ATTEST: ~.h7.YYJDWU City Clerk. L CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Su bject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council October 18, 2010 Funding for Western Virginia Workforce Development Board Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Programs Background: The City of Roanoke is the grant recipient for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding, thus, City Council must appropriate the funding for all grants and other monies received in order for the Western Virginia Workforce Development Board to administer WIA programs. The Western Virginia Workforce Development Board administers the federally funded Workforce Investment Act (WIA) for Area 3, which encompasses the counties of Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, Franklin and Roanoke, and the cities of Covington, Roanoke, and Salem. WIA funding is for four primary client populations: "- · Dislocated workers who have been laid off from employment through no fault of their own; · Economically disadvantaged individuals as determined by household income guidelines defined by the U.S. Department of Labor; · Youth who are economically disadvantaged, or who have other barriers to becoming successfully employed adults; and · Businesses in need of employment and job training services. The Western Virginia Workforce Development Board has received a Notice of Obligation (NOO), from the Virginia Community College System, allocating $69,895 for the Adult Program which serves economically disadvantaged adults, $146,510 for the Dislocated Worker Program which serves workers laid off from employment through no fault of their own and $423,709 for the Youth Program which serves economically disadvantaged/barrier youth for Program Year 2010 Uuly 1, 2010 - June 30, 2012). Ten percent of the aforementioned totals are to be allocated to the administrative function of the Western Virginia Workforce Development Board. Considerations: · Program Operations - Existing activities will continue and planned, programs will be implemented. · Funding - Funds are available from the Grantor agency and other sources as indicated, at no additional cost to the City. Recommended Action: Accept the Western Virginia Workforce Development Board Workforce Investment Act funding of $640,114 for Program Year 2010, and appropriate the funding, in accounts to be established in the Grant Fund by the Director of Finance. Establish corresponding revenue estimates in the Grant Fund as well. Attached to this letter is a listing of the accounts and amounts for the above Program Year 2010 appropriations. /j/) '-1-_1 P ~ ~------------- CHRISTOPHER P.

As part of the development of this parcel, right-of-way improvements in accordance with the South Jefferson Redevelopment Plan were requ ired to be installed by the developer. These right-of-way improvements included curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping and street lights. As a part of the development process, certain items included in the site plan are required to have a project guarantee. A letter of credit from HomeTown Bank was posted for the Cambria Suites project to ensure all site work including the right- of-way improvements were installed according to the approved plan. The project was completed in May of 2010 with site work and right-of-way improvements installed, except the installation of three street lights. The cost of the street lights, including installation, is $10,268, payable to Appalachian Power. Considerations: The Department of Planning, Building and Development has encouraged the developer, Roanoke Land Development, LLC, to move forward with the required installation of the street lights by making the payment to Appalachian Power. The developer failed to make the payment and notified the City on August 30, 2010, that the City should draw on the letter of credit to get the lights installed (see attachment).

ATTEST: A~CI~.~ CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Su bject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council ' October 18, 2010 Transfer of Funds for Purchase of Equipment and Tools for Fleet Management Background: Over the past few years, the Fleet Management Division (Fleet) has made substantial strides in improving the quality and quantity of repairs and maintenance on the City's fleet of vehicles and equipment that are quite old and, as a result, require substantial maintenance. New replacement units are now quite technologically advanced. Accordingly, the diagnostic equipment and specialized tools required to properly diagnose and repair the new units are not present within Fleet. Without having the proper tools to do the jobs, maintenance for many more of the City's units is being out-sourced to local maintenance facilities that have the proper tools and equipment. One of the results of the recent economic downturn in our local area has been the closing of more of the loc'al repair facilities' which, in tu rn, has placed a severe strain on the fewer remaining facilities to repair the increasing number of units requiring the specialized equipment and tools for proper repairs. This increased repair time means that more City vehicles and equipment are out of service, waiting on repairs from outside vendors and driving up Fleet's costs paid to those vendors. Considerations: With the purchase and use of the proper diagnostic equipment and associated tools, virtually all of Fleet's diagnostic and repair work could be performed "in- house", significantly speeding up the overall diagnosis/repair cycle, placing the vehicles/equipment back in service faster, and reducing the expense paid to outside vendors. The purchased' equipment and tools will be state-of-the-art, which is the type used by most Maintenance Technicians being hired by Fleet. Seasoned Technicians at Fleet have been introduced to the new diagnostic equipment and tools and have embraced the increases in productivity made possible by the use of these new products by actually using them during lengthy demonstrations on the Fleet shop floor. Recommended Action: Approve the appropriation of $90,000 from Fleet Management's Retained Earnings Fund to Fleet's Equipment - Maintenance Account (017-440-2641- 2035 & 017-440-2642-9015) for the purchase of electronic diagnostic equipment, associated software programs for all engine and electrical configurations, electronic testing equipment, additional tool boxes for each Fleet Technician with a full variety of required tools to properly repair and maintain both the new and older vehicles and equipment owned by the City. /7 ~ "-"7- _I f1 ~ ~----------- CHRISTOPHER P.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council October 18, 2010 Amendment to Sales Contract - Buena Vista Center Background:' On June 21, 2010, by adoption of Ordinance No. 38863-062110, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a sale contract, dated June 22, 2010, for the disposition of a three acre tract containing the former Buena Vista Recreation Center (tax map no. 4130501) to Scott and Ascencion Horchler. The purchase price is $75,000, and the contract contains a number of terms and conditions which were to be met prior to the closing of the real estate transaction. With the successful rezoning of the property on September 22, 2010 to a zoning classification that allows the existing structure to be used as a single family residence, and the relocation of remaining tenant in the building, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, on October 1, 2010, the contingencies related to the schedu ling of the real estate closing were satisfied. The sales contract contains a provision that closing on the real estate transaction would take place within thirty days of the satisfaction of any contractual contingences, which would be on or around November 1, 2010. Considerations: The Horchlers have not been able to obtain a contract on the sale of their home in Midlothian, Virginia while the contractual and rezoning process on the Buena Vista property has proceeded. The Horchlers have relocated to Roanoke and are living in temporary residential quarters in the meantime. The Horchlers have asked the City to consider an amendment of the sales contract that would extend the timeframe during which the closing on the Buena Vista property could take place allowing them the opportunity to sell their property in Midlothian. Given the cu rrent real estate market, and the efforts by the Horchlers to this point regarding their continued interest in the Buena Vista property, the Administration is supportive of granting them such a request.

