COMMUNICATION TOWER ORDINANCE
4:00 P.M.
ITEM # 32871
Robert J. Scott, Director of Planning, distributed a copy of the proposed
Ordinance to amend and reordain Article 2, Section 232(b) of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to special requirements for communication towers.
There are four major users of communication towers within the City:
Cox Cable
Contel
Centel
City of Virginia Beach
If the tower does not meet or exceed the structural requirements as set out in
EIA-222-D, "Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna
Supporting Structures", published by the Electronic Industries Association,
effective June 1, 1987, then the minimum setback requirement from the base of
the tower to any property line abutting a residential use or district shall be
equal to one hundred and ten (110) percent of the height of the tower. A report
certifying that these structural requirements will be met must be submitted
with the conditional use permit application. Where the tower meets the
structural criteria outlined above, the minimum side and front yard setback
shall be fifty (50) feet in residential and agricultural districts and twenty-
five (25) feet in all other districts. Additionally, no tower may be located
closer than one hundred (100) feet from an existing residential structure,
regardless of the district in which the structure is located.
Mr. Scott advised where lots are created for the purpose of communication
towers, these lots be identified on the subdivision plat. Flag lots, narrow
lots, or other oddly configured lots wouid be quite acceptable for this type of
use.
In considering approval of any proposed communication tower site, the City
Council shall give consideration to the following criteria:
Whether the application represents a request for multiple use of a
tower or site, or use on a site contiguous to an existing site.
Whether the application contains a report that other potential users
of the site and tower have been contacted, and that they have no
current plans, to the best of their ability to determine, that could
be fulfilled by joint use.
Whether the application shows how the tower or site will be designed
or laid out to accommodate future multiple users.
Whether the proposed tower is to be located in an area where it would
be unobtrusive and would not substantially detract from aesthetics or
neighborhood character, due either to location, to the nature of
surrounding uses (such as industrial uses), or to lack of visibility
caused by natural growth or other factors.
Whether, if no privately owned land in the area meets the above
criteria, the application is for land owned by the city and leased
for fair value, and which does meet the above criteria
It is not likely two cellular telephone operations can be located on the same
tower. It is most probable one cellular operation and Cox Cable could be
located on the same tower.
The City Manager will provide information relative the communication towers,
located in Raleigh, North Carolina and Driver, Virginia, which fell.
Information relative the health impacts of communication towers on adjacent
residents will also be provided.

ITEM # 32871 (Continued)
The City Attorney will determine the area excluded by Fentress Airfield air
rights. The City Attorney shall also advise the areas where the Navy objects
to communication towers being placed and the locations where the Navy has
purchased the air rights. The City Attorney shall DRAFT a letter to the Navy
requesting their policy and procedures regarding purchase of air rights.
A map depicting the location of the various towers shall be provided. This
Ordinance shall be SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of June 11, 1990.

4:40 P.M.
ITEM # 32872
Patricia Phillips, Director of Research and Strategic Analysis, referenced the
report, "Real Estate Tax Relief", which is hereby made a part of the record.
The Real Estate Tax Relief Program in Virginia Beach currently is available to
eligible elderly and disabled homeowners. This Program currently offers tax
exemption, tax deferral and tax freeze options to all qualified elderly or
disabled households in the City. In the most recent fiscal year 1989-1990, 814
households qualified for exemption and 3 for the freeze. No one took advantage
of the deferral. Page 5 of the report itemizes the Real Estate Tax Relief
Program for Selected Virginia Localities Fiscal Year 1990-91. In Virginia Beach
the average relief per household was $591. The only other locality with a
greater average was Fairfax County with $1,405. As per the request of
Councilwoman Parker, two additional localities were contacted: Chesterfield and
Alexandria. Both of their programs are currently less than the existing
Virginia Beach program. The income limit of Chesterfield is $17,100 and
Alexandria is $18,000.
The Office of Research and Strategic Analysis has attempted to identify two
basic alternatives to reach the State Maximum of Net Income: $30,000 and Net

5:10 P.M.
ITEM # 32873
Council Members Henley and McClanan distributed a DRAFT of the Ordinance to
provide exemptions from certain rehabilitated residential real estate.
Counciiwoman Henley advised the structure on which improvements are to be made
must be at least 25 years old, but the Council may set a structure age
requirement in excess of 25 years. The DRAFT contains an age requirement of 75
years. After perusal of Mr. Matthias' Inventory of Historical Homes,
Councilwoman Henley believed 75 years to be the more accurate figure.
The Council may determine the duration of the exemption which may not exceed
ten years. The DRAFT provides an exemption for five years. The enabling
legislation allows for a $20.00 fee to process an application. The DRAFT
Ordinance does not require this fee.
Councilwoman McClanan advised as there are significant federal tax credits
entailing rehabilitated commercial property, it not essential to include
commercial property in this Ordinance.
ITEM # 32874
Vice Mayor Fentress distributed an illustration of proposed Chairs for the
Council Chamber and Conference Room. Said illustration is hereby made a part of
the record. The total cost would be approximately $9,130.00.

