IN RE:
NEW BUSINESS
1. Status of the 75/25 Economic Development Policy
Economic Development Director Tim Gubala presented the
report.
He updated the Board on the policy established in
October 1987 which was developed to raise the residential and
commercial/industrial ratio to 75 percent residential and 25
percent commercial/industrial.
He reported that the present
ratio is 84%-15%.
Reassessments helped raise the level, but
March 28, 1989
61l
projects such as Valleypointe also helped. He advised that there
are several areas needed to improve the economic development
program. They are (1) an uJ?<iated invent:0~Y of buildings and
sites; (2) retention of existing businesses; (3) attracting new
business from outside the community; and (4) encouragement of
tourism and travel.
Supervisor Robers expressed concern at the slight
growth because it will take 80 years to reach the 75/25 goal at
the present level. He felt that specific goals and programs
should be developed. In response to questions, Mr. Gubala
advised that in 1987, the goal of 75/25 was set for the year 2003.
Supervisor Garrett suggested an educational campaign for the
citizens so they understand the need for commercial rezonings.
Mr. Hodge advised they will have a consultant come in
to evaluate the present economic development strategy and bring
it back to the board.
Supervisor Johnson moved to delay action for 60 days
for review and evaluation of the policy by a consultant. The
motion was seconded by Supervisor Robers and carried by the
following recorded vote:

2. Authorization to extend water lines on Williamson
Road
A-32889-1
Utility Director Clifford Craig presented the staff
report. He reported that the Hollins Court development plans
called for water to be provided by bulk water service from City
of Roanoke, but it was discovered that bulk water service was not
required and a connection to the city line could be made. The
developer set the costs of the project and sale of lots upon this
connection, and has requested that the County extend the water
line to the east side of Williamson Road. Staff recommended that
the Board authorize this extension at a cost of $8,0000 to
$12,000 with funding from the Utility Enterprise Fund.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve the staff
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw and
carried by the following recorded vote:

County Code "Erosion and Sediment Control"
A-32889-2
Director of Development and Inspections Arnold Covey
presented the staff report. He explained that these amendments
are either mandated by state law or left as an option for the
local government. They also incorporate title changes due to
reorganization with the County staff. Staff recommended that the
County Attorney prepare the necessary ordinances and legal notice
to amend the ordinance. It is anticipated that between $10,000
and $15,000 will be generated annually by fee increases.
Supervisor McGraw moved to approve the staff
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Johnson
and carried by the following recorded vote:

March 28, 1989
Fire and Rescue Chief presented the report. He advised
that a 35 member volunteer fire company has been formed for the
Back Creek Fire Department and they became involved in the design
of the new building. $300,000 was included in the 1985 bond for
a substation and $253,000 remains. . It is estimated that the
construction costs will now be $306,890, an increase of $53,890.
This includes an additional bay and a second story. Staff
recommended that the board approve the bid of $306,890 with the
additional costs funded from the bond reserve.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve the staff
recommendation. Supervisor Johnson suggested that the motion be
amended to include that the costs not exceed $307,000.

Director of Planning and Zoning Terry Harrington
reported that 60 units are planned for this rezoning, and the
Land Use category for this property is Development which
discourages high density residential (12-24 units per acre). The
proposed development is 20.55 units per acre. The petitioner has
proffered three conditions.
The Planning Commission voted
unanimoulsy to recommend denial because of the density and the
petitioners had not proffered the site plan.
Robert H. Turner, Jr., spoke in opposition to the
rezoning because of the density of the proposed development. He
advised that the matter had not come before the board of
Stonehenge and they had no position on the rezoning.
Robert Bradley and Jim Woltz, the petitioners presented
their plans for the development. They advised that they did not
proffer the concept plan because their wanted to retain

from some of the surrounding residents expressing support for the
project. He showed the board a map with their development and
the surrounding property owners.
They have also discussed the
development with the single family homeowners. He advised that
83 of the 89 people they talked with had signed the petition of
support. The people were aware of the density of the project.
They are also willing to add another proffer to protect a single
family home.
Supervisor Garrett expressed concern about the denial
recommendation of the Planning Commission, and about the density
of the proposed project.
Supervisor Johnson advised that they
could not accept a proffer at the public hearing.
Supervisor Robers asked if the petitioners would be
willing to continue the hearing so that the petitioners could
work on lessening the density.
The petitioners agreed to a 30
day delay.

PUBLIC HEARING AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES
389-7
Petition of The Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors requesting amendments to the
Roanoke County subdivision ordinance by
adopting the Roanoke County on-site sewage
disposal systems and/or wells procedures and
adoption of a resolution adopting a new
section of the Design and Construction
Manual.
Arnold Covey reported that development of subdivisions
in rural areas without public facilities has created complaints
from citizens, realtors and developers who fear contamination to
March 28, 1989
640
existing wells, failing septic system or denial of lots. Because
of these concerns, the staff and Health Department have developed
policies for subdivision approval for on-site sewage disposal
systems and wells to insure the proper development of rural
subdivision.
The Planning Commission met on March 7, 1989 and
recommended approval of the ordinance following revisions
suggested by the Roanoke Valley Homebuilders. The only
suggestions not incorporated was that the staff and Planning
Commission feel that all newly created lots should contain their
own sewage disposal system.
Speaking to this ordinance were the following:
1. Alfred Powell, 3440 Franklin Street spoke in
opposition to Articles II and II in the subdivision ordinance
because of the cost to small private developers for maps, and
surveying and flagging for larger lots.
In response to a question from Supervisor McGraw, Mr.
Covey advised that he felt that the ordinance should apply to
all subdivision lots regardless of size.
2. David Helscher, representing the Roanoke Valley
Homebuilders, advised they were opposed to the drain field
requirements. He suggested that the ordinance be approved for
six to 12 months to see what the problems might be. He reminded
64 1
March 28, 1989
the board members that these requirement add to the cost of a lot
to the citizen.
Mr. Mahoney informed the board that there are two
different actions required: ( 1) adopting the ordinance and (2 )
approval of aa resolution. However, the board may wait to
approve the resolution until the second reading of the ordinance
on April 11.
Supervisor Garrett moved to approve first reading of
the ordinance and delay approval of the resolution until the
second reading. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Johnson
and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Johnson, Robers, McGraw, Garrett