ATTEST: ' .:4~YO)'rre City Clerk. 2- CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council October 18, 2010' Authorization to Enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the City of Lynchburg Backg rou nd: Du ring the 2010 budget process, in response to continued declines in state funding, the decision was made to develop alternatives to residential group home services for runaways or children who cannot return home for safety reasons. This led to closing of the Sanctuary Crisis Intervention Center on June 30, 2010. The additional cost to the City to continue operation of the facility would have been approximately $480,000. As indicated to City Council in a September 3, 2010 report, a number of alternatives have been under development to serve youth who would previously have been housed in Sanctuary, including the development of a 'host home model' to provide services in homes of licensed volunteers under the auspices of the Volunteer Emergency Families for Children (VEFC) organization, and the purchase of services for temporary placements in a group home setting. The closest facilities to the City of Roanoke licensed to provide emergency and short-term residential group home placement are in the City of Lynchburg. These facilities, Opportunity House and SPARC House, are owned and operated by the City of Lynchburg. Considerations: The City of Roanoke's Department of Human Services, Juvenile Services Division desire to place eligible juveniles residing in the City of Roanoke in the above referenced residential group homes owned by the City of Lynchburg. A Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") has been developed between the City of Roanoke and the City of Lynchburg for the purposes of providing Shelter Care bed space to juveniles in need of this service for an initial term commencing November 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2011. The expeqed cost to the ,City for this service is $86,091. Funding for such placement of juveniles by the City of Roanoke in Lynchburg is available in the Youth Haven budget (35 630 3350 2010) through the City's, participation in the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA). As this proposed MOU is between_ two localities, the MOU will need to be authorized by City Council pursuant to Section 1 5.2-1300 of the Code of Virginia (1950) as amended. Recommended Action: Adopt an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, substantially similar in form to the MOU attached to this letter, with the City of Lynchbu rg, pu rsuant to Section 1 5.2-1 300 of the Code of Virginia (1950) as amended, for the purpose of providing Shelter Care bed space to eligible juveniles, and authorizing the City Manager to execute any related docu ments requ ired to effect the pu rposes of the MOU, such docu ments to be approved as to form by the City Attorney. /71 '-1-_1 p. ~ ~------------ CHRISTOPHER P.

Morrill Attest: By: 5 Approved as to Form: Assistant City Attorney City of Roanoke 6 CITY COUNCIL REPORT To: Date: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council February 4, 2011 Sanctuary Transition Status Report INFORMATION ONLY In September, 2010, City Council was provided a status report on the closure of the Crisis Intervention Center (Sanctuary), and the transition of those services to a series of alternative service providers both locally and in locations in Southwest Virginia, including Lynchburg and Wytheville. The current Supervision Plan Services budget contains funding for the provision of shelter care beds through the purchase of specific services. Shelter care beds are divided into two categories, beds for eligible juveniles before the court or .juvenile Intake (Virginia Community Crime Control Act (VjCCA)), and "off- plan" beds for juveniles not before the court but needing short-term safety placements. Approximately $93,500 was budgeted for the provision of shelter care bed services for the VjCCA plan. Based on utilization through the first six months of the fiscal year, it is anticipated that funds for the VjCCA plan will be fu Ily utilized for the remaining six months. Through the first six months of the fiscal year, three referrals for short term placement have been made to the facility in Lynchburg and four referrals have been made to the fac.ility in Wytheville. As indicated in September, the Volunteer Emergency Families for Children program (VEFC) is in the process of establishing a 'host home' system to facilitate short term emergency placements in locations in Roanoke. Currently, the program is in the process of hiring two local case managers who will then identify and facilitate the operation of "host homes" locally. Approximately $8,000 was budgeijd for "off-plan" short- term safety placements. Through the end of Decemberjigthose funds had been exhausted. Additional funding of a like amount ha~ been identified to support "off-plan" short term safety placements for the rer1:Jflining six months of the fiscal year. t:;I ISI (,I.J Through the first half of the fiscal year, the number of referrals for sho@t term safety placement bedsnas been less than would have been anticipatedg The alternative locations in lieu of Sanctuary for placement have been suffident to 'meet referral demand. The community continues to have a need to fully develop a local system of short term emergency placements for juveniles. It is anticipated that the VEFC program under implementation will help expedite the development of that local system. Staff will continue to provide periodic updates to City Council as the transition continues. /~ BRIAN TOWNSEND Assistant City Manager Distribution: Council Appointed Officers Jane Conlin, Director of Human and Social Services Jim O'Hare, Youth Care Administrator Amelia Merchant, Director of Management and Budget ,-,.... .- T I.IH c'-, .:J':J:lT T ""'-J31~1 I I I~I I-n-'.a...j l. vn.l i J'J IJ..:J . !.. ...10 .... l"l~ '\00' ---. -- 2 ~~ IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA The 18th day of October, 2010.

ATTEST: ~ h).n-v.~ City Clerk. \....; CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Meeting: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council October 18, 2010 Transfer of Funds for Capital Building Improvements for Employee Health Services Background: Employee Health Services provides health services to approximately 100 employees, new hi~es, families, and retirees per week. These services include public safety and new hire physicals, acute care visits, routine lab work, family medical services, monitoring chronic health conditions and employee wellness programming. The purpose of Employee Health Services is to help reduce the costs associated with the City's overall health insurance claims paid. The clinic is currently located at 120 Kirk Avenue in leased space at an annual cost of $31,500. Considerations: On October 7, 2010, City Council was briefed on the problems and challenges at the current location of the Employee Health Clinic which includes an unwelcoming . atmosphere, limited and inadequate exam space, mold, and visible peeling paint. An opportunity has arisen to move the clinic to a more convenient, City-owned space located at 107 Church Avenue. This new location will provide adequate lobby space, better work flow and sufficient exam, lab, and restroom areas. The cost to renovate the new space is $264,494. Funding previously budgeted for the Health Department move to the Civic Mall can be reallocated to renovate the space for the Employee Health Clinic. Recommended Action: Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to transfer funding in the amount of $264,494 from 08-530-9834-9003 (Health Department/Civic Mall) to an account titled Employee Health Services Renovation to be established by the Director of Finance in the Capital Projects Fund. /7J) "-1-_1 fJ. ~ -~----------- CHRISTOPHER P.

