Noes: Mr. Buck and Mrs. O'Brien. The City Manager reminded the Council that on June 18, 1978, the Council authorized the issuance of one million dollars general improvement bonds for the purpose of providing the City's share of renovation of the library. He stated that the money has not been needed to date, but will be needed in the not too distant future and have put off the actual sale of bonds. He stated it is our intention to go to the market sometime in the next two' or three months and in order to do so the ordinance which was previously adopted needs to be readopted. An ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND REORDAINING AN ORDINANCE ADOPTED ON JUNE 19., 1978, AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) GENERAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVIL~, VIRGINIA, TO PROVIDE THAT THE BONDS AUTHORIZED THEREBY MAY BE ISSUED ON OR BEFORE JUNE 30, 1980 AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE CHANGE OF CERTAIN DESIGNATIONS AND DETAILS OF SAID BONDS," was offered by Mrs, O'Brien, seconded by Mr. Gate- wood and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. A communication was presented from the Planning Commission recommending that the petition to rezone from B-2 to B-3 the property located on the north side of IVy Road between Dynamics, Inc. and the Cavalier Inn to the C & 0 Railway tracks be denied for the following reasons: 1. it would be contrary to the 1990 Land Use Plan; 2. it will have a significant impact on the surrounding .area in terms of traffic; 3. the property suitable for the purposes for which it is presently zoned; 4. at present there are sufficient services available in the area to serve the present.needs of the residence; 5. there will be no significant increase in economic benefits to the City over the present zoning. Mr. Fred Landess, Attorney for the petitioner requested that action be deferred on this petition to allow the petitioner to send Council additional information. Mr. Frank Gary speaking for the Lewis Mountain Road Neighborhood Association spoke in opposition to a deferral. Mr. Gatewood remarked that it has been proved before in many other instances that as long as an issue is debated new points would be brought up and new ways to 10ok at old points would be found and it seems that if this decision is delayed both sides would have t~ have an equal opportunity and that probably means a public hearing and that could go on forever. He stated the public hearing has been.held and the-Council has gotten sufficienn facts to make up its mind so we should proceed with a decision.
