An ordinance to amend Section 401 of the City's Zoning Ordinance pertaining to farm stands as accessory uses ~n the AG-1 and AG-2. Is there any opposition to this? Mr. Scott, would you please talk about that for us. Robert Scott: Yes ma'am. This is an ordinance that is brought to you by the Agricultural Advisory Committee, whose job it is to look at these things as to their affect on the agriculture industry in our City.. And they have made a suggestion for some changes that would allow farm stands to have 1000 square feet of floor area for retail sales and an additional 1,500 square feet for storage and work area; to limit their height to ten feet; to replace the requirement that at least 50 percent of value of produce be grown by the operator with a requirement that a substantial portion be produced locally (which is a much better use of our limited enforcement resources); and to specify with greater particularity the items, which may be sold and those that may not be sold. This comes to you with the concurrence and support of the Agricultural Advisory Commission, and accordingly, we recommend its approval. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. I'd like to ask Mr. Horsley who is on the Agricultural Advisory Committee. Did you have any comments on that sir? Donald Horsley: Not really. The only thing that I might add is this request came from some of the producers in the county asking that they be allowed to do some expanding of their produce operations. And it came before the Agricultural Advisory Commission, and we looked at it, along with the City Attorney and Planning staff and thought that these changes were very worthy. They come with a unanimous recommendation from the Agricultural Advisory Commission Dorothy Wood: Mr. Ripley, I would move to approve number #32. Ronald Ripley: So we have a motion by Dot Wood to approve. Do I have a second? Seconded by Barry Knight. Any discussion? Let's call for the questmn.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Memorandum of Understanding MEETING DATE: October 7, 2003 · Background: The Norfolk Southern Railway Company is in the process of discontinuing its freight service irt Virginia Beach. Once this service has been terminated Norfolk Southern intends to sell its interest in its rail right-of-way (approximately 15 miles in length) that extends from Birdneck Road in Virginia Beach to Park Avenue in the City of Norfolk. Although Norfolk Southern recognizes there may be several parties interested in purchasing the right-of-way, it hopes to limit negotiations for this sale to one primary negotiator. Norfolk Southern intends to complete this transaction by the summer of 2004. Considerations: Hampton Roads Transit has entered into negotiations with Norfolk Southern to purchase a portion of the rail right-of-way ( 4.6 mile segment from Park Avenue in Norfolk to the Virginia Beach Corporate limits). HRT hopes to acquire the right-of-way to accommodate the proposed light rail project in Norfolk. The City of Virginia Beach has also expressed an interest in purchasing the rail right-of-way in Virginia Beach for future municipal and/or transportation uses. Approximately 10.4 miles of the right-of-way is located in Virginia Beach. The City has expressed an interest in collaborating with HRT to negotiate the purchase of the 10.4 mile segment in Virginia Beach. To accomplish this, Virginia Beach and HRT have prepared the attached Memorandum of Understanding (see Exhibit A to attached ordinance). The Memorandum of Understanding sets forth the parameters that will guide the negotiation process between HRT/Virginia Beach and Norfolk Southern. i Public Information: " After negotiations are complete, the Council may solicit public input as to how the right-of-way will be used. Alternatives: There are three basic alternatives for the Council to consider: 1) Collaborate with HRT in the negotiation and purchase of the right-of- way; 2) The City can negotiate on its own. This could present problems in light of the fact that Norfolk Southern has expressed its desire to conduct one negotiation; and 3) The City can choose to not purchase the right-of-way. Recommendations: Staff recommends the City execute the Memorandum of Understanding with HRT. The Norfolk Southern right-of-way is a valuable public asset that, if lost, would be irreplaceable. The City, by owning the right-of- way, can protect it for future public uses. Consequently, staff recommends the City proceed with negotiations as defined in the Memorandum of Understanding. Attachments: Three attachments are included for the Council's consideration: 1) The Memorandum of Understanding which sets forth the parameters under which the City and HRT will participate in the negotiation process to purchase the Right-of-Way located in the City of Virginia Beach; 2) A Summary of Terms of the Memorandum of Understanding; and 3) An ordinance authorizing the City Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with HRT.

The City has an interest in purchasing the approximately 10.4-mile segment of the NS Right-of-Way located m the City of Virginia Beach for future munimpal and/or transportation use and other public purposes.

NS also desires to sell ~ts ~nterest ~n the entire line of the NS Right-of-Way at one time, w~th an agreement to be reached by the end of 2003 and a sale to occur by the summer of 2004 Accordingly, the C~ty and I-IRT wmh to accommodate NS ~n these desires. F. HRT has already begun negotiations with NS on behalf of the City of Norfolk and Norfolk State University and has offered to facilitate negotiations between NS and the City for the NS Right-of Way located ~n Virgnnia Beach and to act as the lead negotiator. G. HRT supports the City's desire to acquire the Virginia Beach segment of the NS Pdght-of-Way, and to that end, HRT and the City enter into th~s Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the parameters relating to the process to acquire the NS Right-of-Way from NS. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideratmn, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by both parties, the parties agree as follows' . 1. Process for Negotiating for Purchase of NS Right-of-Way with NS. HRT, the City and the prospective purchasers of the Norfolk segment of the NS Right-of- Way will form a united negotiating team. HRT w~ll act as the lead agency in the negotiations with NS relating to the acquisitmn of the entire NS R~ght-of-Way, including the portmn located in Virginia Beach. The City will be directly ~nvolved in the negotiations and the acquisition process; however the City will not have any Independent contact with NS regarding this specific acquisition while HRT ~s ~nvolved in ~ts dmcusslons with NS on behalf of prospective Norfolk and Virgama Beach purchasers. HRT w~ll not make any offers, concede any terms of sale, or refuse any counteroffers on behalf of the City or otherwise affect the bargaining position of the City without the expressed consent of the City through its designated contact person. The City is not required to buy the NS Right-of-Way if the parties are unable to negotiate a price and terms that are acceptable to the City. The goal of these negotiations is to allow the City to successfully purchase the Vlrgtma Beach segment of the NS Right-of-Way, and HRT shall not take any action that operates against this purpose. As to the Virgima Beach segment of the NS K~ght-of Way, HRT will not act as a negotiator for any competing prospective purchaser. In the event the C~ty is unable or unwilling to purchase the V~rgama Beach segment, HRT may purchase the segment; provided, however, that the C~ty has first informed HRT m writing that ~t no longer intends to purchase all or any part of the Virginia Beach segment of the NS R~ght-of-Way. Designated contacts for each party are set forth below: HRT Ms. Jayne Whitney Chief Development Officer Hampton Roads Transit 3400 Victoria Boulevard Hampton, VA 23661 757-222-6000 X6084 ,jwhitney(~hrtransit.org City of Virginia Beach Jim Lawson City Real Estate Agent Department of Public Works/Real Estate 2405 Courthouse Drive Building #2, Suite 392 Virgania Beach, VA 23456 757-427-8387 ,ilawson~vbgov.com Appraisal. In 2000, HRT and NS obtmned an appraisal of the entire NS Right-of-Way. NS has agreed to pay for an update of the appraisal to bnng ~t current. It ~s anticipated that the updated apprmsal w~ll be completed dunng the summer of 2003. HRT and NS have agreed that the updated apprmsal value will serve as a ceiling for purposes of negotiating a purchase price for the entire NS Right-of-Way. The City retains the right to obtain its own appraisal, but the City ~s under no obhgation to do so. When the 2000 appraisal was performed, the rml assets, e.g., t~es, rail, etc. (the "Rail Infrastructure") were also appraised. With NS's pending line abandonment ~t ~s expected that the Rail Infrastructure has no value and, thus, w~ll not ~mpact the final purchase price of the NS R~ght-of-Way. 3. Surveys, T~tle Work, Environmental Site Assessments and Legal Costs Dunng the Negotiations. During the negotiations for the purchase of the NS Right-of-Way, the C~ty will bear the cost of obtmmng title work and environmental s~te assessments ("ESAs") on the Virglma Beach segment of the NS Right-of-Way, should the C~ty decide title work and ESAs are necessary; HRT will bear the cost of an encroachment survey of the entire NS Raght-of-Way, including that port~on of the NS Right-of-Way that is in Virginia Beach. HRT and the C~ty w~ll each bear their own legal costs. HRT may not retain or perform title work, ESAs, or any legal services for the City at the C~ty's expense without the City's advance written authorization. HRT will provide the City copies of all documents ~t may have ~n its possession pertmning to the t~tle or environmental condition of the Virgima Beach segment of the NS Right-of-Way, including w~thout limitation old t~tle reports, surveys, deeds or previous site studies. The City will not be responsible for any costs or expenses of any k~nd pertmning to the Norfolk segment of the NS Right-of-Way. 