A conditional use permit request for a proposed 10-unit multiple family dwelling that would house approximately 30 students in the areas of Appomattox, High and Oak streets will see a public hearing with the Farmville Town Council on Wednesday.

The hearing will start at approximately 6:30 p.m., following a 6 p.m. public hearing about the town’s proposed water and sewer rate increase.

The property is zoned as District R-3, which can be classified for multiple family dwellings with a conditional use permit, according to documentation from the planning commission.

The conditional use permit for the one-acre property was requested by Robert R. and Sherry P. Martin, who previously requested a proposed five-story, 95,000-square-foot student apartment at that site.

Members of the Farmville Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 in favor of denying recommendation to the Farmville Town Council for the project.

Town Mayor David Whitus asked if, during the hearing, there would be a presentation from the project developer.

Town Manager Gerald Spates said he believed the hearing would be based from the previous presentation developer Mike Kelley offered during the May Town Council meeting. He said he would ask those involved with the project.
