IN RE:BRIEFINGS 1.Report on Housing Recommendations by the Senior and Challenged Citizens Commission. (Debbie Pitts, Assistant Director of Recreation) Ms. Pitts introduced the members of the Commission who were present at the meeting. She reported that in 1997, the Board of Supervisors appointed the Commission for Senior and Challenged Citizens to review problems encountered by senior adults and individuals with disabilities in Roanoke County and to make recommendations to the Board for consideration. The Commission has made recommendations for improvements in the Special Education section of Roanoke County Schools, increasing publicity for the CORTRAN transportation service, closed 157 March 27, 2001 captioning of Board meetings, and has been working with staff to improve ADA compliance within Roanoke County. The Commission has produced two public service videos and hope to start on the third in the near future. Over the last year, they have studied the availability of affordable and accessible housing in Roanoke County and presented a report for review and consideration for possible future action. Ms. Pitts advised that the Commission has concluded that the County might need more rental, accessible, and affordable housing for low to moderate income households. They recommended that the Planning Department together with human service agencies in the region conduct a needs assessments on affordable and accessible housing in Roanoke County. Supervisor Nickens commended the Commission for their work and suggested referring the report to Mr. Hodge and staff to moved forward with the Commission’s recommendations. IN RE: NEW BUSINESS 1.Request for additional Fire and Rescue Staffing. (Rick Burch, Fire and Rescue Chief) A-032701-1 Chief Burch presented a staffing allocation plan for Phase II. He advised that their objectives are to place the highest priority on life and provide benefit to the most people; to promote and support volunteers; and to promote a proactive, systematic and regional approach. He highlighted the actions taken previously in Phase I by hiring and training 20 additional paramedic/firefighters. Phase II will include 7 additional paramedic/firefighters at Clearbrook, 4 additional paramedic/firefighters at Fort Lewis, 3 158 March 27, 2001 additional paramedic/firefighters at Back Creek and 1 additional paramedic/firefighter at Mason Cove. This will provide five 24-hour/7-days Advanced Life Support (ALS) zone stations with coverage for 80% of the county within 7 minutes. It will provide second peak time ALS coverage at Cave Spring, Fort Lewis, Hollins and Vinton and provide primary ALS coverage during weekends at Mount Pleasant, Bent Mountain, and at Catawba with assistance. Mr. Hodge presented four funding alternatives: (1) fee for rescue service which would raise $677,500; (2) an increase in E-911 charge from $1.46 to $2.62 which would raise $675,000; (3) an increase the decal fee from $20 to $23 which would raise $240,000 and increase the utility consumer tax from 12% to 13.8% which would raise $675,000. Mr. Hodge recommended going forward with the fee for rescue service. Supervisor Church announced that he had contacted Catawba Hospital and they committed to assisting in the Catawba area. The following citizens spoke: 1. Michael Altizer, 3005 Valley Stream Drive , spoke in support of Phase I and Phase II. 2. Ona Early spoke on behalf of Mike Roop , and advised that Mr. Roop supported Phase II and supported fee for service and a decal fee increase to fund the additional positions. 3. Lee Bibb, Clearbrook Road, Chief of the Clearbrook Station, spoke in support of Phase II. 4. Annie Krochalis, 9428 Patterson Drive, Bent Mountain, spoke in support of Phase II but was discouraged that Bent Mountain will not receive the same services as other areas. She also expressed concern about the fee for service. Supervisor Minnix suggested that staff look at coverage in the interim at 159 March 27, 2001 Mountain Pleasant and Bent Mountain. Chief Burch responded that they are working with the City of Roanoke, and the Town of Vinton concerning coverage at Mount Pleasant, and Back Creek is covering Bent Mountain. In response to a question from Supervisor Johnson, Chief Burch advised there were 50 paid fire and rescue personnel before Phase I, 70 after Phase I and there will be 85 after Phase II is completed. Mr. Hodge advised that this action only allows the staff to move forward, and that there will be a public hearing before the County can approve fees for rescue services. Mr. Mahoney explained that there is a specific state code provision that authorizes the County to impose fees and charges and that the County will follow the advertised public hearing process. Supervisor Johnson moved to authorize the County Administrator to move forward with advertisement for fifteen positions. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None Supervisor Nickens moved that the source of funding come from implementation of fee for service, and in the interim, authorize the County Administrator to use the audited year-end surplus. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:Supervisor McNamara 2.Request for endorsement of transfer of administrative responsibilities for the Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher Program from Virginia Housing Development Authority to TAP/Blue Ridge Housing Development Corporation. (Terry 160 March 27, 2001 Harrington, County Planner) A-032701-2 Mr. Harrington reported that In 1984, Roanoke County requested that the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) allocate Roanoke County Section 8 Housing Vouchers to serve the needs of low to moderate income (LMI) families. Under this program, Roanoke County LMI families are eligible for a Federal (HUD) rent subsidy based upon their family size and income level. Once qualified, a family may use the voucher to rent market-priced privately owned rental housing in the County. Mr. Harrington explained that an eligible family chooses their place of residence, and the landlord receives a portion of the fair market rent from the family and a portion of the rent from the Federal government. VHDA administers the program at the state level, issues rent checks, and prepares all required HUD administrative reports and plans. When Roanoke County made the initial request to VHDA in 1984, local administration of the program would be undertaken by a local housing agency and not Roanoke County. Initially, the program was administered by Fralin and Waldron Housing Management Corporation. In 1990, TAP began administration of the program for VHDA. TAP has administered the program for the past eleven years. They enroll applicants, maintain the waiting list, inspect properties for safety compliance, intervene in some landlord tenant disputes, and prepare program reports for VHDA. The program has grown from approximately 38 voucher families to a current total of 88 voucher families, with an additional 110 qualified Roanoke County families on a waiting list for this program. Mr. Harrington explained that VHDA no longer wishes to be a state-level administrative agent for this program, and have offered to transfer all of their administrative responsibilities to the local provider in each locality where the program is 161 March 27, 2001 offered. Once transferred, the local provider will work directly with HUD on all administrative and financial aspects of the program. TAP is willing to accept the additional responsibilities so that the program can continue to be operated for the benefit of the Roanoke County families served. VHDA has requested that Roanoke County endorse the administrative transfer of the program to TAP. Mr. Harrington recommended that the Board endorse the transfer of all administrative aspects of the Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher Program From Virginia Housing Development Authority To TAP/Blue Ridge Housing Development Corporation. (TAP) Supervisor Johnson moved to endorse the transfer to TAP/Blue Ridge Housing. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 3.Request to approve the consolidation of Starkey, Merriman, and the New South County Park into one facility to be named Starkey Park. (Postponed from February 27, 2001) (Pete Haislip, Director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. A-032701-3 Mr. Haislip advised that from the 1992 bond program, Roanoke County has acquired several new properties and developed new park facilities in South County. These include Starkey Park, the Merriman Soccer complex, the new "South County Park", and the upcoming acquisition of the Guthrie tract. Roanoke County has an opportunity to consolidate these parks to create an interconnected multipurpose park facility that would not only provide for the youth athletic needs but also opportunities for additional greenways, picnic areas, an additional playground, and open green space. 162 March 27, 2001 The park is also bordered by approximately 3/4 of a mile of Back Creek. If access can be obtained, this opens up the potential for creekside recreation. In 1997 a South County Park master plan was completed and approved that incorporated all the contiguous tracts in to one regional 57 acre park . Now that the South County portion is complete and ready to open, the facility needs a name that encompasses all the facilities. After discussions with staff and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, it was felt that due to the historical importance of the former village of Starkey, any park name should include “Starkey.” Therefore, staff is recommending that the entire park be named Starkey Park. Mr. Haislip reported that staff plans to promote this name change through the Recreation Clubs as well as in the youth athletic newsletter. A sand blasted sign will be added at the entrance to the new park. A soft opening of the park will be held in February when the North Cross baseball team begins use of those fields, and there are plans to coordinate a grand opening event with Cave Spring American Little League sometime in the spring. In response to a question from Supervisor McNamara, Mr. Haislip reported that the Little League State Championship will be played at Starkey Park in 2003. Supervisor Minnix moved to approve consolidation of parks and naming of Starkey Park. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 4.Request for approval of funding to help light the large baseball 163 March 27, 2001 field at the new South County Park. (Pete Haislip, Director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism) A-032701-4 Mr. Haislip advised that with the development of the new park in south county, the South County Recreation Clubs and Roanoke County agreed to allocate the new park to Cave Spring American so they could develop a tournament level complex on County owned property. The Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department supports this action because it fits in to the long term plan for each county athletic program as well as the County’s sports marketing program. Cave Spring American Little League has agreed to give up a lit field at Shell Park, for the unlit field at South County Park (now Starkey Park). This allowed the Cave Spring Girls Softball Association to create their own tournament level complex, but left Cave Spring American short one lit field. The Cave Spring American Little League Program is asking the County to