R-0611 02-4
Mr. Covey advised that in August 1999, Boone, Boone and Loeb, Inc., as
part of the development of Fairway Forest Villas, extended Fairway Estates Drive by
building a new road with a cul-de-sac. As a part of the VDOT requirements to move
forward with the acceptance of this new extension of Fairway Forest Estates Driye, staff

366
June 11, 2002
and (2) abandon and release VDOT from the maintenance of that portion of the cul-de-
sac which is not needed. The developer has already proceeded with demolition of the

the agenda is approyed, it will be deeded over to the adjacent property owner. Staff is
asking that the Board approve the resolution. There was no discussion.

1., First reading of ordinance yacatina and closina as oubUc riaht-
of-way a oortion of cul-de-sac for Fairway Estates Driye
adiacent to Lot 7. Block 2. Section 1. Fairway Forest Estates
Subdiyision. and yacatina a 15 foot oubUc utility easement
across said orooerty. located in the Windsor Hills Maaisterial
District. (Arnold Coyey. Director of Community DeyeloDment.
Mr. Covey advised that this is the second part of the resolution which was
adopted earlier. He explained that in order to abandon or vacate any portion of a public
right-of-way, the Board has to adopt an ordinance. Staff is asking for the Board to
vacate that portion of the cul-de-sac that is not needed and also to vacate the public
utility easement. He asked that the Board approve the first reading of this ordinance. In
response to Supervisor McNamara's inquiry, Mr. Covey advised that the developer pays
368
June 11, 2002
fees to the County to proceed with the Board reports and for staff time. The developer
also pays for the legal adyertisements and takes care of the plat preparation. There
was no discussion.
Supervisor McNamara moved to approve the first reading and set the
second reading and public hearing for June 25, 2002. The motion carried by the
following recorded vote:

2. First readina of ordinance yacatina and closina an unimDrOyed
and unused oortion of riaht-of-way known as Southern Pines
Driye. Section 5. Southern Pines Subdivision. formerly
Woodland Driye. located in the Caye Sorina Maaisterial
District. (Arnold Coyey. Director of Community Deyelocment )
Mr. Covey advised that this is a subdivision that was platted in Plat Book 2
which dates back many years ago. Southern Pines Drive, north of South Mountain
Drive, has never been developed and is currently heavily wooded. There is no plan to
further develop Southern Pines Drive by extending it north of South Mountain Drive.
Staff is recommending that the Board approve the vacation, subject to the reservation of
June 11,2002
369
a 50-foot sewer, water, drainage, greenway, and public utility easement. He requested
that the Board approve the first reading.
In response to Supervisor McNamara's inquiry about actions like these
creating land-locked parcels, Mr. Covey advised that staff determines that this will not
be the case before they proceed with the abandonment or vacation. There are no land-
locked parcels in this case. He also advised Supervisor McNamara that the
beneficiaries of this action are the adjoining property owners. By state law if their lots
were created as a part of the plat that created the right-of-way, the property would be
divided 50-50 between them.
Supervisor Church moved to approve the first reading and set the second
reading and public hearing for June 25, 2002. The motion carried by the following

June 11, 2002
Maaisterial District. (Arnold Coyey. Director of Community
DeYelooment)
Mr. Covey advised that this is a request by the property owners to remove
some of the encumbrances on their property. Staff has inspected the area and
determined that the 15 foot drainage easement crossing the property is no longer
necessary for proper storm water drainage of the area because there is no discharge of
water from a public street onto the property and no drainage ditch exists. Staff has also
contacted local utility companies and found that there were no objections to the closing
of the 12 foot public utility easement on the property. He recommended that the Board
approve and adopt the first reading of this ordinance. There was no discussion.
Supervisor Church moved to approve the first reading and set the second
reading and public hearing for June 25, 2002. The motion carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Flora, McNamara, Nickens, Church

Blue Ridae Community Services for 381 sauare feet (Suite 207)
of office soace in the Salem Bank & Trust Building at 220 East
Main Street in Salem. (John Chambliss. Assistant
Administrator)
Mr. Chambliss advised that in May, 2001, the Board acquired the office
building known as Salem Bank and Trust Building from East Main Street Properties,
LLC. The building was received subject to numerous leases for office space, one of
which was with Blue Ridge Community Services for space to house the coordinator for
the Community and Policy Management Team which is part of the Comprehensive
Services Act. On July 1, 2001, the Department of Social Services assumed
responsibility for the coordinator but the County did not change the assignment of the
lease at that time. The original lease was established in November 1998 and had five
one-year extensions. Staff is recommending that the assignment be made from Blue
Ridge Community Services to the County's Department of Social Services for the
duration of the lease so that payments and reimbursements can be obtained from the
state. There was no discussion.

of the Roanoke County Charter and Section 15.2-1414.3 of the
Code of Virainia. (Paul Mahoney. County Attorney)
0-061102·5
Mr. Mahoney advised that there has been no change since the first
reading of the ordinance, and that the legal requirements for a public hearing have been
satisfied. In response to Supervisor Church's inquiry, Mr. Mahoney clarified that the
raise is $329 per year. Supervisor Flora commented that in 1972 when he was on the
Board, the salary was $3,000 per year and that the pay has not kept up with rate of
inflation. However, he advised that when you look at a 2.5% increase, it gives you an
understanding of how citizens feel who are in the lower salary ranges. There were no
citizens present to speak on this item.
