Hornet, Chairman Mr. Leo Myers, Vice-Chairman Mr. J. Ruffin Apperson Mr. A. J. Krepela Mr. E. Merlin O'Neill Mr. M. W. Burnett, County Admin. Also Present: Mr Mr Mr Mr Mr Mr Mr Mr Stanley Balderson, County Planner Raymond Birdsong, Eng. Assistant Morris Mason, County Attorney C. G. Manuel, Asst. County Admin. Arthur L. McBride, Acting Bldg. Insp. Robert Painter, County Engineer William Prosise, Asst. County Eng. Michael Ritz, Director of Planning Mrl . Joan Smith, Secretary Mr. Carl Wise, Director of Recreation The invocation is given by Mr. Krepela. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the minutes of August 28, September 5, 11, and 25 be and they hereby are approved with the correction noted. Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. Mr. Morris Mason, County Attorney, states that the Ordinance to close Granada Road has been duly advertised. He states that Mr.McKenney has sold his property and thus has cut-off access to the Church. He states further that it is an un- improved road. Mr. McKenney states that this road has caused the landowners many problems, especially with dust from this unpaved road. He states that the people travelling to the Church do not have legal permission to cross this land. Mr. McKenney states that he plans to convert the portion of road adjacent to his property into part of his yard. There appearing no one in opposition to this request, it is on motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, resolved that the following Ordinance be and it hereby is approved: An Ordinance to vacate a 50 foot wide stub road right-of-way and temporary turnaround, known and designated as Granada Road, in the Subdivision of Greenfield, a plat of which made by J. K. Timmons and Associates, Consulting Engineers, Richmond, Virginia, dated June 27, 1967, and recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, Virginia, the said 50 foot wide stub road right-of-way and temporary turnaround, being an unimproved extension of Granada Road, and being more particularly shown on a plat of a portion of the aforesaid Subdivision plat and adjoining property, dated September 5, 1974, made by the Engineering Department of Chesterfield County, Virginia, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and, WHEREAS, Davis L. McKenney and Joan S. McKenney, his wife, have petitioned the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County, Virginia, to vacate the unimproved 50 foot wide stub road right-of-way and turnaround known and designated as Granada Road, in the Subdivision of Greenfield, as shown shaded in red on a plat of a portion of the said Subdivision and adjoining property, dated September 5, 1974, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; 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 unimproved 50 foot wide stub road right-of-way and temporary turnaround as described above and shown shaded in red on the plat attached showing a portion of Greenfield Subdivision and adjoining property, be, and it is hereby vacated. 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 thereof, together with the plat attached, shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, Virginia. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the Ordinance on the closing of Quinnford Boulevard be and hereby is deferred for two weeks. Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Krepela. There is present a delegation consisting of approximately 40 people representing the Pocono Civic Association who oppose the location of a water tank in the Subdivision. Mr. Mason states that this site has been planned for this water pumping station and storage tank since 1967. He adds also that a conditional use should have been obtained to locate the pumping station and the tank on this property. He adds that he feels the Engineering Department will have to secure a conditional use from the Board of Zoning Appeals to make this use of this property. Mr. Ritz states that the property was zoned Agricultural at the time the Engineering Department applied for a conditional use and the Board of Zoning Appeals stated it was not necessary~ but they did not actually say, yes or no to the request. Mr. Mason states that it is his opinion the Engineering Department could go ahead with construction on this property. Mr. Fred Hinton, attorney for the Civic Association, states that they have retained Mr. Youngblood as a consultant to discuss with the Engineering Department the other alternative sites. ~He distributes copies of the plats and the opinion given by Mr. Youngblood. Mr. Apperson states that if this has to be decided by the Board of Zoning Appeals it should not be before this Board at this time. Mr. Hinton states that they are before this Board because it has the authority to chose another site. Mr. Hinton states that the best alternative the consultant found was the Mount Nebo site. He states that the additional cost would be $149,000 and that this site would be best because it is on the same elevation as the Pocon0 site, it is less populated and it could be camouflaged. Mr. Painter states that the construction cost will be $144,000 plus the foundation for the tank at Pocono and also that approximately $1,500 has been spent on land tests. Mr~ Hinton adds also that there would not be any delay by going with the Mount Nebo site. He states that they have contacted the developer of Pocono and he states that decrease in land value will occur if the tank is located as proposed. Also, the residents have gone to the expense of hiring an attorney and consultant for this project, and he feels this matte? should be given serious consideration. He states that the people of the Subdivision feel that the present zoning of Route 60 from Richmond to Pocono is detrimental to the County. Mr. Myers inquires if water was not available to the area, would that not decrease the value as well. Mr. Hinton states that is one of the reasons they have attempted to find another site~ Mr. Matt Taylor, President of the Pocono Civic Association, presents a petition signed by 175 persons in the area opposing thLs tank