The Board of Supervisors have asked me to express on
their behalf their sincere appreciation for your previous service
to the Community Corrections Resources Board. Citizens so
responsive to the needs of their community and willing to give of
themselves and their time are indeed all too scarce.
This is to advise that at their meeting held on Tuesday,
August 11, 1987, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to
reappoint you as a member of the Community Corrections Resources
Board for a 1-year term. Your term will expire on August 13,
1988.
~== State law provides that any person elected, re-elected,
appointed to any body be furnished a copy of the Freedom of
Information Act; your copy is enclosed. We are also sending you
a copy of the Conflicts of Interest Act. Both of these have been
amended by the 1987 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, and
a copy of each amendment is attached.
On behalf of the Supervisors and the citizens of Roanoke
County, please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for
your willingness to accept this appointment.
Very truly yours,
Mary H. Allen, Deputy Clerk

AT A REGULARAMHELDNATOTHEHROANORE COUNTYEADMINISTRp,TIONNCENTER
COUNTY, VIRGINI
MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Appalachian Power Company Off-Site Water Facilities
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Appalachian Power Company is developing a site located north of
the Loch Haven Road/Route 311 intersection at Hanging Rock. Water
service to this site will require a 6,000 foot extension of the
existing 12" water line that currently ends at the VDOT building on
Route 311, a small booster pump station, and a water storage r alachian
The estimated cost of these water facilities is $310,000. APP
Power Company has drilled one well on their property which wou therey
produce 15 gallons per minute and is not a suitable supplY% As noted
fore, they would be required to use a public water supply.
in the fiscal impact below, Roanoke County's share of the project
would be approximately $115,540. This amount is less than the
construction cost of the water storage reservoir alone. In addition,
000 foot extension
future connections which will be made along the 6,
will produce off-site facilities fees in excess of $500,000.
Appalachian Power Company has requested that Roanoke County
participate in the cost of installing the off-site water facilities in
lieu of using a reimbursement agreement.
Staff proposes that Roanoke County provide the necessary water
facilities to the APCO site with the use of water revenue bond funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
J The facilities which are proposed to be constructed by APCO will
require a 6" domestic water service and a 12" separate fire service.
The total water connection fees that will be paid is $194,460.20.
Therefore, the required participation for Roanoke County would be
approximately $115,540. The initial water connection fees will cover
62$ of the cost,sSnoff150~eofothe totalscost oflthe water facil ties
generate in exce
provided.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommanas Po e ~cthetfollowinghactions must be taken Water
line. If the Boa pP
(1) Approve County participation in the extension of this water
line;
(2) Approve the issuance of revenue bonds (through Virginia
Resources Authority) in the amount of $115,540;
(3) Authorize County Administrator to execute all necessary
documents.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:
August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Appropriation for Roanoke County Share of Storm Sewer
Construction, Ogden Road (Route 867) Project
COUNTY AD/~MINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~(,~ %f
,~ ~ 4
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1983, the Board of Supervisors approved a Secondary
Highway Six Year Plan for Roanoke County that included the
widening to five lanes of Ogden Road ( Route 867) from Electric
Road (Route 419) to the Roanoke City Limits. In December, 1986,
the Board of Supervisors modified the project. Due to physical
constraints, there will be a transition from five lanes back to
two lanes at the bridge over the railroad tracks.
It is now the policy of the Virginia Department of
Transportation to require participation by localities for
portions of storm sewer construction costs if curb and gutter
improvements are desired. Roanoke County's share for the Ogden
Road Project with curb and gutter improvements is $10,200. This
amount must be appropriated if the Board approves the project but
will not be expended for 2 - 3 years at the end of the project.
This is the first request of this type that has come
before the Board and approval of this project could set a
precedent when future requests are made. The Virginia Department
of Transportation also plans to request funds for the Starkey
Project. Roanoke County's share for the Starkey Project could
cost between $350,000 to $400,000 if curb and guttering are
included. Installing curb and gutter at the time that
the reconstruction work is done reduces the amount of right of
way required from 110 feet for shoulder in this section to 80
feet for curb and gutter. This would negate the need for
purchasing additional houses and businesses. While curb and
gutter could be installed later, the cost benefit would already
have been lost due to excessive right of way acquisitions.
However, staff is working on other options which may reduce the
cost substantially for the Starkey Road Project.
.L_~
FISCAL IMPACT:
~ An appropriation will be needed to transfer $10,200 from
Unappropriated Balance to a separate line item in the Capital
Fund. Monies will not be expended during the 1987-88 fiscal
year, but will be reserved for this project in future years.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the appropriation
for the Odgen Project storm sewer construction with curb and
gutter improvements.

ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA., ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Request to Appropriate Monies for the Purpose of
Sponsoring Additional Student Positions at the
Governor's School
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Following the approval of the School budget in May of this
year, the Board of Supervisors received numerous requests for
funding of student positions in the Governor's School if
additional funds became available. The Board of Supervisors has
always been supportive of the School's needs, and asked the
County staff to review the request in an effort to fund the
positions in the Governor's School.
The School Administration has suggested funding for these
positions come from the remaining balance of the 1986-87 School
budget, with the understanding that if there are insufficient
funds, the balance will be taken from the current year's School
budget. The exact amount of the balance will not be determined
for several weeks when the annual audit is completed.
At the budget work sessions in April, the School
Administration also pointed out the need to replace many school
buses. The Board of Supervisors and County staff share this
concern. As of June 30, 1987, there was a balance of
approximately $117,000 in the School Bus Fund.
Staff recommends that the monies remaining at year end after
funding of the Governor's School be earmarked for the purchase of
school buses.
(, FISCAL IMPACT:
U Twenty-six thousand dollars should be appropriated from
beginning balance to finance the additional positions at the
Governor's School. The remainder of the School Fund balance for
the 1986-87 fiscal year is to be placed in the School Bus
account.
RECOMMENDATION:
r.
If the Board of Supervisors wishes to fund the Governor's
School, the following actions are recommended:
'Allow the Schools to retain any unexpended funds from the
1986-87 budget to be used in the following manner:
It is estimated that funding of the Governor's School
will require between $18,000 and $26,000. Designate
that this amount be taken from the unexpended funds
from 1986/87.
Allocate any monies remaining after funding the
Governor's School to the School Bus Fund.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA., ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Protest of Bid by Valley Communications
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: /~
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
By letter dated July 1, 1987, Valley Communications submit-
ted an apparent protest of the award of bid RC87-19, a copy of
which is attached. This protest was originally scheduled to come
before the Board at the July 14, 1987, meeting, but was postponed
at the request of the attorney for Valley Communications. This
bid was for a maintenance agreement for surveillance equipment in
the jail for FY 1987-88.
Invitations to bid were issued April 24, 1987, and resulted
in three (3) vendors submitting responses:
Valley Communications - $550 per month
$55 per hour, emergency
Kane Communication Systems - $600 per month
$37.50 per hour, emergency
Radio Communication - No Bid
Valley Communications was the low bidder and was the contrac-
tor for these services for FY 1986-87. Based upon numerous com-
plaints from the Sheriff's Department and fruitless attempts to
resolve these problems with this contractor, it was determined
that the performance was unsatisfactory.
Based upon these complaints and the record of performance
during the past contract year, the Sheriff's Department recom-
mended that the maintenance agreement for surveillance equipment
in the jail for FY 1987-88 be awarded to the next low bidder -
Kane Communictaion Systems. The difference between these two
bids was $600, less $17.50 per hour for emergency work (after
5:00 p.m.).
..--
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this protest by Valley Communications
be rejected, and that the Board confirm and ratify the award of
the contract to Kane Communication Systems. This action is based
upon unsatisfactory performance of Valley Communications during
the 1986-87 contract year. Further, the Board confirms and rati-
fies the determination to proceed with the contract to protect
the public interest.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul M. Mahoney

FROM: H. D. Fielder ~~~
DATE: May 22, 1987
SUBJECT: Valley Comrrrunications
At the present time Valley Communication does not have personnel that
have the background to perforrrr any technical work that we rrray need.
Mr. Zimmerman no longer works for them and he was the only man that
really could do the work. They have a man that can replace switches and etc.,
but he has to call others when something out of the--rte utine goes out.
Several months ago we wrote them about the fact they were not doing
the contract monthly check and they said they would, but still no good checks
are being made and/or any report as required. The cameras have not been cleaned.
I only wrote the letter after several talks with them over a year.
It is rrry feeling they, Valley Corrrrnunications, should not be granted the
new contract. The log in control shows two (2) hour monthly checks for when done.
No date on Borne entries.

MEMO T0: Bonnie Preas -~ ~~
FROM: Captain S. P. Huff
DATE: June 1, 1987
SUBJECT: Bid Proposals
~..F _ G
I have reviewed the bid proposals sent over to me for review.
As I understand the bids, Valley Communications underbid Kane's Communication
Systems by $50. a month on the service contract but was over Kanes on emergency hours. _
During the last year we have experienced some problems with Valley. On
November 10, 1986, I sent a letter to Mr. Mark Cronk outlining some of the problems
we have had. For a short time the problems were corrected but upon checking our
log book in the Control room, they haven't been coming in as required. In addition
to that, the licensed technician that was good at working on the equipment no longer
works for Valley and now works part-time for Kane.
On Friday, May 29, 1987, one of our cameras in the lobby went out and Valley
was called. At 1615 hours, two (2) of their workers came up and I showed them the
problem and they brought an old replacement camera with them that was the wrong one.
I told them we had two (2) spares down there and asked why they didn't bring one. They
said they couldn't find any. I told them to take another camera from somewhere else
in the jail but they didn't have the key for the cover to the camera. The man who had
it was on vacation and took the key with him.
They appear to have a bunch of young kids working for them who don't really
know what they are doing. I feel the extra money that Kane has submitted outweighs
the problem we have experienced over the past year. I have seen Kane's work when he
worked on the phones in the jail and he was dependable then and feel he would be if
given the contract.

If he is given the contract, I would ask that Valley find the extra
cameras and monitors purchased and they be turned over to Kane.

SUJBECT: Surveillance Contract
ee
I have received bid proposals via Capt. S. P. Huff bidding on the service
contract for the jail. Valley Communications submitted a contract which is $50.00
a month under that of Danny Kane, however their overtime is more than $17.50 a
hour.
Capt. S. P. Huff and Officer Don Fielder, our Jail Maintenance Supervisor,
feel that the contract for 1987/88 should be awarded--t-o Kane's Communication Sys-
tems, due to the quality of work Danny Kane performed and in view of the fact that
the services of Valley Communications was unsatisfactory enough that Capt. Huff
wrote them a letter on November 10, 1986. This leads me to believe that it would
be cheaper in the long run to award the contract to Danny Kane.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1987
RESOLUTION ENDORSING A DIRECT ACCESS ROAD
BETWEEN BLACKSBURG AND THE ROANOKE VALLEY
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, as follows:
WHEREAS, The Governor of Virginia has included as part
of his economic development strategy for the Commonwealth the
improvement of transportation facilities; and
WHEREAS, the lack of direct access to Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University from the Roanoke
Valley is an obstacle to the continued economic development
potential of the region; and
WHEREAS, a study commissioned by the Town of Blacksburg
shows that a new road leading from the Virginia Tech Corporate
Research Center east to a point near the existing intersection of
Route 641 with Interstate 81 is the best solution to the problems
associated with the access of the Roanoke Valley to Blacksburg
and Virginia Tech.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors
of Roanoke County that:
1. The Board joins with the Town of Blacksburg and
Virginia Tech in requesting that the Commonwealth Transportation
Board and the Virginia Department of Transportation accept the
corridor solution the Town of Blacksburg has identified as the
best answer to the needs of the Commonwealth, and provide the
funds necessary for timely completion of the project; and
2. The Clerk to the Board is directed to mail copies
of this resolution to members of the Commonwealth Transportation
Board .

Economic development. Ready access to good highways has always been an
important element in promoting economic development. The Commonwealth of
Virginia recognizes this in their industrial access road program. Virginia
Tech is a $260 million a year corporation with over 10,000 employees spending
more than $56 million a year in research projects alone. Although many people
do not view Virginia Tech as a business, it is one of, if not the, largest
corporation in Southwest Virginia. As a leader in the education industry,
Virginia Tech has the resources to initiate and implement changes which can
generate economic well being for the stepchild of the Commonwealth.
Although the "all dirt roads lead to Tech" quotation is meant to be a joke,
the fact that customers of this corporation must traverse one major congested
corridor or wind their way through the back roads of Southwest Virginia to do
business is no joking matter. As most of us have learned, perceptions are
often more important than reality. If we are to unleash the potential of
Virginia Tech, highway access is critical.
The second key ingredient in the economic puzzle is the only major urban mass
in Southwest Virginia, the Roanoke Valley. The Roanoke Valley contains the
region's airport, its major medical facilities, employment centers, and
cultural attractions. Although the New River Valley is an important popula-
tion center, it is the partnership of Virginia Tech and the Roanoke Valley
that must be cemented if Southwest Virginia is to prosper. Direct access to
I-81 is an important element in that partnership.
Traffic congestion. A person trapped in traffic congestion is a waste of
resources. Whether Route 460 meets a traffic engineer's definition of over-
loaded or not, the residents and visitors to the Blacksburg area know that
Route 460 between Blacksburg and I-81 is inadequate. In 1985 almost 36,000
vehicles per day moved through its busiest point. The Mattern and Craig
license plate survey estimates that approximately 26 percent of this traffic
is headed to or from I-81. If this through traffic could be diverted to an
alternative direct route, the local traffic congestion would be reduced by
one-fourth. Considerably higher volumes would be diverted during special
events at Virginia Tech (i.e., athletic events, spring break, concerts, end
and beginning of semesters).
Safety. One of the Virginia Department of Transportation's primary
considerations in the design, construction or improvement to any highway is
safety. Congestion usually breeds safety problems as do at-grade inter-
changes.
Design. Specific design features may ultimately vary, but, for the
purposes of our analysis, we have assumed that all of the alternatives would
involve the construction of four-lane, divided limited access highways with
grade-separated interchanges.

