GOVERNOR WARNER AND THREE OTHER VIRGlrNTANS
NAMED TO (~OVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY MAGAZINE'S TOP
25 LZST
-- DOERS, DREAI~IERS AND DP~VERS L_rST HA_tLS THOSE
WHO XI~IPROVE SERVICES AND SAVE J~ONEY --
R/CHMOND - Governor Mark R. Warner, Secretary of Technology
George C. Newstrom, Roanoke City Manager Darlene Burcham, and
Virginia Beach Chief information Officer David Sullivan were named
to Government Technology magazine's "Top 25: Doers, Dreamers
and Drivers." Government Technology says individuals who made
this year's list "implemented innovative ideas that improved
citizens services and public safeb/- and they did so with cost-
effectiveness demanded by current budget realities."
"It is a tribute to the positive technology-based changes that we
have been making in Virginia that 4 out of 25 people who earned
recognition are from the Commonwealth," said Governor Warner.
"Increasing the efficiency of technology not only saves money. It
helps government serve people."
The following is from Government Technology magazine, provides
more information about the award winners, and discusses why they
were selected in the Top 25:
Governor Mark R. Warner created a tight bond between
information technology, government services, and economic
development. To an unprecedented degree, the Governor has put
technology policy on the same plane as other key agendas
embraced by most state executives. Working with Secretary of
Technology George Newstrom, the Governor is aggressively
reforming state IT use by consolidating IT infrastructure and
centralizing services. He is also reining in how the state plans,
budgets and tracks IT expenditures, and insisting on benchmarks
to measure RO! before critical projects proceed. AdditionaUy,
Virginia has one of the few successful e-procurement programs in
government, which has already processed $1 billion in purchases
electronically.
Secretary of Technology George C. Newstrom holds down the
dual roles of ~1- czar and chief strategist for economic
development. Governor Warner gave him the job of reforming the
state's highly decentralized IT infrastructure, services and
resources into a consolidated, centralized program that would rein
in costs while boosting services to citizens and businesses. He was
also tasked with attracting investments to grow the state's tach-
ha?ed economy, boosting research funding for the state's public
umversJties and colleges, commercializing intellectual property and
increasing broadband deployment. Virginia's IT reform effort is
perhaps the biggest under way at the state level. The first of

· http://www.govembr.virginia, gov/.'
dozens of agencies have begun to consolidate their IT
infrastructure and resources under the control of Virginia
Information Techno!ogies Agency (VITA).
Darlene Burcham, city manager of Roanoke, played a key role in
making Roanoke one of the nation's most tech-savvy cities. When
Burcham became city manager in 2000, technology was not
embraced by the city's administration, but that quickly changed
under her leadership. Roanoke is the only municipality to rank first
in the Center for Digital Government's annual Digital Cities Survey
in the 75,000-125,000 population category for three years running,
from 2001 to 2003. A few innovations include free downtown
wireless Internet access for public use, regional public kiosk access
to promote the Roanoke Yalley, and City Council webcasting.
David Sullivan, Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Virginia Beach,
whose department supports approximately 6,000 employees and
3,800 workstations, recently added a live help feature - available
during business hours - to the Virginia Beach Web site. In
November 2003, the city's Web site broke 500,000 user sessions
per month. Other changes that Mr. Sullivan plans to implement
are a citywide 311 system, a human resources payroll system, and
a tax and revenue system.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance To Establish Capital Project #3-336 For The Purpose Of Spot
Blight Abatement
MEETING DATE: April 43, 2004
· Background: In accordance with Section 36-49.1:1 of the Virginia Code, the
City has the authority to acquire by eminent domain single properties that are
determined by the Planning Commission and City Council to be blighted. For those
properties that are determined to be blighted, City Council can authorize the repair,
demolition, and/or acquisition of the property. The City can recoup costs associated with
acquiring and repairing the property.
· Considerations: The establishment of a Capital Project is the most efficient and
effective means of funding the acquisition, maintenance and resale of such properties.
· Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process.
· Alternatives: The acquisition and resale of properties could be handled through
the operating budget, rather than through the establishment of a capital project;
however, providing funding in the operating budget for acquisition of property to be
offset by revenue from resale of the property, may result in a situation where the
revenue from resale is not realized during the same fiscal year in which cost was
incurred for property acquisition. Employing a capital project for the purpose of
acquisition and resale would eliminate this problem.
· Recommendations: That the ordinance establishing capital project #3-336,
Spot Blight Abatement, be approved.
· Attachments: None.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the Acquisition of Property Located at 549
Aragona Boulevard and Appropriating $100,000 to Capital Improvement
Project #3-336 (Spot Blight Abatement)
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: Section 16-39 of the City Code, entitled "Spot Blight Abatement,"
authorizes the City to acquire blighted property by eminent domain under certain
conditions.
In the Fall of 2003, the property which is the subject of this Ordinance (the
"Property") was identified by the Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation as blighted. In October, notice of that determination was sent to the
owner, who failed to respond. As prescribed by Section 16-39, the matter was then
brought before the Planning Commission. The owner of the Property did not appear,
either in person or by a representative. At the conclusion of the public hearing, held on
March 10, 2004, the Commission made the following findings: (1) the Property is
blighted; (2) the owner has not cured the blight and has not presented a reasonable
plan to cure the blight; (3) the City's plan for the disposition of the Property (i.e., acquire
the Property by condemnation and resell the Property under terms which ensure that
the Property is rehabilitated) is in accordance with the City Zoning Ordinance, the
Comprehensive Plan and other applicable land use regulations; and (4) the Property is
not located in an area listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
To date, the owner has neither cured the blight nor submitted a reasonable plan
to cure it.
The attached Spot Blight report provides additional detail regarding the
condition of the Property and the process which has been followed in bringing
the matter before the City Council.
· Considerations: As noted in the attached report, the property was determined
to be unsafe in March, 2002, and has been vacant since that time. The Department of
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation has issued 15 notices of violation against the
Property. The Property is the subject of a suit to collect delinquent taxes in an amount of
approximately $7,400, and an additional $1,091 in code enforcement liens have been
recorded against the Property. The owner has failed to respond to numerous notices
regarding this action. Based upon the foregoing circumstances, the Planning
Commission made a formal finding concurring in the Staff's determination that the
Property is blighted and should be acquired by the City and thereafter resold.
Based on the condition of the Property and the owner's failUre to present a
reasonable plan for curing the blight, Staff believes that acquisition by eminent domain
is the only means of rehabilitating the Property. The City would be required to observe
all legal requirements of the eminent domain process. Once acquired by the City, the
house on the Property would be demolished by the City, and the Property would then be
resold to Habitat for Humanity, a similar organization, or other entity under a contract
which would contain provisions ensuring that the Property is rehabilitated.
· Public Information: This public hearing has been advertised in the Beacon on
March 28 and April 4; in addition, notices have been sent to the owner and to adjacent
property owners. The proposed action has been the subject of at least two articles in the
local newspaper.
· Alternatives: The City Council may affirm, modify or reject the findings of the
Planning Commission. It may authorize the Staff to go forward with its plan for the
disposition of the Property, either in its present form or as modified by the City Council,
or decline to grant such authority.
· Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance, which will affirm the
findings of the Planning Commission; authorize the acquisition of the Property via
eminent domain; appropriate the funds needed for acquisition; and authorize the resale
of the Property.

AGENDA ITEM
iTEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the Acquisition of Property Located at 201 Green
Springs Court and Appropriating $130,000 to Capital Improvement Project
#3-336 (Spot Blight Abatement)
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: Section 16-39 of the City Code, entitled "Spot Blight Abatement,"
authorizes the City to acquire blighted property by eminent domain under certain
conditions.
In the Fall of 2003, the property which is the subject of this Ordinance (the
"Property") was identified by the Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation as blighted. In October, notice of that determination was sent to the
owner, who failed to respond. As prescribed by Section 16-39, the matter was then
brought before the Planning Commission. At a public hearing held by the Commission
at its March meeting, the owner of the Property appeared before the Commission and
presented a plan to rehabilitate the Property; that plan, however, was found to be
inadequate both by Staff and the Commission. At the conclusion of the public hearing,
the Commission made the following findings: (1) the Property is blighted; (2) the owner
has not cured the blight and has not presented a reasonable plan to cure the blight; (3)
the City's plan for the disposition of the Property (he., acquire the Property by
condemnation and resell the Property to an individual or entity under terms which
ensure that the Property is rehabilitated) is in accordance with the City Zoning
Ordinance, the Comprehensive Plan and other applicable land use regulations; and (4)
the Property is not located in an area listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
To date, the owner has neither cured the blight nor submitted a reasonable plan
to cure it.
The attached Spot Blight report provides additional detail regarding the
condition of the Property and the process which has been followed in bringing
the matter before the City Council.
· Considerations: As noted in the attached report, the Property was determined
to be unsafe in December 2001, and has been vacant for approximately two years. It
has been the subject of eighteen (18) enforcement notices in the past three years. The
property owner's plan for curing the blight was determined to be inadequate by the
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, and the Planning Commission
made a formal finding concurring in that determination.
Based on the condition of the Property and the owner's failure to present a
reasonable plan for curing the blight, Staff believes that acquisition by eminent domain
is the only means of rehabilitating the Property. The City would be required to observe
all legal requirements of the eminent domain process. Once acquired by the City, the
Property would be resold to an individual or entity under a contract which would contain
provisions ensuring that the Property is rehabilitated.
· Public Information: This public hearing has been advertised in the Beacon on
March 28 and April 4; in addition, notices have been sent to the owner and to adjacent
property owners. The proposed action has been the subject of at least two articles in the
local newspaper.
· Alternatives: The City Council may affirm, modify or reject the findings of the
Planning Commission. It may authorize the Staff to go forward with its plan for the
disposition of the Property, either in its present form or as modified by the City Council,
or decline to grant such authority.
· Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance, which will affirm the
findings of the Planning Commission; authorize the acquisition of the Property via
eminent domain; appropriate the funds needed for acquisition; and authorize the resale
of the Property.

