Mr. (bvingtcn of the Highway Department came before the Board to discuss road matters.
¥~. Bookman thanked Mr. Covington for moving the signs at Walmsley Boulevard and Turner Road

the relocation of Rt. 147 is scheduled for January 18, 1977. Mrs. Girone stated she had received

Mr. Welchons stated Mr. Elie had requested a sewer connection on River Boad; that the Engineering
Department had reconmmnded an 8" line be'extended at Mr. Elie's expense and if he agreed the fee
would be waived. Mr. Welchons stated that no~ Mr. Elie would like a private service line to his
home and would agree to pay a $300 ccnnection fee. After further discussion of the matter, it
was on motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that a private service line be
run to Mr. Elie's property at his expense and he pay a $600 connection fee.

Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Gircne, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Myers.
Mr. Ritz introduced a resolution on the Tri-Cities Transit Study stating this would not be a
commitment to guarantee subsidy; it would be showing the County's support of the study. After
further discussion, it was on motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that
the following resolution was approved:
Whereas, it has become evident that the Tri-Cities Goaches, Inc., which presently provides
transit service to the area of the County adjacent to the Tri-Cities SMSA, will in the near
future go out of business; and
Whereas, a document entitled Transit Technical Stud~: Tri-Cities, Vir~nia, described the
problems and opportunities for continuing transit service in the Tri-Cities area which study has
been duly considered in the formulation of this resolution;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors desires
to maintain the existing level of transit service in this area of the County with the option at
some future date to increase the level of service and recognizes that this service will be sub-
ject to successful negetiations between the Oounty and the City of Petersburg if the City is to
be the o~ner and the operator of the transit syste~ in the Tri-Cities area.

