<br />73-335 TRe f~tl~w~n~.~e~'er from the Director of Planning, was read:
<br />
<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting on July 3, 1973, the City Planning Commission con-
<br />tinued its review of a proposed group housing project titled "ARMISTEAD GARDENS" which
<br />would be located on a 17 acre tract of land south of Armistead Forest off Towne Point
<br />Road on the boundary of the City of Nansemond. Developer Homer A~mistead is represented
<br />by A~orney Donald Kilgore, architects Yates, Berkeley and Associates and engineers Hassel
<br />and Foulkes. The property is zoned Residential R~7S and as per ~lans presented would be
<br />improved with 210 garden apartments on an extension of Magnolia Drive to the Nansemond
<br />City Coundary and a new loop street designated Tallwood Drive. (These two public street
<br />extension proposals are the subject of a related subdivision application which the Plann-
<br />ing Commission has addressed itself to in the context of your reaction to and action upon
<br />this Group Housing Project.) This developer is anxious to begin negotiations with the
<br />Hampton Roads Sanitation District Commission, the State Health Department and the State
<br />Water Control Board regarding his plans for sanitary sewage disposal.
<br />
<br /> Since May of 1963, the Planning Commission has pursued matters of a Third Crossing 0~
<br />Hampton Roads linked to an extension of Interstate 64 "BELTWAY". In tebruary the Com-
<br />mission accepted "IN PRINCIPLE'! the initial design for ii-664 Corridor "H-l" which suggests
<br />some necessary redesign of the Western Freeway, Route 164. At your suggestion, the Plann-
<br />ing Commission conferred with officials of the Virginia Department of Highways and ex-
<br />changed studies and views with our neighbors in Chesapeake and Nansemond. The Planning
<br />Commission is painfully aware of the fact that this proposed Armistead Gardens Group
<br />Housing Project could ~reate unresolvable problem issues for 1-664 which has neYer been
<br />o~ a sound footing since its inception.
<br />
<br /> The Planning Commission, unanimously, 6n July 3, 1973, resolved to forward the
<br />Armistead Gardens Group Housing Project to you without a recommendat'ion. The Director of
<br />City Pianning was authorized and instructed to provide background information relative to
<br />this reluctance of the Commission to act upon a housing project which might place Inter-
<br />state 664 in jeopardy."
<br />
<br /> Motimnnof Mr. Holley and seconded by Mr. Smith, that approval of the group housing
<br />project titled "ARMISTBAD GARDENS" be granted, was adopted by the .following vote:
<br />
<br />Ayes: Holley, King, Smith, Barnes
<br />Nays: Wentz
