REMARKS OF JOHN S. EDWARDS
NOVEMBER 1, 1993
Mayor Bowers, Members of Council, Judge Willett,
gentlemen:
I want to thank the Mayor and Members of Council for their
vote of confidence and for this unique privilege, opportunity and
honor to serve the citizens of the City of Roanoke.
When Bev Fitzpatrick resigned to pursue new avenues of service
to this community, the City lost a valuable councilman. He
deserves our thanks for his years of service to this City. His new
role in helping to shape a regional economic plan will be an
important new service to our City and region.
Serving on Council is meaningful to me and my family in a
personal way because almost half a century ago my father served on
this Council. His picture as a former Mayor hangs in this very
room.
When my father returned from the Pacific after World War II,
he and other young veterans were energized to make changes and
promote progress for this City. In a short time, they built a new
library, an airport terminal, a new health center, new schools and
additions to old schools. They overhauled the water system and
built a sewage treatment plant to replace dumping raw sewage into
the Roanoke river. They replaced the old trolley cars, paved over
the rails in the streets, and improved the City bus system. And
they employed a new City Manager. They also desegregated the public
1
ladies and
library and the City police force years before the Supreme Court
ordered the public schools to desegregate.
That era of progress led to Roanoke becoming an All-America
City in 1952. Sinc~ then, Roanoke has achieved that distinction a
number of times, but only as a result of a progressive vision.
There is much unfinished business on Council's agenda. But
more importantly there are ideas and projects not yet envisioned
which need to be placed on Council's plate for action.
The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center needs promoting as a
regional project. Closer ties with Virginia Tech can lead to a
regional vision and the growth of "high tech" industries based on
access to a major research and educational institution.
Development of the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center can
also help solve the parking problems at the Roanoke Civic Center.
With additional parking space, the Roanoke Civic Center can become
an even greater asset to the City.
We are, as a City and a region, at a cross-roads. Having lost
the headquarters of the railroad and seen our largest local bank
taken over by an out-of-state bank, we can no longer rely on our
traditional industries for economic security.
A new vision is needed. This new vision must be regional, and
Each of the localities in the region must have an
not just local.
interest in it.
This vision
must also build on our existing strengths and
resources and not merely be adopted from another place.
We have many strengths and resources to tap. We are a major
2
medical center and a strong financial center; we have regional
retailing and merchandizing centers; we have a sound professional
community of lawyers, doctors, accountants, architects and
engineers, and a capable work force with a solid work ethic. We
also have good public schools, active civic and cultural
organizations, natural scenic beauty and accessible recreational
resources. Indeed, Roanoke is one of the most desirable communities
in which to live in terms of its scenic beauty and friendly and
inviting people.
To be successful, this new vision must also be shared among
all our citizens, black and white, old and young, rich and poor,
labor and business. No vision will succeed unless all our citizens
perceive a stake in it.
There are times in history when the forces of change demand
progress to improve our quality of life. The late 1940's were such
a time and much progress was achieved then for our City. Today can
also be such a time. Working together with the Mayor and members
of Council, with the City Manager and the many talented and
dedicated City employees, and with the good citizens of this City,
we can make this community an even better place in which to live
and take up the task to shape a new vision and achieve the progress
our citizens deserve.
Thank you for your confidence and for this opportunity and
honor.

approximately 10% per year and is occurring at an
earlier age.
The former Mayor called upon the City to address the
problems of teen pregnancy in a State of the City
address.
The Resource Mothers pro~ram is jointly operated by the
Roanoke City Health Department and The Department of
Social Services. This program provides prenatal care,
education support, parenting training and crisis
intervention services to pregnant teens and teen
parents.

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Revision to the City Flood Plain Ordinance
I. Backqround:
City of Roanoke Flood Plain Ordinanc~ was revised on
January 21, 1992 (Ord. No. 30839-012192) in order to:
(1) bring the City's existing flood plain regulations
into conformance with recent federal requirements
promulgated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA); (2) qualify the City of Roanoke for discounts on
flood insurance rates; and (3) improve the internal
organization and structure of the current ordinance.
Most recent amendments to the Flood Plain Ordinance were
approved by City Council on October 4, 1993 by Ord. No.
