owner, for rezoning the property located at 527-529 Delaware Street (Tax Map #
146-8-7) from C BD C ommunity Business District to RB Residential Business
T he Executive Secretary reported that notice of said hearing had been published in
the October 1 and 8, 2020, issues of the Salem Times-Register, and all property
owners were notified by letter mailed September 28, 2020.
Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property consists of a
single parcel of approximately 0.2 acres, located on the west side of Delaware
Street, to the north of the intersection with 4th Street. It is occupied by a single
family residence, with attached hair salon and parking area at the rear of the
property. T he applicant states she would like to renovate and rent the former hair
salon space behind the house as a separate residence. T his would require rezoning
the property to allow for the issuance of a Special Exception Permit for a Two-
Family Dwelling (Item 4B). Two-family dwellings are not allowed in C BD zoning.
T he Executive Secretary noted that Items 4A and 4B are related to the same
property so if it is okay with the Commission the public hearing would be handled
as one.
C hair Daulton opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone to speak
regarding the requests.
Tammy Scaggs of 1797 Richland Hills Drive, Salem, representing her mother,
Phyllis R. Booth McC raw, appeared before the C ommission explaining the rezoning
and Special Exception Permit requests. She noted her mother used to operate a
beauty salon in the space behind the house. T hey would like to convert this space to
a one bedroom apartment. T he space is separate from the main dwelling and has a
separate entrance.

C .Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of J SS Holdings, LLC c/o Payal Shah,
contract purchaser and CedarHurst Properties, LLC, property owner, for rezoning
the property located at 16 Goodwin Avenue (Tax Map #125-2-1) from RSF
Residential Single Family to HBD Highway Business District.
T he Executive Secretary reported that notice of said hearing had been published in
the October 1 and 8, 2020, issues of the Salem Times-Register, and all property
owners were notified by letter mailed September 28, 2020.
Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property consists of a
single parcel of approximately 0.321 acres. It is located at the northwest corner of
Goodwin Avenue and Richards Lane. T he property is occupied by a two-family
dwelling. T he applicant states that they have been unsuccessful at renting the
property for residential uses due to the surrounding commercial activities and would
like to change its use to a commercial one. T hey also own the two parcels to the
south (1121 and 1111-1107 West Main Street) and would like to create a parking
area at 16 Goodwin that will allow additional parking for those properties to make
them more attractive for redevelopment.
T he Executive Secretary noted that Items 4C and 4D are related to the same
property so if the Commission would like it can be handled as one public hearing.
C hair Daulton opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone to speak
regarding the requests.
Ben C rew with Balzer and Associates, representing the contract purchaser, appeared
before the C ommission explaining the rezoning and Special Exception Permit
requests. He noted that the contract purchaser is also with him this evening. He
stated that this request has been months and years in the making based on careful
consideration by the contract purchaser. T he property has been for sale for some
time and and has had limited success over the years as a residential structure. T he
property is unique due to its location directly across the street from what he
contends is one of the busiest drive thru restaurants on West Main Street. T his
makes it a challenging site for residential use. T he contract purchaser also owns the
properties located across Richards Lane which are 1107-1111 and 1121 West Main
Street. He further noted this project provides an excellent opportunity to the City of
Salem to gain additional commercial property in a suitable location, while
supporting existing businesses and helping to promote future re-development along
West Main Street.
Payal Shah of J SS Holdings, LLC , 5855 Winbrook Drive, Roanoke, appeared
before the C ommission. Ms. Shah noted her company wants to make Salem a
beautiful and vibrant place. She further discussed the project and noted that her
company is trying to bring new national tenants to Salem. She noted that they
currently own the properties located at 1107-1111, 1121 and 903 West Main Street.
C hair Daulton asked if they planned to tear down the existing building on the
property in order to provide the additional parking shown on the concept plan
submitted. Ms. Shah noted that they will keep the building because there is enough
room on the back of the property for the parking.
Vice C hair King asked how many parking spaces are they proposing to add. Ms.
Shah noted that they would be gaining 16 parking spaces. T here are already two
spaces in the front.
Mr. C onner asked what would be the uses for the building. Would it be offices or
retail? Ms. Shah stated at this point they do not know the uses, but it might be used
for offices or a spa or something like that. Mr. C rew stated that this is a small
structure so there are very limited uses for the building. T hey would anticipate some
sort of small user due to the constraints of the existing structure.
Vice C hair King noted the information submitted talked about buffering. She asked
if they would be buffering the northern and eastern lines. Mr. Crew noted that this
was correct.
T here was further discussion regarding the additional parking on the rear of the
property.
