SANDBRIDGE EASEMENT DEDICATIONS
12:35 PM.
ITEM # 36477
Carl Thoren, Assistant Director - Public Works, referenced the proposed Federal Hu"icane and Storm
Damage Reduction Project for Sandbridge Beach. Mr. Thoren advised he would review the project scope
and its current status. Leslie L. Lilley, City Attorney, will discuss the easement agreements wherein the
Beach will be dedicated for public recreation use to the City of Virginia Beach.
Mr. Thoren, through the use of slides, displayed an aerial shot of the shoreline of Sandbridge Beach.
Sandbridge is a residential community containing approximately 1650 individual parcels. The project area
is approximately 5 miles long and encompasses 242 oceanfront lots platted into the ocean and therefore
claimed as private beach by the individual property owners. Mr. Thoren displayed a photograph showing
the 3600 block of Sandfuldler Road between Seascape Road to the right and White Cape Lane to the
left. The location and orientation of Sandbridge have rendered the area susceptible to damages associated
with coastal storms and northeasters.
The major storms recorded are the Hu"icane of August 1933 and the Ash Wednesday Storm of March
1962. Recent storms, while relatively minor, have produced damages ranging from loss of residential
structures to the loss of infrastructures, primarily damage to public streets. There is a serious concern that
a breach of Sandbridge could result in environmental degradation to Back Bay. Several other slides taken
during the Halloween Storm of 1991 depict the impact of the storm on the shoreline. A slide taken in
1962 depicts an example of conditions present after portions of the project area were restored under
Emergency Provisions of Public Law 81-875 pursuant to a Presidential Disaster Declaration following
the Ash Wednesday Storm. According to the Corps of Engineers' records approximately 262,000 cubic
yards of sand was placed on the beach as a part of the Ash Wednesday Storm restoration. However, that
was limited to an approximate 2-mile area. The project presently under discussion covers the whole reach
of Sandbridge, approximately 5 miles form Dam Neck Fleet Combat Training Center to Back Bay National
Wildlife Refuge. According to the Corps' estimates a reoccurrence of the 1962 storm would cause damages
estimated at approximately $15-MILLION in October 1991 price levels. The Corps of Engineers has
examined the feasibility of a long term plan for hurricane and stormwater damage reduction under
authority of the Water Resources Development Act of 1974 and determined that a Federal interest exists
in participating in such a project. Naturally for any Federal Corps of Engineers' project, is the
requirement for a local cost-sharing sponsor. By resolution dated August 7, 1990, the Council of the City
of Virginia Beach agreed to be the sponsor for the Corps of Engineers' Beach Nourishment Project at
Sandbridge. The Corps of Engineers completed the Beach Feasibüity Study in June 1992.
The report examined a number of non -structural and structural alternatives during the process leading
to the development of the National Economic Development Plan (NED Plan). The recommended Plan
includes Federal participation in the initial construction and periodic nourishment of a Beach berm fifty
feet wide at elevation 6 feet NGVD with a foreshore slope of 1:20 for a distance of approximately 5 miles
from the Dam Neck Training Center to the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Sketch of the plan was
distributed to City Council and is hereby made a part of the record. The project includes several features:
a beach which would range form 130 to 210 feet wide depending on the tide, an initial placement of
972,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand at a total estimated cost of $8.9-MILLION (of which the
City's Share would be $3.1-MILUON or 35%). The Corps of Engineers would participate in the
periodic nourishment for a period of fifty years. Nourishment is currently estimated at 500,000 cubic yards
of beach quality sand every two years at an estimated cost of $5.2-MILLION with the City's share being
$1.8-MILLION every two years. This would be necessary to maintain the design cross section. Material
for the construction and periodic nourishment of this project would come from offshore. Approximately
3 miles offshore is a zone of beach quality material which has been identified and will be dredged and
pumped onto the beach. Cost sharing would be at the ratio of 65% Federal and 35% City. The project
is designed to provide approximately $3.8-MILLION in average annual benefits. Recreation benefits are
captured in the increased value of this property.

