Joint Work Session with the Salem School Board to include the presentation of
the Salem City Schools Capital Improvement Plan
Dr. Curtis Hicks presented an overview of the Salem City Schools' Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). He noted that Salem City Council Resolution 487 stated
that: "All funds appropriated by City Council for use by the School Board,
unexpended at the close of any fiscal year, as determined by the City's annual audit,
shall be placed in a general reserve account for non-recurring expenditures of the
School Division as determined by the School Board with the consent of City
Council."
Dr. Hicks noted the amounts of CIP Revenue for 2023-2024. Noted were grant
amounts as well as required expenditures for repairs. Also noted were Salem City
Maintenance requests as well as School Safety audit recommendations. He shared
that $250,000 had been requested through the School Safety Grant for school safety
and security upgrades. Next, Dr. Hicks presented Technology Department requests
and one individual school request. He shared maintenance priorities, in order of
priority, for fiscal years 2024 through 2028.
Todd Sutphin, Director of Streets and Maintenance for the City of Salem presented
an overview of roofing conditions for each of the Salem City Schools. He pointed
out the improvement that had been made from 2019 to the present. He also shared
details on an epoxy coating that was being used and how this extended the life of the
roofs and reduced the overall costs of repairs.
Dr. Hicks next shared an enrollment overview by school from 2014 through 2023.
He spoke to the decline in student enrollment over this period and how that
translated in state funding. He also shared statistics on nonresident enrollment from
2016 through 2023 and how that also impacted state funding. Dr, Hicks noted
growth for the past three years in both reading and math scores for Salem City
Schools. Some facts that were shared were that Salem City Schools has improved

ranking based on 2019/2021 data.

would be retired at the end of this year and that a facilities study for East Salem and
West Salem Elementary Schools is on the horizon. He noted that the School Board
will approve the CIP Plan and then it will come back to Council for their approval.

members.

Mayor Turk noted that Council would like to recognize City Manager Taliaferro
this evening. She shared that Jay Taliaferro graduated from Salem High School in
1984 and went on to earn his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from
Clemson and his MPA in Public Administration from Virginia Tech. He began his
employment with the City of Salem in 1991 as a Staff Engineer and in 1998 was
named City Engineer. In 2000, Mr. Taliaferro moved into Administration as
Assistant City Manager and served under both Forest Jones and Kevin Boggess.
Salem City Council unanimously appointed him to the position of City Manager on
December 19, 2019. She noted that despite having the majority of his tenure as
City Manager defined by the pandemic, Jay was able to navigate the City through
that uncertainty and he achieved a number of economic wins. She listed the
renovation and additions made to Salem High School's main building and athletic
field house, major upgrades at the Salem Moyer Complex, the downtown corridor
improvements equal to approximately $65 million in projects during this time. In
addition, a number of critical developments have occurred in the City: the
repurposing of manufacturing space in the old GE facility and bringing in the
Phoenix Group STS, as well as the development of the Valleydale properties. She
also noted that during his tenure the City's bond rating improved to AA+ with the S
and P Global Rating, which enabled Salem to borrow money at a very low rate.
This translates in turn to saving the citizens of Salem money. Mayor Turk shared
a number of regional organizations that Jay had served on over the years ranging
from Virginia's Blue Ridge to the Western Virginia Regional Jail Authority.
Recently, Mr. Taliaferro received the prestigious Tourism Ambassador Award at
Virginia's Blue Ridge's annual meeting in downtown Roanoke. This award is
presented each year to an individual for outstanding dedication towards the
promotion of this region's tourism. Mayor Turk also noted that City Manager
Taliaferro's father, the late Jim Taliaferro, was Salem's Mayor from 1974 through
1996. Council thanked a gracious gentleman and public servant for his 32 years
of dedicated service to Salem. Council presented a framed award to City
Manager Taliaferro and had pictures taken with him.
Mr. Taliaferro thanked Council and the citizens of Salem and stated that he "did not
know of any greater honor than being able to serve your hometown."
4. Consent Agenda
A. Citizen Comments
Comments from the public, limited to five minutes, on matters not already
having a public hearing at the same meeting.
Quinn Steen, 19 Corbett Street, was the first citizen to address Council. He
expressed concern about the proposed rezoning plan of the Hope Tree property. He
expressed that the citizens of the greater Broad Street neighborhood have concerns
of the future impact. He specifically spoke on concerns of losing some of the
views, wildlife, charm, history, and atmosphere of the neighborhood. He also
expressed concerns of potential impacts on the environment and infrastructure,
traffic, and sewage. Mr. Steen requested that the citizens be heard and be allowed
to partner with the City of Salem and Hope Tree. He also asked that studies be
done on the impact on the environment, traffic, and infrastructure, and that any
proposed rezoning to dense commercial or residential use be reconsidered or
limited.
