AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Amending Chapter 2 of the Code of The County
of Roanoke by Adding a New Article VIII - Disaster and
Emergency Management
SUBMITTED BY: Doug Barber
Sr. Assistant County Attorney
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Amendment of Chapter 2 of the Roanoke County Code to include a new Article VIII -
Disaster and Emergency Management
BACKGROUND:
As required by law, the Board adopted an Emergency Operations Plan ("EOP") in July
2023, which includes an emergency management organizational structure with
associated duties and responsibilities. However, the EOP is not activated until there is
an official declaration of a state of emergency, and until that official declaration, the
organizational structure and duties detailed in the EOP are not explicitly in place.
DISCUSSION:
By adding this proposed Disaster and Emergency Management Article to Chapter 2 of
the County Code, the organizational structure and duties articulated in the EOP will be
permanently implemented. In addition, the new Article will allow for planning and some
emergency management actions to be taken before a state of emergency is declared,
as early as when a "disaster threatens." This Article will thus enhance the County's
ability to prepare for and react to emergency situations.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approve the first reading
of this ordinance and schedule a second reading for May 12, 2026
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and
scheduling the second reading for May 12, 2026. Supervisor Radford seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors owns two parcels on Westmoreland Drive in
Roanoke County. The parcels and undeveloped, and are not used for public purposes.
BACKGROUND:
Roanoke County purchased two adjacent parcels of land: (1) 3319 Westmoreland Drive
(Roanoke County Tax Parcel ID # 077.13-05-31.00-0000) pursuant to Ordinance
#101398-6 and (2) 3323 Westmoreland Drive (Roanoke County Tax Parcel ID # 077.13-
05-30.00-0000) pursuant to Ordinance #090898-9.
The parcels were originally purchased for the public purpose of facilitating an economic
development project which never materialized. The parcels have remained
undeveloped, and are not used for public purposes.
In an effort to explore disposing of the two parcels, Roanoke County staff solicited bids
from the public by advertisement in February 2026. No bids were received for either of
the two parcels.
Page 1 of 2
DISCUSSION:
Roanoke County staff have proposed to transfer the two parcels to the Economic
Development Authority of Roanoke County, Virginia (hereinafter referred to as "the
EDA"). This would allow the EDA's real estate broker to advertise and sell the two
parcels on the private market. If the two parcels are sold, any funds received by the
EDA would be returned to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors.
There has been a change to the draft deed (amended to a quitclaim deed) since the first
reading on April 7, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no costs to Roanoke County to transfer the two parcels to the EDA. If the
parcels are sold by the EDA on the private market, any funds from that sale would be
returned to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, and the Roanoke County Board
of Supervisors would need to appropriate those funds at a later date.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors approve this ordinance.
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the ordinance. Supervisor Radford seconded
the motion. Motion approved.

MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution requesting the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) to accept a portion of Glenmary
Drive (Route 778) into the VDOT Secondary Road System,
Catawba Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Resolution requesting the addition of a portion of Glenmary Drive (Route 778) into the
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Secondary System of State Highways, in
the Catawba Magisterial District.
BACKGROUND:
Roanoke County staff are requesting that the Board of Supervisors approve a resolution
asking VDOT to accept, as described by the attached AM-4.3 (see attachment A), 0.399
mile of Glenmary Drive (Route 778) from the intersection with Corporate Circle (Route
1448) to the end of its cul-de-sac. This portion of Glenmary Drive is located within the
Center for Research and Technology in the Catawba Magisterial District.
This portion of Glenmary Drive and Ion Drive were constructed by Roanoke County
around 2007. Because the adjoining lots were vacant, the roads did not meet VDOT
criteria to be accepted into the Secondary System of Highways. Glenmary Drive was
gated just past Corporate Circle.
The parcel located at 5374 Glenmary Drive, previously known as Lot 4, was rezoned in
2023 to allow Glenmary Drive Roanoke LLC to construct a warehousing and distribution
facility on the property. The facility was constructed in 2024. The property was sold in
Page 1 of 2
2025 to Salem Realty LLC; Frito Realty LLC.
County staff inspected the County-owned portion of Glenmary Drive with VDOT staff in
late 2024 and determined that repairs were needed to bring the roadway up to VDOT
standards. Roanoke County completed repairs in 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The facility located at 5374 Glenmary Drive was occupied on April 1, 2026, and now
meets VDOT trip generation requirements for acceptance into the Secondary System of
State Highways.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item. Once the roadway is
accepted by VDOT, Roanoke County will no longer need to maintain this portion of
Glenmary Drive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached resolution requesting that VDOT
accept a portion of Glenmary Drive into the Secondary System of State Highways.
VOTE:
Supervisor North moved to adopt the resolution. Supervisor Hooker seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION APPROVING A THIRD AMENDMENT TO
THE COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
COUNTY AND G&H CONTRACTING, INC. REGARDING
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE BONSACK FIRE
STATION
SUBMITTED BY: George G. Assaid
Capital Projects Administrator
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Approval of an amendment to the comprehensive agreement between the County and
G&H Contracting, Inc., regarding construction services for the Bonsack Fire Station.
BACKGROUND:
At the County Administrator's direction, a request for proposals pursuant to the Public-
Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) was issued for the
construction of a new County fire station, which will be located at 1465 Mexico Way,
NE, in the City of Roanoke. The fire station shall be known as the Bonsack Fire Station.
Following the receipt of proposals, the Board held a public hearing on October 20, 2022,
to receive citizen comments on such proposals, as required by the County's adopted
PPEA guidelines. After the public hearing and the competitive negotiation process,
County purchasing staff selected G&H Contracting, Inc. (G&H) as the party with whom
to pursue the design and construction of the Bonsack Fire Station.
On February 28, 2023, the Board approved an interim agreement with G&H for pre-
construction services, including site plan design, site permitting review and approvals,
and building design development for the Bonsack Fire Station. Pursuant to the interim
agreement, the County paid G&H $367,950 for the agreed-upon pre-construction
Page 1 of 3
services.
On October 10, 2023, the Board approved a comprehensive agreement with G&H for
construction services, which included site development, building construction, and off-
site stormwater and signalization improvements for the Bonsack Fire Station. Under the
comprehensive agreement, the County paid G&H $8,012,308 for the agreed-upon
construction services.
On December 17, 2024, the Board approved an amendment to the comprehensive
agreement with G&H to design and install a stormwater pump from the detention facility
to an existing on-site drainage ditch. Under the comprehensive agreement, the County
paid G&H $58,213.00 for the agreed-upon design and construction services.
On April 8, 2025, the Board approved an amendment to the comprehensive agreement
with G&H to return unused allowances. Under the comprehensive agreement, G&H
credited the County $7,223.23.
DISCUSSION:
During construction, G&H made concrete slab repairs requiring the County to incur
additional third-party testing expenses. G&H has agreed to a $3,000.00 reduction in the
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to reimburse the County for these costs. The GMP
is decreased to $8,060,297.77.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The associated deductive change order for $3,000.00 will be returned to the project's
contingency.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board, by resolution, approve the amended agreement.
VOTE:
Supervisor North moved to adopt the resolution. Supervisor Hooker seconded the
motion. Motion approved.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Old Orchard Farm, LLC, to rezone
approximately 250 acres from R-1, Low Density Residential
District, and R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR,
Agricultural/Residential District, located at 7015 and 7131
Old Mountain Road, Hollins Magisterial District.
SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to rezone
approximately 250 acres from residential to agricultural.
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines agriculture as "[t]he use of land for the
production of food and fiber, including farming, dairying, pasturage, agriculture,
horticulture, viticulture, and animal and poultry husbandry. A garden and residential
chicken keeping, accessory to a residence, shall not be considered agriculture."
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines a commercial stable as "[t]he boarding,
breeding or raising of horses or ponies not owned by the owner or occupant of the
property or riding of horses by other than the owner or occupant of the property and
their non-paying guests. Included in this definition are riding academies."
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance defines agritourism as "[a]ny activity carried out
on a farm or ranch that allows members of the general public, for recreational,
entertainment, or educational purposes, to view or enjoy rural activities, including
farming, wineries, ranching, historical, cultural, harvest-your-own activities, or natural
Page 1 of 3
activities and attractions. An activity is an agritourism activity whether or not the
participant paid to participate in the activity."
Agriculture, commercial stables, and agritourism are permitted by-right in the AR,
Agricultural/Residential District.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on April 6, 2026. Two
citizens spoke in support of the rezoning request during the public hearing. They
stated: that the Ellermans have enhanced the property since purchasing it; there were
several concerns by neighbors of a residential development on this site and there are
already many subdivisions in the area; supports keeping the property in its natural state;
neighbors had a lot of anxiety when the property was for sale and were against a
residential development on the property; neighbors are happy with what has been done
since the Ellermans purchased the property and are supportive of the rezoning and
keeping the property agricultural.
The Planning Commission discussed: the properties' rural setting; the historic
agricultural uses on the property; the proposed uses by the applicant; community
support for the project and rezoning; topography of the site; properties are rated good
(Tier 3) in the draft Housing Study; housing needs in the County; surrounding zoning
and land uses; and future land use designations.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to rezone approximately 250
acres from R-1 and R-2 to AR.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance to rezone approximately 250 acres from R-1, Low Density Residential
District, and R-2, Medium Density Residential District, to AR, Agricultural/Residential
District.
VOTE:
Supervisor North found that the proposed rezoning request:
Page 2 of 3
1. Is partly consistent with the purpose and intent of the County's adopted
comprehensive plan, and partly inconsistent,
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested.
Supervisor Shepherd seconded the motion. Motion approved.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: April 28, 2026
AGENDA ITEM: The petition of Scott & Heather Thompson to rezone
approximately 44.33 acres from R-1 S, Low Density
Residential District with a special use permit, to AR,
Agricultural/Residential District, located at 3525, 3529,
3499, and 0 Harborwood Road, Catawba Magisterial District.
SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson
Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to rezone
approximately 44.33 acres from residential to agricultural.
BACKGROUND:
This application involves three adjacent parcels. Prior to the comprehensive rezoning in
1992, all three parcels were zoned A-1, Agricultural, District. During the comprehensive
rezoning, the subject parcels were rezoned to R-1, Low Density Residential, District.
In April 2011 the Board of Supervisors approved a special use permit on all three
parcels for a private stable use type with two conditions. The first condition is that no
more than one (1) horse or pony shall be permitted for every two (2) acres of pasture
area, and the second is that a maximum of eight (8) horses shall be permitted with the
private stable.
The applicants are petitioning to rezone their properties from R-1 S to AR in order to
operate agricultural and associated agritourism use types in addition to the existing
uses on the property (single family dwelling, short-term rental, private stable).
Page 1 of 3
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this petition on April 6, 2026. Two
citizens spoke during the public hearing. Their concerns included: existing traffic issues
on Harborwood Road including visibility, speed and the road being backed up if traffic
is re-routed due to accidents on Interstate 81; the marking of any trails so horse riding
would not occur on adjoining properties creating liability issues; the one-lane bridge
entrance into the property being unsafe for drivers; and frustration on the notification
process.
The Planning Commission discussed: property improvements; property entrance;
parking; notification requirements (letters sent and signs posted on the property); riding
trails; comprehensive rezoning in 1992; surrounding agricultural uses and zoning; by-
right uses in R-1; traffic generated by agricultural uses versus residential uses; and the
future land use designation.
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning as proposed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance to rezone approximately 44.33 acres from R-1S, Low Density Residential
District with a special use permit, to AR, Agricultural/Residential District.
VOTE:
Supervisor Hooker found that the proposed rezoning request:
1. Is partly consistent with the purpose and intent of the County's adopted
comprehensive plan, and partly inconsistent,
2. Is good zoning practice, and
3. Will not result in substantial detriment to the community.
Therefore, moved that the Board approve the rezoning request as it has been
requested.
Supervisor Radford seconded the motion. Motion approved.

