HomeMy WebLinkAbout2/25/1997 - Adopted Board RecordsAT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1997
RESOLUTION 022597-1 REQUESTING VDOT TO CONTINUE FUNDING
PROJECTS CURRENTLY ON THE PLAN AND ADOPT THOSE PROJECTS
IDENTIFIED AS "PROJECTS NOT ON PLAN" FOR INCLUSION INTO THE
1997-2003 PRIMARY AND INTERSTATE SIX YEAR IMPROVEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, the Six Year Improvement Program is the Commonwealth
Transportation Board's plan for identifying funds anticipated to be
available for highway and other forms of transportation
construction; and
WHEREAS, this program is updated annually to assist in the
allocation of federal and state funds for interstate, primary, and
secondary roads.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County,
Virginia as follows:
1. That the following projects identified as "Projects on
Plan" are recommended to continue to receive funding for planning
and construction; and
• Route I-81 - Roanoke County is very supportive of the
Virginia Department of Transportation's proposed plan to
increase the number of north and south travel lanes.
Roanoke County is requesting that consideration be given
to improving all interchanges and investigate the
possibility of constructing an additional interchange
between Wildwood Road (Route 619) and the interchange at
Dixie Caverns (Route 460). Increased urbanization,
availabilities of utilities, and the potential for
industrial development within the area justify the
investigation of another interchange to serve this
portion of Roanoke County. The average annual daily
traffic estimates for I-81 range from 39,000 to 42,000
from Montgomery County to Botetourt County.
• Interstate 73 - Roanoke County is very supportive of this
project through southwest Virginia and looks forward to
reviewing the Transportation Board and Consultant's
1
proposed conceptual alignments within the Route 220
corridor.
• Route 221 (Bent Mountain Road) - Roanoke County is
requesting continued allocation of funds for this 2.3
mile road project. The residential development projected
to occur within this area will place additional demands
on the road system that is currently providing an
inadequate service level. Current traffic counts for
this section show approximately 10,000 vehicles per day.
• Route 220 South - Roanoke County is pleased with the
feasibility study to improve and widen this road from
Roanoke to Martinsville and look forward to discussing
the recommendations and findings of the consultants with
VDOT.
2. That the following projects identified as "Projects Not
on Plan" have been identified by the Board of Supervisors as
extremely important to the growth of Roanoke County and are
requested to be included in the VDOT Six Year Improvements Program
for the 1997-98 Fiscal Year.
They are listed in priority order.
1. Route 11/460 (West Main Street)
Need: With the widening of West Main Street to four
lanes within the City of Salem, there is a need to
continue the four lanes of Route 11/460 to the existing
four lane section west of Technology Drive (Route 830)
2.03 miles. These improvements are needed to provide
uniformity of road section, to address traffic
congestion concerns along the road, and to provide a
safer roadway for the residents and commercial vehicles.
This area of the County is growing, and development over
the past two years has increased dramatically. R. R.
Donnelly and Sons Company, Rusco Windows, Frito Lay and
Richfield Retirement Facility have all built new or
expanded facilities in that area, adding 432,200 square
feet of industrial and commercial space in the area.
Additionally, Kroger plans a major expansion and
renovation at its existing facility within the near
future.
Traffic Counts: From the Salem city limits to Alleghany
Drive, 17,000 trips per day; and from Alleghany Drive to
2
Fort Lewis Church Road, 14,000 trips per day. Currently,
Kroger and R. R. Donnelly generate 1,300 tractor trailer
truck trips per week, with this number expected to
increase by 50% in the next two years. This stretch of
road is an alternate route when I-81 lanes are blocked,
which has occurred several times over the past several
years, causing major congestion and safety risks for the
community.
Recommended Improvements: A five -lane highway with
appropriate turning lanes.
Cost: $10,000,000 - $12,000,000.
2 Route 11 (Williamson Road)
Need: Now that Route it has been widened from Plantation
Road (Rte. 115) to Hollins College, there remains one
section of three lane road from Peters Creek Road (Rte.
117) to the Roanoke City Limits. Additionally, the
existing bridge over Carvins Creek does not meet current
standards, and the realignment of Florist Road with Route
11 have created additional congestion and safety
concerns. The existing section of road, 1.52 miles, is
a three -lane with the center lane used for turning
movements. Ninety percent of the tracts adjacent to
Williamson Road are developed for commercial use.
Traffic counts: 15,000 vehicles per day from the Roanoke
city limits to Peters Creek Road. This stretch of road
has also been identified as an alternate route in the
event of a blockage on I-81/581.
Recommended Improvements: A five -lane highway with
appropriate turning lanes, which will complete
improvement of Williamson Road from the city limits to
the Botetourt County line.
Cost: $10,000,000.
