May 14, 1985
Request of the Roanoke County Board
of Supervisors for "Use Not
Provided For" permit to operate
Pathways, a girls group home, at 5929
Cove Road, NW, in the Catawba
Magisterial District.
I
APPROVED
Mr. Ed Natt, a member of the Advisory Board of Pathwa s
and as a member of the Board of Youth Haven and Sanctuary, was
present on behalf of Pathways. Mr. Natt reported that an
additional 2,500 square feet will be built on to the 2,700 squa e
foot building. This additional space will be built to the rear
of the house. Mr. Natt presented a floor plan, artists drawing
of the outward appearance of the house, and the actual site
location. There is an open area immediately surrounding the
proposed site with only two homes across the street and a nearb
county school.
Dr. George Bowers, a representative of Youth Haven ana
I
Sanctuary, spoke to the Board explaining the usefulness of such a
facilities. Mr. Bowers reported that no complaints have been
filed against the children in those homes or against the
administration of those homes. The children in these homes are
assigned individual counselors, given attainment charts,
conference with families, counseling with other families with
similar problems, follow-up and after care. Dr. Bowers also
reported that these homes are a savings to taxpayers since it
costs $22,000 per year to commit a child to state institutions
while it costs less than one-fifth of that amount to place the
child in a local institution. 100 percent of operating costs i
addition to a portion of the actual building costs, is provided
by the State. Two-thirds of employee salaries is provided by t e
State. Dr. Bowers stressed to the public that Pathways is a
I
project of Roanoke City, Roanoke County, and Salem.
Mr. Heywood Fralin explained to the Board his earlier
statement in 1983 concerning that the project would not be plac d
-----
in a residential area unless there was 100 percent support. Mr

Fralin reported that at the time of the statement, they had
secured a very attractive site, pioneer Carpet on 220 South
adjoining the Red Hill Baptist Church. This location was not
approved by the state. Mr. Fralin presented a letter from the
Department of Corrections, dated May, 1985, which informed
Pathways that this location was denied.
Mr. Natt reported that a survey of 22 group homes was
made. Sixteen of the twenty-two responded. The 16 respondents
were Martinsville, Arlington County, Winchester, Chesapeake,
Henrico County, Charlottesville, Williamsburg, Fairfax, Norfolk,
Lynchburg, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach. Ten of the sixteen
responded that the group home was located in a residential zonec
area. Four responded that their homes were in a business zoned
location. Fourteen out of 16 responded that property values ha'~
risen; two indicated that some property values have gone up whi]e
others remained stable. All 16 of the assessors surveyed
reported that the group home had no impact on the property of tte
neighborhood. Also the assessor of Roanoke County indicated thét
Pathways will not be a factor in determining property values in
the area. Mr. Natt also reported that 19 sites were researched.
Opposition was also asked for site suggestions. All sites were
considered. At the insistence of the Planning Commission, a ne~
site selection committee was developed and considered the same
sites and new sites suggested by the opposition. The new
committee also selected the Cove Road site. Mr. Natt also
reported that there would be 24 hour supervision at the home anë
that the children will not be of criminal element. Pathways wi]
be managed like Youth Haven and Sanctuary, which neither have hé1
complaints against them. Mr. Natt also invited the citizens frcn
the area to serve on the Advisory Board. Mr. Natt also reportec
that the institution cannot expand since it is a state regulaticn
that it cannot house more than 12 girls.