31697-100493.
FEMA has requested additional revisions to the City's
flood plain regulations. Specifically, the City needs to
delete the words "with a two (2) foot freeboard added"
from the definition of "Base flood elevation"; delete
the words "boundary and floodway map" from Section 36.1-
362(1) and replace them with "Insurance Rate Map";
delete the words "boundary and floodway map" from Section
36.1-362(2) and replace them with "Insurance Rate Map";
delete the words "boundary and floodway" from Section
36.1-363(b) and replace them with "Insurance Rate";
delete the words "in the form of a letter of map
amendment (LOMA)" from Section 36.1-363(c); delete the
word "habitable"from Section 36.1-364(f); and that
Section 36.1-370 be amended by the addition of a new
provision requiring applicants for variances or special
exception uses in floodways to obtain a Conditional
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from FEMA. A complete list
of proposed amendments is attached to this report.
Planning Commission public hearing was held on October
13, 1993. Mr. John Marlles, Agent and Mr. John Peters,
Civil Engineer, summarized the requested amendments. Mr.
Marlles noted that the changes were being mandated by
FEMA as a condition to the City's continued participation
in the National Flood Insurance Program. There was no
one in the audience to speak in support or opposition to
the request.
II. Issues:
A. Legal
B. Life, Health and Safety
C. Cost
III. Alternatives:
Recommend that the Citv's Flood Plain Ordinance be
revised to incorporate the proposed changes.
Legal requirements for remaining a participating
community in the National Flood Insurance Program
will be met.
2. Life, health and safety of the public would be
enhanced.
3. Cost to the City would be negligible.
Do not recommend any revisions to the City's Flood Plain
Ordinance:
Legal requirements to remain in the National Flood
Insurance Program will not be met, thereby
jeopardizing future participation.
Life, health and safety of public would remain at
current level of protection.
Cost to the City is not an issue, however, lack of
National Flood Insurance could be substantial to
City property owners.
IV. Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Price absent)
recommended that the proposed amendments summarized in Section
I.C. be approved and forwarded to City Council.
Respectfully submitted,

Floodplain Zoning Regulations
Sec. 36.1-360. Intent.
The intent of the regulations in this division is to prevent
the loss of property and life, the creation of health and safety
hazards, the disruption of commerce and governmental services, the
extraordinary and unnecessary expenditure of public funds for flood
protection and relief, and the impairment of the tax base by:
(a) Regulating uses, activities and development which, acting
alone or in combination with other existing or future uses,
activities and development, if unregulated, will cause unacceptable
increases in flood heights, velocities and frequencies;
(b) Restricting or prohibiting certain uses, activities, and
development from locating within areas subject to flooding;
(c) Requiring all those uses, activities, and developments
that do occur in flood-prone areas to be protected and/or flood-
proofed against flood and flood damage; and
(d) Protecting individuals from buying lands and structures
which are unsuited for intended purposes because of flood hazards.
(Ord. No. 28611, S 2, 4-27-87)
Sec. 36.1-361. Floodplain management regulations; definitions.
For the purpose
division, certain terms
follows:
of the regulations prescribed in this
and words used herein shall be defined as
Base flood/100-year flood: A flood that, on the average is
likely to occur once every one hundred (100) years (i.e., that has
a one (1) percent chance of occurring each year, although the flood
may occur in any year).
Base flood elevation: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
designated 100-year water surface elevation. --.~ - ~ ^ ,~ ~--~
Channel: A perceptible natural or artificial waterway which
periodically or continuously contains moving water confined to a
definite bed and banks.
Development: Any manmade change to improved or unimproved
real estate including, but not limited to, buildings or other
structure, the placement of manufactured homes, streets, and other
paving, utilities, filling, grading, excavation, mining, dredging,
or drilling operations, or storage of equipment and/or materials.
Flood: A general and temporary inundation of normally dry
land areas.
Floodplain:
A relatively flat or low land area adjoining a river,
stream, or watercourse which is subject to partial or
complete inundation; or
(2) An area subject to the unusual and rapid accumulation of
run-off of surface water from any source.
Floodway: The designated area of the floodplain required to
carry and discharge floodwaters from the 100-year magnitude flood.
