It is the culmination of Celebrate 2000, Roanoke County's yearlong series of events marking the new millennium. Expo will be a professionally designed trade show featuring exhibits by regional high-tech and cutting- edge businesses, the Virginia Tech Pavilion, and the E-View Reception. The main purpose of the event is to provide businesses with a venue where they can showcase their high-tech products and services of today and offer previews of future products. The show also provides an excellent opportunity for our citizens to experience the unique technologies made in our own community and to explore educational and career opportunities. Lastly, it provides government officials within the region an excellent economic development and networking opportunity. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The steering committee of this event has been working for over one year to produce this event and we are pleased to announce that the following companies have joined us in sponsoring Expo: Newschannel 10, Virginia Tech Ware Engineering Lab, American Electric Power, The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center, Roanoke City, and SunCom. To date, we have sold 44 booths and will fill the 8,000 sq. ft. annex with 13 engineering projects from the Virginia Tech Ware Lab. US Congressmen Rick Boucher and Bob Goodlatte will co-host the E-View Reception on October 27, 2000. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be William Stephenson, Dean of Virginia Tech's College of Engineering. Together, they will welcome the exhibitors to the valley and will officially open the Virginia Tech Pavilion and the show. This has been planned to be aself-supporting event. Assistant Recreation Director Debbie Pitts will provide the Board of Supervisors with an overview of the event, its current status, and introduce the steering committee members. ti 1 ~- i Respectfully submitted, Pete Haislip Director Approved Denied Received Referred To ACTION Motion by: Approved by, ~~ C,~~-;rte ~'~i~,~ ,~,~~ Elmer C.

ACTION NUMBER ITEM NUMBER ~' AT A REGULAR MEETING OF TjHE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 8, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing to quitclaim and release a drainage easement recorded in Deed Book 1116, Page 449 and Plat Book 9, Page 158, and to quitclaim and release a 20-foot sanitary sewer easement recorded in De d Book 1060, Page 824 within the boundaries of Cynthia Drive nd Spring Meadow Drive of Nottingham Park and located in Wind or Hills Magisterial District. ~~~ c' t~ him Nn ~~ ~~~.-d ~~ ~~ FXEGUTIVE SUMMARY: ', This is the first reading of the proposed ordinance to authorize to quitclaim and release a drainage easement (Deed Book 1116, Page 449 and Plat Book 9, Page 158) and to quitclaim and rel ase a 20-foot sanitary sewer easement (Deed Book 1060, Page 824) within the b undaries of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive of Nottingham Park. In April of 1979, F & B Devel pers, Inc., obtained a drainage easement from Ezera E. Wertz and Elsie C. Wertz ~s recorded in the Clerk's office of the Circuit Court of Roanoke County, Virginia, in ~eed Book 1116, Page 449, to convey runoff from the proposed Section 2 of Lakeli~nd Farms to the natural watercourse. In February of 1980, F & B Developers, Inc., dedicated the drainage easement to the County of Roanoke by (subdivision plat of Lakeland Farms, Section 2, as recorded in the Clerk's offic~ of the Circuit Court of Roanoke County, Virginia, in Plat Book 9, Page 158. 1 FI In March of 1977, Roanoke County Public Service Authority obtained from Ezera E. Wertz and Elsie C. Wertz a 20' Sanitary Sewer Easement as recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Roanoke County, Virginia, in Deed Book 1060, Page 824, for the purpose of installation, repair and maintenance of a sewer system, designated as "Interceptor for Nottingham Hills to Castle Rock West, Section 1." In order for the portion of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive to be accepted into the state secondary road system, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) requires that the right-of-way be free and clear of any third party rights or encumbrances. The quitclaim and release of the subject portion of the sanitary sewer easement and drainage easement to the Commonwealth of Virginia would be subject to VDOT issuing a permit for such facilities and the condition that the facilities located within the 50-foot right-of-way of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive, may continue to occupy the streets in the existing condition and location. The release would be for as long as the subject section of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive is used as part of the public street or highway system; however, said easements would not be vacated by the Board and would revert to the county in the event of abandonment of the street or highway. The Utility Department agrees with this request. (1) Adopt the proposed ordinance authorizing the County Administrator to execute the necessary documents to quitclaim and release the drainage easement and to quitclaim and release the sanitary sewer easement within the boundaries of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive of Nottingham Park. (2) Decline to adopt the proposed ordinance, which would result in the portion of Cynthia Drive and Spring Meadow Drive remaining a private road. Roanoke County staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed ordinance as provided in Alternative 1. APPROVED BY: Elmer C.

SUNIMARY OF INFORMATION: The Hanging Rock Battlefield and Railroad Preservation Foundation has approached Roanoke County and the City of Salem about donating the portions of the trail located in their respective jurisdictions to the governments. They feel this donation would help provide consistent maintenance and operations of the trails and would be a better fit into the trail networks of each jurisdiction, particularly as more trails are being brought on line by the governments. Acceptance of the donation was discussed at the joint meeting with the Salem City Council on July 24, 2000 and staffwas directed to bring back an ordinance for first and second reading in August. FISCAL IMPACT: $1,800 per year if voluntary support continued. $3,000 if no volunteer support was provided. Staff feels that volunteer support is available. ALTERNATIVES: ~~~ Alternative 1: Adopt the ordinance accepting the donation as presented and appropriate $1,800 for maintenance from the General Fund Unappropriated Balance. Alternative 2: Adopt the ordinance accepting the donation and absorb the $1,800 maintenance costs in the current Parks and Recreation budget. Alternative 3: Not accept the donation.

ITEM NUMBER - ~ AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 8, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: First Reading of an Ordinance Authorizing the Purchase of approximately 2.8 acres from Barbara and Billy Guthrie for the new South County Park. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: /l~C_t.ln~rnc/ Cc~~Oruvc/~ 4~a~ /2c~~~~o.-, j,..~ [tJG'- c% ~~-'c-_r C?n~~ /~I'v~JE'r~~1, BACKGROUND: As part of the development of the South County Park, parks and recreation staff had identified adjacent privately owned properties that could accommodate additional facility development as well as allow for the re-location of the south county maintenance shop, currently located at Penn Forest Elementary School. The shop has to be re-located because the existing location, in a high traffic area and unprotected site, has resulted in a significant amount of vehicular vandalism. We now park our major equipment at the Brambleton Center, which reduces our productivity. The Guthrie parcel (Attachment A), consisting of approximately 2.8 acres, is strategically located between Starkey and the new South County Park, and could easily accommodate an additional ballfield(s), parking, and/or provide space needed for the South County maintenance shop. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: This past winter staff initiated negotiations with the Guthrie family in regard to the purchase of this parcel. The County and Guthrie family agreed to the following terms: 1. Roanoke County will pay $48,000 for the parcel, paying three payments of $16,000, the $2,500 deposit to be considered part of the first payment, over the next two years. Roanoke County will pay 7.5% A.P.R. interest on the balance owed. Payments will be made no later than September 15 of each subsequent year. 2. Roanoke County will provide a tree buffer on the boundary line of the park and the new Guthrie property line. F3 3. Roanoke County will pay all survey and recording fees etc. in regard to this transaction. The attached ordinance authorizes the acquisition of the subject property subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the property is $48,000 with an additional $3,600 of interest, with future payments spread over two years. Trees are an estimated $1,000. Additional funds will be required to develop and maintain any future facilities added to this site. Those costs will be determined by the scope of construction. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize purchase of this property subject to the terms outlined, appropriate $19,000 to cover the first year payment, survey and recording fees, and costs to purchase the trees from the year end fund balance of Parks and Recreation, and approve first reading of the attached ordinance. 2. Do not approve the purchase of this property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative 1, authorizing the purchase of the property, appropriating the funds from the year end fund balance of Parks and Recreation, and approval of the first reading of the attached ordinance.

