2. New Business
A. Discussion Items 1) Annual Presentation - John Hull, Executive Director of the
Roanoke Regional Partnership
2) Roanoke Regional Skatepark update
3) Discussion of Citizen Comment Requests
John Hull, Executive Director with the Roanoke Regional Partnership,
noted that Pete Eshelman, Senior Director of Creative Strategies, was
with him this evening. He presented an overview of the Roanoke
Regional Partnership's projects and accomplishments during 2023. His
presentation was followed by questions from Council, which were
responded to by Mr. Hull and Mr. Eshelman.
John Shaner, Director of Parks & Recreation, shared information on a
proposed Memorandum of Understanding between Roanoke City,
Salem, and Vinton that had been offered for consideration for a Roanoke
Regional Skatepark. Construction on this would begin this fall and be
complete by next summer. This agreement would require a one-time
contribution and there would be no expenses required for upkeep or
further costs. Vice-Mayor Wallace requested that Mr. Stevens write up a
publication to share information on this proposal for the citizens on the
City's website.
Mayor Turk presented requests that had been made by citizens during the
Public Comment period of Council meetings from January through
February. Mr. Jones shared that he had met with Mr. Thompson in
reference to his request from the December 11, 2023, meeting. He
requested that City Manager Dorsey and Mr. Van Allman meet with Mr.
Thompson and review his information to see if anything should be done.
In response to a request from the January 22 meeting related to the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, it was noted that Council would
be meeting on Wednesday, March 13, to hold a Work Session with
Community Development and that these items would be discussed to hear
suggestions and to define what Council would like to see implemented.
Vice-Mayor Wallace noted that he would like to see some action taken on
the request to adopt architectural standards for development and
redevelopment.
City Manager Dorsey stated that staff had responded to citizen request
from the January 22, 2024, meeting for information related to the
relationship between Roanoke College and the use of City of Salem
sports facilities. Figures and items that had been requested have been
provided. Work was currently being done to provide additional
clarification on some of the items requested. Discussion was held on
this item and questions by Council were responded to by staff.
Another request from January 22 expressed a desire to see Council
explore updating the Code to allow for alternative styles of housing
where appropriate. It was noted that this was being discussed and that
the City's Zoning Code would be followed.
In response to a request from the February 12, 2024, meeting related to
the posing of the annual proposed tax rates, it was noted that this
information is posted according to City Code in the legal advertisement.
Vice-Mayor Wallace asked if any tax relief could be offered to citizens.
Mr. Light responded that the budget was still in the process of being
developed and it was not possible to say at this point in the process.
An update was provided on another February 12 request in reference to
the repair of a storm drain at the corner of Mulberry and Palmer. It was
noted that the part has been ordered. Mr. Light stated that he has
followed up with Mr. Sutphin, Director of Streets and Maintenance, and
that a temporary structure was currently in place and would be taken care
of in the next week. Mayor Turk also noted that she had met with Mr.
Gladden and that staff had not been directed to take any pictures at his
property.
Four citizens spoke at the February 26, 2024, meeting of Council in
relation to the proposed Hope Tree rezoning request. It was noted by
Council that this request relates to private property. Mr. Foley suggested
that information be shared communicating that the City would not be
purchasing this property. Mayor Turk noted that Council was not close at
this point to making a decision on this request. Planning Commission has
not made a decision at this point, and Council cannot make a decision
until the request has passed through the Planning Commission with a
recommendation. It was felt that traffic would increase, regardless of
what is done at this property. It was also noted that it is the responsibility
of the developer to find alternative solutions and that sufficient
information is not available at this point for Council to make a decision.
3. Adjournment
There being no further business, Mayor Turk adjourned the meeting at
6:23 p.m.

4. Consent Agenda
Mayor Turk noted that Council would be making a change to the agenda
this evening. The information for the Hope Tree item has not yet been
through the Planning Commission, and the Planning Commissi on has to
take action prior to Council discussing the item. She stated that Council
will hold a public hearing and this public hearing will be advertised so that
the citizens will be informed of this.
Councilman Foley added that this public hearing will take place at the Civic
Center as a large number of citizens are anticipated. He added that legally
Council had to continue this item. Since the Planning Commission has not
made a recommendation at this point, Council cannot hear the item yet. He
suggested that item 6B be cancelled this evening because legally a date for
the public hearing must be set if the item is continued.
The citizens were assured that they would have the opportunity to be heard.
City Manager confirmed Council's action.
Randy Foley motioned to cancel item 6B for Hope Tree until it has
progressed through the Planning Commission and then readvertise and
publish a public hearing date for this item. William Jones seconded the
motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
Mayor Turk reiterated that Hope Tree item 6B was cancelled so that a
continuing date did not need to be stated and that the public would be
notified through legal advertisement.
Mr. Foley emphasized that the public hearing would only be held after the
Planning Commission has voted and made a recommendation.
A. Citizen Comments Comments from the public, limited to five minutes, on matters not
already having a public hearing at the same meeting.
Mayor Turk noted that this citizen comment period was for citizens to
speak to Council on a topic that did not have a public hearing at the same
meeting.
Mr. Foley stressed for clarification that citizens will not be able to speak on
a Hope Tree topic the night that the public hearing is held.
Mayor Turk added that they would be able to speak on Hope Tree during
the public hearing but not during citizen comment period on the night that
the public hearing is held.
Judy Minahan, 125 Ferrum Drive, was the first citizen to address
Council. She expressed concern about rising real estate tax bills. She
requested that Council consider a 40 to 60 percent reduction in the tax bill
for residents 75 years and older who have lived in Salem for a minimum of
20 years. She asked that they consider levying a tax on seniors
proportionate to the services that are utilized by seniors.
Caroline Scarborough Bain, 721 Academy Street, stated that she was
opposed to the PUD development proposal for the Hope Tree property. She
expressed concern for the flora and wildlife and expressed the desire to see
rescue work before the work begins. She also voiced environmental and
traffic concerns. She requested that City Council not vote on this rezoning
until a more sensible plan had been presented. She felt that accurate traffic
studies needed to be done and that the developers needed to speak to the
importance of sustainable building materials and practices and plan for safe
indoor air quality in all residential spaces.
