they have been patient and have gone through the proper
procedures to no avail and they would like the bond that has been
posted, released so that the road can be improved and accepted
into the State Secondary System. He requested assistance from
the County in having this deplorable situation resolved.
Ms. 0'Hare-DeSeta recognized approximately 10 people who were
present in support of this effort. She shared that Mr. Slosh has
violated his own restrictions on the land that he placed on the
property owners as the road is depreciating the value of their
homes and it is the only road in the subdivision that is not
paved at this time.
Ms. Cynthia Hess stated there are nine children in the
neighborhood, £ive of which bare history of ear infections and
allergies o~ which dust is a major cause. She stated in dry
weather their road is dusty, this causes medical problems for
which the residents have to pay, when it does rain the water
stands drawing mosquitoes, etc. and opens the door for additional
sickness, etc. She stated the children do have to walk to the
school bus under unacceptable conditions which could cau~
accidents.
Mr. McEIfish stated the road is 450 ft. in length with five homes
on each side. He shared the subdivision is less than two years
old, he has contacted the developer and the Highway Department,
~t is going through the normal procedures for paving and state
acceptance, etc. He stated it. took the Highway Department seven
weeks to react and gi~e the developer a llst of improvements, the
list wa~ received October 4, 1985 which was after the deadline
the County gave the developer due ~o the fact that the Highway
85-751
Department took se long. He stated his Department has been in
contact with th~ Highway Department and the developer is in the
process Of obtaining three bids and he has indicate~ they will
have at least th~ prime coat on before winter.
Mr. Dodd inquired if one surface could be installed prior to the
next meeting. Mr. McElfish stated he could try to have the
developer place the prime coat down prior to installing the
plant mix. Be stated the road surfacing was only one item on
the'list of improvement~ needing to be addreeeed. Mr. Dodd
stated he became aware of this problem in June or July and there
had never been any problems before but he understands this
property is owned by a limited partnership and there was a legal
problem which he understands now hae been settled. ~e instructed

if the road is not surfaced, he will consider calling the bond in
order to have the paving done prior to the winter. Mr. Applegate

if the bond is called, the County will also have to let the work
out for bid. MS~ O'Hare-De~ota stated they would like action as
soon as possible because of the winter months. Mr. Applegate
explained the legal requirements for bids and how the process
works which would not allow for action to be taken any quicker.

Mr. ltedrick stated this date and time had been scheduled for a
continuation of the public hearing from the August 14, 1985
meeting. '
Mr. Applegate disclosed to the Board that he is a trust~ for
property which could be affected by the realign~nt of the road,
declared a potential conflict of interest pursuant to the
Virginia Comprehensive Conflict of Interest Act and excused
himself from the meeting.
Mr. Zook stated staff has addressed comments made at the last
meeting and he felt that the County is benefitting from these
comments and in several instances has made ehanqes as requested.
Re stated the Plan, if implemented, will recommend relocation of
Route 288; however, in the interim the staff recommends that both
alignments be shown because of the uncertainty. ~e stated the
plan will.indicate which plan is recommended by the ~ighway
Departmen~ and which is recom]~anded by the County. Mr. Daniel
stated he felt only the County recommended a]ignment for Route
288 should be indicated because people will be confused.
Mr. Zook stated there was some concern about the marketability of
three acre lots which was being shown in the very low density
residential classification. He state~ the reason for this was to
discourage devei~opment until such time ae set, er is available and
S5-753
based on the co~ments~ staff feels the map should reflect
~grieultural vacant or other classification of land use as shown
in General Plan 2000 and it should be noted that at such time as
sewer is available~ urban and suburban densities would be
allowable. He stated Chesapeake Corporation expressed concern on
this matter and staff did receive a letter that this
recommendation eliminates their concern.
