The next item on the work session agenda was the briefing on the petition of the Town of Vinton, for a
variance of specific requirements set forth in the FO-Floodplain Overlay District of the Vinton Zoning
Ordinance. The purpose of this request is to allow for the redevelopment of the historic Gish Mill properties,
located at 350 and 0 Gus Nicks Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia, Tax Map Numbers 060.11-04-22.00-0000 and
060.11-04-23.00-0000. The variance, if granted, will include all necessary redevelopment activities for the
conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that: a. The criteria of Article IV, Division 13, Sec. 4-73
of the zoning ordinance are met; and b. The structure or other development is protected by methods that
minimize flood damage during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety.
Ms. Fullen turned the briefing over to Mr. McClung. Mr. McClung stated that, for this variance request,
the Town is the applicant. He introduced the developer for the project, Mr. David Hill. Then, Mr. McClung
began presenting a PowerPoint presentation about the project to the Board, a copy of which will be made a
part of the permanent record. The PowerPoint included photos of the building inside and out in its existing
state. Mr. McClung said the building is blighted, but is mostly sound. He said that the portion of the
building that is not sound is not a part of the historic structure and will be demolished, and a patio with
seating will replace it. Mr. McClung turned the PowerPoint presentation over to Mr. Hill to present his
portion of it. Mr. Hill gave a brief overview of the project. He stated that they are also applying for a
rezoning to the MUD District in order to have a restaurant, seasonal market, speakeasy, lodging or
apartments. Mr. Hill said that the lodging would likely be leased via the VRBO short-term rental website.
He went over the proposed square footage of each of the different uses. He said there will be outdoor dining
on a large deck off the back of the building. Mr. Hill said the city recently performed a topographical study
of this general area due to the streambank restoration project they are currently undertaking. He stated that
the Gish Mill project will have less impervious area once it is completed. On a photo included in the
PowerPoint, Mr. Hill pointed out the location of where the new large deck will be located. He said the rear
of the building will be fitted with large garage doors to allow the flow of patrons in and out. The former
silos will be turned into lodging units. He showed them a three dimensional rendering of the building
included in the PowerPoint. Mr. Hill pointed out the only addition to the building, which will be a fire
escape. He mentioned that the proposed deck was checked by Draper Aden to ensure its construction would
not raise the floodwaters. He showed what the deck will look like with furnishings, as well as what the
inside of the restaurant will look like. Mr. Benninger asked at what actual elevation is the first floor. Mr.
Hill asked Nathan to pull up the site plan to see if they can find the elevation. Mr. McClung searched
through the slides on the PowerPoint while Mr. Hill looked in his files. Mr. McClung said they could also
look on the elevation certificate. Mr. Hill found that the finished floor is at 915.25 feet for the first floor.
Mr. Hill believes that the elevation of the speakeasy is at about 901 feet. He said it is about 14 feet below
the floor above. Mr. Hill stated that in the small flood last year, it seemed that water never made it into the
future speakeasy area. He said they are trying to figure out how it did not get in or if it did get in how it got
out. He said the floor in there is dirt. Mr. Benninger said he looked on Roanoke City's and the Water
Authority's sites, and they are showing that the 10 year flood elevation there is at 912 feet. Mr. Benninger
said that is good news with the first floor being at 915 feet, which means the smaller 10 year floods that
happen more often should not affect the structure. Mr. Hill said that is good news and that 912 would be
three feet under the first floor elevation. Mr. Hill said Draper Aden's latest numbers show 919.5 feet for

