CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Sanitary Sewer Pump Station Reliability - Request for Appropriation of Funds
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
. Background: In September 2003, Hurricane Isabel-related power failures shut
down 92 percent of the City's 389 sanitary sewer pump stations. Because of the
sheer number of stations without power and the extended duration of the
outages, which dwarfed all previous experiences, Public Utilities personnel and
equipment were unable to prevent the numerous sanitary sewage overflows
(SSO's) that ensued. Public Utilities has evaluated two alternatives to improve
its capacity to respond to city-wide power failures. It has also considered an
immediate response that would improve our ability to respond during the 2004
and 2005 hurricane seasons.
Alternative 1 would involve a permanent, auxiliary generator or pump at all 389
sewer pump stations. This is estimated to cost up to $50 million. Debt service
and operational costs would be about $6 million per year. Alternative 2 would
involve permanent, auxiliary equipment at 97 high-vulnerability stations, electrical
"quick-connects" at the other 292 stations, and more portable generator and
pumping equipment (in-house and leased). It is estimated to cost up to $21
million. Debt service and operational costs would be about $2.6 million per year.
Both alternatives would require up to 5 years to implement, and require sewer
rate increases.
. Considerations: SSO's occur for many reasons other than power failures and
the sanitary sewer system has many needs beyond improving reliability during
storm events. The best use of limited sewer revenues is to seek to minimize the
total volume and number of SSO's from all causes, not just one cause in
particular. For these reasons, staff would not recommend Alternative 1.
Alternative 2, or something similar, may be appropriate but more analysis and
engineering is necessary before a final recommendation can be made.
In the meantime, staff has identified an immediate response to improve the ability
to respond during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. These actions involve
the purchase of 20 portable generators (5 replacement, 15 new), emergency
contracts to lease additional generators and auxiliary pumps from the private
sector before and after a hurricane or other similar emergency, and a program to
facilitate the installation of backwater valves in structures that are highly
vulnerable to SSO's. This is estimated to cost approximately $1.3 million. It is
proposed that funding be in the form of an appropriation from the Water and
Sewer Fund Retained Earnings. This would not require any water or sewer rate
increases.
. Public Information: A public hearing has been advertised in accordance with
applicable law. This item was also advertised as part of the City Council Agenda.
. Alternatives: The alternatives are to 1) enact, or 2) reject the proposal to
appropriate $1.3 million from retained earnings to support the immediate
response to prepare for the 2004 and 2005 hurricane season. If rejected, Public
Utilities will recommend upgrading its capacity to respond to city-wide power
failures by including the necessary funding in the next Capital Improvement
Program and Operating Budget cycles for Council review and consideration, at
that time. However, Public Utilities would not be able to implement an immediate
response to improve the ability to respond during the next hurricane season.
. Recommendations: Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached
ordinance that authorizes appropriation of $1.3 million in retained earnings to CIP
#6-066 Pump Station Modifications - Phase IV for the identified short-term
solution efforts to increase the operational reliability of the Tier I sanitary sewer
pumping stations.

MEETING DATE:
April27,2004
.
Background: Bruce L. Thompson desires to maintain a pier, boat lift, and bulkhead
and to construct and maintain three (3) mooring piles, floating pier, aluminum
gangway, rip rap and fill at the rear of 464 Southside Road in Lake Wesley. There
are approved Joint Permit Applications for these requests.
.
Considerations:
City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachments and has recommended
approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the agreement
The Department of Public Works supports the utilization of "hardened slope
stabilization" methods including bulkheading, grouted rip-rap and rip-rap with filter cloth
to minimize and prevent soil loss along bank slopes associated with open drainage
ditch, canal and lake systems. These methods are successful in areas with soil types
classified as highly erodible, specifically during major rainfall events which create high
velocities and wave action along bank slopes due to high winds.
There are similar encroachments surrounding Lake Wesley, which is where Mr.
Thompson has requested to encroach.
.
Public Information:

Alternatives:
Approve the encroachment as presented, deny the encroachment, or add
conditions as desired by Council.

ITEM:
Request for Categorical Transfers in School Operating Budget
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
. Background: The FY 2003-04 School Operating Budget was appropriated by
City Council by categories and any transfer of funds between the categories must be
approved by City Council prior to transfer and expenditure of funds by the School
Board.
. Considerations: On March 16, 2004 the administration of the Virginia Beach
City Public Schools presented a mid-year review of the FY 2003-04 Operating Budget
and indicated that approximately $10.9 million of appropriated funds were available.
The School Board recommends that the following items be purchased through the
Operations and Maintenance category:
. $110,000 for Custodial Equipment
. $160,000 for repair of musical instruments
. $252,857 for Trilogy locks
. $180,000 for walkie-talkies for communication between portables and the main
building
. $235,000 for the replacement of various fleet vehicles
. $300,000 for equipment replacement for Landscape Services
. $200,000 for replacement of copiers
. $300,000 for building modifications to academy programs
Furthermore, the School Board, in a resolution dated April 6, 2004, requests that the
City Council approve categorical transfers as follows:
. $1,137,857 from Instruction to Operations and Maintenance
. $ 350,000 from Administration, Attendance and Health to Operations and
Maintenance
. $ 250,000 from Transportation to Operations and Maintenance
. Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal
Council Agenda notification process.
. Alternatives: $1,737,857 in excess funds in the categories of Instruction;
Administration, Attendance & Health; and Transportation would "revert" to the City at the
end of the fiscal year, and needed equipment and services will not be purchased from
the Operations and Maintenance category.
. Recommendations: It is recommended that the City Council approve the
transfer of $1,737,857 in the FY 2003-04 School Operating Budget from the categories
of Instruction; Administration, Attendance & Health; and Transportation to the
Operations and Maintenance category.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Norfolk Foundation Grant to Purchase Two Online Grant Databases
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
. Background:
Non-profit organizations frequently rely on the public library to provide information on
available grants. The largest local source of grant information is located at the Hampton
Public Library, which as a Cooperating Library of the Foundation Center receives many
materials free of charge. The Virginia Beach Public Library has applied twice to be a
Cooperating Library but was not accepted because the City's facilities were within fifty
miles of Hampton.
In December 2002, the Virginia Beach Public Library received a regional grant of $9,180
from The Norfolk Foundation to provide access to two on-line grant databases that
provide up-to-date, easily accessible information on available grants and grant making
organizations. These two databases, "Grant Select" and the "Foundation Directory
Online," have been available for the past year to customers of the Virginia Beach Public
Library and three other Hampton Roads libraries - Chesapeake, Norfolk and
Portsmouth. The Norfolk Foundation has renewed this grant for an additional three
years, at $9.180 per year, so Hampton Roads public libraries can continue to provide
this service.
. Considerations:
Funds for the first year of the three-year grant have been received. No matching funds
are required by the City.
. Public Information:
Public information will be handled through the normal Council Agenda notification
process.
. Alternatives:
No alternative funding is available.
. Recommendations:
It is recommended that the grant of $9,180 be approved for the renewal of the online
grant databases.

MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
. Background:
In July of 2003, the City was notified that the Department of Justice would be providing
pass-through funding for localities to support equipment needs related to preparedness
and response to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) events. The Virginia Department
of Emergency Management has awarded the City two grants totaling $1,217,130
through a population formula. The grant requires a resolution of support from City
Council and that equipment purchases must be approved by the grantor prior to receipt
of the funds.
A committee has met to assess the needs and priorities for the City as a whole. The
final determinations for funding were endorsed by the Safe Community Strategic Issue
Team. This committee determined that this initial funding was best spent primarily on
public-safety related equipment. Funding from these grants will be allocated:
2003-8ase Grant Distribution:
. Personal Protective Equipment for Responders

response in addition to increasing the City's preparedness to respond to events
involving terrorism or weapons of mass destruction.

. Alternatives:
The city currently does not have the capacity to fund the requested items within current

need and increasing the City's capability to effectively respond to WMD events.

ITEM:
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
A Resolution to direct the City Manager to execute the Hampton
Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System Mutual Aid
Agreement and the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Strike
Team Memorandum of Understanding
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background: Virginia Beach is a participant in the Statewide Mutual Aid
Agreement. This Mutual Aid Agreement is activated once the Governor declares
an emergency. The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response fills the
response needs when a jurisdiction experiences a medical emergency beyond its
individual response capability that does not, however, warrant an emergency
declaration from the Governor's office.
.
Considerations: As an active member of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan
Medical Response System, the City would be able to respond to those local
medical emergencies beyond its individual capabilities that do not warrant the
Governor declaring a State of Emergency.
.
Public Information: This Resolution will be advertised in the same manner as
other council agenda items.
.
Recommendations: Adopt Resolution
.

Hampton Roads City and County Managers
Dear Chief Administrative Officer:
In March we asked for your assistance to help the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical
Response System (HRMMRS) become operational by signing two documents: a response
agreement and a mutual aid agreement. Seven of the fifteen jurisdictions signed these
agreements, but several of the remaining jurisdictions were not comfortable with the
indemnification and hold harmless language. Others requested additional changes and wanted to
see the documents cross-referenced. Kathy Rountree from the Virginia Beach City Attorney's
Office accepted the challenge of addressing these concerns and drafting revised documents. The
HRMMRS Strike Team Operations Committee and Oversight Committee have reviewed these
revised agreements and believe all of the concerns have been addressed. The two new
documents are enclosed for your review and signature.
The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Strike Team (HRMMST) Response
Memorandum of Understanding is needed to sponsor your personnel as HRMMST members to
serve in leadership and responder roles. Sponsorship constitutes (1) liability, medical and
worker's compensation coverage while on assignment, (2) temporary duty assignment time for
required training and exercises, and (3) service in a shared and rotating on-call duty status. When
serving in this on-call status, the sponsored personnel may be activated for emergency response
anywhere within the Hampton Roads region. While on call, your sponsored personnel will be in
position to attend to their regular local duties in your agency but must be allowed to respond if
activated. All Hampton Roads jurisdictions, hospitals, public health departments, as well as
several private medical groups and organizations, are being asked to sponsor personnel for this
operational response team. Over 200 individuals will be required to staff the HRMMST. An
organization chart is enclosed for your reference. All HRMMST members will receive the
appropriate personal protective equipment, communication equipment and training to fulfill their
responsibilities. As personnel are identified within your organization, they are being asked to
discuss sponsorship with their supervisors. When the HRMMST is fully staffed, we will forward
a matrix identifying all members and their roles for your reference.
The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System Mutual Aid Agreement will
authorize the use of personnel and equipment for emergency response among all sixteen
Hampton Roads jurisdictions, upon request ofthe incident commander. This will ensure that the
assets of all jurisdictions, including MMRS assets, will be immediately available to the affected
jurisdiction (s) when the response is beyond the abilities and/or resources of the jurisdiction(s).

Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System
Metropolitan Medical Strike Team Response Memorandum of Understanding
This Memorandum of Understanding will address the sponsorship, response, staffing, and
training requirements for civilian agencies supporting Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Strike
Team (HRMMST) members and for localities supporting HRMMST members under the provisions
of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System Mutual Aid Agreement.
1. A HRMMST member requested to respond to a Hampton Roads Metropolitan
Medical Response System ("HRMMRS") activation, or participate in training and regional exercises,
will be provided coverage under the individual member's sponsoring jurisdiction's or agency's
liability and compensation policies and plans, including, but not limited to, health, liability, and
worker's compensation benefits. To the extent authorized bylaw, each participating jurisdiction and
agency will provide for the payment of compensation and death benefits to its injured members of
the responding HRMMST if such member(s) sustain injuries or are killed while rendering aid
pursuant to this Memorandum of Understanding, in the same manner and on the same terms as if the
injury or death were sustained within the member's own jurisdiction or agency.
2. HRMMST members responding to an incident will report to the areas designated
when notification of an incident is received. Use of sponsoring jurisdiction or agency official
vehicles is preferred.
3. HRMMST members will respond to the incident with personal protective equipment
and clothing and/or other equipment issued to them by the HRMMRS and/or the sponsoring
jurisdiction or agency.
4. HRMMST members will be made available to meet the initial and annual continuing
education and training requirements of the HRMMRS. Members will be made available both on and
off duty to assure compliance with the training requirements, unless to do so would cause an undue
hardship on the affected locality.
5. HRMMST members will be available to respond to a HRMMRS activation inside or
outside of their jurisdiction!work location, both on and off duty, unless to do so would cause an
undue hardship on the affected locality. HRMMST members will respond at no cost to the
affected/requesting locality provided they are responding to a properly executed HRMMRS incident
and are part of the Strike Team on call. If the incident is declared a "Disaster" by the Governor of
Virginia and/or President of the United States, each jurisdiction and agency may be able to seek
reimbursement as outlined by FEMA federally declared disaster requirements.
6. This Memorandum of Understanding may be modified with the approval of the
agency directors and the managers of the various localities.
7. This Memorandum of Understanding may be terminated by providing written notice
thirty (30) days prior to termination to the Hampton Roads MMRS Oversight Committee, c/o
Tidewater Emergency Medical Services Council, Inc., 855 West Brambleton Avenue, Norfolk,
Virginia 23510-1001.

("HRMMRS"), being the cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk,
Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg; the counties of Gloucester, Isle of
Wight, James City, Southampton, Sorry, York; and the town of Smithfield, each duly and lawfully
represented by the contracting officer executing this instrument:
RECITAL
Whereas, each of the parties hereto support the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Strike
Team; and
Whereas, each of the parties hereto maintains equipment and personnel for emergency
response within its own jurisdiction; and
Whereas, it is deemed mutually beneficial to the parties hereto to enter into an agreement
concerning mutual aid and cooperation with regard to emergency medical responses to suspected
terrorism events, and natural and man-made catastrophes, that are conceivably beyond the abilities
and/or resources of the affected party; and
Whereas, the parties hereto desire to augment their emergency medical response resources in
times of mass casualty, disaster or terrorism events; and
Whereas, the parties hereto desire that the terms and conditions of this HRMMRS Mutual
Aid Agreement be established:
Therefore, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. In the event of a medical emergency in a party' s jurisdiction that may necessitate the
need of a mutual aid response, it shall be the duty of the requesting jurisdiction's incident
commander to assure that the request for the mutual aid response is communicated per the requesting
jurisdiction's policy.
2. In the event a request for a mutual aid response is properly made by the requesting
jurisdiction, the responding equipment and personnel will be under the control of their own
supervisor(s), the senior supervisor reporting to and taking directions from the requesting party's
incident commander.
3. The incident commander of the requesting jurisdiction shall assume full command of
the operations, but ìfthat incident commander specifically requests the senior officer of the mutual
aid response to assume command, that requesting party's incident commander shall not, by
relinquishing command, be relieved ofhiSiher responsibility for the operation.
4. The requesting party shall be responsible for designating a radio communications
system for use by all emergency personnel. Should radio systems be incompatible, the incident
commander and the senior officer of the mutual aid response shall coordinate communications.
5. The services performed and expenditures made under this Agreement shall be deemed
to be for public and governmental purposes and all immunities from liability enjoyed by the local
government within its boundaries shall extend to its participation in rendering assistance outside its
lof2
boundaries. It is understood that for the purposes of this Agreement, the mutual aid response is
rendering aid once it departs its own jurisdictional boundaries.
6. All pension, disability, worker's compensation, life and health insurance and other
benefits enjoyed by personnel participating in the mutual aid response shall extend to the services
they perform under this Agreement whether inside or outside of their respective jurisdictions. Each
party agrees that provisions of these benefits shall remain the responsibility of the participating
personnel's jurisdiction.
7. Each party hereto agrees to waive any and all claims against all other parties hereto
which may arise out of their participation in HRMMRS activities inside or outside of their respective
jurisdictions.
8. The parties participating in this Agreement shall not be liable to each other for
reimbursement for injuries to personnel or damage to equipment incurred when going to or returning
from another jurisdiction. No party shall be liable to any other party for any other costs associated
with, or arising out of, the rendering of assistance by a mutual aid response pursuant to this
Agreement; except, however, the responding jurisdiction may request reimbursement to replenish
equipment and supplies. However, should the incident be declared a disaster by the President of the
United States and/or Governor of Virginia, it shall be incumbent upon the requesting jurisdiction to
coordinate with the mutual aid team(s) the calculation of actual costs incurred for use ofpersonnel
and equipment. The requesting party shall also, upon receipt of reimbursement funds, coordinate
with the mutual aid team(s) the disbursement of those funds related to personnel and equipment
provided by the mutual aid team(s).
9. Nothing contained in this Agreement should in any marmer be construed to require
any of the parties to respond to a request for services when the service personnel of the jurisdiction to
whom the request is made are, in the opinion of the requested jurisdiction, needed or are being used
within the boundaries of that jurisdiction, nor shall any such request require the requested
jurisdiction to continue to provide services to another jurisdiction when its service personnel,
vehicles or equipment are, in the requested jurisdictionls opinion, needed for other duties within its
own boundaries.
10. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it be interpreted to override,
supercede, nullify or in any way change any mutual aid agreement or understanding currently
enjoyed by any party, jointly or severely.
11. Any of the parties hereto may withdraw from this Agreement by giving thirty (30)
days written notice to that effect to each of the other parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by
their respective duly authorized officers, with their respective official seals affixed hereto and
attested by their respective city, county or town clerk, and indicated thereafter the ordinance or
resolution authorizing the execution.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Bay Breeze Condominiums, Inc. - Street Closure (portion of Summerville
Court)
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Bay Breeze Condominiums, Inc. for the
discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of Summerville Court beginning
at a point 270 feet north of its intersection with Carver Avenue and running 26.99 feet in
a northerly direction. DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
.
Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to close 600 square feet of Summerville Court to be
incorporated into the adjacent Lots 7 and 9 and Parcel 1. These parcels are currently
under development for a residential condominium project.
The Staff's evaluation of this request has determined that the City has no future need
for this portion of right-of-way. Also, the propdsed residential use is in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because there is no
future need for this portion of right-of-way. The Viewers Committee and staff
recommend approval. There was no opposition to the request.
.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this
request, with the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The applicant shall dedicate certain right-of-way to the City
for a turn space at the new terminus of Summerville Court. The net area of right-
of-way being closed and vacated by the City, in excess of the area of right-ot-way
being dedicated to the City by the applicant, will be purchased from the City. The
purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy
Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,"
approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are available in the Planning
Department.
2. The applicant is required to construct a turn space at the new terminus of
Summerville Court at no cost to the City of Virginia Beach. A construction plan for
the turn space must be approved and bonded through the Development Services
Center of the Planning Department prior to recordation of the street closure plat.
The construction plan shall include a row of evergreen shrubs (3 to 4 feet in
height) to be planted along the northern and western edge of the turn space to
provide a screen for the proposed condominiums.
3. The applicant is required to resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines
to incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be
submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.
4. The applicant is required to verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-
way proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility companies
indicate that there are private utilities within the right-of-way proposed for closure
and an easement satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
5. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above
stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the conditions
noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved within one
year of the City Council vote to close the right-af-way this approval shall be
considered null and void.

Staff Evaluation
Staffs evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses the 'Major Issue' above. The proposal's strengths in addressing
the 'Major Issue' are
(1) The City has no future need for this portion of right-of-way.
(2) The proposed residential use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Viewers Committee and staff, therefore, recommend approval of this request
subject to the following conditions.
Conditions
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The applicant shall dedicate certain right-of-way to the City
for a turn space at the new terminus of Summerville Court. The net area of right-
of-way being closed and vacated by the City, in excess of the area of right-of-way
being dedicated to the City by the applicant, will be purchased from the City. The
purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy
Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures,"
approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are available in the Planning
Department.

2. The applicant is required to construct a turn space at the new terminus of
Summerville Court at no cost to the City of Virginia Beach. A construction plan for
the turn space must be approved and bonded through the Development Services
Center of the Planning Department prior to recordation of the street closure plat.
The construction plan shall include a row of evergreen shrubs (3 to 4 feet in
height) to be planted along the northern and western edge of the turn space to

to incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be
submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.
4. The applicant is required to verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-
way proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility companies
indicate that there are private utilities within the right-of-way proposed for closure
and an easement satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
5. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above
stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the concjitions
noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved within one
year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way this approval shall be
considered null and void.

Item #1
Bay Breeze Condominiums, Inc.
Discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of
Summerville Court
District 6
Beach
March 10, 2004
CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: Our next order of business as Mr. Crabtree mentioned to us will be our
consent agenda. Our Vice Chair is handling that for us.
William Din: Thank you Dot. Today we have two items that we have included on our
consent agenda today. As I call your item, will the applicant or representative please
come up, state your name, your relationship to the application and if there are conditions
associated with it, if you agree with those conditions. The first item that I have is Bay
Breeze Condominiums, Inc. This is a discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a
portion of Summerville Court beginning at a point 250 north of the intersection with
Carver A venue running approximately 46.99 feet in a northerly direction.
/
Jeff Maynard: Good afternoon Mr. Din, Madame Chairwoman. My name is Jeff
Maynard. I'm the attorney for the applicant. My business address is 222 Central Park
A venue, Suite 2000. As I mentioned, I represent the applicant and will stand by him.
William Din: There are five conditions with this.
Jeff Maynard: Yes. Those are acceptable.
William Din: To explain why we have placed this on a consent agenda, Mr. Ripley
would you please?
Ronald Ripley: Yes. The Planning Commission looked this item over and it's a small
portion of the north end of Summerville Court that the applicant's requesting a closure.
He's tying this in to a development that he's doing on Americus Avenue. It's a small
condominium community that's going in there. The applicant owns the property on
either side. He either owns or has it under contract so this would fit in nicely. He's also
agreed to expand the remaining portion of the end ofthis road so a cul-de-sac or a turning
lane area would be appropriate for the people using that street. The Planning staff
recommends this approval. The viewers have looked at it and they recommended
approval. There is no need for it. The Planning Commission felt that it ought to be on
consent.
William Din: 1 apologize. 1 probably should have asked ifthere were any opposition to
putting this on the consent agenda prior to that explanation. Is there any opposition?

