Upon request by certain ee~bers of Council, the City Attorney advised as to the
objectives of Ordinance No. 23711.
Hr. Taub~an inquired of the City Attorney if August 1st passes and Council does not
proceed vith the plan as was anticipated, ~hat effect viii this bare, ~hereupon, the City Attorney
replied that the Ordinance passed by Council has an effective date of August 1, that Council has
it vithin its po~er to amend the effective date by amendment to the Ordinance, and if such action
has not been taken by August 1st, there vould exist a technical violation of the Ordinance,
Hr. Garland urged that one of the five members~ao voted in the affir~ative for Ordinance
~o. 23711 move to rescind lt. He said Hr. Crave% motion is an admission that the administration
is not prepared to make the change at this ti~e, He said the procedure has created a~ass of
confusion with recommendations and regulations that the ~eneral public does nor understand. It
has made the elderly, sick and disabled have to beg and plead for exemption. It viii only create
further animosity to~ard this City and toward City Council f~'r enforcing the Ordinance. He
begged that C~uncil reconsider its previous decision and reinstate the present system because
it has worked very good for many years and offered a valuable semite to the citizens. He said
Council is unnecessarily arousi~ the people against it at a time ~enCouncil needs their support.
Hfs, Bo~les said that Council was elected by the people to do ~hat it feels is the very
best in the interest of the citizens of this city, that in her personal opinion curbstde pickup
is one of the most expedient ways to cur back on our expenditures, that if Council does not take
a stand no~ and attempt to use the citizens~ money in what it feels is the wisest and best way,
it is going to be faced in a fe~ years with the question of again raising taxes, She said it is
a matter of placing priorities as to ~hether Council ~ill provide this service no~ or raise taxes
later.
Hr. Hubard agreed with Hrs. ~o~les, advising that Council is trying to step back and
take another look at the precise method in which it will i~lement amendments in garbage collection.
He said the point has been raised if lit. Grave's ~otlon is passed that Council is placing the
City ~anager in a posture of not being able to co~ply with a valid Ordinance of this City and,
for that reason and ~ith the permission of Hr. Grove, t~e ~aker of the motion presently on the
floor, and Hr. Taub~an, seconder of the motion~ he moved that the City Attorney, before this
meeting is over, prepare and present to Council an Ordinance that would delay the effective date
of Ordinance Ro. 23711 until October 1, 1~77. ~he motion was seconded by Hr. Grove.
Hessrso Grove and Taubman then ~ithdra~ the original motion.
Hr. Thomas requested that the record sho~ ~hen Council addresses itself to the budget
surplus~ he ~ould like to speak in reference to reinstating the ~t~O,O00 for refuse collection.
Upon question in reference to a previous suggestion by Hr. Kincanon that it ~ould be
more appropriate to reconsider the Ordinance rather than delay its enforcement, the City Attorney
stated that the Supreme Court of Virginia has said that a local Ordinance is la~, that he kno~s
of no way to amend or repeal that Ordinance unless there is another Ordinance to do so and he
suggested that he present to Council an Ordinance to change the effective date of enforcement
or an Ordinance to repeal Ordinance go. 23711. He said he is unaware of the procedure of recon-
sideration referred to by Hr. Ktucanono
The follo~i~g vote was recorded on Hro Hubard's motion:

Hr. Grove moved that the City H~nager be allo~ed to discontinue alley collection where,
in his Jud~ent, there is a danger to the safety of the City's personnel and property, and that

~bard.
Hr. Thomas spoke against the morion, advising that the City Hanager has alvays had the
inherent administrative pcn~er ~henever safety of personnel and property is concerned not to go
into a particular alley.
Hr. Hubard agreed with Hr. Thomas that the City Hanager has the right to make adjustments
~here the safety of city personnel and vehicles is concerned and that this should be stated in
tmequtvocal ter~s and ~oved that Hr. Grove*s ~otiou be amended to provide that Council confirms
that the City ~anager has the right to make adjustments in alley collection of garbage where he
feels the safety of city vehicles and employees is concerned. The amended motion ~as seconded by
Hr. Grove.
The Hayor stated that the City Hens[er has had th· right ·11 axon[ to do thisj that
Council does not have to ·ct nov to give him that authority and to do so viii uaJ~ it appear that

7. I reco~end that the collection year for real estate taxes
will be changed to coincide with the fiscal year, July 1

rate to a fiscal year basis will benefit the taxpayer and
the city because it ~ould be easier to adjust the tax rate
to meet budget needs and the city would have amore accurate
revenue projection for its budget. In order to fulfill this
reco~endatlon the citizens would experience an eighteen
month assessment period. This would provide the citizens
with an additional six nonth period without an increase in
real estate taxes. This arrangement would also mean changes
in tax collection dates.

REPORTS OF O~FICERS:
GI~AKIS-REHABILITATION CEHIERS: The City Hanager submitted a ~ritten report in connection
~ith the Crisis Inte~ention/Huna~ay House proposed to be located at 836 Campbell Avenue, S. ~.
He advised of a com~anication from HSD Eleanor V. Dye, Group Hc~e Specialist, and ~lllia= C.
~aters, Regional V Coordinator for the Department of Corrections, advising the City that they
~ere requesting the Division of Youth Services to recommend to the State Board of Corrections
that funding and support for the Crisis Intervention/Runaway Facility be withdrawn if the facility
is not operational by September 1, 19~] (this is the federal funding deadlinevhich requires the
facility to be operational ii federal funds are to be provided). He said that this deadline
places an undue burden upon the City if the site for this facility is changed, that the selection
of an alternate site ~ould require another public hearing on the ne~ site as ~ell as the probable
need for n~erous expensive modifications or repairs to comply ~ith minimum State Building Code
and Department of Correction standards. He noted that use of the former Alcoholic !talf-~ay House
at 836 Campbell Avenue as the ne~ Crisis Intervention[Runaway House eliminates these problems
since that facility already co~plies vith state requirements. He strongly recommended that
Council consider these points and make an ln~ediate decision to provide this facility as proposed
by the Juvenile Court a&ninistrators and the Juvenile Detention Facilities Study Co~mittee.
(For full text, see report on file in the City Clerk% Office.)
Kr. W, Heywood Fralin, Attorney, appeared before Council and read a prepared statmnt
in support of locating the facility &t 836 Ctm~bell Avenue, S. V., etatin~ that if Council desires
to use the $125,000 available funds to provide the youth of this city with a Crisis Croup Hose,
there is no question that the facility at 836 Campbell Avenue provides the best possible place
for this service. The property u~ets all zoning requirements and viii continue to be used ss a

that Council approve the project at this
(For full text, see statement on file in the City Clerkts Office,)
Hr. C. A. Hubbard, property o~ler on Campbell Avenues S. ~., inclose proximity to the
property in questions appeared before Council in opposition to the proposed location of the Center
and stated that he is concerned vtth the apparent belief that in a City the size of Roanoke,
there is no other location available and he does not feel that adequate effort has been put forth
to find another such location. Re again called attention to the fact that if this facility is
allcved to locate iu the former Halfway House, it will be within approximately 320 feet of another
such facility. He urged that Council carefully consider the wishes of the residents and requested
that the facility be located elsewhere.
Hr. Grove, Chairman of the Juvenile Detention Facilities Study Comndttee, advised that
there are many points which make the facility on Campbell Avenue an appropriate place to locate
the Crisis Inte~ention/Runavay House. He £aid be could understand Hr. Hubbard% position and he
hopes that in a very short period of time any fears he m ay have will be eliminated because he
does not feel the Juvenile authorities would allow any operation other than a very efficient and
yell run shelter. He noted that there viii be fifteen Juveniles with a supervisory staff of eight
and It seems almost i~possible to think that there would be disciplinary problems under those
conditions. He said he does not feel that placing the house in this location viii he a deterrent
in any way to the neighbors and for that reason offered the following Hesolution~

by Hr. Taubmaa and adopted.
The Hayor then called upon the City Attorney to present a statement of purpose concerning
the public hearing; vhereupoa, the City Attorney stated that Section 58-7g~.1 of the Code
Virginia requires a public hearing whenever au annual assessment of real property resulte 1~ an
increase of eight per cent in the total amount of the real estate tax collected over that collected
in the previous tax year and it vould appear that the annual assessment of real property for
calendar year l~l~ will result in an increase of at least eight per cent iu the total amount of
real estate taxes collected over calendar year 1976. Re noted that 19?8 assessments are not at
issue ia this public hearing. ~nder the circumstances, Council has two options pursuant to State
Code, (1) it =ay reduce the real estate tax to produce no more than 108 per cent of the tax levy
for 1976, or (2) it may hold a public hearing to determine if the increase is dee~ed necessarf by
Council.Ne stated that the public hearing was advertised publicly for two consecutive weeks, 30
days prior to the hearing, that all persons will he given an opportunity to speak and will be
able to speak for a reasonable amount of time. Subsequent to the hearing, Council will make a
findin~ as tov hether it deems the 1977 real estate taxee necessary. He said if Council finds
the additional revenue is necessary, there viii be no chanse in the tax rate, and if Council
finds the additional revenue is unnecessary, it viii roll the real estate tax rate back to
produce no~orn than 108 per cent of the levy for 1976,
The follovi~ persons appeared before Council:
Hr. Charles L. Landis, 1611 Siinon~oad, H. ~., critized Co~m-
cai for not holding the public hearing at the Roanoke Civic Center
durin~ the evenini houre, advising that Council*s decision to hold
the public hearing at 2:00 p.u.s has, in effect, closed the hearing
to the vorkl~ public v ho cannot leave their Jobs to attend and
this exclusive session further illustrates Council°s lack of
concern for the average vorkinS taxpayer of Roanoke. He said
the public hearing is shout one year too late since the tax
rate has already been applied end collected faf three-fourths
of this t~x year, therefore, the sole purpose of having this
hearing at thls tine would see~ to be a feeble belated attempt
to $1ve the appearance of compliance with the Co~e of Virginia
which requires such a hearing and this entire charade appears
to be designed to forestall any legal challenge to the collec-
tion of excess real estate t~xes for the 1977 tax year. He
said the need for the increased real estate tax rate cannot he
substantiated since on June 30, 1977, the city had a budget
surplus of approximately $1.8 million and mona of this surplus
vas due to the fact that city employees received no pay
creases during the fiscal year, plus increased collection of
venue for six months for the 18 per cent real estate tax rate
increase and reassessuent of property. He said this adulated
surplus should have been at least two times that a~ount and next
yearts surplus should be even greater if p~dent spending
practices are carried out. In light of the budget situation,
plus the latest disclosure that business gross receipts taxes
are proposed to he lowered at least ten per cent, he feels the real
estate tax rate should be lo~eFed ten per cent effective
January 1, 1978o He recommended that Co~ncil take l~ediate
action to set the tax year and assessment year to coincide
with the fiscal year.
Hr. Jimy Har~ey, 2056 Hem*rial Avenue, S. W., stated that
Council has entertained the foil*ming since being elected to office:
increase in the cigarette tax, tax on restaurants, advertising taxes,
increase in sign i~surance fee from $1 to $10s increase in the water
rates, increase in the utility tax take through high utility bills,
increase in the real estate taxes through two methods (1) reassessments
and (2) increase in the tax rate, and increase in the personal
property taxes. He noted that Council has accomplished the following
in tax related areas: a proposed decrease in the real estate tax
rate of ~0.04 and a decrease of 2 1/2 per cent in the utility tax.
In summary, he said the tax situation in the City of Roanoke is a
very serious problem to the middle and lc~er income citizens and any
relief would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.
Hr. Frank W. Carter, 3711 Bear Road, S. E., advised that he
is a 100 per cent disabled veteran, that his real estate taxes
have doubled and he feels Council should revert back to the
1975 or 1976 tax rate. He also called attention to a drainage problem
at his residence, advising that the city promised him some relief
by July 1, 1977; however, those promises have not been kept and if
something is not done by October 1, he intends to take further action.
Hr. E. ~. Andersen, 317 Darwin Road, S. ~., gave a history of
assessments of homes in Edgehlll Estates and the inequities ~htch
exist, advising that reassessments were raised by approximately
$20,000 and when this was questioned, residents were told that
the computer was wrong. He said his assessment was raised from
~48,000 to ~73,000, that his lot was assessed at $18,000 and the
two lots next door~nich are larger and have a more even terrain
were assessed at $16,000o After checking into the matter, his
reassessment was reduced to $64,000 for 1977. He noted for 1978,
his reassessment is ~68,000. He also voted that the house next door
to him which sold for $105,000 is assessed at ~67,000.
Hrs. Virginia Dare, 2825 Olive Road, N. ~., asked if it is
possible that such things as square footage, lot size, fire-
places, number of bathrooms, etc., are added into the computer
as a plus, and if it is also possible that such things as
im~ediate surroundings, etc. are fed into the ccrmputer as a minus.

Hrs. A. K. Simmons, 3106 Forest Hill Avenue, N. ~., advised that she does not like
the way in which Council provided funds for the parking garage because the matter was not
brought to the attention of the public.
Hrs. Anne Foster, 2322 Oakland Boulevard, N. ~., asked Council what it has done to
satisfy the efforts and wishes of the Roanoke Fo~ard program.
Council being of the opinion that the increase in real estate taxes collected in
1977 over 1976 is necessary, Hr. Garland moved that the City Attorney be instructed to
Taubman and adopted.
gUSES: Pursuant to Ordinance No. 23539, the City Hanager stated that at the meeting
of Pendleton Lines, Ltd., for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, and rec~n~ended
that Council establish the next meeting date as a time to receive written co~ents from
interested parties who might object to the issuance of said Certificate, the matter was
before the body.
The liayor inquired if there were persons in the Council Chmnber who would lika to
be beard in connection with the application and there being none, Hr. Taubman offered the
certificate of public convenience and necessity for the operation of a mass transit syste~ by
motor vehicle within the City of Roanoke.

and to use his discretion if necessary to establish priorities within the five year progr~.

pENDING 1TKSlS: The City Clerk presented a list of pending items from dune 21, 1976

(For full text, see list on file in the City Clerk% Office.)
Hr. Hubard questioned the status of a report of the Roanoke Highway Safety Co~mtssion
which was referred to the City~anager on June 21, 1976, relative to review of the current
policy on funeral escort service.
The Director of Administration and Fublic Safety advised that he feels the problem has
been resolved inasmuch as the city has not received any co~plaints recently from funeral directors.
He said that police escorts have been provided for large processions at unusual hours and that
escorts are provided when funeral directors request them.
The Hayor stated that he does not feel the situation has been resolved and cited an
incident where a funeral procession was recently disrupted by a school bus. He said the funeral
processivnwas split into two parts when the school bus stopped to discharge children. He also
noted that school officials have been contacted as to the possibility cf the drivers keeping
their doors closed until the funeral procession has passed.
After a discussion of the matter, Hr. Thomas moved that the City Hanager be instructed
to contact the local funeral directors relative to police escorts for funeral processions and
inquire as to ~hether or not the procedure ~hich is currently in use is acceptable and further
that the City ~anager be instructed to report back ~0 the Council sometime during the mo~th of
November. The motion was seconded By Hr. Carland and unanimously adopted.
Hr, Thomas moved that the list be received and filed. The w~tion was seconded by Mr.
Taubman and unanim~usly adopted.

Hr. Richard Hart, 1638 Stewart Avenue, S. E., said there are
many qualified residents Of southeast who could serve on Council
with distinction, citizens ~ho could serve the responsive
needs of their neighborhood. He noted that a modified ward
system would make City government more accessible to the people
of southeast by ~aking it more personal. He said he would not
support a total ward system, but would support a modified plan.
Hr. H. Carl Andre~s, 281& Cr~stal Spring Avenue, S. ~.,
Mrs. HarJorie Seymour, 2516 L~ngvie~Avenue, S. ~., urged
that if Council adopts the modified ward plan, that it adopt
the five at large members and four wards. She said that when
the people vote for a Hayor, they vote for the ~an to do
the entire Job which includes ceremonial aspects and presiding
over Council. She noted if there is a presiding officer and a
Hayor, the citizens will not know which ~ayor to deal with.
In concluding, she said this is denuding the Hayor in many
respects and therefore, she is strongly against that portion
of the report.

closing, he noted that we do not need to divide ~anoke
further, and drive out more ledivldmile and businesses that would
be willln~ to locate here if the City Mere luore unified.
H~ving heard from all the speakers both pro ami con, the H~yor advised that the
report of the League of Mo~en Voters h~s been referred to the CouncilJs Financial and Planning
Session on 14onday, November 21, 1977, for input from the u~bers of Council. He expressed
appreciation for the interest shc~n by the citizens on the uatter.
FARXINGCARA~E-STREETS AXDALLEYS-STATE HIGI~ATS~ Council havin~ set a public
hearin~ for 7~30 p.n., Hon~ay, November l&, 1977, on~hether airspace and an easement for

tion and n~intenance of a pedestrian bridge between the new parking facility and United
Virginia Bank guilding, the ~tter was before the body.
Hr. Donald ~etherington, Attorney, representin~ United Virginia Bankshares, Incorporated,
appeared before Council and said that his client vie~e the development of the bridge between
the bank building and the parking garage as a continuing progressive step in the development
of the dovmto~m business district.' Re noted that the bridgevay will obviously benefit his
client, but at the same time it vlll benefit the City ia that it will encourage increased
pedestrian traffic into the parking garage and will elininate some pedestrian congestion iron
the street belo~. He noted examples of such valkvays in Eoanoke, Riclmond, Norfolk and
Alex~ndria. He said that in considering the total benefit to be derived iron this development
for the people of Roanoke as veil as the bank, his client believes that a nominal consideration
is in order, and the City H~nagerOs Office is in a position to rec~end a rate that co~npates
with the Richmond rate vhich is $.25 per squ~re foot of floor area. He noted that his client
concurs in this proposal and requests that Council adopt the necessary enabling Ordin~nces.
The Assistant City ~ager noted thac the proposed use of the airspace is 17 · feet
above the surface of the roadway, whereas, the ninimun require~ent is 1S feet. He said the City
has reviewed the plans and finds then acceptable and pointed out that Council approved a change
order in which the hank paid to have certain modifications ~ade to the garage structure in order
to support the walkway.

~EARI~G O~ CITIZENS UPON PUBLIC bL~I~ERS:
ZO~I~G: Council having set a public hearing for ~:30 p.m., ~onday, December 12,
on a proposed amendment to Section g, C-l, Office and Institutional District, of the lonl~
Ordinance, to provide that rehabilitation centers, boarding and rooming houses, sanitariums, rest
ho~e% and convalescent he.es for the abed no lonter be per~ttte~ uses and structures in the
Office and Institutional District, but be per~itted as special exceptions provided that certain
conditions are me~ after notice and public hearing before the Board of Inning Appeals, the ~atter
~as before the body.
In this connection, the City Planning Co~lssion submitted a ~ritten report setting
forth the proposed amendment.
(For full text, see report on file in the City Clerk's Office.)
Hr. Taub~n moved that the follc~lng Ordinance be placed upon its first reading:
(f239~3) ~ ORDINANCE to amend and reordain Section 8. C-1 office and instit~tional
district, of Chapter t.1. Zoning, of Title XV. Construction, Alteration and Use of Land, Buildings
and Other Structures, of the Code of the City of Roanoke (19f6), as amended, to provide in the

uses and structures and that they be permitted as special exceptions, provided certain conditions
are met.
(For full text of Ordinance, see Ordinance Book
The motion ~as seconded by ~r. Hubard.
The~ayor asked if there ~ere persons presen~ vho vould like to speak in reference to
the proposed amen~ent; ~hereupon, Dr. Robert C. Cra~ford, 122& Franklin Road, S. ~., appeared
before Council and read a prepared statement advising that the proposed a~endment does not require
an exact definition of the te~ "rehabilitation unit~. He noted that he does not believe tha~
any state andfor city corrections rehabilitation unit or half.ay house has any right in a residen-
tial area. He said that according ~o the proposed~aendment, a puhlic heari~§ ~ould be held
before the Board of goningAppeals and this is vrong because the public hearing should be before
the City Council, the elected repre~entatives of the citizens of the City of Roanoke. Dr. Cra~ford
said the proposed provision of 'lf00 feet apart" is merely a slight dilution, not a solution to
the problem. He said that all of the current state and city correction units in Roanoke could be
located in old southwest or in the C-1 area, and still be 1~00 feet apart, thus co~plyin§ vith
the ne~ proposed a~end~ent. He suggested consideration of a t~o part solution: (1) refuse
entrance to any agency ~hich does not or cannot maintain the residential character of the C-1
area and (2) refuse Col entrance to any correctional agency (the term "correctional" unit should
be applied to that agency ~hich accepts people by court order).
(For full text, see statement on file in the City Clerk's Office.)
~r. Robert N. Richert, President of the Old Southwest Heighborhood Alliance, 61~ Allison
Avenue, $. ~., appeared before Council and spoke in favor of the ~end~enr, advising tha~ he
feels the amendment, although it has certain in~dequ~cies, is better than the present situation.
He said the provision of a public hearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals is a bit of a sh~

Hr. Grove offered the recc~ended e~ergency Ordinance. The ~otion ~as seconded by Hr.
Garland.
Mr. Thon~ said he is in agreement with the overal! intent of the Ordinance, however,
there are certain areas of the city ~hlch pay their fair share and do not ~ave the s~e proble~
as others, that it is true these areas should b~ar their degree of the additional responsibility,
but it ds incumbent upon the city in those instances to help alleviate the situation by providing
the lnst~entality, in this case the backflo~ valve, by installing it and settlng the price.
He said he ~ondered if the city"s respo~ibillty does not go beyond the O~dlnance, that be
could appreciate the intent of the Ordinance because the motter has caused the city proble~ but
the situation could get out of hand unless the city sets the standards, provides guidance to the
citizens and indicates how to go about rectifying the situation.
In further explanation of his position, Hr. Thomas said if the Ordinance stated what
the standards are, if the city viii make the installation or whether this viii be the responsibilitl
of the individual citizen and that the citizen is f~lliar with the requirements, he would have
no difficulty with the Ordinance and for that reason he offered a substitute motion that the
matter be referred to the Acting CltyManager with the request that he elaborate on the requirements
~hich will be imposed upon city residents if the proposed Ordinance is adopted. The motion was
seconded by Hr. Garland and adopted.

OPPORTUNITIES IH~JSTRIALI~A~IO~CE~I~: Hr. Ceorse E. Franklin, Executive Director,
Opportunities Industrialization Center, appeared before Council and read a prepared state.eat
sdvisin~ that he has a great feeling of depression when he sees the ~overnor of Virginia allo~lng
his public ~nage to become the bars at the windows and the guards at the doors in Virginia~e
public institutions of high education for him and other me~bers of his ethnic group. He said
me~bere of his ethnic Stoup fovght in the 1950~s and 1960~s to get through these barriers and
they do not expect the~ to be re~oved over the next century. Re said hie ethnic group expects the
governments to spearhead the re.oval, not under-gird thenl that he, as a blscknan, would like to
use his time addressin~ the problems of all Roanokers, such as e~ploymentl education, envirotmental
healtb~ including housing, bunan respect and nationalism, but he must now give time to addressing
the rejection of a quality approach to preparin~ the future for his children and the children of
his ethnic grovp. He asked for Council% assistance in this matter because Council% considered
opinion expressed to the ~overnormay prevent his having to take.ore time fronhis effort to
help revitalize the spirit of Roanokers.
Hr. Franklin further co~ented on the fact that OIC has received $65~0OO for lmple~entin$
a prosra~ in ~outhCo~mnity Conservation and I~prove~ent Projects, that 25 youths between the
ages of 16 and 19 are being e~ployed under this federal progr~and their efforts should result
in an additional ~ youths having part-time work not supported by federal funds. He noted that
these young people will be deployed in four areas that have direct benefits to the people of the
Valley: (1) neighborhood lmprove~ent~ (2) neighborhood educational services, (3) co~unity
health services and education~ and (~) data collection. He said this program should put $~,OOO.00~
via salaries, into the Roanoke Valley.
Hr. Franklin noted further that on February l, 1978~ OIC entered into a lease agreement
with the city for Stall 33 at the Clty H~rket Building and they are no~ preparing it as their
first youth and senior citizens e~ploy~ent a§ency, l~neir goal is to match the growth and
stage of youth ~ith the skill stage of senior citizens for the purpose of providing citizens of
the Valley with affordable part-ti~e employees who can do quality work on s~all Jobs fro~house
cleaning to landscaping.
In concl~dir~, Hr. Franklin asked that Council consider upgrading the Stadit~ facility.
Ne noted that OIC bas experienced locks bel~ changed without notifying them and/or providing
keys, that they recently experienced a truck fallin~ through the blacktop because the city had falle
to have it repaired an~ with a new City ~naEer, OIC would like to have Co~ncil consider upEradin~
and lncreasin~ the utilization of the stadi~ as a ~ulti-service facility. Ee said that the city
has Co~unity Development F~nds available and with OIC programs operating from the Stadium, they
think they can qualify for so~e of these funds as vel1 as others.

