Due to the amount of requests, the allocations have been prorated among those localities that requested funds. The City has identified the Princess Anne Road/Kempsville Road Intersection Improvements project (CIP #2- 048) as a candidate project for this program. The Princess Anne Road/Kempsville Road Intersection Improvements project is currently in VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program and the City's Capital Improvement Program. This project will provide an increase to the capacity of the intersection to meet future demands and eliminate current congestion problems. This project is scheduled to be advertised in September 2010, and the total project cost is estimated to be about $90 million. t Considerations: The Revenue Sharing Program provides that localities that contribute a share equal to the matching requirement be given higher priority over other localities. There is sufficient City funding in the project to satisfy our required match. The additional State funding under the Revenue Sharing Program would help ensure that the project receives adequate funding to be constructed in a timely manner. ^ Public Information: Public meetings have previously been held as part of the design process. This item will be advertised as part of the normal Council Agenda process. ^ Recommendations: Adopt the attached resolution. ^ Attachments: Resolution and Location Map Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Public Works Engineering City Manager: k 1 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE AN APPLICATION FOR 2 PROJECT MATCHING FUNDS UNDER THE VDOT 3 REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM FOR THE PRINCESS 4 ANNE ROAD/KEMPSVILLE ROAD INTERSECTION 5 IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT 6 7 WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach desires to submit an application for an 8 allocation of funds of up to $1,000,000 through the Virginia Department of 9 Transportation (VDOT) Fiscal Year 2010-11 Revenue Sharing Program; and 10 11 WHEREAS, up to $1,000,000 of VDOT funds are requested to fund 12 improvements as described in CIP #2-048, Princess Anne Road/Kempsville Road 13 Intersection Improvements. 14 15 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 16 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA THAT: 17 18 1.

The ten volunteer rescue squads in the City of Virginia Beach provide invaluable services to our community. The volunteer rescue squads own all the ambulances providing 911 emergency medical transportation services in the City of Virginia Beach. The volunteer rescue squads receive no direct tax funding for their operating costs to provide these services and do not charge their patients for the medical treatment and/or transportation rendered. The primary source of revenue for the volunteer rescue squads is through their individual squad fund drives, conducted annually. Depending on the availability of funds, the City provides some support costs for the Volunteer Rescue Squads, such as providing standard equipment for the ambulances; physical facilities and spaces to house and support equipment and personnel; paying utility bills for buildings and facilities housing a rescue squad, including those owned by a rescue squad; providing or paying for property and liability insurance for any building, facility or real property used to operate the volunteer emergency medical transport service; providing or paying for fuel for ambulances, zone cars and other emergency service vehicles; providing or paying for insurance covering ambulances and other emergency service and support vehicles owned by the rescue squads; providing adequate staff and budget for volunteer EMS recruitment and retention programs; providing initial and continued training and education of volunteers; and providing shift supervision. Also, the City of Virginia Beach has historically provided short term, no interest loans to the volunteer rescue squads servicing our citizens. The majority of these loans have been to provide initial capital for the acquisition of replacement ambulances. The cost of a new ambulance routinely exceeds $140,000 without consideration of the medical equipment, supplies or personnel. ^ Considerations: The attached letter from the Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad has been received by the Department of Emergency Medical Services requesting a no interest loan in the amount of $100,000 payable in five equal annual payments of $20,000 each. The first payment would commence October 2011. The Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad will be utilizing approximately $50,000 of their fund drive monies to fund a portion of the estimated $150,000 cost of the replacement ambulance. Funds are available in the fund balance of the General Fund to provide this loan. ^ Public Information: Information will be disseminated through the regular Council agenda notification process. ^ Alternatives: The alternative to this request could include pursuit of a business loan from a private financial institution, which will be costlier and will cause the rescue squad to further delay purchase of the replacement ambulance. ^ Recommendations: The Department of Emergency Medical Services recommends approval of this loan request and ordinance. ^ Attachments: Ordinance, Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, Letter from Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad Requesting a No Interest Loan Recommended Action: Approval ~ _ ,_ Submitting Department/Ageln/cy: Department of Emergency Medical Services " City Manager: l~ ~ ~. 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO PROVIDE 2 AN INTEREST-FREE LOAN TO SANDBRIDGE RESCUE 3 AND FIRE, INC., FOR THE PURCHASE OF A 4 REPLACEMENT AMBULANCE 5 6 WHEREAS, Sandbridge Rescue and Fire, Inc., has raised $50,000 through fund 7 raising initiatives for the purchase of a replacement ambulance with estimated cost of 8 $150,000. 9 10 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 11 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, THAT: 12 13 1. $100,000 is hereby appropriated from the fund balance of the General Fund 14 for an interest-free loan to Sandbridge Rescue and Fire, Inc., for the purchase of a 15 replacement ambulance, contingent upon execution of the attached agreement; and 16 17 2.

