Description and Scog, e
Th~s project is for the demohbon of the ong~nal and temporary p~er walkway pd~ngs as well as for the design and construcbon
of a new, elevated, ADA-comphant wooden access walkway from the L~ttle Island Park stahon house, restroom facd~ty, and
p~cmc area to the pier Also to be accomplished w~th this project, the metal pzpe, formerly used to pump water from the pzer to
Back Bay, w~ll also be permanently removed from underneath the ex~shng walkway
Purpose and Need
Beach erosion and the harsh salt-water enwronment have s~gntflcantly corroded the original steel pdes to the point that their
replacement ~s required to prowde safe access to and from the p~er In add~hon, the p~er walkway was constructed prior to
modern ADA standards and consequently ~s nonconforming for providing access to physically-challenged persons A rusty,
metal p~pe which was formerly used to pump water from the p~er to Back Bay was never removed and penod~cally becomes
exposed (due to erosion and dune m~gratlon) underneath the walkway causing potenbally hazardous condlhons for
beachgoers and park patrons passing underneath the walkway F~nally, dunehne m~grabon has become a significant
maintenance ~ssue for the current concrete walkway which connects the park office, restroom, and p~clmc facd~hes to the p~er
In order to explore soluttons to the on-going problems assoctated with the p~er, a s~te access assessment was performed by
an eng~neenng consultant m May 2001 The results of the study and schedule for proposed funding ~s the basis for th~s
project
History and Current Status
This project is new in the FY 2002-03 CIP as requested but nof funded The p~er walkway was ong~mally constructed over 22
years ago Erosion and the salt environment corroded the pier access walk to the point that ~t was deemed unsafe in
September 2001 In order to be able to re-open the pier, in October 2001, temporary pdlngs were used to support the ong~nal
walkway Currently maintenance is provided through regular park ma~ntenace at Little Island Park It is anbc~pated that the new
pier wdl reduce the needed ma~ntenace

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: The Taylor Group LLLP, Claude P. Brown, Betty B. Bourdon, Paul S.
Bourdon & R. Edward Bourdon, Jr. - Street Closure (Portion of Old London
Bridge Road)
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of The Taylor Group, LLLP for the
d~scontinuance, closure and abandonment of a port~on of Old London Bridge
Road beginning at a point approximately 170 feet east of Harpers Road to its
intersection with London Bridge Road (relocated). DISTRICT 6- BEACH
Considerations:
The portion of Old London Bridge Road requested for closure is currently a paper
street. The lots on this portion of Old London Bridge Road are zoned R-20
Residential D~stnct and a small portion is zoned R-40 Residenbal District.
On September 14, 1993, City Council approved a request to close this same
port~on of Old London Bridge Road ~n conjuncbon with the Churchdl Downs'
application for a horse race track on this property. As Churchill Downs did not
receive a I~cense from the Commonwealth of Virginia to operate the track, the
street closure was not completed. The owners of the property, who were also
the owners of the property at the time of the 1993 request, now desire to proceed
with the closure of the right-of-way.
Staff is not supportive of th~s request, primarily because, unlike the previous
approval, there is no plan of development associated w~th the future use of the
majority of the s~te. It is unclear how th~s right-of-way will be incorporated ~nto any
future development of this parcel, s~nce neither a concept plan nor a site plan
was submitted w~th this request
Staff recommended denial. There was no opposibon to the request.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a mobon by a recorded vote of 10-0 w~th 1
abstention to approve th~s request with the following cond~bons:
Taylor Group, Brown, and Bourdon

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan Map ~denbfies this site as suitable for suburban employment
including business parks, offices and appropriately located industrial and employment
support uses. Located w~thm the Courthouse/Sandbridge Planning Area, the Plan
recommends that property management and development within th~s area take into
account environmental ~ssues, open space needs, and quality aesthebcs.
Evaluation of Request
Th~s request cannot be recommended for approval.
On September 14, 1993, City Council approved a request to close this same portion of
Old London Bridge Road in conjunction with the Churchill Downs' applicabon for a horse
race track on this property As Churchill Downs did not receive a I~cense from the
Commonwealth of V~rginia to operate the track, the street closure was not completed.
The owners of the property, who were also the owners of the property at the time of the
1993 request, now desire to proceed with the closure of the right-of-way. Staff, however,
~s not supportive of th~s request, primarily because, unlike the previous approval, there
~s no plan of development associated with the future use of the majority of the site. It ~s
unclear how this right-of-way w~ll be ~ncorporated into any future development of this
parcel, s~nce neither a concept plan nor a s~te plan was submitted with th~s request.
The apphcant's representative has ~nd~cated that ~t ~s the ~ntent of the owner of Parcel C-
1 to develop the site by right under the ex~sbng zoning of R-20 Residential D~stnct. Th~s
Planning Commission Agenda

approximately 49 acre site is currently undeveloped and not encumbered by restrictive
easements of the Un~ted States Navy as is the case with a majority of the property on
either the north or south side of Old London Bridge Road. With regard to the portion of
Old London Bridge Road within the restrictive easement, the apphcant's representative
has stated that it is the intent of the property owners to continue use of the property
consistent with the agricultural uses ongoing to date.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends use of this site for "suburban employment"
including business parks, offices and appropriately located industrial and employment
support uses. Both the Staff and the V~ewers d~d not feel that th~s request has been
completely substantiated nor has a "need" for this public right-of-way been
demonstrated in a manner consistent w~th the recommendations within the
Comprehensive Plan. It ~s customary that w~th street closure requests of this
magnitude, that the request include a plan indicating specifically how the desired right-
of-way w~ll be used. Until such plans are submitted, it ~s difficult for Staff and the
V~ewers to determine ~f ~t ~s appropriate for the City to agree to d~sposal of th~s public
property. Based on th~s, Staff ~s not supportive of th~s request.
Should this request be approved, however, staff recommends that the following
conditions be included.
Conditions
.
.
The City Attorney's Office shall make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Copies of the
policy are available in the Planning Department.
The applicant shall resubdiv~de the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcels. The plat shall be submitted
and approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.
The applicant shall verify that no private ut~ht~es ex~st within the right-of-way
proposed for closure. Prehm~nary comments from the utihty companies indicate
that there are no private utihhes within the right-of-way proposed for closure. If
private utilities do ex~st, easements satisfactory to the utility company shall be
prowded.

Ronald Rlpley: I've done that Eddie too.
Eddie Bourdon: What I'm passing around to each of you 1s a copy of the Navy
Declaration taking the AICUZ easement that was acqmred over the property, I'm going
to describe to you in a moment. Back in the year 1982, this ~s an application that you all
heard this morning to close a portion of Old London Bridge Road that untd about 10
years ago was paved and was the road that begins at a pmnt of a few hundred feet east of
Harper's Road and extends across what is today cultivated farm fields w~th no
improvements on th~s whole right-of-way, all the way down here to where the old fight-
of-way comes back into the new right-of-way across from the condominiums that the
Dragas Company bmlt as part of the Castleton subd~ws~on. The area of Old London
Bridge Road ~n question was closed by ordinance of City Council back ~n 1993 as a part
of the Churchdl Downs application when we were hoping to have a thoroughbred race
track on th~s property. The closure was in no way shape nor form conditioned at that
t~me upon whether Churchdl Downs got a hcense or not, but Churchdl Downs was
suppose to take care of finishing the closure of the street and pa3ang for lt. That didn't
happen and yours truly the fool has h~mself for a client faded to push them to complete ~t
so basmally it dropped through the cracks and we're back today to do whmh Councd has
already approved one t~me w~thout any conditions attached other than the conditions that
are in your evaluation and your write up. The hne you see right here ~s the line of
demarcation of the Navy's easement that I passed you all out copies of. Now the
easement that I gave you a copy of impacts th~s property here whmh ~s the
Brown/Bourdon property but identical easement impacts all of the Taylor Group property
here and all the property down below Old London Bridge Road above New London
Bridge Road. The only port~on of the property surrounding Old London Bridge Road
that is not restricted by those easements ~s th~s section here at the southeast corner of Old
London Bridge Road. All the property has R-20 zoning on it, however, only th~s sectmn
here can be developed with the R-20 zoning. All of the encumbered property can only be
used for agriculture or for a pubhc utlhty station. And that's exactly what exists right
here. Venzon has a little switching station here. Those are the only uses that are allowed
under that easement on any of this property, is agriculture or a public utdlty substation.
There is absolutely, positively no intention whatsoever, interest, etc, that any public
utdlty station on any of this property. And any development that might occur on this
property in the future would reqmre a rezomng. The City of Virgima Beach, the
Planmng Commission and C~ty Council have absolute control over any change from
Agriculture on any of this property ~nto which th~s closed street would be ~ncorporated
with the closure, which is what was supposed to happen many years ago. Th~s section
here at the southeast comer will be ~ncorporated into th~s property, which has R-20
zoning which there is a purchaser on from The Taylor Group and they wall be
subd~mdlng the property ~nto residential budding lots w~th one entrance, etc. And, to
leave this road there and improve th~s road in addition to the entrance of the subd~wsion
would really not make any sense whatsoever from a development standpoint. So, we're
requesting this street be closed as was already been unanimously approved for closure, by
Planmng Commission and City Council 10 years ago with the same conditions that were
attached then. We obviously will be paying for the land. And, it's a fmrly significant
amount of land in total of 3.3 acres. And, the property will be put on the tax rolls and the
city will beg~n to generate some ~ncome from lt. Not a huge amount but then again,
soybean fields don't generate a lot of demand for c~ty services either. So, we would
respectfully request that the apphcat~on be approved, as ~t was 10 years ago and sent on
to C~ty Councd subject to the conditions that are contmned in the staff report which are
acceptable to us.
Ronald R~pley: Are there any questions? Charhe Salle'.
Charlie Salle': What uses d~d you say was allowed on the property by the easement?
Ed&e Bourdon: The only use that is allowed under the zoning on the property is
agriculture or a pubhc utility station. And, ~f you look on page at the top it wall say 0887.
Walt, I'm off a page. It will say 0888 and look down under number two. These are uses
that are not prohibited by everything that came before it and you go through that hst as I
have and staff has this as well. And, you look at R-20 zoning, which the property has
there are only two uses permitted under R-20 zomng that are permitted under these
restrictions that are held by the Department of Defense and that ~s number four and
number two. Number two, pubhc utd~t~es installations, stations, storages and offices,
agmn, that is for pubhc utd~tles. And, number four ~s agriculture and horticulture uses.
There are no other uses that are permitted under these restrictions that are permitted ~n R-
20 zoning. And, If you look at 0886, the bottom of the page, restrlct~on B1, "property
shall not be used for any of the following" and number one, "any type of residential
dwelhng" and ~t goes on and on. You can read through those. There ~s no use for that
p~ece of property under the current zoning except for what ~t ~s currently used for and
that's all that's ~ntended is that the property be put ~nto the emst~ng property and put on
the tax rolls and ~t will continue to be farmed. The property that we own is not for sale in
anyway, shape nor form. We have been ~n negotiations w~th The Taylor Group and may
well buy some of the surrounding property and add ~t to our farm g~ven the mrcumstances
that they're ~n terms of all the property being for sale and we would be part of the
process. But, there ~s no plan on our part to develop and there is no plan on their part to
develop. They're selhng the property for reasons that everyone is aware of.
Ronald Ripley: Are there any other questions? You alnght Charlie?
Charhe Salle': Yes.
Ronald R~pley: Is them anybody else speaking in favor? Is there anybody speaking
opposed? Okay. Do you want to d~scuss it? Are there any comments? Jan.
Jamce Anderson: Just to make a quick comment. I would support the apphcat~on. I th~nk
the recommendation Is for demal because there's not an attached plan. We're developing
on the s~te that is associated with the closure of the street but the basic ~s not the street.
It's not going to be used by the city. They don't have any plans to use it ~n the future.
The public will not be adverse by the closing of the street. Half of it is not even paved.
There's no pubhc utilities or any kind of facility in there so I don't see why I shouldn't
support ~t.
Ronald Rtpley: Okay. Charhe.
Charhe Salle': I would support the apphcat~on. I understand the staff's position that they
normally have some sort of plan which accompanies a street closure but in th~s case there
being no uses for the property other than having agriculture use. I'm not sure what k~nd
of plan you can come with that would do anything more than say ~t would be a farm. It's
zoned R-20 and probably at some point ~t may be a request to rezone the property
terms of some adjustable use. At that time, I th~nk we can address any Issues that would
we probably address with respect a plan accompany this closure in a more detailed
fashion. So, I th~nk we're pretty well protected and we don't need a plan for a farm and
that should anything else happen we'll get another look at
Ronald R~pley: Does anybody else have any comment?
Robert Miller: I need to abstain. My firm is working on th~s project.
Ronald Rlpley: Does anybody want to make a motion?
Dorothy Wood: I'd like to make a motion that we approved Item #17, The Taylor Group.
Ronald R~pley: A motion by Dot Wood, seconded by Barry Knight. Is there any further
d~scuss~on? Heanng none, let's call for the question.

CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: The next item on consent is Item #19. It's VTC one, L.L.C. It's an
Ordinance upon Application of VTC one, L.L.C. for a discontinuance, closure and
abandonment of a portion of Regent University Drive in the Centervdle District and it has
five conditions. Yes sir.
Sam Kroll: I'm Sam Kroll. I'm with Williams Mulhns representing the applicant.
We've reviewed the conditions and they are all acceptable.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Kroll.
Sam Kroll: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Is there any opposition to Item #19, VTC One, L.L.C., an ordinance
upon apphcatlon of VTC for a closure of a portion of Regent University Drive with five
conditions? Heanng none, Mr. Strange, would you explain why the Planmng
Commission put this one on consent agenda?
Joseph Strange: Sure. Item #19 is a street closure for a portion of Regent University
Drive. That's about 420 feet. The purpose is to close a port~on of Regent University
Drive to incorporate the area into a site being developed for a large office complex. And
the site plan for this office complex is currently under review by the City. The portion of
Regent University requested for closure is currently an undeveloped right-of-way. The
Comprehensive Plan recommends this area be developed with office uses consistent with
the underlying zoning I-1 Light Industrial District. The Viewers Committee has
determined that the request to close a pomon of Regent University Drive will not result
m a public inconvenience. The property will be incorporated into a high quality office
complex that is being developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan
recommendation for this area. This is another comment under the proposal here that this
office complex they're projecting may employ about 2,000 people in that area there.
With five conditions attached to it we recommend that ~s be consented.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Mr. Rlpley, I would move to approve this item on the
consent agenda, which is Item #19, VTC One. It's an ordinance upon application of VTC
One, L.L.C. for a closure of a portion of Regent University Drive in the Centervdle
District with five conditions.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Back Bay Christian Assembly of God - Modification of a Conditional Use
Permit (church)
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Back Bay Chnsban Assembly of God for
Modification of a Condibonal Use Permit for a church approved by C~ty Councd
on June 22, 1999. Property is located at 1196 Princess Anne Road (GPIN
2401812439). DISTRICT 7- PRINCESS ANNE
The purpose of this request is to modify the cond~bon that limited the
development to that depicted on the approved s~te plan submitted in 1999, ~n
order to allow the construction of a 10,000 square foot building for additional
classrooms and a gymnasium.
Considerations:
As the proposed 10,000 square foot addition was not depicted on the plan
approved by C~ty Council in 1999, a modification to the existing Cond~bonal Use
Permit, as described below, is requested.
The applicant ~s proposing to construct a 10,000 square foot, freestanding
building adjacent to the existing structure. The 80 foot by 125 foot building will
provide additional classroom space and a gymnasium; however, the number of
students w~ll not ~ncrease. Due to the frag~hty of the exisbng sepbc system, the
Health Department has I~m~ted the number of students attending the school to 60.
The older students who are currently using the sanctuary as classrooms dunng
the week will use the new classrooms The proposed gymnasium, located w~th~n
the structure, will be for the exclusive use of the students attending the school.
No intramural or community acbwties are planned for th~s building.
The Planning Commission placed th~s item on the consent agenda because the
expansion of the existing use ~s appropriate for the s~te. Staff recommended
approval. There was no oppos~bon to the request.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following cond~bons

and a gymnasium
Major Issues:
The church and school have an existing private well located in the rear of the
property and a septic system located w~thin the City's right-of-way due to poor
sods on s~te. It is essenbal that these systems remain protected during
construction and are not overburdened due to the request.

June of 1998, City Councd approved a Use Permit that authorized the operation of a
preschool ~n a trailer adjacent to the sanctuary. In 1999, a request for a 2,250 square
foot expansion to the church was also approved. Most recently ~n 2001, the church was
granted a Conditional Use Permit to operate a ch~ldcare facility.
In the vicinity, on a separate parcel to the southwest, C~ty Council approved a
Conditional Use Permit and a Subdivision Variance for s~ngle-family development ~n
1992. On a site to the northwest, City Council also granted a Conditional Use Permit for
a retail sales operation ~n 1982.

City water and sewer are not avadable. The church and school have an ex~sting private
well located ~n the rear of the property and, due to poor so~ls on s~te, a sepbc system
located w~thin the City's right-of-way.
The Health Department has agreed to the proposed plans subject to the following
conditions:
,
The daily wastewater flow would not be increased. The
present number of students would not be ~ncreased (maximum
of sixty (60) full-time students per year).
,
The gym will not be used for any ~ntramural sports and/or
community activities. The use of the gym will be for the physical
education instrucbon of the Back Bay Christian Academy Students.

e~ther a sink or a stove in the addition shall be prohibited unless otherwise
authorized by the Health Department.
2. The existing modular building must be removed at the time that the addition is
completed or by August 2000, whichever comes first.
3. Site development shall be in substantial conformance with the s~te plan and
rendenngs exhibited to the Planning Commission and C~ty Council.
4. All setbacks shall be measured from the ulbmate right-of-way for Princess Anne

.
Dunng site plan review, calculabons shall be submitted to verify that the ex~sbng
stormwater management facility ~s s~zed to treat the new ~mpervious surface
generated by the proposed addition.
As the proposed 10,000 square foot addibon was not depicted on the plan approved by
City Council in 1999, a modification to the exisbng Conditional Use Permit, as described
below, ~s requested.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 10,000 square foot, freestanding
building adjacent to the exisbng structure. The 80 foot by 125 foot building
will provide additional classroom space and a gymnasium; however, the
number of students will not increase. Due to the frag~hty of the existing
septic system, the Health Department has hm~ted the number of students
attending the school to 60. The older students who are currently using the
sanctuary as classrooms during the week will use the new classrooms.
The proposed gymnasium, located w~thin the structure, wdl be for the
exclusive use of the students attending the school No ~ntramural or
community activities are planned for th~s budding.
· No add~bonal parking spaces on the s~te or seats ~n the sanctuary are
proposed.
The s~te plan does depict additional pavement extending from the parking
lot to provide a one-way drop off and p~ck up area at the proposed
gymnasium. Addibonal sidewalk is also shown ~n front of the new building

Architecturally, the new building ,s proposed with a brick front fa(;ade and
tan metal right, rear and left facades and a metal roof, all in colors that
match the exisbng building. Accents are proposed at the main entry and
around the front w~ndows
Evaluation of Request
The modification to the ex~stmg Conditional Use Permit appears to be reasonable and is
recommended for approval subject to the condibons below
The applicant has worked w~th the Health Department to ensure that the sewage
d~sposal and water systems wdl be protected. When the church was imbally approved,
~t was understood that expansion poss~bilibes were I~mited due to the poor soils on the
s~te. As this request does not increase the number of seats ~n the sanctuary nor does
the student enrollment increase, this request ~s acceptable
Conditions
Other than the modificabons I~sted below, all conditions set forth in the
Conditional Use Permit approved by City Council on June 22, 1999, shall remain
in effect.
2. The development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the concept

CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: The next item is Item # 11, the Back Bay Christian Assembly of God.
It's an Ordinance upon Application of Back Bay ChnsUan Assembly of God for
modification of a Conditional Use Permit for a church, which was approved by City
Council on June 22, 1999. This is in the Pnncess Anne District and it is on Pnncess
Anne Road and we have four condmons Yes sir.
Kemn Mflcarek: My name is Kevln Mflcarek. I'm Pastor of the church.
Dorothy Wood. Have you read the four conditions?
Kevln Mflcarek: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there anyone who has an objection to Item #11, the Back
Bay Christian Assembly located on Pnncess Anne Road in the Pnncess Anne Borough?
Hearing none, Jan.
Jamce Anderson: Okay. Thank you. This is a modfficatlons for conditions of a
Conditional Use Permit that was already issued on this site for Back Bay Christian back
in 1999 and what the change they're requesting is a proposed 10,000 square foot building
which will be a separate but adjacent to the current building that they have on the site
now. It will be 80 foot x 125 feet and the reason is to provide classrooms and a
gymnasium for the school. The school currently is holding classes in the sanctuary so
this will give a more adequate use of the property. They will have their own
braiding/gymnasium. The only concern that the Commission had was there's a fragile
sewer/water system at that site but since no additional students will be added to the
school, this would not affect that system so the use is appropriate and this expansion the
Commission deemed appropriate also.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Jan. Thank you Pastor Mflcarek.
Kevln Mflcarek: Okay. Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Mr Rlpley, I would move to approve this item on the consent agenda,
which is Item #11 and it's the Back Bay Christian Assembly of God with four conditions.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Bay Reflections Building, L.L.C. - Subdivision Variance
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
Appeal to Decisions of Adm~nistrabve Officers in regard to certain elements of the
Subdiwsion Ordinance, Subdivision for Bay Reflections Building, UL.C Property
~s located on the east s~de of Shoveller Avenue, 391.80 feet north of Mdl Dam
Road (GPIN 2408295759; 2408292885; 2408292880) DISTRICT 5-
LYNNHAVEN
Considerations:
The existing lot has a total area of 4.89 acres (4.12 acres is outside of wetlands).
The ex~sting lot w~dth is 335 feet The applicant intends to subdiwde the property
~nto four lots. Three standard lots would front Shoveller Avenue and meet
minimum requirements The fourth lot has a lot w~dth of only 59 feet due to the
presence of a 30-foot drainage easement along the southern boundary of the
property. Lot requirements listed ~n Secbon 200 of the Zoning Ordinance do not
allow utihty easements greater than 20 feet w~de to apply toward m~n~mum lot
requirements. Were ~t not for the 30-foot drainage easement on the southern
s~de, th~s property would have enough width to create four lots.
A variance from the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board was approved
July 28, 2003 for the subject property. One of the conditions of this variance
requires the driveway associated w~th lot 4 to he between lots 2 and 3. The
cond~bon required an ingress/egress easement be provided for the driveway.
However, staff recommends a 'flagpole' of lot 4 between lots 2 and 3 rather than
an easement to keep the driveway on lot 4's property. Th~s eliminates potential
future problems with ownership and maintenance of the driveway.
Recommended conditions below also ensure a w~de-enough access to the
structure on Lot 4 and require the driveway for Lot 4 be constructed so that fire-
flghbng equipment can reach ~t
The Planning Commission placed th~s ~tem on the consent agenda because the
drainage easement and Iocabon w~thin the Chesapeake Bay Preservabon Area
have presented hardships for the development of this s~te. Staff recommended
approval. There was no oppos~bon to the request.

Zoninq History
A Subd~wsion Variance was recently approved for a flag lot on the west s~de of
Shoveller Avenue, opposite the subject property Another Subdivision Variance was
approved for two flag lots north of the property, which also use Shoveller Avenue for
access.
A variance from the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board was approved July 28,
2003 for the subject property. One of the cond~bons of th~s variance requires the
driveway associated with lot 4 to I~e between lots 2 and 3. The cond~bon required an
~ngress/egress easement be prowded for the driveway. However, staff recommends a
'flagpole' of lot 4 between lots 2 and 3 rather than an easement to keep the driveway on
lot 4's property. This eliminates potential future problems with ownership and
maintenance of the driveway.

Evaluation of Request
Staff evaluation of a Subdivision Variance is based on several factors, including the
degree of compliance with City ordinances and regulabons, consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan, and adherence to good accepted land use and development
practices and theory. Personal hardship does not enter ~nto the Staff's evaluation.
Above all, Staff's evaluabon ~s based on Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance,
which addresses variances to the ordinance Section 9.3 of the Subd~ws~on Ordinance
states'
Secbon 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states'
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless ~t finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B.
The authorization of the variance wdl not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be
adversely affected.
C.
The problem involved ~s not of so general or recurring a nature as to make
reasonably pracbcable the formulation of general regulabons to be
adopted as an amendment to the ordinance
D.
The hardship is created by the physical character of the property,
~nclud~ng d~mens~ons and topography, or by other extraordinary s~tuation
or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property
immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not
be considered as grounds for the ~ssuance of a variance.
E
The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which
the property ~s located at the time the variance is authorized whenever
such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated
by reference in this ordinance.
The applicant's request for a Subd~wsion Variance presented in th~s proposal is
acceptable. Were ~t not for the 30-foot drainage easement on the southern s~de, th~s
property would have enough w~dth to create four lots. The Ordinance does not allow
ubl~ty easements to count towards m~n~mum lot requirements because, under normal
c~rcumstances, the resulting building envelope would be too narrow for construction of a
standard dwelling In th~s case, however, restncbons of the Chesapeake Bay
Preservation Area Ordinance require that the house for the fourth lot be located behind
lot 3. Therefore, the drainage easement does not affect the building envelope for lot 4,
Planning Commission Agenda
October 8, 2003
BAY REFLECTIONS BUILDING LLC / # 12
Page 5
and the creabon of lot 4 does not present a problem with too narrow a building envelope
resulting from the drainage easement. The area for lot 4 ~s well above the minimum
requirement of 10,000 square feet. Recommended conditions below also ensure a
wide-enough access to the structure on Lot 4 and require the driveway for Lot 4 be
constructed so that fire-fighting equipment can reach it. Therefore, th~s application is
recommended for approval, subject to the conditions listed below.
Conditions
The property shall be subdivided as shown on the plat enbtled, "CBPA Exhibit of
Shoveller Avenue for Bay Reflections Budding, LLC" dated 6/20/03 by Kellam-
Gerw~tz Engineering, Inc However, the plat shall be revised to reduce the lot
w~dths for Lots 2 and 3 to 80 feet. The area between lots 2 and 3 shall be 15 feet
wide and shall be part of Lot 4
2. All existing interior lot lines shall be vacated.
3. The w~dth and surface material for the driveway serving Lot 4 shall be subject to
approval by the Fire Department. All residenbal structures shall be w~thin 500
feet of a fire hydrant.
4. On Lots 2 and 3, an easement shall be recorded prohibiting any structures within
two feet of the stem of the flag lot (Lot 4).
NOTE:
Upon granting of a subdivision variance, a final subdivision
plat must be submitted to the Development Services Center
for approval and recordation.
Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances.

October 8, 2003
CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: The next item ~s Item #12, Bay Reflections Building, LLC. It's an
Appeal to Decisions of Adm~mstrative Officers ~n regard to certmn elements of the
Subd~v~slon Ordinance. Subdivision for Bay Reflections Building, LLC located on the
east s~de of Shoveller Avenue. That is ~n the Lynnhaven D~stnct and there are four
conditions.
Eddie Bourdon: For the record, Eddie Bourdon a V~rg~ma Beach attomey representing
the apphcat~on and Mr. Gregor ~s here. We have reviewed the conditions and worked
closely w~th Ms. Moss and working out the wording and we're very comfortable w~th the
conditions. We thank her for her t~me and effort on th~s apphcat~on.
Dorothy Wood: Is there any opposition to Item # 12, Bay Reflections Bmld~ng located ~n
the Lynnhaven D~stnct with four conditions? Hearing no opposition, I'll ask Mr. Salle'
to explmn the Planmng Commission's decision to place th~s item on consent.
Charhe Salle': Certmnly. Th~s ~s a request for a subdivision variance to create a non-
conforming lot on the east side of Shoveller Avenue. The major ~ssues are the presence
of a hardship, which would justify the granting of the variance and the location of the
property w~th~n the area covered by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance.
Th~s parcel contmns nearly five acres of land and the apphcant could develop four lots
w~th road frontage except for the fact there's a 30-foot drmnage easement that runs to the
property. And due to the fact that easement ernst and the fact that the property ~s
~mpacted by the Chesapeake Bay Area Preservation Act, ~t was felt that it would be better
for the formed lot to be located behind the others where it would be more outside the
Preservation area so we feel hke the fact that the emstence of the easement and the other
restrmnts on th~s property create a hardship which would justify granting the subd~wslon
variance.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Mr. R~pley, I would move to
approve th~s ~tem on the consent agenda, which ~s Item #12 for Bay Reflections Bmld~ng.
It's an appeal of decisions of adm~mstrat~ve officers ~n regard to certmn elements of the
subdivision ordinance. Th~s ~s Bay Reflections Building on Shoveller Avenue north of
Mill Dam ~n the Lynnhaven D~stnct w~th four condlt~ons
Ronald R~pley: We have a motion Do I have a second? Gene Crabtree has seconded it.
Is there any d~scusslon on the motion? Heanng none, we'll call for the question.

