Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 Telephone: (540) 853-2333 Fax: (540) 853-1138 City Web: www.roanokeva,gov June 21, 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 AnitaJ. Price, Council Member Honorable Court G. Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Amendment No: 1 - South Jefferson Area Redevelopment Plan Background: On March 12, 2001, the Board of Commissioners of the City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) approved the Redevelopment Plan for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area (Redevelopment Plan) which designated the scope and extent of a Redevelopment Project. The City Council subsequently approved the Redevelopment Plan on March 19,2001. At its meeting of May 24, 2010, the RRHA Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Amendment No. 1 to the Redevelopment Plan for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, a copy of which is attached. The RRHA Board Resolution provided that, if approved by the City Council" such Amendment No. 1 would become effective on June 30, 2010. The amendment proposes substantive amendments to certain parts of the Redevelopment Plan which have been necessitated by changes in State law including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of eminent domain, which become effective as it pertains to the Redevelopment Plan on July 1, 2010. In the future, any acquisition of property by eminent domain within the Redevelopment Area would be conducted only as permitted under current State Code, and/or other applicable laws, and would be conditioned on further action of the RRHA Board of Commissioners approving the use of eminent domain and setting out other findings required by law. The proposed amendment would remove the ''To be acquired" designation from remaining properties not currently included in a condemnation proceeding in the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, and replace it with a designation of "To be considered for acquisition." Under the amendment, RRHA would not actively seek Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June 21,2010 Pag e 2 to acquire any additional properties in the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, but would only consider acquisition of any property so designated through voluntary transactions with landowners or acquisitions at the request of landowners, subject to availability of funding from the City of Roanoke. The amendment also describes activities that have been undertaken to date under the Redevelopment Plan, and describes current conditions in the redevelopment area and ongoing revitalization and redevelopment activities undertaken by private property owners. It is desirable and appropriate that certain aspects of the Redevelopment Plan remain operative in order to control, direct, and assist the ongoing and future development of remaining parcels still in need of redevelopment. Therefore, as indicated in Amendment No.1, other provisions of the original plan, as adopted, remain in effect. Pursuant to the terms of the Redevelopment Plan, owners of property in the Redevelopment Area previously disposed of by the RRHA received a written notice, including the time and place of the City Council. meeting, regarding the proposed amendment at least thirty days prior to consideration and adoption by the City Council. Such notice was included with the notice sent by the RRHA to the owners described above. The City Council received a briefing on Amendment No.1 from RRHA's legal counsel at its June 7, 2010 meeting. Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution approving "Amendment No. 1 to Redevelopment Plan - South Jefferson Redevelopment Area." Provide that such Amendment No.1 shall become effective June 30, 2010.

INTRODUCTION On March 12, 2001, the Board of Commissioners of the City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority ("RRHA") approved the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, in which the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area was designated as a REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT under Chapter 1, Article 7, Title 36, Code of Virginia (as in effect in March 2001) because it was found to be a "blighted or deteriorated area" in need of concentrated public action in order to remove blight and blighting influences and permitproper redevelopment so as to strengthen the economic base of the City of Roanoke, Virginia. The Roanoke City Council subsequently approved the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan on March 19,2001. The problems identified in the South Jefferson Redevelopment AreaincIuded: deteriorated and dilapidated structures, deficient streets, sidewalks, and drainage, deleterious land uses, obsolete layout/faulty arrangement of design, obsolescence, flood hazards, abandoned structures, abandoned vehicles, an accumulation of debris and overgrown lots, depressed economic business activity, and a decline in the economic impacts for the City of Roanoke. Studies determined that 74.4% of the total land area, comprising 77.8% of the tax parcels, in the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area was, for one or more of the reasons set forth in the applicable statutes, either blighted and deteriorated or improperly developed, Or both. The remaining parcels were adversely affected by these conditions. The target area was designated as a Redevelopment Area for the purpose of removing blight and blighting influences and with a goal of providing for the physical and economic revitalization of the area. As explained in more detail below, efforts undertaken by RRHA under the terms of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, combined with private activities in the South Jefferson Redevelopment . Area, have resulted in substantial progress toward achieving the goals and objectives of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. RRHA is still engaged in redevelopment activities on parcels within the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, and there remains a need for targeted attention to those properties as well as to properties located in Phase 4 of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area.

This area is hereinafter referred to as the "Redevelopment Area," c. CONDITIONS REQUIRING REDEVELOPMENT AT TIME OF APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan that was approved by the Board of Commissioners of RRHA onMarch 12,2001, and approved by the Roanoke City Council on March 19,2001, sets out the conditions that were deemed to require redevelopment as of the date of the approval of the Redevelopment Plan. Section C of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan ("Conditions 6 Requiring Redevelopment") details the conditions and factors that were found to be present in the Redevelopment Area and that supported the determination that the area qualified as a "blighted or deteriorated area" eligible for redevelopment under the law in effect at the time the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan was approved. D. .REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY SINCE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The attached graphic titled "Property Transactions - South Jefferson Redevelopment Area" shows the properties acquired by RRHA and conveyed for redevelopment since the adoption of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. RRHA acquired thirty-four tax parcels located in the Redevelopment Area, comprising approximately 25 acres, more or less, through eleven (11) voluntary transactions.! These acquisitions included three of the largest parcels in the Redevelopment Area. A portion of one of these eleven parcels was deeded to the City of Roanoke for use iil connection with the Roanoke River flood reduction project. 2 All of the parcels acquired by RRHA through voluntary transactions in Phase 1 and Phase lA of the Redevelopment Area were cleared by RRHA and made available for redevelopment by private enterprise. All ofthese parcels have either been redeveloped or are currently in the process of being redeveloped by private enterprise, in conformance with the terms of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. Properties acquired by RRHA in Phase 3 of the Redevelopment Area have been sold to a private entity which, under an agreement with RRHA, has demolished the existing structures and cleared the property.3 RRHA still owns another property in Phase 3 of the Redevelopment Area, but has an agreement in place to sell that property to the same private entity once environmental remediation of the property is completed.4 Once that property is transferred to the purchaser, the purchaser will be obligated to submit a site development plan for the properties to RRHA within eighteen months of the completion of site preparation worle The acquisition, clearance and redevelopment of these properties has had a significant impact in addressing the blight conditions described above. RRHA is in the process of acquiring three parcels in the Redevelopment Area through the condemnation process.5 Condemnation of these parcels was pursued because the current owners of such parcels have I Tax Map Nos. 4040507,4040503,1031903,1032203,1031902,1032001,1031901, 1032207, 4040301 (includes tax map numbers 1032002, 1032005, 1032006, 1032101,1032102,1032103, 1032104, 1032105,1032106,4040207,4040202,4040203,4040204,4040206,4040303&4040306), 4040401 (includes tax map numbers 4030501,4040401,4040102,4040103,4040104,4040105, 4040106,4040201). RRHA also acquired a 2:645 acre tract of former railroad right of way through a transaction with Norfolk Southern Railway Co. 2 Current Roanoke City Tax Map No. 4040503R, comprising 0.3517 acres. 3 Tax Map No. 4040301 (includes tax map numbers 1032002, 1032005, 1032006, 1032101, 1032102,1032103,1032104, 1032105, 1032106,4040207,4040202,4040203,4040204,4040206, 4040303 & 4040306). 4 Tax Map No. 4040401 (includes tax map numbers 4030501,4040401,4040102,4040103, 4040104,4040105,4040106,4040201). 5 Tax Map Nos. 1032208 & 1032209 (located in Phase I of the Redevelopment Area); Tax Map No. 4030212 (located in Phase 2 of the Redevelopment Area). 7 failed to redevelop them as called for by the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. RRHA has acquired title to two of these parcels following a trial on the issue of the amount of just compensation owed, entry of a Court Order confirming the Jury Report establishing the amount of just compensation owed, and payment by RRHA of this amount into Court.6 However, post-trial and appellate proceedings have not b~en completed. Trial on the issue of just compensation owed for the third parcel is currently scheduled for September, 2010.7 The just compensation trial in that case was continued from an earlier date with a stipulation by the landowners to waive any defenses that might be asserted to the taking of the property. E. OTHER PRIVATE ACTIVITY IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA SINCE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The attached graphic titled ''Property Transactions - South Jefferson Redevelopment Area" also shows the parcels in the Redevelopment Area that have been acquired in private transactions since the date of approval of the Redevelopment Plan. Since the date of the approval of the Redevelopment Plan, roughly sixty (60) percent of the real estate transactions in the Redevelopment Area, by parcel, have been transactions between private owners in which RRHA was not involved. Much of the private owner activity has occurred in the northern portion of the Redevelopment Area, in Phase 2 and Phase 4. Several of these parcels have already been redeveloped in a manner consistent with the Redevelopment Plan (e.g., current Roanoke City Tax Map Nos. 4022001 and 4022012, which combined some fifteen tax parcels located in the Redevelopment Area into two large parcels that have been redeveloped into an ambulatory surgery center), while others have been substantially improved. In all, 26 parcels totaling approximately 13 acres, more or less, within the boundaries of the Redevelopment Area have been acquired by private entities, with no involvement by RRHA, since the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan was adopted. Additionally, two parcels in the Redevelopment Area have been redeveloped by the original Owner in conformance with the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan.s F. OTHER ACTIVITIES IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA SINCE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Other significant activities in or adjacent to the Redeve~opment Area include: I. The restoration of the Virginian Railway Passenger Station (located within the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area) is being undertaken by the Roanoke Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, in partnership with the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation. The historic structure is to be restored and returned to a combination of public and private use. Federal and State grants totaling more than $500,000 have been obtained to begin the restoration. 6 City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority v.

