FOR THE RECORD

A setback variance that will be asked for the Norfolk Southern office building planned on a site at Franklin and Williamson roads was incorrectly described in Saturday's newspaper because of a misunderstanding by a reporter.

The railroad's request for a setback variance involves a corner of the building on Franklin Road and not along the pedestrian walkway from the City Market to Elmwood Park.

At a Thursday meeting of the Roanoke Planning Commission, the discussion of a setback for the building on the side bordering a pedestrian walkway involved a voluntary setback, not one required by code. NS has volunteered a 10-foot setback to create an open area alongside the walkway, but it was pointed out that this still could mean that the building will intrude on the line of vision created by the walkway that extends from Elmwood Park to the City Market.

\ Because of a reporter's error, ticket prices for Stuart's June 9 "Hot Fun in the Summertime" beach music festival were incorrectly listed in a story in Thursday's Extra section. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12.50 at the gate.
