Dear Mary:
As per our telephone conversation a couple of weeks ago, I am
again requesting time on the Monday, August 24, 1992 City Council
agenda. The purpose of this request is to allow our leadership to
update members of Council about the activities and accomplishments
of Downtown Roanoke Incorporated during the past year and our
plans for the coming year with regards to the ongoing downtown
development effort in Roanoke. This presentation will not take
longer than ten minutes and probably will also include a short slide
show.
As you will recall, we have made a similar informational presentation
each of the last several years.
It is further my understanding that the City Council meeting on
Monday, August 24, 1992 is an evening meeting beginning at 7:30
p.m. and being held at Monterey Elementary School. Please let me
know if this request creates any difficulties or problems. Otherwise,
we'll look forward to seeing you on the evening of August 24, 1992.

DOWNTOWN ROANOKE, INCORPORATED
310 FIRST STREET, S.W · ROANOKE, VIRGINIA 24011 · (703) 342-2028
COMMENTS - WILLIAM H. FULTON
PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1992 - MONTESt- Y ELI~ENi'ARy SCHOOL
Good evening. I'm Bill Fulton, President of Downtown Roanoke Incorporated. It's
a pleasure and a privilege to stand before you this evening and report on the activities
of our organization in regards to the continuing development of downtown Roanoke, its
tax base and its image. While the last twelve months have been a time of economic
stagnation for our nation and our state, a slightly different and more positive experience
has been recorded in our downtown. We have seen work completed on 3 new structures,
2 building expansion projects, and 27 existing building rehabilitations or renovations. All
of these projects collectively represent over $7.6 million dollars of new pdvate sector
reinvestment in our downtown service district.
I'd like to provide you a quick snapshot of what has transpired downtown dudng
the last twelve months in raw economic development figures. There have been 30 new
businesses locating in our downtown during the past year creating 310 new jobs. This
growth against the backdrop of the normal number of business closings and the
downsizing of some of our larger corporate operations, has allowed us to prevent a
significant reduction in the total number of downtown employees.
Our organization's ongoing mission is to preserve and promote Roanoke's central
business district as the center of cultural, business, and governmental activities for all
of western Virginia. This is accomplished through traditional economic development
efforts, image marketing, cooperative retail activity, environmental design, coordinated
downtown management, urban planning, historic preservation and the staging of special
events.
During the past year, we have continued to offer our assistance to Virginia Tech,
the private sector developer, and the City to facilitate the reopening of the Hotel Roanoke
and construction of the adjoining Conference Center. Towards this end, we have
established a grass roots support organization composed of neighborhood groups, civic
clubs, and service organizations from not only the City of Roanoke but the entire Roanoke
Valley. This group was very active in helping secure passage of House Bill #135,
commonly known as the Public Facilities Act. We have kept the downtown business
community informed about progress and activities related to the hotel through our
information flyer entitled "Hotel Roanoke Update". We stand ready to support this project
in any additional way necessary because we believe as you do that it has the greatest
potential within the next decade to generate growth and economic vitality for the
downtown and the entire Roanoke Valley.
Also during the last year, we concluded our Iow interest loan program for the
rehabilitation of older downtown commercial buildings resulting in: 10 loans for a total of
$768,000.00. These loan funds were used to leverage an additional $5.6 million dollars
of private sector capital reinvestment over a twenty-four month period. Six
vacant buildings were reoccupied with new or expanded businesses as a result of this
program. This program also created 85 new jobs - 53 of which went to Iow and moderate
income individuals.
After the conclusion of this financial incentive program, we joined with six
downtown financial institutions to form a new private-sector Iow interest loan pool. The
2
pool assists the development of housing units in existing buildings by converting vacant
and under-utilized upper stories. To date, this program has been directly responsible for
placing three units into service. An additional 30 units are currently going through the
review process. We have also assisted in promoting and marketing the federal rental
rehab program targeted at downtown. This program is making some of the proposed
housing developments like CityCenter homes, the Trinkle Buildings and Howard's Soup
Kitchen possible. We thank the City and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority for adhering to our request to target these federal dollars downtown during
1992. Also, we have completed our 22 month effort to organize and capitalize the
Roanoke Community Development Corporation. This new organization is a for-profit
multi-bank community development whose primary purpose is to assist the development
of housing in the downtown area and the close-in ring of older neighborhoods through
equity investments for qualifying projects. This new entity has been capitalized with
$900,000.00 of private sector money. Downtown Roanoke Incorporated provides
administration and marketing services under contract for this new development partner.
In an effort to keep our data base of statistical information on the downtown
current to attract new businesses and investment, we began work in May on our bi-annual
downtown-wide census. The results from this undertaking should be available within the
next few weeks. We continue to update and provide building inventory profiles on all
available space in the downtown area to prospects, real estate firms, and your City
departments. We ara also in the process of updating pedestrian counts at various
locations to provide better evidence of the potential for development, expansion and
3
locating in downtown. To further our retail recruitment efforts, DRI also collects and
analyzes sales figures for downtown each year. Through our direct recruitment efforts
this past year, we successfully sited four new businesses in the downtown area.
In the area of marketing, DRI places a special emphasis on retaining and
promoting downtown's uniqueness and charm. As a result, we have centered our
marketing efforts on showcasing downtown's excitement and festive image. We now
annually conduct and sponsor 13 special events and festivals collectively attracting almost
100,000 visitors and tourists. In addition, we coordinated and marketed four cooperative
sales events for the downtown retailers with an emphasis on increasing sales during
traditionally slow periods.
In late 1990, DRI set out to position downtown Roanoke as a cornerstone in our
City's tourism development effort. During the last 12 months, we distributed 25,000
Downtown Passports, 75,000 Visitor Guides, 20,000 Downtown Dining Guides and 2,000
promotional calendars and cards. We are also pleased to have helped in the negotiation
and facilitation of keeping First Fridays at Five in the downtown area when their previous
location became too small for their successful after 5:00 p.m. event. Our "Convention
Express" shuttle bus service continues to bring thousands of convention goers from the
major suburban hotels to the downtown area free of charge to shop, dine, visit attractions,
or sightsee. The holiday season continues to be brighter and more beautiful as a result
of the decorations and the electricity to illuminate them which we provide. We greatly
appreciate the deference that the City has given to Downtown Roanoke Incorporated in
regards to determining when and where special events will occur. This has allowed us
4
to shape and focus these events into activities which not only create positive impressions
of downtown but also ring the cash registers and thersby enhance the downtown area as
a business location and tax base generator.
In the area of environmental design, we applaud the City for joining with us in
implementing and installing the directional sign matrix system to guide tourists, visitors,
and newcomers to our six major attractions in the City of Roanoke. We continue to
appreciate the opportunity to represent the interests and opinions of the downtown
business community and property owners in making proposals for inclusion in your capital
improvement plan, in developing a more comprehensive recycling program for the
downtown arsa, in suggesting changes to the composition of the architectural review
board which would enhance representation of those who are governed, and in allowing
us to join with you in saving the American Elm trees on Jefferson Street from dutch elm
disease. We have also spent a considerable amount of time and resources trying to
educate the general public and the downtown employees about the value and importance
of curbside parking spaces. Our parking guides and maps showing locations of parking
facilities and information on how to access them were reprinted and widely distributed
during recent months.
With regards to that special and most colorful area of our downtown, the historic
market area, DRI has helped rally support among the business community and the
general public in raising money and awareness to keep Center In The Square functional
and operational during the last year. We changed the color and design of the market
area shopping bags to depict a fresher image of this important area in our downtown.
5
The second year of our image marketing campaign for the historic market area is nearing
completion with an even greater response and feedback than in 1991. This past year the
campaign consisted of: two outdoor advertising efforts - one in the fall and one in the
spring - print media and radio advertising during the holiday season centered around the
"Dickens of a Christmas" special event, and the production of a summer point of purchase
promotional piece. This past year also saw a continuation of our efforts to attract families
to the market after 5:00 p.m. with another rendition of our old-fashioned trick-or-treating.
December in the Market again brought the decoration of the stalls, streetlights and
fountain with fresh evergreens and bows. In March, we negotiated and implemented the
extension of business hours on Friday evenings for 40 of the historic market area's
businesses and attractions. It is our hope that the results from the trial period through
the end of this year will be sufficient enough to sustain these extended hours indefinitely
into the future.
One of the most important components of the Historic Market Area is the farmers.
Working under our farmers market management and marketing contract from the City, we
have been able to increase the number of monthly and daily renters as well as the overall
number of available stalls. Our farmer recruitment efforts are also continuing. A parking
tag was designed and produced for farm vehicles and trucks to advertise our market
above their state license plates. And finally, the delicate issue of providing restroom
facilities in the market area for farmers and their customers was also adequately
addressed for the short term during the last year.
Some of the other services and initiatives undertaken during the past year by DRI
6
have included: providing educational seminars to downtown businesses, raising funds
to bring six endangered peregrine falcons to the downtown area as a wildlife conservation
effort and a tourism draw, providing information to the downtown business community
about candidates for local public office, realizing changes to the banner and flag
ordinance, exploring established and innovative programs in other cities which deal with
the problems of public inebriation and panhandling, and exploring ways to make the
downtown area feel and look as safe as it really is.
We hope you will agree that our efforts and our labors have been fairly
successful in fulfilling the confidence that you have placed in us by designating us the
primary management entity for the furtherance of downtown Roanoke. With the
continued cooperation of the numerous City departments and offices which we now enjoy
on a daily basis, we believe that even greater accomplishments are possible during fiscal
year 1992-1993. In that vane, you will most likely see Downtown Roanoke Incorporated
take a very active role in helping close the financial gap for the Hotel Roanoke and
Conference Center Project. We will become more involved in the placement of the D-Day
monument in downtown Roanoke. Expect us to developcloserlinkages and cooperative
efforts with our surrounding older residential neighborhoods. Our efforts will also include
support and promotion of the Jefferson Center as it ushers in the beginning of the
anticipated metamorphosis to the western end of downtown.
We anticipate bringing before you in the coming year proposals requiring
contributions and participation from both the public and private sectors for: 1.) the long
discussed placement of mounted police patrols in the downtown area, 2.) a potential
7
problem bird control mechanism and 3.) the placement of information kiosks on our
sidewalks. These anticipated initiatives and the continuation of our existing efforts can
only be successful during the next year if we maintain the strong partnership we have
developed by working together over the last 32 years.
On behalf of the 30 member volunteer board of Downtown Roanoke Incorporated,
its officers, and its membership, I want to thank the City of Roanoke for its support and

CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC MEETING
August 24, 1992
Mayor Bowers, Members of Roanoke City Council, Mrs.
Parker, and, most importantly, fellow citizens of
Roanoke...thank you for hearing my concerns this evening.
Tonight, I come before you as a taxpaying citizen of
Roanoke to request that you rescind and extinguish
forever the 2 for 1 Pension Plan and the double
retirement.
The citizens of Roanoke deserve to have several questions
answered regarding the 2 for 1 Pension Plan and the
double retirement which were passed by the City
Council, June 30, 1989 and extended on May 11, 1992.
Because of time constraints, I will read the questions,
so that they will be formally included in the minutes and
then ask for a commitment by this council to respond to
the questions with detailed answers printed in the
Roanoke Times & World-News and the Roanoke Tribune by the
next public meeting.
MR. VICE MAYOR FITZPATRICK: Congratulations to you for
demonstrating positive and courageous leadership in
stating that "the 2 for 1 pension is not in the best
interest of the city or its citizens" and recommending
that the Council take action right away and "shut it
down".
I further appreciate you taking time out of your busy
schedule to call me personally last Friday to discuss the
pension problem and for your candid response that you did
not remember how you voted on the pension plan in 1989.
My questions to you: . .
- What are ALL the legal options available?
- What are all the financial ramifications (short-term
and long-term) of each option?
- And, Mr. Vice Mayor, why is there such an apparent
reluctance to take these issues of vital concern to
the taxpayers of Roanoke directly to Attorney
General Mary Sue Terry for a ruling?
The crisis of confidence that taxpayers are now feeling
could partially be restored by receiving Attorney General
Terry's opinion on the matter...because, members of City
Council, Roanoke is not at'the~financial altitude to give
people golden parachutes.
COUNCILF~%~ ~4USSER: According to the Roanoke Times &
World-News, August 20, 1992, you could not support the
Vice Mayor's Pension Proposal until you saw it. Have
you seen his proposal and had the opportunity to review
it? And, if so, what is your position? And if you
haven't seen the proposal, why not?
2
COUNCILMAN HARVEY: In 1989, before you returned to your
present council seat, you led a citizens group against
unfair taxation. While the 2 for 1 Pension and double
retirement idea had a purpose as it related to
Consolidation, after consolidation fell through, why did
the 2 for I pension plan and double retirement remain in
effect?
Councilman Harvey, this pension issue has created a
severe problem for this city. We all need to work
together to solve this problem. As a taxpayer and a
voter, I call upon you to make public the names of the
City Council members you were referring to when you
stated in the August 20, 1992 Roanoke Times & Wo~ld-News
article that some Council members were politically
posturing on this issue.
I'm puzzled, Councilman Harvey, isn't your current
position regarding the pension issue in direct conflict
with the citizens protest you led in 19897 Could it be
that in 1989 you didn't benefit from the plan and now
you do?
MAYOR BOWERS: We know that five days after the election,
on May 11, 1992, you demonstrated your commitment to the
people of Roanoke by voting NO for the 2 for 1 pension
plan and double retirement. For that, you are to be
congratulated!
However, according to the Roanoke Times & World-News,
August 20, 1992, you hadn't formulated a current opinion
regarding the pension problem. Yet, during your campaign
you spoke often of "TAKING BACK CITY HALL FOR THE
CITIZENS". If ever there was a time when strong
leadership is needed...that time is NOW.
Mr. Mayor, listen to the anguished cries of your people,
the citizens of Roanoke! Correct this serious breach of
trust.
Tonight, we're here to let City Council know that the
citizens are at the gates of City Hall...and we're here
to take it back!
When elected, you each pledged to serve the citizens -
not be served by the citizens. Roanoke has no silver
trays upon which to bring you special pension deals while
city employees get 3% raises and a select few get 10%
raises...while schools are under funded...while health
care services need to be increased...while many of our
citizens are either underemployed or unemployed...while
there are homeless and hungry citizens walking our
streets.
4
Members of City Council, if indeed it truly is impossible
to "repeal" your action, then I call upon you and all top
officials covered by this "plan" to do something that is
heroic - something that will prove your good faith to
each citizen and restore our confidence in you
individually and collectively. What is-this action? Put
it in writing that you will - each of you - refuse to
personally accept the special 2 for 1 pension plan and
double retirement.
Your positive leadership and swift action of individually
turning back the pensions, would solve the legal problem
and relieve the taxpayers of the fiscal neglect which you
(City Council) caused July, 1989 and again, on May 11,
1992.
Put our beloved Roanoke back on track and let our Star
City shine as it shouldi,
Thank you for your time.

A PRESENTATION TO
ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
BY
ROBERT L. HENDERSON, CITY EMPLOYEE FOR 13½ YEARS
ON BEHALF AND AT THE REQUEST OF CITIZENS & FELLOW ~MPLOYEES
AUGUST 24, 1992
It has been two months since a delegation of Roanoke City Employees last
aPpeared before you to voice their concerns regarding Roanoke City's
revised pay plan. During these past 60 days, a number of new developments
have occurred which in our opinion compells us to address you once again.
First and foremost in this list of developments was the implementation of
the pay plan's revisions on July 1 - the beginning of Roanoke's fiscal
year. These revisions were protrayed as the solutions to the problems of
pay compression and "salary leaping" and they were made also to address
concerns over the competitiveness and fairness of the pay system. Two
weeks after,the revisions went into effect, employees all over the City
opened their Paychecks to learn exactly how these revisions effected them.
Here is what they learned:
951 City employees with less than seven years of service
were granted pay increases of up to 25% of their salary
depending on the number of years they had worked.
862 employees with more than seven years of service got
all of a 3% increase regardless of the number of years
they had worked.
Did this plan solve all the problems it was designed to?
We still have pay compression - only now everyone is
clumped around the middle of the scale.
We still have gross inequities in wages - for people in
similar jobs. In fact, in several specific instances, new
~nequities have been created because of the adjusted wages
for those employees with fewer than seven years.
How about fairness? Is the revised pay plan fair? We submit
to you that when half of your employees get a significant raise
and the other half get an insignificant ~ncrease, and it clearly
favors those People with less than seven years of service - then
no, it's not fair either.
In fact what resulted was that City employees were divided into two
groups on the basis of pay and seniority. You couldn't do more to
lessen the morale of these people if you could drive a wedge between
them and send them off to war against each other.
D~d anyone recognize this? In an interview in the August 10 Roanoke
Times & World News, one top City administrator conceded that morale
was probably Iow for a few individual workers, but he didn't know how
widespread it was.

