The purpose of the station was to assist in recognizing adverse wind conditions that might affect flights in and out of Norfolk International Airport. The site is fifty feet (50') square and contains 2,500 square feet of area within the City property. Because the preperty was under long term lease to the State of Virginia, the Commonwealth executed the document to consent to the lease to the United States.

The current lease has expired and the United States desires to continue use of the facility for its intended purpose. Considerations: This facility is vital to the safe operation of the regional airport and the City of Virginia Beach and the State of Virginia have previously agreed to allow the usage without monetary consideration. There are no plans to utilize this parcel of property for any usage other than is presently established, for the foreseeable future.

DRAFT. 31-JUL-2002 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council FROM: James K. Spore, City Manager ITEM: Acceptance of State Grant MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: The General Assembly established the Two-for-Life program for the purpose of providing financial assistance to volunteer rescue squads and municipal EMS agencies to fund EMS programs and projects. As required by Virginia Code 46.2-694, the Two-for-Life program collects two additional dollars on each state automobile license purchased annually. Nearly 1/3 of these monies is allocated to the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund (RSAF). Each year, the Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical Services applies for grants from RSAF. Many major projects and initiatives have been made possible solely through the assistance of this grant program. During the last grant cycle, the Department of Emergency Medical Services applied for and was awarded a 50% grant of $28,704.00 to purchase 4 monitor/defibrillators and to support recruiting efforts and a second 100% grant of $17,954.00 for training fees, supplies, and equipment to support rescue squad operations. Considerations: · The equipment & recruiting grant requires a 50% match ($28,704.00) by local funds. Emergency Medical Services currently has the matching funds budgeted in FY2002-03. · The advanced life support training grant provides 100% program funding ($17,954.00) and, hence, requires no local match. · RSAF guidelines require that the receiving agency must purchase the equipment and services in advance. Once the project is completed, the recipient can then file for reimbursement. · An advance appropriation of these grant monies in the amount of $46,658.00 ($28,704.00 and $17,954.00) to the Department of Emergency Medical Services budget is required to make the above purchases. Public Information: Grant awards are announced in the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services and Tidewater Emergency Medical Services, Inc. newsletters. Alternatives: · Decline RSAF funds and delay purchases. · Accept RSAF award. Recommendations: Accept RSAF award and appropriate to the Department of Emergency Medical Services $46,658.00 as an advance of funds to purchase equipment and services, to be reimbursed by the State after the transaction.

Spore, City Manager ITEM: Transfer of $116,136 from Contractual Services to Add 3 FTE's for the Cleaning of Nine City Facilities Currently Under Custodial Service Contract MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: The cleaning of the City of Virginia Beach's facilities is accomplished through a combination of City Members and Contract Custodial Services. Currently, all buildings at the Municipal Center are serviced by City Members and all other City facilities are serviced by cleaning contractors. While this system has worked well in the past, the level of service at nine (9) City facilities has declined to an unacceptable level while the hourly cost for contractual services has escalated. The City can save money and improve service by cleaning these additional buildings using City staff instead of cleaning contractors. The buildings targeted are Automotive Services, Animal Control, Helicopter Shop, Mosquito Control, Pendleton Child Services, Police K-9, Police Training Gym, Pungo Police Sub- Station, and the Special Operations and SWAT Trailer. A five year cost analysis was conducted to compare the cost for private contractors with costs for City staff to provide the same services. The analysis projects that the City will save approximately $130,000 over five years by adding staff to provide the services in-house. Considerations: Funds are available in General Services' contractual services budget line item. $116,136 will be transferred to personnel services, supplies, and capital outlay. 3 additional FTE positions will be added to provide the required custodial services. The reduction in contractual services represents approximately 9% of the affected contractor's income from city contracts. The contract contains a clause which gives the City the right to add, delete, or change any item in the agreement with a 15-day notice to the contractor. Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda notification process. Alternatives: Address the unacceptable level of service quality by placing the current contractor in default of the contract with these buildings and find a new contractor to assume cleaning services. This option would replace the failing contractor but not guarantee an increase in service quality. It is unlikely that this would result in a decrease in cost for these facilities. Opt to remove these nine facilities from the contract in order to service them with City Members, requiring the addition of 3 FTEs. This option is clearly allowed in our contract and while still not giving an absolutely guarantee of a higher level of service, it would allow the City to directly control the persons providing the service. It would also provide the City of Virginia Beach with an approximate 20% cost savings over the next five years. Servicing these facilities with City Members provides the best means of solving the problem of service quality while offering the added benefit of cost savings. Recommendations: Accept the second alternative and approve the transfer of $116,136 and add three permanent full time positions as follows: 2 Custodial Worker II (Night) positions - salary & fringes I Custodial Worker I (Day) position - salary & fringes Temporary Labor Equipment & Supplies Capital Outlay - Ford Ranger Pickup w/Camper Shell Attachments: $49,590 $21,67O $ 8,934 $22,957 $12,985 A brief proposal outlining the major issues involved as well as the cost comparison over a 5-year period.

That existing appropriations of $116,136 within the FY 2002-2003 Operating Budget of the Department of General Services are hereby transferred to fund the additional three positions and related costs of providing custodial services for the above referenced facilities.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM TO: FROM: ITEM: The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council James K. Spore A Resolution Requesting the Voters of Virginia Beach to Vote Affirmatively on the November Referendum Questions Concerning the Issuance of General Obligation Bonds of the Commonwealth of Virginia to Fund the Construction of Educational Facilities and Parks and Recreational Facilities MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: The General Assembly has approved legislation in the 2002 Session authorizing two referendum questions concerning the issuance of general obligation bonds of the Commonwealth to be submitted to the voters in the November election. One such question concems the issuance of bonds in the maximum amount of approximately $900 million for educational facilities. The facilities to be improved in Hampton Roads would include the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, and Tidewater Community College. The other referendum question concerns the issuance of bonds in the maximum amount of approximately $119 million for parks and recreational facilities. The facilities to be improved in Virginia Beach would be First Landing State park and False Cape State Park. An affirmative vote in both of the referenda would not increase tax rates for the Commonwealth citizens, nor would the sale of these bonds affect local debt ratings. The Commonwealth Debt Advisory Council has advised that the State would likely retain its Triple-A Bond rating even after the sale. Considerations: Due to the State's current financial situation, "Pay-as-you-go" funds are not available to provide for the facilities and improvements envisioned in the bond referenda questions. Furthermore, the State has historically used debt as a way to provide the for construction of capital projects, such as universities and parks. Passage of the referendum will allow these important projects to move forward and improve the quality of life for all Virginians as well as our competitiveness in the world economy. Public Information: The resolution be advertised through the usual process. Alternatives: Failure of the referendum would mean that these public facilities may likely not be constructed for many years. Recommendations.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: That the voters are urged to vote "YES" on both of the November 5, 2002 referendum questions concerning the issuance of general obligation bonds of the Commonwealth of Virginia for educational facilities and parks and recreational facilities, respectively. 55 56 Adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, this day of , 2002.

Spore A Resolution Requesting the Voters of Virginia Beach to Vote Affirmatively on the Hampton Roads Transportation Referendum Question Conceming Increasing the Sales and Use Tax by One Percent MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) underwent a multi-year process to develop a fiscally constrained/air quality conforming air plan. This process identified the amount of money that could reasonably be expected by the region from the State and Federal Government. When money had been allocated for various projects, there were six large projects that remained unfunded. Those projects include the Third Crossing of Hampton Roads, Interstate 64 improvements on the Peninsula, an additional Midtown Tunnel, the Southeastem Parkway and Greenbelt, U.S. Route 460 improvements, and money for transit improvements including light-rail and MAGLEV. The MPO recommended to the General Assembly that financing mechanisms be established to fund these projects. The 2002 General Assembly enacted legislation providing for a voter referendum on November 5th election on the question of whether there should be a I percent increase in the sales and use tax (excluding food and non- prescription drugs) imposed in Hampton Roads. The revenues from such increase would be used exclusively for the projects identified above. The total debt may not exceed $5.9 billion, and the increase would be repealed when the projects are paid in full Public Information: City Council has had several briefings on the projects and process, which were televised on Channel 48. There is also a public information campaign underway by an organization created by the Hampton Roads Planning Partnership to inform the public on the need for the passage of this tax referendum. Alternatives: Failure of the referendum would mean that no funding is available for any of the six projects. This would provide an unacceptable traffic congestion but more importantly, detrimental air quality impacts. The region will likely go into non-conformity with the air quality requirements from the Federal Government that will require motorists to have their vehicles inspected for emissions and pay as much as $450 for repairs. The quality of life, and the timely movement of people, goods, and services would suffer in the region. Military preparedness, hurricane evacuation, and other emergency evacuation efforts would also be hindered greatly. Recommendations: Recommend the attached resolution urging the voters to participate in the November 5, 2002, election and to vote "YES" on the sales tax referendum be adopted.

