Re: Licensure of contractors and subcontractors
on City-owned construction projects
Dear Mayor Bowers and Council Members:
Members of City Council have expressed concern that unlicensed
contractors and subcontractors may be performing construction
within the City. This report is intended to outline the procedures
that the City has put in place in an effort to avoid such illegal
activity on City-owned construction projects.
By way of background, it is a violation State law for any
person to engage in contracting or to bid upon construction or to
consider awarding a construction bid to any person not properly
licensed. See ~54.1-1115, Code of Virginia (1905), as amended.
Any person violating ~54.1-1115 is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor
punishable by confinement in Jail for not more than twelve months
and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both. In addition,
any person in violation of §54.1-1115 may be fined up to $200 per
day for each day of violation. The Virginia Department of
Professional and Occupational Regulation regulates contractors and
the Commonwealth's Attorney for each locality prosecutes violations
occurring in his or her jurisdiction.
Violation of State law as to contractor licensure can occur on
private construction projects or public construction projects. The
vast majority of construction projects being performed within the
City are, of course, private projects, and the City has only a
minor role in regulating private sector construction contracts.
The City's building inspector is prohibited from issuing any
building permit unless a contractor furnishes his license or
certificate number or evidence of exemption from licensure. See
~15.1-1111, State Code. Other than the role of the local building
inspector, State statutes and regulations have preempted City
regulation of private sector contracts.
As an owner, the City does have power to deal with licensure
of contractors and subcontractors on City construction projects.
To achieve the goal that only licensed contractors and
subcontractors should perform work on construction projects to
which the City is a party, the City has implemented the following
procedures:
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
September 25, 1995
Page 2
The Engineering Department verifies the
license of any contractor bidding on a City
project with the State Department of
Professional and Occupational Regulation. No
bid from an unlicensed contractor will be
considered.
Instructions to Bidders prohibit receipt or
consideration of any bid from a bidder who is
not properly licensed.
General Conditions to City contracts require a
contractor to obtain all required licenses and
permits.
General Conditions also require each
contractor to verify that all subcontractors
hold all necessary State and local licenses.
Contractors may also be required to submit a
list of subcontractors which cannot be changed
except upon approval of the City Engineer.
A new certificate has recently been
recommended by the City Attorney and included
in the City construction document package.
The certificate requires each contractor to
certify under oath that he has verified all
subcontractors hold required State licenses.
Contractors are also required to certify under
oath that they will verify any additional
subcontractors employed to work on a project
have all required State licenses. Violation
of the certificate constitutes a material
breach of contract.
The City Manager has, acting pursuant to
authority under State Code (S11-46.1),
recently promulgated a debarment procedure
which provides that contractors may be
debarred for breach of contract with the City
or for conviction of any criminal offense.
The debarment procedure would allow the City
Manager to debar for up to three years a
contractor who is not properly licensed or who
uses unlicensed subcontractors on a City
construction project.
The Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
September 25, 1995
Page 3
Information as to any unlicensed contractors
or subcontractors working on City-owned
construction projects will be turned over to
the Commonwealth's Attorney for his review and
decision as to prosecution.
The City administration is firmly committed to doing business
only with licensed contractors and having only licensed
subcontractors participate on City-owned construction projects. To
this end, the foregoing procedures have been implemented. We
believe these procedures will prove to be strong and effective, and
will continue to monitor their effectiveness in dealing with this
important public issue.
Very truly yours,
W. Robert Herbert

Dear Members of Council:
As you will recall, the Roanoke City School Board approved a resolution for the
Roanoke City Public Schools to participate in the 1995 Virginia Public School Authority (VPSA)
bond issue and request the City of Roanoke to issue its general obligation school bonds in an

School and Jackson Middle School. City Council adopted a resolution on September I I
authorizing application to the VPSA and the issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount
not to exceed $4,400,000.00.
In order to meet the timeline established by the VPSA, the Board respectfully requests
City Council to hold a public hearing on October 16, 199.5, regarding the issuance of general
obligation bonds.
The Board appreciates Council's assistance in this matter.

Re: Potbellied Pigs as pets
To Whom It May Concern:
In 1985, a Canadian exotic animal importer/breeder, Keith
Connell, imported the first potbellied pigs into Canada. They
were destined for zoos originally, but in 1986, Californian
Kayla Mull recognized their suitability as pets, and began to
promote them. Soon, others took notice of these unique animals
and the interest in their small size, gentle disposition, immense
affection and keen intelligence grew.
Since the first few Americans purchased potbellied pigs, many
more have fallen in love with these special creatures. People
who have always enjoyed pigs have become especially enamored with
the suitability of these animals to indoor living. Preferring an
average living temperature of 65-85, these mini-pigs fit quite
comfortably into the average household. Size-wise, the
potbellied pig can weigh 35-100 lbs. if a pet, or up to ~50 lbs.
if a breeding animal, and stand up to 22" at the shoulder. They
quickly learn to potty in a litter box like a cat, or go outside
like a dog. Potbellied pigs desire a warm, clean environment,
and will go out of their way to keep it that way, even if it
means holding their potty for a long time. Potbellied pigs are
odorless [except for non-neutered boars] and seldom, if ever,
shed.
At one time, there were concerns for what effect potbellied pigs
had on human health. A study was done by a California university
which concluded that potbellied pigs posed fewer threats to human
health and safety than dogs and cats in a typical residential
setting. This, combined with the already mild nature of the
potbellied pig, results in far fewer cases of animal bJ~tes and
disease transmission through saliva and feces than can be
attributed to dogs and cats. Also, because potbellied pigs have
hair, not fur like dogs and cats, they have become very desirable
among highly allergic individuals.
As a registry, we strive to preserve the quality and pureness of
the potbellied pig breed by keeping extensive records on all our
registered pigs. We are the only Registry that requires pictures
of the pigs and their litters at the time of registration. Each
pig registered with us is traceable to one or more documented
potbellied pig import groups. Pigs with questionable pedigrees
or exhibiting genetic defects are not granted registration
papers. We recommend all potbellied pigs are registered for the
purposes of permanent record and as definitive proof of pedigree.
For more information concerning the potbellied pig, please feel
free to contact The Potbellied Pig Registry Service, Inc., at
P.O. Box 680, Pleasant Grove, CA 95668, or [916] 655-1744. They
have a wide variety of information on file to help answer any
questions you may have, as well as an extensive list of
specialists from whom you can learn more. Thank you for your
time and consideration.

RECEIVED
SEP 2 2 1995
MAYOR'S OFFICE
Dear Mayor Bowers:
As residents of the city of Roanoke, we would like to alert you to our concern for the well-being of
our city and neighborhood. We are faced with a problem today in Wasena that each of you could
find in your neighborhood tomorrow.
In the beginning of August, a family moved into the Wasena neighborhood and brought with them
two large Vietnamese Pot-Bellied pigs. As you are aware, Roanoke Code Section 6-7. (Limitation
o.n keeping cattle, sheep, goats and swine.) specifically prohibits the keeping of swine within the
city. The pigs were kept primarily in the front yard of the residence, the tenants having constructed
a make-shift pen. Within a couple of days, the odor from pig droppings began spreading throughout
the area. This is a transitional neighborhood with many long-term residents and many young
professionals who are dedicated to preserving the older homes of the city. We are one of the safest
sections of the city and the residents, their children and pets enjoy spending time outside in
recreational activities.
Over the course of two weeks following the pigs' arrival, the odor was pervasive and seriously
affected the neighbors' enjoyment of their own property. During this time, on more than one
occasion, the pigs were loose and roaming on neighbors' properties with Animal Control having to
be notified. The undersigned residents of the neighborhood attempted to resolve the problem with
the owner/landlord of the property, but he was uncooperative and refused to attempt a resolution.
On August 25, the pigs' owner was charged with violating the ordinance noted above, and several
neighbors were subpoenaed as witnesses. The case came before Judge Julian Raney in General
District Court on Monday, September 11, and the pigs' owner pleaded guilty to the violation. She
was given 14 days to remove the pigs from the property. She was also informed that she was
welcome to pursue the change of the ordinance through Roanoke City Council. As of today, she and
her husband are circulating a petition to present to City Council.
On September 18, a pig was loose and roaming the neighborhood. At least four calls were made to
911 per previous instructions to the neighbors by Officer Quesenberry of Animal Control. Neighbors
corralled the pig until Animal Control could pick it up and return it to the owner's property.
Hon. David Bowers
September 20, ! 995

The events of the past several weeks underscore the value of this ordinance. To change or liberalize
this ordinance to allow individuals to keep this variety of animal within the city will cause a
devaluation of our properties and make the city an undesirable place to reside.
If the City Council agenda ever includes a proposal to either repeal or change this ordinance,
the undersigned ask to be notified and given the opportunity to address City Council.
On behalf of all residents of the City of Roanoke, we urge City Council to maintain the current living
conditions afforded the residents of the city by the current ordinance and to resist any attempt to
liberalize the prohibition against keeping cattle or swine in the city.
Respectfully,
Statement of Thomas Blue to Roanoke City Council on September 25, 1995.
Mayor Bowers, Members of City Council:
My name is Thomas Blue. I am a resident of the City of Roanoke.
The ordinance in question was enacted to prevent the occurrence of nuisances within the city.
Those enacting the ordinance were wise enough to realize that it is inappropriate for cattle and
pigs to be kept in the city, where neighbors are in close proximity to each other. Whether
pigs are livestock or pets, they are still pigs - and their biological processes are the same.
Pigs, whether they are kept as livestock or pets, defecate and urinate outside. In a farm
setting, this presents little problem since the typical farm can be arranged to keep the pig pen
away from neighbors or living areas on the farm. In the city, this choice does not exist. On
a standard city lot, the pigs have to leave their droppings close to neighboring properties. It
is generally accepted and has been observed that pig manure smells. When these droppings
are concentrated in a small area like a city lot, it is impossible to keep this smell from
invading the neighboring properties. The fact that this has happened over the past two
months in Wasena only serves to prove these statements and show the appropriateness of the
ordinance. To amend the ordinance as proposed would only allow the nuisance, and the
offense to the neighbors, to continue.
The Thompsons have stated that they are very familiar with the keeping of Vietnamese Pot
Bellied pigs and have exhibited them at schools and nursing homes. As admirable as this
practice may be for educational purposes, the fact is that the pigs don't defecate and urinate in
the schools and nursing homes. They do it on the Thompson's property and close to their
neighbors' properties. This has been observed and documented by Roanoke City Animal
Control. The Thompsons have stated that they have a lot of experience in the keeping of pigs.
If the City was to amend the ordinance to allow the keeping of these animals, anyone would
be entitled to keep pigs in Roanoke. If the Thompsons, who are expert pig keepers, can't
maintain the animals without offense to their neighbors, how can the City expect a novice pig
owner to do better7
The ordinance as written properly recognizes that the keeping of cattle and pigs within the
city is a nuisance and offensive to neighbors; and I ask the City Council to dismiss any
request to amend this ordinance.

