On motion of Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Dietsch, it is resolved that a sewer ease- ment agreement on the property of the Midlothian High School recorded in Deed Book 972, page 614, be vacated since the School Board has signed a standard water ease- ~ment agreement at the required 1Qcation. Mr. Porter Vaughan comes before the Board stating that the installation of sewers in the Belmont Hills Subdivision is quite expensive and states that the sewer line ~,would serve 77 lots, eleven of which have existing homes.

Upon I! onslderatlon whereof, and on motion of Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Purdy, it is re- iisolved that this Board requests the Highway Department to give an estimate on the icost of extending the road as requested.

Mr. Calvin Major, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Crouch,comes before the Board request- ing an indefinite delay in the request for a Variance for the construction of a home on Lots 66 and 67 in the Cameron Farms Subdivision. It was generally agreed that further consideration of this matter would be delayed indefinitely. Mr. R. C. Wellman comes before the Board requesting a Variance to build a home on a~ parcel of land as J/own on area "B" on a plat recorded with the Board's papers and states that the access to this property is in question since the developer to the West has not laid out the roads to the proposed subdivision and that it would be necessary to make a temporary roadway at this time. Upon consideration whereof, and on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Martin, it is' resolved that a Variance be granted to Mr. Wellman to construct a dwelling on a parcel of land south of Little Creek Lane, subject to the granting of a deed of easement from the owner of Parcel J'A" to Parcel "B" to be approved by the Common~ wealth's Attorney and to be vacated when the alternate right-of-way is provided.

Zapar, the Assistant Principal of the Chester Intermediate School and the Seventh Grade of said School. There appear Mr. Wolff, Mr. Gilmer, Mr. Miles and Mr. Jewett, who raise the question of excessive noise by the proposed airport in the vicinity of Chesterfield Court- house. Mr. Wolff states that jet traffic will increase, the FAA wants larger airports and since there will be an increase in flights, there will be an increase in composite noise rating, the County should plan for the area around the ends of the runway. Mr. Wolff presents a record of sounds purporting to be the decibel level at various~ locations around the Courthouse and ends the statement with the request that the County make a study of the noise levels generated by the airport and develop com- patible land use plans before proceeding with the development of the airport. Mr. Jewett and Mr. Gilmer make short statements to the effect that the noise level would be greater than anticipated and the County is making a mistake by putting the airport at this location. Mr. William Shelton states that the Board of Supervisors has employed Consultants who have studied the problem thoroughly after two different airport boards have studied the needs of the County for an airport, the land was zoned, approved in the Circuit Court and there is no reason at this time to hold up this project for fur- ther studies. Mr. Ray Schepanek, from the Federal Noise Abatement Commission, states that the Federal Government will control in the future the noise generated by airplanes and that technology is making great strides in the reduction of noise in all planes. Col. Semen states again that the noise factor has been investigated thoroughly,that the areas around the airport are in Zone-1 which is that area in which essentially no complaints would be expected. Upon consideration whereof of this problem, it is on motion of Mr. Apperson, second- ed by Mr. Dietsch, resolved that the Executive Secretary be requested to study the consultants available and attempt to obtain a cost for ~ch a study of noise and lan~ use around the proposed airport.