Spore, City Manager Mark and Leslie Rosenstock (Stuart Duffen, AIA), Change in a Non- Conforming Use MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: Application of Mark and Leslie Rosenstock for an enlargement in a nonconforming use on the east side of Beech Street, 369.33 feet south of Admiral Drive. Said parcel contains 6,900 square feet. DISTRICT 5 - LYNNHAVEN. Considerations: The Cape Story by the Sea and Cape Henry Shores neighborhoods were rezoned on October 11, 1965 from R-D2 Residence Duplex District to R-S4 Residence Suburban District. That rezoning request was brought forward by some of the residents of these neighborhoods concerned with the construction of duplexes on the relatively small lots (6,900 square feet) typical in these areas. When this change of zoning was approved, the existing duplexes became nonconforming. The duplex on the subject site was constructed in 1950 before the City Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Therefore, the duplex is considered nonconforming. The applicant proposes to add 218 square feet to the back unit of an existing nonconforming duplex. The one-story building is currently 1,530 square feet or 765 square feet for each unit. The duplex is nonconforming because it is located in the R-7.5 Residential District, which does not allow duplexes. The applicant is requesting to enlarge only one of the units. The relatively small expansion will not overpower the site or have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood. In addition to upgrading the interior and providing more living space for one of the units, the exterior will be improved with new landscaping. Recommendations: Pursuant to Section 105(e) of the City Zoning Ordinance, a nonconforming structure may be enlarged only if the City Council finds that the proposed structure, as enlarged, will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity." Staff concludes that this proposed enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will be as appropriate to the district as the existing non-conforming use.

The applicant proposes to add 218 square feet to the back unit of an existing nonconforming duplex. The one-story building is currently 1,530 square feet or 765 square feet for each unit. The duplex is nonconforming because it is located in the R-7.5 Residential District, which does not allow duplexes. Non-Conforming Use ~ MARK & LESLIE ROSENSTOCK (STUART DUFFEN, AIA) August 27, 2002 Page 1 Major Issues: Ensuring that the proposed addition and alteration to the nonconforming duplex structure is no more detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood and is as appropriate to the district as the existing structure. Land Use, Zoning, and Site Characteristics: Existinq Land Use and Zoninq This property is developed with a one-story residential duplex structure. The site is zoned R-7.5 Residential District. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Cape Story by the Sea is a predominately single-family residential neighborhood with duplexes scattered throughout. The subject site and all surrounding properties are zoned R-7.5 Residential District with Shore Drive Overlay. Zonin,q History The Cape Story by the Sea and Cape Henry Shores neighborhoods were rezoned on October 11, 1965 from R-D2 Residence Duplex District to R-S4 Residence Suburban District. That rezoning request was brought forward by some of the residents of these neighborhoods concerned with the construction of duplexes on the relatively small lots (6,900 square feet) typical in these areas. When this change of zoning was approved, the existing duplexes became nonconforming. The duplex on the subject site was constructed in 1950 before the City Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Therefore, the duplex is considered nonconforming. Although all are not pictured on the attached Zoning History Map, at least three other similar requests to enlarge nonconforming duplexes have been approved in these neighborhoods. Just a few months ago on May 28, 2002, a duplex at 2254 Maple Street north of the subject site was approved for a second story addition to one of the units. The property at 2214 Bayberry Street, which is east of the subject site, was approved for an enlargement April 14, 1998. Lastly, the property at 2221 Oak Street, which is shown on the Zoning History map just east of the subject site, was approved for an enlargement in 1993. Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) The site is in an AICUZ area of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. Natural Resource and Physical Characteristic.~ The property has an existing pine tree in the front and an existing live oak tree towards the back on the southern side. These trees will remain. The remaining landscaping on the property will be removed and replaced with new landscaping. Public Facilities and Services Water and Sewer Water: There is a six-inch water main in Beech Street fronting the Non-Conforming Use ~ MARK & LESLIE ROSENSTOCK (STUART DUFFEN, AIA) August 27, 2002 Page 2 Sewer: property. This duplex site has two existing 5/8-inch meters that may be used. There is an eight-inch sanitary sewer main in Beech Street fronting the property. The site is already connected to City sewer. Transportation Master Transportation Plan (MTP) / Capital Improvement Program (CIP): Shore Drive in the vicinity of this application is a major four lane urban arterial. The MTP designates this roadway as a 150 foot divided right-of-way with a bikeway. No improvements are scheduled for this portion of Shore Drive in the current adopted CIP. Beech Street is a two lane local street and is not designated on the MTP. Traffic Calculations: Strcct Name Present Present Capacity Generated Traffic Volume Shore Drive 10,808 17,300 ADT (Level of ADT; Service "C"/ Existing: 12 ADT Beech Street Not Proposed: no change available 6,200 ADT Averac~e Daily Tri~s Public Safety Police: Fire and Rescue: No comments. Building permits must be obtained for all construction related to this project. All fire protection requirements will be ascertained during the building permit review process. A Certificate of Occupancy must be obtained prior to occupancy. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as Medium and High Density Suburban Residential, with residential uses above 3.5 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan and Shore Drive Corridor Plan recognize this corridor as a resort gateway community. Both plans also recognize the diversity of residential uses that exist in this area, most of which resulted from the diverse needs and desires of the community. The proposed improvements are consistent with the community design and aesthetic goals established in this area of the Shore Drive Overlay District. Summary of Proposal The existing duplex is a 1,530 square foot one story brick structure with a hip roof covered in asphalt shingles. The structure is divided so that equal sized 765 square foot units are located at the front and back of the building. The applicant proposes to add 218 square feet to the back unit of the duplex. The additional space will allow for an extensive interior remodel of the back unit. The remodel will accommodate the property owners' physically disabled Non-Conforming Use ~ MARK & LESLIE ROSENSTOCK (STUART DUFFEN, AIA) August 27, 2002 Page 3 adult son who will live here as independently as possible. The front unit will remain unchanged. The proposed structure meets all setbacks for the R-7.5 Residential District. The existing parking area will be redefined with concrete or paver block to accommodate parking for four vehicles. The Traffic Engineering Division of Public Works notes that in accordance with Public Works standards for driveways of duplexes, the driveway apron for the parking area must not exceed 36 feet in width in the public right-of-way. The applicant has also submitted a detailed landscape plan for the entire property. The landscaping will upgrade the appearance of the site significantly. Evaluation of Request This request to enlarge an existing duplex dwelling is acceptable. Cape Story by the Sea is predominately a single-family residential neighborhood with duplexes scattered throughout. The duplex units add variety and do not appear to detract from the neighborhood. The applicant is requesting to enlarge only one of the units. The relatively small expansion will not overpower the site or have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood. In addition to upgrading the interior and providing more living space for one of the units, the exterior will be improved with new landscaping. Pursuant to Section 105(e) of the City Zoning Ordinance, a nonconforming structure may be enlarged only if the City Council finds that the proposed structure, as enlarged, will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity." Staff concludes that this proposed enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will be as appropriate to the district as the existing non- conforming use. The request, therefore, is recommended for approval, subject to the conditions below. Conditions The addition shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan and elevations entitled, "Remodel Rosenstock Duplex" dated August 1,2002 by Stuart N. Duffen, ^IA, Inc. Said plans are on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning Department. The total width of the driveway shall not exceed 36 feet at the right-of-way. The width may be continuous or divided into two sections. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the .. administration of applicable City Ordinances.