Honorable Mayor and Members of Counci 1:
! respectfully r~quest time on the agenda of the City Council
Meeting on September 25, 1995 at 3:00 in the afternoon. At Unat
time, I will present more signatures end additional input from
the concerned citizens of Cravens Cr~.~_~ Road ares. We remain
convinced that en eleven house subdivision on Cravens Creek will
jeopardize 1 ife end property in cur ares. This conviction has
motivated us to engage in further fact finding missions.
Consultations with engineers, research of t~e literature end
recent publications, end a review of the Roanoke City Code has
revealed interesting fact~ about I~t Menagement Practica~
relating to urban hydrology.
As we repc~-tad, the hazard potential to life end property is
significantly incr~-~ed by high density development locatad 1)
downstream of two earthen dams, end 2) on a stream which is
already pro~e to dangerous flooding. The high water lines we
witnee~ frequently mu~t be taken into consideration in drainage
calculations. Parh~p~ the system (current practi~) are
cresting the result we're ~eeiog. To chenge the result, we need
to change the system (current practic~). This would mean
eacrificing traditional preference8. The question is what can be
done4wl~chln the limitations of our pre~qt system to protect The
Roanoke River Baein ...and our neighborhood!

Infiltration Basins 6.11
_gnificantly reduce available storage and exfiltration capacity between
storms. This particular problem can be circumvented by using either the
side-by-side or off-line design variations. In most cases, the existenc~ of
baseflow at a potential basin location is a good tip-off that the site may
not be suitable for infiltration~ A wet pond or extended detention pond may
prove to be a better alternative on these sites.
Sediment Forebays
The longevity of an infiltration basin can be enhanced if sediment
for~e~s are constructed near the inlets to trap incoming sediment loads.
Forebays are also an important design element because 'they help to reduce
incoming water velocity, and distribute it more evenly across the basin
floor.
PHYSICAL SUITABILITY AT THE SITE LEVEL
Development sites should be carefully evaluated to be certain that they
are actually capable of disposing runoff via exfiltration. The following
factors should be examined early in the .site-planning stage to adequately
screen the feasibility of the site. More detailed guidance on feasibility
tests for basins can be found in Md WRA (1984).
Soils
Basin are not a feasible option on sites with g soils'\(infiltration
rates of less than 0.27 inches_per_hour), or any ~6~i with a cl~a~y~c~nten~t
greater than ~3~ (as determined from t~e SCS soil textural triangle). Silt
loams and sandy clay loams ("C" soils) prov_i~de marginal infiltration rates,
and should probably not be considered f6~ basin applications '~in '-most
circumstances (Table 6.2). Soils with a combined s~l~t/clay percentage of
over 40~__by weight are susceptible to frost-heave, and are not good
candidates for infiltration basin applications. Also, basin are unsuitable
if the site is located over fill soils that form an unstable subgrade, and
are prone to slope failure.
If the soils at a site pass these preliminary tests, an additional series
o~ soil cores or trenches should be gathered to a dept~ at least fi~ fp3t
below the elevation of the basin floor. Because soil conditions vary
substantially over short distances, up to 6 cores per trench may be needed at
each site to adequately characterize future infiltration capacity. These
should be examined for evidence of any impermeable soil strata that might
impede infiltration, such as localized clay lenses, hardpans, or fragipans.
The presence of such layers do not necessarily preclude a bas£n, as long as
it penetrates them completely.
Slope
Infiltration basins are not feasible if the slope of the contributing
watershed is greater than 20%. Within the basin itself, a slope of les~ than
5% is preferable.
Depth to Bedrock
At least four feet of clearance will be needed between the flqpr of the
basin and the bedrock' level. This data can be obtained from local soil maps
and should always be confirmed with soil test borings.
Chapter 6: Infiltratio~ Basins
apth to Seasonally High Water Table
A minimum of two to four feet of clearance is needed between the floor of
the basin and the seasonally high water table. This depth can be readily
determined from soil borings taken during we~ weather. High water tables
often present a majo? obstacle to the use of infiltration basins, since
basins are usually located in d~pressions at the low end of a watershed where
local water tables are located near the the ground surface.
Proximity to Wells and Foundations
Basins should be located at least 100 feet away from drinking wate~ wells
to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination, and should be
situated at least 10 feet down-gradient and 1QP~ep~_ up-gradient from
building foundations to avoid potential seepage problems.
Maximum Depth of Reservoir
To insure that the basin completely drains within 72 hours, it may be
necessary to limit the depth of the basin if underlying soils have relatively
low exfiltration rates. Recommended depth limits for basins are shown for
various soil textures in Table 6.2.
Watershed Size
Md WRA (1983b) suggests that basins can be applied to sites ranging from 5
to 50 acres in size. Other BMPs, such as extended detention ponds and wet
ponds, are better candidates on larger sites as they are more capable of
handling sustained baseflow.

language laboratory equipment at Patrick Henry High School, the purchase of

unappropriated balance of $1,378,302.
We recommend that you concur with this request of the School Board.

Dear Members of City Council:
Subject:
Acceptance of Victim Witness
Assistance Program Grant
I. Background
Victim/Witness Proqram is designed to recognize and
address the needs of victims and witnesses in the Roanoke
City Criminal Justice System and to continue the
commitment for citizen support.
Be
Roanoke City Victim/Witness/Juror Assistance Committee
(RCVWJ) was formed in the fall of 1983, by Judges and
Clerks of Circuit Court, General District and Juvenile
Courts, Commonwealth's Attorney, City Sheriff, Chief
Magistrate, Chief of Police, Director of Administration
and Public Safety, and Roanoke Bar Association.
Ce
Victim/Witness ProqFam was developed and utilized
volunteers in the court system to provide services to
support the needs of victims and witnesses.
De
The RCVWJ committee submitted the program to the State
with a request for full payment funding. A start-up
grant (#85A6252) was issued on July 1, 1984, in the
amount of $16,202 for FY 84-85 subject to proportional
annual local funding to be approved each year.
City council accepted the start-up grant in September,
1984, and hired a full-time program coordinator in
October, 1984. The program has been in continued
operation since then.

II. Current Situation
The Victim/Witness Assistance Proqram has been awarded a
twelve month $35,910 grant (#96-B8554VW95) for July 1995
through June 1996. This award will be matched by a local
cash match of $25,671, for a total grant budget of
$61,581.
The Victim/witness Proqram continues to operate with a
full-time coordinator, as well as a full-time assistant
for Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court. Duties have
expanded and increasingly greater contact has been made
with persons in need of program services. A summary of
FY 91-92, 92-93, 93-94, 94-95 contacts documents the
services of the program (see Attachment A).
The Victim/witness Program is coordinated by the Office
of the Commonwealth's Attorney and this office's FY 95-96
budget as approved by City Council included a local cash
match grant fund of $25,671 (appropriated as outlined in
Attachment B).

