Osterhoudt, Attorney, and the petitioner, A. T. Will iam , were present at the hearing. This petition for rezoning had been continued from the September 13 Board meeting on motion by Mrs. Johnson. Chairman asked if any one was present in opposition and approximately eight persons raised their hands Mr. Osterhoudt showed the Supervisors a revised site plan and described the loca tion of the underground tanks had been changed to allow for the proposed widenin of Brambleton Avenue at some future date. The Chairman asked several questions of Mr. Williams and Mr. Osterhoudt then invited the spokesman for the opposition to make his comments. Mr. Gary Denton, General Counsel for the Virginia Gasolin Dealers Association, introduced himself and suggested the Board should consider the safety factors involved in locating a service station next to doctor's offic s, citing the always-present danger of explosion, and also suggested the Board shou d consider drawing a line on the placing of service stations, reminding them that as Mr. Osterhoudt had already stated, there were four (4) existing stations in the immediate area. Mr. Denton said this was an excessive number of stations ar that another was not necessary. He also stated that any service station should be located on a corner lot and not in the middle of a block, as this one would be. Mr. Denton also felt rezoning of said lot to allow another service station would be improper because there was no growth potential. The Chairman asked Mr. Denton if the A. T. Williams Oil Company was a member of his Association; Mr. Denton said it was not, that their chain of stations was controlled directly by the Company.
