Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
subject:
Proposals of Mr. Roger Franklin regarding
neighborhood revitalization
I. Backoround
Mr. Roaer Franklin made a presentation to Council on April
17, in which he outlined 4 proposals to improve neighbor-
hood conditions (Attachment).
B. Council referred Mr. Franklin's comments to the
Administration for review and report back to Council.
II. Discussion of Mr. Franklin's Proposals
Proposal 1: That the Building Code be amended to require that any
vacant condemned building be either repaired to Code standards or
demolished within a specified time, e.g. 6 - 12 months.
Assessment -- The Building Maintenance Code (Volume II of the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code [USBC]) provides that
an unsafe building shall be either made safe through compliance
with the Code, or vacated by the occupants and made secure
against public entry. The Code authorizes the City to order
the building demolished only if it is found to be structurally
unsound, and in actual and immediate danger of collapse or
creates an immediate, serious and imminent threat to life and
safety.
Such buildings with advanced deterioration are ordered
demolished through the Building Maintenance Code. The City
contracts for the demolition of buildings whose owners are
unable or unwilling to tear them down. The City ordered and
achieved the demolition of 83 such buildings last fiscal year.
There are several hundred vacant houses in the City that are
unsafe to occupy in their current condition but have not
deteriorated to the point that the Building Maintenance Code
authorizes their demolition. These buildings are boarded up in
order to prevent people from entering them and being injured,
and also to protect the building from vandalism and arson.
Even if the City could order it, the demolition of these vacant
but structurally sound buildings generally is not in the best
long-term interest of the City and its neighborhoods. Evidence
of this is given by the large number of houses that have been
demolished over the years and not replaced due to the housing
August 28, 1989
Page 2
market economics of their location, and also by the large
number of houses that have sat vacant for years but eventually
been renovated.
However, as time passes and deterioration increases, the cost
of renovation can become quite high. The housing market of the
neighborhoods where houses tend to be vacated limits the extent
of repairs that can be made profitably. The house may become
economically infeasible to repair before it becomes technically
unsound.
The 1988 report to the City Manager by the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force found that an effective strategy
regarding housing deterioration and abandonment should key on
critical early intervention, first to prevent houses from
falling into disrepair and vacancy, and second to expedite
repair of those that do. The following initiatives are on-
going now to address some of the Task Force's numerous
suggestions regarding this strategy:
1) Code enforcement and monitoring of vacant houses, to
keep them closed and protected until repair and reuse
(Goal 4, Objective A, Activity 2). The City ordered and
achieved the boarding up/securement of 90 buildi]lgs last
fiscal year.
2) Vacant House catalog, to market vacant houses to
parties willing to buy and repair them (Goal 4, Objective
A, Activity 5). Consistently, about one-third of the
houses publicized in each edition of the Catalog are sold
and repaired. The 6th edition will be published in early
September, 1989.
3) A variety of programs currently approved or funded
which provide subsidies for rehabilitation, using federal,
state and private funds (4/B/2 and 5; 6/A/l; 7/A/1 and 2).
Last fiscal year, approximately 93 houses received repairs
totalling approximately $807.000. In the current fiscal
year, the City will participate in approximately 15
programs already approved or funded, offering rehabili-
tation subsidies to more than 200 buildings, totalling in
excess of $2 m~llioD. There is also the potential of
several additional subsidy programs. These additional
financial subsidy programs alone strain the limits of the
city's administrative resources.
4) Directing rehabilitation subsidies from some programs
in conjunction with substandard properties identified
through Code Enforcement activities (7/A/4.)
August 28, 1989
Page 3
5) Providing counseling and basic instruction regarding
home maintenance and repair to all homeowners
participating in the City's rehabilitation subsidy
programs e.g. Critical Home Repair (6/B/l).
Proposal 2: That rental property be registered with the City and
have a code inspection every two years.
Assessment --
Registration: Virginia law does not generally grant the City
any authority to require registration of rental property per
se. State law only requires an out-of-state owner of four or
more rental units in the City to have a designated agent
residing in and maintaining a business office in the
Commonwealth, and to record this agent in the Court Clerk's
office in the jurisdiction where the property is located.
Various records of the City indicate the owner of each
individual property but do not categorically distinguish
rental properties from owner-occupied properties.
Inspections: Neither does State law grant the City any
authority to require periodic inspections or any type of
mandatory Certificate of Occupancy (i.e. without the consent
of the owner). At the request of the 1979 City Manager's
Housing Rehabilitation Task Force, the City Attorney advised
in 1981 that such a mandatory program would be illegal, at
least in the absence of the authority to housing inspectors
to obtain administrative search warrants. The City's 1981
Legislative Package sought but failed to get such authority
from the General Assembly.
Proposal 3: That incentives e.g. tax breaks, be provided to
commercial businesses to invest and stay in older communities
as Southeast.
such
Assessment -- Currently there are no subsidy programs of any
kind offered by the City designed ~ to assist or
encourage neighborhood businesses. However, there are some
activities that may benefit such neighborhood commercial or
service businesses.
While designation of the EnterDrize Zone is oriented generally
toward industrial and large commercial ventures, small
businesses located within the Zone can be certified to receive
Zone benefits as easily as large companies. The Western
Virginia Revolving Loan Fund, to which the City has committed
$33,333 in CDBG funds, also is set up principally for sizeable
industrial and commercial ventures, although there may be some
exceptions. The property tax abatement pro,ram for
rehabilitated buildings applies to commercial uses in addition
August 28, 1989
Page 4
to residential and industrial uses, which might provide some
help to a business in a building needing substantial repairs.
"Roanoke Vision" calls for nei~hbo~hQo~ commercial strategies
to be developed in the context of overall plans for individual
neighborhoods, and that these neighborhood commercial plans be
integrated into the city's economic development strategy.
Also, formation of neighborhood business associations is
recommended as a principal means of strengthening existing
neighborhood commercial enclaves. This has occurred in several
communities, including the Williamson Road, Melrose-Peters
Creek, and Grandin Village areas.
Proposal 4: That more efforts be made to publicize the variety of
funds and programs available to buy or repair homes.
Assessment -- Whenever a program goes on-line for the general
public, press releases are prepared, in addition to legal
notices if required. The news media have been very helpful
generally in doing feature stories about such new programs. In
addition, neighborhood associations registered with the
Neighborhood Partnership are notified and asked to spread the
word among their membership, so that potential beneficiaries in
the community may know of the programs available. When invited
City personnel speak at neighborhood meetings to explain
program options and home ownership and repair generally.
It seems current marketing efforts are adequate, because it is
rare when a program offering attracts too few applicants to use
all funds allocated to it. Frequently, in fact, there are so
many applicants that the administrative processing gets behind,
and many deserving applicants are disappointed that there is
not more help available. This is particularly true of the more
attractive grant programs, e.g. Critical Home Repair.
The programs of assistance available for housing vary
constantly, depending on periodic awards of funding and the
scheduling of programs through the year so as not to overload
administrative capacity. Accordingly, a single listing of
programs available must be updated frequently so as to be
generally accurate and current.
Some programs might be designed to be targeted to specific
small areas, or even to specific properties e.g. Home Purchase
Assistance Program. Of course, publicity for these programs are
and will be oriented to those areas in which they are
available and to those citizens that may qualify.
In addition, the Housing Development Office and the Redevelop-
ment and Housing Authority perform a significant amount of
individual counseling in person and to callers interested in
August 28, 1989
Page 5
buying a home or investment property, or in repairing their own
home. Such contacts allow staff to direct the citizen specifi-
cally to options available for his/her specific circumstances.
Unfortunately, frequently citizens do not know what office of
the City to contact for this type of assistance.
III. Summary and Conclusions:
Mr. Franklin is insightful in identifying vacant and
deteriorating buildings as significant liabilities in residential
neighborhoods. Unfortunately, there are two major classes of
restrictions that limit the City's options to respond to this
situation: First, current State law limits what the City may do,
e.g. order a vacant building repaired or demolished within a given
time, regardless of its structural condition, or licensing residen-
tial rental business; and Second, limited staff resources and
program subsidies limit how much the City administration can do
within that allowed by the law, e.g. voluntary inspections of
occupied rental units, counseling and technical assistance, helping
neighborhood commercial districts organize for support and
improvement.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Roanoke, VirEinia 24016
Subject: Proposals for Neighborhood Revitalization
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of City Councll:
It is hereby requested, if consistent, that I have an opportunity to present
several proposals at your stated council meetin~ April 17, 1989. It is my
undecetandin~ that one or two of the followin~ proposals will need
Intervention by the State of Virginia.
Proposals are as follows:
Proposal 1:
Buildln~ Code: Chan~e the code that allows boarded up houses and buildings to
remain in that condition for ever after bein~ condemned or any other reason.
This should be only a temporary solution until the property owner or owners
can brin~ it up to buildin§ code standards or razed, i.e., six (6) months to a
year.
Reason For Proposal 1:
1)
To sive the buildln~ inspectors some tools to work wi~h after a buildin~
is condemned or abandoned. As the code reads now, that is as far as they
can
2)
~)
So the neishbors will know it will be taken care of in the allotted time,
therefore, will not have to keep the buildin~ inspectors busy talkin~ on
the phone about the buildin~ or house.
Will not cause more blight due to a homeowner next door or in that block
knowln§ his house has been devalued, maybe forever, and not investin~
money in his property or ~ettin~ dis~usted and movin~ out of the
neighborhood thereby causin~ another cycle of the same.
Businessmen, lawyers and doctors may want to invest in their offices in
these neighborhoods if they know property values will not decline. This
may keep the few we now have f~om moving to Vtnton or Salem as some have
already done.
5)
This will also save money from the Community Development Pro§ram. Until
you have the tools to rid the blight that is now there, you are puttinE
$ood money after bad and will never be enou§h or enough buildinE
inspectors to do the job.
The Honorable Mayo~ and Hembers of the City Council
April 5, 1989
Page Two
Proposal 2:
Rental Property: Rental property, other than the one the owner lives in,
should be required to register with the city and have a building code
inspection at least every two years.
Reasons For Proposal 2:
1)
Landlords livin~ out of the neighborhood, maybe even out-of-state, are in
the business for profit and not for the concerns of the neiEhborhood
unlike a homeowner that lives in the neighborhood.
z)
If landlords know they will have to spend money to keep their property up
to building and health code =eEulations or have it razed in six (6) months
to a year, it may become unprofitable and sell to a homeowner that will.
3) Tenants may not complain about the property for fear of retaliation by the
landlord.
Proposal 3:
Businesses: Businessmen, doctors, lawyers, restaurants and stores should have
an incentive to invest and stay in an area as Southeast. This is now being
done with the CDBG funds in the Northwest area. The city should give a tax
break for a number of years in these areas.
Reasons For Proposal 3:
1) To increase value of property in the neighborhood.
2) Bring more people into the area to buy from the stores, restaurants, and
possibly inturn, these people may invest in a house or business.
Proposal
Funds: Hake more effort to let the people know about the different funds
available to buy or fix up their homes, i.e., how and where to apply. This
could be done by mail, public announcements on TV and radio or all of the
above.
Reason for Proposal
1) Everyone that needs to know will receive the message.
I would llke to say that I believe in economic development and neishborhood
revitalization for they ~o hand-in-hand. As for Roanoke City, neiEhborhood
revitalization is a must for where in Roanoke is a person to buy land to build
a house? It is in these revitalization areas or out of the city.
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
April 5, 1989
PaEe Three
In my opinion, to see all these boarded up houses and buildin§s as I drive in
the Southeast, Northeast and Old Southwest areas of the city is one bi§ reason
for the lack of interest from the county in the consolidation talks now ~olng
on. To my knowledge, thls is unheard of in Vinton, Salem and Roanoke County.
This could be one of the reasons for business moving there.
From what I read in the papers, I believe each of you are committed to
Neighborhood Revitalization and not for one area but as a city as a whole.
What effects one area in some ways effects all areas of the city. If there is
not more action taken today where it is needed, tomorrow it may be in another
area. All it takes is one or two boarded up houses or buildings in a
neighborhood.
I ask each of you to ~ive these proposals due consideration and hopefully act
upon them in a positive way.
Please note that I presented these proposals to the April 4, 1989 meeting of
the Southeast Action Forum. Their support was given to me concerning these
proposals.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
Roger E. Franklin

Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
City Manager's Informational Report
Storm Drain Complaints by Residents
Near Hickory Woods Apartments -
King Street, N.E.
I. Background:
Citizens appeared before City Council on June 12, 1989 and
expressed concern about stormwater runoff from the Hickory
Woods - Phase I Apartment Complex.
City personnel (Engineering and Planning) visited the area
and talked with some of the adjacent residents and the deve-
lopers of the Hickory Woods Apartments.
II. Current Situation:
mo
Apartment site development complies with current soil and
erosion control regulations in that all stormwater runoff
from the apartment site flows through an on-site detention
basin outletting into the City storm drain system in Orange
Avenue. No outflow enters King Street.
Vacant property, adjacent to the Phase I site, now grass
covered, is contributing to the King Street problem. The
rest is caused by the fact that King Street lies in the
floodway fringe of the Glade Creek tributary through this
area.
C. June 13, 1989, the following stormwater mitigating improve-
ments were made.
1. Three (3) small detention basins were installed on the
undeveloped property.
2. Earth berm was built across the entrance to the
reseeded construction road used for access to Phase I.
3. Entire area was reseeded.

Hickory Woods developers have (1) reinstituted a
$4~800.00 bond to guarantee that the problems will be
corrected to the satisfaction of the City; and (2) have
agreed to participate in replacing the City storm drain
under King Street that causes some backup in the road-
side ditch should that be determined as necessary in the
future.
Summary:
City has regraded the roadside ditch along King Street,
N.E. to facilitate proper drainage flow.
The developers have moved quickly to correct stormwater problems
associated with the Hickory Woods - Phase I development and have
posted guarantees. The developer is to be commended for his com-
munity spirited reaction to the concerns expressed to City Council
by adjacent residents.

SUBJECT: ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1989 IN ACCORD
WITH CHARTER SECTION 25.2(e)
The goal of the City of Roanoke Municipal Auditing Department
is to minimize, in the most cost/efficient manner, the City's
potential losses that can be affected, directly or indirectly,
by audit activities. These audit activities are designed to
support City Council's goal that "Our government shall be
open, accountable, efficient, courteous, sensitive, equitable,
and honest to the community and itself."
During the year ended June 30, 1989, we provided professional
audit coverage of the City's financial activities by
monitoring and evaluating the systems of internal controls,
including computer-based systems, to determine that the
systems are appropriately designed and functioning as planned.
Recommendations were made to correct any deficiencies in
accounting controls encountered and technical assistance to
implement these recommendations was provided.

The attached printout from our microcomputer planning and time
accountability system summarizes our audit activity for FY-89,
the first year of our 1989-1992 Audit Plan. Significant audit
activity completed during FY-89 included:
External Audits - 1,719 audit hours were used to maintain
the City's excellent financial reporting credibility and
to ensure compliance with statutory audit requirements.
In achieving this objective, we assisted City Council in
obtaining a new four-year external audit contract;
coordinated the independent public accountant's audits of
the financial statements of the Greater Roanoke Transit
Company, the City Pension Plan, the Single Grant Audit,
and the City Comprehensive Annual Financial Report;
performed the annual financial audits of the 31 City
School Activity Funds and their Central Investment Fund;
and assisted the Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts in
the audits of the local courts' financial activities.
Internal Audits - 2,861 audit hours were used to
determine that controls in existing financial systems
were functioning effectively to prevent inaccuracies,
irregularities, or willful manipulations. In achieving
this objective, we evaluated the causes of exposure and
controls in effect in the Internal Services Fund, the EDP
Operations Center, and the main frame computer
teleprocessing monitoring system; examined and evaluated
statistically selected samples of revenue and expenditure
transactions occurring both inside and outside the
central control system; and determined the factual
situation for allegations of suspicious activities and
other fraud indicators.
Technlcal Assistance - 959 audit hours were used to
promote improvements to the City's manual and
computer-based financial accountability systems. In
achieving this objective, we maintained our high level of
technical electronic data processing expertise so that we
can continue to use micro and main frame productivity
benefits; followed up and assisted in implementing the 24
recommendations for improvement which were pending at the
beginning of the year and in implementing the 110
recommendations which resulted from our current-year
audit work; and reviewed new systems in development to
provide advice on internal control questions.
Honorable Mayor and City Council

August 1, 1989
The quality and results of our audit activities have been
evaluated by the City's independent accountants, Federal
grantor agencies, and the Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts.
Each evaluation concluded that the competence, objectivity and
performance of the Municipal Auditor's office is on the
highest professional level.
I will be pleased to provide you with any additional
information regarding our plans or audit results at your
conveRlence.