Tonight, August 24, we'd like to give you an idea:

effected by the revised
These are not "a few disgruntled workers" as you may have been told,
nor do these employees work only in the police or fire departments
as YOU may have been told.
and by their presence here
about this inequitable pay
There are representatives here from .
tonight, they are registering their concern
plan.
In conversations I have had this past week, it has been suggested to
me that we employees should cultivate the qualities of patience and
Patience because changes in so massive a system as
the City's pay plan take time, or so I am told. "Understandin "because
in addition to a fair salary for its 1,800 employees there are other
demands upon the City's limited resources. Health care costs continue
to rise, solid waste dumping costs are going up - everything has to
be carefully evaluated and responsibility prioritized.
We City employees know about patience. We have been waiting seven years
for the inequities of the 1985 pay p~an to be corrected and now here we
are in 2992 with a revision and the damn thing is ~till brokenJ
We City employees know about understanding, too. All of us have to
assign Priorities when making decisions about how our own personal
money gets spent. And all of us were understanding in fiscal year 91-92
when revenue shortfalls froze our salaries. So we can understand you
when you say that there are matters that in the best interests of
the City might occupy a higher priority than fair compensation,
But it is hard to be understanding when you top officio'Is award
yourselves .the most lucrative retirement plan of any city in the
entire state! And that's a development that's occurred recently
cries out for justification,
(3)
that
While we're on the subject of qualities, one ought to cultivate, let's
talk about two more, This mess is no longer only about the City's
revised pay plan and your lucrative pensions, It started with those
issues, but in the last 60 days it has grown beyond them, It is now
also about trust and credibility. Trust that the public gives to their
elected officials when they vote them into office, Trust that employees
give to their employer that they will receive a fair wage for each day's
work, and .credibility, as in, when you say you are a representative of
the people then that is how you act, And, when you say the new pay plan
is going to correct inequities, then that is exactly what it does,
I'd like to propose a bargain, We will work on the patience and the
understanding; You work on the credibility and the trust,

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
Grant - Elm Tree Injection Program
City American Elm tree population has declined steadily
over the past decades due to the tree's susceptibility to
Dutch Elm Disease.
Eiqht mature American Elms are located along Jefferson
Street in Elmwood Park.
Injection of American Elms with a fungicide is a proven
method of offering protection for the disease.
Urban Forestry staff are responsible for the management
of these trees.
II. C~]tRENT SITUATION:
Elms along Jefferson are an extremely valuable asset to
Elmwood Park and this area of downtown Roanoke.
Current maintenance of these trees does not include the
most effective method of Dutch Elm Disease prevention:
injection.
Parks and Recreation, Downtown Roanoke,
Beautiful, Inc. and Roanoke Valley
Foundation share concern for the survival
other Elms within the City.
Inc., Valley
Preservation
of these and
Application for "America the Beautiful" Grant was filed
with the Virginia Department of Forestry, by the Parks
and Recreation Department, with support of these other
agencies.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Execution of Real Estate Options
at 2757 Hoover Street NW and
2930 Glenrose Avenue N~V under the
Home Purchase Assistance Program
I. Background:
$220~000 from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Develop-
ment's Single Family Rehabilitation and Energy Conservation Loan Program~
and $2#0~000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds were
allocated to the Home Purchase Assistance Program by City Council on
June 26, 1989, allowing the City to provide loans to low-moderate income
households agreeing to buy and repair approximately 18-20 certain ident-
ified substandard houses. The Program is administered jointly by the City
and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA), as outlined
in the City's current contract for services with RRHA.
Ce
Real Estate Options were selected as the best way to allow the City to
implement the Home Purchase Assistance Program. These Options define
the property owner's and the City's responsibilities under the Program,
establish a purchase price for the property, and allow the City to
access and market the property for sale to qualifying low and
moderate income purchasers in the Program through assignment of the
Real Estate Option. This provides for a direct sale of the property
from the current owner to the purchaser selected through the Program.
The City will not exercise any Option and will not actually purchase
any property in the Program. Should the City be unable to find a buyer
for the property, the Real Estate Option would be allowed to expire.
Council previously authorized the City Manager to execute Options with
individual property owners of several properties to be included in the
Home Purchase Assistance Program.
II. Current Situation:
Real Estate Options have been executed by the owners of vacant single-
family homes, as outlined in Attachments A & B. Housing Development
staff has determined that the offered price is reasonable to allow
homes to be included in the Program.
Council authorization to the City Manager to execute Real Estate Options
(Attachments A & B) with the owners of the properties is necessary to
allow these properties to be marketed through the Program.
August 2~ 1992
Page 2
III. Issues:
A. Cost to the City
B. Consistency with established housing plans and policies of the City
C. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
A. Authorize the City Manager to execute Real Estate Options as outlined
in Attachments A & 5~ to be approved as to form by the City Attorney,
with the owners of these properties selected for the Home Purchase
Assistance Program.
Cost to the City would be $1.00 per Option· Under separate sub-
sequent action, Council will be asked to approve assignment of
the Options to qualifying purchasers under the Program and
authorize loaning COBG funds allowing the purchase and rehabilitation
of the properties to occur.
Consistency with established housing plans and policies of the City
will be met as two additional home-ownership opportunities will be
provided to low-moderate income households. Owner occupancy and
rehabilitation of two additional vacant substandard houses will
provide significant contribution toward stabilization and rejuve-
nation within each neighborhood.
3. Timing is such that prompt execution of these Options will allow
immediate marketing of the houses.
B. Do not authorize the City Manager to execute Real Estate Options as
outlined in Attachments A & B~ to be approved as to form by the City
Attorney, with the owners of these properties selected for the Home
Purchase Assistance Program.
I. Cost of the City can be recognized as lost opportunity cost.
Consistency with established housing plans and policies of the City
will not be met as home-ownership opportunities will not be pro-
vided to low-moderate income households in the Northwest quadrant
of the City.
3. Timing would not be an issue.
August 24, 1992

V. Recommendation:
Adopt Alternative A, thereby authorizing the City Manager to execute
Real Estate Options as outlined in Attachments A & B, to be approved
as to form by the City Attorney, with the owners of these properties
selected for the Home Purchase Assistance Program.

Gentlemen:
A report of the City Manager recommending appointment of a bid committee to receive
bids for Carvins Cove Improvements, Phase I, and report back to Council, rather
than receiving said bids at a regular meeting of City Council, was before the Council
of the City of Roanoke at a regular meeting held on Monday, August 24, 1992.
On motion, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, Council concurred in the
recommendation and you were appointed as members of the bid committee.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request Change in Bid Date
Carvins Cove Improvements,
Roanoke, Virginia
Phase I
II.
I. Backqround:
Phase I of Carvins Cove Improvements for engineering
services was awarded by City Council to Mattern &
Craig, Inc. in association with Alvord, Burdick, and
Howson, on August 26, 1991.
Desiqn work under the Phase I contract includes
everything from the intake chamber at the dam, the
redesign of the low lift pump station, all design work
relating to the filter plant expansion and update, a
new filter backwash system and a new 4 million gallon
water storage reservoir. The project at the plant
terminates with the water main connection below the
connection of the existing and proposed finished water
reservoirs, and some renovations to Boxley Hills Pump
Station.
Current Situation:
Contract documents for construction have been
completed and submitted to the Commonwealth of
Virginia Department of Health. The comments from the
regional office have been incorporated into the
contract documents and re-submitted for approval.
From there they are forwarded to the Richmond office
for final approval. It is anticipated that the
project could be advertised by August 30, 1992.
Consultants have recommended that bids be received on
a date other than Monday which is the normal Council
meeting time. They have recommended Friday, October
16, 1992.
Page 2
III .
IV.
Issues are as follows:
A. Anticipation of the number of bidders.
B. Time of bid opening.
C. Disruption of regular Council meeting.
Alternatives are as follows:
City Council approve the reception of bids at a
time other than a regular Council meeting and
appoint a Bid Committee to receive bids and report
back to Council.
Anticipation of the number of bidders on a
project of this magnitude is that there will
be quite a few. In addition to the general
contractors, it is anticipated that quite a
few subcontractors and material suppliers
will also be in attendance.
Time of bid opening, other than Monday, is
recommended by the consultants. They believe
that communication between contractors,
subcontractors and material suppliers is
better late in the week as compared to the
first day after the weekend, thus resulting
in lower, more responsive bids.
Disruption of regular Council meeting could
be avoided by having a Bid Committee receive
bids and report back to Council. With a
project of this magnitude, it is conceivable
that the bid opening could require half the
normal time of a regular Council meeting and
fill the Council Chambers.
Do not appoint a Bid Committee to receive bids
open proposals before Council at its regular
meeting.
and
Anticipation of the number of bidders would
not change.
Page 3
Time of bid opening would remain on a
regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Communication between contractors,
subcontractors and material suppliers would
not be as good as if the project were bid
mid-week which could result in higher bids.
Disruption of regular Council meeting would
occur. With the number of contractors,
subcontractors and material suppliers
anticipated for this bid opening, it would
definitely disrupt the regular Council
meeting causing it to be much longer.
V. Recommendations are as follows:
A. Approve the implementation of Alternative A.
City Council appoint a Bid Committee to receive
bids at a time other than regular Council meeting
and to report back to City Council at their next
regular scheduled meeting time.

This Agreement is entered into this day of ,

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City of Roanoke owns and operates a
wastewater treatment system and,
WHEREAS, Roanoke County currently utilized this
wastewater treatment system pursuant to the Service Agreement
between the City of Roanoke and Roanoke County dated March 17,
1972; and
WHEREAS, the City of Roanoke has developed and
implemented an industrial pretreatment program pursuant to
conditions contained in its discharge permit #VA002520 issued by
Virginia State Water Control Board~ and
WHEREAS, Section VII (B) of the above mentioned Service
Agreement includea provisions to comply with lawful orders
concerning mattere of pretreating wastes, and
~EREAS, the parties to this Agreement have agreed to
amend the 28 March 1989 Agreement by the adoption of this
amendment, which amends
Agreement~ and
the provisions of Section 7 of this
WHEREAS, Roanoke County desires to continue to utilize
the wastewater treatment system and recognizes its industrial
waste control obligation under 40 CRF 403.
In consideration of the following terms and conditions the
City of Roanoke and Roanoke County agree:
1. Roanoke County shall adopt and diligently enforce a sewer
use ordinance which is identical to the sewer use ordinance
adopted by the City of Roanoke. Additionally, Roanoke
County shall include a provision in its sewer use ordinance
requiring any industrial user responsible for an accidental
discharge to notify immediately both the city of Roanoke and
Roanoke County. In order that the Roanoke County sewer use
ordinance be adequate to administer the industrial
pretreatment program within Roanoke County, the City of
Roanoke shall explicitly incorporate the following
provisions into its sewer use ordinance;
(a) a prohibition on the use of dilution as a control
technique for compliance with discharge limits except as
allowed by Federal Pretreatment Standards;
(b) a grant of authority to impose mass discharge limits in
lieu of, or in conjunction
limits;
(c) a prohibition against
with, concentration discharge
and penalty for the knowing
transmittal of false information by an industrial user in
any reports they are required to submit;
2
e
(d) a grant of explicit authority to require the
installation of all monitoring and pretreatment facilities.
The City of Roanoke and Roanoke County shall periodically
(at a minimum of every three (3) years review their
respective ordinances and jointly draft and adopt equivalent
amendments to their respective ordinances when necessary to
ensure the effective administration and operation of the
pretreatment program. Whenever either the City of Roanoke
or Roanoke County becomes aware of a problem with the
pretreatment 9rogram which can be mitigated by a change in
the sewer use ordinance, the City of Roanoke may adopt an
amendment which Roanoke County shall adopt. The City of
Roanoke ordinance shall not contain more stringent
requirements to be met by industrial users in Roanoke County
than are required to be met by industrial users within the
City of Roanoke. The Roanoke County sewer use ordinance
shall always remain identical to or more stringent than the
City of Roanoke sewer use ordinance.
The City of Roanoke ordinance shall require that the
categorical pretreatment standards promulgated by the U.S.
En¥iro~ental Protection Agency (EPA) (promulgated by
authority of the Clean Water Act Section 307(B) and (C)) be
auto~atically incorporated by reference into the City of
Roanoke ordinance. The identical ordinance adopted by
Roanoke County will, therefore, contain those same
provisions. These standards shall supersede any specific
4e
discharge limits in the ordinance which are less stringent
than the categorical standard as they apply to a particular
industry subcategory.
Roanoke County shall notify all affected industrial users of
pertinent categorical standards and monitoring and reporting
requirements contained in 40 CFR 403.12 or included as part
of the categorical standard. Roanoke County shall provide
the City of Roanoke with copies of all required reports and
monitoring documentation for submittal to the appropriate
regulatory agencies by October of each year or as determined
by the City of Roanoke.
The city of Roanoke shall make the final determination as to
whether a particular industrial user is classified as &
significant industrial user or an industrial user based on
information the City of Roanoke may request from Roanoke
County. Roanoke County shall control, through industrial
discharge permits, industrial waste discharge from each
significant user or industrial user discharging into the
public sewer. Roanoke County shall provide draft discharge
permits to the City of Roanoke for review and incorporate
any changes legally required by the City of Roanoke.
If there exists any industrial user discharging to Roanoke
County public sewer system but located outside the
jurisdictional limits of Roanoke County, then Roanoke County
shall negotiate and enter into an agreement with this
outside jurisdiction. Such agreement shall be substantially
equivalent to this Agreement, and shall be jointly executed
by Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke and the outside
jurisdiction. If the outside jurisdiction refuses to
negotiate and execute an agreement, then Roanoke County
shall enter into a contract with the industrial user which
contains terms and conditions substantially equivalent to
Roanoke County industrial discharge permits.
Roanoke County shall file with the City of Roanoke a
certified copy of its ordinance and any amendments thereto,

Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Subject: Bid to Purchase and Appropriation of Funds for Replacement of
Photocopiers/Duplicator - Bid Number 92-7-40
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
I. Back.qround:
The Department of Management Services is charqed with the responsibility of
providinq/maintaininq photocopy equipment capable of reproducinq an average of
210,000 copies per month for all City departments and agencies. These copiers are
strategically located throughout the Municipal Complex, Courthouse and at outlying
City facilities.
B. The followinq equipment needs to be replaced in order to maintain the current level
of productivity:
Municipal Complex - The City's main copiers (2 Xerox 1090 Duplicators)
reproduce an average of 150,000 copies per month. These particular copiers
have a copy log in excess of 6,000,000 copies and have become unreliable due
to maintenance requirements/downtime.
Recreation Department - The Recreation Department currently has a small
tabletop Savin - Model 895 copier which is extremely antiquated, makes very
poor quality copies and is inadequate to meet their needs of approximately 7,000
copies per month. This particular copier was designed to handle a maximum of
only 1,000 copies per month.
Public Works Service Center - A Xerox Model 1025 copier was purchased in
October, 1988, for use by the eight (8) City departments located at the Service
Center. This copier, which was designed to handle between 3,000 - 5,000
copies per month, is inadequate to meet their needs of 9,000 copies per month.
II. Current Situation:
Municipal Building - There were no duplicators/copiers designed to adequately replace
one of the existing main units (100,000 copies per month) listed on State Contract.
Therefore, specifications were developed for a large-volume duplicator to replace the
existing equipment.
tonorable Mayor and Members of City Council

Bid requests were specifically sent to thirteen (13) firms currently listed on the City's
bid list with six (6) firms responding. A public advertisement was also published in
the Roanoke Times and World News on April 1, 1992.
Bids were received, after due and proper advertisement, until 2:00 p.m., on April 13,
1992, at which time, all bids so received were publicly opened and read in the Office
of the Manager of General Services.
All bids were evaluated in a consistent manner by representatives of Management
Services and General Services.
Due to complaints of restriction of bids from vendors concerning speed and size of
copiers required and the shod time frame involved, all bids were rejected.
Specifications were reevaluated and the speed required was reduced from 92 copies
per minute to 85 copies per minute to allow for more competitive bids. It was
determined at that time that further reduction of speed would greatly hamper our
ability to provide timely and quality service to our users. Due to limited space,
however, the size of the copiers required was not an item that could be altered.
Bid requests were again requested and sent to thirteen (13) firms currently listed on
the City's bid list with eight (8) firms responding. A public advertisement was also
published in the Roanoke Times and World News and the Roanoke Tribune on July
19, 1992.
Bids were received, after due and proper advertisement, until 2:00 p.m., on July 31,
1992, at which time, all bids so received were publicly opened and read in the Office
of the Manager of General Services.
All bids were evaluated in a consistent manner by representatives of Management
Services and General Services. Bid tabulation is attached.
The lowest responsible bid, meetinq specifications was submitted by the Xerox
Corporation for a Model 1090 Duplicator at a total cost of $471009 each. All other
bids took exceptions to the specifications that were substantial and could not be
waived as informalities and are as follows:
1. 3RD FLOOR COPIER - 200,000 VOLUME PER MONTH:
a. Monroe Systems for Business ($171595 Includinq Trade-In):
Offset Stacker/Collator - This company bid their equipment without any
type of sorter in order to meet size requirements. However, to
manually sort needed information would be very time consuming and
tedious,
, Ionorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 3
Internal Auditor/Copy Controller - To account for all copies made and
backcharge user departments, each department is assigned a specific
account number which is programmed into the auditor. A five-digit
account number is used to allow more efficient recognition/retrieval of
account numbers/departments.
b. Acme Business Machines ($21,495 Includinq Trade-In):
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
Offset Stacker/Collator - Offset stacker-styled collators are more time
efficient, take up less space and create fewer instances of downtime
due to jams and misfeeds. Again, space is extremely limited in this
area.
Internal Auditor/Copy Controller - To account for all copies made and
backcharge user departments, each department is assigned a specific
account number which is programmed into the auditor. A five-digit
account number is used to allow more efficient recognition/retrieval of
account numbers/departments.
4 Work-Hour Turnaround for Maintenance Calls - This company's
stated average turnaround for maintenance calls was 8 hours. A 4
work-hour turnaround for maintenance calls is required as this copier
is the main copier for the City. Copier downtime due to equipment
malfunction/breakage lowers productivity and slows down the flow of
required forms/documents.
Copy Van Company:
85 Copies/Minute - The current copier produces approximately 92
copies per minute. Even at this speed, at times, users are lined out
into the hallway waiting to make copies. 75 copies per minute will not
meet the needs of the users, will decrease productivity and slow down
the flow of required forms/documents.
Paul B. Williams Company ($28,000 Includinq Trade-In):
220 Electrical Requirements - This particular copier uses 110 electrical
outlet. Current area has 220 installed. In order to use this copier,
outlet would have to be downgraded to 110.
,~onorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 4
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
85 Copies/Minute - The current copier produces approximately 92
copies per minute. Even at this speed, at times, users are lined out
into the hallway waiting to make copies. 80 copies per minute will not
meet the needs of the users, will decrease productivity and slow down
the flow of required forms/documents.
e. Kodak Company ($33,250 Includinq Trade-In):
o New Equipment The equipment bid is a used/refurbished/
remanufactured piece of equipment; not new.
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
Enlarqement An enlargement feature was desirable, but not
mandatory. Without this, however, users would have to go to copiers
that do have this feature which are located in other departments - less
time efficient.
Xerox Corporation - Lowest responsible bid meeting specifications was
submitted by Xerox Corporation.
g. A.B. Dick Products - No bid submitted.
h. Lanier Company - No bid submitted.
2. 4TH FLOOR COPIER - 1201000 VOLUME/MONTH:
a. Monroe Systems for Business ($20,715 Includinq Trade-In):
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.

outlet would have to be downgraded to 110.
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
85 Copies/Minute - The current copier produces approximately 92
copies per minute. Even at this speed, at times, users are lined out
into the hallway waiting to make copies. 83 copies per minute will not
meet the needs of the users, will decrease productivity and slow down
the flow of required forms/documents.
,-Ionorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 6
Computer Paper Reduction/Feed - A great deal of paperwork is
generated by the mainframe computer and is used by all City
departments and agencies. Without this feature, copying computer
forms would be tedious and extremely time consuming.
Internal Auditor/Copy Controller - To account for all copies made and
backcharge user departments, each department is assigned a specific
account number which is programmed into the auditor. A five-digit
account number is used to allow more efficient recognition/retrieval of
account numbers/departments.
d. Copy Van ($26,000 Includinq Trade-In):
85 Copies/Minute - The current copier produces approximately 92
copies per minute. Even at this speed, at times, users are lined out
into the hallway waiting to make copies. 75 copies per minute will not
meet the needs of the users, will decrease productivity and slow down
the flow of required forms/documents.
e. Paul B. Williams ($28,000 Includinq Trade-In):
220 Electrical Requirements - This particular copier uses 110 electrical
outlet. Current area has 220 installed. In order to use this copier,
outlet would have to be downgraded to 110.
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely

precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
85 Copies/Minute - The current copier produces approximately 92
copies per minute. Even at this speed, at times, users are lined out
into the hallway waiting to make copies. 80 copies per minute will not
meet the needs of the users, will decrease productivity and slow down
the flow of required forms/documents.
Reduction (64% Varying) - Capability to reduce large documents is a
necessity. This particular copier can reduce, but only to 65%.
However, this would not cause any hardship for user departments.

o New Equipment The equipment bid is a used/refurbished/
remanufactured piece of equipment; not new.
Size - The space where the copiers are to be located is extremely
limited in size. In order to allow adequate ventilation (safety
precautions), adequate room for maintenance of copiers and access to
and from two City departments and a telephone utility room, the size of
any copier for this area can be no larger than 6'L x 3"W.
Enlargement An enlargement feature was desirable, but not
mandatory. Without this, however, users would have to go to copiers
that do have this feature which are located in other departments - less
time efficient.
g. Xerox Corporation - Lowest responsible bid meeting specifications was
submitted by Xerox Corporation.
An analysis was made by the Department of Management Services to determine
actual copier needs for the Recreation Department and Public Works Service Center.
Based on the information received, a Monroe - Model 935DX was selected. This
copier is on State Contract at a cost of $6,050 each.
III. Issues:
A. Need.
B. Compliance with specifications.
C. Fund availability.
IV. Alternatives:
Council accept the lowest responsible bid meetinq specifications for two (2) new
Xerox 1090 Duplicators as submitted by the Xerox Corporation at a cost of $471009
each and concur in the purchase of two (2) Monroe - Model 935DX copiers listed at
State Contract cost of $6,050 each, for a total cost of $1061118.
1. Need - Requested equipment is needed to replace existing equipment which is
unreliable and/or inadequate to meet the copying needs of the City of Roanoke.
,-Ionorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 8
2. Compliance with Specifications - The units recommended in this alternative meet
required specifications.
3. Fund Availability - Funds are available in Internal Services Retained Earnings for
equipment replacement.
B. Reject all bids and the purchase of two (2) copiers listed on State Contract.
1. Need - Required replacement equipment would not be purchased resulting in
copying needs of the City not being met in a timely and cost effective manner.
2. Compliance with Specifications - would not be a factor in this alternative.
3. Fund Availability - Available funds would not be expended.
V. Recommendation:
Council concur with Alternative "A", thereby accepting the lowest responsible bid
meeting specifications for two (2) new Xerox 1090 Duplicators as submitted by the
Xerox Corporation at a cost of $47,009 each and concur in the purchase of two (2)
Monroe - Model 935DX copiers listed at State Contract cost of $6,050 each, for a total
cost of $106,118.
Appropriate $106,118 from Internal Services Retained Earnings account to
Management Services' "Other Equipment" account #006-002-1617-9015 for these
purchases.
C. Reject all other bids.

SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF THE WALNUT AVENUE
BRIDGE OVER ROANOKE RIVER
II.
I. Backqround:
Annual Bridge Inspection Proqram has determined that the
Walnut Avenue Bridge over the Roanoke River has continued
to deteriorate to the point where major repairs and/or
total replacement is required.
Various avenues of repair and maintenanc~ to rehabilitate
the bridge to safety standards were investigated but the
necessary modifications were so extensive that partial or
total replacement became the only feasible and cost
effective approach.
Advertisement requesting qualifying proposals (RFP) to do
the necessary survey work, perform required environmental
assessments, and produce design plans and all related
construction documents was placed in the Roanoke Times &
World News on May llth, 1992.
Current Situation:
A.
Three consultant enqineering firms responded with
qualifying proposals to perform the work in accordance
with the Request for Professional Services as advertised.
These firms were as follows:
1. Mattern & Craig, Inc., Consulting Engineers and
Surveyors of Roanoke, Virginia
2. Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Architects,
Engineers, & Planners of Roanoke, Virginia
3. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., Engineers,
Planners, & Surveyors of Raleigh, North Carolina

City Council

Personal Interviews were held with all three of the
referenced firms in the office of the City Engineer on
Friday, July 10th, 1992, with the following persons
representing the City as the review committee:
1. Charles M. Huffine, P.E., City Engineer
2. Philip C. Schirmer, P.E., L.S., Civil Engineer I
3. Earl Sturgill, Project Manager, Civil Engineer I
Interview Process demonstrated to the Review Committee
that Mattern & Craig, Inc., Consulting Engineers and
Surveyors of Roanoke, Virginia, had the most compre-
hensive understanding of the bridge problems and the
scope of work involved. They further demonstrated that
they had the professional and technical staff and
specialized equipment to do the job on schedule. On this
basis, it was decided that it would be in the best
interest of the City of Roanoke to select this firm to
do the project.
Negotiations were conducted with Mattern & Craig, Inc.,
Consulting Engineers and Surveyors of Roanoke, Virginia,
submitting a contract proposal to perform certain
preliminary work designated as Phase I prior to final
design and construction. This will provide the City with
a recommendation for a design alternative with cost
estimate for use in a future capital improvements bond
referendum. Phase II (Design) and Phase III
(Construction Quality Control) will be negotiated at a
later date as funds become available. The work proposed
in the contract is as follows:
Phase I, Preliminary
1. Surveys $23,650.00
2. Geotechnical Investigations 11,000.00
3. Hydraulic Analysis 8,875.00
4. Approach Roadway Improvements 29,400.00
5. Bridge with Recommended
Alternate & Estimate 39,075.00
6. Environmental Site Assessments 6~000.00
TOTAL CONTRACT PROPOSAL
$118,000.00
A copy of the proposed contract is attached to this
report.

III. Issues in Order of Importance:
A. Engineerinq concerns in providing continued safety to the
traveling public.
B. Reasonableness of contract fee.
C. Available fundinq.
IV. Alternatives:
Award Enqineering Services Contract to Mattern & Craig,
Inc., Consulting Engineers and Surveyors to perform the
work for the preliminary Phase I in the amount of
$118~000.00.
Engineerinq concerns will be met by providing
adequate safety to the traveling public when
construction is completed.
Reasonableness of fee has been confirmed by
comparing similar projects and VDOT guidelines.
3. Fundinq is available in the General Fund account
number 001-004-9310-9508.
Do not award engineering services contract to Mattern &
Craig, Inc., Consulting Engineers and Surveyors, in the
amount of $118,000.00 for Phase I·
Enqineerinq concerns in providing adequate safety to
the traveling public will not be alleviated; and the
Walnut Avenue Bridge will continue to deteriorate to
worsened conditions.
Reasonableness of fee will have to be re-negotiated
in the near future as the bridge will continue to
deteriorate. Loads in excess of the posted 10 tons
limit will be exceeded and result in an accellerated
deterioration.
Available fundinq will not be an issue at the
present time but will have to be reconsidered in the
near future.

the City Attorney to Mattern & Craig, Inc., Consulting
Engineers and Surveyors, for the preliminary Phase I work
in the amount of $118,000.00.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Bids on Pipe Inspection System
Bid No. 92-7-21
I. Background:
Equipment to visually inspect the internal condition
of sanitary sewer lines is vital and critical to
efficiently maintain and trouble shoot sewer lines.
The pipe inspection system will replace a similar
system purchased in December of 1990 but returned to
the vendor due to a lack of reliability. The City
recovered $40~000.00 or 81% of the purchase price of
the unit.
One bid was received on July 27~ 1992~ after due and
proper advertisement and was publicly opened and read
at 2:00 p.m. in the office of the Manager of General
Services.
II. Current Situation:
A. Evaluation of bids received was accomplished by:
Mr. Kit B. Klser, Director, Utilities and Operations
Mr. Jesse H. Perdue, Jr., Manager, Utility Line Services
Mr. D. Darwin Roupe, Manager, General Services
Competitive bid process was used due to inability to
determine sole source status. Specifications for
combined crawler and lateral inspection system were
general in nature to allow for competitive bidding.
Other known source of requested equipment was firm City
had returned same equipment to in April, 1992, due to
lack of reliability.
The bid submitted by Cues~ Inc.~ was in the amount of
$27~910.00 which includes alternates as requested by
the City. The bid submitted met all specifications.

Dear Members of City Council:
On the agenda for your consideration at the August 10th
meeting was the annual contract for services with the
Redevelopment and Housing Authority. Because that contract had
not been considered by the Authority Board of Commissioners at
that time, the report was removed from the agenda.
The intent was to present the matter to you at your meeting
of August 24th, but it was inadvertently left off of the agenda
which was sent to you earlier. Accordingly, I am providing it to
you at this time and asking Mrs. Parker to include it on the
agenda for your consideration.
I apologize for having to take these measures and thank you
for your indulgence.
Respectfully submitted,
City Manager

August 24, 1992
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Contract for Services with the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority
I. Background:
ae
City Council appropriated Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds on June 22, 1992 by Ordinance No.
31067-062292. CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 1992-93 total
$2,437,000 including $1,899,000 new entitlement and
$538,000 in program income.
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA)
historically has administered certain portions of CDBG
programs for the City, including housing rehabilitation
and economic development activities.
Ce
For Fiscal Year 1993, RRHA will also administer $642',500
of the City's $756,000 HOME allocation from HUD.
II. Current Situation:
Funds budgeted for RRHA's services in FY 92-93 total
$444,463 for administration and support of five (5)
economic development programs, eight (8) housing
programs, one (1) neighborhood redevelopment project,
and three (3) categories of housing projects under HUD's
HOME program.
Project funds to be administered by RRHA, and covered by
this contract, total $739,218 in CDBG funds and $642,500
in HOME funds. Total value of contract - administration
plus project funds is $1,826,181. (Not including State
and private matching funds).
CJ
Total value of projects to be administered by RRHA
through this contract exceeds $3 million including CDBG
funds, other HUD funds, State, and private funds (Please
see Appendix 1)
Administrative Agreement between the City and the RRHA
is necessary before the RRHA can perform and receive
payment for administrative activities regarding CDBG-
funded or assisted programs.
Members of City Council
Page 2
III. Issues:
A. Cost to the City
B. Funding
C. Administrative Capability
D. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
ae
Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached
Agreement with the RRHA for the administration and
implementation of various community development
activities.
Cost to the City for implementation and
administration of designated projects will be
$444,463 in CDBG funds. No other City funds will
be expended.
Funding is available in CDBG accounts listed in
Appendix 1.
Administrative capability to perform the services
specified is possessed by the RRHA. The RRRA is
experienced in and knowledgeable of the programs
specified, having performed similar responsibili-
ties in previous years.
Timing is important since previous contract expired
on June 30, 1992 and several programs are ongoing
and should be continued.
Do not authorize the execution of the attached Agreement
with the RRF~ for the administration of various
community development activities.
Cost to the City would depend on the cost of
performing the activities directly with existing
and additional City staff, or of contracting for
services from private agent~.
Funding for administration and projects would be
available in CDBG accounts shown in Appendix 1.
Administrative capability to perform the various
activities is available in some cases with existing
City staff. However, other capability would have
to be obtained by hiring additional CDBG-funded
staff and/or contracting with private agencies.
Members of City Council
Page 3
e
Some projects may be limited without the RRHA's
redevelopment and acquisition authority.
Timin~ would delay the implementation of many
program activities, until necessary staff could be
hired and trained or until other arrangements could
be made.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council concur in Alternative A
and authorize the City Manager to execute the attached
Agreement with the RRHA for the performance of various
community development activities.

