Roanoke City Council Regular Session January 17, 2012
Statement by Rupert Cutler, 204 S. Jefferson Street, Suite 4, Roanoke, VA 24011
On Agenda Item 7.a.
Statement on Elmwood Park Improvements Update
Mayor, Members of Council, Mr. Morrill, speaking as a resident of downtown
Roanoke:
. I thank your staff and Hill Studios for their impressive good work on an affordable
plan for the improvement of my neighborhood park, Elmwood Park, and
. I urge you to direct staff to wrap up the planning process and start building these
improvements soon.
Lots of people are moving downtown. They need a convenient place to play.
Lots more people will come to Roanoke as visitors from near and far, and spend money
here, if Elmwood Park was more family-friendly and had a better stage for musical and
other productions with regional appeal.
When I was on that dais a few years ago, we were contemplating the
construction of a more expensive, covered amphitheater in this same location. A Wolf
Trap Park-like, roofed amphitheater may be in the cards for Roanoke some day,
perhaps where Victory Stadium once stood, but not today. We can't afford it. But
Elmwood Park needs an upgrading. The plan you'll be briefed on shortly accomplishes
what's needed and can be done now.
The plan includes a stage close to Williamson Road. The "back of house" area in
the plan conveniently allows trucks with sound and light gear to back right up to the
stage off Williamson. The stage building includes badly needed public restrooms. (I
wish there were restrooms located along other greenways as well.)
!
The plan calls for an interactive water feature similar to that found in Ellis Square
in Savannah. I've watched videos of children playing in that innovative fountain and can
see that it would be a big plus for Elmwood Park. I am normally not a fan of water
features because my home town of Detroit, Michigan, demolished a fine old city hall
made of sandstone in the heart of the city and put up a "water feature" there that
became a trash-filled eyesore. But I am assured that the water feature contemplated
has no standing water and is child-safe, so let's give it a try.
I like the proposed Magnolia Allee but have a concern that bikers and runners
using the Mill Mountain Greenway may not mix well with strollers along this "allee."
That important greenway connects Market Square with the top of Mill Mountain. Many
greenway users are single-minded about covering miles at a fast clip. The City of
Roanoke is famous for its long-standing, generous support of the regional greenway
trail program, and I am sure a way will be found, with widening of the path and markings
on the pavement, etc. to make it a safe multi-use corridor.
As a member of the Roanoke Arts Commission, I like the proposed Arts Walk.
Public Art Coordinator Susan Jennings has been involved in the planning process and
knows what kind of pedestals or other bases and backgrounds would be best suited for
temporary art of different kinds. I'm glad that the City's "percent for art" policy will be
applied here to pay for art pieces for the Arts Walk and that the Arts Commission will vet
proposed art for this highly visible location.
I like the proposed Elm Avenue Front Lawn. Such flat, green places to toss
Frisbees and play volleyball are desirable for the new neighbors that live in the Patrick
Henry. A coffee shop that serves both library and park patrons, using the "cage" area at
the back of the main library, would be popular as well.
You should feel free to reduce the density of the holly trees that surround the
park on Williamson and Elm and lower the high berms they're planted on. I am a tree-
hugger, but I think that opening and flattening those holly-covered "hills" would make the
park more inviting and appear to be more safe.
Finally, please bear in mind that Elmwood Park is a neighborhood park as well as
a destination. It needs to serve those of us who live downtown, with our kids, our dogs,
and our need to get out of our apartments and condos and grab some fresh air and
exercise. We are on our way to seeing Elmwood Park becoming an incredible urban
space.
Thank you.

Mr. Mayor and council
I urge that you postpone giving Hill Studios the go ahead for further design work and
engineering plans for Elmwood Park at this time. I visited the public display at the library
Thursday and was not impressed with what I saw and heard, especially after learning that the
final cost would be over nine million dollars. The plan doesn't properly utilize the available
land, provides for only two permanent bathrooms, has a stage complex that is located wrong, and
is over designed. The Hill plan in general does not make the best use of the area.
As I understand it, the purpose of the renovations is to make the park safer, more visible, more
accessible, more adaptable, and in general designed to lure more people downtown. My plan
does this at a fraction of the proposed cost of the Hill plan and, in my opinion, will better achieve
the desired results. An extra bonus is that my plan can be completed in its entirety in three to six
months.
The Hill plan and mine agree that the top of the park remain pretty much as it is now. The Hill
plan and I both agree as to what should be done to what they call magnolia allee and I call the
concourse. Bullitt Avenue is a street, not a walkway, except when partially closed for events.
The Social Security Administration demands that at least part of the street remain open at all
times, therefore the proposed arts walk can't happen as rendered. The chain across Bullitt wasn't
put there for looks. It is there to keep vehicles out, therefore is still needed. The Hill plan offers
only two permanent bathrooms open year round while my plans offers eight, designed so that
two would be open at all times. By simply unlocking two doors the other six could be utilized for
small to medium sized events reducing the need for Porta Johns. My plan also calls for a
storage/maintenance building as part of the bathroom complex, as well as, a dressing/rehearsal
room. I also propose two basketball goals, a Frisbee golf course, and at least two volleyball nets.
My plan will seat as many as the Hill plan but will leave the bowl area flat for many other uses.
The Hill plan, on the other hand, calls for terracing which will hinder the adaptability of the
bowl. Both plans basically agree on the tree removal needed to open up the park and the filling
of most, if not all, of the Lilly pond. I also propose a safety fence above the wall leading down
the hill.
In summary why spend a total of nine million when $500,000.00 will accomplish the same or
better results? Let's say I underestimated the cost of my proposal by 50% (which I haven't), it
would cost $750,000.00. Make it a 1000,/0 and it would still only cost $1,000,000.00 compared to
the Hill plan costing $9,000,000.00 or more when finally finished years from now.
I don't ask that you approve my plan. I do however, ask that you make the public aware of it and
let them decide which plan they like best. As I told you in May, I live in the county, so it's not
my tax dollars that you are spending. I will still visit the park when I want to regardless of what
is done. I just don't like government waste, and to proceed with the Hill plan would be waste on
a grand scale.

An analysis of how to best update Elmwood Park without spending millions to do so.
Elmwood Park has served Roanoke well for many years and can continue to do so even if
nothing is done. I feel, however, it needs to be "upgraded" to meet the present demands placed
on it. It needs to be more accessible, adaptable, safer, user friendly and designed so as to help
. attract more people for not only events, but for daily use as well. At the least, it should have
permanent bathrooms, be safer at night, and a new stage and seating arrangement.
The park, as I see it, consists of three parts: the "hill", the "bowl", and "the concourse"
With the possible additions of picnic tables (instead of park benches) and more lights I would do
nothing to "the hill".
I recommend the removal of the present (stage?) in the "concourse" and the concrete around it,
thus creating a continuous sidewalk like what is there.
The main changes I recommend to the "bowl" are a new stage, addition of bathrooms, storage,
and practice room (the practice room could be eliminated if a Library room could be used), and
reshaping of the "bowl" area. Having said this, I will now elaborate on the "bowl"..
I would first remove all small trees in the bowl, leaving only those big trees along Williamson
Road and possibly those around the parking lot. I would then reshape the "bowl" by moving
back the mounds that are presently in place. I would also change the sidewalk coming down the
hill so that it would go behind the present big tree, (possibly removing the tree) there so as to
create more space for people to view the stage. The entire "floor" of the park would be grassed
over and the "lily" pond filled and grassed as well, back to where the present equipment shack is
located. The bathrooms, etc. could be located in the area where the "shack" is now. I envision
this building to be about 45X15 if a dressing room is included or about 30X15 ifnot. It would
have 4 Men and 4 Women stalls (two of which would be HPC, 4 basins, electric hand dryers, and
baby changing stations. It would also contain a storage! maint space and a dressing/practice
room (provided the Library wasn't an option). Finally, at aprox. the center of the sidewalk
coming down the hill, I would construct a concrete raised stage (over floor of bowl) 25 feet deep
and 50 feet wide with two RCP ramps leading to it. It would have sides of concrete or "retaining
block", and a floor of concrete. It would have 2 strong triangle type poles in front and back (to
support lights,etc) and be designed so that the front and sides could have "rails" in place if
desired. It would have two RCP accessible ramps leading from the ground to the floor. I would
then plant hedges around it on the front and sides to act as a safety net should someone fall from
the stage. If desired, now or in the future, stadium seats could be constructed beside the parking
lot thus increasing seating capacity of the "bowl" and also creating a smaller stage area (in front
of the stands). I don't recommend the seats at this time.
I have absolutely no doubt that my proposal can be built for $ 500,000.00 or less and when
completed will be something all the citizens of Roanoke will appreciate. They will also
appreciate the millions saved by doing it this way.

WHAT MY PLAN OFFERS
1. A safer, more accessible, user friendly, adaptable, and environmentally sound park.
2. A better cost to benefit ratio for dollars spent ($500,000.00 vs. millions).
3. It retains the basic "footprint" of the park which most people like.
4. It will be easy to build, in a short time (no major engineering needed) and no exotic materials
needed
5. It will be easy to maintain, even with year round bathrooms.
6. It will be easy to change in the future if so desired. Stadium seats could be added for ex.
7. It will allow millions to be either spent on other needs or not spent at all.
8. It will provide the same "downtown" drawing power as the much more expensive plan.
9. It is what I truly feel that most people want, especially in this "tight budget" time.
10. It really isn't important what I think or council thinks, the people should have both proposals
presented to them and then council should do what the people want.

WHAT IS SUPERVISED VISITATION AND SAFE
EXCHANGE?
Domestic violence and child abuse are two of the most horrific social ills in the United
States today. Convincing a victim to leave his or her abuser is often difficult, and
unfortunately, even separation from the batterer doesn't guarantee freedom from
violence, especially if there are children involved. The U.S. Department of Justice
reports that domestic violence and abuse Can escalate among parents who have
separated because they remain in contact for child visitation and exchange purposes.
Sometimes the batterer may
become even more violeiit~
because he or she is struggling
to maintain control despite the
separation. Studies have
shown that lethal violence
actually occurs more
frequently during and after
separation than when the victim and batterer are still together. 1

