On motion of the Board, the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, the two cent State gas tax increase enacted by
the 1980 General Assembly will not provide sufficient revenue
to meet highway construction needs throughout the Commonwealth
of Virginia; and
Whereas, Highway traffic continues to increase in growing
metropolitan areas in spite of national and state trends of
declining highway traffic; and
Whereas, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors
addressed the problem of declining highway funds and increasing
highway traffic by supporting toll-funding for highway projects
in Chesterfield County; and
Whereas, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors is not
aware uf any plan of action adopted by the State Highway
and Transportation Commission to provide sufficient funding
to meet highway needs and accommodate growth in Chesterfield
County or throughout the Commonwealth; and
Whereas, the conclusions and recon~endations of the
1-95 Location and Preliminary Design Study show western route
alternatives which cost as much as $25 million less than the
recommended eastern route alternative; and
Whereas, the Richmond metropolitan area continues to
grow westwardly creating regional highway needs that are
better served by western 1-95 alternative.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors requests the Virginia Highway and
Transportation Commission to reconsider their decision to
construct an eastern route of 1-95 in light of the fact that
a western route can save millions of dollars, will meet the
highway needs of metropolitan growth in central Virginia, and does

County if construction of an eastern 1-95 is to proceed.

Mr. John Smith was present representing the applicaats. He
stated that this case had been handled improperly from the
beginning and discussed instances whereby he felt information wa~
not adequately assembled. Mr. Dodd stated he felt this was
not relative to the case to be heard by the Board today.
Mr. Smith distributed a list of proffered conditions from the
applicant as well as plats of the area. He cited s~mflar
zoning approved for Sycamore Square within the past two years
and stated there was no screening or setback required; he indica
design style on slides of the proposed buildings; he outlined th~
traffic pattern in the area, the parking which has existed and
the entrance onto Mt. Pisgah Drive; ~nd stated he felt this
was a reasonable use of the land and it is not as great a
use as some others in Chesterfield County.
Mr. Oliver Rudy, attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Murray, was present. Re stated this case has been continuing
for a year now, the original request was denied and the
applicant has submitted a revised plan. He stated a revised
plan is still not before the Board today. Be asked that those
people present in opposition be recognized. Approximately
25 people stood in opposition to this request. Mr. Rudy stated
the concerns are the same: this would be spot zoning; the
proposed density is out of character with the area; a
drainage problem exists and the applicant is not showing any
respect for the historical integrity of the area. Mr. Rudy
stated the proffered conditions did not amend the plan of
development. He added that the residents have attended meetings
intending to discuss a particular plan, only to find another
is presented.
Mr. Walter McFarland of Mt. Pisgah Church stated this would
set a precedent. He stated he felt to approve a case such
as this which is not prepared or outlined properly would set
a precedent. He stated that the Planning Commission has
reviewed this and recommended denial. He stated that he was
concerned about the intensity of the use of the land, that
this would virtually wipe out Old Midlothian Village and
that they were willing to compromise and went more than half-
way but the applicant will not compromise. Re stated he
felt denial was in the best interest of all concerned.
Mr. Ed Wiley, representing the Midlothian Civic League, was
present. He stated that Mr. Smith has been unwavering in
his position. He stated that the applicant has a lack of respec
for the community and church, that there are no proper buffers;
etc. He stated he felt this was not ready for Board considerati,
and that the applicant has not tried to cooperate with the
adjacent landowners.
Mrs. Alice Newland voiced her opposition to this request. She
stated that the area residents are apprehensive because they
do not know what is planned for the area or who the purchasers
are. She asked also that if the case were deferred or denied
that it be accomplished in such a manner that would not allow
it to be heard again prior to 6 months.

~r. Doug Woolfolk stated his opposition because plans would
allow entrances through residential property, drainage would
have to be routed through another's property, that there is
supposedly an "anonymous" purchaser

Mr. Smith stated that all adjoining property owners were not
opposed and submitted a petition signed by 15 people who
were in support or neutral regarding this request.
Mrs. Girone stated she appreciated the cooperative spirit
and attitude of the community. She stated that there had
been 7 documented meetings and more that are not documented
over a period of a year. She stated the land has been zoned
B-2 and Residential (R-7) for the past thirty years which
she felt was proper. She stated that the applicant's plan
fails to provide proper land use transition between heavy
commercial uses along Route 60 and the single family residential
]and uses to the north, south, east and west. She stated
that ehs felt this constituted spot zoning. She added that
proper consideration has not been given to adequate internal
and external traffic circulation, buffering, landscaping,
architectural design, overcrowding of the land and the historic
character of the Village of Midlothian.
On motion of Mrs. Girone, seconded by Mr. Daniel, this request
was denied.

