amended to read and provide as follows:
Article II, Section 30 -28 — Definitions and Use Types
Anemometer: An instrument for measuring wind force and velocity.
Net metering: A program offered by a utility company that allows customers with eligible
renewable energy systems to offset a portion of the electric energy provided by the utility.
Rated nameplate capacity: The maximum rated output of electric power production
equipment specified by the manufacturer.
Shadow flicker: The visible flicker effect that occurs when rotating turbine blades cast
shadows on the ground and nearby structures, causing the repeating pattern of light and
shadow.
Wind energy: Power generated by converting the mechanical energy of wind into electrical
energy through use of a wind generator.
Wind energy conversion system: An electric generating device, the main purpose of which is
to convert the kinetic energy available in the wind to mechanical energy, consisting of one or
more wind turbines, a tower, associated control or conversion electronics and other accessory
structures and buildings, including substations, electrical infrastructure, transmission on lines
and other appurtenant structures and facilities.
Wind energy system, micro (building integrated): Abuilding - mounted wind energy
conversion system that has a manufacturer's rating of 10 kW or less.
Page 2of9
Wind energy system, small: A wind energy conversion system consisting of a single wind
turbine, a tower, and associated control or conversion electronics, having a rated nameplate
capacity of not more than SO kilowatts (kW)Jor residential uses and not more than 100 kWfor
other uses. For the purpose of residential net metering, Virginia Code X56 -594B limits the
electrical generating facility to a capacity of not more than 10 kilowatts (kW).
Wind energy tower: The structure on which the wind turbine is mounted.
Wind monitoring or temporary meteorological tower: A temporary tower equipped with
devices to measure wind speeds and direction; used to determine how much wind power a site
can be expected to generate.
Wind turbine: A wind energy conversion device that converts wind energy into electricity
through use of a wind turbine generator; typically having one, two or three blades, nacelle,
rotor, generator, controller and associated mechanical and electrical conversion components
mounted on top of a tower.
Windmill: A machine designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms of
energy, such as grinding, pumping, etc., using rotating blades driven by the force of the wind
to turn mechanical equipment to do physical work, without producing energy.

the safe, effective and efficient use of small wind energy systems and not
unreasonably interfering with the development of independent renewable
energy sources. The requirements set forth in this section shall govern the
sitting of small wind energy systems used to generate electricity or perform
work which may be connected to the utility grid pursuant to Virginia's net
metering laws or serve as an independent source of energy.
(B) General Standards;
1. Type of Tower: The tower component of any small wind energy system shall be one
that is recommended and certified by the manufacturer.
2. Tower Color: Small wind energy system towers shall maintain a galvanized steel
finish, unless Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards require otherwise. The
zoning administrator may allow a property owner, who is attempting to conform the
tower to the surrounding environment and architecture, to paint the tower to reduce its
visual obtrusiveness. A photo simulation may be required by the zoning administrator.
3. System Height:
Page 5of9
(a) System height is defined as the vertical distance measured from average grade
at the base of the tower or other supporting structure, whether mounted on the
ground or on a rooftop, to the highest point of the turbine rotor or tip of the
turbine blade when extended to its highest elevation.
Parcel Size (Acres)
Maximum System Height
U to 1.00
80 eet
Greater than 1.00
100 feet
(b) A small wind energy system may exceed the height limitations listed in this
section if a special use permit has been obtained by the property owner.
(c) The applicant shall provide evidence that the proposed height of the small wind
energy system does not exceed the height recommended by the manufacturer or
distributor of the system.
4. Setbacks: The small wind energy system shall beset back a distance at least equal to
one hundred ten percent (110 %) of the height of the wind energy system from all
property lines, and roadways. The setbacks for a small wind energy system may be
reduced if a special use permit has been obtained by the property owner. Setbacks
established in this section or through a special use permit shall supersede any other
setback requirement in the zoning ordinance.
S. Ground Clearance /Safety: The minimum distance between the ground and any
protruding blades utilized on a small wind energy system shall be 20 feet, as measured
at the lowest point of the arc of the blades. The lowest point of the arc of the blade
shall also be twenty (20)feet above the height of any structure within one hundred fifty
(150)feet of the base. The supporting tower shall also be enclosed with a 6-foot tall
fence or the base of the tower shall not be climbable for a distance of 12 feet.
