DATE February 4, 2003 ■ Background briefing on the City s telecommunications services was provided to city Council on January 7 2003 During the briefing, multiple questions were raised by Council members Vice Mayor .Jones and Councilman Schmidt agreed to meet with the Department of Communications and Information Technology CornIT to gain a more in- depth understanding of the telecommunication service needs, and the proposed upgrades and equipment replacements Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Schmidt met with the Chief Information officer and members of ComlT on January 277 2003 to work through the questions in detail In addition, answers to questions raised during the January " briefing have been provided to City Council members as part of the City Managers weekly package Adequate telephone and telecommunications services are vital to City departments' and agencies ability to communicate with and serge citizens In order to effectively serge the vast variety of needs, the City operates an internal `phone company" which manages all the equipment and services, aggregates purchasing to insure the best volume pricing and plans for needed upgrades to ensure quality service for both citizens and City departments By operating this internal phone company" instead of purchasing all phone service directly from service providers the City reduces service costs by approximately 20% and reduces operations costs by approximately o Additionally, the investment in and operation of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone switch results in cost avoidance of approximately $600,,000 per year in comparison to a telephone company provided Centrex solution In order to maintain this cost advantage, periodic replacement and upgrade of equipment is necessary Our internal "phone company", the Telecommunications Division of comIT, provides telephone services supporting approximately 3,500 Municipal center campus users and oo users at Social Services, as well as 70 City remote sites with over 2, oo users The division provides the vast majority of its services to City agencies and users However it also serves School Administration offices located on the Municipal Center campus but does not provide services to other school sites The requested funding will address the following needs Upgrade of the existing PBX phone switches at the Municipal Center and Social Services This upgrade will primarily alloy the two phone switches to back each other up Should one switch fail, the other would be able to quickly switch over and handle phone service thereby ensuring our citizens' access to the City by telephone is maintained The upgrades will also add caller ID services and increased capacity to support future growth Upgrade of the Automatic Call Distribution System (ACD), which is at full capacity We are currently unable to add users and functionality for administration, thus limiting the service capabilities of the City's high volume telephone -based call center service activities These centers handle large volumes of citizen calls for service Upgrade of 15 remote saes with connection back to the !Municipal center These are the oldest saes out of the 41 remote saes with significant telephone equipment The remaining 26 sites will be upgraded in future years Upgrade of the current Voice Mail system purchased in 1992, which is at capacity We are currently unable to add any new users to the voicemail system This upgrade will increase our capacity by more than 0%, ensuring our ability to support future growth and enabling us to move current voice mail users relying on telephone company provided voice mail to the City -owned system Once fully implemented, this will reduce the City's expenditures for telephone company provided voice mail by an estimated $57 000 per year Replacement of approximately 1,200 of the oldest Municipal center phones, which are in excess of 10 years old This is approximately one-third of the Municipal center phones The remaining two-thirds will be replaced in futu re yea rs ■ Considerations The Telecommunications Division has identified services and equipment necessary to provide the required upgrades and support From preliminary proposals, it is estimated that the total cost in FY2002-03 will be approximately $1,240,000 The Information Technology Internal Service Fund retained earnings will be used to fund the projects listed above The Information Technology Internal service Fund retained earnings has available funding to support this request with no impact on the General Fund ■ Pudic Information Public Information would be handled through the normal Council Agenda public information process ■ Alternatives An alternative is to continue to operate at the current level, utilizing the current telephone equipment Without the proposed solution,, service deliverer to citizens by City agencies will be negatively impacted due to equipment failures, lack of additional voice mailboxes, and other equipment concerns Delaying planned upgrades will most likely increase the ultimate cast ■ Recommendations It is recommended mended that City Council authorize 1,,240,000 from the Information

