ITEM #11443
Mr. John Hodgson appeared before Council regarding the preservation of the old
Coast Guard Station. Mr. Hodgson stated that with regards to historic land
marks, the City has already designated the area an historical site, and the
General Services Administration bas recommended the Coast Guard Station be
listed as an historic land mark.
The records show that tbe owners, whomever the courts decide, will be willing to
transfer the Coast Guard Station to the City of Virginia Beach. Ilowever, the
building will have to be moved, perhaps to the foot of 24th Street.
The City Manager stated that at Council's request the staff looked into the
possibility of moving the Coast Guard Station from its present location to
24th Street. It could not, however, be parallel to the beach as it is now,
but would have to be moved perpendicular to the beach.
The building could be moved for approximately $25,000, and be
refurbished for approximately $130,000.
ITEM #11444
Mr. Allen Perrel appeared before Council to introduce Mr. Gary Farr, who will
speak before Council regarding the use of plastic water and sewer pipes,
Mr. Perrell did, however, request that Council amend the Department of Public
Utilities standards to allow the use of PBC pipe for City water and sewer mains.
Mr. Farr stated he did bring a sample of the produce and literature for Council's
perusal, and stated that PBC pipe will not do the following:
1. Deteriorate
2. Corrode
3. Have shear breaks
The advantages to the use of PBC will be the following:
1. Eliminates man power as pipes are light weight.
2. High impact resistance.
3. Diameter same OD as pipe now used.
4. Directly tap into lines now being used.
5. Long term safety factor of 4 to 1.
6. More economical
The City Manager stated that he feels there is a definite advantage to the use
of PBC pipe, and engineering studies are underway and he will- be reporting back

Councilman Riggs stated he attended a meeting with the Hotel-Motel owners
regarding their objections to the 8-foot wide bicycle path; and stated that
the owners were going to ask the Council to hold up on the construction of
the bicycle path.
Vice Mayor Standing stated that Council was asked to accelerate this project
in the Capital Improvements Program, and it would not be right to not allow

path, that is not true they will be restricted from the boardwalk.
Council directed the City Manager to continue with the project.
