The City's contribution last fiscal year of $210,832 enabled much of the work for the 14 specific programs below, providing critical match funds, discretionary funds to fill unmet needs, and outright support of our programs. This year's contribution of $168,666 has allowed continuation of our efforts for those most in need. Here is an abbreviated list of these programs and their accomplishments. Educational Programs TVW's Project Recovery located and encouraged 143 school dropouts to return to school; of those, 92 reenrolled in public school or alternative education; 70 have already been helped this year. TVW's OED program helped 75 students either complete their secondary education or obtain a OED certificate; 46 have already been helped this year. TVW's Project Discovery provided college access services to 179 first generation college- bound students; and of the high school seniors in the program, 35 graduated, and 26 enrolled in higher learning institutions; 145 are in the program this year. Employment Services 14 city youth, who had been school dropouts, received a training certification indicating that they have mastered core competencies through TVW's Youthbuild construction trades program, and 7 secured employment due to their training; 43 are in the program this year, with added instruction in CNA Nursing and Building Maintenance training. 174 adults found full or part-time jobs through TVW's employment and training programs; 92 have already secured jobs during the current year. Services to the Previously Homeless TAP' s Transitional Living Center provided 24-hour daily shelter, food, clothing and supportive services (case management, life skills, and counseling) for up to 60 days to 100 homeless persons, including children, requiring transitional services within the City of Roanoke. Long-term transitional services were provided to 50 homeless participants. 14 of those adult residents who could seek work found it, and 33 of those residents moved into suitable, affordable, permanent housing; 37 have been helped by the TLC so far this year. ( over) Page 2 of 2 Services to the Previously Incarcerated Families in Transition' s VA CARES program supported 250 ex-offenders returning to the City of Roanoke. Services included housing, clothing, transportation, food, one-on-one counseling, referrals, job readiness and employment and career counseling, job readiness skills training, and 78 secured employment. 152 ex-offenders have been helped this year so far. The program also provided fatherhood skills training to at least 86 non-custodial fathers, many of whom will also participate in the VA CARES ex-offender program; 38 of those fathers (many previously unemployed) increased their child support payments by 20% overall. 63 participants have increased their skills through parent education so far this year. Services to Victims of Domestic Violence Families in Transition's Women's Resource Center provided comprehensive crisis intervention services and safety/health assessments to 115 victims and children needing emergency care due to domestic violence; and continued to provide support for 25 victims of abuse who were not ready to end abusive relationships. 50 victims have been helped so far this year. Financial Services Business SEED assisted in the formation of ten new businesses within the City of Roanoke, through provision of business technical assistance, including direct micro-loans to 6 emerging businesses. The IDA (Individual Development Account) matched-savings program assisted and trained 25 low-income City of Roanoke residents to develop assets for new home purchase, business start-up, or educational expenses. The EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) Program provided free federal and state tax return preparation assistance to 601 residents, allowing 280 to claim EITC worth $371,517 and 60 residents to claim Child Care Tax Credits worth $97526, for a total of $469,043. Economic Impact TAP is able to leverage $8.27 from every state and local dollar invested, and has an overall economic impact of at least twice its operating budget, which this year is nearly $20,000,000 - due to a significant influx of Recovery dollars - with much of that "" expenditure (at least 75%) occurring in the Roanoke area.

The City Manager, Darlene Burcham hasrequested the move because the polling place will be demolished in early 2010. Due to preliminary work that needs to be accomplished prior to demolition (e.g. asbestos removal) the National Guard Armory should not be considered for use as a voting district. (See resolution) Normally Section 24.2-306, which prohibits us from moving a polling place 60 days before an election and without prior approval from the Justice Department would be in affect. Our intent was to move the polling place in time for the May 4, 2010 General Election, and June 8, 2010 Primary, if called, however due to the current circumstances and a Primary Election to be held on March 2, 2010, we have no choice but to request expedited approval for an emergency move to another location now. Section 24.2-306, also states that notice of any adopted change in any election district, town, precinct, or polling place shall be mailed to all registered voters whose election district, town, precinct, or polling place is changed at least 15 days prior. We are requesting that this matter be brought before City Council on January 19,2010 public meeting. Although I am still required to submit for expedited approval from the Justice Department, I will have to proceed with the move as approved by the State Board of Elections. The appropriate notification for emergency expedited approval has been forwarded to the City Attorney for submission to the Department of Justice. 19: Attachment RESOLUTION CITY OF ROANOKE ELECTORAL BOARD The City of Roanoke Electoral Board voted unanimously to seek Department of Justice Approval to move the following precinct for the reason stated as follows: We have been notified by the City Manager, Darlene Burcham that Precinct #008, Jefferson #2 known as National Guard Armory will be demolished in early 2010. Due to preliminary work that needs to be accomplished prior to demolition (e.g. asbestos removal), we should not consider continued usage. Therefore, the Electoral Board has decided that it is in the best interest of the voters to move the location of the precinct temporarily to another facility that are able to meet the needs of the voters and better suited to meet the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Change From: National Guard Armory 32 Reserve Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24016 Temporary Change - To: The Roanoke City Schools Maintenance Building 250 Reserve Avenue, SW Roanoke, Virginia 24016 The polling site is located on the same street and is within the boundaries and precinct lines. Permission has been granted by Blue Ridge Independent Living who has completed an ADA survey to authorize it's compliance with current ADA standards.

Lea Gwen W. Mason Anita 1. Price Court G. Rosen David B. Trinkle The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Roanoke City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Disposition and Use of Property by Roanoke City Public Schools Backqround: The School Board has requested that the proceeds from the sale of real property used for school purposes be allocated to school capital projects. It has also been requested that Roanoke City Schools be allowed to realize the resulting benefit associated with any potential public-private partnership or other transaction concerning the use of real property used for school purposes. Such transactions can include, but not be limited to, the lease of real property, exchange of real property, or other transactions that result in a benefit or value to Roanoke City Public Schools. Considerations: Allocating the proceeds from the sale of real property used for school purposes to school capital projects, as well as allowing Roanoke City Public Schools to realize the resulting benefit associated with any public-private partnership or other transaction, can potentially mitigate the level of debt required for new school capital projects. In 1985, City Council and the School Board adopted a policy on the Release of Real Property from Educational. Use. This policy would have to be amended to address the request of the School Board. The disposal of surplus real property, as well any public- private partnership involving the use of real property owned by the City of Roanoke would continue to be subject to Council approval. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 2 Recommendation: Adopt the attached resolution approving an amended policy (copy attached) to provide for the allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of real property owned by the City of Roanoke previously used for school purposes to school capital projects as well as the resulting benefit associated with any public-private partnership involving real property owned by the City of Roanoke used for school purposes, subject to Council approval. ~ c: Stephanie M.

Criminal Justice Information Systems Committee www.dcjs.virginia.gov The purpose of Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program (JABG) program is to support state agencies and units of local government in their efforts to strengthen their juvenile justice system. The goal of the JABG program is to reduce juvenile offending through accountability-based programs focused on both the offender and the juvenile justice system. Accountability means that each offender is assured of facing individualized consequences through which he or she is made aware of and held responsible for the loss, damage, or injury perpetrated on the victim. Accountability involves a new set of expectations and demands for the juvenile justice system such as increasing capacity to develop youth competence, efficiently tracking juveniles through the system, and providing enhanced options; for restorative sanctions. Though not required, localities are encouraged to prepare a plan based on an analysis of their juvenile justice system needs. This analysis should detennine: . 1. The most effective use of the funding within 17 JABG Program Purpose Areas; 2. How to achieve the greatest impact on reducing juvenile delinquency; 3. How to improve the juvenile justice system; and 4. How to increase accountability for juvenile offenders. The 17 JABG Purpose Areas are listed on the enclosed Statement of Grant Award/Acceptance. As stated in the Special Conditions accompanying this award, prior to expending funds, a grantee must submit all required documentation as listed on the accompanying checklist. On the JABG Allocation Plan, each grantee must document the allocations to the selected JABG Purpose Area(s) prior to receiving any funds. Please refer to and read the enclosed Post Award Instructions and Reporting Requirements carefully as they contain details on processing financial and progress reports, as well as requesting awarded funds. These grant funds will be disbursed quarterly on a reimbursement basis only. Funds will only be disbursed once DCJS receives documentation of compliance with the award conditions.

In the development of their application, units of local government are required to consider the needs of the judicial branch in strengthening the juvenile justice system and specifically seek the advice of the chief of the local court, regarding the content of the application.

Grant No: IQ-L3221JB08 ' City of Roanoke Applicants should certify that they have communicated in writing with the judicial branch and should submit a letter with their application.

The grantee agrees to forward a copy of the scheduled audit of this grant award; Please forward to DCJS - Attention: FINANCE h) Pooled Funds. If applicable, a cooperative agreement signed by the city manager or county administrator from all localities wishing to pool their JABG funds together should be submitted to DCJS, DCJS will not reimburse grant funds until all the required documentation outlined above is received. Please refer to the accompanying checklist to ensure all required documentation is sl)bmitted. 5) The grantee agrees to provide to the DCJS a copy of any policies and programs that are in effect or have been implemented that provide for a system of graduated sanctions. Graduated Sanctions is a system that has as a minimum of the following: 1) Sanctions that are imposed on a juvenile offender for each delinquent offense; 2) Sanctions that escalate in intensity with subsequent, more serious delinquent offense; 3) Sufficient flexibility to allow for individualized sanctions and services suited to the individual juvenile offender; and 4) Appropriate consideration to public safety and victims of crime. The term sanction means tangible, proportional consequences that hold the juvenile offender accountable for the offense committed. A sanction may include counseling, restitution, community service, afine, supervised probation, or confinement. For grantees that do not currently have policies and programs in effect and have not implemented a system of graduated sanctions, a letter of assurance as to the steps that will be taken over the nex~ year to develop such policies and implement such a system of graduated sanctions as described above should be provided. 6) THE GRANTEE AGREES THAT NOT MORE THAN (5%) OF FUNDS RECEIVED ARE USED TO PAY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. 7) Federal funds may not exceed 90% of total program costs, including any funds that the grantee sets aside for program administration. 8) If a grantee uses funds under Pmgram Purpose Area #2 to construct a permanent juvenile detention or juvenile corrections facility, the grantee must provide at least 50% percent of the total cost of the project. The 50% match applies only to construction costs for a permanent juvenile detention or juvenile corrections facility. Construction of any other allowed facility or other provisions of Program Purpose Area #2 have the same match requirement as all other program purpose areas. There is a 10% cash match requirement for all other program purpose areas. Federal funds and match requirements do not change the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice's requirements for construction reimbursement. 9) Opportunity for Faith-Based and Other Community Organizations to Access JABG Funds by Partnering With Their Respective Units of Local Government. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 stipulates that state grantees make subgrant awards to state agencies and qualified units of local government. See 42 U.S.c. 3796ee-3(b). Therefore, faith-based and other community organizations are statutorily ineligible to apply directly to OJJDP or the state agency that administers the JABG program for funding under the JABG program. However, Section 1806 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 allows states and units of local government to contract with private, non-profit entities or community-based organizations to implement appropriate JABG purpose areas. State grantees must ensure that their units of local government subgrantees consider faith-based and other community organizations for contracts as JABG implementing agencies on the same basis as other eligible applicants. If they enter into contracts with faith-based groups, units of local government subgrantees in their administration of such contracts must treat faith-based groups on an equal basis with all other contractors. Units of local government subgrantees shall not favor nor discriminate against any eligible implementing agency based on its religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious composition of its board of directors or persons working in the organization. Faith-baseCl organizations receiving DOJ assistance funds passed through states and then through units of local government retain their independence and do not lose or have to modify their religious identity (e.g., removing religious symbols) to receive assistance awards. Faith-based groups, however, may not use DOJ grant funds for any inherently religious activity, such as prayer or worship. Inherently religious activity is permissible, although it cannot occur during an activity funded with DOJ grant funds; rather, such religious activity must be separate in time or place Grant No: 10-L3221JB08 City of Roanoke from the DOJ-funded program. Further, participation in such activity by individuals recelvmg services must be voluntary. Programs that DOJ funds may not discriminate in the provision of services based on a beneficiary's religion. If the applicant is a faith-based organization that makes hiring decisions on the basis of religious belief, it may be entitled, under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 42 U.S.C. S 2000bb, to receive federal funds and yet maintain that hiring practice, even if the law creating the funding program contains a general ban on religious discrimination in employment. For the circumstances under which this may occur, and the certifications that may be required, visit the Civil Rights Compliance link, htto://www.oio.usdoi.gov/funding/otherrequirements.htm. 10) The grantee agrees to submit such reports as requested by DCJS on fonns provided by DCJS, or through the Grants Management Infonnation System (GMIS).

