RRHA
CITY of ROANOKE REDEVELOPMENT
and HOUSING AUTHORITY
PARTNERS IN PROGRESS
Report to City Council for the City Fiscal Year July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Highlights
New Activities.
Homeownership
RRHA was approved by HUD in 2015 for a Section 32 Homeownership program, which allows the
sale of five (5) scattered site public housing properties that currently are leased. This program
provides additional homeownership opportunities for HUD-assisted renters and other low to
moderate income families in the Roanoke community. Tenants were advised that they may
choose to purchase the homes if they can obtain financing. Tenants will be relocated in the event
that a property is sold to another buyer. To date, one (1) of the five (5) properties remain
available, as three (3) have been sold, and one is under renovation for a qualified buyer.
RRHA continues to operate a Lease-Purchase homeownership program and has three (3) eligible
applicants currently leasing units. There are only two (2) homes available in the program for new
applicants. RRHA works with residents in various ways to help them achieve homeownership.
Partner agencies such as Total Action for Progress and Southeast Rural Community Assistance
Project provide homeownership and financial counseling, and RRHA's FSS staff directs residents
there and elsewhere for the appropriate services. Homeownership is also a part of RRHA's
EnVision Center.
RRHA was awarded a grant by the Roanoke Valley Allegany Regional Commission for $113,000 to
help renovate an additional 2 homes for qualified buyers. Proceeds from the homeownership
fund will supplement the grant award.
New Public Housing via Disposition Proceeds
In April of 2024 RRHA completed the development of two (2) new public housing units on Bluestone
Avenue, NE, adjoining the Bluestone Park public housing development. RRHA acquired the
property in 2020 after HUD approved an acquisition proposal. RRHA has submitted a
development proposal for the units in 2021. The funding for these units will be from the Capital
Fund Program and proceeds from the sale of RRHA's former warehouse property on Whiteside
Ave, NE. That property was sold in 2017 after HUD approved disposition of it in 2016.
Page 1 of 7
Project-Based Vouchers
RRHA is currently using 79 of its HCVs for project-based vouchers (PBVs) in three developments
that RRHA partially owns (or has a controlling interest in); Hillcrest Heights, Park Street Square
and Stepping Stone. As RRHA is the owner (or has a controlling interest in) these developments
as the limited partner of the Indian Village, Park Street Housing and Stepping Stone Limited
Partnerships respectively, there were non-competitive assignments of the vouchers to RRHA.
This non-competitive exception is permitted by PIH Notice 2017-21 that provides further guidance
on the Housing Opportunities through Modernization Act (HOTMA) of 2016.
HOTMA allows PHAs to use up to 20% of their ACC amount rather than 20% of its voucher budget
authority as previously required. HOTMA also allows several exceptions for PHAs to exceed this
20% limit. RRHA intends to evaluate additional opportunities for PBV usage to ensure availability
of sufficient high quality housing to meet identified housing needs and will set aside or seek new
vouchers for this purpose if needed.
RRHA intends to use PBVs through the Hurt Park Limited Partnership for the Hurt Park Townhomes
in 2025. The development has 40 units. In addition, RRHA intends to procure property owners to
use PBVs in the City in Census Tracts that are low in poverty and minority concentration and/or
where affordable housing is lacking. A request for proposal will be advertised following RRHA's
public procurement regulations. Priority for allocation of PBVs will be considered for those that
provide housing for the elderly and disabled, but will not be the sole criteria. In 2022 RRHA
issued an RFP for PBVs in new construction developments in low poverty census tracts and
awarded such to two developers. However in both cases the PBVs were not allocated.
EnVision Center
RRHA has been approved by HUD as an EnVision Center Demonstration Site. RRHA's site at 2607
Salem Turnpike, NW was also approved by the HUD Richmond Field Office and acquired in
2020. Renovation of the property was completed in 2022 and the building now provides office
space for some RRHA staff, training facilities, space for community gathering and tenants such
as Virginia Western Community College and Humankind. . In addition, a community garden was
planted in front of the Center by LEAP and The Harvest Collective, partner agencies that are
devoted to local food and sustainable agriculture. The garden is used in classes with children
nearby who help maintain and harvest the produce from it. The garden benefitted in 2023 from a
$2,500 grant from the American Heart Association.
Acquisition of Properties for Future Development
RRHA hired the Dominion Due Diligence Group (D3G) to provide consultation on repositioning
possibilities; converting public housing to a Section 8 based public/private ownership. RRHA
received the final plan in 2022 and in 2024 contracted D3G to assist with potential repositioning
possibilities.
RRHA purchased an almost 13 acre property in the City from Virginia Housing in 2023. RRHA's
intent is to develop the property with affordable housing units financed with low income housing
tax credits. RRHA will also consider RAD and other potential conversion options for public
housing sites that are not operating as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Page 2 of 7
Redevelopment
At present RRHA is only involved in the design review and administrative process of one (1)
redevelopment project; the South Jefferson Redevelopment Area. The Virginia Tech Foundation
is under a current redevelopment agreement with RRHA after purchasing the former
Steagall/Quality Tire site on Williamson Road. The former Surfaces property on Reserve Avenue
owned by Carilion Clinic also remains under a redevelopment agreement with RRHA. It is
expected by the City of Roanoke that RRHA will not be asked to acquire another property in the
area.
The Gainsboro Redevelopment Plan remains active despite no funding or activity related to the
plan for decades. Recently RRHA has spoken with interested parties regarding development of
the 77 parcels RRHA owns along Orange and Cherry Avenues, an area referred to as Cherry
Hill. The Redevelopment Plan states that affordable housing is to be built on the property. RRHA
has informed the City that it is working on potential partnerships to develop the property and that
the future of the Orange Avenue parcels needs to be addressed, as they are currently zoned
Recreation Open Space, a zoning designation typically for public parks.
Since the Virginia Code was amended in 2010 to limit the previous redevelopment powers of
housing authorities and local governments, the City of Roanoke and RRHA have not engaged in
any new redevelopment plans. However, RRHA remains open to the prospect of working with the
City in any future redevelopment projects, particularly if affordable housing can be a feature of
such plans.

ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: July 15, 2024
Subject: Acceptance of Funding for a Drug Prosecutor.
Background:
Federal funding was made available to the Commonwealth of Virginia to be used for the
development of several Multi-Jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutors statewide. The positions
were developed to coordinate prosecutorial efforts among independent jurisdictions, reduce
fractional and duplicate prosecutions, enhance the recovery of criminal assets, and utilize
federal, state and local resources to assure maximum prosecutorial effectiveness and to
provide specialized prosecutorial resources to the regional drug enforcement effort. The
Commonwealth's Attorneys of Craig County, Franklin County, Roanoke County, and the Cities
of Roanoke and Salem applied on October 9, 1987, to the Commonwealth's Attorneys'
Services Council, the State agency responsible for the administration of the grant money, to
fund a Multi-Jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutor. City Council accepted the Multi-
Jurisdictional Special Drug Prosecutor Grant in April, 1988, and a full-time Special Drug
Prosecutor was hired in July, 1988. Annual re-application for this funding is required.
Considerations:
On April 15, 1994, funding for the Drug Prosecutor's Office was transferred from the
Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council to the Compensation Board. The
Compensation Board approved funding for the Drug Prosecutor in the amount of$152,349
effective July 1. 2024, and funding will continue through June 30, 2025. A local match is
required. The local match is $80,732 for a total funding of $233,081. Funding for the local
share is available in the General Fund — Transfer to Grant Fund (account number 01-250-
9310-9535) and City Manager Contingency (01-300-9410-2199).
Recommended Action:
Authorize the application for the Grant and accept funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia
Compensation Board in the amount of $152,349 with the City providing local match funding in
the amount of $80,732. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the requisite
documents to obtain the funding from the Compensation Board. All such documents shall be
reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Adopt the accompanying budget ordinance to establish revenue estimates for $152,349 in
state grant funds and $80,732 in local match, to transfer local match funding from the General
Fund Transfer to Grant Fund account, and to appropriate funding totaling $233,081 per
attachment 1 into accounts to be established by the Interim Director of Finance.

Background:
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services has awarded the City of Roanoke state

amount is $250,000. The project period is July 1, 2024, through June 30. 2025.

