IN RE:
PETITION OF 419 ASSOCIATES FOR REZONING FROM R-l TO *
B-1 OF TWO PARCELS, CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 13.925 ACRES, *
LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF ROUTE 419 JUST NORTH OF ITS *
SOUTHERLY INTERSECTION WITH KEAGY ROAD (ROUTE 685) IN * DENIED
THE WINDSOR HILLS DISTRICT, SO THAT A SINGLE-OCCUPANT *
TWO-STORY OFFICE BUILDING CONTAINING 130,000 SQUARE FEET *
MAY BE CONSTRUCTED THEREON *
This request was presented to the Supervisors by Attorneys Edward A. Natt
II
and Charles H. Osterhoudt. Approximately 30 persons appeared in opposition to the
request.
Prior to his presentation, Mr. Natt submitted a letter dated November 22,
1978, on behalf of 419 Associates agreeing to the following conditions:
1. A cross-over will be obtained and other road improvements as shown on the
site plan will be made.
2. The building will be the size and height as shown on the site plan.
3. The building will have a single occupant.
4. Drainage approval will be obtained from the state.
5. Highway permits will be obtained from the state.
6. Approval of the erosion and sediment control plan will be obtained from
the County Engineer.
I
7. The final building design will be subject to the Planning Commission's
approval.
Mr. Natt noted the model and site plan and advised that the top height of the
building would be 157 feet. He explained that parking is in compliance with the
County's ordinance providing for fire lanes and handicapped parking. He further
advised that a crossover permit will be granted by the Highway Department if all
criteria is met. The petitioners presently meet 3 out of 4 criteria (they do not
meet site distance requirement). Mr. Natt did state that arrangements would be
made so that the site distance requirement could be met. Mr. Natt stated that
proposals for accomodating drainage meet Highway Department criteria and also
referred to PSA memos indicating adequate sewer and water availability. He also
I
advised that he has met with the County Engineer on erosion and sediment control
and that his clients have agreed in writing that approval of the erosion and
sediment control plan will be obtained from the County Engineer. Mr. Natt advised
that adequate screening will be provided and that the entire property is designed
to restrict visibility. Mr. Natt then raised questions about the feasibility of
developing the property for residential purposes, and then presented a letter
from one financial institution advising that they would not finance residential

fiR!)
development on the property in question. Mr. Natt advised that his clients have
a prospective user whose operation indicates about 1100 trips per day (approximate y
the same as development of a medium density residential area) and according to the
Highway Department, this would not put 419 over its capacity. Mr. Natt advised
that peak hours could be handled with traffic controls provided by the Sheriff's
Department and further advised that the hours of the prospective user can be stag-
gered and do not conflict with controls at Hidden Valley School.
Mr. C. Richard Cranwell, Attorney, appeared on behalf of the opposition.
Mr. Cranwell said that Mr. Natt did not state the type of screening to be provided
and cited traffic and drainage problems. Mr. Cranwell further stated that in his
opinion the District Engineer, Mr. Woods rejected the request for a crossover.
Mr. Cranwell also noted that until the petitioners know who the tenant is for
certain, they can only guess on how much traffic will be generated. Mr. Cranwell
stated that the present zoning classification is a reasonable use of the land,
and the rezoning request is in conflict with the County's long-range land use
map. Mr. Cranwell then stated that the purpose of zoning is to provide for
orderly growth in conjunction with facilities to support the development and
asked the Supervisors to consider this purpose.
Mr. Dick Hellegas, resident of Windsor West Subdivision, architect, and
Chairman of the Suburban Land-Use Committee for the Citizens Environmental
Council, also appeared in opposition to the request. Mr. Hellegas referred to a
memo dated October 12 from the County Engineer to the County Planner expressing
concern over the preliminary plan meeting the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control
Ordinance. Mr. Hellegas then noted the model and site plan expressing concern
over the to slopes and advising that the site plan shows grading to the
property line would remove screening trees and therefore would be an eyesore.
Mr. Hellegas also stated that adjustments in slopes would reduce parking area.
Mr. Hellegas also expressed concern over the proposed use being too intense.
In conclusion, he asked the Supervisors to give consideration to the esthetic
qualities and relief to the eye that a pleasing development brings.
In rebuttal, Attorney Charles H. Osterhoudt stated that the purpose of
zoning is to encourage the most appropriate use of the land, stating that the
present zoning has resulted in non-use of the land. Mr. Osterhoudt further
12-12-78
..,'....(

