be considered now, before the Board proceeds with its regular agenda. Supervisor

IN RE:
RESOLUTION NO. 2106 WAIVING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ROANOKE
COUNTY WATER ORDINANCE IN REGARD TO EXTENSION OF AN
EXISTING WATER SYSTEM.
I
WHEREAS, the owners of an existing water system in the County have
approached the Board of County Supervisors of Roanoke County, pursuant to Section
15.1-341, et seq., of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, and the Roanoke
County Water Ordinance, and requested that the water ordinance heretofore
adopted by said Board be waived in certain respects in order to provide that said
8-8-78
443
private water company may service additional properties in Roanoke County; and
WHEREAS, the Board is of opinion that in these particular instances,
because of the hardships created, that certain provisions of the Roanoke
County Water Ordinance should be waived.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Supervisors of
I
Roanoke County that said Board hereby waives the requirements of the Roanoke
County Water Ordinance contained in Section 20.1-5 of the Roanoke County Code,
pursuant to Section 15.1-343 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, and
the Roanoke County Water Ordinance, and hereby approves water line extension
of the Utility Services Corporation to serve 24 connections to allow for the
line extension as indicated on plans filed by the applicant with the Roanoke
County Public Service Authority for Section 12, Hunting Hills Subdivision of
Roanoke County, per the revised request based on the following conditions:
1. That the 24 actual connections to the system be
time-phased to the physical reduction of the existing
77 connections; and
2. That if any water source problems occur, the Hunting
Hills Golf Course fairways ~atering be restricted
immediately to insure water for domestic use.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board shall authorize no further
I
waiver unless and until it has been domonstrated to said Board that the
failure to grant such waiver would create an undue hardship upon the said
owners, that the private utility does have an adequate supply of water, and
that the system is capable of service the proposed number of water connections.
The foregoing resolution was adopted on motion of Supervisor Myers
and adopted by the following recorded vote.

Attorney Frank K. Saunders presented this petition to the Supervisors.

tion to the proposed rezoning.
8-8-78

Supervisor Terry moved that the Board concur with the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and approve the rezoning.
Supervisor Park requested more discussion on the petition before the
Board acted on the rezoning. Mr. Saunders presented a site plan of the proposed
I
facility and noted that the Mountain View grocery is located on the souther
portion of the property in question and explained that the proposal was for a
two-island self service gas station with one attendant and no service facilities.
Mr. Park then raised a question on the size of the lot, stating that there have
been problems in the past oVe~ th~. size of a lot and further emphasized the need
to consider the safety of individuals. County Planner Hooper was then asked
for his comments. Mr. Hooper stated that in his opinion, for this particular
use, the lot size was acceptable and that no variances were required as in the
case of other similar instances. Mr. Park also expressed concern over this
being a one-man operation. The Chairman then called for the vote on Mr. Terry's
motion, and due to the following recorded tie vote, the. request was continued
to the September 12, 1978 Board meeting.

REQUEST OF L. G. TESTERMAN FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION

NORTH SIDE OF U. S. ROUTE 11-460, ONE MILE EAST OF
THE ROANOKE/MONTGOMERY COUNTY LINE IN THE CATAWBA
DISTRICT
*
*

Chairman Compton advised that the public hearing on the request of
L. G. Testerman had been continued so Supervisor Myers, who represents the
Catawba District, could make an on-site inspection of the premises. Chairman

8-8-78
Compton opened the floor for public comments. Mr. Testerman stated that his
daughter would live in the mobile home and also noted that the property is
secluded and the mobile home would not be visible to his neighbors.
At this point, Supervisor Myers advised that since the previous Board
meeting, he has visited the site and talked with the neighbors and adjoining
property o~mers. Mr. Myers further advised that the mobile home sets off of
Route 11-460 and is not visible ,to lothers, alft-hough ,the: neighbor.S>c'still object
to the mobile home. Mrs. Robert C. Phelps, adjoining property owner and spokesm n
for the opposition, stated that a mobile home in the area would reduce the value
of surrounding property. Mr. Testerman then introduced a Mr. Avon Conner, who
plans to build a home adjacent to his property. Mr. Conner stated that his
property borders Mr. Testerman's and further advised that he cannot see the
trailer because of the trees which act as a buffer and does not object to
Mr. Testerman's request. Mrs. Phelps advised that the mobile home has been on
the property approximately three months and although complaints have been made,
nothing has been done. Mr. and Mrs. Testerman advised that they had someone
stay overnight in the trailer to keep someone from breaking in.
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Myers moved that
the request be approved subject to the provisions of the County Zoning Ordinance
as it pertains to mobile homes and the additional condition that the mobile
'( '.''-
l '
home not be moved from its present position on the property.
The motion was adopted by the following recorded vote:

PETITION OF A. T. WILLIAMS OIL COMPANY, INC. FOR REZONING

LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF ROUTES 220 AND 675
(INDIAN GRAVE ROAD) IN THE CAVE SPRING DISTRICT SO A SELF
SERVICE GASOLINE STATION MAY BE CONSTRUCTED THEREON
This petition was presented to the Supervisors by Charles H. Oster-
houdt, Attorney. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that his clients propose to rezone a
portion of the property adjacent to the old Clearbrook School and then presented
a site plan of the proposed facility and noted that a substantial buffer zone
is provided for adjacent property. Mr. Osterhoudt"intrQducted,John.T. Molumphy,

I
Assistant Chief of Cave Spring Volunteer Fire Company and also the owner of
property on Indian Grave Road, who stated that according to nationally published
statistics there are few fires involving gasoline service stations. In his
opinion, the proposed facility does not constitute any unusual fire hazard;
Supervisor Park said that he does not agree with the minimization of gasoline
explosion. Mr. Osterhoudt said that he did not think that this type of
operation is anymore dangerous than a dry cleaning establishment, which also
involves flamable liquids. Mr. Osterhoudt said that he had contacted the
Highway Department and was advised that a deceleration lane could be installed
since this is a safe intersection. Mr. Osterhoudt then referred to the
Planning Commission's unfavorable recommendation advising that the land is
presently zoned B-2 and then cited other businesses in the area zoned B-2.
Mr. Osterhoudt further stated that, in his opinion, this proposed use of the land
would certainly be no more of a hazard than any other use permitted in a B-2
zoning classification. L. Thad James, Principal, Clearbrook Elementary
School, appeared on behalf of the Clearbrook PTA, who opposed the request due
to traffic congestion and the additional noise caused by cars stopping and
pulling in and out of the property. Mr. James also expressed concern over the
safety of the children. Mr. Sam Webb, who resided next to the Fire Station,
stated that aside from the safety of school children he was concerned over 220
becoming another Brambleton Avenue or Williamson Road.
At this point, Chairman Compton asked County Planner Hooper the
reasons for which the Planning Commission recommended denial. Mr. Hooper
advised that the unfavorable recommendation was due to the following reasons.
I
(1) The proposal is in conflict with ,the"County's Land
Use Guide Plan. This being the primary reason for
denial since this request would encourage deviation from
'J'I
rl"['i
I
the Plan.
(2) Concern over configuation of intersection and traffic
entering and exiting the proposed station.
Chairman Compton recognized Mr. Osterhoudt who concluded his
presentation by reminding those present that the property is presently zoned
B-2 and that the petitioner could operate any type of business permitted in that
zoning classification, i. e., a convenience store. Mr. Osterhoudt finally
447
8-8-78
advised that according to Highway Department studies, the majority of traffic
along Route 220 is "sheer" traffic (which is traffic already going by).
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Myers moved that the
request be granted since petitioners proposed to fence the property off from
adjoining land, the facility will be accessible due to a deceleration lane
I
which is proposed, and the tax revenue this type of operation would provide,
to the County.
The request was continued to the September 12, 1978 Board meeting
due to the following recorded tie vote:

This petition was presented to the Supervisors by Attorney Edward A.
I
Natt, who explained that while the petition is for two adjoining parcels, specif c
plans exist only for one parcel. Mr. Natt further explained that an appliance
store and offices are proposed. Site plans were then presented, showing the
buildings to have a cedar shake front with a brick foundation. Mr. Thomas,
petitioner, was also present at the. h~~ri~g ?nd a~ th~request qf Windsor Hills
District Supervisor Lawrence Terry, verbally agreed that if the Supervisors
approve rezoning both parcels, the second tract when developed, would have the
same architectural design as far as construction of any facility as that

