used by the Utility Department:
When requested in writing by the owner, the County will investigate the feasibility of
reducing the size meter serving a premise. In making this investigation, the number and type of
fixtures being used, the length and size of the service line and other factors will be considered
in determining the proper meter size. If it is determined that a smaller size meter can be
installed, the County will request a payment of $75.00 in advance to reduce the size of all
meters two (2) inches or smaller. Reducing the size of meters larger than two (2) inches will be
done at cost. If the investigation reveals that the County specified the wrong size meter ini-
tially, the County may waive or adjust the fee required to change the meter.

Mr. Meiszer presented the Board with the School Board's response to the proposed agreement for
use of the school facilities for recreational programs. Mr. Micas stated the two major differ-
ences were that 1. There would be no guarantee of a schedule and 2. The School Board would not
agree to a scheduled maintenance so as to minimize any adverse effect on recreational programs.
Mrs. Girone stated that people are looking toward the use of school facilities for recreational
programs because they, as taxpayers, are paying for the schools. She added further that with
the declining enrollments, which are anticipated for Chesterfield County in 1985 according to
the State Department of Education, people will be looking to use the facilities and not let them
be useless, that these facilities with the proper organized programs, etc. could help curb
delinquency, and further that it is usual to have contracts like this between the jurisdictiOn
and its school system and if the schools feel they need more flexibility, it can be built in.
It was generally agreed that further discussion of this matter be deferred.

Mr. Covington stated a study had been made, the recommendation was not to install the lights and

could not install lights that work at certain hours and not at others, as is done in other states.
Mr. John Burgess of the Fair Association was present and requested a time to meet and discuss
with the Board the situation of the fair buildings being renovated for office space. Mrs. Girone
stated that she had written Mr. Baicey a letter telling him of the County's plans for the fair
buildings to be renovated for office space. Mr. Burgess stated the Fair Association needed to
be located close to the grandstand, etc. because they are drawing cards for the fair. It w~s

and the Chesterifield County Airport.
Mr. Meiszer stated he had investigated the possibility of installing telephones in the parks which
because the phone company did not anticipate regular use would be about $3,000 a year for four
u~its. He stated it could be reduced to approximately $1,600 if the County would buy its own
units and pay for maintenance. There was no action taken on this matter.
Mr. O'Neill stated the Board should consider names for appointment to the Economic Development

Mr. Bookman left the meeting because of a possible conflict of interest.
The matter of awarding Sewer Contract S77-22CD for the installation of sewer to serve the Route 6£
Robious Road area again was discussed. Mr. Welchons stated he had talked with the State Water
Control Board and they will agree to have Top Proker connect to the lagoon if additional mainte-
nance work will be accomplished. Mr. Welchons suggested that the Board defer this matter until
December 14th and let the people connect so that they can have their opening on December 14th.
Mr. Micas stated there was no way the Board could promise to do something in the future without
doing it at this time. Two gentlemen, representing the Top Porker, stated they would like the
contract awarded at this time. Mr. Morris Mason, representing Stamie E. Lyttle, was present
and voiced an objection to the Board awarding this contract to the Showalter Company when they
had previously withdrawn their low bid, forfeited their bond and had resubmitted another bid for
the same contract. He stated Mr. Lyttle had given suggestions after the first bid opening which
Showalter took advantage of and resubmitted another bid which was still lower than those of other
contractors after having the opportunity to review all the facts a second time. He added this
violated the spirit of bidding and felt that Showalter was not the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr. Micas stated a forfeiture and a withdrawal were not the same thing.
Mr. Lyttle stated he had been in the construction business for 30 years and he has never seen
this done anywhere, it would be a first for Chesterfield and he can figure out alot of way~ to
get jobs if this is. approved.
Mr. Welchons stated the State Water Control Board knows the contract will be awarded but they had
agreed to a lesser time period than six or seven months but feels they will accept a little longe~
time frame. After further discussion of the matter, it was generally agreed that this matter
be deferred until later this date and that Mr. Welchons should again contact the State Water
Control Board concerning this matter.
Mr. Bookman returned to the meeting.
Mrl Mike Fiore, a representative of the Weston Environmental Consultants, was present to discuss
the Solid Waste Management/Resource Recovery Plan prepared by his agency for Chesterfield, Rich-
mond and Henrico. He gave a brief outline of the history behind the preparation'of this plan,
the market development, the costs involved, how the program would be implemented, the need for
this type of pr6gram in Chesterfield and the surrounding jurisdictions, how the refuse would be
collected, transported and disposed of, the alternatives that were available, etc. He gave some
examples of successful operations around the Country and stated some of the attempts have failed
because they lacked the proper location and adequate financing. He also stated a regional refuse
authority would be best for this area because all would share the risks, costs, benefits, etc.
Mr. O'Neill stated he felt something like this should not be decided until the annexation situa-
tion has been concluded. Mr. Fiore stated this could be done as a single purpose authority. Mr.
Apperson asked several questions'involving an aluminum market, who would take care of material
that would be hard to handle, etc. Mr. Fiore stated he did not know what the quality would be
of the aluminum' that could be processed and that as far as the hard to handle material, that
would have to be negotiated between parties.
Mrs. Girone suggested that Mr. Fiore might want to present a report to the Planning District
Commission on this matter. The Board generally agreed not to take any action at 'this time and
thanked Mr. Fiore for his presentation.
Mr. Meiszer stated this time and date had been set for a public hearing regarding musical or
entertainment festivals. There was no one in the audience present to speak to this matter.
Mr. Bookman stated he had some question regarding whose judgment it would be if the applicants
complied or not. Mrs. Girone stated this'was just a beginning since there is not an ordinance
of any type on the books and it may have to be amended later. There being no further discussion
of this matter, it was on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that the
following ordinance be adopted:
"An Ordinance to amend Chapter 4 of the Code of Chesterfield County, 1975, as amended,