Emily Paine Carter, 335 N. Broad Street, expressed concerns about
potential Hope Tree rezoning and impact on quality of life in the
neighborhood. She spoke of the history of the neighborhood. Mrs. Paine
Carter also expressed concerns related to traffic, and environmental
impact.
Barbara Bell, 523 E. Burwell Street, noted that she was a resident of North
Broad Street for 47 years. She expressed concern for the future of the status
of North Broad Street on the Registry of National and State Historic Places
with the potential increase of residences on the Hope Tree property. She
also spoke of concern for the 24 residents of Hope Tree with mental and
physical disabilities and the impact that his proposed development could
have on them.
Carl Hart, 720 Mount Vernon Avenue, expressed concerns about speed and
traffic related to the proposed Hope Tree development. He questioned the
ability of tractor trailer trucks to deliver goods to any businesses that would
be in the planned PUD, the difficulty of developing such a community on
the existing terrain, and the ability of residents to hook up electric vehicles
for recharging in such a neighborhood. Mr. Hart also expressed concern
about water drainage.
B. Minutes Consider acceptance of the February 21, 2024, Special Meeting/Joint
Work Session with the Planning Commission and the February 26,
2024, Regular Meeting minutes.

C. Signature Authority and Budgetary Commitment Resolution for VDOT
Consider the adoption of Resolution 1462 authorizing the City
Manager to be signatory authority for the City of Salem for project
agreements for locally administered projects with the Virginia
Department of Transportation.
Mr. Dorsey explained that every four years VDOT comes to the

specifying who is authorized to sign documentation. In this case, this
document is for the City of Salem to authorize the City Manager
position to be authorized to sign documentation with VDOT.

D. Olde Salem Days 2024 Consider adoption of Resolution 1463 closing Main Street on
Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Mr. Foley asked Barney Horrell if we had checked for conflicts with this
date with Virginia Tech, JMU, and UVA games.
Barney Horrell, 3555 Carvins Cove Road, responded to Mr. Foley's
question. He responded that he had not checked the schedule for football
games, but he did note that he had met with the Street Department last
week because this year street improvements will be occurring between
Market and Thompson Memorial. The location of the car show and the
eastern end of events have historically been placed may look different this
year because of this work.
Mr. Foley asked if additional streets needed to be closed.
Mr. Horrell responded that they were not requesting any at this time. Mr.
Sutphin, Director of Streets and Maintenance had assured him that the
sidewalks would be graveled back or something so that they would be
usable. Discussion with the City Engineering Department will be ongoing to
determine how construction will interfere with the placement of the crafters.
They will have all of these details worked out. At this time, they are just
requesting closure of the streets that are historically requested.
Mayor Turk asked if a request could be done at a later date if it is
determined that more space is needed.
Mr. Horrell responded affirmatively. He explained that in the past, most
of the crafters were kept on Main Street and some of the side streets that
had been requested were not utilized. One thing the committee will be
exploring is placing some of the crafters down the side streets if the
additional space is needed. This will be decided based on how many
crafters request a space,
Mr. Jones asked if there was a deadline for proposing this information to
VDOT.
Mr. Horrell answered that the main concern of VDOT is Main Street.
Mr. Light clarified that VDOT was concerned with Main Street, Route
460/Route 11, and that other side streets could be closed admini stratively by
the City Manager.
Mr. Horrell stated that they would go ahead and request the entire Main
Street in case they are able to use it, and if they needed to spill out onto
side streets they would do so.
Mr. Dorsey confirmed that Virginia Tech is away that weekend.
William Jones motioned to adopt Resolution 1463 requesting the Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) approve City Council’s request for
the temporary closure of Main Street on September 14, 2024 , for the Olde
Salem Days event. H. Hunter Holliday seconded the motion.

lowering the amount of local funding necessary by $151,637.

I. Old Virginia Brick Site Demolition Consider setting bond for erosion and sediment control for Old
Virginia Brick Site Demolition. Audit - Finance Committee
Vice-Mayor Wallace noted for the benefit of the public that there was
nothing new going on at this location. He explained that there is
demolition of some old buildings, and they were distributing some dirt
and did not have the necessary permits to do that. This is to rectify that
situation.
The City Engineer’s office has reviewed the estimate for erosion and
sediment control for Old Virginia Brick Site Demolition located at 2500
West Main Street.
Mr. Foley asked Mr. Van Allman since this was after the fact, what would
occur if something had been harmed from erosion?
Mr. Van Allman responded that they would have had to clean up whatever
issues had been caused and that they would have had to come into full
compliance with the permit and there are fines and fees for doing any land-
disturbing activity without a plan. There could be additional fees levied by
the State as well.
Mr. Foley asked to confirm that at this time there were no fines and that
this was just being done retroactively.
Mr. Van Allman confirmed this information. He noted that the Community
Development went out to the site and discovered this, notified them, did a
site assessment to determine that no erosion left the site. No damage outside
of the site was done. They will make sure that they get up to compliance.
Mayor Turk noted for the record that this was private property owned by
someone not willing to sell this or discuss this option.
James Wallace motioned to bond the project in the amount of $16,205.00
with a time frame for completion set at twelve (12) months. William
Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace

reappoint Janie Whitlow to the Fair Housing Board for a three-year term
ending April 9, 2027. H. Hunter Holliday seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
7. Adjournment
Mr. Foley noted for the record that he felt compelled to clarify that the City

3. Old Business
A. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Consider the request of Virginia Baptist Children's Home (dba HopeTree Family
Services), property owner, for rezoning the properties located at 1000 block Red Ln and
a portion of 860 Mount Vernon Lane (Tax Map #'s 41-1-1, 41-1-2, 41-1-3, 41-1-4, 41-1-5,
41-1-6, and a portion of 44-3-10) from RSF Residential Single Family to PUD Planned Unit
District. (Continued from the February 14, 2024, meeting.)
Jon Morris, President, and CEO of HopeTree, appeared before the Commission and thanked
everyone for being at the meeting. He also thanked the Commission for the last public hearing
and the public work session. We appreciated all the feedback we received, the dialogue in the
public work session. We have had several other meetings since then to talk about some of the
changes that we could possibly make, and we have made several changes to the application.