W. Robert Herbert

LIMITED CRITICAL REPAIR PROGRAM
Critical Home Repair and Quick Response to Emergencies Components
1992 Program Guidelines
July, 1992
GENERAL
The Limited Critical Repair Program is a flexible subsidy program of grants
and/or loans. These subsidies are oriented toward housing units with badly
needed repairs occupied by low-moderate income residents, and are intended
to keep the units fundamentally liveable. The Program provides subsidies
for owner-occupied and rental units upon certain conditions. Depending
upon the income of the resident, whether the resident is the owner or a
tenant, and other circumstances, the subsidy may be a loan, a grant, or a
combination, and may require a matching contribution from the rental owner.
Eligible repairs will also depend on these and other factors.
The Limited Critical Repair Program is distinguished from other rehabilita-
tion subsidy programs by its purpose and extent of repairs intended. The
Program intends to stabilize the existing building's conditions, prevent or
delay further deterioration, improve its current health, safety and decency
standards, without necessarily answering all existing Building Maintenance
Code violations.
The Program is a combination of several individual components, specifically
Critical Home Repair, Quick Response to Emergencies, and Emergency Home
Repair. The combination of components is intended to allow administrative
flexibility and to provide a more complete and continuous form of
assistance to remedy or prevent unsafe or unhealthy structural living con-
ditions by low-moderate income citizens.
This document relates the guidelines specifically of the Critical Home
Repair and Quick Response to Emergencies components.
CRITICAL HOME REPAIR
GENERAL DESIGN
The Critical Home Repair Component will be administered by the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA).
Basic Eligibility -- Owner-occupants of homes in truly critical
need of significant, but moderate repairs to the extent that lack
of such repairs may make the house unliveable. Homes should not be
in such bad condition that the Program cannot make the house basi-
cally safe and healthy. _
Previous recipients of assistance under the Critical Home Repair
Program or the Gainsboro Grant Program will not be eligible again,
except in exceptional circumstances as determined by the RRHA's
Neighborhood Development Director.
Page 2
Form of Subsidy -- A qualifying homeowner may receive up to $8,000
in critically needed repairs, necessary to keep the home liveable.
In addition, upon the recommendation of the rehabilitation inspec-
tot and approval of the Neighborhood Development Director, exterior
painting or re-siding may be performed, the cost of which is not
counted toward the $$)000 maximum.
If the house would require more than $8~000 of repairs to remedy the
critical deficiencies) the owner will be allowed the opportunity to
finance the cost beyond the Program's $8)000 maximum. The owner may
use other programs of the City and Housing Authority for this pur-
pose. If the $8)000 will not stabilize the house, and if the owner
is unwilling or unable to commit additional resources to make the
house liveable, the house and the applicant will be dropped from
the Program.
For applicants with incomes below 50% of the area median family
income, the subsidy will be in the form of a grant, with no
repayment expected. It is expected that most recipients will be in
this income category.
For other eligible applicants, the subsidy will be in the form of a
loan secured only by a promissory note. The loan will be at 0%
interest, with repayment over a five-year period. The monthly
payments, however, are not to exceed 10% of the applicant's net
income. (Net income is defined as gross income less immediate
withholdings or deductions from the income for taxes, Social
Security, mandatory insurance, retirement, or dues, over which the
applicant has no control.) In a case in which monthly payments
over a five-year term would exceed 10% of the applicant's net
monthly income, the repayment term will be extended beyond five years.
Application and Selection -- A brief application period for both
the Critical Home Repair component and the Indoor Plumbing/
Rehabilitation Program will be scheduled and publicized by the
RRHA. The RRHA will receive applications during the time until a
total of 100 are received or the scheduled period expires,
whichever comes first. The RRHA will screen the applications to
eliminate ones for rental property, with reported income over 80%
of median income, or otherwise apparently ineligible. Applicants
ruled ineligible for either type of assistance will be so notified
promptly and referred to other programs, e.g. the Emergency Home
Repair component or the Private Rehabilitation Loan Program.
Applications clearing the initial screening will be distributed
among the RRHA's rehabilitation inspectors. The inspectors will
schedule an inspection of each house and evaluate the condition of
each using an objective scale of need. These applications will
then be prioritized on level of need as indicated by the scale
score.
Page 3
(Recipients of assistance under the Critical Home Repair component
will be selected from applicants not receiving approval for the
Indoor Plumbing/Rehabilitation Program of the Virginia Department
of Housing and Community Development (1)HCI)). Because that program
provides for a higher level of rehabilitation for approximately the
same type of homeowner, without cost to City funds, that program is
to be accessed to the maximum extent possible. Accordingly, after
prioritization of applications, further processing for repair under
the Critical Home Repair component will be suspended temporarily
until determinations are made regarding projects' status under the
Indoor Plumbing/Rehabilitation Program. At that time, based on the
success of accessing DHCD funds, the City in consultation with the
RRHA will determine whether to continue processing of remaining
applications, in priority order, for Critical Home Repair
assistance. For more informatio% see section of Contract for Ser-
vices regarding the Indoor Plumbing/Rehabilitation Program.)
If it is determined to continue processing for Critical Home
Repair, the RRHA will inform the next top-rated applicants that
they will receive a repair subsidy and for what repairs, whether it
will be a grant or a loan, and what conditions (e.g. self-help,
counseling classes, etc.) may apply.
The RRHA will verify homeownership and income and will perform a
detailed inspection and work write-up for each of the highest-
ranking applications. Other high ranking applicants will be
notified of their standing and the possibility of their eligibility
for later assistance. Lowest ranking applicants will be notified
promptly of their ineligibility and will be informed of other
options that may be available to assist with repairs.
The RRHA will obtain a credit report on each applicant due to
receive a loan, at the applicant's expense, to use to evaluate cre-
ditworthiness. The applicant also will furnish information to the RRHA
concerning amounts and sources of income and debt. In the interest
of expediency, the RRHA will not seek independent verifications of
this information, but will rely on the applicant's certification.
No loan for critical repairs will be made to an applicant who has
declared bankruptcy within the last two years, or has more than two
debts with credit ratings of 5 or worse, or has more than two
outstanding judgements, or whose debt to adjusted income ratio
(including the Program loan) is more than 50%.
When the RRHA determines that the applicant satisfies all criteria
for its Program loan, and all related information is collected
(rehabilitation cost bids, etc.), the applicant will execut~ a pro-
missory note for repayment of the Program loan on terms as provided
above. No rehabilitation work will be authorized until this note
is signed.
Page
In the event ol default on the loan from the RRH^, collection may
be pursued through established legal mechanisms, including judge-
ment awarded by a court, but will not extend to foreclosure on the
recipient's home.
Eligible Improvements -- The Critical Home Repair component will
finance repairs or installations critically needed to keep the
house habitable, or to render it habitable, principally:
a. Structural repairs;
b. Roofing and chimney repairs or replacement, including prudent
repair or replacement of gutters and downspouts;
c. Electrical system repair, replacement, or installation;
d. Plumbing system repair, replacement, or installation;
e. Heating system repair, replacement, or installation;
Exterior siding or porch repair or replacement, but only
if major health or safety hazards are present. (Exception:
If exterior painting or siding is undertaken, appropriate
repair work may be included.)
Conditions which are deteriorating and are likely to become criti-
cal within six months may be corrected under the Program.
Program benefits may be used to provide elements of the house not
previously existing but necessary to the basic habitability of the
house, such as indoor bathroom or septic system. In all cases,
Program benefits may pay only for those repairs, etc., without which
the property may be condemned or vacated.
Self-Help -- In most cases, an applicant receiving a grant or loan
will be expected to perform certain improvements or repairs to
his/her property as a condition to the award of Program funds.
Examples are:
a. Exterior painting and cosmetics;
b. Cleaning of yard;
c. Removal of junked vehicles;
d. Removal of improper open storage;
e. Demolition of dilapidated out-buildings;
f. Payment to a private contractor for the self-help home
repairs.
Page 5
These are intended to be tasks that would be of low cost to the
owner if performed by him (e.g., painting house) or even if per-
formed by others for pay (e.g., cleaning yard, demolishing dilapi-
dated out-buildings). The maximum impact is to be sought within
the reasonable physical and financial capabilities of the appli-
cant, in exchange for the benefits of the Program.
For the top-ranked applicants, the Inspector will encourage the
applicant to begin self-help activities immediately, since in some
cases the repairs covered by the grant will not be done until the
self-help is completed. Therefore, the sooner the applicant begins
and completes the self-help, the sooner the program-funded work can
be performed.
In negotiating the self-help contribution required of the owner-
occupant, the Rehabilitation Inspector will exercise discretion,
flexibility, and latitude. The self-help contribution required of
each owner-occupant must be reasonable and consistent with those
required of others in similar circumstances. In negotiating and
approving the self-help contribution each applicant is to
accomplish, the Inspector will consider the applicant's:
a. Physical abilities;
b. Financial condition;
c. Possibility of receiving help from other sources, including
family and neighborhood organizations, and;
d. Past conscientiousness in maintaining the home.
There may be situations in which it would be equitable not to
require any self-help contribution by the owner-occupant, con-
sidering the four criteria given.
In cases where the owner reasonably is unable to undertake painting
of the house, siding or exterior painting and associated minor
exterior repairs may be undertaken. Such improvements will be
made upon the authorization of the RRHA's Neighborhood Development
Director, and may be required as a condition of receiving the
Program subsidy e.g., in the case of a house of poor outside
appearance having a significant negative influence on the
surrounding area. The RRHA will use discretion and judgement in
allowing or requiring exterior improvements and the relation to
possible required self-help by the owners.
Self-help contribution by the applicant is to be accomplish_ed in a
timely fashion. When the self-help contribution is agreed upon,
the applicant will be expected to accomplish this work within the
time agreed or forfeit eligibility and the reservation of funds for
major repairs. In unusual circumstances, this time period may be
extended with on a case-to-case determination by the RRHA.
Page 6
In extreme cases, some critical repairs may be made concurrent with
or before the owner-occupant performs his responsibilities (e.g.,
replacin§ an inoperative furnace in the winter, with the remaining
repairs delayed until the app]icant paints and cleans in the
spring). In all cases, the Authority wim] ensure that the intent
of the Program is served.
A written agreement between the homeowner and the City of Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) will specify the self-
help input items and the date of completion. It shall further con-
tain the initial violation listing which will be the items to be
completed by the RRHA under the Program.
Counseling and Education -- In the interest of helping recipients
of assistance maintain their homes over a long term such that the
need for other repairs will be minimized, and to keep these houses
from deteriorating again into a critical state, each recipient for
assistance will be required to attend a course of instruction,
approved by the City's Housing Development Office, concerning basic
home repair and preventive maintenance, e.g., Community Home
Buyer's Program.
Before repairs are begun on any house approved for the Program, the
owner(s) will sign an agreement with the RRHA agreeing to par-
ticipate in the classes. To the extent possible, the class will
begin prior to rehab work beginning on the houses selected for the
year. However, development of the course will not delay provision
of the critically needed repairs.
QUICK RESPONSE TO EMERGENCIES COMPONENT
GENERAL DESIGN
The Quick Response to Emergencies Component will be administered by the
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA). The general intent
of this component is to provide emergency assistance to low-moderate
income homeowners encountering sudden emergency situations, requiring a
costly repair that would threaten the habitability of the house if not
addressed and for which the homeowner cannot wait several months for
the processing of. ab ia,an application.
1. Basic Ellgibili'ty =- Same as for the Critical Home Repair component.
2. Form of Subsidy -- Same as for the Critical Home Repair component.
Application and Selection -- There will be no open application
period for this component. Instead, low-moderate income homeowners
may apply to the RRHA at any time and be considered for assistance.
Page 7
The RRHA will receive requests for assistance under the Program. An
inspector will visit the home within g working hours, evaluate whether
an eligible emergency or other eligible need exists, determine what
work is necessary, and receive eligibility information, e.g. evidence
of income and homeownership. This information will be verified by the
quickest means possible, so as not to delay having the repairs made.
The RRHA will obtain a credit report on each applicant due to receive a
loan, at the applicant's expense, to use to evaluate creditworthiness.
The applicant will also furnish information to the RRHA concerning
amounts and sources of income and debt. In the interest of expedien-
cy, the RRHA will not seek independent verifications of this infor-
marion, but will rely on the applicant's certification.
No loan for emergency repairs will be made to an applicant who has
declared bankruptcy within the last two years, or has more than two
debts with credit ratings of 5 or worse, or has more than two
outstanding judgements, or whose debt to adjusted income ratio
(including the Program loan) is more than 50%.
When the RRHA determines that the applicant satisfies all criteria for
its Program loan, and all related information is collected
(rehabilitation cost bids, etc.), the applicant will execute a pro-
missory note for repayment of the Program loan on terms as provided
above. No rehabilitation work will be authorized until this note is
signed.
In the event of default on the loan from the RRHA, collection may be
pursued through established legal mechanisms, including judgement
awarded by a court, but will not extend to foreclosure on the reci-
pient's home.
Eligible Improvements -- This component may finance repair of con-
ditions having just arisen, as contrasted to conditions developing
over time. Generally these will be conditions that should be
repaired within 24-72 hours lest the house be vacated or suffer
serious damage. Examples include:
a. Overflowing or unworkable septic systems;
b. Broken pipes;
c. Inoperative heating systems;
d. Inoperative electric systems;
e. Inoperative water punps;
f. Significant fire damage not covered by insurance.
Page g
An exception to this rule is roof replacement, which is specifi-
cally included as an eligible quaJifying repair item, even though
the condition may not be suddenly occurring.
The cost of repairs may not exceed $8~000.
In some cases, the inspector may determine that the house is an
exceptionally attractive candidate for exterior painting or siding,
even though such improvements are not the primary intent of the
Quick Response component. In such cases, the inspector may recom-
mend to the RRHA Neighborhood Development Director that the house
be painted or sided. As with the Critical Home Repair component,
the cost of such exterior cosmetics will not be subject to the
$8~000 limit.
If the house would require more than $8~000 of repairs to remedy the
emergency deficiencies, the owner will be allowed the opportunity
to finance the cost beyond the Program's maximun subsidy, from some
other source, as long as such supplemental financing can be
arranged in a timely manner in keeping with the emergency. If the
subsidy will not stabilize the house, and if the owner is unwilling
or unable to commit additional resources to make the house
liveable, the house and the applicant will be dropped from
consideration.
Construction -- As soon as eligibility is verified, the RRHA
inspector will attempt to contact a minimum of three contractors
for bids on the required work, and for indication as to when the
work can be performed. Each of the three contractors need not bid,
but at least three should be invited to do so.
Because the primary concern is repair in the shortest time
possible, the iob will be awarded to the bidder able to perform
within the shortest time at a reasonable cost, compared to the
other bidders. In the absence of multiple bids, the inspector will
document the file as to the basis of the conclusion that the single
bid received is reasonable. Files will also be documented care-
fully to reflect the time of performance of the bids.
Counseling and Education -- Because of the need to make the fun-
damental repairs quickly, the owner will not be required to attend
training classes prior to the repairs, except in the case of
exterior painting or siding. However, the RRHA will strongly
encourage the owner to register for and attend a round of classes
regarding home maintenance and repair.
If the exterior is to be sided or painted in conjunction wi_th the
Program, then the owner must attend appropriate classes before the
exterior improvements are made.

ALLOCATION OF FUNDING
The Critical Home Repair Component ot the Limited Critical Repair Program
is funded in Fiscal Year 1992-93 at $100~000 in CDBG funds for subsidies.
The Quick Response to Emergencies Component is funded at $62~500 in CDBG
funds for subsidies.
These funding levels reflect the intention of the level of service to be
provided by the two operations. Nowever, the RRNA may transfer CDBG funds
between the two components, upon notice to the City's Housing Development
Office, in order to meet realized needs. In addition, the Housing
Development Office may have some additional funds that may be released for
use with one of the components, if need be.
IV. PROGRAM AMENDMENTS
These program guidelines may be modified by the City Manager, upon the
recommendation of the City staff and in consultation with and as agreed to
by the RRHA.
ATTAChmeNT B
OPERATION PAINTBRUSH
Program Guidelino~
I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Operation Paintbrush is a program of grants for painting the
exterior of homes and related minor repair up to a total of $4,000
per house. The Program is limited to low and moderate income owners
of homes referred by the Roanoke Neighborhood Partnership.
The general purpose of the Program is to make a strong visual
statement about the viability of the neighborhood by dramatically
improving a selected area through painting the exterior of homes. In
addition, the Program encourages neighborhood volunteerism by
involving neighborhood, civic and religious organizations, and local
businesses in house painting projects on weekends.
The Program is designed to improve the q~ality of life for
neighborhood residents participating in the program by painting their
houses and by making minor exterior repairs necessary for the
painting job.
II. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT~
A. The applicant must be an owner-occupant; and
B. The applicant must be within HUD Income Guidelines,
including from all sources; and
The applicant's home must be referred to the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) by the
Roanoke Neighborhood Partnership.
The applicant's home must be capable of being painted
with minor repairs, as necessary, at a cost not to
exceed $4r000. If the house is too large to be
painted for $4;000, it will be rejected from the
Program. (This provision may be waived under special
circumstances by the Director of Public Works).
III. APPLICATION AND SRT.FCTION '
The Roanoke Neighborhood Partnership staff will accept referrals
~rom selected neighborhood organizations to establish a list of
hOUSeS to De considered for Operation Paintbrush. (These
neighborhoods include: Gainsboro, Hurt Park, Melrose-Rugby, Mountain
View and Southeast). Prior to referring applicants to P.~HA, the
Neighborhood Partnership will screen the referrals to eliminate
requests for work on rental properties, persons with reported income
over the HUD Income Guidelines, or otherwise apparently ineligible.
ATTAcHMeNT B
The Neighborhood Partnership will contact the applicant and request
they fill out a full application.
RRHA will verify homeownership and income and will perform a
detailed inspection and work write-up for each of the applicants
referred. No previous recipient of assistance under the Operation
Paintbrush program will be eligible again, except in special
circumstances as determined by RRHA's Neighborhood Development
Director.
IV. CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING REQUIREMENTS
The Program will finance only exterior painting and minor
repairs, principally:
Scraping, priming (if necessary), and painting (colors
to be selected by the homeowner from a palette approved
by RRHA);
B. Caulking and glazing windows;
C. Repairs necessary for the safety of the homeowner to
include repairing or building new steps, replacing
broken windows, adding stair rails, repairing or
replacing porch floor boards, replacing or repairing
entrance doors, and replacing a limited number of
siding boards necessary to undertake the painting job.
Exterior repairs shall not exceed $500 in value..
No interior repairs or painting shall be performed by the crew. The
owner will sign a release at completion of work, indicating that the
job is complete and work was satisfactory.
v. FORM OF SUBSIDY
Painting and repair work subsidy will be in the form of a grant,
not to exceed $4,000 (including all costs). No repayment is
expected.
VI. SELF-HELP
In limited cases, an applicant may be referred to RRHA by the
Neighborhood Partnership as a self-help project. In this instance,
an estimate will be made by RRHA inspectors as to the amount of paint
required to paint the house. After the applicant is screened under
normal procedures by the RRHA, as to homeownership and income, the
paint will be purchased by P, RHA and delivered to the applicant.
Applicant will sign an agreement that the house will-be painted
within six (6) months of receipt of materials or the paint will be
returned. RRHA staff will confirm that painting has been completed.
ATTACHMENT C-
Rental Rehabilitanon Pro,ram--1991
i. BackKround
Roanoke is a city of approximately lO0,000 citizens housed in "~,,a00
d*'ellin§ units. Like most cities, Roanoke has had periods of rapid §rowth
and of stability. The' last ~0 years has been a time ot maturation for the
C~ty. '
Compared to the Roanoke metropolitan area, the Citv's housing stock is
relatively old, more likely to be rental property, and' more likely to be in
need of repair.
Almost two-thirds of all housing units in the City are more than 30 years old.
Approximately 28% are more than §0 years old. With age comes the need for
substantial repairs or renovations and more diligent preventive main-
tenance. Because of the expense, many owners have deferred taking these
measures, without which the houses have tended to deteriorate at an acce-
lerating pace. The too frequent result of this can be seen in the figures
for vacant housing units (about 3,3~0) and values of single-family houses
(~3% are valued at less than $~0,000.)
The City of Roanoke and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority
have administered a variety of neighborhood revitalization programs over
recent years. Most of these programs and the funds allocated to them have
been targeted toward the rehabilitation of owner-occupied houses in neigh-
borhoods designated as Conservation Areas or Rehabilitation Districts under
Virginia law. This concentration has begun to have a significant positive
effect in these neighborhoods.
Past and current programs for rehabilitation of rental property have
included Section 8/Moderate Rehabilitation, Substantial Rehabilitation/
Public Housing, the HUD Rental Rehabilitation Program, and the Multi-Family
Rehabilitation Loan Program of the Virginia Housing Partnership Fund.
These programs and activities have operated in established residential
neighborhoods.
However, several plans and reports prepared over the last few years for the
City have advocated that housing be developed in the downt
include t. he ~esi~:n '79 and Design '8~ downtow- a-..-, .... o~.n area. These
. . ,, ., u~,~up,nen: plans, tile
report ot the 198& Downtown Housing Task Force", the 198.~ Roanoke Vision
Comprehensive Development Plan, and the 1988 report of the ~
Development Strategic Plan Task Force".
A substantial part o! the reasoning for this consensuaJ recommendation is
the recognition that approximately ig,000 people work in the downtown area,
many of whom are o! low-moderate income. This includes retail personnel,
clerks, secretaries, and entry-level office workers o~ all types, munici-
pal, state and federal employees, maintenance workers, waiters and
waitresses, etc. Having housing close to their places of employment would
help some of these workers, without the expense of a car, as "Downtown
housing provides a Convenience to people in terms of walking to work,
church, shopping, and hospital care that no other location in the Roanoke
Roanoke Valley provides.,, (Downtown Housing Task Force report, p. 8)
Rental Rehabilitation- 1991
Page 2
In addition, housing downtown is expected to have significant spin-off
effects, specifically to "increase the vitality and attractiveness of
downtown as a cultural, entertainment and retail center." (Roanoke
Vision, p. t~6)
The Rental Rehabilitation Program described herein is designed to attract
and subsidize private investment for the conversion to apartments of upper
levels of existing commercial buildings in the downtown Roanoke area, on
terms that will allow the units to be affordable to low-moderate income
tenants.
II. Program Design
A. Form of Rehabilitation Subsidy
The City's Rental Rehabilitation Program will supplement private funding to
assist an owner of qualifying property to rehabilitate portions of a
building for residential use, while receiving a fair return on investment.
Financing by the Program will be flexible and will depend on the charac-
teristics of the individual project, lhe most liberal terms considered
will be:
1. Program funding will take no less than fourth mortgage position, if
other aspects of the financing provide adequate security
2. Final debt including Program funding and all superior mortgages
not exceed 100% of after-rehabilitation value
3. Program funding may amount to no more than 50% of rehabilitation
cost, and may not exceed:
$6500 for a one-bedroom unit,
$7500 for a two-bedroom unit,
$8500 for a three-bedroom unit or larger
#. Project must project at least break-even cash flow
5. Program funds will be loaned and secured by a deed of trust, but
interest may be as low as 0%
6. Repayable loan payments may be deferred for as long as 10 years,
with a balloon payment due then.
7. In exceptional cases, loans may be forgiveable.
~Vithin these contraints, the City will consider the economics of each project
and will negotiate financing terms to assist the project while allowing a
reasonable return to the owner on his equity. Depending on the circumstances,
terms of Program funding may relate to interest rate, principal amount,
amortization term, proportion of total development cost or rehabilitation
cost, loan-to-value ratio, return on equity, etc.
The City's purpose in the Program is to help make the pro formas_attractive
enough to encourage developments and to reinforce the likely success of
projects in a new, untested market. Beyond that goal, however, the priori-
ties of the City in determining the financing terms to be offered will
include repayment of principal (security of loan), number of projects
that may be assisted (amount of subsidy), rapidity of funds revolving back
to the City (amortization terms), and return on investment (interest rate).
Rental 'Rehabilitation- i99l
Page 3
Matching Funds
Funds to finance the portion of rehabilitation not covered by Program funds
may come from any source. However, it is expected that the bulk will come
from conventional len(~ers interested in development of housin§ downtown.
Downtown Roanoke, [nc. is facilitating financing for this purpose and
expects arrangements to be in place by the Fall of 1991.
C. General Conditions of Eligibility
Each unit subsidized must be located in the downtown area
designated as eligible.
Each unit subsidized under the Program must be substandard
according to either Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQ5) or
the City's Building Code.
Each unit subsidized under the Program must be renovated to at
least Section 8 HQS and be certified by the City Building
Department to be safe to occupy according to the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code (USBC).
Each unit must be maintained at least to Section g HQS and USBC
standards for the term of the financing.
No unit rehabilitated under the Program may be converted to a
condominium or cooperative for the term of the financing.
6. There may be no discrimination against a prospective tenant
specifically because of receipt of or eligibility for housing
assistance, or because of residence with a minor child, for the
term of the financing.
7. Each property owner will agree to comply with applicable require-
ments for nondiscrimination and "affirmative marketing" of units
rehabilitated under the Program for seven years after completion.
Guidelines and procedures for property-owners have been developed
jointly by the City and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority, to insure that each owner is aware of his/her
obligations in this regard. (See attachments to this Program
Description. )
D. Area of Eligibility
The downtown area eligible for inclusion in this phase of the Rental
Rehabilitation Program is bounded generally by [-~sgl on the east, Day
Avenue on the south~ ~th Street SW on the west and the railroad tracks on
the north (map attached). This area includes almost all of the Downtown
Service District and most of Census Tract 11. This area mee~s
criteria established by Federal Program regulations, as follows:
Rental' Rehabilitation- 199 !
Page t~
I. Median income not exceedin~ 80% of median income for the Roanoke
area. According to the 1980 Census, the median household in~-mome
in the Roanoke SMA was $16,119, of which 80% was $12,895. The
median income for the City of Roanoke was $13,272. The median
income of th& residents in Census Tract Il, of which the target area
is the bulk, was only $7,366, which in fact was only (*6% of the
area median, and 56% of the City median. Seventy-three per cent
(73%) of the households had annual incomes below SI0,000, compared
to a City-wide rate of 3gR. [n addition, the average salary of
clerical workers downtown is estimated to be approximately $15,500.
Considering the skewing effect of several large, relatively high-
paying employers, e.g. Norfolk Southern, APCo, C & P Telephone, it
is apparent there are many downtown workers who meet the definition
of low-moderate income. Clearly the target area and its immediate
vicinity is a low-income pocket of residents and workers.
2. Rents affordable to lower income families. The 1980 Census reports
that Census Tract II had a median gross contract rent of $137~
compared to the City-wide median of $150. Little reliable informa-
tion is available at this time concerning rents now received on the
few housing units within the target area, but it is expected that
new units produced under the Program will likely rent in the
S32§-$A~00 range, which is within current Fair Market Rents for one-
and two-bedroom units. A St~00 per month rent would amount to 23% of
the monthly income of a family of three at only 50% of the area median
income income of $17,350.
3. Expected rent stability. The downtown market is largely untested,
with the units produced to be in competition with the surrounding
residential neighborhoods. Those areas have large inventories of
relatively low-cost rental units. Therefore it is expected that
owners of the units to be produced under the Program will price
their units to be attractive and competitive in the market. Market
rental rates for standard quality units are expected to ramain
generally stable and affordable for at Least the next 5 years.
Selection Criteria
Generally it is expected that applications from the eligible area which
meet the basic general conditions may be processed on a "first-come
first-served" basis.
However, in the event more applications are received than funding is
available, they will be selected competitively based on a number of
considerations. The 100-point evaluation scale, outlined below, will
give priority to projects involving lower income or very low tenants,
larger apartments, efficient lev,raging of other funds, strong
financial projections, and handicapped accessibility.

