We are opposed to the proposed development at 0 Brandon Ave as a Climate Justice issue and an Environmental Justice issue. Climate Justice issue: The established woodlands on the 0 Brandon property are a carbon sink that helps to mitigate the carbon emissions in our city. These woodlands need to be protected as a climate solution to help prevent extreme weather events that disproportionately harm marginalized communities. The woodlands provide a natural remedy to absorb stormwater runoff and help to prevent flooding downstream. It would not be fair for the people living downstream to experience flooding due to the development of this property. Environmental Justice issue: The proposed development would adversely affect the habitat for the endangered Roanoke logperch. Sincerely, Anne Lusby-Denham Leader Mothers Out Front - Roanoke Team �,D�a�y-(J yGa�/u old Remarks to Roanoke City Council, Monday, October 18, 2021 Mayor and Council Members, With my P visit in 90 days, it is tempting to simply glare at you all, the words being well understood, unspoken. But you won't be that lucky. I'm going to bring three requests on three related matters, starting with your response to the ongoing accumulation of apparent wrongdoing. When Councilman Jeffrey was indicted in July for felony embezzlement from the Northwest Neighborhood Environmental Organization, the reaction of others on this Council,was essentially a shoulder shrug that"it is a matter for the courts." Councilman Jeffrey made no explanation, and Council members requested none. In August, he was implicated in destroying public records as well as evidence on a city-issued iPad computer after the computer was taken by police in connection with their investigation. He has not been publicly cleared, and no explanation has been offered. Council's response, echoing the city's attorney, was to do nothing. It came to light by Roanoke Times coverage that Councilman Jeffrey's past is more checkered than voters knew, including a 2014 charge of credit card fraud that he resolved by restitution and community service, not acquittal. This month, he was indicted on new felony charges of obtaining public CARES Act funding by false pretenses, not from a private organization, but from Roanoke City's own Economic Development Authority. And once again, there is no explanation and no questions being asked. The silence from Council members is deafening. Not one of you has publicly invited Councilman Jeffrey to clear the air about the computer files, or to provide some public explanation for why police, two grand juries, and the Commonwealth's Attorney's office are all mistaken to think he committed several serious financial crimes or destroyed evidence and also destroyed public records in the process. A defendant has the right to stand mute before police and the court, and to stand innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in court. But he has no such rights as an elected official accountable to the public. Surely you understand the difference. Nor can you all avoid entanglement by doing and saying nothing.This is a public corruption problem that requires a public response that includes you. Let's set aside for a moment the calls for resignation or for leaves of absence. How about assurances of concern and cooperation? These matters have drawn widespread public attention in the press, yet to my knowledge, no council member, and neither the city attorney nor the city manager has made a public statement that the Council and the city will cooperate fully with the investigations and prosecutions in the public interest. Nor have you voiced concerns about appearances of impropriety, or even the well being of your own political party (for those of you who are Democrats). It seems as if you all have been recruited as silent cheerleaders on his behalf rather than vocal advocates for the public interest. I ask you to change course and give the public--the voters--a clear signal that you are not complicit, and that you are committed to upholding Council's reputation and the city's stewardship of public resources and public records. My second concern today is the city's response to the destruction of public records on Mr. Jeffrey's computer. It is a separate offense, reaching not only whatever evidence someone wanted to keep from police, but also other unrelated public records destroyed in the process. I asked the city attorney and the director of technology by emails and letter more than a week ago whether the city has made complaint to the police and Commonwealth's Attorney, what had been determined about the matter, whether the lost public records had been identified or recovered, and so on. I am still waiting for a reply. This matter was all over the news in August, and the public deserves follow-up. I ask the Council to update the public, and I ask the Council to publicly request and support criminal investigation into the destruction of public records that occurred. Thirdly, according to a September 22 investigative article in the Roanoke Rambler, the city paid $850.00 to ColorsVA Magazine for a large advertisement in June 2021 to congratulate the magazine on its sixth anniversary—which is not even a common periodic anniversary such as the 10`h, 25`h, or 100ih anniversary. The ad had no material purpose such as personnel recruitment or advertising city services. ColorsVA Magazine is wholly owned by Jeffrey Media Inc., which according to public records is a stock corporation owned by Councilman Jeffrey and his mother. At minimum, the transaction presents the appearance of a conflict of interest. Apart from bribes and gifts, Virginia's Local Government Conflict of Interest Act (Va. Code 2.2- 3100 et seq.), specifically Section 2.2-3107, prohibits a councilman from having a personal interest in a contract with an agency controlled by the Council. "Personal interest" includes ownership of the business with the contract. There are some exceptions such as competitive sealed bids, but I am not aware of an exception that applies in this situation. Violations of the conflicts of interest act are criminal (Section 2.2-3120), as well as a malfeasance (Section 2.2-3122). Contracts in violation of the Act can be voided or rescinded, and offenders are subject to civil penalty, as well (Sections 2.2-3123 and 2.2-3124). 1 ask that City Council look into this and provide either a public explanation for why you don't think it violated conflict of interest laws, or an assurance that the matter will be submitted to the Commonwealth's Attorney for further investigation and action (as provided by Section 2.2- 3126(B)).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 18, 2021 Subject: Shuttered Venues Operators Grant (SVOG) Background: The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program was established by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, and amended by the American Rescue Plan Act. The program includes over $16 billion in grants to shuttered venues, to be administered by Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Disaster Assistance. The grant is intended to provide support to live venue operators, promoters, and theatrical producers, live performing arts organization operators, museum operators and talent representatives in response to the impacts of COVID-19. In April of 2021 , Berglund Center staff applied for the SVOG. The City of Roanoke/Berglund Center was awarded $1 ,216,727.55 on August 4, 2021 . The Berglund Center subsequently applied for a supplemental grant amount from the SBA. In addition to the original award amount, on September 30, 2021 the Berglund Center has been awarded an additional $2,819,042.20 bringing the total grant award to $4,035,769.75. The funds were received on October 6, 2021 The deadline for the project or performance period to use or incur expenses expires December 31 , 2021for the entire $4.0 million. The budget period deadline to expend the funds is September 29, 2022 for the $4.0 million. Guidelines for expenditures are strict and are intended to enhance venues and provide support for reopening. Recommendations for use of funds did not change from the original award that was received. Considerations: City Council action is required for the acceptance and appropriation of Shuttered Venue Operators Grant funds. Recommended Action: Accept the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program from the SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance as described above and adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to authorize the Director of Finance to establish a revenue estimate and appropriate funds for $2,819,042.20 into expenditure accounts in the Grant Fund. ��-X --------------------------- Robert S.

Paving operations and reconfigured traffic markings provide improved rideability and safer roadway conditions for pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists in the City. Considerations: City Council approval is needed for this amendment to the FY21 Asphalt Concrete Overlays and Pavement Profiling contract as previous amendments for additional work plus the additional work referenced above result in total contract value of $4,167,661 .36 and represents a total increase of 26.5%. Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract amendment, as referenced above, to the City's existing FY21 Asphalt Concrete Overlays and Pavement Profiling contract for additional asphalt concrete overlays and pavement profiling in the amount of $315,411 .46, which will result in a total contract value of $4,167,661 .36 with Boxley Materials Company. Authorize the City Manager to take such actions and execute such documents, as may be necessary to implement such amendments to the Contract with Boxley Materials Company. Robert S.

Application Information: Request: Alley Vacation Applicant: Bill Chapman, 208 4'" Street LLC City Staff Person: Wayne Leftwich, Senior City Planner Official Tax Nos.: Adjacent to Official Tax Map Nos. 1010821 , 1010822, and 1010825 Site Area: Approximately 720 square feet Relevant Plans: the Downtown Roanoke 2017 Plan, 2017 Filing Date: August 24, 2021 Background: Bill Chapman seeks to vacate a 12-foot alley surrounded by 208 4" Street SW, 2104 1h Street, and 351 Campbell Avenue SW as part of the redevelopment of the property at 351 Campbell Avenue SW. The property will be split among the adjacent properties and a shared use area will be created in the vacated right- of-way. The shared space will be terraced and allow egress for the properties at 208 4" Street SW and 210 4'" Street SW. Considerations: The primary consideration in closing a public right-of-way is any inconvenience that the vacation may create. 2 Impact of Alley Vacation to Public Accessibility The alley proposed for vacation is a dead end alley that extends only 68 feet from the primary alley extending from 4" Street SW between Campbell Avenue SW and Salem Avenue SW. The alley currently only provides access the rear of the 208 and 210 4`" Street SW properties and the side of the 351 Campbell Avenue SW property. The public will not generally be affected by the vacation. Impact of Alley Vacation to Public Services: Public services and utilities will not be affected by this alley vacation. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: The City's Comprehensive Plan supports complete neighborhoods by allowing a mix of housing types in each neighborhood. The proposed alley vacation will help the revitalization of the surrounding buildings, including the transition of 351 Campbell into a mixed-use building with apartments that will help serve the Downtown area and the Salem Avenue Neighborhood Business Association neighborhood. The Downtown Roanoke 2017 encourages building on new growth to the west of downtown by encouraging redevelopment of vacant buildings. The alley vacation will help facilitate redevelopment of 351 Campbell Avenue SW and other buildings in the immediate vicinity. Comments on Application: Public Utilities: No utilities will be affected by the alley vacation. City Departments: The Fire Marshal's Office and the Building Division had comments related to the egress for the properties at 208 and 210 4`" Street SW. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan that shows how this issue will be handled. The Transportation Division also had concerns regarding the treatment of the rear patio that will be created and the separation of this area from the alley extending from 4'" Street SW that will remain as public right-of-way. The applicant plans to separate the area with planter boxes that are anchored in place and a screened trash can area. Transportation was satisfied with this separation. Planning Commission Work Session: No comments. 3 Public Comments: No public comments have been received. Planning Commission Public Hearing: No comments. Conclusions and Recommendations: The vacation of the right-of-way would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Roanoke 2017 Plan and the vacation would not create an inconvenience to the public. --------------------------- Karri B.

