Dear Members of Council:
I just wanted to provide for your information the enclosed News Release dated May 10, 1995,
from The Roanoke Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau. It indicates that the number of
convention attendees visiting Roanoke over the last couple of years has almost doubled, that the
number of visitors checking in at our Information Center on the City Market has increased by
6,000 persons in just one year (approximately an increase of 17,000 over the last three years),
and that the economic impact of tourism in our City has tripled from $8,000,000 to $25,000,000
in just the last couple of years.
These are tremendous statistics indicating that our tourism initiative has been, and will continue
to be, successful.
Thank you for your support.
I ask that this correspondence be placed on the Consent Agenda and thereafter be merely received
and filed.

Convention attendees nearly doubled during the past year
while their economic impact nearly tripled, tourism leaders said
as they announced that the Roanoke Valley has received the
coveted Virginia Tourism Program accreditation.
Tourism is a "treasure trove of economic opportunity in your
back yard. But regionalism will be the key to future tourism
growth," said Beverly Fitzpatrick, Jr., executive director of the
New Century Council and keynote speaker at the Virginia Heritage
Tourism Weeks news conference May 10.
· Figures released showed that 41,757 convention attendees
visited Roanoke during 1993-94 compared to 22,660 in 1992-93. The
economic impact during 1993-94 was $25,232,355 compared to
$8,856,000 during 1992-93.
Convention bookings nearly doubled, from 24 to 42 during the
last year, according to Martha Mackey, executive director of the
Roanoke Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau. Total convention
room nights increased from 19,270 during 1992-93 to 32,322 during
1993-94.

Tourism
The number of visitors to the Roanoke Valley Visitors
Information Center rose from 39,234 during 1993 to 45,714 during
1994.
Tax revenues to the Roanoke Valley increased from
$10,373,909 during 1992-93 to $11,326,077 during 1993-94.
Said Mackey, "Three factors will cause these economic impact
figures to increase this year. First, the opening of the Hotel
Roanoke and Conference Center. Second, the fact that we have
three convention sales people this year instead of one. And
third, Roanoke will receive special promotional consideration
from the state since we have passed its stringent tourism
accreditation program."
Roanoke's Accreditation Committee has worked since 1992 to
secure the designation by meeting standards in five areas
including the tourism promotion organization, situation analysis
and improvement plan, tourism information and promotion, existing
tourism industry program and "capstone" simulation exercise.
Completing the program will result in a special promotional
designation from the state, according to Catherine Fox, tourism
development manager. Accreditation also assigns a priority status
to Roanok~ ae the state reco-~nds destinations to tour
operators, travel agents and travel writers.

Tourism
In addition to earning the accreditation status, the
Roanoke Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau also is coming off a
year of "firsts," according to President Gerald Carter.
"Last year was our first full year of strategic plan
activity. Our organization has created a firm foundation for the
future of tourism in the Roanoke Valley," Carter said. "We were
the first in Virginia to create a cooperative regional meeting
planners' guide and the first to create a hologram advertisement
which produced 100 inquiries in the first printing."
A poster of the hologram -- which some people see
immediately while others are still searching -- is for sale for
$10 at the Downtown Visitors Center.
Fitzpatrick also announced that Catherine Fox and Granger
MacFarlane have been appointed to attend America's first White
House Conference on Travel & Tourism.
The purpose of the conference is to increase the
understanding and appreciation of the importance of travel and
tourism and recommend strategies and programs that will best
enable the industry to fulfill its economic potential into the
21st Century.
The c~eren~e will focus on nine areas: product
development, technology, facilitation/reduction of barriers,
research, promotion, infrastructure development,
education/training, environmental concerns and traveler safety
and security. More

Tourism
The conference also will encourage partnerships among
tourism, historic preservation groups, Main Street communities
and local governments as heritage tourism grows in importance,
Carter said.
Dr. John Kern cited the renovation of Hotel Roanoke as an
example of heritage tourism demonstrating that "history is good
for business." For example, renovation of the Roanoke City
Market Historic District has stimulated more than $300 million in
investment since 1982. ~
Kern, director of the Roanoke Regional Preservation Office,
said the marketplace has shown that historic preservation
supports not only itself, it also provides economic benefits to
surrounding properties.
Special awards capped off the news conference.
John Poff of Krisch Hotels was honored as one of the first
board members of the bureau, "an important contributor who had a
lot to do with our growth," according to Mackey.
E. C. Warren, owner and manager of the Roanoker Restaurant
received the "Golden Star Award" for exceptional service to the
tourism industry.
Judy Gr£emenbro~k, executive vice president of the Salem-
Roanoke County Cb-mher of Commerce, was presented with the
"TourlsmAmbassador" award.
Hugh Brown was recognized for his long volunteer hours at
the Visitors Center. ###

Dear Mayor Bowers:
We are pleased to notify you that your annual component unit finan-
cial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 qualifies
for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of
recognition in Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) accounting
and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a signifi-
cant accomplishment by a PERS and its management.
When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded to a PERS, an
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement is also presented to the
individual designated by the PERS as primarily responsible
for its having earned the certificate. Enclosed is an Award of
Financial Reporting Achievement for: Joyce Sparks,
Retirement Accountant.
The Certificate of Achievement plaque will be shipped under sepa-
rate cover in about eight weeks. We hope that you will arrange for
a formal presentation of the Certificate and Award of Financial
Reporting Achievement, and that appropriate publicity will be
given to this notable achievement. To assist with this, a sample
news release and the 1994 Certificate Program results are enclosed.
We hope that your example will encourage other PERS officials in
their efforts to achieve and maintain an appropriate standard of
excellence in financial reporting.
Sincerely,

ROANOH!~ VALLNY PRESER~AT±ON POUN~AT!0N
Statement of Roanoke Valley Preservation Po~dation regarding
the decision by the Roanoke City School Board, to raze the front
portion of Jaekson Junior High School:
The Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation supports the pres-
ervation and adaptive use of all b~storically significant buildings
and landmarks wherever possible.
Jackson Junior High, built in 1923, fits the criteria of an
historic building having significance not only to the local South-
east community but in the educational building tradition of' the
entire Roanoke City school system. Therefore, the Roanoke Valley
Preservation Foundation recommends that Roanoke City continue its
fine program of school restoration and not raze Jackson Junior High.
W: share the concerns that have been raised by the c~tizens of
Southeast. We were also unaware of the proposal to remove the
older part of the school.
The Hoanoke Valley Preservation Foundation asks that Roanoke
City Council reconsider this project and not allocate funds for the
proposed contract to remove the front part of the structure.
Many lingering questions need to be considered; Some of them
are:
1. The budgetary cost of restoration vs. replacement with a
new building.
2. Why the public was seemingly unaware of t~e proposed razing
of part of Jackson Junior Nigh.
3. Whether a second opinion can be obtained from another
architect.
4. What the loss of the historic front of Jackson Junior High
will mean to the Southeast community in terms of its cohesiveness,
identity and sense of place.
5. Why it was feasible to restore several other school bu{ld-
ings and not Jackson Junior High.
(A statement from the 30-member board of the foundation)
Gzcrgc =K*,~lay~4~.~i~A~n~ -
I am here on the subject of Jackson Middle School. We, the
people of Southeast, didn't know that renovation meant
demolition. We trusted the people we elected to do what they
said would be done. We had seen the other schools that had
been renovated and we thought we were getting the same.
Renovation not demolition.
I think some people have been lead to believe that it cannot
be done. Anything can be done if we set our mind on it. I
would like to clear up one thing. We are not trying to stop any
funding for the school. We are not trying to keep the children
from getting an education. We are trying to save something
that belongs to us. We, the real people of Southeast, have
feelings for the old school. My wife's family together with our
own family have a total of 39 years at that school. In fact my
wife and I met at the school. She had the day off from
Jefferson and I played hookie to walk them home. That was
50 years ago, so you can see that we had bad kids in those days
as well. Garden City and Riverdale were not part of
Southeast until years later. Jackson does not hold as much
meaning to them.
Mr. Kelley made the remark that Jackson has a 20%
dropout rate and that 60% of the children attending Jackson
receive free lunch and the lowest of this and the lowest of that.
Back in my day all Jackson students were looked down on.
When you said Jackson or Southeast, you had to prove you
were as good or better. Changing the name or tearing down
the school won't change the image. But if we put in a school
board that was elected by the people, for the people, I feel the
image will change.
Jackson and Southeast Roanoke, have produced alot of
good people; Teachers, Principals, Doctors, Lawyers, and
many other Business people. Not to mention football and
basketball players.
So let's SAVE history at all costs.
Ail we hear is that this can't be done. We don't know
what's there. We never tried to save the school. We saved
downtown and all the building fronts. Why not save the
school? I think there is one person who wants it torn down. It
has taken six years to get a road around town. We tried to
make a few people happy. Why not make a few people happy
in Southeast?
I think we need to stop, take a look at what we have done to
Southeast. The city has said give us all federal assistance
programs and we will help these people. Now where do we
put them? In Southeast, and Northwest, not Southwest or
South Roanoke.
I hope the City Council and the School Board members will
remember you are asking for more bond money in the future.
I feel sure alot of people will remember at election time. The
percentage of people who voted on 11/8/94, in Southeast, was
66.1%.
I own two buildings on Warehouse Row. You are sending
me the message, if it doesn't work, tear it down. You have to
remember, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Last, alot of people I talk to in Southeast have told me why
fight? We have and never will have the clout to win. Let's
prove them wrong.
I am not an alumni or Stonewall Jackson, I did not grow up in S.E. Roanoke, but my parents as well as my
children are alumni and they did grow up and are still living in S.E. Roanoke. As a member of this community,
I am deeply concerned with the "razing" of the original building of Stonewall Jackson. I as well as many others
were given the impression that the school would be "renovated" as stated in the Roanoke Times, May 18, 1994
and presented to us at the school meeting last November. I can not quote the speakers at the meeting but I can
list a quote that appeared in the above Roanoke Times article, "Jackson Middle School in Southeast Roanoke
would be the first to be renovated, at an estimated cost of $5.25 million.. It would be followed by Addison,
Breckinridge, and Woodrow Wilson middle schools." I decided maybe myself along with hundreds of other
people just had the definition of "renovation" mixed up, so I decided to look the definition up in the dictionary.
The definition of the word "renovation" is as follows: to restore to an earlier condition. My interpertation of the
definition is the same. Jackson may not be the most beautiful piece of architecture in the community, but it is one
of the few pieces of heritage left to our S.E community.
I too am mainly interested in the safety and educational quality for our children, one of which is mine. In a
conversation with Mr. Dick Kelly today, I was told that his main objective is the same as my own and he wished
that Jackson could be saved but it was unsafe and all the benefits of other schools such as Botetourt and Franklin
County could not be instilled in the building we now have. Mr. Kelly said one of his concerns was the lead and
asbestos levels and where they may lie in the building. I have to wonder why if schools such as Crystal Spring
built in 1922, Highland Park built in 1906, Moriningside built in 1928, or Virginia Heights built in 1915, were
able to be renovated and supposeably all the lead and asbestos was found and removed.. I also asked about the
three other middle schools that are due to be "renovated" and I use that word loosely, if they would also be
"razed" and was told that he could not give many any kind of commitment at this time.
In researching the statistics that Mr. Kelly has listed in the paper and at the School Board meeting, I do, in
my opinion, find several discrepancies. Number one is the drop out rate. I am not going to quote the percent
but I do believe that it was in the 20 percentile range. I find this hard to believe because I have "school reports"
stating the drop-out rate for the entire city is under 10%. The statement about the literacy passport testing and
Jackson having such low test scores, again I disagree. According the "school report" the test scores are as
follows:
Percent of 6th grade students who passed all three Literacy Passport tests.
Woodrow Wilson: 78%
Breckinridge: 69%
Stonewall Jackson: 62%
Addison: 55% (magnet)
Ruffner: 46% (magnet)
As you see Jackson is far from being the lowest scores. And I wonder why if Jackson is so academically
impeded, then explain please the high number of students that leave there and enter the honors program at
Patrick Henry, or why the O.M team 2 years went to the world competition and placed in the top 10 of the
world.
There are many unanswered questions concerning the "renovation" of Stonewall Jackson. I would like
to know the names of the 10 people who served on the so called "building committee" that was appointed
by city officials. I would also like to see the minutes concerning this committee with all the "neighborhood"
input. I was told by someone offthe record that the "building committee" never met the first time maybe that's
why no one can produce the minutes.
Sometimes I wonder why Southeast is always thought of so negatively. I live in the Jackson neighborhood
and I choose to live here. S.E has come along way through the years and I hope it will go even farther in the
years
to come. Why can't our neighborhood be known as "oldSE.." as Southwest ~s,' I guarantee you that if Jackson
was in "Old S.W." there would be no argument about tearing down our heritage. Look out Gainsboro, the
wrecking ball is knocking on Addison's backdoor.

Re: Mill Mountain Sculpture
Dear Mayor Bowers and Council Members:
The Sister Cities Sculpture Committee of the City of Roanoke
Arts Commission has been considering the possibility of a piece of
sculpture to be located on Mill Mountain to commemorate the Sister
Cities Program. The sculpture would be placed in connection with
the three Sister Cities trees that have been planted on Mill
Mountain. The intent of the sculpture would be to draw attention
to the Sister Cities Program and beautify the natural surroundings
of the mountain. The City of Roanoke Arts Commission has discussed
this concept with representatives of the Mill Mountain Development
Committee, the Sister Cities group, Mill Mountain Zoo, the
Wildflower Garden and City of Roanoke Parks and Recreation
Department.
I am requesting that this idea be referred to the City Manager
for his review and analysis and report back to City Council. I am
sure the City Manager will want to consider, as part of his review,
funding, selection procedures, location, site preparation and
maintenance issues.
Very truly yours,
JSE/f

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: Fund Appropriations - Personnel Lapse Report
I. Background on the subiect is as follows:
Personnel lapse is generated due to employee turnover and vacancies
in City departments.
For the current Fiscal Year, salary savings of $755,000 are projected
as a result of these vacancies.
II*
Current Situation is as follows:
To provide timely information to City Council and increase administrative
efficiency, the status of lapse was reported quarterly to City Council for
the first 2 quarters as a Consent Agenda item. This quarterly report
will provide a budget ordinance that encompasses all quarters, eliminates
the budgeted lapse amount and adjusts affected departmental operating
budgets.
B. First Quarter net personnel lapse generated was $260,738.
C. Second Quarter net personnel lapse generated was $263,030.
Third Quarter Actual and Fourth Quarter estimated personnel lapse generated
is $231,232. This funding will be allocated as shown on Attachment "A"
of this report.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
A. Funding
B. Timing
Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
A. Authorize the transfer of personnel lapse funds from departmental accounts
to personnel lapse account 001-002-9410-1090 as listed on Attachment
"A" of this report.
1. Funding is available in the salary accounts due to turnover and
vacancies in City departments.
2. Timing is important since funds need to be transferred prior to
June 30, 1995.
B. Do not authorize the transfer of personnel lapse funds from departmental
accounts to personnel lapse account 001-002-9410-1090 as listed on Attachment
"A" of this report.
1. Funding would remain in departmental budgets and salary lapse savings
would not be transferred to salary lapse account 001-002-9410-1090.
2. Timing is not an issue
Recommendation:
City Council concur in Alternative A and authorize the transfer of funding
from departmental accounts to personnel lapse account 001-002-9410-1090
as listed on Attachment A.
Respectfully Submitted,

officers, agents and employees, from any and all claims, liability, muses of
actions, suits of any nature, costs, expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
resulting from or arising out of the Subgrantee's intentional or negligent acts or
omissions in providing the services under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, fines and penalties, violation of federal, state or local laws, or
regulations promulgated thereunder, personal injury, wrongful death or property
damage claims.