By: , Name Title Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad ~_ January 12, 2010 Chief Bruce Edwards Department of EMS City of Virginia Beach Dear Chief Edwards: The following information is provided to support the Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad's request for a no-interest loan to replace one of our ambulances: o Ambulance to be Replaced: Unit 1721 is a 1999 Ford/Norton model with 175,000 miles. Estimated mileage at replacement in the second quarter of 2011 will be well over 200,000 miles. Estimated trade-in value is $5,000 to $10,000. o Estimated Cost of Replacement: Current estimates for a new ambulance is approximately $150,000. This does not include the City's minimal cost of moving the radios, Mobil Data Terminal, and antennas from the old to the new ambulance. o Loan Amount: Given the City's current budgetary problems we are asking for a $100,000, no-interest loan to be repaid in four or five annual payments. 305 Sandbridge Road • Virginia [3each, Virginia 23456 o Justification: 00 1721 has been in service for over 10 years and will have amassed over 200,000 miles when retired from service next year. As is the case with older ambulances, it experienced increased maintenance costs and down-time last year. 0o This increased down-time has adversely impacted our ability to support special functions, accomplish end-of-shift turnovers without gaps in coverage, and maintaining one ambulance in-station to respond to calls in Sandbridge with off duty personnel.

MEETING DATE: August 24, 2010 ^ Background: The applicants request a Conditional Use Permit for a residential kennel for up to six dogs. The Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for a residential kennel when more than four dogs over six months of age are kept. The applicants currently have five different types of dogs, including two Newfoundlands, a German Sheppard, a Bloodhound, a Mixed Labrador Retriever/Greyhound, and a Pomeranian. Staff has received complaints regarding the noise generated from dogs on this site. The applicants indicate that they were unaware of the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit. The applicants further indicate that three of their five dogs were adopted from military families no longer able to care for the dogs. The applicant has agreed that they will not adopt or rescue any additional dogs unless the number of dogs falls below the four dogs allowed by-right; however, in that eventuality, they will never exceed four dogs. The dogs are kept on a 105-foot wide by 80-foot deep (105' x 80') yard which is enclosed by asingle-family dwelling on the west and afour-foot high chain link fence to the north, east, and south. The dogs also have access through a dog door to a 23-foot by 10-foot (23' x 10') porch, which is climate controlled. ^ Considerations: The Zoning Ordinance stipulates for residential kennels that except where animals are kept in soundproof, air-conditioned buildings, no structure or area occupied by the animals shall be within 100 feet of the property line of any adjacent lot. The applicant's dogs are kept outside in a fenced area that is approximately 17 feet to the closest property line. Staff maintains that keeping the dogs outside approximately 17 feet from the closest residential property results in significant noise from barking dogs that can be heard by the surrounding residential community. Staff, therefore, recommends that the dogs be kept inside the house at all times except during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to dusk. Staff further recommends that between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to dusk, Thomas & Jacqueline Richards Page 2 of 3 the dogs may be let out into the enclosed back yard only when an adult is present. Staff has received complaints regarding the noise generated from dogs on this site; the recommendations are intended to address the complaints. With these recommendations, provided below as conditions of the Use Permit, staff finds that the noise generated by the dog kennel should be significantly reduced. Staff, therefore, recommends approval subject to the conditions listed below. There was one opposition to the request. ^ Recommendations: The Planning Commission, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, recommends approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. Within 30 days of City Council approval of this Use Permit, the applicant shall provide to the Zoning Administrator evidence that the dogs are properly immunized and licensed with the City of Virginia Beach. 2. No more than six adult dogs (over six months of age) shall be kept on the property at any time. At the time when the number of dogs kept on the property has been reduced to four through death, change in ownership, or any other means, this Use Permit shall terminate and the number of dogs (over six months of age) shall not exceed four. 3. No breeding, grooming, or boarding of any other dogs for monetary or non- monetary purposes shall be permitted. 4. All animal waste shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful manner on a daily basis. 5. Except for the hours between 10:00 a.m. and dusk, the dogs shall be kept within the single-family dwelling located on the on-site. During the10:00 a.m. to dusk time period, the dogs may be allowed in the rear yard, provided an adult is present in the rear yard with the dogs. 6. Between dusk and 10:00 a.m., one dog at a time, supervised by an adult, may be allowed in the rear yard for one 15-minute period. ~. Upon one (1) year from the date of approval of this Use Permit, the Zoning Administrator shall administratively review the Conditional Use Permit. If, at such time, the Zoning Administrator determines that the Residential Kennel needs additional consideration, based on complaints, etc., the Conditional Use Permit will be referred back to the Planning Commission and City Council. In the event that no valid complaints have been made, the Conditional Use Permit shall remain in effect.

