Board of Zoning Appeals
Planning Commission
July 19, 2010
The Honorable David A. Bowers, Mayor
Members of City Council
Roanoke, Virginia
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
As Chairman of the Roanoke City Board of Zoning Appeals for 2010, it is
my honor to present to you the annual report for July 1, 2009, through June 30,
2010. For fiscal year 2009-2010, the Board of Zoning Appeals held nine (9)
regular public hearings, during which there were two (2) variance requests, twelve
(12) special exception (use) requests, and no appeals of the Zoning
Administrator's decision.
In the current year, the Board of Zoning Appeals' goals are: first, continue
to serve the citizens and developers of the community in furthering the
use, development and redevelopment of property through variances and
special exceptions; second, to continue to act as a discretionary
administrative body and make decisions in matters where a person or party
within the community is aggrieved by a decision made in the administration or
enforcement of the zoning ordinance; and lastly, to recommend to the
Planning Commission and City Council necessary revisions to the zoning
ordinance in order for the Board to continue to provide fair and equitable service
to the community and its citizens. The Board continues to work with the City
Attorney's Office to assure that our procedures promote a concise and fair
process.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our appreciation for
Council's ongoing efforts to improve the effectiveness of the Board of Zoning
Appeals through funding for the training and certification of the Board members.
~~
Diana Sheppard, Chairman
Board of Zoning Appeals

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: Acceptance of Funding for Drug Prosecutor
Background:
Federal funding was made available to the Commonwealth of Virginia to be used
for the development of several Multi-jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutors
statewide. The positions were developed to coordinate prosecutorial efforts
among independent jurisdictions, reduce fractional and duplicate prosecutions,
enhance the recovery of criminal assets, and utilize federal, state and local
resources to assure maximum prosecutorial effectiveness and to provide
specialized prosecutorial resources to the regional drug enforcement effort. The
Commonwealth's Attorneys of Craig County, Franklin County, Roanoke County,
and the Cities of Roanoke and Salem applied on October 9, 1987, to the
<:>
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
july 19, 2010
Page 2
Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council, the State agency responsible for the
administration of the grant money to fund a Multi-jurisdictional Special Drug
Prosecutor. City Council accepted the Multi-jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutor
Grant in April, 1988, and a full-time Special Drug Prosecutor was hired in july,
1988. Annual re-application for this funding is required.
Considerations:
On April 15, 1994, funding for the Drug Prosecutor's Office was transferred from
the Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council to the Compensation Board. The
Compensation Board approved funding for the Drug Prosecutor in the amount of
$96,975 on May 1, 2010, and funding will continue through June 30, 2011. The
local match is $27,900 for a total of $124,875. Funding for the local share is
available in General Fund - Transfer to Grant Fund (account number 01-250-
9310-9535).
Recommended Actions:
Accept funding from the Compensation Board in the amount of $96,975 with the
City providing local match funding in the amount of $27,900. Authorize the City
Manager to execute the requisite documents to obtain the funding from the
Compensation Board. All such documents shall be reviewed and approved as to
form by the City Attorney.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish revenue estimates for
$96,975 in state grant funds and $27,900 in local match, to transfer local match
from the General Fund Transfer to Grant Fund account (01-250-9310-9535), and
to appropriate funding totaling $124,875 per attachment 1 in accounts to be
established by the Director of Finance.

program phases designed to provide assessment and supervision, counseling,
community service and reparation, and preparation for the youth's independent

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: United States Marshals Service
Grant
Background:
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) regularly supports local efforts to
apprehend fugitives from justice. One such program provides local funding
or equipment for travel and training or apparatus used for the capture of
wanted criminals. This program requires local officers to be sworn members
of the U.S. Marshals Service District Fugitive Task Force. All six members of
the Roanoke Police Department Warrant Service Unit meet this requirement.
Considerations:
In August 2009, the United States Marshals Service agreed to donate four
vehicles to the Police Department. These vehicles were accepted by Council
under a previous request and have arrived from the manufacturer. The
vehicles are to be used by the Warrant Service Unit in its efforts to arrest
fugitives. In a separate award, the USMS has agreed to give the Police
Department a total of $44,000 to be used for vehicle fuel to operate the
previously donated vehicles and to purchase emergency lights, radios and
officer protective equipment to be placed within the donated vehicles. There
is no matching funds requirement for this program.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 19, 2010