Five of the original lots platted along Joseph Place are undeveloped. The applicant wants to develop five new single-family homes on the existing undeveloped platted lots. The street closure is being requested so that the applicant can create a cul-de-sac to serve these new homes instead of using the through street as originally platted. Barbara Duke Land Use, Zoning, and Site Characteristics: Existing Land Use and Zoning The portion of Joseph Place requested for closure is currently an undeveloped paper street. The lots on this prtion of Joseph Place are zoned R-7.5 Residential District. All of the lots platted in Map Book 40, Page 4 exceed the minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The only lots that are developed along this street are the two comer lots that also front on Wolfsnare Road and the two comer lots that also front on Mabel Lane. The portion of the Joseph Place right-of-way ? .~-~ . ...... . intersecting with Mabel Lane has been "improved" as described below. The Portion intersecting with Wolfsnare Road is not improved and is being used as yard by the homes that front on Wolfsnare Road. The applicant owns and desires to develop the five remaining lots fronting on Joseph Place with single-family homes. To serve these new homes, a mad construction plan showing that Joseph Place will be constructed as a through street as originally platted was recently approved by the Development Services Center under DSC File #J06519. The approved construction plan shows that there are several exiSting structures, including a driveway and fence belonging to the resident at 1801 Wolfsnare Road, encroaching into the platted right-of-way for Joseph Place on the north side near the intersection of Wolfsnare Road. There are also several mature trees in this same area. Planning Commission Agenda July 10, 2002 ~;~" "?~ DAKOTA ASSOCIATES LLC/# 6 '-~ ....... Page 2 On the south side of the platted right-of-way for Joseph Place, there appears to be what is a paved, shared driveway for the two residences at the southeast and southwest corners at the intersection with Mabel Lane. The applicant has met with the residents at the comers of both Wolfsnare Road and Mabel Lane to explain the impact of the read construction. Whether the road is built as a through street or a cul-de-sac, the existing mature trees on the north side near the intersection of Wolfsnare Road will be removed and the encroaching fence, driveway, etc. at 1801 Wolfsnare Road will also need to be removed from the right-of-way and relocated. The applicant understands that if this street closure is approved, a revision to the construction plan is necessary to build a cul- de-sac instead of the through street.

Wendy Roenker: Good afternoon Mr. Chairman. Commissioners. My name is Wendy Roenker. I'm with the law firm of West, Stuponvich and Fornier. We're here representing the applicant Dakota Associates on this street closure. We're here to answer any questions you may have. Ronald Ripley: Do the Commissioners have any questions of her at this point? If you want to present what you're proposing to do, it would be a good idea to do it at this point. Wendy Roenker: Sure. Ronald Ripley: Because we do have opposition, at least that's what we understand. Wendy Roenker: Okay. Dakota Associates proposes to close a portion of Joseph Street, which currently is listed as a through street on plats. And they proposed to close a portion of it and terminate it into a cul-de-sac on Joseph Street. They have acquired the consent of all the surrounding property owners of their five lots. When they close the street, they will keep the same number of lots that they currently have as five. Robert Vakos: Locked in. I'm sorry. Wendy Roenker: That's okay. Ronald Ripley: We apologize for this. Wendy Roenker: Okay. Did we all get it? We want to make the cul-de-sac. Joseph Street - Joseph Place is currently a through street. They want to terminate and close the diagonally drawn portions and make it a cul-de-sac so that there wilt be a court separating the two different neighborhoods there. Ronald Ripley: Okay. From what we understand that you have a site design, you have an approved plan right now to develop the whole street at this point. Wendy Roenker: Yes. Item #6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 2 Ronald Ripley: Essentially, you'd like to do the cul-de-sac and shorten the street... Wendy Roenker: Yes. Ronald Ripley: And still have the same number of units. Wendy Roenker: Yes. Ronald Ripley: Not increasing the other units? Wendy Roenker: No. Not increasing the other units. Ronald Ripley: That's our understanding. Okay. Any questions? Could we hear from the opposition then? Could you please call? Robert Miller: Patrick Beck. Patrick Beck: I'm going to let Mr. Caton go first if you don't mind? Robert Miller: James Caton. James Caton: I'm James C. Caton. I have lived on the comer of Wolfsnare and Gloria Place for the last 35 years. I'm an original property owner in what we called the "New Hilltop Section". I'm not opposed to the development of the property. As a matter of fact, I was looking forward to it. But I was looking forward to Joseph Place being opened all the way through. And that's my concern. In the 35 years that I've lived there, I've seen a lot of changes in the Hilltop area. The number one being Hilltop itself is grid locked most of the day now. And people trying to avoid this gridlock come down Wolfsnare Road and cut through Hilltop Manor. They usually jump on Gloria Place, which I live on the comer. And it's a tremendous amount of traffic going through there. And when I saw this and that they were planning on closing Joseph Place, I was looking for some relief with that traffic. I think it would help in the neighborhood because it is a safety thing. And I asked the question - well one thing, I count six lots there that are undeveloped. I don't know where the five comes from. But who benefits from this by closing Joseph Place other than keeping the traffic from the old part of Hilltop Manor from using Joseph Place as an access to Wolfsnare, which would relieve some of the congestion on Gloria. I don't know if there been any traffic studies done in that area recently but I haven't seen it. It's very noticeable and if the only benefit is to cut off the traffic from the other neighbors using that cul-de-sac, then I am definitely opposed to it. I have no opposition to the homes going in there. It definitely increases my property value so I shouldn't complain. But I think it is a traffic issue and I think it should be addressed before we close this street. I think it needs to be opened. Thank you sir. Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much. Item 4/6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 3 Robert Miller: Mr. Caton? James Caton: Yes. Robert Miller: Can you show us, as you said you lived at the comer of Gloria. Can you show us which house it is please? James Caton: This one. Robert Miller: Okay. James Caton: This lot here is the sixth lot. It belongs to the people that live here. They use it for a yard now but it is an undeveloped lot. Robert Miller: Next speaker is Patrick Beck. Patrick Beck: I'm Patrick Beck. I'm a little nervous. Ronald Ripley: Don't be nervous. Patrick Beck: Thank you. Ronald Ripley: Just relax. Patrick Beck: I go along wholeheartedly on what Mr. Caton said. I live on Gloria Place also, three houses down. I'm here. I'd back up to the new homes that are coming. I don't mind homes. Because it will probably increase my property value but I am curious on why they are closing that. And I'm wondering are they trying to block off the lesser- priced homes from where they are, if that's their main reason they are here. These are the homes that are already there. They are lesser priced and we would like to see it open so that more traffic can go through it. Thank you. Ronald Ripley: Any questions of Mr. Beck? Thank you Mr. Beck. Would you like to readdress us? Wendy Roenker: I have with me Mr. Gil Holt, a representative of Dakota Associates. Gil Holt: We come here also this afternoon on behalf of the applicant. The proposal in front of you to shorten Joseph Street or close that portion, we do have signed copies. Do you all have a copy of those by any chance in your packets? I'll pass those out if you don't. These are the signed letters by the four people on live the comer. Robert Miller: Just hand us the whole list. Item #6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 4 Gil Holt: They're on the last page of the exhibit. We have so noted the ownership. And the gentleman is correct. There are six lots. It would be six lots on Joseph Place. But that sixth lot, which is, number five, is not buildable in its existing condition. The gentlemen on the comer, he owns a portion of that, and 15-feet of that is owned by Lot 7, which is Dakota Associates. Dakota Associates owns lots 7, 9, 3, 4 & 5. The attempt here - we have contacted and sPOke with and these are the signed copies. All four- property owners - these two people are pretty adamant that they would like to see the street closed. They use this portion. It's kind of their basket court, additional driveway and things in that nature. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Holt? Gil Holt: Yes. Ronald Ripley: You ought to stand near the microphone. Gil Holt: I'm sorry. We feel like that at the end of the day we have five homes on a court. It reduces the maintenance that would be required by the City by 40-45 percent. Instead of having 200 feet of street you'll have approximately 120 feet of street. And everyone that lives on Joseph Place in or owns property on Joseph Place supports the application. Ronald Ripley: Any questions of the applicant? Bob? Robert Vakos: I have a question for Mr. Scott if I could. Mr. Scott, you're one of the viewers on this. Robert Scott: Yes. Robert Vakos: Did you take into consideration the comments from the opposition on this? Robert Scott: Yes. When I first saw this application I had a lot of doubts about it. I've come around and change my mind after having to go out and look at it. I noticed that the area in question, if you look at it from Mabel Lane is somewhat heavily treed. I think this method of developing the property would minimize the amount of clearings that you would have to do in there. I'm aware of a fair degree of traffic on Wolfsnare Road. I have to admit I've probably been cutting through there once or twice myself. But Mabel Lane, as far as I know is largely local traffic that serves the needs of the residents in that particular neighborhood. And maybe I'm wrong about that but that's the impression I had. That's what Mabel Lane is. It's not possible to drive down Joseph Place today. There is no street there except for the little nub of a street off of Mabel Lane. The rest of it is unimproved. So, whatever situation exists today as regards to general circulation pattern is going to be the pattern in the future as well. There'll be no change. It just looked to us like so long as most of the residents along that street have no objection to it, Item #6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 5 it will reduce the amount of clearance of cutting down trees. And it will not have an effect, positive or negative of the traffic pattern in the area. It will keep the traffic pattern basically the same as it is now except there will be five more houses on Joseph Place. So, it looked to us as if the negative effects really aren't there. If this were built - these five houses were built with Joseph Place going through, you would have to clear out the whole street all the way through and you would have another driveway or another road to connect Wolfsnare to Mabel Lane but it didn't appear to us like with all the other streets you had connecting already that there was a particular need to have yet one more. And that there is a significant amount of cut through traffic on Wolfsnare Road and that pretty much is going to stay the way it is. This application is going to have neither a positive nor negative effect on that factor, so all those things considered, our recommendation would be to approve it. And the biggest piece of weight I guess, would be the fact that most of the property owners along that street seem to be in accord with that idea. John Baum: Well, I guess the other thing is that there is only a remote chance that the City has any plans whatever to open that street anyhow. · Robert Scott: Right. We have what we call an "unimproved street policy" and we would actually call on these property owners to participate in the cost of making that street connection which I doubt they'd be willing to do. So, it's probably never going to get connected. Ronald Ripley: Any other questions? Okay. Thank you all very much. Mr. Caton, do you have new information? Mr. Miller sponsored you. James Caton: I agree with Mr. Scott. Wolfsnare Road is real bad. But my concern is Gloria Place. That's the first street to the left when you come off First Colonial. And people take that to Mabel and Dog Leg out to Laskin Road right beside the Saturn Dealer. And during peak hours there's a tremendous amount of traffic through there. It's not local traffic and that' s why I questioned whether there has been a traffic study done. I don't know. But it's approaching a dangerous situation. And the addresses of the people who live on the four comers are Wolfsnare Road and Mabel Lane. No one lives on Joseph Place at the time. Ronald Ripley: I think we have a couple of questions. Dorothy Wood: My parents used to live at First Colonial Inn and I thought I was the only one who knew that Gloria Road short cut. So, I do know that people do use it. I use to come up Wolfsnare, down. Ronald Ripley: Was that a question? Dorothy Wood: I agree with him. People do use that. Ronald Ripley: Betsy? Item//6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 6 Betsy Atkinson: Mr. Scott, is there a way that the City police could post signs along there that says this is no cut thru, no thru way. And then have the police out there periodically to stop people that are... Robert Scott: It may be troublesome but it's not illegal to drive down a City street. There's no breaking of the law. Betsy Atkinson: I've seen those signs before, you know, it says there's no cut thru here. James Caton: I use it all the time and I'll do anything to avoid that traffic made at Hilltop. Betsy Atkinson: I'm trying to help you. James Caton: It's true. It's a bad situation. Any relief would help. I mean, if it would benefit somebody other than just the five people that are going to live on that street, I wouldn't have a word to say but there's hundred of people that live in Hilltop Manor that would probably use that street if it was open. I've been looking forward to it being open for over 35 years. That's the only wood lot left in that section of Virginia Beach and you're right, there are some beautiful pine -- beautiful Oak trees. I've been living in the shade for a long time and I hate to see them go but it is private property and I think that the developer has the right to build on them what he wants. I don't see wl~ere it would hurt him to build those houses on a through street rather than a cul-de-sac. And if he's going to open a cul-de-sac you got to add the feet of that radius to that short section of that street they're closing. I don't see any benefit from anybody. And as far as City services, we haven't had a street cleaner in Hilltop Manor in 10 years. I don't know what the City does that would save them money by closing this street off. Thank you for listening to me. Ronald Ripley: Thank you Mr. Caton. Is there any further discussion that you all would like to have on this? Robert Miller: I think I understand Mr. Caton's point of view and Mr. Beck's point of view. But if Joseph Place were to open there's no guarantee that people would cut through there. I think that the bottom line is that Maze Street is there. Benjamin Street is there. Perhaps, there's some other street further to the west would provide other people ways to cut through there. It's a cow pass system. They're going to find a way through there just as you do and you would like to think that people would take the corridors that we've set up to be major thoroughfares, I would acknowledge to you that on my very rare occasions, I never cut through your Gloria Place. But, First Colonial does set you on the spin and hopefully the improvements for Laskin Road and First Colonial which will be done, I'm sure real soon, and it will have some positive effect on that intersection and help a little bit. I don't know having Joseph Place open with all do respect will guarantee that people will just start finding a new way through there and I think the request is not an unreasonable one as the viewers have said. Item 4/6 Dakota Associates, LLC Page 7 Donald Horsley: The only comment that I make is based on what Mr. Scott said. It's not likely that's going to occur anyway. Ronald Ripley: Does anyone wish to make a motion on this? Robert Miller: Ronald Ripley: I'll make a motion that we approve the application. A motion to approve. Do we have a second?

Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as planned for retail, service, office and other compatible uses within commercial centers serving surrounding neighborhoods and communities. Summary of Proposal Proposal · The applicant is proposing to construct and operate a self-service, automated car wash on the site. Planning Commission Agenda Page 4 The site plan depicts the existing 86 feet by 33 feet fuel canopy with five (5) fuel dispensers on the property as well as the existing kiosk. These will remain on the site. The plan also shows the proposed car wash facility on the southeast comer of the property. A small mechanical room (10 feet by 12 feet) is depicted on the west side of the car wash. The access to the car wash will be along the southern property line while exiting vehicles will be directed to the eastem property line. Both the entrance and the exit will be well away from the traffic maneuvering to and from the gas pumps. A variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals must be obtained to allow for a reduced setback of approximately 27 feet between the car wash building and the nearest gas pump instead of 55 feet as required. .Vehicular and Pedestrian Access The distance from the edge of the curb nearest the car wash to the edge of the fueling canopy is approximately 14 feet. Two-way traffic will be impossible at this location when a car is parked under the canopy for fueling. Both pedestrian and vehicular access is adequate, other than what is noted above. One (1) of the two (2) existing ingress/egress points off of First Colonial Road is slated for removal. One (1) of the two (2) existing ingress/egress points off of Laskin Road will also be removed. With the elimination of these access points, the safety of both pedestrians and those attempting to enter and exit the site in a vehicle is greatly improved. Architectural Desi,qn · The proposed car wash structure will be constructed of masonry block units painted beige to match the existing kiosk on the Site. Planning Commission Agenda July 10, 2002 CHARLES T. DEARY, FLOYD T. DEARY, IRVING N. DEARY / # 7 Page 5 Landscape and Open Space Desiqn Currently, the site is devoid of any streetscape or interior landscaping. The submitted plan depicts eight (8) crape myrtles to be installed along First Colonial Road and four (4) Ioblolly pines and understory shrubs to be planted along Laskin Road. Additional landscaping is proposed at both the southeast and southwest comers of the property and adjacent to the queue for the car wash, south of the parking spaces. Category I landscaping is depicted along the east side of the proposed car wash building to aid in screening the structure. Evaluation of Request Staff is supportive of the application to construct a car wash facility and a small mechanical room on the southeast comer of the property subject to the conditions listed below. There are several aspects of the proposal that will markedly improve the aesthetics and increase the safety of ingress and egress to the property. Currently, the site is devoid of any streetscape or interior landscaping. The submitted plan depicts eight (8) crape myrtles to be installed along First Colonial Road and four (4) Ioblolly pines and understory shrubs to be planted along Laskin Road. Additional landscaping is proposed at both the southeast and southwest comers of the property and adjacent to the queue for the car wash, south of the parking spaces and along the eastem fagade of the proposed structure. In addition, consistent with all applications that are heard that involve existing nonconforming signage, staff is recommending that the nonconforming sign be removed. Any new signage must comply with current standards set forth in the City Zoning Ordinance. It should be noted that a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) must be obtained to allow for a reduced setback of approximately 27 feet between the car wash building and the nearest gas pump instead of 55 feet as required. The distance from the edge of the curb nearest the car wash to the edge of the fueling canopy is approximately 14 feet. A parked car under the canopy will prohibit two-way traffic at this location. If the BZA variance is not granted, this use permit will become void as the proposed arrangement of structures as shown on the site plan will not be possible. Ultimately, when the Virginia Department of Transportation constructs the proposed improvements along the rights-of-way, vehicular maneuverability within the site will Planning Commission Agenda July 10, 2002 CHARLES T. DEARY, FLOYD T. DEARY, IRVING N. DEARY / # 7 Page 6 become even more constrained, likely forcing the owner to make-modifications to the site, particularly in regard to the orientation of the canopy over the gas pumps. Other than the circulation issue identified above, vehicular safety should be enhanced for vehicles entedng and exiting the site due to the removal of the two (2) existing ingress and egress points closest to the Laskin Road and First Colonial Road intersection. This modification will reduce the possible points of conflict as one travels east on the Laskin Road feeder road and north on First Colonial Road. Staff recommends approval of this Conditional Use Permit for a car wash facility subject to the conditions below.