help light the large field for the coming season. Mr. Haislip explained that the Cave Spring American Little League is strongly committed to developing a first class baseball complex and are looking at a total long-term investment of close to $200,000. They have also implemented a successful fund-raising campaign with total cash and pledges of over $70,000, which will be used for scoreboards, batting cages, bleachers, and other improvements. Because some of these funds are dedicated to specific improvements, they need an additional $25,000 to match the approximately $35,000 they have received to light the large field this spring. In order to save money, they would like to light the small and large fields at the same time. Because of the significant financial and community support for this project, the Cave Spring American Little League is requesting that this portion of the project be accelerated. However, here are no funds currently available in 164 March 27, 2001 the Parks, Recreation and Tourism budget to match the funds raised by the Cave Spring American Little League. Staff is requesting an appropriation of $25,000 from the Capital Account to match funds raised by the Cave Spring American Little League to light the large field at the new South County Park. Supervisor McNamara moved to approve funding of $25,000 from the Capital Account with the Capital Account being reimbursed from any settlement with Virginia Gas Pipeline. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 5.Consideration of the acquisition of additional shares of ownership in the New River Valley Commerce Park. (Jill Barr, Assistant Director of Economic Development) A-032701-5 Ms. Barr reported that Roanoke County has participated in the Virginia’s First Regional Industrial Facility Authority since July of 1998. The County supported the creation of the New River Valley Commerce Park in Pulaski County with a Participation Agreement in 1999. The County currently owns 10,000 shares representing an annual contribution of $27,500. According to the Participation Agreement, annual payments by the participants shall continue until all debt repayment is accomplished and may be reduced as the loans are paid. The total estimated cost of the project was $6,908,500, with two loans outstanding. Ms. Barr advised that originally, there were 12 members participating in the ownership of the Commerce Park. Recently, Wythe County has decided to 165 March 27, 2001 withdraw from the Authority, which has made available their 9,000 shares for redistribution to the remaining 11 members. The 9,000 shares must first be offered to the participating jurisdictions in proportion to their initial investment. The remaining shares not purchased in this round will be offered to those jurisdictions that bought additional shares during the first round offering. Finally, any remaining shares will then be offered Pulaski County. The impact on Roanoke County under this first round offering would be to consider the purchase of 638.30 additional shares at $1,755 annually. This would increase the County’s total participation to 10,638.30 shares, or 7.1% ownership in the Park. The additional cost of $1,755 annually for the increased shares would make Roanoke County’s total contribution $29,255 per year. The current allocation is funded through the County’s Public Private Partnership budget and the proposed increase would also be funded through this budget. Ms. Barr recommended that the Board approve the acquisition of additional shares in the New River Valley Commerce Park. Supervisor McNamara questioned whether the Board would also be taking on additional debt if they purchased additional shares. Mr. Hodge responded he would check on whether the County is assuming the debt. Supervisor Nickens pointed out that the County should continue to be involved and didn’t think the small cost should be a concern. Supervisor Nickens moved to approve acquisition of the additional shares. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 166 March 27, 2001 6.Consideration of bid protest of Heimann Systems concerning x-ray security equipment for Roanoke County. (Joseph Obenshain, Senior Assistant County Attorney) R-032701-6 Mr. Obenshain reported that Section 17-129 of the Roanoke County Code prescribes that the Board of Supervisors shall issue a written decision stating its reason within ten days of a bid protest. This decision is final unless an action is filed with the Circuit Court in accordance with Section 17-134 of the County Code. Supervisor Nickens suggested that this issue be discussed in closed meeting. Supervisor Johnson moved to adopt the resolution DENYING the bid protest. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None RESOLUTION 032701-6 DENYING BID PROTEST OF HEIMANN SYSTEMS, CORP TO AN AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR X-RAY SECURITY EQUIPMENT FOR ROANOKE COUNTY COURTHOUSE WHEREAS, Heimann Systems Corp of Pine Brook, New Jersey has filed a formal protest of an announcement of an award of a contract for X-ray equipment for Roanoke County Courthouse security pursuant to a Request for Proposal (RFP) # CP99-0049; and, WHEREAS, after review of documentation provided by both the protesting company and the successful bidder, Security Defense Systems Corp., and after considering the recommendation of the Roanoke County Purchasing Department; and, WHEREAS, Section 17-129 of the Roanoke County Code requires the Board of Supervisors to issue a final decision, in writing, on any bid protest, stating the reasons for the action taken, within ten (10) days of receipt of such bid protest ; and, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, as follows: 1.That upon a determination that the X-ray scanner equipment offered by Security Defense Systems Corp in their bid response to Roanoke County RFP # CP99-0049 complies in all material respects with the bid specifications of said RFP, there exists no basis for this bid protest, and accordingly, the bid protest of Heimann Systems Corp. is denied. This decision is final. 