and that that committee report back to the Board in six months

call vote.
Supervisor Nickens also recommended that the Board
receive requests for funds from any agency that has requested
funds in the past and that the staff respond to those requests by
providing them with a copy of the standard application form.
After discussion, the Board directed that the deadline for
applications be March 31, 1985.
2. Development Framework Guide - Mr. Rob Stalzer,
Director of Planning presented the Development Framework Guide
with changes made since the last meeting with the Board of
Supervisors. Mr. Stalzer and his staff have evaluated all

of residential and industrial development growth.
Bonsack has been determined as an urban development or
urban transition, and eventually urban services in this area.
vinton will eventually be urban services.
Mount Pleasant has been changed from a village and
rural preserve area to urban services because of the potential
regional use of the landfill.
Clearbrook has been designated as a future urban area.
Supervisor Nickens questioned Mr. Stalzer about the
impact of a circumferential of 419 and 220. Mr. Stalzer reported
that he recommended the Salem circumferential and tying in 419
I
with the West County area. This is scheduled on the 1995
Thoroughfare Plan.
Mr. Stalzer reported that the basic change in southwest
would be that the urban area has been restricted to its current

status and future growth in the Buck Mountain area as opposed to
extending it out towards Boones Mill along Route 220.
I
3. Parks and Development - Gary Huff, Department of
Public Facilities, reported on the parks development. Mr. Huff
presented a package of materials to the Board which contained
acreage of land the County currently uses for parks, state
standards, maps of areas discussed, and standards used for park
development. Mr. Huff explained the difference between a
neighborhood park and a community park. A neighborhood park
consists of basically "walk-in" traffic and a minimum of 5 acres
while a community park consists of more construction, a minimum
of 20 acres. A district park consists of a minimum of 50 acres
and has service that exceeds a 5 mile radius and is much more
developed.
Supervisor Nickens suggested looking at private parks
I
built by contractors of large subdivisions to relieve the demand
on Roanoke County to produce acreage for parks.
County Administrator, Donald R. Flanders, requested
that Mr. Huff background the Board on how he is fusing in the
development of the CIP and the Comprehensive plan with park
development. The Comprehensive Plan will enable Mr. Huff and his
staff to know in which areas to purchase land, areas where land
is already purchased, land purchased but needing development and
the development needs and revenue costs.
4. Rural Additions - John Peters, Public Facilities,
presented a work sheet with code provisions which affect rural
additions. Mr.Peters stressed the fact that any street shown on
I
record plat or otherwise opened to public use prior to July 1,
1977, can qualify as a rural addition, it does not have to be
.............
rural in nature. He also reported to the Board that any person
with ownership and/or partnership in more than one lot along the
road is deemed to have a speculative interest in the development.
A road cannot be accepted as a rural addition unless any people
~
u
~
500 ~
March 5, 1985
who have speculative interest pay a pro-rata portion of the total
cost.
He also reported that the Highway Commission has mandated I
I
I
I
that the maximum funds a County can set aside is two percent of
the total construction and maintenance funds that the County
receives. Last year Roanoke County received approximately
$54,000.00; this year Roanoke County's secondary construction
monies will increase by approximately $400,000.00 which will add
an additional $8,000.00 to rural additions for this year. Mr.
Peters also presented a copy of the Rural Addition Policy which
was approved by the Board on March 27, 1984. A copy of this
policy has been included in the official packet. An update on
the existing priority list was also provided to the Board along
with a status of funds. As of December 31, 1984, Roanoke County
had a balance of $115,699.45. Mr. Flanders, County
Administrator, reported that in addition to the $115,699.45, the
County would also have 1985's allocation of $64,000.00 which
leaves a balance of $179,699.45, to be available as of July 1,
1985, assuming that the Board puts aside the $64,000.00 for rural
additions.
Mr. Peters presented a list of new projects for the
rural additions list: Bunker Hill, problems with drainage
easements and speculative interest agreement; Pinkard Court
Subdivision, four streets have been requested to be included in
rural additions - Valley Street and Washington Road (both are
ready), Summit street and pinkard Street (additional signatures
are needed); Canyon Road, should be marked off list since it does
not qualify; Raintree Road, ready but only a portion qualifies;
Dwight Street, ready and the Church has agreed to dedicate the
necessary turn around; Route 603, staff is still in process of
researching; South Mountain Drive (present no. 5 priority), need
turn around dedicated and cannot recommend until more cooperation
from residents is offered; Airpoint Drive and Road (present no. 6

priority), drainage easement is required; Verndale Road (present
no. 7 priority), drainage system needs to be completed.
Supervisor Nickens requested Mr. Peters to explain why
the road leading to Pinkard Court School was not included in the
above list. Mr. Peters reported that the County must prove that
it was a County maintained road before 1932 and then it would be
possible that the Highway Department would take it over according
to the Byrd Act. However, in 1985, legislation was passed that
required any public road to have a 30 foot right of way. The
Highway commission has established a policy that no road
construction can take place with less than a 40 foot right of way.
If the County cannot delegate this responsibility to the Highway
Department through the Byrd Act, the County will have to add 10
feet to the right of way already existing.
Supervisor Nickens moved that priorities be established
in the following order:
I
1. Valley Street and Washington Road
2. Dwight Street
3. Airpoint Drive
4. Verndale Road
5. Bunker Hill
Supervisor Nickens called for questions. The motion
carried by a unanimous voice vote.
I
5. Roanoke County Senior Citizens Hall of Fame -
Debbie pitts of the Department of Parks and Recreation was
present to answer any question the Board may have about this
project. This awards program has been designed to enable
Roanoke County to recognize and honor individuals aged 60 and
over who have rendered or will be rendering outstanding service
or making significant contributions to the County. The Hall of
Fame will encourage individuals, organizations, businesses and
industries, to nominate outstanding senior adults, a selection
committee will be set up to review and select up to three

individuals to receive the award either annually or every other
year. The award will be a plaque or some other type of
appropriate award or a hall of fame setting with portraits with ,
documentation of contributions to be placed in the history book. I
The awards are scheduled to be given at a banquet or by the Board
of Supervisors in May, Senior Citizens Month. The Department of
Parks and Recreation will administer, promote, and coordinate the
program and the annual cost will be approximately $750.00.
Chairman McGraw suggested that there be more than three
recipients for the first year. Supervisor Brittle requested that
the Board keep the recipients at three so the award will hold a
special meaning. Supervisor Nickens moved to approve the concept
of this plan and that the details be worked out by an established
committee to begin May 1986. The motion carried by a unanimous
I
voice vote.
6. Fees for Subdivision waiver and Amendment Per
I
Action of County Board on February 12, 1985 - Timothy Gubala,
Superintendent of the Department of Development, reported that
Roanoke County currently has no established fee for either
amending conditions on a conditional rezoning or for reviewing
subdivision waiver requests. He also reported that he has
submitted the County's fee proposal to the Roanoke Valley
Homebuilders and that they do not agree with any fees but will
raise no objection to the $70.00 for amending conditions on a
conditional rezoning and a fee of $50.00 for review of
subdivision waiver request.
The current subdivision fees for a waiver are set as
follows: For a regular subdivision, the fees are based on the
number of lots. There is a one time filing fee of $50.00 plus
$10.00 per lot to a maximum of $250.00.
Supervisor Minter requested that this matter be placed
on the Consent Agenda of the March 12, 1985, meeting.