City of Roanoke and community partners to offer training and apprenticeship placement to the
youth involved in the program. The program also works closely with the RESET Team to
provide mentorships and recommendations for placement to create a successful program.
The Youth Apprenticeship Program will need city-matching funds to cover the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (FICA). The amount needed for the one-year grant period is
$10,171.44.
The Youth and Gang Violence Prevention Unit staff position, Outreach worker, will work
collaboratively with the Roanoke City Police Department, Roanoke City Public Schools, the
Office of the City Manager, and community partners and agencies to complement the efforts
currently underway to keep at-risk youth safe and decrease recidivism.
Recommended Action:
Adopt a resolution accepting the Firearm Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant from the
Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services Grant # 531777 to support the existing work
of the Gun Violence Interruption Framework.
Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute any forms required by the Virginia Department
of Criminal Justice Services in order to accept these funds: such documents to be approved

ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: July 15, 2024
Subject: Acquisition of Real Property Rights for Stormwater Drainage Improvement
Project - Glade Creek 2 (Kermit Avenue, Clyde Street and Dunkirk Avenue).
Background:
In 2019, the City applied for VDOT Local Revenue Sharing Funds for the Glade Creek 2
(Kermit, Clyde & Dunkirk) Drainage Improvements Project. In March of 2023, Council
authorized the appropriation of these funds.
The City owns two parcels on Clyde St NE near the intersection with Dunkirk Ave NE that are
located within the FEMA floodplain of Glade Creek and are situated adjacent to a sump in the
road. This stormwater improvement project will upsize the existing stormwater infrastructure in
this area and add pipes and inlets to mitigate residential flooding in the area and provide water
quality benefits on city-owned parcels.
In order to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed improvements, the City will need to
acquire real property rights from one or more property owners.
Considerations:
City Council action is necessary to authorize the acquisition of real property rights needed for
the Glade Creek 2 (Kermit, Clyde & Dunkirk) Drainage Improvements Project. The real
property rights needed are outlined below, but are subject to minor variation of location and
extent pending final engineering design details.
Funding for acquisition of the real property rights will be available in the Glade Creek 2
(Kermit, Clyde & Dunkirk) Drainage Improvements Project multi-year account (Acct 03-530-
3976).
Permanent drainage and temporary construction easements of variable length and width are
required to accommodate construction activities and will affect three (3) properties in the
general vicinity identified below. The City may also need to acquire various other property
rights involving the property listed below and other properties which have not yet been
identified for this project. The property that has been identified so far is as follows:
Tax Address Owner Required Property
Map Parcel Number Rights
Temporary
Construction
3320809 2241 King St NE Bryant, Darryl A. Easement and
Permanent Drainage

3320807 2257 King St NE McMahon, John & Temporary
Linda Construction
Easement
3321224 2349 Dunkirk Ave NE Ford, Ava K. Temporary

Recommended Action:
Authorize the acquisition of any real property rights needed to construct the proposed Glade
Creek 2 (Kermit, Clyde & Dunkirk) Drainage Improvements Project, including, but not limited to
the specific property rights identified in the City Council Agenda Report, by negotiation and
execution of the appropriate acquisition documents by the Interim City Manager, such
documents to be approved as to form by the City Attorney.

ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: July 15, 2024
Subject: Approval of an Agreement to Modify Deed to the Special Warranty Deed
conveying approximately 1.1 acres and improvements — former Fishburn
Park Caretaker's Cottage at 2424 Brambleton Avenue, S. W.
Background:
The City of Roanoke sold approximately 1.1 acres of land which included the former Fishburn
Park Caretaker's Cottage located at 2424 Brambleton Ave., S.W. ("Property"), the Property
being a portion of Tax Map Number 1470301, to Fishburn Perk, LLC ("Buyers"). Buyers paid
ten dollars and pledged to invest a minimum of $150,000.00 toward the renovation of the
Property in order to restore the building and use it as a Coffee House. City Council conducted
a public hearing on November 21, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. to consider the disposal of the Property.
Following the public hearing, Council voted to approve the sale of the Property.
Buyers closed on the purchase of the property on September 29, 2023 and satisfied their
obligation under Section 4(B)(2) of the Contract to commence construction within 90 days of
said closing. Buyers have requested an Agreement to Modify Deed in order to meet certain
obligations specified under Section 4(B)(3) of the contract, which states "All design,
engineering, demolition, and construction work necessary to complete the Project in
accordance with Buyers' Proposal in accordance with the Plans shall be Substantially
Completed, and a final certificate of occupancy has been issued to Buyer from the City of
Roanoke Department of Planning Building and Development for the Building by 12 months
after the Closing Date." Buyers have informed the City of the need for additional time to meet
this obligation. Because of concerns regarding pending litigation, the nature of construction
and the need to receive historic tax credits, Staff is recommending that an eighteen month
extension be granted.
Considerations:
The Buyers cite three principal factors in requesting the extension of the performance period:
1. Ongoing Litigation Against the Project — Almost immediately after City Council
approved the sale, a resident filed a lawsuit stating the sale was improper. The case
was initially dismissed, but is still pending appeal. Buyers informed the City the lawsuit
has impacted their ability to obtain financing for the project.
2. Historic Tax Credit Process — Section 3(A)(6) of the Contract required that Buyers apply
for and actively seek approval of historic tax credits for the Caretakers Cottage within
30 days of closing. While Buyers satisfied that provision, the qualification process is
both lengthy and time-consuming. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources
requires structures be designated as historic before being eligible for credits, a nine to
12-month process during which no significant construction work can take place. The
Cottage was recently nominated for this designation, which allows buyers to advance
through the process. Approval should both clear the way for syndication of credits and
for full scale work to begin pending a successful outcome of the lawsuit referenced
above.
3. Log Cabin Foundation Expert — Buyers are fully committed to the full restoration of the
Caretaker's Cottage and are working with several design and preservation experts from
the Roanoke and New River Valleys, as well as Floyd County. The building's foundation
is in need of major repairs and requires the expertise of a contractor specializing in log
cabin repair. Buyers have secured an expert whose services cost more than expected
and adjusted their budget accordingly.
As a result of these unforeseen circumstances, Buyers are requesting an 18-month extension
to the project completion date. If approved, Buyers would be required to substantially complete
the project by March 30, 2026.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the attached ordinance authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute an Agreement
to Modify Deed between the City of Roanoke and Fishburn Perk, LLC, substantially similar to
the Agreement to Modify Deed attached to this Report, with an extended project completion
date of March 30, 2026, and make such other amendments as may be needed to extend the
performance period to March 30, 2026. All documents are subject to approval as to form by
the City Attorney.

the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.

ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: July 15, 2024
Subject: Approval of the Proposed Settlement of the Opioid related Claims against
Kroger and its related Corporate Entities.
Background:
As you are aware, the City previously filed a lawsuit against Kroger, and their related
corporate entities (collectively, the "Defendants") for their roles in the distribution, manufacture,
and sale of opioid products that have fueled an epidemic. After years of litigation, these
Defendants have now agreed to terms of global settlements that combined provide over $18.7
billion to state and local governments nationwide for abatement of the harms caused by the
opioid epidemic. Additionally, the settlements will offer injunctive relief that will compel the
settling defendants to change their business practices in meaningful ways.
Once approved, these settlements will be allocated and administered pursuant to the terms of
the Virginia Opioid Abatement Fund and Settlement Allocation Memorandum of Understanding
entered into by the City and the Office of the Virginia Attorney General previously in 2021.
Thus, they will be treated in the same way as the earlier settlements with the Distributor
Defendants and Janssen Pharmaceutical, which began distributing settlement funds last
calendar year. Settlement funds will flow to the City, both directly and indirectly, via the
Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority, over a period of years.
This represents the third wave of settlements flowing from the litigation commenced by the
City against numerous opioid supply chain defendants several years ago. The legal work
connected with this litigation has been performed on a contingent fee basis and has involved
no out-of-pocket cost to the City. Litigation will continue against several currently non-settling
defendants.
The settlements with Kroger and its related corporate entities are the product of years of hard-
fought litigation and complicated negotiation by outside counsel. The settlements provide
significant sums to state and local governments to help recover from the past harm suffered
because of the opioid epidemic and to help fight the ongoing harms the epidemic continues to
inflict on public entities. The settlements also provide important injunctive relief that will force
the settling entities to change the way they do business.
Recommended Action:
Our office has carefully reviewed the available information about the proposed settlements
and concurs with the recommendation of outside counsel to join in the settlement with these
Defendants in the approximate amount of $200,000 to the City of Roanoke.