Mr. C onner asked staff if this was the least intensive zoning that will allow them to
do what they are trying to do. Would RB Residential Business zoning support the
parking and maybe an insurance agent or something like that? Ms. Wines noted that
it is not the least intensive that it could contain an office or medical office right now;
but looking at the future, the proposed zoning would encompass what the contract
purchaser would potentially want to do with this corner. It could be zoned a lighter
commercial use which would cover what they would like to do currently, but they
might have to come back in the future to ask for it to be rezoned again, if they
further develop this corner.
C hair Daulton asked staff if the 16 parking spaces is an issue. Ms. Wines noted that
this is not a problem as this would have to go through site plan review so staff will
make sure that it meets all the regulations. Further, she does not think the parking
will be a problem. T here was further discussion regarding the parking and site plan
review requirements.
Mr. Beamer asked staff if they were okay with the request. Do they see any
hiccups, etc.? Mr. Tripp noted he believes this is a question of does the
C ommission see this request as appropriate. If they see it as appropriate to change
the use/zoning as the applicants are requesting, then they should recommend it be
rezoned. Staff will make sure that the project meets all the C ity regulations with
regards to site plan approval.
Mr. Taliaferro noted to expand on the question regarding the parking. It makes it a
lot cleaner to have the off-site parking property the same zoning as the principle use
because we would not want a commercial property to use a residential-zoned
property for off-site parking.
T here was additional discussion regarding the proposed zoning classification for the
property.
Mr. G arst asked if there are any limitations on lighting since this will be bordering
two residential properties. Mr. C rew noted they will have to meet the same lighting
standards whether it is next to a commercial site or next to a residential site. He
noted the foot candle requirements at the property line which will be more effective
in this situation because of the evergreen buffering on the residential sides. He
believes the intent is to have enough light for the parking to make it safe, but it will
not be a bright lit up parking lot next to residential uses.
Mr. Beamer asked about the buffering for the northern and eastern property lines.
He further asked if there would be a fence, also. Mr. C rew noted a Type B buffer
will be required. T he Type B buffer consists of an eight-foot buffer yard, one row of
small evergreen trees, one row of evergreen shrubs. T hey are not proposing a fence
at this time.
Lorrie C oe-Meade of 825 N. Twelfth Street, Wytheville, and 19 N . Bruffey Street,
Salem appeared before the C ommission in opposition to the request. She noted her
husband is also in the audience.
Billy Meade of 825 N. Twelfth Street, Wytheville, and 19 N. Bruffey Street, Salem
appeared before the C ommission in opposition to the request. He noted the owners
of the property have stated they have been unable to rent the property because of the
appearance of the outside and because the McD onalds. If the property owners had
maintained the property, then they might have been able to rent it. He noted that the
property looks like a junk yard. He would not want to rent it if he was looking for
rental property. He further discussed the other neighbors in this area, and he objects
very strongly to this property being rezoned.
Mrs. C oe-Meade noted that they are very concerned about the disruption and also
the depreciation of their property. T heir intent is to retire at this location. If the lot is
rezoned, it does not matter what they intend to do with it now. With the proposed
zoning, they can do what they want with the property in the future. Further, they are
concerned about the lighting of the proposed lot and how it will influence their back
yard as well as their bedrooms that are on the back of the house. T hey are also
concerned about the increase in traffic on Richards Lane and the potential to further
compromise safety in this area. In addition, they are concerned about trash on
Richards Lane as there is already a problem with trash on the street, and they are
constantly having to clean it up. Finally, they are not opposed to progress in Salem,
but they are opposed when it infringes on their home, property and the value of their
home and property.
Mr. C onner asked staff about the science regarding light pollution, placement of
light poles, etc. in the site plan review process. Mr. VanAllman noted that there is
quite a lot of information about this, and it is a lot better than it was 20 years ago.
He noted that there is no spillage of light, and it is usually very accurate. He further
discussed site plan review as it relates to lighting.
Vice Mayor King asked about the buffer yard shown on the concept plan. How big
will the shrubs get? Will they completely block the site from view of the adjacent
properties.? Ms. Wines noted the buffer yard is actually a mix of evergreen trees
and shrubs that will be required. T he evergreen trees will grow tall enough to make
a good screening between properties. C hair Daulton asked if the requirement is for
8' tall evergreen trees, and Ms. Wines noted she believed that the requirement is 6'
tall at planting and spaced 25' apart so that they will grow into a large evergreen
wall.
C hair Daulton noted she believed that at this point the applicant does not own the
property. She asked if this was correct. Mr. C rew noted that this was correct. He
noted the existing maintenance or the lack thereof is on the current property owner.
