I /' "" ITEM #930,1 The City Clerk read the following letter from t})C City Manager: The Honorable Mayor I !>1embers of the Council Gentlemen: As Council is aware, for several years we have been involved in attempting to acquire a permanent spoil area in the Lynnhaven for biennial maintenance dredging by the Corps of Engineers. A permanent spoil site would not only facilitate the biennial dredging project, but 'vJOuld also give us a continuous source of material to be trucJ;: hauled to the Oceanfront.. In 1974, the General Assembly granted Virgirda Beach the State I s claim to ov;rnership of a peninsula on the south side of the Lessner Bridge. It was our hope at that time that the anSvler to our spoil area problerns had been resolved, ho',.¡ever, mvnership of this peninsula was contested. I The Circuit Court has ruled in favor of property owners contestL-.g the Sta.te I s claim, and we have made negotiations with the property ovmers that \le WQuld noi: encourage the Attorney General to pursue an appeal to the. Supreme Court if the property owners would allow that site to be used as a spoil site for the next two dredging periods, or four years, as well as for material to be truck hauled to the beach front. Since time is of the essence for D1e Corps of Engineers and their dredging schedule for the Iynnhaven, we must proceed immediately wit.h the acquisition of ë;( spoil site somewhere in the Lynnhaven. This settlement" I believe, is in the best interest of the citizens of the City and gives us four years to find a pennanent site in the Lynnhaven. Council should be aware, however, that the permanent site will possibly have t.O be condemned. 'rherefore, it is recomrnended that City Council authorize me to sign an agreement with Mr. þ.~din Woodward, President of Lynnhaven Marina, Inc., the property owners of the peninsula.

PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE VIRGINIA BEACH TOMORROW PROGRAM 1. \.Jha t's Been Done The Virginia Beach Tomorrow Program \^las initiated by the City Council of 1- Virginia ßeach to establish goals and formulate policies on the future of the City. Guided by the Brookings Institution~ citizens and members of the Coun- cil worked together on this project for about a year. As a result of this effort, a variety cf social and growth policies were identified. These policies then led to the creation of the five scenarios ~- which represent five alternative futures which this group of citizens prefer for their Virginia Beach Tomorrow. They have been defined as follows: Yir_gjniaJ3eJ!:_çJ~_I: Expansion and enhancement of the unique natural qualities of the City of Virgin-j¿l Beach. Emphasis on the recreational resources and oriented to tourism. An economic base which does not harm the environmental quality of Vi rg"ini a Beach. Nature resource management to prevent destruction of the ecological system. Effective land-use planning. PI tourist-based future for the City of Virginia Beach. I VirJLint~J5).ach II: Expans"¡on and extension of present Virginia Beach indus tri es into the future. Ernphas is on touri sm, manu- facturing, agribusiness, military, construction, and commercial activities in present diversified design in order to broaden tha City of Virginia Beach taxation base. The present Virginia Beach pröjected into the future. A diversified future for Virginia Beach. VirSLini?_~~il_~li: A. diversHied economic gro1¡¡th and social development. A multifaceted~ multigoaled future for the City of Virginia Beach. Utili~ation of all available sources of economic growth in order to generate the revenues to provide a high quality of service to the citizens of Virginia Beach. ViQLinia Beach IV: Slow population growth rate. Optimum utilization of the land. Accent on agriculture and support- ing agribusiness. Strict land management program. Capital intensive. Agriculture as the major source for growth and development of Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach V: A future founded on a high technology base. Networks of computers and computer systems. Capital intensive and high wage industry. Communication technology replaces transportation technology. Substantial investments in higher I education~ graduate schools. research institutes~ laboratories~ and libraries. Planned population gro\'ith. Great variety of employment. Enhanced qua1ìty of life in a high technologically oriented society. Science and technolo9Y \'Jill provide the eco- nomic base for the future. In addition~ as presented below, each of the future Virginia Beaches is ae- I camp an; ed by a system ar a c 1 us ter of saci a 1 and grOl,th pa] i ci es "hi ch ref] ec t the opinions of the program participants and the respondents to the Delph'¡ survey. It should be noted that these policies are frequently not in harmony and that no single policy reflects the vie\~ of a majority of the program participants. I Growth Policies 1. Reduce population grol'Jth by 1% per annum by 1990 with population not to exceed, for the City, 300~OOO by 1999. 2. Expand and diversify the tax base to provide services and facili- ties to the citizens. 3. Expand and diversify present Virg'inia Beach industdes) tour'ism, agri busi ness, manufacturi ng, constructi on, mil itary, comrnet'ce, to reduce undue burden of taxes on any segment of our population. 4. 5. Industrialization with emphasis on higher technology. Development of touri s t industi'Y I'li th eliiphas ì s on off-season gro\'Jth. 6. Increase recreation and park facilities in order to make the City a recreation capital of the south. 7. Preserve present physical land resources south of Princess Anne Courthouse. ß. Manage grm'lth by identifying the physical characteristics of the land and by specifying uses appropriate to the land. 9. Balance and manage groitlth to pe}~mit a high quality life in all aspects which can only be achieved through joint participation of the citizens and all public officials. Social Policies I 1. 2. A,responsible and informed citizen participation in government. For Virginia Beach to become a cultural center and have the facilities to accommodate all areas of the arts and humanities and all other cultural needs of the City. Social Policies (continued) 3. To establish a human service system responding to citizens' needs for health, preventive medicine, and social and mental health needs. 4. To provide the optimum opportunity for use of leisure time through careful development in preservation of natural resources. I 5. Development of recreational and arts programs for all ages within neighborhood centers. ^' more effective educational system based on total community involvement. 6. 