General Obligation bond funding of $400,000 is also needed to replenish the amount of Series 2004B bonds allocated to the William Fleming Project when the Patrick Henry High School Project commenced. When the Series 20048 bonds were issued, those funds were transferred to the William Fleming project to allow for initial planning and design expenditures. As a result, the total of general obligation bonds to be requested for high school projects is $48,750,000. The Schools intend to present bids for approval to award contracts at the June 12, 2007, School Board meeting. According to school representatives, since only a minor portion of the William Fleming project will be phased, the vast majority of contracts for Honorable Mayor and Members of Council April 16, 2007 Page 2 the project must be awarded at the project's commencement in June. In order to award a contract for the construction of the contracts, funds must be appropriated. Prior to appropriation of the anticipated bond proceeds, City Council approval is needed of a resolution to authorize issuance of the general obligation public improvement bonds. This will require a public hearing. Recommendation: In accordance with Section 15.2- 2606.A of the Code of Virginia, 1950, City Council authorize a public hearing on the issuance of $48,750,000 general obligation public improvement bonds to be held on May 21, 2007.

Services to youth will be provided through a Transition Care Specialist position under the supervision of Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare and the grant management team. The three main focus areas of the grant services are increased family involvement, improved discharge planning, and improved aftercare services. Estimated outcomes of the grant for each locality include reduced lengths of stay in costly residential treatment programs and reduced recidivism of residential treatment. This will most likely result in lower costs for the local CSA programs. The City of Roanoke will serve as the fiscal agent for the funds. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager or her designee to accept the $79,893 OCS grant and to execute the grant agreement and other documents from the Office of Comprehensive Services necessary to accept such funds. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish revenue estimates totaling $79,893 in the Grant Fund and appropriate funding in the same amount to the professional services expenditure account (35- 630 - 5098 - 2010).

The area affected by tite amendment is along the Southeastern boundary of the District, on the southeastern side of Greenway Drive, and contains rowhouses. All other areas of the PUD are to remain unaflected. As the project has moved forward, a change to the Storrnwaler management facilities has provided an opportunity to revisit the concept and re- introduce a planning strategy that was removed in the early stages of Master Planning this project. As is incorporated in other areas of the project, residences are provided with alley access for vehicles whenever possible, the incorporation of alleys riot only improves the project's streetscape, but also provides the opportunity for more on- street parking within the project. As previously approved, the Master Plan calls lbr rowhouse lots along the southeastern boundary of the project to be accessed with driveways from the public street. This access allowed the rear yards to be used for stormwater management purposes in the torn of infiltration ponds and swales. The use of the swales and ponds precluded the use of the rear yards 1br an alley. Although the alley was desirable, the need for a stonnwater management area in the lower portion of the site presented a conflict. During the final design stages and early construction stages of Phase I, it became apparent that the stonnwater management facility to be installed would best serve the site if developed as totally subsurface in nature. The required storage volume was provided by large diameter underground chambers. These chambers were placed deep to provide adequate storage and address hydraulic constraints. With the placement of the chambers underground, file rear yards of the rowhouse lots are once again available for placement of an alley. The proposed alley will utilize the same geometry and function of the other alleys within the District. Alleys will be 12 -feet of pavement in a 20 -feet wide private right-of-way. The alleys, although privately maintained, will have public access and utility casements over them to allow solid waste pick -up, utility maintenance, and emergency response access. Another change precipitated as a result of experience on phase I and the addition of an alley is the size of the Rowhouses. Footprints as shown on the previously approved Development Plan are being reduced. With approval of this proposed Amendment to the PUD, the number of rowhouse dwellings will be increased from 37 to 42 within the District. The impact of the additional units is being minimized with the reduced footprints, and the increase in on- street parking opportunities. The width of the units is being reduced loom 30 -1eet to 24 -feet. The original 30 -feet wide unit was driven by the need for the street level garage entry to have an extra stair and hallway access to the basement area. -I he reduced width will make these units more consistent with the size units on the opposite side of the street. As mentioned above, the placement of an alley will allow the streetscape to he cleaned up with the reduction in the number of driveways, the relocation of the garage doors to the rear of the buildings will improve the aesthetics of the rowhouses, and with the elimination of the driveway entrances, additional on- street parking opportunities will be realizaf.