Mr. Ritz read the proposed resolution on the Pc~hite Parkway Extension--which is in support of
Line "E".
Mr. Bookman questioned if the public would be allowed to speak. Mr. O'Neill stated this was
not a public hearing--it was for Board discussion only. Mr. Myers stated he understood Cabell
Venable was present to request a deferral on a decision. Mrs. Girone stated she and Mr. Venable
had discussed the possibility of deferring the matter, but she had decided to proceed with a
request to support Line "E". She further stated the proposed resolution was an expression of
the feeling of the g~verning body; that it would be forwarded to the Highway Department where
the Highway Cor~ssion would make the final decision, a resolution is just a part of the process
and not the beginning or end.
Mr. Bockman read the following prepared statement addressed to the Board:
"In nil opinion, the annexation line in 1969 should have shown all of us that endorsing or
imposing decisions on the people, when the decision rests with others, is not our function as
a Board. A stand by any supervisor is appropriate, but a beard action added to the travesty
of hc~ this corridor has come about, is going to separate this Board from the people and it
is not necessary as the Virginia Department of Highways has not formally requested such action.
Let us set tha record straight. Powhite is not going to be built 90% to 95% federal funding.
It was designated in June, 1976, to be funded as a primary road, 70% federal and 30% State
funds. To say building Powhite and establishing it as priority will not slow down ny proposal
of alternatives (building Route 288, Route 10-four laning, full cloverleafs at Routes 60 and
360, widening Routes 60 and 360 all the way to Route 288, and building 1-95, if selected), all
coming from the sams primary road fund is misleading and untrue. Our share of primary funds
this year in ~hesterfield is approximately $3.2 million which would not build the cloverleaf
at the mall. The cost of Powhite's filet phase is $14 million today, add five years cost to
this phase, the cost will exceed $20 million, State share is 30%. If Powhite were completed
in twelve years, totally, as proposed, the cost is in excess of $70 million, State share 30%.
The fhippenham project of four lanes is about ready to be built, which is about two years of
primary road funding.
Pc~nite as presented in the news madia is not mostly in Mid[lothian District, only 2.8 miles +,
the remaining 7.3 miles_+ is in Clover Hill District. The acting chairman stated on this podium
two weeks ago today to soma of our citizens here today 'we are in no rush to act on Powhite'--
'sommtime in the future' 'we have not even received the reports from the Virginia Departmant of
Highways on citizen input, and we still have not. The representatives of Midlothian District in
a letter of Novenber 28, to cc~stituents stated a build-up of a "no build" position that neces-
sitated the urc3~n~ of selecting Line E, this should tell us all somathing. Is this Board going
to ignore the peoples' input in this decision? Not ma, I heard it for nine hours at public
hearings.
Two last and seriously inl0ortant points. The manner in which Line E got on the map. October
25, 1972, records stated a public hearing was advertised to approve a General County Plan,
nothing specific about proposed corridors for highways. No one showed at this hearing prob- ·
'ably because the advertisement did not address proposed highways specifically. Later the santo
day three supervisors Mr. Myers, Mr. Homer and Mr. Apperson voted "aye" to reconlrand the
preference of Line E to the Highway Departnmnt.
Opponents of both Corridors A and E have stated that lawyers have been hired and are going to
take legal action on a decision of either route and where are we going to be--litigated farther
and farther away from relief of a seroius traffic problem as proposed to be remadied by a con-
crete corridor with three cloverleafs dunping and funneling double the amount of vehicles to
a specific point that is at present capacity during peak periods.
Fellow Board Manbers, I urge you to state your individual thoughts publicly, but not as a
Board action. Let this decision be made by the sole authority and decision maker for highways,
the Con~issioners, and faith that their decision will be the right one."
It was on motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Apperson, resolved that the following resolu-
tion be approved:
WHEREAS, the present Board of Supervisors has not yet taken a position concerning a pre-
ferred location for the extension of Powhite Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the Board is fully acquainted with the issuas, positions, and testimony of all
interested parties; and
and
WHEREAS, the two previous Boards of Supervisors unanimously favored LINE "E"; and
WHEREAS, the County's General Plan has shf~n the LINE "E" corridor for Powhite Pazkway;
WHEREAS, the Regional Transportation Plan shows LINE "E" as the corridor for Powhite
Parkway; and
WHEREAS, many landc~ners and developers have made significant comnitr~nts in the "good
faith" belief that LINE "E" would be chosen.
NOW, qt{ERE~DRE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors prefers
that Powhite Parkway be extended into the County on LINE ~'E" and that the Highway Departmmnt
make their location decision as soon as possible.
Mr. Apperson stated his reasons for seconding the motion were 1) movemant of people; 2) somathing
should be decided; and 3) his experience in the area of plarming roadways tells him it is the
best thing to do.
Mrs. Girone stated planning for this road began in 1965 and it was a good plan; that lack of
funds may have been reason a decision has not been made before; that she has supported and
requested the widening of Routes 60 & 360 and installmant of cloverleafs but thru traffic
cannot continue through rural roads (Pinetta, Buford and Jahnke Roads); that an e~pressway is
needed. Mrs. Girone further stated her responsibility as a Supervisor is to respond to the
wishes of citizens and to do her homework; that it is not an easy position to take--some people
will be upset and it would be very easy to say I'm not going to get involved, but in considering
the best interest of the O0unty the road is needed.
Mr. Bookman stated he would be derelict if he was not in favor of good planning. Planning had
started in 1965 and %p until 1971 Cbrridor A was the Board's choice and he objected to Line E
being on the Co~qty map when it has not been decided where the line is going; that people don't
realize the devastating effects an expressway can cause; that he too is representing the citi-
zens and feels they don't want an e~pressway; that funding will be depleted if Powhite is
extended. Mr. Bookman further stated he did not understand the urgency of a decision being
made since a final report has not been received from the Virginia Department of Highways on the
public hearings that were held.
Mrs. Girone stated she felt funding would be taken care of by constructing the Parkway as a
toll road; that alternates to Line "E" were required by the Federal government. Mr. Ritz stated
that since 1971 when he came to work for the County. Line "E" has been the Board's choice; that
the Board requested the Highway Department to look into the costs of other corridors and in 1971
it was decided Line "E" was the cheapest route to take and would affect the least number of
residences.
Mr. Bookman stated he could not see hew anyone can call developers unscrupulous when we are
in reality confiscating and disallc~ing the use of land and also how can we tell people Line
"E" might go in when the Highway Department may go with another corridor.
Mrs. Girone stated she felt the word is integrity--that the Board has done all it could to let
the people know of Powhite and feels the Board cannot legislate integrity.
Mr. Myers stated being from the lower end of the County, it was not for him to decide what
· should be done about roads and planning; that supervisors are first County Supervisors and
then District Supervisors. He further stated he could not understand why he should receive
so mudn correspondence on the issue and not let others know about it; that he has been through
the area and supports 100% the recon,t~ndation that the Board request the Highway Department
proceed with Line "E". Mr. Myers 'further stated he personally feels there will always be
a local need for Powhite, at least to Rt. 60; that he supported it when he came on the Board
and still does; that if the Board is wrc~g in its decision the Highway Department has the ex-
pertise to determine what is right. Mr. Myers further stated he was concerned with transpor-
tation and the lack of roads; and feels without any hesitancy that he must express hin~elf
and not wait to v~te to approve Line "E".
Mrs. Girone stated the resolution is for the full extensian and not just to N~ute 60; that
when a major highway is proposed it is the responsibility of the governing body to respond.
Mr. O'Neill stated he did not feel the previous Boards tried to mislead anyone in any way, shape
or fashion nor did he feel there has been any inconsistency of the Board c~ the issue. He fur-
ther stated that a lot of planning had to go into cc~sideration of major highways and the people
of the County have responsibilities as well as the Board.
A vote was tekan:
Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Myers.