LYNNHAVEN DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: August 24, 2010 ^ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow an addition to an existing boat dock with boat lift to create anon-commercial pier /boat dock that is shared by two properties. Both properties are currently owned by the applicant. The property at 1061 Bobolink Drive is the applicant's residence and the property at 1057 Bobolink Drive is used by guests visiting the applicant. The existing pier is located at 1061 Bobolink Drive, a 40,689 square foot lot, in the Birdneck Point neighborhood. The submitted plan depicts a proposed 6-foot wide by 22-foot long fixed pier with a 4-foot wide by 14-foot long timber ramp that extends from the property at 1057 Bobolink Drive to the existing boat dock and boat lift. The existing boat dock and boat lift is connected by a wood ramp to the property at 1061 Bobolink Drive. The applicant has submitted the proposed pier and ramp plans to the appropriate regulatory bodies and is awaiting approval of a Joint Permit Application (JPA). ^ Considerations: The proposed pier will be used exclusively by the applicant, and no commercial use of the pier will be permitted. The pier will not have a sewer pump out facility nor will petroleum products be dispensed or stored on site. The applicant is currently seeking approval through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process, and no construction will be permitted until the JPA is approved. In sum, Staff finds that the request for construction of anon-commercial 6-foot wide by 22-foot long fixed pier with a 4-foot wide by 14-foot long timber ramp to connect to an existing boat dock with lift as depicted on the plan is acceptable with the conditions below.

CENTERVILLE DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: August 24, 2010 ^ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow an outdoor recreational facility, a skateboard ramp, to be located within the parcel's rear yard. The ramp will be limited primarily to the use of the adult applicant plus two additional adult friends. A two-story single-family dwelling is located on the lot. The entire rear yard is enclosed by a six-foot tall privacy fence with a locking gate. There is an existing above-ground swimming pool located within the rear yard, approximately 15 feet from the house and a swing set is located east of the pool. A four-foot tall fence divides the pool area from the swing set area. The applicant indicates that he was initially unaware of the need of a Conditional Use Permit. After construction of the ramp, the applicant was informed that a Conditional Use Permit for the skateboard ramp is required. The applicant, therefore, dismantled the ramp and does not plan on constructing a new ramp until appropriate approvals are obtained. The proposed skateboard ramp will be situated approximately 20 feet south of the detached pool, ten feet from the rear western property line, and approximately 18 feet from the rear eastern property line. The size of the ramp is 12 feet wide by 24 feet long, with a height of five and one-half feet at the rollout deck platforms. At each end, there is a small platform with atwo-foot tall rail. The skating surface consists of 3/4 -inch plywood. The ramp is layered with three layers of 1/2-inch plywood in order to help keep sound to a minimum. Signatures of support from residents on forms provided by the applicant were submitted with the application. The applicant notes that the ramp will only be used during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to dusk. Additionally, no one under the age of 18 will use the ramp, and an access gate will be securely locked during other times to prevent unauthorized use/access. Adolfo Martinez Page2of3 ^ Considerations: Staff recognizes the popularity of the skateboarding sport, and the increasing desire of homeowners to install ramps in their yards. Like other recreational equipment and facilities in residential yards (swimming pools, basketball rims, etc.), skateboard ramps have the potential to become nuisances to surrounding residents, especially with regard to sound that emanates from the facility, such as the continuous bouncing of the ball, the sound of the skateboard wheels rolling across the plywood surface of the ramp, or the sound of the cheers and joyful screams. Such sound is normal and is expected in residential neighborhoods. The problems