Mr. Bookman gave the invocation.
On motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, the Board
approved the minutes of June 11 and 18, 1980 as amended.
Vote: Unanimous
Mr. Dodd stated the next item was to consider the appointment
of the Chesterfield Toll Road Authority. He inquired if anyone
were present to discuss this matter. No one in the audience
indicated they wished to speak. Mrs. Girone inquired if the
Board had to first agree to establish an authority. Mr.
Micas stated this had been established by the General Assembly
and it was up to the Board to appoint members. Mrs. Girone
inquired if a Board of Supervisors member could be appointed.
Mr. Micas stated Section 15.1-50 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended, states that Board members cannot bold second
offices on such things as toll authorities, etc.
Mr. Bookman stated he could not see the need to appoint a
toll road authority at this time and added that if it becomes
feasible in the future, he could support it. He stated that he wa~
concerned that there were no plans for Powhite past Route 60.
He stated the feasibility study should be accomplished first.
~He added he felt there may come a time when some concessions
will need to be made by the Highway Department and there are
no cost figures available as to what this extension may cost.
He stated he did not feel Routm 288 would be built north of
Route 60 or 360 in his lifetime and if this is the case, he
could support the extension of Powhite to join Route 288 provided
it was a feasible project. He stated he thought after the
study was received and negotiations with the Highway Department
begun, he would be in support at that time. He stated he
did not feel anything would be accomplished now. He stated
he felt the Board should take time to consider names and act
rationally.
Mrs. Girone inquired if the Board had defined the scope of
the feasibility study as requested by the Highway Department.
O~ ·
Mr. Nezll suggested that the scope include from Route 150 to
the proposed Route 288 corridor as shown c~ the map and then
southward along the proposed Route 288 to the intersection with
Route 360 and possibly any other roads that may be needed in the
future.
Mrs. Girone inquired if once the toll road authority was appointed,
could they decide on the routes to be studied and redefine the
project. Mr. Micas stated that the Board would not have
any legal authority over the toll authority or what they
decided.
80-305
Mrs. Girone inquired what their role would be for the next 12 mont~s,
what type of office, personnel, etc. they would need and who
would bear the cost. Mr. Meiszer stated that the Board
could establish a separate budget account for them because
if and when the bonds are issued, these expenses will be
reimbursed to the County. Mr. Micas stated that the authority
had been set up with payment of $25 per person a day when meeting
and expenses. Mrs. Giroue inquired if a director would be
hired. Mr. O'Neill stated that the Board would have to loan
the authority funds for anything proposed to be done. Mr.
Dodd stated this authority could go to a bank and borrow
money as the Richmond Petersburg Authority did. He stated
that he would never vote to pay for this road out of taxpayers
money. Mrs. Girone stated that if a reasonable supplement
were needed, she could possibly vote in favor of it. Mr.
O'Neill stated he would never subsidize the roadway with
taxpayers money. Mrs. Girone stated she did not feel this
roadway would be built using this mechamism--that we are giving aw~y
our negotiating power with the Virginia Department of Highways and
Transportation. She stated she felt the Highway Department
would like to see the authority established, then they will
check this $100,000,000 project off their list of responsibilities
She stated she felt the Board should wait for the study,
begin negotiations with the Highway Department for right-of-
way acquisition, maintenance, etc. and then appoint the
authority when a satisfactory sharing of costs is reached. She
stated she felt if this is begun at this time and is not
successful, then the project would lose its position in
funding and lose two years of appropriations. She stated
she felt this was being done at the wrong time~ She stated
that funds designated for the right-of-way and the engineering
is being transferred tO accomplish this feasibility study.
Mr. O'Neill made a motion that the initial study be defined
as what is better known as Line E which is from Route 150 to
the proposed Route 288 corridor as shown on the map and southward
along the proposed Route 288 to its intersection with Route 360.
