In relation to the above request, Chairman Myers advised that the shell
of a second mobile home on the applicant's property had not yet been moved. Mr.

Board, the public hearing on the renewal application of Lewis Wooldridge was con-
tinued to the January 25, 1977 Board meeting.
IN RE:
REDISTRICTING
I
A public hearing was this date held on adoption of a proposed ordinance
establishing and adopting magisterial districts, precincts and voting places for
Roanoke County. Mr. Edward A. Natt, County Attorney, briefly explained the redis-
tricting proposal. Mr. Natt stated that due to annexation by the City of Roanoke,
a redistricting of the County is required by law. He further advised that a com-
mittee had been heretofore appointed by the Board to study realignment of the
1-11-77
4.0J7
I
magisterial districts and precincts. Mr. Natt noted that the committee's recommen-
dations and proposals are within the requirements of law and as few changes as
possible from existing lines were made.
Supervisor Tompkins, Vinton District representative on the Board, com-
mented on the proposed division of the Mount Pleasant community between the Vinton
and Cave Spring Districts. Mr. Tompkins stated that the proposed change would not
effect taxes, schools, or fire rescue services. This proposal is only a paper
change or technicality to meet Federal guidelines he advised.
At this point, Chairman Myers opened the floor to public comments. Mr.
Michael Ferguson, Attorney representing certain citizens in the Mount Pleasant
community, stated that this is a closely knit community and should not be split.
He requested the Board to redraw the lines, allowing the Mount Pleasant commjnity
to remain within a single magisterial district. Mr. Ferguson further suggested
the alternative of shifting the Bonsack precinct into the Hollins District. Super-
visor Compton advised that the Bonsack Ruritan Club has already stated its objectio s
to being moved to the Hollins District.
Mr. Gene Wagner, Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Chief, objected to splitti g
Mount Pleasant into two districts along Route 116. Mr. Wagner stated that this is
not a natural boundary. Mr. Morton Brown stated that the psychological effect of
having to move children to a rival school should be taken into consideration. Mrs.
Gene Wagner, resieent of Mount Pleasant, raised objections to the proposed split.
Mr. Wayne Wray, President of the Mount Pleasant P.T.A., stated that Mount Pleasant
doesn't wish to be moved to the Cave Spring District any more than Bonsack wishes
to be moved to the Hollins District. Mr. Harry Dickens stated that the Mount
Pleasant Elementary School would be inadequate for use as a voting precinct.
Supervisor Tompkins reiterated his previous comments that the proposed
splitting of the Mount Pleasant community would be a technical change on paper, and
will not be detrimental to the community or effect the day-to-day lives of the
residents. Chairman Myers also expressed his sympathy with the feelings of the
community and noted that the redistricting of the County is mandated by Federal
law due to annexation, and not something the Board is doing of its own accord.
There being no further public comments, Supervisor Johnson moved that the
proposals in the Mount Pleasant area be amended by moving the magisterial district
line back to Yellow Mountain Road and other roads as the line presently exists; and
further, that the name of the Boxley Hills precinct be changed to Plantation precin t
I
I

and that the East and West Vinton precincts be changed to the North and South Vinto
precincts as appropriate and that the Clearbrook Elementary School be the voting
place in the Clearbrook precinct.
The motion was adopted by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
Mr. Compton, Mr. Dodson, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Tompkins, Mr. Myers
NAYS:
None
I
Mr. Lawrence Terry, Windsor Hills District resident, raised a question
on splitting the Poages Mill precinct. Mr. Terry was advised that the majority of
the Poages Mill precinct will remain intact.
This concluded the public hearing on redistricting, and Supervisor
Compton moved adoption of the following ordinance, with the above changes incor-
porated therein:
