The budget included average salary increases of 3% for all school employees and a 25% increase in the group health insurance plan. The budget also included a request to reduce the reservation of $1.5 million in funding for operating the future high school in south county/Glenvar Middle addition in order to fund the salary and insurance increases for 2000-01. After meeting with County staff and board members, we are presenting this revised budget which addresses the priorities outlined by the School Board to reduce K-2 pupil/teacher ratios and provide competitive salary packages for all school employees. The revised budget includes an average 4% salary increase for all school employees, signing bonuses for new teachers, increases in substitute teacher and bus driver pay, expansion of the nursing day, expansion of the elementary SAP program, additional funding for head custodians and inservice days for instructional aides. We were able to fund these budget items due to the high level of county support for education and the effort of school staff to find creative ways to address budget needs with fewer dollars. Elementary Assistant Principals and Language Arts Coordinators will be spending a portion of everyday in the classroom in order to reduce pupil/teacher ratios. Central office and secondary schools have reduced their staffing for next year in order to reassign personnel to the schools with the highest ratios. Signing bonuses will be tried for the first time in an effort to attract the best teaching graduates to Roanoke County. New positions for special education, computer technology, distance learning aide, and afull-time substitute custodian will be funded with early retirement savings. School Resource Officers will be present at all secondary schools for the first time next year and the elementary DARE program will be expanded through our SAP Coordinators. Health insurance benefits have been modified in an effort to reduce the rate increase for next year and contain claims costs in future years. The FY 1999-2000 year end balance will be used to fund school buses and non-recurring expenses for the KPMG software upgrade and GASB #34 implementation. FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 2000-01 School Operating Fund budget is $95,277,499 and all school fund budgets total $103,247,046. The County will reserve the full $1,500,000 for the future operating costs of the new high school and Glenvar Middle school addition and will fund another $2,000,000 for Phase 1 capital projects in the Blue Ribbon Committee report. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: County and School staff and board members from both boards have diligently worked together to provide affordable health insurance and reasonable salary increases, as well as reduce the K- 2 pupil/teacher ratios for next year. Staff recommends adopting this budget for FY 2000-01. I: \ superintendent\Brenda\ SCHLBRD \BDREPORT \5-9-00.

Our priorities this year are focused upon classroom instruction in two areas: 1. recruiting and retaining the best teachers by becoming and remaining competitive in our salary benefit packages 2. providing class sizes which closely mirror what research demonstrates as optimal Beginning at the school level and carrying through the school division, staff as well as parents and members of our community are encouraged to share their interests/concerns. Budget requests are evaluated by central office staff who make cuts and then present their top priorities to the school board. The school board then comes to a consensus on their priorities and again entertains public input. A final budget is then presented to the board of supervisors for their scrutiny. The 2000-2001 budget reflects reductions in central office staff in order to meet necessary instructional demands and places numerous items on hold due to limited funding. As ever, there are more needs than funding. Making decisions with such weighty consequences - our children's futures - is always difficult. We sincerely believe we have done our best to narrow our priorities and offer them in this budget for 2000-2001. Sincerely, Linda H. Weber, Superintendent 2 a ....

For the 2000-01 fiscal year, contract salaries and fringe benefits are budgeted to consume 79.4% of expenditures in the operating budget as shown on page 12. The major department budget areas are discussed below. The classroom instruction departments of the school operating fund are composed of expenditures dealing directly with the interaction between teachers and students in the classroom. This includes the development of curriculum and instructional programs which support the standards of quality and the administration of schools and programs in compliance with state, federal, and school board mandates, policies, and guidelines. Classroom instruction also includes expenditures associated with educational testing, vocational education programs, special education services, homebound instruction, and guidance services. Personnel is the largest expenditure in the school operating fund. These departments include the salary and fringe benefit costs for classroom personnel, instructional and central office support staff, and school administration. • Support services is composed of expenditures related to providing transportation for regular, special, and summer school programs and the maintenance and operation of all school plant facilities. The central support departments include expenditures for the school board and the superintendent. The expenditures associated with the preparation of the school budget, pupil assignments, and staff development are also included in this category. Insurance premiums and the school system's share of data processing services are budgeted under central support. The special programs departments capture the cost of providing summer school and adult education classes. • 10 • • Roanoke County Schools Operating Fund Expenditures (80.2%) Personnel (4.2%) Support Services ~ (0.5%) Summer School '3.yr ~ '.~ :Y• R (0.2Y.)

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Springwood Park is located in southwest Roanoke County at the corner of Route 419 and Brambleton Ave. The Park is a 10-acre mixed-use commercial development of which approximately 2 acres is currently developed. On November 17, 1999, Springwood Associates, LLC requested Public Private Partnership Assistance to develop the remaining 8 acres into a 47,500 sq. ft. mixed-use commercial development. The request included sharing the cost of installation of a traffic signal; installation of deceleration, entrance, and turning lanes on Route 419; utility extensions and fees; and storm water management. Springwood estimated that it and other tenants would create $8,140,000 of new investment in real estate and business personal property and $12,800,000 in sales. This is estimated to generate $830,000 in new tax revenue over a three year period from real estate, personal property, BPOL fees, and sales tax. In the Performance Agreement, Roanoke County, through the Industrial Development Authority will reimburse Springwood up to $500,000 for road and traffic improvements and storm water management improvements over a four year period. Roanoke County will make the annual reimbursements on March 1 for up to four years based on the annual new tax revenue generated. The four year period begins when Springwood Associates applies for the first reimbursement, but the four year period will not exceed March 1, 2006. Staff does not expect a request for reimbursement prior to March 2002. The annual payment will not exceed $ 175,000. 7 a s - ~ ~- a FISCAL IMPACT No impact anticipated this fiscal year. ALTERNATIVES 1. Authorize the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement upon approval as to form by the County Attorney, to reimburse Springwood Associates, LLC, up to a maximum of $500,000 for the specified improvements. 2. Decline authorizing the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement with Springwood Associates, LLC.

