BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
JUNE 22, 2015
1.
Earlier this evening, a public hearing was held to consider amending the budget
for Fiscal Year 2014-15. In general, the revisions to the budget reflect the
appropriation of funding for projects that had not been included in the budget or
the addition of grant funds to be used for the projects. In the General Fund, the
larger projects include the purchase of the Hobert N. Grubb building for the
Farmers' Market, the construction of curb and gutter on Main Street between
Fourth and Twelfth Streets and the expansion of a storage area at the
Community Center. The Water/Sewer Fund was for the payment for a waterline
on Community Boulevard, as well as some outstanding bills for the 20" Waterline
Project. The funding available equals the value of the projects, and, therefore,
the budget remains balanced. As a related topic, it has been the practice of the
Council for many years to authorize the Town Treasurer to make line item
revisions to the current budget, which allow him to use funds from categories
from left over revenues for categories where revenues may have been short. It is
the recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee that we amend the
budget as requested by the Treasurer and reviewed at the public hearing, and
that we authorize the Treasurer to make line item revisions to the current budget.
2.
At the last meeting of Council, the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2015-16 was
amended to the extent that it added additional funding for marketing activities for
the Town's Department of Tourism. Subsequently, we met with Mrs. Rosa Jude,
who is the director of this department, to discuss future marketing efforts. Mrs.
Jude noted that if marketing funding was available to provide her with $100,000,
it could be sufficient leverage to access other grant funding. Mrs. Jude has been
very successful through the years in getting grants, and we believe providing her
this opportunity with additional funding will stimulate yet additional funding for
these marketing activities. When the budget is considered later in the meeting, it
would be the recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee that the
budget be amended to reflect the line item for Marketing Funds be revised to
$100,000 and that the budget be approved on third and final reading.

Subject:
Public Works Committee
SUMMARY:
The Public Works Committee will report on the following matters:
a.
Proposed amendments to the service agreement regarding the New River
Regional Water Authority
b.
Request of the West End United Methodist Church for additional handicapped
parking spaces
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
JUNE 22, 2015
1.
At their meeting this past Thursday, the New River Regional Water Authority
reviewed information about refinancing the vast majority of the debt used for the
construction of the Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Webster Day, who serves as the
attorney to the Authority, gave an overview of the matter noting that the refinancing
of the existing debt would eventually save the Authority nearly $1 million over the life
of the loan, or about $58,000 per year in loan payments. Subsequently, the
Authority then adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance and sell of the revenue
refunding bonds. As a part of this refinancing package, it is also required that each
of the participating jurisdictions adopt a resolution authorizing this refinancing, as
well as amend the Service Agreement that exists between all three of the
participating jurisdictions. It would be the recommendation of the Public Works
Committee that the Council adopt both of these documents that authorize the
Authority to move forward. When the roll call is taken on these votes, we would
request that it be an individual, voice vote.
2.
We have received a request from West End United Methodist Church to install two
handicapped parking spaces on the east side of 181h Street between North and
Spiller Streets. The spaces requested would be directly across the street from the
entrance to the church. This location is the side yard of a dwelling, and we believe
that the permanent installation of handicapped signs at this location could be
1
detrimental to the residential dwelling. We do believe that the handicapped spaces
could be helpful, but we would recommend that the approval of the handicapped
spaces be predicated on the installation of "sleeves," whereby these handicapped
parking signs can be placed when church functions are going on. Otherwise, the
signs should be removed, and the spaces could be used for regular parking.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Public Works Committee that we permit
the installation of "sleeves" to accommodate these handicapped parking signs.

reading. The Budget and Finance Committee has recommended that the line item for
new marketing activities be increased from $75,000 to $100,000. These funds will be
transferred from the "Infrastructure Improvements" line item, therefore, the total dollar
amount of the budget will not change.

Planning Commission Recommendation -Zoning
Ordinance Amendments
SUMMARY:
Please find enclosed the recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding the
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to include the uses of Craft or Pub Brewery;
Micro Brewery, and Farmers' Markets as permitted uses in the B-2 General Business
District - Downtown. The Planning Commission would recommend that the Town
Council approve these revisions. It will be necessary to set a public hearing to consider
this matter, which could be held at the July 13 Town Council meeting.
WYTHEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Request:
Consider amendments to the Town of Wytheville Zoning Ordinance, Article XI-A
Business District B-2 DT General Business District - Downtown, Section 11-2A Use
Regulations, to include the uses of "Brewery, Craft or Pub; Brewery, Micro" and
"Farmers' Markets" as permitted uses.
Recommendation to Town Council:
After conducting a public hearing and no citizens attended the meeting to express
concerns, the Planning Commission would recommend amending the Town of
Wytheville Zoning Ordinance, Article XI-A Business District B-2 DT General Business ·
District - Downtown, Section 11-2A Use Regulations, to include the uses of "Brewery,
Craft or Pub; Brewery, Micro" and "Farmers' Markets" as permitted uses.
