GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR TAYLOR AND MEMBERS OF THE ROANOKE CITY

ADDITIONALLY, TREATMENT CAN BE RECEIVED THROUGH HOME-BASED
COUNSELING, DAY TREATMENT, OUTPATIENT COUNSELING, AND, FOR
CHILDREN ONLY, RESIDENTIAL SERVICES. CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
ARE ASSIGNED FOR THOSE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WHO MUST LEAVE
THE COMMUNITY FOR STATE HOSPITALIZATION. THIS ASSURES A TIMELY
AND SUCCESSFUL DISCHARGE BACK TO THE HOME COMMUNITY.

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA,
The 4th day of December, 1989,
No. 29866-12489.
A RESOLUTION approving initial targeting of the Home Purchase
Assistance Program in Conservation Areas and Rehabilitation Districts
in the Southeast quadrant of the City.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City of Roanoke hereby
approves the initial targeting of the Home Purchase Assistance Pro-
gram in the Belmont Conservation Area, the Fallon Park, Kenwood and
~orningside Rehabilitation Districts in the Southeast quadrant of
the City in accordance with the recommendation made in the report of
the City Manager dated December 4, 1989.
ATTEST:
City Clerk..
Roanoke, Virginia
December 4, 1989
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Targeting Initial Phase of the Home Purchase Assistance
Program in Southeast Quadrant.
I. Background
Application to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community
Development (DHCD) for the Single Family Rehabilitation and Energy
Conservation Loan Program was approved by City Council on December
19, 1988.
Execution of Administrative Agreement with DHCD was authorized by
City Council on March 27, 19897 for a $ 300,000 allocation under the
Single-Family Rehabilitation and Energy Conservation Loan Program; the
allocation is to be used for three (3) purposes:
1. In conjunction with the Home Purchase Assistance Program. In
this program, $ 240,000 in Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds, already allocated by Council to this initiative,
will allow the City to provide loans to low-moderate income
households agreeing to buy approximately 18-20 certain identified
substandard houses. Funds provided from the State's Program will
be loaned for the rehabilitation, up to $ 20,000/house. 'the Pro-
gram to be administered jointly by the City and the Roanoke Re-
development and Housing Authority (RRHA) as outlined in the City's
current contract for services with RRHA.
2o
In conjunction with the existing Critical Home Repair Program.
This program already provides grants of up to $ 67000 each to
make critically needed repairs to the homes of low income home-
owners. The State's Program provides forgiveable loans for
energy conservation repairs to appropriate houses in the Critical
Home Repair Program. In this way, additional money-saving improve-
ments may be made at no cost to the homeowner.
Loans for rehabilitation of other houses of low-moderate income
families or individuals.
December #, 1989
Page 2
Home Purchase Assistance Program guidelines provide that the
City will target vacant single-family houses that are:
1. Located within Conservation Areas or Rehabilitation Districts.
2. In apparent good structural condition.
3. In need of significant repair, but repairs needed are not likely
to exceed $ 20,000.
In strategic locations expected to be reasonably attractive to
prospective buyers.
5. Reasonably concentrated to provide a positive impact within the
immediate area.
6. Available for purchase at approximately $ 10,000 - 13,000.
II. Current Situation:
A. City Administration has determined the Belmont Conservation Area
and the Fallon Park~ Kenwood, and Morningside Rehabilitation Districts
(Attachment) are areas having a significant number of houses that fall
within the parameters of the Program.
Deadline for closing all loans for rehabilitation repairs under the DHCD
allocation is March 27, 1990.
III.
Issues:
A. Effect on Housing Conditions.
B. Consistency with the Recommendations of the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force.
C. Efficient Administration of the Home Purchase Assistance Program.
D. Cost to the City.
E. Timing.
December #, 1959
Page 3
IV.
Alternatives:
Approve initial targeting of the Program within Conservation Areas
and Rehabilitation Districts in the Southeast Quadrant of the City
(Attachment)
Effect on housing conditions will be positive, as home-ownership
opportunities will be provided to low-moderate income households
in the Southeast Quadrant of the City. Benefits of these home-
ownership opportunities include:
Approximately 8-10 single family houses in the Southeast
Quadrant will be purchasedr rehabilitated and occupied by low-
moderate income households~ using these rehabilitation funds.
Concentrated targeting of the Program within specific sections
o1[ the Southeast Quadrant will enhance the appearance and image
of the area through the rehabilitation efforts, and encourage
attractive maintenance of surrounding properties.
Creation of homeownership opportunities will prevent conversion
of these homes to rental units - which has been a recent trend~
and an issue of great concern to the neighborhood organization
and individuals within the area. City Council has been
approached recently by an individual in regards to this concern.
2. Consistency with recommendations of the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force will be met, specifically:
Strategic concentration of effort (General Policy 1) - Houses
under the Home Purchase Assistance Program are expected to be
clustered and in areas where substantial spin-off benefits to
stabilize nearby property are likely to occur.
Owner-occupancy of renovated houses (Goal 6, Objective A~
Activity 1) - The Home Purchase Assistance Program is designed
to do this.
Continued homeownership (Goal 6, Objective B, Activity 1) -
All recipients of loans under the Housing Purchase Assistance
Program will receive counseling and instruction in home main-
tenance, repair, etc., to facilitate long term homeownership.
do
