MEETING DATE: January 24, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution requesting the Commonwealth Transportation
Board fund a Demonstration Project Assistance grant in
fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for shuttle service to the National
Park Service's McAfee Knob Trailhead Parking Lot, Catawba
Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) requires a local
match commitment from the Board of Supervisors in order to apply for a Demonstration
Project Assistance grant.
BACKGROUND:
Shuttle service to the McAfee Knob trailhead parking lot from the Interstate 81 Exit 140
Park and Ride is again eligible as a New Service project for a DRPT Demonstration
Project Assistance grant. The Demonstration Proje ct Assistance grant program exists
to incentivize the implementation of new transit services and test innovative and non -
traditional public transportation solutions by reducing the financial risks assumed at the
local level. The proposed shuttle service meets the New Service goals by offering a
creative approach in determining a new travel market for public transportation, as well
as by improving the utilization and productivity of an existing public transportation
service with a connection to the Smart Way and Virginia Breeze bus routes at the I-81
Exit 140 Park and Ride. The proposed expansion in 2024 is anticipated to provide a
connection to Valley Metro service in the City of Salem.
The net project cost is eligible for up to 80 percent (80%) reimbursem ent by grant funds
and the applicant must provide up to 20 percent (20%) match from non -State or Federal
Page 2 of 3
funds. The application is due by February 1 and, if awarded, funding is available on
July 1, 2023.
DRPT awarded a Demonstration Project Assistance Grant for the McAfee Knob
Trailhead Shuttle in 2022. Service began on September 2, 2022, and was successful
with 716 reservations and 488 passengers over 37 days of service between Labor Day
weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. Shuttle service will resume on March 3, 2023,
and will end on November 26, 2023.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) obtained funding in 2017 to design
and construct a pedestrian bridge to carry the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT)
over Route 311. Bridge construction is anticipated in early 2024 and will result in
complete closure of the existing McAfee Knob Trailhead parking lot for approximately
nine months.
DISCUSSION:
County staff have been collaborating with a variety of stakeholders to determine an
expanded model for shuttle service in 2024 when the existing McAfee Knob Trailhead
parking lot will be closed for construction. The resulting shuttle route is anticipated to
include the following stops:
· Current Stop: Interstate 81 Exit 140 Park and Ride
· Current Stop: McAfee Knob Trailhead
· New Stop: City of Salem’s Longwood Park with a nearby Valley Metro bus stop
· New Stop: VDOT Orange Market Park and Ride
· New Stop: Dragon’s Tooth Trailhead
· Potential/Optional New Stop: City of Salem Farmers’ Market
Shuttle service is proposed to follow the current shuttle model based upon McAfee
Knob Trail hiker counts:
· During construction in 2024: March 1 through December 1 with 1.5 vehicles
· After construction in 2025: March 7 through June 29 with one vehicle
· Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays
· 12 hours per day, adjusting hours for daylight and Daylight Savings Time
The shuttle fare will remain $5 per one-way trip, plus processing fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The net project cost is eligible for up to eighty percent (80%) reimbursement by grant
funds and the applicant must provide up to twenty percent (20%) match from non -State
Page 3 of 3
or Federal funds.
The anticipated net project cost reimbursable by DRPT is estimated to be $78,232 in
fiscal year 2024 and $162,489 in fiscal year 2025.
The anticipated local match required is estimated to be $19,558 in fiscal year 2024 and
$40,622 in fiscal year 2025. Required matching funds will be included in the County
Administrator's budget proposal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the resolution.

