REQUEST OF ROBERT L. FOSTER FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO *
OPERATE A LANDFILL USING DIRT, ROCK, WOOD, AND FOLIAGE * APPROVED
AT 1688 WILDWOOD ROAD, SALEM. *
Mr. Foster was present to support this request and some citizens
appeared in opposition. This request was continued from the meeting of March
23, 1982 in order to allow the Supervisors an opportunity to view the land-
fill site. Noel Tickle, resident of the area, opposed the request and stated
that debris from the dumping gets into 'Dry Branch' creek and floats down-
stream creating problems with the creek.
Tim Gubala, County Planner, further read a letter from the local
chapter of the Archeological Society of Virginia which states that 'Potney
Rock' as stated on March 23rd is not a historic landsite as reported.

IN RE:
REQUEST FOR A SIGN MORATORIUM
A recommendation from the Planning Commission recommending that a
60-day moratorium be placed on the issuance of sign permits for billboards
in the County was received by the Board for consideration.
Tony Whitwell, Chairman of the Planning Commission, and Tom Hufford,
member of Planning Commission, were present to support this request. Accord-
ing to Mr. \~itwell and Mr. Hufford, 60 days is needed to study the impact on
I
the County due to the recent enactment of an ordinance regulating such bill-
boards in the City of Roanoke. They further stressed the point that it
will be essential to have the assistance of the County Planner and his staff
in order to effectively study this matter. A sub-committee would need to
be formed to assist in the study.
Jerry Bijwaard, Vice President of the Joint Council of Civic Leagues
was present and spoke in support of the moratorium and offered help to the
commission in its study.
Richard Stiff, Steve Bryant and Mr. Turner were present representing
various area sign companies to oppose the moratorium. They pointed out
that only 7 permits have been issued in the past three years. According to
these representatives, no problem has been posed to the County since the
I
enactment of Roanoke City's adoption of a new sign ordinance.
The Board was in concurrence that Tim Gubala, County Planner, is
I.
il
involved with several projects at this time and would not have time to devote
to this new p~oject. It was further pointed out that the Commission is
i'
currently working on a recolmnendation for the new subdivision ordinance
-- (streets) and the County's comprehensive plan and that 60 days is not
~l
~
4-13-82

I
sufficient time to study this sign ordinance now in effect versus Roanoke
City's ordinance and its effect on Roanoke County. Supervisors expressed
the desire to have these other projects completed by the Commission before
beginning a new project, particularly since no problem has arisen in the
County regarding billboards.
Mr. Whitwell and Mr. Hufford noted that the Commission depends upon
the Planning Department for its services in order to operate and that Mr.
Gubala should be available to assist them rather than working on county
projects not related to planning.
After some discussion, Supervisor Myers stated "we have asked the
Planning Commission to come forward and help with the planning and they have
asked for a moratorium for 60 days and will need the Planning Department's
help and other than the part where the Board of Supervisors would be appointee
to this sub-committee but, to include a representative of the Civic Leagues
and two members of the sign industry and, two members from the Environmental
Council, I move that a moratorium be granted and the Planning Department and
Mr. Flanders would find someone in the County departments to work with Tim
and relieve him of some of his duties to help in this situation and that the
moratorium be granted for 60 days and expect a report back;with the special
permission that any sign company that feels they are being hurt, that they
would have the right to make a special request from the Board of Supervisors
for relief." If the study and report cannot be finished in 60 days, the
moratorium would cease. Tim Gubala is to avail his services as Planner to
I
the COlrrmittee for a period of one-half hour per week to help with this study;