2. A new road originating at the Virginia Tech Corporate
Research Center and connecting with I-81 near the point
Route 641 passes under I-81, and
3. A new road originating at the Virginia Tech Corporate
Research Center following Route 603 along the North Fork of
the Roanoke River to I-81 at the Ironto interchange.
The Mattern and Craig report includes a preliminary analysis of each alterna-
tive based on cost and environmental impact.
The plan endorsed by Christiansburg (Mattern and Craig Alternative A) provides
for the construction of a new road from South Blacksburg to the Route 460
bypass just past its intersection with Christiansburg Business 460. Anew
road segment would also be built between the existing intersection of the
Route 460 Bypass with Route 11 and a new interchange at I-81 less than a mile
south of Exit 37.
Mattern and Craig's Alternative B would include a 6.6 mile stretch of new
highway from South Blacksburg to the Route 641/I-81 intersection. It would
include three new grade-separated interchanges, two in Blacksburg and one at
I-81. This alternative would be built well east of the Route 460 corridor and
the new I-81 interchange would be over two miles north of Exit 37. Alterna-
tive B would allow traffic from Giles County and places west a direct route
through Blacksburg to I-81 and the Roanoke Valley.
A new highway following the general corridor of existing Route 603 is shown as
Alternative C in the Mattern `and Craig report. This 11.3 miles of new roadway
Would have the same two grade-separated interchanges in South Blacksburg as
Alternative B and would require rebuilding of the I-81 Ironto interchange.
The Route 603 alternative would provide the most direct connection to the
Roanoke Valley.
Mattern and Craig estimated the amount of traffic which would use each of the
three alternative routes if they were in place today and projected the volumes
to the year 2007.
Alternative A removes the largest percentage of traffic from the existing
Route 460 corridor. Alternatives B and C do not remove as much traffic
because only those people who are headed toward the Roanoke Valley would use
these alternatives.
Travelers headed south on I-81 would most likely use Route 460 or other
alternatives. All of the volume projections assume that the new road segments
do not encourage development and creation of new access points.
Each of the alternatives is a four-lane, divided highway with grade-separated
interchanges. One potential problem with Alternative A is that two of the
proposed new interchanges are within one mile of I-81 Exit 37. State guide-
lines suggest interstate interchanges should be more than a mile apart.
Without the proposed interchanges, through traffic would bottleneck at Route
11.
6
As noted in the introduction, distance is not always a good measure of how
people perceive access to their destination. Alternative A would still be a
"roundabout" path between Blacksburg and Roanoke. At its best, any of the new
roads would probably reduce travel time at off-peak periods by about 30
percent. At peak traffic flows, motorists would find the new routes much
faster.
In the face of the many objectives one may have for new road access to I-81,
the economic well being of Southwest Virginia should be of paramount concern.
Road improvements should provide the best access to that institution, Virginia
Tech, which has the resources to meet the economic development needs of the
region. If we attempt to reach a "compromise" which answers the most indi-
vidual needs and focus on a "quick fix," we may well lose our best opportunity
in this century to develop a solution which meets the greater long-term needs
of the Commonwealth. If local needs remain after the I-81 access objective is
met, we should work together to meet those more limited objectives.
Conclusions
1. The existing traffic conditions in the Route 460 corridor are dangerous,
inefficient and burdensome.
2. A new road is needed to provide "direct" access to I-81 from Blacksburg
and Virginia Tech, as well as relieve the traffic congestion in the
corridor.
3. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the vehicles using the corridor on an
average day are trying ro get to or from I-81. These vehicles would use
a limited access highway providing direct access to I-81 thereby reducing
the Route 460 congestion.
4. The proposal endorsed by the Town of Christiansburg is the least expen-
sive solution.
5. The Route 603 proposal is the most expensive and would cause the most
environmental problems.
6. The Route 641 alternative would provide direct access to I-81 from
Virginia Tech and South Blacksburg, would result in the fewest number of
relocations, and would meet the long-term economic development needs of
both the Roanoke Valley and greater Blacksburg.
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution 7-F-87 endorsing the Route 641 alternative and
work with the Virginia Department of Transportation and others to
implement this plan.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOI~R'S COMMENTS:
C-Er»'Lv~tr-o' .~'~-L. . ~`' ~~`'~~~
~~
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
This proposed ordinance to vacate the plat of the Ramsgate
Court Subdivision is before the Board upon the petition of Jerry
W. and Janette L. Bush. The purpose of the vacation is to permit
the petitioners to graze livestock upon the property. This
ordinance was originally scheduled to come before the Board on
June 23, 1987, but was withdrawn since it was believed that this
application could be resolved administratively. This belief was
later found to be incorrect, however, when it was discovered that
the plat had already been subdivided. Because of this
subdivision, the vacation can be accomplished only by Board
action. On July 14, 1987, the Board scheduled a public hearing
on this request for July 28, 1987.
Section 15.1-4$2 of the State Code requires that a subdivi-
sion plat may be vacated after any lot in the subdivision has
been sold either by a written instrument agreeing to the vacation
signed by all of the lot owners or by an ordinance adopted by the
Board. The applicants are requesting that the Board adopt an
ordinance vacating this subdivision plat. The Franklin County
Board of Supervisors vacated the plat for the portion of the sub-
division located in Franklin County.
The applicants published the required legal notices for a
public hearing for June 23, 1987. To save further publication
expenses the public hearing was rescheduled for July 28, 1987.
The Director of Development Review notified the other subdivision
property owners by certified mail. The public hearing and first
reading of this requested ordinance was held on July 28, 1987;
the second reading is scheduled for August 11, 1987.
Please note the attached petition.
G FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
_,
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board consider this ordinance.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANORE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANORE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Amendment to Water Ordinance
Section 20.1-9, Wells
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
;y~~'~'~
~l
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
At the July 14, 1987, Work Session on Water System Acquisition,
the Board members expressed concern that water systems were being
constructed which meet the State requirement for water supply, but at
the same time, would not supply a sufficient quantity of water when
the well production decreased. It was suggested that a method be
developed to prevent future water systems that might have marginal
water supplies.
The attached revision to Section 20.1-9, Wells, of the Water
Ordinance, is proposed to require more stringent well pump testing
methods for new wells which are constructed as part of a public water
supply. A public water supply is defined in the Water Ordinance as
one that supplies three or more connections. This portion of the
Ordinance does not apply to existing wells which are currently
permitted by the State as public water supplies. All new wells will
be test pumped using the step drawdown test method as well as the
48-hour pump test currently required by the State Health Department.
The step drawdown test is a pumping method which will produce
statistical data whereby well performance can be predicted over any
period of time. This statistical data is gathered during a 6-8 hour
test period and then is extrapolated to determine the safe yield for a
period of 30 days continuous pumping. The use of the step drawdown
test, in addition to the State required 48-hour continuous test, will
more correctly predict the future well production during changing
climatic conditions. This revision to the Water Ordinance will
increase the cost to the developer by approximately $8,000. These,
and other costs associated with wells, are eligible for credit against
the off-site facility fee paid by the developer.
The first reading on this proposed ordinance was held on July 28,
1987; the second reading is scheduled for August 11, 1987.
r
FISCAL IMPACT:
r." ....,, ~_~
No calculable fiscal impact can be made as the result of the
proposed revision. Abetter well supply for future water systems will
result in less expenditures to provide additional water when the well
production decreases.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the amendment to the
Water Ordinance concerning wells.

IN ROANOKE, VA., ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending and Reenacting the Roanoke County
Zoning Ordinance to Revise the Floodplain Regulations
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
~~
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On June 9, 1987, the Board of Supervisors held a work ses-
sion to consider a drainage study. As part of this study the
County staff recommended a series of actions to alleviate some of
the drainage problems in Roanoke County. One of these recommenda-
tions concerns an optional change in the local floodplain ordin-
ance suggested by the drainage study. This amendment enlarges
the definition of a "floodplain" to include areas which are not
designated as floodplain by the Corps of Engineers. The engineer-
ing staff has found that a drainage area of one hundred acres is
likely to experience severe flood damage. By amending the
definition to designate these areas as a floodplain, the County
can restrict development therein. This change will lessen the
damaging effects of flooding in flood prone areas not designated
as either floodway or flood fringe.
Since this recommendation required amending the Zoning Ordin-
ance, it was reviewed by the Roanoke County Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter on
July 7, 1987, and voted to approve this amendment.
After the required public notice, a public hearing and first
reading of this proposed ordinance was held on July 28, 1987, and
the second reading is scheduled for August 11, 1987. The effec-
tive date of this ordinance is August 12, 1987, assuming favor-
able consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board favorably consider the pro-
posed amending ordinance.

MEETING DATE: August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Ordinance amending and re-enacting the Roanoke County
Zoning Ordinance, Special Public Interest Regulations,
Floodplains, in accordance with the changes mandated by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The Federal Emergency Management .Agency (FEMA) has mandated
that all local governments participating within the federal flood
insurance program make modifications to the floodplain regula-
tions contained within the zoning ordinance. These required
changes pertain to the following: definitions of "lowest floor,
manufactured home, manufactured home park or subdivision, and
start of construction"; description of "required information,
zone A, service facilities, manufactured homes, area below lowest
floor" within all floodplain districts; other minor wording
changes such as "manufactured homes" in lieu of mobile homes.
Since these recommendations required amending the Zoning
Ordinance, they were reviewed by the Roanoke County Planning Com-
mission. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
matter on July 7, 1987, and voted to approve this amendment.
After the required public notice, a public hearing and first
reading of this proposed ordinance was held on July 28, 1987, and
the second reading is scheduled for August 11, 1987. The effec-