Historic structures:
(a) Listed individually on the National Register of Historic
Places or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior
as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National
Registrar;
(b) Certified or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of
the Interior as contributing to the historical significance of a
district on the National Register of Historic Places or a district
preliminarily determined by the Secretary to qualify as a National
Register Historic District;
(c) Individually listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register or
determined eligible by the Virginia Department of Historic
Resources for such Register; or
(d) Individually listed on the City inventory of historic
places or as determined eligible for such inventory by the Roanoke
City Architectural Review Board.
Lowest floor: The lowest floor includes the lowest enclosed
area (including basement) of any structure. An unfinished or flood
resistance enclosure usable solely for parking of vehicles,
building access, or storage, in an area other than a basement area,
is not considered a building's lowest floor, provided that such
enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation
of the applicable nonelevation design requirements of this
subdivision.
Substantial damage: Damage of any origin sustained by a
structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before
damaged condition would equal or exceed fifty (50) percent of the
market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
Substantial improvement: Any repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of a structure which is not a historic structure, the
cost of which equals or exceeds fifty (50) percent of the market
value of the structure either before the improvement or repair is
started, or if the structure has been damaged and is being
restored, before the damage occurred. For the purpose of this
definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when
the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structur-
al part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration
affects the external dimensions of the structure.
Watercourse: A natural or artificial channel for passage of
running water fed from natural sources in a definite channel and
discharging into some stream or body of water. (Ord. No. 30839,
1-21-92)
Editor's note--Ord. No. 30839, adopted Jan 21, 1992, repealed former S
36.1-361 - 36.1-368, which pertained to floodplain zone regulations and derived
from Ord. No. 28611, S 2, adopted Apr. 27, 1987. Ord. No. 30839 enacted new
provisions as ~ 36.1-361 - 36.1-371 to read as herein set out.
Sec. 36.1-362. Establishment of floodplain areas.
for the purpose of the regulations prescribed in this
division, there are hereby created various floodplain areas subject
to inundation by waters of the 100-year flood. The basis for the
delineation of the floodway and the flood-fringe shall be the flood
insurance study for the City of Roanoke prepared by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration,
dated July 2, 1992, and as amended. A copy of the flood insurance
study, city drainage standards and accompanying maps, as amended,
shall be filed in the offices of the city clerk and the city
engineer. The floodplain areas shall consist of the following:
(1)
The floodway is delineated, for purposes of these
regulations, using the criterion that certain areas
within the floodplain must be capable of carrying the
waters of the 100-year flood without increasing the water
surface elevation of that flood more than one (1) foot at
any point. These floodways are specifically defined in
Table 2 of the above-referenced flood insurance study and
shown on the accompanying Flood
(2)
The flood-fringe shall be that area of the 100-year
floodplain not included in the floodway. The basis for
the outermost boundary of the flood-fringe shall be the
100-year flood elevations contained in the flood profiles
or Table 2 of the above-referenced flood insurance study
and as shown on the accompanying Flood
~ ~ ~A~ ..... I~sUra~e Rat Map i
(3) The approximated floodplain shall be that floodplain area
for which no detailed flood profiles or elevations are
provided and with a total contributing drainage area in
excess of one hundred (100) acres. If the specific 100-
year flood elevation cannot be determined for this area
using other sources of data, such as the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Floodplain Information Reports, U.S.
Geological survey Flood-Prone Quadranges, etc., then the
applicant for the proposed use, development and/or
activity shall determine this elevation in accordance
with hydrologic and hydraulic engineering techniques.
Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses shall be undertaken
only by the applicant's professional engineers who shall
certify that the technical methods used correctly reflect
currently accepted technical concepts. (Refer to City of
Roanoke Drainage Standards Manual.) Studies, analyses,
computations, etc., shall be submitted in sufficient
detail to allow a thorough review by the city engineer.
(Ord. No. 30839, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
Sec. 36.1-363. Application.