Studies have shown that lethal violence actually occurs
MORE FREQUENTLY during and after separation
than when the victim and abuser are still together.
.-
_T.
An effective solution to this serious problem is supervised visitation and safe
exchange. These services are typically court-ordered services provided to families who
have experienced domestic violence and/or child abuse. Interactions between non-
custodial parents and custodial parents/children are monitored by a third party,
preventing further violence but also allowing non-custodial parents and children to
spend safe time together. Some of these families are considered high-risk, meaning
,
1 Guiding Principles: Safe Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Programs. U.S. Department
of Justice. http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/docs/guiding-principleso32608.pdf
that they have experienced unusually high levels of violence and require extra security
precautions to serve.
The U.S. Department of Justice has long recognized supervised visitation and safe
exchange as crucial services for families with histories of violence and encourages
communities to provide these services through visitation and exchange programs such
as Sabrina's Place.
FACTS ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHILD ABUSE
Abuse is more common than you think.
· One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
· Almost one-third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner.
· 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in
the household.
· In 2011 in the City of Roanoke, there were:
o 78 reports of domestic aggravated assault (serious injury or weapon used);
o 1,392 reports of domestic simple assault (no weapon used, minor injury);
o 714 reports of nonviolent family offenses (no assault but can include violation
of protective orders )
· Of the nine murders in the City of Roanoke in 2010, four of the victims were the
spouse, ex-spouse or significant other of the offender.
Abuse affects children for their entire lives.
· Witnessing violence between parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of
transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
· Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own
partners or children when they become adults.
· 14% of all men and 36% of all women in prison in the- USA were abused as
children.
.
· Children who experience child abuse & neglect are 59% more likely to be arrested
as a juvenile, 28% more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30% more likely to
commit violent crime.
· As many as two-thirds of the people in treatment for drug abuse reported being
abused or neglected as children.
· Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy.
The cost to the economy is high.
· Intimate partner violence results in more than 18.5 million mental health
care visits each year.
· The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, $4.1
billion of which is for dir~ct mepical a,nd mental health services. For child abuse and
neglect, the costs exceed $104
billion.
e Victims of intimate partner violence
lost almost 8 million days
of paid work because of the
violence perpetrated against them by
current or former partners. This loss
is the equivalent of more than
32,000 full-time jobs and
almost 5.6 million days of
household productivity as a
result of violence.
· There are 16,800 homicides and 2.2 million (medically treated) injuries
due to intimate partner violence annually, which costs $37 billion.
(Statisticsfrom the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (www.ncadv.org)
and ChildHelp (www.childhelp.org.)
SABRINA'S PLACE: HISTORY AND MISSION
In response to an increase in the number of domestic violence homicides in 2005, the
City of Roanoke created a domestic violence task force. The Domestic Violence Task
Force recognized that there was not a place in the City of Roanoke for high-risk families
to engage in supervised visitation and safe exchange. The City of Roanoke partnered
with Total Action Against Poverty (TAP) to acknowledge and address this need. The City
of Roanoke and TAP formed the TAP Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Program
(TSVSEP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence
Against Women (OVW). This grant program provides the opportunity for participation
in safe, victim-sensitive child exchanges and supervised parental visits to families who
are struggling to cope with
domestic violence, dating
violence, child abuse, sexual
assault and/or stalkjng.
TSVSEP (later renamed Sabrina's
Place) officially opened in
November 2007 at 339 Luck
Avenue. Now located at 335 Day
Avenue, Sabrina's Place is the
only comprehensive high-risk
supervised visitation and safe
exchange program in the state of
Virginia. It has received funding
from OVW for three consecutive years due to its quality of services that promote the
opportunity for both adult and child victims of domestic violence to have safe and secure
supervised visitations and exchanges.
"I will never forget the opening of Sabrina's Place, a
domestic violence refuge in downtown Roanoke named
for fatal victim Sabrina Reed. During the ceremony, as
the veil was pulled from a beautiful, smiling portrait of
Reed, her young daughter buried her head in a family
member's side and began weeping. It was all I could do to
maintain my role as detached observer."
- The Roanoke Times journalist Shanna Flowers
WHY "SABRINA'S PLACE"?
On February 29, 2008, the visitation center was renamed Sabrina's Place in memory
and honor of Sabrina Reed, who was brutally shot and killed by her husband, Robert
Reed, during the exchange of their daughter in September 2005.
Like many other domestic violence victims in the United States, Sabrina Reed had
attempted unsupervised visits and exchanges of their daughter with Robert Reed.
Unsupervised visits and ex~hanges provides a batterer with access to the victims and
presents an opportunity for inflicting further violence, power and control.
Sabrina's situation, among other victims who struggle to leave abusive relationships,
requires services that provide protection from the abuser. The children also need
protection from the trauma of witnessing and/or experiencing abuse.
WHO DOES SABRINA'S PLACE SERVE?
Many of the families served at Sabrina's Place have experienced domestic assault and
battery, rape, incest, child sexual and physical abuse, malicious wounding, severe
>',
substance abuse, and/or pet abuse. Some individuals who are served have been
diagnosed with severe mental health problems such as paranoid schizophrenia, multiple
personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, oppositional defiant disorder,
attention deficit hyperactive disorder, Miinchausen
syndrome, etc. A number of known gang members have
been court-ordered to participate in visitations at
Sabrina's Place. Sabrina's Place is also accessible to
diverse populations and utilizes interpretation services as
needed.
HO~FREQUENTLYARESERVICES
PROVIDED?
Sabrina Reed Most families engage in visitation and exchange for one
hour on a weekly basis. In a natural home environment, one hour may seem short, but
at Sabrina's Place, parents and children are spending a focused hour with each other.
For young children, even an hour can be a developmental stretch. Additionally, children
may have witnessed violence or frightening situations and they may be afraid or
uncomfortable during visits.
The majority of families served at Sabrina's Place are court-ordered. The length of time
a family utilizes services ranges from one month to four years or more. It should be
noted that sex-offenders, who are also served by Sabrina's Place, may be required to
have supervised visitation for an indefinite period of time.
SECURITY AND SAFETY
Sabrina's Place is seen as a model supervised visitation and safe exchange program due
to its reliable and innovative security measures. Due to the professionalism and
expertise of the staff and on-site security measures, Sabrina's Place has successfully
prevented further violence between victims and abusers during visitations and
exchanges. Policies and procedures maximize victim safety and batterer accountability.
Trained monitors remain in the visitation room during visits and local law enforcement
officers provide security for all participating families and staff.
From 2007 to 2011, Sabrina's Place has served over 150
individuals and has provided 1,609 supervised
visitations and 79 safe exchanges.
Staff are not only
knowledgeable about physical
security measures, but are also
trained on the battering tactics
used by abusers during
visitation and exchange
situations.
For example, abusers may engage in manipulative tactics that they know will intimidate
the custodial parents and children. These tactics may include projecting and placing the
blame on others; attempting to charm and then manipulate staff; frequently changing
the visitation schedule-to cause anxiety to parents and children; passing messages to
adults through the children; and bringing in toys to children that remind them of
previous abuse. Sabrina's Place staff is trained to recognize and protect families against
this continued abuse.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND RECOGNITION
Community Support:
· Sabrina's Place has received support from the community since opening in 2007.

