ITEM NUMBER .E -
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: November 21, 1995
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of request from the City of
Roanoke to form a Transportation District in
the Roanoke Valley
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Recommend approvd
BACKGROUND:
At several of the joint meetings with Roanoke City Council, there
was discussion on establishing a transportation district in the
Roanoke Valley. The issue has also been discussed with other
localities, and among staff from the City and County.
Subsequently, the Board of Supervisors expressed interest in
discussing this issue further with the understanding that all
revenues generated in the County from a Transportation District
would remain in the County.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Roanoke City will be losing considerable federal funding for its
Valley Metro system over the next several years with a loss of
$190,000 from 1994-95 to 1995-96. As a result, they are pursuing
other methods of funding to continue the system. Attached is a
letter from Roanoke City Mayor David Bowers providing additional
information on the formation of a Roanoke Regional Transportation
District. He has also asked that Vinton and Salem consider joining
the Transportation District.
A Transportation District would provide for an assessment of
additional taxes of up to 2% on each gallon of gasoline sold in the
City or County or any other locality who wishes to participate.
The program would be administered by a Transportation District
Commission with representatives from all participating localities.
Mayor Bowers has also forwarded a summary of the major points of a
proposed Roanoke Regional Transportation District. Among the
recommendations are that any revenues generated from the gasoline
tax in Roanoke County would be returned to the County to be used
for transportation purposes.
Consideration of this issue is of some urgency because the proposed
legislation must be presented at the upcoming General Assembly
session.
If the County participated in a Roanoke Regional Transportation
District, funds generated from a gasoline tax would provide an
additional revenue source to improve County roads. The revenues
could also be used to reduce other local taxes paid by Roanoke
County residents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated that $485,000 could be generated from the
transportation district gasoline tax in Roanoke County. However,
this must be offset by a reduction in the real estate tax rate or
other locally levied taxes by an amount equal to the amount that
would have been allocated for bus services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the
Chairman to appoint the appropriate County officials to meet with
similar officials from the City of Roanoke to develop a proposed
agreement that would be equally beneficial to both localities. If
an agreement can be reached, it will be brought back to the Board
of Supervisors for approval.

The Honorable H. Odell Minnix, Chairman
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors
Post Office Box 29800
Roanoke, Virginia 24018-0798
Re: Regional Transportation District
Dear Chairman Minnix:
Roanoke City Council is studying the formation of a "Roanoke
Regional Transportation District Commission" in accordance with
Virginia Code Section 15.1-342 et. seq., contingent upon the
Commission benefitting from a dedicated tax on the sale of motor
vehicle fuel sold within the Transportation District. The
formation of such a district was discussed at the most recent
City/County joint meeting. Approval of a district -wide motor
vehicle tax requires the subsequent reduction in the local real
estate tax rate, or other local levied taxes. The purpose of the
Commission would be to preserve and expand the mass transit system
within the district, to make the mass transit system safe,
convenient, and efficient for the citizens of the district it would
serve, and to provide such other transportation facilities and/or
services authorized by law that are consistent with more
efficiently and/or effectively transporting and facilitating the
movement of the citizens of the Roanoke Valley within the
district's jurisdiction.
As you know, such a Regional Transportation District has been
discussed among the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors, the City
of Salem, and the City of Roanoke and staffs from those localities
as well as staff members from the Greater Roanoke Transit Company
(GRTC). I understand that Elmer Hodge has advised Bob Herbert by
letter dated September 27, 1995, that the County might be agreeable
to participating in negotiations concerning a Regional
Transportation District.
Attached is a brief summary highlighting the major points that
would probably need to be included in any agreement among the
jurisdictions that would participate in such a Regional
Transportation District. Roanoke City Council would be generally
agreeable to the division and disposition of revenues generated, as
set forth in Mr. Hodge's letter of September 27, 1995. While the
Transportation District Act of 1964 allows a single jurisdiction to
form a transportation district if the surrounding jurisdictions do
not wish to participate in such a Commission, the City of Roanoke
'the Honorable H. Odell Minnix
October 26, 1995
Page 2
believes that it would be in the interest of all the citizens of
Roanoke Valley if Roanoke County (including Vinton) and the City of
Salem would also participate in a Regional Transportation District.
The formation of such a Transportation District would be contingent
upon each member jurisdiction dedicating the tax on motor vehicle
fuels to the Commission.
I am told that under Virginia law, only two transportation
districts are currently permitted to assess this tax. Two other
districts are expected to request General Assembly taxing
authority. For the Roanoke Valley to have this authority, too,
certain changes in the Code of Virginia will have to be made during
the next Session of the General Assembly if this district is to
become effective in the near future. I believe that it would be
advantageous to present a united request for such legislation to
the legislators representing the County of Roanoke, the City of
Salem, and the City of Roanoke. However, if either the County or
the City of Salem are not interested in participating in a Regional
Transportation District, then the City of Roanoke needs to know
this information so that we can conclude our analysis and make a
timely decision. Due to the time frame involved, I respectfully
request that you advise me at your earliest convenience of the
County's position on this matter so that we can hopefully schedule
negotiation sessions and meetings with the appropriate legislators.
I would appreciate a response by November 15, 1995, if possible.
Please respond to Bob Herbert's office by November 15. If you have
any questions in the meantime, please contact me or members of the
City staff or GRTC staff.
Best personal regards.
Sincerely,
a . W��
David Bowers _