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ronald C. and Donna J. Ripley - Subdivision Variance
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background:
Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the
Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision for Ronald C. and Donna J. Ripley. Property
is located at 4101 White Acres Road (GPIN 14789829780000). DISTRICT 4-
BAYSIDE
.
Considerations:
It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide an additional lot out of the 10.27 acre
lot. As a result of the subdivision request, the Parcel 2-1 will not have any
frontage along a right-of-way, necessitating a subdivision variance prior to its
recordation. In addition, the newly formed lot (Parcel 2-2), although possessing
frontage along a right-of-way, will not meet the minimum requirement of 125 feet
of frontage; therefore, this lot will also require a variance prior to its recordation
This request has been reviewed by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area
Board and a variance was granted for encroachment into the Resource
Protection Area on September 22, 2003.
The proposed two-lot subdivision far exceeds the conventional residential lot
sizes found in this area, including several other lots of unusual depth. This
subdivision is also consistent with several other unusually configured lots that
have occurred in the surrounding area as a result of unusual environmental
conditions and natural features and previous subdivisions platted around them.
Staff concludes that this variance request meets the hardship criteria afforded
lots of unusual depth and configuration.
Staff recommended approval. There was opposition to the request.
.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
Ronald C. and Donna J. Ripley
Page 2 of 2
1. The property shall be subdivided in substantial compliance with the
submitted plat entitled, "Subdivision Plat of Parcel 2 Whitehead Property,"
prepared by Horton & Dodd, P.C., dated October 31,2003.
2. When Parcel 2-2 is developed, the footprint of the dwelling unit shall be
located as depicted on the Plan approved by the Chesapeake Bay
Preservation Area Board entitled, " CBPA Plan of Parcel 2-2, Subdivision
of part of Whitehead Property, sheet 3 of 5," prepared by Horton & Dodd,
P.C., dated July 17, 2003.

Staff Planner: Carolyn A.K. Smith
The foJ/owing report is prepared by the staff of the Virginia Beach Department of
Planning to provide data, information, and professional land use recommendations to
the Planning Commission and the City Council to assist them in making a decision
regarding this application.
Location and General Information
The Planning Commission previously heard this item at the February 2004 public
hearing. However, an error occurred and not all of the adjacent property owners
were notified of the hearing by certified mail as required by State Code.
Therefore, the February hearing of this item was nullified, requiring that this
matter be heard again.

NATURAL
RESOURCE
AND
CULTURAL
FEATURES:
The site is heavily wooded and predominately located within the
Resource Protection Area, the most stringently regulated portion of
the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. The property is surrounded
on three sides by the Lynnhaven River.
AICUZ:
The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
Comprehensive Plan
The site is located in the Primary Residential Area. The land use planning policies and
principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting
the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods
located in this area. In a general sense, this means that the established type, size, and
relationship of land use, both residential and non-residential, in and around these
neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development.
RONALD C. AND DONNA J. RIPLEY
Agenda Item # 10
Page 2
Existing Lot: The existing lot is 10.27 acres and has a single-family dwelling on the
property.
Proposed Lots: It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide an additional lot out of the
remaining 10.27 acres. In August of 1995, a 1.143-acre lot identified as "Parcel 1" was
carved out of this property. As a result of the current subdivision request, the parcel on
the peninsula (Parcel 2-1) will not have any frontage along a right-of-way, necessitating
a subdivision variance prior to its recordation. In addition, the newly formed lot (Parcel
2-2), although possessing frontage along a right-of-way, will not meet the minimum
requirement of 125 feet of frontage; therefore, this lot will also require a variance prior to
its recordation.

Staff recommends approval of this request.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A.
B.
C.
Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be
adversely affected.
The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make
reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be
adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.
The hardship is created by the physical character of the property,
including dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation
or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property
immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not
be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which
the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever
such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated
by reference in this ordinance.
D.
E.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
does provide evidence of a hardship justifying the granting of a variance to the
requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has demonstrated a hardship
based on the following:
The proposed two-lot subdivision far exceeds the conventional residential lot sizes
found in this area, including several other lots of unusual depth. The lots proposed
here are well suited for this area and are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
policies for the Primary Residential Area of preserving and protecting the character,
environmental and economic value, and aesthetic quality of the adjacent
neighborhood. This subdivision is also consistent with the several other unusually
configured lots that have occurred in the surrounding area as a result of unusual
environmental conditions and natural features and previous subdivisions platted
around them. Staff concludes that this variance request meets the hardship criteria
afforded lots of unusual depth and configuration.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request.