AGENDA ITEM ~
ITEM: An ordinance to authorize the acquisition of an approximately 27.5 acre parcel from
Durra Group, LLC to preserve right-of-way for the Southeastern parkway, and appropriate
$700,000 from Fund Balance in the General Fund to Capital Project #2-089, Southeastern
Parkway & Greenbelt (Partial) for this purchase.
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: On September 23, 2003, staff briefed Council about the rezoning request
and development plan submitted to the Planning Department by the Darva Group for this + 27.5
acre site located on the north side of Princess Anne Road east of the Virginia Beach Sportsplex
and west of the Tournament Players Club golf course (GPIN 1494-28-0615 Deed Book 2922,
page 863 and Map Book 32, page 64). The development proposal called for rezoning the
property from AG-I/AG-2 to PDH-2, R-7.5, and developing an 86 lot subdivision. But for the
conflict with the roadway plans, it is the opinion of staff that the rezoning would most likely be
approved.
After feedback from City staff of the impact of the Southeastern parkway/Greenbelt and Princess
Anne Road roadway projects on this proposed subdivision project, the developer
withdrew/deferred his rezoning application, and requested that the City purchase the property.
Through city staff negotiations with the property owner, an agreement has been reached for the
purchase of right-of-way for the Southeastern Parkway for $2,100,000 plus not more than
$10,000 for survey and title costs incurred. The purchase price is supported by recent sales in the
vicinity and an appraisal conducted on behalf of the City.
· Considerations: Approximately $1,500,000 is currently available in CIP #2-089,
Southeastern Parkway & Greenbelt (Partial). It is recommended that an additional $700,000 be
appropriated from fund balance in the General Fund to provide sufficient fimding for the
purchase price and related costs.
· Public Information: Advertisement of Council Agenda.
· Alternatives: At this stage of the roadway project, it is not advisable or possible to adjust
the alignment of the Southeastern Parkway to accommodate this development. In February 1996,
the Commonwealth Transportation Board adopted the preferred alignment and authorized the
environmental study and permitting phases. In November 2002, development of the draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) began. In the current Virginia Transportation Six-Year
Program, funding is included for EIS development and fight-of-way acquisition only. Not
acquiring the parcel and allowing it to be developed as proposed into an 86-1ot subdivision
would increase the purchase price if the City delayed purchase to a later date.

the Southeastern Parkway.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Pleasure House Lake Properties Acquisition Ordinance
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: The Pleasure House Lake site includes six existing undeveloped
parcels, totaling 4.6 +/- acres. Approximately 2 acres are upland and 2.6 acres are
water. The property proposed to be acquired is bounded on the north by Lauderdale
Avenue, on the west by Beaufort Avenue, on the south by Lookout Road and on the
east by Northampton Boulevard/Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The property to be
affected includes the portion of the body of water generally known as "Pleasure House
Lake" that lies to the west of Northampton Boulevard/Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
The lake has long been used to drain public water, and this area has a history of
drainage issues. Public Works has made recent infrastructure improvements to provide
drainage relief, and this acquisition will complement those improvements. Construction
plans are currently under review for six duplex residential lots and two single-family
residential lots. The Chesapeake Beach Civic League submitted a petition of signatures
at a City Council public hearing to have the City acquire the site for a City neighborhood
park.
· Recommended Funding Sources: The recommended funding sources for the
acquisition are CIP 4.004 Open Space Program Site Acquisition and CIP 7.183
Stormwater Quality Enhancements.
· Public Information: Subdivision plans for the proposed development were
processed through the administrative procedures of the Department of Planning,
Development Services Center. The files for these subdivision plans are accessible for
public review. The Chesapeake Beach Civic League made presentations to Open
Space Subcommittee, Parks and Recreation Commission throughout 2003 and to City
Council in November 2003 in support of the City acquiring the site for a neighborhood
park. To date the Open Space Subcommittee has not supported acquiring this site for a
park.
· Alternatives: Approve ordinance and proceed with efforts to acquire the
property by agreement or condemnation or deny condemnation ordinance and allow site
to be developed.
· Recommendations: Approve the condemnation ordinance for the site to be
acquired for drainage facilities and for a City neighborhood park.

recreational and drainage purposes within the City and for other related public purposes for the
preservation of the safety, health, peace, good order, comfort, convenience, and for the welfare
of the people in the City of Virginia Beach.

AGENDA ITEM
An Amendment to City Code Section 21-321.2 Pertaining to
Maximum Speed Limits in Designated Neighborhoods
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: On February 13, 2001, an ordinance was passed to deter
speeding on residential streets identified and qualified by the Traffic Calming Program.
That ordinance allows a court to impose a fine up to $200 upon a driver convicted of
speeding on these designated streets.
· Considerations: The Traffic Calming Program has four phases. Phase I
consists of awareness and education, and generally takes place during discussions
between Traffic Engineering and the neighborhood representative. In this phase, the
neighborhood residents identify the streets they want evaluated for inclusion in the
program. Phase II involves speed studies of the identified streets. If the studies show
an 85-Percentile speed of at least 33 mph or, an average speed of at least 29 mph in a
posted 25 mph speed zone, then the Police Department will conduct a series of
selective enforcement initiatives, followed by traffic studies at the end of each
enforcement cycle. Should speeding persist or increase, the streets will be eligible to
enter Phase III of the program if at least 75% of the neighborhood residents in the
identified area sign a petition requesting the implementation of Phase II1. Phase III of
the program involves posting the designated streets with signs warning drivers that
speeding on this street could result in a fine up to $200. Finally, should Phase III fail to
alleviate the speeding problem, the neighborhood may request implementation of
Phase IV, which is the installation of physical devices to prevent speeding.
After advising these neighborhoods of the program policies and the criteria for
inclusion in the Program, the streets added by this amendment have qualified for Phase
III of the Traffic Calming Program. Croatan and Birdneck Point have submitted a
petition showing at least 75% agreement from the established petition area.
· Public Information: This ordinance will be advertised in the same manner other
Council agenda items are advertised.
· Recommendations: Adoption

