IN RE: FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES

located in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District, to be retained
and used for the preservation and provision of open-space land
(Tax Map Number 076.01-01-07.00-0000) (Lindsay Webb, Parks,
Planning and Development Manager)
Ms. Webb outlined the request for ordinance.
Supervisor Radford commented that the developer gave that land and it is
great to see we can use it.
Supervisor Mahoney inquired if because a portion of the property is zoned
R-1, to provide further protections would staff recommend that sometime in the future
that we rezoned that small portion that is R-1 to AG-3. He understands it is in
conservation, but would you see that as being necessary or are the current protections
in place. Ms. Lower, Senior Assistant County Attorney, responded the deed restrictions
are sufficient. Mr. Thompson responded it depends on the uses; Parks are allowed in
both of those districts. We could think about that when we update the zoning ordinance
after the comprehensive plan amendment and roll that into the comprehensive rezoning.

Intensity Commercial District with conditions, located at 3250
Electric Road, Cave Spring Magisterial District (Philip Thompson,
Director of Planning)
Mr. Thompson provided a PowerPoint presentation. Applicant, Jonathan
Yates provided a PowerPoint presentation.
Supervisor Peters commented it is a much better fit than last time and he
is in support.
Supervisor North commented that a lot of places do not maintain the
equipment outside of the car wash, i.e. the vacuum cleaners and then charge the
market rate of $10, when one down the street charges the same and does a better job;
location, location, location. What is going to be the charge for a basis wash. Mr. Yates
advised their basic wash is $8. He noted that they don’t the way some of these National
players that have come in a bought mom and pop facilities. Being a family business, we
have oversight, a great local management team that we are very proud of our washes in
the Roanoke Valley.
Supervisor Mahoney asked with regard to the concept plan and the
movement of traffic. So, he goes through three (3) options to get in and when leaving
he goes to the left to go to the vacuum or the right to get back out on the road. At that
time, do you see some potential traffic conflicts there. Mr. Yates advised that route is
very common with our washes. It is generally not a point of conflict. It may get busy
after a snow event. He will support the application, but he attempts to go to Crunch
gym, which is up the hill from this and sometimes when you come out, the way the
existing Ruby Tuesday stands, when you come around the corner, you vision will be
blocked sometimes. He guesses when this structure, you will not have the visibility
issue with Ruby Tuesday.
Chairman Mahoney opened the public hearing. The following citizen
spoke:
Joanna Phelps of 4022 Hidden Lane stated she agreed with Supervisor
Mahoney as cars are coming around the corner. Some people come around and don’t
even look to see what they are doing and then when they get out on Rt. 419, they do
something else. It is comical. If they would take the trees down that they planted in the
back, they could see better. You need to prune the trees.
Chairman Mahoney closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Mahoney commented he has had several conversations with
counsel for the applicant and has indicated he would have liked to have a different
commercial development here, something that might generate more tax revenues and
have greater employment, but at the same time, it is not ours to choose the winners
and/or losers in the free-market capitalist game. There is a lot of car washes on this
stretch of Rt. 419. He wishes them luck as there is going to be a lot of competition.

IN RE: REPORTS AND INQUIRIES OF BOARD MEMBERS
Supervisor Radford thanked staff for holding the retreat we recently had
last weekend at Explore Park. He thought it was a worthwhile investment of time and
for us to have a good discussion. Saturday got a little long, but we got through it. He
might have gained a little weight. It was a great meeting. He looks forward to the work
that will continue with Mr. Caywood and staff. He also wanted to let the Board know
that he gets words of gratitude from citizens for holding the line on personal property
tax. It is coming to all five of us and that continues to be a blessing from our
community.
Supervisor Peters reiterated what Supervisor Radford said about the
retreat. He thinks that it is good to know that we have five (5) people rowing in the
same direction and we have administration who are there to help lead us and make the
necessary changes for Roanoke County. He too has heard a lot from folks regarding
the personal property taxes as we have seen a couple of neighbors who don’t seem to
be doing anything about it. Our citizens have been very thankful for that. Lastly, he did
not do it earlier, but the reason he did not support the capital budget because anyone
that knows me knows he is a huge advocate for CTE. It is something that he is
dedicated to and want to see happen; wants to see it for our workforce in Roanoke
County and our students that are moving their way out of high school to have another
option. We have seen over the last couple of years the need for more and more skilled
labor and whether it is HVAC or car technicians or whatever the case may be. He
knows that he is the one that brought up moving the capital budget to borrowing $17
million a year; after he did it he realized that now is not the right time. We don’t know
how we are going to fund CTE yet and until that is known, he was not comfortable
borrowing more on our debt load. The CTE that is something the five Board members
have worked in concert with our school board. We now have ten (10) citizens working
by our side, helping us through this process and he wants to make sure we can make
this happen. He is not against anything in the capital budget, his concern is the debt
side of it. Until we hammer out exactly how we are going to afford this, he prefers to
keep it where it is.
Supervisor Hooker stated she is also appreciative to staff for the weekend
retreat; it was excellent and very worthwhile our time. She stated it was good to have
the recognitions tonight; it was a good variety coming from Hidden Valley and Cave
Spring. It is always good. We have exceptional students in Roanoke County schools.