'~ a AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 9, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Request for approval of Sheriff's employment agreement with the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: This item is on the agenda at my request so I recommend approval, but I do so with some concern. We have maintained parity and equity with other County employees and do not want to take any action that will be detrimental to the employees of the Sheriffs Office. The Sheriffs attorney has proposed a change in the grievance procedure that is different from the County's. The terms of the agreement should be made available to the employees. If handled properly, this can be a good program for the Sheriff, his employees, and the County. Sheriffs' offices in Virginia are regulated greatly by the State Compensation Board. The Compensation Board authorizes a certain number of positions based on population. The classification of positions and funding provided by the State varies for each locality and each position. It is often difficult to reconcile this with the County pay and classification plan. It would be much less confusing if the Compensation Board would provide a block grant to each locality as the State does to police departments. The Sheriff has enlisted an attorney from Richmond who has drafted the attached agreement. I do not agree with all provisions and make the following suggestions to you: 1. The block grant should be based on compliance with County practices each year. 2. If the State increases funding to the Sheriffs Office, the County should be able to reduce local funding a like amount. 3. If the Sheriff's Office generates fees sufficient to provide salary increases or benefits in excess of those received by County employees, the County should reserve the right to adjust the local funding contribution. BACKGROUND: The Sheriff's Office currently participates in the County of Roanoke Pay & Classification plan, under the structure and direction of the Department of Human Resources, per an agreement signed by the Sheriff and approved by resolution number 12892-11 of the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors on January 28, 1992. ~~ SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: In recent years, there has been increased difficulty in the attempt to incorporate the Commonwealth Compensation Board Pay & Classification Plan with the County of Roanoke's Pay & Classification Plan. Also, furthering the complication was the attempt to amalgamate the Compensation Board policy with the County of Roanoke's Human Resource personnel policies and job descriptions. While the Sheriff is required by statute to employ certain personnel practices, at times, those practices have been and are continuing to be in conflict with County of Roanoke Human Resource personnel policies. It is respectfully requested that the Board of Supervisors consider termination of the subject employment agreement and adopt the proposed resolution.

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 9, 2000 SUBJECT: First reading of an ordinance authorizing the adjustment of water and sewer rates. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~u~-a',~,,.,~,.~ BACKGROUND: Last Fall, Roanoke County and the City of Roanoke successfully negotiated a new agreement for the sale of bulk and surplus water. The following changes were accomplished by the new contract: The County would no longer be required to purchase a minimum quantity of water. Both the County and the City could purchase surplus water from the other parry with an equal rate for both parties. Roanoke City would have the right to purchase up to 4 MGD of water from the County. Roanoke County and Roanoke City will jointly work to increase our system interconnections, allowing for a more reliable water system in the valley. Cost savings to the County will begin in July 2000. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: County staff along with consultants from Draper Aden Associates have projected a 6.6% reduction in required water revenue after July 1, 2000. This reduction will be reflected in base rates thereby benefiting customers that use a smaller volume of water per quarter. When considering the amount of decrease several criteria were considered: 1. Revenue covenants from the water revenue bond trust indenture must continue to be met. 2. Sufficient revenue be retained to be able to fund needed capital expenditures of the system. 3. Rates should not be lowered so drastically that a rate increase would be needed in the next few years. This reduction allows the water fund to continue its capital improvement plan of replacing older water systems, improving water storage facilities, providing adequate fire protection and improving water quality and flows. M:\FINANCE\COMMON\BOARD\5-9-OO.wpd ~~ Along with the water rate reduction, we are recommending a reallocation of the sewer rate. This will lower the percentage of the charge that is in the base charge and increase the percentage of the charge that is in the volume charge. This will also benefit the low volume user. The overall sewer revenues will remain the same. Attachment A shows the existing water and sewer rates and the proposed new water and sewer rates. Attachment B shows comparisons of total customer bills based on selected consumptions. FISCAL IMPACT: The reduction in revenues will be offset by a reduction in expenses provided by the new contract with the City of Roanoke. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the first reading of the attached ordinance. The public hearing and second reading of the ordinance are scheduled for May 23, 2000. After approval, the rate adjustments will be effective July 1, 2000. SUBMITTED BY: ~~ ~~ ~~ ~- l Gary Robertson, 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 9, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: First reading of an ordinance to adopt an official map for Roanoke County showing the location and future right-of-way width of the proposed extension of Dow Hollow Road to the Roanoke County Center for Research and Technology (RCCRT) COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~~Qe ~ ~ v, J The master plan for the RCCRT designated several road access points to the planned research park. The initial access to the park is from Glenmary Drive. The first phase of this access is now under construction and will be completed by July of this year. A second access option for the park is an extension of Dow Hollow Road to the western edge of the site. The enclosed map(s) show the location of this proposed Dow Hollow Road right-of-way. This right-of-way is based upon a known center line, and is designated to be 100 feet in width. This access was discussed extensively during the preparation of the master plan for RCCRT, and was included in the adopted document. Roanoke County would like to begin the process of protecting the right-of-way for this future Dow Hollow access. ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL STREET MAP State law provides that localities may prepare and adopt an official street map showing any existing or proposed right-of- ways within the County. The effects of the adoption of the map ~a 2 are twofold. First, the official map would be a formal plan of the County showing the future proposed right-of-way of Dow Hollow, and would serve as a formal notice to the community of the County's eventual intention to construct the road. Second, state law provides that if a right-of-way is shown on an official map, the County would have, by law, additional time to negotiate and acquire a property, if property within the right-of-way was proposed for development. If this right-of-way is designated as part of an official map, Roanoke County would have 60 days to make a decision on any building permit request for property within the right-of-way. If, during this period, Roanoke County chooses to deny a permit because of the location of the proposed structure/use, the County would thereafter have 120 additional days to purchase the property for fair market value from the owner, or initiate other action to legally acquire the property. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A community open house on this proposal was held on April 25, 2000. Approximately fifty property owners in the Dow Hollow area were notified of the open house. Five (5) property owners attended the open house. Three owners resided on Grey Fox Lane. Their property would not be directly affected by the proposed extension. These owners expressed a hope that the private road leading to their homes could be improved as a part of a future Dow Hollow project. One property owner (Mr. McNeil), suggested a slight realignment at time of final design to avoid a corner of his property. Another owner (Ms. Grant) was concerned that the proposed right-of-way would come close to a home she intends to renovate. Subsequent to the open house, staff met with Ms. LaMarre. Ms. LaMarre's property would be affected by the proposed alignment. Issues of timing were discussed, and staff advised Ms. LaMarre that the future extension of Dow Hollow was contingent upon a need for the road and available funding. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on May 2, 2000. Approximately fifty property owners were notified of the hearing. One citizen spoke at the public hearing. After the public hearing, the Commission recommended, by resolution, the adoption of this ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends as follows: That the Board of Supervisors hold first reading on the prepared ordinance, and schedule second reading and public ~.. ~ 3 hearing for May 23, 2000.