!.",~
advised that it is in the best interest of all to encourage use and::~,h~s proposed
use would increase the County's tax base. Mr. Osterhoudt reminded those present
that the owners will have to meet any drainage problems and erosion problems
before the property can be developed and noted that the Planning Commission must
approve the final site plan. In conclusion, Mr. Osterhoudt stated that the rezon-
ing would result in use of the land and not misuse or disuse.
In response to a question raised by Supervisor Terry, the County Engineer
advised that he still has concern over 1 to 1 slopes. Chairman Compton advised
the Supervisors that he had received a letter from the District engineer, Virginia
Department of Highways and Transportation, and his evaluation of the letter is
that a crossover would not be a problem.
This concluded the public hearing, and Supervisor Terry moved that the Board
concur with the Planning Commission recommendation and deny the rezoning due to
soil erosion and drainage problems and the fact that this proposed use of the
land is in conflict with the County's Land Use Plan.
The motion was adopted by the following recorded vote:

PETITION OF A. TAB WILLIAMS, JR. FOR REZONING FROM

This request was presented to the Supervisors by Charles H. Osterhoudt,
Attorney, who explained the long history of this request. Approximately six
persons appeared in opposition. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that the property in
question is presently zoned B-2 and is located in an area generally zoned for
commercial use. Mr. Osterhoudt then presented a new site plan showing the 12
foot of depth being conveyed to the Highway Department for the widening of
Brambleton Avenue. He also advised that drainage pipes will be installed and
should improve the existing drainage problem in the area. 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.
Mr. Osterhoudt concluded his presentation by reminding the Supervisors of the
zoning along Brambleton Avenue and the fact that this proposed use of the land
is in character with other uses of property in the general area.
Barry N. Lichtenstein, Attorney, appeared on behalf of the opposition.
Mr. Lichtenstein said that the Supervisors should require the petitioner to
WIll.

irfsta'11"cu1verts, if the rezoning was approved. He also asked the Supervisors to
wait until the road is widened before considering the request. Mr. Lichtenstein
noted the small size of the lot and reiterated the need for the establishment of
guidelines for service stations. He then cited the existing traffic problems alon
Bramb1eton stating that the road is narrow and already overloaded. Mr. Lichtenste n
stated that flooding is unpredictable and asked that no rezonings be allowed until
this problem is corrected and then noted that there are six other gasoline
outlets along Bramb1eton. In summary, Mr. Lichtenstein gave the following
reasons for opposing the request: (1) Rezoning would not be in the best interest
of the citizens, (2) safety problems, (3) aesthetics, and (4) the over-saturation
of Bramb1eton Avenue with gasoline pumps within a two-block area.
Mr. Horace McPherson, resident of 3561 Forester Road, stated that the four
1aning of Bramb1eton will end at the City line near the property in question.
Mr. McPherson further stated that the proposed use of the property would be a
nuisance to the residents. Mr. McPherson said that the property is zoned B-2
and should remain so.
Mr. Dick Hel1egas, architect and Roanoke County resident, asked the Super-
visors for permission to read a statement from John P. Cone, Jr., Citizens
Environmental Council, stating that the rezoning would further aggrevate the
already strip commercial zoning along Bramb1eton Avenue.
In rebuttal, Mr. Osterhoudt advised that after construction, a turning lane
will be installed if needed which should alleviate turning movement problems and
further advised that he would proffer in writing any conditions which he has
previously agreed to.
This concluded the public hearing and Supervisor Johnson moved denial of the
rezoning request on the grounds that it would be contrary to the health, safety,
and welfare of the County and its citizens and an inappropriate use of the land
for the following reasons:
(1) Size of the lot is too small.
(2) It would constitute strip or spot zoning.
(3) Proposed use would add to traffic congestion on Brambleton.
(4) Proposed use would add to existing drainage problems on Bramb1eton.
(5) Safety hazard (danger to life and limb).
The motion was adopted by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Myers, Mr. Park, Mr. Terry, Mr. Compton