Mr. Bookman made a substitute motion including the areas
indicated by Mr. O'Neill and also from Route 360 to 1-95.
Mrs. Girone inquired if the authority could change the scope
of the project. Mr. O'Neill stated that they could but the
Board should have confidence in who is appointed and should feel
that they will do what is best for the County. A vote
being taken on Mr. Bookman's substitute motion was as follows:
Ayes: Mr~ Bookman and Mrs. Girune.
Nays: Mr. Dodd, Mr. Daniel and Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Daniel seconded Mr. O'Neill's motion. A vote being taken
on this motion was as follows:
Vote: Unanimous
Mrs. Girone inquired if there is a definite criteria established
for the psople to be appointed to the authority. Mr. Bookman
stated he felt it was sufficient to define the scope of the
project and allow additional time for consideration of the
actual appointments. Mr. Dodd stated that he had asked the
Board members on several occasions to submit names for
consideration. Mrs. Girone stated she would like to submit
tbs name of William Bunting who she felt was qualified as he
~rv~s on the Metropolitan Planning Organization representing
me county and has seen the problems that exist. Mrs. Oirone
stated that he also served on a Planning Com~isson in another
area, is a Vice President of the Bank of Virginia and that he is
very well versed on the road matters of the County. Mr.
Bookman stated he would like to have Mr. L. L. Cashion
appointed. He stated Mr. Cashion worked with the Highway
Department 25 years and has been in the road building business
for 15 years and is very familiar with County road problems.
Mr. O'Neill stated he would like to appoint Mr. M. W.
Burnett, Mr. N. Leslie Sounders, Jr., Mr. William Mohr, Mr.
A. Lee Hanbury, Mr. J. G. Ownes, Mr. Billy Gill and
Mr. Frederick T. Gray, 3r. and he gave a brief outline of
their qualifications. Mr. Bookman inquired if this had been
80-306
considered at this time. Mr. Daniel stated he had submitted
eight to ten names and had reduced his suggestions to three. He
stated that no one issue has been discussed more than roads
since he came on the Board. He stated that through the efforts
of the Highway Department, the State Legislature, the Governor's
Office and the Board, the County has not achieved the road system
that is needed or desired. He stated that the County has
been shortchanged and it is even more critical at this point.
He stated that no one wanted a toll road but when it comes to
a decision between a toll road or no road, the toll road wins
out. He stated the Board may not have a lot of answers at this
time but that is part of the job of the toll road authority. He
stated he could support a small budget for the authority at this
time to get them started. He stated that he felt the
Board had to have vision and look towards the future. He stated
that he felt the list of people suggested by Mr. O'Neill was
a cross section of age, experience and all districts, and that
they would all have the best interest of the County at heart.
He stated that everyone is aware of the industries which are
not locating in Chesterfield and it is mainly because of the
lack of the road network in the County and lack of planning for
necessary roads. Mr. O'Neill stated that a major industry had
been contemplating moving into Chesterfield or Nenrico and
had decided on Henrico because of its easy accessibility to
necessary points like the Airport, other industries, etc. He
stated the County has a near perfect balance between residential
and business growth but the residential growth has to be offset
by business for tax purposes. He stated there is a trend
now where major industries are locating to the north of the James
River because of the access to the airport and other locations.
He stated the Highway Department has never done the County any
favors regarding roads or planning for roads with the growth
increasing in the County. He stated he never liked
the toll road idea nor the one that exists, but there is nothing
else to do. He stated the people would at least have a
choice as to whether or not to go through every stop light or
pay a toll and ride less congested. He stated that he did not
feel the appointment of the toll authority was lessening the
responsibility of the Highway Department because if the study
says funds are needed to make the toll road work then he will
suggest the Virginia Dept. of Highways and Transportation put up
the funds, as they will still be receiving a good deal. Mr~
O'Neill inquired how to proceed with appointing members to
the authority. Mr. Micas stated he felt each should be
voted on individually.

