IN RE: PROCLAMATIONS, RESOLUTIONS, RECOGNITIONS AND AWARDS 1. Proclamation declaring August 27, 2004 as the fifth annual Hokie Pride Day in Roanoke County Chairman Flora presentedthe proclamation to Brian Wilson and Pat Green. IN RE: NEW BUSINESS 1. Request to approve resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement between Roanoke County and Roanoke City relocating portions of the boundary line between said governmental entities, and authorizing that certain other actions relating to such boundary line be taken as provided by law. (Paul M. Mahoney, County Attorney) R-082404-1 Mr. Mahoney advised that the Board has taken action on similar items in the past where Roanoke County has amended, changed, or relocated boundary lines with neighboring jurisdictions. He stated that boundary line relocations are being 625 August 24, 2004 requested in the following three areas between Roanoke City and Roanoke County: (1) An approximately 53 acre parcel of real estate known as Vinyard Park II. The Vinyard family donated a substantial parcel of real estate to Roanoke County, which has been turned into athletic facilities known as Vinyard Park I (located in the County) and Vinyard Park II (located in the City). The relocation will place this property in Roanoke County. (2) Approximately 33 acres located near the regional sewage treatment plant. Over the past several years, Roanoke City has acquired several parcels in the area, and it was felt that it would be best to have all the parcels adjoining the sewage treatment plant be located within the boundaries of Roanoke City; (3) Approximately a 9 acre tract near Rockydale Quarries. The proposed agreement would place this property in Roanoke City. Mr. Mahoney advised that the land that will be coming into the County will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and it is anticipated that it will be recommended that this land be designated R-2. Both jurisdictions will be holding public hearings on this matter, and it has been published in the newspaper. Roanoke City took action at their August 16 meeting, and there were no citizens present to speak on the matter. Mr. Mahoney also advised that included in the agenda packet was a series of maps that depict the areas and specificboundaries involved in each transaction. If the resolution is approved by the Board, the Mayor and Chairman will execute the agreement and a petition will be filed with the Circuit Court with all the necessary plats attached. If approved by the Circuit Court, the boundary line will be relocated. Staff is 626 August 24, 2004 recommending an effective date of January 1 to coincide with the typical county and city real estate tax year. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Mr. Mahoney reported that the boundary line adjustment for the quarry will not affect any houses. In response to a further inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Mr. Hodge stated that the revenues which the County now receives for the quarry will go to Roanoke City in the future. Supervisor Flora questioned whether the bulk of the quarry operations are currently in the County or the City. Mr. Hodge reported that most of the operations are already in the City. He also advised that this adjustment in the boundary lines has been reviewed by the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), who are both supportive of the change. VDOT noted that this would improve road access onto Route 220. Supervisor Wray asked if this would realign the road. Mr. Hodge responded that it would. Supervisor Altizer moved to adopt the resolution. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:SupervisorsMcNamara,Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None RESOLUTION 082404-1 AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ROANOKE COUNTY AND ROANOKE CITY RELOCATING PORTIONS OF THEBOUNDAY LINE BETWEEN SAID GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, AND AUTHORIZING THAT CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS RELATING TO SUCH BOUNDARY LINE BE TAKEN AS PROVIDED BY LAW 627 August 24, 2004 WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Article 2, Chapter 31, Title 15.2 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, the governing bodies of Roanoke County and Roanoke City wish to petition the Circuit Court for approval to relocate portions of the boundary line between the two jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, the relocation the boundary line of such governmental entities in the areas proposed will permit more effective and efficient delivery of municipal services and promote the public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, the governing body of Roanoke City has adopted a measure reflecting its desire to relocate and change portions of the boundary line between the two localities as required by certain property owners within said areas; and WHEREAS, Roanoke City and RoanokeCounty have agreed to the boundary relocations by action of their respective governing bodies.

On motion of Supervisor Altizer to adopt the resolution, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors McNamara, Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None 628 August 24, 2004 2. Request to appropriate funds from the state for the 2003-2004 fiscal year to the following departments: (Brent Robertson, Director of Management and Budget) (a) Request to appropriate $115,000 from the state for fiscal year 2003-2004 for Public Assistance Programs in the Department of Social Services A-082404-2 Mr. Robertson reported that the following requests are to appropriate funds from the state for fiscal year 2003-2004. The reimbursements are for costs that have already been incurred by the departments. The Department of Social Services has requested an appropriation of $115,000 to the aid to dependent children program. Mr. Robertson stated that the Department of Social Services receives additional appropriations throughout the year for public assistance and services delivery. During fiscal year 2003-2004, the department provided services for various programs including transitional day care, aid to foster children, and adoption subsidy that are 100% reimbursable from the federal government. He stated that staff recommends an appropriation to recognize an additional $115,000 of Federal IV-E revenues for fiscal year 2003-2004 and to appropriate $115,000 to the expenditure budget of Social Services to cover the costs of the related services. Supervisor Church asked Mr. Robertson to explain why this procedure is necessary when there is no fiscal impact to the County. Mr. Robertson advised that at 629 August 24, 2004 the time the County budget is established, the state has not yet adopted the social services budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Additional appropriations are therefore necessary throughout the year. The SocialServices Department provides the service and incurs the cost up front, and the associated revenues must then be appropriated. Supervisor McNamara moved to approve the staff recommendation (an appropriation to recognize an additional $115,000 of Federal IV-E revenues for FY 2003-2004 and to appropriate $115,000 to the expenditure budget of Social Services to cover the costs of the related services). The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:SupervisorsMcNamara,Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None (b) Request to accept and appropriate additional state revenues in the amount of $98,000 to the Sheriff’s Office for fiscal year 2003-2004 budget A-082404-3 Mr. Robertson advised that as in previous years,the inmate population at the Roanoke County jail has remained above capacity. As a result, operational costs such as food, utilities, medical costs, etc. continue to consume a substantial portion of the jail’s budget. Due to the increased inmate population, the Sheriff is projecting expenditures related to inmate care to exceed original budget allocations by $98,000 for FY 2003-2004. State reimbursement for commonwealth responsible prisoners is subject to state prisoner population, general assembly appropriations, and political 630 August 24, 2004 factors, variables difficult to consider in revenue projections. Mr. Robertson stated that based on the revenue estimates versus the projected revenues anticipated to be collected from the state and from the City of Salem for the Sheriff’s Department for FY 2003-2004, revenues in excess of budget for these categories should total approximately $110,000. The FY 2004-2005 expenditure budget for the jail has been adjusted to reflect the increased inmate population that has steadily grown over the last several years; therefore, if additional appropriations are needed at the end of the current fiscal year, the addition should be minimal. He advised that staff recommends an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $98,000 of revenue for FY 2003- 2004 for personnel and operations reimbursement and increasing the FY 2003-2004 care and confinement budget within the Sheriff's department by $98,000 to cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population, staffing requirements, and capital reimbursements. Supervisor Wray inquired if the $6 per day reimbursement by the state is the same rate paid to the City of Salem.Mr. Robertson responded that Salem’s rate is negotiated separately based on the actual costs in the jail. He indicated that the contract with the jail is based on actual operating and capital costs, usually in arrears, and it is negotiated on an annual basis. In response to a further inquiry from Supervisor Wray, he advised that this amount could be more and he estimated that Salem reimburses Roanoke County approximately $11 - $12 per day. Supervisor Flora noted that the reimbursement rate from the state has gone down every year for approximately the last 10 years. He stated that in the past, 631 August 24, 2004 the reimbursement rate was close to $18 or $19 per day; but as the state budget tightened, the burden was shifted to local governments. Supervisor Church moved to approve the staff recommendation (an appropriation adjustment to recognize an additional $98,000 of revenue for FY 2003- 2004 for personnel and operations reimbursement and increasing the FY 2003-2004 care and confinement budget within the Sheriff's department by $98,000 to cover increased operational costs of the jail caused by increased inmate population, staffing requirements, and capital reimbursements). The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:SupervisorsMcNamara,Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None (c) Request to appropriate $24,810 to the Clerk of the Circuit Court from the state for fiscal year 2003-2004 A-082404-4 Mr. Robertson reported that during fiscal year 2003-04, the Clerk of the Circuit Court incurred expenses relatingto the purchase of software, hardware, maintenance, and related upgrades to the indexing software utilized by the courts. These expenses were reimbursed by the state through technology funds earmarked for this purpose and now need to be appropriated to the Clerk of Circuit Court. He stated that staff recommends appropriating $24,810 to the Clerk of Circuit Court for fiscal year 2003-2004. 632 August 24, 2004 Supervisor Wray moved to approve the staff recommendation (appropriation of $24,810 to the Clerk of Circuit Court for fiscal year 2003-2004).

Second reading of an ordinance to obtain a special use permit to construct a telecommunications facility located at 7401 Barrens Road, Hollins Magisterial District, upon the petition of Virginia PCS Alliance, LC, d/b/a/ NTELOS. (Janet Scheid, Chief Planner) O-082404-9 Ms. Scheid advised that this is the location of the Hollins Fire and Rescue building. The request is to construct a 199 foot monopole broadcast tower as part of a telecommunications facility. The pole will be 195 feet with a lightning rod which extends the height to 199 feet, which is the maximum allowed by the Roanoke County zoning ordinance. The facility would contain up to five lease areas and would allow for co- location of both Roanoke County equipment and other vendors.Ms. Scheid stated that the project site is generally level and faces Barrens Road and Peters Creek Road 300 646 August 24, 2004 feet to the south. The tower will be constructed of galvanized steel with a flat matte finish and will have attached directional panel, omni-directional, and whip antennas. It will be accessed by the existing Hollins Station dual entrances on Barrens Road. The utilities for the proposed tower will be underground, although the