4. Process for Acquiring the NS Right of Way After negotiating a purchase price for the entire NS Right-of-Way, there remains the task of actually acquinng the lxne. Because it ~s NS's stated desire to sell ~ts interest in the entire line at one nme, the City understands that it may be required to fund ~ts share of the purchase price (to be determined in the negotiations with NS) at the same time the purchaser of the Norfolk segment funds its share. However, the City is free to pursue, ~n accordance with the process set forth ~n Paragraph 1 of this Memorandum of Understanding, alternative payment arrangements w~th NS as part of the negotiations, such as an installment plan, lease/purchase, or other finanmal plan. 5. Timetable for Negotiation for and Acquisition of the Right of Way If, by the Target Date (defined below) HRT has not successfully famlitated an agreement between the City and NS, then the C~ty may (upon notice to HRT in writing) terminate this Memorandum of Understanding and pursue negotiations directly with NS for the acqmsition of the segment of the NS Right-of-Way located in Virginia Beach. Prior to the Target Date, the C~ty may pursue negotiations directly with NS for the acquisition of the segment of the NS Right-of-Way located ~n Virginia Beach only if I-IRT has first notffied the City in writing that it has abandoned active pursuit of an agreement with NS to purchase the NS R~ght-of- Way on behalf of the City. The term "Target Date" means the date thxrty (30) months after the final executmn of th~s Memorandum of Understanding. 6. Disposition of the Virginia Beach Portion of the Right of Way The parties recognize a mutual desire to preserve the option of transportation uses on the NS Right-of-Way, and they recognize HRT's strong interest in preserving the potential for light rml to be installed on the NS Right-of-Way in Virginia Beach, should the City decide In the future to pursue a light rail project. In light of these considerations, should the City purchase the Virginia Beach segment of the NS Pdght-of-Way, the City will consult with HRT to minimize the impact on potential future mass transportation uses before selling or significantly disturbing the integrity of the NS Pdght-of-Way. For example, if the City decides to install a bicycle or pedestrian path, horseback-riding trail, or paved street on its portion of the NS Right-of-Way, the City will consult with HRT before doing so, to determine the impact of such use on the potential for light rail or other mass transportation options, and to discuss w~th HRT options to preserve sufficient room for light raul potential if the NS Right-of-Way can accommodate multiple uses. Nothing in th~s Memorandum of Understanding, however, shall obligate the City to pursue hght rml or any other use or gave HRT any control over how the City uses the NS Right-of- Way after the City acquires it 7. Application for Credit Toward Future Mass Transportation Projects. The City may, at any time upon written notice to I-IRT, apply to the appropriate agency to have (1) the monies paid by the City for the purchase of the NS Right-of-Way, or (2) the then-determined value of any easement, leasehold interest or fee interest contributed to any future mass transportation project, at the C~ty's sole discretion, credited towards the City's local share (local match) of any mass transportation system that might be developed on the NS Right-of-Way m the furore. HRT will cooperate with such application in order to facilitate such credit. 8. Maintenance of the Right of Way after Acquisition/Lease Upon acqumng the Norfolk portion of the line, HRT will assume full responsibility for maintenance and security of the Norfolk section of the NS Right-of-Way. Upon acquiring title and/or right of exclusive possession of the section of the NS Right-of-Way located in Vlrg~ma Beach, the City will assume all responsibility for the maintenance and security of the NS Right-of-Way in Virginia Beach, including but not hmited to vegetation control and encroachment prevention and remediation. After acquisition, the City shall have no responsibihty for the maintenance of the rail assets including ties, rails, crossing protection, etc. Once abandonment of the rml freight operatmn is officially granted, the City agrees to consult with HRT before removing or paving over any rail crossing, in accordance with Paragraph 6 of this Memorandum. To the extent provided in the property sales agreement, the City will receive all revenues generated by easements, license agreements, etc. related to third party use of the right of way located m Virginia Beach. The City agrees to consult with HRT before e,ntering into any new easement-type agreements, including renewal of any existing easements or use agreements. This Memorandum of Understanding may reqmre modification in the future and is intended to reflect the understandings between the parties as of the date of this Memorandum of Understanding. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the part~es have caused this Memorandum of Understanding to be executed as of the date first written above.