ITEM NUMBER ~ - AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMII~TISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 8, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance authorizing a boundary adjustment and land exchange with Marjorie and Jeffrey Craighead and David Kidd in connection with South County Park COUNTY ADMII~TISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: /l C~ t. c Q~ BACKGROUND As Roanoke County began to design and develop the South County Park, it became apparent that the park boundary on the border with the Craighead family was located in such a place as to create potential management and operational problems. The survey showed that the Craighead family actually owned the land on the Roanoke County side of Back Creek, with the boundary line following the top of the creek bank along the entire park border. Ms. Craighead had expressed her concerns about park users accessing the creek from the park side, creating potential liability, vandalism, and trespassing issues. Roanoke County also needs to install drainage structures across her property line to allow for proper drainage of the park site. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Staff met with Ms. Craighead to discuss her concerns and the various options available for resolving them. She indicated that she would be willing to exchange property giving Roanoke County ownership of the entire creek bed for adjoining property Roanoke County owned on her side of the creek, across from the Merriman Soccer Complex. She also requested, for added protection, that Roanoke County provide fencing material, which she will install on her side of the creek, and asked that we convey a small parcel of property to her father, Mr. David Kidd so he could own the access to his property. From an operation and programming perspective, owning the creek bed provides numerous programming options and opens up numerous grant-funding opportunities for future park improvements. It will also allow us to complete the site drainage as planned. The provision of fencing material will address Ms. Craighead's trespassing and .. G-~ vandalism concerns. We feel the addition of this fence will be positive for both parties, as it provides an extra barrier of control and protection. Mrs. Craighead also asked the County to convey a small piece of Roanoke county property adjacent to Starkey Park property to her father, Mr. David Kidd. This will have no impact on Starkey Park. We feel this agreement is a proactive step in solving problems before they occur. Consequently, staff supports the following actions: 1. A boundary adjustment/land exchange be executed between the Craighead family and Roanoke County, giving Roanoke County ownership of the entire creek bed adjacent to the park, in exchange for land Roanoke County owns, across Back Creek from the Merriman Soccer Complex, which adjoins her property; (attachment A) 2. That Roanoke County purchases for the Craigheads, 150 fence posts and 1200 feet of fencing, which they will install on her side of the creek. 3. Roanoke County will convey a parcel of property to Mr. David Kidd, that he currently uses by county easement, to access his property adjacent to Starkey Park. (Attachment B) FISCAL IMPACT: $3,000 for fencing material, which will come from park maintenance funds. ALTERNATIVES Alternative 1: Adopt the attached ordinance to exchange property between Roanoke County and Marjorie and Jeffrey Craighead as identified in Exhibit A, convey property to Mr. David Kidd as identified in Exhibit B, and authorize staff to purchase and provide fencing material to Marjorie K. Craighead. Alternative 2: Take no action, which would require Roanoke County to obtain drainage easements from the Craighead family. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative 1.

ITEM NO. /~~"S AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 8, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Report of Corner Lot Setbacks; Parking of Recreational Vehicles in Front Yards COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: BACKGROUND: Roanoke County has historically prohibited the parking or storage of trailers and recreational vehicles in the front yard of residential properties. Prior to 1992 this prohibition extended to corner lots. Property owners on corner lots could not store their recreational vehicles in either yard that faced a public street. The 1992 zoning ordinance contained new definitions of front yard and front building line. The net effect of this definition change was to continue to prohibit recreational vehicles in the front yards of corner lots, but to allow then to be stored in the "side yard" of the house, even though the "side yard" was facing a public street. This was an unintended change. Between 1992 and 1998 the zoning ordinance allowed the parking of recreational vehicles in the side yards of corner lots. When periodic complaints were received, staff advised citizens that the zoning ordinance did not prohibit such vehicles from parking in the side yard of corner lots. Citizens generally did not agree with this inequity, as vehicles parked along the street side of corner lots had the same visual impact on the community. In 1997 several complaints were received about vehicles on corner lots. In one situation in Bonsack, the vehicle was being used as an extension of the property owners' outdoor living space and was used on a frequent basis as a base for cookouts, parties, and football game celebrations. Representatives of the area m_~ 2 Homeowner's Association requested that the staff present an amendment to the Commission prohibiting such parking. In 1998, the staff proposed, and the Commission agreed, that language should be added to the zoning ordinance to specify that on corner lots, both sides facing the street are considered "front yards" and thus unavailable for the storage of recreational vehicles. This amendment was included in a package of zoning ordinance amendments adopted by the Board in April 1999. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Staff receives hundreds of complaints each year regarding the parking of recreational vehicles in front yards. Only a very small number of these complaints pertain to vehicles on corner lots. We estimate less than ten violations per year involve vehicles on corner lots. The vast majority of all complaints are resolved administratively with the staff requesting that the property owner store the vehicles behind the front(s) of the house in a side or rear yard. Property owners generally comply with our administrative requests, and no other action is required. Variances are an option for owners who have a site hardship, and cannot get their vehicles into a side or rear yard due to topography, or building locations. At a May worksession, the Planning Commission briefly discussed the issue of modifying the ordinance to once again allow recreational vehicles to be parked on the public street side of corner lots. The general consensus of the Commission was that the current ordinance was the most equitable as it prohibited parking in all "front yards", and thus achieved the zoning objective of reducing the visual impact of storing these vehicles near a public street. The Commission recognized that this was a minor land use issue affecting few property owners each year. Staff commented and agreed with the Commission that because of the lack of significant land use impacts the issue is one of equity. If so directed by the Board, the public hearing to amend the ordinance parking of vehicles in the front yards the Commission's discussions to date, Commission may likely be to deny this STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends as follows: Commission will arrange a to once again allow the on corner lots. Based upon the recommendation of the amendment. 1. That the Board receive this report, and advise the staff and Commission on whether or not the Board wishes a public hearing to be held on an amendment to allow the parking of ~~~ 3 recreational vehicles in the street-side side yards of corner lots in residential areas.