interviews of the year. Ms. Flowers listed Sabrina's Place's open house (Feb.
2008) in her article. She stated, ''''I will never forget the opening of Sabrina's
Place, a domestic violence refuge in downtown Roanoke named for fatal victim
Sabrina Reed. During the ceremony, as the veil was pulled from a beautiful,
smiling portrait of Reed, her young daughter buried her head in a family
member's side and began weeping. It was all I could do to maintain my role as

consultant spoke highly about the skill level of Sabrina's Place staff and
commented that their knowledge was more advanced than many of the other
programs with which she has worked.

FEEDBACK
"". .
Bikers preparing for Sabrina's Place's Ride Against
Domestic Violence Poker Run, a 2011 domestic
violence awareness event.
Client Feedback:
Sabrina's Place staff conducts exit
interviews when clients transition out of
services. Respondents reported that
Sabrina's Place lessoned the impact of
violence on their families. Based on
responses, 100% of clients reported
feeling secure during visitation at
Sabrina's Place and 80% of custodial
parents surveyed reported that having
officers at Sabrina's Place made them
more comfortable during the visitations.
Professional Feedback:
Sabrina's Place staff conducts allied professional surveys annually. One of the questions
asked is, "Are supervised visitation and exchange services provided by Sabrina's Place
helpful to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, sexual assault
and/or stalking?" Of the professionals surveyed, the responses to this question were
overwhelmingly positive, with every respondent answering with a variant of "yes".
Further comments included: "Yes, this is the only place with the capacity and expertise
to monitor visitation in the hardest cases, and they do an excellent job of it;" "I have
heard from parents and professionals that they are happy that Sabrina's Place is
available to families who have experienced abuse. They have stated that without those
services in the community, DSS might be overextended, more than they already are,
with supervising visits with children;" and "I have only heard positive feedback about
Sabrina's Place from the victims that I have seen during follow-up with their criminal
cases. It fills a gap in services not available prior to its inception."

Sabrina's Place has served an increased number of families, individuals and
jurisdictions since its inception. From November-December 2007, it served 6 families
and 26 individuals from 3 jurisdictions (Roanoke City, Roanoke County and Salem). In
the six month period of January-June 2011, 38 families and 137 individuals from 8
jurisdictions (the counties of Bedford, Botetourt, Montgomery, and Wythe and the City
ofWaynesboro) have been served. There is a strong need for Sabrina's Place in the
community and the number of individuals requiring its services continues to rise.
FUNDING DECREASES
Sabrina's Place is injeopardy. It has been solely funded by a grant to the City of
Roanoke from the u.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women to
provide supervised visitation and safe exchange services primarily for the 23rd Judicial
District Court region. Three allocations have been made to the City of Roanoke as fiscal
agent for the TAP Sabrina's Place program.

As indicated above, though Sabrina's Place received a third cycle of funding, it is the
same amount of funding for the first cycle; however, it is to cover three years rather than
two years. This results in a decrease in funding, though Sabrina's Place is continually
serving more and more families every year, meaning that the need for funds is more
crucial. Please see the chart below, which illustrates the annual decrease in Sabrina's
Place's budget.

RESPONSES TO DECREASE IN FUNDING
The following changes have taken place to decrease expenses: there has been a
reduction in the number of monitors from seven to five; the full time program
coordinator now works on weekends to cover office monitor duties once a.ssigned to
other monitors; center hours of operation have been reduced from 31 hours per week to
20. These changes have also resulted in a decreased number of families that can be
served. Sabrina's Place used to serve as many as 35 families monthly; however, now can
only maintain services for 20 families.
Though changes have taken place to reduce expenses, it is still anticipated that Sabrina's
Place will be over budget by $50,137.99. The TAP Resources and Planning Department
is working to secure funding to cover these expenses and the City of Roanoke has
allocated $7,000 for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. TAP has allocated $5,782 from previous
fundraising activity (please note that OVW no longer allows fundraising activities by
OVW -funded staff).
The lack of adequate funding to provide valuable supervised visitation and safe
exchange services will be detrimental to the community. Victims of domestic violence
and their children will not have access toa safe environment for visits and exchanges.
Due to the need for this vital service, a Sabrina's Place Task Force has been formed
to develop long-term plans for Sabrina's Place. Representatives include units of local
government, domestic violence agencies, local departments of social services, law
enforcement, court personnel (a local judge) and officials at TAP.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SABRINA'S PLACE WASN'T
HERE?
If Sabrina's Place is forced to close its doors, hundreds of families will be denied
supervised visitation and safe exchange services. Some of these families may cease
visitation and exchange all together, resulting in some non-custodial parents being
completely unable to see their children. Yet many families will continue to engage in
visitation and exchange in the
l.
absence of a third party, placing
the victim at risk of continued
violence and further
traumatization of the children.
Remember - more lethal
incidents of domestic violence
take place during and after
separation than when the couple is together. And children who are exposed to domestic
violence often never recover: witnessing domestic violence as a child is the strongest risk
factor in becoming a violent adult, and child abuse is linked to future criminal behavior,
drug abuse and teen pregnancy.

Though changes have taken place to reduce expenses, it
is still anticipated that Sabrina's Place will be over-
budget by $50,137.99 by 2013.

Domestic violence is an intentional pattern of abusive behaviors that impacts everyone,
regardless of financial status, religion, race, sexual orientation or age. Domestic violence
disrupts households, causing untold harm to families. Supporting Sabrina's Place isn't
only a way to prevent violence among families, but is a way of ensuring the safety and
stability of the community as a whole.