construction. He states there are no other tanks located this close to property owners in the County, it would be impossible to shield the tank and the value of the land in this area would decrease. Mr. Burnett asks Mr. Taylor if he has seen the tank located in Bon Air, as it is located as close as the proposed tank. Dr. Jack Noonan comes before the Board and states that he is a resident of the Subdivision and his property is adjacent to the proposed water tank site. He states that he realizes the cost factor involved but he feels the ethical aspect is more important than the legal. He states that this tank will have a tremendous effect on his family's life and others located near this tank. Mr. Krepela states that he agrees with Dr. Noonan and adds that no matter where the tank is located, there will be opposition. He inquires if the residents of the Edgehill, Shenandoah or Greenfield Subdivisions have been contacted. Mr. Hinton states that the petition carries about 20 names of persons who are opposed and who live in the Subdivisions listed. Mrs. Noonan inquires if the error of not acquiring a conditional use would have cost more money had the tank been constructed and then the legal aspects discovered. Mr. Horner states that this opinion is from one attorney and that another attorney could have a completely different opinion~on the same situation; but no matter what the decision, it would be termed as a "non-conforming use." It is generally agreed that the Engineering Department will work with the Board through the County Administrator to decide which site is best for the construction of the tank. Mr. Burnett adds that the County does not want to force this tank down anyone's throat and he does not feel they will. Mr. Harry Frampton comes before the Board and requests the Board to take action on the proposed contract between the County and Brandermill which is in support of the resolution passed 90 days ago at another meeting, and the resolution on the handling of the sewer problem until the bond is sold. Mr. Myers inquires if the County Attorney has reviewed each carefully. Mr. Mason states he has. Mr. Burnett adds that the resolution would not tie the County to the bond schedule. Mr. Myers states he has read it over and it concurs with his thinking. He adds further that the school is his main concern and that he does not feel the County is subsidizing Brandermill. On motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the following resolution be and it hereby is approved: WHEREAS, in order to provide sewer service to the Clover Hill High School~and Brandermill by January 1, 1976~ the Bailey Bridge Pump Station, which requires at best approximately 15 months of design and construction time, must begin promptly. WHEREAS, since the money markets are requiring the highest rates in economic history, to issue the proposed Sewer Revenue Bond, which will finance the Bailey Bridge Pump Station, would be committing the County to pay abnormally high rates for a twenty-five year period. THEREFORE, the County of Chesterfield resolves: To commit to issue bonds upon terms to be mutually agreed upon, guaranteed by Brandermill, to fund a sewer system in Clover Hill Magisterial District, generally described as the Bailey Bridge Pump Station, the Lower Nuttree Trunk, and the Bright Hope System, including cost of construction, interest, financing, legal, engineering charges or costs, and other related costs, now estimated at $2,400,000. It is intended by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Chesterfiel~ that the adoption of this resolution shall constitute the taking of "offical action" toward the issuance of the aforementioned bonds, within the meaning of the regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1954, as amended. However, to delay the issuing of the Sewer Revenue Bond until the money market returns to normalacy (an anticipated six-month delay). 3. To proceed expediously with the final design and construction of Bailey Bridge Pump Station. To receive from Brandermill prior to beginning construction of $500,000 assignment of the Brandermill loan from The Equitable as security for the County, which the County will release as of the issuing of the Sewer Revenue Bond. To allocate the School Board's $200,000 investment toward the sewer program to the Bailey Bridge Pump Station as additional security if Brandermill did not move forward. To authorize Brandermill to proceed with the design and construction of the Lower Nuttree Trunk and the 1,000-unit Bright Hope Gravity/Pump Station System if it is determined by the County that the Gravity Trunk Sewer is not to be used. To refund to the County and Brandermill the construction and interest costs incurred by each on the project upon the sale of the proposed bonds and from the proceeds of the said bonds. Interest rebates to Brandermill and the County will be calculated at the amount of interest rate the bond carries. 8. The Bond Schedule will be subject to change, if necessary. Mr. Apperson adds that he feels any further delay would lead to a $200,000 deficit. Mr. Krepela states that he will have to abstain because he did not and does not approve of the concept of private industry and the County joining together, and now the same private industry has taken over and is wagging the County instead of the situation being reversed. Mr. Apperson states that Swift Creek would not exist if it had not been for Brandermill and he states it gives him a comfortable feeling to be able to help other areas in times of disaster. He states he did have misgivings in the beginning as to financing and developing of a recreational facility but now'they are looking toward future development in the area. Mr. Krepela states he does agree that the Swift Creek Reservoir is good and in the best interest of the County, but as he said before, it is the concept to which he is. objecting. Mr. Apperson states that this was the cheapest way to handle the situation Mr. Myers states that if the Reservoir had not been developed, everyone might be drinking bad water. Mr. Burnett states that if this Reservoir