IN RE:
SPECIAL CLEANUP PROGRAM
The County Executive briefly outlined a program of
special refuse collection during October of large items not
normally picked up by the County's sanitation crews. The
Supervisors did not feel that sufficient time had been allowed
for publicizing this program which is to commence next week.
Upon Chairman Johnson suggesting that the program be postponed
to November, Public Works Superintendent Roy Nester responded
that in November the crews would be kept busy picking up leaves.
After some further discussion as to possible methods which
could be used to let County citizens know about this cleanup
program, Supervisor Terry moved that the special cleanup program
for October proceed as scheduled and that every effort be made
to publicize it to the public. Mr. Terry's motion was adopted
by a unanimous voice vote.

FINAL
ORDER
Mr. Michael K. Smeltzer, attorney for the petitioners, was
present along with Mr. Maury Strauss, one of the petitioners.
Mr. Smeltzer advised that the owners of the property being
considered for rezoning had entered into contract with the
7-Eleven Stores subject to successful rezoning of the property.
He reminded the Supervisors that this matter had been before
them this summer after getting the unanimous approval of the
Planning Commission; it had been denied by the Board because of
traffic conditions on Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) and because
of the exterior trash problem. Mr. Smeltzer stated that since
that denial the petitioners had been working with area residents
in an attempt to overcome their objections. He further stated
that the petitioners agreed to build, at their own expense, an
additional lane for traffic on Route 628 and that this was one
of two conditions being proffered. The second condition proffere
was that the petitioners would build, and require the 7-Eleven
Store to maintain, an approved screen around the outside storage
and refuse areas on the site. Chairman Johnson asked if there
was anyone present in opposition to this rezoning; no one spoke.
Supervisor Myers stated he had been meeting with the area
citizens, who advised him they are pleased with the proffered
conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED and ORDERED that at this
meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia,
held on the 25th day of September, 1979, the said County Zoning

VINTON DISTRICT
Mr. Michael E. Baker was present as spokesman for this
request. Chairman Johnson asked if anyone was present in
opposition; four persons stood. Mr. Baker advised he had
purchased the"property in question from his mother and wished
to improve it by filling one big hollow behind the residence.
He stated the City of Roanoke had been dumping concrete and
dirt on the site and that the other material being dumped on
his property was coming from persons unknown to him. Chairman
Johnson asked Mr. Baker what he wished to use to fill. He
responded that he wished to use only concrete and dirt and had
put up "No Dumping" signs.
Chairman Johnson then called upon the spokesman for the
opposition. Mr. Cecil Bollinger introduced himself and said he
would be speaking for himself and others who had not come to
the hearing. He said the dumping on this property had been going
on for years (since Hurricane Agnes) and area residents thought
the property owner must already have a permit. Mr. Bollinger
said opponents objected to continued dumping because of possible
water pollution and potential danger from chemicals being
dumped there by Mohawk Rubber Company. Mrs. Johnson asked Mr.
Baker if Mohawk had his permission to dump barrels on his
property; he said they did not. Mr. Bollinger said the matter had
previously been reported to the Health Department; he did not
know if they had investigated.
County Planner Timothy W. Gubala advised his office had
received a complaint about the dumping on August 16. Upon
investigation, they found old appliances, tires, auto parts, and
drums from Mohawk Rubber containing waste oil. When telephoned,
a spokesman for Mohawk said the company was unaware the dumping
was taking place and that it would be stopped. Mr. Gubala further
stated Mr. Baker applied for a permit only after receiving a
second letter from the Planning and Zoning office. Mrs. John
Baker stood and introduced herself as Michael Baker's mother
and advised he had not immediately responded to the County's
letters because they had been mailed to her.
Mr. Don Leffel introduced himself, stated that he lived
about 0.6 mile from Mr. Baker, and said his concerns were the
same as Mr. Bollinger's. He also said he had contacted the heirs
of the Palmer estate, who own land in the area, and that they are
opposed to any landfill operation. They believe such might spill
over onto their property. Also, they were afraid their springs
and fish ponds would be contaminated from the fill material. Mr.
Leffel then showed the Supervisors a sketch of the Baker property
indicating the location of the residence and the hollow being

