AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Sale of Excess City Property 201 Green Springs Court, Virginia Beach, Virginia
pursuant to Spot Blight Abatement Program
MEETING DATE: August 22,2006
. Background:
The City acquired 201 Green Springs Court in November 2004 pursuant to the
Spot Blight Abater:nent Program from Norma Latham and Troy W. Dettloff by
condemnation. The property was acquired after the owners failed for years to
address significant code violations. The existing structure is in need of extensive
repairs. When City Council authorized the acquisition of this property in 2004 to
remove the blight, City Council anticipated resale of the property to a private
developer who would rehabilitate the property.
An advertisement seeking proposals to purchase and repair or replace the house
ran in late October 2005. Only one proposal was received, which was rejected
because it was unreasonably low.
Between March and April 2006 "For Sale" signs were posted and a newspaper
ad was placed to again solicit proposals for the disposition of this property.
Thirteen responses were received by the deadline. A review committee made up
of representatives from the Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation, the Planning Department and Public Works/ Real Estate reviewed
the proposals. From previous discussions with City Council, the review
committee decided that the sales price of the property was not the single most
important criterion - that the city is looking for the best possible outcome --
revitalization/rehabilitation of the property. Based on this consideration, the
following criteria were used to evaluate the proposals: (1) Proposed
Repairs/Materials to Achieve Best Results; (2) Experience with Like Projects; (3)
Financial Capability; (4) Bid Amount to Purchase; and (5) References.
Based on these criteria, the review committee selected Gavin Builders, Inc.
("Gavin"), a Virginia corporation, to purchase the property for $115,500. Gavin's
proposal was the highest bid that also met the City's rehabilitation/revitalization
standards. Gavin proposes to invest approximately $80,000 to $90,000 in
rehabilitation and landscaping should the property be sold to it. The proposed
rehabilitation work includes (1) installing new kitchen cabinets and counter tops,
bathroom cabinet and fixtures, and front entry door and new windows; (2)
bringing HVACand electrical systems up to code; and (3) providing professional
termite treatment.
rehabilitation.
Gavin's proposal adequately addresses the necessary
. Considerations:
The review committee recommends that the property located at 201 Green
Springs Court be declared excess by City Council and sold to Gavin Builders,
Inc., a Virginia corporation.
. Public Information:
Requests for Proposal advertised in the Virginian-Pilot October 2005 and April
2006. Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section 15.2-1800 Code
of Virginia and advertisement of City Council Agenda.
. Alternatives:
Sell the property to Gavin, select among other proposals, or retain ownership.
. Recommendations:
Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to convey the
property subject to the terms and conditions in the attached and such other
terms, conditions or modifications as may be satisfactory to the City Council.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
FROM: James K. Spore, City Manager
ITEM: Temporary Lease/Use of City Park Property (Little Island District Park)
MEETING DATE: August 22,2006
Background:
~s you are aware, there is significant condominium construction occurring at the north end of
Little Island District Park in Sand bridge. The construction project is anticipated to last through
Spring 2008. The construction company, Clancey and Theys, has approached the Department
of Parks and Recreation with a request to allow its construction employees to park in a
designated area at Little Island District Park during the construction period. Temporary parking
spaces are being temporarily re-constructed in a previously used overflow parking area for their
use, resulting in no loss of parking spaces available for public use and no loss in parking
revenue.
In exchang~ for use of the temporary parking area, the construction company has agreed to
permanently donate as rent a Bob Cat Model T-250 Track Loader to the City. This piece of
equipment will be of great service to the park and will be used to remove wind-blown sand from
the formal parking areas, walkways, and other areas. The equipment will not be used to modify
or impact any established sand dunes. Additionally, upon completion of the construction
project, the construction company has agreed to return the temporary parking area back to its
original condition.
The total value of the Bob Cat Track Loader is $57,323. This agreement is not only cost
beneficial to the City, but also provides a viable solution to the parking congestion and related
safety issues caused by the construction employees along Sandpiper Road.
Recommendations:
Per my letter to you of June 14, 2006, request you authorize me (or my designee) to execute a
temporary lease of park property to be utilized by the construction company for its employee
parking until Spring 2008, and formally accept the Bob Cat Track Loader as rent for execution of
the lease.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Increase the Department of Museums FY 2006-07 Operating Budget by
$620,808 and Transfer $225,000 to Capital Project #3-039, "Contemporary Art Center
Renovations for Magna Carta 2007" for the Magna Carta Exhibition
MEETING DATE: Auqust 22, 2006
. Background: City Council established a Steering Committee in May 2002 for the
purpose of planning events and activities to commemorate the 400th anniversary in 2007 of the
1607 landing of the Jamestown settlers at Cape Henry. The Steering Committee recommended
an exhibition of an original 1215 exemplar of Magna Carta held by Lincoln Cathedral in England.
The exhibit will highlight the English ties to America and Virginia Beach. In November 2004,
City Council approved the expenditure of $100,000 toward a feasibility study and business plan.
The plan was presented to City Council in November 2005. Lincoln Cathedral has expressed
their continued commitment to lend the Magna Carta and other documents and artifacts to
Virginia Beach for the 2007 exhibit. The exhibition is scheduled at the Contemporary Art Center
of Virginia (CACV) for March 29 through June 17,2007. The CACV is ready to contract with a
Virginia design and fabrication firm which has extensive experience with high security exhibitry.
. Considerations: Overall, the cost of the exhibition, including building and system
upgrades, design, fabrication and installation, and operation for 81 days is projected at
$997,808. Currently, within the Department of Museums FY 2006-07 Operating Budget,
$152,000 is appropriated for the Magna Carta exhibit. Additional funding of $845,808 is
necessary to bring the Magna Carta to Virginia Beach. Of the $845,808, the Department of
Museums FY 2006-07 Operating Budget needs to be increased by $625,808 and funding of
$225,000 needs to be transferred to new Capital Improvement Project, #3-039 "Contemporary
Art Center Renovations for Magna Carta 2007."
Revenues are estimated to return $514,550 from ticket and merchandise sales, rental of
exhibit panels and sponsor donations. The remainder of the necessary funds for the Operating
Budget would come from Reserve for Contingencies in the amount of $106,258. As a part of
the project the City and the CACV will spit any profit 50/50. This profit will be determined after all
expenses and revenues have been incurred.
A new capital project, #3-039 "Contemporary Arts Center Renovations for Magna Carta
2007" would be created with the funds available from three capital projects. Funding totaling
$225,000 for permanent building improvements to the CACV is available from Capital Projects
#3-367 "Various Buildings Rehabilitation and Renewal Phase II" ($25,000), #3-366 "Various
Buildings HV AC Rehabilitation and Renewal Phase II" ($50,000), and #9-260 "Economic and
Tourism Development Partnerships" ($150,000). Investments from the City are necessary for
physical and systems upgrades to the City-owned CACV building to accommodate the needs of
the Magna Carta exhibit. These upgrades will remain as permanent enhancements to the
center.
The sources of funding are detailed below:

. Public Information: Public information and notification will be handled through the
Council agenda notification process.
. Recommendations: It is requested that City Council amend the Department of
Museums FY 2006-07 Operating Budget by $620,808 and transfer $225,000 from capital
projects #3-367, 3-366, and 9-260 to Capital Project #3-039, "Contemporary Art Center

wide range of legal services to the Board based on the expertise of the attorneys in numerous
specialized areas of the law.
6. Professional Jud2ment of City Attornev. The Virginia Rules of Professional
Conduct for the Legal Profession require the independent professional judgment of the Office of
the City Attorney on behalf of its clients.
7. Potential Ethical Conflicts. The City Council and the School Board recognize
that the potential for conflicting interests between the Council and School Board may arise and
that, in such cases, the City Attorney must refrain from representation of interests which may
conflict.
8. Identification of Conflicts. The City Council and the School Board also
recognize that they must work together and with the City Attorney to identify any real or
perceived potential for conflict at the earliest possible time, advise each other and the City

Councilor the School Board, and assist the City Attorney in avoiding any violation or
appearance of violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
9. Continuation of Services. The City Council and the School Board further
recognize that it remains in the best interest of the taxpayers of the City for the School Board to

perceived conflict is present, and to the extent the City Attorney is budgeted and staffed to
handle assigned legal business of the School Board.
Objectives:
The objective of this Cooperative Agreement is to define the scope and nature of the
relationship between the City Attorney's Office and the School Board, to provide for the delivery

if a majority of the members of the School Board expresses dissatisfaction with
the legal services provided by the dedicated attorney, or by any other attorney
providing services to the School Board, the City Attorney will meet with the
School Board to discuss and evaluate its concerns. Furthermore, if the School
Board and the City Attorney agree that the most reasonable way to address the
School Board's concerns is to assign another attorney or other attorneys to
represent the School Board, the City Attorney will use his best efforts to make
such an assignment(s) as soon as possible.
2. Communication and Reports. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the
Office of the City Attorney will maintain an open line of communication with the School Board

Bar, will continue representation of the City Council.
5. Abilitv to Provide Leeal Services. The City Council and the School Board
further recognize that the ability of the City Attorney's Office to provide legal services to the

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Approving the FY 2006-2007 State Performance Contract Between
the Virginia Beach Community Services Board and the Virginia Department of
Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services
MEETING DATE: August 22,2006
. Background: The Commonwealth of Virginia provides funding for mental health,
mental retardation and substance abuse services through the performance contract with
local Community Services Boards. The contract requires localities to specify how funds
will be used and the number of persons served with state, federal and Medicaid funding.
It also contains a number of outcome and patient information reporting requirements.
. Considerations: Under this contract the Commonwealth provides a substantial
amount of funding needed to maintain important services. As required by law, the
Community Services Board endorsed the performance contract at its July 27, 2006
meeting.
. Public Information: Public comment on the contract was solicited for 30 days,
pursuant to Code of Virginia 937.1-198. Copies of the proposed contract were placed in
a number of locations around the City, including Human Services offices, the Central
Library and the City Clerk's Office. The contract was also posted on the City's Internet
site.
. Alternatives: Pursuant to Code of Virginia 937.1-198, if City Council does not
approve the proposed performance contract by September 15, 2006, the contract shall
be deemed approved. Rejecting the performance contract would mean losing
$9,423,798 in State and Federal funding, and risking the loss of an additional
$14,614,836 in Medicaid and other fee revenues.
. Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached
resolution approving the FY 2006-2007 State Performance Contract between the
Virginia Beach Community Services Board and the Virginia Department of Mental
Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services.

ITEM: Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C. - Change of Zoning District
Classification, 2217 Matthews Green (DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE)
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2006
. Background:
Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C. for a Chanqe of Zoninq District
Classification from AG-1 Agricultural District to Conditional R-20 Residential
District with a PD-H2 Overlay on property located at 2217 Mathews Green (GPIN
2404949948). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE
This request was deferred at the July 18 City Council meeting at the request of
the applicant. No additional information has been provided to staff since that
meeting.
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing agricultural property in order to
develop a residential community consisting of 49 single-family lots. The applicant
has worked with staff to provide a proposal that conforms to the Comprehensive
Plan's recommendations for this area. The allowable density for the area is one
dwelling unit per developable acre provided the development meets certain
criteria defined within the Comprehensive Plan.
The site consists of 49.32 acres. There are non-tidal wetlands located in the
wooded area shown on the proffered plan; however, these wetlands are not the
type identified in the City Zoning Ordinance as being ineligible for density. Thus,
the entire 49.32 acre site is used for the purpose of determining residential
density. 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 49
units. Staff's evaluation reveals that this proposal is consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan as contained in the Transition
Area Design Guidelines.
In conjunction with this proposal, the applicant is proffering the dedication of land
to the City of Virginia Beach for the proposed realignment of Princess Anne
Road. The applicant also proposes to dedicate land to Nimmo Church as
additional buffer when Princess Anne Road is realigned. The applicant worked
with the two homeowners across Princess Anne Road next to Nimmo Church to
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
locate four of the residential lots to form a small neighborhood at the time of the
Princess Anne Road realignment. The applicant also coordinated with the
adjacent property owner across Mathews Green (veterinary clinic) to provide a
better access on Princess Anne Road for both properties.
In response to concerns from the adjoining neighborhood and from the Planning
Commission, the applicant revised the plan after the Planning Commission
hearing. The revision eliminates the potential for a direct roadway connection
between this proposed development and the adjacent Three Oaks neighborhood.
The revision does, however, include a pedestrian trail connection between the
two neighborhoods in lieu of the roadway connection, which was acceptable to
the adjoining neighborhood. The revised plan is attached. It should be noted that
the elimination of the direct roadway connection is contrary to the Subdivision
Ordinance's design standards for streets (Section 4.1.b). Such connections are
encouraged as a means of improving access to residential communities by
emergency response vehicles, school buses, public service vehicles, and
residents. City and School agencies, in their review of subdivision plans,
consistently emphasize the need for such connections.
There was opposition to the request.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
the request, as proffered.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

TO:
FROM:
Mr. James K. Spore, City Manager
Chief Gregory B. Cade, Fire
SUBJECT: Mathews Green
The original submittal for the above subdivision had plans that showed two entrances
off of Mathews Green and a neighborhood tie in with Kindling Hollow in Three Oaks.
The applicant submitted the proposal for residential development depicting connection
to the existing street tie within the adjacent neighborhood based on the City's
Subdivision Regulations Design Standards. Section 4.1.b.1 states "provide for
continuation or appropriate projection of existing arterial or collector streets in
surrounding area." In addition, on Mathews Green there is an entrance through the
veteri nary clinic on private property if there is a traffic interruption at Princess Anne and
Mathews Green.
During the Planning Commission meeting, the street connection on Kindling Hollow into
Three Oaks was closed and changed into a bike and walking path. This change is
unacceptable to the Fire and EMS Departments which view secondary access to
subdi visions as critical to service delivery. If the street connection is not acceptable, a
gated access can be negotiated that would be normally closed to through traffic. This
will provide for emergency access when the primary route is obstructed by traffic, trees,
wires down, snowdrifts, flooding or any other man made or natural incident that closes
the primary entrance. As a non-binding standard, Appendix 0 of the 2003 International
Fire Code, a nationally recognized document (attached), is referenced.