John Breen, 142 Bogey Lane, expressed concerns about Salem Code Section 78-
508, specifically in regard to certificates of occupancy and public streets within
developments. He noted concerns of public services and insurance. He requested
that Council address Salem Code Section 78-508 and offered suggestions for
methods in which to do so.
Stella Reinhard, 213 North Broad Street, was the last citizen to address Council this
evening. Ms. Reinhard listed features that she felt were important in a city: well-
maintained roads and services; a city grid that hasn't lost too many of its historic
buildings to parking lots; thoughtful, lovely entrances that make a statement;
connector roads that are designed, landscaped, and zoned well; and a thriving city
center. She addressed the park system in a city, and specifically, the need for a
central park in a city. She shared her vision for what this central park would look
like in Salem. Ms. Reinhard requested negotiation on Hope Tree to make this land
into a central park.
B. Minutes
Consider acceptance of the September 25, 2023, Work Session and Regular
Meeting minutes and the September 29, 2023, Special Joint Meeting with the
Planning Commission minutes.
The minutes were accepted as written.
5. Old Business
6. New Business
A. Resolution 1459 in Support of Roanoke Boulevard Downtown Streetscape
Project
Consider adoption of Resolution 1459 in support of the Roanoke Boulevard
Downtown Streetscape Project.
Will Simpson, City Engineer, gave background on this item. He clarified that the
Downtown project on Roanoke Boulevard is an extension of the current Streetscape
project in the downtown area. He noted that this is the section between Main
Street down Market, around the Firehouse to Roanoke Boulevard all the way up
College Avenue. He added that the City currently has $1,000,000 in funding
through revenue sharing and that half of this amount is State funds and half is local
funds that have already been included in the current Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP). The latest estimates for the project come in around $3,000,000 for the total
for the project. The City is seeking additional revenue sharing funds up to
$2,500,000 through the State. This resolution supports the application for these
funds to fully fund the project. Half of that would come from the State and half
would come from local funds.
Mayor Turk asked to clarify if basically this is enabling the City to apply for State
funds.
Mr. Simpson verified that this would be a match to what the City puts in. Every
dollar that the City provides would be matched by the State.
Mayor Turk asked if most of the development to this point had been done through
grants that had been applied for utilizing matching funds.
Mr. Simpson responded that some of the development had been done through
different funding sources and that some had utilized revenue sharing and that some
had been done through federal funds that were fully funded.
Randy Foley motioned to adopt Resolution 1459 in support of the Roanoke
Boulevard Downtown Streetscape Project. William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk, Wallace
B. Parkway Brewery Performance Agreement
Consider request to approve an extension in the Performance Agreement
between the City of Salem, Parkway Brewing Company, LLC, and the
Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Salem; and
authorization to the City Manager to issue the required written approval
extending the Performance Date to February 23, 2023.
Mr. Wallace announced that he had a conflict of interest with this item and would
abstain and noted for the benefit of the public that he serves on the board for
Parkway.
Mr. Light clarified that in 2017 the Economic Development Authority (EDA), the
City, Parkway Brewery, and the State entered into the performance agreement.
Through Covid the State offered an extension due to the issues that businesses
were having. Recently, the State has issued a second extension opportunity. He
pointed out that the date is through February 23, 2023, so this is a retroactive
extension. He further clarified that this basically sets the date for which they would
be measured against for all investments, jobs, and other targets of compliance and
that this is managed and data is reconciled by the Virginia Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services. This is a process by which they would be
willing to extend the time to meet the targets.
Mayor Turk asked if this was basically an agreement that they would agree to use
Virginia-made products, employee people from the area, and that type of
requirement in order to receive the grant.
Mr. Light responded that the metrics were related to investment, jobs, and Virginia-
bred products.
Mr. Jones asked how far out the timetable goes now.
Mr. Light responded that this is retroactive to February of 2023. That means that
would be able to count all of the investment and jobs data as of February 23, 2023,
and the State would evaluate based off of that data.
Mr. Foley asked to clarify if Parkway did not meet the measurements, would they
have to repay based on contractual language.
Mr. Light responded yes. The State put in a certain amount of money and the City
contributed money through the EDA.
Mr. Taliaferro further clarified that these amounts were $150,000 each.
Randy Foley motioned to approve an extension in the Performance Agreement
between the City of Salem, Parkway Brewing Company, LLC, and the Economic
Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Salem; and authorization to the City
Manager to issue the required written approval extending the Performance Date to
February 23, 2023. William Jones seconded the motion.
Ayes: Foley, Holliday, Jones, Turk
Abstain: Wallace
C. Boards and Commissions
Consider appointments to various boards and commissions.
Mayor Turk noted that there is currently an opening on the Economic Development
Authority (EDA). This would be for a partial term through December of 2024 to
complete the term vacated by Rob Robinson and that citizens could apply online if
they felt this was something they would be interested in. She shared that the EDA
works as a group with the City's Economic Development Director to look at
different projects that are possibilities in Salem to help sustain the local businesses
currently here and to promote growth. They study grants and funding that they may
be able to offer businesses. A full term would be a four-year term if someone
wanted to apply at the end of the end of the current term. She remarked that this
would be a good way to try this position and see if it was a good fit.
Randy Foley motioned to recommend Janie Whitlow for Circuit Court
reappointment to the Board of Equalization of Real Estate Assessments for a three-
year term expiring November 30, 2026; to recommend Tony Rippee for Circuit
Court reappointment as an alternate on the Board of Zoning Appeals for a full five-
year term expiring October 12, 2028 and Steve Belanger for Circuit Court
reappointment as an alternate on the Board of Zoning Appeals for a full five-year
term expiring November 13, 2028; and upon CPMT approval, to recommend Joshua
Vaught from Court Services as an alternate on the Community Policy Management
Team. H Hunter Holliday seconded the motion.

Date: 10/23/2023
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SALEM,
VIRGINIA HELD AT CITY HALL
AGENDA ITEM: Special Exception Permit
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Bruce Maxey, property
owner, for the issuance of a Special Exception permit to allow a 1,200
square foot detached garage on the property located at 1862 Murrell
Avenue (Tax Map # 128-1-4). (Advertised in the October 12
and 19, 2023, issues of the Salem Times-
Register.) (Recommend approval with condition; see page 2 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: Residential
Proposed Use: Residential
The subject property (1862 Murrell Avenue, Tax Map # 128-1-4) consists of a 2.03 acre tract of land
that sits within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district. The applicant has submitted a
rough sketch with the intention to construct an accessory structure on his property; however,
because the proposed plans indicate a square footage of greater than 1,000 (1,500 square feet), a
Special Exception Permit is required.
If approved, the preliminary plan indicate that the structure will be constructed behind the rear
building line of the home on the property, largely (if not entirely) shielded from the public view. The
applicant intends to use the detached garage for storage of equipment and vehicles. The existing
accessory structure on the property would be removed after the construction of the planned pole
barn garage. The structure will be required to adhere to the site development regulations
prescribed in Section 106-202.3. (B) 2. Accessory Structures of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential, still consistent with the
proposed utilization of the property should the Special Exception Permit be granted.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-202.3. Site development regulations for RSF.

A. Special Exception Permit
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Bruce Maxey, property owner, for the
issuance of a Special Exception permit to allow a 1,200 square foot detached garage on
the property located at 1862 Murrell Avenue (Tax Map # 128-1-4).
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (1862 Murrell Avenue, Tax Map # 128-1-4) consists of a 2.03acre
tract of land that sits within the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district. The
applicant has submitted a rough sketch with the intention to construct an accessory
structure on his property; however, because the proposed plans indicate a square footage
of greater than 1,000 (1,500 square feet), a Special Exception Permit is required.
If approved, the preliminary plan indicate that the structure will be constructed behind the
rear building line of the home on the property, largely (if not entirely) shielded from the
public view. The applicant intends to use the detached garage for storage of equipment and
vehicles. The existing accessory structure on the property would be removed after the
construction of the planned pole barn garage. The structure will be required to adhere to the
site development regulations prescribed in Section 106-202.3. (B) 2. Accessory Structures
of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential, still consistent with
the proposed utilization of the property should the Special Exception Permit be granted.
Bruce Maxey, property, 1862 Murrell Avenue, appeared before the Commission and stated
that he would like to build a garage a little bit bigger than is allowed by right. He stated that
the garage would be used for his hobbies (motorcycles) and lawn equipment storage. The
garage would be built in the rear of the property and would be lower in elevation than the
primary structure.
Member Conner questioned the timeframe necessary to remove the old building once
the new building is constructed.
Mr. Maxey mentioned that it is his desire to remove the old building as soon as possible
and requested six months from the time the new building is constructed to remove the old
structure.
Chair Daulton asked if Mr. Maxey plans on "coming around" his house to enter the new
garage.
Mr. Maxey noted the location of the driveway and structure.
