ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PUBLIC HEARING
NORTHWEST HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CENTER
MARCH 9J 1987
HONORABLE MAYOR TAYLOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERSJ
MY NAME IS FLORINE THORNHILL. I LIVE IN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF ROANOKE
CITY. IN SPRING 0F1985, I WAS APPOINTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO SERVE ON AN ADVISORY BOARD TO LOCATE A PLACE
AND DEVELOP MENTAL HEALTH~ MENTAL RETARDATION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE
SERVICES IN NORTHWEST. WE LOCATED AN OFFICE AT 802 LOUDON AVENUE. THE
FIRST YEARS FUNDING FOR THE NORTHWEST HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CENTER WAS IN
THE AMOUNT OF $35J000 PROVIDED UNDER A CONTRACT BY THE CITY OF ROANOKE.
THE CENTER HAS OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE PAST SEVENTEEN MONTHS UNDER
THE LEADERSHIP OF MISS VICKIE PRICE, WHO RECENTLY RESIGNED TO COME TO
WORK FOR THE CITY. SHE AND THE CENTER BROUGHT HOPE AND HIGH
EXPECTATIONS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OUR NORTHWEST CITIZENS. IT IS
HEARTBREAKING AND DEVASTATING TO THE COMMUNITY TO SEE A CENTER THAT HAS
ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS POSSIBLY CLOSE FOR THE LACK OF
FUNDS.
THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS AND NEEDS WITHIN THE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY:
THE CENTER IS BADLY NEEDED IN THE NORTHWEST AREA BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS
INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY POVERTY, POOR HOUSING, HIGH
NEEDS AND LOWERED EXPECTATIONS.
* POPULATION IS OVER 16,610 IN A FOUR SQUARE MILE AREA WHICH IS ABOUT
17% OF THE CITY POPULATION.
* THE CITY HAS A BELOW POVERTY LEVEL OF 12.5% BUT IN THE NORTHWEST
COMMUNITY THE BELOW POVERTY LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER AT 24.3%. WOMEN HEAD
60% OF THESE POOR FAMILIES AND 71% OF THE WOMEN HEADING HOUSEHOLDS
HAVE CHILDREN UNDER 18 .
EDUCATION PROVES TO BE ANOTHER NEGATIVE FACTOR WORKING AGAINST OUR
PEOPLE IN THE NORTHWEST AREA. 15% OF THE 16-19 AGE GROUP ARE NOT IN
SCHOOL, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED HIGH SCHOOL DROP-OUTS.
ACCORDING TO VIRGINIA'S DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, DIVISION OF YOUTHJ
ROANOKE CITY RANKS THIRD OUT OF 41 JURISDICTIONS IN THE WESTERN
REGION, IN AREAS WHICH INDICATE THE LEVEL OF PRE-DELINQUENT PROBLEMS
FOR YOUTH. ROANOKE CITY IS 1ST IN POVERTY, 1ST IN CHILD ABUSE~ 3RD IN
YOUTH PREGNANCY AND 3RD IN LEVEL I OR FELONY OFFENSES. WHEN BASED ON
POPULATION PERCENTAGESJ ROANOKE RANKS lST ON THE HIGH RISK INDICATOR
REPORT. WITHIN ROANOKE CITY~ THE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY RANKS FIRST IN
HIGH-RISK PROBLEMS.
A DOOR TO DOOR COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT WAS DONE IN THE NORTHWEST AREA TO
DETERMINE THE PERCEPTIONS OF COMMUNITY PROBLEMS. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL,
UNEMPLOYMENT, AND LACK OF ORGANIZED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES WERE
CONSIDERED MOST IMPORTANT BY THOSE INTERVIEWED. WHEN ASKED WHAT
PROGRAMS WERE MOST NEEDED THE ANSWERS WERE FAMILY AND COMMUNICATION
SKILLS, PARENT TRAINING, AND DRUG AND ALCOHOL EDUCATION. THE CENTER~
