projections. (Brent Robertson, Budget Director)
TIME: 4:40 P.M. UNTIL 5:00 P.M.
Mr. Robertson advised that several months ago, the Board asked to review more
comprehensive results on revenues. He reviewed the revenue adiustments made
to the current near which are necessary based on the actual audited figures from
FY 2002. He advised that the revenue projections are on target and that positive
adiustments of $87,035 were made. He advised that the second quarter figures
for the County should be available for review by the second week in January.
Pete Geisen, County Legislative Contact, was also present, and he was asked for
his opinion concerning the Governor's upcoming budget cuts. He advised that
at this time, there is a lot of speculation but nothing definite.
3. Work session with Roanoke Valley Legislators to discuss the 2003 Session of
the Virginia General Assembly. (Paul Mahoney, County Attorney) (5:00 p.m.)
TIME: 5:18 P.M. UNTIL 6:08 P.M.
The legislators present were Delegates Griffith, Thomas, Senators Edwards and
Trumbo. Also present were Legislative Aide Christie Meredith representing
Delegate Woodrum, Pete Geisen, and Dr. Linda Weber, School Superintendent.
Mr. Mahoney advised that the top priorities of the County's legislative program
for 2003 were: (1) amend the County Charter to lew and collect taxes on tobacco
products; (2) obtain support for school capital construction funding; and (3)
secure permission from the Virginia Department of Transportation to install a
traffic signal on Route 220 near Clearbrook School. Other requests from the
County's legislative program which were discussed: (1) the County's desire to
have an ownership in Explore Park and (2) opposition to reallocation of
transportation funds in the Salem District to pay for the Smart Road Project.
Delegate Thomas indicated that he would contact VDOT and ask for an update on
the Clearbrook traffic signal. Delegate Griffith advised that he felt all of the
legislators were opposed to the Salem District paving for the entire Smart Road
Proiect. The legislators were in agreement that the County should submit both a
Charter amendment and 581 bill to obtain the necessary authority to levy a tax on
tobacco products.
It was the consensus of the group to move forward with scheduling a dinner with
the legislators and representatives from several localities during Legislative Day
in Richmond on 1/23/03 at the SunTrust Building.

V. REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor McNamara: He advised that he and Supervisor Flora, as members of
the Metropolitan Planning Organization, attended a meeting on Monday to sign an
Early Action Compact as it relates to ozone mitigation in the Roanoke Valley. If
the program is entered into voluntarily, this will prevent any Environmental
Protection Agency's action against the Roanoke Valley. He felt that another
strong reason for getting into this program would be to improve the health of the
citizens of the Roanoke Valley. He advised that a document will be presented for
Board approval in the near future.
Supervisor Minnix: He advised that he has been receiving many calls from
citizens concerned that their neighbors' yards and homes are unkempt which
causes___th_eir property values to decrease. He asked that Mr. Hodge and staff
determine if an ordinance or some other action could be developed to require
citizens to take care of their property. Mr. Hodge advised that staff would
research the matter and report back.
9
Supervisor Flora: He advised that he was indebted to the three Board members
before him and the administration for securing the funding for the School
Resource Officers. He related the details of a situation that his daughter found
herself in on her way back to college. By remembering the advice given to her
by Tim Myles, School Resource Officer at Northside High School, she avoided a
potentially deadly situation. He also thanked the State Police for investigating her
complaint. He advised that the School Resource Officers provide an extremely
valuable service.
Supervisor Church: (1) He attended the Community Christmas Store, which is
run by volunteers, and was very impressed by their work. They served 700
families this near. He thought it so worthwhile that he missed the Chamber of
Commerce dinner at Hotel Roanoke later that night. He also asked Mr. Hodge to
see if the County could accommodate them with storage for their shelves until
next year. (2) He thanked U. S. Senators Goodlatte and Allen for holding a bi-
partisan luncheon meeting that he, Mr. Hodge and others attended. (3) He
thanked all of the Roanoke Valley legislators who met earlier in the work session
for their hard work on behalf of all of their constituents.
Mr Hodge wished the Board members Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. He
thanked them for their support during this very eventful near. The County worked
through many problems and came through the recent financial budgetary
constraints in a better situation because of the foresight and planning of the
Board. He also thanked the staff for their many accomplishments during the
year.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Appropriation as a Result of Operations for the
Year Ended June 30, 2002
SUBMITTED BY: Diane D. Hyatt
Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge ~~
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
I am pleased with the efforts of the staff to reduce expenditures for the year ended
June 30, 2002. They took the situation seriously, and eliminated most capifal items and
travel from (heir budgets. If they had not done this, we would befacing ayear--end deficit.
When implementing, the Board of Supervisors promised the excess ambulance fees
would remain in fire and rescue. $50, 000 of the excess fees is due to the Town of Vinton
for calls that they have run. The remaining $170, 484 will be used for one-time expenses,
such as SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus). !n the current budget, the revenues
from ambulance fees are budgeted at a higher level and used fo offset the additional staff
time due to higher calls. We will be having a work session with the Board in January 2003
to review the staffing and workload at each of the stations.
1 continue to be concerned about the safety of some of the County vehicles. !
recommend that a portion of the year-end surplus be used to fund the purchase of
vehicles. We will return to the Board in January 2003 with a plan to (ease purchase the
remainder of the needed vehicles.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
KPMG has completed their audit of the financial statements of the County of Roanoke and
the County of Roanoke Schools for the year ended June 30, 2002. The Audit Committee
met earlier today with KPMG to review their findings. KPMG delivered a favorable opinion
to the County and did not have any Management Letter comments. The Comprehensive
Annual Report is currently at the printers and should be delivered in the next week.
As shown on Attachment A, revenues for the year were $119,629,564, which was
$335,370 less than budget. The largest variance in the revenues was in the personal
property tax, which was $1,205,068 below budget. However, overall the revenues were
0.3% under budget.
Included in these revenues is $220,484 of Fee for Service revenues in excess of budget.
Of this amount, approximately $50,000 is due to the Town of Vinton for calls run in their
area. At the time the Ambulance Fee was approved, these revenues were committed to
the Fire and Rescue Department.
In anticipation of a revenue shortfall, the County departments reduced their operating
budgets by $954,671 as a mid-year adjustment. In addition, the departments saved
another $750,864 throughout the year. These savings were achieved in a variety of ways.
The County postponed all capital purchases that could be delayed. Travel and training
were allowed only on a limited basis. All vacancies were reviewed by a Job Bank
Committee to see if the position was absolutely necessary, and positions were frozen or
transferred to higher priority needs in the County. In addition, there were personnel layoffs.
Because of the deliberate actions taken to reduce expenditures, the County ended the year
with a surplus of $1,442,705 at June 30, 2002, as summarized on Attachment B. Of this
amount $220,484 is committed to Fire and Rescue as explained above and $35,510 is the
result of an accounting entry to adjust the investments to market. This leaves $1,186,711
that is available to be appropriated.
If we follow the year-end rollover policy that the Board has adopted, the shortfall of revenue
items totaling $591,364 would be deducted from the General Fund Unappropriated
Balance. 60% of the expenditure savings of $750,864 (approximately $450,000) would be
returned to the departments for capital or other one-time purchases. The remaining funds
(approximately $1,328,075) would be transferred to the County Capital Fund Balance.
However, in light of the current State revenue problems, and the uncertainty of what that
will cost us in lost State revenues for the remainder of the current fiscal year and next fiscal
year, we recommend that the net amount of $1,186,711 be used as follows:
1. $450,000 to replace unsafe high mileage County vehicles
2. $736,711 set aside in a Reserve for Revenue Shortfall, until we are able to
assess the full impact of the State budget reductions.
The General Fund Unappropriated Balance at June 30, 2002 is $9,070,656. This is an
increase of $498,067, or 5.8% from last year. At June 30, 2002 the General Fund
Unappropriated Balance was 7.2% of the General Fund Revenues.
Results of Operations of the Roanoke County Schools for the Year Ended June 30, 2002 -
Attachment C is the report that was presented to the School Board on November 21, 2002.
The School Board took final action to approve this report on December 9, 2002. The
Schools ended the year with a surplus of $4,008,278. Based upon the adopted County
budget ordinance, these funds will automatically be appropriated to the School Capital
a
Fund. A detailed schedule of the proposed uses discussed with the School Board is
included in Attachment C. Included in the total is $2,828,098 that will be reserved in the
School Capital Fund for revenue shortfalls. This is added to the $738,302 that was
reserved for revenue shortfalls from the June 30, 2001 surplus. The School Board will need
to request, and the County Board approve, for this money to be transferred to the School
Operating Fund if this shortfall does occur. No action is required by the County Board at
this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the following actions:
1. The Fee for Service in excess of budget of $220,484 be appropriated to the
Fire and Rescue department.
2. $450,000 be appropriated for vehicle replacement.
3. $736,711 be appropriated to a Reserve for Revenue Shortfall, until such time
as the full impact of the State budget reductions are known.