Trinkle, Vice Mayor Honorable Alfred T. Dowe, Jr., Council Member Honorable Beverly T. Fitzpatrick, Jr., Council Member Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: Consolidated Plan Amendments Regarding Funding for Mt. View Recreation Center, Hurt Park Infrastructure and New Horizons Healthcare Background: Each fiscal year, the City allocates its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds to two dozen or more activities conducted by local nonprofit agencies as well as City departments. In most cases, funds are implemented in a timely manner and provide the benefits intended. In some cases, however, changing circumstances delay implementation of planned activities, resulting in designated funds remaining on hold for extended periods. This can expose the City to the possible recouping of excess unexpended funds by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Moreover, while on hold, funds remain unavailable to assist other important community needs. This Council letter addresses three activities for which funds have been on hold for extended periods. • In July 2004, the City allocated $100,000 of its CDBG funding to assist the Harrison Museum of African - American Culture with its facilities needs. Changes in the sites being considered by the Museum have resulted in these funds being on hold since that time. • In July 2005, the City allocated $608,500 in CDBG funds to a contract with the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) for acquisition of Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 Page 2 a 15-unit apartment building and five parcels on Cherry:Avenue, NW. Four of the five parcels have been acquired: however, the apartment building has not been available at a reasonable price. Consequently, at least $550,000 of this funding is continuing on hold. • For the 2006 -2007 period, the City allocated $41,875 for expansion of the New Horizons Healthcare (formerly Kuumba Community Health and Wellness Center) facility. Since allocating the funds, New Horizons Healthcare has moved to a new location at Valley View Mall and has requested use of the funds for exam room equipment and client management software needed to enhance and increase its services to the community. Regarding the Harrison Museum and Cherry Avenue activities, while these remain on hold there are needs for approximately $350,000 to assist the repair of the roof at the Mt. View Recreation Center and $1 million for infrastructure improvements in public rights -of -way associated with the Hurt Park public housing project. Since both are CDBG - eligible activities, the City desires to obtain much of the needed financing from the CDBG funds currently on hold for the Harrison Museum and Cherry Avenue. An additional $700,000 for the Hurt Park infrastructure needs is tentatively included among the CDBG activities to be funded as part of the City's 2007 -2008 Consolidated Plan Annual Update, which is scheduled to come before Council for approval at the May 14, 2007, meeting. Regarding the New Horizons Healthcare funding, the City supports the requested change in the use from facilities development to direct provision of services and believes this would benefit New Horizon Healthcare, its clients and the community. Considerations: The Mt. View Recreation Center, Hurt Park infrastructure improvements and New Horizons Healthcare activities are ready to proceed: therefore, these uses address important community needs while helping to avoid compliance issues regarding underexpenditures. However, though the City desires to reallocate the funds on hold for the Harrison Museum and Cherry Avenue activities, it is not abandoning its commitment to these activities. Both will remain open in the City's Consolidated Plan, retaining the ability to receive funding in the future, when activity is possible, and both have been listed as tentative funding commitments against future CDBG funds. In the case of New Horizons Healthcare, the existing funds are remaining in place and only the use is changing. In order to effect the necessary funding transfers, add the Mt. View Recreation Center and Hurt Park infrastructure activities, and change the funding use for New Horizons Healthcare, the City's HUD Consolidated Plan must be amended. This requires a 30 -day public review and Council action before the amendments can be implemented. A legal notice appeared in the Roanoke Times on March 16, 2007, Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 Page 3 to begin the public comment period, which is to end today. No objections to these actions have been received to date. In the event that no compelling objections are received, the actions recommended in this Council letter will be implemented upon the expiration of the comment period. Since the Cherry Avenue acquisition funding is obligated to a contract with the RRHA funded with CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, this contract must also be amended as part of the actions being undertaken through this report. However, authorization for the City Manager to enter into a new contract with the RRHA for the Hurt Park infrastructure funds will be submitted to Council under a separate letter planned for the May 7, 2007, meeting. Recommended Actions: Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the 2004 -2005 CDBG /HOME Agreement with the RRHA, similar in form and content to the draft attached to this report, and approved as to form by the City Attorney. Authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary amendments to the City's HUD Consolidated Plan regarding the Harrison Museum, Cherry Avenue, New Horizons Healthcare, Mt. View Recreation Center and Hurt Park infrastructure improvements activities. Respectfully submitted, f t�.l.�l err✓ Darlene L. Bur am City Manager Attachments: 1 c: Stephanie M.

Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: Library Facilities Project Implementation of Individual Projects Background: Improvements to the Library system were identified in the Comprehensive Library Study that was adopted into the City of Roanoke's Comprehensive Plan and approved by City Council on December 19, 2005. On April 17, 2006, Council authorized by Ordinance 3 73 74 - 041 706 the appropriation of $5.59 million for Library Facilities Project. Approximately $436,000 has been expended, or will shortly be encumbered, for architectural- engineering fees, surveys, and other miscellaneous work to include pre- design, programming and preparation of "as- built" drawings. Considerations: The Library's planning consultant, working in concert with the project steering committee, has developed a strategy to implement the first phase of the Library Facilities Project. That strategy, which-proposes .a series of smaller projects, has been presented to and approved by the Library Advisory Board. A brief synopsis of those individual projects follows: • Renovate and expand the existing Jackson Park Branch Library. • Renovate and expand the existing Gainsboro Branch Library. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 Page 2 of 2 • Identify a location for a new full services ( "super ") branch library, develop the conceptual plans for that facility, and purchase the land required for the new branch. • Identify a location for a new a "storefront" type facility, renovate that facility, and relocate an existing branch into the new storefront facility. • Develop the design for a free - standing electronic "kiosk" unit that would incorporate a computer console, printer, and telephone, along with a book return and book lockers, and locate one unit in a retail shopping facility, a second unit in the Garden City community. Recommended Action: Transfer funding from Account #08- 650 -9746, titled Library Facilities Project, to the following new project accounts to be established by the Director of Finance: • $1,296,000 to Capital Project Account entitled "Renovation and Expansion of Jackson Park Branch Library." • $1,080,400 to Capital Project Account entitled "Renovation and Expansion of Gainsboro Branch Library." • $1,036,300 to Capital Project Account entitled "New Full Services Branch Library." • $1,634,000 to Capital Project Account entitled "New 'Storefront' Branch Library." • $57,400 to Capital Project Account entitled "New Multi- Services Electronic Kiosks." • $49,900 to Capital Project Account untitled "New Multi- Services Electronic Kiosks, Garden City." Funding for design and construction of the proposed full services branch library is to be allocated as part of the next phase of Library improvements.

Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: EPA Brownfield Job Training Grant Acceptance Background: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers a Brownfield Redevelopment Program that annually awards grants to states, tribal authorities, and local governments. EPA has announced an award to the City of Roanoke for a grant in the amount of $173,263 to fund a job training program. The program will target potential workers in neighborhoods impacted by brownfield sites for training as environmental technicians. If there is an insufficient response from potential workers in the targeted areas, the program may be expanded to seek potential workers outside the targeted areas. The City plans to administer the grant while passing through funding by a subgrant agreement with Virginia Western Community College (anticipated amount of $143,000) and one with Total Action Against Poverty (anticipated amount of $30,236) to develop and implement the program. This grant does not require a local match and builds on the City's brownfield program work that has been previously funded by EPA Brownfield Assessment Grants. The grant will fund the program for a two -year period. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 .Page 2 Considerations: City Council action is needed to formally accept and appropriate this grant to fund a job training program and to allow the City to establish subgrant agreements with Virginia Western Community College and Total Action Against Poverty, as noted above, or other entities as may be required for the program. Based on demand, Virginia Western may continue this course offering past the two -year grant period. Recommended Action: Accept the grant as described above and authorize the City Manager to execute any required grant agreements or documents, such to be approved as to form by the City Attorney, and to take any necessary actions to receive, implement, and administer such grant. Authorize the City Manager to execute subgrant agreements, approved to form by the City attorney, with Virginia Western Community College, Total Action Against Poverty, and any other entity as may be needed to develop and implement the job training program. Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in the amount of $173,263 and to appropriate funding of the same to accounts to be established by the Director of Finance in the Grant Fund.

Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: April 16, 2007 Subject: Request from Donna S. Clark, Manager, Freeway Partners, LLC, represented by Edward A. Natt, Esq., to amend a proffered condition on the property located at 3550 Ferncliff Avenue, N.W., Official Tax No. 6450101, to proffer that the site will be developed in substantial conformity with the development plan showing a 55,000 s.f. building, parking spaces not to exceed 125 and a finished floor elevation of 1,092 feet. Planning Commission Action: Planning Commission public hearing was held on Thursday, February 15, 2007. By a vote of 0 -6 (Mr. Rife absent), the motion to amend the proffered conditions failed. Subsequent to the Commission's vote, the applicant, through its attorney, filed Amended Application No. 3 on March 20, 2007. Background: On December 1, 1997, at the request of Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., City Council amended conditions on properties identified as Official Tax Nos. 6450101, 6450118 and 6450117 and zoned C -2, General Commercial District, with conditions (Ordinance 33659- 120197). This amendment was in conjunction with the rezoning of Official Tax Nos. 6440117, 6440118 and 6440119, also by Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., from RM -2, Residential Multifamily District, to C -2, General Commercial District, with conditions (Ordinance No. 33658 - 120197) for the construction of a building supplies and materials store. All parcels, whether proffers were amended or the zoning designations were changed, in 1997 were made subject to the same proffered conditions. As part of the comprehensive rezoning adopted by City Council on December 5, 2005, the subject properties were rezoned from C -2, General Commercial District, with conditions to CLS, Commercial Large Site District, with conditions. One of the conditions adopted with the proffer amendment was a development plan which would require the current applicant to construct a 24,000 square foot building with a 206 space parking lot on an out - parcel of Home Depot. The applicant is requesting that the proffers as they apply to Official Tax No. 6450101 be amended to permit the construction of a 55,000 square foot building with a 200 space parking lot to accommodate a large showroom and product storage area for a furniture and appliance store. At staff's request, conditions originally proffered by the applicant, which are now regulated by the City's Zoning Ordinance, have been removed or amended. The application was filed on December 28, 2006. A first amended application was filed on January 30, 2007, and a second amended application was filed on February 9, 2007, to address specific staff comments. Considerations: Proffered Conditions to be Repealed and Adopted The applicant requests that all proffers as they relate to Official Tax No. 6450101 be repealed as enacted by Ordinance No. 33659 - 120197 and set forth in Ordinance No. 33658- 120197. In their place, the applicant requests that the following proffers be adopted as they relate to Official Tax No. 6450101. 1. The site will be developed in substantial conformity with the Development Plan entitled, "Schewels Furniture Store, Hershberger Site" dated December 28, 2006, and prepared by Lumsden Associates, P.C., attached as "Exhibit'A'." 2. The exterior treatment of all buildings on the property shall have consistent use of architectural detail and materials on all four sides of the building. 3. The following shall be the only permitted uses on Official Tax No. 6450101: a. Retail sales establishment. b. Eating establishment. c. Eating and drinking establishment. d. Entertainment establishment. e. Financial institution. f. General or professional office. 4. There will be no more than a total of two (2) ingress /egress points on Ferncliff Avenue for the subject property. Each point of ingress /egress shall be separated by at least 440 feet from other points of ingress /egress. 