the 100 year flood. He mentioned that with the stream improvement project that Roanoke City is doing,
that is expected to be lowered by a foot or so. Mr. Benninger asked if they are going to take out the
remainder of the dam during that project. Mr. McClung said they are going to put a structure farther down
from the dam to bring the water level up a bit so there is not so much of a drop at the spillway. Mr. Hill
said the portion of the dam next to the mill actually seems to be supporting some of the newer portions of
the mill building. Mr. Benninger inquired as to how the planned flood vents would work and if they would
be the lever type of vents. Mr. Hill said the floodwater would activate the vents, and the company who will
install the vents will arrange them so that the water will flow into one and out the other. He said the company
also recommended special backflow devices on the sinks and toilets. Mr. Hill mentioned that the lodging
areas will be on the upper floors and should be out of the flooding. Mr. Benninger asked what happens if
the vents get clogged with debris. Mr. Hill said they are designed with redundancy so that if one clogs
another can be utilized instead. Ms. McMillan said the number of vents required will be based upon the
square footage of the building, and the Roanoke County Floodplain Engineer will review the plans to make
sure adequate vents will be provided. Mr. McClung said the Roanoke County Floodplain Engineer will
review the plans to ensure they meet all requirements. Mr. McClung explained the specific variances
required for the project per the information listed in the PowerPoint. He stated that the staff s conclusion is
to recommend the granting of the variance due to the reasons listed. He asked if any members had questions
regarding the request. Mr. Benninger asked who would hold the insurance on the property. Mr. McClung
stated that the Town will ultimately transfer the ownership of the property to Mr. Hill's company, Gish Mill
Davii LLC. Mr. Hill said his limited liability company will hold the insurance on the building once they
receive the property from the Town. The restaurant tenant will hold their own insurance for their property.
Mr. McClung stated that the tenant has been selected and will be Mr. Trinkle, who also owns Fork in the
Market and Fork in the Alley in Roanoke City. Mr. Hill mentioned that he found a drawing that shows the
flood vents. He shared his screen with everyone to show them a diagram that showed all the flood vents
that are proposed for the building. Mr. Benninger asked if the diagram said 41 vents proposed. Mr. Hill
confirmed that it does say that, and they actually may end up installing 44 vents. Mr. Hill stated that he and
the flood vent company will be working with Roanoke County's Stormwater Engineer, Butch Workman,
on the floodplain review pertaining to the property. Ms. McMillan said they will also be working with the
Roanoke County Building Commissioner, Morgan Yates. There was no further discussion about the request
at this time.
With there being no further business in the work session, Ms. Fullen adjourned it at 7:07 p.m.
The public hearing was immediately called to order at 7:07 p.m. by Ms. Fullen.
The first item on the agenda was the election of officers. For the Chair position, Mr. Benninger nominated
Ms. Fullen. For the Vice Chairman position, Ms. Fullen nominated Mr. Benninger. Next, Ms. Fullen
recommended Mr. McClung for Secretary, and Ms. Tucei for Recording Secretary. A motion was made by
Ms. Noga to approve each of the four nominations. The motion was seconded by Ms. Fullen. A roll call
vote was taken, and all members voted in favor of the motion.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of minutes from May 30, 2019. There were no corrections
for the minutes. Mr. Benninger made a motion to approve the minutes as submitted, and Mr. Kasey
111'0f+%� SES-SYVII X940

