Mr. Spencer Murray comes before the Board requesting sewer lines be extended to
his property on Brown Road as he has been experiencing much trouble with his
septic tank. He states that he has done everything possible to eliminate this
problem and nothing has helped. Mr. Krepela inquires how much this will cost.
Mr. Welchons states it will be approximately $5,000. Mr. Murray states that
he knows he will experience a great cost but that he is willing to pay to get
this problem solved. He adds that he has had this tank pumped out every year
but now there is too much water in the ground and it cannot take anymore.
Mr. Krepela inquires if Mr. Murray would be willing to pay $1,500. Mr. Murray
states he would have to. Mr. Welchons states that the County may possibly
be able to pick up one more connection on a lot across from Mr. Murray.
On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the
Board accepts Mr. Murray's offer of $1,500 for the construction of sewer to his
property.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela.
Mr. Mac Spencer, representing Mr. W. S. Carnes, requests the Board to allow
Mr. Carnes to put in a temporary septic tank until public sewer is available
in order that he might get an occupany permit for his apartment unit. He states
that the Commonwealth'S Attorney's office advised him to come before the Board
since there is some litigation regarding this case and is still pending in Court.
He states'that the lower Court had ordered Mr. Mumma to issue a building permit
for one unit. Mr. Ritz states that it was his understanding that this building
permit was issued to safeguard Mr. Carnes' rezoning and it was not expected to
be occupied. He adds also that site plans, road plans, etc. were never approved
by the CoHnty--everything was done by the Court. He states again that this
was done only for the purpose of protecting Mr. Carnes' rezoning. Mr. Apperson
states that it was his understanding there were no limitations. Mr. Ritz
states there were limitations.
Mr. Carnes comes before the Board and states that Mr. Ritz and Mr. Balderson
have been holding this up and he does not understand why. He states that
Mr. Ritz is fighting him personally and not the apartments. He states further
that Mr. Ritz is not doing his job and further that any builder in the County
will agree. Mr. Ritz states that there were conditions on the order stating
for one, that public sewer had to be constructed and that a septic tank is not
public sewer. Mr. Mason states that when multi-family dwellings were started
prior to the Board of Supervisors taking them over, they would have to finish
where they began and he feels this would have to go back before the Board of
Zoning Appeals as Mr. Ritz had stated.
Mrl Horner,states he has been involved in this and he did not think the soil
would perk. Mr. Carnes asks Mr. Horner why he is against hi- as he has never
done a thing against the County or Mr. Horner and further states that this is
not helping him politically as a number of other things he has done in the County
is not helping him. He adds also that he feels this is political and it should
not be.
Mr. Carries states that the Commonwealth's Attorney told Mr. Ritz to his face and
in front of other witnesses that this was none of his business. Mr. Ritz states
that is not true and asks Mr. Carnes if he would like Mr. Rudy to appear before
the Board. Mr. Carries says he would. It is reported that Mr~ Rudy is out of
the Courthouse complex.
Mr. Myers states that he feels this should be deferred until Mr. Rudy is available!i
as he does not feel it should come before this Board and if it should not the
Board is spending too much time on a matter that is not theirs to consider.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that action on
this subject be tabled until Mr. Rudy, the Commonwealth's Attorney, is present
to give his interpretation of the order.
Ayes: Mr.~Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Painter states that bids were let for Sewer Contracts 7032-6A and 7032-6B
for the Bon Air Heights, Oxford and Southampton areas.
He states that T & E Construction Company, who submitted the low bid for
7032~6A in the amount of $228,470, also submitted the iow bid for 7032-6B in the
amount of $250,192.25. He states that he is not sure that T & E Construction
can supply sufficient crews to cover both jobs and have the projects completed
within the 220 days allowed. He states that if T & E Construction cannot, he
has another bid from H. J. Snyder, who submitted the next lowest bid in the amount
of $251,985.21 for 7032-6B which is approximately $1,800 higher.
Mr. Horner asks Mr. Krepela if he is going to condemn where necessary for these
lines to be laid. Mr. Krepela states that he will but that he does not expect
too many condemnations because there is a possibility of one or two of the lines
being deleted. Mr. Painter states that he would have liked to have known of this
possibility because the lines that are probably being considered for deletion
are the most expensive to lay.
On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson~ it is resolved that Sewer
contracts 7032-6A in the amount of $228,470 and 7032-6B i~n the amount of
$250,192.25 be awarded to T & E Construction Company with the understanding
that if they cannot complete these projects in the time allowed, Sewer Contract
7032-6B will be awarded to H. J. Snyder in the amount of $251,985.21.
Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Wagstaff comes before the Board and thanks them for their consideration of
sewer in this area as he has been working on this for the past 10 years and he
is willing to help in any way possible.
Mr. Apperson inquires if there is any possibility of widening Route 641.
Mr. Covington states that the cost will be approximately $59,000. He states this
would be for curbing and gutters across from Oakdale. Mr. Apperson states that
there are two drainage problems in the area, one with the Stephens property
and the other with the Holzbach property. He states the reason for these
problems is the road is higher than the properties and the water runs into the
yards. Mr. Covington states the only money available is the Rural Addition
money. ~He states that in another area the Board had used some 3¢ Road Funds
but had also appropriated more money in addition to these funds. Mr. Apperson
states that he would like to consider the possibilities further for correcting
this situation.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this road
improvement be deferred for further consideration.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Covington states that when he wrote the letter to Mr. Burnett he had been
in error and that the Board will have to hold a Public Hearing on the restricting
of truck traffic on East Happy Hill Road and, also, an alternate route will have
to be designated.
-Mr. Covington advises the Board that the Primary Road Fund will construct the
interchange of Routes 604 and 10 if the County will acquire the right-of-way need-~
ed. Upon consideration of this matter, it is on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded
by Mr. O'Neill, resolved that this Board approves the proposed interchange of
Routes 604 and 10 and agree to obtain the necessary right-of-way.
Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Burnett presents Mr. Krepela with a petition from the residents on
Robindale Road. After some discussion Mr. Krepela asks Mr. Burnett to write a
letter to C. Porter Vaughan to correct the drainage, loose gravel and slipping
mud which have caused people problems.
Mr. Krepela states that children living on Depot Road have to walk 1~ miles to
catch the school bus, the reason being the bus will not travel this road
because there is no place to turn around. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded
by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Board ask the Highway Department to
give an estimate for a turn-around on this road. Mr. Covington states that
there is a site problem at the railroad crossing on this road which should be
considered if a bus is to travel same.
Ayes: Mr. Morner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Prosise states that there is a drainage problem in the Old Falling Creek
Subdivision. He states that the Mundys and the Pulhams are experiencing
flooded yards due to the fact that the culvert and ditches are not adequate.
Mr. Pulham comes before the Board and presents pictures of the flooded areas.
Me states that they have contacted Mr. Stinson who built their houses and he
states that he did attempt to remedy this situation but that he is not the
developer of the roads and he does not feel this is his problem. Mr. Prosise
states that the cul-de-sac is not under the State System and that to take care
of the problems the cost would be approximately $2,000, which would cover
24 foot of 30 inch pipe and the boxes. Mr. Mason states that when a builder
contracts for a house, it is also understood that he will provide adequate
ingress and egress for these people and he feels further that something could
be done. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that
Mr. Mason, Mr. Pulham, Mr. Mundy, Mr. Prosise and Mr. Stinson have a meeting
to discuss the situation and recommend a solution to the Board.
Ayes: Mr. Morner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Bolling comes before the Board and states that Ives Lane is not in the
State System and he dedicated this street to the County and assured same that
it would be up to State requirements. Mrl Burnett states that it was dedicated
by plat but that Mr. Bolling had never notified the County the road was
improved. Mr. Bolling states that at the present time the road does need
repairing and that he is willing to share the cost. Mr. Covington states that
he will meet with Mr. Murray and the Engineering Department to see if a letter
can be written for acceptance.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the
1974-75 Secondary Road Budget be and it hereby is approved.
Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neilll
