Neil Kinsey presented a report showing where the sign industry differed with the Planning Commission and Sign 1 3 6 ~~ February 27, 1990 Sub~ummlttee'5 recommendations. Tney requested that the term = b::: "taxable value" be replaced with "fair market value". He presented other changes that they requested to the proposed ordinance. A lengthy discussion on the changes followed. Larry Etzler spoke concerning the ordinance as it pertains to temporary signs and requested changes regarding the size of signs and the time limits to display temporary signs. Mr. Turner from Dominion Signs also discussed using taxable value rather than fair market value for amortization. He questioned the legality of using taxable value. He also questioned the legality of section (2) (d) of the proposed ordinance and advised he had an opinion declaring it illegal and unenforceable. There was also a discussion on the separation between freestanding signs. A developer was present to show examples where the limited signage could hurt development of property. Regarding the issue of taxation of signs, Mr. Mahoney advised that the County taxes signs based on their fair market value, so the burden of proof regarding the fair taxation of signs would rest with the sign industry. Following discussion of the ordinance, Don Witt of the Planning Commission advised that the Planning staff would respond to some of the concerns expressed by the sign industry, but many of their suggestions had already been reviewed by the planning staff and planning commission and they do not agree. The Board members asked Mr. Hodge to respond to the February 27, 1990 137 -, concerns in a format similar to that presented by the sign industry and bring back to the Board at first reading of the ordinance on March 13, 1990. - IN RE: RECESS There being no Executive Session, Supervisor McGraw moved to recess for dinner at 5:20 p.m. The motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.

IN RE: REQUEST FROM CITIZENS TO SPEAK REGARDING "NO LEFT TURN" SIGNS IN BOXLEY HILLS SUBDIVISION Chairman Robers turned the meeting over to Supervisor Johnson for purpose of discussion of the No Left Turn signs at the Boxley Hills subdivision. Supervisor Johnson reviewed the history of problems surrounding the cruising problems in that community. He originally requested that the Virginia Department of Transportation place the No Left Turn signs on Williamson Road in response to a series of meetings and petitions received from over 190 people asking for help in relieving them from the negative impact of cruising in their neighborhood. The signs were not meant to keep people from legally accessing their homes, but to keep cruisers out of the neighborhood. He announced he had received many letters expressing appreciation from citizens who 13 8 February 27, 1990 felt that this action had helped. ~ - The following citizens spoke concerning the impact of the signs: 1. Tom Runions, 802 Commander Drive, spoke in opposition to the signs and stated he had conducted a survey that showed 9 people supporting the signs and 316 against the signs. He also reported that many residents in the community had received tickets for making the illegal turn into their community. 2. Alvin Early, 813 RaYmond Avenue N. W., asked why the people in the Ma1vern Hills area did not receive literature regarding this issue. He spoke in opposition to the signs and asked that all of them be removed. 3. David Clark, pilot Corporation, 5611 Williamson Road, spoke in opposition to the signs because of the adverse impact to his business as a result of cruisers turning around on his property. 4. C. P. Lockhart, 827 Commander Drive, spoke in opposition to the signs. 5. Thomas Elmore, 5815 Darby Road, spoke in support of keeping the signs. He described what the residents on Darby Road had to contend with from the cruisers. He asked that the signs remain until another solution is found. 6. Sally Van Lear, 729 Palmyra Drive, spoke in opposition to the signs and advised that the cruising does not impact the entire neighborhood but only a minority. ¡ February 27, 1990 13 9 ~ 7. Harry Withers, 5734 Thornrose N. W., spoke in support of the signs and questioned the accuracy of the survey that was turned in because he wasn't asked to sign. 8. Virginia Jones, 5619 Darby Road, spoke in support of the signs. 9. Ron Blandy, 810 Commander Drive, spoke in opposition to the signs and advised that many people have been ticketed as a result of the signs. He asked that all signs be removed. Mr. Hodge pointed out that the signs were installed to help the residents and spoke in support of the deputies who were ticketing. Supervisor Nickens pointed out that the citizens who were ticketed had deliberately ignored the law. Supervisor McGraw spoke in support of Supervisor Johnson's efforts to alleviate the problem. Supervisor Eddy advised that he was not knowledgeable about the background of the situation and was unsure how to vote. He suggested further research. Supervisor Johnson described the efforts that he, the Virginia Department of Transportation and staff had done to solve the problem including researching ordinances aimed at eliminating cruising. He pointed out that the No Left Turns were only in force for 18 hours per week. \ Supervisor Johnson moved to ask the Virginia Department of Transportation to remove the signs at Ma1vern and Commander and that the sign on Darby remain.

(CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 19, 1989.) 0-22790-5 Planner Jon Hartley presented the staff report. He reported on the concerns highlighted by staff. Regarding the amendment to the Land Use Plan, the staff felt the factors support the change. The concerns regarding the rezoning included the lack of public road access to the site, the possibility for significant air pollution on the surrounding residential area, and the possibility of noise pollution because the staff does not know what will go on the site. Six conditions have been proffered. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning and amendment to the Land Use Plan by a 4-0-1 vote. Supervisor Johnson expressed concern about the number of low ratings on the staff report because of the lack of knowledge of what industry will locate on the site, but felt that the proffers will address some of the problems. February 27, 1990 14 1 = In response to a question from Supervisor Eddy, Mr. Hartley explained that while they can recommend conditions, the property owner must agree to any conditions. Gail Boyer, 1209 Beaumont Road N. E., representing the Hollins Action League, spoke in opposition to the rezoning because of the devaluation of property, bad road conditions and lack of knowledge of what industry will go on the property. She questioned the legality of rezoning property without an option to buy. Mr. Mahoney advised that a governing body has the right to rezone any property. Supervisor Johnson moved to grant the petition.

(PETITIONER REQUESTED CONTINUANCE TO MARCH 27, 1990) An ordinance to amend the Future Land Use Map designation of a 24.09 acre tract from Rural Village to Principal Industrial, and to conditionally rezone said property from M-2 to M-3 to construct and operate an asphalt batch mix plant, and east of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Cave Spring Magisterial District, upon the request of Virginia Asphalt Paving Co., Inc. Mr. Hartley presented the staff report. Significant impact factors included the surrounding land uses such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and the rural nature of the area. The Blue Ridge Parkway did not take an official position but the tower to be constructed could be visible from the parkway. Residents spoke at the Planning Commission expressing concerns about the February 27, 1990 15 3 - no~se, beepers, and potential health risks from air and odor - generated from the plant. The Planning Commission expressed concerns about the Blue Ridge Parkway and groundwater issues and inconsistency with the current land use designation of Rural Village. Proffered conditions were offered by the petitioner to address the noise and air pollution. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the land use amendment by a 5-0 vote but recommended approval of the rezoning by a 3-2 vote. Mike Pace, attorney for the petitioner advised that the property was originally rezoned M-2 to permit Virginia Asphalt to construct its offices and shop facilities on the property. They are now requesting rezoning to M-3 to consolidate their business and build an asphalt plant on the property. He pointed out that the facility will be shielded from the residents by the topography. He described conditions that the petitioner was willing to proffer to address the noise and air pollution such as installation of noise reduction devices, installation of dust control devices, screening and buffering, location of the plant and painting of the facility to blend with the environment. He advised that the staff received a letter from the National Parks Service, but Virginia Asphalt had met with the Parkway District Ranger who visited the site and felt that the Parkway should have no objection to the rezoning. The following citizens spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning citing noise and air pollution, odor and dirt 15 4 February 27, 1990 from the proposea tac~l~ty; ~ncreased traffic, negative health - = factors caused by the pollution, and potential drainage problems. l.

Don Wo1thuis, attorney representing the residents of the C1earbrook community, expressed concern about the enforceability of the proffered conditions in addition to the other concerns. Mr. Pace rebutted that the petitioners were aware of the concerns and that the proffered conditions were designed to address the situations expressed. He reminded that the property is currently zoned industrial and the petitioners would just like to expand their business. Supervisor Robers moved to deny the petition because it was incompatible with the present Rural Village Designation. Supervisor Johnson advised that he felt the site of the proposed rezoning was better than the present site. In response to a question from Supervisor JOhnson, Mr. Hartley replied that the concept plan was not a proffered condition although the petitioner has indicted the location of the plant. Associate Planner Tim Beard described the previous dumping problem on the site and that the petitioners solved the problem to his satisfaction. February 27, 1990 15 5 - supervisor McGraw also expressed concern about maintaining the current Rural Village land use designation.