VA~.T~YWIDE ANTI-DRUG ASSOCIATION
R~?.?.Y AGAINST DRUGS IN
Case Statement
'89
According to a recent article in JAMA, drug abuse in the United
States is implicated in one third to half of lung cancers and
coronary heart disease in adults and in the majority of violent
deaths (homicides, suicides, and accidents) in youths. The
Roanoke Valley is a community at risk. No longer do our
beautiful mountains insulate us from what many of us once
considered an urban dilemma. Already, we are experiencing the
effects of drug abuse. Our young people are dying. Our number
of AIDS cases is steadily increasing. Our incidents of violent
crime are becoming more frequent. If we do not stop the flow of
drugs coming into our Valley, we will soon be a community at
war. And it may well be a war that we cannot win!
The media has shown us all too graphically what happens to
communities taken over by drugs. Homicides, armed robberies,
domestic violence, battered and neglected children and short
staffed law enforcement and social service agencies are every day
problems these cities must cope with in their efforts to combat
the threat. Perhaps the most poignant reality of drug abuse are
the addicted babies born to addicted mothers, many of whom are
permanently damaged with no place to go except public
institutions. Recent events in Roanoke have shown us what can
and is happening here. Crack has already left its mark on our
streets. And crystal is on the way. The only real difference
between Roanoke and large cities is that we can still put names
to the victims.
The war in Roanoke is not over yet. We as 'a community still
have a chance to say "NO" to the suppliers and dealers. We still
have a chance to say you can't take over our streets and destroy
our children's lives. But the time is now. To mobilize our
community to action, a grass roots effort has begun, spearheaded
by Sergeant David Clayton of the Roanoke City Police Department.
Members of area agencies, civic and service organizations, and
local churches have joined together to form the Valleywide Anti-
Drug Association. The Association in cooperation with the City
Manager's Drug Strategy Task Force is planning a mass rally on
September 16, 1989 to focus public attention on this issue. We
believe that as a first step in the war against drugs, it is
essential that we make the community aware of the seriousness of
the growing threat and to elicit a Valleywide commitment to
developing meaningful solutions to the problem.

Honorable Mayor and ~ty/C~t1~ ::
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Drug Testing of Pretrial Felons Grant Program
Purchase of Drug Analyzer and Reagent Agreement
I. BackKround:
ao
Roanoke City Sheriff's Department was chosen by the Con~nonwealth
of Virginia State Crime Commission as the pilot site for a Drug
Testing of Pretrial Felons program to be administer by Sheriff
Alvin Hudson.
City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the grant
application from the Cox~nonwealth of Virginia Department of
Criminal Justice Services providing for the Drug Testing of
Pretrial Felons program on July 24, 1989.
Grant application was approved by the Commonwealth of Virginia
Department of Criminal Justice Services for the Drug Testing of
Pretrial Felons program in the amount of $67,670.
Major George McMillan contacted representatives of the two
largest drug testing companies Abbott Laboratories and
Hoffmann-La Roche Incorporated, to determine which company could
provide the equipment and supplies to meet the requirements of
the program; costs of the equipment; reliability of the tests
required to be performed on each felon; etc. in order to prepare
the original grant application. These are the only two companies
to our knowledge who can provide the Sheriff's Department with a
means to perform drug testing on site as mandated by the program.
Types of dru~ tests which are offered by the two companies and
can be performed on site are:
Abbott ADX Abused Dru~ Analyzer which performs seven (7)
different types of drug tests at the same time per screen to
determine if a person has any one of the different types of
drugs in their system, the level of each type of drug
contained in the persons system, and provides a printed
document of the test results for each person as a permanent
record for use in court or for analytical purposes. This
system would require few alternate chemical tests by a
laboratory to obtain a confirmed analytical result should
the test results be positive for a drug.
Page 2
o
Roche Abuscreen Ontrak Drug Screen performs one test for one
type of drug at a time or seven separate tests must be
performed on each person. This screen not only requires you
to perform seven individual tests per person but only tells
whether the person tests positive or negative for the one
test. It does not indicate the level of the drug in the
personts system nor provide a permanent record of the test
results for use in court or for analytical purposes. Also,
if one of the seven tests performed on an individual results
in a positive reading for drug use, an additional chemical
test will have to be performed by a laboratory to determine
the level of the drug in the system and to confirm that the
test was in fact positive. Roche indicated that one chemical
test performed by a laboratory to confirm the results of the
Roche Abuscreen Ontrak Drug Screen and provide documentation
regarding the level of the drug in the person's system would
cost an additional $18.00 minimum. This cost is in addition
to already having paid for the seven Roche Abuscreen Ontrak
Drug tests performed on the individual.
Abbott ADX Abused Drug Analyzer was chosen for inclusion in the
grant program description as the means to perform the required
drug test screens on approximately 4,000 pretrial felons because
it was the only drug screening process which could be done on
site that fulfilled the requirements of the program. In addition,
it was the most cost efficient manner of screening persons for
drug use. Due to an error on the part of the sales representative
when quoting prices to the Sheriff, the City of Roanoke can
realize even further savings and obtain this analyzer for $20,000
- $3,000 below state contact price. In addition, all reagents,
controls and calibrators to operate the analyzer will be
furnished by Abbott for up to 4,000 screens or until July 1, 1990
for a flat fee of $10,500 $31,500 below the normal costs
charged by Abbott for 4,000 screens. It must be noted that Abbott
is the only source that can provide the reagents, controls and
calibrators to operate their analyzer.
Bid is a single source bid due to the fact that Abbott is the
only drug testing laboratory which can provide the Abbott ADX
Abused Drug Analyzer as well as the reagents, controls and
calibrators to operate the analyzer. According to both
representatives from A~bott and Roche, this analyzer is the only
one of its type offered con~nerctally to perform drug tests as
described herein and no other company offers an analyzer
comparable or compatible to this analyzer. Also, according to
both representatives, Abbott is the only source able to supply
the reagents, controls and calibrators to operate this analyzer.
Furthermore, it is the only known form of drug screening that
will allow the Sheriff's Department to fulfil the mandates of the
program.

City Code~ Section 23.1-6 (a) is as follows: Contracts may be
entered without competition for goods, professional services,
services or construction in the following cases: "Where there is
only one source practicably available for needed goods,
professional services, services or construction."
II. Issues are as follows:
Ao
Compliance with the program mandates for testing pretrial felons
for drug use upon commitment into the Roanoke City Jail and
providing analytical results to the trial judge at the inmates'
initial court hearing for consideration as a bail condition.
B. Funding for the program.
III. Alternatives are:
Ao
Purchase the Abbott ADX Abused Drug Analyzer for the amount of
$20,000 from Abbott Laboratories and authorize the City Manager
to execute a Customer Incentive Agreement with Abbott
Laboratories to provide all reagents, calibrators, calibrations,
controls, and miscellaneous materials for 4,000 seven test drug
screens or until 3uly 1, 1990 as well as maintenance service
until July 1, 1990 for the amount of $10,500.
Compliance with the grant program mandates for drug testing
of pretrial felons would be accomplished.
2o
Funding for the analyzer and for the supplies to operate the
analyzer are 100% reimbursable by grant funds.
Not purchase the Abbott ADX Abused Drug Analyzer and not
authorized the City Manager to execute a Customer Incentive
Agreement to furnish the necessary reagents, calibrators,
calibrations, controls, maintenance, and miscellaneous supplies
necessary for its continued operation.
Compliance with the grant program mandates for drug testing
of pretrial felons could not be accomplished.
Funding for the grant program would be lost and another site
would be chosen to administer this program.
IV.
Recommendation is that City Council take the following action:
A. Authorize the purchase of the Abbott ADX Abused Drug Analyzer for
$20,000 from Abbott Laboratories.

CC:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Customer Incentive
Agreement with Abbott Laboratories to provide training for one
person at their laboratory in Texas at no cost to the City;
provide maintenance service on the analyzer at no cost to the
City until July 1, 1990; provide all reagents, calibrators,
calibrations, controls, control tests, and miscellaneous
disposables necessary to perform 4,000 seven test drug screens or
until July 1, 1990 at a total cost of $10,500.

Roanoke, Virginia
August 28, 1989
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Subject: Roanoke RLver Flood Reduction Project
Notice of Public Hearing, Land Acquisition
Dear Members of Council:
I. Back~round:
City, since the Flood of 1973, has been evaluating flood reduction
alternatives. Flood reduction is an essential and needed project
serving vital public purposes.
B. Corps of Engineers (C.O.E.) proposed a flood reduction plan in 1984.
C. Voters, in a referendum on April 11, 1989, voted to authorize $7.5
million for the City's share of the $34.5 million project.
D. All known property owners were contacted and provided preliminary
information prior to referendum.
II. Current Situation:
Initial federal funding amounting to $200,000.00 in new start money
has been promised although not formally authorized for federal fiscal
year 1989-90.
Bo
C.O.E. must expend initial funds prior to the end of this federal
fiscal year which is September 30, 1990. This requires acquisition
of all right-of-way for project by City before June 1990 to permit
time for C.O.E. to take bids.
Co
C.O.E. may permit division of project into phases. This will allow
C.O.E., if necessary, to bid the Flood Warning System first, which
requires only five (5) sites, thereby extending the deadline for
acquisition of all other parcels.
D. ~and Acquisition must be preceded by a formal Public Hearing, pre-
ferably prior to September 30, 1989.
Page 2
Council must authorize the acquisition of 237 parcels of real estate,
primarily perpetual easements, but, also several fee simple acquisi-
tions. There is a possibility that other types of easements may be
needed. These parcels are shown on the project General Design Memo-
randum (GDM) maps. Authority to include the acquisition of five (5)
sites for Flood Warning System and three (3) to five (5) disposal
sites for fill material necessitated by project construction. The
Flood Warning System sites and the "disposal sites" for fill
material have not been specifically identified.
C.O.E. requires formal right of access from the City to properties
acquired by the City for the project thereby permitting construction,
inspection, surveys and other C.O.E. activities necessitated by the
project.
III. Issues:
A. Need
B. Timfn~
C. Cost to City
IV. Alternatives:
A. Council authorize the following:
i. A meeting date for a public hearing to initiate the acquisition
process for the Roanoke River Flood Reduction Project.
ii.
The acquisition of easements and properties needed for the pro-
ject by donation, negotiated purchase, or, if necessary condem-
nation, as identified on the attached listing by owner and tax
map number and as more specifically set forth and delineated on
the GDM maps, copies of which are available in the Office of the
City Clerk.
iii.
Access by the Corps of Engineers and their contractors to
properties acquired by the City for the project for the pur-
poses of construction, surveys, inspection and other related
activities.
1. Need to begin property acquisition is met.
2. Timin~ to allow as much time as possible for acquisition pro-
cess is met.
3. Cost to City is approximately 7.5 million dollars ($7,500,000.00).
Page 3
Council not authorize the acquisition of properties needed for the
Roanoke River Flood Reduction Project, schedule a public hearing
regarding the project or provide access to such properties to C.O.E.
1. Need to begin property acquisition not met.
2. Timing to initiate acquisition as soon as possible not met.
3. Cost to City is moot.
Recommendation: Authorize the City Clerk to advertise public hearing for
September 11, 1989, in anticipation of authorizing the acquisition of
properties needed for the Roanoke River Flood Reduction Project and auth-
orize the City Manager, City Attorney, and other appropriate officials to
take such actions as may be deemed necessary for such acquisitions in
accordance with Alternative "A".

I. Backsround:
April 11, 1989 Referendum approved by the citizens of Roanoke City
authorized the sale of up to $7~500}000 in bonds for the Roanoke River
Flood Reduction Project.
Bo
City Staff has contracted for and completed preliminary surveys for
all parcels involved in the Flood Reduction Project. In addition,
appraisals and preliminary title examinations for many parcels were
completed prior to the referendum.
II.
Current Situation:
A. The United States Consress has included $200,000 "new start" funds, in
both the Senate and House of Representative's Appropriations Bills.
B. Corps of Engineers now anticipates that the most optimistic schedule
would be as follows:
1. Approval of New Start Funds

City Council has previously appropriated $350~000 for various activi-
ties related to the Flood Reduction Project.
City of Roanoke needs to proceed immediately with final preparations
for Land Acquisition.
City Counci approved a contract change order with T. P. Parker and Son
on August 14, 1989 to complete plats needed for the Flood Reduction
Project.
City Staff proposes to proceed with Individual Service Contracts for
final appraisals and title work for all parcels (237 along river, 5
for Early Warning System and 5 disposal sites) needed for the Flood
Reduction Project.

August 28, 1989
Honorable Mayor and*8~m~2~
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: 1989 Bridge Inspection Program
II.
I. Background
1978 Surface Transportation Act enacted by Congress requires
that all bridges, including "off Federal Aid System" struc-
tures, must be included in the bi-annual inspection program.
City of Roanoke has sixty-seven (67) structures requiring
Supplementary Bridge Inspection Reports this year. Forty-one
(41) structures (40 bridges and 1 tunnel) are inspected
annually while twenty-six (26) structures are inspected bi-
annually.
Current situation is that Engineering Services Qualification
Proposals for the necessary technical inspections and reports were
publicly advertised and received from:
Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc.
Kimball and Associates
* Mattern & Craig, P.C.
Spectrum Engineering
A. Selection of the firm for consideration was based on the
following criteria:
1. Qualification of personnel
2. Time available to meet schedule
3. Experience in performing bridge inspections
4. Ability to produce project on time
5. Local accessibility for project coordination and
cooperation
6. Response to request for proposal
7. Past record with City of Roanoke
Page 2
Bo
Interviews were held with all firms as they were deemed
qualified. Staff team included Charles M. Huffine, P.E.,
City Engineer; Robert K. Bengtson, Traffic Engineer; and
John A. Peters, P.E., Civil Engineer II.
Complexity of Bridge Inspections this year led staff to
select the two (2) most qualified firms to complete two (2)
equal portions of work.
Negotiations were conducted with the two (2) most qualified
firms (Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc. and Mattern &
Craig, P.C.) for the necessary technical inspections and
reports.
E. Scope of work to be performed includes:
Field investigations of thirty-three (33) bridges by
each firm to include whenever pertinent roadway
approaches, waterway, piers and abutments, bearings,
stringers, beams, girders, decks, expansion joints,
curbs, sidewalks, bridge railing, culverts, and signing.
Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc. will also be re-
sponsible for inspecting the Airport tunnel.
Preparation of all sketches and/or photographs to ade-
quately describe deficiencies and problem areas noted in
inspection reports.
Performance of all measurements and calculations
necessary to conduct and determine load ratings and safe
load limits as required by new Federal regulations (41
bridges). Load ratings usually require three (3) times
the technical manhours of an inspection.
Final inspection documents completed in accordance with
the Federal, State, and City criteria regarding the
bridge inspection program.
Federal and State Highway agencies have recently stressed
the need for in-depth inspections related to a particular
aspect of bridge inspection as a result of catastrophic
bridge failures in other states in recent years. These agen-
cies require:
Underwater bridge inspections require more care to
detect possible erosion of support in waterways beneath
bridge structures. Many of the City's bridges being
inspected are above waterways, the majority of which
have structural supports underwater. These structures
must be analyzed physically and mathematically to deter-
mine catastrophic scour potential.
Page 3
III.
Cost reimbursement fee for engineering services is based upon
actual manhours used to physically review each component of
the sixty-six (66) bridges and one (1) tunnel. Hayes, Seay,
Mattern & Mattern, Inc. and Mattern & Craig, P.C., in
following this billing procedure, offer reasonable manhour
pay rates and an acceptable cost ceiling.
Brid~e Ratings and Scour Evaluations: The Federal Highway
Administration has enacted new regulations on bridge ratings
and scour evaluations. Since VDOT now requires the new
ratings and scour evaluations, the City must comply. Over
sixty-five (65%) percent of the negotiated cost can be attri-
buted to load ratings ($79,950.00) and five (5%) percent can
be attributed to scour evaluations ($6~150.00).
Issues in evaluating the proposal and awarding contracts to firms
known to be qualified are:
A. Inclusion of proper work scope.
B. Ability to meet time schedules.
C. Reasonableness of fee.
D. Availability of fundinR.
IV. Alternatives for providing the necessary work are:
Award en~tneerin8 services reimbursement with cost ceiling
contracts to Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc. and Mattern
& Craig, P.C. in amounts not to exceed $58~800.00 and
$65,000.00, respectively.
1. Inclusion of proper work scopes have been reviewed and
verified.
2. Ability to meet time schedule has been demonstrated and
firms are ready to begin immediately.
Reasonableness of fee has been established through "cost
ceiling". Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc. has set
a cost ceiling in their proposal of $58~800.00, while
Mattern & Craig, P.C. has set a cost ceiling in their
proposal of $65~000.00.
Availability of funding exists in the General Fund
Contingency Account 001-002-9410-2199 for the bridge
inspection ($123,000.00). The Airport Commission has
funds in a "Fees for Professional Services" Account for
the Airport Road Tunnel ($800.00).

