of Supervisors was held for the special purpose of considering a Zoning Ordinance
for Cheoterfield County, which hsd been restudied, properly advertised 'according
to law, and was no~ ready to be considered by the Board. Whereupon the
Chairman requested that if there wes anyone present who had any objections to
offer to the proposed ~.oning Ordinance for ~hesterfield County that they be heard
at this time.
There being present approximately fifty citizens of ~hezterfie~d County, a number
of whom stated that they could not support the ordinance because they had not made
a sufficient study to properly inform them of the e~act range of the restrictions
of the properties within the County, and although a large number of those present
stated that they felt the ordinance had been properly advertised and urged the
Board of Supervisors to pass it at this time, it wa~ felt that probably it would
be better to postpone any action on the ~oning Ordinance to a later date.
Upon consideration whereof, and on ~otion of ?.~.Covington, it is resolved that
action on the proposed ~oning Ordinance for Chesterfield County be postponed
until t~e regular meeting on December ll, 194~. Upon which M r. ToD.Watkins
