C.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia declaring its intention to reimburse expenditures from the proceeds of a financing for costs associated with the new Career and Technical Education Center (CTE) and renovations to Glen Cove and W.E. Cundiff Elementary Schools SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Gearheart Director of Finance and Management Services APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: To adopt a resolution declaring the intent to reimburse expenditures from future bond proceeds BACKGROUND: Renovations to the Glen Cove and W.E. Cundiff Elementary Schools and the construction of a new CTE are projects in the Roanoke County School Board Capital Improvement Plan. On June 15, 2023, the School Board approved receipt of an unsolicited proposal and published notification to accept competing proposals. As negotiations are finalized, any funds that are currently being spent can be reimbursed to the School Board at a later date with bond proceeds, if the County declares its intention to do so before the funds are spent. DISCUSSION: The School Board intends to fund these three (3) projects with a combination of cash reserves and scheduled bond issuances as outlined in the memorandum of understanding on joint capital projects dated April 11, 2023, and also as sho wn on Attachment A. It is the intent to participate in the fiscal year 2024 Virginia Literary Loan Page 2 of 2 Program as well as an issuance in fiscal year 2025 through the Virginia Public School Authority. The attached resolution will allow the School Board to reimburse itself at a later date. This resolution does not authorize the projects or appropriate any funds to the projects at this time; it merely gives the flexibility to include current expenditures in future bond issuances, if the School Board chooses to do so. FISCAL IMPACT: This resolution gives the School Board the option to include expenditures currently being made associated with these projects. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the attached reimbursement resolution for the renovations to the Glen Cove and W.E. Cundiff Elementary Schools and the construction of a new CTE .      !

D.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance 1) accepting funds in the amount of $465,091 from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and appropriating such funds to the County’s grant fund for operation of the CORTRAN program, and 2) reallocating $19,379 from the County’s general fund to the grant fund, for operation of the CORTRAN program SUBMITTED BY: Paula Benke CORTRAN Program Administrator APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Accept and appropriate $465,091of grant funding from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, to be used to offset the monthly cost of the CORTRAN program, and appropriating $19,379 amount of County funds from the CORTRAN budget for the required local match. BACKGROUND: The CORTRAN program was established in 1985 in order to help County residents remain in their homes and independent with curb -to-curb transportation from their homes to destinations within Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke, the City of Salem and the Town of Vinton. The program is currently structured so that Roanoke Coun ty residents are eligible to use the CORTRAN program if they are either 65 years of age or better, or if they have a disability. While Roanoke County funds the program annually, staff started applying for grant funding through the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) for fiscal year 2022 to offset the County's cost of the program. Previous awards include: Page 2 of 2 Fiscal Year Applied for Amount Awarded Amount Local Match 2022 $207,568 $119,008 Urban only $61,334 2023 $613,338 $538,000 Urban and Rural $21,520 DISCUSSION: Staff applied for FTA 5310 funding through DRPT on February 1, 2023.

D.2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance 1) accepting $170,709 from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and appropriating such funds to the County’s grant fund for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for expanded shuttle service to the National Park Service’s McAfee Knob trailhead parking lot, and 2) reappropriating $42,677 of County funds from the general fund to the grant fund for expanded shuttle service to the McAfee Knob trailhead parking lot SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise Assistant Director of Planning APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Accept and appropriate funding to operate the expanded McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle for half of fiscal year 2024 and all of fiscal year 2025. 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 Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) Demonstration Project Assistance grant. Shuttle service meets DRPT 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 will provide a connection to Valley Metro service in the City of Salem. DRPT awarded a Demonstration Project Assistance Grant for the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle in the amount of $97,920 for fiscal year 2023 and part of fiscal year 2024. Service began on September 2, 2022, with 716 reservations and 488 passengers Page 2 of 3 over 37 days of service between Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. Shuttle service resumed on March 3, 2023, and will end on November 26, 2023. Between March and the end of June, service included 453 reservations and 266 riders over 51 days of service. Ridership is expected to increase to and through Peak Leaf Season in October. 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: The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution on January 24, 2023, requesting that the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) fund another Demonstration Project Assistance grant application for expanded shuttle service to the McAfe e Knob Trailhead parking lot. The CTB approved the Six-Year Improvement Program on June 21, 2023, which included $170,709 of state funds for this project for part of fiscal year 2024 and all of fiscal year 2025. The expanded shuttle route is necessary due to the closure of the McAfee Knob Trailhead parking lot for construction of the pedestrian bridge. The following shuttle stops are planned: · 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: City of Salem’s Farmers’ Market with a nearby Valley Metro bus stop · New Stop: VDOT Orange Market Park and Ride · Potential New Stop: Dragon’s Tooth Trailhead in discussion with the U.S. Forest Service Shuttle service will follow the current model which is 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. Page 3 of 3 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 or Federal funds. The estimated net operation costs are $300,901, which could potentially generate a maximum of $240,721 in eighty percent (80%) state funds and $60,180 in twenty percent (20%) local match. In June 2023, the CTB awarded Roanoke County $170,709 in State Demonstration Grant funds for the second half of fiscal year 2024 and all of fiscal year 2025, which is approximately seventy one percent (71%) of the County's request. As a result, the net project cost reimbursable by DRPT is $52,920 in fiscal year 2024 and $117,789 in fiscal year 2025. The local match required is $13,230 in fiscal year 2024 and $29 ,447 in fiscal year 2025. Required matching funds and additional shuttle operating funds are available in the CORTRAN account. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the first reading of the ordinance and schedule the second reading for September 12, 2023. Jennifer B.