The erected barricade and the required modifications are subject to inspection by the City, including the Fire Marshal's Office and the Transportation Division. 3. The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with such barricade. 4. City Council retains the authority to authorize removal of the barricade. 5. The approved ordinance will include a revocable license for the Right-Of- Way behind the barricade, to relieve the City from snow-plowing and maintenance of the portion of right-of-way that will become inaccessible by the barricade, until such time as the barricade is removed and the City is notified of the barricade's removal. 6. If the above conditions have not been met within a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the adoption of this ordinance, then such ordinance will be null and void with no further action by City Council being necessary, unless extended by the Agent for the Planning Commission for an additional six (6) months prior to the end of the twelve (1 2) month period. Application Information: Request: Closure by Barricade of a portion of York Road SW Applicant: St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church City Staff Person: Wayne Leftwich, Senior City Planner Official Tax Nos.: Adjacent to Official Tax Map Nos. 1540330,1541117,1541116, and 1541202 Site Area: Approximately 5,500 square feet Relevant Plans: The Greater Raleigh Court Neighborhood Plan, 2007 Filing Date: August 23, 2021 Background: The applicant, St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church, seeks permission to close the end of York Road SW with a barricade to prevent vehicular traffic. Presently, York Road SW ends at the property owned by St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church. A driveway for the church extends from the end of York Road SW and continues on to connect the parking lot to Grandin Road SW. Frequently the driveway is used by through traffic and many do not realize the driveway is owned by the church. The Closure by Barricade will allow the church to install a gate that will prevent vehicular traffic. The driveway at Grandin Road SW will remain open to allow members of the church and visitors to access the parking lot. The closure by barricade allows York Road SW to be closed within an appropriate distance from the intersection of York and Northview Drive SW to allow for vehicles to turnaround at the closure. Considerations: The primary consideration in closing a public right-of-way is any inconvenience that the closure by barricade may create. Impact of Closure by Barricade to Public Accessibility: Currently, York Road SW dead-ends into the driveway and private property of St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church. Vehicles do often travel through the church property to reach Grandin Road SW from York Road SW and vice versa; however, when they are doing so, they are traveling across private property. Further complicating the matter, the property line crosses the road at a diagonal as opposed to a right angle. The angled property boundary hinders the ability of the church to effectively block the driveway at the property line. 2 The proposed closure by barricade will stop vehicles from crossing through the church property, and the position of the proposed barricade will be located close enough to Northview Drive SW to create an effective turnaround at the end of York Road SW, allowing vehicles to back up into Northview Drive SW to safely turnaround as needed. Imoact of Closure by Barricade to Public Services The proposed closure by barricade does not impact City of Roanoke public services. The proposed barricade will be locked with a Knox® padlock or with a Knox® box provided so Roanoke Fire and EMS may access as necessary. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: The City's Comprehensive Plan does not directly address this situation. However, St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church is planning to close the road to vehicular traffic only and are supportive of use by pedestrians and bicyclists, which is in keeping with the comprehensive plan. City Plan 2040 places an emphasis on increasing multimodal transportation options by prioritizing pedestrian and bicycle accommodations in and between neighborhood centers. The Greater Raleigh Court Neighborhood Plan identifies the area as Institutional and the closure by barricade would be in keeping with that future land use. Comments on Application: Public Utilities: No utilities will be affected by the closure by barricade. City Departments: All City Departments are amenable to the closure by barricade. Transportation has requested a revocable license for the Right-Of-Way behind the barricade, essentially removing the City's obligation to plow and maintain that section of street, as part of the ordinance. Planning Commission Work Session: No comments. Public Comments: Email in opposition from James Gooding received after public. 3 Planning Commission Public Hearing: No comments. Conclusions and Recommendations: The closure by barricade would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Greater Raleigh Court Neighborhood Plan and the closure by barricade would not create an inconvenience to the public. jKarri B.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 15.2-1800(8) and Section 15.2-1813, Code of Virginia(1950) as amended, a public hearing at which all citizens had an opportunity to be heard with respect to this matter was held by Council on October 18, 2021, for City Council to consider this matter. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke that: I. The City Manager and City Clerk are hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the City, to execute and attest, respectively, the necessary documents providing for the conveyance of a nonexclusive variable width access easement containing approximately 29,662 square feet, more or less, across City-owned property located in the County of Roanoke, Virginia, bearing Roanoke County parcel Identification No. 009.00-01-21.00-0000, to Jack Wimmer and Ann Wimmer, the owners of adjacent property bearing Roanoke County parcel Identification No. 009.00-01-25.00-0000, at the W immer's request, to provide access to the W immer's property, all as more particularly set forth in the City Council Agenda Report dated October 18,2021, and the attachment to such report. 2. All documents necessary for this conveyance shall be in a form approved by the City Attorney. 3. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of the City Charter, the second reading by title of this ordinance is hereby dispensed with. ATTEST: . '9�. City Clerk. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 18, 2021 Subject: Request for the Conveyance of a 25' Access Easement to Jack Wimmer and Ann Wimmer Across City-Owned Property Located in Roanoke County Background: Jack and Ann Wimmer are the owners of real property located at Carvins Cove in Roanoke County bearing Roanoke County Parcel No. 009.00-01 -25.00-000 (the "Wimmer Parcel"). The Wimmer Parcel is located adjacent to real property owned by the City of Roanoke ("City") located in Roanoke County bearing Roanoke County Parcel No. 009.00-01-21 .00-000 ("City Parcel 1 "). Both the Wimmer Parcel and City Parcel 1 are located adjacent to another parcel of City-property located in Roanoke County bearing Roanoke County Parcel No. 018.00-01 - 09.01 -0000 ("City Parcel 2"). These parcels are shown in the plat prepared by Lumsden Associates, P.C., dated November 2, 2020, attached to this report. By deed of easement dated November 2, 1999, the City conveyed a 25' access easement across City Parcel 2 to Norma Jean Sigmon, the former owner of the Wimmer Parcel. The Wimmer Parcel was subsequently conveyed by Norma Jean Sigmon to Jack Wimmer and Ann Wimmer by deed dated September 19, 2003. A gravel path, which had been constructed across City Parcel 2 pursuant to the 25' easement, was inadvertently continued by the Wimmers across City Parcel 1 to assist with access to the Wimmer Parcel, although the Wimmers had no claim of right to access City Parcel 1 . Consideration: Both City Parcel 1 and City Parcel 2, are subject to conservation easements held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation ("VOF") and Blue Ridge Land Conservancy ("BRLC") dated April 21 , 2008 and September 3, 2009, respectively on record in the Clerk of Circuit Court's Office for the County of Roanoke, Virginia (collectively, the "Conservation Easements'). The Conservation Easements contain restrictions limiting the development of both parcels which include, and are not limited to, (1) prohibiting the construction of new buildings, structures, roads, or utilities on the Grantor Property, except as stated therein, (2) limiting the use of Grantor Property to the following activities, nature, education and public recreation, and (3) prohibiting the removal and cutting of trees other than for the construction and maintenance of trails and roads. The VOF and BRLC have reviewed the proposed easement and consented to the conveyance of the easement to the Wimmers. In consideration for conveyance of the access easement, the Wimmer's have agreed to convey an access easement to the City across the Wimmer Parcel for the purpose of providing emergency access to adjacent areas of Carvins Cove. Recommended Action: After consideration of comments received at the public hearing and absent comments at the public hearing needing further consideration, City staff recommends that City Council adopt the ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a deed of easement substantially similar in form to the deed of easement attached to this City Council Agenda Report, for the conveyance of an access easement to Jack and Ann Wimmer. City staff further recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute a deed of easement accepting an easement from Jack Wimmer and Ann Wimmer across the Wimmers' parcel bearing Roanoke County Parcel No. 009.00-01 -25.00-000 for emergency access by the City to adjacent areas of Carvins Cove. All documents are subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney. Robert S. Cowell, Jr. City Manager Distribution: Council Appointed Officers W.

ATTEST: G'"03 � City Clerk. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Meeting: October 18, 2021 Subject: Request for Appalachian Power Company to Cross City- Owned Property in Roanoke County to Provide Service to Jack and Ann Wimmer Background: Appalachian Power Company ("APCO") has requested the City of Roanoke ("City") for the conveyance of an underground utility easement across City- owned property located in Roanoke County bearing Parcel No. 009.00-01 - 21 .00-000 ("City Parcel 1 ") and Roanoke County Parcel No. 018.00-01-09.01 - 0000 ("City Parcel 2"). The purpose of APCO's is to install equipment necessary to provide electric service to an adjacent privately owned parcel of land owned by Jack Wimmer and Ann Wimmer bearing Roanoke County Parcel No. 009.00- 01 -25.00-000 (the "Wimmer Parcel"). These parcels are shown in the plat prepared by Lumsden Associates, P.C., dated November 2, 2020, attached to this report. Consideration: Both City Parcel 1 and City Parcel 2, are subject to conservation easements held by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation ("VOF") and Blue Ridge Land Conservancy ("BRLC") dated April 21 , 2008 and September 3, 2009, respectively on record in the Clerk of Circuit Court's Office for the County of Roanoke, Virginia (collectively, the "Conservation Easements"). The Conservation Easements contain restrictions limiting the development of both parcels which include, and are not limited to, (1 ) prohibiting the construction of new buildings, structures, roads, or utilities on the Grantor Property, except as stated therein; (2) restricting the use of the parcels to nature, education and public recreation activities, and (3) prohibiting the removal and cutting of trees other than for the construction and maintenance of trails and roads. The VOF and BRLC have consented to the terms and conditions of the proposed easement from the City to APCO. City staff has reviewed APCO's request and recommends that the City Manager be authorized to convey a utility easement to APCO across City Parcel 1 and City Parcel 2 to provide electric utility service to the Wimmer Parcel. Recommended Action: After consideration of comments received at the public hearing and absent comments at the public hearing needing further consideration, City staff recommends that City Council adopt the proposed ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a Deed of Easement for the conveyance of the electric utility easement to APCO. Such Deed of Easement shall be substantially similar in for to the Deed of Easement attached to this City Council agenda report - approved as to fgfjp by the City Attorney. Robert S.

