<br />68-299 - The following report from the Portsmouth Parking Authority was read:
<br />
<br /> "At the request of the Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Portsmouth Parking A~thority
<br />recently conducted an extensive survey into t~e feasibility of the Authority acquiring the property now owned
<br />by Mr. Saves Joannou located on t~e east side of ~ashington Street between King and County Streets.
<br />
<br /> Immediately upon receiving Council's request the Portsmouth Parking Authority contacted Mr. Hefoert
<br />Robertson, realtor in the negotiations between Mr. Joannou and his prospective lessee, Trailways Bus Company.
<br />Mr. Robertson was most cooperative and agreed to act on behalf of the Authority to see if other property in
<br />.the area might be suitable for the bus company, thereby paving the way for the Authority to buy the land that
<br /> ~{r. Joannou is currently planning to lease to Trailways, leaving Mr. Joannou the proceeds from this sale with
<br /> which to acquire other property to lease to Trailways.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Robertson talked with thet~lhree property owners on the southwest corner of County and }iashington
<br />Streets. He found that all three would be willing to sell although he felt the price was a little high. Dis-
<br />regarding this~ however, he contacted ~r. H~phries of the Trailway~ Bus Company in Raleigh, North Carolina.
<br />Mr. Humphries &~dicated that Trailways had looked at many locations in Portsmouth, including the southwest
<br />corner of Washington and County and found none suitable to their needs. They are interested only in the pro-
<br />perty presently owned by Mr. Joannou and will not consider any other.
