On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the follow- ing resolution be and it hereby is approved: An Ordinance to amend.the vacation ordinance passed on July 25, 1974, to vacate a portion of a 20 foot road right-of-way, known and designated as Riverside Drive, in the Subdivision of Plan of Rosalie, a plat of which made by T. Crawford Redd and Brothers, Engineers and Surveyors, dated February 5, 1914, and recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, Virginia, in Plat Book 3, page 80, styled Plan 'of Rosalie, Bermuda District, Chesterfield County, Virginia, the said portion of 20 foot wide right-of-way being unimproved and not used for public purposes and being more particularly shown on a plat of survey of a portion of the aforesaid Subdivision plat and adjoining property, dated August 21, 1974, shaded in red, made by M. E. Floyd, C.L.S., Richmond, Virginia, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and, WHEREAS, George V. Harvey and Kathleen P. Harvey, his wife, have amended their petition to the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County, Virginia, to vacate a portion of the unimproved 20 foot right-of-way known and designated as Riverside Drive, in the Subdivision of Plan of Rosalie as shown shaded in red on a plat of survey of a portion of the said Subdivision plat and adjoining property, dated August 21, 1974, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and WHEREAS, the said petitioners agree to dedicate to the County of Chester- field a 60 foot wide road right-of-way shown cross-hatched on the aforesaid plat; and WHEREAS, notice of the adoption of this Ordinance has been given in accordance with Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia: 1. That pursuant to Section 15.1-482, of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, that the portion of the unimproved 20 foot wide road right-of-way as described above and shown shaded in "red" on the plat attached hereto showing a portion of the Plan of Rosalie and adjoining property, be, and it is hereby vacated, subject to receipt by the County of Chesterfield. Virginia, a deed of dedication of the 60 foot wide road right-of-way shown cross-hatched on the aforesaid plat. 2. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect in accordance with Section 15.1-482 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and a certified copy hereof, together with the plat attahced, shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, Virginia. This Ordinance takes the place of and supercedes that ordinance approved and passed by the Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting on July 25, 1974. Ayes: Mr. Horenr, Mr. Myers and Mr. Apperson. Mr. Hinton comes before the Board representing the Pocono Subdivision and states that the residents of this Subdivision are opposed to the construction of a water tank in the area. He states they feel it is located too close to the homes and would like this construction delayed until alternate sites can be considered, since the order is not finalized at this time. Mr. Painter states the reason for using this particular piece of land is because the County already owns it, because of the elevation and becuase the location of this tank elsewhere would cost approximately $100,000 for the.line plus land negotiations which would have to be made. He adds also that this tank has been planned for this area for years. Mrs. Noonan states that the Pocono Civic Association is not opposed to water for the County but the citizens are concerned how this tank will affect the value and enjoyment of the land and they are also concerned with the safety of such a tank so close to their homes. Mr. Beale has some concern for the 1.5 million gallon tank should there be an earthquake or something of a similar nature with same being only 90-93 feet from his house. Dr. Noonan states that he feels Chesterfield County is the most beautiful place in which to lieve and he feels constructing this massive tank so that it can be seen from Route 60 is not in keeping with the way Route 60 should look. He states he feels the County could locate this tank in a less conspicuous place.~ Mr. Painter states that tanks have been located this close to houses in other areas, for example, Bon Air, Dutch Gap, etc. He states the reason the Engineering Department selected this location is because of its close proximity to the pumping station and because of the elevation of the land which enables a less expensive tank to be constructed. He states that the soil tests have not been completed and if the sub-surface tests prove negative, they certainly would not construct this tank. Mrs. Noonan asks how long it would take to construct this tank. Mr. Painter states the foundation will have already been laid when the steel comes in for the tank itself and that it would take approximately one month. Mrs. Noonan asks what type of safety features this tank would have if the pressure became too great. Mr. Painter states that an overflow tube would be installed to eliminate this type of problem. Mr. Beale inquires what were the results of the first soil tests. Mr. Painter states that the first 20 foot of soil was firm and the soil became softer as they went deeper. Mr. Beale again emphasizes the fact that this tank can be seen from Route 60 and states that is the Civic Association's main objection. Mrs. Noonan states that the Civic Association feels