arise when the sound occurs outside the hours of the day expected for such sounds, the sound increases beyond the level normally expected, or the sound includes language that is not considered appropriate. When this occurs, the sound becomes "noise". Such noise, especially if it includes the gathering of individuals on the lot beyond what is normally expected, can significantly disturb the tranquility and peace within the neighborhood. Further, of all recreational equipment and facilities in residential areas, it is the skateboard ramp that, due to the nature of rolling wheels on the riding surface and the size of the ramp, has the potential to create the greatest nuisance. Thus the requirements for this conditional use permit. To ensure that the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan to protect neighborhoods from destabilizing influences is met, it is vital that this proposal provides safeguards designed to significantly avoid the potential for the facility to become a nuisance to the surrounding residents and thus, to the neighborhood. To accomplish this, the applicant developed a set of rules and standards by which the skateboard ramp will be constructed and used. The design of the ramp and the rules for this use should prevent the sound from and activity of the ramp from becoming "noise" and an intrusion on the surrounding residents. The applicant also personally visited with the adjacent residents, explaining the standards and rules to them. Further, the applicant went beyond the adjacent residents and visited residents in the blocks around the subject site. The applicant gained signatures of support from those he visited. Staff, therefore, concludes that the ramp will be constructed and operated in a manner such that it will not prove to be a destabilizing influence in the neighborhood. The attached conditions, reflective of the applicant's self-imposed rules and standards, will ensure this. Additionally, a condition is recommended requiring an annual review of the facility to make sure the rules are being adhered to and the facility is not acting as a destabilizing influence on the neighborhood. There was opposition to this request. ^ Recommendations: Adolfo Martinez Page 3 of 3 The Planning Commission, with a recorded vote of 11-0, does not recommend approval of this request to the City Council. However, if approved by Council, the following conditions shall apply: The skateboard ramp shall be located and constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted marked-up property survey entitled "Physical Survey of Lot 781, Alexandria, Section Four B" by Dennis J. Gerwitz, P.C. and dated December 15, 1998. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 2. The skateboard ramp shall be constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted elevations. Said elevation has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 3. Use of the ramp shall be limited to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and dusk. 4. To reduce the level of sound emanating from the ramp when in use, the following shall be utilized in the construction of the ramp: (1) the underside of the plywood beneath the skating surface shall be insulated; (2) the sides of the ramp shall be enclosed with wood; and (3) roofing paper shall be installed between the plywood and the skating surface of the ramp. 5. A chain shall be secured across the ramp when the ramp is not in use such that the ramp cannot be used. 6. The ramp shall only be for the use of the applicant and invited guests. All users of the ramp shall be age 18 or over. The Zoning Administrator shall annually evaluate whether the rules have been adhered to. If the evaluation reveals that the conditions are being met, the use permit shall be renewed for an additional year, with an annual evaluation thereafter. If the evaluation reveals that the conditions are not being met, the Zoning Administrator shall refer the Use Permit to the City Council for revocation. ^ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

Signatures of support ftom residents on forms provided by the applicant were submitted with the application. The applicant notes that the ramp will only be used during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to dusk. Additionally, no one under the age of 18 will use the ramp, and an access gate will be securely locked during other times to prevent unauthorized use/access.

