and $28,000, respectively.
This section further provides that "[n]o increase in salary of a member of the council shall
take effect until July 1 after the next regularly scheduled general election of council

which specified funding for this Project. VDOT will release the funding available through the
CMAQ program after City Council adopts an ordinance authorizing the acquisition of the
property and easements needed for the Project.
■ Public Information: A Public Information Meeting was held on March 16, 2005. This
acquisition ordinance was advertised with the Council's agenda. The affected property owner's
comments and concerns were solicited and have been incorporated into the Project's design.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution to Approve the Major Design for Indian River Road Phase VII (CIP
2-256).
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background: The project is a First Cities (Urban Construction Initiative) project.
The purpose of this project is to design and construct a newly aligned four -lane divided
roadway from Lynnhaven Parkway to Elbow Road. The recommended alignment from
the Corridor Study was adopted by City Council (March 2000) and the Commonwealth
Transportation Board.
■ Considerations: Funding for right-of-way acquisition is allocated for summer 2005,
and a resolution must be approved by City Council for the major design features so that
Federal funds for acquisition may be allocated.
■ Public Information: A Design Public Hearing was held on January 13, 2005, to
update citizens on the traffic and environmental studies and to receive comments on the
major design features of the roadway. There were approximately 152 citizens in
attendance. A total of 15 written and oral comments were received. Of those who
responded, a majority were in favor of the project.
A variety of concerns were expressed. The concern most mentioned was the increased
traffic and 45 mph speed limits adjacent to neighborhoods. The proposed roadway is in
accordance with the Master Transportation Plan, and addresses the traffic problems
and safety issues of the existing roadway and the surrounding developments by
constructing a new four -lane divided roadway on an established corridor which includes
multi -use paths for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. The use of soundwalls and
berms have been incorporated to address the issue of increased noise from the traffic.
The landscaping buffer area has been increased between the curb and right-of-way by
using a narrower pavement section with 11 foot lanes. Specific areas of concern will be
reviewed for traffic and pedestrian safety, and revised if warranted. The 45 mph speed
limit is appropriate for the four -lane major arterial.
■ Alternatives: If the resolution is denied, the right-of-way acquisition phase of the
project will not begin and the project will be delayed.
■ Recommendations: Approve the major design features.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution to Approve the Major Design Features for Elbow Road Extended,
Phase II (CIP 2-152).
MEETING DATE: Auqust 23, 2005
■ Background: The project is a First Cities (Urban Construction Initiative) project.
The purpose of this project is to design and construct a newly aligned four -lane divided
roadway from Indian River Road to Dam Neck Road. The existing bridge west of Salem
Road crossing the North Landing River will be replaced by a 1,200 foot bridge spanning
the entire floodplain. The recommended alignment from the Corridor Study was
adopted by City Council (March 2000) and the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
■ Considerations: Funding for right-of-way acquisition is allocated for summer 2005,
and a resolution must be approved by City Council for the major design features.
■ Public Information: A Design Public Hearing was held on January 13, 2005, to
update citizens on the traffic and environmental studies and to receive comments on the
major design features of the roadway. There were approximately 152 citizens in
attendance. A total of 33 written and oral comments were received. Of those who
responded, a majority were in favor of the project.
A variety of concerns were expressed. The concern most mentioned was regarding the
noise barriers, particularly the finish on the back (homeowner side) of the barriers.
Since the project has federal funds, a noise analysis was performed as a requirement
by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The potential noise barrier locations
and heights are determined by the results of this analysis. The impacted property
owners will select by a majority. vote the pattern to be used on the back side. In
addition, the noise barrier will be located along the edge of the right-of-way, so a
homeowner will be able to plant landscaping, if desired, on the homeowner's side to
mitigate the view.
■ Alternatives: If the resolution is denied, the right-of-way acquisition phase of the
project will not begin and the project will be delayed.
■ Recommendations: Approve the major design features.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $200,000 from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to the Fire Department's FY 2005-06 Operating Budget for
a Deployment Related to Hurricane Dennis.
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background: The City of Virginia Beach is the sponsoring agency for Virginia Task
Force 2, Urban Search and Rescue Team ("VA-TF2"). The Fire Department serves
as the administrator of VA-TF2. VA-TF2 was activated and deployed on July 10,
2005, to provide search and rescue support in the wake of Hurricane Dennis. The
team was en route to Florida when they were demobilized and returned home in the
early hours of July 11, 2005. Damage assessments indicated support of this
magnitude would not be required. Upon any activation and deployment, even if it is
cancelled, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, ("FEMA") provides funding
to reimburse participants for equipment, supplies and overtime to support the event.
■ Considerations: As the sponsoring agency, the City of Virginia Beach is
responsible for administrative and fiscal management of the team and its assets.
Consistent with previous deployments, FEMA had authorized the reimbursement of
all eligible expenses related to activation, mobilization, deployment and
demobilization of the Team. The costs associated with this deployment were
$200,000.
■ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal process.
■ Alternatives: The City's designation as Sponsoring Agency for FEMA VA-TF2 is a
pre -arranged relationship and obligation between the City of Virginia Beach and
FEMA.
■ Recommendations: Accept and appropriate $200,000 to cover expenses of VA-
TF2 for Hurricane Dennis deployment.
■ Attachments: Ordinance
FEMA Assistance Award Documents (3)
Recommended Action: Approve and appropriate $200,000.

Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision for Sallie Marie Kees. Property is located at
1421 Maharis Road (GPIN 14790120430000). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE
■ Considerations:
The existing lot is 2.58 acres and has 137 feet of frontage along Maharis Road.
It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide the R-40 property into two (2) parcels,
Lot A with 1.14 acres and Lot B with 1.55 acres. The existing single family
dwelling on Lot B will remain. It is the intent of the applicant to offer Lot A for
sale.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
felt that this request is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. This R-
40 zoned parcel is an unusual size, depth and shape. Both proposed lots, while
not meeting the lot width standard of 125 feet, will exceed the minimum lot size of
40,000 square feet for parcels in the R-40 district - Lot A will have 43,748 square
feet and Lot B will have 69,673 square feet; affording each lot ample area for
dwellings and accessory structures. A review of the zoning history of this area
revealed that a subdivision variance was granted in the 1970s for a parcel in the
vicinity of this site with similar characteristics. It should be noted, however, a
request was denied in this neighborhood in1995, as that proposed parcel would
have been deficient in both lot area and lot width. These proposed lots will be
configured similarly to other existing irregularly shaped lots abutting Lake Smith.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following condition:
The subdivision of the property and the final subdivision plat shall
substantially adhere to the submitted plan entitled "Exhibit Plat of Property
of J.H. Briton and Mildred Jewart for Marie Kees," prepared by Dennis J.
Gerwitz, P.C., dated April 6, 2005. Said plan has been exhibited to the

C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably
practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the
ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions
and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by
SALL
the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-
inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.

1421 Maharis Road
District 4

July 13, 2005
CONSENT
William Din: The next item I have is Item #9 Sallie Marie Kees. This is an Appeal to
Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision
Ordinance for Sallie Marie Kees. This property is located on 1421 Maharis Road in the
Bayside District. Welcome sir.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you. Mr. Vice Chair, for the record, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia
Beach attorney and I have the pleasure of representing Ms. Kees, who is here today. We
appreciate being placed on the consent agenda. I did want to point out, and I will hang on
to these for City Council, we have petitions of support from the adjoining neighbors, and
the civic league. Thank you placing this on the consent agenda.
William Din: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to placing this on
consent? If not, Mr. Knight, again, please?
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Din. This is, of course agenda Item #9 Sallie Marie Kees.
This is a subdivision variance that they're asking for to Section 4.4. The Subdivision
Ordinance requires all newly created lots to meet all the requirements. Well, th;;y do
meet the acreage requirements, they just don't meet the frontage requirements. The
existing lot is over 21/z-acres, and has 137 feet on Maharis Road. One lot is going to be
1.14 acres, and one lot is going to be a little over an acre and a half. One house sits in the
very back of the property, and they want to put one house -in the front of the property. It
is certainly in keeping with the character of this particular neighborhood, and they do
have the support of most of the neighbors around there. We thought it was a good
candidate to be put on the consent agenda as property land use. So, we recommend
approval.
William Din: Thank you Barry. I would like to make a motion to approve the following
consent agenda item, Item #9 Sallie Marie Kees. This is an Appeal to certain elements of
the subdivision ordinance. The property is located at 1421 Maharis Road in the Bayside
District with one condition.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Do I hear a second? Mr. Knight. We have a motion by Mr.
Din and a second by Mr. Knight.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Alltel Communications, Inc. — Conditional Use Permit (communication
tower)
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Alltel Communications, Inc. for a Conditional
Use Permit for a communication tower on property located at 1033 Little Neck
Road (GPIN 14887486900000). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN
■ Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a 120-
foot tall monopole communications tower with concealed antennas on a 35' x 35'
lease parcel on the southwest side of the Lynnhaven United Methodist Church
auxiliary parking lot. The diameter of the tower is 24". This is a co -location
facility and will accommodate a total of two wireless service providers.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. The stealth design of the tower is consistent with
the direction provided to staff in 2001 after a study of communication towers in
the city. Council directed that towers in residential areas be 'stealth' in design
rather than the traditional tower with antenna arrays. This proposal is consistent
with that direction.
The applicant has also met the criteria for tower location contained in section 232
of the zoning ordinance. The applicant has submitted documentation and
propagation maps that show that there is a need for this new tower to provide
reliable wireless service to the surrounding community. In 2003, two new
communication towers were approved by City Council and installed at the Little
Neck Swim and Racquet Club, southeast of this site. With the approval of these
two towers, it was acknowledged that they would support the majority, but not all,
of the wireless providers operating within the City. This proposed tower has
been located in close proximity to the two new communication towers installed at
the Little Neck Swim and Racquet Club, southeast of this site. The tower will
accommodate one additional wireless provider. The applicant has provided a
visual impact study that shows that the new tower will not heavily impact the
views from the property because of the surrounding tree cover. The applicant
met with several civic leagues in the area to discuss this proposal in detail and
used their input in the design. The applicant has submitted the necessary
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 2of3
technical specifications for the tower structure and radio frequency emissions.
Based on these factors, staff feels that this tower is compatible with the
surrounding residential areas and that the enhancement to wireless services will
be a benefit for the community.
There was opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The tower shall be limited in height to 120 feet.
2. The tower shall be constructed substantially in adherence to the site plan
entitled "Alltel, North Little Neck Site" dated March 18, 2005 and prepared by
Timmons Group. This site plan has been exhibited to City Council and is on
file with the Department of Planning.
3. The tower shall be constructed to accommodate equipment for at least one
additional wireless provider.
4. The proposed communication antennae must be mounted "inside light pole"
as depicted on the submitted plans.
5. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of
Communications and Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency
emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a qualified engineer licensed to
practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended user(s)
will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications
facilities, shall be provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all
subsequent users.
6. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
arises from the users of this tower, the user(s) shall take all measures
reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall
immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
7. Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year,
the applicant shall remove the antennae and their supporting tower and
related equipment.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within the Primary Residential Area. Land use
planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and
protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located
in this area.
Recognizing the need for this service throughout the City, a comprehensive study of communications
towers was conducted by staff in 2001. The goal with this issue has always been to facilitate the
development of the best possible telecommunications system for our residents and businesses without
compromising community aesthetics and character. The study contends that towers less than 120 feet in
height can be considered adjacent to residential neighborhoods if they are of a low impact design.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions listed below. The recommended conditions are provided below.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. The
stealth design of the tower is consistent with the direction provided to staff in 2001 after a study of