S J . d rl Beginning in early 1999, staff undertook a comprehensive study of the Colonial Avenue Corridor at the request of the Board of Supervisors. As mapped, the corridor encompasses some 9831and parcels on 1,098 acres. Detailed analyses of existing land use and zoning, property valuation and housing, public water and sewer, drainage, transportation and community participation were compiled into the Draft Colonial Avenue Corridor Study completed in December 1999 (attached). At the Planning Commission's direction, staff then developed a range of special corridor design guidelines (attached) under a mixed use concept of existing residential and well-designed, carefully located commercial projects recognizing neighborhood sensitivity. These design guidelines, recommending preservation of the overall residential character of the corridor through appropriate site layout (particularly parking and street access), architectural treatment, landscaping, lighting, and signage relative to all development or redevelopment proposals were approved by the Planning Commission on July 5, 2000. Also at that time, the Commission reviewed and approved proposed revisions to the future land use map appearing in the draft 1999 study (attached and titled "Alternative II Proposed Future Land Use") including additional Transition designated properties along the north side of Colonial Avenue. A summary description of Proposed Future Land Use Alternative II is also attached. D-/ 2 Staff recommends as follows: Hold a joint worksession with the Roanoke County Plarming Commission.

Until the mid-1960's, the only businesses along Roanoke County's 2.2 mile stretch of Colonial Avenue were Corner's Store - a general store/gas station at the corner of Colonial and Thompsons Lane and Lester's Garage at the ColoniaUBrambleton Avenue intersection. By the mid-to-late 60's, Corner's Store had become a Shell service station and a new 7-Eleven convenience store was built adjacent to the service station. Also, by this time nearly all single family homes actually fronting on Colonial Avenue had been constructed. At the corridor's western tip, aMick-or-Mack grocery was developed circa 1970. The construction of four-lane VA 419 in the early 1970's ended a large farm operation and created a major highway intersection unlike anything corridor residents had known. During the 1970's, the first residence-to-office conversion occurred at the 419 intersection, the Colonial Green Office Park was developed and dentists offices were built adjacent to the 7-Eleven. One or two residence-to-office conversions occurred just east of the Mick-or-Mack store, also in the 70's. In 1983-1984, the corridor's first shopping center ,Promenade Park, was constructed southeast of Colonial Avenue and 419 -partly as a result of traffic on Electric Road at the time. Other than the emergence of Harris Teeter at the previous Mick-or-Mack site, new commercial activities had not occurred in the corridor for approximately 15 years until the HarrelUPaychecks Plus redevelopment project began in early 1999. During the County's visioning process, citizens identified five key themes from which to help mold the future. Those themes are regionalism, sustainability, scenic beauty and two others of great significance to neighborhoods -community identity and quality of life. Quoting the newly adopted Community Plan, "Roanoke County citizens identify very closely with their neighborhoods and school districts. Efforts must be made to preserve the elements of community identity that provide gathering places for the exchange of information and support. The citizens 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." Recent increases in traffic and accompanying development pressure have brought uncertainty to Colonial Avenue and its predominantly residential character. This study will provide a framework for protecting existing land uses from the disruptive impacts of change wherever possible and for avoiding development or conversion/redevelopment having a significantly different density, size, height or scale. The study area encompasses only land lying within County boundaries although plans addressing Roanoke City's portion of Colonial Avenue will be explored. The study's 2.2 mile length begins at the ColoniaUBrambleton Avenue intersection, travels northeast through mostly developed single family residential neighborhoods to the Route 419 intersection and continues eastward through single and multi-family residential areas until reaching the city limits 0.4 mile northeast of Ogden Road. 1 t II PURPOSES Land use, transportation, environmental quality, neighborhood issues and site plamm~g/urban design have been identified as the most important elements influencing the future of the Colonial Avenue corridor. Purposes of the corridor study are determined by analyzing existing conditions related to each of these elements and combimng these analyses with the concerns of local officials and citizens. These purposes serve as a guide for future conservation, development, or redevelopment in the corridor. Land Use - Preserve established residential neighborhoods and protect them from encroachment by conflicting land uses while allowing properly designed infill development. -Require that all development or redevelopment preserves or creates open space. - Apply Community Plan design guidelines to all development or redevelopment. - Discourage development where public service expenses exceed revenue generated. Transportation - Maintain a safe and efficient flow of traffic throughout the corridor. -Establish desired traffic patterns, parking connectivity and design standards for buildings and landscaping at those sites where development or redevelopment may be appropriate; limit access points to ensure safety and facilitate movement. 1 -Ensure that road improvements are sensitive to existing land use/environmental conditions and that such improvements occur with maximum citizen input. - Provide for alternative modes of transportation around neighborhoods such as walking and bicycling including greenway/bikeway construction. - Explore the feasibility of expanding transit service through the Colonial corridor. Environmental Quality - Identify natural areas that limit development (such as floodplains, steep slopes and mature woodlands) and maintain them as conservation areas. -Preserve all remaining natural scenic features. - Properly manage stormwater runoff, especially on frontage properties. 1 Neighborhood Issues - Protect the uniqueness and special characteristics of the Colonial Avenue comdor - Preserve the high quality of life, sense of place, and authenticity residents of the corridor enjoy by maintaining the institutions and natural, cultural and historic features that define this community. Site Planning/Urban Design - Increase the compatibility of conflicting land uses through effective screening and buffering and building orientation/architectural scale where possible. - Maintain and enhance the visual quality of development and redevelopment. III ANALYSIS CORRIDOR BORDERS After a thorough review of available mapping, Community Development staff selected topography and the local street network closely linked to Colonial Avenue as the two most important factors influencing boundary determinations for this study. In this respect, staff delineated a small study area focusing unilaterally on Colonial Avenue, an arterial highway in its own right, and attempted to de-emphasize its connections to U.S. 221 and VA 419. In the vast majority of cases, parcels lying within corridor boundaries intersect Colonial Avenue (VA 720) directly or are connected to it by an exclusive network of subdivision or "local" streets. Topographically, much of the study area's northern limit coincides with natural ridgelines which parallel Colonial Avenue to a depth of 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet from the road. The corridor's southern boundary generally follows Murray Run east of VA 419 and natural ridgelines and Belie Meade Drive (which parallels Colonial Avenue) at depths varying from 700 feet to 2,200 feet. Western study limits are formed by Brambleton Avenue (U.S. 221) and the eastern border coincides with Roanoke City Limits at Ogden Hills. Property and aerial mapping depicted on the next two pages indicate corridor boundaries and provide a birdseye view of the nearly 1,000 parcels of land comprising the Colonial Avenue Corridor. EXISTING LAND USE Among the variety of uses for land within the corridor are single and multi-family residential (including condominiums), institutional (both public and private), office and retail commercial and open or undeveloped. Single family residential is the dominant use except at intersections with U.S. 221, Route 419 and Ogden Road where retail business, office and retail commercial and multi-family residential are the controlling uses, respectively. Of the 983 total parcels of land within the corridor, 118 front on Colonial Avenue including 16 commercial, 6 institutional, 3multi-family residential, 85 single family residential and 8 undeveloped. Although institutional and multi-family residential make up only 9 of the 118 total frontage parcels, they account for a disproportionately high 147 acres of the approximately 1,098 acres which comprise the entire study area. From a commercial standpoint, a key location is the ColoniaUThompsons Lane intersection where a recent residence-to-office conversion was a catalyst for this study. The potential for more such conversions, especially of older single family structures, ' coupled with long-term rising property values increases the likelihood of new frontage commercial activity.