Member Garst asked if staff had received any correspondence regarding the matter.
Mary Ellen Wines, Zoning Administrator, stated that no correspondence was
received.
Member Beamer inquired about height requirements.
Ms. Wines noted that accessory structures cannot be taller than the principal
structure measured from the average adjacent grade.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Neil Conner motioned approve the request of Bruce Maxey, property owner, for the
issuance of a Special Exception permit to allow a 1,200 square foot detached garage on the
property located at 1862 Murrell Avenue (Tax Map # 128-1-4) with the condition that the
old structure to be removed within 180 days of the final building inspection approval.
Jackson Beamer seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst
Absent: King
B. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Crystal Lowery, property owner, for
rezoning the property located at 1000 Blk Ohio Ave (Tax Map # 197-1-15) from HM
Heavy Manufacturing District to RSF Residential Single-Family District.
Staff noted the following:
The subject property (1000 blk Ohio Ave, Tax Map # 197-1-15) consists of a 0.172-acre
tract of land that sits within the HM Heavy Manufacturing zoning district. The applicant is
requesting a rezoning of the property to the RSF Residential Single Family zoning district
in order to construct a single family detached dwelling.
This item was presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) on Wednesday,
September 27, 2023, in an effort to obtain a variance regarding the lot size, lot width,
and road frontage requirements of the RSF Residential Single-Family District. The
Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved the request.
If approved, this rezoning request would permit the applicant to build the proposed 1,248
square foot single family home. Primary access to this unit would likely be from the rear
alley, mimicking that of the adjacent home (1021 Ohio Avenue). Any residential
development on this property (aside from requirements lifted by variance) will be
required to adhere to the development standards prescribed in Section 106-202.3. Site
development regulations of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as residential, still consistent with
the proposed utilization of the property should the Special Exception Permit be granted.
Don Haddon of Balzer and Associates, appeared before the Commission on behalf of the
property owner, and stated that the request for rezoning is to build a 1,250 square foot
detached single-family home with access to the lot from the rear alley. He stated that
driveway access from the rear would be expanded to allow for emergency vehicles to turn
around. He also noted that the property had recently received a variance to meet RSF
requirements.
Member Garst noted that the new "turnaround" is not shown on the provided plans.
Mr. Haddon stated that the new design will be reflected on the building plans if the
request is approved.
A discussion was held regarding the alley--where it stops, parking, etc. It was noted that
the turnaround improvements will be located on the property, not in the alley itself.
Mr. Joe Foley, 302 Academy Street, appeared before the Commission and stated that he is
not speaking in opposition to the item, but he has concerns regarding allowing primary
access from alleys. His concern revolves around emergency services and other city
services (trash removal, etc.) He would like the city to plan ahead and understand the
potential consequences.
Member Conner stated that he has managed properties with rear access, and he does not
believe it will be an issue.
No other person(s) appeared related to the request.
Reid Garst motioned approve the request of Crystal Lowery, property owner, for
rezoning the property located at 1000 Blk Ohio Ave (Tax Map # 197-1-15) from HM
Heavy Manufacturing District to RSF Residential Single-Family District. Neil Conner
seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Daulton, Garst
Absent: King

Thursday, September 27, 2023, 4:00 PM
Council Chambers, 114 North Broad Street, Salem, Virginia
1. Call to Order
A regular meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals of the City of Salem, Virginia, was
held after due and proper notice in the Council Chambers, 114 North Broad Street, Salem,
Virginia, at 4:00 p.m., on September 27, 2023. Notice of such hearing was published in
the September 14, and 21, 2023, issues of the "Salem Times Register", a newspaper
published and having general circulation in the City. All adjacent property owners were
notified via the U. S. Postal Service.
The Board, constituting a legal quorum, presided together with Jim H. Guynn, Jr., City
Attorney, Maxwell S. Dillion, Planner, and Mary Ellen Wines, Planning and Zoning
Administrator; and the following business was transacted:
Captain Copenhaver called the hearing to order at 4:02 p.m.
2. Roll Call
Mr. Zoller, here. Mr. Sellars, here. Mr. Eanes, here. Mr. Gresham, here. Captain
Copenhaver, here.
3. Disclaimer
Captain Copenhaver declared that should anyone disagree with the Board’s decision shall
have the right to appeal to the Circuit Court of the City of Salem. You must exercise the
right to appeal no later than thirty (30) days following the Board’s decision by filing a
petition to the Circuit Court specifying the grounds on which aggrieved. Chairman
Copenhaver asked if everyone understood, if not, to ask when they approach.
