ITEM # 42579
Mr. Tom Ward, I/ice President - Virginia Beach Beautification Commission, advised, in conjunction with
Edward Barnes - Landscape Services, a large number of areas have been investigated for the Community
Color Program. Three have been chosen which appear to have the most impact. The kind of materials
which will give a color impact in all four seasons have been chosen.
COLOR PROJECT
Princess Anne Road at Newtown Road
Total estimated cost of City installation

1,118. 70
Princess Anne Road at Larkspur School

$62,518.63
$ & 066. O0
$ 5,404. 70
$94,951.16
The annual maintenance cost will be approximately $12,000. ~llong Princess Anne Road at Newtown,
there will be approximately 950 feet of plantable medium, which will extend considerably from the
Newtown intersection. At Northampton Boulevard, the planting will extend from Wesleyan Drive to
Diamond Springs Road, with approximately 3600 feet of plantable medium. This will replicate the
accomplishments along Independence Boulevard, Pembroke and Military Highway Gateways. Princess
Anne Road, at Larkspur, is a very high density residential and will contain 1140 feet of plantable
medium in front of Larkspur Middle School. Information relative the plant materials to be utilized and
their location was distributed and is hereby made a part of the record. The details have been compiled
by Landscape Services. These have been finalized and, with City Council's concurrance, will proceed
October 1, 1997.
The work at Princess Anne Road at Newtown Road is to be performed by the City employees of
Landscape Services. The other two locations have been recommended to be contracted. These plants
should endure during the drought-like seasons. The pansies are the only planting which is not a perrenial.
Hopefully, the appearance will cause private property owners to beautify their portion. Regarding public-
private participation, the Commission is in discussion with a group which they hope will undertake a
similar project at another intersection location within the City.
$100,000 has been ~4PPROPRIATED in the Capital Improvement Program for this project.
Mr. Ward had previously recommended the establishment of an Appearance and Enhancement
Commission. Mr. Ward wished to table this recommendation until the Program has demonstrated to the
City Council and citizens this project is worthy of annual funding.
BY CONSENSUS, the Commission shall proceed with the Community Color Program on October First.
Eddie Barnes advised, with the exception of Fortieth and ~4tlantic Avenue, there are no mediums which
are irrigated so the plantings will be drought resistent. This is one of the first factors considered.

CITY COUNCIL BRIEFINGS
R UDEE INLET MAINTENANCE DREDGING AL TERNA TIVES STUD Y
12:15 NOON
ITEM # 42580
Tom Langley, P.E., Langley and McDonald, advised the firm was retained by the City to review the May
6, 1996, Rudee Inlet Maintenance Policy Report performed by City staff. Mr. Langley referenced an
Article in BO,4T/US Magazine of September 8, 1997, entitled "Sand Trap/Stirs Up Dredging Debate",
depicting a photograph of the grounding and swamping of the 66-foot sport fisherman in Rudee Inlet
on February 1996. Mr. Langley recognized his father, George Langley, the original designer of Rudee
Inlet. Copies of the article were distributed to City Council..4 1983 Study by the Corps of Engineers
addressed the financial benefits of maintaining a navigable channel. The current annual benefits exceed
$5,424,000 to the City. Mr. Langley cited passages of a more current report: "Saltwater Angling and its
Economic Importance to Virginia"by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, School of Marine Science
and College of William and Mary: "Relative to catching or pursuing gulf stream species such as Tuna,
Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin and Shark: In 1994 anglers spent $54-MILLION. " '~gain in 1994, anglers from
the ~4tlantic Coast spent $103-MILLION on saltwater angling in the ~4tlantic Coast areas of Chesapeake
and Virginia Beach." Therefore keeping a navigable inlet is of significant financial advantage to the City
of Virginia Beach.
From a schematic, Mr. Langley advised the wave direction affects the sand direction. In this area, the net
sand movement is toward the north at about 225,000 cubic yards per year. This is the volume of sand
the City must deal with. Rudee Inlet was designed as a sand trap inlet. There are several sand trap inlets
along the East Coast of the United States. It is not a new concept. The problem is how to handle this
225,000 cubic yards of sand each year. The City has a local cooperation agreement with the Corps of
Engineers. On an annual basis in March or ~4pril, sand accumulated will be cleaned out for the boating
season The Corps has been averaging 85,000 yards per year in that operation since 1991. The balance
of the material has to be removed by the City with the City's dredge and equipment ~4 third option would
be to privatize this operation. However, if you do not have the City dredge there to handle almost
constant shoaling and keep the sandtrap down, it is estimated that approximately 6 mobilizations will be
required by a private dredge in order to maintain this inlet. This inlet can shoal up in less than a 60-day
time period. The City needs to have the capacity to bypass the City's portion of the little drift (225,000
cubic yards). ~lfter the Corps bypasses 85,000 cubic yards, the City must bypass their portion of 140,000
cubic yards annually. The City has been averaging 74,000 cubic yards per year. There is a large
variation in this figure. Since 1991, the figure of 225,000 has varied from a Iow of120, O00 to a high of
210,000. Increase the amount of time the dredge is operating or increaseproduction rate of the dredge.
Specifically, Langley and McDonaM recommended additional personnel (six) be hired to complete two
shifts of seven each working the current schedule, including daytime dredging during the tourist season.
These personnel, their supervisor, and any others involved in the administration of the dredging operation,
should participate in a training program to include the basic laws of dredging and a computer simulation
of the Rudee Inlet II. The dredge should be equipped with a strap-on-slurry velocity gage and a magnetic
swing compass. By incorporating these personnel, operational and equipment alternatives, the Rudee Inlet
H should produce 270 cy/hr in the sand trap, a 54% increase compared to the current assumed 175
cy/hr. Whenever weather conditions permit, the Rudee Inlet H should concentrate on bypassing material
that has deposited outside the Inlet on the entrance bar. However, when shoaling of the entrance bar
begins to create a hazardous condition and calm weather conditions are not anticipated, then outside
contractors must be engaged to return the channel to safe navigation. It also their recommendation that
the entrance bar area be dredged to a depth of 16' - 20' to reduce the frequency of maintenance
dredging. As a secondary priority, the City dredge should maintain the sand trap at its current design
depth. Deepening the sand trap another 5' incurs the expense of lengthening the spuds and changing the
ladder from the "Dutchman" to the straight configuration. Since the straight configuration cannot be
used to dredge the channel, then it would probably require changing back to the "Dutchman"
configuration several times per year. This alternative should not be implemented unless additional capacity
to bypass material is warranted. Likewise, changing the suction and discharge lines to 16" pipe is not
justified at this time. The offshore breakwater option has the greatest potential to provide additional
dredging days at a positive benefit to cost ratio. If the structure could be sited such that additional waves
from the southeast and northeast are blocked, then the economic viability of the structure will increase.
.4n additional study was recommended to evaluate the wave climate, verify the assumptions made and to
develop the design parameters and possible impacts of the offshore breakwater.