These values are markedly higher for commercial and multi-family residential areas. A possible future trend may involve higher values around major intersections currently zoned single family residential where accessibility and high visibility to traffic could raise the commercial demand for these parcels. The total assessed value (1999) of all Colonial Avenue frontage properties is ' $37,899,100. Of this amount, developed office and general commercial values equal $9,686,300 and institutional land and buildings make up $12,690,600 (predominantly North Cross School, Colonial Avenue Baptist Church and Colonial Presbyterian Church). Residential values account for $15,522,200 of the total figure.

Approximately 82% of all houses in the study area are at least 20 years old. Nearly 60% of all homes in the corridor were built in the 1950's or 1960's. Only approximately 7% of all units have been constructed since l 980. A large majority of homeowners in the study area are relative newcomers (1 - 5 years) or have owned their houses for more than 20 years (an estimated total of 609 units out of 983 corridorwide). Clearly, there is a large recent influx of new homeowners into older dwellings in addition to the long-time residents of the area. This is most evident on subdivision lots not directly abutting Colonial Avenue, although frontage houses continue to be purchased by new owners for residential purposes. Over 300 houses in the corridor have been owned/occupied for 5 years or less by their current owners.

Private wells or septic systems make up only a very small percentage of utility services supplied and only in situations involving older buildings. Public water line improvements are planned and/or underway in the Eton Hill and Castle Hills subdivisions. Most existing water lines are adequate for domestic flow (everyday residential use) although some pipelines cannot provide the flow of water needed for fire protection. Upgrades have not been made to some residential areas since the 1960's. Water line sizes are generally less than 6 inches in diameter in subdivisions. L Portions of the corridor's sanitary sewer system experience wet-weather capacity problems due to infiltration. This intrusion of stormwater runoff into the sewer is normally introduced by pipeline cracks, illegal connections and leaky manhole covers. Sewer line diameters range from 8 to 12 inches throughout the study area. Maps on the following pages depict existing utility service areas in the corridor. STORMWATER/DRAINA E G Several localized portions of the study area suffer from drainage problems. Among the affected locations are : 1) the Manassas Drive/Colonial Avenue intersection; 2) the northeast corner of the Lanewood Drive/Colonial intersection; 3) Girard Drive near the zero lot line residential development under construction; and 4) a malfunctioning stormwater facility at Cave Spring Methodist Church. The Community Development Department's drainage maintenance program evaluates possible improvement projects based generally on potential for property damage with ~, those sites most likely to receive the most damage receiving a higher priority than minor nuisances. In the past few years, channel stabilization and repair have been performed in Green Valleys, adequate storm sewer and channel construction was achieved in Eton Hill, storm sewer improvements occurred on Poplar Drive and smaller drainage improvement projects were completed in the Belle Meade area, off Hazel Drive and between View Avenue and Iredell Avenue. Manassas Drive is scheduled for additional improvements. A topographic and drainage improvement map of the corridor follows the utility maps referenced above. 18 '~~ e~~ ' ~" " M.~S~J~(t4 ~ %'. - l rt~ t.;'~t., ~cJ !~•r . ~1~ • \~ ,~ ~ ~Q~ \ i , ~~1 ~ It ~ c'._ ~- _71"• ~-~ y ~ ~ ~ •s •. •~ ~~j. ~ t, ~~~F-!s_~o ,yj~3r'rr~^'~ r • • ~..~'r • i~ ~ ~ ~ I~1 ~ ' ~ ~ rt V ~ ~ ~~ ~ x ~ F~ ar`t' VA %'~~' ~• ~ •%a ~ - ~.t:j A.,~- .i '~t,7 ~~~~ • I a,t r *-- r S FF ~. { .K' i' ~.aC-h ~ / ~' ~ 4 -1 '~ 1 ~~ ` ~ E~ • 4` • R ~ ; ~ `•~\ ~.. ~--"""' ~,~'. ~! -''7~-r r a alyr.raa~ r ~' ~ • ~ ~~ \ti ~ n~'V • ~•: 'a a ~ jk; \ ~~.\~•""^..

As commercial activity increases, the importance of preserving established neighborhoods and protecting them from conflicting land use encroachment becomes more crucial. Compatibility can be improved upon, if not achieved, through appropriate use of building orientation and location, landscaping, signage, lighting, and parking concepts. Staff recommends the following site design guidelines -particularly on Colonial Avenue frontage properties - for development or redevelopment of parcels in the corridor: Site Plan - Where feasible, businesses should attempt to share existing and future access points from the street right-of--way. - Site design should make a positive contribution to the streetscape and insure buffering from adjacent less intensive land uses. - Existing healthy vegetation should be preserved and incorporated into the plan. - Limit grading along adjacent property lines and where appropriate, preserve - for screening purposes. Building Orientation and Setback - Buildings should be prominent from street view, using architecture as a means of business advertisement. - Setbacks should be determined according to ultimate road right-of--way. Building Scale - Size of buildings should approach a residential scale. - If larger buildings are required, landscaping and architectural facades should be Used to lessen their impact. Parking Areas - Locate parking to the rear and sides of buildings. Street frontage should be devoted to building architecture and landscaping. - Landscape the perimeters and interiors of parking areas. Separate rows of spaces with planting islands. Large canopied trees placed among parking stalls will Reduce the heat island effect.

