1. WORK SESSION
lA. Capital Improvement Program
Mr. Ramsey stated the proposed Capital Improvement Program is
the result of several months work with various departments and
agencies around the County, including the School
Administration.
Mr. Sale stated staff is proposing a Utilities Capital
Improvement Program of approximately $125,000,000 over the
next six years. He stated the program builds on the previous
CIP that the Board has already adopted as well as the master
plans for sewer and water. He stated some of the projects are
advanced in timing than what was in the master plans because
the accelerated growth that the County is experiencing was not
anticipated. He presented a map outlining the general area of
the projects for water and sewer improvements. He gave the
Board a brief overview of some of the water and sewer projects
proposed. He added that the Board has also deferred
consideration of the financing of the Upper Swift Creek
Transport System until this date. Mr. Daniel stated there is
also the matter of the rate structure and inquired if the rate
structure considers all of this as well as the CIP, if it will
then give the rate which will be necessary. Mr. Sale stated
that was correct and the proposed financing for the program
does assume that the rates that are in effect currently plus
the assumed increase over the next two years will take place,
there is anticipated revenue bonds in 1989 for water and sewer
in 1990, there would have to be a look at what changes might be
needed for operations as well as the CIP, etc.
Mrs. Girone inquired if the County decided to do a sewer
district in several locations, who would do the work. Mr. Sale
indicated it would be done in-house. Mr. Dodd inquired what
the timing was for the Swift Creek project and the 295 project.
Mr. Sale stated the Swift Creek Project should be underway by
spring, 1988. Mr. Welchons stated the 295 project has some
funding but there is some concern as there are two lines and
there are considerations such as developer participation,
development progress, etc. Mr. Dodd stated he felt these two
projects should be constructed in conjunction with each other,
or at least the engineering. Mr. Welchons presented the Board
with a list of the proposed projects and the year in which the
project is anticipated.
Mr. Daniel inquired if the Board did nothing but agree to the
1987-88 CIP plan, which is within the existing rate structure
which has already been agreed to and are living by, will funds
cover that which is planned. Mr. Welchons stated that was
correct. Mr. Ramsey stated that includes the adjustments for
July. Mr. Welchons stated that when the Board considers the
CIP for 1988-89 and future years, then some decisions will have
to be made. He stated the County has taken care of funding all
the items under the 1987-88 column. Mr. Daniel stated next
year the Board will have to decide on projects to be
accomplished, what rates it will take to fund it, and if they
are not in concert with each other, adjustments will have to be
made.
Mr. Dodd stated if the Board could authorize the Proctors Creek
outfall in conjunction with the Meadowville trunk and do the
engineering, it will eliminate the critical problem. Mr.
Welchons stated those items are listed and some of the funds
for the Proctors Creek outfall were in the present CIP and some
of the design has been started. Mr. Dodd stated if you look at
the Ashton Creek Pump Station, Johnson Creek Pump Station, etc.
they are all scheduled for 1990-92 and he felt the impact of
295 which will all tie together, etc. which is five years away
and 295 will be open next fall and this may have to be moved up
in-scheduling. Mr. Sale stated this CIP will be reviewed and
can be revised annually and will take into consideration
changing conditions. Mr. Daniel inquired when the rate study
would be completed. Mr. Welchons stated approximately
November. He stated the CIP, the budget and the rates are all
to be tied together. He stated it is important to remember
that the Board approved a CIP last year and the first year of
the capital budget was funded and there are some slight
adjustments on those projects and it is important that the
programs be monitored and adjusted as necessary. Mr. Dodd
stated as long as the engineering for Meadowville is to be done
which staff indicated will be, he is in agreement.
87-435
Mr. Mayes stated the water problems in Physic Hill have been
planned for but inquired if there are anticipated to be any
sewer problems. Mr. Welchons stated he was not aware of any
sewer problems. Mr. Mayes stated he felt a study should be
made as to what will happen as far as septic tanks are
concerned. He requested that the study be done for this
particular area as well as the surrounding area due to possible
problems, existing problems and growth.
Mr. Mayes stated a water line is planned from the Appomattox
for anticipated needs and there is expected to be donated
approximately 400 acres of land but which will need sewer. He
inquired if any consideration in the CIP had been given. He
stated if the donation becomes a reality, developers will take
advantage of the recreational area which will attract
development. He stated he felt it would be feasible now to
begin a study of what the requirements would be instead of
waiting. Mr. Sale stated that could be incorporated into the
CIP. Mr. Mayes stated he felt this was very important for this
area of the County. Mrs. Girone inquired about the
responsibility of the developer. Mr. Mayes stated the
development of the county has been developer-driven and he felt
the Board should decide how it wants the county developed.
