Vote: Unanimous
The Board recognized and welcome~l several Thomas Dale Hiqh Scheol
Government student~ who w..R~ ~ nresent observinq 'the Board meetinq.
Mrs. Girone stated that she would like the Board to consider
asking the Planning Commi.?~sien to hold a public hearing on an
amendment to the Zomin:~[ Ordinance relating to family day care
homes. She stated there J s an issue in Mid!othian regarding this
matter and she felt that it would become a County-wide problem
which involves mothers in subdivisions who are baby-sitting fer
other neighbors. She stated the laws in the County are more
restrictive than the S?~ate's in that the County allows three (3)
children in a 24 heur period Jn their home for day care before
requiring a Conditional Nsc P~rmit and the State allows five (5)
before requiring a license. She stated she felt the County Code
should be amended to conform ~;o the State l~w. Mr. Daniel stated
that he would like to co-sponsor this amendment as he received
considerable phone calls regarding this matter and it has been
the position of the Board to bri~g the CountV Code into
c~>nformance wi!~h the State law when possible. He stated he felt
this was more of a~',-~,]...~-.~-.~r.~.,:~r.o', measure and reco~ended the
process begin as soon as p,'}ssible to amend this ordinance becau~e
business license ta>~es are being assessed, etc. Mrs. Girone
read the proposed crdinonce. She stated the ordinance should be
S3-115
advertised simultaneously for the Planning Commission and the
Board of Supervisors which would prevent any delay. It wes
indicated by staff that April 26th would be the earliest date for
the Planning Commission to consider the matter with the
Supervisors considering it on April 27th. Mr. Daniel requested
that this public hearing be the first item of business on the
Planning Commission agenda on April 26th. Mrs. Girone stated she
felt there was some urgency in this matter because there is a
Conditional Use application pending and the applicant indicated
she would conform by reducing the number of children and defer
her case until this amendment could be considered.
On motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded bv Mr. Daniel, the Board
requested that the Planning Conm~ission hold a public hearing on
April 26, 1983 at 7:30 p.m. to consider an ordinance amending
Section 21-3 relatin~ to the definition of a child care center
and a family day care home and that this same amendment be
advertised for a public hearinq by the Board of Supervisors on
April 27, 1983 at 10:00 a.m.
Vote: Unanimous
Mr. Hedrick stated this date and time was advertised for a public
hearing to consider an ordinance reenacting Section 10-23
relating to permissible areas and times for the open burning of
leaves. Mr. Hodge stated that with the adoption of the ordinance
which prevented burning of leaves in the fall on weekends there
were significantly less complaints than when burning on weekends
was allowed. He stated there are people in favor and opposed to
leaf burning but staff feels to have both the fall and spring
laws consistent would be beneficial to all. Mr. Dodd inquired if
the Board could consider a time more restrictive during this
hearing than what was proposed. He stated the Board might want
to reduce the time limit from March 16 through May 15 since there
are less leaves in the spring. Mr'. Patterson stated that the
Board should deal only with that which was advertised and could
not make the ordinance more restrictive without readvertislng.
There was no one present in opposition to the amendment and
approximately ten people were present in favor of the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Bookman stated he was in favor of this amendment
but he hoped the Board would not attempt to change this ordipance
again next year as the original change has been in effect ]ess
than a year and it ~s already being amended.
Mr. Daniel complimented the Police Department for their
professionalism in dealing with the public who were in violation
of the ordinance. Chief Eanes stated that the number of these
types of fires were reduced in 1981-82 by 33% for which he felt
weekend restriction was partially responsible. He stated that
conformity of both the fall and spring laws will make public
notification easier and will also be a benefit to the Fire
Department. Mrs. Girone stated she felt a lot of people are also
mulching, compostinq, bagging etc. which were some of the main
objectives.
There being no more discussion, it was on motion of Mrs. Girone~
seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that the following ordinance be
adopted: ·

stated staff was preparin~ a position paper on this matter but it
is not complete at this time. Mrs. Girone stated she read that
the Highway Department would be having $100,000,000 more to spend
this year and she requested that when they improve the
intersection of Route 147 and Robious they also widen the balance
of Route 147 which could be accomplished as a single project.
Mr. ~ookman stated he was interested in the Route 360 interchange
which is the number one priority for the County. Mr. Gee stated
the Route 147 and Route 360 projects are both in the 6 Year Plan
Mrs. Girone requested that Mr. Gee obtain as much of the
$100,000,000 as is possible for Chesterfield County.
Mrs. Girone inquired when the Powhite public hearing would be