Taylor Municipal Building Roanoke, VA 24011 540-853-2431 INTRODUCTION The City Council is pleased to commend this Legislative Program for consideration by the 2011 Session of the General Assembly. The City Council, representing all the people of our All-America City, is uniquely qualified to understand the legislative needs of City government and our people. Weare of the opinion that this Program is responsive to those needs. As a policy matter, we continue to believe that local governments are the best vehicles for the delivery of many services to the public because local governments are closest to the people and the most responsive. We continue to be concerned about the cumulative effect of Federal and State legislative and regulatory mandates, many of which are unfunded, the continued erosion of local revenue sources, and the State's fiscal woes. This Program is a combined Program for City Council and the School Board. You will note that we have made a conscientious effort to pare our Program down to the issues that we believe are most important to the citizens of this City. The City Council portion was prepared by the City Attorney, William Hackworth, with the assistance of comments and suggestions from Council members, City administrators, and citizens. The School Board portion was prepared with the assistance of advice and comments from the School Board and administrators. The entire Program has been carefully reviewed by City Council's Legislative Committee, which consists of all the members of Council, and Lori Vaught and Annette Lewis of the School Board. Upon the recommendation of the Legislative Committee, the Program was adopted and endorsed by City Council on October 18, 2010. See Resolution No. a copy of which is attached. If during the course of the Session our legislators have questions concerning the position of the City or School Board on legislative matters, they are encouraged to contact us. I also know that representatives of the City and School Board will be in contact with our legislators on many occasions during the 2011 Session, and their consideration of these communications is deeply appreciated. With the support of our legislators, and this City is fortunate to have legislators who are most supportive and responsive to the needs of our City and its citizens, I know that our City government and School Division will be improved and that the quality of life for our citizens will be advanced. David A. Bowers, Mayor 2011 Legislative Program Le2islation Requested TransDominion Express Commission. Sen. Edwards has proposed legislation which would establish the TransDominion Express Commission to be responsible, within the TransDominion Corridor, for identifying needed construction, reconstruction, improvements of or repairs to railroads and their facilities and equipment necessary to provide enhanced passenger rail service, coordinated with freight rail opportunities, within the Corridor. The Commission may fmance or assist in fmancing any rail transportation project. (Sen. Edwards patroned S.B. 435 in 2010; it was continued to 2011 in Senate Rules Committee. It would have repealed Chapter 1041 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly, which provided for the creation of a Rail Transportation Development Authority, but never became effective because its "reenactment clause" was never satisfied) Passenger Rail Service. The City of Roanoke supports the proposal to extend passenger rail service from Bristol through Roanoke and on to Lynchburg and then to Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia (the "TransDominion Express"). Roanoke is the largest city in Virginia without passenger rail service. The 2000 General Assembly provided $9 million in preliminary funding for this important economic development initiative. The City supports the additional State funding necessary to place the service into operation. Priority should be give to instituting passenger rail service between Roanoke and Lynchburg, to enable residents of this region access to passenger rail service. Until this can be accomplished, funding should be made available to institute bus service between Roanoke and Lynchburg, coordinated with train schedules. (Senator Edwards patroned S.B. 864 in 2009, which would have created the Rail Transportation Development Authority; it failed to report from the Finance Committee.) School Start Date. The City's School Board should be authorized to set its school calendar so that the first day students are required to attend school shall be no earlier than two weeks prior to Labor Day. (Del. Cleaveland introduced H. B. 771 in 2010; it did not get out of committee.) Evictions. Sections 8.01-156, 55-237.1, and 55-248.38:2, Code of Virginia, either authorize or require (the statutes do not seem consistent in their provisions) sheriffs to remove the personal property of anyone ordered to be evicted from the premises of another and to set such property in the "public way." This is an archaic practice that City neighborhoods have complained of for many years, as it usually creates an unsightly pile ofbelongings that are left for scavengers and the weather to scatter, until such time as they are either removed by the landlord, or removed by the City, which is a nuisance and an expense to the City's taxpayers. These sections of the Code of Virginia should be amended to eliminate the provisions permitting the personal property of persons being evicted from being placed in the "public way". (Requested by City's Division of Solid Waste Management) 1 Other Lee:islative Priorities Revenue related requests Education Funding. The state has a constitutional duty to meet its education funding obligations. The City supports full funding of state education programs including the Standards of Quality, incentive, categorical, and school facilities programs. The City opposes changes in methodology and changes in the division of fmancial responsibility that result in a shift of funding responsibility from the state to localities. As an example, the City opposes the elimination or decrease of state funding for state mandated benefits for school employees. The state should consider alternatives to generate additional funds to fulfill the constitutional commitment to education. Alternatives could include raising the sales tax or decreasing the amount of funding for the personal property tax exemption program. The City opposes policies that lower state contributions to education under the Standards of Quality or other programs, but do nothing to address the cost of meeting the requirements in the Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Learning. The state should not continue to maintain and increase educational requirements while at the same time decreasing state funding. Restore State Budget Cuts. The State should restore the funding reductions in local aid made during the last legislative session, and not make any further reductions in local funding. BPOL and Machinery and Tools Taxes. The City oppose efforts by the state to limit local government taxing authority, such as eliminating the business license tax or the machinery and tools tax. Arts and Cultural Organizations. The Commonwealth should continue funding for the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which makes grants to local arts art and cultural organizations. According to a recent study by the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, such organizations and local artists account for about $18 million in tourist spending in the area, and $760,000 in local and state tax revenues. Drug Court. State funding should be maintained for the City's very successful drug court. Fee for Domestic Violence and Domestic Related Offenses. Enabling legislation authorizing localities to impose a fee of $50.00 on those convicted of domestic violence and domestic related offenses would help offset the expense of domestic violence investigations and provide services to victims. This fee would be separate from and in addition to any fme and/or costs otherwise imposed by the courts. (Suggested by the Roanoke Domestic Violence Task Force.) State Aid to Public Libraries. State aid to public libraries has been cut dramatically since full-funding was last achieved in FY 2001. In fiscal year 2010 state aid is only funded at 56% of the level mandated by the Code of Virginia, which has produced a shortfall in state aid to public libraries of nearly $7 million per year. The 2010 General Assembly approved an additional 15% reduction in state aid for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 which will drop state support to nearly 50% of the state funding required. Law Library Fee. Sec. 42.1-70, Code of Virginia, authorizes localities to assess a sum of up to $4.00 on any civil action filed in their courts in order to help maintain a law library. The City's law library has seen costs go 2 up, and use by the public has increased substantially. It is requested that the permitted fee be increased to at least $7.00. (Requested by Sheila Umberger, City Librarian.) Payment of Taxes, Fees, and Fines Owed the City. Sec. 15.2-2286.B, Code of Virginia, permits localities to require applicants for special exceptions, special use permits, variances, rezonings or other land disturbing permits, including building permits and erosion and sediment control permits, to produce satisfactory evidence that any delinquent real estate taxes owed the locality have been paid. It is requested that this section be amended to include any taxes (such as personal property), fees, or fines owed the locality by the owner ofthe subject property. (Requested by Division of Planning, Building and Development.) Abused and Neglected Animals. By State law, localities are required to provide emergency veterinary treatment for animals found to be abandoned, abused, or neglected. Most of these animals have been abandoned, their ownership unknown, and they are unclaimed. At a minimum emergency veterinary care costs $125.00. In 2008, the Police Department expended over $13,000.00 for such care. Legislation is requested requiring every person convicted of an animal-related offense under State or local law pay a fee of$15.00, which fee may be used by localities to help cover the expense of providing emergency veterinary care. (Requested by Police Department.) Sales Tax Payments by State. Section 58.1-605.F, Code of Virginia, gives the State Department of Taxation a six-month time period in which to distribute to localities sales taxes that are incorrectly paid to another locality, after an audit reveals that an incorrect distribution of such taxes has been made. Localities owed such taxes lose interest on such payments if not paid promptly to the correct locality. It is proposed that the six month time period permitted for such payments be reduced to thirty days. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Penalty for Untaxed Cigarettes. Section 58.1-3832.5, Code of Virginia, provides that localities may impose a penalty for fraud or evasion of payment of a cigarette tax, but limits the penalty to an amount not to exceed fifty percent of the tax owed. At the current tax rate of$.57 per carton, the maximum penalty which may be imposed is $.27 per carton. This limit should be increased, or a penalty in a stated dollar amount authorized. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Untaxed Cigarettes. Section 58.1-3832.5, Code of Virginia, authorizes localities to adopt ordinances making it a misdemeanor for persons to possess more than six cartons ofuntaxed cigarettes. This should be amended to make it a misdemeanor to possess any amount of untaxed cigarettes. (Requested by Dana Long, Manager, Billings and Collections.) Fee for Transporting Arrestees. Legislation should be adopted authorizing localities to impose a fee ($5.00 is suggested) for each time an arrestee must be transported by local law enforcement, such as transporting them to a holding facility, such fee to be imposed upon the person if convicted of the crime for which he or she was arrested. Such fee would be used to offset the cost of transporting arrestees. (Requested by Roanoke City Police Department.) Conservation Easements. The State should provide some incentive, fmancial or otherwise, for localities which place land owned by them under a conservation easement, such as assisting in paying for any necessary surveys. 