5. Development of the Schewels Furniture Store and Future Development as identified on the Development Plan attached as Exhibit B, in addition to Retail Building A and the 0.98 Out - Parcel as identified on the Development Plan adopted by Ordinance No. 33658- 120197 entitled 'The Home Depot Roanoke, VA, Hershberger Road and Ferncliff Ave.', last revised November 7, 1997 and prepared by Greenberg Farrow Architecture Incorporated attached as Exhibit B, shall be permitted from a traffic standpoint provided the total square footage of development of the property does not exceed 135, 500 square feet. In the event development of the Property exceeds 135,500 square feet, no such additional development shall be permitted until such time as the Petitioner, its successors and assigns, have satisfied the requirements of the City Traffic Engineer and the Virginia Department of Transportation for all road improvements required by such additional development. Surrounding Zoning Districts and Land Uses The subject property is located in the Miller Court/Arrow Wood Neighborhood at the intersection of Ferncliff Avenue N.W. and Ferndale Drive N.W. The subject property is currently zoned CLS(c) and is vacant. Immediately surrounding zoning and land use is as follows: • CLS & CG, Commercial -Large Site District and General- Commercial District with conditions, extends to the south of the subject property and contains the Home Depot and associated out - parcels. These properties were a part of the original rezoning (Ordinance Nos. 33659- 120197 and 33658- 120197) and are still subject to the proffered conditions. • CLS, Commercial -Large Site District, is located across Ferncliff Avenue to the north of the subject property and contains retail establishments such as the Burlington Coat Factory. • INPUD, Institutional Planned Unit Development District, is located across Ferncliff Avenue to the north of the subject property and contains William Fleming High School and William Ruffner Middle School. • RMF, Residential Multifamily District, is located to the west of the subject property and contains an apartment complex. ComDliance with the Zonina Ordinance While the proposed development plan meets the applicable dimensional and parking regulations for the CLS District and 'Retail Sales Establishments' set forth in the City's Zoning Ordinance, many components far exceed the established minimum standards. For example, the minimum parking requirement for the retail sales of large items is forty (40) spaces. The applicant is proposing a total of 200 spaces, a number that surpasses the minimum standard by 500 percent. Maximum off - street parking requirements are not applicable for this use type. The proposed development plan will be subject to all landscaping requirements as set forth in Sections 36.2 -640 through 36.2 -649 of the City's Zoning Ordinance during the comprehensive plan review process. Compatibility with the Comprehensive and Neighborhood Plans The original development plan associated with Ordinance No. 33659 - 120197 was prior to the adoption of the current Comprehensive Plan and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan. Many components of the development plan that were permitted in 1997 are not in conformity with the City's current planning documents. Vision 2001- 2020, the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan do encourage commercial development on this site, but in manner that improves the aesthetics of the neighborhood. The proposed development plan is consistent with the typical form of regional commercial centers — big sites, deep setbacks and large surface lots. However, design principles specified in the Vision 2001 -2020 and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan focus on maximizing the development of commercial sites through reduced parking located to the side or rear of structures, increased lot coverage, and parcels developed along and oriented toward street frontages. The following policies from Vision 2001 -2020 and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan are relevant in the consideration of the current application. • Vision 2001 -2020: • EC P4: Environmental Quality. Roanoke will protect the environment and ensure quality air and water for citizens of the region. Storm water management will be addressed on a regional as well as a local level. (Note: EC Al 3. Limit the amount of impervious surfaces to reduce runoff & EC A15. Ensure integrity of the storm and wastewater systems.) • ED P6. Commercial Development. Roanoke will encourage commercial development in appropriate areas (i.e. key intersections and centers) of Roanoke to serve the needs to citizens and visitors. • IN P4. Parking. Roanoke will encourage on- street parking wherever possible and discourage excessive surface parking lots. Maximum parking standards for development outside of downtown will be established. Off - street parking will be encouraged to the side or rear of buildings. • Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan: • Economic Development Policies • Encourage redevelopment of vacant and underused commercial property before allowing new commercial zoning. • Encourage good relationships between commercial and residential development through thoughtful site and building design, landscaping, and transitional uses. • Orient new commercial development to the street and use shared parking whenever possible. • Policies Specific to the Ferncliff Avenue (Burlington Coat Factory /Home Depot) area • Creative use of shared parking and public transportation access should be incorporated into projects. • New retail establishments should be street and pedestrian- oriented. • Parking should be provided on street and in the rear of structures. The Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan identified future land use of the subject property as a regional commercial center. 4 Planning Commission Discussion The discussion at the City Planning Commission public hearing primarily centered on the number of proposed parking spaces in relation to deed restrictions imposed by Home Depot: • The Planning Commission asked why Home Depot had placed restrictions on the property in regards to finished floor elevation and parking. The applicant responded that Home Depot did not want any other building obstructing their visibility and that they did not want customers of other stores using their parking lot. • When asked by the Commission, the applicant stated that the company would normally have approximately 75 parking spaces for a facility of this size. • The Planning Commission asked for the number of parking spaces at the proposed Home Depot on Franklin Road and the existing Home Depot on Hershberger Road. Staff said that the new location on Franklin Road contains approximately 427 spaces while the Hershberger Road site contains approximately 612 spaces. The Planning Commission questioned why Home Depot was concerned about overflow parking from surrounding businesses into a 612 space parking lot, but was building another store with only 427 spaces. • The Planning Commission asked what the grade of the site was and if the site was currently paved. The applicant responded that Ferncliff Avenue was 12 feet higher than the center of the site. Staff responded that it was not paved. • The Planning Commission asked if any other paving material besides asphalt was considered. The applicant responded that it had been considered and there was concern over the maintenance of such material. They said that if an alternative material was used that they would prefer porous asphalt, but that it would ultimately be determined by Home Depot. • The Planning Commission asked the applicant if they would like a continuance to allow them to renegotiate with the Home Depot. The applicant said they felt it would not make a difference. • The Planning Commission stated that they had a strong concern about the precedence that the Commission would be setting if they voted on something because of what was contained in deed restrictions. They stated that the Planning Commission should not acquiesce to that sort of thinking. There were no comments from the audience during the public hearing. Recommendation of the Planning Commission: By a vote of 0 -6, the Planning Commission did not recommend approval of the request as set forth in Amended Application No. 2. While the retail related uses are appropriate, the development plan did not take advantage of minimum parking standards that would improve the design of the site and bring it into compliance with the policies and recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan. The applicant needs to consider incorporating the following into their development plan: • Creating a relationship between the building and Ferncliff Avenue or Ferndale Drive through orientation, setback, and the placement of parking in appropriate locations, and • Scaling back parking by reducing the number of spaces provided to a number more in keeping with the likely demand for such a use and which more closely relate to parking minimums and maximums as provided under the Zoning Ordinance. Subsequent Amended Application: In response to the Commission's recommendations at the February 15, 2007, public hearing, Freeway Partners, LLC, filed Amended Application No. 3, on March 20, 2007. In the third amended application, a significant number of parking spaces (75) has been removed from the proffered site plan and the use of a pervious pavement system has been identified for a section of the remaining parking lot. In addition, the location and orientation of proposed parking has been modified to de- emphasize the amount of parking located adjacent to Ferncliff Avenue and Ferndale Drive. These proffered modifications directly address staff comments made to the applicant prior to the City Planning Commission public hearing and comments of the Commission at their February 15`h public hearing. On this basis, the City Council should approve this request for amendment of proffered conditions as contained in Amended Application No. 3. Respectfully submitted, R.

It is my understanding that the matter was heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting held on February 15, 2007. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the request and the matter has been forwarded to your office for advertisement of a public hearing before City Council. My client respectfully requests that the matter not be advertised for public hearing before City Council in March but, rather, that it be carried over until the April meeting of City Council.

Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: April 16, 2007 Subject: Request from Alan L. Amos, Inc., represented by Daniel F. Layman, Jr., Esq., that four tracts of land located on Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., identified as Official Tax Nos. 3042114, 3042115, 3042116 and 3042117, be rezoned from RM -1, Residential Mixed Density District, to 1 -1, Industrial District, for the purpose of constructing a maintenance shop to serve trucks and heavy equipment used in its business. Planning Commission Action: Planning Commission public hearing was held on Thursday, March 15, 2007. The Commission, by a vote of 6 -0 (Mr. Williams absent), recommended that City Council approve the requested rezoning. Background: The applicant, Alan L. Amos, Inc., is requesting a rezoning of property identified Official Tax Nos. 3042114, 3042115, 3052116 and 3042117, located at the intersection of Pocahontas Avenue N.E., and 11`i' Street N.E., in the Hollins Neighborhood. The 0.78 acre property is currently zoned RM -1, Residential Mixed Density District and is vacant of structures. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to 1 -1, Light Industrial District with conditions, to combine five lots (Official Tax Nos. 3042114 through 3042118) to construct a motor vehicle repair /service establishment to maintain trucks and heavy equipment used in his demolition /grading business located at 915 Pocahontas Avenue, N.E. Official Tax No. 3042118 is already zoned 1 -1, Light Industrial District. The building 1 would be located below the grade of Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., oriented towards and accessed from 11th Street, N.E. Parking would be located to the rear of the building and vegetative buffers would be planted along the rear property line and Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., to provide screening for neighboring residents. The Application to Rezone was filed on January 30, 2007, with a first amended application filed on February 22, 2007 to address specific staff comment. Considerations Surrounding Zoning Districts and Land Uses The subject properties are located in the Hollins Neighborhood and are zoned RM -1. The properties are surrounded by a mix of residential, commercial and industrial development as follows: RM -1, Residential Mixed Density District: Single family residential dwellings lie to the north of the subject property. To the west are two single family dwellings (one vacant) interspersed with vacant lots (all are owned by the applicant). 