had not been developed, the County could possibly be drinking Richmond water. Mr. Myers states that he would not be in favor of this if it were to serve Brandermill only but it will serve others. A vote being taken: Ayes: Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr. O'Neill. Abstentions: Mr. Horner and Mr. Krepela. Mr. Homer inquires if Mr. Covington could be present at the Board meetings at 9:00 a.m. in lieu of 10:00 a.m. Mr. Covington states that would be fine. Mr. Ritz states that further approval for the Salisbury Hillcrest "A" is needed f®r the 20 foot wide minimum pavement because the Board has never approved the new Virginia Department of Highways Standards. Mr. Apperson states that he does not feel these standards are best because they encourage the development of cul-de-sacs and he is concerned about this. He states that on Dorsey Court, for example, cul-de-sacs back up to each other and he feels this is very poor planning because residents can barely get out of the Subdivision. Mr. Ritz states that the case cited was years ago and that it has been and will continue to be the Planning Department's policy to insure that adequate access roads are provided. On recommendation of the Planning staff and the County Administrator, it is on motion of Mr. Myers, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved that the following resolution be and it hereby is adopted: WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Highways has notified the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors by letter dated November 28, 1973, of additional standards to supplement the subdivision road standards initially set forth on October 3, 1968; and WHEREAS, this Board has established some minimum road standards in the "Subdivision and Drainage Memorandum"; and WHEREAS, this Board believes that the standards set forth in the November 28, 1973, letter are reasonable and in the public interest. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors accepts and adopts the Supplementary Subdivision Standards dated November 28, 1973, and hereby gives notice that where the Standards are in conflict with the Subdivision and Drainage Memorandum, that the Standards will apply except that no less than 40 feet of right-of-way will be acceptable unless specifically approved by the Board of Supervisors. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers and Mr. O'Neill. Nays: Mr. Krepela. Abstention: Mr. Apperson. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this Board accepts an agreement between the County and the Salisbury Corporation and authorizes the Chairman to sign a save-harmless agreement with the Highway Department for certain drainage easements that may be necessary to acquire in the Salisbury Development, Section H-5. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Prosise comes before the Board and states that all road work on Clintwood Road and the balance of Section "C" in the Lake Genito Subdivision has been com- pleted. He states that there still exists a few incidentals that will be completed. He states that the Highway Department will advise him when the roads are completed and he will then ask the Board to request the roads be taken into the State System. Mr. Myers inquies what will happen if they are not completed by November 1. Mr. Prosise states that the County can construct everything but paving and that if at the next meeting the paving is completed, the incidentals can be completed later. Mr. Burnett states he has a proposed save-harmless agreement from Mr. Rudolph. Mr. Prosise states that the Highway Department does not need this now but they will in the future. On motion of Mr. Horner, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this Board accepts an agreement between the County and Curtis L. Rudolph and authorizes the Chairman to sign a save-harmless agreement with the Highway Department for certain drainage easements that may be necessary to be acquired in the Lake Genito Development. Ayes: Mr. Hornet, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Prosise states that he will ask that these roads be accepted into the State SysCem when the Highway Department notifies him of their approval. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that Kendale Acres Addition and Belmont Parkway Apartmmnt "Phase II", be and they hereby are requested to be taken into the State System: KENDALE ACRES ADDITION Alfaree Road Beginning at a point 0.06 mile north of its interesection with State Route 2064, northerly 0.05 mile to its intersection with Darlene Street, thence northerly 0.10 mile to its intersection with Progress Road, thence northerly 0.13 mile to a temporary turn-around. 0.34 mi.

On motion of Mr. Horner, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that this Board accepts an agreement between the County and E. M. Ciejeck, Inc. and authorizes the Chairman to sign a save-harmless agreement with the Highway Department for certain drainage easements that may be necessary to be acquired in the 60 West Commercial Plaza Development, Section "C". Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Prosise states that the Highway Department has been returning resolutions requesting roads be taken into the State System. He states they cannot get the developers to do the incidentals. He states he would like to continue working with the developers until the next meeting and if they are unable or fail to complete the work, the County may contract out the work necessary and bill the developers. Mr. Myers states that he feels the developers should do the work to begin with and that the County should stop babysitting them. It is generally agreed that Mr. Prosise continue working with the developers and that each of the developments will be reviewed at the next Board meeting. On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that condemnation proceedings be instituted against the McNulty Corporation and Mr. Raymond F. Ivey to acquire certain drainge easements for the School Board on Hopkins Road across from tha new school site, if negotiation is required. Ayes: M~ Homer, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Burpe~t states that he has a letter from the Virginia Department of Highways regarding the Powhite Expressway. He states that he would like the Board to pass a resolution asking the Highway Department to hold a Public Hearing on Line "E" of the Proposed Powhite Expressway'~o that the County will not hold this corridor open unnecessarily. " Mr. Krepela states that the extension was not in the 10 Year Program and that it was his understanding that this was to be the ~1 priority. Mr. Burnett states that the County has had numerous meetings in which this was discussed and it was emphasized that this roadway should have the highest priority in the County. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the extension of Powhite Parkway be placed in the 10 Year Program with the State Highway Department as soon as possible and that in order to clear up any misunderstandings concerning the route of this trafficway that the Highway Department be requested to hold a Public Hearing on Line "E" or any other feasible route for this proposed road so that positive planning can be accomplished and if the Highway Deparment will not hold a Public Hearing to establish the route of this proposed road, the County of Chesterfield may have to alter its decision to deny building permits on Line "E" of the Powhite Extension. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. ~. Roger Cones comes before the Board and presents a petition signed by 269 residnets of the area. Mr. Krepela states this is the section of Bon Air in which the developer went or was in the process of going bankrupt when he was in the area installing sewer for the County. He states that the Highway Department does not feel this is their problem as the road was torn up for the construction of the County sewer. Mr. Cones states that the roads are in such bad shape that one side is impassable and vehicles have to travel the wrong side. Mr. Painter states that the roads were in bad shape prior to sewer construction. He states that the Highway Department was supposed to pave this road but held off due to the construction of sewer. Mr. Burnett asks Mr. Covington if this could be a cooperative effort between the County and the Highway Department. Mr. Covington states that since they decided to hold off on this road, it has been rescheduled for next year. Mr. Krepela inquires if the road was patched reasonably well, would that satisfy the ~esidents until the Highway Department came in and resurfaced same. Mrl Cones states that anything would be a help. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the County patch the road to a reasonable degree and do the necessary corrective work ~prior to bad weather to eliminate this bad situation until the Highway Department resurfaces next year. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Sam Wagstaff compliments the Board for the interest and time they have taken to improve the conditions of three bridges and Reams and Courthouse Roads. He also adds that Providence Road is a shame and disgrace to the County and some improvements should be made. Mr. Krepela states that he feels something should be done on Depot Road as the children have to walk to the end of the road to catch the school bus as an adequate turn-around is not provided. He states he has received an estimate from the Highway Department in the amount of $1,759. On motion of Mr. Krepela, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that the Highway Department is requested to make this improvement to Depot Road to be paid from the 3¢ Road Funds of Midlothian District. Ayes: Mr. Horner, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson~ Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. Mr. Krepela states that he has received numerous complaints regarding the rail- road crossing at Otterdale. He states the people cannot see, especially those travelling from north to south. Mr. Covington states that the site should not be a problem as it is flat and there are not curves but that he will investigate the matter further. Mr. Myers states that he has' received communications from the Highway Department that they have appropriated $10,000 to do a primary study of Route 10 through Chester. Mr. Oscar Napier and Mr. Dick November come before the Board to discuss the possibility of the County reimbursing them for connections to the sewer system since they will not be able to use 14 lots due to the possibility of the Powhite Expressway reserving land for a possible site. He states the cost of the sewer system is $15,300 and that they will be using only $6,640 for actual sewer. He would like the County to reimburse the difference of $8,660 for other off-site work and if at a later date they are able to sell the land to the Highway Department or others, they will reimburse the County up to $8,660. Upon consideration of the matter, it is generally agreed that this matter will be deferred. The Board adjourns for lunch. Reconvening: 74S139 Mr. Adams, representing Mr. Moton J. Burks, Jr., requests a Variance to build a dwelling on a parcel of land which has no public road frontage. This parcel is located 331 feet off the west line of Courthouse Road measured from a point approximately 1~450 feet north of its intersection with Route 679. Tax Map Sec. 38-15 (1) part of Parcel 14 (Sheet 14). Mr. Ritz states that almost all of this parcel being considered is in a 100 year flood plain. He inquires if Mr. Adams could possibly consider locating this dwelling behind the present dwelling. Mr.~ Adams states that he did not necessarily want to do this but that he might consider it. He also adds that~ he does not want this to be a public road. Mr. Ritz states that it does not have to be a public road. On motion of Mr. Hornet, seconded by Mr. Myers, it is resolved that this request be continued to allow Mr. Adams time to consider another location. Ayes: Mr. Homer, Mr. Myers, Mr. Apperson, Mr. Krepela and Mr. O'Neill. 74S140 Mr. A. C. Frame, Jr. requests a Variance to build a dwelling on a parcel of land which has no public road frontage.