The scheduled demolition of the National Guard Armory and the former Parks and Recreation Department building located on property adjacent to the Redevelopment Area, as a part of the Roanoke City Parks & Recreation Master Plan. 4. The development of the Roanoke River Greenway and attendant features. G. PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES SINCE APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Substantial progress has been made toward achieving the goals and objectives set out in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. A substantial portion of the Redevelopment Area has been redeveloped so as to eliminate blight, blighting influences, deteriorating structures and deleterious land uses. Appendix A (attached and made a part of this Amended Redevelopment Plan) contains photographs showing the condition of properties in the Redevelopment Area prior to the commencement of redevelopment activities along with photographs showing the current condition of the properties after redevelopment activities. The redevelopment has proceeded in an orderly manner so as to tie the Redevelopment Area more closely to the central downtown area of the City, thereby strengthening both areas. Redevelopment focused on medicallbiomedicallbiotechnology and related uses has produced a stable mix of appropriate business which generate substantial economic value for the City of Roanoke. However, there remain some portions of the Redevelopment Area, primarily located between Williamson Road and the Roanoke River in Phase 4 of the Redevelopment Area, which continue to be in need of redevelopment, and the redevelopment of these parcels would provide additional benefits to the City of Roanoke. A number of these parcels remain in distressed condition. Purchasers of some of these parcels have approached RRHA and/or the City of Roanoke to discuss potential redevelopment of those parcels. Additionally, the existence and enforcement of the General Umd Use Plan set forth in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, and the use and enforcement of the Design Guidelines for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, have resulted in an orderly, uniform redevelopment with substantial positive benefits for the City of Roanoke. Accordingly, is it desirable and appropriate that certain aspects of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan remain operative in order to control, direct and assist development of those parcels still in need of redevelopment. Additionally, it is desirable and necessary that certain provisions of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan remain in effect in order to govern ongoing and planned redevelopment of parcels which have already been acquired by RRHA, or which RRHA is in'the process of acquiring, so that these properties will be redeveloped in an appropriate manner consistent with the intent of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan and the provisions of the Design Guidelines for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area. This includes redevelopment of the remaining property in Phase I of the Redevelopment Area which has been acquired by RRHA, but not yet redeveloped9, which is necessary in order to complete that phase of the redevelopment project, as well as redevelopment of the property to be acquired by condemnation in Phase 2 of the Redevelopment Area 10, which is a highly visible property and is in a 9 Tax Map Nos. 1032208 & 1032209. 10 Tax Map No. 4030212. 9 location that will help to tie together redevelopment activities undertaken by RRHA with development activities undertaken through private transactions. H. REDEVELOPMENT AREA TO REMAIN IN EFFECT AS DELINEATED IN ORIGINAL SOUTH JEFFERSON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The boundaries of the Redevelopment Area as established in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan shall remain unchanged. I. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TO REMAIN IN EFFECT AS TO UNDEVELOPED PARCELS The Goals and Obj ectives set forth in Section D of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan ("Statement of Goals and Objectives") are hereby reaffinned. Particularly, there is a need for continued redevelopment of the remaining undeveloped parcels in the Redevelopment Area, particularly those parcels in Phase I, Phase 2, Phase 3 (which are in the process of redevelopment), and parcels in Phase 4 which have not yet been redeveloped, in order to provide for appropriate land uses, to have such parcels redeveloped in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, to provide for an orderly development framework in order to connect the Redevelopment Area more closely to the central downtown area, and to permit improved public access to and enjoyment of the Roanoke River. J. GENERAL LAND USE PLAN TO REMAIN IN EFFECT The General Land Use Plan set forth in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan (Section E, including subsections a. though g.) shall remain in effect, and is hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth. K; REDEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES TO BE USED TO ACHIEVE PLAN OBJECTIVES Based on the substantial progress that has been made toward achieving the goals and objectives of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan since its approval, the need for continued aggressive acquisition, clearance and redevelopment of additional land within the Redevelopment Area utilizing public funds has greatly diminished. Accordingly, as of the date of the approval of this Amended Redevelopment Plan RRHA will focus on redevelopment through private transactions with owners of properties in the Redevelopment Area (either through voluntary acquisition of properties if requested or agreed to by the property owner(s) or through partnerships to support owner redevelopment of the properties). With the exception of the properties it is currently in the process of acquiring through the condemnation process, RRHA has no present plans to acquire any additional properties in the Redevelopment Area unless the acquisition is at the request of, or with the agreement of, the owner(s) of the property. With the exception of the properties it is currently in the process of acquiring through the condemnation process, RRHA does not intend at this time to use the power of eminent domain to acquire additional properties in the Redevelopment Area. However, eminent domain will be considered in very narrow circumstances as permitted under Virginia Code ~ 1-219.1, or other applicable laws, but only based on additional future action by the Board of Commissioners of RRHA. From and' after the date of approval of this Amended Redevelopment Plan, RRHA will no longer actively seek to acquire additional properties in the Redevelopment Area. However, RRHA intends to complete the acquisition of the three parcels which it is currently seeking to acquire through condemnation proceedings. The attached "Boundary & Acquisition Map" delineates the remaining properties in the Redevelopment Area which RRHA will consider for acquisition if requested or agreed to by the property 10 owner(s). RRHA will consider acquisition of additional properties in the Redevelopment Area only on the bases set forth below. . 1. Acquisition of Real Prooertv bv Use of Eminent Domain From and after the date of approval of this Amended Redevelopment Plan, property designated as property "to be considered for acquisition" on the attached Boundary & Acquisition Map will not be acquired by RRHA through the use of eminent domain except in the following limited circumstances: a. Subject to the availability of funds, RRHA may utilize eminent domain to acquire property within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," if the property is abandoned. Before eminent domain may be utilized in any such case, RRHA's Board of Commissioners must pass a resolution (i) detennining that the property is abandoned; (ii) identifying the source of the funds to be used for acquisition of the property; and (iii) authorizing the use of eminent domain. b. 'Subject to the availability of funds, RRHA may utilize eminent domain to acquire property within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," if the acquisition is needed to clear title where one of the owners agrees to such acquisition; Before eminent domain may be utilized in any such case, RRHA's Board of Commissioners must pass a resolution (i) identifying the source of the funds to be used for acquisition of the property; and (ii) authorizing the use of eminent domain. c. Subject to the availability of funds, RRHA may utilize eminent domain to acquire property within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," if the acquisition is by agreement of all the owners. Before eminent domain may be utilized in any such case, RRHA' s Board of Commissioners must pass a resolution (i) identifying the source of the funds to be used for acquisition of the property; and (ll) authorizing the use of eminent domain. d. Subject to the availability of funds, RRHA may utilize eminent domain to acquire property within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," if the property is itself a blighted property. Any such acquisition shall be conducted under, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of Virginia Code ~ 36-49. I: 1 andlor other applicable laws. 2. Voluntary Acquisition of Real ProoerlY. With the exception of the properties it is in the process of acquiring through the condemnation process, RRHA currently does not intend to acquire additional properties in the Redevelopment Area, but if approached by the owner or owners of properties in the Redevelopment Area RRHA will consider purchases of property within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," through a voluntary transaction with the owner(s) and subject to the availability of funds as appropriated by the City of Roanoke. RRHA reserves the right to initiate a request for such voluntary acquisition if RRHA's Board of Commissioners approves and authorizes such a request. 11 3. Adaptive ReuselRehabilitation. RRHA will seek to provide assistance in the adaptive reuse and renovation andlor rehabilitation of buildings (abandoned commercial/residential structures) to expand housing opportunities andlor provide for commercial reuse. Adaptive reuse and rehabilitation will only be accomplished in partnership with private investors, and if the property can be brought up to building codes and local minimum rehabilitation standards. 4. Public Facilities and Improvements. New street and drainage improvements will be constructed in accordance with specific improvements identified in the City of Roanoke's Capital Improvement Program. These improvements involve the, reconstruction of deteriorating sidewalks, streets, curbs and gutters, water and sewer improvements, new street construction, flood reduction measures, provision of landscaped open space and general aesthetic improvements in the area. Where there are street deficiencies, they will be resurfaced andlor widened. Curb and gutter and sidewalks and storm drainage ditches and piping will be provided to improve circulation and correct drainage problems and erosion. Utilities will be improved as needed throughout the Redevelopment Area. 5. Private Redevelopment of Parcels. RRHA will seek to encourage owner redevelopment of remaining properties within the Redevelopment Area that have not yet been redeveloped. RRHA will consider a plan of development by an existing property owner for the owners' properties if the proposed development plan complies with the provisions and intent ofthe Amended South Jefferson Redevelopment Area Plan. RRHA may choose to proceed in a contractual relationship with the owner to ensure a sound and wholesome development in accordance . with the Redevelopment Plan. Subject to the, availability of funds as appropriated by the City of Roanoke, RRHA will consider providing assistance to owners, in the form of loans or grants of funds, to . facilitate the construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of properties. . 