T here is certainly an opportunity to clean up and improve this property which his
clients intend to do.
Mr. Garst noted he thought one of the reasons why the structure has been difficult to
rent for residential is due to the way it has been chopped up internally for multiple
tenants. Is this correct? Mr. Crew noted that this was correct. C urrently it is
approved as a two-family dwelling, but it has been chopped up for multiple
residences.
C hair Daulton asked if Richards Lane is city owned, and it was noted that it is a
public right of way.
T here was further discussion regarding the lack of rental of the existing structure.
C hair Daulton noted if the applicant is not the owner, how do they know the
property is unrentable. Mr. C rew noted that they did not state the property was
unrentable. T his was an assumption as far as he knows. He further discussed the
property and noted that is has been vacant for some time and further, has been for
sale for an extended period of time.
T here was additional discussion regarding the existing structure and the use of the
property in the past.
Mr. C onner asked if the contract purchaser has prospects who are interested in
renting the property subject to getting the rezoning. Or are they just trying to buy the
property in the manner that prepares it best for marketing or has this idea been
pitched and has happened very rapidly. Ms. Shah further discussed the proposed
use of the property and noted that their intent is to bring a national tenant to this
corner. (T here was difficultly understanding Ms. Shah's answer due to the quality of
the audio.)
C hair Daulton noted with this being a commercial piece of property, would the
parking lot lights have to stay on all night? Would there be a way that they could be
turned off say at 9:30 or 10 pm? Mr. VanAllman noted he did not think they would
have to stay on all night. He would have to look into what would be required with
regards to security after the business is closed. T here was further discussion
regarding the lighting for the proposed parking lot.
T here was further discussion regarding the proposed use of this property as well as
the two structures fronting on Main Street owned by the contract purchaser.
One additional speaker could not be identified or understood due to the quality of
the audio.
C hair Daulton asked if there was anyone else to speak. T here was no response and
the public hearing was closed.
Denise King motioned to recommend to the C ouncil of the C ity of Salem that the
request of J SS Holdings, LLC c/o Payal Shah, contract purchaser, and Cedarhurst

E.Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Dominion Service & Parts LLC ,
lessee, and Premier Investment LLC, property owner, for rezoning the property
located at 224 West 4th Street (Tax Map # 167-7-1) from HM Heavy
Manufacturing District to HBD Highway Business District.
T he Executive Secretary reported that notice of said hearing had been published in
the October 1 and 8, 2020, issues of the Salem Times-Register, and all property
owners were notified by letter mailed September 28, 2020.
Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property consists of a
single parcel of approximately 1.097 acres, located on the south side of Fourth
Street, directly across from the intersection with Cypress Street. T he property is
occupied by single story industrial-style building. T his request is to rezone the
property from HM to HBD. T he applicant would like to use the property as a used
automobile dealership, and to perform major automobile repairs. T his necessitates
changing the zoning from HM to HBD. A second request (Item 4F) would allow the
used car dealership and major automotive repairs to be done on the site. T he
following issues were identified by staff: 1. In accordance with Section 106-310.3
(A)1: All outdoor display areas (parking areas) in conjunction with sales shall be
constructed of the same materials required for off-street parking areas as required
by section 106-404. 2. In accordance with Section 106-310.3 (A)2: A perimeter
landscaping strip and landscaping shall be provided as required by Section 106-402.
3. In accordance with Section 106-310.3 (A)5 and 106-310.5 (A)1, vehicles
undergoing major work or which will be stored for more than 72 hours must be
located in a fully screened area; and 4. T his property is located within the 100 year
floodzone.
T he Executive Secretary noted that Items 4E and 4F are related to the same
property and the same petitioner so if the Commission would like it can be handled
as one public hearing.
C hair Daulton opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone to speak
regarding the requests.
Mark Patterson, 5034 Falcon Ridge Road, Roanoke, and Daniel Austin, 1238 Red
Lane, Salem, with Dominion Service and Parts, LLC, appeared before the
C ommission. He noted that they have been in business together for almost 10
years. Daniel operates the service side of the business, and he operates the sales
side of the business. Currently they are operating the sales side of the business at
1206 West Main Street. T hey would like to consolidate and move the sales side in
with the service side at the property on West Fourth Street. T his is the reason for
the request. At the present time the west end of the property is being used for
storage. T hey are planning to clean this up, and this will be where the used vehicles
will be displayed for sale. Further, they will only have about 10 or 12 cars at a time.