ceiling contracts to Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc.
and Mattern & Craig, P.C. in amounts not to exceed $58~800.00

1. Inclusion of proper work scope would have to be deferred

I. Back~round:
Bids for this project were received by City Council on March
13, 1989, with eight (8) bids opened and read aloud. The low
bid of Gardner-Smith, Inc. in the amount of $160~600.00 and
150 consecutive calendar days was authorized by Council at its
March 27, 1989 meeting.
In re-routin~ ductwork on the Exhibit Hall level to clear the
area for the new elevator shaft, it was determined that the
duct was insulated inside with asbestos insulation.
(Insulation applied to the inside of ducts also serves as
sound insulation.)
Co
To proceed with the work in a timely fashion, the Contractor
notified his asbestos removal sub-contractor to construct the
required containment structure and proceed with the work on a
cost-plus basis which is one of the methods specified for
additional work to the contract. The cost of that work is as
follows:
Analyzing sample of insulation to
determine that asbestos fibers were
present.
$ 215.00
2. Proper removal of the insulation.
5~598.00
Total $5,813.00

C. Time

III. Alternatives are:
Approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract with
Gardner-Smith, Inc. in the amount of $5,813.00 and no addi-
tional contract time.
1. Extent of the work is as described above.
2. Funding is available in the project contingency account.
3. Time has not been requested for this change.
B. Do not approve Change Order No. 1.
Extent of the work would not change. The same amount of
duct insulation would still have to be removed to accom-
modate the ductwork alteration.
2. Funding would not be encumbered.
Time of completion would be extended by the amount of
time it takes to remove the insulation and alter the
ductwork to clear the elevator shaft. The Contractor is
complaining now about the delays due to functions being
held either in the Exhibit Hall or Auditorium.
IV.
Recommendation is that City Council approve Alternative 'A' and
authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 with
Gardner-Smith, Inc. in the amount of $5~813.00 and no additional
contract time.

Status of the Financial Condition of the City of
Roanoke - Fiscal Year 1989
Another fiscal year has come and gone and you can look
with great pride to the services you have provided your citizens,
our style of life in our community, and our strong neighborhoods.
We have been extremely fortunate that our economy continues to
grow.
League of

Cities, many cities are not as fortunate as Roanoke.
that 57% of American cities report that their revenue
not keeping pace with the rate of inflation. Nearly
one-fourth report that their revenue is declining even in nominal
terms. Half of the cities report that their expenditures outpaced
revenues in 1989 causing them to draw down their beginning
balances in order to produce a balanced budget as required by law.
While revenue growth lags behind inflation, cities are
pressed to respond to a series of needs. The most important
community problems are drugs, solid waste disposal, crime, and a
series of housing concerns. Ail of these, plus the multitude of
infrastructure needs, require city governments to allocate
resources.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 2
August 28, 1989
Cities are required to balance operating budgets, but
budgets do not automatically balance themselves. There is not an
automatic pilot or cruise control that can deliver a budget in
which resources (revenues) finance all expenditures. The simple
fact is that in the budget climate of the past year, city
officials have had to make a lot of difficult decisions.
This past year alone, 69% of the cities increased fees,
36% initiated new fees or charges, and 41% raised property tax
rates.
I have attached for your review an analysis we prepared
showing in part localities in Virginia who have increased taxes
from FY1989 to FY1990. I have also included a comparison of
certain tax rates.
Our revenue estimate from all sources within the General
Fund for FY1989 was $134 million, while actual collections were
$138.5 million, a difference of 3.29%.
Below is a history of our revenue estimates as compared
to actual revenues:

Attached for your review are the ~NA~DI-£~U~ financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1989. These figures
are subject to change during the course of our annual audit.
Per the requirements established in Ordinance No. 26292,
passed by City Council on December 6, 1982, setting up a Reserve
for Capital Improvements and Capital Maintenance and Equipment
Replacement, (CMERP), the amount designated for fiscal year 1989
is:
$5,257,947
leaving no undesignated funds at year end. (In order to have
fulfilled the objective of Ordinance No. 26292, the sum of
$6,270,191 would have had to been available before having any
undesignated funds.) This year's CMERP represents 3.7% of the
General Fund budget compared to 3.8% last fiscal year.

This category includes real estate, personal property,
public service and penalties and interest. The total estimated
revenue for this category was $40,962,775 and actual collections
were $42,668,381, or a 4.2% favorable variance (page 11). Real
estate taxes increased by 8.3% over FY1988 and only 1.4% over our
original estimate. Personal property tax collections increased a
healthy 9.6% over the previous fiscal year, but public service tax
dropped 6.6% from FY1988.
Other Local Taxes
This category includes sales tax, utility tax, business
licenses, admissions tax, and prepared food and beverage tax. The
total estimate for this category was $32,867,964 and actual
collections were $34,381,148, or a 4.6% favorable variance. Sales
tax collections increased only 4.2% over FY1988, which is less
than half of the previous year's increase of 9.73% (page 13).
Utility tax continues to decline with electrical rate reductions.
Actual collections were 3.5% below our revenue estimate (page 15).
Business license revenue increased a moderate 6.44% over FY1988.
Admission taxes increased 9.3% over FY1988 and exceeded the
revenue estimate by 10.4%. The performance of our tax on prepared

Honorable Mayor and Mem~rs~0f'C6uncii~
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Bid Committee Report
Williamson Road Storm Drain
Phase 2, Contract IF
Right Segment
Roanoke, Virginia
August 28, 1989
I. Background:
Project is part of the on-going design and construction of
the overall storm drainage system for the Williamson Road
Area and represents the second of the last three remaining
segments to be constructed.
Segment begins at the vicinity of Grandview and Ravenwood and
will be serving the general area of Grandview and Roundhill
in the northwest regions of the City of Roanoke.
Cit~ Council received and publicly opened three (3) bids for
the subject project at 2:00 p.m., Monday, July 24, 1989 with
Aaron J. Conner, General Contractor, Inc. submitting the low
base bid in the amount of $776~269.35.
City Council referred all bids to the selected Bid Committee
to review and report back to Council with its recommen-
dations.
II. Issues in order of importance:
A. Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the
contract documents.
B. Amount of low base bid.
C. Funds for construction.
III. Alternatives are:
Authorize award of contract to Aaron J. Conner, General
Contractor, Inc. in the amount of $776,269.35 and establish
a 10% contingency fund for the project in the amount of
$77,626.93.
1. Compliance of the bidders with requirements of the
contract documents has been met.
Page 2
IV.
2. Amount of low base bid is 14.5% below the Engineer's
estimate and is acceptable.
o
Funding is available in the 1988 Series Public
Improvement Bonds, Storm Drain category, Account Number
008-052-9603-9176 and the Sewer Funds Retained Earnings
Account.
B. Reject all bids and re-advertise at a later date.
1. Compliance of the bidders with requirements of the
contract documents would not be an issue.
2. Amount of low base bid would probably be higher if bid
at a later date.
3. Funds for construction would not be expended at this
time.
Recommendation is that City Council authorize implementation of
Alternative "A" as follows:
Authorize award of a unit price contract to Aaron J. Conner,
General Contractor, Inc. in the amount of $776~269.35 in a
form acceptable to the City Attorney.
B. Authorize the establishment of a ten percent (10%) con-
tingency fund for the project in the amount of $77~626.93.
Authorize the Director of Finance to transfer or appropriate
the following funds to a new project account titled
"Williamson Road Storm Drain, Phase 2, Contract IF, Right
Segment" to be designated by the Director of Finance.
1. Appropriate from Sewer Funds Retained Earnings, the
amount of $42~323.60.
Transfer from the 1988 Series Public Improvement Bonds,
Storm Drain Category, Account Number 008-052-9603-9176
the amount of $811~572.68.
The combined appropriated and transfered funds shall include
$776~269.35 contact amount and $77~626.93 contingency amount.
D. Reject all other bids received.

Dear Members of Council:

Bid Committee Report
Roof Replacement
Third Street Annex
309 Third Street, S.W.
Roanoke, Virginia
I. Back,round:
City Council, at its August 14, 1989 meeting, publicly opened
and read aloud the bids received for the Roof Replacement on
the Third Street Annex at 309 Third Street, S.W. The alter-
nate bid was an add-on to replace the roof on the Knights of
Pythias Building at 310 Campbell Avenue, S.W., at the same
time.
Three (3) bids were received with Valley Roofing Corporation
submitting the lowest bid of $36,995.00 for the Third Street
Annex and $8~245.00 for the Knights of Pythias Building.
Time of completion was quoted as 29 consecutive calendar
days.
C. Project consists of the installation of a new single membrane
roof adhered to the existing roof structure.
II. Issues in order of importance are:
A. Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the
contract documents.
B. Amount of the low combined bid.
C. Fundin~ of the project.
D. Time of completion.
III. Alternatives are:
Award a contract to Valley Roofing Corporation in the amount
of $45~240.00 and__29 consecutive calendar days for the Roof
Replacement on the Third Street Annex and the Knights of
Pythias Building in accordance with the Contract Documents as
prepared by the City Engineer's Office.
Page 2
1. Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the
Contract Documents was met.
-2. Amount of the combined low bid (base bid plus alternate
bid) is acceptable.
3. Fundin~ is available in the Maintenance Fixed Asset Con-
tingency Account Number 001-002-9410-2201.
4. Time of completion is quoted as 2~gconsecutive calendar
days which is acceptable.
B. Reject the bids and do not award a contract at this time.
1. Compliance of the bidders with the requirements of the
Contract Documents would not be an issue.
2. Amount of the Iow bid would probably change if rebid at
a later date.
3. Fundin~ would not be transferred or encumbered at this
time.
Time of completion would be extended. The Third Street
Annex has several leaks at this time that need to be
repaired. The Knights of Pythias Building is not
leaking at this time but the roof needs to be replaced
before it does start leaking.
IV. Recommendation is that City Council take the following action:
A. Concur with the implementation of Alternative A.
Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for Roof
Replacement on the Third Street Annex (Police Building) and
the Knights of Phythias Building in accordance with the
Contract Documents as prepared by the City Engineer's Office
in the combined amount of $45~240.00 and 2_~9 consecutive
calendar days.
Authorize the Director of Finance to transfer and encumber
the following funds from the Maintenance Fixed Asset Contin-
gency Account Number 001-002-9410-2201 into the Building
Maintenance Account Number 001-052-4330-3056 for this pro-

ings would be coordinated by Mr. Page with the proper officials

Roanoke City Planning Commission
August 14, 1989
The Honorable Noel C. Taylor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Mayor
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Application to close and vacate two (2)
public alleys situated between Jerome
Street and Bennington Street, S.E.,
pursuant to Section 15.1-482(b) of the
Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
(1950), as amended.
Background:
Public alleys as requested for closure are
located in the southeast quadrant of the City
and more specifically in the Riverdale
community.
Alleys are identified as shown and numbered
on Map A, as attached to this report. Alleys
identified on Map A as Alley 91 and Alley #2
are affected by the following
characteristics:
Alley 91 is an open and developed public
alley of 15' width with a gravel
surface. It extends between and
intersects with Jerome Street and
Bennington Street, SE. Alley #1 is
approximately 420' in length.
Alley 92 is a platted, but undeveloped
(paper), alley with a platted right-of-
way width of 15' Alley ~2 is
approximately 375' in length.

Alleys as requested for closure and all
abutting lots were originally laid out and
established by the subdivision "Map of
Riverdale" as recorded by the Riverdale Farm
Corporation on March 14, 1933. Subdivision
as recorded specifically noted that streets
and alleys thereon were not being dedicated
for public use. Original subdivision, as
recorded on March 14, 1933, specifically
provided that "after the sale of lots, any
street or alley shown thereon could not be
abolished without the consent of the abutting
property owners."
Letter initially written to the Planning
Commission (attached), dated April 25, 1989,
states that the alley (Alley #1) is being
used as a secondary road and represents a
danger to neighborhood children.
Application states that Alley #1 is a
constant problem and a nuisance to the
abutting property owners. Application cites
the problems of speeding cars, litter and
frequent pedestrian traffic passing through
the alleyway.
Request to close and vacate Alley #2 is based
on the collective opinion of the abutting
property owners that there is no need for an
alley at the rear of their properties.
Closure of this alley would prevent the
possibility of it being opened in the future
to create a similar problem.
II.
Current Situation:
Application to close and vacate the subject
alleys was received on June 9, 1989.
Section 31-4 of the Code of the City of
Roanoke defines an alley as "a public way
which affords a secondary means of access to
an abutting property."
Application states that all abutting property
owners have been notified and are in
agreement with this requested closure.
Alley #1 extends from Jerome Street into a
paved commercial area that fronts on
Bennington Street.
Members of City Council
Page 3
August 14, 1989
Eo
Staff has observed numerous vehicles passing
through Alley #l,both to and from the
commercial area. Alley 91 appears to
function as a short-cut for traffic to access
the commercial area.
Planning Commission reviewed the application
at its regular meeting of July 5, 1989.
James Asbury (1523 Riverdale Road) and Steve
R. Simmons (1713 Jerome Street) commented on
the many problems caused by the alleys'
location and its negative effect on the
immediate neighborhood.
Planning Commission approved the applicant's
request to close and vacate the alley ystem
subject to the following condition:
That the applicant submit an amended
application providing for the subject closure
to be effected pursuant to Section
15.1-482(b) of the Code of the Commonwealth
of Virginia (1950) as amended.
III. Issues:
A. Neighborhood impact:
Closure would eliminate Alley 91 as a
means of access to the commercial
enterprises on Bennington Street, S.E.
Proper and adequate public access to
these commercial enterprises is provided
by the public right-of-way - Bennington
Street, S.E. All access and
entranceways into these co~,..ercial
enterprises were designed to access this
public street.
Impact or effect on non-abutting
property owners should not be a factor
if the owners of all lots abutting the
alleys are in agreement that no such
"secondary means of access" to their
properties is needed or desired.
Effect on all abutting property owners
will apparently be positive.
B. Traffic impact: Closure will have no affect
on traffic or traffic needs in the area.
Members of City Council
Page 4
August 14, 1989
C. Utilities within the public right-of-way:
City has no utilities within either
alley right-of-way.
Appalachian Power Company has utilities
within both alleys.
Correspondence received by staff
indicates that there are no other
private utilities within either of
subject alleys.
the
Creation of a dead-end alley: Closure will
not create a dead-end alley.
E. Land use:
Alleys were originally laid out and
established (1933) to serve the abutting
residential properties. Subsequent land
use changes has created a mixed
residential and commercial environment
adjacent to the subject alleys. Current
use of Alley #1 as a public access for
commercial purposes is not consistent
with the intended purpose of the alley.
Alley 92 has remained undeveloped for
the past 56 years (from its original
platting).
Property within the alley rights-of-way
could be utilized more efficiently by
the abutting property owners.
Due to the ambiguous nature of the
original subdivision, as recorded in
Plat Book 2, page 83, on March 14, 1933,
in its reference to streets and alleys
within the subdivision, it is the
opinion of the staff that this alley
closure should be effected under Section
15.1-482(b) of the Code of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (1950) as
amended, and not pursuant to those
sections cited in the application. A
vacation under Section 15.1-482(b),
pursuant to Section 15.1-483, will
effectively destroy the force and effect
of the previous legal recording and vest
fee simple title to the centerline of
the vacated alleys, in the abutting
property owners.
Members of City Council
Page 5
August 14, 1989
Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan:
Request is consistent with the intent of the
comprehensive plan that available land be
used in the most appropriate manner:
Section 31-71, Alleys, of the Code of
the City of Roanoke, prohibits the
creation of alleys for the purpose
serving primarily residential lots.
Pursuant to Section 31-4 of the Code, an
alley affords a secondary means of
access to an abutting property. Alley
~1, however, is used as a continuation
of adjacent street rights-of-way and for
public access through residential areas.
Private ownership of the alleys and
proper fencing of the area would be a
more appropriate use of the land and
would have a beneficial affect on the
immediate community.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 (Mr.
Price absent) recommends to City Council that the
applicant's request to vacate the two (2) subject
alleys pursuant to Section 15.1-482(b) of the Code
of the Commonwealth of Virginia (1950), as
amended, be approved, subject to the following
condition:
That the ordinance providing for the closure
include the provision that an easement is to be
retained for all utilities, both public and
private that are located within the alley
rights-of-way.