Considerations: Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: This property is located along a transportation corridor between two neighborhood commercial zoning districts to the west and northeast and surrounded by residential zoning districts to the north and south. • To the north are single-family dwellings, vacant properties, contractor or tradesman's shop, retail sales establishment, personal service establishment, multifamily dwellings, and car wash in the RM-1 , Residential Mixed Density District, CN, Commercial Neighborhood District, and RM-2, Residential Mixed Density District. • To the east are vacant property and single-family dwellings in the R-7, Residential Single-Family District. • To the south are single-family dwellings in the R-7, Residential Single- Family District. • To the west are personal service establishments, animal hospital or veterinary clinic without outdoor runs or pens, retail sales establishment, and health and fitness center in the CN, Commercial Neighborhood District. Staff finds no conflict among the proposed land uses and existing land uses. The mix of such uses exists harmoniously in neighborhoods throughout the city. 2 Applicability/Appropriateness of Proposed Zoning District: The development would be subject to the standards of the MXPUD, Mixed Use Planned Unit Development, district and supplemental regulations and development standards of the zoning ordinance. In a Planned Unit Development District, many of the dimensional regulations and land uses are defined by the PUD development plan. The proposed development plan displays the required information through graphics and text. Two overlay zoning districts govern the development's relationship to the stream. The property is located within the F, Floodplain Overlay District. Development of the property must meet standards related to location and elevation of structures. The property is also located within the RCC, River and Creek Corridors Overlay District. The riparian buffer standards of that district require that no principal or accessory uses or structures shall be permitted within the required riparian buffer. Streets are permitted within the buffer, provided impacts on the buffer are minimized. The development as proposed would comply with the requirements of these overlay zoning districts. Availability of Other Property: There are no other available properties of comparable size in the immediate vicinity that are zoned to permit this type of development. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: City Plan 2040 recognizes the need for the development of higher density residential uses surrounding neighborhood center areas in a manner that reinforces the physical and social fabric of the existing neighborhood. The currently vacant site is situated between two neighborhood commercial centers at the junction of three neighborhoods: Franklin/Colonial, Wasena, and Raleigh Court. The residential areas surrounding the neighborhood centers are all of higher densities than the property under consideration for rezoning, with the exception of the southern tip of the westernmost neighborhood commercial area. The areas to the north of Brandon Avenue are all of a higher density traditional neighborhood development pattern, while most of area to the south of Brandon Avenue is a less dense early suburban development pattern. The area is comprised of residential, commercial, and vacant properties, many of which are within the floodplain.