(a) The floodplain areas described above shall be overlays to
the existing underlying zoning districts as shown on the official
zoning map, and as such, the provisions for the floodplain areas
shall serve as a supplement to the underlying zoning district
provisions; furthermore:
(1)
Where there happens to be any conflict between the
provisions or requirements of any of the floodplain areas
and those of the underlying zoning district, the more
restrictive provisions shall apply;
(2)
In the event any provision concerning a floodplain area
is declared to be inapplicable as a result of any
legislative or administrative actions or judicial
discretion, the basic underlying zoning district provi-
sions shall remain applicable.
(b) The boundaries of the floodplain areas previously
described are established as shown on the Flood ~ .... ~ ...... ~
........ Y:~:::~:~s~:e::::::~e Map which is declared to be a part of these
regulati0hS ~h~ ~hi~h Shall be kept on file at the office of the
city clerk and/or the city engineer.
(c) The delineation of any of the floodplain areas described
in section 36.1-362 may be revised by the city council where
natural or manmade changes have occurred and/or where more detailed
studies have been conducted or undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers or other qualified agency, or an individual documents the
need for such change. However, prior to any such change, approval
must be obtained from the Federal Insurance Administration. ~" thc
(d) Interpretations of the boundaries of the floodplain areas
described in section 36.1-362 shall be made by the zoning adminis-
trator. Interpretations by the zoning administrator may be ap-
pealed to the board of zoning appeals in a manner as provided for
in section 36.1-654.
(e) No land or use shall hereafter be developed within the
floodplain areas, and no structure shall be located, relocated,
constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, or structurally altered,
except in full compliance with the terms and provisions of these
regulations and any other applicable ordinances and regulations
which apply to uses within the jurisdiction of these regulations.
(f) Filling in those portions of the flood-fringe area that
contribute to bypass flooding shall be permitted in accordance with
the regulations as set forth herein. (Ord. No. 30839, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
Sec. 36.1-364. Floodplain development regulations.
(a) Ail uses, activities, and development occurring within
any floodplain areas shall be undertaken only upon the issuance of
a special permit by the zoning administrator. Such development
shall be undertaken only in strict compliance with the provisions
of these regulations and with all other applicable codes and
ordinances.
(b) Prior to any proposed alteration of or relocation of any

Engineers, who in turn, will notify the Virginia State Water
Control Board and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission.
Further notification by the applicant of a multijurisdictional
proposal shall be given to all adjacent Jurisdictions, the Division
of Soil and Water Conservation (Department of Conservation and
Recreation), and the Federal Insurance Administration. Copies of
such notifications shall be provided to the zoning administrator
for his records.
(c) All applications for development in the floodplain and
all special permits issued for the floodplain shall include a
standard FEMA elevation certificate completed by a licensed
surveyor or engineer. For all permits, the zoning administrator
shall:
Obtain the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of
the lowest floor of all proposed new or substantially
improved structures, and whether or not such structures
contain a basement;
(2)
Obtain, if the structure will be floodproofed, the
elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which the
structure will be floodproofed;
(3) Maintain a record of all such information.
(4)
Where a nonresidential structure is intended to be made
watertight below the base flood level, the following
shall apply:
a. A registered professional engineer or architect
shall develop and/or review structural design,
specifications, and plans for the construction, and
shall certify that the design and methods of con-
struction are in accordance with accepted standards
of practice for meeting the applicable provisions
of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code,
and
b. A record of such certificates which include the
specific elevation (in relation to mean sea level)
to which such structures are floodproofed shall be
maintained by the zoning administrator.
(d) All manufactured homes or mobile homes to be placed or
substantially improved within the flood-fringe shall be placed on
a permanent foundation and anchored in accordance with the Virginia
Uniform Statewide Building Code.
(e) In the floodway, no encroachments, including fill, new
construction, substantial improvements, rehabilitation of struc-
tures which have sustained substantial damage, and other develop-
ment, shall be permitted unless the applicant's professional
engineer demonstrates through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practices that
the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in the
100-year flood elevation. The requirements of section 36.1-364,
paragraphs (d) and (f), shall apply to encroachments permitted by
this section.
(f) In the flood-fringe and approximated floodplain, the
development or use of land shall be permitted in accordance with
the regulations as set forth herein, provided that all such uses,
activities, and/or development shall be undertaken in strict
compliance with the flood-proofing and related provisions contained
in the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and all other
applicable codes and ordinances. Provided further that the lowest
habltablo floor of any structure shall be elevated to a minimum of
two (2) feet above the base flood, or, when allowed in the Virginia
Uniform Statewide Building Code, must be floodproofed to two (2)
feet above the base flood.