CITY
...... 'Roanoke City Planning Commission
August 14, 1989
The ~onoraDle Noel C. Taylor, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Application of the Roanoke City School
Board to close and vacate a portion of a
public alley as it extends from Fourth
Street, S.W. to Albemarle Avenue, S.W.
Background:
Portion of the public alley as requested for
closure originally extended from Albemarle
Avenue, S.W., along the rear of Highland Park
Elementary School for a distance of ].59.2'
and 'then turning to the east for a distance
of 26'
Alley portion previously separated school
board property from the property (official
tax no. 1022802, see attached Map A) of an
adjacent apartment complex. School board
subsequently acquired this parcel with the
intention of expanding its existinq parking
facilities, in conjunction with plans to
renovate the school building.
Building permit for the renovation of the
Highland Park Elementary School building was
issued on July 27, 1988. Alley portion as
requested for closure was demolished and razed
sometime between the above date and April 1,
1989.
Parking lot and utility construction at the
site was near completion at the time the
school board submitted a comprehensive
development plan for the City's review and
approval, on or about April 1, 1989.

Roanoke City Council
Page 2
August 14, 1989
Perfunctory approval of the plan was granted
by the City on April 7, 1989, due to the fact
that the alley had already been razed and
most of the construction (utilities and
parking lot) completed.
Planning Com~ission reviewed the subject
application at its regular meeting of June 7,
1989.
Director of School Plants, Mr. Carroll Swain,
representing the City School Board explained
to the Commission that the school was being
renovated and that a much-needed parking lot
was being constructed in the location of the
subject parkinq lot.
Mr. Swain stated that closure of the subject
alley would provide additional security for
the school. He also pointed out that in lieu
of the alley section, the school board would
dedicate and construct an area for a public
turnaround at the alley terminus.
Plannin~ Commission questioned Mr. Swain as
to why the school board could ~ot dedicate
and relocate the alley at a 90 turn to
extend through the parking lot to Albemarle
Avenue, S.W. Mr. Swain responded by stating
that this would require vehicles parked in
the lot to back into the public right-of-way.
Concerns were expressed by the Commission on
the following issues:
The question and problems related to
dead-end streets and alleys.
The improper process being used by the
school board in requesting the Planning
Commission to approve the closure of a
public alley after the fact of the alley
being physically demolished and removed
in clear violation of Section 30-14 of
the Code of the City of Roanoke.
Planning Commission by a vote of 7-0, voted
to table the application until its meeting of
July 5, 1989, in order to provide staff and
the applicant ample time to work through the
problems related to the requested closure.
Applicant and the Planning staff had not
sufficiently resolved the problems related to
the requested closure at the Commission's
regular meeting of July 5, 1989.
Roanoke City Council
Page 3
August 14, 1989
Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 (Mr.
Price absent) again tabled the matter until
its special meeting of July 19, 1989.
Planning Commission advised the applicant at
that time that all work on the parking lot
construction should cease until City Council
had decided the final disposition of the
subject alley in its relationship to the
parking lot location and design.
II.
Current Situation:
Applicant submitted a revised application to
the Commission at its meeting of July 19,
1989. Revised application offered three (3)
possible solutions to the subject alley
closure (see attached letter and options
numbered 1 through 3).
Applicant requested that option no. 1 be
approved. Option no. 1 is the same request
and proposal made by the school board to the
Planning Commission at its first meeting on
June 7, 1989.
Planning Commission discussed again the
possibility of extending the alley at a 90°
turn through the school parking lot to
Albemarle Avenue.
Applicant stated that the school board would
dedicate the alley through the parking lot if
that was what the Commission wanted.
Eo
Planning staff pointed out that this would be
a violation of City ordinance section
36.1-433(b) which prohibits a parking lot
from being designed in a manner that requires
"maneuvering into the public right-of-way."
Planning staff recommended approval of Option
no. 3 on the basis of the following
conclusions:
Highland Park Elementary School premises
will be occupied by 175 school age
children and 50 smaller children that
will be housed in its day-care center.
Small children will be walking in, or
passing through, the subject parking lot
on a daily basis.
Roanoke City Council
Page 4
August 14, 1989
Option no. 3 would place the position
and location of the proposed public
alley turnaround at the maximum or
greatest possible distance from the
public school premises and parking lot.
Option No. 3 would enable the school to
properly secure the parking lot (if
needed or desired in the future) from
the problems routinely associated with
public traffic access, by means of a
security fence or other security
measures.
Option no. 3 would require minimal
changes in parking lot design and would
not require a variance from parking lot
design safety standards currently
provided in Section 26.1-433(b) of the
City zoning ordinance.
Original alley extending to Albemarle
Avenue, S.W., has been razed and removed
for a period of at least six (6) months.
No complaints from adjacent property
owners related to the need for this
alley to extend to Albemarle Avenue have
been heard or received by the Planning
staff during the period of its absence.
Applicant stated that he would take necessary
steps to obtain a variance from the zoning
requirement (See. 36.1-433(b)) from the Board
of Zoning Appeals.
III. Issues:
School 9rounds safety and security.
B. City ordinance requirements.
C. Traffic impact.
D. Creation of a dead-end alley.
IV.
Alternatives:
Approve Option no. 2 as described in the
applicant's revised application to the
Planning Commission.
Roanoke City Council
Page 5
August 14, 1989
School ~rounds safety and security -
Safety and security will be increased by
the following changes:
Unsafe proximity of this public
alley at the rear of the school
building will be eliminated.
Additional parking capacity will
reduce the number of vehicles
parked on the adjacent streets.
City zonin~ ordinance requirements -
Section 36.1-433(b) prohibits a parking
lot from being designed in a manner that
requires "maneuvering into the public
right-of-way." Alley extended through
the parking lot will require that
vehicles back into the public
right-of-way of the alley in order to
get to the public street. Applicant
will apply to the Board of Zoning
Appeals to obtain a variance from this
requirement.
Traffic impact -
adversely impact
area.
Closure will not
traffic needs in the
Creation of a dead-end alley - Existing
25' section of alley extending beyond
parking lot to the rear of the school
building will remain as a dead-end
alley.
Approve Option no. 1 as described in the
applicant's revised application.
School grounds safety and security -
Safety and security of the elementary
school premises would significantly
improve by the elimination of the alley
as a public right-of-way crossing school
property.
Zoning ordinance requirements would not
be an issue.
3. Traffic impact:
Closure would have no affect on
traffic or traffic needs in the
area.
Roanoke City Council
Page 6
August 14, 1989
Turnaround would provide sufficient
area and maneuvering space for
turning vehicles around in the
alley right-of-way.
4. Creation of a dead-end alley:
Proposal would create a dead-end
alley but one with sufficient area
to turnaround and re-exit the
alley.
Refuse collection trucks have been
backing down this alley from Fourth
Street, S.W., for a number of years
because of the difficulty in th
trucks negotiating the sharp 90u
turn in the alley.
Approve Option no. 3 as described in the
applicant's revised application
School grounds safety and security -
Safety and security would be increased
to the maximum by the elimination of the
close proximity of the old alley to the
school building and the relocation of
the new alley turnaround at a maximum
distance from the school grounds and
parking lot.
Zoning ordinance requirements would not
be an issue.
Traffic impact - Traffic needs would not
be affected.
4. Creation of a dead-end alley:
Proposal would create a dead-end
alley. Turnaround area proposed at
this location would provide ample
access and maneuverability for
traffic needs.
Proposal would require the
applicant to file an amended
application to include an
additional 25' of the old alley in
his request for closure. This
would include the need to
re-advertise the application for
closure.
Roanoke City Council
Page 7
August 14, 1989
V. Recommendation:
The Planning Commission by a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Price
absent) recoK~ended that City Council approve Option
no. 2, as described in the applicant's revised
application to the Planning Commission subject to the
following conditions:
That the applicant agree to dedicate and construct
an area sufficient to provide for the extension of
a public alley through the center of the school
parking lot to an intersection with Albemarle
Avenue, S.W.
That the applicant agree to provide to the City
verification that title can be properly
established to the land within the alley section
being vacated, and that such verification be
provided at least seven (7) days prior to any
public hearing in which City Council is to
consider the application.
That the applicant agree to have prepared and
provided to the City a plat of subdivision,
dedicating an area sufficient to provide the
subject alternative alley through the elementary
school parking lot and providing thereon for the
proper division and disposition of the vacated
alley and the retention of all public and private
utilities located within the vacated alley (if
any).
That the ordinance providing for the closure be
made contingent upon the applicant obtaining a
variance from the requirements as set forth in
Section 36.1-433(b) of the City zoning ordinance
from the Board of Zoning Appeals and the final
acceptance in written form by the City Engineer,
of the properly constructed alternative alley, and
that if said variance is not obtained and/or such
acceptance is not acknowledged by the City
Engineer within twelve (12) months from the date
of the ordinance providing for closure, then such
ordinance shall become null and void without
further action by City Council being necessary.

· P.O. Box 13105, Roanoke. Virginia 24031
Ta The Members Of The Roanoke City Planning Commission:
In our efforts to expedite completion af major renovations ta
Highland Park Elementary School, it is evident that a portion of
the alleyway located behind the school was physically closed
prior to receiving official approval from your Commission. We
wish to assure you that this was inadvertently done with the
assumption that the Board and the City Planning Department were
in agreement with our plans based on documented Development Plan
approvals from the Planning Commission Agent and Zoning
Administrator dated April 7, 1989. The Contractor and the School
Board are on a very tight construction schedule in order to have
the facility ready for occupancy prior to the scheduled school
opening in September 1989. Consequently, the formal application
and subsequent approval inadvertently followed the physical
closing of the alleyway.
Nevertheless, it is our contention that the closing of the
alleyway that existed, and the construction that now exists
vastly improves public access and utilization. The sewer
easement has been maintained which assures ready access for
utility maintenance, and a sharply angled turn has been
eliminated.
In addition, the Roanoke City School Board is willing to
guarantee public access to and through its proposed parking lot
which will be surfaced for heavy duty traffic.
As a means of resolving concerns of the Commission, several
options have been proposed as a result of consultations with
Sherertz, Franklin, Crawford, Shaffner, Architect/Engineers for
the project. Each option is predicated on formal approval of
closing a portion of the alley. The options are as follows:
1. Relocate Public Right-of-Way as per Layout #1 providing
a 10' x 20' turn-around into the parking lot area.
This provision is as originally proposed and approved
by City officials on Development Plans dated 4/7/89.
It meets all ordinance requirements. The proposed "T"
extension resulting in a deadend at the alley would be
necessary to service the last lot adjoining the south
side of the alleyway. It is the simplest and least
costly of the options and can be implemented
immediately.
Excellence in Education,
Planning Commission
July 13, 1989
Page 2
In addition to relocating the Public Right-of-Way as
per Option 1, formally extend the 10' turn-around
through the parking lot as per Layout #2.
This pro,~ision would provide the City and public
with a dedicated easement or letter of agreement
granting access through the parking lot. An easement
would require a variance by the Zoning Board allowing
vehicles to maneuver across the Right-of-Way while
parking. Since the only non-school related traffic
expected would be refuse collecting vehicles, a waiver
of the ordinance restricting maneuvering in a public
right-of-way should generate very little, if any
objections. However, to acquire a waiver will be time
consuming and will adversely affect efforts to expedite
construction.
3. Provide a turn-around as per Layout #3-
This provision would require removing a portion of the
curbing already installed and the Possible loss of at
least two parking spaces. It would also require
closing an additional 40 feet of alleyway in keeping
with good design standards, which in turn will require
another formal application for an alleyway closure.
Again, this course of action will adversely affect
efforts to expedite construction.
Of the three options, we are of the opinion that Option #1 would
be the most practical and the most beneficial to the school
system, the City of Roanoke and to the public. The alleyway as
it existed prior to it being prematurely closed, presented
maintenance problems because of its physical layout and surface
treatment. It is our understanding that trash collecting
vehicles historically backed down the alleyway to avoid
negotiating the sharp turn leading to Albemarle Avenue.
Relocation will provide a 90 degree turn-around compatible with
good design standards and will improve refuse collection efforts.
The proposal is cost effective, practical and proficient. It
also allows for a maximum of off-street parking and better
utilization of land and resources.
Planning Commission
Page 3
July 13, 1989
We wish to reiterate that it was not the intent of the Roanoke
City Schools to circumvent the authority of the Planning
Commission and in retrospect regret that a portion of the
alleyway was physically closed prior to complete official
sanctions. However, we feel that it is in the best interest of
all concerned to allow the Contractor to proceed with
construction of the parking lot and alleyway as proposed by
Option #1. The City of Roanoke, its citizens and its school
system can only benefit in the end. Furthermore, it is our hope
that future situations of this nature can be avoided through
better anticipation and adherence to statutory requirements.
We, therefore, respectfully request that the Roanoke City School
Board's application for an alley closure be accepted by the
Commission and forwarded to the Roanoke City Council with a
favorable recommendation.

