COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' COMMENT • Gf .u�►�C SUMMARY OF INFORMATION• Salem Vent International, Inc. is interested in locating a manufacturing facility in Roanoke County. The Company makes vents for the heavy truck industry and has outgrown their leased facility in the City of Salem. The staff and Industrial Development Authority have assisted the company by identifying an approximate 7.6 acre tract in Valley TechPark and passing an inducement resolution for $7,000,000 of Industrial Revenue Bond financing so that they might acquire the land and construct and equip an initial 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility and employ 76 employees. The Company desires to have the building constructed and in operation by late summer 2000. The estimated annual tax revenue from real estate and machinery and tools is $53,625. Staff proposes to fund up to $60,000 for utility connection fees for water, sewer and fire service for the new manufacturing facility. This amount falls within the three year payback formula established by the Board of Supervisors for manufacturing facilities. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement with Salem Vent International, Inc. on a form approved by the County Attorney. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff estimates that new annual tax revenues of $53,625 will offset the $60,000 public private partnership within three years of occupancy. Funds for the Utility connection fees have been appropriated to the Economic Development Capital Account as part of the FY 1999-2000 Budget. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement, on a form approved by the County Attorney, with Salem Vent International, Inc. and provide public private partnership funds in the amount of $60,000 for utility connection fees.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: Recommend Approval. This is great news and cause for celebration! This represents the expansion of a major headquarters operation. The expansion of the County's tax base and increased employment opportunities for our citizens. With the acquisition of Western Auto by Advance, the Roanoke Valley stood to lose these jobs and tax base if the consolidated headquarters moved to Kansas City. We are delighted to have this take place here. Advance has recently advised that they may relocate additional functions to this new facility from their downtown Roanoke City office. If so, this will generate even more tax revenue for the County. We are grateful to the Advance Stores staff and the State of Virginia for their help in making this successful. I also wish to thank the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission and Joyce Waugh as well. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff has been working with the Industrial Developmental Authority (IDA) and Advance Stores, Inc. on a performance agreement which includes funds for road and traffic signal improvements on Airport Road, site work, and match for a Community Development Block Grant for Boxley Hills drainage improvements in the Hollins Magisterial District. Signals and intersection improvements will be shared 50150 with the City of Roanoke, with a separate agreement being worked out for this purpose. Over half of the funds would be administered through the County with the remaining funds administered through the IDA for other project related costs. Advance Auto is constructing a 100,000 square foot expansion of their present headquarters as result or a recent acquisition of Western Auto Stores. Advance estimates an $8-$10 million investment and the hiring of 200 full time jobs at an annual average salary of $35,000. This is in addition to retaining an existing 400 jobs already at this location. The additional, largely clerical positions, will support their expanded 1700 retail store operation E -- in the U.S. In addition, Roanoke County has applied for a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) based on the 200 j obs being made available to low and moderate income level people. The grant is to correct a long standing drainage problem in the Boxley Hills neighborhood and allow the 17.11 acre tract of land located behind Advance to be developed. As part of the County's 10% grant match, detailed engineering services will be paid from the County's $641,500 incentive funds. Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement the with IDA and Advance to provide $641,500 towards the costs of road and traffic signal improvements on Airport Road, site work, and CDBG match, on a form approved by the County Attorney. A total of $641,500 in tax revenue would be returned to the County over a five year time period beginning one year after occupancy of their expanded building in 2001. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are requested in the amount of $641,500 for this project. These funds can be appropriated from the County Capital Fund as follows: $414,850 from remaining budgets of completed economic development projects, and $226,650 from the Capital Fund Unappropriated Balance. The return on the County's investment through the IDA would be achieved from new real estate, personal property, and sales and use taxes within a five year time period beginning one year after occupancy of their expanded facility in 2001. Completion of the performance agreement and this project are contingent upon obtaining a $700,000CDBG grant, applied for by the County. Roanoke County has also requested $500,000 in Governor's Opportunity Funds, which would leverage the County's funds, if granted. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the economic development performance agreement to expand Advance Stores headquarters operation and appropriate $641,500, and authorize the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement with the IDA and Advance Stores, Inc. for the funding of road and traffic signal improvements on Airport Road, site work, and detailed engineering (10% required match) for a Community Development Block Grant for Boxley Hills drainage improvements in the Hollins Magisterial District on a form approved by the County Attorney. 2. Take no action at this time. 4E - STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Alternative 1 authorizing the County Administrator to execute a performance agreement with the IDA and Advance Stores, Inc. for the funding of road and traffic signal improvements on Airport Road, site work, and detailed engineering (10% required match) for a Community Development Block Grant for Boxley Hills drainage improvements in the Hollins Magisterial District on a form approved by the County Attorney, and appropriate the funds as outlined in the fiscal impact statement.

