Chairman Compton advised that the public hearing on Mrs. Preece's
application for a mobile home permit had been continued from March 28 due to
certain area opposition and the fact that Mrs. Preece was not present at the
meeting. Mr. Alton B. Prillaman, Attorney, was present on behalf of Mrs. Preec .
Mrs. Preece was also in attendance.
At this point, Chairman Compton asked if there was any opposition
present. Mr. Edward A. Natt, Attorney, was present on behalf of the oppositio .

Zoning Appeals had granted the necessary variance.
Mr. Prillaman further advised
that Mrs. Preece runs the Loch Haven Country Club and submitted photos of the
property and the mobile home, stating that the mobile home is just barely visible
from the highway. Mrs. Johnson asked if Mrs. Preece had permission to place the
I
mobile home on the property and was advised by Mr. Prillaman that no actual permit
was issued, but apparently Mr. Paul Matthews, former County Executive Officer,
permitted Mrs. Preece to place the mobile home on the property in question.
Mr. Edward A. Natt stated that his clients were under the impression that the
trailer is going to be rented, which is in direct conflict with the County's
mobile home ordinance, unless there is a hardship. Mr. Natt further stated that
in his opinion there is no demonstration of a hardship in this particular instance.
In conclusion, Mr. Natt requested the Supervisors to deny the permit on the basis
that no hardship is shown, or if granted, limit occupancy of the mobile home to
Mrs. Preece's daughter.
This concluded the public hearing and Supervisor Myers moved that the
application of Mrs. Preece be granted subject to the provisions of the County's
I
zoning ordinance as it pertains to mobile homes, which motion was adopted by the
following recorded vote:

Chairman Compton opened the floor for public comments on the
above request for rezoning. Mr. Charles H. Osterhoudt, Attorney, appeared
on behalf of the petitioners. Approximately 20 persons were present in
opposition. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that the matter was before the Board
twice in 1977 and is back before the Board again pursuant to an order of the
Circuit Court of Roanoke County. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that A. T. Williams
Oil Company is an independent gasoline retailer operating in the State of
Virginia and North Carolina and they presently have two retail operations
in the valley. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that the property in question is
presently zoned Business B-2 and is located in an area generally zoned
for commercial use. He then submitted a map of the area enumerating the
various zoning classifications along Brambleton Avenue. Mr. Osterhoudt noted
that the request had been before the County Planning Commission on two
separate occasions and received a favorable recommendation. Mr. Osterhoudt
explained that two pump islands are proposed and the hours of operation would
be approximately from 6:00 a. m. to 11:00 p.m. with one or two attendants
on duty and stated that the site plan meets all County requirements. Mr.
Osterhoudt further advised that the plan has been reviewed by the Highway
Department and the petitioner may have to install a drainage culvert under
Brambleton. As to the questions of this type of business being a fire
hazard, Mr. Osterhoudt advised that this type of business is no more hazardous
than many other businesses. Mr. Osterhoudt then filed with the Board a
transcript of a portion of the proceedings and evidence presented to the
Circuit Court in March, 1978.
Mr. Barry Lichenstein, Attorney, representing the opposition, state
that this proposed use is a threat to the safety, welfare and general well
being of the County and its citizens. Mr. Lichenstein stated that the rezonin
is not proper because a pumper station, not a service station is proposed--and
a pumper station is not as safe as a service station. He also noted the
drainage problem where gasoline and water will mix, again stating the safety
problem and citing the narrow road and constant traffic congestion.