Dear Mr. Kelley:
I am enclosing copy of a report of the City Planning Corr~ission
recorr~lending that the Council of the City of Roanoke grant the
request of the Roanoke City School Board that a portion of the
alley between Fourth Street, S. W., to the rear of Highland Park

August 14, 1989
The Honorable Noel C. Taylor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Mayor
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from John D. Fralin, represented by
D. Jeffrey Parkhill, architect, that a tract
of land containing 0.81 acres, more or less,
located in the 2900 block of Epperly Avenue,
N.W., and identified as Official Tax Nos.
2160612,2160613 and 2160614, be rezoned from
RS-3 to RM-2.
Background:
Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the above-referenced matter on May 3, 1989.
Planning Commission recommended approval of
the requested rezoning by a vote of 4-0. The
Commission's recommendation (attached) noted
that the proposed rezoning provided a good
transition between commercial uses fronting
on Williamson Road and the single family
dwellings in the neighborhood. It was also
noted that the proposed rezoning addressed
the need to provide a variety of housing
choices in an existing neighborhood and
encouraged appropriate infill development
that is sensitive to the existing
neighborhood character. The petitioner filed
an amended petition following the
Commission's public heaXing which included an
additional proffer providing for a six foot
solid privacy fence.
II.
Current Situation:
ae
City Council public hearing held on on June
12, 1989. Ms. Linda F. Whitenack {4103
Greenlawn Avenue, NW), expressed a number of
concerns, including existing and potential
Room 355 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, SW. Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 98 f-2344

problems with low water pressure; sewer
problems; rats from dumpster located
behind the E1 Rodeo restaurant (4206
Williamson Road, NW) which would be
compounded if another dumpster were placed in
the area of the townhouses; loss of privacy
for residents on Ravenwood Avenue; and
inadequate parking. Councilman Bowers also
noted that townhouse number 14 appeared to be
on the easterly property line and questioned
why a petition signed by approximately 40
residents opposed to the rezoning was not
included with the Planning Commission's
recommendation to Council. Council referred
the proposed rezoning back to the Planning
Commission for a full report addressing the
above stated concerns.
Planning Commission public hearing to
reconsider the proposed rezoning was held on
July 5, 1989. Mr. Jeffry Parkhill,
architect, appeared before the Commission on
behalf of the applicant. Mr. Parkhill stated
that he believed that the concerns which had
been expressed at the June 12, 1989, City
Council meeting had been addressed. He
stated that the Williamson Road Action Forum
had no objections to the proposed townhouse
development. In response to a question from
Mr. Waldvogel, Mr. Parkhill noted that the
six foot privacy fence had been provided at
the request of the neighborhood residents.
He also noted that the E1 Rodeo Restaurant
had agreed to provide 12 parking spaces if
additional parking ever became necessary. Mr.
Marlles presented the staff report
recommending approval of the rezoning. Ms.
Linda F. Whitenack (4103 Greenlawn Avenue)
appeared before the CoK~ission to request
that the rezoning application be tabled due
to the July 4th holiday. It was the
consensus of the Commission that there was
not sufficient reason to table the request.
Issues:
Utilities. The City's Water Department
reinvestigate the impact of the proposed
townhouse development on water pressure in
the immediate neighborhood. As indicated in
the attached report from M. Craig Sluss,
Manager of the Water Department, dated June
Members of Council
Page 3
August 14, 1989
5, 1989, water lines in the area are adequate
to service the proposed townhouse development
and the proposed development should not have
any affect on water pressure in the area.
Mr. Sluss further noted that any apparent low
pressure problem in the area would most
likely be caused by old, corroded, inadequate
galvanized consumer service lines and
interior plumbing and/or outdated split
service lines to homes in the area. The
problem of split service lines is being
addressed by the City's Utility Line Services
Department. The City's Engineering
Department also reaffirmed that adequate
sewer capacity exists to serve the proposed
development without any impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
Existing and Potential Rodent Problems.
Neither the City's Health Department or
Building Department are aware of any
complaints of rodent problems in the
neighborhood. An inspection by the Health
Department in the area of the E1 Rodeo
restaurant found no evidence of a rodent
problem or need for corrective action.
Loss of privacy for residents on Ravenwood
Avenue. The petitioner has provided for a
10' landscaped buffer along the northerly and
westerly property line as required under the
City's zoning ordinance. In addition, in
response to requests made by neighborhood
residents at a meeting with the developer's
architect on April 25, 1989, the petitioner
has proffered to provide a six foot solid
privacy fence to further screen the adjacent
single family homes fronting on Ravenwood and
Greenlawn Avenues from the proposed townhouse
development. The required landscape buffer
and six foot high solid privacy fence should
be sufficient to protect the privacy of
adjacent single-family residents.
Inadequate Parking. The number of parking
spaces (21) provided on the proffered site
plan complies with the requirements of the
City's zoning ordinance (1.5 spaces for each
dwelling unit). The City's Traffic Engineer
has also indicated that the number of parking
spaces being provided would be adequate to
accommodate the proposed development. The
petitioner has also received permission from
the E1 Rodeo restaurant to utilize 12 of the
Members of
Page 4

Council
1989
restaurant's parking spaces from 9:00 p.m. to
9:00 a.m. should any overflow parking occur
from the proposed townhouse development.
Required side yards/setbacks. The proffered
site plan complies with all side yard and
setback requirements of the RM-2 zone. By
proposing the minimum (4') setback along the
easterly property line which abuts the
existing commercial development along
Williamson Road, the proffered site plan
provides for the maximum setback of the
proposed townhouse units from the
single-family homes fronting on Greenlawn
Avenue.
Petition. The filing of any petitions, as
well as a summary of neighborhood concerns
made prior to or at the Planning Commission's
public hearing, has been included as
background information in the Commission's
recommendation to Council. Copies of
petitions filed with the City by individuals
opposed to rezonings are reviewed by the City
Attorney's Office (see attached report dated
June 12, 1989), to determine whether there
are sufficient signatures to invoke the
provisions of Section 62(5) of the Roanoke
City Charter. In the future, copies of all
petitions filed by residents will be attached
to the Commission's recommendations to
Council.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 6-0 (Mr. Price absent), the
Commission recommended approval of the requested
rezoning for the reasons outlined in the
Commission's original report dated June 12, 1989.
.Respectfully submitted,
Roanoke City Planning Commission

July 5, 1989
Mr. Michael M. Waldvogel, Chairman
and Members of the Planning Commission
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of the Commission:
Subject:
Request from John D. Fralin, represented by
D. Jeffrey Parkhill, architect, that a tract
of land containing 0.81 acres, more or less,
located in the 2900 block of Epperly Avenue,
N.W., and identified as Official Tax Nos.
2160612,2160613 and 2160614, be rezoned from
RS-3 to RM-2.
Background:
Plannin~ Commission held a public hearing on
the above-referenced matter on May 3, 1989.
Planning Commission recommended approval of
the requested rezoning by a vote of 4-0. The
Commission's recorm~endation noted that the
proposed rezoning provided a good transition
between commercial uses fronting on
Williamson Road and the single family
dwellings in the neighborhood. It was also
noted that the proposed rezoning addressed
the need to provide a variety of housing
choices in an existing neighborhood and
encouraged appropriate infill development
that is sensitive to the existing
neighborhood character. The petitioner filed
an amended petition to rezone after the
Commission public hearing which addressed the
issue of a privacy fence.
Ce
City Council referred the request back to the
Planning Commission on June 12, 1989, for a
full report addressing a number of concerns
alluded to by Ms. Linda F. Whitenack (4103
Greenlawn Avenue, NW), including existing and
potential problems with low water pressure;
sewer problems; rats from dumpster located
Room 355 Municipal Building 215 Churd~ Avenue S W Roanoke, Virginia 24011 (703) 981 2344
II.
behind the E1 Rodeo restaurant (4206
Williamson Road, NW) which would be
compounded if another dumpster were placed in
the area of the townhouses; loss of privacy
for residents on Ravenwood Avenue; and
inadequate parking. Councilman Bowers made
the observation that townhouse number 14
appeared to be on the property line and
questioned why a petition signed by
approximately 40 residents opposed to the
rezoning was not included with the Planning
Commission's recommendation to Council.
Concerns:
Utilities. At the request of Councilman
Bowers, staff requested that the City's Water
Department reinvestigate the impact of the
proposed townhouse development on water
pressure in the immediate neighborhood. As
indicated in the attached report from M.
Craig Sluss, Manager of the Water Department,
dated June 5, 1989, water lines in the area
are adequate to service the proposed
townhouse development and the proposed
development should not have any affect on
water pressure in the area. Mr. Sluss
further noted that any apparent low pressure
problem in the area would most likely be
caused by old, corroded, inadequate
galvanized consumer service lines and
interior plumbing and/or outdated split
service lines to homes in the area. The
problem of split service lines is being
addressed by the City's Utility Line Services
Department. The City's Engineering
Department also reaffirmed that adequate
sewer capacity exists to serve the proposed
development without any impact on the
surrounding neighborhood.
Existin9 and Potential Rodent Problem~.
Neither the City's Health Department or
Building Department are aware of any rodent
problems in the immediate neighborhood.
Staff has requested that the Health
Department perform an inspection of any
nearby commercial establishments along
Williamson Road, including the E1 Rodeo
restaurant, to determine if corrective action
is necessary. In addition, staff has
discussed this concern with the petitioner's
architect who is investigating various
options, including providing specially
designed dumpsters, to reduce or minimize the
possibility that the proposed townhouse
development would contribute to a rodent
problem in the neighborhood.
Loss of privacy for residents on Ravenwood
Avenue. The petitioner has provided for a
10' landscaped buffer along the northerly and
westerly property line as required under the
City's zoning ordinance. In addition, in
response to requests made by neighborhood
residents at a meeting with the developer.s
architect on April 25, 1989, the petitioner
has proffered to provide a six foot solid
privacy fence to further screen the adjacent
single family homes fronting on Ravenwood and
Greenlawn Avenues from the proposed townhouse
development. The required landscape buffer
and six foot high solid privacy fence should
be sufficient to protect the privacy of
adjacent single-family residents.
Inadequate Parking. The number of parking
spaces (21) provided on the proffered site
plan complies with the requirements of the
City's zoning ordinance (1.5 spaces for each
dwelling unit). The City's Traffic Engineer
has also indicated the number of parking
spaces being provided should be adequate to
accommodate the proposed development. At
staff's request, the petitioner is also
pursuing an arrangement with the E1 Rodeo
restaurant to utilize the restaurant's excess
parking capacity for any overflow parking
which may occur from the proposed townhouse
development.
Required side yards/setbacks. The proffered
site plan complies with all side yard and
setback requirements of the RM-2 zone. By
proposing the minimum setback (4') along the
easterly property line which abuts the
commercial development along Williamson Road,
the proposed site plan provides for the
maximum setback of the proposed townhouse
units from the exiting single-family homes
fronting on Greenlawn Avenue.
Fo
Petition. The filing of any petitions, as
well as a summary of neighborhood concerns
made prior to or at the Planning Commission's
public hearing, are usually included as
background information in the Commission's
recommendation to Council. Copies of
III.
petitions filed with the City by individuals
opposed to rezonings are reviewed by the City
Attorney's Office (see attached report dated
June 12, 1989), to determine whether there
are sufficient signatures to invoke the
provisions of Section 62(5) of the Roanoke
City Charter. In the future, copies of all
petitions filed by residents will be attached
to the Commission's recommendations to
Council.
Recommendation:
Planning staff recommends approval of the request
based on information provided here and reasons
outlined in the original staff report dated May 3,
1989.

Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from John D. Fralin, represented by
D. Jeffrey Parkhill, architect, that a tract
of land containing 0.81 acres, more or less,
located in the 2900 block of Epperly Avenue,
N.W., and identified as Official Tax Nos.
2160612,2160613 and 2160614, be rezoned from
RS-3 to RM-2.
Background:
Purpose of the rezoning request is to permit
the construction of multi-family dwelling.
Previous petition to rezonm to RG-1 zoning
designation was denied in February, 1982, by
City Council. At that time inadequate
sanitary sewer capacity and lack of storm
sewers were cited as reasons for denial.
Petition to rezone was filed on April 14
·
De
to rezone was filed on May
, 1989. Proff red conditions are as
follows:
That the property will be developed in
substantial compliance with the site
plan prepared by Hughes Associate
Architects, Roanoke, Virginia, dated
April 12, 1989, a copy of which is
attached to the Petition for Rezoning as
Exhibit B, subject to any changes
required by City during site plan
review.
II.
A six foot tall solid privacy fence will
be installed on the property line
adjacent to property located on
Ravenswood and Greenlawn Avenues.
If no building permit has been issued
and no construction commenced within
three years from the date of final
zoning approval, the zoning shall revert
to RS-3 without further action by City
Council.
Planning Commission public hearing was held
on Wednesday, May 3, 1989. Mr. Jeffrey
Parkhill, architect, appeared before the
Commission on behalf of the petitioner. Mr.
Parkhill stated that the petitioner had held
a neighborhood meeting and the project was
well received. Mr. Parkhill also stated that
the petitioner was making every effort to
minimize the visual impact on the
neighborhood through architectural detail and
careful site design.
Mrs. Wolfe of 2929 Ravenwood Avenue presented
a petition opposing the subject rezoning.
She cited inadequate utilities and privacy as
the reasons for opposition.
Mr. Parkhill responed that utilities would be
extended to the site and that the City
Engineering Department had confirmed the
capacity of the utilities in the area.
Mr. Tasselli provided mapping confirming the
location of existing utilities and the
location of the proposed extensions. He
reconfirmed the adequacy of the utilities and
recommended approval of the rezoning.
Issues
Zoninq is presently RS-3. Zoning to north
and west is RS-3. RM-2 occurs to the south
along Epperly Avenue, N.W.. C-2 adjoins the
subject site to the east.
Land use is presently undeveloped
residential. Adjoining land uses are a
mixture of single family residential to the
north and west, institutional to the south
(Trinity Lutheran Church) and commercial to
the east.
~ti~lties can be provided to the site.
Access to the recently updated storm sewer
system is available in the Epperly Road
right-of-way. The sanitary sewer capacity is
available, and by the execution of a water
main extension agreement, adequate water
service can be provided.
T~raf~ is expected to be minimal.
The development is projected to generate
approximately 84 trips per day. The nearby
intersection at Williamson Road is signalized
which further helps to reduce the traffic
impact.
Neighborhood organization, Williamson Road
Action Forum, has been advised of the
rezoning and participated in a meeting with
the owner and architect on April 24, 1989.
Adjoining property owner has contacted the
Planning Office in support of the proposed
development.
III.
F. Comprehensive Plan recommends that
neighborhood character and environmental
quality should be protected and cha~ges
in land use in or near residential areas
should be carefully evaluated and designed to
conserve and enhance neighborhood quality.
Alternatives:
~ approve the rezoning request.
1. ~onin~ would become RM-2 conditional.
Site is developed in compliance with
proffered site plan.
Land use becomes multi-family but
provides a good transition from
commercial and institutional to single
family residential.
Utilities can be adequately provided.
Traffic is not an issue. Increased
traffic volume is minimal.
~ character is protected and
a vacant lot is redeveloped. An
opportunity for neighborhood input was
provided.
6. ~omprehensive Plan would be followed.
tV.
B. ~ deny the rezoning request.
1. Zoninq remains RS-3.
2. Land use remains unchanged.
3. Utilities are unaffected.
4. Traffic is not an issue.
5. Ne_~_~hborhood remains stable.
6. Comprehensive Plan could be followed.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 4-0 (Messrs. Bradshaw and Price and
Mrs. Goode absent), the Comimssion voted to
approve requested rezoning. The proposed rezoning
provides a good transition between commercial use
to single family use. It also addresses the need
to provide a variety of housing choices in an
existing neighborhood and encourages appropriate
infill development that is sensitive to the
existing neighborhood environment.

Re: Use of Existing Parking Area

Dear Mr. Fralin:
As lessee of the E1 Rodeo Restaurant, we have no
objection to your using twelve (12) parking spaces at the
rear of our existing parking area for overflow parking
associated with your proposed apartment development
adjacent to our premises. We understand you would be
using the spaces from 9PM to 9AM, if needed.

It has come to my attention that a problem with rats
in the neighborhood may be a result of the dumpster on
your site.
Please give your utmost attention to keeping the
dumpster covered at all times as well as insuring that
grease disposed is in containers.
I appreciate your continued cooperation in this
matter.

Dear Mr. Fralin:
In response to our telephone conversation this morning, I am writing to
state my assessment of the proposed townhouse project to be located across
Epperley Avenue from our church. While I am only expressing my personal feel-
ings and not any official position of this congregation, I have discussed this
project with our church council (our local leadership body) and have the benefit
of their reaction as well.
We simply do not have sufficient evidence to cause us to oppose the pro-
ject. Very likely we shall face some inconveniences, such as reduced parking
space on Epperley Avenue, but we do not foresee problems of such magnitude that
cause us any great alarm at this time.
I hope this response is of some assistance in the present inquiry that is
going on.
With best regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Kenneth P. Lane, Jr., Pastor

RE:
John Marlles, Planning Department
M. Craig Sluss, Water Departmen~
June 5, 1989
Epperly Road Apartment Project
John, I received the copy of David Bowers' letter that expressed the concerns
of Mr. Tilson and Mrs. Wolfe about the effect the Epperly Road apartment complex
would have on their water pressure. They indicated that they already have low
water pressure and feel that further development might cause an even greater
problem.
I have investigated again the pressure situation in that area. We took
actual readings at the fire hydrants to verify the pressures indicated on our
fire hydrant cards were still correct. Pressure in that area is in the 80 pounds
per square inch (psi) plus or minus 5 psi range. The BOCA building code requires
the consumer to install a pressure reducing valve if the water main pressure at
the service is greater than 80 psi. The water lines in the area are adequate~for
the development since the majority of these 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch water lines
were laid in 1953 following the 1949 annexation and the 1951 purchase of the
Williamson Road Water Company.
Any apparent low pressure problem that the consumers are experiencing in the
area would have to be caused by old, ~orroded, inadequate galvanized consumer
service lines and interior plumbing.
I discussed with Mr. Tilson by telephone his concern and found out that his
house is still served by a split service. A split service is where there is only
one city service line from the main over to the meter box with a "Y" branch at
the box to serve two separate meters. The Water Department has separated most of
these split services so that each consumer has a separate city service line from
the main to their meter. Mr. Tilson was very knowledgeable in this regard since
he worked for Aaron Conner Construction Company for years laying these water lines
in the Wiiliamson Road area. The Utility Lines Services Department has an order
to unsplit this service so each consumer will have separate consumer service lines.
This may alleviate part of Mr. Tilson's problem but not all of it as he still has
a galvanized consumer line.
In sur~m~ary, the apartment development should not have any effect on the
pressure and the water mains of the City of Roanoke Water Department in that area
as the size of the water mains are adequate and the pre~sure is close to the
maximum without pressure reducing valves. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact me.

