TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.

The Board heard Mr. Komara’s report on the activities of the Transportation Department, including updates to bridge, road, and rural rustic projects.

January 27, 2021 (2)

Mr. Komara said since the Smithland Road (Route 720) bridge will connect to awider road with shoulders in the City, a sidewalk can possibly be added in the future.

Mr. Komara reported the Friedens Church Road (Route 682) bridge project will be advertised in the summer of 2021. VDOT widened North River Road (Route 867), cut treesaround the railroad crossing and helped install a pipe through the small railroad bridge so the road can accommodate the detour. Mr. Komara noted all necessary rights-of-way have been obtained and VDOT needs to finalize the project with the railroad.

Mr. Komara reminded the Board that the four bridges over Interstate 81 at the Exit 247 interchange onto East Market Street (Route 33) will be replaced with two bridges between Golden China and Burgess Road. The rights-of-way have been secured and VDOTis working on the design plan for a multi-use path in the median. An advertisement for this $60 million project is planned in the late fall or winter of 2021.

In response to questions from Supervisor Wolfe-Garrison, Mr. Komara indicated an overhead walkway is not planned over the median. A handrail, fence, or similar separation will be installed between the traffic and the pedestrians, who will be able to cross East Market Street near the Golden China Restaurant or Krispy Crème Donuts. Mr. Komara noted that pedestrians frequently walk in the median on East Market Street, so an extra widepath with a separation between the travel lane and the path seems to be the safest option.

Mr. Komara stated he wants to visit with the new Forest Ranger about moving the upper Rawley road project along so work can be scheduled in the late fall.

Mr. Komara advised the Board that he did not have an update on the status of the South Valley Pike (Route 11) and Cecil Wampler Road (Route 704) rights-of-way. He plans to investigate that further so he can have that project underway before the widening ofInterstate 81 begins.

Mr. Komara reported that Round 4 Smart Scale projects were announced. He noted that Mr. Armstrong, Ms. Cooper, and Mr. Dyjak performed a lot of work on the Smart Scalesubmissions. Mr. Komara stated 20 projects were approved in the Staunton District, with 16 of those in his residency, and seven in Rockingham County and Harrisonburg. Some of the top Smart Scale projects were the Park and Ride at Mt. Crawford ($3 million) and the Smithland Road (Route 720) widening ($3.5 million), Mr. Komara said. He also informed the Board of some projects awarded to the City.

Maintenance items included cutting brush and trees, including the tree in the VDOT right-of-way along Waggys Creek Road (Route 742). VDOT replaced pipes from Singers Glen to Mt. Clinton Pike (Route 763) and may be able to build shoulders and widen Mt. Clinton Pike in some places. VDOT also cleaned pipes and ditches in Bergton.

Supervisor Ritchie asked if the construction companies, working on the bridges overInterstate 81, will bring their own crews or utilize local labor. Mr. Komara said local citizens have been hired for smaller projects in the past, but he thinks the Route 33 project, will attract large companies from the East Coast. He indicated there will be numerous smaller jobs that could utilize subcontractors and other local labor.

Supervisor Breeden advised Mr. Komara that there are sizable potholes in Spotswood Trail (Route 33) near the McGaheysville Dollar General.

Supervisor Breeden stated he was aware that Mr. Komara was trying to help Merck with Captain Yancey Road (Route 642), and he believes a wider crossing is needed at the railroad tracks because traffic backs up in one lane. Mr. Komara would like to apply for a future revenue sharing project to widen the lane and create separate left and right turn lanes,which may discourage people from traveling on Captain Yancey Road. Mr. Komara thinks motorists will drive faster on Captain Yancey Road if improvements are made. He reportedthat 400 vehicles currently utilize Captain Yancey Road daily, and the road will be utilized by those vehicles twice a day.

January 27, 2021 (3)

Supervisor Wolfe-Garrison reminded Mr. Komara about the numerous, sizable potholes in the east and west bound lanes on Mt. Clinton Pike (Route 763), just west of the City limits to Lincolnshire Drive (Route 1134). She also noted that the reflective arrow signs at the curve on the eastern side of Pike Church Road (Route 701) are down.

Supervisor Kyger expressed appreciation to VDOT staff for cutting the trees on Waggys Creek Road. He reminded Mr. Komara about issues on Lady Bug Road (Route 749) and requested that VDOT cut trees on Lady Bug Road.

Mr. Komara said he talked with VDOT’s traffic staff about the speed issues Chair Chandler brought to his attention at the January 13, 2021 meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING – REZONING.