County Code, Zoning Ordinance, Article V, "Special Public Inter-
est Regulations", as follows:
ARTICLE V. SPECIAL PUBLIC INTEREST REGULATIONS
§ 21-61. Floodplains.
The purpose of these provisions is to prevent the following
hazards: the loss of life and property, the creation of health
and safety hazards, the disruption of commerce and governmental
services, the extraordinary and unnecessary expenditure of public
funds for flood protection and relief, and the impairment of the
tax base by the means provided here:
(a) Regulating uses, activities, and development which, acting
alone or in combination with other existing or future
uses, activities, and development, will cause unacceptable
increases in flood heights, velocities, and frequencies.
2
(b) Restricting or prohibiting certain uses, activities, and
development from locating within areas subject to flood-
ing.
(c) Requiring all those uses, activities, and developments
that do occur in flood-prone areas to be protected and/or
flood-proofed against flooding and flood damage.
(d) Protecting individuals from buying lands and structures
which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood
hazards.
A. Applicability.
These provisions shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction
of Roanoke County and identified as being flood-prone as stipu-
lated in this section.
B. Compliance.
(a) No land shall hereafter be developed and no structure
shall be located, relocated, constructed, reconstructed,
enlarged, or structurally altered except in full compli-
ance with the terms and provisions of this section and any
other applicable ordinances and regulations which apply to
uses within the jurisdiction of this section.
(b) This ordinance supersedes any regulations currently in
effect in flood-prone areas. However, any underlying regu-
lations shall remain in full force and effect to the ex-
tent that those provisions are more restrictive.
C. Definitions.
For the purpose of the Floodplain Section of this ordinance
these terms are defined as follows:
(a) Development - any man-made change to improved or unim-
proved real estate including but not limited to buildings
or other structures, the placement of mobile homes,
streets and other paving, utilities, filling, grading,
excavation, mining, dredging, or drilling operations.
(b) Flood - a general and temporary inundation of normally dry
land areas.
(c) Floodplain - (1) a relatively flat or low land area adjoin-
ing a river, stream, or watercourse which is subject to
3
partial or complete inundation; (2) an area subject to the
unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters
from any source.
(d) Floodway - the designated area of the floodplain required
to carry and discharge flood waters of a given magnitude.
(e) Lowest floor - the lowest floor includes the lowest en-
closed area (including basement) of any structure. An
unfinished or flood resistant enclosure usable solely for
arking of vehicles, building access, or storage, in an
area other than a basement area is not considered a build
in 's lowest floor rovided that such enclosure is not
built so as to render the structure in violation of the
applicable non-elevation design requirements of this ordi-
nance.
(f) Manufactured home - a structure, transportable in one or
more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and
is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation
when connected to the re wired utilities. The term "manu
factured home" also includes park trailers, travel trail-
ers, and other similar vehicles placed on a site for
greater than 180 consecutive days.
(g) Manufactured home park or subdivision - a parcel (or Con-
ti wows arcels) of land divided into two or more manufac-
tured home lots for rent or sale.
(h) One Hundred Year Flood - a flood that, on the average, is
likely to occur once every 100 years (i.e., that has a one
percent chance of occurring each year, although the flood
may occur in any year).
(i) Start of construction - "start of construction" includes
"substantial im rovement" and means the date the building
ermit was issued rovided the actual start of construc
tion, re air, reconstruction, placement, or other improve-
ment was within 180 days of the permit date. The "actual
start" means either the first placement of permanent con-
struction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of
slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construc
tion of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excava-
tion; or the lacement of a manufactured home on a
foundation. Permanent construction does not include land
Yre aration, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor_
does it include the installation of streets and/or walk-
ways; nor does it include excavation for a basement,
footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of tempo
rar forms; nor does it include the installation on the
4
property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds
not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main
structure.
D. Floodplain area.
The various floodplain areas shall include areas subject to
inundation by waters of the one hundred (100) year flood. The
primary basis for the delineation of these areas shall be the
Flood Insurance Study for Roanoke County prepared by the H:S-
Bepa~t~ter~t- ef- Het~9ing- ane7- Hrban- Beye}epmer~t;Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration, dated
6eteber-l~;-19~8December 4, 1985 and subsequent amendments.
(a) The Floodway is delineated for purposes of this section
using the criteria that a certain area within the flood-
plain must be capable of carrying the waters of the one
hundred (100) year flood without increasing the water
surface elevation of that flood more than one (1) foot at
any point. These Floodways are specifically defined in
Table 2 of the above referenced Flood Insurance Study and
shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map accompanying
that study.
(b) The Flood-Fringe shall be that area of the 100-year flood-
plain not included in the Floodway. The basis for the
outermost boundary of the Flood-Fringe shall be the one
hundred (100) year flood elevations contained in the flood
profiles of the above referenced Flood Insurance Study and
as shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map accompany-
ing the study.
(c) The Approximated Floodplain shall be that floodplain area
for which no detailed flood profiles or elevations are
provided, but where a one hundred (100) year floodplain
boundary has been approximated. Such areas are shown on
the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and Flood Insurance
Rate Map. Where the specific 100-year flood elevation
cannot be determined for this area using other sources of
data such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Floodplain
Information Reports, U.S. Geological Survey Flood Prone
Quadrangles, etc., then the applicant for the proposed
use, development and/or activity shall determine this ele-
vation in accordance with hydrologic and hydraulic engi-
neering techniques. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
shall be undertaken only by professional engineers or
others of demonstrated qualifications, who shall certify
that the technical methods used correctly reflect current-
ly accepted technical concepts. Calculations for the
design flood shall be related to existing land use and
5
potential development under existing zoning. Studies,
analyses, computations, etc., shall be submitted in suffi-
cient detail to allow a thorough review by the County Engi-
neer.
E. Overlay concept.
(a) The Floodplain Areas described above shall be overlays to
the existing underlying Zoning Districts as shown on the
Official Zoning Map, and as such, the provisions for the
floodplain areas shall serve as a supplement to the under-
lying Zoning District provisions.
(b) Where there happens to be any conflict between the provi-
sions or requirements of any of the Floodplain Areas and
those of any underlying Zoning District, the more restric-
tive provisions shall apply.
(c) In the event any provision concerning a Floodplain Area is
declared inapplicable as a result of any legislative or
administrative actions or judicial discretion, the basic
underlying Zoning District provisions shall remain appli-
cable.
F. Flood boundary and floodway map.
The boundaries of the Floodplain Areas are established as shown
on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and Flood Insurance Rate
M~_which are declared to be a part of this chapter and which
shall be kept on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator.
G. Floodplain boundary changes and interpretation.
(a) The delineation of any of the floodplain areas may be
revised by the Board of Supervisors where natural or man-
made changes have occurred and/or made detailed studies
conducted or undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers or other qualified agency, or an individual docu-
ments the need for such change. However, prior to any
such change, approval must be obtained from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administra-
tion.
(b) Initial interpretations of the boundaries of the Flood-
plain Areas shall be made by the Zoning Administrator.
Should a dispute arise concerning the boundaries of any of
the floodplain areas, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall
make the necessary determination. The person questioning
6
or contesting the location of the floodplain area boundary
shall be given an opportunity to present his case to the
Board of Zoning Appeals and to submit technical evidence.
H. Floodplain area provisions.
All uses, activities, and development occurring within any flood-
plain area shall be undertaken only upon the issuance of a zoning
permit. Such development shall be undertaken only in strict com-
pliance with the provisions of this section and with all other
applicable codes and ordinances such as the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code and the Roanoke County Subdivision Ordi-
nance. Prior to the issuance of any such permit, the Zoning
Administrator shall require all applications to include compli-
ance with all applicable state and federal laws.
Under no circumstances shall any use, activity, and/or develop-
ment adversely affect the capacity of the channels or floodways
of any watercourse, drainage ditch, or any other drainage facil-
ity or system.
Prior to any proposed alteration or relocation of any channels or
floodways of any watercourse, stream, etc., within Roanoke
County, approval shall be obtained from the State Water Control
Board. Further notification of the proposal shall be given to
all affected adjacent jurisdictions. Copies of such notification
shall be forwarded to the State Water Control Board, the State
Department of Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration.
(a) All Floodplain Districts
(1) Required Information
For all permits
the elevation

tially improved
the Zoning Administrator shall
;in relation to mean sea leve
ncluding basement) of all new
structures, and whether or not
tures contain a basement, (ii) obtain, if the
has been floodproofed, the elevation (in relation to mean
sea level) to which the structure was floodproofed, and
(iii) maintain a record of all such information. Where a
non-residential structure is intended to be made water-
tight below the base flood level, (i) a registered profes-
sional engineer or architect shall develop and/or review
structural design, specifications, and plans for the con-
struction, and shall certify that the design and methods
of construction are in accordance with accepted standards
of practice for meeting the applicable provisions of the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, and (ii) a
SLL UG I,UL C

1) of the
or substan-
such struc-
7
record of such certificates which includes the specific
elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which such
structures are flood-proofed shall be maintained by the
Zoning Administrator.
(2) Zone A
The Zonin Administrator shall obtain review and reason-
ably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data
available from a Federal State or other source as cri-
teria for requiring that new construction ~ substantial
improvements, or other development in Zone A meets all
standards noted in the Floodplain section of this ordi-
nance.
(3) Service Facilities
Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-
conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall
be designed and/or located so as to prevent water from
entering or accumulating within the components during con
ditions of flooding.
(4) Manufactured Homes
All manufactured homes to be placed or substantially
improved within any floodplain district shall be elevated
on a ermanent foundation such that the lowest floor of
the manufactured home is at or above the base flood eleva-
tion and shall be securely anchored to an adequately
anchored foundation system in accordance with the provi-
sions of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
This provision shall apply to existing manufactured home
parks, subdivisions and lots where an existing manufac-
tured home is replaced, any expansion to an existing ark
or subdivision and to new arks subdivisions and instal-
lations constructed after the effective date of this or i-
nance.
(5) Area Below Lowest Floor
For all new construction and substantial improvements,
fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are
subject to flooding shall be designed to automatically
equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by
allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs
for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a
registered professional engineer or architect or must meet
or exceed the following minimum criteria: a minimum of
two openings having a total net area of not less than one
square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject

to flooding shall be provided The bottom of all openings
may be no higher than one foot above grade. Openings m~_
be egui ed with screens, louvers, or other coverings or
devices rovided that they permit the automatic entry and
exit of floodwaters.
Floodway
In the Floodway no development shall be permitted except
where the effect of such development on flood heights is
fully offset by accompanying improvements which have been
approved by all appropriate authorities as required above.
The placement of any meb~lemanufactured home, except
in an existing meb}lemanufactured home park or subdivi-
sion, within the Floodway is specifically prohibited.
Permitted Uses
In the Floodway the following uses and activities are
permitted provided that they are in compliance with the
provisions of the underlying Zoning District and are not
prohibited by any other ordinance and provided that they
do not require structures, fill, or storage of materials
and equipment:
(i) Agricultural uses such as general farming, pasture,
grazing, outdoor plant nurseries, horticulture,
truck farming, forestry, sod farming, and wild crop
harvesting.
(ii) Public and private recreational uses and activities
such as parks, day camps, picnic grounds, golf
courses, boat launching and swimming areas, hiking,
and horseback riding trails, wildlife and nature
preserves, game farms, fish hatcheries, trap and
skeet game ranges, and hunting and fishing areas.
(iii) Accessory residential uses such as yard areas,
gardens, play areas, and loading areas.
(iv) Accessory industrial and commercial uses such as
yard areas, parking and loading areas, airport land-
ing strips, etc.
Uses Permitted by Special Exception
The following uses and activities may be permitted by
Special Exception of the governing body following a public
9
hearing provided that they are in compliance with the
provisions of the underlying Zoning District and are not
prohibited by this or any other ordinance:
(i) Structures (except for r~el~~lemanufactured homes)
accessory to the uses and activities in (1) above.
(ii) Certain utilities and public facilities and improve-
ments such as pipe lines, water and sewage treatment
plants, and other similar or related uses.
(iii) Water-related uses and activities such as marinas,
docks, wharves, piers, etc.
(iv) Extraction of sand, gravel, and other materials
(where no increase in level of flooding or velocity
is caused thereby).
(v) Storage of materials and equipment provided that
they are not flammable or explosive, and are not
subject to major damage by flooding, or provided
that such material and equipment is firmly anchored
to prevent flotation or movement, and/or can be read-
ily removed from the area within the time available
after flood warning .
(vi) Other similar uses and activities provided they
cause no increase in flood heights and/or velocities.
All uses, activities, and structural development,
shall be undertaken in strict compliance with the
flood-proofing provisions contained in all appli-
cable codes and ordinances.
(c) Flood-Fringe and Approximated Floodplain
In the Flood-Fringe and Approximated Floodplain the devel-
opment and/or use of land shall be permitted in accordance
with the regulations of the underlying Zoning District
provided that all such uses, activities, and/or develop-
ment shall be undertaken in strict compliance with the
floodproofing and related provisions contained in the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and all other
applicable codes and ordinances.
However, in Approximated Floodplain areas the applicant
and/or developer shall evaluate the effects of the pro-
posed development and/or use of land on the floodplain
with current hydrologic and hydraulic engineering tech-
niques. The applicant and/or developer shall submit
studies, analysis, computations, etc. to show the delinea-
tion of a floodway based on the requirement that all exist-
ing and future development not increase the 100- year
10
flood elevation more than one (1) foot at any point. The
engineering principle, equal reduction of conveyance,
shall be used to make the determination of increased flood
height.
I. Procedures for Special Exception in Floodways.
(a) Any use listed as permitted with a Special Exception in a
floodway shall be allowed only after application to the
County Board of Supervisors. Such application shall
include the following:
(1) Plans in triplicate
100' horizontally s~
contours (at 5 foot
proposed structures,
sanitary facilities,
the proposal.
drawn to scale not less than 1" to
lowing the location, dimensions, and
intervals) of the lot, existing and
fill, storage areas, water supply,
and relationship of the floodway to
(2) A typical valley cross-section as necessary to adequately
show the channel of the stream, elevation of land areas
adjoining each side of the channel, cross-sectional areas
to be occupied by the proposed development, and 100-year
flood elevation.
(3) A profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel
or flow line of the stream.
(4) A summary report, prepared by professional engineers or
others of demonstrated qualifications, evaluating the pro-
posed project in relation to flood heights and velocities;
the seriousness of flood damage to the use; and other per-
tinent technical matters.
(5) A list of names and addresses of adjoining property
owners.
(b) The Board shall refer the complete application including
technical evaluation to the Planning Commission. The Plan-
ning Commission shall conduct such investigations as it
deems necessary and shall conduct a public hearing under
Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, as amended.
(c) In acting upon such applications, the Planning Commission
and the County Board of Supervisors shall consider all
relevant factors specified in other sections of this
chapter and:
11
(1) The danger to life and property due to increased flood
heights or velocities caused by encroachments. No special
exception shall be granted for any proposed use, develop-
ment, or activity within the Floodway that will cause any
increase in flood levels during the one hundred (100) year
flood .
(2 ) The danger that materials may be swept on to other lands
or downstream to the injury of others.
(3) The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the
ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamina-
tion, and unsanitary conditions.
(4) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its con-
tents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the
individual owners.
(5) The importance of the services provided by the proposed
facility to the County.
(6) The requirements of the facility for a waterfront loca-
tion.
(7) The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
(8) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing devel-
opment and development anticipated in the foreseeable
future.
(9) The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive
Plan and floodplain management program for the County.
(10) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for
ordinary and emergency vehicles.
(11) Such other factors which are relevant to the purpose of
this section.
(d) The Board shall conduct a public hearing after receipt of
a recommendation from the Planning Commission and render a
decision.
J. Variances.
Variances may be granted for the reconstruction, rehabilitation,
or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of
Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places without
regard to the procedures set forth in this section.
12
Variances may not be considered within any Floodway if any in-
crease in flood levels during the 100-year flood would result.
Variances may be considered for new construction and substantial
improvements to be erected on a lot contiguous to and surrounded
by lots with existing structures constructed below the 100-year
flood level using the guidelines set forth in Part I (c) of this
section above.
The Board of Zoning Appeals may refer any application and accompa-
nying documentation pertaining to any request for a variance to
any engineer or other qualified person or agency for technical
assistance in evaluating the proposed project in relation to
flood heights and velocities, and the adequacy of the plans for
protection and other related matters.
Variances shall only be issued after the Board of Zoning Appeals
has determined that the granting of such will not result in (a)
unacceptable or prohibited increases in flood heights, (b) addi-
tional threats to public safety, (c) extraordinary public
expense, (d) creation of nuisances (e) fraud or victimization of
the public, or (f) conflict with local laws or ordinances.
Variances shall only be issued after the Board of Zoning Appeals
has determined that the variance will be the minimum relief to
any hardship.
The Board of Zoning Appeals shall notify the applicant for a vari-
ance, in writing, that the issuance of a variance to construct a
structure below the one hundred (100) year flood elevation (a)
increases the risks to life and property, and (b) will result in
increased premium rates for flood insurance.
A record of the above notification as well as all variance
actions, including justification for their issuance, shall be
maintained and any variances which are issued shall be noted in
the annual report submitted to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, Federal Insurance Administration.
K. Existing structures in floodplain areas.
A structure or use of a structure or premises which lawfully
existed before the enactment of these provisions, but which is
not in conformity with these provisions may be continued subject
to the following conditions:
(1) Existing structures and/or uses located in the floodway
shall not be expanded or enlarged (unless the effect of
the proposed expansion or enlargement on flood heights is
fully offset by accompanying improvements).
13
(2) Any modification, alteration, repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of any kind to a structure and/or use located
in any floodplain to an extent or amount of less than
fifty (50) percent of its market value, shall be evaluated
and/or floodproofed in accordance with the Virginia Uni-
form Statewide Building Code.
(3) The modification, alteration, repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of any kind to a structure and/or use regard-
less of its location in a floodplain district to an extent
or amount of fifty (50) percent or more of its market
value shall be undertaken only in full compliance with the
provisions of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building
Code.
L. Liability.
The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this
section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is
based on acceptable engineering methods of study. Larger floods
may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by
man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings
restricted by debris. This section does not imply that areas
outside floodplain areas, or that land uses permitted within such
areas, will be free from flooding or flood damages.
This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of Roanoke
County or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages
that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative
decision lawfully made thereunder.
2. The effective date of this ordinance shall be
August 12, 1987.