Vote: Unanimous
80-308
Mrs. Girone stated that she voted against two of the suggested
names because she felt the two she and Mr. Bookman had
considered for appointment were more qualified and had greater
strengths in this regard. She stated that this was not a
personal matter and due to lack of criteria for these
appointments, felt her suggested appointee was more qualified.
Mr. Daniel stated he felt the appointed members were all very
well qualified. Mrs. Girone stated everyone has their own
preference and reason for their suggested appointments. Mr. Book~

which increased by 67% which combined amounted to $1,182,000
over the budget. He stated they have been able to reduce
ithis figure to $338,395. He stated the School system would
~eed approximately $858,716 from the Board to employ the

the County surplus would be affected. M~r. Ramsay stated it
~ould be reduced by $175,000 if the Board approved the
~ntire request for $858~716 which would leave $3,325,000 in the
3nappropriated Surplus of the General Fund. On motion of
~r. Bookman, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board appropriated
~ 75,000 from the Unappropriated Surplus of the General Fund

Mr. O'Neill returned to the meeting.
Mr. Daniel explained the history of the Deerfield drainage
problem stating that this has existed since the 1960's. He
stated that when the developer began in the area, the rules
and requirements of the County were different than they are
today. He stated that a portion of the subdivision was never
recorded because of the drainage situation and that although the
Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals had approved
7 lots as a private road subdivision, the staff would not
allow building permits due to the drainage problems. Ne
presented a petition from approximately 20 residents of the
Swift Creek area opposed to the drainage going onto Mrs. Cogbill's
property.
Mr. Muzzy stated he and his staff had reviewed this area and
they have reviewed 6 alternatives to remedy the area-wide drainage
problem. He outlined the alternatives which ranged in cost
estimates from $10,000 to $282,180. He stated the $10,000
alternative was only a temporary measure of pumping the
water from the site and through the ditches. He stated that
there is no retention ordinance in effect at this time and
even if this route were taken, after the retention area was
filled, run off would continue. He stated he felt the
alternative which involved utilizing the pipe already installed
and having the water flow onto Mrs. Cogbill's property was
the most economically feasible way to proceed.
Mr. Oliver Rudy, representing Mrs. Cogbill, stated that he
understood the proposal to be that the County would purchase
the easement from Mrs. Cogbill for $15,000, with the County
paying $10,000 of Chat amount and the developer paying
$5,000. He stated he did not feel this was fair since the
developer caused the problem. He stated he did not feel the
Board should be so involved in this matter, except for the
reason of eliminating the water and not the cost involved.
He stated the homes in the area have 30 ft. easements which
indicate that is the way the drainage was planned to be
routed and he felt this was the proper way to proceed no
matter the cost to the developer. He stated that Mrs.
Cogbill did not create the problem, will not benefit from
the water being routed on her property and she does not want
it. He stated if the County decided to condemn her property
they would be doing so for the benefit of a private property
owner which he did not feel was legal. He stated this would
open up for development the property which Was not able to
be developed previously. He stated the Board became involved
in this matter because it was causing a health hazard and
now is considering paying twice as much as the developer
towarde its solution. He stated if pumping will solve the proble~
that is the course that should be followed. Mrs. Cogbill
stated if the alternative is taken as suggested, the 7-11
property will drain onto her property also which she does
not want. Mrs. Girone excused herself from the meeting.
!Mr. Daniel stated this was not condemnation but an offer to
purohase the easement from Mrs. Cogbill. He stated that he
felt the County had some responsibility in this matter
because it did not have the rules and regulations in years past
to provide protection. He stated he was sorry another
property owner may have to be the victim to have the problem
solved. After further consideration of the matter, it was
on motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved
that the Chairman be authorized to enter into an agreement
to purchase a drainage and construction easement in the
amount of $15,000 from Mrs. Theodore Cogbill and also with
the developers of Deerfield, failure to accept the offer or make a
decision within 60 days will be construed as a refusal, and further
the Board appropriated $10,000 from the contingency account to
the Drainage budget for the County's share of the cost.

Mr. Painter stated the County had received a request from
Mr. Allen G. Mason for a sewer extension to serve his property
at 5324 Beulah Road. Mr. Mason stated that for years he has
been allowed to drain his washing machine out into an area in
the rear of his lot but homes had now been built there and
he had been advised he could no longer do this. He stated
that when he built his home, the inspectors knew he was doing
this and did not advise against it. He stated that now, through
no fault of his, he has been told this is a health hazard.
Mr. Painter stated the estimated cost for this extension was
$4,900. Mr. Mason stated he would grant an easement and be
willing to pay $750. Mrs. Girone inquired if this was in the
same area as a similar request had been approved. Mr. Daniel
stated it was. Mrs. Girone inquired if the Board planned to
make extensions of this type all through the County as she had
told residents the County did not make these types of extensions.
Mr. Daniel stated this is the last house in the area without sewer
this restriction to stop a practice which Mr. Mason has
been allowed for the past 20 years was not through any fault
of his and he felt the County had some responsibility in the
matter. Mr. Dodd inquired if Mr. Mason would be willing to
pay $1,200 towards this cost. Mr. Mason stated he would.

his neighbors and if they connect they will pay only $750.
He stated he did not feel it fair, that he should pay $1,200
and his neighbors $750. The Board stated that this was an
agreement made at the time in order to help him with his
failing system and to change this agreement at this time
would not be proper, that other agreements could also be
requested for renegotiation if this precedent were set. (kl

80-320
~g thezr concerns that Greenfield Drive be e~a~e~ ~
to meet the proposed extension of Early Settlers Road and
also that future development of the "Girl Scout" property
never require any extension of Early Settlers Road to the
north connecting it with Groundhog Drive or Old Bon Air Road.
Mrs. Girone stated that the residents of Settlers Landing are
concerned about possible additional through traffic and the safet)
of the children, especially on Early Settlers Road. They wish,
the record of this zoning case to show that it is their desire the
Early Settlers Road never become a through road connecting Robious
Road and Route 60 with Bon Air village via Groundhog or Old Bon
Air Road or any other direct route. She stated the future use
of the old Girl Scout camp is a concern as a possible future
thoroughfare even though the railroad and the flood plain are
considered obstacles. She cited this is another example of a
situation where a pre-established grid pattern of suggested
collector road~, designed by the Planning staff, would give the
community some sense of future planning. She stated that
Mr. Bernard Huff of 1211 Lotus Drive and Mr. C. H. Rosenbaum of
1244 Lotus Drive were in accord with the proposed zoning change
and the existing drainage plans and if any change in drainage plan
were considered that they be notified beforehand. She stated that
the Greenfield Drive connection could be considered when the
subdivision of that land comes before the Planning Conm~ssion
as it is not part of this development.
Ms. Linde Burkett, a resident of Heritage Commons, stated that
they understood the roads would not be connected and they
were not opposed. She stated she was distressed at this latest