Mr. Prosise states that he has completed a report on the Lake Genito Subdivision
as requested by the Board. He states that Sections B and C and part of D are
acceptable for the State System but there are seven homes presently existing on
gravel roads.
Mr, Prosise presents the Board with plats showing the location of the roads and
their conditions. He states alot of progress has been made in this development
on ditches, drainage and other improvements.
Mr. Horner states that he just recently received a call from a lady in Lake
Genito Estates who stated that a line had been laid six weeks ago and is still
uncovered. Mr. Rudolph states that he has only been working in this area for
the past 12 weeks and this is the latest part so this condition could not have
existed for six weeks. Mr. Homer states that he was just relating what the
complaint had been.
Mr. Rudolph states he still wants all restrictions lifted. Mr. Mason states
that the Engineering Department has looked at and reviewed the roads as requested
and now they should consider the occupancy permits that need closing.
Mr. Burnett inquires if part of the roads could be taken into the system.
Mr. Prosise states that they are not in complete shape to be recommended to be
taken into the State System. Mr. Myers asks if the same situation existed in
another subdivision, would the roads be ready for acceptance. Mr. Prosise
states they would not~ Mr~ Myers asks Mr. Rudolph if the Board has a list
of the lots ready for occupancy. Mr. Rudolph states that he gave them at the
last Board meeting and lists them again as follows: 14N, 16N, 23N, 50N, 32N,
49N and ilL.
Mr. Burnett inquires if Mr. Rudolph has sales for those homes and Mr. Rudolph
responds to the affirmative. Mr. Rudolph states further that he will not shoot
the roads this fall because the roads will settle all winter and that it would
be a waste of money. Mr. Horner inquires about the bond. Mr. Rudolph states
that the bond was issued prior to his constructing $400,000 worth of sewer lines.
Mr. Horner states that he sees no objection to granting the occupany permits but
wants to hold the building permits until the road situation improves and then
inquires further about the bond.
Mr~ Rudolph states that the bond issue is not the matter here as that will be
taken out of the Board's hands anyway. Mr. Horner states that Mr. Rudolph's
attitude is very poor and considers deferring the entire matter. Mr. Rudolph
states that if the Board does not grant the occupany permits, he has had
communications from attorneys stating that their clients will move in with or
without the occupancy permits. Mr. Homer asks Mr. Rudolph to give the Board
the names of these persons. Mr. Rudolph says he will send a list. Mr. Horner
states that he does not feel he could support a motion regarding this situation
with Mr. Rudolph's attitude being as it is. Mr. Myers states that he does not
feel Mr. Rudolph's attitude, though rather bad, should restrict his rights.
Mr. Mason states he does not feel the Board should present these people with
extra hardships if they can possibly move in.
Mr. Horner inquires as to who set the time schedule. Mr. Rudolph says that
these houses were contracted prior to June. Mr. Horner states that Mr. Rudolph
stated there were no more contracts for houses at the time they granted the
one. Mr. Rudolph states he never made such a statement. Mr. Apperson inquires
if the Board would grant these occupany permits, would it prejudice the Court's
action in anyway. Mr. Mason states he does not feel it would. Mr. Burnett
states that these occupany permits would be subject to the final inspections
as required of all occupancy permits.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Board
release the occupancy permits requested.
Mr. Horner inquires how many more houses are under construction. Mr. Rudolph
states about 15. Mr. Horner asks the other Board members if Mr. Rudolph gets
all these houses occupied how do they know he will not forget about the roads.
Mr. Myers states they still have the $250,000 bond. Mr. Horner states that
it is a signature bond and getting the money may be a different matter.
A vote being taken:
Ayes: Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill.
Abstention: Mr. Horner.
Mr. Prosise states that he feels it would be a good idea if the news media
would let the developers in Chesterfield County know that the Board expects
the roads to be completed where they are developing.
Mr. Krepela submits Mr. Reid Goode's name and Mr. Apperson submits
Mr. Ernest P. Bush's name to serve on the Board of Equitization. Mr. Burnett
states that there is only one vacancy. Mr. Myers states that he thought they
were trying to get a farm or timber man to serve on this Committee. It is
suggested that a letter be written to the Judge apprising him of the situation
and let him choose between the two. Upon consideration whereof, it is on motion
of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved that the Judge of Circuit
Court, the Honorable Ernest P. Gates, be requested to appoint Mr. Ernest P. Bush
to the Board of Equilization.