POLICE: The Police Department notes that residential ramps of this nature can become a nuisance and result in increased calls primarily due to noise. Rules for use of the ramp, strict supervision of use of the ramp, and control of access to the ramp are necessary to avoid the ramp becoming such a nuisance ADOLFO MARTINEZ Agenda Item 13 Page 2 EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recognizes the popularity of the skateboarding sport, and the increasing desire of homeowners to install ramps in their yards. Like other recreational equipment and facilities in residential yards (swimming pools, basketball rims, etc.), skateboard ramps have the potential to become nuisances to surrounding residents, especially with regard to sound that emanates from the facility, such as the continuous bouncing of the ball, the sound of the skateboard wheels rolling across the plywood surface of the ramp, or the sound of the cheers and joyful screams. Such sound is normal and is expected in residential neighborhoods. The problems arise when the sound occurs outside the hours of the day expected for such sounds, the sound increases beyond the level normally expected, or the sound includes language that is not considered appropriate. When this occurs, the sound becomes "noise". Such noise, especially if it includes the gathering of individuals on the lot beyond what is normally expected, can significantly disturb the tranquility and peace within the neighborhood. Further, of all recreational equipment and facilities in residential areas, it is the skateboard ramp that, due to the nature of rolling wheels on the riding surface and the size of the ramp, has the potential to create the greatest nuisance. Thus the requirements for this conditional use permit. To ensure that the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan to protect neighborhoods from destabilizing influences is met, it is vital that this proposal provides safeguards designed to significantly avoid the potential for the facility to become a nuisance to the surrounding residents and thus, to the neighborhood. To accomplish this, the applicant developed a set of rules and standards by which the skateboard ramp will be constructed and used. The design of the ramp and the rules for this use should prevent the sound from and activity of the ramp from becoming "noise" and an intrusion on the surrounding residents. The applicant also personally visited with the adjacent residents, explaining the standards and rules to them. Further, the applicant went beyond the adjacent residents and visited residents in the blocks around the subject site. The applicant gained signatures of support from those he visited. - Staff, therefore, concludes that the ramp will be constructed and operated in a manner such that it will not prove to be a destabilizing influence in the neighborhood. The attached conditions, reflective of the applicant's self-imposed rules and standards, will ensure this. Additionally, a condition is recommended requiring an annual review of the facility to make sure the rules are being adhered to and the facility is not acting as a destabilizing influence on the neighborhood. CONDITIONS 1. The skateboard ramp shall be located and constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted marked-up property survey entitled "Physical Survey of Lot 781, Alexandria, Section Four B" by Dennis J. Gerwitz, P.C. and dated December 15, 1998. Said Alan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach Citv Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department 2. The skateboard ramp shall be constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted elevations Said elevation has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach Citv Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 3. Use of the ramp shall be limited to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and dusk. 4. To reduce the level of sound emanating from the ramp when in use, the following shall be utilized in ADOLFO MARTINEZ _ -Agenda Item 13 Page 3 the construction of the ramp: (1) the underside of the plywood beneath the skating surface shall be insulated; (2) the sides of the ramp shall be enclosed with wood; and (3) roofing paper shall be installed between the plywood and the skating surface of the ramp. 5. A chain shall be secured across the ramp when the ramp is not in use such that the ramp cannot be used. 6. The ramp shall only be for the use of the applicant and invited guests. All users of the ramp shall be age 18 or over. 7. The Zoning Administrator shall annually evaluate whether the rules have been adhered to. If the evaluation reveals that the conditions are being met, the use permit shall be renewed for an additional year, with an annual evaluation thereafter. If the evaluation reveals that the conditions are not being met, the Zoning Administrator shall refer the Use Permit to the City Council for revocation. NOTE: Further conditions maybe required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted wifh this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning /Development Services Center and Department of Planning /Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Cerflfcate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.