Conditional Use Permit

July 13, 2005
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next application is Item #17 Alltel Communications, Inc. An
Ordinance upon Application of Alltel Communications, Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit
for a communication tower on property located at 1033 Little Neck Road, District 5,
Lynnhaven with seven conditions.
Dorothy Wood: Is there anyone here representing Alltel?
Dick Gibson: Madame Chair, members of the Commission. My name is Dick Gibson.
I'm the attorney representing Alltel. Thank you for hearing our application this
afternoon. Alltel is one of two wireless providers that does not have antennas on Little
Neck at the present time. The City Council approved, with your recommendation two
towers at the swim and racquet club, which accommodate for a couple of wireless
carriers. So, we're essentially here to be able to provide an improved wireless service to
the residents of Little Neck. The problem is now that we just can't provide coverage
from the other sites that we have in the area. There is no tall structure so we need to
propose a tall structure for those antennas. We are, obviously very aware of the
sensitivity of the area. It's a lovely area. Fortunately, it is a heavily wooded area so that
helps to be able to conceal what we are proposing to you this afternoon. We are
proposing a 120 foot gray slick stick. A "slick stick" is a monopole that has the antennas
concealed inside. It is similar to what's been erected at the racquet club. We are
proposing it right next to the Lynnhaven United Methodist Church parking lot in a
heavily wooded area. There are photo simulations.
Dorothy Wood: We saw those this morning sir.
Dick Gibson: Okay. But essentially the facility will not be visible. We're going to add
to the screening. We're going to plant some Leyland Cypress on a berm that is right at
the entrance to the parking lot so people coming out of Harris Road, that's photo
simulation number one, you can see the pole through the trees. We're going to put
Leyland Cypress up in front of that so they will eventually obscure the view from that
angle. It will be very tastefully done. There will be a brick facade and a pitched roof on
the equipment building, which will also be landscaped. And of course, the facility will
not be lit. It will be visited a couple of times a month by the technical people just to make
sure that the equipment is working properly. It is a multiple carrier facility. It will
accommodate Alltel's antennas and Sprint's antennas as well. We also had visual impact
Item # 17
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 2
studies done to determine the extent of visibility through the area, and essentially that is
it. Beyond that, that's the head on view from the parking lot but there you can see that is
the closest residence on Kings Landing Circle. You can barely see the top of it through
the notch in the trees there. There it is from Sir George Circle. You have to look for it in
order to see it. And then there is one other from Little Neck Road. Again, you have to
look for it in order to see it. So we think we've done a pretty good job concealing it.
Before we filed the application we met with the civic leagues. We met with eight civic
leagues from January through March and we were guests at the meetings of the civic
leagues. I made a fairly detailed presentation with the photo simulations and so forth, and
the application was well received. People said that they still needed improved coverage
on Little Neck, and they said for heaven sake, please make sure you make the tower tall
enough. Don't chop the top of them off like they did at the swim and racquet club. We
think 120 feet is going to be able to accomplish the objective, which is to provide
coverage to the end of the peninsula. We're a little bit northwest of the swim and racquet
club so we're more into the heart of the peninsula. We do think that we will be able to
get this signal out to everybody. But it was well received. There are a few people who
are opposed. Primarily on health concerns but we vented that pretty well. We had an RF
Engineer calculate what the power density of the base of the tower would be and it is less
than I percent of the amount, which is allowed under the guidelines. Actually, it is 15,000
times less than the maximum exposure level. So, we are well within the guidelines. We
do have approval form the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Board. We got that approval
within the last couple of weeks. We have planning staff s recommendation of approval
with the conditions that are acceptable. The church had a congregation meeting and the
church has approved it as well. So, we've been green lighted pretty well all the way. The
growth of wireless has increased dramatically as you all can appreciate. What was once
considered to be a luxury is now considered to be a necessity. And, people want to be
able to use their phones when they are on the road. They want to be able to use them
once they get to their homes. They want to be able to use them inside their homes. That
is the challenge for the industry is to be able to have that service provided where the
customers want it. And, the growth figures have just been astonishing. In the year ending
2004, wireless subscribership increased by 141/2 percent to more than 170 million
customers in the US. And during that same period of time, the usage the wireless minutes
increased by 35 percent, which to me is just phenomenal. You got more than a 1/3`d
increase in the use of wireless minutes in a one-year period. I think we all understand
what the benefits are. They're personal. They're business. They're very helpful in
emergency disaster efforts because sometimes the landline phones are gone. They still
have use of their cell phones. So, I think it is a tremendous benefit to the citizens. I think
it is a benefit to the community. I understand that we do have some opposition here,
which I'll address after they speak. We would appreciate your support of this application.
I'll be happy to answer any questions that you all have.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Do we opposition? Thank you.

William Din: I have one question. There was one comment that another color other than
the gray could be used. Is that possible?
Dick Gibson: Yes. Absolutely. I discussed that with Barbara Duke. Some of the people
when we had the neighborhood meeting said could you make it the color of the trees.
Make it brown. The problem with that is the part that sticks out above the top becomes
more visible. She said you all tried that with one monopole in the City and it was more
visible than gray. The board provides for a gray so that is why we put the gray down. It
seems to blend in better. Once those trees fill in the front, you will be standing there and
you won't even notice it.
Ronald Ripley: What's the closest distance to a residential structure?
Dick Gibson: 300 feet, which is twice the setback requirement of the ordinance.
Ronald Ripley: Which one would that be?
Dick Gibson: That would be the one that Sir George Circle that the photo simulation is
sort of red color house that the photo simulation was taken from. That is actually 450 feet
so that is three times the setback required by the ordinance.
Ronald Ripley: And that is from the base of the structure to the residential.
Dick Gibson: To the residential structure. And, also Brian Fierro is a representative of
the Lynnhaven United Methodist Church. He is the Chairman of the Board for the
Trustees. If he may speak next that would be helpful.
Dorothy Wood: We have six people that are supporting it. But we thought maybe we
could have a couple of them and the rest of them could stand up to show their support if
that is okay with you?
Dick Gibson: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: I know that you all are very uncomfortable this afternoon.
Dick Gibson: How many people do we have in opposition?
Dorothy Wood: We have a few sir but they'll speak. I'm sure of it.
Dick Gibson: Yeah, if Brian could speak from the church's perspective overall and then
a couple of other folks.
Dorothy Wood: Then we'll have the minister speak, and then that's it. Okay. Thank you.

Dick Gibson: Thank you.
Brian Fierro: Good afternoon. I'm Brian Fierro. I live at 921 King's Cross right here at
the beach in the Little Neck area. I am Chairman of the Trustees for Lynnhaven United
Methodist Church. I'll try to keep this very short because Mr. Gibson really hit all the
bullet items. We were approached last summer for this proposal. After sitting on it and
thinking about it, our two key issues were location of the tower on the property, and
community receptiveness to the tower. The location on the auxiliary parking lot of the
church is advantageous because of the trees. They would blend in. It wouldn't be sticking
out in open view. The second part, which we thought was more important, was what our
neighbors would think, and through Alltel we put together a plan to contact all the civic
league associations, attend meetings. Church representatives were at each of the meetings
as well as Alltel. The results were very little opposition overall. And, from that, civic
associations meeting then we decided to move forward with Alltel. It wasn't until we
polled the community until we were going to make a final decision to go into negotiations
with Alltel. So that happened. We moved forward based on those civic association
meetings. Basically our church is a 700-member church, which are residents of Little
Neck. They have approved the lease to be signed that we have with Alltel. And, from
that, I think you can tell the 700 members of Little Neck Peninsula are for this. It is a
pretty good population group in that area. We're just excited about the proceeds of the
lease being able to put them into local charities and outreach programs, which is what
we're directing this money toward. We presently contribute to charities both on the local,
national, and international level. We're going to be able to now increase that and go into
different areas as time goes on.
Ed Weeden: You have 45 seconds. Please wrap up.
Brian Fierro: Okay. Thank you. So, that is where we stand with that. We would like
your approval on this, and the church is very supportive of this proposal. Thank you for
your time.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: Was there anyone else who wanted to speak in support or just be
recognized?
Brian Fierro: The Pastor is here. There are some other people that are from the Little
Neck area. So they can just be recognized just to expedite things.
Dorothy Wood: Okay. Thank you.
Brian Fierro: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: The first person speaking in opposition is Kirk Johnson.