IV. Alternatives:

Authorize the City_ Manager to execute a grant agreement with NNEO for the
purchase of two vacant houses located at 803 and 809 Gilmer Avenue N.W., such
agreement to be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and approve
transferring a total of $39.460 of HOME funds, as follows:
$19,966 from 1993 HOME CHDO account 035-052-5301-5238
to 1993 HOME NNEO account 035-052-5301-5272
$19,494 from 1994 HOME CHDO account 035-052-5302-5238
to 1994 HOME NNEO account 035-052-5302-5272
Consistency with the City's Comorehensive Housing Affordabilitv Strategy
(CHAS) will be achieved since this document recommends rehabilitation
of substandard properties and the provision of homeownership
opportunities; and both these activities are included as eligible activities
in the City's HOME Program Description.
2. Cost to City will be $19.966 in 1993 and $19.494 in 1994 HOME funds.
3. Funding is available in the following HOME accounts:
035-052-5301-5238 (19,966)
035-052-5302-5238 (19,494)
* Page 3 *
Administrative capacity of NNEO has been shown by the many successful
community development projects it has administered in the past eleven
years. NNEO is currently receiving CHDO operating funds from the City
for the 1994-1995 fiscal year.
Do not authorize the City Manager to execute a erant agreement with NNEO for
the purchase of two vacant houses located at 803 and 809 Gilmer Avenue N.W.
and transfer the appropriate funds.
Consistency with the City's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CHAS) would not be an issue. No progress toward CHAS objectives
would be realized.
Cost to the City would be a loss of $19.966, if 1993 HOME funds
remaining uncommitted to projects are recaptured by HUD. City may also
lose potential tax revenue from lack of rehabilitation to owner-occupied
homes.
3. Funding would not be an issue.
4. Administrative capacity would not be an issue for this project.
V. Recommendation:
Adopt Alternative A thereby authorizing the City Manager to execute a grant aereement
with NNEO for the purchase of two vacant houses located at 803 and 809 Gilmer Avenue
N.W., such agreemem to be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and approve
transferring a total of $39.460 of HOME funds, as follows:
$19,966 from 1993 HOME CHDO account 035-052-5301-5238
to 1993 HOME NNEO account 035-052-5301-5272
$19,494 from 1994 HOME CHDO account 035-052-5302-5238
to 1994 HOME NNEO account 035-052-5302-5272

Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject:
Traffic Signals - Installation of New
Signals - Intersection of Hollins Road
and Old Mountain Road, N.E.
I. Background:
A. The intersection of Hollins Road and Old Mountain Road~
N.E., is a location justified for signalization in the
City of Roanoke.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) adopted by Council on
August 8, 1994, includes a project for the installation
of a new traffic signal at this intersection. Bond
referendum approved by voters on November 8, 1994
approved funding for the CIP.
II. Current Situation:
Traffic Signal plans are presently being developed. Upon
completion, these plans will enable the City to begin
material requisitions for items such as the traffic
signal controller and cabinet, as well as galvanized
poles with mast arms which usually require five (5)
months for fabrication and delivery. Related underground
conduit and pole base work, as well as roadway widening
for a turn lane, will need to be contracted out.
Schedule for completion of the Hollins Road and Old
Mountain Road installation is the end of 1995.
Funding in the amount of $150~000 needs to be established
in a capital account from the 1996 Bond Issue to enable
the above referenced purchases and future contracts.
It is the City's intent to reimburse front-funding with
bond funds upon issuance of the 1996 bonds. Internal
Revenue Service regulations (Section 1.150-2) require
that the City declare its intent to reimburse itself
$150~000 from the proceeds of its 1996 General Obligation
bonds.
Right-of-way will need to be

to be constructed. This consists of a 2,430 square foot
area for public right-of-way and an adjoining
5,314 square foot temporary construction easement (see
attached plat). It is desired to acquire this property
through donation, however, in the event that does not
occur, acquisition costs will not exceed $5,000.
I. Issues:
A. Traffic flow and safety
B. Funding
C. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
Appropriate $150~000 from the Streets and Sidewalks
Category of the 1996 Bond Issue into a new account in the
Capital Projects Fund entitled "Traffic Signals -
Installation of New Signals"
1. Traffic flow and safety will be improved at the
subject intersection.
Funding will be sufficient to cover all costs
associated with construction of the traffic signal.
3. Timing for completion is expected to occur by the
end of 1995.
Do not appropriate $150~000 from the 1996 Bond Issue to
a new capital account.
1. Traffic flow and safety would remain as they are
today.
2. Funding would be insufficient and therefore not
allow for signal installation.
3. Timing for completion would be unknown.
V. Recommendation is that City Council concur in Alternative "A"
and take the following specific actions:

intent to reimburse front funding with bond proceeds upon
sale of the 1996 bonds.
Authorize the acquisition of a 2,430 square foot area for
public right-of-way and an adjoining 5,314 square foot
temporary construction easement from Singer Furniture
Company (Tax No. 3140301) by making offers based on an
appraisal not to exceed $5~000 and providing for the City
Attorney to have authority to institute condemnation

Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: City-State Agreement for Peters Creek Rd. Extension
(Phase I-Melrose Ave. to Shenandoah Avenue)
I. Backqround:
City Council, at its meeting on June 17, 1985,
unanimously approved Resolution No. 27613 which requested
that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
program a project to extend Peters Creek Road from
Melrose Avenue, N.W. to Brandon Avenue, S.W. (see
Attachment I-map). This project, which is consistent
with the 1995-2015 Roanoke Valley Area Long Range
Transportation Plan, was subsequently included in VDOT's
Six-Year Highway Improvement Program.
Location Public Hearinq was held on December 14, 1988,
regarding the alternative alignments. Evaluation of
information received at that public hearing led the City
to seek VDOT's assistance in employing an individual to
lead a conflict resolution process consisting of
representatives from the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood
Associates, VDOT, and the City. City Council then
approved the alignment shown on Attachment I at its
meeting on March 5, 1990.
Purpose of this highway project is to provide for the
efficient and rapid movement of traffic between the north
and south ends of the western half of the City of
Roanoke. It will provide the only crossing of the
Roanoke River and Norfolk Southern Railway between
Shaffer's Crossing and Route 419. The improved access
will enhance mobility for emergency vehicles, City
services, economic development (as well as redevelopment)
and the general public. Traffic volumes are expected to
average 24,500 vehicles per day upon completion, and
average 37,260 vehicles per day in 2016. (Traffic volume
on existing Peters Creek Road, north of Melrose Avenue,
was 21,000 vehicles per day in 1994).
Proposed desiqn of the entire project consists of four
lanes along the 2.3 mile route. A median of varying
Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
No.95-142
Page 2
May 22, 1995
widths (3 to 16 feet) will be landscaped. Concrete curb
and gutter will be constructed along both sides of the
entire route. Sidewalk will be constructed along the
entire length of the east side of the roadway. The west
side will have sidewalk north of Salem Turnpike and south
of the new bridge over the Roanoke River.
The intersections of Peters Creek Road at Salem Turnpike,
Shenandoah Avenue and at Aerial Way Drive will be
signalized.
Speed limit will be signed at 40 miles per hour from
Melrose Avenue to the new bridge over the Roanoke River,
and then 35 miles per hour from that bridge to
Brandon Avenue.
City Council, at its meeting on July 13, 1992, approved
the major design features of the proposed project
(Ordinance No. 31104 - 071392). Commonwealth
Transportation Board approved the location and major
design features of the proposed project subsequent to
Council's approval.
II. Current Situation:
Bids for Phase I project construction (Melrose Avenue to
Shenandoah Avenue) were received by VDOT on
March 28, 1995. The Commonwealth Transportation Board
awarded a contract to English Construction Co., Inc. (of
Lynchburg, Virginia) on April 20, 1995, in the amount of
$9~561~590.39.
Peters Creek Road Extension (Phase II) from
Shenandoah Avenue to Brandon Avenue is tentatively
scheduled to be advertised for construction by the end of
1995. Also, Brandon Avenue widening from Edgewood Street
to Keagy Road is scheduled for advertisement in early
1996. Brandon Avenue widening will be completed before
the Peters Creek Road Extension is opened to
Brandon Avenue.
City needs to execute the attached City-State Agreement
(Attachment II) before VDOT will allow English
Construction Co., Inc. to begin construction.
Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
No.95-142
Page 3
May 22, 1995
City Share of the cost for this project (preliminary
engineering @ 5%, right-of-way @ 2%, and construction
@ 2%) is $642~965.69. The fourth page of Attachment II
shows the cost sharing ratios to be used on this project.
As of December 31, 1994, the City has already paid
$170~963.27 toward the above total for preliminary
engineering and right-of-way costs. This leaves a
balance of $472~002.42 needed for the City's share of the
remaining estimated costs.
Included within the project is additional replacement,
realignment and upgrade of existing water and sanitary
sewer lines that would not ordinarily have been done as
part of this roadway project. The betterment portion of
these improvements will be a City expense. Also, at the
City's request, some additional water and sewer lines are
in the process of being added to this project, with the
City participating in up to 100% of the cost. Therefore~
a change order to accomplish this work will need to be
presented to City Council for approval in the near
future. These water and sewer lines basically run
adjacent to the roadway improvements.
An additional $20~000 is needed for separate purchase of
three (3) new traffic signal controllers and cabinets
which will meet specialized City standards. These three
locations are the intersections of Peters Creek Road at
Melrose Avenue, at Salem Turnpike, and at
Shenandoah Avenue.

and sewer facilities, on behalf of the City; authorize
the Director of Finance to appropriate $283,474.26,
front-funded from the Streets and Sidewalks Category of
the 1996 Bond Issue, into the Peters Creek Road Extension
Account (No. 008-052-9595-9003); and appropriate
$31,589.79 from Water Fund Previous Years' Retained
Earnings and $176,938.37 from Sewage Fund Retained
Earnings to accounts to be established by the Director of
Finance.
Funding, in the amount of $492~002.42, exists in
the sources identified on Attachment III (Part B).
It is the City's intent to reimburse front-funding
with bond funds upon issuance of the 1996 bonds.
Internal Revenue Service regulations (Section
1.150-2) require that the City declare its intent
to reimburse itself $283,474.26 from the proceeds
of its 1996 General Obligation bonds.
2. Construction plans comply with City's needs for
improved traffic flow and safety.
o
Timing for project construction to begin is this
month. Project will require approximately two
years to complete.
Reject City-State Agreement and proceed to reimburse VDOT
for 100% of all expenditures to date in accordance with
City Resolution No. 27613.
Funding would be needed in the amount of the total
VDOT project expenditures to date, which is
$5,048,882.10 less the City share paid to date,
which results in a balance needed of $4,877,918.90.
2. Construction plans would not be built.
3. Timing is not an issue.
Recommendation is that City Council:
Authorize the City Manager, in a form acceptable to the
City Attorney, to execute the City- State Agreement on
behalf of the City.

The attached report was considered by City Council at its regular meeting on
January 23, 1995. The following property owners were included in the original
report; however, these owners each have more than one parcel over which the City
requires property rights, and only one tax number was listed for each. Without
City Council approval as to each parcel, acquisition of the needed property rights
cannot be concluded. Since these property owners have more than one parcel,
approval is needed for the additional tax numbers shown below.

Members, Water Resources Committee
Kit B. Kiser, Dire~:.t~_.~:ilities and Operations thru
W. Robert HerbeCt~C?[~ Manager
INFILTRATION/INFLOW (I/I) REDUCTION PROGRAM
Background on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
City of Roanoke, Roanoke County, City of Salem, Town of Vinton, and
Botetourt County received a Special Consent Order from the State Water
Control Board in June of 1992 to address the infiltration/inflow being
experienced at the Water Pollution Control Plant,
B. Sewershed Evaluation Plan was submitted to the State Water Control
Board on September 9, 1992. Correcting problems in six of the fifteen
sewersheds identified was deemed to be the most cost-effective and
would have the most significant impact on reducing I/I to the plant.
Consultant contract awarded at City Council's regular meeting of
March 8, 1993, included various desiqn services identified through the
sewershed infiltration/inflow (I/I) reduction studies. The contract
anticipated subsequent phases to be based on preliminary design studies.
Two Droiects previously under construction, PC-1 and PC-2, have been
comnleted.
II.
Current situation is as follows:
Six oroiects are currentlv under desion. Construction on some projects
could begin as early as March of 1995 if the necessary property rights
have been acquired.
The maioritv of the proposed construction will take place in existing
sanitary sewer easements. Some existing sanitary sewers are being
relocated to minimize impact to structures in the vicinity. These
situations'will require the acquisition of replacement easements. Also,
existing easements do not provide for the temporary use of adjacent
property for construction purposes (construction easements); therefore,
Members, Water Resources Committee
INFILTRATION/INFLOW (I/I) REDUCTION PROGRAM
January 9, 1995
Page 2
it is necessary for the City to acquire additional easement rights to
construct the projects.
Authorization is needed to move forward with title work, appraisals,
negotiations, and closings for acquisition of property rights. Property
rights to be acquired are permanent easements and construction
easement.
II1.
Issues in order of importance are as follows:
A. Need
B. Timing
C. Estimated cost
D. Funding
IV.
Alternatives in order of feasibility are as follows:
Committee recommends that City C~)uncil authorize the acquisition of all
ProPerty rights needed in connection with the six projects currently being
designed as shown on Attachment A and providing no insurmountable
environmental problems are encountered. Said property rights will be
permanent and temporary construction easements across property
identified in Attachments B, C, D, and E.
Need for property rights acquisition has been established by
design of I/I projects.
Timing of property rights acquisition is critical to avoid delay of
project schedules.
o
Estimated cost to acquire the necessary property rights totaling
$105.000 is further broken down in Attachment A.
Funding totaling $105,000 is available in the current Sewer Fund
Retained Earnings account and may be appropriated to an account
to be established by the Director of Finance entitled I/I Property
Rights Acquisition.
Committee does not recommend that City Council authorize the
acquisition of property rights.
Members, Water Resources Committee
INFILTRATION/INFLOW (I/I) REDUCTION PROGRAM
January 9, 1995
Page 3
,,
Need for property rights acquisition established by design of I/I
projects would not be met.
Timing would cause delay of projects if property rights are not
acquired.
Estimated cost would need to be reevaluated if the projects are
ever approved to proceed to the property rights acquisition stage.
Funding would remain in Sewer Fund Retained Earnings account.
Recommendation is as follows:
Committee recommends that City Council concur in Alternative "A" and take
the following action:
Authorize the acquisition of permanent and temporary construction
easements, as required, across property identified in Attachments B, C,
D, and E by making offers based on appraisals and institute
condemnation if necessary for the six I/I Projects shown on
Attachment A.

Appropriation of Funds for Demolition of Unsafe Buildings
Dilapidated buildines determined to be nublic nuisances and hazards are ordered by the
City to be demolished by their owners.
City nays for demolition if orooertv owners cannot be comoelled to comolv with the
orders for various reasons, including the owners cannot be identified or located to be
prosecuted in court, or are indigent. Owners of record are billed, and a lien is recorded
against the property for the ensts of the demolition.
Twenty-four (24~ such buildines have been razed bv the City thus far this fiscal year, at a
cost of more than $198,000. Six (6) more buildings are under contract to be demolished,
using supplemental General Funds appropriated by City Council May 8.
Current Situation:
Twelve (12] additional buildines have been condenmed by the Buildine Devartment for
demolition, whose owners cannot be compelled immediately to remove them themselves
because they cannot be identified or located, are indigent, cannot be served with court
papers, or various other reasons.
Five (5~ of these are considered critical by the Building Commissioner, due to their
hazardous condition. Cost of their demolition is expected to total approximately $35,000.
Issues:
A. Public Safety
B. Cost to the City
Al~emotives:
Transfer $35.000 fi.om General Fund Contineencv at, count. #001-002-9410-2199. to
Demolition. account #001-052-3410-7500: and authorize the City Mananer to execute
individual contracts for the demolition of s~ecific buildings declared by the Building
Commissioner to be public nuisances and unsafe in accordance with the Virginia
Building Maintenance Code.
May 22, 1995
Page Two
Public safety will be enhanced by the expeditious removal of five (5) imminently
hazardous buildings.
Cost to the City initially will be $35,000. However, some portion of this cost
may be recovered eventually fi.om the property owners or upon sale of the
properties.
B. Do not appropriate additional funds for the demolition of identified public nuisances.
Public s0f~ would be ieooardized by continuation of imminently hazardous
conditions, until edditiunal appropriations for demolitions become available in
July.
Cost to the City would be delayed until July 1. the new budget year, when
additional funds become available. Further, the continuation of hazardous
conditions present the possibility of additional costs to the City through police
and fire protection activities.
V. Recommendation:
Avvrove Alternative A. thereby transfen'ing $35,000 fi.om General Fund Contingency account,
#001-002-9410-2199, to Demolition, account #001-052-3410-7500; and authorizing the City

Subject: Incentive Program for Emergency Medical Services EMS Volunteers
Dear Members of Council:
I. BACKGROUND
City Manager's report to Ci.ty Council on May 16. 1994 with regar0 to
an incentive program for Emergency Medical Services volunteer~ was
referred to City Manager and Commissioner of Revenue for further
study, report and recommendation to City Council.
Fire/EMS Strategic Planning Process that commenced in the spring of
1994 was aimed at shaping the future of fire and emergency medical
services for the City of Roanoke.
The Strategic Plan for Fire and EMS presented to City Council on
F~JJlrJ~]~ recommended a continuing role for EMS volunteers
and identified that a program is needed to recognize, motivate and
reward volunteers.
City Council resolution dated February 13, 1995 recognized the
vital role played by EMS volunteers and encouraged volunteers to
continue to provide valuable services to the citizens of the City;
and, authorized the City Manager to take necessary and
appropriate steps to accomplish the objectives of the resolution.
Recruitment and retention efforts to maintain volunteer manning levels
continue to be a challenge. Economic changes, increased exposure to
infectious disease, violence toward EMS providers and significant
training requirements result in declining volunteer resources statewide,
the City of Roanoke being no exception.
II. CURRENT SITUATION
Roanoke Emergency Medical Services. Inc, (REMS) membership ban
steadily declined from 110 volunteer~ in 1989 tO 62 in 1995, This
decline in volunteer participation results in an increased cost to the city
to provide this essential service.
Page 2
Of the current membership, 30 volunteers "actively" participate
and would meet requirements to receive incentives.
Many of these active members reside in surrounding jurisdictions
and volunteer in the city to gain experience in a busy system.
3. An active member is defined as follows:
An individual who consistently and routinely meets the
expectations of membership which consist of working a
duty shift (12 hour shift every 6th day) and attending the
monthly business and training meetings, (or)
An individual in an administrative volunteer position for
REMS who provides numerous hours necessary for efficient
operation. Examples: President, Operations Officer,
Equipment Officer, etc. Administrative officers must
document 12 hours per week in order to qualify for
incentives.
A sub-committee of the Fire/EMS Strategic Planning Team a~ointed by
the Director of Public Safety has carefully reviewed the issue-~f
volunteer incentives.
Co
Other localities were contacted to determine incentives offered tO EMS
volunteers throughout the state. Several jurisdictions offer a free decal
and reduced tax rate on personal property (one vehicle registered to
volunteer). Attachment "A" outlines incentives provided by other
jurisdictions.
State Code Section 58.1-3506.A (13) and Section 46.2-752,A,? allow
local governments to waive personal property tax and decal fees for
volunteer EMS providers who regularly respond or perform other
functions for a volunteer EMS agency.
~l~;]larg~[e&~ are issued to City of Roanoke residents who are ex-
prisoners of war and/or disabled veterans. Members of the National
Guard receive vehicle decals at half price.
~ have been established for volunteers to earn
incentives. See Attachment "B".

l~I. ISSUES
A. Recruitment and retention
B. Cost
C. Effective date
IV. ALTERNATIVES
Ao
Provide reimbursement for cost of one vehicle decal and up to $500
maximum on personal property tax on one vehicle registered to active
REMS members regardless of their residing jurisdiction. Reimbursement
to be based on original paid receipts.
Recruitment and retention should improve as volunteers lire
encouraged to actively participate.
Cost would not exceed $10,000. Funding in this amount, based
on the estimated level of volunteer participation, was included in
the FY 1996 budget as presented to City Council April 24 and
approved on May 8, 1995.
Effective date ~ Reimbursement would begin July 1, 1995 for
volunteers who have met eligibility requirements for FY 1995
(July 1, 1994 - June 30, 1995).
Provide "no charge" vehicle decal and up to $500 cap on personal
pro_t>erty tax for one vehicle to "active" REMS members who reside
within the City of Roanoke.
Recruitment and retention efforts would be limited to those
persons residing in the City of Roanoke. Current participating
volunteers residing in other jurisdictions may discontinue
providing services.
Cost would be $3,033 for FY 1996 if incentive is offered to city
residents only. Of the 30 active members, 19 reside in the city.
Effective date - Incentive measure would begin July 1, 1995 for
volunteers who have met eligibility requirements for FY 1995
(July 1, 1994 - June 30, 1995).
Page 4
Do not provide incentives to attract and retain volunteers in the volunteer
component of emergency medical services.
Recruitment and retention efforts would not be enhanced and the
decline in volunteer participation will continue.
Cost to provide this service will continue to increase if volunteer
participation continues to decline.
3. Effective date would not be an issue.
RECOMMENDATION
Ci_ty Council concur with alternative "A" and provide reimbursement
through REMS for total cost of one vehicle decal and up to $500
maximum on personal property tax on one vehicle which is registered tO
any active REMS member regardless of residing jurisdiction. Such
vehicle must be regularly used by such member to respond to EMS calls
or perform other EMS duties.
Funding totalling $10.000 was approved in the FY 1996 budget by Ci~r
Council on May 8. 1995,

In January, Roanoke County received a letter and resolution from the Falrfax County Board of Supervisors
advising that they had established a commission on Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation. They
encouraged other jurisdictions in Virginia to establish a similar commission.
On February 14, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 21495-2, which supports
the establishment of a regional commission on organ and tissue donation and transplantation, comprised
of the localities in the Alleghany Health District and the City of Roanoke. Dr. Molly Rutledge, Health
Director for the Alleghany Health District and the City of Roanoke, has expressed strong support for the
formation of this commission and has offered to serve as a member.
The Commission on Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation would coordinate resources in the
community; promote awareness on organ and tissue donation and transplantation; educate the community
about the process and increase the number of donors in our region. The Carilion Transplant Center at
Roanoke Memorial Hospital and the Virginia Organ Procurement Agency have contacted our staff and
offered their assistance in planning and establishing the commission.
On behalf of the Roanoke County Board of Supemisors, I invite the City of Roanoke to join us in the
creation of a Commission on Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation. Attached is a copy of our
resolution and we urge that your locality adopt a similar resolution.
We look forward to a response from your jurisdiction, and we hope that you will join us in this endeavor.

April Financial Report
This financial report covers the period July through April of the 1994-95 fiscal year.
The following narrative discusses revenue and expenditure trends to date.
REVENUE
Total General Fund revenues reflect an increase of 4.59% over fiscal year 1994 on
a year-to-date basis. This is an increase of over $5 million. Variances in specific categories of
revenue are as follows:
General Property Taxes, the largest category of General Fund revenues, are approximately $2.5
million or 4.63% over that of FY94. An increase in personal property tax levies accounts for
approximately $2 million of this, and the remaining increase is from growth in real estate taxes.
The expansion in personal property taxes is due to an improved economy which has yielded a higher
volume of automobile sales in the current year. Additionally, the motorcycle and four-wheel drive
classes included many vehicles whose assessments increased from 1994 to 1995. Personal
property will be adjusted downward slightly before year end to reflect actual cash collections
received.
Other Local Taxes are up 4.26 %, adding $1,390,000 to General Fund revenues. An additional $1.0
million of business license tax revenue has been collected over that of FY94 due to increased
business license return auditing implemented by the Commissioner of the Revenue. State sales tax
revenue has increased, up 7.69% or $869,000 from FY94. The prepared food and beverage tax
has risen more than $180,000 since FY94 due to an expanded economy and new restaurant
business within the City. Utility taxes have decreased as a result of the mild winter in 1995. The
cable TV franchise tax is also down on a year-to-date basis due to the last quarterly payment being
received in May, 1995 versus April, 1994.
Fines and Forfeitures reflect a 33.89% increase over FY94 due to a significant increase in General
District Court fines resulting from a more aggressive collection approach, increased caseload, and
the new policy of accepting payments by credit card. Court judgment collection fees of $54,000
have also been collected in FY95 by the newly established Cost Collections Unit.
Grants-in-Aid Commonwealth is up 3.55%, adding $750,000 to General Fund revenues.
Approximately $300,000 of this results from state recordation tax, collected all of FY95 but only
part of FY94. Rental car tax revenue has increased due to timing differences in the State's
remittance of this tax to the City. Revenue from Jail shared expenses have increased in FY95 while
revenue from the Jail Block Grant has decreased due to a change in the way the City is reimbursed
for medical staff costs. Street maintenance categorical aid is Up, in line with budgeted increases.
Honorable Mayor and Members
Roanoke City Council
May 22, 1995
Page 2
Grants-in-Aid Federal Government is up significantly due to winter storm reimbursement of
$245,000 in FY95 compared to $57,000 in FY94.
Miscellaneous Revenue has increased 83.58% due to a $75,000 increase in surplus property sales
proceeds coupled with other miscellaneous revenue accruals.
Internal Services revenue is up 10.34% or $125,000 due to increases in billings by street
maintenance, building maintenance, grounds maintenance, and engineering. These increases are
consistent with budgeted increases in the billings.
EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRAN(~E~
Expenditures and encumbrances in the General Fund are up 6.73% over the 1994 fiscal year.
Variances in specific categories are explained as follows:
Judicial Administration expenditures have increased 7.22% or $207,000. Personal services costs
have increased in the Commonwealth's Attorney, Circuit Court, and Sheriff's departments.
Equipment purchases by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Clerk,
and Sheriff's Departments have also increased. Greater CIS billings have been incurred by the
Commonwealth's Attorney. The Commonwealth's Attorney Cost Collections Unit, with
expenditures of approximately $40,000, is a new cost center in FY95.
Public Works expenditures have increased $1,295,000 or 8.02%. Street paving costs have
increased $216,000 due to timing differences in the performance of annual street paving. These
are expected to approximate the FY94 level by year end. Solid Waste Management's fees for
professional services have increased $418,000 due to timing differences in payments for landfill
charges. The department's salaries and wages costs have declined, however, due to a reduction
in employees, and its costs for equipment rental are also lower. Expenditures for equipment
purchases in the Communications department have risen as some previously leased equipment was
purchased. Parks Maintenance expenditures have increased due to the renovation of several City
parks. The Building Maintenance department has incurred more fleet rental and maintenance costs,
costs to maintain City property, and air conditioning expenses. Recycling department expenditures
have increased approximately $162,000 due to increases in all areas that have occurred as the
program has expanded. Also, new recycling carts have been purchased, causing expendable
equipment costs to rise.
Parks, Recreation and Cultural expenditures have increased 7.18% or $288,000. This is
substantially caused by an increase of nearly $320,000 in cultural contributions. The largest single
increase is to the Hotel Roanoke Conference Center Commission ($276,500 in FY95 versus
$123,350 in FY94), but there have also been increased contributions to various other cultural
organizations. Decreased Recreation expenditures have resulted from lower utility costs and
program activities and higher reimbursements for the use of facilities.
Community Development expenditures are up 18.16% or $141,000 due to increased personal
services costs in the Department of Planning and Community Development resulting from a new
position and the transfer of existing positions into the department in FY95. The subsidy to the
Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension Program is also up $12,000 due to differences in the timing
of payments on a year-to-date basis.
Honorable Mayor and Members
Roanoke City Council

Transfers to the Debt Service Fund are up 9.4% or $694,000. Although the overall debt service
requirements of the City remain fairly consistent from year to year, timing differences in the
transfers to this fund have caused a fluctuation on a year-to-date basis.
Transfers to the School Board are up 7.03%, or approximately $1,982,000, due to a 6.25%
increase in the amount budgeted to be funded to the School Board combined with timing differences
in the transfers on a year-to-date basis.
Nondepartmental expenditures, consisting mainly of transfers to other funds, have increased
approximately $2.0 million or 95.85%. Budgeted increases in transfers to these funds explain some
of this, but the increase is mostly due to transfers being made earlier in FY95 than in FY94.
Transfers to the Capital Projects Fund are up nearly $1.5 million due to earlier project
commencement dates in FY95. Fleet Management has received $265,000 in FY95 but received
none in the prior year through April. Transfers to the Nursing Home have increased $82,000, and
slight increases in the transfers to the City Informations System, Civic Center and Grant Funds have
occurred. Funding provided to the City Pension Plan has increased from approximately $170,000
to $350,000.
I would be pleased to answer any questions which City Council may have regarding
the Monthly Financial Statements.

BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:
1. Subsection (a) of §2-36, Same - liability insurance, Code
of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended, is amended and
reordained as follows:
S2-36. Same liability insurance.
(a) No private motor vehicle shall be used for
travel or transportation upon the business or affairs of
the City, unless such motor vehicle and its operator are

The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Re: Insurance requirements for use of employee
motor vehicles in City business
Dear Mayor Bowers and Council Members:
This report recommends an amendment to S2-36, Code of the City
of Roanoke (1979), as amended, which requires that employees of the
City who use their motor vehicles in the conduct of City business and
claim reimbursement for such use produce certificates from their
insurance carriers that motor vehicle liability insurance coverage at
certain specified levels is in effect for any time period for which
reimbursement is claimed.
By way of background, S2-36 requires that any employee who
claims reimbursement from the City for use of a privately-owned motor
vehicle in the conduct of City business shall maintain liability
insurance coverage at certain levels with respect to such vehicle.
Glenn A. Asher, Risk Management Officer, has advised that the
employee's personal motor vehicle liability insurance coverage is
always primary, and he has recommended that the requirement of
personal motor vehicle liability insurance coverage be retained. The
requirement that each employee claiming reimbursement maintain on
file with the Director of Finance a current certificate of insurance
and that the policy will not be canceled without ten days written
notice to the Director of Finance has, however, proven
administratively difficult to enforce. Unbeknownst to the Director
of Finance, an employee may change automobiles or insurance carriers,
and no new certificate may be issued. Also, insurance carriers
frequently fail to issue a notice of cancellation to the Director of
Finance. Another problem with the current Code provision is that
insurance carriers sometimes erroneously believe that the City seeks
to be named as an additional insured, and the carriers then seek to
impose an additional premium charge on our employees.
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
May 22, 1995
Page 2
I am of the opinion that the City, which is self-insured as to
motor vehicle liability, should maintain its requirement that
employees who seek to be reimbursed for use of their private motor
vehicles in conduct of City business maintain personal motor vehicle
liability coverage. I recognize, however, that the current
provisions of §2-36 are difficult to enforce. I am, therefore,
recommending amendment of ~2-36 to delete the requirement that
employees produce a certificate of insurance from their insurance
carrier and replace this provision with the requirement that an
employee claiming reimbursement for use of a private motor vehicle in
the conduct of City business make written certification that the
motor vehicle for the use of which reimbursement is sought was at all
applicable times covered by the required insurance. This requirement
could be printed on the expense voucher form, and, thus, an employee
would make certification as to insurance on each occasion for which
reimbursement is sought. Any false representation would subject the
employee to appropriate discipline.
I recommend to you the adoption of the attached ordinance which
deletes the requirement that employees produce insurance certificates
from their motor vehicle liability insurance carriers and substitutes
a requirement that employees make written certification that the
required coverage is in place. The City Manager, Director of Finance
and Risk Management Officer concur in this recommendation.
I shall be pleased to answer any questions City Council may have
in this matter.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
~g, Jr.

and the Football Club.
I. B&CKGROUND:
ae
The Roanoke Rush, a semi-professional football
team is being organized as one of the new teams
in the National Minor League Football (NMLF).

Zoning Appeals to address the following situations:
The rezoned residential property at 1017 Curtis Avenue would have
a lot size smaller than the 5,000 square foot minimum required in an
RS-3 district; and
Existing space between the parking lot and the residential structure
would not allow for the required minimum 10-foot buffer.
Plannin~ Commission public hearing was held April 5, 1995. Mr. Wade
McNichols appeared before the Commission on behalf of the petitioner, his
father, and briefed the Commission.
He said that rezoning of a portion of the property would bring the use of that
portion, which is currently a parking lot, into compliance with the zoning
ordinance. He said the use was proffered to be only a parking lot and that it
would serve as off- street parking for the business at 5015 Williamson Road,
also owned by the petitioner. He noted that the other portion of the property at
1017 Curtis, which contains a residence, would be sold.
Ms. Tamasin Roop, City Planner, presented the staff report. She said that the
residence would remain in the current zoning district and advised that two
variances would be necessary. She stated that surrounding land uses were a
mixture of residential and commercial and no neighborhood comment had
Members of Council

been received. Ms. Roop said that rezoning would bring that portion of the
property into conformity with existing use and that staffrecommended
approval.
There were no additional questions or discussion on the part of the
Commission and no one from the audience appeared before the Commission to
speak on behalf of,, or in opposition to, the request.
III.
Issues:
~ of the subject property is Residentiai Single- Family, RS-3. Subject
property contains both a single-family residence with yard and a parking lot
which serves commercial property at 5015 Williamson Road, NW.
The surrounding zoning pattern is as follows: to the north and west are Office
District, C-l, and General Commercial District, C-2; to the south are
Residential Single-family, RS-3, as well as C-1 and C-2 districts; and to the
east is RS-3.
Land use surrounding the subject property is as follows: to the north and west
are various commercial uses along Williamson Road, to the east are residential
single-family uses and to the south are residential uses as well as commercial
uses adjacent to Hershberger Road. There are no significant topographical
features.
Petitioner has proffered that use of the portion of the property which would be
rezoned would be limited to an entranceway and parking lot for businesses at
5015 Williamson Road.
Access to the property is currently by way of Curtis Avenue and Williamson
Road. Rezoning the property would not alter access or traffic. City Traffic
Engineer stated that the site has good access management and that no adverse
traffic impacts are anticipated since the purpose of the rezoning is to bring
property into conformity with existing use.
~ buffer screen. Existing space combined with current use do not
permit the required 10-foot buffer, a situation for which a variance will be
sought if the rezoning is approved. This and other landscaping issues have
been addressed by petitioner as follows:
He proffered that the existing evergreen buffer between the parking
lot and the residence would be maintained at a height of at least six
(6) feet and that a row ofozmanthus shrubs would be planted and
Members of Council
Page 4
maintained along the parking lot property adjacent to Curtis
Avenue; and
He offered the condition that if the existing evergreen buffer cited
above should be eliminated, it would be replaced by a wood
stockade fence.
Neiehborhood or~,anizatlon is the Williamson Road Action Forum; business
community is served by the Williamson Road Area Business Association.
Both organizations were notified of petition to rezone by letter, mailed March
24, 1995. Adjoining property owners were notified of petition to rezone in
letters mailed March 27, 1995.
F. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
Neighborhood character and environmental quality be protected.
IV.
Alternatives:
Commercial development is carefully evaluated to ensure minimal
conflict with residential areas and to promote good land use.
A. Aporov~ the rezoning request.
Zoning for a portion of the subject property would become General
Commercial District, C-2, subject to certain conditions, and the
zoning of that portion would then conform to the existing use. A
portion of property would remain RS-3.
Land use of the rezoned portion would remain the same and would
be for a parking lot. No additional impacts on adjoining areas are
anticipated.
Access to and from the site would be by way of the existing
entrance/exit on Curtis Avenue.
Existing landscaped buffer ~creen along with proffered conditions
as cited above, would serve to separate residential use from
commercialuse. Varianceto requirement for 10-foot buffer would
be sought from City's Board of Zoning Appeals.
Neighborhood ~ No comments were received about this
petition from residents or members of the business community.
Members of Council
Page 5
Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth would be followed.
B. Deny the rezoning request.
Zoning of the parking lot portion of subject property would remain
Residential Single- family, RS-3, and would not be brought into
conformity with existing use.
Land use would remain the same.
Access to the site remain the same.
landscaped buffer screen would not be an issue.
Neighborhood would remain unchanged.
Comprehensive ~lan issues as set forth could be followed at a later
date.
V. Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 5 to 0 (Mr. Bradshaw and Mrs. Coles absent)
recommended approval of the requested rezoning, finding that approval would bring
that portion of the subject property for which rezoning is sought into conformity with its
existing use and that conditions proffered by the petitioner would address visual and
other impacts on the adjoining residential property and neighborhood and allow a
compatible commercial use.

May 8, 1995
The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Duoc Tan Nguyen and Pho Thi Lmn, represented by W. Ben Snead,
Jr., attorney, that property located at 4129 and 4135 Salem Turnpike, N.W.,
Official Tax Numbers 6050101 and 6050102, be rezoned from Residential
Single-Family District, RS-3, to Neighborhood Commercial District, CN, such
rezoning to be subject to conditions proffered by the petitioner.
Purpose of rezoning request is to place two (2) adjoining lots, comprising
approximately 0.399 acres and with existing structures, into a zoning
classification consistent with previous and proposed uses as a Neighborhood
Convenience Store and a Neighborhood Service Establishment.
Previous use of the structure on the lot bearing tax number 6050102 was as a
neighborhood convenience store which operated through 1990. Use of the
structure on the lot bearing tax number 6050101 was for a furniture refinishing
business which operated through 1994.
Peters Creek Road Extension will connect with Salem Turnpike immediately to
the east of the site to be rezoned. Road extension project is to begin this spring.
Various alternatives related to development along the road extension and roads
with which it will intersect have been explored in the Peters Creek Road
Extension Corridor Development Study by staff of the Fifth Planning District
Commission.
Petition to rezone from RS-3 district to C-2, General Commercial District was
filed on March 15, 1995, and an amended petition was submitted on March 28,
1995. The following conditions were proffered by the petitioner:
Room 162 Municipal Building 215Church Avenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703)981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
The use of the land to be rezoned will be limited to use as a Neighborhood
Convenience Store and Neighborhood Service Establishment.
2. There will be no outdoor storage or display of materials to be sold.
Planning Commission public hearing was held on Wednesday, April 5, 1995. Mr.
W. Ben Snead, Jr., attorney, appeared on behalf of the petitioners and briefed the
Commission as to the purpose of the rezoning request.
Mr. Snead stated that the rezoning was being requested to allow the existing
buildings, which had recently been used as a convenience market and upholstery
business, to reopen as a convenience store and laundromat, respectively. He
noted that the two uses of the property had been proffered and so would remain a
neighborhood convenience store and neighborhood service establishment, and
that there would be no outdoor storage.
Ms. Tamasin Roop, City Planner, gave the staff report. She stated that the staff
believed CN zoning would be most appropriate since the property would be
adjacent to the Peters Creek Road Extension and that location was not desirable
for higher intensity uses. She said also that CN designation would limit the
amount of signage and that a landscaped buffer would be required along the rear
property line. Only one contact had been received from the neighborhood, she
said, and that was for information. Addressing questions from the Commission,
Ms. Roop said that hours of operation had not been discussed and Mr. Marlles
stated that it was not known if sidewalks would be installed at the front of the
property as part of the Peters Creek Road Extension project.
No one from the audience appeared before the Commission to speak on behalf of
or in opposition to the request.
II. Issues:
Zoning of the subject property is Residential Single- family District, RS-3. The
surrounding zoning pattern is as follows: to the north is RS-3; to the south is RS-3
and General Commercial District, C-2; to the west is C-2; and to the east is RS-3,
RM-I and RM-2.
Land use surrounding the subject property is as follows: to the north are
residential uses; immediately to the east is vacant land on which construction will
begin this spring for the Peters Creek Road Extension and beyond that are
residential uses; to the west are both commercial and residential property uses,
including a used car dealership across Gladies Street; and land to the south, across
Salem Turnpike, is vacant.
Members of Council
Page 3
The property to be rezoned is below an embankment which shields it from the
view of most of the residential uses immediately to the north. It holds two
commercial-type structures which currently are vacant.
Use limitations. According to a proffer by the petitioner, uses of the subject
property would be limited to a neighborhood convenience store and a
neighborhood service establishment.
Access to the property is currently by way of Salem Turnpike and Gladies Street.
The City Traffic Engineer noted that with construction of the Peters Creek Road
Extension, the subject site will be adjacent to a busy, signalized intersection and
that access will probably be difficult, especially during peak traffic hours. He
said also that traffic generated by the site will likely be associated with traffic
already in the area.
Outdoor ~ i~nd display. There would be no outdoor storage and display of
materials to be sold, according to petitioner's proffer.
F. Neiehborhood oreanization does not exist for this area.
G. ~ recommends:
development or reuse of small neighborhood shopping areas to serve the
needs of area residents; and
2. protection of neighborhood character and environmental quality.
IV. Alternatives:
A. Approve the rezoning request.
Zoning would become Neighborhood Commercial, CN, subject to certain
conditions, and the proposed use of the site for a Neighborhood
Convenience Store and a Neighborhood Service Establishment would be
allowed to take place.
Land use for a neighborhood convenience store and a Laundromat would
be consistent with previous uses of existing structures on subject property.
Uses would be buffered from adjacent residential property to the north by
required screening and by existing topography. Conditions proffered by
petitioners also would provide assurances to neighborhood.
Access to and from the site would be by way of Salem Turnpike and
Gladies Street. City Traffic Engineer anticipated no increase in traffic due
to rezoning and related uses.
Members of Council
Page 4
4. NO outdoor storage and displav of materials to be sold would be allowed,
according to condition proffered by petitioner.
5. Neighborhood omanization does not exist for this area.
6. Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth would be followed.
Deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoning of the subject property would remain Residential Single-family,
RS-3, and the proposed use as a neighborhood convenience store and
neighborhood service establishment would not be allowed to take place.
2. Land use would remain Residential Single- family and structures on
subject property would remain vacant.
3. Use limitations would not be an issue.
4. Access to the site would not be an issue.
5. Outdoor storage and display would not be an issue.
6. Neighborhood would be unchanged.
7. Comprehensive plan issues as set forth could be followed at a later date.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of S-0 (Mrs. Coles and Mr. Bradshaw absent)
recommends approval of the requested rezoning, finding that the request would be
consistent with previous uses of property and would address visual factors, thus allowing
for uses compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and development.

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Branch Highways, Inc., represented by Donald L. Wetherington,
Attorney, that a parce! of land located at the terminus of Lynn Brae Drive, N.E.,
(also known as Market Square Drive) designated as Official Tax No. 7150102 and
containing 11.673 acres, more or less, be rezoned from LM, Light
Manufacturing District, to HM, Heavy Manufacturing District, such rezoning to
be subject to certain conditions proffered by the petitioner.
I. Back,round:
Purnose of the requested rezoning is to permit the construction, on the property, of a
bituminous concrete plant for the production of asphalt and for related sales and
administrative activities. The proposed asphalt plant will occupy approximately 2.5 acres
of the 11.673 acre site.
Parcel requested for r¢z0ning (Official Tax No. 7150102) was originally part of a 20.879
acre tract conditionally rezoned in 1984 from C-2, General Commercial District to LM,
Light Manufacturing District. Purpose of the rezoning was to provide additional
industrial sites.
First petition to rezone subject 11.673 acre parcel was filed on March 15, 1995. The
following conditions (which would replace those of the original 1984 rezoning noted
above) were proffered by the petitioner.
A berm will be constructed and trees and shrubs set and maintained at the
southerly end of the Tract in the location and at elevations shown on the concept
plan attached as Exhibit C.
Construction of the plant will be in reasonable conformity to the location and
layout depicted on the attached concept plan.

Members of the Council
Page 2
Product delivery vehicles will enter and leave the property by means of access to
be established directly to Seibel Drive or to Mary Linda Avenue to the west and
not by way of Lynn Brae Drive (also known as Market Square Drive) to the east.
Staff met with p~titign0r and/or oetitioners' attorney on four occasions prior to the
Commission's public hearing on April 5, 1995, to discuss the proposed use and rezoning
of the subject area.. Staffconcerns communicated to the petitioner were as follows:
future potential HM uses on the site; screening/buffeting of the site fi.om surrounding
properties, access; existing traffic congestion on U. S. Route 460, possible odor, noise
and dust.
First amended petition to rezone was filed on April 4, 1995. The following conditions
were proffered:
The property will be used only as a manufacturing establishment primarily
engaged in the manufacture, assembly, mixing, processing or other process
related to the creation of asphalt, together with ail accessory uses including sales
and administrative activities.
A berm will be constructed and trees and shrubs set and maintained at the
southerly end of the tract in the location and at elevations shown on the site plan
attached as Exhibit C.
Construction of the plant will be in substantial conformity to the location and
layout depicted on the attached site plan.
Trucks that deliver raw materiais to the property for the manufacturing process
and trucks that deliver the manufactured product from the property will enter and
leave the property only by means of access to be established directly to Seibel
Drive or to Mary Linda Avenue to the west and not by way of Lynn Brae Drive
(also known as Market Square Drive) to the east. If no such right of access has
been obtained by April 1, 1998, then the zoning classification for the property
will automatically revert to its classification, subject to the same conditions, as in
effect on April 1, 1995, without any further or other action by the Council of the
City of Roanoke. Upon the request by or on behaifofthe Roanoke City Planning
Commission, the petitioner will provide an explanation of the location and nature
of the right of access, once obtained.
First Plannin~ Commission public hearing was held on April 5, 1995. Mr. Don
Wetherington, attorney, and Ralph Shivers, representing Branch Highways, appeared
before the Commission to summarize the request. Mr. Wetherington stated that they
have carefully evaluated the site and that there should be no noise, lighting, odor or other
negative impact on the adjacent properties.

Members of the Council

Mr. Ralph Shivers noted that the proposed asphalt plant was a modem facility and
reflected state of the art technology which was more advanced than any other plant that is
presently in Roanoke. Mr. Shivers presented a color rendering of the site which showed
the proposed berm and location of the plant and silos. He noted that all manufacturing
activity would be hidden and not observable from adjacent property or any roadway
entering the City.
Mr. Shivers stated that he had contacted every business and landowne[ adjacent to the
site as well as the WildwOod Civic League. He noted that the plant would meet all air
quality standards and would operate well below the standards set by the State. Mr.
Shivers ended his remarks by inviting the members of the Commission to visit a similar
plant in the City of Fairfax.
In response to a question from Mrs. Duerk and Mr. Hill, Mr. Shivers described what a
"bag house" was and noted that no hazardous materials would be stored on the site.
Mr. Marlles gave the staffreport and Stated that staffconsidered the location of the
proposed rezoning to be very sensitive due to its proximity to the Roanoke Centre for
Industry and Technology and the U.S. Route 460 corridor. He also noted that staffhad
identified four potential issues: (1) access and traffic; (2) odor; (3) dust; and (4)
buffering. Mr. Marlles concluded his remarks by recommending that representatives of
the staff and Commission visit a similar facility to investigate staff and citizen concerns.
Three citizens (Mr. Jim Phillips, 3516 Brookmn Circle, N.E.; Mr. Paul Smith, 3516
Willow Run Drive, N.E.; and Ms. Pamela Cunningham, 3502 Springtree Circle) appeared
before the Commission. The citizens expressed the following concerns: (1) possible
benzene and carbon monoxide from the flumes; (2) traffic impact on U.S. Route 460; (3)
dust; and (4) fumes.
A complete set of the minutes from the Planning Commission's April 5 public hearing is
attached to this report (ATTACHMENT A).
Current
Planning Office has received numerous calls from residents living in the LaBellevue
section of Roanoke County (see attached map- ATTACHMENT B). Staff has also
received calls from citizens living in the Springtree area in Roanoke City and from other
residents along King Street, N.E. In addition to the concerns previously identified by
staff and citizens at the April 5, 1995, public hearing, several citizens expressed a
concern that the proposed asphalt plant would constitute a fire hazard (see
ATTACHMENT C).
A re;~resentative of the Plannine Commission (Richard Jones, Vice Chairman) and City
staff (John Madles, Chief of Planning and Community Development and Phil Sparks,
Members of the Council
Page 4
Acting Chief of Economic Development) visited a similar facility (see attached
description - ATTACHMENT D) in the City of Fairfax, Virginia, on April 20, 1995.
City representatives toured the plant site, met with the plant manager, and interviewed
approximately 15 residents, business owners, and employees (selected randomly) in the
surrounding area. With one exception, individuals reported no problems associated with
odor or noise generated from the existing plant. Several residents of a nearby
condominium project (350' from the plant site) indicated that dust from the plant was a
problem. The only dust observed by the Planning Commission and City staffresulted
from trucks driving on the gravel surface surrounding the plant. No dust was observed
from the operation of the plant.
Staff contacted representatives from the Fairfax City Departments of Planning and
Economic Development to discuss the operation of the existing plant in an attempt to
identify any existing problems or adverse environmental impacts. Fairfax City staff were
not aware of any problems or citizen complaints resulting from the operation of the plant.
Stilff hove also contacted the following additional agencies and organizations in an
attempt to address citizen concerns: Virginia Air Pollution Control Board, Roanoke City
Fire Department, Botetourt County Planning Department, and the Roanoke County
Department of Economic Development.
Second Planning Commission public hearing was held on May 3, 1995. Mr. Don
Wetherington appeared before the Commission on behalf of the petitioner. Mr.
Wetherington noted that since the Commission's last public hearing on April 5, 1995,
staff and a representative from the Planning Commission had visited a similar facility in
the City of Fairfax. Mr. Wetherington further stated that the petitioners had conducted an
exhaustive site search and felt that the proposed site was ideally suited for the proposed
use. Mr. Wetherington then addressed six considerations: (1) impact on the
environment; (2) site considerations (visual); (3) noise; (4) dust; (5) odor; and (6) traffic.
Finally, Mr. Wetherington detailed Branch Highways' efforts to meet with property
owners and residents from both the City and County to address their concerns.
Mr. John Marlles gave the staff report. Mr. Maflles noted that initially staffhad many of
the same concerns voiced by residents. He further stated that staff felt that most of the
issues have been addressed including the concern that the proposed asphalt plant would
constitute a special fire hazard. Mr. Marlles noted that during the site visit to the asphalt
plant in the City of Fairfax, staff and the Commission's representative (Richard Jones,
Vice Chairman), had toured the plant site and interviewed approximately 15 residents
who lived or worked in the vicinity of the plant. He stated that the only concern voiced
was from several residents of a nearby condominium development located approximately
350 feet from the plant site, who complained of dust. Mr. Marlles noted that the only
dust which was observed during the site visit was from trucks driving on the unsurfaced
area surrounding the plant. No dust was observed coming from the operation of the plant
nor did any of the citizens interviewed complain that odor was a problem. In response to
Members of the Cot~ncil
Page 5
a question from Mr. Jones, Mr. Marlles stated that the Springtree neighborhood in the
City was located approximately 1,640 feet from the plant site and the LaBellevue section
of Roanoke County was located approximately 4,800 to 6,000 feet from the proposed
plant site. Mr. Marlles concluded his remarks by stating that staff was recommending
approval of the request in as much as the proffered conditions and site plan as well as the
information provided by the petitioner addressed the concerns identified by. staff·
The fOllowing citizens addressed the Commission to express opposition or concerns
related to the requested rezoning: Ms. Virginia Rhodes (3258 Richards Avenue, N.E.);
Mr. Jim Phillips (3516 Brookrun Drive, N.E.); Mr. Obediah Overstreet (3203 King
Street, N.E.); Mr. Buddy Davis (#1 Homestead Lane, N.E.); Mr. Ray Barbour (686
Montrose Avenue, S.E.), Mr. Noel Levan (3306 Dogwood Hill Road, N.E.) and Mr. Tim
Lipteck (3269 Richards Avenue, N.E.) Specific concerns expressed by citizens included
traffic and access, fumes, proximity ora day care center 500 yards away, fire hazard,
noise, lack of buffering, odor, proximity of a landfill, dust, and storm water management.
A complete set of minutes from the Planning Commission's May 3, 1995, public hearing
is attached to this report (ATTACHMENT E).
Secohded amended netition was filed on May 4, 1995. The following conditions were
proffered in response to suggestions made by the Assistant City Attorney at the May 3,
1995, public heating:
The p;operty will be used only as a manufacturing establishment primarily
engaged in the manufacture, assembly, mixing, processing or other process
related to the creation of asphalt.
Prior to the commencement of the manufacturing activities, a berm will be
constructed and a landscaped buffer consisting of a mixture of deciduous trees
and conifers no less than six (6) feet in height at planting will be set and thereafter
maintained on the berm at the southerly and easterly sides of the Tract
substantially with the type of configuration an in the location and at elevations
shown on the conceptual site plan (hereinatter called "Site Plan") entitled
"Concept Plan for Rezoning of 11.67 Ac. Parcel from LM Zoning to HM Zoning.

leavethe Property only by means of access to be established directly to Seibel
Drive or to Mary Linda Avenue to the west and not by way of Lynn Brae Drive
(also known as Market Square Drive) to the east. If no such right of access has
been obtained by April 1, 1998, then the zoning classification for the Property
will automatically revert to its classification, subject to the same conditions, as in
effect on April 1, 1995, without any further or other action by the Council of the
City of Roanoke. Upon the request by or on behalf of the Roanoke City Planning
Commission, the Petitioner will provide an explanation of the location and nature
of the fight of access, once obtained.

surrounding zoning pattern is as follows: to the north, east and west is LM, Light
Manufacturing District, to the south along U.S. Route 460 is C-2, General Commercial
DiStrict.
Land use of subject 11.673 acre parcel is currently vacant, undeveloped. Land use to the
north (Official Tax No. 3200103) is a vacant undeveloped parcel that was formerly a
landfill; land use to the east is a building materials storage yard (Lowe's). Land use to
the west is the Statesman's Industrial Park. Land use to the south along U. S. Route 460
is highway commercial (Amoco station, McDonald's, Lowe's).
Access and traffic. Petitioner has proffered that. all product delivery vehicles (trucks
carrying raw materials and finished products) will enter and leave the property by means
of access to be established directly to Seibel Drive or to May Linda Avenue to the west
and not by way of Lynn Brae Drive (also known as Market Square Drive) to the east.
Orange Avenue in the vicinity of the Statesman Industrial Park is a heavily travelled
highway, darrying approximately 43,000 vehicles per day (see attached memo from
Robert K. Bengtson, P.E., dated April ~26, 1995- ATTACHMENT F). Eighteen percent
or 7,740 of these vehicles are trucks. Under the current LM zoning the site has the
potential to generate 600 trips/day (300 in/300 out) according to the ITE Trip Generation
Manual. According to the petitioners, approximately 150-200 trucks would be entering
and exiting the site each day. The City Traffic Engineer has indicated that based on the
traffic projected for this site, traffic conditions on U.S. Route 460 would not be adversely
affected. City Traffic Engineer also'noted that the widening of U.S. Route 460 to six (6)
lanes is identified as an "imminent Priority" in the City's adopted Thorooghfare Plan.
B~tff~ring/,creeninc, of site from adjacent land uses was initially a staffconcern due to the
nature of the proposed operation and the topography of the area. The site is in dose
proximity to the Roanoke Centre for Industry and Technology and U.S. Route 460 which
is a major gateway into the City. The site is approximately thirty feet above the elevation
of Orange Avenue. Petitioner has proffered that a 20' berm will be constructed along the
southerly and easterly property lines to help screen the plant. The plant will not be

Visible fi.om the Roanoke Center for Industry due to differences in topography. Petitioner
has also proffered a site plan that incorporates a landscaped buffer area at or near the top
of the proposed berm along the southerly and easterly property line to consist of a
mixture of deciduous and Evergreen trees not less than 6' in height.
Possible odor from the proposed bituminous concrete plant was initially a staff and
citizen concern. Information proVided by the petitioner has indicated that odor from
plant should not be detectable off-site due to advances in technology in asphalt plant
design. Information provided by the City of Falrfax appears to indicate that odor has not
been a problem. No odor was detected off-site by the representative of the Planning
Commission and City staff visiting the facility in the City of Fairfax nor was odor fi.om
the plant mentioned as a problem by citizens or business owners interviewed as part of
the site visit on April 20, 1995.
Possible dust from the proposed bituminous concrete plant was initially a staff and.
citizen concern. Information provided by the petitioner indicates that dust generated
during the drying and mixing process is trapped by air pollution control equipment and
should not be a problem off-site. Dust from the plant was identified as a problem by
several individuals interviewed during the site visit to Fairfax City. The individuals
noting the problem lived in a residential development situated 350' from the plant site.
The only dust which was observed during the site visit to the City of Fairfax was
generated fi.om trucks driving on the grovel surface on the site of the plant. The proffered
site plan shows that all internal circulation roads and storage areas will be paved,
eliminating the major source of dust evident at the Fairfax City facility. In addition, the
petitioner will be utilizing specially designed storage bins which are designed to reduce
dust which may result from cross winds while dumping and in storage. Finally, any
residual dust that may be generated fi.om the plant site should be contained by the
proposed berm and landscaped buffer.
Possible b~nzene fi.om fumes generated in the production of asphalt was identified as a
concern by several citizens. According to information provided by the petitioner (see
attached letter from Ralph D. Shivers, President, Branch Highways, Inc., dated April 25,
1995- ATTACHMENT G) and fi.om the Shell Oil Company (see attached letter -
ATTACHMENT H), no benzene byproducts will be produced by the proposed operation.
Possible tiro hazp~rcl fi.om the operation of the plant was identified as an issue by several
citizens who called the Planning Office and addressed the Planning Commission at the
May 3, 1995, public heating. Representatives fi.om the Roanoke City Fire Department
have indicated that the plant would not pose any significant fire hazard as long as
construction of the plant conforms to the standards and requirements of the Virginia Fire
Protection Code and the Uniform Statewide Building Code for asphalt plants. According
to representatives fi.om the City's Fire and Building Departments, new asphalt plants are
requi~ed to incorporate fire suppression features and techniques to prevent or control fires
should they occur. All engine companies within the City are also equipped with foam to
Members of the Council
Page 8
suppress or control fires should they occur. If needed, the foam truck at the airport would
be available at the request of the Roanoke City Fire Department to assist with fire
suppression.
Neighborhood organization for this area is the Wildwood Civic League which was
notified of petition to rezone by letter, mailed March 24, 1995. President of the
neighborhood organization initially indicated that he has no objections to the proposed
facility as long as the proposed development is confined to the existing industn.'al area
north of U.S. Route 460 and there are no major envir6nmental impacts on adjaCent areas.
At the Planning Commission's public hearing on May 2, 1995, Mr. Stroop indicated he
had asked the'civic league if they had wanted to take any action on the request, either pro
or con, and the civic leaguehad decided to leave the matter ~o the neighborhood people
to decide. He said that he could not represent the civic league on the issue and that he
was present as a private citizen and was neutral. 6n the request. He noted that he had
received calls from citizens, both in favor and in opposition to the request.
J. Roanoke Vision, the City's officially adopted comprehensive plan, recOmmends that:
Neighborhood quality and environmental quality be protected.
New or.expanded industrial or commercial developments are good neighbors for
residential or other areas.
3. New industrial development takes place on appropriate sites.
Promoting appropriate development in the City's Urban Enterprise Zone and other
priority areas (the area is identified as "Potential Future Industry" on the
comprehensive plan's industrial development strategy map).
IV.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission. by a vote of 6-0 (Mrs. Coles absent) recommended approval
of the requested rezoning. Members of the Planning Commission recognize that this is a
very sensitive issue but felt many of the concerns ~xpressed by citizens were based on
misconceptions regarding the prol~osed use. Commission members also noted that the
prbposed facility reflected modem technology that eliminated most of the objectional
aspects of the older plants and that there should not be any negative impacts on the
surrounding area.