The future land use plan from the Franklin Road/Colonial Avenue Plan designates this area for single-family medium density. There is an apparent conflict between the general comprehensive plan recommendations and the specific future land use designation of the property in the Franklin Road/Colonial Avenue Plan. City Plan 2040 has strong direction to locate higher densities of development around existing or planned neighborhood commercial areas. Locating high density residential in and near neighborhood centers was an idea that was carried forward from the previous comprehensive plan. In summary, there is no definitive assessment on consistency with adopted plans. The proposal conflicts with a specific future land use designation of a 2004 neighborhood plan while advancing a general recommendation of the comprehensive plan adopted in December 2020 (as well as the previous comprehensive plan it replaced). 7 Comments on Application: Planning Commission Work Session: Discussion by the Planning Commission in its work sessions considered outreach to the community, mitigation of stormwater impacts within the riparian buffer area, design standards for the townhouse units, clarification of existing treed areas to remain, fire department access, transportation concerns regarding the turn lane and entrances, and corrections needed within the application to reflect zoning requirements. The applicant submitted Amended Application No.1 to address concerns noted above. Interdepartmental Comments: General comments were provided from the Western Virginia Water Authority, Parks and Recreation, Fire, and Planning Building and Development departments related to: water and sewer availability, streetscape design requirements, building and zoning subdivision requirements, and the permitting process. Public Comments: Based on the volume of public comment received on this application, the comments received as of October 9, 2021 , are included as Attachment B. Public comment has focused on traffic, stormwater, flooding, green space, the number of units, site and building design, and the need for more housing options within the City. Conclusions: Density: As previously noted, the property is located at a junction between three neighborhoods immediately adjacent to two neighborhood center areas. The density of the proposed development is compatible for a higher density residential area transitioning from a neighborhood center to a single-family residential area. The increase in density for the entirety of the parcel is relatively minor with proposed development providing approximately 4,900 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit in place of the currently required 7,000 square feet per dwelling unit. It is important to note that the properties just to the north of Brandon Avenue only require 3,500 square feet per dwelling unit. Building Form: However, although higher density residential areas are recommended in the comprehensive plan in such locations, they must be done in a manner that reinforces the physical and social fabrics of the surrounding existing neighborhoods. No specific guide for the design of multifamily building types 8 exists in the comprehensive plan or neighborhood plan. Using rationales from our Urban Design Manual, Residential Pattern Book (completed in 2008) referenced in later neighborhood plans, Neighborhood Design Overlay District, and good planning practice, we compared the proposed development form to the by-right form allowed in the adjacent commercial neighborhood area and surrounding residential areas. The development pattern in the form and massing of the proposed development is compatible for a higher density residential area transitioning from a neighborhood center to a single-family residential area. The front yard setback at eight feet is less than the minimum 20 feet required for the current R-7 District but greater than the zero foot setback allowed in the adjacent CN District. The setback is also sensitive to the desire to leave a buffer along Murray Run that traverses the center of the property. The side yard setback is five feet or greater as noted on the development plan in place of the three foot setback required for the current R-7 District and the zero foot setback allowed in the adjacent CN District. The height of the buildings at three stories is compatible with the majority of the two story dwellings within the existing neighborhood areas. Furthermore, the form of the buildings is broken down into modules with separate roof forms that are approximately 150 percent of the size of the single- family dwellings that populate the traditional neighborhood north of the site. This size is an appropriate transition between the scale of buildings allowed in commercial neighborhood areas to the scale of buildings permitted in the surrounding residential areas. There is an easily recognizable and accessible primary entrance that faces Brandon Avenue. The ample window openings that are vertically and horizontally aligned are appropriate for the area as depicted on the front building elevations. The materials proposed for the first floor are structurally durable. In addition, the vehicular accommodations are to the rear and side of the buildings in a manner that respects the traditional residential neighborhood precedent. Stormwater: Murray Run is an impaired waterway and encroachment into the existing riparian areas could cause further impact. As development is proposed with the private street in the riparian buffer, it is important to minimize the development footprint within that buffer, establish appropriate riparian plantings along the north side of Murray Run to the private street, and to widen remaining buffer areas. The Amended Application No.1 addresses these items on the development plan. It is also recommended that all water quality measures be addressed on- site in lieu of purchasing off-site credits during the development review process. Traffic: The Transportation Division assessed the developer's proposal to construct 54 apartment units and 15 townhouse units and found the development could generate approximately 404 daily trips with 25 and 32 trips respectively during the morning and afternoon peak hours. 9 In summary, the development plan (EX-A) from the Brandon Village development provided by Balzer & Associates on September 17, 2021 , showing two right-in, right-out driveways, and one westbound left turn lane, provides general conformity with requests made by the Transportation Division over the course of reviews for this development with the important exception of providing westbound egress from the development onto Brandon Ave. Additional reviews based on survey-level site plans are required to ensure that the above features meet City and State roadway standards. Therefore, configuration, alignment, or other details for the driveways and turn lane may change based on future project reviews. A more detailed traffic analysis is included in Attachment C. Tree Canopy: The proposed tree canopy coverage of over 40% would exceed the minimum 20% coverage that would be required under the current zoning district. Summary: The Amended Application No.1 introduces a wider range of housing options to the neighborhoods along the Brandon Avenue transportation corridor immediately adjacent to two existing neighborhood centers on a previously developed parcel that has long been vacant. As a planned unit development, future development would be subject to the standards of the MXPUD, Mixed Use Planned Unit Development plan, along with supplemental regulations and development standards of the zoning ordinance. Overall, the proposed development is appropriate for this parcel adjacent to two neighborhood centers and across the street from higher mixed density residential. Notwithstanding the apparent conflict with the future land use designation of the parcel, Commissioners believe that the location is appropriate for higher-density residential development. The comprehensive plan clearly recommends higher density within and near neighborhood centers. Neighborhood plans, either explicitly or by reference, have advocated this development pattern over many years because of the symbiotic relationship created by proximity. This consistent message, reinforced in most neighborhood plans, is a compelling reason to support higher density on this parcel because of its proximity to existing neighborhood center development on a transportation corridor. Public Hearina7 Freeda Cathcart, President of the Grandin Court Neighborhood Association, stated that Grandin Court Neighborhood Association voted to oppose the project. She also stated, as a director of the Soil and Water Conservation District, that she has concerns regarding development of the property as the 10 woodland is both soaking up the water to prevent flooding and acting as a carbon sink that prevents heat build-up in the area. She stated that she is also concerned that the log perch in the Roanoke River could be impacted by the stormwater from the development. She stated that she is also concerned about neighbors downstream that would be impacted by the development. John Garland, 923 Oakwood Drive, stated that he opposed the proposed development 4 years ago while on City Council. At that time, he evaluated the project, walked the property, and wrote a report, which the Planning Commission now has. He is a signer of the petition against the project. He stated that if the intersection was configured differently and Murray Run did not go through the center of the property, that this development would be approved. He stated that the density is only met because it is an average over the entire site, and that density is actually higher along the front of the property and less in the rear. He stated that the 50ft riparian buffer is not met in many places, the right-out only exit is problematic, and the left turn lane into the development would be dangerous. He stated that the proposal is worse this time because it adds the townhouses in the rear of the property. Sheila Sexton, 1557 Brandon Avenue, stated that 69 dwelling units are proposed that with two cars each will generate 138 vehicles entering the corridor at any given time of day, while 30 single-family homes would only generate 60 vehicles entering the heavily travelled corridor. She stated that anyone living in the area considers this their back yard. Barbara Deurk stated that she is for clean air, clean water, connectivity, and community for a healthy community. She stated that additional housing has been provided to-date by creative repurposing of existing buildings. She stated we need additional housing, but not at the expense of our clean air, clean water, connectivity, and community. She stated that each of these would be negatively impacted by this development through more vehicles, stormwater runoff, and reduced connectivity to the neighborhood centers. William Hopkins,Jr.,1102 Oakwood Drive, stated that the corner of Brambleton and Brandon and the corner of Brandon and Main are not viable village centers as they are not walkable and there is no place to gather. He stated that no one will walk on future sidewalks, if built, and that the density proposed will not be a catalyst that causes the village center to do well. Cathy Greenberg, 1029 Oakwood Drive, stated that the plan is not substantially different than previously proposed. She stated the developer only spoke about Options A and B and she thinks there is another option like the development that was built on Martin Street between Welch and Overland. She stated this development is too close to the street. She stated that the General Federation Women's Club of Roanoke opposes the development due to the impact on the watershed and woodlands. 11 Diane Tapscott, 1019 Sherwood Avenue, stated not much has changed from the development proposal from four years ago. She stated the Mr Fralin held a community meeting at 1 pm. She stated that Robert Fralin was invited to community meetings, but did not attend. She stated that many people in the community do not think the project is good enough for the neighborhood and asked him not to develop the property. Alexander Boone, 5760 Reserve Point Lane in Roanoke County, stated that he lives in the county because he could not find a home in the city. He disclosed that he is not involved on this project, but is involved with Mr. Fralin in other businesses. He stated that he was not asked to speak but is here today because this proposed development is an important project for the City of Roanoke. He stated that he had looked at purchasing the site in 2010-12 and declined as it is a tough site to develop. He stated that this is a needed project here for four reasons. The first reason is the Brandon and Main area is a gateway to many areas of Roanoke, including Towers shopping center, Downtown, southwest Roanoke, and Raleigh Court, and this development can create a gateway with a nice development. The second reason is that traffic improvements are needed here and this project can help pay for them. The third reason is that Roanoke needs housing at all price points as people are not coming to Roanoke for lack of housing options and this location is great for housing. The fourth reason is that the alternative use by-right is terrible for land use and traffic for the area. He stated the proposed development is good for Roanoke and that the Fralin development team will be good neighbors. Commissioners, the applicant, and staff discussed and clarified various features of the proposal, including how the site could be developed by right with single- family dwellings with multiple access points and the impacts on the surrounding area, a possible future greenway development by the City along Murray Run, the analysis of traffic from the proposed development and the impact from it on the surrounding neighborhoods, how stormwater regulations would regulate stormwater from the proposed development, the appropriateness of higher density residential development immediately adjacent to neighborhood center areas in this location, the appropriateness of the architectural form of the buildings in a transition area between a neighborhood center and surrounding single family dwellings, and the streetscape along the frontage of this property and how it links to surrounding properties. Commissioners considered how the guiding principles of City Plan 2040 would be implemented, noting how the new housing would fill a need in an appropriate location adjacent to the neighborhood center, how the proposed architecture of the buildings would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, how the traffic generated would be accommodated on adjacent streets, and how the streetscape and pedestrian accommodations would be improved. 12 Kam, .B.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publishes the Trip Generation Manual, the national standard by which traffic volume projections are made for various land uses. Using the trip generation manual, a comparison below is made between the by-right use of the property and the proposed use under the rezoning request. In examining the by-right use of the property along Brandon Ave, 13 of the lots could directly abut Brandon Avenue with driveways for each property on the eastbound side of Brandon. In this case, the construction of 13 single-family homes would be expected to generate approximately 123 daily trips with 10 and 13 trips respectively during the morning and afternoon peak hours. In comparison, the developer's proposal to construct 54 apartment units and 15 townhouse units could generate approximately 404 daily trips with 25 and 32 trips respectively during the morning and afternoon peak hours. The focus of traffic analyses is typically for the peak hour of traffic, believing that if traffic can be accommodated during the peak hour, traffic can be accommodated during off-peak periods. Afternoon peak hours generally carry more traffic than do morning peak hours. The ITE Trip Generation Manual reflects this and projects fewer trips during the morning than the afternoon. The projected afternoon peak hour trips include vehicles entering and leaving the site. According to the ITE Manual, 64% of the vehicles during this peak hour or approximately 20 vehicles would be expected to enter the site during the afternoon. Consistent with traffic patterns on Brandon Ave, approximately 55% of the through traffic during the afternoon peak is headed west, meaning that approximately 11 westbound vehicles would be expected to turn left into the site during the afternoon. The proposed development includes a separate westbound left-turn lane that can store approximately 4-5 vehicles and would be sufficient for the expected peak hour traffic volume. The remaining 9 vehicles entering the development from the eastbound direction would turn right into one of the two proposed right-in / right-out only entrances. The 12 vehicles projected to exit the site during the afternoon peak hour are nearly split evenly in the east and westbound direction of travel. However, it is important to note that the concept plan provided does not provide egress from the development for westbound travel. This plan omission remains an issue from a transportation perspective. Discussions between the developer and the City to address the westbound egress issue include a driveway connection to Brambleton Ave or reconfiguring the existing Brandon Ave and Main St intersection to incorporate the development's proposed easternmost driveway entrance. When comparing the additional traffic generated by the development, the 19 additional afternoon peak hour trips projected for the apartment and townhouse development compared to the by-right development would not be expected to affect existing street traffic operations significantly. Comparatively, the proposed development also includes fewer entrances/exits onto Brandon than single-family housing, and the development's addition of a protected westbound left-turn lane would help mitigate impacts on traffic operations along Brandon Ave. In summary, the development plan (EX-A) from the Brandon Village development provided by Balzer & Associates on September 17, 2021 , showing two right-in, right-out driveways, and one westbound left turn lane, provides general conformity with requests made by the Transportation Division over the course of reviews for this development with the important exception of providing westbound egress from the development onto Brandon Ave. Additional reviews based on survey-level site plans are required to ensure that the above features meet City and State roadway standards. Therefore, configuration, alignment, or other details for the driveways and turn lane may change based on future project reviews. 16 Department of Planning,Building and Development Room 170,Noel C.Taylor Municipal Building 215 Church Avenue,S.W.