SINCE ITS BEGINNING, HAS ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THESE IDENTIFIED NEEDS.
THE CENTER HAS DONE SO BY THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF PROGRAMS:
* PREVENTION/EDUCATION ACTIVITIES:
-IN WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS WERE
PLANNED IN SUBSTANCE ABUSEJ ANGER MANAGEMENTJ AND COPING SKILLS FOR
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
-WITHIN THE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON ALCOHOL AND DRUGS~
2
COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND STRESS MANAGEMENT WERE CONDUCTED.
-THE CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION PROGRAM was DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
NORTHWEST AREA MINISTERS WITH CLASSROOM TRAINING AND IMPROVING THEIR
COUNSELING AND PASTORAL SKILLS.
-DIRECT CLIENT CARE WAS PROVIDED BY COUNSELORS ASSIGNED TO THE CENTER
FROM EACH OF THE 3 DIVISIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES OF THE ROANOKE
VALLEY IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE~ MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL RETARDATION.
* SUPPORT GROUPS: THE CENTER PROVIDED SUPPORT GROUPS FOR RECOVERING
ADDICTS, MENTAL RETARDATION~ AND STUDENTS.
-THE RECOVERING ADDICTS MET WEEKLY AND PROVIDED OVER 500 HOURS OF
ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT.
-A SOCIAL CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE MENTALLY RETARDED WHICH PROVIDED
OVER 700 HOURS HOURS OF RECREATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL LEARNING
ACTIVITIES. MY DAUGHTER IS A MEMBER OF THAT SOCIAL CLUB AND HAD MANY
HOURS OF PLEASURE. BECAUSE OF LACK OF FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION TO THE
CENTER~ THE CLUB HAD TO STOP MEETING TEMPORARILY. WE ARE HOPEFUL THE
PROGRAM CAN BEGIN AGAIN SOON.
-ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN SESSIONS DESIGNED
TO INCREASE STUDENTS' FEELINGS OF SELF WORTH AND COPING SKILLS.
-RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES BEGAN AT THE CENTER INCLUDING A 4-H CLUB, A
CHESS CLUB, GIRL SCOUT PROGRAM AND SHORT-TERM SUMMER AND WEEKEND
ACTIVITIES.
-MANY AGENCIES AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE CENTER IN
PROVIDING THEIR EXPERTISE AND VOLUNTEER RESOURCES. THIS HAS
GREATLY ADDED TO THE SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CENTER.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CENTER HAS BEGUN TO ADDRESS MANY NEEDS AND WE HOPE
THAT THE PROJECT CAN CONTINUE. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT COUNCIL APPROVE
3
THE ALLOCATION OF $18,891 IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS TO
BE USED IN SUPPORT OF THIS WORK DURING THE 1986-87 PROGRAM YEAR. A
REQUEST ALSO HAS BEEN MADE TO THE CITY FOR THE NEXT PROGRAM YEAR TO
CONTINUE OUR ACTIVITIES. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WILL BECOME A PRIORITY AND
COME BEFORE YOU AT A LATER DATE.
WE KNEW A CENTER LIKE THIS WAS NEEDED BEFORE IT WAS STARTED. WE ARE
NOW CONVINCED OF ITS WORTH TO THE NORTHWEST COMMUNITY. WE ON THE
ADVISORY BOARD WANT TO THANK THE CITY FOR ITS SUPPORT OF THIS PROGRAM
AND URGE YOU TO APPROVE THE FUNDING RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NORTHWEST
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CENTER BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
AND ATTENTION.