6. Making Land Acquired Available for Redevelopment. IfRRHA acquires additional property in the Redevelopment Area utilizing any of the techniques set forth in this Amended Redevelopment Plan, RRHA will make that property available to private enterprise/non- government persons or entities or to public-private partnerships/joint ventures for the purposes of redevelopment. 7. Redevelooer's Obligations. The redeveloper will be subject to the following conditions which shall be implemented by appropriate covenants running with the land or other provisions in disposition instruments or loan documents. a. The redeveloper shall begin and complete the development or rehabilitation of Redevelopment Area property within the time specified in the disposition instruments or rehabilitation loan documents. b. The redeveloper shall retain all interest acquired in the property until the completion of improvements, construction and development of the property so acquired or property to be rehabilitated, pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan and shall not sell, lease or transfer the 12 interest acquired or any part thereof prior to such completion of improvements, construction and development without the consent of RRHA. c. Should the redeveloper sell or transfer the property after completion of the improvements, construction and development of the property so acquired, the redeveloper shall, prior to the closing of such transaction, provide RRHA with a written commitment from the purchaser or transferee, in a form acceptable to RRHA, confirming that the purchaser/transferee is aware of the covenants running with the land and/or other conditions set forth in the disposition instruments or loan documents referenced in subsection a, and agreeing to comply with those provisions and with all other applicable provisiOIls of the Redevelopment Plan. 8. Ofllwinl! Redevelooment. Purchasers who acquired property in the Redevelopment Area prior to the date of approval of this Amended Redevelopment Plan shall remain subject to all of the provisions of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan and this Amended Redevelopment Plan. 9. Acauisition of EasementslRight-of-Way in the Redevelopment Area. Nothing in this Amended Redevelopment Plan shall be construed to affect any rights the City of Roanoke may have to acquire easements andlor public right-of-way in the Redevelopment Area, nor shall it be construed to affect the rights of the City of Roanoke or any public service or utility company to acquire such easements or right-of-way as may be needed in order to provide necessary utility services. L. OTHER PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO MEET STATE AND LOCAL LAW I. Portions of the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, particularly the area located between Williamson Road and the Roanoke River in the northeast portion of the. Redevelopment Area, remain substandard by reason of commercial or industrial structures and improvements that are dilapidated or deteriorated, and due to obsolescence, deterioration of structures, flood hazards and other conditions detrimental to public health, safety or welfare of the citizens of Roanoke. This portion of the Redevelopment Area continues to contain "blighted property" (as that term is defined in Virginia Code ~ 36-3) and continues to be a "blighted area" (as that term is defined in Virginia Code ~ 36-3). 2. The South Jefferson Redevelopment Area is appropriate for clearance, redevelopment and rehabilitation treatment by the necessity to remove, prevent and reduce the remaining blight, blighting influences and other causes of blight. 3. Proposed land uses within the Redevelopment Area have a definite relationship with local Objectives as to the appropriate land uses and transportation, public utilities, recreation, and community facilities and other improvements. 4. The Amended Redevelopment Plan indicates the remaining properties that RRHA will consider acquiring within the Redevelopment Area. However, RRHA does' not intend to acquire any of these properties at this time, but instead will focus on redevelopment through private transactions with owners of properties in the Redevelopment Area (either through voluntary acquisition of properties if requested by the owner(s), or through partnerships to support owner redevelopment of the properties). Because RRHA does not intend to take active steps to acquire additional properties at this time, funding sources are not being identified at this time. 13 5. Funding for the acquisitions of those properties which RRHA is currently in the process of acquiring through the condemnation process has already been allocated by the City of Roanoke as a part of the budget for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, or is to be allocated from funds appropriated by the City of Roanoke for development purposes, which amounts are sufficient to cover all anticipated costs of these acquisitions. The City of Roanoke and RRHA are parties to an "Amended and Supplemented South Jefferson Cooperation Agreement 2" which, among other things, obligates the City of Roanoke to provide "all necessary and appropriate funding to enable RRHA to fulfill its obligations hereunder and to accomplish the goals and objectives set forth in the [South Jefferson Redevelopment] Plan." In March 2009, that "Amended and Supplemented South Jefferson Cooperation Agreement 2" was extended for a period of five (5) years, to and including March 18, 2014. 6. The use of eminent domain for acquisition of additional property in the Redevelopment Area will be considered only in very narrow circumstances as permitted under Virginia Code ~ 1-219.1, or other applicable laws, and only after funding sources for the acquisition have been identified and only after further action by RRHA's Board of Commissioners. 7. From and after the date of approval of this Amended Redevelopment Plan, ifRRHA acquires any additional property/properties within the Redevelopment Area, and designated as property "to be considered for acquisition," such property shall be made available to private enterprise/non- government persons or entities or to public-private partnerships/joint ventures for the purposes of redevelopment in accordance with the tenus of this Amended Redevelopment Plan. This Amended Redevelopment Plan indicates to the maximum extent possible the real property to be made available to private enterprise/non-government persons or entities, or to public-private partnerships/joint . ventures, for the purposes of redevelopment, if acquired by RRHA. 8. The Amended Redevelopment Plan clearly indicates the proposed land uses, building and rehabilitation requirements in the Redevelopment Area. 9. The Redevelopment Area was detennined to be eligible for clearance and redevelopment under Virginia Code ~~ 36-48 & 36-49. as in effect in March 2001, because the area as a whole (interpreted to mean at least 51 percent of the total area) was "blighted or deteriorated" and the remaining property either suffered from factors causing blight or from conditions which prevented property development to implement the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. Virginia Code ~ 36-3, as currently in effect, specifically provides that the term "blighted area" includes "areas previously designated as blighted areas pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1 (~ 36-1 et seq.) of this title." The South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan provided for the realization of local objectives with respect to the health, safety and welfare of the City of Roanoke as specifically set forth in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. This Amended Redevelopment Plan provides for the realization of ' local objectives with respect to health, safety and welfare of the City of Roanoke, including: a. To remove, r~duce or prevent remaining blight or blighting factors. The Redevelopment area was determined to meet the Virginia eligibility requirements (as in effect in March 2001) because 74.4 percent of the land found in the Redevelopment Area was blighted or deteriorated by reason of dilapidation and significant environmental deficiencies (lack of ventilation, light, sanitary facilities, overcrowding, flooding, deleterious land use and faulty arrangement or design) and was detrimental to public health, safety or welfare. Studies showed that at the time the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan was approved, 77.8% percent of tbe parcels in the redevelopment area were blighted by virtue of dilapidation or environmental deficiencies, and that the remaining areas were adversely affected by 14 factors causing blight and prevented the proper development of property. Properties in the Redevelopment Area which have been acquired by RRHA, but which have not yet been fully redeveloped, include parcels deemed to be blighted or deteriorated at the time the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan was approved. Additionally, the remaining parcels in Phase 4 of the Redevelopment Area which have not yet been redeveloped include parcels that were deemed to be "blighted or deteriorated" at the time the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan was approved. Observations and inspections by RRHA's staff indicate that virtually all of these properties remain "blighted or deteriorated," with many having deteriorated further since March 2001. b. To protect economic values and tax revenue by the upgrading of a blighted and economically depressed area of the City of Roanoke, Virginia. The Redevelopment Area was considered depressed because of declining employment and depressed wages in comparison to City business overall. The area also suffered from an inability to generate economic growth and value output demonstrated with declining revenues and declining labor income and employment over the previous years. The effects contributed to business closings, relocations from the area and/or lower gross revenues over an extended period. The elimination of blighted properties and provision of both direct and indirect public incentives for private reinvestment in the Redevelopment Area has promoted economic and employment growth and enhanced tax revenues for the City of Roanoke for the overall benefit of the community. However, further benefits could be realized through the completion of redevelopment activities currently underway in the Redevelopment Area (including the redevelopment of property acquired by RRHA, but not yet,redeveloped, and the redevelopment of property which RRHA is in the process of acquiring), and there is potential for additional benefits from appropriate, directed redevelopment of undeveloped properties in Phase 4 of the Redevelopment Area in accordance with the terms of this Amended Redevelopment Plan. c. To facilitate the development of land inhibited by diverse ownership. Small individual property ownership and railroad property that transverses the area made it difficult for private enterprise to assemble sufficient parcels for redevelopment and to overcome basic problems of blight and deterioration in the area. Although substantial progress has been made in eliminating these conditions, the effects of diverse ownership of small parcels can still be seen, particularly in Phase 4 of the Redevelopment Area. d. To make land available for sound wholesome development by private enterprise, or by public/private partnerships or joint ventures, in accordance with' the Amended Redevelopment Plan and consistent with: 1) Definite Local Objectives As To: a) Appropriate Land Uses The Amended Redevelopment Plan has a definite relationship with local objectives as to appropriate land uses and transportation, public utilities, recreation, and community facilities and other improvements. 