VACo further supports the existing 45 percent cap on local contributions for supplemental funding. VACo supports full and adequate funding for CSA. There needs to be additional state general fund support to ad- equately fund the state share of the projected service needs with funding flexibility that will enable capital projects and personnel to be funded through the pool allocation. VACo supports legislative and administrative efforts aimed at cost containment including but not limited to financial incentives, rate setting of residential providers, identifica- tion of "best practices," child support and parental co-pay collection assistance, limiting the mandated CSA popula- tion to its current scope. VACo would encourage the state to maximize the use of Medicaid and third party funding sources and request the General Assembly study the issue and the effects that third party funding has on CSA. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNDING VACo requests that state appropriations be increased to help localities promote economic development programs aimed at marketing and expanding business development. Addi- tional state funding should prioritize programs in workforce development, transportation, infrastructure needs and tour- ism. GROWTH MANAGEMENT VACo requests authority for all local governments to im- pose impact fees, statewide conditional zoning, transferable development rights and adequate public facilities provisions in zoning and subdivision ordinances. VACo strongly op- posesany dilution of existing local government enabling au- thority regarding conditional zoning. VACo strongly sup- portsextending authority in § 15.1-491(a) to all counties. In addition to conditional zoning, VACo strongly supports al- lowing all counties to require impact fees as a condition of site plan or subdivision approval to defray the costs of off- site public improvements necessitated by new development. Furthermore, VACo strongly opposes House Bill 1224, House Bill 1513, House Bill 1517, House Bill 1518 and Senate Bi11592 which have all been carried over by the 1996 General Assembly. All of these bills would significantly restrict the authority of local governments to manage growth. The Assembly took necessary budget action to thwart efforts to pro-ration CSA state pool funds by removing language which would have eliminated sum-sufficiency and authorized the State Executive Council to limit supplemental allocations to localities. An additional $7 million was appropriated to fully fund CSA. The trust fund grants were supported by an additional appro- priation of $670,000 for fiscal year 1998. Cost containment efforts were supported by language that authorizes but does not mandate utilization reviews for localities. Two study resolutions passed by the Assembly will focus on cost containment, best practices and the administration of CSA. Finally, the Assembly evaluated the concept of using Medicaid for third party payments and requested a study on third party payments as a means to offset state and local funding. The Assembly approved legislation that increased state appropriations for travel advertising and tourist promo- tion. The Department of Business Assistance received funding for industrial development, community and busi- nessassistance and industrial employee training. Several bills passed by the Assembly were aimed at stimulating more investment in economically disadvantaged areas by modifying provisions of Virginia's Enterprise Zones. The Assembly took no actions to expand or restrict the authority of local governments to exercise their condi- tionalzoning orproffer authority. TheAssembly did pass modified versions of HB 1513 (requiring water and sewer connection fees to be "fair and reasonable) and SB 592 (placing limitations on the authority of local governments to regulate silvicultural, or forestry practices). Both bills were opposed by VACo. The following "growth manage- ment" related bills (also opposed by VACo) were de- feated: HB 1224 (restricting local authority to require architectural standards as a condition for a rezoning); HB 1517 (restricting local authority to accept dedications, payments and conveyances); and HB 1518 (restricting local authority to utilize special exceptions). 19971egislation affecting counties ~ Virginia Association of Counties 3 1 ~I Administration of government Virginia Liaison Office Removes the responsibility of the Virginia Liaison Office as it relates to the monitoring and influencing the develop- ment of federal agency rules and regulations of interest to the Commonwealth and replaces it with the responsibility to support state agencies in monitoring and influencing the development of federal rules and regulations. This bill was a recommendation of JLARC pursuant to House Document No. 13 (1997). (HB 1656) Lobbyist's disclosure statement and reporting Requires more detailed information on entertainment event expenses (Schedule A) for events costing more than $100 and clarifies required information for other types of gifts (Schedule B). The bill requires that gifts with a value greater than $50 must be itemized. Lobbyists must provide the names of the legislative and executive officials who attend an event, unless more than 10 officials attend, and who receive other reportable gifts. In addition, lobbyists must send each official named on Schedule A or B a copy of the Schedule or summary of the reported information twice each year. (HB 2089, SB 812) Conflict of interests laws; disclosure forms Requires disclosure of gifts with a value greater than $50, rather than $200. The bill also requires more detailed information concerning compensation from businesses represented before government agencies by the filer and from categories of businesses to which the filer and his associates furnished services. Compensation must be reported by dollaz categories of $1,001 to $10,000; $10,001 to $50,000; $50,001 to $100,000; $100,001 to $250,000; and more than $250,000. Present law sets out two categories: $1,001 to $10,000; and more than $10,000. Provisions are also added to define certain terms. (HB 2090, SB 813) Bond ratings of the Commonwealth's debt- issuing agencies, institutions, boards, authorities and political subdivisions Requires that ratings of bonds issued by any governmental instrumentality be provided by recognized bond-rating agencies approved by the State Treasurer. (HB 2114) State agencies to provide notice before reducing certain services Provides that no state agency or other entity of the Commonwealth shall take any action to reduce or discon- tinue aservice which it performs for a locality or reduce or discontinue any form of financial assistance to a locality without first notifying all affected localities and the Virginia Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) at least 90 days in advance of such proposed action. However, in an emergency, certified by the governor for executive agencies or by the chief administrative officer for any other entity of the Common- wealth, such action may be taken immediately following notice. The ACIR shall hold heazings on any such notice and shall render an advisory report to the governor and to the succeeding session of the General Assembly on the ramifications of such action. The bill does not apply to any action taken by an executive agency or other entity of the Commonwealth pursuant to a specific legislative require- ment or judicial decree or agreement negotiated with a local government. This dons not apply to constitutional officers or state payments for prisoners or correctional facilities. (HB 2252) Public Procurement Act; transactions by certain public employees Eliminates the potential conflict between the different definitions of "immediate family" found in the Public Procurement and the State and Local Conflict of Interests Acts. Currently, under the Public Procurement Act, "immediate family" is defined more broadly than in the Conflict of Interests Act. As a result, a local employee may be in a position to approve or issue contracts to family members who do not reside in the same household. This bill makes it cleaz that an employee cannot partici- pate in a procurement transaction involving the employee or a family member Except as authorized in the State and Local Conflict of Interests Act. (HB 2271) Lobbyist's disclosure statement and reporting Clarifies requirements for reporting gifts to legislative and executive officials and requires disclosure of the specific name of each recipient of a reported gift.

(HJ 500) ' 1997 legislation affecting counties • Virginia Association of Counties 3 3 r' ~~I 1 Resolution; SOL assessment program Expresses the General Assembly support for the testing of students upon the completion of required courses in the public schools of the Commonwealth. In 1995, the Board of Education prescribed revised Standards of Learning in mathematics, science, English, social studies, and com- puter skills in grades 5 and 8, which all students must master. To ensure accountability, the Board has developed an assessment program to measure the success of students and teachers in meeting the objectives of the revised Standards of Learning. Under the new state assessment program, students who take Algebra I, World History, Geometry, and Biology in middle school and early in their high school careers will not be tested until two or more years, in some cases, after the completion of such courses. As a result, students are likely not to perform not as well as they could, if the tests were administered soon after they completed the courses. This resolution requests the Board of Education to reconsider and modify the test schedule in subject areas under the new state assessment program to provide a more accurate assessment of student performance, and equity to students and teachers.

Conversion from part-time to full-time status Funding is recommended for the conversion of seven part- time offices to full-time status in the counties of Prince George, King George, Essex, Richmond, Amelia, Rappahannock, and King and Queen. The effective date of the conversions is Jan. 1, 1998, and approval will depend upon the request of the officer and the need for reclassifica- tion based on established staffing standards.

No loss/census loss payment An additional state payment in the amount of $2,126,194 in the first year is provided for aone-time payment to school divisions receiving less state funding in the first year as a result of a loss in school-age population between the years 1992 and 1996. The payment shall be based on the difference between the funding the division would receive using the 1992 census in the first yeaz and the funding that would be received using the 1992/1996 blended census. Such payments shall be made as follows: Composite Index Percentage 0.0000 - 0.1999 85% 0.2000 - 0.3499 70% 0.3500 - 0.4999 45% 0.5000 or more 30% Maintenance Supplement State payments have increased from the approved budget in the second year from $10 to $15. Special Education payments In the current fiscal yeaz, $1,050,000 is appropriated for the purpose of providing education services to disabled students who have been expelled or suspended for a long period of time for reasons not related to their handicapping conditions. However, in the second yeaz, the state share of costs of providing education services to these disabled students shall be limited to the costs that would have been paid by the state on behalf of such students had they not been expelled. In other words, the local school division will have to pick up the "extraordinary costs" in 1998 for special placements and the state will renege on their previous payments of 100percent of these costs. Teacher training payment The state share of $17 million or $231 per instructional position is included in the new budget for teacher training. Teacher salaries/VR5 pickup The intent of the General Assembly is that the average classroom teacher salary be increased by 4 percent the second year. The salazy increase will be effective Jan. 1, 1998. As an alternative to the 4 percent increase, school divisions which were not previously paying the employee's share of contributions to the Virginia Retire- ment System may offer this new benefit in lieu of the increase. 19971egislationsffecting counties • Virginia Association of Counties 41 Public Safety Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) An additional $5.8 million in FY 1998 is provided by the General Assembly to assist localities with the 25 percent matching requirement for federal grant funds awazded by the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program and to further assist localities by providing an incentive for assuming the federal share of these costs as federal funds diminish. The General Assembly intends to assist localities in adding 1,000 new police officer and sheriff's deputy positions in Vuginia over the remaining duration of the federal program, and by providing an incentive for localities to continue funding an additional 850 existing, federally supported police officer and deputy sheriff positions for which federal funds will begin to expire. Local Criminal Justice Academies An additional $1.00 penalty assessment added to court costs per HB 2102 will provide additional support for the operating costs of local criminal justice academies. The academies provide training to local law enforcement officers, jailers, court security officers, process servers and dispatchers. The Department of Criminal Justice Services shall develop guidelines for regional criminal justice academies, including curriculum, staff qualifications, regional jurisdiction and competency standazds. This report shall be prepared for the Governor and the General Assembly by Nov. 15, 1997. Local Law Enforcement Funding--HB 599 Funding for local law enforcement through the HB 599 program contains no language or funding amendments from the originally approved budget. Juvenile Detention Centers Operating costs The budget bill provides funds for the state shaze of the operating costs for new or expanded secure detention homes for juveniles. The 1997 funds include the Loudoun and Northern Virginia detention centers. Construction costs The governor's budget adds funds for the state share of constructing a new local secure detention home for juveniles on the Middle Peninsula, resulting in an increase of $848,000. Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act The Commission on Youth, with assistance from the Department of Planning and Budget, shall evaluate the administration and efficacy of the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act.

Many of these proposals are jointly supported by VACo and the Virginia Municipal League (VML).

NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, that the following legislative initia- tives are submitted to the Virginia Association of Counties for its legislative program for the 1998 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable consideration and adoption. I. A. Education. Realizing that public education is the foundation of American democracy and the cornerstone of our future economic well being, the County urges the General Assembly to consider favorably the following actions. 1) The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia should be amended to provide that elected school boards may be 1 ~~f granted the authority and responsibility for taxation to support public education. 2) The General Assembly should enhance funding for public education, including increasing the funds available to the Literary Fund for local school capital construction or renovation projects. 3) Local school divisions should be authorized to establish opening dates for school. 4) Disparity funding should be based not only upon the number of students eligible for free or reduced fee lunches, but also upon the locality's local tax effort in support of education. Disparity funding should be based upon the composite index (which measures a locality's relative fiscal ability to provide its share of the cost of a local school system that meets the standards of quality) and the locality's local effort in support of that school system. B. Roanoke County supports legislation amending the heart/lung/cancer presumption statute for Workers' Compensation to restore balance to the rebuttal process. Compensability shall be determined by establishing whether work or non-work related risk factors (life-style choices such as smoking, poor nutritional habits, lack of exercise, or obesity, or non-work related stress and familial history) are more likely the primary cause of the medical condition. In addition, Roanoke County opposes any further expansion of this statute. C. Roanoke County supports legislation relieving local 2 ~- / governments of the responsibility of meeting recycling rates on all wastes collected by private haulers and diverted from waste disposal facilities identified to receive such wastes as set out in the local solid waste management plan. This legislation should also require that private haulers diverting such wastes be held accountable and responsible to meeting the same recycling rates and requirements as the local governments. Section 10.1-1411 imposes a 25$ recycling mandate on local governments. The General Assembly has severely limited the ability of local governments to regulate the flow of waste. This proposal would relieve local governments of the responsibility of meeting this recycling mandate on all wastes collected by private haulers. It would also require that private haulers be subject to the same recycling mandates as local governments. D. Roanoke County supports additional new construction and maintenance funding for the Virginia Department of Transportation for secondary and primary roads. Additional funding for new construction projects will address critical transportation needs of all local governments. Additional maintenance funding shall be used for an expanded program to mow grass and weeds, and inspect and clean drainage pipes and culverts. E. Roanoke County supports allowing the disposal of land clearing vegetative debris (including tree stumps) in less expensive facilities in a manner not detrimental to the environment. This would require groundwater and methane gas monitoring, financial assurances from the owner/operator, and local 3 ~-l governing body certification of compliance with all local ordinances. F. Roanoke County supports legislation amending Section 14.1-46.0:1 to increase the salary supplement for the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors from $1,800 to $2,500 per year. G. Roanoke County supports continued and increased funding for the Comprehensive Services Act, the Virginia Community Juvenile Crime Control Act, the Family Preservation Act, local police departments (HB 599 funding), and the Regional Competitiveness Act. H. Roanoke County vigorously opposes any attempt to restrict or eliminate local sources of taxation, including personal property taxation and business and professional occupational licensing. I. Roanoke County supports authority to impose an additional one-half percent (z~) local option sales tax. J. Roanoke County supports expanding local authority to create transportation districts, to impose local option motor vehicle fuels taxes, and to expend these tax proceeds for local transportation improvements. K. Roanoke County supports legislation appropriating funds and directing the State Compensation Board to modify staffing standards for local jails and court services positions for Sheriff's offices. L. Roanoke County supports amending Chapter 6.1, "Virginia Tire Tax" of Title 58.1, "Taxation" (a) to increase the tire tax from $.50 to $1.25, and (b) to direct and authorize the Department of Waste Management to utilize the increased Waste Tire Trust Fund 4 E`- / to remediate illegal or abandoned waste tire dumps. M. Roanoke County supports increasing state aid for public libraries by $1.4 Million each for FY 99 and FY 2000; That the Commonwealth fully fund state aid by FY 2001; and that the Commonwealth shall adopt and fund a statewide technology plan for public libraries. The objective of such a plan will be to provide public libraries with the technological support for public, universal access to networked information. II. That the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors is directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to the Virginia Association of Counties. G:\ATTORNEY\PMM\98LEGVAC.RESS 5 r A-052797-1 ACTION N0.

The TOWN agrees to reimburse the COUNTY, upon delivery, for costs equal to 50 of the purchase of a 1997 Pierce fire pumper truck, to be jointly titled and a like share of costs for any current or future related equipment necessary to outfit this truck for fire suppression service as determined by the COUNTY. The COUNTY agrees to house this vehicle in the Vinton Fire Station for use by the Vinton Fire Department to answer emergency calls in areas mutually agreed upon by the COUNTY and TOWN. Should this vehicle be approved for removal in the future, the COUNTY shall reimburse the TOWN for 50 % of the salvage value of the 1997 Pierce.

The three options were: 1. Distribution of funds on a straight per capita basis 2. A percentage distribution of funds based on per capita with a smaller percentage based on the fiscal stress of a local government as calculated by the Commission on Local Government. 3. Distribution of a percentage of the funds based on per capita with a smaller percentage based on the fiscal stress of the community and an additional percentage allocated to the Alliance as seed money for special projects of regional significance. Following a lengthy discussion on the merits of each option, the Board of Directors approved a funding method as follows: - 90~ of the funds will be distributed based on per capita - 8~ of the funds will be distributed based on the fiscal stress of the community - 2$ of the funds will be allocated to the Alliance for its administrative use Wayne Strickland Secretary to the Alliance, also prepared a draft resolution that each participating jurisdiction must adopt approving the funding distribution methodology recommended by the Alliance's Board of Directors. ~~ The resolution must be adopted by June 21, 1997 in order for the Regional Alliance to be eligible for funds after July. The minutes for the April 24, 1997 meeting are attached for your review.

MINUTES Fifth Planning District Regional Alliance Board of Directors' Meeting Apri124, 1997 Hollins College Mr. Osbome, Acting Chair of the Alliance, called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. and welcomed all members. Attendance was as follows: Mr. Eston Burge Ms. Beth Doughty Mr. Gerald Burgess Mr. David Newkirk Mr. Richard Magnifico Mr. J. Glynn Loope Mr. Stephen Carter Ms. Michele Wright Ms. Debbie Moses (alternate Dr. Janet Rasmussen appointed by Mayor David Bowers/ Dr. N. Wayne Hams City of Roanoke) Mr. James Erdly Mr. Jim Ritchie (alternate appointed Mr. Watts Stegar by Mr. W. Robert Herbert/City of Ms. Cindy Shelor Roanoke) The Honorable Bob Johnson Mr. Don IVlyers (alternate appointed by Mr. Elmer Hodge/County of Roanoke) The Honorable Carl Tarpley, Jr. Mr. Randy Smith Mr. B. Clayton Goodman, III Mr. J. Lee E. Osborne Mr. Osborne reviewed the history of the formation of the Alliance, beginning with the adoption of the 1996 Regional Competitiveness Act a_nd the recommendation of the Fifth Planning District Regional Steering Committee to organize a regional partnership. Mr. Wayne Strickland, Secretary to the Alliance, was asked to discuss the purpose of the Regional Competitiveness Act and to briefly review the requirements of the Act. Mr. Osborne noted that two issues that needed to be addressed at the meeting: (1) the selection of a nominating committee to recommend a chair and vice chair; and (2) develop a recommendation for a funding formula for the distribution of incentive funds which must be approved by resolution from each participating local government. Mr. Strickland was asked to explain the various option which the Alliance might want to consider as it deliberates on a funding formula for distributing incentive funds. The three options presented included: F_-3 -2- #1 Distribution of funds on a straight per capita basis. #2 A percentage distribution of funds based on per capita with a smaller percentage based on the fiscal stress of a local government as calculated by the Commission on Local Government. #3 Distribution of a percentage of the funds based on per capita with a smaller percentage based on the fiscal stress of the community and an additional percentage allocated to the Alliance as seed money for special projects of regional significance. Mr. Johnson moved that Option #1 be selected with the distribution of funds made specifically on a per capita basis. This motion was seconded by Mr. Smith. Mr. Osborne opened the floor for discussion on the motion. Several Board members commented on the need for the Board to consider various options presented. Some of the Board members felt that Option #1 was better because they were opposed to using fiscal stress as a factor in determining distribution of funds. Some Board members argued that Option #2 would be better because the communities that are under high fiscal stress have a greater need for funding. A Board member responded that many federal and state programs base their funding distribution on fiscal stress and it was felt that this would detrimental to those communities that did not possess a high level of fiscal stress. Some Board members argued for Option #3 which provided for specific funds to be allocated to the Alliance for regional projects since it was felt that the Regional Competitiveness Act funds were to be used for regional activities. Following a lengthy discussion, Mr. Burgess called for the question. Following an inconclusive voice vote, a roll call vote was taken and the motion was defeated 11-10. Mr. Burgess moved that the fund distribution be recommended as follows: 90% of the funds be distributed based on per capita, 8% of the funds be distributed based on j~scal stress of the community, and 2% of the funds be allocated to the Alliance for its administrative use. The question was called and the motion was approved by a 1 S to 5 vote. Mr. Osborne asked Mr. Strickland to prepare a draft resolution for local governments to use in considering the recommendation of the Alliance for the funding distribution (see attached). Mr. Osborne then noted that a nominating committee would neea to be established to recommend a chair and vice chair for the Alliance. He asked the following individuals to serve on the nominating committee: Eston Burge, Watts Stegar, W. Robert Herbert, and Randy Smith (Mr. Osborne will serve as an ex-officio member). Additionally, Mr. Osborne asked Mr. Burge to chair the nominating committee. The last item to be discussed was the date and location of the next meeting. It was agreed that the Alliance would meet on Thursday, May 22 at 4:00 p.m. Dr. Rasmussen stated she would be glad to provide a room at the College for the Alliance meeting. Mr. Osborne adjourned the meeting at 6:00 p.m. .~ ITEM NO.