Appeal to Decisions of Administrative officers in regard
to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance
4101 White Acres Road
District 4
Bayside
April 14,2004
REGULAR
William Din: Our next item Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: The next item on the agenda is Item #10. The applicant is Ronald C. &
Donna J. Ripley for a subdivision variance.
William Din: Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: Yes. Since I'm the applicant I now obviously abstain on this. I'm going to
leave the chambers while the issue is being heard.
William Din: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: It has two conditions.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. For the record, my name is Eddie Bourdon, a
Virginia Beach attorney. As you are all very much aware, this application was before you
back in February. Unfortunately, there was an error made with the affect to the notice on
this piece of property, it is a peninsula that actually comes out of one larger parcel, a larger
development in Thoroughgood, which is adjacent to another development at Witchduck
Point. The folks at Witchduck Point whose property adjoins this were not notified. All the
folks on the peninsula were aware of it but one gentleman, Mr. Bostic, who lives here on the
adjoining property was not notified. These folks were not officially notified and were
spoken to by the applicant who was fully aware of the application and do not have any
objection to the application. Mr. Bostic, who lives here, he was not aware and that's why
we got to City Council and it was sent back so that the property measures could begin with.
I mentioned to you that Mr. Bostic was here earlier and he asked me to advise you that with
the additional condition that was added, which was Condition #2, with respect to the
location of the home which you already were aware of that had been approved by the Bay
Board and it can't be changed. We agree with the additional condition. I think it's
redundant but it certainly is fine with us. He has asked me to advise you that he does not
object to the variance. He's supportive of the variance. He had been concerned with the
possibility of the house, as you can see on this lot would be located way out here, that the
house would be located here adjacent to his home. And knowing that will not be the case,
he does not object to the variance. The lot exceeds the required minimum square footage of
high land by three times the amount. The other variance is for the existing house on the lot
on the peninsula, which previously had this frontage and now it will not. That lot is over
five times the required size and that lot will continue to be accessed as an three lots on this
Item #10
Ronald C. & Donna J. Ripley
Page 2
piece of property. This piece of property, in total, will have a total of three lots with the
approval of this variance on over ten acres of land. The peninsula is over a third of a mile
long. There are three other lots on the other side that are accessed by a driveway that comes
through the Bostic property and those lots have existed for many years. In total, somewhere
in the future, you will have a total of six houses on this peninsula and the peninsula in total
exceeds about sixteen acres. If you can go back to the composite map, you will notice to the
north, there is a cul-de-sac, six lots around another peninsula that is far, far smaller in size.
So were not dealing with the situation here where there's any densification or creating lots
that barely meets the requirements. We're talking about huge lots but instead of having a
public street they're served by two driveways, one that will serve three lots here and another
that serves three lots here. And actually services this property to the north as well. The lots
in question meet every size criteria except for road frontage and the idea of putting a public
street down here just didn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. I know that
everyone that's been to the property recognize that. Those provisions have been adhered to.
There's a young lady who's going to speak who was well aware of this application or was
sent notice before this came through the first time. They live on this piece of property here.
I will simply note that the house that we will be constructing and the Ripley's intentions in
creating these two lots for their sons and their sons are fairly young, we don't anticipate that
there will be any homes built on this lot or this lot that is already is in existence for at least a
decade if not longer. If this had been now for planning purposes and also to the Bay Act and
the regulatory impositions that are coming down and have come down, the idea ofwhat's
going to happen approved and as time passes as the Ripley's sons become older and
employed, etc., that the opportunities will exist for them to build houses on this property.
It's been in the family for many years. Having said that, the conditions are acceptable. I
was going to mention that the house that Ripley built and can only be built in one spot has
been approved by the Bay Board and is a condition of this variance is over 120 feet from the
house located here on the Liu property and it's situated as such that the side of the house
where the garage is the closest point to the Liu home. So, it's over 120 feet away. We've
also agreed that we will plant some trees. It's all heavily wooded now. So we are going to
plant some additional trees with the Bay Act approvals and the Bay Act restrictions we can't
cut down trees anyway other than in the area where the footprint of the house is. The trees
that are there will remain and we're going to plan some additional trees. But, at 120 foot
separation is more than double the separation of that home to our north, I'm talking about
the home north of that. If there are any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
William Din: Are there any questions? Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Speakers?
Joseph Strange: We have speaker to speak in opposition, Alice Liu.
William Din: Welcome.
Alice Liu: I like your note up here.
William Din: Would you please identify yourself?
Alice Liu: My name is Alice Liu and I live at 4113 White Acre Road. I live at the home
that Eddie Bourdon had pointed out. Originally, we had moved into the home and soon after
Item #10
Ronald C. & DonnaJ. Ripley
Page 3
we had moved in there were some trees being cut down and plants put up. We started
thinking that there's going to be construction. I did talk to Ron and he had told me that he
was parceling out a portion for his son, which I thought was sweet and kind. He said he no
intention of ever moving that. You can take it out in a pine box. As much as I respect that I
know that circumstances can change. In our first Virginia Beach home was on the north end
of the beach, a small cottage. A neighboring lot got tom down and put multi million dollar
condos. The whole side of the street is now condominiums. So, in my opinion, this was
going to happen again. The Ripley's seem like a wonderful family. I didn't want to cause
any problems especially since we just moved there. We did get a notice. My husband told
me it came. I asked him where it was and he didn't know. I just left it at that. I figure that I
could talk to Ron and things should be okay. It didn't come up again until Mr. Bostic had
come over and asked me if! knew about it. At that time, I didn't know where the home
would be. I knew the lot being parceled out was next to ours. I did think that with having
over 10 acres, I would be able to see the home but it would be further out but as it turns out
it will be. We're not side by side or facing each other or back to back, the home is angled so
that when we are in our back yard and they are in their front yard or just looking out the side
of the house, they will be looking at us too. Currently, I thought when we bought the home I
considered our home as being part of that peninsula not part of the neighborhood. The
Thoroughgood area is very heavily developed and we moved from Little Neck, which had
larger acre homes and we were hesitant to buy here but figured that this lot is very private.
The back and the sides, the windows are built so that your view is of the woods with the
water. On the side that we have the home right beside us, we have no windows but one tiny
little window and some glass blocks with our master bedroomfbath. So, the feeling is very
private and that is what everybody says when they come to visit. I do appreciate that you
would make an effort to put up the trees and put up some kind of wall there. But, still, I
can't imagine not being able to see the home. I don't know if that is very snobbish. We
value the privacy and that's what we paid for. I think we would have looked at it slightly
differently if there were a house with homes on both sides as in the middle of the
neighborhood as opposed as in a park setting. That's all I have to say.
William Din: Thank you.
Robert Miller: Can you go to the site plan please where you showed the house? We just
talked about it being and I think Eddie said it was about 120 feet away from your house.
And, then the house on the other side, which you have no windows toward is 60 feet away.
Alice Liu: It is close.
Robert Miller: Are there any trees between the house and your house and the 60-foot away
house.
AJice Liu: Yeah. Their yard activity is off towards the side towards the front of our home,
which we really don't look out that much. They have a pool there. There's a fence. We
never see anybody. There are trees there so we don't really even see into the windows. If
they were to look out their windows they won't see anything in our house.
Robert Miller: I happen to live on a peninsula too and I am fortunate of having good
Item #10
Ronald C. & Donna J. Ripley
Page 4
neighbors just like you that are not very far away. I don't think they're 120 feet away.
There are trees in between and we planted more trees. There comfort level seems to be
there. I'm sure, like you said you're anticipating almost the worse case having to have some
previous experiences that don't sound like they were so good. I think what we're looking at
in this case particular with planting the additional trees feels like it would make it very
compatible to what you're wanting to have as your privacy.
Alice Liu: Can I ask you something? I don't know if you're qualified to know. My concern,
first I thought my opinion really didn't matter. It's his land and he can do whatever he
wants and I should not be able to say anything. But it was pointed out to me that it could
affect our property value if there was a home right next to us as opposed to the neighbor to
one side only. And, then I talked to our real estate agent and she said well, it would be more
appealing if it were not just marsh.
Robert Miller: In Virginia Beach anymore, in my opinion, everybody else can weigh in on
this. If it ever goes down it will be a miracle. It's going up. Everything is going up, not just
with your assessment but the values of our properties.
Alice Liu: I didn't expect our value of the property to go down. 1 just didn't want to not get
what we paid for the housing.
Robert Miller: Don't worry about that. Not anytime soon.
William Din: Okay. Are there any other questions?
Eugene Crabtree: Just one comment. We're talking about the possibility of a house not
even going in for ten years.
Alice Liu: We're not planning on moving.
Eugene Crabtree: You just said that you just moved a number of times already within the
City of Virginia Beach. I just want to know if you were going to be there in another ten
years?
Alice Liu: We're hoping this will be it.
Eugene Crabtree: And, the trees he's going to plant in ten years will probably totally
obscure your view. Don't look at it now, look at it ten years down the road. What are you
going to face ten years down the road? And, if that's the case, are you still in opposition to
it ten years down the road?
Alice Liu: He can't wait until ten years to bring this before the Committee?
William Din: Thank you very much. Do I have any other comments? Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: The variance provisions in Section 9.3 ofthe Subdivision Ordinance, I
think are clearly met with this case. You have a situation where a hardship is clearly created
Item #10
Ronald C. & Donna J. Ripley
Page 5
by the physical character of the property, the dimensions and it's typography. To suggest
that creating a lot ofthis size and configuration which is very, very similar to that of Mr. &
Mrs. Liu who own the property since last fall and to suggest that is going to be detrimental
to the character of the neighborhood and I think that's a burden that cannot be met in terms
of coming to a positive conclusion on that question. We don't think it will be detrimental
whatsoever to the character of the neighborhood. It will be keeping with the character of the
neighborhood and certainly is not going to negatively impact in spite of what Mrs. Marsh,
who is not an appraiser, may believe, the value of the Liu property or any other property that
is there. We're in a unique situation where this was to be developed with a road and
additional lots similar to those that are on the north side of the Liu property. One might be
able to try to make that argument. This is going to maintain the character. The trees will
remain. It's a forest. The only thing that is going to come out, are the trees where that one
little footprint of the house is. Everything else is going to remain the same. You can't take
the rest of the trees out because it is all in the RP A.
William Din: One question. Is the site of this house that is proposed, is that locked in to a
certain location?
Eddie Bourdon: IT is locked in that location both by the Bay Board, which felt from a water
quality standpoint because you got this finger that comes up in here that this is of the entire
piece of property this is the most appropriate place to locate it from a water quality
standpoint. It's locked in by the Bay Board at that location and with that condition that is in
your agenda that was handed out this morning we added a redundant protection that it will
be here with that same condition being part of this subdivision variance as well. So there is
no ability other than going back to the Bay Board and coming back through this process to
move that house elsewhere on the lot. And, frankly as I told Mr. Bostic there's no reason
why anyone would even want to do that and the Bay Board, I don't think would approve it.
This is the most logical place furthest away from receiving waters to put the house.
William Din: Thank you very much. Do we have any discussion? Are we ready for a
motion?
Robert Miller: Well, I certain respect the neighbors and the process that we've honored to
bring this back in front of us. I think that's one of the good things about dealing with a lot of
these fine eye issues. The Bay Act, in my opinion deals with a lot of fine elements where it
puts extra positions of brackets of a piece of/and to say that this is where you can develop it
and you can't develop in other areas. Respecting the neighborhood and the other qualities
that are in that neighborhood, I would make a motion that we approve this.
Donald Horsley: Second.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Virginia Wesleyan College - Conditional Use Permit (student dormitory)
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Virginia Wesleyan College for a Conditional
Use Permit for a student dormitory on property located at 5817 Wesleyan Drive
(GPIN 14680326460000). DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE
.
Considerations:
The Virginia Wesleyan College is proposing to construct a three (3) story, 84-bed
student residence hall and two (2) 5-unit row-house style residences, each two
(2) stories, with a total of 40 beds. Additional parking is also proposed for use of
the students and their visitors. These buildings will be occupied year-round. A
Board of Zoning Appeals Variance will be required for the 84-bed structure due to
the height (proposed at approximately 40 feet in height).
The impact that this request will have on adjacent properties is negligible. These
buildings will not be highly visible from any adjacent properties nor from any
rights-of-way. The design of the proposed buildings is in keeping with the
existing structures and the location of the new dormitories and is logical in terms
of the overall design of the campus.
Staff recommended approval. There was opposition to the request.
.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the Concept
Plan entitled, "Virginia Wesleyan College, Conditional Use Permit,"
prepared by C. Allan Bamforth, Jr. Engineer- Surveyor, dated January 2,
2004, and the layout plan entitled "WVC proposed Apartment Style
Residence Hall + Row Houses, Village 3 Complex," prepared by Cutler
Design.
2. The overall size and massing of the proposed dormitories shall be
substantially as depicted in the rendering entitled, "WVC Proposed
Virginia Wesleyan College

The campus is a mix of mature wooded areas, open grassed areas
and buildings associated with college campus learning and living.
The location for the proposed building and parking is predominately
grassed. Some trees will be removed for the expansion of the
parking lot. There do not appear to be any significant environmental
features within the areas proposed for additional development. The
property is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
Summary of Proposa
The Virginia Wesleyan College is proposing to construct a three (3) story, 84-bed
student residence hall and two (2) 5-unit row-house style residences, each two (2)
stories, with a total of 40 beds. Additional parking is also proposed for use of the
students and their visitors. These buildings will be occupied year-round. A Board of
Zoning Appeals Variance will be required for the 84-bed structure due to the height
(proposed at approximately 40 feet in height).

The fof/owing represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
. Impact to surrounding properties.
. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being within the Primary Residential
Area. The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area
focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and
aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense,
the established type, size, and relationship of land use, both residential and non-
residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when
considering future development.
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified above. The proposal's
strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are
VIRGINIA WESLEYAN COLLEGE
Agenda Item# 4

(1) The impact that this request will have on adjacent properties is negligible. These
buildings will not be highly visible from any adjacent properties nor from any
rights-of-way. The design of the proposed buildings is in keeping with the
existing structures and the location of the new dormitories and is logical in terms
of the overall design of the campus.
(2) The Comprehensive Plan policies recognize this portion of the designated
Primary Residential Area as suitable for the expansion of a higher education
facility. This student dormitory expansion is an appropriate use on this site and
will further enhance the college campus' existing character and quality of life. The
proposal is consistent with the existing campus development and nearby
residential uses. The following provisions of the proposal will ensure that this
expansion remains consistent with the Plan's policies established for this area
and that impact on adjacent properties will be negligible: appropriate campus
design and integration of the proposed buildings; compatible architecture and
building materials similar to the existing campus architecture; efficient and safe
internal access and circulation for both pedestrians and vehicles; incorporation of
green space into the development; sufficient landscaping; and acceptable
outdoor lighting that does not impact adjacent residential uses.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request.
Conditions
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the Concept Plan
entitled, "Virginia Wesleyan College, Conditional Use Permit," prepared by C.
Allan Bamforth, Jr. Engineer - Surveyor, dated January 2, 2004, and the layout
plan entitled "VWC proposed Apartment Style Residence Hall + Row Houses,
Village 3 Complex," prepared by Cutler Design.
2. The overall size and massing of the proposed dormitories shall be substantially
as depicted in the rendering entitled, "VWC Proposed Apartment Style
Residence Hall + Row Houses, Perspective Showing New Residence and Row
Houses to Village 3 Complex," prepared by Cutler Design.
3. All outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the premises;
said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded, and focused away from
adjoining properties.