Dear MS. Prochilo:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposal
nade by Mathews Green Associates, LLC to develop a 49-home
community off Princess Anne Road, northeast of the Three Oaks
subdivision. The development 'site is zoned AGl and Mathews
Green Associates, LLC seeks a change to Conditional R-20 (PHD~
2). The land also lies wholly within the 65 to 70 dB DNL sound
contour.
The Navy'S Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ)
Program designates residential development in this contour as
incompatible. However, the 2005 Hampton Roads Joint Land Use
Study produced no constraints on development in the 65 to 70 dB
DNL sound contour. I therefore recommend that you invite
representatives of Mathews Green Associates, LLC to contact my
Community Planning Liaison Officer, Mr. Ray Firenze, should they
have any questions about the Navy's AICUZ Program or the
potential impact on this property from air operations at Naval
Air Station Oceana.
Mr. Firenze may be reached at (757) 433-3158.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): The
proposed Mathews Green subdivision as shown on the rezoning exhibit's site layout has a connection to
Princess Anne Road opposite Huckleberry Trail as the main neighborhood access point. This
intersection will allow both left and right turns to and from Princess Anne Road. The secondary access
point shown on Princess Anne Road at the existing intersection with Mathews Green, south of the
Princess Anne / General Booth Boulevard Road intersection is proposed to be closed to public traffic.
The segment of Princess Anne Road south of General Booth Boulevard will be improved to a four-lane
divided roadway as part of the Princess Anne Road Phase VII project which is currently scheduled for
construction in 2015.

The developer will be required to provide a right turn lane on Princess Anne Road at the proposed Mathews
Way intersection. Traffic engineering acknowledges that a standard right turn lane cannot be built because of
right-of-way limitations. Right-of-way requirement will be determined at the time of site plan review.
Associated with the connection to the Three Oaks neighborhood, the developer will be required to design and
install traffic calming devices such as median islands within the Mathews Green subdivision to discourage cut-
through traffic.
On the southbound (inbound) side of the median on the proposed Mathews Way from Princess Anne Road to
the median opening for the veterinarian entrance, the pavement width must be 24 feet. This width will allow
Mathews Green residential traffic to bypass vehicles waiting to turn into the veterinarian entrance.
The proposed left turn lane on Princess Anne Road at Mathews Way must meet Public Works Standards for
storage bay and taper length.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: A stormwater management plan for water quantity and quality in
accordance with the Public Works. Specifications and Standards must be developed for the proposed
subdivision and the four lots backing on the proposed Princess Anne Road Realignment.
Typically the size of stormwater management facilities range from 10 % to 15% of development. The proposed
stormwater management facility appears to be less than the range and may require reconfiguration.
The proposed development must ensure that the drainage of upstream property / drainage areas through the
property by sheet flow / conveyance system is maintained. Easements will have to be dedicated if the existing
sheet flow / conveyance system are blocked or redirected by development.
Any stormwater management plan must include lots 46 through 49.
WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an existing 16-inch water main in Mathews Green.
SEWER: There is no City sanitary sewer fronting this site along Mathews Green. City gravity sanitary sewer is
not available. Private grinder pumps and force main may be an option. If flows enter an existing pump station
area, analysis of the pump station and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure future flows
can be accommodated.
PARKS AND RECREATION: It is recommended that the proposed Open Space / Preservation Area be
dedicated to the City since this ensures that the Transition Area Buffer along the Princess Anne Road
Realignment and the trail system will be coordinated.
The walking path within the homeowner association open space must be a minimum of six feet wide and

plan review. Walking path must be designed with clear and open site lines in order to avoid blind
spots/corners. Landscaping along the pathway should be maintained (at maturity) at a height no greater than
three feet for shrubbery and lower than a height of seven feet for tree canopies.

site development on this soil is limited by severe wetness. Shallow excavations, dwellings, roads and lawns
may experience problems with wetness. (NOTE: this issue will be addressed through engineering calculations
and detailed site design during site plan review through the Development Services Center, should this
application be approved).
SCHOOLS:
School Current Capacity Generation 1 Change 2
Enrollment
Three Oaks Elementary 608 * 14.7 14
Princess Anne Middle 1542 1468 8.4 8
Kellam High 2388 1839 11.4 11
1 "generation" represents the number of students that the development will add to the school
2 "change" represents the difference between generated students under the existing zoning and under the proposed zoning. The
number can be positive (additional students) or negative (fewer students).
. Three Oaks Elementary capacity is currently being calculated based on the finished building layout and the initial student
population that began school here in September 2005.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within
the Transition Area / Princess Anne.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
"Policies of this Comprehensive Plan have been designed to ensure that the Transition Area continues to
be a well-planned area. Employment, mixed use, and residential centers, each with its own open space
and trail system, will be clustered along and connected to the public greenway offering a variety of quality
home and work environments," (p. 143, Policy Document).
The application for a conditional rezoning proposing 49 residential units on a 49.32 +/- parcel is in
keeping with the policies outlined for the Transition Area in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 'Within the
Transition Area, developers are encouraged to cluster housing and employ the most creative planning
and development techniques," (p. 141, Policy Document).

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the submitted proffers provided below.
The applicant has worked with staff to provide a proposal that conforms to the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. The allowable density for the area is one dwelling unit per developable
acre provided the development meets certain criteria defined within the Comprehensive Plan. The
developer strives for a minimum of 50% open space, which is used to mask the development from the
road and to provide a public passive recreational opportunity in the form of the proffered open space
dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach, keeping a substantial amount of trees and obscuring the view of
the future homes.
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 49 units for this 49.32 acre site. Staff concludes that this proposal is consistent with
the recommendations contained within the TAT AC report and as recommended in the Transition Area
Design Guidelines.
Additionally, the applicant has proposed to dedicate land to Nimmo Church as additional buffer when
Princess Anne Road is realigned. The applicant worked with the two homeowners across Princess Anne
Road next to Nimmo Church to relocate four of the residential lots to form a small neighborhood at the
time of the Princess Anne Road realignment. The applicant also coordinated with the adjacent property
owner across Mathews Green to provide a better access on to Princess Anne Road for both properties.
The applicant did try to consolidate the stormwater management facility with the existing neighborhood's
facility but could not due to the soil conditions.
The architectural elevations are in keeping with proposals for the Transition Area, and the proposed
dwellings are of similar quality as those on surrounding properties. In summary, the proposal is
compatible with the residential neighborhood adjacent and similar in appearance.
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,"
(91 07(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.

Subject: Developers of Matthew Green Subdivision
Dear Ms. Prochilo & Virginia Beach City Council,
I'm writing to you as one of the longtime residents of Three Oaks which is a proud & close-knit community of
VB. W~ have a very active Civic League & truly represent the concerns of residents of 30aks. One of the
concerns of 30aks is a plan of the subject developers of Matthew Green (M/G) to connect through the streets of
30aks. I strongly recommend against the plan for the following reasons:
1. Safety of the residents, especially the children of 30aks will be endangered if non-residents drive through
30aks from a proposed connecting street of M/G.
2. Difficulty exiting off & on 30aks Drive will be compounded by the number of non-residents not just from
M/G & also from other "Short-Cutters". Accidents will be frequent especially without a traffic light on the
intersection of 30aks Dr & PIA Rd.
3. The ecstatic & curb appeal values of 250 homes in 30aks will be degraded if 3 Oaks Drive become
"Public" to non-residents.
Sincerely & Signed,
DC Santos

Subject: RE: Matthews Green
To whom it may concern,
We are residents of Three Oaks neighborhood who have lived here for 19 years. I have great concerns for
Matthews Green to be opened up into our existing neighborhood. My children attend Three Oaks Elementary
School. We are in the walking zone for this school. I am not very happy that our neighborhood does not have
sidewalks and the school system allows this to happen, however, if Matthews Green is opened up into our
neighborhood, that will create more traffic for our children to deal with while walking to and from school in the
street. Also, it will create a better target for our neighborhood to have crime because there will be more than
one way in and out. I do not understand why the city is saying they have to show the opening when there have
been recently developed neighborhoods next to each other that do not open up into each other (off Holland
Road and Princess Anne Road). We are totally against Matthews Green being opened up into our
neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Bob and Cheryl Colvin

I am a retired VB police officer who has !ivied in Three Oaks for 21 years. On June 14, a re-zoning application is

I request that you seriously consider denying this re-zoning (if passed) by the commission. You have undoubtedly

To:
City Council Members & Planning Commission Members,
THANKS PLANNING COMMISSION for having a NOON meeting on June 14th, real convenient for
those who have to work and pay their bills and rising city taxes!!!! This is the last week of school for
city school employees and not a good time to be taking time off from work.
STOP!!!!! this ridiculous over population of Virginia Beach!!!!! Maintain the TRANSITION
GUIDELINES. Citizens of Virginia Beach, homeowners associations and civic leagues are awakening
and we are beginning to unite to fight the handful of people who have positioned themselves and their
cronies on City Council and the Planning Commission. I am APPALLED by the audacity ofthe
Planning Commission who overtly ignore the petitions of homeowners associations and civic leagues
who sign petitions and send representatives to speak on their behalf. These-citizens' lives are
negatively impacted by decisions made by a handful of arrogant people on the Planning Commission
We don't need the Mathews Green development or more than double the density in Sherwood
Lakes, a huge contemporary WAVE church on Seaboard Road, more retail shops and we
cetainly don't need more traffic congestion. Traffic congestion on Princess Anne Road is bad enough
right now. A. few years ago, it took a teacher who lived in Three Oaks four minutes to drive from the
entrance of Three Oaks to North Landing elementary school. It now takes her from 20-25 minutes to
get in front of North Landing Elementary School and then she might sit in traffic an additional 5-8
minutes waiting to turn into the school driveway. I, too, live in Three Oaks, and I used to turn left on
Princess Anne Road to get to Bolland. I now go up London Bridge to Dam Neck and then turn right
onto Holland.
Jim Arnhold, the developer who wants to double the density in Sherwood Lakes was on the transition
guidelines committee. Now, he and his attorney, Eddie Bourdon, appear to have the Planning
Commission in their pockets as the Planning Commission has approved their plans and ignores the
pleas of the citizens of Virginia Beach, the HOIneowners Associations and the Civic Leagues and the
Transition Guidelines. Of course, they will say these are "just guidelines". Obviously, guidelines
needed to be established in order to retain a rural atmosphere and to slow high density developments
from being built in southern Virginia Beach. It is a very sad day in Virginia Beach when the citizens
cannot trust the Planning Commission and City Council to maintain the transition guidelines. I
watched with dismay and overwhelming anger as the attorney,Eddie Bourdon, and the City Planning
Commission approved a 77 unit condominium to be built on Shore Drive near Pleasure Bouse Road
after hearing the objections and suggestions of the civic leagues and homeowner association members
present their concerns.
The citizens of Virginia Beach are disgusted with the handful of people in city government, the
developers and their attorneys ruining our city with overdevelopment, inadequate roads and over.
crowded schools just to line their pockets with more money. Who suffers as they get richer??? The
citizens of Virginia Beach do. It appears your philosophy is, "If their is a tree, cut it down;ifthere is
open green space, build on it".