general area is served by overhead power lines. The site is in close proximity to commercial areas on Peters Creek Road and the Hollins community. The 2.5 acre property is designated neighborhood conservation bythe 1998 community plan, and is generally where the County would like to see single family residential neighborhoods be encouraged. The location of a telecommunications tower is not addressed in the community plan as either being compatible or not compatible. Ms. Scheid stated that there is a small likelihood of visual impact to Tinker or Read Mountains, and the greatest visual impact will be to nearby homes. The site is home to an existing telecommunication facility which is approximately one-half (½) the height of this proposed structure. The zoning on the site of C-2 is consistent with the telecommunication facility request. The height of the tower is not near the ridgeline, and the proposal made by NTELOSgenerally conforms to the County’s broadcast tower regulations which encourage the use of monopoles and co- location. Ms. Scheid reported that the Planning Commission unanimously approved the SUP with the following conditions: (1) The site and location of the broadcast tower shall be in conformity with the concept plan prepared by Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates PC, revision dated June 18, 2004; (2) The broadcast tower shall be constructed only in conjunction with the facility compound shown on sheet S-2 of the concept plan; (3) The maximum height of the broadcast tower shall be 199 feet; (4) Per Federal Aviation 647 August 24, 2004 Administration (FAA) review, no marking or lighting of the proposed antenna tower is required and none shall be installed. In response to inquiries from Supervisor Wray, Ms. Scheid advised that the building will be leased and the FAA has determined that the tower will not require lighting. In addition, she advised that she is only aware of two vendors who will be situated on the tower: NTELOS and the County. In response to inquiries by Supervisor Wray regarding contractual matters, Anne Marie Green, Director of General Services, advised that staff is currently in negotiations with NTELOS and the contract will come back to the Board of Supervisors for approval, possibly in September. She also advised that the proposed tower is an appropriate fit for the neighborhood because it is a more modern tower, it is served by a backup generator, and the County will have additional space on the tower and space to place other equipment if necessary. She alsostated that it is possible the tower may be feasible for use with the new paging system being purchased by the County. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Altizer, Ms. Green advised that two scenarios are being explored in the contract negotiations: (1) If NTELOS abandons the tower and no longer needs the tower; (2) If NTELOS wishes to sell the tower, there would be a provision allowing Roanoke County the right of first refusal to purchase the tower. Supervisor Church inquired whether the FAA had concerns about the location of the tower due to the close proximity of the airport.Ms. Green advised that Jessie Wilmer, NTELOS representative, is present and could address these concerns. 648 August 24, 2004 She also advised that the properties adjacent to this site include First Team Auto Mall, a church, and houses. Ms. Wilmer stated that NTELOS has 835 cell sites which include 97 in the Roanoke Valley and 29 in Roanoke County/Roanoke City. This proposal would include 3,500 square feet of space that would be leased from Roanoke County for the monopole site behind the fire and rescue station. She stated that at present, there is spotty coverage from the Williamson Road/Peters Creek Road intersection south to Interstate 581 and at the Roanoke Regional Airport.This tower will resolve the capacity and coverage problems being experienced by NTELOS. She further advised that T- mobile and US Cellular are interested in co-locating at this site. Roanoke County will receive additional revenue for additional co-locators. NTELOS has reserved the top slot on the tower at 195 feet, and Roanoke County has reserved 10 foot sections at 150 and 170 feet for communications equipment. She stated that the project has received approval from the FAA, Phase I environmental approvals, and historic preservation approvals. If approved, it is anticipated that the County equipment can be relocated to the new tower by November or December. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Ms. Wilmer advised that any issues involving assignment of the tower in the event NTELOS decides to sell the site will be covered in the contract currently being negotiated. Supervisor Church inquired whether any special concessions were made. Ms. Wilmer responded in the negative, and stated that NTELOS has a consultant that 649 August 24, 2004 files the FAA and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) papers and then coordinates with the appropriate local jurisdiction. There were no citizens present to speak on this item. Supervisor Flora noted that this site is well out of the flight path of the east/west runway, and even further out of the north/south flight path. In addition, it is over 100 feet below the runway elevation. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Ms. Wilmer indicated that the 195 foot tower height is needed in order to provide adequate service levels and to maintain 10 foot separation levels between vendors to prevent interference on the tower. Supervisor Flora advised that a community meeting was held on this matter and no citizens were present. In addition, no citizens were present at the Planning Commission meeting. Supervisor Flora moved to adopt the ordinance. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:SupervisorsMcNamara,Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None ORDINANCE 082404-9 GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO VIRGINIA PCS ALLIANCE, LC dba NTELOS TO CONSTRUCT A TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY TO BE LOCATED AT 7401 BARRENS ROAD (TAX MAP NO. 27.13-4-1) HOLLIINS MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT WHEREAS, Virginia PCS Alliance, LC dba NTELOS has filed a petition for a special use permit to construct a telecommunications facility to be located at 7401 Barrens Road (Tax Map No. 27.13-4-1) in the Hollins Magisterial District; and 650 August 24, 2004 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter on August 3, 2004; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, held a first reading on this matter on July 27, 2004; the second reading and public hearing on this matter was held on August 24, 2004. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1.That the Board finds that the granting of a special use permit to Virginia PCS Alliance, LC dba NTELOS to construct a telecommunications facility to be located at 7401 Barrens Road in the Hollins Magisterial District is substantially in accord with the adopted 2000 Community Plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2232 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, and said special use permit is hereby approved with the following conditions: (1)The site and locationof the broadcast tower shall be in conformity with the concept plan prepared by Patton Harris Rust & Associates, PC, revision dated June 18, 2004. (2)The broadcast tower shall be constructed only in conjunction with the facility compound as shown onsheet S-2 of the concept plan. (3)The maximum height of the broadcast tower shall be 199 feet. (4)Per Federal Aviation Administration review, no marking or lighting of the proposed antenna tower is required and none shall be installed. 2.That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its final passage. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance be, and the same hereby are, repealed. The Zoning Administrator is directed to amend the zoning district map to reflect the change in zoning classification authorized by this ordinance. On motion of Supervisor Flora to adopt the ordinance, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors McNamara, Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None 7. Second reading of an ordinance to obtain a special use permit to develop and operate a golf course on 362 acres and to rezone 115 acres from AG-3 Agricultural to AR Agricultural Residential with conditions located at 3687 Pitzer Road, Vinton Magisterial District, upon the petition of George Golf Design, Inc. (Janet Scheid, Chief Planner) 651 August 24, 2004 O-082404-10 he conceptual plan provided by the petitioner Ms. Scheid stated that t shows the layout of the golf course covering approximately 250 acres with the remaining 112 acres being reserved for future residential development. The course will span both sides of Pitzer Road and utilize a pedestrian/golf cart crossing of the road. The conceptual plan depicts the future residential development in three separate areas of the site: the northwest corner, the southwest corner, and the southeast corner on the east side of Saul Lane. The proposal is for an 18-hole golf course, a club house and a maintenance facility. The type of golf course (private equity, private membership, or public)has not yet been determined by the petitioner. Ms. Scheid stated that the club house could range in size from 5,000 to 25,000 square feet depending on the type of course built. For instance, a public daily fee - course would call for a club house towards the smaller end of the size range it would likely have a small pro shop, a small snack bar, an eating and gathering area and an outdoor pavilion area. On the other hand, a private course would necessitate a club house towards the upper end of the size range. This type of club house would provide member services such as locker rooms, shower facilities, golf bag storage areas and would have a more complete dining facility. In either case, the club house would typically operate the same daily hours as the golf course and the food service facility would be primarily for patrons of the golf course. The design of the club house will be architecturally compatible with the rural nature of the 652 August 24, 2004 proposed site and the exterior will primarilybe constructed of stone, brick and wood. Ms. Scheid advised that it is the petitioner's intent that the club house be an attractive attribute to the golf course and appear to belong on the site. She noted that golf cart storage will be indoors. Ms. Scheid reported that as stated earlier, the golf course is proposed to be constructed on both sides of Pitzer Road and a golf cart crossing of Pitzer Road is shown on the conceptual plan.VDOT will review the request for this crossing and determine any necessary safety features. The petitioner has stated that typically those features include marked pedestrian cross walks, caution signs and/or "slow golf cart crossing" signs.A maintenance facility will be required for the operation of the golf course. Ms. Scheid advised that the location of the maintenance facility is being changed as a result of citizen input at the Planning Commission meeting. The facility needs road access and will have parking for approximately 15 employees. The building will range in size from 5,000 to 12,000 square feet and will be single story. It will consist of equipment storage, repair shop, storage of chemicals, fertilizer and grass seed. Approximately three tractor trailers will off-load at this location per year. The design of this facility will be integrated and blended into the site and the building facade will be appropriate for the rural location. The petitioner has stated that he will use primarily organic chemicals on the course and all chemicals will be within the guidelines of the U. S. Environmental Protection 653 August 24, 2004 Agency (EPA). A professional golf course superintendent experienced in chemical application will manage the golf course maintenance operation. Ms. Scheid advised that the petitionerplans to begin construction of the golf course by the end of 2004 with an anticipated opening date of spring to summer 2006. Access to the site will be from Pitzer Road, State Route 617. A minimum of 24 foot paved driveway will serve the club house area. She stated that Pitzer Road has a statutory speed limit of 55 mph in this location. Upon review by the Roanoke County Traffic Engineer and the VDOT Assistant Resident Engineer, it is estimated that approximately 650-730 vehicle trips per day could be generated by the golf course alone. Ms. Scheid stated that the traffic projections