4. New Business
A. Variance Request
Request of Crystal G. H. Lowery, property owner, for a variance from Section 106-
202.3(A) of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance pertaining to site development
regulations, for the property located at 1000 block of Ohio Avenue, Tax Map # 197-1-15.
The petitioner is requesting a variance of twenty-five (25) feet of frontage, twenty-five (25)
feet of lot width and one thousand five hundred square feet (1,500) square feet of lot area.
Proper legal notice has been given and all property owners have been notified of said
hearing. There have been two (2) phone calls inquiring as to what the request is about and
one (1) neighboring property owner that had some concerns as far as access goes; that may
be better addressed through the rezoning process if it moves forward.
Captain Copenhaver asked if all the board members had the opportunity to review the
correspondence associated with this matter. All responded with yes. Captain Copenhaver
asked the petitioner or their representative approach and present their case, asking for them
to state their name, address, and relationship to this hearing.
Donald Haddon employed at 1208 Corporate Circle with Balzer and Associates, the agent
of the requesting party. Crystal Lowery approached Balzer requesting that they do a
variance because there is a requirement for rezoning. This variance would go right along
with most of all the other lots in that area. Across the alley is already zoned RSF and the
lots are of like size and shaping in square footage. Future land use for the city is RSF. They
would like it to be single family and across Ohio Avenue is that redevelopment of the
Valleydale site, which is going to be a very large residential reuse for that parcel there. So,
it fits right in line with everything that is happening in the area. We are requesting a little
bit of a variance from the lot size and frontage. Lot size is currently 50 by 130. if he
remembers correctly, and we are asking for a variance of fifteen hundred (1,500) square
foot from the required square footage of RSF and twenty-five (25) foot of road frontage of
the required road frontage to accommodate a preexisting non-conforming lot.
Captain Copenhaver asked if Mr. Haddon could tell a bit more on how they are planning on
a building fitting in this lot and where the situation wise in relation to the lot next to it.
Donald Haddon answered the house next door at 1021 is the only lot other than the very
first lot at the alley that are being accessed from the alley. We are planning on setting our
proposed dwelling that is twenty-six (26) feet wide and forty-eight (48) feet deep, fifty (50)
foot back from the alley and that would put the front of that house right around, he did not
know what would be considered the front of the adjoining house at. It is accessing from the
alley, so we would consider the front on the alley. This building would be almost dead in
line with the back side of that house. This is going to allow for a little bit more off street
parking and drive there. Not to have a car to close to the alley to impede any traffic so to
say any turn arounds of emergency vehicles so to say. It is going to provide for a better turn
around in that area.
Captain Copenhaver asked if there was a plan to create an access from Ohio Avenue.
Donald Haddon responded that there was not currently, simply because of the topography
of the lot. The question was brought up about access. The main concern was of the
emergency vehicles back there. Currently there is an existing little gravel drive up front that
is insufficient for a driveway and insufficient for a turnaround especially for say a fire
truck. But if a forty (40) foot long driveway was added to get parking in front of this house
and to make it double wide that would give plenty of space to turn around. There is an
option of putting a parking spot down there and running a sidewalk down for emergency
access if that was a concern.
Mr. Zoller asked what the side yard setback requirement?
Ms. Wines responded that for RSF Residential Single Family, it is ten (10)% of the lot
width. Example if the lot is fifty (50) they require five (5) feet and that includes any
overhang, guttering, any part of the home.
Donald Haddon stated it will have a side yard setback of seven (7) feet. The sewer
connection would be to the alley, water connection out to Ohio.
Captain Copenhaver asked if there were any other persons wanting to speak on this matter.
Hearing none, Captain Copenhaver closed the public hearing.
Mr. Gresham motioned for approval.
Mr. Eanes seconded the motion.
Roll Call vote: Mr. Zoller, aye. Mr. Sellars, aye. Mr. Eanes, aye. Mr. Gresham, aye.
Captain Copenhaver, aye.
Captain Copenhaver stated the decision of the Zoning Administrator for the City of Salem
in refusing to issue a permit to the petitioner is hereby confirmed. The variation from the
terms of the zoning ordinance requested in the application of the petitioner should be, and
the same is, hereby granted in accordance with the application presented at this meeting.
The petitioner may now pursue rezoning. The next planning commission meeting will meet
on the 11th of October. Followed by City Council meeting on the 23rd of October. The
secretary of the Board of Zoning Appeals is here by instructed to certify a copy of this
order to the Clerk of City Council and the Building Official of the City of Salem. This
hearing is complete.
Captain Copenhaver adjourned the meeting at 4:11 pm.