Re: Disclosure Pursuant to SS2.1-639.14(G), Code of Virginia
Dear Mrs. Smith:
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act, SS2.1-
639.14(G), Code of Virginia, I make the following declaration:
1. The transaction for which I am executing this written
disclosure is the Council vote on the Chandler
encroachment application.
2. The nature of my personal interest is that I am an
employee of Central Fidelity Bank receiving a salary in
excess of $10,000.00 annually.
3. 1 am an employee of Central Fidelity Bank which holds a
deed of trust on the 12 adjacent lots to the parcel in
question.
4. I do not believe that Central Fidelity Bank will
realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect
benefit, however I wish to disclose my relation to this
transaction.
5. 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 Interest Act, I wish to disclose
his interest and declare that e

Re: Request for Conflict of Interest Act Opinion:
Chandler Encroachment Application
Dear Mr. Sessoms:
I am writing,in response to your request for an opinion as
to whether you may participate in discussions and vote on the
Chandler application for an encroachment into a portion of the
right-of-way of 66th Street and oceanfront Avenue.
Summarv Conclusion:
From my review of the Conflict of Interest Act and the
information provided by you as referenced below, I am of the
opinion that you have no person@i interest in the transaction of
the Virginia Beach City Council concerning the above-referenced
encroachment application and thus you may vote on this matter
without restriction. I have, however, set out the disclosure
requirements of SS2.1-639.14(G) should you desire to disclose any
relationship to the transaction and proceed to vote; and I have
also set forth the applicable provisions for abstention set forth
in SS2.1-639.14(E), should you choose not to vote.
I base the aforesaid conclusions on the following facts and
discussions.
Facts Presented:
Your request for an advisory opinion is generated by the
Chandler encroachment application which is currently scheduled on
the agenda for May 29, 1990. You have advised that your area of
concern with respect to the property is that your employer,
central Fidelity Bank, has previously held the deed of trust on
this lot as well as twelve adjacent lots. You have advised that
central Fidelity no longer holds the deed of trust on the
Chandler lot, but still holds deeds of trust on the adjacent
lots. central Fidelity has no continuing interest in the
Chandler lot and there is no foreseeable benefit or detriment to
the remaining lots from the proposed encroachment. The remaining
lots are at this point unimproved.
Issue:
Are you precluded from participating in the discussion and
voting on the above-referenced encroachment application because
of your employment by the bank?
Discussion.
I. licable Definition-.
A. City Council is a governmental agency, as it is a
legislativ6 branch of local government as defined in SS2.1-639.2
of the Virginia State and Local Government Conflict of Interest
Act.
B. You are an officer within the meaning of SS2.1-639.2 of
the above-referenced Act.
C. The application for encroachment to be voted on by City
council is a "transaction" as defined by the Act. The Act
defines a transaction as "any matters considered by
any ... governmental agency on which official action is taken or
contemplated." SS2.1-239.2.
D. "Personal interest" is defined in SS2.1-639.2 as being a
personal and financial benefit or liability which accrues to an
officer, employee, or to an immediate family member. The
interest exists by reason of one of five categories specified
therein, one of which is a sala@y paid or provided by a business
that exceeds $10,000.00 annually.
E. A "personal interest in the transaction" means a
personal interest, as defined above, in any matter considered by
an officer's agency. It is further defined in SS2.1-639.2 as
existing "when an officer ... has a personal interest in property
or a business... and such property [or) business... (i) is the
subject of the transaction or (ii) may realize a reasonably
foreseeable direct or indirect benefit or detriment as the result
of the agency considering the transaction."
II. Application of Definitions:
A. Personal IntE ransa tion test
In the facts you present, you have a "personal interest" in
a business based upon your salary received in excess of
2
$10,000.00 annually. However, the business is not the subject of
the transaction nor will it realize a reasonably foreseeable
direct or indirect benefit or detriment based on the subject
encroachment application.1 Therefore it is my opinion that you
do not have a personal interest in the transaction within the
meaning of the conflict of interest Act.
iii. Disclosure Reguirements of SS2.1-639-14 G
Based on the fact that you have no personal interest in the
Chandler encroachment application, you are not restricted in
voting as to that item. If you are concerned that your
employment may create some appearance of impropriety to those who
do not understand the Conflict of Interest Act, there are two
options available to you. You may either disclose the facts
presented herein and proceed to vote as to this transaction, or
you may abstain from voting and disclose any interest. Either of
these may diffuse any perception problems that may arise.
Enclosed, please find a written declaration forin, should you
decide to declare your interest. This disclosure form is based
on SS2.1-639.14(G). This section provides that you may either
make this declaration orally, which is to be recorded in the
written minutes of the City Council, or you may file a signed
written declaration with the Clerk of City Council, who shall
retain and make this document available for public inspection for
a period of five years from the date of recording or receipt.
If you should desire to abstain from voting, SS2.1-639.14(E)
provides that in such @nstances, the officer shall forthwith make
disclosure of the existence of his interest and his disclosure
shall be reflected in the public records for five years.
As a final note to any conflict of interest opinion, SS2.1-
639.18(c) provides that a written opinion of the City Attornev
made after a full disclosure of the facts, is advisory and
admissible as evidence that the local officer did not knowingly
violate the Act, while a favorable opinion of the Commonwealth's
Attorney as the enforcing officer of the COIA, provides immunity
I In circumstances where the effect of a transaction is
speculative, remote or contingent on factors beyond the officer's
control, it is not reasonably foreseeable that the officer's
personal interest will benefit or suffer as a result of the pending
transaction. Attorney General Opinion to the Honorable William F.
Parkerson, Jr. , Member, Senate of Virginia, dated February 2, 1987.
Additionally the test of reasonable foreseeability is to be applied
at the time of the transaction. COI Adv. Op. No. 6-AO5 (1986);
West v. Jones 228 Va. 409, 415 (1984).
3
from any alleged violation. if you choose to seek an opinion of
the Commonwealth's Attorney, I will be pleased to assist you in
that regard.
Please contact me should you desire any additional
information.
Very truly yours,
Le
City Attorney

UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM # 32903
ADD-ON
Councilman Baum referenced the Ordinance authorizing acquisition of property in
fee simple for right-of-way for Ferrell Parkway from El Camino Real Drive to
Sandbridge Beach, either by agreement or condemnation (ADOPTED by the Council
of the City of Virginia Beach on May 21, 1990).
Councilman Baum had previously forwarded VERBATIM Minutes of this Ordinance and
distributed a copy of a letter from the United States Department of the
Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service from Kenneth G. Lee, regarding the Back
Bay NatioDal Wildlife Refuge expansion proposal. Mr. Baum quoted the second
paragraph of said letter:
"Regarding the access issue for the construction of
the Ferrell Parkway, we recommend that the City of
Virginia Beach acquire the needed rights-of-way
before the Service purchases the lands over which
the parkway would pass."
This letter is hereby made a part of the record.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS ITEM # 32904
ADD-ON
Councilwoman Parker referenced the Merger of the Southeastern Virginia Planning
District Commission with the Peninsula Planning District Commission and
distibuted a sheet itemizing the RECIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS DATA FOR SVPDC prepared
May 29, 1990.
Virginia Beach has 25.4% of the Population and contributes 31.3% of the total
operating cost, receiving only 17.5% of the vote. If the "weighted vote", based
on the amount of population were considered, the City should receive
approximately 10 votes out of a 40-vote base or 12.5 votes, if based on
contribution. Patricia Phillips, Director of Research and Strategic Analysis,
redesigned same so the smallest locality (Franklin) would have at least one
vote. Tn order to assure equal distibution a base of approximately 200 votes
would be derived.
The $700,000 surplus is still not addressed. Councilwoman Parker contacted the
Wasington Council of Government. Mr. John Bosley, legal counsel, advised Wash-
COG has a proportional representation based on population as is proposed by our
merger, but went one step further. In the monthly Board of Directors meeting,
if asked for by a single member, any budgetary item could be decided on a
"weighted vote" versus a simple majority. In addition, if three jurisdictions
request, any other matter may be decided on a "weighted vote". While this
process has been used very sparingly, it recognizes and protects the larger
localities.
Resolution relative the merger shall be SCHEDULED for the City Council agenda
of June 4, 1990.
