I IN RE: PUBLIC HEARINGS APPLICATION OF ROBERT W. AND LINDA D. KELLEY FOR A * HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT TO ALLOW OPERATION OF A * BEAUTY SHOP IN THEIR HOME AT 1038 STARMOUNT AVENUE * CONTINUED N.W. IN THE CATAWBA MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT. * Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were present for this public hearing. Super- visor Myers asked if the shop was to be operated in their basement and whether they had a building permit to finish the basement and install their pool and whether a final electrical inspection had been made. Supervisor Myers said he had been advised by the Building Inspector that inspections were not allowed to be made. Mr. Kelley said he had finished the basement without getting a building permit for that work or installation of the pool. Chairman Burton asked how much time would be spent in the shop. I Mrs. Kelley replied it would be three days --. Uednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Chairman Burton then said that beauty shop operators had told her there is plenty of part-time work available. Mrs. Kelley replied that she has a young daughter, her husband is going on the night shift, and that she wants to be able to stay at home with her dau8hter and continue to - lll.....lL ~ 8-24-82 100 contribute to the family income. This would not be possible in a commercial shop because she has no choice of hours. Supervisor Johnson said she didn't know shops stayed open at night and asked Mrs. Kelley if she couldn't I arrange to have daylight hours. Supervisor Minter asked about shops currently operating in the County and whether they have to have bathroom facilities. Supervisor Johnson asked if home shops must meet health standards. Chairman Burton asked for a motion to deviate from the prepared agenda to go to a report prepared by Claude G. Lee, Zoning Administrator, on the differences between commercial beauty shops and home-occupation beauty shops. Supervisor Johnson so moved and the motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. Mr. Lee advised that his report was prepared at the direction of the Supervisors on August 10. He read aloud the differences in rates for water and sewer service; Supervisor Johnson asked about inspections. He replied that the only "health" inspections are made by the State and are I usually only for licensing. Chairman Burton commented that there was a significant cost advantage to home-occupation shops. Mr. Lee agreed and said these differences include other kinds of home occupations vs. commercial. Supervisor Myers asked if Mr. Lee considered the County ordinances vague on home occupations. He agreed, but advised that a report prepared by the American Society of Planning Officials and entitled "Report on Planning for Home Occupations" indicated that these are very difficult to control. Copies of the County's home-occupation ordinance were distributed to the Supervisors. Chairman Burton said she was concerned for the people engaged in full-time businesses and paying licenses and fees which put them at a competetive disadvantage. She felt the County should protect those in business and had reservations about the County's current procedure and I suggested stricter guidelines. Supervisor Minter asked the County Attorney if there was any legal rationale for the differences between commercial and home occupations. The Attorney replied that to answer this, he needed to address the purposes of home occupations and why the Supervisors grant permits. He said he did not believe it was intend@ to allow commercial enterprise in homes; he said the basis for granting a home occupation permit should be a demonstrable hardship. Chairman Burton asked what is a i- I I I I I~ ~ 8-24-82 101 . . . hardship. The Attorney suggested someone very seve~ly handicapped or a person who had been doing something in the home for which there was no real . 'I commercial demand or a person who cannot get to the marketplace to ply his Supervisor Nickens said that given the current ordinance, which I trade. specifies that home occupations are to be incidental to the residential use of the property, he did not feel the requests before the Supervisors tonight could be denied. Chairman Burton asked for further discussion. Supervisor Johnson moved that the home occupation ordinance be studied, strengthened, and specifics added which would put teeth into it. Supervisor Minter amended her motion by moving that the ordinance should be amended to encompass safety and health. The amended motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. The next speaker was Mr. Mike Bailey, who identified himself as a resident of northwest County on Lula Avenue. He said the community residents and future residents have a right to know their homes will remain residential and that the area won't become a business area, that granting this permit could be an opening for other businesses to come into the I community. lie also said he was against any business coming into a residentia area, unless in the case of hardship, because of traffic safety. Ann Bailey was present in opposition. She advised she owns a beauty shop on Peters Creek Road and lives at 7514 Deer Branch Road. She then read a prepared statement. She reminded the Supervisors that she was present at their last meeting and was reiterating the concerns she expressed then. She also said Mrs. Kelley was already doing business and had been for some time. Mrs. Bailey asked if home-operated businesses go before a zoning board; she was told they do not. She then asked if the Kelley property is not rezoned, why is the Kelleys' business different from the property Mrs. Bailey had to have rezoned; Mrs. Bailey felt it right to rezone for a Timothy W. Gubala asked for how long home--operated businesses are given I ho~e business just as a commercial establishment is rezoned. County Planner permits; he replied it was for two years and that this was standard practice. He was then asked what happened at the end of the two years. Supervisor Johnson replied that the matter caTIe back to the Supervisors for review. Zoning Administrator Claude G. Lee reminded the Supervisors that the County -- Code had been changed and that home occupation permits can be ~I 8-2Lf-82 102 -- administratively renewed instead of coming to the Board of Supervisors. Mrs. Bailey's next question was, if a business is dropped, does anyone inspect to see if the business is being illegally conducted. Mrs Bailey's specific I objections were that Mrs. Kelley was in business and had been and was taking Mrs. Bailey's customers. Mrs. Bailey said that when Mrs. Kelley worked for her, if she had requested it, her hours of work could have been changed. Supervisor Minter asked Mrs. Bailey if she would get with the County Administrator and the planning staff when they commence study of changes in the home occupation ordinance. Mrs. Bailey replied that she would. The next speaker was Betty Fuller of 6064 Loch Haven Drive, who was also at the Supervisors' August 10th meeting and who agreed with Mrs. Bailey that the situation is unfair. Mr. Bill Bailey spoke next. He identified himself as a resident of Deer Branch Road, less than 200 yards from Mrs. Kelley. He reminded those I present that Mr. Kelley had admitted he did not get a building permit for the work necessary to put in the beauty shop and asked what would have been done to him (Mr. Bailey) if he added onto his commercial building without a permit. Mr. Kelley said electrical inspection and wiring were done at the time his home was built; the only "building" he did was putting up some sheets of paneling; the plumbing was roughed in in his basement when the house was built. Mrs. Kelley said she had not begun operation yet. She said to accommodate an occasional customer she had had at Mrs. Bailey's, she would take them, but she did not charge. Supervisor Nickens said if individuals were aware of people operating businesses out of their homes, if they were really concerned, it I I ! should be reported to some County official. He said that this operation wouldi be incidental to the main use of the property as a residence and moved that I I i ; , I I the permit be approved for two years. Supervisor Myers made a substitute motion, saying he did not agree with Supervisor Nickens. Supervisor Myers said he felt when a home had been improved to the extent this one had been and the property value enhanced, a building permit was necessary. He said the work had been done and the building permit should have been gotten. He also said that about a year and a half or two years ago, a request for a home occupation in the I I- I i I~ r 8-24-82 103 . house next to the Kelleys was denied and that he had had calls opposing opening of a beauty shop on this street. He said the County laws do not govern home occupations as they should and moved that the request be continued until the staff has studied and investigated the ordinance as directed. Mr. Kelley told Supervisor Myers there were no other hair dressers on their street. Supervisor }lyers replied he was sure there was. Supervisor Minter wanted the matter held over until at least the building inspections could be made. Supervisor Myers's motion to continue the request was adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Myers, Minter, and Johnson NAYS: Supervisors Nickens and Burton. Supervisor Nickens then pointed out that Lynn Creasy's application for a home-occupation beauty shop had already been continued for two weeks. APPLICATION OF RALPH W. FOSTER FOR A HOME OCCUPATION * PEIDiIT TO ALLOW OPERATION OF AN INCOME TAX PRE PARA- * TION BUSINESS IN HIS HOME AT 4040 TRAIL DRIVE, N.E. * APPROVED (NORTH OFF ROUTE 460 EAST) IN THE HOLLINS DISTRICT. * Mr. Foster was present for this public hearing. Supervisor Minter asked if just one person at a time would be coming to the Foster home. Mr. Foster replied he retired recently from the Internal Revenue Service and wanted to get enough clients to keep busy about two days a week. Mostly he would pick up and deliver at their place of business, but has parking available. He further advised there would be no more than two people (clients at his home) at any time. No one was present in opposition, and Supervisor Minter moved that the permit be granted for two years. His notion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. PETITION OF THOMAS F.