Hr. Taubman said there ~ere certain items in Hr. Franklin~s state.eat that should be
referred to 1978-~9 budget study and certain lt~ that should be referred to the city a~aninistrati¢
and moved that the statement be referred to the City Hana~er for the purpose of detet-mlnin~ where
the various requests should be referred. The motion was seconded by Hr. Garland and unanimously

REFUSE COLLECTION-EOA~OKEVALLEY COUNCIL OF C(I~1~I1'/ SERVICES: Hr. Claude Carico~
Chairman, Clean Valley Co~ittee~ appeared before Council and requested that Council adopt a measure
that would forwally channel Roanoke City's share of the funds provided by the State Litter Control
Act directly to the Clean Valley Co~nittee to help fund its operation in 19~8. He noted that
Hr. Frank Hunt~ Executive Coordinator of the Committee has been working closely with responsible
state officials to make this direct fundin~ possible, that he has been advised that the State
Division of Litter Control is very enth~siastic about the coordinated valley~ide program and
they consider it to be a most appropriate use of state funds.
Ihe Iiayor asked if there is any responsibility on the part of the City of Roanoke once
the funds are received to monitor in any ~ay the spendin~ of the funds~ ~nereupon, the City llanaEer
replied that in terlns of all grants there needs to be an appropriate ~onitoring program since the
city is ultimately responsible for the funds and he suggested that in terms of this ~rant and any
other grant ~hich is approved, Council should stipulate that the appropriate oversight mechanism
will be developed by the city ad~lnistration to insure that the funds are spent in accordance
with the purpose for which they were initially approved.
Hr. Grove offered the followtn~ Resolution of support for the Clean Valley Committee,
Incorporated:
(#21011) A RESOLUTION expressing support for the Clean Valley Cowmittee, Inc.~ authorizi~
the Colnmittee to coordinate a litter control program with Roanoke County and the City of Salem;

There was considerable discussion as to the part the City Manager will play in regard to
the School ~oard budget, whereupon, it was suggested that there be some meaningful dialogue between
the city administration and the school administration prior to the City Manager presenting the
school budget to Council. It was noted that this could be accomplished without any formal direction
from Council. In essence, it was stated that prior to making any cuts in the school budgett the
City HanaBer should establish a line of communication with the Superintendent of Schools advising
him of any proposed cuts and allow the Superintendent to address the issue of whether he feels the
cuts may or may not be Justified, then a series of alternatives could be arrived at Jointly between
the city administration and the school adm/ntstration.
The Council requested that action on the proposed 1978-79 fiscal year budget format and
content be deferred until the Financial and Planning Session of Council on Tuesday, February 21,

WATER DEPA~THEKI: Cotmcil having previously deferred action on a report of the City

the Chapel Forest Subdivision; and a report of the City Attorney, Director Of Finance and Assistant
CityHanager recommending that the city's existins policy of charSinN a hisher rate for water
pumped four rimes should continue in effect, the ~arter was asain before the body.
Ihe City Hanaser advised that he had not had an Opportunity to review the matter in
detail and requested an additional time extension in ~hich to respond; whereupon, Hr. Hubard
moved that action on the ~atter be deferred until the regular ~eeting of Council on Honday,
Hatch 13, 1978, at 7:30 p.mo The motion was seconded by Hrs: Bo~les and unanimously adopted.
Hr. WilllamR. Battle, 3419 ~est Ridge Circle, S. ~., appeared before Council and
advised that there are 29 residents in the Chapel Forest area who are affected by this 50 per
cent surcharge which has been in effect for approximately twenty years. He requested that the
surcharge be removed because it is unfair to charse higher water rates to these customers and
noted that the charge should be applied on a uniform rate. He said the cost to the city to
remove the additional eharse would be quite nominal.
pLA~/I~G: Hr. Curtis R. Jenninss, Jr., President, Blue Ridge Chapter, American I~titute
of Architects, and Dr. Cary Bickel appeared before Council in regard to the City of Roanoke

a pledge Of $2,000.00 from the city to pay for publishin~ of the study and transportation, food
and lodiinSoi the team members.
(For full text, see communication on file in the City Clerk% Office.)
The City Hanaser advised that he feels it is very important that whatever action is
taken in the future in terms of planninS vi11 he a step~hich~ill Brine about action and redevelop-
ment. He said we should insure that we not duplicate ou~ efforts so that when people participate
in the plan that is developed, they can be as well assured as possible that the plan will turn
into development itself and, therefore he indicated he would not be in a position to support an
independent planning effort that vas not dove-tailed and coordinated with anything that may trans-
pire downtown. He said at this time he is not in a position to recommend this process to Council
unless we can find a way to fit it in to a more detailed process vhichwould involve citizens
more completely than a four day study couldo
After a discussion of the matter, Hr. Taubman moved that the request be referred to the
City Hanaser for the purpose of meeting with representatives of the Citizens~ Envirolmental
Council and representatives of the American Institute of Architects to consider the role~ if any,
that R/UDAT could ass~e in the cityts planning scheme. The motion vas seconded by Hr. Hubard

Z~ING: Earlier in the meeting~ Council delayed action on the second reading of
Ordinance No. 24027 pending arrival of the Chairman of the City Planning Co~mission; vhereupon,
Hr. £uthy again appeared before Council and advised that Hr. Btadshav still had not arrived at
the meeting. He noted that in vie~ of Hr. Bradsha~s absence, he vo~ld t~y to present the
position of the Planning Coaission.
Hr. Kuthy then called attention to a vritten report of the Planning Comission advising
of an a~ended request of Hr. Frank N. Petkinsont Jro, Attorney, representing the Hountain
Bank, that approximately 1o5 acre instead of 3°77 acres be rezoned. He advised that the Planning
Commission also recommends denial of the amended request.
(Fo~ full text~ see report on file in the City Clerk% Office.)
Hr. Perki~son appeared before Council in support of the a~ended request Of his clientt
advising that this matter has been before Council and the City Planning C~mission a total of
five times and there has been no opposition other than that expressed by Hr. Kuthy. Be noted
that vhen the matter vas before the Planning Commission on the last occasion~ t~o affirwative
votes and four negative votes ~ere cast~ and in order to satisfy the Planning Commission in
regard to sc~e of its obJections~ h~ reduced the area requested to be rezo~ed from 3.7} acres
do~m to 1.5 acre.
Hr. Perkinson also advised that since he appeared before the City Planning Com~ission~
his client has ~t vith the c~ner of the lovnside Apartments, Hr. E~ard E* $i~on, and Hr.
Sigmon has agreed to a11o~ his client to install a curb along the street to separate the easement
and allo~ turn-ins to the apartments. He noted that the point is~ this is not a roadway ~aich
runs through a parking lot~ but a situation of a parking lot having been built on both sides of
a roa~ay because the ~nad~ay vas created before the apartments ~ere built, and they ~ere built
with a sufficient setback of ~7 feet.
Hr. Perkinson explained that the request has been a~ended to include only the portion
of the land onvhich the building is located (1.5 acre) and, if approved by Council, he viii go
to the Board of Zoning~ppeals and request a special exception to allo~ for parking on the RG-1
sections. He further explained that he rill guarantee to the Board of Zoning Appeals that the
parking area rill be screened and if the area along the Southvest Expressway is screened, this
viii eliminate the possibility of billboards.
Hr. Kuthy appeared before Council and noted the following points in opposition to the
request for rezoning:
(1) the parcel is landlocked and the only access is through
a thirty foot vide easement through a parking lot,
(2)there viii be no street frontage and no visibility from
the parcel,
(3) the parcel is in close proximity to an apartment complex
and a commercial use rill pel~tt any use listed under
the C-2 designation.