7. Comprehensive coordinated program for caring for the low income and elderly, considering the concepts of proper housing, educa- tion, health and employment. 8. Achievement of a maximum state of security and safety. These policies at'e bélsed on a ranking by program participants of IIcontinuous critical problemsll of the City of Virginia Beach. It is important to note that the rankings of critical problems was significantly different upon the completion of the one year program than at the beginning of the program (see appendix). II. What Remains tQ~þe Done and Expected ~~~efit~ I A great dea 1 of >10 rk ha s been regu ì red to properly defi ne the fì vo fu ture Virginia Beach scenarios. But the essential mission of the Virginia Beach Tomorrow group hås not yet been completed. The scenarios offer choices which are not fully compatible. What remains to be done is to select that future) or combination of futures, which is judged most amenable to the needs and as- pirations of the citizenry~ and which represent a compatible set of priorities. This requires that the 17 policies be carefully examined and compared to de- termine the one best future course. To accomplish this, the following steps must be taken: (1) Specific objectives or priorities have been identified and selected for consideration; (2) alternatives must be identified which are neces- sary for achieving these objectives; (3) positive and negative consequences asso- ciated with each alternative must be estimated; ~4) costs and benefits calculated, I and finally (5) a set of consistent policies and objectives will be selected. It is believed that the benefits of completing this goal-setting program "Ii 11 be many. Some of the more prominent ones are: (1) Administration as it I relates to various problem areas is guaranteed to be more effective because having stated the goals, a plan for their accomplishment can be completed; (2) by stating ,goals in writing, citizens, administrators, and employees knm'¡ the priorities and have a stronger commitment; (3) a system of goals and objectives forces everyone to think in terms of end results and provides the basis for long-range planning; (4) if we know what needs to be done, we can better allo- cate the use of resources -- time, money, labor; (5) goal setting will be incor- porated in the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan, ~¡hich is now being designed. III. Recommei~qed ConcludiQ2 Progr~m The Virginia Beach Tomorrow Program recommends one final planning session lasting two days to complete its activities. This should occur in September, 1976. The format will approximate the American Assembly method which evidences I a record of proven 5 ucce55 e S ",herever it has been tri cd. The Old Domi ni on Un i- versity Center for Urban and Regional Research v;;l1 be retained to assume the respons i bi 1 Hy for the ove¡~a 11 di recti on of the program. In this context, the Center for Urban and Regional Research will act as a liaison with state, local and regional agencies to prepare background materials, organize sessions, over- see logistics, produce drafts, and write the final report. Four sessions of meetingswill be held beginning Friday noon and running through Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. A drafting l ~ ¡ f ¡ i ! , f ¡ committee wi 11 p}~oduce a final report by Sunday afternoon. With; n Ü¡O days I time the Virginia Beach Tomorrow group will have arrived at a concensus in the form of a cohesive statement of goals and str9tegies to be presented to the Ci ty Council. . . Upon the completion of the flnal report, the City Council will I determine how specific goals and objectives will be implemented in the community. Expected costs: I Accommodations for 75 participants and support personnel.

It is felt that the concept developed in this report offers the means through which a truly unique recreation park can be developed. It can be the instrument employed to preserve this area solely for the use of the general public. We sincerely trust that this study will be of use to you and the City Council in any future deliberations concerning this matter. Respectfully submitted, A / /1/ 6J J:;t;ú1ú~ . I I I ,.,...,......" -P'-' -.. Mr. Detterman introduced Mr. Conrad H. Reid, Chairman of the Fort Story Study Committee. Mr. Reid stated that at the request of City Council, the Virginia Beach Development Council has prepared a Land Use Study and proposed Master Plan of the 1,451 acres encompassed by Fort Story. (A copy of the report is on file in the office of the City Clerk). The purpose of this study was to provide the City of Virginia Beach with a complete plan for the development of this acreage as a Recreation Park. Mr. Reid informed Council that the Recreation Park would be set up wi th several recreational areas, among them are: Beach and water sports: Swimming - two areas of the beachfront in the Park are particularly suited for swimming, one on the ocean side and one on the bay side. Surfing - there will be a selected area of the beachfront of the Park reserved for the exclusive use of surfers. There is a definite need for such, as a waterfront from the Park to Rudee Inlet is becoming more restrictive during the peak tourist months. Surfboard and equipment rentals - the rental of water sport and beach equip- ment is a vital part of a park that is primarily beach oriented. Items to be rented could be surf-boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas, etc. Swimming pools - there should be two pools of Olympic size constructed which would be suitable for competitive water sports as well as recreational use. One should be fresh water and the other salt water. Bait and tackle shop - this facility in close proximity to the surf fishing area would provide tackle rental and sales as well as bait and other needs of the fishermen. Sailboat rentals - very small sailboats would be made available to the public (Sunfish and Moth which are one-man crafts which will accomodate two persons). Mr. Reid stated that other activities would include camping and group activities, hobby activity center, meeting rooms, amphitheatre, place for picnics throughout the park. Council requested the City Attorney to prepare a resolution of appreciation to be presented to the Virginia Beach Development Council for the excellent work they have performed on this study. ITEM #9816 Mayor Payne stated that Councilmen Robert H. Callis, Jr., and Charles W. Gardner would be leaving Council today. Mayor Payne expressed his appreciation to the Councilmen for their dedi~ation in their jobs, and invited the Councilmen to return July 1, 1976 to receive a Resolution of Appreciation. .,-- "'--- -... --, : ~.
