Mr. Painter stated that he would like the Board to be aware
that the Utilities Department wants to change their procedure
of discontinuing the installation of water service lines in
new subdivisions by the County and have this work performed by
the developers' contractors at the same time the water mains are
constructed. He added that County forces would continue to
install individual services on existing lines. He cited reasons
such as the backlog that is usually one week to six weeks
behind, training personnel to do this type of work, equipment
maintenance costs will be red~ced, the critical storage problem
will be somewhat alleviated, this would allow County forces to
concentrate on installing more water lines and it would allow
more time to perform necessary maintenance work and improve the
total maintenance program. Mr. Bookman inquired how the
developers felt about this. Mr. Painter stated some were in
favor of it and some were not. He added it w~ll cost the
developer about $100 more a lot using this procedure. Mr. Bookma
stated he felt an adjustment of fee should be considered.

consider at the October 25, 1978 meeting and then the public

the land and neither was accepted. He stated further that the

the quali~y of ~ork the~-County would be doing would not affect
that of the Highway Department. After further discussion of
the matter, it was on motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by
Mr. Bookman, resolved that the Utilities Department move
forward with the paving of Milhorn and South Streets and
the streets in Gatewood and SpringHill by receiving bids and
further that the Utilities Department is authorized to award
this.contract to thelowest bidder and that the contract may
be divided if necessary in order to net the lowest cost which
may be needed since the two areas are such a distance apart.

could be gained to build a new building. It was generally
agreed that Mr. Painter should include this item in next year's
budget.
Mr. Meiszer stated the Board had received two requests from
the School Board. Mrs. Girone stated she felt the request for
water to Watkins Elementary School needed further study with
regard to the number of fire hydrants that were needed and
whose responsibility it was to finance this water line.
Mr. Meiszer stated the second request was to transfer monies
from the bond interest earned account to the bond fund expenditur
account. He stated the Board should decide whether the interest
earned would go to the School System or if it should be used
to pay off the debt service and further who is responsible for the financial
management of the funds. After further consideration of the requests, it
was on motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Dodd, resolved that these

accepted an agreement between the County and Brandermill, the
developers of Barnes Spring Subdivision, and authorized the
County Administrator to sign a save-harmless agreement with
the Department of Highways and Transportation for certain

Mrs. Girone stated she would like the Board to appropriate
$100 to the Youth Services Commission and the Chesterfield
County Heritage Commission ~o cover miscellaneous expenses
such as mailing, printing and copying material relating to their
meetings and activities. Mr. O'Neill stated he felt a matter
of this nature could be handled administratively and not require
Board action since the Board sanctioned the establishment of
such groups, Mr. Micas stated that ~hen each resolution was
adopted establishing the Commission it was with the understanding
that there would be no Cost to the County and would not require
additional staffing. Mr. O'Neill stated that was true but
such services as printing, mailing and copying were not
considered a cost but more of an in-kind contribution. Mr. Micas
stated that if that was the intent at the time the two Commission
were established then the County Administrator could handle
these matters administratively.

There was no opposition present. Mr. Dodd stated he did not
think this area should go residential because it is the last
interchange along 1-95 that can be developed, that if homes
are constructed in this area they will not be compatible with
other development in the area, and that a large foundry will
be co~ing into the area soon. Mr. Bookman suggested that
perhaps the owners of the land under consideration should be
encouraged not to develop this land until they see what else
is coming in. Mr. O'Neill stated he, too, felt this was poor
planning and he would like to see the developers of the land
contact Mr. George Woodall to ascertain the availability of
industrial development in this area. Mr. O'Neill added further
that people will be coming to the Courthouse to oppose any
further development of this area once homes are constructed and
if this rezoning were approved, he would like notice in
the deeds that this is an industrial area and further businesses
and manufacturing companies will be encouraged to develop in
the area. Mr. Whitman, representing the applinant, stated he
did not see any problem inserting such a notice in

In Dale Magisterial District, John E. Harris requested rezoning
from Residential (R-7) to Office Business (0) of a 2.46 acre
parcel fronting approximately 450 feet on Salem Street and located
approximately 30 feet east of its intersection with Strathmore
Road. Tax Map 53-6 (1) Parcel 2 (Sheet 16).
Mr. Harris stated residents in the area were upset because they
felt office use in the area would devalue their property. He
presented the Board with a letter from a reputable real estate
salesman with Cardinal Realty which states the value will increase
rather than decrease, there is not adequate sewers in the area
to serve the 30 units that could be conStructed under present
zoning, that there is adequate water, homes would generate more
traffic than the offices proposed and this would be a way of
protecting the residents there now from a use that could be
worse for the area.
Rev. Cawood, representing the landowners in opposition, stated
the residents are not opposed to Mr. Harris using his land if
he develops it aa residential, that they are concerned with the
increased traffic that will makethe road unsafe for children to
walk on, that the traffic will be unbearable as people will seek
short cuts through their subdivision to get where they are going
and will not use Chippenham Parkway, and that there is an access
problem to this property because people will have to go to
Hopkins and come back through the Subdivision to get to the offices
Mr. Whitt, Mr. Richard Clarke, Mrs. Delores Anderson, Mrs. Rose
Whitt and Mr. Callico spoke against this request because they
bought in a residential neighborhood and they wanted it to re-
main that way, they were concerned about the safety of their
children, that other requests for offices would be requested
across the street, there is a water pressure problem in the area,
this property would attract young people ~t night who wOuld park
in the area, delivery trucks would have to traverse these roads,
that the area would have to be lit for security purposes which
would put lights at night into peoples homes, and that homeowners
in the area will be more careful when driving so as not to hit
78-369
children playing than those coming to the offices on business.
Mr. Smm Barker was present and stated he felt the people did
not realize what an asset office businesses in the area could
be. He stated that he has developed many offices in Colonial
Heights and there has never been any type of problem with
residents. He added he felt this would be a good use for the land
Rev. Cawood stated they had surveyed the area and 200 people
were opposed to this rezoning being approved. Mrs. Girone~stated
that the hours of operation would probably be 9 a,m. to 5 p.m.,
no working on Saturdays, no dogs, no additional children in the
area, and would offer a buffer from commercial zoning.
Rev. Cawood stated the people would be glad to have additional
homes built in this area rather than offices. Mr. O'Neill stated
that homes built today would average $35,000 rather than be
compatible with the $40,0D0 - $50,000 homes in the area now.
After discussion for about 2~ hours, Mr. Apperson stated he felt
other zoning could come in and be worse for the neighborhood but
he felt that if this case were approved, the people were ready
to take the matter before the Courts, He added he was concerned
for the health and safety of the people in the area with the
incraased traffic that could come. He added that this case
has caused the residents to be very emotional and this was
natural. Mr. Apperson made a motion to deny the request. There
was no second.
A vote being taken:
Ayes: Mr. Apperson.
Nays: Mr. O'Neill
Abstaining: Mrs. Girone, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Dodd.
Mr. O'Neill stated he felt there was a personality problem which
was keeping the residents and the applicant from reaching an
agreeable solution, Mrs. Girone stated she felt the people
will not be happy with R-7 development in the area and suggested
they work with the developer. Mr. Bookman stated he would like
to look at this area himself. Mrs. Girone agreed that she would
also like to ride the roads when the busses let the children
out and other times during the day. After further discussion
of the matter, it was on motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by
Mr. Dodd, resolved that this request be deferred until October
25th, at which time one spokesman from the opposition and one
represehting the applicant will be allowed to speak.
Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Bookman and Mr. Dodd.
Abstention: Mr. Apperson.

Mr. Bookman stated that paving for Milhorne Street, South