ISSUE:
Agenda item for public hearing and second reading of an ordinance to amend a special
use permit condition regarding freestanding signage.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, Secure Storage, LLC filed a petition to remove four (4) proffered conditions
affecting this property, and to obtain a special use permit for a mini-warehouse facility.
Through adoption of Ordinance #062221-8, the Board of Supervisors approved the
removal of four (4) proffered conditions and the request for a special use permit for a
mini-warehouse facility.
The approved special use permit included five (5) conditions, one of which requires that,
"freestanding signage shall be limited to one freestanding sign approximately 12 feet in
height and 10 feet in width and shall be in conformance with the concept drawings
provided by Blink Signs dated April 13, 2021".
After the mini-warehouse facility was constructed in August 2025, the facility changed
ownership in November 2025. The applicant, on behalf of the new owner, is proposing
to replace the existing freestanding sign with a new freestanding sign that is not in
Page 1 of 3
conformance with the concept drawings provided by Blink Signs dated April 13, 2021.
Therefore, the applicant is petitioning to amend the special use permit condition
regarding freestanding signage.
DISCUSSION:

citizens spoke during the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the
project, the special use permit condition regarding signage, and that no public
comments have been received on this application.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the special use permit
amending the condition regarding freestanding signage as follows:
d. Freestanding signage shall be limited to one freestanding sign approximately 12
feet in height and 10 feet in width, and shall be in conformance with the concept
drawing provided by Blink Signs dated April 13, 2021 Image National Signs dated
January 15, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the second reading of an
ordinance to amend a special use permit for freestanding signage as follows:

feet in height and 10 feet in width, and shall be in conformance with the concept
drawing provided by Blink Signs dated April 13, 2021Image National Signs dated

that the proposed special use conforms with the standards set forth in article IV,
use and design standards of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance;
2. Is in conformance with the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan; and