1. The Roanoke Regional Transportation District Commission (RRTDC) would consist of the
geographical ares comprising Roanoke County, the City of Salem, and the City of Roanoke.
However, pursuant to the Transportation District Act of 1964, Virginia Code §§15.1-1342 et. seq.,
if any contiguous County or City does not wish to join in the Transportation District, then the City
or County proposing that District can constitute itself as a single member Transportation District.
If Roanoke County or Salem do not wish to join the District at this time, the remaining jurisdictions
could form a Transportation District or Roanoke City could elect to form a single member District.
(See §15.1-1345)
2. The purpose of the RRTDC would be to improve the transportation system in the Roanoke
Valley which is composed of the various transit facilities, public highways, and other modes of
transportation. The District would attempt to make the mass transit system in the Roanoke Valley
a safe, convenient, and efficient system for the citizens of the Roanoke Valley and to provide such
other transportation facilities and services that would be consistent with more efficiently and/or
effectively transporting and facilitating the movement of people within the Roanoke Valley.
3. After the Transportation District is created, a commission is created to manage and control
the functions, affairs, and property of the corporation and to exercise all the rights, powers, and
authority and perform all the duties conferred or imposed on the corporation. The Transportation
District is deemed to be a body corporate and politic pursuant to §15.1-1346. The District then
c Testes a conmission that has control over the corporation. (See §15.1-1347) The commission is in
charge of managing and controlling the functions, affairs, and property of the corporation and
exercises all the rights, powers, and authority conferred or imposed upon the corporation.
4. The commission consists of the number of members that the governing bodies determine to
be appropriate from time to time. The governing body of each participating County or City appoints
from among the men be of the governing body the number of commissioners to which the County
or City is entitled. There may also be alternate members appointed. (See §15.1-1348) Each member
of the commission must give a bond payable to the Commonwealth before entering upon the
discharge of his orher duties. (See §15.-1350). The proposal is that each component government
have the right to appoint one (1) conanissioner for every whole increment of 20,000 residents within
the portion of the participating County or City that is also within the District.
5. The commission must have regular meetings and they must be held at least once every month
at such time and place as the commission shall prescribe. (See §15.1-1352)
6. Section 15.1-1353 states that in order for a quorum and action to be taken by the commission,
"A majority of the commission, which majority shall include at least one commissioner from a
majority of the component governments, shall constitute a quorum. The Chairman of the
Commonwealth Transportation Board or his designee may be included for the purposes of
constituting a quorum. The presence of a quorum and a vote of the masority of members present,
including an affirmative vote from a majority of the jurisdictions represented, shall be necessary to
take any action."
7. All monies from any source whatever shall be collected, received, held, secured, and disbursed
by the commission in accordance with any contract of the commission relating thereto. (See § 15.1-
1355) It is the City's understanding that this provision along with the other provisions in the Act
would allow the commission to enter into contracts with the member jurisdictions as to how the funds
held by the commission could be used or disbursed and that this would be arranged in a manner
agreeable to all members of the District.
8. Virginia Code, §§58.1-1719, gL =., allows for the placing of a motor vehicle fuel sales tax
in certain transportation districts. At the present time this sales tax of 2% of the ECW price of such
fuel sold within the County or City composing the District is allowed in only two Transportation
Districts within the state. This is the area where legislation would have to be enacted by the
legislators from the Roanoke Valley to allow a similar 2% retail sales tax on motor vehicle fuels to
be placed on such fuel sold within Roanoke County, the City of Salem, and the City of Roanoke.
Unless the local legislators could obtain passage of the appropriate legislation for such a dedicated
sales tax, the formation of a Transportation District may not be feasible or appropriate at this time.
In connection with such a sales tax, §58.1-1721 provides that in the first full fiscal year in which the
sales tax is levied, the governing body of each County or City in which such tax is levied shall reduce
the rate of its real estate tax, or its estate tax and other locally levied taxes in an amount that will
reduce tax revenues in the following year by an amount equal to the amount which has been or would
have been allocated by the local governing body to the County or City for rail and bus services but
is, as a result of the imposition of this tax paid by the commission. As noted, the present legislation
only affects two Transportation Districts. These Code sections would need to be amended to
confonn to a Transportation District within the Roanoke Valley. This is legislation that needs to be
addressed in the immediate future if it is to be presented at the next General Assembly in 1996.
9. Another section ofthe Code that will need to addressed by the legislators is §58.1-1724 which
deals with the disposition of tax revenues. That section would need to be amended to provide that
the tax revenues that might be received by the RRTDC could be allocated between the member
jurisdictions and used by the number jurisdictions for any transportation purpose within their
eve jur sdicdO u. The amount allocated to each jurisdiction could be a figure agreed upon by
the commission and could be in an amount equal to the amount of fuel tax collected from each
respective judsc ictiont, less their prorata share of the commission's administrative expenses as
mutually agreed to by the component 80verrmwa However, the City believes that firnds from other
sources, such as any grants, etc., should retrain with the commission and be used for the benefit of
the district and the mass transit system being operated within the district.
10. The impact of a dedicated tax on the sale of motor vehicle fuels would be offset to some
2
zE-/
extent by the reduction in the real estate tax as required by the Code. The City is willing to discuss
this in further detail and perhaps consider a reduction in other taxes levied besides just the real estate
tax as allowed by the Code.
11. The City will transfer its equity in the Greater Roanoke Transit Company (GRTC) and the
equipment now operated by that company to the commission. The details of such transfer to the
commission can be worked out later, but the City does not anticipate this to be a problem in working
with the County or the City of Salem.
12. If an agreement can be reached on the concept of the Regional Transportation District at this
time, the County, the City of Salem, and the City of Roanoke should be able to arrive at a consensus
for a legislative package that can be presented to the legislators from each jurisdiction so that
appropriate legislation can be introduced at the 1996 General Assembly to allow the Code of Virginia
to be amended for the dedicated fuel tax to apply to any Transportation District that may be formed
in the Roanoke Valley.

