HOUSE IN THE CITY OF SALfu~, AND RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A NEW COURTHOUSE AT A LOCATION OUTSIDE OF THE CORPORATE

$3.5 MILLION.
I
James Buchholtz, County Attorney, stated that on May 5, 1980, the
citizens of the County defeated the referendum for sale of $3.5 million
General Obligation Bonds for the purpose of remodeling the existing court-
house facilities. He informed the Board and citizens that the statue provides
for judges to order construction or remodeling to be done if facilities
are not adequate. By direction of the Board, a public hearing was set on
question of remodeling or reconstructing courthouse and/or on question of
removal to location outside the corporate limits of the City of Salem. Pur-
suant to the notice given, the Board has several options, i.e., it may take
no action and not place the matter or either of them on the ballot for
November 4th or it may determine to place either or both questions on the
I
ballot. Should it determine to place the question of removal of the court-
house on the ballot, then it would be necessary to advertise with some
specificity, the location to be utilized.
Supervisor Park stated his desire to have a specific location
named on the ballot for the construction of a new courthouse facility, namely,
the North 11 property which the County now owns.
Supervisor Matthews moved to place the $3.5 million bond issuance
question on the ballot but delete the question of a site outside the City
limits of Salem unless a specific place is named.
Supervisor Park made a substitute motion to put question on the
ballot to use the $3.5 million to build on the North 11 property and the
question to use $3.5 million to renovate the existing courthouse.
I
Supervisor Matthews then moved to approve the prepared resolution
and add question of permission to move the courthouse in City of Salem to
the North 11 property at Peters Creek Road and question that $3.5 million be
used for the new construction.

IN RE:
REQUEST REGARDING THAT CERTAIN ROADS IN ROANOKE COUNTY
BE CLOSED TO THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC.
1. Route 601 from the Roanoke-Botetourt County line
southeastward to Route 627, thence, southwestward
to its intersection with State Primary Route 115.
The alternate route suggested is Route 11 from the
Roanoke-Botetourt County line to Plantation Road
(Route 115) thence down Plantation Road to the
limits of the City of Roanoke; Hollins District.
2. Route 627 with its intersection with Route 601 and
in a southeasterly direction to its intersection with
Route 605. Alternate route is the same as above;
Hollins Magisterial District.
3. Route 605 from its intersection with Route 627
southeasterly, thence, southwesterly to the corporate
limits of the City of Roanoke. Alternate route is
the same as above; Hollins Magisterial District.
Gene Robertson, County Engineer, stated that a traffic count was performec
to determine the number of truck traffic on the above named routes and found
an excessive amount of such traffic. He recommends that the alternate route
be used for heavy traffic.
Supervisor Park voiced the opinion that a school is in the vicinity
proposed for truck traffic and that a dangerous curve nearby would create
a problem for children and felt the Board should also request that speed
limit for that area be 25 miles per hour. He further stated Plantation Road
is primarily a residential area and that truck traffic should not be diverted
to that road especially with the school nearby.
James Buchholtz, County Attorney, stated that the highway department
is authorized to restrict traffic on secondary roads and not on primary
highways. He further stated that, in his opinion, it would not be improper
to suggest that in some areas the speed limit should be looked into and
possibly adjusted.
Supervisor Park again stated that since trucks "fly" down that road,
the speed limit should be reduced and he moved that the Board request the
speed limit be reduced to 25 miles per hour.

I
not be increased much more. He moved to approve the prepared resolution.
Several residents of the area were present and stated that Route 601
is narrow and they agreed that something should be done. A citizen stated
that when it rains they were afraid to go out on the road because of the
heavy truck traffic.
Mrs. R. W. Floyd spoke in favor of lowering the speed limit on
that road.
Supervisor. Park moved to recommend asking for a 25 mile per hour
speed limit in the school zone in addition to restricting Route 601.

PENALTIES AND CHARGES FOR TREASURER'S OFFICE
Fred Anderson, Treasurer, stated that currently the 8% interest
penalty is not sufficient for overdue tax payments and suggests the Roanoke Cou -

to invest their money to receive interest at that rate rather than pay real
estate taxes.
He further suggested that the present $5.00 charge be increased
for return checks due to insufficient funds. After some discussion with the
Board, it was decided to leave this charge at the $5.00 rate.
Supervisor Myers moved to take this matter under advisement.