seconded it. A roll call vote was taken, and all members voted in favor of the motion to accept the minutes
as submitted.
Next to be heard by the Board, was the petition of Town of Vinton, for a variance of specific requirements
set forth in the FO-Floodplain Overlay District of the Vinton Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of this request
is to allow for the redevelopment of the historic Gish Mill properties, located at 350 and 0 Gus Nicks
Boulevard, Vinton, Virginia, Tax Map Numbers 060.11-04-22.00-0000 and 060.11-04-23.00-0000. The
variance, if granted, will include all necessary redevelopment activities for the conduct of a functionally
dependent use provided that: a. The criteria of Article IV, Division 13, Sec. 4-73 of the zoning ordinance
are met; and b. The structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damage
during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety.
Ms. Fullen opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. and asked for the report from staff. Mr. McClung
presented an overview of the staff report. A copy of the full staff report will be made a part of the permanent
record of this meeting. Mr. McClung discussed each of the factors to be considered for the variance by the
BZA specific to the floodplain. He mentioned that the major box is checked off by the no rise certificate
that was obtained. He mentioned that the deck addition will be designed to withstand flooding, and the
building will be fitted with flood vents to allow water to flow through the building. The utilities will ran
down from the ceilings, and the sinks and toilets will have special backflow devices to prevent floodwater
from entering the Town's sanitary sewer and water system. He said the owners will have the building fully
insured. Mr. McClung mentioned that this will be the first project in town that has a lodging component.
He stated that this project will help promote tourism and will produce jobs. He said approximately 41 jobs
will result from this project. It will generate a private investment of $1.9 million, with the overall project
being $2.9 million. Next, Mr. McClung went over the justification portion of the staff report. He stated
that staff recommends granting the variance for each of the reasons presented in the staff report. Mr.
McClung said that if the variance is granted, the Town will issue a notice to the developers that there will
be an increased risk to life and property, and there will be an increased premium rate for flood insurance.
Mr. McClung stated that he did receive comments from the Roanoke County Flood Engineer, Butch
Workman, and he asked if Ms. Fullen would like him to present it at this time. Ms. Fullen said it would be
fine to present it at this time since it is from the County. Mr. McClung shared the email from the Mr.
Workman on the screen, and read it aloud. A copy of the email will be made a part of the permanent record
of this meeting. With that, Mr. McClung concluded the staff report presentation. Ms. Fullen asked if Mr.
Hill was going to present any farther information. He was no longer present in the meeting, so Ms.
McMillan stated that there was nothing further from Mr. Hill. She also said there were no comments
received from members of the public.
Ms. Fullen opened the floor for comments and questions from members. Mr. Benninger mentioned that the
proposed backflow devices would help keep the sewer from backing up into the building and would help to
keep the floodwater out. He said it will be up to the engineers to decide how to design it. Mr. McClung said
he is unsure how it will all work, but he looks forward to seeing how it is designed. Ms. Fullen asked for
other questions or comments, Mr. Kasey mentioned that the brick at the back of the building looks like it
is pulling away. Mr. McClung stated that the grant from the DCR that the Town obtained will be used to
shore it up and to preserve the brick fagade. He said the grant funds are for that work specifically. There
MARCH 30,2021

were no further comments or questions. Ms. Fullen thanked staff for their hard work on this. She closed the
public hearing at 7:36 p.m.
Next, the Board took action on the variance request. Mr. Kasey made a motion to approve the variance as
requested. Mr. Benninger seconded the motion to approve the variance. A roll call vote was taken, and all
members voted in favor of the motion to approve the variance. Ms. Fullen said that she is very excited to
see this structure brought back to life.
There was no other business to discuss; therefore, Ms. Noga made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and Mr.
Kasey seconded the motion. Ms. Fullen adjourned the meeting at 7:38 p.m.

ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Background — The petitioner, Mr. Coles, applied for a residential building permit application for
renovation work on the property with the Roanoke County Office of Building Safety on
February 9, 2022. This permit included a project description to "renovate [the] house, to include
new electrical and plumbing, and structural upgrades to [the] front porch and main building where
needed." The description also included a work item to "replace electrical and add plumbing to
workshop/garage." Because this project description (interior work) did not involve setbacks and
other zoning matters, the Vinton Planning and Zoning Department was not prompted to review the
application or provide feedback on the work to be completed.
According to Mr. Coles, when applying for this permit, he had the full intentions of renovating
both the main single-family style structure and the detached garage to allow for future dwelling
units and occupancy. The overall project included renovating both the existing vacant and
dilapidated single-family structure and the conversion of the existing detached garage into a
dwelling unit. According to Mr. Coles, this would allow for two leasable dwelling units on the
property and the removal of the existing blight that characterized the previous conditions of both
structures. Additionally, he has indicated to us that he was not aware of the zoning issues relating
to having two dwelling units on a single parcel and mentioned that he saw evidence of a prior
conversion of the garage into a dwelling unit during the time when purchasing the property. Staff
research has not found prior permits relating to the conversion of the garage into a dwelling unit,
and has only found a withdrawn building permit from 2007 for the construction of a wall and door
to eliminate the existing garage door.
Town staff contacted Mr. Coles on April 26, 2022, after staff was made aware of the work being
completed since the issuance of the permit by the County in February 2022. Mr. Coles was prompt
in scheduling a meeting to learn more about the ways to bring the property into compliance with
the zoning ordinance and has worked amiably with staff throughout the remainder of 2022 on
alternative options that comply with all the Town requirements. One of these alternative options
included the possible resubdivision of the existing lot into two (2) different parcels so that each
dwelling unit could exist on its own respective parcel. To maximize the amount of lot sizes and
widths of potential new lots in a proposed resubdivision process, Mr. Coles even pursued and
successfully purchased adjacent properties to the east of the existing parcel. After this purchase, a
survey completed by a licensed surveyor on November 4, 2022, provided a conclusive
detennination that the current positioning of the structures would disallow for a resubdivision
process to take place in a way that met the current zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance
requirements (even with the additional adjacent lots to the east purchased by the petitioner). Mr.
Page 2 of 5
Coles then attempted to purchase a portion of land from the property owner of the parcel to the
west of his property, but it was to no avail.
With this, the petitioner formally applied for these requested variances after consulting with Town
staff on November 7, 2022.

Site Lavout/Architecture — The site is developed with one (1) single-family dwelling and a

pennitted to be resubdivided through the granting of the requested variances, the converted
detached garage would then be classified as a standalone single-family dwelling existing on its
own lot once the resubdivision plat is reviewed, approved and recorded.
Site Access — The property is accessible from the front via the East Lee Avenue right-of-way. On -
street parking is also available on this same public street. There is an existing gravel parking area
in the front yard of the property. Two (2) off-street parking spaces are required for each single-
family dwelling use.
Utilities — The existing single-family structure on the lot is served by public water and sewer
services. If the lot is permitted to be resubdivided, the Western Virginia Water Authority will
require each structure on its own respective lot to be metered separately for utilities and assess new
system development fees for the newly created lot.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/FUTURE LAND USE
The 2004-2024 Town Comprehensive Plan, as amended, has designated this property and its
adjacent properties under the future land use category of medium -density residential. The proposed
redevelopment of the structures into separate single-family dwellings on individual lots is
consistent with the existing uses of all adjacent properties and is compatible with the overall
development pattern and characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood.

STAFF CONCLUSION
The BZA has the following options:
1. Deny the Petitioner's request for a one thousand, one hundred and fifty-four (1,154) square
feet variance from the six thousand (6,000) square feet lot size requirement, and a six (6)
foot variance from the fifty (50) foot lot width requirement to allow for the resubdivision
of the existing lot. The Petitioner would not be allowed to resubdivide the lot and only one
(1) structure on the existing lot shall be used for a single-family dwelling use. The Board's
decision to deny the request may be appealed within 30 days of the public hearing to
Roanoke County Circuit Court.
2. Approve the Petitioner's request for a one thousand, one hundred and fifty-four (1,154)
square feet variance from the six thousand (6,000) square feet lot size requirement, and a
six (6) foot variance from the fifty (50) foot lot width requirement to allow for the
resubdivision of the existing lot and the use of both structures as single-family dwelling
uses.

To be submitted as part of this application:
• A plat of this property must be attached and made a part of this application, with a location sketch of
the property showing nearest road intersection.
• A plot plan showing boundaries and dimensions of property, width of boundary streets, location and
size of buildings on the site, roadways, sidewalks, off-street parking and loading space, landscaping,
and the like. Architect's sketches showing elevations of proposed buildings and complete plans are also
desirable and if available, should be filed with application.