At 7:02 p.m., Chair Chandler opened the public hearing and Mr. Dyjak reviewed the following rezoning request:

REZ20-306 Mike Nacarato, 519 New Paul Road, Lavergne, TN 37086. Requestlocation: West side of Walton Way (VA 950), 0.2 miles north ofFriedens Church Road (VA 682). Request to rezone Tax Map Parcel137-(A)-L86 and a 20.59-acre portion of an 84.956-acres of TM 137-(A)-L85, totaling approximately 26.8 acres, from B-1 (GeneralBusiness) and A-1 (Prime Agricultural) to I-1 (Industrial). ElectionDistrict 4.

Mr. Dyjak noted there are no proffers related to limitation of uses. He noted the Rezoning Case Report includes a list of all available I-1 uses.

Mr. Dyjak stated the applicant has indicated their immediate intent is to build a Volvo truck dealership and service center.

Staff recommended approval on December 31, 2020, and the Planning Commission recommended approval by a 5-0 vote on January 5, 2021.

Mr. Dyjak indicated there have been no public comments received regarding this rezoning request. However, the applicants’ agent was available to answer questions.

Supervisor Ritchie asked which portion of the property was in A-1, and Mr. Dyjak pointed out the A-1 and B-1 portions of the parcels. He informed Supervisor Ritchie that since the Walmart Distribution Center property is currently zoned I-1, the rezoning forms a logical extension of an I-1 industrial district between Interstate 81 and Walton Way. Mr. Dyjak indicated the eastern portion of the site will remain A-1 for now.

Supervisor Kyger said he hopes the design for the building is aesthetically pleasing and welcoming to people traveling through the County because it is the gateway into Rockingham County. He stated Economic Development prospects look at corporate and commercial entities in a community to determine if they want to locate their business in that area.

Supervisor Wolfe-Garrison wanted to confirm that two dealerships currently located on South Main Street (Route 11) just outside the Harrisonburg city limits are being separated and one dealership will remain on Route 11.

Ed Blackwell with Blackwell Engineering said he is the agent for the buyer, and he noted a couple individuals representing the company were in attendance and could probablyrespond best to the question.

Chris Batson stated his understanding is that the two businesses currently located on South Main Street just outside of Harrisonburg will be moved onto the new property. Mr. Batson said he assumes both dealerships on South Main Street will be vacant.

Mr. Blackwell noted the dealership will utilize approximately six acres of the 20-acre site. They do not currently have a plan for the remaining acreage.

Mr. Blackwell requested that following the public hearing, the rezoning request be tabled, because the seller has some contractual matters to address.

No one from the public spoke regarding the rezoning request.

-----

At 7:10 p.m., Chair Chandler closed the public hearing.

January 27, 2021 (7)

Supervisor Kyger indicated he is familiar with the details of the request, and herealizes the dealership still has work to be done. At the applicants’ request, SupervisorKyger made a motion to table REZ20-306 for Mike Nacarato, until the applicant indicatesthe issues have been resolved, and they are ready to move forward.

Supervisor Ritchie seconded the motion and carried by a roll call vote of 5 to 0, voting recorded as follows: BREEDEN – AYE; CHANDLER – AYE; KYGER – AYE; RITCHIE – AYE; WOLFE-GARRISON – AYE; the Board tabled REZ20-306, Mike Nacarato, 519 New Paul Road, Lavergne, TN 37086. Request location: West side of Walton Way (VA 950), 0.2 miles north of Friedens Church Road (VA 682). Request to rezone Tax Map Parcel 137-(A)-L86 and a 20.59-acre portion of an 84.956-acres of TM 137-(A)-L85, totaling approximately 26.8 acres, from B-1 (General Business) and A-1 (Prime Agricultural) to I-1 (Industrial).

Total $ 39,466,251 $ 9,866,551 $ 29,599,700

Cost Assumptions

• RBC- Rated Bed Capacity refers to the number of approved beds added through construction as the basis for the Compensation Board to determine the funding for additional staff based on the Compensation Board staffing funding formula.

• Personnel Costs – Costs are based on a Bed Rated Capacity of 796, not the number of beds added for any of these new options. The Jail is expected to have an ADP of 1060 in 2024 and the staffing level needs to be based on at least a 796 RBC. A Rated Bed Capacity less than 796 will require the localities to fund more of the personnel costs because the Compensation Board will only fund positions based on the approved RBC added during construction.

• Total Other Costs – Refers to all costs except the personnel and debt costs. These are the same costs presented at December 1, 2020 because the cost is based on the ADP of 1060, not based on the RBC based on any of these new options.