Page 1 of 2 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. G.3 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the execution of an amendm ent to the Memorandum of Understanding with Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare and other local government entities governing the Marcus Alert Program for the Roanoke Valley SUBMITTED BY: Mary Beth Nash Senior Assistant County Attorney APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: After execution of the multi-jurisdictional Marcus Alert MOU among local governments, Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare and Frontier Health, a concern arose over whether the terms of the MOU should require the Sheriffs of the City of Roanoke and Roanoke County to provide dedicated staff to carry out the Marcus Alert mandates. BACKGROUND: The General Assembly authorized the Marcus Alert statute in 2020 which requires, among other things, a collaborative relationship between parties for a system of uniform communications and operations of the MARCUS Alert Program while also ensuring that individuals experiencing behavioral health crisis are served by the behavioral health comprehensive crisis service system when feasible. The Marcus Alert legislation was designed as a phased-in program, with the comprehensive response from law enforcement and the local community services board no later than July 1, 2023. DISCUSSION: Removing the requirement for the City of Roanoke and Roanoke County Sheriffs to dedicate staff to the implementation of Marcus Alert will not affect the ability to carry out the mandates of the program. Roanoke County Police and City of Roanoke Police will continue to dedicate staff and provide the requisite law enforcement response for Page 2 of 2 Marcus Alert. The other parties to the Marcus Alert MOU do not object to this Amendment. FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment to Marcus Alert will not have any fiscal impact on the County. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling the second reading for September 12, 2023.