The total acreage being rezoned is 7.76 acres +/-, The property is currently vacant (and has been for over 40 years) with an existing creek, Murray Run, bisecting the property from west to east. The zoning amendment request allows for the development of the property as higher density residential uses including varying housing types to meet current demand and respond to housing shortages within the City of Roanoke. This new development utilizes the available property wisely, while preserving areas with steeper slopes, floodplains, and sensitive environmental areas along Murray Run. This parcel and its location/context are unique in the fact that this area is at the edge of three (3) neighborhoods. It is located within the Franklin Road/Colonial Avenue, but borders with the Wasena and Greater Raleigh Court neighborhoods as well. The context of this area along with the existing development patterns support a higher density village center setting. This request would support this direction and would be complimentary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses while supporting the efforts of the comprehensive plan The attached Development Plan — Brandon Village (EX-A) indicate the layout of the proposed improvements on the site. The proposed development includes four (4) new multi-family buildings with a total of fifty-four (54) dwelling units and 15 townhomes in three (3) groups. The development plan concentrates the multifamily buildings and parking improvements along the public right-of-way of Brandon Avenue. The townhomes are concentrated within development nodes to allow for denser development, while maintaining/preserving surrounding areas included wooded areas and existing floodway/floodplain. This allows the balance of the site, including the existing creek, to remain in its current condition. Murray Run is an important part of this project and similar to how the Roanoke River is the show piece of the Roanoke Valley, Murray Run will provide a comparable connection to the outside environment for this community. A riparian buffer has been provided alongside Murray Run with limited encroachments and has been expanded to significant widths in some areas where available for additional protection. The proposed multifamily buildings are three stories tall and will be located along the frontage of Brandon Avenue. The community parking area will be primarily located behind the buildings. The buildings will be accessible from the public right-of-way and from the interior parking area. Conceptual perspective views of two buildings are provided in the rezoning package as Exhibits B and C. The buildings have been located and designed with an architectural quality to provide a positive and inviting community while maintaining an appropriate scale for this area. The design hierarchy will provide an appropriate transition between the commercial property to the west and the residential property to the oast. The architectural designs of the proposed buildings are shown to provide appropriate building patterns, materials, and styles to ensure an attractive development that complements the surrounding community. Entry features and sidewalk connections are shown for each building to improve the strectscape and pedestrian connectivity along Brandon Avenue. The proposed townhouses will be three stories tall and complimentary to the multifamily building in architectural style and materials. The townhouses will be grouped as shown to create pockets of improvements while preserving the surrounding areas including the creek. Each townhouse group will have a small parking area for guest parking and/or include a garage for each unit as applicable. The buildings will be accessible from the interior of the overall community access drives. See attached exhibit D for additional details. Brandon Village will be accessed via two proposed public entrances on Brandon Avenue. The first entrance will be a right-in, right-out, left-in only entrance on the western side of the property. Left-out movements will not be allowed at this location in order to enhance the safety of the entrance and to maintain traffic flow along Brandon Avenue. A dedicated left turn lane will be constructed to separate vehicular traffic accessing the development from traffic accessing Brambleton Avenue further to the west. The second entrance will be a right-in, right-out only entrance on the eastern side of the property. Left turns in and out are physically restricted by the existing tragic median. Pedestrian accommodations are provided along Brandon Avenue and throughout the proposed development through the provision of sidewalks and street trees that provide connectivity between the buildings, parking areas, and the adjacent public street. The proposed development will be coordinated with the Brandon Avenue safety improvements being installed by the City of Roanoke Transportation Division. This project will add to these safety improvements by installing public sidewalks, landscape planting strips, and street trees to further the City's efforts for their Complete Streets Policy. This project is consistent with the guiding themes outlined in the City of Roanoke's newest Comprehensive Plan — City Plan 2040. Some of the most impactful themes incorporated into this proposal include Livable Built Environments, Harmony with Nature, and Resilient Economy. The proposed project creates a positive transitional use between the existing residential neighborhood, neighborhood commercial uses to the west and creates another opportunity for a true village center. This project is positioned at the intersection of Main Street and Brandon Avenue creating a unique opportunity to build on the character of the existing neighborhood while providing a unique residential community integrating the existing environmental features into the community design. On behalf of Brandon Village, LLC we are requesting approval of this application for zoning amendment. This project will allow a previously vacant and undeveloped site to be improved into a residential community complimenting the existing village center with a compatible and site-sensitive design and providing Roanoke City with needed and desired housing options. �� v, -� ...•.0 s....a. ewe wmm. wm.m uw,n. o.e s w r rs x m rc sr s e.. }K F � J t Z Y O ® m g� n EX-A E � t Brandon : Conceptual Brandon Village EXHIBIT C •N RuwvAc Kgimm BALZER 18-Unit Conceptual Perspective :\ fill .w Brandon Village — Zoning Amendment Legal Description' 7.765 ACRES LYING SOUTH OF BRANDON AVENUE BEGINNING AT AN IRON PIN FOUND ON THE SOUTH LINE OF BRANDON AVENUE; THENCE ANLONG AND FOLLOWING SAID SOUTH LINE OF BRANDON AVENUE N 82°54'19" E A DISTANCE OF 745.72' TO A POINT; THENCE LEAVING THE SOUTH LINE OF BRANDON AVENUE WITH A CURVE TURNING TO THE RIGHT WITH AN ARC LENGTH OF 52.85', WITH A RADIUS OF 30.00', WITH A CHORD BEARING OF S 46°37'48" E, WITH A CHORD LENGTH OF 46.2770 A POINT; THENCE S 03°50'05" W A DISTANCE OF 212.62' TO A POINT; THENCE S 86°09'55" E A DISTANCE OF 10.0070 A POINT; THENCE S 03°50'05"W A DISTANCE OF 225.41' TO A POINT; THENCE N 88°55'55"WA DISTANCE OF 42.20' TO A PIPE FOUND; THENCE S 14°20'51" WA DISTANCE OF 13.74' TO AN IRON PIN FOUND; THENCE N 87"57'14" WA DISTANCE OF 783.54' TO AN IRON PIN FOUND; THENCE N 11'36'05" E A DISTANCE OF 369.4970 AN IRON PIN FOUND ON THE SOUTH LINE OF BRANDON AVENUE; SAID IRON PIN FOUND BEING THE POINT OF BEGINNING, HAVING AN AREA OF 338250.51 SQUARE FEET, 7.765 ACRES LYING IN THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA. TURN LANE ANALYSIS FOR Brandon Avenue Apartments Brandon Avenue City of Roanoke, Virginia B&A PROJECT #04210036.00 DATE: June 1 , 2021 REVISED: September 17, 2021 B&ZER & ASSOCIATES PLANNERS ARCHITECTS ENGINEERS SURVEYORS 1208 Corporate Circle Roanoke, Virginia 24018 Phone (540) 772-9580 Introduction: This traffic study is being provided to analyze the turn lane warrants for a proposed multi-family development located on Brandon Avenue in the City of Roanoke. The property is tax parcel 1250801. The site area is approximately 7.56 acres. Two entrances are proposed on Brandon Avenue to access the site. The western entrance is proposed as a right-in, right-out, left-in entrance and the eastern entrance is proposed as a right-in, right-out entrance. It should be noted that a new striping plan has recently been implemented along this section of Brandon Avenue, which reduced the number of travel lanes and also provided pedestrian and bicycle lane improvements. Existing Daily and Peak Hour Traffic on Brandon Avenue: AADT = 20,000 (provided by the City of Roanoke in 2017) Dir. Factor = 0.5257 (assumed based on VDOT data for other sections of Brandon) K Factor= 0.085 (assumed based on VDOT data for other sections of Brandon) A 1% growth factor per year was applied to the 2017 AADT traffic data provided by the City of Roanoke to reflect the traffic data for the full buildout year of 2022. **The peak direction of traffic was assumed to be eastbound in the AM peak hour and westbound in the PM peak hour. Please see Attachments 1 and 2 for the 2019 VDOT traffic data for Brandon Avenue that the direction factor and peak hour factor were derived from.** 2022 Background Peak Hour Traffic Data 939 vph -y (846 vph) Brandon Ave. Prop.

(please see Attachment 3). The policies and procedures found in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, were employed to determine the potential site generated traffic volumes for the proposed development. Traffic volumes for the average weekday and weekday peak hours of the adjacent street traffic are provided and illustrated in the Table and Figure below, respectively. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that 40% of vehicles enter from the west and that 60% enter from the east. It was assumed that 50% of exiting vehicles will utilize the eastern entrance and 50% will utilize the western entrance.

PM Peak Hour Analysis: - 4 Vehicles per Hour Turning Right into site from Brandon Avenue - Advancing Volume = 850 VPH -- Left Turn lane Requirement, as per VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F: None Warranted(please see Attachment 6). 4 Conclusions: Based on the data provided, the assumptions made, and the potential site generated traffic, the results of the analysis are: • No right turn lanes or tapers are warranted on Brandon Avenue for the proposed multi-family development. • A 100' left turn lane is warranted on Brandon Avenue for the proposed development based on the new striping pattern in front of the site and utilizing the nomographs for 2-lane roadway. Based on conversation with City staff, a 100' turn lane and 50' taper will be provided at this entrance. This will provide the proposed development with a dedicated left turn lane, while maximizing the stacking available at the Main Street approach to the signal. The new turn lane shall be constructed outside of the existing left turn lane for Brambleton Avenue. 5 ATTACNMENTI Virginia Department Engineering Division Traffic Engineering Division 2019 Annual Average Daily Traffict Volume Estimates By Section of Route City of Roanoke ---------Truck---------- K Dir Route Length MDT GA OTire Bus 2Axle 3+Axle Mail 2Trail GC Factor OK Factor AAWDT GW Year Grusin Rd 9020 Mud Lick Rd 1.43 2900 G 98% 0% 1% 0% 01% 0% F 0.136 F 0.659 3100 G 2019 CS I I B.Mon Ave Brandon Avc El eow Edgewood Ave 0.76 6200 G 98% 0% 1% 0% 0% 0% C 0.103 F 0.501 6600 G 2019 Mcmaeiy Ave d wan qw ozo Memorial Ave 0]1 5300~ G 98% 0% 1% 0% 0% 0% F 0.113 F 0.533 5700 G 2019 Grislin Rd Williamson Rd wzz Hershberger Rd 0.60 9900�.

Multifamily housing(mid-rise)(Land Use 221), multifamily housing (high-rise) (Land Use 222), and off-campus student apartment(Land Use 225)are related land uses. Additional Data In prior editions of Trip Generation Manual, the low-rise multifamily housing sites were further divided into rental and condominium categories.An investigation of vehicle trip data found no clear differences in trip making patterns between the rental and condominium sites within the ITE database.As more data are compiled for future editionsthis land use classification can be reinvestigated. For the three sites for which bath the number of residents and the number of occupied dwelling unit=_ were available, there were an average of 2 72 residents per occupied dwelling unit For the two sites for which the numbers of both total dwelling units and occupied dwelling units were availablean average of 96.2 percent of the total dwelling units were occupied. This land use included data from a wide variety of units with different sizes,price ranges, locations. and ages. Consequently, there was a wide variation in trips generated within this category. Other factors, such as geographic location and type of adjacent and nearby development, may also have had an effect on the site trip generation. Time-of-day distribution data for this land use are presented in Appendix A. For the 10 general urban/suburban sites with data.the overall highest vehicle volumes during the AM and PM on a weekday were counted between 7:15 and 8'.15 a . and 4 45 and 5'.45 p.m., respectively. For the one site with Saturday data,the overall highest vehicle volume was counted between 9:45 and 10:45 a . For the one site with Sunday data,the overall highest vehicle volume was counted between 11:45 a . and 12'45 p.m. For the one dense multi-use urban site with 24-hour count data, the overall highest vehicle volumes during the AM and PM on a weekday were counted between 7.00 and 8'.00 a.m. and 6.15 and 7.15 p.m., respectively. For the three sites for which data were provided for both occupied dwelling units and residents,there was an average of 2.72 residents per occupied dwelling unit. The average numbers of person trips per vehicle trip at the five general urbamsuourban sites at which both person trip and vehicle trip data were collected were as follows: • 1.13 during Weekday, Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic, one hour between 7 and 9 a.m. 1.21 during Weekday. Peak Hour of Adjacent Street Traffic. one hour between 4 and 6 pm. The sites were surveyed in the 19805, the 1990s, the 2000s,and the 20105 in British Columbia (CAN), California, District of Columbia, Florida,Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ontario,Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,Tennessee, Texas, Utah,Virginia,and Washington. It is expected that the number of bedrooms and number of residents are likely correlated to the number of trips generated by a residential site.Many of the studies included in this land use did not indicate the total number of bedrooms. To assist in the future analysis of this land use,it is important that this Information be collected and included in trip generation data submissions.