original plans for the 7,000 lumen light.
Mr. Hornet states that he has some concern for the vehicles turning into this
Park as the speed does not decrease in the area. On motion of Mr. Horner,

Mr. Painter states that the sewer extension along Research Road and Route 60
would involve a connection to a trunk sewer. He states that Central National
Bank is willing to pay $5,000 towards this cost if it is done immediately as

payment. Mr. Burnett states that Ms. Yam Woo, owner of a proposed Chinese
restaurant, wants the sewer extended as far as her place of business and this
would cost approximately $13,000 and she is presently trying to work out a solu-
tion to this matter.

Mr. Painter states he has a request from Day Realty of Richmond for an interim
pump and haul permit at Day's Inn Motel at the Walthall Interchange. He states
that the Inn is ready to open as soon as sewer is approved. He says that they
want to open now and until the plant is in operation, pump the tank out and
haul the sewerage to the Falling Creek Plant. There is some concern by
Mr. Myers that this is only a temporary and not permanent thing and that for
no reason will they be allowed to deposit the sewerage in the Proctors Plant.
Upon consideration of the matter, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by
Mr. Apperson, resolved that Day Realty be granted an interim pump and haul
permit with the understanding that this is only temporary.

Mr. Painter states that he has received requests from Ms. June Flanders and
Ms. Pearl Brown to be released from their contracts for sewer service on

septic tanks are working properly. Mr. O'Neill asks if this would prevent
sewer service from being extended to this area. Mr. Painter states it could.
Mr. O'Neill asks for deferral in order that he might investigate the situation
further.
Mr. Painter states that he has received a letter from Mr. Henson regarding
the Bailey Bridge Pumping Station. He states that Mr. Henson feels he could
redesign the pumping station for approximately $5,000 which would serve
11,800 in lieu of the 6,000 presently proposed and that it would take about
30-40 days to complete the plans. Mr. Painter states that it is the recommenda-
tion of the Engineering Department that the County go to the redesign of this
station. Mr. Frampton states he, too, feels this would be best for the County
because of the extra capacity. He states that it is Urandermill's feelings that
the sewer be kept going in a positive nature and that at the present time,
floating the bond would not be best because of the high interest rates and the
money situation everywhere. He adds also that Brandermill is willing to go
ahead building other parts of the line with their money and then float the
bond next spring or whenever most feasible. Mr. Burnett states if they did go
ahead they would expect the County to pay back the money plus interest and
he does not feel this would be in the best interest of the County.
Mr. Painter distributes the proposed sewer agreement with Brandermill with an
addendum on Page 3, the proposed bond and its financial schedule.
Mr. Myers states that he does not feel he could vote on this now without
studying and reading the entire proposal as it has been changed numerous

the figure changes and this is too big a project not to study thoroughly.
Mr. Myers also adds that he feels the contract should be in final form at the
time of approval.
It is generally agreed that this matter will be deferred for two weeks.
Mro Painter states he has received a letter from R. Stuart Royer regarding the
Proctor's Creek Interim Treatment Plant. He states that in the letter Mr. Royer
says the $250,000-$275,000 estimate is not firm but subject to escalation and
that English ConstruCtion Company will not quote a firm price without rebidding
on new plans. Mr. Painter states this escalation involves mechanical and elec-
trical changes and the Health Department will not approve the change order from
one-half to one million gallon plant. He states they should have a firm price
by September 13. It is generally agreed that this matter be deferred until the
Engineering Department receives a firm price and investigates the matter further.
Mr. Painter states he needs to discuss with the Board the overtime payment for
employees who have to work on Holidays. Mr. Burnett states that Mr. Condrey
is taking care of this now and further feels the federal law will govern
what should be done.
Mr. Rudy states that he has talked with Mr. Carnes and their understandings
are completely different. He states that he will contact Judge White for the
proper interpretation.

Mr. Prosise states that the Engineering Department is considering redoing the
200 scale maps in the County. He states the approximate cost will be $480,000-
$500,000 and will be done in three phases over a period of three years. He
states the first $200,000 will be given by the Utility Department and that next
year, General Fund money will be needed. He states the Assessor's Office will
use these maps and they will be sold to those interested in purchasing same.
He states they are contacting people on the eastern seaboard to find the best
firm to do the mapping and survey work and further that if the three phase
proposal is not the best, they will go with an alternate plan that is better.
Mr. Burnett and Mr. Painter state they have been receiving calls from residents
being served by the Appomatox River Water Authority. Mr. Burnett states that
the water tastes terrible and people have stopped drinking it. He states he
has contacted Col. Rose and he feels they are doing everything possible to remedy
this situation but nothing has helped, and feels further that the only solution
if the water cannot be cleared of this algae, will be to extend a line from
Route 10 and pump from Swift Creek.
It is generally agreed by the Board that they authorize payment to the City of
Colonial Heights in the amount of $17,858.68 to cover the expense the City
incurred by having Glace and Glace draw up engineering plans which had to be

itemized bill is presented.