division school mental health providers (SMHPs) with stipends for professional development
and supervising internship and practicum students from partner institutions of higher

and school nurses. SMHPs that complete the training and supervision will be provided
stipends. The program will be fully reimbursed by federal funds and will end September 30,

ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Meeting: July 15, 2024
Subject: Roanoke Valley Juvenile Detention Center (RVDC) Capital Funding.
Background:
After operating a Detention Center for a number of years, the City joined together with the City
of Salem, Counties of Botetourt. Franklin, and Roanoke in October 1998 in a service
agreement to form the Roanoke Valley Detention Commission. The Commission was created
to renovate and construct an addition to the existing Detention Center and to increase the
rated capacity to an eighty-one (81) bed facility (the Center) and to equip, maintain and
operate the Center.
The City's annual operating expenses are based on a three-year rolling average utilization
rate. The City's utilization in FY2024 was 44.8% . The City's current utilization rate is
35.3%.
Considerations:
In December 2021, RVDC solicited, through Request for Proposal (RFP) an architecture and
engineering (A&E) firm to conduct a facility assessment of the Detention Center. In January
2022, the A&E firm returned and presented to RVDC the needs of the facility, which included
a new HVAC replacement and roof replacement.
The existing sitewide HVAC equipment was manufactured and installed in 1999 and has well
exceeded its 20-year life expectancy.
The Commission anticipates the issuance of debt in order to fund the replacements
needed. The Commission has selected Davenport. the same Financial Advisor used by the
City, to evaluate the potential issuance of debt for these projects.
Recommended Action:
Membership Jurisdictions are asked to recognize and acknowledge the upcoming
upgrades/replacements and affirm their approval, thus acknowledging the increased cost to
each respective jurisdiction. The cost will be determined once the funding approach is
finalized and based on the respective jurisdictions' annual utilization rate.

authorized to contract a debt and to issue in one or more series from time to time not to exceed
Ninety-Four Million Twenty-Two Thousand Four Hundred Five Dollars ($94,022,405) aggregate
principal amount of general obligation bonds of the City to be designated and known as the"City
of Roanoke, Virginia, General Obligation Public Improvement Bonds", or, as applicable, as the
"City of Roanoke, Virginia General Obligation Public Improvement Refunding Bonds."
(b) The Bonds shall be issued and sold in their entirety at one time, or from
time to time, in one or more series as shall be determined by the Director of Finance or the City
Manager. There shall be added to the designation of the Bonds a series designation determined by
the Director of Finance or the City Manager. The Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form
in the denomination of$5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds of a given series
shall be numbered from No. R-1 upwards in order of issuance. The Bonds shall bear interest from
their date payable on such date and semiannually thereafter as shall be determined by the City
Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. The
Bonds of each series shall be issued in such aggregate principal amounts (not exceeding the
aggregate principal amount specified in Section 1(a) hereof); and shall mature on such dates and
in such years (but in no event exceeding forty (40) years from their date or dates), and in the
principal amount in each such year, as shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of
Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. Interest on the Bonds shall be
calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty(360) day year comprised of twelve(12)thirty(30)
day months.
(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of$5,000)may be subject to
redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part from time
to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City(except that if at any time less
than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for redemption,the particular Bonds or portions
thereof in installments of$5,000 of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon
payment of such redemption prices(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds
to be redeemed), together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption
thereof, as shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8 hereof
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in
installments of$5,000)shall be called for redemption,notice of the redemption thereof, specifying
the date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places fixed for its redemption,
and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to be redeemed, that such Bond must
be surrendered in exchange for the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and a new Bond or
Bonds issued equaling in principal amount that portion of the principal amount thereof not to be
redeemed, shall be mailed not less than thirty(30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered owner thereof at the address of such registered
owner as it appears on the books of registry kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the close
of business on the forty-fifth(45th) day next preceding the date fixed for redemption. If notice of
the redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid, and payment of the principal
amount of such Bond (or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) and of the
accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall have been duly made or provided for,interest
thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the date so specified for the redemption thereof
2
3904484.1 047261 RSIND
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the redemption thereof
an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Bonds,together with the interest
accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and any conditional notice so given
may be rescinded at any time before the payment of the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon, is due and payable if any such condition so specified is not
satisfied. If a redemption of any Bonds does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to
there not being on deposit with the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption price
of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption
thereof, the corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, any notice of redemption
shall be given only to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), or to its
nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial owner of the Bonds any
notice of redemption.
SECTION 2. The full faith and credit of the City shall be and is irrevocably
pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become
due. In each year while the Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, this Council is
authorized and required to levy and collect annually, at the same time and in the same manner as
other taxes of the City are assessed,levied and collected, a tax upon all taxable property within the
City, over and above all other taxes, authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate
or amount, sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other
funds of the City are not lawfully available and appropriated for such purpose.
SECTION 3. (a) The Bonds shall be executed, for and on behalf of the City, by
the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and shall have a facsimile of the
corporate seal of the City imprinted thereon, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
City Clerk of the City.
(b) The Director of Finance or the City Manager are each hereby authorized to
appoint a Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar and Paying Agent").
(c) The Director of Finance or the City Manager shall direct the Registrar and
Paying Agent to authenticate the Bonds and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
unless and until the certificate of authentication endorsed on each Bond shall have been manually
executed by an authorized signatory of the Registrar and Paying Agent. Upon the authentication
of any Bonds the Registrar and Paying Agent shall insert in the certificate of authentication the
date as of which such Bonds are authenticated as follows: (i) if a Bond is authenticated prior to
the first interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance
and delivery of the Bonds of the series of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is
authenticated upon an interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest
payment date, (iii) if a Bond is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month
next preceding an interest payment date and prior to such interest payment date, the certificate
shall be dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in all other instances the certificate shall
be dated as of the interest payment date next preceding the date upon which the Bond is
authenticated. In the event the Bonds of any series shall be dated as of a date other than the first
3
3904484.1 047261 RSIND
day of a calendar month or the dates on which interest is payable on such series are other than the
first days of calendar months, the provisions of this Section 3(c) with regard to the authentication
of such Bonds and of Section 10 hereof with regard to the form of such Bonds shall be modified
as the Director of Finance or the City Manager shall determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(d) The execution and authentication of the Bonds in the manner set forth above
is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.
SECTION 4. (a) The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the respective dates of payment thereof
is legal tender for public and private debts. The principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon
presentation and surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent. Interest on the
Bonds shall be payable by check mailed by the Registrar and Paying Agent to the registered owners
of such Bonds at their respective addresses as such addresses appear on the books of registry kept
pursuant to this Section 4;provided, however, that so long as the Bonds are in book-entry form
and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or in the name of such other
nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, interest on the
Bonds shall be paid directly to Cede & Co. or such other nominee of DTC by wire transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at its office
books of registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such series. Upon
presentation at its office for such purpose the Registrar and Paying Agent, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or transfer, or cause to be registered,
exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the Bonds as hereinbefore set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City or
any duly authorized officer thereof.
(d) Any Bond may be exchanged at the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent
for such series of Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds in other authorized
principal sums of the same series, interest rate and maturity.
(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred
upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the duly authorized
attorney for such registered owner,upon surrender of such Bond to the Registrar and Paying Agent
for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered
owner in person or by the duly authorized attorney for such registered owner, in form satisfactory
to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made without
expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein provided, and except
that the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series of Bonds shall require the payment by the
registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of any tax or other
governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. All Bonds
surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cancelled.
4
3904484.1 047261 RSIND
(g) (i) The Bonds shall be issued in full book-entry form. One Bond
representing each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond will be
immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds.
Individual purchases will be made in book-entry form only, in the principal amount of$5,000 or
any integral multiple thereof Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of certificates
representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the Registrar
and Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Bonds, which
will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for subsequent disbursal to the beneficial
owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and interest payments to DTC participants will be the
responsibility of DTC. Transfers of such payments to beneficial owners of the Bonds by DTC
participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of such beneficial
owners. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made
by DTC and, in turn,by the DTC participants who act on behalf of the indirect participants of DTC
and the beneficial owners of the Bonds.
(iii) The City will not be responsible or liable for sending transaction statements
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC, its participants or