ACTION #
ITEM NUMBER
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF ROANOKE COUNTY,
VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Appropriation of Final Year-End Balance from School Operations for Fiscal
Year Ended June 30, 2002
BACKGROUND: As a result of year-end operations, actual revenue received exceeded budgeted revenue by
$150,087 (or .15%}, while under-expenditures in the major spending categories accounted for $3,987,545 (or
3.8%) of the year-end balance (Attachment A).
As noted in the finalized audit for fiscal year 2001-02, the year-end fund balance for school operations is
$4,047,6321ess outstanding encumbrances of $39,354 or a net of $4,008,278. The budget ordinance adopted
by the Board of Supervisors on May 22, 2001 indicated "that all school fund appropriations remaining at the
end of the 2001-02 fiscal year not lapse but shall be appropriated to the School Capital Improvements Fund in
fiscal year 2002-03."
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Historically, the School Board has asked staff to identify and prioritize
capital needs to be considered for funding with the year-end balance. Last year, the School Board appropriated
$650,000 for bus replacements in FY02-03 and then reserved $738,302 for potential revenue shortfalls in
FY01-02. The appropriation for school buses last year is being used for the bus replacements in FY02-03. In
addition, staff is recommending that the revenue reserve appropriated last year, and not needed in FY01-02,
continue to be reserved for potential shortfalls during FY02-03 as Governor Warner is currently in the process
of reducing the state budget to balance a current year state budget deficit.
Recently, the Governor reduced the budgets of a number of state agencies, including local governments, for
approximately one-half of the state deficit. Although he has expressed a desire to protect public education, it is
becoming increasingly apparent that the state deficit cannot be covered without cuts to basic aid. The
Department of Education has not released any detailed information on cuts in basic aid for either the current
year or fiscal year 2003-04. However, they have verbally indicated that the Governor's budget submission in
December may include cuts to the current year budget or the General Assembly could revise downward the
state budget during the legislative budget process this winter.
For the second year in a row, staff has agreed that the current local, state, and national economies warrant a
conservative approach to spending the year-end balance. Consequently, staffis recommending the following:
• $650,000 for school bus purchases during summer 2003.
• $365,000 for the balance of the estimated A&E costs on Phase 2 projects.
• $100,000 for the CSHS softball field (Phase 2 minor project) which addresses a Title IX concern.
• $65,000 for carpet removal and the replacement at Back Creek ($61,000) and Northside ($6,000).
• $2,828,278 reserved for state revenue shortfalls in FY02-03 or FY03-04 and/or other future school
obligations (including health insurance increases, other Phase 2 minor projects, and laptop technology
initiative).
Attachment B outlines the recommendations and the reservation of prior year balances still available to the
School Board.
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\u-21-o2.doc 6
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecommends appropriation of the fiscal year 2001-02 year-end balance of
$4,047,632 per Attachment B. An informational report will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors and the
year-end funds will be placed in the School Capital Fund per the approved budget ordinance. At some point in
the future, if the School Board determines that the reserve funds should be appropriated for non-capital
expenditures, a new report will be presented for both School Board and Board of Supervisors approval.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare
is to support and promote the health, independence and
self-worth of individuals and families impacted by
mental illness, mental retardation and substance abuse
by providing quality, community-based services
that are responsive to the individual's needs.

Program Highlights -Roanoke County
July 1, 2001 -June 30, 2002
This report is offered to provide you with information specific to our
involvement with citizens of Roanoke County. We cover that in the next few
pages. But we also want to call your attention to our website, www.brbh.org,
which we hope you will visit for a more global understanding of our agency
and the scope of our work throughout the Roanoke Valley.
In fiscal year 2002, Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare staff delivered 125,841
units of service to 3,647 Roanoke County residents. The value of those
services was $3,604,979. The County's FY 2002 local tax contribution to our
agency's operations was $117,755. That means that County residents
received $30.61 worth of services for each tax dollar allocated to their
Community Services Board.
The following are examples of how Blue Ridge is working for Roanoke
County residents:
Assessment and Counselin_g Services is the single gateway to agency
services, crisis response, comprehensive assessment, and short-term
interventions for all mental disabilities.
-:• Shenandoah Recovery Center (SRC) admitted 19 Roanoke County
residents who met the criteria for a temporary detention order or a civil
commitment order. These individuals received detoxification, stabilization,
and in some cases short-term residential substance abuse treatment.
Hospitalization in a state or private facility was avoided by providing this
service. Although BRBH receives some special state funding to support
this service, the mandate that we severely minimize state hospital
admissions influences the services and populations we must prioritize.
• The RELATE Project (Relationship Education Leading Adolescents
Towards Empowerment) is a collaborative effort between the SARA
(Sexual Assault Response and Awareness) Program and Alternatives, Inc.
This five-session peer education curriculum addresses the issues of
healthy relationships, communication skills, boundary setting, and reducing
incidents of dating violence. One hundred sixty Roanoke County students
participated in this training.
• In an effort to reduce waiting times for crisis intervention and evaluation
between the peak hours of 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., BRBH established a Crisis
on Call service. This allowed additional crisis counselors to be called to
reduce wait time for six Roanoke County residents.
• Two staff participated in training fifteen Roanoke Valley police officers in
crisis intervention training. This 40-hour specialized police training
teaches officers how to recognize the symptoms of mental illness and how
to better deal with those types of calls.
• Regional Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing have served three
county residents who needed crisis stabilization, prescreening, discharge
planning, case management, consultation or short-term counseling.
Child and Family Services provides a continuum of prevention, early
intervention, and therapeutic services and supports for families with children
who are at risk of developing or who have serious emotional disorders,
mental retardation and substance use disorders.
• A full-time child and adolescent psychiatrist was added to the staff in order
to provide medical support to children living in the community who have
behavioral health disorders.
• The middle school Day Treatment Program continued to be delivered in
partnership with Roanoke County Schools and the Roanoke County
Community Policy and Management Team at the Roland E. Cook site in
Vinton. These services help to maintain adolescents in this public school
site through therapy and case management. Thereby avoiding more costly
private day school or residential placements.
Community Support Services provides the necessary services and
supports to consumers with long-term mental disabilities to maximize each
individual's potential for independence, improved quality of life, and optimum
level of functioning. Services through Community Support Services programs
have remained constant throughout the year even after 3% budget cuts in
March 2002.
• The Long Term Support programs have served 28 Mental Health clients
helping them to maintain their independence and stability in the
community. For Mental Retardation services, 27 Roanoke County clients
have received Alternative Day Supports in FY 2002.
• Outpatient Services in Mental Health through the Psychiatric Services
program has served 148 Roanoke County clients this year through
medications management, psychiatric services and nursing services.
• The Adult Resource Management in Mental Health and Mental Retardation
along with the Adult Living Facilities programs served 162 adults in
Roanoke County. ARM programs offered comprehensive case
management, crisis services, and psychosocial services and ALF provided
case management to residents of two adult living facilities located in
Roanoke County.
On the following page is a table that displays Service data for Roanoke
County in the manner the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation,
and Substance Abuse Services requires of us. It shows in summary: the
County's clients seen according to service, the number of units of each type
of service delivered, an indicator as to whether a given service unit is an hour,
a day, etc., and the total cost of each type of service.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On October 8, 2002, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 100802-2 declaring a
drought disaster in Roanoke County and asked for Disaster Assistance from the
Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States (Attachment A). The format for the
resolution declaring the drought disaster and the subsequent letter to be sent to the
Governor was faxed to the County by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services on October 2 (Attachment B) which was clearly after
the September 19 deadline and did not mention that the deadline had passed or that no
further funds would be available.
Governor Warner forwarded Roanoke County's information to Secretary of Agriculture
Veneman on October 17 with information concerning nine other Virginia jurisdictions
(Attachment C). Governor Warner expressed concern in his letter about the arbitrary
September 19 deadline for the Livestock Compensation Program. Since September 19,
the Governor has submitted requests for at least 28 Virginia jurisdictions that presumably
will not be eligible for assistance.
~:.
Staff has spoken with officials at the Cooperative Extension office, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Farm Service Agency, staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in
Washington, D.C., and Congressman Goodlatte's office to see if anything can be done to
obtain relief for our farmers even though the initial request was submitted after the
September 19 deadline. To date, no assistance has been identified.
One of our farmers faxed to us a notice received from the Farm Service Agency concerning
filing requirements for the farmers (attachment D). The form indicated that the individual's
claims must be filed by December 13, and also indicated that this was for Craig and
Botetourt Counties, and that Roanoke County is currently not approved.
The attached resolution asks all of our Federal Legislators to work on behalf of Roanoke
County to find assistance for our farmers who suffered losses as result of the recent
drought disaster. In the original program, the payments for each head of eligible livestock
ranged from $13.50 to $31.50. There are approximately 5,000 head of cattle in Roanoke
County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on the range of values, the impact to Roanoke County farmers could range from
$67,500 to $150,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve the attached resolution asking our Congressional delegation to seek
assistance for the Roanoke County farmers adversely impacted by the recent
drought disaster.
2. Continue to monitor conditions with the Department of Agriculture to see if other
alternatives become available. To date, their staff has not found other sources of
money to be used for this project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative 1, approving the attached resolution seeking help for our
farmers.

Dear Mr. Chambliss:
Thank you for your letter requesting disaster designation in response to drought
conditions affecting Roanoke County and its farmers.
On October 18, 2002 I wrote Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman requesting a
drought disaster designation for Roanoke County and nine other Virginia localities.
There are now 68 such requests from Virginia pending with Secretary Veneman. I have
asked our congressional delegation for assistance in expediting Secretary Veneman's
review of these requests.
Thank you again for bringing your county's situation to my attention.
Sincerely,

Dear Secretary Veneman:
I am writing on behalf of thousands of farmers in Virginia to request that you
designate the following 10 Virginia localities disaster areas for the purpose of allowing
farmers in these counties and contiguous localities to participate in any emergency
assistance programs available through your agency:
Accomack Lancaster Roanoke
Carroll Lee Russell
Grayson Patrick
Greensvil_le Rappahannock
I make this request in response to the agricultural losses experienced in these
localities because of drought and excessive heat. Enclosed is a copy of the official
damage assessment reports that were prepared by the Farm Service Agency in response
to a request from my staff on my behalf. Any federal assistance that would help reduce
the financial hardship caused by the abnormally dry weather and excessive heat would be
welcomed by the hard working farmers and their families in these localities.
I urge your prompt approval of this request and look forward to your response in
the near future. In addition to urging expeditious approval of disaster designations of the
ten counties identified above, I also reiterate the request I made earlier of the Department
for prompt action on the other 58 applications from Virginia pending with your office.