It provides a direct (radial) link from Brandon Avenue near the inner city of Roanoke to Route 419 (Electric Road.} and Route 221 (Brambleton Avenue) in the outlying suburbs of Roanoke County. By providing this link between the inner city and developing suburbs the primary function of Colonial Avenue is to provide relatively uninterrupted through travel. For the purpose of this analysis the Colonial Avenue will be split into two sections: 1) from Route 221 to Route 419 and 2) from Route 419 to Route 681. Route 221 (Brambleton Avenue) to Route 419 (Electric Road) Physical Characteristics and Land Use The entire length of this section of Colonial Avenue is characterized by two-10 foot travel lanes, no sidewalks or bicycle facilities, and one foot or less earthen shoulders. Separate turn lanes do exist at its intersection with Route 221 and Route 419. All intersections are unsignalized except for the ones at Route 221 and Route 419. This section of Colonial Avenue is categorized as a Minor Arterial. Typically, Minor Arterials The predominate land use along this section is residential and institutional (private school), with one area of commercial development at the intersection of Route 221. The spacing between residential driveways that access Colonial Avenue directly range in spacing from 60 feet to several hundred feet. The portion of the roadway with the most access points is the 0.25 mile segment from Route 687 (Penn Forest Boulevard) to Route 1521 (Girard Drive) - 10 residential access points. Traffic Volumes such as Colonial Avenue serve less concentrated traffic-generating areas such as residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools than do Major Arterials. This section of Colonial Avenue connects with two Major Arterials, Route 419 and Route 221; each of these roadways has much higher concentrations of commercial development than does Colonial Avenue. As shown in Appendix A (Figure A-1), the primary function of Colonial Avenue should be the safe movement of through traffic with a secondary function of access to residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools. Typically, arterial roadways offer little or no direct access /driveway access) to residential development. Colonial Avenue, however is somewhat unique in that is does offer direct access to residents. The most readily available and thorough traffc count data available for this section of Colonial Avenue is tl7e Secondary Traffic Tabulations taken by the Virginia Department of Transportation. This data was available for seven of the nineteen years since 1980; see Table 1 below. The importance of this data is that it documents how traffic has grown along this section of the roadway. 28 Route 419 (Electric Road) to Route 681 (Odgers Road) Physical Characteristics and Land Use The entire length of this section of Colonial Avenue is characterized by two-10 foot travel lanes, no sidewalks or bicycle facilities, and. one foot or less earthen shoulders. Separate turn lanes do exist at its intersection with Route 419 and Route 681. All intersections are unsignalized except for the ones at Route 419 and Route 681. This section of Colonial Avenue is categorized as a Minor Arterial. Typically, Minor Arterials such as Colonial Avenue serve less concentrated traffic-generating areas such as residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools than do Major Arterials. This section of Colonial Avenue connects with one Major Arterial, Route 419 that has much higher concentration of commercial development than does Colonial Avenue. As shown in Appendix A (Figure A-1), the primary function of Colonial Avenue should be the safe movement of through traffic with a secondary function of access to residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools. Typically, arterial roadways offer little or no direct access (driveway access) to residential development. Colonial Avenue, however is somewhat unique in that is does offer direct access to residents. The predominate land use along this section is residential, with two areas of commercial development at the intersection of Route 419 and near the intersection of Route 1632 (Thompsons Lane). Most of the residential development along the corridor gains access to Colonial Avenue through intersecting local roads. There are, however, several residential driveways that access C©lonial Avenue directly. These driveways range in spacing from 40 feet i to several hundred feet. The portion of the roadway with the most access points is the 0.19 mile segment from Route 1632 (Thompsons Lane) to Route 1604 (Poplar Drive) - 14 residential and 3 ,~ business access points. Traffic Volumes The most readily available and thorough traffic count data available for this section of Colonial Avenue is the Seco~zdary Traffic Tabulations taken by the Virginia Department of Transportation. This data was available for seven of the nineteen years since 1980; see Table 4 below. The importance of this data is that it documents how traffic has grown along this section of the roadway. From 1980 to 1997 the average daily traffic (AI3T) for this section has increased anywhere from 11 % to 72%, depending on the segment. This represents a 1-4% growth rate per year. As shown in Table 4, the growth in Average Daily Traffac since 1980 has been low to moderate for this section. !1 r 31 t I 1 Table 3: Average Daily Traffic Counts for Colonial Avenue (Route (~~1 to Route 419) Year Count Taken From To Length 1980 1982 1984 1986 1992 1994 1997 Change Route 419 Route 682 0.04 8144 8207 9196 9313 12677 11955 14000 71.91 (Electric Road) (Manassas Dr) Route 682 Route 1625 0.12 8041 8123 8762 $851 12677 10200 10000 24.36 (Manassas Dr) (Green Valley Dr) Route 1625 Route 1632 0.06 7640 7714 8448 8525 12677 12367 9900 29.58 (Green Valley (Thompsons La) Dr) Route 1632 Route 1604 0.19 7692 7761 8388 8444 12677 12367 9900 28.71 (Thompsons La) (Poplar Dr) Route 1604 Route 1655 0.16 8217 8304 8664 8763 12677 12763 11000 33.87 (Poplar Dr) (Overdale Rd) Route 1655 Route 1626 0.12 8520 8614 9038 9159 12677 11198 9900 16.20 (Overdale Rd) (Georgetown Rd) Route 1626 Route 681 0.23 8927 9041 9557 9707 12677 11198 9900 10.90 (Georgetown Rd) (Odgers Rd) Source: Virginia Department of Transportation (Traffic Engineering Division) -Secondary Traffic Tabulation In an effort to estimate travel demand as basis for determining the needed transportation supply in the year 2010, projections were made by linearly projecting historic ADT. This method bases projections on past trends and does not consider expected future changes in socio-economic characteristics or physical changes to the roadway. 1 According to the information provided in Table 4, the ADT along this section of Colonial Avenue should continue to increase anywhere from 27-60%, depending on the segment. This represents a 2-4% growth rate per year. During this time period, traffic on the surrounding road system should also grow at a similar rate.