1 -1, Light Industrial District: Two vacant lots and restaurant lie to the south of the subject properties. A vacant garage lies to the east and is part of the development plan proffered with this application. Across 11 th Street, N.E., to the east is a trucking business. Conditions Proffered by the Applicant Pursuant to Section 36.2- 541(c)(1), Alan L. Amos, Inc. hereby voluntarily proffers the following conditions which shall be applicable to the property, if rezoned: 1) The property shall be used only as a motor vehicle repair or service establishment. 2) The parcels which comprise the property, identified by City of Roanoke Official Tax Nos. 3042114, 3042115, 3042116, and 3042117, together with the lot adjoining them on the east, bearing Official Tax No. 3042118, shall, prior to development of the property, be combined into a single parcel by plat of combination submitted to and approved by the City of Roanoke. 3) The property will be developed in accordance with the concept plan prepared by Caldwell White Associates, dated February 21, 2007, and filed with this application, including specifically, but without limitation, the location of the building, access point and parking spaces, and the design of the 8 -foot wide buffer yard along Pocahontas Avenue, subject to such 2 changes as may be required by the City of Roanoke during the Comprehensive Plan review. Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance The proffered conditions associated with the request further the intent of this District's regulations to protect neighboring residential districts and uses. The development of this parcel will be required to meet the regulations of the City's Zoning Ordinance, including district requirements, supplemental regulations for motor vehicle repair /service establishments and all development standards for lighting, landscaping, parking and signage. Furthermore, the applicant has gone beyond the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance by providing an eight (8) foot landscaped buffer yard along Pocahontas Avenue, N.E. , which will include one evergreen tree per fifteen (15) feet and one evergreen shrub per five (5) feet to screen the repair shop from nearby residents. Staff is concerned that the spacing proposed between the evergreen trees may not provide sufficient screening in a reasonable timeframe. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive and Neighborhood Plans The City's Comprehensive Plan, Vision 2001 -2020, and the Hollins/Wildwood Area Plan emphasize the need to utilize vacant sites within the City while protecting adjoining properties from encroachment by unsympathetic growth. While these parcels are identified for future residential development, their location and topography have made it difficult for this land use to be realized. This particular section of the Hollins neighborhood is boxed in between numerous industrial uses including warehouse and trucking establishments, in addition to the applicant's grading /demolition business. As stated before, to minimize disruption of surrounding residents, the applicant is proposing to reduce the grade below Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., plant a buffer yard along property lines abutting residential zoning districts, provide access from 11th Street, N.E., and use the property to service the applicant's vehicles and equipment only. Staff is concerned that traffic along Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., will increase due to the applicant's trucks and equipment accessing the maintenance shop from the primary business located at the corner of Pocahontas Avenue, N.E., and Hollins Road, N.E. The following policies and recommendations from Vision 2001 -2020 and the Hollins/Wildwood Area Plan are relevant in the consideration of this application. Vision 2001 -2020: • ED P5. Industrial Development. Underutilized and vacant industrial sites will be evaluated and redevelopment encouraged. (Note ED A18 and ED A33 which state that underutilized industrial sites should be identified and redeveloped especially in the Plantation and Hollins Road area.) Hollins/Wildwood Area Plan: • Economic Development Recommendation 3 • Industrial uses should have sufficient land to operate, and have minimal impact on adjoining properties. • Commercial and residential districts should be clearly delineated with the intensity of uses minimized in some areas. The following design principles specified in the Vision 2001 -2020 are relevant in the consideration of the current application. Parking is located to the rear of the building and spaces have been kept to the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance. The building is oriented towards 11`h Street, N.E., creating a feeling of enclosure. The future land use plan identified the subject property's use as single /two family residential. Planning Commission Discussion The discussion at the City Planning Commission public hearing was as follows: The applicant's representative, Mr. Dan Layman, responded to staff's concern in regards to increased truck traffic on Pocahontas Avenue N.E. He stated that the street configuration would not allow trucks with equipment trailers to access the site from Pocahontas Avenue N.E., requiring his client to access his site from Orange Avenue N.E. The Planning Commission asked if the applicant was intending on vacating the ten (10) foot alley shown on the development plan. Mr. Layman stated that his client had no plans to close the alley, unless something with the site work required an additional five feet. The Planning Commission questioned if the concrete pad shown on the development plan was intended to be used for outdoor storage. Mr. Layman said that the concrete pads were to support entry ramps into the shop. Staff responded that outdoor storage was not permitted for motor vehicle repair in the district. There were no comments from the audience during the public hearing. Recommendation By a vote of 6 -0, the Commission recommended that City Council approve the request. Given the location and topographical context of the subject properties, the Commission found the application to rezone the subject property from RM -1 District to 1 -1 District with conditions to be a reasonable request. While the future land use plan of the Hollins/Wildwood Area Plan identifies these parcels for residential development, the application provides proffered conditions sufficient to protect residential uses to the north from adverse impacts. 51 Respectfully submitted, Henry Scholz, Chairman City Planning Commission cc: Darlene L.

