Board Of Su~ervisors Hearing on Sanderson Drive Rezoning on October 22, 2024
My name is Dale Brown, and I live at 430 Stoneledge Drive , 24019 in the Stonegate neighborhood ,
which is off of Sanderson Drive . I am President of Stonegate HOA, Inc . and I am writing this letter on
behalf of the Stonegate HOA, Inc. Board of Directors .
The Density of the proposed new development on Sanderson Drive is a problem. We are opposed to
the rezoning of R3. We feel like this property should be Zoned R-1, which is consistent with the
neighboring developments like Altamira, Sanderson Ridge, Stonegate, The Village at Stonegate , and the
new development on Shadwell Drive which is now called "The Foothills ." All of the homes in these
surrounding neighborhoods are Single Family Homes, not Townhomes. According to the recent study by
*MGT Consulting and released by Roanoke County, we need single Family Homes . Our public schools have
the capacity to support the increased student enrollment in North County.
Stonegate Properties, LLC. has not published size or pricing on the proposed homes , only picture
examples of what could be built there. There are too many Townhouses proposed on this property. If this
development is approved for rezoning by Roanoke County, it should be R-1 and be all single-family
homes.
We believe the Traffic Study (TIA) presented at the Planning Commission Meeting on behalf of
Stonegate Properties is not accu rate. The presented data showed minimal wait time turning onto Shadwell
Drive from Sanderson Drive .
I can tell you that it is not unusual to wait 3-5 minutes to turn right or left onto Shadwell from
Sanderson in the afternoons . The volume of traffic on Shadwell is so heavy that you cannot turn left onto
Shadwell from Sanderson, therefore no one can turn right onto Shadwell from Sanderson. We have traffic
coming up Hollins Road turning onto Shadwell , traffic coming up Shadwell from Route 11 and traffic
coming up Old Mountain Road from Roanoke. A lot of this traffic is then turning onto Sanderson Drive.
The addition of several thousand vehicle trips a day will create gridlock at rush hour in morning and
afternoon at this intersection.
If you consider approving this development, the developer, VDOT and Roanoke County should be
required to add a third lane (right and left turn lane) from Sanderson to Shadwell before this development
is completed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Dale Brown
