(2) That §§10-18, 10-19 and 10-20 of the Code of the County of Chesterfield are hereby repealed. Ayes: Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Dodd. Mr. Micas states the Code of Virginia allows the County to request that the State HighwayCon~nis- sion close certain streets within the County to through truck traffic. Basically, on the request of certain citizens the Board has set a public hearing to hear public conments Onwhether it is advisable for the Board of Supervisors to request the State Highway Conmission to close Pinetta Drive to through truck or trailer or semi-trailer combirmtions. This would not preclude the use of PinettaDrive for non-through truck traffic. The alternate suggested route which the Board of Supervisors hms suggested is Buford Road from Route 60 r~ning northerly to PinettaDrive. If the State tiighway Commission considered this resolution and took the Board of Supervisors reconmendation, they would then place signs at the beginning of Pinetta Drive stating that it was not permissable to use tbat road for through truck traffic. The State could then enforce that prohibition. Mrs. Girone states: Members of the Board, this requast is in answer to ninny citizens who live on Pinetta Drive and also citizens who live in Brighton Green. I might just say that with the further development of Route 60, the apartments across the way and the Safeway coming in at the top of Pinetta Drive, the traffic on Pinetta is almost intolerable now. It increases every day. The car traff%c is a~ 25 mile per hour zone. They do speed down there; we do have a standing request with the Police Departmmnt to put the radar in there whenever they can do it. They have been very good about that. However, the truck traffic has increased daily and I think probably the coming of Safeway has had something to do with it because they do have another Safeway down in Bon Air and it is probably the most direct route between the two stores. However, it is not only Safeway, it is many other trucking companies and businesses with heavy trucks going down Pinetta Drive. There is a c~a~mity ~ pool on Pinetta. The children in Brighton Green walk on Pinetta to go to the sw~ pool. There are about 75 houses on Pinetta Drive and most have young children that are out on the road or walking along side of the road. It is just a very dangerous situation; it is getting worse daily and all we can see for the future is tbat it will continue to get worse. I have fourteen letters from residents of Pinetta and Brighton Green and one with sonm pictures of an accident that occurred where a car came across the lawn and knocked do,an a tree. The Brighton Green Connmnity Association has subr0it~ed petitions with 452 names and all of those people live in Brighton Green or on Pinetta. Is there anyone here to speak in favor of this proposal. Mr. Bookman: Madam Chairman, may I clarify a point. Mr. Bookman asked Mr. Micas if this was for %. ton trucks. Mr. Micas stated the Statute does not set any weight limits for the types of trucks Ail it says is that pickup and panel trucks are permitted to continue the use of Pinetta. Trailer semi-trailers~ truck-trailer combinations are probhibited. Mr. Bookman asked Mr. Micas if 3/4 ton included a pickup. You have many people who drive 3/4 ton trucks in place of 1/2 ton trucks today which are single axle. Mr. Micas stated he thinks that is permitted. Mr. Bookman asked if any single axle available be defined as that. Mr. Micas: No, as along as it is 3/4 ton and one axle, I think that would be a pickup truck. Mr. Bookman asked about a ton with one axle stating he is trying to pin down something, some people in there certainly have 3/4 ton trucks you can alnmst bet that live in the area that go through there to go to Bon Air. Mr. Micas states this is a typical pic~ truck, typical configuration then I think it's going to be permitted. Mr. Apper- son states this is for through traffic, somebody who owns one can drive to their residence without any problems. Mrs. Girone states of course service trucks, oil trucks delivering oil to a home, any of that can continue on or Miller & Rhoads making a delivery into Brighton Green can con~e in, isn't that correct Mr. Micas. Mr. Micas states that's correct. Mrs. Girone states this is for just through truck traffic. People who have no business in there that are just using it as an expressway would be prohibited. Mrs. Girone states she neglected to mention that one lady did call who she lives on the corner of Reddington and didn't known why we are bothering with~this. She felt that there weren't enough trucks to be concerned with. Mrs. Girone states this is just 1 out of 477. I did tell Mrs. Alice Smith that if she could not come down I v~uld mention her cormmnts. Mrs Girone asks if there is someone hear to speak. Mr. W. R. Williams of 517 N. Pinetta Drive states he