This access road is approximately one half mile in length, and will provide a direct connection from Starkey Road in to the Park. Besides providing a convenient and safe park access, this project will also make much needed improvements to the intersection of Starkey and Merriman Roads. As part of the process, Roanoke County is required to enter into a contractual agreement outlining the responsibilities of each party as it relates to the construction of this project. The attached agreement outlines those responsibilities. The access funds, coupled with the approximately $300,000 previously allocated by the Board, will be used to construct phase 1 of the park, which includes two ballfields, one soccer/football field, open green space, and picnic areas along Back Creek. The groundbreaking ceremony is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 16. FISCAL IMPACT: This grant saves the county the cost ($190,000) of constructing the road.

The matching portion of these monies is taken from the appropriation already in place for CORTRAN. These monies, for the Section 18 program, can only be used for service in the rural sections of the County. CORTRAN designates rides from the qualifying areas and credits those to the grant program thereby improving the level of service provided by the County appropriation for CORTRAN. Because of the increasing demand for the CORTRAN service, it is suggested that the County accept these funds, appropriate them to the use of CORTRAN, and apply those monies to the ridership from the rural areas of the County. The CORTRAN fare increase from $2.50 to $3.50 per one way trip was implemented September 1, 1999. At this time, we have not instructed RADAR to limit ridership to determine the impact of the new fare. Staff has corresponded in writing to each of the listed riders of CORTRAN advising of this change and received approximately 50 phone calls concerning the change. It is suggested that staff report back to you in January to look at the impact of the increased fares on the total ridership. FISCAL IMPACT: Acceptance of this Section 18 grant provides $21,210 additional monies to be applied to the CORTRAN program for this year. W RECOMMENDATIONS: RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends acceptance of the Section 18 monies and appropriating them to the CORTRAN program. Staff will also report back to the Board in January concerning CORTRAN ridership. Respectfully submitted, ohn M.

Access to the tank was provided by a gravel road contained in a 50 -foot access easement. The construction of the new gymnasium at Northside Middle School required that this access road be relocated. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Roanoke County School Board has since relocated the road behind the middle school as shown on the attached easement plat as prepared by Lumsden Associates, P.C. and dated July 1, 1999. In order to complete the project the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors needs to accept the relocated easement. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is limited to the incidental costs of recording the easement document. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the new 20 -foot access easement as shown on the attached plat and authorize the County Administrator to execute this easement document.

This Consent Order will reduce the acreage used for business operations to the approximate acreage necessary to be in compliance with the status of business operations in 1970. Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow own approximately 532 acres of real estate located off Ridgelea Rd. A portion of this property (32+ acres) has been the site of business operations of Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales since the early 1950s. Since 1970 it has been a nonconforming use under the County's zoning ordinance. These business operations have expanded and contracted since 1970. In 1970 this property was zoned A-1, Agricultural District; in 1992 the zoning designation was changed to A-3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve. As a result of citizen complaints, zoning staff commenced enforcement actions with respect to this operation and alleged zoning violations last year. Staff has utilized aerial mapping photography in an attempt to identify the historical areas of operations. Unfortunately this historical record is less than clear. Staff has negotiated this Consent Order to remediate the problems identified, and to reduce the acreage utilized for these nonconforming uses. This Consent Order limits the specific business uses of the property and reduces the acreage and use of the business to approximately 17.5 acres and the uses in effect in 1970. Staff has identified 6 sub -areas for removal and clean-up within 18 months of approval by the Board of Supervisors; each sub -area to be remediated sequentially every 3 months. As each area is remediated it will be stabilized, reforested or vegetation planted. Fencing requirements will be adjusted to account for topography and the ability of the public to view the operations from the public right-of-way. G:\ATTORNEY\PMM\ZONING\WHITBOS.RPT 1 FISCAL IMPACTS: There is no immediate fiscal impact on Roanoke County; however, it will be necessary for County staff to monitor the implementation of this Consent Order over the next 18 months to ensure compliance.