Dear Ms. Prochilo & Virginia Beach City Council,
I'm writing to you as one of the longtime residents of Three Oaks which is a proud & close-knit community of
VB. We have a very active Civic League & truly represent the concerns of residents of 30aks. One of the
concerns of 30aks is a plan of the subject developers of Matthew Green (M/G) to connect through the streets of
30aks. I strongly recommend against the plan for the following reasons:
1. Safety of the residents, especially the children of 30aks will be endangered if non-residents drive through
30aks from a proposed connecting street of M/G.
2. Difficulty exiting off & on 30aks Drive will be compounded by the number of non-residents not just from
M/G & also from other "Short-Cutters". Accidents will be frequent especially without a traffic light on the
intersection of 30aks Dr & PIA Rd.
3. The ecstatic & curb appeal values of 250 homes in 30aks will be degraded if 3 Oaks Drive become
"Public" to non-residents.
Sincerely & Signed,
DC Santos

FW: Update RE: Three Oaks Homeowners Petition To Oppose Connection Street from
Mathews Green
Hi Ms. Prochilo,
1. I have finished acquiring signatures re the subject petition. Have acquired 189 signatures from approximately 225
homes in Three Oaks to document the feelings of the majority of homeowners in Three Oaks for opposing the
development of a Connection Street from the proposed Mathews Green to Three Oaks communities. Will provide the
original 11 pages and copies at the hearing. How many copies do you need and would you confirm that the hearing is
scheduled for June 14, 2006 at 12:00 pm. Which Building and room number? Should I present this Petition to the Planning
Commission or should the President of Three Oaks Homes Association, Dennis Meligonis, submit this Petition? Must we
wait until June 14, or could I bring it to you prior to hearing?
2. After our Three Oaks Homeowners' Meeting on June 6,2006 at 7:45 pm, the Mathews Green representatives
presented the latest proposed Development Plan (Drawing). The entrance/exit to/from Mathews Green was changed from
the previous drawing, however, the drawing still showed a Connection Street into Three Oaks at end of Kindling Hollow
Road. Since the subject Petition substantiates the Homeowners opposition to construction of the Connection Street to
Three Oaks, the developers stated that they would remove this cut-through street from their drawing if the Planning
Commission would permit them to do'so. Dennis Meligonis stated that the High Gate Green cut-through street to the
proposed Sherwood Forrest community was removed from their proposed drawing plan. Does the Planning Commission
require the developer to show a Connection Street to Three Oaks?
Thank you for all your consideration and time.

Subject: RE: Matthews Green
To whom it may concern,
We are residents of Three Oaks neighborhood who have lived here for 19 years. I have great concerns for
Matthews Green to be opened up into our existing neighborhood. My children attend Three Oaks Elementary
School. We are in the walking zone for this school. I am not very happy that our neighborhood does not have
sidewalks and the school system allows this to happen, however, if Matthews Green is opened up into our
neighborhood, that will create more traffic for our children to deal with while walking to and from school in the
street. Also, it will create a better target for our neighborhood to have crime because there will be more than
one way in and out. I do not understand why the city is saying they have to show the opening when there have
been recently developed neighborhoods next to each other that do not open up into each other (off Holland
Road and Princess Anne Road). We are totally against Matthews Green being opened up into our
neighborhood.

Re: Application for Rezoning - Mathews Green Associates, LC

Road, Virginia Beach
Dear Ms. Prochilo:
On behalf of the members of Nimmo United Methodist Church, we wish to
express our support for the zoning applications of the above-referenced property
in accordance with the submitted zoning plan. We have met with representatives
of Mathews Green Associates and have reviewed this plan with them.
We are delighted that they have expressed a desire to give a portion of their
property to our church to buffer the church from the existing Princess Anne Road.
Further, the dedication of the newly aligned Princess Anne Road right-of-way moves
the traffic and related noise further away from our building.
We appreciate their locating the preservation area across from our church in
such a manner as to maintain the low density environment around our church.
W~ think this plan is well thought out and suits the character of our church
and the surrounding area. We would hope that the city officials both at the Planning
and City Council level would agree. Thanks so much for your consideration.

Matthews Green Rezoning and Development Plan
Ms. Prochilo and City Council Members,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed development plan of Matthew's
Green, adjacent to Three Oaks. My concern is specific to the plan of a connecting street
in Matthews Green to Three Oaks via the North end of Kindling Hollow Road.
I currently live at the end of the street where the road is proposed to go through and
have 2 great concerns. First and foremost, I have 2 very young children and fear for
their safety because the opening up of our street puts us directly on a thoroughfare. The
number one checkpoint for my husband and I purchasing a house was that we were not on a
high traffic road. Within a neighborhood, when you have a long street drivers tend to
disregard the speed limit and I fear my children's safety with cars passing in and out of
the neighborhood at high speeds. I have visions of one of my kids stepping out from
behind the mailbox and getting struck by a car. We are also in a walking zone to Three
Oaks Elementary and our streets contain no sidewalks; therefore, the children are directly
exposed to this new traffic pattern.
My second concern is how congested our entrance/exit to the neighborhood will be with yet
another neighborhood using it. Currently during high traffic times, it's a chore to get
in and out. I don't see how the connection would prove to be beneficial to Matthew's
Green homeowners since they'll have an exit right down the street, so this can only make a
bad situation worse. I think the connection would be used more frequently by our
homeowners trying to get to the shopping center; and if we're all opposed, then we should
~e the deciding factor.
Thanks for listening and hopefully considering my concerns.
ViR,
Renee Swinson
Three Oaks Homeowner

Subject: Proposed Matthews Green Development
On Jan. 23, I attended a HOA meeting held by the Three Oaks Board.
it was to discuss the above mentioned development. Weare against
any access to our roads over the creek, which I understand most of it
is Wetlands. It would make sense to have the homeowner access the
development either directly on to Princess Ann Rd or to build the
entrance at N ewstead, which leads directly to Nimmo Parkway. If
they came through our development they would have to access
Princess Anne Rd which is our only access to and from our homes.
we do not need 100 more cars, at least, from anew place, when we
haven't seen the impact of the new Chelsea Place which has just
begun to sell homes.
If you haven't been on princess anne at rush hour you need to treat
yourself to this experience.
We appreciate you taking all the facts into consideration.
I also wish to refer you to today Beacon featured story.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Matthews Green community
Ms. Karen Prochilo
The community of Three Oaks has been informed that a new community, Matthews
Green, is being proposed adjacent to Three Oaks. According to the builder's proposal, 49
homes will be constructed and will connect to the north end of Kindling Hollow Road in
Three Oaks.
The proposed construction of 49 homes on the 49 acres does not meet the transition zone
requirements. The builder has shown a high density of homes compacted into an area of
approximately 23 acres. The remaining 26 acres will remain as forest due to questionable
wetlands. The 23-acre site also includes walking paths, forest area, drainage, sidewalks
and the street. This places the homes on sites of 13,000 to 15,000 sqft. The transition
zone indicates that homes should be 1 per acre which are not all compacted to one side of
the parcel. A neighborhood in the transition zone should have a unique design not a
typical cookie cutter layout; the proposal fails to meet this requirement. The homes
should also have a set back from the street, this would be impossible when constructing
large homes of 3500 to 4000 sqft on a 13,000 sq ftlot. Again the proposal fails to meet
the transition zone requirements. The Three Oaks community has 225 homes on true
"20,000" square foot lots. Also this proposed community does not comply with the
Navy's Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) directions.
Weare also opposed to this new neighborhood connecting to Three Oaks at Kindling
Hollow Road. We believe this additional entrance/exit into our community would
increase traffic conservatively by 25 % and would directly affect the residents of Three
Oaks.
. Three Oaks at the present time has a very low crime rate, and we feel this
is a direct result of being a community that is closed to fluid traffic. With
having only one entrance/exit, it is a major deterrent for criminal activity
as our road layout does not allow for an 'escape' route to Princess Anne
road at the back of our community.
c=-
. Three Oaks is currently a walking zone for our children attending Three
Oaks Elementary school. Increase traffic would affect the safety of our
children walking or riding their bikes to/from school without the benefit of
sideways. The children from Matthews Green will also be impacted by
this safety issue. We would support a pedestrian path that would provide
access for the children to walk to school.
Kindling Hollow road could very easily become a major thoroughfare which is
not the desire of the residents on Kindling Hollow road or the Three Oaks community.
The developer of this property has indicated the storm water will be diverted to
the existing canal along Three Oaks. The capacity of this drainage system may not be
able to provide proper run off during a major rain event. This drainage system supports
the pond infrastructure system for the entire Three Oaks community. Several areas of the
canal are private property that extends beyond the canal over into the proposed
construction area. These home owners have indicated that they wish to maintain the
integrity of their private property.
In summation, we oppose the current size of the lots and usage of purchased property of
Matthews Green. We feel it does not follow the guidelines proposed in the transition
plans or AICUZ of Virginia Beach. This development project as it is currently proposed
would not be in the best interest of the lbree Oaks community or that of the future of
Virginia Beach. Even with the necessary lot size modifications needed with this project,
we are adamantly opposed to the connection of this new neighborhood through Kindling
Hollow Road.
We are sure the voted representatives of the Planning Commission will consider the
general consensus of all the residents of Three Oaks.

Subject Mathews Green Properties LLC Development proposal
Ref: Edwin L Jarvis letter dated November 22, 2005 sent to you
Dear Ms Prochilo,
We are writing this letter to formally inform you of our concurrence with the concerns
stated by Mr. Jarvis in his letter to you and our support of his recommendations. We are
deeply concerned with the loss of privacy and the impact that further sediment outflow
from the proposed development will have on the current shallow drainage canal alongside
our properties without any planned dredging or widening. The conversion of the canal to
a lake that Mr. Jarvis proposes in his letter would certainly seem the most logical
solution. The development property owners would maintain their side of the lake as we
currently maintain ours, we would still have some semblance of privacy (distance verses
current tree line) and the two communities would blend nicely.
We were informed by Mr. Kellem and Mr. Burrows that the City Planners have a
problem extending the easement between our property line and the development because
the City wants a single large wild life sanctuary to the north of the development. I
believe the City should consider giving us as taxpayers a little more consideration for our
privacy and quality of life some (a small percentage as I see it) of that land for half of the
lake on the development side. It would not take much away from the sanctuary and wild
life can still use it (fish and water fowl).
Thank you for your consideration.
David & Mary Lou Diaz

Subject: Concerns of Three Oaks Homeowners Regarding Matthew's Green Rezoning and Development Plan
CONCERNS OF THREE OAKS HOMEOWNERS REGARDING MATTHEW'S GREEN REZONING
AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
PRIMARY CONCERNS:
A proposed development plan to build 49 houses in approximately 25 acres adjacent to Three Oaks was
presented by the Matthew's Green developers to the Three Oaks Homeowner's Association officers and some
homeowners. This plan specified the construction of a connecting street to Kindling Hollow Road in Three Oaks. If such a
street were constructed, the following scenarios would result.
1. In order to save time by avoiding traffic lights at Elson Green and General Booth, Matthew's Green residents who must
commute back and forth from the Municipal Center area or Holland/Princess Anne Roads would take short cuts through
Three Oaks on Kindling Hollow Road, Tree Garden Way, and Three Oaks Drive. After Princess Anne Road is expanded
into 4 lanes with a medium, the Matthew's Green residents will not have a convenient entry or exit through the proposed
main front entrance.
2. In order to save time by avoiding traffic light at General Booth (Seven Eleven), residents of Three Oaks would also use
Kindling Hollow Road as a short cut to run errands to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and other Red Mill Commons shopping
stores and eating places.
3. The significant increase in the traffic pattern exiting and entering Three Oaks Drive from General Booth will eventually
result in a serious fatal accident at this entrance to Three Oaks. This entrance/exit to Three Oaks is currently very
dangerous for anyone trying to exit Three Oaks onto General Booth. .
4. The significant increase in the traffic patterns as described above on Kindling Hollow Road, Tree Garden Way, and
Three Oaks Drive will eventually result in the death of one of the many young children that frequently play and ride bicycles
on these streets.
SECONDARY CONCERNS:
1. We respectfully request that the Planning Commission require the developer to build their houses in accordance with
the "2003 Comprehensive Plan Policy Document for Princess Anne (Transition Area)", i.e. "The maximum calculated
residential density in the Transition Area is one dwelling unit per developable acre".
2. We request that the developer provide attractive and protective buffers along the proposed border with Three Oaks.
3. In addition to creating an increased threat to the safety and well-being of the human residents of Three Oaks, the
increased traffic resulting from the development of a connecting street to Kindling Hollow Road would jeopardize the safety
of groups of mallard ducks and other animals that travel on ground from the man-made lake area to our house and
neighbors for daily feeding. We already had one fatal accident on Tree Garden Way where Olivia (a named large duck
who could not fly) was struck by a car and died last year. A bench with a nameplate in her memory was placed by the lake
c::= next to Tree Garden Way.
On behalf of ourselves and other Three Oaks residents, we thank you very much for considering the above concerns
regarding the Matthew's Green Rezoning and Development Project.