He advised the facility would be a new, one-story, wood-frame I building. It was anticipated that an average of 22 patients a day would be seen, perhaps increasing to around 40. No one was present in opposition. Supervisor Johnson moved that the rezoning be permitted, and the motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. FINAL ORDER NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the Zoning Ordinances of Roanoke County, as amended, be and they hereby are, further amended to reclassify and rezone from Residential District RE to Office and Residential District B-1 the following tract or parcel of land: Lying between U.S. Route 221 and a line 200 feet northwest from and parallel with Route 221, at the intersection of the northwest side of U.S. Route 221 and the southwest side of State Route 694, containing 2.3 acres, more or less, and being the southeasterly portion of a 6.592 acre tract presently owned by Emily Rierson Jones and shown on a plat entitled "Plat prepared for Lewis-Gale Clinic, being property of Emily Rierson Jones (D.B. 531, pg. 163) situate along U.S. Route 221," made by Buford T.

REZONING IS REQUES'lED SO ~~ DR. BOGAR MAY USE THE EXISTING DWELLING AS HER * PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND OPERATE HER MEDICAL OFFICE * THEREIN. * PETITION WITHDRAHN The spokesman for this request was Mr. S. Ronald Owens, real estate broker. He advised that Dr. Bogar is a chiropractor and directed the Supervisors attention to the list of conditions proffered and commented that the conditions submitted applied only to the professional office not the entire dwelling. He also pointed out that the Planning Commission recommendation suggested that no more than three cars be permitted. The County Attorney said the proffered conditions are what must be considered and suggested the Supervisors consider carefully condition number 3, "The property is only to be used as a professional medical, legal, engineering, and/or architectural office conducted within the dwelling by the owner/ occupant." Mr. Owens said he referred to Article II, Section 21-15 (5) in preparing the proffered conditions and that he was instructed to do so by I a member of the County Planner's staff. The County Attorney was asked if condition number 3 could be dropped; he replied it could not because the conditions were voluntarily proffered. Supervisor Johnson asked that this petition be continued. The County Attorney advised that once the conditions were proffered and the public hearing was under way, they could not be changed. He suggested that the wording of condition number 3 should have been that the property would be used only for a professional medical office conducted within the property by the owner. Supervisor Johnson then suggested to Mr. Owens that he withdraw the petition for rezoning so Dr. Bogar would not have to wait for a year before re-petitioning. Chairman Burton suggested Mr. Owens check with the County Attorney or planning staff for the correct procedure. Mr. Owens I then asked to be allowed to withdraw the petition. Supervisor Myers moved that Mr. Owens be allowed to withdraw the petition without prejudice. The motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. {- ! i ! l~ ,.- 8-24-82 107 ~ PETITION OF ALBERT AND NADINE A.

No one was I present in opposition, and Chairman Burton called for questions from the Supervisors. Supervisor Minter asked what the property was currently being used for; Mr. Salem told him it had been a restaurant for years. Supervisor Myers moved that the rezoning be granted for the purpose stated. His motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. FINAL ORDER NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED that the aforementioned tract of land, more particularly described below, be rezoned from Business District B-1 to Business District B-2. BEGINNING at a point on the north side of U.S. Route 11 and 460 and the northeast corner of property now or formerly owned by Gertrude C. Hill, thence with the easterly dividing line of Hill, N. 210 53' W. 175.0 feet to a point; thence leaving Hill N. 680 07' E. 177.9 feet to a point on the west side of Virginia Secondary Route 645; thence S. 210 53' E. 175.0 feet to U.S. Route 11 and 460; thence with the northerly line of U. S. Route 11 and 460 S. 660 32' 20" W. 177.97 feet to the place of BEGINNING; and containing 0.714 acre according to a plat of survey made by T. P. Parker & Son, Engineers and Surveyors, Ltd., dated June 30, 1982. I BE IT FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order be transmitted to the County Planner and that he be and hereby is directed to reflect that change on the official zoning maps of the County. Supervisor Minter moved to suspend, temporarily, agen~item B-7 (amendments to County sign regulations) and go to items B-8 and 9. His !' motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. ~ ; I APPLICATION OF LYNN R. CREASY FOR A l:mm OCCUPATION 7~ PERMIT TO CONDUCT A ONE-CHAIR BEAUTY SHOP IN HER HOME AT 5571 CAPITO STREET, N.E. IN THE HOLLINS ~1AGISTERIAL DISTRICT. * Continued to ,'t September 28, * 1982. This request had been continued from the Supervisors' August 10 meeting, and ~1rs. Creasy was again present for the hearing; however, the - ..... I I I 8-24-82 108 County Attorney advised that the only appropriate action would be for this matter to be continued until the study and investigation previously directed to be made had been completed. Mr. Alex Apostolou, attorney, was also present on behalf of this request and felt the hearing should go forward. Supervisor Minter said the Supervisors did not have enough information to consider the item at this time and asked Mrs. Creasy if any building inspection had been made during the last two weeks; she replied not. Mr. Apostolou said it was unfair to ask the petitioner to come back repeatedly. Supervisor Nickens felt the petitioner was not correctly advised at the previous hearing of what would be required and felt the petitioner should not be penalized because the Board has decided the home occupation ordinance should be revised. Supervisor Minter moved that this request be continued until the last Board meeting in September and that a building inspection be made before that meeting. The motion was adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Myers, Minter, and Johnson. NAYS: Supervisors Nickens and Burton. County Attorney, James E. Buchholtz reminded the Supervisors that the ordinance amending the provisions of the County Code relating to shooting matches was before them at their August 10 meeting pursuant to their direction that the Code be revised to provide for shooting matches l 'I 'I i I 'I I i I ! ,I I under certain circumstances. He advised that two questions were raised at the August 10 meeting and that both have been addressed in this re-drafted ordinance. He also advised that the last section has been discussed with and received approval from the County Sheriff. Supervisor Johnson moved for adoption of the following prepared ordinance: ORDINANCE NO. 3216 M1ENDING ARTICLE III. SHOOTING 11ATCliES OF ChAPTER 4. AHUSEMENTS OF THE ROANOKE COUNTY CO~ BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, I: I Virginia, as follows: 1. That Chapter 4. Amusements, Article III.

A shooting match is a competitive, outdoor event utilizing fire- I arms. Sec. 4-6. Use of rifles or pistols prohibited. , I I i I ; , i " ~ r I I I 1 , I I I j i I I I i j i It shall be unlawful for any person to hold and operate any outdoor shooting match within the county at which shooting match rifles, shotguns, and/or pistols are discharged unless a special use permit has been obtained from the Board of Supervisors in accordance with Chapter 21, Zoning, of this Code. Sec. 4-7. Conditions governing shooting matches. The following conditions shall be observed in the issuance of any special use permit for a shooting match: a) The location of the shooting match must be such that the target area and impact area are not located in such a way to endanger citizens and property, and the person or organization conducting such shotting match shall provide appropriate barriers to provide maximum protection to the public.

NAYS: None I - ~I .., 8-24-82 110 REQUEST OF THE ROANOKE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION * TO AJ1END VARIOUS SECTIONS OF ARTICLE XVII (SIGN * REGULATIONS) OF THE COUNTY CODE IN ORDER TO CONTROL * THE LOCATION IN ZONING DISTRICTS, NUMBER ON SITE, * AND TO SET A REVIEW PROCESS FOR OUTDOOR ADVERTISING * SIGNS IN ROANOKE COUNTY. * APPROVED WITH REVISIONS I Chairman Burton requested that opponents and proponents of the Planning Commission's recommendations regulating signs in Roanoke County designate a spokesman for their side who would be allowed to speak for 15 minutes. If a spokesman did not use up his 15 minutes, the remainder of his time could be used by other persons wishing to speak in support of his position. Other- wise, after the spokesman's presentation, other speakers were to be allowed two minutes each. J. R. Jones, Chairman of the Planning Commission and a member of the subcommittee which revised the sign regulations, spoke first and advised the Supervisors that a lot of work and study and a number of meetings, all of which were open to the public, went into preparation of these recommendations. I Supervisor Johnson asked if there is a standard size of outdoor advertising sign; Mr. Jones referred her question to the spokesman for the sign industry, who advised that there are standard sizes nation wide. l1rs.Gerard Bijwaard of 4802 Brookwood Drive, S.W. asked that the Supervisors accept the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Mrs. Bijwaard felt that a middle ground had been found to meet the needs of the sign industry and the County citizens; she was concerned that the County remain the beautiful place it is. She then read a prepared statement in support of the Planning Commission's recommendations and asked that the measures recommended be adopted, pointing out that some Virginia counties and some whole states have outlawed billboards. I John Cone of 522 Mountain Avenue, Roanoke City, was present on behalf of the Citizen's Environmental Council of the Roanoke Valley. He outlined their letter prepared in support of the proposed regulations (copy of the letter is filed with the agenda material related to this meeting). I I I~ ~ 8-24-82 111 . Will Estes of 4920 Cave Spring Circle was present, representing the Joint Council of Civic Leagues. He said members of the Joint Council and the Planning Commission had worked long and hard in preparing the sign ordinance and felt the citizens and Commission deserve recognition for their efforts. I William Tanger of Image Advertising, 1302 Second Street in Roanoke, was present in support of the proposed ordinance. He had received a mailing from the sign industry urging citizens to turn out to protect the business community, and he wanted to rebut its points. Mr. Tanger felt the sign ordinance would encourage companies to come into this area because outdoor advertising would be controlled, making the area attractive. Daniel Shaw of 3570 Forester Road in Roanoke County said the signs along Brambleton Avenue are an eyesore and said he did not want to see them spread. He said he is not anti-business and that adoption of the proposed ordinance would not affect the way he spends his money. I This concluded the comments from persons in favor of the proposed sign ordinance. The spokesman for the sign industry was Gordon LaGarde, who identified himself as a resident of Cresthill subdivision in Roanoke County. He advised he served on the Planning Commission subcommittee that prepared the proposed ordinance. He stated that billboards are not a cause of traffic accidents, as had been stated in the letter submitted by Mr. Cone. He pointed out that the State Division of Motor Vehicles suggests that drivers read highway signs and billboards to keep alert. He also said the Planning Commission should be helping, not hindering businesses. He said outdoor advertising fills a need in the area and that this ordinance would deny them space to erect their units. He felt the sign industry was being harassed and driven out of business and asked the Supervisors to vote "No" on the ordinance. A copy of Mr. LaGarde's prepared statement is filed with the agenda material related to this meeting. I ~1 ~I: - ., 8-24-82 112 ~-~'_---=-...