The total acreage being rezoned is 7.76 acres +/-. The property is currently vacant (and has been for over 40 years) with an existing creek, Murray Run, bisecting the property from west to east. The zoning amendment request allows for the development of the property as higher density residential uses including varying housing types to meet current demand and respond to housing shortages within the City of Roanoke. This new development utilizes the available property wisely, while preserving areas with steeper slopes, floodplain, and sensitive environmental areas along Murray Run. This parcel and its location/context are unique in the fact that this area is at the edge of three(3) neighborhoods. It is located within the Franklin Road/Colonial Avenue, but borders with the Wasena and Greater Raleigh Court neighborhoods as well. The context of this area along with the existing development patterns support a higher density village center setting. This request would support this direction and would be complimentary to the surrounding commercial and residential uses while supporting the efforts of the comprehensive plan The attached Development Plan — Brandon Village (EX-A) indicate the layout of the proposed improvements on the site. The proposed development includes four (4) new multi-family buildings with a total of fifty-four (54) dwelling units and 15 townhomes in three (3) groups. The development plan concentrates the multifamily buildings and parking improvements along the public right-of-way of Brandon Avenue. The townhomes are concentrated within development nodes to allow for denser development, while maintaining/preserving surrounding areas included wooded areas and existing floodway/floodplain. This allows the balance of the site, including the existing creek,to remain in its current condition. Murray Run is an important part of this project and similar to how the Roanoke River is the show piece of the Roanoke Valley, Murray Run will provide a comparable connection to the outside environment for this community. A riparian buffer has been provided alongside Murray Run with limited encroachments and has been expanded to significant widths in some areas where available for additional protection. The proposed multifamily buildings are three stories tall and will be located along the frontage of Brandon Avenue. The community parking area will be primarily located behind the buildings. The buildings will be accessible from the public right-of-way and from the interior parking area. Conceptual perspective views of two buildings are provided in the rezoning package as Exhibits B and C. The buildings have been located and designed with an architectural quality to provide a positive and inviting community while maintaining an appropriate scale for this area. The design hierarchy will provide an appropriate transition between the commercial property to the west and the residential property to the east. The architectural designs of the proposed buildings are shown to provide appropriate building patterns, materials, and styles to ensure an attractive development that complements the surrounding community. Entry features and sidewalk connections are shown for each building to improve the streetscape and pedestrian connectivity along Brandon Avenue. The proposed townhouses will be three stories tall and complimentary to the multifamily building in architectural style and materials. The townhouses will be grouped as shown to create pockets of improvements while preserving the surrounding areas including the creek. Each townhouse group will have a small parking area for guest parking and/or include a garage for each unit as applicable. The buildings will be accessible from the interior of the overall community access drives. Brandon Village will be accessed via two proposed public entrances on Brandon Avenue. The first entrance will be a right-in, right-out, left-in only entrance on the western side of the property. Left-out movements will not be allowed at this location in order to enhance the safety of the entrance and to maintain traffic Bow along Brandon Avenue. A dedicated left tum lane will be constructed to separate vehicular traffic accessing the development from traffic accessing Brambleton Avenue further to the west. The second entrance will be a right-in, right-out only entrance on the eastern side of the property. Left turns in and out are physically restricted by the existing traffic median. Pedestrian accommodations are provided along Brandon Avenue and throughout the proposed development through the provision of sidewalks and street trees that provide connectivity between the buildings, parking areas, and the adjacent public street. The proposed development will be coordinated with the Brandon Avenue safety improvements being installed by the City of Roanoke Transportation Division. This project will add to these safety improvements by installing public sidewalks, landscape planting strips, and street trees to further the City's efforts for their Complete Streets Policy. This project is consistent with the guiding themes outlined in the City of Roanoke's newest Comprehensive Plan — City Plan 2040. Some of the most impactful themes incorporated into this proposal include Livable Built Environments, Harmony with Nature, and Resilient Economy. The proposed project creates a positive transitional use between the existing residential neighborhood, neighborhood commercial uses to the west and creates another opportunity for a true village center. This project is positioned at the intersection of Main Street and Brandon Avenue creating a unique opportunity to build on the character of the existing neighborhood while providing a unique residential community integrating the existing environmental features into the community design. On behalf of Brandon Village, LLC we are requesting approval of this application for zoning amendment. This project will allow a previously vacant and undeveloped site to be improved into a residential community complimenting the existing village center with a compatible and site-sensitive design and providing Roanoke City with needed and desired housing options.

Justin Hathaway— athaway [EXTERNA_L] Fralin Development on Brandon Avenue CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders. Good Morning, I am concerned about the proposed development along Brandon Avenue by Robert Fralin. I live in the Old Southwest Neighborhood and drive through that Brandon Avenue/Main Street intersection almost daily. From what I have read, this is almost the exact same proposal that was put forward in 2017 that was ultimately rejected by the City Council. Besides the amount of traffic that will be added there, I am concerned that the development will encroach upon the floodplain and floodway. With climate change making storms and flooding events worse, all it takes is one flood for this entire development to be wiped out or significantly damaged. I work for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and know first hand what these types of storms can do. I also find it laughable that the developer has deemed this development an "affordable housing project' per their most recent comments at the Roanoke Planning Commission meeting. Apartments starting at $950 and townhomes starting at $275,000 greatly omprice some of the other homes on Brandon Avenue leading up to the Towers Shopping Center. If this development does go through, I hope the Council can convince Fralin or stipulate that more should be done to make the development more affordable for lower income individuals and families. I urge the City Council to reject this proposal again. Thank you, Justin Hathaway October 9, 2021 Reference: Robert Fralin building proposal on Brandon near intersection City Council members: I am a resident of Roanoke city who lives not far from the proposed site. I am aware of the many potential problems with development on this site,from flood plane to increased traffic issues,to destruction of green space, and more. I realize Mr. Fralin owns this property now and is considering either 12 or more houses,or apartment buildings/townhomes, both which will present a problem at this location and is not deemed favorable by the surrounding neighborhoods. urge the council to consider this carefully.Though development will continue in Roanoke and surrounding areas, it is vitally important and your duty to carefully weigh the impact to green space,tree canopy and species, at a time when it Is more important than ever,and should be a top consideration of everyone and implemented with any construction in any area and a returned implementation within the budget for tree canopy and green space upkeep and replacement. I cannot imagine houses or apartment buildings/townhomes in that proposed site, but if laws dictate that something must be allowed, less is more and strict considerations for adequate tree buffer left along with tree canopy throughout site with consideration to impact of species.There should be a strict enforcement of all these considerations with any development now and in the future. \�I P ar ,� / 9 Roanoke,va j Frailin Property Project planning t.,: Susie McCoy > Tina Carr 10/14/2021 03:49 PM Lindsay Aker planning/Employees/City—ofRoanoke Susie McCoy/Employees/City_of_Roanoke@City_of_Roanoke I ndcayAF rrFelplavaec Lrt/ �f_Roano City of Hoo rope =lr 1, Tina Carr/Employees/Clty_of_Roanoke planum IrJ 9 Frailin Property Project ----Forwarded by Tina Carr/Employees/Cityo%Roanoke on 10/14/2021 0349 PM From.

To whomever it may concern. would like to voice my opposition to the proposed Fralin Property project on Brandon Avenue that the planning commission Is about to consider.54 apartments and 14 townhouses would easily bring with them between 200 230 extra vehicles on a daily basis traveling Brandon Avenue between Colonial Ave and Brambleton. This would create more traffic congestion in an area that already has serious traffic problems.According to one report that I have read,since 2013,the Brandon corridor has seen 183 vehicle accidents.37 Injured pedestrians,Pull deaths. Finally,I believe this project would create unnecessary stress to the neigh berhond on Brandon and cause harmful degradation to an already over taxed environment.