He noted there a times when people are not able to repair their vehicles, and they
will buy the vehicle, repair it and resell it. T hey have to have a dealers license in
order to do this.
Mr. Garst asked if this is their typical model. So they do not go out and buy
multiple vehicles and bring them back and sell them, is that right? Mr. Patterson
noted that he does some times buy multiple vehicles, but that is primarily a
wholesale function of the business and they mostly deal in retail.
Vice Mayor King asked if they were aware of the requirements of this particular
zoning with regards to perimeter landscaping and also storage of vehicles. Mrs. King
read the sections of the code related to these items. T here was further discussion
regarding the storage of vehicles. Mrs. King asked staff if the difference is because
of the zoning that they will need for this use. Ms. Wines noted that any automobile
repair, major business is required to have any vehicles that are stored on site longer
than 72 hours be in a screened area. She noted that when Mr. Austin moved to this
location, this was discussed with him.
T here was additional discussion regarding storage of vehicles, etc., but due to poor
quality of the audio, it was difficult to hear the discussion.
Mr. Beamer asked if Mr. Austin is this is the business that is right behind the
transmission shop. Mr. Austin noted that he currently rents the property out that is
behind the transmission shop.
Mr. C onner asked staff if the screening requirement that has been noted, is that even
required in the Heavy Manufacturing zoning. Ms. Wines noted for the proposed use,
automobile repair service, major, yes, it is a requirement.
T here was further discussion regarding the screening requirement, and Ms. Wines
noted that any vehicle that is stored on the lot more than 72 hours has to be stored in
a screened in area. She noted that are variables in the screening area, and she further
discussed those options.
Mr. Patterson noted that what will be displayed on the lot will be retail, clean, and
ready to sell vehicles which have been serviced by Dominion Service. T he intent of
the business is not to be a wholesale business.
Mr. Beamer asked what was the footage of the property on the west side of the
building. Mr. Austin noted that it is approximately 100', but there is an easement
across this property to access the parking lot next door.
Mr. Beamer noted that on the right side there are a lot of vehicles. Are those
vehicles to be worked on or what is going on with those vehicles? T his is where the
proposed car lot will be, is that correct? Mr. Austin noted that some of those
vehicles belong to employees and yes, this is where the proposed car lot will be
located. Due to poor quality of the audio, it was difficult to hear the entire
discussion.
Mr. Beamer noted that they are currently leasing the property and that it is owned by
Tony Rippee. Is that correct? Mr. Austin noted that this was correct.
Mr. Beamer also noted that they have cleaned up the property a lot.
C hair Daulton asked if there was anyone else to speak. T here was no response, and
the public hearing was closed.
Neil Conner motioned to recommend to the Council of the City of Salem that the

Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property is
approximately 2.74 acres, and is located at the western terminus of Amy Lane, a
private road, to the rear of South Salem Elementary School. The lot abuts
residential lots in Roanoke County on Millwood Drive at its rear. It is currently
occupied by a single story residence. The applicant wishes to build a detached
garage of 1,288 SF to the northeast of the existing house, on the right side of the
driveway. Per Section 106-202.3 (D), accessory structures larger than 1,000 SF
shall require a special exception permit.
Chairman Garst opened the public hearing and requested that anyone wishing to
speak on the matter approach.
Mr. Barry Dick of 604 Red Lane appeared before the Commission stating that he
and his wife currently live on Red Lane, but have purchased and are renovating the
property located at 1737 Amy Lane. They would like to add a garage to the
property for their automobiles, workshop space, and yard equipment storage.
Chairman Garst inquired if the garage would be twenty-eight feet by forty-six feet
as shown. Mr. Dick replied affirmatively, that the plan was to place it adjacent to
the existing concrete pad.
Chairman Garst questioned if South Salem School was directly behind the property.
Mr. Dick replied that the school was directly adjacent on the east side of the
property.
Chairman Garst asked if he had a contractor as of yet. Mr. Dick stated that
Burgess Construction had been hired. He further stated that they are just awaiting
approval and issuance of the required construction permits.
Commissioner Beamer inquired if the Roanoke County line adjoined this property.
Mr. Dick replied that the north side of the property is adjacent to Roanoke County,
but that they own the property in the county that fronts Millwood Drive.
Chairman Garst asked if there was anyone else to speak on this matter, and hearing
none, closed the public hearing.
Neil Conner motioned to recommend approval of the request of Barry E. Dick and
Valerie T. Dick, property owners, for the issuance of a Special Exception Permit to
allow a 1,288 SF detached garage on the property located at 1737 Amy Lane, (Tax
Map # 212 - 1 - 10). Jackson Beamer seconded the motion.