3. Route 115 (Plantation Road)
Need: The existing road, 2.43 miles, is two lanes with
numerous side connections to residential neighborhoods.
The road needs to be improved from Roanoke city limits
north to Route 11. If full funding are not available,
various spot improvements, such as turn lanes, alignment
and grade improvements, would help with safety issues.
Additional land is available along the road for future
development, which will increase traffic in the future.
3
Traffic Counts: From the Roanoke city Limits to
Williamson Road, 11,000 vehicles per day.
Recommended Improvements: Four lane divided highway with
appropriate turning lanes.
Cost: $12,000,000 - $15,000,000.
Other primary roads in Roanoke County which deserve
consideration for improvements:
ROUTE 419 (ELECTRIC ROAD), ROUTE 116, (JAE VALLEY ROAD),
ROUTE 118, (AIRPORT ROAD), ROUTE 311, (CATAWBA ROAD),
ROUTE 24, (WASHINGTON AVENUE), ROUTE 460, (CHALLENGER
AVE.)
3. That the Board of Supervisors request that the
Commonwealth of Virginia create an expanded pool of funds to meet
increasing transportation needs throughout the State.
On motion of Supervisor Minnix amended by Supervisor Harrison
to adopt the resolution, and carried by the following recorded
vote:

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, IN REGULAR MEETING
ON THE 25th DAY OF FEBRUARY 1997, ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING:
RESOLUTION 022597-2 REQUESTING A $100,000 GRANT FROM THE
VIRGINIA SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION BOARD FLOOD PREVENTION
AND PROTECTION ASSISTANCE FUND.
WHEREAS, Roanoke County participates in the National Flood
Insurance Program and is a Class 9 Community in good standing, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors entered into an agreement
with the United States Army Corps of Engineers in June 1995 for the
purpose of obtaining digital mapping of Roanoke County, and
WHEREAS, federal funding for fiscal year 1997-98 has been
reduced for this project, and
WHEREAS, local matching money in the amount of $100,000 is
available for matching this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors
of Roanoke County does hereby request assistance in the amount of
$100,000, as a grant, from the Commonwealth of Virginia Flood
Prevention and Protection Assistance Fund, for the purpose of
obtaining digital mapping as outlined in the application for the
project entitled "County of Roanoke Digital Mapping Project."

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 25, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: Request to the Planning Commission to consider
amending the zoning ordinance to require a
Special Use Permit for Broadcasting Towers in
Industrial and Commercial Zoning Districts
K610 \ 41M ► 01 • 1111 Y
We should begin the process immediately to require a Special Use Permit for all towers, at least
until the committee has completed its study. I expect this study to be as successful as the Blue
Ridge Parkway study was. I anticipate that we will bring to the Board a report that both the
industry and the County can support. Because of that, we will need a review process with
approval by the Board.
Since January 1993, Roanoke County has regulated the
placement of broadcasting towers within the County. Such towers
are used for a variety of purposes, most commonly as a structure
upon which an antenna is placed. These antennae receive and
transmit information for uses such as private radio
communications, radio/television broadcasting signals, and
wireless phone signals.
These towers are regulated by special use permit in AG3,
AG1, AR, and C1 zoning districts. They are a prohibited land use
in the AV and all residential zoning districts. Towers are
allowed as a by -right use in C2, I1 and I2 zoning districts. Use
and Design Standards exist for any tower constructed.
Since 1993 the Board has reviewed six special use permit
requests for broadcasting towers. Four requests were approved,
and two requests were denied. One request was reviewed in 1993,
two requests each, in 1994 and 1995 and one request in 1996. Of
the four approved requests during this period, two were never
constructed, and the special use permit authority has
subsequently expired.
2
In addition to the six special use permits reviewed, one
tower was constructed by right in an industrial zoning district.
This tower was constructed within the last month, in the Benois
Road area of Roanoke County.
In February of 1996 the Federal Telecommunications Act (the
Act) was passed by Congress. The Act is wide-ranging in its
effect, and provides new guidelines for localities that choose to
regulate the placement of broadcasting towers. Both the Planning
Department's staff and the County Attorney's office have been
involved in researching the Act's provisions and their
applicability to the County. To this end, and at the Board's
direction, the staff has convened a committee comprised of
communication industry representatives, local government
representatives, and interested citizens. The purpose of the
committee is to review our existing policy guidelines and
ordinance provisions(including Use and Design Standards) for
broadcasting towers.
Although Roanoke County has seen a steady level of tower
requests within the last four years, the adoption of the Act and
the forthcoming next generation of digital communication
technology creates the potential that the number of tower
proposals will rise sharply within the near future. Our policy
committee will be researching the potential for tower
proliferation in this area given our population demographics and
market demand for communication services.