tax-supported debt restructured to $3.6 million. This includes a refund of $200,000 of the 2016
Bonds maturing on 4/1/2025, along with the tax-supported portion of the 2015 Bonds to reach
$3.6 million (excluding the interest portion). For the suggested authorization amount shown,
the full $1,020,000 (excluding the interest portion) 4/1/2025 maturity of the 2016 Bonds is
included to ensure sufficiency of funding and authorization.
The upcoming issuance includes $3 million for stormwater, $12.8 million for School Projects,
and $2 million for Fleet projects in permanent bond financing scheduled for Fall, 2024.
Considerations:
City Council authorization is required for the issuance of bonds (or other debt types) to provide
funding for the projects listed below:

for FY 2024-2028, which originally included a planned bond issuance of$35,805,000 for FY
2024. Subsequently, following the recommendation of the City's Financial Advisor, Davenport
& Company LLC, the City of Roanoke is opting to repeal the authorization of the planned bond
issuance for FY 2024, initially set at up to $37.255,000 which included contingency and cost of

Due to the repeal of FY 2024 authorization for bonds not issued, Davenport & Company LLC,
the City's financial advisor, recommends authorizing the issuance for fiscal years 2024 and
2025 concurrently in FY 2025. This issuance includes the following:
1. Issuance of bonds for FY 2024 projects for $35,805,000 and Issuance of bonds for FY
2025 projects for $49,813,200 previously referenced;
2. The restructuring of 2015 Bonds maturing on April 1, 2025 (including interest portion)
for $3,707,700; and
3. The restructuring of 2016 Bonds maturing April 1, 2025(estimating high for principal and
including interest) for $1,045,500.
To provide sufficient flexibility to support bond issuance for FY 2024 and FY 2025 in the event
of a premium on the sale of bonds, the Financial Advisor for the City recommends adding the
following:
1. a 2% contingency for $1,807,428 and
2. a 2% cost of inflation (COI) for $1,843,577.
Davenport & Company LLC recommends using a Bond Anticipation Note (BAN), permanent
bond financing, and restructuring the 2015 and 2016 Bonds to fund the FY 2024 and FY 2025
capital needs as described herein, totaling up to $94,022,405.
Recommended Action:
Hold a public hearing on the issuance of general obligation public improvement bonds and
authorizing and providing for the issuance and sale of a like principal amount of general
obligation public improvement bond anticipation notes in anticipation of the issuance and sale
of such bonds. Following the public hearing, and after consideration of comments received at
the public hearing, adopt the accompanying resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds up to
$94,022,405 million for the projects previously referenced.

Background:
The approximately 57-acre property is made up of 13 parcels and right-of-way to
be vacated located at the intersection of Orange Avenue and Mecca Street NE.
The property on the southwest corner of Orange Avenue and Mecca Street
previously had a restaurant use. The properties just to the north of Orange
Avenue had car dealerships and detached single-unit residential dwellings. All
structures on those properties have been demolished. The properties to the
north of those parcels are vacant parcels surrounding a City of Roanoke regional
stormwater facility.
The property was rezoned to MXPUD in 2022 under Ordinance 42548-01 1 723 to
allow for a mixed-use development including new neighborhood-focused
commercial development and 768 new dwelling units on mostly undeveloped
land that is located adjacent to the existing major commercial corridor of Orange
Avenue.
Proposed Use/Development:
The applicant proposes to amend the PUD plan to include gasoline station as a
use within the commercial area of the development. The remainder of the PUD
plan remains substantially the same as approved in 2022 and described below.
As part of the development. the intersection at Orange Avenue and Mecca
Street would be rebuilt by the developer. realigning Mecca Street to be
perpendicular to Orange Avenue, adding an entrance/exit to a new mixed use
community on the northern side of Orange Avenue, installing turn lanes on
Orange Avenue, and installing a new light to manage the new four-way
intersection. A sidewalk would be constructed along the length of the Orange
Avenue frontage.
On the southern side of Orange Avenue, a small portion of the existing right-of-
way for Mecca Street was granted to be vacated as part of the realignment to
the west under Ordinance 42548-01 1 723. That vacated portion of property
would be incorporated into the adjacent commercial parcel to the east of the
intersection.
The property on the southwestern corner of the intersection with Mecca Street
3
would be redeveloped with right of way dedicated for the street realignment.
Two entrance/exits would be created in place of the three existing
entrance/exits. Uses and development standards on the PUD plan would
regulate any new building.
On the northern side of Orange Avenue, a 54.64-acre property made of multiple
parcels would be combined into four parcels. The three new parcels along
Orange Avenue are proposed for commercial development, subject to the uses
and development standards on the PUD plan. The new entrance into the
development extends from the realigned intersection at Orange Avenue and
wraps around the back of the commercial properties to the ridge where the
forth and largest parcel is located. Each parcel is entered from the private
street. The forth parcel contains the residential development with 768 dwelling
units in 16 midrise buildings in two areas separated by an existing stormwater
pond that is proposed to be repaired and enlarged. The first residential phase
sits between the commercial properties along Orange Avenue and the
stormwater pond. The private street bisects the area with four midrise
multifamily dwellings set close to the street with parking to the side and rear of
the buildings. Two additional buildings are set towards the edges of this area.
The second residential phase sits between the stormwater pond and Manning
Road to the northwest. The ten midrise multifamily dwellings are set in three
groups along a circular road. Community facilities such as a clubhouse and
pool are located at the entrance to the second phase on the eastern portion of
the site. A second entrance/exit is located at the northwestern corner of the
site at Manning Road. A sidewalk would be constructed along the length of the
Manning Road frontage.
The development plan limits the building placement and form, site
development, and use of the property to particular residential and
neighborhood commercial uses. The development would also be subject to the
supplemental regulations and development standards of the zoning ordinance,
some of which are reflected in the PUD plan.
Considerations:
Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses:
This property is located along a major commercial corridor, with industrial zoning
districts to the north and east. Commercial and residential zoning districts are to
the south and west. Existing land uses reflect those zoning designations:
Zoning District 1 Land Use
North I I-1 , Light Industrial District Distribution centers: Utility

West MXPUD, Mixed Use Planned Unit Multifamily dwellings, Single-unit
Development: and R-5, Residential detached dwellings. and Vacant
Mixed Density District _.
Staff finds the additional use within the commercial area of the proposed
development maintains an appropriate neighborhood type use between the
disparate land uses that exist today.
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.
Availability of Other Property:
The proposed change is to allow a gasoline station within the commercial
portion of the mixed use development. As such, there are no other properties,
other than those in the zoning amendment request, which are available.
similarly situated, and zoned to allow this type of overall mixed use
development.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal to add a gasoline station use to the commercial area of the MXPUD
development is a minor change to the overall scope of the 57-acre property and
the previously noted sections of City Plan 2040 advocating development of higher
density residential uses along commercial corridors still apply.
The site is situated on a topographically challenging property along a major
commercial corridor adjacent to multiple neighborhoods to the south and west of
the site with industrial uses to the north and east. The residential areas
surrounding the property are of approximately similar or slightly less permitted
5
densities than the property under consideration for rezoning. The industrial area
is intensively developed. Relevant policies and action items in the comprehensive
and neighborhood plan include:

Comments on Application:
Planning Commission Work Session:
Discussion by the Planning Commission in its work session considered technical
corrections to the application, uses permitted, and the 2022 traffic study.
The applicant submitted Amended Application No.1 to address concerns noted
above.
Interdepartmental Comments:
General comments were provided from the Planning Building and Development
department related to: stormwater design requirements, building and zoning
subdivision requirements, and the permitting process.
Public Comments:
No comments received.
Public Hearing:
One person spoke in favor of the proposed amendment request, citing the benefit
of increased people within the community and responsiveness of the developer
to the community.
Conclusions:
The proposal to add a gasoline station use to the commercial area of the MXPUD
development is a minor change to the overall scope of the 57-acre property and
the previously noted conclusions remain applicable.
Density:
The proposed density is appropriate for a location along a major commercial
corridor to the south and between single-family detached dwellings to the west
and an intensively developed industrial area to the north and east.
10
Building Form:
Sixteen 4-story buildings with approximately 48 dwelling units each form the
residential phases of the development. The maximum building height at 60ft in
height is an appropriate transition from the 35ft maximum height allowed in the
residential area to the west and the unlimited height governed only by distance
from adjoining residential properties of the industrial area to the north and east.
The form is broken down through varying roof heights and projecting and
recessing building planes. There is an easily recognizable and accessible
primary entrance to each unit that faces the private street within the
development. There are ample window openings that are vertically and
horizontally aligned as depicted on the front building elevations. The materials
proposed are structurally durable.
Storm water:
An existing stormwater facility exists in the center of the property. Planned
maintenance on the facility and improvement of facility will be performed as part
of the proposed development.
The City administers a Stormwater Management Program for all new
development. This program enforces performance standards for the volume and
quality of post-construction runoff. Compliance of the stormwater management
plan with these standards is assessed during Comprehensive Site Plan review
process. Staff recommends 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 has reviewed the zoning amendment proposal.
concept plans. and Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) provided during the 2022
rezoning. The Transportation Division concurs with the TIA findings and
supports the public infrastructure improvements shown in the concept plans.
The improvements, such as the sidewalks and crosswalks. turn lanes, and the
traffic signal proposed by the developer will provide safer and more efficient
passage for pedestrians and motorists alike. In particular, the traffic signal and
re-alignment of Mecca Street will provide greater mobility for pedestrians and
residents in the surrounding community proximal to the proposed traffic signal.
In addition, including a Thru-Cut intersection provides the necessary geometry
and signalization to effectively manage the additional traffic without creating an
undue burden on the existing traffic patterns along Orange Avenue. This and
other innovative intersection designs are favorable nationwide to preserve or
improve capacity on high-volume roads where much more expensive options are
no longer viable.
11
The additional traffic generated by the development utilizing Mason Mill Road
and Manning Road is not anticipated to impact travel or oversaturate the existing
street network. Therefore. per the TIA. no additional stop signs or traffic signals
are warranted based on the additional anticipated traffic volumes.
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 proposed infrastructure
improvements may change based on future project reviews during the
comprehensive development review process.
Tree Canopy:
The proposed tree canopy coverage of 1 5% in the residential portion of
development and 10% in the commercial portion of the development would meet
or exceed the minimum coverage that would be required under the proposed
zoning district.
Conclusions and Recommendations:
The principal consideration is whether the proposal is consistent with the general
principles within the City's comprehensive plan with respect to the proposed
land use. The proposed addition of gasoline station as a use within the
commercial areas MXPUD development plan is generally consistent with the
City's planning and urban design principles.
The development proposal will provide new neighborhood-focused commercial
development and 768 new dwelling units on mostly undeveloped land that is
located adjacent to an existing major commercial corridor. The comprehensive
plan supports the idea of increased residential density around such corridors.
The MXPUD development plan provides for an arrangement of buildings.
parking, and access that is responsive to the many challenges of the site.
The Planning Commission supports the proposed zoning amendment request
and recommends approval.

Background:
As noted in the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan, this area of the City has
gradually transitioned from a sparsely populated rural area in the 1950's to a
low-density suburban community surrounded by commercial development on its
edges. The approximately 3.5-acre property proposed for development is made
up of nine parcels and right-of-way to be vacated located just south of a large
regional medical center at and to the south of the intersection of Keagy Road SW
and Medmont Circle SW. The property is vacant.
Proposed Use/Development:
The applicant proposes to develop townhouses on the approximately 3.5-acre
property. At the curve in the street adjoining Official Tax Map Nos. 5140123,
5140124. 51401 25, and 5140126, a small portion of the existing right-of-way
for Medmont Circle is requested to be vacated for incorporation into the larger
master plan.
The plan proposes 24 townhouse units with 4 units facing Keagy Road and 20
units facing Medmont Circle. The units range in size, with footprints from
3
approximately 20 by 46 feet to 25 by 60 feet. The plan requires substantial
conformity to design standards regulating size by height, width, length: roof
pitch. style, and material: front porches: percentage of window and door
openings on street facing facades: and siding material.
As part of the development, Medmont Circle SW would be widened by the
developer to a width recommended by the City.s Street Design Guidelines with
planting strips with trees and sidewalk constructed on both sides along the
length of the Medmont Circle and Keagy Road frontage. The level of
improvements more than offsets any costs of the property to be vacated.
The development plan limits the building placement and form, site
development, and use of the property to particular residential uses. The
development would also be subject to the supplemental regulations and
development standards of the zoning ordinance, some of which are reflected in
the development plan.
Considerations:
Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses:
This property is located along a collector street just south of a large regional
hospital surrounded by medical clinics with less intensive residential uses to the
east, south, and west. Existing land uses reflect those zoning designations:
Zoning District Land Use
North I HBD, Highway Business District Hospital:: medical clinics
South R-1 2, Residential District Vacant, and Single-unit detached
dwellings
East R-1 2; Residential District ' Single-unit detached dwellings
West R-12, Residential District 1 Single-unit detached dwellings
Staff finds the proposed development an appropriate transition between the
large regional center to the north and the less intensive land uses to the south
that exist today.
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 and on exhibit b, including design
standards and building elevations.
4
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 advocates development of higher density residential uses along
commercial corridors. The site is situated along a collector street with a mixture of
commercial and residential uses just south of a large regional hospital system.
The hospital area to the north is intensively developed. The residential areas
surrounding the property to the east, south. and west permit dwelling unit density
at 1 -3 dwelling units per lot with a minimum lot size of 8,000sf. The proposed
townhouses would have a dwelling unit density of 1 unit per 6,370sf. Relevant
policies and action items in the comprehensive and neighborhood plan include:

Comments on Application:
Planning Commission Work Session:
Discussion by the Planning Commission in its work session considered outreach
to the community. technical corrections to the application. uses permitted.
development standards for buildings. streetscape improvements, and corrections
needed within the application to reflect zoning requirements.
The applicant submitted Amended Application No.1 , 2. and 3 to address most
concerns noted above.
7
Interdepartmental Comments:
General comments were provided from the Western Virginia Water Authority.
Fire department, and the Planning Building and Development department
related to: water and sewer availability, fire code standards. building and
zoning subdivision requirements. and the permitting process.
Public Comments:
Public comment has focused on lack of public notice, lack of property being
offered for sale publicly, disruption to the tight-knit community. proposed
dwellings not matching the existing single-unit detached dwelling on large lot
character of the existing neighborhood, lower property values. added traffic on
Medmont Circle, increased stormwater, reduction in green space. and increase
in dwellings increasing liability for the private lake in the neighborhood.
Public Hearing:
Public comment was primarily opposed and focused on protecting single-unit
detached homeownership neighborhoods, the need for a wider street, added
traffic and parking on Medmont Circle, negative impacts on the community
during construction, existing stormwater issues within the neighborhood,
increased stormwater, reduction in green space. potential wetlands at the edge
of the development, and the increase in dwellings increasing liability for the
owners of the private lake in the neighborhood.
Public comment in favor of the proposal focused on the dire need for housing
within the City of Roanoke, particularly missing middle housing.
Commissioners discussed: the review process regarding appropriate street
width for the proposed development. whether liability for the lake is part of
zoning consideration, the permitting process for wetlands, and whether brick
facades are required.
Conclusions:
Density:
The proposed density of dwelling units is appropriate for a location at the
northmost portion of the neighborhood along a collector street and across from
a large regional medical center to the north.
Building Form:
Six townhouse groupings with a total of 24 dwelling units are located at Keagy
Road and on Medmont Circle. The maximum building height at 35ft matches the
35ft maximum height allowed in the neighborhood.
8
The townhouse unit groupings range in width from 75ft to 125ft wide with most
groups 100ft wide. The individual footprints within each grouping range from
approximately 20 by 46 feet to 25 by 60 feet. There is an easily recognizable
and accessible primary entrance to each unit that faces the private street within
the development. There are ample window openings that are vertically and
horizontally aligned as depicted on the front building elevations. The forms and
materials proposed are residential in nature.
Stormwater:
The plan proposes a stormwater facility at the southernmost end of the property.
The City administers a Stormwater Management Program for all new
development. This program enforces performance standards for the volume and
quality of post-construction runoff. Compliance of the stormwater management
plan with these standards is assessed during Comprehensive Site Plan review
process. Staff recommends 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 has reviewed the zoning amendment proposal and
supports the public infrastructure improvements shown in the development plan.
The improvements, such as the 26-feet wide street section with curb, gutter, and
sidewalk, will provide safer and more efficient passage for pedestrians and
motorists alike. The additional traffic generated by the development utilizing
Medmont Circle SW is not anticipated to oversaturate the existing street network.
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 proposed infrastructure
improvements may change based on future project reviews during the
comprehensive development review process.
Tree Canopy:
The proposed tree canopy coverage of 20% in the development would exceed the
minimum coverage that would be required under the proposed zoning district
and match the minimum coverage required in the current R-12. Residential
District.
Conclusions and Recommendations:
The principal consideration is whether the proposal is consistent with the general
principles within the City's comprehensive plan with respect to the proposed
land use. The proposed MXPUD development plan is generally consistent with the
City's planning and urban design principles.
9
The development proposal will provide 24 new dwelling units on undeveloped
land at the northernmost edge of a neighborhood adjacent to a collector street
across from a large regional healthcare center and nearby commercial center.
The comprehensive plan supports the idea of increased residential density and
housing types in all neighborhoods and especially in this type of area. The
MXPUD development plan provides for an arrangement of buildings, parking,
and access that is responsive to the many challenges of the site.
The Planning Commission supports the proposed rezoning and recommends
approval.