In some cases, the scoring of some factors will have to be "prorated.,,
For example, a duplex with one two-bedroom unit and one single bedroom
unit would be rated 5 in the Size of units category.
In addition, as the Prbgram proposals are received and evaluated, it may be
necessary to deviate somewhat from this Criteria in order to meet federal
Program requirements, e.g. 70~ of units to be 2-bedroom or larger.
The Program design and use of the Evaluation Scale address several of the
mandates of the Program, as follows:
Lower income benefit: The Current Occupancy factor gives priority
to units occupied by iow and very low income tenants, or vacant units
into which lower income tenants might locate after rehabilitation.
In addition, owners making proposals for the Program will be told that
units are expected to be rented to low income tenants upon completion.
However, there is very limited experience with rental units in
this downtown area. g/bile it is expected that there will be ample
prospective tenants of low-moderate income from the downtown employment
base, it may be that some units proposed for rehabilitation will in
fact be occupied by tenants not meeting the definition of low-moderate
income at the time of application and rehabilitation. To provide a
reasonable margin for error, the City requests reduction of the 100%
lower income benefit standard of 70%. This is consistent with the
terms of previous rounds of the Rental Rehabilitation Program, which
were administered after consulting with various public groups. The
principal association of downtown interests (Downtown Roanoke, Inc.)
supports this reduction to 70% to allow for unforeseen contingencies.
_Housing for families: The Size of Unit(s) factor gives heavy priority
to projects with two, three, or more bedrooms. This item too will be
monitored as applications are processed, to insure that at least 70%
of rehabilitation funds are used for units of 2 or more bedrooms.
If it is found that smaller units are more appropriate for rehabilita-
tion given the demand in this area and the characteristics of the
supply of buildings, the City may ask HUD to relax this standard.
Substandard units occupied by very low-income families: AIl units
receiving assistance under the Program must be substandard. Those
currently occupied by families of very low income are afforded greater
weight by the Evaluation Scale (see "Lower income benefit" above in
this section).
Efficient use of Program fundst The Program design is expected to
leverage approximately two dollars of non-HUD funds for rehabilitation
for every dollar of HUD Rental Rehabilitation subsidy. In addition,
HUD Program funds probably will revolve back to the City over 10
years, for reuse for rehabilitation of rental property or other
eligible purposes. The terms and flexibility of the financing ~ackage
expected to be offered will be attractive to investor owners.
Rentai Rehabilitation-1991
P'age 7
Financial feasibility: Each part of the rehabilitation financing
package provided by the Program will be secured by a deed of trust
on the property. The total of all indebtedness against the property
may not exceed 100% of the appraised after-rahab value. All approved
projects must also' show a positive cash flow with a margin for main-
tenance, vacancy loss and contingencies. Priority will be given to
properties with lower loan-to-value ratios and more comfortable cash
flow margins, thereby showing stronger financial feasibility and
greater incentive to the property owner to adhere to the terms of the
Program (e.g. maintenance of the property to Section g standards).
Each applicant will be counseled that the Program design is such that
the feasibility of the rehabilitation must be based on market, unsub-
sJdized rents, and that if projected cash flow is not sufficient
without subsidized rents, the rehabilitation may not be feasible.
III. Administrative Organization and Procedures:
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be administered by the City, prin-
cipally through the Housing Development Office, and the Roanoke
Redevelopment & Housing Authority, in cooperation with Downtown Roanoke,
Inc.
.Program Publicit¥~ Marketing~ and Outreach: Information about the
Program will be provided by the Housing Development Office, with
assistance from Downtown Roanoke, Inc. and the RRHA. An initial
application period will be scheduled.
.Receipt and Initial Screening o! Applications. Loan applications
received from interested owners will contain basic information about
the proposal, such as the location, number and size of units to be
rehabilitated, general description and estimation of cost of repairs,
current indebtedness that will remain on the property, projected rental
income and expenses, characteristics of current occupants, etc. Each
application received will be reviewed immediately to determine
completeness and basic eligibility.
Prioritization: If a surplus of applications is received such that the
Evaluation Scale must be applied to select projects by priority, the
Housing Development Office and RRHA will do so at this point to
determine which proposals appear to be best suited to the intent and
requirements of the Program.
Tentative Commitment: After consultation with the Housing Development
Office and Downtown Roanoke, Inc., the RRHA will notify the applicant
of the tentative acceptance of the proposal, contingent on verifica-
tions of information presented in the application. The RRHA inspector
will conduct a rehabilitation inspection of the building and examine
the work write-up and cost estimates included with the l~an-
application, to verify that the work proposed is eligible, appropriate,
and sufficient to correct Code violations cited and to bring the
property to HQS, and that the estimate of costs or contractor's bid is
reasonable.
Rental' Rehabilitation- 1991
Page 8
IV.
Negotiations: It is expected that all applicants for the Program will
be seeking financing from funds arranged by Downtown Roanoke, Inc. from
private lenders. The applicant will be required to provide information
regarding income, debt, credit, etc. which is provided to the lender(s)
for their processing. Based on this information, the Housing
Development Office and the RRHA may negotiate financing terms with the
applicant to insure that maximum benefit is gained from Program funds.
Verifications: Based on the information contained in the application
that is deemed reasonable, and supplementary information furnished by
the applicant, the RRHA will issue a tentative commitment for Program
funding, conditional upon verifications of information and arrangement
for other financing. It is expected that verifications obtained by the
private lender(s) will suffice for these purposes, and the applicant
will be asked to furnish them to the RRHA.
Loan Closing: Upon documentation by the applicant that private
financing has been committed, the RRHA will coordinate with the lender
to close simultaneously the Program funding with the private financing.
Rehabilitation and Disbursement: Arrangement for rehabilitation work
to be performed primarily will be the responsibility of the applicant
property owner. Periodic in-progress inspections will be made by the
rehabilitation inspector, relative to compliance with the work write-up
and workmanship standards, and by City building inspector(s), to assure
compliance with Building Code requirements.
Because Program funds will be subordinated to other financing' and are
drawn down from HUD as construction draws are needed, Program funds
will not be escrowed and will only be disbursed after all superior
financing has been disbursed. In most cases, Program funds will only
be paid out upon completion of the project.
Post-Rehabilitation Monitoring.. Property owners will be asked to
submit periodic reports of the status of each project, especially
concerning rents and tenants. Blank report forms will be sent by the
RRHA to the owner for completion and return, in addition, on at least
an annual basis, an inspector from the RRHA will perform an on-site
inspection to verify that each unit is maintained in accordance
with the terms of the financing package.

with representatives of business and resident organizations, public
and private non-profit agencies concerned with housing issues, and
organizations of rental property Owners~ as well as many individuals.
This Program design reflects concerns, attitudes, and expectations
expressed from these quarters. Also as a result of these public
.consultations, the City requests continued reduction of the lower
income benefit Standard to 70%, in order to avoid displacement ot
tenants in otherwise high priority projects, to provide for unexpected
contingencies that cannot be foreseen in the rental property market
of the target area, and to allow for unexpectedly high leveraging ratios,
resulting in more units being rehabilitated.
Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity:
The RRHA will provide detailed guidelines to applicant owners
describing their obligations for fair housing
include procedures to notify the RRHA and practices. These may
· other community or service
agencies of vacancies, posting of Equal Housing Opportunity logotype
on premises, public advertisement of
ments will be conditions of the deed vacancies, etc. These require-
of trust for the loan fr~ HUD
funds. Evidence of compliance will be examined by the City Office of
Grants Compliance at least annually. Violation of Iair housing and
nondiscrimination provisions will be grounds for requiring immediate
payment of the Rental Rehabilitation loan as specilied in the deed of
trust.

Tenant Assistance Policy:
All reasonable efforts '~ill be made to avoid involuntary displacement
of current tenants due to rent increases, especially current tenants of
lower income. Tenants a/ho would have to pay more than 30% ot their
adjusted income for rent after rehab will be referred to the Redevelopment
and Housing Authority for possible rental assistance. Tenants who
~/ould have to pay more than .5096 of their income will receive high
priority from the RRHA for Public Housing or Section g rental
assistance, in no case will a very low income family be displaced
involuntarily by a tenant not of very low income, Any current low-
income tenant who is eligible for Section 8 or Housing Voucher
assistance will be given preference for such assistance to stay in
the renovated unit or to find adequate housing elsewhere.
Each tenant in a unit to be rehabilitated under the Program will be
notified of the impending rehabilitation and the effect on him/her.
Any tenants in jeopardy of being displaced will be referred to the
RRHA for counseling and assistance, including descriptions of alter-
native housing opportunities, ways to search for suitable alternative
arrangements, and tenant rights under the Federal Fair Housing law.
Direct referrals to other apartments also may be made. No tenant
offered decent, safe, and sanitary housing at an affordable rent (as
defined in 2t~ CFR §ll.10(h)(l) will be considered to be displaced.
Compliance with Applicable Regulations:
Administration ot the Rental Rehabilitation Program will comply with
all applicable federal regulations and requirements, including but not
limited to those concerning nondiscrimination and equal opportunity, as
identified in 24 CFR ~ll.10(m).
F. Neighborhood Preservation:
Operation of the Program in the downtown area is expected to dramati-
cally enhance the viability of this area as a residential community, an
element not currently present to any significant degree. In addition,
the presence of residents will support continued commercial and
cultural vitality in the area. This in turn will reinforce the attrac-
tiveness ot residential neighborhoods surrounding the downtown target
area.
RENTAL REHABIL[TATION PROGRAM
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND NONDISCRIMINATION POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
General Policy: It is the Policy of the City of Roanoke and the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing' Authority to administer the Rental Rehabilitation
Program so that individuals of similar income have similar available housing
choices, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap,
familial status, presence of minor child, or receipt of or eligibility for
housing assistance. Each property owner applying for participation in the
Rental Rehabilitation Program shall agree to avoid any discrimination on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, familial status,
presence of minor child, or receipt of or eligibility for housing assistance,
and shall agree to market their vacant rental units in good faith to inform and
attract eligible tenants from all racial, ethnic, and gender groups.
A. The RRHA shall give a copy of these Policies and Guidelines to the
following:
1. Applicant property owners.
2. Current tenants of housing to be rehabilitated under the Program.
3. Social service agencies, including Total Action Against Poverty
(TAP), League of Older Americans (LOA), Legal Aid Society, and
Roanoke Neighborhood Alliance.
4. General public, upon request.
In addition, all advertisements, press releases, information packages,
application forms, and written communications prepared by the City or the
RRHA relative to the Rental Rehabilitation Program shall include the Equal
Housing Opportunity logo or statement.
If the participating property owner wishes, the RRHA may refer holders
of Section 8 certificates or housing vouchers to the rehabilitated pro-
perty for possible occupancy. As provided in 24 CFR 511.10(m)(2), to
the extent rent-subsidized tenants occupy Rental Rehabilitation
units, other affirmative marketing procedures will not be required
of the property owner. For any occupancy other than by tenants
holding rental subsidy authorizations, the property owner must
follow the procedures established in Section C (infra).
Other than as allowed in Section B (supra), each participating property
owner shall seek to attract tenants regardless of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, handicap, familial status, presence of minor
child, or eligibility for housing assistance, especially those unl.ikely
to apply without special outreach, to units vacant after rehabilitation
or that later become vacant. These marketing efforts shall include, at
a minimum, the following: -
Page 2'
Notification to the RRHA, TAP, and Downtown Roanoke, inc. of any
any and all vacancies. The RRHA may notify people on the Section
8, Housing Voucher, and public housing waiting lists of the
vacancy.
Posting of E(jua[ Housing Opportunity poster, provided by the RRHA,
on vacant premises and rental offices, if existing.
If qualified prospective tenants are not otherwise available, the
owner shall advertise any and all vacancies in the Roanoke Times
and ~I/orld News and the Roanoke Tribune, such advertisement to
include the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or statement. Such
advertisements will specify that vacant units are available for,
but not limited to, Section g tenants.
Documentation: Each participating property owner shall document affir-
mative marketing, such records to include the following:
Copies of all advertisements, notices, and other outreach for all
vacancies.
2. A log of all contacts with potential tenants, including race, sex,
approximate age, and reasons for not accepting as tenants.
3. Quarterly reports to the RRHA, in a format provided by the RRHA,
regarding the ocgupancy of all assisted units and marketing
activities for any vacancies.
The RRHA shall keep records including the following:
!. A log of vacancies reported by owners.
2. Copies or other evidence of notices regarding the Program and
vacancies sent to agencies and/or organizations by the RRHA.
3. Copies of advertisements placed by owners.
Records of characteristics of tenants occupying units, including
race, sex, and approximate age.
Assessment: The RRHA shall use the quarterly reports filed by property
owners to verify compliance with affirmative marketing and Equal
Housing Opportunity requirements. [n addition, the RRHA may make other
periodic inspections of the property owner's records concerning tenants
and marketing activities, or ask for other information about the same.
Violations: Failure to comply with Equal Opportunity, Nondiscrimina-
tion, or Affirmative Marketing requirements will result in a written
notice from the RRHA to the property owner that specific provisions of
the Deed of Trust between the two parties have been violatecl, defining
what corrective actions, if any, are to be taken, and advising that
further violations or failure to take the prescribed actions may
require repayment of the Deferred Payment Loan and/or other financing
provided.

Rental Rehabilitation Program - 1992-93
Background
Almost three-fourths of the 4~,#00 housin§ units in the City of Roanoke
are more than 25 years old, A]most half are more than 40 years old, With
age comes the need for substantial repairs or renovations and di]igent
preventive maintenance, Because of the expense, many owners have deferred
taking these measures, without which the houses have tended to deteriorate at
an accelerating pace, The too frequent result of this can be seen in the
figures for vacant housing units (about 3,350) and relatively low values
of many residential buildings,
A large proportion of the City's housing stock is rental property (47.6%),
especially in older neighborhoods. These rental units address a huge part
of the housing demand and needs in the City, especially for citizens of
modest incomes. This property comprises a vital part of the housing
stock. However, a sizable percentage of these properties are in fair to
poor condition. The incentive for private investments to be made in
owner-occupied homes in these neighborhoods is weakened by nearby rental
units in disrepair. It is obvious that the upgrading of deteriorated
vacant and rental property must be a critical element of overall neigh-
borhood revitalization, as well as reinforcing the supply of decent afford-
able housing for our citizens.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program described herein is designed to attract
private investment while maintaining flexibility in an area's housing
market, by the direct rehabilitation of 20-45 rental housing units
occupied by [ower income families, indirectly, the improvement of these
units will encourage maintenance and repair to other rental and owner-
occupied buildings nearby.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program is intended to build on the history of
previous versions of the Program and the Neighborhood Stabilization and
Enhancement Program (NSEPtion), which were funded with federal Rental
Rehabilitation Program funds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds, and allocations from the Virginia Housing Development Authority
(VHDA) and the Virginia Housing Partnership Fund (VHPF). These earlier
activities concentrated funding assistance in specific high-concentration
areas, in support of code enforcement efforts, as well as scattering reha-
bilitation over larger parts of the City with housing deterioration.
In Fiscal Year 1992-93, the Rental Rehabilitation Program will be funded
from allocations of federal HOME funds. It is expected that approximately
$200~000 of HOME funds will be used throughout Conservation Areas,
Rehabilitation Districts, and other designated areas.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will only support the rehabilitation of
existing multi-family buildings for rental use. It is against the general
policy and priorities of the City to encourage rental of single-family
houses and the conversion of existing single-family buildings to multi-
family use.
~age 2
II.
The Program will allow property-owners three funding options, providing
flexibility to assist different situations. The general preference will
be to provide for substantial rehabilitation, especially of vacant unpro-
ductive buildings; to provide relatively small amounts of funding for
individual projects and encourage leveraging of additional funds from
other sources, and to provide for repayment of Program funds for
eventual reuse.
Program Design
A. Form of Rehabilitation Subsidy
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will offer three forms of rehabili-
tation subsidy, from which an applicant may choose. In no case may
the HOME Program subsidy total more than $15~000 per unit.
Grant equal to one-third of the rehabilitation expense. The owner
will be required to provide the other two-thirds from other
sources.
Loan equal to one-half of the rehabilitation expense, bearing 0%
interest rate, and with all payments deferred for 5 ),ears. At the
end of 5 years, the original amount of loan will be due and
payable. The owner will be required to provide the other one-half
from other sources.
Loan for the full amount of the rehabilitation (up to $15~000 per
unit) 0 6_~_~ interest, amortizing on a D-year term, but with a
balloon payment due after 5 years.
It is expected that this array of options may be applied to a variety
of different situations, including for existing owners of property
with no current debt, property with existing mortgages, and new buyers
of vacant buildings. The strong preference of the City will be for
the first or second option presented above, due to the ease of admi-
nistration, leveraging of outside funds, and suitability for substan-
tial rehabilitation. The third option is included as a contingency
for those desirable situations in which the owner cannot obtain out-
side financing for a portion of the repair work, due to existing debt
or other reasons.
B. General Conditions
1. Each unit subsidized must be located in an area designated as eli-
gible for the Program.
2. Each unit subsidized under the Program must be substandard
according to Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQ5).
Page 3
5.
6.
7.
Each unit subsidized under the Program must be renovated to at
lease Section 8 HQS and qualify for a Certificate of Occupancy
from the City Building Department. As part of the rehabilitation,
improvement of the exterior appearance of the building will be
considered a priority.
Any unit rehabilitated under the Program must receive work costing
at least $6~000.
No unit rehabilitated under the Program may receive more than
$15~000 of HOME funds.
Each unit must be maintained at least to Section 8 HQS and
Certificate of Occupancy standards for five years.
There may be no discrimination against a prospective tenant
because of receipt of a eligibility for housing assistance, or
because of residence with a minor child, for five years.
Each property owner will agree to comply with applicable require-
ments for nondiscrimination and "affirmative marketing" of units
rehabilitated under the Program for five years. Guidelines and
procedures for property owners will be developed jointly by the
City and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority, to
insure that each owner is aware of his/her obligations in this
regard.
Each property owner must agree to abide by occupancy and rent
limitations of the federal HOME Program, as supplemented by local
Program requirements, for five years, including:
-No HOME-assisted unit may be rented to a tenant with income
exceeding 60% of the area median income at the time of occupancy.
-No HOME-assisted unit may be rented at more than 30% of the
income of a household at 65% of the area median income, including
utilities, specifically:
$353 for a l-bedroom unit
$#16 for a 2-bedroom unit
$520 for a 3-bedroom unit
-At least 2096 of the HOME-assisted units must be rented to tenants
with income no more than 50% of the area median income at the
time of the tenant's occupancy.
-These units must rent for no more than 30% of the income of a
household at 5096 of the area median income, including utilities~
specifically:
$3ql for a l-bedroom unit
Sqll for a 2-bedroom unit
$#67 for a 3-bedroom unit
Page
-If a tenant's income increases to exceed $0% of the area median
income during his/her lease period, the owner must increase the
rent (including utilities to at least 30% of the tenant's
adiusted income.
C. Areas of Eligibility
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be offered in the areas shown
on the attached map, including the following neighborhoods;
Gainsboro Conservation Area
Gilmer Avenue Conservation Area
Harrison Avenue Conservation Area
Hurt Park Conservation Area
Belmont Conservation Area
Highland Park Conservation Area
Loudon Avenue Rehabilitation District
Melrose Rehabilitation District
Fallon Park Rehabilitation District
Morningside Rehabilitation District
Kenwood Rehabilitation District
Washington Park Neighborhood
In general, each of these neighborhoods has a significant degree of
housing deterioration, especially of rental property. The Rental
Rehabilitation Program is expected to make a valuable contribution to the
revitalization of these older neighborhoods.
D. Selection Criteria
Program applicants satisfying the basic general conditions listed
earlier will be selected competitively based on a number of con-
siderations. The 100-point evaluation scale, outlined below, will
give priority to projects leveraging other funds, receiving substan-
tial rehabilitation, and currently under code enforcement orders.