Amos, Inc. operates a demolition/grading business, headquartered at the western end of Pocahontas Avenue, NE, near its intersection with Hollins Road. Applicant in fact owns the entire Pocahontas Avenue frontage between Hollins Road and 11`h Street, NE, including the four (4) lots located near the southwestern intersection of Pocahontas Avenue, and 11'h Street, bearing City of Roanoke Official Tax Nos. 3042114, 3042115, 3042116 and 3042117, which are the subject of this application to rezone, and also the lot immediately to their east, Tax No. 3042118, which faces I I 1 Street and is zoned 1 -1. Applicant wishes to combine these five lots and construct on them a maintenance shop to serve the trucks and heavy equipment used in its business. (2) The properties to the west, south and cast are presently zoned 1 -1 and are in active use for commercial purposes, while the property to the north is residential. The subject lots are vacant, sloping and rocky, and are now essentially waste land. The site will be graded so that the shop is situated well below the grade of Pocahontas Avenue, thus allowing development that is consistent with the type of development found on most nearby properties while being sited so as to intrude minimally, if at all, on the residential area across Pocahontas Avenue.

Amos, Inc. Application for Rezoning Property on Pocahontas Avenue, NE (Tax Parcels 3042114- 3042117) Applicant's Report (1) Applicant Alan L. Amos, Inc. operates a demolition/grading business, headquartered at the western end of Pocahontas Avenue, NE, near its intersection with Hollins Road. Applicant in fact owns the entire Pocahontas Avenue frontage between Hollins Road and 11'" Street, NE, including the four (4) lots located near the southwestern intersection of Pocahontas Avenue, and 11'" Street, bearing City of Roanoke Official Tax Nos. 3042114, 3042115, 3042116 and 3042117, which are the subject of this application to rezone, and also the lot immediately to their east, Tax No. 3042118, which faces I I' Street and is zoned I -1. Applicant wishes to combine these five lots and construct on them a maintenance shop to serve the trucks and heavy equipment used in its business. (2) The properties to the west, south and cast are presently zoned I -1 and are in active use for commercial purposes, while the property to the north is residential. The subject lots are vacant, sloping and rocky, and are now essentially waste land. The site will be cut down, pursuant to the attached grading plan, so that the shop is situated well below the grade of Pocahontas Avenue, thus allowing development that is both consistent with the type of development found on most nearby properties while being sited so as to intrude minimally, if at all, on the residential area across Pocahontas Avenue.

ATTEST: City Clerk. ^ CITY OF ROANOKE �q OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER '. Noel C. Ia\ for Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, SAN.. Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 lily l \cl: �v: t..rnanoki•va.�,w April 16, 2007 Honorable C. Nelson Harris, Mayor Honorable David B. Trinkle, Vice Mayor Honorable Beverly T. Fitzpatrick, Jr., Council Member Honorable Alfred T. Dowe, Jr., Council Member Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: Additional funding for the Department of Social Services and Comprehensive Services Act Background: The Department of Social Services has experienced an increase in demand for the following services over the past year: Fraud Free, Foster Care, Special Needs Adoption, and Purchased Services. The AFDC Foster Care and Special Needs Adoption programs are mandated by the state and provide financial assistance to foster and adoptive parents on behalf of their children. The services provided by these programs include therapeutic treatments, medical services, speech and physical therapy, and equipment purchases for children with special needs. The Comprehensive Services Act (CSA), which was established in 1993, provides out -of -home services to troubled and at -risk youth and their families through a collaborative system of state and local agencies, parents, and private sector providers. These services include mandated foster care, certain special education services, and foster care prevention. CSA also provides services to certain targeted non - mandated populations. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 Page 2 Considerations: The Department of Social Services expenditures are projected at 55,443,733 for the following programs: Fraud Free, Foster Care, Special Needs Adoption, and Purchased Services. Based on this projection, these expenditures will exceed the FY 2007 appropriation of $4,165,733 by $1,278,000. Within the category of Social Services expenditures, the Foster Care and Special Needs Adoption programs are expected to total $4,920,731 and will require no local match. Total funding is anticipated from the Commonwealth for all of these programs. The number of families requiring assistance and the cost of providing these services continues to increase. CSA expenditures are projected at $11,662,733 for FY 2007. Based on this projection, these expenditures will exceed the CSA FY 2007 appropriation of $9,062,733 by $2,600,000 and will require additional local funds in the amount of $798,720. The funding anticipated from the Commonwealth for CSA is $1,801,280. The additional funds are for mandated services for at -risk youth. CSA has experienced an increase in the number of youths requiring higher cost services. Also, because of the 2005 Federal Deficit Reduction Act, Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services reduced Medicaid reimbursement rates for treatment Foster Care case management services, effectively making localities responsible for the additional costs. To cover the local funding required for these Social Services programs, adjustments to two revenues estimates as well as several expenditure transfers are recommended. The revenue estimate for sales tax may be increased due to the fact that this local tax is experiencing strong growth in the current year and is projected to exceed the adopted estimate. A revenue estimate for the purchasing card rebate may be established in an amount approximate to the rebate received by the City in March. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance and take the following actions: Increase the revenue estimate from the Commonwealth of Virginia in the amount of $3,079,280 for Social Services programs and the Comprehensive Services Act program. Increase the revenue estimate for Sales Tax in the amount of $400,000 and establish a revenue estimate for Purchasing Card Rebate in the amount of $90,000 to cover a portion of the local share cost for the Comprehensive Services Act program. Transfer funding in the amount of $41,796 from Health Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council April 16, 2007 Page 3 Department Civic Mall Rental and $266,924 from Salary Lapse to provide the remaining local funding for the Comprehensive Services Act Program. Appropriate funding in the amount of $1,278,000 for Social Services program and $2,600,000 for the Comprehensive Services Act as detailed in Attachments A and B. Respectfully sub itted, Darlene L.