I'm here to give an update on a supervised visitation and safe exchange program operated by
TAP in partnership with the City of Roanoke, the program is Sabrina's Place.
The purpose of Sabrina's Place is to provide a safe and secure environment for victims of
domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and child abuse to bring their
children for visits or exchanges with their batterer.
Sabrina's Place was organized after the City of Roanoke convened a Domestic Violence
Task Force, headed by Councilman Sherman Lea. The task force was organized after
several domestic violence homicides in the region. One of which being the murder of
Sabrina Reed in 2005. She was killed when her husband, who she was separated from,
came to drop off their daughter. Her husband not only fatally shot Sabrina Reed, but
also Sabrina's step father who subsequently died. It was the hope of the Domestic
Violence Task Force that systems and programs would be in place to protect victims
from such horrific crimes.
Sabrina's Place is named after Sabrina Reed. It is the only comprehensive high risk
supervised visitation and safe exchange program in the state.
Let me share some facts with you, which are also found in the report you received about
Sabrina's Place.
FACTS ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHILD ABUSE
Abuse is more common than you think.
It crosses all sQcial, economic and racial boundaries.
· One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
'-l"'?//fPI,'f ~ I WflYJli~LJ ~,~J'f
· Almost one-third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner.
· 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in
the household.
· In 2011 in the City of Roanoke, there were:
o 78 reports of domestic aggravated assault (serious injury or weapon used);
o 1,392 reports of domestic simple assault (no weapon used, minor injury);
o 714 reports of nonviolent family offenses (no assault but can include violation
of protective orders)
· Of the nine murders in the City of Roanoke in 2010, four of the victims were the
spouse, ex-spouse or significant other of the offender.
Abuse affects childrenfor their entire lives.
· Witnessing violence between parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of
transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
· Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own
partners or children when they become adults.
· 14% of all men and 36% of all women in prison in the USA were abused as
children.
· Children who experience child abuse & neglect are 59% more likely to be arrested
as a juvenile, 28% more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30% more likely to
commit violent crime.
· As many as two-thirds of the people in treatment for drug abuse reported being
abused or neglected as children.
· Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy.
The cost to the economy is high.
(Sta tis tics from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (www.ncadv.org)
and ChildHelp (www.childhelp.org.)
· Intimate partner violence results in more than 18.5 million mental health
care visits each year.
· The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, $4.1
billion of which is for direct medical and mental health services. For child abuse and
neglect, the costs exceed $104 billion.
· Victims of intimate partner violence lost almost 8 million days of paid
work because of the violence perpetrated against them by current or former
partners. This loss is the equivalent of more than 32,000 full-time jobs and
Sabrina's Place has been very successful; however, it is in jeopardy. It is funded by a
grant to the City of Roanoke from the US Dept. of Justice - Office of Violence Against
Women.
In 2006, it received $350,000 for a two-year period. In 2008, it received $300,000 for
a 2-year Pr~i?d. In 2010, it received $350,000 for a 3 year period. As you can see,
funds are%Creasing with each continuation grant.
OVW decreases funds and expects jurisdictions to provide resources to support the
program. TAP has done several things to decrease expenses. - Decreased operational
hours; decreased staff which has resulted in a decrease in numbers of families that can
be served - from an average of 32 a month to 20 a month. Even after these changes, we
anticipate a $50,000 shortfall. TAP will continue to pursue grant opportunities to
ensure that the program operates until Sept. 2013. We are working with interns to form
a separate 501C3; Friends of Sabrina's to assist in fundraising for Sabrina's Place since
staff is unable to conduct fund raisers. One of our legislators is researching several
avenues to see if the state can provide financial support.
An application for funding is expected to be released in early 2013 for the next
continuation grant. TAP is ineligible to apply for these funds. Only jurisdictions can
apply.
TAP will not be ablYt to cpntinue the program without adequate resources. Therefore, a
task force was (l~f?"\Y!l11:o discuss the Wturtp! Sabrina's Place and help to prepare for
its continuation. We're pleased that Chfi~Morrill s~rves.onJl~~~s~f9rce, al.?IDith
Brian Townsend, Jane Conlin and ChiefPerkinsi~J~f~rke also s:~1S1>r{the task
force. The task force recommended that a presentation be made to you about the status
of Sabrina's Place. Councilman Lea has agreed to join the task force.
We will be making presentations to the County and City of Salem. We need the support
of each of our jurisdictions if Sabrina's Place is to remain a service provided by this
community.

syndrome.
o Known gang members in our area have also used and
currently use Sabrina's Place to visit their children.
o The majority of families served are court ordered , but
referrals also come from attorneys, social workers,
counselors, and probation officers. Some families are
self referred.
o Sabrina's Place provides one hour, weekly visits for
families. The length of time that a family uses our
program can range from one month to an indefinite
period of time.
o Sabrina's Place is a unique program due to our safety
and security measures and policies and procedures
that maximize victims safety and batterer accountability.
o We employ trained visitation monitors that remain
in the visitation rooms at all times.
o We also employ Roanoke City police officers that
provide security. A police officer is always present
during operational hours.
o Staff have access to panic buttons in case of
emergency and we also have surveillance
cameras In use.
o We have staggered arrival and departure times for
families and have individualized safety plans in

o Sabrina's Place has become well known not only in our
community but across the United States.
o Sabrina's Place has received media attention thought
newspaper and magazine articles, radio interviews and