It is located at 1689 Laskin Road. It is District 5, Lynnhaven. Is there any opposition to this Consent agenda item? If not. Ronald Ripley: The comment that we would make is that this - we were ready to pass this matter last month but then we ran into a logistical problem as to when the site improvements would be put in and we deferred it.

Spore, City Manager RPA Salem Lynnhaven, LLC - Change of Zoning MEETING DATE: August 27, 2002 Background: An Ordinance upon Application of RPA Salem Lynnhaven, LLC, for a Chan.qe of Zonina District Classification from R-5D Residential Duplex District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District on the east side of Salem Road, 200 feet more or less north of Lynnhaven Parkway (GPIN #1475-85-4909). The proposed zoning classification change to Conditional B- 2 is for commercial land use. The Comprehensive Plan recommends use of this parcel for retail, service, office and other compatible uses within commercial centers in accordance with other Plan policies. Said parcel contains 28,677.72 square feet. DISTRICT 1 CENTERVILLE. Considerations: The subject property will be combined with the property to the south, at the comer of Salem Road and Lynnhaven Parkway. The corner parcel was previously rezoned for the development of a 7-11 convenience store with gas pumps. During the, subsequent detailed site plan review for the 7-11 convenience store, the developer of the site requested permission to install a stormwater management facility and access road on what was then a City-owned parcel. Discussions ensued, and it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the developer to purchase the City-owned parcel from the City and combine it with the comer lot to allow multiple uses on the combined parcel consistent _with the proffered rezoning. The developer purchased the property from the City in the spring of 2002. The developer is now requesting that the property be rezoned to Conditional B-2 so that it can be combined with the corner parcel and developed as part of the 7-11 convenience store site. The property now being requested for rezoning will be used for an access drive and a stormwater management facility for the 7-11 site.

The corner parcel was previously rezoned for the development of a 7- 11 convenience store with gas pumps. The property now being requested for rezoning will be used for an access drive and a stormwater management facility for the 7-11 site. Planning Commission Agenda August 14, 2002 RPA SALEM LYNNHAVEN, LLC / # 3 Page I Major Issues: · Degree to which the rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for this area. Land Use, Zoning, and Site Characteristics: Existing Land Use and Zoninq The property is currently zoned R-5D Residential District and is vacant. Surrounding Land Use and Zoninq North: South: East: West: · Salem Crossing shopping center / Conditional B-2 Community Business District · Proposed 7-11 convenience store and gas pumps / Conditional B-2 Community Business District · Salem Crossing shopping center/Conditional B-2 Community Business District · Across Salem Road from the site there is a condominium development / A-12 Apartment District with PDH-2 Planned Development Overlay Zoninq and Land Use Statistics With Existing Zoning: With Proposed Zoning: This property contains sufficient lot area to be subdivided into two duplex sites, a total of four residential units. The property will be combined with property to the south to create one lot that will be developed as a 7-11 convenience store with gas pumps. The subject site will contain the access ddve and thestormwater management facility. Zoninq History In July 1998, the property to the south of the subject site was rezoned from R-5D Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District for the development of a Walgreens drug store at the corner of Salem Road and Lynnhaven Parkway and the development of Salem Shops on the remainder of the parcel to the east, fronting on Lynnhaven Parkway. In September 2001, the proffers associated with that rezoning were modified to allow a 7-11 convenience store with gas pumps to be developed on the corner parcel in lieu of the Walgreens drug store. A conditional use permit for the gas pumps was simultaneously approved in September 2001. At the time of the original rezoning in 1998 and the modification of proffers in 2001, the property to the north, the subject property under consideration with this request, was owned by the City of Virginia Beach. In both the 1998 proffers and the 2001 proffers, the Walgreens and the 7-11 were restricted from direct access to Salem Road due to traffic concerns, and the access was shown farther north, through the subject parcel Planning Commission Agenda August 14, 2002 RPA SALEM LYNNHAVEN, LLC ! # 3 Page 2 then owned by the City of Virginia Beach. At that time, the discussion regarding use of the City property for access assumed the applicant's use of the property would occur under an encroachment agreement with the City. During the subsequent detailed site plan review for the 7-11 convenience store, the developer of the site requested permission to allow a stormwater management facility to be installed on the City-owned parcel in addition to the access road. It was then determined that it would be in the best interest of the developer to purchase the City- owned parcel from the City and combine it with the corner lot to allow multiple uses on the combined parcel consistent with the proffered rezoning. The developer purchased the property from the City in the spring of 2002. The developer is now requesting that the property be rezoned to Conditional B-2 so that it can be combined with the comer parcel and developed as part of the 7-11 convenience store site. The only modification to the originally approved site plan under the conditional use permit for the gas pumps of September 2001 is the relocation of the stormwater management facility to the northern (subject) parcel instead of along the Lynnhaven Parkway frontage. This change is not considered to be substantial enough to require a modification to the conditions of the original use permit; therefore, no request to modify the conditions of the use permit has been applied for. The new location of the stormwater management facility is an improvement over the original design in terms of water quality benefits as well as aesthetics. Additional landscaping around the pond's edge as well as along Salem Road, in front of the pond, is provided on the site plan. Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) The site is in an AICUZ area of 65 to 70dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. Natural Resource and Physical Characteristics The site is a grassy level area with some scattered trees. Public Facilities and Services Water and Sewer ,~ This site will be combined with the corner parcel. A water meter and a sewer connection have been provided for the comer parcel by the developer of the adjacent Salem Shops center. Transportation Master Transportation Plan (MTP) / Capital Improvement Program (CIP): Lynnhaven Parkway in the vicinity of this application is considered a four (4) lane divided major suburban arterial. There is currently no project to upgrade this facility in the CIP. Salem Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a six (6) lane major suburban arterial. There is currently no project to upgrade this portion of Salem Road in the CIP. Traffic Calculations: Street Name Present Present Generated Traffic Volume Capacity Lynnhaven Parkway 30,000 Under the existing zoning (R- ADT 32,500 ADT 5D), the site could generate at least 40 ADT. Under this Planning Commission Agenda August 14, 2002 RPA SALEM LYNNHAVEN, LLC / # 3 Page 3 rezoning proposal, the potential for those trips will be eliminated. Proposed Land Use 2.6,500 ADT Salem Road 27,000 ADT 49,300 ADT Average Daily Trips as defined by the subject pamel combined with the parcel to the south, previously granted a conditional use permit for a convenience store with gas pumps Schools There will be a limited impact on schools as a result of this rezoning request due to the loss of the 4 potential dwelling units. Public Safety Police: Fire and Rescue: No comment. There is no negative impact on fire and rescue services. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan recommends that for those areas of the Kempsville Planning Area yet to be developed, we must establish and adhere to high standards of appearance and function. The combination of this pamel with the one to the south, which is regulated in respect to appearance and function through the granted conditional use permit and the proffers provided with the rezoning, assures that this recommendation is met. Summary of Proposal Proposal · The subject property will be combined with the property to the south, at the corner of Salem Road and Lynnhaven Parkway. The comer parcel is being developed as a 7- 11 convenience store with gas pumps. The subject property will be used as for an access drive and will contain the stormwater management facility for the 7-11 site. Site Desiqn ° The proposed site plan shows an access drive crossing the site. A dry detention pond is proposed between the access drive and Salem Road. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access · There will be a right turn lane provided on Salem Road at the entrance to the access road. The site plan shows a right-of-way dedication for the area of the right turn lane. The access road will serve a 7-11 convenience store with gas pumps as an entrance and exit. The access road is 35 feet wide. The access road will be one of two entrance/exit points for the 7-11 convenience store and gas pumps. The other access point is on Lynnhaven Parkway. Planning Commission Agenda ~~ August 14, 2002~.~ RPA SALEM LYNNHAVEN, LLC / # 3 Page 4 · The access roadway is also connected to the adjoining shops, providing a Salem Road access for those shops should this request be approved. i Landscape and Open Space · A landscape plan has been submitted showing deciduous trees along Salem Road as well as a mixture of Iow growing evergreen shrubs and flowering shrubs in groupings around the edge of the dry pond. · The landscape plan also shows six large trees to be planted along the access road.