Mr. Dodd called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. for a
public hearing relating to water connection fees for outside w~ er
services, service charges for consumption of water and for
sewer user charge service rates. Mr. Dodd stated that the
Board would not make a decision tonight as to what She new
charges would be but would listen to input from citizens.
Mr. Painter stated that the increases must come to avoid shorta
in water and a moritorium on sewer. Mr. Charles QuaffS,
Superintendent of Accounts and Records, explained to
those present that the water and sewerage facilities are operat
and financed independently of each other. Some personnel are
involved in the operation and maintenance of both utilities and
salaries are prorated based on the time devoted to each. He
stated the water utility has projected revenue from service
charges for fiscal year 1980-81 in the amount of 83,905,000.
Operating expenses are estimated at $2,778,344 and debt service
is estimated at $1,086,950 (County share of this debt is
$813,130.84).
He stated the major capital expansions are financed with revenu~
bonds. Small improvements and expansions are financed with
revenue generated by connection fees and revenue in excess
of operating and debt service. The total outstanding debt for
the water utility as of June 30, 1980 was $12,505,000. A study
of the operating results for the water utility, since the last
rate increase on July 1, 1977, indicates that the operating
revenues have been sufficient to pay all operating expenses and
debt service charges. The bend resolution requirement provid-
ing for a minimum debt coverage of 140% has been met each
fiscal year. Based on this study, it is recommended that the
water rates remain at the present level except for the
last two volume increments which are to be deleted.
The sewer utility has a projected revenue from service charges
for fiscal year 1980-81 in the amount of $3,850,000. Operating
expenses are estimated at $2,257,442 and debt service is estimat,
at $2,995,849 (County share $2,361,425). Total outstanding
debt for sewer utility as of June 30, 1980 was $36,850,000. Maj,>r
capital improvements are financed from the sale of general
obligation bonds. Small projects and subdivision extensions
are financed with revenue from connection fees. In order to
maintain funds available for priority extensions, it
recommended that sewer connection fees be increased in accordanc,
with the proposed schedule, a copy of which is filed with the
papers of this Beard.
A study of the operating results for the sewer utility since the
last rate increase on July l, 1977 indicates a deficiency
of revenues from service charge to meet operating and debt servi,
payments in the amount of $768,867 for fiscal year 1980-81.
In order to rectify this condition, it is necessary to increase
sewer service charges by 20%. This increase will generate
an additional $385,000 for the last 6 months Of the current
fiscal year. Additional increases in the future will be
necessary to finance bond sales for plant expansions.
Mrs. Bradberry of Bermuda District stated that residents in
the County cannot handle any additional increases. Mr. O'Neill
explained that while fuel costs, etc. are increasing for
individuals, it also is inersasing for the County.
Mr~ Jerry Armeli stated the water bills in the County are higher
than any other place he has lived in the Country. He discussed
the possibility of having existing extensions pay for new
extensions. Mr. O'Neill discussed the problems with regulatory
agencies and their refusal to grant the County necessary
capacity.

Mr. Quaiff answered questions regarding the second meter, the deb'
Service, if raises for County employees were included in this
rate increase, etc.
Mr. John Smith discussed the treatment process, infiltration,
and the cost of treating such. He inquired why the County
could not reduce the cost of the system. Mr. Linwood Lucas
inquired if there were any other methods to raise funds other
than going with this increase. Mr. Dodd stated that the Board h~
looked at ali possible alternatives. Mr. Lucas stated he
['elt the 20% increase was too high all at one time. K~r. Dodd
stated that the Board could not justify asking for a rate
increase when it was not needed. Mr. Quaiff stated it will
be normal practice in the future to reevaluate the costs and
increases each year.
~r. Daniel stated the Board was concerned with those people
living on a fixed income and had there been a way legally to help
them, it would have been done. Mr. Bookman indicated there
were two rate increases from the Appomattox River Water
Authority which were absorbed by the County since July, 1977.
Mr. Dodd thanked those present for attendance at the hearing.
Mr. O'Neill excused himself from the meeting.
On motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by ~Ir. Bookman, the Board