Between Sept 23'a and October 5th, there were 3 car accidents on Brandon between Brambleton Avenue and Towers Mall. Two were during rush hour, and the one was at school dismissal time. 2. The pictures that follow show the three accidents. The plans for the 0 Brandon development has exits and entrances on this very stretch of road where the accidents occurred. Part B. 1. The apartments planned for development at 0 Brandon Avenue will continue to add traffic into and from the already congested part of Brandon Ave at the Brambleton and Main Street intersections. 2. The DOT statistics used for the 0 Brandon Ave plan were collected during the time people were locked down at home during COVI D. As expected, the current Brandon traffic is much heavier than the developers' report indicates. 3. The development plan will add traffic from 54 apartments and 15 Townhomes.This addition to the already dangerous road will be even more detrimental to the City's previous plan to alleviate traffic. 4. 0 Brandon Avenue Proposal contains a no Left Turn policy,forcing exiting west-bound traffic to make a U turn in order to travel to Patrick Henry, Grandin Ave, Peters Creek, Salem, etc.The 11t available U turn is a left onto Main Street and then a left on Sherwood or Windsor. Both roads designated as school zone for Wasena Elementary, as Sherwood is the Front Entrance and Windsor is the Back. Exhibit A of the plan is included, annotated for this presentation. 5. The pictures that follow show the Wasena Elementary School Zone and congested residential streets of Raleigh Court into which the plan intends to divert Brandon Avenue U-turn traffic. Part C. 1. The previous 0 Brandon Avenue development plan was rejected by the city in 2017 because the former city council recognized the traffic hazards and had numerous other issues with the plan. Neighborhood Associations and Petitioners spoke out against the plan in 2017, and are campaigning against it again in 2021. 2. The developer is back for another try, this time adding 15 townhomes to the 2017 plan. Part A: Approaching Brandon and Brambleton Avenue just before 0 Brandon Ave and Main Street.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders. Dear Council Members, 1 wanted to voice my opposition to the proposed project at the Intersection of Brandon and Main Street/Wasena. I travel this area several times each day and there is rarely a time when the intersection is not packed with traffic. The traffic going toward Towers will increase as soon as the Wasena Bridge project is underway. I do not believe that a large project in this area will benefit anyone except Fralin. I was especially offended by what seemed to be a veiled threat by either Fralin or McCahill in the Roanoke Times, "The property,which Fralin did not own in 2017 but owns now,will be developed, McCahill and Fralin said. "There's only so long that we can carry this land without making it perform," McCahill said in an interview. Fralin revealed what he could build under the current,single-family zoning for the land and what he says he will build if officials reject his proposed planned development: He would line Brandon Avenue with a dozen rental homes, each with its own driveway, with rents starting at$1,399 monthly.",bringing up visions of people backing out of their driveways into this already complicated intersection. If something has to be built in this area it can be homes with a new access road that could enter on Brambleton and exit further down on Brandon,but the current plan,which Fralin did not even attempt to improve, is ridiculous and I hope that City Council will again do the right thing and reject this project.

Anna Quindlen From: Grace Terry 4718 Wembley PI SW Roanoke, VA 24018 Re: Comments About "Zero Brandon" Development Proposal To: Mayor and City Council Members, I am writing these comments out of concern about the Zero Brandon Proposal. The current design is unsuitable at this location for several reasons: 1. Traffic Problems:The Zero Brandon Proposal would increase the volume of cars through a congested accident-prone area that appears to have been recently improved to promote bicycle travel. 2. Don't Repeat Past Mistakes of Over-Development in the Wrong Area:The Zero Brandon Proposal would be IN DIRECT OPPOSITION to the City's efforts (funded by taxpayers) to manage stormwater and preserve riparian areas for rain absorption and floodplain. 3. Murray Run Creek Would be Negatively Impacted:The Zero Brandon proposal would further imperil the water quality of an impaired stream that is a major tributary of the Roanoke River. 1. Traffic Problems The Grandin to Brandon Road corridor was my travel route to work for the last ten years, and it was very congested at certain times of the day. I frequently observed accidents and had multiple near-misses myself. I assumed the recent addition of a bicycle lane to a section of Brandon near the proposed development was done to provide bicycle travel connections from neighborhoods to Towers Shopping Center, downtown and the Roanoke River Greenway. That seemed like an improvement that was in keeping with the City's Livability goals to promote healthier options for commuter travel. So, it seems a contradiction to approve a high-density development with parking lots that would introduce an infusion of increased car trips to the traffic mix in that area. Unless the apartments were restricted to walkers and bicycle riders only, or the City allowed an exception so that the developer only had to provide very limited space for cars, it seems like Zero Brandon undermines what the City was trying to achieve with recent changes for the Brandon Road travel corridor. 2. Don't Repeat Development Mistakes of the Past that Contradict Modern Stormwater Management Goals I live in the Windsor Place townhouse/patio home community in Roanoke City where all of the homes have very small yards. There is minimal greenspace for absorbing rainwater relative to the amount of the impervious services (roofs, driveways and sidewalks). In addition, the postage stamp-sized yards can't support trees of the size with a leaf canopy that can effectively absorb a lot of rainwater and reduce runoff.The maples and pin oaks that were planted when the neighborhood was developed became so large that their roots threatened foundations. Therefore, in recent years those mature trees had to all be removed at great expense to the Homeowner's Association which now only allows replacement with small landscape trees.This has resulted in less absorption of rainwater and more unnatural runoff. I believe it has caused more moisture and water infiltration in my home's lower level and also for my neighbors. The neighborhood has a Stormwater Retention structure, and, to me,the fact that something like that was installed indicates that the developer overbuilt the area and didn't allow enough greenscape to do a proper job of naturally absorbing the rainwater. I think that squeezing so many units into the space was a mistake because the topography is like a half-bowl so it was probably historically a wet area. To me, the Zero Brandon Proposal would be making the same mistake made when my community was built in the 1980's. I presume the City was not being as proactive then as I would hope they are being now over 30 years later. I think it is very positive that there is now a Stormwater Department within the City. I am okay with paying a Stormwater fee on my property tax bill because I assume the money is dedicated to supporting efforts of sustainability and to avoid the mistakes of the past when unsuitable areas were allowed to be overdeveloped. However, if the City allows development such as Zero Brandon, then what is the point of that Stormwater fee? 3. Save Murray Run Creek It would be a shame for the City to not be protective of Murray Run Creek because this is an urban stream that actually has a chance to be restored to a healthier status. I have been involved in volunteer stream monitoring in the past and this creek actually achieves surprisingly good biological results as it travels through Fishburn Park. A couple of years ago, I used this creek as a setting for nature classes while working for the City's Parks and Recreation Department. My contact at the Western VA Water Authority recommended against allowing the students to wade in the creek since the VA Department of Environment Quality has designated all of the City's creeks to have "impaired" status. However, Murray Run is considered impaired due to sediment and not because of pollution. In my experience with the nature classes,the nets yielded an encouraging amount and variety of macroinvertebrates from the stream bed indicating that this Creek has the potential to become healthier. Without question,the Zero Brandon Proposal is not protective of Murray Run Creek and would increast the amount of sediment thus threatening its future chances of restored health.The City should be working toward improving its streams, not killing them. Alternative to Zero Brandon Proposal as Dedicated Greenspace I wish that the City would work with its Citizens and neighborhood associations to establish an alternative use of this property as a dedicated greenspace.There could be an extension of Lakewood Park and a connection to the Murray Run Greenway as future uses for this property. Both would be much more beneficial to the surrounding neighborhoods, and to the multitude of cars, cyclists, and walkers who travel the Brandon Road corridor. PLEASE VOTE "NO"to ZERO BRANDON PROPOSAL Please vote against the Zero Brandon Proposal in order to preserve the option of a more appropriate use for the area as permanent riparian buffer for Murray Run Creek to promote water quality.