15 . b) Improved Streets and Internal Circulation Improved bridges, road alignments, property access, widths and roadway surfaces throughout the area will eliminate street deficiencies still existing in parts of the Redevelopment Area and improve circulation, ingress and egress for the area and, connectivity with adjoining neighborhoods such as Old Southwest, Downtown Roanoke and Belmont. c) Public Utilities Improved utilities will assure that the area will be provided with adequate sewers and water service, storm drainage, power and advanced technology-telecommunication systems. d) F]ood Impact Reduction Application of the City of Roanoke's floodplain regulations for new developments, adaptive reuses, and rehabilitation will reduce flood damage and mitigate flood problems within existing buildings on parcels that have not yet been redeveloped. e) Community Facilities and Other Public Improvements Aesthetic and functional improvements will include public open space and parks, improved sidewalks, bicycle and jogging paths and related enhancements such as street trees, lighting and landscaping. Landscaping and lighting requirements are also directly associated with private redevelopment efforts to improve the overall aesthetic nature and character of area properties. 2) Conditions and Limitations on Property Acquisition Conditions and limitations on future acquisitions of property within the Redevelopment Area, if any, including limitations on the use of eminent domain, are set forth above in Section K of this Amended Redevelopment Plan (and are reiterated in Section L.6 of this Amended Redevelopment Plan). An agreement shall be executed between RRHA and the owner(s) of any property desiring assistance from, or participation by, RRHA in pursuing owner redevelopment to ensure compliance of development proposals with this Amended Redevelopment Plan. 3) Proposed Land Uses for Acquired Property: Land uses proposed for property to be acquired are set forth in Section E.2. Land Use Provisions and Building Requirements of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan and shown on the Proposed Land Use Map, dated January 5,2001, included in the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, all of which is incorporated by reference into this Amended Redevelopment Plan. 16 4) Conditions and Limitation Including Time, Under Which Additional Property Acquired by RRHA, if Any, Shall be Made Available: At the time property is made available for rehabilitation or redevelopment by public or private enterprise and/or public/private partnerships or joint ventures, RRHA shall stipulate in disposition instruments that such rehabilitation or redevelopment treatment shall be completed within a reasonable time. (Reasonable time is under normal circumstances construed to mean not more than eighteen months from the date of conveyance of property, but RRHA reserves the right to utilize different or longer time periods based on the characteristics of the property, the nature of the proposed redevelopment, and/or other relevant factors.) Other conditions and limitations are set forth in Section E.2 of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan, which is incorporated by reference into this Amended South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan. 5) Standards of Design, Construction, Maintenance, Use and Other Measures to Eliminate and Prevent Blight: Such standards are embodied in Section E and F of the of the original South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan and the Design Guidelines for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area, all of which are incorporated by reference. Where adaptive reuse is not appropriate or feasible, clearance is proposed in order to assure removal of existing physical and environmental causes of blight and to provide for the public improvements required to serve the area. and prevent the recurrence of blighting conditions resulting from adverse environmental factors. 6) Relocation Assistance Plan for Displaced Businesses and Non-Profit Organizations: RRHA will offer relocation assistance and services as required under Virginia's Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1972, as amended (hereafter referred to as "the Act"), and the related sections of the Virginia Administrative Code. (hereafter referred to as "the Code") to businesses and nonprofit organizations that are to be displaced as a result of approved redevelopment activities. The Act and the Code are the basis for this relocation plan and where this Amended Redevelopment Plan is in conflict with the Act or the Code, the Act or the Code shall govern. M. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASERS AS TO PROPERTY ACQUIRED PRIOR TO EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Nothing in this Amended Redevelopment Plan shall be construed to alter, amend or modify in any way the obligations of purchasers of any property in the Redevelopment Area acquired from RRHA prior to the effective date of this Amended Redevelopment Plan. All such obligations, including all contractual obligations set forth in any agreement for purchase of the property and all obligations set forth in any deed or other disposition documents, shall remain in full force and effect. Additionally, nothing in this Amended Redevelopment Plan shall be construed to alter, amend, modify or impair any rights or remedies which RRHA has, whether contractual or otherwise, with regard to any 17 property in the Redevelopment Area acquired by RRHA and conveyed to a third party for use in accordance with the South Jefferson RedevelopmentPlan. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of the original Redevelopment Plan for the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area and this Amended Redevelopment Plan, then they shall be construed insofar as possible to be consistent, but if this is not possible then the provisions of this Amended Redevelopment Plan shall govern. N. PROCEDURES FOR AMENDMENTS This Amended Redevelopment Plan may be amended from time to time upon compliance with the requirements of law and outstanding covenant rights, provided that prior to the passage of any resolution amending the Amended Redevelopment Plan the owner of any land in the Redevelopment Area previously disposed of by RRHA for use in accordance with the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan andlor the Amended Redevelopment Plan shall be sent written notice stating when and where the Roanoke City Council will consider any resolution enacting such amendment(s), and shall further advise where a copy of the proposed amendment(s) and a precise description of the proposed change(s) may be inspected. Such written notice shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the consideration of any such resolution by the Roanoke City Council.

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 Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) Loan Extension for Roanoke At Home Limited Partnership Background: In 1991, City Council approved loaning $145,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to assist Total Action Against Poverty (TAP) in purchasing and rehabilitating properties to provide Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing for homeless individuals. The loan was amortized over 30 years at an interest rate of one percent (1.0%), with sixteen (16) annual payments of $5,618.47', followed by a final balloon payment of $73,791.75. Roanoke At Home Limited Partnership (the LP) was formed to rehabilitate the five structures, including obtaining federal low-income housing tax credits to assist with development financing. TAP Housing Corporation, which became Blue Ridge Housing Development Corporation (BRH), was the general partner. The LP assumed the obligations of the Notes and Deeds of Trust securing the loan, while TAP has remained liable on the notes, and has been making the annual payments. In December 2008, the City billed the LP for the final balloon payment. On February 6, 2009, BRH requested an extension of the balloon payment. BRH explained that it lacked sufficient funds at that time for the entire balloon payment and offered to make a 17th payment at the annual rate of $ 5,618.47, with the $68,173.31 balance to be paid in January 2010, when it reached the end of the 15- year tax credit compliance period and intended to sell the properties. At its meeting on May 18, 2009, City Council approved modifying the loan agreement to provide the requested extension. Honorable Mayor and Members of City CounGil JUl1e 21, 2010 Page 2 On December 31, 2009, the City billed for the balloon payment. On January 28, 2010, BRH responded that its board was meeting on February 11 th to discuss the matter and asked that it be allowed to hold that meeting and to respond further or remit payment on February 15th. On February 26, 2010, BRH requested forgiveness of the loan, including a request that TAP be released as loan guarantor, indicating that BRH would continue operating the units as affordable housing for the very low income population for the next 15 years. BRH explained that its review of the tax credit partnership agreements had disclosed this additional 15-year period following the 15-year compliance period, during which the properties were required to continue' providing housing for persons at or below 50% of medium income. BRH indicated that this restriction precluded its ability to sell the properties as had been intended. Considerations: The Administration declined the BRH request for forgiveness of the loan and asked that BRH and TAP present other options. On April 6th, City staff met with BRH and TAP to discuss the additional options. Based on these discussions, the City, BRH and TAP achieved a mutually agreeable tentative resolution, subject to Council . approval, to reschedule the remaining debt of the. five property notes, totaling $68,173.31, to be amortized over fifteen (15) years beginning December 15, 2010. Interest at the rate of one percent (1 %) per annum will apply to the unpaid principle. , Recommended Action: Authorize the execution of necessary and appropriate documents, including, but not limited to, a Second Modification Agreement between the City, TAP and the LP, and associated Second Amended Notes and amortization schedules, such Second Amended Notes to be secured by recorded Deeds of Trust, similar in form and content to the attached documents, in order to reschedule the funds due. All of the documents to be executed by the parties shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney. C ristopher P. Morrill City Manager c: Stephanie M. Moon, City Clerk William M.