Mr. Myers voted aye.
Mrs. Girone voted aye.
Mr. Apperscn voted aye.
Mr. Bookman v~ted nay.
Mr. Myers voted aye.
~he motion passed by a 4-1 margin.
Mr. Falwell read the proposed resolution to construct Powhite as a toll road. Mr. Apperson
stated he takes an exception to the construction of the Powhite Parkway as a toll road; that
a study made by the RMA two years ago stated a toll road was not feasible; that the Board is
defeating the purpose of the resolution just approved supporting Line ,E"; that terrible
backups are caused at toll booths. Mr. Apperscn also stated that he personally did not want
to see another toll road approved; that additional personnel would have to be hired which would
prevent any profit being made.
M~s. Girone stated she had researched the matter and the original study had not been completed;
that before Mr. Fugate of the Highway Department retired, he suggested the toll road again
since traffic flow was exceeding what had been anticipated; that if approved, it would be a
Highway Department Bc~d Issue maintained from Highway Funds and not County funds; that this
resolution was just asking the State Legislators and Delegates to ask the 1977 General /~sembly
to support legislation to permit the Highway Department to construct the Pc~hite Parkway as a
toll road; that it does not mean it will be done--it is just the feeling of the governing body.
After further discussion, it was on ration of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Myers, resolved
tha~the following resolution be and it thereby was approved:
WHEREAS, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors supports the extension of Powhite
Parkway into the County as soon as possible; and
WHEREAS, there is the possibility that the extension can be in whole or in part built
as a toll road and if so built ~ould be constructed nore swiftly; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportaf_ion can build and operate
toll roads only with the consent of the Ceneral Assenbty and the Governor;.
NC~, THEREFORE, BE IT ~SOLVED, that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors
supports the constructicm of Powhite Pazkway ~s a toll road and hereby requests the State
Senators ~and Delegates representing Chesterfield County to introduce and support the approp-
riate enabling legislation in the 1977 Session of the General Assembly to permit the Highway
Department to construct Powhite Parkway as a toll road.
Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone and Mr..Myers.