G:\PLANCOMM\Recommendations\temporary sign permit requirements and banner installation timeframe recommendation to town

Micro Brewery Use and Farmers' Market
Use Addition to the
B-2 DT General Business District
Staff Report
Background
At the last Planning Commission meeting, a brief discussion was held in regard to the
addition of the use "Micro Brewery" and "Farmers' Market" to the B-2 DT General Business
District. It was decided to advertise a public hearing to add these uses in the B2-DT Zone
at the June Meeting.
Micro breweries have become very popular. They have become successful alternatives to
the traditional businesses in downtown, and they are a component of the "economic
restructuring" of downtowns. Economic restructuring is the replacement of the traditional
downtown businesses with new and different businesses. The Department of Housing and
Community Development has recognized the popularity of micro breweries and has had a
conference to promote micro breweries in downtown revitalization efforts. The topics
include ways to encourage micro breweries to locate in your community.
Many micro breweries are developed in conjunction with bars or restaurants and boost
downtown traffic and the downtown economy. Local examples include Bull and Bones in
Blacksburg, Foggy Ridge in Dugspur, Parkway Brewing Company in Salem, Rai/house in
Roanoke, The Damascus Brewing Company in Damascus, The River Company Restaurant
and Brewery in Fairlawn, Wolf Hills Brewing Company in Abingdon, Blacksnake Meadery in
Dugspur and the Creek Bottom Brewery in Galax.
The present definition of a "micro brewery" is located in the Definitions section of the
Zoning Ordinance and presently reads: Brewery, Craft or Pub; Micro Brewery: A facility
for brewing ales, beers, meads, or similar alcoholic beverages whose capacities are
less than 15,000 barrels annually, and may include facilities that brew on premises
that may be operated in conjunction with a bar or restaurant as an accessory use.
Farmers' Markets have traditionally been downtown businesses, and Wytheville, presently,
has a Farmers' Market downtown. Ultimately, the location will be changed to the former
Hobert N. Grubb Warehouse located on Spring Street. The Heritage Walk will, also, be
completed along the Second Street right of way making this location accessible to both
vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Staff felt that this use should be included in the uses
permitted in downtown since it presently exists there.
1
Discussion and Considerations
The success stories of micro brewery bars and restaurants in other localities make the use
in downtown very attractive. While there may be some detractors, it appears that these
uses bring people downtown to eat, drink and socialize, all the things that help to revitalize
a downtown.
It is likely that a "micro" or "craft" brewery could be requested along with, or a part of, a
specialty restaurant. In fact, there have been those preliminary discussions with at least
one restauranteur who was considering a micro brewery as a part of a proposed
restaurant.
The trend toward micro breweries becoming part of a restaurant or partnering with a
restaurant makes it very likely that the attempts to recruit restaurants may result in a
request to permit a micro brewery. Placing micro breweries as a permitted use in the B-2
DT General Business District improves the chances for the recruitment of restaurants.
Farmers' Markets are also businesses that bring traffic downtown. The present Farmers'
Market has been very successful during the growing season. The new location at Spring
Street should help to extend the season into the colder months since portions of the market
are proposed to be indoors.
Farmers' Markets, as a permitted use, complement what is presently being practiced in the
downtown and further recognizes the importance of Farmers' Markets in the downtown
economy.

Planning Commission Recommendation - Future
Land Use Map
SUMMARY:
Please find enclosed the recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding a
revision to the Future Land Use Map. This revision is necessary due to the rezoning of
the Fairfield Glade property, which is located adjacent to Stafford Umberger Drive. As
the Town Council will recall, this property was recently rezoned from R-3 Residential to
M-1 Industrial, therefore, it is necessary to revise the Future Land Use Map to reflect
this rezoning. It will be necessary to set a public hearing to consider this revision, which
could be scheduled for the July 13 Council meeting.
Request:
Consider an amendment to the Town of Wytheville Future Land Use Map.
After conducting a public hearing and receiving no comments from concerned citizens,
the Planning Commission would recommend amending the Town of Wytheville Future
Land Use Map to reflect the rezoning of the Fairfield Glade property, located adjacent to
Stafford Umberger Drive, from residential to industrial use.
G:\PLANCOMM\Recommendations\future land use map recommendation to town council2015.doc
Future Land Use Map Amendment for the
Fairfield Glade Subdivision Area
Staff Report
Background
As the Planning Commission is aware, a portion of property owned by The Fairfield Glade
Company was recently rezoned from R-3 Residential to M-1 Industrial. An industry has
expressed an interest in locating on approximately 16 acres of their land, which is adjacent
to Stafford Umberger Drive, and the Fairfield Glade Company asked for a rezoning of this
property to M-1 Industrial to accommodate this industry. Town Council approved the
rezoning request at their meeting on April 13, 2015.
