each and everyone of us can fully enjoy the natural bounty of
what the land has to offer, both for ours and for future genera-
tions: the lakes, the mountains, the woods, the natural wonders
that abound in every hamlet, every farm, every town and every
city that make up this great country in the world; and
Whereas, The Realtors of the Richmond Board of Realtors have
joined with Realtors and Realtor-Associates nationwide in the
annual observance of Private Property Week . . a special week
set aside for the sole purpose of making ali Americans aware of
their right not only to own real property but aware, too, of the
obligation that each of us have in preserving this precious
heritage. For it is only when this obligation has been fulfilled
by each and every citizen that we can fully deserve to partake
in the unending bounties of pleasure available through the land.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors
of Chesterfield County hereby declares April 15-21, 1979 to be
Private Property Week and encourages its fellow citizens to join
with the Richmond Association of the National Association of
Realtors and the more than 600,000 Realtors and Realtor-Associ-

public hearing to consider the designation of a Bon Air Historic
Area. Mrs. Richardson, a member of the Bon Air Historic Society,
was present. She stated the recognition this would bring, the
Ipublic and civic pride that would evolve from this designation,
and the promotion of historic sites were the main reasons for
this request. She stated they wanted to preserve the turn-of-the-
century look in Bon Air and this designation was for the old
and original portion known as Bon Air. Mr. Micas stated this
would not preclude any zoning requests or require any additional
conditions for zoning but it could be used in the future to show
the Board's intent to keep it as a historic area. Mr. Apperson
inquired if it would affect any previous zoning. Mr. Micas
stated it would not. Mr. Bookman inquired if the old railroad
line were considered to be used for public transit, would a
decision be affected by this designation. Mr. Micas stated it woul
not. Mr. Meiszer stated that Mrs. Girone wholeheartedly endorsed
the approval of this designation and appreciates the community
effort that has brought it to this point. There bein~ no
opposition present, it was on motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded

Mr. O'Neill returned to the meeting.
Mr. Meiszer stated this time had been scheduled to consider
thm, rezoning request for Ironbridge Associates.
78S105
In Dale Magisterial District, Ironbridge Associates requested
rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-7) of 48.8
acres; to Residential (R-15) of 232.5 acres; and to Convenience
Business (B-l) of 67.6 acres; plus a Conditional Use for multiple
family development of 20.9 of the total 48.8 acres of Residential
(R-7) and a Conditional Use Planned Development for the entire
parcel. This parcel fronts approximately 4400 feet on Iron Bridge
Road and is located approximately 2400 ft. northwest of its
intersection with Chalkley Road. Tax Map 114-6 (1) parcel 1
(Sheet 31).
Mr. Jay We~nburg stated that he had met with representatives of
the Buxton-Lakewood~Farms Civic Association, Mr. Apperson,
Mr. Dodd and others with his company to discuss this c~e.
He stated they have made two changes which are agreeable to
the other landowners in the area which are:
That they will not develop more than 300,000 sq. ft. of
leasable retail floor area in the shopping center until
either the four laning of Route 10 through Chester or to
Chippenham Parkway has been committed for, or four years
from date of this approval or until a second collector road
is constructed.
That Item #35 requiring a school site be dedicated on this
parcel of land be deleted from the conditions.
Mr. Apperson inquired what the height of the highest building
would be. Mr. Wie.mburg stated none of the commercial buildings
will exceed three (3) stories in height.
Mrs. Mary Beth Cavey, President of the Buxton-Lakewood Farms
Civic Association was presen~ and expressed her appreciation
for the Board delaying action on this request which gave all
concerned time to work out their differences. She stated she
hoped that this type of cooperation with the Supervisors would
continue to exist. She stated their organization had not taken
action on the resolution presented by the Ironbridge Association.
Mr. Dodd stated he had committed himself against Chalkley Road
being used as the second collector road and would like a sentence
inserted in the condition regarding the development of 300,000
sq. ft. to indicate that the second access road would not be
Chalkley Road. Mr. Apperson stated 'that perhaps this would be
best if not addressed because there was only one lot depth to
Chalkley Road and several subdivision depths to get to Centralia
Road. After further discussion of the matter it was generally
agreed that this condition would read that the applicant shall
exhaust all other alternatives before using Chalkley Road as the
second collector road, Mr. O'Neill stated he was familiar with
Mr. Jay WBinburg and others in the organization and he felt they
would live up to anything committed and would develop a nice
area. Mr. W&lnburg stateg everything discussed was acceptable
and presented the Board with a resoluti°n~ adopted by Ironbi-idge AssociAtes
~vorin~ ~e four-laninm of Route 10 or sonm alternative route to eliminate
the traffic congestion. After further general d%§cUssfon