The proposed zoning classification change to A-18 with a PD-H2 Overlay and a Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District is for multifamily land use at a density no greater than 18 units to the acre. The Comprehensive Plan recommends use of this parcel for residential uses at medium and high densities that are compatible with single family, townhouse and multifamilY use in accordance with other Plan policies. Said parcel contains 1 acre. DISTRICT 4 - BAYSIDE. Considerations: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from A-12 and A-18 Apartment Districts with SD Shore Drive Overlay to A-18 Apartment District with a PD-H2 Planned Development Overlay and SD Shore Drive Overlay for the purpose of allowing the development of single- family condominium units. The A-12 and A-18 Apartment Districts do not permit single-family dwellings. However, the use of the PD-H2 District as an overlay to the A-18 Apartment District allows the applicant to specify the types of dwelling units for the development. In this case, the dwelling types will be single-family dwellings in a condominium form of ownership. Use of the PD-H2 District also allows for the applicant to specify setbacks, height, and other requirements that supplements and supercedes in some cases the underlying A-18 zoning. The result is a development type that is better-suited to the surrounding area and more consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for the Shore Drive and Pleasure House Road areas. Recommendations: A motion was passed by the Planning Commission by a recorded vote of 9-1 to approve this request subject to the submitted PD-H2 Land Use Plan outlined below with the addition of conditions regarding siding material and column size as recommended by staff: Attachments: Staff Review Planning Commission Minutes Disclosure Statement Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 DANNY MARTIN I # 3 Page 3 Comprehensive Plan The Bayfront Planning Area land use policies support well-planned and designed residential development proposals that promote economic vitality, community aesthetics and enhanced quality of life. The subject site is located in the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District and development of the site should meet the objectives of the draft Shore Drive Design Guidelines. These guidelines do not attempt to dictate a particular architectural style, but are provided in order to: Encourage development consistent with the community's goals that will achieve the physical characteristics necessary to enhance the economic vitality and visual aesthetics of the Shore Drive corridor; Ensure that the scale and context of new buildings are compatible with the desired character of the community, while encouraging existing buildings to upgrade to meet the higher standards of design; and · Ensure that development relates to the pedestrian as well as to the automobile, and that non-residential uses are compatible with adjacent residential areas. Summary of Proposal Proposal · The applicant is proposing to develop a 13 unit single family condominium complex on this one acre site. This represents a decrease in the overall site density of three units. The subject site is encumbered with a 25 foot wide City easement. This easement is not in use by the City and the applicant has petitioned the City for the sale of easement as excess property. City Council must approve the sale of the easement in order for this project to be developed. The request for the sale of excess property will be heard and acted on by City Council prior to the rezoning request. Site Desi.qn · The site layout plan shows that there will be a central 20 foot wide drive aisle that will be used to access the units on either side. There are six units on the north side of the drive aisle and seven units on the south side of the drive aisle. A fifteen foot right of way dedication is shown along the frontage of this site to bring Pleasure House Road up to the minimum 60 foot width for a residential collector. There is a twenty foot setback from the right of way dedication line for the two units adjacent to Pleasure House Road. Effectively, this creates a 35 foot setback from the edge of pavement to the first two units. · The spacing between the buildings on site will vary; the minimum space will be 7 foot in width. · A 10 foot setback from the northern, eastern and southern property lines is shown on the site layout plan. · Underground infiltration is proposed for on-site stormwater management. Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 DANNY MARTIN / # 3 ......... Page 4 Vehicular and Pedestrian Access · The applicant has provided a 15 foot dedication of right of way along Pleasure House Road. Although there are no current plans for upgrade of this roadway, the dedicated area can be used for the future multi-purpose path envisioned by the Virginia Beach ----. Outdoors Plan. A 20 foot wide central ,i , access aisle with a turn around at the eastem terminus is provided. · Each unit will be provided a garage in addition to two parking spaces in the driveway. Architectural Design · The units will be two story. The doorways to the units are angled at 45 degrees to create a distinctive entrance that adds interest to the front and side facades of the building. A small covered entry space supported by columns is provided at each doorway. The buildings have been designed so that the doorways on adjacent buildings alternate sides. The doorways will face each other across a green space between buildings. All units will have a front-loading garage and a room that projects in front of the garage. Using this projection will help to soften the prominence of the garage on the front facade of the building. Beige vinyl shake siding will be used for the front facade. The exterior material for the sides and rear of the building will be beige vinyl siding. It should be noted that the applicant has worked with staff on the design of the units using some of the Shore Drive Guidelines for the buildings, making revisions to the original design to develop the design presented with this report. However, there is one specific design recommendation that the applicant has not incorporated that staff feels is critical to this project meeting the objectives of the Shore Drive Design Guidelines as stated in the Comprehensive Plan section of this report. This recommendation is suggested as a condition of the PD-H Land Use Plan at the end of this report and states: Beige Vinyl Shake Siding shall be used on the front facade and the second stony of the sides and rear of each unit. Beige Vinyl Siding may be used on the first floor around the sides and rear of each unit. A Freize Board of a complementary neutral co/or shall be provided at the horizontal line of the change of material. The sides of units #1 and #2 will be facing Pleasure House Road. A side elevation has been provided that shows that there will be two windows on the upper story and two windows on the first story along the side wall. All four Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 DANNY MARTIN / # 3 Page 5 windows are the same size and the placement of the windows is proportional. The roof variation and the angled doorway add interest to the side fa(;ade facing Pleasure House Road. The roofs of the units will be pitched and the roofline is varied. The roofing material is specified as asphalt shingles. Landscape and Open Space · The applicant is required to provide 15% open space for this development. The site layout plan shows 8,174 square feet, or 18%, open space is being provided in front of the units. Another 13,719 square feet, or 32%, open space is being provided between buildings and within perimeter setbacks. The total open space in the development is 50%. · The open spaces in front of the units will be planted with a mixture of shrubs. Crape Myrtle trees are also specified for these areas. · There is no landscaping proposed along the northern and southem property lines, in back of the units. · A 6 foot high privacy fence is shown surrounding the property on the north, east and south sides. · There is an area at the rear of the site, along the eastern property line, that will be planted with Wax Myrtle shrubs and Live Oak trees. Along the west side, adjacent to Pleasure House Road, the applicant is proposing a 3 foot high white vinyl post and rail fence with Wax Myrtle shrubs and Live Oak trees planted as a landscape buffer/entrance feature. Evaluation of Request The request to rezone the subject property from A-12 and A-18 Apartment District with SD Shore Drive Overlay District to A-18 PD-H2 Planned Development with SD Shore Drive Overlay District is acceptable. The subject property is encumbered by a 25 foot wide City easement that is not in use by the City. The applicant has petitioned the City for the sale of this excess property. City Council must approve the sale of the easement in order for this project to be developed. The request for the sale of excess property will be heard and acted on by City Council prior to the rezoning request. The single family condominium unit proposed by the applicant fits well into the surrounding neighborhood, which is an eclectic mix of duplexes, single family homes, traditional apartment complexes and single family condominiums. The proposed land use plan makes good use of open space in front of and between the units and provides ample parking for the units. The proposed development represents a decrease of three units in density from the existing zoning. The decrease in density and the good design of the land use plan make this proposal more beneficial to the neighborhood than the traditional apartment complex allowed by the existing zoning. The applicant has incorporated some of the Shore Drive Design Guidelines to improve the project. The requested rezoning is recommended for approval subject to the submitted PD-H2 Land Use Plan outlined below with the addition of conditions regarding siding material and column size as recommended by staff: Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 DANNY MARTIN / # 3 Page 6 LAND USE PLAN The property shall be developed substantially in conformance with the site plan titled "Rezoning Exhibit of Martinique Cove", dated February 6, 2002 and prepared by Kellam-Gerwitz Engineering Inc. This site plan has been presented to City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning. In accordance with Section 1124 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the plan "shall serve as a supplement to and, where they conflict, as a replacement for, the zoning regulations of the" A-18 Apartment District. The condominium units shall be developed substantially in conformance with the elevation sketches and materials list dated May 29, 2002. These elevation sketches and materials list have been presented to City Council and are on file in the Department of Planning. The elevations and materials shall be revised as follows: · Doorways must be angled at 45 degrees as provided on the site plan. Vinyl Shake Siding must be used on the front fa(;ade and the second story of the sides and rear of the first three (3) units closest to Pleasure House Road on both the north and the south sides of the development. Vinyl Siding may be used on the first floor around the sides and rear of each unit. A Frieze Board of a complementary neutral color must be provided at the horizontal line of the change of material. · Entryway columns must be at least 10 inches square. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes.