Dear Mrs.
Re: Request of D. Jeffrey Parkhill, Architect,
representing John D. Fralin - rezoning of 3
lots in 2900 block of Epperly Avenue,
Bowles and Gentlemen:
This is in regard to the request of D. Jeffrey Parkhill,
Architect, representing John D. Fralin, that a tract contain-
ing three lots on Epperly Avenue, N. W., be rezoned from RS-3,
Residential 8ingle Family District to RU-2 Residential Multi~
family, Medium Density District. Petitions have been filed
with the City by individuals opposed to the rezoning. This
raises the issue of whether there are sufficient signatures
on these petitions to invoke the provisions of Section 62(5)
of the Roanoke City Charter which provides with reference to
amendments to the City's Zoning Map, in pertinent part, as
follows:
"Such reg~lations, restrictions, and boundaries
may from time to time be amended, supplemented,
changed, modified or repealed. In case, however,
of a protest against such change signed by the
owners of twenty per centum or more either of
the area of the lots included in each proposed
change, or of those immediately adjacent in the
rear thereof, or of those directly opposite
thereto, such amendment shall not become effec-
tive except by the favorable vote of five-sevenths
of all the members of the Council."
In reviewing the official tax maps of the City, it appears
that there are thirteen lots which can fairly be said to be
immediately adjacent or directly opposite to the property to be
rezoned. According to tax records these lots and their owners
are:

Dear Mr. Waldvogel:
A public hearing on the request of Mr. John D. Fralin, repre-
sented by Mr. D. Jeffrey Parkhill, that a tract of land con-
taining 0.81 acre, more or less, located in the 2900 block of
Epperly Avenue, N. W., identified as Block 1, Lots 19 21,
respectively, Official Tax Nos. 2160612 2160614, being one lot
behind Williamson Road, N. W., be rezoned from RS-3, Residential
Single Family District, to RM-2, Residential Multi-Family, Medium
Density District, subject to certain conditions proffered by the
petitioner, was held by the Council of the City of Roanoke at a
regular meeting held on Monday, June 12, 1989.
Ms. Linda F. Whitenack, 4103 Greenlawn Avenue, N. W., appeared
before Council and called attention to a petition signed by
approximately forty-three persons in opposition to the proposed
rezoning, which petition was filed with the ' City Planning
Commission at the public hearing on Wednesday, June 7, 1989. She
alluded to problems with water pressure, sewer problems, rats
from a dumpster at a restaurant located at 4206 Williamson Road,
N. W., which problem would be compounded if another dUmpster is
placed in the area of the townhouses; loss of privacy for resi-
dents on Ravenwood Avenue, inasmuch as the townhouses are pro-
posed to be two stories in height, and inadequate parking.
Council Member Bowers made the observation that in looking at the
proposed site plan, townhouse number fourteen appears to be on
the property line.
On motion, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, the matter was
referred back to the City Planning Corr~nission for a full report
addressing the abovestated concerns as well as the petition in
opposition to the request for rezoning.

The Honorable Noel C. Taylor, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from John D. Fralin, represented by
D. Jeffrey Parkhill, architect, that a tract
of land containing 0.81 acres, more or less,
located in the 2900 block of Epperly Avenue,
N.W., and identified as Official Tax Nos.
2160612,2160613 and 2160614, be rezoned from
RS-3 to RM-2.
Background:
Purpose of the rezoning request is to permit
the construction of multi-family dwelling.
Previous petition to rezone to RG-1 zoning
designation was denied in February, 1982, by
City Council. At that time inadequate
sanitary sewer capacity and lack cf storm
sewers were cited as reasons for denial.
Petition to rezone was filed on April 14,
1989·
De
Amended petition to rezone was filed on May
8, 1989. Proffered conditions are as
follows:
That the property will be developed in
substantial compliance with the site
plan prepared by Hughes Associate
Architects, Roanoke, Virginia, dated
April 12, 1989, a copy of which is
attached to the Petition for Rezoning as
Exhibit B, subject to any changes
required by City during site plan
review.
Room 355 Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue. S ",M I~)anoke. Virginia 24.011 (703) 981 234~.
II.
A six foot tall solid privacy fence will
be installed on the property line
adjacent to property located on
Ravenswood and Greenlawn Avenues.
e
If no building permit has been issued
and no construction commenced within
three years from the date of final
zoning approval, the zoning shall revert
to RS-3 without further action by City
Council.
Plannin9 Commission public hearing was held
on Wednesday, May 3, 1989. Mr. Jeffrey
Parkhill, architect, appeared before the
Commission on behalf of the petitioner. Mr.
Parkhill stated that the petitioner had held
a neighborhood meeting and the project was
well received. Mr. Parkhill also stated that
the petitioner was making every effort to
minimize the visual impact on the
neighborhood through architectural detail and
careful site design.
Mrs. Wolfe of 2929 Ravenwood Avenue presented
a petition opposing the subject rezoning.
She cited inadequate utilities and privacy as
the reasons for opposition.
Mr. Parkhill responed that utilities would be
extended to the site and that the City
Engineering Department had confirmed the
capacity of the utilities in the area.
Mr. Tasselli provided mapping confirming the
location of existing utilities and the
location of the proposed extensions. He
reconfirmed the adequacy of the utilities and
recommended approval of the rezoning.
Issues:
Zonin9 is presently RS-3. Zoning to north
and west is RS-3. RM-2 occurs to the south
along Epperly Avenue, N.W.. C-2 adjoins the
subject site to the east.
Land use is presently undeveloped
residential. Adjoining land uses are a
mixture of single family residential to the
north and west, institutional to the south
(Trinity Lutheran Church) and commercial to
the east.
III.
Utilities can be provided to the site.
Access to the recently updated storm sewer
system is available in the Epperly Road
right-of-way. The sanitary sewer capacity is
available, and by the execution of a water
main extension agreement, adequate water
service can be provided.
Traffic impact is expected to be minimal.
The development is projected to generate
approximately 84 trips per day. The nearby
intersection at Williamson Road is signalized
which further helps to reduce the traffic
impact.
Neighborhood organization, Williamson Road
Action Forum, has been advised of the
rezoning and participated in a meeting with
the owner and architect on April 24, 1989.
Adjoining property owner has contacted the
Planning Office in support of the proposed
development.
Comprehensive Plan recommends that
neighborhood character and environmental
quality should be protected and changes
in land use in or near residential areas
should be carefully evaluated and designed to
conserve and enhance neighborhood quality.
Alternatives:
A. City Council approve the rezoning request.
Zonin9 would become RM-2 conditional.
Site is developed in compliance with
proffered site plan.
e
Land use becomes multi-family but
provides a good transition from
commercial and institutional to single
family residential.
3. Utilities can be adequately provided.
Traffic is not an issue. Increased
traffic volume is minimal.
Neighborhood character is protected and
a vacant lot is redeveloped. An
opportunity for neighborhood input was
provided.
6. Comprehensive Plan would be followed.
IV.
B. City Council deny the rezoning request.
1 Zoning remains RS-3.
2 Land use remains unchanged.
3 Utilities are unaffected.
4 Traffic is not an issue.
5 Neighborhood remains stable.
6 Comprehensive Plan could be followed.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 4-0 (Messrs. Bradshaw and Price and
Mrs. Goode absent), the Comimssion voted to
approve requested rezoning. The proposed rezoning
provides a good transition between commercial use
to single family use. It also addresses the need
to provide a variety of housing choices in an
existing neighborhood and encourages appropriate
infill development that is sensitive to the
existing neighborhood environment.

Re:
Request of D. Jeffrey Parkhill, Architect,
representing John D. Fralin - rezoning of
lots in 2900 block of Epperly Avenue, N.W.
Dear Mrs. Bowles and Gentlemen:
This is in regard to the request of D. Jeffrey Parkhill,
Architect, representing John D. Fralin, that a tract contain-
ing three lots on Epperly Avenue, N. W., be rezoned from RS-3,
Residential Single Family District to RM-2 Residential Multi-
family, Medium Density District. Petitions have been filed
with the City by individuals opposed to the rezoning. This
raises the issue of whether there are sufficient signatures
on these petitions to invoke the provisions of Section 62(5)
of the Roanoke City Charter which provides with reference to
amendments to the City's Zoning Map, in pertinent part, as
follows:
"Such regulations, restrictions, and boundaries
may from time to time be amended, supplemented,
changed, modified or repealed. In case, however,
of a protest against such change signed by the
owners of twenty per centum or more either of
the area of the lots included in each proposed
change, or of those immediately adjacent in the
rear thereof, or of those directly opposite
thereto, such amendment shall not become effec-
tive except by the favorable vote of five-sevenths
of all the members of the Council."
In reviewing the official tax maps of the City, it appears
that there are thirteen lots which can fairly be said to be
immediately adjacent or directly opposite to the property to be
rezoned. According to tax records these lots and their owners
are:

Of these property owners, Hazel B. Jones and Linda Faye
Whitenack have signed the petition. Thus, owners of two of
the adjoining thirteen lots appear to have lodged a valld
protest. Among other signatures on the petition, there
appear the following: "Mr. and Mrs. Mike Wolfe" (Official
Tax No. 2160611); "Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Garland" (Official
Tax No. 2160607); and "Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Woods" (Offi-
cial Tax No. 2160608). The record owners of Official Tax
No. 2160611 are Michael W. and Daphalene L. Wolfe; the
record owner of Official Tax No. 2160607 is Graham S. Garland;
and the record owner of Official Tax No. 2160608 is Ruby F.
Woods. On several previous occasions, I have opined that
in order for a property to be properly counted toward the
number needed to invoke the provisions of $62(5), the signa-
tures of both co-owners of a parcel are necessary. One co-
owner signing a petition for himself and on his own behalf
is not sufficient to be counted toward the number needed to
invoke $62(5). Under these circumstances, I believe that
the provisions of $62(5) have not been met in order to
invoke the five-sevenths voting requirement.
I would be pleased to respond to any questions that the
members of Council may have with regard to this matter.
With kindest personal regards, I am

Roanoke City Planning Commission
August 14, 1989
The Honorable Noel C. Taylor,
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Mayor
Dear Members of the Commission:
Subject:
Request from Bill and Ruby Laferty,
represented by Michael K. Smeltzer,
attorney, that property located at 502
30th Street, N.W., bearing Official Tax
No. 2520114 be rezoned from LM, Light
Manufacturing District to HM, Heavy
Manufacturing District, such rezoning to
be subject to certain conditions
proffered by the petitioner.
Backqround:
Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the above-referenced matter on May 3, 1989.
Plannin~ Commission recommended approval of
the rezoning request by a vote of 3-1. The
Commission's recommendation to City Council
(attached) noted there was other property in
the area zoned HM and that other concerns
would be taken care of during site plan
review and Board of Zoning Appeals approvals.
Plannin~ staff recommended denial of the
proposed rezoning (attached) on the grounds
that the current LM zoning was appropriate
and more compatible with surrounding land
uses. Other concerns cited by staff were the
potentially adverse impact the proposed use
may have on existing and future development
in the area and the difficulty of buffering
the proposed stripping operation and
automobile storage area from adjacent
properties.

Members of

1989
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority
officials and City Economic Development staff
expressed concern regarding the impact the
proposed use will have on the Shaffers
Crossing Community Project and the Lansdowne
housing project as well as future development
in the area.
Second amended petition to rezone was filed
on May 15, 1989, proffering the following
additional condition:
After all useable parts are dismantled from
the automobiles, the remaining portions
thereof will be moved from the property
within five (5) business days.
Fo
Council public hearin~ was held on June 12,
1989. Council rferred the request back to
the Commission for further study, report, and
recommendation, with the understanding that
the Board of Commissioners of the City of
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority
would receive a briefing in order to
determine the impact on the Lansdowne housing
project as a result of the proposed rezoning.
Third amended petition was filed on July 6,
1989, proffering the following additional
conditions:
The front portion of the property
adjacent to 30th Street will be
landscaped with trees, shrubs and
flowers so as to improve the appearance
of the property. The landscaping will
be done in accordance with the landscape
plan as shown on the rendering, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
An amended Concept Plan is filed
herewith as Exhibit B. The amended site
plan shows two (2) entrances to the
property. One entrance is the public
entrance as shown on the original
Concept Plan. The second entrance is a
service entrance, which entrance will
not be used by members of the general
public. These two entrances will be the
only entrances into the property.

Current Situation:
Board of Commissioners of the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority
considered the proposed rezoning at meetings
on June 26, 1989 and July 10, 1989 (minutes
attached). After consideration of the
information provided by the petitioner's
attorney, Housing Authority staff, and City
staff, the Board of Commissioners, by
unanimous vote, adopted a motion concurring
in the recommendation of the Authority and
City staff that the requested rezoning be
denied. In addition, the Board respectfully
requested that the Planning Commission deny
the request (see attached correspondence from
H. Wesley White, Jr., dated 7/14/89).
Planning Commission public hearing to
reconsider the proposed rezoning was held on
July 5, 1989 and continued to July 19, 1989
(minutes attached). At the July 5 public
hearing, staff updated the Commission on the
action taken by City Council at their June
12, 1989, meeting. Mr. Marlles also noted
that staff from the Planning and Building
Departments were conducting a land use survey
of the neighborhood to identify existing
conditions in the area.
At the continued public hearing on July 19,
1989, Mr. Michael Smeltzer, attorney,
appeared before the Commission on behalf of
the petitioner. Mr. Smeltzer explained that
the reason for the request was to accommodate
Mr. Mullins so that he could use the property
for storage of automobiles pending his
stripping them of usable parts. He noted
that the request must also go before the
Board of Zoning Appeals for a Special
Exception. Mr. Smeltzer reviewed the
proffers and presented a rendering showing
the proposed landscaping. He also noted that
Mr. Mullins had been in the neighborhood for
11 years and was willing to expand his
business at an investment of $300,000. Mr.
Bradshaw questioned the proffer relating to
the removal of the hulks within five days and
advised that enforcement would be difficult.
Mr. Marlles presented the staff report
recommending denial of the requested
rezoning. Mr. Marlles stated that the
Planning and Building Departments had
conducted a detailed land use study of the
Members of
Page 4
August 14,
the City Council
1989
area and presented each Commission member
with a copy of the survey and findings.
Summarizing the study, Mr.Marlles stated the
major blighting influences in the area were
an existing automobile stripping operation
located to the west of the subject rezoning
and the existing automobile junk yard
immediately adjacent to the site in question.
He also noted that staff felt the area had a
high potential for new development and
redevelopment especially after the extension
of Peters Creek Road. Mr. Wesley White,
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority,
appeared before the Commission and stated that
the Board of Commissioners of the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority had
considered the request and had passed a
motion concurring in the recommendation of
staff that the request be denied. Mr. White
described a number of concerns, including the
negative impact the proposed use would have on
the 300 families in the project, problems
with completely buffering the proposed
storage area, enforcing the landscape
rendering which had been presented, the
proximity of the second service entrance on
30th Street to the existing housing
development and problems associated with the
future marketability of industrial land in
the Shaffers Crossing Redevelopment Area.
Mr. White stated he felt the City should not
treat this residential area any differently
than any other residential area in the City.
Mr. Doug Chittum, Roanoke City Economic
Development, appeared before the Commission
and stated he was also concerned about the
impact of the proposed project on the
marketability of the Shaffers Crossing
Redevelopment Area. Mr. Smeltzer asked the
Commission not to hold his client guilty for
the sins of others in the area and noted there
were junkyards in the area. He stated that
his client wanted to utilize the property in
a better more efficient manner. In the
discussion that followed the public hearing,
Mr. Bradshaw noted that Mr. Mullins could
continue his existing operation legally but
could not store automobiles on the outside.
In response to a question from Mrs. Goode,
Mr.Marlles said he did not know how the City
could enforce the rendering of the proposed
landscaping.

request was denied.