In Midlothian Magisterial District, Gene Williams and Douglas Farr requested rezoning from
Residential (R-40) to Residential (R-25) District of a 96.36 acre parcel located approximately
200 feet west of Old Gun Road and lying along the west line of the City-County boundary. Tax
Map 9-2 {1) parcel 1 (Sheet 3).
Mr.'John.Smart, attorney for the applicants, stated that leaving the front portion of the property
R-40 and rezoning the remaining area to R-25 would be more than compatible with the area, that
the soil reports indicate the land is suitable for foundations and that the only feasible way to
develop this property would be to rezone it to R-25. Another gentleman was present and stated
they would widen the road tO 32' of pavement in lieu of the 18' that currently exists, the homes
will be 2,000 sq. ft. minimum and will range in price from $80,000-$115,000. He added 50% of
the surrounding properties are less than R-25, this is the only feasible way to develop the land,
the land is not productive for trees or farming, etc.
Mr. F~ed Gray, representing the opposition, stated this land was set up as R-40 at the request
of the owners some 20 years ago and nothing has happened to the land since the Board restricted
it. He introduced 40 people present in the audience who live in the area nad'who were opposed
to the rezoning. He stated further that out of the 120 owners in the area; 118 Who were con-
tacted were opposed. Col. Hancock Reed stated it has been at the expense of the owners of the
property in the area to keep this R-40 zoning but they saw what was happening on the road from
Richmond and they used the less zoning further down the road as a buffer and did not allow fur-
ther'development under R-40 zoning. Mr. Joseph Reed stated his family has owned land here since
1910 and rezoning will lower the value of their property and expecially that of the recent pur-
chasers. Mr. Ted Adams stated the schools were overcrowded, the length of the road is'hazardous,
the development would be close to the river and could be an attractive nuisance, kids will be
riding bicycles on this road which the older people will have to contend with, etc. Mr. Ron
Nowland, stated that if the road were to be widened, it would cut his yard down, in August this
rezoning was approved for 85 homes and now it is 130+ and feels it would be a breach of faith
by this Board not to honor a previous Board's decision of rezoning.
Mr. Gray read letters from two residents who were not present at the meeting opposing the
request. Mr. Gray added that the R-40 zoning at this point was the star in the crown during
annexationwhich anchored one end of the defense line, that it would be incompatible with what
currently exists, that the quality of life that the residents in the area had set up would be
destroyed, etc. Mr. Frank Butler and Mr. Charles Flamin also spoke in opposition.
Mr. Smart stated the devaluation issue was not true, that each person is permitted one home on
a lot but this should not prevent others from developing their property, that if the Board feels
R-25 is not high enough they would have less constituents in Chesterfield than currently exists,
etc.
Mrs. ~irone stated the decision of this case is based on integrity and commitment. She added
the people in the area are concerned with the quality of life they have established for the
last twenty years, it is the desire of zoning to maintain a satisfactory place for people to
live, play, etc. and that the citizens of the County have to count on something and even though
lnad use is changing, you cannot always go with change, etc. There being fo further discussion,
it was on motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Apperson, resolved that this request be denied.
Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Bookman.