AGENDA ITEM: Request from the City of Salem for assistance with
NCAA, Division III and Division II Championships
(Stagg Bowl and Basketball Final Four Championship)
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Recommend Approval
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Roanoke County currently provides $2,500 to Salem in support of the
Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. Salem now hosts more NCAA Championships
than any city in the United States. Salem is requesting that
Roanoke County consider an increase of its contribution by $1,500
in order to increase its exposure for the Stagg Bowl as well as
host the NCAA Division III Basketball Final Four Championship in
March 1996.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Salem, with the support of the Roanoke Valley, will
host the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl for the third year on December 9,
1995. The event has brought thousands of fans, players, coaches,
sports writers and other media to the Roanoke Valley. In addition,
those millions of sports fans have been introduced to the Roanoke
Valley through the ESPN network.
Salem has also been awarded NCAA Championships in baseball,
basketball and softball. These events will garner even more
recognition for the Roanoke Valley.
The fund raising committee has put together a combination package
for the sponsorship of both the Stagg Bowl and the NCAA Division
III Basketball Final Four Championship. Roanoke County currently
provides $2,500 (Silver Level). The Silver Level combination
package (description attached) costs an additional $1,500 for a
total of 4,000.
FISCAL IMPACT•
The Sponsorship Committee has requested that Roanoke County
consider becoming a Silver Level Combination Patron. An additional
$1,500 is available in the Economic Development Special Events line
item.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Continue support of Salem's effort to host a variety of NCAA
Division III and II Championships and more specifically retain
Silver Level Sponsorship of the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl at
$2,500.
2. Increase our overall support of Salem's effort to host a
variety of NCAA Division III and II Championships by becoming
a Silver Level Combination Patron, (Stagg Bowl and Basketball
Championship), increasing our financial contribution by an
additional $1,500 for a total of $4,000.
3. Take no action.
Staff recommends that the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors fund
Alternative #2 and authorize an additional $1,500 for the Silver
Level Combination Package. No additional funds are required this
year and future appropriations for these events will be considered
at budget time.