can't add too much more to what Mrs. Girone has outlined concerning the traffic conditions on Pinetta. The County Police Department has done, in my judgemmnt, an outstanding job with the number of people they have available to patrol there, but I think all of us are aware you can't have one police officer per truck nor one police officer per car. When you look at that road, you find that the ditch lines are not near so wide as the one over on Buford Road. I have lived in this connm~ity for over 2 years now and the truck traffic has certainly increased as Mrs. Girone said daily since I moved here. Safeway was a contributing factor to it. VEPCO has contributed also because VEPCO trucks leaving VEPCO cut through and as you leave for work in the morning, you meet them going back and forth and in the afternoon they come back to. the plant. There had been some contractor trucks last stm~mer that came through there and the fact of the matter is really there is just not enough room for two trucks to operate on this narrow street.. As you pointed out, it is a 25 mph zone which is far different from Buford. I believe Buford is 45 mph. I would be happy to answer any questions any- one may have concerning the activity I have observed on this road. Mrs. Girone asks if there are any questions. Mr. Bookman asks Mr. Covington if Pinetta in fact is it Wider than Buford or is it not. Mr. Covington states portions of it are. Mr. Booknmn asks if the subdivision part is in the old 50' right-of-way standards. Mr. Covington states yes. ~rs. Girone states we have a connmnt coming. Mrs. Girone thanks Mr. Williams. Mr. Dwight Wood of 709 N. Pinetta states I don't think we have nmntioned we have a narrow wooden bridge that we have to pass, plus several curves and the newer part near Rt. 60 is wide but when you say the whole road you give a 'false impression. It is narrow and winding and unsafe to go any speed over 25. Our houses are designed that we have to back into our driveways and with .the t.raffic, it is almost impossible to back into your own driveway or leave your driveway. This is quzte a hazard there. Whereas, Buford is designed where the houses have tturnaround driveways and they don't have that problem. We do have the problems of trying to get in and out of our driveways. Mrs. Girone states most of the lots on Buford are deep and have acreage. Mr. Wood states these houses were built as if it were a residential street, which it orginally was when we moved in, but it didn't cut through. I was at home several days last week and there were construction trucks cutting through traveling at a high rate of speed and every time they went through, they would tear up the edges of the road. This road was built with a very thin asphalt layer and a few years back another coat was added. It does not have any base whatsoever to take care of the traffic. I think we should consider that; although portions might be wide, it wasn't built to carry the heavy traffic. Mrs. Girone thanks ~r. kbod and asks if there is anyone else to speak. Mr. Jack Scherer, the President of the Brighton Green C~ty Association states he can only reemp~asize the words Mrs. Girone has spoken. We are not just concerned with truck traffic on Pinetta, it's the entire traffic pict~are along there. We feel that we are endangering the children and adults in that area when we travel on that road and if we can get this new truck route it will be an improvement. It will be something that we are able to do to protect our children and residents of Brighton Green. AS far as the road being wide or not wide, just this past Sunday, we bad a sideswipe on one of the curves on Pinetta. It is narrow. Mrs. Girone thanks Mr. Scherer. Mr. J. R. Stewart of Pinetta Drive states he has lived there for 18 years. Someone said a few minutes ago that at one time Pinetta did not go through. That is false. It bas gone through from Route 60 to Buford for at least 25 years to may knowledge. True, it was not paved and for a number of years the last 250-300 yards was not paved. That is the nearest to the Rt. 60 area. Today, I saw no less th=xn a dozen pickup trucks that were not residents and if you counted traffic both ways, they are many days there will be as many as 100-150 pickup trucks and vans that are through traffic that go through there. I saw six pickup trucks from VEPCO today going both ways and I don' t know how many additional crees went through there. I saw no heavy trucks from VEPCO but I did see several trucks of gravel which are the 2 and 3 yard type trucks and as you know the paving there is not designed to handle that kind of load~ I ~ould suggest that if it is any way possible that we exclude all through traffic whether it be an automobile, pickup truck, anything with the exception of an emergency type vehicle such as fire engines, or ambulance. I believe that would do n~re