Recommended Action:

authorize the City Manager to execute any necessary grant agreement or
related documents; such documents to be approved as to form by the City
Attorney.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROANOKE
AND FAMILY SERVICE OF ROANOKE VALLEY
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ("Memorandum") is made and entered
into the First day of July, 2010, by and between the CITY OF ROANOKE, and Family Service of
Roanoke Valley ("Family Service").
For and in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations set forth in this
Memorandum, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Memorandum between the parties is to establish the City of Roanoke and
Family Service of Roanoke Valley partnership designed to replicate the Project Back on Track
evidence-based program in accordance with the grant award and Statement of Grant Award
Special Conditions (attached herein) as provided by the Department of Criminal Justice Services
to the City of Roanoke and to Family Service of Roanoke Valley. Project Back on Track
programming will be implemented by Family Service of Roanoke Valley staff for the targeted
population as purchased services as described in the grant 11-A2242JJ09.
In its first year of the Department of Criminal Justice Services grant funded project, the goal is to
engage 50 City of Roanoke youth ( ages 12 - 17) in Project Back on Track program, during the
grant award period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. Project Back on Track programming
will include counseling, service learning, life skills and family education to respond a vital
community priority: to reduce youth crime and to impact a prevalent cause of youth crime,
substance abuse among our youth. Another aim of the project is to impact the problem of
disproportionate minority contact.
ARTICLE II
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Roanoke Project Back on Track proposal was written in response to the recent
surveys showing the problematic use of substances among the city's youth: especially cocaine,
marijuana, prescription drugs, alcohol and heroin use. Such substance use contributes
significantly to youth crime. In 2009 179 youth cases involved substance use problems that were
identified. Substance use in the city of Roanoke exceeds national levels; in the case of cocaine
Family Service of Roanoke Valley
Page 2
by two times the national level and in the case of heroin three times as many city youth report
using heroin in comparison with national data. In 2009 the African American representation in the
youth crime statistics was disproportionate representing 59% of juvenile intakes while only 35% of
the population of youth are African American. These statistics indicate the need for Project Back
on Track, proven to effectively reduce youth substance use and youth crime recidivism across
gender and racial differences. In Year I the project goal is to engage at least 50 youth ages 12-
17, a minimum of 67% African American, to achieve the objectives of: (1) avoiding subsequent
criminal offenses and (2) preventing further substance use among the youth participants. The
outcome objectives of Project Back on Track will be evaluated, incorporating the required
performance measures as identified by the Department of Criminal Justice Services.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Urban and Community
Forestry Grants
Background:
On June 8, 2010, the City was notified by the Virginia Department of Forestry
that a $12,356.00 grant will be awarded to the City upon execution of a
Memorandum of Agreement (Attachment 1). The grant will be used to fund
the part-time Urban Forestry Planner 10 hours a week to work with the City's
Urban Forester on an Urban Forestry Plan Update and related activities. The
original Urban Forestry Plan was adopted by City Council as an element of
Vision 2001-2020, the City's Comprehensive Plan, on April 21, 2003. Sinte
that time, the City has received new data that will be used in the Urban
Forestry Plan update. This includes the results of a 2008 Urban Tree Canopy
Assessment and a 2010 STRATUM survey of tree streets, both projects
having been undertaken by the part-time Urban Forestry Planner. Within
three months, a UFORE survey of City-wide tree canopy will be available,
providing estimates of tree health, value and distribution. Under the grant,
the Urban Forestry Planner also will continue to coordinate the
Commemorative Tree Program and manage the urban forestry webpages.
In a separate award on June 8, 2010, the City was notified by the Virginia
Department of Forestry that another $.12,356.0.o..grant will be awarded to the
City upon execution of a Memorandum of Agre'ement (Attachment 2). The
City started a Tree Stewards program in January 2009, and the program now
has thirty-three active Tree Stewards. Each Steward goes through 30 hours of
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 19, 2010
Page 2
training and is asked to give 30 hours of volunteer service back to the City in
their first year and 20 hours. per year thereafter. Roanoke's Tree Stewards
have planted and pruned trees; given speeches to civic groups; educated
children about trees; and hosted booths at events such as Earth Day and Fall
Waterways. This grant will be used to fund the part-time Urban Forestry
Planner 10 hours a week to work with the City's Urban Forester on Tree
Stewards training and projects. '
Considerations:
The two Urban and Community Forestry Grants are from a federal grant
program sponsored by the USDA Forest Service and administered by the
Virginia Department of Forestry. "Funds are awarded ona reimbursement
basis after verification of the local match. The City's Urban Forester will
provide 415 hours of staff time ($13,085) as a match for the former grant.
For the latter grant, he will provide 50 hours of staff time ($1,577) as a
match. The Tree Stewards will provide 600 hours of volunteer time ($12,150)
as match for the latter grant also. The part-time Urban Forestry Planner's
salary and fringe benefits are paid entirely by the grants and have been
funded under this program for eight years.
Recommended Action:
Accept the FY11 Urban and Community Forestry Grants in the amount of
$24,712 and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute and attest
respectively, agreements with the Virginia Department of Forestry and any
other documents !lecessary to accept such grants, such documents to be
approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in
th~ amount of $24,712 and appropriate funding totaling $24,712 to
expenditure accounts to be established by the Director of Finance in the
Grant Fund as follows:

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject:
Summer Food Program
Background:
The City of Roanoke continues to provide for the nutritional needs of children
and youth during the summer months through Parks and Recreation supervised
Summer Nutrition Program. Breakfast and lunch are provided to children
throughout Roanoke from mid-June through early August. More than 30,000
meals will be served this summer.
Federal funds, up to $190,857, have been awarded to the City by a grant from
the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service. The
City is reimbursed on a per meal basis for meals actually served.
Considerations:
The Summer Food Program is partially funded through the United States
Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service. The program is similar
in concept to the National School Lunch Program with eligibility requirements
much like those used to determine eligibility for free or reduced priced meals
during the school year. The purpose is to provide nutritionally balanced,
healthy meals to children, ages one through eighteen, and those with special
needs. Adult summer staff manages the program and youth are hired to assist
at the food service sites.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 19, 2010

Recommended Action(s):
Accept the Summer Food Program grant in the amount of $190,857 and
authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute and attest, respectively,
an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture, Food and
Nutrition Services and any other forms necessary to accept such grant, such
agreement and forms to be approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish a revenue estimate in
the amount of $190,857 and appropriate funding totaling $190,857 into
expenditure accounts to be established by the Director of Finance in the Grant
Fund.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Subject: Sustainable Communities Regional
Planning Grant Program
Background:
In the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117), Congress
provided $150,000,000 to HUD for a Sustainable Communities Initiative to improve
regional planning efforts that integrate housing and transportation decisions, and
increase state, regional, and local capacity to incorporate livability, sustainability,
and resident and stakeholder participation into land use plans and zoning.
Approximately $25,000,000 will be used for competitive grants to support
preparation of Regional Plans for Sustainable Development for medium sized
metropolitan areas like Roanoke. The minimum grant amount is $200,000 and the
maximum is $2,000,000.
The Roanoke Valley Allegheny Regional Commission (RVARC) is considering the
formation of a regional consortium to apply for this grant, with the RVARC acting
as the applicant, and has requested that local governments indicate their intent to
participate by July 23, 2010. Grant regulations require that the consortium include
the City of Roanoke, a non-profit (such as the Council of Community Services), the
Metropolitan Planning Organization and other localities making up 50% or more of
the population of the metropolitan area. The grant would be for a three-year period
and would engage the consortium members, other stakeholders and the public. A
20% match consisting of it'1-kind"stafftil11e,~r s.~r;yi.ces is required. The plan would
likely require the use of a consultant(s). Applicants achieving a specified threshold
score will also qualify for Preferred Sustainability Status for sustainable related
federal grant programs. Applications must be submitted by August 23, 2010.
r
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 19, 2010
Page 2
Considerations:
If the threshold requirements are met, the RVARC will work with consortium
members to develop an application for a regional planning effort to integrate
housing, land use, economic and workforce development, transportation, and
infrastructure investments in a manner that considers the interdependent
challenges of economic competitiveness and revitalization; inclusion and access to
opportunity; energy use and climate change; and, public health and environmental
impacts. In-kind match would be distributed among the members of the
consortium, and the grant application amount will be determined once the number
of participants is known and the scope of the application is established by them.
The City of Roanoke's Comprehensive Plan, Vision 2001~2020, recognizes that
regionalism is paramount to the future of the Roanoke Valley and southwestern
Virginia, and HUD has chosen to make six Livability Principles that are consistent
with Vision 2001-2020 as central to the program. These principles are:
Transportation Choices,' Equitable, Affordable Housing,' Economic Competitiveness,'
Support Existing Communities,' Coordinate Policies and Leverage Investment,' and
Value Communities and Neighborhoods. .
An agreed-upon regional plan to benefit all jurisdictions would be effective in
securing additional funding for public projects, attracting new businesses, and
influencing state legislation and appropriations. Staff participates in numerous
regional planning efforts through the RVARC, and we do not see the commitment
of staff resources as requiring additional expenditures by the City.
Recommended Action:
Approve the attached resolution supporting Roanoke's participation in an
application for a Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant and authorize
the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City all documents related to the
application for such designation; all such documents to be approved as to form by
the City Attorney.