--.., John Poff, Senior Vice President of American Motor Inns, spoke in opposition to the ordinance changes. He felt outdoor bulletins are necessary to direct traffic. He read a list of taxes and charges paid into I Valley treasuries by the sign industry and said the Supervisors had a responsibility to foster an atmosphere conducive to promoting business and industry. A previous proponent of the proposed ordinance had mentioned that Vermont was one of the states which had prohibited billboards, and Mr. Poff advised that American Motor Inns had sold two of their hotels in Vermont because people could not find them. William W. Whittaker, who identified himself as a resident of the Summerdean subdivision in Roanoke County, was present in opposition to the amended sign regulations. He highlighted the points in a prepared statement (filed with the agenda material related to this meeting) in which he advised that Distributive Education students work mostly in businesses that use billboards to promote business. If these businesses are not allowed to I advertise, these part-time employees could be affected. George McInturff from Maryland was present to speak in opposition to this proposal. He suggested that the proposed sign limitations are unique in business and industrial zones and recommended the sizes be changed in both zones. He recommended getting rid of height restrictions; his two-minute time limit ran out before he completed his remarks. Fancher Turner of Dominion Signs said the Planning Commission had asked for a moratorium to study Roanoke City's sign ordinance and the effect it would have on Roanoke County. He said no such study had been made or attempted. Mr. Turner then displayed a series of maps of Virginia counties I which surround cities where billboards are prohibited or strictly regulated. He advised that correspondence with the administrators of those counties indicated that the cities' sign restrictions had had little or no impact on the surrounding counties. Pete Watkins of Tuckawana Circle in Roanoke City identified himself as ! 1- President of the Advertising Federation of the Roanoke Valley and read a ~.... r 113 8-24-82 prepared statement. He felt the proposed restrictions would be counter- productive to Valley growth. Frank Bern said the advertising industry donates space to non-profit I groups and that they depend on the standard-size unit. Steve Bryant, Market Manager for 3-M Advertising of Raleigh, North Carolina, said the "long, hard effort" mentioned by the proponents as going into preparation of this ordinance did not mean the ordinance is a good one or that it should be passed. He also said the sizes recommended in the ordinance were odd and they needed standardization. He did not feel the committee that prepared the ordinance was aware of the effect the odd sizes would produce and felt this needed to be considered. At this point in the meeting (9:33 p.m.), Chairman Burton asked if there were any more speakers. She then said one of the Supervisors had requested a break. I After a brief recess, the meeting resumed at 9:46 p.m. Chairman Burton then announced she would give each of the two sides in this matter five minutes to sum up. Thomas M. Hufford, member of the County Planning Commission, was present to answer any questions. Mr. Hufford said the Commission's subcowmittee felt they were well within their bounds in the recommendations they have made. Regarding the impact of the Roanoke City sign ordinance, , Hr. Hufford said a survey of signs was made and that the Commission used , in the City, signs would come to the County or to Salem. He said the I common sense and took for granted that if the sign industry was regulated I: proposed ordinance was a compromise, that he was not against billboards, Ie l he had used them in his business. He said neither side was happy with the ordinance and for that reason he felt it was a good ordinance. He also pointed out there was provision in the proposed regulations for a review by the Planning Commission for a sign that did not meet the provisions of L- ~ 8-24-82 114 Article XVII. Mr. LaGarde summed up for the sign industry. He said Mr. Hufford was I misinformed, that the sign industry had heard the same speech about "not taking away the right to do business" from the Chairman of the City Planning Commission, but that the first two variances requested before the City Planning Commission were turned down. He said that had been the trend everywhere that restrictive sign ordinances have been adopted. He said there was no way the sign industry can recognize municipal boundaries, they depend upon the amount of traffic passing their signs. He asked the Supervisors not to take away their space and the standard sizes of their signs. Fancher Turner said much had been made of the small sums paid by the sign industry. He said only in the past few years had signs been taxable. I He said the payroll for the sign industry in the Valley is over $1 million and that