The Honorable Ann M. Veneman
October 17, 2002
Page 2
Some of these requests have now been before you since August 6th. Virginia's farmers
and their families need relief now.
I am equally concerned about the arbitrary September 19, 2002 deadline for the
Livestock Compensation Program. Your announcement of the program generated
considerable interest among Virginia farmers who have livestock and whose operations
have been severely impacted by drought and excessive heat. Livestock production
generates a major portion of Virginia's farm cash receipts. Farmers in this agricultural
sector have been hit hard by drought conditions in 2001 and 2002.
However, much of the good done by this program was undercut by the decision to
announce the program on September 19 and to impose a deadline of that same day. As a
result of this arbitrary deadline, only about 45 of Virginia's localities--less than half of
our agricultural-producing counties and independent cities--are expected to be qualified
for the Livestock Compensation Program due to the arbitrary September 19, 2002
deadline.
Since September 19, I have submitted designation requests for an additional 28
Virginia localities, including the 10 requested in this letter, and we have several other
localities being assessed for damages. Many of these localities that have been shut out of
the Livestock Compensation Program have significant livestock production, but, because
their losses will not be documented until after September 19, farmers within their
jurisdictions will not be included in the program. Farmers in these localities are every bit
as deserving as farmers in other states. An arbitrary administrative deadline should not
prevent them from receiving the relief that they need.
I strongly urge you to extend the arbitrary September 19 deadline to permit
livestock farmers in all areas that have qualifying drought losses to apply for relief under
the Livestock Compensation Program. It would be a fair and equitable thing to do and it
would greatly benefit Virginia's farmers, their families, and our farming communities.
Sincerely,
Gi/~.,
Mark R. Warner

To Whom It May Concern:
I Mike Christley am writing concerning the property, in which I am requesting to
be rezoned, located at 5521 Bent Mountain Road. In this letter I will discuss my wishes
for the property as well as give a brief history of the property.
The property was originally used as a garage in the 1960's. It was then used as a
used car Iot in the 1970's. In the 1980's, it was used for a maintenance shop by an.
excavating business. In the I990's I purchased the property and has been used as a
maintenance shop and office for my business. In 1992 Roanoke County rezoned the
properties along Bent Mountain Road. All the other businesses were zoned commercial.
Our property was zoned residential. Our office has only a bathroom and 2 rooms to be
used as offices and a smaller room for storage. It has no kitchen or sleeping area.
We wish to rezone this property to allow for a used car lot. We will clean up the
area by removing the construction material that is piling up. We will trim the shrubs
around the office to make it more pleasing to the eye. There will be no change to the site
as far as grading. It will remain a gravel lot. All the vehicles will be parked in the fenced
in area. Their hours will be 8-7, Monday -Saturday. There will be no extra lighting
added. There will be no outside speakers to be heard by our neighbors. There will be no
maintenance of vehicles by the car dealer on the premises.
We wish for the matter to be heard as soon as possible. We feel that the change
will make the property more presentable to the eyes of the community. Thank you for
your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
~y"ff//,~ /' r a-

STIFICATION FOR REZONING, SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR WAIVER REQUEST
Applicant: Soverei,g_n Grace Community Church
The Planning Commission will study rezoning, special use permit or waiver requests to deternline the need and justification
for the change ui terms of public health, safety, and general welfare. Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as
possible. Use additional space if necessary.
Please explain how the request furthers the Roanoke County Ordinance as well as the purpose fotmd at the beginning of the
applicable district classification in the Zoning Ordinance.
The current zoning classification is C2C. We request a "Special Use Penmit" to locate a church within one-
third of the building at 7300 Williamson Road. We believe that the use of this location by a church can be
consistent with the purposes of the Roanoke County Ordinance because the "purpose of this district is to
provide locations for a variety of commercial and service related activities within the urban service area
serving a community of several neighborhoods or large areas of the county." Sovereign Grace Community
Church is aservice-related organization whose mission and practice will serve the surrounding community
of Roanoke County.
'.ease explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the Roanoke County
.;ommunity Plan.
The proposed Church will provide a link in enhancing and supporting other commercial
enterprises in the surrounding area by providing consumers who will frequent local
establishments. Further, the intended use of the building provides a safe, wholesome, well-
maintained environment which is consistent with the Roanoke Community Plan
Please describe the impact(s) of the request on the property itself, the adjoining properties, and the surrounding
area, as well as the impacts on public services and facilities, including water/sewer, roads, schools, parks
recreation and fire and rescue.
The owner (Mike Amos) prefers aoommunity-oriented organization, which will maintain the
aesthetics and finctionality of the building as well as provide a steady source of income.
Presently, two of the three corners of the Peters Creek/Williamson intersection have large vacant
buildings. The aforementioned building (formally Moore's Lumber) has been vacant for the
better part of a decade. Occupation of the property would possibly attract other business ventures
in addition to providing an increased consumer base to local establishments. The peak periods for
parking and traffic for the church are at times (Sunday morning and occasional Tuesday
evenings) when most of the surrounding traffic patterns are at low use levels. The building has
parking for at least 85 cars -current attendance of the church is approximately 75. The impact
on public services such as water and sewer, fire and rescue will be minimal due to the limited
meeting times, and the present infrastructure will require no alteration.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance Authorizing Creation of and
Financing for a Local Public Works Improvement Project -
Clearbrook Area -Amanda Lane Water Line Extension
SUBMITTED BY: Gary Robertson
Utility Director
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge ~~
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND:
At the request of several property owners on Amanda Lane located in the Clearbrook
Community of the Cave Spring magisterial district, Utility Department staff performed a
preliminary engineering study to evaluate the feasibility of constructing a water line
extension along Amanda Lane. These property owners have experienced problems with
water quantity and/or quality of their private wells.
A letter dated October 31, 2002 was sent to 14 property owners on Amanda Lane. From
this mailing, Utility Department staff received seven responses (6 in favor and 1 not
interested). Based on this response and the location of interested property owners, a
proposed service area, which can serve 11 properties, has been established as shown
on the attached location map noted as Attachment "A".
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Providing public water to the interested property owners would require construction of a
1,600 feet water line extension at an estimated cost of $56,705. This construction cost
includes installation of water laterals up to the property line and meter boxes, which would
serve all properties in the service area.
I
/~
The attached ordinance establishes a special water service area for the project with each
participating property owner paying their share of the cost through a special connection
fee of $6,500. This connection fee includes the fair share of the construction cost
($5,155.00) required to extend the public water system to serve the 11 properties within
the proposed service area plus $1,345.00, which represents 50 percent of the off-site
water facility fee of $2,690. The ordinance also establishes a method of financing up to
$5,155 for the initial participating property owners.
The proposed connection fee of $6,500 would be applicable only if property owners
financially commit to participate in the proposed project within 60 days of enactment of the
ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative 1: Establish a special water service area along Amanda Lane, which could
potentially serve 11 properties, as indicated on the attached sketch.
Approve construction of an 8-inch diameter water line extension as
shown on attached sketch. The estimated cost to construct this
alternative is $56,705.
For those property owners, who choose to not connect during the initial
sign-up period, the construction cost would have a one time 25 percent
increase (based on 5% annual increase for five years). Under this
alternative, the total cost for initial participants would be $6,500 with
later participants paying $9,134 (based on the present off-site facility fee
of $2,690).
Alternative 2: Do not approve request for extension of public water service to the
proposed service area along Amanda Lane.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If Alternative 1 is selected, the total construction cost would be $56,705. The six (6)
interested property owners would contribute $30,930. A transfer from the Public Works
Participation Fund would fund the remaining $25,775.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Alternative 1 be approved and that the Board of Supervisors
adopt the attached ordinance after the second reading. Said ordinance shall authorize
construction and financing for the Local Public Works Improvement Project, Clearbrook
Area -Amanda Lane Water Line Extension.

APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge ~ ~
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
This project has already been designed as a 4-way intersection, and it is ready to bid. This
was done with the expectation that DMV would construction an office on this site. We have
made every effort to get the necessary easements and rights-of-ways from the three
property owners on the east side of Route 220, as well as all of the property owners on the
Indian Grave Road side. We have been successful in getting these on the Indian Grave
Road side, but have not been able to reach agreement with Dr. Resk and Vine & Branch
on the east side. I do not expect that we will be able to within the near future, and so we
are modifying the design to bid this as a 3-way intersection. That will be complete in the
next few weeks so the project will not be delayed. We will continue to work with Dr. Resk
and Vine & Branch to obtain the necessary easements and will bid that as an alternate if
we are able to do so. The request today is for authorization to proceed with acquisition and
closing on these properties. Construction bids will be brought back to the Board for
approval at a later time.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The second reading of this ordinance will allow staff to authorize the documents and take
necessary actions to acquire the following properties for the Indian Grave Road Extension
and Intersection Improvements project.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 12-8 OF THE ROANOKE
COUNTY CODE "ADOPTION OF STATE LAW" TO
INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE THE AUTHORITY TO
ENFORCE CERTAIN LAWS AND REGULATIONS
CONCERNING VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTIONS
SUBMITTED BY: Paul M. Mahoney
County Attorney
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
,R
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1999 the General Assembly amended Section 46.2-1001 of the State Code to
allow law enforcement officers of Roanoke County to perform motor vehicle safety
inspections. Roanoke County requested this authority as a result of numerous citizen
complaints about and concern for the safety of commercial vehicles traveling through
portions of the County. Unsafe tractor trailers and other large trucks were threatening the
safety of County citizens. Many of these vehicles were using primary highways in the
County to avoid State Police inspections on the interstate highway.
The State Police has published regulations concerning enforcement of these
provisions for commercial motor vehicles, and has incorporated certain provisions of the
Code of Federal Regulation under Sec. 52-8.4:2. These offenses are identified as traffic
infractions. County law enforcement officers have been certified to enforce these laws,
regulations and provisions after completing the course of instruction for federal motor
carrier safety regulations, safety inspection procedures, and out-of-service criteria.
Since the County has begun commercial motor vehicle safety inspections, the traffic
unit has issued 223 summons, and 150 of these have been violations of commercial
federal regulations. Approximately 50 commercial vehicles have been taken out of service
due to safety violations.
~..- -' /
Sec. 12-8 of the County Code incorporates by reference the provisions of Title 46.2
(Motor Vehicle laws of the Commonwealth). This allows County policy officers to issue
traffic infraction summonses under the County Code, instead of the State Code. Fines
imposed on a summons issued under the County Code are paid to the County. Fines
imposed on a summons issued under the State Code are paid to the Commonwealth.
Judge Harris in the General District Court has questioned the legal authority to issue
summonses for these violations under Sec. 12-8 of the County Code. This amendment
attempts to address these questions by specifically referencing Sections 52-8.4 and 52-
8.4:2 in Section 12-8.
The Commonwealth's Attorney has reviewed and approved this draft ordinance.
The first reading of this ordinance was held scheduled for December 3, 2002; the
second reading is scheduled for December 17, 2002.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve and adopt this ordinance at second reading. Upon final adoption
County police officers can continue to issue summonses for violations of
commercial vehicle safety laws and regulations, and the fines will be paid to the
County.
2) Refuse to adopt this ordinance. Summonses will be issued under State Code.
Fines will be paid to the Commonwealth.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board favorably consider the adoption of the attached
ordinance at second reading.