that because the land is so high a number of homes will view this tank, they do not want to give directions to their homes based on the location of the tank and some had concern for their television reception. She states they are willing to employ an engineer at their~ own expense to investigate other possible sites. It is generally agreed that the Civic Association's designee work along with the Engineering Department to investigate other possible locations for this water tank and if nothing else is found to be feasible, the Engineering Department will continue as planned. Mr. Myers states that the water in Bermuda District is bad and would like something done about it. He states he could have had a delegation present at the meeting but nothing could have been said that hasn't been said already. He states that possibly at the present time nothing can be done but he wants this situation remedied so that it will not happen in the future. The Board discusses the possibility of pumping water from Falling Creek, Swift Creek or buying water from the City of Richmond with the Engineering Department. It is generally agreed that the Engineering Department should concentrate time and manpower into this matter and work out a solution as quickly as possible. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that, upon the recommendation of the Engineering Department, the following Water Contracts be i~ and they hereby are approved: W74-67D Sycamore Square Shopping Center $22,017.50 Fred W. Barnes Construction Co., Inc. W74-68D Huguenot Office Building 2,264.00 Stamie E. Lyttle Co., Inc. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. It is generally agreed by the Board that the developers of Loch Braemer Sub- division will pay $100 for water meters because of the off-site location of water lines and according to established policy. Mr. Painter states they have received four bids for the Lime Handling Facility at the Swift Creek Plant. He states that the low bid is $740 less than the next lowest bid but there is a difference of 45 days which will save the County $840. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that, upon the recommendation of the Engineering Department, the contract for the Lime Handling Facility be awarded to Bridgeforth Construction Company in the amount of $113,740 and work to be completed in 320 days. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, it is resolved that, upon recommendation of the Engineering Department, the following Sewer. Contracts be and they hereby are approved: S74-53D Kingswood & Meadows, Section "B" $76,197.00 McLane Construction Company S74-57D Route 360 YMCA Stamie E. Lyttle Co., Inc. S74-58D Huguenot Office Building 9,580.50 Stamie E. Lyttle Co., Inc. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr· Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill On motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that Change Order No. 1 for Contract S73-31T, Timsbury Creek, be and it hereby is authorized in the amount of $15,607.85 to allow for the increase in pipe to ultimate size. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Painter states that the Change Order No. 2 for Contract S73-25T to increase the capacity of the Ashton Creek Pump Station has been authorized all along but that they were waiting on the prices. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, it is resolved that the Change Order No. 2 for Contract S73-25T, Ashton Creek Pump Station, be authorized in the amount of $116,686. Ayes: Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Abstention: Mr Horner. Mr. Welchons states that the survey on the Gravelbrook-Trampling Farms area has been completed and of the 140 homes, 76 have returned requesting sewer. He states this represents 54.3%. He states the estimated cost of sewer service to this area will be approximately $499,834. He that if the states percent that signed are the ones who will be receiving sewer, the cost will be approximately $6,577 per connection and that if all the homes were to connect the cost would be approximately $3,570. Mr. Apperson states that he had understood from some of the residents that they had not been contacted. It is generally agreed that the Engineering Department will continue to investigate the possibility of additional connections to this project. Mr. Jerry Simonoff, Assistant Executive Director of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission, comes before the Board to discuss 208 Sewer Planning. Mr. Simonoff states that Congress passed a bill for approximately $1,000,000 to enable jurisdictions, who would otherwise be unable to cooperate fully, to get together and plan for storm water run-off which is the major cause of flooding. He states that unlike the 3c Study, which was done on a State basis and Federally controlled, the Water Control Board would act strictly in an advisory capacity and the localities would be responsible to EPA. He states there would be a Policy Board composed of representatives of the jurisdictions involved in this Study which would be Planning Districts 15 and 19. He states that this would also pick up on facility planning and coordination of study on mutual problems with neighboring counties and cities. The Board inquires how long this study would take to complete. Mr. Simonoff states that it is not a long-range plan as such. He states in two years EPA will expect to see where you are and how much has been accomplished. Mr. Horner inquires as to how many have actually agreed to this contract. Mr. Simonoff states seven of nine jurisdictions in Crater and two of eight jurisdictions in Planning District 15 have agreed. He states that representatives have been appointed to attend the first meeting which is scheduled for Monday, September 30th, but that scheduling of the different Board meetings has prevented each from adopting this contract but that they do expect all to sign. Mr. Simonoff states that this is subject to a 10% liability by EPA if the plan is not progressing as it should and is cut-off. This liability will be on the money spent and will be divided 17 ways. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this Board accept the con-tract for 208 Planning and authorize the Chairman and Clerk to sign same. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that Mr. Horner be appointed the County's representative and that he is hereby authorized to appoint an alternate. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Horner appoints Mr. Myers as his alternate. Mr. Simonoff states the first meeting will be on Monday, September 30, at 12:00 at the Holiday Inn in Chester. Mr. William Steinmetz of the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission comes before the Board to discuss Transportation Planning for Chesterfield County. He states that $96,656 is needed to carry out proper planning in the field of transportation for Planning District 15. He states the last report was done in 1962 and is outdated. He states that the Richmond Regional Planning District ~ Commission and other jurisdictions in Planning District 15 have signed a contract with the Planning Commission in past years while Chesterfield County had a separate agreement with the Highway Department. He states that what they are asking is that Chesterfield establish a similar relationship with the Planning Commission as has the other jurisdictions in the Planning District and agree to pay $1,863 as the County's share based on estimated population figures. He states that between $1,000-$2,000 will be coming back into the County each year for transportation planning so, in fact, the County will not be losing money but gaining. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that the following resolution be and it hereby is adopted: BE IT RESOLVED, by the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors that the responsibility for the continuing, comprehensive and coordinated transportation planning process for the northern portion of the County be and it hereby is delegated to the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Chesterfield's cost of the process shall be based on its proportionate share of the population within the study area based on the most current estimates; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chairman and the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors are hereby empowered to execute an agreement with the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission for this process for the Richmond Region subject to County land use maps provided to the Commission at a scale of 1" = 4,000'. (A copy of the agreement is filed with the papers of this Board.) Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that since the four Rescue Squads have requested this change, the following Ordinance be and it hereby is approved: An Ordinance to amend~and reordain Chapter iA, Section lA-3 of the Code i~ of the County of Chesterfield, Virginia, providing for age limit of members and · further providing exception as to junior rescue squad members.

S. 60 and lying between Walton Park Road and the Plantation Pipe Line Company easement. Refer to Tax Map Section 26 (1) parcel 21 (Sheet 7). On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this with- drawal request be and it hereby is accepted. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S089 Mr. George E. Wilson, Jr. requests the rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Community Business (B-2) of a parcel of land located approximately 1,600 feet north of the intersection of Huguenot Road and Olde Coach Drive and better known as 1601 Huguenot Road. T. M. 16-4 (1) 10-1 (Sheet 7). The applicant or his representative is not present to discuss this case. Several citizens of the Olde Coach Civic Association are present to oppose the request. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, this request be and it hereby is denied. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S103 Mr. George Parkman comes before the Board representing the Rev. A. Charles McElroy and Shiloh Baptist Church for the rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-7) of a parcel of land of irregular shape, containing 15.2 acres, lying approximately 150 ft. off the south line of Hickory Road and being located approximately 600 feet west of the intersection of Matoaca Road and Hickory Road. T~ M. 173-10 (1) 11 (Shett 48). Mr. Parkman states that Mr. Howard Thomas has withdrawn his objection since they have assured him they will not try to eliminate his hog farm after the homes have been built. Rev. McElroy states that this project is for low to moderate income families in the Church. He states they will be forming a non-profit corporation and will receive financial aid from the Federal Government. Mr. O'Neill inquires about the sewerage treatment plant. Mr. Parkman