ITEM #I 36477(Continued)
The project produces a benefit cost ratio of 1.2. The net remaining benefits are $736,000 annually. This
project was included in the Water Resources Development Act of 1992. This authorized the project for
construction. The authorization does not include an appropriation for funding of additional study effort
by the Corps or for construction. Any additional efforts beginning with preconstruction engineering and
design refe"ed to as PED, cannot begin until Congress appropriates funds. The Norfolk District, which
is doing this work, has indicated a capability to initiate the necessary planning, engineering and design
studies in fiscal year 1994, which begins October First of this year should funding become available. If
the City is successful in obtaining dedication of a public beach easement, it probably should attempt to
have Federal funds reprogrammed to allow the Corps to continue work beginning in fiscal 1994. If the
Corps is funded in FY 1994 through a reprogramming effort, it is currently their estimate that construction
could commence in the Spring of 1996. The City must provide certain items of local cooperation. The
Corps has completed its review and provided comments on the Draft Dedication of PubUc Recreation and
Construction Agreements which will be utilized to secure the necessary easements from the oceanfront
property owners.
Leslie L. Lilley, City Attorney, addressed the proposed Sandbridge PubUc Recreation Easement
Agreement and Proposed Construction Easement Agreement. Sample copies and ~'Ummation were
distributed to Members of City Council. Mr. Lilley advised the Sandbridge Properties Association, the
United States Army Corps of Engineers and the City Staff have reached agreement on the provisions of
the proposed easements.
The purpose of the easement is to provide for outdoor recreational use
of the beach at Sandbridge by the general public.
The consideration for the easement is the City ~ effort to implement a
storm datnllge protection, hu"icane protection and/or sand
replenishment project.
The easement will include all property east, i.e., seaward, of an
"Easement line" which will be established:
On properties with bulkheads, generally in a north to south
alignment contiguous to, or seaward of, the exposed exterior
surface of each individual existing bulkhead; and,
On properties without bulkheads, the line will be established no
further landward than the face of the most landward bulkhead
nearest the lot, whether to the north or south (lines 28-35).
The easement will "vest", i.e, title will convey to the City:
Upon the City or State entering into a "Local Cooperation
Agreement with the United Sates Army Corps of Engineers" for
any storm damage protection, hurricane protection and/or sand
replenishment projects; or,
Upon the issuance of a "notice to proceed" to a selected
contractor for any non -federally funded storm damage
protection, hu"icane protection and/or sand replenishment
project.
Once vested, the easement granted will be perpetual, i. e, pertnllnent.
Mr. Lilley further advised the indemnity provisions upon vesting, rights retained by the IIlndowner and
additional statements of intent. Said information is hereby made a part of the record.

ITEM 1# 36477(Continued)
VIrtually all of the provisions, as well as the location of the Construction Easement Agreement are
identical to and contained in the Public Recreation Easement Agreement with the following exceptions
and additions:
The purpose of the Construction Easement is to grant to the City and its
assigns a perpetual easement to enter upon, occupy and use the surface
and subsurface of the easement as follows:
To design, survey, engineer, construct or maintain a storm
damage protection or similar project.
To place dredged or excavated material upon any portion to
that easement.
Ingress and egress for contractors, machinery and vehicles in
the design, survey, engineering or construction or maintenance
of a project.
To temporarily construct, erect or place any structures as may
be necessary to implement any Project, and to remove same
within a reasonable time upon completion.
Mr. Lilley expressed appreciation to George Owens, President Oceanfront Property Owners Association,
their Attorney Edward Bourdon, the Army Corps of Engineers and Carl Thoren.
Mr. Thoren advised there are approximately 40 plus or minus public access points to the beach and the
City, through the Department of General Services, is committed to maintaining those. Individual access
from property owners is not open to the general public.
This item will be SCHEDULED for the City Council Session of February 9, 1993.