G.4 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Resolution accepting a donation of a flagpole and an American flag from the Woodmen of the World in honor and remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir Director of Development Services APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Acceptance of a donation of a flagpole and an American flag to the Department of Development Services County to be erected at the Roanoke County Stormwater Drainage Service Center at 1204 Kessler Mill Road, Salem, Virginia BACKGROUND: Roanoke County's stormwater drainage staff has been offered a donation of a flagpole and an American flag from the Woodmen of the World to be placed at 1204 Kessler Mill Rd. The value of this donation is estimated at $1,600. The Roanoke County Department of Development Services intends to build a short retaining wall and erect the flagpole adjacent to and in the front of the newly built Roanoke County Stormwater Drainage Service Center. A similar donation occurred on September 11, 2012. On that day, Roanoke Cou nty hosted a ceremonial raising of the donated flag. The Woodmen of the World organization anticipate a ceremonial raising of this donated flag similar to the event which occurred in 2012. DISCUSSION: The Roanoke County Department of Development Services will invest in building a Page 2 of 2 stone retaining wall and utilize the skills of the Roanoke County drainage crew to erect the flagpole. FISCAL IMPACT: The Department of Development Services will supply necessary materials, equipment and labor necessary to have a successful project and successful ceremony. No additional funding is requested. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: County staff recommends acceptance of this donation and scheduling a ceremony on September 11, 2023, in honor and remembrance of the victims o f the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Page 1 of 1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2023 RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A DONATION OF A FLAGPOLE AND AN AMERICAN FLAG FROM THE WOODMEN OF THE WORLD IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF THE VICTIMS OF THE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 TERRORIST ATTACKS WHEREAS, Roanoke County's stormwater drainage staff has been offered a donation of a flagpole and an American flag from the Woodmen of the World to be placed at the Roanoke County Stormwater Drainage Service Center in honor and remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks; and WHEREAS, the value of the donation is estimated at $1,600; and WHEREAS, the Roanoke County Department of Development Services intends to build a short retaining wall and to erect the flagpole and American flag adjacent to and in front of the Roanoke County Stormwater Drainage Service Center; and WHEREAS, County staff recommends approval of the resolution accepting this donation; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, as follows: 1. The Board hereby accepts the donation of the flagpole and the American flag. 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. Page 1 of 4 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. G.5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance vacating a section of an unimproved right-of-way referred to as Britaney Road located in a southeasterly direction of the intersection of Britaney Road (Route 1224) and Setter Road (Route 1221), Hollins Magisterial District SUBMITTED BY: Phil C. North Supervisor APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Roanoke County currently owns a small unimproved right -of-way located in a southeasterly direction of the intersection of Britaney Road and Setter Road, and the County has no plans to use such right-of-way in the future. Hollins Magisterial District Supervisor North has requested that the right-of-way be vacated and disposed of by law. BACKGROUND: Roanoke County owns a small piece of land (6,250 square feet) extending from Britaney Road which is located just off of Challenger Avenue/Route 460 (the “County Property”). The County Property was part of a piece of property that was subdivided in 1979 to create the Huntridge subdivision, and at the time of the subdivision, the small 6,250 square foot piece of land (the “Property”) was dedicated to the County to hold for public use. The County Property was never developed, and was never held out for the public as a right-of-way. It is bordered by two residential properties; one is owned by Misty and Lawrence Otey, and the other is owned by Yi-Jung Liu and Michael Wu. These residential property owners were under the reasonable (but mistaken) impression that the Property was conveyed to them in 1996, and have jointly maintained the Property since that time. The Property is also bordered by a large undeveloped property owned Page 2 of 4 by Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc. The Roanoke County Land Venture Inc. property is zoned for commercial use, with conditions. This is not the first time the Board has considered a vacation of this p ublic right-of-way. On March 22, 1996, Mr. Charles R. Simpson, President of Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc. submitted a written request that Roanoke County vacate the same portion of right-of-way which is the subject of this agenda item. In his letter requesting the vacation in 1996, Mr. Simpson wrote as follows: · "I have discussed this with the property owner of Lot 9 and the purchaser of Lot 1 and both approve this.” · “Our request is that one-half of the property be added to each lot involved.” Mrs. Otey was the property owner of Lot 9 referenced in Mr. Simpson’s 1996 letter. A copy of the letter is attached to this Board Report and also as an exhibit to the proposed ordinance. As a result of the 1996 request from Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc . the Board acted by ordinance in an attempt to vacate this portion of Britaney Road. County records show that County staff received no objections to this previous vacation request. On May 14, 1996, by Ordinance 052896 -19, the Board voted unanimously to ap prove this vacation, but included the following requirement in the ordinance: · The “unimproved section of right of way … referred to as Britany Road, being 50 feet in width and extending approximately 130 feet in length … be, and hereby is, vacated … subject to the following conditions: … The vacated area of land shall be added and combined, by deed or by plat, to the adjoining properties as provided by law and petitioner shall comply with the Roanoke County Subdivision Ordinance, the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable laws, regulations and requirements, including recordation of the necessary documents, in connection with this vacation or subsequent subdivision of the property.” (Emphasis added). Roanoke County Land Venture Inc. never took the necessary steps to satisfy the condition of Ordinance 052896-19 requiring Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc. to add and combine the vacated area of land to the adjoining properties, and to record a deed or plat amongst the Roanoke County Circuit Court land records as such. It is reasonable to conclude, insofar as the vacation was requested by Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc., that this failure to file the required deed or plat was an inadvertent oversight on their part. It is also reasonable to co nclude that the neighboring property owners reasonably relied upon the request by Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc. and the 1996 action by the Board in believing that they were the rightful owners of the subject property that was to be vacated, and also leading them to believe they were rightfully Page 3 of 4 maintaining the subject property since that time. Nonetheless, without the condition requiring Roanoke County Land Venture Inc.’s recordation of the necessary documents to have the subject property combined with the neighboring properties satisfied, Ordinance 052896-19 dated May 14, 1996 is null and void. A copy of that previous ordinance is attached to this Board Report and also as an exhibit to the proposed ordinance. DISCUSSION: Hollins Magisterial District Supervisor North has asked County staff to explore the manner in which this Property could be vacated by the County, which would remove the possibility that the Property would be developed as an extension of the public road in the future. Adjacent landowner Mrs. Otey has reached out to Roanoke County and is in support of this vacation. She is concerned with the prospect of a public road mere feet from her kitchen window, and with the accompanying traffic, in the event the right -of- way is ever developed. Adjacent landowner Roanoke County Land Venture, Inc., despite their prior 1996 request, is not in support of this vacation; they had apparently forgotten of their prior request (and Board approval) that the County vacate this property. Upon information and belief, they may wish to request that the County allow this property to be used to access future development on their parcel. Virginia law dictates that in cases where any lot has been sold (as is the present case), part of a subdivision plat may be vaca ted by ordinance of the Board on motion of one of its members (Virginia Code § 15.2-2272). The recordation of the ordinance shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the recording of the part of the plat so vacated, and to vest fee simple title to the centerline of any streets, alleys or easements for public passage so vacated in the owners of abutting lots free and clear of any rights of the public or other owners of lots shown on the plat, but subject to the rights of the owners of any public utility installations which have been previously erected therein (Virginia Code § 15.2-2274). During the 1996 Board action, County records show that County staff received requests from American Electric Power, Roanoke Gas Company, and the Roanoke County Utili ty Department (which in 1996 was charged with providing water and sewer service to the citizens of Roanoke County prior to the creation of the Western Virginia Water Authority) to retain the right-of-way as a combined public utility easement and a water and sewer easement. The existing 50' unimproved public right-of-way contains a 2" water and gas line. This requires that an easement be retained for future maintenance to include the right to cut, trim, or otherwise control trees or other obstructions near utilities and the right to ingress and egress for maintenance and new construction for any future upgrades. Therefore, Page 4 of 4 County staff recommends that a public utility easement for utilities be reserved. This can be done by recordation of the attached proposed ordinance and the attached "Exhibit A." FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Should the Board approve the first reading of this ordinance, County staff recommend it be scheduled for a second reading and public hearing on September 12, 2023. Should the Board approve the vacation after second reading and a public hearing, County staff proposes that the ordinance provide that fee simple title to the said property vest "as provided for by law."