Subject: Mathews Glen Development
Ms. Prochilo,
I'm unable to attend this Wednesday's planning commission session concerning the subject development, but
would like to voice my strong concern and objection to re-zoning this area for further development along this area
of Princess Anne Road/General Booth Blvd. I've been a resident of Three Oaks since 1986 and have been there
since its inception in the mid 80's. It was the first development below the "green line" back then which controlled
growth. This rural atmosphere at the time is what brought me to Three Oaks as I was getting away from traffic that
existed from my previous residence in the Little Neck/Kings Grant area. While I wouldn't have expected growth to
just stop with the Three Oaks development, I did not visualize that every little available parcel of land would be
available and zoned for further residential development. At some point, I would have expected a slow down of the
development of the area (since that was the purpose of the green line originally) and enough would have been
enough. We have reached that time, enough is enough!
Since Three Oaks development, I've seen four other developments (High Gate Greens, High Gate Crossings,
Condo's across from 7-11, and most recently Chelsea Place) within a half mile stretch of Princess Anne Road
occur. It appears if there's the slightest parcel of land available for development, the city is allowing it to happen.
Those developments along with South Gate and Three Oaks have created an enormous traffic problem. The
bottom line, Princess Anne Road leading back around to the Court House area can no longer support the traffic
that already exists in the area. Each and every day, it's a constant battle to get out of Three Oaks onto Princess
Anne Road (and I'm not promoting any traffic light). When finally able to make a left turn onto Princess Anne
Road, we face long 10 to 15 minute trips to go a mile to get to the Court house area, a 2 mile journey at most.
That is unreasonable and unacceptable.
In closing, I kindly request and encourage the Planning Commission to re-consider re-zoning this area for any
residential development. The area is over populated as it is. If the Planning Commission unfortunately does allow
this happen, then either the widening of Princess Anne Road from General Booth back to the Courthouse and/or
finishing the Nimmo Parkway cut through (neither of which I don't think the city wants to do) has to occur prior to
this development. Additionally, it is also requested that Mathews Green not be allowed to connect with any roads
from the Three Oaks development. Sub divisions are such and should remain independent of each other and not
act as thorough fares for other sub-divisions. Having to live with the existing traffic on Princess Anne Road is bad
enough, we do not need further traffic in our sub-division.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

PETITION TO OPPOSE THE PROPOSED MATTHEWS GREEN REZONING AND
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
On November 2, 2005, the subject proposed plan to build 49 houses in approximately 25 acres adjacent to Three
Oaks was presented to the officers of the Three Oaks Homeowner's Association. This plan showed the
development of a connection street from the back of the proposed housing community to Kindling Hollow Road
in Three Oaks. Such a connection street would cause significant increased traffic through our neighborhood,
additional congestion at the entrance/exit to Three Oaks, and increased safety issues for children who ride bikes
and walk our streets with no sidewalks. The undersigned residentslhomeowners in the Three Oaks
neighborhood agree with this statement and are primarily opposed to the development of a connection street to
Kindling Hollow Road and recommend that, if necessary, an entrance/exit into the proposed community be
located off the Matthews Green street next to the Veterinary Hospital across from Southgate.

Oaks was presented to the officers of the Three Oaks Homeowner's Association. This plan showed the
development of a connection street from the back of the proposed housing community to Kindling Hollow Road
in Three Oaks. Such a connection street would cause significant increased traffic through our neighborhood,
additional congestion at the entrance/exit to Three Oaks, and increased safety issues for children who ride bikes
and walk our streets with no sidewalks. The undersigned residents/homeowners in the Three Oaks
neighborhood agree with this statement and are primarily opposed to the development of a connection street to
Kindling Hollow Road and recommend that, if necessary, an entrance/exit into the proposed community be
located off the Matthews Green street next to the Veterinary Hospital across from Southgate.

Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c. for the discontinuance, closure and
abandonment of portions of Mathews Green beginning at a point approximately 130 feet
east of its intersection with Princess Anne Road and extending 274.73 feet in an easterly
direction and the southwest quadrant of the cul-de-sac, approximately 100 feet east of