3 Tax-Exempt Financing. Although it has not yet been an issue in the City, in some Virginia localities (Norfolk and Virginia Beach, for example) large tax-exempt bond fmancings have been undertaken for non-profits by the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority (VSBF A), rather than by the local industrial or economic development authority. This deprives local authorities and their localities of any "say" in the projects, and deprives the local IDAs/EDAs of the administrative fees that they receive for issuing such bonds. VSBFA bonds should be limited to small businesses, and the amount of bonds it may issue be capped, so that it does not compete with local IDAs and EDAs. Requests related to Quality of life/public health. safety and welfare Preserve Sovereign Immunity. On October 23, 2009, the Boyd-Graves Conference (composed of lawyers who represent the interests 0 f both plaintiffs and defendants) voted to recommend that the sovereign immunity 0 f Virginia localities be limited, and that the Virginia Tort Claims Act be extended to apply to localities. The Act currently applies to the Commonwealth. One justification cited for this action is that the current system of tort liability is confusing and unfair, in that counties have total sovereign immunity, while cities have liability for injuries incurred during the performance of a "proprietary" function, but have immunity when injuries are incurred during the performance of a "governmental function". Abolishing sovereign immunity could be very expensive for the City's taxpayers. The City joins with the Virginia Municipal League in opposing placing the City and other localities under the Virginia Tort Claims Act. Dangerous Weapons in Government Buildings. The City joins with the Virginia Municipal League in supporting legislation to allow local governments to prohibit or restrict the carrying of dangerous weapons in city and town halls, county administration b,uildings, public libraries, public community and recreation centers, and public convention/conference centers. Section 15.2-742, Code of Virginia, currently prohibits localities from adopting or enforcing any such prohibition or restriction with regard to firearms. Virginia High School League. The Virginia High School League (VHSL) is an important and influential part of the Virginia educational system. As such, City Council and Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) believe it is important that the oversight and organizational structure of the VHSL be examined to ensure its mission, activities and decision-making processes are consistent with those of the state Department of Education and supportive of all Virginia school districts and the unique characteristics therein. Outdoor Lighting. Legislation is requested which would authorize the City to regulate, through its zoning ordinance, exterior illumination levels of the lighting on new buildings and structures. Albemarle and Prince William Counties (see 915.2-504.1, Code of Virginia) and Arlington County (see 915.2-742, Code of Virginia) have this authority. Predatory Lending Practices. Local governments must retain the authority to regulate the location and number of payday lending institutions, and the state should limit the effective interest rates and fees charged on loans to 36ipercent 4 Plastic Bags. The City supports legislation such as H. B. 521, introduced by Del. Morrissey in 2011, that would prohibit retailers from providing customers with plastic bags unless they are (i) durable with handles, (ii) at least 2.25 mils thick, and (iii) specifically designed and manufactured for multiple use. San Francisco, the Outer Banks (Currituck, Dare and Hyde Counties), and several other cities (including Paris and London) have banned such bags, and several other states and cities are considering such a ban. (Requested by City's Transportation Division, which reports that it must spend as much time picking up litter from City rights-of-way as it does in mowing along them.) In the alternative, the City requests that localities be authorized to impose a fee on each plastic bag distributed by retailers, with such fees to be devoted to litter prevention. Washington D.C.'s 5 cent tax on plastic bags, instated just this past January, has already proven to have a phenomenal impact: the number of plastic bags handed out by supermarkets and other establishments dropped from the 2009 monthly average of22.5 million to just 3 million in January 2010. While significantly reducing plastic waste, the tax simultaneously generated $150,000 in revenue, which will be used to clean up the Anacostia River. Chronic Nuisance Properties. The City requests enabling legislation that would authorize it to adopt a "probationary and rental occupancy permit" ordinance similar to the ordinance adopted by the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, to deal with properties that are the source of chronic nuisance complaints, such as repeated breaches of the peace, property maintenance violations, zoning violations, weeds, trash, inoperable motor vehicles, and criminal offenses such as drug and alcohol offenses, prostitution, noise, disorderly conduct, and similar offenses. Raleigh requires the owners of rental property with repeated offenses of this type to register with the City for a two-year probationary period, and pay a registration fee. The City provides training to such landlords to assist them to avoid nuisances on their properties. Enforcement relies on civil, rather than criminal, penalties, in a graduated scale. Repeat violations can result in the owner of the rental property being prohibited from renting it for a period of time. Further information is available from the City's Division of Planning, Building and Development Rental Inspection. Amend Section 36-105.1: 1, Code of Virginia, to authorize localities that have rental inspection programs to require the owner of any multifamily development with more than ten dwelling units to erect a sign on the property identitying the name, address, and phone number of the person or entity that manages the development. (Proposed in 2009 by informal blight study group of certain localities in which the City participated.) Smoking in Certain Public Places Outdoors. Enabling legislation should be enacted to authorize localities to regulate or prohibit smoking in defined areas outdoors, specifically in proximity to the entrance to public buildings, and in areas where children's programs or sports are being conducted. These are areas where citizens are exposed to tobacco smoke, and they often complain of it. Localities currently have no authority to regulate smoking in such areas. Vacant Building Registration. Section 15.2-1127, Code of Virginia, authorizes cities, by ordinance, to require the owners of buildings that have been vacant for a continuous period of twelve months or more to register such buildings on an annual basis, and to impose an annual registration fee not to exceed $25.00. This registration fee is inadequate, and should be increased to an amount "not to exceed $250.00." (Del. Ware introduced H. B. 363 in 2010; it was left in committee.) 5 Reauests related to law enforcement/domestic violence. Distracted Driving. Legislation should be adopted prohibiting operators of motor vehicles upon public highways from driving with pets in their laps. (Requested by Police Department.) (H. B. 533 was introduced in 2008 that would have added a Section 46.2-811.1 to the Code of Virginia to accomplish this.) Pedestrians Trespassing on Highways. Currently, pedestrians who trespass on the right-of-way of Interstate or limited access highways can only be charged with a "traffic infraction" under rules promulgated by the State's Transportation Board. In order to promote safety, legislation should be adopted making this a misdemeanor. (Requested by Police Departinent.) Domestic Violence Offense. Legislation should be adopted establishing a requirement that prosecution of any domestic violence offense involving a knife or a gun be expedited. (Suggested by Roanoke Domestic Violence Task Force.) Sale of Spray Paint. Legislation should be enacted that would prohibit the sale of spray paint to mmors, unless accompanied by an adult. (Requested by Police Department.) Definition of Prostitution. The definition of "prostitution" in Section 18.2-346, Code of Virginia, should be amended. To convict someone of prostitution, three elements of the crime must be established: an agreement to perform a sex act, an agreement to exchange money or its equivalent for such act, and then the performance of a "substantial act" in furtherance of the crime. According to the Police Department, the "substantial" requirement makes it difficult to convict those guilty of prostitution. It is suggested that either this word be deleted, or replaced with the word "materiaL" (Requested by Police Department.) In addition, language should be added further defming "prostitution", as follows: 918.2-346. Being a prostitute or prostitution. A. Any person who, for money or its equivalent, commits adultery, fornication, any physical act with the intent to sexually gratify another, or any act in violation of 918.2-361, or offers to commit adultery, fornication, any physical act with the intent to sexually gratify another, or any act in violation of 9 18.2-361 and thereafter deesperforms any substantialmaterial act in furtherance thereof, shall be guilty of being a prostitute, or prostitution, which shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. B. Any person who offers money or its equivalent to another for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts as enumerated above and thereafter deesperforms any substantialmaterial act in furtherance thereof shall be guilty of solicitation of prostitution and shall be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor. Reauests related to f!eneral f!overnment. Legal Advertising. The City and its citizens expend tens of thousands of dollars annually to publish legal ads in newspapers, as required by various State laws for various types of notices. State law should be changed 6 to permit some of these notices to be given by the Internet or by radio or television, in order to reduce costs, or the required number of publications of such ads should be reduced. Examples: Section 15.2-2285. Notice of all zoning text amendments and rezonings must be advertised twice before they are considered by the planning commission, then twice again before being considered by the governing body. Section 15.2-2606.A. Two ads must be published for all public hearings on bond issues. Section 15.2-3107. Two ads must be published before localities can agree on voluntary boundary line adjustments. Section 15.2-107. Two ads must be published before zoning or subdivision fees, or sewer and water fees, can be imposed or raised. FOIA. An exemption should be added to Section 2.2-3711 of the Freedom ofInformation Act to permit governing bodies to discuss in closed meetings the granting of economic development incentives for projects which already have been announced publicly. Section 2.2-3711.5 ofthe Freedom ofInformation Act should allow public bodies to meet in closed session to deal with the possibility of the closing or relocation of a business. SCHOOL BOARD LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES City Council endorses the School Board Legislative Program in its entirety and attaches and incorporates it into the City Legislative Program. School Start Date. The City's School Board should be authorized to set its school calendar so that the first day students are required to attend school shall be no earlier than two weeks prior to Labor Day. (Del. Cleaveland introduced H. B. 771 in 2010; it did not get out of committee.) Education Funding. The state has a constitutional duty to meet its education funding obligations. The City supports full funding of state education programs including the Standards of Quality, incentive, categorical, and school facilities programs. The City opposes changes in methodology and changes in the division of fmancial responsibility that result in a shift of funding responsibility from the state to localities. As an example, the City opposes the elimination or decrease of state funding for state mandated benefits for school employees. The state should consider alternatives to generate additional funds to fulfill the constitutional commitment to education.

