THE BRUFFEY PROPERTY
The M. C. Hill Funeral Home has purchased this property, which lies across Fry's Spring
Road from the University power plant. The President pointed out that the property had been offered
to the University of Virginia at a price of $34,000, which we did not have and which he considered
too high a price for the property.
Prior to its purchase, Mr. Hill had secured a rezoning of the property to permit the
operation of a funeral home. The President pointed out that the University can appeal to the
Court to order the zoning board to re-hear the case, if the University feels that its property
would be damaged by the opening of a funeral home there. The President stated that he had checked
into the matter with the University's Special Counsel, and it was his recommendation that no
appeal be made. The Board approved of this recommendation, but no formal resolution was adopted.