a Change of Zoning District Classification from AG-1 & AG- 2 Agricultural Districts to
Conditional R-20 Residential District with a PD-H2 Overlay on property located at 2217
Mathews Green, District 7, Princess Anne with twelve proffers.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you Mr. Strange. Good afternoon Mr. Chairman and members of
the Planning Commission. My name is Jeff Maynard. For the record, my business
address 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2000. I'm here on behalf of the applicant
Mathews Green Associates. I have with me Bob Kellam, Bill Gerwitz, Jim Hogan, and
Charles Burroughs who are investors and or architects and engineers in this project.
Briefly, if Mr. Kellam would step forward, I wanted to show you the aerial photograph of
this property. I know that many of you are familiar with it. This is the old property of
Virginia Mathews, which my client has purchased. It is an approximately 491f2-acre tract
located along Princess Anne Road. You see that Nimmo Church is here. The Three Oaks
community is this way. Princess Anne Road runs along the front and there is a 7-Eleven
right here where Princess Anne Road turns to the south. The property is presently zoned
agricultural. My clients would like to rezone this property from agricultural to R-20 with
a PD-H2 Overlay. And if Bob would switch slides I'll show you briefly their site plan.
This property is largely wooded and impacted by wetlands. We are located in the
Transition Area and achieving density by meeting a 50 percent open space requirement.
Approximately 17.28 acres is what we are calling a "preservation area" that will be
dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach, and then we have additional homeowners open
space interior to the community that will allow us to achieve the 50 percent threshold.
'--'- Here are a couple of things about the application. We are proposing 49 residential lots,
45 of them will be clustered on this side adjacent to or near the Three Oaks community.
Item # 16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 2
c=:
There are four additional lots that are not part of the same Homeowners Association but
reserve for future development up along Princess Anne Road. The applicant is proposing
a dedication of a little less than four acres of land for realignment of Princess Anne Road
that we understand will be coming at some point in the future, as well as a dedication of
approximately Y2 acre of land to preserve and protect Nimmo Church. The homes to be
located on this area, and we will come back to that slide. I wanted to point out for you are
brick colonial and design, Georgia Revival Architecture that will be high quality material
such as brick or wood or real stucco. There won't be any EIFS or any vinyl in the
community. The homes will all be built on crawl spaces and will have either rear or side
garages unless the garage is located farther back than the rear of the house that is located
on that property. A couple of other items. The price ranges for this development is going
to be in the $600,000-$800,000 range. So they are high quality materials and a very high
quality development. If you would turn back to the slide, I wanted to let you know that
we have met on four occasions with the Three Oaks community. I understand that a
couple of their representatives are here, and I wanted to point out the issues that we have
been able to negotiate with them and then focus on the last issue that we have come to an
agreement on but I wanted to point out. Initially when our engineers and the applicant
filed this application, the entrance was proposed along Princess Anne Road. They have
spent considerable time during tJUs process working with the city planning staff and
traffic engineering department to come up with an acceptable alignment at the entrance
along Princess Anne Road. That also is the reason for the street closure application that
is a component of this overall development. The street closure has been negotiated with
Dr. Francois who owns PM Associates and has a veterinarian practice there. He will be
getting this section of the street closure and it will increase the size of his lot and will
allow him to configure the entrance to his property through our development instead of
the oddly shaped entrance that is presently located along Princess Anne Road. A couple
of the issues we had and discussed with the community on. Several of the residents along
the storm water pond were concerned about the size of these lots initially. We were able
to expand it greatly. I will point out the average lot size in this community is
approximately 16,000 square feet. The smallest is in the 11,000 square foot range. We
have some that are over 20,000 square feet, and the larger ones are along this area.
Another issue that was raised in the early session dealt with the buffering. And as pointed
out, the owners of the property of Three Oaks, their property lines go to our side, I guess
of the canal here, so they actually own this property here. There is going to be an existing
strip of trees that will remain we will not be able to touch them as they are part of the
other property owner's property. I will point out our open space, the Homeowners
Association open space has connectivity with an internal trail system. There are
sidewalks on both sides of the property_Probably the issues that we spent the most time
on with the community deals with the connection of Kindling Hollow Road, which is
here on the site plan. The residents of the neighborhood have objected strongly to that.
They pretty much from day one and first meeting we had with them said they did not
want our neighborhood to connect with theirs. As we have gone through the planning
process, we understand that the City's subdivision ordinance requires us to show
connectivity but I wanted to represent to you that if it's the will of the Commission and
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 3
the City Council, our applicant does not wish to show a vehicular connection. This
morning there was some discussion whether we would be willing to install pedestrian
connectivity such as bike trails or walking paths between the communities. We are, of
course, willing to build a road. However, the residents of Three Oaks, I believe are
opposed to that notion. So we would, again, seek your direction on that. I would point
out that if connectivity is eliminated the change in the site plan would be that Mathews
Way would be basically a loop road with a single entrance off of Princess Anne Road.
We would eliminate this and it would become and these lots may change just a little bit
but there would be no connection between the neighborhoods. There would be no cul-de-
sac here as well. It would be just a loop road system. So, with that, I will standby for any
questions and ask for your recommendation for approval.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Maynard? Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: The same one I asked this morning. Is it not only going to be
pedestrian friendly but bike friendly as well? Is the developer going to put in not only
sidewalks for pedestrians but trails for bicycles? Not only in the open space that Parks
and Recreation are going to do it but within the development itself along the streets? It is
very important that they have bicycle access as well.
Jeff Maynard: Our development will have trail systems here and sidewalks all the way
around that will accommodate bicycle access.
Eugene Crabtree: It will be large enough and wide enough for bicycles and use them as
bike paths as well?
Jeff Maynard: Yes. I would point out that we are going to dedicate this portion to the
City.
Eugene Crabtree: I understand that. But this is above and beyond what the City is going
to do.
Jeff Maynard: Right.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Thank you Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support of the application we have Robert Kellam.
Robert Kellam: Actually, I was just asked to fill out a card. I have nothing to add.
c:::=:.
Joseph Strange: Good. Speaking in opposition, the first opposition is Dennis Meligonis.
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 4
Barry Knight: Welcome sir.
Dennis Meligonis: Good afternoon.
Barry Knight: Please state your name for the record.
Dennis Meligonis: I'm Dennis Meligonis. I'm the President of the Three Oaks Homes
Association. This time I am representing the residents of the neighborhood and we do
have several. I would like for them to stand please. Confirming with the developer, our
opposition to this neighborhood is the connection to Kindling Hollow Road. Basically
we have two reasons why we don't want that road connected. Three Oaks neighborhood
is a little over 20 years old. We have a very, very low crime rate. We feel this is because
of the one entrance and exit into the neighborhood, we haven't had any major crimes
because we don't have an escape route but if you did connect the Kindling Hollow Road
that would allow an escape route out of the back of our neighborhood. The second issue
is we are in a school walking zone. We did have the new elementary school built behind
our neighborhood. We don't have sidewalks in our neighborhood. So all of the children
in the neighborhood have to walk on the streets to school. With the Kindling Hollow
connector being in back of the neighborhood that would certainly cause a change in
traffic patterns and certainly cause increase traffic to the back of the neighborhood where
a majority of the students would be walking to school. Approximately in the last 24
months there have been several neighborhoods within a three-mile radius of Three Oaks.
Some of them are Princess Anne Quarter, Victoria Park in Virginia Beach, High Court,
Chelsea Place, and Seaboard Forest. All of these are single entrance and exit
neighborhoods and we feel we should have the same consideration as those
neighborhoods with one entrance and one exit. Like I said, in summary our neighborhood
is over 20 years. We really, really like our one entrance and exit. We hope that you make
this recommendation to City Council. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: You say you're objecting to the vehicular access but would you object to a
pedestrian access from that neighborhood to your neighborhood with that connectivity?
Dennis Meligonis: Probably not. Of course, I am representing the community and we
really didn't discuss that with our community. We had several meetings with the builder.
Basically representing the neighborhood here was just for the road connection.
Barry Knight: Any other comments? Mr. Henley.
:-
Al Henley: Mr. Meligonis. On the question that Mr. Bernas just asked if for some reason
that the road is not connected, once again, I think it is very important to open up
neighborhoods with trail systems primarily pedestrian as well as bicycle traffic as well.
Take into consideration with the proposal that Three Oaks has a great opportunity to
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 5
enjoy the open space that is going to be dedicated by the applicant. So the enjoyment
there and not just for that neighborhood would be also be enjoyed by the surrounding
neighborhoods just like Three Oaks. Does that sound attractive to you?
Dennis Meligonis: Yes.
AI Henley: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions or comments? Sir, I would like to note that
it looks like there are some options on the table. Opening it up for vehicular traffic,
which you all don't want, completely closing it for some sort of compromise. I've heard,
so far and in some informal discussions that it looks like it would be appropriate to open
it up for pedestrian traffic and trail traffic. And also, with what else is being discussed is
possibly getting a city deeded right-of-way, a deed access in there because you don't
know what is going to happen in 15 or 20 years but don't put a road in there now. There
has also been some discussion and the Fire Department has some break away barriers or
some gates that they can go through with keys or electronics that wouldn't be used by
anyone except for an extreme emergency of a fire or something. So, I would just like to
throw that out for some other residents that are going to speak to be aware that we have
some options. It's maybe all or nothing or maybe some sort of compromise. Thank you
SIr.
Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Renee Swinson.
Barry Knight: We1come ma' am. Please state your name for the record.
c::::.
Renee Swinson: Renee Swinson. I'm a seven year resident of Three Oaks and I live in
the house adjacent to the proposed development on the end of Kindling Hollow Road. I
do support Dennis' stand on opposing a road going through since I live right there but I
would like to go further and say that I actually oppose the entire development. I am here
to voice my opposition. As Dennis mentioned, currently there are numerous residential
developments being proposed and built, and with this increase in density, I begin to
question the need for this development. Over the past few years, the following have been
considered for development within the Princess Anne section. Chelsea Place, Sherwood
Lakes, Mayberry, Highcourt, Heritage Park, Victoria Park, Asheville Park, Nimmo's
Quay and Seaboard Acres. On Sunday, June 11,2006, the Virginian Pilot published an
article on the Pungo Village Public Hearings and reported that in the last three years over
800 homes have been approved for development in the Transition Area. One Tuesday,
June 13,2006, the Pilot ran another article on three proposed developments, two of which
are in the Princess Anne Corridor. The article focused on the opposition of these
developments particularly that the residents worry that the growth is outstripping the
city's ability to repair for the roads and other services. As a 35 year resident of Virginia
Beach, I concur with this opposition based on my concern with the city's inability to
provide the necessary services proportional to the proposed density increases. Just last
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 6
night, Sherwood Lakes development was approved by City Council. With all these
developments and the hundred of houses they constitute, what is the need for another
development? Kellam High School is already overcrowded. The new Three Oaks
Elementary School is over booked for next year. With the increase in density these
developments represent, these schools will have a difficult time accommodating the
children. I have a daughter who will attend Three Oaks Elementary next year and I am
disheartened to think that she may have to attend class in a portable.in a two-year old
school. A lot of citizens moved to the Transition Area to get away from the
overcrowding of northern Virginia Beach. In talks with some other Three Oaks residents
that have asked me when is growth and progress a detriment? The Transition Area serves
as a land use buffer between the urban northern portion of the city and the rural southern
portion of the city. Land use in density within this area should not be a continuation of
either form but a transition from one to the other. I want to thank you for your time and
consideration and I am opposed to this request.
Barry Knight: Thank you ma'am. Are there any questions? Thank you.
Joseph Strange: The next speaker B.J. Giancola.
B.J. Giancola: My name is BJ. Giancola.
Ed Weeden: Sir, identify yourself in the mic.
c:::=-
BJ. Giancola: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My name is B.J. Giancola. My
wife and I have lived at Three Oaks at Kindling Hollow Road for the past 19 years. In the
past six months we conducted a survey of Three Oaks homeowners and I would like to
submit the original petition with 13 copies containing the signatures of 189 homeowners
who oppose having a connection entry/exit from Mathews Green to Three Oaks
community. This represents a majority of the homeowners. The proposed connection
will only cause significant increase in traffic through our neighborhood, additional
congestion to the entrance of Three Oaks and increase safety issues for children who ride
bikes, motor scooters and walk our streets with no sidewalks. During several meetings of
the Three Oaks Homeowners Association, Mathews Green developers stated they would
agree to with the majority of the Three Oaks homeowners to move the proposed
connection from the plans if they had permission from the City Planning Commission and
Council. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen Prochilo for her outstanding
feedback with the Three Oaks homeowners and Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Swinson for
providing assistance in conducting the survey and Ms. Dalton for making copies of the
petition. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Before you make any decision
I would just like to comment that as far as the emergency vehicles, I really don't see
where it would gain any benefit by having any kind of access there. If they are going to
have any problems it is going to be in either Three Oaks or it is going to be in Highgate
Greens. I can't see where it is reasonable that if it is Mathews Green that they would be
cutting through or going through Three Oaks in order to get to an a emergency in
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 7
Mathews Green. We have been here for 19 years and I've never heard of any kind of
block up in front entrance of Three Oaks where an emergency vehicle couldn't get
through. I don't think that is a problem. In the past few days I heard all this talk about the
pedestrian right of way. The people that I have talked they don't want any connection
there. We already have a problem whether people that already live there know, there are
a lot of children and they're not only riding bikes but they are motorized scooters. That
would just add between the developments of increased traffic.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions?
B.J. Giancola: Should I submit these?
Barry Knight: Give them to Mr. Livas. That will be fine.
Joseph Strange: That concludes the opposition of speakers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: I don't have anything else to add other than what we said in our primary
presentation. I guess with regard to the opposition general to the development. While
our applicant can't solve all the city's traffic or other problems, we are dedicating a
substantial area for future right-of-way improvements, which is a considerable value as
well as taking property that is zoned agricultural and adding it to the tax base or to a
higher rate. I'll standby for any questions. Again, we understand the community and Mr.
Giancola petition. He had informed us earlier that the community doesn't want any
connectivity whether that be a pedestrian or vehicular. So, our applicant, again is willing
to do that which that the Planning Commission recommends. I would ask for your
direction on that.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Maynard, about the right-turn in lane? Please address
that.
Jeff Maynard: Sure. There is not enough property for the benefit of everyone. The right
turn in lane that Mr. Knight is referring to is on Princess Anne Road here. There is not
enough land on the Mathews Green property to install a standard a right turn deceleration
lane. However, our applicant is committed and our client is committed that during the
site plan review process to install a right turn lane that allows for some vehicle stacking
into the development.
c:::=.
Barry Knight Thank you Mr. Maynard. We all know that it is very, very congested in
that neck of the woods. Anything that we can help do to facilitate traffic flow in that area
is going to be somewhat of a help. Are there any questions for Mr. Maynard? Mr.
Bernas?
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 8
Jay Bernas: Is the applicant willing to work with staff prior to going to City Council on
providing pedestrian access? As I understand it, and staff correct me if I am wrong that
Three Oaks will have a pedestrian access to Sherwood Lakes that was recently approved.
Correct me if I'm wrong if that is true or not?
Karen Prochilo: Highgate Greens has a pedestrian access to LBH (Sherwood Lakes).
Three Oaks does not have any connection currently with any developments. This is a
proposed connection but it is a street tie connection. That is how it is being proposed.
Jay Bernas: So is the applicant willing to work with staff, I guess on providing some sort
of pedestrian access? Just like Mr. Henley had mentioned that Three Oaks would also
have the benefit of this tremendous open space that this development will be providing?
Jeff Maynard: The applicant is certainly willing to do it. In fact, the applicant is willing
to install a road. However, as we represented to the community we would support their
direction on this initiative. We understand that 189 members, a majority as Mr. Giancola
has pointed out opposes the application for that reason, then we of course wouldn't want
that.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: Mr. Maynard, the road that you designed to connect to Three Oaks, the
street stub that is shown on the plat, that was an existing street stub that you designed too,
I assume that you didn't have to acquire?
Jeff Maynard: That is correct.
Ronald Ripley: That was envisioned as a conductor when Three Oaks was platted? I
assume?
Jeff Maynard: Right. We reviewed the plat for Three Oaks at the time and there was no
cul-de-sac provided at that time. We looked in fact to see if there were additional notes
or anything that pointed to future connection but all that was shown on the original plat
was a street stub and not a cul-de-sac. So we assumed that was provided for future
connection.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Livas.
c==
Henry Livas: Did your original plan call for that connectivity or did you do it as a result
of the city forcing you too?
Jeff Maynard: Our original plan showed the connectivity and I don't know if it was the
Item #16 & 17

Page 9
city forcing us to do it because it was part of the requirement of the subdivision
ordinance. I think Mr. Kellam and his engineering firm originally designed the
application to comply with the subdivision ordinance.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: Yes. If you do not put a vehicular connection there and it is just a bike
and pedestrian, that would sort of connect your community as well as the Greenway to the
Three Oaks neighborhood, and it would give the Three Oaks neighborhood a much larger
area for their recreational purposes or whatever. Do you have any idea of what the City's
Parks and Recreation plans to do with the open space or really what they plan to put in
there other than just trails?
Jeff Maynard: We haven't gotten an indication from the City on that. The only thing that
we did discuss was at the time we agreed to dedicate that space to the city. We wanted it
to remain as an urban forest. So we included a restriction that we didn't want ball fields
or that type of recreation.
Eugene Crabtree: No. But did you put any restriction on there as far as other leisure
activities other than just biking and walking?
Jeff Maynard: Right. What I included in the restriction, I think was the term "passive
recreational use", which would be walking and hiking trails.
Eugene Crabtree: Alright. But that is going to be Parks and Recreation?
Jeff Maynard: Yes. As I understand it as I confirmed with Karen.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Maynard? Thank you Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you.
Barry Knight: I'll open it up for discussion. Mr. Henley.
c::=.
Al Henley: I would like to compliment the applicant as well as the staff and the ability to
work and discuss the many issues that have arisen as a result of this application. I believe
the application is an application that has been well thought out, well planned. It would
certainly compliment the neighborhood of Three Oaks and the surrounding area. I may
want to mention that very seldom we have an opportunity that a number of applicants will
actually benefit the city, the neighborhood. The applicants have dedicated additional
property that is directly across from the historical structure mainly called Nimmo Church.
And I had a letter in possession that was signed by the church applauding that, which I
thought was really gracious of the proposed development. Along with that the dedication,
the deed, the proposed Princess Anne Road relocation is also very beneficial to the traffic
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 10
situation that everyone is aware of. This will certainly benefit alleviating a lot of the
traffic concerns in that particular cross intersection. The open space will also benefit the
city, that particular neighborhood of Mathews Green, as well as Three Oaks, and the other
surrounding neighborhoods to enjoy the open space and large canopy trees that are
present in that particular area along with the trails that are proposed for that area.
Understand that the street connection is a standard that the City of Virginia Beach has
adopted years ago, and obviously was adopted for a purpose because at one particular
time there were locked in neighborhoods and nobody could gain access. There was one
way in and one way out. Unfortunately, life and loss of life and threatening of structures
because of fire and staff had to get along with fire and rescue and they established this
ordinance. We had a real neat year to be exercised and that is to open up neighborhoods
to avoid unfortunate critical situations to avoid death, emergency situations, heart attacks,
fire and rescue. As the gentlemen pointed out they never had that situation arise in Three
Oaks. I think that is very fortunate and we all hope that we would never have that
particular situation to occur. But it only takes one situation. One particular critical
incident and people begin to think if that only other access would have been open and we
would have had a clearer shot because minutes count when life is in limbo. Again,
minutes count when a fire engine cannot get there appropriately in time. That is
something that is real life situation. I can clearly understand the resident at the end of that
particular street. I have had my solitude. I can clearly understand and appreciate where
those individuals are coming from. However, when you look at the future of the city, and
the future of well planned neighborhoods, I think it is the only way to go. Bottom line,
City Council will be the one that will be listening to this to make a decision whether that
street connection will, in fact be open to traffic or it will be closed or if it is an option
possibly pedestrian and bikeway systems. I, for one, believe that bikeway and not
encouraged to vehicular traffic. I am not in support of that even though it is against city
staff, and I hate to go against city staff but I realize that on the books they had to
recommend that for the public well being. But I can clearly sympathize with that
neighborhood. If I lived there I would probably not want that myself but I would be
delighted to have a cross connection or pedestrian as well as bikeways. The elevation that
is proposed in this is an excellent opportunity for an upgraded upscale neighborhood that
everyone can certainly be proud of. It is a close knit neighborhood with trails that they
could enjoy, bikeways and the tremendous open space behind canopy trees that is present
in that particular area. I can go on but I'm not going to delay any longer. I will say I will
be supporting this for those reasons that I mentioned today. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Henley. Are there any other comments?
~
Eugene Crabtree: Just one quick one. I want to ditto AI's comments and say that as far
as the pedestrian and bike connectivity, the Bike and Trails Committee that has been
formed in the last year here in the city has worked very diligently and has made
recommendations, and we've changed the Comprehensive Plan to try to connect the
entire city with pedestrian and bike access so that we could go from one point in the city
to the next. All over. No matter where it is, all the old neighborhoods, all the new
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 11
neighborhoods and all. So, I too support the connectivity of the bike and trails. If for no
other reason than for the continuity of us having our communities connected so that we
can go and flow from one to the other throughout the city, which we hope some day to
run from over the Amphibious Base Little Creek all the way down to the city line going
towards Knotts Island. We hope someday to have connectivity.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Are there any other comments? Discussion? The
Chair will entertain a motion.
Al Henley: I'll make a motion to approve.
Ronald Ripley: Second.
Barry Knight: A motion to approve by AI Henley and a second by Ron Ripley. Mr.
Henley, tell us again that you are approving it as stated or any changes between here and
Council?
Al Henley: I'm approving it as stated with the exception of not tying in the Three Oaks
street for vehicular traffic. However, I wanted it to be a dedicated right-of-way joining
both neighborhoods with a pedestrian access and with also a bikeway. Those bikeways
and pedestrian will be paved for concrete.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is that your second Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: That is not my second. I withdraw my second.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second?
Janice Anderson: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson. Is there any discussion? There is a motion on the floor
with the adjustment made. We have a first by Al Henley and a second by Jan Anderson.
I'll call for the question.
Karen Prochilo: May we ask that the motion be with a surface approved by Parks and
Recreation, if that is possible?
Al Henley: Yes. I concur.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson?