are based on national averages and studies of municipal courses, private country clubs and public courses with driving ranges, clubhouses, banquet facilities, etc. The projections may be high and the type of course will determine the actual number of trips generated by the site. Ms. Scheid reported that the United States Department of Interior, National Park Service has stated that the golf course will not be visible from the Blue Ridge Parkway and therefore they have no visual impact concerns with the proposed golf course. They have also stated that they would like the opportunity to review any proposed housing on this site to ensure that the scenic quality of this view area is not compromised. The site is designated as Rural Preserve in the 1998 Community Plan. The golf course is consistent with the Community Plan 654 August 24, 2004 designation and will provide a rural, recreational facility. Any future housing planned for the site will either be allowed by right or will require a rezoning action and review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of Supervisors. Ms. Scheid indicated that two community meetings were held regarding this rezoning request and at the most recent meeting, there was unanimous support for the project. Ms. Scheid stated that the proposed rezoning from AG-3 to AR includes a proffered condition limiting the residential density to what is currently allowed under the AG-3 zoning, and also a request for a special use permit on the entire 362 acres to operate a golf course. The Planning Commission approved the request with a vote of 4-0 with the following proffer: (1) Residential density on tax maps #79.04-2-10, #79.04-2-10.1, #79.04-2-10.2, #79.04-2-11 and #79.04-2-12 will be no greater than 1 house per 3 acres, as currently allowed under AG-3 zoning, unless a subsequent rezoning to Planned Residential Development (PRD), per the Roanoke County zoning ordinance, is approved. The Planning Commission also attached the following conditions to the special use permit: (1) The chemicals used on the golf course shall minimize the effect on ground water pollution. (2) The club house shall be constructed primarily of the following exterior materials: stone, brick and wood. Ms. Scheid advised that two actions are required: a motion with respect to the rezoning followed by a motion with respect to the special use permit. Supervisor Church expressed reservations about the accuracy of the traffic estimates, particularly when a tournament is taking place. He questioned 655 August 24, 2004 where the data was obtained. Ms. Scheid stated that this is a national average that comes from the National Institute of Traffic Engineers and includes a variety of types of courses from public to private. Supervisor Church stated for the record that he feels the average is too low. In response to inquiries from Supervisor Wray, Ms. Scheid stated that the total acreage for the rezoning is 115 acres. She further advised that the total acreage for the special use permit is 362 acres, and the golf course would be 250 acres. With respect to water service, Ms. Scheid indicated that the petitioner will operate the golf course off of private wells. Supervisor Altizer questioned whether a community well system, if it were to come about, would fall under a Section 2232 review. Ms. Scheid responded that the Code of Virginia requires that any public water or sewer system would have to be reviewed by the Planning Commission under Section 15.2-2232. She further reported that this would not necessarily be heard by the Board of Supervisors since it is a Planning Commission review. It would only come to the Board if they appeal the Planning Commission decision. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Altizer, Ms. Scheid stated that the proffered condition on the rezoning relating to density will transfer with the land if it is sold, unless it is changed by action of the Board. , petitioner, stated he has designed and built courses for Lester George the past 19 years in the United States and abroad. The business is family owned 656 August 24, 2004 and operated. He advised that also present at the meeting were Eric Allen, Watershed Consulting, and Andrew Frank, an architect in his design firm. He advised that the most critical part of the initial process is obtaining permission to construct the golf course. He stated that all localities are different, and golf is typically allowed in agricultural zoning. In this case, it is AR and not AG zoning. He requested approval of the petition, and presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting some of the courses he has designed. Following the presentation, Mr. George advised that he had met with the citizens in Mt. Pleasant four weeks ago to address their concerns. He stated that he would like to begin construction before year-end in order to avoid missing a growing season. He further advised that the maintenance facility will be relocated based on concerns expressed by Ms. Corcoran relating to traffic. He stated that residential development is not part of his request, and he noted that the project received unanimous support from the Mt. Pleasant Civic League. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Church, Mr. George advised that he is commissioning a market feasibility study to determine what type course (i.e., high-end daily fee, semi-private, private equity fee) would be best suited to the area. In response to further inquiries, he stated that he has no goal with regard to the development of houses. He indicated that when he initially received the plat from the land owner, it showed 208 housing units could be built by right on the property. 