He then asked Chris Burns from Balzer and Associates to speak about the changes.
Chris Burns, Balzer and Associates, 1208 Corporate Circle, Roanoke, appeared before the
Commission and stated that we have been working with Tom Lowe and the development
team on some of the changes that have been made to the document. He feels like some
pretty significant changes have been made in response to the feedback received and the
additional discussions that the developers have had. He believes the Commission received a
markup version of the document with the changes clouded as well as a detailed list of what
those changes were. So, I’m not going to hit on every little change, but I am going to hit on
some of the some of the more major ones, so the document was clarified, to add the
maximum residential unit count at 340, which we have talked about previously; there was a
maximum for hotel rooms on the site set at 34, which is consistent with what the discussions
have been as far as what that type of hotel use that they see on the property. There was a
maximum square footage of restaurant use set at 15,000 square feet, and then there was just
a clarification really this was something that we talked to planning staff about clarification
that home occupations would not count towards these maximum densities and that is
consistent with the Salem zoning ordinance and how that is handled currently in all zoning
districts. In addition to that on the land use plan, there were four areas at the northern end of
the site that were revised from the T5 zone to the less intense T4 zone that covers the area
that is across from North Oaks that fronts Red Lane, as well as some other areas south of that.
There was a clarification added to the document regarding the sidewalk in the on -street
parking along Red Lane that would be provided as part of the development. We have talked a
lot about that but it was not specifically called out in the document so that's been added. In
addition to that there were several revisions made to the use table. We removed several of
the agricultural uses based on feedback that we got. The flea market use was removed,
hospital use was removed, veterinary hospital was removed, and then there were several
commercial uses that were removed from T4. This is not applicable to that specific zone. In
addition to that we have continued to receive feedback and work with planning staff. There
are some additional changes that we are willing to commit to that are not reflected in the
current document—there were some commercial uses that were left in the T4 zone use table,
which will be removed. I believe that there were a couple of boxes that were checked
inadvertently in the use table. I just wanted to clarify that the intent is not to add any uses to
the document, and we will get that corrected. In addition to that, we are willing to commit to
a maximum of 340 total residential units to include any accessory dwelling units. So those
would be included in the total. That was a question that we had received. And then a couple
other uses that we are willing to remove from all zones within the development. And this is
just contingent on assurance that this will not impact any of HopeTree's current operations.
But we are willing to remove outpatient mental health and substance abuse as well as
personal storage. The final change is we had a question about height of accessory structures
and whether those could exceed the primary structure on the lot, and we are willing to
change that language to limit the height of those accessory structures to the height of the
primary structure. Thank you. With that, we would be happy to answer any questions that
you all have.
Vice Chair King stated she thinks she misunderstood what was said at the end of the work
session, accessory residential structures are not allowed in the current zoning, they must be
attached to the main residence. My concern is that accessory residential buildings will
increase when you have at least one vulnerable car. I fully understand that the thought
process there is to have something where a mom-in-law moves in or the child moves in who
now wants to go to grad school needs a place to live, but when that need is no longer there,
does it become rental property? And so, what happens here is it increases that overall number
of 340. So, can I have some comments on that?
Mr. Burns stated that is one of the changes that we're committing to is that the 340 would
include any accessory dwelling units on the property, which is not what the language in the
current version that you have says; but that's one of the things that we're committing to
tonight so that the maximum would not exceed 340 and in truth those accessory dwelling
units will actually generate less traffic than a typical residential unit would.
Chair Daulton stated that staff has some concerns that have not been addressed: the
difference between civic buildings and historic buildings and asked for clarification.
Mr. Burns stated that is something that we need additional discussion on and is not 100 %
sure exactly what that comment means. We just got that today, so we are certainly willing to
discuss that and address it.
Mary Ellen Wines, Planning and Zoning Administrator, clarified that on the use table where it
says historic existing and civic buildings, it is not clear what the future use of those buildings
will be and why they are differentiated between one or the other. She stated that more
clarification is needed.
Mr. Burns questioned if there were any differences in the use table as far as between
the two uses. He apologized for not knowing the answer.
Ms. Wines stated that there are a few differences, and we are trying to understand why
there is a difference and how they are going to be used in the future.
Mr. Burns stated that there is very little on the land use plan that is shown as a civic building;
that of the buildings are shown as the historic core buildings in the middle of the site.
Vice Chair King questioned if the 15,000 s.f. commercial includes the existing buildings
because we keep seeing retail and restaurant space so if it does not, how much more
commercial space is there.
Mr. Burns stated that 15,000 s.f. is the maximum amount of retail and restaurant space
including the existing buildings.
Member Conner questioned if there would be other commercial uses--would there be
office uses or other business uses that are anticipated. The only thing we are addressing is
the commercial use, but there could be other business uses, correct?
Mr. Burns stated that there could be office space. Retail and restaurant are two of the more
intense, and so through the conversations those ones were identified as being critical ones to
limit.
Member Conner stated that he wants to make sure that it is not limiting the amount of other
business space in any way, except as the plan is written.
Chair Daulton questioned if the on-street parking and sidewalks on Red Lane were part of the
proffers because there currently is no indication of what the improvements will look like.
Mr. Burns stated that they are part of the document but are not shown in the graphics as we
have not gotten down to that level of detail. That is something that would be submitted with
a site plan for approval through the typical site plan process—site distance, widths of the
parking spaces, etc. would be addressed to the satisfaction of the city during that process.
Chair Daulton inquired about the placement of trees throughout the development.
Todd Robertson of Stateson Homes appeared before the Commission and stated that the
graphics in the document were not supposed to represent the distancing of the trees as it has
to do with the species of the trees and other things, but they want to form a canopy and a
visual break along Red Lane.
Vice Chair King inquired about the commercial part of the concept—the concept shows
miscellaneous, commercial, office, and civic—and wants to make sure that everything
combined is to be 15,000 s.f. or less.
Mr. Robertson stated that is not what is proposed at this time. Currently, much of the campus
at HopeTree is used for office space—approximately 103,000 s.f. HopeTree will continue to
house its offices in the existing buildings on the property, which will be over 15,000 s.f.
