Mr. Turner presented a summary of Case 16SN0552 and stated
the Planning Commission recommended approval and acceptance
of the proffered conditions. He further stated staff
recommended denial because the request does not address
impacts on capital facilities. He stated the applicant
submitted today a revision to Proffered Condition 1 in
response to community concerns to remove the contractor's
office, shop and storage yards as a permitted use. He noted
for the Board to consider the revision it will need to
unanimously suspend its rules in order to consider the
amendment.
In response to Mr. Mincks' question, Mr. Turner stated the
revision was received this morning.
On motion of Ms. Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
suspended its rules to allow for consideration of the
amendment.
Ayes: Elswick, Warren, Jaeckle, Holland and Gecker.
Nays: None.
Mr. Andy Scherzer, representing the applicant, stated an 80 -
unit age -restricted multifamily apartment building is

revitalization and the project, as proffered, provides a
solid basis for regeneration. He further stated the county
will have a wave of aging individuals in the future who will
need affordable housing.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public

full cash proffer. She noted the project poses no impacts on
surrounding schools or increase to traffic in the area. She
stressed the importance of affordable housing for the

Plan process in January 2014 with a team of representatives
from the community development departments. She further
stated throughout the process staff has also met with other
departments and stakeholders to help identify issues and
opportunities within the area. She noted throughout the
entire process, community members and groups in the area were
actively engaged. She stated an initial round of community
outreach occurred during the spring and summer of 2014, and
during this time staff was out in the community talking with
residents and businesses. She further stated throughout the
process, over 200 individuals provided their input and
comments. She stated staff also attended events within the
community to get the word out about the plan review process,
as well as meet with individuals and groups to get direct
feedback on the draft. She further stated this spring the
draft plan was released to the community for review and

intended to guide private redevelopment in a manner that
enhances the village atmosphere within the commercial core
that is of a high quality lasting design and compatible with

Elementary School is beneficial. He further stated there is
almost uniform support for some type of connectivity within
the village. He stated he has extreme confidence in the
Transportation Department that they will not allow an unsafe
condition or block emergency vehicles from reaching their
destination. He further stated a safe way to access the Bon
Air Community Association from Buford Road will be an asset
for the next generation. In regards to sewer connections, he
stated at some point the county as a whole is going to have
to make a decision to entice people to stay in older
neighborhoods and putting in place the utilities
infrastructure for reinvestment opportunities. He further
stated when Bon Air Elementary School was renovated there was
an immediate interest in homeownership in the area served by
the school. He stated the original first draft included
design concepts for the Bon Air Village that might have
looked similar to Short Pump than the current draft does
today. He further stated there are protections in place for
when development pressures impact pieces of property such as
those at the corner of Buford Road and Huguenot Road. He
stated the design guidelines in the plan, far from mandating
the change, actually protect the community from changes that
are not desirable. He expressed his sincere appreciation to
Ms. Simmelink and Ms. Barrar for their tremendous efforts
reaching out to the community and producing changes that were
requested.
Mr. Gecker then made a motion to approve the Bon Air Special
Area Plan.
Ms. Jaeckle concurred with Mr. Gecker relative to utilities
infrastructure needed to maintain older areas of the county.
She stated the Bon Air Special Area Plan is a gradual plan to
better the community. She further stated it is the Board's

and infrastructure to address safety concerns in areas of the
county. She stated the road roundabouts have been proven to
be more effective than 4 -way stops and will be vetted in the
future.

a
LIM
Infrastructure Report adopted in 2005. She stated the project
was identified as an implementation step in the Comprehensive
Plan adopted in 2012. She further stated many chapters of the
Comprehensive Plan identified the importance of biking,
walking and connecting neighborhoods with public facilities,
jobs and retail. She stated staff began the process of
combining the Bikeways Map and the Linear Parks and Trails
Map into one chapter in January 2014 with a team that
included Planning, Transportation, Parks and Recreation and
technical support from SportsBackers. She further stated
staff engaged the public, specifically during the planning
effort, and the public is interested in safer places to bike
and walk for both recreation and for transportation. She
stated other public engagement efforts produced the same
interest and concerns including public outreach during the
Comprehensive Plan update, special area plans, the citizen
satisfaction survey and library surveys. She further stated
in April of this year, "the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission (PRAC) held a work session and public hearing and
endorsed the chapter. She stated in response to concerns, the
Planning Commission deferred the plan and asked staff to make
appropriate changes. She further stated the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the second draft chapter
on a 4-1 vote. She then outlined the chapter and phasing
maps. In regards to implementation, she stated as with the
rest of the Comprehensive Plan, there are some projects as
outcomes of the new chapter. She further stated the most
important of them is adopting a companion ordinance that will
offer reliefs and protections to developers and landowners
who design and construct facilities as part of a development.
She noted the plan is focused on infrastructure and not
programs. She stated there is a need to educate the community
about safe driving, biking and walking behavior and various
departments and non -profits should partner to accomplish this
goal. She further stated the planning effort is not a new
effort. She stated the foundation for the plan was laid in
1989 with many other efforts and studies along the way. She
noted the Comprehensive Plan identified this as one of many
projects to implement the plan. She stated the plan is a
visioning guide and will be reviewed every five years with
the entire Comprehensive Plan. She further stated the chapter
will improve the public safety and quality of life, ensuring
that the county remains a first choice community for
businesses and residents alike. In closing, she thanked the
Board for their support and participation in the planning
process, as well as staff for their enthusiasm and expertise

In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Smith stated the
length of the project for the Reams Road sidewalk is about a
half of a mile and does not connect to any other network. He
further stated the intent of the project was for safety
reasons. He stated the total cost of the project was $9
million and was tied up in utility relocation and moving
power poles. He further stated a lot of sidewalk projects
tend to be utility relocation projects. He stated there are
currently hundreds of millions of dollars of transportation
priority needs in the county. He further stated billions of
dollars would be based upon growth to build out. He stated
the 288/360 interchange project is more of a larger scale
project and the ability to provide bikeways and pedestrian
accommodations on an interchange is fairly limited. He
further stated the county applies for as much funding as
possible, and it is an extremely competitive process. He
stated based on what is currently received, just to execute
the current projects on the Board's priority list, they are
expected to be completed in a matter of decades.
Mr. Gecker stated the plan is a good plan. He further stated
the plan is to avoid putting things where they do not belong
moving forward to prevent relocation expenses. He stated it
is a shame there is such a misconception between
comprehensive planning and the budget process.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Smith stated the
sidewalk project approved today was about $.5 million.
Mr. Gecker stated people in that particular area wanted the
ability to walk toward the library and had the plan been in
place those sidewalks would have been in place with the
development of the road instead of being retrofitted. He
further stated the increase in the vehicle registration fee
was to fund the revenue sharing for additional sidewalks in
the county. He stressed the importance of moving forward in a
cost effective way by planning to take advantage of
opportunities as they arise. He stated the bikeways and
trails plan makes sense for the future of the county in order
to provide recreational amenities to the community.
Mr. Elswick stated he supports the plan, just not as written.
He further stated if the plan moves forward he plans to work
with staff and the Board to address the issues through the
ordinance and the policies primarily dealing with eminent
domain, protecting the hunting rights of hunters and will
look at prioritizing versus phasing.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
approved the Bikeways and Trails Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Ayes: Jaeckle, Holland and Gecker.
