Roper Fights For Rezoning

Roper Brothers Lumber Co., Petersburg, Va., has filed suit against tbe city to rebuild a warehouse leveled by a lornado last August

Weelcs aft€r the twist€f,, the city rezoned the site for residential use only. The company applied for rezuring to light indusrial use, met with tbe city council and planning commission nu- merous times, revised its plans in rccordance with council requegts, yet continued to be rejected.

Neighbors claim a giant new warehouse would be a hazard in tbe event of fire or another tornado, discourage tourism, drive down property values and violate the city's master plan, wbicb calls for a residential emphasis on the island.

Roper Brothers president M. Ronald Helms said the problem is with its Pocohontas Island neigbbors. "Tbe residents feel very suongly against rebuilding of any kind," he said. 'They feel like tbey've been encroached upon. We told tbem we have been here since 1909, and they say, 'Well, we've been bere since before the Civil'War."'

"But it dcsn't make much sense to leave (the site) like rhat. It looks like a missile launching pad," he added.

Some fear the company, one of the area's largest employers and taxpayers, might grow fed up and move.

"The biggest problem to me," Helms said, "is we've tried to be good neighbors and we were really surprised to find out that our neighbors don't share this desire.'