Thank you, Barbara Duerk I would classify these under economic development Roundabouts: I am favor of reducing air quality and traffic congestion. Roundabouts is one of the methods in transportation planning for bettering traffic flow and improving air quality. I have been advocating for Roundabouts in South Roanoke to mitigate projected traffic increase caused by the expansion of VTC. South Roanoke has two intersections where persons turning left have the right of way. I was talking about this and the neighbor replied. The city is putting in a roundabout at Main at Brandon. My answer, "Oh, I think a Roundabout at McClanahan and Broadway and Avenham and Broadway(and Franklin Road and Broadway would be a better location. Big Box stores—outsourcing properties Background: The K-Mart location on Franklin Road is now a storage area. The 2"phase of a sidewalk is being constructed that will connect Franklin Road to Tanglewood Mall. Bike lanes are being marked on Franklin Road. Neighbors in South Roanoke asked the developers of K-Mart to outsource buildings. They were asked several times to attend a neighborhood meeting. Several neighbors gave suggestions on what businesses we preferred as outparcels on the K-Mart footprint. "Tanglewood" is building the storefronts. Could Roanoke City Economic Development help the owners of the K-Mart property with attracting outparcels for this city property? Greenways make Healthy Communities The network of Greenways in the City should be expanded to include: Greenways, Greenway Neighborhood Connectors, Sidewalk Grid system,bike lanes. Prioritizing these amenities would allow you to walk or ride a bicycle to the Municipal Building and make the Roanoke a HEALTHY community and a livable community. Thanks Barbara N.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders. Dear Mayor Lea, I am writing to ask that you please say no to the proposed apartment and town home development at the intersection of Brandon Road, Main Street, and Sherwood Avenue. Allowing the proposed development to proceed is irresponsible for a number of reasons. First, the Brandon-Main-Sherwood intersection is the main throughway,for both students who attend Wasena Elementary, Fishburn Park Elementary, James Madison Middle School, Patrick Henry High School, Roanoke Valley Governor's School, and Virginia Western Community College and citizens who work downtown and at Carilion Clinic facilities. With the proposed development, traffic at the intersection will only become more of a nightmare, especially in light of the recent lane-reduction on Brandon Road. Second, clear-cutting the parcel of land for the proposed development will almost definitely cause water drainage problems. During heavy rains, I have witnessed the portion of Brandon Road at the intersection accumulate water very quickly. I cannot fathom how flood-prone this area will become if the forest is replaced entirely by concrete and asphalt. Third, I am 23 years old, and, quite honestly, I am sick and tired of witnessing cities and companies destroy the environment in the name of increased tax revenue or profit. I find it incredibly disheartening to see older generations of people in positions of power choose short-term greed over long-term sustainability. Everyday, I think about what my future holds, and, everyday, I worry about the ways in which climate change will alter most of my life. I ask that each of you take a moment to pause and think about the time you were in your early twenties. Were you excited about your future? Can you imagine my hopelessness in seeing older, more powerful generations crush what feels like every last shred of the natural world that I will depend upon for(hopefully)over another half-century? Please show younger generations that Roanoke is a city we can trust to prioritize our future well-being over money. Please say no the proposed development at the Brandon-Main-Sherwood intersection. Not only is moving forward with the proposed development illogical in terms of traffic flow/pattems and water drainage, it erodes my generations'hopes for a healthy future. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Hannah Schlcupner i 0 BRANDON REZONING (06/08/21) Review by John A. Garland, PE Being a developer,I certainly am pro economic development and,I agree that there is a unique need for more residential accommodations,of all types. I have been involved with my share of multi-family development projects,as both a designer and as a developer. The need for more living units is certainly a good problem for Roanoke to have. Being a civil engineer gives me an understanding of the evaluation criteria associated with development and site planning,including traffic,grading, water quality and stormwater management. 1 have had the opportunity to review the development plans and evaluate the rezoning request,both the one currently presented and the one previously presented in 2017. The plan is 2017 was unanimously disapproved by City Council and the current plan includes the same number of apartments,but also 15 townhouses on the south side of Murry Run,which was originally pledged as a Conservation Easement,maintaining the existing large growth Oak trees. Additionally,I have walked the site from Brambleton to Brandon Lane and on both sides of Murry Run and discussed the project with other professionals in this field of practice.The following are my findings and thoughts. 1. In 2017,what 1 heard as a primary justification for this apartment project was its compatibility with the neighborhood plans. The city has identified Neighborhood Villages as compatible with multi-family housing. The intersections of Brambleton and Brandon and Main and Brandon are zoned Commercial Neighborhood,also known as a Neighborhood Village. Because that CN property is immediately adjacent to 0 Brandon and since multi-family is compatible with a neighborhood village,then this R-7 zoned property in Brandon Avenue)would technically be suitable for rezoning. Current Neighborhood Villages include Grandin Village and Crystal Spring. It is difficult to compare the intersection of Brandon and Brambleton to both of those. A neighborhood village involves much more than a collection of commercial establishments,otherwise at any corner in Roanoke,where commercial has sprouted up would be considered a neighborhood Village. To me,a neighborhood village for Roanoke is predominately an area that in its history was a thriving neighborhood village and we have many examples,some that thrive today and some that want and need to thrive.Those that were and can be again someday,include IIts NW corridor and Williamson Road and 10"Street. What these neighborhood villages have in common are businesses that serve the immediate community,walkable neighborhoods,a good mix of community businesses,businesses that are adjacent to broad pedestrian ways,sidewalks and parking to the side or rear of the businesses,are pedestrian friendly and active and punctuated by adequate landscaping.I see little resemblance of a community village at this location. 2. The second justification for the rezoning was comparing a 54-apartment development to a 33 single family residential development and concluding that a single-family development had the same net increase in traffic Bow and more adversely affected traffic patterns on Brandon Avenue. That could be true,if 33 single family homes could fit on this property,and it might be true if a developer was reckless in their design approach. Having walked the site,1 do not believe that this property can support 33 single family lots. Maximizing lots by using 7000 square foot lots is juxtaposed against a substantial waterway,flood zone,flood fringe,steep topography on each side of the creek, accessibility,riparian needs of the creek and unusually steep topography at the rear of the property. The current zoning of R-7 requires a frontage of 60 feet minimum and using the existing road frontage of around 750 feet would only allow 12 residential lots. These lots would be lots that went from Brandon to the rear yards of lots on Oakwood. In lieu of having 12 separate individual driveway entries there could be a single shared creek crossing and shared driveway regulated by a property owner's association and a single exit off Brandon Lane with improved intersection traffic controls. Houses could be on the south side of the creek and well buffered from Brandon Avenue and compatible with existing single-family homes there. 3. Regarding traffic,it is not disputed that this area is a difficult area at many times during the day and there is no formulated solution to alleviate an already congested traffic area. The intersection of Main and Brandon is arguably one of the worse intersections in the Roanoke Valley and was recently recognized as a very hazardous stretch of roadway,having experienced 182 crashes since 2013. This crash history and safety concern prompted the City to undertake a safety study of this corridor,which was implemented this summer by reducing the 4-lane roadway to 2 lanes,plus a center turn lane,plus a bike lane on each side of the roadway. A left turning lane on Brandon is proposed within the curved and downgrade awkward roadway from Main to west on Brandon. This new lane provides a cue for stacking vehicles entering the apartment project and is interjecting an additional lane in an already very awkward and high traffic volume location. The difficulties of the traffic patterns for this project have resulted in only being able to exit east on to Brandon Avenue from the project,with no good solution to accommodate west bound traffic. The traffic problems that already exist will only be compounded with this new proposed development and the rezoning request has not been adequately addressed the traffic issues. 4. About flooding and stormwaler management of both quantity of water and water quality. Disturbing of at least 10000 square feet of land requires both,but neither has been adequately discussed,other than saying that with the final design and review process,both would be addressed. Possibly? This property and proposed development maximize the area between Murry Run and Brandon Avenue,with parking lots jammed up against the apartments and parking lots taken very close to Murry Run. It is not known at this time what may be needed to make the grading work,but it is extremely tight and grades to Murry run are for the most part already very steep. When parking and building coverage is maximized,little land is left for rain gardens,detention areas,vegetative swales,etc.,for control of water quality and quantity,relegating options to such things as below ground tanks and pipes or permeable pavement for quantity or green roofs for quality. Although a solution may be possible,it will be forced at best and not as effective as the current natural setting. The downstream conditions of Murry Run cannot be allowed to deteriorate further, where known flooding problems have persisted and with Murry Run already deemed an impaired stream. 5. Murry Run is an impaired stream as defined by DEQ.This site disturbs more than 1 acre,therefore stream and wetland areas will need to be protected per State requirements. One such protection is a riparian buffer. Currently the site plan shows that riparian buffer as and average of 50 feet width,when in fact,most of the riparian buffer is much less than 50 feet,with the paved parking lot for the apartments intruding into this required buffer.An average of 50 feet,does not meet the intent of the City and State's requirements for a riparian buffer. This section of impaired Murry Run will deteriorate further with this project,both during and after construction, Options may exist that would allow the elimination of this natural riparian buffer,by improvements elsewhere,but at what cost to Murry Run? 6. In 2010 a Greenway study was conducted for the Murry Run Greenway and one of the best options shown in this report was connecting the existing portions of Greenways by following Murry Run within this property. No provisions have been made on the developer's plan to accommodate the Murry Run Greenway. 7. In reviewing the City of Roanoke's most recent comprehensive plan,I quote the following:"every neighborhood should be an active participant in determining it's future",and"involve neighborhood organizations,civic groups, and businesses in the development and implementation of neighborhood plans". One would then surmise that the neighborhoods opinion of this project would carry much weight,as it did in 2017. If there is not agreement with the design criteria discussed above,then we have the same reality that existing in 2017,which was a petition of 500 citizens asked that the rezoning not be allowed,along with the 4 surrounding Neighborhood Associations and the Neighborhood President's Council. In 2017,the neighborhoods were unanimously against this proposed development project. In 2021,we again have a petition of over 500 signatures,expressing their objection to this proposed development. 8. There is another solution,with precedent in many locations across the City.That is to maintain the site in its natural state for the most part,but add improvements for a better riparian butter,flood protection measures,greenway development,and stream protection.This has occurred on Garden City Blvd., loth Street NW and Lick Run, Washington Park,and all along the Roanoke River. There is a reason this site has remained undeveloped for decades. The difficulties of development are the same items that create a degradation of flooding and stream water quality and place pressure on current traffic flows and congestion. There are many acceptable sites for apartment development in the City,but this is not one of them. Single family is the correct zoning,but better to be developed for what it is,a setting for Murry Run. Moan Reynolds COMMENTS - 0 BRANDON AVENUE REZONING 1 MUST SAY, I HAVE GIVEN THIS PROJECT A LOT OF THOUGHT SINCE MR. FRALIN FILED THE AMENDED APPLICATION IN JUNE. 1 MET WITH MR. FRALIN AND HIS STAFF TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT; WITH SOMEOF THE PROPERTY OWNERS/INTERESTED PARTIES TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS, EVEN MET WITH CITY PLANNING STAFF TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THEIR CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION; AND WITH SEVERAL PLANNING CONSULTANTS WHO DID NOT BELIEVE THIS AN APPORPRIATE USE OF THIS PROPERTY. YESTERDAY EVENING AROUND 4:00 P.M., I PERSONALLY VISITED THE BRANDON AVENUE AREA. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME, 1 STILL WITNESSED SERIOUS TRAFFIC CONFLICTS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THEREFORE, 1 CANNOT SUPPORT THIS AMENDMENT TO REZONE PROPERTY TO DEVELOP 54 DWELLING UNITS AND 15 TOWNHOUSES IN THREE GROUPS BECAUSE 1 BELIEVE THERE IS TOO MUCH DENSITY FOR THIS AREA, AND THE PROPOSED DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO SEPARATE VEHICLUR TRAFFIC ACCESSING THE DEVELOPMENT FROM BRAMBLETON AVENUE FURTHER TO THE WEST TRAFFIC WILL ONLY EXCEREBATE THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM THAT CURRENT EXIST.
