Petition of Fralin and Waldron. Inc. to amend
proffered conditions on approximately 3.9
acres, to construct an office park in
accordance with a concept plan dated March
28, 1988, located on the north side of Route
419 at the intersection of Chaparral Drive in
the Cave Spring Magisterial District.
Planning Director Terry Harrington presented the staff
report. He advised that the rezoning was originally approved in
1985. The differences between the rezoning approved with
conditions and the actual building include the difference in
height with the original request being for three stories and the
development being built at five stories; the location of the
building is different from that approved on the concept plan and
there is now additional parking. The significant impact factors
include: (1) the topography differs considerable from the 1985
plan because of filling to accommodate the altered location; (2)
there has been additional commercial development along the 419
corridor; (3) the current site plan differs from the proffered
068
~am.{ary .2,) I l:.J:.JU
-
=
site plan which restricted the building to a two story design and
the present building is located differently from the original
plan; (4) there is a difference in the screening and landscaping
due to the height of the building; and (5) there is additional
parking due the additional size of the building.
The Planning Commission moved to deny the petition.
The motion failed on a vote of three to one with one abstention.
The prevalent opinion of the Planning Commission was that the
issue should be viewed as a land use issue and that the petition
conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
Ed Natt, attorney for the Petitioner was present. He
reviewed the history of the rezoning petition and advised that
the site plan was proffered and it now varies in three respects.
The original site was to have two stories above ground and one
story partially above ground. The new site plan with the changes
was approved by Roanoke County, a building permit was issued and
construction was started. When Fralin and Waldron were advised
that the building was too tall, they stopped construction
immediately except for stabilization of a wall. They have now
filed a rezoning petition to amend the original conditions. The
petitioners met with the community and the new conditions include
proffer of the new site plan, and the building will be limited to
three stories and a fourth lower level of finished space, a
reduction of one story. The petitioners felt that a three story
building, as orginally planned in 1985 would not be financially
feasible now. Mr. Natt further announced that 16 foot evergreen
trees on a berm will be used for screening, and parking has been
moved away from the residential area. He reviewed the other
January 23. 1990
069
proffered conditions. The petitioners have also agreed to make
substantial improvements to downstream problems in Murray Run.
Mr. Natt reminded the Board the this rezoning is similar to
others in the 419 corridor, drainage will be improved and
screening exceeds the County's ordinance even though it does not
hide the building.
Mr. Natt reported that this was not an effort by Fralin
and Waldron to "sneak" changes by the neighbors and staff. He
pointed out that the County approved the plans and the rezoning
meets the comprehensive plan and 419 corridor plan.
The following citizens spoke in opposition to the
petition citing violation of the 1985 conditions, property
devaluation, the future integrity of proffered conditions,
increased flooding and traffic, and changes to the Land Use Plan,

Waldron's promise to improve flooding problems from Murray Run.
Mr. Natt asked for time to rebut the comments made by
citizens. He pointed out that this should be addressed as a land
use issue only. They had negotiated with the neighborhood and
provided additional conditions and have reduced the size of the
building. He reviewed the concessions made by Fralin and
Waldron.
Supervisor Robers advised he had met with the
petitioner, the neighborhood, and joint meetings. He moved to
deny the petition.
Supervisor Eddy announced he was a member of the
Planning Commission at the time of the original rezoning and felt
he would not have voted for a five story building at that time.

Mr. Harrington presented the staff report. The
Planning Commission found no significant impact factors and
recommended approval of the rezoning request by a three-two vote,
and recommended denial of the amendment to the Land Use Plan map
designation by a one to four vote. There are three proffered
conditions.
Supervisor Nickens expressed concern about the
accommodation of additional students at William Byrd High School.
Ms. Dorothy Hamrick from Aerospace Research Corporation
was present and read a statement explaining their plans for the
property. They plan to develop 27 one acre or more single family
lots because it would be difficult to develop the property for
commercial use due to lack of water and sewer and the sloping
land. Mr. Jack Carter was also present to answer questions.
Supervisor Nickens advised he felt this rezoning was
incompatible with the land use plan and the area should be
developed with larger acreage because of the terrain. Supervisor
Eddy agreed and was concerned about suburban sprawl and that
Aerospace Research was involved with explosives. Mrs. Hamrick
responded there is no longer explosive research being done and
the lots are located away from the research. Supervisor Johnson
asked the staff to work with the petitioner to find the best
future use for the property and Supervisor McGraw concurred.