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Amendment 2 to the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Grant
Agreement with the Northwest Neighborhood Environmental
Organization (NNEO)
I. Back~round:
Since 1992, the City of Roanoke has received an annual allocation of HOME
funds from HUD. Fifteen percent of these funds are required to be set aside
for housing projects which are undertaken by a Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO).
Bo
City Council approved execution of an Agreement with NNEO, a CHDO, for
funding the rehabilitation of 802 and 807 Gilmer Avenue, N.W. utilizing HUD
funds available from the 1992 allocation of HOME funds by Resolution No.
31572-071293 on July 12, 1993.
City Council approved the execution of Amendment 1 to the aforementioned
Agreement by Resolution No. 32243-111494 on November 14, 1994 to specify
that NNEO is donating the pre-rehabilitation value of the properties in the
project, to remove contractual requirements no longer required by HUD, and
to provide for the NNEO to retain developer's fees upon the sale of the
properties.
Do
NNEO is permitted to recapture its own funds invested in the rehabilitation
and sale of the properties from the gross proceeds of the sale of houses (to the
extent such funds are available) according to Part 3 of Amendment 1.
Bo
$6,856.00 remains available in the City of Roanoke's 1994 HOME allocation
and is required to be set-aside for eligible CHDO project expenses.
II. Current Situation:
NNEO has completed the rehabilitation of 802 and 807 Gilmer Ave. N.W.
and has consequently sold these properties to eligible individuals.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Page 2
NNEO experienced unexpected bud~,et over-runs on 802 Gilmer Ave., N.W.
in the amount of $15.123.82 and on 807 Gilmer Ave., N.W. in the amount of
$1.221.50 during the rehabilitation phases of the projects. (See Attachment A)
Co
Property settlement statements document that there was a total of $2.901.33
available for NNEO to recapture to apply towards additional costs ($1,788.51
for 802 Gilmer Ave., N.W. and $1.112.82 for 807 Gilmer Ave., N.W.) after
the private lending institution and developer's fees were deducted.
Do
NNEO obtained a grant from Allstate and applied $7,070,00 in grant funds
towards these additional costs.
Eo
NNEO has requested $6.374.00 from the City's HOME CHDO funds for
reimbursement for the remaining HOME eligible expenses directly related to
the project's cost over-runs for 802 Gilmer Avenue.
Amendment 2 is necessary, to the 802 and 807 Gilmer Avenue, N.W.
project Agreement to increase NNEO's HOME funded budget by $6.374.00 to
a new total of $85.694.00.
III. Issues:
A. Cost to the City
B. Funding
C. Match
D. Documentation of Expenditures
E. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
Ao
Authorize the City Manager or the Assistant City Manager to execute, and the
City_ Clerk to attest, an Amendment 2 to the HOME Grant Agreement between
the City and NNEO for the 802 and 807 Gilmer Avenue N.W. project to
increase the city's HOME contribution by $6.374.00 to a total of $85.694.00,
(Attachment B) such amendment approved as to form by the City Attorney,
and approve the transfer of a total of $6.374.00 in HOME funds, as follows:
$6.374.00 from 1994 HOME CHDO account 035-052-5302-5238
to HOME NNEO account 035-052-5302-5242.
1. Cost to City will be $6,374,00 in 1994 HOME funds.
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Page 3
Funding for CHDO projects is available in HOME account number
035-052-5302-5238.
Re~_uired match for the HOME funds in the amount of $797.00 (the
required 12.5% of $6.374.00) has been confirmed as available for this
amendment by the Office of Grants Compliance.
Documentation of exvenditures has been received and reviewed as
eligible HOME expenses for this project by the Office of Grants
Compliance.
Timing is important as NNEO needs to be reimbursed with HOME
funds for these out of pocket expenditures so that other NNEO projects
and activities are not adversely affected.
Do not Authorize the City Manager or the Assistant City Mana~,er to execute,
and the City Clerk to attest, an Amendment 2 to the HOME Grant Agreement
between the City and NNEO for the 802 and 807 Gilmer Avenue N.W.
project, (Attachment B) such amendment approved as to form by the City
Attorney, and do not approve the transfer of a total of $6.374.00 in HOME
funds.
Cost to City will not be an issue. However, NNEO would have
expended an additional $6.374.00 for the 802 and 807 Gilmer Avenue,
N.W. project not reimbursed by the City, reducing NNEO's resources
to invest in other revitalization projects.
2. Funding would not be an issue.
3. Match would not be an issue.
4. Documentation of expenditures would not be necessary.
Timing would still be an issue. Without this reimbursement, NNEO's
ability to invest its own funds to initiate additional community
development projects may be delayed.
V. .Recommendation:
Adopt Alternative A thereby authorizim, the City Manager or the Assistant
City Manager to execute, and the City Clerk to attest, an Amendment 2 to the
HOME Grant Aereement between the City and NNEO for the 802 and 807
Gilmer Avenue N.W. project, (Attachment B) such amendment approved as to
form by the City Attorney, and approve the transfer of a total of $6.374.00 in
HOME funds, as follows:

1995 session of the General Assembly changed sections of the Code of Virginia
(Sec. 15.1-1400.- 1416.1) which pertain to the organization and operation of
planning district commissions, and renamed this section the Regional Cooperation
Act (previously known as the Virginia Area Development Act).
II. Current situation is:
Amendment of the Fifth Planning District Commission's Bylaws was approved by
the Commission on July 27, 1995. Some of the approved Bylaws changes require
corresponding changes to the Commission's Charter Agreement. The primary
reasons for the proposed changes to the Bylaws and Charter Agreement are as
follows:
Recognition that the Commission's authority now arises from the Regional
Cooperation Act adopted by the 1995 General Assembly and conformance
with related changes to the Code of Virginia;
Allow the Commission Chair and Vice-Chair to serve for two consecutive
III.
IV.
two-year terms to allow continuity of leadership for initiatives undertaken
that extend beyond a two-year period (current term is for two years only);
and
Elimination of the unnecessary charter provision regarding the specific
designation of an Executive Committee. The creation of the Executive
Committee is handled in the Commission's Bylaws.
Amendment of the Commission's Charter Agreement requires participating
governmental subdivisions to adopt resolutions concurring with the proposed
amendments to the Charter Agreement.
Issues in order of importance are:
A. Legislative compliance
B. Timing
Alternatives in order of feasibility are:
City Council approve the attached resolution in support of amendments to the
Charter Agreement of the Fifth District Planning Commission.
L_~gislative comp_]iance with the Regional Cooperation Act recently
adopted by the 1995 General Assembly would be achieved.
Timing would allow the Fifth PDC to proceed with other amendments to
the Bylaws and Charter as approved and recommended by Commission
members.
City Council not approve the attached resolution in support of amendments to the
Charter Agreement of the Fifth District Planning Commission.
Legislative compliance with the Regional Cooperation Act recently
adopted by the 1995 General Assembly would not be achieved.
Timing would not allow the Fifth PDC to proceed with other amendments
to the Bylaws and Charter as approved and recommended by Commission
members.
V. Recommendation is as follows:
City Council approve the attached resolution in support of amendments to the
Charter Agreement of the Fifth District Planning Commission. Additional supporting
documentation from Mr. Wayne G. Strickland, Executive Director of the Fifth Planning
District Commission, is attached for City Council's review.

Dear Bob:
On July 27, 1995, the Fifth Planning District Commission voted to amend its Bylaws. Some of the
proposed Bylaws changes suggest corresponding changes to the Commission's Charter. In order
to amend the Charter Agreement, all participating governmental subdivisions must adopt resolutions
concurring with the proposed amendments to the Charter. The Fifth PDC is requesting that your
governing body review the proposed changes and consider adoption of the attached resolution.
There are three reasons for proposing the amendments to the Bylaws and Charter:
(1)
The Bylaws should be amended to recognize that the Planning District Commission's
authority now arises from the Regional Cooperation Act adopted by the General Assembly
in 1995.
(2)
An amendment to the Commission's Bylaws allows the Commission Chair and/or Vice Chair
to serve one additional term in office. Currently, the Chair and Vice Chair serve for a two-
year term; however, the change allows the Chair and Vice Chair to serve for two concurrent
two- year terms, in order for this amendment in the Bylaws to become effective, the Charter
must also be amended.
(3)
In amending the Bylaws, the Commission voted to alter the composition and role of its
Executive Committee. Currently, the Executive Committee meets eight out of the twelve
months during the fiscal year, while the Full Commission meets only four times a year. The
Commission has changed the Bylaws so that the Full Commission will meet every month
and the Executive Committee will meet only as needed, at the call of the Commission Chair.
In this new role, the Executive Committee, as presented in the Bylaws, will be composed of
the Commission Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Immediate Past Chair, and a Commission
member elected at-large. The purpose of this smaller Executive Committee will be to serve
as an advisory group to the Commission on issues of an unusual nature dealing with
finances, personnel, etc. The change in the composition of the Executive Committee (but
not the role of the Committee) requires an amendment to the Charter. Attached you will find
a brief summary of proposed amendments to the Charter of the Fifth PDC.
Serving Alleghany County, Botetourt County, Clifton Forge, Covington, Craig County,
Roanoke City, Roanoke County, Salem, and the Town of Vinton
Page-2-
On behalf of the Commission, I would like to request that you place the attached resolution
supporting the proposed changes in the Commission's Charter on your governing body's agenda
in either August or September. I would be glad to present this resolution to your governing body if
you so desire. Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to hearing from you
as to when your governing body will be reviewing the resolution.
Sincerely,
Wayne~. Strickland

Reason for Change: This change will bring the PDC into conformance with
changes to the Code of Virginia
Article i, Section 4:
Change the purpose of the PDC to reflect the language previded in the
Regional Cooperation Act.
Reason for Change: This change will bring the PDC into conformance with
the purpose of PDCs as provided in the recently adopted Regional
Cooperation Act.
Article I, Section 5:
Add a definitions section to define the terms "member govemmental
subdivision" and "governing body"
Article IV, Section 2:
Change this article to allow a Commission Chair or Vice-Chair to serve an

of the PDC extend beyond a two-year period. This change will allow the
PDC's leadership to remain in office for an additional term to maintain
momentum for longer term projects.
Article VII, Section 1:
Delete this Section.
Reason for Change: There is no heed in the Ch~.rter to authorize the
creation of an Executive Committee. This action is taken care of in the
Bylaws (see Article VI, Section 1 of the Bylaws).
Article VIII, Section 2:
Change language to reflect the special requirements for Executive Sessions
under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
Article IX, Section 1:
Change the date the Commission will report to member governmental