ITEM NO. ;T'"' AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: May 9, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: First Reading of an ordinance amending and reenacting the zoning ordinance for Roanoke County by the addition of optional provisions pertaining to the style and location of freestanding signs within C-2 General Commercial Districts. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:I ~ ~ ~`~. . BACKGROUND' At the Board's direction, the Planning Commission has been evaluating alternative ways to promote flexibility in the placement of new freestanding signs in the county in C-2 General Commercial Districts. Current regulations require a minimum separation of 250 feet between signs on a parcel under single ownership or control. The intent of the Commission was to propose a modification of this standard to allow signs closer than 250 feet apart, if the new signs met certain minimum design standards. Under the proposed provisions, any new freestanding sign within 250 feet of an existing freestanding sign would need to be a monument type sign designed and installed in accordance with the design guidelines contained in the attached ordinance. In addition, no new freestanding sign could be located less than 100 feet from an existing sign. Finally, in exchange for this increased flexibility in the placement of the new sign, the property owner would need to modify an existing freestanding sign on the property, in accordance with these design guidelines. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this amendment on May, 2, 2000 and has recommended approval of the ~' 2 amendment to you. In recommending approval, the Commission commented that the proposed amendment allows more flexibility in the placement of freestanding signs yet retains the original objective of the sign ordinance which is to allow businesses adequate signage while controlling and improving the visual clutter of our commercial areas. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends as follows: 1. That the Board of Supervisors accept the Commission's recommendation for First Reading and schedule Second Reading and public hearing for May 23, 2000.

The congregation wished to make repairs to the building and use it as a church. The offer included a desire to allow the community to continue to use the park area. A restriction was placed in the deed to the Church reserving the right to continue to use the park area for park and recreational purposes for the benefit of the citizens in the community. The Church now desires to expand their building and build a parsonage. The proposal is to expand into the park area. The Church is requesting that the County remove this restriction from their property. Attached as Exhibit 1 and 2 you will find a sketch of the current layout of the Church property and a sketch of the proposed layout. This action requires the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the removal of the restriction. The first reading and public hearing of the ordinance is scheduled for Apri125, 2000; and the second reading is scheduled for May 9, 2000. FISCAL IMPACTS: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of the attached ordinance authorizing the removal of this restriction. u~ll~ynsubmitted: 111 ~~~ Paul M.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: As a result of increasing traffic along the Interstate 81 corridor, the Virginia Department of Transportation has proposed improving the interstate to provide increased carrying capacity and to address safety concerns. These proposed improvements include the enlargement of Exit 132 (Dixie Caverns) and Exit 141 (Hanging Rock). In response to these proposed improvements, the Board of Supervisors asked staff to analyze the potential land use impacts and opportunities that the road improvements might provide. An additional objective of the project studies was to determine suitable land uses within these interchange areas that could promote economic opportunities while limiting haphazard development. Over the last year, staff has held several community meetings in each of these project areas. The proposed Community Plan revisions reflect citizen input from these meetings, staff analysis of current and anticipated conditions and Planning Commission review. These recommendations could be implemented in all or some of the l~-rar~b z following ways: (1) as guidelines in the review of rezonings and special use permits; (2) as requirements of a future interchange overlay district incorporated into the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance; or (3) as guidelines used in evaluating public/private partnerships to advance economic development projects. The proposed ordinances are attached. An ordinance has been prepared for each interchange project area and contain the following information: 1)Dixie Caverns/I-81 interchange text amendments and land use map revisions; and 2)Hanging Rock/I-81 interchange text amendments, land use map revisions and Economic Opportunity Area - West map revisions. The text amendments would be incorporated into Chapter 3, Section 6 -Economic Development Plan of the 1998 Roanoke County Community Plan. SUMMARY Public hearing was held on April 25, 2000 and continued to May 9, 2000 at the request of Board members. Colored maps of the two project areas were distributed at first and second readings. A color map of each area will be available at the May 9, 2000 public hearing as well as a large color display map of each area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends as follows: Hold second reading and public hearing and adopt the two prepared ordinances.