material with other programs across the United States.
We have also recently collaborated with a director of a
program in Guam to help with their policy and
procedure manual.
o In June 2010, I was asked to represent Sabrina's Place
by participating in a focus group for the .Office of
Violence Against Women. I was asked to share our
safety and security measures with professionals. As an
outcome of this focus group, a resource book for new
grantees will be published that will provide guidelines
for security measures at visitation centers.
o Last but not least, our greatest accomplishment is that
we have the ability to keep victims and their children
safe. It is my pleasure to introduce someone who has
been with Sabrina's Place for four years, Ms. Meirav
Bryant. Ms. Bryant is coming forward to share her
experience with Sabrina's Place.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To:
Meeting:
Subject:
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
January 17, 2012
Allow Flags and Pole-Mounted Banners to be Displayed for a
Continuous Period of 365 Days Within the CBD
Background:
City Council adopted an ordinance in 1991 that codified various requirements
and procedures for the installation of flags, banners and holiday decorations
. within public rights-of-way. Permitting the installation of such items by various
organizations and property owners has contributed to the vibrancy of our urban
environment.
In 2008, City Council amended the City Code to permit installation of flags and
pole-mounted banners in certain zoning districts outside of the Central
Business District (CBD) for a continuous period of up to 365 days. As a result,
pole-mounted banners have been successfully displayed by the Williamson Road
Area Business Association along Williamson Road and by the Grandin Village
Business Association along Grandin Road.
Pole-mounted banners in the CBD are presently limited to a maximum display
period of 60 days, the original goal having been to use this shorter duration to
create periodic turnover of flags and pole-mounted banners. With the
redevelopment that continues in the "West Station" district along the 300 and
400 blocks of Salem Avenue, a developer has been permitted to install five
"West Station" pole-mounted banners at his expense on existing AEP poles for
the maximum period of 60 days. The developer has further expressed a desire
for a permit to allow these pole-mounted banners to be displayed up to 365
days. Such duration is presently not allowed for this location by current
ordinances.
Considerations:
There has been no prior interest for installing flags or pole-mounted banners in
the portion of the CBD that is located west of 2nd Street, S.W. Notably,
decorative street light poles, which are useful for the display of flags, are
primarily located east of 2nd Street while the taller utility poles which are
appropriate for pole-mounted banners .are predominantly found west of 2nd
Street. Inasmuch as the goal for periodic turnover of banners has not been an
issue west of 2nd Street, a 365-day period for installation of flags and pole-
mounted-banners would be appropriate and is consistent with our experience
with district locations outside of the CBD (such as Williamson Road and Grandin
Road).
A proposed ordinance change has been developed that would allow flags and
pole-mounted banners to be displayed for a continuous period of up to 365
days from 2nd Street to the west (inclusive of 2nd Street) within the CBD.
Recommended Action:
City Council adopt the attached ordinance implementing the changes described
above to City Code Section 30-111.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To:
Meeting:
Subject:
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
January 17, 2012
Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Project Funding -
Water Quality Improvement Program
Background:
In December, 2008, City Council authorized the acceptance and appropriation of a
Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Water Quality
Improvement Fund Grant in the amount of $83,500. The funding was used for a
locally administered project entitled "Tinker Creek Greenway Stream Bank
Stabilization".
These funds, along with an appropriation of $99,441 in general revenue funds,
were used to restore and stabilize the stream bank along Tinker Creek Greenway at
Eastland Avenue, NE, Roanoke, Virginia.
Considerations:
The project has been completed. All contractor payments have been made and the
City has been reimbursed for all eligible costs by the DCR. The initial revenue
estimate and appropriation from DCR needs to be reduced to reflect actual
reimbursements and the remaining balance of General Revenue funds can be
transferred to the Capital Improvement Storm Drain Reserve account in order to be
utilized for other eligible projects. These actions will permit the .account to be
closed.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to:
1. Reduce the revenue estimate for this project by $5,475 and "de-appropriate"
state grant funds in the same amount from project account 08-530-9556-
9007, entitled "Water Quality Improvement Program".
2. Transfer the balance of funds, $16,509, from account 08-530-9556-9003,
Water Quality Improvement Program, to account 08-530-9575-9176, Capital
Improvement Reserve, Storm Drains.

Authorization to Refund Bonds to Achieve Debt Sen.'.ice Savings
Background:
The City's Reserve and Debt Management P9licy 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 sale 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. The City's goal will be to obtain net present value
savings, net of issuance costs, of at least 3% of the principal amount of the
refunded bonds, and to ensure compliance with the City's debt policies.
The bond series which are currently near or above the 3% point savings are
noted in the table below and included in the attached resolution.
Issue
Bond Amount
Series (in 000'5) Maturity Dates
2002B $ 12.000 October 1, 2002 to 2009 2011 2013.2015,2017,2019 and '2021
2003 26.385 Auqust 1 2004 to 2021 and 2024
2004B 46.000 February 1, 2006 to 2025
2005 3.975 December 1 2006 to 2020
2006A 29.555 February 1, 2007 to 2026
2008 45.990 February 1, 2009 to 2028 and 2033
2010A 44.925 October 1, 2010 to 2029
Considerations:
Based upon discussions with the City's financial advisor, Public Financial
Management, Inc, the City is currently in the position to generate savings from
the refunding of bonds. Since interest rates fluctuate daily, it is imperative to
the success ofa refunding that the City act quickly to take advantage of interest
rates to achieve an acceptable level of savings.
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
January 17, 2012
Page 2
In certain market conditions, investors may not prefer a high premium bond. In
this situation, a slightly higher level of principal may be issued than the amount
of bonds being refunded. Additionally, should a refunding take place, to the
extent that debt service on bonds is being provided by the Western Virginia
Water Authority (WVWA) or the Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS), debt service
savings wou Id accrue to those entities as applicable.
Under current market conditions, all or a portion of the Series 2002B, 2004B
and 2006A bonds represent a savings of $1.2 million, or 5.8% of refunded par
greater than the City's minimum policy limit of 3%. The City Finance
Department is planning to refund the Series 2002B, 2004B and 2006A bonds at
the same time the 2012 bond issue which will be sold in February, provided
interest rates remain favorable and savings of 3% or greater can be attained.
Recommendation:
Adopt the accompanying resolution authorizing the City Manager and the
Director of Finance to issue refunding bonds not to exceed $45 million
principal amount on or before June 30, 2013. Refunding bonds shall be issued
to refund all or a portion of the Series 2002B, Series 2003, Series 2004B, Series
2005, Series 2006A, Series 2008, and Series 2010A bonds if net present value
saving of 3% or greater of the net present value of the refunded bonds can be
achieved.