Mr. Zook ~tated that the location of Route 288 is uncertain so
that recommended land use for the interchange area of Route 288
and Route 60, if and when Route 288 is extended that far, is a
difficult issue to resolve. He oxplalned that there are a lot of
variables involved such as the availability of sewer, Route 60 is
a ridge line separating two major water sheds, developer pressure
is in the area now and Owners are anxious to gain use of tho land
in the potential interchange sector area, economic development
objectives of the County suggest that high intensity and quality
uses occur in the interchange sector area, development requests
in the area without guidance will be incremental demanding land
use decisions on a parcel by parcel basis and tho County has
critical need to create a corridor for Route 288 in western
Chesterfield. He stated how we go about mapping land use in this
area may affect where the road should be in the long term. He
stated the high density development sector concept was included
in the General Plan 2000 Appendix. ~e stated the high density
development sector is an area around the interchange consistent
with topographical problems or existing developments that need to
be buffered, about two milos in total width along Route 60 within
which high intensity development would be encouraged, if planned
correctly, etc. He stated ho has attached a copy of proposed
policies guiding interchange development based on the
sector-corridor concept which he would like th~ Board to refer to
the Planning Corm~iesion. He stated that could happen absent tho
Board deferring this plan if the Beard agreed on the concept and
a supporting land use mapping plan. He stated the implementing
policies could follow, so that there was no need to delay the
plan adoption by the Board. He stated this type of concept
could help the road construction by encouraging developers to
donate right of way, etc. He stated with regard to the mapping,
there are two alternatives which work in concert with the
development sectors. ~e stated one alternative would bo to
indicate that the area in the development sector be shown for
light industrial use and the other alternative was to show the
existing uses or zoning within that area which will accommodate
the implementation of the development sector concept which is
what st~ff recommends. He stated staff recommends the second
alternative land use be shown on the plan map.
M~. Zook stated there was a concern that future interchange in
the area be designed appropriately to accommodate for growth and
development. He stated the plan identifies a tentative
configuration for the interchanges except for those in the design
process and at such time as fhe construction phase approaches and
actual design is initiated, staff will reevaluate where we are
with respect to growth and development and how best to design
those interchaDges. Mrs. Gjrone stated she had a specific
request regarding an overpass/grade separation. Mr. Zook stated
that would be accomplished at a later date. Mrs. Girone
questioned the plan with regard to access for Lake Crystal,
Runnymeade and Lucks Lane. Mr. Zook stated the interchange and
access for those areas would generally be at Courthouse Road and
that should be adequate and there could be an additional access
at Coalfield Road further to tho west. Mrs. Girone inquired
about the relocation of Old Hundred because of the church
property. Mr. McCracken stated staff will try to miss exieting
development and the church. Mrs. Gi~one inquired if that could
be indicated in the plan. Mr. Zeok stated that at such time as
the deeign is accomplished for Old Hundred Road, that the County
seek ways to a~oid disruption of the church and possibly move Old
Hundred west behind the church. Mr. Harris stated that would be
acceptable to protect the church a~d its cemetery. Mrs. Girone
requeste~ that Mr. Harris be forwarded a copy of this when it is
written.
85-754
Mrs. Girone stated there is citizen concern that' the Board may
relocate the oorrlder and it may be gone again because of the
issue of how much power the County has to reserve a corridor.
She stated, up until 1953~ the General Assembly allowed up to
seven years to reserve to keep it from developing and now it is
11 years. M~. Zook stated that some of the actions staff has
suggested include working something out with the Highway
Department that recognizes that we, as well as other
jurisdictions in the Commonwealth, have a need to maintain high
speed arterial roads but don't have the money to build them
today. He stated if the County or the Commonwealth has acquired
the property for the ultimate location of a road, it seems that
we ought to be able to retain that property until such time am we
can afford to build the road. He stated obviously large sums of
money would be spent and he did not feel any artificial
restrictions were necessary. Mrs. Girone requested that the
issue of what we can do to reserve road riqhts-of-way be brought
before the General Assembly on the legislative packet. Mr.
Daniel stated he understood from Mr. Micas that the County has
done all it can. Mr. Micas stated we can discuss it but it will
be a constitutional problem more than a statutory problem and
could be beyond the help of the General Assembly. Mr. Daniel
suggested that the staff investigate what other states are doing
in this regard.