DIXIE CAVERNS INTERCHANGE DISTRICT PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Dixie Caverns Interchange District, shown on the attached land use map, is bounded by Poor Mountain Road on the east, the Montgomery County line on the west, the ridge of Fort Lewis Mountain on the north and the Roanoke River on the south. The Interchange District is adjacent to and encompasses the 457-acre Roanoke County Center for Research and Technology, a Planned Technology District with strict covenants and architectural controls. Within the Interchange District, located on the eastern border, is Valley TechPark, a 135-acre industrial center surrounded by green space and walking trails. The Interchange District includes the Interstate 81 corridor and Rt. 11/460. In addition, the Interchange District is fifteen minutes away from the regional airport. Current land uses in the project area are widely varied and range from industrial to residential. The topography within the project area is slight to severe in terms of current and potential site development. West of the interchange the project area is comprised imarily of farm land, pockets of residential development and minimal dustrial/commercial growth. There are several large parcels of open land (ranging from 40 to 106 acres) with slopes of less than 10% within this area located between Route 11/460 and Interstate 81. With appropriate access improvements, these tracts could be suitable for industrial development. The area east of the interchange is more developed due to its proximity to the City of Salem. There is a combination of residential and commercial development in this area and the potential exists for additional commercial development along Route 11/460. Strip commercial development in this area, by adding entry points, could create additional traffic problems. Most of the existing development has occurred south of the Route 11!460 corridor, however, the Center for Research and Technology is expected to serve as a catalyst for new growth in the Dow Hollow and Prunty Road areas. Dow Hollow Road has been targeted as the primary access point to the Center for Research and Technology which will create commercial demand for the properties along this road. Both the north and south boundaries of the project area are comprised of steep slopes which are not suitable for intensive development. • ATTACHMENT C ~~ ~~ 1 ~ ~JECTIVES OF THE D1X1E CAVERNS INTERCHANGE DISTRICT Due to the location factors cited above, the recent extension of public water and sewer facilities and the existence of significant tracts of undeveloped land, this is an area with opportunity for substantial growth. It is an objective of Roanoke County to direct and manage this growth in a way that provides suitable locations for new businesses, provides opportunities for commercial and industrial development that supports the existing Center for Research and Technology and Valley TechPark and protects existing residential property values and quality of life in the area. In addition, the Interstate 81 corridor provides gateways into the Roanoke County community and this interchange is one of the front doors.. It is desirable to have this gateway express the community's pride, our strong economic health ,our good public image and our concern for the natural beauty of this area. The County would like to ensure that this interchange area develops in a manner that is attractive and provides the appropriate setting for science and high technology businesses, research and development firms, office and cornmerciai uses that support these facilities and tourist and traveler facilities and services. STUDY OBJECTIVES ~s a result of the increasing traffic along the Interstate 81 corridor, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has proposed improving the interstate to provide increased carrying capacity and address safety concerns. One of these proposed improvements calls for the enlargement of the Dixie Caverns interchange, Exit 132. This interchange study has been conducted to analyze the potential impacts and opportunities that the road improvements provide on the current land uses. An additional objective of the project is to determine suitable land uses within the project area which can promote economic opportunities for the area while limiting the haphazard development of land in ways that are not consistent with the overall objectives of the interchange district as cited above. DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The following Design and Land Use Guidelines are recommended to ensure that the development of the Dixie Caverns Interchange District conforms with the overall objectives of the District as stated above. These recommendations will be implemented in all or some of the following ways: (1) as guidelines in the review of rezonings and special use permits; (2) as requirements of 2 ~~ ~terchange overlay district incorporated into the Roanoke County Zoning mance; or (3) as guidelines used in evaluating public/private partnerships to advance economic development projects. Streetscape Improvements 1. This interchange area is a gateway into the Roanoke County community. Landscaped medians and right-of-ways, where appropriate and visual, are encouraged to be incorporated into road improvement projects. 2.