167 March 27, 2001 2.That this resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after March 27, 2001. On motion of Supervisor Johnson to adopt the resolution denying the bid protest, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None IN RE:REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND FIRST READING OF REZONING ORDINANCES - CONSENT AGENDA Chairman Minnix announced that the following first reading had been withdrawn by the petitioners. 1.First reading of ordinance to obtain a Special Use Permit to operate a convenience store on 1.612 acres located at 3752 Challenger Road, Hollins Magisterial District, upon the petition of Go-Mart, Inc. IN RE:FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES 1.First reading of ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the Roanoke County Code prohibiting the flying of any aircraft including motorized and non-motorized remote control planes, helicopters, and gliders in public parks without a County Parks & Recreation Permit. (Pete Haislip, Director of Parks, Recreation and Tourism) Mr. Haislip reported that recently there have been numerous complaints concerning the rocket launching, and flying of remote control planes, helicopters, and other small aircraft in County parks. The existing park ordinance clearly prohibits the firing of missiles, rockets, firecrackers, and fireworks on County property without a permit from the Director of Parks and Recreation. This ordinance was designed to 168 March 27, 2001 protect patrons using the parks, while at the same time allowing for the managed use of fireworks, missiles etc., with a special use permit. Mr. Haislip explained that the staff and police have been able to address the issue of rockets and missiles in the parks, but the ordinance does not address the flying of remote control planes or gliders etc. Currently, nothing prohibits a citizen from flying these types of aircraft on County properties which are inappropriate for this activity. Staff feels, and the County Attorney concurs, that due to the inherent danger in flying these crafts, the County has the responsibility to manage their use. Consequently, staff is recommending that the park ordinance be amended to prohibit the flying of motorized and non-motorized remote control planes and gliders without a special use permit. This will allow the Parks and Recreation Department the opportunity to manage this activity in the best interests of all park patrons. Staff will be meeting with the users to discuss the potential of creating some type of flying club and to help establish the policies and procedures to allow this activity on public properties. Supervisor Church asked Mr. Haislip to work with the citizens who wish to fly remote control planes and gliders. Supervisor Nickens moved to approve the first reading and set the second reading for April 10, 2001. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 2.First reading of ordinance to approve the purchase and financing of the Salem Bank & Trust Building. (Diane Hyatt, Chief Financial Officer) 169 March 27, 2001 Ms. Hyatt advised that on March 13, 2001, the Board authorized the County staff to proceed with the purchase and financing of the Salem Bank & Trust Building. The County will purchase the building for $2,400,000 from East Main Properties, L.L.C. The financing will be done as a lease/purchase through the Industrial Development Authority of Roanoke County (IDA). The entire building will be owned by the County, leased to the IDA for a period not to exceed 25 years, and leased back to the County. The County currently leases three of the five floors of the building for Social Services, so the financing will be 60% non-taxable and 40% taxable. Ms. Hyatt reported that staff retained Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern to review and evaluate the building. Based upon this evaluation, staff recommends replacing the existing fire alarm devices with a completely new fire detection and alarm system. The purchase of the building, the fire alarm and the closing costs will total $2,650,000. The most favorable bid was from SunTrust bank at 6.32% for the taxable bonds and 5.39% for the non-taxable bonds. The debt service will be covered from the net revenues of the building. The IDA will consider the financing at their meeting on April 4, 2001. Supervisor Nickens moved to approve the first reading and set the second reading for April 10, 2001. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None ABSTAIN:Supervisor Johnson 3.First reading of ordinance authorizing a Special Sewer Service Area/Reimbursement Agreement for the Hanging Rock Commercial District. (Gary Robertson, Utility Director) 170 March 27, 2001 Mr. Robertson advised that the Hanging Rock Commercial District has been plagued with marginal septic systems for years, and because of poor soil, the area will not meet today’s standard for new septic systems. This has been a major impediment to new development in the area. Although public water is presently available to the area, public sewer is more than 2,500 feet away at the Roanoke County Public Service Center. Although the County has received numerous inquiries in the past for public sewer, existing businesses have not chosen to financially support extension of public sewer to the area. Mr. Robertson announced that a new convenience store is being proposed