Background The process to replace the Pavilion Theatre began in 2001 W11th the decision by city council to demolish the existing theatre with the construction of the new convention center The city retained Theatre Projects consultants to assess the cultural needs of the community and to determine the scope of the theatre project The public involvement process included two evening public dialogues, web site surveys a programming schedule charette" with arts groups, and interviews with over 75 arts groups and community leaders, all designed to gather views and critical information for a series of subsequent reports from the consulting team The Needs Assessment Report recommended that a 1000 -1200 -seat multipurpose theatre be built to fill the significant local and regional gap in that size of theatre and maximize rental days gross revenues for the local arts groups and programming possibilities The consultants stated that a 120 -seat theatre meets the present and future needs of the local and touring groups promotes the development of the arts in Virginia Beach, and provides the greatest potential impact to Tern center Council initially discussed a project of $20M for the FY02 Capital Improvement Project Budget and in a letter from Mayor Oberndorf and Vice Mayor sessoms dated February 27, 2001, the Mayor and Vice -Mayor suggested that 0M is not envisioned to cover the total public cost of a new theatre, and that a new theatre "can easily cost between $1 5M to $45M " eity council passed a resolution endorsing the Town center as the site for the Theatre due to the site's central location, good regional access, proximity to retail and restaurants and desirable mixed land use development potential, and in May 2002 council appropriated a total of ! in public capital funding for the construction of the theatre city Council also tasked the Advisory Committee to explore additional funding through private sources to reach the requisite $50M total budget

fund-raising feasibility study by The Kellogg Organization, Inc, that outlined one strategy to close the gap in capital funding The Kellogg Organization concluded that a successful fund-raising campaign, combined with user fees and the $35M of city funds previously committed in the CIP budget, will provide the capital funds necessary for the construction of the $50M, 1200 - seat facility ■

requests were deferred to the October 8 City Council meeting in anticipation of Transxtion Area study being conducted The requests were deferred again on October 8 to January 14, 2003, in order to allow the Transition Area Technical Advisory Committee time to complete the work given to them by the City Council On December 30, 2002, the applicant submitted a revised plan and proffers for this development The applicant submitted the reprised plan and proffers in order to bring the plan into closer consistency with ghat the applicant perceives the Harbour Development Page 2 of recommendations of the Transition Area Technical Advisory Committee (TATAC) will be Considerations The applicant is requesting a Change of Zoning district classification from AG -1 and AG -2 to Conditional R-30, a Conditional Use Permit for an Open Space Promotion, and a Subdivision Variance to reduce the required street width The applicant's revised plan proposes to develop a 65 1 acre site into 65 residential lots resulting in an overall density of 1 dwelling unit per acre The request consists of a Conditional Use Permit for R-30 open Space Promotion that allows the square footage of the home sites to be a minimum of 18,000 square feet, afthough the actual size of the proposed lots ranges between 18,057 and 24,820 square feet This allows a greater percentage of the parcel to remain in 96open space" for park space (passive recreation ,n this case) and scenic vistas with the goal of creating openness wirthxn the development as one travels through it Approximately 32 acres of land o percent of the total area) will be dedicated to passive recreational open space The minimum open space requirement of the R-30 open space promotion option is 15 percent During the past reviews of this stern by the Crty Council, Staff provided an assessment of this proposal's consistency with the "Tr nsthon Area Matrix which was developed at the request of the City council as a set of criteria for assessing a development's consistency with the Comprehensive Plan's polices for the Transition Area The Matnx was used to calculate the potential densrty of development proposal in the transition area This development consistently scored high on the Matrix, with a density allowing 64 lots The current plan, however, has not been assessed against the Matrix, as a revised Matrix is currently in draft form as part of the work of the TATAC A cursory assessment of the plan against the daft Matrix reveals that the plan would probably score high Agan, however, the Matrix is in draft form and has not been adopted as policy by the Planning Commission or city Council The proffers have also been revised to be consistent with the open space acreage numbers and other provisions of the revised plan The proffers also include an increase the amount of money contributed to the City per lot for the purpose of acquiring land for open space purposes consistent with the Outdoors Play The amount has increased from $750 to $1000 The Planning Commission placed this stern on the consent agenda