Mr. Zook ~tated with regard to the corridors on %he map, staff
recommends that as long as the Highway Department shows and does
not remove their alignment from maps, then staff feels they may
build it there. He stated if that is so, then the Highway
Department alignment ~hould be left on the map with a description
o~ the County's position. He stated taking it off the map will
not negate the possibility that the Highway Department may
proceed on that. He stated prior to selecting an exact alignment
they will look at alternatives and at Some point in time there
will have to be aqreement as to the need to complete the belt way
in the Metropolitan area. He stated we have seen in other ar~as
of the country where highways have gone through the middle of
corm%unities with massive relocations. He stated it is not out of
the question in this case, and until it is resolved both
alignments should remain on the maps. Ms. Girone stated that
this exercise is to convince the Highway Department to take off
their recommended alignment and replace it with the County's.
She stated this proposal has to go through a review process
before their Commission can take the old line off and indicate a
new line. She stated she felt both lines should remain until the
Highway Department takes an official position regarding the road.
Mr. Daniel inquired what the County wants to do. Mrs. Girone
stated eventua'lly the County should have the old alignment off
with'the new alignment on. Mr. Daniel stated if that is tho
case, he felt the old alignment should come off because people
are confused. He stated he felt if all County maps, etc. show it
off, then you would be serving the public and showing the ~iqhway
Department where the County stands, otherwise, it will stay.
Mrs. Girone inquired if Mrs. Rudd was comfortable with the line
as proposed. Mrs. Grasewicz showed Mrs. Rudd the proposed line.
Mrs. Rudd indicated she was in agreement.
Mr. Zoo9 stated this is the County's plan and that i~ what staff
will pursue if it is approved by the Board. He stated prior to
any roa~ location decision being made, there wilI be an
additional study made and the Highway Department will probably
look at several alternatives. He stated this plan is subject to
change based on results of future ~etailed studies~ environmental
assessments and public hearings that will be conducted by the
Highway Department.
Mr. Zook stated staf~ recommends the changes outlined at the
previous public hearing and the two changes with respect to the
elimination of the low density ~e$idontial category and the use
of agricultural vacant or other category with a note that when
sewer is available, urban/suburban development i~ intended, and
the preferred"alternative for Route 60/28S interchange. He
852755
further stated that the Beard could act on the plan thio evening
and refer back to the Commission the question of the specific
policies for the development sector cnncept and in the interim
they will be used with respect to any development that may come
in between now and when the Planning Commission could get back to
the Board.
Mr, John Smith stated he felt there were things that had not been
considered, one being the reluctance of the Highway Department to
obliterate the existing Route 288 line and urged the County to
wait to a later date to put a new line on the map. He stated
there is a great deal of money invested on the old Route 288
line. He stated he felt someone should check to see if the funds
could be transferred from the old line to the new. He Stated
neither line will be constructed until there are funds available.
He stated if the line is continually pushed further and further
west, it may not be a circumferential any longer.
Mrs. ~arbara Rowe, a resident of Walton Park, stated the
residents in Walton Park support the Kellerco proposal which
calls for the Route 288 to be leos%ed f~rther west. She
requested that the County support this proposal and not leave the
existing line on the map.
There was no one else present to address the matter.
Mr. Daniel stated he felt proper resolutions should be developed
to remove the existing line from the map.
Mrs. Girone stated there were several reasons for this exercise
which deal with where Powhite is going, where Route 288 is going
but the main purpose of this is to remove the old line off the
map. She stated, however, the Highway Commission must vote to
take it off and whether the County takes if off or not, if they
don't, it is Still on. She stated we are beginning the process
to have the line taken off and move it further west. She stated
the I{ighway Commies'ion has to consider this which they have not
indicated they will or will not do. She stated she has met with
a board men~ber each from Powhstan and Goochland in an effort to
obtain their support as well. She stated approval of this action
would then requeet the Righway Department to consider it and held
the necessary public hearings, etc. ~he stated she felt it would
be unwise for the County to erase the line when it does not have
the authority to do so.
On motion of Mrs.. Girone, seconded by Mr. Daniel, the Board
adapted the Land Use and Transportation Plan for the Powhite/288
Development Area with recommended changes as a revision to the
General Plan 2000.
Ayes: Mr. Mayas, Mr. Daniel, Mr. Dodd and Mrs. Girone.
Absent: Mr. Appiegate.
Mr. Applegate returned to the meeting.
