PLANNING AGENDA
(ITEM II-F.1) ITEM #14880
The City Manacer indicated he had hoped the confusion and clarification of
duplex and semi-detached dwellings could be resolved. It seemed the more
we studied the definition the more confusing it became. Consequently, the
staff feels the best thing to do is to drop the entire question and con-
sider the question Council rejected in the past, which was to consider the
possibility of single-family homes on 5,000-square foot lots; however, this
particular definition in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance the staff is
requesting it remain in its present form. A person can have semi-detached
dwellings (considered townhouses) on 2,500@quare foot lots, and there can
be two placed on the lot; however, you cannot have a duplex unless it is
on two (2) 5,000-square foot lots, even if they appear the same. In that
respect, and only that respect, it is confusing.
Planning Commission and Planning Department are studying the possibility of
eliminating that by going to the R-8 Residential District, 5,000-square foot
lots for fingle-family homes, which would eliminate the problems.
Upon motion by Councilman Baum, seconded by Councilwoman Oberndorf, City Council
voted to DENY the Ordinance to amend and reordain Article 6 of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to duplexes in the A-1 through A-4 Apartment District.

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN
SECTION 4.5 OF THE SUBDIVISION
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH, VIRGINIA, RELATING TO PUBLIC
SITES AND OPEN SPACES
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That Section 4.5 of the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Virginia
Beach, Virginia, is amended as follows:
4.5 Public Sites and Open Spaces
It is required that residential developers meet the following recreational
open space requirements to serve the residents of their developments:
(a) The developer shall reserve within his Subdivision a parcel of
land for open space and recreational purposes according to the
following rates:
% of Total Land Required for
Lot Size Open Space
Less than 5,000 sq. ft. 150@
5,000 sq. ft. -7,499 sq. ft. 1 201
7,500 sq. ft. - 9,999 sq. ft. 10%

20,000 sq. ft. -29 9 99 sq . ft. 6%
30,000 sq. ft. -39 9 99 sq. ft. 5%
greater than 40,000 sq. ft. 3%
However, in Subdivisions where the resulting area to he reserved
for recreational purposes would be less than two acres, there shall
be no reservation of land required.
(b) As an alternative to the requirement in (a) above, if mutually
agreed to by the City and the developer, the developer may elect
to meet the recreational open space requirement by one of the
following methods:
(1) The developer may dedicate at no cost to the City a parcel
of land equal in size to one-half the area derived from (a)
above.
(2) The developer may dedicate at no cost to the City a parcel of
land lesser in size than one-half the area derived from (a)
above, provided that he also installs facilities or other im-
provements or an approved schedule so that the total recreational
amenity provided is in the opinion of the Planning Director
equivalent to that which would be provided by (a) above.
(3) Any other arrangement mutually agreed to by the City and the
developer, provided that the recreational amenity made available
is equivalent to that which would be provided by (a) above.

(c) As a further alternative to the requirements in (a) and (b) above,
the developer may establish a Homeowner's Association to own and
maintain open space and facilities provided for in (a) and (b)
above in perpetuity, provided, however, that the Homeowner's
Agreement be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director
and the City Attorney. It must be demonstrated that the Home-
owner's Association will have the capability to adequately
maintain those facilities to be owned by it. The amount of
open space provided, and the nature and extent of facilities
or other improvements provided must be sufficient in the
opinion of the Planning Director to constitute a recreational
amenity equivalent to that which would otherwise be provided
by (a) above.
(d) All land provided for recreation must be easily accessible from
all the lots of the Subdivision and must be located on land well
suited for recreational purposes. No land whose use for
recreational purposes is significantly impeded by the presence
of easements, soil conditions, topographic conditions, or other
similar factors, shall be included as land set aside for
recreation.
(e) The developer must provide clearly defined street and
pedestrian access to the open space areas.
(f) Any reservation of land for public acquisition and use required
under this provision shall be void if not executed within five
years from the date of recordation of the Subdivision Agreement,
provided, however, that the City Council may release such re-
served land at an earlier date if it is found to be no longer
necessary to the public purpose. The compensation due the
developer shall be an expressed element of the Subdivision
Agreement.
(g) The developer shall be required to show in dotted lines on the
final plat how he will develop any reserved areas in the event
that the City elects not to acquire the reserved property.

UNFINIStiED BUSINESS
(ITEM II-I.1) ITEM #14896
The City Clerk read the following letter from the City Manager:
"As Council requested, attached is a list provided by officials
of the Finance Department of the 45 change orders to the Arts
and Conference Center through 1 March 1980, as well as 16 change
orders to the Operations Building. The total change order for
the Arts and Conference Center have resulted in a decrease of
$48,655.64 from the original contract, whereas changes to the
Operations Building have increased the original contract
$80,702.32.
I believe it is anticipated in any major structure that there
will be considerable change orders after the letting of the
original contract. With any project, contingencies have always
been budgeted for this purpose. For instance, the most recent
CIP identified $500,000 as the total contingencies for the Arts
and Conference Center and $205,000 for contingencies for the
Operations Building.
As previously discussed, the original conception to allow easy
flow of work and employee/public access between the City Hall
Building and the Operations Building was by means of a tunnel.
Although there were two series of steps considered to go over
the tunnel to improve public access from parking facilities
to the Municipal and Circuit Court area, only one set was bid.
The second set was delayed to determine if there was sufficient
funds in the Operations Building's contingencies after the
project had been let to allow for their reinstatement.
Since the opening of the Operations Building, many requests for
increased access to the Municipal and Court area from the parking
area have been received. As a response to these requests, and
due to the fact that construction costs for the Operations Building
were coming in under estimates, I authorized the second set of steps
to be built. Change order 15 of the Operations Building includes
$31,500 for this second set of steps.
When the $4.4 Million price tag for the project was considered,
the cost of the second set of steps is not unreasonable. Nor
should they be viewed as a luxury. The permanency of this
structure, hundreds of years of anticipated use, and the
3 / 17 8 0
- 57-
pedestrian traffic would justify the cost.
If'City Council decides not to proceed with the
installation of the steps, $11,129 would be "lost"
in the form of required payments to the contractor,
purchase of the steps, etc. We would also have to
store the steps until we could determine an alternate
use for them.
It is, therefore, recommended that City Council agree
to lift the stop work order and permit construction
of the steps as originally planned."
!Jpon motion by Councilwoman Oberndorf, seconded b@/ Councilman Riggs, City Council
voted to DELETE the second set of steps allowing public access across the tunnel
joining the Administration and Operations Building and to properly store the
already purchased set of steps.

OLD BUSINESS
(ITEM II-H.3) ITEM #14897
Councilwoman Henle@t discussed with Council the question of reconsideration
of Planning items, etc., as she has a great deal of difficulty with this
matter, as Council has not studied the legal ramifications.
City Attorney Bimson indicated his staff has researched the matter and is
considering recommending to Council that certain Ordinances, such as Zoning
Ordinances, not he effective until thirty (30) days after adoption by Council,
which would give Council time to reconsider the application if it so desired;
however, if the applicant indicates it is a "hardship" case Council has the
option of deleting the thirty (30) days provision and making the Ordinance
effective immediately.