The Board of Zoning Appeals can grant a variance only if the applicant proves certain legal requirements
have been met. The following questions are intended to help the applicant show that a variance is
appropriate.
Please answer all seven questions as completely as possible. Attach additional pages if necessary.
1. How does the zoning ordinance unreasonable restrict the use of this property?
The zoning does not allow for both dwellings on one lot. There were 2 dwellings existing (one a converted garage) when I bought the property
with evidence and neighbors testimony that they had both been lived in. The ordinance will not allow the use of both dwellings. The ordinance will not allow
The smaller dwelling to be used by the resident of the main building as a living space. the ordinance will not allow me to sub -divide the lot to facilitate the use of both dwellings.
2. Describe briefly the type and use and improvements proposed. State whether new buildings are to be
constructed, existing buildings are to be used, or additions made to existing buildings.
I propose to renovate both dwellings, with the goal of selling or renting the buildings. This means new electrical and plumbing, roofing, replacement
windows, kitchen cabinets, siding etc. Basically make them better then new,efficient comfortable residences within walking
distance of the downtown area. The dwellings were in very poor shape when I purchased them.
3. Why does applicant believe the location of the use in question on the particular property is essential
or desirable for the public convenience or welfare and will not be detrimental to the immediate
neighborhood?
The dwellings were very run down and overgrown. They looked terrible and were used intermittently as a shelter by the homeless in the area according to the neighbors. They were full of trash and other worrisome items,
and smelt like a garbage dump. This all within sight of the newly renovated areas downtown. One dwelling had a front porch on the edge of collapse, and had broken glass doors and windows.
This variance will allow for both buildings to be renovated. Even allowing for the variance, the smaller lot will still be bigger then many in that neighborhood.
4. Describe how the proposed use and improvements are to be designed and arranged to fit into the
development of adjacent property and the neighborhood.
The improvements would aim to make these dwellings 'better then new', whilst maintaining the exterior dimensions. I want to bring the wiring and insulation and all the structure up to code,
to create small but efficient and comfortable dwellings for the residents. The properties will be renovated in keeping with the original design, but using modern materials and will not
adversely affect the neighborhood, - in fact it will enhance the area and bring new life to an area of Vinton that looks long neglected.
2 of 4
5. It is proposed that the property will be put to the following use:
I would rent or sell both dwellings. They are single level living so would be ideal for elderly or infirm.
6. It is proposed that the following buildings will be constructed:
7. It is proposed that the following setbacks and off-street parking provisions will be made:
The setbacks for all structures and the off-street parking requirements will meet the current Vinton Zoning Ordinance requirements.

What is a variance and when should one he approved?
A variance is a deviation from the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Applications for variances are
reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), a body of five citizens appointed by the Circuit Court.
The BZA inay grant a variance if it finds that, because of some physical characteristic of the property or
the buildings or structures on it, the strict application of the zoning ordinance would unreasonably restrict
the use of the property, or that granting a variance would alleviate a hardship.
If the BZA finds that the zoning ordinance unreasonably restricts the use of the property, it must consider
five other factors.
G) The property must have been acquired in good faith and the hardship must not have been
created by the applicant for the variance.
(ii) The granting of the variance must not have a detrimental impact on nearby property.
(iii) The condition or situation of the property must be unique or very unusual (otherwise it
would be better to amend the ordinance than to grant a variance for every property that is
affected by the condition).
(iv) A variance cannot allow a use that is not otherwise permitted on the property. (For
example, in a residential area, a variance may allow a dwelling to be built on a lot that is
too small to meet the zoning requirements, but a variance cannot allow a business in a
residential zoning district.)
(v) The relief or remedy sought by the variance application must not be available through
other means, such as a conditional use permit or special exception.
Board of Zoning Appeals Procedure
Notification Process
The Code of Virginia requires that all variance petitions heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals meet the
public hearing requirements. These include:
- Posting notices on personal property regarding the hearing (a staff member will provide the signs
at the time the application is submitted)
- Mailings to adjacent property owners notifying them of the date, time, and location of these
hearings
- Placing a legal advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in advance of these hearings
to give those interested an opportunity to speak at the hearing (the petitioner may be billed for the
cost of legal advertisements)
- Allowing ample time between the submission of the application and the public hearing
Time Frame
A typical variance will take 4-6 weeks from the submission of the application to the public hearing. On
the evening of the public hearing with the Board of Zoning Appeals, either the petitioner or his/her
representative is expected to give a brief presentation to the board and answer any questions board
members may have.
The board usually makes its decision on the evening of this public hearing, but it has 90 days, by law, to
make its recommendation. The decision is made in the fonn of a findings of fact. If the board's decision is
to deny the variance, the petitioner may appeal the decision to the Roanoke County Circuit Court within
30 days.