Ronald R~pley: The next ~tem please.
Robert Miller: The next ~tem ~s Item # 18, Green Hill by the Bay Condominium Owners
Association.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you all for your consideration on the last application. Agmn, for
the record, my name is Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney representing the
applicant, which is the Green Hall by the Bay Condomlmum Owners Association. Before
I beg~n, there are a number of people in the Condominium Associatmn who have come
down today. A number of them have signed up to speak so that I don't forget to do this
before I start. Wall those members of the community who are here in support of this
request please stand and be recogmzed. Thank you all very much. I've got some aerial
photographs in addition to what you have up there on pinpoint. I think they're excellent
photographs. I will pass them around so you all can be looking at them and probably not
paying a lot of attention to me because the pictures are worth a thousand words. I hope
you won't hear that many from me. On here, there ~s an arrow that pmnts to the location
where this proposed day p~er would be located. I'll pass these around. The Green Hill by
the Bay Condominium Association ~s made up of 28 units. It ~s one parcel of land upon
which there ~s a land condom~mum and that parcel is shown there on p~npolnt outlined in
yellow and it ~s served by a private straight and all of the area within here can be condo
~tself. No one owns a fee simple residential lot like most of you and I do. Some of you
may live in a condo but th~s ~s not a fee simple subdivision of property as a
condominium. The condomimum has frontage upon Broad Bay, which totals just 450
feet. There maybe 457 feet but between 447-457 feet of frontage on Broad Bay in the
condominium parcel. There are four waterfront umts w~thln the condom~mum. Those
umts have water frontage and riparian rights that go w~th those umts. The umt frontage is
75 feet from the two umts to the left, which are here and here. The Condominium
Association has a common element owned by the unit owners, by the Condominium
Association. The Condo Association has 115 feet of frontage on Broad Bay and within
that frontage, the Condom~mum Association has the riparian rights to the beach, gazebo,
a deck and there are two other units. Meredith's umt which has, I believe 98 fbet of
frontage and the unit to the east of that which has, I believe 80 feet of frontage and the
riparian rights associated w~th that frontage. The unit owners of these umts, especially
the ones on the water are aware of and have been at all times aware of the common
elements that emsts that ~s owned by the Association. In fact, when the units were
marketed, the public offering statements for the units were never sold, which ~s a
reqmrement of the Condom~mum Act, the Commonwealth of Virginia actually depicted a
commumty p~er at that t~me. It was supposed to be a manna. I th~nk a 20-shp manna,
which your staff has related to h~story in your write up that you have. The owners were
aware of that at all t~mes this Association had th~s area for the purpose ofprowd~ng
access to Broad Bay. In 1982, the Corps of Engineers approved the plans for the 24-slip
marina. The Planmng Staff and the Planmng Commission recommended approval as
well but C~ty Councd smd No. And, frankly, I th~nk that's understandable that putting ~n
a 20-shp manna ~n here, I th~nk ~t was, really would not be an appropriate use of the
property. But ~n 1987, the Condo Association agmn sought to use their property and
sought approval for a pier w~th four boat shps, a number of mooring pres. Agmn, your
C~ty staff recommended approval, as did the Planmng Commission w~th only one vote to
deny. And that apphcat~on was also demed by C~ty Councd, essentially the same C~ty
Councd. The concerned voice at that pmnt was having these four boat shps, which were
not restricted ~n terms of the act~wty used for overnight and what have you, would create
some problems. How do you police ~ts usage? What type of vessels would be there?
Over the last 17 years s~nce that application came forward, there have been a lot of
marina development in th~s area and there have been lots of boat shps created, plenty of
them. In addition, there have been a number of very fine restaurants bmlt that prowde
dockage for their patrons The Condomlmum Assoclat~on voted 75 percent of the owners
to agmn seek approval to utd~ze their riparian rights to construct a day p~er for the use of
all the owners within the Assomat~on and only the owners of the homes ~n the
Association so that residents who have these beautiful, very expensive Great Neck homes
can have access and use of what ~s a marvelous public asset, Broad Bay, L~nkhorn Bay,
Lynnhaven River and the Chesapeake Bay. They have access by the beach and the deck
and the gazebo, which they have used for all these years but because of the depth of the
water, very shallow gmng out about 75-100 feet, the water ~tself, there ~s really no access
to ~t other than for wadding or for swimming. Jet skis keep coming ~n and out because
you don't have to have a dock for a jet ski. But, what the owners' w~sh to do ~s complete
their ab~hty to reasonably use the waterways, the nav~gatable waterways for the purpose
of fishing, crabbing, or sunbathing or s~mply just meditating as well to be able to embark
and d~sembark from a boat. Not for the purpose of having the boats moor there, but to
get on or get off the boat nor to water ski or to sad, but to visit friends or accompany
friends for brunch at One F~sh Two F~sh number of nice activities. I'll put a plug into that
and make a restaurant. This p~er as proposed wall have no electricity, no water, no sewer,
no pump outs. No uses at mght. There's no boat launch. There are no boathfts. No jet
ski hfts and there are no moonng pres. The p~er ~tself doesn't even have pres that will
be above the deck of the p~er itself. It ~s not being bmlt for the purpose of providing any
dockage for any boats. Simply, an extension of the deck that is there to allow the
residents to be able to away to utihze their access to the nawgat~ble waters ~n this area.
The use ~s hm~ted just to the Condo Association owners and their guests. There is access
for them provided down a steep slope, down some stmrs. There ~s a gate. That gate can
and wall be locked. We will also put a gate across the pier, which wall be locked and you
wall have to have a card to use ~t, which means you have to be an owner in the
Association. But as you can see, you've been there. It's a very secluded, very beautiful
part of our C~ty. It's not something that ~s an attractive nmsance that the pubhc driving
by ~s going to see and say, "lets go run out there and jump on that pier." It's not that
s~tuat~on at all. There are, as you can see, p~ers that hne th~s section of Broad Bay as you
can see from those photographs. The City at Crab Creek just recently constructed a city
boat launch, dockage, parking. All directly across from a small creek from homes w~th
boat docks at Ocean Park. The C~ty approved and financed in part and bmlt that faclhty.
Would the C~ty of V~rg~ma Beach have backed off and not bmlt ~t if the homeowners
across Crab Creek, a little narrow body of water complmned, of course not? Here the
objectors you will hear from are condo owners who are in the m~nonty. Who had their
opportunity to participate in the democracy that is their Condo Association and d~d not
prevail. The Association ~s requesting a very hm~ted use of their common property.
And, I've said, no boat launch is on the list. The conditions that are recommended by
staff are acceptable. And, just as our c~ty residents should have not been denied access to
the water via the Crab Creek Facility being budt on pubhc land had the neighbors
objected which those neighbors did not nor should the vast majority of the Condo
Association members who are residents of this community be denied access. They should
not be denied their reasonable access to this property for this very, very hm~ted and
restricted use that you see before you today. The bottom hne, It's not a boat dock. It's
just s~mply a day p~er. The Corp of Engineers and VMRC wall approve the p~er. The
Corp has already approved far, far greater piers. The only issue ~s land use. Is there a
nuisance involved here? Clearly, w~th what is before you is clear there is no nuisance
involved here. Th~s is just a very mlmmal use of the property. You have a number of
letters that have been provided to you in support as well as the people who are here ~n
support. Our Comprehensive Plan, our Open Space Plan, everything we do in the C~ty ~s
trying to promote reasonable access and use to our assets, open space recreational assets
and that is what Board Bay, L~nkhorn Bay in this area are. And this is nothing but a very
minor request and one that I hope wall enjoy your support. ! look forward to having the
opportunity to rebut and we have opposition present.
Ronald R~pley: We have a lot of people here to speak ~n favor.
Eddie Bourdon: I beheve they're some members who have signed up to speak ~n favor.
Robert Miller: Do you want me to call all of them?
Eddie Bourdon: If they signed up and they wish to speak.
Robert Miller: Are you one of them?
Jim W~ndsor: Yes sir.
Robert Miller: Who are you?
Jim Windsor: My name is Jim W~ndsor. I'm the President of the Assomat~on.
Ronald Rlpley: Come on up Jim.
Robert Miller: You didn't sign up.
Ronald Rlpley: State your name please.
Jim Windsor: Mr. Chairman, Commission, my name is Jim Windsor. I'm the President
of the Green Hill by the Bay Condominium Association. I'm a lawyer for Kaufman and
Canoles. I wouldn't even attempt to represent myself before this body and that ~s the
reason, why I sought counsel advice at the heanng here today. We have worked hard as a
community to bring this before you today. And, we have sought the advise of all the
members of this community. Pdght up front, we engaged in the d~alogue with each
member of the community. I tried to iron out any issues that might arise. As a result of
those discussions and in order to accommodate some of the concerns that you may hear
today, we have tried to develop a very spartan, very minimal pier, short of not having a
pier. This is as "bare bones" as we can make lt. So, in other words, we have tried to
address each of the concerns that have been raised in the past and in our current
discussions. This is a Condominium Association. It is separate and distinct from those
matters you may have heard before involving individual lot owners. This is
Condominium Association land and we have, as a group, voted over two-thirds to
approve this. There are two people here who will speak against. Those ~ndlvlduals, Mr.
Blrsch lives here. This is Mr. Blrsch's pier with the jet-ski launches and the boats. He
also shares that pier with Mr. Wooton. And, then Mrs. Meredith, who is also here lives
here. She does not have a pier. Obviously, she is free to build one. She's been there for
20 years. Mr. Blrsch is also an original owner when this subdivision was put together
about 20 years ago. The existing deck and gazebo have been there for over 20 years. Mr.
Blrsch and Mrs. Meredith, who we have had an active dialogue with and the result is the
minimal pier that you've seen and they are trying to accommodate some ~ssues.
Ronald Pdpley: Mr. Windsor, you're starting to run out of time.
Jim Windsor: They bought land subject to and adjacent to the common area. Again, we
have tried very diligently to deal with all the issues and we appreciate your faithful
consideration of this. We also tried to reduce the cost for everyone involved because this
is truly a community effort. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you very much
Robert Miller: I'm just going to read the names of these others that have signed up in
support. If you would like to speak, would you please come up, ~f you don't, then just let
us know? Lane Brown
Lane Brown: I'm Lane Brown. I'm here with my w~fe Jackle. We own Unit//4, which
~s 1852 Duke of Norfolk. We bought the unit almost 21 years ago. And, when we
bought the property we understood that there was a posslbdlty, no assurance obviously,
but a possibility there would be a day use pier. That played into our decision to purchase
the unit. Very much in favor of having the pier built. I wasn't ~ntend~ng to speak
because quite frankly my opinion about the whole th~ng is that Condo Association
members had an opportumty to express their op~mons in the Condo Association. And,
once the Condo Association had voted to build the facility then they needed just to back
offbecause quite frankly, they agreed to go along with what the majority said when they
bought the unit to begin with. So, it's not like any of this is a surprise to anybody within
the organization. In any case, you're here to address land use and I think you can see that
building another pier right in here is very consistent with the type of land use when
you're talking about a pier here, a private pier here and essentially a private manna here.
Putting in a day use pier for us for the remaining 26-condo association users is very
appropriate for that piece of property. Thank you very much.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much.
Robert Miller: George Mills.
George Mills: Good afternoon. I'm George Mills, 1709 Lovetts Pond Lane. I've been a
property owner for 16 years. I come before you today just to express that I am strongly
interested in the pier. I look forward to spending some time on this day use pier, sitting
down reading a book and I'm a water lover. I just look forward to that and I just see no
reason under any circumstances on why not we should not have this pier. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you very much.
Robert Miller: Arlene Llndsey.
Arlene Llndsey: Good afternoon. I'm also a property owner, 1717 Lovetts Pond Lane. I
purchased my property probably about 22 years ago. And, with the hopes that one-day,
we would have access to the water. I feel that we as individual owners in this
condominium, we have just as much riparian rights to have a p~er in that area as the
owners that actually do live on the water. I just would like to feel confident that we could
exercise that right. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you.
Robert Miller: Pearl Cox.
Pearl Cox: I do not wish to speak.
Robert Miller: Thank you. Jamce Barrett.
Jamce Barrett: I don't wish to speak.
Robert Miller: Jacquelyn West, I believe.
Jacquelyn West: Yes. I have nothing more to add.
Robert Miller: John Norris.
John Noms. I'm John Noms. I live at 1724 Lovetts Pond Lane. I'm only been a
member of condominium for a year now. I endorse the other comments that you've
already heard. In addition, I'm a boat owner. I think I'm in the minority of those of us
who voted for this pier actually own a boat. I have a permanent place for my boat. I
keep it there year round. The purpose of this pier for me, as a boat owner is not a place to
keep my boat but it's a place where if I have passengers who want to go up and use the
facilities in my home or if I want to pick up passengers from my home, that would be an
easy place for me to do that. And, I think it's very consistent and far less obtrusive use in
this area as many of the other piers that are already there. Thank you.
Robert Miller: Those are all the speakers that I have in support.
Ronald Rlpley: Is there anybody else who wishes to speak in favor of the application?
Mr. Miller.
Robert Miller: In opposition, Virginia H. and you didn't "M" somebody.
Virginia Meredith: Oh I'm sorry, Meredith. I'm Virginia Meredith and I live adjacent to
the walkway and the steps down to the proposed pier. I emaded you all last night a letter.
If you have received it and have had a chance to read it there's no need for me to speak
any further. I said everything that I had to say in that letter. Do you have copies of it?
Ronald Rlpley: I don't know. We have several copies. Hold on.
Vlrg~ma Meredith: You probably didn't find it until this morning. While you're looking,
I have a letter from another resident in the neighborhood who's not waterfront~ who's
also opposed and his letter is excellent and very comprehensive. I'm sorry, I don't have
eleven but I will give every other one of you one of these and you can share.
Ronald Rlpley: Ms. Meredith, I don't believe we have that emad. If you sent it to us last
night maybe we didn't see lt.
Virginia Meredith: I was afraid maybe you all would come here before.
Ronald Rlpley: We come here early in the morning and get started.
William Din: We'll pass it down.
Ronald Rlpley: Ms. Meredith, you might want just to summarize some of the things you
said in that letter.
Virginia Meredith: I'll take as little time as possible. My greatest concern ~s the street.
It's very narrow. And, the circle at the end where people would be loading and unloading
is very small. Even now, without the pier, traffic in that circle and down the street is such
that frequently that an emergency vehicle could not get through. Being an old lady and
being afraid of might what happen to me, I want an ambulance to be able to get to my
house. Secondly and almost as important, ~t's a delightful little hide-a-way. Is that telling
me my time is up?
Ronald Rlpley: You're getting close.
Virginia Meredith: It's been discovered by young people all over the city and they come
there and they party into the night and dnnk beer and it's already a problem. I can't see
this as being anything else but increasing that problem. Thank you very much.
Ronald Pdpley: Thank you. Are there any questions of Ms. Meredith? Thank you very
much.
Robert Miller: William O'Bnen.
William O'Bnen: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, my name ~s Buster
O'Bnen and I've come here today to represent Mr. Jay Blrsch, who also is an adjacent
property owner. I will try to be very brief. I was here, unfortunately ~n 1987, in
opposition to the other permit request. That has been a bad idea, I believe in 1982 and
1987 we don't believe the passage of time has improved the ~dea at all. With all due
deference to my friend and colleague Mr. Bourdon, there are a number of piers there.
There are no community piers here. I'm not aware of a single community pier that jets
out into either Broad Bay or Llnkhorn Bay. This is a bad precedent that you're going to
be starting here. And, you'll be here again and agmn. Though this is a Condo
Association these people on the waterfront pay more for their lots to make this big
investment to have that access. It's not here. These other people did not do that. There
are several things. Th~s pier is going to be detracting from that area it will be used by our
people. If they want to sunbathe, there are significant places to sunbathe in the city. If
they want to meditate, we have significant areas to meditate. There are plenty of places
in the adjacent areas to go crabbing and fishing so that is not what this is. This is going
to be a congregation point for a lot of boats to pull up and stop. It's going to create traffic
problems and a nuisance there. We've talked about police problems and maintenance
problems. I want to show you the existing dock and gazebo and show you the problems
we're having there. This will only exacerbate itself and continue to grow. If I could?
The particular uses that they tried to portray that they're going to use this dock for are
available in close areas. They don't need this pier to do those things. As I said, this plan
in different forms, has been defeated twice in the past even though it was recommended
by staff and we believe there's nothing in this application, which is going to make it any
more approvable now or any more appeasable to the pubhc. We talked about restaurants
and access to restaurants. Th~s is not a restaurant area. Th~s ~s a very, very race beautiful
residential area. We think the character of that area ought to be mmntalned. There are
hundreds of ~nd~vldual boat docks and piers on Broad Bay and Llnkhom Bay. I'm not
aware of a single community pier in that area. We asked the Board not to approve this
application. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. O'Brien? Yes, Wall Din.
Wdham D~n: Mr. O'Bnen, my first venture to this area was ~n the last week. It is a
beautiful area that you have there. Are there any other community areas in your Condo
Association area other than the pier here? I know that's a common area. Are there other
community areas, which are available to all the condo owners?
William O'Brlen: Green Hill by the Bay?
William Din: Yes.
William O'Brlen: Yes sir There are common areas. And, I think Mr. Bourdon pointed
those out in his presentation. There's a beach area that can be sunbathed on or crabbed
from or fished from, 1 guess. There is a dock and a deck that's available for those same
purposes. As I said, that's been left in disrepair there. There's trash here. People use
this. It creates a bad situation. As I said, the real problem here is that this is the
preverbal camel sticking his noise under the tent and it is just going to grow from here.
And, I think it's going to be enormous problems for the city.
William Din: I guess my point was there are other areas which everybody has access to
and I think everybody deserves the same access to all the common areas whether it's on
the pond itself or on the pier areas.
William O'Brlen: Those areas were all set forth, I believe and I may be mistaken so I
was here a long time ago. Those areas were all set forth in their individual condo
documents but there was no guarantee of a pier being placed here. There has been no
guarantee of that. The original thing was and I think it was about a 24 slip marina and
that was cut back to, I think it was a 6-shp pier, if I'm not mistaken. And, the reason is
that people are going to be tytng their boats up and docking and staying there for a while.
And, there's going to be noise.
William Din: My point here is that the common areas are for people to gather into
including that pier and in the other areas. Is that not correct?
William O'Brlen: The common areas of the condominium? Yes sir. They are to be used
by the members of the Condominium Association.
William Din: Okay. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there any other questions? Dot Wood.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. O'Brlen.
William O'Brlen: Yes ma'am.
Dorothy Wood: The concern that Ms. Meredith was concerned about was the people that
are coming in from other areas. Is there not a way that you could call the police or
something, you know like lovers lane?
Wllham O'Brlen: And the responsibility of that is going to rest on the people who are
adjacent owners. Is that fair to them?
Dorothy Wood: That's understandable.
Wdham O'Bnen: And they talked about that they could pohce the area. They can be
responsible for making sure. That's not favorable of those people either. It's going to be
used. It's going to be awfully difficult to restrict that use down there that this ~s a
commumty p~er.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
William O'Bnen: We beheve that the concept ~s wrong. Okay.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you very much.
William O'Brien: Yes s~r. Thank you.
Ronald Pdpley: Mr. Bourdon.
Ed&e Bourdon: Thank you for the opportunity to rebut. F~rst of all, there are in fact
community piers that exist, two of them ~n Alanton that are on Broad Bay. There are two
community piers in Lynnhaven Colony and there are more than I can count in Bay Island
but they are small ones in Bay Island. But, there are at least four that I know of in Bay
Island. Agmn, all these provide access to Broad Bay or on Broad Bay. There's also one
in Pnncess Anne Hills. All community p~es that exist today and those all are dockage
piers. The one in Alanton has a number of docks on that. The other one I don't think has
very many. There's one that is ~n Alanton that I think has about dockage for about 8 or
10 boats. It's a commumty pier. This is none of the above. There's no dockage
requested here. And, Mr. O'Bnen's concern that this ~s somehow the camel's nose under
the tent, that I think is ~naccurate and that the entirety of the area around Broad Bay,
Linkhorn Bay ~s essentially developed. I'm not aware of any undeveloped parcels left
other than the Add~ngton Farm and therefore, there isn't the ability to set forth this type
of a facdlty and th~s type of a common element that's owned by the Assomat~on. This is
also the only land condo out there, the only land condo that we're gmng to have out there.
So, again, I think that's a concern that doesn't stand up to scrutiny in terms of their being
some type of precedent. There ~s a gate there that is not currently locked but that gate can
certainly be locked. No trespassing signs can be put up. You got to be looking for this to
find it number one and number two the Association is a close knit commumty. They're
certainly gmng to do everything in their power to make sure that it doesn't become and
isn't a nuisance. But the reality of it is that the beach access that exists and the area that
exists there now, is actually far more significant than the pier in terms of ~ts use. The pier
~s not a boat dock. It's just simply a convenience to allow the members, the owners to
have adequate access to the water, not to dock their boats. W~thout any moonng piles,
It's not going to create any gathering place. Go down to the Narrows, that's the obvious
gathenng place. It's where people go and pull their boats up on the beach where there's
deep water and gather. Not here. It's just simply a convenience for these members of the
Association. The cul-de-sac is a one way in, one way out cul-de-sac. And the
Assomat~on wall have rules and regulations about how to protect everybody in the
Assomatlon because ~t's all common property. It's all Commumty Assoclat~on's
property. Mr. Din, your question, th~s ~s the only common element of the roads that are
private roads. There is parking in the cul-de-sac at the end of the road on foot, and it wall
be used by the members of the community for the most part, as ~t is currently being used
by the members of the community on foot. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Ronald R~pley: Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Dot Wood has a question.
Dorothy Wood: I not~ced these p~ctures. They had a lot of debris. I wonder ~f these
were after the storm. Were they?
Dorothy Wood: No?
Wdham O'Bnen: A couple of weeks after they took the boat last year.
Dorothy Wood: A lot of debris. It doesn't look hke ~t has been mmntmned very well.
Eddie Bourdon: It is pretty obwous to somebody, hke myself, who has hved on the water
my entire hfe, ~t's what washed up on shore. You got down here what has clearly washed
up at h~gh t~de. The dead seaweed, etc., that's down there in the ~nner-t~dal area. I'm not
going to say that ~s ~t ~mposs~ble that a plastic plate may blown off of somebody's
backyard or p~er or from th~s gazebo, anything is possible but how do you attribute, what
~s mostly seaweed to poor maintenance. I frankly don't see it and again, this is a
commumty faclhty and I'll let the folks ~n the commumty ask the question. I don't know
the answer. I've got to beheve there probably hasn't been any d~scuss~on among the
Association members that "hey, we're not mmntalmng our facd~ty as we should." I th~nk
th~s is an effort to try to create an ~ssue. I'm qmte confident that given the quahty of
people that hve ~n th~s community that mmntalnlng th~s facdlty that which ~s there and
that, which ~s being requested, I don't th~nk that's going to be an issue. Rules and
regulations wall be adopted and implemented and restrictions that we've talked about and
the music. No hghts. No electnmty. We'll lock the gate both at the top. Put a gate on the
p~er ~tself. Fencing on e~ther s~de, key access only. Agmn, there are no facd~t~es there.
It's just s~mply a spartan p~er to allow the people in the community to be able to have
reasonable access to the water and purely for access and not for dockage ~n anyway,
shape or form.
Ronald Rlpley: Kathy, did you have a question?
Kathy Kats~as: Has cost been estabhshed Mr. Bourdon w~th regard to the cost of the
p~er?
Eddie Bourdon: I beheve that ~t has and that the Association knows as part of their
determination to move forward. Candidly, I didn't get ~nvolved ~n that because ~t wasn't
a land use ~ssue.
Kathy Katslas: That's why some of the residents are opposed to it because they're going
to be assessed the same cost?
Eddie Bourdon: I beheve that is the case with regard to those other than Ms. Meredith
and Mr. Birsch and I think their issue isn't cost. Even though it may be a factor and I
can't put words in their mouths but I suspect and they fought the boat dock prewously.
And, doing the same again. I didn't hear today, what I was expecting to hear and that
was the contention that I heard before or saw before. I wasn't around back then. It was
going to cut off access to their property and that clearly doesn't exist with this pier and a
115-feet of frontage and we're not in any way going to constrict their access. The length
of the pier will coincide with the length of their piers. And, frankly, I think what's on
there and may be a little blt longer than it needs to be, I don't believe thmr piers are 150.
I believe there's 125 feet because it jets out. The likelihood is that the pier wdl wind up
being more ~n line ofa 110-125. It just has to get to the deep water and that's all. But,
there's more than ample room for five piers on the property, which is the total that could
be built, a total of five on the 450 feet of frontage. That's one pier for every almost 90
feet of frontage and frankly, I don't know if there will ever be more than three.
Ronald ~pley: Are there any other questions? Thank you very much. Is there any
discussion? Mr. Miller?
Robert Mdler: I had the privilege of designing this subdlwslon many years ago and I'm
just so happy that all you people are out there enjoying it so much. It sounds hke a great
place to live. The few times that I've been out there it is a very beautiful place and it
seems to have succeeded. Unfortunately, the Judge Barrow saw it a little blt differently
as far as land condomlmums for single famdy. But, that's not to say. I think the issue is
pretty clearly stated that the Condomlmum Association has responslbdltles to adhere to
~ts organizational procedures and it's all the covenants and restrictions that are setup for
the commumty. It sounds like you have and then voting for in favor of the pier, I don't
find that as something that I wouldn't be able to support. I think that really is the key to
that we're looking through what the community wants and what's the best interest of the
commumty. I do think the pictures are telhng. I don't think that they are done to produce
some kind of drama. I think that they are telhng in a sense that there is some
maintenance needed obwously on the steps and other locations, a lot of issues that are not
being taken care of on a day to day basis and I think there's a hmltatlon to it and certainly
the ones that are most effected by the maintenance by the activities down there. So, I
would ask the Condomlmum Assomat~on as they're saying "we want this or we want to
malntmn it, we're going to make a great use of this" is that they take that as almost a
warranty that they provided to those adjacent property owners and actually move forward
to make this exactly what you're saying it's going to be with the adjacent property
owners or the unit owners would have a sense that everybody ~s truly working together. I
know that's your intent and I would hope that is really a warranty. So, ! support the pier
and I th~nk it would be something that obviously is beneficial to the commumty.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you. Does anybody else have a comment?
Kathy Katslas: I concur with Mr. Miller and I would like to make a motion to approve
this application.
Dorothy Wood: I would like to second that motion.
Ronald Rlpley: We have a motion by Kathy Katslas and a second by Dot Wood to
approve the application. I also like to make a comment. I think it's a very reasonable
request. I think it's not an unusually long pier. It's really pretty standard in the area. My
pier at my house is just about the same length and m this case where it's strictly a day
type pier, I kind of equate it to from the Planning point of view when we look to limit
curb cuts on roads, here your assembling one pier for the use of 26 different families.
That's effective and if we had 26 pier applications it would be a different story. So, in
this case I think it makes sense and I do support it also. Are there any other comments?
Let's call for the question.

Subject: GREEN HILL BY THE BAY CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION
(//103-211-CUP-2003) application for a Conditional Use Pernut tbr a eommumty boat
dock/pier.
1 We firmly oppose the concept to budd tins boat dock/pier
2. We bought our home in August 1998, agreeing to pay a quarterly condominium fee to
maintain the General Common Elements as outlined in Article 4 of the GHBTB
Condominium Doctm~ents, Article 4, that ~s, the easements, rights of way, sanitary sewer
system, roads, split rail fencing, street lighting, walkways, sundeck and common beach
area.
3 This concept to build a boat dock/pier was hatched by the Condomhxium's current
President. He pushed through a change to the Condormmum Documents to replace the
original requirement to have a 'hmanimous' consent of each of the unil owners in order to
alter the common elements, to a "two thirds" consent He then campmgned the
neighborhood by phone to persuade enough owners to vote for the dot:k/pier project.
Each homeowner will be reqmred to pay a onettme $500 00 assessment, with any further
annual costs to be prod from our quarterly Condornh~ium fee accotmt
4 It is strongly recommended that this dock/pier proposal be denied tbr the following
reasons:
- It will lack the needed supervision to ensure that only qualified members use it;
to see that it doesn't become a daytime or nighttime party target by outsiders; and to
ensure that a tragic acmdent doesn't befall children, from ours and adjoining
neighborhoods.
- It will present situational opportunities, 24/7, that could put this Condominium
Association into a legal and liability mghtmare
- Those owners residing directly on e~ther side of the proposed pier will likely
experience a degradation of their privacy and find that, because of theft proximity to the
dock/pier, they will become involved tn trymg to police the activities thereon.
- We believe for the Condominium Association to spend $15,000.00 or more to
build a dock/pier, that a person can only temporarily (daytime only) moor a boat to, and
fi'om that point on, to use Condominium fees to insure it against humcanes ( e g., Isabel's
damage to p~ers), and insure against liability, is an unwarranted rmsmarutgement of home
r~ 03

owners money.
- Tiros Condominim~a Association has over $40,000 00 in its account, yet, for over
2 years, the street lights/poles have needed replacing, the fSncing throughout has needed
replacing, and the roads are in critical need of re-paving. These are legitimate needs that
should already have be taken care of and paid for, but haven't ..and why...because the
focus has been shifted to getting an approval for the budding of an expensive and
unnecessary pier that will, in future, if approved, present us with a variety of problems and
extra expenses that will result in having to raise the condominium f~es or levy more
assessments.
5 We petztion the City of Virginia Beach to deny ttns application to the GHBTB
Condominium Assoczation.

Dear Sirs
I am ~n receipt of your September 22, 2003 notice that a pubhc heanng will
be held on October 8, 2003 regarding a proposed commumty boat dock and p~er
for the Green Hill by the Bay Condominium Association
My wife and I are one of twenty-e~ght members of the Green Hill by the Bay
Condominium Assooat~on we own Umt 4
I have very defimte opinions regarding the cost of constructJon of the
proposed p~er, the responsibility for the maintenance and insurance of the
proposed p~er, and the potential for ~t becoming a nuisance I have voiced
those opinions w~th~n the forum prowded to me by the rules of the
Condominium Association
The Condom~mum Assoc~at}on prowded all members of the Association
opportumty to voice their wews, and ultimately the Association, ~n
accordance w~th the Condom~mum rules, approved the proposal to proceed with
spending the money and accepting the respons~b~hty required to gain
approval, to construct, and to maintain the proposed p~er
I Intend to attend the pubhc heanng I do not ~ntend to speak ~n support
of or ~n opposition to the proposed p~er When I purchased a Umt ~n the
Green H~II by the Bay Condom~mum just over 20 years ago I s~gned lengthy
condominium documents agreeing to ab~de by the prows~ons of those
documents In s~gmng that contract, I agreed to ab~de by the deos~ons
properly made by the Condom~mum Association The Condom~mum Assoc~aBon
has properly made a decision about the proposed p~er, and I beheve I have
two choices 1) accept the dec,sion, or 2) move I beheve that only the
same two options are available to the other 27 members of the Condom~murn
Association
Accordingly, I request that the Planning Commission allow the President of
the Green Hill by the Bay Condom~mum Association to speak as the duly
elected representative for the Association, and not allow any other member
of the Association to speak at th~s hearing, regardless of whether they
support or are opposed to the proposed p~er All of us need to honor our
commitments, and abiding by the decisions of the Condom~mum Assoc~aBon ~s
a commitment all members of the Association made when they purchased Un~ts
~n the Condominium
Needless to say, I fully support the Planning Commission enterta~mng
comments from anyone outside of the Condominium Association who may be

acommumty boat dock/p~er on property located at the northernextrern~ty of Lovetts Pond Lane,

A. K, Smith
Dear Ms Smith,
My name ~s 3ohn Cox and I reside at 1705 Lovetts Pond Lane ~n V~rg~n~a Beach My
w~fe and I are home owners in the Green Hill by the Bay
Condominium We would hke to go on record w~th the Planmng Commission as being
~n favor of the approval of the Conditional use permit ~n QuesBon
Please find below several points we would make on behalf of approval of th~s
apphcat~on
1) The project ~n question wdl extend an emsBng p~er ~nto Broad Bay so that
we may t~e a boat up to a p~er dunng the day The project wdl ~n fact enhance
the nature of the ex~stmg p~er and ~mprove ~t's usefulness to our association
We feel the extended p~er will ~ncrease the value of each home ~n the
condominium and hkew~se ~mprove our neighborhood
2) Our Condom~mum Assooat~on, which ~s comprised of 28 members, has met twIce
over the course of s~x months, voting each Bme to approve the project
3) While the majority of our association members favor th~s project there are a
few who do not At least four of the d~ssenBng members have homes and p~ers on
the water and see
the addition of the common p~er as unattracBve to their own personal ~nterests
4) At least one of these waterside homeowners is openly campaigning to petition
the Planning Commission to deny us our Permit He has approached homeowners that
surround our own assooat~on and argued that our p~er will ~ncrease traffic ~n
their own neighborhood and will in addition attract unwanted and uninvited
unruly ws~tors to our new p~er
Th~s ~s, to our view, not true as the extended p~er ~s to be located at the end
of our one way m, one way out cul de sac Most of the traffic to and from the
pier would naturally come from residents living on the street and thus could not
possible become a burden to our neighbors The second part of the objections of
some center around a claim that as we ~mprove our p~er we w~ll ~nwte a flood of
un~nwted ws~tors to ~t and they m turn will become a nuisance We have, ~n
fact, agreed to putting the facdlty under lock and key w~th access only to
members Should we have trespassers, we would hope that law enforcement can help
prevent th~s from becoming repetitive In fact, w~th the ~mprovement of the p~er
,~t ~s my behef that it's use will ~mprove and therefore ~t's appearance will
also be Improved from ~t's current state
In summary, my wife and I ask that the Planning Commission approve the
Apphcatlon for Conditional Use Permit, recogn~mng that a strong majority of
our association members favor this prolect and further recognizing that this
file//C.\Documents%20and%20Sett~ngs\caksm~th\Local%20SetUngs\Temp\GW } 00005 Iq 10/6/2003
project w~ll m fact ~mprove our community and ~mprove the recreational
fac~ht~es we have available to our residents
Thank you and the Commission for their consideration

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM' Omnipoint/T-Mobile - Conditional Use Permit (telecommunications tower)
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Omn~point / T-Mobde for a Conditional Use
Permit for a telecommunications tower on property located at 3600 Holland Road
(GPIN 1486542283). DISTRICT 3- ROSE HALL
Considerations:
The proposed tower will be located in an area where it will be unobtrusive and
will not substanbally detract from aesthetics or neighborhood character. The
base of the tower will not be visible to surrounding properties or roadways
because it ~s located behind the shopping center. There is a 'h~ll' on the property
south of the tower that will screen the wew of the tower base from the adjoining
multifamily development. The tower meets required setbacks of 200 feet from a
res~denbal structure or fifty feet from the right-of-way. The tower height will be
limited to 130 feet and the applicant has agreed to a condition that will require all
antennae on the tower to be flush mounted.
The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated the need for the proposed tower and
the lack of suitable alternatives. The only existing tall structure in the area is the
Public Utilities Water Tank located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of
Rosemont Road and Holland Road. Communication antennae for three wireless
carriers already exist on the water tank, and there is no more room for addibonal
equipment on the ground or on the tank. Th~s has been confirmed with the
Department of Public Util~bes. T-Mobile has been working w~th staff to find
another s~te at th~s ~ntersecbon for over a year Tnton/SunCom ~s also ~n need of
service at this ~ntersection and has also been working with staff in the search for
a suitable site and has agreed that the proposed Iocabon is suitable for their use.
The Planning Commission placed th~s ~tem on the consent agenda because there
~s a demonstrated need for the tower. Staff recommended approval. There was
no objection to the request.
Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a mobon by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following cond~bons:
Omnipoint/T-Mobile

.
The tower and equipment areas shall be located as shown on the
site plan entitled "First Allied Rawland, 3600 Holland Road" dated
July 28, 2003 and prepared by Draper Aden Associates, as
exhibited to City Council and on file w~th the Planning Department.
All antennae on the tower must be flush mounted.
The tower shall be constructed to accommodate at least three
carriers using the flush mounted antennae and internal cable.
Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of V~rgin~a Beach
Department of Communications and Informabon Technology
(COMIT), a radio frequency emissions study (RF Study), conducted
by a qualified engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, showing that the intended user(s) will not interfere with any
C~ty of Virginia Beach emergency communication facil~bes, shall be
prowded prior to s~te plan approval.
In the event interference with any City emergency communications
facdities arises from the user of this tower, the user shall take all
measures reasonably necessary to correct and ehm~nate the
interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a
reasonable time, the user shall ~mmediately cease operation to the
extent necessary to stop the interference
Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than
one (1) year, the applicant shall remove the antennae and their
supporting towers and related equipment.

another site at this intersection for over a year. Triton/SunCom ~s also ~n need of
service at th~s intersecbon and has also been working with staff in the search for
a suitable site and has agreed that the proposed location is suitable for their use.
The proposed tower w~ll be located in an area where ~t will be unobtrusive and
w~ll not substanbally detract from aesthebcs or neighborhood character. The
base of the tower will not be wsible to surrounding properties or roadways
because it is located behind the shopping center. There ~s a 'hdl' on the property
south of the tower that will screen the wew of the tower base from the adjoining
multifamily development. The tower height w~ll be limited to 130 feet and the
applicant has agreed to a cond~bon that will require all antennae on the tower to
be flush mounted
The property south of the site is zoned and developed as a mulbfamily complex.
Un~ts for the complex are located on the east and west sides of the property, with
a large green area located ~n the m~ddle. A h~ll has been created within the green
area by dredge spo~l from the drainage canal that exists on the southern side of
the multifam~ly complex. It is unlikely that add~bonal units will be developed ~n the
area of the h~ll, and the owner of the mulbfamdy complex does not object to the

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Robert Arnold - Conditional Use Permit (motor vehicle sales)
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Robert Arnold for a Conditional Use Permit for
motor vehicle sales on property located at 1305 Oceana Boulevard (GPIN
2415495038). DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
Considerations:
The applicant desires to operate a motor vehicle sales establishment on the
subject parcel The site plan shows a square, one-story building 80 feet from
Oceana Boulevard. The building ~s shown on the south side of the property, and
parking surrounds the building on three sides. Most of the parking areas are
designated as "d~splay areas" for vehicles. Required parking and hand~capped
accessible parking ~s shown on the north s~de of the building. Only three parking
spaces are required
This secbon of Oceana Boulevard has become more attracbve to businesses
w~th the recent completion of the roadway ~mprovements. The proposed auto
sales use is compatible w~th other commercial uses along Oceana Boulevard.
Additional consideration has been g~ven to the residential properbes behind the
subject site, through inclusion of conditions w~th the use permit that maintain a
wooded buffer at the rear of the property, prohibit outside storage, prohibit an
outside paging or music system, and I~m~t minor repair work and cleaning to
~nside the building. Although this site ~s relatively small, ~t does exceed the
20,000 square foot minimum lot size required by the Zoning Ordinance for this
type of use. The recommended condibons below will also ensure that the site
does not become overcrowded w~th vehicles on display, and that the s~te and
building are developed in a quality manner
The Planning Commission placed th~s item on the consent agenda because the
proposed building is set back from Oceana Boulevard and will be buffered from
adjacent residential properties Staff recommended approval There was no
oppos~bon to the request.

Ocean Boulevard? Hearing none, Jan would you please comment on this item?
Jamce Anderson: This is an apphcatlon for a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle
sales. The site is located off Oceana Boulevard right across where the Commissary is
currently located. The property right now is vacant but it is zoned B-2, which is business
zoning. The Commission believes this is an appropriate Use. He has proposed a one-
story building. It will be 80 feet back from the Boulevard so it's a buffer from Oceana
Boulevard. The architecture that they're proposing is similar with the Commissary so
there's a good theme and the architectural will go along with the area for development
and we believe this is an appropriate Use for that area and the Commission is
recommending approval.

for the display of up to 90 donated used vehicles to be resold to the general public.
Periodically, the applicant proposes to partner w~th other nonprofit organizations and
hold vehicle auctions as well
Individual vehicles wdl be offered for sale to the pubhc concurrently with the retail

Goodwill also proposes to develop a Vocabonal Training Program in automobile
detailing for their disabled and disadvantaged clients Th~s would involve washing,
waxing and cleaning the donated vehicles in the rear of the budding, adjacent to the
loading dock. All washing will be done w~th buckets, sponges and water hoses. A
portable wet-dry vacuum wdl be used for vacuuming the interior of the vehicles. No
mechanical work wdl be done on site.
Site Design
· The site plan depicts the existing large building w~th approximately 34,400 square
feet. The retail component will comprise of 12,400 square feet, 12,700 square feet
of the budding will be used for office space and employment training, and the
remaining 9,300 square feet of the building w~ll be ubhzed for storage space. Under
th~s scenario, the maximum number of parking spaces available for the display of
motor vehicles is 28. In order for the applicant to increase this number to 90 as
desired, a variance to the Board of Zoning Appeals would be necessary.
The ex~sting parking lot has 160 parking spaces w~th three (3)loading spaces. The
majority of the spaces (94) are located ~n the rear of the building, where the display
area is proposed. The applicant's representabve has stated that this use is unique
when compared to a typical retad establishment and feels that th~s number of spaces
will more than meet their needs
Vehicular and Pedestrian Access
· A s~ngle vehicular access exists off of Virginia Beach Boulevard at the northeast
corner of the property.
· Pedestrian access,s adequate.
Landscape and Open Space
· The site plan depicts landscaping, some of which has been installed, including
foundabon, streetscape and ~nterior parking lot landscaping. A more thorough review
of all landscaping wdl occur dunng s~te plan review.
The existing landscape buffer along the southern property line ~s not sufficient to
adequately buffer the proposed use from the residential properties to the south.
Staff has conditioned the approval subject to increasing the landscaping and
~nstalling a privacy fence in th~s area.

October 8, 2003
REGULAR
Robert Miller: The next item is Item #13 is Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Donald Horsley: We knew that this was a very unique project.
Eddie Bourdon: Good afternoon Mr. Chmrman, for the record my name is Eddie
Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney. With me ~s Mr. John Morgan, who's the president
of Goodwill Industries ~n Hampton Roads and John will be here just In case there are any
questions or issues that I'm not able to address. I've been outside conversing w~th some
fine people who live ~mmedlately behind this piece of property located on the south s~de
of Virg~ma Beach Boulevard The property is the old Mar's Music s~te. It's not actually
old. It's been a few years since it was developed. The tenant has gone out ofbus~ness
and so we've got a situation where Goodwill Industries has taken over the property, a
long- term tenant s~tuat~on and they're requesting this Use Permit for the sale only of
motor vehicles. No repairs, nothing of that nature on the property. I'm out of t~me
already?
Robert Miller: Ed wasn't here so we turned the computer on ourselves.
Ronald Rlpley: Mr. Bourdon, you need to take a seat.
Eddie Bourdon: The conditions that we worked on closely with Carolyn as well as w~th
the zomng office on this apphcatlon. Th~s is a large bmld~ng. It was a retail building.
That bmldlng ~s now going to be partially retail and a s~gmficant amount of the building
~s being used as educational purposes for the clientele and also for storage. The property
features 163 parking spaces in the front and ~n the rear. We are supremely confident that
the parking in the rear will not be a utilized for the activities on the s~te and the parking in
the rear ~s where the apphcant wishes to sell vehicles, operable, hcensed vehicles that are
donated to Goodwill and that is where this would take place. When you technically do
the numbers based on the different uses of the property with a significant retail
component and the parking that's required by the ordinance, we don't have theoretically
enough parking but the reality ~s and I think everyone in Planning and Zoning recogmzes
that this use is not going to utilize anywhere near all the parking. So, that is the only real
issue is the number of vehicles that can be on the site for sale It ~s anticipated that there
will generally be anywhere from 25-50 vehicles on the site for sale. We expect that they
will not be there for any significant amount of time. There will be a good turnover.
What Goodwill is also going to be doing ~s partnering with some other non-profitable
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 2
charitable groups who also have vehicles donated to them and on occasion they will have
an auction on the site for vehicles which ~s the purpose of getting vehicles that are
donated, moved, sold and back into the hands of ~ndlviduals or for that matter dealers'
hands. Those auctions will take place periodically and is only ~n that Instance that we
anticipate as many as 90 vehicles there when the other vehicles are turned in by the other
non-profits for that purpose. And the conditions that you see that staff has recommended
are tailored to that c~rcumstance or that s~tuatlon. When you look at the rear of the site,
there is a s~gnlficant distance from the back of the parking to the adjacent residential
property and they put a httle cul-de-sac back here. The eastern section roughly measures
125 feet. And ~n the western section ~t's around 70-75 feet. We have agreed to place a
fence, a solid fence across the back and also to obtain approvals from Dominion Power
and the storage facihty on either side to t~e those fences ~n to the fencing there. So, to
ehm~nate what apparently, currently emsts in some degree some pedestrian cut through
traffic back there which has been a nuisance for the folks back there and you wall here
from one or two of them. We're prepared to do that. There ~s a landscaping requirement.
There's currently landscaping required back here in the back parking lot that has not been
completed by the developer because of the drmnage project that the C~ty is undertaking.
And, that landscaping wall also be put ~n. It's one of the numerous conditions that is
attached to the staff recommendation for approval and we are ~n agreement of all of those
recommended conditions. I'll be happy to answer any questions that may come up and
questions to John as well.
Ronald R~pley: Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Will.
William D~n: Eddie, are there any operations that Goodwdl operates that are similar to
th~s and in this area.
Eddie Bourdon: John?
John Morgan: Good afternoon. Yes sir. We have 13 locations throughout the Hampton
Roads area. According to state law that we are only allowed, I believe to sell five cars a
year without hamng a dealer's hcense. Right now, were contracting with an auto auction
group that tows them off s~te and they charge us a high fee. And, it really takes money
from our employment training programs. So, we were looking at a site that we could
bring the cars to a safe and secure environment that we can go ahead and sell them
without the fear of vandahsm
Wdham Din: My question, I guess, does Goodwdl operate any other facilities similar to
this?
John Morgan: Not this large. No s~r.
Wdham D~n: Do you have smaller operations?
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 3
John Morgan: We've had smaller operations except that we got so many cars we could
not legally sell at that location.
William D~n: I'm trying to understand the experience you and the turnover rate that you
have on some of these operations like this. My main concern is the length the time the
vehicles actively stay on there. And, when I went through the apphcat~on I did not see
anything that said, until I heard today that only operable vehicles would be there. Do you
have any idea what k~nd of turnover rate you will have?
John Morgan: We're looking to get them out of there every two weeks. We don't have
the room for them just to sit there. And, if they don't sell, we'll scrap them and have
them removed.
William Din: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: They'll be removed and then scraped.
Ronald Rlpley: Gene, did you have a question.
Eugene Crabtree: That answered mine.
Ronald Rlpley: Does anybody else have questions of Mr. Bourdon at this t~me?
Donald Horsley: The auctxon part. The other non-profit groups would they have a
facility that Goodwill could take the vehtcles to their facilities?
Eddie Bourdon: They're smaller non-profits and Goodwill, because of their size and
constituent based asset they're the one's who will be able to help the smaller operations
out. And, that's the purpose. There's no amphfied sound or any of that. An auctioneer
and when they have an auction he would handle that in front of the building not in the
back of the building.
Donald Horsley: Do you anticipate this taking place once a month?
Eddie Bourdon: It could be more often than that but I would suspect on average it would
be much more than once a month Seasonally, there might be some issues there. It may
happen twice a month or certain t~mes a year you may not have one at all.
Donald Horsley: But normal times you don't anticipate more than 50 vehicles on the site
at any one time?
Eddie Bourdon: Correct. Not anticipating more than 50 vehicles there on a day-to-day
bas~s. It will be when you have an auction s~tuatlon then you would possibly have as
many as 90 vehicles ~n that space in the 96 parking spaces in the back of the building.

Eddie Bourdon: No, there isn't.
Ronald Rlpley: Mr. Miller, I think we have a couple of people in opposition.
Robert Miller: Amanda Nomsh.
Amanda Nordsh: Good afternoon. My name is Amanda Nomsh. And, I'm a resident of
the Fair Meadow Estates, which is located directly behind the property in question.
Personally, the property that I reside at is 258 Lowther Drive and it is the property that
you see at the very end of the dead end and my property line pretty much is next to the
Goodwill Industries line.
Ronald Rlpley: Ma'am, there's a laser pointer right there, that black thing. You can just
point it to show us.
Amanda Nomsh: As a neighbor, I welcome Goodwill Industries. I think it's a good
program. But, I do not welcome the auto auction phase of their operation. I feel it would
inhibit privacy. I'm a stay at home mom. I have two boys. We are home everyday
dunng the day and outside in our yard. A fence would certainly help with that and the
landscaping would help with that as well. But, I'm concerned about the amount of
people coming and going in that back lot and how it will affect my home, my personal
safety and my security. We have a nice dead end. I like the fact that it's quiet. The
excess with the fence perhaps would help prevent the foot traffic. Right now, we do have
a problem with people coming and going. We have a convenience store, which people
like to use. They are for the most part not lnvaslve to my property but there have been at
times when I have feared for my safety. My husband is in the military and when he is
away, I am home alone. I have wonderful neighbors and they're with me today and I
would feel comfortable calling any of them, however, it is still a situation that I don't
want this to happen in my neighborhood, the light, perhaps from excess security that they
would have with these vehicles. As was stated earlier about an identified need, I don't
believe there's an identified need for more auto sales in this area. Across the street on the
other side of Virginia Beach Boulevard is a Salvation Army that does have auto auctions
as well. And, I just would like to let you know that it is something that I would prefer not
to occur next to my home Thank you for your time.
Ronald Rlpley. Thank you very much. Are there any questions of Ms. Nomsh? Don.
Donald Horsley: You don't have a problem with the autos you just don't like the
auctions? Is that what it is?
Amanda Nomsh: No sir. I really would have a problem with the autos being there as
well. I think with the people it's going to bring outside. They have said no repairs and
that's good. But there will still be people out there and doing things outside and I don't

mind having friendly neighbors but this is going to a point where I'm sure we will have a
problem. I would feel comfortable calling Mr. Morgan and saying "there's some guy out
back in your lot bothenng my family and I feel uncomfortable. Could you get out there?"
I think that would probably happen but ideally, I would prefer that this not occur.
Ronald Rlpley: Okay Are there any other questions? Thank you very much.
Amanda Nomsh: Thank you.
Robert Miller: John Sherlock.
John Sherlock: Thank you. The problem we have in the neighborhood is the homeless
that cut through there. We have actually had homeless people sleeping on the property.
We would be opposed if that fence could not be connected with the power station, the
fencing and the storage units. Just as a citizen, there is a lot of opposition here in our
neighborhood to this.
Ronald Rlpley: So you would definitely want to see those fences connected.
John Sherlock: That's correct.
Ronald Rlpley: To stop the cutting through.
John Sherlock: With the location of Newtown Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard, we
have a lot of homeless people that are in our neighborhood. It's a threat to our
neighborhood.
Ronald Rlpley: Okay. Are there any questions of Mr. Sherlock?
Robert Miller: Mr. Sherlock, can you show us where you live by using that pointer there
please?
John Sherlock: I live right in the same area as that lady. We have scruffy looking people
that cut through that area. We have people carrying bottles ~n bags living in that area.
Dogs. It's just a real concern and I just feel that if we're going to have a fence ~t's got to
connect to Domlmon Power to cut down that foot traffic and also the storage facility
that's on the other side of the property. That's my concern is that foot traffic and we're
nervous about as far as breakqns in our neighborhood.
Ronald R~pley: I think Ms. Wood has a question
Dorothy Wood: S~r, you would be happy then if they did have the fence? You would not
have an objection if the fence did tie in? Is that correct?
,
Item # 13

Page 6
John Sherlock: That's correct, if it goes all the way to the sub-station. They got to get
with Dominion Power and discuss this with Dominion Power.
Dorothy Wood: Then you would be happy?
John Sherlock: I would be happy.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir.
John Sherlock: Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you very much. Yes, Will.
William Din: Mr. Sherlock, the fence that you're talking about can you use the pointer to
show us what fence you're talking about that you'll be happy with?
John Sherlock: Well, the fence would be all along that ditch line and then there's a sub-
station that would be to the left that would connect into the sub-station.
William Din: And the homeless people that you're talking about are they coming
through from Virginia Beach Boulevard side?
John Sherlock: At this point, they're staying up between the sub-station and the
Goodwill building right now. They're staying in that area. We, as a neighborhood, as
you can see Fair Meadows going out to Virginia Beach Boulevard there. There's a bus
stop there at that comer. They had a tree...
Ronald Pdpley: Mr. Sherlock, you need to stand closer to the mlc.
John Sherlock: There was a tree that was overgrown at the bus stop at the comer of Fair
Meadows and Virginia Beach Boulevard. We, as a neighborhood took that comer and
cleaned that up. We ran the homeless out of there. But, they continue to sleep in and
around the Goodwill building and back around the cul-de-sac dead end there. And,
we've got real concerns about that and I think the fence will help with the cut through
traffic in our neighborhood. It's not going to resolve it all.
Ronald Rlpley: Don Horsley.
Donald Horsley: The fence and if it goes behind the power company and behind the
project we're talking about and the storage and all that, so that whole area would be
fenced away from the neighborhood right?
John Sherlock: Yes sir, a real inconvenience for the homeless.
Donald Horsley: So right now, the only place they can get through is through the
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 7
Salvation Army, I mean through the Goodwdl's property? So, really if they don't get the
cars you probably don't get the fence is what it's amounting to is the way it's looking to
me. Maybe we need to go for that because it looks hke it's a real problem there and if we
get a good fenced tied ~n there.
John Sherlock: My question is will Dominion Power allow them to connect that fence?
And, if they'll do that, I feel I'm the crime watcher coordinator in the neighborhood and I
feel that's got to help.
Donald Horsley: Right. I agree. I would think the power company wouldn't have any
problem.
John Sherlock: We had a discussion with the representative of Goodwill that they be "No
Trespassing" signs put up and that will be able to enforce Police Department.
Ronald Rlpley: Okay. Thank you very much. Thanks for coming down. Mr Bourdon,
you would like to readdress us?
Eddie Bourdon: Yes, just briefly.
Ronald Ripley: Hold on a second. There's a gentleman rinsing h~s hand. Do you wish to
speak in favor?
Fred Snyder: Yes sir, and in opposit~on.
Ronald R~pley: Would you come forward please.
Fred Snyder: I'm sorry sir. I didn't get here in time to s~gn up.
Ronald Ripley: Just come forward and state your name.
Fred Snyder: My name ~s Fred Snyder. We own the property Snyder Motors on the
property across the street. It's a car lot. We've been at the comer for 40 years. I'd like
to express my opposition agmnst this. I didn't hke ~t when the Salvation Army opened up
a used car lot back there in working against what all the dealers in Vlrglma Beach prod
thousand of dollars for city licenses and taxes. A non-profit orgamzat~on comes ~n and
wants to sell cars. It's in direct competition with us. I feel sorry for what the man smd
about the homeless people every since the Salvation Army came in that comer has
become a haven for homeless people. You can't go to the Boulevard/Newtown Road
without seeing at least two or three, sometimes four, every comer standing in the median
of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Newtown Road. In the morning, you see them
migrating towards the Goodwdl and Salvation Army and in the afternoon they come
back. On the weekends, they're all behind the Texaco right now doing their drugs,
dnnklng and all they want for donations if you try to g~ve them food they don't want ~t.
They just want the dnnk But that has nothing to do w~th th~s car operation. The car
Item #13
Goodwdl Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 8
operation I'm opposed to. I don't feel that ~t's good for th~s neighborhood. We already
have a Salvation Army doing ~t. The man from Goodwdl said that they have 13 locations
that are selling five cars a p~ece now. If they're going to do a car lot, let them open up a
car lot and pay hcense and taxes. Do ~t the way every other dealer ~n town does ~t.
That's the way ! feel about ~t.
Ronald R~pley: Thank you very much Mr. Snyder. Are there any questions of Mr.
Snyder? Thank you.
Donald Horsley: Would you have a problem ~f the put a hm~t on the number of cars that
they could keep there?
Fred Snyder: If they're doing five a year that's okay. You're allowed to sell five out of
your backyard. You do more than that then Department of Motor Vehicles says you have
to have a hcense. Pay the thousands of dollars and get your bond and be controlled by
the State and the DMV. Have the vehicles state ~nspected. We all know that these cars
that are donated are usually scrap and that's 90 percent of the people that want to donate
a vehicle. They're looking for a tax write off. And, the car ~s worth nothing really but
any blue book says ~t's worth something so they can write ~t off by donating ~t the
Salvation Army or the Goodwdl. If ~t's the other way around, ~f ~ts worth less than the
what the book says and they stall want to keep it, you know that they're down here on tax
day trying to get the City Commissioner to say "No, ~t's not worth that" but it's less.
Donald Horsley: Where ~s your car lot?
Fred Snyder: We have one nght.
Robert Miller: I th~nk ~t's over to the left. Up further to the left.
Fred Snyder: Wmt a m~nute.
Robert Mdler: Aren't you at the comer of Newtown and the Boulevard?
Fred Snyder: That's the RV dealership. We have cars right across the street. Th~s ~s the
VEPCO right-of-way, we're right here, this property right here. We also have th~s place
down here where we sell the W~nnebagos and motor homes.
Ronald R~pley: Thank you very much.
Fred Snyder: Yes s~r.
Ronald R~pley: Okay, do we have anybody else to speak agmnst th~s?
Robert Mdler. Nobody else s~gned up.

Ronald Rlpley: Alnght. Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chmrman. First of all, we've had very race
conversations with Mr. John Sherlock and Ms Nomsh outside. The first thing that I
want to point out is that they're aware of and they're not condemning, to the contrary,
that the cut through traffic that they're experiencing and the issues that they have with
regard to homeless individuals has nothing to do with Goodwill. In fact, Goodwill has
also concern with both the cut through traffic aspect and the vagrancy that might be
lmtenng or causing problems in the area. We certainly have no problem and will post
"No Trespassing' signs. We'll put up the fence. We'll be talking to the appropriate folks
at Dominion Vlrglma Power as tying in the fencing. I want to point out that some of the
cut through traffic is there's a Race Trac up here and that's the destination for people who
may be cutting through for that Race Trac convemence store up here on the Boulevard
next to this property. I can certainly appreciate the concerns in that regard and I think we
will solve that problem for the community. Again, Goodwill Industries and their
chentele in terms of selling donated items. Their clientele are handicapped challenged
people. This is not a homeless issue, as far as Goodwill is concerned. That's not their
clientele. The vehicles that are sold are vehicles that are given to Goodwdl as charitable
donations and sold and raise money for their good works. They're not buying and selling
vehicles for a profit and I don't think there's any comparison or any reasonable
comparison anyway. I think you know, I'm confident, are all famdlar with all the good
works that Goodwill Industries does in our community and throughout the United States.
And will be happy to interview or want any more lnformanon on that to communicate
with you directly. So, the land-use issue, I think it's an appropriate land use. And, the
condmons that are recommended are acceptable and we are certainly willing to and wall
discuss this with City Council to get answers on whether we can attach fences on either
side. I'm confident we will be able to do that and accomphsh that.
Ronald Pdpley: Okay. Dot, you have a question?
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Bourdon, if you could not attach the fences and I certainly hope you
do, I wonder if you could have some type of security in the back that would help the
neighborhood. I think Goodwill is such a great orgamzatlon and what they do is
wonderful. I'm sure they're going to be working with Eggleston Services and some other
groups but I also understand the neighbors' concerns.
Eddie Bourdon: Sure. We're very sympathetic and we're going and John has been
communicating and I'm quite confident they will be an excellent neighbor to the folks
back on Elam Avenue and the neighborhood. One of the th~ngs that we're going to do is
there will be a gate across here. It will be a portable gate Obviously, we need th~s area
to be secure as well. But, we certainly can either have security. What I really anticipate
is I don't think we'll have any problem getting the okays to tie in on either side but what
we can also do is basically put up a monument of some sort, a brick pillar of some sort
that blocks off any abd~ty to get between our fence and the fences on either side. And,
I'm confident we'll be able to accomplish that. That's what they've asked us to do and
i I
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 10
readily agree that we would do that but it's a parking lot now. And, essentially that all
that this is for is to be continually used as a parking lot. But, there will be vehicles sold
there and vehicles that will be hand washed there. But beyond that there's no difference.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Ronald Pdpley: Gene.
Eugene Crabtree: One of the neighbors addressed, I think of lighting and extra lighting
for security. How does your plan for hghtang the parking lot and will the lights reflect
inward so that they would not disturb the neighbors?
Eddie Bourdon: I do not believe that we are planning on doing any additional lighting to
the parking beyond that of which as there. If the neighbors want additional lighting, we
certainly can work with them to provide additional hghtang and there is a condition that
addresses that an the staff recommendation, which we will obviously comply with in
terms of making sure that any hghtang as shielded so there is no glare on the adjacent
properties. We are benefited in this case by the fact that there is a significant buffer
between the parking lot and the adjacent neighborhood that is a large measure and there
as landscaping or there's natural vegetation an there, which has some pluses and minuses
Lighting, I don't thank we will have a problem. Again, Goodwill is not like Ken Hall
where we got a huge investment of capital in new vehicles. They're not junk vehicles but
they're vehicles that are given to Goodwill and then Goodwill will be selling them. We
don't want them to be damaged so we will be secure but we're also not in a situation
where we're going to have at lit up to light the night skies and it's not necessary. The
hours of operation are not such that we were not looking at a lot of nighttime activity.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there any other comments? Oh, I'm sorry, I think Will was next and
then Dot.
William Din: Eddie, can you address, is there any additional security going to be placed
an here and I guess part of the lighting as going to be directed into. Is there hghtang
already an that lot going into that lot?
Eddie Bourdon: There is hghtlng behind the building. It's not real slgmficant amount of
hghtlng. There may need to be if the community is desirous and we wall certainly work
wlth them to add some additional lighting. I did not hear that communicated to us
outside but we will continue to have dialogue with them. We're not anticipating adding
lighting. I haven't heard that from them as being an issue one way or the other but when
we get done today we'll discuss that.
William Din: You have the additional vehicles in there? Are you going to have guards or
security in that area?
Eddie Bourdon: I certainly wouldn't rule it out. We want the area to be secure. We have
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 11
something at stake obviously Goodwill has something at stake. If there are problems that
develop then that is certainly one of the avenues that we would have to look into. At this
juncture though we don't know if that's going to be a problem. Once we put in these
structural bamers to people cutting through I don't know that you're going to have a
situation that necessitates additional security.
William Din: What about on the side of the building to secure the lot from access, you
know after hours when the building is not occupied or open?
Eddie Bourdon: That is what I was mentioning before and maybe I wasn't very clear.
We will be placing a portable gate in this drive aisle so the rear of the lot when the
business ~s not open will not be accessible. In addition to be blocked off here, it's going
to be blocked off here as well.
William Din: My final question, I guess for me is Mr Snyder raised a point here and I
wasn't aware of that because of the Goodwdl non-profit status are they exempt from
bus~ness license for selling cars or anything? This is just a Conditional Use for a car. Do
they have a special exemption? I'm not sure to whom I'm addressing th~s that doesn't
require them to do the same thing as another car lot.
John Morgan: Yes sir. We're a 501C3 Organization so we're exempt from taxes.
William Din: And other permits?
John Morgan: And other permits. Yes sir.
William D~n: If you say so.
Ronald Rlpley: It's always a conflict with private enterprise and non-profits. That's not a
new issue. That's always the case. Eddie, what do you mean by a portable gate? What
is a portable gate?
Eddie Bourdon: It's a gate on wheels and you pull it back when it's open.
Ronald Rlpley: Is ~t fixed to one side?
Eddie Bourdon: Correct.
Ronald Pdpley: By providing a blt of security, I mean that throws a different light to me
on the number of cars that would be allowed in the back. Now it becomes a dedicated
use more less as opposed to a use that would be promd~ng parking for people coming
there to use the facility.
Eddie Bourdon: You just roll the gate out and it blocks off the back when the business is
closing. You roll it open in the morning.
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 12
Ronald Rlpley: Lock it up?
Eddie Bourdon: It's not a major.
Ronald Ripley: Is it chain link or something? Is that something that you're looking for?
The city is looking for a chain llnk?
Carolyn Smith: I think that far off of Virginia Beach Boulevard that's fine.
Eddie Bourdon. It will just be for the back half of the building. You will just control
access in and out when the business was closed.
Ronald Pdpley: Don, did you have a question?
Donald Horsley: Yeah. Will kind of hit on it and that's the concern that Mr. Snyder had
about being in competition. It's kind of an unfair situation but can you address it? Give
me an idea of the value of the normal cars that you all will get.
John Morgan: Boy, that's tough. They range from anywhere from scrap value up to and
we receive Mercedes, Jaguars that we were selling for 3,500-4,000 dollars. It depends
and these are unsolicited donations. Just people, like our charity and they know we can
use them to fund our employee training programs.
Donald Horsley: I can see and I haven't really thought about but I was more concerned
about the homeless deal until Mr. Snyder came up and he's directly across the street and
you'll be in direct competition with him He's got an unfair advantage if he's got all
these other added expenses. But, I'm thinking that maybe and you can correct me if I'm
wrong that the caliber of vehicle quahty that you've got may not...
John Morgan: A majority of the vehicles that people are donating to us because they can
get a larger tax write off then they can a trade in value when they buy a new car. And, a
lot of them are bought by used car dealers and resold.
Donald Horsley: So maybe Mr. Snyder can get a deal from you.
John Morgan: I'm sure he could.
Ronald Rlpley: Mr. Morgan, do you have a backlog? Where are you keeping these cars
now?
John Morgan: Pdght now, we have Motor's Auction Group for picking them up and
auctioning them for us. We used to sell them but like I said we're getting such a volume
in and in order to comply with State laws we needed to find a facility that we could apply
for a dealership hcense.
Ronald Rlpley: Why do you th~nk you 90 spaces? It seemed like a lot to us. You got
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 13
about 95 spaces back there and you're going to devote it all to this, basically. Is that the
intent?
John Morgan: We would like to promote this. A lot of Goodwdls across the country do
a very good business in used automobiles and it contributes greatly to the employee
training programs. Right now, we are not promoting this at all. We're just getting
unsohclted donation of vehicles and we would hke to start this as a side business and
actually promote and try to get the good vehicles to get this going to add revenues.
Hopefully, the number of vehicles will range.
Ronald Rlpley: I understand the motivation. My question is 90, is that a number that
you've got to have or is that something you just came up with?
John Morgan: We wouldn't have to have as many auctions if we could keep a few more
out there and have a bigger selection. If we were hm~ted to 20-30, we would have to
move them and probably have to have more auctions.
Eddie Bourdon: That decision Mr. Ripley, in terms of the number of vehicles. We're
certainly not going to be having that many vehicles there initially. And, we've got to go
to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to have more than 28 vehicles back there.
I think everybody that's looked at this recognizes that the need for parking for this
facility is nowhere near 163 parking spaces. So, whether at the Board of Zoning Appeals
we wind up with a variance to allow 50 or 60 versus 90, any of those things are
posslbdltles. The Goodwill Industries has just moved into the building in the last few
months so we've got the ability to monitor the need for parking and traffic generation and
the expectation from other sites is that we will not need the parking ~n the back. And, we
don't expect that there will be 90 vehicles in the back other than occasionally. And, if the
Board of Zoning Appeals and Zoning Department reduces that amount we can live with a
lesser amount. Again, it's parking the vehicles and I don't think there's an issue there In
terms of the land use other than if it creates a situation where there is not enough parking.
But beyond that, It's a parking lot already.
Ronald Rlpley: Charhe rinsed a pretty good question. I don't know but I'll ask the City
Attorney that when you issue the Conditional Use Permit it's got to run with the land and
it's going to continue to run with the land and I think the responsibility of the staff was a
good response. They feel it's an appropriate use. But, is there any mechanism if that use
was to stop to convert it back other than voluntary conversion by the applicant?
Kay Wilson: That is what would have to happen. The applicant would have to come in
and get nd of the permit. It doesn't happen often, ever.
Eddie Bourdon. There are a couple of things. The conditions that are attached to this
application are such that any dealership wouldn't and they would have to ask that the
conditions be modified, again, that no work on vehicles at all. The only washing that can
take place is by hand. You've got no vehicle display. I think there is a con&t~on that if it
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc.
Page 14
isn't you can certainly put in there. In front of the building because the front isn't to be
used for vehicle display and the dealer would want that. This property is so large and so
valuable your typical used car dealership isn't going to buy it, afford it. It's got a huge
retail building on it so the only possibility from that perspective is a new car dealership
and they couldn't live with these conditions and they probably wouldn't live that large
building on the site either. So, I think you got it covered practically anyway you cut it. If
you want to add additional conditions that address that is something that we'll certainly
listen to but this isn't going to open the door to Checkered Flag or Hall Honda moving in,
that's for sure and not with these conditions.
Ronald Rlpley: Okay. Are there any other comments?
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion that we approve Item #13,
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads. I have great admiration for what Goodwill does
and with the added security I think they'll be good neighbors.
Ronald Rlpley: So a motion to approve with these twelve conditions.
Dorothy Wood: Yes sir.
Ronald Pdpley: Do I have a second? Seconded by Kathy Katsias. Is there any
discussion?
Charhe Salle': I did raise the issue about the Use Permit running with the land. And,
staff seems confident that even if this turned into a commercial lot it would be an
appropriate use. I still have some concerns in terms of the variance. I'm not sure but it's
a variance that is subsequently granted that's going to run with the land. In addition to
the Use Permit and I'm not sure if you got this type of facility that can turn into
something else in the future but the retail use being reestablished other than Goodwill and
then having the used car facility too, so that's for the Board of Zoning Appeals and I hope
they pay particular attention to that issue. And, I think and I guess in terms of
competition and that's not an issue that we normally deal with. We deal with the land use
issues and although I'm not sure that the applicant was correct in terms of being exempt
from all these permits and licenses. I mean, certainly not exempt from this process and
obviously if DMV is requmng them to get permits so to a certain extent they are going to
be regulated like any other car dealer, I think. As far as taxes go, I guess they're not
paying them but I presume they're saving us taxpayers some money in the work that they
do. So, it all balances out.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there any other comments?
Donald Horsley: Along with what Charhe says, the only way that I think we could
protect ourselves with the Use Permit would be put a time limit where it could be
administratively reviewed every year. And if it ever did change hands the administration
Item #13
Goodwill Industries of Hampton Roads, Inc
Page 15
could take care of that immediately. That is the only way that I see. Kay, would that a
way that could be taken care of?.
Kay Wilson: You could put in a condition that would be administratively reviewed
yearly. We've done that with many other uses.
Donald Horsley: And, then if it ever did change hands.
Kay Wilson: They could be back before you.
Donald Horsley: I don't know if the Commission would like to add that condition or not
but that's the only way that I see that it could be done.
Ronald Rlpley: I think that might be a good idea. I think the way I understood the
minimum parking was established or computed is basically different types of uses within
the building. Is that correct? That's correct? Obviously, if those uses were to change
radically the need for parking might change radically also, so I think that's very
appropriate.
Kay Wilson: It would also give the neighborhood maybe perhaps some comfort in
knowing that it is going to be reviewed in a year.
Ronald Rlpley: I thlnk SO also.
Donald Horsley: I don't think the apphcant would have a problem with that. We're
doing it to protect them down the road.
Ronald Rlpley: I think Dot wants to add that.
Dorothy Wood: I'd like to add that to my motion. Who seconded it? Kathy.
Ronald Rlpley: Kathy? Kathy Katslas accepts this as a second.
Eddie Bourdon: The applicant will accept that condition and Mr. Salle's comment is
accurate as well. I'm sure the Board of Zoning Appeals is going to put a condition on the
variance as well.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there any other comments? So, we're going to vote on the amended
motion, I guess.
Donald Horsley: The fence details are in the conditions.
Ronald Rlpley: Yes it 1S. So, we'll call for the question.

to explain the Planning Commission's decision.
Charhe Salle': Again, this ~s a Conditional Use Permit at the intersection of Shore Drive
and Diamond Spnngs Road for motor vehicle sales. We felt the major issues were
compatibihty w~th the surrounding area and the consistency of the project with the
recommendation of Comprehensive Plan. We felt that the apphcatlon is compatible with
the surrounding uses and does comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Whale the site ~s
not located w~than the Shore Drive Corridor Overlay District, the apphcant has agreed to
a number of improvements, which would comply with those regulations. The site has an
abandoned service station located on ~t now, and we feel that with the landscaping and
change of that structure and improvement in the traffic conditions that this will be a value
to the area, and we feel like it should be recommended for approval.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Hearing no opposition. Mr. Rlpley, I would move to
approve thru item on the consent agenda, which is Item #14. Thru is WDR Propemes, an
ordinance upon apphcat~on of WDR Properties for a Conditional Use Permit for motor
vehicle sales and rental on property located on Shore Drive in the Bayslde District with

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Fort Worth Development, Inc.- Conditional Use Permit
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Fort Worth Development, Inc. for a Conditional
Use Permit for multi-family dwellings in B-4 (SD) on the north side of Shore Drive
between D~nw~dd~e Road and Dupont C~rcle (GPIN 1489590079) DISTRICT 4-
BAYSIDE
The purpose of this request ~s to construct 27 mulb-family dwellings ~n a
condominium form of ownership.
Th~s request was approved by the City Council on August 12 On September 9,
the C~ty Council, as prowded for by Secbon 107(f) of the C~ty Zoning Ordinance,
voted to reconsider the approval of August 12. The City Council established the
date of October 28 for that recons~derabon to occur.
On October 28, City Council deferred th~s matter to the November 25 meebn.q,
allow~nq bme for the applicant and the staff to discuss alternabve site and
bu~ld~nq deskqns that would, ~n particular, ~ncrease the d~stance of the bu~ld~n.q
from the live oak trees located on the western edqe of the sublect s~te
Considerations:
The applicant ~s requesting to develop this 1 14-acre site w~th 27 m~d-nse (6-
story) multifam~ly un,ts (24 un~ts per acre) The Zoning Ordinance ~dentifies
mulbfam~ly dwelling un~ts ~n the B-4 D~strict as a "conditional use" rather than a
"permitted" use thereby requ~nng the applicant to seek a Cond~bonal Use Permit
The proposed 27-unit condominium development does meet the density allowed
under the B-4 zoning (albeit the maximum allowed at 24 un~ts per acre),
however, Staff d~d not recommend approval of the proposal to the Planning
Commission based on specific concerns regarding the height of the structure, the
overall massiveness of the building, and the lack of adequate setback from the
ulbmate right-of-way recommended by the Master Transportabon Plan for Shore
Drive The Planning Commission passed a mobon by a recorded vote of 6-3 to
approve th~s request w~th the cond~bons.

Fort Worth Development
Page 2 of 3
S~nce the October 28 deferral of th~s matter by the C~ty Council, the staff and the
applicant have d~scussed several alternative s~te and building changes The
latest changes accomplish the following
· The building footprint has been reduced so that the western building wall
~s now approximately 40 feet from the I~ve oak tree located on the western
parcel boundary The building footprint has decreased from 24,631 square
feet to 16,220 square feet
· The building fa(;ade adjacent to Shore Drive has been reduced ~n w~dth by
approximately 30 feet and has been redesigned to provide a more
appealing appearance
· The architecture of the building ~s fundamentally the same style as the
plan approved by the C~ty Council, however, the materials have changed
to ~ncrease the amount of brick, particularly on the front facade The height
of the budding ~s approximately the same as the originally approved
building, w~th a slight reducbon from 87 feet and 8 ~nches ~n height to
approximately 85 feet
· The number of parking spaces has fallen from 63 to 61, but stdl meets the
requirements of the C~ty Zoning Ordinance, which calls for 54 spaces
Seven spaces, therefore, are for 'guests'
· The rewsed layout and building elevation changes eliminate the need for
variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals
· Details on protecting five I~ve oak trees located on the western parcel
boundary have been prowded, ~nclud~ng the use of chain I~nk fencing
around the trees and logging mats between the fence and the building to
m~n~m~ze so~l compaction Staff requested opinions on the proposed
method of protection from four experts ~n the field of horticulture, ~nclud~ng
the C~ty Arbonst As of November 19, 2003, one of the experts had
responded, nobng that the proposal seemed to be a reasonable method of
protecting the trees
· Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 6-3 to approve
th~s request w~th the following cond~bons
The development of the s~te (~nclud~ng s~te layout, ~ngress/egress, fence
Iocabon and materials, etc ) shall substantially conform to the submitted
plan enbtled, "Parking Lot Layout of Dupont C~rcle, Shore Drive, V~rg~n~a
Beach, VA," prepared by MSA, P C, dated 11-17-03, which has been
exhibited to the Wrg~n~a Beach C~ty Council and ~s on file ~n the Planning

restored to its condition prior lo construction (May require aeration).
Pruning: There are dead limbs/branches that need to be removed for safbty/aesthetic
considerations. Also. vines need to be removed from the canopie~;. Thc pruning may
occur at anytime because thc "protection wall" formed when thc limb/branch died.
Fertilization: Recommend fertilization before start of construction to ensttr¢ adequate
soil nutrition - fertilizer rates based on D.B H. of tree. A low slow- release nitrogen
fi~rtilizcr is best because ~t would not encourage extensive new growth which would
reduce thc tree's reserves dunng construction
Monitoring: The trees will be monitored on a monthly basis. Site v~s~ts w~ll allow for
timely evaluations of thc tree's health and assessment of construcl~on ~mpact. Any
abnormalities w~ii be addressed and corrected ~f necessary.

Transportation
Master Transportation Plan (MTP) I Capital Improvement Program (CIP):
Shore Drive in the vic~nity of this apphcation ~s considered a four (4) lane urban
artenal. It is idenbfied ~n the adopted Master Transportation Plan (which replaced
the 1991 Master Street and H~ghway Plan in 1997) as a 150-foot wide right-of-way
w~th a mulb-use tra~l. The ex~sbng right-of-way ~n th~s Iocabon, as measured by staff,
~s approximately 106 to 110 feet Staff esbmates that a 20 to 22 foot reservabon will
be needed on this side of the road at th~s location to accomplish the required 150-
foot w~de right-of-way Section 201(b) of the City Zoning Ordinance requires that the

Comprehensive Plan
The area of the proposed development falls w~thin the "M~xed Zone" as ~dentified ~n the
Shore Drive Corndor Design Guidelines This portion of Shore Dr~ve possesses a mix
of uses, primarily s~ngle-fam~ly and duplex units, office and commercial uses. The
Comprehensive Plan generally supports resort type uses ~ncluding lodging, retail,
entertainment, recreational, cultural and other uses ~n this area The Bayfront Planning
Area's land use policies support well-planned and designed residential developments
that promote community aesthetics, economic wtal~ty, quahty physical environment, and
enhanced quality of life. The Shore Drive Corridor Plan and the Design Guidelines are
established to ensure that these ~n~batives are achieved. In add~bon, mulbple-family
dwellings in the B-4 (SD) Resort Commercial D~strict are allowed as Conditional Uses
only
Summary of Proposal
Proposal
The applicant is requesting to develop th~s 1 14 acre s~te with 27 mid-rise (6-
story) mulbfamily un~ts (24 un~ts per acre). The Zoning Ordinance ~denbfles
mulbfam~ly dwelling units ~n the B-4 District as a "condibonal use" rather than
a "permitted" use thereby requ~nng the applicant to seek a Condibonal Use
Permit.
Site Desiqn
The site plan depicts a
s~ngle entrance along
the eastern property
I~ne off of Dupont
C~rcle.
All 60 parking spaces
w~ll be under the six (6)
story budding
Access to the units ~s prowded wa four (4)~ntenor stairwells and two (2)
elevators accessed under the building, w~thin the parking area
The structure containing the 27 units ~s "U" shaped. On the ground floor,
w~thin the m~ddle of the building, the site plan depicts two (2) rooms
adequately s~zed for meebngs, banquets or recreabon/exerc~se A k~tchen
and restrooms are also proposed in th~s area.
A patio from the meebng and banquet rooms leads to an outdoor pool
depicted on the northern I~mits of development, at the foot of primary coastal
sand dune
A Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) variance is required as the structure ~s
proposed four (4) feet from western property I~ne (Dupont Circle right-of-way)
and it therefore w~th~n the required eight (8) foot s~de yard setback In
addition, the depicted s~x (6) foot fence ~s shown on the property I~nes on both
D~nw~dd~e Road and Dupont C~rcle instead of the required eight (8) feet
setback.
Vehicular and Pedestrian Access
No d~rect access to Shore Drive ~s proposed Only a s~ngle ~ngress/egress
along the eastern property I~ne, off of Dupont C~rcle, is proposed.
An outdoor pool is depicted on the northern I~m~ts of development, at the foot
of primary coastal sand dune
The DSC has ~nd~cated that sidewalks along Shore Drive and up to the
entrance along Dupont C~rcle w~ll be required
Architectural Design
· The front elevabon facing Shore Drive depicts a s~x (6) story building with
parking underneath on the first floor. The exterior building materials are a m~x
of reddish brick along the foundation and "stepping up" to the third floor from
the east and west corners, then transition~ng to wnyl shakes. The applicant
has markedly ~mproved the Shore Drive fa(;ade w~th the inclusion of porches
and columns. An architectural grade, green asphalt shingle w~ll cover the roof
and the parking and storage areas (the first and second floors) In an attempt
to shield the parking from the street, it was covered with a roof and treated as
Planning Commission Agenda

FORT WORTH DEVELOPMENT / # 15
Page 6
a port~on of the fa(;ade.
The rear and s~de elevation m~mics the front w~th the use of porches to
capture the views available to the Chesapeake Bay.
Applicability to the Pertinent Shore Drive Design Guidelines:
General Design Concepts/Residential Guidelines
· Facades should be articulated to reduce the scale and one-d~mensional
appearance. The overall ~ntent ~s to encourage a more human scale and
pedestrian or~entabon
Staff Comment: The apphcant has modlfied the original design to achieve
th~s guldeline. However, the human scale is lacking and the there ~s no
obwous pedestnan onentabon.
Facades greater than 50 feet ~n length, visible from a public street, should
~ncorporate wall plane projecbons or recesses hawng a depth of at least three
feet.
Staff Comment: The proposed design does utilize projections and recesses
to reduce the redundancy and ~ncrease the wsual interest.
Fronts oriented toward Shore Drive should ~ncorporate one-story porches,
arcades, bay w~ndows, entry areas, breezeways, awnings, or other features.
Staff Comment: The ongmal design has been modified to include porches
facing Shore Drive. The building does have a "false arcade" that provides
cover to the parking spaces facing Shore Dnve; however, it is obvious that it
~s covenng a parking area rather than prowd~ng a pedestnan entry and cover.
The roof of th~s arcade ~s somewhat odd and perhaps could be modified so
that doesn't extend beyond the first floor.
Fa(;ade colors should be Iow reflecbve, subtle, neutral, or earth tone colors
Staff Comment' The earth tones of light and darkish brown are in keeping
w~th this guideline.
The placement of dormers and other raised roof areas, with a pnnc~pal
sloping roof, are encouraged. Use of half story, etc.
Staff Comment' The proposed vanabons in the roofhne do help to enhance
the appearance of the building; however, the height being six (6) stones does
not provide for a lot of roof exposure other than the somewhat awkward roof
covenng the parklng.
Planning Commission Agenda
June 11, 2003
FORT WORTH DEVELOPMENT / # 15
Page 7
Front building facades should be located at the front yard setback.
Staff Comment: The building is located at the existing front yard setback of
30 feet; however, as noted earlier, due to Shore Drive being ~denbfied on the
Master Transportabon Plan as a 150 foot wide right-of-way, the location of the
structure should be located 30 feet from the reservation. The app#cant is
unwilling to recognize this requirement. Th~s serious issue nullifies any
positive merits of the budd~ng's design.
The street elevabon of mulbple-un~t res~denbal buildings should have at least
one street oriented entrance and contain the principal w~ndows of the front
unit
Staff Comment: There ~s no pedestrian entrance visible from Shore Drive
The covered parking area that leads to the elevators and stairs ¢s hidden from
the rights-of-way.
Walls
· Walls should be clad in wood, cedar shingles, hardboard siding, I~ghtwe~ght
concrete s~d~ng, or shingles. L~m~ted quantities of brick, stone or EIFS or split
faced block ~s allowable. Horizontal lap wnyl s~d~ng ~s discouraged.
Staff Comment. The building materials include brick, two (2) variations of
wnyl shake. The ¢ntent of th¢s gu¢deflne has been met.
Walls of more than one material should only change material along a
horizontal hne - the "heawer" material beneath the "l~ghter" material, trim
required at the change
Staff Comment. This recommendabon has not been used in the design of
the building.
The second floor should be stepped back from the first floor, relabve to Shore
Drive
Staff Comment: The covered parking does extend out to Shore Drive beyond
the upper floors.
Roofs
· P~tched roofs should be metal standing seam, copper, wood shakes, or h~gh-
quality asphalt shingles w~th a slope between 6 12 and 10'12.
Staff Comment: The roofs have a h~gh quarry architectural style green
shingle.
Fascia and soffit material should be painted wood, vinyl or metal Open
fascia w~th decorative rafter tads of 10 to 12 ~nches are encouraged
Staff Comment. The fascia and soffit are wnyl ¢na color to match the
Planning Commission Agenda
June 11, 2003
FORT WORTH DEVELOPMENT / # 15
Page 8
building. However, the fascia is not open and does not incorporate decorative
rafter tails.
Variabons in roof lines with the use of overhanging eaves, parapets, height
variations and entrance features ~s encouraged.
Staff Comment' There is some attempt to meet this guidehne
Roofs specified ~n the Mixed Zone should be p~tched to maintain compatibility
w~th the residential identity of the Ocean Park neighborhood
Staff Comment: While the roof may m/m/c those of the res/denbal dwellings
to the west, due to the height and square footage of the structure, it will
appear out of balance Even though there/s a higher building to the east,/t/s
set away from the property hne and does not have as massive an appearance
from Shore Drive As this project maximizes the allowable lot coverage, it will
appear more massive and out of scale w/th the development to the west.
Building Materials
· Porches should be wood, synthebc wood or faces with brick or stone. Porch
ced~ngs should be painted or have detailed v~nyl covenng.
Staff Comment. The proposed porches/pabos w/ll have concrete flooring.
· Rading systems should be wood, painted steel or wnyl
Staff Comment: The railing systems w/ll be vinyl coated alum/num.
Columns should be wood or synthebc wood.
Staff Comment: The columns will be steel wrapped in vinyl and will appear
as painted wood
Porches, arcades, breezeways, etc should be vertically proportional to the
building.
Staff Comment: This guideline has generally been met.
· Balconies should not extend more than 4 feet from the building.
Staff Comment: It appears that th/s guideline has been met
Windows and Doors
· W~ndows and exterior casing should be high quahty wood, v~nyl clad wood,
v~nyl or aluminum Exterior casing should be 3 ½ ~nches to 6 roches w~de
around all w~ndows and doors facing rights-of-way. W~ndow s~ze on the
second floor should be same proportion but shghtly small than the first floor
Staff Comment: Varying w~ndow sizes are proposed. The exterior casing
appears to be narrow and not consistent with this gu/dehne.
Planning Commission Agenda
June 11, 2003
FORT WORTH DEVELOPMENT I # 15
Page 9
Landscape and Open Space Desiqn
· The rear of the property is encumbered by a coastal primary sand dune that
provides approximately 7,500 square feet of open, unbuildable area
A Board of Zoning Appeals variance will be sought for the ehm~nabon of the
required Category I landscaping between the fence and the property I~nes
where required. If fencing is ~nstalled w~th~n five (5) feet of any right-of-way,
Category I screening is required. On this s~te, Category I would be required
for approximately the n~ne (9) feet along Dinwidd~e Road and approximately
the 27 feet along Dupont C~rcle where the proposed fence is planned w~th~n
five (5) feet from these rights-of-way. Some landscaping ~s proposed in these
areas ~n lieu of the tall growing Category I species.
The Concept Plan identifies 12 trees to be saved, however, it does not
~nd~cate the number of large trees that are proposed for removal It appears
that many of these trees are actually w~th~n the r~ght-of-way, however,
extreme care must be taken if these are to be preserved The plan depicts 16
new L~ve Oaks to be ~nstalled on the s~te and evergreen flowenng shrubs
serving as foundabon landscaping.
Evaluation of Request
Staff cannot support this request. The applicant ~s requesbng to develop th~s 1 14 acre
site w~th 27 mid-r~se mulbfam~ly un~ts at a density of 24 un~ts per acre (the maximum
allowed under the C~ty Zoning Ordinance). The applicant had an approved plan (dated
12-19-98) for a 40 unit condominium prior to the adopbon of the Shore Drive Overlay
D~stnct, however, th~s s~te plan approval has expired and ~t is not the desire of the
applicant to construct the same project However, this new proposal ~s not
recommended for approval.
There are two ma~n areas of concern' (a) project concept and design and (b) Master
Transportation Plan
Project Concept and Desiqn
The area of the proposed development falls w~thin the "M~xed Zone" as ~dentifled ~n the
Shore Dr~ve Corridor Design Gu~dehnes. This port~on of Shore Drive possesses a mix
of uses, primarily s~ngle family and duplex un~ts, office and commercial uses. Mulbple
family dwellings proposed ~n the B-4 (SD) Resort Commercial D~stnct are permitted as

Page 10
Conditional Uses only, thereby requiring rewew and approval by the C~ty Council
Certain uses are allowed as "Conditional" when a potenbal exists for that use to have an
adverse ~mpact on surrounding properbes
The apphcant has worked to ~mprove the design of the structure, parbcularly w~th
respect to the facade facing Shore Drive, as well as allewate concerns expressed by the
neighborhood regarding trash pick-up, vehicular and pedestrian access and tree
preservation. The proposed 27-unit condominium development does meet the density
allowed under the B-4 zoning (albe~t the maximum allowed at 36 un~ts per acre) and the
design can be viewed as being somewhat consistent w~th the specific design guidelines
of the Shore Drive Overlay. However, Staff cannot recommend approval of the proposal
based on specific concerns regarding the height of the structure and the resulbng
massiveness of the six (6) story, 111,596 square foot building. Section 221 0) of the City
of City Zoning Ordinance sbpulates that any cond~bonal use "..be compabble w~th the
neighborhood in which ~t ~s to be located, both ~n terms of exisbng land uses and
cond~bons and ~n terms of proposed land uses and use permitted by right ~n the area.
Among matters to be considered ~n th~s connecbon are traffic flow and control, access to
and c~rculabon w~th~n the property; off-street parking and loading, refuse and service
areas; ublities, screening and buffering; s~gns, yards and other open spaces, height,
bulk and location of structures; Iocabon of proposed open space uses, hours and the
manner of operabon; and noise, light, dust, odor, fumes and vibrabons."
Whde the "use" of the property for mulb-fam~ly dwellings ~s acceptable, Staff concludes
that the massiveness and height of the structure could negatively ~mpact the
surrounding res~denbal properbes to the west. Secbon 221 requires, among other
th~ngs, that the height and the bulk of the proposal be ~n concert w~th all surrounding
properties There are the two (2) and three (3) story res~denbal units to the west Staff
acknowledges the existence of the 12 story, Chesapeake House h~gh rise adjacent to
the east However, the massiveness of that development does not appear as ~mpos~ng
due to the fact that the footpnnt of the h~gh rise ~tself does not encompass the majority
of the s~te as does th~s project and the Chesapeake House property ~s larger, thereby
reducing its "presence." In add~bon, the high nse's above ground 3 story parking deck
prowdes for some form of a trans~bon from the 12 story high rise to this property ~n
quesbon. Moreover, the recent changes to the zoning ~n the Shore Drive Corridor and
the accompanying Shore Drive Design Guidelines are ~ntended to encourage a more
human scale and pedestrian onentabon for development along Shore Drive, particularly
along th~s segment of the roadway Staff recommends that the applicant apply th~s
pnnc~ple and reconsider the concept and design of the project.
Master Transportation Plan
The more serious concern of City staff ~nvolves the Master Transportabon Plan. The
Master Transportation Plan ~dentifies this porbon of Shore Drive as a 150-foot w~de
Planning Commission Agenda
June 11, 2003
FORT WORTH DEVELOPMENT I # 15
Page 11
right-of-way. The ex~sting right-of-way ~s deficient in th~s regard. The ex~sbng r~ght-of-
way ~n th~s location, as measured by staff, ~s approximately 106 to 110 feet. Staff
esbmates that a 20 to 22 foot reservation will be needed on th~s s~de of the road at th~s
location to accomplish the required 150-foot w~de right-of-way Shore Drive ~s planned
to have extensive landscaping and trads, which when combined w~th future
~mprovements to the roadway lanes and the replacement of the Lesner Bridge, requires
a wide right-of-way Secbon 201(b) of the C~ty Zoning Ordinance requires that the yard
setback be measured from the ulbmate right-of-way, as expressed ~n this case by the
reservabon I~ne. There is space on the plan to accommodate the reservation; however,
the building setback cannot be met when measured from the reservation I~ne. It ~s,
therefore, staff's posibon that regardless of any other ~ssue, the failure of the applicant
to adhere to the City's adopted Master Transportabon Plan makes it ~mposs~ble for staff
to support this request as currently designed.
Staff ~s not supportive of this request for a Condibonal Use Permit and recommends that
the project be den~ed.
Should the request be approved, the following condibons are encouraged.

District, B-2 Business District, B-1 Business District and R-40 Residential District
to Conditional A-36 Apartment District)
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2003
· Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Near Post, L L C for a Change of Zon~n,q
D~stnct Classification from H-1 Hotel D~stnct, B-2 Bus~ness D~stnct, B-1 Bus~ness
D~stnct and R-40 Res~denbal D~stnct to Cond~bonal A-36 Apartment D~stnct on
property located at 1020 and 1040 Lask~n Road and a port~on of Parcel A, Oriole
Dr~ve (GPINS 2418613236, 2418616228, 2418246584, and a port~on of
2418517557) DISTRICT 5 - LYNNHAVEN
The applicant ~s proposing the consol~dabon of three parcels to develop 90 luxury
condominium un~ts, parking and associated recreational amenities
On October 28, C~ty Council deferred th~s matter to the November 25 meebnq
Considerations:
Currently the Seashore Motel, a Hardees restaurant and a small port~on of the
Cavalier Golf Course occupy the property
The submitted conceptual s~te plan depicts ten buildings, landscaped areas, a
pool and recreabonal building F~ve buildings front along Lask~n Road, w~th four
buildings located along the rear of the property A building also fronts on Oriole
Drive S~ngle entrances from Lask~n Road and from Oriole Drive are depicted on
the plan, however, several ex~st~ng entrances from Lask~n Road w~ll be
eliminated Ornamental fencing ~s shown along Lask~n Road and Oriole Drive as
part of the landscaping The building heights along Lask~n Road and Oriole Drive
are vaned to create wsual relief and to lessen the 'wall' effect that large buildings
can establish along roadways The proposed landscaping and ornamental
fencing along the roadways w~ll soften the eye level ws~on of the proposed
buildings
The proposed development represents a dramatic reducbon ~n the number of
un~ts compared to what could be built by-right on the s~te w~th the ex~st~ng H-1
Hotel zoning (90 un~ts under th~s proffered rezon~ng versus up to 243 under the
Near Post
Page 2 of 2
H-1 zoning) Th~s ~s s~gn~flcant considering the fact that the s~te ~s s~tuated w~th~n
the 70 to 75 dB AICUZ and Accident Potenbal Zone II
S~nce the Planning Commission heanng, the applicant submitted an add~bonal
proffer containing prows~ons requested by the Un~ted States Navy Th~s new
proffer, Number 10, reads as follows
The Grantor agrees to ~nsert ~n the Sales Contracts between Grantor and
the Purchasers of the un~ts w~th~n the P~nes at B~rdneck the following
notices
(a) The Property ~s located w~th~n the 70 to 75 dB Ldn No~se Zone and the
A~rcraft Accident Potential Zone (APZ) II for the NAS Oceana A~r Base
During flight trials, there ~s the potential for d~rect overflies of the

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates th~s area as suitable for retad, office, and
other compatible uses within commercial centers serving surrounding neighborhoods
and commun~bes However the Oceanfront Resort Area Concept Plan (ORACP), a
component of the Comprehensive Plan, recognizes the Laskln Road Corridor as the
northernmost east/west roadway accessing the resort This gateway provides many
ws~tors w~th their first ~mpress~on of the resort area The ORACP states that th~s
gateway wdl estabhsh the k~nd of quality that one may expect throughout the Oceanfront
Resort Area The Concept Plan also recommends that development ~n this area be ~n
compliance w~th the pnnc~ples established for the Oceanfront Resort Area These
pnnclples emphasize the following issues
1 Lask~n Road must be able to move high volumes of traffic desbned for the
oceanfront resort,
2 Improvements along th~s corridor must exhibit excepbonal design quality

Evaluation of Request
The request to rezone the s~te from H-1 Hotel D~stnct, B-2 Community Bus~ness D~stnct,
B-1 Bus~ness D~stnct and R-40 Res~denbal D~stnct to Cond~bonal A-36 Apartment
D~stnct and to develop 90 condominium un~ts, associated parking and recreational area
~s recommended for approval as proffered
The proposed development represents a dramabc reducbon ~n the number of un~ts
compared to what could be built by-right on the s~te w~th the ex~sbng H-1 Hotel zoning
(90 un~ts under th~s proffered rezon~ng versus up to 264 under the H-1 zoning) Th~s ~s
s~gn~flcant cons~denng the fact that the s~te ~s s~tuated w~th~n the 70 to 75 dB AICUZ and
Accident Potenbal Zone II
The applicant worked w~th staff to produce a project that furthers the upscale ws~on for
the Lask~n Road Corridor The building heights along Lask~n Road and Oriole Drive are
vaned to create wsual rehef and to lessen the 'wall' effect that large buildings can
estabhsh along roadways The proposed landscaping and ornamental fencing along the
roadways wdl soften the eye level ws~on of the proposed buddings The proposed
budding materials are of h~gh quality and are complementary of one another The
buddings are s~tuated on the s~te to take advantage of the expansive wews of the golf
course and waterways Several ex~sbng entrances from Lask~n Road wdl be eliminated
The redevelopment of the s~te w~ll present a pos~bve ~mage for the surrounding area and
th~s gateway to the Oceanfront Resort Area Therefore, staff recommends approval of
the request as proffered

RE Near Post LLC Rezonlng Application
Dear
As you know, this application was deferred from the Planning Commission's September
agenda to ~ts October, 2003 agenda
During that time period, we had occasion to meet with the Cove Point Condominium
Association Board of Directors and their attorney One of the pnnmpal concerns rinsed by the
residents of Cove Point was that with one of our proposed access ways to our project on
S Oriole Drive While the Department of Public Woiks has not yet approved the location of that
access way, the concern l alsed by the residents of Cove Point was that the vehicles entenng my
client's property from S Oriole might back up traffic on S Oriole to the point wheIe the
residents of Cove Point might not be able to get into then condominium project While we
advised them that my client's apphcanon would substantially reduce the projected traffic on S
Oriole and Lask~n Road from that allowed under existing zonings, we agreed that we would seek
permission from the City to add a left turn lane ~nto our site on S Oriole Drive Consistent with
this, my client ~s willing to move Bmldlng #9 further west approximately 10' to 12' and to
dedicate that alea to the City and construct the left turn stack lane on S Oriole Drive
We recognize this is an issue that is addressed at the s~te plan process, but we wanted to
make clear our ~ntentlons and our willingness to construct improvements within the public right-
of-way that will benefit the residents of my chent's proposed project, as well as the residents of
Cove Point Condominiums

R.J Nutter. Mr. Rlpley, members of the Commission. I want to thank you.
Ronald Rlpley' It's tough when you get deferred. You get deferred and you get called to
the back.
R.J. Nutter: I bet the group that you called up earlier, and they've seen that application,
and they ought to be thanking you right now At any rate I want to thank you, not for
only heanng ~t, but for not taking a break.
Donald Horsley: I agree Mr. Chairman
Eugene Crabtree: Can we have a 15-minute recess?
R J. Nutter I can imagine you're tired. First of all, let me introduce myself My name is

accord. Having said all those things and introductions let me try and briefly go through
th~s apphcatmn w~th you. It was on your last month's agenda It's actually been on your
agenda on two prior occasions While this is the first time you've had the opportunity to
hear it, it is probably the third time you've been briefed on it by your staff, so I will try to
be very brief Mr. Rlpley. First let me tell you that I th~nk the highlight of this application
is in fact it is 5.9 acres The property consists of portions that are zoned H-l, B-2, B-1
and R-40. It's current zoning would allow for an ~ntenslty use far in excess of what is on
the property today, and what is being proposed in this application. It is located at the
entrance to City's Gateway ProJect, which is recognized in the Comprehensive Plan and
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and recognized in the new Comprehensive Plan,
which is under consideration today. So, this property plays an important role in what
happens in this area of the city. We recognize that, and as a result we have paid a lot of
attention to the quahty levels that the city is looking for, for a project in the Gateway
center of the city As I indicated to you the property is currently zoned H-1 and would
Item #25
Near Post, L L.C
Page 2
allow 260 some units on the property by right The existing hotel facility that's there
today is probably most kindly referred as an area that this IS somewhat at risk. I would
tell you all the comments from the residents of the neighborhoods around it, Birdneck
Point and others, they would tell you some horror stories about what has gone on at that
hotel over the course of the years. It is frankly an area that needed some serious
redevelopment, and that is what this project brings to you. To give you an idea of the
financial degree of that development you can look at this a many number of ways. If you
look at ~t from a zoning context it's a substantial reduction in the densities, traffic impacts
and other th~ngs that could affect the property and the area around it. If you look at it at a
context of the zoning restrictions, which most are H-l, B-2, and B-l, they are all
unrestricted. They're not conditional. Any use can go there without review by the city
outside subdivision and site plan ordinance. What we bring to the table then is a
redevelopment that makes it fully conditional. It restricts the density down well under
what is there today Frankly, it brings a stunning project right to the Gateway of the city.
As I indicated to you as another way of measuring it as a financial way, and right now the
estimated value, and this is being very kind of the improvements on the project, is
somewhere just under five million dollars The estimated value of this property after
development will be In excess of 50 million dollars So, it is a ten-fold increase in public
benefit, if you are a taxpayer, while all the time putting conditions on it and reducing the
intensity of the development. The development consists of really a series of individual
buildings that house a total of 90 condominium units. The units range in size from about
2,000-3,000 square feet The beginning sales price of these units will be about $385,000,
and they'll go up to about $750,000 and that is without extras. I think the reality is that
they will go from $400-800 thousand dollars and up This property enjoys a vista of the
golf course, Cavalier, that is unrecogmzed to many of us because we are used to driving
by and seeing the hotel What you realize is once you remove the hotel that you have a
dynamic wew down that golf course and even a view of over the water, which is the same
view that is enjoyed by the Cove Point Condominium Association, which is right on the
water So, our concerns of this project were therefore then how to design this to meet the
quality levels and the capability levels, and we think we've accomplished that. Now, first
as I told you, the series of buildings are depicted on the site plan, and I want to pay
particular attention to a couple of details In working with staff, Bob and his office on a
number of occasions, we agreed to reduce the height of the structures along BIrdneck
Road I'm sorry, along Laskln Road to five story structures and the rear portion of those
same structures would be six stories. Conversely, we get the same exact th~ng on the golf
course as five stories along the golf course and six stories on the interior. The building
has drawn a lot of attention, and I want to point this out to you and that is the building
over here on South Oriole Drive. This building, and we have a rendering of that, and if I
could go perhaps to the next one. This particular elevation depicts the location. Laskin
Road would be here and South Oriole would be here. This is the Merchant's Tire and
Auto on the comer This is the building that I'm speaking about and I've pointed these
th~ngs out to you in the record because I promised Mr Nuckols and the Cove Point
Condom~mum Association that I would make a particular reference of these features
This ~s a structure that really goes from two to three to five and SlX stories It is designed
to be two stories here because ~t is adjacent to structures across the street that are two
Item #25
Near Post, L L.C.
Page 3
stories and in some cases three story structures So, we had to pay particular attention to
that, and this is all part of the proffered plan that is submitted to staff and apparently this
particular rendering did not make the staff's web page so we told them that we would
make a particular point of pointing it out to them in the presentation that this would be
the building, that is in fact intended for the property and proffered for the property. The
other nice components of this are that we brought this application to not only with staff
comments for review and their recommendation but we also presented this proposal to
the Resort Advisory Commission as a request to the Resort Advisory Commission. They
also have recommended approval of the application We have met with the Blrdneck
Point Civic League and the Blrdneck Point Civic League has also voted to recommend
approval. I have a letter from them and in fact, I'll be happy to pass out to you. Most
recently, we've met with Cove Point and they asked us to address several Issues and I
want to take a little time to do that. One I've already addressed with you, namely the
building that's adjacent to the entrance to their property The other issues they were
concerned pnnclpally had to do with, and I could go back to the perhaps the plan of entry
zoning map Ashby Their access way is right here off of South Oriole Drive. They were
concerned about traffic stacking up entering this property because we have an access way
proposed back here and our pnnclpal entrance IS here, but as you all know there's a
median that goes along here with no median break. If you're coming from a westerly
direction traveling east then when you come to this light you have several ways of
entering the property You can go up to the Birdneck Point entrance and go down the
feeder and come in that way. You can go down Laskin Road to Oriole and either do a u-
turn, which is rather tight quite frankly, do a u-turn here and come in that way, or you can
go down to Oriole and enter the property in that direction So, there was concern that
there would be increased traffic on Oriole and Oriole is only 30-foot wide right-of-way
Although we showed them and they didn't deny that with this reduction in density, and as
your staff report points out we are reducing the amount of traffic per day from 1,400 to
about 97 vehicle trips per day They acknowledged all that What we agreed to do in
short, and we submitted a letter to Faith that says we would agree to move this first
building which is right here further to this direction by 10-12 feet so we could dedicate
about a 10 foot area along here so we could install a turn lane for stacking into our site
We have no objection to that whatsoever. The staff would have to agree to that during
site plan approval, but we have proffered that. I shouldn't say that but we have written to
staff requesting to be able to do that. We urge the civic league to work with us to make
that happen We hope to work with the district representative on Council to pull that in,
and agmn we would be making those improvements. I see the light is coming so I'll try
to wrap up briefly
Ronald Ripley. The light has come and gone.
R.J Nutter' Come and gone? I would like to pass this letter out to you, and I'll probably
respond if I could to any questions
Ronald Ripley: I'm sure you'll find ways of getting your points out
Item #25

R J. Nutter You are all very good about letting us add to and address questions because
they are questions here. I want to make sure that we got those points out to the civic
league
Ronald Rlpley: Okay Thank you very much We have a John Mllleson to give support
of this Do you wish to speak?
John Mdleson' Hi. I'm John Mllleson. I'm the General Manager of Cavalier Golf and
Yacht Club I'm here on behalf of the Board of Directors, who are unanimously
supporting this project We believe it will add greatly to the entire neighborhood of
Blrdneck Point, and it's a very suitable part of what we see as beneficial to the city at
large Thank you
Ronald Ripley. Thank you very much. Are there any questions9 Is there anybody else
to speak in favor of the application? In opposition is a Mike Nuckols, an attorney with
Fraggert and Fneden Is this who you are representing, the Cove Point Condominium
Association?
Mike Nuckols That's correct.
Ronald Rlpley: Okay.
Mike Nuckols: I thank you for heanng me I wasn't sure to sign up in opposition or in
favor You don't have a box that's in between, and that's where I am right now with the
Association
Ronald Rlpley' Okay
Mike Nuckols: We have met with representatives of the applicant, Mr. Nutter, and we've
been able to work through a number of issues and concerns that we have had initially and
quite frankly, the Association would really like to support this project 100 percent. They
think it's an excellent project It has a lot of merit to it There is one major issue
however that concerns the Association and the residents of Cove Point, which is that
intersection at Oriole Drive and Laskln Road. Currently, I am told that there are times
when residents try to exist the condomlmum have to sit through two or three light cycles
just to get on Laskin Road The reason for that is because the road is so narrow that
unless people pull over far enough to make a double lane, you can't make a right turn to
exit on to the feeder road. There is also quite a bit of traffic there and so it's a concern
We also realize that it's one that this developer doesn't really have any real direct control
over, but it is something that the city has some control or ability to control. We want to
employ the city to look at this intersection and to take an affirmative action to make the
improvements that really are needed for this intersection There are a couple of proJects
on the other side of Laskm Road that are currently underway as I understand it that would
also empty into this intersection creating additional traffic back up and tie ups. Unless
something is done soon it's going to be a major problem for everybody worse than it is
,
Item #25

Page 5
now What really brought this to our attention is the fact that there really will be no
median break for this project As R J pointed out, if you want to enter into the main
entrance you either have to get on that feeder road at the Blrdneck light or you will have
to come to Oriole and make u-tum either onto Laskln or on to the feeder road, which
further ties up traffic trying to exit or turn right coming out of Oriole and go west on
Laskln Road It's the sense of the Association that people who are trying east on Laskln
who want to enter this project are not going to bother with that u-turn and are not going to
turn onto Blrdneck Road, they're going to come to Oriole, make a left and go down and
turn into the entrance that's projected and proposed off of Oriole. The applicant has
addressed that issue by offering to establish a center turn lane going into the project and
that helps in that direction but it doesn't help exiting onto Laskln When you add these
new developments into the mix it's really going to create a headache and some potential
problems that quite frankly are already there in many ways. The feeder roads are difficult
to negotiate in any event I don't know if you ever tried to make a turn at that
intersection at all but I have. I used to work down there back in the mid to late 80's, just
down the road at the Blrdneck intersection. Even at that time, entenng on to that feeder
road was a problem. I know it's only gotten worse since that time As I say, the
Association would really like to support the project because they think it is an excellent
use, but we also would like the Planning Commission and the City Council to add to their
agenda a project that would take care of the issues and problems and traffic congestion
that currently exists and is only going to be made worse by these additional projects
entenng into the intersection. I'll be happy to answer any questions
Ronald Rlpley: Mr. White, can I ask you something9
Stephen White. Sir.
Ronald Rlpley' With the Laskln Road improvements, we got one side of Laskln Road
that is going to be improved up to about Blrdneck, just a little bit beyond and the second
one all the way to the Oceanfront. Are there preliminary plans out showing how Laskln
Road will be treated in this area, which might alleviate some of the concerns of Mr.
Nuckols9
Stephen White: For this section of Laskln Road, those plans are currently under design
We looked at the conceptual, and my feeling is that some of these issues, if not all of
them, will be resolved by those plans and what's being done with that. However, I've got
to tell you that those plans are conceptual at this point. They are not final. The other
thing that is noted in staff report is there are still issues with that access point on Oriole,
and that is an issue that would have to be addressed during site plan review Traffic
Englneenng itself is not comfortable with that access on Oriole, as of yet, and that access
may not even be there. There are still some issues to resolve as far as turn lanes and
those kinds of things
Ronald Rlpley: Even going a step further though, I think they can take into harp with
what Mr. Nuckols says here, and take those notes back to traffic to explain the concerns
Item #25
Near Post, L L.C
Page 6
of those of the Association as they go a long ways if you fit It into the plan.
Stephen White: Absolutely.
Ronald Rlpley: If you all would do that we would appreciate it
Stephen White: We'll be glad to.
Mike Nuckols: The biggest problem with the Laskln Road project is waiting on
because there ~s no real time frame as I understand It That's where the Association
coming from. They really do like the project, but this intersection is trouble now, and
is only going to get worse.
Ronald Rlpley: Your comments will bnng focus to it I'm sure
Mike Nuckols: Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Thank you very much. We have Ray Flrenze from Oceana.
Ray F~renze: Good afternoon. My name is Ray Firenze. I'm representing the Navy at
Oceana, and I'm here today in opposition to the proposed. Before I start I'd like to tell
you, Mr. Nutter, I've met w~th him and his staff, his architect and all the concerns that
I'm going to lay out for you here I shared with him a week ago. This project is two and
half miles northeast of Oceana in a 70-75 decibel day/night average noise zone. It's in
accident potential zone number two It's directly ahgned to our runway two three, which
accounted for 47 percent of 218,000 annual flight operations in 2002. That is about
102,000 operations. What you see there ~s one strmght line coming off the ocean, but that
actually represents five different fl~ght tracks. For example, there are two flight tracks
that I analyze, two radar type approaches between September 2002 and August 2003. We
over flew that area 4,891 times, and that's just two of the tracks. So what does that
mean? It's two and half males, at about five miles at 1500 feet the airplane starts final
descent ~nto the runway At 300 feet a male the rate of descent we're going to be over the
top of that complex at 800 feet. So what does mean? It means that were going to over
fly that place quite frankly and at night, no doubt. Using metric caught sound exposure
level and what the sound exposure level does is ~t measures the ~mpact of the noise
duration, the maximum and m~mmal db levels, so what they can expect is an F-18 right
now, Hornet, at a 1,000 feet ~s 109 decibels and a Super Hornet, which we are getting.
Now the last t~me I was up here that decision hadn't been made It's going to be 114
decibels, but ~f you want to compare some decibel levels, normal conversation ~s 60 db
and a rock concert ~s a 110 db. So you w~ll have 100,000 rock concerts flying over year.
It's not only about jet no~se. It's also a safety issue about putting th~s complex in an
accident potential zone. Oceana and Fentress are 24-hour facd~tles. We ask that you
consider our concerns on your way to a final decision and hke our letter stated from Capt
Keeley, that we view further development in this area as incompatible and an
encroachment upon operations at Oceana That's it. Thank you

Ronald Rlpley Are there questions of Ray9
Ray Flrenze. Thank you.
Ronald Rlpley: Yes, Mr. Nutter, please.
R.J Nutter Thank you I want to thank Ray and the gentleman that he brought with him
and I keep forgetting his name. Forgive me.
Ray Flrenze: Bobby Roundtree.
R.J Nutter. Bobby Roundtree Thank you very much. We appreciate the opportunity to
meet with them. We shared with them quite a bit of information about this project and
now just what we showed you but a lot of the construction details. I shared a little bit of
that with you This is not a normal stick and brick construction. When you go to six
stories in height and five stones in height these buildings are all constructed out of
concrete and steel. They have the heaviest of installation and windows. So from the
sound effect, they are built to standards that, quite frankly that most residential buildings
in this area don't meet at all, well in excessive. Secondly, we've tried to point out and I
think and they don't deny. This is a little different then other applications that have taken
a more public stand on where the zoning is not in place and where you have a situation
where the existing zoning allows a degree of intense development far and excess of
what's being proposed In fact, this is definitely a reduction in the number of people
living, working, and being in and around that same exact area with this application
That's the one point that I think I can almost leave with you, because there is no other
way to reduce the potential impact on what can be built on that property other than a
rezomng application and otherwise you can go 267 units plus B-1 and B-2 properties in
additional to that, unconditional. As you may know H-1 district does not have height
limit We have a height here in this case of 85 feet at the highest point If there were no
zoning there, I would have a difficult time making this presentation But the fact is that
we're reducing what's there and that's an improvement in terms of what the potential
problems are here Secondly, we're building this to standards that far exceed residential
normal standard Third, let me tell you that the normal buyer and what we're finding is
that the buyers for these properties are interested ~n the properties as staying there for
only months a year. Most of these are second homes for them. This is what we shared
with the other condominium owners at Cove Point as well The other is, quite frankly is
that many of them live right in and around this area today and at Cove Point, we've
talked with them and we've talked with and we've met in their room, which is just right
across the street. They know it very well and several of them expressed some interest in
it. I just want to tell you that people, who live, work and play in this area no this issue
They like the Navy they think they are an asset. They use the ability to live on that
property as an asset. This is the only thing that I can tell you that we'll actually reduce
the concerns that the Navy might have by reducing the dens,ties or by right can be built
on the property. That is how we tried to address their concerns. That is why we think this
distinguishes us from other cases that they have taken a public position on. Mr. Rlpley,
i
Item #25

Page 8
thank you for the opportunity to respond and rebut, and I'll be happy to answer any
questions We've got everybody here and if you have any questions whatsoever.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there any questions of Mr. Nutter?
Barry Knight. R.J, two questions. Is any person who buys the condominium unit going
to have a disclosure?
R J Nutter' Yes sir
Barry Knight I mean, Oceana was here first. They need to understand that, right9
You're signing this document, and I'm sure that Ray will probably and hopefully won't
get any complaints, but they were put on notice when they bought this condo unit.
R.J. Nutter. That's correct In fact, we've suggested in this case, and in fact Ray asked
us if we would consider what he called a "sight specific" warning. Not just what IS
required in the ordinance but one that identifies the particulars are there and the number
of fights that apply. We certainly have no objection to that.
Barry Knight' Number two. I noticed that in the 70-75 decibel range and course that is
outside. If someone was in their house what type of reduction do you get on decibel
rating by being inside by the way you're going to construct this building?
R J. Nutter: I would have to ask Dan. I know it's a big one because this IS so much
better than my home. My home is built with sticks and basically with lumber I don't
have concrete doors and steel construction I apologize. If it held up dunng the
hurricane, I guess I'm okay It is not the normal wood frame construction. Dan, if you
can try to address that
Dan Sampson: Again, I'm Dan Sampson with Sampson and Associates Architects
We're the design architects for the project. The city ordinance requires and establishes a
minimum a STC rating for the exterior walls within each of the different sound zones
We certainly anticipate and will anticipate exceeding those requirements. I think the STC
rating In that area has to be at least 56, which translates to essentially six inches of steel
planks with installation, a couple of layers on either side. There will be siding on the
outside. The roof also has similar sound attenuation requirements and in addition to our
efforts we will be employing an engineer will be involved in the design of the building
and also give us the opportunity to ensure that our construction is going to deal with the
sound issues that are there, if we don't it is not going to sell So, we haven't done
anything for our client unless we do provide that level of construction Overall, the
building is planning on being a steel structure with pre-cast concrete planks. The central
core will be a masonry structure inside the bmld~ng.
Barry Knight Can you give me a number as far as decibel reduction? If it's 75 sound on
Item #25
Near Post, L L C.
Page 9
your porch, can you give me a number what you will think it will be inside with the
windows closed?
Dan Sampson: No. Other than that it will be definitely what the ordinance requires and
probably greater than that.
Barry Knight: Hopefully greater than that
Dan Sampson: Certainly greater.
Barry Knight. I'm sure you're going to exceed the minimums, I would think.
Dan Sampson: To give you a specific number, I would risk the probability of being
wrong. That's not something I'm involved in. I'm telling you that our staff will include
or the team that's designing will Include acoustics as well.
Barry Knight' When Ray told us 60 decibels for normal conversation, I've got a
benchmark on that. You said you couldn't, and I understand that but I'd like to ask this
question, and I'll ask it agmn if you come before us again and you want a different
project. I'd like to know how much it would lower, because if it lowers it to 65 decibels,
Ray isn't going to get to many phone calls, but If only lowers it two or three decibels, he
might receive a phone call or two.
Dan Sampson: Certainly. They put out a little pamphlet that explains that the minimum
requirements for the sound zones.
Eugene Crabtree' Ray said the Super Hornets dbs are 114 dbs. I think what Barry wants
to say is because 114 (tbs that's coming over there at 800 foot, what IS the dbs going to be
inside one of these apartments?
Dan Sampson' I can't answer that, other than to tell you that the ordinance will be
comphed with.
Eugene Crabtree: Noise doesn't bother me as much as crashes. I don't care how much
steel you put there it's not going to stop one of those Super Hornets if it goes into the side
of that building, and it's going to have 102,000 flights a year right over there. That to me
is a major concern, and I want to know if the people who are going to buy those things, if
they are going to be aware and fully aware of this as well as they are the noise because
ten years from now I don't want somebody suing the United States Government for 60
million dollars because one of those went into one of those buildings.
Dan Sampson: Certmnly
Eugene Crabtree' Or the noise Either one.

Dan Sampson: I mean, life has risks.
Eugene Crabtree' I understand that.
Dan Sampson: As long as you're informed.
Eugene Crabtree. The Navy knows it, but are your clients going to know it9
Dan Sampson: The answer is yes
Eugene Crabtree. As you know, I am torn between this, in fact that you can build a hotel
there and have a lot more people there and have tourist there, or you can build it this way
and have a reduction You're darned if you do and you're darned if you don't type thing.
R J Nutter: I think it makes it more plausible for you because quite frankly you are able,
and we've worked with instances before, with the Navy where we've had higher density
possibilities and lower them and those were about two years ago. I don't know how to
equate that today.
Eugene Crabtree: I'm more concerned with the accident potential.
R.J. Nutter' I understand That's why I think that what this does and this is the only
opportunity you have on this property to reduce the accident potential problems that
could exist That's the best way I know how to put it It's going down to 90 units from
264 plus B-2 and B-1 That's a big, big reduction. We acknowledge the issue and
thought there was a way as to building it the right way and put people on notice to what's
going on. We feel like no one knows this If you go down on Blrdneck Road where all
those people live and work at Blrdneck Point, this is no strange subject to them When
we sat at Cove Point we had several flyovers at that time They know it very well.
You're right, not many leave it They would love it They would absolutely love it. You
can see the ocean, go to the country club and play golf, and they're perfectly happy
They were happy to see these units would be built and probably raised the fair market
value
Dan Sampson. I can also add that without having advertised the owners have informed
us that they already have 23 reservations That's not a purchase, but it's got that kind of
Interest, and they haven't even tried to advertise it yet.
Ronald Rlpley: Are there other comments? Yes, Kathy.
Kathy Katslas' This is a wonderful improvement to th~s location. I was wondenng about
Merchant's Tire.
R.J. Nutter' We've had a lot of questions about that Let me tell you the s~tuat~on
We've talked to the property owners Right now, this property ~s covered by a lease, and
Item//25
Near Post, L L.C.
Page 11
it has about five years left on Its term. This property we built ~s in phases, in that it's
starting from the west and moving east It's our hope that as we get closer to that time
period and the closest to the termination of that lease that we might be able to work
arrangements with them at that time That's the most asked question that we've had from
Birdneck Point, Cove Point and other residents that we've spoken with. We are trying to
negotiate with them if at all possible
Kathy Katslas: Thank you
R.J. Nutter' Yes ma'am
Ronald Rlpley Okay. Thank you very much.
R J Nutter. My pleasure Mr Ripley
Ronald Rlpley: Is there any discussion amongst the Commissioners9 Charhe.
Charhe Salle': This is a project that I want to support. I do want to make a comment as
far as what the people from Oceana had to say, and that although I support the project, I
do take what they have to say very seriously. I think it's an area where we do have a
potential for the development, and I think that's what is better in the long run. I think that
as much as I'm concerned with the noise and more so then the crash potential, I think we
have to look at the reality of the situation, and we understand that neither the Navy or the
city is going to condemn and prevent any development within the areas that are colored
on that map So, absence that commitment there's going to be development, and there's
no way we can deny that, and so I think what we have to do is try and control the
development in the best possible way. I think this project does that for that property. As
I say, absent wiping out all developing and buying that land up by either the city or the
Navy, which never will happen, we have to deal with reality that something is going to
happen there and try to manage It the best way we can
Ronald Rlpley' Gene.
Eugene Crabtree. I tend to agree with Charhe Everybody knows that I support the
military and the Navy thoroughly in this, but unfortunately, I think we're going to have to
go with this because it's the less of two evils. If we don't go with this and something else
goes there, I think we might have more potential for something far more dangerous
Therefore, I think this is the lesser of the things that we might decide to do. Even though
it sort of goes different in my brain, I'm going to support this application, I think.
Ronald Ripley. Are there other comments? Yes, Jan.
Janlce Anderson I just want to say that I think it is a quality product. It IS a gateway in
to the resort area, being Laskln Road, and that it could spread Improvement and that
follows the Comprehensive Plan and what they have to improve the gateways. They

have support of the neighbors, and I think that ~s a good There is concem for I believe
Pubhc Works can improve the work on w~th the street problem W~th comment smd by
the Planmng Commissioners, I'd make a motion to approve
Ronald Rlpley: We have a motion to approve by Jan Anderson, seconded by Kathy
Kats~as Is there any more d~scusslon? I want to make a comment to and I'll try not to be
redundant The project ~s a beautiful project It's absolutely perfect for the c~ty~
however, I think the location relative to the crash zone, and I think Charhe probably
expressed it well, and I think those people up here understand that, and that ~s the zoning
is in place and by-right is a far more intense development that could occur, and this what
one point that I had to wrestle with the apphcat~on All other things ~n the application
were absolutely outstanding So, we take ~t to heart, but we're kind of between a rock
and a hard spot unlike the last application Anyway, I'm going to support it also. Are
there any other comments9 Let's call for the question.

Ronald Ripley: Okay. The next order of the day is our consent agenda. Vice Chairman
Dot Wood will be introducing this section. Dot.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Ron. This afternoon we have eight items on the consent
agenda As I call the item, would you please come to the podium, state your name and if
you have read the conditions and if you agree with them. The first item is Item #8, which
is the City of Virginia Beach for an Ordinance upon Application of the City of Virginia
for a Change of Zomng District Classification from R-5D Residential to P-1 Preservation
District on property located on the north and south sides of Shell Road in the Bayslde
District. Is there any opposition to Item #8, the City of Virginia Beach? If there is any
opposition, we will drop the item down and hear it at the regular time but heanng none,
Jan, would you please tell us about Item #8?
Jamce Anderson: Yes. Thank you. This is an apphcatlon by the City of Virginia Beach.
It involves the purchase of this property from the City of Norfolk. The property is zoned
for Residential R-5D but the condition of the sale would be the change of the zoning to
the Preservation District. This change of zoning is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and the City's Outdoor Plan, which is preservation of open space in
this area. So, with those conditions the Commission has recommended approval to
Council.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Ripley, I would move to approve this item on the
consent agenda, which is the City of Virginia Beach for an ordinance upon application of
a change of zoning district in the Bayslde District.

CIVIL LAWSUITS RESOLVED DURING THE MONTH
OF OCTOBER, 2003
Court of Appeals of Virg~ma
Charlotte Styles. v. Virginia Beach Department of Social Services - termination of parental
rights
In November 2000 the juvenile and domestic relations court, finding neglect, ordered the four
children of Charlotte Styles into the custody of the Department of Social Services. In July 2002 the
juvenile court, on the petition of the Department, terminated the mother's parental rights to the
children (ages 3, 9, 10, and 13). Styles appealed to circuit court for a new thai. In October 2002,
after a three and one-half day trial, the clrcmt court terminated her parental rights to the three year
old, and ordered the other children returned to her custody, conditioned upon her cooperation with
the Social Services Department.
Styles appealed the decision of the clrcmt court terminating her parental rights to her three-
year-old son. On September 30, 2003, the Virginia Court of Appeals reversed the circuit court,
vacated the c~rcuit court order terminating parental rights, and remanded the case to the circuit court.
Virginia Beach Clrcmt Court
John T. Tevis v. Erol O. Diaz- neghgence
In June, John Tev~s sued C~ty police officer D~az for $50,000 for personal injuries allegedly
resulting from a colhsmn with a pohce cruiser driven by D~az. Diaz was responding to a robbery
with lights and siren when he lost control of his vehicle, crossed the median and collided nearly
head-on with Tevis's vehicle. The accident occurred on September 24, 2001, on D~amond Springs
Road near the Thurston Lane intersection. On October 2, 2003, the court granted our motion to
dismiss the stat agmnst officer Diaz on ~mmunity grounds.
Kim Edmond, Individually, and as Mother and Next Friend of Kelvin Edmond v.
Edward Kopicki and City of Virginia Beach - negligence
Thxs stat filed in Circuit Court on October 2002 alleges that on October 29, 2000, City police
officer Kopickl, assaulted juvenile Kelvin Edmond at the College Park Skating Center on S. Military
Highway. The suit seeks $100,000 ~n compensatory damages and $350,000 ~n punitive damages
from Koplckl, and $100,000 in compensatory damages from the C~ty. At the t~me, Koplck~ was off-
duty, working part-time employment in uniform, providing security for the owner of the skating nnk.
On October 10, 2003, the court granted our motion, and dismissed the City from the suit on
sovereign immunity grounds. Officer Kop~cki's defense ~s being prowded by the Skating Center in
accordance with the terms of the agreement by which Kopickl was h~red for this part-time security
work, and authorized to do so by the pohce chief.
Judith Belinda Wooldridge v. Steven Q. Krall, Larry Cheramie, Cynthia McCord, Brian