to cut down our traffic problems. I see no reason ?hy automobiles from a surrounding area should use Pinetta to save maybe a block or two between their homes and town. Mrs. Girone thanks Mr. Stewart. ~lrs. Girone states you realize Mr. Stewart that pickup trucks and panel trucks will still continue to be on the road under this ordinance, b~. Stewart states yes, but we could change it I presume to exclude all r~hrough traffic and it wouldn't be too nuah of a problem to strike out a few words. Mrs. Girone states she just wants to be sure he knew what was written in this ordinance. ~r. ~iicas states to Mr. Stewart that the State law does not allow the County to prohibit pickup, panel trucks or other through traffic. A lady in the audience inquires about con~mrcial traffic not just your pickups, but your Vepco · cars and telephone trucks and not private owned vehicles. !lt. Stewart states that is essentially what I was going to say, the difference between conmercial and recreational vehicles. ~ That's where we need a better clarification with our pickup trucks, whether it is used for recreational, co~mrcial or mere transportation purposes. Mr. Micas states the same problem is there. Keep in mind that these really aren't CoUnty roads; they are State roads. Mr. Covington can respond to this,' but the State Statute does not allow us to prohibit connmrcial traffic and allow non- c~mrcial traffic. The only thing this Board can prohibit is through semi-trailer, and those kinds of heavy trucks. The lady asks if there is any way to discourage this conmercial traffic, such as four-way stops at intersections. }~. O'Neill states it sounds as if your biggest problem is with VEPCO and suggests she contact someone at VEPCO because they don't want their employees causing neigPJ~orhood problems and maybe they can cooperate within their own business. The lady states they bave called VEPCO and asked them if they would please ask all drivers that use Pinetta to drive 25 mph. Some of them have cooperated beautifully, but that's about 1 out of 14 men that drive down the street. We have called the president of the Trane Air Condi- tioning asking him to please ask their drivers to observe the 25 mph zone. They have been told there is a radar trap in there and it would be to their advantage to slow down. There is some cooperation, but not to the extent that it is safe. Mr. O'Neill states the problem here is you're dealing with a lot of different individuals. The lady states there are problems with vibrations f~rom t~he street. ~.~rs. Girone states Jerry Headiey is the area manager for VEPCO on the southside of the river, lives in Woodmont and she will write him a letter, b~. Ritz states the new area manager is Mr. Heaver. ~. Bookmmn asks }~r. Ritz how Pinetta is designated. }~r. Ritz states collector streets. I~rs. Girone asks if there is anyone else who wishes to speak for this ordinance. Is there anyone opposed to tlzis proposal? No one was present to speak in opposition. Mrs. Girone states that she would like to move that this Board of Supervisors respectfully requests the ~Iighway Conmission to prohibit through traffic for any truck, or truck and trailer or' semi-trailer combination except a pickup truck or panel truck from using that portion of Pinetta Drive beginning at Rt. 60 and running northerly to Buford Road. The alternative route suggested for throug~h truck traffic is Buford Road beginning at Route 60 and running northerly to Pinetta. ~rs. Girone asks if there is a second to the motion. Mr. Bookman seconds the motion. Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson, I.~r. Bookman and ~@. Dodd. Mr. Bookman states he wonders if by voting if we are opening a large door here. Mrs. Girone states we have done this before. Ik. Covington states the Highway Department will conduct their public hearing for the same thing. We will have to hold a public hearing same as the Board of Supervisors and then make their reconmendations to the Highway Co~2ssion. Mrs. Girone asks if it would be useful to have these petitions, llr. Covington asks they be sent over with the resolution and your minutes and will be incorporated in with our meeting after we have said everything on this matter. Mrs. Girone asks if these people in favor of this will have to ~sign another petition. Mr. Covington states no, these will suffice. I~s. Girone states she appreciates all the work and everybody coming out and will let them know when the Highway Department schedules their hearing. On motion of ~r. Apperson, seconded by Mrs. Girone, it is hereby resolved that the following people be appointed to the Board of Appeals for the Uniform Statewide Building Code and same people to be reimbursed for their time at a rate of $20 per hour for the term as indicated: Mr. William Prosise, Jr. - 5 years Mr. John Taylor · 4 years Mr. David J~ Cart 3 years ~r.
