Planning and Zoning Director Terry Harrington reported that
this request has three parts ( 1) land use amendment (2) proposed
rezoning and (3) special exception permit.
Mr. Harrington advised that the staff concluded that the
property, because of its proximity to the existing Jamison Industrial
Park,
could be ei ther neighborhood conservation or principal
industrial. The Planning Commission felt that the part of the parcel
proposed for change should be redesignated as Principal Industrial and

recommended the amendment to the official map of the comprehensive
plan.
Mr. Harrington advised that the rezoning request is to
permit the construction of a three phase development (1)
9,000 sq.
ft. office facility for Dragon Corporation (2) 24,000 sq. ft.
warehouse facility and (3) additional 24,000 sq. ft of warehouse
facility. A concept plan has been proffered together with eight other
proffered conditions. The Planning Commission recommended in favor of
the rezoning request. There were many citizen concerns expressed at
the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Harrington advised that the third request is for a
special exception permit which would allow the offices to be built
first. The Planning commission endorsed this request.
Mr. Harrington explained that the special exception permit
could not be approved without the rezoning request approval; however,
the rezoning and land use amendment could be approved or denied
separately.
Mr.
Ed Natt,
attorney,
representing the petitioner,
introduced Mr. Jim Wilson, President of Dragon corporation, who
explained that the corporation manufactures small package chemicals
and plant food for backyard gardens.
They do not manufacture
chemicals but blend products. Due to the company's growth, they need
additional space. Mr. Arnie Rose, Architect, was also present.
Mr. Natt exhibited the concept plan and pointed out that 47%
of the space will remain green space.
He commented on each of the
eight proffered conditions regarding how they addressed the citizens'
927 'i
December 17, 1991
.~ -- ~--
--
concerns and the viability of the project.
Mr. Natt advised that the formulating of products will
continue to be done on the existing property.
He stated that
regarding environmental concerns, the company is regulated by at least
ten different agencies. In 26 years of operations, they have not been
cited for any violations.
Mr. Natt stated that the land use designation is the key
issue in the matter. Approximately 2/3 or 3/4 of the site is already
in an area designated principal industrial property. The property on
the other side is neighborhood conservation with only a strip of
neighborhood conservation between the rear of the principal industrial
and Enon Drive. There is a large amount of transition property on the
other side of Enon Drive.
The following citizens spoke against granting the land use
amendment, rezoning and special exception permit:

Mr. Harrington advised that this is a request to amend the
conditions on the property which was originally zoned to facilitate
the construction of the former Bob Bell Nissen facility. This petition
will rezone the back half to M-1 to facilitate the operation of Mr.
Vito DeMonte's business.
Mr. Harrington advised that the Planning Commission
evaluated the request and the two proffers and found there would be no
significant impact on the site.
The Planning Commission recommended
approval.
Mr. Don Wetherington, representing the petitioner, outlined
the reasons they believe that there would not be any problems with
noise, unsightliness, odors or emissions causing environmental damage.
He indicated that this was a service establishment and not a
manufacturing facility. He felt the rezoning was consistent with the
core designation and compatible with the other businesses and
activities in the area.

RESOLUTION 121791-17 OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OF THE COUNTY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA WITH RESPECT
TO ROANOKE COUNTY RESOURCE AUTHORITY LANDFILL FINANCING
The Board of Supervisors ("Board") of the County of Roanoke,
Virginia ("County") created the Roanoke County Resource Authority
("Authority") by resolution adopted June 14, 1989. The Authority was
created, among other things, to provide for the development and
operation of a sanitary landfill to serve the County and such other
entities as the Authority may determine ("Project").
The Authority
intends to finance the acquisition, construction, development and
equipping of the Project by the issuance of its revenue bonds
("Bonds") and notes in anticipation thereof ("Notes"). The Board has
determined that it is in the best interest of the County to assist the
Authority in the acquisition, construction, development and equipping
of the Project and the financing thereof.
The Board adopted
resolutions on November 15, 1989 and December 18, 1990 agreeing to
assist the Authority in such financing and desires to reaffirm such
