subject parcels which presently shields the view of property owners to the west

parcels to the end that the view of owners of property to the west will remain

unsightly vegetation from their property and may plant additional trees; Update:

Mayor Foley stated that this date and time had been set to hold a public
hearing and to consider an ordinance on first reading considering the request of
Frank G. Sr. and Mary Ann L. Monsour, property owners, for rezoning the
property located at 129-131 Mill Lane (Tax Map #165-2-1.2) from BCD Business
Commerce District to HBD Highway Business District; notice of such hearing was
published in the May 8 and 15, 2013, issues of The Roanoke Times, a newspaper
having general circulation in the City of Salem; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its regular meeting held May 15,
2013, recommended approval; and
WHEREAS, staff noted the following: the subject property consists of one
parcel of .61 acres, located on the east side of Mill Lane between the Roanoke
River and the railroad crossing; the property is currently zoned BCD Business
Commerce District; it is occupied by two vacant buildings; the property owners
initially purchased the property for their residence; however, due to the zoning,
they were not able to use it for residential purposes; recently, they had interest
from Ziggy’s Entertainment, but the deal fell through when it was determined
the zoning did not accommodate this use; this request is to rezone the property
to HBD Highway Business District to accommodate future uses found in that
zoning category; and this property lies partially within the Roanoke River
Floodway and other associated flood zones; and
WHEREAS, Frank G. Monsour, Sr., property owner, appeared before the
Council in support of the request; he stated that he is trying to rezone the
property to allow more options for business development; he stated that he
believes that the possible tenants who wanted to lease the property for five
years may enter into a lease agreement if the property is rezoned; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Planning and Economic Development noted
that the property was looked at several years ago as part of the Flood Mitigation
Program, but because of the nature of the business, the funds were not available
to do that; the property is located right along the river and having a business
located on the property makes better sense than a residence; the request is a
down-zoning and staff feels that it is compatible with the use of the property;
and
WHEREAS, no other person(s) appeared regarding the request; and
WHEREAS, Mayor Foley noted that Council normally does not favor
down-zoning, he feels that there is no other alternative in this instance;

WHEREAS, the Director of Finance noted that the City’s current cigarette
tax rate is $0.15 per pack or $0.0075 per cigarette; it is proposed as part of the
budget to increase the rate to $0.0226 per cigarette or $0.45 per pack; she
stated that Council was provided information on where the increase would place
the City in regards to other cities within the Commonwealth; and
WHEREAS, Teresa, 2112 Bainbridge Drive, appeared before the Council
and stated that she is a 40-year employee Layman Candy and Tobacco Company;
she stated that through her 40 years, she has seen cities increase the cigarette
tax to where cigarettes have priced themselves out of the cities and towns;
within two miles of the City of Salem, a person can go to Roanoke County and
save $4.50 per carton of cigarettes; she stated that people will drive to Roanoke
County to save the money and will also purchase gasoline and other items at the
convenience stores outside of Salem; she stated that through the years she has
seen convenience store sales slowly decrease and the cigarette sales decrease;
she stated that Layman Candy and tobacco Company has had to find other
avenues for sources of income; she noted that cigarette sales have decreased
due to health reasons, and the high costs through federal, state, and local taxes;
she realizes that the City needs to generate more revenue, but feels that to keep
increasing something that only the working-class contributes to; she also feels
that the City needs to do more things to generate more revenue such as better
restaurants other than chicken; she does not support the increase in the
cigarette tax and asked that if the tax is increased, that it only be increased a
minute amount; and
WHEREAS, Dan Schultheis, Princeton, WV, Sheetz District Manager,
appeared before the Council in opposition to the proposed increase; he stated
that the proposed increase will affect the stores he oversees; the two stores in
Salem currently employ 57 employees; he stated that the current price of a pack
of cigarettes at his store on Peters Creek Road in Roanoke City is $5.45; Salem is
asking for a $0.45 increase per pack of cigarettes; and
WHEREAS, it was noted that the proposed increase is $0.30 per pack, not
$0.45 per pack; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Schultheis stated that when the rate was increased in
Roanoke City, Store 295 on Peters Creek Road lost $1,000 per week in cigarette
7
sales, $10,000 per week in total sales because the customers that stop don’t only
buy cigarettes, they buy gasoline, drinks, food, etc.; he stated that it was a very
significant loss for the store; the store went from 32 employees to 26
employees; he stated that the two stores located in Salem employ 57 employees
and he is not sure how it will affect those employees; he stated that about one -
third of the customers come from Roanoke to Salem to purchase cigarettes, etc.,
and he feels that those people will no longer come from Roanoke to Salem if the
cigarette tax is increased; and
WHEREAS, Kirtesh Patel, 2126 River Oaks Drive, appeared before the
Council and stated that he was speaking on behalf of the Asian American
Business Owners Association, who represent many convenience stores from
Harrisonburg to Abingdon, VA; he stated that there are 300 members in the
association; he questioned if the decision to increase the cigarette tax was based
on health reasons or for financial reasons; and
WHEREAS, Mayor Foley stated that for him it is more revenue driven than
health driven; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Patel stated that if the increase was based upon health
reasons, then he would support the increase; he feels that Council needs to
consider a different revenue source because the percentage of the increase will
not generate the same increase in revenue; he stated that the increase would be
beneficial if Salem was an isolated city, but there are other options for people to
go to purchase cigarettes other than Salem in order to save money; and
WHEREAS, Kamlesh Jhaveri, 100 Kimball Avenue, Apartment D42,
appeared before the Council; he stated that he is also representing the same
organization as Mr. Patel and concurs with Mr. Patel; he gave Council a
graph/study showing that the consumer who just purchases cigarettes spends an
average of $10 on each visit and makes on average 10 visits to the store each
month; the average cigarette consumer purchases more than just cigarettes,
spends an average of $12.50 per visit and makes on average 12 visits a month;
he stated that if the cigarette tax is increased, he will lose business; if he loses
business, he will not be able to stay in business for a long time; he stated that if
one convenience store closes, it affects nine (9) families; he asked that Council
not increase the cigarette tax; and

cigarette tax; and
8
WHEREAS, Councilman Jones stated that during the discussions based
upon past experiences, cigarette sales decreased, but it was a temporary
decrease; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance stated that in her prior experience
when the cigarette tax was first implemented and they increased the cigarette
tax, there is a slight timing change and there is a decrease; she stated that there
was a small decrease and then it leveled out at some point that was not
proportional to the increase—if the rate was doubled, the revenue did not
double but it did increase and it took a few months for that to happen; and
WHEREAS, a discussion was held regarding the cigarette tax increase,
stores relocating, etc.; and
WHEREAS, it was noted that Council has also increased its lodging tax,
and food tax as other revenue sources; and
WHEREAS, Mayor Foley questioned what is the point where an increase
in the cigarette tax would hurt retailers; currently, consumers can currently save
$1.50 per carton of cigarettes by purchasing cigarettes in Roanoke County;
therefore, what amount of increase would not cause consumers to drive
elsewhere to purchase cigarettes; and
WHEREAS, a discussion was held regarding what tax would be fair to
retailers, “market forces,” etc.; and
WHEREAS, Andy Gil, 610 Colorado Street, appeared before the Council
and stated that he represents Gil Brothers Market on 41 West Fourth Street; he
stated that the customers he sees in his store are every day, local customers; he
stated that the customers who come into his store will continue to come to his
store even with a $0.30 tax increase on a pack of cigarettes; he stated that he
feels that he may lose a few customers, but not a lot overall; if the consumer
wants to purchase a carton of cigarettes, they are going to drive to the County to
purchase a carton of cigarettes; he stated that Salem already has the cheapest
gas in the area and people are going to drive to Salem to purchase gas and will
also purchase other items as well; and
WHEREAS, Kirtesch Patel reappeared before the Council and questioned
at what point will the consumers stop coming to Salem to purchase cigarettes;
he is not sure if Salem will actually see an increase in revenue from the increase
due to its close proximity to cheaper areas; and