Several of the buildings are vacant, but there are offices in multiple buildings as well. He
believes HopeTree is planning to focus on two buildings—one for a smaller school and the
other for offices that are handicap accessible and a better facility.
Vice Chair King clarified that the 15,000 s.f. commercial use does not include HopeTree’s
offices.
Mr. Robertson stated that it does not, but the to place the offices in one of the buildings that
are currently underutilized.
Ms. Wines clarified that the maximum 15,000 s.f. is for retail and restaurant use only, not
other nonresidential uses.
A discussion was held regarding 15,000 s.f. and comparable building sizes, use of HopeTree’s
cafeteria as a restaurant, etc. It was noted that each commercial space in the project will not
be larger than 5,000 s.f.
Chair Daulton inquired about cemetery use on the project.
Mr. Robertson, stated that there are not plans to create a new cemetery on the property and
they will remove that use from the proposal, but will have to protect any existing cemetery.
Member Garst questioned if removing the outpatient mental health services will affect
HopeTree’s mission.
Mr. Morris stated that HopeTree currently does outpatient mental health counseling, but not
substance abuse counseling.
A discussion was held regarding the uses at HopeTree and the difference between outpatient
mental health services and outpatient substance abuse services. It was noted that HopeTree
wants to continue outpatient mental health counseling but does not and will not offer
substance abuse outpatient therapy. It was noted that HopeTree’s use needs to be
specifically noted within the existing use table.
Chair Daulton noted that it would be beneficial for HopeTree to meet with Planning
Commission members one or two at a time to go over the commercial uses line by line to
remove any unneeded uses. There has been so much information given and more time is
needed to go over the documents and suggested the item be continued until the April
meeting.
Jackson Beamer motioned to approve to continue the item until the April 10, 2024,
meeting. Vice Chair King seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
B. Amendment to the City Code - Chapter 106 Zoning
Hold public hearing to consider amending Chapter 106, Zoning, Article IV Development
Standards, section 106-406 miscellaneous provisions of the CODE OF THE CITY OF SALEM,
VIRGINIA pertaining to storage containers. (Continued from the November 15, 2023,
meeting.) (Staff has requested to continue item)
Jackson Beamer motioned to approve to continue the item until the June 12, 2024,
meeting. Vice Chair King seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
4. New Business
A. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing and consider the request of E3MAG LLC, property owner, for
rezoning the property located at 744 Electric Road (Tax Map # 155 - 2 - 2.2) from HBD
Highway Business District to HM Heavy Manufacturing District.
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (744Electric Road) consists of a 2.036 acre tract of land which
currently sits within the HBD Highway Business District designation. To provide a bit of
history, this parcel was formerly zoned HM Heavy Manufacturing until a 2007 rezoning
reverted its designation to HBD Highway Business District. Since then, the St. John Place
Commerce Center has developed in an industrial nature, and correspondingly, this request
seeks to return 744 Electric Road to the HM Heavy Manufacturing classification. This
request mimics several successful rezoning applications in recent months to revert the
undeveloped land within the St. John Place Commerce Center to an industrial setting. This
parcel is currently vacant, but a concept plan has been submitted to prepare it for future
development.
While there is no concrete site plan for the future development of the property, the uses
specified in the HM Heavy Manufacturing District are consistent with existing
development in the adjacent St. John Place Commerce Center. Although some of the site
sits within the floodplain, any future development will be elevated above the 100-year
floodplain to meet the necessary requirements.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as industrial, which is
consistent with the proposed future utilization of the property.
Barney Horrell, Brushy Mountain Engineering, 3553 Carvins Cove Road, appeared
before the Commission and stated that this is the last tract of land in the St. John
Place development that is still zoned HBD, and the request is to rezone the parcel
to HM, which is consistent with the other parcels in the development.
Neil Conner motioned to approve the request of E3MAG LLC, property owner, for
rezoning the property located at 744 Electric Road (Tax Map # 155 - 2 - 2.2) from HBD
Highway Business District to HM Heavy Manufacturing District. Vice Chair King
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King
B. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing and consider the request of Pinkesh R. Patel and Sonal P. Patel,
property owners, for rezoning the property located at 1200 block Thompson
Memorial Drive (Tax Map # 20 - 2 - 4) from RSF Residential Single-Family District to
HBD Highway Business District.
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (1200 blk Thompson Memorial Drive) consists of a 2.674-acre tract of
land which currently sits within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning designation. The
applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property from RSF to HBD to facilitate the
construction of a gas station, convenience store, and drive through restaurant
development. Situated adjacent to Interstate 81, this property is uniquely positioned to
potentially serve the commercial needs of both travelers and local residents alike as there
are no other commercial establishments currently located in this portion of Salem.
Furthermore, the approved Edgebrook Development to the north of this site in Roanoke
County may catalyze the evolution of its surrounding corridor. Still, the subject property is
currently bounded (within Salem) by residentially zoned parcels, many of which serve
single family homes.
A conceptual site plan has been included with the submittal that displays a proposed
convenience store and restaurant positioned behind the gas pump structures (located
closer to Thompson Memorial Drive). The exhibit indicates two separate access points –
one which intersects Penguin Lane and the other with Thompson Memorial Drive. If this
rezoning application is approved, this development project is subject to site plan review
and corresponding compliance with Salem’s ordinances.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential which is
inconsistent with the proposed future utilization of the property.
Compton Biddle, attorney with OPN Law, 110 East First Street, Salem, appeared
before the Commission on behalf of the property owners. He stated that they have
owned the property since 2007 and during the course of their ownership, they have
realized that the property is not developable as residential land and would like the
parcel rezoned to HBD Highway Business District in order to build a gas station,
neighborhood store, and fast-food restaurant. He clarified that it will not be a truck
stop and is not intended to serve 18-wheelers or accommodate them overnight—
there is no room and no plans for it. It is designed to be a neighborhood store more
along the lines of you get off the highway to go to your home and you need to get
gas, you can get gas, get a cup of coffee in the morning, or if there is an urgent need
like cold medicine or something, you don’t have to get on the highway or go into
town to get it—you can just go to the neighborhood store with the idea there also
would be a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru next to it. He stated that the
applicants have been residents in the community for 25 years and want to be good
neighbors. This is not something an out-of-town business is trying to shove upon
the community. The owners would like to have one of the gas pumps dedicated to
a donation per gallon to Salem High School sports. They also have an extensive
landscaping plan to try to keep the neighborhood feel that it’s intended to be and to
be consistent with the Thompson Memorial corridor. He stated that Ben Crew with
Balzer and Associates is also present to further answer questions regarding the
project.
Member Conner noted that a gas station is one of the more intensive uses in the
Highway Business District.
A discussion was held regarding the traffic associated with a convenience store, if
VDOT will need to be contacted; underground stormwater retention; the amount of
rock on the site, etc.
Mr. Biddle gave the Commission the landscaping plans proposed for the site. He
noted that the proposed plan is similar to the store located off of Exit 132 at Dixie
Caverns and will have an EV charging station.
Chair Daulton noted that the speakers will have three minutes to speak during the
public hearing and opened the public hearing at 7:48 p.m.
Jim Williams, Winston Estates, appeared before the Commission and asked for a
show of hands of the people present who live in the area near the project. He then
asked for a show of hands from those people who raised their hands who want the
project. Case closed.
Archie Pugh, 1416 Evergreen Court, appeared before the Commission and stated
that he is a lifelong resident of the City of Salem and has been a resident in Salem
Woods for 28 years. He stated that he is vide president of a utility that covers 13
states, is a registered professional engineer in the states of Virginia and West
Virginia. He further stated that he is not representing the utility, but feels it is
important to know his background as he has a career in engineering, structural
analysis, foundation design, and geotechnical engineering to enhance our
transmission grid. He is opposed to the rezoning due to the high cost of site
development. The presence of extensive rock will result in a high cost of grading
and foundation design, which is often underestimated and results in extensive
foundation costs. When foundation and grading is over budget, it is usually the
result for the developer to save those costs in the above ground structure, and he
expects that to happen with this project. The significant drainage pattern that runs
through the center of the property will result in an extensive cost of underground
culvert system. There is currently a stream that flows on the property and has
running water in it regularly. There is currently a four-foot culvert that takes the
water away from the property and will incur additional subsurface costs in order to
take the drainage away from the property. Due to this, he feels the developer will
overshoot their foundation budget and developments costs and will save those on
the above-ground structure. Very often there are suspicious out-of-state vehicles
that come off Interstate 81 and park on Penguin Lane. He has called the police
numerous times to come by to let them know they are being watched. If there is a
commercial business on the parcel, it is going to give an avenue for people to come
off the interstate and use the property for what he feels are suspicious activities.
Finally, this exit is the gateway to the City of Salem. Currently there is a welcome
sign, plantings, trees, and the beautiful boulevard of Thompson Memorial Drive.
Roanoke College has made extensive enhancements to their campus entrance. This
is the entrance to Salem, it’s the entrance to Roanoke College. What do you want
the traveler to see when they exit Interstate 81 and approach our beautiful city—a
four-pump gas station sends the wrong message to travelers.
Carrie Pugh, 1416 Evergreen Court, appeared before the Commission and stated
that she has been a resident of Salem Woods for 28 years. In her professional life,
she was the assistant real estate manager for the Kroger company for over 21 years,
handling new store development, but specifically the fuel center program in a six-
state region. She personally led the development and installation of over 35 fuel
centers and three of which are in Salem. From this experience in not only
commercial real estate, but specifically gas stations, she is opposed to the rezoning
of the property for the following reasons: she has spoken with VDOT, and it is not
desirable for the egress of the site. According to discussions with VDOT and the
Salem District P.E. Mr. Blevins, the standards of VDOT and the Federal Highway
Administration, this site would not meet the spacing standards for commercial
entrances, signals, intersections, and crossovers. The limited access right-of-way
that is shown on the plan onto Thompson Memorial Drive does not meet the
minimum traffic standards per VDOT. The code notes spacing for a commercial
entrance in a 45 MPH zone to be 305 feet from the entrance ramp. Penguin Lane is
currently in that 300-ish feet setback so that you have an idea of reference. Based
on the survey in the proposal, it appears that the right-in, right-out is about 175
feet, which creates a dangerous situation from a traffic standpoint and would not be
permissible. To have the only access point off Penguin Lane does not create a very
desirable real estate site. In addition, the intersection at Penguin Lane and
Thompson Memorial Drive would not ever meet VDOT’s requirements for a traffic
light. She also stated that there is almost 100 percent residential single family from
the 140 exit down to Roanoke College and highway business district is a big jump
from that. Unless this use is proffered, the rezoning will open about 60-plus
additional uses that could be on the property.
Blair Burns, 1204 Mountainview Drive, appeared before the Commission and stated
that she has lived at that address since 1996, which is located at the end of Penguin
Lane. She has similar concerns as the previous speakers. Thompson Memorial is
our prettiest access to Salem. The other two exits that enter Salem are fully
developed—hotels, restaurants, fast food places. Thompson Memorial is the only
one that is memorable, and she would like to see if left as it is. She opposes the
rezoning. The parcel in question is divided by Penguin Lane and if the property is
rezoned, the other side of Penguin Lane could be developed as well. If this were to
happen, she feels it would negatively affect the property values and negatively
affect the viewshed when you come into Salem. Traffic is also a concern with gas
tanker trucks coming into the property, beverage and other food delivery trucks
coming onto the property at all hours of the night. Plus, it is already hard to find the
right shot to get across the intersection at Thompson Memorial Drive from Penguin
Lane, or to access the interstate from Penguin Lane.
Lawrence Kessman, 353 Penguin Lane, and has lived there since 2021 when they
moved from Lake Wise in South Carolina, but he grew up in Salem and loves Salem.
While he shares the other concerns addressed, he is also concerned about our
children. Common sense tells him that if you build something right off the
interstate, you are going to draw those travelers not from this area to stop there
and wonder “what’s up this road” and then travel into the neighborhood and
possibly bring predators into the neighborhood. The children need to be protected.