In some cases, the scoring of some factors will have to be "prorated".
For example, a triplex with two units occupied without code enforce-
ment orders and one unit vacant and condemned would be rated 5 in
the Occupancy category.
Page 6
This scale will be applied to those applications received during the
initial application period and is based on the expectation that more
applications will be received than can be funded. It this proves not
to be the case, the application period will be reopened and proposals
processed as received, until funding is depleted.
All assistance provided by the Program will be secured by a deed of
trust on the property. The total of all indebtedness against the pro-
perty, including any grants or deferred payment loans from the
Program, may not exceed 98 percent of the appraised value. Priority
will be given to properties with lower loan-to-value ratios, thereby
showing stronger financial feasibility and greater incentive to the
property owner to abide by the terms of the deed of trust (e.g. main-
tenance of the property to Section 8 standards).
Each applicant will be counseled that the Program design is such that
the feasibility of the rehabilitation must be based on market, unsub-
sidized rents, and that if projected cash flow is not sufficient
without subsidized rents, the rehabilitation may not be feasible.
Informational sessions with the private financial community will be
held as needed to explain the Program and to encourage them to par-
ticipate in the Program by making loans to property-owners in conjunc-
tion with Program funds.
III. Administrative Organization and Procedures
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will be administered jointly by the City
and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA). A program
management team will be formed to include at least the following:
3im Bean, Neighborhood Development Director
Roanoke Redevelopment & Housing Authority
Dan Pollock, Housing Development Coordinator
City of Roanoke
Rehabilitation Inspector
Roanoke Redevelopment & Housing Authority
The program management team will be responsible for general program admi-
nistration and assignment of specific tasks, including:
Program Publicity~ Marketing, and Outreach: The principal point of
contact for Program information will be the RRHA.
Receipt and Initial Screening of Preliminary Proposals: Preliminary
proposals will contain basic information about the project, such as
location, number and size of units to be rehabilitated, general
description and rough estimation of cost of repairs~ expected source
of private financing, characteristics of current occupants, etc.
These basic proposals will be submitted to RRHA, who will also
review each upon its receipt to determine completeness and basic
eligibility.
Page 7
Prioritization and Selection: Based on the preliminary proposals,
the program management team will apply the Evaluation Scale to
determine which proposals appear to be best suited to the intent of
the Program. Those receiving the highest rankings will be asked to
refine the application packages, providing more detail about pro-
posed projects, including detailed work write-ups and estimates by
the applicant's contractors.
Those revised and refined applications will be approved by the team
and will be issued funding commitments subject to obtaining private
financing~ if appropriate, or other contingencies.
Project Set-Up and Fund Disbursement: The RRHA will coordinate clo-
sely with the City Housing Development Office and Finance Department
to arrange for project set-up from HUD's HOME funds accounts, and to
make required construction draws from the HUD system. The RRHA will
be authorized to set up projects in the system, but because all HOME
funds will come through the City, it will be necessary for the RRHA
to notify City Finance Department when a disbursement from a project
account is needed.
Rehabilitation: Arrangement for rehabilitation work to be performed
will primarily be the responsibility of the applicant property
owner. Periodic in-progress inspections will be held by the rehabi-
litation inspector, relative to compliance with the work write-up
and workmanship standards, and by City building inspector(s), to
assure compliance with code requirements. Final inspections will be
performed to verify compliance with Section 8 Housing Quality
Standards and to confirm Certificate of Occupancy quality.
Post-Rehabilitation Monitoring: Property owners will be asked to
submit brief periodic reports to the RRHA concerning the status of
each project, especially concerning rents and tenants. Blank report
forms will be sent by the RRHA to the owner for completion and
return. In addition, on at least an annual basis, a Section 8 hous-
ing inspector, rehabilitation inspector, or City building inspector
will perform an on-site inspection to verify that each unit is main-
tained in accordance with the terms of the deed of trust. The RRHA
will be responsible for monitoring occupancy and rent of each pro-
ject to verify its compliance with federal HOME regulations.
The tentative timetable for the Program is as follows:
Receive preliminary proposals by late September 1992
Screen and evaluate proposals
by mid October
Refine proposals; issue commitments
by early November
Private financing arranged
by early December
Hold first loan closings~ project
funds encumbered
by mid December
Begin first rehabilitation 3anuary 1993
Rental RehabiLitation Program
Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination Policies and Guidelines
General Policy: It is the Policy of the City of Roanoke and the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) to administer the Rental
Rehabilitation Program so that individuals of similar income have similar
available housing choices, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, or handicap. Each property owner applying for participation in the
Rental Rehabilitation Program shall agree to avoid any discrimination on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or handicap, and shall
agree to market their vacant rental units in good faith to inform and attract
eligible tenants from all racial, ethnic, and gender groups.
A. The RRHA shall give a copy of these Policies and Guidelines to the
following:
1. Applicant property owners;
2. Current tenants and tenants applying to the RRHA for housing
rehabilitated under the Program;
Social service agencies, including Total Action Against
Poverty (TAP), League of Older Americans (LOA), Legal Aid
Society, and Roanoke Neighborhood Alliance;
Resident organizations of affected/eligible neighborhoods)
5. General public, upon request.
In addition, all advertisements, press releases, information packages,
application forms, and written communications preparted by the RRHA
relative to the Rental Rehabilitation Program shall include the Equal
Housing Opportunity logo or statement.
Each participating property owner shall seek to attract tenants
regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or han-
dicap, of all minority and majority groups, especially those unlikely
to apply without special outreach, to units vacant after rehabilita-
tion or that later become vacant. Unless excepted under Section C below,
these marketing efforts shall include, at a minimum~ the following:
Advertisement of any and all vacancies in the Roanoke Times and
World News and the Roanoke Tribune, such advertisement to include
the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or statement. Such adver-
tisements will specify that vacant units are available for, but
not limited to, Section 8 tenants.
Notification to the RRHA and TAP of any and all vacancies. This
notice will be forwarded by the RRH^ to other service agencies and
organizations.
3. Posting of Equal Housing Opportunity poster, provided by the RRHA,
on vacant premises and rental offices, if existing.
A participating owner of a property of no more than # units may be
excused from any or all of the affirmative marketing requirements
outlined in paragraph B above, at the option of the RRHA.
Documentation: Unless excepted under Section C above, each par-
ticipating property owner shall document affirmative marketing, such
records to include the following:
I. Copies of all advertisements, notices, and other outreach for all
vacancies;
2. A Jog of all contacts with potential tenants, including race,
sex, approximate age, and reasons for not accepting as tenants;
Periodic reports to the RRHA, in a format provided by the RRHA,
regarding the occupancy of all assisted units and marketing activities
for any vacancies.
The RRHA shall keep records including the following:
1. A log of vacancies reported by owners;
2. Copies or other evidence of notices regarding the Program and
vacancies sent to agencies and/or organizations by the RRHA;
3. A log of referrals made to vacant units, including race, sex, and
approximate age;
4. Copies of advertisements placed by owners;
5. Records of characteristics of tenants occupying units, including
race, sex, and approximate age.
Assessment: The RRH^ shall use the periodic reports filed by property
owners to verify compliance with affirmative marketing and Equal
Housing Opportunity requirements. In addition, the RRHA and/or the
City may make other periodic inspections of the property owner's
records concerning tenants and marketing activities, or ask for other
information.
Violations: Failure to comply with Equal Opprotunity, Nondiscrimination,
or Affirmative Marketing requirements wilt result in a written notice
from the RRHA to the property owner that specific provisions of the Deed
of Trust between the two parties have been violated, defining what
corrective actions, if any, are to be taken, and advising that further
violations or failure to take the prescribed actions may require
repayment of the assistance received from the Rental Rehabilitation
Program.

Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement Program
Background
Almost three-fourths of the ##,#00 housing units in the City of Roanoke
are more than 25 years old. Almost half are more than 40 years old. VVith
age comes the need for substantial repairs or renovations and diligent
preventive maintenance. Because of the expense, many owners have deferred
taking these measures, without which the houses have tended to deteriorate at
an accelerating pace. The too frequent result of this can be seen in the
figures for vacant housing units (about 3,350) and relatively low values
of many residential buildings.
A large proportion of the City's housing stock is rental property (¢7.6%),
especially in older neighborhoods. These rental units address a huge part
of the housing demand and needs in the City, especially for citizens of
modest incomes. This property comprises a vital part of the housing
stock. However, a sizable percentage of these properties are in fair to
poor condition. The incentive for private investments to be made in
owner-occupied homes in these neighborhoods is weakened by nearby rental
units in disrepair. It is obvious that the upgrading of deteriorated
vacant and rental property must be a critical element of overall neigh-
borhood revitalization, as well as reinforcing the supply of decent afford-
able housing for our citizens.
Specifically, the purpose of the Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement
Program (NSEPtion), as the name implies, is to concentrate effort in a
small strategic residential neighborhood, in order to improve its overall
condition and stabilize its market. The means to approach this rests on
Code Enforcement. Inspectors seek to perform Building Maintenance Code
inspections on all rental and vacant units. The owners are notified of
violations that must be corrected and are informed of rehabilitation sub-
sidies that may be available to help.
NSEPtion began in December 1989 in a part of the Mountain View neigh-
borhood of the Hurt Park Conservation Area. The rehabilitation financing
dedicated to that effort was $313,000 from the Virginia Housing Partnership
Fund (VHPF). Those funds have been supplemented with additional alloca-
tions from the VHPF, CDBG, and Rental Rehabilitation. HOME funds of
$60~000 are now also committed to the Program in Fiscal Year 1992-93.
The Program will allow property-owners three funding options, providing
flexibility to assist different situations. The general preference will
be to provide for substantial rehabilitation, especially of vacant unpro-
ductive buildings; to provide relatively small amounts of funding for
individual proiects and encourage leveraging of additional funds fr~>m
other, sources, and to provide for repayment of Program funds for
eventual reuse.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program will only support the rehabilitation of
existing multi-family buildings for rental use. It is against the general
policy and priorities of the City to encourage rental of single-family
houses and the conversion of existing single-family buildings to multi-
family use.
Page 2
II, Program Design
A. Form of Rehabilitation Subsidy
Like the parallel Rental Rehabilitation Program, the NSEPtion Program
will offer three forms of rehabilitation subsidy, from which an appli-
cant may choose. In no case may the Program subsidy total more than
$15~000 per unit.
Grant equal to one-third of the rehabilitation expense. The owner
will be required to provide the other two-thirds from other
sources.
Loan equal to one-half of the rehabilitation expense, bearing 0%
interest rate, and with all payments deferred for 5 years. At the
end of 5 years) the original amount of loan will be due and
payable. The owner will be required to provide the other one-half
from other sources.
Loan for the full amount of the rehabilitation (up to $15~000 per
unit) 0 6_~_~ interest, amortizing on a 15-year term, but with a
balloon payment due after 5 years.
It is expected that this array of options may be applied to a variety
of different situations, including for existing owners of property
with no current debt, property with existing mortgages, and new buyers
of vacant buildings. The strong preference of the City will be for
the first or second option presented above, due to the ease of admi-
nistration, leveraging of outside funds, and suitability for substan-
tial rehabilitation. The third option is included as a contingency
for those desirable situations in which the owner cannot obtain out-
side financing for a portion of the repair work, due to existing debt
or other reasons.
General Conditions
1. Each unit subsidized must be located in an area designated as an
NSEPtion area.
Each unit subsidized under the Program must be substandard
according to Section 8 Housing Quality Standards (HQS) or the
City's Building Code.
Each unit subsidized under the Program must be renovated to at
lease Section 8 HQS and qualify for a Certificate of Occupancy
from the City Building Department. As part of the rehabilitation,
improvement of the exterior appearance of the building w_ill be
considered a priority.
Any unit rehabilitated under the Program must receive work costing
at least $6~000.
5. No unit rehabilitated under the Program may receive more than
$15~000 of Program funds, not counting funds from the VHPF.
Page 3
Each unit must be maintained at least to Section 8 HQS and
Certificate oJ Occupancy standards Jor Jive years.
There may be no discrimination against a prospective tenant
because oJ receipt oJ a eligibility Jot housing assistance, or
because oJ residence with a minor chi]d, Jot Jive years.
Each property owner will agree to comply with applicable require-
ments for nondiscrimination and "affirmative marketing" of units
rehabilitated under the Program for five years. Guidelines and
procedures for property owners will be developed jointly by the
City and the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority, to
insure that each owner is aware oJ his/her obligations in this

Areas of Eligibility
Currently, only a part oJ the Hurt Park Conservation Area is a
designated NSEPtion area. This area has a high concentration oJ ren-
tal property. In conjunction with on-going code enJorcement eJforts,
the rehabilitation subsidies provided by the Program have made and are
expected to continue to make a valuable contribution to the preser-
vation and improvement of this historic neighborhood.

D. Selection Criteria
Generally it is expected that applications from the NSEPtion area
which meet the basic general conditions may be processed on a
"first-come first-served" basis.
However, in the event more applications are received than funding is
available, they will be selected competitively based on a number of
considerations. The 100-point evaluation scale, outlined below, will
give priority to projects leveraging other funds, receiving substan-
tial rehabilitation, and currently under code enforcement orders.

In some cases~ the scoring of some factors will have to be "prorated."
For example, a triplex with two units occupied without code enforce-
ment orders and one unit vacant and condemned would be rated 5 in the
Occupancy category.
All assistance provided by the Program will be secured by a deed of
trust on the property. The total of all indebtedness against the pro-
perty, including any grants or deferred payment loans from the
Program, may not exceed 98 percent of the appraised value. Priority
will be given to properties with lower loan-to-value ratios, thereby
showing stronger financial feasibility and greater incentive to the
property owner to abide by the terms of the deed of trust (e.g., main-
tenance of the property to Section 8 standards).
Each applicant will be counseled that the Program design is such that
the feasibility of the rehabilitation must be based on market, unsub-
sidized rents, and that if projected cash flow is not sufficient
without subsidized rents, the rehabilitation may not be feasible.
Informational sessions with the private financial community will be
held as needed to explain the Program and to encourage them to par~
ticipate in the Program by making loans to property-owners in conjunc-
tion with Program funds.
III. Administrative Organization and Procedures
The code enforcement aspect of the NSEPtion Program will be administered
by the City Housing Development Office within the Building Department.
That Office will perform Building Maintenance Code inspections~ issue Code
violation notices~ and refer property-owners to the RRHA for possible
assistance under the Program. The rehabilitation portion of the Program
principally will be administered by the RRHA.
Page
Program Publicit¥~ Marketing~ and Outreach: The principal point of
contact for information about financial assistance will be the RRHA.
However, the City will also provide information regarding this in conjunc-
tion with Code inspections.
Receipt and Initial Screening of Preliminary Proposals: Preliminary propo-
sals will contain basic information about the project, such as location,
number and size of units to be rehabilitated, general description and
rough estimation of cost of repairs, expected source of private financing,
characteristics of current occupants, etc. The RRHA will review each of
these basic proposals upon its receipt to determine completeness and basic
eligibility.
Prioritization and Selection: If a surplus of applications is received such
that the Evaluation Scale must be applied to select, the RRHA and the
Housing Development Office will do so at this point to determine which
proposals appear to be best suited to the intent of the Program. Those
receiving the highest rankings will be asked to refine the application
packages, providing more detail about proposed projects, including
detailed work write-ups and estimates by the applicant's contractors.
Tentative Commitment: The RRHA will notify the applicant of the tentative
acceptance of the proposal, contingent on verifications of information
presented in the application. The inspector will conduct a rehabilitation
inspection of the building and examine the work write-up and cost estima-
tes included with the loan application, to verify that the work proposed
is eligible, appropriate~ and sufficient to correct Code violations cited
and to bring the property to HQ$, and that the estimate of costs or
contractor's bid is reasonable. A funding commitment will be issued, sub-
ject to obtaining private financing, if appropriate, or other contingencies.
Verifications: The RRHA will request the necessary verifications of
income, debt, credit, etc. The applicant will be asked to provide
appraisal of after-rehab value based on the work write-up and specifica-
tions. When determined that the proposal meets the criteria for the
Programs the loan package will be finalized by the RRHA for closing and
project set-up.
Loan Closing: Upon approval of any supplemental financing, arrangements
will be made to close both the loan from outside sources and from the RRHA
of Program funds simultaneously. Closing will be held by an attorney
selected for the Program, and appropriate disbursements will be made.
Rehabilitation: Arrangement for rehabilitation work to be performed will
be the responsibility of the applicant property owner. Periodic in-progress
inspections will be held by the rehabilitation inspector, relative to
compliance with the work write-up and workmanship standards, a~d by City
building inspector(s), to assure compliance with code requirements. Final
inspections will be performed to verify compliance with Section 8 Housing
Quality Standards and to confirm Certificate of Occupancy quality.
Page 7
Project Set-Up and Fund Disbursement: The RRHA will coordinate closely
with the City Housing Development Office and Finance Department to arrange
for project set-up from HUD's HOME funds accounts, and to make required
construction draws from the HUD system. The RRHA will be authorized to
set up projects in the system, but because all HOME funds will come
through the City, it will be necessary for the RRHA to notify City Finance
Department when a disbursement from a project account is needed.
Post-Rehabilitation Monitoring: Property owners will be asked to submit
brief periodic reports to the RRHA concerning the status of each project,
especially concerning rents and tenants. Blank report forms will be sent
by the RRHA to the owner for completion and return. In addition, on at
least an annual basis, a Section 8 housing inspector, rehabilitation
inspector, or City building inspector will perform an on-site inspection
to verify that each unit is maintained in accordance with the terms of the
deed of trust. The RRHA will be responsible for monitoring occupancy and
rent of each project to verify its compliance with federal HOME regulations.