In response to a question from Supervisor Minnix, Mr. Cain reported that
several workshops had been conducted regarding development of housing in higher
terrains. He stated that reports indicate benefits to the clustering of homes in order to

proposed plans for atwo-bay addition and parking lot improvements at the Read
Mountain station. Funding of the improvements will be split 60/40 between Botetourt
(60%) and Roanoke County (40%). Botetourt's share of the costs is being funded by a
donation from the volunteers totaling approximately $232,000. Roanoke County's share
totals approximately $175,000. Botetourt County is willing to fund a larger than 60%
share of the future cost of rolling stock (ambulances, etc.) to offset the cost of the
building improvements.
It was the consensus of the Board to proceed with this project. Staff will
bring the matter back to the Board for approval of an agreement with Botetourt County
since they own the land and Roanoke County owns the building at the Read Mountain
station. The Board also indicated the need to engage in discussions with Botetourt
County to encourage their participation in the funding of the project.

amount of $10,709.50
Dr. Lorraine Lange
Assistant Superintendent of Instruction
Elmer C. Hodge ~~
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke County Schools and Virginia Western Community College have an agreement
whereby the college provides college level courses in English, US History, and certain
technical subjects. These courses are taught by Roanoke County teachers who meet the
college's criteria for adjunct professors. Monies that have been collected exceed the
expenses; therefore, there is a request for these additional funds to be appropriated for in-
service and materials that will be used in the program. The school system collected
$35,145 in tuition from 691 students. VWCC will reimburse $73,306.50 for services
rendered (teachers, administrating expenses, rooms, utilities and maintenance). The
school division owes VWCC $97,742 for tuition, technology fees and college service fees.
The difference between the amount collected and the amount spent is $10,709.50
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Roanoke County Schools requests that $10,709.50 be appropriated to the instructional
program for use in the dual enrollment program -Budget Code 797530-6501

Request to approve Amendments to the Length of Service
Awards Program bylaws for the Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Personnel concerning eligibility requirements and time of
benefit payment
John M. Chambliss, Jr.
Assistant County Administrator
Elmer Hodge ~ r~
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In 1989, the Length of Service Awards Program (LOSAP) for the Volunteer Fire/Rescue
and Auxiliary Police personnel was approved by the Board of Supervisors. This program
provides retirement benefits to volunteers meeting the criteria based on yearly
requirements of service. A LOSAP Board of Trustees, consisting of six volunteers, County
personnel and advisory members oversees the administration of this program.
The original program bylaws are quite thorough, but the LOSAP Board felt that the
Eligibility Requirements should be updated to be more specific, to meet the changing
requirements of the fire/rescue service, and to ensure the integrity of the program. A copy
of the proposed revisions is attached.
Approval of the following amendments is being requested:
1. Section (7) -Eligibility Requirements
Addresses age requirements in terms of eligibilityfortheprogram to correspond
with the programs entitlement age of 55.
• Includes certifications that are considered minimum standards in the fire or
rescue volunteer organizations.
• Parallels County requirements in terms of application procedures and Standard
Operating Procedure Policies.
2. Section (11) Time of Benefit Payment
Allows the active volunteer to receive credit for a year of service during the year
in which they become 55 years old. Previously, the active volunteer who
couldn't earn the total amount of points before their 55th birthday would not
receive points for that year of service.
(i..e. The active volunteer who became 55 years of age in January could not
receive points for that year because they did not earn enough points before
they became 55, whereas the active volunteer who turned 55 years of age in
December received that last year of service.)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional funding should be required for these amendments.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve these two amendments to the LOSAP bylaws.
VOTE:
Supervisor Minnix motion to approve.
Motion Approved.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2002
RESOLUTION 111902-15 ADOPTING A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR
THE 2003 SESSION OF THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY, AND
PETITIONING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO FAVORABLY
CONSIDER THE TOPICS AND ISSUES ADDRESSED HEREIN
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia, has identified
major legislative issues of state-wide concern to be considered by the 2003 session of
the Virginia General Assembly; and
WHEREAS, the Board adopts this resolution as its Legislative Program for the
2003 session of the Virginia General Assembly.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke
County, Virginia, that the following legislative initiatives are submitted for its legislative
program for the 2003 session of the Virginia General Assembly for its favorable
consideration and adoption.
1) Approve amendments to the Roanoke County Charter as follows:
Sec. 2.02 -Taxing powers. - In addition to the powers granted by other sections
of the charter and general law, the county shall have the additional power to levy and
collect taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products, pursuant to Section 58.1-3832 of the
Code of Virginia.
Sec. 11.04 -Social Services Board. -The title of the social services board shall
be changed to social services advisory board and the membership on the board shall be
increased from three to at least seven members to be appointed by the board of
supervisors to serve terms of four years, one representing each election or magisterial
1
~-a
district, and one representative from the City of Salem.
Sec. 12.02 -School Board. -The county school board shall be composed of the
same number of members as there are members of the board of supervisors and shall
be elected by the voters from each magisterial district rather than appointed by the
school board selection commission.
2) Roanoke County requests funding for the Virginia Recreational Facilities
Authority (Explore Park) and Blue Ridge Parkway Interpretive Center Exhibits, and an
ownership interest reflecting County's financial support for Explore and the VRFA.
3) Roanoke County requests funding for school capital construction projects.
Roanoke County is in the second phase of a $120 million school capital construction
program. In the first phase the County funded $50 million of construction with 20 year
bonds sold through the VPSA. The Commonwealth has retreated from its modest
assistance to localities for school construction. Roanoke County needs either additional
funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia for school capital construction or new
sources of local tax revenue to pay for these capital expenditures.
4) Roanoke County opposes the reallocation of transportation funds in the
Salem District to pay for Virginia's Smart Road Project. It opposes the diversion of
funds from other approved road projects in the Salem District and it requests a more
equitable system for funding Virginia's Smart Road since this project was designed to
benefit all of the citizens of this Commonwealth.
5) Roanoke County requests the assistance of our local legislators in
directing the Commonwealth Transportation Board to install a traffic signal at the
2
.~
~_a
intersection of U. S. Route 220 and Indian Grave Road (State Route 675) to protect the
children at Clearbrook Elementary School. Roanoke County thanks its legislators for
their assistance in securing traffic signalization on U.S. Route 419 to protect the children
at Hidden Valley Junior High School and it request similar assistance for the children at
Clearbrook Elementary School.
That the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors is directed to send a certified copy of
this resolution to Senator John S. Edwards, Senator Malfourd W. "Bo" Trumbo,
Delegate H. Morgan Griffith, Delegate Clifton "Chip" Woodrum, Delegate A. Victor
Thomas; Mary F. Parker, Roanoke City Clerk; Members of the Roanoke City Council;
Forest Jones, Clerk for Salem City Council; Members of the Salem City Council; Clerk
for the Town of Vinton; Members of the Vinton Town Council and the Roanoke Valley-
Alleghany Regional Commission, and the Virginia Association of Counties.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: First reading of an ordinance authorizing the execution of a lease
agreement with Roanoke Catholic School for the expansion,
development and joint use of Vinyard Park for interscholastic athletic
and recreational purposes
SUBMITTED BY: Pete Haislip, Director
Parks, Recreation and Tourism
APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
~- ~ ~
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke Catholic School has never owned their own athletic fields and has used a variety
of fields to meet their sports needs. As their athletic programs have grown, they have
developed a strong desire to acquire quality-playing facilities to create a "home field
complex" for all their outdoor sports teams. Unfortunately their existing campus, located
adjacent to downtown Roanoke, does not have enough developable space to meet their
current or future field needs.
In May 2002 a representative of Roanoke Catholic School contacted Roanoke County
Parks and Recreation to see if there was a park site (convenient to their campus), as well
as interest in a potential partnership, to improve and/or develop facilities in return for long-
term use by Roanoke Catholic. Specifically they requested a game and practice soccer
field, a game and practice football field, one 300' baseball field, and a softball field. In
addition to fields, there was also a need to develop support facilities including a
restroom/concession stand, expanded parking, and the lighting of the football/baseball field
as well as other support amenities.
s-~
After conferring with County Administration, staff recommended Vinyard Park as a potential
site. Vinyard Park was identified for numerous reasons:
• The proposed development plan matches the identified needs of the Vinton Booster
Club and has the strong support of the Vinton Booster Club.
• It is located 3.2 miles from the Roanoke Catholic campus.
• The majority of times of use required by Roanoke Catholic (Monday-Friday from
3:30 to 5:30 p.m.) are times that are not used by the Booster Club and are readily
available.
• It has enough fields and/or land to accommodate the majority of Roanoke Catholic's
needs.
• Required capital improvement costs fit within the available budget of Roanoke
Catholic.
It is important to note that the Vinton Booster Club, working in conjunction with Roanoke
County, had identified Vinyard Park for development as a premier sports complex. The
existing park master plan was recently updated to include a 300' baseball field, restroom
and concession building, lighted football game field, batting cages, trails, etc.
Recognizing that this potential partnership would generate interest and require cooperation
within the community, staff met with members of the Vinton Booster Club to determine their
level of interest. As the major user of these fields, the Booster Club's support was
essential prior to seriously considering a partnership of this nature. Staff met with
members of the Vinton Booster Club Board of Directors, as well as Vinton's representatives
to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. After receiving positive feedback from
all parties, staff scheduled a joint meeting between Roanoke Catholic school administrators
and coaches and the Vinton Booster Club Board. It was a very positive meeting with the
Vinton Booster Club Board strongly supporting the development of a partnership with
Roanoke Catholic School.
To ensure the success of the partnership, it was decided to create a Field Use Committee
comprised of members of the Vinton Booster Club, Roanoke Catholic School, and
Roanoke County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. The committee is responsible for
managing field use issues and coordinating schedules to ensure the smooth operation of
all programs. More importantly, the committee will maintain quality playing fields for all
parties.
The proposed improvements are estimated to cost $328,500. As part of the lease
agreement, Roanoke County and Roanoke Catholic will share development responsibilities
as follows:
Roanoke County:
• Expansion of the existing 200' field to a 300' field
• Addition of portable fencing for the baseball and softball fields
• Addition of bleachers to the football field
2
S-1
• Purchase and installation of goal posts
• Landscaping
These improvements have an estimated value of $65,000 which will be funded from the
initial payment of $80,000 when the lease is executed.
Roanoke Catholic:
• Installation of lights on the joint football/baseball field
• Expansion of parking and trails
• Construction of a restroom/concession stand
• Installation of football and baseball scoreboards
• Construction of dugouts and bleacher pads at the baseball field
These improvements have a combined value of $198,500 which will be paid to the
contractor of Roanoke Catholic's choice. All improvements shall be pre-approved by
Roanoke County and built to Roanoke County standards. In addition to capital
improvements, Roanoke County Parks, Recreation and Tourism will receive a total of
$65,000 for short and long-term maintenance and small improvements. These payments
will be spread over six years, with $15,000 received when the lease is executed and
$10,000 per year for the next five years.
The length of the agreement is 15 years with an additional 5-year renewal subject to
approval by the County. Following the 5-year renewal period, use will be on a year-to-year
basis. Any extension beyond the initial 15 year lease will require Roanoke Catholic to pay
yearly rental fees based on the existing field rental rates, less 25%. Included in the
agreement is a buyout clause that stipulates that if Roanoke County wishes to cancel this
agreement within the 15-year period, the County shall give two years notice plus pay the
value of the depreciated improvements.
Overall, staff feels this is an excellent opportunity for both Roanoke County citizens and
Roanoke Catholic School and recommends the Board support the proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The value of this agreement is $328,500. The lease has provided for additional and
routine day to day maintenance costs ($65,000), as well as providing for small capital
maintenance improvements. It allows Roanoke County to develop planned additional park
facilities, which are part of the long-range master plan, at no cost to the general fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative 1. Approve the attached ordinance authorizing the County to enter into a
lease agreement with Roanoke Catholic School for the expansion,
development and joint use of Vinyard Park for interscholastic athletic and
recreational purposes.