PART B: POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR THE PROVISION OF EDIP FUNDS
TO QUALIFYING DEVELOPERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS FOR Tl~c
DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTIES IN STRATEGIC
GROWTH AREAS OR ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT AREAS.
1. PURPOSE AND INTENT. It is recoEnized that within the City there are
areas that are currently brownfields, greyfields or vacant, abandoned, under improved or
underdeveloped with improvements or land uses which are not economically viable but, if
developed, should stimulate industry_ and economic development within the City. Moreover,
such properties and areas, if developed or redeveloped, may reasonably be expected to (i)
generate additional tax revenue as a result of capital investment; (ii) create additional job
opportunities; (iii) influence similar redevelopment and additional investment in nearby
properties;(iv) further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and be consistent with the City's
Economic Development Strategy and good zoning principles; and (v) lead to the
establishment of safe and convenient neighborhoods and workplaces. Accordingly, it is the
animating purpose of the Economic Development Investment Program under Part B of this
Policy to enhance the ability of the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority to foster
and stimulate economic development in the City by providing incentives for the
development or redevelopment of properties described herein.
2. ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT AREAS AND STRATEGIC
GROWTH AREAS. The Directors of the Departments of Economic Development and
Planning shall identify areas of the City (i) that are currently brownfields, greyfields, or
vacant, abandoned, under improved or underdeveloped; and (ii) which should be considered
for redevelopment or special development opportunities, but may lie outside of the Strategic
Growth Areas as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Such areas shall be known
as "Economic Redevelopment Areas". Once identified, an Economic Redevelopment Area
5
must be submitted to the Ci_ty Council for designation as such by ordinance. To qualify for
EDIP funds under Part B of this Policy, a developer or owner of property_ must demonstrate
that the subject property_ is located within a Strategic Growth Area which has been
designated as such in the Comprehensive Plan or has been designated an Economic
Redevelopment Area as defined herein by ordinance of the City Council. For purposes of
this Policy, the term "brownfields" means vacant, abandoned or under improved real
property large enough to support significant expansion, redevelopment or reuse, but for
which such expansion, redevelopment or reuse is complicated by the presence of a
substantial amount of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contamination. The term
"greyfields" means underperforming, declining or vacant real estate.
3. QUALIFYING LAND USES. EDIP funds under Part B of this Policy may
be provided for office, industrial, retail, hotel and mixed use development (including high
density and multi-family residential uses).
4. INVESTMENT CRITERIA. EDIP funds may be awarded pursuant to Part
B of this Policy in such instances where the Director has determined, and has advised the
Authority, that both of the following criteria have been met:
a. The net amount of direct tax revenues returned to the City as a result
of the development or redevelopment for which the EDIP funds are
provided will exceed the amount of the EDIP funds provided no later
than 48 months following the payment of the EDIP award; or where
flexibility for tax abatement has been granted by the Ci _ty, the amount
of direct tax revenues not abated as a result of the development or
redevelopment for which EDIP funds are provided will exceed the
amount of the EDIP funds provided no later than 48 months following
the payment of the EDIP award.
b. For every one dollar ($1.00) in EDIP funds provided, the owner or
developer of the development or redevelopment for which such funds
are provided will spend twelve and 50/100 dollars ($12.50) or more
in new capital investment, including buildings, furnishings, and/or
equipment.
The foregoing investment criteria and required return to the City shall be
interpreted as being a threshold for consideration for the award of EDIP funds. No award
of such funds may be made unless all other requirements of Part B of this Policy are satisfied
and all findings stated in Part B of this Policy are made.
6
5. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. EDIP funds mag be authorized for use
pursuant to Part B of this Policy only to the extent that they have been appropriated by thc
City Council. Further, provided that in any given fiscal year, the Authori[y shall not award
more than fifty percent (50 %) of its an~ro~riation for EDIP use for that year
development or redevelopment purposes-~ursuant to Part B of this Policy without
authorization of the City Council:
6. APPLICATION FOR EDIP AWARD. A qnalifyin[ developer or owner
of land who desires EDIP funds for use in the development or redeveloument of property
located in a Strategic Growth Area or an Economic Redevelopment Area may make
application for that purpose through the Department of Economic Development. Thc
applicant shall submit such information and documentation concerning its application as
may be required by the Director. The Director shall review the application and information
submitted and may, if the Director finds that the development or redevelopment of the
property described in the application satisfies all requirements of this Part B, recommend to
the Authority that it award EDIP funds to the applicant. In determining whether to
recommend that EDIP funds be awarded to an applicant, the Director shall find as follows:
a. Whether the provision of EDIP funds is necessary to stimulate the
development or-redevelopment of the property/area; and
b. Whether the development or redevelopment satisfies the investment
criteria set forth in paragraph 4 of this Part B.
Additionally, the Director may consider the following:
c. The amount of EDIP funds remainin[ and available for use pursuant
to this Policy for the fiscal year.
d. The economic return to the City ~enerated by the development or
redevelopment in addition to the criteria set forth in paragraph 4 of this
Part B.
e. The expertise and experience of the developer or property owner
in redeveloping brownfields, grevfields, abandoned, blighted, under
improved and underdeveloped properties.
f. The degree to which the redevelopment may influence development
or redevelopment within the Strategic Growth Area or the Economic
Redevelopment Area and adjacent or nearby properties.
g. The extent to which the development or redevelopment may serve
to implement a change in use which is consistent with and/or furthers
the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the City's Economic
Development Strategy.

redevelopment may expect to generate.
i. The amount of the applicant's capital investment in the development
or redevelopment of the property.
j. The extent to which the plan of development or redevelopment
incorporates mixed uses , provides open space and focuses on
transportation and transit accessibility.
7. AUTHORITY FINDINGS AND ACTION. Based upon the
recommendation of the Director, the Authority shall either approve or disapprove the award
of EDIP funds to the applicant. The Authority may atta_ch conditions to the approval of the

condition that prior to receiving EDIP funds, the recipient of EDIP funds shall provide to
the Authority evidence of all permits or approvals as required by state, federal and local
regulatory agencies and compliance therewith. The Authority shall not be required to

determining whether, and to what extent, the applicant's proposed development or
redevelopment satisfies Part B of this Policy and the Authority's objective of fostering and
stimulating the development of indust~_ in the City. Provided, however, that prior to
approval of the award of EDIP funds to an applicant, the Authority must make the following
findings:

MEETING DATE:

Background: Council by Ordinance dated May 14, 1978 closed a portion of 24th Street,

purchased the Old Coast Guard Station from L. Chartes Buflage and moved it onto the
closed portion of 24t' Street. The Virginia Beach Maritime Museum, Inc., a non-profit
organization, has been utilizing the City property with the knowledge of, but without the
formal approval of, the City of Virginia Beach, since 1981' No written lease exists between
the City and the Museum.
Considerations: Both City staff and the Virginia Beach Maritime Museum, Inc. are in
agreement that an authorizing Ordinance should be passed and a written lease should be
approved and executed.
The Virginia Beach Madtime Museum, Inc. operates a gift shop within a portion of the Old
Coast Guard Station building. The proceeds from sales of items in the gift shop are
reinvested for upkeep of existing exhibits and for purchase or creation of new exhibits.
This facility is important to our City's museum program and madtime history. When the
Virginia Beach Maritime Museum, Inc. first began utilizing the Old Coast Guard Station, there
was a verbal agreement that any proposed lease would provide for annual rant of one dollar.
There are no plans in the foreseeable future to utilize this parcel of property for any usage
other than that use presently established.
Public Information: Advertisement of public hearing as required bY Virginia C°de
§ 15.2 -1800 and advertisement of City Council Agenda.

APR 7 2004
I understand there were some questions concerning leasing the space at 302 22nd
Street to Beach Event instead of the Artist Gallery. I have provided specifics for both
groups that lead us to the conclusion that Beach Events was a more compatible tenant
for this space. I will be glad to provide any additional information you may want on this
issue. Thank you.

Beach Even~ -
· Since they do not have customers coming into the office they could use the
space even though it is not ADA accessible.
· They were also told that there was no parking available at the site and they
would have to make other arrangements with area parking lots to meet that need.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Encroachment Request:
Underground Well and Pump, Irrigation Lines,
Brick Patio and Landscaping Materials
Location: Redtree Court
Applicant: Bay Colony Garden Club
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
Background: The Bay Colony Garden Club has requested permission to encroach into a
portion of existing City dght of way known as Redtree Court, located on the north side of Bay
Colony Drive, in the Bay Colony Subdivision. The purpose of this encroachment is to allow
an underground well and pump, irrigation lines, brick patio and landscaping materials. All
of these improvements are to be placed into a grassy circle in the right of way and are for
the beautification of the community.
Considerations: Construction of the underground well and pump, irrigation lines, bdck
patio and landscaping materials will not be a detriment to maintenance of the city property
at this location, based on staff review. Although placement of this type of irrigation within the
city right of way is unusual, it is necessary in order to assure the survival of the many
plantings proposed by the garden club.
Public Information: Advertisement of Council Agenda.
Alternatives: Approve encroachment with recommended conditions, deny the
encroachment or add conditions as desired.
Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of this request.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Appropriation Request for Virginia Beach Public Library Department
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background:
The City of Virginia Beach has made a strong commitment to serving our multicultural
population by choosing Diversity as one of its Core Strategies, whereby all departments
are encouraged to "value and promote...diversity in race, culture, and ethnicity as a
Community strength and as an important part of being an American." Challenged to
address this goal in service to library customers, the Virginia Beach Public Library
formed a Foreign Language Team to research our community's population and
information needs and to analyze those findings. The recommendation was made to the
Library Director to develop a Foreign Language Materials Collection in the Virginia
Beach Public Library.
A review of data from the 2000 Census reveals two significant ethnic populations in
Virginia Beach. Asian residents make up 4.9% of our population, with 70% of that
group being Filipino. Hispanic residents comprise 4.2% of our population. These two
groups significantly outnumbered all other ethnic groups in Virginia Beach except
African Americans. Data was then collected from reports and educators in the Virginia
Beach Public Schools. In addition to Tagalog and Spanish, the collection will include
other languages taught in the schools: Russian, Japanese, French, German, and Latin.
The Library Foundation allocated $7,000 and the Friends of the Library allocated $2,000
to be used for this initiative. These funds have yet to be appropriated.
· Considerations:
The Library Department has set aside $7,000 of the materials budget to fund this
collection. However, additional funds are needed from other organizations and sources
to implement this collection successfully.
· Public Information:
Library public service staff, library managers, social services staff, public schools
officials, health department officials, community leaders, representatives of area ethnic
groups, Federal agencies, and other local and national public libraries were consulted.
Public information for the Foreign Language Materials Collection will be handled
through established City procedures.
· Alternatives:
Although supplemental funding opportunities exist, these funds from the Library
Foundation and Friends of the Library are crucial for the Foreign Language Materials
Collection to be developed and in place for the projected October 2004 unveilng.
· Recommendations:
it is recommended that the City Council appropriate this $9,000 donation so that foreign
language materials can be purchased.
· Attachments:
None