hereby amended and re-enacted as follows:
1. Amend and re-enact Appendix A of the 1985 Roanoke
County Code, Zoning Ordinance, Article V, "Special Public Inter-
est Regulations", as follows:
ARTICLE V. SPECIAL PUBLIC INTEREST REGULATIONS
§ 21-61. Floodplains.
The purpose of these provisions is to prevent the following
hazards: the loss of life and property, the creation of health
and safety hazards, the disruption of commerce and governmental
services, the extraordinary and unnecessary expenditure of public
funds for flood protection and relief, and the impairment of the
tax base by the means provided here:
(a) Regulating uses, activities, and development which, acting
alone or in combination with other existing or future
uses, activities, and development, will cause unacceptable
increases in flood heights, velocities, and frequencies.
2
~~
(b) Restricting or prohibiting certain uses, activities, and
development from locating within areas subject to flood-
ing.
(c) Requiring all those uses, activities, and developments
that do occur in flood-prone areas to be protected and/or
flood-proofed against flooding and flood damage.
(d) Protecting individuals from buying lands and structures
which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood
hazards.
A. Applicability.
These provisions shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction
of Roanoke County and identified as being flood-prone as stipu-
lated in this section.
B. Compliance.
(a) No land shall hereafter be developed and no structure
shall be located, relocated, constructed, reconstructed,
enlarged, or structurally altered except in full compli-
ance with the terms and provisions of this section and any
other applicable ordinances and regulations which apply to
uses within the jurisdiction of this section.
(b) This ordinance supersedes any regulations currently in
effect in flood-prone areas. However, any underlying regu-
lations shall remain in full force and effect to the ex-
tent that those provisions are more restrictive.
C. Definitions.
For the purpose of the Floodplain Section of this ordinance,
these terms are defined as follows:
(a) Development - any man-made change to improved or unim-
proved real estate including but not limited to buildings
or other structures, the placement of mobile homes,
streets and other paving, utilities, filling, grading,
excavation, mining, dredging, or drilling operations.
(b) Flood - a general and temporary inundation of normally dry
land areas.
(c) Floodplain - (1) a relatively flat or low land area adjoin-
ing a river, stream, or watercourse which is subject to
3
~~ r
partial or complete inundation; (2) an area subject to the
unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters
from any source.
(d) Floodway - the designated area of the floodplain required
to carry and discharge flood waters of a given magnitude.
(e) Lowest floor - the lowest floor includes the lowest en-
closed area (including basement) of any structure. An
unfinished or flood resistant enclosure usable solely for
parking of vehicles, building access, or storage, in an_
area other than a basement area, is not considered a build
ing's lowest floor, provided that such enclosure is not
built so as to render the structure in violation of the
applicable non-elevation design requirements of this ordi-
nance.
(f) Manufactured home - a structure, transportable in one or
more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and
is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation
when connected to the required utilities. The term "manu-
factured home" also includes park trailers, travel trail-
ers, and other similar vehicles placed on a site_tor
greater than 180 consecutive days.
(g) Manufactured home park or subdivision - a parcel (or con-
tiguous parcels) of land divided into two or_more manufac-
tured home lots for rent or sale.
(h) One Hundred Year Flood - a flood that, on the average, is
likely to occur once every 100 years (i.e., that has a one
percent chance of occurring each year, although the flood
may occur in any year).
(i) Start of construction - "start of construction" includes
"substantial improvement" and means the date the building
permit was issued, provided the actual start of construc-
tion, repair, reconstruction, placement, or other improve-
ment was within 180 days of the permit date. The "actual
start" means either the first placement of permanent con-
struction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of
slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construc-
tion of columns, or any work beyond. the stage of excava-
tion; or the placement of a manufactured home on a
foundation. Permanent construction does not include land
preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor
does it include the installation of streets and/or walk-
ways; nor does it include excavation for a basement,
footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of tempo

property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds
not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main
structure.
D. Floodplain area.
The various floodplain areas shall include areas subject to
inundation by waters of the one hundred (100) year flood. The
primary basis for the delineation of these areas shall be the
Flood Insurance Study for Roanoke County prepared by the H:6-
Bepe~~tnea~ of netts}ae} a~e~ 8~ban Berme}ep~ea~;Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration, dated
Ae~ebe~ l~; }9~$December 4, 1985 and subsequent amendments.
(a) The Floodway is delineated for purposes of this section
using the criteria that a certain area within the flood-
plain must be capable of carrying the waters of the one
hundred (100) year flood without increasing the water
surface elevation of that flood more than one (1) foot at
any point. These Floodways are specifically defined in
Table 2 of the above referenced Flood Insurance Study and
shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map accompanying
that study.
(b) The Flood-Fringe shall be that area of the 100-year flood-
plain not included in the Floodway. The basis for the
outermost boundary of the Flood-Fringe shall be the one
hundred (100) year flood elevations contained in the flood
profiles of the above referenced Flood Insurance Study and
as shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map accompany-
ing the study.
(c) The Approximated Floodplain shall be that floodplain area
for which no detailed flood profiles or elevations are
provided, but where a one hundred (100) year floodplain
boundary has been approximated. Such areas are shown on
the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and Flood Insurance
Rate Map. Where the specific 100-year flood elevation
cannot be determined for this area using other sources of
data such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Floodplain
Information Reports, U.S. Geological Survey Flood Prone
Quadrangles, etc., then the applicant for the proposed
use, development and/or activity shall determine this ele-
vation in accordance with hydrologic and hydraulic engi-
neerinct techniques. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
shall be undertaken only by professional engineers or
others of demonstrated qualifications, who shall certify
that the technical methods used correctly reflect current-
ly accepted technical concepts. Calculations for the
design flood shall be related to existing land use and

potential development under existing zoning. Studies,
analyses, computations, etc., shall be submitted in suffi-
cient detail to allow a thorough review by the County Engi-
neer.
E. Overlay concept.
(a) The Floodplain Areas described above shall be overlays to
the existing underlying Zoning Districts as shown on the
Official Zoning Map, and as such, the provisions for the
floodplain areas shall serve as a supplement to the under-
lying Zoning District provisions.
(b) Where there happens to be any conflict between the provi-
sions or requirements of any of the Floodplain Areas and
those of any underlying Zoning District, the more restric-
tive provisions shall apply.
(c) In the event any provision concerning a Floodplain Area is
declared inapplicable as a result of any legislative or
administrative actions or judicial discretion, the basic
underlying Zoning District provisions shall remain appli-
cable.
F. Flood boundary and floodway map.
The boundaries of the Floodplain Areas are established as shown
on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and Flood Insurance Rate
M~which are declared to be a part of this chapter and which
shall be kept on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator.
G. Floodplain boundary changes and interpretation.
(a) The delineation of any of the floodplain areas may be
revised by the Board of Supervisors where natural or man-
made changes have occurred and/or made detailed studies
conducted or undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers or other qualified agency, or an individual docu-
ments the need for such change. However, prior to any
such change, approval must be obtained from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administra-
tion.
(b) Initial interpretations of the boundaries of the Flood-
plain Areas shall be made by the Zoning Administrator.
Should a dispute arise concerning the boundaries of any of
the floodplain areas, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall
make the necessary determination. The person questioning
6
_ 1..~ __
or contesting the location of the floodplain area boundary
shall be given an opportunity to present his case to the
Board of Zoning Appeals and to submit technical evidence.
H. Floodplain area provisions.
All uses, activities, and development occurring within any flood-
plain area shall be undertaken only upon the issuance of a zoning
permit. Such development shall be undertaken only in strict com-
pliance with the provisions of this section and with all other
applicable codes and ordinances such as the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code and the Roanoke County Subdivision Ordi-
nance. Prior to the issuance of any such permit, the Zoning
Administrator shall require all applications to include compli-
ance with all applicable state and federal laws.
Under no circumstances shall any use, activity, and./or develop-
ment adverGely affect the capacity of the channels or floodways
of any watercourse, drainage ditch, or any other drainage facil-
ity or system.
Prior to any proposed alteration or relocation of any channels or
floodways of any watercourse, stream, etc., within Roanoke
County, approval shall be obtained from the State Water Control
Board. Further notification of the proposal shall be given to
all affected adjacent jurisdictions. Copies of such notification
shall be forwarded to the State Water Control Board, the State
Department of Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration.
(a) All Floodplain Districts
(1) Required Information
For all permits the Zoning Administrator shall (i) obtain
the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the
lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substan-
tiall im roved structures, and whether or not such struc-
tures contain a basement, (ii) obtain, if the structure
has been flood roofed, the elevation (in relation to mean
sea level) to which the structure was floodproofed, and
(iii) maintain a record of all such information. Where a
non-residential structure is intended to be made water-
tight below the base flood level, (i) a registered profes-
sional engineer or architect shall develop and/or review
structural design, specifications, and plans for the con
struction, and shall certify that the design and methods
of construction are in accordance with accepted standards
of practice for meeting the applicable provisions of the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, and (ii) a

The Zonin Administrator shall obtain, review and reason-
ably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data
available from a Federal, State, or other source, as cri
teria for re uirin that new construction, substantial
improvements, or other development in Zone A meets all
standards noted in the Floodplain section of this ordi
nance.
Service Facilities
Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and_air-
conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall
be designed and/or located so as to prevent water from
entering or accumulating within the components during con
~ditions of flooding.

In the Flood-Fringe and Approximated Floodplain the devel-
opment and/or use of land shall be permitted in accordance
with the regulations of the underlying Zoning District
provided that all such uses, activities, and/or develop-
ment shall be undertaken in strict compliance with the
floodproofing and related provisions contained in the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and all other
applicable codes and ordinances.
However, in Approximated Floodplain areas the applicant
and/or developer shall evaluate the effects of the pro-
posed development and/or use of land on the floodplain
with current hydrologic and hydraulic engineering tech-
niques. The applicant and/or developer shall submit
studies, analysis, computations, etc. to show the delinea-
tion of a floodway based on the requirement that all exist-
ing and future development not increase the 100- year
10
,~-_ ~;~
flood elevation more than one (1) foot at any point. The
engineering principle, equal reduction of conveyance,
shall be used to make the determination of increased flood
height.
I. Procedures for Special Exception in Floodways.
(a) Any use listed as permitted with a Special Exception in a
floodway shall be allowed only after application to the
County Board of Supervisors. Such application shall
include the following:
(1) Plans in triplicate drawn to scale not less than 1" to
100' horizontally showing the location, dimensions, and
contours (at 5 foot intervals) of the lot, existing and
proposed structures, fill, storage areas, water supply,
sanitary facilities, and relationship of the floodway to
the proposal.
(2) A typical valley cross-section as necessary to adequately
show the channel of the stream, elevation of land areas
adjoining each side of the channel, cross-sectional areas
to be occupied by the proposed development, and 100-year
flood elevation.
(3) A profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel
or flow line of the stream.
(4) A summary report, prepared by professional engineers or
others of demonstrated qualifications, evaluating the pro-
posed project in relation to flood heights and velocities;
the seriousness of flood damage to the use; and other per-
tinent technical matters.
(5) A list of names and addresses of adjoining property
owners.
(b) The Board shall refer the complete application including
technical evaluation to the Planning Commission. The Plan-
ning Commission shall conduct such investigations as it
deems necessary and shall conduct a public hearing under
Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, as amended.
(c) In acting upon such applications, the Planning Commission
and the County Board of Supervisors shall consider all
relevant factors specified in other sections of this
chapter and:
11
-..~ ""
(1) The danger to life and property due to increased flood
heights or velocities caused by encroachments. No special
exception shall be granted for any proposed use, develop-
ment, or activity within the Floodway that will cause any
increase in flood levels during the one hundred (100) year
flood .
(2) The danger that materials may be swept on to other lands
or downstream to the injury of others.
(3) The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the
ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamina-
tion, and unsanitary conditions.
(4) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its con-
tents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the
individual owners.
(5) The importance of the services provided by the proposed
facility to the County.
(6) The requirements of the facility for a waterfront loca-
tion.
(7) The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
(8) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing devel-
opment and development anticipated in the foreseeable
future.
(9) The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive
Plan and floodplain management program for the County.
(10) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for
ordinary and emergency vehicles.
(11) Such other factors which are relevant to the purpose of
this section.
(d) The Board shall conduct a public hearing after receipt of
a recommendation from the Planning Commission and render a
decision.
J. Variances.
Variances may be granted for the reconstruction, rehabilitation,
or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of
Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places without
regard to the procedures set forth in this section.
12
z~ -
Variances may not be considered within any Floodway if any in-
crease in flood levels during the 100-year flood would result.
Variances may be considered for new construction and substantial
improvements to be erected on a lot contiguous to and surrounded
by lots with existing structures constructed below the 100-year
flood level using the guidelines set forth in Part I (c) of this
section above.
The Board of Zoning Appeals may refer any application and accompa-
nying documentation pertaining to any request for a variance to
any engineer or other qualified person or agency for technical
assistance in evaluating the proposed project in relation to
flood heights and velocities, and the adequacy of the plans for
protection and other related matters.
Variances shall only be issued after the Board of Zoning Appeals
has determined that the granting of such will not result in (a)
unacceptable or prohibited increases in flood heights, (b) addi-
tional threats to public safety, (c) extraordinary public
expense, (d) creation of nuisances (e) fraud or victimization of
the public, or (f) conflict with local laws or ordinances.
Variances shall only be issued after the Board of Zoning Appeals
has determined that the variance will be the minimum relief to
any hardship.
The Board of Zoning Appeals shall notify the applicant for a vari-
ance, in writing, that the issuance of a variance to construct a
structure below the one hundred (100) year flood elevation (a)
increases the risks to life and property, and (b) will result in
increased premium rates for flood insurance.
A record of the above notification as well as all variance
actions, including justification for their issuance, shall be
maintained and any variances which are issued shall be noted in
the annual report submitted to the Federal Emergency Management
A enc , Federal Insurance Administration.
R. Existing structures in floodplain areas.
A structure or use of a structure or premises which lawfully
existed before the enactment of these provisions, but which is
not in conformity with these provisions may be continued subject
to the following conditions:
(1) Existing structures and/or uses located in the floodway
shall not be expanded or enlarged (unless the effect of
the proposed expansion or enlargement on flood heights is
fully offset by accompanying improvements).
13
(2) Any modification, alteration, repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of any kind to a structure and/or use located
in any floodplain to an extent or amount of less than
fifty (50) percent of its market value, shall be evaluated
and/or floodproofed in accordance with the Virginia Uni-
form Statewide Building Code.
(3) The modification, alteration, repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of any kind to a structure and/or use regard-
less of its location in a floodplain district to an extent
or amount of fifty (50) percent or more of its market
value shall be undertaken only in full compliance with the
provisions of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building
Code.
L. Liability.
The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this
section is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is
based on acceptable engineering methods of study. Larger floods
may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by
man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings
restricted by debris. This section does not imply that areas
outside floodplain areas, or that land uses permitted within such
areas, will be free from flooding or flood damages.
This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of Roanoke
County or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages
that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative
decision lawfully made thereunder.
2. The effective date of this ordinance shall be
August 12, 1987.