R UDEE INLET MAINTENANCE DREDGING AL TERNA TIVES STUD Y
ITEM # 42580 (Continued)
This operation is weather dependent. Private dredging operators desire to dredge 22 out of 24 hours, 7
days a week This may be a philosophy that is difficult to apply to City employees. ,4 comprehensive time
policy was suggested. If the City employees are working 50 to 60 hours a week in good weather, perhaps
they can buiM a banh of hours so that when the weather is not good, they wouM still be able to be paid.
The concept of extending the north jetty in a dogleg to the north to create storage for southerly littoral
drift should also be further evaluated after other improvements in the maintenance dredging program are
implemented. Further evaluation of the effects of these projects on Rudee Inlet is recommended using the
GENESIS shoreline computer model to more accurately model the fill movement and sediment transport
rate into Rudee Inlet. The GENESlS program could also be used to evaluate the impacts of three beach
projects adjacent to Rudee inlet. If the sediment transport rate is going to increase significantly, the entire
management plan may need to be modified.

The ,4rmy Corps of Engineers' Dredge "Currituck" would not be an appropriate dredge for the
maintenance here because of its difficulty in maneuvering in and around the sand trap, which is the
primary function of the City. In terms of buying a larger dredge, it is the opinion of Langley and
McDonald, the current dredge is adequate.
Phillip Roehrs, Civil Engineer, advised the cost of the dredge was $900,000 and the projected life span
is fifty (50) years. The factory representative of the manufacturer visited the City 6 months ago and
advised the value of the dredge is more today than when it was when purchased. With replacing the power
plant, diesel engine, pump, caterpillar, the dredge should last indefinitely. Mr. Roehrs believed
approximately $35-80,000 per year for parts were expended. Mr. Roehrs further advised Dr. Basco, at
Old Dominion University, believes if net sand movement is towards the north at about 225,000 cubic
yards, as much as 1.4-MILLION cubic years moves from the south to the north each year and 1.2-
MILLION moves from the north to the south each year.
Mr. Langley advised it would be beneficial in good weather to expand the limits as imposed by the Corps
and overdredge. Mr. Langley will provide recommendations relative these depths.
Councilman Harrison advised Claude M. Bain, Director of the Virginia Salt Water Tournament, is willing
to present City Council an Executive Summary of the document "Saltwater Angling and its Economic
Importance to Virginia".
A Briefing and Pubfic Comment Session shall be SCHEDULED relative the Rudee Inlet Maintenance
Dredging with displays of maps. It was suggested this be held in the smaller auditorium of the Virginia
Marine Science Museum. Mr Bain shall be invited to be in attendance.

This DEFERRAL will enable a verbatim to be provided relative this cross access easement and whether
this was a condition of the 1987 rezoning to Office District. Apparently, the easement was not legally
recorded. The applicant will receive legal advise relative this access.
Robert J. Scott, Director of Planning, advised one of the conditions of this zoning was: "Property shall
have only one (1) curb cut from General Boulevard with reciprocal use granted to the adjoining property
on the North. Mr. Scott's memorandum of September 3, 1997, was referenced relative the site not being
large enough to be developed It is a residual site left over from the General Booth Boulevard project
dating to the early 1980s. Mr. Scott's recommendation was the property be purchased by the City because
it is too small to develop. Said letter is hereby made a part of the record.
