JONES FOR REZONING FROM R-3 TO B-2 OF 1.325 ACRES LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF ROUTE 419, 250 FEET SOUTHWEST OF ITS INTERSECTIO~ WITH GLEN HEATHER DRIVE IN THE WINDSOR HILLS DISTRICT SO THAT A FLORIST SHOP MAY BE OPERATED THEREON Chairman Johnson opened the floor for public comments and recognized G. Marshall Mundy, Attorney, who appeared on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. Mundy stated that he was not aware of any opposition, since there was none at the Planning Commission hearing. Mr. Mundy then advised that the petitioners had agreed to proffer the following conditions to which the requested rezoning would be subject: 1. That the property will not be used for any of the purposes stated in Roanoke 'County Code, Article IX, Section 21-67 (6) and (8). Thus, the property will not be used for the operation of public billiard parlors and pool rooms, bowling alleys, dance halls, golf driving ranges, and animal hospitals or clinics. At the request of Supervisor Terry, County Planner Gubala advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request subject to the proffered condition listed above. Mr. Gubala further advised that his overall comment was favorable due to the fact that there is an adjacent business use. The land as it is could not support intensive residential uses as called for under the current R-3 classification. Chairman Johnson then asked if anyone was present in opposition and recognized Mr. William Brenton, President and representative of the Sugar Loaf Civic League, who advised that the Civic League is opposed to the rezoning request as present- ed. Mr. Brenton further advised that the B-2 zoning reclassifica tion request by the peitioners is too broad in scope-- covering a multitude of businesses. He noted that if the Board granted 8-28-79 252 ',.. ,". ' the B-2 zoning, it would be possible that a new car dealership and used car lot could be operated on the property. Mr. Brenton then asked the Supervisors to consider the following reasons for denying the request as presented: 1. Traffic congestion on Route 419. 2. Safety-Mr. Brenton mentioned the child care center next to the property and expressed concern for the safety of the children. 3. Drainage. Supervisor Myers asked Mr. Brenton if he would object to the rezoning if the petitioners proffered a condition to allow only a florist shop on the site. Mr. Brenton indicated that his constituents would not object if this condition was imposed. Mr. Charles Crow, 2234 Bridle Lane (Glen Heather Addition), also appeared in opposition to the request as presented. Mr. Crow advised that he lives directly across 419 from the property in question. He then stated that if the B-2 rezoning was granted the people could end up with businesses not in character with the surrounding area. Mr. Crow advised that he would not object to B-1 zoning but B-2 for this area would be too liberal. Mrs Johnson then asked the same question of Mr. Crow, if he would object if the petitioners proffered a condition to allow only a florist shop on the site. Mr. Crown said he did not object to a florist shop. Supervisor Terry asked Mr. Mundy why he refused at the Planning Commission hearing to agree to this condition. Mr. Mundy responded that such a condition would be too restrictive for his clients and then mentioned the Planning Commission's favorable recommendation and the condition his clients did agree to proffer. Mrs. Jones was also present at the hearing and stated that she plans to remodel the front of the existing house on the property and that the house would remain in character with the surrounding property. Mrs. Jones expressed concern over the restrictive condition that only a florist shop be allowed, which would hinder her in the future if she should desire to sell the land. Supervisor Myers advised Mrs. Jones that if, at a future date, she wanted to sell the property she could petitioI for rezoning to any classification. Supervisor Terry moved that the Board deny the rezoning since the present R-3 zoning classification is an appropriate use and the fact that the petitioners would not agree to proffer a condition to allow only a florist shop on the site. At this point, Mr. Mundy said he had not been aware of any opposition prior to the hearing and asked the Supervisors to continue the public hearing so his clients could consider amending the petition. I I I I I I 8-28-79 25fj Supervisor Terry then withdrew his motion to deny and moved that the public hearing on the Jones petition be continued to the October 9th meeting of the Board, which motion was adopted unanimously.

Supervisor Compton, also a member of the Authority Board, said he will personally recommend to move forward with the study because he feels it is important to the overall growth of the PSA. Supervisor Myers stated that the felt the study should not be made until dissolution of the Public Service Authority which is scheduled for sometime this December and if the study is needed after such dissolution, then it should be considered. Supervisor Park said the Authority Board wanted to meet with the Supervisors to give them information that the Supervisors, at the present time, do not have. Mr. Myers said he still thought it a premature study at the present time, which will cost the County approximately $33,000. In response to a question raised by Chairman Johnson, the County's Utility Director indicated his concurrence with the study, stating that the proposed study is basically concerned with the physical system not the organizational aspect. In an attempt to clarify the purpose of the Authority Board's recommendation that a joint committee be formed, County Attorney Buchholtz advised that the committee would make a determination of whether or not a study is actual- ly needed--not to approve the study, just to look into it. This concluded the discussion at this time, and the matter I I was taken under advisement.
