R-41393-2
I
Ms. Scheid reported that when the Administrative
Offices move to the Trë.velers Building, the Recreation
Department will be consolidating their functions at the
Administration Center. As a resul t, The Leisure Arts Center
located in Pinkard Court will be vacated. Ms. Scheid advised
that staff had met with residents of the neighborhood and several
alternatives were suggested including a community center, small-
scale apartments for either the elderly and/or physically
disabled individuals, and a day care center.
She advised that the Planning staff recommended that
the County apply for a Community Development Block Grant Program
planning grant to explore the housing option. The grant will
include preliminary engineering and design activities and cost
estimates. At the end of the grant the County would donate the
facility to a responsible entity to follow through with
construction. The $12,000 grant will be for one year.
Supervisor Eddy inquired whether the County's
involvement would end with the planning grant. Ms. Scheid
responded that it could end at that time, or after application
for a Community Development Block Grant construction grant.

Richfield for Payment of Water Connection Fee.
(Clifford Craiq, utility Director)
Mr. Craig advised that Richfield Retirement Community
does not meet the requirements in the current policy whereby the
Board could pay the water connection fees. They have requested
to pay the fee over three years with no interest char,ged as
recognition of their economic benefit to the County. The
ordinance requires that the fee must be increased by twenty
percent to include interest. Mr. Craig recommended that the
Board of Supervisors approve an agreement with Richfield whereby
Richfield could 'pay the $125,000 water connection fee in 36 equal
payments and the County would pay the $25,020 interest.
In response to a question from Supervisor KOhinke, Mr.
Craig advised that there is no precedent for this action, and
that this is the first time a nonprofit organization has asked
for assistance. In response to an inquiry from Supervisor Eddy,
he advised that there are not many organizations similar to
Richfield so this action would not set a precedent that could
include requests from housing developers.
Supervisor Eddy moved to approve the request. The
motion was carried by the following recorded vote:

East Tennessee needs to relocate or parallel the existing gas
line. They have decided to construct river weights on the
existing gas line and construct a parallel gas line within the
existing right-of-way. An agreement has been prepared whereby
Roanoke County will pay the total cost of the construction
estimated at $486,000. Mr. craig requested that the Board

Mr. Mahoney reported that in 1991, staff extended a
written offer of' $4,000 for the parcel of land and the owners
made a verbal counter-offer of $20,000. In November 1991, the
Board authorized eminent domain proceedings. The owners have now
indicated they will accept $6,000 for the purchase and requested
that the County maintain a family cemetery located on an
adjoining parcel.
In response to a question from Supervisor Eddy
regarding costs to maintain the cemetery, Assistant Administrator
John Chambliss advised that the cemetery at Vineyard Park, is
maintained at a cost of $300 - $400 annually. Mr. Mahoney

Mahoney, County Attorney)
Mr. Mahoney reported that at the first reading a Board
member suggested the staff investigate the possibility of
conveying the house and real estate to the Back Creek Volunteer
Fire Company. He recommended that the property not be conveyed
because: (1) it does not have frontage on 12 O'Clock Knob Road;
(2) the tract does not have sufficient road frontage to meet
County requirements; (3) the lot would conflict with the fire
station parking lot; (4) the house and fire station share the

installation of sampling manholes.

IN RE: WORK SESSIONS
~ Work Session to ModifY Sewer Use Ståndards for

utility Director Clifford Craig advised that the draft
ordinance is based upon Board comments and' direction. It
provides for a graduated level of enforcement procedures based on
the amount of infiltration and inflow in the public sewer system.
In response to questions from Supervisor Eddy, Mr.
Craig advised that they complete two or three houses per day and
the only surprise they have found was some areas in higher
elevations had 500 gallons per day of infiltration and inflow.
In response to a question from Supervisor Kohinke, Mr. Craig
advised that he did not think some of the homeowners were aware