He asked the Commission to listen to his constituents because their concerns are
valid.
Don Thomas, 1304 Panarama Circle, appeared before the Commission and stated
that like many of his neighbors, he is here to voice his concerns about the rezoning
request. His perspective on the matter comes from both a practical and a
professional standpoint. In addition to being a resident of Salem Wood Subdivision,
he is a certified general real estate appraiser licensed by the State of Virginia and
has been licensed since 1992. He stated that one of the criteria for a property
achieving its highest and best use is for it to be financially feasible. He questioned if
the finished site that the proposed rezoning provides a large enough footprint to
achieve the necessary economies of a scale for an economically viable convenience
store and asked if a feasibility study of the project has been given to the
Commission. He also asked if a traffic study has been done to show the number of
cars and trucks that must come to the side for it to be a financial win for the
developer. He further stated that he can state with certainty that high value
properties are without exception more negatively affected by undesirable external
influences and are affected in a higher rate than lower value properties. According
to the city’s most recent reassessment, the average market value for the 86 homes
in the neighborhood is approximately $460,000. The Virginia Association of Realtors
published in January that the median home sale price in Salem is about $250,000.
Paul Scolneck, 1309 Winson Drive, appeared before the Commission and stated that
he shares the concerns previously shared and emphasized the traffic issues. He
stated that if you’re going south on Penguin Lane and turn left to go east on
Thompson Memorial Drive, it is a very difficult turn as there is traffic all day, but at
certain times it is almost impossible to make the turn due to the traffic. Likewise, if
you are going east on Thompson Memorial Drive and try to turn north onto Penguin
Lane, it is also difficult to make that turn. He feels that if a traffic study were done,
this project would be “dead in the water.” He asked the Commission to consider all
the concerns that have been mentioned.
Chair Daulton paused the hearing at 8:06 for a brief break. The meeting was
reconvened at 8:11 p.m.
Gary Saunders, 367 Penguin Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated that
he has lived in the neighborhood twice. He stated that a commercial establishment
is being proposed but half of the traffic coming into the site is channeled back out
into a residential neighborhood. Unless you live on Penguin Lane, you don’t realize
how many people go onto Penguin Lane and think they’re on the ramp to I-81. He
and his neighbor had the fun of repairing our yards last winter after a tractor trailer
came on Penguin Lane and used our front yards as the cul-de-sac to turn around in.
He opposes the rezoning.
Buster Mowles, 342 Academy Street, appeared before the Commission and stated
that he does not live near the parcel, but lives in Salem and has his entire life. He
stated that curb appeal is a big deal, and that exit is our curb appeal to Salem. He
travels to see his grandchildren in Maryland and Florida and uses that exit to get
back home and feels that the gas station will end up looking terrible and we don’t
need something like this for the entrance into our city. He opposes the rezoning.
Virginia Frame, 1412 Evergreen Court, appeared before the Commission and stated
that she has walked the neighborhood with a petition to be presented to City
Council that nearly everyone has signed saying they are against this project.
Curtis Ellwanger, 150 Freedman Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated
that he lives in the house that you cannot see and has lived there for 24 years. The
drive-thru being shown in the proposal will be 17 yards from his front door. He
stated that when his water system was installed, it had to be blasted to place the
water line and he could not connect to city sewer because it would be too expensive
blasting to install it; therefore, he has a septic tank which is right near the property
line of the parcel. He is concerned the affects the blasting to clear the site will have
on the foundation of his house. He further stated that even though this is not
proposed to be a truck stop, trucks will stop there. Trucks currently stop along the
entrance ramp to Interstate 81 and he has the Virginia State Police on speed dial for
tractor trailers using the entrance ramp as a truck stop. He is opposed to the
rezoning as he feels it will cause damage to his house and he doesn’t feel it is for the
well-being of the rest of the neighborhood.
Tracy Patton, 318 Penguin Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated that
she and her husband have lived there approximately 17 years. They love their
home, and this is the most beautiful entrance to Salem. She feels the
development—blasting will cause damage to other homes and will decrease the
property value of the homes in the neighborhood.
Susan Robertson, 1400 Evergreen Court, appeared before the Commission and
stated that she feels the truck traffic parked along the entrance ramp to Interstate
81 will get worse once there is a convenience store. It is a safety hazard and a fire
hazard. There are woods all around and it is a haven for wildlife that will be
affected. She opposes the rezoning.
Bill Robertson, 1400 Evergreen Court, appeared before the Commission and stated
that everyone has had a lot of important points—traffic safety, traffic merging off
the interstate to get to a ramp here to get fuel is going to increase the risk and
accidents. The City of Salem Emergency Services is going to bear the cost of that so
any tax revenue that might be gained from this project is going to be quickly offset
by servicing. He stated that fuel will be leaked into water and wildlife will suffer. He
purchased his residence due to the secluded entrance and the proposed
development will destroy that. He opposes the rezoning.
Russell Deyerle, 620 Red Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated that he
was originally present due to the other major item, but decided to stay for this item.
He stated that he has an uncle who owned a gas station in South Carolina that was
near an exit ramp but closed it down due to the number of times it was robbed
being that close to the entrance of the interstate. He further stated that I-81 is like
I-95 and is considered corridors for trafficking children, sex trafficking, as well as gun
trafficking. He feels that adding something like this could add problems, crime, to
the neighborhood. He is also concerned about the traffic issues. He opposes the
rezoning.
Ted Dyer, 357 Penguin Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated that he
also owns 15 other properties in Salem. He stated that the “bunny trail” is not an
adequate second way to get out of the neighborhood and has been overlooked by
the city for years. If a fuel trailer or tractor trailer can get on this property, so can
any other tractor trailer coming down the interstate and they are not going to
change the way they service this. Second, the extra property on the side can now
allow for the Ferrell’s property and the Winston’s property that is for sale right now
for about $875,000 to be resold. He stated he would buy it tomorrow and put five
hotels on the property. This development will change the entire gateway of how
our city looks by allowing this to happen. You can have several different businesses
on the property if it is rezoned and this is the one chance to veto changing a
residential single-family parcel to highway business. There are other EVs in Salem—
they are at all the Sheetz stores. He also has a petition of over 140 people and
counting who are neighbors in the community of this city opposing the rezoning.