Recommend Approval
The Hanging Rock Battlefield and Railway Preservation Foundation
was recently awarded $549,300 by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) to construct the Roanoke Valley's "first"
greenway between the Hanging Rock area and the City of Salem.
The Foundation has been encouraged by VDOT to complete the plans
for the rails -to -trails project that were prepared for the 1995
ISTEA funding cycle. The 1995 grant award did not provide
sufficient funding to implement the entire plan. The Foundation
has developed Phase I project and has identified a preliminary list
of items for funding in a Phase II application.
-rne hanging Rock Battlefield and Railway Preservation Foundation is
seeking additional funding from VDOT to develop an Intersurface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) application for 1996.
The Foundation is requesting funding from Roanoke County, the City
of Salem, and local civic organizations for contributions to assist
them in completing the ISTEA application for 1996. The Foundation
estimates that an application can be prepared at a cost between
$4,000-$5,000. Roanoke County is requested to provide $2,500 of
that amount.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Economic Development Public -Private
Partnership fund.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: November 21, 1995
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Roanoke County to support the Virginia
Championship of the Archery Shooter's Association
Virginia Championship on June 21, 22, 23, 1996
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Joyce Waugh has worked very hard to help bring this event to the Roanoke Valley.
She deserves a lot of credit. Recommend Approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Virginia Championship of Archery Shooter's Association (ASA) is
one of six preliminaries held in the U.S.A. to qualify for the
World Championship. This is the first time the event has ever been
held in Virginia. The three-day Virginia Championship is a first
class event with guaranteed ESPN coverage, 1,000 - 1,500
professional, semi -pro and amateur (youth and adult) shooters. The
shooters use three-dimensional animal targets and the event draws
an estimated 4,000 - 5,000 visitors to the region. The host hotels
will be in Roanoke County with overflow at various other hotels in
the region. Estimated direct economic impact in other communities
ranges from $.8 million to $2.0 million.
Exposure of the Roanoke Valley would be significant including ESPN
coverage, national/ international companies (ASA sponsors) and to
the 4,000+ visitors for 3 days. Appalachian Power is providing, at
no charge, the approved 400+ acre site at Smith Mountain Lake and
an estimated $2,500 in support services (electricity, water, bush
hogging) for the event. Trebark Camouflage, a Roanoke County based
firm, has been our primary contact in attracting this event to the
Valley, with Sherry Crumley, Trebark's Vice President, serving as
Archery Roanoke Valley's President. Other valley governments and
organizations have offered to assist with this event through their
staff resources.
The County's investment of $2,500 in Public Private Partnership
funds and an estimated $2,500 in in-kind Parks and Recreation
assistance will leverage $5,000 to $10,000 in private funding and
an estimated $20,000 in additional public/private in-kind support.
Private funds are being sought under a newly formed 501(c)4
organization, Archery Roanoke Valley, which is composed of
representatives from private business, local governments (cities of
Roanoke and Salem, counties of Franklin and Roanoke, and Town of
Vinton) and non-profit organizations. The Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors readopted the Public Private Partnership Policy by
Resolution (72793-6) on July 27, 1993 to include tourism related

COMMITTEE AND PROVIDING FUNDING
WHEREAS, the County of Roanoke, Virginia ("County") is the
Grantor of a Cable TV Franchise Agreement ("Agreement") entered
into on May 1, 1991, by and between the County and Cox Cable
Roanoke, Inc. [now Cox Communications, Inc.] ("Grantee"); and
WHEREAS, the Agreement empowers the Regional Cable Television
Committee to monitor Cox Cable's compliance with the provisions of