CENTER
What Are theProblems and Needs of the Northwest Community?
The Northwest section of Roanoke City is an area historically
impacted by poverty, poor housing, high needs and lowered expectations.
It is a four-square mile area with a population of 16,610, just under
17% of the total population of the City. The area has a black popula-
tion of 99%, and 24.3% of its families are below poverty level (compared
to 12.5% below poverty level in the City as a whole). 64% of the
families below the poverty level have children; women head 60% of those
poor families, and, of the women head-of-households, 71% have children
under 18.
Education is another negative factor in the Northwest area: of
those 25 and older, 42.8% are high school graduates, whereas across the
City 57.5% of that age group finished high school. 15% of those in
Northwest, ages 16 - 19, are not in school and are not high school
graduates, and thus may be considered drop-outs.
More than three times as many families in Northwest depend on
public assistance income than Roanoke Cit~: 31.7% households in North-
west as compared to 9.7% in Roanoke City.z/
Health statistics reflect problems typical of communities with
negative socio-economic indices and a high incidence of community prob-
lems:

Chronic Liver Disease 11.8 9.3 15.2
Homicide & Legal Intervention 9.6 8.2 14.2
The infant death ratel/ in Virginia is 9.6 (per 1,000), whereas in
Roanoke City it is 11.8. In the non-white population, however, Roanoke
City's is 42.1, compared to Virginia's rate of 19.8. Illegitimacy,
another major'indicator of negative community circumstances, is nearly
7% higher in Roanoke City's non-white population than in Virginia's non-
white population.

has provided a high-risk indicator 'report (November 12, 1986) which
ranks Roanoke City among the 41 jurisdictions in the Western Region. ·
Roanoke City ranks third, overall, in the ten areas which indicate
levels of pre-delinquent problems for youth. It ranks first in poverty
level, first in child abuse, second in delinquency petitions, third in
level I offenses, and third in youth pregnancy. When these rankings are
based on population percentages, Roanoke City ranks first on the high-
risk indicator report for the Western Region. Within the City, the
Northwest area appears to rank first in community - and high-risk
problems. -
In the fall of 1985, Mental Health Services conducted a door-to-
door community needs assessment designed to determine the Northwest
community's perception of community problems. Drug and alcohol abuse,
unemployment - the need for job opportunities and training - and the
lack of organized recreational activities were considered by those
i
ntervlewed to be the most important. When asked which prevention/
education programs were most needed, respondents listed family and
communication skills, including parent Effectiveness training, and drug
and alcohol education among major needs.
The Northwest Human Development Center, initiated by and func-
tioning under the advice of its Advisory Board of area ministers and
Community residents sensitive to area needs, has established programs
and organized resources in response to the problems and community input
identified above.
What Has the Center AccomPlished Since It Began in July of 19857
Prevention/Education Activities:
* Public Schools - The Center provided workshops and seminars for both
teachers, teacher-parent groups, and students in substance abuse, stu-
dent behavioral problems, anger management, and coping skills, at Hurt
Park Elementary, Addison Junior High, Northwest Elementary, and the
Alternative Education Program; directly served twenty-three parents and
teachers and seventy-five students.
* Northwest Community - The Center provided presentations on alcohol
and drug education, communication skills, and stress management to four
adult community meetings, directly serving between thirty-five and fifty
residents.
* Clinical Pastoral Education - (designed to provide Northwest area
ministers with classroom training and clinical placements in order to
aid them in identifying and improving their counseling and pastoral
skills); three training cycles have provided Six area ministers with 360
hours of classroom training and 720 placement hours at clinical assign-
ments. Three ministers have completed a full year of training.
* Direct Client Care: Provided by counselors assigned to the Center
from each of the three Divisions of MHS/rv (Substance Abuse, Mental
Health, and Mental Retardation). Thirty-three referrals of individuals
and/or families have been made to on-going direct client care. This
does not include residents of Northwest who were referred directly to
other programs by themselves or other agencies.
2
* Recovering Addicts - on-going for thirteen months, the group has
met weekly and has provided Over five hundred hours of mutual assistance
and support..
* Mentally Retarded - A Social Club, on-going for twelve months, has
provided recreational and informal learning activities for mentally
retarded clients. It meets weekly and has provided over seven hundred
hours of activities to a membership of fourteen; there is a waiting list
of interested participants.
* Students - (designed tO increase students' feelings of self-worth
and coping skills); has met eight times with ten to fifteen students
participating in each group session.
Recreationa'l ActivitieR - a 4 - H Club, comprised of nine community
youth, a Chess Club, comprised of ten youth and adults, and a developing
Girl Scout program provide on-going recreation/education for Northwest
young people. In addition, nearly fifty area youth have participated in
short-term summer or weekend activities.
Has the Center Involved Other Agencies in its Activities?
One of the goals of the Northwest Human Development Center
has been and continues to be the development of community resources
and the support systems responsive to area needs. Many agencies and
individuals have become involved with the Center as a result of
providing their resources. The following agencies and organizations
have provided services in the Northwest Community in concert with the
Center:

Proposal for Fiscal Year 1986-87
The Northwest Human Development Center (NWHDC) is a special project
of Mental Health Services of the Roanoke Valley (MHS/rv), and is the
result of a strong community initiative. In 198}, a group of Northwest
ministers and concerned citizens mst with representatives of MH$/rv to
devise a plan to increase the availability and accessibility of mental
health, mental retardation, and substance abuse counseling and preven-
tion services to a community which has been traditionally underserved,
Residents of the Northwest quadrant of the city have historically
been reluctant to seek assistance outside of that community; family,
friends, and church have been the major sources of aid. [he task of
creating a niche for the Center within the community has involved, as a
first phase, development of acceptance and trust for those agencies and
personnel which need to be a pa~t of the ~esource linkage system neces-
sary to address area needs. In addition, the Northwest community is
wary of agencies and organizations which begin programs only to end them
a short time later. Therefore, it has been extremely important to take
this process one step at a time in orde~ to create the proper environ-
ment.
NWHDC staff have actively promoted the development of community
linkages and community trust through development of volunteer programs,
in adddit ion to utilizing other avenues. The one full-time staff person
at the NWMOC, the Center Coordinator, has utilized community volunteers
to serve as support staff in all phases of program development while
providing direct supervision and guidance. However, as a result of the
Coordinator's resignation as of February, 1987, the NWHDC will rely
solely on volunteer workers to provide staff coverage. While this is a
less than ideal situation it would be difficult to recruit a new Coordi-
nator until the current financial uncertainty foe Fiscal year [987-88 Is
~esolved. It is imperative, however, that the Center ~emaln operational
and maintain its visibility so as not to erode the community acceptance
which has already been established.
fhereFore, in addition to the reimbursement request £oc program
expenses to date, CD86 Funds are needed to bridge the gap financially
between March l, 1987 and June 30, 1987. This would amount to
added to the $17,000 reimbursement for a total of $18,891. {Please see
attached budget.)
MHS/rv is committed to the continued provision of $4,000 in State
Alcohol General Funds, earmarked for 1987-88 Center operations. The
Coordinator and HMS/Fy administrative staff have e×ploFed a number of
other resources as well. Funding proposals have been submit ted to the
5tats Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and to ¥olun-
tests in Service to America (VISTA). Cooperative efforts with Total
Action Against Poverty, Inc. {fAR) and the Roanoke Office on Youth have
resulted in the development of jointly sponsored proposals being submit-
ted to VISTA and to the State Division of Criminal Justice Services,
respectively. In addition, the Substance Abuse Mentor (SAM) project has
been funded For $3,895 by ACTION to provide one-to-one counseling and
support for adoiescents et high risk for developing a chemical depen-
dence problem, It ia important to note that s~ccessful competition
and receipt of these funds, with the exception of the DMMHR proposal and
the SAM project, is contingent upon the existence of the NWHDC as e
fully operational facility,
An action plan outlining the proposed strategy for maintaining
operations at the NWHDC and for assuring a stable future.

Dear Bob:
The President of the United States always designates the month of March as
Red CrossMonth. It hasbeccme a tradition for our Chapter of the Red
Cross to fly the Red Cross flags in downtown Roanoke during this time.
The Roanoke Valley Chapter is always active in serving the needs of the
corn,unity in the area of health and safety, services to military families
and veterans, and in furnishing blood to the people in our c~m,unity who
need it. This year we have also started a new progr~n called Phone Friend
which is geared to help Latchkey children and their parents.
Again this year, we are asking the City of Roanoke to help honor the
thousands of volunteers that have been responsible for the work of the Red
Cross. We request permission to fly the 3' x 5' American Red Cross flags
frcm March 20 - 30, 1987. As in the past, we would like to use the flag
holders on the street l~s on Campbell Avenue, Jefferson Street, Church
Avenue, and the Market Square. We will make all the arrang~ents for
putting up and taking down the flags.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing
frcm you soon.

Dear Members of Council:
Subject: Emergency Repairs - Fire Department Ladder No. 1
I. Background:
Fire Department Ladder No. 1 is a 1968 Seagrave 100 foot
aerial ladder assigned to No. i Station in downtown Roanoke.
It is a first-line unit of the City's fire suppression equip-
ment.
On November 21, 1986, the engine blew up on this apparatus
while on a training exercise. This was the third time that
engine problems occurred with this apparatus.
Reserve apparatus was placed in service while City personnel
sought to find the best solution for repairs to this equip-
ment.
II. Current Status:
Ao
Replacement engine, comparable to the original equipment, is
no longer available. Since this vehicle has always been
underpowered, a new engine more suitable for this applica-
tion was sought.
Bo
In accordance with Section 41 of the City Charter, I have
authorized emergency repairs to Ladder No. 1 in order to
restore it to service at the earliest possible date. Work
will generally include the following items:
1. New in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine.
2. New automatic transmission (replaces manual transmis-
sion).
3. Changes in rear-axle gear ratio.
4. Other related power train improvements.
Cost of this work will be $39,200 and has been negotiated
with Southwest Diesel, Inc., a local firm which specializes
in engine and transmission repairs on trucks and heavy
equipment.
Members of Council
March 9, 1987
Page 2
10 - 15 years Extended Life for this vehicle should result
from these expenditures. Replacement cost is estimated at
$300,000 - $350,000. The existing equipment has recently
been painted and is in otherwise good condition.
III. Recommendation:
A. City Council concur in the emergency action which has already
been initiated to repair Fire Department Ladder No. 1.