Accident Data The only accident data that has been obtained is from the Virginia Department of Transportations Intersection Critical Rate Report for the Roanoke Valley Area. This report provides accident information for intersections that experience five or more accidents per year. This data was obtained for the most recent year, 1998. In this section of Colonial Avenue two intersections experienced enough accidents to be included in VDOT's report. These intersections, at Route 419 (Electric Road) and at Route 682 (Manassas Drive) are located only 0.04 mile apart. A total of eight accidents occurred at the Route 419 intersection in 1998. Of these eight accidents only one included personal injury, while seven included personal property damage. A total of seven accidents occurred at the Route 682 intersection in 1998. Of these seven accidents none included personal injury, while all seven included personal property damage. Inclusion in Existing Plans 1. Virginia Department of Transportation Secondary System Construction Program (FY 2000) • Route 720 -Route 419 to Route 681 -reconstruct, initial study to determine design options. See Appendix B for excerpt from Secondary System Construction Program (FY 2000) 2. Roanoke Valley Area Long Range Plan (1994) • Route 419 to Roanoke City Limits -recommends widening to four-lanes. 33 1 1 CURRENT ISSUES ALONG COLONIAL AVENUE • A recent rezoning request that was approved could lead to similar requests in the future. The approval of the request allowed the zoning to be changed from residential to commercial. 1 This occurred along a segment of Colonial Avenue where several small commercial developments currently exist. • There is a significant amount of undeveloped land and land that could easily be redeveloped along the corridor. • Traffic volumes have steadily increased over the past 20 years. Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes have increase anywhere from 11% to 195%; with most segments experiencing increases above 70% during this period. This trend indicates that ADT volumes will continue to increase in the future. • The increase in traffic volumes has created more conflicts at intersections and driveways. The current situation along certain segments of Colonial Avenue is that there are too many poorly spaced accesses that, in conjunction with increased ADT volumes are increasingly rendering the facility incapable of effectively serving its traffic-carrying function. t 1 1 1 t ~! 34 f t How to address these issues Access Management Traditionally, the goal of access management has been to provide adequate access to land development while simultaneously preserving the flow of traffic on the surrounding road system in terms of safety, capacity and speed. However, it has become increasingly apparent that the planning and design of both roadways and neighboring land uses must be coordinated not only to simultaneously preserve the functional integrity of the highway system while allowing efficient access to and from abutting properties, but also to serve the desired land use objectives of local communities. Access management is but one tool for managing transportation in a corridor. Other management strategies include improving transit service, reducing travel demands and making better use of street space (e.g. removing parking). The Need fo~• Access Maf~agement Road systems serve two necessary, but often conflicting, functions: traffic movement and access to land. Arterial roadways should primarily serve longer distance through-traffic, while local streets should primarily provide direct access to land. Collector streets serve both functions to varying degrees. As cities ex and, increased development along arterial highways generates more and more p demand for driveways and intersecting local roads to serve abutting and nearby businesses, industries and neighborhoods. Without access planning and management, arterials become increasingly congested and safety is-compromised. Planning the number of and controlling the location of access points helps to ensure both the safe and efficient flow of traffic and improved ' service to adjacent lands. The functional integrity of the arterial is maintained and major capacity improvements are often not needed or can be delayed until a later date. At the same time, bicycle and pedestrian travel is made safer due to fewer sites for potential conflicts with vehicles turning into and out of intersecting driveways. In the older, developed portions of urban areas, access management is only possible on an ad hoc basis, with consolidation or removal of existing access being sought in conjunction with roadway reconstruction or urban redevelopment projects. It is primarily on the urban fringes that it is possible to coordinate transportation system improvements with land development to avoid ' creating situations where too much poorly spaced access renders a facility incapable of effectively serving its traffic-carrying function. When access management and land use planning are coordinated, it is possible to ensure that when properties are developed, site designs are compatible with efficient movement of traffic onto and off of public roadways and, at the same time, are conducive to pedestrian movements, bicycle traffic and transit usage. 1 35 Proper access management, particularly with regard to spacing and type of access, can also be used as a tool, in conjunction with proper zoning, to help shape development patterns in a manner consistent with local community plans and desires. Improving Transit Service Currently, there is no fixed route transit that serves Roanoke County, including Colonial Avenue. Roanoke County's recently updated Comprehensive Plan does however call for transit service to be established in the County by the year 2010. Before service is established a study will need to be developed to determine the best locations for routing such a service. f] 1 Ll 1 1 1 36 COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Colomal Avenue Corndor landowners have provided Roanoke County with valuable input for this study. Over 900 property owners were sent a detailed questionnaire requesting their opinions, reactions and concerns for the study area. In addition to the approximately 190 surveys returned, citizens were invited to a community meeting to express themselves on a range of issues critical to the future of the area. 116 citizens attended the meeting. Headline topics included land use, transportation, neighborhood/qualrty of hfe, the environment, and site design. Summanes of comments follow: Land Use - Attendees were concerned that residential property values will decrease with Colonial Avenue road improvements. Some residents want new commercial rezonings limited to C-1 and no "spot zoning". Others want to keep the existing land use pattern and community plan designation. Transportation - Citizens expressed their desires for sight distance improvements at the Poplar Drive, Georgetown Road and Penn Forest Boulevard intersections with Colonial Avenue. Most were not in favor of any widening of Colonial between VA 419 and Ogden Road. Residents want Roanoke County to keep them up to date on whatever plans VDOT generates regarding road widening. ' Neighborhood/Quality of Life - Attendees want the residential character of the corridor to remain. They would like to see Brambleton Avenue improvements take precedent over more vehicular use of Colonial. Additional traffic signals and stop signs are needed as are sidewalks and bike lanes. Environment - Citizens were most concerned with drainage problems in the study area (see previous Stormwater discussion). Residence-to-business conversions have adjacent homeowners worried. Greenways are desired and the few remaining wooded or otherwise natural ' areas should be preserved. Site Design - Attendees want better enforcement of conditions regarding rezonings and special use permits where design is involved. Landscaping and existing vegetation are important to residents in the study area. Citizens also want lighting and drainage situations resolved. t 37 ii Questionnaire.