Leveraging and recycling funds (Resources, Activity 5) - The
Program design uses CDBG funds already committed to gain the
use of State funds on very attractive terms. In addition~ the
CDBG funds dedicated to the Home Purchase Assistance Program
will be repaid to the City over 10 - 15 years.
December 4, 1989
Page #
Efficient Program administration will be enhanced through approval
of the Southeast Quadrant as the initial target area. Specifically,
initial targeting of the Program in Conservation Areas and Rehab-
ilitation Districts in the Southeast Quadrant of the City will allow
immediate Program implementation, as candidate properties and owners
in Southeast have been identified.
4. Cost to the City would be nothing beyond what is already allocated
to the Program. However;
The City will receive additional tax revenues and other benefits
from the rehabilitated property, and from increased values of
nearby properties.
b. Allocation of State funds will be utilized fully, taking maximum
advantage of available resources.
Timing of Program implementation will be aided by approval of this
plan to implement the Program, as all State Loans for Rehabilitation
must be closed by March 27, 1990.
Do not approve initial targeting of the Program within Conservation Areas
and Rehabilitation Districts in the Southeast Quadrant of the City
( Attachment).
Effect on housing conditions will be negative, as homeownership
opportunities will not be provided to low-moderate income households
in the Southeast Quadrant of the City. Lost benefits of these home-
ownership opportunities include:
Approximately 8 - lO single-family houses in the Southeast
Quadrant will not be purchased, rehabilitated and occupied
by low-moderate income households, using these rehabilitation
funds.
b. Abscence of concentrated targeting of the Program within
specific sections of the Southeast Quadrant will not enhance
the appearance and image of the area through rehabilitation
efforts and will not encourage attractive maintenance of sur-
rounding properties.
Lost creation of homeownership opportunities will not prevent
conversion of these houses to rental units - which has been a
recent tread, and an issue of great concern to the neighborhood
organization and individuals within the area.
December q, 1989
Page 5
2. Consistency with recommendations of the Housing Development
Strategic Plan Task Force would not be met.
£fficient administration o( the Program will be hindered Jack of
approval of the Southeast Quadrant as the initial target area and,
will not allow immediate Program implementation, as candidate
properties and owners in other locations will have to be identified.
4. Cost to the City can be recognized as lost opportunity cost.
a. The City will not receive additional tax revenues and other
benefits from the rehabilitated property, and from increased
values of nearby property.
b. Allocation of State funds may not be utilized fully.
Fiming of Program implementation will be hindered by lack of
approval of the current Program implementation plan, which may
result in all loans for rehabilitation not being closed by March
27, 1990, and consequently, a loss of funding for this housing
initiative.
V. Recommendations:
Adopt Alternative A, thereby approving initial targeting of the Home
Purchase Assistance Program in Conservation Areas and Rehabilitation
Districts in the Southeast Quadrant of the City.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Change Order No. 1
Alum Tank Repair
Water Pollution Control Plant
Roanoke, Virginia
I. Backsround:
Bids for this project were received by City Council on May 1,
1989 with Structures & Utilities Co., Inc. submitting the
only bid in the amount of $44~500.00 and 90 consecutive
calendar days construction time.
Additional deterioration of concrete was discovered after
removal of the alum behind the liner to the extent that up to
two inches in depth of concrete had to be removed by sand
blasting and chipping to get down to a sound surface. This
created an uneven surface to receive the new liner. For this
reason the tank has to be treated with a polyester cement
liner/~rout/scratch coat to smooth the surface to receive the
liner material. A reinforcing fiberglas mat has to be
applied to this surface before the originally specified
material can be applied.
Original Tank #1 finish consisted of a plywood liner, galva-
nized sheet metal and a synthetic rubber surface liner.
There was no way to determine the extent of the concrete wall
deterioration until these finishes had been removed. Tank #3
is a new tank and does not require concrete repair. Tank #2
is to remain as it now exists.
II. Issues are:
A. Extent of repair
B. Fundin8
C. Time
Page 2
III. Alternatives are:
IV.
Approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Structures
& Utilities Co., Inc. in the amount of $15~570.00 and an
additional 30 days construction time.
Extent of repair could not be determined until after the
tank liner had been removed. These tanks and their
chemicals are required for the proper treatment of
sewage in the plant operation.
2. Fundin~ is available as follows:
Project contingency
$4,500.00
From Maintenance of Buildings and
Property of the WPCP
Account Number 003-056-3155-2050
$11~070.00
Total Change
$15,570.00
3. Time extension of 30 days construction time.
B. Do not approve Change Order No. 1.
Extent of repair would not change. The tank will have
to be repaired before a new liner can be installed and
the tanks returned to service.
2. Fundin~ would not be encumbered.
3. Time of completion would be delayed until the repair
work and new liner have been completed.
Recommendation is that City Council approve Alternative "A" and
authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 with
Structures & Utilities Co., Inc. in the amount of $15~570.00 and
30 days additional construction time.
Authorize the Director of Finance to encumber $11~070.00 from the
Water Pollution Control Plant Maintenance of Buildings and
Property, Account Number 003-056-3155-2050, for the project
"Alum Tank Repairs - WPCP".