G.7 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing the execution of an amendm ent to the Economic Development Grant Agreement for fixed, wireless broadband service between Roanoke County and B2X Online, Inc. (B2X) SUBMITTED BY: Bill Hunter Director of Communications and Technology APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: B2X has identified a method by which it can enhance the services to be offered to Roanoke County citizens, therefore the 2022 Agreement needs to be amended to reflect certain changes in the project. BACKGROUND: Virginia Telecommunications Initiative grant was awarded in the spring of 2022 to provide high speed internet to citizens on Bent Mountain in the Windsor Hills District. B2X is currently working to provide fiber broadband service to the Bent Mountain area. DISCUSSION: During this process, B2X has discovered a way to add redundancy and reliability to the network they are installing on Bent and Poor Mountains. As part of the build process, a few opportunities arose that gave B2X the ability to provide more coverage. This is d ue to space becoming available on a site other than the two (2) sites that were originally planned. After some engineering, B2X discovered they could create a redundant ring that would not only increase the bandwidth but would also provide a fail -over system which raises the level of the system performance for our citizens. This new site also has the potential of adding 50 new homes to the overall project. Page 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: An additional $34,131 is needed to complete the work as outlined in the attached amendment. These funds are available within the CommIT Admin/Operations Fund due to personnel and operating savings. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling a second reading for September 12, 2023.

If your request involves one of the items on the ensuing list, we recommend that you meet with a County planner, the County traffic engineer, and/or Virginia Department of Transportation staff to discuss the potential additional traffic related information that may need to be submitted with the application in order to expedite your application process. (Note this list is not inclusive and the County staff and VDOT reserve the right to request a traffic study at any time, as deemed necessary.) High Traffic-Generating Land Uses: Single-family residential subdivisions, Multi-family residential units, or Apartments with more than 75 dwelling units Restaurant (with or without drive-through windows) Gas station/Convenience store/Car wash Retail shop/Shopping center Offices (including: financial institutions, general, medical, etc.) Regional public facilities Educational/Recreational facilities Religious assemblies Hotel/Motel Golf course Hospital/Nursing home/Clinic Industrial site/Factory Day care center Bank Non-specific use requests Road Network Situations: Development adjacent to/with access onto/within 500-ft of intersection of a roadway classified as an arterial road (e.g., Rte 11, 24, 115, 117, 460, 11/460, 220, 221, 419, etc) For new phases or changes to a development where a previously submitted traffic study is more than two (2) years old and/or roadway conditions have changed significantly When required to evaluate access issues Development with ingress/egress on roads planned or scheduled for expansion, widening, improvements, etc. (i.e. on Long Range Transportation Plan, Six-Yr Road Plan, etc.) Development in an area where there is a known existing traffic and/or safety problem Development would potentially negatively impact existing/planned traffic signal(s) Substantial departure from the Community Plan Any site that is expected to generate over one hundred (100) trips during the peak hour of the traffic generator or the peak hour on the adjacent streets, or over seven hundred fifty (750) trips in an average day Effective date: April 19, 2005 1 | P a g e REZONING REQUEST NARRATIVE: Introduction: The purpose of this request is to rezone land and to repeal proffered conditions to allow the Roanoke County School Board to construct a new Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility on the subject property. The overall project consists of five (5) tax parcels along Peters Creek Road and has been previously identified by the School Board as the preferred site for the new CTE facility. The property was purchased by the School Board earlier this year and this project has been identified as one of the top priority projects for Roanoke County. As outlined on “EX-A, Rezoning Plan,” dated July 14, 2023, the property consists of Tax Parcels 027.13-05-03.00 (4.053 ac.), 027.13-05-04.00 (7.000 ac.), 027.13-05-05.00 (5.000 ac.), 027.13-05-06.00 (6.691 ac.), and 027.13-05-37.00 (5.322 ac.). Tax Parcels 027.13-05-03.00 and 027.13-05-04.00 are zoned C-1, which allows for the proposed Educational Facility. Tax Parcel 027.13-05-05.00 is zoned C-1 and has a proffered condition that is proposed to be repealed as part of this request. Tax Parcels 027.13-05- 06.00 and 027.13-05-37.00 are currently zoned Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District (R-3) and are proposed to be rezoned to Low Intensity Commercial District (C-1) to allow for the proposed Educational Facility use and to match the zoning of the rest of the property. It is anticipated that these five parcels will be combined into one larger parcel as part of the development/site plan process. Background: The proposed facility will replace the existing Burton Center for Arts and Technology (BCAT) that is located along Roanoke Boulevard in the City of Salem. BCAT has been located at this site since it was initially started in 1962. The school has expanded over the years and current course offerings include Auto Service Technology, Building Trades, Computer Information Technology, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Cybersecurity, Early Childhood Education, EMT, Game Design, Masonry, Mechatronics, Motorsports, Nursing, and Welding. Students from all of the County high schools have the opportunity to attend classes at BCAT for targeted, hands-on technical and vocational training in the subjects listed above. The location of the new site along the Peters Creek Road corridor will allow for convenient and efficient access to the site for students, parents, and educators, and will move this important facility into Roanoke County. Design: A concept plan showing how the site could be developed is included with this application, titled “EX-B, Conceptual Masterplan” and dated July 14, 2023. The proposed building and site improvements are concentrated on the western side of the property in order to take advantage of the Peters Creek Road access across from Alpine 2 | P a g e Road and to preserve the existing jurisdictional watercourse and appropriate buffers on the eastern side of the site. It should be noted that the majority of the site improvements are shown on property that is already zoned C-1. Primary access for the site will be from the main entry point on Peters Creek Road. A new traffic signal is anticipated at this intersection, subject to VDOT approval. A secondary, emergency-only access point at the end of Burlington Road is shown on the Concept Plan as well. The expectation is that this entrance will be gated. The Concept Plan indicates many things that have been done to help mitigate impacts to adjacent residential properties. There is significant horizontal separation provided between the proposed building and any residential properties. In addition, landscape buffers will be provided along these property boundaries in accordance with the Roanoke County zoning ordinance. These buffers are anticipated to be achieved either by preserving existing vegetation or through planting new Type ‘B’ landscape buffers as required by the Ordinance. The existing high point of the site will be cut down significantly to create the pad for the development of the site, which will also help to reduce the scale of the building in relation to the surrounding properties. The building will still be significantly elevated above Peters Creek Road, creating great visibility for this one-of-a-kind County facility. A new traffic signal is proposed at the intersection of Peters Creek Road, Alpine Road, and the new Site Entrance, subject to VDOT approval. The proposed signal phasing would provide controlled turning movements to and from Peters Creek Road, which will increase safety at this access point while also preserving a high level of functionality for the Peters Creek Road corridor. It should be noted that new traffic impacts from this development will be much less than with a typical commercial development that could otherwise be developed on this site. A traffic impact study has been submitted and is currently under review by VDOT. A copy of this study is included with this request. As shown in the study, the surrounding road network can support the proposed development and the impact to traffic from the proposed development is insignificant. The improvements shown on the Conceptual Masterplan are intentionally designed to accommodate the constraints of the site while balancing the desired aesthetic appearance. There are functional considerations that are necessary to the operation of this type of facility, but they have been designed to be discreet in their location and screened from view for privacy. The project will meet all zoning ordinance requirements including on- site landscaping and dimensional standards. Compatibility with Comprehensive Plan: The four western parcels associated with this project are shown on the Future Land Use Map as Transition and the easternmost parcel (T.M. #027.13-05-37.00) is shown as Development. 3 | P a g e The proposed use is compatible with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding zoning districts and uses. The Comprehensive Plan defines Transition as “a future land use area that encourages orderly development of highway frontage parcels. Transition areas generally serve as developed buffers between highways and nearby or adjacent lower intensity development. Intense retail and highway oriented commercial uses are discouraged in transition areas, which are more suitable for office, institutional and small-scale, coordinated retail uses.” Development is defined as “a future land use area where most new neighborhood development will occur, including large-scale planned developments which mix residential with retail and office uses. Innovation in housing design and environmental sensitivity in site development is a key objective. Clustered developments are encouraged as is the use of greenways and bike and pedestrian trails.” The proposed educational facility is located completely within the Transition area and will provide a natural transition between the commercial corridor of Peters Creek Road and the existing residential uses to the south, east, and west. The institutional use is consistent with the objectives of a Transition property. There are also many C-2 zoned properties located to the east of the property along Peters Creek Road and on the opposite side of South Drive. The proposed rezoning to C-1 will provide a transition from these properties to the more residential areas located to the south of the property. This area has also been identified by Planning staff for multi-modal improvements. A proposed sidewalk is shown on the Conceptual Masterplan along the frontage of Peters Creek Road. This project will further this initiative by installing sidewalk in an area where pedestrian improvements do not currently exist. As indicated above, this project is consistent with the guiding themes outlined in Roanoke County’s Comprehensive Plan and it will also relocate an existing County facility that is currently located in the City of Salem. This project will be developed in accordance with applicable regulations including the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. This essential community facility will serve the County and its residents for years to come. On behalf of the Roanoke County School Board, we request approval of this rezoning application. PROFFERED CONDITION TO BE REPEALED This proffered condition currently affects Tax Parcel 027.13-05-05.00-0000: 1. If Burlington Road is used for access to the subject property, then Burlington Road shall be improved to standards as specified by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Roanoke County Department of Engineering. All improvements shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the first phase of any development on the site.