Supervisor North stated it is good to have other school districts in here,
William Byrd is going to come one day in the future and so will Northside. We do have
a great school system and athletics. Our sources at the Department of Rail and Public
Transportation in Richmond have told the Alleghany Regional Commission when he
inquired about the second train. Now they are telling us the middle of July. The second
train will be a southbound train coming from Washington, DC arriving around 1:30 p.m.
with a late afternoon departure going back to Washington, DC and onward towards New
York and Boston. There are working on finalizing schedule and so more to come on
that in the future. Mr. Caywood, Jill Loope and he attended a Virginia Research and
Innovations of Better Health and Economics at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute.
They talked about a few things, but he wanted to share some facts with the folks at
home that may not have read Mr. Yancey “Cardinal News.” The money statistic:
Roanoke now has more research spending taking place here than in all 15 of its sister
peer cities put together, i.e. Charlottesville, Evansville, Indiana, Greenville, South
Carolina, Knoxville, Tennessee and Winston-Salem, North Carolina to name a few.
Three year ago, President Agee said there were 23 clinical trails taking place in
Roanoke; now there are 130, which is quite an increase. Virginia Tech’s overall NIH
funding grew by 60%. The economic goal is to spin off a lot of this research into
commercial applications – companies that might start here and grow here. The big
picture, the Roanoke Valley is developing a cluster of life sciences businesses, one that
it hopes to nurture and growth into something bigger. Mr. Fralin, when speaking to the
group said, “It’s not just the size of the research institute, but the whole life sciences
research ecosystem in Roanoke – something that didn’t even exist a dozen years ago.”
Both Chambers of the General Assembly have included in their budgets, yet to be
approved, $15.7 million to build lab space in Roanoke. The City has also put $1.9
million towards the project. 98% of all lab space in the “biotech corridor” in neighboring
Maryland is already taken. The Roanoke Valley and the New River Valley are now very
intent on making sure those companies come here. A few weeks ago, Virginia Western
Community College announced establishing a biotechnology program. The reason he
shares these facts is that he would like to see Roanoke County also be included in the
lab growth because we include much of our relationship with Carilion, but we have an
opportunity here to get some of our vacant office space turned into labs. It is a driver
that is coming in the future and we should be proud that we are getting all the research
projects that our peer cities aren’t. He hopes in the future there will be some activity in
Roanoke County and challenge staff to see what we can plant in terms of lab research
space. One comment that Supervisor Peters talked about with regard to CTE, he has
been doing some research and shared it with Mr. Lubeck who shared with the Board. If
the General Assembly ever passes a budget and if they pass the Senate amendment,
then our school system can apply for 50% of the interest on these projects, especially
the CTE, and that would be a great revenue source because we are looking for revenue
sources and that would be a big one, even though it is not 100%. You would have to
apply and be accepted. Thank you, Mr. Lubeck, for doing the research and pray that

comes to fruition because we have to have a revenue source; with money we can do a
lot of things.
Supervisor Mahoney stated we just learned today that Roanoke County is
a recipient of three (3) achievement awards from the National Association of Counties,
which honor innovation and effective county government programs that strengthen
services for citizens. The awards are for (1) Capital Improvement Program – Web
Application, which provides citizens easy access to public data and increases
governmental transparency. The second award is for the County receiving recognition
for its Rural Broadband Initiative Application, which allows citizens to view information
about availability of broadband projects in their neighborhoods, all of which happen to
be in Catawba, but that is okay. The third one the County received recognition is for
Reimagine 419 Plan, which leverages public-private partnerships to develop a town
center in the heart of our commercial corridor. This is great news; thinks Supervisor
North wants to go out to Colorado and accept those awards in July. The second
comment, it is National Police Week. He recognized and thanked the members of our
Police Department for their dedication and their commitment to keeping our community
safe. Their service is invaluable to our citizens. There is an annual law enforcement
memorial services that will take place this Thursday, May 12, 2022, at St. John’s
Lutheran Church on Brambleton Avenue at 4:00 p.m. We are privileged to have
Virginia’s Attorney General, Jason Miyares, in attendance this year as a guest speaker.
It is open to public; he encouraged citizens to attend. This is an opportunity to
remember those who died serving our communities.