No. UOOO-128-V12 UPC 790/11908 City of Roanoke Background: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has programmed a street improvement project along the 10th Street corridor between Fairfax Avenue and Williamson Road. The proposed improvements are intended to enhance the connection between Orange Avenue and Williamson Road and will focus on improving the safety and flow of traffic while developing a bicycle and pedestrian friendly environment. Considerations: VDOT and the City of Roanoke held a public hearing on July 30, 2009 to gather public comments. Additionally, VDOT and the City met with the Washington Park Alliance for Neighborhoods in October 2009. Comments received from these meetings have been considered and incorporated as appropriate or will be addressed as project development continues. The City's Street Design Team reviewed the plans and suggested revisions that have been incorporated. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council January 19, 2010 Page 2 Pertinent design features include improvements at several intersections, most significantly the addition of a westbound left turn lane on Orange Avenue at 10th Street and the removal of the traffic signal at 11 th Street and Orange Avenue; the addition of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street trees; bike lanes to accommodate on-street bicyclists; drainage improvements; and a grade separation of the Lick Run Greenway crossing of 10th Street. Right of way acquisition is currently scheduled by VDOT to begin in 2010 with construction anticipated to follow in FY2014. Total project cost is approximately $21 million for which the City will be responsible for approximately $1,000,000. The 10th Street project account currently has $381,420 budgeted from local funds which will qualify as part of the required local match. The remaining local share of funding will be provided and transferred from Capital Improvement Reserve - VDOT Match, as funds are made available annually, to the 10th Street project account #08-530-9597. Recommendation: Adopt the accompanying resolution approving the major design features of this project, requesting VDOT to acquire all rights of way necessary for this project and conveying such rights of way to the City at the appropriate time, and authorizing the City Manager to execute, on behalf of the City of Roanoke, all necessary agreements required in conjunction with the project, such agreements to be approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Amendment to City Code Section 21-78 Requiring Fingerprinting for Certain Concealed Weapons Permits Background: It has been the policy and practice of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the City of Roanoke to require applicants for concealed weapons permits to undertake fingerprinting for the purpose of obtaining a criminal history record as part of their application process. In order to ensure that the City Code is consistent with the Code of Virginia (Sections 15.2-915.3 and 18.2-308) which governs the application and issuing process for concealed weapons permits, an amendment has been prepared which authorizes the Clerk of the Court to require fingerprinting as part of the application process. Pursuant to the Code of Virginia, this fingerprinting requirement would apply only to new concealed weapons permit applications, and would not be applicable to the renewal of any such existing permits. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council January 19, 2010 Page 2 Recommended Action: Adopt an amendment to City Code Section 21-78, Carrying concealed weapons, which adds a new subsection (e) authorizing the Clerk of the Circuit Court to require applicants for ne'w concealed weapon permits to submit to fingerprinting for the purpose of obtaining the applicant's crimina'l-history.

P.O. Box 2610 Roanoke, Virginia 24010 BRENDA S. HAMILTON CLERK December 15, 2009 To: Members of Roanoke City Council Re: Fingerprinting for Concealed Weapon Permits It has come to my attention that a local ordinance needs to be enacted for fingerprinting for the purpose of obtaining a criminal history record on persons who are applying for a Concealed Weapon Permit. The Circuit Court Clerk's Manual is clear in stating that an "Applicant shall present application for the permit along with any additional requirements as necessary. As a condition for issuance of a concealed handgun permit, the applicant shall submit to fingerprinting ifrequired by local ordinance in the county or city where applicant resides..." This same language is contained in Code 18.2-308D of the Code of Virginia. It has been the policy of the Circuit Court Clerk's Office to send applicants to the Police Academy to obtain their fingerprint cards as soon as an applicant has filed to get their permit. However, without a local ordinance to enforce the requirement of fingerprinting, the Circuit Court Clerk's Office cannot require an applicant to have their fingerprints taken for a proper criminal history record as is inferred by S 15.2-915.3 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. If fingerprinting is not an official requirement pursuant to Roanoke City's Local Ordinance, the requirement cannot be enforced by the Circuit Court Clerk's Office as a part of the procedure for obtaining a Concealed Weapon Permit; and, without fingerprinting, a complete criminal history may not be obtained as welL Si~js~ B~a S.

Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Snow Removal Funding - Chemical Purchase Background: The snow event of December 18-19, 2009 resulted in snow fall of 18". The budget for snow removal activities was adopted for FY 2009-2010 at $110,280 based on historical expenditure levels. This includes $22,000 for chemicals which would provide for the purchase of approximately 300 tons. Considerations: An existing supply of chemicals was utilized in response to the December 18- 20, 2009, snow event leaving 1,000-1,500 tons of chemicals available on-site which would be sufficient for one additional snow event. Additional snowfall has occurred since December 20, 2009, for which a limited amount of the remaining chemicals was utilized. Transportation staff recommends the purchase of 3,000 tons of salt which will require additional funding of $198,230 at current price levels. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council January 19, 2010 Page 2 Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to transfer funding in the amount of $198,230 from Budget Contingency (01 -300-941 0-21 99) to the Snow Removal Budget (01-530-4140-2045) for the purchase of chemicals.

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: \ Appropriation of Fund Balance Designated for Self-Insured Claims City Code stipulates that $250,000 in General Fund balance shall be reserved annually for self-insured claims of the City. The maximum balance of the reserve is three percent of the total General Fund appropriations for the concluded fiscal year. As such, at June 30, 2009, $250,000 was reserved in the General Fund for self-insured liabilities. This amount needs to be transferred to the Risk Management Fund where the City accounts for all of its self-insured liabilities. Recommended Action: Appropriate $250,000 designated in the General Fund for self-insured claims to be transferred to the Risk Management Fund. Establish a revenue estimate of the same amount in the Risk Management Fund. Sincerely, Ann H. Shawver Director of Finance c: Darlene L. Burcham, City Manager William M.

