or power line on the Russell property and the right of way
10) of Interstate Highway No. 81. With Mr. Scully was Mr. Wright
of George D. Reynolds Company, an advertising concern from
Hagerstown, Maryland. He asked for a resolution permitting the
erection of a general advertising sign.
There was a general discussion concerning this request,
and it appeared that the desired location of said sign is just
South of an area zoned B -2 and that it appeared proper that
with the consent of the property owners between the area desig-
nated B -2 and the location of the sign, the said area B -2 be
extended to include that of the sign location.
Mr. Scully then informed the Commission that he would
obtain a plat of the area in which the zoning of B -2 would be
extended and the petition of the property owners for the same.
Whereupon, the matter was then continued generally, having
been referred to the Commission by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. James Ross of E. E. Bayliss, Jr., real estate
brokers, appeared on behalf of Julias R. Sell and Virgie E.
Sell with their petition to re -zone their land lying on the
Northern side of U. S. Highway No. 522, in Gainesboro District,
from Agricultural 1 to Business 2.
A general discussion then followed concerning the entire
area from the relocation of Apple Pie Ridge Road West to the
old Graham Store on the North side of said road and from the
access ramp of Virginia Route 37 West to the Western boundary