11. PUBLIC H~%RINGS
ll.A. PROHIBITION OF THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC O}~ SALISBURY ROAD
Mr. Hedrick stated this date and time had been advertised for a
public hearing to consider the prohibition of any truck or truck
and trailer or sem~-trailer combination, except a pick-up or
panel truck from using Salisbury Road between Winterfield Road
and Robious Road. Mr. MeCracken stated the development along the
corridor is predominantly residential and staff recommends
approval of the restriction. Mrs. Joyce Hackett and Mrs. Phillips
were present in favor of the restriction although they did not
speak. There was no epp0sition present.
On motion of Mrs'. Girone, seconded by Mr. Daniel, the Beard
adopted ~he following resolution:
Whereas, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors has
received requests from citizens to restrict through truck traffic
on Salisbury Road (Route 902) from Winterfield l~Oad (Roube 714)
to Robious Road (Route 711) by any truck Or truck and trailer Or
semi-trailer combination except pick up or panel trucks; and
Whereas, the Beard has conducted e public hearing on the
question.
Now~ Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors
requests the Virginia Department of ~Iighways and Transportation t
restrict through truck traffic on Salisbury Road from Winterfield
Road to Robious Road.
Vote: Unanimous
ll.B. CONSIDER REPEAL OF RESTRICTION OF TRUCK TRAFFIC ON WARBRO
Mr. Hedriok stated this date and time had been advertised for a
public hearing to consider the repeal of Section i4.i-21.1 of the
Code of the County relating te the restriction of truck traffic c
a portion of Wsrbro Read between Genito Road and the northern are
landfill. Mr. McCracken stated from a transportation aspect this
would be beneficial, however, the existing Warbro Read ~S not
constructed to standards which san withstand~ the truck traffic at
this time. He stated if thc Beard selected Warbro Road as a
rural additional project, it is possible that the state could
make improvements to the road which would eliminate the need for
the restriction. Me stated the Board may want to defer this
matter until a decision is made on rural addition projects. M~.
Dodd inquired when the decision would be made. Mr. McCracksn
stated the list Of possible projects should be brought to the
Board by staff within 30 days and then it would take the Highway
CoEunission approximately 2 months to approve the project.
Mr. Dick Rose, whose business is located on Warbro Road, stated
his trucks use Warbro Read to Route 360 and they make
approximately lOG e×its and entrances Onto Route 360 each day.
He stated if they could use the portion of Warbro Read to ~enito
Road which is currently restricted to through truck traffic it
would reduce that amount in half. He stated there are other
businesses in the area who have at least several hundred
entrances and exits onto Route 360 as well. He stated there is a
lot of traffic on Route 360 at this time and this is a dangerous
intersection. He stated there is only one-half mile which cannot
be used at this time as it would eliminate the possibility of
serious accidents. He stated other property owners would like tc
locate businesses in this area but have been denied ~ecauae of
trucks that might be used in the area. He requested the repeal
of this section of the Code. Mr. App!egate inquired if Mr. Rose
would contribute to the cost of the road improvements. Mr. Rose
indicated he would fill the pot holes until the road was accepted
into the State System.
Mr. Vernon LaPrade, representing Mr. David Woodfia who is a
property owner al~ng Warbre Road, stated his client is unable to
use his property because of the truck restriction. He agreed
there e~ists a safety hazard on Route 360 and requested that the
restriction be removed as quickly as possible.
There was no opposition present.
Mr. Dodd stated he did net know of a more pressing rural addition
project than Warbro Road and he concurred with the removal of the
restriction. Mr. App]egate stated the road would have to be
brought up to S~ate standards. Mr. McCracken stated th~£e are
rural additional funds which could be used. He stated the Count'
should receive $150,000 and nhe estimate ~or this project is
$95,000. Mrs~ Girone state~ she is in favor of this pro,eot but
there is another situation on Claypo]nt Road involving
approximately I0 f~milies living on a road that is not
accepted into the State System. Mr. Mayas stated he felt the
residential area needed attention first because there are ten
families with children, school buses cannot get down the road,
emergency vehicles, etc. Mrl Applegate stated he understood thai
the Route 288 right-of-way comes into consideration in this area
and the road will have to be reconstructed to the east. Mr.
MoCraeken sta~ed part of the right-of-way for the road has been
acquired with the Route 288 project but there would still be a
gap and the grade would probably have to be raised. Mr. Mayas
inquired about what the property owners were interested in having
done on the road situation and what the cost would be. Mr.