ITEM NUMBER ~" AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Request from Courthouse Officials to make improvements to the leased parking lot In April 1992, the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance authorizing execution of a lease for parking facilities at the Roanoke County Courthouse. The lease was renewed on January 14, 1997. The parking lot provides additional parking for courthouse and jail employees and the public using the courthouse. The parking lot has had no maintenance in over two years and is in need of repairs. Courthouse officials have requested that the Board of Supervisors authorize funds to make the necessary repairs. General Services has received an estimate with two options to repair the parking lot. One option would regrade the entire lot and place a 3 inch layer of stone all over the area for $11,046.00. The less expensive option would regrade the hump in the lot and the perimeter of the lot and place a 3 inch layer of stone on these areas for $5,500.00 County staff agrees with the Constitutional Officers and judges that the parking lot is beneficial to both the staff and the public and should be maintained while we are leasing it. However, since the parking lot does not belong to the County, the less expensive $5,500 option would be the most practical and cost efficient. There is currently $39,373 available in the Courthouse Maintenance Fund. This fund was established in 1990 when the General Assembly authorized the assessment of fees to be used for the construction, .~ ~~ renovation, or maintenance of the courthouse, jail or court-related facilities. By ordinance, these funds must be appropriated by the Board of Supervisors. ALTERNATIVES: 1. $5,500 could be appropriated from the Courthouse Maintenance Fund which was established specifically for these types of maintenance and repair. 2. If the Board prefers, the funds could be appropriated from the Board Contingency Fund. Staff recommends Alternative #1, that the Board of Supervisors appropriate $5,500 from the Courthouse Maintenance Fund to make the necessary repairs to the leased parking lot near the Courthouse and jail.

MCGRAW, SR. CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT M E M O R A N D U M '.Po: Mr. Elmer C. Hodge, Administrator Raanoke County /~ From: Steven A. McGraw, Clerk Raanoke County Circuit Court Date: May 6, 1997 Re: Needed Repairs to Courthouse "Auxiliary" Parking Lot rp v ,~ - ..1 I am writing with a request and to express my thanks to you and the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors for agreeing to continue to lease the property bounded by Thompson Memorial Drive, East Main Street, Craig Avenue and Clay Street in downtown Salem and used as an "'auxiliary" parking lot for the public as well as for courthouse employees. Now that the decision has been made to continue leasing the property, I would like to request that Roanoke County seriously consider paving and lining this parking lot in order to achieve maximum utility and safety for those who use it. ~ To the best of my knowledge, no maintenance has been completed on the parking lot for at least two years and it is now in need of significant repairs. Although paving the entire lot and marking all access lanes and parking areas would be more efficient and much safer for its users, not to mention being more cost-effective in the long term, I have also attached an estimate of other potential repairs as submitted at my request by S. R. Draper Paving Co., Inc. to Roanoke County's General Services Department. Perhaps it would be advisable for you to visit the courthouse in the near future to allow me to show you the exact nature and extent of the problem. Please contact me at your earliest convenience so that, if necessary, we can arrange such a meeting. Thank you. ec: Judge Roy B. Willett Sheriff Gerald S. Holt Commonwealth's Attorney F. W.

ITEM NUMBER /C" AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Request for Work Session on June 10, 1997 to Discuss Welfare Reform COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS : ~ ~!,jcti•-u~-c~/C SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Board of Supervisors may recall that Welfare Reform began in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1995. Since that time the State has chosen to implement the program in small geographic areas of the State to make the transition more manageable. The Roanoke and New River Valleys are scheduled to phase in the work component of the State's welfare plan, VIEW (Virginia Initiative for Employment not Welfare), on October 1, 1997. VIEW will require people in the region who are on welfare to begin working for their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits by January 1, 1998. For two years those recipients can continue to receive temporary assistance benefits plus transportation, child care, medical benefits, and keep their paychecks. After two years, the temporary assistance is cut off, but recipients can opt for one more year of transportation, child care, and medical benefits. Dr. Betty McCrary, Director of Social Services for Roanoke County, and her staff have been training for this transition and have worked with area departments of Social Services, social agencies, planning district officials, and business leaders as we prepare for our implementation. r STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Dr. McCrary respectfully requests an opportunity to hold a work session with the Board of Supervisors at their June 10, 1997 meeting to discuss this program and potential implementation for Roanoke County. Your approval of this request will certainly be appreciated. Respectfully submitted, ~'~ ohn M.

Our concept does not request any additional entrances off of Ogden Road or Colonial Avenue. Under the original rezoning, the only concerns exhibited by the surrounding properties were those of the neighbors on the upper side of the clinic. Dr. Ball constructed a buffer along this property line and has maintained it. The addition of the parking, which we have proposed, will not in any way impact those residents who have homes adjoining this property. This doctor's office serves a significant need of the neighborhood and is consistent with the use of the properties in this immediate area. The addition of this parking does not reflect any change in the use of this parcel and will alleviate inevitable congestion on this piece of property if parking is not expanded beyond the scope of the original Concept Plan. - T.

VOLUNTARY PROFFER: The Property will be developed in substantial conformity with the Rezoning Plan filed with this Application, subject to anv modifications required or agreed to by Roanoke County. G. PROPOSED ACTIVITY OR USE: C&C Development, L.L.C. ("C&C") is the preferred developer for Rite Aid of Virginia, Inc. C&C is responsible for locating appropriate land in the Roanoke Valley and elsewhere for development by Rite Aid for its new neighborhood drugstores. Rite Aid ~~sT~avsoas6.~ .~'- y Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors Page -3- Applicant: C&C Development, L.L.C. intends to establish a number of its neighborhood drugstores in the western part of Virginia, with several locations intended for the Roanoke area. Several are in operation or in the process of being constructed, including the ones on Hazdy Road in Vinton, at the corner of West Main and Chestnut Street in Salem, and at the corner of Brandon and Edgewood in Roanoke City. C&C has contracted to purchase several parcels of land (collectively, the "Propem~") located at the corner of Route 419 and Brambleton Avenue for the development of a Rite Aid neighborhood drugstore and other retail uses. This particular site is comprised of seven separate parcels owned by a number of different individuals and an entity, which are zoned C-2 and R-2. C&C has filed this application to rezone a portion of the Property currently zoned R-2 to C-2, General Commercial District, as shown on the Rezoning Plan attached hereto. The granting of the requested rezoning is a condition precedent to the closing of the purchase of the Property. C&C and Rite Aid intend to develop the Property in substantial conformity with the Rezoning Plan submitted with this application, subject to any modifications required or agreed to by Roanoke County. The development of the Property in this manner is intended to make the proposed use compatible with the existing uses of properties in the surrounding areas, in keeping with Rite Aid's philosophy of designing and operating its drugstores consistent with the character of the neighboring area. The Property at the corner of Route 419 and Brambleton Avenue has been selected for development as a Rite Aid neighborhood drugstore because of its proximity to the residential neighborhoods near and along the Route 419Brambleton Avenue/ Route 2? 1 corridor. The Property is particularly well suited for development as proposed by C&C. The portion of the Property located immediately at the corner of Route 419 and Brambleton Avenue is zoned C-2 and is currently being operated as an AMOCO retail petroleum facility. The remainder of the Property is zoned R-2. Immediately adjacent to the Property are other properties which are currently being put to a variety of mixed commercial uses, including Springw-ood Park adjoining to the east, fast food and other restaurants, banks, office complexes. Cave Spring Corner Shopping Center, and a post office, among others, as well as single and multi-family residences. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for land use as Core, and the proposed use of the Property is in conformity with such designation. The Core designation delineates suburban centers that provide a focus of activity and identity to surrounding communities and that compliment the central business districts in downtown Roanoke, Salem and 715T14~350856.1 ~~ Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors Page -4- Applicant: C&C Development, L.L.C. Vinton. The proposed use is consistent with the permissible land use types, principles and Policies C-1 through C-7 for urban core development as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. At present, C&C intends to develop the remainder of the site as shown on the Rezoning Plan in a manner consistent with the commercial uses permitted in a C-2 district and the principles and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. It is contemplated that the space w-i11 be leased to a video rental business such as Moovies, or other similar retail establishment. Parking for the combined retail uses has been designed in such a manner as site conditions will permit and for the convenience of the public. Additionally, the design for the project will eliminate all but two of the existing entrances onto the adjoining public streets, which will promote the safety and welfare of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. Because (a) the area in which the Property is located is already heavily developed with a variety of commercial uses similar to the proposed use, and therefore will not cause an adverse change in the surrounding area, (b) the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the general purposes of Section 30-54-1, et. seq. of the zoning code, and (c) the development of the Property as shown on the Rezoning Plan would be a positive physical improvement to the corner of Route 419 and Brambleton Avenue, the existing R-2 zoning designation for that portion of the Property to be rezoned is unreasonable. These factors clearly support the reasonableness of a C-2 zoning designation for use of the property as a Rite Aid neighborhood drugstore and related retail space. C&C, Rite Aid and we believe that a neighborhood drugstore on the Property would provide a substantial benefit to the residents and other property owners in the area. A Rite Aid neighborhood drugstore is consistent with and is a less intensive commercial use than others permitted in the C-2 zoning classification. In addition, the Rezoning Plan includes substantial landscaping and buffering that meets or exceeds the Count~-'s requirements in order to minimize or eliminate any adverse impact the proposed development may have on the adjoining properties. Significantly, C&C and Rite Aid have also entered into a written agreement with Springwood Associates with respect to issues related to the common boundary between the Property and the Springwood Associates property. Accordingly, Springwood Associates, which is the property owner most affected by the proposed development, is not opposed to the project. C&C has filed a separate variance request with the Roanoke County Board of Zoning Appeals with respect to one aspect of the Rezoning Plan. The necessity of the variance ~~rniavsoss6.i '~'~ ~/ Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors Page -5- Applicant: C&C Development, L.L.C. request arose due to the County Administrator's determination that the orientation of the proposed Rite Aid building as shown on the Rezoning Plan requires that the side nearest the Springwood Associates property be considered a "rear yard" pursuant to Sections 30- 28(c) and 30-54-3(B)(4) of the Roanoke County zoning code. A 15-foot rear yard setback is required for properties located in a C-2 district. There is a 0-foot setback requirement for side yards in the same district. As designed, the rear of the proposed Rite Aid building is on the side closest to Route 419, where the dumpster, drive through windo«~ and service doors are located. The interior layout of the storage also confirms that the rear of the building is located nearest Route 419. Accordingly, we believe that the applicable zoning ordinances could reasonably be interpreted so as to make the side of the building closest to Springwood Associates a side yard having no setback requirement. If so, we question whether a variance is required at all, and that the determination as to the applicability of the rear-yard setback requirement in this instance be reconsidered. In anv event, we believe that sufficient justification exists for the granting of a variance because of the ordinary topography and the irregular shape of the Property. The rear portion of the Property consists of a steep hill of dirt and rock that limits the developable portion of the site. Development of the Property as proposed will require significant excavation into the hill to the proposed new' subdivision line as shown on the Rezoning Plan. In order to construct the improvements to fit on the developable portion of the Property, and to provide for the requisite parking facilities, the rear of the Rite Aid store is required to be located closer than 15 feet from the property line of Springwood Associates, even afrer excavation. Accordingly, the strict application of the 15-foot rear yard setback requirement will impose an unnecessary and undue hardship on C&C and Rite Aid by requiring significantly more excavation than should reasonably be required, especially in view of the minor impact on the adjoining property. The Board of Zoning Appeals initially considered the variance application at its meeting on April 16, which n-as continued until its next regularly- scheduled meeting on May 21. Accordingly, the variance application will be acted upon prior to the public hearing on June 3 before the Planning Commission at which this rezoning application will first be considered. As you may know, Rite Aid consistently has a strong positive economic impact in the communities where it does business. Rite Aid will invest more than $1.5 million per store to meet its strict quality control guidelines for design and construction of its neighborhood drugstores. This money will be spent on local architects and contractors during a 16-week construction process. Each new store will also create 1~-2~ full-time pharmacy, stock and cashier jobs. Rite Aid does all of its hiring on-site, encouraging local residents to apply. Additionally, Rite ~isT~avsoss6.i " ~ f Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors Page -6- Applicant: C&C Development, L.L.C. Aid drugstores generate several hundred thousand dollars in local corporate, sales, payroll and personal income taxes annually. Rite Aid's new drugstore concept brings needed services closer to where its customers live by building neighborhood drugstores near residential areas. The store's enhanced design provides for greater convenience for customers, such as wider aisles and easy access to checkout stations. Its design also includes a private pharmacy waiting area, a full line of brand name cosmetics and fragrances, gone-hour photo processing center and a Rite Express station which offers fax, photocopy, package and postal services. Convenience to customers is the focal point of the design and development of the property. Rite Aid's priority is serving the unique needs of each community, and C&C and Rite Aid will work diligently to provide a store which meets the needs of the surrounding area. Despite the additional services offered, Rite Aid pharmacies are moderately-sized, typical 11 square feet or so, and are regarded by its customers as their neighborhood drugstores. Since the founding of the first Rite Aid pharmacy in 1962, Rite Aid has established a universal reputation as a corporate good neighbor. Rite Aid operates over 2,700 drugstores in 21 states, and is steadily growing. At each of these locations, its pharmacists, store manager and associates have a strong commitment to the community. They participate in outreach programs, health fairs, educational programs and diagnostic screenings, and counsel seniors on their special needs. In addition, Rite Aid makes donations to help high-valued social and philanthropic efforts in the community. In view of the foregoing, we ask that you act favorably upon the request; and recommend approval of the proposed rezoning in order to permit the development of the property as a Rite Aid neighborhood drugstore.

ITEM NUMBER ~r AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Second Reading of the Fiscal Year 1997-98 Budget Appropriation Ordinance. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The 1997-98 fiscal year budget was presented to the Board of Supervisors on Apri18, 1997. A budget public hearing was held on Apri122, 1997 to receive written and oral comment from the public concerning the proposed budget and FY1998-2002 Capital Improvements Program. Attached for your approval is the 1997-98 fiscal year Budget Appropriation Ordinance. Several changes in the Appropriation Ordinance (from the first reading on May 13, 1997) have been made and are summarized in the attached memo. This year's presentation of the Appropriation Ordinance includes one change compared to prior year's presentations. Projected Fund Balance amounts have been included. This presentation discloses all significant financial resources available to fund County operations for FY97-98. The total County budget is $225,015,599. This includes all interfund and intrafund transfers. The budget net of transfers is $160,129, 355. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The format of the Appropriation Ordinance conforms with the reporting basis used at year-end in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This presentation allows the same level of budget comparison as is required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for financial reporting purposes. This format will also more consistently apply the appropriation on a fund basis for County Funds as has been used to appropriate School Funds in the past. Staff recommends approval of the second reading of the 1997-98 fiscal year Budget Appropriation Ordinance. Staff also recommends approval of the attached Classification Plan for fiscal year 1997-98.

ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1997 ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE 1997-98 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA WHEREAS, upon notice duly published in the newspaper, a public hearing was held on Apri122, 1997, concerning the adoption of the annual budget for Roanoke County for fiscal year 1997-98;and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, approved said budget on May 13, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.02 of the Roanoke County Charter and Chapter 4 of Title 15.1 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended; and WHEREAS, the first reading of this appropriation ordinance was held on May 13, 1997, and the second reading of this ordinance was held on May 27, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.04 of the Roanoke County Charter. BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, as follows: 1. That the following appropriations are hereby made from the respective funds for the period beginning July 1, 1997, and ending June 30, 1998, for the functions and purposes indicated: ~~ County of Roanoke Proposed FY1997-98 Budget Changes -Board of Supervisors' Consensus May 27,1997 The attached Appropriation Ordinance for the second reading of Roanoke County's FY1997-98 annual budget reflects several changes from the first reading of the ordinance that took place on May 13, 1997. These changes represent Board consensus on the following items: Contributions: Change Partially fund Virginia Western CC's capital request $22,870 Increase Julian Stanley Wise Museum to $25,000 12,500 Increase Adult Care Center to $10,000 3,000 Total Increased Funding $38,370 Recycling: Increase Solid Waste budget by $40,000 for recycling contract with outside vendor approved by Board of Supervisors at the May 13, 1997 meeting. Remaining contract costs will be absorbed within the Solid Waste budget due to operational savings generated by contracting the service out. Adjustments for Above Items: For final balancing of the County's budget, the following changes were made to fund the increases in Contributions and additional costs for the recycling program listed above: Board Contingency Decrease by $23,000. Staff had placed this unallocated balance in the Contingency account, as of the first reading, for final Board allocation. Final Balance in Board Contingency is $120,000. Dental Insurance Decrease by $30,000 (savings). The Board initially indicated a desire to place these savings in the Unappropriated Fund Balance; however, later discussion favored using these funds for increased contributions. Facility Maintenance Decrease by $25,370. This entry will bring the County's budget into balance. This will adjust the increase in capital maintenance from $200,000 to $175,000. This will reduce the Transfer to Capital Fund and the total Capital Fund by the $25,370. These reallocations were made in an effort to minimize potential impact on departmental operations. If the Board desires, other items and/or areas can be adjusted. As a final alternative, a Beginning Balance (use of Fund Balance) could be established to fund the final adjustments to the budget. m: budget\proposed\chng98. app *-~- County of Roanoke Proposed FY 1997-98 Budget May 27, 1997 Revenues: General Fund: General Government Youth Haven II Comprehensive Services Law Library Recreation Fee Class Internal Services Garage II Total General Fund Debt Service Fund Capital Projects Fund Internal Service Fund -Risk Management Water Fund Beginning Balance Sewer Fund School Funds: Operating Cafeteria Grant Textbook Total School Fund Total All Funds $ 99,264,769 427, 646 1,451,110 41,980 726,369 1,768,837 283,794 $ 103,964,505 $ 9,408,677 $ 2,609,130 $ 880,826 $ 11,190,011 299,450 11,489,461 $ 6,962,712 $ 83,928,863 3,195,000 1,661,603 914,822 $ 89,700,288 $ 225,015,599 05/22/97 11:01 AM m:\finance\budget\book-wk\APPROP98.WK4 ~~ County of Roanoke Proposed FY 1997-98 Budget May 27, 1997 Expenditures: General Government: General Administration Board of Supervisors County Administrator Community Relations Asst.