Introduction Roanoke County is proposing to develop approximately 28 acres of land located at 6305 Peters Creek Road in Roanoke County (see Appendix A for vicinity map). The proposed development consists of a new Career and Technical Education (CTE) Facility. The site is located along the south side of Peters Creek Road. The property is described as Roanoke County Tax Parcels #027.13-05-03.00-0000, #027.13-05-04.00-0000, #027.13-05- 05.00-0000, #027.13-05-06.00-0000, and #027.13-05-37.00-0000. These tax parcels are currently zoned C1, Low Intensity Commercial District, and R3, Medium Density Multi-Family Residential District. The proposed rezoning would revise the entire property to the C1 zoning district to allow for the proposed use. There is currently an existing residence with a driveway and accessory structures located on the property. The remainder of the site is undeveloped. The driveway is a right-in, right-out access onto Peters Creek Road, which will be removed with the proposed development. A new entrance is proposed on Peters Creek Road at the existing median cut at Alpine Drive. This new intersection is proposed as a thru-cut design, which will prohibit through movements from the site entrance and Alpine Road to reduce the number of phases for the intersection and maximize green time for Peters Creek Road traffic. As discussed with VDOT at the pre-scoping meeting, the following intersections will be analyzed to determine how levels of service and queue lengths are impacted by this development: • Peters Creek Road and Airport Road and Archcrest Drive (Signalized) • Peters Creek Road and Alpine Drive and Site Entrance (Proposed Signal) • Peters Creek Road and Barrens Road and South Barrens Road (Signalized) Peters Creek Road, Route 117, is a four-lane, divided roadway that provides access between Brandon Avenue and Williamson Road in Roanoke City and Roanoke County. This road is classified as a minor arterial and the posted speed is 45 mph in front of the site. Three scenarios will be considered: Existing Condition, Background Condition, and Buildout Condition to determine the effects of the proposed development on the levels of service at the study intersections. The proposed development is anticipated to be constructed by the year 2026, which will be the Background and Buildout year for this study. Traffic Study 2 Roanoke County CTE Facility – Roanoke County, VA July 18, 2023 Level of service (LOS) for signalized intersections is evaluated based on control delay per vehicle and the driver’s perception of those conditions. Control delay is the portion of the total delay attributed to the control at the intersection.