FROM: K% B. ~ise~--'and M. Craig Sluss nC J
Subject: Rental Rate Increase, Jerry L. Routt Lease, house
at Sun Valley Swim Club
I. Background:
The City of Roanoke acquired certain properties in 1976 for the
proposed Back Creek water impoundment site which included a small
yellow stucco house located next to the Sun Valley Swim Club.
The Water Resources Committee and the City Council on March 14,
1977 agreed to continue the current lease of the house with Mr. Jerry
L. Routt at $125.00 per month with utilities by Mr. Routt and mainte-
nance by the City. Mr. Routt had occupied the house for the previous
twelve years.
C. The lease with Mr. and Mrs. Routt was completed on May 4, 1977 with
commencement on May 1, 1977 for a twelve month period with thirty
day notice by either party. In the event no such notice is given by
either party, then the lease continues in force from year to year at
the same annual rental and subject to all the terms, conditions, and
covenants contained therein.
The purpose of the lease was to preserve the value of the asset,
lessen risk of vandalism and generate some revenue for the water
fund until the dam was constructed.
II. Current Situation:
Ao
The Back Creek Reservoir project has been put on hold in favor of
an alternate water supply project. The City of Roanoke intends to
retain ownership of these impoundment site properties until the
problem of an adequate water supply has been solved.
The Routt lease has been in effect for almost 10 years without any
increases in the rental rate while inflation has increased 66.8%
in the same time period.
C. The maintenance cost on the house has been over $6,000.00 during the
period of the lease.
Page 2
A rental rate increase of $50.00 a month is needed to maintain the
status quo on costs and rent comparability of properties in the
Valley.
III. Issues in order of consideration are:
A. Maintenance costs
B. Rental comparability
C. Timing
IV. Alternatives:
Ao
The City raise the rental rate to $175.00 per month for the yellow
stucco house leased to Mr. and Mrs. Jerry L. Routt at Sun Valley
Swim Club to be effective on May 1, 1987.
1. Maintenance costs will help to be covered by this increase.
2. Rental comparability will be assisted by this increase.
3. Timin~ of the increase will occur on the anniversary of the
lease.
B. The City not raise the rental rat~ for the yellow stucco house
leased to Mr. and Mrs. Jerry L. Routt at Sun Valley Swim Club.
1. Maintenance costs will not be helped by this action.
2. Rental comparability will not be achieved by this action.
3. Timin~ will be mute by this action.
Recommendation:
Water Resources Committee and City Council concur in Alternative "A"
and direct the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the lease with
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry L. Routt to cover an increase in the rental rate to
$175.00 per month effective on May 1, 1987.

Subject: Sewage Treatment Plant Allocation of Capacities
I. Background:
Ao
1972 sewage treatment contracts between the City and each of
the other Roanoke Valley Governments provided an initial ca-
pacity allocation at the Sewage Treatment Plant and requires
a meeting every three years to review those allocations.
B. Attached letter of January 12, 1987 provides information on
current capacities and flows.
Capacity allocation meeting was held on February 2, 1987 with
representatives of all parties to the 1972 sewage treatment
contracts.
D. Items discussed were:
1. Sewage Treatment Plant capacity allocations.
2. Sewer interceptor allocation - City Council Ordinance
No. 24412, dated November 20, 1978, was re-distributed.
Request of the State Water Control Board (SWCB) for
the City to provide flow monitoring information on
the major interceptors with emphasis on the lower
segment of the Tinker Creek Interceptor.
Conclusions were:
A. Sewage Plant allocation - No recommended changes from the cur-
rent capacity allocations of:
City of Salem
Roanoke County
Botetourt County
Town of Vinton
6.65 million gallons per day
9.00 million gallons per day
1.90 million gallons per day
1.62 million gallons per day
.Page 2
Sewer interceptor allocations - The need to minimize infiltration
and inflow and the fact that major expenditures for interceptors
will be needed in the foreseeable future were acknowledged by
those present.
Co
Information to the SWCB would be provided by the City of Roanoke
under a program established in 1980 but temporarily halted during
the recovery efforts of the Flood of November 1985.
III. Recommendation: Council make no changes in the sewage capacity allo-
cations and receive and file this report.