6. Number of Towers: More than one tower may be permitted on an individual piece of
property provided that all setback requirements have been met.
7. Noise: The wind energy system shall not exceed 60 decibels (dBA), as measured at the
closest property line, except during short -term events such as severe windstorms.
8. Lighting: No lighting shall be incorporated on the tower or wind turbine unless
required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or other appropriate authority.
9. Advertising: Signs, writing, pictures, flags, streamers, or other decorative items that
may be construed as advertising are prohibited on wind energy systems, except as
follows:
(a) Manufacturer's or installer's identification on the wind turbine, and
(b) Appropriate warning signs and placards.
10. Speed Controls: A small wind energy system shall be equipped with manual (electronic
or mechanical) and automatic overspeed controls to limit the blade rotation speed to
within the design limits of the small wind energy system.
11. Electric Utility Notification: The applicant shall provide evidence that the provider of
electric utility service to the site has been informed of the applicant's intent to install
an interconnected customer -owned electricity generator, unless the applicant intends,
and so states on the application, that the system will not be connected to the electricity
grid.
Page 6of9
12. Use: A small wind energy system shall be considered an accessory use. The applicant
shall provide information demonstrating that the small wind energy system will be used
primarily to reduce on -site consumption of electricity.
13. Wind Monitoring or Temporary Meteorological Towers: Small wind energy systems
shall comply with the following:
(a) A wind monitoring meteorological tower with an anemometer and other wind
measuring devices may be installed with the issuance of a zoning permit for the
purpose of monitoring wind and other environmental conditions relevant to
sitting wind energy systems and used to determine how much wind power a site
can be expected to generate. The zoning permit shall be valid for a period of
one year.
(b) No wind monitoring meteorological tower for small wind energy systems may
rise more than the allowable height of the proposed small wind energy system
and shall meet the setback requirements in Sec. 30- 87 -6(B)4 of this ordinance.
14. Removal of Defective or Abandoned Small Wind Enerav Systems:
(a) Each year following the issuance of a zoning permit for a small wind energy
system, the owner of such small wind energy system shall submit to the Zoning
Administrator an affidavit that verifies continued operation of the wind turbine
use and compliance with all requirements of this ordinance and other
applicable regulations. Failure to submit required documentation shall result
in the Zoning Administrator considering the small wind energy system
abandoned. The owner of the small wind energy system shall remove the small
wind energy system within ninety (90) days of receipt of notice from the County
instructing the owner to remove the abandoned small wind energy system.
(b) Any small wind energy system and micro wind energy system found to be
unsafe or inoperable by the building official shall be repaired by the owner to
meet federal, state and local safety standards or removed within ninety (90)
days.

Request for authorization to execute Performance Agreement
between Roanoke County, the Roanoke County Economic
Development Authority (EDA) and Edward Rose Properties,
Inc. (Attachment A) and appropriate $100,000 from the
Western Virginia Water Authority (WVWA), Catawba
Magisterial District

County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Edward Rose Properties (the Company) desires to construct a new mixed use commercial
development with potential uses including a hotel, office, medical buildings and multi - family
structures on 31.4 acres of land off of Cove Road (Attachment B). The company plans to
invest a minimum of $20,000,000 by December 31, 2017. As part of the project, the
Company needs to construct certain public infrastructure improvements including water
and sewer extensions with an estimated value of $225,000, a new public access road and
intersection improvements from and along Cove Road and the new development and a
right turn lane on Cove Road at the intersection of route 419.
Of special note is the proposed water line extension. This extension will serve as a critical
link in the eventual interconnection of water lines in the vicinity, thereby improving service
for the nearby citizens of Roanoke County, and it is also consistent with the long range
capital plan of the WVWA. In recognition of this, the WVWA will contribute $100,000 to the
County, and the County will contribute $100,000 from the Public Private Partnership
account to the EDA to provide a $200,000 Public Infrastructure Incentive Grant to the
Company. The Grant will be paid to the Company by the EDA within thirty days of final
Page 1 of 3
construction of the water line extension, and acceptance of the public infrastructure
improvements by the WVWA.