On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas, the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County,
Virginia, has on numerous occasions stated its support for
improved highways through Chester to Route 1/301; and
Whereas, the Board of Supervisors has, on numerous occasions
requested the State Department of Highways and Transportation
to give the aforesaid road improvement program top priority and
complete the construction of same at the earliest practicable
date; and
Whereas, the Development of Ironbridge, a planned unit
development on a 349 acre tract of land located on the north
line of Ironbridge Road and west of Chalkley Road, Chesterfield
79-173
County, Virginia, will accelerate the need to complete such
imp rovement s ·
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors
of Chesterfield County hereby notifies the State Department of
Highways and Transportation of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
that it supports the four-laning of State Route 10 through
Chester, Virginia, to U.S. Route 1/301 or some alternative route
having the least impact on residents of the area, at the earliest
practicable date in order to relieve the traffic congestion
created by virtue of the fact that a substantial portion of
U.S. Route 10 (Ironbridge Road) remains open to only two lanes
of traffic.

On motion of the Board, the following..'resolution was adopted:
Whereas, since the inception of the so-called Craigie-
Whitt~m~ Plan for acquiring a new segment of Interstate 95 through
Cheste~field County, the Board of.Supervisors of Chesterfield Cour
has advocated the location of such route in a corridor west of
Chesterfield Courthouse; and
Whereas, Numerous reasons have been advanced against such
location by consultants to the State Department of Transportation
and Highways, Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern, and others
speaking for the Department over the years intervening; and
Whereas, Many of such reasons advanced have proved to be
groundless or have, by changing circumstances or changing
regulations, been eliminated; and
Whereas, It appears that only remaining obstacles to the far
western corridor are an alleged greater travel distance from
a point south of Petersburg to a point north of Richmond and an
apparent preference for an eastern corridor; and
Whereas, Even without a detailed study of the far western
corridor, it is obvious that it would have a far less detrimental
impact on the environment, displace far fewer residential units,
have a substantially lesser impact on existing business, cost
considerably less by way of construction tax dollars, provide
immeasurably greatmr 'relief fOr local traffic which is currently
impacting and will in the future impact tO an even greater extent
existing north-south traffic lanes through the County thereby
secondly affecting the flow of interstate traffic, and, finally,
providing a north-south leg on the western side of Chesterfield
County to connect 1-85 with Route 288 the completion of which
becomes more necessary each week all of which factors offset and
outweigh any slight increase in the required travel distance.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Supervisors
of Chesterfield County reaffirms its support of the western
corridor for the construction of the new segment of 1-95 through
Chesterfield County and urges its representatives in the General
Assembly of Virginia to support such location and urges the
Highway Commission of Virginia to adopt such route.

dissatisfaction with County staff when he tried to resolve a
boundary dispute between he and his neighbor who is building a
patio several, inches onto his property. He stated he never got
any reliable and exact answers to his questions, that this matter
has cost him money and even though his neighbor has done wrong
there is no one who would stop him. He distributed copies of
correspondence with County staff and a copy of the survey of
his property. Mr. O'Neill stated this was a civil matter and
it would have to handled through the courts. Mr. Scullin stated
he did not expect the supervisors to take any action, but he did
want to voice his dissatisfaction with the way complaints were