AT A REGULAR NIEETTNG OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOI~ COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Authorizing Change in Designation of Grantee of Cable Television Franchise from Cox Communications Roanoke, Inc. to CoxCom, Inc. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: On April 23, 1991, the Board of Supervisors enacted Ordinance 42391-15 which authorized the granting to Cox Communications Roanoke, a Delaware corporation operating as Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc., a franchise to operate a cable television system within a portion of the temtorial limits of Roanoke County designated as the "franchise area." In accordance with the terms of this ordinance, a Cable Television Franchise Agreement dated May 1, 1991, was entered into and executed by the County of Roanoke, Virginia and Cox Communications Roanoke, Inc. doing business as Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Cox Communications Roanoke, Inc. was created as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cox Communications, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. Cox Communications Roanoke, Inc. was the owner and franchisee of cable systems solely in Roanoke City, Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton. As of April 11, 1997, Cox Communications, Inc. has merged this subsidiary with and into another wholly owned subsidiary, CoxCom, Inc., which is the franchisee of a number of Cox cable systems. This change in corporate structure will not involve any change in the operation or control of this cable system or any change in personnel. / " .~ The original franchise granted to Cox Communications Roanoke, Inc. d/b/a Cox Cable Roanoke, Inc. requires that the Board of Supervisors must consent to any transfer of this franchise.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: The Dixie Caverns Landfill was operated by Roanoke County from 1965 to 1976. During the operation of the landfill, municipal waste was inadvertently buried on the adjacent property owned by Atlas Explosives (now ICI Explosives USA Inc.). Completion of all EPA requirements for closure is anticipated in July. This will be the final resolution of the Consent Order and will mean that Dixie Caverns can be removed from the Superfund Priority List. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Staff has been negotiating the acquisition of this property from ICI for the past several years. Our concern is the potential liability that could result from current or future owners due to the buried waste and the accompanying leachate flows within the site. The acquisition of this property will give us the ability to properly maintain the entire "filled" area and to conduct any needed testing, sampling, or monitoring. It also preserves the area in which the majority of the leachate production occurs due to the slope and topography of the land. And it allows us to establish an appropriate buffer from the municipal waste-filled area to any property boundary. Attached is a plat of survey for the parcel. sy FISCAL IMPACTS: Funds in the amount of $9,800.00 are available in the Dixie Caverns cleanup account for the purchase of this property. The purchase price is based upon an independent appraisal. No additional funding is required. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Purchase the site. 2. Do not purchase the site at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative 1 to adopt the attached ordinance and purchase the site. SUBMITTED BY: ~- George .Simpson, III, P.E.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF APPROXIMATELY 34 ACRES OF REAL ESTATE FOR RIDGE LINE PROTECTION COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS : ,r,/; ~~-~-6~i~?.~~ This ordinance authorizes the acquisition of approximately 34 acres of real estate on Green Ridge, in order to protect and preserve a portion of this environmentally-significant ridge line and viewshed. BACKGROUND• Over the past several years the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors has taken several significant steps to protect and preserve environmentally-significant locations in the Roanoke Valley. These steps include viewshed protection along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the commencement of construction of the first multi- jurisdictional green way in the Roanoke Valley (Hanging Rock), support for the establishment of the Roanoke Valley Green way Commission, and initial steps for the creation of planning mechanisms within the Comprehensive Plan for the protection of ridge lines. Roanoke County has been approached by an anonymous donor with a proposal for the donation of private funds for the acquisition of real estate for the purpose of preserving and protecting ridge lines and view sheds in the County. Roanoke County now has the opportunity to acquire approximately 34 acres along Green Ridge to protect and preserve an environmentally-significant ridge line and viewshed. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: This ordinance authorizes the acquisition of Tax Map Parcel Number 26.01-1-20, consisting of approximately 34 acres of real estate. The first reading of this ordinance is scheduled for May 13, 1997; and the second reading is scheduled for May 27, 1997. 1 / "'~ Attached to this Board report is a revised draft "Roanoke County Board of Supervisors Guidelines for Acquiring Environmentally-Sensitive Property" for Board consideration and adoption at the second reading of this ordinance on May 27, 1997. These Policy Guidelines are intended to provide direction to the Board and to the public in the acceptance and use of donations of environmentally sensitive properties in the County. These guidelines will assist the Board in evaluating each proposal with respect to conservation goals and stewardship abilities. It is anticipated that this acquisition of real estate can be accomplished for the sum of $45,000. This sum would be in the form of an anonymous donation. In addition the Board must have a Phase I environmental audit completed for this property; a baseline documentation report (to determine the conservation value of the property and to document key resources on the property); survey; title examination and title insurance; and review by the Planning Commission for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with Section 15.1-456 of the State Code. In addition the Board should authorize the County Administrator to execute an agreement with the anonymous donor to limit the future use of this real estate to ridge line and viewshed protection; limited, passive, recreational use (hiking trails); and preventing any future high intensity uses or development. The purchase price of $45,000 will be received from an anonymous donor. Ancillary costs and expenses described above should not exceed $5,000; and these expenses should be appropriated from the Board's Contingency Fund. ALTERNATIVES' The Board may either accept this donation of funds from an anonymous donor to acquire this environmentally-significant ridge line and viewshed, or refuse to accept the donation and acquire this real estate. It is recommended that the Board favorably consider: (1) the adoption of the attached ordinance, authorizing the acquisition of this real estate; (2) the adoption of the "Roanoke County Board of Supervisors Guidelines for Acquiring Environmentally-Sensitive Property" ; 2 (3) the acceptance of the $45,000 donation and the appropriation of said donation for the acquisition of this real estate; and (4) the appropriation of $5,000 from the Board's contingency fund for related expenses.

Mahoney, County Attorney Terry Harrington, Director, Planning & Zoning John W. Birckhead, Director, Real Estate Assessment Diane D. Hyatt, Director, Finance ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GUIDELINES FOR ACQUIRING ENVIRONMENTALLY-SENSITIVE PROPERTY BACKGROUND From time-to-time, the County maybe approached with a proposal for the donation of money, or the direct transfer of real estate, or the granting of an easement, for the purpose of protecting view sheds, establishing green way corridors, or for the acquisition of other environmentally-sensitive areas in the County. In response to these potential donations, the Board of Supervisors has adopted the following guidelines for the acceptance and use of such donations. These guidelines are intended to provide direction to the Board and to the public, but are not to be considered as regulations. Circumstances may warrant departure from these guidelines in specific cases. Roanoke County takes its stewardship role seriously. When the County accepts environmentally sensitive property through donation it has made a significant commitment to protect that property in perpetuity. Consequently, the Board must carefully evaluate each proposal with respect to the County's conservation goals and stewardship abilities. GUIDELINES The following guidelines are to be considered by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors in evaluating proposals for donations intended to protect or establish environmentally-sensitive areas in the County. These guidelines shall apply to both the donation of money to acquire a particular parcel of real estate and to the actual donation of real estate or easement. 1. The acquisition of the specific property shall benefit the public and shall conform with the County's conservation goals. These goals are sufficiently broad to include a wide variety of lands. The Board uses the following criteria to evaluate lands being considered for protection by asking if the land has one or more of the following characteristics: A. Does it include unique local scenic viewpoints or outstanding physiographic features (for example, intact ridge lines, distinct outcroppings, waterfalls, bluffs) that help define the character of our locale and enhance our community's sense of place? B. Does it include lands that have the potential to be a part of a community or regional green way system? C. Does it include lands that have the potential to be part of a County, state or federal park system or contribute, due to proximity and visibility, to the protection of such public lands? D. Does it include lands of agricultural, forestry or scenic significance? E. Does it include lands that are valuable as open space due to their proximity to developing areas, their prominence in the perception of community identity or their high scenic value? F. Does it include wetlands, flood plains or other lands that are important to the protection of water quality? G. Does it include lands that contain endangered, threatened or rare species or natural communities? H. Does it include lands that are of historical or cultural value or are adjacent to sites of historical or cultural value and will therefore, contribute to the protection of that value? 2. The Board shall assess the total costs associated with acquiring and managing these properties. These costs shall include: A. Baseline Documentation Report -The costs associated with determining the conservation value of the property and identifying and documenting key resources of the property. B. Stewardship -The costs associated with owning the property or easement. C. Environmental Liability -The costs associated with determining that the property is free of environmental liability or for correcting environmental deficiencies. D. Enforcement -The costs of enforcing the terms of the donation or acquisition. 3. The Board shall direct the Planning Commission to review, identify and prioritize real estate in the County deserving of protection and include and identify such properties in the County Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. 4. The Board, pursuant to Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia, shall request Planning Commission review and recommendation for any proposed acquisition or acceptance of real estate or easement, to evaluate conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The Board shall review each proposal for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive real estate and determine the appropriate level and extent of public use of such properties. In making this determination the Board shall take into consideration the conservation value of the property and the extent to which public use may enhance or threaten that value. 6. The Board shall determine what County department or other entity shall have long-term stewardship responsibility for each property. In doing so, the Board shall give consideration to the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission, the Western Virginia Land Trust, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and other organizations where appropriate. 7. The Board shall consider appropriating monies as a lump sum or on an annual basis to the department or entity identified in #6 above for the long-term stewardship costs of such properties. 8. The Board shall encourage donations of money or property from private individuals and organizations, or from public entities, to further the objectives of these guidelines.

C:\OFFICE\WPWIIV\WPDOCS\ AGENDA\REALE5I'\RIDGELIN.PRO ~.J - ROANOKE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GUIDELINES FOR ACQUIRING ENVIRONMENTALLY-SENSITIVE PROPERTY BACKGROUND From time-to-time, the County maybe approached with a proposal for the donation of money, or the direct transfer of real estate, or the granting of an easement, for the purpose of protecting view sheds, establishing green way corridors, or for the acquisition of other envirorunentally-sensitive areas in the County. In response to these potential donations, the Board of Supervisors has adopted the following guidelines for the acceptance and use of such donations. These guidelines are intended to provide direction to the Board and to the public, but are not to be considered as regulations. Circumstances may warrant departure from these guidelines in specific cases. Roanoke County takes its stewardship role seriously. When the County accepts environmentally sensitive property through donation it has made a significant commitment to protect that property in perpetuity. Consequently, the Board must carefully evaluate each proposal with respect to the County's conservation goals and stewardship abilities. CAS ,~ t~.'~~- The following guidelines are to be considered by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors in evaluating proposals for donations intended to protect or establish environmentally-sensitive areas in the County. These guidelines shall apply to both the donation of money to acquire a particular parcel of real estate and to the actual donation of real estate or easement. The acquisition of the specific property shall benefit the public and shall conform with the County's conservation goals. These goals are sufficiently broad to include a wide variety of lands. The Board uses the following criteria to evaluate lands being considered for protection by asking if the land has one or more of the following characteristics: A. Does it include unique local scenic viewpoints or outstanding physiographic features (for example, intact ridge lines, distinct outcroppings, waterfalls, bluffs) that help define the character of our locale and enhance our community's sense of place? B. Does it include lands that have the potential to be a part of a community or regional green way system? C. Does it include lands that have the potential to be part of a County, state or federal park system or contribute, due to proximity and visibility, to the protection of such public lands? D. Does it include lands of agricultural, forestry or scenic significance? E. Does it include lands that are valuable as open space due to their proximity to developing areas, their prominence in the perception of community identity or their high scenic value? F. Does it include wetlands, flood plains or other lands that are important to the protection of water quality? G. Does it include lands that contain endangered, threatened or rare species or natural communities? H. Does it include lands that are of historical or cultural value or are adjacent to sites of historical or cultural value and will therefore, contribute to the protection of that value? 2. The Board shall assess the total costs associated with acquiring and managing these properties. These costs shall include: A. Baseline Documentation Report -The costs associated with determining the conservation value of the property and identifying and documenting key resources of the property. B. Stewardship -The costs associated with owing the property or easement. C. Environmental Liability -The costs associated with determining that the property is free of environmental liability or for correcting environmental deficiencies. D. Enforcement -The costs of enforcing the terms of the donation or acquisition. 3. The Board shall direct the Planning Commission to review, identify and prioritize real estate in the County deserving of protection and include and identify such properties in the County Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. 4. The Board, pursuant to Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia, shall request Planning Commission review and recommendation for any proposed acquisition or acceptance of real estate or easement, to evaluate conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Board shall review each proposal for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive real estate and determine the appropriate level and extent of public use of such properties. In making this determination the Board shall take into consideration the conservation value of the property and the extent to which public use may enhance or threaten that value. 6. The Board shall determine what County department or other entity shall have long-term stewardship responsibility for each property. In doing so, the Board shall give consideration to the Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission, the Western Virginia Land Trust, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and other organizations where appropriate. ~.J 7. The Board shall consider appropriating monies as a lump sum or on an annual basis to the department or entity identified in #6 above for the long-term stewardship costs of such properties. 8. The Board shall encourage donations of money or property from private individuals and organizations, or from public entities, to further the objectives of these guidelines.

There is a $50.00 annual service fee which covers cost of a set of maps, and a ($.50) cents per minute connection charge which covers phone lines, modem, computer time, etc. We are now at the point of needing an additional line which would be covered in the per minute rates. Staff would like to establish this public inquiry system as a self-supporting program. Revenues received this fiscal year. collected for the service would be used for expenses and enhancements to the program. Approximately $1,200.00 has been 4 ~~~ ~'~~~AL IMPACT: It is requested that the revenues from this service be applied to the budget of Department of Real Estate Assessments to cover these costs.

After discussion with the Board, we need to have official approval so that we may communicate these changes to the CORTRAN ridership in advance of the proposed implementation date. $35,000 has been included in the new budget for the covered changes and we are also suggesting a $2.50 fare per one way trip to offset the costs and allow the riders to have an investment in the program. Staff recommends holding the work session and then adopting the proposed changes during the evening session at the May 27 meeting. Respectfully submitted, Approv d by, i a ~ ~~~,-lam ''r-r~-~ n M.

ITEM NUMBER AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Request to Approve Proposed Changes to the CORTRAN Transportation System Effective July 1, 1997 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~+ -Gt (,~~~~.~tu-t3-~~-tai( BACKGROUND: CORTRAN is the paratransit transportation system operated for the County of Roanoke by RADAR (Unified Human Services Transportation System) which serves the population of the County of Roanoke and the Town of Vinton. Eligible riders include persons aged 60 or above as certified by the League of Older Americans and persons who are physically challenged who are certified by Easter Seal. CORTRAN provides demand-responsive, curb-to-curb transportation services utilizing wheelchair-lift vans. This system provides transportation to any point within the perimeter of Roanoke County including points within the City of Roanoke and City of Salem. Persons can use this system to go to medical appointments, shopping, work, socialization, or other needs. Under the present system, the person is required to phone 24 hours to a week in advance to get an appointment (time slot) for service. The service has been free and operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The City of Roanoke and Valley Metro operate their STAR program, also provided by RADAR, to meet the paratransit service needs of the residents of the City of Roanoke and other localities that pay for Valley Metro service. "~ ~ ~ The following changes are recommended to be implemented effective July 1, 1997 for the CORTRAN system: - Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Riders will be required to pay a $2.50 fare for each one-way trip which will be paid directly to RADAR (CORTRAN). - Riders will be able to call one day in advance to two weeks in advance to schedule rides. Persons who regularly use CORTRAN at least three times per week to the same destination and at the same time for work, medical appointments, etc. may be placed on a route system to maximize the efficiency of the CORTRAN benefit to all County residents. FISCAL IMPACT: $35,000 has been added to the County budget for public transportation services ($105,200 total) to pay for these services. The $2.50 fare per one-way trip will be paid directly to CORTRAN to offset their costs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the changes to the CORTRAN program outlined above be approved effective July 1, 1997. RADAR (CORTRAN) should also be authorized to collect and retain the $2.50 fare per one-way trip to help pay for the cost of this service. Respectfully submitted, Approv d by, John M.

The first aspect of this outreach program was the visioning process. This process involved over 800 citizens in the development of a vision of what Roanoke County would be like in the year 2010. This process was concluded in June of 1996 with the publishing of the Vision Report: The Changing Century -Roanoke County 2010 -. The second aspect of the outreach program was to develop a neighborhood based citizen participation element. This element was designed to identify issues at the neighborhood level. Additionally, this effort involved using the findings of the visioning process and relating them back to the neighborhood level. In order to accomplish this task the Board of Supervisors appointed a Citizen Advisory Committee. This committee developed the process which resulted in the creation of neighborhood councils. The members of the councils were selected by the Citizen Advisory Committee and they represented various neighborhood based organizations. The Community Plan Forum was the conclusion of this neighborhood outreach process. This process ultimately involved over 200 citizens. In total there were over 1,000 citizens involved in both aspects of the outreach program. This report represents the results of both the Visioning Process and the Neighborhood Council Process as it relates to the desires and needs of the County's citizens. ~ Part 1 -The Vision Report Introduction In 1995, at the request of the Board of Supervisors, the citizens of Roanoke County initiated a strategic planning process called visioning. The purpose of this process was to build a vision for the future of Roanoke County that is based on community consensus and reflects the community's values. In March 1995 a thirteen member citizen Steering Committee was formed to administer and guide the vision process. This committee hosted a public meeting the following month to get input from citizens and community leaders on a shared vision of what we want our community to become. The Steering Committee formed ten focus groups to discuss and prepare recommendations on the following topics: Agriculture and Forestry, Economic Development, Public Education, Technology, Resource Preservation, Transportation, Growth Management and Planning, Government Relations, Recreation and Culture and Housing. These focus groups involved over 200 citizen volunteers. The focus groups met through out the summer of 1995 and in the fall presented their recommendations to the Steering Committee and Board of Supervisors. There were 5 key issues, or principles of action, that emerged from the focus group reports. These issues cut across the thinking that County citizens brought to the vision process and are as follows: • Regionalism -The County must take the lead in finding new and innovative ways to look beyond our political boundaries for solutions to the challenges of the next century. • Sustainability -The County and its citizens must begin to focus more on the common good and less on individual needs. Initiatives for a sustainable future must capture the support and cooperation of citizens, schools, religious groups, businesses and volunteer organizations. • Community Identity -Roanoke County citizens identify very closely with their neighborhoods and school districts. Efforts must be taken to preserve the elements of our community identity that provide gathering places for the exchange of information and Support. :v::.. v:::: •:; ......,.,:Q ..............:............................... . ............... ........:.. .... ~..\ .v..

Steps must be taken to develop sound conservation policies for our dwindling farm lands, mountain sides and ridges, rivers and streams, soil and air. These resources are considered by many to be our region's greatest asset. • Quality of Life -The citizens of Roanoke County recognize that there exists a fragile balance between economic growth and prosperity and the preservation of a way of life that is cherished by many. Proactive steps must be taken to manage growth in a positive way - to act conservatively and with deliberation when making decisions that will affect our high quality of life and that of our children's children.

Roanoke County has initiated and achieved proactive relationships with County citizens, businesses, other municipalities, colleges and universities, and social, cultural and recreational organizations. The citizens of Roanoke County have benefited from the County's cooperation and collaboration with each of these groups through specific projects and activities. This high level of regionalism has been accomplished through state- of- the-art citizen involvement programs that have included voting, citizen groups and civic leagues, citizen volunteers, citizen advisory committees and ombudsmen, and town meetings. An efficient and technologically sophisticated level of communication has been established between the County government, and the citizens it serves, that allows County citizens to be directly involved in their government. The proactive, cooperative efforts that the County has provided leadership for have resulted in a more efficient government, with reduced costs, and a government structure that is able to provide services to its citizens in a more effective manner. As a result of regularly scheduled meetings between local government officials and staff, a great deal of compatibility has been achieved between governmental services such as zoning, permitting and building codes. This has enhanced the marketability of the Roanoke Valley as a place to live, play and do business. The regional quality of life in Roanoke County has been enhanced by an active and on-going relationship with the colleges and universities in the New Century Region. In addition, as a result of improved communications and support, the availability of human, cultural and recreational services to all citizens has been improved.