Greenwell Road District 4 Bayside June 12, 2002 REGULAR AGENDA Ronald Ripley: Okay. We're going to go into the regular remaining items on the regular agenda. And the first item that I believe Mr. Miller is going to call is Item #3. Robert Miller: Danny Martin. Eddie Bourdon: That was it? You're not going to read the... Robert Miller: I'm not reading all of that. Eddie Bourdon: For the record, my name is Eddie Bourdon, I'm a Virginia Beach attorney and I'm representing Mr. Martin on this application. Late this morning you were given copies - excuse me, the samples of the building materials for these proposed units. I would note that the vinyl siding that was provided was just a sample of the type of material not the colors, however, the cedar shake vinyl was in fact, the specific type of vinyl and the three specific types of colors for that. I have some pictures - 18 pictures of residential units. Some multi-family, some that require rezoning. Some that did not, in and around Shore Drive that I'm going to pass around. The one that's on top is the Three Ships Landing right on Shore Drive where the sides and the rear do not have vinyl shake but do have the frieze board that separates the two top and bottom floors if you will. That's all vinyl. ~ I'll pass these around. As Barbara explained to you all in the informal this morning, the rezoning here is necessitated by the fact that my client desires to do single family condominiums rather than apartments or multi-family dwelling condos. Since we're not asking for any increase in density or up zoning. We're actually eliminating three units that could be built on the subject property based on the current zonings of those properties. But because the zoning ordinance doesn't allow, in essence a free standing unit in multi-family zoning, we would ask for the PDH overlay, with our own land use plan. Frankly all of- we worked - Dan's worked very diligently with the staff on the plan and the plan as you know, has the recommendation for approval from staff. The only problem we have is the conditions with regard - first of all, there's a misunderstanding with regard to the color. The conditions indicate beige vinyl shake siding and beige was never - I know the color you have may look beige, it's actually called Antique Gray but so that is an aspect of the conditions. It needs to be revised under any circumstances. The second issue we have and the only other issue we have is the request or recommendation from the staff that the vinyl shake siding be placed not Item #3 Danny Martin Page 2 only on the front of each unit, which we have no objection to whatsoever. But also that it be added on the second floor of the sides and the rears of all the buildings. We don't have any objection. My client has no objection to putting the vinyl shake on the side and the rear - sides and rear of the first unit. I if you can put --yeah. You see, the property fronts on Pleasure House Road as you are all aware. And we got apartments that adjoin us over here. You know, this is Pleasure House Road - it's not visible from Shore Drive. We have no problem putting the vinyl shake here and actually we go ahead make it here, but it will silly not do it on the whole building. But on these two buildings that have visibility from Pleasure House Road. The remainder of the buildings, you know, the sides - top half of the sides, top half of the rear, you really have no visibility, and you still have a high quality material. It's material without doing the shake that, you know, throughout this area of the City. And the cost is triple the cost of doing the high quality vinyl that has been proposed. And the objection isn't to the quality of the vinyl, it's the desire to have more shake on the buildings. And I would just suggest that, you know, in situations where there is high visibility that's one thing, but, I give you again that the Three Ships Landing situation where there is high visibility and you know, frankly, I don't think those units are unattractive. And this doesn't have anyway near that type of visibility and to require this additional cost where, again, in our opinion, there isn't a - there's very little to be gained in term of benefit other than cost. This is somewhat a cost sensitive area given the surrounding land uses and we think this is an upgrade to most of those land uses. There are some single families in the area and certainly, they have nice homes. In terms of multi-family land uses, I should be more specific. We think this is, you know, a benefit. And I think and obviously staff would not disagree with that since they're recommending approval of it. That is the only issue that we have with the recommendation. Is that we do the extensive additional cost of putting the vinyl shake siding on the sides and rear, second floor of buildings that really don't have significant visibility. We'd like to see that condition in condition number two changed. Ronald Ripley: Bob, do you have a question? Robert Vakos: Yeah. Eddie, I feel like I need to salute you with that. Every'time I looked up feel like I should stand up and put my hand over my heart but... Eddie Bourdon: Good, I will be here for you then. Robert Vakos: There you go. Do you have a dollar amount on it? I mean I know it's three times per square foot but do you have an estimate as to what... Eddie Bourdon: I'm not sure. Dan, do you have (inaudible) Robert Vakos: Just a ballpark. Danny Martin: 2,500-3,500. Eddie Bourdon: Yeah, that's per square. Item #3 Danny Martin Page 3 Danny Martin: Per square. Eddie Bourdon: Have you done the overall numbers? Danny Martin: Yeah, about 2,700 squares per building. Eddie Bourdon: Alright. Robert Vakos: Just about $9,000? $9,000-$10,000 a building? Eddie Bourdon: That's about... Robert Vakos: Okay. Eddie Bourdon: That sounds about right. Robert Vakos: And, I just want to make a point for the record. I think the reason why the Planning staff and I'm not going to speak for them, but I think from my standpoint on the Commission is that, you know, just last night the Council passed these guidelines for Shore Drive and I think anything before that is really not at rebuttal in my view as to how we look at future applications, but I just wanted to get that for the record. The next question I got is for staff. I guess who worked it, Barbara Duke? Barbara worked on this? They had proposed the two units facing the street frontage as doing the entire upgraded vinyl siding. Is that an acceptable? I mean, maybe Mr. Scott I will ask you that question. I don't know. Is that an acceptable compromise? Robert Scott: I don't think I understand the question. Robert Vakos: Well, Eddie has proposed that the two units that face Pleasure House Road that they would use the upgraded vinyl. If the issue is visibility from the public right-of-way, is that, and I do think that the materials are comparable. I know a little bit about this stuff and I do think the upgraded one will last probably a little bit longer. But, I think they comparable. If the issue is visibility and aesthetics for the Shore Drive Corridor, is that an acceptable compromise, I guess? Robert Miller: I think - didn't you say cedar shakes though? - Robert Vakos: No, Cedar shake vinyl. Robert Miller: Right, but I meant... Robert Vakos: It's the difference in the material that we looked at. Robert Miller: Right. Eddie Bourdon: There's a significant difference in cost. Item #3 Danny Martin Page 4 Robert Miller: Right. Eddie Bourdon: It does look nicer but... Robert Vakos: But anyway. Eddie Bourdon: I'm going to be quiet. Robert Vakos: I'm still waiting for my response. Robert Scott: We're at... Robert Vakos: Okay, that's fine. You can go on if you want, I'm just... Betsy Atkinson: Can I ask a question? Ronald Ripley: Yes, Betsy? Betsy Atkinson: Oh, I'm sorry. John Baum: If your so much as varied, but they couldn't rent for fill. Is that recovered in the market place? The fact that you, because on all of the back units. You use the best materials possible. Does that pay? It looks like to me that would be very costly. And nobody's going to see anything but the front. Eddie Bourdon: That is precisely Mr. Baum, precisely what the concem is. This is a price sensitive area. There's lots of areas in the City where that's not the case. Okay, and you can recover those costs. But this is an area that if you look at the multi-family development on Pleasure House Road and it varies in terms of the time frame when it was built. It is, and we're not - we think this is clearly an definite upgrade over a lot that's out there. But this is an infill of an area that is very much developed. And it would be, you know, standing alone in terms of those of higher cost materials when we are limited in terms of the marketability of the units as far as the upper ranges and the prices in large measure by what is already out there that is comparable in terms of multi-family, that's not on the water. Obviously, waterfront gives you a different, y(~u