over onto their property. Also, they were afraid their springs
and fish ponds would be contaminated from the fill material. Mr.
Leffel then showed the Supervisors a sketch of the Baker property
indicating the location of the residence and the hollow being
filled.
Chairman Johnson asked County Engineer Gene Robertson if
Mohawk Rubber Company would be asked to remove the 75 barrels
already dumped; he said they could be. Mr. Bollinger said that
four or five times that number of barrels had already been dumped
and covered over. Chairman Johnson and Supervisor Park had a
short discussion and decided no permit should be issued until
further investigation can be made. Mr. Park moved that Mr. Baker'
request be deferred at least 30 days for further study and
directed that Mohawk Rubber Company and the Health Department be
contacted. Mr. Baker presented a petition, filed with the minutes
of this meeting, containing 38 names of persons living in the
area who did not oppose his filling the hollow on his property
with concrete and dirt. Mr. Park's motion was adopted by a
unanimous voice vote.

Mrs. L. G. Testerman was present as spokesman for this
request. When Chairman Johnson asked if anyone in opposition to
the request was present, no one stood. Mrs. Testerman stated that
for fill material she was using stumps, rock, and dirt. Superviso
Myers asked her how much longer it would take to complete the
fill on her property. Mrs. Testerman estimated she needed about
one year and advised the Supervisors she has had the fill materia
smoothed over, which has improved the appearance of her property.
Supervisor Myers moved that since Mrs. Testerman is keeping
the fill site smoothed over and is using approved fill material,
she be granted a conditional use permit as requested for one
year. Adopted by the folliwng, recorded vote:

organization had just become aware of this request and asked that
the matter be rescheduled for the next Board meeting. Supervisor
Terry asked Mr. Hamlett if that would be agreeable; he responded
that he would prefer that action be taken on his request at this
meeting, that he had material he wanted to start disposing of on
this site. However, Mr. Hamlett later agreed to the postponement
since he also has business before the Supervisors at their next
meeting (on October 9).
Supervisor Terry moved that Mr. Hamlett's request for a
conditional use permit to operate a landfill be delayed until
October 9. His motion was adopted by a unanimous voice vote.
IN RE: PETITION OF SALCO, LIMITED FOR REZONING FROM *

ROUTE 419 ADJACENT TO THE OAK GROVE ELEMENTARY*DENIED
SCHOOL IN WINDSOR HILLS DISTRICT TO PERMIT *
CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICE BUILDING TO ACCOM- *
MODATE PROFESSIONAL OFFICES *
Mr. C. Richard Cranwell, attorney for the opponents of the
SALCO, Limited rezoning, having arrived, the public hearing on
this matter, which had been temporarily postponed earlier in
this meeting, commenced.
Mr. Edward A. Natt, attorney, represented the petitioner.
When Chairman Johnson asked if anyone opposed to this rezoning
was present, around 25 persons stood and she was advised others
were in the hall outside. Mrs. Johnson advised those present she
had received phone calls from Mr. William D. Ergle and Mrs. Jean
A. Glontz, Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively of the County
School Board, stating that the School Board supported denial of
the proposed rezoning. Mrs. Johnson then asked if anyone was
present in support of this petition; about 10 persons raised
their hands.
Mr. Natt reminded the Supervisors that this was the fourth
time he had been before them with this request and stated that
what is desired is an office building for professionals. He
showed the Supervisors a map of the general area and pointed out
there is already B-1 zoning nearby, plus B-2 and R-3 zoning.
Across Route 419 from the site, in the City of Roanoke, is the
Southwest Plaza Shopping Center and other commerical development.
He stated that less than a block away an office building is
under construction. For these reasons, he felt this request could
not be categorized as "spot zoning." Mr. Natt said that when the
Supervisors denied rezoning last year for medical offices on
this site, the matter was appealed to Circuit Court. After
hearing the appeal, the Court's opinion was that the building
could be used for medical offices. Mr. Natt then advised that
his law firm now desires to locate their offices on the site.

