Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers
3. New Business
A. Variance Request
Request of the City of Salem, property owner, and Roanoke County, project
administrator, for a variance from Section 106-226.7 of the Code of the City of Salem, to
allow construction of the greenway trail, extending from the existing trail on Salem City
owned property (Tax Map # 178- 4-1) near Kingsmill Drive to the Roanoke County
owned property (Parcel ID # 056.01-01- 17.00-0000) near Riverside Nursery. Section
106—226.7(A) states that no new construction shall be permitted, except where the effect
of such development on flood heights is fully offset. Proper legal notice was given, and
all adjacent property owners were notified.
David Henderson, the Roanoke County Engineer, introduced the project and stated that
Roanoke County has been working with the City of Salem for a number of years in an
effort to get this project completed. He mentioned that this project is part of the Roanoke
River Greenway project, and highlighted that the topography in this area will cause the
project to move through the floodway, but engineering studies have shown there to be no
net rise in Base Flood Elevation.
Vice Chairmen Copenhaver inquired about the details of the studies showing no impact
on Base Flood Elevation.
Tom Austin, of Mattern and Craig Engineers, appeared before the board and referenced a
graphic which showed the proposed greenway trail (grey), the retaining wall(s) to be
constructed (yellow), and the floodway boundaries (blue). He shared several building
profiles of the greenway trail and corresponding retaining wall(s) which indicates no net
rise in Base Flood Elevation. Mr. Austin highlighted that because the trail meanders in
and out of the floodway in this particular section, measurements and estimates are
somewhat variable. Still, the provided study concludes that this project will have no net
rise in Base Flood Elevation – and potentially a decrease in some cases.
Chairmen Dubois asked whether or not this project would have an impact on flood
insurance for property owners.
William L. Simpson Jr., City Engineer for the City of Salem, noted that the reduction in
Base Flood Elevation will actually reduce flood risks for nearby property owners.
Mr. Gresham inquired as to the details of what will actually have to be done between
Kings Mill Road and the Roanoke County border.
Mike Johnson, a project manager for Hurt and Proffitt, explained that the trail will be a
paved path – 10 feet wide with a 2 foot shoulder – that moves along the river, in part at
the top of the required retaining wall(s).
Mr. Gresham inquired about the details of the proposed retaining walls.
William L. Simpson Jr., City Engineer, responded and clarified exactly where this portion
of the trail will begin, and the nature of the elevation variation as it moves westward
towards Roanoke County.
Joy Bird, a resident of Woodbridge, inquired about the impact on the entrance to
Woodbridge during construction.
Mike Johnson of Hurt and Proffitt stated that impact will be fairly minimal in the City,
and that the heaviest impact will be where the Greenway currently crosses West
Riverside Drive.
Ed Whitson, a nearby resident, asked whether the deciduous trees located between West
Riverside Drive and the Roanoke River will be removed as part of the project and
mentioned their value as a buffer to property owners.
Mike Johnson of Hurt and Proffitt responded the tree clearing has been minimized during
the design phase of the project. He highlighted that a good portion of the deciduous trees
in question will be retained.
Chairmen Dubois made a motion to approve the variance to allow the construction of the
greenway trail, extending from the existing trail on Salem City owned property (Tax Map
# 178- 4-1) near Kingsmill Drive to the Roanoke County owned property (Parcel ID #
056.01-01- 17.00-0000) near Riverside Nursery. Frank Sellers seconded the motion.
Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers
After the Board’s vote, Mr. Gresham emphasized that the approval rendered by the Board
of Zoning Appeals was in relation to the project’s impact on the flow of water, and not
the design or construction of the Greenway itself.
B. Variance Request
Request of the City of Salem, property owner, for a variance from Section 106-226.7 of
the Code of the City of Salem, to allow the bridge widening of Apperson Drive Bridge
along with incidental greenway trail work on and near the 1600 block East Riverside
Drive (Tax Map # 259-2-1). Section 106—226.7(A) states that no new construction shall
be permitted, except where the effect of such development on flood heights is fully offset.
Proper legal notice was given, and all adjacent property owners were notified.