Council Report #95-180
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
SUBJEC?: Authorization for Parks & Recreation to accept
credit card payment for services.
I. BACK~ROUND:
Payment bv credit card is a growing trend in the
leisure services industry.
Studies indicate that acceptance of credit cards
for payment of recreational services can enhance
overall revenues.
Credit cards have been accepted for several years
by the Roanoke Civic Center for purchase of event
tickets.
~ has recently authorized Roanoke EMS
to accept credit cards as payment for emergency
medical services.
II. CURRENT SITUATION:
First Union Bank has submitted a proposal for
processing VISA and MASTERCARD transactions at a
discount rate of 3.04%. This package does NOT
include American Express, Diners, or Discover
cards which would not be accepted at this time.
In addition, the City will be charged
miscellaneous unbundled authorization fees,
installation and training fees, and research
fees. Authorization fees are normally $0.15 per
electric authorization. Installation and
training should be a one time charge. Research
fees are only charged when "problem" transactions
require investigation.
The City will be required to indemnify First
Union as to any claims against First Union as the
result of negligence or willful misconduct of
City Employees.
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Authorization for Parks & Recreation to Accept Credit Cards
September 25, 1995
Council Report #95-180, Page 2
De
The proposal allows integration of credit card
processing into financial services already being
provided to the City by First Union. All
arrangements have met with the approval of the
Treasurer's office and Finance Department.
Parks & Recreation will be billed monthly by
First Union for the appropriate fees for
transactions processed. This invoice will be
paid by a payment voucher, and charged to an
object code dedicated to this expense.
F. Section 58.1-3013 of the Code of Virqinia,
(1950), as amended provides that the governing
body of a City may authorize the Treasurer to
accept payment of fees by use of a credit card.
III.
ISSUES:
A. Customer Service
B. Cost
C. Timinq
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Allow Parks & Recreation to accept credit cards
for payment for services.
Customer service would be enhanced by
offering a third way to pay for services.
Credit card acceptance would allow telephone
reservations and registrations, a customer
convenience not currently possible.
Cost for a $25 class or a half day shelter
reservation would be $0.91.
Implementation of credit card usaqe at the
earliest possible date will enhance revenue
and allow for incorporation of this feature
in the department,s Winter Quarterly which
is now being planned.

Dear Vic:
I am pleased to provide you with a copy of the City Manager's report in regard to traffic
signalization at the intersection of Hershberger Road and Florist Road, N. W.
City Council at its meeting on Monday, September 25, 1995, concurred in the City
Manager's recommendation that Council indicate the City's intent to reimburse front
funding with bond proceeds upon sale of the 1996 bonds; and that the Virginia Department
of Transportation be advised that the City will participate in one-third of the cost of the
traffic signalization project, in an amount not to exceed $22,000.00 which will be paid
following project completion.
For your information, I am enclosing copy of Resolution Nos. 32670-092595 and
32671-092595, which measures were also adopted by the Council on Monday,
September 25.
On behalf of the Members of the Roanoke City Council and the City Administration, I would
like to thank you for your assistance in working with City and County officials to move this
project forward. The proposed signalization will help to alleviate traffic congestion at a
busy intersection in the Roanoke Valley.

Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of Council:
Subject: Traffic Signalization - Intersection of
Hershberger Road and Florist Road, N.W.
I. Background:
The intersection of Hershberger Road and
Florist Road~ N.W. is a location justified for
signalization in Roanoke County as determined by the
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
Intersection lies within Roanoke County, as does
Hershberger Road to the east and Florist Road to the
north. Hershberger Road to the west and Florist Road to
the south are in the City of Roanoke (see Attachment
A-Map).
II. Current Situation:
VDOT has proposed a cost-sharing arrangement by which
VDOT, Friendship Manor and the City of Roanoke would each
pay one-third of VDOT's estimated $66~000.00 installation
cost. VDOT would also maintain this traffic signal.
Requests for signalization at this location are
periodically received from Roanoke City residents
including a petition in 1987 with over 250 names, a
majority of whom lived in the City in the vicinity of
this intersection.
Fundinq for the City's share of $22~000.00 can be
provided by the Streets and Sidewalks category of the
1996 Bond Issue, which included $500~000.00 for new
traffic signals.
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
$22~000.00 from the proceeds of its 1996 General
Obligation bonds.

Bonds - Streets and Sidewalks) to Account
No. 008-052-9561-9065 (Traffic Signals - Installation of
New Signals) for payment to VDOT for one-third of the
cost to signalize the Hershberger Road/Florist Road
intersection in Roanoke County.
Traffic flow and safety for motorists and
pedestrians at this intersection would be enhanced.
Fundinq in the amount of $22,000.00, which is one-
third of the total signalization cost, is available
from the Streets and Sidewalks Category of the 1996
Bond Issue.
Timinq is for VDOT to begin signal installation
within the next 30 to 60 days.
Do not authorize the transfer of $22~000.00 for payment
to VDOT for one-third of the cost to signalize the
Hershberger Road/Florist Road intersection in Roanoke
County.
Traffic flow and safety at this intersection would
not improve.
Fundinq would not be needed for this project at
this time. Funds could be used for other new
traffic signals.
3. Timinq for signal installation may be delayed.

Recommendation is that City Council concur in Alternative "A"
and take the following specific actions:
Authorize the transfer of $22~000.00 from Account

Bonds - Streets and Sidewalks) to Account
No. 008-052-9561-9065 (Traffic Signals - Installation of
New Signals) for payment to VDOT for one-third of the
cost to signalize the Hershberger Road/Florist Road
intersection in Roanoke County.
Adopt the appropriate resolution indicating the City's
intent to reimburse front-funding with bond proceeds upon
sale of the 1996 bonds.
Adopt the appropriate resolution indicating to VDOT that
the City will participate in one-third of the cost of
this traffic signal project, not to exceed $22~000.00, to
be paid following completion of the project.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: CHANGE ORDER NO. 9
CARVINS COVE FILTER PLANT IMPROVEMENTS, PHASE I
II.
Background on the subject in chronological order is as follows:
Bids for this proiect were received by the Council-appointed bid
committee on October 16, 1992.
Six (6) bids were received for this proiect, with Crowder Construction
Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, submitting the Iow bid in the
amount of ~ 12,682,280 and 73qconsecutive calendar days construction
time. Council approved the contract dated November 16, 1992, by
Ordinance No. 31247-111692.
The Commonwealth of Virginia was in the process of finalizing their
chanqes to the soil and erosion controls and storm water management
which went into effect on January 1, 1993. Roanoke County then
completed their plan review in the first week of January, and the notice
to proceed was issued to start construction on January 19, 1993. (The
result of the new regulations was the main part of Change Order No. 1.)
There have been eight (8) approved chanqe orders to date with a
contract total of $13,810,271.52 and 805 consecutive calendar days.
Current situation is as follows:
In compl¥inq with the new soil and erosion control requlations, the
smaller of two settling basins, used for settling and storing filter
backwash water, was removed and a new larger storm water retention
basin was constructed. The new basin was constructed large enough for
storm water retention and backwash water detention. The Department
of Environmental Quality has informed us that before the basin can be
used for backwash water detention, it must have an approved liner
installed.

En.qineerinq concerns would be met as follows:
a. The storm water retention basin could be used as a
backwash settling basin which would provide backwash
discharge capacity when one of the basins has to be
cleaned (twice a year).
Fence would be provided around the steep berm walls of
the retention basin as required by the regulations.
Turbidity monitorin.q would be provided as required by the
new Department of Health regulations.
Two sump pumps would provide a reliable means of
keeping the trenches under the pipe gallery clean.
2. Funding for this work is available as follows:
Transfer $165,389 in existing general obligation bond funding
from account number 002-056-8377-9001, Carvins Cove
Phase II B-1 Trunkline, to account number 002-056-8368-9001,
Carvins Cove Phase I Plant Expansion.
Time of completion through Change Order No. 8 was June 6,
1995. At that time, substantial completion was approved and
95% of the work completed and turned over to the Plant for use.
The contractor has returned to the project and will complete the
tasks that are related to electric power to the dam. This work will
require an additional 80 consecutive calendar days. Completion
date would then be November 27, 1995.
It is hoped the last section of 36" water main will be completed
during this time, which will permit connection of the new finished
water reservoir for delivery to the City through the new water
main. If this is not completed, it may be necessary to ask for an
additional time extension.
B. Reject the issuance of Change Order No. 9 and do not authorize the
additional work as described above.

Enqineerinq concerns would not be met in a timely fashion. All
four items will have to be done at some future date.
Fundinq would remain in the Phase II account.
Time of completion would be extended. The contractor would
complete his work and move off site·
Recommendation is as follows:
City Council concur in alternative "A" and take the following actions:
Authorize the City Manager to issue Change Order No. 9 to the contract
with Crowder Construction Company in the amount of $165,388.69·
The total contract amount would then become $13,975,660·21·