to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this
Section 5 shall be cancelled.

immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.

Dear Mayor Bowers and Members of City Council:
Su bject:
Authorization to Refund and Restructure Bonds
. Background:
The City's Debt Policy establishes the parameters for issuing debt and
managing the debt portfolio. It provides guidance regarding purposes for
which debt may be issued, types and amounts of permissible debt and methods
of ~ale that may be utilized. The City. may issue refunding bonds to realize net
present value savings, eliminate burdensome covenants or provisions in
outstanding bond documents, or in the event of financial emergencies or
hardships. Restructuring of debt may be done to ensure compliance with the
City's debt poli(ies. The City's goal will be to obtain net present value savings,
net of issuance costs, of at least three percent of the principal amount of the
refunded bonds, however, les.ser savings and restructurings are permitted by
the City's debt policies.
The City issued $44.245 million of Series 2002A bonds dated February 1, 2002,
to fund various projects including education, buildings, economic development
and other infrastructure projects. Currently outstanding Series 2002A bonds
mature in varying amounts on Oqober 1.in each, of the years 2010 through
2012.--' '.' ..' '" .-,':,
The City issued $46 million of Series 2004B bonds dated November 23, 2004,
to fund various projects including schools, infrastructure and buildings.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council

Page 2
Currently outstanding Series 2004B bonds mature in varying amounts in
February 1 in each of the years 2011 through 2015 and 2020 through 2025.
The City issued $29.555 million of Series 2006A bonds dated February 8,2006,
to fund various projects including schools, technology, infrastructure and
economic development. Currently outstanding Series 2006A bonds mature in
varying amounts on February 1 in each of the years 2011 through 2016,
February 1 , 2020 and 2022 through 2026.
The City issued $45.99 million of Series 2008 bonds dated February 5, 2008, to
fund various projects including school, buildings and infrastructure. Currently
outstanding Series 2008 bonds mature in varying amounts on February 1 in
each of the years 2011 through 2018, 2022 through 2028, and on February 1,
2'033.
The City issued $44.925 million of Series 201 OA bonds dated March 11, 2010,
to fund infrastructure. Currently outstanding Series 2010A bonds mature in
varying amounts on October 1 in each of the years 2010 through 2029.
Considerations:
Based upon discussions with the City's financial advisor, Public Financial
Management, Inc, the City can improve its compliance with debt ratios in
upcoming years by restructuring a modest approximately $2.3 million of the
Series 2002A Bonds. This restructuring will delay principal payment on these
bonds for five years, resulting in a lower ratio of debt service expenditure to
total expenditure. Based upon the fact that the City exceeded this policy limit
in FY10 due to contracting expenditures, we believe a minor restructuring
would be prudent. Restructuring will provide a greater margin of error
associated with potential future budgetary reductions.
The City is not currently in the position to reap savings from refunding bonds,
but since interest rates fluctuate daily, it is imperative to the success of a
refunding that the City act quickly once interest rates enable us to achieve an
acceptable level of savings. As such, staff recommend that City Council provide
authorization for potential refunding candidates.
Refunding bonds will be considered additional debt in the context of the City's
debt policy and from rating agencies' perspective only to the extent that a
slightly higher level of principal would need to be issued than the amount of
bonds being refunded. Additionally, should a refunding take place, to the
~
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
July 19, 2010
Page 3
extent that debt service on bonds is being provided by the Western Virginia
Water Authority (WVWA) or the Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS), funding for
new bonds also would come from the WVWA and RCPS, resulting in debt service
savings for those entities as well as for the City.
Recommendation:
We recommend City Council adopt the accompanying resolution authorizing the
City Manager and the Director of Finance to issue not to exceed $40 million
principal amount in refunding bonds on or before June 30, 2011. Refunding
bonds shall be issued to refund all or a portion of the Series 2002A, Series
2004B, Series 2006A, Series 2008, and Series 201 OA bonds if net present value
saving of 3% or greater of the net present value of the refunded bonds can be
achieved. Refunding bonds shall also be issued to the extent debt restructuring
may be beneficial in ensu ring compliance with the City's debt policy.

The Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation strongly encourages City Council to
consider a lease to the Roanoke Regional Preservation Office (RRPO) ofthe Virginia
Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) for office space at Mountain View.
......-
The RRPO office has been located in historic Buena Vista since it was established in
1989. This office has served as a valuable resource to the city as the RRPO staff
promotes awareness, appreciation, enjoyment and good stewardship of historic
resources in the city and the surrounding region. The RRPO office in Roanoke has
served as a center for expert assistance to both consultants and individual property
owners. It is important that the RRPO remain located in the city of Roanoke.
Over the last 21 years, the RRPO has served as a steward to the property of Buena
Vista. RRPO staff members have provided tours and outreach services promoting the
architectural and historic significance of this house. In addition, they have kept a
careful eye on the condition of the building and provided technical assistance to the
city in promoting its maintenance. It is important and appropriate that RRPO's
offices remain in,..,Q,ne-ofthe'citY'shisforic'propettie
Mountain View is an excellent 0 is valuable resource will
'mlll- e city ana continue to influence and assist property owners in the historic
neighborhoods of Old Southwest, Wasena, Ghent and Raleigh Court that surround
the property. The RRPO staff can serve as stewards of Mountain View and provide
assistance to the city in maintaining this historic resource.
We understand that there is a deed restriction from the original donation of the
property by the Fishburn family restricting its use to recreational activities. We
believe that the RRPO and VDHR, which are under the State Department of Natural
Resources, promote recreational activities. As defmed by the V A code 9 15.2-6017:
"Recreational purposes" includes any one or any combination of the following
recreational activities: ... visiting, viewing or enjoying historical, archaeological,
scenic, or scientific sites or otherwise using land for purposes of the user.
Based on this definition, we believe that RRPO is an eligible use of Mountain View.
In addition, it is our understanding that the Fishburn heirs support this proposed use
1;>y the RRPO.
In closing, we strongly encourage you to allow the Roanoke Regional Preservation
Office to lease space at Mountain View. It is our belief that this arrangement would
be in the best interest of all parties as it provides office space for RRPO in the City of
Roanoke while also providing Mountain View with the best tenants and stewards the
City could ask for.

To the Honorable David Bowers, Mayor and Members of the Roanoke City Council,
I would like to personally thank you for your efforts in insuring the education of our Roanoke City
children through your support and passing ofthe two -cent meals tax. I know there was quite of bit of
opposition, but I am pleased that you all held firm to support the school division. Perhaps in the future
everyone will realize the positive impact this effort has made. Supportin'g public education is the best
investment a taxpayer can make.
Enclosed are some pins I made that I am encouraging supporters of the meals tax to wear when they
dine at a Roanoke City restaurant. I thought they would help to spread the message to encourage
everyone to support public education. So far my fellow elementary school principals are wearing the
pins and it would mean a great deal to us if you all could wear them as well. When people ask what the
pins mean, that gives us an opportunity to share with them about the meals tax and its positive impact
on Roanoke City Public Schools.
With sincere gratitude,
~~--
Rebecah Smith, Principal of Garden City Elementary