DIXIE CAVERNS INTERCHANGE DISTRICT PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Dixie Caverns Interchange District, shown on the attached land use map, is bounded by Poor Mountain Road on the east, the Montgomery County line on the west, the ridge of Fort Lewis P~lountain on the north and the Roanoke River on the south. The Interchange District is adjacent to and encompasses the 457-acre Roanoke County Center for Research and Technology, a Planned Technology District with strict covenants and architectural controls. Within the Interchange District, located on the eastern border, is Valley TechPark, a 135-acre industrial center surrounded by green space and walking trails. The Interchange District includes the Interstate 81 corridor and Rt. 11/460. In addition, the Interchange District is fifteen minutes away from the regional airport. Current land uses in the project area are widely varied and range from industrial to residential. The topography within the project area is slight to severe in terms of current and potential site development. West of the interchange the project area is comprised primarily of farm land, pockets of residential development and minimal industrial/commercial growth. There are several large parcels of open land (ranging from 40 to 106 acres) with slopes of less than 10% within this area located between Route 11/460 and Interstate 81. With appropriate access improvements, these tracts could be suitable for industrial development. The area east of the interchange is more developed due to its proximity to the City of Salem. There is a combination of residential and commercial development in this area and the potential exists for additional commercial development along Route 11/460. Strip commercial development in this area, by adding entry points, could create additional traffic problems. Most of the existing development has occurred south of the Route 11/460 corridor, however, the Center for Research and Technology is expected to serve as a catalyst for new growth in the Dow Hollow and Prunty Road areas. Dow Hollow Road has been targeted as the primary access point to the Center for Research and Technology which will create commercial demand for the properties along this road. Both the north and south boundaries of the project area are comprised of steep slopes which are not suitable for intensive development. • ATTACHMENT C OBJECTIVES OF THE DIXIE CAVERNS INTERCHANGE DISTRICT Due to the location factors cited above, the recent extension of public water and sewer facilities and the existence of significant tracts of undeveloped land, this is an area with opportunity for substantial growth. It is an objective of Roanoke County to direct and manage this growth in a way that provides suitable locations for new businesses, provides opportunities for commercial and industrial development that supports the existing Center for Research and Technology and Valley TechPark and protects existing residential property values and quality of life in the area. In addition, the Interstate 81 corridor provides gateways into the Roanoke County community and this interchange is one of the front doors. It is desirable to have this gateway express the community's pride, our strong economic health ,our good public image and our concern for the natural beauty of this area. The County would like to ensure that this interchange area develops in a manner that is attractive and provides the appropriate setting for science and high technology businesses, research and development firms, office and commercial uses that support these facilities and tourist and traveler facilities and services. STUDY OBJECTIVES As a result of the increasing traffic along the Interstate 81 corridor, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has proposed improving the interstate to provide increased carrying capacity and address safety concerns. One of these proposed improvements calls for the enlargement of the Dixie Caverns interchange, Exit 132. This interchange study has been conducted to analyze the potential impacts and opportunities that the road improvements provide on the current land uses. An additional objective of the project is to determine suitable land uses within the project area which can promote economic opportunities for the area while limiting the haphazard development of land in ways that are not consistent with the overall objectives of the interchange district as cited above. DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The following Design and Land Use Guidelines are recommended to ensure that the development of the Dixie Caverns Interchange District conforms with the overall objectives of the District as stated above. These recommendations will be implemented in all or some of the following ways: (1) as guidelines in the review of rezonings and special use permits; (2) as requirements of • 2 an interchange overlay district incorporated into the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance; or (3) as guidelines used in evaluating public/private partnerships to advance economic development projects. Streetscape Improvements This interchange area is a gateway into the Roanoke County community. Landscaped medians and right-of-ways, where appropriate and visual, are encouraged to be incorporated into road improvement projects. 2. In areas designated Core and Transition, the clustered development of new commercial and institutional buildings in a coordinated and cohesive design is encouraged. 3. Shared entrances and shared parking lots are encouraged. 4. The use of concrete curbing is recommended, where appropriate, in the areas designated Transition, Core and Principal Industrial to create a boulevard atmosphere. This will help to organize points of ingress and egress, improve drainage ways and provide a cohesive element to the corridor. The use of curbing also provides distinct areas for landscaping. Signaae 1. Monument style signs are encouraged throughout the interchange area. In areas designated Transition, monument signs, whether for multiple or single business, should not exceed 7 feet in height and 10 feet in width. In areas designated Core or Principal Industrial, monument signs, whether for multiple or single business, should not exceed fifteen feet in height and 10 feet in width. In all areas, monument signs should not be back lit but may have ground illumination. There should be a limit of one monument sign per parcel. 2. In situations where monument style signs are not used, then the sign regulations contained in the Office District (C-1) of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance, Section 30-93-13(D) should apply. 3.