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Roanoke Police Academy Background: In 1986, Congress authorized the transfer of certain federally forfeited property to state and local law enforcement agencies that participated in the investigation and seizure of the property. This Federal Asset Sharing Program regularly provides the Police Department with funding that must be used for approved expenditures that enhance the department's ability to provide for the public safety. One such approved expense type is construction costs for law enforcement training facilities. The recently completed Roanoke Police Academy was partially funded with $1.3 million of funding received through the Federal Asset Forfeiture Program. During the construction process for the new Police Academy, it was realized that a significant upgrade to the standard teacher/student learning technology was desirable and necessary. The advanced technologies selected to address these needs allow for increased interaction between student and instructor and allow the academy staff to provide off site learning opportunities that will enhance the ability of the department to attract outside agencies to participate in training events and virtual training experiences. The acquisition of these advanced technologies along with modifications to construction needed to accommodate these technologies caused an increase in the original construction budget beyond the appropriated contingency funding and the appropriated Federal Asset Forfeiture funding. To balance the construction Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June 21,2010 Page 2 budget and complete the purchase of the advanced technologies, an additional appropriation from the Federal Asset Forfeiture accounts is required. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance that transfers $129,625 from Federal Asset Forfeiture account number 35-640-3304-9015 to Police Academy Building account number 08-530-9823-9002 to provide the required funding. ristopher P.

This revenue is distributed monthly based on tax receipts and a distribution formula established in Code of Virginia 9 56-484.12-17. This formula distributes revenue based on costs to provide wireless 911 service and call volume and is recalculated annually. The adopted FY 2009-2010 City's Wireless E-911 revenue budget is $600,000. Considerations: This funding can be used to support operating and capital expenses. City Council action is needed to approve the transfer of $150,100 of this funding from the Wireless E-911 budget to support the 911 System Upgrades and replacement of 911 wireless equipment.

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: School General Fund Budget Revisions On May 11, 2009, City Council adopted the annual budget for School General, Food Service and Athletics Funds for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2010. On June 9, 2009, School Board also adopted the 2009-2010 Line Item Budget for the School General, Food Service and Athletics Funds. Two items were included within the School Board FY10 adopted budget that have not been adopted by City Council. Because the legal level of budget adoption is made by City Council, it is necessary to incorporate these items now. Roanoke City Schools Administration respectfully requests City Council take the following actions to approve items included within the FY1 0 budget: · Appropriate $1.1 million from undesignated fund balance to support the FY10 School General Fund budget. This amount supports various functions and activities of RCPS in FY10. · Record a contra-revenue (negative revenue) of $1 million to reflect Roanoke City Public School's preferred means of presenting its General Fund support of the School Athletics Fund. Rather than present a transfer to other funds in its expenditure accounts, RCPS chooses to present a contra-revenue account to reflect the level of support. · Increase School General Fund appropriations by $100,000. This amount is the net effect of the two aforementioned items: the use of fund balance to support the FY10 General Fund is an increase in appropriations by $1.1 million, and similar as reported within its revenues, Roanoke City Public Schools elects to Honorable Mayor and Members of Council June21,2010 Page 2 present the General Fund support of its Athletic Fund as a contra-expenditure of $1 million. This reduction in expenditure effectively removes the Athletic Fund support from the School General Fund. . For external finanCial reporting purposes, Roanoke City Public Schools will report Athletics as part of its General Fund. Therefore, while this treatment is not in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), it is not expected to have audit ramifications. . The action requested in this report will align the Roanoke City Public Schools General Fund budget previously adopted by City Council with the School Board adopted General Fund budget of $143,033,454 including the appropriation of Undesignated Fund Balance. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to reflect the appropriation of School General Fund fund balance and to create contra revenue and contra expenditure accounts as previously described.

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Sale of City-Owned Property Tax Map#2212317 Former Fire Station #5 Background: On May 17, 2010, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the disposition of City Fire Station #5 located at 2161ih Street, Tax Map #2212317 to Rebuilding Together Roanoke. This station will close with .the opening of the new fire station at 20th Street, N.W. and Melrose Avenue, N.W.. During the public hearing the City Council received comment on three proposals received by the City administration regarding the purchase of the property, as outlined below: ,. o Mr. Jamie Brads, owner, Blue Ridge Rescue Supply - Initially Mr. Brads had proposed to acquire the fire station in order to provide a location to renovate and restore fire equipment and apparatus, and offered $15,000.00. During the public hearing, Mr. Brads amended his offer to $25,000.00, and stated that his intentions were to move his .fire gear cleaning business into the City to be located at the former station. o Rebuilding Together Roanoke (RTR) - RTR is a non-profitlnon-sectarian organization which provides support to low-income families and elderly/disabled homeowners to renovate and repair their homes. RTR has been a long-time partner with the City and the Roanoke The Honorable Mayor and City Council June 21,2010 Page 2 Redevelopment and Housing Authority in community development and neighborhood improvement projects, and is currently active in the Hurt Park neighborhood revitalization project. RTR has no current central location of operation and administration, using multiple locations for administrative, storage, and operational support. During the public hearing, seven speakers spoke in support of the RTR proposal to purchase the former fire station from the City to provide headquarters / office space for the organization and storage of building materials and supplies. The RTR offer was initially, and remains, $12,768.00. o Que House, Inc. / Gamma Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, Inc. - Que House, Inc.'s origin,al proposal to the City was to purchase the property in order to establish a meeting place and office space to plan, implement and carry out many of its existing philanthropic and community based programs. Que House has no current permanent location of operations. The original offer for the property was $10.00. During the public hearing, three speakers spoke in support of the proposal, and at which time, the Chapter amended is original offerto $15,000.00. At the end of public comment, given the absence of one City Council member and receipt of new information at the public hearing, the Council continued action on this matter until its June 21,2010 meeting. Considerations: As previously discussed with City Council, the disposition of public property is not an act governed by the Code of Virginia as it pertains to public procurement. Therefore, while the City Council is not bound to accept the highest financial offer/proposal, when considering multiple offers, it should weigh the overall components of the offers received as to which offer is comprehensively in the City's best interest as referenced by: o the proposal's relationship to supporting a City initiative or program; o the proposal's advancement or support of a community development service or objective; o the proposal's impact on the City's jobs and/or tax base; o the proposal's impact on the surrounding neighborhood or its citizens; and o the proposal's impact on future City operational costs Under the Constitution of Virginia, the disposition of public property requires a public hearing, and an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the Council members. In this case, with the Mayor abstaining from participation in this matter given his affiliation with RTR, the fire station property can only be disposed of with the c The Honorable Mayor and City Council June 21,2010 Page 3 unanimous vote of the six remaining City Council members. The public hearing that was held, and the motion which was tabled, pertained to the sale of the property to RTR. Should the City Council determine its intent to dispose of the property to another entity, the City Attorney has advised the administration that the City Council would need to hold a subsequent public hearing on the proposed disposition to that potential purchaser.

Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Mill Mountain Conservation Easement The City of Roanoke proposes to grant a conservation easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust on a portion of the approximately 568 acre City-owned Mill Mountain property. Two alternative deeds of gift of easement have been drafted that contain the same provisions as to restrictions, terms, and conditions related to the content of the deed and differ only in relationship to the total acreage of Mill Mountain that is covered by such deed. The initially proposed deed would cover approximately 539.13 acres of the mountain. The alternative deed would cover approximately 537.27 acres. The difference in acreage between the two deeds relates to an approximately two acre portion of the northwest facing summit of Mill Mountain. The alternative deed would not include this portion of the mountain summit within the conservation easement area, resulting in a total of approximately 30.72 acres at the top of Mill Mountain excluded from the conservation easement. The excluded area in both deeds generally cOvers the location of the Mill Mountain Zoo, Discovery Center, the Mill Mountain Star and associated overlooks, and other accessory functions and uses such as surface parking lots, picnic shelters and the like located on the mountain summit. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June 21,2010 Pag e 2 The Deed of Gift of Easement, copies of the two alternatives which are attached, outlines' the purpose and intent of the easement, and also contains provisions related to forest management, public and private roads and utilities, use of property for permitted activities, grading, blasting and mining, riparian buffers, size of future buildings, structures and signs, and maintenance of existing structures and features within the easement area. The deed also outlines the roles and responsibilities of the City as grantor, and of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and Western Virginia Land Trust as grantees. The easement is perpetual as to its duration. The City Council received a detailed briefing on the content of the proposed deed of easement during its June 7, 2010, meeting. Recommendation: Upon Closing of the public hearing and consideration of comments received, authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to execute and attest, respectively, in a form approved by the City Attorney, a Deed of Gift of Easement (either the initially proposed or alternative) from .the City , of Roanoke to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust.

Proposal of the City of Roanoke to grant a conservation easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust on a portion of the approximately 56B-acre City-owned Mill Mountain Property. Statement of Council Member Rupert Cutler Mayor and colleagues: As you know, I am a professional wildlife biologist. I have devoted my life to saving wilderness and protecting wildlife habitat. In years past I have led campaigns to pass the national Wild Rivers Act, add millions of acres of federal land to the National Wilderness Preservation System, and win the return of the gray wolf to the Yellowstone ecosystem. More recently, I was the founding executive director of the Roanoke-based Western Virginia Land Trust. I have served for eight years as a trustee of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, a state agency that holds over 3,000 easements on 600,000 acres of now-protected open space in our Commonwealth including our own municipal watershed at Carvins Cove. I say this to put my position on the proposed Mill Mountain conserVation easement into context. No one can say in truth that I do not love nature or that I wish to harm the Mill Mountain ecosystem. I strongly support our adoption of the Mill Mountain conservation easement identified as the "Alternative Proposal" which provides for a deed of gift of easement to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust to protect the undeveloped 537-acre majority portion of our 56B-acre Mill Mountain Park from adverse development in the future. There is a difference of less than two acres between the "Alternative Proposal" and the "Original Proposal." Those two acres-an attractive grassy swale with some trees, adjacent to the paved walkway from the Discovery Center to the secondary overlook on the summit-has become the focal point of a disagreement because an informal group called Valley Forward identified that location as a possible site for a restaurant. The plan was "run up the flagpole," very few people saluted, and the proposal has no official standing. Yet, the concern remains that something may be built there. Those who oppose the restaurant idea are urging us to adopt the so- called "Original Proposal" boundary that includes the two-acre site because they are convinced that our doing so will prevent future construction there. Let me address that notion. Under the terms of either easement, buildings and structures individually exceeding 1,500 square feet in size can be built within the land under conservation easement with the prior review and written approval of the boards of trustees of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust. Those two bodies would have to conclude that such construction would not impair the conservation value of the property. They could do that. A conservation easement is not a wilderness designation. Conservation easements are designed to have some flexibility to allow for unforeseen future needs. Conservation easements are written specifically to exclude known plans to widen nearby roads, railroads, and utility rights of way. The proposal to build on this two-acre tract, though it has no official standing, is the same kind of issue. The land trusts are not interested in being parties to a controversy that should be resolved by the local elected officials on Roanoke City Council. With respect to the incline-reconstruction right of way issue, it is my opinion that neither land trust board would be enthusiastic about including a provision allowing for such construction. In my view, we should be able to learn from experience and not build another "white elephant" public works project that the City would end up footing the bill for. I see no reason to make a change in the easement to allow for an incline. I recommend that public transit access to the Mill Mountain summit be provided by buses or rubber-tired trolleys from parking lots on Reserve Avenue on days when high attendance at the zoo or other summit event is anticipated, just as we provide shuttle service to the Civic Center for sell-out events. I urge my colleagues to vote for the "Alternative Proposal" without amendment. Thank you. Final 8:38 a.m. 21 June 2010 MA VOR BOWERS and Members of Roanoke City Council: My name is: Whitney Feldmann and I live at 2932 Lockridge Road. ! :1' am here this evening representing Mill Mountain Garden Club which has a oniqu~ interest in the conservation of Mill Mountain Park. In 1971, at the behest -"- - - \ of Roanoke City MMGC established and continues to maintain the Wildflower Garden that sits between the Discovery Center and the Zoo. More than 50,000 club member hours of work have cultivated, nurtured and expanded this treasure. Therefore, our Club has adopted a resolution in support of the conservation easement. A copy of the following letter dated June 15, 2010 was mailed to each of you. It states as follows: . ,'. '" June 15,2010 Dear Members of the Roanoke City Council: The membership of the Mill Mountain Garden Club recently adopted a resolution in support of a Conservation Easement on the slopes and sides of Mill Mountain Park. The Resolution states as follows: BE IT RESOL VED: MILL MOUNTAIN GARDEN CLUB URGES ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON THE SLOPES AND SIDES OF MILL MOUNAIN PARK EXCLUDING THOSE AREAS OF THE MOUNTAIN TOP THAT ARE CURRENTLY' DEVELOPED. MMGC was founded in 1927 and currently has 90 members. It is affiliated with the state-wide Garden Club of Virginia and the national Garden Club of America. Our Club's stated purpose is "to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment...in t~e fields of conservation, civic improvement and horticulture." In addition, MMGC, at the behest of the City of Roanoke, established and maintains the Wildflower Garden on the summit of Mill Mountain. The Wildflower Garden has received The Founder's Fund Award, a national award from the Garden Club of America, in recognition of its educational and conservation value. The garden has walking paths and is open free to the public throughout the year. It clearly coincides with the Mill Mountain Park Management Plan that cites the prevailing sentiment of our citizens to preserve the natural park land of the mountain as well as the original intent of the Fishburn Family when they transferred the property to the City, as expressed in the deeds that the land was to be: "forever preserved, improved and maintained for the use and pleasure of the people of the City of Roanoke, Virginia and vicinity as a public park". Therefore, we urge City Council to support the grant of a Conservation Easement as proposed in our resolution. Thank You. Respectively, Anne Jennings President, MMGC Whitney Feldmann Conservation Co Chair Janet Frantz Conservation Co Chair ~ ~WJLLlS~ ..,.L r1 . ~uA ff-' I Good evening, Mayor Bowers and other distinguished members of this Council. First, thank you for the consideration of, and hopefully approval of, the conservation easement on most of the acreage of Mill Mountain Park. Secondly, I want to advocate for inclusion in the easement the approximately 3 steeply sloped acres on the summit, the boundary known as the blue line. Everyone who has opinions about this easement and its boundaries wants the same thing for Roanoke - a thriving, progressive city of the new economy, a place widely known for our quality of life. The question of the hour is whether the possibility of commercial development - ever - on the summit of Mill Mountain Park can be a tool in support of this shared vision. I join many other citizens who support the blue line in saying NO, that commercial development in our flagship city park will never support that VISIon. Mill Mountain Park is our best public green space, and the summit is the best of the best, a remarkable amenity for any city to have. It is our responsibility not to squander it through magical thinking It is magical thinking that tries to convince you and other citizens that allowing for commercializing a public park's mountain summit is reflective of a bold vision or a progressive identity. It is magical thinking that speculative development in city park space can ever benefit our citizens or define our city in a positive manner. There have been over 40 commercial development proposals for Mill Mountain's summit over the past 100 years or so. Only one ever came to fruition, the romanticized Rockledge Inn, which was an abysmal business