CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
AMPHITHEATER SOUND STUD Y
3:00 P.M.
ITEM # 44518
Mark Wawner, Department of Economic Development, recognized Fred Schafer - F C Schafer Consulting
and Dr Noel Stewart - Stewart Acoustical Consultants, who were contracted to perform the study of sound
in communities near the Amphltheater "A Study of Sound in Communities Near the GTE- Virginia Beach
Amphitheater with Options for Control" is hereby made a part of the record
Mr Schafer advised the original scope of work was to identify the changes to reduce the sound in the
Amphitheater, the potential cost and the benefits. Mr Schafer described the basics of sound The effect
perceived by the ear as sound is a very small and rapid change in air pressure The variations are very
slightly above and below the barometric pressure The percelved loudness of a sound corresponds primarlly
to the size of the variation in pressure. The ear is very sensitive and can detect, at some frequencies,
variations less than 3 billionths of apoundper square inch (psO. Variations greater than 0.001-. O1 psi can
cause pain or discomfort For humans to hear the sound, these alrpressure variations must be rapid. They
must complete a cycle at least 20 times per second and not more than 20, 000 times per second. The repetition
rate of these cycles is called the frequency of the sound It has units of Hertz (Hz) where one Hz corresponds
to one cycle per second The base sounds in music are low-frequency and the treble sounds are high-
frequency Because of the wide range of sound pressures encountered, a special scale, the decibel scale,
has been developed The sound level mcreases by 3 dB (or decibels) when the actual sound energy present
is doubled Conversely, 'half the sound energy must be eliminated to reduce the level 3 dB A six decibel
change ln&ces four times as much sound, and a 10 decibel change 10 times the sound However, the ear does
not perceive these changes to be so large Most people find a 3 dB change barely noticeable. A 6 dB change
is clearly noticeable, and a 10 dB change is perceived as a doubling or halving of loudness This is very
important It means that 90% of a given sound energy must be eliminated before most people wall judge a
sound 'half as loud People do not hear very low-frequency and high-frequency sounds as well as they hear
sounds in the middle speech frequencies A special electronic filter is used in sound meters to simulate this
characteristic of the ear For many environmental sounds it gives a simple, single-number descriptive level
that correlates with the way peoplejudge the loudness of the sound This measure is called the A-weighted
sound level The units are usually written dBA or Db(A) In the simplest idealized model, the sound level
outdoors decreases 6 decibels for each doubling of dlstance from the source Noise is unwanted sound.
Mr Schafer referenced Page 20 of said report entitled "Comparison of GTE Amphitheater and Walnut
Creek Amphitheater" and Pages 35 - 3 7 regarding amphitheater treatment
Any decision to implement controls to reduce the sound reaching the neighboring communities should
consider the changing conchtions in the communities. The increased noise due to operational changes at
Oceana Naval Air Station will strongly affect the communities, especially the closerportions of Landstown
It is possible that those people very sensitive to noise may be replaced by others more tolerant within a few
years Changes are possible to reduce the sound escaping the amphitheater by 3-5 dB while leaving the
perimeter of the pavilion mostly open The acoustical materials to do this would cost in the range of
$120,000-$150,000. Installation cost would depend on the degree of structural reinforcement needed Some
structural evaluation and possible changes must be done to assure safety including resistance to wind
storms After reducing the sound escaping the pavlhon, loudspeakers with better directional control on the
lawn are advisable. The increase in yearly rental cost for this is estimated to be thirty to fifty percent over
current costs This would primarlly reduce the clarity of sound reaching neighbors A barrier wall near the
closest Salem Lakes homes and selective improvement of home windows could be considered A barrier
would provide 5-10 dB reduction for the nearest homes along the boundary at a cost of $160,000 to
$320,000. A reduction of about 5-10 dB inside homes couM be achieved at a cost of a few hundred dollars
per window with glass replacement or storm windows. A reduction of l O-20 dB using special acoustical
windows would cost a few thousand dollars per window.
Mr Schafer advised they were not involved in the design phase; however, they do see differences between
this design and the Amphitheater at Walnut Creek.
The lease should be examined relative structural changes and how this may impact the tenant's revenue
stream The tenant may have rights which cannot be overlooked

CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING

ITEM # 44518 (Continued)
Dr Stewart advised tn the two main communities of concern, Landstown and Salem Lakes, prtmardy that
portion of Salem Lakes which ts very close to the Amphttheater, sound levels when the wtnd ts tn the rtght
chrection are betng seen tn the 50 to 60 dB range Netther of these communtttes ts recetvtng sound whtch
exceeds the level described in the adopted ordtnance The levels durtng the louder concerts are tn the mtd
50's.
Dr Stewart advtsed the consultants were gtven a hst of all the complaints through August Sixth This list was
reviewed and chscussed tn the report One particular concert drew more than ~ of the total complatnts,
however, thts was a band that was parttcularly loud and may not have comphed wtth the gutdance from the
amphitheater. Also, atmosphertc conditions were parttcularly strong that ntght
The Ctty Manager advised a Staff recommendation will be provtded, as well as a recommended source of

CITY M/IN/I GER 'S PRESENTATION
FERRELL PARKW/I Y PH/ISES H AND V
4:00 P.M.
ITEM # 44519
Clarence Warnstaff, Director of Public Utthttes and Acttng Dtrector of Pubhc Works, advtsed Ferrell
Parkway Phases H and V are two segments of the roadway tncluded tn the City's Master Transportatton
Plan Ferrell Parkway Phase H is proposed to be a 4-1ane parkway from Dam Neck Road to the Municipal
Complex, with approximately 2.2 miles in length. Ferrell Parkway Phase Vis proposed to be a four-lane
divided roadway from the Municipal Complex to General Booth. Both of these are Vtrgtnta Department
of Transportation projects and are tn the location study phase.
The total esttmated cost of Ferreil Parkway Phase His $21.6-MILLION of which the City's forecasted cost
share is approximately $2.3-MILLION; and, Ferrell Parkway Phase Vis $25.2-MILLION with the City's
participation being over $2-MILLION. At thts time, the current schedule forecasts completion of Phase II
tn October 2005
VDOT has identtfied two corridors (500feet in width) for Ferrell Parkway Phase H and three corridors
(400feet in width) for Phase V. This ts a Roadway Corridor study and does not tmply the rtght-of-way
needed for the design and construction of the roadway ts gotng to be that wide. However, thts gtves VDOT,
worMng with the vartous regulatory agenctes, an opportunity to examine vartous requtred alternattves and
to recommend the best alternative The City Counctl has impact on selected routes Mr Warnstaff displayed
the route of proposed Phase II Theproposed Corrtdor 1 tsprtnctpallyfollowtng along Prtncess Anne Road,
whtch extsts today Corrtdor lIts very stmtlar, and just south of Wtnterberry Lane, there ts an alignment shtft
to the north for some &stance and comes back tnto the extsttng Prtncess Anne Road, just a btt north of Curry
Comb Court Mr Warnstaff advtsed the particular segment of Ferrell Parkway Phase V has already been
constructed to provtde access to the Prtncess Anne Recreatton Center For the portton of the Ferrell
Parkway ProJect, three corrtdors have been tdenttfied Corrtdor III begtns at the tntersectton of Judictal
Boulevard and Prtncess Anne Road, follows a path along Prtncess Anne Road, adjacent to the Muntctpal
Complex and at thts tntersectton follows the extsttng Prtncess Anne Road corrtdor through General Booth
Corridor IV begins at the same location, Juchctal Boulevard and Princess Anne Road and follows the rtght-
of-way the City has prevtously acqutred for that roadway segment as identtfied in the Master Transportatton
Plan Corrtdor V, as Ctty Counctl notes, ts very stmtlar to Corrtdor IV, except just beyond the Rolltngwood
Subchvtston, tt continues straight on and crosses West Neck Creek at a 90 degree angle as opposed to the
greater than 90 degree angle crossing for Ferrell Parkway on Corrtdor IV then extends back tnto the extsttng
City rtght-of-way Those are the three corridors that have been developed At thts ttme
Corridor I ts the City Staff preferred corrtdor for Ferrell Parkway Phase II That is also the preferred
corrtdor by VDOT As noted Corrtdor I ts slightly shorter than Corridor II. Corrtdor I would requtre less
purchase of right-of-way than Corrtdor II This corrtdor has shghtly less tmpact on the wetlands In
examtntng Corrtdor I versus Corridor II, one of the tssues VDOT is required to examtne ts impact on other
properttes For Corridor I, the number of homes displaced was tdenttfied tn this Corridor Study as 23. For
Corrtdor II, the number of homes to be displaced was tdenttfied as 11. In terms of the number of businesses
tmpacted, Corrtdor I tmpacted two. Corridor II impacted 5 bustnesses There were no churches chsplaced
on Corridor I, however, one church was displaced on Corrtdor II The ulttmate right-of-way requtrements
for this Corrtdor would not be 500feet, but around 250feet
Regarding Ferrell Park Phase V, Corridor IV ts the preferred staff alternative. Of course, tt ts almost
tdentical to Corridor V Corridor IV is slightly shorter than Corrtdor V and substanttally shorter than
Corrtdor III Corrtdor III tmpacts 12 homes and 10 bustnesses The impact agatnst homes and bustnesses
of Corrtdor IV and V has been tdentt, fied as zero Corrtdor IV would requtre less rtght-of-way to be
purchased by the Ctty. A cittzen tnformatton meettng was held on June 11, 1997 The majortty who
parttctpated tn this process preferred the recommended Corrtdor Alignments I and IV. A locatton Publtc
Hearing was conducted on April 23, 1998. The ctttzens and residents who parttctpated tn that process
preferred Corridors I and IV. There have been ongoing discussions between VDOT and the Army Corps of
Engtneers Mr Warnstaff belteves VDOT wtll be successful tn acqutrtng the necessary permtts for Corridor
I. At thts potnt, the Corps of Engtneers appears to be leamng towards Corrtdor III, however, the staff
believes thetr concerns regardtng the impacts on wetlands as a result of crosstng West Neck Creek can be
approprtately addressed by the City Staff and by VDOT. One of the soluttons may be to build a greater
length of brtdge across the Parkway Of course, the purpose of the bridge would be to mlntmtze the tmpact
on the wetlands tn West Neck Creek