Subject: Old Kroger Property - Declaration of Surplus
Property - Supplemental Report
I. Background:
A. Report on subject matter was considered by the Committee on
February 23, 1987. (See attached).
Declaration of property as surplus for sale except for reser-
vation of unidentified strip for Fifth Street widening was
the staff recommendation.
Co
Staff verbally reported during the meeting that the stipu-
lation regarding reservation of a strip for Fifth Street
widening could perhaps be deleted. I advised I would get
additional information on the matter.
II. Current Situation:
A. Committee voted to refer the matter to Council for consider-
ation during Council's March 9, 1987 meeting.
Fifth Street widening has not been designed nor do we know
when it will be designed by the Virginia Department of High-
ways and Transportation (VDH&T).
Reservation of an unidentified stri~ or a strip inclusive of
a building face could likely jeopardize the marketability of
the property.
Acquisition of real property for a future VDH&T project would
be eligible for funding at project expense, which is typically
5S local funds.
III. Revised Recommendation:
Declare all of the main property, official tax map Nos. 1111305,
1111307, 1111310, 1111312, 1111315, and 1111316 as surplus and
market the property under open listings for sale as a single
property.

Retain the residual property across Salem Avenue~ S.W.,
identified as Official Tax Map No. 1110713, since this
property is currently vacant and may well be needed for
bridge abutments or contractor staging area for a future
Fifth Street project. This property could be leased on
a short re-call option should a buyer of the main pro-
perty need the lot for parking, storage, etc.
This revised recommendation will be added to the package of material
being presented to City Council on March 9, 1987.

Subject: Classification of Kroger Bakery Building as Surplus
City Property
I. Background:
City of Roanoke was offered, and has accepted, the gift of the
recently vacated Kroger Bakery Facility located on Norfolk
Avenue at 5th Street. The site includes a group of parcels
totaling 2.62 acres (114,113 sq. ft.) south of Norfolk Avenue.
The building complex includes 2 separate structures of 72,160
and 17,340 square feet.
Appropriate uses of the building and sitP include: storage or
warehouse use by either City of Roanoke or private sector users;
resale for use as a manufacturing or warehousing facility; and,
if the buildings or some portion of the buildings were demolished,
additional downtown parking. Surrounding land uses are primarily
industrial or commercial.
Use of the buildin9 by the City of Roanokn as a storage facility
would provide limited benefits as the amount of space needed
(based on an informal survey of City departments) comprises only
a small percentage of the facility's total floorspace. Remaining
portions of the complex would have to be put to some alternative
use. The site also has limited value as additional parking due
to its relative distance from the downtown core. Resale of the
building, and the use of the sale proceeds in a higher oriority
use appears justified.
II. Issues:
A. Timing
B. Opportunity Costs
C. Economic Development Potential
III. Alternatives:
Recommend to City Council that it authorize the sale of thP
Kroger BakerS facility, comprised of tax map parcel numbers
11-I305, 1307, 1310, 1312, 1315, 1316, retaining the right

of re-acquisition, at no cost to the City for a potentially
future needed strip for 5th Street widening.
Timin9 of the disposition of the property is important
as the costs of maintaining the building can be kept to
a minimum, and the property's value to a maximum, with
as rapid a sale as possible.
Opportunits costs will not be incurred as funds will be
available for higher priority uses or projects.
Economic development potential will be enhanced by the
sale to the private sector by potentially providing more
jobs and return the property to the tax rolls.
Do not recommend to City Council to authorize the sale of the
Kroger Bakery facility.
1. Timin9 of the property's use would be delayed potentially
causing the value of the property to decline.
2. Opportunits costs of alternative, more productive use of
funds in other higher priority projects would be incurred.
3. Economic development potential would not be reached.
Recommendation: ~t is recommended that the Water Resources CommitteP
recommend to C~it~ Council the declaration of the propertS as surplu~
to the City needs in accordance with Alternative "A" with the stipu-
lation that the property be marketed for sale as an entire unit.