Kirk Johnson: Good afternoon. My name is Kirk Johnson. I'm a resident at 924 King's
Landing Circle. I appreciate being able to speak to you and express my opposition to this
cell tower. I recently moved to the area, and just moved into this property within the last
year. I didn't know about the meeting that they had at the church with Alltel to talk to the
community about the project. And, if I had gone, I would have expressed very serious
opposition to it. As there are no pictures depicting this. You go out to the back of my
house you will see right through the clearing over the little marshy area, and through
trees, the parking lot and Lynnhaven United Methodist Church. And, I'll be looking at
the cell tower. And, I don't want too. To me there are issues. I know I have no expertise
on zoning but if you have a change in zoning for this, I'm concerned about the changing
the aesthetics, the character of the neighborhood, property values. I also have concerns
about the relationship between health and increased health risks, which I don't know if
the Commission has received the research paperwork that Dr. Elsayed, who is one of my
neighbors had sent to the Commission. However, this is not a health professional, and
I'm not an electrical engineer but these are concerns from me because my daughter, my
wife, and I sleep and live right next to this cell tower. I think Alltel needs to recheck its
figures because we are closer than 450 feet to the cell tower. I would say it is more in the
neighborhood of 250 — 300 feet. In the back of our property is within a 100 feet of it. So,
these are some reasons why I'm opposed to it, and I can't go into any more detail with
respect to the three -minute limit. Once again, I appreciate you listening to my point of
view and hopefully you will consider disapproving this cell tower construction.
Dorothy Wood: We appreciate you coming down. Would you please answer questions
from Mr. Miller?
Robert Miller: Would you show us with the pointer where you house is?
Kirk Johnson: This is my property here. As I understand it that is the cell tower site right
here.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks. Mr. Crabtree, do you have anything?
Eugene Crabtree: I was going to ask the same question.
Dorothy Wood: Does anyone else have any questions? Thank you sir.
Kirk Johnson: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: The next person speaking in opposition is Tim Schlitt.
Tim Schlitt: Schlitt, like the beer. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Tim Schlitt. I
am the neighbor. I have been there since 1989. This is the second time that this church
has requested a cell tower to be built. Let me state that the opposition the first time was
very, very strong. In fact, my wife, my self and a group of concerned neighbors went out
Item # 17
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 6
and got petitions and we got over 500 petitions at that time against the cell tower. Now
since then, cell towers have been applied for. Once again, my wife has spent hours,
months, etc, as far as the rod and gun club, where they did built two towers at the time.
There is opposition and we take as strong view as possible. This time, and I'll explain
that at the end of this course. Property values? When they built the rod and gun club, we
had people who sold their house prior to the construction of the tower, very strong
opposition. I'm limiting half of my market value to people who oppose cell towers, and I
try to sell my house then I'm going to hit prime sale. There is a lot stronger opposition
than they led you to believe. I attended one of the meetings. I was not informed of any of
the other meetings. My house is right there. I'm right across from theirs. That would be
our view right out of the back window would be the cell tower. Previous promise, when
those telecommunications companies came in and they proposed, first our church, and
then second of all they proposed a rod and gun club. These will be all the towers that we
need. We opposed both cases. They decide to build at the rod and gun club. We were
told by the communication people that was going to be it. This would last. Alltel did not
have their act together then. Why should I suffer for not having their act together now?
There are other problems also. There are other methods available. 120-foot towers are
not the only methods where you can get telecommunications towers.
Ed Weeden: Mr. Schlitt, your have 45 seconds.
Tim Schlitt: Yes. Cancer concerns. The reason why my wife and I have not done as
much this year is because both my wife and I have had since the construction of the
towers cancer. I've gone through surgery. My wife has had chemotherapy. Can we link
it to the towers at the gun club? No. I'm not trying to but if you look at the research that
has been provided and previous research provided by European countries that is a concern
on the European countries. Finally, you hear about the local goods, and local
international efforts that have been done by the church.
Dorothy Wood: Sir, I'm sorry that you both have been sick. It is the swim and racquet
rather than gun. I don't think we have a gun club in Little Neck.
Tim Schlitt: I'm sorry.
Dorothy Wood: That is alright. Are there any questions?
Kathy Katsias: Do you have a cell phone and who is your carrier?
Tim Schlitt: I have a cell phone that I got here within the last half year. My carrier is? I
don't remember but I do get coverage. But I really don't use it. I bought it simply after
my wife had her car break down in the outskirts someplace between D.C. and
Fredericksburg and she needed to be able to get a hold of people. So, it's emergency use
- only cell phone. I do not use it.

Kathy Katsias: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition is Johnny Johnson.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome sir.
Johnny Johnson: Good afternoon everyone. My name is Johnny Johnson and I live at
981 Little Neck Road and I'll point that out for you. I live right there. I am well within
450 feet of this property. I haven't measured it out because I didn't know that number
would come up. But I'm way less than 450 feet. I bought the property about three years
ago because of the natural beauty looking out over the wetlands there. I simply don't
want to look out my back door and see a communications antenna. The key point that I
would make is there has been a lot of talk about eight civic leagues that have approved
this. For those of us who live in the immediate vicinity we don't have a civic league. So
we didn't get together as a civic league and approve this. I think it is somewhat irrelevant
to go to civic leagues in King's Grant or further down Little Neck Road to get their
approval because they are not the ones who are going look out their back door at it. The
other issue is there have been some pictures that have been shown. But I think those
pictures are somewhat of a Trojan horse, and that they show a view of the antenna from
300 — 500 yards away over the tops of trees. That is not the view that I will have looking
out my back door.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Thank you sir. We did receive your letter.
Johnny Johnson: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: That is all that we have in opposition today. Mr. Gibson.
Dick Gibson: I would ask that the people who came in support please stand up and be
recognized by the Planning Commission.
Dorothy Wood: We're happy to have you here. Thank you for coming down.
Dick Gibson: I guess the opposition focuses on two items. One is aesthetics, and the
other is health concerns. The health concerns I will deal with quickly because it is easy.
We did commission an engineer as I mentioned before, and Alltel is not going to put
something out there that is not going to be healthy or is going to be a detriment to
people's health. It is regulated by the Federal Communication Commission, in terms of
your signal strength, and what the measure power density is at the base of the tower. We
are well within the guidelines of that. Significantly, under the 96 Telecommunications
— Act, as Mr. Macali will tell you municipalities cannot regulate the placement of cell
towers based on perceived health concerns. So that is something that you all legally can't
Item #17
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 8
even consider a factor. As far as the aesthetics are concerned if you look at this overview,
the aerial view you see how densely treed that is, and actually the closer you are to the
facility the less likely you will be able to see it because your looking in the trees and not
looking over the tops of trees. So, for those residents that are living fairly close to the
facility, they're going to be looking into trees. The pictures that we took we didn't go
into people's yard obviously but the further back you are from the tree coverage the more
likely it is you are going to see the top of the tower, so the closer you are the more you are
going to be looking right into the trees and not seeing the top of the tower. I think we
have done a very good job in making this facility essentially invisible. It will be less
visible than the towers that are at the swim and racquet club, and it is not as close to
residences as the towers that are at the swim and racquet club. If you go back into the
swim and racquet club and you look you can literally see into people's kitchens from
those towers. You won't be able to see in people's kitchens from this facility, and they
won't see it. I submit that it is actually a better application than the swim and racquet
club. Also, it is in conformity with the 2001 guidelines that were approved in terms of
stealth tower application in residential neighborhoods. Obviously, you're going to be in
somebody's back yard in a residential neighborhood. We had complied with those
guidelines by making this a stealth facility and I thank you for your time. We'll
appreciate your support.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir for coming down.
Dick Gibson: Thank you.
Ronald Ripley: I have a question.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Gibson.
Ronald Ripley: Mr. Gibson is the height of this tower the same as the one at the swim
and racquet club?
Dick Gibson: Yes. It is, maybe within a foot or two. It is actually 118 feet but then you
got a two foot one inch lightening rod on top of that so the physical structure itself is 118
feet.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Comments? Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: I would have to be in agreement with Mr. Gibson in the overall view.
When you take the two together I think this is a better application than the swim and
racquet club that we looked at earlier. I think the main opposition is on the Little Neck
area. I know the residents there elected to put towers in that area. As we all have
discussed before, I think we recognize the need for cell coverage for those residents in the
Item # 17
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 9
Little Neck area. If we were looking for it at the swim and racquet club, the church site
came up as viable and alternative. At that time, it probably would have been a good
alternative to place those towers there but I would go ahead with my recommendation to
approve this. At the health concerns, I know that concerns everybody and I just don't
know if they are well founded. The towers are in other residential areas. There have been
studies on the health concerns and I just don't think well of those concerns that people
may have on that. That is my opinion on this for recommendation for the use.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there a second? I'm sorry, I thought that was a motion?
Janice Anderson: No. I'm sorry.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Miller.
Robert Miller: When we did the swim and racquet club, I don't remember that being
stated that this was the end of any possibilities that these were just the applicants involved
in that particular project. I just want to make sure.
Barbara Duke: When we did the swim and racquet it was stated that was not the ultimate
solution. In other words, they would handle the majority of the carriers but not all of
them.
Robert Miller: And we did two towers there right? And that is handling four carriers.
Barbara Duke: Yes.
Robert Miller: Who is it handling? Do you know? Just curiosity.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Gibson probably knows.
Dick Gibson: It is handling Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Ntelos.
Dorothy Wood: Okay. Thank you.
Robert Miller: That was it.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: I sympathize with the neighbors. These are the folks that it really has an
immediate impact to. And that was the same case in the swim and racquet club. For the
most part, I know there was some other opposition from the area but all in all, it was the
immediate neighbors. This application and that was really a tough application and we all
6 sat here a long time working through it. This application appears to be a better
application in my opinion. I think it is sited a lot better than the one at the swim and
Item # 17
Alltel Communications, Inc.
Page 10
racquet club. That was sitting down in an open area. It does sit back from the road but I
think the back of it has been sited back into the trees a little better. Even though I'm sure
there is going to be somebody's house around it. One of the neighbors that is in here
today that is going to look at it and not like it for a long time. But we're looking at and I
can recall in that hearing we got talking about the necessity of utilities and telephone pole
lines that run all the way through the Little Neck area and all over the city is a necessity.
You don't see it because you all get your electricity. It is unfortunate or it's the state of
times that the cell phone business has gotten to where it is, and the need for coverage is
essential. So this is like another utility. That is the way it has become. So, I'm going to
support the application also.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other comments? Is that in the form of a
motion then?
Ronald Ripley: Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve.
Eugene Crabtree: I'll second it.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Ron and seconded by Mr. Crabtree to approve.