In these cooperative efforts, Roanoke County government leads the way, thereby ensuring the prosperity and happiness of the citizens of Roanoke County. Resource Preservation In 2010, Roanoke County can be found picturesquely nestled within the embrace of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains of Virginia. Its natural features -- mountain tops, forests, productive soil, free flowing streams, fresh air, and wildlife -- as well as its spectacular mountain vistas and cultural heritage, serve to distinguish the greater Roanoke Valley as a uniquely attractive urban center. The allure of the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, as they wind through groves of rhododendrons, hemlocks, hickories, oaks and pines .. . past banks of lady slippers and trillium ...remind citizens of the value of this • natural gem and fosters an enduring stewardship ethic. In the year 2010, Roanoke County citizens have welcomed and adopted environmentally sound growth policies, successfully integrating both sustainable economic and population growth with the preservation of its natural, scenic, and historic resources. Recognizing that our natural systems are vital to providing both economic needs and quality of life for all citizens, sustainable development has become the hallmark of County planning. Key vision statements of the Resource Preservation Focus Group • In 2010, Roanoke County has incorporated principles of sustainability into County ordinances. These principles will maximize energy efficiency and minimize waste and pollution. To assist with this effort, the County has adopted and enacted local interpretations of the recommendations of the "Blueprint for Sustainable Development of Virginia", while bolstering industry through a variety of incentives to adhere to these standards. • In 2010, Roanoke County continues to support the educational effort of Explore Park and includes environmental education in the public school curriculum. . 3`:'v5''.{.2•• >8::`7:'txr..:.~.:.;.;.r,....:`~:'t~: :.' :b£<:::: •ea:;{•;..... ; ..;ay+. t •:, k,:}+. ~•^ct•:..•+cr:.;,. i...:h4 ..

Services have been extended, in a planned and orderly manner, to meet housing demands. Transportation In 2010, transportation in Roanoke County is readily available to citizens through a variety of modes: automobiles, bicycles, pedestrian walks and public transit via bus, van and light rail. As the County's population continues to age, public transit has become even more relevant to maintaining a high quality of life. Previously disadvantaged segments of the County population are now better served by the evolving mix of transportation alternatives. The elderly, the young, the poor, the physically and mentally challenged and one-car households can now travel with relative ease. Over the past 15 years, Roanoke County has given consideration to issues of sustainable development when making transportation decisions. The County has used resources efficiently while preserving as much as possible for future generations. Roanoke County has also worked in conceRoute with transportation agencies to protect natural resources.

Transportation planning has worked in conjunction with sound growth management and planning policies. Growth is encouraged where adequate roads and other transportation systems exist. In areas where future growth is desired, road and public transportation systems are planned and developed. Where growth is to be controlled, new roads are not built, but existing roads are maintained. Since the turn of the century, the .County has encouraged cluster development. This trend has reduced the miles of new roads, preserved open space and protected natural resources. Continuing a trend begun in 1995, the County has accepted more responsibility for its own transportation network. Citizen input is encouraged during the early stages of transportation planning and the County acts as ombudsman for citizens concerns. Over the past 15 years, County citizens have become more proactive and more informed about transportation planning and alternatives. Key vision statements from the transportation Focus Group • In 2010, Roanoke County roads are well maintained. New roads are initiated and planned in cooperation with VDOT and with a high level of citizen participation. Transportation planning is carried out in conjunction with the County Comprehensive Plan. New roads are designed to accommodate large vehicles and incorporate new technology wherever possible. The design and construction of new roads is accomplished in an environmentally sensitive manner, protecting natural resources and minimizing various forms of pollution. • In 2010, Roanoke County, Roanoke City and Salem City have encouraged the growth of public transit throughout the Roanoke Valley. An active and successful public relations campaign has resulted in increased ridership. Public transit is now a vital link in the Valley's multi-modal transportation network. ••sa,i•:n~F•`~~tuw`.s.)..:.......nt•.~t~o+.~t:23"c„u`.<minoL.~ GGto~.u.ur'•~w:«i~<: • .u'csxk•:rrr ~•. o. ••ak„s`x ~.'~'h'. r.: nr „•:..t..~.:sacc:i::~3 ......... /iiti e<'i' • In 2010, Roanoke County has incorporated the efficient movement of freight into the overall transportation system design.

Growth Management and Planning In 2010, Roanoke County planning and growth management are carried out under the concept of sustainability -present needs are met without compromising future needs. These strategies are accomplished while improving the quality of life of County residents, on a long term basis. ! Strategies to foster this concept of positive growth management have been developed with full citizen participation. Communication methods, utilizing current technological resources, have been developed to encourage citizen participation at the early stages of project planning. As a result, Roanoke County has a highly involved citizenry who are knowledgeable in planning principles, proactively participate in the planning process, and believe they can influence that process. Due largely to the high level of citizen involvement, Roanoke County in 2010 is a good place to live, work and play. Key vision statements of the Growth Management and Planning Focus Group • In 2010, Roanoke County growth management provides for greenways and open space as an integral part of communities and individual lifestyles. • In 2010, Roanoke County has addressed the impacts of strategies to provide for sustainability within growth management.

This strategy has encouraged and enabled citizens to use alternative forms of transportation such as pedestrian corridors, bicycle paths and public transit. • In 2010, Roanoke County allows flexibility, within a consistent framework of sustainable development, to encourage community redevelopment, commercial development, infill development and industrial revitalization while preserving neighborhood stability and property values. This planning process is successful due to extensive community and private sector involvement. • In 2010, Roanoke County transportation planning is an integral part of growth management strategies. Following through with a trend begun in 1995, Roanoke County citizens have continued to be pro-active participants in the transportation planning process. • In 2010, Roanoke County growth management strategies and sustainability are guided and measured by a system of benchmarks established with citizen input. This results in a highly involved citizenry who are knowledgeable in planning principals, proactively participate in the planning process, and believe they can influence the process. Agriculture and Forestry In 2010, Roanoke County has taken deliberate actions to support farming and forestry as viable rural lifestyle options. As the world around us urbanizes, there is an increased awareness, appreciation and pride that farming contributes over $12.5 million dollars in sales to the economy each year. Due to increased knowledge and sensitivity to issues such as quality of life, resource protection, sustainable development and growth management, trends in the late 20th century, showing a declining numbers of acres devoted to farming, have been arrested. There is a renewed appreciation for the importance of farming and the rural lifestyle for both those who actively participate in that way of life and those who simply enjoy knowing it is there, in close proximity to most citizens of Roanoke County. Balanced, equitable and widely supported land-use policies to preserve rural areas of the County -including cluster housing, historical districts, open • space easements and land trusts -have been achieved through cooperative efforts of citizens and County government. Rural residents are directly represented, have been continuously consulted and advised, and are involved in the day-today decisions that effect their rural lifestyles. Small, part-time farms remain the dominate agriculture in Roanoke County. Due to technological advances and the active cooperation of local markets, grocers and restaurants many Roanoke Valley businesses support local farmers by purchasing and selling their farm products and proudly displaying "Grown in the Roanoke Valley" signs. At the turn of the century, forestry management practices in the Roanoke Valley are undertaken in recognition that forestry resources provide visual and aesthetic beauty, contribute to the economy and enhance the overall quality of life in the Valley. While recognizing these attributes, forestry clear-cutting is only undertaken when essential and using sound management practices. Key vision statements of the Agriculture and Forestry Focus Group include • In 2010, Roanoke County has taken action to identify and establish distinct rural areas worthy of preservation that • will balance the rights of property owners while protecting the productive value of rural lands. • In 2010, Roanoke County has implemented policies to tax rural land on its specific value for agriculture and/or forestry production. • In 2010, Roanoke County has taken action to reinforce the "right to farm" and there exists a high level of mutual respect between farmers, non-farm owners and rural visitors of individual property rights, responsibilities and privacy. • In 2010, Roanoke County has established markets for small scale farm and forestry products that support and sustain a viable rural land-based economy and robust farmers' markets in the Valley. },.,•}•.v:;:'{' •ti~':;i:?:{?:.{ ~4. frl:•i~•:{:}4'Y{i,~i,>.'•::}Y,~L;:;:i;:i>.;i~•': Ff•F~in}:':;'.i`•;;.+•.+•j3{. ~. r::i}}•. •,{;'•, '{: ,:ti; ESL :}};: n, •}} 4:}„rr},{x.' •.{ { '• :.... .; }}\~{, x$y,;.,+,c;'.

There continues to be strong recognition that these resources are critical components of the quality of life of the region. • In 2010, Roanoke County has established and has been operating a level of public services, particularly fire and rescue, to the rural areas that is appropriate and consistent with the needs of an aging rural population. • In 2010, Roanoke County has established mechanisms so that rural residents are directly represented, consulted, advised and involved in their local government. Economic Development and Tourism In 2010, Roanoke County has taken advantage of its prime location in the mid-Atlantic region and has overcome the economic development challenges of • four local governments, topography and limited infrastructure. The County has cooperated, for mutual benefit, with other local governments in the New Century Region to avail itself of a qualified work force, atop-ranked public school system, beautiful scenery and a high quality of life to attract environmentally friendly, small, diverse industries. Support for the Roanoke Valley Economic Development Partnership has been expanded, resulting in increased marketing and promotional activities. The Partnership has focused primarily on attracting a major industry to replace Norfolk-Southern and Dominion Bank and has continued activities to attract multiple small to medium-size companies in the light manufacturing field. A partnership has been developed with other Roanoke Valley governments to promote visitor, sporting and recreational attractions. This partnership works closely with citizens, the National Park Service, the US Forest Service, local Parks and Recreation departments and other organizations interested in tourism to plan, schedule, promote and coordinate events.

The local governments have provided the necessary infrastructure to permit full usage and enjoyment of our scenic resources -both private and public -such as a regional greenway system, pedestrian friendly roads, campgrounds and recreational vehicle parking areas. Strong incentives have been put into place to encourage developers to include dedicated lands and connected greenways in all new development projects. ,, • In 2010, Roanoke County has taken the lead to preserve our most valuable natural asset, the scenic environment and natural ridge lines of the mountains surrounding the Roanoke Valley. Recreation and Culture In 2010, Roanoke County's recreational and cultural resources are valued by citizens, and appreciated by visitors, for their contributions to the quality of life of this area. The high level of recreational and cultural offerings in the Roanoke Valley has become an integral part of County and regional economic development efforts. Every citizen of Roanoke County has a park within walking distance of their home. Improved public transportation networks, bicycle trails, greenways and pedestrian walkways provide easy access to these parks and other recreational and cultural sites. This high level of accessibility results in a high level of public support for funding. A one half of one percent sales tax has been adopted with the proceeds dedicated to recreational and cultural facilities and programs. Roanoke County citizens are involved in park planning and exhibit their commitment to recreational and cultural programs through a high level of volunteer activity. • Recreational and cultural programs are well integrated into the County's educational system and have provided the basis for closer ties to area colleges and universities. Virginia's Explore Park has become a nationally recognized environmental and cultural education center, zoo, and performing arts venue. Key vision statement of the Recreation and Culture Focus Group • In 2010, Roanoke County -through unique initiatives and as a result of reciprocal arrangements and partnership efforts with neighboring local governments and private entities- is nationally known as a preeminent East Coast recreational and cultural center and is the major recreational and cultural center on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Awareness of the County's unique and high quality recreational and cultural programs is reflected in large audiences, a high level of individual participation and volunteer activity, broad-based financial support, a healthy citizenry and increased tourism. Technology and Communications In 2010, Roanoke County citizens are able to work where they live and live where they work, due to significant and even startling technological advances. A decade beyond the turn of the century, and due to positive steps the County has taken, a very high quality of life has been combined with technological education, skills, training and resources to make Roanoke County the envy of the Valley and an attractive place for businesses and industries to locate. Roanoke County citizens have access to "direct democracy" through home computer technology that allows them to voice their opinions on, and comment about, issues before the various County boards and commissions. Citizens have access to new technology through their homes, work places, and public facilities such as libraries, schools, or technical centers. These positive steps, along with adequate education and training for both adults and children, have avoided the potential problems of two classes of people -those with technological skills and those without. These great technological strides have been accomplished through cooperative efforts between citizens, industries and governments. Committees have been established to keep track of fast changing technological advances, to ensure inter-connectedness and compatibility between users and to keep abreast of future training needs. As a result, information transfer and use is seamless across municipal boundaries, encouraging the use of new technologies, services and information systems. n14•: ii4: L+.... :ir•:•:{+•'C}•~ v:•:ti~:•'~:•:. rn ...M.•:tti:{::•.. ••ti.::• :i•i`~. ••: •.:o... 5::;:J ti;'s',•'~; ?~ •.:::, ,<~tt~ :,5:t)Y::::Y, .{• .>: y`~tt;;av,;:,tt.. +•:'#,:;5,,.; • , `; ~`~ ~x>;•.

Public Education In 2010, Roanoke County emphasizes a philosophy of lifelong learning for all County citizens. This philosophy addresses the needs of a high technology society and worker retraining as well as the critical need to develop a sense of responsibility and productivity in school children while preparing them for the work force. Education in Roanoke County is provided at all levels -from pre-school to adult education. A high quality school administration recognizes the importance of on-going professional development and the benefits of providing a level of compensation that will attract the best qualified administrators, teachers and support staff. School buildings are appropriate for their multiple purposes and are well • maintained. Classrooms are of adequate size to avoid overcrowding and to allow a low student/teacher ratio. ~ .{ ;;::}:;.,~ v r::.::.: •::.v.: •. n•. ;:..}•: .;:::::.v; . ..,.:: k, . ,:$•ii:iL n k,;F,H• } r., i •F.

This has enabled the schools to design curriculum that meets the needs of their students entering the work force and takes full advantage of mentorships and resources available through the corporate work force. In addition, other community resources have been utilized to their fullest. The public library system is linked and is interactive with the public school library system. The vast resources at area community colleges have been tapped. In acknowledgment of the commitment to lifelong education, Roanoke County has successfully encouraged senior citizens to become school tutors and volunteers. As has always been the case, the single most critical factor in the success of the Roanoke County public school system is the high level of involvement from parents and other members of the community. This involvement has been encouraged and facilitated by the school administrations commitment to neighborhood schools. Key vision statement of the Public Education Focus Group • In 2010, Roanoke County provides access to world class educational services to all citizens. The educational focus is to prepare learners for the work place and to develop in them characteristics of responsible, productive members of society for whom learning is a lifelong endeavor. n LJ ' %7::., ,', `;,}.'•.>.':.>'+•:%:+:+'t•.},:i•~ti'4:;: •~,s:.~y '<•':::::.vy<:. ,:,;~,:;. ~';: •.;:5•;::;••' , .,..•::.•.:,+. : ytity:.,y.. •. }',:•+'••:..::.:y., • `••..•..»}•+ •S •,o ,}y O:v.:, yu..k•,.y\,±::~.E ~:~ :.. a. ..~ 2 ,, < ,.

The purpose of the plan is to assess the County's various characteristics such as land use, transportation, housing, resource management and community facilities. This document would be used in the daily decision making process in the County. To accomplish this it was felt that the attitudes, opinions, and concerns of the residents of the County should be solicited and incorporated into the planning process. The purpose of this document is to describe the citizen participation process undertaken and to summarize the comments received. To obtain the input from the County's residents a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) was created. The Board of Supervisors were asked to appoint two members from each Community Planning Area to the CAC. One of the appointments was to be a business owner/representative and the other one was a resident. The CAC held its first meeting in August of 1996. The CAC was given the task to formulate the citizen participation process, and to begin a preliminary scopping process of what they saw as issues confronting the County over the next 10 years. The CAC met during the fall of 1996 and by December developed a citizen participation process. This process involved the creation of neighborhood councils in each of the County's 12 Community Planning Areas. The CAC appointed leaders of community based organizations to serve on the neighborhood council. The CAC's objective for the establishment of the neighborhood council process is: "To assure the plan reflects the desires of the majority of the citizens for the future of Roanoke County; and, to expand the sphere of influence the Community Plan will have in guiding decisions in the future for our Roanoke County community." The Neighborhood Council Packet Each member of the neighborhood council received a packet of information pertaining to that particular Community Planning Area. These packets were composed of 7 elements. First, the packet contained general information about what constitutes a Community Plan. Secondly, a brief . summary of the County's existing Community Plan was included in the packet. Additionally, the role of the neighborhood council and a flow chart showing the ~~ k.. ''' try rti ~`. }+r ....frfrSfi~^~in.'{. ....'> > >:,f ~'•~+~~.a:~i'<+>y ~{R,... • .., ~ +' ... .e4. ~ix~'. > .... r ... structure of the planning process with approximate dates for each component was included in the packet. The fourth element was the instructions for the exercises that the neighborhood councils were to do between the first and second meeting. The next element was a roster of the neighborhood council members (names, addresses, and telephone numbers) and the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The sixth element was a series of charts reflecting demographic information for each Community Planning Area. Finally, the last element was generalized zoning and land use maps of the Community Planning Area. Appendix A contains a sample neighbofiood packet with all of the above elements except for the maps which are included within each neighborhood council section. First Meeting of the Neighborhood Councils The meeting of the neighborhood councils were held during January and February of 1997. The first round meeting identified the °Hot Button" issues at the community level. These issues were centered around three main themes which are land use, public facilities, and resources. Land use refers to the current and future use of land in the County. To more fully understand this aspect and to see where the County currently stands a generalized zoning map and land use map was provided to each neighborhood council member. Public facilities refer to such things as parks, utilities, transportation, libraries, schools, and public safety (police, fire, & rescue). Resources included such topics as the natural environment (air and water quality), greenways, ridgeline protection, open space and viewsheds. Neighborhood Council Exercises After the first meeting, the councils were asked to perform a few exercises and bring their results to the second meeting. These exercises included the identification of community symbols; such as parks, significant buildings, vistas, and similar objects. The council members were also asked to locate parcels that they felt would be key to the future development of the community. These key parcels, as they were called, would influence how that community developed in the future. If a particular parcel was developed in one fashion it could enhance the community, while if it developed in another fashion it would be a detriment to the community. Additionally, the councils were to identify resources located within the community. Resources may include but are not limited to schools, parks, open spaces, creeks, rivers, and bodies of water and similar types of man-made or natural features. Finally, the members of the neighborhood councils were asked to list sites that were aesthetically appealing and non- appealing and describe why they felt this way. The main purpose of this exercise was to provide a sense of °proper" design for that community. n U • Second Meeting of Neighborhood Councils During the second meeting the council first discussed what sites the council members found appealing and non-appealing. These sites were listed on newsprint. The second aspect of the meeting was to use large (24 by 36) tax maps of each community and to identify key resources and parcels as well as symbols of community identity. All the information collected during both neighborhood council meetings was used to prepare documents and illustrations that reveal the values and desires of each community. The councils then prioritized the "Hot Button issues that were identified during the first meeting. The method used to prioritize these issues was to give each council member 9 colored dots. Each dot represented a vote. The votes were weighted as to their importance. The council process served as an invaluable tool to engage the local citizens in the County's planning process. One of the promising elements of this process is that it serves as a beginning for a network of communication that truly reaches the grass roots on a more personal level. Following the second neighborhood council meeting, staff worked to compile the information generated by the councils into a consistent format. This involved taking photographs of the appealing and non-appealing sites, refining the maps, and sending all information back to council members for a final review. Community Forum To further provide for a neighborhood based planning process a community forum was held in May of 1997. The purpose of the forum was to exhibit the results of the neighborhood council process. This meeting was an open house with booths to display the work of each neighborhood council. Additionally, other interests were invited to examine this information and present their views in relation to the issues facing the County in the future. The Community Forum was held at Cave Spring High School on Saturday, May 17, 1997, from 9 am to 12 noon. There were over 110 citizens in attendance. Representatives of various interest groups made presentations to the Planning Commission and the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).

Most citizens felt that the information presented in the booths were accurate and exhibited in an understandable format. Some citizens added to the list of . neighborhood issues that were posted in the Community booths. These additional comments are noted in Part 3 of this document entitled Neighborhood Council Results.

Each neighborhood council summary has a listing of the appealing and non- appealing sites, community resources and identifiers, and key parcels. The neighborhood council summary also has a prioritized list of "Hot Button Issues". The number of votes that each issue received during the council meeting is shown in parenthesis beside the issue. An asterisk is used to denote tie votes on top issues. Additionally, there is a map illustrating locations of the community resources, identifiers, and key parcels. Finally, the generalized land use and zoning maps of each community Planning Area are also included. • n U :• :+ '•:'•~::• } ?<;;~ •: :..:;;;:.