the building for the public hearing, but they were neither in
favor of nor opposed to the restriction of truck traffic.
Mr. Dodd requested that the Highws¥ Department lower the speed
limit to at least 45 mph on Harrowgate Road coming into Chester
as soon as possible ss there are numerous accidents, etc.
Mr. Dodd stated coming westbound on Route 10 turning onto Route

problem has already been considered and they are posting "no left.
turn" and "no parking" signs.
Mr. Daniel inquired when improvements would begin on Hopkins
Road. Mr. Gee stated, hopefully, around the first part of April.
He stated they are having to coordinate the signalization and
improvements as well and it depends on the equipment schedule.
Mr. Daniel requested that the Department prepare a press release
informing the public of all of the activity that is scheduled for
this area.
On motion of the Board, the Virginia Department of Highways and
Transportation was requested to install signalization or safety
improvements at the intersection of Pocoshock and Route 360.
Vote: Unanimous
Mr. Daniel inquired about the status of the siqnalization of
Belmont and Turner Road. Mr. Gee stated it did not qualify for
signalization at the time of the previous study but they plan to
restudy it this year. He stated they plan to include
improvements in this year's annual construction improvements
plan. He stated it will take place as a spot improvement to help
the intersection and if it does qualify for signalization it will
make it more appropriate to put the lanes in as widening and
straightening will be involved.
Mr. Bookman stated the Highway Department spends the County's
allocated money, but yet this Board has major safety problems and
the Highway Department will not listen. He stated he understood
the criteria aspect but the Board knows from its involvement and
experience ~n the areas when an intersection needs a light even
though it may not meet all the criteria established by the
Department. Mr. Gee stated if an area does not meet criteria
even if funds are there, the Department will not install a light.
Mr. Daniel stated he generally supported technical assessments by
staff members but sometimes the Bosrd intuitively knows what
should be done'and the ~overning body should be heard. He stated
that sometimes a certain number of deaths require a light or
other such criteria, but the Board hears of the near misses and
he felt the judgment o~ the governing body needs to take a role
in these types of matters. He stated the Board knows the
businesses, the people, the da~ly traffic, etc. involved in these
areas. Mr. Bookman stated it is frustrating for the Board when
they see things time and time again and nothing is done to
improve the areas. Mr. Gee stated the Department understands the
frustration but when certain criteria is developed to warrant
improvements, it has to be justified and the Department does not
want to do something that is not. Mr. Bookman requested that the
Board's frustration be relayed to the Department.
Mr. Bookman thanked the Department for asphalting Research Roa~.
M~s. Girone stated she was still receiving complaints on the
Research Road intersection regarding the traffic hazards and also
the lights not being timed to allow the proper flow of traffic.
She stated that Mr. Isbell had told her he was going to plan for
the timing of the lights on Route 60 to manage the traffic. Mr.
Gee stated the lights from Providence Road through Cloverleaf
Mall are on a computerized system and the timing had been
adjusted so the flow would, be more managed. He stated they are
evaluating those timings now and other adjustments may be
necessary.
Mrs. Girone stated that the Route 60 corridor is a big issue and
people are concerned about movement. She inquired if a certain
speed could be posted which would allow cars to maintain that
speed and go through all the lights.
83-123
12.A.
Mr. Gee stated this system is fully computerized with one centre
control and it monitors traffic all along Route 60 with Route 60
receiving the preferential flow but that the times for each
individual signal changes throughout the day depending on the
traffic. He stated the computer monitors all the traffic on all
roads of the system. He stated this is more sophisticated than
the other system and automatically adjusts the lights and gives
preferential treatment where it is needed. He stated for
example, Route 60 is receiving more preferential treatment in th,
morning and afternoon than at 12:00 noon. He stated the posted
speed system is to be set. for the Hopkins and Chippenham which i
similar to the Boulevard in Richmond. He stated the computerize,
system should give much better traffic flow.
Mrs. Girone inquired about the intersection of Route 60 and
Salisbury Drive and when improvements would be made. Mr. Gee
stated during April.
Mr. Bookman inquired about improvements scheduled for Elkhardt,
Providence, Salisbury, etc. Mr. Gee stated the Department is
converting all of these projects over from State forces to
contract projects.
Mr. Hedrick stated this date and time had been scheduled for a
public hearing to consider an ordinance vacating a 20 ft. alley