Fitzpatrick, Jr., Council Member Honorable Alfred T. Dowe, Jr., Council Member Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Brian J. Wishneff, Council Member Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council: Subject: Patrick Henry High School Gymnasium During its meeting on April 16, 2001, City Council was asked by several citizens to consider not demolishing the existing gym at Patrick Henry High School so that it could be utilized for future recreation activities of the City. Staff was asked to review this request and report back to City Council. As indicated on the attached site plan (which was part of the approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for the high school site in July, 2004 and as amended for the stadium in February, 2006), the location of the existing gym (shown in dashed lines) sits on a portion of the site for the new auxiliary gym which is to be constructed for the high school, and also sits in the middle of a proposed parking and circulation system on that part of the site immediately adjacent to the new high school football facility. Without demolishing the existing gym, over 75 surface parking spaces would be lost and vehicular / emergency access to the handicapped parking for the new football stadium would be compromised as well as adversely affecting overall pedestrian access to the football facility from other parking areas on the site. A review of the existing gym facility with school facilities personnel identified a portion of the building contains the 40+ year old utility / heating system plant utilized for the former campus buildings (far more capacity than what would be needed for the gymnasium alone): and that the building's roof is in need of significant repair and /or replacement if the facility was to be continued to be Mayor Harris and Members of City Council May 1, 2007 Page 2 used. The gym floor cannot be refinished again, and would have to be replaced. The current construction schedule calls for pre - demolition activities (asbestos removal) in the gym to commence by the middle of June, 2007 so that needed site improvements may be in place for opening of the football stadium in late August. In order for the gymnasium to remain in place, the PUD that had been previously approved, as amended, would have to again be amended through a public hearing process involving the City Planning Commission and City Council. In addition, the lost parking spaces, critical to supporting the capacity of the football stadium would have to be identified and created elsewhere on the site. The provision of sufficient parking and traffic management in support of the football stadium were key areas of concern for the adjoining neighborhood. Significant changes to the site at this point in the overall development sequence could have ramifications on the ability of all aspects of the facility to come online as previously contemplated.

CI?V...V.ITT -F ASS ', %l E'.IS COILI-0_RCE AI.0 L.,00R CJI'RIti[FJL C— FI]l: C: I1:: 'J AFC 'iEALTH i am writing to you in my capacity as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Roanoke Higher Education Authority. which operates the Roanoke I ligher Education Center, regarding the proposed increase in parking fees at the Roanoke Higher Education Center lot, the Gainsboro Garagc, and the lower Gainsboro lot and adding a fee for parking at these locations after 4PM on weekdays. Parking in the vicinity of the Roanoke Higher Education Center was an important issue when the facility was opened and remains an important issue. Member colleges and universities early on insisted that t}ee parking for students be available near the facility. As a result, the City agreed to build the Gainsboro Parking Garage and provide a surface parking lot in front of the Roanoke Higher Education Center. In addition. the Cith agreed that parking would be $.50 per hour, with a maximum of $4 per day, from 7AM to 4PM and would be free alter 4PN4 on weekdays and on weekends, when most classes are held. Free parking for students is so important that the Center has also leased parking space in other nearby lots for use by students during the day without charge. Member institutions consider free parking extremely important in attracting students to the facility. Nlany students work full time and have other responsibilities and parking fees would be 'a burden to them. The commitment to Irce parking during hours of instruction remains an important part of the relationship among the Center, its member institutions and students. Accordingly. oil behalf of the Roanoke Higher Education Authority and the member institutions, faculty. administrators and students, I would urge you not to increase parking fees and not to impose any fees after 4PM and on weekends for parking at the Gainsboro Garage, lower Gainsboro lot and the Roanoke Higher Education Center lot. Mayor C. Nelson Harris and Council Page 2 April 26. 2007 ijoin in the continents you have received from Dr. Tom McKeon, Executive Director of the Roanoke Higher Education Center.