Mrs. Girone stated the person donating the land will be
developing a subdivision and she did not feel the County should
pay for the water and sewer as the park land will not need
water and sewer. Mr. Mayes stated he felt if someone were to
donate 400 acres of prime land to the County, he felt it unfair
to make them pay for the development of utilities which the
County will benefit from as it grows. He stated this did not
involve construction, only looking at study which will outline
what the situation will be in the future. He stated the Board
should change its philosophy on how utilities will develop
(rather than waiting on developers to start developments and
then building roads, utilities, etc). and decide how it wants
development to look in the future, what should be preserved for
parks, farmland, etc. and then develop the utilities and roads
to accommodate it. He stated this would eliminate shortages,
problems with people investing in homes and finding the land
will not perk, water is not available, etc.
Mrs. Girone inquired if Hunters Ridge was included in the CIP
as they are experiencing dry wells. Mr. Sale stated the staff
will be discussing this matter tomorrow and there is some
possibility of a sanitary district to address this particular
problem. There was some discussion regarding upfront money
that might be necessary with the establishment of an assessment
district, issuance of revenue bonds with the assessment
district paying the bonds off, the need to include it in the
program if it is determined to be accomplished, etc. Mr.
Ramsey stated this issue only arose within the past six weeks.
Mrs. Girone stated that she felt an expense such as this should
be included. Mr. Ramsey stated that there are anticipated to
be several work sessions on this matter. Mr. Daniel stated
that if issues are to be added, other issues will have to be
eliminated to keep the rates, budget, etc. even. Mr. Sale
stated staff is trying to reach a mutually agreeable solution
with residents and there are several different scenarios.
There was discussion regarding the County's responsibility when
people make choices to build wells and septic tanks and they
are inadequate; the stimulation of development which will
require additional services to be provided by the County; the
equal treatment of all County citizens with regard to taxes,
health and safety issues; the determination by the County
Health Department to determined perkability of the land and the
potability of the water; the need to address the Code which
should be more stringent to protect potential homeowners not on
public water and sewer; the funding of the James River Trunk
with revenue bonds, etc.
87-436
Mr. Ramsey stated the 1987-88 Utilities CIP should be adopted
which would be accomplished within the existing rate structure
and could be brought back to the Board at the next meeting with
adjustments. Mrs. Girone stated she would like accommodations
for Hunters Ridge and Mr. Mayes stated he would like a study
accomplished for the Matoaca District, specifically the Lake
Chesdin area and the Physic Hill area. He also discussed the
age and efficiency of the condition of the sewer facilities for
the Village of Matoaca and Ettrick and the County is not
preparing for this. Mr. Welchons stated there is an item in
the CIP to replace the Ettrick pump station. There was
discussion regarding the availability of grants which might be
used in Ettrick or Matoaca and staff was requested to
investigate this possibility further. There was discussion of
the water lines in Ettrick having been replaced, the need not
to replace lines in Matoaca at this time, sanitation district,
etc. Mr. Welchons stated as part of the infiltration/inflow
account, there is money on a County-wide basis and Old Town
Creek will be investigated to reduce infiltration and make
repairs in areas needed.
It was generally agreed that the CIP for 1987-88 will be
considered for adoption and 1988-93 as the CIP for the future
(not for adoption but as a working program for the next five
years realizing this will be brought back annually for an
update as needed) with the inclusion of Hunters Ridge and the
study of the Matoaca area for Lake Chesdin and Physic Hill all
to be considered at the June 24, 1987 meeting.
Mr. Sale stated the next item was consideration of the
financing of the Upper Swift Creek transport system. The Board
stated that authority was granted with consideration of the CIP
for 1987-88. It was generally agreed that staff will move on
this project and funds are included in the existing rate
structure to design and build it. There was discussion as to
whether there would be a development district. It was
indicated that if it were included in the CIP it would not be
necessary as a development district. Mrs. Girone stated that
the Board has discussed ways to fund new areas and the cost
could revert to the developers who are interested in developing
their land and would reimburse the County, the rates would not
have to be so high, the Board cannot afford to overlook
opportunities to set up districts as is done for drainage
districts, etc. She stated that she was in favor of such
districts as money will come back to the County and those
developing would bear the expenses. Mr. Applegate indicated he
was in favor of the concept of districts for future projects
but not for developers to be assessed after commitments have
been made. He stated he would not have any problems with doing
this for the balance of the water shed but not for property
already zoned, etc. Mrs. Girone stated by creating a district,
it would cost a developer $600 an acre and the County would
recoup $17,000,000. She stated she did not feel this would
make a difference to the developers in the area. Mr. Applegate
stated it would be a requirement after the fact and it would
have been better if it were known in the beginning. Mr. Mayes
stated he felt a commission should be established to evaluate
services such as water and sewer, waste disposal, etc. Mr.