know, dollar sign. But there's the price sensitivity, and Mr. Baum you hit the nail right on the head. That is the burden that we're dealing with. Betsy Atkinson: Ron? Ronald Ripley: Yes Betsy? Betsy Atkinson: Eddie, the architectural rendering here shows a protrusion out to kind of break the front of it. On either side of that protrusion out in the front, are you going to put vinyl shakes or is that going to be the regular vinyl siding. Item #3 Danny Martin Page 5 Eddie Bourdon: Betsy Atkinson: sides... i ii No. In the front it's vinyl. It's a shake. I'm sorry. But it's flat and it comes out and goes back. I'm talking about the two Eddie Bourdon: It's all shake in the front. Everywhere. Betsy Atkinson: Okay. On the whole... Eddie Bourdon: The entire front is shake. The entire front is shake. There's no - the separation that's recommended by staff, you know, the recommendation between top and bottom and the sides are identified. All shake on the front. All sides in the front so to speak. Betsy Atkinson: Okay. Robert Scott: Well. Robert Vakos: Well. Robert Scott: We had a chance to consider this. First of all, the guidelines aren't 24 hours old yet. We do have some allegiance to them. We worked very hard. We got not just the concurrence but, the enthusiastic concurrence of the community out there, all aspects of it. We do want to be reasonable. And we're concerned about the price just like everybody else. I think that you can say almost the same thing about all of Shore Drive. It's almost all built up. We're not - the reason that these design guidelines exist is because we want to go above what's already built out there not comply with what's built out there. And having that been said from a visibility point of view, I think it's important that we adhere to these guidelines in the closer to the road that we do it, the more important that it is that we do it. But I don't think doing in onthe first two buildings are enough. There are 13 buildings there as I count them. And I think that if we could get the first three on each side, the first six buildings to comply with these, I think we could live the remaining seven in the back, not having them on the building material. It won't be as visible. I agree with that. But visibility, I think probably pertains to the first six units. Robert Vakos: Let's make a deal time right? Ronald Ripley: Well. Wait for Mr. Bourdon. Eddie? Robert Vakos: We gave Bob 10 minutes you got to give him 10 minutes. Ronald Ripley: Alright. Bob? In your consideration, you look like you have an area that opens up a little bit back there. Would that be a little more sensitive? You would see that visually? More so than the one's that are closer together? Item #3 Danny Martin Page 6 Eddie Bourdon: If you look at the aerial. I'm sorry for interrupting. Robert Scott: Well, I just - I guess my point is that I'm sensitive to the visibility thing. I am here saying that I suspect there are some units where it's more important than on other units and that we would be willing to suggest foregoing these on certain of the units that are the less visible. Just having given this to us, our first thought looking at it is the one's in the back are the ones we would think to be the least visible. The one's in the front more visible. Then someone else's eye could see it differently. Ronald Ripley: But it looked like to me, I don't think staff was asking - they're asking for the second floor not the entire side and he is going to put siding on anyway and all we're talking about is the differential between vinyl and the shakes, because you're going to have to put something on the siding anyway. Correct? Eddie Bourdon: Yes, that's absolutely correct. Ronald Ripley: So, it's not $300 a square times how many squares you got, it's the differential on the areas that they're talking about. Correct? Eddie Bourdon: Yeah, that's correct, I'm sorry. I was concentrating on what buildings - I wasn't -- I'm sorry. Ronald Ripley: I don't think the staff is unreasonable. Maybe the backs of it may be okay to leave it off, but I don't think what they have requested is unreasonable. I think you'll recover it, without a question. Eddie Bourdon: We beg to differ on that. Let me, if I could, skip back to the original question. Here you have an apartment building that if you think back to the site plan and this what was suggesting, you know, I think that does make - is a reasonable compromise. Because you have these units here, there is really, essentially no visibility. I would tend to agree among you. You may have some visibility of the first three units on this side. The other side, again, I don't think because of the vegetation and the existing dwellings over here, you will have any visibility beyond the first couple of buildings, maybe three, but, the rear of the site is going, again, not have any visibility from any member of the public other than someone coming here to visit someone who lives in this condominium complex. I think that is a reasonable compromise when, again, factoring all the conditions that are there now and the type of development, type of siding that's been used throughout Pleasure House Road and Shore Drive area. We would go along with that. Ronald Ripley: So, Mr. Scott are you okay with the first three buildings? Robert Miller: On each side. Ronald Ripley: On each side? And it also includes - Eddie, because I look at this side profile and it calls for vinyl siding. It doesn't call for the shake. Is the shake is what? Item #3 Danny Martin Page 7 Robert Vakos: The shake is the vinyl. Eddie Bourdon: Right Robert Vakos: I mean, it's a vinyl imitation shake and ... Ronald Ripley: Well, it says the difference, on the front it says vinyl shakes. On the side it says vinyl siding. Robert Vakos: Right Betsy Atkinson: Right. Ronald Ripley: It means two different things to me. Eddie Bourdon: But the condition says that it will be vinyl shake on the top half with the frieze boarding in between. That's the top half of the side and rear of each unit would be the typical vinyl on the bottom half and a vinyl-shake on the top half. Ronald Ripley: I understand. Eddie Bourdon: I do think that's a reasonable compromise. We did that on the first three units on either side as you come in off of Pleasure House Road as well as, on the first units. Ronald Ripley: Betsy? You want to ask a question? Betsy Atkinson: As a realtor, I think if I was marketing these, I would strongly suggest buying the ones with the vinyl shakes. Unfortunately, I don't know if you're going to charge more money for those or whatever, but I mean, I'm okay with your compromise. It is just kind of prettier to have them all the same if they all were shake at top and bottom. Eddie Bourdon: There's not really. If you look at a lot of pictures, there's a much greater differential in cost then there is in differential in appearance at least, but that's subjective. Everybody's idea of what looks good is their idea-on what looks good. But, you know, those in the back will usually be a little more expensive because they're off the main road. So, I think all you're going to do is have a moderation that they're all going to be of a similar price as opposed to having a significant difference from the Pleasure House Road side then from the ones that are in the back. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Miller. Robert Miller: I'd like to make a motion for approval of the modified conditions as we just agreed to them. Item #3 Danny Martin Page 8 Ronald Ripley: You know, we didn't ask for any opposition. Robert Miller: I'm sorry. I apologize. Ronald Ripley: I'm sorry. We got ahead of ourselves. Is there any opposition to this application? Okay, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Miller. Robert Miller: Now I can make a motion? Ronald Ripley: Yes. Robert Miller: I would still like to make a motion for approval of the application with the modified conditions as we just agreed to them on the first three units on each side. John Baum: Would you repeat the modified conditions? Robert Miller: That they be in conformance to the conditions that are stated in our report for the first three units on each side from Pleasure House Road. Eddie Bourdon: And were clear that it won't be beige, it'll be the color that was presented. Ronald Ripley: I'm going to - any discussion? I'm just going to let you know I'm going to vote against it. I have no problem with the project. I just think you're splitting hairs when you're changing siding like that for three units in. But I do support the application to that extent but I will be voting against it and that's the reasom John Baum: Do you want to call away? Ronald Ripley: Yeah, I think I'll do what the staff said. John Baum: My wife is going to be surprised that I should judge quality. I'm not allowed to do this at home you understand. Ronald Ripley: Okay, we'll call for the question. John Baum: A much higher authority. Ed Weeden: Who seconded it? Ronald Ripley: Dot Wood. I'm sorry.