Dear Planning Commission and Roanoke City Council:
Once again I write to oppose the Boone Rezoning Application that comes before the Planning Commission and
possibly the Roanoke City Council, this month.
I ask that you vote no on this issue because of the negative impact it will have on one of Roanoke's fine
neighborhoods. Please take time to visit our neighborhood and make your own informed decision!
Thank you.

You don't often get email from dixcasa@cox.net. Learn why this is important
CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening
attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders.
We are writing as home owners residing on Medmont Cir SW to express strong opposition to this rezoning filed
by John A Carter Rental Properties and ABoone Real Estate Inc.
1- The Medmont Neighborhood is and has been zoned single family since the 1960's. There are 48 homes
on large lots, isolated in a small valley, in the middle of the city and it feels more rural than urban. There
is
a 5 acre lake fed by Barnhart Creek and the adjoining lot is owned by each of Medmont Resident's, all
private property. We enjoy walks around the neighborhood circle with family members and our dogs. We
22 years ago purchased our home because of the community , the large wooded lot and the surprising
privacy and convenience of the neighborhood.
2- The original parcel bought by Carter was planned for 8 single family patio homes, this in our opinion was
obviously a better choice for Medmont, it would have blended into the character of the neighborhood
better. " Due Diligence" was apparently applied to sell the lots as in previous descriptions. We are not sure
exactly that definition, obviously no one was interested in buying the lots. Now another piece of property
was purchased, so the original plan by ABoone has gone from building 17 townhomes to 24 townhomes.
3- This proposal will be adding 48 % more homes to our neighborhood. I count 16 new driveways, several
are shared . I averaged by the plat submitted, the length of the road to be developed is less than 0.1 mile.
The proposed widening of Medmont for Keagy Way is only 26 feet wide. Since Roanoke City seems to
no longer have minimum parking, it is likely 24 homes will possibly have 50 extra cars and there will be on
street parking. This will not allow for emergency vehicles to get through from Keagy Road. Where will the
2 trash receptacles for each home be placed on pick up day? Where will the school bus stops be?
I would hope a traffic study would be done to decide if as planned, pedestrian and vehicular safety would
be maintained.
4- Their are 2 entrances/exits into Medmont, Rt 419 and Keagy Rd. Both of these are already used as short
cuts to Apperson Drive, also the speed limits are exceeded by most vehicles. Across the street from
proposed Keagy Way is the large Lewis Gale Medical Center. Keagy Rd is highly trafficked and it is
currently difficult to enter onto Keagy with speeding traffic and visibility is not good. Mr Boone has said
1
most new residents will only use Keagy Rd, how can anyone say that? We will have more traffic in front
of our home, it's already a shortcut off of Rt 419.
5- Besides the traffic and possible safety issues of traffic and parking on the road, another concern is the
increased storm water run off Currently there is a large run off from Keagy Rd though the empty field and
the incline going down Medmont Cir. An article from the EPA stated pavement and rooftops in a city block
generates 5 times more runoff than a woodland area of the same size. Currently the property has mature
trees on one side and a grassy field on the other side. Behind our house we are having issues already
with storm water runoff It is coming from a culvert built beneath Rt 419, it generates a very large amount
of run off water that comes from Roanoke County. We have been in contact for years with Roanoke City
Storm Water Management and not much has been done to rectify the problem. We aren't looking forward
to more water run off since Roanoke City can't seem to get the run off behind our house contained. Also
there has been a question of a wetland area in Medmont and how this project will have an environmental
impact.
6- We have been told Keagy Way will have a Home Owners Association- HOA. How will Roanoke City and
Residents of proposed Keagy Way protect current Medmont home owners of the very real liability of
their residents trespassing onto Medmont Lake and its private surrounding property. Will the HOA have
bylaws that address this issue? Will the HOA be funding the upkeep of the SWM proposed on the plat
drawings ? Our research shows a SWM requires from an HOA a yearly budget of 12-35% depending on
the size of the SWM.
7- From the Keagy Way plans there is no clubhouse or pool or walking trails or bike paths. This will
have their residents looking to our current neighborhood to accomplish these things,possibly. Again
real concerns for children moving there with bicycles and looking to explore Medmont Lake.
8- How will this proposed high density project affect our homes resale value? Mr Boone has stated his
townhomes will sell for over$400,000 , how does this Zoning Reform/Exclusionary zoning removal by
Roanoke City, work for people when they cannot afford these townhomes. Just because Roanoke City
wants to open up acres of land for denser housing doesn't equal citizens being able to afford it .
9- We ask that City Planning members and Roanoke City Council members to come in person and
get a look at how narrow , steep and curved this area of road is, the plans cannot show this accurately.
We urge the Planning Commission and City Council to not change the zoning from R12 single family to
MXPUD for all the reasons stated above. Thank you for your continued service and support for Roanoke
City communities.
Sincerely,
Dixie and Jim Huff
Medmont Cir SW, Roanoke, Va

To the Roanoke City Council:
I am opposed to the rezoning of property on Keagy Road, Medmont Circle, & Barnhart Drive. I am very
concerned about the various problems that can be caused by building 24 townhomes in such a small area. Seven
of these will be adjacent to my home &behind one of my neighbors.
Some of my concerns include:
1. The lack of privacy for myself&my neighbors - Even if a six foot privacy fence is installed or trees planted
which will take years to grow, these will not solve the problem because of the number of townhomes &their
height.
2. The increase of water coming onto my property- There are already existing issues with rainwater&
snowmelt currently, adding this many homes with more pavement & asphalt for water to runoff will only
increase these flooding issues. See attached photos. Also, during construction there will most likely be an
increase in water & soil runoff on the street.
3. Parking issues - New residents & their visitors will likely need to park in front of my yard & my neighbor's
yard across the street due to limited parking for the townhomes.
4. Traffic concerns - Increased traffic & noise due to all the extra people living in & visiting the neighborhood.
Emergency vehicles, sanitation trucks, & school buses having difficulty coming down the narrow street with
townhome/visitors possibly needing to park on the street.
5. Medmont Lake Issues - As a homeowner & 1/51 part owner of the lake property, I am legally responsible for
law suits involving any destruction or bodily harm if someone uses this private property illegally.
My neighbors & I have many other concerns which will also be addressed to you through their emails & in
person when we speak at the meeting.
i
Our neighborhood has always been diverse, inclusive, & welcoming. We care about & for each other, especially
whenever needs arise. We're not trying to prevent new homes from being built, rather we are asking to keep the
zoning as it stands in order to allow individual patio style homes to built & not 24 townhomes in that small area.
These 24 townhomes in that small area equals almost half of the total 51 homes in our entire neighborhood.
Fewer homes built in the proposed area will help prevent or lesson some of our concerns.
The map you received showing where the 24 townhomes are proposed to be built does not show the incline of
the steep hill entering Medmont, nor does it show other details that can only be understood if one views the
property in person. I invite you to visit the property to better understand our neighborhood's concerns.
Thank you for your time & consideration of our requests. Please vote against the rezoning proposal.
Sincerely,
Charlotte McCauley
5105 Medmont Circle