ZOSIHC~ Fursuant to Resolution Ho. 21~l& adopted by the Council on~nda~, Hatch
197&, the City Clerk set a public hearin~ for Honday, H~y 8, 1978, at 7:30 pomo, on the request
of Vlrsinia Sy~o~ Lutheran Rc~s, Incorporated, that prcperty located at 380& Srandon Avenue,
described as 12.1 acres, and bein$ part of the property d~sisnated by Official Tax So.
At the time of purchase of the land the R~verend C~rl Plock
was Executive Director of the Virginia Lutheran H~es.
The property was then in Roanoke Co~mty and Hr. Plack
potted to the Board that he had conferred with County
authorities aad there vete no problems in connection rich
Hr. Pinch also repotted to the Board thet he had held a
meetiu~ with nelshboze who had expressed concern that a
hl~h-riee building might be constructed and he assured
the~ that Virginia Lutheran Homes hsd no ouch plans.
In time, Hr. Plack found itnecessary to resl~n his posi-
tion with the Home because of ill heslth.
Hore recently, the Board of T~ustees has ~oved to provide
housing and other needed services for elderly persons who
do not need nursing care, but still need some support in
doily living.
A meeting was held on Hovember 12, 1976 with Hr. and Hrs.
~. S. Russell, whose property adjoins that of the Ho~e, to
outline the plans &nd the Russellts expressed no parti-
cular objection.
On the next day, Hrs. Russell telephoned and subsequently
wrote a letter objecting to the proposed Home, stating that
Hr. Plack had promised when the property vas purchased that
the Home would never build anythin~higher than a one story
building.
This c~e as a surprise to the Ho~e after o~ning the property
for nine years because they kne~ of no such agreement.
In an effort to resolve the problems, meetings were held
with neighbors and in seeking to cooperate with the neigh-
bors, the Home agreed to reduce the original plans from a
five story building to three stories.
Concerning the support commitment of Hr. Plack to limit con-
struction to a one stow building, no one vas present when
Hr. Plack dealt with the for~er o~ners, but he denies that he
~ade such commitments. There is no written agreement of any
kind and the only reference in writing is contained in a
letter to the Russell*s attorney, dated September 29, 1967,
in which he referred to the first unit and stated, **in all
likelihood the building would he a one floor plan and ex, and-
able horizontally rather than vertically.
Such a limitation as above stated would make it impossible to
operate economically or efficiently and the Board would never
have considered the pzc~erty with such limitations.
Dr. Htnnick pointed out that the proposed Home will be on L~e Highway, not Deyerle
Road or any of the streets in the backt that on Lee Highway there are restaurantst filling
stations, office buildings, apartments, Individual parking, and shopping centers, that the area
is not one-family residential, that one only has to look at a ~ap of the property to see ho~
far the facility will be from the neighbors tn the back, that all traffic viii be from Lee
Highway and most neighbors viii not even knew the facility ts there.
In summary, Dr. }iinnick explained that the Virginia Synod Lutheran Homes purchased
the property in all good faith that they would be free to establish a home for older people,
with the understanding that the proposed ho~e violated no zoning regulations in effect at that
time. He said they ~ade no commitments regarding one story construction. He explained that
the Home has reduced its plans fro~ five stories to three, that it is not possible to reduce
further and if this is not acceptable, they have no choice but to abandon the project.
The Reverend Robert Yellows, Administrator of the Virginia Synod Lutheran Homes, Incor-
porated, appeared before Council and advised that what is being proposed is a congregate housing
facility for the elderly, which is housing with supportive services for those 62 years of age or
oldero Re said that supportive services are those vhich help an individual remain independent
or semi-independent and is not to be confused with a health care facility such as the existing
nursing hclne. He noted that the supportive services shall include a dining room, hygiene services
as needed, housekeeping services as needed, social services, and recreational services in order
to assist the l~palred but not ill elderly to~alntain an independent or se~i-independent life
style.
The Reverend Fellows explained that residents of the facility viii range from persons
of low income to persons of wealth~ that those residentsmith lev income viii have the availabilit
of Section 8 rent s~bsidies while those of upper income will pay through their o~n resources,
that the poor, over the life of the project, will receive rent subsidies of over ~20million and
this money mill flow into the economy of the City of Roanoke and'vii1 be in addition to the cost
of the structure which is estimated at ~3.5 million.
In closing, the Reverend Fellc~s said the present nursing home building was grandfathered
into the city upon alme~ation with a I~-1 zoning and the Synod is in need of having the land
zoning updated to per, it the continued operation of the nursing ho~e in its present location
should they ever desire to bring it to the full 100 bed capacity as vas planned before bids were
received in 1973.

At 2:&0 p.m., the Hayor declared a brief recess.
At 2:55 p.m., the meeting reconvened vithHayor Taylor presiding and all members of
Council present.
Hr. Taubman advised that the Conflict of Interest la~s of the State of Virginia indicate
certain parameters vithin vhich, if a Council person falls, he or she is unable to vote on certain
issues. He said he vas unable to vote on this issue due to the fact that he is a member of the
Board of Directors of the bank that holds this property in the care of Its Trust Department. He
noted that the parameter vithinvhtch he did not fall but by a very small amount vas certain fees
vhich are rendered on behalf of the bank to certain Directors; therefore, he said he mst abstain
fro~votin/ on the issue at hand.
The Hayor advised that he too is on the same Board of Directors but does not hold the
sa~e position as Hr. Taub~ano He said he had received a ruling on the matter to the effect that
he is permitted to cast his vote.
The Hayor then requested the City Clerk to call the roll on Ordinance ~o. 2&139 on
first reading; ~hereupon, the ordinance vas adopted on its first reading by the follo~lnS vote:
HFS. HcLean noted that in the past the water has been a public eye sore, it smells bad,
but more importantly, it ts an extr~e danEer to the children in the neighborhood because in sc~e
places the water is as ~uch as three feet deep.
Hrs. HcLean stated that in ti~es past the residents have been able to call upon the
Fire Department to p~mp out the water, but no~ they are advised that the Fire Department is no
longer authorized to do this, so recently, in order to get the water pimped out, residents called
numerous city officials and received no assistance until they were able to talk with Hr. He~ltt
who was then ActinE City Hanager. After sendin/ someone to the site, she emphasized that it took
16 1/2 hours to pump the water out to a belo~ dan/erous level.
in simian, Hrs. HcLean requested: (1) some type Of drain or pump to take out the
water, (2) the nme and telephone number of the person ~ho has authorization to send out a p~mp
in ttze of need, and (3) a written statement from Council as to ho~ and ~hen this problem will be
alleviated.
Hfs. Dorothy P. Holco~b, 2251 Denniston Avenue, S. ~., also appeared before Council and
reiterated the remarks of Hrs. HcLean.
~he Assistant City liana/er advised of a solution to the problem in terms of constructing
a storm drain. He said the sa~e problem exists in approximately 30 - 40 other locations in the
city and it viii require considerable capital investment in order to resolve, i~ditionally~ in
respect to pumpin/, he noted that a lar/e number of people have the sa~e proble~ when there are
extremely heavy rainston~s and the city simply does not have the capabilities to keep all of the
lo~ areas fr~m pending and flooding until such time as ~-e are able to make the capital investment
to provide storm drains.
After considerable discussion of the cc~plaintj Hr. Hubard moved that the matter be
referred to 1978-79 bud/et study to be considered along with other critical drainage problems.
It was also requested that the City Hanager co~ile a list of drainage problem areas in the city~
identify those areas that are the responsibility of the City of Roanoke, and provide a summary of
the total cost involved. Ihe motion vas seconded by Hr. ~ho~as and unanimously adopted.

citing that the membership of the Citizenst Environmental Council oppose said rezoning and the
proposed shopping ~all and urged Council to withhold an affirmative vote until several issues
have been fully studied and all facts and figures regarding this matter have been made public,
that they doubted the need for a regional shopping~a11 at this time and urged that a study be
made of this need, that they opposed the location Of the proposed mall and the way it is being
funded by peoples~ tax dollars, that they urged Council to work toward a dynamic dc~nto~a, that
a regional shopping center as proposed vii1 divert substantial business from the do~to~a area
decreasing the property values and tax revenues nc~ generated therefrom and no approval of the
Ordinances should be given until the study of do, far--Roanoke has been co~leted and the effects
of said regional shopping mall are included as a prominent element of that study, that people
have assu~ed changing the zoning of this tract of land from Light Industrial to Commercial is
zoning to a less intense land use category but the commercial use proposed by the shopping mall
is actually more intense in cer~s of concentration of people and autemobiles than a light indus-
crial classificationvould pe~nit.

factor, and that he does not understand ~hy the city should taka the citizens~ tax dollars and