We are able to hear all disturbances and see very clearly into their backyard from our upstairs windows. We are very much opposed to a conditional use permit fora skateboard ramp being granted to 2698 Gadsby Ct. When they were using the ramp previously, it sounded like someone was loudly jumping in the upper level of our home. The ramp is also very tall and unsightly. I do not want the ramp to impede on my enjoyment of my own property or hurt the resell value of my home. My husband and I will be at the planning commisson hearing on June 9, 2819 to voice our concerns. Regards, Beth Kinstler 1 Leslie J. Bonilla ~e ~z c~- ~ODpest~-ir~n From: Pam Johnson [pamjohnson@att.net] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 11:24 AM To: Leslie J. Bonilla Subject: conditional use permit 2008 Gatsby Court Dear Ms. Bonilla: My husband and I are writing to express our concerns over the request and any consideration that may be given the owners of 2008 Gatsby Court regarding the skate board ramp of any size in their back yard, which is adjacent to our back yard. I have been a successful Realtor in the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake area for over 23 years and can assure you that a structure of this nature allowed in a small backyard WILL continue to depreciate the value of that home and the entire community that it is in. We have already seen values fall because of the market....please do not allow further deterioration of this community. Furthermore, the existing ramp is creating excessive noise and concerns to our tenants and our neighbors. Our tenants, who just left our house after renting from us for over six years, also had to contend with a large dogs coming in our backyard and clawing and biting at the rear and side door to get into our house. The dogs were able to get through the (iri need of repair) fence of 2008 Gadsby Ct. We have replaced the back door and are having to replace the side door at a cost of over $500 All owners and tenants should be given the right to peaceful enjoyment of their premises, and while a skate board ramp and large dogs may be our neighbors form of enjoyment, when it adversely affects the owners and/or tenants in other properties, it must cease and not be allowed or encouraged. I would like to be at this meeting, however, we have just returned today from being out of town for two weeks and business appointments are already in place for tomorrow morning. We just picked our mail up and found this notice in it. If you have any questions, please call me at 757-642-4881. Blessings, Pam Johnson Leslie J. Bonilla From: Stephen Kinstler [stevejmu@cox.net] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 1:48 PM To: Leslie J. Bonilla Subject: 2008 Gadsby Ct. To: The Virginia Beach Planning Commission From: Stephen Kinstler, Owner of 5517 Cabin John Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23464 Re: Skateboard Ramp at 2008 Gadsby Court, Virginia Beach, VA 23464 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Skateboard Ramp at 2008 Gadsby .Court, Virginia Beach, VA. 23464. Please consider the following facts regarding the residents at 2008 Gadsby Court: 1. When the Skateboard Ramp was first constructed without a permit, my wife (Beth Kinstler) called the city inspector to investigate the property. Upon arrival to the property, the inspector asked the residents if there was a ramp larger than a 1/4 pipe or 4x8 on the premises. They said that they did not have anything larger than this when in fact they had an entire ramp and additional platforms for which to skateboard and ride bicycles. The inspector was called back to look onto the premises from the backyard of my property and when he saw the ramp and additional platforms, he immediately knew that he was lied to (his exact words were, "They lied to me") and informed the residents to deconstruct the ramp and apply for a Conditional Use Permit. This conduct displays a lack of trust of the residents. 2. The initial hearing was scheduled in Tune but had to be deferred because the residents did not follow the required instructions to display the hearing notice correctly. The sign was initially placed next to the front door which was not in plain view from the street. The city had to inform them that the sign was not placed correctly and that the hearing would be deferred until the sign had been properly displayed for 30 days. This conduct demonstrates a lack of responsibility of the residents. 3. I have video evidence that the residents left several small children unsupervised during the hours of the day when the daycare business was in operation. These children were standing on the platform next to the swimming pool full of water, only inches from the edge, looking into the water. The video shows that there were no adults in site during this incident. I have raised this point to illustrate the fact that the residents at 2008 Gadsby Court cannot be trusted nor are they responsible. 