(g) Within the approximated floodplain, the applicant's
professional engineer shall also delineate a floodway based on the
requirements that all existing and future development not increase
the 100-year flood elevation more than one (1) foot at any one (1)
point. The engineering principle (equal reduction of conveyance)
shall be used to make the determination of increased flood heights.
Within the floodway area delineated by the applicant's professional
engineer, the provision of subsection (e) above shall apply. (Ord.
No. 30839, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.

district:
(1) Structures accessory to the uses and activities in (1)
and (2) of section 36.1-365.
(2)
Certain public utilities and public facilities and
improvements such as above ground pipe lines, water and
sewage treatment plants, and other similar or related
uses.
(3) Water-related uses and activities such as docks, wharves,
piers, etc.
(4) Excavation of materials (where no increase in level of
flooding or velocity is caused thereby.)
(5)
Storage of materials and equipment provided that they are
not buoyant, flammable or explosive, and are not subject
to major damage by flooding, or provided that such
material and equipment is firmly anchored to prevent
flotation or movement, and/or can be readily removed from
the area within the time available after flood warning.
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
Other similar uses and activities provided they cause no
increase in flood heights and/or velocities. All uses,
activities and structural development, shall be undertak-
en in strict compliance with the floodproofing provisions
contained in all other applicable codes and ordinances.
(Ord. No. 30839, 1-21-92)
Sec. 36.1-367. Design criteria for public utilities and
facilities.
(a) Ail new or replacement sanitary sewer facilities and
private package sewage treatment plants (including all pumping
stations and collector systems) shall be designed to minimize
infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharges from
the systems into the flood waters. In addition, they must be
located and constructed to minimize flood damage and impairment.
(b) Ail new or replacement potable water facilities shall be
designed to eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system
and be located and constructed to minimize flood damages.
(c) All storm drainage facilities shall be designed to convey
the flow of surface waters without damage to persons or property.
The systems shall ensure drainage away from buildings and on-site
waste disposal sites. The City of Roanoke may require a primarily
underground system to accommodate frequent floods and a secondary
surface system to accommodate larger, less frequent floods.
Drainage plans shag be consistent with local and regional drainage
plans. The facilities shall be designed to prevent the discharge
of excess runoff onto adjacent properties.
(d) Ail other utilities, such as gas lines, electrical and
telephone systems being placed in floodprone areas should be
located, elevated (where possible), and constructed to minimize the
chance of impairment during a flood occurrence.
(e) Streets, drainage opens and sidewalks should be designed
to prevent increasing flood levels by more than one (1) foot.
(Ord. No. 30839, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
See. 36.1-368. Existing structures in the floodplain.
A structure or use of a structure or premises which lawfully
existed before the enactment of these provisions, but which is not
in conformity with these provisions, may be continued subject to
the following conditions:
Existing structures and/or uses located in the Floodway
shall not be expanded or enlarged, unless the effect of
the proposed expansion or enlargement of flood heights is
fully offset by accompanying stream or channel improve-
ments.
(2)
Amy modification, alteration, repair, reconstruction, or
improvement of any kind to a structure and/or use located
in a floodplain to an extent or amount less than fifty
(50) percent of its market value, shall be elevated
and/or floodproofed in accordance with the Virginia
Uniform Statewide Building Code to the greatest extent
possible.
(3) For the purpose of this chapter, the modification,
alteration, repair, reconstruction, or improvement of any
kind to a structure and/or use, regardless of its
location in a floodplain area to an extent or amount of
fifty (50) percent or more of its market value shall be
undertaken only in full compliance with the provisions of
the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. (Ord. No.
30839, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
Sec. 36.1-369. Variances.
When an application for a variance has been made, the
procedure for processing the variance request shall be that as set
forth in section 36.1-654.
(1)
No variance shall be granted for any proposed use,
development, or activity within any floodway that will
cause any increase in the 100-year flood elevation.

In passing upon applications for floodplain variances the
board of zoning appeals shall consider the following:
The danger to life and property due to increased
flood heights or velocities caused by encroachment.