The Penguin Lane neighborhood is a great community, it is a high-function, highly
involved members of the Salem community—business owners, car dealers,
schoolteachers, principals, lawyers, doctors, clerks of this city, public workers,
employees of the city, construction workers, retirees, etc. It is simple, we as a
neighborhood and taxpayers do not want a gas station and do not want a zoning for
highway business into our residential single-family neighborhood and will do little
for our neighborhood. We have managed without a gas station for years and can
live many years to come without another gas station. He feels that this store will
mainly cater to interstate traffic, and he will not stop at this store if it affects the
way I drive to Salem.
Gary Sovine, 1229 Forest Lawn Drive, appeared before the Commission and yielded
his time to Mr. Dyer.
Mr. Deyer stated that we are here to look at the possibility of the land use, and not
what could possibly go on the parcel. If the rezoning is approved, he will purchase
27 acres for sale and will change the way the gateway to our city works. Our city is
pretty, our city is elegant, and we should not change the major gateway. As this
moves forward to City Council, we will petition, and our petitions will continue to
add over 200 names to show that the community of Salem does not wish for this to
be a high business district and to remain a residential single family.
Mr. Sovine, reappeared before the Commission and stated that he has a concern for
safety. He knows what safety is like on the highways as he had a daughter killed in
1995 because of an intersection that is not even quite as bad as this one. He
opposes the rezoning.
John Byrd, 1803 Winston Drive, appeared before the Commission and stated that he
is concerned about the crime, litter, light pollution, and the Gish branch which is the
name of the little stream on the property. He does not feel this is an environmental
win or a win for the City of Salem. He opposes the rezoning.
Stella Reinhardt, 213 North Broad Street, appeared before the commission and
stated that he agrees with all the previous comments. She stated there are other
gas stations at the other exits to Salem. This is the pretty entrance to Salem. She
opposes the rezoning.
Dennis Twine, 349 Penguin Lane, appeared before the Commission and stated that
he is the next closest to the development and has lived there 20 years. He has
multiple items stolen and feels this development is not a good idea.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Chair Daulton closed the public hearing at 8:43 p.m.
Mr. Biddle reappeared before the Commission and asked that the Commission
continue the item so that the issues brought forward in the meeting can be
addressed with a neighborhood meeting.
Neil Conner motioned to continue the request of Pinkesh R. Patel and Sonal P.
Patel, property owners, for rezoning the property located at 1200 block Thompson
Memorial Drive (Tax Map # 20 - 2 - 4) from RSF Residential Single-Family District to
HBD Highway Business District to the April 10, 2024, meeting.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst, King

Item #6A
Date: 3/25/2024
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
HELD AT CITY HALL
AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing and consider the request of E3MAG, LLC, property
owner, for rezoning the property located at 744 Electric Road (Tax Map #
155-2-2.2) from HBD Highway Business District to HM Heavy
Manufacturing District. (Advertised in the March 14, and 21, issues of
the Salem Times-Register.) (Planning Commission recommended
approval; see page 7 of Planning Commission minutes.)
SUBMITTED BY: Max Dillon, Planner
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: HBD Highway Business District
Land Use Plan Designation: Industrial
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: Future Development (commercial, office, industrial)
The subject property (744 Electric Road) consists of a 2.036 acre tract of land which currently sits within
the HBD Highway Business District designation. To provide a bit of history, this parcel was formerly
zoned HM Heavy Manufacturing until a 2007 rezoning reverted its designation to HBD Highway
Business District. Since then, the St. John Place Commerce Center has developed in an industrial nature,
and correspondingly, this request seeks to return 744 Electric Road to the HM Heavy Manufacturing
classification. This request mimics several successful rezoning applications in recent months to revert
the undeveloped land within the St. John Place Commerce Center to an industrial setting. This parcel is
currently vacant, but a concept plan has been submitted to prepare it for future development.
While there is no concrete site plan for the future development of the property, the uses specified in the
HM Heavy Manufacturing District are consistent with existing development in the adjacent St. John
Place Commerce Center. Although some of the site sits within the floodplain, any future development
will be elevated above the 100-year floodplain to meet the necessary requirements.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as industrial which is consistent with the proposed
future utilization of the property.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-220.3. Site development regulations for HM.
Tax Parcel 155-2-2.2 (744 Electric Road)
BEGINNING at a point on the east side of the Electric Road right-of-way at the northwest corner of Tax
Parcel 189-2-1; thence following the Electric Road right-of-way line along a curve to the right with a
Radius of 2825.29 feet, Arc Length 354.39 feet, Chord Bearing of N 18° 25’ 02” E, and Chord Length of
354.16 feet to a point; thence departing said right-of-way and following the southern property line of
Tax Parcel 155-2-2.1 a bearing of S 69° 39’ 28” E for a distance of 187.89 feet to a point on the centerline
of a 24’ cross-access easement (as recorded in P.B. 11, PG. 48-50, Slide 193); thence following said
easement centerline a bearing of S 10° 07’ 00” W for a distance of 449.97 feet to a point; thence
departing the centerline of said cross-access easement a bearing of S 41° 03’ 47” W for a distance of
7.41 feet to a point on the northern property line of Tax Parcel 189-2-1; thence following said property
line a bearing of N 48° 56’ 13” W for a distance of 270.76 feet to the point of BEGINNING, and being
known as Lot 13-A-2, containing 2.0356 acres, as shown on “Resubdivision Plat for Wiley Development,
LLC, Showing Lot 13-A, Resubdivision Plat for the St. John Place Commerce Center (P.B. 12 PG. 5-6, Slide
199)”, dated August 04, 2023, by Caldwell White Associates, recorded in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit

Item #6B
Date: 3/25/2024
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
HELD AT CITY HALL
AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing and consider the request of Pinkesh R. Patel and
Sonal P. Patel, property owners, for rezoning the property located at 1200
Blk Thompson Memorial Drive (Tax Map # 20-2-4) from RSF Residential
Single Family to HBD Highway Business District. (Advertised in the March
14, and 21, issues of the Salem Times-Register.) (At the petitioner's
request Planning Commission continued this item to the April 10, 2024,
meeting; see page 8 of Planning Commission minutes.)