657 August 24, 2004 Supervisor Church inquired if Mr. George was familiar with the recent drought experienced in the area. Mr. George responded that he began working with David Paylor, State Drought Coordinator, the day after regulations were issued prohibiting watering of golf courses. He advised that he was able to successfully resolve this issue in conjunction with Mr. Paylor. He further indicated that as water levels draw down, there are measures available to protect the course. Mr. George advised that he is aware of watering capacity and a watershed consultant will be part of the project. In response to a further inquiry from Supervisor Church, Mr. George reported that 1” per week of water is needed when growing. This equates to an anchor foot per month, which is approximately 365,000 gallons. He stated that once the grass is germinated, it will reduce the amount of water needed. He noted that he anticipates placing approximately 100 acres of sod on the site, which eliminates the germination period for these areas. He indicated that a sustainable 250 gallons of water per minute is needed. Supervisor Wray inquired about the membership fee to join Kinloch Golf Club in Richmond. Mr. George advised that the equity membership fee is $135,000. He stated that the members own a percentage of the property, which can be recouped if a member leaves the club.Mr. George stated that he felt an equity model could be successful in Roanoke, but with a different fee structure. He advised that the market study being conducted would determine what is an acceptable fee structure. 658 August 24, 2004 In response to further inquiries by Supervisor Wray, Mr. George advised that he does not own the out parcels and is not negotiating to purchase them or the parcel in the middle of the property. He reported that he has developed over 90 projects, of which 55-65 have been renovations or restorations. The remainder consists of 9-hole courses, private par-3 courses, an 18 hold championship facility which was built in Hiroshima, Japan, and a municipal golf course which cost $80 million. He stated that he has handled approximately 25 new master plans. Supervisor Wray inquired if a perk soil test had been done. Mr. George responded that it had been done by the previous petitioner. He further advised that as part of his ongoing evaluation, he will conduct the following tests: hydro geological, watershed, wetlands, waters of the US, soil studies, and fracture trace analysis for water. He advised that this is necessary to make sure the lake can be constructed. He also indicated that these processes are ongoing and will comply with the County’s review process. In response to Supervisor Wray’s inquiry, Ms. Scheid advised that the County does not have any information about the perk soil test since it was privately conducted. She advised that the health department does not have anything on record for the past 10 years. Mr. George advisedthat he does not intend to request public water and sewer for the project. The following citizens spoke on this item at the public hearing: Annie Krochalis, 9428 Patterson Drive, stated that she is more concerned about the scope of the plan rather than with the golf course itself. She stated that in reading staff reports, the project is termed a “golf community” and County administration 659 August 24, 2004 has stated that they anticipate providing water and sewer to the golf community. She questioned if this is included in the Community Plan. She stated that the traffic study does not include data on any residential traffic which would result from housing. Also, she stated protection of the Blue Ridge Parkway view shed should be part of the written proffers which would make them part of any future development since the proffer passes with the land. She expressed concerns about the potential environmental impact on mature trees and streams, and requested that the Board address the full scope of the project. , 316 Chestnut Mountain Drive, stated that the Board has Shelby Cundiff never cast a vote that will impact a community as much as this project. She requested that the Board take the time and use their expertise to analyze every issue pertaining to this project. She stated that the spin-off development could spiral out of control, and she does not want the Mt. Pleasant community to be sacrificed. She stated there is only one opportunity to do this right, and the outcome will impact future generations. , 6909 Mary B. Place, voiced concerns about the extension Elizabeth Abe of water and sewer. She referenced a July 23 article wherein Mr. Hodge was quoted as saying that the extension of water and sewer has long been a part of the plan. She stated that she inquired about this at a Mt. Pleasant Civic League meeting and was told it was part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Ms. Abe stated that at the Planning Commission meeting, the County’s Chief Planner stated that no discussion regarding extension of water and sewer was in the CIP. Ms. Abe noted the proffer regarding density and indicated that if water and sewer is extended, the density usually increases. 660 August 24, 2004 She questioned whether the density will change if water and sewer is extended in the future. She voiced support for the inclusion of an environmental consultant on the project, and also concurred with Supervisor Church’s comments regarding traffic concerns. She noted that a study conducted in 2000 showed several roads having limited geometrics. She advised that additional information is needed and informed the Board that they have up to a year to make a decision, per State Code. , 3033 Bonsall Lane, spoke as president of the Mt. Pleasant Mikael Roop Civic League and noted that the developer approached the neighbors to address their concerns relating to this project. He advised that there have been some questions regarding Mr. George’s reputation, but he feels there is no basis to these concerns. He stated that two meetings were held in Mt. Pleasant and the civic league has voted to endorse the project. At this time, Mr. Roop asked the Mt. Pleasant residents who were present in the audience to stand as a show of support for the project. Nine (9) citizens stood to indicate their support. Mr. Roop stated that there have been concerns about the potential for housing development and the impact on schools. He noted that Roanoke County Schools Blue Ribbon Commission has slated Mt. Pleasant for Phase II renovation which can be done in conjunction with any future residential development, which makes the timing significant. He further advised that the only substantiated traffic count report was supplied by County staff. He indicated that in the past, Mt. Pleasant has been proposed for a landfill and an interstate; however this project will enhance the community, and he requested the Board’s approval of the project. 