Dear Dr. Doug,
I live next to a vacation rental home on a canal. The other day there were manatees in the canal. I took my daughter out to watch them. Several other neighbors also came out as well. The people renting the house next to me started squirting the manatees with a garden hose and eventually the manatees came over to drink the fresh water directly from the hose. Of course, the renters were taking tons of photographs. I politely told the man it was illegal to feed or water the manatee and he then proceeded to berate me in front of my daughter and neighbors, saying that I should mind my own business and âThanks for ruining his vacation!â Isnât it illegal to feed and water manatees? Who can I call if I see this happening again?
Hundreds of neighbors petitioned to dismiss a rezoning request, but Roanoke County approved 41 acres in the Hollins area for residential use, leaving developers to plan for a new subdivision with as many as 124 houses.
After weighing the need for new housing against a bevy of concerns from existing neighbors, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a rezoning request at 5524 Old Mountain Road, submitted by local developer R. Fralin Homes.
âAll due respect to our citizens,â said Supervisor Paul Mahoney, after a two-hour public hearing. âIâve read all the comments over the weekend. I think theyâd be screaming a whole lot louder if there was an industrial use on this property.â