Alternative 2 Do not approve the proposed ordinance authorizing the County to enter

to enter into a lease agreement with Roanoke Catholic School for the expansion,
development and joint use of Vinyard Park for interscholastic athletic and recreational
purposes.

PETITIONER: Back Creek Enterprises, Inc.
CASE NUMBER: 31-12/2002
Planning Commission Hearing Date: December 3, 2002
Board of Supervisors Hearing Date: December 17, 2002 (Withdrawn by request of
the petitioner)
A. REQUEST
The petition of Back Creek Enterprises, to obtain a Special Use Permit to operate a
used automobile dealership, located at 6422 Bent Mountain Road, Windsor Hills
District.
B. CITIZEN COMMENTS
In addition to the applicant, Mr. Buford Overstreet, one other citizen, Mr. Tim Hash,
spoke. Both speakers were in favor of the petition.
C. SUMMARY OF COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Mr. Tim Beard presented the staff report. Mr. Thomason opened the discussion
asking about the general difficulties the applicant would have complying with all use
and design standards, particularly the planting strip which would parallel U.S. 221.
This regulation would remove a portion of the already very limited front parking area
from use by the petitioner and his potential customers. The overall shallowness of the
site was also a concern. Mr. Thomason asked if the applicant was already allowing
used car sales on his property to which staff responded affirmatively. Petitioner
Buford Overstreet stated that prior to applying for the S.U.P, he did not know that
permitting neighbors to sell their vehicles from his site was not allowed by the
ordinance. Mr. Thomason advised the applicant of local and state requirements
regarding dealer licensing. Mr. Witt explained that the proposed change in use
requires the applicant to obtain S.U.P. in order to sell more than two used vehicles
from the property. Mr. Robinson asked staff to confirm the zoning districts bordering
the subject property (C-2 bounded by AR and R-1) and the compatibility issues which
could arise. Mr. Overstreet considered withdrawing his petition, but requested the
Chairman allow another citizen to speak. Mr. Ross permitted Mr. Tim Hash to
comment on behalf of the petitioner.
D. CONDITIONS
• A maximum of six vehicles for sale shall be parked onsite at any time.
• No disabled vehicles shall be parked outside the garage bays.
• No vehicle repairs shall be performed outside the garage bays.
• Petitioner shall comply with all Use & Design standards.
E. COMMISSION ACTION(S)
Mr. Thomason made a motion to deny the request. Motion carried 5-0.
F. DISSENTING PERSPECTIVE
None.

PETITIONER: Cotton Hill Land Company, LC
CASE NUMBER: 23-10/2002
Planning Commission Hearing Date: November 5, 2002
Board of Supervisors Hearing Date: January 28, 2002 (Postponed from December
17, 2002 by request of the petitioner)
A. REQUEST
The petition of Cotton Hill Land Company, LC to Rezone 22.743 acres from AR
Agricultural Residential District to R-1 Low Density Residential District for a
development of single family housing located at Virginia Secondary Route 688
(Cotton Hill Road) and Raintree Road, Cave Spring Magisterial District.
B. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Approximately 15 citizens expressed concerns regarding increased traffic, the status
of improvements to Cotton Hill Road, conflicts with the Community Plan, decrease of
wildlife habitat, overcrowded schools, and possible damage to current wells near the
proposed development. Several citizens also expressed concerns regarding the
future of the nearby Roanoke Wildlife Rescue facility.
C. SUMMARY OF COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Mr. Chris Lowe presented the staff report. Mr. Witt began the discussion among the
Planning Commission by stating that a line had to be drawn somewhere concerning
approving higher density developments within areas that are not designated so and do
not have the public facilities and infrastructure to support them. Mr. Witt declared that
Cotton Hill would be a good start. Mr. Witt said that the other side of Cotton Hill was
primarily zoned R-1 and had higher density development occurring. Mr. Witt then said
that this side of Cotton Hill was exclusively AR and this rezoning would set a
precedent for the other properties along this side of the road. Mr. Witt made a motion
to forward a unfavorable recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Ms. Hooker
stated that the proffers submitted by the applicant provide some control on the way
this development can occur, specifically concerning entrances and driveways. Mr.
Robinson concurred with Ms. Hooker. Mr. Ross had concerns about incompatibility
with the surrounding AR zoning and incompatibility with the Community Plan.
D. CONDITIONS
1. There will be no driveways from Cotton Hill Road.
2. There will be one entrance to the subdivision from Cotton Hill Road.
3. The property will be developed to a maximum extent of 2.75 lots per acre.
E. COMMISSION ACTION(S)
Mr. Witt made a motion to deny the request. Motion carried 4-1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a rezoning request from AR to R-1 for 22.743 acres, at Cotton Hill Road. The propertyis
zoned AR, Agriculture Residential and is designated as Development in the 1998 Roanoke County
Community Plan. The petitioner requests to rezone the entire tract.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Building Permit for Single Family Home Required.
V DOT Entrance Approval Required.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
United States Department of Interior -The petitioned property lies to the north and down slope
from the Parkway. Between the Parkway road and the petitioned property there is a fairly dense
wooded area and Raintree Road, all within the Parkway's property. This provides a substantial
visual buffer for travelers using both the Parkway motor road and Parkway overlook. Utility
rights-of--way will not be required of the National Park Service, so there will be no direct or
secondary impacts from that use. The Parkway requests that the Parkway boundary be clearly
surveyed and marked by the developers on proposed lots, which share a common property line
with the Parkway.
The National Park Service's major concern is the continued growth on Cotton Hill Road and the
inevitable need to improve this secondary road. With that eventual improvement will come the
need to remove and rebuild the parkway overpass.
Topog_raphy/Ve~etation -The property has a ridge, which runs from south to north down the
center of the property. The property drops 100' from the top of this ridge in the south east corner
to the northwest corner. Swales run along both sides of the ridge following Cotton Hill Road to
the north and Sylvan Brook Road to the south. East Tennessee Natural Gas has a 50' easement
"'
from the northwest portion of the property to the western edge of the property. The property is
mostly open field with sporadic bushes and a tree line to the rear of the property.
Surrounding_Nei~hborhood -This property adjoins AR zoned residential properties to the
Southeast, Southwest, West, and Northwest ranging from 3-acre lots to 3/4 acre lots. Across
Cotton Hill Road are R-1 zoned residential properties ranging from 1/3-acre lots to 1-acre lots.
3. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Background -Current conceptual plans show a subdivision ranging from 44 to 57 lots.
Anticipated use is asingle-family neighborhood, which will fit into the existing community. The
proffered condition allows a maximum of 62 lots.
Site Layout/Architecture -The conceptual plans show two different possible layouts. One has a
main arterial drive with lots placed along this road. The second conceptual plan shows one main
arterial drive with multiple cul-de-sacs accessed off this arterial. Both plans access Cotton Hill
and are aligned with Monet Drive. Most lots show approximately 85' of frontage. No -
architecture plans have been submitted.
Access/Traffic Circulation - V DOT states that the development of this single-family residential
subdivision will have an impact on the peak hour traffic. Traffic on Cotton Hill Road is 2,300
VPD. Increased traffic as a result of this development would be approximately 440-620
additional vehicle trips per day. As a minimum a right turn lane will be required for the new
entrance. Additional right of way will be needed for construction of this turn lane. The
development of the proposed entrance will need to include the development potential for the
property south of the Parkway. A left turn may also be required.
Fire & Rescue/Utilities -Fire and rescue services will continue, as they currently exist. Public
water and sanitary sewer is currently available. This petition does not affect the existing public
water and sanitary sewer systems.
Department of Economic Development -The Department of Economic does not object to the
rezoning request from the petitioners to rezone from AR to R- l .
Long-Range I facts -Cumulative long-range impacts of this proposed subdivision as well as
others, include impacts on school populations and attendance zones, road improvements, parks
and recreation facilities, emergency services and other general services such as trash collection
and libraries.
The Park Service has noted in their comments their concern about road improvements and the
subsequent impacts on Blue Ridge Parkway facilities; the school administration has recently
dealt, at least in the short-run, with overcrowding at Back Creek Elementary by shifting school
attendance zones. There is the recognition on the part of staff that continued residential growth
has a direct impact on school capacities and other capital improvement needs such as roads and
park facilities. These capital improvement needs must be met in order to maintain a high quality
of life in Roanoke County.