McCracken stated they want to go from Claypoint Road back to
where it would tie into their access road. He stated he did not
feel there would be sufficient funds to do both projects. He
stated if we built the road at this time we would have to tie it
into existing Claypoint Road which would be relocated with Route
288. Mr, Mayas inquired what Mr. McCracken would recommend. Mr.
McCracken stated with the Warbro Road situation, the County will
probably not have to spend any County funds since the right of
way has already been acquired, no easements are involved, etc.
and Would be State funds. He stated if we have to acquire right-
of-way for Claypoint Road, it would be several months in
obtaining the right-of-way and by that time additional money
could be set up for that project. Mr. Mayes inquired if money
could be set aside for the Claypoint project. Mr. McCracken
stated if the Board desired, there would be approximately $60,000
from the rural addition funds remaining after the Warbro Road
project was co~pleted.
Mr. Daniel stated that the issu~ before the Board is whether or
not to repeal the restriction of truck traffic on Warbro Road and
not the use of rural addition funds. Be stated the Board could
decide to repeal the issue today and then another more pressing
road situation could arise. Mr. Dedd stated that there is a
dangerous situation on Route 360 now, there is industrial
property which cannot be used, etc. He stated this road should
have been constructed years ago. Mr, Daniel stated he felt the
single issue of repealing the restriction should be dealt with
today and the funding issue can be discussed at the appropriate
time. Mr. Hedrick inquired if the estimate has risen from
$20,000 to $95,000. Mr. McCracken stated that was the Highway
Department's estimate. Mrs. Girone stated that if the road is
not improved after it is opened, there will be worse conditions
with erosion, etc. Mr. Mayas stated he felt the rural addition
funds should be used for the improvement of Claypoint Road since
the funds were spent in another district last year. Mr, Daniel
stated that if the Board r~peals the truck traffic and/or
allocates the money for the projece will any time be saved. Mr.
MoCracken stated it would save approxi~ateiy two weeks. Mr.
Daniel stated he felt the Board s~lu~uld handle this matter in an
orderly approach. Mr. Dodd stated he felt the Board should
consider the people's convenience in th~s matter. Mr. Mayas
stated he could support the repealing of the restriction as well
as appropriating money to improve Claypoint Road with rural
addition funds as Mr. Rose has indicated he wi]! fill the pot
holes on Warbro Road until the State accepts it into the system.
Mr. Dan~e! stated there ig no paper on the rural additions and
the Board would not be acting in an orderly manner. Mr.
Applegate state~ because right of way is needed, etc. the money
could not be spent at this time ~or Claypoint even if it were
approved. Mr. McCracken stated that the Highway Department will
insist that the right-of-way and utilities adjustments be
provided at someone elses cost and it will t~ke some time on the
Claypoint Road project ~o have everything in order.
Mr. Micas stated the Board really has only 'the single issue of
the repeal of the ordinance. Re stated ~c consider any other
issue, the Board wou].d have to unanimously suepend the rules.
On motion of Mrs. ~irone, ~ecended by Mr. Daniel, thc Board
deferred fo~ two weeks consideration of 'the repeal of thm
P, 5-758
reetriotion of truck traffic on Warbro Road at which time the
staff will present the Board with priorities for praposed rural
addition projects.
Mr, Applegate stated staff may be able to bring back the proposed
projects but costs oannot be obtained by that time. He stated he
felt the ordinance should be ~epealed and how it is brouqht up to
state standards is another issue.
Ayes: Mr. Mayas, Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Girone.
Nays: Mr. Applegate and Mr. Dodd.
12. NEW BUSINESS
.A. CONS DBRATION OF PROPOSED WATER POLICY LEGISLATION
~. Daniel stated that the Richmond Regional Planning District
Commission (RRPDC) will be meeting on October 10, 1985 and will
bo discussing five water items which could have far-reaching
impacts on local jurisdictions. He stated he felt the Board
should take a position prior to the RRPDC meeting, He presented
the five issues which were:
The Virginia Water Withdrawal Aet~
An Amendment Pertaining to Water Use Reporting Exemption
for Crop Irrigation;
Amendments te the Groundwater Act;
An Amendment Pertaining to Standards for Well Construction;