SUBMITTED BY: Max Dillon, Planner
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: RSF Residential Single Family
Land Use Plan Designation: Residential
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: Commercial – gas station, convenience store, drive thru restaurant
The subject property (1200 blk Thompson Memorial Drive) consists of a 2.674 acre tract of land which
currently sits within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning designation. The applicant is requesting a
rezoning of the property from RSF to HBD in order to facilitate the construction of a gas station,
convenience store, and drive thru restaurant development. Situated adjacent to Interstate 81, this
property is uniquely positioned to potentially serve the commercial needs of both travelers and local
residents alike as there are no other commercial establishments currently located in this portion of
Salem. Furthermore, the approved Edgebrook Development to the north of this site in Roanoke County
may catalyze the evolution of its surrounding corridor. Still, the subject property is currently bounded
(within Salem) by residentially zoned parcels, many of which serve single family homes.
A conceptual site plan has been included with the submittal that displays a proposed convenience store
and restaurant positioned behind the gas pump structures (located closer to Thompson Memorial Drive).
The exhibit indicates two separate access points – one which intersects Penguin Lane and the other with
Thompson Memorial Drive. If this rezoning application is approved, this development project is subject
to site plan review and corresponding compliance with Salem’s ordinances.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential which is inconsistent with the
proposed future utilization of the property.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-214.3. Site development regulations for HBD.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
At the petitioner’s request, the Planning Commission has continued this item to the April 10, 2024,
meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council cancel the public hearing and first reading of an Ordinance for this
item. Once the Planning Commission makes a recommendation, the public hearing and
consideration will be scheduled for the appropriate Council meeting date and the public hearing
will be readvertised.

AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM,
VIRGINIA HELD AT CITY HALL
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Request to adopt Capital Reserve Policy
SUBMITTED BY: Rosemarie B. Jordan, Director of Finance
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Formal written financial policies promote good financial management, define boundaries,
support good bond ratings and promote long-term and strategic thinking. Adopting
financial policies is a recommended best practice by the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA). The Finance Department has drafted a Capital Reserve Policy. We
request that this policy become effective as of the date of its adoption.
.FISCAL IMPACT:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
City staff requests Council approve the Capital Reserve Policy.
Page 1 of 2
CAPITAL PLANNING AND RESERVE POLICY
CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Purpose
To establish a capital reserve within the Capital Projects Fund and define guidelines and goals for capital
planning and capital asset renewal and replacement reserves. By establishing and maintaining a capital
reserve, the City ensures proactive financial management of capital improvements and asset replacement.
The City will utilize a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a tool for capital planning and use of the
capital reserve.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the process for evaluating, planning, scheduling, and implementing
capital expenditures through departmental capital requests. For inclusion in this plan, a capital request
must have a total cost of at least $5,000 and a minimum useful life of five years.
The CIP is a six-year flexible plan used to schedule anticipated capital improvement projects and coordinate
how they will be funded. The CIP includes a summary of the projects, estimated costs, schedule and
recommended source of funding for each request as appropriate. The costs of capital requests in the first
year of the CIP become the capital budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year. If the CIP requests are
approved and funded by City Council, they become the adopted Capital Year Budget for the upcoming
fiscal year. The remaining years of the CIP provide an estimated cost of the proposed projects and reflect
their anticipated funding sources.
Capital Reserve
The capital reserve is to be established within the Capital Projects Fund for the specific use of providing
funding for mid-level capital expenditures from General Fund revenues and reserves as defined under Use
of Funds below.
Contributions
Contributions to the capital reserve are made from the following sources:
Annual Contribution – After completion of the annual audit, the following calculation is completed
using amounts as shown in Exhibit 3, Balance Sheet for Governmental Funds, and Exhibit 5,
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for Governmental Funds, in
the audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) from the previous fiscal year:
General Fund unassigned fund balance per Exhibit 3
Less: (General Fund total expenditures + Debt Service Fund total expenditures per Exhibit 5)
divided by 2
Less: Appropriation(s) of General Fund unassigned fund balance subsequent to the date of the
previous fiscal year ACFR
= Capital Reserve Contribution
Page 2 of 2
A positive result equals the annual contribution to the capital reserve for the current fiscal year.
A negative result indicates that no annual contribution will be made to the capital reserve in the
current fiscal year.
Annual contributions are primarily the result of year -end expenditure savings and revenue surplus
balances. If at any point the fund balance of the General Fund falls below the minimum acceptable
level as defined in the City’s fund balance policy, the annual contribution is suspended until the
minimum accepted level of fund balance is replenished.
Use of Funds
Appropriations from the capital reserve within the Capital Projects Fund include:
CIP “Capital Reserve” funding source – Projects included in the first year of the CIP with a funding
source of “Capital Reserve” are appropriated from the capital reserve within the Capital Projects
Fund as part of the annual budget process. This is intended to fund projects with mid-level funding
needs between $200,000 and $3,000,000 that are not large enough to justify a debt issuance.
Examples include building improvements, bridge improvements, storm water infrastructure
improvements, streetscape improvements, park improvements, and major equipment purchases.
Project Overages – Current projects in the Capital Projects Fund that exceed previously approved
and appropriated funding sources will be analyzed and recommended for action to City Council.
Projects that are approved may receive additional funding from the capital reserve.
One-Time Appropriations – At the discretion of the City Manager and with approval from City
Council, appropriations of the capital reserve can be made for emergency capital needs or other
capital expenditures not already included in the Capital Year Budget.
Minimum Acceptable Level
It is the intent of the City to maintain a minimum acceptable level of capital reserve equal to $4,000,000.
This minimum acceptable level ensures that the City is able to meet unexpected capital needs. At the
discretion of the City Manager and with approval from City Council, appropriations of capital reserve can
be made that result in the balance falling below the minimum acceptable level. In the event that the balance
drops below the acceptable minimum level, further appropriations will be limited to emergencies, as deemed
by the City Manager, until the capital reserve minimum acceptable level is replenished through annual
contributions.