Hr. T. A. Carter, representing D~uble T Corporation, appeared before Council and read
a co~nunicatdon advising that improv~nts to Hershberger Road from 1-581 to ~illiamson Road as
presently proposed, including the proposed Huff Farm underpass, and relocation of Aviation Drive,
affects their property as follows: (1) At Crandview Village the follc~ln~ will be condemned in
whole or in part (a) ten residential lots along the vest side of Crandvie~ Avenue, (b) two pieces
of cou~rcial property along Hershberger Road adjacent to Crandvie~ Vlllage; (2) At Crossroads Hall
essentially all of the land required for Hershberger ~oad videnins is to be taken fro~ Crossroads
Hall which will result in the following: (a) it destroys a portion of the ~endy's Restaurant, (b)
it elis~inates the deYelopment site they have under contracts (c) it destroys a major portion of the
Colonial-~rican Branch B~nk and renders the Balance unuseable for its intended purpose, (d) it
destroys a r. lJor portion of the Phillips 6~ Service Station site and renders the balance unuseahle
for a drive-in bank ~hich they were planning to build, (e) it eliminates approximately five per cent
of their parking spaces; (3) It provides only one left tu~n entrance and exit for Crossroads Hall
from Hershberge£ Road, such entrance and exit is a location that is most unsatisfactory for the
internal traffic o£ Crossroads; and (&) It makes it extreuely difficult for Crossroads to proceed
with its orderly plan of e. zpansion.
Hr. Carter presented a sketch of a proposed overpass at Aviation Drive ~hich ~ould peru~t
uninterrupted fl~ of traffic through Aviation Drive, ~oanoke City Fire Station, Russell Transfer,
and other industries in the airport area, and the balance of the Andrews land. He said it would
permit adequate entrance and exit to the proposed expansion of Crossroads Hall. He noted that as
could be seen fro~ the sketch, in order to permit the overpass at Aviation Drive, more study vould
have to be given to the proposed Huff Farm tn~derpa~s, and the proposed changes at Crandvf~ Avenue.
~ro Carter said that Double T Corporation is prepared to enter into an agre~ent ~th the City of
Roanoke to pay the first ~00,O00 of any cost that might accrue to the city in connection ~ith the
construction of an overpass at Aviation Drive, provided that a complete study of Hershberger Road
is z~ade in conjunction ~ith the Department Of Hig~ays, resulting in a co~prehensive plan for the
development of ~ershber~er Road, from I-~81 to ~tlll~m~on ~oad, to best serve the general public,
the airport, the gert,ns property, Crossroads F~I1, and other properties abuttin§ or adjacent to
th~$ road, and tha~ action on the proposed contracts ~ith Hersch Associates and the First ~atioual
Exchange B~nk and others be delayed until such plans can be developed.
Hr. Carter presented and elaborated on a tabulation of costs for the access road per
revised agreement versus the access road per original agreement, advising that according to hfs
calculations, it amounts to a total of $91~,0~O for the revised access road versus ~3~,62~ that
the city is obligated to spend tmder the original agreement, vhich ~eans that the city, in
executing the agreements presently before the Council, is prepared to spend $~$t,0~O in additional
money for the access road.

UN~INISHEDBUSII~S$~
HOUSI~G-$L[~i CLEA~CE-FLA~glHG-~St Council at its moating on Hondayt July 10,
1978, having deferred action on a report of the City Hanager la connection with the request of
Hr, Fred P. Bullingtoa, Partner, F & B Developers, for an exception to Resolution Ho. 23585 to
permit construction of 128 units of multi-family type housln$ to be Imovu as Lee Hy H~nor Apartments
on Stratford Park Drive, S. W.t recommendl~ that any ~odificstlon to the Cityes Housing Policy
not be Sranted, the ~atter was again before the body.
(For full text, see report on file in the City Clerk*s Office.)
Hr. Garland raised the point that t~ome~bers of Council were absent~ whereupon, the
Hayor asked Hr. Bullington if he would like to proceed with his presentation or defer the ~atter
until the next regular meeting of Counctl on~onday, August 14, 1978. Hr. gullington stated
that he had no reluctance in proceeding with the ~atter.
Hr. Bullington advised that he had received preliminary approval fro~ the Virginia
Housing Development Authority to construct 120 units of housing on Stratford Park Drive, S. ~.
He noted that t~e project would contain 80 two bedroom units and ~0 three bedroom units, and would
be a 2 1/2 story brick and frame structure. He said the land is properly zoned and there will be
city water service and county sever semite.
Hr. Bullington referred to a cor~unication from Hr. R. H. Henley, Executive Director,
City of P. oanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authoritye advisin~ that the Housing Authority has
1~28~ applications frc~ eligible people for assistance under Section 8 which substantiates
the need for the project. ~e said the 19~8 Housing Assistance Plan submitted to the Federal
Cover-~ent is the sam~ plan which was submitted in 19~ and included a project for 164 family
units. He noted that there were 138 units allocated for elderly or handicapped in the Housing
Assistance Plan, but that project was stopped by rezoning, that there was an allocation of ~8
units for rehabilitation of existing feu~ly units and that project vent into foreclosure and
there is a ne~ c~mer who does not intend to proceed through the rehabilitation program, so none
of these approximately 200 units were delivered in 1977 nor are they going to be delivered in
1978.
Hr. Bullington noted that in April 19~, Council adopted a Hesolution which said
essentially that it wanted no more family type units~ only elderly or rehabilitated units, that
in September 1977, and another tl~e since then, exceptions were granted. He said a precedent
has been set with the t~o exceptions, and that the need is proven through information~hich has
been collected. He said he was simply asking for an exception to Resolution Ho. 23586 and a
revision to the census tract map which l~ a pa~t of the Housing Assistance Plan to alloy family
type housing units.
It was established that the t~o exceptions referred to above were in the Calnsboro area
and on Old Salem Turnpike.
Hr. Thomas asked if anyone had come forth with concrete plans for housing for the elderly
in keeping with the stated plan of the Council; whereupon, the Deputy Hanager of City Planning
advised that there had been a fey requests. He said one such request was the Virginia Lutheran
Home for rezoning on Brandon Avenue, S. ~., which was denied, and representatives of the Home were
presently looking for another site. He noted that another plan had been brought to his attention,
hovever~ he was not at liberty to divulge any information.
Hr. Carland raised the question that if the need is there, he could not understand ~hy
the administration was teton=ending against the request; whereupon, the City Hanager advised
that he agreed with the policy established by the Council. As an example, he used the analogy
of a ne~ road and the construction question presently before Council, advising that if one builds
a ne~ road~ one will ult~nately fill that road vith cars, that Roanoke is the center of southwest
Virginia and every housing unit which is built in this particular category viii be gilled because
Roanoke is supplying a good portion of this type of housing for southwest Virginia.
Hr. Ewert said one of the traditions of this Co==ouwealth is to do things in mederation,
that this c=ity has nothing to be ashaaed of and this is the one place where one can go and
find~any progra=s that meet the needs of the poor and 1~ income, hut the question is, to what
extent are ye goi=g to meet the needs of the poor of southwest Virginia and that ~st have been
the issue the Council dealt with vhen it adopted the policy t~o years ago. He said there viii
always be the need, people viii always co~e to Roanoke if the housing is here, and Council =y
be assured that the housing viii continue to gro~, because ore does not have to be a resident of
Roanoke to place his or her na=e on the list for assisted housing. He said it is a very real
problem, but the question is, to what extent is Roanoke going to meet the needs of this valley
and of southwest Virginia and his suggestion vas that the City of Roanoke is ~eeting those needs
to a far greater extent than any other eom=unity in southwest Virginia. He said there are several
places such as Vinton, Roanoke County, Salem, a~d Botetourt where Hr. gullington's project could
be built. Hr. E~ert concluded bis presentation by explaining that if Roanoke City had not
shouldered as great a portion of the burden as it has, then the questton vould be clear, but
Roanoke City has shouldered its part of the responsibility and it is time for others to shoulder a
portion of the burden. He said be concurs in the Resolution of Council which is a policy of
moderation yet co=passion.
Hr. Kathy further explained the ctty*s position by advising that prior to his co~i~g
with the City of Roanoke and before the city adopted a housing program, a census was done of
actual need of lo~ income faailies and housing needs, that the census came up with a total of
1,500 units of housing need with a population of approximately 97,000 people, that the city
built 1,800 units of housing and each unit was filled, that the city additionally added 1~500