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Transfer $895,868 from Beach Replenishment, ClP 8-008 to
Rudee inlet Infrastructure Improvement, CIP 8-006
MEETING DATE: April 13, 2004
· Background: Bids were opened on March 9 for the Rudee Inlet
Infrastructure Improvement Project, CIP 8-006. Steel cost escalation and other
factors combined to drive the bid price above available funds. The Iow bid for the
contract was $3,771,683; available funds total $3,282,982. Additional funds of
$518,700 are needed to award the base bid, an additional $377,168 is needed to
restore the contract contingency fund for the project, totaling $895,868.
Because of a delay in the original plan for Resort Beach replenishment related to
FY '04 federal funding availability, funding is available for transfer from the Beach
Replenishment Project, ClP 8-008. Replacement of these funds will be included in
the FY 05/06 Capital budget. Hopefully the issue of federal support for beach
restoration will be resolved.
· Considerations: The project will restore the inlet's aging infrastructure and
extend the north jetty to enhance the maintenance of navigation through more
efficient use of dredging resources and additional protection from shoaling.
Certain portions of the work are necessitated as conditions of the environmental
permits for maintenance dredging of the inlet.
· Public Information: Several public meetings have been conducted to relate
the study and design phases of the Rudee Inlet Infrastructure Improvement
Project. The bidding of the construction phase of the project was advertised in
accordance with State procurement regulations.
· Alternatives: A reduction of scope and subsequent re-bid of the project
would be necessary as an alternative to the fund transfer. The scope reduction
necessary for this purpose would require the deletion of the north jetty extension.
· Recommendations: Adopt the ordinance and transfer the funds.
· Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Adopt the Ordinance

An Ordinance Authorizing the Reimbursement of a Police
Officer for Legal Costs Incurred by Him In His Defense of a
Criminal Charge that was Dismissed by the Court
April 13, 2003
Background: A Virginia Beach Police officer was charged with the misdemeanor
offense of destroying private property. The charge arose from the officer's performance

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the circumstances of the case and
determined that fees charged are reasonable.
Considerations:
In situations where a law-enforcement officer is investigated, arrested, indicted, or
prosecuted for an alleged cdminal act committed in the discharge of official duties,
Section 15.2-1711 of the Code of Virginia authorizes local governing bodies to reimburse
the legal fees and expenses incurred by such officer if no charges are brought, the
charges are dismissed, or at trial the officer is found not guilty.

Approval of ordinance.

An Ordinance upon Application of Christian Chapel Assembly of God for a Conditional
Use Permit for a church on property located at 2751 Salem Road (GPINS
14834859920000; 14835900590000; 14835901080000; 14835992570000). DISTRICT
7 - PRINCESS ANNE
· Considerations:
The applicant wishes to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for an expansion to the existing
church. The site is developed with a modular building, currently being used by the
church, and a parking area. A Conditional Use Permit for a church was obtained in
1991. A Conditional Use Permit for a private school was approved in 1998, but was
never activated.
The proposed project will be phased, beginning with the construction of a multi-purpose
building and fifty-(50) additional parking spaces. The proposed building will contain a
sanctuary with seating for five hundred members, new restrooms, nursery area,
baptistery with changing rooms, kitchen and storage area. The sanctuary will also be
used as a fellowship area. Phase 2 of the project will connect the proposed building to
the existing modular building via an enclosed hallway and foyer, and an open
colonnade. The connecting hall / foyer and open colonnade is designed to screen the
existing modular building and provide a new appearance for the church. The second
floor of the addition will contain classroom space and an audiovisual room, and will be
completed during Phase 3. Phase 4 of the proposed expansion will complete the
parking area, relocate a shed and pave a recreational area. A new lobby and covered
drop-off area is proposed for Phase 5. To complete the project, the roof on the existing
modular building will be replaced with a trussed peaked roof to match the newer portion
of the building.
The church conducts services on Sunday at 8:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Sunday school is
held at 10:00 a.m. On both Saturday and Sunday, the chumh provides student
ministries in the evening from 4:40 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Prayer and children's club
meetings are conducted on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Staff recommended approval. There was opposition to the request.
· Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-1 to approve this
request with the following conditions:
1. The proposed additions to the church shall be developed substantially in
accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan titled "A New Worship Center
for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL ASSEMBLY OF GOD", prepared by Barnes Design
Group and dated April 15, 2002. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department.
2. The proposed parking areas, recreation area, open-space area and landscaped
areas shall be installed in accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan
titled "A New Worship Center for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL ASSEMBLY OF GOD",
prepared by Barnes Design Group and dated April 15, 2002, except only one
entrance / exit to the site from Salem Road shall be allowed. The location of the
proposed entrance / exit will be determined during detailed site plan review.
3. The proposed building shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the
submitted elevation plan titled "A New Worship Center for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL
ASSEMBLY OF GOD", prepared by Barnes Design Group and dated April 15,
2002. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and
is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning.

Summary of Prol
The applicant wishes to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for an expansion to the existing
church. The site is developed with a modular building, currently being used by the
church, and a parking area. A Conditional Use Permit for a church was obtained in
1991. A Conditional Use Permit for a private school was approved in 1998, but was
never activated.
The proposed project will be phased, beginning with the construction of a multi-purpose
building and fifty-(50) additional parking spaces. The proposed building will contain a
sanctuary with seating for five hundred members, new restrcoms, nursery area,
baptistery with changing rooms, kitchen and storage area. The sanctuary will also be
used as a fellowship area. Phase 2 of the project will connect the proposed building to
the existing modular building via an enclosed hallway and foyer, and an open
colonnade. The connecting hall / foyer and open colonnade is designed to screen the
existing modular building and provide a new appearance for the church. The second
floor of the addition will contain classroom space and an audiovisual room, and will be
completed during Phase 3. Phase 4 of the proposed expansion will complete the

Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
· Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the area.
· Compatibility with airfield operations surrounding NAS Oceana and NALF
Fentress.
· Compatibility with the surrounding uses.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as the Transition Area,
an area planned for appropriate growth opportunities, consistent with the economic
vitality policies of the city.
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified at the beginning of this
report. The proposal's strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are
(1) The request for a Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the recommendations
of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed multipurpose building is modern in
design, using spilt-face block, dryvit and a standing seam metal roof to provide
CHRISTIAN CHAPEL
Agenda Item # 7
Page 5
architectural relief in the building. Additionally, as discussed in the
Comprehensive Plan Policy Document under the Citywide issues and Policies,
the character of existing neighborhoods should be preserved and protected
against inappropriate land use intrusions while recognizing the legitimate need
for a limited amount of compatible support activities. Even though the
surrounding homes in the immediate area are not situated in what one would
typically think of as a "neighborhood", a neighborhood does exist, and a church is
a compatible accessory use within a neighborhood.
(2) While the United States Navy opposes any additions to the church because the
site is within the high AICUZ of greater than 75dB Ldn, staff believes that
sufficient building code requirements exist to adequately buffer the building from
the overhead jet noise. Additionally, the primary church services are held during
off-peak flight times.
(3) The church has been conducting church services on this site for over ten years
and has shown that it is compatible with the surrounding uses. Staff concludes
that the proposed expansion is appropriate and should ensure that the current
compatibility of the use continues into the future.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
Conditions
1. The proposed additions to the church shall be developed substantially in
accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan titled "A New Worship Center
for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL ASSEMBLY OF GOD", prepared by Barnes Design
Group and dated April 15, 2002. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department.
2. The proposed parking areas, recreation area, open-space area and landscaped
areas shall be installed in accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan
titled "A New Worship Center for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL ASSEMBLY OF GOD",
prepared by Barnes Design Group and dated April 15, 2002, except only one
entrance / exit to the site from Salem Road shall be allowed. The location of the
proposed entrance / exit will be determined during detailed site plan review.
3. The proposed building shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the
submitted elevation plan titled "A New Worship Center for CHRISTIAN CHAPEL
ASSEMBLY OF GOD", prepared by Barnes Design Group and dated April 15,
2002. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and
CHRISTIAN CHAPEL

is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning.
4. The proposed building shall be constructed to comply with appropriate sound
attenuation measures for structures located within an AICUZ noise zone of more
than 75dB Ldn.
NOTE:
Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. The site plan
submitted with this conditional use permit may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes. Conditional use permits must be
activated within 12 months of City Council approval. See
Section 220(g) of the City Zoning Ordinance for further
information.