DATE: August 11, 1987
As stipulated by Board Chairman, Bob Johnson, I am
submitting this report of my activities at the National
Association of Counties Conference which occurred in
Indianapolis, Indiana. My attendance dates were Saturday, July
11, 1987, through Monday, July 13, 1987.
IntergovernmentalfAffairsea d LocalaDetermitended was the
Committee at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. nation Steering
There were several discussions on on-going matters
before this group which included such topics as the use of
ACIR's, the problems with mandated reimbursement
liability insurance (1983) case programs, the
government emergency enforcement rel iefr fu aem s, a n d t h e l o c a l
These items can be discussed more specifically if
you so desire; however, there are some items which would
specifically apply to Roanoke Count
request by NACo to the Federal Governmentrtooconsiders he
"repair" of census data which could be challenged by local
governments and then used to justify certain funding or other
positive responses from the Federal Government. A prepared
resolution was passed by our committee and recommended to the
full body.
;,
There was an extensive disc~ission on solid waste
disposal which I will include in my report for some of Sunday's
activities.
There was also a discussion on the "electronic
bulletin board" being used in some states whereby a computer
networking system between local governments allowed each to know
what the other was doing in regard to all aspects of local
government. I might add that I have proposed and VACo has
passed, as of Sunday, a $10,000 expenditure to begin to network
in Virginia certain ordinances and other information between all
counties throughout the State. Once we have the initial program
in force we can expand it very easily and without too much
additional expense.
Moving on to the rest of the activities, in regard
to the intergovernmental affairs. and local determination steering
committee, there was an agreeme~it by the committee to take a look
at the problems with annexation on a national basis. It was
pointed out to this committee that not only in the State of
Virginia where there are independent cities, but throughout the
nation, annexation problems do exist for counties and should be
addressed. They will have to be divided into several cate ories
with a special exception made for the State of Virginia due to
the fact of its different local government structure.
The final act of the committee was to reduce its
name to the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
On Sunday morning, I attended a very worth-while
seminar which was tightly packed and had standin
was entitled "America's Garba a g-room only. It
county's future?" g - Is there a barge in every
This particular seminar dealt with the problems of
the barge that had originated in Isli
down the eastern coast and into the CaPibbe n beforeareturninglto
Islip for disposal. Some of the major concerns were landfills
and the eternal problem for all local governments. It was
specifically pointed out that counties should not readily assume
this responsibility for the immediate future without looking at
the long-range effects.
In particular, there was a discussion surrounding
the use in Babylon, New York of a "total waste disposal system"
which was a public-private partnershi
discussion about the Indianapolis-Mari n County experience
with a disposal system using county staff to collect but private
industry to dispose of the garbage which was quite successful.
In both Babylon, New York and Indianapolis, the experience was
that collection should be handled by the local government and
actual conversion to other energy sources or other uses of the
garbage should be "bid out" to private industry.
2
There was a discussion about the Martin, Mass, burn
system which resulted in the generation of electricity from
steam. Once again, the city delivered the garba e to a
site and from that point, the private sector t ook carer of uthe
conversion to energy.
The program then shifted emphasis and explained how
a local government or a combination of local
need to proceed to develop a landfill if thatvwasmtheschoice
of the government through a landfill development committee. It
was explained that this was very effective in the Indianapolis
experience because it included quite a large section of the
population to bring about the best location for the landfill.
The :speakers for this particular
Johannsen, Supervisor from Black Hawk CountyC Iowaa Harvey
Gershman, President of Gershman, Brickner, and Braton, in
Washington, D.C.; Barbara Gole~, Director,Department of Public
Works in Indianapolis; and Paul R. Morris, Waste and Energy
Coordinator in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina.
Mr. Morris explained that there was some increase in
the tipping fees at his landfill area, and paper was recycled.
Leaves, bark, tree limbs, etc. were reduced to mulch which was in
high demand by residents of the area and was sold and actually
made a small amount of money for the county. Mr. Morris went on
to explain that low cost landfills are a thing of the past and
counties in other local governments should begin to look very
closely at the possibilities for conversion to energy or other
products.
The afternoon session that I attended was in regard
to rural economic development and pointed at ways to diversify
the counties economy.
The one industry that was shown to be the most
productive and least difficult to implement was that of tourist
as we have discussed before. The creativity that is allowed to
come about when citizen groups began to think about their own
neighborhoods and how they can be promoted to the outside world
is one of the major attributes of such a mind set.
The speakers included John Kelley, Supervisor from
Essex County, New York; David Glasnapp, Supervisor from Emmet
County, Iowa; Michael Johns, Executive Director of Green Hill
Regional Planning Commission; Tom Slator, President of the State
Public Policy Group, Des Moines, Iowa; and Margaret Thomas,
Senior Resource Planner, Economics and Management Sciences
Department, Mid-West Research Institute, Kansas City, Missouri.
In regard to the tapping of local resources, the
group explained how peat, wool, or wood could all be used to turn
an area into a tourist industry by showing the methods for
growing or producing the products. There was also a strong
3
recommendation that local governments take a look at health care,
child care, mass transportation, housing and the care of the
elderly due to the rapidly increasing needs for these types of
services.
There was also strong emphasis placed on the need
for local development organizations within the private sector to
involve the private sector more with the economic planning for
local government.
On Monday morning, several national presidential
hopefuls came forth to speak about the importance of local
government to them as individuals and to the country as a whole.
The morning was topped off with a discussion and a speech by
President Reagan. It is note-worthy that this was the largest
convention of the National Association of Counties since its
inception more than fifty years ago. Because of the changes in
the Federal Government's structure, and the need for local
governments to become more responsible for delivering their own
services with less Federal help, the Federal Government is now
paying more attention to how this is being done by the local
governments.
On Monday afternoon, I tried to attend several
different meetings to get a general idea of the type of problems
that were facing local governments across the country. These
included risk financing and insurance for county governments,
and featured speakers from PENCO which is the Public Entities
National Company and is the insurance administrator for NACo.
There were as diverse programs as those discussing policy and
prevention of AIDS, to how to work on other aspects of solid
waste disposal, environmental regulations, and these types of
issues.
The most note-worthy piece of information that I
acquired was how dangerous it was to expand a landfill without
any of the precautions that will become enforceable laws within a
few years being included in such an expansion. I am particularly
complimentary of our Board for standing firm on the desire not to
expand our present combined landfill until the process has been
completed that we forced to begin just a few months ago. I hope
that the Board will look long and hard at any possibility of
expanding the landfill before actually agreeing to do so. There
are quite a few methods available and nothing more than a totally
exhaustive search will be acceptable to the future of Roanoke
County.