• Debt – Annual Debt Service Cost is based on 75% of the project cost, at a 5% rate, 30 years. This cost can be refined based on decisions concerning whether to capitalize interest for two years, interim financing for architect fees, if a debt service reserve will be required, and costs of issuance.

Criminal Justice Reform

❑ Proposed expansion based on current criminal justice guidelines

❑ Future criminal justice reform will be factored into any potential expansion

design

❑ Proposed expansion does not address full need for 1,283 beds in 2029

❑ Without radical criminal justice reform additional inmate beds will be

needed in the future.

❑ Expansion does anticipate more community based programs (work

release and community service)

❑ MRRJ needs a solution that is creative and provides staff with the most

flexibility to manage future population anticipating the dynamic nature of

potential change.

STAFF AND AGENCY ANALYSIS

UTILITIES Virginia Department of Health The Health Department has no issues as long as the business has no outside employees working at the residence. Public Works This parcel will use well and septic. We have discussed the possibility of providing service to this parcel in previous pre-application meetings but doing so is likely prohibitively expensive given the numerous road bores and construction fees involved.

ENVIRONMENTAL Environmental Services: No comments were received at time of report.

PUBLIC FACILITIES Emergency Services SUP20-320 is located within the Port Republic Road Emergency Services Station and Harrisonburg Volunteer Rescue Squad’s respective first due area. Our office has no concerns with the request. Building Official Any construction will have to meet the building code. Planning Comprehensive Plan Designation: The parcel is shown as Mixed Use and Multi-family Residential within the Stone Spring Urban Development Area (UDA)- Boyers Crossing West Neighborhood Focus Area, which encourages a planned, orderly combination of residential and commercial development in existing nodes of activity. i. Located at the intersection of Boyers Road and Port Republic Road, Boyers Crossing West is planned with a neighborhood park with development located within a quarter-mile walking distance. Commercial use line the frontage along Port Republic Road, with residential, single family and rowhomes located within its interior. New developments in this neighborhood are recommended to meet the design and streetscape guidelines of the Stone Spring UDA Plan. ii. Section II-B-Goals: 1. Goal 6. Achieve a Balance of Compatible Land Uses and Communities in which people can live, work and play. 2. Policy #4.1.5 Retain and expand the existing industries and businesses now operating in the County.

Site Plan Requirements General Site Plan Details i. Site Plan requirements will need to be met consistent with Chapter 17, Article VII “Development Standards” after issuance of the special use permit. ii. A sign permit is required for any signs, which is separate from the SUP. iii. A 10’-wide shared use path is proposed within the Stone Spring Urban Development Area Plan for the entire frontage of the parcel along Boyer Road. A right-of-way may be dedicated sufficient to construct and maintain this path in lieu of the applicant constructing at this time but would need to meet applicable VDOT requirements for location, width, and means for dedication. Parking and Landscaping Requirements i. Please show parking areas with dimensions with driving aisles and directional signage. ii. Accessible parking spaces served by a suitable hard-surfaced travel aisle shall be provided to connect to the medical office main entrance. iii. Parking spaces shall be 9’ x 18’ set a minimum of 10’ from street with a minimum 24’-wide travel aisle for two-way traffic. iv.

Screening. – May be required if outdoor storage of equipment or heavy vehicles is authorized. (Sec. 17-703.07.) “On-site functions, such as loading and unloading areas, dumpsters and trash collection, outside storage areas, maintenance areas and equipment, and mechanical equipment, shall be screened by using one (1) or more of the following options in order to effectively screen the on-site function from streets utilized by the public and adjoining residential and agricultural uses: (a) A minimum six-foot-high opaque fence or wall, the height of which shall be no lower than the functions/items being screened. An appropriate gate shall be provided, if applicable. (b) A three-foot-high berm with plantings of six-foot-high evergreen screening is provided. (c) For ground level or rooftop mechanical and similar equipment, any architectural element compatible with the building is acceptable, as long as it screens the view of the equipment.” vi. Perimeter and/or site landscaping plan is still required but may be coupled with the SUP Application Layout/Sketch.

TRANSPORTATION Virginia Department of Transportation This property is served by an existing entrance on a private lane (Mattie Drive). This private lane meets VDOT minimum requirements on to Rt. 704 (Boyers Road). The proposed use is not expected to have a substantial impact to adjacent VDOT maintained roadways. While Mattie Drive is not VDOT maintained, it should still be the expectation that vehicles have adequate on-site parking so as not to impact Mattie Drive.