tion or that later become vacant. Unless excepted under Section C below,
these marketing efforts shall include, at a minimum, the following:
Advertisement of any and all vacancies in the Roanoke Times and
World News and the Roanoke Tribune, such advertisement to include
the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or statement. Such adver-
tisements will specify that vacant units are available for, but
not limited to, Section 8 tenants.
Notification to the RRHA and TAP of any and all vacancies. This
notice will be forwarded by the RRHA to other service agencies and
organizations.
3. Posting of Equal Housing Opportunity poster, provided by the RRHA,
on vacant premises and rental offices, if existing.
A participating owner of a property of no more than 4 units may be
excused from any or all of the affirmative marketing requirements

Documentation: Unless excepted under Section C above, each par-
ticipating property owner shall document affirmative marketing, such
records to include the following:
1. Copies of all advertisements, notices, and other outreach for all
vacancies;
2. A log of all contacts with potential tenants, including raced
sex, approximate age, and reasons for not accepting as tenants;

approximate age;
#. Copies of advertisements placed by owners;
5. Records of characteristics of tenants occupying units, including
race, sex, and approximate age.
Assessment: The RRHA shall use the periodic reports filed by property
owners to verify compliance with affirmative marketing and Equal
Housing Opportunity requirements. In addition, the RRHA and/or the
City may make other periodic inspections of the property owner's
records concerning tenants and marketing activities, or ask for other
information.
Violations: Failure to comply with Equal Opprotunity, Nondiscrimination,
or Affirmative Marketing requirements will result in a written notice
from the RRHA to the property owner that specific provisions of the Deed
of Trust between the two parties have been violated, defining what
corrective actions, if any, are to be taken, and advising that further
violations or failure to take the prescribed actions may require
repayment of the assistance received from the Rental Rehabilitation
Program.

federal community development and housin8 programs, such as-' COBG, houain$
assistance under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, Supportive
Housin8 for the Elderly, and the new HOME and HOPE programs.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Examination of local housing needs revealed that there has been a reduction in
the proportion of owner-occupancy in the City. (In Roanoke, the rate of
homeownership dropped from 59.a% in 1980, to 56.6% in 1990. This is a national
trend as reflected by the drop in homeownership nationwide from 66% in 1980, to
6a% in 1990.) Therefore, emphasis will be placed on providing homeownership
opportunities.

support is particularly important for homeless persons and other spe-
cial needs populations).
PRIORITY

homeownership across all income levels.
OB3ECTIVE
The CHAS established a one year objective that the City administer the
Homeownership Assistance Resource Pool to provide low-interest mortgages, down

OWNER-OCCUPIED REHABILITATION LOANS
1992-93 PROGRAM GUIDELINES
I. Introduction
The Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program is
designed to facilitate the rehabilitation of houses occupied
by low-moderate income homeowners. In large part, it is
intended to address the purpose served previously by HUD's
Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan Program as it applied to such
borrowers, and to supplement repairs made through the
Critical Home Repair component of the Limited Critical Repair
Program.
Funds will be allocated to the Roanoke Redevelopment and
Housing Authority by the Virginia Department of Housing and
Community Development (DHCD) from the Indoor Plumbing/
Rehabilitation Program of the Virginia Housing Partnership
Fund. The RRHA will package applications for DHCD funding
from qualifying owners of homes not meeting Building
Maintenance Code and Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
Program funds may be used to pay for repairs to eliminate
code violations and make energy-conserving improvements.
In addition to funds allocated by DHCD, the City of
Roanoke may allocate, at its discretion, up to $100,000 of
its HOME funds to support this Program.
II. Pro~ram Application
The local Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program
will be funded principally from the DHCD's Indoor Plumbing/
Rehabilitation Program. The RRHA will be the program
applicant to DHCD for that program, instead of the City. The
City will support the RRHA's program application to DHCD.
III. Financin~ Package
Assistance will be available in accordance with the
Indoor Plumbing/Rehabilitation Program guidelines from the
DHCD, in the form of grants or dererred payment loans, as
determined by DHCD. Funding for individual project will be
made directly by DHCD, which will hold any deeds of trust or
grant agreements with homeowners.
If additional funds are allocated to the Program by the
City, the terms of that financing will parallel that of
DHCD's assistance, except the RRHA will hold any deeds of
trust or grant agreements, instead of DHCD.
IV. Marketin~ and Application Procedures
The RRHA will accept applications for the Program in
conjunction with applications for the Critical Home Repair
component of the Limited Critical Repair Program, in July
1992. The RRHA will package and process as many applications
to DHCD for Program assistance as possible, in general order
Page 2
of need of the homeowners.
Due to the necessity of coordinating these funds with
other programs of the City, the RRHA will keep the City
closely informed of applications received, the status of
their processing, and action by DHCD. When DHCD gives notice
of the number of applications and projects approved for
funding from its Indoor Plumbing/Rehabilitation Program, a
conclusion will be reached by the City in consultation with
the RRHA regarding use of the City's supplemental allocation
of HOME funds.
V. Eliqibility Determination
Borrowing homeowners must have income not exceeding 60%
of the area median income established by HUD, in accordance
with DHCD guidelines. Houses must be occupied by the owner
and must be in substandard condition, i.e. not meeting
Section 8 Housing Quality Standards. Consistent with the
procedures for the Critical Home Repair component of the
Limited Critical Repair Program, assistance will be sought
first for those houses in greatest need of repair.
VI. Biddin~
Competitive bidding of the rehabilitation work will be
required, in accordance with DHCD guidelines and requirements
of the federal HOME funds. Bidding will be arranged and
overseen by the Rehabilitation Specialists of the RRNA.
VII. Loan Packaqin~ and Underwritin~
The RRHA will perform the loan packaging, including
requesting verifications of income, title reports, etc.,
as required by DHCD. Because DHCD has indicated its
intention to process and approve projects generally in the
order received, the RRHA will seek to submit as many packages
as quickly as possible, beginning September 1 or as soon as
DHCD indicates it will accept proposals.
VIII. Loan Disbursement
As directed by DHCD, the RRHA will cooperate with DHCD
in setting up a project account for HOME funds allocated to
the State for each house assisted under the Program. As
directed by DHCD, and in accordance with any agreements set
with the rehabilitation contractor and the borrowing
homeowner, a series of draws from directly from DHCD and the
project account will be made as the homeowner, contractor and
Rehabilitation Specialist jointly determine that specific
stages of completion are reached.
Page 3
IX. Loan Servicin~
Ail deeds of trust or grant agreements will be held by
DHCD. Any repayments or foreclosures will be the
responsibility of DHCD.
All borrowers will be encouraged to participate in a
training course, coordinated by the Housing Counselor in
consultation with the City Housing Development Office,
concerning major aspects of homeownership such as house-
keeping and budgeting, but concentrating on on-going and
preventive maintenance and repair.

SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
"Section 3" Compliance in the Provision of Training, Employment and Business
Opportunities:
The work to be performed under this contract is on a project assisted
under a program providing direct Federal financial assistance from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development and is subject to the
requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of
1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 170. Section 3 requires that to the

are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing in the
area of the project.
The parties to this contract will comply with the provisions of said
Section 3 and the regulations issued pursuant thereto by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development set forth in 24 CFR 135, and all
applicable rules and orders of the Department issued thereunder prior

certify and agree that they are under no contractual or other
disability which would prevent them from complying with these

Housing and Urban Development 24 CFR Part 135. The contractor will not
subcontract with any subcontractor where it has notice or knowledge
that the latter has been found in violation of regulations under 24 CFR

such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance; provided,
however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in or is
threatened with litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result

actively with the Department and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the
compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity
clause and the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of
Labor; that it will furnish the Department and the Secretary of Labor such
compliance; and that it will otherwise assist the Department in the
discharge of its primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The Contractor further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any
contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not
demonstrated eligibility for Government contracts and Federally-assisted
construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out
such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause
as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the Department or
the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D, of the Executive
Order. In addition, the Contractor agrees that if it fails or refuses to
comply with these undertakings, the Department may take any or all of the
following actions: cancel, terminate or suspend in whole or in part the
grant or loan guarantee; refrain from extending any further assistance to
the Contractor under the Program with respect to which the failure or

The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Re: Danqerous and vicious doqs
Dear Mrs. Bowles and Gentlemen:
At the City Council meeting of July 13, 1992, Council referred
to this Office the request of Councilmember Harvey that a review be
conducted of the dangerous and vicious dog ordinance to assure that
the responsibility is placed on the owners of dogs to control their
pets. It was also requested that the highest penalties available
be imposed upon persons who act irresponsibly in the keeping of
dangerous or vicious dogs. I am pleased to provide this report in
response to City Council's request.
The dangerous and vicious dog ordinance adopted by City
Council on April 6, 1992, places the responsibility for controlling
dogs just where it belongs, i.e. squarely on the "owners" (a term
broadly defined to include anyone who keeps or harbors a dog or
permits a dog to remain on or about his premises). The ordinance
creates the three following categories of dogs: (1) most dogs
which have not exhibited any characteristics which would cause them
to be labeled as dangerous or vicious dogs; (2) dangerous dogs; and
(3) vicious dogs. Under §6-22 of the current ordinance, a
"dangerous dog" is one which has caused a wound to a person without
provocation or which has killed another domestic animal off the
property of its owner. The definition of "dangerous dog" also
includes dogs which are owned for the purpose of dogfighting or
which have been trained for dogfighting; dogs which, unprovoked,
chase persons in a menacing fashion or apparent attitude of attack;
and dogs which have a known propensity or disposition to attack
unprovoked. Thus, it ks not necessary that a dog have its first
bite in order to be classified as "dangerous". "Vicious dog" is
also defined by S6-22 of the current ordinance, and this term
includes a dog which has killed a person; inflicted serious injury
to a person; or continued to exhibit the behavior which resulted in
a previous finding by a court that it is a dangerous dog. A
"vicious dog" represents a much more serious threat to the public,
and the ordinance provides that, when a dog reaches "vicious dog"
status, it shall be euthanized.
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
August 24, 1992
Section §6-52 of the current ordinance imposes strict
conditions and specifications under which a dangerous dog must be
kept. Among the most important of these conditions is the
requirement that the dog be securely confined indoors or, if kept
outdoors, kept in a securely enclosed and locked pen which is
described in detail in the ordinance. See S6-52(a). The owner of
a dangerous dog must also carry and -~aintain public liability
insurance in the amount of $50,000. See S6-52(c). Also, if any
dangerous dog is taken off the proper~y of its owner, it must be
muzzled and restrained by a substantial chain or leash. See ~6-
52(e). Under the current ordinance, if the owner of a dangerous
dog violates the conditions for its keeping, the owner is guilty of
a Class 2 misdemeanor (punishable by six months in jail and/or
$1,000 fine) for a first violation. For a second violation, the
owner is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor (punishable by 12 months
in Jail and/or $2,500 fine). See S6-53.
As requested by City Council, I have conducted a thorough
review of the dangerous and vicious dog ordinance adopted by City
Council on April 6, 1992. In order to reaffirm City Council's
policy that the owners of dogs should be held strictly responsible
for their actions and to impose the heaviest penalties permitted by
law, I am recommending the following amendments to the dangerous
and vicious dog ordinance:
Clarify that a dog may be a dangerous dog or a
vicious dog without a finding by a court. For
example, if an owner knows that his dog has
caused a "wound" (a defined term) to any
person without provocation, then the dog is a
dangerous dog which must be kept in strict
compliance with the conditions established by
~6-52.
Increase the penalty for not keeping a
dangerous dog in strict compliance with the
conditions of ~6-52 from a Class 2 misdemeanor
to a Class 1 misdemeanor regardless of whether
the infraction is a first or succeeding
violation. A Class 1 misdemeanor is
punishable by confinement in jail for not more
than twelve months and a fine of not more than
$2,500.00, either or both.
Create a new offense of owning a dangerous dog
which causes a wound to any person. Although
it would be virtually impossible for a
dangerous dog kept according to the required
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
August 24, 1992
conditions to injure any member of the public,
the new offense recognizes that reckless or
lawless persons may keep dangerous dogs
without regard to the law. Prosecution of the
owner of a dangerous dog that wounds any
person would not preclude prosecution of the
owner for the additional offense of failing to
keep a dangerous dog under the conditions
required by City Council in S6-52.
Create a new offense carrying a Class 1
misdemeanor penalty of keeping a vicious dog
within the City. Although the ordinance
requires a vicious dog to be euthanized, the
new offense recognizes the possibility that
vicious dogs may be kept within the City
unbeknownst to authorities.
Create a new offense of owning a vicious dog
which causes a wound to any person. Although
no person should own a vicious dog kept within
the City, the new offense again recognizes
that reckless or lawless persons may evade the
law.
The attached ordinance, which I recommend to you, implements the
foregoing amendments immediately. The Commonwealth's Attorney
supports the proposed amendments and also recommends them to you.
If City Council adopts the attached ordinance, the City Code
will include the following Class 1 misdemeanor offenses relating to
dangerous or vicious dogs:
Keeping a dangerous dog except in strict
compliance with conditions established by S6-
52;
Owning a dangerous dog which causes a wound to
any person;
Keeping a vicious dog in the City;
Owning a vicious dog which causes a
any person; and
wound to
Concealing a dog which has caused a wound to
any person.
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
August 24, 1992
4
As I am sure you are aware, a Class 1 misdemeanor carries the
highest penalty which may be imposed by City Council.
As was observed by Mr. Harvey in his letter to City Council,
most serious dog bites can be traced back to irresponsible dog
owners. The ordinance adopted by City Council on April 6, as
amended by the attached ordinance, provides for careful regulation
of dog ownership and punishes those owners who act irresponsibly.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mayor and Members of Council: Re: Animal Control
At its meeting of July 27, 1992, Councilman Harvey requested
that I examine the animal control ordinance and make
recommendations concerning increased enforcement of the "dog
leash law."
On careful examination of our ordinance, I find in Article
II, Section 6-22, that in order for an animal to be at large, he
must roam, run or self hunt off the property of the owner or
custodian while not under the owner's or custodian'S immediate
control. While the ordihance prohibits running at la~ge, it does
not specifically require that an animal be on a leash. The
troublesome language is, of course, "under the owner's or
custodian's i~u~ediate control."
Our experience is that most dog owners who do not have their
animals leashed would contend that the animal is under their
immediate control through "voice command" or other gestures.
If, in fact, the intent of Council is to routinely and
consistently summons dog owners for walking on public streets and
properties including public parks without an animal being
leashed, it is incumbent upon us to modify the ordinance to
require ,,physical control" as opposed to the language ,,immediate
control."
Our past enforcement history of Section 6-23, which
prohibits dogs running at large, has been confined generally to
those animals that are not accompanied by an owner and are
allowed or permitted to run at large alone or in the company of
other animals.
Any such amendment to the code is likely to be a highly
charged emotional issue. As you know, walking one'S pet is a
common practice and the use of parks for exercise of pet animals
is often a favorite pastime of both the animal and its owners.
Thus careful consideration should be given to amending the Code
to require all pets to be under ,,physical control." If there is
additional work you would like to see undertaken in this regard
please let me know.

Issues in order of importance are:
Compliance of bidders with the requirements of the
contract documents.
B. Amount of the low bid.
C. Fundinq for the project.
D. Time of completion.
Alternatives are:
Award a unit price contract to John A. Hall and
Company, Incorporated, of Roanoke, Virginia,
submitting the low bid in the amount of $32~971.94
and sixty (60) consecutive calendar days for the
construction of Neighborhood Storm Drain

and 122 Campbell avenue for $164,000, and further providing that the City

Trinkles at 118 and 124 Campbell Avenue.
Virginia Department of Conservation and Historic Resources provided a $100,000
grant toward the acquisition of the Campbell Avenue Historic properties.
The City of Roanoke agreed to donate historic preservation easements on the
buildings to the Virginia Historic Landmarks Board (VHLB) or to require as a
condition of sale that the purchaser or purchasers donate historic preservation
easements to the VHLB, as required by the State Grant Agreement.
The City of Roanoke prepared and submitted an acceptable register report to the

added to the State Register and nominated to the National Register of Historic
Places.
$225,000 was the estimated market value of the properties on December 19,
1990. Estimate provided by the City.!s Office of Real Estate Valuation. This
value does not take into account any costs such as asbestos removal, brokerage
fees, etc., that may be incurred in the process of marketing the property.

Historic Properties. (The asbestos has not been removed.)