Mr. Michael M. Waldvogel, Chairman
and Members of the Planning Commission
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of the Commission:
Subject:
Request from Bill and Ruby Laferty,
represented by Michael K. Smeltzer,
attorney, that property located at 502
30th Street, N.W., bearing Official Tax
No. 2520114 be rezoned from LM~ Light
Manufacturing District to HM, Heavy
Manufacturing District, such rezoning to
be subject to certain conditions
proffered by the petitioner.
Background:
Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the above-referenced matter on May 3, 1989.
Planning Commission's recommendation to City
Council (attached report dated'6/12/89) to
approve the rezoning request resulted from a
3-1 vote of the Commission. The Commission,
in their recommendation to City Council, felt
there was other property in the area zoned HM
and that other concerns would be taken care
of during site plan review and Board of
Zoning Appeals approvals.
Ce
Planning staff recommended denial of the
proposed rezoning (attached report dated
5/3/89) on the grounds that the current LM
zoning was appropriate and more compatible
with surrounding land uses. Other concerns
cited by staff were the potentially adverse
impact the proposed use may have on existing
and future development in the area and the

difficulty of buffering the proposed
stripping operation and automobile storage
area from adjacent properties.
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority
officials and City Economic Development staff
expressed concern regarding the impact the
proposed use will have on the Shaffer's
Crossing Community Project and the Lansdowne
housing project as well as future development
in the area.
Council referred the request back to the
Commission on June 12, 1989 for further
study, report, and recommendation, and with
the understanding that the Board of
Commissioners of the City of Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority will
receive a briefing in order to determine the
true impact on the Lansdowne housing project
as a result of the proposed rezoning.
Current Situation:
Planning and Building Departments are
currently conducting a parcel by parcel
inventory of properties in the surrounding
neighborhood to assist City staff and the
Board of Commissioners of the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority to
evaluate the impact of the proposed rezoning
on the Lansdowne housing project as well as
the surrounding area. The preliminary
findings of this inventory will be
presented to the Commission at the July 5,
1989, public hearing.
Board of Cor~issioners of the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority have
requested a briefing by City staff on the
results of the inventory at their regularly
scheduled meeting on July 10, 1989 (see
attached correspondence from Herbert D.
McBride, Executive Director, dated 6/29/89).
Recommendation:
Staff is delaying making a recommendation on this
matter until completion of the indicated inventory
and to give the Board of Commissioners of the
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority an
opportunity to further consider this matter at
their July 10, 1989, meeting. Preliminary
findings from this inventory will be presented at
the July 5, 1989, public hearing of the Commission.

parts will be conducted entirely within
the buildings on the property. The
exterior of the property will be
utilized for storage of automobiles.
After all usable parts are dismantled
from the automobiles, the remaining
portions thereof will be moved from the
property as soon as practicable.
The front portion of the property
adjacent to 30th Street will be
landscaped with shrubs and flowers so as
to improve the appearance of the
property.
5. If the property is -ot used as an
automobile recycling yard, with
associated retail and storage activities
within three (3) years from the date of
final approval, the zoning shall revert
to LM, Light Manufacturing District
without further action by City Council.
Wrecking, salvage, and recyclin~ yard..,
including junk yards and automobile
graveyards and associated retail sale and
storage activities are permitted in the HM
zone subject to the granting of a special
exception by the Board of Zoning Appeals
provided that:
The use is not detrimental to adjacent
uses.
The use is not visible to public view
from any collector or arterial street
or road by virtue of its location on a
hillside or location on a plateau belo~
street level, and the use is screened
~rom view from adjacent properties and
public streets.
The use is entirely enclosed by a solid
fence or wall at least eight (8) feet in
height with access only through solid
gates.
Said fence or wall shall be at least
twenty-five (25) feet from any street or
road or adjoining property not in the
same district.
Said fence shall not be used for
advertisement of the business of the
owner or operator.

Ne_~,q_hborhood is a mixture of residential,
commercial, and industrial uses. Staff's
primary concern with regard to this petition
is the potentially adverse impact the proposed
use may have on existing and future
development in the area. The elevation of
the site relative to Shenandoah Avenue and
the adjacent parcel to the west of the area
to be rezoned makes buffering the proposed
stripping operation and automobile storage
area difficult if not impossible.
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authorit~
officials and City Economic Development staff
have expressed concern regarding the impact
the proposed use will have on the Shaffer's
Crossing Community Development Project and
the Lansdowne housing project as well as
future development in the area.
Planning Commission public hearing was held
on May 3, 1989. Mr. Mike Smeltzer, attorney,'
appeared before the Commission to summarize-
the request for rezoning. Mr. Smeltzer noted
that Mr. Mullins, the contract purchaser,
wanted to continue to utilize the property in
its present use and in addition he wanted to
to store automobiles on the site so they
could be stripped. Mr. Smeltzer noted that
once all the usuable parts were stripped from
the hulks, they would be removed from the
property. He further stated that all work
would be conducted entirely within the
existing structures with the exception of
outside storage. In response to concerns
about outside storage of the automobiles,
Mr. Smeltzer indicated they were proffering
that they be removed within five working
days.
Planning staff recommended denial of the requested
rezonlng. Staff expressed concern regarding the
impact of the proposed use on existing and future
development in the area. Staff also indicated
that the existing LM zoning was more appropriate
and compatible with existing land uses.

Issues:
Zoning is presently LM. Zoning to the north,
east and west is also LM. Zoning to the
south across Shenandoah Avenue is HM.
Existing land use in the area proposed for
rezoning is primarily warehousing and sale of
used automobile parts. Secondary land uses
include a flea market and several fruit and
vegetable stands.
Adjacent land uses include an automobile junk
yard to the north, a paint and body shop and
the Lansdowne housing project to the east
across 30th Street, and the Lightweight
Concrete Block Company to the south across
Shenandoah Avenue. The Shaffer's Crossing
Redevelopment Area is located diagonally
across Shenandoah Avenue.
Utilities are not an issue. Although area
experiences storm drainage problems, proposed
use would generate minimal increase in
run-off. Area is on City's priority list for
future storm drainage improvements.
Alternatives:
A.
Reco~u,end approval of the requested rezoning.

to provide for uses which may have
harmful affects on other districts
(e.g., noise, odor, hazardous material,
excessive dust, etc.).
Land use becomes automobile recycling

Recommendation:
By a vote of 3-1 {Mr. Sowers voting against the
motion, Messrs. Bradshaw and Price and Mrs. Goode
absent), the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the requested rezoning. The
Commission felt that there was other property
in the area zoned MM and that other concerns would
be taken care of during site plan review and Board
of Zoning Appeals approvals.

2520114, be rezoned from LM, Light Manufacturinq
District to HM, Heavy Manufacturin~ District, such
rezonin~ to be subject to certain conditions proffered
by the petitioner.
Mr. Smeltzer appeared before the Commission and stated he
was representing the Lafertys, owners of the property, and
Mr. Edgar Mullins, who wishes to purchase the property.
He said the property was located at the corner of 30th and
Shenandoah Avenue. He advised that Mr. Mullins operated
the Mullins Auto and Body Shop opposite the tract in
question. He added that the used parts business had begun
on the tract in question about three years ago and Mr.
Mullins now had an option to purchase the site.
Mr. Smeltzer explained that the reason for the request was
to accommodate Mr. Mullins so that he could use the
property for storage of automobiles pending his stripping
them of usable parts. He added that the request must also
go before the Board of Zoning Appeals for a special
exception relative to fencing the property from view. He
said that it was pretty clear that the use would not be
seen from Shenandoah Avenue or 30th Street once the fence
is erected.

Mr. Smeltzer said that he had submitted proffered
conditions relative to development of the site and
attempted to meet all the requirements and concerns the
people had. He mentioned that one of the proffers was
that the automobile hulks would be removed from the
property within five days and that the site plan had been
amended to provide a second service entrance, with a solid
gate-type entrance. Mr. Smeltzer also presented a
rendering, which showed landscaping~
Mr. Smeltzer continued his presentation by stating that
Mr. Mullins had been in the neighborhood for 11 years and
wished to expand his business in the same neighborhood.
He said that Mr. Mullins was willing to do so at an
investment of $300,000. He also noted that he felt the
project would improve the neighborhood.
Mr. Buford asked if the petitioner was proffering that the
hulks would be removed within five days.
Mr. Smeltzer said that he was and read the proffered
condition to the Commission.
Mr. Bradshaw commented that he did not understand the
proffer and advised that enforcement would be difficult.
He also asked if dismantling of individually-requested
parts from the automobiles while they were parked in the
yard would be allowed.
Mr. Smeltzer explained the operation to the Commission,
noting that the stripping of the entire vehicle was done
within the building.
Mr. Marlles presented the staff report. He stated that on
June 12, 1989, City Council had referred the matter back
to the Commission for reconsideration and had also
requested that the Board of Commissioners of the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority determine the impact
of the project on the Lansdowne housing development.
Mr. Marlles also noted that the Planning and Building
Departments had conducted a detailed land use study of the
entire Shenandoah Avenue 30th Street area, and provided
each Commissioner with a copy of the findings.
Mr. Marlles stated that the Board of Commissioners had
received a full briefing of the issues by both Mr.
Smeltzer and City staff and had concluded that the project
would have a negative impact on the Lansdowne Housing
Project and had requested the Planning Commission deny the
requested rezoning.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 19, 1989
Page 6
Summarizing the land use study, Mr. Marlles noted the
major blighting influences in the area were an existing
automobile stripping operation located on the south side
of Shenandoah Avenue and the existing automobile junk yard
immediately adjacent to the site in question. He said
that staff had concluded that the area had a high
potential for both new development and redevelopment of
sites, especially if Peters Creek Road was extended to the
area.
Mr. Marlles commented on the zoning violations which were
observed in the area and stated that the majority involved
inoperable or abandoned motor vehicles and outside
storage. He said that staff felt the area was stable and
that the violations could be handled. Mr. Marlles also
noted that the zoning inspector was in the process of
determining which of the violations might be grandfathered
or in existence prior to the adoption of the new zoning
ordinance and which would be acted on.
Mr. Marlles continued his report by stating that staff
felt that the existing LM zoning was more appropriate and
the terrain of the would make it difficult to provide for
complete screening. He also commented that the additional
service entrance which was being requested was further
down 30th Street, closer to the Lansdowne project. He
~aid the proposal deserved to be looked at very carefully
and it was generally not the type of use that was
encouraged next to residential development.
Mr. Wesley White, Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing
Authority, appeared before the Commission and stated that
since the last Commission meeting on the matter, the
petitioner's counsel has appeared before the Board of
Commissioners of the Housing Authority. He said that the
Board of Commissioners had asked for staff's
recommendation and staff had recommended denial of the
request. He noted that several items had been considered;
such as the recent upgrading of the Lansdowne area, with
new recreational facilities being planned for the area.
He said the project would have a negative impact on the
300 families in the project.
Mr. White also co~ented on the conditions along 30th
Street with the junkyard that was presently there and
stated that another junkyard was not needed in the area.
Relative to the site plan, Mr. White commented that the
second entrance was a concern because it was closer to
Lansdowne.
Mr. White stated that there was concern about the impact
the rezoning would have on the Shaffers Crossing area. He
said that the future marketability of the land in the area
was a concern.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 19, 1989

Mr. White commented on the landscape plan and he
questioned whether what was presented was really a
landscape plan. He said that it was a pretty picture but
it gave no dimensions and no plant material.
Mr. White said that the Board of Commissioners had
discussed the future of the entire area and the affect
that the Peters Creek Road Extension would have on the
area. He said that the new road extension would make the
area more desirable for business and light industrial
uses.
Mr. White advised that the Board of Commissioners had
passed a motion concurring in the recommendation of the
Planning staff - that the request be denied. He said the
Board respectfully requested that the Commission deny the
request. He asked where else in Roanoke would a
junkyard-type operation be allowed in close proximity to a
residential area. He said the City should not treat this
residential area any differently than any other residential
area in the City.
Mr. Waldvogel asked where the Lansdowne recreational
improvements were located.
Mr. White stated they were located across Salem Turnpike.
Mr. Waldvogel said that Mr. White had expressed concern
that the project would have a negative impact on Shaffers
Crossing. He asked if any of the land were for sale.
Mr. White responded that none of the land was for sale at
the present time.
Mr. Waldvogel asked for the timing of the Shaffers
Crossing project.
Mr. White explained that a number of sites had been
acquired and it was hoped that additional land would be
acquired within the next year but did not know the exact
timing.
Mr. Waldvogel asked to what type of use the Shaffers
Crossing property would be put.
Mr. White said that it could be used for anything allowed
in the redevelopment plan - light manufacturing,
processing, wholesaling, freight terminals, etc.
Mr. Waldvogel asked how the proposed use of the Mullins
site would have a negative impact on the uses proposed for
the Shaffers Crossing area.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 19, 1989
Page 8
Mr. White explained that any business developer would not
want to invest a large amount of money and be located
across the street from a junkyard or recycling center.
The present zoning in the area was discussed. Mr. Marlles
advised that zoning on the south side of Shenandoah Avenue
was split between LM and HM. Zoning on the north side of
Shenandoah Avenue was LM.
Mr. Doug Chittum, Roanoke City Economic Development,
appeared before the Commission and stated that he was
concerned about the impact of the proposed project on the
marketability of the Shaffers Crossing Redevelopment
Project. He said he believed it would be easier to market
the Shaffers Crossing area if the operation in question
were not allowed. Mr. Chittum commented that the funding
for the Shaffers Crossing area had decreased over the
years, however, he hoped to be able to have property for
sale shortly.
Mr. Waldvogel asked Mr. Chittum if he believed there was a
demand for LM land in the area.
Mr. Chittum said that he believed there was and had had
inquiries asking for a timetable. He said there were
available LM-zoned sites, however, there were problems
with water, sewer, or storm drainage. He also used the
Deanwood area as another example of a very successful park
that was comparable with the Shaffers Crossing area.
Mr. Smeltzer asked the Commission not to hold his client
guilty for the sins of others in the area. He said that
there were junkyards in the area, but the point was that
the requested rezoning was a separate organization, which
worked well. He said the business answered a need in the
community and would not be doing anything in the
neighborhood to worsen it. He said that his client wanted
to utilize the property in a better, more efficient
manner. He said that he was not introducing a novel
concept to the neighborhood because there was a junkyard
operation of Mr. Almond's one block up the street. He
also commented that Mr. Almond's property was up for sale
and it was possible that Mr. Mullins could purchase the
site and would be able to use it as Mr. Almond was using
it now. He encouraged the Commission to make a favorable
recommendation to City Council.
There was discussion of the reversion of the zoning of the
property and Mr. Marlles stated that the requested use was
proffered and that the property would revert if it was not
used as an automobile recycling yard, with associated
retail and storage activities within 2 years of the date
of final zoning approval.
Roanoke City Planning Commission
July 19, 1989
Page 9
Mr. White asked if the use of the Almond property would
fall under the new zoning ordinance.
Mr. Marlles said that if the use was discontinued for a
specified period of time, then the use would have to
conform to the present ordinance. He said that under the
present use, the Almond business could be operated but not
expanded.
Mr. White also voiced his concern over the type of fencing
that would be used for screening and the Board of Zoning
Appeals' authority to grant exceptions.
Mr. Waldvogel advised that the public hearing portion of
the meeting was ended. He then moved to grant the
petitioners request to rezoning the property as proffered
and amended. He asked Mrs. Franklin to read the
proffered conditions.
After a reading of the conditions, Mr. Bradshaw said that
it was his understanding that Mr. Mullins could continue
his operation legally but could not store automobiles on
the outside.
Mr. Marlles stated that was correct.
Mrs. Goode asked if the rendering of the landscaping was
sufficient for review.
Mr. Marlles said that he did not know how the City could
enforce thc si~e~plan. He commented that a comprehensive
site plan review would have to be done by City staff.
Mr. Bradshaw questioned why site plan review was required
and there was discussion of the Code sections requiring
comprehensive site plan submittal. Mr. Marlles advised
that the expansion of the use and additional traffic would
trigger a need for review. He also added that the Zoning
Administrator would have to determine if a basic or
comprehensive site plan were required.
Mr. Sowers commented that when the request was before the
Commission previously he had voted for denial because of
the alleged negative impacts on the neighborhood, but more
importantly he felt the Commission was crossing the
natural boundary line for HM zoning - Shenandoah Avenue.
He said that if the natural boundary were crossed,
he feared there would be a strip of H~ in both directions.
There being no further discussion, Mr. Waldvogel asked for
a roll call vote. By a vote of 3-3, the motion to approve
the request was denied (Messrs. Bradshaw and Sowers and
Mrs. Goode voting against the motion and Messrs. Buford,
Jones and Waldvogel voting for the motion).

