E-1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: August 26, 2014 AGENDA ITEM: Request for authorization to execute a performance agreement between the County of Roanoke, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and Allstate Insurance Company and Affiliates, Catawba Magisterial District SUBMITTED BY: Jill Loope Director of Economic Development APPROVED BY: Daniel R. O'Donnell Interim County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Allstate Insurance Company has been operating at the 1819 Electric Road location in Roanoke County for forty-three (43) years. This location supports Allstate's technology, claims and call center needs, which is an important component of their business operations. The iconic 147,000 sq. ft. building on Electric Road is larger than the company requires today, twice the size of the proposed new facility. For this reason, the company has chosen to construct a more modern facility that better meets their current needs. After extensive analysis of multiple sites throughout the Roanoke Valley, Allstate has decided to construct a 70,000 sq. ft. 3 -story facility on a 7.5 acre site at 1745 Loch Haven Road and Interstate 81 in Roanoke County. This highly visible location will promote Allstate's corporate image on the interstate, while providing convenient access for their employees. Allstate's employment is projected at 515 positions, some of which are home- based. To assist with the project, a three -party, performance agreement has been negotiated between Roanoke County, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and Allstate Insurance Company. This agreementwill assist Allstate with theirsite development and infrastructure related costs and provide new capital investment in Roanoke County, while also assisting with the retention of 515 high qualityjobs at an average annual salary Page 1 of 2 of $40,000+ per year. The agreement allows for an economic development grant in an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of new local tax revenue to be reimbursed to the company. New local tax revenue is defined as net new real estate and business personal property taxes generated by the project. The total amount of the grant shall not exceed $300,000. The agreement also allows for the extension of a water line to the property line of the site in an amount not to exceed $30,000. This is consistent with the County's Public Private Partnership Policy. If the company generates less than the estimated new local tax revenue, then the actual grant for that year shall be less. The eighteen (18) month period will commence on January 1, 2016. FISCAL IMPACT: Per the performance agreement, the grant will be calculated as a reimbursement based on new tax revenues generated by the project in an amount not to exceed $300,000; therefore, the fiscal impact will be in the form of foregone revenue. The water line extension shall be paid through the County's Public Private Partnership Fund, and is limited to $30,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Interim County Administrator, or any Assistant County Administrator, to execute on behalf of the County a performance agreement between the County of Roanoke, the Roanoke County Economic Development Authority and Allstate Insurance Company. VOTE: Supervisor Church moved to approve the staff recommendation. Motion approved. cc: Jill Loope, Director of Economic Development Page 2 of 2 Yes No Absent Ms. Moore ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Bedrosian ❑ ® ❑ Mr. Church ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Peters ® ❑ ❑ Mr. McNamara ® ❑ ❑ cc: Jill Loope, Director of Economic Development Page 2 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2014 ORDINANCE 082614-2 AUTHORIZING THE VACATION OF AN EXISTING FIFTEEN (15') FOOT PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE REAR AND SIDE PROPERTY LINE ON PROPERTY OF DAVID KILBANE, LOT 75, SECTION 3, THE HIGHLANDS (PLAT BOOK 24, PAGE 38) TAX MAP #044.03-09-12.00-0000), CATAWBA MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT WHEREAS, a plat entitled "Plat showing Section No. 3 of The Highlands property of Al M.

Box 29800 Roanoke, VA 24018 RE: Corporate Property Services, Inc (Chick-Fil-A) Roanoke County Proposed Land Use - Restaurant with drive-thru (C-1 ws' SUP) Route 610, West Ruritan Road Supervisor Peters: In response to our previous conversations with you and Delegate Chris Head in reference to the posted speed of Route 610 (West Ruritan Road), a revised posting would not appear to be warranted given the existing conditions along with documentation provided by the engineer for the proposed Special Use Permit request. However, VDOT agrees to initiate a full speed study along Route 610 three months from the opening date of the proposed development referenced above. Please be aware a speed study can require approximately six to eight weeks depending upon workload and complexity. We have also provided additional information in the attachments concerning crashes at the intersection of Route 460 (Challenger Avenue) and Route 610 which extends approximately 500 feet to the east, west, and north of the intersection along both routes as a follow-up to your question about crashes. The crash data includes all reported information available to VDOT from 2010 to 2013. In short, 51 crashes were reported in the four year period. Approximately 65% of all crashes were rear end incidents on Route 460 in the eastbound and westbound directions combined. There were two reported crashes related to Route 610 but both appeared to be associated with the intersection rather than along the tangent section adjacent to the proposed development entrance. As an additional mitigation for the proposed development entrance, we have researched alternative signage options opposed to the "Watch for Turning Vehicles" (WI I -V3) sign proposed by the engineer. VDOT will recommend the installation by the developer along Route 610 of an Intersection Warning Sign (W2-2) along with a supplemental advisory speed plaque (W134P, 25 MPH) during the plan development stage. We feel this recommended alternative www.VirginiaDOT.org WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING Supervisor Jason Peters August 6, 2014 Page 2 oft signage will be more appropriate to ensure the traveling public is aware of the development intersection. I have attached a graphic of the proposed sign for your reference. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Brian K. Blevins, P.E.

From 2010-2013, only 2 of the 51 crashes (4.2%) were reported as specifically on Route 610. Neither crash resulted in injury; the first crash was a rear -end (2012) and the second was a same -direction sideswipe (2013). Both crashes occurred at the intersection with 460 and not along the length of West Ruritan Road. The most common crash type was rear ends, which accounted for approximately 659 of the total. Please see the tables below for a breakdown of this information. Table 1.

A sideswipe in the same direction would occur in a situation where one driver tries to change lanes and "merges" into the other driver directly beside them, potentially damaging the sides of both vehicles. Fixed object— off road refers to a vehicle colliding with an object off of the road, such as a guardrail or tree; this crash may occur if the driver swerves to avoid another accident or loses control of his vehicle.