DATE: June 17, 2022
TO: Division Superintendents
FROM: Jillian Balow, Superintendent of Public Instruction
SUBJECT: 2022-2023 School Security Equipment Grants Program Application
The Virginia Public School Authority closed on the issuance of $12.0 million in Notes (i.e., a
five-year bond) to fund the School Security Equipment Grants program for the 2022-2023
school year on May 24, 2022.
The 2022-2023 school year grants will be awarded on a competitive basis and school divisions
are eligible to receive grant awards up to $250,000. In order to apply for these funds, grant
applications must be submitted to the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) by August 1,
2022. The grant application is accessed through the VDOE's Single Sign-On for Web-based
Systems (SSWS) portal under the Security Equipment Grant Management (SEGM) application.
The guidelines and the application process for this grant can be found on the Security
Equipment Grants webpage. School divisions will be notified of the 2022-2023 grant awards as
soon as they are determined. School divisions must purchase the funded security equipment,
which may include equipment for school buses, building modifications and fixtures such as
security vestibules, within six months of the notification of the grant award or by March 1,
2023. Grant funds will be provided on a reimbursement basis only.
In order to support the installation of school security equipment during the summer months
and to expedite the spend-down of these Notes funds, school divisions and regional programs
may apply for grants to reimburse school security equipment expenditures beginning on or
#124-22
Page 2
after May 24, 2022. Such projects must otherwise meet all existing program guidelines,
application criteria, and only approved projects will be reimbursed.
Eligibility Requirements
School divisions are required to use these funds to purchase security equipment that will be
used in school buildings or school buses and any related equipment installation costs in the
eligible school buildings or buses. The grants cannot be used to pay for security equipment
that is not included or described in the grant application or for extended equipment
warranties or service contract agreements. The school building must be scheduled to remain
open for at least five more years and there are no planned renovations/additions scheduled
for the next five years that would cause the security equipment being requested to become
obsolete.
Local Match Requirement
In order for a school division to receive a grant, a local match of 25 percent of the grant
amount is required. The Superintendent of Public Instruction is authorized to reduce the local
match for school divisions with a composite index of local ability-to-pay less than 0.2000,
including any such school division participating in a regional vocational center, special
education center, alternative education center, or academic year Governor's School. The
Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind is exempt from the match requirement.
Reimbursement Process
A reimbursement form contained in the SEGM application must be completed and submitted
with documentation showing the school name, purchases made, and total cost of the
qualifying equipment purchased for which reimbursement is being requested. The completed
form must be submitted to the Virginia Department of Education, Office of Support Services,
for approval. Awarded grant funds will be maintained and disbursed from accounts
administered by the State Non-Arbitrage Program (SNAP) under the Virginia Public School
Authority.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting and appropriating Federal L ands
Access Program funds in the amount of $800,000 from the
Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division of the U.S.
Department of Transportation Federal Highway
Administration for the Roanoke River Greenway from the
Blue Ridge Parkway to Explore Park, Vinton Magisterial

SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate supplemental Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funds in
the amount of $800,000 from the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) of
the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for extension of
the Roanoke River Greenway from the Blue Ridge Parkway to Explore Park.
BACKGROUND:
The FLAP was created by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-
21), continued in the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 and
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) of 2022 to improve state and local transportation
facilities that provide access to and through federal lands.
The Roanoke River Greenway is envisioned as the backbone of the Roanoke Valley
greenway system and has been designated as the top greenway priority by the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission in the 1995, 2007 and 2018 Roanoke Valley
Greenway Plans, all adopted by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. The
Roanoke County 2016 Community Strategic Plan also identifies greenways as a high
priority strategic initiative for supporting a multi-modal transportation network and
Page 2 of 3
keeping Roanoke County healthy, clean, and beautiful. The 2022 County of Roanoke
Strategic Planning document supports continuing construction of the Roanoke River
Greenway in the Outdoor Recreation Strategic Target Outcome Area.
The Roanoke River Greenway is currently and will continue to be designed as a ten -
foot-wide paved path meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The
100 percent approved design plans for this project include an approximately 1.8 mile
section of the greenway from the 3400 block of Highland Road near the intersection
with Rutrough Road, through property owned by the Roanoke Valley Resource
Authority (RVRA), connecting to a Federal overlook, passing underneath the Roanoke
River Parkway, crossing properties owned by the National Park Service and ending at
Explore Park. A trailhead parking lot is proposed to be constructed at 3404 Rutrough
Road with access on Rutrough Road.
The timeline for this project is as follows:
· April 2015: Roanoke County submitted a FLAP application requesting funding to
construct a segment of the Roanoke River Greenway between the Blue Ridge
Parkway and Explore Park;
· July 2016: The EFLHD awarded Roanoke County $1,733,750 (inclusive of local
match);
· February 28, 2017: The Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated funding for
the project;
· June 6, 2017: FLAP Project Memorandum of Agreement was executed between
VDOT, EFLHD and Roanoke County;
· January 2018: The Preliminary Engineering phase began;
· February 26, 2020: The RVRA Board of Directors approved the donation of
temporary and permanent easements for the greenway;
· September 2020: Roanoke County conducted public outreach to property owners in
the vicinity of the project to share the Categorical Exclusion, 90 percent pl ans, maps
and other project materials;
· October 1, 2020: The Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (VRFA) Board of
Directors approved the donation of temporary and permanent easements needed in
Explore Park;
· February 9, 2021: The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors accepted the donated
easements from the RVRA and VRFA;
· May 2, 2022: Roanoke County requested supplemental FLAP funding due to an
updated project estimate identifying the need for additional construction funding;
· October 13, 2022: A General Agreement was executed between the National Park
Service Blue Ridge Parkway and the County of Roanoke, Virginia, concerning the
Roanoke River Greenway; and
· November 17, 2022: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) certified all
right-of-way obtained by Roanoke County.
Page 3 of 3
DISCUSSION:
The EFLHD of the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration
awarded Roanoke County supplemental funding in the amount of $1,000,000 (inclusive
of local matching funds) from the FLAP in November 2022. VDOT has provided an
updated Appendix A agreement which reflects this supplemental funding. Once the
Board of Supervisors accepts and appropriates the additional funding, the Appendix A
can be executed with VDOT. Project design is concluding and construction
advertisement is anticipated by May 29, 2023. Staff plan to advertise and construct this
greenway segment with the adjacent greenway segment to the north along Highland
Road that crosses under the Blue Ridge Parkway.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on January 10, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Federal share of the funding is eighty percent (80%) or $800,000. A local match of
twenty percent (20%) or $200,000 is included in the proposed fiscal year 2024 Capital
Improvement Program.
Previous FLAP funding in the amount of $1,733,750 was accepted and appropriated by
the Board of Supervisors on February 28, 2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept and appropriate the
supplemental FLAP funding award and approve the ordinance in the amount of
$800,000 from the EFLHD.

for this project in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 ($458,258 including the match), and in
fiscal years 2021 and 2022 ($250,000 including the match).
The TA Set-Aside funds on the project total $636,720. The Local Match funds on the
project total $159,181. Additional local funds on the project reflect the difference
between the most recent construction estimate and the available funding for the project.
Depending upon construction bids received, this funding may or may not be needed for
the project. Aggregate allocations on the project total $825,900.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: January 24, 2023
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting $350,000 from the Virginia Department
of Environmental Quality and appropriating such funds,
along with a $350,000 local match, for Phase 2 of the steam
Restoration of Wolf Creek, Vinton Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept a SLAF grant in the amount of $700,000 from DEQ and allocate $700,000 for
the Stream Restoration of Wolf Creek, Phase 2
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke River is impaired by excessive sediment. R oanoke County has an
obligation under its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit to reduce
discharges of sediment to the Roanoke River in order to meet its Waste Load
Allocation.
We have previously made stream improvements on Wolf Creek in Goode Park. In order
to continue to make improvements to Wolf Creek, staff applied for a stormwater local
assistance fund (SLAF) grant from the Virginia State Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) to construct another stream restoration project on Wolf Creek between
Spring Grove Drive and Tulip Lane.
DISCUSSION:
Phase 2 of the Wolf Creek Stream Restoration project was selected by DEQ for a grant
in the amount of $350,000 with a local match of $350,000 for a total grant of $700,000.
This project will lower sediment discharge to the Roanoke River and will mitigate the
Page 2 of 2
severe stream bank erosion that is causing damage to the park and adjacent Wolf
Creek Greenway.
There have been no changes since the first reading held on January 10, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated project cost is $700,000, excluding staff time for administration. The
SLAF grant in the amount of $350,000 requires a fifty percent (50%) local match. The
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)- Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4-best management practice (BMP) Construction program funds,
which are appropriated as a part of the Capital Improvement Program, will be used for
the required fifty percent (50%) local match in the amount of $350,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends accepting the grant from the DEQ and using the NPDES -MS4 BMP
Construction program funds for the required local match for the Stream Restoration of
Wolf Creek, Phase 2 and approving the attached ordinance.

ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of ordinance for a special use
permit for a short-term rental in a residential district.
BACKGROUND:
· The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a short-term rental as “the

DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application on January 3, 2022.
No citizens spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission and the
Page 2 of 2

Request: Obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental on approximately 0.16
acre on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Greg and Amanda Speiran are petitioning to obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental on
approximately 0.16 acre on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, located at 3113 Fleetwood Avenue
in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District. The short-term rental is proposed for the entire single-family dwelling.
The 2005 Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of this parcel is
Neighborhood Conservation. Neighborhood Conservation is a future land use area where established single-family
neighborhoods are delineated and the conservation of the existing development pattern is encouraged. The
proposed special use permit is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation future land use designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a short-term rental as “the provision of a room or space that
is suitable or intended for occupancy for dwelling, sleeping, or lodging purposes, for a period of fewer than
30 consecutive days, in exchange for a charge for the occupancy. This use does not include existing uses
defined in this ordinance including bed and breakfast, bed and breakfast inn, boarding house, country inn,
and hotel/motel/motor lodge.” Section 30-85-24.55 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance contains the
following use and design standards for short-term rentals:
(A) General Standards:
1. The applicant shall obtain a zoning permit prior to the occupation of a room or dwelling for short-
term rental. The zoning permit application shall include, but not be limited to, the following
information:
a. All relevant parcel information including tax map number, zoning district, address, and
magisterial district.
b. The applicant’s name, address, and personal contact information.
c. The name, address, and personal contact information of the authorized party responsible
for resolving complaints, if different from the applicant.
2. The County shall be notified within thirty (30) days of any change in the applicant’s address or
of the authorized party responsible for resolving complaints.
3. A short-term rental zoning permit expires upon any change in ownership of the property.
4. A short-term rental zoning permit may be revoked by the Zoning Administrator due to the failure of
the applicant to comply with all applicable regulations set forth in this section or elsewhere in the
Zoning Ordinance or County Code.
(B) In the R-1 and R-2 zoning district, the following standard shall apply:
1. A special use permit shall be required on lots less than five (5) acres. Lots that are five (5) acres or
greater in size, a short-term rental shall be considered a use permitted by right.
Since the property for this proposed short-term rental is zoned R-1 and is not five (5) acres or greater, a
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background – This property contains a single-family residence. The Roanoke County assessment records
have estimated that this residence was built in 1956. Greg and Amanda Speiran purchased the property in
October 2022, and have been renting the house in the traditional, long-term sense since then.