because the plan creates a high quality neighborhood that has been designed to preserve a large amount of open space, staff recommended approval and there was no opposition to the request Recommendations In order to adhere to the process contemplated by City Council when the TATAC was established, the following schedule should be followed Harbour Development Page 3 of 1 This application should be deferred to the February 4, 2003 Council meeting 2 The Planning Commission, to whom the report of the TATAC is to be made., has received a draft copy of the report and will receive the final report on Monday, January 13, as well as a briefing from the staff 3 The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the plan on Monday, January 27, at which the public should be given a chance to comment on it The Planning Commission should thea forward any comments it may have to the City Council The City Council will accept the plan from the TATAC including any comments from the Planning Commission, if any, on January 28 Following these steps, the city Council, beginning on February 4, should he ready to consider pending, previously deferred rezoning applications, including this one, in the Transition Area deferral of this item to February 4, 2003 is, therefore,

Right well, if it delineated before the tree's cut it's not wetlands du Bourdon What's correct John Baum In last October, they become no longer wetlands and you could do anything you want to and soon as you work it, it looks greasy and wet and everything else, but, that's government reasoning Eddie Bourdon You're absolutely correct Ronald Ripley Mr Scott So much time and effort has been spend developing additional guidelines, addhtional approaches to properties in the Transition Area that are up for development This property seems to — it seems to meet the critena and I think, from nay opinion that the developer and the staff have done an excellent lob in putting this together would you like to comment on this because this is a little more sensitive area then we typically deal with here Robert Scott I would I appreciate the opportumty I can't think of an area that's been more difficult for us to deal with than in the policy areas related to the developing of the Transition Area over the last nine months or so In fact, some people would say longer than that But recently, we've developed with the Planning Conumssion's help, a matrix for evaluating these applications and eve' ve consistently applied thein to applications that have come in over the last several months now In this ease, first of all let Mme say that the matrix takes into account a number of different factors It takes into account the design of the subdivision It takes into account the appearance from the street Takes into account protection of natural resources It takes into account the design and the layout and the relationship of open space to the development In all of Chose cases two things can be said First of all, I do affirmatively believe that Council is comfortable with the direction we are heading from a policy point of view on every one of triose issues They expressed that through their words and through their actions And also, I can say that the application here rate very high no every one of those points It does not rate particularly high on the issue of lot sizes and the way lot saes are employed throughout the subdivision but I can in good faith say I have the same degree of comfort about Council s vier on that point Council has not express to us as they have with those other Item #27, 2 Harbour Development Corp Page 3 points a level of comfort with our approach to lot sizes And I thunk the fact is something that we need to work on further and we are working on further And we hope that we can bring to a truthful conclusion with all the parties involved The difficulty that our staff in thas is askung the developer to amend his plans to accommodate a policy we're not sure Council is comfortable with I would really have a difficulty with that So, I think it just needs to be noted that where as the matrix one when applied as drafted — I think 62 lots on its property we are recommending the 66 because the short conngs is in an area of doubt that we have about how solid everybody is on the polices related to lot size in that area we felt that it was probably inappropnte to hold an applicant responsible for building or complying with the condition that evidentially lacks a level of confidence And I just think that needs to be noted so that everybody knows where were coning from I do have a great deal of faith generally in the approach of applying thus matrix I think it does some good I thunk it provides clarity I thunk it provides some points that people can see and understand and relate to easily And I think it s something that we would hke to continue to do By enlarge this application has matched up very well against it and my write up reflects that But I did want to make sure that the Planning Con-irmsion knows about that cue point and why we differed on that one point regarding the matnx and what our reason beland that was If you feel that our reasoning is not sound and that we should have gorse in a different direction, well you have the facts here at your disposal to do that But I felt it was encumbered upon us to explain why we did what we did with the matrix and as it relates to this application I appreciate the chance to explain that Ronald Ripley Thank you Dot's Eddie Bourdon i gust want to add one thing I forgot to add My clients also met with the group out there on N Landing Road, one of the primary members Ding another former Cirri Dick Cockrell we've met with all the folks who live out in Haat area I wanted to let the Conurussion know that as well Dorothy wood Thank you Mr Bourdon Again number 27 28 & 29 is