Rezone from LM to H1M. conditiqpal
Mr. Don Wetherington appeared before the Commission and stated that Mr. Ralph Shivers,
President of Branch Highways, was also present to answer any questions the Commission
might have. Mr. Wetherington stated that Branch Highways wanted to put in the related

business of asphalt production and desired to rezone approximately 11 acres next to
Statesman Industrial Park, from LM to HM, with narrow, protective conditions.
Mr. Wetherington stated that the proposed use was a good one for the property in question
and was clearly compatible with the surrounding area. He said that the economic impact of
such a project was positive and the estimated tax revenue would be $210,000 per year. He
said that approximately 32 jobs would be created.
Mr. Wetherington said that he had carefully analyzed the operation to see whether there
would be any unreasonable interferences with the implementation and use by the adjacent
landowners and had concluded there would not be. He said that he had looked at the
environmental considerations and evaluated the proposal based on its sightliness. He said
there would be no visual problem. He said he had considered noise and lighting that might
invade the nearby area and had found no problem. He said there would be no offensive or
discernible odor and that he had also found there would be no unreasonable burden on the
nearby thoroughfare. He said that in terms of land use evaluation, he had considered every
conceivable negative impact and had found no problem.
Mr. Shivers appeared before the Commission and stated that Branch Highways was one of
the largest road construction companies on in the state and on the east coast. He said he was
now seeking to expand his operations to asphalt paving, which was important and n__~ce_ssary
for their business. He said that the proposed plant was a modern and up-to-date technology
and advanced over any plant that is presently in Roanoke. He said that site was 11.6 acres
in size, east of Statesman Industrial Park. He noted that all though traffic would be routed
through Statesman Industrial Park, at the traffic light on Route 460. He said that site would
be entered from the rear and that aH activity would be conducted within the 11 acre site.
Mr. Shivers presented a color rendering of the site, which showed the proposed berm and
location of the silos. He said that aH manufacturing activity would be hidden and not
observable from adjacent property or the roadway entering the City. He noted that all
operations were completely contained. He described the process of manufacturing asphalt.
Mr. Shivers said that he had contacted every business and landowner adjacent to the site. He
said he had talked with the Wildwood Civic League and had met with no objection from any
of the people he had met with. He said that from an environmental point of view, he was
completely berming the site. He said that at maturity the plantings would completely hide all
aspects of the plant. He said that at first the tops of the silos might show a liRle, but would
eventually be completely hidden.
Mr. Shivers discussed the air quality, noting that the plant would meet aH standards and
would operate well below the standards set out by the state. He said there would be no
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 9
April 5, 1995
flumes and in terms of odors, there would be none. Mr. Shivers said that a plant of the type
proposed was located in Fairfax, Virginia. He said that he had signed statements from
adjacent property owners of the Fairfax plant stating they had no concerns with the plant.
He said that some people did not even know that an asphalt plant was located next to them.
Mr. Shivers said that dust and lighting had also been voiced as a concern. He noted that
there should be no dust at all because the road into the plant would be paved, not graveled.
He said that the planning of the plant showed concern for both the neighborhood and the
environment.
Mr. Wetherington said that it was inconceivable to him that Branch Highways would propose
a use that is offensive and intrusive in any way. He said that the Fairfax plant was similar in
design and capacity to the one proposed for Roanoke. He said that if the Commission and
staff wanted to visit the Fairfax facility, he would request that they do so, so that Council
could still hear the rezoning request at their May public hearing. Mr. Wethefington also
stated that he had submitted an amended petition which had some strict proffered conditions.
Mr. Talevi asked if he understood proffer no. 4 to state that if an easement was obtained by
April 1, 1998, then the proffer was met.
Mr. Wetherington stated that was correct.
There was continued discussion about the easement and it was noted by Mr. Wetherington
that Lynn Brae Drive would never be used for access to or from the site and that access
would be through Statesman Industrial Park.
Mrs. Duerk asked Mr. Shivers to explain what a "bag house' was and how the aggregate
would be moved and stored.
Mr. Shivers briefly described the filtering process and the steps in production of the asphalt.
He commented that all aggregate was stored in bins, with sides and no tops, that were below
the level of the berm.
In response to a question from Mrs. Duerk, Mr. Shivers advised that all ~ruck washing was
done at his facility off of Peters Creek Road.
Mr. Hill said he assumed that the operation would be controlled by state and federal
regulations.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 10
April 5, 1995
Mr. Shivers said that it would and that the asphalt business was a highly regulated industry.
He also noted there would be no ha~'ardous materials on the site.
Mr. Hill asked Mr. Shivers to explain about the dust.
Mr. Shivers responded that there would be no dust from the manufacturing operation. He
said that there would also be no dust from the trucks because they would be traveling over
paved roads to and from the plant.
Mr. Marlles gave the staff report. He said that staff considered the location of the request to
be a very sensitive because of its proximity to the Roanoke Centre for Indus~'y and
Technology and the 460 corridor. He said that there were four issues that staff had
identified: (1) access and traffic; (2) odor; (3) dust and (4) buffering. He said that the
petitioner hied been extremely helpful in providing technical information. He said that staff
was recommending that a representative of the Planning Commission and staff visit the
facility in Fairfax. He said that from the beginning of the project, many of staff's concerns
had been addressed, however, he felt more information was needed.
Mr. Buffer asked if the request could still be heard by Council in May if the matter was
delayed until after a trip to Fairfax.
Mr. Marlles said that could be arranged.
Mr. Hill asked if there was anything else that staff needed in order to make a
recommendation.
Mr. Marlles said that he would like to see some of the technical information on dust and
noise.
Mr. lones asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak to the matter.
Mr. Jim Phillips (3516 Brooknm Circle, NE) appeared before the Commission and stated
that he lived across from the proposed plant and had never been notified. He mentioned the
problems that were associated with the Westvaco plant in Covington and the fact that no one
wanted to live there because of the smell. He said he had small children and wanted to
protect them. He discussed his allergies, which would be aggravated by the smell from the
asphalt plant. He said that he would be able to see the plant from his house and was also
concerned about the fumes which could not be smelled but were harmful, such as carbon
monoxide. He asked that the Comission consider the homes in his area.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 11
April 5, 1995
Mr. Hill asked Mr. Phillips where he lived in relation to the plant.
Mr. Phillips pointed out that he lived in the Springtree section on the other side of Route
460.
Mr. Hill asked Mr. Phillips what evidence he had about the proposed plant.
Mr. Phillips said that he had not personally toured this style of asphalt plant, but that he had
been around stone plants.
Mr. Marlles explained the notification procedure for rezonings to those persons present. He
sated that only those persons whose property directly adjoined the property under
consideration were notified by letter. He said that the property was posted and that a legal
advertisement appeared in the newspaper twice. He also noted that the City contacted
neighborhood organiT~tions about rezonings.
Mr. Paul Smith (3516 Willow Run Drive) appeared before the Commission and stated that he
was concerned about tl:.~: benzine which could be emitted from the flume. He also discussed
the impact of the addition of 200 trucks onto the highway. He said he would lilca to see the
zoning stay the way it was and felt that a lot of his neighbors would move if the property
were rezoned.
Mrs. Duerk commented that she had driven out to the plant located off of Route 220 and did
not smell it at all and the some of the neighbors had commented to her that they did not
know an asphalt plant was there.
Pamela Cunningham (3502 Springtree Circle) appeared before the Commission and stated
that she had grown up in the area of the asphalt plant Mrs. Duerk spoke of. She said that
there had been dust, fumes and heavy traffic in the area for many years.
There being no further discussion, Mr. Butler moved to table the mat~er until the regular
meeting in May. The motion was seconded by Melvin Hill and approved 5-0.
The Christian Villa~_e of Western Virginia. Inc.
Mr. Tom Tasselli, City Development Review Coordinator, appeared before the Commission

The following three industrial/housing sites listed below have been brought
before the Planning Commission for approval:
1. Re-zoning approval for a two acre lot on King Street next to Va.
Transformer to industrial for a cable network company.
2. Re-zoning for a twelve acre lot to heavy industry off Rte. 460 behind
the McDonald's and old Lowe's building for a large asphalt plant.
3. Approval for a low income apartment housing project in the Springtree
subdivision behind Kroger on Rte. 460.
I strenuously object to these projects on the following grounds: These
areas are residential areas which are just beginning to realize property
value gains for the residents and these projects will lower the value of
those homes; the noise and environmental pollution will destroy the ambiance
of the neighborhood; the changes will surely increase crime and traffic in
the area.
A much better use for this land would be single family housing similar to
those already in the area.
I sincerely hope that you will consider the feelings of the residents in
the area and deny approval of these projects.

I have been a resident of S~ringtree Subdivision for fifteen years. I watched my hc~e
~eing built by Fralin and Waldron. I raised my tmo children here; and as a single parent, it
was not easy. I did what I had to do to pay my bills without any federal assistance.
When Fralin and Waldron built Spring~ree, they did not build low inccme housing. Nor
dia they build houses on one street and apart~nents on the other. I believe the area behind me
that we are concerned about, should be conside~l a part of Springtree Subdivision and anything
~Jilt there should be the same t~e, of hcmes that we bought in Springtree; not low-income housing.
I keep 8 childr~ in my home everyday. If apartments are built on this property, I will
have to put up a fence which will Cost me $1600.00 (copy enclosed). I can't and will not subject
these children to the type of people that apa,-b,~ts will bring into this nice neighborgoed.
Look at Landsdowne, a granc~other allo~ed her grandson to mere in with her and he killed her.
It could have been scceone else. I don't want low-inccme anythin9 in my back yard.
I'm 54 year's old, I can't walk away fn~n a horn that I have worked so hard to pay for.
I feel that it is ~our obligation to protect the property of people who work, pay their taxes
and take care of their hc~es, lhese are not low-inc~Te houses. Nothing should be built in our
neighborhood that will lower the vatue of our property.
As for the asphalt plant; I feel the same way. R~anoke city is no place for a plant such
as this. lhey can find a more suitable area, away frcm a residental area.

Dear Rezoning/Planning Board,
My family and myself live in the Springtree Subdivision in the Northeast part of
the city. I'm writing concerning two projects that you are considering for approval in or
near my neighborhood. The project I object to the most is the building of Low Income
Housing Apa~h,ents that would be practically inside our subdivision. I believe it would
lower our property value, traffic would increase in an already growing traffic area and
crime would most likely increase due to high crime rates in most low income areas. Also I
wonder if city officials have considered Runoff/Flooding problems, some homes in this
area already experience some problems with water coming up under the ground in their
basements when we receive alot of rain for several days. The building of these
apartments could make this situation worse if they are built where there would be runoff
water into our subdivision. Please consider all of the comments I have made before you
make a decision about the apartments.
The asphalt plant behind McDonalds on Orange Avenue also concerns me. It
seems to me this would put out a bad odor and pollute the air. Tell me, would you like to
have to smell an asphalt plant at your backdoor? You probably wouldn't, so please
consider all the families in our neighborhood and know how very much we all object to
the plans and how v~ry much we all value our property and want to breathe what clean
air we do have.
The last comment I have that I hope you will consider is that proper~y value in
this neighborhood has increased just about every year for the last twelve years that we
have lived here. Please do not let our property value start declining by putting these
unwanted plans in our neighborhood.

To Whom it may concern:
Contentement- ease of mind
Congestion- to obstruct by over crowding
The two words above are in my vocabulary, unfortunately they do not exist
in Roanoke City. If the~ did, the Rezoning Board would never concider what
they are about to do to my area.
A complex with 46 units, industrial sites for a cable company and a asphalt
plant. If Roanoke City wants to generate more revenue for the city and
increase the population {lasts what this is all about) then you the persons
on the board should live on or somewhere near King Street. I think if this
was possible, the two words above would be very high on your own vocabulary
list.
t will close this letter by stating that I oppose the rezoning for the
industries and the low income housing complex.

RE C EIVE.,
The following three industrial/housing sites listed below have been brought
before the Planning Commission for approval:
1. Re-zoning approval for a two acre lot on King Street next to Va.
Transformer to industrial for a cable network company.
2. Re-zoning for a twelve acre lot to heavy industry off Rte. 460 behind
the McDonald's and old Lowe's building for a large asphalt plant.
3. Approval for a low income apartment housing project in the Springtree
subdivision behind Kroger on Rte. 460.
I strenuously object to these projects on the following grounds: These
areas are residential areas which are just beginning to realize property
value gains for the residents and these projects will lower the value of
those homes; the noise and environmental pollution will destroy the ambiance
of the neighborhood; the changes will surely increase crime and traffic in
the area.
A much better use for this land would be single family housing similar to
those already in the area.
I sincerely hope that you will consider the feelings of the residents in
the area and deny approval of theme projecte.
Sincerely,

Branch Highways Request to Rezone Tax Parcel No. 7150102
From LM to HM
Dear Mr. Mariles:
We have reviewed your report and recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the
referenced project and wish to make you aware of our concerns. Lowe's owns:more prol3erty
contiguous to the Branch parcel than any other entity. At present, a portion of our prope~ is
used for a Contractor Yard facility, but is also being marketed to sell. Although the petitioner has
proffered certain conditions to mitigate the exposure of the neighboring ownem~ we are conceme~l
these do not adequately address our situation.
Our areas of concern include:
· insuffident sideyard setback
· insufficient berm width at the noff. heast comer
insufficient number and unspecified size of buffer plant material
· unpaved internal areas
· the necessity of rezoning the entire 11.673 acre tract when only a portion will utilized as HM
Lowe's is willing to conditionally consent to Branch's petition based on the petitioner's willingness
to adequately address our concerns.