This study was undertaken by Balzer and Associates, Inc. to: • determine the total number of vehicle trips generated by the potential development to be added to the adjacent street network; • determine the impacts to level of service and queue lengths at the existing intersections as a result of the proposed development; • and to determine what roadway and intersection improvements are warranted as a result of the proposed development; Traffic Study 3 Roanoke County CTE Facility – Roanoke County, VA July 18, 2023 2. 2023 Existing Conditions The site currently consists of a vacant residence and other various improvements, and the site does not currently generate any traffic. The existing improvements will be removed as part of the proposed development. The existing driveway access to Peters Creek Road opposite Alpine Road will be removed as part of the site development. Available VDOT traffic count data is summarized below. 2021 VDOT Traffic Count Data: Peters Creek Road, Rte. 117 AADT = 19,000 vpd Directional Factor = 0.5601 K Factor = 0.0932 Airport Road, Rte. 118 AADT = 11,000 vpd Directional Factor = 0.5053 K Factor = 0.0936 Alpine Drive, Rte. 1880 AADT = 220 vpd Directional Factor = 0.65 (assumed) K Factor = 0.1 (assumed) Barrens Road, Rte. 1832 (south of Peters Creek Road) AADT = 2,600 vpd Directional Factor = 0.65 (assumed) K Factor = 0.1 (assumed) Barrens Road, Rte. 1832 (north of Peters Creek Road) AADT = 3,500 vpd Directional Factor = 0.6061 K Factor = 0.1063 In addition to the VDOT published traffic count data, manual traffic counts were performed at the study intersections. The counts were performed on Thursday, April 13, 2023 from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM. Based on this information, the AM peak hour for the corridor was determined to be 7:30 – 8:30 AM and the PM peak hour was determined to be 5:00 – 6:00 PM. It should be noted that the PM peak hour for the intersection of Peters Creek Road and Barrens Road was 4:45 – 5:45 PM based on the counts and these volumes were utilized for the study to fully model the busiest time of day for this intersection. This makes the analysis more conservative than utilizing the 5:00 – 6:00 PM volumes for this particular intersection. Traffic Study 4 Roanoke County CTE Facility – Roanoke County, VA July 18, 2023 Based on the data obtained, and in cooperation with VDOT, it was determined that it would not be necessary to define and analyze a mid-day peak hour. All turning and through movements were counted to facilitate analysis of the intersections. The manual traffic count data is provided in Appendix B. Figure 1 graphically depicts the existing peak hour traffic volumes and Figure 2 shows the heavy vehicle percentages obtained from the counts. Existing signal phasing and timing information was provided by VDOT for the existing traffic signals on Peters Creek Road. All existing information was used to create a model of the study intersections in the Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 software to analyze the network. The Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 software was used to analyze delays, level of service, and queue lengths for existing weekday AM and PM peak hours. The existing conditions levels of service, delays, and queue lengths are shown in Table 3. The Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 results are included in Appendix F.

To analyze the future conditions and obtain the projected background traffic volumes, an annual growth factor was applied to the existing traffic volumes. Based on historical VDOT traffic data, this section of Peters Creek Road has not shown any measurable growth in the last several years and has shown a decrease from 2010 traffic data. However, in order to provide a conservative analysis, a 1% growth factor was applied to the existing traffic counts to project traffic from the current year 2023 to the analysis year 2026. Figure 3 graphically depicts the projected background traffic in the year 2026 with the growth rate applied. Peak hour factors were revised to 0.92 where appropriate, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the TOSAM. The Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 software was used to analyze delays, level of service, and queue lengths for Background weekday AM and PM peak hours. The Background condition levels of service, delays, and queue lengths are shown in the LOS and queuing summary tables. The Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 results are included in Appendix F.

