---
the Commissioner of Revenue's Office, outlined the Commissioner's report on
adoption of new fees which can now be enacted due to recent State enabling
legislation. Supervisor Minter suggested that uniform fees be established. Mr.

The Board's intention in adopting the resolution is to assign cost of
services provided to the itinerants by Roanoke County. There is no intention to
limit the citizens' rights to purchase. County Attorney, James E. Buchholtz,
requested an Executive Session to discuss a legal matter relating to this item;
and Chairman Johnson indicated that the resolution would not be voted on until
the evening session.
IN RE:
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Supervisor Minter moved to go into Executive Session at 4:45 p.m.
to discuss this legal matter, and the motion carried by a unanimous voice vote.
IN RE:
OPEN SESSION
Supervisor Minter moved to return to Open Sesssion at 5:00 p.m.
Work Session - Custodial Services Superintendent of the Department
of Public Facilities, John Hubbard, and Mr. Homer Duff, Director of Business and
Finance for the School System, evaluated whether utilizing school personnel or
contracting for outside services would be the most economical method to clean
County buildings. School personnel could do this for approximately $113,400. The
existing two-year contract amount is $62,601. Mr. Duff, Mr. Lotz, and Mr.
Swaynick explained the difference in the cost was due to the fact that contractual
services operate in many locations with the same staff rather than assigning staff
to one facility. Supervisor Burton felt that since different strategies needed to
be explored, this would need to be discussed at a future time.
Work Session - Vehicle Maintenance Mr. Hubbard explained that this
report dealt with the feasibility of building additional garage space at the school
garage to provide in-house maintenance for all County vehicles except Fire and
Rescue. The existing County garage has limited space, and a number of vehicles
are being serviced at the Roanoke Street garage. Supervisor Nickens requested
that this be held for further discussion, and Supervisor Minter moved to authorize
the County Administrator to pursue negotiations to obtain an option on property
to make coordinated vehicle maintenance a reality. The motion carried by the
following roll call vote:
AYES:

APPROVED
Local merchants, Mr. Carl Cross, Holdren's, Inc.; Mr. Douglas Basham,
Brambleton Hardware; Mr. William Houck, Jr., Houck & Harrison Advertising; and
Mr. John Ferguson, Audiotronics, Inc.; spoke in favor of adopting the proposed
ordinance.
Mrs. Sylvia Faw, from the Commissioner of Revenue's Office,
explained the fee structure from past years so that the citizens could have a
better understanding of the Board's intention in establishing new fees. Chairman
Johnson explained that the State legislation did not specify any length of time
for establishing the maximum fee, and that it was a matter of interpretation for
the Board. Mrs. Faw then outlined the recommendations of the Commissioner of
Revenue. She also pointed out that State law does exempt certain Peddlers (those
who grow or produce their product), and no Itinerant Merchants are exempt from
State legislation.
Supervisor Nickens moved that the Board concur with the
recommendation of the Commissioner of Revenue's Office with the following
amendments:
Peddlers - Item 1 - approved as presented. Item 2 - approved as
presented. Item 3 - to be deleted. After discussion with Supervisor Burton he
amended Item 3 to read $150 per year.

.
Itinerant Merchants - Item 1 - approved as presented. Item 2 - $400 to
be increased to $500.
Supervisor Burton offered an amendment to the motion stating that
under Peddlers Item 1 should be left as is and add $50 per month to a maximum
of $150 per year as an option instead of a flat $150 and keep the $75 per vehicle
charge.
Supervisor Myers offered a substitute motion to adopt the resolution
with the changes just mention except the fee should be $400 per month instead
of $500.
Supervisor Burton offered another addition to the substitute and the
original motions that the business license must be prominently displayed
Chairman Johnson called for a vote on the substitute motion, and it
was defeated by the following roll call vote:

Linda Sue Hunley was present. Attorney John Patterson represented
Mr. Hunley's neighbors (Mr. & Mrs. D. J. Andes and Mr. Charles Sink). The
neighbors do not oppose the permit because it is a mobile home, but because the
area will be cluttered. They requested the mobile home be placed on another
location on the 1.2 acres. During discussion it was discovered that the mobile
home and Mr. Hunley's house will both use the same septic tank. Chairman Johnson
questioned whether this was a violation of the County Ordinance. Superintendent
of the Department of Development, Timothy W. Gubala, said this was governed by
the Health Department, and that they have new standards. Since this was approved
by the Board of Zoning Appeals, and there was no opposition, Supervisor Nickens
moved to hold this over until the October 11 Board Meeting to see if the trailer
can be located in another area, and that the Hunleys clarify with the Health
Department whether two residences can use the same septic system. The motion
carried by a unanimous voice vote.
REQUEST OF LINWOOD CALDWELL FOR A SPECIAL
EXCEPTION TO PLACE A MOBILE HOME ON A 45-

MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT
APPROVED
Mr. Flowers was present. Adjacent property owner, Mr. Robert
Campbell, questioned how many mobile homes will be on that property. Ms. Rita
Heniger answered that they were not aware that a permit was needed to move a
mobile home, and that since their trailer lot was rented in.Jhe mobile home court
they lived in, they had to move their trailer. They are not living in this mobile
home, they are living in the house below it. It is the only trailer that will be on
the hill. If the mobile home permit is granted, she will be moving into the trailer.

Other property owners, Mr. Terry L. Williams and Ms. Edith Meador, objected to
too many mobile homes in the area and drainage problems, respectively. Supervisor
Myers moved that the two-year permit be granted, and the motion carried by a
unanimous voice vote. Supervisor Johnson indicated that if there were any drainage
problems in this period, that the Health and Development Departments will see
that corrections are made.
Supervisor Nickens reiterated Mrs. Burton's suggestion for staff to
address the problem of too many mobile homes in one area.

PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF ONE DUPLEX UNIT.
LOCATED IN THE HOLLINS MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT.
HELD OVER
Mr. Michael Ahearn, representing James Construction Company,
offered a change of conditions and plans for the duplex. Since these changes
were not submitted prior to the public hearing, Supervisor Nickens moved to carry
this over until the October 11, 1983, Meeting. The motion carried by a unanimous
voice vote. Mr. Charlie Wilkerson, 6712 Greenway Drive, presented a petition
and spoke in opposition to this rezoning request.
PETITION OF HUGHSTON W. DOOLEY REQUESTING
REZONING FROM RESIDENTIAL R-E TO INDUSTRIAL
M-2 OF A TRACT CONTAINING 1 ACRE AND LOCATED
OFF VIRGINIA ROUTE 740 IN THE CATAWBA
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT. REQUESTED IN ORDER TO
CONSTRUCT AN EQUIPMENT STORAGE AREA.
HELD OVER
Mr. Bruce Mayer, representing Mr. & Mrs. Dooley, indicated that the
Dooley's are complying with the County Code. He stated that two additional
proffered conditions were presented to the Clerk, the individual Board Members,
and the County Attorney prior to the public hearing - making a total of three
proffered conditions. Since the Planning Commission has turned this request down,
Mr. Dooley has cleaned up the property and wants to store equipment as far away
as possible from the public highway. In reviewing the site plan, it was determined
that the area in question is different from what Supervisor Myers, Chairman
Johnson, and the surrounding neighbors thought. Citizens speaking in opposition
to the dust, noise, erosion, and safety hazards were Mrs. Darlene Hess, Route 5,
Box 152, Salem, VA; Mrs. Ruby Dowdy, Route 5, Box 129, Salem, VA; Mrs. Marian
Bailey, Route 5, Box 143, Salem, V A; and Mr. R. R. Dowdy, who owns Lots 14 and
15 of the Mason Valley Estates. A petition containing 95 names was presented.
Supervisor Nickens referred to the Planning Commission Minutes, and
his notes from the last Board Meeting, and wanted to know what action the County
11., ()
9-13-83
has taken in what appears to be a long-standing illegal operation of a construction
storage area. Chairman Johnson explained that approximately two years ago the
Zoning Administrator, Mr. Claude Lee, investigated Mr. Dooley's operations, and
reported that there was nothing illegal. Mr. Timothy Gubala explained that Mr.
Lee investigated the recent complaint about Mr. Dooley having the backhoe parked
overnight; and interpreted that since Mr. Dooley was using the equipment on his
own property doing his own digging, there was no violation of the County Zoning
Ordinance. There was a soil and erosion problem, and Mr. Dooley has been
informed that he has until September 19, 1983, to have an adequate reply.
Supervisor Myers moved to hold this matter over until the first regular
meeting in October so that he can look at the proper site, and Supervisor Nickens
included that the most recent communication to Mr. Dooley be verified for exact
wording to determine if Mr. Dooley is in violation of the County Code.
Supervisor Minter made a substitute motion to deny the rezoning
request due to the hazards presented to the people. The motion was defeated by
the following roll call vote:
AYES:
Supervisors Minter, Johnson
NAYS:
Supervisors Nickens, Myers, Burton
Supervisor Myers' motion to delay this matter until October 11, 1983

carried by a unanimous voice vote.

Mr. Gilbert Butler, Counsel for the Secretary of Housing and Urban