About • my compan�F
My name is Christopher Coles. I started my company, 'Cardinal
Construction LLC' over a decade ago, with the aim of providing quality
construction services in the Roanoke area. I have a background in
engineering and years of hands-on experience in most construction
trades.
Aside from home renovations and additions, Cardinal Construction has
flipped many properties in the region. Some properties were quite
dilapidated and needed major works, others minor repairs.
Here is an example of one of the projects that needed the most help:
Before::.

After
The process elevates both the property and neighborhood.
I purchased 424 E Lee Ave September 2021
• The dwellings on the property were in poor condition.
• Except for the evidence of animals and homeless occupation, had apparently been vacant for
years
• There were major safety issues with the structures, and rotten floors.
r
I
Photos pulled from Zillow
Some • 'before p h • •
The
oal:,
•
• Secure the work area and make safe.
• Clean out all trash, ruined items, rotten wood, animal remains, ......and worse.
• Renovate both structures, to provide 2 efficient, single level homes for longterm
rental.
Clean up the outside area, remove old and damaged trees, new growth close to
buildings, and create off-street parking.
The issues:
• Even though they were pre-existing, the zoning will not allow 2
dwellings on one lot.
• The zoning will not allow the smaller dwelling to be used as living
space.
• Due to road frontage and lots size requirements, the ordinance will
not allow me to sub -divide the lot facilitate the use of both dwellings.
• Due to the length of abandonment the two dwellings can't be
`grandfathered in'.
• Due to the lot size the two dwellings can't be used as a duplex.
Attempts to resolve:
I spoke with town officials to see if there was a way to resolve this
within the zoning rules. With 99' road frontage the lot falls 1 foot short
of the 100' needed to sub -divide. Also, the lot area of 8270sgft does
not allow for the needed area. After many weeks, and with help from
Mr. McClung I managed to secure purchase of the land adjacent to the
lot, for the purpose of adjusting the lot lines to make both dwellings
work. This was a solution we discussed
This meant that the needed land was in reality on the other side o
the lot, as shown here: I

CER77FIED SURVEY r
As I was assured the land sale was proceeding, I have started
renovations to both dwellings, representing a significant input of
money and time.
They already look great, elevating the neighborhood and removing a
dangerous eyesore, all within a few blocks of the newly renovated
downtown area. Every neighbor who has passed has been so
complimentary and happy to see the improvements.
have endeavored to keep the charm and style of the original
structures, whilst providing 2 safe, efficient, and easily maintainable
homes, that are a fresh boost to a great location, that just needed a
little attention.
Neighborhood, -
The new lot sizes
would not be out of
the ordinary for this
neighborhood. I have
included a few
pictures of lot
dimensions of other
houses on Lee Ave, or
within a couple blocks
of my property. You
can see the lot areas
and road frontage is
often less then what I
am requesting.
Neighborhoodl
There are also
many situations
where the
houses are a lot
closer together
then the two
dwellings at
424 E Lee Ave
MffeTeMali: 424 Ave•
So in conclusion, I ask that the frontage and land area variance be
granted. I have tried to resolve the issue and meet ordinance through
the land purchase for the church, but it just didn't work out.
Both these dwellings will make great homes for someone, and provide
affordable single -level living for people in the area at a time most
needed.
Many thanks,
Christopher Coles.
