John Mercer, representing Community Psychiatric
Centers, the proponent to actually construct and operate the
facility. The hospital is to be located at the old Trail Drive
In on Route 460 East. The payroll will consist of $2 million per
year, employing approximately 88 employees, and the facility will
contain 52 beds for adolescent patients. The actual facility
will cost approximately $5.2 million to be paid in cash to
prevent a request to an authority in Roanoke County or Roanoke
City for funding. The hospital will also provide workshops and
seminars available to the community.

Crickenburger of J. G. Sheets & Sons from Dr. Richard H. Lowe,
Jr., stating that he thinks the construction of this psychiatric
hospital would be an asset to the County.

hospital would basically be suffering from situational disorders,
adjustment reactions, conduct disorders, some neurosis,
psychosis, none of which include the illnesses that typically
I
result in violent behavior. The staff ratio will be two staff
members to one patient. Mr. Mercer assured the Board that any
time a patient is out of the building, there will be staff
members with him.
Mr. Ron Vest, a concerned citizen asked Supervisor
Minter what steps were necessary to stop the construction of this

I
by the Board, he would have to go to Court to appeal their
decision.
Jerri Walmsley, Route 1, Roanoke, Virginia, also spoke
to the Board in opposition of the hospital.
Supervisor Nickens moved for approval of the Special
Exception Permit and asked that Mr. Mercer meet with the people
present at this meeting in opposition to show them more detailed
information of what the Community Psychiatric Center actually
does.
Supervisor Minter offered a substitute motion to hold
the decision on this Special Exception Permit to allow Mr. Mercer
to meet with the citizens. The motion failed by the following