and
5. An ~sendment Pertaining to the Power of Hminent Domain.
Mr. Daniel stated he felt the Board should oppose issue %1 at thi:
time and discuss the others. Mrs. ~irone stated this is the
subject of the Committee that she chairs. She added the General
Assembly asked the State Water Study Commission to make
reco~endations which are those ~ntioned above. She stated the
State Wate~ CoDtro1 Board is saying ~on't get upset as they will
have their own proposal. She stated that this is not the State
Water Control Board who i~ proposing the five actions. She
stated the first issue has far-reaching impacts on Virginia's
growth because if this were to go into effect, the State Water
Control Board could control growth in a watershed merely by
allowing or not allowing someone to have water. She stated this
would have a tremendous impact on the Con~nonwealth and would
result in suits to acquire reservoir sites, She stated she
recommended the Board opposed this issue. She reviewed and
explained the other four issues wlnich she recommended the Board
and the Commission defer action or until the State Water Control
Board furnished a~ditional information as they are complicated
and need additional review. Mr. Daniel stated he agreed that the
Board should at least oppose ~! as written and intended because
it is not in the County's interest or the City of Richmond's
interest. He stated he fclt thi¢ is s ].epislative back door to
attempt to reallocate water resources to Support political
decisions that allow for economic grew~h in areas that may not be
needed. Mrs, Girone agreed that the farmers are very concerned
that if there is a transfer of water the focus would be on
economic development and forget them. Mr. Daniel stated the
other issues could be deferred for further information to be
received.
On motion of Mr, Daniel, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board
hereby opposes the Virginia Water Withdrawal Act and defers
judgment on issues #2-#5 until additional information is provided
by the State Water Control Board and/or other appropriate
associations and strongly ~eco~ends ~:hat the Richmond Regional
Planning District Commission take similar action.
Vote: Unanimous
'J5-759
Mr. ~edrick stated that as these issues are considered, staff
will have some comments and recommendations and possibly could be
included in the legislative packet. Mrs. Girone stated their
committee will also have some comments°
12.B. CONT93kCT FOR PROPERTY CASUALTY AND LIABILITY SERVICES
Mr. Modge stated that with the renewal of the County's insurance
program~ the County assumed some higher deductibles and some
additional paper work previously handled by the insurance
companies in an effort to save approximately $350,000 in
insurance premiums. Ma stated to assist with the paper work
of claims assessments, reporting, etc., staff recommends that
Yeager and Company be employed. He stated no additional funds
are necessary for this contract. Mr. Dodd questioned the ability
of the Risk Manager to accomplish this work. Mr. Eodge stated
thare is clerical work, adjustment of claims, etc. that needs to
be accomplished and it would be less expensive to enter into the
contract than to hire staff. Mr. Applegate inquired what the
cost would be for the second and third years if the first is
$25,000. Mr. Bodge stated he felt the increase would be so more
than $25,000 plus 10% for the second year and $27,500 plus 10%
the third year.
After further discussion, it was on motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded
by Mr. Applegate, resolved that the Beard approve the request to
enter into a three year contract with Yeagsr and Company with
costs not to exceed the amount of $25,000 for the first year,
$27,500 for ihs second and $30,250 for the third year and further
that the County Administrator be authorized to execute any
necessary documents upon approval as to form by the County
Attorney.
Mr, Bedrick stated that the County is not mandated to renew the
contract each year if there is no reason to do so. Mr. Eodge
stated the County is also looking at the VML insurance programs,
other alternatives, etc. Be stated Yeager has assisted the
County in the past.

12.D.4. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING NONCONFOR~ING USES
Mr. Zook stated the Board had requested the Planning Commission
to look into the question of amending the Zoning Ordinance to
permit non-conforming mobile homes to be placed on parcels of
land that are zoned residentially other than the R-7
classification. He stated the ordinance currently allows the
Board of Supervisors to renew permits in the R-7 zoning district
with the Board of Zoning Appeals addressing permits in the
Agricultural districts. He stated the Planning Commission has
held a public hearing on the matter~ there was no one present to
~peak to the issue and the Planning Commission recommended that
the ordinance not be adopted. He stated staff feels there are
other ways to address the issue of non-conforming mobile homes,
such as conditional uses, etc. Mr. Dodd stated that in his