The City opposes policies that lower state contributions to education under the Standards of Quality or other programs, but do nothing to address the cost of meeting the requirements in the Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Learning. The state should not continue to maintain and increase educational requirements while at the same time decreasing state funding. Virginia High School League. The Virginia High School League (VHSL) is an important and influential part of the Virginia educational system. As such, City Council and Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS) believe it is important that the oversight and organizational structure of the VHSL be examined to ensure its mission, activities and decision-making processes are consistent with those of the state Department of Education and supportive of all Virginia school districts and the unique characteristics therein. 7 ~~ IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA The 18th day of October, 2010.

On September 5, 2010, the City Market Building was closed so that it could be renovated and then released for commercial uses consistent with the overall development plan of Downtown Roanoke. In order to facilitate the Market Building's renovation, various sources of funding have been identified for the project including cash, issuance of general obligation bonds of the City of Roanoke, and cash proceeds from the syndication of state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits and New Markets tax credits. Successful use of this complex structure of financing requires that the Market Building project be undertaken by an entity other than the City. In order to establish the appropriate project structure, the City has publicly invited bids' from interested parties to undertake the renovation, repair, and operation of the Market Building which will include issuing subleases to tenants operating in the Market Building. The lease term necessitated to su pport the tax credit financing is for a forty year period. Due to the length of the lease term, the Code of Virginia requires that the proposed lease be advertised for bidding by the pu blic and a pu blic hearing be held on the matter. An invitation for bids from the public was properly advertised and a public hearing and opening of bids was scheduled for October 18, 2010. Considerations: Public advertisements for an Invitation for Bids and for a Public Hearing on the matter were placed in the Roanoke Times on October 3 and 10, 2010, as required by the Code of Virginia. A copy of the necessary Bid Form, Proposed Lease, Proposed Buy-Out Option Agreement, Existing Project Contracts, and Proposed Ordinance were made available to the public in the City Clerk's Office on and after October 1, 2010. Bids were to be submitted to the City Clerk on or before Noon, 12 p.m., local time, on Monday, October 18, 2010. All such bids received at or before that time were held by the City Clerk, unopened, until 2:00 p.m., local time, Monday, October 18, 2010, at which time they were delivered to the Council Chambers and publicly opened and read aloud, all in accordance with Section 15.2-2102 Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. One written bid to Lease the Historic City Market Bu ilding Property, as mentioned above, was received by the City Clerk on or before Noon, 12 p.m., October 18, 2010. This bid was opened and read aloud at the 2:00 p.m. session of City Council in Council Chambers located in Room 450, Noel C.