SYNOPSIS OF CIVIC LEAGUE AND NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS
Representatives of ALLTEL and the Lynnhaven United Methodist Church made a presentation
lasting approximately one-half hour to each of the civic leagues below. The presentation
included details about the project, photo simulations, a visual impact analysis, cellular coverage
propagation maps for Little Neck, options considered by ALLTEL and information about the
Church. After each presentation, the civic league members were given the opportunity to ask
questions and voice comments, suggestions, support and opposition. The following is a synopsis
of the results of these meetings.
Little Neck Swim & Racquet Club - January 17, 2005
• This was a Board meeting with approximately 10 people present.
• There was no opposition.
• A reporter from The Beacon was present.
• The Board explained ALLTEL could not add a third tower on the site due both to space
limitations and inability to meet set back distance from residential structures.
• The Board explained ALLTEL could not raise the height of one of the towers because the
two towers were reduced from an originally proposed taller height as a compromise with
the neighbors.
Lynnwood Civic Association - February 7, 2005
This was a Board meeting with approximately 10 people present.
A man from Staceywood Court (not part of this civic league) was the only person to
speak directly against the proposal. He acknowledged he would not be able to see the
tower from his property, it would not affect him and it would not be a factor for anyone
buying his house. He, in essence, said that he was there on behalf of unidentified other
people who may be able to see it.
A few people said they felt that the Racquet Club solution should have taken care of all
wireless carriers.
Middle Plantation and Bishonseate Civic Association - Combined Meeting - February 8, 2005
• This was a membership meeting and approximately 75 members attended, and most were
supportive of the project. Only 3 people spoke in opposition, one of whom was the same
man from Staceywood Court who spoke at the Lynwood meeting.
• The other 2 people who spoke in opposition were a couple who said they both had cancer
and were concerned for their safety as they would be living near the tower. I explained
that the tower did not pose a safety threat relative to RF emissions and that antennas at
this height were categorically excluded from further study by the FCC because there was
no safety threat.
• Some members suggested a color other than gray such as a mottled green/brown to blend
in with the trees.
• One person suggested that we consider the City Park near Sea Breeze. (See Applicant's
Statement for ALLTEL's consideration of other sites.)
• Several people said they had thought the Swim Club towers were going to be
objectionable and they had vehemently opposed them, but the finished product was not
objectionable, and they thus had no opposition to our project.
• Some noted that the tower on the Church property would be less visible than those at the
Racquet Club.
• Some members questioned why ALLTEL was not proposing a third tower at the Swim &
Racquet Club and a member of the Swim & Racquet Club explained that the Club could
not accommodate any proposal for a third tower.
• Several people said they supported the project because better cellular coverage was
needed in Little Neck.
Sea Breeze Farm Civic Association - February 22, 2005
• 15 members were present. They were all supportive and not one member spoke in
opposition.
• Members stated that they do not notice the Racquet Club towers and will not notice one at
the Church nor will a tower at the Church be as visible as existing utility poles.
• One person said he was glad the Church would be getting income from the project and
this made him even more supportive.
Redwood Farms Civic Association - February 24, 2005
• Six people from Redwood Farms attended the meeting.
• All those present support the ALLTEL proposal but wanted assurance the tower will be
tall enough to ensure good coverage.
• They complimented ALLTEL's "public relations" approach.
Little Neck Cove Civic League - March 14, 2005
• Approximately 40 members were present.
• The civic league President asked for a showing of hands of those in favor of and those
opposed to the project. Only three people indicated they were opposed. After the
meeting two of the opponents withdrew their opposition because they said, based on the
presentation, the project was not objectionable to them.
• One person was opposed because she continues to think a third tower should be built at
the Racquet Club.
• One person asked if the tower could be taller than the height proposed to insure good
coverage.

• Members of the LUMC congregation, all residents on Staceywood Court and all property
owners abutting the LUMC property were notified of the meeting and invited to attend to
learn about the project.
• The meeting was not well attended. Two people were present at the beginning, one
arrived in the middle and two arrived at the end. No one from Staceywood Court was
present.
• An adjoining neighbor spoke against the project based on alleged health concerns from
RF emissions on his children.
• A couple expressed opposition because, in their opinion, Little Neck is the most desirable
residential area in Virginia Beach and they think the tower would be detrimental.
• The other two attendees expressed neither support nor opposition.

The purpose of this email is to voice my opposition to the placement of a
cell communication tower on the United Methodist Church property. I make
this objection for a number of reasons. I hope you are aware that our
community objected to this same initiative about five years ago. At that
time the City disapproved the request but it was over -ruled by a Federal
Judge and the towers were erected. The City in turn appealed the Judges'
decision and the towers were ordered to be taken down.

Page 2 of 2
The towers in this area simply do not go with the landscape of this
neighborhood. When the last towers were erected they were totally out of
place and an eye sore. The area where I live in Kings Grant Landing East
backs right up to the Church and this will undoubtedly have an impact on the
value of our properties. I have lived here for over 20 years, and bought
here due to the beauty and tranquility of the area. To take this way from
the citizenry is an abomination. I am further concerned about the health
risks that a tower in such close proximity 24/7 might impose on our health.
While I realize that some might adamantly argue against this concern, I
would venture to guess it is someone that is not impacted as my neighbors or
me.
I fail to see the need for such a tower in this proposed area as there is
one located nearby (less than a mile) at the Swim and Racket Club. This is
at least a location where the tower does not look as much out of place. Five
years ago the Church was to make $60K a year to place the towers on their
property. This is simply about money in their pockets. I am a devout
Christian so I am not making this complaint because I am opposed to the
Church. This situation was properly argued five years ago and I think it
un-Christianly of the Church to put us though this again. It caused great
turmoil last time and is doing so again.
I would hope that the Virginia Beach Planning Commission might take the
steps necessary to deny this proposal and close the issue once and for all.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Protest of proposed Alltel Communications cell tower at Lynnhaven United Methodist
Church, 1033 Little Neck Road
My name is Kirk Johnson, and I am a property owner at 924 King's Landing Circle. I oppose the
construction of a cell tower across from my back yard at Lynnhaven Methodist Church. I have
expressed as much and my reasons to both Alltel and Lynnhaven Methodist, as you will see in the
attached copy of the letter that I have sent to them. As I understand there will be a public Hearing
on the issue June 8th, I am registering my protest with you based on:
1. cell towers are eyesores
2. it will negatively impact my property resale value
3. it may present serious health risks to residents surrounding the site, my family being
one of the most immediately affected
I trust you will file this letter with the materials for the public hearing and advise the Planning
Commissioners that I in no uncertain terms oppose this tower's construction. Thank you for your
assistance.

In the area of exposure (area A) eight cases of different kinds of cancer were
diagnosed in a period of only one year. This rate of cancers was compared both with
the rate of 31 cases per 10,000 per year in the general popidation and the 2/1222 rate
recorded in the nearby clinic (area B). Relative cancer rates for females were 10.5 for
area A, 0.6 for area B and 1 for the whole town of Netany , Cancer incidence of
women in area A was thus significantly higher (p<0.0001) compared with that of area
B and the whole city. A comparison of the relative risk revealed that there were 4.15
tunes more cases in area A, than in the entire population.

(on which adequate data could be gathered) did not suffer frorr, uncommon genetic
conditions, nor did they receive carcinogenic medications.
Differences in diagnosis and registration of cancer cases. Although we cannot
altogether exclude the possibility that higher awareness of the physician responsible
for area A led to an artificial increase in cancer cases in this area, this possibility seems
to us very unlikely, since both are qualified family physicians.
Several findings are of particular interest: '
The measured level of RF radiation (power density) in the area was low; far below the
current guidelines based on the thermal effects of RF exposure. We suggest, therefore,
that the current guidelines be re-evaluated.
The enormous short latency period; less than 2 years, indicates that if there is a real
causal association between RF radiation emitted from the cell -phone base station and
the cancer cases (which we strongly believe there is), then the radiation should
have a very strong promoting effect on cancer at very low. radi tion!
Although the possibility remains that this clustering of cancer
cases in one year was a
chance event, the unusual sex pattern of these cases, the 6 diff
rent cancer kinds, and
the fact that only one patient smoked make this possibility very
improbable and
remote. It should be noted that 7 out of 8 cancer cases were women,
like in the work of
Maskarinec (25) who found 6 out of 7 leukemia cases in proximity
to radio towers to
occur in girls. Such unusual appearances of cancer cases due to
one accused factor on
two completely different occasions is alarming.
We are aware of at least 2 areas in which a drastic increase in I
he incidence of cancer
cases occurred near a cell -phone antenna, however, the setup v
ras not suitable for a
well design study of those cases. In one of them (which also g
t publication in the
daily newspapers) there were 6 out of 7 cancer cases in women working in a store in
close proximity to a cell -phone antenna.
r
lusion,the results of this study showed that there was a significantly greater
ce of cancers of all kinds within the vicinity of a cell -phone transmitter station.

An important announcement was made on May 22,
2001. A five-year study, by the U.S. National Toxi-
cology Program QM), located at Research Triangle
Park. N.C., will focus on wbether microwave radia-
tion from cellular mobile telephones causes cancer.

it is critical to obtain scientifically rigorous laboratory
studies of the potential for health effects from lomg-
tam use of these products;' said Kenneth Olden, hand

ences (NMHS) and director of the NTP. NISHS is an
arm of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), based
in Washington, D.C.
The NTP will be doing the studies at the request of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which
has asked for these studies in 1999. The cost is esti-
mated to be approximately $10 million, but most of
the funding will be derived from the cellular telephone
industry. It will be a major animal study on cell -phone
radiation.
A aeries of recent epidemiological studies has pro-
vided some optimism, in that they imply that the use
of cellular mobile telephones does not cause brain tu-
mom in the short term D. 21. It is also recognized
that these investigations do not measure risks, in the.
long run, for cancers such as brain tumors with longer
latency periods of induction, or for slow -growing tu-
wmom that could take decades for symptoms to emerge
in humans. Therefore, life -span long research, using
animal models, is crucial..
The scientific evidence on cellular telephone safety
or harm re inains inconclusive. Many users and
nonusers alilce are somewhat waxy because an effect
femme wireless radiation, even small, could have a con-
side mble impact on the total population in terms of
Public health. Indeed, the FDA has offered advice to
people who are worried about their all phones but
don't want to give them up, including keeping convex
sadoas short and switching to models with headsets,
rather than using hand-held devices.