BINGHAM, CPA Assistant Director of Finance ANN H. SHAWVER, CPA Director of Finance ANDREA F. TRENT Assistant Director of Finance January 19, 2010 Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Vice-Mayor Honorable M. Rupert Cutler, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable Anita J. Price, Council Member Honorable Court G. Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: November Financial Report - City of Roanoke The following financial report provides commentary on the City's financial results for the first five months of this fiscal year. General Fund revenues through November of FY10 are 1.9% or $1,552,000 below last year as presented in the accompanying financial statement. However, revenues in total are impacted by a revenue recognition policy change in the Charges for Services category. Adjusted for this change, total revenues are down $1,213,000 or 1.5%. Real Estate Tax collections have increased over last year and the total levy for FY10 grew 2% as a result of commercial growth and new construction. Other local taxes, most notably the local portion of the state sales tax, have continued to decline due to current economic impacts. The current expenditure budget for FY10 represents a 1.4% decrease from the budget as of November FY09 due primarily to budget reduction measures including Honorable Mayor and Members of Council I January 19, 2010 Page 2 reductions in the number of employee positions, employee benefits, and programs and services. As of November, actual expenditures are down 1.0% or $1,205,000 compared to the first five months of FY09 largely driven by decreased costs in Public Works and Parks, Recreation, and Cultural. Both positive and negative variances are discussed in the expenditure section of this narrative. Revenues: Overall revenues are lagging behind budget estimates and we expect this to continue through the current fiscal year. The current revenue shortfall for FY10 is projected at approximately $9 million compared to the adopted budget. This is a decrease of 3.5% compared to the original adopted budget and places FY10 revised revenues at 4.8% below FY09 unaudited revenues. The downward revenue adjustment is established with conservative assumptions because the City's local tax revenue declines have just slightly begun to show improvement. At this stage in the fiscal year, it is prudent to develop conservative revisions to enable the City to manage the shortfall with low risk that we will again downward adjust these estimates later this fiscal year. Some of our significant local taxes, especially the sales tax, remain below FY09 levels by significant amounts as further described in this report. These trends, coupled with funding reductions of $1.5 million announced by the Commonwealth and our expectations that some Spring taxes, such as Business License Tax and Personal Property Tax, will perform poorly, combine to produce this revised estimate. Commentaries on significant variances are shown below. General Prooertv Taxes increased 1.5% or $593,000 compared to FY09 due to growth in real estate assessments. The total levy for real estate increased 2.0% and collections so far in FY10 are ahead of FY09. Partially offsetting the increase in this category was a decline in personal property tax revenue due to lower monthly billings and higher refunds. However, the due date for the majority of FY1 0 personal property taxes is not until the second half of the fiscal year. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 3 Other Local Taxes decreased 6.7% or $1,190,000 compared to FY09. The majority of our local taxes are trending lower due to the negative impact of the national economic decline. Sales tax revenues, which began to decline in January 2009, are 17.7% lower this year through October sales. Transient Occupancy, Prepared Food and Beverage, and Telecommunications taxes have also declined compared to last fiscal year by 8.9%, 2.8% and 5.2%, respectively. Permits. Fees. and Licenses decreased 37.7% or $198,000 compared to FY09. New construction has slowed due to the declining economy, resulting in fewer permits obtained and lower permit revenues. In addition, there were several commercial permits obtained in early months of FY09'. Revenue from the Use of Monev and Prooertv fell 23.3% or $97,000 compared to FY09 due to the loss of rental income from State employees vacating space at the Commonwealth Building. Intergovernmental revenues increased 0.1 % or $18,000 over last year. Although the net increase is immaterial, there are a few increases and decreases in this category worth noting. Social services revenues increased 3.0% or $259,000 over last year due to increased day care expenditures paid by the City. This increase is mostly offset by decreases in other categorical and non categorical aid such as Rental Car tax, EMS-Four for Life, and Law Enforcement (HB 599) funding, as well as reimbursement for constitutional officers. It is important to note that this category will be further impacted by $1.5 million in Commonwealth budget reductions to constitutional officers as well as reduced funding for law enforcement, libraries, and various social services. Charges for Services decreased 14.4% or $471,000 compared to FY09 due in part to a timing difference and a change in revenue recognition policy. This change was implemented July 1, 2009. Though it impacts results in the current report, this is . not expected to alter revenue in this category for the fiscal year as a whole. Also contributing to the decline in this category is lower revenue received for housing federal prisoners (16.8%) and prisoners from other localities (57%) due to the shift of prisoners to the new regional jail that opened in March 2009. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 4 Internal Services decreased 25.6% or $252,000 due primarily to a timing difference in the receipt of payment for school playground services. The payment was received in October last year, but has not yet been received in the current year. Also contributing to the variance is a decrease in the billing of School Resource Officers due to the elimination of three positions. In addition, there was a decline in building maintenance revenues compared to FY09 when billings were made for repairs and maintenance at the Market Building. Expenditures: The fiscal year 2010 General Fund expenditure budget totals $258.0 million and includes funding of approximately $1 million to cover contracts and purchase orders made during fiscal year 2009 but not paid by the end of that year. The General Fund expenditures and encumbrances through November were $114.6 million and represent a decrease of 1.0% or approximately $1.2 million compared to FY09. It should be noted that this total variance is impacted by a large timing difference in the encumbrance of the Health Department subsidy which will be rectified in December. Adjusted for this timing issue, expenditures in total are down 2.2% or approximately $2.5 million compared to FY09. With the lower revenue outlook for FY10, several expenditure reduction strategies were implemented during the first quarter. They include the deferring of planned expenditures for fleet replacement and technology capital, a hiring freeze, and managing the budget contingency conservatively. In addition, Department Managers, Constitutional Officers, and Council Appointed Officers have been asked to develop budget reduction options of 15% to 30% of their year to date unexpended budget. The development of these plans will help define additional expenditure reductions necessary to address the revised revenue outlook, Expenditure variances are discussed in the following sections. Public Works expenditures declined 7.9% or $1.0 million due primarily to a decrease in street paving costs. FY09 costs were higher than normal due to carryover FY08 contracts. Also contributing to the decline in this category are decreases in solid Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 5 ) waste management due to higher costs in the prior fiscal year related to the purchase of solid waste containers, as well as a decline in motor fuel costs. In addition there were declines in custodial services and building maintenance costs due to planned expenditure reductions. Health and Welfare expenditures increased 9.0% or $1,448,000 over FY09 due primarily to a timing difference in the Health Department subsidy contract. This timing difference will be rectified next month, as the FY09 contract was encumbered in December. Adjusted for this timing issue, this category increased only 0.6% or $113,000 over last fiscal year. Parks. Recreation and Cultural expenditures decreased 14.3% or $773,000 from FY09. The budgeted expenditures in this category decreased 13.3% from the budgeted total in FY09. Roanoke Arts Commission expenditure reductions of 20% were planned for FY10 including the elimination of funding for the Arts Festival. Also contributing to the variance in this category is a reduction in Event Zone expenditures, program activities, supplies, and decreased advertising. Communitv Develooment expenditures decreased 9.9% or $300,000 from last fiscal year due i~ part to planned decreases in membership and affiliation appropriations. Also contributing to the variance is a decline in economic development costs due to decreased appropriations for Roanoke Sister Cities, Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Cultural Agency Marketing costs. This category also includes a timing difference related to the Regional Economic Development Agency contract as it was encumbered in total in October 2008 for FY09, but is being paid quarterly in the current fiscal year. Nondeoartmental expenditures increased 31.0% or $265,000. There was a significant increase in transfers to the Grant Fund as of November compared to the prior fiscal year. However, this variance was related to timing and overall expenditures in this category are expected to be within budget for the year. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 6 Civic Facilities Fund: . Prior year results are not fully comparable since the City and Global Spectrum accounting methods differ. Comparisons between years will focus on the Operating Income or Loss measure as well as the Change in Net Assets which provides a meaningful comparisons. The Operating Loss for FY1 ~ year to date increased by 6.0% or $59,000 when compared to FY09. When this is adjusted for VML Host City Night expenses recorded in this fund, the increase is only 4.0% _or $39,000. The Loss Before Transfers and Contributions increased 2.7% or $33,000 compared to the prior year. When adjusted for VML revenues recorded in this fund, the increased loss is only 1.1 % or $13,000. The VML expenditures not funded by the VML registration fees or donations will be covered by a transfer in January. The transfer from the Capital Projects Fund of $47,447 is for acoustical improvements at the Special Events Center. Global Spectrum management of the Civic Center operations continues to bring improvements in the quality and quantity of events. The number of November events exceeded the budget, but the November paid attendance fell short of budget. There were twenty-six events in November, bringing in 17,496 in paid attendance. The year to date paid attendance is now 69,204 The Civic Center year to date attendance is ahead of budget by 6.9% or 4,454 attendees and events are ahead of budget by 37.6% or 32 events. Parking Fund: Operating Income for the 2010 fiscal year to date reflects a decline of 26.2% or $79,000 compared to FY09. This decline was the result of a 5.1 % decrease in revenues and an increase in expenses of 3.1 %. Lancor, our management firm for the parking garages, continues marketing services to downtown businesses to improve the revenue shortfall and is working to minimize expenses. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 7 ~ A reduction of leased spaces by two major customers had a significant negative impact on revenues for Church and Tower garages. ~ Increased Operating Expense continues to be driven by higher utility costs and management fees. Equipment and building maintenance expenses have declined 9.8% as management attempts to offset declining revenues. Market Building Fund: The Market Building results reflect an improvement in the Operating Loss of nearly $210,000 for the current year when compared to the prior year. When FY09 performance is adjusted to remove the FY09 repair and maintenance expenses, FY10 Operating Loss is $5,000 less than FY09. Revenues are down 5.2% in FY10 and, expenses are down by 8.8% after adjusting for the FY09 repairs and maintenance. ~ The Market Building revenue variance was driven by two additional vendor vacancies in FY1 0 as compared to the same time in FY09. ~ The transfer from the Capital Projects Fund of $2.2 million is for Market Building renovations. In closing, we continue to experience a difficult year with many challenges. The City' revenues are lagging behind the budgeted numbers due to the impact of the national economic downturn on our local economy. The City works to be proactive in addressing financial responsibilities and to manage expenditures accordingly. Please call me with any questions you have on the City financial statements. I will be glad to assist you. Sincerely, fQJ6~ Ann H. Shawver Director of Finance Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 19, 2010 Page 8 Attachments c: Darlene L.

Bowers, Mayor Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Vice Mayor Honorable M. Rupert Cutler, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable AnitaJ. Price, Council Member Honorable Court G. Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member bear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Establishment of a Stormwater Utility and Stormwater Fee Background: More than twelve years ago, the General Assembly recognized the need for dedicated funding to address stormwater issues and responded with enabling legislation for stormwater utilities in Virginia. Many of the larger municipalities in the Commonwealth have implemented stormwater utilities and have seen the benefit of dedicated revenue to address important storm drain infrastructure needs. Many others states have provided similar legislation. ihe proposed stormwater utility will provide reliable dedicated revenue that will enable the City to address its substantial $60 million list of needed capital storm water projects. With dedicated revenue we can begin a decades long process to address our storm drain infrastructure needs. The proposed stormwater utility will also provide financial resources necessary to address new mandated federal storm water quality regulations. The revenue from the proposed utility will not be used to supplant existing maintenance funds or construction activities. Stormwater utility revenue is dedicated revenue that cannot be allocated to other funding needs of our city; the funds can only be spent on stormwater activities. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council January 19, 2010 Page 2 At Council's meeting on November 2, 2009, Council authorized the scheduling and holding of a public hearing on the proposed Stormwater Utility Ordinance for the Council's January 19, 2010, 7:00 PM meeting. Such public hearing is required by Section 15.2-2114 of the Code of Virginia. City staff has conducted more than forty community meetings to discuss the proposed Stormwater Utility and has met with many others on an individual basis since City Council's direction to proceed with development of a Stormwater Utility in July 2009. In addition, a webpage has been established to provide our citizens with information about the Stormwater Utility and why it is needed. In late December 2009, staff also posted the proposed ordinance, public advertisement, and fee assessments for all non-residential properties in the City on the webpage and a copy has been available for public inspection in the City Clerk's Office. City staff has developed a proposed ordinance establishing the Stormwater Utility effective March 1, 2010, with an associated fee of $3.00 per ERU [Equivalent Residential Unit] per month. The ordinance provides for the organization and administration of the Stormwater Utility, defines exempt properties, and provides for a system of credits for properties already providing stormwater management. The proposed ordinance is attached for Council's consideration. A public hearing has been properly advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Virginia Code and will be held at Council's regular 7:00 PM meeting on January 19, 2010. Absent comments at the Public Hearing requiring further consideration, City Council will be requested to adopt the proposed Stormwater Utility Ordinance and stormwater utility fee provided for therein. Recommended Action: Amend the Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended, by adding a new Chapter 11.5, Stormwater Utility, by adopting the attached ordinance which will be effective on and after March 1, 2010.

Blakeman, Environmental Administrator CM 10-00008 ROANOKE REGIONAL AIRPORT.COMMISSION , 5202 AvtaHon Drtve Roanoke, VA 24012-1148 (540) 362-1999 FAX (540) 563-4838 www.roanokeairport.com January 14, 2010 Bv Email via the City Clerk Honorable Mayor David Bowers and Members Roanoke City Council Dear Mayor and Members of City Council: I am writing to you on behalf of the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission regarding the proposed Storm water Utility Fee as described in the draft ordinance recently published on the City's website. Also, I would appreciate the opportunity to address Council on this issue next Tuesday evening, but thought it would also be a good idea to advise you of our concerns in this letter, since, if the ordinance is passed in its current form, the Airport Commission would be the highest payer of such fee by more than twice the amount that would be assessed against the next highest payer. Absent an exemption or significant credits, the ordinance as proposed would result in the Airport paying a fee of approximately $203,000 per year. This would amount to a 3% increase in the Commission's operating budget for the current year. Over the past two years, the Commission has had to deal with significant decreases in revenues, passengers, and flights, as well as state and federal funding. As a result, the Commission has made sizeable cuts in its budget so we can keep our fees down and reduce the likelihood of airlines cutting back or eliminating service. If the suggested fee is imposed, we would have no alternative but to pass it on through the imposition of increased rent to our tenants, as well as increased landing and parking fees. All of this could have a significant, detrimental impact on air service to the region. Thus, given the importance of air service to our region's economic health, very serious consideration should be given to exempting all or a large part of the Airport from this fee. Based on our preliminary review, we are concerned that a portion of the proposed ordinance may be invalid as it would outright deny the Commission the waiver apparently required by state law. In particular, as we understand Section 15.2-2114.B of the Virginia Code, which authorizes the establishment of a Stormwater Utility fee, the statute requires a full waiver of charges to federal, state or local government agencies when the agency owns and provides for maintenance of storm drainage and stormwater control facilities. The Commission is such a local government agency which owns and provides for maintenance of such facilities; however, the draft ordinance (Section11.5-4(b)) adds additional conditions to the exemption, which the Commission cannot meet, Le., that stormwater from the parcel does not drain to any component of the City's stormwater management system. Since state law does not provide such a limitation on the waiver to be afforded other governments, we question the City's authority to do so in the draft ordinance. Honorable Mayor and Members of Council January 14, 2010 Page Two If the Commission is not entirely exempted from the fee, then an exemption should be added to the ordinance for the Commission's paved surfaces that form the network of runways, taxiways and taxilanes, as well as for the public use roads owned and maintained by the Commission. The state legislature recognized the public necessity and importance of roads and streets when it specifically required a full waiver or exemption for roads and public street rights-of-way that are owned and maintained by the state or local agencies. The proposed ordinance does not recognize the "local agency" waiver for roadways, but instead restricts the waiver to City and state roads. We believe that this restriction is inappropriate and that as a local public agency, the Commission's public roads should be exempted. However, even more important, the same recognition of public necessity and value that exempts roads/streets from the fee should also be recognized for the paved surfaces the Airport provides for airplane traffic. The runways, taxiways and taxilanes are essentially the roads and highways used of necessity by aircraft, but unlike public. utilities and many other modes of transportation providing facilities to the public, there are no shareholders or profit motive involved with the provision of these airfield pavements, These surfaces are not discretionary, but are essential to the interstate' and intrastate transportation system of which the City of Roanoke is a part, and are equally as important as the highways and roads used to access and move within this area. We are not including the large aircraft parking ramps in this specific request for exemption, nor the areas where passengers and/or employees park, since they generally are capable of providing sufficient revenue to off-set their costs and most likely could do so if the airfield runways, taxiways and taxi lanes were exempted. We also note that the ordinance specifies -that stormwater utility fee credits generally are restricted to 50%, With insufficient time to calculate what the Commission's credits might be, the issue must still be raised as to why there would be a limit on the credits? It would appear that such a ceiling would be a disincentive to adding more stormwater management facilities once the ceiling has been met. Surely, it is the intent of Council to reduce the amount and improve the quality of water entering the City's streams and stormwater system, not merely to collect money; it appears that the credit limit would thwart this intent. Finally, the timing of this action raises grave concerns for us. We have only had a limited time to study the proposed ordinance and have yet to determine all of its ramifications to the Airport. To fully assess all of this will involve in-depth engineering studies to determine and substantiate what credits we may qualify for and to identify whether there are ways that we can make modifications to our facilities in order to increase the Airport's credits or decrease its impervious surfaces under the ordinance. Moreover, we are well into our budget year and having to absorb this fee without ample timetp plan for it is punitive to our financial operations and planning. Therefore, if Council decides to move forward with this ordinance, we urge that the effective date of the assessment should not be until January 1, 2011, or even better, July 1,2011. This would provide time to fully understand and meet the requirements of the ordinance, to budget for its impact, and to determine if actions can be taken to better manage our stormwater runoff in order to reduce the amount and improve the quality of the water entering the City's streams and stormwater system while possibly reducing the fee imposed on the Airport Commission.

Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue SW Roanoke, VA 24011 Re: Proposed Stormwater Utility Ordinance Chapter 11-5 Dear Ms. Moon: The Westem Virginia Water Authority offers these comments for the public hearing record on the proposed stormwater utility. Please note that these comments are either technical in nature or are submitted in the context of a regulated entity. The Authority's Board of Directors has taken no position with regard to creation of a stormwater utility. We would like to congratulate staff for the tremendous effort expended to date to address this important issue. Infrastructure renewal is not a glamorous topic. Regardless of the funding mechanism eventually chosen, progress is needed. Staff should be commended for their leadership. With regard to the ordinance: · Section 11.5-4(b) states that "parcels owned by federal, state, and local governmental agencies ..." are exempt under certain conditions. The Authority believes it is included in the definition of "local governmental agencies" and requests confirmation. Further, this section states that parcels are exempt under certain conditions including not draining to "any component of the City's stormwater management system", Stormwater management system is not defined. Is this only the pipe network or does this include open channels or natural water ways such as creeks and streams? Is the Roanoke River within the City limits part of the stormwater management system? · Section 11.5-7(b) (3) states that "credits for on-site stormwater management facilities are as follows if the facility was required under the provisions of Chapter 11.4 .. .", As worded, this would seem to bar credits for parcels that either have already voluntarily constructed stormwater management facilities or would like construct such facilities even if not actually required to under City Code. While we certainly understand the desire to have such facilities constructed to meet the specifications of City Code, the credit should not dependent on whether a parcel is required to have such a facility. · Section 11.5-7(e) provides a 10% credit for compliance with a- VPDES industrial stormwater permit. ,Certain facilities in Virginia, such as the Regional WPC Plant, have stormwater permit requireme'lts included in their overall VPDES discharge permit. We request the reference in this section be modified to include 9VAC 25-31-220 as weUas 9VAC 25-31-120. Our Mission is Clear 601 S. Jefferson Street.

The Authority respectfuliy reque~ts that fee billing not begin until some time after July 1, 2010 so that the Authority can budget funds. Finally, Authority staff has reviewed the spreadsheetdetailing impervious surface quantities for non- residential properti~s. While staff is in agreement with the calculation of billing units for the majority of the Authority's properties, there are questions regarding two parcels - the Crystai' Spring Water Filtration Plant and the Regional Water Pollution Control Plant. Authority staffwould like the opportunity to discuss these locations with City staff and/or their consultant as both parcels have particular attributes that may have been overlooked in the billing unit development. These concems are outside the credit and exemption process detailed in the proposed ordinance. Please do not hesitate to contact either of us if you have any questions or need additional information. We look forward to working with City staff on resolution of the items listed in this correspondence. Sincerely, t1~X1'1(~ Michael T.

Deputy City Clerk Darlene Burcham, City Manger Phil Schirmer, City Engineer p;c IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA AN ORDINANCE adding Chapter 11.5, Storm water Utility, to the Code of the City'of Roanoke (1979), as amended; providing for an effective date; and dispensing with the second reading by title of this ordinance. BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as follows: 1. Chapter 11.5, Stormwater Utility, to the Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), as amended, is hereby added to read and provide as follows: CHAPTER 11.5 STORMWATER UTILITY iSec. 11.5-1. Authority and effective date. The City is authorized by the provisions of S 15.2-2114, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, to establish a utility to supportstormwater management activities consistent with the Virginia Stormwater Management Act, S 10.1-603.1 et seq., Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, and other state and federal stormwater regulations. J'''j 'i~ This Chapter shall be effective March 1,2010.1 Sec. 11.5-2. Purpose and organization. "il';. City Council finds that an adequate, sustainable source of revenue for stonnwater ":{; management activities is necessary to protect the general health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City. ~urther, Council finds that parcels, as that term is defined in Appendix A to the City's Zoning Ordinance, S 36.2-100 et seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979) (City Code), with impervious surfaces contribute large amounts of stormwater and pollutants to the City's stormwater management system and that the owners of such parcels should carry a proportionate burden of the cost of such system.1 Therefore, Council determines that a stormwater utility (utility) based on a parcel's impervious surface cover is in the best interest of the public. The utility shall be operated under the direction of the City Manager, who shall organize, direct, and manage the utility, including the development of necessary policies and procedures, as aut~orized by this Chapter.! O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Storlllwater Utility.doc 1 Sec. 11.5-3. Stormwater utility fee. (a) (b) (c) There is hereby established a stom1water utility fee (fee) imposed on all improved parcels in the City as of [March 1, 2010 and !January 1 of each year thereafter regardless of whether the parcel is subject to taxation under S 32-16 et seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), Real Estate Taxes. Any subsequent improvements to a parcel may be subject to a partial fee. All revenue from the fee shall be deposited into a stormwater utility enterprise fund for the sole purpose of funding the activities described in S 11.5-5. The monthly utility fee rate shall be $3.00 for each Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) as defined in S 11.5-10. Each improved parcel in the City shall be charged in accordance with S 11.5-6. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, the impervious surface of a parcel shall be determined by the City using one or more of the following, in the discretion of the City Manager: aerial photography; as-built drawings; final approved site plans; building permits; field surveys; or other appropriate engineering and mapping analysis tools. Sec. 11.5-4. Exemptions. Notwithstanding S 11.5-3 above, the following parcels shall be exempt from the stormwater utility fee: (a) Unimproved parcels as defined in this Chapter; (b) Parcels, or portions thereof, owned by federal, state, or Ilocal govemment agencies! when the agency owns and provides for maintenance of storm drainage and stonnwater control facilities, stormwater from the parcel does not drain to any component of the City's storm water management system, and the agency is compliant with all required state and federal stormwater permits and regulations; (c) Roads and public street rights-of-way that are owned and maintained by the Commonwealth of Virginia or the City of Roanoke; and (d) Parcels controlled or used by a unit of the City, if such parcels are owned by the City. Sec. 11.5-5. Stormwater utility enterprise fund. There shall be established a stormwater utility enterprise fund (fund) from the deposit of all fees, charges, and other revenue collected by the utility, as well as any other revenue as may be determined by Councilor the City Manager, O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 2 including but not limited to grants and special appropriations. The fund shall be used exclusively for storm water management activities, including the following: (a) The acquisition by gift, purchase, or ~condemnation, as authorized by lawl, of real and personal property, and interest therein, necessary to construct, operate, and maintain stormwater control facilities; (b) The cost of administration of such programs; (c) Planning, engineering and design, debt retirement, construction costs for new facilities, and enlargement or improvement of existing facilities that serve to control stormwater; (d) Maintenance of stormwater collection, management, distribution, and treatment systems; (e) Monitoring of stomlwater control devices; (f) Pollution control and abatement consistent with state and federal regulations, including but not limited to compliance with the City's General Virginia Stormwater Management Pemlit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems under 4V AC50-60, Virginia Administrative Code, as amended; and (g) Plarming, design, land acquisition, construction, operation, and maintenance activities. Sec. 11.5-6. Stormwater utility fee calculation. (a) Except as otherwise provided, the minimum stormwater utility fee shall be the rate established for one ERU and shall be calculated for each parcel in the following manner: (1) All improved single-family residential parcels as defined in this Chapter shall pay a fee equal to the rate established for one ERU (2) The fee for all other improved parcels shall be determined as follows: (i) Divide the parcel's impervious surface by the ERU (ii) Round the resulting ratio to the next highest whole number. This whole number is the number ofERUs for the parcel. O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 3 (iii) Multiply the number of ERUs by the rate per ERU established by Council to obtain the total amount to be charged to the parcel owner. (b) Where a parcel with impervious surface is held in common ownership, the fee shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (a)(2) above based on the sum of the impervious surface in common ownership and the impervious surface of all parcels or real estate, as used in 9 32-16 et seq., Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), Real Estate Taxes, having Ian ownership interest in the common impervious surface. The total fee shall then be divided equally among those owning an interest in the parcel held in common. In such cases, the fee may be less than one ERU and/or the ERU may not be a whole number. I In addition, the City Manager, in his or her sole discretion, may develop alternative methodologies for billing a parcel held in common ownership on a case-by-case basis. Sec. 11.5-7. Stormwater utility fee credits.1 9 15.2-2114.B, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, recognizes that a continued investment in an on-site stormwater management facility results in a reduced impact on the public stormwater management system. (a) Credit Eligibility. Only on-site stonnwater management facilities meeting the following criteria are eligible for a credit against the stormwater utility fee: (1) The parcel owner must maintain structurally and operate the stormwater management facility. (2) The parcel owner must have a properly executed maintenance agreement with the City that has been properly recorded in the land records of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the City of Roanoke. (3) The parcel owner must demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that the facility is functioning as originally designed. The structure must be maintained to the satisfaction of the City Manager in accordance with the requirements set out in the most recent Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations and Virginia Stornlwater Management Handbook. (4) The facility must, at a minimum, meet the criteria contained in at least one of the following sections of the City Code: (i) 9 11.4-16, Water Quality; or O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - StOl"lllwater Utility.doc 4 (ii) Both S 11.4-17, Stream Channel Erosion, and S 11.4-18, Flooding (5) Facilities that do not meet the minimum criteria in subsection (4) above may stiII be considered on a case-by-case basis in the discretion of the City Manager if it is demonstrated that the facility achieves a pemlanent reduction in post-development stormwater flow and poIIutant loading. The credit may be prorated based on an analysis of the benefits of the reduction. (b) Credit Amounts. (1) The maximum credit allowed is fifty percent d50%~ of the total a1IDual stormwater utility fee, except as provided in subsection (6) below. (2) For an on-site stonnwater management facility, the credit amount is prorated based on the amount of impervious surface located on the parcel draining to the facility, and not the total amount of impervious surface cover on the parcel. (3) Credits for on-site stormwater management facilities are as follows if the facility was required under the provisions of Chapter S 11.4, Stormwater Management, of the City Code: (i) A ten percent (10%) credit is aIIowed if the facility, or facilities, provide water quality benefits in accordance with S 11.4-16 of the City Code. (ii) A ten percent (10%) credit is allowed if the facility, or facilities, provide both stream channel erosion control benefits in accordance with S 11.4-17 of the City Code and flood control benefits in accordance with S 11.4-18 of the City Code. I (4) At the City Manager's discretion, a credit of up to five percent (5%) in addition to that provided in subsection (3) above may be granted for a facility that achieves benefits above those required by the City Code. (5) Credits for on-site stonnwater management facilities that meet any of the provisions of S 11.4-16 through S 11.4-18 of the City Code, and are part of a voluntary retrofit, shall be double the credits established in subsections (3) and (4) above. O-Adding new Chapter 11,5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 5 (6) The owner of an eligible facility that treats off-site impervious surface located within the City may take a credit for treating the off-site impervious surface. The off-site credit amount shall be calculated in the same manner as if the facility was located on the off-site parcel. However, in no case shall the total credit exceed the total amount of the annual stonnwater utility fee charged to the parcel owner. ( c) Application and Maintenance Verification. (1) There is no fee for a credit application. (2) To apply for the initial credit for an on-site stormwater management facility, the parcel owner must submit, at his or her own expense, a Credit Application Form to be provided by the City Manager. The Credit Application Form shall require the following infonnation: (i) A description of the type of facility (or facilities), the stormwater control standard met by the facility, and the year the facility was built; (ii) A drainage area map, drawn to scale, for the facility showing the drainage boundaries and the impervious area treated by the facility in square feet; (iii) As-built or other acceptable engineering plans for the facility; (iv) A narrative of the known maintenance history of the facility, including routine maintenance and significant structural maintenance and repair; (v) A copy of the City's standard maintenance agreement that has been executed by the City and properly recorded in the land records of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the City of Roanoke. If there is no existing facility maintenance agreement, then one must be completed and properly recorded; (vi) Information on any public funds used to construct, repair, upgrade, or retrofit the facility, including the amount and the date(s); (vii) Calculations to determine the monetary amount of the claimed credit; and O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 6 (viii) A completed inspection checklist certifying that the facility is functioning as originally designed. "Functioning as originally designed" means that the facility is operating in accordance with the original design specifications, regardless of the standard in effect at the time of the installation. The checklist must be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer. The inspection checklist shall be no more than one year old at the time of application. (3) Once approved, the parcel owner will remain eligible for the credit as long as the facility continues to function as originally designed. The City may revoke the credit if an inspection by the City or a designated representative detemlines that the facility is no longer being properly maintained or functioning as designed. Such revocation will be effective thirty (30) days after the City has notified the parcel owner in writing of the deficiency(s) and if the problems are not resolved. The revocation may be delayed for an additional period, at the discretion of the City Manager, provided that the parcel owner is diligently pursuing work to eliminate deficiencies. (4) Any maintenance or functional deficiencies must be remedied at the owner's expense before a facility may qualify, or re-qualify (after revocation), for a credit. (d) Public Improvements to Private Facilities. A privately owned and operated facility that was constructed or upgraded using City funds shall be treated in the following manner: (1) Newly Constructed Facility. The parcel owner shall not be eligible for a credit until such time that the cumulative amount of credit that otherwise would have been allowed if the facility was constructed using private funds equals or exceeds the City's investment. (2) Existing, Non-Functioning Facility Upgraded to Function Properly. The parcel owner shall not be eligible for a credit until such time that the cumulative amount of credit that otherwise would have been allowed if the upgrade or retrofit was constructed using private funds equals or exceeds the City's investment. (3) Existing, Functioning Facility Upgraded and Eligible for Higher Credit. The parcel owner shall be eligible for the original credit. At such time that the cumulative difference between the original credit and the higher credit equals or exceeds the City's O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 7 investment, the parcel owner shall also be eligible for the higher credit. (e) Credit for Industrial Stonnwater Pemlits. Subject to the maximum credit in subsection (b)(1) above, a ten percent (10%) credit is allowed for any parcel, or portion of a parcel, that is subject to, and in compliance with, an individual or general Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System industrial stormwater pemlit issued in accordance with 9V AC25-31-120, Virginia Administrative Code, as amended. (f) Affirmative Duty and Timing. It is the sole responsibility of the parcel owner to apply for a credit. A credit that is approved by March 1,2010, or January 1 of a given year thereafter will be applied in full to the upcoming billing cycle. Credits approved after that date will be prorated and applied to the next available billing cycle. A prorated credit will be in whole- month increments, with partial months not counting toward the credit. Sec. 11.5-8. Billing, penalties, and interest. (a) The stormwater utility fee shall be billed and payable in the same manner prescribed in S 32-18, Code of the City of Roanoke (1979), Real Estate Taxes, and shall be subject to the same penalties as prescribed in S 32-19 unless a petition for adjustment has been submitted and is under active consideration by the City Manager in accordance with S 11.5-8 below. (b) A delinquent stonnwater utility fee, along with cumulative interest and penalties, shall constitute alien on the parcel ranking in parity with liens for unpaid taxes and shall be collected in the same manner as provided for the collection of unpaid real estate taxes. Sec. 11.5-9. Petitions for adjustments. (a) Any parcel owner may request an adjustment of the stormwater utility fee by submitting a request in writing to the City Manager within thirty (30) days after the date the bill is mailed or issued to the parcel owner. Grounds for adjustment are limited to the following: (1) An error was made regarding the square footage of impervious surface; (2) The parcel is exempt under the provisions of S 11.5-4; (3) There is a mathematical error in the fee calculation; or (4) The identification of the parcel owner invoiced is in error. O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stonnwater Utility.doc 8 (b) The parcel owner shall complete a Stonnwater Utility Fee Adjustment application form supplied by the City Manager. (c) If the request for adjustment is regarding an error in the measured impervious surface, a plan view of the parcel's impervious surface must be submitted with the application, and shall be prepared at the owner's expense. The plan must meet the following criteria: (1) The plan must show all impervious surfaces and label their dimensions within the parcel boundaries; and (2) The plan must be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer or Professional Land Surveyor licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia attesting to the accuracy of the impervious surface measurements. (d) The requirement for a plan view of the parcel's impervious surfaces required in subsection ( c) above may be waived, if in the sole discretion of the City Manager the error is obvious and is the result of a technical error or oversight by the City. In such case, the City shall be responsible for recalculating the impervious surface of the parcel. ( e) The City Manager shall make a determination within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete submittal for the request for adjustment. In the event that the City Manager finds that the appeal is deficient or incomplete, the City Manager shall offer the owner thirty (30) days to supply the missing information from the time of the determination. If the information is not provided to the City Manager within the additional thirty (30) day period, the request will be deemed withdrawn. (f) The City Manager's decision on a fee adjustment petItIOn is a final decision from which an aggrieved party may appeal to the Circuit Court of the City of Roanoke withi~ thirty (30) ldays after the date of such decision, after which time no further appeal shall be allowed. Sec. 11.5-10. Definitions. Except as provided below, or the context clearly indicates otherwise, definitions used in this Chapter shall be the same as those in 9 11.4-30. (a) Equivalent Residential Unit, or ERU, means the statistical median impervious surface measurement associated with an improved single- family residential parcel in the City. The designated ERU for the City is 1,920 square feet. O-Adding new Chapter 11.5 - Stormwater Utility.doc 9 (b) Impervious surface means any area improved, graded, and/or surfaced with impervious material or resulting in impervious conditions. An impervious material or condition is present when the natural infiltration of water into the soil is significantly impeded or prevented. An impervious surface includes that portion of the land surface covered by an elevated structure, such as a bridge or deck, regardless of whether the land surface itself remains pervious or impervious. (c) Improved single-family residential parcel means any parcel regardless of zone or land use that has a single residential house and where the primary use of the parcel is residential. This term includes townhouses located'on separate parcels and single family residential dwellings that are modified to include an accessory apartment or structure. For the purpose of determining the stormwater utility fee in S 11.5-6, a duplex shall be considered an improved single family residential parcel and the fee shall be divided equally between the owners. (d) Improved parcel means any parcel regardless of zone or land use that has one-hundred (100) or more square feet of impervious surface.j (e) Unimproved parcel means any parcel regardless of zone or land use that has less than one-hundred (100) square feet of impervious surface. 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect on and after March 1, 2010. 3. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of the City Charter, the second reading of this ordinance by title is hereby dispensed with.

Respectfully submitted, f). kvJ~ D. Kent Chrisman, Chairman City Planning Commission cc: Darlene L. Burcham, City Manager William M. Hackworth, City Attorney R. Brian Townsend, Assistant City Manager Applicant Members of City Council Page 3 January 19, 2010 Application Information Request: Permanent vacation of an alley Adjoining Owner/applicant Pilgrim Baptist Church City Staff Person: Frederick Gusler, AICP Site Address/Location: Off of 8m Street, N.W. Official Tax Nos. of 2032001,2030801,2030803 adjoining properties: Site Area: Approximately 6,490 square feet Existing Zoning: INPUD Proposed Zoning: n/a Existing Land Use: Unimproved riQht-of-way Proposed Land Use: Green space for church --- Neighborhood Plan: Harrison & Washington Park Specified Future Land Use: I nstitutionallRelig ious Filing Date: November 4, 2009 Background During the Planning Commission public hearing, the applicant stated that after hiring a surveyor to record a plat to combine its three parcels into one, the church realized that the subject paper alley existed. After consulting with the adjoining owner, the City of Roanoke, and getting assurance that there was no interest in or proposed future use of this property, the applicant decided to apply for its vacation and acquire all of it. Mr. Van Hyning asked the applicant if they had cleared the alley recently and the applicant said they had. Mr. Van Hyning asked why, to which the applicant said that the church has intentions of building a family life center and may use the alley for ingress and egress. After staff gave its report and recommended vacation of the alley at no charge to the applicant, Mr. Williams asked staff why they recommended not charging for it. Staff replied that although the alley may give the applicant some flexibility in design, it didn't add any development potential. Mr. Chrisman asked staff why the school was not interested in the property. Staff replied that the School Administration staff did not provide a specific reason, but staff guessed it was due to the fact that the alley is about 10 feet above grade of the adjoining Addison Middle School property and the school would likely never be able to use it. Mr. Williams said the grade north of the school was also steep. Staff agreed and said that it was unlikely that a greenway trail would ever be built across it. Members of City Council Page 4 January 19, 2010 Mr. Van Hyning asked staff about the potential use of the alley for ingress and egress. Staff said that at this time there have been no specific discussions or planning done by staff or the applicant to adequately answer, however the alley appears to be limited due to setback requirements and the slope of the land. Considerations Section 30-14(5) of the Code of the City of Roanoke provides the following standard for consideration of street and alley vacation requests: "Following the hearing before the city planning commission on an application to alter or vacate a street or alley, the commission shall report in writing to the city council whether in its opinion, any, and if any, what inconvenience would result if the application were approved by council, and the commission shall report and make a recommendation to council as to whether the application should be approved." The applicant owns Official Tax No. 2032001. The alley requested for vacation also adjoins Official Tax Nos. 2030801 and 2030803. The owner of those parcels, the City of Roanoke, has expressed no interest in maintaining or acquiring any of the alley. Vacation of the alley will not alter access to any other properties and will not change the current use of the property. Surroundinq Zoninq and Land Use: Zoning District Land Use North INPUD Religious South INPUD School East R-5, Residential Single-family Vacant West R-5, Residential Single-family Residential Single-family Compliance with the Zoninq Ordinance: Vacation of the portion of right-of-way will allow the applicant to combine Official Tax Nos. 2032001, 2030201 and 2030401. Such combination will allow Official Tax No. 2030401 to have street frontage on 8th Street, N.W. However, since Official Tax No. 2030401 is zoned R-5, it would need to be rezoned to INPUD (along with Official Tax No. 2030201) to be used for any expansion of the Church. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan: The proposed vacation is consistent with applicable plans. There will be no impact on future street connectivity. Members of City Council Page 5 January 19, 2010 Public Utilities: Staff received comments from Verizon, Appalachian Power Company, and Roanoke Gas, all of which stated no objection to the request. City Department Comments: The Acting Deputy Fire Marshal advised that if in the future this alley (as private property) would be used for secondary ingress/egress, it may have to be as wide as twenty feet. Public Comments: None. Planninq Commission Work Session: None. .. '.'~!::::".::.,:::.::q:::": q,: .'. q :'.:.:'. ':..

