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 RETAIL *
SALE OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (NO REPAIR WORK WOULD BE *
DONE) ,',
DENIED
In relation to the above request for rezoning, Mr. Charles H. Osterhoudt,
Attorney, appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Chairman Myers opened the floor
for public comments. Mr. Osterhoudt advised that the Board held a public hearing
on the same petition at its meeting held September 27, 1977, and voted to refer
the matter back to the Planning Commission for their reconsideration and review of
a revised site plat submitted by the petitioner's attorney. Mr. Osterhoudt noted
that the Planning Commission originally recommended denial of the rezoning, but
1-
11-9-77
19 fi
after further consideration and the revised site plan and another publ ic hearing
conducted by the Commission on October 18, the Planning Commission now recommends
approval of the request. Mr. Osterhoudt stated that three pump islands are propose(
and the hours of operation would be approximately from 6:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. and
reiterated that the proposal was for a self-service retail gasoline outlet with no
repair services. The Chairman asked several questions of Nr. Osterhoudt and then
invited the spokesman for the opposition to make his comments. Mr. James W. Hiser,
Executive Secretary, Virginia Gasol ine Retailers Association introduced himself
advising that he had been requested by area members of the Association to state the
crucial need for establishment of guidel ines. Mr. Hiser stated that in his opinion
the rezoning is not in the best interest of Raonoke County or its citizens since this
is a closely defined and already over-saturated area in regard to available gasol inE
filling station facil ities. Mr. Hiser advised that there are five existing station
within one block of the property in question, and if granted, could force one or
more of the nearby stations out of business. Mr. Hiser suggested the Board should
consider the safety factors involved in locating a service station next to doctors'
offices and in close proximity to residences, citing the always-present danger of
explosion. In response to Supervisor Johnson's inquiry, the County Planner advised
that the Planning Commission did consider the size of the lot to be adequate.
Severa 1 c it i zens spoke on the proposed rezon i ng, all in oppos it i on.
Supervisor Johnson stated that she had called her representative on the
Planning Commission and was advised that there was no citizen opposition at the
Commission meeting. Mrs. Johnson advised that she had driven up and down Brambletor
Avenue, which has become "gasoline alley."
There being no further comments, the publ ic hearing was closed and Superviscr
Johnson moved that the reques t of A. T. Will i ams 0 i 1 Company, I nc. be den i ed. In
response to Mr. Tompkins' inquiry, Mrs. Johnson stated that she moved denial of the
proposed rezoning since the road is very narrow, and the citizens who 1 ive in the
area must travel the road everyday.
The motion was adopted by the following recorded vote:

DENIED
In relation to the above rezoning request, Mr. Charles H. Osterhoudt, Attorrey,
appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Chairman Myers opened the floor for publ ic
comments. Mr. Osterhoudt presented a site plan and briefly explained the proposal.
He stated that he was aware of opposition to the rezoning and agreed that this pro-
posed use is a business use in a non-business area and admitted that it will attrac
some traffic. Mr. Osterhoudt noted that this type of commercial development is of
high qual ity citing the additional tax revenue such an office would bring to the
County. Mr. Charles Cornielson, Attorney representing area property owners, appearEd
in opposition to the proposal and submitted a petition signed by 84 County resident
Mr. Cornielson termed the request spot zoning metioning traffic problems in the are,
due to a bl ind curve on Route 419 and the increased traffic on residential streets.