A reserve was set aside in anticipation of a 15% increase in employee health insurance costs. The rates for plan year 2004 have r~ow been set and the increase was lower than anticipated.

Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda notification process. Alternatives: Eight options were presented to City Council at a briefing on September 23, 2003. The available funds could be used to fund: 1. Offset increases in VRS retirement & life insurance 2. Health insurance reserve 3. Increased merit 4. Additional compression adjustment 5. Additional coverage for dependent tiers 6. Additional holiday opportunities 7. One-time bonus to employees 8.

This ordinance relates solely to providing $100,000 in funding for a new public restroom facility. Considerations: It was the intent of Council to have the new restroom facility open during the 2004 summer season. The CIP currently provides $532,500 over two fiscal years: $250,000 in FY2003/2004 and $282,500 in FY 2004/2005. However, to construct the restroom facility on time, $350,000 is needed in the current fiscal year; therefore, an additional $100,000 needs to be transferred to the project. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council Agenda notification process. Alternatives: There are two alternatives: . Approve the attached appropriation ordinance for the additional $100,000 this fiscal year. . Provide no additional funding this fiscal year. During this FY, only do the design work for both the restrooms and the parking lot expansion. Then during the development of the FY 2004/2005 CIP, the project funding can be revised as necessary per current construction estimates based on that design work When the balance of the project funding ~s approved for FY 2004~2005, construction on both the restrooms and parking lot could commence w~th a completion prior to the 2005 summer season.

CA-8987 Ordin/Noncode/croatanrestrmord.wpd R-4 - September 29, 2003 APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: ~Manage~efi~ Services APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: City Attorney~ Offi~c[ IITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM Ordinance to Add Two Full-Time Employee Posit~ons and Transfer $78,336 to the FY 2003-04 Operating Budget of the City Attorney's Office MEETING DATE: October 7, 2003 Background: The proposed ordinance provides the following two new posit~ons in the Office of the City Attorney: (1) An Office Assistant II position. The City Council, by resolution dated August 12, 2003, transferred the responsibilities for responding to Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") requests to the City Attorney. A FOIA office was established and an existing Legal Secretary II was relocated from the Office's Policy and Administration section to provide staffing for th~s new office. The requested Office Assistant II position will replace the Legal Secretary II position. (2) A Senior Attorney position for commercial real estate work. The rapid ~ncrease in real estate development matters has created a need for an additional experienced real estate attorney. In particular, this position is necessary to manage existing projects and ~ncrease the Office's ability to do more of this specialized work in-house. Considerations: Adding these positions to the City Attorney's Office will require a transfer of $78,336 to its FY2003-04 Operating Budget from the Reserve for Contingencies. The $78,336 represents the combined costs of salary, health care and other fringe benefits for these two positions. Recommendation: Approval of proposed ordinance.
