Mr. Foley asked for information on how discussion that was held in Audit-Finance
Committee meeting for this month in regard to this item would affect the pay scales
being proposed.
Mr. Jones responded that the discussion from Audit-Finance Committee was about
different classifications and how the money would be distributed since they are
dealing with both a compression and a pay issue. He noted that nothing had been
finalized and that only suggestions had been made.
Mr. Foley requested to know what positions the Audit-Finance Committee was
suggesting to not fund.

provided, just possibly not the amount that had been proposed.

May 22, 2023 meeting by Council. Audit - Finance Committee
Mr. Foley asked to clarify that Council was proposing a budget that would need to
be amended.
Mr. Jones responded that this was a possibility.
Mr. Foley questioned what the necessity for taking this action tonight was if it was
going to require a Special Session and require possible amendment for the second
reading.
Mr. Jones responded that this was due to a time limit.
Mr. Wallace said that he thought this evening Council was passing a generic bucket
of funding for tier one of the proposed employee compensation.

what.

recommendation back and that there would be five Council members making a
decision.

Mr. Foley asked to clarify that if the budget is amended, Council will need to
appropriate again with the new dollar figures.
Mr. Taliaferro explained that potentially this may be necessary if the overall budget
changes. If funds are shifted around within the budget that Council is debating
tonight, they potentially would not have to reappropriate.

of $250,000; and - Kiwanis Park Wall Pads in the amount of $110,000 These funds

in acting in this capacity. Each of these agencies reimburses the City for out-of-
pocket expenses, such as audit fees, materials and supplies, and all other contractual
related items. They also reimburse a portion of salaries and fringe benefits for all
departments involved in providing services to their agency. H Hunter Holliday

Absent: Turk

Mr. Foley asked to go on record as saying that every employee in the City,

to inflation. He thought it was being discussed that some not receive that amount
because of their position and he thought that was inadequate and irresponsible.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:53 p.m.

Staff noted the following: The subject property located at 1617 West Main Street consists of a 0.246-
acre tract of land shared with an additional address, 1619 West Main Street. This parcel possesses the
HBD Highway Business District zoning designation and is comprised of a two-story building with
commercial space on the ground floor and an apartment on the second floor. The apartment on the
second floor has lost its “grandfathering” and will not be able to be utilized as a residential space. The
3
property has been vacant since its occupancy by Aberration Music. The applicant is requesting a Special
Exception Permit be issued to allow for the operation of a pawn shop.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as commercial, which is consistent with the
proposed development of a pawn shop.
If approved, the applicant will have to submit application to the police department for dealing precious
metals, and ATF for dealing firearms.
Joshua Davis, 202 Baldrock Road, Roanoke, Virginia, appeared before the Commission and stated that
he currently owns four pawn shops in Lexington, Culpepper, Harrisonburg, and Williamsburg, Virginia,
and would like to operate one in Salem as well.
Vice Chair King asked what Mr. Davis plans to do with the building.
Mr. Davis stated that he plans to "take the edge off" of the building by placing some reclaimed wood
around the sign band, and things to make the building look more presentable and appealing for people to
come in shop.
Vice Chair King also asked what a commercial pawn shop entails.
Mr. Davis stated that he has been in finance the past 30 years and has semi-retired with this being his
"pet" project; he comes from a commercial background and not the traditional mom and pop pawn shops
you typically see. He stands behind everything sold--does things the "right way" and the locations are
fully regulated by the ATF, etc. He has opened up over 250 retail locations in the past 20 years. He
stated they are professionals.
Member Garst asked about any specialties offered for retail.
Mr. Davis stated that they offer jewelry, firearms, electronics, etc.
Vice Chair asked about the hours of operation.
Mr. Davis stated they would be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. five or six days a week depending on the market,
with the store typically closed on Wednesdays.
Chair Daulton reiterated that the upstairs of the building could not be used as an apartment.
Mr. Davis stated that he will not be utilizing the upstairs; he will be using the entire ground floor only.
Member Beamer asked when he planned to open the business.
Mr. Davis stated that the AFT application typically takes 60 days, the up fit takes 30 days, and once the
City has given its approval, he can get started so he feels it should be open in about 90 days.
Vice Chair King asked if he has had contact with Chief Crawley.
Mr. Davis stated that he will as part of the AFT application.

owner, for the issuance of a special exception permit to allow for personal service (barber shop) on the
property located at 514 West Main Street (Tax Map # 123 – 3 - 5).
Staff noted the following:
The subject property located at 514 West Main Street consists of a 0.41-acre tract of land shared with
two additional addresses, 506 and 510 West Main Street. This parcel possesses the RB Residential
Business zoning designation, and the subject building was formerly occupied by a personal service
before that business ceased operations several years ago. The applicant is requesting a Special Exception
Permit be issued to allow for a barber shop. The current business plan consists of one barber with two
salon chairs, with a potential staff expansion to two barbers in the future.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as mixed-use, which is consistent with the
proposed development of a barber shop given structure of the existing buildings and the current
character of the corridor.
Jerry Steele, 1620 McCauley Avenue, Salem, appeared before the Commission.
Vice Chair King asked if there would be a second barber.
Mr. Steele stated that there is a possibility, but he prefers to work alone.
Chair Daulton asked about parking.
Mr. Steele stated that he will park his vehicle behind the building and plans to remove the freestanding
sign in front of the building to make access easier.
A discussion was held regarding parking on the lot.
Member Beamer asked if appointments or walk-ins would be offered.
Mr. Steele stated he would prefer walk-ins.

would be addressed during the site plan review process.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this property as commercial, which is consistent with the
proposed use of a parking lot.
Scott Mann, 511 Walker Street, Radford, Virginia, appeared before the Commission on behalf of
Invision. He stated that they are busy, and parking is difficult sometimes; therefore, they would like to
save the best parking spaces for customers and have the employees park in the parcel in question.
Member Conner stated that the application states that you "anticipate" the lot to be used for parking and
questioned if Mr. Mann would proffer that the lot would only be used for parking.
Mr. Mann stated that he would proffer that the land will be used for parking.
Vice Chair asked about the shed on the property.
John Goodman, 929 South College Avenue appeared before the Commission and stated that the shed on
the property is the church's property and will likely be removed. He also stated that he and Mr. Mann
6
have spoken with the adjacent property owners to make them aware of their intentions, and they were
not opposed to the request and would prefer to see a parking lot instead of any other development on the
property.

process.

SUBMITTED BY: Mary Ellen Wines, CZA CFM, Planning & Zoning Administrator
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Zoning: HBD Highway Business District
Land Use Plan Designation: Commercial
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: Pawn shop
The subject property located at 1617 West Main Street consists of a 0.246 acre tract of land
shared with an additional address, 1619 West Main Street. This parcel possesses the HBD
Highway Business District zoning designation, and is comprised of a two-story building with
commercial space on the ground floor and an apartment on the second floor. The apartment
on the second floor has lost its “grandfathering” and will not be able to be utilized as a
residential space. The property has been vacant since its occupancy by Abberation Music. The
applicant is requesting a Special Exception Permit be issued to allow for the operation of a
pawn shop.
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) identifies this area as commercial, which is consistent with
the proposed development of a pawn shop.
If approved, the applicant will have to submit application to the police department for dealing
precious metals, and ATF for dealing firearms.
REQUIREMENTS:
The proposal meets the requirements of Section 106-214.2 (B). Permitted uses in HBD.
OPTIONS:
