Questions about the "smart" highway, financing emergency repairs to leaking school roofs and public hearings on a major subdivision proposal near Radford and a quarry expansion near Blacksburg will be up Monday before the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors.
The board meets at 7 p.m. on the third floor of the Montgomery County Courthouse. It is the last scheduled meeting until January, when Chairman Larry Linkous leaves the board and Mary Biggs replaces him.
Topics include:
Reviewing a list of questions developed by a staff committee on the Virginia Department of Transportation's proposed condemnation of private land in a county agricultural and forestal district for the smart highway. The list, if approved, would be forwarded on to VDOT. It would then be up to the state agency to file a new letter declaring its intent to condemn the land in the conservation zone.
A public hearing for requests by Ben Harris and Fred Franklin to rezone 205 acres for a major new residential development off Rock Road south of Radford in the county. Long-range plans call for building 150 homes on the land, an engineer for the developers said last month.
A public hearing on Acco Stone Co.'s request to expand its rock quarry from 90 acres to 190 acres. The quarry is located between Jennelle and Yellow Sulphur roads south of Blacksburg.
Considering a request for a $291,000 emergency appropriation from the county School Board to repair four school roofs. The schools include Prices Fork Elementary, Blacksburg Middle and Shawsville and Auburn high schools.