Application Information
Request: Amendment of Proffered Conditions (Ordinance No.
36108-101502)
Owner: SteveDav LLC (David Rao)
Applicant: James Settle
Authorized Agent: Krista Vannoy
City Staff Person: Maribeth B. Mills
Site Address/Location: 547 Campbell Avenue SW
Official Tax Nos.: 1112510
Site Area: 0.16 Acres Total
Existing Zoning: D, Downtown District with conditions
Proposed Zoning: D, Downtown District
Existing Land Use: Multifamily residential
Proposed Land Use: Hotel, multifamily residential, and eating establishment
Neighborhood Plan: Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan
Specified Future Land Downtown Development: Residential and Commercial
Use:
Filing Date: Original Application: November 1,2011 ,
Background
In the fall of 2002, City Council conditionally rezoned the subject property from Light
Manufacturing (LM) to Office (C-1) to establish eight multifamily units and office space
within the three existing buildings on the property. During the City's comprehensive
rezoning, the property's zoning classification was changed to Downtown District (D).
The proffered condition limiting use to office, multifamily residential (including home
occupation uses), and non-profit counseling facilities and services carried forward with
the property.
The applicant requests repeal of the proffered condition to permit the establishment of a
hostel (classified as a "hotel or motel" by the Zoning Ordinance) and an eating
establishment to the property. The hostel would occupy the two-story frame building
addressing Campbell Avenue SW and consist of shared sleeping rooms, restrooms,
and common areas. The one-story brick building at the corne'r of Campbell Avenue and
6th Street would contain the eating establishment which would be independent of the
hostel. Finally, the two-story brick building addressing 6th Street would continue to exist
as two residential units. The applicant plans to use on-street parking, the City's
Campbell Avenue parking garage, and shared use parking agreements with neighboring
businesses to accommodate parking needs. No changes to the site are proposed.
Proffered Condition to be Repealed
The applicant requests that the following proffer enacted by Ordinance No. 36108-
101502 be repealed as it relates to Official Tax No. 1112510:
1. Use of the property will be limited t~ (a) general and professional offices; (b)
home occupation use; (c) non-profit counseling facilities and services, excluding,
however, drug rehabilitation and/o'r substance abuse programs; and (d)
multifamily residential (so long as said multifamily use is approved by the Board
of Zoning Appeals). .
Considerations
Surroundino Zonino and Land Use:
Zoning District Land Use
North 1-1, Light Vacant building, professional office, and motor vehicle repair
Industrial establishments.
South D, Downtown Theater, movie, or performing arts (Jefferson Center).
East D, Downtown Contractor/tradesman ShOD and retail building supplies.
West D, Downtown Professional office.
Compliance with the Zonino Ordinance:
Surrounding properties have the equivalent Downtown zoning classification or a Light
Industrial zoning classification. They are also uninhibited by conditions and open to all
by-right uses permitted in their zoning district. Repealing the use condition will place
the subject property in the same standing as its neighbors.
2
The hostel is classified as a 'hotel or motel' by the City's Zoning Ordinance which is
defined as accommodations for travelers on a temporary basis. The interior will
undergo modifications to convert the building from a multifamily to hotel use. The
occupancy rate will be dictated by the building code. No changes are proposed for the
site. Any future site modifications would be required to meet the regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance during the comprehensive plan review process.
Conformitvwith the Comprehensive Plan and Neiqhborhood Plan:
Vision 2001-2020 and the Hurt Park/Mountain View/West End Neighborhood Plan
encourage the adaptive reuse of the City's historic resources which preserves them for
future generations while putting them to productive use. The subject property is ideal
for adaptive reuse as it is eligible for a number of incentives being located in a national
and state historic district, a 'Conservation Area' designated by the Roanoke
Redevelopment and Housing Authority, and Enterprise Zone One A. Repealing the
short list of proffered uses will significantly broaden the property's investment potential.
Vision 2001-2020 specifically calls for the establishment of a hostel in downtown as an
economic development action item as a way to encourage tourism. This location within
downtown is ideal for a hostel considering its close proximity to public and private
amenities.
Relevant Vision 2001-2020 policies:
. NH P4. Downtown neighborhood. Downtown will be developed as Roanoke's
premier urban village with a mix of high-density residential, commercial, retail uses
and live/work space.
. EC P6. Cultural and historic resources. Roanoke will support, develop, and
promote its cultural resources. Roanoke will identify, preserve, and protect its
historic districts, landmark features, historic structures, and archaeological sites.
· ED P3. Downtown. Downtown will continue to serve as the region's central
business district with opportunities for downtown living, office space, retail, and
cultural and entertainment attractions.
· ED P4. Tourism. Roanoke will promote tourism for the City and the region (ED A17.
Develop a youth hostel or other budget hotel accommodations in the downtown to
encourage hikers and Appalachian Trail enthusiast to visit Roanoke).
. IN P4. Parking. Roanoke will encourage on-street parking wherever possible and
discourage excessive surface parking lots.
Relevant Neighborhood Plan policies:
. Community Design Policies
a. Parking is recognized as a necessity, but should not be allowed to
dominate any development. Parking should be located primarily on-street.
. Economic Development Policies
a. Commercial establishments should be compatible with the neighborhood.
3
City Department Comments:
None.
Public Comments:
Rena Cromer (543 Day Ave. SW) submitted a letter of support for the request. She
noted that other similar sized cities, such as Asheville, NC, with proximity to outdoor
recreation resources, offered hostel style accommodations and that they had a positive
impact on surrounding busines~es and entertainment venues.
Planninq Commission Public Hearinq Discussion:
One member of the public spoke during the Planning Commission's December 15, 2011
public hearing.
1. Mr. Mike Levan (310 Darwin Road) asked what the referenced proffered
condition was. Ms. Mills responded that the applicant was requesting to repeal
the one condition placed on the property in 2002 which was read verbatim from
Ordinance No. 36108-101502 to Mr. Levan.