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
Recommend Approval
BACKGROUND•
At the October 24, 1995 meeting of the Board of Supervisors,
one of the appointments listed in the agenda package was for Jo
Wirth as the parent representative to the Community Policy and
Management Team. It was noted that her term expired December 31,
1995. At the inception of the Roanoke County Community Policy and
Management Team, the Board of Supervisors appointed two parent
representatives and a private provider representative who are not
employees of public agencies. According to the bylaws, these
appointments are generally for a three-year term. However, for the
first year, the terms were staggered so that there would not be a
drastic change in membership at any given time.
At the present time, the following individuals and their
expiration dates should be in effect:

When the reports were submitted requesting appointment of Ms.
Wirth and Ms. Gliniecki, staff indicated a one year expiration
date. However, the expiration dates should have been in accordance
with the table above.
The Board of Supervisors is requested to ratify the above
expiration dates and staff will recommend appropriate individuals
for appointment when necessary. I apologize for the confusion in
the appointment process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing and Approval of a Storm Water
Management Program for Single -Family Residential
Subdivisions Under the Provisions of Ordinance
#112288-7 (Public Works Improvements)
5)a*309104�4
Recommend / / I /
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Board of Supervisors directed that a public hearing be
held to secure the comments of its citizens concerning the
establishment of a storm water management program for single-family
residential subdivisions under the provisions of the public works
improvements ordinance. After the public hearing the Board may
consider the adoption of a Resolution establishing a policy for
implementing this program.
Over the past year the Board has held work sessions:
(1) to consider the complaints of citizens with respect to
inadequate maintenance of storm water control facilities by
homeowners' associations;
(2) to consider regional storm water problems, including the
current regional study by the Fifth Planning District Commission;
(3) to consider the impact of federal legislation on this
issue, and the increased role and responsibility of local
governments to address this unfunded federal mandate; and
(4) to consider various alternatives for addressing these
problems.
On September 26, 1995, the Board decided to implement Staff
Recommendation #2 which utilizes the 1988 Public Works Improvement
ordinance as a limited response to this problem. Under this
approach, the County would maintain storm water management
facilities in residential subdivisions, upon agreement of all the
affected property owners in that subdivision, or after a petition
by 75% of the affected property owners, or by an affirmative vote
1
of two-thirds of all the members elected to the Board of
Supervisors. The method for financing these costs is through a
special assessment added to the property owners' real estate taxes.
The Board also directed staff to schedule a public hearing for
citizen comment on this special assessment process for addressing
storm water problems, and to outline the procedures, standards and
forms to be used to implement this limited storm water management
program.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The procedure for imposing an assessment for this "public
works improvement" is described in Ordinance 112288-7. The
improvements are ordered by the Board upon the adoption of an
ordinance, and the costs apportioned among the property owners.
If all the property owners agree, then the ordinance shall
authorize the execution of an agreement to administer this project
in accordance with County standards and regulations. The County
will identify the costs and assess or apportion these costs among
the abutting owners.
The property owners may deposit with the County the estimated
amount of the costs upon the execution of the agreement, or they
shall reimburse the County for the costs. A lien shall be recorded
against the real estate to secure the reimbursement of the costs.
If all the property owners do not agree, the project may be
ordered after the Board receives a petition of not less than 75% of
the affected landowners, or by a vote of 2/3 of all the members of
the Board.
The ordinance specifies the form and method of the required
notice, and provides for an opportunity to appear before the Board
to be heard on this project.
It is assumed that most of these projects will be commenced by
petition. Once a petition is received to implement a storm water
management project in a particular single-family subdivision, then
staff shall inspect the storm water management facilities to
determine their status with respect to County standards and prepare
an estimate of the cost of maintenance and repair. After the
required legal notices, the Board must adopt an ordinance
authorizing this project for each residential subdivision, and
establishing the apportionment of fees among the abutting property
owners. An abstract of this ordinance will be recorded among the
land records in the Clerk's Office as a lien against the property.
Staff recommends that projects be undertaken only at the
beginning of each fiscal year (July 1) , and that a "cut-off" of
2
February 1 of each year for the
property owners) be established.