FROM: Sandra P. Hamilton
1506 Eton Road, SW
Roanoke, VA 24018
540-580-6879
SUBJECT: Mass Re-Zoning Ordinance & Medmont Rezoning
As a long-time resident and concerned citizen of Roanoke City, I would like to address the perhaps unintended
consequences of the proposed Mass Re-Zoning Ordinance and 24 townhomes being proposed for the Medmont area of
Roanoke City. I would like to receive from each one of you a statement of where you stand on these two issues since
the November election is imminent and voting on this issue is currently scheduled before the election.
1. Property Depreciation— New construction such as townhomes and duplexes, and vastly increased density in former
single-family neighborhoods will depreciate property values and ultimately decrease Roanoke City tax revenue.
2. Loss of Quality of Life- Roanokers value the high quality of life in their residential areas. Purchase of a single-family
home is perhaps the largest investment a family will ever make, and they expect their local government to protect that
investment.
3. Unheard of Density-The amended density regulations set out in the Mass Ordinance cause disastrous and bizarre
results which could not have been intended by City Council. For example, a two-acre lot is 87,120 square feet which at
i
2500 square feet per dwelling would allow 34 dwelling units (8 townhome buildings with 4 dwellings each and one
duplex). All 34 dwellings may be rental units, and depreciation of adjoining single-family homes will certainly occur.
4. Incompatible Uses-The Mass Zoning Ordinance permits incompatible uses by right-in-residential areas. These uses
include all dwellings, "regional housing services", "community housing services", day-care home adult, day-care home
child, family-day home, and various undefined home occupations, all without limits as to hours of operation. Permitting
these and similar uses within residential districts causes damage to fine City neighborhoods.
5. Accessory Uses- An accessory dwelling unit is permitted in all residential districts, and accessory dwellings "shall not
be considered in determining compliance with minimum lot area for each dwelling". These accessory-dwelling units
may be for commercial uses, such as short-term rentals, without limit as to number of occupants, hours of operation
and onsite parking requirements.
6. Parking Shortage- In allowing intense development of small City lots,the Mass Ordinance fails to consider necessary
parking. There is already in short supply street parking; parking wars will become the norm. In addition, I cannot even
imagine the inpact on parking with the addition of 24 townhomes in Medmont.
7. Loss of Critical Tree Coverage—It has been reported that the City has tree canopy coverage of 33%and has
established a coverage goal of 40%. Roanoke's temperatures are already 2-3 degrees higher than adjoining localities,
and intense development in residential areas and resulting loss of tree canopy coverage will only raise temperatures,
thereby, increasing cooling costs which has the greatest impact on lower-income households.
8. Public Service Access- In the narrow streets of densely-developed neighborhoods, there will be vehicles on both
sides of the street. With the new high density of dwellings allowed by the Mass Ordinance, limiting parking to one side
is not a feasible alternative. I do not believe that issues like emergency vehicles, waste collection, City services, and
school buses have been addressed.
9. Undemocratic- City staff has sold City Council an Ordinance that rezones without adequate notice to every
residential property in the City. Moreover,the Ordinance is undemocratic as it authorizes interim members of City
Council to make critical zoning decisions that should be made by the elected City Council.
10. City Council Owes a Duty to all Neighborhoods- Voters expect Council members to honor their fiduciary duty to
protect neighborhoods in all quadrants of the City. Council should not blindly follow the lead of vastly-dissimilar cities
such as Alexandria and Charlottesville. Roanoke City Council must act independently and quickly to rectify these
rezoning plans.
I am asking each of you to vote "NO" on this Mass Re-zoning Ordinance and the building of 24 new townhomes in
Medmont.

Although we realize the property in question known as Keagy Way will

The issue with the application is quite glaring in that the street is described
as having a "45 degree sweeping turn". The fact is the turn is actually very
close to a 90-degree turn. This incorrect information signed by the

the existing road that does notcurb andgutter
measure 22 feet wide. This makes the road
nominally 25 feet wide inside the curbs. With
s families, 24 units with
single car driveways it is necessary to provide
only temporary for deliveries, moving vans, and service
street parking even if
vehicles. According to the Roanoke City Retrofit Guidelines for
nector
streets the street needs to be nominally 29 feet between the curbsoo allow
for two travel lanes and one parking lane. The 29-foot measurement allow
between the curbs is also important to allow priority vehicles which are Fire
Trucks and large service vehicles a lane if vehicles are parked on both sides
of the street. Our neighbors in more recently build developments have
streets at least 29 feet wide, so we are really concerned about this possible
bottle neck in an emergency. Please reference above that this street
includes not only a 90 degree turn and a 20-degree sloping hill.
We would like to the plan reevaluated with corrected verbiage in the
application and some consideration for the safety of the new and existing
neighbors.

Dear City Council members: Aa a longtime resident of The Medmont subdivision, I ask you NOT to approve the Boone
zoning change request before you on July 15,2024. Along with the previously listed safety and personal security
concerns, parts of Medmont are in a Flood Zone. My home is; I have been flooded twice.There's no question that if
Boone's zoning change request is allowed, his subsequent new home constructions will dramatically increase flood
water runoffs in Medmont.The Boone buildout, if allowed,will ensure my home is flooded yet again.That Flood Zone
buildout, to my understanding, is prohibited by FEMA. I humbly ask the Council to not allow Boone to continue to
ravage Roanoke for his profit, regardless of community and citizen consequences. Appreciate your time and
considerations. Ken Harris, 1555 Coral Ridge Road, Roanoke, 24018

Good morning!
As a resident of Medmont for almost 20 years,I wish to express my concerns and opposition to the proposed development of 24
townhouses just inside one of only two(2)entrances/exits into and out of our current 48-home neighborhood from Medmont Circle to
Keagy Road.To illustrate the concerns of many neighbors in Medmont, I would invite members of the Planning Commission and
City Council to drive through our Medmont neighborhood and note these access points.
Health issues prevent me from attending the Planning Commission meeting(July 8) and City Council meeting(July 15);therefore,
please accept this written email to register my strong opposition to the rezoning application of eight(8)lots which is required to
develop the Master Plan proposed by ABoone Real Estate,Inc.
My greatest concern with the Boone expansion is the traffic nightmare that will be created by a multi-year construction project that
will severely clog Medmont Circle as vehicles attempt to exit the neighborhood to flow out onto Keagy Road. And,conversely,the
construction project will impact traffic entering the neighborhood from Keagy Road into Medmont Circle. Heavy construction
equipment will impede our neighbors attempting to enter and exit as they leave for work, shopping,appointments, etc.
The normal traffic in our neighborhood has always included numerous lawn care trucks with flat beds loaded with lawn mowers and
other equipment. Home renovation vehicles and vans are constantly entering and exiting our neighborhood,as well as the daily flow
of postal and delivery services,school buses,City trash collection vehicles,utility vehicles,and guests to our homes.
From what I understand,the actual road(Medmont Circle)on which these townhouses will be built is currently very narrow already.
With the addition of sidewalks and driveways,I foresee a traffic nightmare with no solution.
Since Alexander Boone has proposed older Medmont residents consider selling their homes to move into these townhomes,I'm sure
he is well aware of the demographics of our existing neighborhood.We have many senior citizens,including myself,who I fear will
totally lose the Keagy road access during construction. I personally find it dangerous to use the 419/Electric Road access if turning
left when leaving the neighborhood.I cannot imagine how much worse it will be if we are avoiding Keagy Road access because of
construction,to be lined up,waiting for traffic both ways on 419 to clear.
Thank you to the Planning Commission and Roanoke City Council for listening to your constituency in considering our objections to
this rezoning amendment and the proposed expansion of our neighborhood. Again,I hope you can drive through our neighborhood
prior to next week's meetings.I think you will understand our concerns.