states that FHA will allow $60,000 for this plant since County sewer is not available in the area now. Mr. O'Neill inquires if FHA would consider contributing more than $60,000 if the County would extend the trunk to this area. He states this would eliminate the operating costs and maintenance to this facility which may not operate in an efficient manner. Mr. O'Neill asks what the yearly cost of operating this plant is expected to be. Mr. Parkman states approximately $14,000 per year. Mr. O'Neill states that the County has bond funds for $330,000 and that the cost of this sewer extension would be $500,000. Mr. Parkman states that he does non think FHA will contribute the entire $170,000 but that he will inquire as to the possibility of the $60,000 being increased. On motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this case be deferred for 30 days to allow Mr. Parkman to contact FHA to investigate the possibility of the sum of $60,000 for the treatment plant being increased to allow Mr. Painter to contact Mr. Dawson and Mr. Huneycutt to investigate the possibility of their contributing toward this extension also. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr~ Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S104 Mr. David M. White, representing Bremner, Youngblood & Sharpe, Inc. comes before the Board requesting the rezoning from Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-15) to Residential (R-25) of three (3) parcels of land of irregular shape containing 42.2 acres, lying along a line south of Stonehenge Subdivision (Section B) and being located at the eastern terminus of Bondurant Drive. T.M. 28-8 (1) 2, 3, and 4 (Sheet 7). Dr. Walter Gannon, along with seven residents of the Stonehenge Subdivision, come to oppose this request. Dr. Gannon states that this is basically the same request as before and he feels it should be denied for the same reasons. He states the traffic on the one access road would be unbearable and this would also decrease the safety of the residents of the area. He states that if this were approved, there would be nothing to prevent the areas around this parcel from also being rezoned and thus using the same single access road of Edenberry Drive. Mr. Krepela states that he has talked with Mr. Pinchbeck and his attorney and it seems that if the rezoning is not granted, the land is ready for development under the present zoning. He adds this would be detrimental to the Stonehenge Subdivision. Mr. White states that he has talked with the Commonwealth's Attorney and the Board cannot legally deny rezoning because of an overly con- gested public road. Dr. Gannon states that the Board has the right to decide this case on the public safety and health of those involved. Mr. Mason states than the traffic could be one factor but that this case could not be denied on that one factor. Mr. Jack Gravins states that with the current traffic from the trucks travelling this road by those who are building the second section of Stonehenge, traffic is bad enough without adding more. Mrs. Sue Gannon states that she has called the police five times to slow these trucks down but after a short period of time, they continue to speed. Mr. Horner inquires if there is a speed limit sign there. Mrs. Gannon states it has been torn down and that it was for 45 mph which is still too high. Mr. Horner states the usual speed for residential areas is 25 mph. Mrs. Betty Case states that she lives on Farnham Drive and that she is the last house on this road and she still uses Edenberry Drive to get to Courthouse Road. She states that she feels most everyone will use Edenberry in lieu of the second access road. Mr. Krepela states that he feels the residents of this area have a right to oppose this because of !density. He states that he feels the Board should deny the request and allow the builder to develop as he sees fit. Mr. Apperson states that it was his understanding from the County Attorney that this could not legally be done. Mr. Mason states that no public road could be denied public use unless the Highway Department limited the tonage. Mr. Apperson states he feels the rezoning would be best for the residents of Stonehenge as it would upgrade the area. Mr. Hornet states he would like to see rezoning consecutive in the same areas. Mr. Krepela states that he, too, th~nks~it would be best but because of the density of the people with only one access, he would have to recommend denial. On motion of Mr. Krepela, it is resolved that this request be denied because of the limitation of only one access road to the area. Mr. Apperson states that he will have to oppose this motion because he feels the Board cannot deny this request because of the one access road. A vote being taken: Ayes: Mr. Krepelao Nays: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this rezoning request from Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-15) to Residential (R-25) be and it hereby'is approved. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr, Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S106 Mr. Charles Ross, representing Wilson Terminal Corp., comes before the Board to request the rezoning from Community Business (B-2) and Residential (R-7) to General Business (B-3) of several parcels of land of irregular shape, containing 7.6 acres, fronting approximately 360 feet on Jefferson Davis Highway, extending westwardly to a depth of approximately 1,100 feet, and being located at the intersection of Merriewood Road and Jefferson Davis Highway. T.M. 67-3 (1) 30-33, 35-41, 43 and 44-1. (Sheet 23.) Mr. Andy Massenburg comes before the Board opposing this request as these trucks come too close to the house in which his mother lives. Mrs. Hanna Davis and Mrs. Atlanta Barnett come before the Board stating that they have just beein informed that the house in which Mrs. Davis lives is on part of the land owned by Wilson Trucking Company and they do not think the house could withstand being moved. Mr. Myers states that this would ha~e to be worked out with Wilson. Mr. Ross states that he does not feel Wilson would make these people relocate or tear the house down. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this re- quest for rezoning be and hereby is approved subject to a 600 foot buffer being provided along the rear of the property line. This buffer would either be left in a natural state or if this area of the parcel has been cleared, it would be required the buffer area be planted sufficiently to obscure vision of any commercial activity resulting from development to the east. Ayes: Mr. Homer, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S107 Mr. Marty Wittersheim, representing William C. & Annie Mae Epperson, requests the rezoning from Residential (R-7) and Community Business (B-2) to General Business (B-3) of four parcels of land of rectangular shape, containing 3.7 acres, fronting approximately 450 feet on Willis Road, extending northwardly to a depth of approximately 400 feet, and being located approximately 150 feet east of the intersection of Willis Road and Jefferson Davis Highway. T.M. 81-8 (1) 12, 12-2, 12-3 and 14 (Sheet 23). There appears no one in opposition. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, it is resolved that this request be and it hereby is approved subject to the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S108 Mr. Jerry L. Campbell requests the rezoning from Heavy Industrial (M-3) to General Business (B-3) of a parcel of land of irregular shape, containing five acres, fronting approximately 325 feet on Coxendale Road, extending eastwardly to a depth of approximately 600 feet and being located approximately 1,000 feet east of the intersection of Coxendale Road and the Richmond Petersburg Turnpike. T. M. 98-7 (1) 4 (Sheet 32). Mr. Campbell states that the Planning Commission wanted the deed of conveyance for the road widening before he could obtain the building permit and he states that he would prefer that this be changed to the occupancy permit as they are ready to begin construction and he needs 12 persons' signatures on this deed. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this request be approved subject to the other conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74Slll Mr. Beverly Webb of Travis Realty comes before the Board representing Consolidated Sales Co., Inc. to request the rezoning from Convenience Business (B-l) to General Business (B-3) of a parcel of land of irregular shape, containing 2.5 acres, fronting approximately 725 feet on Huguenot Road, extending southwardly to a depth of approximately 700 feet, and being located approximately 500 feet west of the intersection of Robious Road and Huguenot Road. T.M. 8-16 (1) 5 (Sheet 2). Mr. Krepela states that three years ago this was denied because of the horrendous traffic congestion in this area and he feels the situation has not improved. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this request be and hereby is denied. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74Sl13 Mr. Robert W. Murphy requests a Conditional Use to permit the operation of a dog kennel on a parcel of land located approximately 700 feet southeast of the intersection of Old Hundred Road and Otterdale Road and better known as 1907 Otterdale Road. T. M. 35 (1) 9-6 (Sheet 12). Mr. Charles Beddow comes before the Board and states that Mr. Stigall, his client, does not objecn now but if he were to seel his lots later, he might. He inquires of Mr. Murphy what are his future plans. Mr. Murphy states that he will phase the kennel out or move if the land is developed. He states also that if . houses are built and the owners object, he will remove the dogs. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this conditional use be granted to house six dogs for a period of one year and this request is subject to the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mrs. Spencer comes before the Board stating that at the time she gave the County right-of-way to lay the water and sewer lines she was told she would receive a free connection. She states that the County is now unwilling to do this. She states that he land has been torn up and if she had known the County would do this much damage, she would not have given permission with or without the free connection. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the County appropriate $300 to Mrs. Spencer in lieu of a free connection. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. On motion of Mr. Horner, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that, upon the recommendation of the Engineering Department, the County will obtain the necessary easements for the installation of certain sewer lines into the Bexley Subdivision and to give off-site rebates for the cost of constructing these sewer lines according to policy.