ZONING: Pursuant to i~structions of the Council, the City Clerk set a public hearing
for 7:30 p.m., On Monday, August lt, 1978, on the request of Hr° Aurich A, Voodson that property
located at 3841 Keagy Road, S. V., described as 3.19 acres, more or less, situate on the corner
of State Route t19 and £eagy Road, S. V., Official Tax No. 5130119, be rezoned from RS-l, Single-
Fa~/ly Residential District, to C-2~ General Co~x~ercial Oistrict, the ~atter ~as before the
body.
In this connection~ the City Planning Co=lesion sub~itted a vritten report reco~mendin~
that the request be denied.
(For full text~ see report on file in the City Clerk*s Office.)
Hr. Thomas noted that the City Clerk had allocated 30 ~/nutes for discussion of the
matter~ and he suggested that 15 m/nutes be alloted to the proponents and that 15 minutes be
alloted to the opponents.
Prior to beginning the discussio~ the}layor inquired as to the number of persons ia
support of the rezonint; ~hereopon~ approximately 20 persons let their presence be im~,m. Also,
the Hayor inquired as to the number of per~ons in opposition to the rezonin$; ~hereupon~ approxi~at~
&O persons let their presence bemoan.
~r. Villia~R. Rokes~ Atto~ney~ representing the petitioner, appeared before Cocmcil
in support of the request of his client. Re reviewed the geographical character of the area in
question~ and noted that the purpose of the rezoning vould be to permit the construction of a R &
Cafeteria.
Hr. Rakes pointed OUt that along ~ea~ Road beyond Hr. Voodson~s property are several
residencesj across Keasy Road is a development of medically related facilities in the City of
$alem in the island on vhlch the Le~ts Gale ~ospital is located, and to the back of the Voodson
property is the ~ed~ont Lake Snbdivislon. He noted that no home in the Subdivision could see
the property vhere the proposed cafeteria is to be located because one vould obtain access to
the fubdivision off Route 419 or off ~eagy Road vhere it co~es into a cur~eo
Hr. Rakes said the K & W people are not ney to the Roanoke Valley~ that there ds a
location at Crossroads Hall and one at Tanglevood Hall. Ne said the physical appearance of the
building vould be the same as the one at Crossroads Halls a one-story structure ~lth stone and
brick facade~ 12,000 square feet interior and parking facilities for 138 automobiles. Re pointed
out that the K & V is a family t~pe restaurants v/th a fa~/ly atmosphere~ and they do not serve
alcoholic beverages. Ne said the purchasers of the property are ~illint to have a restriction
included in the deed providing that for a period of t~enty years no alcoholic beverages ~111 be
served on the premises and that the property viii be used for a cafeteria or such use as may be
a higher use such as C-1 and residential. He stated that the business hours viii be from 11:00
a.m. to 2:15 p.=. for itmch and from &100 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for dinner and he pointed out those
hours to sho~ that the cafeteria vould not be open during the ~orning peak traffic ti~e nor
351
352
~ould it be open in the late afternoon when the C~neral Electric shift changee, He further
stated that the peak of the evening ~1 is armmd 6500 p.m.s or 6530 p.m. which is believed to
be · tLte when traffic is subsiding on Route 419.
In further rezard to the ehove referred to deed restriction, Hr. Rokee said the citizens
of the Hednont Lake Subdivision would be heneficiariee of the restriction sad vonld be permitted
to enforce it in a court of la; along with residents ~dao live alone Kz&$y Road in either the
City of Sale~ or the City of ~oanoke.
Hr. ILakes said the two principal ob]ectioue to the rezouins, ~hich have nothin8 to do
with the quality of the r & W operation, have involved the questions of increasing traffic and
to rezone this parcel would set a bad precedent insofar as other parcels of land in the City of
Roanoke alou~ Kea~y Rond. He further said the traffic question could best be analyzed by considerl~
the fact that 419 is a m~Jor highway and Kla~y Road is adequate to handle Le~te C~le Hospital
~hfch is one of the largest l~stitutions in the Roanoke Valley. He added that it is important
to note that unlike an office building where all of the e~loyeee con~ to work at 8:00 8om. 0 in
the ~orning and leave at &:OO or 5:00 p.m,s in the eveninG, there would not he this rush of
vehicles coning to the £ & W, thee during the lonch hour and dinner hour, People will be
and Going which would not have the tendency to cause the ty~e of traffic chain and congestion
that ~ould be Generated fro~ an office building or the like. He said he ~ade this point because
the City Planning Co~tssion report stated that C-1 would probably not be obJectional, whereas
C-I vonld be objectionable.
Hr. Rakes noted thee Hr, ~oodsonts property is unique because it is the only piece of
property in the City of Roanoke that is on the intersection of Route 419 and RanGy Road. He
further norad tt~t it is uniqu2 because the property is fully exposed to the intersection but is not
exposed to the residential area because there is a very heavy tree line all the way up the
border between Hr. ~oodsou*s property and the neighbor next door. He added that the R &
people have con~tted publicly to retaining all of those trees and in addition to planting lo.er
nora dense shrubbery alone the baseline of the trees as previously submitted in the site plan,
Hr. Rakes referred to a petition sl~ed by approxinately 70 persons in support of the
rezoning, and presented a further petition under date of AuGust 7, 1978, signed by approximately
22 persons within walk~nG distance of Ready Road and ~oure &19 in support of the rezoning.
(For full text, see ~tirions on file in the City Clerkts Office.)
Hr. ~akes also presented a coununication fro~ Hr. F. H. Ewald, President, D~ald-Clark,
Incorporated, who resides at 3827 Lake Drive, S, ~-t advising that as a resident of the city in
the southwest section, he could envision great benefits to him and ~any others who reside in
this part of Roanoke with the convenience of a cafeteria, that Hr. ~oodsones property is an
ideal location for such a facility since presently the other three corner properties have commercial
buildinGs~ and this addition would be an asset rather than a hinderance.
(For full text, see cmication on file in the City Clerk% Office.)
In closing, Hr. Rakes asked that Council consider the petition to rezone from two
standpoints: first~ it is a logical use of the property, nor an obnoxious, ob~ectionahle use
and, secondly, because it is fair when a person o~ns 25 per cent of an intersection to have his
property treated in a similar fashion to the way properties around him have been treated and to
not let the Jurisdictional boundaries of the political subdivision put him in a position different
than what he would be in if the City of Roanoke controlled all four of the intersections.
Hr. Ross Harc~ a resident of Hedmont Lake, and Attorney representing his neiGhborhood~
appeared before Council in opposition to the request for rezoning. He said the neighbors presently
enjoy the highest zoning classification there is, RS-l, Single-Family Residential. He further
said currently there is no commercial zoning on the east side of Route &19 between United Virginia
Branch Bank at Oak Grove, and the First National Exchange Branch at Apperson Drive.
Hr. Hart reminded Cotmcil that there is no provision for conditional zoning in the
City cf Roanoke, that if for one reason or another the property would not be developed by K &
Cafeteria, anything such as a Gas station, massage parlor, etc., could be constructed. He
noted a probl~ in regard to parking proposed by K & ~ of 139 spaces~ advising that employees
~lll take up a certain number of those spaces. For ex~ple, usinG the assumption that 25 spaces
of the 139 will be taken up by employees, that will leave 11t parking spaces, and also using the
ass~ption that it ~ill take the average customer one hour to drive in, park, have their meal
and leave, that K & ~ has a projected traffic flo~ of 166 vehicles per hour which is a 52 vehicle
per hour surplus and he questioned where those 52 vehicles are going to park if there are not
sufficient spaces in the K & I~ parkin~ lot. He co~nented that they would be parking on KeaGy Road.
Hr. Hart said Hr. Rakes stated that the traffic flo~ would not be aimed during the
rush hour. He stated that he felt differently because the effect will be to extend th~ rush
hour.
Hr. Hart noted other problems in regard to se~er and water lines~ and storm water
runoff which vi11 Go do~n KeaGy Road and drain into Cravens Creek which already has severe
flooding prch 1ems.
He said they have seen the problems that have developed on l~illia~son Road, Franklin
Road and Hardy Road in Vinton through the years, they have watched Brandon Avenue deteriorate,
and they want to prevent this from happeninG on 119 and Kenny Road. He stated that the county
is watching the city for their decision ca this rezoning which will have an effect on future
county action.
Hr. Hart said it ~as illogical for this property to be rezoned because there is ample
co~mercial space available for construction of the cafeteria within a ~ile. He noted that he was
referring to the Arlans ShoppinG Store area, and there was also property approximately one mile
away which is for sale and is already zoned C-2.
~n story, Hr, Hart said tlMy would like to keep the area residential, that parking
viii be a bis proble~, the traffic flo~ viii increase because the rush hour viii be extended,
the et*tn runof~ vii1 c~e&te problens, and the doulno effect~ vhiab is the largest objection, of
encoursgin~ a strip of co~rcial use on ~oute &19 and r~asy Road, plus the fact that there is
suitable laud available which is properly zoned.
Hr. Hart called Council°s attention to a petitionelsnedby 180 residents of the
affected area in opposition to the rezoning.
Hr. Lalph Weiuberg, 1&33 Barnhart Drive, S. W., appeared before Council and eoem2ntnd on
the eh*ti*ual aspect of the rezoning, advising that the residents slnply do not vent a restaurant
in their neighborhood. He said there is no reason to construct the cafeteria in a residential
aresj that there are other alternatives available and he specifically referred to an area on Lee
HiGhvay~hich he noted vas not in the City of Roanoke and the city would not benefit by having
the property on its tax rolls, but in view of the effect that the rezonlng~ould have on the
people in the iu~edLete area, it would be a travesty to allo~ it.
A~ far as the Woods*lite interests were concerned, Hr. ~elnberg said be agreed that
Hr. ~oodson should have a right to sell bis property and in view of the fact that he perchased
it ia 1957, he should be able to make a reasonable proflt~ however, Hr. ~codson has several
alternatives, he could sell the property for residential purposes or petition for a nunber of
things, but a restaurant would be the worse kind of situation that could be ~glned. He stated
that the issue is not a matter of trying to deny Hr. ~oodsonhis rights, but shatter of weighing
the rights of property owners versus Hr. ~oodsonJs rights.
Also appearing was Hrs. D. H. Dunville, 3722 Keagy Road, S.W. She advised that she
Iives five doors fro~ the proposed location. She explained that In the area there is presently
a hospital, a psychiatric center, office buildings and a branch bank. She said that ~hen they
were in the County, Salem did not take their desires into account at all, this time, they are in
the City of ~oanoke, the city is being fez*ned and they are lool~inS to Council for protection,
She stated that Council annexed the area and the residents are expecting the city to look after it.
She added that the residents do not want the character of their neighborhood changed and urged
that Council deny the request for rezonin~.
Since the utter had been discussed in depth, the Hayor ~sked the pleasure of Council;
~hereupon, Hr. Grove mo~ed that the Ordinance ~hich would per. it the rezoning be placed upon its
first reading. ~he ~otion was seconded by Hrs. Bowles.
Hr. l'ho~s referred to a statement that Hr. Hart previously m~de regarding conditional
zoning and asked if conditional zoning were available if there would be a mutual ~round w~erein
his constituents nlEht find the rczoning ~ore palatable; ~hereupon, Hr. Hart advised in the
negative, stating that his constituents would not vent a restaurant in their neighborhood under
any circunstances.
There was a period of discussion during which time the members of Council expressed
their individual opinions on the matter.
~r. ~homas said he regretted that the ~atter of conditional zoning was not available
to the city so that Council would be in a position to at least send the matter back to the attorneyt
to ascertain if there could be sc~e mutual grounds for agreement; whereupon, Hr. ~akes said it
was his understanding that conditional zoning for the City of Roanoke was currently under study,
that the City Attorney had made a draft of an Ordinance that the Secretary of the City Planning
Co~mission had been given authority to advertise, and in view of that, he inquired of the Chair
as to whether or not it ~ould be appropriate to table the request for rezoning for a period of
30 - &5 days during which tiao the matter of conditional zoning could be explored.
Upon question, the Assistant City Attomuey advised that Council could consider the
request of Hr. Rakes in vie~ of the fact that a vote had not been recorded on the Ordinance on
its first reading.
Hrs. Dunville spoke against the request to table the matter, advising that it was an
example of interoffice shuffling of papers, thac the Council set the public hearing for August
It and should make a decision at that tiao; whereupon, the Hayer replied that Council was governed
by rules and regulations and that Hr. Rakes could legally ask thac the matter be tabled. Hrs.
Dunville then inquired if she had the legal right to ask that the matter not be tabled, and the
~ayor replied in the affir~ative; whereupon, she requested that the matter not be tabled.
Fr. Hubard inquired of Hr. Hart as to the hardships that would be incurred by his
clients if the matter were tabled for a reasonable period of time. Hr. Hart replied that it would
be an overall inconvenience for his clients to attend a second hearins. He noted that conditional
zoning would nor eliminate the major objection ~htch vas the domino effect.
After being advised that the request legally could be tabled, Hr. Rakes formally
requested that the rezoning request be tabled u~til the matter of conditional zonins has been
considered and reported to Council.
Hr. Thomas said Council had heard the disadvantages of tabling the~arrer from Hr.
Hart and in that same vein, he inquired of Hr. Rakes as to the disadvantages of withdrawing the
petition and resubmitting it at a later date. Hr. Rakes replied that the principal disadvantage
vas that the contract with the K g W people on the property would run out and as long as the
matter is still in the breast of Council, the contract is valid awaiting a vote of Council. The
second obJecrion~uld be the length of time ir would take to file another petition and proceed
through the proper cha~nels.
Hr. Thews offered a substitute motion that the request for rezouing be tabled until
such time as Hr. Rakes requests that the matter be placed on the agenda. The motion was seconded
by Hrs. Eo~les.

