Housing 1. In 2010, Roanoke County has developed incentives and a sliding scale of fees to encourage affordable housing. Housing costs have been addressed by controlling utility connection fees, erosion control requirements and waste disposal options. 2. In 2010, Roanoke County has a diverse housing stock meeting the demands of current and future residents. Dwellings are available in a range of prices, styles and designs to accommodate students, single persons, the elderly and families. Alternatives to single family ownership are being met by an adequate supply of apartments, duplexes, attached housing, senior services and nursing homes for rent. 3. In 2010, Roanoke County has managed a healthy economic growth while protecting and maintaining its natural resources. Through careful planning and orderly development, our natural resources have been protected to ensure the quality of life forfuture generations. Open spaces and greenways have been provided through the use of cluster development and innovative site design concepts. 4. In 2010, Roanoke County has taken a leadership role in valleywide cooperative efforts to hold the cost of public services to a relatively low level. Services have been extended, in . a planned and orderly manner, to meet housing demands Chapter 3: Land Use Issues 3. NEIGHBORHOODS Introduction Our basic instincts and human nature seek a sense of community, a sense of place where we live, work and play. In Roanoke County, neighborhoods are the backbone of the community. Residents of the County identify very closely to their own neighborhoods and especially to their elementary school districts. This is exemplified by the high attendance at elementary school Parent Teacher Association meetings and youth sports events, festivals and social events that are held at the neighborhood level. The results of the 1995 visioning citizen survey showed that residents associate more closely with their own subdivisions and neighborhoods than with the County as a whole. This makes it very important to preserve community meeting places such as neighborhood schools, fire and rescue buildings, community centers and community stores. These meeting places serve the same function as neighborhood taverns in more urban locales. It also becomes more critical to preserve those natural, historical and cultural features of a neighborhood that lend uniqueness and that feeling of being home - a sense of place - to the area. Many neighborhoods in Roanoke County are reaching middle-age - they were built in the late 50's, 60's and early 70's. These communities provide an abundant source of good, affordable housing to citizens throughout this region. It is important to preserve the stability of these areas by finding creative ways to maintain property appearances and housing integrity, thereby maintaining property values in these communities. Some older Roanoke County neighborhoods will continue to feel pressure for redevelopment as large tracts of commercial property become harder and harder to find. It is important to encourage community redevelopment and infill development along appropriate road systems and in appropriate commercial service areas. If we as a community are successful in managing growth - encouraging and directing growth toward those areas of the County that can support it - preserving viewsheds and open space and retaining an agricultural base, we need to recognize that there will be more and more pressure for infill development and the redevelopment of existing sites in the more urban areas of the County. This will require some changes in densities and uses in what used to be stable neighborhoods and must be done with appropriate design guidelines, citizen input and the involvement of commercial interests. Goal Continue to recognize the importance of Roanoke County neighborhoods and work to preserve the institutions and natural, cultural and historical features that help to define these communities. Chapter 3: Land Use Issues Issues and Opportunities •Many Roanoke County neighborhoods have active civic leagues and community watch programs. In addition, as a part of the Community Plan process, neighborhood councils were formed in each of the twelve community planning areas around the County. •Roanoke County elementary school Parent Teacher Associations often have participation at the one-hundred percent level. •There is a long-term tradition and commitment to neighborhood schools in Roanoke County. •Many Roanoke County neighborhoods were built almost 40 years ago. These areas are, to some extent, beginning to show their age and require more and more maintenance and upkeep. •The older neighborhoods in the County provide a good source of affordable housing. •Some of the older Roanoke County neighborhoods, that are located in close proximity to commercial centers and primary road access, are subject to redevelopment pressures from commercial interests. •Most Roanoke County neighborhoods are very dependent on the automobile with very limited pedestrian trails and sidewalks. •County neighborhoods tend to be very stable. •There are only a few neighborhoods in the County that have a mix of residential densities or commercial uses. •The strong economic base of the County has meant that property values are steadily increasing. •Youth sports events - such as little league, soccer and softball - are great opportunities for neighborhood friends and acquaintances to meet and greet. •The Roanoke Valley provides a beautiful and relatively clean place to live. •There are a good variety of housing options and price ranges in the County. •Some types of housing and housing communities, such as cluster