Dodd stated the trunk lines have always been put in by the
County with developer connecting on but he felt what is done in
one area should be done County-wide. After considerable
discussion, it was generally agreed by the Board that districts
should be considered for future developments in the County when
feasible prior to zoning, etc. It was generally agreed by the
Board that the Upper Swift Creek and other areas already
committed to should not have districts created. It was
generally agreed that the staff should prepare an analysis of
sewer and water district with all larger future developments
and zoning issues to be considered.
It was generally agreed that consideration of the utilities
building and other office space for the County would be
deferred at this time.
87-437
Mr. Sale stated the County's CIP proposal for six years is in
the amount of $35,000,000 and it is within the existing tax
rate for debt but there are other projects listed as well which
could be funded, what the cost will be, etc. Mr. Ramsey stated
the Board is not requested to take any action this date as he
anticipates several work sessions. Mr. Sale reviewed the
Airport projects and the funding which was agreeable to the
proposal.
Mr. Sale reviewed the Parks and Recreation Items and proposed
financing. After further discussion of the matter in general,
Mr. Applegate stated the Athletic Complex in Clover Hill
District needed to be completed sooner than scheduled, Mr. Dodd
indicated he needed improvements to existing parks which he did
not have input into, Mr. Mayes stated he felt the proposal for
Matoaca District was inadequate but he would accept the
proposal; Mr. Daniel stated the Ironbridge Park, Phase II needs
to be rejuvenated as this park serves four districts and Mrs.
Girone stated the Huguenot Park was never completed and it is
not listed. Mr. Sale reminded the Board that there were at
least two pages of projects at the end of the CIP that were
recommended but which were not funded.
Mr. Ramsey stated staff's objective today was to have the Board
understand what the projects were, that it may take many
meetings to work down to the actual financing, or hear input
from the Board on projects they would like to see included,
adjusted, etc.
Mr. Sale explained the Library program. Mrs. Girone stated
the libraries that need expansion are again put off and are in
the back of the book. Mr. Dodd expressed concern about the
Enon Branch Library, Mr. Applegate stated a branch was needed
in Brandermill and Mr. Mayes stated Matoaca did not have a
branch. Mr. Daniel requested Mrs. Girone to serve as a
committee of one to bring to the Board a recommendation on
libraries.
Mr. Sale stated the next issue was the Mental Health/Mental
Retardation facility for office space. There was considerable
discussion regarding professional staff who may be in
competition with services provided by the private sector, what
is required by state law to be provided by the County, amounts
paid by the clients for services received, how the waiting
lists and referrals are handled, etc. The Board requested a
copy of a report on how the clients pay, what portions are full
pay, etc.
Mr. Sale reviewed the public safety portion of the CIP and the
financing. There was discussion regarding the County Jail,
additional space for the Commonwealth's Attorney at the
Juvenile Courts facility, the acquisition of property for the
Reams Road Fire Station, the Juvenile Group Home, the Police
and Fire Training Center and the site location, etc. It was
generally agreed the County Jail should be placed in the
1992-93 proposal and that it could be amended, if necessary.
Mr. Sale reviewed the Drainage portion of the CIP and its
financing. Mr. Dodd stated the Quail Oaks drainage project
needs to be accomplished. There was considerable discussion
regarding the Johnson Creek drainage project, when it is
anticipated to be accomplished, the benefits that would accrue
to the County, etc. Mr. Daniel stated next year the CIP should
include a complete list of drainage projects and let the Board
decide on when and what will be done as the problems are not
going to go away.
Mr. Sale reviewed the transportation portion of the CIP and its
financing. Mr. Applegate inquired what was proposed for
Woolridge Road, the problems being experienced, who is
responsible, etc. He stated this improvement was necessary and
requested staff to prepare a cost estimate on upgrading the
road and having it taken into the State Secondary System.