The danger that materials may be swept onto other
lands or downstream to the injury of others.
The proposed water supply and sanitation systems
and the ability of these systems to prevent dis-
ease, contamination, and unsanitary conditions.
The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its
contents to flood damage and the effect of such
damage on the individual owners.
The importance of the services provided by the
proposed facility to the community.
The requirements of the facility for a waterfront
location.
The availability of alternative locations not
subject to flooding for the proposed use.
The compatibility of the proposed use with existing
development and development anticipated in the
foreseeable future.
The relationship of the proposed use to the compre-
hensive plan and floodplain management program for
the city.
The safety of access by ordinary and emergency
vehicles to the property in time of flood.
The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of
rise, and sediment transport of the flood water
expected at the site.
All other relevant factors.
(3)
The board of zoning appeals may forward any application
and accompanying documentation pertaining to any request
for a variance to the city engineer or other qualified
person or state or federal agency for technical assis-
tance in evaluating the proposed project in relation to
flood heights and velocities, and the adequacy of the
plans for flood protection and other related matters.
(4)
Variances shall be issued only after the board of zoning
appeals has determined that the granting of such variance
will not result in (a) prohibited increases in flood
heights, (b) additional threats to public safety, (c)
extraordinary public expense, and will not (d) create
nuisances, (e) cause victimization of the public, or (f)
conflict with city laws or ordinances.
(5)
Variances shall be issued only after the board of zoning
appeals has determined that the variance will be the
minimum required to provide relief from any hardship to
the applicant.
(6)
The board of zoning appeals shall notify the applicant
for a variance, in writing within ten (10) days of the
public hearing, that the issuance of a variance to
construct a structure below the 100-year flood elevation:
(a) increases the risks to life and property, and (b)
will result in increased premium rates for flood insur-
ance.
(7) A record of the above notification as well as all
variance actions, including justification for their
issuance, shall be maintained by the zoning administrator
and any variances shall be notified in the annual or
biennial report of the city submitted to the federal
insurance administrator. (Ord. No. 30829, 1-21-92)
Note--See the editor's note following S 36.1-361.
Sec. 36.1-370. Procedure for variances and special exception uses
in floodways.
Ail applications for variance or a special exception use in
any floodway as defined herein, shall include the following:
(1)
Plans in triplicate drawn to scale not less than one (1)
inch to one hundred (100) feet horizontally showing the
location, dimensions, and contours (at five-foot inter-
vals) of the lot, existing and proposed structures, fill,
storage areas, water supply, sanitary facilities, and
relationship of the floodway to the proposal.
(2)
A typical valley cross-section as necessary to adequately
show the channel of the stream, elevation of land areas
adjoining each side of the channel, cross-sectional areas
to be occupied by the proposed development, and 100-year
flood elevation.
(3) A profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel
or flow line of the stream.
(4)
A summary report, prepared by professional engineers or
others of demonstrated qualifications, evaluating the
proposed project in relation to flood heights and
velocities; the seriousness of flood damage to the use;
and other pertinent technical matters.
(5) A list of names, addresses and official tax
adjoining property owners. (Ord. No. 30839,

City Manager
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mr. Herbert:
At a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Roanoke held on Monday,
November 1, 1993, the following persons addressed Council with regard to the
Second Street Bridge Project:
Richard C. Maxwell, Vice- Chairperson of the Roanoke Arts Commission,
called attention to the opportunity to connect the Virginia Museum of
Transportation to downtown Roanoke, and advised of the interest of the
Roanoke Arts Commission in playing an active role in the creation of a
raft/art park or art walk that would be similar to the San Antonio River
Walk.
Katherine Houck, Executive Director, Virginia Museum of
Transportation, encouraged Council to support further study of the
pedestrian bridge and the Second Street Bridge to include a rail/art
park which could provide a'unique marriage of the arts and
transportation.
John J. Roberts, Director of Development of the Art Museum of Western
Virginia, concurred in remarks of Mr. Maxwell and expressed support
of the Art Museum of Western Virginia.
You were requested to meet with the abovenamed individuals to discuss
concerns and report to Council accordingly.
Sincerely, _/~~