661 August 24, 2004 Mr. Hodge reported that approximately 10 years ago, he met with representatives of the Blue Ridge Parkway(BRP) to identify possible crossings where future water lines would want to be extended. Of the approximately 9 crossings identified at that time, one was in the Mt. Pleasant area. In each case if water and sewer line extensions are proposed, the request would have to go back to the BRP for approval. The objective at that time was for long-range planning purposes. Mr. Hodge advised that Mr. George intendsto use private wells and septic tanks for this project, and a lake will be used for irrigation and stormwater management purposes. With regard to the wetlands, Mr. Hodge stated that Mr. George intends to feature these aspects of the property in a manner consistent with all federal and local regulations. Supervisor Church askedMr. Hodge if he has promised water and sewer line extensions in conjunction with thisdevelopment. Mr. Hodge responded in the negative. He stated that Mr. George is asking for public wells and septic for this project. If housing is an issue in the future, it will go back through the planning process for approval. Any request to use public watermust also go through this process. Mr. Hodge emphasized that Roanoke County must consider alternative projects that are currently pending for housing on this site. Supervisor Wray inquired if the wetlands would be a swap from Explore Park. Mr. Hodge responded that on one occasion he stated to Mr. George that if it became a necessity to relocate wetlands from the subject property, the County could possibly look at Explore Park. Mr. George has advised that this would not be necessary and he will work with the wetlands and feature them in the design. 662 August 24, 2004 Eric Allen, Watershed Consultant, stated that a preliminary wetland delineation has been done on site and areas of wetlands and streams that would be jurisdictional have been identified. He stated that his firm has worked with Mr. George and the original concept plan, which had a series of lakes in the area where the majority of the wetlands are located, has been revised to stay away from these areas and treat them as natural attributes. Mr. Allen advised that it is likely that a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) permit will be required due to some minor stream channel impacts. He stated that it would be virtually impossible to do a development of this size without any impacts. He stated that they will go through the necessary permit process and comply with all DEQ regulations. Supervisor Wray noted that Mr. Hodge had recommended approval of the project in order to preserve open space and promoteeconomic development. Mr. Hodge responded that this will be a nice small business employing 25-40 individuals. He stated that it is an outstanding facility that would be an attraction that could be used for tournaments and would work in harmony with other golf courses in the area. Supervisor McNamara inquired if the rezoning proffer pertaining to housing density remains the same if water and sewer is extended to the site. Ms. Scheid responded that it would. In response to further inquiries from Supervisor McNamara, Ms. Scheid advised that of the 362 acres, all but 115 acres are currently zoned AR. The allowable density for AR zoning is one (1) house per acre without public water and sewer, for a maximum number of 247 possible houses on this property. If there is public water and private sewer, the allowable density goes up to one (1) house 663 August 24, 2004 per 30,000 square feet. Ms. Scheid advisedthat one acre equals 43,000 square feet. Supervisor McNamara noted that the remaining 112 acres is AG3 and questioned if the property would remain AG3 if water were extended to the property. Ms. Scheid reported that it would stay AG3 until changed by a rezoning petition. Supervisor McNamara questioned if there were manyareas in the County that have public water where the zoning does not change during the ten year review. Ms. Scheid responded no and indicated that the existence of public water and sewer is one of the conditions that would normally be examined in a comprehensive rezoning. Supervisor McNamara stated that many of the questions have focused on water to the site. He noted that the property is 362 acres and 250 acres are being used for the golf course. There are 112 acres which have a proffer for no more than 1 house per three (3) acres, unless the Board takes some subsequent action. This limits the potential for housing development to no more than 40 houses, and there could easily have been more than 200 houses built on this site. He stated that there is a tremendous benefit for everyone involved from a variety of perspectives such as conservation, view shed protection, and economic development. He stated that he cannot put a negative spin on this project and he feels that if a golf course does not go on the site, there will be housing on this property. He advised that this is a best case scenario for the County – develop a golf course, generate revenue, decrease the potential number of houses, and create a tourism draw, all without incurring additional services that would be necessary with housing development. 664 August 24, 2004 Supervisor Altizer asked if the rezoning and the SUP are approved and we take into consideration what might be used for roads and gutters, is it accurate to state that there might be 67-70 houses allowed by right. Ms. Scheid confirmed that this was an accurate assumption with respect to the residual 112 acres. Supervisor Altizer stated from this standpoint if the project is approved tonight, the County will have a golf course and the potential for 67-70 houses. He questioned if Mr. George were to sell the property, would all the conditions pass to whoever purchases the land. Ms. Scheid confirmed that the conditions on the property stay with the land. Supervisor Altizer questioned whether a condition needs to be placed on the SUP with respect to density. Ms. Scheid advised that no condition is needed on the SUP because a change in density must go through the rezoning process including a public hearing with the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Altizer noted that Mr. George made a statement at a meeting in Mt. Pleasant that once an investment partner was determined, additional housing might be requested. He asked Mr. George if he came into this rezoning process thinking that anything beyond what is being considered at the meeting tonight has been guaranteed to him. Mr. George responded that he did not. With respect to the rezoning, Supervisor Altizer inquired if Mr. George would have a problem with the parkway being involved in the review of any development proposals. Mr. George stated that this decision would be up to whomever becomes involved in the project since this is a by right issue; however, he personally does not have a problem with the Department of the Interior being involved. 