87-438
There was some general discussion regarding space, satellite
offices for the Treasurer and the Commissioner of Revenue, the
Courts Building, the vacation of other space, a Police
Department substation, etc. Mr. Ramsey stated that by 1990
there will be a shortfall of 50,000 ft. of office space and
staff will be reviewing this with the Board in more detail.
It was generally agreed to recess for five minutes.
Reconvening:
Mr. Ramsey stated the School CIP was originally for four years
and they did expand it to six; the figures for the last two
years may not be as accurate but the total is for $243,000,000.
Mr. Stegmaier stated staff has been working with the financial
advisor to develop polices for the County in terms of debt
management. He briefly reviewed the nine recommendations for
the County's debt management, what the County can afford to do
with the existing tax rate and a broader financial picture
based on the other criteria and what the County could afford
with additional revenue sources. He stated if the School CIP
and the County CIP are combined, there is a shortfall of
$150,000,000 over the six year period. Mr. Ramsey reviewed the
deficit for the CIP and indicated on the County side there was
a deficit for the first couple of years but not in the ensuing
years so there may have to be some shifting to accommodate the
school projects. He reviewed the proposed CIP for the schools
outlining their requests. He stated that to stay within the
existing tax rate, the County really should not spend funds for
the CIP until approximately 1990 or 1991. Mr. Mayes inquired
if any consideration had been given to new citizens being
charged additional taxes to use facilities or cause new
facilities to be built rather than being funded by long term
residents. Mr. Micas stated the only legal way to assess
people would be through a school assessment district. Mr.
Daniel stated with the new zoning ordinances, being proposed,
it should help with some of these types of things. He inquired
what percentage of the cost of processing a building permit,
was being included. Mr. Sale stated as far as the straight
building permit fee, you can only charge for the inspections,
and they are assessing this and charging 100%. There was some
discussion of other alternatives such as assessment districts,
how they operate, etc. Mr. Daniel requested that staff prepare
a 10 year history as to the debt assessment ratio, debt as
percentage of General Fund and debt per capita. There was
considerable discussion regarding the cost of educating
children, who should pay for this expense, bond issues over 20
years, etc. It was indicated that a CIP in the County enhances
the property values. (A copy of this material is filed with
the papers of this Board.)
Mr. Daniel instructed staff to recommend to the Board a CIP,
based on existing tax rate. There was discussion that the
proposed CIP for schools for current year is $10,500,000, about
how that would be financed, the need to limit zoning and
construction, etc. Mr. Ramsey stated there is enough zoning in
place now to carry the County past this CIP. He stated this
does not include any funds for expansion of the operating
budget.
Mr. Stegmaier presented the Board with a program that could be
accomplished within the legal limit of borrowing allowed and
debt per capita which would be $151,000,000 for schools and
$93,000,000 for County projects. He indicated alternatives and
shifting would still leave a shortfall of $34,000,000.
Staff was directed to get with the school staff to come back
with alternatives that look to different levels of the CIP as
there were non-classroom issues addressed such as
air-conditioning, etc. Mrs. Girone inquired why window units
cannot be used as it would cut back on the cost. Mr. Applegate
87-439
requested that any projects approved in past bond referendums
or loans have not been started he would like to know why, when
they were critical needs. Mr. Ramsey stated he understands the
School system is still going through the $70,000,000. Mr.
Roger Long, representing the School System, answered questions
of the supervisors with regard to the construction of the
projects approved through the bond issue, time spent on the
school rezoning process, spaces available in the schools system
vs. the growth of students per year, the uneven distribution of
students in the schools, their working relationship with the
Planning Department and they are conservative, the plan covers
the next 11,000 students in the school system, the need for
additional elementary schools, the energy conservation study
(air conditioning study) which covers heating and other
systems, what would happen if the CIP for this year and next
year is not approved as proposed, the use of trailers, etc.
Mrs. Girone inquired about trailers and requested that the
Board be furnished information regarding their purchase, lease,
where they will be located, what they are costing, etc..

13. PUBLIC ~R. ARINGS
13 .A.
REQUEST FOR THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC RESTRICTION ON OLD
HUNDRED ROAD
Mr. Sale stated this date and time had been advertised for a
public hearing to consider the restriction of through truck
traffic on Old Hundred Road from Midlothian Turnpike to Genito
Road.
Ms. Lois McLean stated for clarification that the request was
not to restrict all truck traffic on Old Hundred Road, but to
restrict through truck traffic. She stated that in the last
year, Old Hundred Road has been used by large dump trucks in
their daily route, carrying crushed stone and rocks from the
quarry in Powhatan to construction sites on Genito Road and
Route 360, with few being construction sites in the immediate
area. She stated they are concerned with safety, the
environment and road conditions. She stated they are concerned
about trucks and school buses being on the road at the same
time as the width of the road on the unimproved portions of Old
Hundred Road and the capacity for these two vehicles to pass
each other is two feet more than road surface available. She
stated there are no shoulders on Old Hundred Road and the
elementary school bus has been forced to ride in the ditch to
pass by a gravel truck. She stated there have been other such
instances and accidents and they are concerned about their
teenaged drivers and older children who ride their bicycles on
the road or play near the street in their front yards. She
cited weight problems in stopping heavy trucks, the impact on
road conditions, the volume of truck traffic, the noise
pollution, the changes in the character of the area, the dirt
section of the road and the need for the through truck
restriction.
Mr. Rick Pulver stated that he strongly supports the request.
He stated that safety is their main concern with the road being
narrow and dangerous. He also stated that the road is rapidly
deteriorating and that if there is not some relief from the
truck traffic, costs to repair the road should be taken into
consideration. He stated that the alternative route could be
Midlothian Turnpike and Coalfield Road.
Ms. Dale Harris read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Christopher
Mesco, residents of Old Hundred Road, which indicated excessive
speed by the dump trucks on Old Hundred Road, the road being
too narrow for the trucks to traverse and requested favorable
consideration of this issue.
Mr. Hugh Woodall stated that he wholeheartedly supports the
statements presented and acknowledged that the road is narrow
and dangerous and requested the Board give favorable
consideration to this issue.
There being no one else to speak, the public hearing was
closed.
Mrs. Girone commented that the citizens' views had been well
expressed, that she felt this was a safety hazard and felt
further the process to restrict through truck traffic should
continue.
Mr. Applegate inquired if the 1500, 1600 and 1700 blocks of Old
Hundred Road were north of the intersection of Cats Ankle.
Mrs. McLean stated that they were between Route 60 and
Otterdale Road and noted that some petitioners were south of
that intersection. Mr. Applegate explained that the Highway
Department may see fit to restrict the through truck traffic to
Otterdale Road and not further south on Old Hundred Road. Mr.
Daniel stated that many times the Highway Department has not
adhered to the recommendations of the Board of Supervisors
concerning these issues.
87-448
On motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Applegate, the Board
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors has
received requests from citizens to restrict through truck
traffic on Old Hundred Road (Route 652) from Midlothian
Turnpike (Route 60) to Genito Road (Route 604) by any truck or
truck and trailer or semi-trailer combination except pickup or
panel trucks; and
WHEREAS, the Board has conducted a public hearing on the
question.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
Supervisors requests the Virginia Department of Transportation
to restrict through truck traffic on Old Hundred Road from
Midlothian Turnpike to Genito Road.

14.A. SET DATES FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS
14.A.1. TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO INCREASE THE BUSINESS
LICENSE TAX RATES FOR PEDDLERS AND ITINERANT
MERCHANTS
Mr. Hammer requested the Board set a public hearing date to
consider an ordinance to increase the business license tax
rates for peddlers and itinerant merchants. He stated that
this item provides for the restructuring of the Peddler and
Itinerant Business Merchants License Sections of the County
Code and for an increase in the peddler and itinerant merchant
rates to $500 and also provides to change other license rates
from $25 to $50. He stated that the ordinance is intended to
provide clearcut and easily, administratively available
language to the residents who desire to handle charitable and
other events throughout the County.
Mr. Dodd inquired how this would affect an operation like the
Bellwood Flea Market. Mr. Hammer stated that the Bellwood Flea
Market would be considered a regular business as opposed to an
itinerant merchant and that it would have a normal type of
retail business permit. Mr. Dodd inquired if each individual
merchant would have to pay the $500 fee. Mr. Micas stated that
the individual would not have to pay the $500 fee.
On motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board set the
date of July 22, 1987 at 9:00 a.m. for a public hearing to
87-449
consider an ordinance to increase the business license tax
rates for peddlers and itinerant merchants.
