itself within two years, and should save the City approximately
$25,000 a year in time alone.
COUNCILMAN GRIFFI14 ARRIVED IN MEETING AT 1:07 P.M.
COUNCILMAN MCCOY ARRIVED IN MEETING AT 1:12 P.M.
ITE@l #10401
The City Manager informed Council that on Februaryl4, 1977 he was
bringing to Council the report requested by Councilman Riggs on
the use of automobiles by employees of this City.
ITEAI #10402
The City 14anager stated that State law allows the admi,i,trative
staff, as well as City Council, several methods by which property
could be disposed of if considered surplus or part of a City right-
of-way, such as:
1. The street closure process whereby notice is given
by the interested persons tliat they wish to close
a street. A public hearing is held, it is advertised
and Council closes the street. The street is then
divided between the abutting property owners.
2. Vacation of plat which the City Council hears where the
street is no longer needed.
3. Allows the administration of any municipality, if it
is not contrary to the public's interest, to replat
and actually close said street.
There is a circumstance that where an individual owns the underlying
fee sinple title of the street, once that street is closed it does
not go to the abutting property owners, but goes back to the original
developer. The City Manager informed Council that the City has
received a subdivision on such a street, 89th Street. This is a
four-lot subdivision adjacent to Fort Story. There are no abutting
property owners to the north of 89th Street, and the only abutting
property owners are on the South of 89th Street.
This particulelr subdivision plat does not close the southern portion
of 89th Street, which is 100-foot right of way, however, it does
vacate approximately 50-feet of the northern portion of 89th Street.
By State law the City can accept this as a subdivision, and process
it as a subdivision; however, the City @,lanager stated he would like
some guidance from Council on this matter.
Alr. Richard Browner, one of the land owners, stated that the owners
will widen 89th Street along the right-of-way, and will provide an
easement on the south side of lot 2B. That easement would lead to
a pedestrain bridge, which will be constructed at tbe owners expense.
Mr. Browner further stated that the main concern would be whether
the City would record it or not, as it is in the area that's pre-
viously been considered by some to be a street. If the City did
record it then the City would be allowing a subdivision without
going through the normal street closure process.
Vice Mayor Standing stated that 89th Street was, to his knowledge,
an improved street froin the northern property line of the Plat of
Cape Henry to the Fort Story line.
Mr. Tazewell Ilubard, President of the North Virginia Beach Civic
League, appeared at tlie Informal Meeting regarding the above matter.
Mr. Hubard stated that the residents in the area believe that 89th
Street is a dedicated street, and the street has been maintained,
policed and treated by the City and the former County of Princess
Anne as a public street.
Mr. II. Calvin Spain, Attorney, representing the original owners
of the land, the Lake George Corporation and 14r. Edward Lindsley,
who purchased the interests and properties from the defunct Lake
George Corporation, indicated that Mr. Lindsley had a title guarantee,
proper deeds and tax receipts from t'@le City of Virginia Beach for
payments of taxes to date on the land in question.
After considerable discussion, Council requested the City Attorney
to meet with Mr. Spain to determine actual ownership of 89th Street.
ITEM #10403
The City Manager stated that as Council is aware approval for the
acquisition of Rose Hall was granted in an attempt to preserve the
historic significance of the buildings.
On June 6, 1975, the staff presented to Council a concept to purchase
the entire 35 acre tract and developing it on an entrepreneural
approach of municipal government. The City staff has developed
preliminary plans for developrient based on the program that was
submitted to Council.
Recently, the City has been approached by a private developer,
Mr. Ray Breeden, to purchase 30 acres of the Rose Ilall property
to construct homes for the elderly and possibly place some
commercial buildings on the area.
The City Manager stated that if the proposal was granted all the
requirements for development would be borne by the developer and
not the City, and would be an opportunity to have private enterprise
develope the property. The developer would, of course, provide the
regular City requirements such as water and sewer, standard site
plan requirements, etc.
The City Manager stated ihat Mr. Dreeden had a very good proposal;
however, he would like to see if any other developer has a similar
plan.
Councilman Griffin stated that before the City signs an agreement
with Ray Breeden, or do any direct negotiating with anybody, there
should be an open invitation for bids for development of the pro-
perty.
Vice Mayor Standing requested the City Manager to advertise for
design bids, informing the bidders of the deed restrictions re-
garding the design of the property, with particular reference
being made to the "Great liouse", and some 5 acres of land.
-.he City Manager stated he will advertise for design bids on Rose
lIall, and will inform all bidders of the deed restrictions making
particular reference to the "Great Ilouse".

