IN RE: CITIZENS' COMMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Noah Tickle of 1603 Frosty Lane in Salem, Virginia stated he has been a
Roanoke County resident since 1956. He advised of all the elemental carbon hate
policies, supposedly to improve our atmosphere, elemental carbon capture and burial is
probably the worst. No life can exist on earth without elemental carbon's wonderful
molecule carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is what we exhale, bubbly soda fizz, and
440 October 8, 2013
bubbles in the wine. The elemental carbon haters sip as they vilify the very thing that
keeps them alive and so on, like spoiled children that defy their parents. Unfortunately,
nature has been capturing and burying this valuable plant nutrient for millions of years.
Carbon dioxide is very soluble in water, especially cold water. So it is continually being
captured from the atmosphere by rain, rivers and the oceans as II as in growing
vegetation. Much of this captured carbon gets buried at sea as extensive deposits of
hydrocarbons such as coal, shale, oil, and natural gas, as thick beds of carbon, such as
chalk, limestone and dolomite and in sea shells, bones and coral reefs This natural
carbon capture and burial caused atmospheric carbon dioxide to reach a dangerous low
of about 275 ppm by the end of the Little Ice Age about 200 years ago. At this level,
plants suffer carbon starvation and growth slows. Like all cold eras, these times were
grim. Luckily the climate cycles changed, and earth started out of the deep freeze, some
ice melted, oceans warmed and carbon dioxide was expelled from the warming oceans
to provide more food for plants. Green vegetation started to invade the deserts and crop
yields improved Man's industrial activities aided this natural green revolution over the
last century by returning some naturally- buried carbon from coal and limestone to the
biosphere. The pace of earth- greening has increased - even the giant redwoods are
growing faster in this more - fertile atmosphere. This life giving plant growth of our world
is now threatened by misguided efforts to rob the atmosphere of man -made carbon
dioxide using a bizarre process call dcarbon capture and burial. Even though the whole
of mankind from the beginning of time has contributed less than 1/2 a one percent of
anything carbon The green one world socialist sustainabilist mentality is in error of this
carbon capture - truly a suicidal mission for life on earth. All life thrives when there is
more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Do the carbon haters also hate life? There is
lots of evidence of that. Also, like their stated intent to reduce mankind's population by
eighty -five percent (85 %). Defund ICLEI and we will have done our part to right this
ignorance. God rules here.

N RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
October 8, 2013 441
Supervisor Church congratulated the Glenvar Highlanders under Coach Kevin
Clifford; they play in a separate district around the valley in football and are doing a
great job with very able leadership. His staff has done a really good job. He also
congratulated one more time the Northside powerful Vikings in North County. They are
number one in Timesland and are undefeated six to zero. They made a trip over to a
hostile environment to play on the athletic field of William Fleming High School and they
handily defeated William Fleming and they are on a roll. They have defeated just about
all the local teams. We are still worrying about Lord Botetourt, who is not in Roanoke
County. They have a well run program under the leadership of Burt Torrence and
Principal Frank Dent. The entire community has come together under that school and
their leadership; they have completely changed the outlook and the thinking of North
Roanoke. For so many years, we could hardly win a game. So, what a change and
congratulations to them for continued success. Next week, they have a home game
against Allegheny.
Supervisor Elswick stated he would like to encourage everyone to go out and
enjoy this beautiful time of the year. We are very fortunate to live in an area where you
can just drive the Parkway and look at all the different colors and the mountains
surrounding the Valley. He hopes everybody can get out and take a look at it; it really is
enjoyable and relaxing and gets you away from the trials and tribulations of what we
have to go through every day. He also reminded everyone that it is Homecoming week
for Hidden Valley; big football game and parade and would like for everybody to come
out and enjoy some football.
Supervisor Moore invited everyone to the next quarterly Community Meeting at
the South County Library; it will be October 10, 2013, this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Chief
Howard Hall will be there talking about the functions of the Police Department; there will
be a question and answer time at the end. Also the second stormwater meeting will be
held the same night, October 10, 2013, at the Vinton War Memorial. She stated she
thinks that begins at 6:00 p.m.
Chairman Altizer stated the only thing he had was a train collision on the way
with the Terriers certainly playing good football down in Vinton. Hopefully, one of the
other teams will beat Lord Botetourt and then it will come down to a County fight out.
So, good luck to the Terriers this weekend. They have one loss this year, but they have
bounced back from that so there are some bragging rights on the line.
IN RE: CLOSED MEETING
At 4:09 p.m., Chairman Altizer moved to go into closed meeting following
the work sessions pursuant to the Code of Virginia Section 2.2 -3711 A 1, Personnel,
namely discussion concerning appointments to the Building Code Board of Adjustments
& Appeals (Fire Code Board of Appeals); South Peak Community Development
Authority. No vote was taken.
442 October 8, 2013
The closed session was held from 6:05 p.m. until 6:06 p.m.
IN RE: WORK SESSIONS
1. Work session on proposed amendments to the Roanoke County
Zoning Ordinance (Philip Thompson, Deputy Director of Planning;
John Murphy, Zoning Administrator)
In attendance for this work session was Philip Thompson, John Murphy
and B. Clayton Goodman III, County Administrator. The work session was held from
4:23 p.m. until 5:10 p.m.
