IN RE:
PETITION OF A. T. WILLIAMS OIL COMPANY, INC. FOR REZONING FROM B-2 TO
B-3 OF PART OF LOTS 7. 8, AND 9, SECTION 2 OF RICHARD HEIGHTS (3144
BRAMBLETON AVENUE) IN ORDER TO OPERATE A SERVICE STATION FOR THE RETAI
SALE OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (NO REPAIR WORK WOULD BE DONE)
I
Mr. Charles H. Osterhoudt, Attorney, and the petitioner, A. T. Will iam ,
were present at the hearing. This petition for rezoning had been continued from
the September 13 Board meeting on motion by Mrs. Johnson. Chairman asked if any
one was present in opposition and approximately eight persons raised their hands
Mr. Osterhoudt showed the Supervisors a revised site plan and described the loca
tion of the underground tanks had been changed to allow for the proposed widenin
of Brambleton Avenue at some future date. The Chairman asked several questions
of Mr. Williams and Mr. Osterhoudt then invited the spokesman for the opposition
to make his comments. Mr. Gary Denton, General Counsel for the Virginia Gasolin
Dealers Association, introduced himself and suggested the Board should consider
the safety factors involved in locating a service station next to doctor's offic s,
citing the always-present danger of explosion, and also suggested the Board shou d
consider drawing a line on the placing of service stations, reminding them that
as Mr. Osterhoudt had already stated, there were four (4) existing stations in
the immediate area. Mr. Denton said this was an excessive number of stations ar
that another was not necessary. He also stated that any service station should
be located on a corner lot and not in the middle of a block, as this one would
be. Mr. Denton also felt rezoning of said lot to allow another service station
would be improper because there was no growth potential. The Chairman asked Mr.
Denton if the A. T. Williams Oil Company was a member of his Association; Mr.
Denton said it was not, that their chain of stations was controlled directly by
the Company. In the absence of the County Planner, Mrs. Johnson asked the
I
9-27-77

County Engineer if he knew why the Planning Commission had recommended denial
of this rezoning. He replied that he believed the Planning Commission had
felt the shope of the lot was not adequate for the type of operation planned;
I
he also advised that the Planning Commission had not seen a copy of the revise
site plan which Mr. Osterhoudt had just shown the Board. Mrs. Johnson moved
that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission for 'their recon-
sideration, using the site plan now available. On a roll call vote, the
Board then voted as follows on Mrs. Johnson's motion to refer this rezoning
request back to the Planning Commission.
AYES:
Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Myers

Mrs. Johnson then moved that the petition be denied. On a roll call
vote, the Supervisors voted as follows:
AYES:

NAYS:

I
Mr. Osterhoudt asked the Board to reconsider their vote on referring
the matter back to the Planning Commission. Mrs. Johnson stated that she felt
she could not ask for another vote and asked that the previous action (vote
to deny) be reconsidered. On a roll call vote, the Supervisors voted as
follows:
AYES:
Mr. Compton, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Tompkins, Mr. Myers

Supervisor Johnson then moved that the petition be sent back to the