The following persons spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
citing the heavily traveled road, the narrowness of the road, drainage problems
fire safety hazards, and the over-commercialization of Brambleton Avenue:
Mr. H. L. McPhearson, 3561 Forrester Road, reiterated the traffic problems
stating that he felt that there should be only so many gasoline stations within
I
a confined area; Mr. Al Thomason, 3073 Timberlane Avenue, asked the Supervisors
to consider the safety of the persons living in the area, noting that there is
no traffic control within one mile either way of the property in question; Mr.
Fred Childress, resident of Brandywine Avenue, also cited the traffic problem
along Brambleton; Mr. Gary Denton, Attorney and General Counsel for the
Virginia Gasoline Retailers Association, cited the traffic congestion and the
improper use of the land in that the size of the lot is too small. Mr. Denton
stated that any service station should be located on a corner lot not in the
middle of a block, as this one would be; Mr. Ron Keith Atkins, 3057 Timberlane,
noted that the lot size is poor and the location is poor; Mr. Posey G. Oyler
reminded the Supervisors that they previously voted to deny the rezoning and
I
asked them to stand on that decision.
In rebuttal, Mr. Osterhoudt advised that the County Planner gave
favorable comment on the B-3 use of the land, that the drainage situation
was fully presented to the Court and that the petitioners will abide by State
Highway Department requirements, and as to the questions of fire and safety--
they also were covered in Court. In conclusion, Mr. Osterhoudt said that this
is a direct confrontation between the Court and the governing body and asked
the Supervisors to see the merit of the petition and grant the rezoning. A
more complete record of public comments is filed with the minutes of this meetir
This concluded the public hearing and Supervisor Johnson moved the
petition of A. T. Williams Oil Company, Inc. be denied on the grounds of the

threat to the safety and general welfare of the people living in the area, the
her opinion, the improper size of the lot.

Chairman Compton opened the floor for public comments. Mr. Torn
Jennings, President, Mount Pleasant Recreation Club, was present and stated
that the purpose of filling the area in question is to provide a ballfield
for children in the area. Mr. Darnell Shell, Director of Parks and Recreation
for the County, advised that the property contains about 10 acres and used to
be a lake, is now a swamp type area, and if filled, would provide for increase
area for recreational activities. Mr. Shell further stated that it would be
an asset to the sports programs in the area.
County Engineer Art Guepe advised the Supervisors in a memo dated
April 14, that he is not opposed to this proposal but does have several
I
reservations and questions -- such as who will be required to submit soil
erosion and siltation plans, who will be required to pay the fee, and who
will implement said plans? Supervisor Park asked Mr. Shell if he would be
responsible for submitting the plan. Mr. Shell said he would be glad work
with Mr. Guepe.
NOTE:
At this point (approximately 9:15 p.m.) Vice-Chairman
Myers returned from the local television broadcast program
for which he previously left the meeting.
Mr. Wayne Wray, a member of the Club, advised that he has engaged
an excavating contractor who is in the process of tearing down the old
Jefferson theater, which is mostly stones and rock. The County Executive
asked Mr. Wray if anyone has access to earth moving equipment, which will
I
undoubtedly be necessary for proper handling and compacting for cover
material for the fill. Mr. Wray advised that the gentleman who is tearing
down the building brings his dozer.
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Park moved that
the request of Mount Pleasant Recreation Club for a conditional use permit
be approved subject to the following guidelines set forth by the County
Engineer and the approval of a soil erosion and sediment control plan:

THE NORTH SIDE OF ROUTE 622 (BRADSHAW ROAD), 6 MILES
WEST OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH ROUTE 311
Chairman Compton opened the floor for public comments and recognized
Supervisor Myers who asked Mr. Doyle if his application was for one mobile
home. Mr. Doyle advised that he plans to attach two mobile homes to one another
to create the effect of a double-wide mobile home. Mr. Doyle was then advised
I
that this would be in violation of the County's Zoning Ordinance pertaining
to mobile homes. Mr. Myers advised that he would be willing to consider the
request if it is for one, not two mobile homes and that this is clearly under-
stood by the applicant. Mr. Doyle agreed to this, and the Supervisors proceeded
with the public hearing on Mr. Doyle's application to park one mobile home on
4-25-78
3.44
the above-described property.
Several area residents spoke in opposition to the request. Mr. Gerald
Austin and Mr. Robert Butterworth stated that a trailer is an "eyesore" to the
area. Mr. Myers advised that according to Mr. Doyle the trailer is temporary
I
until he can build a house on the land and further advised the opposition that
the permit is good for a two-year period only, after which time Mr. Doyle must
again appear before the Supervisors for another public hearing if he wishes to
renew the permit. Mr. Myers stated that the applicant meets all the requirements
of the mobile home ordinance and that he does not feel the Supervisors have the
right to deny a person a place to live.
This concluded the public hearing and Supervisor Myers moved that the
application of Vincent T. Doyle be approved subject to the provisions of the