The Board of Supervisors and the EDA desire to promote and encourage economic
development and vitality of Roanoke County and the region through the construction of
new businesses in order to provide increased employment and corporate investment in the
County. Therefore the County and the EDA will award up to a $300,000 Economic
Development Incentive Grant to the Company after one or more commercial buildings have
been constructed and occupied within the development. The Grant will be based on the
amount of New Tax Revenue realized by the County from this new development. New Tax
Revenues are defined as Real Estate tax, Business Professional Occupational License
(BPOL) taxes, Business Personal Property and Transient Occupancy taxes. If the New
Tax Revenues are less than $300,000, then the Grant will be less, and will only be
calculated using the actual new taxes generated by the project. The Company may
request a yearly Grant for any two calendar years from tax years 2013, 2014 2015 2016
or 2017. If no commercial buildings are built within this time frame, no Grant will be
awarded. No new tax revenue from the residential multi - family units will be considered
when calculating any potential Grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $100,000 from the County for the Public Infrastructure Incentive Grant will be allocated
from the Economic Development Public Private Partnership Account so no new funds will
need to be identified. The WVWA will contribute $100,000 to go towards the public
infrastructure incentive grant and these funds will need to be appropriated. The Economic
Development Incentive Grant will be an amount equal to new tax revenues realized by the
project so the Company will be "reimbursed" by foregone New Tax Revenues and
appropriated in future budgets.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative One: Authorize the execution of the Performance Agreement between
Roanoke County, the Roanoke County EDA and Edward Rose Properties, Inc. and
appropriate $100,000 from the Western Virginia Water Authority for the public
infrastructure incentive grant.
Alternative Two: Do not authorize the execution of the Performance Agreement between
Roanoke County, the Roanoke County EDA and Edward Rose Properties, Inc. or the
appropriation of funds from the WVWA.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative One - Authorize the execution of the Performance Agreement
between Roanoke County, the Roanoke County EDA and Edward Rose Properties, Inc.
and appropriate $100,000 from the Western Virginia Water Authority for the public
infrastructure incentive grant.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
AGENDA ITEM: Request for approval of an amendment to the Roanoke County
Investment Policy
SUBMITTED BY: F. Kevin Hutchins
Treasurer
APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The County Of Roanoke's Investment policy was first established in 1987. We consider
the investment policy to be a Living Document and subject to revision due to the ever
changing investment market. The policy has been changed on six different occasions with
the last revision occurring in 2007.
The last change occurred when the U.S. Investment markets had a long period of positive
interest rates for short -term Government Securities and money market funds, which
actually had higher interest rates than those of long -term investments.
This advantageous environment ended in 2008 following the collapse of the mortgage
lending sector. The fallout from the reversal created a prolonged time small returns that
have crossed into the banking sector and subsequently into money market fund yields.
This has affected overnight funds held with our local bank that serve to boost our returns
by utilizing all of our cash.
To offset these declines, it has become necessary to utilize the Local Government
Investment Pool (LGIP) which is a AAA rated fund run created in 1981 run by the State.
We have used this fund for many years and it is very effective with short term yields.
However, the language within the investment policy is conflicting and outdated. We allow
Page 1 of 2
for up to seventy -five percent (75 %) of our total funds to be placed within the LGIP, but left
language which limited that same seventy -five percent (75 %) to be no more than
$15,000,000. This language has been carried over through subsequent policy changes
since the early 1990's without regard to our total portfolio value which is four to five (4 to 5)
times larger today.
At this time, we request that we strike the limitation of $15,000,000 and allow the allocation
percentage of seventy -five percent (75 %) to remain on its own merit. The County is
presently only limited by our own Investment policy as to the specific allocation that we
allow ourselves to invest into this category, since the stated investments are authorized
under Section I B -8 , and 2 A -1 of our own investment policy as allowed by Sec. 2.2 -4501 of
the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended.
By changing this outdated restriction, we will allow increase the return of our short term
funds in this unfavorable market without incurring any additional risk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adopting the change to the Investment policy will increase the interest earning potential of
County funds. There will be no negative impact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Treasurers Office and Staff recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the
Investment Policy.
VOTE:
Supervisor Flora moved to approve the staff recommendation.
Motion approved.