The bid was from Market Building Partners, LP, by its general partner Market Building GP, LLC, to lease, renovate, repair and operate the Market Building, subject to certain terms and conditions as contained in the proposed Lease Agreement that was made available to the public as mentioned above. The matter was referred to the City Manager for review, evaluation, and to finalize the terms and conditions of such Lease Agreement. The final terms and conditions are subject to approval by City Council. A copy of the proposed Lease Agreement with attachments, is attached to this letter. In its submitted Bid, Market Building Partners, LP, agrees to enter into and be bound by the Lease Agreement to renovate, use, and operate the City Market Building; enter intoand be bound by the Lease Buy-Out Option Agreement, and other necessary related agreements and documents; pay rent of One Dollar ($1 .00) per year, paid in forty (40) annual payments, and commit to expend the funds necessary to renovate, equip, and operate the City Market Building as set forth in existing project contracts previously made available to thepu blic and any other associated contracts or expenses incurred by the City related to services to be provided to the Project.

Market Building Partners, LP, also intends to maintain the unique local flavor of the tenants in the Market Building in order to maintain the diversity and uniqueness that will make the Market Bu ilding a strong activity anchor in the heart of the City Market area. Market Building Partners, LP, has not requested any changes to the proposed Lease Agreement that was previously publicly advertised. The forty (40) year term of the Lease Agreement would commence on October 19, 2010, and end on October 18, 2050, unless sooner terminated as provided for in the Lease Agreement or by law.