Ayes: Beamer, Conner, Garst
Absent: Daulton, King
B.Special Exception Permit
Hold public hearing to consider the request of Derbyshire Real Estate, applicant,
and Sunset Ridge Holdings, LLC, property owner, for the issuance of a Special
Exception Permit to allow a two-family dwelling on the property located at 703 E
Riverside Drive (Tax Map 232-2-9).
The Executive Secretary reported that notice of said hearing had been published in
the the December 4, and 11, 2020, issues of The Roanoke Times, and all
property owners were notified by letter mailed November 30, 2020.
Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property is located on
the north side of East Riverside Drive, between the road and the Roanoke River,
and on the north side of the intersection with Manchester Street. It is approximately
0.377 acres, and is occupied by a two story residential structure. The existing
structure was built in 1950, in an area that was part of Roanoke County at the time.
It was annexed into the Town of Salem in 1953. At that time the property was
zoned “Business District”. In 1963 the property was changed to Residential R-2
District, which required a zoning and use permit (the equivalent of a Special
Exception Permit) in order to allow a duplex. No such permit was ever granted. It
appears that in the late 1970s the property was converted to a duplex without the
benefit of a zoning and use permit. A dual electric meter base was placed by the
owner, but the 2nd electric account was never activated by the City. The applicant
is requesting that a Special Exception Permit be issued to allow the use of the
property as a Two-Family Dwelling (duplex).
Staff noted the following issues regarding the request: the property lies both within
the 100 year floodplain and the floodway. The structure itself lies outside of both
of these areas.
C hairman Garst opened the public hearing and requested that anyone wishing to
speak on the matter approach.
Tyler Guenther, of Derbyshire Real Estate, representing the owner, Sunset Ridge
Holdings, appeared before the C ommission and stated that they are requesting a
special exception use permit to use it as a duplex. It has two separate entrances,
one bedroom each. T hey acquired the property at the beginning of 2020. T hey
have done extensive remodeling work to bring it up to standard, redoing the roof,
rerunning the electrical, reworking the plumbing, drywall, and floors, and they would
like to use it as a two-family. It has separate entrances and each unit would have
their own parking area for at least two cars.
C ommissioner Conner inquired if there were plans to renovate the exterior façade.
Mr. Guenther replied that the brick had to be removed and will be replaced and
vertical siding will be installed.
C ommissioner Beamer asked how many parking spaces would be available. Mr.
Guenther stated that there would be two spaces on each side. One side is currently
gravel and the other side has had the trees removed to allow the installation of two
spaces.
C hairman Garst asked staff if that met the city's requirements. Staff replied
affirmatively.
C ommissioner Conner asked if the intent was to have separate utility services for
each unit. Mr. Guenther stated that yes that was correct. T here currently was two
water meters and two electric meters. C ommissioner Conner further asked if both
electric meters were in service. Mrs. Wines replied that there is currently a dual
meter base on the property but the second utility account was never allowed to go in
service. Mr. Van Allman stated that the property will be required to meet all current
building code regulations.
C hairman Garst asked if there was anyone else to speak on this matter, and hearing
none, closed the public hearing.
Neil Conner motioned to recommend approval of the request of Derbyshire Real
Estate, applicant, and Sunset Ridge Holdings, LLC, property owner, for the issuance
of a Special Exception Permit to allow a two-family dwelling on the property
located at 703 E Riverside Drive (Tax Map 232-2-9). J ackson Beamer seconded

Grant Budget Adjustments Report
December 8, 2020
Summary of Issue:
At times during the year, additional funding may be r eceived by the school division through
donation, grant, increased funding due to ADM (Average Daily Membership) increases, or some
other means. This revenue increases the budget requiring Board approval before the funds can
be utilized.
Grant budgets need to be adjusted at this time because new grants have been awarded since
budget adoption and need to accounted for on the books
We received notification from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) on October 30th, that
the current year Title I grant was revised upwards by $71.75.
We received notification from the VDOE on November 12th that we were awarded an Equipment
Assistance Grant for our School Nutrition program in the amount of $25,000. The intention is to
purchase a convection oven and a three-door freezer for East Salem Elementary School with
these funds.
Policy Reference:
DA-BR Budget Transfers
Fiscal Impact:
The budget adjustments will increase the revenue and expenditure budgets in the School Grant
Fund & School Cafeteria Fund (attachment A) in total by the same amount of $72.00 and $25,000,
respectively.
Recommended Action:
Move approval of the budget adjustments in the School Grant Fund and School Cafeteria Fund
as presented and recommend that City Council approve the same .