No. 29870-12489,
VIRGINIA,

No. 1 to the City's contract with Mattern & Craig, Consulting Engi-
neers, for engineering services in connection with site development
analysis on an approximate 140-acre tract of land to provide for addi-
tional archeological services, development and feasibility analysis

BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that:
1. The City Manager is authorized and empowered to issue, for

Change Order No. 1 to the City's contract with Mattern ~ Craig,

Attest:

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke, Virginia
December 4, 1989
Dear Members of Council:
Subject: RCIT Addition Feasibility Analysis - Change Order No. 1
I. Background:
Mattern & Craig~ P.C.~ Consulting Engineers was awarded an engineering
services reimbursement with a cost ceiling contract in an amount not to
exceed $100~000.00 by City Council (Ordinance No. 29589) on May 22,
1989.
Contract services for this development feasibility analysis included
environmental assurances, rezoning assistance, geotechnical survey,
mapping, and a development feasibility analysis for the subject Site.
Three development alternatives were prepared by Mattern & Craig, P.C.
in an effort to fully evaluate the proposed use of the RCIT Addition
property. These alternatives were presented to City Council at its
September 11, 1989 meeting.
II.
Current Situation:
A.
Additional services that have been rendered by Mattern & Craig, P.C.
included the services of an archeologist to assist in the archeologi-
cal and historical evaluation of the site at a cost of approximately
$4~100.00. These services were not originally contemplated.
Consequently, the costs incurred to date are $4~578.26 in excess of
the $100,000.00 maximum previously authorized by City Council.
Development Feasibility Analysis exceeded the initial estimate by
approximately $12~500.00 due to the evaluation of two additional
development schemes suggested by the local and state historical
interests, and the additional public meetings and briefings for
discussion and presentation of the analysis. Consequently, the
Topographic Mapping Phase, (previously estimated at $13~600.00 which
was to be part of the $100~000.00 contract) was not authorized due to
the additional funds needed for the Development Feasibility Analysis.
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Re: RCIT Addition Feasibility Analysis/Change Order No.
Page 2
Comparison of the original $100~000.00 fee estimate with actual
updated fee is shown in Attachment I. An increase in the contract
from $100~000.00 to $118,000.00 will allow for payment of additional
services and enable the Topographic Mapping Phase to be accomplished.
III.
Issues:
Necessity and justification of additional work
Fundin~
Timin8
IV. Alternatives:
A. Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 in the amount
of $18~000.00.
Necessity and justification of additional work exists. Topo-
graphic mapping will be needed for future development of RCIT
Addition.
2. Fundin~ is available in the RCIT Addition - Property Account
Number 008-052-9629-9003.
Timin~ is important inasmuch as the topographic mapping involves
aerial photographic survey which should be done during the
upcoming winter months when there is less foliage.
B. Do not authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 in the
amount of $18~000.00.
1. Necessity and justification of additional work would continue to
exist.
2. Fundin8 is not an issue.
3. Timtn~ of plans for any future development could be delayed if
topographic mapping is not completed.
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
Re: RCIT Addition Feasibility Analysis/Change Order No.