Trip Generation Trip generation for new sites is generally completed utilizing the policies and procedures found in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. However, the proposed Career and Technical Education facility is not accurately represented by any of the uses in the ITE Manual. It functions differently from a typical school with students coming and going throughout the day. This facility is being built as a replacement to the existing Burton Center for Arts and Technology. Therefore, 12-hour counts were performed at the existing facility on Thursday, April 13, 2023 to determine typical daily traffic flow in and out of this facility. This information is included in Appendix C. It should be noted that traffic counts were performed on a ‘B-day’ which represents a higher volume of students at the school than on ‘A-days’. There is a morning block of classes from 7:30 – 10:50 AM and an afternoon block of classes from 12:25 – 2:55 PM and this is consistent with the information obtained in the traffic counts. The data that was gathered was analyzed and discussed with Roanoke County Schools personnel to determine whether any adjustments are warranted to project traffic for the new facility. It is anticipated that the new facility could see approximately a 10% increase in students over the current enrollment at the existing Burton facility. There are no changes anticipated to the daily schedule in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the volumes that were generated during the counts were increased by 10% and utilized as the anticipated traffic volumes to be generated by the site. The existing traffic count information is summarized and adjusted site- generated traffic calculations are included in Appendix D. The peak hours along Peters Creek Road were determined to be 7:30 – 8:30 AM and 5:00 – 6:00 PM. Based on the current schedule, it is anticipated that the peak hours for the CTE facility will not overlap with the peak hours for the adjacent street network. However, there were observed some peak times for the school that are relatively close to the peak hours on Peters Creek Road. The peak hours for the school that most closely correlate with the peak hours on the street network are 7:00 – 8:00 AM and 5:30 – 6:30 PM. Due to the possibility of the school schedule being modified in the future and to provide a conservative analysis, these times were utilized as the peak hour traffic for the development. The anticipated peak hour and weekday site-generated traffic is summarized in Table 3 below.

Projected traffic volumes were then distributed throughout the study network for further analysis as described in the next section. Traffic Study 11 Roanoke County CTE Facility – Roanoke County, VA July 18, 2023 5. Site Traffic Distribution and Assignment The distribution of potential site-generated traffic was completed by observing the directional splits from the traffic data and by applying engineering judgement based on knowledge of the proposed use, as well as the surrounding area and traffic patterns. The directional percentages were then applied to the site-generated traffic to determine the projected turning movements at each intersection. All site-generated traffic is anticipated to utilize the proposed entrance at the intersection of Peters Creek Road and Alpine Road. This intersection is proposed as a ‘thru-cut’ design. This design limits signal phases by restricting through movements on the minor street approaches, therefore allowing more green time to be allocated to Peters Creek Road and enhancing traffic flow along this major movement. This design is consistent with current VDOT practices along major corridors. The connection to Burlington Road is anticipated to be gated and utilized only for emergency access. Therefore, this entrance was disregarded when applying site-generated traffic to the surrounding road network. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that 65% of vehicles will access the site from the west, making a right turn into the site and a left turn out of the site. The other 35% of vehicles will access the site from the east, making a left turn into the site and a right turn out of the site. These trips were then allocated to the nearby intersections utilizing engineering judgement. Projected vehicle trips were distributed at each intersection based on existing traffic patterns and engineering judgement. Traffic assignment for the site-generated traffic is shown graphically in Figure 4.

Analysis of Future Conditions With Development The buildout traffic was calculated by adding the 2026 Background traffic (Figure 3) to the site-generated traffic (Figure 4). The buildout traffic for each of the study intersections is shown in Figure 5. The intersections were then modeled and evaluated using the Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 software. Peak hour factors were revised to 0.92 where appropriate, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the TOSAM. The proposed thru-cut signalized intersection at the site entrance was included in this analysis as a fully-actuated signal. Full right and left turn lanes are proposed at this intersection and were included in the model. Protected-permissive left turn movements were utilized for the Peters Creek Road approaches.

The detailed Synchro 11 and SimTraffic 11 reports are included in Appendix F. Traffic Study 18 Roanoke County CTE Facility – Roanoke County, VA July 18, 2023 8. Conclusions Based on the data collected, the assumptions made, and the potential site generated traffic, the recommendations for the roadway network are summarized below: • It is recommended that the new four-leg intersection created by the entrance across from Alpine Drive be signalized to improve safety in this location and to help with peak volumes in and out of the proposed school. The proposed signal is desired by Roanoke County to increase safety at this school entrance location and will also enhance traffic flow into and out of the site. This signal is recommended to be a reduced phase, thru-cut design to allow for left and right turning movements to and from the site and Alpine Road, while maximizing the efficiency of the corridor and minimizing delay for traffic on Peters Creek Road. • The proposed signalized intersection results in minimal delay for the Peters Creek Road corridor. • New full-length right and left turn lanes should be installed along Peters Creek Road to facilitate movements into and out of the site. These turn lanes should be 200’ long with 200’ tapers due to the 45 mph speed limit along Peters Creek Road. Page 1 of 2 ACTION NO. ITEM NO.