Item #4
Virginia Wesleyan College
Conditional Use Permit
5817 Wesleyan Drive
District 2
Kempsville
March 10,2004
REGULAR
Dorothy Wood: We'll be moving on to our regular agenda. The first item in our regular
agenda is Item #4 Virginia Wesleyan College. It's a Conditional Use Permit for a student
dormitory. Is there someone here representing Virginia Wesleyan?
William Joseph: Yes, I am.
Dorothy Wood: Would you come up sir and tell us?
William Joseph: Good afternoon. My name is William Joseph. I'm the Vice President
for Business at Virginia Wesleyan College. .
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Mr. Joseph.
William Joseph: Thank you. We appreciate your taking a look at our request for a
Conditional Use Permit. What we would like to do is construct dormitories to house 124
residential students. For the past three years now, we've had to find student housing off
campus. Although college housing is growing a little bit, we've seen a change from
commuter population to a residential population and this appears to be an ever increasing
thing. The college opened in 1966 primarily as a residential college. Weare expanding
that capability to handle the residential population. I'm open to any questions.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Joseph. We're very proud of having Virginia Wesleyan
College in our City. Are there any questions ofMr. Joseph? Thank you Mr. Joseph. I
believe there is opposition.
Joseph Strange: We have other people speaking in support.
Dorothy Wood: Okay. Thank you Mr. Joseph.
William Joseph: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support, we have a Bruce Vaughan.
Dorothy Wood: Sir, you have to come up to the podium to speak please.
Item #4
Virginia Wesleyan College
Page 2
Bruce Vaughan: Hi. I'm Bruce Vaughan. I'm also with the college. I indicated that 1
would speak if questions were raised. I'm in support.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Also in support to speak, if needed, is Kevin Kozak.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Kevin.
Kevin Kozak: Thank you. My name is Kevin Kozak, Cutler Associates. I'm an
architect with the design builder that has been contracted with Virginia Wesleyan and I'm
here to speak if any questions arise.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Kevin Kozak: Thanks.
Joseph Strange: To speak in opposition, we have Michael Tumer.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Mr. Turner.
Michael Turner: Thank you. Good day to you all. My main opposition to this is that the
previous construction has been done by Wesleyan has caused erosion.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Turner?
Ed Weeden: For the record, please identify yourself.
Michael Turner: I'm sorry. I'm Michael Turner. I live at 5964 Blackpoo1e Lane and I'm
just a dude. Previous construction of Wesleyan has caused erosion of the properties
along B1ackpoo1e Lane that border their property. We share a common waterway that
I've had looked at by a civil engineer. He has told me that the waterway was not pre-
existing before the subdivision was built that is it caused by runoff. As they've done
construction over at Wesleyan on previous projects, it has caused silt and other stuff to
flow into that waterway raising the level of the waterway. I moved in six years ago it
was about two feet deep. It's now three inches deep and it's pretty sad to watch ducks
walk where they used to swim. This is forcing the water out on the banks. I've lost
about three feet of property frontage in my backyard due to all this contamination.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Turner. Are there any questions for Mr. Turner? Mr.
Din?
William Din: Can you show us where you live and where this waterway is impacted? .
Item #4
Virginia Wesleyan College
Page 3
Dorothy Wood: Sir, there's a pointer right there. Mr. Turner? There's a laser pointer
right there.
Michael Turner: I can't read it from there. Let me get closer real quick. Okay, right
about there. And, right on that property line is where that waterway runs. It's mainly
swamp back there.
William Din: How far away is that from the existing road or parking area that they're
using?
Michael Turner: I don't see a scale on there. But, it would appear that it is about 200-
300 yards, judging distances from where my backyard is to where I can see their
buildings over through the woods.
William Din: Do you see anything running off into that area? Is it because of natural
erosion or is it because of the construction that may have gone on previously?
Michael Turner: What I believe it is and I'm no expert in this area is the loose dirt
created by construction that has been run off in the rain and dnrins into that drainage
ditch.
William Din: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Is there anyone else? Barry?
Barry Knight: Mr. Turner, if you get some assurances from the architect and the site
review pròcess that they would put up silt fences and they would have good inspections
on the site, where no additional sedimentation would come to that ditch, would you
oppose this rezoning?
Michael Turner: Most likely not. One of my big issues today is to start a dialogue with
Wesleyan about that shared waterway. I've been advised that the only people who are
responsible for that waterway are the property owners bordering it, since it was not a pre-
existing water and it's not a wetland. I was hoping to start a dialogue with them about
what we can do to improve that waterway.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions? Thank you Mr. Turner. Mr. Joseph,
would you like to rebut please?
William Joseph: If! may.
Dorothy Wood: Would you give your name please?
Kevin Kozak: Oh, I'm sorry. Kevin Kozak.
Item #4
Virginia Wesleyan College
Page 4
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Kevin Kozak: Although I can't speak directly to the condition seeing how we weren't
actually the construction contractor who did the previous project. As part of the review
process with the City, we will have to file with Development Services Center which
would mean a full order of conditions related to any wetlands, silt fences in terms of
erosion during the construction process. And, also as part of the Chesapeake Bay
Preservation Act there are also steps that need to be taken after construction, as far as
water runoff and any other drainage issues related to the site with anything that is
disturbed by the actual construction process. So, as far as that is concerned, anything
certainly that has an affect on during construction will be reviewed by the City and done
in accordance with constructions practices.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Would you please answer questions?
Kevin Kozak: Sure.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions for Mr. Kozak? Thank you.
Kevin Kozak: Thanks.
Dorothy Wood: Is there any discussion?
Robert Miller: Very simply, Mr. Joseph, I suggest you get with Mr. Turner and see what
you all can do with that waterway. We certainly want to make sure that Stormwater
Management Facilities like that are maintained and I know you do too. If it has an
easement over it perhaps there are public responsibilities there. I don't know and Mr.
Turner didn't either. That would be the only thing that I would want unless someone else
would like to make a motion, they can do it or I'll be happy to at the appropriate time.
Dorothy Wood: Please make a motion sir.
Robert Miller: I'd make a motion that we approve the application.
Barry Knight: Second.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Bob Miller and seconded by Barry Knight that we approve
the application. The vote is open.

CAPTAIN KEELEY:
I am understanding here that this development down at the Beach is an
issue of redevelopment and, under the Navyls AICUZ Program, this
applies as a non-conforming pre-existing use.
I would like to applaud the developer and the City Staff for taking
what is presently five units of dwellings down to two units. So,
thus, you are decreasing density and that's what we asked for in our
instructions.
That's why we stand here in support of this redevelopment.

How about the soccer?
CAPTAIN TOM KEELEY:
The soccer, I think I'm on record of last

field as long as there is not a big clubhouse and the World Cup of
Soccer is not held there.

Agenda Item # 7
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc. - Conditional Use Permit (off-site parking lot)
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc. for a Conditional Use
Permit for an off-site parking lot on property located at 2149 Vista Circle (GPIN
14898893040000). DISTRICT 5 - L YNNHAVEN
This request was deferred at the March 23 City Council meeting at the request of
the applicant.
.
Considerations:
The applicant proposes to develop the site with a parking lot to accommodate
parking for a proposed restaurant planned directly across the street. The
conditional use permit is for the parking lot only; the restaurant is not part of this
application.
The submitted conceptual site layout and landscape plan depicts 18 parking
spaces proposed for the site. The Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District requires
a 15-foot setback along property lines adjacent to any district in which dwellings
are permitted as a principal or conditional use. Category IV screening is also
required within the setback. The submitted conceptual plan does not depict the
required setback or landscaping along the northern and southern property lines.
In order for the applicant to develop the site as submitted he will have to obtain a
variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. The proposed parking lot will be
developed under certain provisions of the City Code section pertaining to
Commercial Parking Lots, Section 23-58.
The applicant proposes to retain the live oak trees that currently exist on the site.
In the event that the live oaks cannot be retained, the applicant has volunteered
to donate funds to the Tree Restoration - Shore Drive Area Trust Fund. Street
frontage landscaping will consist of a mix of live oak trees and beach grasses.
Staff recommended approval. There was opposition to the request.
.
Recommendations:
Jeffrey Francis
Page 2 of 2
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0 with 1
abstention to approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed and landscaped substantially in accordance
with the submitted Conceptual Site Layout and Landscape Plan of Vista
Circle Restaurant, prepared by MSA. P.C., dated 12/01/03, provided the
applicant obtains a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals for the
required setback and landscaping. Said plan is on file in the City of
Virginia Beach Planning Department. If the applicant does not obtain a
variance then the site layout shall be redesigned to meet the required
setback and landscaping.
2. The parking lot shall be developed in accordance with the City Code
section pertaining to Commercial Parking Lots, Section 23-58, subsection
(f)(1), (f)(2), (f)(4) , (f)(5), and (f)(8). Alternative pavement treatments may
be allowed in order to protect and save the live oak trees on the site.
3. The applicant shall provide a lighting plan for the parking for review by
staff. The lighting shall be low level and designed so as not to spillover
onto adjacent properties or the City right-af-way.

There are live oak trees on the site. The applicant proposes to retain
the trees and incorporate them into the site design. If the trees cannot
be saved. the applicant has volunteered to donate funds to the Tree
Restoration - Shore Drive Area Trust Fund.
AICUZ:
The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
The applicant proposes to develop the site with a parking lot to accommodate parking
for a proposed restaurant planned directly across the street. The submitted conceptual
site layout and landscape plan depicts 18 parking spaces proposed for the site. The
Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District requires a 15-foot setback along property lines
adjacent to any district in which dwellings are permitted as a principal or conditional use.
Category IV screening is also required within the setback. The submitted conceptual
plan does not depict the required setback or landscaping along the northern and
southern property lines. In order for the applicant to develop the site as submitted he will
have to obtain a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. The proposed parking lot
shall also be developed under certain provisions of the City Code section pertaining to

The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
. Consistency with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and Shore
Drive Corridor Plan.
. Compatibility with the surrounding uses.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a Primary Residential Area. The land-
use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of
the stable residential neighborhoods located within this area. However, this particular
site is located within the Waterman's Walk sub-area. A variety of appropriately scaled
mixed uses including marinas, restaurants, multiple-family units, and limited specialty
retail shops are envisioned for the area.
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staffs evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified above. The proposal's
strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are
(1) The request to establish a parking lot for the proposed restaurant directly across
Vista Circle is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan I Shore Drive Corridor
JEFFREY K. FRANCIS, INC.
Agenda Item # 7
Page 4
policies and uses recommendations for the designated Waterman's Walk sub-
area portion of the Shore Drive corridor. The proposed restaurant and off-site
parking lot will promote the level of community aesthetics, economic vitality,
quality physical environment, and quality of life that the Plan policies envision for
this area.
(2) The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding mix of resort uses such as
restaurants, marinas and multiple-family condominiums.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request subject to the following
conditions.
Conditions
1. The site shall be developed and landscaped substantially in accordance with the
submitted Conceptual Site Layout and Landscape Plan of Vista Circle
Restaurant, prepared by MSA. P.C., dated 12/01/03, provided the applicant
obtains a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals for the required setback
and landscaping. Said plan is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department. If the applicant does not obtain a variance then the site layout shall
be redesigned to meet the required setback and landscaping.
2. The parking lot shall be developed in accordance with the City Code section
pertaining to Commercial Parking Lots, Section 23-58, subsection (f)(1), (f)(2),
(f)(4), (f)(5), and (f)(8). Alternative pavement treatments may be allowed in order
to protect and save the live oak trees on the site.
3. The applicant shall provide a lighting plan for the parking for review by staff. The
lighting shall be low level and designed so as not to spillover onto adjacent
properties or the City right-of-way.
NOTE:
Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. The site plan
submitted with this conditional use permit may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes. Conditional use permits must be
activated within 12 months of City Council approval. See
Section 220(g) of the City Zoning Ordinance for further
information.

CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #7 Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc. Is there a representative
here or applicant?
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Vice Chairman, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney
representing the applicant. We're fine with the conditions but I do believe there may be
someone here who wishes to speak.
William Din: Okay. Is this in favor or opposing us? Is there opposition to this item?
Joseph Strange: Yeah. We have two people signed up.
William Din: We'll have to drop this down to the regular agenda item.
REGULAR
Dorothy Wood: Next item please.
Joseph Strange: The next item is Item #7, which is a Conditional Use Permit for a
parking lot and the applicant is Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Bourdon?
=
Eddie Bourdon: Madame Chairperson, again for the record, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia
Beach attorney representing Mr. Jeff Francis who is here this afternoon. I understand the
confusion since it was on the consent agenda previously. This piece of property subject
to this application is in the B-4 Zoning District. It is located on the east side of Vista
Circle. The applicant, as you all heard this morning and is written up in your staff
evaluation is developing a restaurant on the Lynnhaven River on the piece of property
across the street from the subject property. That development is consistent with the
recommendations ofULI Shore Drive Corridor. This is the area that is characterized as
Waterman's Walk sub area. The Chick's Oyster Bar/Restaurant is located in this area
along with some other restaurants over to the west. The area does have some parking
problems and my client has acquired this piece of property here that does not have a
building on it as is depicted. However, the owners of this property did have approval for
a duplex to be constructed there and that's obviously won't happen which given the
circumstances, this situation I think is a betterment. It is certainly more consistent with
Item #7
Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Page 2
what the City's vision for this area is as opposed to putting yet additional residential
development in here. The staffhas recommended approval of this use, which will just be
a parking lot for the restaurant. The conditions as were discussed this morning and I had
the same comments that you all heard regarding the desire of my client to save at least
some ofthe Live Oak trees that are on the property. In order to be able to do that it will
be necessary, in our opinion to be able use some alternative pavement treatments on site.
Maybe not in total but in some areas of the site in order to protect the root system of
some of the trees that are present. My client is accepting of Condition #2 as amended.
So, all the conditions are acceptable. We will be proceeding to the Board of Zoning
Appeals as well, which has been set forth in your write up. I'll be happy to answer any
questions. I would say also that the Chesapeake Bay Board has already approved the
plans for the restaurant on the property across the street.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon?
Ron?
Ronald Ripley: My question is mainly related more to the restaurant. It's curiosity. The
Waterman's Walk concept vision's possibility of time, you know connectivity along the
water. And my question is this, is the application thinking in those terms? Are they
receptive to that idea if that were to materialize? I realize there's nothing materializing at
the moment but it's a vision of the plan.
Eddie Bourdon: They certainly are and we got a significant area that is shown here
which will be an open area behind the restaurant where there could be connections made
through at some form or fashion if that comes about but in the meantime we're obviously
going to be using it for space. He is certainly opened to that concept. The question is
when it will be able to come to pass.
Ronald Ripley: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: It can put additional area on the back if the Chesapeake Bay Board will
allow it. If there's a project that comes in to allow connections along the water, that will
be a uniform type situation and we will certainly be able to do it. The thought process
that I've heard spoken of is that it will be along the water. We're certainly willing to do
that.
Ronald Ripley: I have another question too?
Dorothy Wood: Go ahead.
=
Ronald Ripley: Regarding the site itself, the topography of the property is it below the
grade it needs to be or above the grade? The reason why I ask is because if the applicant
is going to attempt to use some alternative surface cover for the purpose of trying to save
the Live Oaks in there, if fill needs to be brought in that would probably be good. We
have to cut it out. My question is do you know the elevation of the site at this point?
Item #7
Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Page 3
Eddie Bourdon: The piece of property is not a low piece of property. It is one that
should not involve any significant amount offill at all. It's on a dune, if you will and
I've been on the site. It doesn't appear to me, of course, everything is very sandy so you
don't have water standing anywhere. There's a lot of absorbsion to begin with but it is
definitely not a low piece of property.
Ronald Ripley: I hope if this is approved, I hope the City can find a way to work with the
applicant to try to preserve that because it is a very important aspect of Shore Drive and
I'm on the Shore Drive Committee. It's a topic that is discussed every month.
Eddie Bourdon: You don't have to tell me about it.
Ronald Ripley: Every month it's discussed. In fact, they just finished counting all the
Live Oaks along the corridor so they could have a pretty good idea of the pattem of
growth of Live Oaks in that area, so attempting to preserve and I would encourage it.
Eddie Bourdon: This property, and not to disagree in any way with your observation Mr.
Ripley, it clearly doesn't have much visibility back where it is but we would certainly
like to work to preserve the trees. That was stated in the application and we appreciate it.
We had already brought it to the attention of the Planning Department conflict that exists
when you start talking about asphalting parking lots with the root system of Live Oaks.
Ronald Ripley: I think you might see the rest of the neighborhood participating in
counting the rest of the Live Oaks that are off the corridor. That's the next discussion.
Eddie Bourdon: The issue and I'll put it all on the table. I'm fairly comfortable that some
of the other restaurants in the area have had to pave their parking lots. You may have
some objection to this one not being paved but we would prefer to try work to save the
trees and we understand and agree with blanket paving could create problems in that
regard.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Are there any other questions of Mr.
Bourdon? Mr. Din?
William Din: Mr. Bourdon could you sort of address if you pave this area how the
parking will be arranged in there to keep it orderly?
=
Eddie Bourdon: Well the plan that is shown which is not fully engineered but if it is
approved which does require variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals. If they are
not granted then we must have a greater buffer on the sides. Mr. Harness who's here will
talk to you about his property here. This property is up against the parking lot for a high-
rise condominium. We believe that the Board of Zoning Appeals and with staff's okay
with the variance to get it closer. The configuration is that you got drive out and you got
marked parking spaces. There will not be parking there. There will also be a fence. It
will be maintenance ftee, fifty percent opaque fence with landscaping all the way around
Item #7
Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Page 4
as one of the conditions requires that we have a gate. It's a portable gate so it will be a
secured lot so there won't be people parking here on other people's property what have
you but between the landscaping, the fencing and then depending upon the surface of the
parking lot the ability to actually put marked lines out may be somewhat compromised.
But because it's not a parking lot for just general public, it's just for the restaurant and
more than likely if the restaurant is successful you'll see it will be valet type parking so
it's all controlled by the property owner. The situation that has existed down there does
exist today with people just parking on vacant lots and parking all over the place, which I
think Mr. Harness has one of that as his concems.
William Din: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Do we have any other speakers Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: We have two speakers in opposition. The first speaker is Howard W.
Harness. He's representing the Lynnhaven Colony Civic League.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Mr. Harness.
Howard Harness: Good afternoon Madame Chairman and Board members. My name is
Howard Harness and I live a 2001 Cove Road, Virginia Beach. I'm really here wearing
two hats. I own the adjacent property. There are two lots right here and I own both of
those and they have little houses on them. My concern is that I'm not against him putting
parking there and I think it's an addition to the neighborhood. What I am against is that
under the Shore Drive Overlay and a Conditional Use Permit I should be allowed 15 foot
of green along all property lines. That is what I'm really looking for. The Oaks that they
speak about right here, that Oak tree is approximately four feet off my property line,
which would mean it's probably ten feet if you got the setbacks. There would be plenty
of room for that Live Oak without anything and giving me my setbacks. Up here at this
comer most of that is Pine and most of those are actually on my property and the right-of-
way for the City. The Oak tree right here sits right on the right-of-way of the City and
the property owner. I don't know whether or not you got my letter with the pictures and
stuff on them. Did you get a copy of it? If you look at those pictures, you can see how
critical parking is. During the summer those people park on my property, in front of my
house. You know the problem? So, what were asking is not only myself but also the
Lynnhaven Colony Civic League is asking that you have designated parking there and a
hard surface. We would not like gravel. If you put a hard surface in you can do it with
pavers or bricks but different type pavers you can make the lines with and if we're
looking at 18 parking places on this lot there should not be a problem.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Harness.
Howard Harness: Thank you. Are there any questions?

Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions for Mr. Harness? Ron?

Ronald Ripley: You say you own both of those parcels?
Howard Harness: Yes sir.
Ronald Ripley: Do you live in those parcels?
Howard Harness: No sir, I don't.
Ronald Ripley: You rent them out?
Howard Harness: Yes, school teachers live there.
Ronald Ripley: You have some tenants in there basically?
Howard Harness: All the time.
Ronald Ripley: Okay.
Howard Harness: Two year lease. They don't change and usually it's one school teacher
after the other. Are there any other questions?
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Harness. I'm sorry, Jan?
Janice Anderson: Thank you. You don't have a problem with the use next door being a
parking lot?
Howard Harness: Not in get my setback
Janice Anderson: Just the setback.
Howard Harness: Without the setback the noise and everything and I have complaints
from the tenants that at 2 o'clock in the morning they're starting their cars, they're loud.
When they back out the lights shine through the windows and things like that. He has his
setback. I have no problem. He's got the right to use his property anyway he sees fit.
Janice Anderson: They're parking on this property now?
Howard Harness: Before Mr. Francis chained it off, Chick's patrons use to use it. If you
look at those pictures, I mean there were hundreds of cars parked on that lot if you couId
believe that but they're parked on my property and anywhere else they can park.
Janice Anderson: With the proposal would it being fenced in don't you think that would
keep them from parking on your property if it's a fenced in designated parking?
=
Item #7
Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Page 6
Howard Harness: The fence would stop them from driving over the property but that's
not going to stop them from doing whatever. When it's a parking like it is now, it's a
gravel parking lot, there's all kinds of bottles, trash out there all the time. I mean
everything from oil containers to baby diapers. That's not right. The Overlay was there
to protect the residential area from the commercial area. He can get his 18 parking spots
there and give me 15 feet there.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: Do you have anyone else in your group that would like to stand in
support?
Howard Harness: The Condo Association is here in support.
Joseph Strange: How about from your group?
Howard Harness: No. I'm speaking for the Lynnhaven Colony Civic League and also for
myself as the adjoining property owner.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Harness. Will you please call the next?
Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Jacob W. Miller. He is the President of the Lesner
Cove Condominium Association.
Dorothy Wood: Good afternoon Mr. Miller. We're happy to have you with us.
Jacob Miller: Madame Chairperson, I'm Jacob W. Miller as you indicated. I'm the
President of the Lesner Cove Condominium Association. The property located at 2140
Vista Circle is a 24-unit condominium. One of the pictures showed the side of our
building. It's a five-story building with parking on the first floor and remaining four
floors are the living units. I'm the owner and occupant of one of the condo units and
we're situation directly across from 2149 Vista Circle, which is the property that the
restaurant building will be built upon. I'm aware of the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and of
the Waterman's Walk portion, which deals with development in Vista Circle area. My
association finds it commendable that the City is seeking a way for responsibility
development of this entire area. However, the plan for development of the parking
facility has two features which two members of our association find objectionable. First
there is no provision for the 15 foot landscaped setback, which has been mentioned
previously. Now, one of the previous speakers spoke that our condominium backs up to
the parking lot. We back up just to our parking lot. It's a parking floor. The first floor of
our entire building is a parking facility and there are four units on the floors above there.
=
Ed Weeden: You're just about out of time.
Item #7
Jeffrey K. Francis, Inc.
Page 7
Jacob Miller: Okay. I'll say this. We would like to object to the 15 foot and we will
object to this at the Board of Zoning Appeals. Also, we too, are strongly in favor of a
hard surface parking lot. If you act favorably on this request, we hope that you include
the provisions that your staffhas suggested.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any questions? Thank you very much.
Jacob Miller: Madame Chairman, let me say that I did bring along with me letters from
each of our occupants that support this position. Who shall I give them too?
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Weeden will take them. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: No other speakers.
Dorothy Wood: No other speakers? Mr. Bourdon, would you like to speak to us again?
Eddie Bourdon: Just briefly.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: The statements that were made with regard to the trash and the people
parking on the property, Mr. Francis has not had control of this piece of property. He did
not own the property when those uses were taking place or those problems were
occurring as Mr. Harness has so indicated to me this morning. Since Mr. Francis has
kept the property secure people aren't parking there. I just wanted to make sure that you
all understand that he's not one that pennitted issues that may have existed in the past. I
think Mr. Harness will agree he has been a good neighbor in that regard. He's cleaned up
the situation. There's a parking lot here with landscaping and completely enclosed and
fenced in with trash receptacles present. Those problems that he's speaking ofwon't
exist. As far as the Lesner Cove situation is concern, they do have some outdoor parking
that does adjoin the property but Mr. Miller is correct in saying that the first floor of the
building is all parking, which adjoins his property as well. And, parking is what this area
needs. It certainly needs a lot more than it needs another condominium on this particular
piece of property. We are trying to create as much parking as we can, that would be
controlled parking. At the same time trying to preserve the trees. If you conceive asphalt
out there the trees are definitely knocked out. They won't be able to be preserved. The
bottom line that this Board is going to deal with is the land use and I think everyone and
the speakers as well, concluded and concur that using this property for controlled parking
is the best land use for this piece of property in this area given the recommendations of
our Comprehensive Plan.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Bourdon, the setbacks will go to another Board will it not?
=
Eddie Bourdon: That is correct. That is a subject of an application that will go to the
Item #7

