<br />* The following-letter received from Mr. John W. Ballard, III, One Commercial Place,
<br />Norfolk, Virginia, pertaining to Z 72-4 and Z 72-5 was read:
<br />
<br /> "We understand that you are considering a rezoning application on the tract of land
<br />formerly known-as the Trotman farm which is adjacent to the farm which we own in the Church-
<br />land section of Portsmouth. We wish to inform the Council that at this time we would not be
<br />opposed to single family houses being built on lots of 10,000 square feet or larger in the
<br />area directly~adjacent to our farm."
<br />
<br />** "I would like to have been present at this City Council meeting tonight in order to
<br />personally convey to you my feelings on the rezoning matter in question. However,a~severe
<br />leg infection has put me in the position that I am forced to stay off my feet as much as
<br />possible. Therefore, please accept this correspondence as my expression.
<br />
<br /> I have never met the-principals of Associated Churchland Investors. However, after some
<br />investigation, I find them to be honest and sincere in their efforts to-work with the com-
<br />munity. Now, the big question is: this property is currently zoned R-150 and they wish it
<br />to be rezoned ~-%00.
<br />
<br /> It is ~he opinion of both my wife and myself that in no way could this rezoning affect
<br />the value of our property. We further agree that should this rezoning be disallowed, it
<br />would affect our city's tax recovery tremendously. In fact, it would not be in the best
<br />interest of the city.
<br />
<br /> We, therefore, both my wife and myself, approve this rezoning. Signed E.L. Ballance,
<br />Jr. and DDris Wentz Ballance~, 4646 River Shore Road"