The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan must be revised to reflect each
rezoning so that that the Future Land Use Map will be consistent with what may develop as
a result of the present zoning map.
Consideration and Discussion
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Future Land Use Map is a planning tool to
identify the expected future zoning and development of the community. If the present
zoning map and the Future Land Use Map are not consistent, there is the potential to
create conflict between present land uses and future land uses. While it may be of concern
that the property in this area has been rezoned several times in the past years, it should be
noted that this was in an undeveloped, transitional area, and the development of Fairview
Industrial Park and the major correction of the economy during this time had significant
impact on how to best develop this property. These factors make it reasonable that this
property could be developed either as industrial or residential. The Planning Commission
should act to revise this rezoned area on the Future Land Use Map.

Planning Commission Recommendation Armbrister/Dunford Subdivision
SUMMARY:
Please find enclosed the recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding the
request of Jackie Armbrister and G. C. Dunford for the subdivision of property located
on Country Lane, which is located on the southeast side of Peppers Ferry Road
between Nye Road and Granite Acres Road, in an R-3 Residential District. The
Planning Commission would recommend the approval of this subdivision since it meets
the stipulations of the Subdivision Ordinance, and it has been reviewed and approved
by the Engineering Department.
Request:
Consider the request of Ms. Jackie Armbrister and Mr. G. C. Dunford for the subdivision
of property located on Country Lane, which is located on the southeast side of Peppers
Ferry Road between Nye Road and Granite Acres Road, in an R-3 Residential District.
Citizens Attending the Planning Commission Meeting Regarding this Request:
None
After careful consideration of the request, it would be the recommendation of the
Planning Commission that the Town Council approve the request of Ms. Jackie
Armbrister and Mr. G. C. Dunford for the subdivision of property located on Country
Lane, which is located on the southeast side of Peppers Ferry Road between Nye Road
and Granite Acres Road, in an R-3 Residential District.
G:\PLANCOMM\Recommendations\Armbrister and Dunford Subdivision Recommendation June 2015.doc
Dunford and Armbrister
Subdivision Request
Staff Report
Mr G. C. Dunford and Ms. Jacquelyn Armbrister for the subdivision of property
located to the southeast of Peppers Ferry Road between Nye Road and Granite
Acres Road.
General
Mr. G. C. Dunford and Ms. Jacquelyn Armbrister submitted an application for a subdivision
into six lots on an approximate 1. 75 acre tract of property that runs parallel to Country Lane
and is approximately 194 feet deep. The subdivision proposes to divide the property into
six lots with approximately 62.5 feet of frontage each, with the exception of lot 1 which
contains an existing home. The subdivision appears to comply with the subdivision
requirements. Since these lots are being subdivided along existing streets, there are no
requirements for infrastructure development, with the exception that sewer will need to be
installed along the northern part of the lots, and a 20 foot utility easement has been
reserved in the appropriate location.
Zoning
The tracts proposed for subdivision are zoned R-3 Residential. It is apparent that the intent
is to use the individual tracts for residential development.
Property Characteristics
The property is relatively level. With the exception of the existing dwelling, the property is
undeveloped. Water service is available along Country Lane from a 12 inch water line.
Sewer availability is limited to a sewer line along Peppers Ferry Road. However, an
easement is provided that would allow a sewer line extension to a sewer manhole on
Peppers Ferry Road. Property to the north and east is Zoned A-1 Agricultural, and property
to the south and west is also R-1 Residential, although only approximately one lot deep.
Discussion
The potential for single family residences is likely the greatest unless multiple lots are
purchased which may allow multiple family dwellings to be built. The proposed subdivision
could be approved subject to conformance with all technical requirements of the Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinances.

Stephen A. Moore, Town Clerk Sharon G. Corvin, Town Attorney Robert

RE: CALL TO ORDER, QUORUM, PLEDGE
Mayor Crewe called the meeting to order and established that a quorum of Council members
was present. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Councilman Lambert.
RE: CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Crewe presented the consent agenda consisting of the minutes of the regular meeting of
May 26, 2015, and the request of the Wythe-Bland Animal Welfare League to conduct a 5K Run
on Saturday, September 12, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. He inquired of the Council if there is a motion to
approve the consent agenda together or as separate items. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor
King and seconded by Councilman Weisiger to approve the consent agenda consisting of the
minutes of the regular meeting of May 26, 2015, and the request of the Wythe-Bland Animal
Welfare League to conduct a 5K Run on Saturday, September 12, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Mayor
Crewe inquired of the Council if there is any discussion on the motion to approve the consent
agenda. There being none, the motion was approved with the following voting in favor and there
being no oppositions: For: Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Jacqueline K. King, William B. Weisiger, H.
Judson Lambert, Thomas F. Hundley. Against: None.
RE: PUBLIC HEARING – BUDGET ORDINANCE
Mayor Crewe advised the meeting constituted a public hearing (due notice having been given)
to consider Ordinance No. 1297, the Budget Ordinance for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015,
and ending on June 30, 2016. He noted the ordinance would be considered, on second reading,
later during the meeting. Mayor Crewe stated there is no one listed on the sign in sheet who
noted they wished to address the Council in regard to the budget, however, if anyone would like
to address the Council in regard to the budget now is the time to do so. There being no one who
desired to address the Council, Mayor Crewe reserved the right to revisit the public hearing if
someone comes in later during the meeting who wishes to address the Council in regard to the
Budget Ordinance. Mayor Crewe declared the public hearing closed, and he proceeded with the
agenda.
RE: CITIZENS’ PERIOD
Mayor Crewe advised the next agenda item is Citizens’ Period. He noted that Mr. Don Orfield
indicated on the sign in sheet that he wished to address the Town Council. Mayor Crewe asked
Mr. Orfield to step forward to the microphone so that the minutes could be properly recorded.
He thanked both Mr. and Mrs. Orfield for attending the Town Council meeting.
Mr. Don Orfield was recognized and stated that he resides at 1050 Fisher Road in Wytheville.
He noted that he heard on the radio this morning that the Town Council is considering installing
“no parking” signs on Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and Valley Street. Mr. Orfield
commented that, in his opinion, this would be undesired, however, he cannot speak on behalf of
the other residents. He noted that he is not sure that the other residents are even aware of this.
Mr. Orfield explained that there is a row of townhouses located at the top of the hill on Fisher
Road. He noted that those buildings and the real estate have been assessed at a little more
than $1.5 million on the tax tickets. Mr. Orfield stated this number can be verified. He remarked
that he is not sure why the Council is considering “no parking” signs on Fisher Road. Mr. Orfield
explained that Fisher Road is exactly, to the inch, 25 feet wide. Mayor Crewe clarified that Mr.
Orfield is stating the pavement is 25 feet wide. Mr. Orfield stated that is correct from curb to
curb. Mr. Orfield advised that, occasionally, there will be a car that parks on the street. He noted
that a week or so ago, the people who live across the street from him had guests, and the
parking spaces in their driveway were filled, therefore, the guests parked on the street. Mr.
Orfield explained to the Council that he does not feel there is a problem with parking on Fisher
Road. He noted that the pavement is certainly wide enough to accommodate the parking. Mr.
Orfield commented that most vehicles are six feet wide or less, and this pavement is 25 feet
wide. He remarked that if anyone who lives on that street has company of more than two
guests, those people have no place to park other than to park parallel on Fisher Road. Mr.
Orfield explained that if the residents have any kind of social event, there is no place to park
except for a couple of cars in the residents’ driveways, and the rest of the people would have to
park on Fisher Road. He reiterated that the pavement is certainly wide enough based on the
passing of cars, traffic, etc. Mr. Orfield advised that he sees no reason to place the “no parking”
signs on Fisher Road. He reiterated that when a car tops the hill on Fisher Road, there is
sufficient time to slow down until traffic clears. Mr. Orfield explained that before he purchased
his home, he studied this example. He reiterated that residents along Fisher Road will not be
able to house more than two guests with vehicles at one time because there will be nowhere for
the guests to park. Mr. Orfield advised this is his objection to the signs because there are no
mishaps as far as traffic is concerned, and there are lots of other places in town other than this
where it is a concern. He remarked that by placing a “no parking” sign in this location, it will not
alleviate any situations that already exist. Mayor Crewe inquired, and noted if he has directions
correctly, in being northbound on Fisher Road when a person passes Mountain View Drive at
the crest of the hill, if there is any sight distance or traffic problems going northbound as
opposed to going to southbound. Mr. Orfield noted that there is no difference. Mayor Crewe
inquired if there is any parking issue on the west side of the street versus the east side because
there are more houses on the east side of the street. Mr. Orfield noted that he sees no
difference. He advised that their next door neighbor moved in a few years ago. He stated that
he has lived at his residence for five years, and he has seen no mishaps. Mayor Crewe
commented that he told Mr. Orfield this afternoon that he thinks the Town has a report of one
accident. He advised that he may be incorrect in this. Mr. Orfield noted that there have been
accidents at the corner of Mountain View Drive and Fisher Road, and at the other intersection,
but this is after a person comes across the hill. Mr. Orfield pointed out that he sees no reason
for “no parking” signs to be on either side of the street. Mayor Crewe remarked that Mr. Orfield
will hear this matter in a few minutes from the Public Works Committee in their discussions