Board of Zoning Appeals. Both the gentlemen that spoke are fully aware of that process.
This is not the forum where that will be detennined.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Bourdon? Mr. Din?
William Din: Eddie, if you go back to the plan drawing, it doesn't show any landscaping
on the edges where it abuts, is there landscaping there?
Eddie Bourdon: There would have to be. Yes sir. What is shown there is just a drawing
that was done. Personally, what we had intended to do was to put a fence up but I'm
certain that even the Board of Zoning Appeals is going to, if they permit us to have any
variance in to that 15 feet, they're going to require landscaping to go in. Adjacent to the
condominium over here, they already, as you all saw in one of the pictures, they got a
solid privacy fence that's already up there. It is somewhat questionable as to what benefit
would accrue putting landscaping up against that fence? But, that will be something that
the Zoning Administrator and her staff and the BZA will be determined as to what they
want us to do in that area. Against Mr. Harness' property, there is no fencing and it
clearly does need to be something probably more down there but the specifics we will
have to work out. I am confident that along here we will be doing some heavy
landscaping along Mr. Harness' property but I'm not sure what ultimately be the
determination as to how best to deal with the portion of the parking lot that adjoins the
condominium and their privacy fence.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon?
William Din: Can you point out where Shore Drive is on that?
Eddie Bourdon: Do we have an overall map?
William Din: I guess the access to the parking lot. Can you just show me that?
Eddie Bourdon: This is Vista Circle and Shore Drive is out here.
William Din: I meant just Vista Circle.
Eddie Bourdon: Oh okay. These are the two access points that are shown on the plan to
Vista Circle here and here.
William Din: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: This is the restaurant, the parking lot for the restaurant and Vista Circle
and the extra parking directly across the street.

William Din: Thank you.

Dorothy Wood: Ron?
Ronald Ripley: How much land area would you be able to provide for landscaping and
those two proposed fenced areas? One is an existing fence.
Eddie Bourdon: It will depend on what we can obtain approval from the Board of Zoning
Appeals. The Shore Drive Overlay District, which I won't get into all of what is
intended, I really don't think that is what they were looking at but if we have to provide
15 feet then we have to provide 15 feet. More than likely, along Mr. Harness' side we'll
be providing less than 15 but we'll have to provide something, whether it's five, ten, we
don't know. Along the side with the five story condominium and the existing solid
privacy fence, me personally, I don't see that is nearly as crucial when you compare the
need for parking and the need to try to preserve the trees. And the preserving of the trees
taking some land as well. The area needs parking and it's trying to strike a balance as to
what we want more. The trees? The green space where they're no trees? Where there is
a tree we're going to create green space. That's the whole idea. We feel that is more
important especially against the project. That is something that will begin with staff at
the BZA.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Gene, did you have a question of Mr. Bourdon?
Eugene Crabtree: No.
Dorothy Wood: Me there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Jan?
Janice Anderson: Is there a requirement for fencing?
Eddie Bourdon: That is a requirement. That is one of the conditions. Yes. It's
Condition #2, I believe it's (f)(4) that deals with fencing.
Janice Anderson: It was just under that number. I didn't see it specifically. Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Isthereanydiscussion? Jan?
=
Janice Anderson: I believe it's a proper use in the area and there are several reasons.
First of all, the zoning is B-4. It is in a mix use district at Waterman's Walk. They're
suggesting restaurants, condos. Marina is that kind of use there. I think it would
alleviate the parking problem that they have now by designating area for parking rather
than not having this site as a parking lot. Then you would have it up and down the streets
and allover the neighborhood. There are existing restaurants on the other side of the
property. I believe that the property will probably be a valet parking and that will help
and relieve the concerns of the neighbors. If you have valet parking, then you have a
couple of people from the restaurant, taking the cars over there, and the two bring it back.
You're not going to have your client customers coming out of the restaurant running next
door through the properties. So actually that will probably be a valet system. All you
Item #7

Page 10
will have will be the one or two employees going to that parking lot and dropping the car
off and picking it back up. So probably right there you alleviate the noise problem from
many that parking there or any trash problems or anything like that. With it being fenced
it in I think it will help the situation that it is now. The gentleman that is doing the
application didn't have this property before, but it was being used as a parking lot by
every body anyway. I do understand that the next-door property owners concem with the
setback but I think that will be more property addressed at the Board of Zoning. But so
far, as a use of a parking lot, I think this is a proper use in that district and will actually
help the area. I would be supportive in leaving in the change that we had suggested about
alternate paving especially in that area. It's all sand and those Live Oaks and I guess
your balancing two concerns that people have but I think if we're not asking for all to be
alternative parking but in designated areas where you could possibly save those Live Oak
and I think it should be used.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Gene?
Eugene Crabtree: I agree with Jan. As far as the alternative parking surfacing is
concemed and the Live Oak trees, we got to start somewhere. So, I think this is the place
to start and recommend an alternative surfacing so we can preserve the trees. I realize
that it hasn't been done in the past but if we don't start somewhere it's not ever going to
get started. Therefore, I think this is an appropriate place to do that.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Ron?
Ronald Ripley: I think the word "trade-off' is probably a good term. I think landscaping
guidelines are excellent. I think we have some real good landscaping guidelines that are
being deployed around the City. As Mr. Scott has pointed out to us many times the infill
sites are very difficult to develop. They do require some flexibility, I believe. I think
with the trade-off of attempting to save these trees, it's far more beautiful than some little
low lying bushes along the edge of a fence. I think, by right, you can cut those trees
down anyway. He doesn't need to ask anybody. He can just go and cut them right down
and be done with it, so there's an attempt here to really try to maintain the character of
the neighborhood. It's an appropriate use for the restaurant. I believe the restaurant
requires this for their parking, I would think to meet the size of the restaurant that's
intended to go there. And, I'm respectful of what the two gentlemen spoke. I think given
the intensity of this little area, I think this is a very appropriate use and I think it will fit in
well and I'm going to support it also.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Ronald Ripley: I did take it before the Shore Drive Advisory Committee and advised
them of it coming up. I didn't hear anybody having any great heartburn with it. I just
wanted to make you aware of that.

Subject: Conditional use permit

Jan. 31,2004
Howard Harness
2001 Cove Rd. 23451
I am the adjacent property owner, owning parcel (B gpin 1489-88-4911 ) and
parcel ( C gpin #1489-88-8440) to the application of Jeffrey Frances, INC. (#003-215-
CUP-2003 ) for a conditional use permit for an offsite parking lot.
First let me say that I'm against a parking lot next to my two residential lots, I
believe it decreases my properties value. But Mr. Frances, has a right to utilize his
property as is best for him. (Within the City guide lines and without variances.)
The City and Planning Dept. has setup protection for the home owner in the
Shore Drive Overlay District ( SEC.1704 Item B ) requiring a fifteen foot minimum yard
( Setback) shall be required along all lot lines with category IV landscape screening,
shall be required no other uses or structures shall be permitted, within the yard.
If the Planning Commission grants the offsite parking lot, I expect the Planning
Commission to enforce the fifteen foot yard set back and allow no variance.
Now let me address the parking lot, the drawing I saw at the Planning Dept..
shows a gravel parking lot (no 15' setback along lot lines) for ( 18) spaces. I would
hope that the city code requires paved parking with defined parking spaces. ( It should be
the same as the beach area) Ifit's not it turns out to be a mess, People Park everywhere,
even on my property. (I've enclosed a couple of pictures incl-1 )
These pictures were taken before Mr. Frances, roped off his property it was being used by
the Chix, patrons. You can see that the cars were everywhere including on my property.
I would appreciate your attention in this matter, I'm not against the restaurant being built,
and I think it will be a good addition to the area. But if the Planning Commission gives
him the offsite parking, I would expect the Planning commission and the City to enforce
the existing regulations on setbacks and allow no variance, and to make the parking area
paved and stripped.(it could and should be attractive)

parking lot located at
2]49 Vista Circle
(GPIN14898893040000)
Members of the Planning Commission:
The property located at 2140 Vista Circle is a 24 unit condominium and I am the owner
and occupant of one of the condominiums. Our property is situated across from the lot at
2149 Vista Circle that is the subject of this hearing and upon which I am told the
applicant plans to erect a two story building with a 2995 square foot footprint. As I
understand it, the building will house a restaurant.
The applicant seeks to obtain a conditional use permit which will allow him to utilize the
lot directly across from 2149 Vista Circle for additional parking, thus providing the
spaces necessary for compliance with applicable regulations dealing with restaurants.
I am aware of the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and of the Fisherman's Walk portion which
deals with development in the Vista Circle area. I find it commendable that the city is
making long range plans for responsible development of our community.
However, the plan for development of the parking facility has two features which I find
objectionable. First, there is no provision for the 15 foot landscaped setback, which I
understand is required when property such as this is located adjacent to residential
property. (Is there not also a requirement of a 10 foot setback from the street?)
Second, the present plans provide for only a gravel surface where clearly delineated
parking spaces carmot be provided. There are already two restaurants located on Vista
Circle, and while I do not object to a third, I am aware of the parking problem which
occurs every evening during the summer and on weekends throughout the year when
automobiles line up in front of the property being developed, waiting for valet parking at
Chick's Oyster Bar We have counted as many as 120 vehicles parked or waiting to be
parked in the two lots utilized by Chick's..
If the Planning Commission does decide to act favorably of the applicant's request for a
conditional use permit, I hope that you will take my comments into consideration and
require that (1) the 15 foot and 10 foot setbacks provisions will be required, and.
(2) the applicant will be required to pave and stripe the lot.