Access is a problem for many of these small businesses. VDOT requirements make it impossible for many of these small businesses to get started due to road improvements required for access(12). 2. We must keep in mind people's property rights as opposed to the public interest of preserving rural lifestyles and farming operations(10). 3. Some small scale commercial development would be welcome. Some • examples are: convenience stores, a fast food restaurant, a pizza place, and other light retail/services(7). Rural Lifestyle & Small Businesses • Don't want future development -shut the door to keep out new people. • We used to have a service station and/or convenience store every few miles. Most have went out of business. • Currently only one store in the area. I have to go all the way to Kroger. • If Jake's Garage closed, it would be a major loss. • There is "Too Much Red Tape" to rezone property plus all the permits and fees to develop property. The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. What is the ultimate location and plan for new school facilities?(38).

The most important issue is to have a 4 lane, SAFE road, regardless of any new development! There is a lot of building in Hillsville and those folks are using Route. 221. It does not matter where! (29) 3. As Route. 221 is improved water line extensions should occur at the same time. Sewer extensions should occur at this time also. Water/Sewer Service • Off 12 0' clock Knob Road there are water supply problems due to poor wells. More specifically, Country Hills Subdivision. • There is no public water supply. County told us that it was too expensive(3). • Utility extensions bring development pressures. • Transportation • At Crystal Creek Road and at Bent Mountain the number of traffic accidents have increased each year. Something has to be done to Route 221. • Heavy traffic and ice storms make the road impassable. Often people turn off onto side roads which are in worse shape than Route. 221(2). • VDOT is supposed to make an announcement regarding Route. 221 improvements. Their schedule for this announcement is 6 to 8 months in the future. • We want our roads, but not the development. "We want our cake and we want to eat it too"(2). • Street lighting at intersections and the school is needed. Schools • Boone's development has a 20 year build out. The children there will feed into Cave Spring HS. Other Public Facilities • Rescue Squad and Fire Department are doing a fine job. More people will • mean more service calls. However, without more people we may run out of volunteers(9). :...;,• { ~~.}}:}}YYY:\?.Y}:?•}::y~::t{';'•'.':~:Y}..{r .,~),t .: • ~:•Y:•Y:.{:t+dcu,.; .. ; ..;}:5 :•::::::..•• ~' ,?,...,: .Se~:•x{.:{•{{{Y:?G{{:.x.!?: •:?•:: ?Y %` '' yy~~{V{~~;,3~:} :r?$.~ ; ~`: }}y.4++:•}r:+'r:?•Y:+v 4...+ { +.:{.. ..: \:.:. :: .:tir•:•'•}:{{.},v,{:???????•nQ::::.+F.. xiF• `•+l d' .F. :~:.: r::: :: k+i{ .. } ... ... }} :C:rr]A•:n •:+ r iYf~.•~'.'•~$~!y'4} .$}.....:./rn....}Y}:•:•Y}YYY:++:Y}}}}}}:•}}:•:4h+k}YYY}ri~}}}}:•:?}:wi~'ii+iY:FY.`•:•'F.::'4Yti}::$}YV: •$..:: x:.•.v}.

The neighborhood watch is active(4). • Cable TV would be nice. The Top Resource issue is: 1. The land use assessment program makes it easier to hold land for timber and agricultural uses instead of selling it for development(17). Ridgelines & Rural Character • Timber has been sold along the parkway. There are no plans to develop or sell this site. "My view was gone! i" • Ice storms cause damage to trees and lead to lower timber values. • The life cycle for a tree is 35 to 50 years. If not cut, they will die anyway. Greenways • Greenways and bikeways would be wonderful. • Greenways offer a safe facility for biking and hiking. • The right-of-way for the parkway extends over Route. 690. This keeps much of this road in the shade and as a result not much sun gets on the road. In the winter this leads to ice build up at this location. Comments generated during the Community Forum • There are 3 scenic farms and 2 scenic ridges visible from the Parkway. r 4 \ .~ •:~L}:. r.. iFjGr.:. ...,x;.:. •..}.:. i,:tiv.:x{ : :., • ::• •~. y ., :r:..;,.:>..'<~> •~::k.. :.•.• :x~t5;2,{~rx•."6. • ..C•hx:<•`'~>?~:•.; :~:'{'!<t •u~{{{:.4:x~xx'C`•'~:%iY/:~%:'~ ,+:~•. ..w. :'tit :i'y~;:~+:,~t{~••'•:~•,'• `2{•:,•r• ``•• y~:?:.• .. !:. ,,~:,.; •~`x~.,~: . •.;.:~.c. :. :.;~:.::.:xy,:''x{.•,{.:.::~.''•.•?:•:{n::{•:4;: ;',~.;`.;x.;::::;;..,, k.. .:x,`,~`/.•''.;. ,.^:x.' {,.f•Y.•. :~:.'~4`~•k. :: •A: w::,;, `~a •,.•:'•'{`:,::k••:'try+•,•: u;:;:`•:;::!.,,••{•: {:~{>~.::a.'•> •,: t~'~ ~..,,.{x {. ,, '>., ~ ~{F ~; ::; •.;: ::x• {xn::::: ~}. o„x, .:;• fi; •.

We need to determine what type of growth will occur. What will the new growth look like and what will be its impact on the community?(24) *We as a community, insist that we be involved in rezoning requests "self determination."(24) 2. We want to shape our community and to do so requires better communication and involvement in the consideration of land use decisions (rezonings & special use permits, etc.).(18) 3. There needs to be better communication with the County about land use decisions.(17) Citizen Participation/Involvement • When requests for rezoning/special use permits are turned into the County, how can we be involved in the process?(10) • From this process, there is a possibility that this body (Neighborhood Council) will evolve into a Community Planning Council.(7) • There is some conflict between the °old charter members" of Bent Mountain and the "new people" on the mountain.(16) • We need to develop a mechanism to deal with our problems.(3) • For several years there's been a conflict between the business people and the civic league. The civic league wants to stop progress.(8) • • From a business standpoint, we look at new proposals to determine if they are good for the community.

We are concerned about all environmental threats on the mountain.(14) Environmental Quality • Seaboard is supposed to do a remediation study. • We need to think about the future, in terms of jobs for our children and • grandchildren while preserving our natural resources. Comments generated during the Community Forum • Under future development trends, add the following: Growth without community involvement and planning has a negative impact on neighborhoods and the quality of life of their residents, as well as resulting in environmental degradation and loss of open space. The community has expressed a desire to maintain its rural character, environmental attributes, and aesthetic and social values. • Landowner rights are too restricted. • Landowner's greatest privilege is to pay more taxes each year. • Under Key Parcels add to Item number 1 the following: °especially the Seaboard property off Route 221. • Under citizen involvement clarify item #5 as follows: It is perceived that the civic league wants to stop progress. • Under the Top 2 Public Facilities Issues, change item #1 as follows: The school needs to be expanded and a community center developed. • Under transportation add the following: There is concern that new and larger roads will encourage suburban sprawl, resulting in demand for more expensive services, etc.; however, safety concerns of existing roadways must be addressed. •. r,~M' •'S.•'rrr .. r{{•.'4 ~..}~:•; ••:•• ::r:7kddt f •.}•.t •d. •: " F,.L tt~•'~ '' ::t 4:.+i$/:• ;• %~ ~} % :{ ~^ddi'~:~vvr+ ti;'•:$:•+,in';+:;~: . ~~yy ~' ::. }.::}•.w'y+,.:::~•, \\,::::;.v;...}.;,• ;•;. •. • rir's3~::• ..,.,,.z;,,..3.~~.... • .~~;:: .»'s ' • :za .s>f~:::::~~•. .:.•~.: • ~:::.:~x,:~.~:`•:,:`~.~.::~>s•,c, >. >..::s. •:: faXd! ~:'N'R~..rt'u4S:.:sY.x~`.''.::`:.•<•:x5rrw!•>xkaxo:..•w •r:~t::srwir~i~.a~:.k':~:.~r:.~:•rr' >x °•ti`aSY~• :. ,~.r fuxri. t ^;.t{; •: •:: ` `~" .N,: r';` v ~ } : r F• •. :.,,•:w.•:rY;fix~kx t rr'`.t>,tx• a:.S• srr'~..?r?:s s.oi++/.;rSSw•.',,: }'..:ii}::i.:'h3•}}?}:}`} }h ~Y}}_T'~~,`:~:.}i:^}:p}:i!h'vti.-0 •`. 4>:+ :}}} .} .T }~ ~:} ' >.~:'::;~>~~::.r...v .;~h;~l:.'::~ti`:;x p'*~,.~, r ~ v1r~y~ ~;.. .:fS;n ' ? }- ~~`~~,~,~. .:{;~:n.~<'lr:;?" .<:?. . • Bonsack Neighborhood Council A~pealinQ and Non-appealing Sites Appealing • Bank of Botetourt -nice brick building • Lewis-Gale Clinic -nice architectural style, nice landscaping • Old Bonsack - Kagey house, Sutter house • Bonsack Baptist Church -has won architectural awards • April's Meadow -entrance sign is nice • Ray Cox Trout Farm - on Lake Back O'Beyond Rd., peaceful, pretty • Viewshed from George Seibel's place -Bonsack & Glade Creek Road. • Viewshed from Bonsack Park -looking towards the Blue Ridge Parkway. • Old Crumpacker house • Viewshed from Samuel's Gate - in LaBellevue • Ridges -Read Mountain and Stewart's Knob are community boundaries • Glade Creek • Viewsheds from Blue Ridge Parkway • Ash tree - by Trout Farm on Carson Rd. -Largest one • Views from Summit Ridge Non-appealing • Metal building at city limits -old trailers, junk • Layman Road - by church is an eyesore - 1st house on left, windows out and old Foutz house (next to Grissom). • Glade Creek Road. -Slocum stable, too many horses, lots of manure, trash • Bonsack Road and Glade Creek Road. -old store, run down • Construction trailer across from Lewis-Gale Clinic • Storage trailer on Bonsack Road. • Carson Road. mobile home park -inoperative cars • Flower Shop -Gish Farm, behind shop are old falling down barns • Billboards along Route. 460 • Texaco -service station with convenience store (there were mixed feelings about this site -some thought it looked pretty good considering the use. • Tweeds -too large, too white, too high -looks bad from Parkway ~.:. •4•.{•::: i.,:;}:::... ::•:: :}M.} n\.ti:<}}:v{,}:;:;:;{:?::{:C$:•:tii}:$~i.;:;:{,+.,>.•{•:::~'} {'iv':>.?r:: +f.•f:}:?: ,}•}}}~:?: :;iiihd" :• $$... ...{ \ :.l...v.; •y ~ :F: $.K•.•.•.•: r::f,:; .; }•.,..:. n?....{ :.v.....:•..~ .~i~~ :.x4:.:{{{ik44R?T wti:~: r:ii'\ti{<ii:'t::,fii •::{}•{;{v.; . {:.

The road provides a buffer(9). *US Route 460 Corridor needs cooperation from all 3 localities in relation to future development-Roanoke County, Botetourt County, and Roanoke City(9). *R-3 zoning in the Orchards is a problem. Can it be rezoned?(9) Other Land Use Issues: • Future land use issues along Alt. 220 and Route. 64. What is keeping the intersection of US 460 and Route 604 from being stripped out? What type of signage will occur in this corridor? • Develop a corridor study/plan in cooperation with Roanoke City, Roanoke County and Botetourt County(2). • Desirable land uses along US 460 - "tasteful" shopping centers with frontage roads on north side of US 460, a nice restaurant is needed(3). • Issues associated with land use along US 460 are: signage and architectural guidelines(3). • Possibly R-3 along US 460 as a transition from commercial to residential. • Historic District in "Old Bonsack" -There are approximately 40 structures that +~ could constitute a district. This is unique to this community. Citizens need more information relating to this possibility(5).

A key link with the history of Bonsack. The Top 3 Public Facility issues are: 1. Traffic on US Route 460 is not safe - many accidents. The road needs to be widened(12). 2. Update the park in Bonsack with bathrooms and the general appearance of the park - landscaping, etc.(10) 3. Need a new Bonsack School to relieve the overcrowded schools in Vinton(9). Schools • Land for new school site available in the County Park. • Need to consider the situation in Botetourt County in relation to schools. • When will the Bonsack school be built? The Blue Ribbon Committee will make recommendations next month. Transportation - US 460 • Traffic lights are needed at both ends of Ruritan Road during peak traffic hours(5). • Plan and build an east Roanoke circumferential highway to get excess traffic off US 460(3). • VDOT allocates funds for roads. Is there coordination between counties and cities? There are many competing interests for the same transportation dollars within the same County as well as the Salem Transportation District. Parks • Should not spend any $$ on Spring Hollow Park(2). • Spring Hollow Reservoir was a good investment. The park will protect the mtns. And viewsheds.

Other Public Facilities • The library is great. • There is water and sewer near the church on Layman Road. Need these services extended in this area due to poor perking of soils. • Some homes in the Orchards are connected to sewer and some are not - it is difficult for all to bear the costs of these services(1). • stormwater detention ponds -County will eventually have to take these over to properly maintain them(1). • These ponds are very important in management of stormwater and flood prevention. Intergovernmental Cooperation (regionalism) • Cooperation with Botetourt County has been successful thus far, examples: Blue Ridge Library, Fire & Rescue, possibly a joint school in the future(2). i • In the past, Bonsack has been orphaned by both Botetourt and Roanoke County. The Top 3 Resource issues are: 1. Greenways are linkages & provide good aesthetic value, also can be used for stormwater management or flood control(18). 2. We need to balance agriculture with residential growth. A key link with the history of Bonsack(14). 3. Trains blow 4 long whistles when they go through Bonsack at approximately 3 in the morning. This maybe OK out in the rural countryside but in more populated areas this is a problem -urban vs. Rural . noise levels. `•}}<::,i::,>.~ '}}';'i}~fi.:`:,•• 4::^i?:;:'::~;a.>.r%?` :t<+`;~`.':•'.}i'`;~. ;f.,.i~} . :,~,ax2•. ~+.•::t%,., :+''t• •. .: •+~• .,,~~ •~t,•:. ,. <?:..'•+a:: .':.; ti:'.. ,t;:}:::.Y t•::::•.:+:.;•}:} •',2••.:.\~'::•y.''•'•':',•.}:'•:t. ;~3.:.'•:•;,+.:;:.}to: ~;'i'i•'•.•}yT. i•:}} }}•:•~fi,;:;n} :;•;`;: >.

The farm section is the most critical/importanUvisible. • The Catawba Community Center. This center is used all the time by the residents of the valley. If something happened to this facility it would be a great loss to the community. (Children play sports here, bikers use it as a staging area, etc.) General Comments • Development will come to the valley in the future. We have to be ready for it with screening, landscaping and density controls. New development needs to be designed so as to fit in with the rural character or to enhance the rural character in the valley. • Add bike lanes to the roads for safety. • • There are some parcels that need to be preserved just as they are - no changes. • The County should buy the VA-Tech Farm from the University. Work out an option or long term agreement with Va-Tech holding the mortgage/note. • The Va-Tech Farm should be acquired by the County - if a piece of property was acquired many years ago in SW County, then we would not have the problem of finding suitable land for a new school site in SW County. • The Va-Tech Farm could be the site where a Hi-Tech, clean industry could be located and designed so as to fit into the landscape and maintain the rural character -work with the landscape to preserve the view. • A process like the one used for the McDonald Farm or like the one proposed in Glenvar for the new business park needs to be used here for the Va-Tech Farm property. uvv::: : ~`•:L'•; };: ~}4,+v,.~}}. i~%'.%:;}, ;.3:;?i::+'`•' :Flr} ~~•i: .}~•~+,•y:'j;•,• :?v:•. ~ x,~•••~2v` .4.,'i~:L`.;'M+ ~ ,+ \~S'~2j~~ .•• ): n••:.v x•}•:.+} } :•,', ' ,~..,}~.,k;,+~_~~:, 4~, ~...:::... yh..,}: ..v..Y, ..{~ ?v..+.•...+~:•}. v.'4••;•;•,. i.}r.,}., .... x.:• :. : :.•}: }Y a*.':::.}:•::.a.::.:. ~: •`woo-`r•:4. u.}.:::::. `~3a4'a:~`.~.::S:t:•>.•:.vn}:}:::•••}}}:.a}:.. . >}}ii.:i•';r>...:• :a}}:r:bt6x,,.,,w.•:::::.•}}C<xw~a.?.a4i.#r fir.}}}~r•:}F'~:',;,C .i~zri`~..xu•. • Catawba Neighborhood Issues The Top 3 Land Use issues are: 1.

No new super highways through valley(8). Transportation • Need to improve Route 311 by installing truck passing zones. VDOT has taken away the passing lanes(4). • Traffic has increased on Route 311 -commuters from Craig County. • When road improvements are done there should be an emphasis on minimal disruption of the landscape(2). • Need maintenance of road culverts, gutters and road edges(6). • Due to the narrow widths there are bicycle and vehicle conflicts. Blacksburg has done a really nice job by widening the shoulders for bicycle use(s). • Newport Road needs a center line. • We need turning areas for school buses(2). • The time lag between snow fall and road plowing is too long. This poses problems for Fire 8~ Rescue services. • VDOT and the school do not communicate very well. We need more coordination between them so that road conditions will be reported to the schools during periods of bad weather(2). • First 2 miles of Route 624 has been repaved.

General Comments • We need to strike a balance between preserving everything and allowing for development. I don't mind seeing houses along the Parkway in some areas - I think houses are beautiful.. Many top CEOs have built their homes here on the mountains and it was because of the view of the city/valley. • To put power lines underground requires a lot of cash. • In NC there are regulations that require that businesses and homes keep their grass, bushes and landscaping maintained. • We should look at developing alternative transportation methods so that we would not have so many parking lots - greenways. {\:.%iti{., r++7: .}•. ~ :{}yi;i~.+ti:,V}'.}':ti$Y:$+:}'.:v ii •ti}•},7•i'•:i'•SY:•i`•:ik'•.: ~~{^i { „ ,•:5,.}}~7.::,: ,.;,4:,~ r }..N, ;>.•:#. •• ,..;?+.:.••:4.~74.t :} :,d/, .77 .;f,}, •g ::: '~. t:• •; w;: :`.;,<•:};:}ti•.:~:••.'4i:3•::'• "• ~.;kr.5•.~ '•'• y<•: ra ::: :,,cx•} :~,t::.u ..7::<.,.;.}•. n•:?z.:I'•':t:?.}, ck•:••,#i.•.

All new developments in the County need to be of the planned community style, like Brandermill in Chesterfield County and Fair Lakes in Fairtax County(13). 2. *To avoid Route 419 from becoming a parking lot, can we mix light commercial and industrial uses with residential -like planned communities in other parts of the state?(10) *There are many parcels that are undeveloped but zoned for commercial or industrial uses. Many of these parcels are irregularly shaped or small. What will these parcels look like when they are developed? If development continues as it has already occurred, then it will result in more traffic on Route 419 (more curb cuts and more parking lots)(10). 3. *The industrial area around the railroad tracks (near Starky Road) is unkept and looks bad for the community(8). *Need to start a tree planting program along Route. 419 in front of places like Tanglewood Mall(8). Undeveloped Parcels • The topography limits the amount of industrial property in the area. : •: .+'i .: ;: ... 441 ~itti ~ $~'. ~ .r fi:~i,.ri t~` Y\4••: ••:{•„ `} '{ti~.~ ,•i•\~,• ` .~{ #~ } r... i~kv`.2....... tY .d .. .Lr,:U.•3.+iti•'kS. .. •..... •~'f.• • ,. ~L~'6CEk.•;4`t`:':~.• •{ .'t:,t{4'.'W '.. x~Gt~'FL ..:.~,+~/.~>} Development Standards • Any new development in Cave Spring needs to have tasteful signs, curbs, proper lighting and landscaping(6). • Do away with the °grandfathered" previsions for signs and make everyone conform. Other communities are doing it, such as Charlottesville and Williamsburg. Why can't we do it? • The community is mainly residential and light industrial. • Signs should not be seen, you should have to look for them. In the Fair Lakes Planned Community, signs are very small maybe only 2 square feet for a gas station. • Light industrial uses are okay, if their appearance is appropriate (architecture, landscaping, etc.) • This is a residential community. The zoning provisions have been too lax on new development in regards to architectural design. All new non-residential uses should look residential!(1) • Integrate light commercial with residential design. • New economic development should concentrate on "white collar" industry as opposed to "blue collar" industry; we do not want to see heavy manufacturing. • Buffer commercial from view by the use of landscaping in front of • businesses(5). • The basic infrastructure needs to be in place prior to new developments being placed in the community. Housing • The area is becoming an older community. What can be done to maintain housing values? • If older houses are not kept or maintained properly, then the quality of life associated with the community will go down(4). Other Land Use Issues • Developers are always requesting rezonings. There seems to be a lot of pressure from developers in the County in connection with such requests. • The County is running as fast as it can to keep up with new growth(3). • People from outside the Cave Spring area are coming here to shop and go to restaurants.