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of this 19th day of May, 2006 by
and between MATHEWS GREEN ASSOCIATES. LLC, a Virginia limited liability company
(the "Grantor"), the current owner of that certain property located along Princess Anne Road, in
Virginia Beach, Virginia, which property is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Property") and the CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (hereinafter referred to as
"Grantee").
WITNES SETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee, so as to change the classification
of the property from AG-2 to Conditional R-20 (PDH-2); and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible
us'es conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property
and at the same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses,
certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the
community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned Conditional R-20 (PDH-2)
are needed to cope with the situation to which the Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed conditi anal amendment to the
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing R-20 (PDH-2) distrjcts by
the existing City's Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the following reasonable conditions related to the
GPIN NO.: 2404-94-9948.0000
physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said
amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia and executed by the record
owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,
that said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, it's successors, assigns, grantees, and other
successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from the
Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion of quid pro QUO for
zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit or subdivision approval, hereby make the following

This request was deferred at the July 18 City Council meeting at the request of
the applicant.
. Considerations:
The applicant intends to purchase the two halves of Mathews Green to
incorporate into the veterinarian's adjoining property across from their proposed
residential development. The veterinarian has agreed to provide a portion of his
property to the applicant in exchange for the street closure property. The portion
of property provided by the veterinarian gives direct access of the proposed
development to Princess Anne Road and provides the veterinarian a safer
access.
The Viewers Committee has determined there is no future need for the right-of-
way.
The area of the street closure will be incorporated into the adjacent non-
residential property. The street closure improves the accessibility of both the
existing non-residential property and the proposed residential development.

AICUZ:
The site is in an AICUZ of 65 dB Ldn - 70 dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
PUBLIC WORKS (TRAFFIC ENGINEERING): As a condition of the closure of Mathews Way, Traffic
Engineering will require that a chanelizing island be added at the Veterinary Clinic entrance at the
proposed private road to prohibit vehicles from cutting through the private road from Mathews Way to
Princess Anne Road.
The configuration of the private road (Mathews Way) intersection is based upon the existing Veterinary
Clinic land use that the private roadway serves. If this property were redeveloped into a higher traffic
generator, Traffic Engineering reserves the right to modify the access arrangement.
The developer will be required to provide a right turn lane on Princess Anne Road at the proposed
Mathews Way intersection. Traffic engineering acknowledges that a standard right turn lane cannot be
built because of right-of-way limitations. Right-of-way requirement will be determined at the time of site
plan review.
On the southbound (inbound) side of the median on the proposed Mathews Way from Princess Anne
Road to the median opening for the veterinarian entrance, the pavement width must be 24 feet. This
width will allow Mathews Green residential traffic to bypass vehicles waiting to turn into the veterinarian
entrance.
The proposed left turn lane on Princess Anne Road at Mathews Way to meet Public Works Standards
for storage bay and taper length.
Additional detailed comments may be made during site plan review.
Separate comments have been provided regarding the associated conditional rezoning application for

WATER: There is a 16 inch water line located within the proposed street closure which will require dedication
of a 30' public utility easement centered over the waterline. In addition, an all weather access will be required
within the easement. The developer needs to be advised no encroachments Le. structures, will be permitted
within the easement.
SEWER: There are no sewer lines in the area proposed for closure.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within
the Transition Area / Princess Anne.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
"Policies of this Comprehensive Plan have been designed to ensure that the Transition Area continues to
be a well-planned area. Employment, mixed use, and residential centers, each with its own open space
and trail system, will be clustered along and connected to the public greenway offering a variety of quality
home and work environments. "(p. 143)
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The Viewers Committee has determined there is no future need for the right-of-way.
The area of the street closure will be incorporated into the non-residential adjacent property. The street
closure improves the accessibility of both the existing non-residential property and the proposed
residential development.
CONDITIONS
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee.
The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding
Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Copies
of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed area

Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary.
Joseph Strange: The next item is Item #16 & 17, Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c. for the discontinuance, closure and
abandonment of portions of Mathews Green beginning at a point approximately 130 feet
east of its intersection with Princess Anne Road and extending 274.73 feet in an easterly
direction and the southwest quadrant of the cul-de-sac, approximately 100 feet east of
Princess Anne Road, District 7, Princess Anne with four conditions; and Item #17,
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c. Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c. for
a Change of Zoning District Classification from AG-1 & AG-2 Agricultural Districts to
Conditional R-20 Residential District with a PD-H2 Overlay on property located at 2217
Mathews Green, District 7, Princess Anne with twelve proffers.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you Mr. Strange. Good afternoon Mr. Chairman and members of
the Planning Commission. My name is Jeff Maynard. For the record, my business
address 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2000. I'm here on behalf of the applicant
Mathews Green Associates. I have with me Bob Kellam, Bill Gerwitz, Jim Hogan, and
Charles Burroughs who are investors and or architects and engineers in this project.
Briefly, if Mr. Kellam would step forward, I wanted to show you the aerial photograph of
this property. I know that many of you are familiar with it. This is the old property of
Virginia Mathews, which my client has purchased. It is an approximately 49Y2-acre tract
located along Princess Anne Road. You see that Nimmo Church is here. The Three Oaks
community is this way. Princess Anne Road runs along the front and there is a 7-Eleven
right here where Princess Anne Road turns to the south. The property is presently zoned
agricultural. My clients would like to rezone this property from agricultural to R-20 with
a PD-H2 Overlay. And if Bob would switch slides I'll show you briefly their site plan.
This property is largely wooded and impacted by wetlands. Weare located in the
Transition Area and achieving density by meeting a 50 percent open space requirement.
Approximately 17.28 acres is what we are calling a "preservation area" that will be
dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach, and then we have additional homeowners open
space interior to the community that will allow us to achieve the 50 percent threshold.
Here are a couple of things about the application. We are proposing 49 residential lots,
45 of them will be clustered on this side adjacent to or near the Three Oaks community.
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 2
There are four additional lots that are not part of the same Homeowners Association but
reserve for future development up along Princess Anne Road. The applicant is proposing
a dedication of a little less than four acres of land for realignment of Princess Anne Road
that we understand will be coming at some point in the future, as well as a dedication of
approximately Y2 acre of land to preserve and protect Nimmo Church. The homes to be
located on this area, and we will come back to that slide. I wanted to point out for you are
brick colonial and design, Georgia Revival Architecture that will be high quality material
such as brick or wood or real stucco. There won't be any EIFS or any vinyl in the
community. The homes will all be built on crawl spaces and will have either rear or side
garages unless the garage is located farther back than the rear of the house that is located
on that property. A couple of other items. The price ranges for this development is going
to be in the $600,000-$800,000 range. So they are high quality materials and a very high
quality development. If you would turn back to the slide, I wanted to let you know that
we have met on four occasions with the Three Oaks community. I understand that a
couple of their representatives are here, and I wanted to point out the issues that we have
been able to negotiate with them and then focus on the last issue that we have come to an
agreement on but I wanted to point out. Initially when our engineers and the applicant
filed this application, the entrance was proposed along Princess Anne Road. They have
spent considerable time during this process working with the city planning staff and
traffic engineering department to come up with an acceptable alignment at the entrance
along Princess Anne Road. That also is the reason for the street closure application that
is a component of this overall development. The street closure has been negotiated with
Dr. Francois who owns FM Associates and has a veterinarian practice there. He will be
getting this section of the street closure and it will increase the size of his lot and will
allow him to configure the entrance to his property through our development instead of
the oddly shaped entrance that is presently located along Princess Anne Road. A couple
of the issues we had and discussed with the community on. Several of the residents along
the storm water pond were concerned about the size of these lots initially. We were able
to expand it greatly. I will point out the average lot size in this community is
approximately 16,000 square feet. The smallest is in the 11,000 square foot range. We
have some that are over 20,000 square feet, and the larger ones are along this area.
Another issue that was raised in the early session dealt with the buffering. And as pointed
out, the owners of the property of Three Oaks, their property lines go to our side, I guess
of the canal here, so they actually own this property here. There is going to be an existing
strip of trees that will remain we will not be able to touch them as they are part of the
other property owner's property. I will point out our open space, the Homeowners
Association open space has connectivity with an internal trail system. There are
sidewalks on both sides of the property. Probably the issues that we spent the most time
on with the community deals with the connection of Kindling Hollow Road, which is
here on the site plan. The residents of the neighborhood have objected strongly to that.
They pretty much from day one and 'first meeting we had with them said they did not
want our neighborhood to connect with theirs. As we have gone through the planning
process, we understand that the City's subdivision ordinance requires us to show
connectivity but I wanted to represent to you that if it's the will of the Commission and
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 3
the City Council, our applicant does not wish to show a vehicular connection. This
morning there was some discussion whether we would be willing to install pedestrian
connectivity such as bike trails or walking paths between the communities. Weare, of
course, willing to build a road. However, the residents of Three Oaks, I believe are
opposed to that notion. So we would, again, seek your direction on that. I would point
out that if connectivity is eliminated the change in the site plan would be that Mathews
Way would be basically a loop road with a single entrance off of Princess Anne Road.
We would eliminate this and it would become and these lots may change just a little bit
but there would be no connection between the neighborhoods. There would be no cul-de-
sac here as well. It would be just a loop road system. So, with that, I will standby for any
questions and ask for your recommendation for approval.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Maynard? Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: The same one I asked this morning. Is it not only going to be
pedestrian friendly but bike friendly as well? Is the developer going to put in not only
sidewalks for pedestrians but trails for bicycles? Not only in the open space that Parks
and Recreation are going to do it but within the development itself along the streets? It is
very important that they have bicycle access as well.
Jeff Maynard: Our development will have trail systems here and sidewalks all the way
around that will accommodate bicycle access.
Eugene Crabtree: It will be large enough and wide enough for bicycles and use them as
bike paths as well?
Jeff Maynard: Yes. I would point out that we are going to dedicate this portion to the
City.
Eugene Crabtree: I understand that. But this is above and beyond what the City is going
to do.
Jeff Maynard: Right.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Thank you Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support of the application we have Robert Kellam.
Robert Kellam: Actually, I was just asked to fill out a card. I have nothing to add.
Joseph Strange: Good. Speaking in opposition, the first opposition is Dennis Meligonis.
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 4
Barry Knight: Welcome sir.
Dennis Meligonis: Good afternoon.
Barry Knight: Please state your name for the record.
Dennis Meligonis: I'm Dennis Meligonis. I'm the President of the Three Oaks Homes
Association. This time I am representing the residents of the neighborhood and we do
have several. I would like for them to stand please. Confirming with the developer, our
opposition to this neighborhood is the connection to Kindling Hollow Road. Basically
we have two reasons why we don't want that road connected. Three Oaks neighborhood
is a little over 20 years old. We have a very, very low crime rate. We feel this is because
of the one entrance and exit into the neighborhood, we haven't had any major crimes
because we don't have an escape route but if you did connect the Kindling Hollow Road
that would allow an escape route out of the back of our neighborhood. The second issue
is we are in a school walking zone. We did have the new elementary school built behind
our neighborhood. We don't have sidewalks in our neighborhood. So all of the children
in the neighborhood have to walk on the streets to school. With the Kindling Hollow
connector being in back of the neighborhood that would certainly cause a change in
traffic patterns and certainly cause increase traffic to the back of the neighborhood where
a majority of the students would be walking to school. Approximately in the last 24
months there have been several neighborhoods within a three-mile radius of Three Oaks.
Some of them are Princess Anne Quarter, Victoria Park in Virginia Beach, High Court,
Chelsea Place, and Seaboard Forest. All of these are single entrance and exit
neighborhoods and we feel we should have the same consideration as those
neighborhoods with one entrance and one exit. Like I said, in summary our neighborhood
is over 20 years. We really, really like our one entrance and exit. We hope that you make
this recommendation to City Council. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: You say you're objecting to the vehicular access but would you object to a
pedestrian access from that neighborhood to your neighborhood with that connectivity?
Dennis Meligonis: Probably not. Of course, I am representing the community and we
really didn't discuss that with our community. We had several meetings with the builder.
Basically representing the neighborhood here was just for the road connection.
Barry Knight: Any other comments? Mr. Henley.
Al Henley: Mr. Meligonis. On the question that Mr. Bernas just asked if for some reason
that the road is not connected, once again, I think it is very important to open up
neighborhoods with trail systems primarily pedestrian as well as bicycle traffic as well.
Take into consideration with the proposal that Three Oaks has a great opportunity to
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 5
enjoy the open space that is going to be dedicated by the applicant. So the enjoyment
there and not just for that neighborhood would be also be enjoyed by the surrounding
neighborhoods just like Three Oaks. Does that sound attractive to you?
Dennis Meligonis: Yes.
AI Henley: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions or comments? Sir, I would like to note that
it looks like there are some options on the table. Opening it up for vehicular traffic,
which you all don't want, completely closing it for some sort of compromise. I've heard,
so far and in some informal discussions that it looks like it would be appropriate to open
it up for pedestrian traffic and trail traffic. And also, with what else is being discussed is
possibly getting a city deeded right-of-way, a deed access in there because you don't
know what is going to happen in 15 or 20 years but don't put a road in there now. There
has also been some discussion and the Fire Department has some break away barriers or
some gates that they can go through with keys or electronics that wouldn't be used by
anyone except for an extreme emergency of a fire or something. So, I would just like to
throw that out for some other residents that are going to speak to be aware that we have
some options. It's maybe all or nothing or maybe some sort of compromise. Thank you
sir.
Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Renee Swinson.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Please state your name for the record.
Renee Swinson: Renee Swinson. I'm a seven year resident of Three Oaks and I live in
the house adjacent to the proposed development on the end of Kindling Hollow Road. I
do support Dennis' stand on opposing a road going through since I live right there but I
would like to go further and say that I actually oppose the entire development. I am here
to voice my opposition. As Dennis mentioned, currently there are numerous residential
developments being proposed and built, and with this increase in density, I begin to
question the need for this development. Over the past few years, the following have been
considered for development within the Princess Anne section. Chelsea Place, Sherwood
Lakes, Mayberry, Highcourt, Heritage Park, Victoria Park, Asheville Park, Nimmo's
Quay and Seaboard Acres. On Sunday, June 11,2006, the Virginian Pilot published an
article on the Pungo Village Public Hearings and reported that in the last three years over
800 homes have been approved for development in the Transition Area. One Tuesday,
June 13, 2006, the Pilot ran another article on three proposed developments, two of which
are in the Princess Anne Corridor. The article focused on the opposition of these
developments particularly that the residents worry that the growth is outstripping the
city's ability to repair for the roads and other services. As a 35 year resident of Virginia
Beach, I concur with this opposition based on my concern with the city's inability to
provide the necessary services proportional to the proposed density increases. Just last
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 6
night, Sherwood Lakes development was approved by City Council. With all these
developments and the hundred of houses they constitute, what is the need for another
development? Kellam High School is already overcrowded. The new Three Oaks
Elementary School is over booked for next year. With the increase in density these
developments represent, these schools will have a difficult time accommodating the
children. I have a daughter who will attend Three Oaks Elementary next year and I am
disheartened to think that she may have to attend class in a portable in a two-year old
school. A lot of citizens moved to the Transition Area to get away from the
overcrowding of northern Virginia Beach. In talks with some other Three Oaks residents
that have asked me when is growth and progress a detriment? The Transition Area serves
as a land use buffer between the urban northern portion of the city and the rural southern
portion of the city. Land use in density within this area should not be a continuation of
either form but a transition from one to the other. I want to thank you for your time and
consideration and I am opposed to this request.
Barry Knight: Thank you ma'am. Are there any questions? Thank you.
Joseph Strange: The next speaker BJ. Giancola.
BJ. Giancola: My name is B.J. Giancola.
Ed Weeden: Sir, identify yourself in the mic.
B.J. Giancola: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My name is B.J. Giancola. My
wife and I have lived at Three Oaks at Kindling Hollow Road for the past 19 years. In the
past six months we conducted a survey of Three Oaks homeowners and I would like to
submit the original petition with 13 copies containing the signatures of 189 homeowners
who oppose having a connection entry/exit from Mathews Green to Three Oaks
community. This represents a majority of the homeowners. The proposed connection
will only cause significant increase in traffic through our neighborhood, additional
congestion to the entrance of Three Oaks and increase safety issues for children who ride
bikes, motor scooters and walk our streets with no sidewalks. During several meetings of
the Three Oaks Homeowners Association, Mathews Green developers stated they would
agree to with the majority of the Three Oaks homeowners to move the proposed
connection from the plans if they had permission from the City Planning Commission and
Council. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen Prochilo for her outstanding
feedback with the Three Oaks homeowners and Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Swinson for
providing assistance in conducting the survey and Ms. Dalton for making copies of the
petition. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Before you make any decision
I would just like to comment that as far as the emergency vehicles, I really don't see
where it would gain any benefit by having any kind of access there. If they are going to
have any problems it is going to be in either Three Oaks or it is going to be in Highgate
Greens. I can't see where it is reasonable that if it is Mathews Green that they would be
cutting through or going through Three Oaks in order to get to an a emergency in

Mathews Green. We have been here for 19 years and I've never heard of any kind of
block up in front entrance of Three Oaks where an emergency vehicle couldn't get
through. I don't think that is a problem. In the past few days I heard all this talk about the
pedestrian right of way. The people that I have talked they don't want any connection
there. We already have a problem whether people that already live there know, there are
a lot of children and they're not only riding bikes but they are motorized scooters. That
would just add between the developments of increased traffic.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions?
B.J. Giancola: Should I submit these?
Barry Knight: Give them to Mr. Livas. That will be fine.
Joseph Strange: That concludes the opposition of speakers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: I don't have anything else to add other than what we said in our primary
presentation. I guess with regard to the opposition general to the development. While
our applicant can't solve all the city's traffic or other problems, we are dedicating a
substantial area for future right-of-way improvements, which is a considerable value as
well as taking property that is zoned agricultural and adding it to the tax base or to a
higher rate. I'll standby for any questions. Again, we understand the community and Mr.
Giancola petition. He had informed us earlier that the community doesn't want any
connectivity whether that be a pedestrian or vehicular. So, our applicant, again is willing
to do that which that the Planning Commission recommends. I would ask for your
direction on that.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Maynard, about the right-turn in lane? Please address
that.
Jeff Maynard: Sure. There is not enough property for the benefit of everyone. The right
turn in lane that Mr. Knight is referring to is on Princess Anne Road here. There is not
enough land on the Mathews Green property to install a standard a right turn deceleration
lane. However, our applicant is committed and our client is committed that during the
site plan review process to install a right turn lane that allows for some vehicle stacking
into the development.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Maynard. We all know that it is very, very congested in
that neck of the woods. Anything that we can help do to facilitate traffic flow in that area
is going to be somewhat of a help. Are there any questions for Mr. Maynard? Mr.
Bernas?
Item #16 & 17