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Request from Virginia Lutheran Homes, Inc., to repeal existing conditions proffered as set forth in Ordinance No. 30398-21991 and replace them with the conditions that the development of the property shall be in substantial conformity with the development plan entitled "Brandon Oaks" prepared by Perkins Eastman Architects PC dated July 28, 2009, subject to any changes required by the City during comprehensive development plan review, and that supplementary landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with Sections 36.2-642(e) and (f) within the existing natural vegetative buffer as shown on the "Landscaping Plan Prepared for Brandon Oaks," prepared by Dan Chitwood, dated 11/18/09, for property at 3804 Brandon Avenue, S.W., Official Tax No. 5180304. Planning Commission Action: Planning Commission public hearing was held on Thursday, December 17, 2009. Public hearing discussion is set out at the end of this report. By a vote of 4-3 (Messrs. Chrisman, Futrell, and Scholz and Ms. Katz voting for and Mrs. Penn and Messrs. VanHyning and Williams voting against), the Commission recommended approval of the amendment of proffers. A majority of the Commission found the application to amend proffers on Official Tax No. 5180304 to be consistent with Vision 2001-2020 and the Greater Oeyerle Neighborhood Plan which specifies the property for residential multifamily development. The applicant has mitigated any external impacts of the proposed redevelopment by limiting the height of the proposed structures, by enhancing existing landscaping buffers, and by keeping the overall density of the development the Members of City Council Page 2 January 19, 2010 same. The proposed redevelopment shifts six existing units to the rear of the site into a single, twelve-unit, building which has a height that is no greater than what is permitted in the surrounding single-family district. Furthermore, landscaping to supplement the natural buffer has been increased to 64 evergreen trees to the south and east of the proposed multifamily building which must be maintained in perpetuity. All other elements of the development remain essentially the same. The other townhouse buildings containing a total of twelve units will be rebuilt in the same configuration with a slightly larger footprint, the overall number of units will remain at 228, and all traffic will continue to enter and exit the site at Brandon Avenue.

At that time, 22 cottage units were planned for the southern end of the property. In February 1991, City Council approved Ordinance No. 30398-21991 to permit the reconfiguration of the 'cottage' (two-family and townhouse) units at the southern end of the Brandon Oaks property in order to save large caliper trees (24" and greater). The 1991 development plan showed six one-story townhouse buildings containing 18 units which were constructed soon after the zoning approval. In recent years, however, the applicant indicates that these units lack market appeal and suffer from chronic vacancies. The applicant determined the units were too small (1,100 square feet) and that larger units were warranted. At the Planning Commission's September 17, 2009, meeting, the applicant requested an amendment of the development plan to enable redevelopment of the southern end of the property by demolishing all townhouse buildings and replacing them with three buildings with four units each (12 units) and a three- story multifamily building containing 12 units. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the request by a 0-4 vote, citing height and screening issues. City Council tabled the matter for one month at its October meeting. On November 16, 2009, City Council granted the applicant's request to remand the Members of City Council Page 4 January 19, 2010 application back to the Planning Commission for consideration of a modified plan. On November 18th, the applicant submitted an amended application addressing issues of height and screening. The previously proposed three-story multifamily building was reduced to two stories, resulting in a height reduction from 38 feet to 28 feet. The proposed evergreen screening supplementing the existing natural vegetation around the multifamily building was doubled from 32 trees to 64 trees. The redevelopment is proposed in two phases: 1. Phase I is the demolition of the three townhouse buildings (2 units each) in the southeast corner of the subject property. These units would be replaced by the two-story multifamily building with 12 units ranging in size from 1,400 square feet to 1,700 square feet. Each unit will have a designated parking space in the basement of the building. A five-space visitor parking lot is also proposed to the west of the building. The proffered landscaping plan to provide additional vegetative screening to the east and south of the building to mitigate visibility from off the site would be installed as part of Phase I. 2. Phase II is the demolition of the remaining three buildings containing four units each. These units would be replaced with the same number of units in the same general configuration, but each unit will have a larger floor area (1,700 square feet) and will have a separate garage and driveway. The overall number of units on the property will remain at 228 even though an additional six units will be placed on the southern portion of the property. Small units within the existing multifamily building will be combined to reduce the number of units by six. Conditions Proffered by the Applicant The applicant requests that the following proffers be repealed as they pertain to Official Tax No. 5180304: 1. That the development of the property will be in substantial conformity with the revised concept plan prepared by Sherertz, Franklin, Crawford & Shaffner, dated January 4, 1991, with the January 15, 1991, notation, a copy of which is attached to this Petition as Exhibit liB", subject to any changes required by the City during comprehensive development plan review. 2. That the project will include such screening and buffering at the southeast corner of the development so as to prevent headlights from said area Members of City Council Page 5 January 19, 2010 being visible to the residences on adjoining properties located on Valentine Road. 3. That all drainage from the developed area will be collected into detainment basins and piped from the same to a public storm drainage system in a manner approved by the Engineering Department of the City of Roanoke. The applicant requests that the following proffers be adopted as they pertain to Official Tax No. 5180304: 1. The development of the property shall be in substantial conformity with the development plan entitled 'Brandon Oaks,' prepared by Perkins Eastman Architects PC dated July 28,2009, amended October 29,2009, subject to any changes required by the City during comprehensive development plan review. 2. Supplementary landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with Sections 36.2-642(e) and 36.2-642(f) of the City's Zoning Ordinance within the existing natural vegetative buffer as shown on the 'Landscaping Plan Prepared for Brandon Oaks,' prepared by Dan Chitwood, Certified Landscape Architect, dated November 18, 2009. The replacement of all current conditions with the proffered development plan and landscaping plan are warranted. Existing and proposed proffer #1 provides a comprehensive development plan that will continue to govern the site in terms of building location, size, height, use, access, parking, and buffering. Existing buffer yards will be retained and enhanced. Existing proffer #2 regarding sufficient screening/buffering to prevent headlight trespass should be repealed. Replacing this proffer with a landscaping plan,' where planting material is required to be maintained in perpetuity, provides clear, measurable standards for implementation and continued enforcement. Existing proffer #3 is now irrelevant due to the Stormwater Management Ordinance that went into effect in January 2008. All stormwater issues will be handled administratively through the Comprehensive Development Plan review process.