Honorable Mayor and Member of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
I. Ba~k~,round:
Agreement with Habitat for Humanity in the Roanoke Valley, Inc. for HOME
Funding for Perry Park Housing Development
Habitat for Humanity in the Roanoke Valley, Inc. ("Habitat") is a viable non-profit
agency that builds new houses and sells them to low income families.
The City has supported Habitat's previous activities by reimbursing it some of its
costs with CDBG funds through the Vacant Lot Homesteading Program and agreeing
to return City land on Cleveland Avenue SW to the City's donor for redonation to
Habitat.
Habitat submitted a proposal for HOME fimding for this year to acquire most of a
block on 10th Street SW at Norfolk Avenue (Attachment 1) near Perry Park and
redevelop it for approximately 20 houses for sale. This area is currently zoned Light
Manufacturing and is the highly visible site of several dilapidated buildings and
debris.
II. Current Situation:
City Council annropriated $140,000 of HOME funds for this project, entitled "Habitat
Perry Park Project", on June 26, 1995 (Resolution No. 32528-062695 and Budget
Ordinance No. 32527-062695). The Consolidated Plan adopted by City Council and
approved by HUD includes this project as an activity for this fiscal year.
Fundin~ appropriated was to support a "Phase One" of the proiecL involving the
acquisition and clearance of the properties generally on the eastern half (10th Street
side) of the block.
C. Habitat has negotiated to acquire all Phase One properties from a single owner.
Contract with Habitat has been developed (Attachment 2), including the following
major provisions:
Initial funding is for acquisition and clearance of Phase One primarily, with
provision for reimbursement of acquisition of additional properties in project
area if initial funding allows after Phase One acquisition and clearance. Cost
to acquire properties may exceed appraised value but must be determined to
be reasonable and just compensation acceptable to the City.
September 25, 1995
Page 2
Provision of initial funding does not commit City to provide additional
funding for the rest of the project, or to rezone property for residential use, or
to approve Habitat's development plans.
Habitat must build at least five (5) houses in the Phase One area (,plan is to
build 20 in entire project area) and sell them to low-moderate income buyers,
on terms typical of Habitat's homes sales. Under current HOME regulations,
the low-moderate income buyer will be required to occupy the home for 5 or
10 years (depending on the amount of HOME funds provided per house) or
sell the house to another low-moderate income homebuyer, or sell the
property back to Habitat for resale.
Federal funds provided through the City will be a grant and therefore are not
expected to be renaid if the project is developed.
If Habitat does not develop the proiect for any reason, Habitat will either:
a) transfer properties to another agency to develop appropriate
HOME-eligible housing, or
b) sell the properties and repay the City all proceeds received from the
sale, up to the amount of HOME funds provided. NOTE: All
HOME funds must be used for HOME-eligible activities. If the
property is not developed for HOME-eligible housing, it will become
an ineligible activity, and the City must replace the HOME funds
expended on the project. The proceeds received from the resale of the
properties likely would be less than the amount of HOME funds the
City provided to the project, and Habitat is not liable for any shortfall.
In that case, HUD probably will require the City to replace the
shortfall, either from CDBG funds, if HUD determines the acquisition
and clearance to have been CDBG-eligible so CDBG may replace the
shortfall in HOME funds, or from General Funds.
HOME funds must be matched at a rate of 12.5%. The match requirement for the
appropriated $140,000 therefore is $17,500. Match sources include cash as well as
in-kind contributions from non-federal sources, including the value of 0% interest
mortgages provided by Habitat to its homebuyers. No outlays of City funds will be
needed to meet the match requirement. The availability of matching funds will be
verified and documented by the Office of Grants Compliance.
III. Issue~:
A. Impact on Neighborhood Revitalization
B. Cost to the City
C. Timing
September 25, 1995
Page 3
IV. Alternatives:
Authorize the City Manager or the Assistant City Manager to execute and the City
Clerk to attest the agreement (Attachment 2) with Habitat for Humanity in the
Roanoke Valley, Inc., for the Perry Park project, to be approved as to form by the
City Attorney.
Imnact on neighborhood revitalization will be very positive. The site is
unsightly, has high significance to the neighborhood and is highly visible to
traffic on 10th Street SW. Addition of new houses and homeowners to the
neighborhood will be a significant contribution to the area's stability.
Cost to the City is $140.000 of federal HOME funds initially. Habitat would
have to apply for additional HOME or CDBG funds for further acquisitions in
the project area, beyond the Phase One area. In addition, there is the
possibility of the obligation to use future CDBG funds or General Funds to
replace expended HOME funds, if the project is not developed with HOME-
eligible housing (see "Note" at lID(5) above). Development of the entire
project for 20 houses as planned would produce approximately $800,000 in
tax assessment base.
Timing, is critical, as seller of Phase One properties has been waiting to sell to
Habitat for some months. Habitat cannot acquire properties without
commitment of City funds, and further delay may make the properties
unacquirable.
Do not authorize the City Manager or Assistant City Manager to execute the
agreement with Habitat for Humanity for the Perry Park project.
Impact on nei~,hborhood revitalization would be negative, as a significant
blight to the neighborhood would remain.
Cost to the City would be nothing initially. However, potential tax
assessment base of approximately $200,000 for a minimum of 5 houses in the
Phase One area, or $800,000 for 20 new houses in the entire project would
not be realized. The $140,000 of HOME funds would be available for
allocation to other eligible activities, through amendment to the approved
Consolidated Plan..
Timing would not be an issue. However, Habitat should be notified promptly
that the City will not support the project, so Habitat can release any claim to
the properties.

POWERS AGRBF~fENT ~ EST~BLIS~ENT OF RO~OKE CITY AS
FISC~ AG~
I. BACKGROUND
Section 51.5-47 of the Code of Virainia provides for
local governments, either singly or in combination with
other localities to establish local disability services
boards.
Be
In 1992, Council resolved to establish a reqiona]
disability services board in the Fifth Planning District.
The 5th District Disability Services Board (DSB) is
responsible to local governments and serves as a critical
resource for needs assessment, information sharing and
service opportunities. It completed a report identifying
the most critical needs of citizens with disabilities in
1993.
De
The followinq Jurisdictions in the Fifth Planning
District have enacted resolutions establishing their
participation in a regional effort and have appointed a
local official to serve.
City of Roanoke
Town of Vinton
Roanoke County
City of Salem
City of Covington
Craig County
Botetourt County
City of Clifton Forge
Allegany County
Other members of the DSB include representatives from
business and consumers.
~ort is provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia
Department of Rehabilitative Services.
II. CURRENT SITUATION
ae
Funds from the State Rehabilitative Services Incentivn
FundR__/_~ will be allocated to disability services
board throughout the state based on a population formula.
The RSIF short-term, non-renewable, stimulus funding
designed to promote investment in meeting the needs of
individuals with physical and sensory disabilities.
The Fifth District DSB has received notification that it
will be allocated $25,290.00 from the RSIF upon
acceptance of a formal application. An application was
submitted to the state by the DSB on April 28, 1995.
Ce
Each of the DarticiDatin~ aaencies will provide local
matching funds for this grant. No local match will be
required.
The DSB solicited proposals for the use of the funds
prior to completing the application. Seven proposals were
received and reviewed. The DSB anticipates that the
following agencies will receive funding:
Easter Seal Society (Bogardus Project) $4,450
Blue Ridge Independent Living Center (Family Support
and Peer Counseling) $ 20,840
Ee
A fiscal a ent is needed to administer these funds on
behalf of the 5th Planning District Disability Services
Board.
A formal a~reement between the participating localities
establishing the Fifth Planning District Disability
Services Board must be executed by all jurisdictions.
III.
ISSUES
A. Cost
B. Services To Citizens
IV. ALTERNATIVES
City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Fifth Planning
District Disability Services Board and authorize the
Director of Finance to serve as the fiscal agent for the
5th Planning District Disabilities Services Board.
Cost. The city would not incur any additional
financial burden. Staff time needed to administer
the funds would be minimal and could be absorbed by
existing staff.
Services To Citizens. The quality of certain
services to disabled citizens will be expanded and
enhanced by the programs proposed to be funding by
the Rehabilitative Services Incentive Fund.
Be
City Council does not authorize the Mayor to execute the
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Fifth Planning
District Disability Services Board and does not authorize
the Director of Finance to serve as the fiscal agent for
the 5th Planning District Disabilities Services Board.
1. Cost. Cost would not be an issue.
Services To Citizens. Establishment of a fiscal
agent and execution of the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement is necessary to receive Rehabilitative
Services Incentive Funds. Funding to the 5th
Planning District DSB may be reconsidered, thus,
eliminating funding to the local programs if Joint
Exercise of Powers is not executed.
RECOMMENDATION
City Council resolve to concur with Alternative "A" above
and authorize the Mayor to execute the Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement for the Fifth Planning District
Disability Services Board and authorize the Director of
Finance to serve as the fiscal agent for the 5th Planning
District Disabilities Services Board.

