0
APPROPRIATION OF $1,526,224 IN ANTICIPATED STATE REVENUE
TO THE SCHOOL BQARD CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE
PURCHASE OF LAND
Mr. Stith stated that this date and time has been advertised
for a public hearing to consider appropriation of $1,526,224 in
anticipated state revenue to the School Board Capital
Improvement Fund for the purchase of real estate from Southside
Church of the Nazarene.
Mrs. Humphrey recognized Ms. Elizabeth Davis, Dale District
School Board Representative, Dr. William Bosher, and Ms. Kathy
Kitchen, from the School Board, who were present at the
meeting.
No one came forward to speak in.favor of or against this issue.
Mr. Daniel stated that two great events came from this year's
General Assembly session -- the first step in the elimination
of the car tax and the provision of dollars for school
construction. He further stated that the County had its
applications in order and, therefore, was the one of the first
to receive the car tax refund and benefit from the school
construction fund. He noted that the School Board has
recommended a variety of uses that would complement school
programs; outlined their justification and the cost benefit for
acquiring the church as compared to other alternatives; and
9/9/98
98-656
outlined an array of programs that this site would provide to
County students which currently are not provided at a central
location.
Mr. Daniel made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board
to appropriate $1,526,224 in anticipated State revenue; approve
the purchase of eight acres with improvements, from Southside
Church of the Nazarene; transfer $438,776 from the School
Capital Projects reserve; and authorize the County
Administrator to sign the contract and deed. (It is noted that
a copy of the plat is filed with the papers of this Board.)
When asked, Dr. Bosher explained that the facility will assist
with the constant need for space and specialized programs and
the facility is being offered at a great price and is in a good
location. He further stated that the cost of replicating the
space would be far in excess of the assessed value and
reiterated that the purchase price was excellent.
Mr. Barber indicated some concern that there was no one present
at the meeting to speak at this public hearing.
There was brief discussion relative to this facility relieving
overcrowding in other schools in the County and the moving of
several special programs to this facility.
When asked, Dr. Bosher stated that expenditure of these funds
would impact the overcrowding issue by the elimination of
rental of space for the present locations of the Head Start
program and the finance department. He noted that the School
Board has a year to make the transition into the facility.
When asked about rezoning for office use, Dr. Bosher stated
that the first priority for this facility would be for
educational use and that there is no plan for this facility to
be used for office space, other than that which is related to
the programs housed there. He noted that the facility is
prepared for use with only minimal renovations relating to
wiring for technology.
Mr. Warren commended Dr. Bosher and the members of the School
Board for their foresight into leading the County into the
twenty-first century and for their working relationship with
the State.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed appreciation to Dr. Bosher and the
School Board for meeting with the Board of Supervisors to
discuss administrative and facility needs. She also expressed
appreciation to Governor Gilmore for writing the legislation
that allowed school systems to have the opportunity to compete
for funds based on student population and to school staff for
their assistance in this endeavor.
Dr. Bosher stated that the Senate Finance Committee only
allowed one school division to speak in the early stages of the
legislation and that the School Board was pleased to be allowed
to speak with regards to the legislation.

17. REMAINING MOBILE HOME PERMITS AND ZONING REQUESTS
O 98SN0177 - A. T, LINEGAR, DALE DISTRICT
In Dale Magisterial District, A. T. LINEGAR requested rezoning
and amendment of zoning district map from Corporate Office (0-
2) to Community Business (C-3). A restaurant and convenience
store with gasoline sales is planned. The density of such
amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance
standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for mixed use corridor use. This request lies on
2.8 acres fronting approximately 277 feet on the east line of
Iron Bridge Road, also fronting approximately 153 feet on
Cogbill Road and located approximately 380 feet northeast of
the intersection of these roads. GPIN 776-683-2540, 3156 and
4030 (Sheets 15).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 98SN0177 and stated
that a public hearing was held on this case on July 29, 1998
and that several proffers were submitted at that time. He
further stated that the Board did not suspend the rules and
accept the proffers and, therefore, the decision of the Board
was to defer the case and continue public input only on the
additional proffers. He further stated that the Planning
Commission and staff recommends denial because the proposed
rezoning and business uses do not conform to the recently
adopted Central Area Plan.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the three additional
proffered conditions include a motor vehicle wash being
eliminated from the uses permitted on the property; two 3,000
square foot buildings on the site plan being restricted to
office use only; and additional landscaping and other specific
design measures to improve the aesthetics of the property along
Cogbill Road.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the public may only address the three
amended and/or added proffered conditions at this time.
John Cogbill, Esquire, representing the applicant, stated that
he would like to incorporate, by reference, all of the
materials and input that was given at the July 29, 1998 meeting
and acknowledged that the additional proffers are voluntary and
designed to reduce the overall intensity of the development to
98-658
9/9/98
provide better landscaping and provide clear intent with
respect to the office uses adjacent to it. He further stated
that the applicant requests that the Board approve the case as
presented, subject to the proffered conditions.
Ms. Mary Howard Sergeant, an adjacent property owner, stated
that she is still opposed to the request with the additional
proffered conditions.
Ms. Martha Kyte, a resident of Cogbill Road, stated that she is
opposed to the request.
Mr. Daniel stated that in July, 1998 there was an extensive
public hearing on this zoning case and that there are strong
feelings on both sides regarding the case. He referenced other
similar businesses located in the immediate area. He stated
that the original zoning provided for approximately 6,000
square feet of retail space and that the retail space has now
been consolidated into a single building. He stated that he
feels this request is a reasonable use within the original
concept and that he feels there is no reason to deny the
request.
Mr. Daniel then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the
Board to approve Case 98SN0177 and accept the proffered
conditions.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels there is no good reason to
grant the proposed zoning because the request is in conflict
with the Central Area Plan. He referenced the rezoning at the
entranceway to Walton Park ten years ago and the problems that
it created. He also referenced a recent zoning case that was
sent back to the Planning Commission three times for the
purpose of amending the request because it conflicted with the
land use plan. He stated that this case is incompatible with
area residential development. He noted that the main concern
cited in the recent Citizen's Satisfaction Survey was planned
and managed growth. He stated that he does not support this
request because of conflicts with the Plan, denial being
recommended by the Planning Commission, and opposition from
neighbors.
Mr. McHale stated that it is difficult to question the judgment
of the Supervisor from another district. He further stated he
is concerned with the issue of proffers and feels that approval
of this case would set a negative precedent and that,
reluctantly, he cannot support the motion.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the case represents a reinvestment
into an aging neighborhood. She referenced the Home Depot case
and stated that she had received a large amount of
correspondence regarding that case. She stated that she is
inclined to support the rezoning because of the reinvestment it
will provide in the Meadowbrook Community.
When asked if this was a case of spot zoning, Mr. Micas stated
that the property is currently zoned for certain forms of
9/9/98
98-659
business or commercial use and this request is only a
modification of the existing zoning.
Mrs. Humphrey called for the vote on the motion made by Mr.
Daniel, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to approve Case