Dear Ms. Christie,
I have read over the letter received by your office from the commanding officer of NAS Oceana
regarding our Conditional Use Permit Application which recommended denial of our request. I
would like to offer some insights that may be pertinent.
Firstly, Christian Chapel has served the community of Virginia Beach at the same location on
Salem Road for over eleven years. During that time there has never once been a time when the
"sound of freedom" from Navy jets has interfered with or bothered any service or event. We
have never received any complaint of noise causing distress for any of our members. We have
never had to interrupt a class session or sermon due to high jet noise. It has simply NEVER been
an issue.'
Secondly, our largest public gatherings are on Sunday morning. Having served in the Navy, it is
my understanding that flight operations (for training) are not conducted at that time. In fact, I
cannot recall ever heating a jet fly over on Sunday mornings. In addition, Christian Chapel is
not a 24-hour facility. Late night flight operations have no bearing on our congregation since no
one is here at that time of day.
Thirdly, the increase of noise level with the arrival of the F/A~I $ Super Hornet is only 5 decibels
above current levels. If we have not been bothered up to tiffs point, 5 decibels more will not
make a difference.
Finally, the volume of music dunng our services of praise and worship very likely approaches
that of a rock music concert and we probably would not notice a jet flying over anyway.
Christian Chapel serves a vital need in our community among civilians and navy personnel alike·
In order to serve a growing community we must grow. Our congregation includes a large
percentage of active duty and retired military members. We support the Navy's need for mining
and applaud their efforts to keep pilots at a high level of readiness. We would never request any
changes to their flight operations schedules nor deny the Navy its use of local airfields. Because
of this and the masons stated above, we disagree with the assertion that expansion of our
facilities is not compatible with airfield operations.
We understand the Navy's desire to limit noise exposure in residential areas and note with
pleasure that the Virginia Beach City Council is working closely and purposefully with the Navy
to find a solution that meets both the Navy's and the city's needs. Your concern and hard work
is deeply appreciated.
Please add this to the file contaimng our Conditional Use Permit Application. If you have any
questions, please contact me at (757) 427-9371.

Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Conditional Use Permit
2751 Salem Road
District 7
Princess Anne
March 10, 2004
REGULAR
Dorothy Wood: The next item is the Christian Chapel Assembly of God. It's a
Conditional Use Permit for church expansion. Is there someone here representing the
Christian Assembly? Hello sir.
Chandler Talbert: My name is Chandler Talbert. I'm a Trustee at Christian Chapel.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Talbert. Can you tell us about what you're doing? Just a
little bit please.
Chandler Talbert: Yes. Christian Chapel has been on Salem Road for a number of years.
We built there originally on undeveloped land. We've grown. Our congregation has
grown, and we have basically outgrown our building. We just want to expand.
Dorothy Wood: That's a good thing isn't it?
Chandler Talbert: It's a very good thing.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions?
Robert Miller: At one time, I think we had some information that perhaps there was a
school at the site? Is there no school at that site at this point?
Chandler Talbert: No sir. The school didn't materialize. It couldn't get enough children
to commit to come to the school. It was going to be a pre-school. It just didn't pan out.
Robert Miller: How many parishioners do you have right now?
Chandler Talbert: About 200. I think that's average attendance.
Robert Miller: Okay.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: One sheet is says it's a Conditional Use Permit for parking lot and then
in the proposed project it talks about building new construction. Are you doing just the
parking lot or are you requesting additional buildings?
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 2
Chandler Talbert: I don't know what you were looking at. I was looking at what was in
the agenda item. It's for a building. It's a three-phase project.
Eugene Crabtree: I saw that in one. And on one sheet that I have that staffgave us says
it's for a parking lot. In addition to additional spacing and you be building new
construction?
Chandler Talbert: Yes sir.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other questions? Thank you sir.
Chandler Talbert: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you very much for coming. Is there any opposition?
Joseph Strange: In opposition, we have Bobby Rountree representing the U.S. Navy.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Bobby. It's always good to have you with us.
Bobby Rountree: Good afternoon. My name is Bobby Rountree. I'm here representing
NAS Oceana. With regard to the proposal, I pulled from the Planning Department, the
proposal states that the proposed building will contain a sanctuary for seating of 500
members, new restrooms, a nursery area, and it will also contain classroom space and an
audio/visual room. That is what I'm here to talk about this afternoon, not just a parking
lot. I'm here on behalf of the Navy, more importantly, the future additional members of
this congregation that do not have the ability to come here today. I'm speaking in
opposition of the planned expansion. The proposed site is located approximately 5 miles
southwest of Oceana, three miles north of Fentress in the greater than 75 decibel noise
zone. As you know, it's on the western side of the transition, which is under the main
thoroughfare to and from Ocean's Runway 5. It's also in the vicinity ofF. Donald Reid
and VA-CAR Developments, which have recently come through here. Runway 5 has
accounted for 42 percent of our 201,000 operations in 2003. Aircraft on approach to that
runway come through there at about 1,000 feet at 108 decibel's F-18, using the current
model we have here, 114 decibels soon to be this fall, and when they soon will be
arriving at Oceana and operating out of that installation. If you break down the proposal,
the classroom space, which is part of it is in the greater than 75 decibel average noise
level, which is incompatible with the Navy's AICUZ program, as is a nursery or daycare
center. We ask that you please consider our concerns on your way to the
recommendation to Council, and we do view further development in this area as
incompatible for the mission of NAS Oceana. Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: I think he was talking about the daycare on Sunday mornings. It's not a
school. Did you realize that?
Bobby Rountree: Yes.
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 3
Dorothy Wood: And, also I believe that he really hadn't noticed any flights going over
on Sunday mornings.
Bobby Rountree: It seems that anyone that comes here with a proposal doesn't happen to
notice the aircra~ in recent months.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Mr. Miller?
Robert Miller: Mr. Rountree, in your guidelines under your instruction, obviously this is
a Use that you have identified as one that is not compatible in your AICUZ areas?
Bobby Rountree: Yes sir.
Robert Miller: In any AICUZ area or in any noise zone?
Bobby Rountree: In the greater than 75 decibel is what I researched this morning before
coming here today.
Robert Miller: Would it be applicable in another?
Bobby Rountree: I would have to research that. I don't want to shoot off.
Robert Miller: And, since this land owner already has this church and has been here for
some period of time, you would always looking at your notes if there is another land use
you would certainly encourage that, what land use would you encourage at this site?
Bobby Rountree: There is probably in the vicinity of 40-50 compatible land uses per the
AICUZ instruction. I would recommend any one of those would be highly supported by
NAS Oceana.
Robert Miller: So, NAS Oceana would actually recommend another land use for this
church site?
Bobby Rountree: Certainly.
Robert Miller: And not a church?
Bobby Rountree: The existing church is there. The pre-existing non-conforming land
use, a term you are all very familiar with, and it's there. There is nothing we can do
about that. A decision was made at some point in time, but the future exposure of
congregation and again, I know it's predominately in the Sunday morning time frame,
historically Oceana doesn't operate heavily during that time of day. The one thing we
don't know is how it is going to play out in the future, is the Navy's new fleet ratings
plan in response to war on terror. National Command Authority Tasking could change
the way that installation runs on any given day and could start impacting members of the
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 4
congregation in the morning. It also says there would be some Wednesday evening
prayer and children club from 6:30 to 9:00, which is a predominately pretty busy time
historically for Oceana/Fentress.
Robert Miller: So, what you would say is that you would recommend the existing church
stay the way it is and not grow or expand?
Bobby Rountreo: Yes sir
Robert Miller: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other comments?
Ronald Ripley: My questions are along the same line. The exact question that I was
going to ask is what other land use would you put there? You've answered by saying the
existing use is appropriate that's there. Did you not say that?
Bobby Rountree: We wouldn't ask them to move their existing facility.
Ronald Ripley: But you're objecting to them expanding slightly?
Bobby Rountree: Yes sir. It's the increase of the density of the people that is the concern
of the Navy. Exposing them to the excessive noise and/or the accident potential zones
historically where the aircraft operate close to the airfield. As you are all aware,
anywhere basically inside of their traffic pattern to and from Oeeana there is potential or
mishap, however small, and that's the concern that we have. It's the concentration of
people and increasing that concentration.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Rountree, when a church has a certain number of people normally,
they join a church perhaps not because of a new building but because of other reasons.
Do you think they would have more members because they built another or that their
present members would be more comfortable?
Bobby Rountree: I don't think I'm in a position to answer that. If they would grow or
not, I can't answer that.
Dorothy Wood: Any other questions? Bob?
Robert Miller: It's going to sound like I'm picking on you and to some extent it does but
it's probably not new to you, unfortunately. On Oceana, are there chapels on Oceana?
Bobby Rountree: Yes sir.
Robert Miller: Are any of them new?
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 5
Bobby Rountree: Not that I'm aware of.
Robert Miller: Any of them going to expand?
Bobby Rountree: Not that I'm aware of.
Robert Miller: Ever?
Bobby Rountree: There's no current plans to expand any chapel on Oceana or Dam
Neck.
Robert Miller: As you increase the number of people at Oceana, it would seem like that's
in the realm of possibilities, that facilities on the base would have to be expanded.
Bobby Rountree: If that was the case. But the population of Oceana is going to decrease
under East Coast base. I know the Super Hornet by almost 3,000 personnel reduction.
Robert Miller: So, we're not going to have any expansion on Oceana of housing or
commissaries?
Bobby Rountree: Commissary recently completed all the installation.
Robert Miller: It's the AICUZ zone isn't it?
Bobby Rountree: It's in the high noise zone. Yes sir.
Robert Miller: It seems like we have a land owner here who has certainly some vested
rights, and it seems a little bit tough on those folks to say, "well, you got a nice church
and you're allowed to have the same number of people you have right now, but you have
to go out in our community, the quality of life, we would certainly encourage, and that is
part of the quality of life that you can't come here. You have to go somewhere else
outside the AICUZ to go to church.
Bobby Rountree: It's a tough decision. I'm glad you're making it and not me. I'm just
making a recommendation.
Robert Miller: I'm just amazed that you're making the recommendation.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other comments Mr. Rountree?
Bobby Rountree: No ma'am.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you so much for coming. Sir, would you like to come back up?
Do you have any other comments sir?
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 6
Chandler Talbert: I'd just like to say that we've been there ten years and we've never
had one complaint at all about noise. Planes do fly over there on Sunday. Actually, I
think our worship service is louder.
Dorothy Wood: Than the plane?
Chandler Talbert: Yes.
Robert Miller: Maybe you're bothering the planes.
Chandler Talbert: I understand the Navy's position.
Dorothy Wood: Certainly, they all support the Navy.
Janice Anderson: Excuse me.
Dorothy Wood: I'm sorry. Jan?
Janice Anderson: Just curious. Your congregation, is that mainly fi.om the area
surrounding your church out there on Salem Road?
Chandler Talbert: No it's not. We have people from Suffolk that come to our church. Of
course, I think the large portion is within a five-mile radius.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Chandler Talbert: I did want to state to that quite a few of our people, including myself,
are retired military. Our pastor is retired military.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any other comments? Any discussion?
Robert Miller: I'm at a loss to vote against it. I think the church has rights to be able to
use the property. I think we certainly won't incur that aspect of our quality of life in our
City. I believe the Navy would certainly endorse that and I don't imagine that Congress
of the United States or anyone else being against Freedom of Religion in the United
States of America. And, I think you all have a very nice plan. The plan looks like a very
complete plan. It has been well thought out. It looks well designed. It certainly looks
like the type of facility that I would encourage anywhere in our City including at this
location. I'm not going to take away your rights to be able to use your property. I'd
make a motion that we approve this.
Dorothy Wood: Do I hear a second? Ron?
Ronald Ripley: I'll make a second. I'd like to comment too.
Item #7
Christian Chapel Assembly of God
Page 7
Dorothy Wood: Certainly.
Ronald Ripley: In this instance, and the way I viewed this is it's a redevelopment of an
existing use. It's an expansion of a use that's been there for along time. It's not like
we're adding a new use to this area. This is a sensitive time that we're in because
obviously were trying to forge a new understanding with Oceana, and we're right in the
throws of that, and we certainly don't want to offend our folks from Oceana. In this
instance, this is an existing use. It's a slight expansion to meet a need within the
community. I think it's appropriate to approve this also.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other comments? Joe?
Joseph Strange: I agree with Ron. I would say that on a scale of 1 to 10 if you were
going to approve something that may be would object to that this would probably be a
one rather than top of scale there. So, in the interest of trying to find some type of valid
between the landowner and the Navy, I think this would be an appropriate time to tie with
the landowner.
Dorothy Wood: Perhaps it's a pebble rather than a boulder?
Joseph Strange: I think that would be a good analysis.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other comments?
Eugene Crabtree: I'm tom between the two to support the stand of the U.S. military and
Department of Defense and the church at the same time. With all of the ongoing studies
and everything that is going on in the area at the present time and not knowing what the
results of some of them are going to be in the future, I'm rather reluctant to pass this on to
City Council and have it come back to us again at a later date because of some action. I
find it difficult to approve it at this time. I'm not against the church expanding or the
parking lot but at this incurred time, I'm reluctant to approve it.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there anybody else? We had a motion by Mr. Miller and
a second by Mr. Ripley that we approve the expansion of Christian Chapel Assembly of
God.