The Premises are leased to Lessee in their present condition without representation or warranty by Lessor and subject to the existing state of title, and to all applicable Legal Requirements now or hereafter in effect. Lessee has examined the Premises and has found all of the same satisfactory for all purposes. Section 1.02. Sublease and Use. The Parties acknowledge and anticipate that Lessee, after completion of the renovation, may sublease the entire completed Premises to a sublessee under a master sublease in order to facilitate any tax credit financing that Lessee may utilize. Furthermore, Lessor acknowledges and anticipates that such a sublessee, may in tum ma~ter sublease the entire Premises to yet another master sublessee, which will ultimately manage the Premises through yet other subleases for specific space within the Premises. Any and all subleases shall require compliance with the applicable terms of this Lease, including Section 3 7965/27/3378023v9 1.02. The Lessor acknowledges the potential existence of such subleases and agrees to honor the terms of such valid subleases. Lessor agrees to enter into such reasonable non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreements as may be requested by any valid sublessee and/or its lender. During the Construction Term Lessee shall use the Premises for the sole purpose of undertaking the renovation thereof in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.02. After the Construction Term, the Lessee shall operate and manage, or cause to be operated and managed, the Premises as a public place, which may include appropriate retail sales, restaurant and food court vendors, and an area for public and private assemblies and gatherings. Lessee will endeavor to sublease the Premises, or cause the Premises to be subleased by a master subtenant(s), to a variety of tenants operating locally and regionally-based businesses (meaning based in the City of Roanoke, Roanoke County or a contiguous 10cality)("Intended Tenants"), but in the event that Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)) is not able to identify Intended Tenants that, in Lessee's opinion (or the opinion of its master subtenant(s)), are financially able to enter into subleases for reasonable terms as determined by Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)), then Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)) may sublease the Premises to other businesses. The Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)) shall not use the Premises for any other purpose without first obtaining the written consent of the Lessor, which consent Lessor agrees to not unreasonably withhold. After completion of the renovation, Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)) agrees to keep the Premises open to the public as many hours of the day and as many days of the week as the Lessee (or its master subtenant(s)) deems to be commercially reasonable for the successful operation of the Premises as a whole. ' For purposes of this Lease, any tenant that occupied the Premises as of July 1,2010, who was not in default and was current on all rental payments as of September 4, 2010, shall be deemed to be an Intended Tenant ("Prior Intended Tenants"). Lessor will provide to Lessee the identity of and contact information for each of these Prior Intended' Tenants on or before November 1,2010. Lessee agrees to provide, prior to offering spaces to other potential tenants, a notice to any such tenant that it shall have an Option of First Offer ("Option") to sublease from Lessee a similar space in the renovated Premises. The Lessee's notice shall provide that, in order to exercise such Option, the tenant shall provide written notice to Lessee of tenant's intent to lease such similar space within 30 consecutive calendar days of receipt of the Lessee's notice.. The tenant's failure to provide Lessee with a timely written notice shall result in the tenant's forfeiture of the Option. On receipt of the tenant's written notice, Lessee will provide the tenant with a form sublease containing terms and conditions acceptable to Lessee and shall thereafter, for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, attempt to enter into a new sublease with the tenant. If Lessee and the tenant are not able to successfully negotiate and execute a new sublease on or before the end of the forty-five (45) day period, then that tenant's Option of First Offer shall automatically expire and be null and void, unless the Lessee and tenant mutually agree to extend such time period. Lessee shall offer to a Prior Intended Tenant that exercises the Option, as part of an executed sublease agreement, an amount of build-out assistance of up to the following amounts, subject to available project funds: 4 7965/27/3378023v9 Retail/Non-Food Service Busine~ses $15,000 $35,000 Food Service Businesses All such build-out assistance shall be expended only on or for items and/or improvements that shall remain on the property of the Lessor upon the termination of any sublease, and may not be used for the acquisition of any personal property of the Prior Intended Tenant. Lessee shall have the sole discretion to negotiate in good faith with Prior Intended Tenants that exercise the Option, to substitute terms and conditions of a sublease agreement that may be of equivalent value and/or benefitto the tenant as the build-out assistance described above. Section 1.03. Term. This Lease shall run for the Term, unless terminated by the City Option or by law, or extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties. Section 1.04. Rent. Unless an Event of Default is occurring, Lessee shall pay no rent during the Construction Term.

Maintenance, Repair and Utilities.

The applicant, at its expense, shall submit a subdivision plat to the Agent for the Planning Commission, receive all required approvals of, and record the plat with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the City of Roanoke. Such plat shall combine all properties which would otherwise dispose of the land within the right-of-way to be vacated in a manner consistent with law, and retain appropriate easements for the installation and maintenance of any and all existing utilities that may be located within the right-of-way, including the right of ingress and egress.

Brian Townsend, Assistant City Manager Applicant City Council Page 3 October 18, 2010 Application Information Request: Permanent vacation of a portion of Patterson Avenue, SW Adjoining Owner/applicant Breakell, Inc. City Staff Person: Frederick Gusler, AICP Site Address/Location: 2314 Patterson Avenue, S.W. (Tax Map No. 1313101) Official Tax Nos. of 1313101 adjoining properties: -- Site Area: Approximately 100 square feet Existing Zoning: 1-1, Light Industrial District Proposed Zoning: nla ExistingLand Use: Unimproved right-of-way Proposed Land Use: Commercial Neighborhood Plan: Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan Specified Future Land Use: Industrial Filing Date: Original application filed August 5, 2010 Amended application NO.1 filed September 22, 2010 Background A portion of the applicant's retaining wall on the northeastern corner of the property is within the right-of-way. The applicant initially pursued an encroachment permit to correct this problem. Upon reviewing the applicant's plans, staff advised that a vacation of the portion of right-of-way affected by the encroachment would need to be applied for. The applicant proposes to use the vacated portion of Patterson Avenue to construct an addition between the existing structure and the retaining wall. The vacation would allow for this addition to be built entirely on the applicant's property while meeting zoning requirements. Considerations Section 30-14(5) of the Code of the City of Roanoke provides the following standard for consideration of street and alley vacation requests: "Following the hearing before the city planning commission on an application to alter or vacate a street or alley, the commission shall report in writing to the city council whether in its opinion, any, and if any, what inconvenience would result if the application were approved by council, and the commission shall report and make a recommendation to council as to whether the application should be approved." City Council Page 4 October 18, 2010 Vacation of the portion of Patterson Avenue, S.W., will not prohibit access to any other properties and will not change the current use of the property. The applicant has applied only for the amount of right-of-way needed to correct the encroachment. Surroundinq Zoninq and Land Use: Zoning District Land Use North 1-1, Light Industrial District Commercial South ROS, Recreation and Open Space District Railroad right-of-way, Recreation and Open Space East 1-1, Light Industrial District Industrial West 1-2, Heavy Industrial District Industrial Compliance with the Zoninq Ordinance: Vacation of the portion of right-of-way will not impact the zoning map. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan: The proposed vacation does not pose any conflicts with the future land use or transportation policies of the Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan or Vision 2001-2020, Roanoke's Comprehensive Plan. Public Utilities: Staff received comments from Verizon, Roanoke Gas and Appalachian Power Company. Appalachian initially expressed concerns with the vacation, however it submitted comments prior to the Planning Commission public hearing to state that its concerns had been addressed adequately by the applicant. City Department Comments: Public Works staff initially objected to the proposed vacation, stating the ROW should be maintained for future complete streets. However, the street design team (which includes Public Works staff) discussed this request and advised that there is enough right-of-way currently to vacate the subject portion and still achieve the desired complete street typical section. The team suggested the LCIND(2b) typical section on page 40 of the Street Design Guidelines, which is based on 50 feet of right-of-way. The segment of Patterson Avenue adjoining the applicant's property has 70 feet of right-of-way. Public Comments: None. City Council Page 5 October 18, 2010 PlanninQ Commission Discussion: The applicant amended the application at the Planning Commission meeting to add a proposed dedication ot right-ot-way at the northwestern edge ot the property, where an existing sidewalk was located on the applicant's property.