Recommendation is that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute

tisement was also published in the Roanoke Times/
World News in January, 1989.
Ce
Bids were receive~, after due and proper adver-
tisement, until 2:00 p.m. on March 15, 1989, at
which time all bids so received were publicly
opened and read in the office of the Manager of
General Services.

staff from Roanoke City, Roanoke County and Salem.
II. CURRENT SITUATION
Six (6) bid responses were received. Bid tabula-
tions are attached.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Members of Council:
Subject:
Roanoke River Flood Reduction Project -
Utility Tax Rate Increase and
Local Cooperative Agreement - Public Hearing
I. Background:
Flood Reduction Project through Roanoke was outlined in an
Environmental Impact Statement and Feasibility Report dated
January 1984. Project consisted of flood reduction elements
(channel widening, dikes, and floodwalls), floodproofing,
recreation and early warning system.
Lette~ of Intent was forwarded to the Corps of Engineers June
27, 1988 for a project with a total estimated cost of
$31~000~000 and a local non-federal estimate of ~14,490,250.
Benefit to cost ratio was approximately 1.15 to 1.
City voters approved a bond referendum in April, 1989
authorizing the issuance of up to ~7,500,000 for the Roanoke
River Flood Reduction Project. Prior to the referendum, the
City Manager stated that he would recommend up to a two (2)
percent increase in the Utility Tax to pay the bond debt
payments for this project.
General Design Memorandum was distributed in June 1989 for
general review and this document is scheduled to be approved
by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works by
December 15, 1989.
City Staff has reviewed the proposed Local Cooperative
Agreement and have negotiated a revised Agreement with the
Corps of Engineers.
Local Cooperative Agreement (LCA) is a contract between the
local sponsor (City of Roanoke) and the Federal Government
outlining cost sharing payments, indemnification, future
maintenance responsibility, etc.
Fo
Federal regulations do not allow the local sponsor to begin
land acquisition prior to executing the LCA.
LCA is scheduled to be signed by all parties in January 1990.
City needs to implement any tax increases associated with
this project to ensure a funding source is available for our
obligation as outlined in the LCA. In addition, additional
funds are needed once land acquisition begins.

Dear Members of Council:
Subject: New Sanitary Sewer Lines Related to New Storm
Drainage Construction
The attached staff report was considered by the Water
Resources Con~nittee at a special called meeting on November 20,
1989. The Committee recommends that Council establish a specific
connection fee for the forty-eight (48) connections to be
provided on Ravenwood, Dorchester, Floraland, and Vancouver Streets
at $1,136.93, in lieu of the prevailing connection fee. Hook-up to the
City lateral is voluntary with the connection fee being paid at the
time service is requested by the homeowner.