developments and mixed-use developments, are not widely available in the County. Chapter 3: Land Use Issues •The County has a high quality of life that manifests itself in low crime, little traffic congestion, abundant natural resources and good schools. • There are some areas of the County where substandard housing exists. •There are not “housing maintenance or upkeep” provisions in the County zoning ordinance, County Code or Building Code. It is sometimes difficult to correct problems of this nature. Objectives A. Protect the uniqueness and special characteristics of each Roanoke County neighborhood. B. Protect the scenic beauty of Roanoke County while allowing for appropriate economic development. C. Require land development patterns that preserve open space. D. Ensure that all Roanoke County citizens have access to safe and affordable housing. E. Protect the property values of all citizens. F. Promote the use of a “liveable traffic” design model - one that values neighborhood appearance, saleability and pedestrian friendly aspects of transportation equally with ease of traffic movements. G. Provide all County residents easy access to community parks, ballfields and greenways. H. Encourage alternative modes of transportation around neighborhoods such as walking and bicycling. Implementation Strategies 1. Continue to support the concept of neighborhood schools, recognizing the important function they play in community identity. (Obj. A) 2. Continue to foster the neighborhood councils by expanding their role and developing neighborhood specific plans. (Obj. A) 3. Research the efforts of other communities and implement programs to assist in the maintenance and upkeep of our older neighborhoods. (Obj. E) Chapter 3: Land Use Issues 4. Develop planning strategies to guide commercial development, community redevelopment and infill development while preserving neighborhood stability and property values. (Obj. A, E) 5. Revise the County zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance to encourage, where appropriate, sidewalks and greenways throughout new residential developments and connecting neighborhoods and commercial and institutional areas. (Obj. F, G, H) 6. As we work to preserve the more rural areas of Roanoke County, revise the zoning ordinance to allow slightly higher infill development in existing neighborhoods. (Obj. A, B, C, E) 7. Continue to seek community input on all rezoning requests. (Obj. A, E) 8. Encourage community meetings for all rezoning requests. (Obj. A, E) 9. Make the necessary revisions to the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance to allow by right, cluster developments and mixed use developments, where appropriate. (Obj. A, B, C, E) 10. Identify substandard housing and seek solutions to alleviate these conditions. (Obj. D) 11. Research the need for housing maintenance regulations to mitigate problems with unkempt property. Develop, if necessary, appropriate regulations. (Obj.

Secondary Roads System Six-Year Improvement Plan for FY 2009-2015 A.Introduction Roanoke County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are continuously reviewing and updating the Secondary Roads SystemSix-YearImprovement Plan. Staff receives requests throughout the year concerning secondary roads in Roanoke County (roads with route number 600 or greater). Theserequests arethenreviewed and classified as maintenance or construction. Maintenance items are activities involved in preserving or restoring the roadway, facility, or structure to its original condition. Maintenance requests are normally referred to VDOT’s Resident Administrator for immediate correction. In previous years, maintenance requests could be considered for placement on the Revenue Sharing list; however, maintenance projects can no longer be fundedwith Revenue Sharing funds. Construction improvements are operations which usually require more than one fiscal year to complete, and which change or add to the characteristics of a road, facility, or structure. Construction requests are placedon file to be reviewed during the Six-Year Plan and Revenue Sharing yearly updates. These requests normally require right-of-way, additional fundingand/or preliminaryengineering. Each year, VDOT and Roanoke County staff review and evaluateeach request for inclusion in theSix-Year Plan and Revenue Sharing Program. In deciding which projects to include, staff considerstraffic counts, existing and future development, pavement conditions, drainage, safetyand the economic benefitof the project. All requests received cannot be funded due to budget constraints;therefore, requests are prioritized based upon the abovecriteria. The Board of Supervisors is required by the Code of Virginia to approve the priority of projects identified within the Secondary Roads System Six-Year ImprovementPlan. In order for a project to remain on the Six-Year Plan it must receive sufficient funding to advance the project to the next phase (i.e. preliminary engineering, right-of-way, construction). $3.76million Roanoke County received last yearfrom VDOT for its secondary road $1.58 system construction program. Roanoke County’s expects to receive approximately million for FY 2009/2010, a decreaseof $2,171,952. County-Wide Incidental Thereare two funding categories in the Six-Year Plan: Construction ItemsNumbered Projects. andThesecategorieswill be defined and the projects will be presentedon the following pages. B.County-Wide Incidental Construction Items VDOT defines incidental improvements asany operation, usually constructed within one year, which changes the type, width, length, location, or gradient of a road, facility, or structure.