Vote: Unanimous

CODE ALL STATE MOTOR
VEHICLE OFFENSES
Mr. Micas requested the Board set a date for a public hearing
to consider an ordinance amending Section 14.1-1 of the County
Code adopting by reference into the County Code all state motor
vehicle offenses. He stated that each year the Board adopts an
ordinance which incorporates all changes made by the recent
General Assembly pertaining to motor vehicle laws. He stated
that the change allows County police officers to charge County
motorists with County offenses and keep any fines in the County
Treasury.
On motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board set the
date of July 22, 1987 at 9:00 a.m. for a public hearing to
consider an amendment to Section 14.1-1 of the County Code
adopting by reference into the County Code all state motor
vehicle offenses.
Vote: Unanimous
14.A.3. TO AUTHORIZE THE ACTING COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO MAKE
APPLICATION TO THE VIRGINIA COMMISSION OF GAME AND
INLAND FISHERIES FOR THE PLACEMENT OF "NO WAKE~' BUOYS
AT THE SEVEN SPRINGS MARINA ON LAKE CHESDIN
Mr. Micas stated that a request had been received from the
Seven Springs Marina asking that "no wake" buoys be placed at
the Marina on Lake Chesdin due to the amount of traffic during
the summer months. He stated that to place public buoys on
public waterways requires a public hearing at both the local
level and by the Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries.
On motion of Mr. Mayes, seconded by Mr. Applegate, the Board
set the date of July 8, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. for a public hearing
to consider the placement of "no wake" buoys at Seven Springs
Marina on Lake Chesdin.
Vote: Unanimous
14 .B.
MENTAL HEALTH ITEMS
14.B.1. ACCEPT ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDS OF $10,000 TO EXPAND
COUNSELING SERVICES FOR HEARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS
Mr. Masden stated that state law requires that all mental
health/mental retardation funds for the County must flow
through a community services board. He stated that
Chesterfield County serves as a fiscal agent for a special fund
to the Richmond Health Centers to serve the hearing impaired.
He stated that this is effective for Chesterfield County and
other community services boards. He requested that the Board
allow Chesterfield County to accept the funds on behalf of
Richmond Health Centers to be able to serve the hearing
impaired.
Mrs. Girone stated she felt this was worthwhile and the County
should do it; however, she stated this is a new program and the
County may be liable for future years.
Mr. Daniel inquired if the grant was accepted this year, would
it automatically obligate Chesterfield County for services that
may not be paid for next year.
87-450
Mr. Masden stated the County is strictly serving as a fiscal
agent, with no local funds in the program and there is no
obligation to continue the service. He stated that the
effectiveness behind the service is that it allows for
Chesterfield to refer people to Richmond Health Centers without
any cost to the County. He stated that the County would not be
obligated to anyone except County citizens and if the program
was phased out, and a hearing impaired citizen came to us
requesting services, the County would have to serve them.
Mrs. Girone inquired as to whether this was a new service,
whether the acceptance of the grant had passed through the
Board each year and whether it had ever been presented to the
Board as a separate item before.
Mr. Masden stated that the service had been in effect for
approximately four years and that it had passed through the
Board each year. He stated this is additional funding for this
fiscal year to that which was already approved.
Mr. Ramsey stated that the Board's inquiries deals with the
funding this year and as to whether or not in additional years,
it will be funded 100%. Dr. Lowe stated that the $10,000 was a
onetime emergency item which was requested for the Deaf
Counseling Center because their donations this year were less
than expected. He stated that with the state grant granting
the $10,000 this fiscal year, it was very clear that this
additional money would not come next year and there was no
obligation on the part of the County. He stated that Virginia
Health Services would be obligated to deal with the shortfall
for next year without additional State or County funds.
Dr. Lowe stated that Chesterfield County has been working as a
fiscal agent for the last four years and any money that goes to
a community program by law, needs to go through a community
services board. He stated that the Board specifically approved
this in 1983 and since then it has been built into the budget
and that because it is additional money beyond what was
approved, it is coming as a separate item. He stated that two
to three residents a year are referred, and there could be
others who obtain the service without being referred but,
statistics by localities are not maintained.
Mr. Applegate stated that the County Administrator's comments
state that this year and in subsequent years, the County will
probably have to participate in the funding of this program.
Dr. Lowe stated that this service was 100% state funded and
that if state funds do not come, then the program will not
receive any funds from Chesterfield County.
Mrs. Girone stated that she felt the problem arises when some
of the residents having been receiving the service and then
suddenly the service is no longer provided. Dr. Lowe stated
that if this service is not funded by the State, it would be a
low priority given to all the other needs of the Mental
Health/Mental Retardation Department.