Supervisor Burton inquired as to types of problems thE
I girls would have. Mr. Trent, Executive Director of Youth Haven¡
reported that the types of children to be served in this home
I
will probably have been involved in property related offenses,
children in need of services (children who will not attend schocl
regularly, beyond parental control, or run aways).
Mr. Jim Swanson, attorney for the citizens opposing
Pathways, was present not to challenge the concept of Pathways
but of the location. Mr. Swanson presented a petition with 595
signatures of residents opposing Pathways at the Cove Road
location. The citizens in the area are opposing the rezoning
because of decline in property values; social element to be
injected into the neighborhood; preservation of the character aId
nature of the neighborhood; concern that Pathways will progress
into a larger facility; concern that management principles cite(
I
earlier will change; emotion; and that Cove Road is not the bes1
location.
Mr. Swanson reported that the County Assessor stated
that "at present there would be no decline in property values".
Mr. Swanson feels that the Assessor is not an unbiased source
since he works for the County and Pathways is petitioned by the
County. He also pointed out that Youth Haven is located in a C-l
Commercially zoned district and he presented an affidavit from é
realtor stating that it could be more difficult to sell real
estate in the area if Pathways is approved. The citizens feel
that the girls placed in this home will be girls that all other
dispositional alternatives available to the Courts have proven
ineffective and possibly the last stop before state commitment
I
for some. There has never been an established form of
preselection criteria. Mr. Swanson also reported that the
County's record for placing other group homes has never been in a
R-l zoned district.

Mr. Swanson reported that Section 15.1-486.2 of the
Code of Virginia, states that physically handicapped, mentally
ill and developmentally disabled persons ought not be excluded
from normal residential surroundings and that the purposes of
this statute is to promote disbursion to achieve "optical
assimilation and mainstreaming into the community." He does not
feel that "similation" will occur in this area since there is 9C
percent opposition within the neighborhood. He feels that the
County will not rule according to its own code if they approve
this permit. Section 15.1-427 intends to encourage local
governments to improve public health, safety, convenience,
welfare of its citizens to the end that residential areas be
provided with healthy surroundings for families. The citizens cf
the area feel that the placement of Pathways in their
neighborhood will be violating this section of the Code of
Virginia. Section 15.1-456 states that "no previous submission
of a location to the local zoning authority can be made without a
determination that the location is substantially in accord with
the adopted comprehensive plan." Mr. Swanson feels that there
has been no determination on this.
Mr. John Anderson, 5208 ponderosa Drive, Roanoke,
Virginia, 24019, was present to oppose the Pathways permit. He
felt that the information was given to the opposition at the la~~
minute.
I
I
Mr. Russell Taylor, 2824 Emissary Drive, Roanoke,
Virginia, spoke in opposition to Pathways.
Ms. Mable Anderson, 5208 Ponderosa Drive, Roanoke,
Virginia, 24019, was also present to speak in opposition.
Mr. Michael K. Dowe, 2912 Embassy Drive, NW, Roanoke,
Virginia, 24019, also spoke to the Board in opposition to
Pathways.
Ms. Wanda Canterbury, 314 Mountain Avenue, Roanoke,
Virginia, 24016, spoke to the Board in support of Pathways. She
--I
~

May 14, 1985
reported that she had been in a home similar to what Pathways
will be. The home was located in Texas but in a neighborhood
similar to Hunting Hills.
Ms. Karen Shelly Hale, 2979 Emissary Drive, NW,
Roanoke, Virginia, 24019, appeared and spoke in favor of pathwa s.
She performed the telephone survey after the citizens were askea
to sign a petition against Pathways. She reported that when th~
petition was presented to her to sign, she was told that the
property would be rezoned for business. After speaking with he
neighbors and finding out that many of them signed the petition
only because they thought the property would be rezoned for
business, she made the telephone survey to see which signatures
signed because of the rezoning.
Mr. Ed Natt stated that he felt the permit would
provide an appropriate use of this land.
Dr. Bowers reported that because Roanoke City is the
only sponsor of Youth Haven, all children from that home attend
Roanoke City schools. It was decided by an appointed committee
that Pathways should be located in the County to balance the
ratio of city children going to County schools and county
children attending city schools.
Supervisor Brittle announced that at the meeting on
January 3, 1985, in which he reported that Cove Road had been
identified as a possible site. There was further investigation
at that time into several other sites. Supervisor Brittle also
announced that any statements he has made about Pathways has be n
made out of his pride in supporting this project and with the
knowledge that the Directors have proceeded in the most direct
and straightforward manner.
Supervisor Brittle moved to approve the permit reques .
Supervisor McGraw announced that when he came to the
Board in January, 1984, the Board was considering a site in Sou h
County to purchase for the group home. The Board tried to
-----
~