Purpose. This is a Consent Order issued under the authority of Section 15.2-2286 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, and Section 30-5 of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance between the Zoning Administrator for Roanoke County, the County of Roanoke, Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales, and Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow (collectively known as "Whitlow") to resolve certain violations of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance at real estate owned by Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow in Roanoke County, Virginia. Section 2. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. A. That the properties owned by Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow as described in Section 2, Paragraph D of this Order were zoned A-1, Agricultural District, in 1970 and were continuously zoned A-1, Agricultural District, until December 31, 1992. On December 31, 1992, during a comprehensive rezoning by Roanoke County, the zoning designation of these properties changed to AG -3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve, which is the current zoning designation of these properties. B. That the business operations of Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales has existed since prior to 1970 and since 1970 has continued as a nonconforming use on a portion of real estate identified as Roanoke County Tax Parcel No. 84.00-1-8. C. Whitlow has expanded and contracted this operation and use since 1970. D. Any expansion of the nonconforming use is a violation of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. 1 E. Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow own approximately 532 acres of real estate located off Ridgelea Road in Roanoke County, Virginia. Roanoke County Tax Parcel No. 84.00-1-8 consists of approximately 344 acres. On this real estate there is an area of approximately 32 acres which has been the site of the business operations of Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales, a nonconforming use under the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. The actual area of use has varied from time to time. F. Neither the Whitlows nor their predecessors in title or interest have ever applied to Roanoke County for a change in zoning classification for this business operation on this real estate in order to bring it into compliance with the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. G. County Planning and Zoning staff has delineated the acreage currently used for the business operations and this delineation is shown in Exhibit 1. This area is identified as "The August 1999 Use and Operations Area" and consists of approximately 17.5 acres. Section 3. Agreement and Order. Accordingly, by virtue of the authority of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended and the Roanoke County Code, the Zoning Administrator orders and Joy Leon Whitlow and Virginia Alice Whitlow and Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales agree that in order to remedy the violations described above and to bring this operation into compliance with the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance, the Whitlows shall: A. Provide access for Roanoke County personnel to the entire property including active and non-active areas used for the business operations, and all records pertaining to the business operations of Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales, at any reasonable time during normal business hours, with or without advance notice. The Zoning Administrator shall provide advance notice to Whitlow for access to business records. Such access shall be provided for the purposes of inspection, investigation, 2 evaluation, testing, sampling, corrective action, or other remedial measures. B. Whitlow shall reduce the acreage used for business operations to the approximate acreage necessary to be in compliance with the status of the business operations in 1970. This area is identified as "The August 1999 Use and Operations Area" and consists of approximately 17.5 acres. The reduction in acreage and use of the business to approximately the acreage and use in effect in 1970 shall be accomplished within 18 months of the date this Consent Order is approved by the Board of Supervisors. C. Whitlow shall reduce the acreage and use of the business to the area shown on Exhibit 1 on or before within the 18 month period set out above. This reduction in use and business operations shall include the following: reduce and remove junk cars; remove trash, garbage, and rubbish, including gasoline tanks, batteries, and tires, and dispose of all materials in accordance with the provisions of law. D. The specific uses to be made of the 17.5 -acre property in conjunction with the operation of Whitlow Auto Crushers and Sales is limited as follows: (i) to crush vehicles, (ii) to salvage metals, and (iii) to recycle materials from vehicles. All tires from vehicles to be disposed of in accordance with provisions of law. All batteries will be sold to battery recycling operations or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the provisions of law. E. Exhibit 1 delineates the approximate 1970 use and operation area as well as six additional sub -areas outside of the 1970 use and operation area. Whitlow agrees to remove all junk cars and parts of cars, trash, garbage and rubbish from each of the sub- areas outside of the approximate 1970 use and operation area, sequentially, beginning with sub -area 1, every 3 months. At the conclusion of each 3 month period, Roanoke County personnel shall inspect the compliance efforts for each sub -area or sector. Although it is preferable to crush and remove motor vehicles from each sector or sub -area, the County acknowledges that market conditions may require the storage of these motor vehicles on-site within the approximate 1970 use and operation area. If the motor 3 Paw vehicles can not be removed from the property, then the motor vehicles will be removed from each sector or sub -area and stored within the approximate 1970 use and operation area. By dividing the compliance work into six 3 -month phases, the parties believe that this would permit reasonable compliance monitoring of the reduction and removal of junk cars and motor vehicles, and compliance with the provisions of the County Code. This removal work is subject to adverse weather conditions which may require additional time for compliance. If Whitlow requires additional time for removal work due to adverse weather conditions, then Whitlow shall immediately notify the Zoning Administrator of such conditions. F. As each sector or sub -area is remediated, Whitlow agrees to stabilize the soils and to plant vegetation on all areas no longer used for business operations. G. Whitlow agrees to prepare and submit for approval, if required by County, an erosion and sedimentation control plan for all new roads constructed for the remediation work. H. Whitlow agrees to reforest cleared areas with a mixture of pine trees and hardwoods in accordance with a forest management plan to be submitted to the county within three months of the completion of work in each sub -area as weather permits. I. This fencing requirement in the County Zoning Ordinance may be adjusted by the Zoning Administrator to account for the topography of the site and the ability of the public to view the automobile graveyard from the public right-of-way. J. Whitlow agrees that no further expansion of the business operations will occur outside the 17.5 acres without specific approval and/or rezoning by the County. Whitlow agrees that any additional automobiles or junk cars brought to the property shall be located only within the designated August 1999 use and operation area. K. No other use shall be made of this property, unless in accordance with the provisions of the Roanoke County Zoning Ordinance. M Section 4. Administrative Provisions. A.