No buffer yards are required between the RMF District and the R-12 District; however, a natural vegetative buffer ranging in width from 95' to 170' along the rear property line is being retained and will be supplemented with 64 new evergreen trees as shown on the proffered landscaping plan around the proposed multifamily building. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan: Both Vision 2001-2020 and the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan identify the need to maximize the use of the City's limited land resources while preserving the natural environment. One tool to accomplish this goal are housing clusters which are market-rate residential developments that provide a variety of housing options on a large site located within or adjacent to an established neighborhood. Since its inception, Brandon Oaks has provided a variety of housing options including congregate living units, townhouse units, and multifamily units for the elderly within to the Greater Deyerle neighborhood. The buildings are well placed with an interconnected network of driveways, walking paths, and green space. The reconfiguration of the southern portion of the site will maintain this development pattern while addressing the needs of future residents. Vision 2001-2020 contains three policies relevant to this application: · NH P1. Sustainable population. Roanoke will have a balanced, sustainable population. Roanoke will promote its urban assets, diversity, convenience, and affordability to retain existing residents and attract new ones. · NH P5. Housing choice. The City will havE;l a balanced, sustainable range of housing choices in all price ranges and design options that encourage social and economic diversity throughout the City. Concentration of federally subsidized, assisted or affordable housing will be discouraged. · NH P6. Housing clusters. Development of housing clusters will be used to encourage and promote neighborhood revitalization, replace derelict or neglected structure, and complement the surrounding neighborhood. The Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan contains numerous policies relevant to this application: · Community Design Policies Members of City Council Page 7 January 19, 2010 o Neighborhood Character: Established neighborhoods should retain their overall character and development patterns, while incorporating new development that is compatible with the neighborhood, the design guidelines of Vision 2001-2020, and efficiently uses limited land resources. o Parking: Paved parking spaces and impervious surfaces should be minimized. . Residential Development Policies o Neighborhood Character: Established neighborhoods should retain their overall character and development patterns, while incorporating new development that is compatible with the neighborhood, yet which maximizes more of the land. o New development: New development should be well-planned and use limited land resources wisely. o Infill development: Infill development should be aesthetically and functionally compatible with its existing context of adjoining development. o Housing Clusters: Support the rezoning of vacant or underutilized large sites for mixed density housing provided that it is consistent with the design guidelines of Vision 2001-2020, preserves some green space to buffer existing development, and minimized environmental impacts. City Department Comments: The City's Development Review Coordinator, Danielle Bishop, questioned whether or not there is an "adequate channel" available to handle the discharge of stormwater. After discussing the project with the applicant's engineer and conducting a site visit, Mrs. Bishop is satisfied that stormwater for the proposed development can be adequately addressed. Public Comments: The applicant conducted three meetings at Brandon Oaks to garner input and answer questions from adjoining property owners. The first meeting was on June 30, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. with six adjoining property owners in attendance (primarily from Loblolly Lane and Windsor Oaks Circle). The second meeting was held on July 30, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. with twelve adjoining property owners in attendance (primarily from Valentine Road). The third meeting was held on December 10, 2009 at 4:45 p.m. with six adjoining property owners in attendance (primarily from Valentine Road and Loblolly Lane). Questions and comments centered around occupancy, density, height, visibility, and screening, The following comments were presented at the Planning Commission's public hearing on September 17, 2009. Members of City Council Page 8 January 19, 2010 1. John Merkwan (3539 Windsor Oaks Circle), President of the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Association, stated that the neighborhood association was in opposition to the request. He stated that the one-story height limit placed on the cottages during the 1991 rezoning should be respected and that a three-story building was not the only answer to Brandon Oak's vacancy issue. 2. Bonnie Mann (3339 Valentine Road) presented a model showing her home in relation to the proposed three story Brandon Oaks structure. She said that her primary concern was the three story building, which she felt was commercial in size and inconsistent with the residential neighborhood. 3. Bob Caudle (4231 Belford Street, S.W.) stated that Brandon Oaks should honor their existing proffers. 4. Ron Milan (3411 Valentine Road, S.W.) stated that although the overall density would not change on the site there would be considerably more residents behind his residence. He was also concerned that the proposed vegetation would not survive to create a sufficient buffer as previous vegetation planted on the property had not been properly maintained. The following comments were presented at the Planning Commission's public hearing on December 17, 2009. 1. Ms. Bonnie Mann (3339 Valentine Road, S.W.) presented a three- dimensional cardboard model of her home, the existing cottages, and the proposed two-story building as well as a photoshopped picture depicting the view from her home to the proposed two-story building and evergreen plantings. She said she was in opposition to both. She also felt that the existing cottages could be renovated to meet current market demands. Ms. Katz noted that the scale of the models was not accurate and that a neighbor could build a taller residence right next to her house than what Brandon Oaks was proposing. 2. Mr. Ron Milan (3411 Valentine Road) objected to Brandon Oak's plans for a two-story, multifamily building so close to his single-family residence. 3. Mr. Blake Deavers (no address given) stated that he purchased his home under the impression that Brandon Oaks had completed construction. He objected to the two-story multifamily building. 4. Mr. John Merkwan (3539 Windsor Oak Circle), president of the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Association, stated the association was still opposed to the request even with the proposed changes. Mr. Merkwan said that the neighborhood's concerns in 1991 were the same as those in 2009. He requested the Commission maintain the existing proffers for one story buildings. 5. Ms. Joan Brumby (3804 Brandon Avenue) stated she was a resident of Brandon Oaks after years of waiting for a sufficiently sized unit for her and her husband. They were recently able to move to Brandon Oaks into one of the consolidated units in the existing multifamily building. She asked that the Commission approve the request. Members of City Council Page 9 January 19, 2010 6. Mr. Nathan Tanner (3804 Brandon Avenue) appeared before the Commission as a resident and president of the Residents Council of Brandon Oaks. He said Brandon Oaks allowed him to remain a City resident after he could no longer maintain his single-family home. He went on to say that many of his friends wanted to live at Brandon Oaks as well but were unable to obtain a suitably-sized unit. He asked that the Commission approve the request. 7. Mr. Bob Caudle (4231 Belford Street, S.W.) stated that overturning proffered conditions threatened their authority. He also questioned Brandon Oaks motives in buying properties on Loblolly and renting them to couples who used Brandon Oaks' facilities. Staff responded that there was no conflict with the City's Zoning Ordinance as the properties were still used as single-family residences. Mr. Chrisman also reminded the public and the Commission that the properties on Loblolly were not pertinent to the current discussion. 8. Ms. Carmella Kelly (3510 Loblolly Road) also expressed concern over Brandon Oak's purchase of single-family residences on Loblolly Road. Planninq Commission Public Hearinqs: The following comments and questions were posed by the Planning Commission at their September 17, 2009 public hearing. 1. Mr. Scholz asked the timeframe for growth of the proposed evergreen trees. The applicant responded that if they were five feet in height at planting, it would take approximately 10 years for the trees to reach the roof of the proposed multifamily building. 2. Ms. Katz said she was concerned about the height of the multifamily building. She said a two-story building would be more in keeping with the adjacent single-family neighborhood. The following comments and questions were posed by the Planning Commission at their December 17, 2009 public hearing. 1. Mr. Willliams said that he felt the request was perfectly reasonable but his concern was that the original proffer of single-story cottages was central to the development's 1991 approval. The applicant responded that the proposed multifamily building would only be eight feet taller than the existing cottages when considering grade change and that great lengths had been taken to ensure that the building would not 'loom' over adjoining properties. 2. Mr. Scholz asked how the buildings would be lit. The applicant responded that the only exterior lighting would be on the building's balconies. 3. Mr. VanHyning asked if stormwater could be adequately handled. Staff responded that the City's Development Review Coordinator had visited the site and felt comfortable that stormwater could be accommodated. Members of City Council Page 10 January 19, 2010 4. Mr. Williams questioned why the one-story, two-family cottages could not be rebuilt with a larger footprint as they could with the one-story, townhouse cottages. The applicant responded that there was limited amount of developable land at the southern end of the property due to buffer yards and stormwater management areas. The multifamily option allowed them to expand while remaining in the original footprint of the six two-family units that would be demolished. 5. Ms. Katz said she thought the design was appropriate and would vote for the plan because it fit in architecturally and was in conformance with the neighborhood and comprehensive plans. 6. Mr. VanHyning asked if the stormwater management system could be placed underground. The applicant responded that it could not due to the proposed underground parking garage. 7. Mr. Scholz stated that the question at hand was whether the project did any harm to the adjoining neighborhood. He also stated that if a low, two- story configuration had been proposed in 1991, it could have possibly been approved. . 8. Mr. Williams again stated that he saw nothing objectionable about the proposal but that he was concerned that the original proffer limiting the cottages to one-story was important to the Deyerle neighborhood. Staff reminded the Commission and the public that a proffer was not a promise but a legal agreement between the applicant and City that could be amended through the rezoning process if the request was appropriate. ;'. ."'"."",I-..;~I ':-:\~~T-';'i"~l"""':I'Z-'~""'''''''''';;';'''~.'-';''':';:--':'A;'--:;.';''',..,"'.>:'.;,0;:;'..,"..;..,....,.. .,',;. ;-",.':' 'c' ,', '. ..c.... ..

NARRATIVE REASON FOR REQUEST TO AMEND PROFFERED CONDITIONS Subject Property: 3804 Brandon Avenue, SW Tax Map No.: 5180304 Applicant/Owner Virginia Lutheran Homes, Inc. JUSTIFICATION/INTENDED USE OF PROPERTY Based on vacancies in the existing Brandon Oaks Independent Living apartments and cottages, Petitioner, VIRGINIA LUTHERAN HOMES, INC., determined that an assessment was required of the most feasible way to reposition the campus for the future and it employed Perkins Eastman to re- plan the original cottage "arboretum" site to reposition the campus. Three primary assumptions were a part of this study: · The study would work within the existing project entitlements, including adhering to the 228 unit limitation for the site, which is presently maximized on the site. ' · New apartments should seek to have similar amenities and square footage as in the existing facility. · No changes to the exterior of any existing portion of the project will be made except for demolition of the existing eighteen cottages at the rear of the property and replacement with three one-story townhouse buildings (Building A) and one two-story multifamily building (Building B). Some conclusions of the study were: o As to the existing "arboretum" site to the south of the main building: · At 1100 sf, the cottages on the "arboretum" site are small and have begun to lose their market appeal and experience significant vacancies. Therefore, the changes to this site will replace all of the cottages with larger units. · This "arboretum" site would best meet Brandon Oaks market needs if it created a mix of larger units in one two-story multifamily building consisting of 12 units and three one-story Cbaumgardner/U: \ Work\civil.c1ients\ Virginia Lutheran Homes\AmendedNarrative.l0.30.09.doc 3-Nov-09 Page 1 of 2 G-, 4.\. Cd townhouse buildings consisting of 4 units each. · The two-story multifamily building would have 6 units per floor with communal parking located under the building.' Each unit would range in size from 1400 to 1700 sf, with a balcony or patio, and contain a minimum of two bedrooms/two baths. · The three one-story townhouse buildings would have four units per building with each unit consisting of 1700 square feet. Parking would be provided in individual garages and driveways. · These new residences would increase the number of units on the "arboretum" site from 18 units to 24 units while staying within the total permitted - 228 units as the result' of the combination of units in the existing facility.

Easter, PE City Staff Person: Maribeth B. Mills Site Address/Location: 4403 Woodbridge Avenue, NW Official Tax Nos.: 6370210 and portion of 6370206 Site Area: 0.561 Acres Existing Zoning: CG, Commercial-General District, with Conditions (Ordinance No. 23837) Proposed Zoning: R-3, Residential Single-Family District, with Conditions ! Existing Land Use: Vacant Proposed Land Use: Townhomes Neighborhood Plan: Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan Specified Future Land Use: Commercial Filing Date: Original Application: September 25, 2009; Amended Application NO.1: October 21, 2009; Amended Application No. 2: Novemb~r 25, 2009 Background In October of 1986, City Council rezoned the subject properties from RS-3, Residential Single-Family District to C-2, General Commercial District, with the condition that only C-1, Office District, uses would be permitted. An office was established in the existing dwelling on the property. The remainder of the site is vacant. The applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on November 19,2009 to request a rezoning to permit the construction of six single-story town homes. Due to the Commission's concerns regarding site design, the request was tabled for one month to allow changes to be made to the plan. On November 25th, the applicant submitted an amended application maintaining the six single-story townhomes, each with a single-bay, front loaded garage and sidewalk connecting the front door to the public street. Changes include joint-use driveways decreasing the number of curb cuts from six to three, a Type A Buffer yard along the eastern property line, and a street configuration consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance and Street Design Guidelines. The color of siding and dormer placement was also changed on the unproffered front elevation. Comments regarding fa9ade materials and relocating/deemphasizing the front-loaded garage were not addressed. The remaining 0.456 acres of Members of City Council Page 3 January 19, 2010 Official Tax No. 6370206, which contains the office building, is not a part of this req uest. Condition Proffered by the Applicant The applicant requests that the following proffered condition be repealed as it pertains to Official Tax No. 6370210 and the subject portion of Official Tax No. 6370206: 1. The petitioners hereby proffer and agree that if the tract is rezoned as requested that the rezoning will be subject to and that the petitioners will abide by a condition that the tract as rezoned will be used only for purposes permitted under C-1, Office and Institutional District. The applicant requests that the following proffered condition be adopted as it pertains to Official Tax No. 6370210 and the subject portion of Official Tax No. 6370206: 1. The property will be developed in substantial conformity with the development plan prepared by ACS Design, LLC, dated November 25, 2009, a copy of which is attached to this application as Exhibit 3, subject to any changes that may be required by the City during comprehensive development plan review. Considerations Surroundinq Zoninq and Land Use: Zoning District Land Use North MX, Mixed Use District and R-7, Residential Medical clinic and vacant. Single-Family District South CG, Commercial General District Office, General of Professional. East R-7, Residential Single-Family District and RM-1, Single-family dwellings. Residential Mixed Density District , West CG, Commercial General District ,Single-Family Residential and Vacant. Compliance with the Zoninq and Subdivision Ordinances: Under its current conditional Commercial-General District zoning designation, all uses permitted in the C-1 District of the 1976 Zoning Ordinance are permitted encompassing a range of office and institutional uses. Rezoning the subject property will reduce development potential to six townhouse units subject to the R-3 and supplemental regulations of the 2005 Zoning Ordinance including density, lot size, lot frontage, yards, height, open space, and parking as follows: Members of City Council Page 4 January 19, 2010 1. The R-3 District permits a density of one unit for every 3,000 square feet of lot area. The subject property would accommodate up to 8 units. The development plan shows 6 units, resulting in a density of one unit for every 4,000 square feet of lot area. 2. Each unit would be on its own lot meeting the lot size and lot frontage requirements of the district. This results in 30 foot wide units. 3. Minimum and maximum yard requirements of the R-3 District and the 10 foot minimum setback between town homes and the R-7 District to the east have been adhered too. No buffer yards are required; however, a Type A Buffer Yard has been added along the eastern property line on the proffered development plan. 4. The maximum height permitted in all single-family residential districts is 35 feet. The proposed height is 21 feet. 5. The townhouse regulations require 100 square feet of useable open space per unit. The development plan provides for approximately 700 square feet of useable open space per unit. 6. Two parking spaces have been provided for each unit by a front loaded garage and driveway which is permitted for units greater than 25' in width provided the driveway and garage door are no greater than 10 feet in width. Six on-street spaces are also available along Woodbridge Avenue. The Section 31.1-400 of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires a six foot planting strip with one large deciduous tree for every 40 feet of street frontage and a five foot sidewalk in the R-3 District. These improvements are depicted on the proffered development plan. To accommodate these improvements, a five foot strip of land running the length of the property will be dedicated to Woodbridge Avenue. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan: The proposed townhomes fulfill a number of goals and policies of both Vision 2001-2020 and the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan such as providing a transitional use between commercial development on Peters Creek Road and the residences beyond and introducing a new housing option to a predominately single-family neighborhood. The Westview Terrace neighborhood is characteristic of a suburban neighborhood with large lots, a variety of housing sizes and styles, deep front yard setbacks, wide curvilinear streets, and prominent driveways and garages. Both plans encourage new development to steer away from this development form to more traditional layouts that de- emphasize the automobile. The amended development plans provides pedestrian accommodations sheltered from vehicular traffic by a large planting strip with large deciduous trees and on-street parking; increases the number of on-street parking spaces and reduces the number of curb cuts through the use of joint-use driveways; buffering for adjoining single-family uses; and variations to the front elevations including color and dormer placement. Although the primary feature of the proposed development remains automobile storage, it was deemed Members of City Council Page 5 January 19, 2010 appropriate due to the lot's small size and the prominence of front-loaded garages throughout the neighborhood. The following policies of Vision 2001-2020 are relevant in the consideration of this application: . NH P5: House choice. The City will have a balanced, sustainable range of housing choices in all price ranges and design options that encourage social and economic diversity throughout the City.