,Abstract
Nowadays, due to the wide use of mobile phones, the possible biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) become a public health
general concern. Despite intensive research, there are no widely accepted theories about the i mteractions. between EMFs and living cells, and
the experinwntal data axe often controversial. We examined the effects of mobile phones EMF (envelope fi-equency of 217 Hz, carrier
frequency of 900 MHz and pulse duration of 580 µs) or its pure, low -frequency pulsed elect 'c field component on fluid-pbase endoeytosis.
In both cases, with exposures exceeding 10 min, an increase of the fluid -phase endocytosis re to was observed (-1.5-fold), on three different
cell typal. This increase is an all-oK nothing type of response that is occurring for threshold values comprised between 1.3 and 2.6 W/kg for
the delivered EW powers and between 1.1 and 1.5 V/cm for• the electric fields intensities depending upon the cell typo. The electric
component of these F.1NFs is shown to be responsible for the observed increase. Variations of frequency or pulse duration of the electric
Pulses are shown to be without effect. Thus, LNff, via their electrical component, can perbirb one of the most f tadarnental physiological
functions of the cells—eadocytosis.

CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #8. This is Budget Rent-A-Car. This is a request for
a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle rentals on property located at 5193 Shore
Drive, Unit 114 in the Bayside District. There are four conditions associated with this
item.
Bill Gambrell: Mr. Bill Gambrell representing the applicant. All the conditions are
acceptable.
W illiam Din: Thank you Mr. Gambrell. Is there any opposition to placing this item on
consent? If not, Mr. Knight will also explain this item.
Barry Knight: This is agenda Item #8, which is Budget Rent-A-Car, which is located on
Shore Drive in the Bayside District. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit
to allow motor vehicle rentals for up to six cars on the site for local or long distance

within the Comprehensive Plan, and it is a good use. So therefore, we put it on the
consent agenda.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CH&B Associates, L.L.P. — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of CH&B Associates, L.L.P. for a Change of
Zoning District Classification from Conditional P-1 Preservation District with a
PD-H2 Overlay to Conditional A-12 Apartment District with a PD-H2 Overlay and
Conditional P-1 Preservation District with a PD-H2 Overlay on property located
on the southeast corner of South Plaza Trail and Prestige Way (GPIN
14767258070000). The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being part
of the Primary Residential Area, suitable for appropriately located suburban
residential and non-residential uses consistent with the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this zoning change is to develop the site
with 48 multi -family dwellings. DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
■ Considerations:
The five -acre site that is the subject of this request is part of a larger master
planned community that was approved by City Council on 09/09/03. The
Conceptual Development Plan shows five distinct parcels, identified as:
• Parcel A (2-story townhomes)
• Parcel B (3-story townhomes)
• Parcel C (3-story carriage homes)
• Luxury Multi -Family Parcel
• Open Space Parcel
The five acre site that is the subject of this request is currently part of the Open
Space Parcel and is zoned P-1 Preservation District. The proffered Conceptual
Development Plan contains a note that states that this five -acre parcel shall be
used for "Optional recreational and other amenities for use only by the Luxury
Multi -family".
The applicant desires to change the zoning on the five -acre site in order to
develop 48 multi -family age -restricted (age 55 and over) units on a 2.62-acre
portion. The remaining 2.38-acre portion will continue to be used as open space
for the master planned community.
CH&B Associates, L.L.P.
Page 2 of 2
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
felt that the proposed use is appropriate for the site. The proposal is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area and
the proposal is compatible with the master planned community. The addition of
an age -restricted community in this location fits in well with the proposed
residential community on the east side of South Plaza Trail as well as the
medical office complex and other commercial areas that are under development
on the western side of South Plaza Trail. With the additional 48 units proposed,
the density in the overall residential component of the master planned community
increases from 7.6 units/acre to 8.3 units/acre. This increase in density is not
expected to significantly impact the surrounding area as the future residents of
the age -restricted units will be able to live, work and obtain services within the
confines of the master planned community. The proposed density is still under
the 12 units/acre the underlying zoning of A-12 Apartment District allows.
Although the open space will be reduced by 2.62 acres, the remaining open
space of 15.25 acres exceeds the minimum amount of open space that is
required in PD-H2 planned developments by 1 acre. The buildings will overlook
a 5-acre lake that is planned for stormwater management and have been set
back more than 100 feet from South Plaza Trail. The building elevations will
match those already approved for the Luxury Multi -Family Parcel. These factors
ensure that the proposed new buildings will maintain the high level of quality that
the master planned community has already established.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve the request, as proffered.

GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
14762580700000 2 — KEMPSVILLE 5.0 Acres
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The five -acre site that is the subject of this request is part of a
larger master planned community that was approved by City Council on 09/09/03. The planned
community consists of large tracts of land located on the east and west sides of South Plaza Trail
between South Independence Boulevard and Princess Anne Road. The master planned community
contains 27.6 acres of commercial and 39.7 acres of office property on the west side of South Plaza Trial
and 93.8 acres of residential on the east side of South Plaza Trail. The Conceptual Development Plan
referenced in the recorded proffer agreement governs the 93.8-acre residential parcel on the east side of
South Plaza Trail. The Conceptual Development Plan shows five distinct parcels, identified as:
• Parcel A (2-story townhomes)
• Parcel B (3-story townhomes)
• Parcel C (3-story carriage homes)
• Luxury Multi -Family Parcel
• Open Space Parcel
The five acre site that is the subject of this request is currently part of the Open Space Parcel and is
zoned P-1 Preservation District. The proffered Conceptual Development Plan contains a note that states
that this five acre parcel shall be used for "Optional recreational and other amenities for use only by the
Luxury Multi -family'.
CH&B A
The applicant desires to change the zoning on the five -acre site in order to develop 48 multi -family age -
restricted units on a 2.62-acre portion. The remaining 2.38-acre portion will continue to be used as open
space for the master planned community.
The Open Space Parcel as it exists today totals 17.87 acres (excluding 12.2 acres of stormwater lakes).
If the 2.62-acre parcel proposed for 48 age -restricted units is rezoned to A-12, the Open Space Parcel will
be reduced to 15.25 acres (excluding 12.2 acres of stormwater lakes).

WATER AND SEWER: This site must connect to City water and sanitary sewer.
SCHOOLS: The proposed development will be restricted to adults age 55 and over, therefore, there will be
no impact on schools from the 48 additional units.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
the Primary Residential Area. General planning principles in this area include preserving the quality of
surburban neighborhoods, creating and protecting open spaces and optimizing suburban mobility.
When "planned developments" are appropriately located and designed to include a mixture of residential
and non-residential uses, this will reduce the number of vehicle trips on the surrounding roadways and
thus improve overall mobility.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request with the proffers submitted by the applicant. The proffers are
provided below.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area and the
proposal is compatible with the master planned community. The addition of an age -restricted community
in this location fits in well with the proposed residential community on the east side of South Plaza Trail as
well as the medical office complex and other commercial areas that are under development on the
western side of South Plaza Trail. With the additional 48 units proposed, the density in the overall
residential component of the master planned community increases from 7.6 units/acre to 8.3 units/acre.
This increase in density is not expected to significantly impact the surrounding area as the future
residents of the age -restricted units will be able to live, work and obtain services within the confines of the
master planned community. The proposed density is still under the 12 units/acre the underlying zoning of
A-12 Apartment District allows. Although the open space will be reduced by 2.62 acres, the remaining
open space of 15.25 acres exceeds the minimum amount of open space that is required in PD-H2
planned developments by 1 acre. The buildings will overlook a 5-acre lake that is planned for stormwater
management and have been set back more than 100 feet from South Plaza Trail. The building elevations
will match those already approved for the Luxury Multi -Family Parcel. These factors ensure that the
proposed new buildings will maintain the high level of quality that the master planned community has
already established.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The
applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these
proffers in an attempt to "offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,"
(§107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve

CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: Our next order business will be the consent items. The Vice Chair will
handle this portion of the agenda.
William Din: Thank you Ms. Wood. Today we have six items for inclusion on the
consent agenda. As I call each of the items, the representative or the applicant should
come up to the podium, please state your name, your relationship to the item or the
application, and then state whether or not you've read the conditions, if there are
conditions associated with that item. Again, as stated previously, these are items that we
felt were unopposed and have been placed on consent agenda. We will be voting on these
in block. So, if you have an objection when I call the item, please state it at that time.
The first item I have is Item #1 CH&B Associates, L.L.P. This is a Change of Zoning
District Classification from Conditional P-1 Preservation District with a PD-1-12 Overlay
to Conditional A-12 Apartment District with PD-H2 Overlay and Conditional P-1
Preservation District with a PD-1-12 Overlay on property located on the southeast corner
of South Plaza Trail and Prestige Way in the Kempsville Section.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much Mr. Din. Madame Chairman, for the record, my name
is R.J. Nutter. I represent the applicant CH&B Associates. The conditions are
accep�able. As you know, this is a proffered application. I did attend the early session
when the issue of the compliance with the fire code regulations was discussed. I will tell
you that we're happy to work with your staff about adding sprinkler systems in the
hallways in conjunction with the code. The condition we talked about and we will be
working with Karen's staff between now and Council to affect that change. In fact, there
is a good chance of already doing it. We just can't give you that guarantee at this moment
in time. So, we have it worked out for you by the time we get to Council. Thank you
very much.
William Din: Is there any opposition to placing this item on consent agenda? If not,
thank you Mr. Nutter. Mr. Horsley will explain why we have placed this on consent.
Donald Horsley: Okay. Thank you Will. This proposal is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan recommendations for this area. The addition of an age restricted
community in this location fits well with the proposed residential community on the east
side of South Plaza Trail as well as the medical office complex and other commercial
areas that are under development on the west side of South Plaza Trail. The increase in
Item # 1
CH&B Associates, L.L.P.
Page 2
density is not expected to significantly impact the surrounding area as the future residents
of the age restricted community will be able to live, work, and obtain services within the
confines of the master planned community. We11, Mr. Nutter has addressed the fire
suppression system. That was our main concern this morning, and we think that would
adequately be taken care of before Council. There was no objection. We think the
application is properly proffered so that was the reason for putting it on the consent
agenda.
William Din: Thank you Don. I would like to make a motion to approve the following
consent agenda item. Item #1, CH&B Associates, L.L.P. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from Conditional P-1 Preservation District with a PD-1-12 Overlay and
Conditional P-I Preservation District with a PD-112 Overlay on property located on the
south east corner of South Plaza Trail and Prestige Way.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Do I hear a second? Mr. Knight. We have a motion by Mr.
Din and a second by Mr. Knight.