Mr. W. Robert t, City Manager
SUBJECT:
New Sanitary Sewer Lines Related to
New Storm Drainage Construction
Background:
A. Extension of sanitary sewers within the City occurs by
established policy:
Upon proper application for extension of a public
sanitary sewer, the City may bear one-half of the
cost of the first three hundred (300) feet, with
the applicant bearing the full cost of extensions
over three hundred (300) feet. Each applicant pays
100% of the cost of construction of their sewer
lateral. This extension policy is addressed in
Chapter 26, Code of the City of Roanoke (1979).
The City in the absence of an agreement to the con-
trary may assess abutting landowners with one-half
of the total cost of sewer improvements fully
funded initially by the City. The assessment is
applied as a lien upon abutting landowners and re-
corded and indexed in such persons name in the of-
fice of the clerk of the circuit court. This ex-
tension policy is addressed in Chapter 24, Code of
the City of Roanoke (1979).
Unsewered sections of the City exist with the risk and
potential for septic tank failure.
New storm drainage construction in unsewered sections:
(1) provides a method to install new sewer lines at a
significant cost saving, (2) one time disruption for
construction, (3) one time acquisition of easements.
IV.
Do
New storm drains currently under construction in Huff
Lane area provide the opportunity to future sewer ser-
vice to forty-eight (48) existing homes on septic sys-
tems and provides capability to extend to adjacent
water shed area in future. Affected streets are
Ravenwood, Dorchester, Floraland, and Vancouver, (At-
tachment #1).
A one-time connection fee needs to be established to
address this storm drain/sewer project, provide a
method to recover costs, and be consistent with prior
sewer extensions.
Cost saving occurs for the sewer line work if the
sewer work is bid and constructed as a part of the
storm drain project. Avoided cost however, is the
amount of credit change order due the City if the sewer
work is not performed as part of the project. (Attach-
ment #2).
Average cost to property owners for lateral construc-
tion and connection fee in areas where a sewer main
exists in the street is $1~217.02, (Attachment #3).
Average cost to property owners per extension policy
based on lot frontage assessment for main line con-
struction and lateral services is $2,115.52, (Attach-
ment #4).
Citizens' meeting was held by the administration on
November 2, 1989, at Huff Lane Elementary School. A
consensus was reached by the majority of the residents
in attendance to accept the City's plan to install
sewer facilities and establish a specific connection
fee. A petition was submitted (attached) by the citi-
zens objecting to mandatory hookup.
Issues:
A. Costs
1. Initial
2. Recovered
B. Precedent Setting
C. Benefits
Alternatives:
Committee recommend to City Council that the City es-
tablish a specific connection fee for the forty-eight
(48) connections to be provided on Ravenwood, Dorches-
ter, Floraland, and Vancouver streets. Additionally,
in accordance with the petition submitted by the pro-
perty owners, hook-up to the City lateral is on a
voluntary basis. The fee is $1,136.93 per connection
(Attachment #5), and compares to $1~217.02 average cost
that property owners are currently paying to connect to
existing sewer mains in the street. The fee is based
on the avoided cost of the new sewer line construction
as provided by the Engineering Department. This fee
would be assessed to the abutting landowners in accor-
dance with existing policy as identified in Chapter 24,
Code of the City of Roanoke (1979).
1. Costs
(a) Initial cost to construct the line will be
charged to the sewer fund.
(b) Recovered cost will be accomplished per method
recommended.
Precedent setting situation will not be created as
property owners will pay for lines provided for
their use and in accordance with past, present, and
future extensions.
Benefits derived by City and landowners of un-
sewered areas are: reduced construction cost,
one-time construction disruption, eliminate need to
acquire additional easements in future, and provide
for the emergency of septic tank failures.
Committee not recommend to City Council that a method
be established to recover cost of lines installed by
City.
1. Costs
(a) Initial cost to construct line will be paid by
City.
(b) Recovered costs will not occur.
Precedent setting situation will be created and an
orderly process for system expansion and develop-
ment will not occur.
3. Benefits will not be realized.
IV.
Recommendation: Committee recommend to City Council that a
specific connection fee for the service area be established
in accordance with Alternative "A" at $1,136.93, in-lieu-of
the prevailing connection fee. Hook-up to the City lateral
is voluntary with the connection fee being paid at the time
service is requested by the homeowner.

OFFICE TOWER H. MUSSER November 20, 1989
When the idea was first presented to this council related to the
proposed office tower, the major prospective tenants were to be Norfolk
Southern and Dominion Bank. The proposal included closing of the
viaduct. Negotiations continued for some time and at a point Norfolk
Southern removed themselves as a possible tenant.
After council was presented with this negative turn of events, and
was told that the idea of the tower was a dead issue, this council
4~~ instructed the city manager and his staff to contact Mr.
Fasion and see if there was any way that we could build the tower
without Norfolk Southern being a part of it. This council did not
request the tower to built elsewhere but on the present sight which
meant the removal of the viaduct. This was~of this year.
Why did Mr Fasion decide to build at th~cation? Well the fact
is that it was not his decision. He was.told where to build the
building by the city. The city received the decision from RTKL the
consulting firm that was hired to evaluate the city for this type of
structure as well as the future of the hotel and a future convention
center. It was their idea that the viaduct be removed. It was from
this study that the traffic consultant came into the picture and
recommended the various traffic re-routing patterns to solve the
problem.
I will be the first to admit that I am not an engineer nor am I a
developer, therefore I cannot quiet the fears of any traffic delays, nor
can I solve the problem of the empty office space that these tenants
will create. Since no one is an expert in all fields, we have to rely
on the advice of those who are.
Should there have been public hearings held about the viaduct? I
think that there should have been , however, they should have been held
back in May or June. At that time little or no objections were raised
in fact it is my understanding that extensive investigations were
conducted about public opinion as to the removal of the viaduct with the
same results. Should there have been a referendum about the project?
Yes, however it should have been started around May or June in order to
have it on the ballot in this past election. It is too late at this
eleventh hour.
Where will the money come from to pay for that portion which the
city will purchase for a parking garage? From the taxes produced from
the tower itself and the parking fees from the same building.
Why bring all this up? Some of these facts I don't feel have been
effectively presented to the public before and I feel they should know.