IN RE: WORR SESSIONS
`-nn~
ll O
July 14, 1987
1 Street Li ght Evaluation: Director or
Engineering Phillip Henry stated that prior to 1983, street
lights were requested by property owners and there wa:-~ little
review process. In 1983,the Board of Supervisors approved an
evaluation process which allowed for consistency in evaluating
the need, based primarily on traffic safety, but also including
pedestrian safety and crime. In 1986, Hayes, Seay, Mattern and
Mattern provided an independent review and found that the process
was generally satisfactory. They did point out several areas of
concern: One was that the process favors more rural areas,
because the more urban roads have been built under better highway
I~~,standards. Mr. Henry pointed out that the majority of the street
lights presently in the County were not installed under the
evaluation process. Based on the comments from Hayes, Seay,
Mattern and Mattern, the staff feels that the present evaluation
process is satisfactory, and they do not feel it would be
appropriate to remove the existing street lights. The County
also needs to pursue a cost-effective program as far as
change-out of the type of light fixtures in the County.
Supervisor Garrett asked if projects that are underway
to move individual street lights to better locations will
continue. Mr. Hodge responded that individual street lights will
be considered, but there will be no large relocation of street
lights. Supervisor McGraw advised he was concerned about
o0s
July 14, 1987
~~~
developments that have street lights installed while the property
is being sold, but removed when the subdivision is completed.
Supervisor Nickens was concerned that the County needs to be
able to respond to the problems in urban areas such as crime,
and pedestrian safety. The current policy does not address these
issues .
Mr. Hodge stated that the staff would prepare another
report in 30 to 45 days which will include urban and rural
evaluation policies, the possibility of private sector help,
requiring developers to install street lights, the cost to move
street lights to better locations, and the cost savings in light
sions.
2. Work Session on Methods of Refuse Collection:
John Hubbard, Assistant County Administrator, reported that the
fuse Collection operation has made many changes over the last
several years, and are now serving twice as many customers
with one-third the amount of staff. The staff has been studying
new methods for collection including the one man-bag collection,
a semi-automated collection, and an automated one-man collection.
The staff recommends the automated one-man collection service.
this method would use a refuse vehicle that is equipped with a
hanical arm that would be operated by the driver/collector.
the County would provide the residents with 98 gallon roll-out
~.~""1 nn
July 14, 1987 ~ O lJ
containers. This method would result in a substantia
cost-saving to the County. Mr. Hubbard stated that for those
who could not roll out the large containers, the C~~~unty would
continue to roll those containers to the curb for the resident.
These would include handicapped and elderly residents.
Supervisor Johnson reported that the Board members ha
been using the large containers and have had a generally positi
reaction to them from their families.
Supervisor Brittle inquired if the staff had studie
privatization. Mr. Hubbard responded they had studied this, an
the cost would be approximately $10.00 per month, but does no
include 'bulk or brush collection. Supervisor McGraw pointed ou
that even with privatization, the citizens would consider this
county service, and would register complaints through the County.
Supervisor Nickens was concerned that monthly brush and bul
collection would not serve the needs of the residents.
Mr. Hodge reported he had serious concerns and fel
this collection service could negatively impact the citizens, and
was not sure of the bottom-line savings that may be realized. He
pointed out that the areas presently using this system are flat
and have off-street parking regulations. However, Mr. Hodge will
support the Board's decision. Mr. Hodge requested that the Board
study his concerns for 30 days prior to taking a vote on the
issue.
o ~ s ~~
July 14, 1987
---T~ ---- -------- --------~-----
Mr. Hubbard advised they will have public meetings with
the residents who will be using the one-man refuse service in. the
pilot project, and that they will be working on the system until
October.
Supervisor Johnson stated that this issue will be voted
on under the New Business section of the agenda.
3. Work Session on Water System Acquisitions: Mr.
Hodge stated that due to time constraints, he would summarize
(this work session, and the Board can then vote on the issue under
'New Business. The staff has studied the sources of funds
available to acquire seven systems, is recommending acquisition
of five of these water systems, and has identified a funding'
source for the acquisition.
Supervisor Johnson stated he was concerned with then
County purchasing "marginal" water systems. Mr. Hodge suggested
that an ordinance be adopted that would tighten restrictions on
water systems.
IIN RE: NEW BUSINESS:
1. Update on the Explore Project: H. Bern Ewert,
Executive Director of the River Foundation was present to update
the Board members on the Explore Project and a video was shown

2. Recommendation for funding of Human Services
Agencies: Mr. Hodge reported this item will allocate the
$20,000funds included in the budget to those agencies who have
applied for funding. The requests were reviewed by the Human
Services Committee, and they had expressed concern that there
were no additional funds allocated. Mr. Hodge pointed out that
$25,000 was allocated to Total Action Action Against Poverty and
$69,984 was allocated for Mental Health Services of. the Roanoke
Valley for a total of almost $115,000 allocated to human service..
agencies this year. Mr.:Hodge stated he had reviewed the
requests with Betty Lucas, Director of Social Services. The,
staff is recommending that the funds be allocated on the same pro
rata share as last year.
Supervisor Nickens stated he had no problems with the
proposed allocation, but was concerned about spending an equal
amount of money for cultural programs.

cleaning services provided by Oxford during the past year and
based on these complaints, the bid went to American Chemical
Q1~
July 14, 1987
-/
Company. Mr. Mahoney introduced Charles Center, the attorney fort
Oxford Cleaning Services.
Mr. Center advised that his client did not knoFr their
services were deemed inadequate because they were not told.
The contract for Oxford Services provided that the County would
make inspections. In December 1986, a registered letter was sent
to the County asking for a quality Rating Survey. The County did
not respond to this request. However, there was internal county
correspondence asking county staff to list where Oxford Services
failed to meet contract specifications. The contract provided
that the County was to make monthly inspections and unacceptable
work was to be brought to the attention of the contractor and
given two days to correct. Only once has the County requested a
credit for services and that was because of snow when the
contractor was unable to provide services. In May 1987, another
Quality Rating Survey was sent to the County. There was no
response to this request. All concerns were handled through!,
internal memos and never communicated with Oxford. Oxford
Cleaning Services was the low bidder and should receive the bid.
Supervisor Johnson pointed out that the County does not
always have to award the contract to the lowest bidder for
lyarious reasons, and one of them is performance of duties.
Supervisor Nickens asked Mr. Mahoney if there was
!documented evident that Oxford was not performing. Mr. Mahoney
oY7
_=-i
July 14 , 19 8 7 ~ .-~ -- /
responded that he has testimony from Roy Nester, Director of
Buildings and Grounds. Supervisor Garrett asked if the
contractor had to be notified in writing, and Mr. Mahoney
responded that the contract only specified notification, and did.
not specify the manner.
Supervisor Garrett moved to deny the bid protest. Thel
motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw, and carried by thel
following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Brittle, Garrett, McGraw, Nickens, Johnson
NAYS: None
6. Protest of Bid by Valley Communications: Mr.
Mahoney announced that he has received notification from Pat
Whitescarver, who is representing Valley Communications, and he
has requested that this item be postponed until August 11, 19871
because he will be out of town.
Supervisor Brittle moved to postpone until August 11,
1987. The motion was seconded by Supervisor McGraw and carried
by a unanimous voice vote.

systems to a level that would provide service to the citizens.,)
and will that upgrade include adequate piping for pressure for
fire protection, and are there legal problems in acquiring an
inadequate system. Mr. Craig responded that Sherry Court is the
only inadequate system, and the other systems compare with the
average County system as far as quality, fire flow service and)
source. Sherry Court is totally inadequate and would require
money to connect to our system.
Supervisor Brittle moved to approve the acquisition of
the Cherokee Hills, Crescent Heights, Sherry Court, Forest Edge

Supervisor McGraw and carried by the following recorded vote:

handled administratively. It is been discovered that this cannot
be done, and the attorney for the petitioners has requested that
,this be heard on July 28, 1987

At 5:20 p.m., Supervisor Johnson moved to go into
Executive Session pursuant to the Code of Virginia pursuant to
the Code of Virginia 2.1-344 (a) (1) to consider a personnel
matter, the evaluation of the County Attorney and County
IlAdministrator, (2) to consider a real estate matter, the airport

SIN RE: OPEN SESSION
The Board returned to open session at 6:20 p.m.
SIN RE: NEW BUSINESS
1. Old Courthouse Litigation: Mr. Mahoney advised
that the Board of Supervisors is being sued by a group of
citizens concerning the sale of the old Courthouse. Mr. Mahonevi
advised that three actions should be taken in regard to this
action. One issue concerns whether the building was surplus and
whether the Board considered other uses for that structure, and
he had researched the previous discussions concerning these ~
July 14, 1987
0 2 '7
~..._ °,,.. l
matters. The County Attorney recommended that the Board rati
that the Courthouse is surplus, and that the Board consider
other uses for the structure which are being contemplated by th
Extension Office, the Registrar and hopefully the Court o
Appeals.
Supervisor Johnson moved to ratify and confirm that th
old courthouse is surplus in relation to the use for whic
acquired, and that the old courthouse has been made available f
other public uses by contract with Roanoke College through leas
for the Extension Service, the Registrar and the intent
negotiate a lease for the Court of Appeals; and that other publi
uses were considered in comparison to the costs, need an
limitations to the County. This ratification that the propert
is surplus, and confirmation that other public uses fo
property have been considered by the Board are apparent from th
procedures followed and the actions taken by the County, not onl
for this transaction, but also for all real estate conveyances
The motion was seconded by Supervisor Nickens, and carried by th
following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors~Brittle, Garrett, McGraw, Nickens, Johnson
NAYS: None
Mr. Mahoney stated the second issue is the use of th
funds from the sale of the old Courthouse. To correct this, th
County Attorney recommended that this be identified for a capital
facility project and amend the original budget appropriation.
Supervisor Garrett moved to identify the use of $200,000
~~of the purchase price of the old Courthouse for capital facility,
projects, amending the original budget appropriation approved on
May 28, 1987. The 1987-88 budget currently includes an
appropriation in the Capital Fund in the amount of $175,000 for
the renovation of the Southview Public Safety Building. An
~~additional appropriation of $25,000 to the Capital Fund, combined
with this $175,000 for the Southview facility would equal the
$200,000 that would be paid to the County by Roanoke College in
fiscal year 197-88. This additional $25,000 appropriation is
from the fund balance. The motion was seconded by Supervisor
McGraw, and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Brittle, Garrett, McGraw, Nickens, Johnson
NAYS : None
Mr. Mahoney advised the third action would ratify tha
any future receipts be allocated to the Capital Facilities Fund.
Mr. Hodge asked that the motion exclude those transaction made b~
prior commitments. Mr. Mahoney agreed, stating there wer
contain commitments such as sale of property for the schoo
hoard, for volunteer rescue squads, and industrial developmen
purposes.

Supervisor McGraw moved to ratify that any futur
receipts from sales of capital facilities will be appropriated t
the Capital Facilities Fund to be expended for tl-e acquisition
construction, maintenance or replacement of other capita
facilities projects unless another disposition is required b
prior contractual commitment. The motion was seconded b
Supervisor Garrett, and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Supervisors Brittle, Garrett, McGraw, Nickens, Johnson
NAYS: None
Mr. Mahoney recommended that he could now go forward a
request that the court dismiss the suit because the Board o
Supervisors has now responded to the concerns raised an
corrected any problems that were identified.
2. Establishment of Salaries of County Administr~
and County Attorney:
Supervisor Johnson moved that the salary of the Count
Administrator be raised five percent from his 1986/87 salary an

Office of the President

HORSHAM, PA 19044
The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) is committed to the
goal of bringing the World Cup soccer matches to this country.
That objective presents numerous challenges, but it is a worthy
goal that will focus the international sports spotlight on the
United States, like the Olympics has, and generate enormous
financial rewards for this country.
Soccer is by far the most popular sport around the world except
for the United States. The World Cup is held every four years
and it consists of 52 games leading up to a championship match
four weeks after the games start.
During the last World Cup, held in Mexico in 1986, the final
match was televised live to a world-wide audience of 600 million
people. These ratings, which are five times higher than the 1986
Super Bowl between the Chicago Bears and the New England
Patriots, are also the best ratings ever for a televised event.
Soccer is flourishing at all levels and has become the fastest-
growing team sport in America's colleges. In fact, the number of
institutions which currently sponsor soccer programs exceeds the
number of those which sponsor football programs.
Soccer has also experienced a remarkable increase in popularity
among the young people of America. Not only does the game teach
discipline and teamwork, but it is also a great form of
recreation and physical fitness.
Nearly half of the 5 million Americans now playing soccer are
under the age of 20 and the number of youngsters playing soccer
has increased ten-fold in the last 12 years.
Soccer is also big business and the economic gains from hosting
the 1994 World Cup would be staggering. Currently, soccer is a
$1 billion a year business in this country. When you multiply
that figure times the gate receipts, marketing and advertising
revenues, tourist dollars and many other benefits associated with
the World Cup, it is easy to see why so many nations are battling
to host this international event.
In addition to all the financial rewards, this country would also
benefit a great deal from all the favorable international
publicity, and the good feelings which would naturally result
_ _ .. ~~~`
from such a wholesome occasion. Hosting the World Cup in 1994
would produce positive repercussions lasting well into the 21st
century.
To win the right to host the World Cup, the United States Soccer
Federation must prove to the international governing body, the
Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), that
there is a huge amount of grassroots support for soccer in this
country. The USSF must convince FIFA that the World Cup will be
played before packed stadiums of enthusiastic fans.
Resolutions promoting soccer and supporting the World Cup bid
enacted by County Governing Boards is vital to USSF's successful
demonstration of that support.
The Resolution would be a type of "welcome mat" to FIFA, as well
as the soccer teams, coaches, and officials who will participate
in the matches.
You can help by enacting a Resolution from your county and
sending it to World Cup USA 1994 by July 15th so it can be
included in the USSF's official presentation to the FIFA in
September. Attached is a sample Resolution for your
consideration.

o Second round matches attracted 430,000 spectators to
8 games, making for an average of 54,000.

o The 1986 games drew a total television audience of 12.8
billion - more than any previous World Cup.
o The Final match drew one of the largest TV audiences
ever recorded: approximately 580 million people, from
160 countries.
o In West Germany, 17 million people saw their team play
Mexico, live, in the quarter-final -- even though it
was broadcast between midnight and 2 in the morning --
thus setting another TV record (for the largest ever
television audience during this time segment).
o The Final achieved a TV rating of 4.1 making it the
highest scoring sports event on that day, despite
heavy competition from traditional American sports.

L - ~f
Background and rationale for the United States to Host the 1994
World Cup,
Soccer's World Championship for National Teams
At the 1984 Olympics held in the United States, soccer achieved
the distinction of attracting 1.4 million spectators for its
games, representing 25~ of the total Olympic attendance, the
largest attendance of all sports. The artistic, sporting and
financial success of the 1984 Olympics and, in particular, the
soccer program, has provided convincing evidence that the United
States is now in a position to successfully host the 1994 World
Cup on behalf of the world governing body for soccer; the
Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), for the
following reasons:
1. The United States sporting public, and its media, corporate
and civic structure are "big event" oriented, as indicated
not only by the support of the 1984 Olympics, but also by
the enthusiasm and interest in the Super Bowl, World Series,
College Bowls and other National Championship events, and
they would therefore respond and benefit substantially from
a range of opportunities for involvement in the 1994 World
Cup.
2. The facilities available throughout the nation meet the
basic requirement that the 52 "World Cup '94" soccer games
shall he played in 12 stadia, each of which is capable of
seating 60,000 - 100,000 spectators, selected from more than
20 such facilities in existence in or near major urban
communities.
3. The structure of American society and the importance of the
World Cup, regarded as the major sporting event in the world
based on attendance, media coverage and public interest and
awareness, would be expected to produce the most successful
World Cup event staged to date in terms of attendance,
profits, and international corporate and media support.
4. Having qualified more than any other nation in the world for
the World Youth Championships for under 16 and under 20 year
old players, the American players who would be available for
selection for the U.S. National Team, an automatic qualifier
for World Cup '94 as host nation, have proven that they have
the necessary skill and will have had sufficient
international experience to compete effectively in World Cup
'94.
5. The announcement of the award of World Cup '94 to the United
States, which would be made on June 30, 1988, would further
stimulate the growth of the sport at the youth, amateur and
professional levels, and provide a broad range of
L-~
opportunities for staging events and promoting the sport,
particularly during the remaining 6 year period leading up
to World Cup '94.
6. The world wide interest in the World Cup, with games held in
12 major metropolitan areas throughout the United States
would provide the reason and opportunity to promote and
substantially increase tourism across the nation, including
the attraction of thousands of visitors from other
countries, for at least the 4 week duration of this major
sporting event.
7. By playing the games in 12 locations distributed throughout
the United States, the majority of the American public would
have the opportunity to experience and participate in the
international good will and friendship which prevails at
this major sporting event throughout the four weeks of
competition.
8. The build up in interest and enthusiasm for World Cup '94
would provide the United States with a broad range of
opportunities to engage in international relations and
diplomatic activities for many years prior to and also
during the event, involving the political and business
leadership of the United States and nations throughout the
World.
9. The hosting of the World Cup would provide the political
leadership of the United States with the opportunity,
commencing in June 1988, to unite the interests of and
communicate effectively with so many diverse segments of the
United States population in the common cause of warmly
welcoming the world to our country, thereby creating greater
harmony and understanding among our people who originate
from varied ethnic backgrounds.
10. The 12 metropolitan locations in which World Cup games would
be played would enjoy similar benefits to those experienced
by Los Angeles, the host city for the 1984 Olympics,
including the opportunity to stage supporting activities of
particular appeal to the local residents, the visiting teams
and their fans.
11. The staging of World Cup '94 under the auspices of the
United States Soccer Federation (USSF) would produce
substantial profits, 25$ of which would be retained by the
USSF, in addition to the profits generated in years prior to
World Cup '94 by staging special events, all of which would
be allocated by the USSF to the continued development of_
soccer in the iJnited States.
12. The award of World Cup '94 to the United States would:
a. establish soccer as a truly major sport in the United
States, thereby making the United States a_leader in
the world sport, among all other nations in the world;
and
b. generate stronger U.S. corporate, television and other
media participation in soccer and, in particular,
provide a much greater inner city awareness for a sport
that has, to date, developed in the grass roots of_
suburban America.
Summary
International sports, and particularly soccer as the most popular
sport in the world, really have no barriers among the people of
the world. Activities staged amidst the comradery of major
sporting events such as the World Cup therefore experience an
atmosphere of friendship and understanding.
The staging of the World Cup in the United States over a 4 week
period in 1994 would be expected to do more good for our nation
in regard to international relationships in business and politics
over the next seven years than any other single activity. There
is not segment of American society which would not benefit from
this undertaking, and it would play major part in closing any gap
in human, business and political understanding which exists
between the United States and the rest of the world.

Association, soccer's international governing body) of its
intention to submit a proposal to the world body for hosting the
event. Soccer's 1990 World Cup has been scheduled for Italy.
Fricker indicated the Federation and the United States is
well equipped to handle the challenge of staging the world's
biggest sporting event.
"Soccer is the world's most popular sport and, although the
United States has never hosted a World Cup, the increasing
participation and enthusiasm in LT.S. soccer combined with the
commitment of corporate sponsors, government officials and the
general public provide the best opportunity ever for our
selection by FIFA," Fricker said.
Ir. was further stated by Fricker that "the huge success of
soccer as the ton spectator attraction at the 1984 Los Angeles
Olympic Games is convincing evidence that this big-event oriented
nation is ready to host the most closely followed and most highly
publicized world event, the FIFA World CuD. Should the United
States he fortunate to become the host nation for 1994, soccer at
all levels in this country would become a mayor focal point f.or
local, national and international media during its six-year
build-up and this would he of great benefit to the game and the
country as a whole as soccer continues to develop throughout
the United States."
Soccer at the 1984 L.A. Olympics drew a cumulative audience
of 1,422,605 spectators--almost one-third of the entire ticket-
buying audience at the Games--and outdistanced the more visible
sports of athletics (track ~ field), basketball, swimming and
volleyball in the process. Included in that total was a Rose
Bowl crowd of 101,799 for the Gold Medal matchup between France
and Brazil.
The tJ.S. Soccer Federation's Executive Committee acted in
advance of the organization's annual meeting scheduled for the
July 4th weekend in Colorado Springs, so that reports could be
made to the membership at that time on the progress of obtaining
the necessary stadium and corporate financial commitments.
Fricker said that he and the Executive Committee are
"confident that the United States bid will generate the
enthusiastic support needed to meet the overall criteria required
by FIFA for hosting of the tournament."
Soccer's world Cup championship brines together 24
qualifying national teams with the host country's team gainine7 an
automatic berth in the tournament. Scheduled over a 25- to 30-
day period, the 52 games of the tournament to be played in the
1994 World Cup would probably be held during the month of June if
held in the United States.
Three other countries, Chile, Brazil and Morocco, are also
vying for the r'_ght to host the 1994 World Cup. FZFA's decision
on the country selected will be announced June 30, 1988.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANORE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE•
August 11, 1987
SUBJECT: Request for an Increase in the Y~UTH HAVEN II Petty Cash Account
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On December 12, 1986, the Board approved the establishment of a petty cash
fund in the amount of $200 to cover residents' allowances and emergency
purchases or reimbursements on a cash basis.
Since that time, we have found that we also have to draw money for
our recreational activities from our petty cash fund. The reason for
this is that we cannot obtain an advance check from our recreation budget
because we do not know the exact amount to be spent or have a receipt for
the expenditure before engaging in the activity.
Therefore, I am requesting that our petty cash fund be increased to
$300. This additional $100 will be charged back to our recreation account
and aFlow a sufficient cash flow to cover these activities.
F I SCAL I MPAC~: -
None -
RECOMMENDATION:
-Staff recommends an increase in the amount of the Y~UTH HAVEN II petty
cash fund from $200 to $300. This change requires a specific action of
the Board of Supervisors and is audited annually by our independent auditors.

The Arts Council of Roanoke Valley has begun its 11th year of service
as a promoter, fiscal agent, occasional (under and supporter of all arts
groups in the Valley.
Although we are based at Center in the Square, we increasingly see
our mission as one of service, support and advocacy for cultural groups,
large-.and smsll,:throughout the area,
This past year, for example, we have made small financial awards for
neW projects to ~fcur arts groups: . Artemis and The~Acting Co~apany for a
collaboration in April; the Roanoke S;~mphony, for a future special per-
f~rmance for hearing and sight-impaired children, and the Virginia Water-
color Society . for its v.ery..successful Walter_ Biggs exhibit _in._Pecember
~t Roanoke College.
Our current activities include the third annual Perry F. Kend~b Award
to ?;e held May 7 at Roanoke College (with awards this year to a business
.for outstanding support of the arts and to a teacher for lifetime service
to the arts); the City Art Show in Roanoke, open to all Valley artists and
the hanging of past art show winners at the Roanoke City Courthouse.
We produce a monthly calendar of cultural events that covers the
entire area. Our 55 members include virtually all local arts groups, as
well as business, college, school, church, medical and library groups with
interests in the arcs,
Through our library, ae provide information ranging from grants an3
foundation applications to the calendars and activities o` a wide variety
of Virginia ar*_s groups. We share our artist' list of some 800 names with
our member,;, daily answer dozers of queries or. every aspect of the a=ts, and
mail prospectuses for a variety of art coW..retitions all over the state.
To spun up, we provide a focal point for local. arts activities and
offer a broad range of arts information. We intend tc e:.co::rage even more
participation in and a~areness of th` grcaing r.;:mbe, o* arts re:.csrces we
have in the Roanoke Valley.

With the imminent hiring of a new executive director, we hope to
work more closely with local governments and local and regional business
groups to aggressively promote the dazzling array of cultural activities
going on all over our valley.
Therefore, we are seeking some financial assistance from local gov-
ernments. (We continue to apply for and receive grant money from the
Virginia Commission for the Arts.)
We..ar~``respectfti7ly~ asking that Roanoke County consider a request from
The°~rts Council of $3,300, based on a pro-rated share of the valley popu-
;.~~"lation. For your information, we have.~requested $5,000 from the City of
:,, _
Roanoke Yand $1, 750 from the,..City~~'o"f~~Salem.
Thank you for your serious consideration of our request.

P. 0. Box 3800
Roanoke, Virginia 24015
Dear Bob:
We have completed our third successful year of operation here
at Center in the Square. Attached is a brief summary of some of
our 1986 highlights. We are particularly pleased that last year
we served more than 12,000 Roanoke County school students in
expanding their educational horizons.
Our needs for the coming fiscal year are more demanding than in
the present year. One obvious reason is the increase in expenses
due to the effects of inflation. In addition, as you likely know,
we have recently purchased the Phelps Armistead furniture .building
on Church Avenue. This building will permit us. to expand the
programs currently being offered here, with perhaps other programs
being added. We will need to -raise capital funds of well over
$1,000,000.00 to pay for this building and its remodeling. Further,
our operating costs for this new facility will increase our
operating costs approximately $100,000.00 a year.
We surely would not be able to offer the superb programs of our
three museums, theatre and planetarium without the generous
support of the County of Roanoke.. We respectfully ask that the
County continue its grant support~to us for our fiscal year
commencing July 1, 1987.- In view of our significantly increased
capital and operating costs, we would appreciate your increasin
your support- to $58,000.OQ_
Attached are (1) our audited Financial Statements for the fiscal
year 1985-86, and (2) our financial statement for the period
July-December 1986. If you need further information or would
like for our representative to appear before the Board of
Supervisors at its budget studies, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Blacksburg and the Roanoke Valley are moving closer together every day.
I have been over your way the past few weeks encouraging support for a project
that should move us even closer, a better road connection. You can expect to
be hearing from Roanoke Valley citizens soon. This letter is meant to fill
you in on what we have in mind.
As I may have mentioned to you, the town of Blacksburg, in cooperation
with Virginia Tech and The River Foundation, has employed Mattern and Craig to
provide us with preliminary engineering information evaluating various alter-
native methods to reduce the travel time between Blacksburg and the Roanoke
Valley. They looked at three basic alternatives (see enclosed map). The
three alternatives would not only reduce travel time to the Roanoke Valley but
would also relieve congestion in the Route 460 corridor between Blacksburg and
Christiansburg, a rapidly growing area of Montgomery County.
Based on the results of an origin and destination study Mattern and Craig
completed in February, over one-fourth of the traffic on Route 460 is moving
to and from I-81 (see Table 1).
Table 1
Origin and Destination Study Results
Total traffic count 29,900 vehicles per day
Direct traffic Blacksburg - I-81 7,863 vehicles per day (26.37)
Total survey sent 14,000
Surveys returned 4,750 (36~)
Using this data as a base, Mattern and Craig developed the traffic volumes for
each of the three alternatives shown on the map (see Table 2).

saved by Alternatives B and C and the cost per mile may seem expensive. Why
spend $115-120 million to save five minutes? We are not really talking about
five minutes. When you are not actually on I-81 between Blacksburg and
Roanoke, you cannot go 55 miles per hour. During peak hours you sometimes do
not move at all. Alternatives B and C move the Roanoke Valley traffic out of
the local corridor and provide a direct four-lane divided highway between
Blacksburg and I-81. Both B and C also provide direct links to the Virginia
Tech Corporate Research Center. We see the project as a major economic
development pipeline between your valley and Virginia Tech.
Aside from cost, distance and time saved, economic impacts, and ability
to address congestion problems, each alternative has environmental impacts.
Table 5 summarizes the impact of the alternatives on business and residential
relocations.

Alternative C will also have to meet significant environmental tests because
it follows the path of the North Fork of the Roanoke River and will be in
flood plain areas.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has included $1.2
million in their six-year plan to begin their own study of the problem. We
welcome this decision but are concerned that VDOT will not look at the long-
range solutions and will not give much weight to the economic development
impacts. We are also bothered that both the Christiansburg Town Council and
the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors endorsed Alternative A before
Mattern and Craig developed the origin and destination data. Christiansburg
would, of course, benefit economically from Alternative A and are not too
concerned about whether Blacksburg residents can move quickly to I-81 and
points beyond.
I know that this is a lot of information to absorb and we are only at the
preliminary stages of the project, but in talking strategy with Jack Hancock
and Dick Cranwell, we believe that early support by Roanoke Valley leaders can
assist us in overcoming the objections of VDOT and Christiansburg's narrow
concerns. We might want to arrange private meetings between Blacksburg and
Roanoke Valley elected local government officials to set the stage for public
positions.

A • 9ACK6R0 iNn
The Town of Blacksburg, Virginia, is located
approximately 40 miles west of Roanoke in Montgomery
County. It is the home of Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) with an
enrollment of approximately 20,000 students, The
overall population of Blacksburg, including the Tech
students, is 32,000,
The mayor highutay transportation link serving
Blacksburg anfi Virginia Tech is U.S,
Route 460. It
connects with Interstate Route 81 about 7.5 miles south
of town in Christiansburg, Virginia. Route 460 is
classified as an arterial route in the Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) highway system and
is a 4-lane facility,
During the last few years the Route 460 corridor has
become more congested with traffic as new development
has occured and Virginia Tech has grown in size. As a
result, the Charnbers of Commerce, Virginia Tech and the
local governing bodies, Mont omer
g Y County and the Towns
of Blacksburg and Christiansbur
g. have coined together
and requested the VDOT to take steps to help alleviate
the traffic problem. Since no ma or

This Study is Just one ste in the lannin
p p 9 process.
Its intent is to provide preliminary information on traffic
volumes, environmental impacts, and construction costs for a
Route 460 Corridor Study in Montgomery County, Virginia.
Concern over traffic congestion on existing Route 460
and the desire for a more direct route of travel between
Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and the Roanoke Valley led to this
study, The results of an Origin and Destination Survey
conducted in con)uction with the study revealed there were
aRproximately 9,400 vehicles per day in 1986 traveling
between Blacksburg and Roanoke, This figure is projected to
increase to 15,000 vehicles per day in the design year
• selected for the study as 2007.
Three alternative corridors previously considered for
providing a more direct route between Blacksburg--Virginia
Tech and the Roanoke Valley were included in the study.