I
purchase this property for several months on Route 220 South but
were unable to because of the price. He also stressed that the
statement made earlier that Mr. Willey and other real estate
assessments are only opinions, all real estates appraisals are
only opinions from assessors. Supervisor McGraw also reported
that he did not feel that the vote was taken in agreement with
Mr. Fralin's announcement concerning 100 percent acceptance in
the neighborhood, that the vote was taken only in support of thE
Pathway's concept. Mr. Anderson reported that it was on tape ard
would like for the Board to listen to the tape. Supervisor
I
Minter asked the Chair to allow the tape to be played.
Supervisor Burton stressed to the opposition that Mr.
Fralin's statement was not included in the motion to support thE
Pathways concept at the meeting when it was first brought up.
She felt that the vote tonight is for location of the facility
and its appropriateness, whether it will be detrimental to the
community, whether it will devalue the community or endanger thE
life, health, and welfare.
Supervisor Nickens asked that the Chair make a ruling
in regard to the tape. Chairman McGraw directed Mr. Anderson tc
play the tape. Mr. Swanson and Mr. Natt both had a transcript cf
that meeting. Mr. Swanson read the transcript to the Board. MI.
Swanson read that the motion made by Supervisor Nickens was
"Madame Chairman, clearly the need exists. It has been
demonstrated. I think the State Department of Corrections and
the local judicial people have indicated that the need exists sc
I would move that this Board support in concept the development
of Girl Haven for this area and that appropriate consideration te
given at budget appropriation time."
Supervisor Brittle called for questions on his motion
to approve the permit request for Pathways.

Public Hearing on Ordinance amending
Chapter 5, Animals and Fowl, of the
Roanoke County Code concerning the
keeping of Poultry and Bees.
HELD OVER TO JUNE 4, 1985
I
County Attorney, Paul Mahoney, presented the proposed
ordinance to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Mahoney reported th t
most of the controversy has arisen out of the bee portion of th
ordinance. The key elements will be attempting to regulate
beekeeping by limiting the distance where you can place an apia y
-

<";", ~}
tÞ(50
I
and that distance which is measured from either property line or
occupied dwellings or offices, hotels, motels, highways, etc. to
provide a simple and easy mechanism to enforce the ordinance.
The intent of the ordinance is to limit nuisances or disturbances
I
to neighbors by limiting the placement and location of a hive.
Mr. Jim Miller, 3623 McDaniel Drive, Salem, Virginia,
24l53, spoke to the Board on the bee ordinance. The number of
bees in his neighborhood have increased and have become a hazard
to him and his family. Guests have not returned to his home
because of bees which have prevented him from using his pool and
flower and vegetable gardens.
Mr. Gerald Robertson, 1048 Grove Lane, NW, Roanoke,
Virginia, spoke to the board in support of the ordinance.
Mr. Harvey L. Hotinger, 610 Chestnut Mountain Drive,
Vinton, Virginia, reported to the Board that he is a member of
the Beekeepers Association and that they are not against the
ordinance, they just want a fair ordinance. Mr. Hotinger
suggested that the Board adopt the same distances that the City
of Roanoke has adopted.
Mr. Emory Brown, 3617 McDaniel Drive, Salem, Virginia,
reported that he is a beekeeper. He reported that he is willing
to abide by the ordinance but that the problems that have been
caused by his hives have been by people who are ignorant to 'the
ways' of bees. Supervisor McGraw reported to Mr. Brown that
while he was investigating his hives, that the water source Mr.
Brown provides for the bees was almost empty and suggested to Mr.
Brown that he provide adequate water.

several employees' cars painted. Mr. Brown asked that the Board

with Virginia Tech to see if the County can secure the services

that would eliminate concerns expressed by homeowners and at the
same time protect bees and that the committee act in order for

ordinance at the June 4, 1985, Board of Supervisors meeting.