November 2nd, 2011
Narrative for Zoning Amendment Application:
a. Proposed use and development of the property: The property at 547 Campbell and
312 6th Street (same parcel) will be rehabilitated to a mixed-use development. There
are two apartments in the 6th Street duplex building, which will continue in that use. In
the main building there will be one permanent apartment of approximately 735 square
feet on the second floor. The remaining 2500 square feet will be configured to house a
European style hostel. If cost or building code constraints prohibit this use, then the
entire main building will be converted into four apartments, a use already permitted
under the current proffers. There is one 835 square foot commercial space attached
that will be rented to a small commercial use. The development will be rehabilitative
in nature and no demolition or new construction is planned.
b. Justification for the change: This property is already in the Downtown district,
which allows all the proposed t!ses by right. The existing proffers were created under a
different zoning ordinance and are no longer necessary, since this property was zoned
Din 2005.
c. Effect of the proposed amendment on the surrounding neighborhood: This
change will have a positive effect on the neighborhood; generating foot traffic of
legitimate users of the facility. New, permanent residents will continue the energy
from the Cotton Mill area. There is ample on street parking in the vicinity. Shared
parking agreements can be executed with neighboring businesses to make room for
hostel guests. Additionally, the City's Campbell Avenue garage is one block east and
would be available for secure resident and guest parking.
d. Availability of other similarly zoned properties in the City: There are no properties
in the Downtown district available that match this one for location or price.
e. Relationship of the proposed amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan and
the applicable neighborhood plan: The City's Comprehensive plan promotes mixed-
use development and downtown living and specifically calls for a hostel downtown (p
130).

IN THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA,
The 17th day of January, 2012.
No. 39298-011712.
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents
providing for the conveyance of a portion of City-owned property, designated as a portion of

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To:
Meeting:
Subject:
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
January 17, 2012
Request for Sale of City-Owned Property, Being a Portion of Tax Map No.
6472302
Background:
( 'James D. and Jerline S. Riddle own and reside at the property located at 3543 Laurel
Ridge Road, identified by Official Tax Map No. 6490605. By letter of interest, dated
August 3, 2011, Mr. & Mrs. Riddle expressed a desire to purchase a 6,374 SF portion of
the Countryside property (Official Tax Map No. 6472302). The land is located directly
adjacent to their property. (See attached exhibit).
The sale of this portion of property was specifically recommended by the Countryside
Master Plan because it would "square off" Mr. & Mrs. Riddle's rear yard, thus resulting in
a more harmonious relationship to future development and use of the Countryside
parcel. The proposed action would have no identifiable adverse impact on future use of
the remaining portion of the Countryside property, and would not enable the Riddle's to
further subdivide their property.
The Riddles have agreed to assume all costs related to the property conveyance,
including the boundary survey and preparation of a subdivision plat to combine the
acquired land with their existing parcel.
The value of the land is established at $0.30 per square foot, resulting in the proposed
sale price of $1,912.20. The value of the land reflects the current per square foot
assessed value of the former golf course property.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a deed, and any other appropriate documents,
approved as to form by the City Attorney, necessary to transfer a 6,373 square foot
portion of Tax Map Number 6472302 to James D. and Jerline S. Riddle for consideration
in the amount of $1,912.20.

No. 39299-011712.
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary documents
providing for the conveyance of a portion of City-owned property, designated as a portion of
Roanoke City Tax Map No. 6472302, (known as a portion of the Countryside property) to

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To:
Meeting:
Subject:
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
January 17, 2012
Request for Sale of City-Owned Property, Being a Portion of Official
Tax Map No. 6472302
Background:
Kenneth L. and Roseanne C. Saunders currently own and reside at the property
located at 2225 Mattaponi Drive, NW, identified by Official Tax Map No. 6431412.
By letter of interest, dated August 30, 2011, Mr. & Mrs. Saunders expressed a
desire to purchase a 10,525 square foot portion of the Countryside property
(Official Tax Map No. 6472302) which is directly adjacent to their property. (See
attached exhibit).
The sale of this portion of property is beneficial to the City because it will result in
less land that will need to be established as a naturalized area and the Saunders
will assume maintenance of it. The proposed action would have no identifiable
adverse impact on future use of the remai!1ing portion of the Countryside property.
,
The Saunders' have agreed to assume all costs related to the property conveyance,
including the boundary survey and preparation of a subdivision plat to combine the
acquired land with their existing parcel.
The conveyance of the land would not enable the Saunders' to further subdivide
their property. The value of the land is established at $0.30 per square foot,
resulting in a proposed sale price of $3,157.50. The value of land reflects the per
square foot assessed value of the former golf course property.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a deed, and any other appropriate
documents, approved as to form by the City Attorney, necessary to transfer a 10,
525 square foot portion of Tax Map Number 6472302 to Kenneth L. and Roseanne
C. Saunders for consideration in the amount of $3,1 57.50.