August Financial Report
This financial report covers the first two months of the 1995-96 fiscal year. The following narrative
discusses revenue and expenditure trends to date.
REVENUE
Total General Fund revenues reflect a decrease of 23.5% or $2,289,000 over fiscal year 1995 through
August, primarily due to timing differences in the receipt of certain revenue. Variances in specific
categories of revenue are as follows:
General Property Taxes are $956,000 or 36.52% below those of FY95 due to timing differences in
payments of escrowed real estate taxes by financial institutions. The real estate revenue should become
more comparable over succeeding months as the October 5th due date approaches.
Other Local Taxes are up $95,000 due to increased transient room and prepared food and beverage taxes.
These taxes have been aided by the opening of the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center and are indicative
of growth in the local economy.
Permits, Fees and Licenses are down 17.32% or $22,000. This is due to less inspection fees for plumbing,
heating, and elevator equipment.
Fines and Forfeitures have increased 19.23% due to increased parking ticket and no decal ticket revenue.
This revenue is likely to level over the course of the fiscal year.
Rents and Interest have increased $31,000 or 21.11% due to increased interest earnings. Rate increases
have contributed to this as well as higher average daily cash balances held in interest bearing accounts.
Grants-in-Aid Commonwealth has decreased $1,605,000 or 65.38% due to timing differences primarily.
The change in FY95 to accrual accounting for the City Jail Block Grant has resulted in lower revenue for
this category in FY96. State welfare revenue has declined because these funds were received at the end
of August in FY95 but not until early September of FY96, causing a $760,000 negative impact on this
category on a year-to-date basis. No ABC or Wine Tax has been received by the City in FY96 through
August, causing a $59,000 decline since FY95. Comprehensive Services Act revenue is also down in FY96
by $330,000 due to the timing of reimbursements under this program. The Grants-in-Aid Commonwealth
revenue category is expected to be comparable to the prior year in coming months as these timing
differences reverse.
Honorable Mayor and Members
Roanoke City Council
September 25, 1995
Page 2
Charges for Services have increased $178,000 or 58.14%. This has been caused by increased Emergency
Medical Services, Weed Cutting and Demolitions revenues due to the use of the accrual basis of accounting
via the City-Wide Billing System. Sheriffs fees are also up due to a change in fees implemented at the State
level.
Miscellaneous Revenue is up 13.24% due to increased sales of surplus property.
Internal Services have decreased 20.67% or $47,000. Decreased billings by Engineering, Street
Maintenance, and Building Maintenance have contributed to this decline.
EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRANCES
Expenditures and encumbrances in the General Fund have increased 12.54% since FY95. Variances in
individual expenditure categories are discussed below:
General Government expenditures are up 10.22% or $178,000 over those of FY95. Real Estate
Valuation has incurred additional expenditures in FY96 for renovation costs, equipment purchases, and
rental of equipment associated with its office relocation and expansion. Personnel Management's costs for
public service employee physicals have increased. CIS charges have increased in the Treasurer's office and
in the Office of Billings and Collections for systems development and equipment costs.
Judicial Administration expenditures have risen 11.26% or $67,000. Personal services costs have risen
in the Commonwealth's Attorney department due to an increase in the number of employees.
Reimbursements in the Circuit Court are lower through August of the current year due to timing
differences. The Law Library has increased equipment costs for the purchase of a new computer and
higher professional services charges caused by the management of the law library by a private finn.
Public Safety expenditures have increased 9.52% or $460,000. Increased salaries resulted in across-the-
board increases for most departments in this labor-intensive category. There have been other increases for
fire safety and computer equipment and for training and development of police. Building Inspections has
incurred greater costs for demolition of condemned structures located in the City.
Public Works expenditures have risen $380,000 or 8.46% in FY96. The Communications department has
incurred additional expenditures for its 911 program and for telephones and related equipment. The
Recycling department has seen an increase of approximately $125,000 due to the purchase of more
recycling carts. The street paving contract has also risen over that of FY95.
Transfers to the Debt Service Fund are up 31.54%, causing the largest variation in General Fund
expenditures on a year-to-date basis. In FY96, the General Fund is transferring amounts to the Debt
Service Fund at a more advanced rate than in FY95. This category will become more comparable to the
prior year in upcoming months.
Transfers to the School Board have increased 6.10% which is consistent with the budgeted increase.
Honorable Mayor and Members
Roanoke City Council
September 25, 1995
Page 3
Nondepartmental expenditures have increased 25% or $480,000. This category represents transfers to
other funds. The variation is due to budgeted increases in the transfers to the Civic Center, Transportation,
Capital Projects, Nursing Home, and Fleet Management Funds.
I would be pleased to answer any questions which City Council may have regarding the
monthly financial statements.

Do not authorize the City Mana.qer to:
1. Execute a contract with Lanford Brothers Company, Inc.
a. Cost would be based on future bids.
b. Fundinq would remain in the anticipated bond proceeds of
the 1996 bond issue.

a. Cost would not be an issue as Norfolk Southern's services
would not be needed if the bridge is not repaired.
b. Fundinq would remain in the anticipated bond proceeds of
the 1996 bond issue.
Recommendation is as follows:
City Council concur in alternative "A", and take the following actions:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a unit price contract with Lanford

Roanoke City Planning Commission
September 11, 1995
The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Request from Donald R. Alouf and lee T. Helms, represented by Edward
A. Natt, attorney, that conditions proffered in the rezoning of a tract of
land located at 1910 McVitty Road, S.W., designated as Official Tax No.
5100809, be amended and that new proffers be accepted.
I. Background:
Purpose of the rezoning request is to amend proffered conditions approved in
conjunction with a previous rezoning for the purpose of using the subject property
as a commercial office development.
Bo
~ of subject property was approved by City Council on January
10, 1994. Existing proffers are as follows:
Renovations and alterations will be made to the interior of the existing
structure only. No renovations or alterations will be made to the exterior
of said structure.
The rezoned property shall be used for the purpose of a professional office
building.
Petition to amend proffered conditions was filed on December 16, 1994.
Amended proffered conditions are as follows:
That the property will be developed in substantial conformity with the site
plan prepared by Balzer & Associates under date of November 11, 1994,
a copy of which is attached to the Petition to Amend Proffered Conditions
as Exhibit B except as the same may be modified during site plan review.
That the total building square footage on the property will be limited to
8,000 square feet in a maximum of three (3) buildings.

o
That the use of the property will be limited to the following uses permitted
in CN districts:
Non-profit counseling facilities and services;
General and professional offices including financial institutions;
Medical clinics; and
Medical offices.
The exterior architectural features of the existing structure on the subject
property shall be substantially similar to the artist's rendering, dated
November 11, 1994, prepared by Balzer and Associates. The exterior
architectural features of the proposed new structure shall be substantially
similar to the six (6) photographs made a part of the record.
In addition to the landscaping requirements imposed by the City Code, the
Petitioner will provide a single row of small to mid-size shrubs along the
parking area facing Gatewood Avenue and two (2) deciduous trees on the
Gatewood Avenue frontage.
Three nei~,hborhood meetings were held prior to the first Planning Commission
public hearing on December 7, 1994 to discuss concerns related to the proposed
development. At the meeting sponsored by the petitioner on November 30, 1994,
approximately 15 residents attended. Mr. Natt summarized the proposed
development noting that the purpose of the meeting was to answer any questions
residents may have. The major concerns expressed by residents in attendance had
to do with storm drainage, the location and orientation of the two new office
buildings, and the proposed driveway on Gatewood Avenue.
leo
First Planning Commission public hearin~ was held on December 7, 1994. Mr.
Ed Natt summarized the application on behalf of the petitioners. Mr. Natt
summarized the amended proffers. He presented photographs of the existing
Sugar Loaf Crossing development and noted that Phase 2 would be similar.
Mr. Natt stated that he had met with the neighborhood on November 30. He
noted that the citizens had three basic concerns: (1) storm water drainage; (2)
orientation of the buildings; (3) traffic on Gatewood Avenue. In response to
neighborhood concerns, Mr. Natt stated that storm water management would be
addressed by City staff during comprehensive site plan review. He also noted
that the proposed driveway off Gatewood had been re-oriented so as to discourage
traffic from entering the neighborhood. Finally, Mr. Natt stated that additional
shrubs and deciduous trees would be planted along Gatewood Avenue.
Mr. Marlles gave the staff report. He stated that he had received approximately
20 calls from neighborhood residents expressing concerns with the proposed
Members of Council
Page 3
development. He noted that the number one concern expressed by residents was
the potential for increased traffic through the neighborhood. Mr. Marlles stated
that the City Traffic Engineer estimated that there would only be a small increase
(50 vehicles per day) in traffic through the neighborhood generated from the
proposed development. Mr. Marlles noted that any traffic generated from the
proposed development would also add to the traffic congestion at the intersection
of Route 419 and Gatewood Avenue.
Five residents, including Greg Tinaglia (4112 Laurelwood Drive, S.W.); E. J.
Ewen (5024 Gatewood Avenue); Luther Nicar (2020 McVitty Road); Margaret
Thomas (1727 Driftwood Avenue); and Gene Galvin (5040 Gatewood Avenue)
appeared before the Commission in support of the project.
Four residents, including Ira Hurt (1910 Airview Road); Mike Duddy (1816
Greenfield Street); Raymond Patterson (5126 Greenfield Street); and Debbie
Strawn (4710 Norwood Street) appeared before the Commission in opposition to
the proposed development. Mr. Duddy submitted a petition (attached) signed by
81 citizens opposing the proposed development. The major concerns expressed
by citizens at the public heating were the potential for increased traffic in the
neighborhood, increased traffic congestion at the intersection of Route 419 and
Gatewood Avenue, storm drainage and the lack of buffering (see attached draft
Planning Commission minutes for additional information).
In response to a question from Mr. Buford regarding whether the City had any
future plans to improve the intersection of Route 419 and Gatewood Avenue, Mr.
Bengtson noted that the intersection is located in Roanoke County. He further
stated that he believed that the proposed development would not compound the
problems and that traffic could be adequately addressed.
By a vote of 643 (Mr. Price absen0 the Roanoke City Planning Commission voted
to recommend approval of the request to amend the proffered conditions approved
in connection with the previous rezoning of this property to permit the use of the
subject property as a commercial office development.
City Council public hearing was held on February 13, 1995. Following extensive
discussion, City Council approved a request of the petitioner's attorney to
continue the public hearing pending further report and instigation by the City
Planning Commission.
Staff from the City's Traffic Engineering and Planning Departments met with
representatives of the neighborhood, the petitioner and the Virginia Department
of Transportation on numerous occasions to discuss concerns related to possible
Members of Council
Page 4
traffic impacts of the proposed driveway on Gatewood Avenue and to review the
results of additional traffic counts conducted in the area.
Bo
Third petition to amend proffered conditions was filed on July 21, 1995.
Amended proffered conditions are as follows:
That the property shall be used for the purpose of professional office
buildings.
That the total square footage of office buildings to be constructed on the
property will be limited to 8,000 square feet.
That the architectural features of the development and restrictions and
covenants will be substantially similar to those of the adjoining
development, Sugar Loaf Crossing, Phase I.
That none of the structures to be erected on the property shall be closer
to the residences on Gatewood Drive than are shown on the concept plan
prepared by Balzer and Associates under date of November 11, 1994, a
copy of which is attached to the Amended Petition to Amend Proffered
Conditions as Exhibit B.
5. That no entrance to the property will be constructed on Gatewood Avenue.
Second Planning Commission public hearing was held on August 2, 1995. Mr.
Edward Natt, attorney, appeared before the Commission and reviewed previous
action by the Commission as well as City Council. Mr. Natt noted that the
Commission had heard the matter a number of times and had unanimously
recommended to City Council that the request be approved. He said that Council
had referred the matter back to the Commission because of neighborhood concern
in three areas: (1) entrance on Gatewood Avenue; (2) orientation of buildings on
the site; and (3) storm water runoff.
Mr. Natt stated that he felt the proposal before the Commission would meet with
everyone's approval. He handed out a list of amended proffers and also
presented a copy of a revised site plan. Relative to the three areas of objection,
Mr. Natt noted the following: (I) the entrance on Gatewood Avenue has been
eliminated (3) the site plan has been modified and the developer would do not
more than what was shown on the plan itself; and (3) storm water management
has been addressed.
Mr. Natt also noted that he was recently made aware that there is still some
concern regarding storm water drainage. He showed the Commission a map of
the site showing the drainage pattern and noted that the petitioner's site only
Members of Council
Page 5
occupied 3 1/2% of the drainage basin for the area. Finally, Mr. Natt stated that
his clients were willing to provide for a post-development 25-year storm with the
release at less than the 10-year pre-development runoff rate.
Mr. Marlles gave the staff report stating that Mr. Natt had adequately covered the
outstanding issues. Mr. Marlles noted the new proffer dealing with storm water
runoff would exceed the City's current storm drainage requirements. He said that
given that proffer, staff recommended approval of the requested rezoning.
Mr. Marlles noted that Ms. Lacy Carter, President of the Mudlick Deyerle
Neighborhood Association, had contacted his office to state her concern with the
storm drainage issue.
Mr. Bud McWorter (5006 Gatewood Avenue, S.W.) appeared before the
Commission on behalf of the Hidden Valley Estates Neighborhood Association.
He stated that the neighbors were still very concerned about the storm drainage
but wanted to thank the petitioners and the City staff for their cooperation in
working with the neighborhood.
Fourth amended petition to amend proffered conditions was filed by Mr. Natt on
August 10, 1995. The following conditions were proffered:
That the property shall be used for the purpose of professional office
buildings.
That the total square footage of office buildings to be constructed on the
property will be limited to 8,000 square feet.
That the exterior architectural features of the existing structue on the
subject prpoerty shall be substantially similar to the artists's rendering
dated November 11, 1994, prepared by Balzer and Associates. The
exterior architectural features of the proposed new structure shall be
substantially similar to the photographs made a part of the record.
That none of the structures to be erected on the property shall be closer
to the residences on Gatewood Drive than are shown on the concept plan
prepared by Balzer and Associates under date of November 11, 1994, a
copy of which is attached to the Amended Petition to Amend Proffered
Conditions as Exhibit B.
5. That no entrance to the property will be constructed on Gatewood Avenue.
Members of Council
Page 6
That the storm water management facilities at Sugar Loaf Crossing, Phase
II, will be designed to release a post-development 25-year design storm
at a rate less than the pre-development ten-year design storm peak rate.
III. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the requested change in proffered conditions:
Zoning of the subject site would remain conditional CN, Neighborhood
Commercial District with amended proffers which would permit the
construction of a professional office development.
2. Land use would become a professional office development.
Traffic and access issues would be addressed. The proposed location of
the driveway on Route 419 will address neighborhood concerns and help
discourage traffic from cutting through the residential portion of the
neighborhood.
4. Neighborhood impact would be minimized.
5. Neiehborhood Plan issues as set forth have been addressed.
6. Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth have been addressed.
B. City Council deny the requested change in proffered conditions:
Zoning of the subject property would remain conditional CN,
Neighborhood Commercial District, and the adaptive reuse of the existing
structure for professional offices as approved in the original rezoning
would still be allowed to take place.
Land use would remain a two-story residential structure which could be
adaptively reused for professional offices. Off-street parking and
buffering requirements would still need to be addressed as part of the site
plan review process.
Traffic impact from the adaptive reuse of the existing two-story residential
structure for professional offices would be minimal.
4. Neiehborhood issues as set forth would be addressed.
5. Neiehborhood Plan issues as set forth would be addressed.
Members of Council
Page 7
6. Comprehensive Plan issues as set forth would be addressed.
Recommendation:
Roanoke City Planning Commission, by a vote of 7-0, recommends approval of the
requested change in proffered conditions.
Mrs. Coles, Planning Commission Chairman, thanked the petitioner, staff and the
neighborhood residents for working so closely on solutions to the problem issues.
Mrs. Duerk expressed her appreciation to City Council for sending the matter back to
the Commission so that solutions could be worked through.
Respectfully submitted,