about this matter. He noted that the Town received a request to review this location, and this is
where the Council is with this matter. Mayor Crewe advised that Mr. Orfield is correct, and this is
the first time the Council has had it on their agenda to be discussed. He thanked Mr. Orfield for
attending the meeting. Mr. Orfield stated he appreciates being able to address the Council. He
advised that he thinks the Council should take into consideration how changing it to “no parking”
will cause the property values to go down, but not the assessed values. Mayor Crewe inquired if
Mr. Orfield is stating this because a person will not be able to have more than two vehicles at
their house because no one will be able to park on the street if the Town enacts the “no parking”
at this location. Mr. Orfield stated that is correct. Mayor Crewe inquired if anyone on Council has
any questions or comments for Mr. Orfield. Councilman Hundley stated as far as the parking on
the street, there is approximately one space between each condominium for additional parking
on the street. Mr. Orfield noted that is correct. He advised that there would be room between his
neighbor’s house and his house. Mr. Orfield pointed out that one of them could have one car
parked there. Councilman Hundley advised that if he is not mistaken, there are two houses
across the street. Mr. Orfield stated that is correct, and he noted one of those homeowners had
one vehicle parked a week or so ago on the street overnight. He commented that he knows of
no mishaps as a result of this vehicle parking overnight. Mr. Orfield advised that on Halloween
when there are trick-or-treaters who come by, vehicles park on both sides of the street, and
traffic passes through because there is 25 feet of pavement. Mayor Crewe noted that there
should be room for two cars to park, with one on each side of the street, as well as two moving
vehicles to pass one another. Mr. Orfield noted that is correct. He pointed out that in this
scenario, the vehicles would be close to one another, but it is possible if they are traveling 25
MPH, and there would be no problem. Mr. Orfield pointed out that two tractor trailers may have
a problem. Mayor Crewe stated that there should not be two tractor trailers in that
neighborhood, but it is possible. Town Manager Sutherland advised that if the Council is
thinking about reconsidering this matter, they may want to consider a centerline. He noted that
each vehicle should stay on their side of the street. Mr. Orfield noted that he thinks this street
would benefit from a centerline. He explained that this would give each side 12.5 feet. He noted
when he states 12.5 feet, he knows this because he measured it. Mayor Crewe stated this is
why he asked Mr. Orfield about the pavement width because the right of way is wider than 25
feet, but noted that the pavement would be 25 feet. Mr. Orfield noted that is correct. Mayor
Crewe inquired if anyone else has any questions or comments. Councilman Lambert noted that
if there are four vehicles in this area, this is 24 feet approximately, so there is only one foot of
room. He noted that he could see where this could be a problem if there is parking on both sides
of the street. Mr. Orfield noted that, normally, there are not vehicles parked on both sides of the
street. He noted that he has lived on Fisher Road for five years and he has seen a car parked
overnight on the street less than twelve times. Mr. Orfield remarked that the people just respect
this. He commented that he feels like if the Council makes it final with “no parking” signs, it is
going to create problems and lower the value of the properties. Mr. Orfield stated that there is
an empty, $250,000 building for sale on Fisher Road, and if the Town installs “no parking,”
signs, it will make the property even harder to sell. Mayor Crewe noted the parking signs would
be addressed later in the meeting. Mr. Orfield thanked the Town Council for allowing him to
speak. Mayor Crewe thanked Mr. Orfield for speaking.
Mayor Crewe advised that in looking at the sign in sheet, there is no one else listed to address
the Council during Citizens’ Period, however, if there is someone else who wished to speak,
now is the time to do so. There being no one else to address the Council during Citizens’
Period, Mayor Crewe proceeded with the agenda.

He has requested that the Council set a public hearing for the June 22, 2015, Council
meeting, in the event that there are amendments needed for the budget for fiscal year
2014-15. Mayor Crewe inquired if there is any objection to scheduling this public
hearing. He noted that Town staff would do so by way of advertisement. Town Manager
Sutherland inquired of Mayor Crewe if the Council would make a motion to set this
hearing. Mayor Crewe inquired if there is a motion to set a public hearing for the June
22, 2015, meeting to consider various appropriations to the budget for Fiscal Year 201415. A motion was made by Councilman Lambert and seconded by Councilman Hundley
to set a public hearing for the June 22, 2015, meeting to consider various appropriations
to the budget for Fiscal Year 2014-15. Mayor Crewe inquired of the Council if there is
any discussion on the motion to set the public hearing. There being none, the motion
was approved with the following voting in favor and there being no oppositions: For:
Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Jacqueline K. King, William B. Weisiger, H. Judson Lambert,
Thomas F. Hundley. Against: None.
RE: BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
Councilman Weisiger, reporting for the Budget and Finance Committee, stated that at the last
meeting of Council, local hotel owners, who collect the lodging tax, suggested that more of the
revenues being derived from the tax increase should be directed for marketing purposes. He
noted that the meals and lodging tax increases were approved at the last meeting and will
become effective August 1, 2015. Councilman Weisiger remarked that after that meeting, the
Budget and Finance Committee did, in fact, review the budget with the potential for adding
additional marketing dollars to the Department of Tourism. He commented that the Budget and
Finance Committee agrees that the marketing efforts of Director Rosa Jude have been very
effective and giving her additional marketing dollars can do nothing but generate additional
meals and lodging taxes. Councilman Weisiger stated, currently, the budget, as drafted,
allocates $57,000 for new marketing activities. He advised that the Budget and Finance
Committee would recommend that when the budget is considered on second reading, it be
amended to the extent that this line item for new marketing be revised to $75,000. Councilman
Weisiger commented that these additional funds will be taken from the line item noted as
“Infrastructure Improvements” with the net of this amendment being zero. He remarked that
when the budget is considered later in the meeting, it would be the recommendation of the
Budget and Finance Committee that the budget be approved with this amendment.
Councilman Weisiger also reported that Chapter 5 of the Town Code establishes the regulation
for the administration and operation of the Town’s cemeteries. He stated that Section 5-9 of this
chapter specifically sets forth regulations with regard to firearms being permitted in the
cemetery. Councilman Weisiger noted that the regulations specifically provide that the
discharge of firearms in the cemetery will be permitted only for military funerals or other
appropriate activity approved by the Town Manager’s Office. He commented that this section,
also, prohibits firearms from being allowed in the cemetery by anyone other than for military
funerals and being worn by authorized officers of the law. Councilman Weisiger remarked that
recently, the Town was contacted by the Virginia Citizens Defense League noting that the law
now permits possession of a weapon anywhere, provided that it is not concealed or treated in a
reckless or haphazard manner. He explained that it is correct that the law does now allow for
the possession of firearms in places that the Town feels inappropriate. Councilman Weisiger
stated in any event, to be in compliance with the law, the Council will consider an ordinance
later in the meeting that will remove that section of language from the cemetery regulations. He
noted that when the ordinance is presented, it would be the recommendation of the Budget and
Finance Committee that it be approved on first and final reading. A copy of the Budget and
Finance Committee report is attached and made part of these minutes.
RE: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
Councilman Hundley, reporting for the Public Works Committee, stated the Town has received
several inquiries about sight distance and safety matters on Fisher Road between Mountain
View Drive and Valley Street. He noted that when cars are parked on either side of the street in
this section, approaching vehicles have a sight distance problem and this creates an unsafe
situation with vehicles approaching each other. Councilman Hundley explained that this is
especially true for vehicles proceeding south on Fisher Road, approaching Mountain View
Drive. He remarked that the crest in the hill requires vehicles traveling in this direction to go
around a parked car putting them, essentially, in the northbound travel lane, so there is no sight
distance. Councilman Hundley commented that the Public Works Committee thinks this is a
situation that needs to be corrected. He advised that it would be the recommendation of the
Public Works Committee that both sides of Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and
Valley Street be posted with “No Parking” signage. Mayor Crewe stated the motion from the
Public Works Committee is to post “No Parking” signs on both sides of Fisher Road between
Mountain View Drive and Valley Street. He commented that if he is misinterpreting the motion
wrong, to please correct him, otherwise, this is the motion from the Committee. Mayor Crewe
inquired if there is any discussion on the motion to post the signs. Councilman Hundley stated in
hearing Mr. Orfield’s comments, he thinks the Council should reconsider the signage. He
advised that the Town should add a centerline to Fisher Road, instead of posting “no parking”
signage and see if that will suffice. Mayor Crewe stated that if he is interpreting Councilman
Hundley correctly, then the Public Works Committee is withdrawing the motion that both sides of
Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and Valley Street be posted with “no parking”
signage. He explained if he is correct, there is simply no motion on the table and nothing to be
tabled. Mayor Crewe advised that there is simply no action taken. He noted if the Committee
wants to make a motion to add a centerline on Fisher Road, this can be made by way of a
motion. Mayor Crewe stated this could be done at the next meeting, if the Committee would like
to discuss it further at the next Council Work Session. He commented that he is not trying to tell
the Committee what to do, however, he is only giving them options. Councilman Hundley
inquired of Councilman Lambert what his thoughts were in regard to the motion. Councilman
Lambert suggested discussing this issue further at the next Council Work Session in order to
have something in place that works well for everyone. He noted then the Committee can report
back to the Council at the next meeting. Mayor Crewe advised this is 100 percent of the Public
Works Committee who is wanting to withdraw the motion and take no action. It was the
consensus of the Council to continue to study the request for “no parking” on both sides of
Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and Valley Street. Mayor Crewe stated since there is
no motion to be considered, Councilman Hundley can proceed with his report.