He said that tonight's request is for exactly the same exterior
building plan and site plan as were submitted last time--only
the proposed use had been changed from medical to licensed
professionals' office. He also stated that during the last
hearing before the Supervisors, two of the objections raised
concerned the increased traffic that would be generated by
medical offices and the possible problem of drugs that would be
kept in medical offices. He cited statistics showing a
professional office building would generate less traffic than
medical offices and pointed out that the drug problem would no
long exist. He also indicated that the County's planning staff
had recommended approval of his previous request for rezoning,
that it was the Planning Commission which had recommended denial.
Mr. Natt advised the building would be set back 30 feet further
from Route 419 than the site plan indicated to allow for possiblE
future widening of Route 419. Mr. Natt also made the following
points: (1) the petitioner agreed to construct a fence between
their parking lot and the Oak Grove school playground, (2) there
would be only one exit/entrance onto Route 419, and (3) again
promised the building would be built exactly as shown on
previously submitted site plan. He then introduced Mr. Larry
Scott, member of the Cave Spring Jaycees and chairman of their
committee to sell the property. Mr. Natt asked Mr. Scott why the
Jaycees didn't use the property. Mr. Scott's response was that
the tract wasn't large enough; he also said the Jaycee committee
had discussed with the County School Board a possible trade of
properties, but the School Board had expressed no interest. Mr.
Natt then pointed out that the Oak Grove Plaza parking lot and
the parking lot for the proposed SALCO building are equidistant
in relation to the school playground. He also felt the Superviso s
~hould take into consideration the fact that 80 per cent of the
building would be owner occupied. He presented for the Super-
visors' inspection two copies of the opinion of the County
Circuit Court, which read in part as follows:
II the highest and best use of the property is that for
which the petitioner plans to use it ." Mr. Natt told the
Supervisors the the Court was aware of the location of the
school when that opinion was rendered. These remarks completed
Mr. Natt's presentation in support of the rezoning; he asked
the Supervisors for time to rebut Mr. Cranwell's remarks in
opposition.
Mr. Cranwell commenced his statement by commenting that
when the Supervisors denied SALCO's request for rezoning to
allow medical offices on this site, SALCO appealed the decision
to Circuit Court. After getting the Court's opinion that medical
office should be allowed, the petitioners changed their minds

and are back before the Supervisors requesting rezoning so the
property can be used for yet another purpose. Mr. Cranwell
suggested that if this petition for rezoning were approved, the
petitioners might shortly be before them again with yet another
use in mind for the property. He cited several buildings along
Route 419 where office space is already available and said there
is no need for additional office space on Route 419 at this time.
He also said the traffic count on 419 already exceeds it design
capacity at times and that this office building would merely
add to the problem. He reminded the Supervisors of the long-
standing drainage problem on Route 419 and said the only solution
anyone has come up with is to dig a drainage ditch down the middl
of 419. He said the paving of any area inceases the amount of
runoff water and suggested that for this reason the proposed
office building would also increase the drainage problem. He
mentioned that the County's long-range plan shows community
facilities in this area, probably because at the time the plan
was prepared, the property was owned by the Jaycees.
When Mr. Cranwell finished, Chairman Johnson asked if
anyone present had questions or comments and asked those who
planned to speak to limit themselves to 3 minutes.
Mr. George Thompson, principal of the Oak Grove School,
advised he has a playground that is 30 feet, at the closest
point, from the parking lot of this proposed building and that
the fence to be erected would be at the bottom of a slope. He
mentioned that the Oak Grove P. T. A. had gone on record as
approving a uniform zoning approach on all zoning in this area.
He said the property is presently open space and is needed in
the County's park system; he urgently requested that the
Supervisors consider the land for that use. Mrs. Charlsie
Pafford, President of the Oak Grove P. T. A., stated that her
organization, which has a new slate of officers, recently
reaffirmed their original opposition to any rezoning of any
property adjacent to the school without taking a uniform
approach to zoning in the area.
Mr. Albe.rt' Trompeter was next to speak. He introduced
himself as Chairman of the Roanoke County Industrial Development
Authority and expressed the opinion that the objections being
put forth are not to the building or its occupants, but a
controversy between the area residents and the Jaycees. He said
the entire neighborhood felt the Jaycees should have donated the
land for community use instead of selling it. He reminded those
present of the parking lot on the school property, v7hich
immediately adjoins the play area and is not fenced off. He said
property owners along Route 419 should not continue to oppose
everything, no matter what, that is proposed for construction