Mr. Dodd requested that the motion not obligate the Board for
next year. Mr. Daniel stated he did not feel that would be
appropriate, as this Board cannot commit another Board.
On motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board
accepted and appropriated additional state funds in the amount
of $10,000 to the appropriate Mental Health/Mental Retardation
revenue and expenditure accounts for the purpose of expanding
counseling services for hearing impaired individuals which
services will be provided by the Richmond Health Centers.
Vote: Unanimous
87-451
14.B.2. DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATIVE SERVICES GRANT AWARD
Dr. Lowe stated that a grant award for $28,600 from the
Department of Rehabilitative Services is for the next fiscal
year. He stated that the grant is to be used to establish
supervised work options in industry for six to eight adults
with mental retardation and that the expectation is that the
program will pay for itself through contracts with industry as
a startup cost only. He stated that this is not a program that
will receive funds after this year. He stated that this
category of supported work is not offered at the present time
and that this will broaden the spectrum of services offered.
Mr. Applegate inquired if the $28,600 was accepted as starting
costs, would the monies received in the future go to offset the
service and not cost the County any money.
Dr. Lowe stated that was correct.
Mr. Daniel stated that on a recent business trip, he and Mr.
Dodd witnessed a major manufacturer who had set a portion of
their jobs for the mentally handicapped and blind and that they
had observed first hand that people can earn a productive
living at the prevailing wage rates within this particular
fashion. He stated if this is putting people from the welfare
roll onto the work payroll, thereby, having them contribute
back to society with their talents, there are cost benefits to
be recognized.
Dr. Lowe stated that was correct and that in the past year,
approximately thirteen people had been placed in competitive
jobs at the prevailing wage rates. He stated that the program
is slightly different in that it takes a group of people to do
a project rather than an individual to do one job.
On motion of Mr. Applegate, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board
accepted new grant funds in the amount of $28,600; authorized
one (1) new full-time Production Training Specialist and
approved the budget revisions for expenditure of $28,600 in
Rehabilitative Services Grant for Mental Health/Mental
Retardation.
Vote: Unanimous
Mr. Daniel stated that he would like to see some statistics
relating to the program.
Mrs. Girone stated that when a commitment is made to a program,
and salary adjustments are discussed for the next year, a
commitment is made and that it should be placed into the
department's allocations with any additional appropriations.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ITEMS
SET PUBLIC HEARING TO INCREASE MAXIMUM MOBILE HOME
PERMIT PERIOD TO SEVEN YEARS
Mr. Sale stated the Board had considered the adjustment to the
fees in planning and zoning and they had requested that the
Planning Commission consider revising the length of time that
mobile homes may be permitted from five to seven years. He
stated that the Planning Commission has considered this and are
recommending changing the amount of time that mobile homes may
be permitted in the district.
Mr. Dodd stated since he is in the mobile home sales business
he does not wish to have a conflict of interest or an
appearance of one and does not intend to vote on the issue, but
will be available to answer questions from the Board.
87-452
Mr. Daniel stated that to extend the local mobile home permit
from five to seven years may be sending a message that
development is not consistent. He stated that people in some
areas who have mobile homes have been cautioned that it may be
their last renewal.
Mr. Dodd questioned the increase in fees proposed and felt a
a more reasonable fee could be considered, most of the mobile
homes are in his district, most are renewals, most are not new
permits, etc.
Mr. Daniel stated that the fee structure as proposed is to
cover the cost of processing the application and not to address
the five year or seven year period.
On motion of Mr. Applegate, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board
set a public hearing date for July 8, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. to
consider an ordinance amending Sections 21-108 and 21-145
relating to parking of mobile homes.
Vote: Unanimous
14.C.2. NOMINATION OF 14 HISTORIC PROPERTIES FOR
CONSIDERATION FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION
Mr. Sale stated that Mr. Dodd had recommended fourteen
properties for consideration of historic landmark designation.
He stated that under the Historic Preservation Ordinance, the
Board would nominate various structures to the Preservation
Committee and the Planning Commission, there would be a joint
public hearing and both bodies would submit to the Board the
results of their public hearing, the Board would then hold a
public hearing and consider formal designation of the
nominations as landmark structures.
Mrs. Girone inquired if the owners of these properties had been
notified. Mr. Sale stated the owners had not been notified.
Mr. Daniel stated that notification will be at the time of the
public hearing.