OF 1.15 ACRES ON ROUTE 419 ADJACENT TO THE OAK GROVE

MEDICAL AND DENTAL OFFICE BUILDING MAY BE CONSTRUCTED
AND OPERATED THEREON
Chairman Compton opened the floor for public comments on the above
request for rezoning. Mr. Edward A. Natt, Attorney, appeared on behalf of the
petitioners. Supervisor Park stated that he would like to see the public
hearing continued until a full Board is present (Supervisor Johnson was absent
from this meeting). Chairman Compton advised that he felt that enough members
I
were present (4 out of 5) and wished to hold the public hearing this date, as
advertised.
Mr. Natt advised that this is a rehearing by Court Order of a
8-8-78
4~O
petition which was before the Supervisors on April 11, 1978, at which time the
rezoning was denied by a 2 to 1 vote, with 2 members absent. Mr. Natt then
presented a site plan to the Supervisors stating that his clients will abide
by this plan with the exception of relocating the proposed building further
I
back on the site to allow for the possible future widening of Route 419. Mr.
Natt further cited the following conditions that the petitioners have agreed
upon should the request be granted; said conditions being submitted to the
Board prior to the public hearing in a letter dated July 26, 1978:
(1) We agree that any lighting on the property will be so located
so that it will be screened from adjoining properties.
(2) We agree to provide only one exit-entrance from the property
into Route 419.
(3) We agree to screen the property, by plantings or fencing, from
the adjoining school property and other adjoining property.
(4) We agree to comply in full with the site plan prepared by
Joseph Griggs Associates, Inc. designating the location
of the Oak Grove Medical Building, with the exception that,
if possible, the building will be moved to the rear in order
to provide land for the possible widening of Route 419.
Mr. Natt then proceeded to point out certain positive aspects of
I
the rezoning -- describing the site plan, noting that the surrounding area is
zoned B-1 and citing other offices and businesses in the vicinity of the site.
Mr. Natt pointed out the Planning Commission's favorable recommendation, noting
the availability of water and sewer, lack of drainage problems, and the
additional tax revenue to the County. Mr. Natt stated that in his opinion,
this use of the land is not an extension of a zoning classification, but a
completion or addition to that which is already in the area.
At this point, Supervisor Terry asked County Planner Hooper if he would
recommend this proposed use of the land. Mr. Hooper advised that his staff
recommendation to the Planning Commission was unfavorable for this specific
type of zoning because of traffic generated by doctor's offices.
Mr. Gerard Bijwaard appeared in opposition to the request on behalf of
I
the Oak Grove and Farmingdale Civic Leagues and the Sugar Loaf Farms Civic
Association. Mr. Bijwaard referred to the request of certain civic leagues to
place a moratorium on rezoning along 419 and asked the Supervisors to hasten
their research on the request as soon as possible. Mr. Bijwaard said that
further commercialization of Route 419 should be halted and the residential
character be reserved. Mr. Bijwaard stated that if this is done, 419 could
I
451
8-8-78
then serve as a model for other areas.
Mr. C. M. Robertson, resident of the
Farmingdale area, stated that 419 is the only real limited access road in the
area and should, in his opinion, be kept _in tact. until the.. Highway Department
makes its decision. Mr. Robertson also noted that there were three doctors'
offices vacant in the Oak Grove Mall. The Chairman of the Board of the Cave I
Spring Jaycees appeared in favor of the request and advised the Supervisors
that the property had been given to the Jaycees and they had been trying to
sell it and use the money for worthwhile projects. Mrs. Shirley Kotheimer,
President of the Roanoke County Council of PTA's, noted how close the offices
will be to the school property and asked the Supervisors to take into consid-
eration the additional traffic hazard which would occur due to the traffic
generated by doctors' offices. Mr. Daniel Martin, resident of the City of
Salem and member of the Cave Spring Jaycees, appeared in favor of the request.
Mr. Martin advised that he was raised about 1/4 mile from the site and would
rather see this use of the land than some other use.
Mr. Natt concluded his presentation to the Supervisors by citing
the honesty of the petitioners in saying a medical facility was proposed
instead of just offices; reminding the Supervisors of the Planning Commission's
I
4 to 1 favorable recommendation; the fact that the petitioners agree to
comply in full with the site plan as submitted; and noting other commercial
zoning in the civinity of the site.
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Terry moved that
the SALCO rezoning petition be denied.
Due to the following recorded tie vote, the request was continued
to the September 12, 1978 Board meeting.

recommended that the flood plain areas which will, on October 17, 1978, become
official flood plain areas under the National Flood Insurance Program be
designated as flood areas. Mr. Guepe requested this action due to the
possibilities of certain activities which may commence prior to the official

adoption of the flood plain areas by the Federal Insurance Administration. Mr.
Guepe advised that this action would permit Roanoke County to help control
development in areas which are known to be flood prone.
Supervisor Myers asked Mr. Guepe if it was correct that no one in
Roanoke County could get flood insurance unless such action is taken by the
Supervisors. Mr. Guepe responded in the affirmative. Mr. Myers also commented
a
on such/large area that's included. There was no citizen opposition present
at the hearing.

Supervisor Park advised that Mr. Sidney Louis had telephoned him and
asked that the Supervisors continue his communication regarding action taken
on June 27, 1978, when the name of Babe Louis Road was changed to Bonsack Road.
Supervisor Park moved that the Board concur and continue the matter

IN RE:
VACATION OF SPRING GROVE PLAT
Mr. Frank W. Rogers, Sr., Attorney, appeared before the Board regardin
vacation of Spring Grove Subdivision plat situate in the Vinton Magisterial
District in the vicinity of Route 24 and Route 651, east of Vinton. Mr. Rogers
advised that the tract is part of the old Bush farm and only two landowners
are involved and no one else will be affected by the proposed vacation. Mr.
Rogers advised that his client has a contract, which should close on September
29, to sell 124 acres to a developer and in order to avoid the delay that
would result from a referral to the County Planning Commission, asked the
Supervisors to authorize advertisement for public hearing for their September
12, 1978 meeting.
Supervisor Park moved that a public hearing be held on vacation of
Spring Grove Plat on September 12, 1978 provided the petitioners bear all
expense and submit the necessary papers, which motion was adopted unanimously.