G.12 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPE RVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 22, 2023 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting funds in the amount of $1,275,000 from the carbon reduction program, and appropriating such funds to the County’s grant fund for the construction of the Roanoke River Greenway through Explore Park (VDOT UPC 113567) SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise Assistant Director of Planning APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Accept and appropriate $1,275,000 from the Carbon Reduction Program for the Roanoke River Greenway through Explore Park (VDOT UPC 113567) Project. BACKGROUND: The Explore Park greenway segment is proposed to complete the eastern end of the Roanoke River Greenway. The proposed greenway will be approximately 1.5 mile long, ten (10)-feet wide, paved and ADA accessible. The route will parallel the Roanoke River through Explore Park from Rutrough Point to connect to the greenway segment nearing construction across the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority Rutrough Road (closed) landfill. The Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization (RVTPO) designated $3,020,308 in Regional Surface Transportation Program (now Surface Transportation Block Grant) funding for this project in March 2018. Project milestones include: · Project design has reached the 95% stage; · Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority has granted easements for the greenway; and Page 2 of 2 · Environmental permits and approvals have been obtained, and stream mitigation credits are in the process of being purchased. Construction advertisement is anticipated in Fall 2023 with construction anticipated to begin in early 2024. DISCUSSION: Additional Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding in the amount of $1,275,000 was requested in November 2022 due to supply chain issues, inflation and labor shortages which have increased the project cost since the original 2017 estimate. While the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization (RVTPO) approved the additional STBG funding in March 2023, at that same meeting, RVTPO staff announced the availability of new Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funding. It was determined that the additional funding requested for this project fit the requirements for CRP funding well. At the April 27, 2023, RVTPO meeting, CRP funding was awarded to this project and the same amount of STBG funding was removed. There have been no changes since the first reading held on July 25, 2023. FISCAL IMPACT: The $1,275,000 in CRP funding is one hundred percent (100%) Federal and State with no local match required.

Webb Parks Planning and Development Manager APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements at Explore Park on properties owned by the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (Tax Map Numbers 080.00-05-24.00-0000, 080.00-05-26.00-0000, 080.00-05-27.00-0000, 080.00-05-29.00-0000, 080.00-05-30.00-0000, 080.00-05-31.00-0000, 080.00-05- 32.00-0000) for development of the Roanoke River Greenway in the Vinton Magisterial District. BACKGROUND: The Roanoke River Greenway is a proposed 30-mile regional bicycle and pedestrian trail developing through the Roanoke Valley, linking the Cities of Roanoke and Salem, the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke County. The 2018 Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan identifies the Roanoke River Greenway as its number one priority in the region, as shown on the attached map. The greenway will serve as the primary non-motorized transportation facility providing a critical link between the urbanized areas in Virginia’s Blue Ridge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Explore Park. The 2007 Roanoke County Page 2 of 3 Comprehensive Master Plan f or Parks and Facilities identified the development of greenways and trails as a high priority desired by citizens in Roanoke County. Extension of the Roanoke River Greenway is supported in the Explore Park Adventure Plan and the Roanoke County Community Strategic Plan, adopted in 2016 by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. DISCUSSION: Roanoke County is overseeing the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the East Roanoke River Greenway proposed through Explore Park in the Vinton Magisterial District, identified as VDOT UPC No. 113567. This approximately 1.4 -mile section of the greenway will be an 8-10 foot-wide, paved, shared use path proposed south of the Roanoke River. The project is funded with $3,020,308 in Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)/Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funding and $1,275,000 in Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funding. The greenway project is a Locally Administered Project with oversight from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). For federal-aid projects, VDOT is required by the U.S. Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to certify local government compliance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act), as amended, found in Title 42 Chapter 61 of the United States Code and the implementing regulations found in 49 CFR Part 24. The greenway project has been designed by AECOM. Temporary construction and permanent easements are needed for the greenway proposed across the properties owned by the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority. This ordinance authorizes the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements at Explore Park on properties owned by the Virginia Recreational Facilities Autho rity (Tax Map Numbers 080.00-05- 24.00-0000,080.00-05-26.00-0000,080.00-05-27.00-0000,080.00-05-29.00- 0000,080.00-05-30.00-0000, 080.00-05-31.00-0000, 080.00-05-32.00-0000) for development of the Roanoke River Greenway in the Vinton Magisterial District. On June 29, 2023, representatives from the Roanoke County Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism presented a request to the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority Board of Directors for donation of the permanent and temporary easements needed for the greenway. The Board of Directors agreed unanimously to the donation and conveyance of temporary construction easements in the amount of 4.590 acres (199,950 square feet), a permanent greenway easement in the amount of 4.957 acres (215,944 square feet), and a permanent drainage easement in the amount of 0.927 acres (40,363 square feet), as shown on a sealed plat prepared by H & B Surveying and Mapping, LLC dated May 31, 2023. A deed of easement with red line revisions requested by the VRFA and the seale d plats are attached to the board report. Page 3 of 3 There have been no changes since the first reading of this ordinance on July 25, 2023. FISCAL IMPACT: The Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority is donating the temporary and permanent easements to Roanoke County, so there are no costs associated with the purchase of these easements. The project is funded with Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)/Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) and Carbon Reduction Program funding. Both programs provide one hundred percent (100%) federal and state reimbursement of eligible project expenses, requiring no local match. Roanoke County will be responsible for the construction and future maintenance of the greenway. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.

DISCUSSION: In an attempt to collect the monetary losses incurred by Roanoke County for this event, the Roanoke County Attorney's Office initiated a civil suit on behalf of the County against the three (3) individual protesters. Counsel for the three (3) individ ual protesters has proposed a settlement of the civil suit with an agreement by the protesters to pay for the cost of the tow service incurred on June 30, 2021 ($510). MVP, LLC has offered to reimburse the County for any additional expenses possible (above the normal salaries of law enforcement officers - which is disallowed by law), in order to relieve the County of the additional financial burden incurred in responding to this event Page 2 of 2 ($10,538.59).