that was a sizeable contribution to the economy. John Cone, representing the environmentalists, presented statistics showing that billboard regulations have nothing to do with unemployment. Mrs. Bijwaard felt that everything had been said that could be said and requested that the Board's decision be made based on the entire County and its population. Mr. LaGarde asked Mr. Tanger if he had in the past bought outdoor advertising and if he would buy it in the future. Mr. Tanger replied that he had bought it and will in the future, that it is a useful tool, but I that that fact did not have anything to do with the sign ordinance under discussion. Mr. Tanger said outdoor advertising is a public medium and unavoidable and that the sign industry needs to be regulated and controlled fo the benefit of the entire community. Supervisor Johnson asked the sign industry representatives at large I ! I I what their standard sizes are. She was told there are three standard sizes: ~ "..- 115 . 8-24-82 672 square fe,et (14' x 48'),378 square feet (10'6" x 36') and 300 square "\ feet. It was stated that 40 per cent of signs in the Roanoke Valley are 672 square feet and 60 per cent are 300 square feet. Supervisor Minter moved that each section of the proposed ordinance I be considered separately. His motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote. Proceeding thus, the first section of the ordinance to be considered was Section 21-124 (d). Supervisor Johnson asked Planning Commission Chairman Jones how the subcommittee had arrived at a maximum size of 312.5 square feet. He replied it was a compromise. Supervisor Johnson asked if the ordinance provided that a sign that was torn down could be replaced; County Attorney Buchholtz said there are no "grandfathered" signs. It was also pointed out that existing provisions in the County Code provide for nonconforming uses and that under these provisions if a sign does not conform to regulations and ~ the cost to restore it is not more than 50 per cent of the original cost of the sign, it can be restored. I The Supervisors then discussed 21-128 (g) and asked the County Attorney to address the legalities. Mr. Buchholtz read the section aloud and said he had no problem with the terminology but that in his opinion it was clearly illesal because it delegates the right and authority to the Planning Commission to amend an ordinance adopted by the Board of Supervisors without any standards or guidelines to guide them in their deliberations as to the needs or reasons for amending the ordinance. He advised the Supervisors this section was illegal. Supervisor Nickens moved that Section 21-124 (d) be revised to reflect following roll call vote: I a maximum sign area of 378 square feet. His motion was adopted by the AYES: Supervisors Nickens, Myers, Minter, Johnson, and Burton. NAYS: None. : - ...... , I I I '" ..- ~' ~ l 8-24-82 .A ~i.

His motion was adopted by the following rol I call vote: AYES: Supervisors Nickens, Myers, Minter, Johnson, and Burton. NAYS: None. During the discussion of Section 21-128 (a) someone asked if a sign existed in an A-lor RE zoning classification and the land were rezoned to R-1, what would happen to the sign; could it remain or would it have to be taken down? The County Attorney answered that it would be allowed to remain, that rezoning cannot foreclose existing rights. Chairman Burton asked if the ordinance could stipulate this; Mr. Buchholtz suggested this be put in the sign ordinance and R-1, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts be amended to so reflect. Gordon LaGarde said this problem has never arisen. Supervisor Myers moved that Section 21-128 (a) be adopted as written. Supervisor Johnson made a substitute motion adding A-1 and RE with the provision that if these go into residential areas or zoning that prohibits signs, they will be taken out. Mrs. Johnson's motion was adopted by the fol lowing roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Nickens, Minter, Johnson, and Burton. NAYS: Supervisor Myers. Supervisor Minter moved that Section 21-128 (b) be adopted as written; his motion was adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Supervisors Nickens, Myers, Minter, Johnson, and Burton NAYS: None.

Supervisor Johnson made a substitute motion that the County Attorney revise this section and write in legal language something that would be acceptable for review. Supervisor Johnson then withdrew her motion and moved that the County Attorney write a legal ordinance. Her motion was defeated by the following roll call vote: AYES: NAYS: AYES: NAYS: Supervisor Johnson.