City Council adopted the following resolution proclaiming the
week of January 30, 1977 through February 5, 1977 as "Meals on
Wheels" Week:
R E S 0 L U T I 0 N
The attention of the City Council of the City of Virginia
Beach has been directed to the work which is being done by vol-
unteers who serve the elderly and low income citizens of the
City through the organization known as "Meals on Wheels".
Persons physically unable through age or disability to pre-
pare nutritionally adequate meals may have delivered to their
homes two meals a day for $2.00 per day fee, those unable to pay
still receive the meals. It is noted that sixty percent of those
served are financially unable to pay for the meal service. The
program is intended to encourage the elderly and financially dis-
tressed to decline welfare assistante and to maintain their own
homes.
Now, therefore, in support of this program, the dance and the
auction, which will be held at the Sheraton Beach Inn on Atlantic
Avenue in Virginia Beach on SatuTday, February S, 1977 from 9:00
p.m. to 1:00 a.m. which is the only annual major function for
raising funds the Meals on Wheels promotes, the City Council of
the City of Virginia Beach does declare the week beginning January
30, 1977 through Saturday, February 5, 1977 as "Meals on Wheels
Week" and does endorse the efforts being made by these volunteer
citizens to relieve the problems of age and scarcity being endured
by their fellow citizens.

ITEM #10421
Mr. Rhys Kear, Planner, appeared before Council regarding Section
8 housing, which is a component part of the liousing and Community
Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383).
Mr. Kear stated that Section 8 replaces several of the federal
housing programs initiated in the 1960's and serves an an omnibus
housing bill for a variety of housing financing mechanisms. Section
8 also provides the following"
1. A rental subsidy to the tenants of participating
housing complexes, rather than subsidizing the
developer's mortgage interest rates.
2. Previously, under Programs such as 235 and 236, FHA
would subsidize mortgage interest rates for developers
of approved housing complexes, and thus enable the
developer to reduce rental rates to occupying tenants.
3. Serves as a financing mechanism for several federal
mortga@,e insurance programs.
1
4. Section 8 Rental Subsidy Program can also be used
by developers in tandem with FHA mortgage insurance
programs and HUD loan programs--such as Section 202
loans for elderly housing projects developed by non-
profit sponsors.
5. Some Section 8 monies are distributed to the Virginia
Ilousing Development Authority for use in its housing
programs.
Mr. Kear further stated that the for past two years, the Southeastern
Virginia Planning District Commission member jurisdictions have been
developin-. housing assistance goals on an individual basis, and because
of changing HUD perspectives and a significantly decreased Section 8
allocation for this fiscal year, the jurisdictions (at the technical
committee level) decided to develop a regional Housing Assistance
Plan:
a. It reduces the staff work load significantly by
utilizin, a common approach and data (HUD reviews
localities in a regional context).
b. It enables member jurisdictions to participate in
potential bonus allocations of Section 8 units.
Mr. Kear stated that there are several developers who are capable
of assisting housing proposed for this City.
1. Fralin and Waldron from Roanoke, Virginia, applied
jointly to IIUD and VHDA for 300 units of General
Occupancy housing and 150 units of elderly housing -
both in the Green Run PUD.
2. The Gene B. Glick Company has applied for 200 General
Occupancy units in the Broad Meadows, Bayside, area.
The staff would like to accommodate these interested parties, given
the fact that private industry is willing to supply the units and
given the need that has been previously stated.
Mr. Kear stated that the staff requests the Council to endorse the
approach chosen to fulfill the need for housing assistance and
directives of the Block Grant Program, and further request Council
to authorize the City Nlanager to endorse the housing assistance
goals to IIUD and incorporate the goal into the City's Block Grant
Application for Fiscal Year 1977-1978.
The City Manager stated that the purpose of this presentation was
to give the Council an indication of the work the Planning Staff
and the Grants Staff have done on the Comrqunity Developnient Grants
Act.
After this presentation to Council it will be the staff's intent to
go to the various neighborhoods again to get ideas from residents
concerning housing deficiency and to study them further.
This presentation is in line with the proposals made by the Virginia
Beach Tomorrow Program and housing needs are being recognized and
coped with by the municipal government and to encourage private
development for such supplemental housing needs.
The City @danager further stated that he is not sure of the exact
amount the Federal Government would be authorizing to Virginia
Beach as far as low income rental units under the Section 8 Housing
Code.
ITEM #10422
Mayor Holland requested the ordinances on water and sewer, which were

Vice Mayor Standing requested the City Attorney to begin, immediately,

year limitation for connection to public facilities.
Councilman Cromwell requested the City Manager to prosecute those
residents that have had water and/or sewer lines in front of their
homes the longest.
ITEI,l #10423
Mayor Holland stated that Council received a letter from Delegate
Glenn McClanan regarding his uncertainty over a request from Council
for a charter chaiige.