The Commissioners of the City of Roanoke Redevelopment and

1989, at 12 noon in the office of the Authority, 2624 Salem

Assistant
The Chairman declared the minutes of the Regular Meeting of
June 26, 1989 approved as submitted.
In connection with the Authority's consideration of the
position it will take on the petition filed by Edgar Mullins to
rezone property at the corner of 30th Street and Shenandoah Avenue,
N. W., from LM (Light Manufacturing) to HM (Heavy Manufacturing),
a briefing was given by Mr. Tom Tasselli of the Planning
Department of the City of Roanoke relative to the City's survey of
properties and environment adjacent to the Lansdowne Housing
Development. Mr. Tasselli informed the Commissioners that this
survey included Salem Turnpike, N. W. and Shenandoah Avenue, N. W.
and as far as Westwood Boulevard, N. W. to the west and 24th
Street, N. W. to the east. A total of 117 parcels were surveyed,
and a total of 35 possible zoning violations were observed. After
completion of this survey, the City Planning staff recommended
denial of the rezoning of the property from light manufacturing to
heavy manufacturing. They did not feel that even with the
requirement of the six foot fence for screening that this would
adequately screen this type of operation. Mr. Doug Chittum of the
Economic Development Department of the City showed the Board a
rendering of the landscaping plan which Mr. Mullins would use for
his business. Mr. Chittum did not feel that this plan was complete
and that it did not conform to the City's ordinance requirements.
The Economic Development staff of the City are also concerned about
the marketability of the nearby Shaffer's Crossing area if this
type of business were allowed in this area.
Mr. White gave a recommendation of the Authority staff of
denial for this rezoning and stated such reasons as the renovation
which has been done to the Lansdowne Housing Development and our
obligation to the residents, the Peters Creek Road Extension which
would be in this area, and the marketability of the Shaffer's
Crossing Area. After discussion, Commissioner Glenn made a motion
recommending that the Board support the recommendations of the
Authority staff and City staff and recommend to the Planning
Commission the denial of this property rezoning from LM to HM.

The motion was seconded by Commissioner Loeb, and upon roll call,
the following vote was recorded:
AYES: Commissioners Albergotti, Butler, Glenn, Justis,
Keeling, Loeb
NAYS: None.
The Chairman thereupon declared said motion carried.
Mr. White presented a resolution authorizing the execution of
an Annual Contributions Contract for Housing Voucher Program, ACC,
Part I, No. 6-V, Contract No. P-5522-V. Mr. White informed the
Board that this new contract would now split these Section 8
projects up into different types of funding increments. The
beginning dates for the first four projects will be considered to
begin when we make the first request for funding. The most recent
project will have a beginning date being the date that HUD signed
the contract. After discussion, Commissioner Albergotti
introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2408

Re: Rezoning, 502 30th Street, N.W., Official Tax No. 2520114
Dear Mr. Marlles:
During their regular meeting on July 10, 1989, the Authority,s
Board of Commissioners was given a briefing by Mr. Tom Tasselli of the
City Planning Department relative to the City's survey of properties
in the area surrounding the area to be rezoned. As a result of
the survey and other planning considerations, Mr. Tasselli stated to
the Board that the City's Planning Staff continues to recommend denial
of the rezoning.
Mr. Doug Chittum of the City's Economic Development Department
also app%ared before the Board and expressed his concern that the
proposed auto recycling facility would adversely impact on the
marketability of the Shaffer's Crossing Area which is located
diagonally across Shenandoah Ave., N.W. from the area to be rezoned.
Mr. Chittum also expressed his department,s opposition to the rezoning.
I was then asked by Chairman Butler to present to the Board the
Authority,s staff recommendation. The staff's position was that the
rezoning should be denied. This position was based on the following
considerations:
1)
Over the past few years, the Authority has spent
approximately 4 million dollars to upgrade Lansdowne Park
Housing Development in order to make it a more desirable
place for its residents to live. Present auto junk yards
and repair operations along 30th Street already have a

4)
negative impact on the development. Since these uses are
grandfathered, there is not much that can be done. However,
the Authority can express its concern as to the negative
effects that the proposed rezoning would have on the develop-
ment. The staff felt that the proposed use cannot be properly
screened from the development.
The site plan presented by the petitioner has been amended
to include a second entrance off of 30th Street. The staff
felt that this entrance, which would be used to bring the
junk cars into the facility for striping, would produce a
greater negative visual impact on the Lansdowne Development
than previously envisioned by the use of the one entrance.
The property to be rezoned was diagonally across Shenandoah
from the Shaffer's Crossing Community Development Project.
Because of this, the staff felt that the proposed use would
create a negative impact on the future marketability of that
area.
The petitioner was to present to the Commissioners a
landscape plan for the area to be rezoned. Counsel for the
petitioner submitted to the Authority's staff a copy of
a color rendering of the recycling facility. This rendering
was not an acceptable landscape plan since it did not give
dimensions or plant materials. The staff has always been
concerned with the proper screening of the proposed facility
and the information submitted did in no way alleviate this
concern. The petitioner has made no attempt over the years
to make any improvements to his present auto repair operation
located on 30th Street. The Authority staff felt there was
no basis to expect that the petitioner would maintain
the proposed recycling facility any differently.
The 30th Street/Shenanandoah Avenue Area is likely to become
a more desirable area for business and light industrial uses
once the Peters Creek Road extension is completed. The staff
felt that any changes in the zoning at this time may have a
negative impact on this area and should be avoided. Every
effort should be made to improve the area, not cause further
deterioration.

After some discussion, the Board of Commissioners by unanimous
vote, adopted a motion concurring in the recommendations of the
Authority Staff and the City of Roanoke Planning Staff. In addition,
the Board respectfully requested that the Planning Commission deny
the rezoning of 502 30th Street, N.W., Official Tax No. 2520114 from
LM, Light Manufacturing to HM, Heavy Manufacturing.
If I can be of any further assistance at this time, please do not

RE: Rezoning from LM to HM - 502 30th Street, NW
Roanoke, Virginia - Tax No. 2520114
Dear Mr, Marlles:
Please be advised that Mr. Edgar Mullins and his legal
counsel, Mr. Michael K. Smeltzer of Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove,
briefed the Board of Commissioners of the City of Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority on the proposed rezoning
of 502 30th Street, N. W., Roanoke, Virginia, at a regular meeting
held on Monday, June 26, 1989.
As you are aware, the Board of Commissioners of the City
of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority are vitally concerned
about the impact that the rezoning will have on the Lansdowne
Park public housing development. In order for the Board to
make an evaluation, it is necessary that the following documents
be made available:
1. updated Site Plan showing all entrances
2. Landscaping Plan
3. a building conditions survey of properties adjacent
to the Lansdowne housing development and properties
in the immediate neighborhood
Upon receipt of the above information, this item will be
placed on the agenda for the Board's consideration for the meeting
to be held on July 10, 1989.

RE: Rezonin[~ 5 acres at 30th Street and Shenandoah Ave.
Gentlemen:
The above property was originally used by Timber Truss Company and I
personally am still the mortgage holder.
While I could benefit from the rezoning by receiving future monthly
mortgage payments in a timely manner, I recommend that the property
no___~t be rezoned for the following reasons:
1. Future abandonment of the property may result in high clean up
costs of autos or auto parts for the city or myself.
2. It will be impossible to completely screen the used autos from view
in all directions.
3. In the future rats may find a home in the autos or auto parts with
resulting health problems to nearby residence.
4. Families in the Lansdowne Project deserve a better back yard than
this.
5. The neighborhood needs building up not further deterioration.
Yours very truly,

Mayor
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Request from Bill and Ruby Laferty,
represented by Michael K. Smeltzer,
attorney, that property located at 502
30th Street, N.W., bearing Official Tax
No. 2520114 be rezoned from LM, Light
Manufacturing District to HM, Heavy
Manufacturing District, such rezoning to
be subject to certain conditions
proffered by the petitioner.
Background:
ae
Purpose of the rezoning is to conduct an
automobile recycling yard, including
associated retail sale and storage
facilities.
Petition to rezone was filed on April 7,
1989. Proffered conditions were:
The property will be developed in
substantial compliance with the concept
plan subject to any changes required by
the City during site plan review.
The rezoned property shall be used only
for the purpose of operating an
automobile recycling yard thereon,
including associated retail and storage
activities.
Ail activities with respect to the
stripping of parts from automobiles and
the storage and sale of used automobile

parts will be conducted entirely within
the buildings on the property. The
exterior of the property will be
utilized for storage of automobiles.
After all usable parts are dismantled
from the automobiles, the remaining
portions thereof will be moved from the
property as soon as practicable.
The front portion of the property
adjacent to 30th Street will be
landscaped with shrubs and flowers
to improve the appearance of the
property.
so as
If the property is not used as an
automobile recycling yard, with
associated retail and storage activities
within three (3) years from the date of
final approval, the zoning shall revert
to LM, Light Manufacturing District
without further action by City Council.
Wrecking, salvage, and recycling yards,
including junk yards and automobile
graveyards and associated retail sale and
storage activities are permitted in the HM
zone subject to the granting of a special
exception by the Board of Zoning Appeals
provided that:
The use is not detrimental to adjacent
uses.
The use is not visible to public view
from any collector or arterial street
or road by virtue of its location on a
hillside or location on a plateau below
street level, and the use is screened
from view from adjacent properties and
public streets.
The use is entirely enclosed by a solid
fence or wall at least eight (8) feet in
height with access only through solid
gates.
Said fence or wall shall be at least
twenty-five (25) feet from any street or
road or adjoining property not in the
same district.
Said fence shall not be used for
advertisement of the business of the
owner or operator.
Members of City Council
Page 3
June 12, 1989
The contents of the use shall not be
placed or deposited to a height greater
than that of the fence or wall.
De
Neighborhood is a mixture of residential,
commercial, and industrial uses. Staff's
primary concern with regard to this petition
is the potentially adverse impact the proposed
use may have on existing and future
development in the area. The elevation of
the site relative to Shenandoah Avenue and
the adjacent parcel to the west of the area
to be rezoned makes buffering the proposed
stripping operation and automobile storage
area difficult if not impossible.
Roanoke Redevelopment and Housin~ Authority
officials and City Economic Development staff
have expressed concern regarding the impact
the proposed use will have on the Shaffer's
Crossing Community Development Project and
the Lansdowne housing project as well as
future development in the area.
Plannin~ Commission public hearin~ was held
on May 3, 1989. Mr. Mike Smeltzer, attorney,
appeared before the Commission to summarize
the request for rezoning. Mr. Smeltzer noted
that Mr. Mullins, the contract purchaser,
wanted to continue to utilize the property in
its present use and in addition he wanted to
to store automobiles on the site so they
could be stripped. Mr. Smeltzer noted that
once all the usuable parts were stripped from
the hulks, they would be removed from the
property. He further stated that all work
would be conducted entirely within the
existing structures with the exception of
outside storage. In response to concerns
about outside storage of the automobiles,
Mr. Smeltzer indicated they were proffering
that they be removed within five working
days.
Planning staff recommended denial of the requested
rezoning. Staff expressed concern regarding the
impact of the proposed use on existing and future
development in the area. Staff also indicated
that the existing LM zoning was more appropriate
and compatible with existing land uses.
Members of City Council

June 12, 1989
II. Issues:
Zoning is presently LM. Zoning to the north,
east and west is also LM. Zoning to the
south across Shenandoah Avenue is HM.
Existing land use in the area proposed for
rezoning is primarily warehousing and sale of
used automobile parts. Secondary land uses
include a flea market and several fruit and
vegetable stands.
Adjacent land uses include an automobile junk
yard to the north, a paint and body shop and
the Lansdowne housing project to the east
across 30th Street, and the Lightweight
Concrete Block Company to the south across
Shenandoah Avenue. The Shaffer's Crossing
Redevelopment Area is located diagonally
across Shenandoah Avenue.
Utilities are not an issue. Although area
experiences storm drainage problems, proposed
use would generate minimal increase in
run-off. Area is on City's priority list for
future storm drainage improvements.
III.
Alternatives:
A. Recommend approval of the requested rezoning.
Zoning becomes HM. HM zone is intended
to provide for uses which may have
harmful affects on other districts
(e.g., noise, odor, hazardous material,
excessive dust, etc.).
Land use becomes automobile recycling
yard with associated retail and storage
activities.
3. Utilities not an issue.
Neighborhood could be at least partially
screened by the proposed use although
total screening may not be possible due
to differences in elevations.
5. Comprehensive Plan would be followed.
B. Recommend denial of the rezoning request.
1. Zoning remains LM.
Members

of City Council
1989
Land use is unchanged. Area remains
available for future light industrial
development. Existing retail sales and
storage for used automobile parts could
continue.
Utilities not an issue. Area is on
City's priority list for future storm
drainage improvements.
4. Neighborhood not affected.
Comprehensive Plan could still be
followed.
Recommendation:
By a vote of 3-1 (Mr. Sowers voting against the
motion, Messrs. Bradshaw and Price and Mrs. Goode
absent), the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the requested rezoning. The
Commission felt that there was other property
in the area zoned HM and that other concerns would
be taken care of during site plan review and Board
of Zoning Appeals approvals.

The Honorable Noel C. Taylor, Mayor
and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke, Virginia
August 14, 1989
Dear Mayor Taylor and Council Members:
SUBJECT: American Flag Displays
On Downtown Street Light Poles
I. Background:
Roanoke United Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, took
responsibility for the display of American flags in the
downtown area on holidays for more than 20 years. They
appeared before Council on March 7, 1983, and informed
Council that the future program for downtown area flags
would be carried out by the Vietnam Veterans of America.
Resolution No. 26423, adopted March 14, 1983, commended
Messrs. Marvin H. Boley and James E. Robertson for their
leadership in coordinating this effort during that 20+ year
period.
Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter #81, have coordinated
the display of American flags in the downtown area on
holidays since 1983.
II. Current Situation:
Vietnam Veterans of Americat Chapter #81, have requested
assistance from the City of Roanoke in their efforts to
display the American flag on holidays in the downtown area.
Motor vehicle used to drive along City streets and from
which flags are placed in holders on light poles became
undependable and too expensive to maintain.
Manpower in the form of volunteers recruited by the Vietnam
Veterans is still available and desires to continue this
project.
III. Issues:
Continuation of the display of American fl~g~ in the
downtown area on various holidays.
B. Cost to the City.
C. City liability.
IV. Alternatives:
Authorize the City Manager to assist the Vietnam Veterans of
America by providing a City truck and driver to help with
erecting American flags on street light poles in the
downtown area on appropriate holidays.
Continuation of the display of American flaKs in the
downtown area will be possible through public-private
cooperation. Volunteers will erect the flags from the
back of a City vehicle.
o
Cost to the City will be relatively nominal and cover
approximately three hours of overtime for one employee
each holiday and the operating expense of a City
vehicle. This cost can be absorbed in existing budget
accounts.
City liability will be protected by a public liability
insurance policy provided by the Vietnam Veterans of
America, Chapter #81, in the amount of $500,000 in
which the City of Roanoke, its employees and agents are
named as co-insured.
Do not authorize the City Manager to assist the Vietnam
Veterans of America with erecting America flags on street
light poles in the downtown area on appropriate holidays.
Continuation of the display of American fla~s, in the
downtown area will not be assured unless the Vietnam
Veterans of America are able to secure assistance from
a source other than the City.
Cost to the City will be nothing unless installing the
flags would become a total City responsibility.
City liability will be moot.
V. Recomendation:
City Council approve Alternative "A" thereby authorizing the City
Manager to assist the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter #81,
in the erection of American flags on street light poles in the
downtown area on appropriate holidays.
Respectfully submitted,