the Planning Commission and the City Council to assist them in making a decision
regarding this application.
Location and General Information
The Planning Commission deferred this request on January 14, 2004 due to
uncertainty surrounding issues related to AICUZ. Under the Interim AICUZ
Guidelines, this application, as it was submitted prior to February 3, 2004, may be

The site is landscaped with grass, mature shrubs and trees.
From a cultural and historical perspective the church can claim that it
is the oldest Presbyterian Church in the city, having been organized
in June 1917 on this site. From this church developed the First
Presbyterian Church of Virginia Beach and Kings Grant Presbyterian
Church. The sanctuary was constructed in 1919, and the educational
wing was constructed in 1951. In 1985 an activity room, several
offices and a larger kitchen were added to the site.
The site is in an AICUZ of more than 75dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana. Churches are not considered compatible in this AICUZ. The
United States Navy has informed the Staff that they are opposed to
'this request if the overall project increases density on the site.

Summary of Pro
The submitted master plan depicts several additions proposed for the site. A new
sanctuary of 4,200 square feet, with a future expansion to 5,856 square feet, is
proposed adjacent to Lynnhaven Parkway. Once the new sanctuary is completed the
existing sancutary will be converted into a chapel. The current education wing will be
expanded, and a fellowship / multi-purpose hall will be added. A covered colonnade will
connect the fellowship / multi-purpose hall to the new sanctuary.
The proposed sanctuary is hexagonal in shape with a standing seam metal roof and
brick walls. Cream color fascia and amhitectual details provide accent to the building. A
round stained glass window provided on the eastern wall of the proposed sanctuary will
take advantage of the morning sun.
Sixty parking spaces are depicted on the plan. The applicant was granted a variance to
reduce the required number of spaces from 100 to 60 subject to the following
conditions:
1. The church shall work to prevent parkng problems by not scheduling events in
both sanctuaries simultaneously.
2. Development shall substantially adhere to the submitted site plan to include
any amendments required by the City Council.
Proposed landscape areas are depicted throughout the parking lot. Required foundation
and street frontage landscaping will be addressed during detailed site plan review.
The entire project may have to be shifted slightly westward on the site to accommodate
the setback for the ultimate right-of-way along Lynnhaven Parkway. The applicant is
aware of this requirement.

The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
· Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the area.
· Compatibility with airfield operations surrounding NAS Oceana.
· Compatibility with the surrounding uses.
Comprehensive Pla
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as the North London
Bridge / Strategic Growth Area #6, an area suitable for higher intensity of mixed uses
including offices, institutions, and hotels with limited additional retail. There is a
recognized need for a range of commercial retail activities and services to meet the
needs of all citizens. It is equally important that this be accomplished in harmony with
the concept of providing an attractive and well-maintained physical environment. This
means implementing a coordinated effort to improve the quality of building facades and
signs, increased landscaping around building foundations and 3arking lots, and
improved circulation patterns for vehicles and pedestrians.
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified at the beginning of this
report. The proposars strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are
(1). The request for a Conditional Use Permit is consistent with the recommendations of
the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed additions are of high quality and in keeping with
the office buildings in the immediate area.
LYNNHAVEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Agenda Item # 8

(2). While the United States Navy opposes any additions to the church because the site
is within the high AICUZ of greater than 75dB Ldn, staff believes that sufficient building
code requirements exist to adequately buffer the building from the overhead jet noise.
Additionally, the primary church services are held during off-peak flight times.
(3). The church has been conducting church services on this site for eighty-seven years
and has shown that it is compatible with the surrounding uses. Staff concludes that the
proposed expansion is appropriate and should ensure that the current compatibility of
the use continues into the future.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
Conditions
1. The proposed additions to the church shall be developed substantially in
accordance with the submitted conceptual mater plan titled "Lynnhaven
Presbyterian Church", prepared by the Yates Group and dated March 24, 2003.
Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on
file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning Department.
2. The proposed buildings shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the
submitted elevation plans titled "Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church", prepared by
the Yates Group and dated March 24, 2003. Said plans have been exhibited to
the City of Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the City of Virginia
Beach Planning Department.
3. The proposed building additions shall be constructed to comply with appropriate
sound attenuation measures for structures located within an AICUZ noise zone of
more than 75dB Ldn.