Parks in the Cave Spring area are needed(17). 2. Too much residential growth for school capacity(15). 3. *If the schools go down, then property values will also go down. If this occurs, the quality of life here will deteriorate (14). "The 9th grade needs to be in the high school not in the middle school(14). Schools • The high school and junior high school are not comparable to other facilities in the state(11). • Based upon our social-economic status, the school facilities are a joke(3). • What was done to Back Creek School was great. Since there is a limited amount of land in the County for schools, maybe we have to build up instead of out (add 2"~ or 3`d floors to existing buildings)(3). • We allowed houses to be built for 20 years without any improvements to our schools or their capacity. • In the past the County concentrated its resources on other things such as the landfill, the reservoir, the water/sewer lines and facilities. It is now time to focus on schools!(13) • SW County provides over 50% of the tax revenue for the County but we did not get the new school(4). • Who makes the ultimate decision as to building schools?(1) Transportation • The connection from Peters Creek Road will increase the traffic congestion on Route 419(13). • Public transportation would be helpful(1). • No sidewalks in this area(2). • Where is I-73 planned to go?

Such facilities are essential to the quality of life associated with this area. Other Public Facility Issues • The water line loop will allow for denser development of housing.

The existing development in the community is not visible -this aspect needs to be continued. • • Franklin County has some nice entrance signs -tastefully done. Non-appealing • Roads are too dangerous. The use of tar & chip and loose gravel. • Roads are not repaired regularly. • Roads need to be widened. • Illegal dumping along many roads -particularly bulk items. There are piles at "No Dumping" signs. • Lack of visible police patrol. Response time is ok. • The Parkway Motel is low income housing. • Stores that use parking lots as storage/display areas. • Abandoned structures on the west side Route 220 need to be torn down. • A house located just before Back Creek has a lot of junk cars. • Need to improve the drainage & flood control along Route 220. • Billboards are not appealing. • The stable needs to be improved (Old Hunting Hills).

Clearbrook is a rural residential community with some basic retail services; good schools, - we do not want to see strip malls or heavy industry(39). 2. Needs to be more coordination between VDOT and the County in programming improvements for development(7). 3. Assisted Living Facilities would be a good industry in this area(6). Future Growth • Tax rates influence land prices and development pressures/decisions. • We do need to allow for some new housing -like single family, apartments, etc., but the question is where to place them. • Linkage between zoning and density -linked to water and sewer. • The area needs to develop with people in mind - no strip malls - 4th & 5th generations live in this area(3). • The community should develop in a sensible fashion, many came here because of its rural atmosphere/character. This aspect needs to be maintained. • Now is the time to control the quality and type of development(3). • If we do not keep the area's rural character, then the traffic on US 220 will be impacted(3). • No changes would be desirable except to improve the roads. The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. Indian Grave Road and Route 220 need to be improved. Additionally, we need a caution light or emergency light for the fire department so that they can get out on the road(27). f••r : .. ~~~. ~t.S. s'zv <:;~>., x. ~:•:t?2~ix`t~i#r,:,~;,,:~ . .o:•. r+r f :.~z . .

Water and sewer should be extended to Suncrest(16). Transportation -Route 220 • The crossing lanes along 220 are too limited or inadequate(3). • US 220 is a major highway linking this area to the interstate and Smith Mountain Lake - it handles a lot of traffic as a result. • The existing turn lane into Buck Mountain Road is inadequate. • Traffic at Buck Mountain intersection has improved some recently, but it is still a problem(3). • Due to the road conditions, the bus ride to school lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. • The improvement of the "S" curves along 220 will help. Better roads usually brings more people. • Where is I-73 going and how will it affect our community?(10) • Truck traffic along 220 has increased substantially and has already impacted the community(2). • Many roads along 220 do not have turning lanes. With the increased traffic, especially trucks, it is not safe(8). Transportation -Secondary Roads • Secondary roads need lots of improvement. If a school bus & a car meet, often each has to get off '/z of the road to pass each other. Roads are too narrow(15). • Once you get 100 yards off US 220, the roads are barely 2 lanes. The roads need to be improved before development occurs. • Back Creek Road and Starlight Road need major work!(9) Water & Sewer Service • Many wells are contaminated in the area -public health issue(3). • What about utility service on the other side of 220, across from the school, what will it cost? Is it possible? • The sewer line will help this area. • Linkage between zoning and density -linked to water and sewer(3). ~...ti... r,.. r:,zzz~azz~~;~~~'~~~:;{F~~ s~:~}..~~~8ta ~a a a .•~~ r`~` ~' ~`~>~};":~~,Y.o,~stt:;^;>.;~` >.~.<~ ~:a2•F:zci:{:k~x~.: ada ~3.t~r~~~a?',b;3'S;o~` . Stormwater Management • Stormwater issues associated with the development(9). • The creek along US 220 has not seen any improvements since 1946(8). • Cannot keep paving over such areas, increases the runoff and the creek can only handle so much water. Recreation • Any new development needs to address the needs of children(11). • Build a community pool in the area(11). The Top Resource issue is: 1. The community should develop in a sensible fashion, many came here because of its rural atmosphere and/or character. This aspect needs to be maintained(26). Rural Character • If we do not keep the area's rural character, then the traffic on US 220 will be impacted.

Glenvar Neighborhood Council Appealing and Non-appealing Sites Appealing • The Richfield and Medeco sites are well designed and landscaped; a nearly park like setting. • Green Hill Park has been developed nicely. There are other things that can still be added but overall we are very satisfied with this facility. At one time there was talk of using this site for a new Fort Lewis School. • The park and associated land around Spring Hollow offers enormous potential for recreational use. There are trails planned to circle around the reservoir. • Spring Hollow is a long term project for the County. We have other more pressing needs currently. • Camp Roanoke is a well developed site. • Hanging Rock Golf Course is a well developed site and is an asset to the community. • The mansion along US 460 -Known as Pleasant Grove. • Out near the County line, along US 460, there is a nice old house on the left. i • Wabun is an old historic crossroads in the community. • The view from the top of Equestrian Trails. • At the end of Lee Road is a historic site where old log cabins for slaves existed. • We need to do a similar project such as Williamson Road on this end of the County. To redevelop/retrofit new and existing businesses with nicer signs, landscaping, and general upkeep of the site. Non-appealing • Across from the library is a storage yard. It is a real eyesore, we do not want any more of that type of development. • AI Salem's Garage looks bad and unkept (truck repair & storage yard). • The parcel across from AI Salem is also very unappealing -eyesore. • Where Hanging Rock Estates enters Red Lane is a low spot. With the drainage coming off the hill this will be a future problem. • Additionally, Hanging Rock Estates will lead to a traffic problem on Red Lane. • Along Wildwood Road is the source of materials for the Brick Yard. Where this soil is removed is a real eyesore. • The clear cutting on Dry Hollow Road is not appealing. . On Old Mountain Road about 300 yards there is an old house that is falling down. • • The new ugly white warehouse located on US 460. • Continued traffic caused by development.

Glenvar Neighborhood Issues The Top 3 Land Use issues are: West County development - is the zoning appropriate? Will tax $$ be put back into this community?(14) 2. Citizens need to have more participation (play a role) in the planning process associated with the land use decisions(13). 3. Will historic junkyards ever be cleaned up?(11) Citizen Involvement/Rights • In the Red Lane area the decisions have already been made with no input from the neighborhood. • Developers have too much power and no accountability. • Provide forum/open discussion of community input along with County government in land use decisions. • Property rights vs. community standards. Development Impacts • The County needs to pursue the legal means to assess impact fees. • When development occurs, there needs to be less disruption on existing neighborhoods surrounding the development activity. Laws, ordinances, and policies need to reflect this for the future. • The citizens of the County need to be more aware of the impacts of land development on public services; cost of services study. • Glenvar has been put upon repeatedly; examples are: landfill, Kroger expansion, VDOT priorities win out over County's 6 year plan(5). Industrial/Commercial Development • Residents in Glenvar Heights are very concerned with economic development north and west of the interstate. These residents see this area . as residential and are adamant to keep it that way. • Future land use of Dixie Caverns should not be industrial. ,.£::.. :~x.:..,::. :.::.::. :;«;: ::.•::::. :v . ~.....: :^:•x x: T.::w;;..; ...:n:, ..:!::4:{4vn::vt+'•:•:•: •:tiifi:;:F:~x•::::: •:.+~.nr.+:v.»•.i+•~~ ~~••~' xYv, ::i{i::{i''~.:.....•; ii: .,,:1;;. .. r,4:N;:;:: ;;.+7? .. ...:•f:. .'f> •.'ib?y9 .•. ....: :.:?: •?:?'

Avoid encroachment of industrial /commercial uses into residential/agricultural areas(1). • County has a trust problem in relation to some communities. Need to act in best interest of residents of the community(7). • Will Donnelley's recreation assets be available to the general neighborhood? The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. Widen Route 460/11 through the Community Planning Area (CPA)(15). 2. The cost of County utility hook ups is too expensive for older residents of the County who are on fixed incomes(11). 3. Cooperation between Roanoke County and the City of Salem needs to continue in relation to the provision of services(6). Intergovernmental Cooperation (regionalism) Roanoke County and Salem need to maintain the mutual response system for Fire and Rescue(4). Need to explore dual or mutual response for police services(1).

If private citizens can raise $5,000 for parks through business contributions and fund raisers, will the County match this amount for park improvements? Can this type of program be expanded into other areas?(16) 2. To retain our young people, we need to attract manufacturing jobs that pay "good wages" so that they won't move elsewhere. 3. We need an anti-litter law like they have in Canada; $200 fine on the spot if caught littering. Development Standards: • ValleyPointe is a ood exam le of business/industrial develo m • 9 p p ent. Balances the environment, open space, and the style of buildings with the needs of industry. The landscaping is very good. • The entrance to Hollins College looks nice and is well done(2). • Contractors strip the land when they build. They should be required to work with the natural topography and preserve as many tree as possible(4). • North Park and ValleyPointe were designed well. • What is the status of the Hollins Corridor Project?(1) • The field beside Hollins College was only cut twice last year. • Linkages between new housing projects and school capacity of the area; example: apartments built leading to overcrowding of Burlington Elementary School(3). "Eyesores " & Dumps • The burned out house near the Shell Station on the Newburn property is an "eyesore." Can this house be taken down and cleaned up?(4) • The old Bonanza building is an "eyesore" and there is not enough parking! • There is a lot of littering and illegal dumping along La Marre Road and Old Mountain Road; old appliances, tires, etc.(1) • Old house on Peters Creek Road close to Cove Road intersection at the old D & M concrete facility. <, ..r K. • :...,. „ , ,: ~~ ,s > +.>... ..4.4 . fSfk'fif}SaC< '+.. a... .. .... . :. tfGw:t..}ca. 'A~ ........ • Litter behind Burger King, Wendys and Kroger. • Litter on Dexter Road from Kroger to Plantation Road(1). Citizen Initiatives • Citizens have been cutting the grass in the medians. This helps to create a sense of community as well as pride. VDOT does not always cut the grass often enough. Economic Development • Industrial developments' impact upon the neighborhood often leads to more traffic and demands for more services; housing, schools, parks, education, etc. • To attract new industry we need to offer businesses a trained work force . More technical/vocational training needs to be provided. Currently, these opportunities are limited. • The County has done a good job marketing the County to large industries . However, where we fail is that we don't support and help small businesses and retail businesses; an example is Cracker Barrel(1). • We have too many regulations, ordinances, and restrictions on small • businesses. This tends to drive these businesses out of the County. Instead of driving these people out, we should design our policies to attract and retain them(4). • The County and the City are moving to standardizing the rules and regulations(1). • Over the past 8 years the amount of freight being shipped out of the airport has tripled (tonnage). We are becoming a hub and center for distribution type industries. • As of now the airport is self-supporting and has a $7 million fund balance • . What plans are there for replacing AMP? It was a good industry with good jobs. • Over half of the County's work force is employed by companies with 20 or fewer employees. • Hollins College is an important resource for the County. The Top 3 Public Facility issues are: 1. Trucks cut through our community to avoid the scales on I-81(7). <~:~k~>. •• '.. ". ~ . u...s. ctt2?. .... ..~. 2 ~? . ~:: 2. *The new sidewalk from La Marre to Hollins Court needs to have some street lights(2). *The playgrounds at the schools need to be more fully developed and maintained by the Parks Department. Install a track at Burlington and improve and expand the courts and playground equipment(2). *Walrond Park needs more parking spaces. The park is starting to encroach on the existing neighborhood(2). *There needs to be more regional recreation coordination with Botetourt County and/or the City(2). 3. *Traffic is increasing on Peters Creek Road. What impact will the extension across to Route 419 have on our traffic? Lewis-Gale will have an effect on the traffic levels(1). *There is a bottleneck with Hershberger Road and Hollins Road near the Par 3 Golf Course(1). Transportation • The traffic is a problem in the mornings in front of Burlington Elementary. A crossing guard may solve this problem. • The traffic light makes the p~oblem worse. • Due to the heavy traffic on Route 419, we located over here instead of SW County. • • There are many trucks cutting through on Sanderson Drive to Alternate 220. • What is the schedule for the re-paving of neighborhood streets? .: ~. r »Y~. ~, • Each year the County adds $500,000 to the secondary road fund. VDOT matches that amount and that money is used to pave and improve secondary roads. • The road leading to the AMP site needs improvement. • Also, there is much traffic coming from exit 146. • 40°~ of the traffic on I-81 is made up of trucks. • Woodhaven Road needs to be widened in the "s" turns above the Woodlands entrance. Also on Woodhaven Road, prior to the Lewis House, a guard rail is needed -many accidents. • Future plans for widening Airport Road. Parks • Expand the upkeep and maintenance of all fields in North County. Stormwater Management • Water running off the hill on Hollins College was a problem in the 1985 flood. • Development on mountain leads to increased runoff. Public Safety • Police need to be more visible in neighborhoods for crime revention; less P emphasis on traffic violations and more attention to personal protection from violent crimes. • Police need to be more aggressive in patrolling of fire lane and handicapped parking. • Marking for handicapped parking needs to be consistent and visible everywhere. • Adequate sleeping quarters at the Hollins Fire and Rescue Station. • Provide better coverage minimize response times. The Top 3 Resource issues are: 1. Clear-cutting on mountains leaves eyesores as well as causing erosion problems. To clear-cut a mountainside is different than clear-cutting flat land(10). ..+ •7 ..ti ... , ~: <: ~.:::,:•,>.. ., :d~f .

Other locations in the state have wonderful greenways. We need to continue this effort here in Roanoke County and expand upon them. We need greenways here for bike riding(3). Ridgelines • Can we still keep towers off the mountain?(4) • AEP's lines across the mountains scar the view shed(3). Historic Resources • Need to preserve the appearance of the Carolina Road Area(5). • Can the old Tavern on Carolina Road be preserved?(3) • We need to preserve the views and the historic homes along Plantation Road(4). • The view of the historic homes were blocked by development at North Park. Greenways • The County has been requested to fund the Greenways Coordinator position for the upcoming year. • Greenways movement was started by many different groups here in Roanoke County(5). • How much of the funds for the Hanging Rock Greenway comes from the County? How much from the federal government? How much is from private contributions? r f ... f . Masons Cove Neighborhood Council Appealing and Non-appealing Sites Appealing • Old Catawba Road - An old country road with beautiful views. • Dutch Oven Road -Another old, scenic country road. • Public property and buildings in the community such as: the school, fire house, park, and the Moose Lodge. • Havens Wildlife area. • The scale (size) of the school in relation to the community. Non-appealing • The hillside behind Hanging Rock Market -needs some screening or vegetation. • The Brown & Carter site needs to be cleaned up. • Beckner Boiler needs to be cleaned up and improved -looks bad. • Lacy's property was supposed to be cleaned up and trees planted. This still has not been done. • • Thomas Brothers stump dump is pulling mud down on Route 311. The trucks are not covered and they are going too fast -you'll get run over if you don't get out of the way! • Clear cutting on the mountainsides - Wright's property. • We need a way to get to Bennett Springs as well as a better road to Bradshaw. There's too much traffic and congestion - especially a problem for emergency vehicles. • Fire Department needs to obtain permission, as well as keys to gates across fire roads that go up on the mountainsides. • The intersection of Bradshaw Road and Route 311. Dangerous -need a turning lane Community Identifiers & Key Resources Identifiers • The gap in the mountains form a gateway to Masons Cove. • The views of the mountains identify the community; example is McAfee Knob and Fort Lewis Mountain. Also the views along Old Catawba Road. • FAA tower on Fort Lewis Mountain. • Havens Wildlife Area . • Masons Creek • Appalachian Trail .>< ~~ > .. • Resources • Masons Creek; used for fishing and swimming. • The school and the surrounding recreation fields. • Whispering Pines Park • Appalachian Trail • Havens Wildlife Area • The Old Dutch Oven • Yearly Haven Kev Parcels • There is a large parcel behind the firehouse that is suitable for development. • Large parcels that if developed would affect the viewsheds. This is a narrow valley and development too high on the hillsides will be visible. • The floodplain should be off limits to development. General Comments • We need soccer fields. We currently do not have any such facilities. • Whispering Pines Park needs to be fully developed -lights on the courts and locate a soccer field across the baseball outfields if possible. • There are some significant historic sites here in Masons Cove such as the old WWII Prisoner of War Camp (WoodHaven). • We need public water and sewer. Many bad wells and failing septic systems. • The shoulders of Route 311 need to be improved/paved. • Culverts are needed between Aldwin Smith Road and Route 311. v.ti..,. ~~ .yvn~: ~. ::x ~::i~iii'iv :..,..,... . f;;~~. ...h.:}:"y .f :4J.k... : : .. Masons Cove Neighborhood Issues The Top 3 Land Use issues are: 1. The architecture and signage in the Hanging Rock area needs to be improved(10). 2. We do not want anymore neighbors(8). 3. Old Catawba Road is being used for a dump site(7). Development Standards • I came to the area about 30 years ago. At that time this area had a "rough" reputation. As the land became more valuable, the "rough people" moved out to other places. • Housing has improved over the past 30 years. Growth Management & Development • How many more homes can be built between now and 2010? How many more cars will be placed on Bradshaw Road as a result? • Much of the development in the area has been "masked" by the trees and natural vegetation. • The number of houses in the area has doubled in the past 10 years. • There are only 2 large subdivisions in the area. • A small restaurant or allow for some light retail services would be nice(1). • There is very limited commercial services here; only 2 stores close-by. • J & B Market cannot close. It sustains life here in the community! • The area from the school to the fire station is our downtown(1). Dumps & Junk • I took a trip on an airplane not too long ago and as we flew across Masons Cove I saw 2 bad "scars" in our community. One is a debris fill and the other is a tractor trailer parking/storage area on top of the mountain. • Often VDOT will aid the County by placing piles of dirt, guard rail or fencing where people have illegally dumped off the side of the road. • Carter's junkyard is starting to look bad again. He parks junk trucks out front along the road. He has a fence but doesn't park stuff behind it(1). L'ti Lti• • r . x• } r,;> S . The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. We need bigger gyms and some soccer fields(18). 2. We need to develop a way for people from Craig County to get around our community. Too much cut through traffic(16). 3. We need more parks like Whispering Pines. This park needs rest rooms(10). Parks • We need more activities for children; parks and recreation programs located in this community(3). • Many of the people using the park are from Roanoke City(2). • The bleachers behind the school need to be replaced and improved. We also need more bleachers(1). • The baseball field at the school needs repair and improvements. • Anew park further out towards Bradshaw needs to be constructed. • People from a lot of other communities come to Whispering Pines to play baseball. • It takes a year to schedule a field. Over 90% of the people playing baseball/softball are from elsewhere; not part of our community. Schools • We need to re-district the County so that children do not have to ride the bus for 40 minutes to get to school. • Water in the school tastes bad. Landfill & Recycling • There should be a recycling station at the landfill and in the Hanging Rock area(6). • Someone at the landfill said that a recycling station in the Hanging Rock area would not be cost effective. • The landfill is my best neighbor. • The use of the train is a great improvement and prevents excessive truck traffic going to the landfill. • Every Sunday afternoon there are dirt bikes in the Bradshaw area. There is a private motor cross track in the area. This creates too much noise and too much dust. • There is a lot of truck traffic going to the landfill; trucks filled with gravel - probably contractors going to the landfill. Public Safety • Instead of building a new fire station at Hanging Rock, let's improve the existing stations(4). • In the past 3 months there has been between 1 to 3 residential burglaries in the Bradshaw area. • Place a new fire station at Bradshaw. • There are 3 fire hydrants at the landfill. Transportation • On top of Catawba Mountain, there's not enough parking for the Appalachian Trail. • During hunting season people park in the road. • VA Tech and associated activities place a lot of traffic on Bradshaw Road. • • We need another way out of the community; if not for traffic congestion at least for emergency vehicles. The public right of way and the bridge is the answer(7). • There is a lot of traffic back-ups associated with the school. Can a turning lane for buses or some similar type of improvement be installed? • The reflectors on Route 311 are great. • How or why did Blue Bird Lane move down the list of state priorities since 1993? • Can a light be placed at Bradshaw and Route 311? At a minimum, a turning lane needs to be placed there. • A bike lane along Route 311 is needed also(5). • J & B Market has bad sight distance. Other Public Facilities • Place a branch library in Masons Cove. i b':.. +. +. .. .+i:.:li++".:i:r'.ri:.!i.:....:i+ :. ., . `~,,y ..,ti {:~ .::{S~:':r `:".~::~::ii~i ' {~{r+~:?.w . .~%?t~:;~zy?;~ti;.:;;...: ~;Sr..,,c.r.,,,<:;c>..:,.f..:.: .,'~,. ,r '}f;: v~f'`v .N~.'S.:4v.; ~tiy.r..y+ n+f;S::i~~>:?:`:>..;~;r,+..n. f .cy ~ .~'~t}{i~.R~~LC'+i. ~ ~ ~N,+?.,. ii}~}4~}tiitYr:JAi~hY~J~~~v}?' \~~. The Top 2 Resource issues are: 1. The power line issue and its effect on the view shed is important to the community(8). 2. Flood control and stormwater management is critical(5). Water Quality & Flooding The well water is OK, but there is a high mineral content. Even at the school, the water tastes bad. A filter system was placed at the school, but it is not working properly. Greenways & Trails • Will the Hanging Rock Trail be extended to the Appalachian Trail? • Is the County working with a rails to trails group? The County is working with the Cities of Roanoke and Salem to pool our resources.