the property is a grass lawn, aside from the house, driveway, front footpath, and a small patio in the rear.
residential, with single-family homes. Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church is located approximately 250 feet
to the northeast on Red Rock Road. Brambleton Avenue is located one block to the south of Fleetwood
Avenue, and many commercial and office uses are located on Brambleton Avenue.
3.ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture – There are no proposed changes to the site. The first floor of the house has a
finished floor area of approximately 1,100 square feet, which includes three (3) bedrooms, one (1)
bathroom, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen. The house also has an unfinished basement, which
includes a laundry area and a 1-car garage.
Avenue. This driveway has room for two vehicles. On-street parking is also available in front of the property
on Fleetwood Avenue, which could accommodate two (2) vehicles.
Adjoining Properties – Approximately 43 letters were mailed out to adjoining property owners and residents.
The letters contained the application information, hearing dates, and aerial map along with direct contact
information for staff and instructions for how to submit comments for the public hearings.
Agencies Comments: The following agencies provided comments on this application:
Office of Building Safety – No comments.
Roanoke County Transportation – No comments.
Fire and Rescue – Fire and Rescue does not object to this project and it will not increase the
services provided.
General Services – General Services does not see any issue with this application and has no
comments.
Western Virginia Water Authority – No comments.
Stormwater Operations – No comments.
VDOT – It appears from the information provided that allowing special use for a short-term rental at
this property will not adversely impact the VDOT right-of-way. Any future expansions or
redevelopment of the parcel or alteration to the existing drive may require VDOT review, approval,
and permitting.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The 2005 Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan indicates the Future Land Use Designation of this parcel is
Neighborhood Conservation. Neighborhood Conservation is a future land use area where established
single-family neighborhoods are delineated and the conservation of the existing development pattern is
encouraged. The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation future
land use designation.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
Greg and Amanda Speiran are petitioning to obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental on
approximately 0.16 acre on property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District, located at 3113 Fleetwood
Avenue, Windsor Hills Magisterial District. The short-term rental is proposed for the entire single-family
dwelling. The proposed special use permit is consistent with the Neighborhood Conservation future land use
designation. Staff suggests limiting the number of overnight guests to six (6) people.

lcoNCEPTPLANCHECKLIST
A concept plan of the proposed project must be submitted with the application. The concept plan shall graphically depict the
land use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Further, the plan shall address any potential land use or
design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the
future use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County
permitting regulations.
The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plot plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building
permit. Site plan and building permit procedures ensure compliance with State and County development regulations and may
require changes to the initial concept plan. Unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed
on a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other
regulations.
A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver, community plan (15.2-2232) review and variance
applications. The plan should be prepared by a professional site planner. The level of detail may vary, depending on the
nature of the request. The County Planning Division staff may exempt some of the items or suggest the addition of extra
items, but the following are considered minimum:
ALL APPLICANTS
a. Applicant name and name of development
b. Date, scale and north arrow
c. Lot size in acres or square feet and dimensions

SEC. 30-41. R-1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
Sec. 30-41-1. Purpose.
(A) The R-1, low density residential district is established for areas of the county within the urban service area
with existing low-middle density residential development, with an average density of from one (1) to three
(3) units per acre, and land which appears appropriate for such development. These areas are generally
consistent with the neighborhood conservation land use category as recommended in the comprehensive
plan. In addition, where surrounding development and the level of public services warrant, these areas
coincide with the development category recommended in the plan. This district is intended to provide the
highest degree of protection from potentially incompatible uses and residential development of a
significantly different density, size, or scale, in order to maintain the health, safety, appearance and overall
quality of life of existing and future neighborhoods. In addition to single-family residences, only uses of a
community nature which are generally deemed compatible are permitted in this district. This would include
parks and playgrounds, schools and other similar neighborhood activities.

Neighborhood Conservation: A future land use area where established single-family
neighborhoods are delineated and the conservation of the existing development pattern is
encouraged.
Land Use Types: Single-Family Residential - Attached and detached housing at a reasonable
density that is not significantly higher than the existing neighborhood.
Infill lots or community re-development should be designed to be sensitive
to the surrounding neighborhood but can be at reasonably higher density.
New single-family residential developments should incorporate greenways
and bike and pedestrian trails. Cluster developments are encouraged.
Neighborhood Institutional Centers - Uses that serve the neighborhood
residents including parks, schools, religious assembly facilities,
recreational and park facilities, community meeting areas and clubs. These
facilities should be linked to the residential areas by greenways, bike trails
and pedestrian paths.
Neighborhood Commercial - Low impact services to serve the local
neighborhood that are consistent with the Community Plan design
guidelines.
Land Use Determinants: EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN - Locations where limited
density residential subdivisions have been platted and developed.
EXISTING ZONING - Locations where limited density residential
zoning has been established.
EXPANSION AREAS - Locations where the expansion of the
existing development pattern is logical.
INFILL DEVELOPMENT - Locations where infill areas
complement the surrounding development pattern.
ACCESS - Locations served by a local street system.
URBAN SECTOR - Locations served by urban services.