north and the clearly rural area of the south Land uses and densities must not be a Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, L L C # 27, 2 Page YM� continuation of erther form, but a transition from one to the other" (page 72) The Plan recommends that residentFal development in this area adhere to the following guidelines Create high quality neighborhoods through careful planning of land uses, transportation systems, landscape treatments and public improvements (Page 72 Policy Document) Staff Comment The goal is to create a sense of openness by maintaining large, landscape entrance (approximately 6 acres) and swath of open space through the arterior of the site The applicant has proposed a neighborhood that maintains scenic vistas as erre travels through the development and incorporates an extensive pedestrian trail system throughout with thought to future connections as well Along with the Irl -planned pedestrian system, park beaches and lame picnic shelters are proposed within the open space area Design with nature, making a special effort to preserve and showcase significant environmental resources Carefully integrate such natural features and use them as a basfs, where possible, to enhance and define neighborhoods, recreation areas, open spaces, and views of special natural areas (page 2 Staff Comment The amount of significant environmental features on this site was limited A stand of trees exists rn the southeast corner of the site It was essential that this single environmental feature be Incorporated into the overall design of the subdivision in terms of the number of homes in the wooded area, minimizing the size of the lots, particularly in this area of the site, arra forethought on the actual location of the proposed homes within the goads so as to minimize disturbance The desIgn establishes a means for an expectation that adjacent parcels, should they ever develop, respect the efforts to maintain a natural buffer of value In addition to preserving the majonty of the gees within this stand, open areas are proposed in strategic locations along the roadway to establish a sense of openness as one travels through the development Construct local roads with minimal pavement width, wide shoulders and side swales Include a well-planned pedestrian circulation system to connect neighborhoods, recreational areas and open spaces Minimize through consolidation of the number of street accesses to arterial roadways (page 73) Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 ARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, L L c f # 279 Page Staff Comment The proposed 50 foot nght-of-way that serves as the single access to North Landing Road is a departure from the typrcal urban interior road design of 30 feet of pavement The road width will be 24 feet with four (4) feet of paved shoulder on ether side of the road Beyond the pavement, adjacent to the street, streetlights and street trees are proposed A free (5) foot verde concrete srdewalk is proposed beyond the trees and lights that serve as a buffer between the pedestrian and vehicular traffic A Swale is then proposed within a ten (10) foot utility and drainage easement As discussed above, a network of trails and sidewalks is proposed within the development with future potential connections with adjacent properties • Growth in this area should be viewed as a special type of development with rts owe standards suitable to the character of the area The development standards should be environmentally sensitive, including narrow streets with less pavement, rural drainage techniques and appropriate aesthetic treatments The transition area is to be seen as a recreational mecca with residential development only if it supports the primary purpose of advancing open space and recreafional uses Residential uses without an open space element are not encouraged (page 73) Staff Comments This development proposal consists of 25 2 acres or 3 percent of the 65 1 acres as dedicated passive open space In addition, the applicant has proffered $750 00 per lot for a total o $48,, 750 00 to be used for the purchase of open space pursuant to the City's' Outdoors Plan The cash proffer, combined with the amount of open space and the "usa[ i o" of the proposed open areas, lends support to the conclusion that this project appears to qualify as one that will advance public accessibility to open space and recreational uses with the residential component as minor Development that tales place in the transition area should be fis all r neutral Fiscally neutral means that development must both a generate more in tax revenue than the public services cost to support it, and b be of such a density that, when coupled with existing and potential development