Our current regulations that allow broadcasting towers by
right in C2 and industrial zoning districts permit the placement
of towers in these zoning districts based upon an administrative
review of zoning compliance. A zoning ordinance change to permit
broadcasting towers by special use permit in these districts will
allow the Planning Commission and the Board to evaluate future
tower proposals for compliance with the Act, our local
comprehensive plan, and the impact of the proposed tower on the
general community.
The policy committee will be presenting a comprehensive set
of recommendations for the Commission's and Board's consideration
within the next six months. Implementing the committee's
recommendations may require future code changes. Adopting an
amendment at this time will insure that all towers are properly
reviewed by the community during the committee process.
• 414 ION U67.11Y
Staff recommends as follows:
1. That the Board of Supervisors
Commission prepare an amendment to
would permit broadcasting towers as
I2 zoning districts.

AGENDA ITEM: Request from the School Board to amend the School
Operations Budget to recognize additional revenues
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND: State funding for school divisions is determined by
the average daily membership (ADM)based on the student count on
September 30 and March 31 of each year. Sales tax revenues are
budgeted each year based on the state's projections for collections
in the following year. Non-resident student fees were increased
from $100 to $500 for the 1996-97 school year for all new non-
resident students accepted into the Roanoke County school system.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The school budget for 1996-97 was based on
an ADM of 13,776. However, the September 30 enrollment was higher
than budgeted and staff predicts that the March 30 enrollment will
be 13,825 which is 49 students above the budgeted enrollment. As
a result of the additional 49 students, the School Board will
receive an additional $118,000 in unbudgeted state revenue during
1996-97.
In addition, the state has made a mid -year adjustment to the
projected sales tax collections for the year. The state is
estimating an increase of $90,000 for the School Board. Based on
past experience with the state projections, staff recommends
increasing the sales tax revenue budget by $50,000.
The increase in non-resident student fees this year will generate
an additional $20,000 in revenue not yet budgeted.
The additional $188,000, comprised of the above three revenue
items, will be used to cover increased operating expenses in the
following areas:
3 -Instructional Assistants ........................ $ 28,000
2 -Special Education Teachers .................. 50,000
Other Part -Time Staff ............................... 20,000
Textbook Allocation ................................ 30,000
Title VIB Flow-Thru................................. 31,500
Dumpster Pick -Up ..................................... 18,500
LegalFees............................................ 10,000
Increase in Expenditures ...............$188,000
See the attached spreadsheet for a line item comparison of the
revenues using the budgeted enrollment versus the projected actual
enrollment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The School Operating revenues and expenditures
budget will increase by $188,000 for the newly generated state and
local revenues. No additional funding is requested.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends asking the County Board of
Supervisors for the additional appropriation of $188,000.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 25, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: Approval of an Agreement with the Industrial
Development Authority of Roanoke County
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: ✓`�j/� �,rrwz-�
This agreement documents the working relationship between the
County and the Industrial Development Authority of Roanoke County
("IDA") for the successful management, administration, and
implementation of economic development projects in the County.
Over the past decade taxpayer -funded economic development
projects have grown in complexity and sophistication. County staff
and the IDA recommend that a more formal understanding between the
Board of Supervisors and the IDA for the management,
administration, and implementation of these economic development
projects is necessary. This agreement accomplishes these goals.
This agreement provides:
that the IDA shall administer contractual obligations on
behalf of the County;
- that the County will provide IDA an appropriation of
funds in support of its economic development purposes,
but that the IDA shall not engage in such purposes absent
such an appropriation;
- that Economic Development staff shall provide technical
assistance to the IDA;
- that the County Purchasing Agent shall act as purchasing
officer for the IDA, the County's procurement ordinance
shall be the IDA's procurement policies;
- that the County's financial staff shall be responsible
for the financial administration of the IDA;
- that the County will provide general liability and
director's liability insurance coverage for the IDA;
- that the IDA delegates to the County Administrator
responsibility for project management and administration.
1
cc -75 -
The IDA is a separate legal entity under the State Code. The
Board appropriates funds to the IDA to accomplish many of its
economic development projects. The Board provides significant
administrative, clerical, financial, engineering, and legal staff
support to the IDA. Constitutional and statutory restrictions
limit the ability of local governments to provide "incentives" for
the location of new business or the expansion of existing business,
but industrial development authorities possess broader powers.
This agreement memorializes current practices between the Board and
the IDA in order to continue our recent economic development
successes.
No additional funds are required to implement this agreement.
The Board appropriates funds to the IDA on a project -by -project
basis. Staff support is currently provided within existing
budgets.
4�I4_ Z•�__ •
It is recommended that the Board approve this agreement, and
authorize the County Administrator to execute it on behalf of the
Board.