1#1 Conditional Zoning- Recorded Proffers Conditional Zoning Change from P-1/PDH2

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Munden Land, L.L.C. — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Munden Land, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning
District Classification from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional
PD-1-12 Planned Unit Development District (R-10 Residential and P-1
Preservation) on property located on the east side of Princess Anne Road,
approximately 1350 feet south of Sandbridge Road (GPIN 24142007960000).
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being part of Princess Anne
(Transition Area). The purpose of this zoning change is to develop 71 single-
family homes. DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing AG-1 and AG-2 agricultural
property to a Conditional R-10 Residential District and P-1 Preservation District
with a PD-1-12 Overlay. The applicant proposes to develop the site as a 71 lot
residential development with over 50% open space in keeping with the Transition
Guidelines.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. The proposed building elevations reflect high
quality materials and a detailed architectural style. The layout of the site will
create a development that will complement the residential neighborhood under
construction to the east and buffer the ARP property to the south. The proposal
includes meandering trails, a large central open space area as well as extensive
landscaping and berming.
The Transition Area "Matrix" was used to evaluate the proposal's consistency
with land use and design goals for the Transition Area. The result was a score of
0.99 dwelling units per acre. This score translates to a total of 71 units for this
71.68-acre site. Staff concludes this proposal is consistent with the
recommendations contained within the TATAC report and as recommended in
the Transition Area Design Guidelines.
There was opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:

Dear Ms. Prochilo:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Conditional
Rezoning Application by Munden Land, LLC. After careful
evaluation and deliberation, we would like to make the following
statements for the record.
Munden Farms would be located approximately six miles
southeast of Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana in close proximity
to the southeastern departure corridor, bearing 175 magnetic
from NAS Oceana, and would place residents in the 65-70 and less
than 65 decibel (dB) day -night average (DNL) noise zones. High
performance fighter aircraft from NAS Oceana will potentially
fly in the vicinity of the development, subjecting residents to
high decibel single event noise levels at any time. The Navy's
Air Installations Compatible Use Zones Program views residential
development as not compatible and discourages this use in the
65-70 dB DNL.
If this rezoning request is approved, we recommend sound
attenuation measures be implemented. Interior sound level
reduction and noise zone disclosure ensure a level of protection
for prospective residents and NAS Oceana. The noise reduction
efforts will reduce noise effects on the quality of life while
indoors for the residents. Additionally, we recommend an
in-depth disclosure of NAS Oceana operational impacts on Munden
Farms at contract signing vice closing to potential home buyers.
If you have any questions, contact my Community Planning
Liaison Officer, Mr. Ray Firenze, at (757) 433-3158.
Sincerely and very respectfully,

District (R-10 Residential and P-1 Preservation) on property located on the east side of
Princess Anne Road approximately 1350 feet south of Sandbridge Road, District 7,
Princess Anne with eleven proffers.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Secretary and Madame Chair, for the record, Eddie
Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney representing the applicants. A couple of the brothers
are here today. We have worked extensively with the staff on the development plan for
this 71'h-acre parcel of land that has been in the Munden family for well over a century.
The property is located almost at the northern boundary of what was once called
Transition Area Three, now it is all just one -transition area. It is just to the south of the
Food Lion shopping center, the Gateway Bank on the corner, and just to the north of that
is the Red Mill Commons shopping area. The property adjoining us on the north is also
owned by the owners of that commercial development on the corner, which now
characterizes the southeast corner of Sandbridge Road and Princess Anne Road.
Recently, a plan for a daycare center was approved on a portion of that property fronting
on Sandbridge Road. I'm aware of the fact with consultations with the owners that they
also have plans in the works to come forward to develop that property. You all may
recall a few years ago, I stood before you representing the owners of that property seeking
a borrow pit, which clearly is not in keeping with what we now are looking for in the
transition area, and the TATAC recommendations, and with the development exists, my
clients have come forward with this application. To the east of this property, this is an
older aerial photo the Heritage Park Development is under construction. To the southeast
of this property, the Ashville Park Development will be taking place over the course the
next number of years. We have provided a main entrance from Princess Anne Road. We
will be providing turn lanes within Princess Anne Road to the right-of-way within the
area that we will be providing to the City. We have provided the required 150 feet buffer
on our property along Princess Anne Road, in this area, but in addition to that we
provided buffer that goes all the way back to over 300 feet to the nearest property line,
well over 300 feet to the nearest home from Princess Anne Road. All this area you see
here will be extensively bermed and landscaped. We proffered all of that. We have also
provided, in addition to sidewalk in the street, we provided trails that totally encompass
the entirety of the site. We have over 71 acres. We have 42.6 acres of the property in
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 2
open space, well over a 50 percent threshold. Unfortunately, it (the photo) was cut off
here but we also are showing a pedestrian multipurpose bridge that we will be putting in.
There is a major drainage way here. I am hesitant to call it a ditch. It is a very large ditch
but we will be providing a pedestrian connection from our trails to the trails within
Heritage Park to our east. To the south, we adjoin a piece of property that is in the ARP
Program. To my knowledge, it is the only piece of property in the Transition Area to date
other than John Cromwell's farm, which is down at the far southeastern corner of the
Transition Area Three, where the true transition occurs into the agricultural area. This
property to our south has been in the ARP for a number of years but it is the "lone wolf'
and I think it will remain the only property in ARP this far north in the Transition Area.
That is an option that everyone has but it is not a requirement and this is not in the area
below the Blue Line at Indian River Road and Pungo. But we have provided an
evergreen buffer along here that is heavily landscaped. We had originally talked about
doing a berm in here but for drainage reasons the City felt it was best, and we concur that
we not berm this but we just doing a very, very heavy evergreen landscape buffer. It is
correct that in this area here and here, we are less than 50 feet from the property line with
the boundaries for the lots. The area in here is all open space all maintained by
Homeowners Association. I believe we are able to move these and shift these to the north
so that we can provide a 50-foot evergreen buffer along this southern boundary, and we
are certainly willing to do that and accommodate that. Along our southern boundary is a
ditch about 31/z feet rough deep that runs the entire boundary, which provides some
incentive for people to trespass. We certainly, with this hedgerow that we will put in is
going to be grown up to the point where it will be very difficult to get through. The trails
are inside of this and not on the outside. The TATAC Committee and everything that is
in there talks about openness. Our fencing, which these lots will be fenced, are open
fences. We don't want any privacy fence. This is all open style fencing because we want
to have that open feel. We do not believe it is necessary to place a fence along the
boundary in addition to all this landscaping and the ditch. Frankly, the berm would be
better than the fencing because it gives an open feel rather than trying to put a fence up.
We will abide by the wishes of City Council if they believe there is a necessity for putting
a fence here we could that but we don't think that is consistent with our recommendations
are under the Comprehensive Plan. We proffered some beautiful homes. I will mention
and Mr. Waller will appreciate this, the homes that are shown in those pictures are a little
larger than what will occur on these lots. I just want to make sure that everyone is clear.
That represents the architectural style of the homes. They are 75 percent brick. They will
clearly far exceed the minimum threshold for value homes that we are inspiring to in the
Transition Area. I don't think there is any doubt about that. We've provided future
access to the north. We expect there will be actually a ring road that will come in off of
Sandbridge Road near the daycare center that will loop around and possibly connect here,
and then come out here. But that is not definite at this point. The ring road may come up
in this area. We don't know. It all depends on what they decide to do to the property to
the north. We provided that opportunity if it becomes one that is makes sense and is
viable. We have offered proffered money for open space acquisition elsewhere in the
City, which is one of the proffers, which I have all my clients put in their agreements in

the Transition Area from the get go. I believe we have an excellent application and I
think that your staff concurred with that with their recommendation for approval. I'll be
happy to answer any questions that any of you may have.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Ron and Will.
Ronald Ripley: You mentioned a bridge. Is that a timber bridge that you're proposing to
put in across the drainage area?
Eddie Bourdon: The precise nature of the construction, I can't speak to whether it will
be. More than likely it will be Mr. Ripley but it is going to depend on the engineering that
is going to take place at the time, and the City would have to approve whether are
comfortable with it being a timber bridge or some other structure.
Ronald Ripley: You mentioned that the lots closest to the southern property that you will
try to find a way to move them a little bit so that you will have about 50 feet of an area to
buffer.
Eddie Bourdon: We have well over 50 feet for the vast majority of that area, and the only
places that we are inside of that is here, and here.
Ronald Ripley: So you're going to make a slight revision to your plan, and change it for
Council?
Eddie Bourdon: To shift those north but it won't change anything about it except just to
move some lines, and changing some angles.
Ronald Ripley: I couldn't quite tell the make of the path itself. Is it a multipurpose path?
Is it a hard surface?
Eddie Bourdon: It is mulched type hard unit. It is not asphalt. It is not going to be an
asphalt surface. You can do multipurpose things on it but it will not be an asphalt trail.
You can walk and jog. Bikes can go on it. It might be a little difficult for someone
pushing a stroller.
Ronald Ripley: Horses?
Eddie Bourdon: Oh, absolutely. Yes sir. There will be 150 feet along Princess Anne
Road that will be dedicated to the City. Everything else will be owned and maintained by
the mandatory membership Homeowners Association.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Will.