in the area, a will not generate the need for substantial infrastructure improvements As an altemative to fiscal neutrality, cash proffers offset negative fiscal impacts can be considered In the absence of a finding of fiscal neutral, there should be an extraordinary public benefit to be derived from the project (page 74) Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, L L C / # 27,128 & 2 Pada 8 staff Comment vhde the cash proffers could aid in balancing projects that do not appear to be fiscally neutral, the proposed cash proffers in this instance are specifically designated for the purchase of open space In light of this, upon examination of the quality of the building materials and the value and amenities within the open space and the character of the surrounding development, these houses will have a value of approximately $350.,000 to $450,000 and up In addition., access to water and sewer is available along North Landing Road, however, plans and bonds for construction of both the water and sewer systems will be required The development will not generate the need for the City to incur any substantial expense due to infrastructure improvements The Department of Public Utilities is currently upgrading the existing system along this portion of North Landing Road • The entire project should be developed at a density that is the lowest of the following 1 establishes the residential as secondary, 2 assures that the protect is in keeping with the character of the transition area, and 3 generates no more traffic than the equNalent of one (1) dwelling unit per developable acre (page 74) Staff Comment At the request of City Council, staff developed a set of criteria for assessing a development's consistency with the Comprehensive Plans policies for the Transition Area The result was the establishment o f a "Transition Area Matrix" that is now used to calculate the potential density of a development proposal in the transition area Application of the matrix to the submitted plan resulted in a final "rating„ that would allow a maximum of 64 dwelling units on the property The applicant is requesting 65 units A factor that must be entered into the equation: however, is the fact that the matrix calls for variation in lot size for the purpose of clustering and gaining open space This component of the plan scored relatively low A significant issue, however, is the recent opinion expressed by several City Council members to other rezoning applicants in the Transition Area to have a min1mum lot size of 20, 000 square feet This applicant, knowing that several Council members expressed that opinion, redesigned the proposed layout a number of trines to increase the lot sizes to the desired 20, 000 square feet while still trying to achieve the other objectives as expressed by the Transition Area Density Matrix The result is a plan that scores high on almost all of the matrix Mems except the one calling for variation in lot sizes The scored matrix is included at the end of this report Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, LL C 1 2 Page • The need for widening roads should not be necessary to accommodate the proposed development Projects of high merit and low density should be favored Staff Comment The construction of 65 homes on this property will not necessitate modification to the existing roadway Traffic Engineering staff from the Department of Public Works have reviewed the plan and have concluded that North Landing Road is under its capacity Summary of Proposal Pr000sal The applicant is proposing to develop a 65 1 acre site into 65 residential lots resulting in an overall density of 1 dwelling unit per acre The request consists of a Conditional Use Permit for R-30 open Space Promotion that allows the square footage of the home saes to be a minimum of 18,000 square feet However, the proposed lots range in size from 20,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet The reduction from 30,000 square feet as required under straight R-30 zoning allows a greater percentage of the 65 acre parcel to remain in "ope "opi space" for park space (passive recreation in this case) and scenic vistas with the goal of creating openness within the development as one moves through it In addition to the use permit, a rezoning application is required to change the u n de ri jng zoning frorn AG -1 & AG -2 Agricultural District to R-30 residential D istnct • A subdivision variance is also sought as the proposed and preferred road design is atypical of City standards for a residential street The proposed road section depicts the use of swales for drainage and a smaller width of asphalt (24 feet rather than the required 30 feet) In addition, the sidewalk is not directly adjacent to the roadway but rather buffered from vehicular traffic with street trees and street lighting Site Design • The concept plan depicts a single entrance into the proposed development off of North Landing Road Masonry walls parallel to North Landing Road on each side of the entrance road are proposed There are approximately six (6) acres of passroe open space, free from development, as one enters the site A large entry feature is proposed within this open space area The rendering of the entry feature dei cls a predominately reddish brick outdoor