A range of alternative future land use plans and maps were reviewed by the Commission. At this stage, the selection of a combination of mixed residential and commercial uses has been made for in-depth work according to framework language which appears below as 1 "Alternative III - Mixed Use ResidentiaUCommercial". A proposed Future Land Use map is also included. t i r 1 55 t FUTURE LAND USE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE COLONIAL AVENUE CORRIDOR I. Existing Pattern +~ This option would consist ofi maintaining the residential character of the corridor. Although there are a few scattered businesses, and some higher concentrations along the intersections with major thoroughfares, the focus on the corridor would be the existing predominantly residential character. Protection of historically established neighborhoods would be encouraged. Strategies for implementation of this approach would include: a) Maintenance of the "status quo" in the Community Plan with regards to existing and future land use. Revise the Community Plan to further strengthen the County's vision for the corridor. b) Keep existing residential zoning districts throughout the corridor. c) Work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to take Colonial Avenue off the 6-year transportation improvement program. d) Make an effort to remove any commercial nonconformities from the corridor and discourage additional development as such. e) Recommend denial of commercial rezoning applications. Develop strategies to detour/discourage through-traffic. Implement pedestrian access system and links to other neighborhoods/commercial areas. f) Adopt special sensitive corridor overlay district to address issues such as traffic volume, design/improvement of structures, pedestrian ways, noise, trees, and other natural features. II. Growth with Residential Focus The preservation of residential units is the focus, but the area may be seen as in a state of minor transition into more intense use types. This approach should be open to limited office-type uses similar to existing commercial uses (and the conversion of R-1 residences and lots into limited R-2 multi-family uses). Land uses should be unobtrusive and have minimal impact on the adjacent neighborhoods. Strategies for implementation of this approach would include: a) Perform a study to determine likely or most feasible properties for transition, and develop a land use plan which identifies these and their best uses. Amend the Community Plan to reflect this. ~ b) Retention of as much of the single-family residences as possible. Amend the Community Plan to reflect the possibility of more intense development such as apartments, previously existing single- family home conversions into smaller apartments, townhouses, and single business sites. c) Using the land use plan and community plan, allow limited rezonings only on targeted properties and only for the designated purposes. d) Work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to develop a Ian for Colonial Avenue P improvements. This approach acknowledges that improvements to the road are likely, but not necessarily intense in nature. Alternatives may include a center turn lane, widening the shoulders, 56 1 1 1 1 1 1' 1 1 t 1 1 ~ ~~ 1 1 1 1 peak-hour no left turn requirements (Manassas), pedestrian and bicycle circulation patterns, or other traffic calming techniques. Colonial Avenue could ultimately be a study project for VDOT to investigate traffic calming techniques. e) With consent of owners, rezone existing commercial properties back to residential. f) Adopt a sensitive use overlay district for the corridor, which identifies features and uses that need to be preserved, use types that need to be avoided, and special structural architectural standards, which give the corridor the appearance of a residential neighborhood. Possibly set up a citizens architectural review board with outside interests lending their expertise. Mixed Use Residential/Commercial This approach focuses on a mixed-use environment, recognizing the possibility that the best use for frontage lots or properties at major intersections may be some sort of limited commercial. While the possibility of some commercial development is likely, any such development should blend with the adjacent neighborhood. Commercial uses are typically single business establishments in structures that for the most part retain their residential character. Pedestrian and vehicle circulation systems and their functionality are critical. Land uses should blend with the adjacent neighborhoods. Strategies for implementation of this approach would include: a) Amend the Community Plan to reflect the possibility of small-scale commercial development and planned commercial projects along the corridor. b) Rezone the frontage lots to NC Neighborhood Commercial or C-1 Commercial to allow for by-right development. c) Develop a special corridor overlay district for that recognizes the sensitivity of the neighborhoods. The district would have architectural and other performance standards related to minimal impact in the area. Standards could include regulations on the structures themselves, landscaping and buffers, location and type of parking, hours of operation, signage and lighting restrictions, access to lots (alleys instead of directly off Colonial) and use types. d) Work with Virginia Department of Transportation to devise a program for better circulation along the corridor. This may involve road improvements, signalization, pedestrian walkways and cyclist lanes, and no left turn requirements. Program should include the possibility of private alleyways behind frontage lots. e) Draft a land use plan to determine present and ideal future uses for parcels. This may involve parcel-specific research by staff identifying best uses for each. Office District Extension of existing commercial development along the corridor is the focus of this approach. Established nodes and centers are seen as anchors for future businesses. However, basic uses will be general offices and not retail. The corridor essentially is in transition to becoming a truly mixed-use area with established residential neighborhoods and office commercial development. Much of the new projects should be establishments identified as necessary and useful for the immediate neighborhood, therefore maximizing their utility and usefulness. Prospective businesses may combine parcels in order to locate their operations there, and development standards similar to those of a PRD or PCD are necessary. Larger office buildings are a possibility. Strategies for implementation of this approach 57 ii would include: a) Amend the Community Plan to reflect a change in existing policy and vision for the Colonial Avenue corridor. The amendments would include provisions for small offices and office park-type uses. b) Rezone the frontage lots to C-1 Commercial and encourage rezonings to PCD to reflect the future vision of the corridor. c) Develop a special set of standards for planned residential and commercial developments which minimize the impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhoods. These could include such things as ingress/egress, parking, lighting, landscaping, use types as related to noise and building design. d) Work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to devise a street improvement plan for Colonial Avenue. Pedestrian and bicycle access and use are a vital element, as commercial uses may be designed to target the immediate neighborhoods. This may involve the addition of sidewalks, bike lanes, one or more lanes, stop lights, or other elements. Particular attention should be paid to the level of traffic and effective circulation patterns. e) Draft a land use plan which identifies specific goals for growth and ideal land use types, which would include uses the residents view as necessary, offices and office support services. Retail uses would be prohibited. V. Commercial District This approach would essentially be the commercialization of a recognized high traffic corridor, and a link between Roanoke City and outlying areas in the County. Existing commercial nodes would be extended as "commercial infill" would be encouraged. The primary focus of the transition would be the frontage lots, and uses would include not only general offices but retail uses as well. This approach would allow for the combination of lots for larger-scale developments. Favorable use types would reach beyond the needs of the immediate neighborhoods. Strategies for implementation of this approach would include: a) Amend the Community Plan to reflect this change in existing policy and vision for the Colonial Avenue corridor. The amendments would include provisions for larger-scale general commercial and retail development and planned commercial developments. b) Rezone the frontage lots to C-2 Commercial and encourage rezonings to PCD to reflect the future vision of the corridor. c) Develop a special set of standards for minimizing the impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhoods. These standards would also set criteria for the extension of commercial development beyond the frontage lots when appropriate. Protection for the adjacent neighborhoods is scaied down from previous approaches. Standards might include such things as ingress/egress, stormwater management, alternate entry points/alleyways, parking, lighting, landscaping, use types as related to noise and building design. d) Work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to devise a street improvement plan for Colonial Avenue. Pedestrian and bicycle access may not carry as high a priority as in previous approaches, and commercial uses are intended to service a larger market beyond existing neighborhoods. Expansion of existing facilities is likely in this approach, and the emphasis- is on 58 smooth through-traffic movement and capacity management. e) Draft a land use plan to accommodate the transition to a highly visible and commercially vital corridor. While pedestrian facilities and neighborhood protection are a lower priority, the plan still recognizes these and contains strategies to accomplish each. Extensive research should be conducted on approaches other communities throughout the country have taken to produce an ideal commercial district. This should include a plan that balances vehicle and pedestrian traffic, blends different use types, and minimizes impacts on adjacent residential development. Colonial Avenue could be seen as a model commercial corridor for future transitional areas in Roanoke County. i_J 1 t 1 1 1 t 1 59 vial Avenue Corridor suture Land Use Proposed ,~ Neighborhood Conservation .~ Development ~ Transition Core Study Area Boundary i,( Prepared by the Roanoke County Department of Community Develop kale December 22, 1999 APPENDIX A FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ROADWAYS The street and highway systems typically serve two major functions: the movement of traffic between dispersed points and the provision of access to individual properties. Because of the distinct characteristics of these two functions no single roadway type can safely or efficiently meet all travel needs. Thus, five roadway types are frequently utilized to describe the movement of vehicles from origin to destination. Figures 1 below and Figure 2 on the following page illustrate this concept. Of these five roadway types, there are three -Major Arterials, Minor Arterials and Collectors - where through traffic predominates. The entire length of Colonial Avenue, from Brandon Avenue in Roanoke City to Route 221 is categorized as a Minor Arterial. Typically, Minor Arterials such as Colonial Avenue serve less concentrated traffic-generating areas such as residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools than do Major Arterials. Colonial Avenue connects with two Major Arterials, Route 419 and Route 221; each of these roads has much higher concentrations of commercial development than does Colonial Avenue. As shown in Figure 1 below, the primary function of Colonial Avenue should be the safe movement of through traffic with a secondary function of access to residential areas, neighborhood shopping centers and schools. Typically, arterial roadways offer little or no direct access (driveway access) to residential development.

A. A reverse frontage and/or combined access. concept shall be utilized such that no lot has exclusive access to the arterial or primary highway; and in 1 addition, all developments shall provide sufficient building, parking and travelway setbacks to permit the construction of the ultimate highway section. B. If reverse frontage or combined access cannot be provided, the site shall be limited to one ' exclusive access point. 200.06 Driveway Connections It is the intent of this Manual that access be provided to individual residential lots only from streets classified as local and minor collector as defined in the Virginia Department of Transportation's Subdivision Street Requirements. A reverse frontage or service drive concept is required for streets which: A. Carry in excess of five thousand five hundred vehicles per day (5,500 vpd) and/or are categorized as primary highway; or ' B. The Roanoke County Transportation Plan indicates will carry in excess of five thousand five hundred vehicles per day (5,500 vpd). If the Director finds that a street carries in excess of three thousand vehicles per day (3,000 vpd), he may require a traffic impact study by a licensed Engineer to evaluate potential problems and to recommend corrective measures. 64 VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION • Minimum Standards of Entrances To State Highways -Traffic Engineering Division • Subdivision Street Requirements • Road and Bridge Standards • Drainage Manual -Location and Design Division • Land Use Permit Maizual -Maintenance Division 65 1 1 t 1 1 1 1 t 1 1 1 1 .-.