Dear Mayor Taylor and Council Members:
Subject: Downtown Tower/Parking Garage
Henry Faison Development
I. Back, round:
ao
DesiKn '79, DesiKn '85, and Focus '89, each studies of
Downtown Roanoke, have included recon~nendations in regard to
major development sites.
B. Focus '89 Study was tasked with four principal objectives:
Improve the vehicular access to and through the study
area in a way which promotes better citywide
circulation.
Identify sites in the study area for future office and
related supporting development.
Recommend a location for the Convention/Exhibit Center
and its associated parking facilities.
Reduce the perceived separation between the area north
of the railroad and the downtown area south of the
railroad.
C. Northeast corner of Jefferson Street and Salem Avenue has
been identified in all studies of the downtown area as the
premier location for a new office complex.
Faison Associates of Charlotte, North Carolina, initially
announced in May 1989 their interest in constructing a
multi-story office tower development at this location.
City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate with
the developers in an effort to implement such a project if
agreements can be reached to ensure quality development in
the best interest of the City.
II. Description of Project
The office tower/parking garage project will be a combination of
private and public improvements.
Page 2
The City will convey all or part of three parcels of City-owned
land to the Roanoke Redevelopment & Housing Authority. RRHA will
convey this land to the developer for $23.00 per square foot.
The developer will construct a multi-story office tower at the
northeast corner of Jefferson Street and Salem Avenue. Within
the tower, at levels two through seven, will be a parking
facility. Above the parking facility will be leasable office
space of not less than 171,000 square feet.
Adjoining the office tower, and immediately east thereof, will be
an additional six-story parking facility integral with the six
levels of parking in the office tower. The first level of this
parking wing and the adjoining office tower lobby shall be
commercial area containing not less than 19,000 square feet of
leasable space to be owned and leased by the developer.
The combined parking facility in both the office tower and
adjoining wing garage shall contain approximately 727 parking
spaces. The developer shall also install landscape screening
along the north side of Norfolk Avenue adjacent to the Norfolk
Southern railroad tracks.
The City of Roanoke and the Roanoke Redevelopment & Housing
Authority will purchase the six levels of parking within the
office tower and adjoining wing garage upon completion of
construction for a maximum purchase price of $11,379,000. RRHA
will lease their three stories of the parking garage to the
developer for a term of 60 years for use of the tenants within
the tower. The City will own three stories of the parking garage
and will operate the entire garage as a public parking facility.
The City will demolish the Jefferson Street leg of the Hunter
Viaduct, and relocate the Pollard Clock and Hunter Memorial.
Streetscape improvements, such as sidewalks, street trees, street
lights, and similar amenities comparable elsewhere in the
downtown area, will be constructed by the City along Salem
Avenue, Jefferson Street, and Norfolk Avenue adjacent to the site
of the office tower/parking garage. Related paving work will be
performed in those street segments.
The City plans to construct, but not as a requirement of the
Agreement between the City, RRHA, and the developer, an atrium,
pedestrian bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, and a
public park or plaza near the intersection of Salem Avenue and
First Street, S. E.
III. Current Situation
mo
City PlanninK Commission held a public hearing on October 4~
1989 to consider closure of the Jefferson Street leg of the
Hunter Viaduct and review of the comprehensive development
plan for the office tower/garage. The Commission
Page 3
Bo
unanimously recommended closure of the Viaduct to City
Council and approved the comprehensive site plan for the
office tower/garage.
Architectural Review Board held a public hearing on
October 12t 1989, to consider certificates of
appropriateness for demolition of the Jefferson Street leg
of the Hunter Viaduct and the proposed office tower/parking
garage construction. The Board unanimously approved
demolition of the Viaduct and granted design approval for a
22 to 26 story office building subject to final approval of
the exact site location.
Board of ZoninK Appeals held a public hearing on
November 7t 1989 to consider a special exception for the
height of the proposed office tower. Approval was granted
unanimously.
City Council held a public hearing on November 13~ 1989 to
consider closure of the Jefferson Street leg of the Hunter
Viaduct. Persons spoke both for and against this proposal.
VirKinia Department of Transportation Commission approved
the City's request to close the Jefferson Street leg of the
Hunter Viaduct and reassign various highway routes at their
meeting on November 16t 1989.
IV. Issues:
A. Legal Authority.
B. Economic Benefits.
C. Traffic Impact.
D. Cost to City.
E. Method of FinancinK.
V. Alternatives:
City Council approve the office tower/parking garage project
at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Salem Avenue and
authorize execution of the appropriate documents related to
this development.
LeKal authority exists for Council to close and
demolish the Jefferson Street leg of the Hunter
Viaduct; sell City-owned property for the proposed
development; and appropriate funds required for the
purchase and construction of related public
improvements.
Page 4
Bo
Economic benefits will be significant. The City will
derive direct benefits from increased real estate and
personal property taxes, utility taxes, and parking
fees. The real estate taxes and parking fees generated
by this development will exceed the debt service on
bonds to be sold for construction of public
improvements and purchase of the completed public
parking facility. Additional developments in the
downtown area currently underway undoubtedly will
provide increased economic benefits for the City.
o
Traffic impact will initially be moderate but not
unacceptable upon closure of the Jefferson Street leg
of the Hunter Viaduct. Mitigation measures have been
planned to reduce the impact on the traffic flow in the
downtown area. Ultimately, upon construction of the
proposed Second Street, S. W. Bridge over Norfolk
Southern railroad tracks traffic circulation will be
improved throughout downtown.
Taking into consideration the sale of City-owned
property to the developer ($971,175), and the interest
which the City will earn on available capital funds
prior to their being disbursed on July 1991 to purchase
the completed facilities ($522,744), the net cost to
the City for the parking garage will be $9,885,081.
The gross cost will be not more than $11,379,000.
Demolition of the Jefferson Street leg of the Viaduct
and construction of streetscape improvements will cost
an additional $398,130. Construction of the atrium,
pedestrian bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad,
and plaza at the intersection of Salem Avenue and First
Street, S. E., will cost $1,767,000. These latter
improvements are at the City's option to construct and
not a requirement of the office tower/parking garage
project.
Method of financing will be a combination of available
unallocated capital funds, capital fund interest, a
portion of fiscal year 1990 Capital Maintenance and
Equipment Reserve Funds, proceeds from the sale of the
land to the developer, and $6,800,000 general
obligation bonds issued pursuant to the Public Finance
Act. Additional City revenues from real estate taxes
and parking fees from the office tower/parking garage
complex will more than support the proposed bonds.
City Council not approve the office tower/parking garage
project at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Salem
Avenue and not authorize execution of the appropriate
documents related to this development.
Legal authority exists for City Council to approve or
decline to approve this project.