roadway design that focuses on aesthettcs and the design ttself The staff will be in a posttton to provtde thts
comment to VDOT tn about stx or seven months The goal ts to give VDOT a complete, concept destgn
package whtch would describe the land status, the rtght-of-way reqmrements, the roadway centerhne, the

Dear Mrs Smith:
Re: Disclosure Pursuant to Section 2.1-639 14(G), Code of V~rg~ma
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Section 2 1-639.14(G), Code of Virginia,
I make the following declaration:
o
The transaction for which I am executing this written disclosure is City Council's
consideration of the application of Armada Hoffier Holding Company ("Armada
Hoffier") for rezonIng of a parcel of property located at the southeast comer of
Wesleyan Drive and Diamond Spnngs Road
.
The nature of my personal interest is that I have an ownership ~nterest in Resource
Bank which exceeds 3% of the asset value of the bank, and that Armada Hoffier has
an existing loan with Resource Bank. However, the loan IS not secured by the
subject property, and Resourse Bank has not provided, and will not provide,
financing to Armada Hoffier for either the subject property or any improvements to
be constructed thereon.
°
Although the City Attorney has advised me that I am not required to disclose this
interest as it does not meet the criteria of a personal interest in the transaction under
the Conflict of Interests Act, I wish to disclose this interest and declare that l am able
to participate in this transaction fmrly, objectively, and in the public interest
Mrs. Ruth Hodges Smith, CMC/AAE 2 January 26, 1999
Accordingly, I respectfully request that you record this declaration ~n the official records of
the City Council. I have enclosed an opinion letter from Leslie L. Lllley, City Attorney, which
addresses this same matter.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,

Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Op~mon
Dear Councilmember Jones:
I am writing in response to your request for an opinion as to whether you may participate in
City Council's discussion of, and vote on, the application of Armada Hoffler Holding Company
("Armada Hoffler") for rezoning of a parcel of property located at the southeast comer of Wesleyan
Drive and Diamond Spnngs Road.
SUMMARY CONCLUSION
Based upon the facts presented, and an apphcation of the State and Local Government
Conflict of Interests Act to those facts, it is my opinion that you do not have a "personal ~nterest"
in the above-referenced application and that, therefore, you may participate in City Council's
discussion of, and vote on, the application without restriction.
FACTS PRESENTED
At ~ts meeting on January 26, 1999, City Council is scheduled to d~scuss, and vote on, the
apphcation of Armada Hoffier Holding Company ("Armada Hoffier") for rezomng of a parcel of
property located at the southeast comer of Wesleyan Drive and D~amond Spnngs Road. You have
advised that your concern, and reason for requesting th~s opinion, ~s that you have an ownership
interest in Resource Bank which exceeds 3% of the asset value of the bank, and that Armada Hoffier
Councilmember Louis R. Jones
2 January 26, 1999
has an existing loan with Resource Bank.~ You have further advised, however, that the loan ~s not
secured by the subject property, and that Resource Bank has not provided, and will not prowde,
financing to Armada Hoffier for e~ther the subject property or any ~mprovements to be constructed
thereon.
ISSUED PRESENTED
Are you permitted to partimpate in City Council's discussion of, and vote on, the apphcat~on
Armada Hoffler Holding Company ("Armada Hoffler") for rezomng of a parcel of property located
at the southeast comer of Wesleyan Drive and Diamond Springs Road?
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
The State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act ~s set forth ~n § 2 1-639 1 et seq
of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. The primary focus of the Act ~s on the personal
interests of an officer or employee of state or local government in the transactions of, and contracts
w~th, the governmental or advisory agency of whmh he or she is a member. In this case, you have
a "personal interest" in Resource Bank by virtue of your ownerslup interest in the bank which
exceeds 3% of its asset value. The critical inqmry, therefore, is whether or not you have a "personal
interest" in the above-referenced application due to the fact that Armada Hoffier has an existing loan
with Resource Bank.
A "personal interest in a transaction," as defined ~n the Act,
exists when an officer or employee or a member of his
immediate family has a personal interest in property or a
business, or represents any individual or business and
such property, business or represented individual or
business (i) is the subject of the transaction or (ii) may
realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect benefit
or detriment as a result of the action of the agency
considering the transaction.
Based upon the facts presented, Resource Bank is not the subject of the transaction. Furthermore,
because (i) Armada Hoffier's loan with Resource Bank is not secured by the subject property, and
(i0 Resource Bank has not provided, and will not provide, financing for e~ther the subject property
~The loan m questton xs tn the name of Armada Hoffier Investment ProperUes II, and, as of the date of th~s
optmon, the premse nature of the relattonslup between that entaty and the apphcant, Armada Hoffier Holdxng Company,
m not known However, based upon the facts presented, the nature of the relatuonsh~p between the two enuues would
not have any bearing on the conclusxon set forth here~n
Councilmember Louis R. Jones 3 January 26, 1999
or any improvements to be constructed thereon, it ~s not reasonably foreseeable that Resource Bank
would realize a direct or indirect benefit or detriment as a result of any action taken by C~ty Council
with respect to the application for rezomng. Therefore, in my opinion, you are permitted to
participate in City Council's discussion of, and vote on, the application without restriction.
As a final note, the Conflict of Interests Act deals with the types of influences upon a pubhc
officer's judgment which are clearly improper. The law does not, however, protect against all
appearance of improper influence. In that respect, the Act places the burden on the ~nd~v~dual officer
to evaluate whether the facts presented create an appearance of ~mpropnety which ~s unacceptable
or which could affect the confidence of the pubhc in the officer's ability to be impartial.
I have opined that you may participate in this transaction w~thout restriction. However, if
you are concerned that your participation in this transaction without disclosure could create an
unacceptable appearance, there are two options available to you which may diffuse any perception
problems that may arise:
1. You may disclose the facts as presented herein and participate ~n the transaction, or
,
You may disclose the facts as presented herein and abstain from participating ~n the
transaction.
Should you decide to declare your interest and participate, a proposed disclosure letter which
complies with § 2.1-639.14(G) is enclosed for your convenience. Should you decide, in the
alternative, to declare your interest and abstain, a proposed disclosure letter which complies with §
2.1-639.14(E) is also enclosed. If you choose to declare your interest in the transaction, you may
either make the declaration orally, which will be recorded in the written minutes of the City Council,
or you may file a signed written declaration with the City Clerk, who shall make the declaration
available for public ~nspection for a period of five years from the date of recording or receipt.
Please contact me should you desire any additional information.
Very truly yours,
il
City Attorney

reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the
community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned A -12 are

r~se; and
WHEREAS, Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and