4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The site is designated as Development in the 1998 Community Plan. Development designated
land use areas are where most new neighborhood development will occur, including large-scale
planned developments which mix residential, retail and office uses. Innovation in housing
design, environmental sensitivity by incorporating natural features and resources within the
developed area, greenways and bike and pedestrian trails are all key objectives of the
Development designation. Clustered developments are also encouraged. Without additional
information from the petitioner it is not possible to determine whether or not this proposed
development meets these objectives or not.
Land use types, which fall under the designation of Development, are Conventional Residential,
Cluster Residential, Multi-Family, Planned Residential Development, Planned Community
Development, and Community Activity Centers. The proposed petition would fall under the land
use type designation of Conventional Residential. This would include single-family
developments in conventional lots, which include attached, detached, and zero lot line housing
options. This petition is consistent with the Development designation of the Roanoke County
Community Plan.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
This is a request to obtain a rezoning from AR to R-1. The request involves a 22.743
acre tract off of Cotton Hill Road. The petitioner's request is consistent with the policies and
guidelines of the Roanoke County Community Plan. The site has ample space to conform to all
applicable development standards. No negative impacts are anticipated.

Applicant
Th~ ,nning Commission will study rezoning and special use permit requests to derermine the need and justification for the
chalis~ in terms of public health, safety, and general welfare. Please answer the following questions as thoroug'nly as possible.
Use additional space if necessary.
Please explain how the request furthers the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 30-3} as well as the purpose found
at the beginning of the applicable zoning district classification in the Zoning Ordinance.
The zoning of land in the subject area is basically single family residential.
The entire area has been developed as a close-knit cormiunity of single family
homes. The proposed zoning adds to this existing use in this area.
Please explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the Roanoke County Community
Plan.
- The guidelines and policies in the County's Comprehensive Plan call for
'appropriate uses of property so that they fit into a cormxanity. The use of
the subject property as single family residential will continue the
development of the subject area as single family residential. Appropriate
utilities are available for the development.
The 1998 Comprehensive Plan for Roanoke County designates this property as
development. Single family residential development, in a variety of fonmats,
is strongly recommended in the development area. Thus, the single family
residential zoning is a most appropriate zoning for this use.
Please describe the impact(s) of the request on the property itself, the adjoining properties, and the surrounding area, as well
as the impacts on public services and facilities, including water/sewer, roads, schools, parks/recreation and fire and rescue.
The physical impact on the adjoining properties will be minimal as the
development will continue the single family residential growth in the area.
Public utilities and facilities in the area have been and are being developed
to serve the property. Therefore, no negative impact is expected from the
development of the property as single family residential.

STAFF REPORT T-3
Petitioner: Mrs. Lois Atkins
Request: To obtain a Special Use Permit to operate a Home Beauty Salon in her home.
Location: 3105 Davis Avenue
Magisterial District: Windsor Hills
ProfferedlSuggested Conditions: None
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The petitioner has a documented medical infirmity that limits her mobility. She is
unable to work full-time. She cannot afford to lease space in a beauty salon because she can only work
part-time so, therefore, wants to operate aone-chair beauty salon from her home. Petitioner's property is
designated Neighborhood Conservation and this request is consistent with that designation.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Home Beauty Salons are allowed in the R-1 zoning district with a Special Use Permit. Use and Design
standards require the following:
The applicant shall submit documentation of an infirmity which prevents either the salon operator or a
permanent occupant of the dwelling unit from regularly leaving the dwelling to pursue gainful employment.
The salon shall be limited to one chair only.
The retail sales of beauty and barber supplies shall be prohibited.
Special Use Permit shall be granted for a period of one year and may be renewed administratively for
successive one year periods provided the administrator has not received written complaints from adjoining
residents.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background -The petitioner lives at 3105 Davis Avenue in asingle-family residence. She currently leases
a chair at a salon on Brambleton Avenue and shares that chair with her daughter. Her daughter works there 3 days
per week and Mrs. Atkins works there 2 days per week. Due to her medical condition she is not able to work there
more than 2 days. Her daughter is moving to Northern Virginia and Mrs. Atkins can not afford to keep up the
expenses of the chair on the income she receives working just 2 days per week. Therefore, she is requesting this
Special Use Permit to allow her to have aone-chair beauty salon at her home.
TopographylVegetation -The petitioner lives in asingle-family residence with asemi-circular, paved
driveway.
Surrounding Neighborhood -The property is surrounded bysingle-family residences in both the County and
City of Roanoke. Nearby is a church.

To whom it may concern at Roanoke County:
I am a hairdresser with a problem that could be solved by Roanoke County.
My daughter and Ishare-lease a station at a salon on Brambleton Avenue. She works
it 3 days and I work it 2 days. We share all our expenses which works well far me due
to the fact that I have foot problems that only allow me to stand and work afew hours
at a time. I have developed peripheral entrapment neuropathy in both feet and ankles. I
am under Dr. Donald Stefl~s care and am in constant pain. A letter from Dr. Stelf is
attached.
Now, on to the problem you can help me with. My daughter's husband has just
been transferred to Northern Virginia with his work, so she no longer will be here to
share expenses with me at our present location. I cannot afford, financially, to pay for a
station by myself since my feet will not allow me to work full-time. Thus, I am asking
you to permit me to have one chair in my home so I can afford to work a couple days per
week as my feet will allow. As I have explained to Mr. David Holladay, I would
appreciate the opportunity to continue to work, not being forced to retire, and to be able
to help pay for my health insurance since I am also a diabetic. I am a 57 year old woman
trying very hard to keep working and not give up. My husband and I have lived at the
same address for over 28 years. We have asemi-circular driveway which would more
than surface for the one, not more than two, client cars without interfering with
neighboring houses. We would never do anything to change or harm our neighborhood.
I would be working by appointment only, therefore having control of traffic.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter.

RE: Judy Atkins
To Whom It May Concern:
Ms Atkins has been a patient of mine since July of 1996 and has been treated for a
number of foot related problems. She is currently being treated for a peripheral
entrapment neuropathy of both feet and ankles. This condition, combined with
diabetic foot changes cause significant pain with prolonged standing or walking.
Current treatment has been somewhat helpful but final treatment may involve surgery
in the future.
~'is my understanding that Ms Atkins has requested that she be able to set up
a hair dressing chair in her home. This work situation would be very helpful to her
and would allow her to maintain her profession under more a controlled situation.
I am requesting that you allow her request for medical reasons. This modification
would allow her to work more years and minimize her pain.
Sincerely yours,
Doandl J. Stefl, DPM

1. The heliport shall be located on an existing graded area to the west of the
petitioner's home, at an elevation of approximately 1,150 feet.
2. The heliport shall be used during daylight only.
3. The petitioner shall forward copies of written approval from the State
Department of Aviation to the Roanoke County Department of Community
Development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Mr. Ricky May, wishes to operate a private aviation facility (heliport) on a 20.19-acre
tract, zoned AGl. The area of the proposed heliport is already graded. Mr. May plans a turf landing
area. No buildings are planned immediately, but Mr. May has indicated that he might eventually build a
small accessory shed for the landing area. No lights are proposed for the heliport.
The proposed heliport does not require new urban services. It requires no new land disturbance, and
would not change the existing rural residential development patterns. The petitioner's aircraft is used for
recreational purposes, and because of the size of the craft, would generate minimal noise during take off
and landings. The proposed use conforms with the policies and guidelines of the Community Plan.
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance requires that Private Aviation Facilities meet certain standards
with respect to notification of state and possibly federal aviation regulators, and to the distance of the
proposed facility from adjoining residences. The proposed heliport complies with, or can meet the zoning
ordinance standards for Private Aviation Facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Private Aviation Facilities are allowed by special use permit in the AGl zoning district.
Zoning Ordinance use and design standards for private aviation facilities are as follows:
1. Written approval shall be obtained from the State Department of Aviation, and when located within
five (5) miles of any commercial airport, written approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
2. No flight strip or heliport shall be located within five hundred (500) feet of any adjoining residential
structure, other than residences planned in conjunction with the private aviation facility.
3. Buildings and structures, such as hangars and maintenance sheds, shall be considered accessory uses to
the private airport, but shall otherwise comply with all requirements for a principal building or structure.
4. Nightime use and operation of a private airport shall be prohibited unless specifically approved as part
of the special use permit.

T-~}
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background - Mr. May built his home on the property in 1998. During construction of the home
and driveway, he graded an area that would serve as the heliport. He owns a small two-seat
helicopter, and has had a pilot's license for a number of years.
Topography/Vegetation -The property slopes up the north side of Little Brushy Mountain. The
petitioner's home and proposed heliport are located on a knoll where the slope levels, then drops
to the southeast, before climbing again up the north side of Little Brushy Mountain. All of the
land is wooded with the exception of the home site and proposed heliport.
Surrounding Neighborhood - Zana Road is a public street that serves ten homes. Typical lot
acreage on Zana Road ranges from 1 to 3.5-acre tracts, with the exception of the May's property,
which is 20.19 acres. Other properties adjoining the May's land are larger tracts ranging from 5
acres to 79 acres. The petitioner's property and all adjoining properties are zoned AG1,
Agricultural/Rural Low Density District.
3. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture -The area of the proposed heliport is already graded. Mr. May plans a
turf landing area. Some trees to the north side of the heliport may need to be removed to provide
a clear approach zone. No buildings are planned immediately, but Mr. May has indicated that he
might eventually build a small accessory shed for the landing area. No lights are proposed for the
heliport.
The proposed heliport complies with, or can meet the zoning ordinance standards for Private
Aviation Facilities. The site is greater than 6 miles from the Roanoke Regional Airport. The
proposed heliport is greater than S00 feet from any adjoining residence. If a structure is built in
the future, ample space is available to meet required building setbacks. Daylight use of the
heliport is proposed, and lights will not be needed.
Fire & Rescue/LTtilities -The proposed heliport has no impact on Fire and Rescue or Utility
services.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The petitioner's property is designated Rural Preserve in the future land use guide of the 1998
Roanoke County Community Plan. This designation is given to areas that are generally stable
and require a high degree of protection to preserve agricultural, forestal, recreational and remote
rural residential areas. The proposed heliport does not require new urban services. It requires no
new land disturbance, and would not change the existing rural residential development patterns.
The petitioner's aircraft is used for recreational purposes, and because of the size of the craft,
would generate minimal noise during take off and landings. The proposed use conforms with the
policies and guidelines of the Community Plan.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
The Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance requires that Private Aviation Facilities meet certain
standards with respect to notification of state and possibly federal aviation regulatory agencies,
and to the distance of the proposed facility from adjoining residences. The proposed heliport
2
' com lies with or can meet the zonin ordinance standards for Private Aviation Facilities. The ~~
P ~ g
proposed use also conforms with the 1998 Roanoke County Community Plan. No significant
impacts are anticipated.
Staff suggests the following conditions:
1. The heliport shall be located on an existing graded area to the west of the petitioner's home, at
an elevation of approximately 1,150 feet.
2. The heliport shall be used during daylight only.
3. The petitioner shall forward copies of written approval from the State Department of Aviation
to the Roanoke County Department of Community Development.