William Din: Eddie, you are going through a lot of trouble to landscape all around this
site except the site that are on Princess Anne Road there. You got these two white
blotches or cut outs of this property. To me, it sort of just sits out like a sore thumb that
you haven't got landscaping that blends in to the rest of the development. Was there any
consideration given to how that actually looks from Princess Anne Road, and the type of
landscaping that might improve that view also.
Eddie Bourdon: It actually has been Mr. Din and I appreciate the question. I should have
addressed this earlier. The two existing parcels, which are not a part of this property, they
are subdivided, and have been subdivided out of this property. This home was built back
in the late 50s. It is owned by one of the brothers who reside there. And it is landscaped
as it is today. We certainly expect both of these, and this is also by one of the brothers, as
well as his house is 25 years old. We have extensive landscaping all around this one. We
haven't done as much here because this property is fairly well landscaped. But we don't
have any aversion of incorporating landscaping around these homes. We think they add to
the character of the area, and the appearance of the drive down Princess Anne Road. We
do anticipate that we may very well, and we provided for it here change the entrances to
these homes off of Princess Anne Road, and have them come into this road with a new
driveway so to eliminate the existing driveways on Princess Anne Road. But in terms
and we have not considered that these homes were in any way detrimental to the character
of the area, in terms of their appearance that they needed to be extensively screened. If
the City, and ARP to the south, and there won't be a trail going further south of the ARP
property, I don't believe but if there is an effort to put a trail up through there that is
something that is certainly may be accommodated with the two homes that are existing
there. But, no one has expressed to us the desire that we put in any type of major
screening in front of these homes, and I'm not really sure exactly what you would be
looking for but they are owned by members of the family, and certainly are willing to
work with the staff enhance the appearance of what they expect to be a excellent project.
William Din: My concern, I guess is that you got the entrance of this development right
there between these two, and you got a well landscaped area. You want this development
to be attractive as you go into this thing also. I'm not saying that the houses on the site
are not. I would like to see it more blended in to the development of the neighborhood
rather than just sitting there, as an isolated area.
Eddie Bourdon: And certainly when you look at a picture like this that just shows lots on
a map, you don't really have the ability to see what they look like or what the existing
landscaping around those properties are.
William Din: We do have some pictures of the frontage of this area. That is one of the
houses. The other house is on the other side?
Eddie Bourdon: That is where we have the extensive landscaping around. When you look
at that and you try to put your mind's eye see all the landscaping that we will be placing
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 5
will be, in the case to the house to the south, which this is the house to the north, all the
way up towards Princess Anne Road. Our development is well beyond where these
homes are.
William Din: But this is the view from Princess Anne Road that people will see, plus the
entrance?
Eddie Bourdon: Exactly, when it is developed Mr. Din and everything is placed in there
this view will be tremendously buried from what you see today. You have nothing there
today. If you look at the plans we have landscaping all the way back down the road.
William Din: I would just hope to consider those houses. Take a look at that entrance
and if you could use a computer generated scenes.
Eddie Bourdon: It is to our advantage and I couldn't agree with you more. It is to our
advantage to make sure that the entrance to this development is as a high quality as what
we have shown you, and we certainly don't want to have our own homes detract them.
William Din: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Eddie. If you would let the opposition speak and then we will be
more than happy to welcome you back.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Nancy Williamson.
Nancy Williamson: Good afternoon. My name is Nancy Williamson. I am the property
owner immediately south on this proposed development. There are two clarifications that
I would like to make for the attorney for Munden Corporation. I am the "lone wolf' who
is in the ARP. I don't mind that status. I would like to clarify that the other people v.to
are in the same region have had the same opportunity that I have. It is an opportunity that
is there for them even today. So,, if they would pursue it like as I did, they may not be
making this proposal. The comment that there is nothing there today, but what you're
looking at is not representing the proposal but there is nothing there today. I disagree
with that statement. There is farmland being cultivated there, and there is a priority in my
mind. There needs to be priority for that as much as for housing. You all saw a slide
presentation this morning concerning affordable housing in the City. I do not view half a
million dollar homes as being considered affordable housing schemes. So that is another
consideration that I think the Planning Commission needs to recognize. Another
clarification to the attorney's comments are this property has been in the Munden family
for over a century. That is not actually accurate. It was actually in the Land family for
over a century, which I'm also a member of that same family. This land came to the
Munden family by way of their mother, who was my aunt. My sister and I had half of the
land farm, and the Munden Brothers ended up with the other half by way of their mother.
So this started out by being a 150-acres of farm land, prime farm land. It is on the Pungo
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 6
Ridge. It is some of the best farm land in that area. To take it out of agricultural
possibility, it is detrimental to the agricultural community in Princess Anne in Virginia
Beach. A couple of the items that I would like to bring to your attention as to why I'm
opposed to this application.
Dorothy Wood: Ma'am, you have about 45 seconds.
Nancy Williamson: Thank you. The over development of Ashville Park and Heritage
Park. The over development of this area. The traffic. The congestion. There is already a
traffic problem on Princess Anne Road. There are issues of dust from borrow pits as well
as the farming activity. I have some requests that I put into my correspondence to you
concerning some conditions. I am very interested in fencing. The ditch is very easily
transversal. ATV's are very popular.
Ed Weeden: Ma'am, your time is up.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Ms. Williamson. We appreciate you coming down today.
Eddie, would like to reply quickly?
Barry Knight: Dot, can I ask Ms. Williamson some questions?
Dorothy Wood: Yes. Ms. Williamson would you please answer Barry's questions. I'm
sorry. I think the heat must have gotten to me.
Barry Knight: Ms. Williamson, I hear your concerns and read your letter. You are more
concerned about the over development of this property or is one of your concerns having
your farm land and the viability of keeping your farm land a viable farm next to this
development?
Nancy Williamson: I don't live on the property but I do rent the property to the family
that is on it. I have a sister who lives south of me. She is raising her children there.
Some of my concerns are related to the impact on the area as a result of this development.
There are 680 homes, I believe from Ashville and Heritage. That is congestion enough.
This is another 71. To me, it feels were going to fast. Doing too much, too fast. I don't
think the City has really felt the repercussions of Ashville and Heritage yet. And if you
approve another 71 single-family homes in the same facility, you could be in a position of
saying, "oops, we should have not went so fast."
Barry Knight: I understand that part of your opposition. I was wondering if that was the
main part or did you have a tremendous concern about having these houses to the next to
the farming operation. I know that Robert White farms. If it is just the development
we'll go towards that issue but if is towards protecting the viability of the farming, we
may be able to help with that a little bit if you like. What I propose with the concurrence
of the applicant is when you build homes down a rural service area, which is a little
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 7
further south than you are, you have something called an Agricultural Disclosure Form. I
think they would be agreeable from Lots 5 to Lots 25, which is on the southern boundary.
When they sell a lot they could have an Agricultural Disclosure Clause which states that
you're moving next to an agricultural district but yours is always going to be because you
sold your rights in perpetuity that you have to be cognizant of the fact that you have
sights, sounds, smells, and practices of the agricultural community. And, I believe if this
was passed today, and if they would agree and you would agree to put this verbage in
there, it may give you a little better commonwealth.
Nancy Williamson: Yes sir, it would. The other concern is trespassing. That is a
concern. The trees don't quite do it. They take a long time to grow. The berm definitely
doesn't do it because an ATV goes over a berm very easily. The ditch doesn't stop
anybody. I can travel that ditch myself today.
Barry Knight: As far as the trespassing part, I like the idea of the landscaping when you
can't see through that and it grows, do you think if, it wouldn't be a detriment to the
farming operation if they even and put more angle on the ditches.
Nancy Williamson: I don't think the ditch would prohibit the ever popular ATVs. That
is a main concern.
Barry Knight: I think it does. I own a fairly amount of farmland. Mr. Horsley does a lot
of farming and there are certain ditches that you can go across with your ATV and there
are certain ditches that you're not going to go across.
Nancy Williamson: Okay. So, if there was a condition placed on the development that
they place a ditch of the caliber of which were speaking then I can go there. I had in my
comments, and I guess I resorted to a fence, something that would stop the person from
traveling. That is what I went too but I know that the canal in the back is of adequate
size, and usually full of water that would deter someone from trying to cross it. But the
existing ditch way between my property and the Munden property is not adequate to
deter. It has something to be placed there. If it is not wrought iron fence of adequate
height to prevent someone from climbing over it, then it has to be adequate depth in
ground to keep them from traveling that.
Barry Knight: Mr. Horsley knows that if we have enough grade to go back to the large
ditch in the back, and that is a very, very large ditch. I'm very familiar with it. If you
have enough slope or what they call a one to one grade with a little deeper, Mr. White is
going to like that because it is going to facilitate the drainage on the farm also.
Nancy Williamson: Okay. The low area in the back of my property, they have always
called the low land. I understand what you're saying. That would have to be a condition
of the applicant to put that ditch there and to maintain that ditch.
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 8
Barry Knight: Well, we'll ask him.
Nancy Williamson: Okay. That would be something that I would come back with and
ask if that could be done. Thank you Mr. Knight.
Eugene Crabtree: I have one question.
Dorothy Wood: Yes, Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: You're addressing the ATVs. Do you have a problem with them in the
current moment? Are they going across your property now? Are they inhibiting the
agricultural operation that is on your property currently?
Nancy Williamson: You don't have the occupancy level there right now. It is all vacant
land.
Eugene Crabtree: I realize that.
Fancy Williamson: What I'm commenting on is homes that are going to be totally
occupied by juveniles and teenagers that is in that ever popular sport. There is a lot of
open land there and it is very enticing. That is what I would see young teenagers going
to. They don't have to have a license. It is just freewheeling. Like I said, I don't live on
the property so I can't tell you if someone is doing that currently. But it is always a
concern of the farmers if there is trespassing through their crop.
Eugene Crabtree: Maybe if we don't suggest that they use ATV's maybe they won't have
them.
Nancy Williamson: Well, just as you say if two cars lodge on a house, you have to
realize there is probably going to be more than two vehicles at that home because you got
teenagers that drive, and the traffic. Something you can put on paper but the reality we all
know that a two car garage family is probably going to be three and maybe four cars.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Ms. Williamson? Thank you so much
for coming down today.
Nancy Williamson: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Eddie, do you have a few words?
Eddie Bourdon: Given the heat, I will certainly keep it to a few words. First of all, with
regard to ATVs, we will very gladly place a restriction against the open spaces being used
by ATVs.
Item #3
Munden Land, L.L.C.
Page 9
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: I'm fairly certain the same is true with regard to Heritage Park. I can't
speak to Ashville Park. The last thing that these homeowners in this area buying these
houses are going to be subjecting themselves to, and on their land, which is what all this
open space is. They own it and maintain it as an Association is ATVs. So, the deed
restrictions for the community will prohibit the use of ATVs in any of the open space
area. But in addition to that, we will certainly, as long as the drainage and all works
deepen that ditch that is along the southern boundary. That is easily done, and we
certainly have no problem re -grading and deepening that ditch. The Agricultural
Disclosure Provision in the contract, we will be happy to put it in all the contracts. It is
simple enough to do. We don't have an aversion or problem with that. I would point out
one other thing. The borrow pits that are located across Princess Anne Road to the west
of the site, both the EV Williams pit and the existing Baillio pit, and then the Gunther Pit,
which is on Seaboard Road, and as the crow flies is not that far away. All of those pits
within the next couple of years are going to be no longer be borrow pits. I understand Mr.
Baillio is seeking to expand and dig a little bit more south of where he currently is but
just to make sure that everyone is aware of that, and I actually have an application that is
being filed with regard to the Williams and the existing Baillio pit, which will be coming
forward in a few months. Long before these homes were built on this property those
borrow pits will no longer be borrow pits.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Are there any comments? Questions?
Motion? Yes sir.
Barry Knight: I know that Ms. Williamson has come along way today and I appreciate it.
Mr. Horsley and I would like to preserve agriculture as much as we can and we are glad
that she is ARP Program. I would like to make a motion to approve this application with
a modification of proffers between here and Council that the lots in the Munden, L.L.C.
has a disclosure clause on their deed, and that they expand the ditch on the southern
boundary.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Barry. Do I have a second?
Donald Horsley: I'll second it.
Dorothy Wood: A second by Mr. Horsley. A motion by Barry Knight. Mr. Miller.
Robert Miller: I need to abstain from this vote. My firm is working on the project.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Mr. Ripley.