Lynhhaven Presbyterian Church
Conditional Use Permit
136 South Lynnhaven Road
District 6
Beach
March 10, 2004
REGULAR
Dorothy Wood: Our next application is the Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church. It's a
Conditional Use Permit for a church expansion. Welcome Mr. Garrington.
Billy Garrington: Thank you Mrs. Wood. Ladies and gentlemen of the Planning
Commission, for the record, I'm Billy Gamngton here today on behalf of the applicant
Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church, 136 South Lyrmhaven Road, to request your approval of
this Conditional Use Permit for a new sanctuary at the property located in Virg/nia
Beach. Mr. Miller, I thought those were some pretty good questions that you had to ask
about the previous application. I heard the gentlemen directly he said that the church had
been there for about 20 years, which he said is quite a long time. He's exactly right. If
20 years is a long time, how long is 100 years? That is how long this church has been in
operation at it's present location. The original sanctuary that they are still using was built
in 1919. There were services that were taking place in some existing buildings and I'm
getting this all from some of the members in the church. Obviously, I haven't been there
that long, but it has been having church services there since sometime around the early
1900's. They have a building that is no longer functional from ADA standards, ADA
specifications. So what they want to do is build a new sanctuary about 250 feet right
behind the existing sanctuary on property they have owned for sometime. The property
has been cut up several times when the interstate was built and when' Lynnhaven Parkway
was first extended, Lynnhaven Road so there have been several chunks that have taken
out of this property, but they still have the 3V2 acres left that you see on the plan in front
of you today. The plan is to build a new 300-seat sanctuary that you see located here, this
covered colonnade, and at some point in time there would be an extended utility and
activities room that would be added to it also. But again, it's an existing church. It has
been operating on that piece of property for many, many years. All were asking you to
do is to redevelop the property, build a new sanctuary that is ADA accessible, that would
have all of the building sound proofing measures that you have in the building code
requirements today. In order to muffle that noise that we know is flying overhead, and
we've known it for many, many years. The jets are not going to go away. We're not
complaining about the noise. We know that we're in the noise zone and have been for
many years. When you start talking about who was there first then you have to look at
this application because they have been there for many years before Oceana Naval Air
Station was ever even flying prop planes in and out of their air station, yet alone jets. So,
our request is to expand an existing facility. This isn't new development. This isn't
some farm field down in the Transition Area that were converting into houses, we are
building a new sanctuary to hopefully expand the operation that's going on at the church

now. Staffhas recommended it for approval with the conditions that you see in your staff
write up. We are in total agreement with those conditions, and we ask for your approval
of this Conditional Use Permit today.
Dorothy Wood: Billy, this won't bring in more people, will it, because you won't be
using your other site? It's the same number of people. They're just going to a more
compatible building.
Billy Garrington: It's a slightly bigger sanctuary that we would be building now, as
opposed to the one that is presently in use.
Dorothy Wood: Sure, but that doesn't mean there's going to be more people.
Billy Garfington:. The two sanctuaries will not be used at the same time. That won't
happen. I would like to see them tear the old sanctuary down, but because of sentimental
reasons and all of the old stained glass and all that, they're going to have to sit there and
maintain it even though it's never going to be used, but it will be converted to a chapel.
It will be used for ceremonial things, and the two of them will not be used at the same
time. You will have a very slight increase in the number of people that you would have
coming.
Dorothy Wood: You really wouldn't have enough room on that property to add any of
the uses that were compatible.
Billy Garrington: We have never had a dayCare center, never intend on having a daycare
center. No weekly activities and things of that nature so I don't see how it would not be
compatible. Your staff has recommended it for approval, and that's the one people that
take a look at it. Without the emotions in it, see if it's compatible with the Use Permit.
I've looked at the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and they have said it is approved
and we recommend it for approval. Here are the conditions and we're in agreement with
them.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Billy. Would you please answer questions for members of the
Commission?
Billy Garfington: Yes ma'am. Yes sir, Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: I understand that when you build a new sanctuary and all that you're
going to put in things for acoustics and noise attenuation and things like that as it is, and
contrary to the pre-existing one that we just had, planes do not fly directly over your
property do they or very seldom fly in and around and adjacent but to go directly
overhead is not inline with any runways that I know of.
Billy Gamngton: Well, we're not inline with the nmways but we are mighty dose to
Oceana Naval Air Station.
Item #8
Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church
Page 3
Eugene Crabtree: I know you are but direct flights over?
Billy Garrington: As flying directly over, I don't think so. Not that I've ever noticed.
Eugene Crabtree: I have no knowledge of any planes really going directly over there to
the sides and around it but not directly over the property.
Billy Garrington: That's correct. You see them circling over, you hear them circling
over.
Eugene Crabtree: But not?
Billy Gardngton: No sir. We've been hearing them for many years.
Eugene Cmbtree: Okay.
Billy Garrington: Sounds good to us.
Eugene Crabtree: Yeah. I understand that.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks. Are there any other questions? Mr. Din?
William Din: What kind of sound attenuation do you anticipate building?
Billy Garrington: That would be up to the architect that designs the building. But, I'm
sure you will be talking about additional insulation packages, have your insulated
windows and things of that nature, something to try and muffle the sound. I'm sure that
under detailed building planning review that would have to be submitted to Permits and
Inspections when we submit for our building permit for the building itself.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other questions of Mr. Garrington?
Billy Gamngton: Thank you very much.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there any opposition? Hearing none. Do we have
discussion? Mr. Miller?
Robert Miller: Bobby, how come you're not up here? Could you come up this time for
just a second please? Can I call him up? Can I do that Bill? I guess I can. You were up
at the last church why wouldn't you be up at this church? This is even closer.
Bobby Rountree: Different location.
Robert Miller: Okay. Now, you got my curiosity up? What's the difference in the
Navy's perspective?
Item #8
Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church
Page 4
Bobby Rountree: Different location, the previous church is located under the main
thoroughfare of Oceana's main runway. The majority of operations occur on Runway 5.
The Transition Area, western edge is what leads into that runway. It's also the main
interfacility track between Oceana and Fentress. Again, F. Donald Reid, VA-CAR and I
can list all the others that will be coming and you will see us here in the near future.
That's the interest with the Western edge of the Transition area. Impacts of low high
noise single events in high numbers. Now this site, it is pretty close to a flight track. It's
the overhead arrival track of Runway 5. As the airplanes come into Oceana on Runway
5, they execute the overhead brake maneuver, 180 degree mm, they mm towards
Lynnhaven Parkway and they basically head down and fly in the near vicinity of
Lynnhaven Mall. To get there, they're going to fly almost down Lynnhaven Parkway, a
little to the west. It's normal landing pattern. So, there would be some noise impacts on
this site.
Robert Miller: Didn't we get a letter from you recommending that we not approve this?
Bobby Rountree: Yes you did.
Robert Miller: Now you're saying that you don't really care?
Bobby Rountree: I'm saying you pick the battles and this isn't a battle that we needed to
fight. Well, make the letter and you all make the decision.
Dorothy Wood: Introduce yourself.
Bobby Rountree: For the record, Bobby Rountree from NAS Oceana.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Robert Miller: Sorry, I caused that part. And, the idea that you're going to be much
more vocal about certain locations, that is, ifI heard you, is between the runway
alignments of Fentress and Oceana? Is that generally what you're saying?
Bobby Rountree: That is one of the areas. Anything that is close. That is just one main
concentration of flight tracks. That's the interest in the Transition area. There are a lot of
flight tracks over that part of the City and trying to protect those future residents or
congregations is trying to help protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents as
well as the military members.
Robert Miller: Okay. So, it's your job to protect to health, safety and welfare of people
too?
Bobby Rountree: No, I think it's the job of the City Council.
Item #8
Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church