4. For a period of about 6-8 months I placed approximately 12 calls to Animal Control for excessive barking from the residents' dogs. The barking occurred as early as 6:00 AM and as late as 12:00 AM and would last anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours at any given time. These same dogs have escaped from the backyard many times, destroying fences and roaming the neighborhood. It only stopped within the last year because I had to speak with the owner that the barking dogs were affecting the quality of my life and keeping my two small children from sleeping. Furthermore, there have been several instances when I had to call the police due to excessive noise coming from the backyard due to partying late at night (after 10:00 PM and later). On one occasion, we watched party goers literally scatter through the backyard when the police showed up which raises concerns about why the party goers were frightened enough to hide from the police. I have raised this point to further illustrate the fact that the residents at 2088 Gadsby Court are not responsible for their property nor do they respect their neighbors. 5. None of the approving signatures collected in the petition are adjacent properties to 2008 Gadsby Court, and one of the signatures is located 1.7 miles away in Chesapeake, VA. It is my opinion that these approving signatures could not see and/or hear the noise coming from the Skateboard Ramp when it was first constructed without a permit. 6. The map of our neighborhood shows that the backyard of 2008 Gadsby Court is centrally located to numerous properties. There are as many as 9 or more properties who can see and/or hear the noise coming from the backyard at 2008 Gadsby Court, including my next door neighbors located at 5521 Cabin john Drive, Virginia Beach, VA. Even though their property does not touch 2008 Gadsby Court, they have told us that they could hear cursing and other excessive loud noises coming from the 2008 Gadsby Court property when the Skateboard Ramp was initially constructed without a permit. 7. When the ramp was first constructed without a permit there were additional platforms used to navigate the series of ramps and pipes. Not only did the residents skateboard on this recreational area, they also rode their bicycles, oftentimes at night with bright work lights shining across the yard onto other houses. This sort of play made sounds loud enough that it sounded like someone was jumping on the roof of my home. This is not a level of noise that I am comfortable with. Therefore, it is my concern that the residents at 2008 Gadsby Court will not follow the rules and regulations cited by the City of Virginia Beach and/or created by themselves. In my opinion, none of the conduct portrayed in my statements above is becoming of individuals who are responsible for owning a Skateboard Ramp. An unsightly Skateboard Ramp will affect the resell value of my home and possibly the other 9 or more surrounding properties. The lack of responsibility and lying to City Inspectors from the residents at 2808 Gadsby Court proves that the quality of life in our neighborhood may greatly suffer if this Skateboard Ramp is approved. I will be at the hearing scheduled for Wednesday 14 7uly 2010. V/R, Stephen Kinstler 2 lviy 9, 2010 City of Virginia Beach Plaruung Commission RE: ADOLFO MARTINEZ -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, SKATEBOARD RAMP, 2008 GADSBY COURT, CENTERVILLE DISTRICT - ST.9FF PLANNER LESLIE BONILLA -HEARING )ULy 14, ZO10 Deu Sir or Madam: My wife aad I reside a 5509 Cabia John Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia. We purchased the home in September, 2007. Our home is Ivcated directly behind the property located at 2008 Gadsby Court, Virginia Beach, Virginia. In the winter of 2009 a skateboard ramp was constructed by the owners of the home located at 2008 Gadsby Court in Virginia Beach, Virginia 'T'he construction of the ramp caused significant discomfort due to the hammering of Heels and the cutting of wood. The subsequent use of the ramp caused significant discomfort to me and my wife due to the noisc caused by the skateboarding and the loud voices that were often associated with the ramps operation. The tamp was routinely used after dusk and in severe] instances has been used beyond midnight. To our delight, the owners of the ramp were instructed to raze the structure in dte spring of 2010. We recently became aware that the initial construction of this ramp was not permissible without a Conditional Use Permit granted by City Counal. We are aware that the owners of the ramp have now applied, post-construction/post demolition, for this permit. The purpose of this lemr is to cequest denial of this rcquest. Wht1e the Planning Commission and City, Council have approved and denied nutnemus requests for CUPS for skateboarding ramps within the City limits, the conditions precedent in those decisions have mainly been related to four factors: 1. Can accommodations be made so as to limit the anise created by the use of the ramp? 2. Caa ade4uate safety features be incorporated into the strttctuce? 3. Can legal setbacks From neighboring property lines be respected? 4. Can the owner of the ramp be expected to utilize the structure in an appropriate and neighborly manner? Our ncperiences with our neighbors at 2008 Gadsby Court while living in our home has lead us to the conclusion that none of the four points mentioned above can be met in an agreeable form, First, whey the ramp was constructed it was located only a few feet from the iiae separating our properties. I have included a photograph of the ramp as of 3/21/20]0 that depicu the close proximity to our Property line. Lots in our neighborhood are net very large and the setback of the homes is not very great. The rear of our home is locatcd 32 feet from the rear boundary line, The people who routinely use the ramp appear to be between the ages of 17-25. These are not young children whose voices can be controlled by a supervising