It is desirable to have this gateway express the community's pride, our strong economic health, our good public image and our concern for the natural beauty and recreational opportunities that this area offers. • ATTACHMENT B ~~ 1~ - ~ STUDY OBJECTIVES As a result of the increasing traffic along the Interstate 81 corridor, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has proposed improving the interstate to provide increased carrying capacity and address safety concerns. One of these proposed improvements calls for the enlargement of the Hanging Rock interchange, Exit 141. This interchange study has been conducted to analyze the potential impacts and opportunities that the road improvements provide on the current land uses. An additional objective of the project is to determine suitable land uses within the project area which can promote economic opportunities for the area while limiting the haphazard development of land in ways that are not consistent with the overall objectives of the interchange district as cited above. DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The following Design and Land Use Guidelines are recommended to ensure that the development of the Hanging Rock Interchange District conforms with the overall objectives of the District as stated above. These recommendations will be implemented in all or some of the following ways: (1) as guidelines in the review of rezonings and special use permits; (2} as requirements of an interchange overlay district incorporated into the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance; or (3) as guidelines used in evaluating public/private partnerships to advance economic development projects. Streetscape Improvements 1. This interchange area is a gateway into the Roanoke County community. An overall streetscape theme which reflects a "parkway" atmosphere should be encouraged. Landscaping in existing right-of-ways adjacent to Routes 311 and 419 should be encouraged. In addition, landscaped medians and right-of-ways, where appropriate and visual, are encouraged to be incorporated into road improvement projects. 2. In areas designated Core and Transition, the clustered development of new commercial and institutional buildings in a coordinated and cohesive design is encouraged. 3. Shared entrances and shared parking lots are encouraged to create a safe vehicular environment and also to provide areas for landscaping. 2 t~ ~ ~ ~ Signaae 1. Monument style signs are encouraged throughout the interchange area. In areas designated Transition, monument signs, whether for multiple or single business, should not exceed 7 feet in height and 10 feet in width. In areas designated Core or Principal Industrial, monument signs, whether for multiple or single business, should not exceed fifteen feet in height and 10 feet in width. In all areas, monument signs should not be back lit but may have ground illumination. There should be a limit of one monument sign per parcel. 2. In situations where monument style signs are not used, then the sign regulations contained in the Office District (C-1) of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance, Section 30-93-13(D) should apply. 3. No new off-premises advertising should be allowed in the interchange district. 4. A financial incentive program should be developed to encourage owners of existing signs to renovate their signage to meet these recommended guidelines. Architectural Guidelines 1. Exterior building materials are encouraged to be of high quality, attractive in appearance, durable and easily maintained for the life of the structure. Brick, stone or masonry construction is preferred for all structures but particularly for those buildings fronting or visible from the public street. 2. Metal exterior construction materials are not encouraged. 3. For commercial properties, roof pitches of no less than a 4/12 pitch are encouraged on both primary structures and accessory structures. Flat roofs are not encouraged on commercial properties. Roof materials should be nonreflective. 4. Architectural design should be sensitive to form, texture, color and massing of buildings, with particular emphasis paid to articulating entrances and to minimizing bulk. 5. Bright primary colors for exterior materials, including trim, are discouraged. 6. A financial incentive program should be developed to encourage owners of existing buildings to renovate their facades to meet these recommended guidelines. • 3 °- Land Use Guidelines 1. It is the intention of Roanoke County to encourage the development and re- development of this interchange district in an orderly manner that is consistent with the stated objectives. This will ensure development that protects the environment and aesthetics of the area while protecting against development that is likely to cause or create a hazard or nuisance to adjacent properties. 2. The development and re-development of property within this interchange district should only be conducted when proper and safe vehicular access is provided taking into consideration sight distance, turning movements, acceleration and deceleration lanes and speed of traffic. 3. It is the intention of Roanoke County to provide technical and/or financial incentives to property owners within this Interchange District, through public/private partnerships where appropriate, to encourage the development and re-development of property within the guidelines stated herein. 4. It is the objective of Roanoke County to encourage the development and re- development of those properties that are best situated for industrial and commercial development based on location, road access, topography and other physical attributes while preserving and protecting existing residential properties and those properties best suited for no development or for very. low intensity development due to their special natural features. 4 ., AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2000 ORDINANCE 050900-4 VACATING AN EXISTING 20-FOOT DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON LOTS 9A (TAX MAP NO. 86.03-8-9), OWNED BY WEXFORD OF ROANOKE, INC., AND LOT 10A (TAX MAP NO. 86.03-8- 10), OWNED BY JACKSON ASSOCIATES LTD.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ~~~ ~~,ua-,' The petitioners, Wexford of Roanoke, Inc. and Jackson Associates, Ltd. of Virginia, are requesting an Ordinance to vacate the 20-foot drainage easement and remove the encumbrance on Lots 9A and 10A. Mr. Ron Jackson, President of Wexford of Roanoke, Inc. and Jackson Associates, Ltd. of Virginia, owner of Lots 9A and 10A of the subdivision being currently constructed as Wexford, Phase III, has requested that the 20' drainage easement, shown on the attached map, be vacated. This subdivision was originally created by Plat Book 18, Page 125, and these lots further revised by Plat Book 22, Page 172, located in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District. This easement was created for reducing the run off into the public right-of-way of Montague Way. The developer has provided information showing that with the development of Lots 9A and 10A, the current drainage easement is not needed and the storm water from these lots is being adequately handled by the existing storm drain system located within Montague Way. The current location and its required drainage ditch would be an encumbrance to the driveways and front yards for the residential owners of these lots. County staff has field inspected the subject easement and found that the vacation of such easements is acceptable. i ~}-~ w~ ~ r.4 JF?~ ~~~ ~.,~ ~a~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ s ~~ ~ z~ ~ ~ ~~~gg ..~. ~, $~IC ~I ~ ^~ M 1 N1 ~D pp ~~ ^ N~ }rya, a ~~ o• (~~jpr•~~+p~!!'~'!1/'~~ „~'~ir~u~iTiv,~~ ~nlh (~YN'1~O~~T ~y a~01Na0t~/1„ nte~mMnpnp~-IN•N U~IN~N'~Ititia ~~~~3~~~~~~ Gq I~ ~ p,.