Petition of Brambleton storaqe COrDoration to
amend the proffered conditions on a 1.01 acre
tract in accordance with a concept plan dated
November 10, 1989 and to conditionally rezone
a 1.016 acre tract from B-2 to M-l to
construct mini-warehouses located behind 3707
and 3655 Brambleton Avenue in the Windsor
Hills Magisterial District.
Mr. Harrington presented the staff report, advising
that warehouse land uses are discouraged in Core Land Use
categories. other concerns are the site layout, lack of proper
space to load and unload, lack of sufficient parking, and the
;~
slope of the property. The Planning Commission moved to
recommend approval with six proffered conditions which answered
their concerns.
Michael Smeltzer, attorney for the petitioners, pointed
out that the petitioners have attempted to address the concerns
about the usage of the property. They have met with Ken Sharp,
Fire Marshal regarding access for fire and rescue vehicles.
They are asking for the rezoning to match the other piece of
property rezoned in 1985, and have upgraded the conditions.
Supervisor Nickens stated he was concerned about impact
factors that were not addressed in the conditions such as the
interior access, lack of parking, loading and unloading, steep
slopes, and hazardous street access. He felt he could not
support the rezoning petition.
Frank Caldwell, an engineer for the petitioner,
responded that they made adjustments after meeting with the
county staff.
There is rarely more than one car at a mini-
warehouse at one time and there are usually only about 15 car per

regarding those roads referred to by the citizens, Mr. Henry
advised that these roads are not in the Six-Year plan. He
further advised that the roads now in the plan are the same as
those in 1988 and no roads have been added. They have prepared a
list of additional projects that the Board may wish to add, and
the roads mentioned by the citizens are on that list.
Supervisor Eddy reminded the citizens to get their road
requests to their Board members, staff and VDOT before the work
session which will be held on February 13, 1990.
Supervisor Nickens pointed out that the Board has
attempted not to politicize getting roads into the Six-Year Plan
and that they rely on the expertise of the staff and VDOT on the
- prioritization. He advised the citizens that with the limited
funds available, they are not able to address most of the road
problems. In response, Supervisor Eddy pointed out that the
citizens have the right to have input into the process.

Petition of Frank and Mary E. Radford to
appeal the Zoning Administrator's
interpretation of proffers pertaining to the
signage on two parcels:
a. one located at the northeasterly corner of Peters
Creek Road and Woodhaven Drive, Hollins Magisterial
District.
A-12390-l2
Mr. Harrington reported that these rezonings were
approved in 1988 with various conditions proffered. Conditions
included design and total square footage of the signage. The
This issue concerns Mr. Harrington's interpretation of the
proffer that the signage does not meet with the conditions. The
applicants have appealed his decision as Zoning Administrator.
He reviewed the signage conditions on the original rezonings for
both the Woodhaven property and the Route 419 property, advising
that the Woodhaven sign was limited to sixty square feet, while
the Route 419 sign was limited to 30 square feet.

Administrator's interpretation. He advised that they are acting
similar to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Ed Natt, attorney for the petitioners, advised that the
Frank Radford, the petitioner, understood that the signage
conditions on the original rezoning pertained only to the signage
on the site and not to the signage on the building. The Zoning
Administrator's interpretation included total signage on both the
building and the site.
In response to a question from Supervisor Eddy, Mr.
Natt advised that the petitioners could request an amendment to
the proffers or could go to the Board of Zoning Appeals or come
to the Board of Supervisors to override the Zoning
Administrator's decision. They chose this action because of time
constraints.
Supervisor Johnson moved to uphold the Zoning
Administrator's interpretation of the proffer on Woodhaven Drive.
He withdrew his motion to allow Frank Radford, the petitioner, to
speak.
Mr. Radford reported that he never intended that the
signage condition would include signage on the building.
Supervisor Nickens pointed out that both rezonings were opposed
by the residents and the signage requirements were an attempt to
address the residents' concerns.
Supervisor Nickens moved to uphold the Zoning

January 23, 1990
opposition to the "NO LEFT TURNS". He advised his understanding
was that the signs were temporary.
Supervisor Johnson advised that the signs were not
intended to be temporary. He stated that he asked that the signs
be given an opportunity to work. They did discuss with Sheriff
Kavanaugh the possibility of getting decals for those residents
who lived in the neighborhood but were advised that this was
illegal and considered "selective enforcement". He reviewed the
action taken to try to alleviate the cruising in that community,
and advised that the "No Left Turn" signs have helped the
residents in Boxley Hills.
Mr. Blandy advised he would gather petitions in
opposition to the signs.