adult. On several instances while living at our current location we have had to contact the Virginia Beach Police Depaztmrnt due to excessive noisc late in the evening, Ftom the - 2 - duly ~, 2oi o photographs that have been provided you will see that there dots not appear to be enough space to construct a skateboard ramp that would be adequately distant from our property line so as to limit the noise Second, we do not believe that the ramp can be secured in a manner that would make it safe to ndghboring children. On numerous occasions the dogs that reside at 2008 Gadsby Court have broken through neighboring fences and have terrorized the neighborhood. On one occasion after midnight in the fall of 2007 the Rottweiler and bull dog that lived at 2008 Gadsby Court broke through the frnce at the rear of our property and clawed at our baclt door attempting to get inside. As I was out of town, my wife called the Virginia Beach Police Department who sent an officer to our home to remedy the situation, My wife was terrified. The dogs have broken through the fences on several other occasions and have routinely tormented the neighbors in our development. The fence at 2008 Gadsby Court is not secure enough to prevent an animal from escaping or to prevent a small child from entering the property. Further, the owner of 2008 Gadsby Court operates aday-caze business that caters to young children. It seems inappropriate and negligent to have a skateboard ramp located within close proximity and access to a day- care operation. My wife and I have reviewed the Virginia Beach General District Court Public Records that indicate the following animal related criminal charges against Maria Wert, the owner of the home at 2008 Gadsby Court. These charges outline a history of lack of control, supervision, containment and safety as it relates to her pets: • 10/20/2009 - Dangerous/vicious Dog -Animal Violation • 3/9/2009 - No City Dog Tags • 3/9/2009 - Dog At Large • 1 /30/2008 -Dog At Large • 11 /9/2007 - Faihtre to Provide Care • ]0/2/2007 -Dog At Large • i /9/2007 - No Rabies Vaccines • 8/18/2006 -Dog At Large (x2) • 8/18/2006 - No City License {x2) • 2/3/2006 -Dog At Large Because of their apparent lack of responsibility for their own animals and lack of concern for other animals, children or neighbors is out area, we do not believe that the owners of the skateboard ramp can secure their property is a waq that would prevent young children from using the ramp uasnpervised. There is obviously a history of neglect for the htw that is demonstrated by the animal related charges desca~bed above. Third, as mentioned previously, the ramp is currently located a Eew feet from our property boundary line. The ramp is very large and we do not believe that there is adequate room to move the ramp far enough away from ovr property. The rear of our home is located 32 feet from our rear boundary line, The ramp would need to be moved substantially farther than the 5 feet that has customarily been approved. Finally, die repeat violations of the owners of 2006 Gadsby Court as it relates to the maintenance of their pets and the numerous noise complaints lead us to believe that they are not capable of maintaining the peaces My wife and I are not the only neighbors who have contacted the Virginia Beach Police or Anima] Control Department regarding the owners of 2008 Gadsby Court. They have misled police officers, animal coatroi officers and your own inspector as it relates to the existence of the skateboard ramp. We have no reason to believe that anq requucmcnts, compromises or established operating rules will be adhered to given the events that we have experienced over the past several years. The following is a list of additional Virginia Beach Public Records Case Information regarding Maus Wert and ha son Corey Wert that demonstrate a history of neglect for authority and a lack of responsibility as it applies to their obligations as citizens and neighbors. -3- ' err • 10-16-2003 -Threats Over the phone • 3/2/2404 -Violation of Peace Bond • 7/8/2004 -Violation of Peace Bond • 8/14/2008 - SUSP. O/L • 7/12/2008 -Drunk in public • 9/27/2006 -Purchase/Possess Alcohol • 7/18/2006 -- Urinating in Public • 3/29/2006 -Possession of Controlled Substance -Possession of Marijuana July 9, 20~ o In the nearly three years that tae have lived adjacent ro 2008 Gadsby Court we have taken measures ro enstue out comfort, privacy and tight to not be terrorized. We have erected an 8-foot fence wheq it became evident that our neighbors at 2008 Gadsby Court would not repair theirs, We have called the Virginia Beach Police Deparnnent when the noise has gotten out of hand. We have contacted Animal Control when the dogs have broken through the fences. Until now, these actions -while burdensome, time wasuming and expensive -have worked. The recent arrival of the skateboard ramp changed this comfort and we now have a nuisance that we cannot control without your help. Given the history of violations outlined in this letter, it is evident that the approval of a CUP foz the skateboard ramp's construction wiIl result in additions] work for city inspectors and law enforcement personnel, This come at a great cost to a city that needs ro aPPIY ~~ services of these hard twtkiug service members elsewhere. My wife and I greatly aPP~m the.work that you do to make the City of Virginia Beach the best and the most comfortable dty for its citizezas, 'Thank you for taking our concerns into consideration.