Gentlemen:
I have been informed that several of my comments concerning Branch Highways,
Inc. Asphalt Plant have been misinterpreted to your commission. I would like to set the
record straight on several issues.
I am not opposed to Branch's Asphalt Plant. The Blue Ridge Concerned Citizens
are not opposed to Branch's Asphalt Plant. In fact, we have all tried to find a suitable
site for the plant in Botetourt County. We are very disappointed that we did not have a
suitable site for the plant.
The main reason for our opposition was the fact that the only site available was
on a narrow two lane road between our county's largest elementary school and our
newest recreation park. This road is not suitable for the current traffic. It certainly would
not take the additional traffic needed to support this plant. I was quoted by sources that
I was concerned with fire hazards and smoke from the plant. I have reviewed the
modern technology to be employed by Branch and am well satisfied that this is not a
problem. I am personally very disappointed that this plant is not going to be located in
Botetourt County as we need business here in our county. We do not, however, have
the road infrastructure needed to support the traffic generated by this type of plant.
I would be glad to answer any questions that you may have concerning the
research that we have done concerning this plant.
Ve~_~ yours, ,
Public Relations Spokesperson

MINUTES
The regular meeting of the Roanoke City Planning Commission was held on Wednesday,
May 3, 1995, in the City Council Chambers, fourth floor, Municipal Building. The meeting
was called to order at 1:35 p.m. by Richard Jones, Vice Chairman.
Present: John Bradshaw, Jr. (late)

Barbara Duerk

Melvin Hill
Absent Carolyn Coles
After Mr. Jones read the rules of procedure for the public hearing, the following items were
discussed:
1. AD~roval of Minutes - April
There being no additions and/or corrections, Mrs. Duerk made a motion to approve the
minutes of the April 5, 1995, meeting of the Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Chrisman and approved 5-0.
Branch Hi~,hways. Inc,
Property located off of Lynn Brae Drive. N.E.. Tax No. 7150102
Rezone from LM to I-IM. conditional
Mr. Don Wetherington appeared before the Commission on behalf of the petitioner. He
stated that after last month's hearing on the matter, City staff as well as a Planning
Commissioner had followed his suggestion to visit a similar asphalt manufacturing facility in
Fairfax City, Virginia. He said that he would like to discuss all the considerations that might
influence the Commission's thinking. He explained that Branch Highways was a major road
builder in the Roanoke Valley and was recognized as one of the top 200 contractors in the
country. He said that he was requesting that an approximately 11 acre site be rezoned from
LM to I-IM, with very specific proffered conditions that would allow for the construction and
operation of an asphalt manufacturing facility. He said that the property had been idle for
many, many years.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Bradshaw arrived (1:40 p.m.)
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 2
May 3, 1995
Mr. Wetherington stated that the property in question was suited for this type of operation
over any other site that he had seen. He said that an exhaustive site search had been done.
Mr. Wetherington further stated that a trucking concern had already expressed some interest
in the site, but he felt the asphalt manufacturing facility was a much better use for the
property. He stated that if there was ever a "win-win" zoning proposal, he felt this request
was it. He said that the proposal would allow an essential and worthwhile activity on a site
that is suited for that purpose. He explained that the facility would cause no burden to the
public at large, the residents, or the businesses in the immediate vicinity of the property. He
said that on the plus side, the proposal would provide positive impact on the local economy
by providing jobs and tax revenue,
Mr. Wetherington said that the next question was whether or not the proposed operation or
use would interfere in anyway with the those on surrounding properties who have a
recognized right to use and enjoy their own property. He said that he had looked at six
considerations: (1) impact on the environment; (2) site considerations (visual); (3) noise; (4)
dust; (5) odor; and (6) traffic. He said that before commenting on the six considerations, he
would like to discuss the nature of the operation and the setting that the site provided for the
operation of the plant. He said that he had learned that the initial images of the asphalt plant
were unfounded. He said that there was no justification for negative images at all. He said
that on a drum mix type asphalt plant, all raw materials were brought to and stored in bins
until they were mixed and they were mixed in a completely enclosed drum. He said that the
material was stored in bins until delivery.
Mr. Wetherington discussed the site layout and presented a color rendered of the proffered
concept plan. He said that the amended plan showed more detailing of the paving that
would be involved and the trees and plantings that would be on several sides of the site. He
noted that the elevation of the grade was 20 feet higher than the elevation of the McDonald's
parking lot and that the plantings on the berm were already partly in place. Mr.
Wetherington also noted that he had revised proffers that he would be filing.
Relative to odor, Mr. Wetherington stated that he did not know of anyway to quantify odor.
He said that there would be no discernible odor to migrate across the property line. He said
there were no vapors what would rise from the operation, except water vapor. He said that
those who had seen the Fairfax operation would say that they could stand in the plant yard
and not find odor to be an issue. He also said that he had visited adjoining property owners
of the Fairfax facility and had questioned them about the odor and had been told that there
were no offensive odors or nuisances with the operation.
Relative to the visual impact of the site, Mr. Wetherington noted that the actual
manufacturing process would not be seen from any location. He said that he did not want
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 3
May 3, 1995
the plant to be offensive and it was not. He said that the top of the berm would be 20 feet
above plant level and that there would be extensive trees and conifers on the berm. He said
that he had looked at the existing tree line and once the berm was constructed, he felt that if
any part of the silo would be visible from any location, it would only be the very top of the
silo itself. He said that he had driven to the Wildwood residential area and looked over to
the area and he could not see the balloon that had been sited to represent the height of the
silo. He noted that he could, however, see the commercial activities on Route 460 from the
Wildwood area.
Mr. Wetherington said that he had considered traffic. He said that Branch estimated that
possibly 200 trips would be generated by the operation during peak activities. He said that
200 vehicular trips on Route 460 did not represent an appreciable difference. He said that
the trips represented the delivery of aggregate to the site and the product away from the site.
He said that he assumed the demand for asphalt would be met and a fixed number of trips of
aggregate would be delivered and a fixed amount of asphalt would be delivered, regardless of
where the operation was located. I-Ie said that it was not fair to consider that the operation
was going to increase the number of trips in and around the area by 200 because that just
wasn't so. He also noted that the Statesman Park and the highways in the area had been
designed for this type of traffic.
Relative to environmental concerns, Mr. Wetherington stated that this type of operation was
strictly regulated and periodically monitored. He said that there were published particle
emission standards and it was well established that particular emission from a plant of this
type was less than 10% of the allowable maximum. He said that there would be some
production of heat and water vapor and an occasional discernible plume with water vapor
only. He said there were no non-toxic materials that were used or produced, either as a
direct- or by-product. He said there would be no contamination and the finished asphalt
product, even if it were to spill, tended to congeal once it hit the ground because of the
difference in temperature. He said there was no danger or threat to the groundwater, the
earth or the environment. He said that he felt there had been a certain amount of
misinformation that had been generated and passed along in connection with the proposal.
He said that he understood that individuals had questioned whether benzene would be
produced. He said that he had a letter from Shell Oil Company, whom he considered an
authoritative third party source, which negates the information relative to benzene. He said
that benzene was not an issue. Mr. Wetherington said that someone had questioned whether
carbon monoxide was a by-product and might somehow threaten the surrounding area. He
said that it was fair to say that carbon monoxide in some quality was always produced in
connection with combustion of any type. He said that from the studies he had seen, and
authoritative published results of analyses of these types of operations, carbon monoxide, if
produced at all, would not be measurable.

May 3, 1995
On the subject of dust, Mr. Wetherington stated that in the visit to the Faiffax plant, dust had
been detected. He said that dust would not be a factor at the Roanoke plant because truck
traffic would be using paved roadways, as opposed to gravel ones used in Faiffax. He said
there would be no dust produced by the manufacturing operation because everything was
done in enclosed bins. He said that the berm and plant material would also mitigated any
dust if it was produced at ail.
Relative to noise, Mr. Wetherington stated that was measurable. He noted, however, that in
visiting the Fairfax plant, noise had been a non-event. He said that there would be no noise
generated at the proposed site.
Mr. Wetherington said that he had not found any reason why the proposal would be expected
to be bothersome to anyone around it in any respect. He said that in his experience in
zoning and land use work, there was almost always some consideration that had to be
minimized or explained away. He said that there was no problem with this request. He said
that some of ~he misinformation that might have been generated in the area might have arisen
from activities in Botetourt. He explained that Branch Highways had looked at a site in
Botetourt County, but had not pursued a site there because of the road conditions. He gave
Commission members a copy of a letter from .Stephen C. Rossi, Public Relations
SP0kesperson for the Blue Ridge Concerned Citizens, who stated his comments had been
misinterpreted relative to the Branch Highways asphalt plant. A copy of Mr. Rossi's letter is
attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mr. Wetherington then read the letter
from Mr. Rossi.
Mr. Wetherington detailed Branch Highway's concern for the nearby property owners, noting
that he had talked with all adjoining property owners and heard no objection. He said that
he had gone to great lengths to get the truth out to the adjoining property owners and had felt
that if they were comfortable, he was not sure where to go from there. He further stated
that he had received some calls from residents of the area and he was pleased to go over the
request with them. He also stated that. he had made an effort to reach the Wildwood
residential area through Mr. Stroop. Mr. Wetherington said he had tried to reach those that
spoke at last month's hearing on the matter. He said that it had also come to his attention
that residents in Roanoke County had raised some questions and concerns. He said that he
had contacted the county supervisor for the Hollins area,~ as well as the head of economic
development in Roanoke County to discuss the proposal. He noted that he had also spoken
with Ms. Carolyn Johnson, representing the LaBeltevue subdivision who had been very
cooperative and had tried to set up a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Wetherington said that
Branch Highways was a hometown company and resident of the City itself. He said that it
had a reputation for integrity and quality. He said that he had done everything he could
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 5
May 3, 1995
reasonably be expected to do and he asked for the Commission's favorable consideration of
the request.
Mr. John Marlles gave the staff report on the request. He said that initially staff had had a
number of concerns relating to the proposed use of the site; i.e., screening and buffering
from adjoining property; traffic and access; and possible odor, noise and dust. He said that
following the public hearing in April, he had received numerous calls, primarily from
residents of the LaBeIlevue subdivision in the County and from residents living in the City
along King Street, noting concerns with benzene and potential fire hazard. He said he felt
most of those concerns had been addressed thoroughly. He noted that as far as a potential
fire hazard was concerned, he had contacted the Roanoke City Fire Department and been
assured that as long as the plant was constructed to Virginia Fire Protection Code standards
and BOCA standards, the facility did not pose a fn'e ha?axd.
Mr. Marlles said that he would like to elaborate more on the trip that he, Vice Chairman
Jones, and Phil Sparks, the City's acting chief of economic development, had made to the
Fairfax City plant. He said that the proposed facility would be very similar to the Fairfax
facility. He noted, however, that the Fairfax facility was located on a 2+ acre site, while
this facility was proposed for an 11 + acre site. He said that he had found similar
surrounding land uses, with the exception of a residential development within 350 of the
Fairfax plant. He said that the closest residential development to the Branch site was some
1,650 feet, in the Springtree area and 4,800 to 6,000 feet in the LaBellevue area in the
County.
Mr. Marlles said that they had toured the Faiffax plant and interviewed the plant manager.
He noted that the Fairfax plant site was not paved, but graveled, and some dust was
generated by trucks traveling across the graveled roadway and parking lot. He said they had
observed no dust from the actual operation. He also noted that they had randomly talked
with approximately 15 business owners, employees and residents living and working in the
area surrounding the plant and many were not even aware of the operation. He said that
several people defended the plant and were even defensive about speaking to him about it.
He said that the only concern they heard was about the dust. He noted that odor was never
mentioned. Mr. Marlles further commented that he had contacted the City of Fairfax
Planning and Economic Development offices and had been told that no concerns or
complaints had been registered concerning the plant. Mr. Marlles also stated that he had
talked with the Botetourt County officials relative to the proposal in Botetourt County and
had been told that the primary concern had been that the roads providing aCCess to the
proposed site under consideration were inadequate.

Mr. Marlles stated that staff recommended approval of the request. He said that the
information provided by the petitioner and the proffered conditions, as well as the amended
site plan, addressed the concerns that had been identified by staff. He said that he had met
numerous times with the petitioner and the proffers had been worked out to staff's
satisfaction.
Mr. Talevi stated that he had questions about two of the proffers. He said that proffers cut
back on the rights of the developer and were not intended to bind City Council or the Zoning
Administrator. He said that proffers must be enforceable by the zoning administrator. He
referred to proffer 4A, noting that the first part, :"The property will be used only as a
manufacturing establishment primarily engaged in the manufacture, assembly, mixing,
processing or other process related to the creation of asphalt" was f'me because it stated the
use which the petitioner promised to use the property for. He noted, however, that problem
was in the last clause, "together with all accessory uses, including sales and administrative
activities." He said that the developer was trying to protect his rights as far as use of the
property was concerned, and he could understand that, He noted, however, that it was not
appropriate to put that in the form of a proffer because it was an attempt to bind the hands of
City Council and the Zoning Administrator. He said that under Section 36.1-530, the
principle use also includes accessory uses, which are defined in the zoning ordinance. He
said that if a developer wanted to protect himself and insure that it can engage in sales and
administrative activities, than the developer can get a zoning verification from the Zoning
Administrator.
Mr. Talevi then referred to end of Proffer 4B, which stated - existing trees and plantings,
may, but need not be disturbed or moved. He said that was not an enforceable clause, but
an attempt to preserve the developer's position. He said that those two clauses should be
stricken from the proffers.
Mr. Bradshaw said that both proffers were redundant.
Mr. Wetherington said that he had a different reading than Mr. Talevi. He said that he was
not trying to tie anyone's hands but he wanted to make sure that since he was specifying the
type of activity he would be able to include the sales and administrative activities.'
Mr. Marlles stated he would be glad to give him a letter to that effect from the Zoning
Administrator.
Mr. Wetherington then commented on the trees and plantings. He noted that he did not
understand the enforcement question. He said that he wanted to make sure that the trees
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 7
May 3, 1995
presently on the site could remain and not be replaced by the plantings specified on the
proffered site plan.
There was discussion relative to this clause by members of the Commission. It was noted
that the landscaping issues would be reviewed under site plan review by City staff and it was
further noted by Mr. Wetherington that he wanted to make it clear that the proffer of the
particular plantings on the berm would not be construed to mean that the other plantings
would be cleared.
Mrs. Duerk asked if any citizens had made the Fairfax trip.
Mr. Marlles responded that he had contacted Mr. Roy Stroop,. president of the Wildwood
Civic League and had tried to get four different citizens to accompany him on the trip. He
said that because of scheduling conflicts, no one had been able to go.
Mrs. Duerk asked if anyone knew the date of construction of the Fairfax plant.
Mr. Marlles said that the plant had been there at least since 1984. He said that the proposed
facility would .be more modern than the plant which they visited in Fairfax.
Mr. Jones then opened the floor for discussion from the audience, noting that anyone
desiring to speak must register and would be given three minutes to make remarks.
Ms. Virginia Rhodes (3258 Richards Avenue, N.E.) appeared before the commission and
stated that she did not want the change from light industry to heavy industry. She mentioned
the construction of the civic center and the recent renovations of the Hotel Roanoke and the
possibility of the gateway to Roanoke becoming lined with heavy industry. She said that the
property was valuable, but not as an asphalt plant. She said that she was opposed to it. She
further stated that she was from the Wildwood Civic I.eague and Mr. Stroop was not
representing her. She said that she admired Branch for wanting to build something, but she
did not want it at this location. Ms. Rhodes also mentioned the Adams construction
company and the traffic that would be put on Route 460. She asked the Commission not to
approve the request.
Mr. Jim Phillips (3516 Brookrun Drive, N.E.) appeared before the Commission and stated
that lie felt his neighborhood would be adversely impacted by the proposed rezoning. He
said that the people of his community were middle to lower middle class people who had
worked hard and yet struggled to purchase a home. He said that he was also speaking for a
Mrs. Zimmerman who was also opposed to the rezoning. He said that the danger in
producing and handling this material had been misrepresented to everyone. He said that he
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 8
May 3, 1995
would be quoting from a material safety data sheet put out by Shell Oil. He noted that
"breathing the asphalt aerosol or asphalt smoke for protracted periods of time has produced
damage to the lungs of mice. Among the changes observed were bronchitis, pneumonifis,
and abscess formation. Asphalt fume condensates have been known to produce a
tumorigenic response when repeatedly applied to the skin of experimental animals. The
relevance of this data to humans is not known at this time." were stated on the data sheet.
Mr. Phillips further commented that the Honeytree Eariy I-earning Center, 500 yards up the
street, did not know anything about this request. He stated that he had talked with them and
found out there were 140 children who played outside. He read other information from the
data sheet relative to hydrogen sulfide, which he felt was of concern to the children at the
day care center. He asked what the long-term effect would be on the children. Mr. Phillips
also mentioned those chemicals which could not been seen or smelled and asked what impact
they would have.
Mr. Phillips also discussed the fire hazard and said that you could not use water to put out a
chemical fire. He said that he talked with the City fire department and was told that a dry
chemical or foam would have to be used. He said that he asked if the City had enough of
the chemicals or foam to fight such a fire and was told that it the facility burned it would
make national news. He said that the only track the City had that was large enough to fight
such a fire was a foam track at the airport. He also commented on the fumes that would be
produced by such a fire. Mr. Phillips also questioned Honeytree on how they would
evacuate in case of fire and was told they Would do it in shifts.
Mr. Phillips further commented on the remarks from Mr. Rossi. He stated that Mr. Rossi
had previously been a vice president of Branch Highways and he was concerned about the
comments Mr. Rossi had made in the newspaper when he spoke adamantly against the
proposal. Mr. Phillips further stated that he had met with Mr. Shivers of Branch Highways
and had listened to the issues. He said that he had asked Mr. Shivers for a materials data
sheet, had been given one, but had been asked not to distribute the information. In
conclusion he asked that the Commission deny the request.
Mr. Bradshaw asked that the data sheet be placed in the file.
Mr. Obediah Overstreet (3203 King Street, N.E.) appeared before the Commission and stated
that his residence was surrounded by industry, with Tultex on one side and Vitramon on the
other. He discussed the problems associated with the Vitramon site and noted that he was
sure this site would produce the same problems; i.e., noise, lack of buffering, and traffic.
He said that traffic in the area was out of control and he did not think the plant was needed
in the area. He said he was opposed to the request.
Roanoke City Planning Commission

May 3, 1995
Mr. Buddy Davis (#I Homestead Lane, N.E.) appeared before the Commission and stated
that he lived in the County, down wind of the proposed plant. He said he was concerned
about the odor. He questioned the Commission and applicant about access to the proposed
site. He stated that there was a landfill in the area and advised the Commission that they had
traveled across the cap of the landfill when they had visited the property.
Mr. Bradshaw responded that it was proposed to come off of Mary Linda Avenue. He said
that he did not think the access would go across the landfill.
Mr. Don Wetherington appeared before the Commission and stated that a condition had been
proffered that truck access to and from the Site would beby way of Statesman Industrial
Park. He said that the access from a point at the terminus of Mary Linda was one possibility
and there were other options available. He stated he was aware the landfill was there and
understood that all applicable rules and regulations would have to be met and complied with
in orde~ to enjoy the access. He said he was working on that. He said there would be no
asphalt plant if there could be no access for the trucks to and from the plant by means of
Statesman Park.
Mr. Davis said that he would be contacting appropriate state agencies in reference to the
landfill once he left the meeting. He said he knew everyone drove across the cap of the
landfill and according to regulations that was not allowed.
Mr. Ray Barbour (682 Montrose Avenue, S.E.) appeared before the Commission. He stated
that he did not live in the area, but lived in a section that had industry which produced an
odor for 30-40 years. He commented that he did not understand how no dust could be
produced and he foresaw problems unless there were guarantees.
Mr. Noel Levan (3306 Dogwood Hill Road, N.E.) appeared before the Commission and
stated that he was concerned about storm water runoff from the proposed plant. He said that
anytime construction or development took place there was potential for runoff to increase in
low lying areas. He noted that he was also concerned with the type of runoff. He said that
King Street was in the flood plain and already had inadequate sewer systems. He said that
any additional development would add to the runoff problem. He said he would like to know
how that would be addressed. He said that in looking at the plans he could not see any
arrangements for a drainage system.
Mr. Butler advised Mr. Levan that the plans were conceptual in nature and asked Mr.
Marlles to briefly describe the drainage policy.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
Page 10
May 3, 1995
Mr. Marlles stated that storm water management was handled by staff during the
development plan review stage of a development. He said that the developer would be
required to provide on-site storm water detention. He also noted that the City had a "O"
runoff policy which means that no more runoff can come off a site after development than
was already being produced on site.
Mr. Tim Lipteck (3269 Richards Avenue, N.E.) appeared before the Commission and stated
he was interested in having a peaceful and enjoyable place to live for a long time coming.
He said that he disagreed with the time limit and the meeting time because it was
inconvenient to those who worked. He said that the statements made that there would be no
impact to anyone in the area were false and he objected to the request. He said that the
rezoning was objected to in Botetourt County because the people did not want the plant there.
He said that the plant served no profit to the citizens and in the long run it would not satisfy
the people paying taxes in the City. He said that common sense would tell you there would
be odors and the potential for dust was there. ' He said there would be noise and there would
be traffic. He said that the number of trucks on the road would not help the traffic situation.
He further stated that runoff and flooding were other issues. He said that the statement that
the materials would not be toxic was not true. He said they would be toxic and would harm
anything that consumed them. I-Ie said there would also be a decrease in property value in
the residential areas. He noted that the whole issue was money. He said that the area
should not be heavy industrial and personally saw no reason for it because it did not benefit
him.
Mr. Roy Stroop (President of the Wildwood Civic League) appeared before the Commission
and stated that he had asked the civic league if they had wanted to take any action on the
request, either pro or con. He said that it had been decided to leave it to the neighborhood
people to decide. He said that he could not represent the civic league on the issue. He said
that he was present as a private citizen and was neutral on the request. He said that he had
received calls from people who were both in favor of and opposed to the request.
Mr. Jones adjourned for 5 minutes before action was taken.
At the end of the recess, Mr. Jones noted that public comment was closed and asked for
Commission comment.
Mr. Bradshaw stated that it seemed there were very emotional opinions in the audience and
he did not know the causes of it. He said that it seemed to be rooted in a lot of
misconceptions. He said that one misconception was the fumes. He noted that the same
warning was on the gas pumps people used when filling up their car. He also talked about
the misconception relative to the fire haTard. He noted there was more asphalt going down

the railroad tracts on a regular basis than would every be stored on the site at one time. He
said there were fire protection systems for this type of plant and he was sure Branch would
have some type of fire protection system. He also noted that the likelihood of an asphalt
plant fire was few and far between. He said that a fire from petroleum tank farms, like
those in the area, was much more' likely to happen.
Mr. Bradshaw compared the citizen opposition to this request to that of the trash transfer
station on Hollins Road. He said that in the beginning people had voiced the same concerns,
in an even stronger manner about odor, traffic, dust, unknown toxins, lower property values
once plans for the transfer station had been revealed. He said that to date he has not heard
one complaint about the facility.
Mr. Bradshaw also noted that it had been pointed out that the site was next to a landfill. He
said that it was incomprehensible to him in today's time that a developer would be allowed to
put the landfill on the site. He said that the landfill was a detraction and there was no way
any motel, hotel, shopping center or housing would be developed on the site under
consideration. He said that for planning purposes, something compatible to a landfill needed
to be developed on the property. He said that he felt the asphalt plant would be a use that
would not cause any harm. Mr. Bradshaw said that the first speaker had said that heavy
industry would be allowed along the entire strip. He said that was not happening and that
the rezoning was for a single parcel of land to use it for a very restrictive heavy
manufacturing utilization. He said that any other utilization of the site would have to come
back to the Planning Commission and go through the same process. He said there was no
intention on the part of the Planning Commission to expand the zoning for any other heavy
manufacturing usage. He said that if a use could be found that could go on top of the
landfill, then he might be inclined to look at it. He said that residential or commercial
development could not go in an area with a landfill.
Mr. Bradshaw stated that the proposed plant was not the same as those built 20 years ago.
He said that with the environmental requirements that were currently imposed on the
industry, the City of Roanoke would not find the proposed plant objectionable. He said that
he did not understand the heavy opposition to the request. He said that the day care center
was over almost a quarter of a mile away. He said that in his engineering judgement
imagine any sort of activity that would occur at the plant that would in anyway be identified
at the day care center. He said that he heard the objection, but was not convinced with the
arguments. He said that he thought the objections were more emotional and based on a lack
of understanding of the impact the plant would have. He said he felt the request was in the
best interest of the City and that Branch should be allowed to place this modern facility on
the site.

Mrs. Duerk stated that one concern she had heard today was noise, and asked if there was
any restriction on the hours of operation.
Mr. Marlles responded that there was no proffer in the current petition dealing with noise.
He said that based on the site trip to Fairfax, there was no noise detectable off-site. He said
that the Roanoke site contained 11.6 acres and was much further away from its perimeter.
He said that noise had not been an issue based on comments from interviews with citizens.
Mr. Bradshaw said that he thought it was safe to say that there would be activity at the plant
during the evenings because late at night was when paving was done on major highways. He
said that he would hate to see a restriction on night operations.
Mr. Jones said that he had visited the site in Fairfax while it was in operation. He said that
he coUld not detect any odor of asphalt, except when he was standing three to four feet away
from the trucks as they were being loaded. He said there was no noise on site and he had
heard no comments from the people he interviewed about noise. He noted that the amount of
additional traffic was minuscule to what was already o'n the roadway now.
There being no further discussion, Mr. Bradshaw moved to approve the request as proffered.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Hill and unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Re: Asphalt Plant Zoning
Dear Mr. Marlles,
Thank you for the time you have taken to visit an asphalt plant
site in Fairfax, to better understand our proposed site use.
I hope the visit has satisfied some of your concerns regarding odor
and coexistance with neighbors.
The following information is submitted to include in your report to
satisfy other concerns that have been mention by you or others.
Environmental and regulatory control:
I enclose herewith a list of regulatory agencies that will
regularly inspect our site to give you assurance that the quality
of operation will be maintained over time.
Dust control:
Unlike the plant that we observed in Fairfax, the traffic areas of
our plant site will be paved thus minimizing dust. The storage
bins will be separated by wind panels to eliminate dust from cross
winds while dumping and in storage.
Benzene:
There are no benzene by-products produced by this operation.
Nighttime operations:
No nightime operations are planned as normal working hours, and if
projects call for nighttime laydown, the storage bins allow for
advanced production. This allows for finished product to be
delivered to a project without running the plant.
Nighttime lighting:
This plant would require little in the way of nighttime lighting
other than that on equipment which operates below the berm shield.
Also, this is a highly commercial area, any lighting would not be
noticed by neighboring businesses.
I am available to answer any other questions you may have.
ASPHALT INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS
Since the early 1970's environmental and safety controls
imposed on industry have dr&matically increased. The Clean Air
Act, the Clean Water Act, oil discharge prevention requirements,
sto~mwater controls and waste handling re~uletions have ell been
recently imposed on private industry and have si~nificantly
increased operating costs· The breadth and scope of the
implementation of all of these environmental controls by
industries such as the asphalt industry should provide the
general public with some assurance that the land, air and water
are now being carefully protected.
Some of the environmental protection requirements imposed on
a typical asphalt plant today include the following:
1. Clean Air Act Title V air operating permit- Will
require asphalt plants to control emissio~s of
pollutants at very low levels. Inspections are
routinely conducted by the Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) to assure compliance.
Virginia pollution discharge elimination system (VPDES)
permits - Any asphalt plant that discharges process
water must have a VPDES permit and meet strict water
pollution control requirements. Inspections are
conducted by DEQ to assure compliance.
~eneral stormw&ter permits - All asphalt plants must
obtain this DEQ permit and control the quality of
rainfall runoff fro~ the plant site.
Underground oil storage tank program - Any underground
oil tanks must be registered with DEQ with routine
tightness tests and spill prevention equipment
installed.
Above ground oil storage tanks - Asphalt plants are
required to sul~nit oil discharge contingency plans to
DEQ which are designed to prevent any oil spills from
4~.&cting surface or ground water·
Emergency Planning and Co=~unity Right To Know Act
Asphalt plants must provide local emergency response
officials with information on any hazardous products
stored or used on site.
Page 2
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act - Drivers must be
trained and certified to handle hazardous wastes. Rules
must be followed on record keeping, loading and
unloading, storage and shipping.
Occupational safety and health requirements - Extensive
requirements must be met to ensure that workers at
asphalt plants are protected from exposure to fumes,
noise, workplace hazards, unsanitary conditions and a
host of other worker risks·
In s,,~"mry, asphalt plants are subject to extensive
environmental and safety regulations. The people working at
these facilities as well as any nearby residents should feel that
their health and well-being is not in anyway being threatened by
these operations.

Re:
Branch Highways Request to Rezone Tax Pamel No. 7150102
From LM to HM
Dear Mr. Marlles:
We have reviewed your report and recommendation to the Planning Commission regarding the
referenced project and wish to make you aware of our concerns. Lowe's owns more property
contiguous to the Branch parcel than any other entity. At present, a portion of our property is
used for a Contractor Yard facility, but is also being marketed to sell. Although the petitioner has
proffered certain conditions to mitigate the exposure of the neighboring owners, we are concerned
these do not adequately address our situation.
Our areas of concern include:
· insufficient side yard setback
· insufficient berm width at the northeast corner
· insufficient number and unspecified size of buffer plant material
· unpaved internal areas
· the necessity of rezoning the entire 11.673 acre tract when only a portion will utilized as HM
Lowe's is willing to conditionally consent to Branch's petition based on the petitioner's willingness
to adequately address our concerns.

First Amended
Petition to Rezone
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROANOKE:
1. Branch Highways, Inc. ("Branch"), the Petitioner, has
contracted to buy from Billy H. Branch, a tract of land
("Property") in the City of Roanoke, Virginia designated Parcel
C, according to Plat of Section 1, Statesman Plaza, dated June
5, 1985 by T. P. Parker & Son, and recorded in the Office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court of the City of Roanoke in Map Book 1,
page 472. A copy of this plat is attached as Exhibit A. The
Property is designated by the Official Tax Number 7150102. The
total lot area requested for rezoning is 11.673 acres, according
to the plat.
2. The Property is presently zoned LM, Light
Manufacturing District, subject to conditions. The relative
location of the Property and the classification and extent of
adjacent zoning districts are shown on Exhibit B.
3. The Property is currently vacant and without any
development. Branch (or an affiliate corporation organized
specifically for the purpose) wishes to construct on the
Property a state-of-the-art bituminous concrete plant for the
Wethe~ngton, Melchionna,
Terry, Day & Ammar
production of asphalt and use the Property for that and related
sales and administrative activities.
4. Branch requests that the Property be rezoned from LM,
Light Manufacturing District, with conditions, to HM, Heavy
Manufacturing District, subject only to the following
conditions:
(a) The Property will be used only as a
manufacturing establishment primarily engaged in the
manufacture, assembly, mixing, processing or other
process related to the creation of asphalt, together
with all accessory uses including sales and
administrative activities.
(b) A berm will be constructed and trees and
shrubs set and maintained at the southerly end of the
Tract in the location and at elevations shown on the
site plan attached as Exhibit C.
(c) Construction of the plant will be in
substantial conformity to the location and layout
depicted on the attached site plan.
(d) Trucks that deliver raw materials to the
Property for the manufacturing process and trucks that

the east. If no such right of access has been
obtained by April 1, 1998, then the zoning
classification for the Property will automatically
revert to its classification, subject to the same
conditions, as in effect on April 1, 1995, without any
further or other action by the Council of the City of
Roanoke. Upon the request by or on behalf of the
Roanoke City Planning Commission, the Petitioner will
provide an explanation of the location and nature of
the right of access, once obtained.
5. Rezoning this Tract as requested will further the
intent and purpose of the City's Zoning Ordinance and its
comprehensive plan by facilitating a necessary manufacturing
activity, while providing against effects potentially harmful to
adjacent and surrounding districts. This rezoning will
encourage and promote economic development activities that
provide desirable employment and enlarge the tax base.

owners of all property adjacent to the property for which
rezoning is requested.