Ronald Ripley: Let me ask a question about this particular application. From what I
understand the redevelopment of this property is to really accommodate the existing
congregation. It's not a major expansion. It doesn't appear to be. I'm sure any church
would like to see more people in their churches because it just makes their business mn
easier.
Bobby Rountree: Absolutely.
Ronald Ripley: But in this situation, if that is the case, would that generally be something
that would be objectionable to you? Lets say we were down in and once again we're
talking back to over near Runway 5, and your flight patterns over the. I'm doing this to
try to get an understanding. I realize it's a hypothetical question but would that be a more
appropriate redevelopment, in your mind, if it were an expansion that was just to
accommodate the existing?
Bobby Rountree: Again, I think the earlier proposal had the classroom and the school
nursery were the things that caught our attention when you look through the AICUZ
guidelines. I know that staff has copies of that and you can see that those are all non-
compatible uses in the high noise zone. This proposal didn't have any of that even
though you strictly say it's a church. If you look at the chart it says not compatible. And,
we are here to support the United States Navy and that is United States Navy instruction.
That is not an Oceana instruction. It's not a reg/onal instruction. It's United States Navy,
so I think you understand that? But, the local commander has the option to determine for
a lack of better terms which battle does he want to fight and stand here at the podium in
this particular instance, Lynnhaven wasn't one.
Ronald Ripley: Yesterday, I heard about the number of accidents that occurred. I think it
was ten years ago. I probably have this all messed up. There was a time in the past,
approximately 10 years, and I think that is what it said, that they had about 700 plane
accidents then. Now, last year, we're looking at 17 because of the technology, better
equipment, better training that you have. I'm trying to get a handle on really the risk. I
realize anything can happen and things will go wrong and will definitely go wrong. But,
we're all trying to get our hands around this issue. You're closer to it then we are. Is that
the information that you're familiar with?
Bobby Rountree: Yes sir. If you ever have the opportunity to go to the Navy Safety
Center out in Monterey, California, they will educate you on those statistics. I don't
remember the exact time frame that number, but I remember very vividly sitting in that
classroom hearing that there was a time, post World War II, I believe, when the Navy
was losing about 2 airplanes a day, in the 700 plus range. And again now, for all the
reasons you say that it's a lot safer environment the numbers have come way down for
the reasons you just stated.

Eugene Crabtree: Bobby? In the letter that Captain Keeley sent concerning this piece of
property, he did recommend in there that any redevelopment should be a similar design
and same density. I think that the church has indicated that is going to be the case.
Bobby Rountree: Absolutely.
Eugene Crabtree: So, it's just asking us to reevaluate the proposal and keep the design
and density similar to what it is today in order for it to be compatible with the
Department of Defense's feeling. I think that the gentleman who spoke indicated that to
be the case.
Bobby Rountree: Yes sir.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Rountree: We appreciate your coming up. Mr.
Garrington, do you have anything else to add sir?
Billy Garrington: No, thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there any more discussion? Do I hear a motion?
Robert Miller: I'll make a motion to approve it.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Miller made the motion to approve.
Robert Miller: I might as well be the one. At least they'll have a target to shoot at.
Dorothy Wood: Do I hear a second?
Joseph Strange: I'll second it.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Strange has second it. The vote is open. Thank you Mr.
Garrington.

Virginia Beach Circuit Court
Bessie Durkowski v. City of Virginia Beach - negligence
In March 2003, Bessie Durkowski re-filed this suit seeking $250,000 for injuries resniting
from tripping and falling on a sidewalk in March 2001. The incident, which resulted in injury to her
let~ wrist, and other bruises, occurred along Mill Dam Road near the Great Neck Road intersection.
On February 12, 2004, after a day and a halfttial, the jury returned its verdict in favor of the
City.
Laura Barkey v. City of lftrginia Beach and S. B. Ballard, Inc. - negligence
This suit for $150,000 was served in March 2003, and alle~g~ed_ perso,~na}~ injuries resulted from
a March 26, 2000, bicycle accident on the Boardwalk, between 16 and 17 Streets. Laura Barkey
claimed the City and Ballard, the beach, front improvement contractor, were negligent and grossly
negligent in maintaining the condition of the Boardwalk.
Barkey has non-suited the case. By statute, it may be re-filed within six months.
Virginia Beach General District Court
Lester T. Palmer v. City of Virginia Beach Risk Management Division - negligence.
Lester PaLmer, without an attorney, filed this suit asking for $4500 in damages for personal
injuries apparently claimed to have resulted from debris thrown from a City lawnmower at Princess
Anne Park. The accident is alleged to have happened on July 23, 2002.
On February 6, 2004, the court granted our motion to quash service and dismissed the suit
as filed, against Risk Management.
CIVIL LAWSUITS RESOLVED DURING THE MONTH
OF MARCH 2004
Virginia Supreme Court
City of Virginia Beach v. 18 Southwest, Inc., dba Envy Bar and Grill, and John Leonard
Lewis - challenge to municipal authority.
In July 2003 we filed for an injunction to enfome the City's noise ordinance at the Envy Bar,
a resort area nightspot located at 1718 Atlantic Avenue. After taking evidence, the court granted a
preliminary injunction, which specifically directed that the bar's windows and doors be kept closed
after 10 PM as suggested by the police officem involved, and ordered the operators of the
establishment to comply with the noise ordinance. Subsequently, with agreement of the parties and
without further evidence, the court entered an order making the injunction permanent.
Envy appealed the decision of the circuit court granting the permanent injunction to the
Virginia Supreme Court. On March 9, 2004, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal.
Virginia Beach Circuit Court
City of Virginia Beach v. Pappas - condemnation.
This eminent domain suit, to determine the value of one of the Shore Winds Condominium
units being acquired for the Pavilion expansion project, was tried on March 2, 2004. After hearing
the evidence and arguments, the panel of five commissioners awarded the owners $55,000 as
compensation for the taking of this property.
City of Virginia Beach v. Estate of Pauline Belcher - condemnation.
This case involves the June 2000 acquisition by condemnation of a 48-foot-wide strip of
right-of-way and construction, utility, and drainage easements fi.om a 24 acre unimproved parcel
along Oceana Boulevard, south of Harpers Road. After a three-day trial in March 2001, the court
awarded, in addition to the agreed-upon value of the property actually taken, $120,000 for
damages to the remaining property. We appealed the damages award, and the Virginia Supreme
Court reversed the trial court, and remanded the case for a new trial on the question of damages
to the remaining property.
At trial March 18, the landowner was prepared to offer evidence of $136,000 in damages
to the remaining property. However, after a view of the property and an informal conference with
the court, the landowner agreed to accept $27,500 to resolve the case.
Margaret ,4. Pastore v. City of Virginia Beach - negligence.
In January 2003 the City was served with this suit for $100,000 for personal injuries
alleged to have resulted from an April 2000 fall on the Boardwalk near the 18th Street Cafe and
Grill restaurant. On March 12, 2004, the court, on our motion, found the City immune from
liability and dismissed the suit.
Kenneth Timmons v. Virginia Beach Police Department - negligence.
Kenneth Timmons filed this Bill of Complaint for the return of a brand new 2004 Lincoln
Navigator SUV impounded by City police officers following a routine traffic stop. The vehicle
had been stolen from a dealer's lot in Georgia. At a hearing March 12, 2004, the court dismissed
the suit, as the vehicle had been returned to Georgia..
Prince Coleman v. City of Virginia Beach and Theresa Moy - negligence.
Evelyn Coleman v. Theresa Moy and City of Virginia Beach
In March 2003 Prince and Evelyn Coleman each sued the City and Volunteer Rescue Squad
member Theresa Moy for $I 5,000 for the injuries received in a collision involving their
automobile and a Rescue Squad ambulance driven by Moy. The accident occurred in Februaxy
2002, in the 600 block of Kempsville Road. After depositions of the parties and review of
medical records, we have settled these cases for a total of $13,300.
Commonwealth v. Linda K. Johnson - animal cruelty.
This appeal of the February 5, 2004 general district court determination that Linda Johnson
failed to provide adequate care for 96 cats in her home was tried on March 25, 2004. The circuit
court, after hearing all of the evidence and argument in a new trial, reached the same conclusion and
ordered that the cats remain in the custody of the City's Animal Control Bureau for disposition. As
required by statute, the court also ordered Johnson to reimburse the City for the cost of holding the
cats during the course of this legal action. That amount has not yet been determined, and will be the
subject of a future hearing.
This case arose out of the execution of a search warrant by City Animal Control and police
officers at the Johnson residence in January. Animal Control obtained the search warrant based upon
information provided by a woman who had visited the Johnson residence to adopt a cat. This legal
proceeding for the transfer of the animals to Animal Control, a civil action under the state code, was
prosecuted by the Commonwealth's Attorney in general district court. At the request of the
Commonwealth's Attorney, we prosecuted the case on appeal.
There is still pending a separate criminal misdemeanor charge against Linda Johnson for
failure to care for the cats, which the Commonwealth's Attorney is prosecuting.