Hr. Landis moved that Items 2, 3 and & of the School Board request be received and filed.
The motion was seconded by Hr. Garland.
During a discussion of the matter, Council expressed the opinion that while they are in
favor of an alternative education program, they feel it should be Included in the budget at the
beginniu~ of the year an~ should not be rushed into without proper planning~ and that once a budget
is adopted we should attempt to live within that budget.
Hr. Lewis H. Nelson, Jr., Chairman, Roanoke City School Board, appeared in support of
the requests, and explained that the $8,O00.O0 for Teacher Aide Salaries is needed to give a
small raise to these teachers as this matter vas inadvertently c~itted fro~ their budget, and the
$25,000.00 for Classified Salary Scale is needed to conduct a study of the School system positions
as they were not included in the recent study performed for the city. He further explained there
was no contingency fund in the School budget from which these funds could be appropriated.
After further discussion, Council expressing the opinion that possibly the School Board
could find funds for these requests within their budget, Hr. Landism motion was unanimously
adopted.

Gainaboro residents on Wednesday, February 21 and Thursday, February 22, 19790 at 7z30
p,n.. in the Council Ch~ber to discuss the matter iua more informal setting.
Hr. A. L. Holland, President, R.A.A.C.P., appeared before Council and read
a prepared statement advising that the N.A.A.C.P. is in agreement 9ith the City
Hanager*s basic direction, i.e., neighborhood stabilization; hoverer, Hr. Ewert*s
views on this cc~mon objective can be limited and therefor his recmeod&tions do not
address successfully their needs and desires. For this reason, he requested that the
Reverend Alfred D. Jones, the Reverend ~enneth L. wright and Hr. George R. Franklin
be permitted to present iuformtion and recommendations to Council for deliberation
on ho~ to best utilize the present funds available through the ~mity Development
Block Grant and the need to match these funds with others the city may have or will
receive.

The Reverend Alfred D. Jones, 2203 Hontauk Road, appeared before council
and stated that the Gainsboro Project should be completed as originally planned with
the original definition of rehabilitation and a comprehensive plan nd approach should
be made to rehabilitation and revitalization. He said there should be a comprehensive
plan based on a definition of rehabilitation which includes the land as well as the
business, buildings correction, or structures thereon, and an equity of that implemen-
tation as it relates to the business, d~ellings and people because it is ridiculous
to talk about constructing buildings without talking about reconstruction of people.

The Reverend Renneth B. Wright, Pastor, First ~aptist Church, Jefferson Street

that we not look over lightly the most vital factor contained within the Geinsboro

beginning of the Geinsboro ~evelop~ent Project. He presented a request of the citizens
for activity area expenditures under the Co~unity Development Block Grant funds.

Hr. George E. Franklin, Jr., 1719 Loudon Avenue, N. W., appeared before
Council and stated that the Galnshoro area offers us an opportunity to initiate the
human rehabilitatfon and habilitation aspect of the city's urban revitalization
program and provides us with a developing prototype for the effective allocation of
public resources coupled with the selective utilization of private resources and
that every aspect of the City I~nager*s stated plan and approaches can he tested,
tried, evaluated Md vorked out in Gainsboro, plus such an approach will allc~ for
the completion of this sections* total redevelopment much sooner than, if ever it
could or ~ould, by the traditional approach.