It is critical that all the open farm land does not become developed. • Windy Gap Mountain near the Franklin County line is really nice. • The Blue Ridge Parkway is an asset to the community (especially if we had access to it like at its intersection with Route 116). • All the areas along Ferguson Valley Road are nice - a great drive. • Brookfield looks nice. Those homes give our community a new look and having only one access point is good. We don't want to see lots stripped off along the main roads. Non-appealing • The old store near Rutrough and Randall Roads. It is boarded up and looks really bad. • The house foundation next to Mt. Pleasant school. Also, a lot of erosion control problems. • Sunnyvale and Ellington Streets are blocked off. It causes a problem to get through the community. • There are properties along Route 116 here in Mt. Pleasant where the people have not kept up their property -junk piles and maintenance. • Almost all of the area along Randall Road is junky. • Mayfield and Route 116 is a traffic hazard, maybe a flashing light would help. • Along Yellow Mountain Road, past Goodman prior to the trailer park, there is • a burned out house. Looks bad. • Along Fergunson Road is a house being built on an extensively filled lot. There is no E & S measures and Back Creek is full of mud. • On Old Virginia Springs Road there is an old abandoned house sitting down in a hole. It is unsafe -full of rats. • 4500 Cowman Road there is an abandoned house. It looks rally bad. • 4400 Goodman Road is another abandoned house. • Scattered throughout the community are spots where there are many junk cars, trash, junk piles, and unsightly signs that need to be cleaned up. Existing zoning laws need to be enforced. Community Identifiers and Key Resources Identifiers • The Village Center of Mt. Pleasant -The school, store, garages, fire house, park, and churches. • The FAA Tower out at Windy Gap. • Other churches in the Community. • Old Brook Hill School. Resources • The large farms and tracts of land just to the south and east of the Parkway. • The Point at the end of Rutrough Road, where Back Creek and the river meet.

Future development requests need to be tied into the County's capital plans to expand the infrastructure which provides the services to these new developments(7). 2. Water & sewer are needed but it will bring development pressures(5). 3. I am afraid that if we have such a relationship, that the County may continue to turn down new development plans, because there are no plans to bring the infrastructure up to meet the existing needs. Therefore, you're in a "catch 22" situation(3). • A large portion of the "what's left map" is in Mt. Pleasant. • There is a 90 acre tract zoned for commercial use off Pitzer Road. It just sold recently. Do you know of any plans for the site? • We need to also recognize that we are talking about the loss of people's property rights. • Va. Beach is buying people's development rights. We need to set up a similar program instead of downzoning property(1). • In 1985 the Community was very anti-growth. • Density needs to be related to the availability of service in that area. .. .: .. ~~ :. ~::. t.. ` .... .~ l'' .: rho '~: ~l: ~: ; }.}~..y} .;,r r.{ vv.rr ~ ~ri:.:'~r:::::: ~~_.,.

Water and sewer service will be needed for future development in this area due to the soils and poor drainage; very wet in some areas(29). 2. An addition to the school is needed for class room space(24). 3. We need to replace the existing fire & rescue department building. The current building does not have any of the following(23): I. Sleeping quarters, currently you have to sleep on the fire hoses in the back of the truck. II. Showers III. Kitchen IV. Training rooms V. Office facilities Schools • We need to establish a link between the capacity of the school and land use decisions(5). • Better communication between the School Board and the Board of Supervisors is needed(6). • A 9 acre tract to the south of the school has just been acquired. This space is supposed to be used for a park. Also, the well that serves the school is located on this property. • Many years ago, Roanoke City said NO, to extending water service to the school. • We need a school zone crossing with flashing lights on Route 116 as well as on Ellington Street(8). • Parks • There is no place for our children to skate, or ride bikes. They cannot ride on the roads due to the traffic and speed traveled by motorists. • A 9 acre site beside Mt. Pleasant School, would be a good place to make a nature trail for children. • The school needs to be connected to Explore by a trail. • The existing park is overcrowded on the weekends. There are lots of • non- County children coming to our park. • We need a park facility like the one on Starkey Road for running, jogging, and biking(16). • Mayflower Hilts wanted a Park. What is the status of that request? • The Resource Authority is supposed to fund up to $100,000 for the construction of a neighborhood park. After the park is developed, it is supposed to be taken over by the County. • Parks and recreation programs here are very overcrowded. Continued growth will lead to limiting participation/service(5). Transportation • Route 116 has become a major road leading to Smith Mountain Lake. • Traffic has increased greatly in our community due to the lake and growth. Also, there are many commuters from Franklin County coming into Roanoke via Route 116. • Route 116 is a dangerous place to run/jog due to the traffic. • Need an access point from Route 116 onto the Parkway(12). • The County needs to develop a plan for Route 116. This will prevent the community from becoming divided by those who live on one side of the road as opposed to those who live on the other side of the road(3). • There needs to be a bridge from this part of the County across the Roanoke River to Vinton. Dick Cranwell promised that this would be done several years ago, but it has not happened as of yet(1). • To get to William Byrd you're forced to go with rush hour traffic(3). • How much input does the County have with VDOT in regards to improving roads? • The Yellow Mountain Road improvements will open that area up. Bandy Road needs the same type of improvements. A good travel surface is needed most of all(14). • Rutrough Road, in the curve sections, has an ice build up problem due to the trees shading the road. This also occurs on Mt. Pleasant Blvd. These problem spots need to be identified by the Community and then this information given to VDOT so that they are aware of these locations(1). ...:.:.~:;::>~s:::.f:;;::.~~<•3r:>:.4<.y:.: ~.x:;y :`.

Town of Vinton has been working with Roanoke County in regards to these houses being declared as unsafe buildings. • The site on Route 24, where the Trellis Garden Center was located has been turned into some type of vehicle repair center. It has many, many hub caps hanging outside. These hub caps act as a sign. It looks like a salvage yard. The site looks really bad and needs to be improved. • Across from the Lancelot is a collection of old buses, semi-trailers, and signs. • The Foodette site is an eyesore property. • Piles of dirt, fill material off Hardy Road (Leon McGhee property) looks bad. Needs to be improved. Community Identifiers & Kev Resources • The Town residents identify with the War Memorial Building. This site is current being upgraded in terms of the building and parking areas. It is used a lot for weddings, receptions, and rehearsals. Usually have to book reservations several months in advance. • In many respects there is no single physical community identifier but rather it is the small town atmosphere that identifies this community. The Dogwood trees and the associated festival in the spring. . ,: ~.'•"#{C°•.:.:•'~~t2, e;~;•~. i .; ;;22;$+'••,'`:"2'<+ •.~ >•~, '+, ',its ,;•,'•i~•< ,~b• ..'. } ~ . . . •: . ~ : ' :. :,r. • A stranger would not necessarily know the difference between Vinton and the City of Roanoke. In some respects it is hard to tell when you are in Roanoke City, Roanoke County or Vinton. • From the top of the hill on Washington Avenue, down the street to the light at Pollard, provides a sense of the community or place. The rhythmic pattern of the homes along the street and their closeness to the street, as compared to the strip malls and sprawl east of this area, provide a stark contrast. Key Parcels • The number one key parcel to the future development of this community is how the McDonald Farm is developed. General Comments • Requirements for new development need to strike a balance between the design of the Rite Aid store and the design of the old Trellis Garden Center. What Rite Aid did costs lots of money and many people just starting out don't have that amount of capital. However, the cost of moderate landscaping and other site improvements (paved parking, signs, etc.) are not prohibitive. • • The McDonald Farm needs to be used in such a way that will add to the tax base of the County. Houses alone won't help the tax base, there needs to be some type of commercial or industrial (Hi-Tech) businesses on the site. • The McDonald Farm needs to be used for its highest and best use. Many golf courses have gone bankrupt. Locating a restaurant and a lodge there may be one of the uses that is acceptable. • The McDonald Farm may be a good site to locate a retirement community. This community would contain housing, light retail, professional offices (health care) and still have room for some Hi-Tech businesses. The retirement facility must not be non-profit -preferably it would be individual single family residences (patio homes) available to retirees only -retirees don't have children. • The County still needs a road that connects Bonsack to Mt. Pleasant, without having to go into the City of Roanoke. • Some of the best land in the Roanoke Valley is located in Bedford County. All that is needed is water and sewer. Vinton Neighborhood Issues The Top 3 Land Use issues are: 1. What ever type of development that occurs on the McDonald Farm should be a point of destination attraction so as to get a tax return on the development (14). 2. G. C. Murphy is closing at Lake Drive Plaza. We need a store like it in this community. It essentially serves as a small scale Kmart or Wal-Mart. We also need a cafeteria(4). 3. What can be done to generate more commercial activity in downtown?(3) Economic Development • How many people who shop here in Vinton are from Bedford? • Vinton would like to get downtown area into a Main Street Program. • There aren't any professionals locating in the Vinton area. • Get rid of unsightly businesses. • Reduce paper work and restrictions on new development. The McDonald Farm property required a 3 day charette process. The next steps in the process are: • To identify people in the community to form a citizen committee to develop design constraints. • Rezoning request. • Find a better use of McDonald Farm than a golf course. Use it for a hi-tech industry, or a retirement community. > ~ ,., . The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. *Hardy Road will be improved by the Town of Vinton and Bedford County. The Town will have a five lane road with sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides(7). *We need a bike trail and walkway along the Blue Ridge Parkway(7). 2. Mountain View Road is next on VDOT's 6 year plan. It is a very curvy and winding road. Additional setbacks may be needed. There is a large increase in traffic on this road(6). 3. Traffic signals needed at the intersection of Mountain View and Route 24(5). Transportation • Bus service to Lake Drive Plaza needs to continue. • The east circumferential is a dead issue now. I-73 will probably come first and may solve this problem(2). • Temporary access from Blue Ridge Parkway(2). • What about access from the Parkway into the McDonald Farm?(2) • This road improvement needs to be continued in the County as well. The Blue Ridge Parkway Bridge presents a "bottleneck" in relation to these improvements(2). • Alight is needed at Vinyard and McDonald's(3). • Feather Road & Route 24 also needs a traffic light. As traffic increases on Feather Road, setbacks should be increased for future development. Schools • Roanoke County Career Center (RCCC) needs attention. Currently it is the County's alternative school and only serves 150 students It is a major structure in town and something needs to be done. It presents a challenge(5). • • The Blue Ribbon is looking at this school (RCCC) in its study of school facilities for Roanoke County. • Anew school is needed in Bonsack. This will relieve crowding at the Roland E. Cook Elementary School in Vinton(2). • Cook is a great school and very important to the community. The kids love it. The school provides a sense of community (it is a school that kids can walk to) (2). • Cook is located on only 1 acre of land. Need 25 acres to build new school. Cook has a great playground. • Expansions are needed at every school(1). • We need a separate entrance for school buses at W. E. Cundiff(2). Parks • We have good parks with lots of ball fields. Water & Sewer • There is a water tank on Chestnut Mountain. • If sewer and water go into Explore Park, will it then be extended into Mt. Pleasant?(4) • Town of Vinton is looking at providing water to Eastern Bedford County. • Provide sewer service for Falling Creek. Stormwater Management/Flood Prevention There has been a lot of flooding in the Midway area. A Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) grant will allow the Town to buy the houses and remove them from the site. The site will then be turned into a greenway(2). Greenways • Greenways will provide more passive recreation opportunities(3). Comments generated from the Community Forum • Avoid °blank brick" walls on Pollard Street; such as old Mick-or-Mack building." • No buffer between businesses and residents such as Walnut and West Cleveland -bad!. • Beautify mid-way area. • • Intersection of 8th at Norfolk Southern tracks and Walnut is dangerous. • Maintain Valley Metro Service. • Windsor Hills Neighborhood Council Appealing and Non-appealing Sites Appealing • The Allstate, Atlantic, and Colonnade Office buildings. The landscaping is nice and the parking lots are to the rear and screened from view along Route 419. • The Lutheran Family Services site. • Winterberry Point is nice. • The views of Mt.

Chestnut. Non-appealing • Oak Grove Plaza needs a facelift. The architecture is not sufficient -the stone wall, non-existent landscaping, too many columns, large number of vacant stores, roof leaks, and McDonald's has yet to make improvements. • Frank Porter's project along Long Ridge Drive. Erosion & sediment control has not been implemented properly. The design of the development did not "fit in" with the land -scared the ridgeline. • Route 419 needs more landscaped medians. More foliage along this road is needed trees). VDOT also cuts wild flowers down along secondary roads - Day Lilies. • The facilities at Garst Mill and Oak Grove Park are poorly maintained and look bad. These parks. need repairs to the bathrooms, picnic shelters, parking lots and the entrance roads. • Scattered vacant lots that grow up with weeds and collects trash -litter. • The large power transmission lines and towers. Also, the maintenance of these tower corridors -clear cutting. • The Harris Garage on Route 221 needs to be improved. • • There is an illegal dump at Cedar Point Apartments. Over the side of the road, large bulky items have been deposited. . .x . ~. ~.:. ._ ~ .:, '~ac. ~ .. ~cr,S ....•.. ..of< •• :~'. ... ., ..; ,:; y :: AA~~ ~~,, ~....r ..,,.....

General Comments • Need to work on drainage problems for the baseball and softball fields -too muddy. • We have fewer parks than other parts of the County -need more basketball courts, baseball fields, and soccer fields. • Why does VDOT have a patch work approach to re-surfacing neighborhood roads? • The parks need to be better maintained. • The Western Virginia Land Trust will offer the potential to preserve some of the important and/or large tracts of land -open space. • The development of a nice restaurant in the community would be nice. • The Via property could be used for open space, recreation, a new park or upscale office buildings. • The large estate/trust north of Canterberry Park and west of Route. 221 should be acquired by the County as a possible future school site or park. 4. ••. . ,.,: . f i.~~.~.•~:•3ci .. :: ~.6~wCr'w.w.ld'.x• w < ~ ~,9%C f 4 • `~ ::>rK .. :>:? Windsor Hills Neighborhood Issues The Top 3 Land Use issues are: 1. Oak Grove Plaza needs upgrading(27). 2. Provide incentives for upscale or high- tech/professional offices at Oak Grove Plaza; linkage for health care providers to Lewis Gale(10). 3. Encourage tree planting and other beautification measures along Route 419; a tree ordinance(7). Regionalism • Is consolidation being considered? Are we going to be annexed? It seems that in the past, each time we have done these types of projects the City annexes the area after the project is completed. • How does the County examine its taxing policies? How are such policies determined? (Not concerned about the rate but the formation of the policy)(2) • Elderly citizens being taxed out of their homes. Citizen Involvement • The County needs to organize an efficient citizen participation role for land use and other Board decisions (example: rezonings)(2). • Improve citizen knowledge of proposed changes well in advance. Form a citizen council in each neighborhood or district. Development Standards • Southwest Plaza looks attractive. Sugar Loaf Crossing is also an attractive looking commercial development. • Commercial development needs to fit in with the surrounding residential development. Commercial architecture needs to be compatible. • Require developers to install infrastructure off site so as not to overcrowd schools, parks, and roads(6). • Require new development to be planned developments or village centers, so that Route 419 will not become a parking lot(s). \)\\~~ .C:Sb {>,' •• ' f,•.:. .~... . • T .} SST:- +: ~{}}.'is'a,. ?