I~ CONCEPT PLAN CHECIi_LIST
/ ";oncept plan of the proposed project must be submitted with the application. The concept plan shall graphically depict the
and use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Further, the plan shall address any potential land use or
design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the
future use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County
permitting regulations.
The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plat plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building
permit. Site plan and building permit procedures ensure compliance with State and County development regulations and may
require changes to the initial concept plan. Unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed on
a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other
regulations.
A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver and variance applications. The plan should be
prepared by a professional site planner. The; level of detail may vary, depending on the nature of the request. The County
Planning Division staff may exempt some of the items or suggest the addition of extra items, but the following are considered
minimum:

CASE NUMBER: 29-1212002
Planning Commission Hearing Date: December 3, 2002
Board of Supervisors Hearing Date: December 17, 2002
A. REQUEST
The petition of Joe & Melissa Lankford, to rezone 6.15 acres from R-1 Low Density
Residential District to AR Agricultural Residential District located at 7604 Mount
Chestnut Road, Windsor Hills Magisterial District.
B. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Three citizens spoke. Two citizens expressed concern about the potential odor from
the animals. The third citizen expressed concern for the precedent agricultural zoning
would set in an area predominately zoned residential.
C. SUMMARY OF COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Ms. Janet Scheid presented the staff report. Mr. Witt noted that agricultural zoning
currently exists on the west side of Mt. Chestnut Road directly adjacent to the
petitioners' property. Mr. Thomason inquired about waste management. He also
questioned petitioners about the number of llamas and horses they would be keeping.
D. CONDITIONS
No chickens or pigs shall be kept on the property.
No more than 10 farm animals shall be kept on the property.
All animal waste shall be managed in a proper manner so as to not create a
nuisance or health hazard to adjoining or nearby property owners.
E. COMMISSION ACTION(S)
Mr. AI Thomason made a motion to approve the request with the conditions. Motion
carried 4-1 with Mr. Ross voting against the petition.
F. DISSENTING PERSPECTIVE
Mr. Ross advised that 10 animals on 6 acres was too many and he would be willing to
support a lower number.

STAFF REPORT ~ - 5
Petitioner: Joe and Melissa Lankfiord
Request: Rezone 6.15 acres from R-1 Single-family residential to AR, Agricultural Residential to allow
agricultural uses.
Location: 7604 Mt. Chestnut Road
Magisterial District: Windsor Hills
ProfferedlSuggested Conditions: 1. No chickens or pigs shall be kept on this property.
2. No more than 4 horses shall be keptlstabled on the property.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The petitioners own slightly more than 6 acres of property in aloes-density area of
the County. Their property is currently fenced and has an existing barn. They would like to keep 3-7 llamas
for their own personal use and enjoyment. This property is a part of the Back Creek Rural Village. The use
of this property for agricultural purposes fits very well into the Rural Village designation.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Agricultural Residential zoning allows agriculture and the keeping of farm animals by right. If this
rezoning is approved, petitioners would be allowed all uses permitted under the AR "Agriculture and
Forestry Uses" category including: agriculture, forestry operations, private stable, commercial stable and
wayside stand. Due to the property size, the zoning ordinance does not limit the number of horses that
could be kept in a private stable or a commercial stable. The Use and Design Guidelines for Agriculture
prohibit the keeping of swine in the AR district.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background -The property consists of 6.15 acres. The petitioners live on the property. Much of the
property is fenced.
TopographyNegetation - Most of the property is in grass. The entrance into the property is very steep and
continues to rise behind the house to the petitioners' property line.
Surrounding Neighborhood -The area consists of other single family homes on large lots ranging from 4
acres to more than 12 accres.
3. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture -The petitioners are not proposing any new buildings or structures. They want to
be able to stable 3-7 llamas for their own personal use and to keep their pastureland from growing up. In the
future, they may want to also have horses on the property.
AccesslTraffic Circulation - No impacts.
Fire & Rescue/Utilities - No impacts.
~^
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The petitioners' proposal is consistent with the Rural Village designation. This is an area where
high growth is discouraged and farming uses are encouraged.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request with the proffered condition as follows:
1. No chickens on pigs shall be kept on the property.
2. No more than 4 horses shall be kept(stabled on the property.

ne of Zoning Appeals is required by Section 15.2-2309 of the Code of Virginia to consider the following factors before a
variance can be granted. Please read the factors listed below carefully and in your own words, describehow the request meets
each factor. If additional space is needed, use additional sheets of paper.
1. The variance shall irot be contrary to the public interest and shall be in harmony with the intended spirit and purpose of the
Zoning Ordinance. ,
Z. The strict application of the zoning ordinance would produce undue hardship; a hardship that approaches confiscation (as
distinguished from a special privilege or convenient ~ and would prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property.
3. The hardship is not shared by other properties in the same zoning distri4~tt or vicinity. Such hardships should be addressed
by the Board of Supervisors as amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The variance will not be of a substantial detriment to the
acent properties or
character of the district.

design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the

regulations. '~,4

Re: Ordinance 121702-9 granting a SPU to Van and Teresa Johnson to operate
a commercial kennel on 2.657 acres located at 3900 Carvins Cove Road (Tap
Map No. 16.00-1-12), Catawba Magisterial District
It has come to my attention that the Tax Map No. in the title paragraph of the
above ordinance which was distributed after the December 17~' meeting was
incorrect. It was listed as Tax Map No. 16.00-2-12 and it should have been Tax
Map No. 16.00-1-12. However, the Tax Map No. in the text of the ordinance and the
map attached were correct.
I have corrected our records and am attaching another copy of the ordinance
for your files.

PETITIONER: Van & Teresa Johnson T--~
CASE NUMBER: 30-12/2002
Planning Commission Hearing Date: December 3, 2002
Board of Supervisors Hearing Date: December 17, 2002
A. REQUEST
The petition of Van B. & Teresa D. Johnson, to obtain a Special Use Permit to operate
a commercial kennel on 2.657 acres, located at 3900 Carvins Cove Road, Catawba
Magisterial District.
B. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Pendleton Smith spoke against the request because he believes that the dogs will
bark and disturb his family. He indicated that there were sufficient boarding facilities at
several veterinarian offices in that part of the county. He also voiced concerns about
the applicants not having any experience operating a commercial kennel.
C. SUMMARY OF COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Mr. John Murphy presented the staff report. The commission discussed the impact of
35 dog runs vs. less dog runs. They concluded that the impact would be the same.
The applicant indicated that 35 was the number that the family-run business could
handle. Mr. Ross inquired as to the appearance of the kennel building. The building
will be block and frame construction with vinyl siding and a vinyl or wooden 6' fence
for screening. Mr. Robinson confirmed that the dogs would only be housed for short
terms. Ms. Hooker wants the dogs to be housed inside of the building and not in the
outside runs after 7pm.
D. CONDITIONS
• 1. There shall be a limit of 35 dog runs allowed with this facility.
• 2. A septic system shall be required for the disposal of all animal waste for
this facility or another method approved by the Health Department to prevent
contamination of the adjoining creek.
• 3. There shall be a maximum of 10 feet of signage for the use. Any
freestanding sign shall not be lighted.
• 4. The dogs shall be housed inside the kennel between the hours of 7pm and
lam.
E. COMMISSION ACTION(S)
Ms. Hooker made a motion to approve the request with the conditions. Motion carried
5-0.