Outside Aqency Comments: The applicant has indicated that storm water will be handled through infiltration or by a detention pond on Official Tax No. 6370206 if soils are unsuitable. The City's Development Review Coordinator, Danielle Bishop, agrees that if infiltration is not an option, a detention pond on the adjoining property is feasible. The City's Traffic Engineer, Hong Liu, requested the dedication of right-of-way to accommodate a 6 foot planting strip with street trees, a 5 foot sidewalk, and a 6 inch utility strip in accordance with the LSB(1 b) of the City's Street Design Guidelines. These improvements are depicted on the proffered development plan. Members of City Council Page 7 January 19, 2010 Public Comments: Mr. Jeffrey Rackley (2002 Kay Street N.W.) contacted staff to express concern over the proximity of the proposed town homes to his property, the number of additional driveways accessing Woodbridge Avenue, and the appearance of the town home's front and side elevations. He asked if the existing deciduous trees along his rear property line could be retained or a fence could be installed to shield his property from the townhomes. Three adjoining property owners appeared before the Commission and one letter was read into the record at their November 19, 2009 public hearing expressing concern over density, traffic congestion, visibility, decreased property values, and retention of mature trees. Ms. Katz asked the public if they would prefer commercial or residential development on the property. The public responded that they preferred residential, but with some concessions. The applicant noted that the mature trees were not on the subject property and would not be touched. He also stated that a buffer yard along the eastern property line between the townhomes and single-family residences could be installed. Planninq Commission Public Hearinq: The following comments and questions were posed by the Planning Commission at their December 17, 2009 public hearing. 1. Mr. Williams questioned if the curb cuts were an apron. Staff responded that the City's Zoning Ordinance required a cross slope over sidewalks of no more than two percent. 2. Ms. Katz stated that the development was a good transition between the commercial uses along Peters Creek Road and the single-family neighborhood beyond. 3. Mr. Chrisman stated that he felt it would be difficult to redesign the development due to the size of the subject property. 4. Mr. Williams asked if the policy regarding rear-Ioade,d garages was particular to the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan or a general City- wide policy of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff responded that it was a policy of the Peters Creek North Neighborhood and specifically the residential policies pertaining to the Westview Terrace Neighborhood in which this property is located. 5. Mr. VanHyning stated that he was not in support of the application as it did not adhere to the policies of the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan. 6. Ms. Penn asked the applicant why it was necessary to include front- loaded garages. The applicant responded that as a development designed for the elderly and disabled, front-loaded garages would be easier to navigate. He also stated that rear-loaded garages would take away from the privacy of the residences and increase impervious surface on the site.

Justification The justification for granting this rezoning application is supported by the purpose and intent outlined Section 36.2-101 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The proposal provides for adequate light, air, convenience of access, and safety from fire, flood, crime, and other dangers. The development plan proposes three curb cut installations for access to the homes. The design provides safe, convenient access to Woodbridge Avenue and prevents congestion in public streets. The exterior treatments of the proposed units will be of brick wainscot and vinyl siding. Each unit will have a one car garage centrally located one adjacent to another. The development will have a quaint small town harmonious appeal almost like a community within itself. Each unit will have a backyard area that will enhance the living experience at this location. This proposal is compatible with the surrounding uses (commercial, single family) in the area. The R-3 proposal provides an adequate transition form the more intense Commercial uses to the single family uses than does the current zoning designation. The design proposal is within the density limits and regulations set forth in the R-3 District and would not pose undue burden on any public service area. The proposal would increase the City tax base and stimulate the economy by providing additional real estate taxes for collection and promote home sales in a down turned economy. The proposal also provides for affordable, diversified and accessible housing options which are not readily available in this immediate area. b. Proposed Use D&S Development Group proposes to downzone its property identified at tax parcel 6370210 and a portion of 6370206 from CG, Commercial General, to R-3, Residential Single Family District. The proposal includes the development and construction of six one-story attached ADA compliant townhouses. Each unit will have a single car garage. The proposal also includes a property line adjustment between parcel 6370210 and par:cel 6370206. The property line between the two parcels is proposed to be shifted 7.5 feet to the west thus increasing the acreage on the parcel 6370210 by 0.021 acres and conversely decreasing the acreage of parcel 6370206 by the same amount. The property line adjustment is being proposed in order to facilitate six 30 foot wide townhouse units with required side yard setbacks. The remaining acreage of Tax Parcel 630206 will be 0.456 acres. The remaining property is zoned CG, Commercial General, and is not to be considered for zoning change as part of this application. c. Effects on Surrounding Neighborhood The effecJs on the surrounding neighborhood will be minimal. There will be a small increase ib traffic, and on city services. The location of this development will b,e of benefit to jthe surrounding single family uses in that it is less intense than would be an office use and will provide a transitional space between those commercial uses and single family us~s. The development would allow for infiIl and use of a currently vacant parcel. d.lsimi/ar Zoned Property In the iJmediate' area, there are a number of affordable housing options but the availabilit~ of diverse housing types are limited. This proposal would provide both affordablel housing options and diverse housing types to infill into a well established neighborhood and promote a well rounded community. The propolal is to down zone from CG, Commercial General~ to R-3, Residential Single I Family. [The adjoining property zoning designations are CG, Commercial General District, to the west and south, MX, Mixed Use District, to the north, and R-7, , I Residential Single Family District, to the northeast and east. The R-3 zone as proposed provides J gradual step up from the R-7 zone and is a good transition to the more intensive ioning of the CG District. By rezoning the subject property to R-3 a desirable transition ~one would be provided between CG and R-7 properties, thus allowing less intensive Jses to abut the R-7 district. I e. Comprehensive Plan The pro poled rezoning supports the comprehensive plan by allowing infill housing in an I already established neighborhood. Little land is available for infill development and most that ils available is on a large scale. This site is small in size and would allow the I design and development of new home construction that will compliment the existing neighborh,qod. The concept proposed offers an alternative housing type which will prove to be sustainable. This development will also afford the opportunity for diverse housing types within an affordable price range and scale that will meet the needs of the City residents at all stages of life. This proposal will allow physically challenged residents to live indepdndently and comfortably with many amenities that will enhance and improve their quality of life. Currently, the City has little to offer of this housing type. This plan jill also afford those residents that live within the immediate area a community to retire tol in, their later years or in times when they will need more assistance with everyday things. The community will allow people a place to live as they progress through th~ latter stages of their lives. It will allow them to remain in the same neighborho:od community and around neighbors, friends and familiar surroundings. This will give comfort and add to their quality of life. 2 The design of this development promotes higher density residential development that is concentrated adjacent to an established commercial area. The buildings are set close to the street and provides for pedestrian activities by incorporating sidewalks both in the public right of way and on the property. The designed sidewalks provide for access to surrounding neighborhoods and allows for public sidewalk access to City services (i.e. bus stop). On-street parking is provided on Woodbridge Avenue and on the property itself. f. Neighborhood Plan The subject property falls within the Peters Creek North Neighborhood Plan. This' portion of the City, as well as all areas of the city, is being challenged to provide for an aging population.' Providing housing options for an aging popul'ation will become a necessity for the City. The rezoning proposal provides specially equipped housing for the elderly or for the physically challenged. This development would potentially allow a senior citizen or special needs person to relocate within the same neighborhood or community. It would allow for newer smaller homes to be built which would be of benefit to senior citizens in terms of property up keep and maintenance. The proposed layout plan calls for 2 and 3 bedroom units all on one living level. Each unit is equipped with a single car garage that will promote easy access via an at-grade entrance into the home. The existing grade on Woodbridge Avenue and the property is 10 percent. This is aninfilllot and not a new development. No alley or potential of an alley exist to access the rear. The site is not conducive to rear loading garages and parking areas due to the topography and turning radius requirements. The topography poses serious issues to those residents who are physically handicapped and can not be worked into the design for one level living. In order to install an access from Woodbridge A venue a looped 12 foot wide paved drive would have to'be constructed around the sides and rear of the dwellings. The orientation of the drive, the required turning radius and the steep terrain would require significant grading operations, retaining walls and the loss of mature trees at the rear of the property. This would also leave little green space and would create significant impervious surface area. The current plan facilitates the keeping of the mature trees which increase the view shed for the properties as there is a commercial lot behind them. They also have over 700 square feet of usable open space for landscaping and recreation instead of pavement. The proposed infill development is geared towards providing accessible living for the elderly. These folks will want to enjoy the private outdoor space in the rear and not have traffic in front and in the rear of their dwellings. In addition, rear entrances would be a safety conc~rn for elderly folks. The design incorporates recessed garages with permeable concrete paved driveways for storm water infiltration and sidewalk from the public sidewalk to the front door of each unit; these ideas are being used to de-emphasize the front load garage. All of the, units will be fully ADA compliant. The target market is the elderly and those persons who are physically challenged. The development will allow for the construction of new housing that is compatible with the existing community. It will allow for the potential relocation of aging residents 3 The design of this development promotes higher density residential development that is concentrated adjacent to an established commercial area.