In order to implement this program, staff sees the need for
additional inspection, engineering, administrative, clerical, and
construction (drainage crew) personnel that will be dependent on
the response of the various homeowner's associations that may
choose to participate. Our recommendation to the Board would be to
add an additional member to the current drainage crew. The crew
presently operates with only two permanent positions but has been
complimented since its inception with temporary employees. The
third position on the crew would not only allow for more efficient
work on current and future drainage projects, but would allow for
proper scheduling of maintenance of detention ponds that would be
requested by the citizens and homeowner's associations. Support
would come from the current Engineering & Inspections staff in
terms of administration, engineering, clerical, and inspection
requirements. The three-person crew would be a more efficient work
unit and could utilize equipment currently operated by the drainage
crew. Scheduling of the detention pond maintenance would be a
logical extension of the duties of the current drainage program.
It is estimated that the initial start-up cost would be
approximately $10,000 for equipment and supplies and an annual
operating expense of $30,000 to cover the salary of the additional
person. Proceeds from the assessments would go to offsetting these
costs, however, it is difficult to project the number of facilities
that the County may be requested to maintain in the first several
years.
In addition, there will be substantial administrative costs to
prepare the assessments and billings (Treasurer, Finance, and MIS)
and to prepare, record, and file the assessment liens in the
Circuit Court Clerk's Office (County Attorney).

I. Purpose
The purpose of the County of Roanoke Design and Construction
Standards for Detention Ponds is to establish a procedure for
requesting the County of Roanoke to accept the responsibility
for maintenance of above -ground Detention/Retention Facilities
that are located within single family subdivisions.
DETENTION BASINS
II. Design
A. Design of detention basins shall conform to the
requirements of the County of Roanoke Drainage Standards
(reference Sections 503.02, 503.03, and 505.02).

be proof -rolled (prior to the placing of any fill on the
site). The proof -rolling shall be performed with loaded
dump trucks or other (heavier) rubber -tired vehicles. It
shall consist of a minimum of four over -lapping passes of
the equipment with the latter two passes at right angles
to the previous passes. Any areas which rut, shove, pump
or fail to "tighten up" will be undercut and replaced as
specified below.
Slopes which are steeper than 3 to 1 (horizontal to
vertical) shall be benched or stepped prior to placing
fill on them. No fill shall be placed on a frozen
subgrade. The site will be graded at all times to
prevent ponding or surface water in fill areas.
B. Fill Material
If on-site soil is unavailable or unsuitable for fill,
then a borrow source may be utilized. Fill material
soils, in general,
1. Shall be compactable.
2. Shall be within an acceptable range of moisture
content which is readily controlled.
3. Shall not be highly susceptible to volume change

lifts. Each lift shall be spread in uniform layers.
Fill soil shall be utilized only within a moisture range
of +/- 5% of the optimum moisture content. Compaction of
the fill shall be performed with approved equipment.
Vibratory equipment is generally more efficient on
granular fill soils while sheeps foot equipment is more
efficient on fine grain soils. Compaction of the layers
shall be continuous and uniform. The fill work shall be
graded to prevent ponding or infiltration of rainwater
into the fill area.
D. Where the embankment is in a fill area, the embankment
material shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 8" and
shall be compacted to a minimum 95% density in accordance
with Section 303 of the Virginia Department of
Transportation Road and Bridge Specifications.

independent soils testing laboratory under the
direction of a qualified geotechnical engineer and
results of the tests shall be furnished to the
County of Roanoke as a condition of acceptance of
the facility by the County.
2. Sufficient field density tests, as directed by the
geotechnical engineer, shall be performed to
determine the degree of compaction. Any areas
which fail to meet the above requirements shall be
reworked and/or recompacted until the required
degree of compaction is achieved.
E. All disturbed areas shall be covered with 4" of topsoil
and seeded in accordance with Sections 602 and 604 of the

percent graded to drain to the principal spillway.
IV. Access
A. Access to the detention facility shall be provided by
means of an ingress/egress easement of a minimum 15 feet
in width where the slope of the access road is 0% - 8%.
1. Where the slope of the access road is 9% - 18%, the
access easement shall be a minimum of 20 feet in
width.
2. Where the slope of the access road is greater than
18%, the access easement shall be a minimum of 25
feet in width.
3. Slopes greater than 18% will be considered
acceptable for use as access roads to detention
facilities on a case by case basis depending on
suitability for providing access of machinery and
equipment to the individual facility.
B. Access road construction shall conform to the following
requirements:
1. Width of road shall be a minimum of 12 feet.
2. Road construction shall consist of 165#/sy asphalt