County staff previously received the final report prepared by Engineering Concepts, Inc. in 2007 to determine the feasibility of seven Rural Addition Projects. Based on that report and correspondence with adjacent property owners, staffhascompleted an evaluation of the top seven projects and hasupdated the 2009/2010 Rural Addition Priority List. On July 22, 2008 the Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 072208-1-0.d to remove Cowman Road, Luckado Street and Raintree Road from the Priority List due to lack of citizen participation with regards to speculative interest. The Resolution also added Ivyland Road and Huffman Lane to the Rural Addition Priority List. Currently, staff has contacted the property owners along Kathryn Drive and Southview Drive and recommends these projects be removed from the Rural Addition Priority List due to their lack of interest in contributing to speculative interest. Staff is proceeding with the preliminary engineering for Harmony Lane and Alcoa Road. 2009/2010Rural Addition Priority List Year Families Comments*Estimated CostAdded to RoadDistanceServed List Chestnut 500’6Construction in Summer2009.$65,4371990 Mtn.

Priority number () is not scheduled toreceive funds this year, but mayreceive funding in future years. Priority 6John Richardson Road number () has had the project rescoped and has sufficient funds to construct the revised project. 3. PROJECTS ADDED TO/REMOVED FROM THE FY 09/10 PLAN There were no projects addedto the FY 2009-2015Plan.Several projects were removed from Mountain View Road, Buck Mountain Road, Dry Hollow Road, the plan including Merriman Road, Shadwell Drive, Hardy Road and Moncap Trail. Mountain View Road Fall 2007Buck Mountain Road, Dry Hollow Road, construction was completed . Merriman Road, Shadwell Drive, Hardy Road and Moncap Trail were removed due to insufficient funds. 4. UNPAVED ROAD PROJECTS IN PLAN FY 09/10 Unpaved roads are a separate account and the allocation is based upon the number of 2.27miles(19.21total qualifying lane miles within each County. Only of our unpaved roads miles) qualify for funding because they meet the minimum 50 vehicles per day requirement. Those gravel roads that are part of the current SecondaryRoadsSystemSix-Year Rocky RoadPriority #7 ImprovementPlan are ,.RockyRoad will receive funding in FY 2009/2010.VDOT has informed the County that unpaved roads will no longer be funded in future years.

A.Introduction The Virginia Department of Transportation’s(VDOT) Revenue Sharing Program annually provides Roanoke Countythe opportunity to receive State matching funds for the constructionand improvement to primary and secondary roads in the State’s highway system. In the past, the Commonwealth of Virginia provided$15 million for the matching program and limitedlocalities to $500,000 each.Last year, the State allocated $50 million for this program with the maximum state participation being $1 million per locality. The program also allows cities and towns the option to participate. Application for Revenue Sharing Program funding must be made by resolution of the governing body of the jurisdiction in which the road is located. Project funding is allocated by resolution of the Commonwealth Transportation Board. Construction may be accomplished by VDOT or, where appropriate, by the locality under an agreement with VDOT. B. Revenue Sharing Projects The following is Roanoke County’s 2009/2010 priority Revenue Sharing Project to be completed in the 2010 construction season. C. Projects Considered But Not Funded The following projects were considered for inclusion in the FY 2009/2010 Revenue Sharing Program but were not added. Ardmore Drive, Rte. 1835County staff received a request to repave and construct a new turn around on the road. A site visit with VDOT confirmed that the existing pavement and cul-de-sac are in good shape. Carvins Cove Road, Rte. 740County staff received a request to repave and widen the road. A site visit with VDOT confirmed improvements are not warranted. Concord Place, Rte. 1616County staff received a request to construct a cul-de-sac at the end of state maintenance. The County will consider this project for inclusion ona future list. Hunting Hills Drive, Rte. 1541County staff received a request from VDOT to replace the existing 48 inch pipe. The County will consider this project for inclusion on a future list. Mill Creek Road, Rte. 889County staff received a request to pave a portion of this roadway. The current AADT is 40 VPD; a road must have 50 VPD to qualify for the Rural Rustic Program. A traffic county was conducted by VDOT in March 2008 showing a traffic county of 29 VPD; Roanoke County will be counted in 2009 for the normal 3 year cycle. Pinevale Drive, Rte. 1601County staff received a request for traffic calming on this roadway. VDOT performed a review and determined the average speed is at least 5 MPH over the posted speed limit. The County iswaiting on the signed petition from the citizens requesting the traffic calming. Two Ford Road, Rte. 690County staff received a request to construct a cul-de-sac at the end of state maintenance. The County will consider this project for inclusion on a future list. Webb Road, Rte. 615County staff received a request to pave a portion of this roadway and install guardrail. The current AADT is 30 VPD. Roanoke County will be counted in 2009 and if the AADT is greater than 50 VPD the project can be added to the Rural Rustic Program. Willetta Drive, Rte. 1615County staff received a request for traffic calming on this roadway. VDOT performed a speed study and the average speed does not meet the technical requirements to warrant traffic calming.