Dear Planning Commission Chair:
On Wednesday, July 13, 2005, the Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a
public hearing on the application for zoning reclassification submitted by Munden Land
L.L.C. The application includes the development of 71 single-family homes on Princess
Anne Road, just south of Sandbridge Road, in Transition Zone III. I need to share with
you my strong opposition to this application.
I am the property owner of the 39-acre farmland that is immediately south of the
Munden parcel. My property was accepted in the Agricultural Reserve Program in 2001
and continues to be cultivated by a local farmer. My objections to the proposed
development include:
• Development of single-family homes is not compatible with the general
agricultural nature of this corridor of Princess Anne Road; the rest of the property
fronting Princess Anne Road from Sandbridge Road to Flanagan's Lane is
currently either being farmed or is in the Open Space Program;
• Even though approximately 680 single-family homes are being built in the
Heritage Park and Ashville Park developments, building more homes in this area
will contribute to what is now commonly viewed as over -development;
• The number of vehicles resulting from 71 homes with double -car garages could
potentially add approximately 150 vehicles to an area that is already experiencing
congestion;
• The three sand pits that are currently operating along the stretch of Princess Anne
Road from Flanagan's Lane to Sandbridge Road create a high volume of trucks
hauling sand; these trucks create hazards from the dust they generate, the speed
they travel and the well-known disregard the truck drivers seem to have for other
vehicles; an increase in the number of vehicles from this proposed development
will only accelerate this existing problem;
• There is a potential negative impact from the Munden development on the
drainage of my property and the canal ditch that runs along the back of my
property and the Munden property; I am not yet aware of any environmental
studies that have been conducted on this issue;
Even though I object to the project in its entirety, I understand the Planning
Commission and the City Council have many concerns to balance when making decisions
in these types of cases. If the Planning Commission concludes the rezoning is in the best
interest of the city and recommends approval of the application, I must request the
following conditions be placed on the project:
1. Increase the tree line buffer on the south side of the Munden property to
minimize the impact of dust that is a natural by-product of a farming
operation;
2. Shift the entire development design northward to allow more distance between
the back property lines of lots 5, 6,7, 13 through 18, and 24, 25 and 26. (I
question whether the approximate 30' from the back of lots 5 and 6 to the
development property line meets the minimum city requirements); the
repositioning northward of the entire development will further minimize the
occasions for complaints related to the noise and dust from tractors and other
farming activities;
3. Construct a fence of at least 10' in height along the entire southern property
line from Princess Anne Road to the canal ditch at the back of the
development. The fence should be constructed of a material substantial
enough (possibly wrought iron) to restrict both pedestrian and vehicular
trespassing and also, would not be easily subject to vandalism.
Please do not view these conditions as an automatic concession from me. I
remain strongly opposed to the entire application. I believe if this development is
approved, then the city will have lost an opportunity to maintain a balance between the
demands for housing and the demands for agriculture. There are other areas in Virginia
Beach where housing can be developed, but the number of agricultural sites is fast
declining. Once the farmland is gone, you can never get it back. I believe both the short-
term and the long-term future of Virginia Beach would be more enhanced by preserving
as much agricultural property as possible.
Thank you for your kind attention and consideration of my views.
Sincerely,
Nancy E. Williamson

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing The Enlargement Of A Nonconforming Use
On Property Located At 2222 Bayberry Street, In The Lynnhaven
District
MEETING DATE: August 23, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Brian K. Callahan for the Enlargement of a
Nonconforming Use on property located at 2222 Bayberry Street (GPIN
15905087030000). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN
■ Considerations:
The subject site is located within the Cape Story by the Sea neighborhood. This
area was rezoned on October 11, 1965 from R-D2 Residence Duplex to R-S4
Residence Suburban District. When this zoning was approved the existing
duplexes became nonconforming. This subject site zoned R-7.5 Residential
District is one of those nonconforming duplexes, measuring only 6,900 square
feet in size. The duplex meets the setbacks required in the R-7.5 District. Any
change to the duplex requires City Council approval pursuant to Section 105(d)
of the City Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is requesting approval for
modifications and additions to the duplex as follows:
1. Add a new covered porch extending 8.7 feet in depth from the existing
west wall (front).
2. Create a new covered porch extending from the front door of the front unit
to the addition and extend the south wall of the existing rear duplex.
3. Create a two story addition to the rear duplex unit.
■ Recommendations:
Section 105(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance states that no nonconforming use or
structure shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered
unless the City Council finds that the proposed use will be "equally appropriate or
more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity."
The existing duplex is a one story brick structure built in 1965. The duplex is
divided so that equal sized units are located at the front and rear of the building.
The applicant proposes to add a front porch to the front single story unit and a
side covered entry to both the front and rear entry. The applicant also proposes
approximately 350 SF of first floor space to the rear unit and an estimated 1100
SF second story to the rear duplex unit with a second story deck.
The proposed modifications to the rear of the existing duplex do not extend
beyond the setbacks already established. The lot coverage for the existing
structure is below the 35% allowed in the R-7.5 District. The new enlargement
will not exceed the 35% lot coverage.
The proposed enlargement to the rear unit of the duplex has been designed to
ensure a well -composed fagade. From the street the appropriate massing of the
addition does not overpower the site nor detract from the neighborhood. The rear
duplex addition is within R-7.5 zoning setback requirements for conforming
structures.
Part of the expansion is a porch that would extend 8.7 feet from the existing front
duplex. This extension is within the thirty-foot front yard setback of the R-7.5
zoning. This setback is evident throughout the street where a majority of homes
are in line with the existing duplex's front setback. It is staff's position that the
porch should not be included as it expands the footprint and encroaches into the
30 front yard setback required for conforming structures in this zoning district.
Staff finds the proposed structure minus the front porch equally appropriate to the
zoning district. Staff recommends approval of this request with the recommended
conditions below.
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the physical survey
minus the front porch addition titled "Physical Survey of Lot 117 Plat of Cape
Story by the Sea Section One Virginia Beach, Virginia for Brian K. Callahan &
Ruth A. Callahan" prepared by Hoggard/Eure Associates which has been
exhibited to City Council and on file in the Department of Planning.
2. The duplex shall be developed in substantial conformance with the elevations
minus the front porch addition titled "Additions and Renovations for Mr. & Mrs.
Brian Callahan" prepared by D.W. Chase Architect.

GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
15905087030000 5 - LYNNHAVEN 6,900 square feet
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject site is located within the Cape Story by the Sea neighborhood. This area was rezoned on
October 11, 1965 from R-D2 Residence Duplex to R-S4 Residence Suburban District. When this change
in zoning was approved the existing duplexes became nonconforming.
This subject site zoned R-7.5 Residential District is one of those nonconforming duplexes, measuring only
6,900 square feet in size. The duplex meets setbacks required in the R-7.5 District. Any change to the
duplex requires City Council approval pursuant to Section 105(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant is requesting approval for modifications and additions to the duplex on the site as follows:
1. Add a new covered porch extending 8.7 feet in depth from the existing west wall (front).
2. Create a new covered porch extending from the front door of front unit to the addition and extend
the south wall of the existing rear duplex.
3. Create a two story addition to the rear duplex unit.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within the Primary Residential Area. The land use
planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area provides a framework designed to
protect and stabilize the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable
neighborhoods located in this area. In general, the established type, size and relationship of land use,
both residential and non-residential, located in and around neighborhoods should serve as a guide when
considering future development.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Section 105(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance states that no nonconforming use or structure shall be
enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered unless the City Council finds that the proposed
use will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity."
The existing duplex is a one story brick structure built in 1965. The duplex is divided so that equal sized
units are located at the front and rear of the building. The applicant proposes to add a front porch to the
front single story unit and a side covered entry to both the front and rear entry. The applicant also
proposes approximately 350 SF of first floor space to the rear unit and an estimated 1100 SF second
story to the rear duplex unit with a second story deck.
The proposed modifications to the rear of the existing duplex do not extend beyond the setbacks already
established. The lot coverage for the existing structure is below the 35% allowed in the R-7.5 District.
The new enlargment will not exceed the 35% lot coverage.
The proposed enlargement to the rear unit of the duplex has been designed to ensure a well -composed
facade. From the street the appropriate massing of the addition does not overpower the site nor detract
from the neighborhood. The rear duplex addition is within R-7.5 zoning setback requirements for
conforming structures.
Part of the expansion is a porch that would extend 8.7 feet from the existing front duplex. This extension
is within the thirty-foot front yard setback of the R-7.5 zoning. This setback is evident throughout the
street where a majority of homes are in line with the existing duplex's front setback. It is staff's position
that the porch should not be included as it expands the footprint and encroaches into the 30 front yard
setback required for conforming structures in this zoning district.
Staff finds the proposed structure minus the front porch equally appropriate to the zoning district
Staff recommends approval of this request with the recommended conditions below.