Councilman Hundley also reported that this week at the Council Work Session, the Public
Works Committee had the opportunity to review a schematic of the work to be performed in the
downtown area. He remarked that this schematic drawing was prepared by Hill Studio, the
consultant who is developing the design work for the downtown area. Councilman Hundley
stated that the schematic illustrates where the new brick sidewalk and curb and guttering will be
installed, as well as the new stamped brick crossings at all of the crosswalks. He noted that it,
also, depicts where new landscaping is to be installed and where new light fixtures will be
located. Councilman Hundley explained that at the last Council Work Session, the Public Works
Committee agreed that the new lamp posts should be black with a fluted exterior. He
commented that the Public Works Committee would ask that this schematic be publically
displayed in both the Municipal Building and the Community Center so that citizens have the
opportunity to look at these planned improvements. Councilman Hundley stated another part of
the activities in the downtown area involves the development of a Farmers’ Market. He noted
that in late 2014, the Town purchased the old Hobert N. Grubb warehouse building located at
the corner of Spring and Second Streets. Councilman Hundley explained that this building was
purchased by using grant funds from the Wythe-Bland Foundation. He remarked that the Town
has now executed a contract for the removal of the steel shelving and other items within this
building and are preparing to bid services, such as interior and exterior painting of the building.
Councilman Hundley explained that Town forces will install new interior lighting. He stated this
Farmers’ Market will have both interior and exterior space for the sale of agricultural products.
Councilman Hundley commented that the building, also, has the distinct advantage of being
located adjacent to the new Heritage Walkway that will be constructed later this year. He noted,
subsequently, the Town wants to apply for Rural Development funding so that additional work
can be performed to the structure. Councilman Hundley advised, finally, the Public Works
Committee would like to note that Downtown Wytheville, Incorporated is working on various
economic stimulus activities in the downtown, including a “Shark Tank” activity that will award
funding to the successful business for a new venture that will be provided in the downtown area.
He remarked the Council members realize that some of these activities may cause certain
inconveniences while improvements are being performed, however, in the long term, the
Council believes that it is a very important project for the town. Councilman Hundley advised
that there is no action required by the Council at this time, but the Public Works Committee did
want to inform everyone about the ongoing activities. A copy of the Public Works Committee
report is attached and made part of these minutes.
Mayor Crewe advised that the consequence of the withdraw of the earlier motion is that nothing
is being done about “no parking” on Fisher Road, however, it is under consideration and may be
on the agenda at the next Town Council meeting. He noted that “no parking” signage would not
be erected at this time. Town Manager Sutherland advised that Town staff would contact Mr.
Orfield if the topic is placed on the next Council agenda.
RE: ORDINANCE NO. 1297
Mayor Crewe advised the next agenda item is Ordinance No. 1297, the Budget Ordinance for
Fiscal Year 2015-16. He stated that the Budget and Finance Committee is recommending that
the line item for new marketing activities be increased from $57,000 to $75,000. Mayor Crewe
noted that is in the budget before the Council. He advised that the Budget and Finance
Committee’s motion is that Ordinance No. 1297, the Budget Ordinance for Fiscal Year 2015-16
be adopted as amended to include the $75,000 figure. Mayor Crewe explained that the third and
final reading of the budget will be held at the June 22, 2015, Town Council meeting. A motion
was made by Councilman Weisiger and seconded by Vice-Mayor King to approve Ordinance
No. 1297, the Budget Ordinance for Fiscal Year 2015-16, on second, but not final, reading, as
amended. He inquired if there is any discussion on the motion to approve Ordinance No. 1297,
the Budget Ordinance for Fiscal Year 2015-16, as amended, to increase the tourism dollars.
There being none, the motion was approved with the following voting in favor and there being
no opposition:
FOR:
Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Jacqueline K. King, William B. Weisiger, H. Judson
Lambert, Thomas F. Hundley
AGAINST:
None
ABSTENTIONS:
None
Ordinance No. 1297 was approved on second, but not final, reading, as amended.
RE: ORDINANCE NO. 1298
Mayor Crewe advised the next agenda item is Ordinance No. 1298, an ordinance amending and
reenacting Chapter 5, Cemeteries, Section 5-9. Firearms, of the Code of the Town of
Wytheville, Virginia. He noted the Budget and Finance Committee’s motion is to adopt
Ordinance No. 1298 on first and final reading to be effective immediately. Mayor Crewe
explained that the ordinance, basically, states firearms can be carried in the cemetery but only
discharged for military funerals or other activities as approved by the Town Manager’s Office. A
motion was made by Councilman Weisiger and seconded by Vice-Mayor King to suspend the
rules and adopt Ordinance No. 1298, an ordinance amending and reenacting Chapter 5,
Cemeteries, Section 5-9. Firearms, of the Code of the Town of Wytheville, Virginia, on first, and
final, reading. Mayor Crewe inquired if there is discussion on the motion to approve Ordinance
No. 1298. There being none, the motion was approved with the following voting in favor and
there being no opposition:
FOR:
Trenton G. Crewe, Jr., Thomas F. Hundley, H. Judson Lambert, William
B. Weisiger, Jacqueline K. King
AGAINST:
None
ABSTENTIONS:
None
Ordinance No. 1298 was adopted on first and final reading.