Housing • Development in general needs better planning. • New housing overwhelms existing services or creates demand for more services(6). • Only recently did the County adopt density controls. Prior to 1992, 15,000 sq. ft. lots were permitted anywhere in the County. • In each planning area there are rural, suburban, and sometimes urban neighborhoods. They should not be treated generically; vary development standards in relation to the intensity of land uses. Economic Development • Gradual commercialization of Route 419 and a downward trend of economic activities cause neighborhoods to fear a future like the Williamson Road area. The Top 3 Public Facilities issues are: 1. Place the 9th grade in the high school(19). 2. Need more space for the students(18). 3. Don't move Headquarters of library to Glenvar or elsewhere(17). Utilities • There is a shortage of some public services such as police and utilities(1). • The water has too much chlorine(2). • Excess water pressure in some locations. • Other water and sewer lines are aging and failing as a result. • Will water costs remain high or will they level off?(3) • Many wells in Windsor Hills are failing. Will the County provide water to these areas? •. ., .. ..;,.. • • Place fire hydrants in rural neighborhoods who are receiving water from Spring Hollow. Schools • Provide an equitable distribution of equipment across the County. Base the equipment distribution upon student population (schools with higher student populations get more computers than schools with lower student populations).(5) • Develop alternate routes for school buses on snow days(4). • In the past when it snowed on Bent Mountain, the County schools did not close. However, the children on Bent Mountain did not have to come to school and were given the day off as an excused absence. Why did that change? Parks • Garst Mill Park is not well maintained. Problems exist along the new sewer line(7). • Provide police patrols in the park (after hours). • There needs to be more picnic shelters in the park. • We need more soccer fields, baseball/softball fields, and basketball courts with lights (enhance & maintain existing ones too)(5). • Parks need to provide bike and walking trails linking neighborhoods and schools(3). • In Oak Grove Park, the rest rooms need to be modernized/maintained(4). • Expand Oak Grove Park; trail and tree walk toward Allstate. • Provide after hours programs for Seniors at Oak Grove; educate and involve Seniors in solutions to school problems. • Link Brambleton Center, library, and schools with regularly scheduled programs for seniors, and others to develop a sense of community(2). • Develop a speakers bureau. Transportation • New housing development places additional traffic on existing, substandard roads; an example is McVitty Road. • Hidden Valley School needs a traffic light(11). • Why doesn't Oak Grove School have blinking, reduced speed lights? • We need a traffic light on Stoneybrook(4). • Provide wider shoulders on existing roads.

Drainage • stormwater management is important to the residents in Windsor Hills(3). • There is a problem with stream flooding and the pollution of those streams due to no management of drainage. • Provide drop inlets at locations such as Bridle Lane and Sugar Loaf Drive. • Adopt regional stormwater management plan and implement Mudlick Creek area as a priority(4). The Top 3 Resource issues are: 1. *There should be some limit as to how far up a mountain development can occur(8). *Implement the Conceptual Greenway Plan linking schools, parks, libraries , etc. (8). 2. *Preservation of farms and orchards before they are all sold off to developers (4). *Preservation of rural and forested areas before they are all developed(4). 3. *Stream pollution from failing septic systems and stormwater runoff(2). *Protection of Back Creek from development/construction(2). Ridgelines • How far up on the mountains can people build homes? • We need to protect our ridgelines. • Cellular towers should not be placed on ridgelines(1). Water Quality • Failing wells due to the presence of bacteria. • Plan more protected green space along Mudlick Creek Light Pollution • Overuse of street lights within the Blue Ridge Parkway Viewshed. Greenways • Extend Greenway from Garst Mill Park north to Roanoke City (1). • Develop an open space plan; need more open space in Windsor Hills. • Greenway or bike lane along Route 221 to Bent Mountain(1). Rural Preservation & Wildlife • Use Oregon's approach to protect rural parts of the County. • Clear cutting of tracts in the County; do we have control over this practice? • As County land is developed, people are displacing wildlife. Animal control only deals with dogs and cats, and refuses to help with raccoons, bears, etc. What if these animals are rabid? } • Part 4 -County-wide Trends & Themes This section provides a summary of those issues which were consistently identified by the neighbofiood councils across the entire County. Many ideas and suggestions were brought up by the neighborhood council members. Only those issues that were consistently identified by the councils are described below. Individuals interested in greater detail should refer to the summaries for each community found in the previous section of this report. Land Use: Design Themes • New development should incorporate a high standard of design including the following design elements: appropriate architecture, landscaping, and "tasteful" signs. • New developments should be planned communities. • Incompatible land uses should be appropriately buffered from adjoining land uses. • New developments should be required to preserve existing trees as a condition of approvals and permitting. • Require the use of a charette design process when dealing with large new developments coming into the community. Enforcement Themes • There is a perception that zoning laws are not strictly enforced or that these laws are not strong enough. • Provide stiffer penalties for littering and illegal dumping. • Diligently work to clean up properties that are perceived to be "eyesores." . . .. ~.v.~ r ~'~ ` . ~. 44v .. , F ~X f . ~. ,,z... . , f,. )~::; .: ~.

Educational Themes • Improve the physical spaces as well as instruction in the County's schools. • Provide a more expansive technical training program to those students not wishing to enter college. A highly qualified technically skilled work force will be an asset in attracting new industry to the County. • Expand library services into the rural areas. Utility Service Themes • Provide residents with public water and public sewer service. • Reduce stream flooding by managing stormwater runoff. Recreational Themes • Expand and provide better maintenance of park facilities. • Include the addition of gyms and other lighted, recreational facilities when other school improvements are planned.

' ,+ti,+y rr .~ •.. •L• Public Facilities (continued): Public Safety Themes • Provide increased police patrols. • Expand emergency services to reduce response times. Resources: Greenway Themes • All localities in the Valley should coordinate to provide for the protection of environmental resources, such as Virginia's Explore Park, Roanoke River, Blue Ridge Parkway and greenways. • Greenways are important for recreation, tourism and economic development efforts. Greenways also help in the management of • stormwater and flood waters. • Adopt and implement the Valley Greenway Plan for the County. Ridgeline Protection Themes • Utility and communications structures should not be placed on the ridgelines. • The scenic beauty of this area contributes to its quality of life and preserves property values. • Limit mountainside and ridgeline development. • Preserve mature trees through the County's development regulations. • Require best management practices in all logging operations. r~ U .~ ~. ~~~ n >_. r~.. ~. ~ ;: ;:f.:' f Resources (continued): Water Quality Themes • Preserve streams and creeks. • Erosion and sediment control measures must be strengthened and enforced to protect water resources. Quality of Life Themes • Provide incentives and/or requirements for the preservation of the historic structures in the County. Preserve the architectural character of historic areas and structures. • Commercial, industrial, and residential development needs to be balanced with the preservation of agricultural practices and rural lifestyles in Roanoke County. i • ~J Appendix A Neighborhood Council Packet Roanoke County Community Plan -Overview --_ .What is a Community Plan? '' ~ - • In Virginia, each local government is required to adopt a community plan. • The plan is the tool that local government officials and citizens use to express their goals for the future of their community. • According to the Virginia Law, the plan is a document that is general in nature and shall show the community's long-range recommendations for its' general development. • The plan usually contains sections addressing the following types of topics: Housing, Transportation, Public Utilities, Parks, Libraries, Fire/Police, Economic Development, Environment, existing and future Land Use. • Law requires that the plan be updated/reviewed every 5 years. The plan was reviewed 5 years ago and is now being completely updated. Summary of Roanoke's Existing Community Plan: • The existing Community Plan was originally adopted in 1985. The Plan establishes the limits of urbanization to the year 2003 and distinguishes between urban and rural areas and levels of service. • The urban and rural areas are further divided into land use categories according to th:: general intensity of land use and availability of public services. Policy guidelines have been prepared for each land use category to assist all parties, public and private, in making decisions about land use changes in the community. • Since 1985, the plan has been supplemented with the 419 Corridor Plan and the Roanoke River Corridor.. Plan. Amore detailed description of th~e~ Plan will be provided by staff at your first meeting or is available by contacting the Department of Planning and Zoning.

ITEM NUMBER ~~ f AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Request to Approve Proposed Changes to the CORTRAN Transportation System Effective July 1, 1997 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: /~ iJ BACKGROUND: CORTRAN is the paratransit transportation system operated for the County of Roanoke by RADAR (Unified Human Services Transportation System) which serves the population of the County of Roanoke and the Town of Vinton. Eligible riders include persons aged 60 or above as certified by the League of Older Americans and persons who are physically challenged who are certified by Easter Seal. CORTRAN provides demand-responsive, curb-to-curb transportation services utilizing wheelchair-lift vans. This system provides transportation to any point within the perimeter of Roanoke County including points within the City of Roanoke and City of Salem. Persons can use this system to go to medical appointments, shopping, work, socialization, or other needs. Under the present system, the person is required to phone 24 hours to a week in advance to get an appointment (time slot) for service. The service has been free and operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The City of Roanoke and Valley Metro operate their STAR program, also provided by RADAR, to meet the paratransit service needs of the residents of the City of Roanoke and other localities that pay for Valley Metro service. V , , { ~r / The following changes are recommended to be implemented effective July 1, 1997 for the CORTRAN system: - Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Riders will be required to pay a $2.50 fare for each one-way trip which will be paid directly to RADAR (CORTRAN). - Riders will be able to call one day in advance to two weeks in advance to schedule rides. Persons who regularly use CORTRAN at least three times per week to the same destination and at the same time for work, medical appointments, etc. may be placed on a route system to maximize the efficiency of the CORTRAN benefit to all County residents. FISCAL IMPACT: $35,000 has been added to the County budget for public transportation services ($105,200 total) to pay for these services. The $2.50 fare per one-way trip will be paid directly to CORTRAN to offset their costs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the changes to the CORTRAN program outlined above be approved effective July 1, 1997. RADAR (CORTRAN) should also be authorized to collect and retain the $2.50 fare per one-way trip to help pay for the cost of this service. Respectfully submitted, John M.

It provides housing for the working poor of our community so that they can share the American dream. We, the members of the Board of Habitat for Humanity, are trying to raise awareness of the housing need in the Roanoke Valley. We would ask that you ask your respective governments to declare the week of June 2, 1997 as Habitat for Humanity Week in the Roanoke Valley. At the end of the week on June 6, 1997, we will have our first signature event celebrating Habitat for Humanity in the Roanoke Valley. It will be our 11th Anniversary and we will be celebrating over 65 homes having been built in the Valley. Your community support and leadership will be a valuable tool in helping us to raise awareness and support for housing for the working poor. Former President Jimmy Carter said it best, "with Habitat's vision, we build more than houses. We build families, communities, and hope."

Board Member S Z~ HABITAT FOR F[iJMANITY BACKGROUND INFORMATION Habitat for Humanity builds homes for God's people in need. For someone to be eligible for a home they have to show that they have a steady income which can afford them to pay a monthly mortgage for $250-$275 which includes insurance and taxes. To be eligible for a home, applicants are screened through Habitat for Humanity offices. Each time a screening is held, more than 100 families apply although 6-10 homes a year are being built at the present time. Once a family applies, they put in four hundred hours of their own swea± equity intc building their home before they can possess a home. They repay an interest free mortgage over 20 years and the monthly income from the mortgage goes back to Habitat for Humanity to build a basis for future homes for other needy families. The underwriters of this event will be making a very direct commitment to their community. All underwriting sponsors will be mentioned in the advertisements for the event in the newspaper in the published program and on special posters at the event itself. They will also be placed in the Habitat for Humanity Newsletter which goes out twice a year to over 5,000 families in the Roanoke Valley. They will also be placed on the thousands of invitations sent. Finally, the Master Builder sponsors will be mentioned in the public service announcements that we hope to have surrounding the event, especially if we can get the governments to declare the week prior to the Habitat Fund-Raiser as Habitat Week in the Roanoke Valley.

'" ~I~rd AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: June 26, 1990 AGENDA ITEM: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ASSESSMENT OF FEES TAXED AS COSTS IN CERTAIN CASES FILED IN COURTS OF THE COUNTY FOR CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION OR MAIN- TENANCE OF COURTHOUSE, JAIL OR COURT-RELATED FACIL- ITIES, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND AN EXPIRATION DATE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS : ,~ ~,,!'.~~ BACKGROUND: The 1990 session of the Virginia General Assembly enacted House Bill 74 which added a new section to the State Code, Section 14.1-133.2. This legislation authorized the assessment of a fee which will be taxed as costs in each criminal and traffic case in the district and circuit courts serving Roanoke County This fee is limited to $2.00 per case. The assessment shall be imposed by ordinance of the governing body, and the ordinance may provide for a different fee in district and circuit courts. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: This assessment imposes court costs for the purposes of construction, renovation or maintenance of courthouse or jail and court-related facilities and to defray increases in the cost of heating, cooling, electricity, and ordinary maintenance. This legislation includes a "sunset" provision: the provi- sions of this act shall expire on July 1, 1991. The assessment shall be collected by the clerks of the dis- trict and circuit courts, and remitted to the Treasurer subject to disbursements by the Board for the purposes specified in the statute. The first reading of this ordinance is scheduled for June 12, 1990; the second reading and public hearing is scheduled for June 26, 1990. ALTERNATIVES AND IMPACTS: ~J~ C~9a-a Based upon discussions with the Clerks of the General District and Circuit Courts, it is estimated that this fee will generate approximately $25,000 in new revenue in Fiscal Year 1990-91. (This estimate is based upon last year's case load.) Staff recommends that the Board appropriate the $25,000 in new revenues for the purposes as stated in the ordinance. Staff will submit to the Board at a later date a recommendation for the expenditure of these funds once a series of projects are identified and prioritized. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board favorably consider the adoption of this proposed ordinance. Respectfully submitted, Paul M.

The few spaces at the rear of the Jail are reserved for various court officers and judges. To the east, around the small office building occupied by Sheriff Kavanaugh, there is only very limited space that can be used for parking. Until recently, most of the overflow parking was accommodated on paved areas surrounding a Getty Mart and a vacant restaurant on the north side of Main Street, across Thompson Memorial Drive from the County property. The Getty Mart owners have now purchased the vacant restaurant, which will be razed to allow expansion of the Getty Mart and which will eliminate the extra parking space. William Watts is the owner of a 0.68-acre tract bounded by East Main Street, Craig Avenue, Clay Street, and the Getty Mart property (see plat attached). He is not willing to sell the land, but ha will give the County first option on leasing his lot, which could be used for parking. If Roanoke County does not lease it, he will lease to Allright Parking. There is no other parking space of adequate size within reasonable walking distance of these County facilities. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The need for parking space for the Sheriff's Office and the Courthouse/Jail complex is very real. In addition to parking for employees, space to park is needed for the citizens, prisoners' families, lawyers, witnesses, jurors, etc. who must visit these buildings and for the State Troopers, County Police, and other law enforcement officers who must appear in court . The employees in these facilities feel that. they are entitled to free parking because no other group of County employees must pay to park. RECOMMENDATION: Preliminary negotiations with Mr. Watts indicate he would lease his lot to the County for around $735 a month, or $8,820 annually. Since July, 1990, the County's General District and Circuit Courts have -2- ~-~ V been collecting a $2 fee on each of their criminal and traffic cases, which money is to be used solely for construction, renovation, or maintenance of courthouse or jail and court-related facilities, as provided in §14.1-133.2 of the Code of Virginia, as amended. As governing body, the Supervisors approve disbursement of these funds. Annual revenue from this source has been around $24,800. I believe that lease of the Watts property in order to provide parking for the Courthouse/Jail complex could be considered "maintenance of a court-related facility" and would be a proper expenditure of this reserve fund. I recommend that the County Administrator be directed to proceed with negotiations for a long-term lease with Mr. Watts, at a cost not to exceed the figure mentioned herein, and that the County Attorney be directed to prepare the ordinance required in order for the County to enter into such lease. FISCAL IMPACT: The lease and upkeep of this parking lot will become an annual financial obligation which, it is anticipated, can be met from revenues generated by the special fee collected by the County's General District and Circuit Courts. An appropriation resolution will be prepared for your consideration along with the ordinance authorizing a lease agreement. Respectfully submitted, 4<J E mer C.

Hodge <:~¢ Subj: Agreement with Town of Vinton Cost Sharing of Fire/Rescue Equipment Date: May 16, 1997 Attached is the agreement with the Town of Vinton for acquisition of fire and rescue vehicles. Vinton Town Manager Clay Goodman and I have reviewed the agreement and signed the document. It will be brought to the Board of Supervisors and Vinton Town Council for approval at your next meetings. I believe this agreement is equitable and will be a model regional agreement for other localities as well. CC: Richard Burch John Chambliss Mary Allen r s TOWN OF VINTON/COUNTY OF ROANOKE AGREEMENT ON SHARING COST5 OF FIRE/RESCUE EQUIPMENT This agreement is entered into between Roanoke County and the Town of Vinton for the expressed purpose of sharing costs of specified vehicles and applicable vehicular equipment for the Vinton Fire Department and Vinton First Aid Crew. The TOWN agrees to reimburse the COUNTY, upon delivery, for costs equal to 50% of the purchase of a 1997 Pierce fire pumper truck, to be jointly titled and a like share of costs for any current or future related equipment necessary to outfit this truck for fire suppression service as determined by the COUNTY. The COUNTY agrees to house this vehicle in the Vinton Fire Station for use by the Vinton Fire Department to answer emergency calls in areas mutually agreed upon by the COUNTY and TOWN. Should this vehicle be approved for removal in the future, the COUNTY shall reimburse the TOWN for 50% of the salvage value of the 1997 Pierce. The TOWN currently owns and operates a 1984 Mack fire truck (Engine 20), which the TOWN has already recommended to be replaced or refurbished. The TOWN understands that the Roanoke County Fire\Rescue Apparatus Replacement Committee (ARC) will make a recommendation to the Chief of Fire and Rescue to replace or refurbish this engine, using established criteria for safety and function. The TOWN will have sole claim of the salvage value of the current Engine 20, but will offer the COUNTY the option of first refusal to purchase the truck at fair market value. The TOWN will retain authority to accept or deny future ARC recommendation for replacement or refurbishment of the Engine 20. The COUNTY and TOWN agree to budget necessary funds to share equally in the cost of this vehicle's replacement or refurbishment. In addition to the cost share of the two aforesaid described fire engines, both parties agree to cost share on a 50/50 basis the replacement and ancillary equipment purchases on the current R-22 1988 ALS Ambulance and R-26 1990 ALS Ambulance, paid for by the TOWN when originally purchased. These two (2) ambulances will be included in the equipment for review by the Roanoke County Fire/Rescue Apparatus Replacement Committee (ARC) or their successor, and may be recommended for disposal or transfer to other COUNTY stations with approval of both the COUNTY and TOWN. The TOWN will retain all monies received for the salvage sale of the current R-22 and R-26 when sold, with the COUNTY being given the right of first option on these current vehicles. If either of the two (2) jointly funded replacement units are sold, the two parties will receive equal share of the money received. The COUNTY agrees to maintain in the Vinton Stations the same level of equipment allocation as it does in like County Stations.

MEMO - 4 / 2 / 9 7 '`'~'~ To: Elmer Hodge - ~ ~ `"~ - From: Lee B. Eddy - ' Subject: Senior Citizens Work Program Thanks very much for your memo of 3/27/97 an e a e information from Aiken County, South Carolina. It looks as though they have a very successful program. I was particularly impressed by the variety of jobs that were made available to the seniors. We should keep in mind that annual County real estate taxes in South Carolina are likely much lower than in Virginia, because they have a separate tax to support the schools. I would suggest a couple of changes from the Aiken County plan. First, I think the eligibility .should be tightened to make sure that only citizens with limited financial resources qualify. Also, I would like to see the eligibility broadened to include persons with physical disabilities who may not meet the age criterion. Perhaps the LOA and/or other agencies that deal with this segment of our population could help with the publicity and qualification process. Second, I do not think it necessary for a person to work enough to pay off his/her entire real estate tax bill. If the annual Roanoke County bill were $1000 and the wage rate was $4.50 per hour, that would require 222 hours of work, equal to five and one-half full weeks. I suggest that a certain amount of money be appropriated each year for this purpose, give every qualified applicant an opportunity to work, and stop when the money runs out. I suggest we survey our department heads to see if they would be interested in having part time employees under this program. If the response is positive, I suggest a staff report and/or recommendation be prepared. Also, we could start with a limited amount of money appropriated to this purpose, and expand it if experience proves to be positive. copy: Supervisors Printed by Mary Allen / ADMO1 5/01/97 8:04am From: Paul Mahoney / ADMO1 To: Gang_of_forty* Group Subject: 1998 Legislative Program --------------------------------------- ===NOTE====------=====4/30/97==5:19pm== I received a letter from the Virginia Association of Counties requesting that each county submit its statewide legislative recommendations to it by 6/12/97.