failure. Trying to re- frame that failure into something worthy of replication is a product of the worst kind of magical thinking. There are those who will support their magical thinking, and try to engage you to join them in magical thinking, by telling a tired old story designed to induce fear. That story is that those who want the blue line boundary are just opposed to change, or that we should be dismissed as an odd, dated, and aging minority who are ' out of touch with demographic and fiscal reality.. Wrong! We've done our homework. We know that progressive cities of the new economy place the highest value on their green space, and they expand it whenever possible, and they protect their green space because they recognize it as an attracting amenity, a resource that is not to be squandered. A commercial presence can happen anywhere, but a mountain summit cannot be re-created. After over 100 attempts, and one collossal failure, it's time to accept that commercial development simply is not viable or right for the summit of Mill Mountain Park. I encourage you to take the bold action, the forward-thinking ac;tion, the change-oriented action in a world that gobbles and de-values green space. I ask you to refuse to be seduced by magical thinking. I ask you to approve the blue line easement boundary. ~- <' Mayor Bowers and Members of Council, I appear before you now as a citizen with 17 years of continuous active involvement with the development and conservation of Mill Mountain, and as an attorney with 27 years' experience in real estate and land use. I oppose the use of an easement to manage the public lands on Mill Mountain. First, the easement affects only the slopes of Mill Mountain, which have almost never been the subject of proposed development, but offers no protection at all for the summit, which has been and will continue to be a magnet for the latest and greatest new idea. The easement will therefore do nothing to stop future controversy surrounding development of the mountain. Instead, it will simply add another layer of arguments. In future decades and centuries, in addition to arguing about the meaning of the restrictions of the Fishburn grant, the Mill Mourltain Park Management Plan, and the City's zoning ordinance, we will add controversy over the meaning of undefined terms used in the proposed easement, such_ as: "small-scale incidental commercial operations," "processing and sale of products produced on the Property/' "temporary or seasonal outdoor activities/' and "material timber harvest." Second, in my opinion, it is fundamentally poor management of public lands for one government to give land to another government agency to protect ourselves from ourselves. In perpetuity; we will spend state tax dollars to pay the Virginia Outdoor Foundation and the Western Virginia Land Trust to police our use of Mill Mountain, just to be sure that we're not cheating on ourselves. Finally, This is one of the few actions this Council can take that is simply irreversible. If the community unanimously agreed that it was a perfect idea to install an incline, or to remediate the non-sanitary landfill on the northeast slope of Mill Mountain, or to place some improvement that hasn't yet been invented, too bad. If we didn't think about it, or imagine it,and include it in this document, it can't ever be done. I urge you not, to support this easement, at least not in its current form. More information, thought and public input needs to be brought into this process to avoid an outcome that we will regret. Perhaps not 50 or 75 years from now, but 100 years or 500 years from now. " .' Mayor Bowers and Members of Council} It is my privilege to appear before you now one final time as Chair of the Mill Mountain Development Committee. As I have previously communicated to you} the members of the Committee voted} 6-2} to support generally the concept ofa conservation easement 'on the slopes of Mill Mountain. The memb~rs of the Committee also voted} 5-3} in favor of the UOriginalJl easement} the larger area that would include the approximately 2.8 acres that has been recently proposed for development. ffiOvvj O'Sh~ Statement for City Council about Mill Mountain June 21,2010 Mary Bishop, 2311 Kipling St. SW, Roanoke 24018/540/343-5080 I have a footnote to add to the discussion about Mill Mountain. Roanoke was blessed in 1907 and again in 1928 when pioneering American urban planner John Nolen visited our city. He drew up elaborate designs for how Roanoke could capitalize on its natural beauty. Nolen, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a visionary, a national treasure who advised many of our nation's great cities. He urged Roanoke to preserve the banks of the Roanoke River and to create a riverside park system very much like today's greenways. In all the cities evaluated by Nolen, he urged the Uadequate control of private development" Here in Roanoke, he said it was "urgent" that we protect Mill Mountain. He called it Uthe sentinel that overshadows the city." "It is imperative," Nolen wrote in 1907, "that the people possess this mountain, both for recreation purposes and because of its direct relation to the Crystal Spring and the city's water supply. uThere is an opportunity," he went on, "to make of it a public park that will rival in beauty, charm and value tMt. Royal' in Montreal, known as one of the best works of Frederick Law Olmsted." (Olmsted, the father of landscape architecture, had been one of Nolen's teachers at Harvard.) Roanoke was a very young city in 1907. But Nolen assured our leaders that it was not an ordinary place. "Because of the rich gifts of nature it may possess a system of parks and pleasure grounds that will raise it permanently and securely beyond most cities of its class." And so here we are today. We can't know this, of course, but if he were back among us, I'll bet John Nolen would be here rallying for the blue line. As am I. ~~ IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA, The 21st day of June, 2010. No. 38863-062110. AN ORDINANCE authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents providing for the conveyance of a 3.0 acre portion of City-owned property, otherwise know as Buena Vista Center, bearing Official Tax No. 4130501, to Scott and Ascension Horchler, upon certain terms and conditions; and dispensing with the second reading by title of this ordinance.

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 Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Sale of a 3 Acre City-Owned Property ~ Former Buena Vista Center Background: Scott and Ascension Horchler have submitted a proposal to purchase a three-acre parcel of City-owned property fronting approximately 373 feet along the southern line of Morningside Street, S.E., which contains the former Buena Vista Recreation Center. The offer is $75,000, which is less than its appraised value of $250,000, which was based on the property's former use as a recreation center. However, this does not take in to account a projected cost to restore the building which was performed in 2003 by Spectrum Design. Estimated cost of repairs was over $285,000. In present 2010 dollar value, based on the Consumer Price Index, the total cost for the same repairs would be over $335,000. Given the proposed change in use of the property and the fact that it has been marketed for sale for some period of time, staff recommends acceptance of this offer. A sales contract has been developed which would convey the property to the Horchlers under certain terms and conditions, as well as authorize conveyance of an easement to the Horchlers across City~owned property for ingress and egress between the three-aCre parcel to be conveyed and Penmar Avenue. Honorable Mayor and Members of CitY Council June21,2010 Pag e 2 Purchaser agrees to develop and use the Property in conformance with the following restrictions; · The Property shall be used primarily as a single-family residence, but may be used for other uses as permitted by the zoning of the property · Any renovations to the Property shall be undertaken in conformance with standards appropriate to its status as a National and Virginia Historic Landmark. · The building on the property known as Buena Vista shall not be demolished or removed, in whole or in part, without the prior approval of Seller. · The Property shall not be subdivided or sold in fee other than as a single parcel, without the prior approval of Seller. · In the event that Purchaser has not commenced renovations to the Property in an amount of at least $75,000.00, within twelve (12) months of Closing, Seller shall have the right to demand that the Purchaser convey the Property back to Seller. In such event, Purchaser shall deed the Property back to Seller free and clear of all liens and seller shall return the Purchase Price to Purchaser. In such event, Seller shall be entitled to a deduction for reasonable rent for the time that Purchaser owned the property, and a deduction for any damages that may have been caused the Property. Utilities and taxes shall be prorated as of the date of the reconveyance of the Property to Seller. The purchasers having prior experience in historic restorations and having undertaken some initial due diligence regarding the condition of the property, met with the Southeast Action Forum on Wednesday, June 2, 2010, to introduce themselves, outline their plans for the property and to answer questions from the community. In addition, the purchasers have extensively researched the history of the property with the assistance of Virginia Departments of Historic Resources and other local sources of historic information. The Property is zoned Recreation and Open Space (ROS) as defined by the City of Roanoke Zoning Ordinance. As such, use of the property contemplated by Purchaser, such as using the property for single family \' Honorable Mayor and Members of Gity Council June 21,2010 Pag e 3 residential use, or such as hosting wedding receptions, and other such events, will require an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map. Closing is contingent upon Purchaser successfully having the property rezoned. Disposition of this property at the offered value to the' Horchlers will relieve the City of current and future cost of maintenance to this structure, and result in the rehabilitation of the property and placement in a taxable status. Proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the Economic and Community Development Reserve. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a sales contract, substantially similar in form to the one attached, and any other appropriate documents, approved as to form by the City Attorney, necessary to transfer three acres and the former Buena Vista Center to Scott and Ascension Horchler for $75,000, and conveyance of an easement to the Horchlers across City-owned property for ingress and egress between the three-acre parcel to be conveyed and Pen mar Avenue. fully submitted, 1Z Christopher P.

You can see its shining colors of red blue & white. Beneath this mount of grandeur is a place that so austere. When you look around its streets forlorn it may even bring a tear. Houses from times gone by that were uniquely made, having stood the test of time throughout the years have stayed. A place time has forgotten with some homes that once were fair but through the years have fallen to a state of disrepair. When you walk along it's byways you can travel back in time with its homogeneous people living there of different kinds. In our park there is the Big House with its special stately frame but when you look upon its countenance it brings a sense of shame. But an era of revival have begun to reemerge, our neighborhood is changing for the better than for the worse. A little band of people that are of one accord, have purposed in their hearts and minds to make a dream go forward. Changes are a coming to our home beneath the star; things are looking brighter with what's been done thus far. May our star forever brightly burn throughout the evening sky and may it lift our spirits to the place that is on high; a shining light that all can see a light of hope for you and me, for our home beneath the star. ~ ( rJ- DO; J CM "~.'''-"-' ACT ION FOR U M ~~-"~;">;-~~<;;"::':.~_ ;~<f-<", ,''-:, . ._;;:~, ~....~ 1015 Jamisonjlvenue srE (j@anok.!, 'Va. 24013 June 21, 2010 City Manager, Chris Morrill City Mayor, David Bowers City Council Members 215 Church Avenue, S.W. Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building Roanoke, VA 24011 Dear Mr. Morrill, Mr. Bowers and City Council, As the President of the South East Action Forum, I am writing to give our groups official comments on the sale of the Buena Vista Mansion. I appreciate that you rescheduled the public hearing so that residents that work would be able to attend. First, after meeting the Horchlers and getting a chance to ask their plans for the Buena Vista Mansion, the SEAF members would like to support their effort to purchase the mansion. Our hope is that they will be good stewards and good neighbors for the SE community. We also would like to be kept in the loop of information in regards to whether the Horchlers are following through with the conditions of the sales contract. We believe it is important to monitor the progress of the renovations to insure that this community asset is restored and not let to continue to deteriorate. Next, our members would like express how sad we are to see a community asset that has been utilized by the public for decades pass into the private sector, largely due to neglect. We understand that today we are faced with major budget constraints, however Buena Vista has been neglected for many years not just the last few. We feel that before taking on multiple new projects that the city should be better stewards of the properties it already owns. Finally, our members would like to show our disappointment that the city has not kept the community involved in decisions that directly affect our neighborhoods. We believe we should not find out about city decisions from the press. The RNA was established for the purpose of keeping our neighborhoods informed of problems and events that will directly affect us. The Roanoke Neighborhood Advocates Committee is requesting that the city change its process in - how it collaborates with our neighborhoods. At times it seems like the city is more concerned about.disruption in its plans and therefore gives the public a chance to input last, rather than be a part of the process from the beginning. The RNA thinks that allowing neighborhoods to be a part of the process from the beginning will allow changes to be easier. The SEAF agrees and ask that you work with the RNA to better serve our community groups. In conclusion, the SEAF is optimist that the sale of Buena Vista will be a pivotal turning point for the SE community. If the Horchlers are successful with the restoration of the mansion, it could bring about renewed interest in home ownership, community pride and beautification of the South East area. We hope that the Horchlers will join our efforts to continue making SE a better place to live. Thank you for your time.

Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 Telephone: (540) 853-2333 Fax: (540) 853-1138 City Web: www.roanokeva.gov June 21,2010 Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor Honorable Sherman P. Lea, Vice Mayor Honorable M. Rupert Cutler, Council Member Honorable Gwendolyn W. Mason, Council Member Honorable AnitaJ. Price, Council Member Honorable Court G. Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance to Permit Vending on City Rights-of-Way and City-owned Properties Background: In fall 2009, City Council directed City staff to develop a food and beverage vending program. Planning staff researched various ordinances from other cities, explored issues associated with such programs, and developed a proposal based on the best practices found. At a project status briefing on February 1, 2010, City Council asked staff to make some modifications to the proposed regulations and involve stakeholders in the review of the proposal. The Planning Division held a forum on March 23rd, and received feedback from approximately 25 attendees. In addition to the forum, staff received comments via e- mail, phone, Facebook discussion board, and individual meetings. On May 1st, Council was briefed on the public comments and how the proposal was modified in response. During the May 1st briefing, Council directed staff to further modify the proposal to increase the separation of vendors from restaurants, permit vending only in parks in downtown, and align the fees with those of the outdoor dining program. Planning staff held a second public review session and provided a summary of the public comments to City Council by memo dated June 4, 2010. The proposed ordinance features provisions for the permitting process, eligible locations, standards for cart placement and operation, and hours of operation. Considerations: Food and beverage vending from a cart is currently permitted on any private property located within any zoning district which permits an eating establishment. The proposed r Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June 21,2010 Page 2 ordinance would not affect vending on private property, but would add the ability for the City to permit such activity on City-owned properties and public rights-of-way. During the public review process, comments from stakeholders centered on concerns from restaurateurs in the downtown area who feel the program would harm their businesses with unfair competition, such competition being unfair because street vendors do not incur the same level of expense in terms of building rental and investment in equipment. In response to such comments, Planning staff worked with the City Attorney's Office to develop two alternative ordinances for City Council's consideration. Option 1 would permit vending in rights-of-way and on City-owned property within the Commercial- General, Commercial-Neighborhood, Recreation and Open Space, and Institutional Planned Unit Development zoning districts; such vending would not be allowed in the Downtown zoning district. Option 2 would permit street vending in the zoning districts listed above, as well as the Downtown zoning district. . Both options include amendments to other sections of the City Code that require modification to avoid potential conflict with street vending activities. A separate resolution provides for amendment of the Fee Compendium to add application and permit fees for street vending. An effective date of July 1, 2010, is specified to provide time to establish the procedural items needed to review and issue permits. Recommended Actions: Upon receipt of further public input during the City Council meeting, staff recommends Council adopt one of the alternative ordinances (Option No.1 or Option No.2) adding Section 30-9.2 to the City Code (1979), as amended, and further recommends that if Council adopts either Option 1 or Option 2, Council should approve the resolution amending the fee compendium to establish an application fee and a permit fee for such vending.

Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue, S.W., Room 364 Roanoke, Virginia 24011-1591 Telephone: (540) 853-2333 Fax: (540) 853-1138 City Web: www.roanokeva.gov June 21, 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 AnitaJ. Price, Council Member Honorable Court G. Rosen, Council Member Honorable David B. Trinkle, Council Member Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council: Subject: Revisions to the Requirements for the Tax Exemption Program for the Rehabilitation of Real Property Background: On June 30, 2010, the City's program that allows partial tax exemptions for the rehabilitation of residential, commercial, and industrial real property will expire. On June 7th, City Council was briefed by the Director of Real Estate Valuation, Susan Lower, on proposed changes for continuing this program. A public meeting was held on June 8th to solicit citizen input on the revisions. The recommended changes to the program are as follows: . A qualifying residential structure must be no less than 40 years of age; the current requirement is 25 years of age. . If the qualifying structure has been designated with either H-1, Historic District, or H-2, Neighborhood Preservation District, zoning overlay designations, or is located within an area designated as a conservation area or a rehabilitation district by the City, the partial exemption will continue to run for a period of ten years. Staff had originally recommended to Council to change the period to eight years; however, feedback received from Council Members, as well as that from the attendees at the public meeting, supports maintaining the partial exemption timeframe in these areas at ten years. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June21,2010 Page 2 . For residential structures, there will continue to be an additional exemption period if there is at least a fifty percent reduction in the number of units. Staff had originally recommended to Council to eliminate the additional five year exemption period as it potentially allows a rehabilitated property to be in the abatement program for up to fifteen years. Council Members were initially in agreement with this recommendation; however, attendees at the public meeting strongly supported the retention of this additional period. Following the public meeting, staff further researched and discussed this recommendation. It now recommends to Council to have an additional four year abatement period if there is at least a fifty percent reduction in the number of units. However, during that additional four year period, the abatement amount will be decreased twenty percent in each year, such that after the completion of the fourth year, the property will be taxed at one hundred percent of its fair market value. . For residential structures, density resulting from rehabilitation will be allowed to conform to the current zoning ordinance; currently, no increase is allowed in the number of dwelling units in order to participate in the program. . In order for the tax abatement for a. property to continue in effect, the property must be maintained in compliance with Chapter 7 (Building Regulations), Chapter 20, Article VI (Inoperable Motor Vehicles), Chapter 21, Article I (Graffiti), Chapter 33 (Vegetation and Trash), and Chapter 36.2 (Zoning) of the City Code. . In order for an owner to apply to the program, and for the property to continue in the program, the owner cannot be delinquent in any real estate tax owed the City. · If a property which has qualified for the program is damaged by fire or act of (God such that the remaining value of the property is less than its original assessment before being rehabilitated, then the property will be removed from the program. · For those properties subject to the Downtown Service District tax or the Williamson Road Area Service District tax, that tax will be applied to the same dollar value that the base real estate tax is applied, which will be the rehab value not the assessed value. · Extend the termination date of the rehabilitation program from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2015. The proposal to extend this date five years will allow the City the opportunity to monitor and assess whether the program's goals continue to be met as a result of these changes. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council June21,2010 Page 3 Recommended Action: Adopt the attached ordinance amending and re-ordaining Chapter 32, Taxation. Article II, Real Estate Taxes Generally, Division 5. Exemption of Certain Rehabilitated Real Property, and Division 5C.