STAFF REPORT `~`_
Petitioner: Van 8~ Teresa Johnson
Request: Special Use Permit to construct and operate a commercial kennel for dogs and cats
on 2.65 acres.
Location: 3900 Carvins Cove Road
Magisterial District: Catawba
ProfferedtSuggested 1. There shall be a limit of 35 dog runs allowed with this facility.
Conditions: 2. Aseptic system shall be required for the disposal of all animal waste for this
facility or another method approved by the Health Department to prevent
contamination of the adjoining creek.
3. There shall be a maximum of 30 square feet of signage for the proposed use.
Any freestanding sign shall not be lighted.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a request for a Special Use Permit for the construction and operation of a commercial kennel for
dogs and cats at 3900 Carvins Cove Road. The parcel is 2.65 acres in size and is zoned AG-1. The applicant
has indicated the intent to develop the facility in compliance with the guidelines in the Rural Preserve
designation in the 1998 Community Plan. Staff supports the request with the recommended conditions.
1. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Commercial kennels are permitted in the AG-1 zoning district with a Special Use Permit.
The Use and Design Standards for commercial kennels are as follows:
(A) General
standards:
Each commercial kennel shall install and operate a kennel
silencer.
2. Animal waste shall [be] disposed of in a manner acceptable to the department of
health.
3. Crematoria or land burial of animals in association with a commercial kennel shall
be prohibited.
(B) Additional standards in the AG-3, AG-1, AR and AV
districts:
The minimum area required for a commercial kennel shall be two (2)
acres.
2. All facilities associated directly with the commercial kennel, whether indoors or
outdoors, shall be set back a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from any property line.
3. When adjoining a residential use type, a Type C buffer yard in accordance with
Section 30-92 shall be provided along the property line which adjoins the residential use
type.
4. The site shall front on and have direct access to a publicly owned and maintained
street.
Site Ian review shall be required.
P
VDOT entrance approval required.
AG-1 Sign Standards:.25 square feet of signage per foot of road frontage. Minimum road frontage for a
freestanding sign 200 feet. The road frontage for this property is 249 feet. Maximum area for a business
sign is 50 square feet. Maximum number of business signs is four (4). Maximum sign height is 15 feet.
2. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Topo rq aghylVegetation -The creek on the property is outside of the limits of the FEMA flood study area. It
appears that the water course may drain mare than 100 acres. A site flood study may be required as part of
site plan review process. The general area of the proposed kennel was graded at some point and there is
an embankment adjacent to the pad site providing some degree of a sound barrier for the neighbors
adjoining on the west side of the property. There are some mature evergreen and deciduous trees at the
top of this embankment providing screening. The rear of the remainder of the property is thickly wooded.
The property generally slopes from the north down to the south with the lowest side of the property along
Carvins Cove Road.
Surrounding Neighborhood -The neighborhood in close proximity to the subject property is made up of
tracts of at least 2 acres and the parcel across the road are 15 acre parcels and above. The adjoining
properties to the west and across the road are also zoned AG-1. All of the parcels from the eastern
property line of the subject property to the Roanoke / Botetourt County line are zoned AG-3. There is a
house on the adjoining parcel to the west which is the closest residence to the proposed kennel. At a
minimum the house is 150 feet from the kennel site. The kennel is proposed to be over 200 feet from
Carvins Cove Road and there is some mature vegetation that should screen the view of the facility from the
front of the property. The applicant has discussed the kennel with immediate neighbors and sent mailings
to property owners as far as''/Z mile away to solicit their input for the proposed project.
3. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Site Layout/Architecture -There is an existing brick house on the property with a paved driveway. There is
a gravel spur from the paved driveway to the general area of the kennel building. The facility is shown on
the concept plan as 100 feet from the adjoining property line. The staff evaluation of the concept plan
indicated that the building appears to only be 90 feet from this property line. In order to comply with the Use
and Design Standards, the building will need to be repositioned. There is sufficient area to reposition the
building in the same general area as shown on the concept plan.
Access/Traffic Circulation -Access will be from Carvins Cove Road. Carvins Cove is a public road with a
30-foot right of way and a 17-foot wide, paved road. The posted speed limit is 35 mph at the site. VDOT
will require the installation of a commercial entrance at or near the existing driveway entrance. VDOT has
concerns about additional storm water drainage concerns from the site to the right of way. VDOT has
indicated that the traffic count on Carvins Cove Road is 230 vehicles per day. The proposed use is a
destination for customers and does not just capture drive by traffic. There would be an increase in traffic
generation with the commercial kennel operation that is proposed. The site would need to be evaluated as
part of a site plan review to determine if the existing entrance and driveway is suitable. The applicant has
indicated that the possibility of a separate commercial entrance may be possible. This would require VDOT
approval and would be addressed as part of site plan review.
2
Fire & Rescue/Utilities -Fire and rescue services will continue as presently served. The site is served by a
private well and septic system. The applicant has discussed the use of a private septic system for the
kennel operation with the Health Department. Staff would strongly recommend this for proper animal waste
disposal.
4. CONFORMANCE WITH ROANOKE COUNTY COMMUNITY PLAN
The subject property is designated as Rural Preserve in the 1998 Roanoke County Community Plan. An
objective of this designation is to allow future development but employing design strategies that leave land
available for agricultural and open space uses. Another goal is to preserve rural views and vistas. The
Rural Preserve areas are mostly undeveloped, outlying lands. These rural regions are generally stable and
require a high degree of protection to preserve agricultural, forestall, recreational and remote rural
residential areas. The preferred land use types are agricultural production and services, parks and outdoor
recreation facilities, rural residential, mining and extraction operations and rural institutional. The rural
institutional use is generally geared towards religious assembly uses and clubs serving the rural population
base. Within the rural preserve designation specific resources are identified to be protected including
woodlands, critical slopes, historical and archeological sites, open space as well as rivers, creeks and
streams.
5. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
The applicant recognizes the significance of not stripping the vegetation from their agricultural land with a
Rural Preserve designation for their proposed commercial kennel. They have indicated that the proposed
facility would be screened from the public road and that they will work closely with the Health Department on
a private septic system for proper disposal of animal waste. Although commercial kennels are not
specifically referenced in the Community Plan, the applicant has indicated that they want an aesthetically
pleasing facility visible from their house, on the same parcel, as well as to provide screening from the public
road and protect the adjoining creek from contamination. These details are consistent with the Community
Plan and the request is supported by staff with the recommended conditions.

.TCflS'I'IFIC~,TION FOR VARIANCE REQiTEST ~° ~,,~
Applicant
ie of Zoning Appeals is required by Section 15.2-2309 of the Code of Virginia to consider the following factors before a
variance can be granted. Please read the factors listed below carefully and in your own words, describehow the request meets
each factor. If additional space is needed, use additional sheets of paper.
1. The variance shall not be contrary to the public interest and shall be in harmony with the intended spirit and purpose of the
Zoning Ordinance.
2. The strict application of the zoning ordinance would produce undue hardship; a hardship that approaches confiscation (as
distinguished from a special privilege or convenience) and would prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property.
3. The hardship is not shared by other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity. Such hardships should be addressed
by the Board of Supervisors as amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The variance will not be of a substantial detriment to the adjacent properties or the character of the district.

CONCEPT PT:-AN CHECh',IST
;oncept plan of the proposed project must be submitted with the application. The concept plan shall graphically depict the
'ad use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Further, the plan shall address any potential land use or
design issues arising from the request. In such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the
future use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County
permitting regulations.
The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plot plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building
permit. Site plan and building permit procedures ensure compliance with State and County development regulations and may
require changes to the initial concept plan. Unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed on
a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other
regulations.
A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver and variance applications. The plan should be
prepared by a professional site planner. The°level of detail may vary, depending on the nature of the request. The County
Planning Division staff may exempt some of the items or suggest the addition of extra items, but the following are considered
minimum:
ALL APPLICANTS

Hero puts heart into every donation
By ZEKE BARLOW SPECIAL TO
THE ROANOKE TIMES
Cecil Boone has scars he's proud o ~ ~~ ~ da a

The small, white masses of harder
crooks of his lumberjack arms are re
hours that he's spent lying on his bac
Wednesday was such a day. Just ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ °~
County, was at the downtown Red ( ~~~ 1,~'t

Cs~'~" ~ ~ ~vtl'~'
When he first starting donating h
usual donation of whole blood. But ~~ cy,~
platelets in 1987, Boone joined rigl 1f
times, which recently landed him in a national aona~w~, ~~u~~ ~~ ~....__. __
you added up all that time ,he's spent about 700 hours, or nearly one full
month, giving blood. Giving platelets takes more time than a usual
donation, but Boone doesn't mind.
For years after he started donating, he'd take unpaid time off his job at
Dominion Sign Co. to go to the Red Cross. It was six years before his
boss found out what was going on. He told Boone to donate on the clock
after that.
Platelets are essential in blood clotting and are often given to
leukemia patients, hemophiliacs or those undergoing organ transplants.
Once they leave Boone's body, they usually are in someone else's within
a few days.
"I feel like it's my duty," said Boone, a lifetime member of the
Clearbrook Rescue Squad. "If your health is good, you should do it." But
on Wednesday, giving the donation was more difficult than usual. For
five minutes, a nurse had to dig around with the needle in Boone's hand,
searching for an elusive vein.
Finally, she had to give up there and tap into the spot on his arm that
is scarred from so many needle sticks. The blood started pumping out,
filling a clear tube connected to a machine that separates the platelets

with a centrifuge. The remaining blood, then a degree or two cooler, was
pumped back into Boone's body. The entire process can take up to two
hours.
To help the time pass, Boone watched Animal Planet on a TV, dozing
off and waking up when he started snoring.
Ninety-nine minutes after the donation began, the buzzer went off,
signaling that the platelets had been withdrawn and separated.
Randy Lutz was giving his platelets in the bed next to Boone. Lutz
has been donating since 1993, when his son died from leukemia.
"How many you got now, Cecil?" Lutz asked Boone. Boone said that
was his 280th time. "I'm proud of you Cecil," Lutz said. "That's
amazing."

PLATELETPHERESIS
P~phynaent Plateletpheresis is a special program that allows you to donate the platelets that are
urgently needed by many patients critically ill with leukemia and cancer. To be a platele
Contact ~~ donor you must be willing to relax for 90 minutes, take a nap or enjoy a good movie.
Platelet donations are simple, safe and painless. Most important they help save lives.
,~lpheresis
What are platelets?
Platelets are the blood cells that promote clotting and help prevent excessive bleeding.
Unlike red cells, which have a shelf life of 42 days, platelets have a very short life span
and need to be transfused within 5 days of donation.
Who needs platelets?
Blood diseases like leukemia and aplastic anemia, as well as chemotherapy and radiati
borne used to treat many forms of cancer, can directly attack platelet production. A person wit
a low platelet count is in danger of bleeding to death from something as simple as a
nosebleed!

The Honorable Robert W. Goodlatte
U.S. House of Representatives
540 Crestar Plaza, 10 Franklin Rd
Roanoke, VA 24011
Dear Congressman Goodlatte:
You may recall that the U.S. Department of Agricultuue had. a sum of money to assist
fanners in Virginia for losses that they incun~ed as a result of the drought conditions during 2002.
It appears that the deadline to qualify for these monies was established as September 19, 2002,
although several Virginia localities were not aware of the deadline.
It is my understanding that the original sum of monies has been dep]eted and. was used
primarily for livestock losses. The Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County adopted the attached
resolution respectfully requesting your assistance in trying to find other monies that. might be used
by the U. S. Departlneilt of Agriculture to aid our local farmers. The previous program paid a
range of $13.50 to $31.50 per head of cattle for the losses incurred. Roanoke County farmers
have approximately 5,000 head of cattle that would have qualified under the earlier program.
Based on the attached resolution, use asl: that your office look to see if alternate funds may
be used or if another round of b-ants might become available to assist our farmers. Any assistance
that you can provide will certainly be appreciated. If you Dave any questions or need further
information, please contact me at 540-772-2.002 and we will have our staff assist you..
I hope that you and your staff have a happy holiday season.