665 August 24, 2004 Supervisor Wray inquired if the owner of the property was present. Ronnie Brooks, 4617 Phyllis Road, Bonsack, advised that he was the owner of the property. Supervisor Wray inquired if he had attempted to sell the property before. Mr. Brooks responded that the property was sold three years ago to develop a golf course and three weeks before closing, it was announced that the I-73 corridor was coming through the farm. He stated that in less than 24 hours, the purchaser backed out of the contract. Within two days after the announcement was made that the I-73 route had been changed, there were three contracts to purchase the property. He advised that he selected this contract because he cares about what is best for the community. Supervisor Wray inquired if any soil tests had been conducted. Mr. Brooks stated he did not conduct any soil tests; however some private testing was conducted. Supervisor Wray questioned who applies for a SUP. Ms. Scheid advised that the petitioner can apply for a SUP; however any conditions or proffers on a rezoning have to be agreed to and signed by the property owner. Supervisor Wray questioned if we have this information. Ms. Scheid stated that she believed we do have this information. In response to a further inquiry, Mr. Mahoney also stated that he believed we have this information. He asked Mr. Brooks if he has signed the proffered conditions for the rezoning. Mr. Brooks advisedthat he could not recall if he had signed the proffers. In response to a further inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Mr. Mahoney stated that the owner has to sign the proffered conditions. Mr. Mahoney stated that he thinks this information is in the files; however he does not have it with him. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Mr. Mahoney advised that in order for the proffered 666 August 24, 2004 conditions to be valid, they must be signed by the owner of the property. Mr. Mahoney left the meeting to research the records. Supervisor Wray requested that Ms. Scheid clarify the conditions with respect to the SUP. Ms. Scheid advised that the property, as currently zoned with the proffered condition limiting the density on the 115 acres to the AG3 density, is the only density permitted by right on this property.There will be one (1) house per acre on one portion of the property and one (1) house per 3 acres on another portion of the property. She stated that even though the 115 acres is being rezoned to AR, that portion of the property will retain the one (1) house per 3 acres density. Anything over and above this density must come back through the rezoning process as required by law. Supervisor Wray questioned if this area were to be designated for growth, how it would be categorized in the comprehensive plan which is currently being reviewed. Ms. Scheid responded that if it were to be designated as a growth area, it would be classified as either rural village or development. It is currently designated as rural preserve and the density allowed by right is consistent with the land use designation. If the land use designation were to be changed to development or rural village, Ms. Scheid advised that you would also be looking at changing the zoning on the property to allow a great density of residential units than what is allowed under the current land use designation. In response to a further inquiry from Supervisor Wray, Ms. Scheid confirmed that any rezoning mustcome back to the Board for approval. Supervisor Wray inquired if there is a need for conditions. Ms. Scheid reported that the proffer and the conditions in place are adequate. She advised that the 667 August 24, 2004 only way the density can change is to change the zoning on the property or if public water and sewer is extended to the property, that would also change the density. The density in AR changes based on whether there is private well and septic or public water and sewer. Mr. Hodge clarified that any request for extension of water would go through the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for approval, then to the new Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA). Supervisor McNamara stated that even if water and sewer is extended, the portion of the property being rezoned tonight will not change.The portion of the property that would be subject to change is the AR property. Supervisor Flora asked Ms. Scheid to clarify if the future land use designation on the property changes from rural conservation to development, does this change the zoning on the property. Ms. Scheid responded that it does not. Following discussion regarding the availability of the signed proffer, Mr. Hodge recommended that Mr. Brooks sign a copy of the proffer from the agenda packet. Mr. Brooks came forward and signed the proffer. Supervisor Altizer stated that this is a great opportunity for the citizens of Mt. Pleasant to consider a project that is not an interstate highway or a landfill. He advised that to increase the density, any petitions must come back through the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. He indicated that he has no doubt that if this property is not developed as a golf course there will be at least 175-225 homes on the land with no protection of green space. With this project, he stated that the County 668 August 24, 2004 will have the ability to see that the development proceeds in a manner that citizens in this area can be proud of. Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the rezoning. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:SupervisorsMcNamara,Church, Wray, Altizer, Flora NAYS: None Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the special use permit.