(GPIN14898893 040000)
Members ofthe Planning Commission:
The property located at 2140 Vista Circle is a 24 unit condominium and I am the owner
and occupant of one of the condominiums. Our property is situated across from the lot at
2149 Vista Circle that is the subject of this hearing and upon which I am told the
applicant plans to erect a two story building with a 2995 square foot footprint. As I
understand it, the building will house a restaurant.
The applicant seeks to obtain a conditional use permit which will allow him to utilize the
lot directly across from 2149 Vista Circle for additional parking, thus providing the
spaces necessary for compliance with applicable regulations dealing with restaurants.
I am aware of the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and of the Fisherman's Walk portion which
deals with development in the Vista Circle area. I find it commendable that the city is
making long range plans fq,r responsible development of our community.
However, the plan for development of the parking facility has two features which I find
objectionable. First, there is no provision for the 15 foot landscaped setback, which I
understand is required when property such as this is located adjacent to residential
property. (Is there not also a requirement of a 10 foot setback from the street?)
Second, the present plans provide for only a gravel surface where clearly delineated
parking spaces cannot be provided. There are already two restaurants located on Vista
Circle, and while I do not object to a third, I am aware of the parking problem which
occurs every evening during the summer and on weekends throughout the year when
automobiles line up in front of the property being developed, waiting for valet parking at
Chick's Oyster Bar We have counted as many as 120 vehicles parked or waiting to be
parked in the two lots utilized by Chick's...
If the Planning Commission does decide to act favorably of the applicant's request for a
conditional use permit, I hope that you will take. my comments into consideration and
require that (1) the 15 foot and 10 foot setbacks provisions will be required, and.
(2) the applicant will be required to pave and stripe the lot.

Application for Conditional

parking lot located at

(GPIN14898893040000)
Members of the Planning Commission:
The property located at 2140 Vista Circle is a 24 unit condominium and I am the owner
and occupant of one of the condominiums. Our property is situated across from the lot at
2149 Vista Circle that is the subject of this hearing and upon which I am told the
applicant plans to erect a two story building with a 2995 square foot footprint. As I
understand it, the building will house a restaurant.
The applicant seeks to obtain a conditional use permit which will allow him to utilize the
lot directly across from 2149 Vista Circle for additional parking, thus providing the
spaces necessary for compliance with applicable regulations dealing with restaurants-
I am aware of the Shore Drive Corridor Plan and of the Fisherman's Walk portion which
deals with development in the Vista Circle area. I find it commendable that the city is
making long range plans for responsible development of our community.
However, the plan for development of the parking facility has two features which I find
objectionable. First, there is no provision for the 15 foot landscaped setback, which I
understand is required when property such as this is located adjacent to residential
property. (Is there not also a requirement of a 10 foot setback from the street?)
Second, the present plans provide for only a gravel surface where clearly delineated
parking spaces cannot be provided. There are already two restaurants located on Vista
Circle, and while I do not object to a third, I am aware of the parking problem which
occurs every evening during the summer and on weekends throughout the year when
automobiles line up in front of the property being developed, waiting for valet parking at

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: 0 B F P, Inc. - (a) Change of Zoning District Classification (A-12 and R-10
to Conditional 1-1) and a (b) Modification of a Conditional Use Permit (approved
by City Council on June 23,1986)
MEETING DATE: April 27, 2004
.
Background:
(a) An Ordinance upon Application of 0 B F P, Inc. for a ChanQe of ZoninQ
District Classification from A-12 Apartment District and R-10 Residential District
to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District on property located at 700 South
Birdneck Road (GPIN 24166780780000). The Comprehensive Plan identifies
this site as being within the Primary Residential Area. DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
(b) An Ordinance upon Application of a B F P, Inc. for a Modification of a
Conditional Use Permit approved by City Council on June 23, 1986 (Aqua
Sports, Inc.). Property is located at 700 South Birdneck Road (GPIN
24166780780000). DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
.
Considerations:
The applicant wishes to rezone 6.945 acres of the site from R-10 Residential
District and A-12 Apartment District to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District for
the purpose of developing a light industrial office-warehouse park. This 6.945
acre site was excluded from a recent rezoning of the larger parcel to 1-1 Light
Industrial District. The applicant now desires to include this portion of the larger
parcel. Should the Rezoning request be approved, the modification of the
Conditional Use Permit will be necessary in order to eliminate the amusement
park land area from the site, reducing the park from 52.598 acres to 46.013
acres.
The proposed Conditional Rezoning is in keeping with the objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan for the area as the applicant has proffered landscaping,
tree protection and restoration, stormwater management, building materials and
colors, signage and lighting.
The proposed Conditional Rezoning is compatible with the airfield operations
surrounding NAS Oceana. The R-10 Residential and A-12 Apartment districts are
not compatible with the restrictive easements owned by the United States Navy
over the property. The proposed Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial is more suitable
OBFP
Page 2 of 2
for the site. The proffers adequately address those uses that would be
unacceptable for the site with regard to the air easements, and its proximity to
Owls Creek.
The Planning Commission placed the items on the consent agenda because the
requests are an addition to a previously approved proposal and are compatible
with surrounding land uses. Staff recommended approval. There was no
opposition to the requests.
.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve the requests, as proffered.

Summary of Proposa
The applicant wishes to rezone 6.945 acres of the site from R-10 Residential District
and A-12 Apartment District to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District for the purpose of
developing a light industrial office-warehouse park. This 6.945 acre site was excluded

now desires to include this portion of the larger parcel. Should the Rezoning request be

Page 2
approved, the modification of the Conditional Use Permit will be necessary in order to
eliminate the amusement park land area from the site, reducing the park from 52.598
acres to 46.013 acres.
The applicant proposes to combine this site with the larger site that was recently
rezoned to 1-1 Industrial and then subdivide the combined parcel into 17 lots, ranging in
size from 27,878 square feet to 4.21 acres. A storm water management facility is also
proposed for the site. Access to the sites will be via a roadway from Birdneck Road
along the northern portion of the property.
In keeping with several of the original conditions of the Conditional Use Permit for the
site the applicant proffered the following:
. All drainage improvements shall be designed to minimize runoff into Owls Creek
or its tributaries through the use of on-site storm water retention ponds and
grassed swales. Riprap shall be used at all outfalls.
. Trees shall be preserved on the property where possible. A tree protection plan
and planting plan shall be submitted to the Planning Director, or his designee, for
review before any clearing or development activity takes place.
. All lighting shall be low level and directed toward the interior of the property.
The applicant has also proffered the proposed building materials and colors, monument
style free-standing signs, and specific uses that will not be allowed on the site in order
to protect Owls Creek and its tributaries.
Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
. Consistency with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Map
recommendation for the area.
. Compatibility with the airfield operations surrounding NAS Oceana.
. Compatibility with the surrounding uses.

Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staffs evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials
and the proffers, adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified at the
beginning of this report. The proposal's strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are
(1) The proposed Conditional Rezoning is in keeping with the objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan for the area as the applicant has proffered landscaping,
tree protection and restoration, stormwater management, building materials and
colors, signage and lighting.
(2) The proposed Conditional Rezoning is compatible with the airfield operations
surrounding NAS Oceana. The R-10 Residential and A-12 Apartment districts are
not compatible with the restrictive easements owned by the United States Navy
over the property. The proposed Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial is more suitable
for the site. The proffers adequately address those uses that would be
unacceptable for the site with regard to the air easements, and its proximity to
Owls Creek.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request.
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

Birdneck Road in front of this site is a two-lane minor
suburban arterial roadway. There is a project in the
current Capital Improvements Program to widen this
road to a four-lane divided roadway with a bike path.
The applicant must consult with the Public Works CIP,
Real Estate and Traffic Divisions regarding proposed
right-of-way dedications and proposed easement
locations for the project. The project is scheduled to be
advertised for construction in September 2006.
Based upon anticipated traffic volumes to be generated
by the proposed industrial park a Traffic Impact Study
(TIS) will be required during detailed site plan review.
The TIS will address access issues associated with the
development, including right and left turn lanes, how
access is to be provided to the industrial park before
and after Birdneck Road is widened to a divided four-
lane roadway, and the potential need for a traffic signal
at the entrance to the industrial park.

Change of Zoning District Classification
Modification of a Conditional Use Permit
700 South Birdneck Road
District 6
Beach
March 10, 2004
CONSENT
William Din: The second item that we have on consent is Item #5 & 6, which is OBFP,
Inc. This is a change in Zoning District Classification from A-12 Apartment District and
R-10 Residential District to Conditional I-I Light Industrial District on property located
at 700 South Birdneck Road.
Randy Royal: I'm Randy Royal. My business is Engineering Services, Inc., 3351
Stoneshore Road, Virginia Beach, representing the OBFP. We agree, of course with the
proffers that we've made for the rezoning.
William Din: Thank you. Is there any opposition to this being put on .the consent
agenda? If not, Mr. Ripley will explain again.
Ronald Ripley: Yes Mr. Din. This is an addition to a subdivision that was approved
through here, I believe within the last couple of months to change the zoning
classification from R-10 to Conditional I-I. It's part of the amusement park that exists,
but it's not really being utilized as such. It's really near the front of it. It's vacant land.
It's being added as part of industrial park. This is a compatible use with the
Comprehensive Plan. It's certain is compatible to Oceana, and their desires, but most of
all it's a good land use. We're recommending that it be put on the consent.
William Din: Thank you Mr. Ripley. Ms. Wood, I'd like to make a motion to approve
Item #5 & 6 OBFP, Inc.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Do I hear a second?
Robert Miller: Second.
Dorothy Wood: With the motion by Mr. Din, seconded by Mr. Miller we have approved
these consent items. The voting is open.

provisions, the GRANTOR shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to instituting
proceedings in court; and