Economic benefits would be lost in that the proposed
office tower/parking garage would not be developed.
Other downtown developments would likely not proceed
since property owners would be uncertain about the
future growth and stability of this area of the City.
Traffic impact would be moot. Existing traffic
circulation patterns would be maintained.
Cost to the City would be nothing more than the costs
already incurred to purchase two (2) parcels of real
estate and employ engineers to design removal of the
viaduct and other professionals engaged in legal,
appraisal, and review aspects of the proposal.
5. Method of financin~ would be moot.
VI. Recommendation:
City Council approve Alternative "A", and approve the following
measures:
Appropriate $5,689,500 to an account to be established by
the Director of Finance for payment to the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority to purchase three levels
of a parking garage within the office tower/garage complex.
Funding is to be provided from unallocated Capital funds of
$4,135,635 and CMERP funding of $1,553,865.
Appropriate $5,689,500 to an account to be established by the
Director of Finance for the City of Roanoke to purchase
three levels of the parking garage. Funding is to be
provided by land sale proceeds of $971,175 and anticipated
general obligation bond funds of $4,718,325.
Co
Appropriate $2,165,130 from anticipated bond funds of
$2,081,675 (total bond issue $6,800,000) and CMERP funding
of $83,455 for other costs associated with the downtown
development project to an account to be established by the
Director of Finance. This includes funds of $198,130 for
the Hunter Viaduct demolition.
Adopt the attached Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to
sign a contract of sale/purchase agreement, with
attachments, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and
authorizing the Mayor to execute a deed conveying the