Rick Burch Fire and Rescue Chiefl The work session was held from 7:10 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. and was presented by Chief Burch. He reported that in 1999, there were a total of 13,763 responses. 76% were EMS and the remaining 24% were fire. The data he presented was broken down by individual company or squad. He pointed out that the Vinton, Cave Spring, Fort Lewis and Hollins Fire and Rescue represent approximately 66% of the total calls for the County. The busiest station had 3,013 total responses and the slowest station had only 164. Chief Burch explained that the term "responses" is the number of times each fire and/or rescue station actually goes on call, and "no responses" occurwhen no unit from the dispatched company or squad actually goes on the call which can happen because of multiple calls, cancelled calls, staffing unavailable, or station dispatched to stand by but there is no actual vehicle response. He reported that 17% or 2,290 of the total dispatches were "no responses." He presented a report with various statistics for every fire and rescue department in the County. He advised that the staff was creating a Quality Assurance Team to analyze responses, no responses and reaction times on a quarterly basis. At the end of each year, the team will make a recommendation to the Chief that will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.

The proposed program would establish user fees for ambulance transportation service. A fee for basic life support (BLS) of $165.00 and a fee for advanced life support (ALS) service of $310.00 would be implemented along with a base fee for transport mileage. The proposed fee structure was determined by comparing other EMS agencies in Southwest Virginia that charge for comparable ambulance services. This would generate an estimated revenue of $641,515, which would be used to address equipment, staffing concerns and loss of revenue to volunteer rescue squads that can document declines in donations which effects operational readiness of the organization. Chief Burch explained that there's much that can be done to encourage community support far a new fee structure. He recommended using some or all of these methods to generate widespread support: (1) Involve the community in the process in a meaningful way; (2) Publicize Roanoke County's process and plans well, and take advantage of every opportunity to speak with the public about the program; (3) Inform the public why these fees are important; (4) Introduce fees with a substantial improvement in services. Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, and Church advised that they would not support charging fees unless or until the volunteers supported instituting the fee. Supervisor Nickens advised he would support the fee because of the need to find a new source of revenue for fire and rescue. He also requested a report on the areas of the County that are not properly staffed. Mr. Hodge advised that staff would meet with the volunteers and work out a plan over the next year to bring back to the Board of Supervisors. 5.

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 9, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Report on the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Budget for the Roanoke Valley Juvenile Detention Commission COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: Phase I construction at the Roanoke Valley Juvenile Detention Center is nearing completion and we plan to begin operation of the first 48 beds in June, 2000. Phase II construction will begin in July and be completed in the summer of 2001. The attached budget is presented to each of the participating member localities (Botetourt County, Franklin County, Roanoke County, City of Roanoke, and City of Salem) for informative purposes and budget preparation. The per diem cost to each locality is $118.41 per bed per day used. The member localities are guaranteed access to the 48 beds on the pro-rata share of the beds set out in the service agreement (Botetourt County - 1; Franklin County - 5 ; Roanoke County - 12 ; City of Roanoke - 24 ; City of Salem - 6) Member agencies or outside agencies may have access to any available bed for the per diem rate and a small amount of double- bunking may be used. Should utilization become less than 90% for an extended period of time, the Commission may have to alter the per diem rate to cover the cost. The per diem rate is established to cover the cost of our debt service, operating costs and capital replacement (depreciation after year 1) The localities are not being asked for capital contribution to offset our cost. Based on the guaranteed bed space (12) and the per diem rate ($118.41), Roanoke County has been asked to cover the potential cost of utilizing this number of beds in the budget of the Court Service Unit and the additional amount has been included in their budget request. There will be an increase in the following fiscal year request when the final beds (totaling 81) become available in the summer of 2001. ALTERNATIVES: For the past three years, Roanoke County has often had to send ~~ our youth that needed secure detention to facilities in Northern Virginia and elsewhere about the state as beds were available. Now we will be able to treat these residents locally, in a state of the art facility. We will also be able to use technology such as video-conferencing to reduce the transportation of these youth back and forth to the placing locality. This budget notification is in accordance with the service agreement approved by Roanoke County and the other four participating localities. FISCAL IMPACT: The increased funding for the placement of Roanoke County youth has been included in the budget request of the Court Service Unit for FY 2000-01 and no new appropriation is required for this report. RECOMMENDATIONS: This budget document is presented for budget planning purposes of the participating localities and no specific approval is required. Respectfully submitted, ~ , John 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 9, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Report Regarding the Safety of the Bent Mountain Branch Library COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: I am sympathetic to the wishes of communities to "look to the future "and plan for future growth. Bent Mountain is growing but not rapidly enough to justify this requested expansion. Requests such as this are evaluated with all others during the CIP process. We have determined that there are no safety problems. Furthermore, we can use the school gymnasium if necessary for special events. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: At the Apri125, 2000 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, a citizen observed that he felt there were "serious" hazards to life and safety at the Bent Mountain Branch of the public library system. The citizen's comments made particular reference to the conditions present during the library's storytime sessions for an average audience of eight to fourteen children. In response to these concerns, the Fire Marshal and the Office of Risk Management have reviewed conditions at the Bent Mountain library facility. The Fire Marshal determined that the maximum safe occupancy of the library is 50 individuals. Continuation of our regular storytimes should present no problems given this occupancy limit. Concerns regarding safe egress are adequately addressed by the presence of several routes of egress among the furnishings and book stacks, and by the relatively short distances to the exit from even the most remote points within the building. Additional review revealed that there may be some marginal concerns regarding the placement of furnishings near the entry area in the front of the building. A minor re-arrangement of furnishings and the elimination of one table have provided increased circulation and convenience in this area and should reduce any worries regarding safety. No major, imminent safety hazards were found in the Bent Mountain Branch Library's current scheme of fixtures and furnishings, nor in the current services provided within the library. Storytimes and other similar activities may continue to be held in this facility as long as total occupancy does not exceed 50 persons.