IV. ALTERNATIVES:
ho
Committee recommend to City Council that it authorize the execution of necessary
documents relating to the sale of 118, 120, 122 and 124 Campbell Avenue for a
sum of $120.000 subject to the following conditions:
Purchaser be given 90 days to secure
identified financing including amount, term
and interest rate.
ii. Purchaser obtaining title insurance policy.
iii.
Purchaser securing $5.000 grant from City's
Historic Grant Fund for each of the four
buildings - total funds sought $20.000.
iv.
Purchaser pay commission relating to the
sale.
Prior to sale, City place, an historic
preservation easement on the property in
favor of Virginia Historic Landmarks Board.
vi.
Purchaser acknowledge responsibility
for abatement of asbestos.
Historic preservation will be maintained with the redevelopment of the
Campbell Avenue Historic Buildings.
Downtown Redevelopment will continue with new businesses locating into
the renovated properties along with citizens seeking to live downtown.
Timing will allow the City to convey ownership of the properties without
having to incur additional expense to stabilize the buildings.
Committee recommend to City Council that it not authorize the sale of 118, 120,
122 and 124 Campbell Avenue.
Historic preservation will not be enhanced due to buildings' desperate
need for renovation.
Water Resources Committee
June 22, 1992
Page 4
Downtown redevelopment will not be enhanced due to store fronts
remaining empty, jobs will not be created and a missed opportunity for
downtown housing.
Timing will be negatively impacted due to the work the City will need to
do to maintain the existing structures. For example, the roofs on 118 and
124 need to be replaced now before structural damage occurs.
V. RECOMMENDATION:
Committee recommend to City Council that it authorize the execution of necessary
documents in form approved by City Attorney relating to the sale of 118, 120, 122 and
124 Campbell Avenue for a sum of $120.000 in accordance with Alternative "A" subject

The Honorable David A. Bowers,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Mayor
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Martin E. Hellkamp, represented
by Daniel F. Layman, attorney, that property
located at 759 Welton Avenue, S.W., described
as Official Tax No. 1250133, be rezoned from
RM-1, Residential Multifamily, Low Density
District, to RM-2, Residential Multifamily,
Medium Density District, subject to certain
conditions proffered by the petitioner.
I. Background:
Purpose of the rezoning request is to place an existing
nonconforming use into a conforming zoning district
classification so that certain repairs and improvements
can be made to the residential property.
B. Petition to rezone was filed on May 13, 1992.
Ce
First amended petition to rezone was filed on June 23,
1992. The following conditions were proffered by the
petitioner:
No further development of multifamily dwelling
units will be made on the property, although
Petitioner reserves the right to develop single
family and/or two-family residences on lots
subdivided from the property, as consistent with
proffer (b) below.
The area along Welton Avenue marked "Frontage A"
on Exhibit B to this petition will be developed,
if at all, only with single-family residences on a
maximum of ten (10) lots subdivided (in accordance
with applicable ordinances) from the property.
The area along Welton Avenue and Floyd Avenue
marked "Frontage B" on Exhibit B to this petition
will be developed, if at all, with single and/or
Room 355 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
August 10, 1992
two-family residences on a maximum of ten (10)
lots subdivided (in accordance with applicable
ordinances) from the property.
The exterior of the main house will not be
materially altered except (i) as may be required
for normal maintenance and repair; (ii) for the
addition of one or more porches or decks in a
manner architecturally consistent with existing
conditions; (iii) in order to weatherproof doors
and windows.
No trees with a caliper of twelve inches (12") or
greater (measured three feet from the ground) will
be removed from the property unless diseased or
damaged or unless necessary to permit construction
on lots subdivided from the property in accordance
with applicable ordinances.
If a building permit for electrical system upgrade
to be made to the mansion on the property is not
obtained within one (1) year from the effective
date of the ordinance rezoning the property, the
zoning shall revert to RM-1, Residential
Multifamily, Low Density District without further
action of City Council.
Planning Commission public hearinq was held on
Wednesday, July 1, 1992. Mr. Daniel Layman, attorney,
appeared before the Commission on behalf of the
petitioner. Mr. Layman informed the Commission of the
history of the property, its various uses and the state
of the property when his client purchased it through a
bank foreclosure sale. He further stated that his
client had already made approximately $50,000 worth of
improvements to the old mansion and was prepared to
have a substantial upgrade done to the house's
electrical system when he found out the property was
not correctly zoned for the existing apartments on the
property. Mr. Layman then informed the Commision that
after the rezoning request was filed, it was postponed
for one month in order that he and his client could
work with staff on the wording and need of certain
proffers regarding the renovation of the mansion and
future use/development of the property. Mr. Layman
then reviewed the proffered conditions and informed the
Commission of a proposed revision to the last proffer
pertaining to the reversion clause and the completion
of the electrical work to be done to the mansion.
Mrs. Dorsey gave the staff report and stated that the
purpose of the rezoning request was to place an
Members of Council
Page 3
August 10, 1992
existing nonconforming use into a conforming zoning
district classification so that certain restoration and
rehabilitation work could be done to the mansion and
detached carriage house. She then reviewed the history
of the property and the various non-residential uses of
the subject property since 1954. Mrs. Dorsey stated
that the rezoning of the subject property would be an
asset to the neighborhood because it would facilitate
the restoration of a significant structure and property
in that area. She further stated that the planning
staff recommended approval of the request finding that
the existing use and proffered conditions, would not
only preserve the existing structures but would serve
to enhance the neighborhood as well as comply with the
issues set forth in the comprehensive plan.
Ms. Mamie Vest, 754 Welton Avenue, S.W., appeared
before the Commission and stated that she felt the
rezoning request was good and proper for the property
and neighborhood. She further commented that the house
was fabulous and on a wonderful piece of property and
that she was very pleased with the rezoning and the
work to be done to the property.
Mrs. Martha Franklin, Secretary to the Commission, read
into the record a letter received from an adjoining
resident in the area. Mrs. Franklin noted that Ms. Ann
Wilson of 1802 Lawnhill Avenue had concerns about the
following items: 1) traffic increase in the area
because of 30 additional families; 2) Floyd Avenue is
narrow and you have to drive in the gutter to pass
another vehicle; 3) density is usually 6 to 8 houses in
a block, not 30 in two blocks; 4) did not want more
traffic and cars parking across street from her; 5) all
the back doors of the new development will face front
doors in the area and she does not want to see
overturned garbage cans; 6) property values will be
lowered; and 7) two additional stoplights will be
needed.
Mr. Marlles stated that most of the concerns raised by
Ms. Wilson dealt with the future development of the
subject property and not so much the renovation and
continued residential use of the mansion and carriage
house.
Mr. Larry Moore, local realtor, appeared before the
Commission and stated that he represented his wife who
owned the house next door to Ms. Wilson. He further
stated that he felt the rezoning request, with the
proffered conditions, would improve the neighborhood
Members of Council
Page 4
August 10, 1992
and not detract from it. He commented that he was in
favor of the request.
No one else appeared before the Commission to speak in
favor or in opposition to the request.
Second amended petition to rezone was filed on July 9,
1992. The following conditions were proffered by the
petitioner:
No further development of multifamily dwelling
units will be made on the property, although
Petitioner reserves the right to develop single
family and/or two-family residences on lots
subdivided from the property, as consistent with
proffer (b) below.
The area along Welton Avenue marked "Frontage A"
on Exhibit B to this petition will be developed,
if at all, only with single-family residences on a
maximum of ten (10) lots subdivided (in accordance
with applicable ordinances) from the property.
The area along Welton Avenue and Floyd Avenue
marked "Frontage B" on Exhibit B to this petition
will be developed, if at all, with single and/or
two-family residences on a maximum of ten (10)
lots subdivided (in accordance with applicable
ordinances) from the property.
The exterior of the main house will not be
materially altered except (i) as may be required
for normal maintenance and repair; (ii) for the
addition of one or more porches or decks in a
manner architecturally consistent with existing
conditions; (iii) in order to weatherproof doors
and windows.
No trees with a caliper of twelve inches (12") or
greater (measured three (3) feet from the ground)
will be removed from the property unless diseased
or damaged or unless necessary to permit
construction on lots subdivided from the property
in accordance with applicable ordinances.
If a building permit for electrical system upgrade
to be made to the mansion on the property is not
obtained and the permitted work completed and
inspected and approved by City Building officials
within (1) one year from the effective date of the
ordinance rezoning the property, the zoning shall
revert to RM-1, Residential Multifamily, Low
Members of Council

August 10, 1992
Density District without further action to City
Council.
II. Issues:
Zoninq of the subject property is RM-1, Residential
Multifamily, Low Density District. The zoning pattern
in the area is as follows: to the north, south, east
and west adjoining the subject property is RM-2,
Residential Multifamily, Medium Density District; to
the far east is LM, Light Manufacturing District; and
to the far south is RS-3, Residential Single Family
District.
Land use of the subject property is currently an older,
single family residence (the "Welton Mansion") which
had been divided into six (6) apartments, a carriage
house (also converted to an apartment) and a garage
with the balance of the site being vacant, undeveloped
land. Surrounding and uses in the area are as follows:
to the north, south, east and west is a mixture of
single family and two-family dwellings.
Utilities are available and of adequate capacity to
serve the existing development on the site. Storm
drainage and erosion and sedimentation control as well
as other engineering concerns on this site will be
addressed and resolved during comprehensive site
development plan and/or any future subdivision review
of this property.
Traffic/Access to this site is provided by the
adjoining public streets, Welton Avenue and Floyd
Avenue. The City Traffic Engineer has stated that
given the previous and proposed continuance of the use
of the site, that there would be no significant traffic
impact on Welton Avenue.
Neighborhood orqanization does not exist for this
particular area. The planning office notified
adjoining property owners by mail on Monday, June
1992.
22,
F. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
Encourage variety of housing choice in existing
neighborhoods through a balance of preservation,
rehabilitation and new development;
2. Discourage insensitive new construction and
demolition of usable units.
Members of Council
Page 6
August 10, 1992
III. Alternatives:
A. City
1.
B. City
1.
Council approve the requested rezoning.
Zoning of the subject property would become
conditional, RM-2, Residential Multifamily, Medium
Density District and the renovation and
rehabilitation of the existing residential
structures on the property could occur.
Land use would become multifamily residential and
the existing (multifamily) residential structure
and detached carriage house would be renovated and
preserved.
Utilities are available and of adequate capacity
for the rehabilitation of the existing units on
the property. All engineering or design concerns
would be addressed during comprehensive
development plan and/or subdivision review of the
subject property for any further development of
the site.
Access to and from the site can be safely provided
from the adjoining public streets. No traffic
impacts are anticipated from the proposed
continuation of the multifamily use on the subject
property.
Neighborhood realizes the benefit of the
rehabilitation and restoration of the site through
the renovation and preservation of the two
existing (residential) structures on the property.
Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth would be
followed.
Council deny the requested rezoning.
Zoning of the subject property would remain RM-1,
Residential Multifamily, Low Density District.
The renovation and rehabilitation of the two
older, deteriorating structures for multifamily
purposes would not be permitted.
Land use would remain residential and the existing
nonconforming use of property as multifamily would
have to be discontinued.
3. Utilities would be unaffected.
Members of Council
Page 7
August 10, 1992
Traffic/Access to the subject property would not
be an issue.
Neighborhood would continue to be affected by the
deteriorating structures on the property that
could be renovated and rehabilitated back into the
previously existed multifamily use.
Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth could be
followed at a later date.
IV. Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 6 0 (Mrs. Coles
absent), recommends aDDroval of the requested rezoning
finding that the rezoning to allow for the continuation of
the existing multifamily development on the subject
property, coupled with the proffered conditions regarding
the future development of the balance of the site, is in
keeping with the recommendations of the comprehensive plan.
Furthermore, the rezoning would provide for the
rehabilitation, renovation and continued adaptive reuse of
two (2) existing and possibly historically significant
structures in the community.

garage. (Attached to this petition as Exhibit C is a three-page
floor plan showing the interior layout of the main house and
carriage house. This plan is for informational purposes only,
without representation that the interior layout will remain
unchanged.) Portions of the electrical system in the mansion
will be upgraded, with separate heating and alr-c0nditioning
systems installed for several of the units. A~sthetic
improvements will also be made to the exterior of the mansion.

consistent with the intent and purposes of the City's Zoning
Ordinance and comprehensive plan in that it will permit continued
modernization and general upgrading of a classic old home and
grounds while conforming the zoning classification to an existing
(though unpermitted) use. The area is characterized by a mixture
of modest single-family and duplex units which will not be
disrupted by this rezoning, given the facts that the existing use
will not change and that the subject tract is quite large and
heavily wooded on all sides.
5. The Petitioner hereby proffers and agrees that if the said
tract is rezoned as requested, the rezoning will be subject to,
and the Petitioner will abide'by, the following conditions:

Avenue marked "Frontage B" on Exhibit B to this petition
will be developed, if at all, with singleI and/or two-family

and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Application of the City of Roanoke to alter
and close by barricade, Day Avenue, S.W., at
its intersection with Franklin Road, S.W.
I. Backqround:
Franklin Road wideninq pro~ect resulted in the
acquisition of abutting land to provide for additional
lanes.
Project Plan prepared by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) was coordinated with the City
Traffic Engineer, and was presented to the public in
the course of a public hearing on March 28, 1989.
Increase in street qrade elevations, as a part of the
project design, required the closure and barricading of
Day Avenue, S.W., at its intersection with Franklin
Road, S.W.
Construction of the widening project is currently
underway. Day Avenue at the subject location has been
physically barricaded by construction crews to
facilitate the road construction work, consistent with
the project plan.
II. Current Situation:
Application to close Day Avenue, S.W., at its
intersection with Franklin Road, S.W., was reviewed by
the Planning Commission at its regular meeting of July
1, 1992.

of Council

B. Applicant requests that Day Avenue, S.W., be altered by
closure with a barricade of the subject intersection
without vacating any of the existing public right-of-
way.
C. Barricades at the terminus of Day Avenue, S.W. will be
constructed in the form of a retaining wall and a
guardrail.
D. Planning Commission expressed its disappointment in the
belated manner in which the street closure had been
processed, in that the street had been physically
closed before the Commission received or was presented
with a petition for its official closure.
III. Issues:
A. Neighborhood impact.
B. Traffic impact.
C. Utilization within the public right-of-way.
D. Creation of a dead end street.
E. Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan.
IV. Alternatives:
Recommend that City Council approve the applicant's
request to alter by closure with a barricade, Day
Avenue, S.W., at its intersection with Franklin Road,
S.W.
1. Neighborhood impact. Closure by barricade at this
intersection will not adversely affect the
neighborhood.
2. Traffic impact. Closure will not affect or impede
traffic or traffic needs in the area.
Utilities with the public right-of-way. City has
utilities within this area of the public right-of-
way. Closure by barricade will have no effect on
these utilities. Right-of-way is not to be
vacated.
Creation of a dead-end street. Barricade would
create a dead-end street. VDOT project plans
provide for the construction of a turnaround at
the terminus of Day Avenue, S.W. Plans also
Members of Council
Page 3
August 10, 1992
Be
provide for the construction of a proper stairway
for pedestrian access between Day Avenue, S.W.,
and Franklin Road, S.W. Streets will be separated
by a stone wall with a handrail at the top.
Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. Franklin
Road widening project is a part of th~ 1995
Thoroughfare Plan. Thoroughfare Plan is an
element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This
request is therefore consistent with the intent of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Recommend that City Council deny the applicant's
request to alter by closure, Day Avenue, S.W., at its
intersection with Franklin Road, S.W.
1. Neiqhborhood impact would not be an issue.
2. Traffic impact. Re-opening of Day Avenue, S.W.,
would create a major problem for traffic, due to
the acute differential that would exist in street
grade elevations.
Utilities with the public right-of-way would not be an
issue.
Creation of a dead-end street would not be an issue.
Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. Denial of the
request would be inconsistent with the intent of the
Franklin Road widening project plans. Leaving this
intersection with Day Avenue, S.W., open to merge with
an adjacent street of improper elevation would be
inconsistent with public safety and orderly development
and would therefore be inconsistent with the intent of
the Comprehensive Plan.
We
Recommendation
Planning Commission by a vote of 4-1-1 (Mr. Buford voting
against the motion, Mr. Sowers abstaining and Mrs. Coles
absent) recommends that City Council approve alternative
"A", thereby recommending that City Council approving the
applicant's request to alter by closure with a barricade,
Day Avenue, S.W., at its easterly intersection with Franklin
Road, S.W., in accordance with plans and specifications
prepared by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

ABANDON OLD ROADWAY ACCESS EASEMENT
FALLING CREEK RESERVOIR
& Operations, thru
I. Background:
~ccess to Falling Creek Reservoir property, prior to the
construction of Section 6, Falling Creek Subdivision, was
via a thirty (30) foot wide roadway access easement from
the end of Laurel Glen Lane.
Dedication of Horsepen Mountain Drive (Route 1035) in
Section 6, Falling Creek Subdivision, which extends in a
northeasterly direction from Laurel Glen Lane and crosses
the City's access easement approximately seven hundred
(700') feet closer to the reservoir property, has caused
that seven hundred (700') foot segment of the easement to
be unnecessary and unused.
II. Current Situation:
Request that the City close and abandon the now unused
segment of the access easement has been received from Ms.
Cindy F. Ross of 4008 Horsepen Mountain Road whose
property is affected by it.
Water Department has not used this segment of access
easement for several years and has no objection to its
abandonment.
C. Abandonment of access easement removes liability and
potential maintenance problems for the City.

Background:
City Council, at its meeting on April 28, 1986,
unanimously approved Resolution No. 28109 which
requested that the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) program a project for the
replacement of the Fifth Street Bridge over NS
Railroad.
Location and design of this project was approved
by City Council at its meeting on September 17,
1990 by Resolution No. 30232-91790. VDOT then
proceeded with final design and right-of-way
acquisition.
Current Situation:
Fifth Street project is now ready to be advertised
by VDOT for construction in September 1992, which
is ahead of schedule. This work can be completed
within several months and without delaying the
start of construction for the Second Street/
Gainsboro Road project (now projected to begin in
late 1993).
Agreement associated with these two highway
projects between City, VDOT, and Norfolk Southern
Railway is expected to be finalized before
September which will involve the relocation of
Norfolk Southern's overhead signal, communication,
and motive power facilities from overhead to
underground in railroad right-of-way from Fifth
Street to First Street (City Manager is already
authorized to execute all railway agreements for
this project). Cost will be split evenly between
the two projects, with the City expected to pay
its 2% share. Aesthetics of this area will
greatly benefit from this action.

Designation of Voting and Alternate Voting Delegates,
Annual Congress of Cities, November 28 - December 2, 1992
New Orleans, Louisiana
The National League of Cities' Annual Business Meeting will be held Tuesday, December 1,
1992 at the Congress of Cities in New Orleans, Louisiana. Under the Bylaws of the
National League of Cities, each direct member city is entitled to cast from one to 20 votes,
depending upon the city's population, through its designated voting delegate at the Annual
Business Meeting. The table on the reverse side of this memorandum shows the breakdown
of votes by population categories.
To be eligible to cast the city's vote(s), each voting delegate and alternate voting delegate
must be designated by the city using the attached form which will be forwarded to NLC's
Credentials Committee. NLC's Bylaws expressly prohibit voting by proxy. Thus, the
designated voting delegates must be present at the Annual Business Meeting to cast the city's
vote or votes.
To enable us to get your credentials in order and to provide your voting delegates with
proposed National Municipal Policy amendments and proposed Resolutions prior to the
Congress of Cities, we ask that you return the WHITE copy of the completed form to NLC
on or before October 2, 1992. A pre-addressed envelope is attached. Upon receipt of these
names, NLC will send each voting and alternate voting delegate a set of instructions on
registration and rules governing the conduct of the Annual Business Meeting.
To assist your state municipal league in selecting delegates to cast votes on behalf of the state
municipal league, please forward the YELLOW copy of the credential form to your state
league office and keep the PINK copy for your records.
If you have any questions, please contact Lesley-Ann Rennie at (202) 626-3020.