RE: ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to be discussed, a motion was duly made, seconded and
carried to adjourn the meeting (7:24 p.m.).

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
JUNE 8, 2015
1.
At the last meeting of Council, local hotel owners, who collect the lodging tax,
suggested that more of the revenues being derived from the tax increase should
be directed for marketing purposes. The meals and lodging tax increases were
approved at the last meeting and will become effective August 1, 2015. After that
meeting, we did, in fact, review the budget with the potential for adding additional
marketing dollars to the Department of Tourism. We agree that the marketing
efforts of Director Rosa Jude have been very effective and giving her additional
marketing dollars can do nothing but generate additional meals and lodging
taxes. Currently, the budget, as drafted, allocates $57,000 for new marketing
activities. We would recommend that when the budget is considered on second
reading, it be amended to the extent that this line item for new marketing be
revised to $75,000. These additional funds will be taken from the line item noted
as “Infrastructure Improvements” with the net of this amendment being zero.
When the budget is considered later in the meeting, it would be the
recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee that the budget be
approved with this amendment.
2.
Chapter 5 of the Town Code establishes the regulation for the administration and
operation of the Town’s cemeteries. Section 5-9 of this chapter specifically sets
forth regulations with regard to firearms being permitted in the cemetery. The
regulations specifically provide that the discharge of firearms in the cemetery will
1
be permitted only for military funerals or other appropriate activity approved by
the Town Manager’s Office. This section, also, prohibits firearms from being
allowed in the cemetery by anyone other than for military funerals and being
worn by authorized officers of the law. Recently, we were contacted by the
Virginia Citizens Defense League noting that the law now permits possession of
a weapon anywhere, provided that it is not concealed or treated in a reckless or
haphazard manner. It is correct that the law does now allow for the possession of
firearms in places that we feel are inappropriate. In any event, to be in
compliance with the law, the Council will consider an ordinance later in the
meeting that will remove that section of language from the cemetery regulations.
When the ordinance is presented, it would be the recommendation of the Budget
and Finance Committee that it be approved on first and final reading.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
JUNE 8, 2015
1.
We have received several inquiries about sight distance and safety matters on
Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and Valley Street. When cars are parked
on either side of the street in this section, approaching vehicles have a sight
distance problem and this creates an unsafe situation with vehicles approaching
each other. This is especially true for vehicles proceeding south on Fisher Road,
approaching Mountain View Drive. The crest in the hill requires vehicles traveling in
this direction to go around a parked car putting them, essentially, in the northbound
travel lane, so there is no sight distance. We think this is a situation that needs to be
corrected. It would be the recommendation of the Public Works Committee that both
sides of Fisher Road between Mountain View Drive and Valley Street be posted with
“No Parking” signage.
2.
This week at the Council Work Session, we had the opportunity to review a
schematic of the work to be performed in the downtown area. This schematic
drawing was prepared by Hill Studio, the consultant who is developing the design
work for the downtown area. The schematic illustrates where the new brick sidewalk
and curb and guttering will be installed, as well as the new stamped brick crossings
at all of the crosswalks. It, also, depicts where new landscaping is to be installed and
where new light fixtures will be located. At the last Council Work Session, we agreed
that the new lamp posts should be black with a fluted exterior. We would ask that
1
this schematic be publically displayed in both the Municipal Building and the
Community Center so that citizens have the opportunity to look at these planned
improvements. Another part of the activities in the downtown area involves the
development of a Farmers’ Market. In late 2014, the Town purchased the old Hobert
N. Grubb warehouse building located at the corner of Spring and Second Streets.
This building was purchased by using grant funds from the Wythe-Bland Foundation.
We have now executed a contract for the removal of the steel shelving and other
items within this building and are preparing to bid services, such as interior and
exterior painting of the building. Town forces will install new interior lighting. This
Farmers’ Market will have both interior and exterior space for the sale of agricultural
products. The building, also, has the distinct advantage of being located adjacent to
the new Heritage Walkway that will be constructed later this year. Subsequently, we
want to apply for Rural Development funding so that additional work can be
performed to the structure. Finally, we would like to note that Downtown Wytheville,
Incorporated is working on various economic stimulus activities in the downtown,
including a “Shark Tank” activity that will award funding to the successful business
for a new venture that will be provided in the downtown area. We realize that some
of these activities may cause certain inconveniences while improvements are being
performed, however, in the long term, we believe that it is a very important project
for our town. There is no action required by the Council at this time, but we did want
to inform everyone about the ongoing activities.