Planning Commission Public Hearing and Recommendation Planning Commission public hearing was held on Thursday, September 16, 2010. There was no one present to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed right-of-way vacation. Bya vote of 6-0 (Mr. Futrell absent), the Commission recommended City Council approve the proposed closure, and that the land should be conveyed at a value of $5,040.00, with such consideration reduced by the cost of the curb and gutter along the frontage. The applicant submitted an estimate of $5,400.00 for the curb and gutter installation. The estimate has been reviewed by the City's Development Review Coordinator and found to be accurate. The value of the curb and gutter exceeds the value of the right-of-way, so no payment to the City is recommended. The Commission further recommends that the vacation be approved subject to these conditions: 1. The applicant shall construct curb and gutter along the entire frontage of 24th Street adjacent to the northern boundary of the applicant's property, exclusive of any driveway entrance. 2. The applicant shall submit a subdivision plat to the Agent for the Planning Commission, receive all required approvals of, and record the- 'plat with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the City of Roanoke.

Respectfully submitted, ~~ Angela Penn, Chair City Planning Commission c: William M. Hackworth, City Attorney R. Brian Townsend, Assistant City Manager Applicant City Council Page 3 October 18, 2010 Application Information Request: Permanent vacation of a portion of 24th Street, SW Adjoining Owner/applicant T. Ward Mills City Staff Person: Frederick Gusler, AICP Site Address/Location: 2401 Avenham Avenue Official Tax Nos. of 1051910 adjoining properties: Site Area: :t 900 square feet Existing Zoning: RM-1 Proposed Zoning: n/a Existing Land Use: Unimproved right-of-way Proposed Land Use: Residential side yard setback area Neighborhood Plan: South Roanoke Specified Future Land Use: Residential Filing Date: August 5, 2010 Background The applicant owns the property at 2401 Avenham Avenue, S.W. The vacated right-of-way will enable the construction of an addition in conformance with minimum yard requirements of the zoning ordinance. The applicant submitted plans for a 3-car garage to be built onto the northwest corner of the house. The plans also include a retaining wall on the eastern side of the driveway into the garage. The required setback is 10 feet for this corner lot in the RM-1 district. The six feet of vacated right-of-way would allow the applicant to meet this minimum requirement. No sidewalk or curb and gutter exist along the segment of 24th Street where the right-of-way is proposed to be vacated. Considerations Section 30-14(5) of the Code of the City of Roanoke provides the following standard for consideration of street and alley vacation requests: "Following the hearing before the city planning commission on an application to alter or vacate a street or alley, the commission shall report in writing to the city council whether in its opinion, any, and if any, what inconvenience would result if the application were approved by council, and the commission shall report and make a recommendation to council as to whether the application should be approved." City Council Page 4 October 18, 2010 Vacation of the portion of 24th Street, SW will not prohibit access to any other properties and will not change the current use of the property. There will be no impact on vehicular traffic as the existing improved street will not be impacted. The applicant intends to construct a driveway entrance, therefore, staff recommends a condition that the applicant construct curb and gutter along the entire length of the frontage from the alley to the intersection of 24th Street and Avenham Avenue. The sale price of the property, established at $5,040, should be reduced to offset the value of improvements within the public right-of-way. Surroundinq Zoninq and Land Use: Zoning District Land Use North RM-2, Residential Mixed Density District Residential South RM-1, Residential Mixed Density District Residential East RM-2, R-5, Residential Single-family District Residential West RM-2, Residential Mixed Density District Residential Compliance with the Zoninq Ordinance: Vacation of the portion of right-of-way will not impact the zoning map. Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan: The proposed vacation does not pose any conflicts with the future land use plans or transportation policies of the South Roanoke Neighborhood Plan or Vision 2001-2020, Roanoke's Comprehensive Plan. Public Utilities: Staff received comments from Verizon, Roanoke Gas and Appalachian Power Company. There were no objections to the proposed vacation, however Appalachian Power Company has existing facilities in the area that require routine tree clearing. Since the facilities are within the existing City right-of-way, Appalachian Power is able to clear these trees under provisions of its franchise agreement with the City of Roanoke. Appalachian would require the applicant to sign an easement granting Appalachian rights to continue maintaining its facilities at this location. City Department Comments: Public Works staff initially objected to the proposed vacation, stating the ROW should be maintained for future complete streets. However, the street design team (which includes Public Works staff) discussed this request and advised that there is enough right-of-way currently to vacate the subject portion and still achieve the desired complete street typical section. The team suggested the L TN(1b) typical section on page 40 of the Street Design Guidelines, which is City Council Page 5 October 1 B, 2010 based on 50 feet of right-of-way. The segment of 24th Street adjoining the applicant's property has 60 feet of right-of-way. Public Comments: The president of Neighbors in South Roanoke said that the organization's board opposed the request if it impacted connectivity. He stated that the street should be maintained and sidewalk should be added. Planninq Commission Discussion: Mr. Williams questioned whether the installation of the curb and gutter would affect any future sidewalk construction and whether access should be from the alley rather than the street. Mr. Craig Balzer responded that access from the street would result in a much shorter driveway and would not require removal of trees. Mr. Talevi and staff discussed how the cost of the curb and gutter would be subtracted from the consideration paid for the land. Mr. Van Hyning asked if Traffic Engineering had looked at the request. Mr. Gusler advised that it was reviewed by the Street Design Team, which determined that the resulting right-of-way would accommodate a design that is in conformance with the Street Design Guidelines.