for the area by Sheetz Convenience Stores on property owned by Everett J. Miles, Sr. This new development desires public sewer and is willing to fund the initial cost of the sewer extension. The developers have expressed a desire to recover a portion of their cost as other commercial properties connect to this sewer line. Commercial property in the immediate area is very limited; therefore, the developers could not recover their investment through normal connection fees. They have requested that a special service area be established for the Hanging Rock Commercial District so that each property would pay their fair share at the time of connection. These fees would be collected by Roanoke County and reimbursed to the developer in accordance with the reimbursement agreement. In addition Roanoke County will participate in upgrading the sewer line from 8 inches to 12 inches diameter. This will provide adequate capacity for future extensions along Route 311 towards Masons Cove and to the Laurel Woods subdivision. This participation would be in the amount of $30,000 and would be funded from the Public/Private Partnership account. Mr. Robertson requested that the Board approve a special sewer service area, with special connection fees, approve a reimbursement agreement to allow these 171 March 27, 2001 fees to be refunded to the developer of the sewer extension and to allow Roanoke County to participate in upgrading the sewer line in the amount of $30,000. The $30,000 participation would be funded from the Public/Private Partnership account. In response to a question from Supervisor Church, Mr. Robertson advised that he was not sure how many homes are located in Laurel Woods but the County would be in a position to take water and sewer into that area. Supervisor Church moved to approve the first reading and set the second reading for April 10, 2001. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None IN RE:APPOINTMENTS 1.Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission Supervisor Church nominated Richard Kelley to serve another three-year term which will expire April 8, 2003.

Mr. Covey reviewed the history of the Street Light Policy advising that prior to 1986, the Board voted on each street light request; after 1986, an evaluation form was implemented; and in 1992, the Board approved the Citizen Appeals Committee. He explained how the evaluations were scored and explained that the intent is to ensure the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and that the crime rate was not a major factor. He described the current policy and procedures for requesting a street light. If a request scores 70 points or greater, the request is forwarded to American Electric Power for installation when the funds are allocated; if the evaluation scores between 55 and 69 points, a review by the Appeals Committee may be requested. There was no consensus to make any changes to the policy. 175 March 27, 2001 2.Update on WEB Site Redesign and eGovernment Initiative The work session was held from 5:50 p.m. until 6:10 p.m. and was presented by Elaine Carver and Elton Gee. Ms. Carver advised that In the late 1990's Roanoke County brought its Internet site on line. With the help of Web Masters in each department, staff has been able to maintain the Web site with minimal cost. Most of the data on the site is of an informational nature, with some e-government functions provided in different places on the site. In order to position the County to provide citizens with these capabilities Mr. Hodge has supported the need to redesign the County Web site to make it easier to navigate, provide a better look, and provide our citizens with 24hours/7days access to the information and services they want and need. Since early February the Information Technology Department has been working on a Web site and e-government needs th assessment.

F. Walker. Mr. Harrington reported that this was a petition to rezone 4.369 acres from AG-1, Agriculture to AR, Agricultural Residential to construct new single family houses located at 1114 Skyview Road, Catawba Magisterial District. 191 March 27, 2001 At the Planning Commission, concern was expressed that this area may have been incorrectly designated as Neighborhood Conservation because of the location of the County water line. They considered Skyview Road dangerous and had erosion concerns, and thought that some of the trees would have to be cut in order to put septic systems in. Other concerns were that there are many rock outcroppings on the property and there is no guarantee that the lots could be developed if the septic systems would fit on the proposed lots. Mr. Walker was present and reported that one lot has already been approved for septic and that he will be building homes worth $150,000 to $160,000. Supervisor Church responded that he was still concerned about the road and the neighborhood opposition to the request. In response to a question from Supervisor Minnix, Mr. Harrington advised that because of the steepness and terrain and hairpin turn in the road, it could not be improved to current state standards. Supervisor Church suggested that the other Board members visit the site before making a decision and moved to delay action until April 10, 2001. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:Supervisors Johnson, McNamara, Church, Nickens, Minnix NAYS:None 3.Second reading of ordinance to obtain a Special Use Permit to operate an Automobile Dealership, Used on 1.4088 acres located at 3328 Peters Creek Road, Catawba Magisterial District, upon the petition of Marc I.

The Planning Commission requested a definition of an accessory use which is clearly incidental and subordinate to the principal land use.