As development has increased over the years around the inner city area, the function of Colonial Avenue has stayed the same. This increase in development has had a direct impact on the roadway as traffic volumes rise steadily. High traffic volumes and the availability of developable land often cause developers to seek locations along such corridors for new commercial development. This situation has begun along the Colonial Avenue corridor. As commercial pressures increase, the importance of protecting established neighborhoods and ensuring the safe and efficient flow of traffic becomes more crucial. It is also important to ensure a comfortable transition for existing residential frontage properties if neighboring parcels become commercial. Compatibility can be improved upon, if not achieved, through the proper use of building style, orientation and location, landscaping, signage, lighting, parking concepts and access management. Staff recommends the following site design guidelines -particularly on Colonial Avenue frontage properties -for development or redevelopment in the corridor. Goal • To plan for and achieve compatibility between new and existing developments along the corridor. Design Guidelines Objectives - To encourage well designed, aesthetically pleasing developments that make a positive contribution to the streetscape and lessen potential negative impacts on adjacent residential properties. - To encourage architectural compatibility with the surrounding residential character. - To minimize impacts to traffic flow from new developments. - To encourage the use of landscaping to improve environmental quality within new developments, enhance property values and create an enduring community image. - To limit light pollution onto adjacent residential areas and encourage human scale in detail lighting. - To minimize sign clutter by encouraging attractive, well-placed signage. I. Existing Conditions A. The proposed development should show sensitivity to the existing residential character of the corridor by incorporating as many of the following as possible: 1. The preservation and use of existing residential structures for small offices (architecturally compatible alterations and additions are permitted), or the construction of new buildings having a distinct residential character. 2. The preservation and incorporation of existing vegetation. 3 . Front yard character that is a common feature of residential properties should b e preserved. 4. Depending upon terrain, the use of terraced parking lots, minimizing their visual and site impacts, may be appropriate. 5. Existing drainage ways should be protected and incorporated into all proposals. II. Site Layout A. Buildings 1. A building should be prominent from street view, using its architecture as advertising. 2. Setbacks should be determined according to ultimate road right-of--way. 3. Minimum distance between a building, off-street parking, driveway, loading space or paved surfaces and any contiguous residential property should be 25 feet. B. Parking 1. Parking should be constructed to the rear and sides of buildings only. Street frontage should be devoted to building architecture and landscaping. 2. Parking areas should be designed to allow future interconnections with adjacent parcels. 3. Where feasible, break up required parking into smaller areas spaced throughout the site, lessening their visual and environmental impacts. 4. Alternative surface materials, such as pervious pavement, are recommended. Asphalt pavement should be minimized to mitigate existing drainage problems. C. Site Access 1. Where feasible, businesses should share access points from the street right-of--way. Temporary access points may be utilized until further development of the corridor allows for combined access. These temporary permits are issued with the understanding that they will be closed when a satisfactory alternate access in available in the opinion of the local governing body. 2. At the time of project approval property owners should provide a joint easement agreement allowing cross access to and from other properties in the surrounding area and a unified parking and circulation plan should be established wherever feasible. III. Architectural Treatment A. Scale 1. Size of buildings should approach a residential scale. Avoid excessive height and buildings out of scale with adjacent structures. 2. Where larger buildings are proposed, landscaping and architectural facades should be used to lessen their impact. 3. Where infilling between existing residential structures, maintain a continuity of building height, width, first floor elevation, architectural style and porch detailing, if applicable. B. Entrances 1. Design entrances that are clearly visible and easily recognizable from parking lots and walkways which serve the building. 2. The principal "front" facade should face Colonial Avenue, for all buildings directly adjacent to the road, although the major pedestrian entrance maybe in the back or side of the structure. C. Materials 1. Materials should be selected for harmony with the surrounding community and for suitability to the type of building and style in which they are used. 2. Exterior materials such as exposed concrete block, metal or brightly colored siding are not recommended. Materials should be in the range of earth tones. D. Roofs Utilize dormers, gables and other variations in roof shapes and/or heights that are compatible with the basic facade elements and add interest and scale to the building. Avoid flat roofs. Gable roofs, hip roofs and multiple plain roofs are encouraged. IV. Landscaping A. Native Vegetation 1. Landscape plans should incorporate the use of native vegetation. B. Adjacent Right-of--Way Plantings 1, Front yards should be developed as open green spaces with a combination of large and small trees, evergreen & deciduous shrubs, earth berms, and/or ground covers. 2. Where it is necessary that portions of a parking lot front the adjacent right-of--way, a planting strip of 10 feet in width should be provided along the adjacent right-of--way. Within this strip a combination of large and small trees, evergreen & deciduous shrubs, earth berms or ground covers should be utilized to buffer the parking area. C. Parking Areas 1. Parking areas should incorporate raised landscaped islands in order to break up large expanses of pavement. 2. Large shade trees should be planted within and along the perimeter of parking areas in order to mitigate the negative environmental effects of heat and glare. 3. Landscaped berms located around parking areas to soften the noise, light and view of a parking area to its neighbors are highly encouraged. D. Building Plantings 1. Buildings should incorporate foundation plantings where appropriate. E. Stormwater Management 1. Above- ground stormwater management areas and facilities should be landscaped with plants adaptable to being temporarily inundated with water and designed as an asset to the overall development. F. Screening & Buffering 1. Where a development adjoins residential property, a 25-foot wide buffer yard should be required. a. Within this buffer yard landscaping and screening should be provided and maintained to an average height of 15 feet. A combination of lazge and small trees, evergreen & deciduous shrubs, earth berms and/or ground covers should be utilized. Berming is encouraged to supplement screening. Average berm height should be 3-4 feet. Berm slopes should be no greater than 2:1. V. Lighting A. Details of lighting fixtures should be compatible with the existing residential character of the corridor. B. Path and landscape lighting are encouraged where appropriate. Lighting should be at a pedestrian scale through the use of light standards or placements 14 feet or less in height. C. Parking lot lighting should be no more than 14' above grade, down-lit or shielded so as to direct light to the interior of the lot and not project glare onto the street or adjacent properties. Average intensity should not exceed the minimum required for safety. D. Any security lighting should be shielded and located so as to not cast light onto adjacent properties. In addition, the light source should not be visible from adjoining residential areas. VI. Signage A. The shared use of signs is encouraged for adjacent businesses. B. Signage should complement a buildings' architectural style. C. Signage placed on buildings should occupy less than 5% of the facade area. D. All freestanding signs should be monument type and meet the following criteria: 1. Monument signs should not exceed 5 feet in height or 7 feet in width; 2. Signs should be ground lit or top lit with shielded lamps placed so as to not cast light onto the path of traffic or on any adjacent road or property. E. Message length should be limited so that a passing motorist can read a sign within three-to-four seconds. No interchangeable boards should be permitted. F. Signs should be complemented, accented and enhanced by landscaping. The size of the landscaping plot should be one and one-half times the square footage of the sign. G. No portable or temporary signs should be permitted. COLONIAL AVENUE CORRIDOR FUTURE LAND USE MAP PROPOSED TRANSITION DESIGNATION AMENDMENTS ALTERNATIVE II - Proposed Transition Locations - 300 Feet East of Manassas Drive to Poplar Drive; Recommended for Approval by the Planning Commission in July 2000 This option adds Transition areas along the north side of Colonial Avenue. Portions of all lots adjoining Colonial Avenue between Route 419 and Poplar Drive (excluding Core-designated Promenade Park) are shown as Transition. Advantages include a more equitable approach to potential redevelopment on each side of Colonial Avenue while not opening up an excessive number of parcels to potential redevelopment. Disadvantages include a loss of Neighborhood Conservation designated sites on two adjacent blocks of densely developed single family residential properties in the corridor and, due to the downsloping terrain at the rear of these lots, the difficulty of not exacerbating drainage problems should redevelopment occur.