Alternate A, developed by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT), is estimated to have a construction
cost of X40,000,000 excluding right-of-way and relocation
assistance and is the least expensive of the three
alternates studied, Alternates B (641 Plan) and C (603
Plan) are estimated to have construction costs of
~115,G00,000 and $120,000,000, respectively,
i
B• SCOPE OF ~Tiinv
The scope of the study includes the following,
- Assembly of existing data relative to previous
studies, traffic data, and mapping.
- Preparation of 1"=400' scale aerial mosaic scrolls
for corridor study alignments.
- Collection of traffic data through an
origin-destination survey.
- Development of functional plan alignments, grades
and construction cost estimates for the VDOT, 603.
and 641 plans,
- Evaluation of the three alternates with respect to
design features, traffic data, and construction
costs.
- Submittal of letter report on preliminary
findings,, evaluations, and construction costs
along with i"=400' scale mapping scrolls depicting
alignments and grades of alternates studied.
II. EXISTING CONDITinN~
A. ROUT_ E 460
From the southern tip of Blacksburg where the Route 460
Bypass and Route 460 Business Route intersect to the
intersection of I-81 in Christiansburg, Route 460
consists of four lanes. From Blacksburg to the split
between Route 460 Business and Route 460 Bypass of
4
Christiansburg, a distance of about 3.2 miles, Route
460 is a four-lane divided, uncontrolled access
facility with three signalized at-grade intersections.
The 460 Bypass of Christiansburg is a four-lane
divided, controlled access facility, This section of
Route 4b0 is about 2.7 miles in length. It terminates
at Route 11 with a signalized at-grade intersection.
Frorn this intersection to route I-81 is approximately
1,5 miles. The roadway is four lanes with a flush
median to accommodate left turning vehicles into strip
commercial development.
B • TRAFF I C VO I IMF,
Data relative to present traffic volumes on the
existing highway system was obtained from the VDOT
publication entitled. "Average Daily Traffic Y0liimr~g nn
Interstate. Arterial and Pr9marv RouteR 1985 The
publication containing 1986 volumes will not be
available until June 1987. Figure 2 depicts the 1985
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes on .the major routes
in the study area.
To supplement these volumes, 24-hour automatic recorder
counts were made over a two week period on U.S, Route
460 immediately south of the Montgomery Regional
HosRital in Blacksburg. Figures 3 thru 6 summarize
these hourly volume directional counts for the
eastbound and westbound lanes.
In addition to the automatic recorder counts, vehicle
classification counts were made over a 24-hour period
to determine the characteristics of the traffic.
Figures 7 and 8 show the make-up of the traffic volumes
for the eastbound and westbound lanes as recorded on
March 3, 1987.

C. TRAFFIC PATT RNS
Other than the number of vehicles on the existing
roadways, no information was available on the origin or
destination of the traffic. This type of data is
necessary for planning purposes and particularly in the
location, design, and programming of new or improved
highway facilities.
To obtain this type of information for the study, a
license plate origin-destination (0 & D) survey was
conducted. A roadside interview 0 & D was originally
planned, but the VDOT felt the magnitude of the traffic
volumes might cause some public relations and safety
problems for them. Therefore, it was agreed that the
license plate survey method should be utilized to
collect the data,
Tuesday, March 3, 1987, was selected as the day for
conducting the survey. The observation point chosen
for the survey was the signalized intersection on Route
460 with State Secondary Route 775, the entrance into
the Montgomery Regional Hospital. The survey was
basically conducted during the daylight hours (7s00
A.M. 700 P.M.).
Working in cooperation with Virginia Tech, the student
chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) provided 41 students to assist in the survey.
The license plate technique involved recording the full
license plate numbers, identifying vechicle ownership
from registration records, and sending a mail-back
questionnaire to each owner. A copy of the form used
to record the license plate data is shown in Figure 9,
The VDOT and the Division of Motor Vehicles assisted in
13
matching license plate numbers with vehicle owners.
The questionnaire sent to the owners is shown in
Figures 10 and 11.
On the day of the survey, 23.849 vehicles were
physically counted passing the survey station during
the observation period. Of this number, 13,254 (56%)
identifiable vehicles had their license plate numbers
recorded and the vehicle owners subsequently sent
questionnaires. A total of 4,750 questionnaires were
returned before the cut-off date established as Monday,
April 10, 1987, arrived. This represented a return of
approximately 36 percent. A total of 4,413, or about
93 percent, of the returned questionnaires were usable
in the survey tabulation.
In an effort to improve upon the accuracy of the data
collected, additional questionnaires were sent to
students at Virginia Tech who were observed passing
r
through the survey station. In the case of most
students, their vehicle is registered in their home
town, the address to which the questionnaire was sent.
To elirninate the possibility of a student not receiving
a questionnaire, Virginia Tech cooperated in matching
license plate numbers obtained in the survey to license
plate numbers registered to students on campus. This
process resulted in 840 questionnaires being sent to
Tech students. A cony of the questionnaire sent to the
students on campus in shown In Figure 12. Accompanying
this questionnaire was a letter from W. R. Van Dresser,
Vice President for Administration and Operations urging
the students to cooperate in the traffic survey.
Apnrox.imately 21 fiercent (177) of the questionnaires
were returned of which 138 were used in the
tabulations. The difference of 39 were students who
had returned questionnaires received at their home

address. The students response to the survey was less
than that of the general public (21% vs. 36%). There
is no apparent reason why but may be due to apathy of
college students involved in so many other activities.
Of the 4,551 questionnaires returned and tabulated,
1,198, or 26.33 percent, represented traffic that was
traveling between Blacksburg and I-81 towards the
Roanoke Valley. Expanding this to an ADT count results
in approximately 9,400 trips per day in 1986 traveling
between Blacksburg and Roanoke and beyond. Likewise,
about 850 vehicles per day travel between Blacksburg
and I-81 to the south.
Although the average number of trips traveling between
Blacksburg and Roanoke was revealed to be 9,400
vehicles per day through the license plate survey, the
figure could range between a low of 6,600 and a high of
14,200 depending upon the season of the year.

A • DEVELOPMENT OF D Sir,N YFeQ VOl IIMF~
Design year traffic for the corridor study has been
based on the year 2007 traffic volumes. A period of 20
years is widely used as the basis for design. Year 2007
volumes have been developed by applying a five percent
growth factor compounded annually to the 1986 volumes.
H • ASSIGNMENT OF D ~ t r,N Y AR VO I IMF4
Protected year 2007 traffic volumes have been assigned
to three alternates under study. Figures 13 thru 15
depict the 1986 and pro)ected 2007 ADT volumes on each
of the study alternates, Traffic destined south on
I-81 would utilize Alternate A (VDOT Plan) and
Alternate H (641 Plan) but would not use the Alternate
C (603 Planl alignment.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF A TFRNATFR
A . GEN RAI
Three basic corridors have been identified as potential
locations for a better connecting route for a major
arterial highway between Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and
Interstate Route 81. All elements of the proposed new
road have been developed in accordance with the VDOT
"Geometric Design Standards for Rural Principal
Arterial System GS-1" with a design speed of 60 miles
per hour, The development of these routes are
discussed hereafter.
B • ALTERNAT(iA
Alternate A is a plan developed by the VDOT. It begins
with a facility on a new location near the southern tip
of Blacksburg and continues south to tie into the Route
460 Bypass around Christiansburg, A portion of the
Route 460 Bypass would be used until it intersects with
Route 11. At this point, it is proposed to continue
with Route 460 straight on across Route 11 to intersect
with I-81 approximately one mile south of fhe existing
Route 11--460 interchange with I-81.
Faur interchanges are proposed to be constructed with
this alignments one with existing Route 460 as it
leaves Blacksburg, another at the intersection with the
Route 460 Bypass of Christiansburg, a third at the
intersection of Route 11, and a fourth at the
intersection with I-81. A total of 3.6 miles of new
construction is involved with this alternate.
24
C• ALTERNAT B
Alternate B has been referred to as the 641 Plan. This
concept consists of about 6.6 miles of new construction
all on a new location. It begins just north of the
Route 460 Bypass--Route 460 Business interchange on the
south end of Blacksburg and continues in a
southeasternly direction to connect with I-81 in the
vicinity of the I-81 crossing of Route 641. An
interchange is proposed at each terminal point and with
Business Route 4b0. No other access point is proposed
for this concept.
The terrain, rather than existing development,
influences the location of the roadway in this
particular corridor. This concept parallels Route 641
for about 1.7 miles Just before it ties into I-81.
D• A_LTERNAT
This concept, known locally as the 603 Plan, would
require about 11.3 miles of new construction but would
provide the most direct route of travel between
Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and the Roanoke Valley. This
route would also be the most environmentally sensitive
corridor of the three studied. It would take more
single family homes and involve more relocation
assistance than Alternates A and B.
Alternate C crosses the North Fork of the Roanoke River
four times and, in each case, would be involved with
the flood plain,
25
V. EVAIIIAT1nti OF A TFRNAT~S
A . DESIGN FFATIIRF~
All three alternates would provide a four-lane divided,
fully controlled access facility between
Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and Interstate Route 81. The
distance from Point A to Point B (see Figure 1) is
17.50 miles via the existing roadways. The
construction of any one of the three alternates would
reduce the travel distance between points A and Bj
Alternate A by 0.57 mile, Alternate B by 3.88 miles,
and Alternate C by 6.14 miles.
By utilizing a significant portion of an existing
roadway, Alternate A would require only 3.6 miles of
new construction. Alternates 8 and C would necessitate
construction on a new location of 6.6 miles and 11.3
miles, respectively,
Four interchanges would be constructed with Alternate A
and three each with Alternates B and C. With Alternate
C, three at-grade intersections are also proposed to
provide access to Route 603.
The Alternate A alignment intersects I-81 less than one
mile south of the existing interchange between Routes
ii--460 and I-81 (Exit 37). The desired spacings
between interchanges such as this is 2 miles.
Alternate B would require building a new interchange on
I-81 approximately 2.5 miles north of the Routes
1i--460 and I-&i interchange. The diamond interchange
between Routes 603 and I-81 at the Ironto exit (Exit
26
38) would have to be completely rebuilt with the
Alternate C alignment.
The construction impact of all three alternates will be
disruptive, but Alternate A will cause the most
inconvenience for vehicular traffic.
B. TRAFFIC PATTFRN~
A comparison of 2007 design year volumes reveals that
Alternate A would serve the most traffic and provide
the greatest amount of relief for traffic on existing
Route 460. Alternate C would serve the least volume of
daily traffic but would provide the most direct and
shortest route between Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and
the Roanoke Valley, The distance between points A and
B via alternates A, B, and C is 16.93, 13.62, and 11.36
miles respectively, It can be noted that Alternate C
would save 5,57 miles of travel between
Blacksburg--Virginia Tech and Roanoke when compared to
Alternate A and 2.2~ miles as compared to Alternate B.
Traffic between Blacksburg-Virginia Tech and I-81 to
the south could be expected to use Alternates A and B
but would use existing routes rather than utilize
Alternate C.
C• ENVIRONM NTA IMPArTR
Subsepuent to the construction of any of the
alternates, the environmental concerns will need to be
addressed provided federal funds are involved with the
pro)ect. A preliminary evaluation of some of the
environmental impacts is as follows
27
1. SOCIOLOGICAL IMPACTS
- The Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) Alternate has a significant impact on
development as it leaves Route 460 in
Blacksburg and at its crossing of Route
11-460 fn Christiansburg.
- The 603 and 641 Alternates have similar
effects on development on Routes 642 and
Route 723.
- Route 603 Alternate has a disruptive effect
on development throughout its length,
skirting the community of Flagg but still
taking several residences.
- The community of Ironto is bisected by the
Alternate. The alignment skirts in such
manner as to affect the community and take
several residences. Several houses not taken
will require septic system revisions.
- Access to the school in Ironto will be
affected because the existing roads in the
vicinity of the new facility will be
realigned in some instances and severed in
other cases.
2. TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS
- The Route 603 Alternate will be the most
energy efficient and have the least amount of
road user costs associated with it for
traffic destined between Blacksburg and
Roanoke due to being the most direct and
2B
shortest route. The 641 Alternate would be
the better of the two remaining alternates.
- The VDOT Alternate is the best one suited for
construction phasing. Alternates involving
the 641 and 603 corridors do not have the
potential for constructing the project in
phases.
- The construction of any new alternate should
result in safer operating conditions. The
operating conditions for traffic traveling
between Blacksburg and Roanoke on Alternate B
and C should be better than the VDOT
Alternate by virtue of greater spacing
between interchanges. Alternate C (Route 603
corridor) requires less travel, thereby,
theoretically, making it the safest route.
- All alternates will provide better level of
service operations than present conditions.
Alternates B and C will have•the best level
of service for the alternate itself but
Alternate A will result in the greatest
improvements in operating levels of service
for the existing Route 460 roadway.
3. NOISE IMPACTS (ALTERNATES B AND C ONLY)
- Adds heavy truck traffic to an existing rural
area with virtually no truck traffic
presently.
29
4, WATER QUALITY
- Alternate B (Route 641 corridor) parallels a
relatively minor creek (Den Creek). Impacts
on this stream will occur during the
construction phase, and in the future with
some contaminates.
- The Route 603 Alternate (C) is involved with
construction phase impacts and future
contaminants, Mayor impact is on the North
Fork of the Roanoke River floodplain.
- Alternate C crosses the River four (4) times.
It encroaches upon the floodplain in one
other location as it parallels the River.
Each involvement would require hydraulic
studies and permits, The four crossings
would require structures.
,,
5. CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS (Similar for all alternates
except longer Alternates will involve more
impacts.)
- Road severance and temporary accessibility
problems & inconvenience.
- Erosion & siltation considerably more of a
problem on Route 603 Alternate because of
structures over River and proximity to River
throughout its length,
- Construction noise and air quality for local
residents presents a problem. There are
fewer residents along Route 641 corridor.
30
Table 1 depicts the number of residential and business
units that would be displaced and the amount of land
required based in the alignments studied.

These represent counts taken from 1"=400' scale aerial
photcgraphs and knowledge of area.
To make adequate comparisons, detailed environmental
studies should be undertaken. These comments are the
result of a cursory review and are to be used with that
understanding.
D ~ SST I MA TED CONSTRi irT r n~~ rn~ ~ ~
Estimated construction costs were determined by
applying unit costs based on 1986 unit prices to
construction item quantities obtained from functional
plans developed for each of the three corridors. An
allowance of 15 percent was added to the construction
cost of each alternate to cover costs for engineering
design. An additional 15 percent was added to cover
costs for administration and contingencies. The
construction costs exclude costs associated with
right-of-way and relocation assistance.
31
The estimated construction cost for the three
alternates is:
Alternate A tVDOT)
$40,000,000
Alternate B (641)
Alternate C (603)
$115,000,000
$120,000,000
Alternates B and C are estimated to cost approximately
three times as much as Alternate A for construction
items. The significant differences in costs are
related to lengths of construction and earthwork
quantities,

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE IMPROVEMENT
OF ACCESS BETWEEN THE ROANOKE VALLEY AND VIRGINIA TECH
WHEREAS, the Governor of Virginia has included as a part of his economic
development strategy for the Commonwealth the improvement of transportation
facilities; and,
WHEREAS, the lack of direct access to Virginia Tech from the Roanoke Valley
is an obstacle to the continued economic development potential of the region;
and,
WHEREAS, a study commissioned by the Town of Blacksburg shows that a new
road leading from the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center east to a point
near the existing intersection of Route 641 with Interstate 81 is the best
solution to the problems associated with the access of the Roanoke Valley to
Blacksburg and Virginia Tech.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors that:
1. The Board joins with the Town of Blacksburg and Virginia Tech
in requesting that the Commonwealth Transportation Board and
the Virginia Department of Transportation accept the corridor
solution the Town of Blacksburg has identified as the best
answer to the needs of the Commonwealth and provide the funds
necessary for timely completion of the projec t
2. The Clerk to the Board is directed to mail copies of this
resolution to members of the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