Mrs. Girone directed staff to advise the property owners of
Bellona Arsenal, Hallsborough Tavern and Trabues Tavern by
letter the intentions of the Board with a copy of the
ordinance. Mr. Sale stated that this would be done for all.
Mrs. Girone requested withdrawal of Bellona Arsenal,
Hallsborough Tavern and Trabues Tavern until a response is
received from the property owners.
On motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board
deferred Bellona Arsenal, Hallsborough Tavern and Trabues
Tavern until June 24, 1987 or until a response is received from
the property owners, and further nominated Bellwood,
Castlewood, Chester Presbyterian Church, Eppington, Magnolia
Grange, Olive Hill, Richmond View (Kingsland), Swift Creek

Mr. Sale stated that the Virginia Department of Transportation
will be conducting a public hearing on June 18, 1987 on the
final primary allocation and has submitted a proposed statement
for the County.
Mr. Daniel stated he would like to add a paragraph that
reaffirms the previous list of projects and that he would like
to focus the discussion on Route 288.
Mr. Applegate stated that he did not think the statement was
written strongly enough and felt the State should understand
the citizens of Chesterfield County had approved $30 million to
build Route 288 correctly and adequately the first time.
Mr. Daniel stated Chippenham Parkway is a fine example, as the
day it was opened it was described as being out of date.
Mr. Mayes supported the statement being forwarded to the
Governor and his Commission to assure Chesterfield receives its
fair share of the allocation. Mr. Daniel stated this had been
done previously.
Mr. Applegate expressed concern that the Highway Department
feels at grade intersections are acceptable in some instances,
depending on who is paying the cost and not at others. He
stated this should be addressed.
Mrs. Girone inquired if there were any money available in the
Six Year Plan for Route 288 North.
Mr. McCracken stated that the current Six Year Plan has funding
for the environmental impact study for Route 288 North, but
there are currently no funds available for construction. It
was indicated concerned citizens would be present to address
this matter.
On motion of Mr. Applegate, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board
approved the proposed VDOT 1987-88 Final Primary Allocation
Hearing, as amended, by reinforcing the previous list of
projects and adding stronger language in the second paragraph.

assessment and development districts in the Ruffin Mill area.
He stated that a concern of the property owners in that area is
that the Board consider changing the land use plan in
existence. Mr. Dodd stated he was not in total agreement,
however, he felt it should be forwarded to the Planning
Commission for consideration.
87-454
Mrs. Girone inquired about the process to amend the Northern

b. MARKETING INDUSTRIAL PARK
c. INDUSTRIAL PARK SECOND ACCESS
Mr. Sale stated that staff initiated a study with Barton and
Company to conduct an independent appraisal for the Airport
Industrial Park and that the appraisal had been recently
received. He stated that the recommendation based upon the
study is that parcels in the developed area, those fronting on
the taxiway be appraised at $40,000 per acre and those with non
taxiway frontage be appraised at $38,000 per acre. He stated
that currently the interim price pending receipt of this
appraisal was $40,000 and $37,500, respectively.
Mr. Applegate stated he felt the difference between taxiway and
non taxiway frontage was not significant enough. There was
further discussion of the difference in the prices proposed.
On motion of Mr. Applegate, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board
approved the sale price on developed areas on the non taxiway
property at $38,000 per acre and on taxiway frontage at $45,000
per acre at the Airport Industrial Park, effective immediately,
excluding any commitments obligating the County to a lower
price.

SCHOOL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1987-88
Mr. Daniel stated that the Board received a request from the
School Board to modify their budget. He stated that the budget
passed by the Board of Supervisors for the School Board be
sustained that this request for $590,200 in carryover funds to
be used to purchase school buses be returned. He stated no
funds should be carried over from this year's budget to next
year's budget and no additional money given. He stated that
the School Board's total budget is $161,780,000 with
$88,170,000 being funds from the County. He stated their
budget should be developed around the parameters that were
approved by the Board. He stated that cash that is received at
the end of year through the estimates is used as the beginning
cash for the school budget for the following year and to absorb
the leftover funds this year would mean that next year the fund
balance would start off at a negative amount. There was
further discussion regarding trailers, funding, etc.
On motion of the Board, it was resolved that the Board return
the request to use $590,200 in carryover funds for the purchase
of school buses to the School Board with the statement that the
Board has approved a school budget of $161,780,000 of which
$88,178,000 is direct funding by the County and they are to

sell alcohol at this event. He stated he was aware and does

alcoholic beverages are permitted on the premises. Mr. Wright