Mr. Thompson went through a PowerPoint presentation with the individual
changes for each zoning district. A copy of this presentation is on file in the Clerk to the
Board of Supervisors office. He explained that most of the corrections are to make
everything across the Board consistent.
Supervisor Elswick stated he feels in AV, it should be by right for
equipments sales, i.e. tractors. Mr. Goodman explained they are not allowed at all at
the present time. Supervisor Elswick stated it should be appropriate with other
standards, for example lot sizes.
Supervisor Moore explained she has a problem with religious assembly in
AG3.
Mr. Thompson then reviewed the maximum building and lot coverage
chart.
Supervisor Flora stated he has a problem with automobile dealers in an
AV district. Mr. Thompson advised would only be done with special use and could be
limited. Supervisor Flora reiterated he felt used car lots are multiplying. Supervisors
Elswick and Altizer agreed with Supervisor Flora.
Supervisor Moore reiterated again that she would like to make religious
assembly by special use only. Supervisor Altizer stated he agreed that it should be
taken out of AG3.
Mr. Goodman reviewed the issue with microbreweries. Mr. Thompson
explained they are defined in industry type 1 and general restaurant. Mr. Caywood
suggested that staff research and fine tune it down the road. Supervisor Flora stated he
thinks we should add now as it is becoming a growing tourist attraction.
Supervisor Elswick then expressed his concerns with the frontage
requirements on public street in AG. Mr. Goodman advised more road frontage means
less development. Supervisor Elswick inquired why would the Board be making that
decision? Mr. Goodman advised the decision would be made in order to limit
development in that area and that subdivisions could be made for families. Supervisor
Elswick stated he feels it ought to be more consistent.
Mr. Goodman suggested that staff ask the Planning Commission to review
all site development standards as the only changes the Commission looked at were
October 8, 2013
443
trends. Mr. Thompson advised his staff wants to look at clustering in the AG areas for
next year. It was the consensus of the Board to move forward as it is currently written
and for the Board members to consider the following changes:
• Amend Restaurant, general definition by adding the word "brewpubs" to the
definition (Page 29 of Ordinance, Page 136 of Board Package) as follows:
Restaurant, general: An establishment engaged in the preparation and
consumption of food and beverages and characterized primarily by table service
to customers in non - disposable containers. Typical uses include cafeterias,
dinner theatres, taverns, brewpubs, and cafes.
• Leave Religious Assembly as a Special
changing it to a By -Right use (Page 33
Package).
• Under Sec. 30- 32 -2(A) — remove
Assembly from the Ordinance
• Under Sec. 30- 32 -2(B) — remove
under Civic Uses from the Ordinance
Use in the AG -3 District instead of
of Ordinance, Page 140 of Board
item #3 Civic Uses and Religious
Religious Assembly (struckthrough)
• Delete Automobile Dealership as a Special Use in the AV District (Page 37 of
Ordinance, Page 144 of Board Package)
o Under Sec. 30- 36 -2(B) — remove Automobile Dealership under
Commercial Uses from the Ordinance
Change Restaurant, Drive -in or Fast Food from a Special Use to a By -Right Use
in the C -2 District (Page 46 of Ordinance, Page 153 of Board Package)
• Under Sec. 30- 54 -2(A) — add Restaurant, Drive -in or Fast Food under
Commercial Uses
• Under Sec. 30- 54 -2(B) — add Restaurant, Drive -in or Fast Food
(struckthrough) under Commercial Uses
• Add Restaurant, Drive -in or Fast Food as a Special Use in the Clearbrook Village
Overlay District (CVOD) — (Page 46 of Ordinance, Page 153 of Board Package)
o Under Sec. 30- 58 -4(B) — add Restaurant, Drive -in or Fast Food under
Commercial Uses
2. Work session to discuss strategies for enhanced litter awareness
and enforcement (Charlotte A. Moore, Vice Chairman; Richard L.
Caywood, Assistant County Administrator)
444 October 8, 2013
In attendance for this work session was Richard L. Caywood, Kathy
Jones, Senior Assistant County Attorney and Howard B. Hall, Chief of Police. The work
session was held from 5:12 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Caywood went through a PowerPoint presentation outlining the
strategies; a copy of which is on file in the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors office.
Chief Hall advised the citizen complaint; a case number will need to be applied and will
be kept for ten (10) years. The Police Department will need to verify the complaint, but
it will not be available for FOIA.
Supervisor Flora suggested that the County apply for a litter control grant
from the State and to tackle all litter, not just cigarette butts.
Supervisor Altizer asked when the Police run the plate and generate the
case number would the case number be tied to that individual and show up later. Chief
Hall advised is would be a CAD entry only.
Supervisor Altizer then called for a five minute break.
Ms. Jones then outlined a possible ordinance for this issue and advised
there is already a State code pertaining to this issue that allows Counties to set up their
own penalties and would suggest setting up the ordinance for a civil penalty.
Supervisor Moore stated she wants a $250 civil penalty and possibly an
option for community service.
Mr. Caywood advised staff would look into the community service option.
It was the consensus of the Board to have staff put together some
suggested wording for the ordinance and send out to the Board for review and bring
back at a future meeting.