along 419 and pointed out the attractive office buildings that
front along this highway. Mr. Steve Brugh, President of the
Jaycees, responded to Mr. Cranwell's remarks about the drainage
situation. He said the natural flow of drainage from the former
Jaycee property runs across Route 419 and goes toward Southwest
Plaza and comes out behind the Plaza.
In rebutting the opposition, Mr. Natt advised that his
law firm wants to go into the proposed building because the
firm is growing and would be part owners of the building as
opposed to having to lease space elsewhere. He said all Mr.
Cranwell's points had been considered by the Circuit Court beforE
it rendered its opinion that the highest and best use of the
property would be a medical office building. He said the land
was not suitable for a park because it is too small, fronts on
Route 419, and would cost the County over $40,000.
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Terry
moved that the requested rezoning be denied because the Circuit
Court of Roanoke County had determined that a use of the property
different from that requested here tonight is the most appropriat
use of the property and he believed this Board should not attempt
either to set aside or circuvent the final order of the Circuit
Court.
Supervisor Terry's motion was adopted by the following,
recorded vote:
Mr. Compton, Mr. Park, Mr. Terry, and Mrs. Johnson
Mr. Myers
The County Executive was asked to go over his report on
the special cleanup program again for the benefit of those
persons for the 7 o'clock session. He did so, and when he
finished, Mr. Myers suggested radio and television public servicE
announcements, along with a block ad in the local newspaper to
publicize the program.

space; the response was affirmative. Supervisor Terry then
asked what company is presently providing janitor service.
Superintendent of Public Works Roy Nester responded that the
Virginia Janitorial Service has the present contract; they were
not invited to bid again because of the unsatisfactory service
they have provided. Supervisor Compton commented he felt the
County should clean its own buildings, but after having reviewed

IN RE: STREETS IN BOXWOOD HILLS SUBDIVISION
Supervisor Myers discussed with County Attorney James E.
Buchholtz a petition received from residents of Boxwood Hills
subdivision asking the County's assistance in getting their
roads built to meet the State's standards so the Virginia
Department of Highways and Transportation would take over
maintenance of the roads. Supervisor Myers asked Mr. Buchholtz
if he felt his letter of response to the citizens' request shoull
be considered the County's final word. Mr. Buchholtz advised
that his letter dealt with the County's legal obligation and
that he had seen nothing in the citizens' most recent letter to
change his mind. Mr. Buchholtz stated that Boxwood Hills was not
considered a subdivision, under the County's definition of
"subdivision" at the time it was developed and recorded and that

is when the problem originally arose. He said the situation was
probably a matter for private litigation. He also stated that
it is set out in the deeds to property in the Boxwood Hills
subdivision that the roads are private and the property owners
undertook to maintain their own roads. Mr. Buchholtz said the
County's present "70/30" policy could be changed, but that
Boxwood Hills does not qualify under the present policy.
Supervisor Myers asked Mr. Buchholtz to advise the Boxwood Hills
residents of the County's present stance and that the County
cannot be of assistance.