pavilion with a cupola on the dark color roof and dentis molding surrounding the top The design of the pavilion is consistent with the Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, L L c ## 279 28 & 2 Page 1 Princess Anne Commons Guidelines and complementary to the municipal center and the historic, rural character of the area --- • The central feature of this subdivision plan is a swath of open green space within the interior of the development A majority of all of the dwelling units will face or directly back up to some form of open space —either passive recreational open space or a lake (stormwater management pond) The homeowners' association will maintain this open space • Twenty-five (25) acres of total open space is proposed with six (6) foot wide mulched pedestrian traits, park benches, and picnic shelters throughout Included gra the development is awell-planned pedestrian circulation system that internally connects the proposed neighborhood as well as future neighborhoods • Three (3) large stormwater management ponds are proposed and have been incorporated into the design of the subdivision as visual amenities • Two {2} future street connections are proposed to accommodate potential development of adjacent properties Vehicular and Pedestrian Access • Vehicular circulation within the development is acceptable Both the proffer agreement and the concept play indicate that nght and left tum lanes from North Landing Road will be constructed The proposed streets within the development reflect the rural character of the transition area as they propose less pavement width, wide shoulders and side swales The two (2) travel lanes are twelve (12) feet in width with four (4) feet of paved shoulder on both sides of the street Included in the development is a Drell -planned pedestrian circulation system that connects the dwelling unrts to the open space and prodes future pedestnan connections to adjoining properties as well Five foot aide concrete sidewalks within the rights-of-way are depicted on both sides of the streets with the exception f two 2 cul-de-sacs Architectural Design The Conditional Zoning

requirement of the R-30 open space promotion option is 15 percent �.` During the design phase of this development during discussions with staff, the applicant recognized that it was essential that the important environmental feature (the large stand of trees) be incorporated into the overall design of the subdivision Mn terms of the number of homes in the wooded area, partrculady in minimizing the size of the lots in this area of the site As a result, the actual location of the proposed homes within the woods has been predetermined so as to minimize disturbance The retention of a majority of the trees dictates an expectation that adjacent parcels, should they ever develop, respect the efforts to maintain a natural buffer of value In addition to preserving the majority of the trees within this stand, open areas are proposed in strategic locations along the roadway to establish a sense of openness This development attempts to create a high quality neighborhood that has been designed to preserve a large amount of open space and showcase the environmental resources on the site Staff approached the review of this pian in the Transition Area differently than one for a subdivision typically found in the northern part of the City This development is a special type of project with its awn development standards suitable to the atmosphere and character desired for this area Development Mn the Transition Area should be associated with significant open space and recreational amenities This development builds off of a centralized open space a well as additional pockets and "n bons" of open space at the property's penmeter These ribbons of open space aid in preventing an undesirable scenario, atypical of the rural character of the area, of back-to-back rear yards A substantial amount of the parcel (39 percent) will remain as undeveloped open areas, but perhaps equally important to the amount of land reserved for open space is the actual accessi ifr#y and usability of the proposed open areas A vast majority of the homes will back up to or be adjacent to erther open space or forested areas This includes lots 56 through 65 that will back up to a platted ingress. egress easement to the property to the west that varies in width from approximately 35 feet to 140 feet wide This easement will serve as a buffer to the existing uses to the gest Also included in the open space component is a Drell -planned pedestrian circulation system with extensive internal connections Along with the pedestrian system, park benches and large picnic shelters are proposed within the open space area Approximately six acres will he heavily landscaped as the entrance into the community from North Landing Road as well that will also aid Mn maintaining the rural vistas from the road At the request of City Council, staff developed a set of criteria for assessing a development's consistency with the Comprehensive p'lan's policies for the Tran sMon Area The result was the establishment of a "Transition Area M tnx'3 that is now used to Planning Commission Agenda June 12, 2002 HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT CORPORAMON, L L c 2, Page 1