Resident of Medmont Circle

I am writing to voice my opposition to the rezoning of Medmont subdivision to build 24 townhomes. The
area is already congested at the Keagy Rd entrance. The addition of multiple unit homes will increase traffic
and also cause excess wear and tear on an area that has always been single family housing. The construction
itself will be disruptive to emergency vehicles that normally use Keagy Rd. There are numerous deer and other
animals living in that area and as with any large building the environment will be affected.
I urge you as a member of the city Planning Commission or as a member of City Council to vote no to this
proposal.

Mr. Mayor and Members of City Council,
My name is Greg Danahy, and I am writing to you today on behalf of myself and my
wife. Along with our daughter and son, we are members of the Deyerle neighborhood
where we bought our home on South Lake Dr in 2021. We have come to love The
Greater Deyerle neighborhood and are excited to see it grow.
We have been Roanoke City citizens for almost a decade and have always appreciated
the way in which it has evolved into an eclectic melting pot of diverse people, places
and housing options. We have lived in apartments, and single-family homes alike, and
have been grateful for the options Roanoke City has provided at different points in our
life.
The proposed development on Medmont Circle is one we believe will continue to
provide diverse options for housing, inviting equally diverse neighbors into our lives.
Additionally, the general shortage of housing within City limits demands developments
of this nature. Considering the lack of housing overall, it's encouraging to see
individuals continuing to choose to invest in our community here in Roanoke. I believe
the development team to be one of the highest caliber, who will seek to stitch their
vision into the existing neighborhood as seamlessly as possible.
With the highest respect to those who may disagree with us, we would ask this Council
to approve the rezoning of the corner of Medmont and Keagy Roady to allow for the
installation of 24 new townhomes.
Respectfully submitted,
Greg Danahy

Re: Opposition to Medmont Rezoning
Dear Mr. Mayor, Vice Mayor and Members of Council
I write to call your attention to two issues concerning the application of ABoone Real
Estate, Inc. to rezone Keagy and Medmont property.
Hon.Sherman P Lea Jr.,Mayor
and Members of City Council
July 15,2024
Page 2
THIS MATTER IS NOT PROPERLY BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
The planning department has adopted the practice of publishing one notice for both
Planning Commission and City Council meetings, rather than separate notices for the Planning
Commission and Council. I am advised the purpose of allowing such a combined notice in the
statute is for the situation when the Planning Commission and City Council have a combined
meeting,which is not this case.
Effective July 1, 2024, the Planning Commission is prohibited from recommending and
City Council is prohibited from adopting an ordinance approving a rezoning request when the
second published notice is less than seven days before the meeting. In this instance, the second
notice was published on July 8, 2024. EXHIBIT 1. That is the very morning of the Planning
Commission meeting convened only a few hours later at 1:30 pm. and fails to meet the minimum
seven-day advance notice required by statute.
Therefore,the purported Planning Commission action recommending approval is void and
of no effect and therefore City Council has nothing before it on which to act, and any purported
action is likewise void ab initio.
PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL HAVE BEEN PROVIDED DEFICIENT
INFORMATION BY PLANNNG STAFF
In response to my question when I first met with the agent for the Planning Commission,
she advised me she was going to recommend approval of the Boone rezoning. That was when it
was 17 townhomes. Her decision was made without any public input and the process used by the
Planning Commission and City Council does not allow meaningful comment by citizens affected
by Council action when the planning staff and developer are allowed unlimited time to speak
before Council,but citizens are typically limited to 3-minutes.
This limited opportunity for public comment coupled with the staff doing its own
extremely restricted summary of the citizen comments and doing so only by a phrase referring to
the topic and not the substance of the comment,results in deficient information being provided to
the Planning Commission and City Council on which it makes its decision.
The Development Conflicts with Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan
The staff report states:
The Amended Application No.3 is consistent with the general principles within the
City's Comprehensive Plan, Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan, and the Zoning
Ordinance as the subject property will be developed and used in a manner
appropriate to the surrounding area.
Hon.Sherman P Lea Jr.,Mayor
and Members of City Council
July 15,2024
Page 3
Omitted from the staff report is this language from the Greater Deyerle Neighborhood Plan.
"High Priority Initiatives. Zoning. 2)Maintain the current residential zoning on Keagy Road."p.
7. Also, the "Future Land Use Map" shows Medmont as "Single Family Residential" and not
"Mixed Density Residential." p. 16.
Those conspicuous omissions cannot be reconciled with a staff report that says the
development is consistent with the"general principles"of the neighborhood plan.
Interdepartmental Comments
The staff-prepared report to City Council states:
General comments were provided from the Western Virginia Water Authority,
Fire department, and the Planning Building and Development department
related to: water and sewer availability,fire code standards, building and
zoning subdivision requirements, and the permitting process.
However, City Council has not been provided with those comments which are of critical
importance to the decision of whether this application should be approved. Because the staff did
not provide those documents,I filed a FOIA request with the City.The response was due last Friday,
but in violation of the Code of Virginia the City has not responded so I will be unable to provide
you with critical information the staff report failed to provide.
Proposed Development is Not Appropriate for the Surrounding Area
Omitted from the staff-prepared report to City Council, and apparently unknown to the
staff, are the deed restrictions of the Medmont subdivision. For example, the staff report states:
"The setbacks reflect those required in the R-12 District."Medmont has required setbacks of 40-
feet,not the less restrictive setbacks of R-12.The setbacks of the development do not reflect those
of the surrounding neighborhood.
Staff Report Summary of Citizen Comments is Deficient
Also, the staff summarized citizen comments in its report to the Planning Commission
(with identical language in the staff-prepared report of the Planning Commission to City Council),
as follows:
Public comment has focused on lack of public notice, lack of property being
offered for sale publicly, disruption to the tight-knit community,proposed
dwellings not matching the existing single-unit detached dwelling on large lot
character of the existing neighborhood lower property values, added traffic on
Hon.Sherman P Lea Jr., Mayor
and Members of City Council
July 15,2024
Page 4
Medmont Circle, increased stormwater, reduction in green space, and increase
in dwellings increasing liability for the private lake in the neighborhood.
That summary is inaccurate and incomplete. For example, I commented on liability
concerns surrounding Medmont Lake,the reasons for those concerns,and offered a solution.None
of that is included in the staff report. There are many other examples of the staff report summary
not conveying the gravamen of citizen concerns.
CONCLUSON
For these reasons, City Council should not act on the rezoning of Keagy and Medmont at
its meeting today.
Very truly ours,

Thank you Mr. Mayor, Mr. Vice Mayor, City Council Members, City Manager, and City Attorney,
for the opportunity to speak in opposition to the Boone &others, the rezoning plan &
development, designated to affect the Medmont Subdivision.
I am John Harris and have lived on Medmont Circle for 42 years and am still practicing
dentistry after 42 years, in the cities of Roanoke, Salem, and Roanoke County.
All of you as Officers of City Council, Officers of Planning Commission, and any other officer of
the city, took an oath of office to fulfill the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution
and Code of Virginia, and the Roanoke City CODE.
In 1991, Governor Wilder appointed me to the Virginia Board of Dentistry, serving two years
with him and two years with Governor Allen. I too, took an oath of office to the US and VA
constitutions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our Citizens but, was not present on
that Board to be an advocate of the American Dental Association, Virginia Dental Association,
Piedmont Dental Society, or Roanoke Valley Dental Society, all of which I am a Life Member. I
was an advocate for the Citizens of Virginia. I was never ask to recuse myself from any Board
business by any citizen, or any dentist, dental hygienist, or licensed dental laboratory.
The point is that we all serve in our respective roles in government as public advocates. You
continue to do so as our elected and appointed officials. States and local governments have a
constitutional duty to protect public safety, along with health and welfare of all.
Our neighborhood and others have demonstrated our concerns for the negative impact that
this rezoning change will have, especially by going from an approved 8 patio homes, to 17
townhouses, and now to 24 townhouses.
I ask that you consider voting against this rezoning, or considering amending the proposal to
allow the original patio homes and two additional patio homes across the street from the
currently approved 8 patio homes. This is within your authority to do so, as specified by law.
Thank you.
John L Harris III MS DDS