Tom Austin of Mattern and Craig Engineers appeared before the Board on behalf of the
applicant, the City of Salem. Mr. Austin provided a brief presentation regarding the
Apperson Bridge expansion and widening project which included pictures of the bridge
itself, along with an overlay map which illustrates its presence within the floodway. Mr.
Austin also explained that the hydraulic opening associated with the bridge would not be
increased in any way.
Vice Chairmen Copenhaver inquired as to whether there would be a portion of the bridge
dedicated to pedestrians.
Mr. Austin clarified that there would be a physical barrier between the lanes designated
for vehicular traffic and the pedestrian path and referenced a graphic in his presentation
which illustrated this design.
Chairmen Dubois asked staff what the schedule for completion for the project would be.
William L. Simpson Jr., City Engineer, responded that the current estimate is 18 months
once the project is underway, which is expected to be in the late fall of 2023.
Chairmen Dubois inquired about the project’s impact on flood insurance for adjacent
properties, and whether this study provided all of the data necessary to obtain permits
related to the project.
William L. Simpson Jr. responded that there would be no impact in regard to flood
insurance, and stated that the required permitting will have more to do with other
environmental components, not necessarily the floodway impact.
Vice Chairmen Copenhaver asked City Staff if it concurred with the findings of the
report.
William L. Simpson Jr. responded in the affirmative.
Gary L. Eanes made a motion to approve the variance to allow the bridge widening of
Apperson Drive Bridge along with incidental greenway trail work on and near the 1600
block East Riverside Drive (Tax Map # 259-2-1). F. Van Gresham seconded the motion.
Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers
2. A. Election of Officers
Vice Chairmen Copenhaver noted that the Board needed to complete a few administrative
matters.
Vice Chairmen Copenhavor nominated Chairmen Dubois to retain his role as Chairmen.
Frank B. Sellers Jr. seconded the motion.
Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers
F. Van Gresham nominated Vice Chairmen Copenhavor to retain is role as Vice Chair.
Frank B. Sellers Jr. seconded the motion.
Ayes: Dubois, Copenhaver, Gresham, Eanes, Sellers
2. B. Minutes

Board of Zoning Appeals meetings, to which Chairmen Dubois seconded. All members
of the Board voted Aye.

APPLICANTS’ REQUEST
The request of Boone Thomas LLC, property owners, for a variance from Section 106-
208.3(B)(1) of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance pertaining to site development regulations,
for the property located at 100 block Richfield Avenue, Tax Map # 120-1-3. The petitioners are
requesting a 13-foot rear-yard setback variance to allow for the construction of a house and
deck. Section 106-208.3(B)(1) states that single-family dwellings shall conform with the
setback requirements of Section 106-202.3(B)(1), which requires a 25-foot rear-yard setback.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The 100 block of Richfield Avenue is zoned RB, Residential Business District. The property
currently is comprised of 0.157 acres and sits vacant; however, the owners of the parcel have
had intentions of developing a single-family home for several years now.
The 2017 Zoning Ordinance adjustment introduced new standards for single family homes in
the RB Residential Business District, requiring that they meet the Site development
regulations outlined in Sec. 106-202.3 (RSF) as opposed to the setback requirements provided
in Sec. 106-208.3 (RB). As a result, the rear-yard setback for this project changed from 15 feet
to 25 feet, rendering the building plans for the developer in violation of the zoning ordinance.
The applicant is seeking a 13-foot rear-yard setback variance to accommodate the original
buildings plans for the construction of a single-family home with an attached deck.
RELEVANT EXCERPTS FROM ZONING ORDINANCE
Sec. 106-202.3. Site development regulations.
The following are general development standards for the RSF Residential Single-Family
District. For additional, modified or more stringent standards see article III, use and design
standards.
(B) Minimum Setback Requirements.
1. Principal Structure:
Front Yard: 25 feet, if right-of-way is 50 feet or greater in width; 50 feet from the
centerline of any right-of-way less than 50 feet in width. However, if an adjoining
lot is developed, no principal structure shall be required to have a front yard
greater than that observed by an existing building on an adjoining lot.
Side Yard: Any side yard shall be a minimum of ten percent of lot width.
However, under no circumstances shall either side yard be required to exceed 25
feet.
Rear Yard: 25 feet.