The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Robert C. Brammer, represented by David C. Helscher,
Attorney, that a tract of land containing approximately 5.44 acres, located at
2941 Peters Creek Road, N.W., and described as Official Tax Number
6410103, be rezoned from RS-3, Residential Single-Family District, to C-2,
General Commercial District, and C-l, Office District, subject to certain
proffered conditions.
I. Background:
Petition to conditionally rezone property from RS-3 to C-2 and C-1 was filed on
7/12/95. Purnose of the rezoning request is to permit the development of an office
park with the flexibility for retail sales on property fronting Peters Creek Road.
Several adiacent properties have been rezoned from residential to commercial since
1977. In summary, these properties include:
Portion of adjacent Tax Number 6410101, (2.9 acres of 7.6). was rezoned in
1977 from RS-3 to C-2 for a distance of 250 feet. Originally, the entire parcel
was requested for rezoning, but Planning Commission expressed concerns
regarding the need for rezoning the entire parcel and the petition was amended
to include only the front portion of the property. Small retail and office
buildings were later constructed on the property.
Remainder of Tax Number 6410101 rezoned in 1985 from RS-3 to C-2 and
C-1 conditional. Conditions related generally to the design of the buildings,
the inclusion of a frontage access road parallel to Peters Creek Road, and 25-
foot buffeting of adjacent residential properties.
Tax Numbers 6421203, 6421204, and a portion of 6421205 (at North Lakes
Drive) were rezoned in 1989 from RS-3 to C-2 conditional for an automobile
sales dealership. Proffered conditions related generally to access, including
Room162 MunicipalBuilding 215ChurchAvenue, S.W. Roanoke, Virginia24011 (703)981-2344
Members of Council
Page 2
the provision of a 30-foot wide frontage road, buffering of residential uses,
and limitations on uses of the property. Property has had grading, but no
building constructed.
Tax Number 6421201 was rezoned in 1985 from RS-3 tO C-2 conditional for
an automobile sales dealership Proffered conditions related to limitations on
the uses of the property, the provision of a frontage road, buffering, and
development according to a submitted plan. Property is now the location of
Woodson Honda.
II. Current Situation:
Request for rezoning is for C-2 for the first 250 feet of the oroperty and C-1 for the,
remainder of the property. Metes and bounds description is to be completed and
submitted by mid-September.
Initial petition to rezone with proffered conditions was submitted on 7/12/95. Many
of the conditions needed clarification and were not enforceable.
First Amended Petition to Rezone was submitted on 7/27/95, prior to the Planning
Commission public hearing. Conditions were clarified and enforceable. A revised
concept plan for the development was also submitted.
Second Amended Petition to Rezone was submitted on 8/9/95, after the Planning
Commission public hearing to address storm water management concerns of the
Commission. The proffered conditions of the rezoning request are as follows:
"The Property will be developed in substantial conformity with the existing
Brammer Village Complex on Official Tax No. 6410101 which adjoins the
property to the north. The buildings will vary in size but will all utilize a one-
story brick with wood trim and hip roof architectural design with the
exception of two of the buildings which will be two stories of the same
architectural design. The property will be landscaped to the same extent or
more densely than the existing Brammer Village with a mix of ornamental
trees and shrubs."
"In order to deal with the increased traffic which will be generated by the
retail and commercial use of the property, Petitioner will reserve a 30-foot
wide area across the front of the property parallel to Peters Creek Road
for a frontage access road to be dedicated in the future, in the event the City
and/or VDOT go forward with such construction. This area is to be shown on
future Comprehensive Site Plans prepared for this property."
Members of Council
Page 3
"For the C-2 portion of the property, Petitioner agrees that the following uses
would be excluded from the property: fast food restaurants, neighborhood
and highway convenience stores; outdoor advertising; gas stations;
establishments primarily engaged in the sale or rental of automobiles, trucks
and construction equipment; automobile cleaning facilities; automobile repair
establishments; bus terminals; kennels."
"Petitioner will preserve existing vegetation and establish a dense
vegetative screen around those portions of the property which adjoin
property zoned RS-3 in accordance with Exhibit C subject to any changes
required for screening required by the City Comprehensive Development
Review. Petitioner will establish the screen at varying widths averaging 20
feet along the northerly boundary adjoining Tax Parcel 6410102, averaging 25
feet along the southeasterly boundary adjoining Tax Parcel 6410116 and 30
feet along a portion of the southwesterly boundary adjoining Tax Parcel
6410105, said area identified on said Exhibit B as the portion of the property
to the west of the 'dashed line.' Petitioner will preserve the existing
vegetative screen within these areas retaining oaks, maples, poplars and other
deciduous trees with trunks of at least a 4-inch caliber, or will substitute
compatible plantings to meet City screening requirements. Petitioner will also
erect intermittent landscape berms along outside perimeter of the parking area
on that portion of the property, which will supplement a mix of deciduous
trees such as oak, maple, bradford pear and low growing plantings such as
juniper, holly, yew and similar ornamental shrubs."
"Petitioner will provide a boundary survey of the property within 60 days
of the filing of this petition which will give the precise location of the C-1 and
C-2 portions of the property."
"Petitioner agrees to provide a master storm water management plan as part of
the Comprehensive Development Plan Review for the project, which will deal
with the storm water run-offrequirements for the subject property as well as
the existing Brammer Village Complex located on official tax number
6410101. Petitioner agrees that the storm water management facilities will be
designed and constructed to take into account the needs of the existing
Brammer Village Complex as well as the subject property and will be
designed so both of the tracts are served by storm water management
facilities with capacity which exceeds the storm water management
policies as set forth by the City Engineer."
Planning Commission public hearing was held on 8/2/95. The first amended petition
and revised concept plan that had been submitted prior to the meeting resolved most
of the outstanding issues. Concerns for storm water management in the Peters Creek
watershed and on the subject property were discussed by the Commission.
Members of Council
Page 4
Petitioner's attorney proffered to coordinate drainage facilities and to provide
increased storm water management design capacity for the project. The rezoning
request was unanimously approved by the Commission.
III. Issues:
Zonine of subject property is RS-3, Residential Single Family, Medium Density
District. Requested rezoning is for C-2, General Commercial and
C-l, Office District, subject to the above noted conditions. Conditions of the
rezoning address use of the property, design of the buildings, and provision of a
frontage road. The development plan is not proffered.
Land use of ~ubject property is presently vacant land. Petitioner proposes to expand
an existing office park adjacent to the property. Land use along Peters Creek Road is
a combination of office, retail commercial, and light manufacturing. Only a few
residential properties remain in this portion of Peters Creek Road. The rear portion of
the property abuts a single family residential neighborhood. Several parcels in this
area of Peters Creek Road have been rezoned and developed commercially in the past
ten years.
Access to the subject property would be coordinated with the adiacent commercial
Office park which has access to a median crossing on Peters Creek Road. In addition,
a condition of the rezoning would provide land for a future frontage road along the
front of the property which essentially could extend from Woodson Honda to the
subject property, allowing for improved access through the traffic signal at North
Lakes Drive.
Storm water management along Peters Creek has been an issue in this area. Regional
detention areas have been studied for this region to limit the number of individual
facilities required and reduce impact of storm water runoff on downstream properties.
However, the present likelihood of regional implementation is uncertain and the
detention locations studied to date are not in close proximity to the subject property.
Consequently, runoffwill have to be managed on site. While the best method of
storm water management for the property has not been determined at this time, the
petitioner has agreed to meet and exceed the city's requirements for storm water
management as well as coordinate facilities on the adjacent property and develop a
master storm water management plan for the entire development.
Property is located adjacent to an airport approach zone to runway number 6 and is
located within a 60 decibel (dB) day-night average sound level (Ldn) contour. While
both residential and commercial uses are permitted within this noise contour level,
residential uses are not considered compatible for levels exceeding 65 dB and single
family residential uses are considered only marginally compatible for areas above 55
dB.
Members of Council
Page 5
Neighborhood is not represented by an organized neighborhood group. In the past,
residents of the neighborhood abutting previous properties requested for rezoning
have had concerns regarding buffering, through traffic, and noise that may be
generated by new commercial development. The rear third of the property requested
for rezoning encroaches upon the residential development of the area. Petitioner has
proffered to buffer the development with existing vegetation and landscape screening.
G. Comprehensive Plan recommends that:
Neighborhood character and environmental quality should be protected.
Changes in land use in or near residential areas should be carefully evaluated
and designed to conserve and enhance neighborhood quality. Controls which
ensure that new commercial developments are good neighbors should be
strengthened where necessary.
Development of new commercial areas should be carefully planned and
designed to promote quality development and good land use.
Transoortation systems (highways, air, etc.) are important to Roanoke's
economic development and should be carefully planned.
IV. Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rezoning request.
Zonin~ is changed from RS-3 to conditional C-2 and C-1. Proffered
conditions address planning concerns.
Land use of the property is changed tO commercial. Various commercial uses
have been excluded from future development in the proffered conditions.
Access to the property is to be from Peters Creek Road Joint management of
traffic ingress and egress is proposed through shared access of the existing
median crossing and the opportunity for a future frontage road.
Storm water management is to be handled on ~ite according to established city
standards and will include a master management Dian as well as increased
capacity to retain runoff
Airoort noise could affect future development on the property. Commercial
development should be encouraged over residential uses.
Members of Council
Page 6
6. Neighborhood impact minimized. Buffering of adjacent residential uses and
retention of existing forested vegetation has been addressed by proffered
conditions.
7. Comprehensive plan could be followed.
B. City Council deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoninc, remains RS-3.
2. Future land uses are restricted to those permitted in RS-3 zone.
3. Access is not an issue.
4. Storm water management is not an issue.
5. Airport noise could be an issue for future residential uses.
6. Neighborhood impact is not an issue.
7. Comprehensive Plan may not be followed. Single family residential
development is not the most appropriate land use for this property.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 7-0, the Roanoke City Planning Commission recommended approval of the
reauested rezoning. Commercial development of the subject property is in keeping with the
comprehensive plan and better suited to this portion of Peters Creek Road than residential
development. Proffered conditions of the rezoning address planning issues relating to
development of the property, storm water management, and buffering of adjacent residential
uses.

FIRST AMENDED PETITION TO REZONE
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE
IN RE:
Rezoning of a tract of land lying in the City of Roanoke,
Virginia, including 2941 Peters Creek Road, NW, Tax Map
Number 6410103, from RS-3 to C-2 (front 250 feet) and C-1
for the remainder of the property, such rezoning to be
subject to certain conditions.
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROANOKE.
The Petitioner, ROBERT C. BR3~MMER, owns land in the City of
Roanoke containing 5.44 acres, more or less, located at 2941 Peters
Creek Road, NW, Roanoke, Virginia, Tax Map Number 6410103
(hereinafter the "Property"). Said tract is currently zoned RS-3.
A map of the Property to be rezoned is attached as EXHIBIT A.
Pursuant to Section 36.1-690, Code of the City of Roanoke
{1979), as amended, the Petitioner requests that the said property
be rezoned from Residential Single-Family District to C-2 General
Commercial District (depth of 250 feet from front property line at
Peters Creek Road) and C-1 Office District (remainder of property),
subject to certain conditions set forth below, for the purpose of
constructing a professional office and retail complex {see EXHIBIT
B concept plan attached hereto).
The Petitioner believes the rezoning of the said tract of land
will further the intent and purposes of the City's Zoning Ordinance
and its comprehensive plan, in that it will be consistent with the
zoning classifications for properties which adjoin it on either
side and in furtherance of the City's comprehensive plan.
The Petitioner hereby proffers and agrees that if the said
tract is rezoned as requested, that the rezoning will be subject
to, and that the Petitioner will abide by, the following
conditions:
1. The Property will be developed in substantial conformity
with the existing Brammer Village Complex on Official Tax No.
6410101 which adjoins the property to the north. The buildings
will vary in size but will all utilize a one-story brick with wood
trim and hip roof architectural design with the exception of two of
the buildings which will be two stories of the same architectural
design. The property will be landscaped to the same extent or more
densely than the existing Brammer Village with a mix of ornamental
trees and shrubs.
2. In order to deal with the increased traffic which will be
generated by the retail and commercial use of the Property,
Petitioner will reserve a 30-foot wide area across the front of the
Property parallel to Peters Creek Road for a frontage access road
to be dedicated in the future, in the event the City and/or VDOT go
forward with such construction. This area is to be shown on future
Comprehensive Site Plans prepared for this property.
3. For the C-2 portion of the Property, Petitioner agrees
that the following uses would be excluded from the property: fast-
food restaurants, neighborhood and highway convenience stores;
outdoor advertising; gas stations; establishments primarily engaged
in the sale or rental of automobiles, trucks and construction
2
equipment; automobile cleaning facilities; automobile repair
establishments; bus terminals; kennels.
4. Petitioner will preserve existing vegetation and establish
a dense vegetative screen around those portions of the property
which adjoin property zoned RS-3 in accordance with EXHIBIT C
subject to any changes required for screening required by City
Comprehensive Development Review. Petitioner will establish the
screen at varying widths averaging 20 feet along the northerly
boundary adjoining Tax Parcel 6410102, averaging 25 feet along the
southeasterly boundary adjoining Tax Parcel 6410116 and 30 feet
along a portion of the southwesterly boundary adjoining Tax Parcel
6410105, said area identified on said EXHIBIT B as the portion of
the property to the west of the "dashed line." Petitioner will
preserve the existing vegetative screen within these areas
retaining oaks, maples, poplars and other deciduous trees with
trunks of at least a 4 inch caliber, or will substitute compatible
plantings to meet City screening requirements. Petitioner will
also erect intermittent landscape berms along outside perimeter of
the parking area on that portion of the property, which will
supplement a mix of deciduous trees such as oak, maple, bradford
pear and low growing plantings such as juniper, holly, yew and
similar ornamental shrubs.
5. Petitioner will provide a boundary survey of the property
within 60 days of the filing of this petition which will give the
precise location of the C-1 and C-2 portions of the property.
3
Attached as EXHIBIT D are the names, addresses and tax map
numbers of the owner or owners of all lots or property immediately
adjacent to and immediately across a street or road from the
Property to be rezoned.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the above-described
tract be rezoned as requested in accordance with the provisions of
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Roanoke.
Respectfully submitted this 27th day of July, 1995.
