TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1988. <br /> <br />alley parallel to Lavinder Street, both within--or surrounded by--property <br />owned Mr. Hussey. The closing of this street and the alley, the Planning <br />Commission reported, will enable Mr. Hussey to subdivide his property at that <br />location into three large lots for industrial purposes. At City Manager <br />Brown's request, and with Mr. Hussey's concurrence, Council postponed action on <br />this petition for a period of two-to-four weeks to enable the City <br />Administration to study the possibility and feasibility of constructing a new <br />access road to serve Pannill Knitting Company's Roy Street plant (and relieve <br />congestion on nearby residential streets), the location of which access road, <br />which would be some 1,200 feet in length from Lavinder Street, might be <br />correlated with Mr. Hussey's plans for the development of his properties in the <br />Lavinder Street area. The record notes, meanwhile, that no objections were <br />registered against Mr. Hussey's petition by any citizen. <br /> <br />In accordance with duly-published public notice, Council conducted a public <br />hearing on a proposed ordinance (identified as Ordinance No. 88-7) which, if <br />adopted as proposed, will impose (and levy) a special tax on local consumers of <br />telephone service in the initial amount of 72¢ per month per access line to <br />finance the cost (capital, installation, and maintenance) of installing and <br />operating an enhanced (Egll) emergency telephone system to serve--and be <br />jointly operated by--Martinsville and Henry County, with said levy to be <br />reduced when the capitaland installation costs have been fully recovered to a <br />level necessary to offset recurring maintenance costs only. In the ensuing <br />discussion of this matter, to which no citizen registered any objections, <br />Councilman McClain, while supportive of the Egll concept, expressed his <br /> <br /> <br />