The highest ranked objectives, education, economic development, and regional efforts, have long been Board priorities. Seven teams involving County and School elected officials, staff, citizens, business leaders and representatives of other local goverrtments have been formed to address these priorities in an exciting, new way. Those seven teams are: • ' Educati©n ~ Workt©rce Development * ' Economic Development • Regionalism • Technology • Image' • 'Quality of Life Education and workforce development continue as the main community priorities. The proposed 2000-01 local contribution to Schools is $1,355,926 for operations and $1,500,000 for future operations of the new high school. This contribution represents 60% of available new local revenues. Additionally, $2,000,000 is allocated to fund debt service and construction costs for School capital projects. The accumulated reserved capital balance will now total $9,078,744. Funds totaling $96,800 are being allocated for construction costs at Virginia Western Community College. Roanoke Valley governments have traditionally supported VWCC construction projects on a pro-rata basis. Economic Development: Payment of $1,157,650 has been redirected to development of the Glen Mary site park. Water and sewer will be at the site and an access road will be completed by July, 2000. Negotiations are ongoing with several major prospects who have expressed an interest in establishing business enterprises in Roanoke County. Public/private partnerships are again funded at $250,000. The Economic Development Partnership and the Convention and Visitors' Bureau are each to receive $112,500 toward achieving economic development goals. Public Safety: To meet equipment needs, Fire and Rescue will lease/purchase two pumpers and two ladder trucks using $652,000 budgeted for vehicle replacement. Savings realized from reduced maintenance, multi-unit discounts, and engineering cost savings will fund the ambulance replacement program. The addition of six paramedic/firefighters allows for 12 hour per day staffing at all three urban stations. The County will also apply for state grants to fund five more School Resource Officers that will allow officer assignments at all County middle schools. Solid Waste: Current year tonnage increases require that $170,000 be added to the FY2000-01 budget to cover tipping fees. Six automated vehicles and one rear loader will be acquired through lease/purchase agreements which will result in substantial savings through reduced maintenance and down time. Annual lease payments will be covered with the e<Yisting $165;000 solid waste allocation for vehicle replacement. f'nnrr Car.riraa• Tho T?nrtinnol 11nfo..+;.,.. u...+.o ..~.+..~»....a .---.,... at,.. !'--__~~. i~ t_~_ _. .v_ _-__--._ ~ c_ _ ... *~ •' anticipated 00'£$ 00~£$ 00'£$ sloos pue tiautq~ey~ OS' £$ OS' £$ OS' £$ ,~liadozd leuosiad £i'I$ £i'i$ £i~i$ alelsglEag TO-000Z 00-666T 66-866T sa;ng xv,L r.

I am having some difficulty in dividing the issue per HCN's request. I could divide it into two parts: the text amendment and the maps. But then HCN could not vote on the Hanging Rock map changes. I do not want to divide it into 3 actions: text, map for Dixie Caverns interchange, and map for Hanging Rock interchange. Janet: do you see anything in the text amendments that would cause a conflict of interest problem for HCN? Subject: Re: ordinance > No, I think it was just continued to May 9. By copy of this to PMM - is that what you understood? We don't need to have another evening public hearing. In fact, there are several other PH's on 5/9. What do you think about 13 more colored maps??? It's hard to read them without the colors. We need to make sure there's an ordinance and HCN did want the ordinance divided into two components so that he could abstain from one of them. > Mary Allen > »> "Janet Scheid" <jscheid@co.roanoke.va.us> 04/26/00 10:17AM »> > I assume the I-81 stuff will go back to the Board at their May 23 > meeting.

Il existe des differences daps les systemes du governement et dans la loi. Mais, enfin, nous aeons les liens etroits qui nous rapprochent: nos traditions et notre histoire communes sont la pour le prouver.

It is important for us, and all of our citizens, to always fondly remember our friendships abroad. We must share the human experience so that all may benefit. There are differences in our communities and in our commerce. There exist differences in our governments and our laws. But we, our communities, have a firm bond that links us: our common history and tradition are there as proof.

The field study for this course in in the 19th century area of Virginia's Explore Park and abroad in France. The field work in Roanoke has taken place and the students will leave for France on 1 May 2000. The experiential aspects of fifteen days in a foreign country will give each travelers new insight and perspective of a different people and culture. The Humanities course is unique in that time and space are compressed. The Roanoke area student will be involved in many activities including visiting the town of Villersexel in Southeastern France. Through contacts in France, I was made aware of this town and its people. They have built a memorial to the "Roanoke Magician" and its crew. This flying fortress was named by its crew for their alma mater, Jefferson High School. The plane flew many missions, and was very successful in the months following the D-Day invasion in June, 1944. While on a flight over Germany, the Magician took extensive damage and lost three engines. The pilot stabilized the plane and flew just over enemy lines into France. The plane crash-landed in a field outside of Villersexel. The pilot perished but saved all eight crew members. On the 21st of May, 2000, the town is dedicating the memorial. I have arranged for this group of Roanoke students to visit the town on the following Saturday. The town has invited us for a festival. In recognition of the town, its people and their memory of our war-time effort, I would like to present a small token of appreciation on behalf of our local government.