Jay Bernas: Is the applicant willing to work with staff prior to going to City Council on
providing pedestrian access? As I understand it, and staff correct me if I am wrong that
Three Oaks will have a pedestrian access to Sherwood Lakes that was recently approved.
Correct me if I'm wrong if that is true or not?
Karen Prochilo: Highgate Greens has a pedestrian access to LBH (Sherwood Lakes).
Three Oaks does not have any connection currently with any developments. This is a
proposed connection but it is a street tie connection. That is how it is being proposed.
Jay Bernas: So is the applicant willing to work with staff, I guess on providing some sort
of pedestrian access? Just like Mr. Henley had mentioned that Three Oaks would also
have the benefit of this tremendous open space that this development will be providing?
Jeff Maynard: The applicant is certainly willing to do it. In fact, the applicant is willing
to install a road. However, as we represented to the community we would support their
direction on this initiative. We understand that 189 members, a majority as Mr. Giancola
has pointed out opposes the application for that reason, then we of course wouldn't want
that.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: Mr. Maynard, the road that you designed to connect to Three Oaks, the
street stub that is shown on the plat, that was an existing street stub that you designed too,
I assume that you didn't have to acquire?
Jeff Maynard: That is correct.
Ronald Ripley: That was envisioned as a conductor when Three Oaks was platted? I
assume?
Jeff Maynard: Right. We reviewed the plat for Three Oaks at the time and there was no
cul-de-sac provided at that time. We looked in fact to see if there were additional notes
or anything that pointed to future connection but all that was shown on the original plat
was a street stub and not a cul-de-sac. So we assumed that was provided for future
connection.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Livas.
Henry Livas: Did your original plan call for that connectivity or did you do it as a result
of the city forcing you too?
Jeff Maynard: Our original plan showed the connectivity and I don't know if it was the
Item # 16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 9
city forcing us to do it because it was part of the requirement of the subdivision
ordinance. I think Mr. Kellam and his engineering firm originally designed the
application to comply with the subdivision ordinance.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: Yes. If you do not put a vehicular connection there and it is just a bike
and pedestrian, that would sort of connect your community as well as the Greenway to the
Three Oaks neighborhood, and it would give the Three Oaks neighborhood a much larger
area for their recreational purposes or whatever. Do you have any idea of what the City's
'Parks and Recreation plans to do with the open space or really what they plan to put in
there other than just trails?
Jeff Maynard: We haven't gotten an indication from the City on that. The only thing that
we did discuss was at the time we agreed to dedicate that space to the city. We wanted it
to remain as an urban forest. So we included a restriction that we didn't want ball fields
or that type of recreation.
Eugene Crabtree: No. But did you put any restriction on there as far as other leisure
activities other than just biking and walking?
Jeff Maynard: Right. What I included in the restriction, I think was the term "passive
recreational use", which would be walking and hiking trails.
Eugene Crabtree: Alright. But that is going to be Parks and Recreation?
Jeff Maynard: Yes. As I understand it as I confirmed with Karen.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Maynard? Thank you Mr. Maynard.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you.
Barry Knight: I'll open it up for discussion. Mr. Henley.
Al Henley: I would like to compliment the applicant as well as the staff and the ability to
work and discuss the many issues that have arisen as a result of this application. I believe
the application is an application that has been well thought out, well planned. It would
certainly compliment the neighborhood of Three Oaks and the surrounding area. I may
want to mention that very seldom we have an opportunity that a number of applicants will
actually benefit the city, the neighborhood. The applicants have dedicated additional
property that is directly across from the historical structure mainly called Nimmo Church.
And I had a letter in possession that was signed by the church applauding that, which I
thought was really gracious of the proposed development. Along with that the dedication,
the deed, the proposed Princess Anne Road relocation is also very beneficial to the traffic
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 10
situation that everyone is aware of. This will certainly benefit alleviating a lot of the
traffic concerns in that particular cross intersection. The open space will also benefit the
city, that particular neighborhood of Mathews Green, as well as Three Oaks, and the other
surrounding neighborhoods to enjoy the open space and large canopy trees that are
present in that particular area along with the trails that are proposed for that area.
Understand that the street connection is a standard that the City of Virginia Beach has
adopted years ago, and obviously was adopted for a purpose because at one particular
time there were locked in neighborhoods and nobody could gain access. There was one
way in and one way out. Unfortunately, life and loss of life and threatening of structures
because of fire and staff had to get along with fire and rescue and they established this
ordinance. We had a real neat year to be exercised and that is to open up neighborhoods
to avoid unfortunate critical situations to avoid death, emergency situations, heart attacks,
fire and rescue. As the gentlemen pointed out they never had that situation arise in Three
Oaks. I think that is very fortunate and we all hope that we would never have that
particular situation to occur. But it only takes one situation. One particular critical
incident and people begin to think if that only other access would have been open and we
would have had a clearer shot because minutes count when life is in limbo. Again,
minutes count when a fire engine cannot get there appropriately in time. That is
something that is real life situation. I can clearly understand the resident at the end of that
particular street. I have had my solitude. I can clearly understand and appreciate where
those individuals are coming from. However, when you look at the future of the city, and
the future of well planned neighborhoods, I think it is the only way to go. Bottom line,
City Council will be the one that will be listening to this to make a decision whether that
street connection will, in fact be open to traffic or it will be closed or if it is an option
possibly pedestrian and bikeway systems. I, for one, believe that bikeway and not
encouraged to vehicular traffic. I am not in support of that even though it is against city
staff, and I hate to go against city staff but I realize that on the books they had to
recommend that for the public well being. But I can clearly sympathize with that
neighborhood. If I lived there I would probably not want that myself but I would be
delighted to have a cross connection or pedestrian as well as bikeways. The elevation that
is proposed in this is an excellent opportunity for an upgraded upscale neighborhood that
everyone can certainly be proud of. It is a close knit neighborhood with trails that they
could enjoy, bikeways and the tremendous open space behind canopy trees that is present
in that particular area. I can go on but I'm not going to delay any longer. I will say I will
be supporting this for those reasons that I mentioned today. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Henley. Are there any other comments?
Eugene Crabtree: Just one quick one. I want to ditto AI's comments and say that as far
as the pedestrian and bike connectivity, the Bike and Trails Committee that has been
formed in the last year here in the city has worked very diligently and has made
recommendations, and we've changed the Comprehensive Plan to try to connect the
entire city with pedestrian and bike access so that we could go from one point in the city
to the next. All over. No matter where it is, all the old neighborhoods, all the new
Item #16 & 17
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.c.
Page 11
neighborhoods and all. So, I too support the connectivity of the bike and trails. If for no
other reason than for the continuity of us having our communities connected so that we
can go and flow from one to the other throughout the city, which we hope some day to
run from over the Amphibious Base Little Creek all the way down to the city line going
towards Knotts Island. We hope someday to have connectivity.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Are there any other comments? Discussion? The
Chair will entertain a motion.
Al Henley: I'll make a motion to approve.
Ronald Ripley: Second.
Barry Knight: A motion to approve by Al Henley and a second by Ron Ripley. Mr.
Henley, tell us again that you are approving it as stated or any changes between here and
Council?
Al Henley: I'm approving it as stated with the exception of not tying in the Three Oaks
. street for vehicular traffic. However, I wanted it to be a dedicated right-of-way joining
both neighborhoods with a pedestrian access and with also a bikeway. Those bikeways
and pedestrian will be paved for concrete.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is that your second Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: That is not my second. I withdraw my second.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second?
Janice Anderson: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson. Is there any discussion? There is a motion on the floor
with the adjustment made. We have a first by Al Henley and a second by Jan Anderson.
I'll call for the question.
Karen Prochilo: May we ask that the motion be with a surface approved by Parks and
Recreation, if that is possible?
Al Henley: Yes. I concur.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: That is fine.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Call for the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Terry O'Donnell- Conditional Use Permit (commercial kennel), 3596
Landstown Road (DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE)
MEETING DATE: August 22,2006
. Background:
Application of Terry O'Donnell for a Conditional Use Permit for a commercial
kennel on property located at 3596 Landstown Road (GPIN 1484643703).
DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE
. Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a commercial kennel on
the site. The applicant, in violation of the City Zoning Ordinance, began operation
of the kennel several months ago, with the animals housed in an improvised
kennel on the driveway to the home. The applicant was notified of the need for a
use permit, and thus, this request to the City Council.
The applicant proposes to breed and board dogs on the site within an 80-foot by
40-foot addition to his existing detached garage. The proposed addition will
match the exterior of the existing building. The submitted drawing for the interior
of the building depicts 28 pens for the animals. Hours of operation will be daily
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be one employee on-site.
The proposed kennel does not meet the required 100-foot setback from the
property line, nor does the submitted drawing indicate that the new building is to
be soundproof and air-conditioned, as the ordinance requires of a commercial
kennel. The applicant has not provided information as to the method of waste
disposal, nor provided parking for the use. Staff, therefore, has recommended
conditions with the use permit requiring that these issues be satisfactorily
addressed before the proposed kennel can begin operation.
Also of note is that there have been and are several zoning violations on the site.
First the applicant operates his business, O'Donnell Construction, Inc., from the
site. While this is allowed as an accessory use, the storage of materials,
commercial equipment, and more than one commercial vehicle is prohibited. The
applicant also has several "containers" located on the site. There are also
inoperative vehicles stored on the site. Generally, the site appears to be a bulk
storage yard for many different items. Staff advised Mr. O'Donnell that the site
Terry O'Donnell
Page 2 of 2
needed to be cleaned up and organized, and he has accomplished some of the
work needed to eliminate the violations.
There was opposition to the request, expressed by letter and petition.
. Recommendations:
Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 6-3 to deny this
request.

promoting this area as a well-planned, low density, fiscally sound and desirable destination for people to
live, work, and play.

Staff recommends approval of this
request with conditions
recommended by staff, which are

designed to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding area and to correct existing
zoning violations on the site. The recommended conditions are provided below.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. The
Comprehensive Plan recognizes that non-residential developments within the Transition Area should be
scaled to accommodate local neighborhood needs and designed for compatibility with the surrounding
neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan also recognizes the need to protect natural resources and
existing uses from adverse impacts of proposed development and land uses. In practical terms, this
means making every effort to reduce densities, provide protective buffers and, where practical, retain the
natural setting of the area to be developed.
However there are several deficiencies with the request. The applicant is currently operating the kennel,
with the animals housed in a makeshift kennel on the driveway to the home. The proposed kennel does
not meet the required 100-foot setback from the property line, nor does the submitted drawing indicate
that the building is to be soundproof and air-conditioned, as the ordinance requires of a commercial
kennel. The applicant has not provided information as to the method of waste disposal, nor provided
parking for the use.
Additionally during the site visit, staff discovered several zoning violations. First the applicant operates his
business, O'Donnell Construction, Inc., from the site. While this is allowed as an accessory use, the
storage of materials, commercial equipment, and more than one commercial vehicle is prohibited. The
applicant also has several "containers" located on the site. There are also inoperative vehicles stored on
the site. Generally, the site appears to be a bulk storage yard for many different items. Staff advised Mr.
O'Donnell that the site needed to be cleaned up and organized.
CONDITIONS
Conditions 1, 2, and 3 shall be accomplished within GO-days of City Council approval
and before any building permits and or business license is issued.
1. All construction materials, equipment, debris, and vehicles shall be removed from the site except for
one commercial vehicle not rated for more than one-ton carrying capacity, no taller than seven feet
and no longer than 20-feet.
2. All wrecked, junked and inoperative vehicles shall be removed form the site.
3. All containers shall be removed from the site.
4. The applicant shall obtain a variance for the required 100-foot side yard setback from the Board of
Zoning Appeals or shall move the proposed building to meet the required setback.
5. The applicant shall provide on-site parking for the use at a ratio of 1 parking space for every 400
square feet of building area. The parking area may be gravel provided the Building Code Official
approves a waiver to on-site improvements.
6. The applicant shall install a commercial entrance to the site from Landstown Road.
7. The applicant shall provide building plans addressing sound attenuation as required in the Ul}jfqrm

Statewide Building Code, and soundproofing and air-conditioning as required in the City Zoning
Ordinance for a commercial kennel.
8. The applicant shall provide information regarding the method of waste disposal for the kennel.
9. The applicant shall provide an evergreen screen along the northeastern property line, behind the
proposed kennel and existing garage.
10. Upon one (1) year from the date of approval, the Zoning Administrator shall administratively review the
Conditional Use Permit. If, at such time, the Zoning Administrator determines that the Commercial
Kennel needs additional consideration, based upon complaints or noncompliance with the conditions,
the Conditional Use Permit will be referred back to the Planning Commission and City Council. In the
event that no valid complaints have been made, the Conditional Use Permit shall remain in effect.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to
meet all applicable City Codes.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police
Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

Item #18
Terry O'Donnell
Conditional Use Permit
3596 Landstown Road
District 7
Princess Anne
July 12,2006
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 18, Terry O'Donnell. Application of Terry
O'Donnell for a Conditional Use Permit for a commercial kennel on property located at
3596 Landstown Road, District 7, Princess Anne, with ten conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Please state your name.
Terry O'Donnell: Terry O'Donnell.
Barry Knight: Okay. You can go ahead and proceed.
=
Terry O'Donnell: Okay. The application today is for a commercial dog kennel. I had
Labrador Retrievers for as long as I can remember. I really have had not more than 6
dogs at one time that are over the age of 6 months, which under the age of 6 months is not
considered an actual dog. But, I do sell them in the Trading Post when they have pups
and so forth, and I thought it would be a little better to go ahead. I can take care of my
dogs a little better if I had an actual building. I thought, well, if I am going to build a
building, then it would be nice to maybe have some stalls where I could board; so, hence
the application. Because I do know there is a law that says that you can only have four
dogs on one property, even though my property is 5 acres. The law is that you can only
have four dogs in a townhouse or on my property, which is much larger. I don't
understand the logic of that, but it is the law. That is why were here. I am thankful that I
placed this even if it is not approved. You come home, and you go to and from your
property. I bought a car for my daughter. Well, she didn't want it; so, it is sitting there. I
got another vehicle, because it was good deal, and I was going to fIx it. Nah, I didn't get
to that. Before long, after 15 years of this, I got a mess, and I have spent the last, well
since this thing started, all this time pretty much cleaning up. I still have a little bit work
to do but it is by far a much more pleasant place to come home to at the moment. I have
taken loads of trash. I've gotten rid of vehicles. I have given vehicles away. I have done
many different things to come into compliance. I was not here at the 9:00 am meeting,
but somebody said, or I was told by a third party, and I might be wrong; somebody said
that I stated that I wouldn't do anything unless this is approved. That is not the case. If
you guys tell me to stand on my head, I will be glad to do that for whatever reason. I'm
more than happy to comply with whatever you guys say. But evidence shows that I had
taken, and there have been people to come back and check, and they have stated that I
have been in compliance or that I am now in compliance. So, I'm more than willing, and
Item #18
Terry O'Donnell
Page 2
I have done everything that you guys mentioned that I need to do, with the minor
exception that there is something stated in the rules that I have many containers. I don't
have many. I have two actually. They are shipping containers. They are 40-foot
containers. They are allowable according to AG-2, but it is one of the stipulations here
that I get rid of those. I'd rather not if I could avoid that, but if I had a choice between the
kennel or the two containers, well then I would get rid of them. But it would be helpful
because I could store dog food and things and all those sort of things in there. The
stipulation of the sound-proofing and the air conditioning. I will be more than happy to
comply with that. I'm not exactly sure of the exact details of the sound-proofing, but I'm
sure at the building permit office, I can get a real good handle on what is required there.
'Sewage. .. whether it be tying into the City sewer that is already existing or whether I put
in a septic system just for the dogs, I'll do either one; whatever seems more reasonable. I
guess that is about it.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. O'Donnell. Okay. Thank you sir. I'll
open it up to discussion within Commission members. Who wants to start?
Dorothy Wood: I didn't drive by it, but I understand that from some of my fellow
Commissioners, it was still not cleaned up the way we would like to have it cleaned.
Maybe we should defer? Ms. Katsias mentioned that to me before she left.
=
Eugene Crabtree: I wasn't on the last trip so I don't know. I wasn't there the first time
we went out; so, I don't know what it looked like then. It hasn't been drastically
improved over what was there, I would be reluctant to go forward with it.
Barry Knight: Mr. Henley?
Al Henley: I think it needs closure on it for the neighborhood as well as this gentleman. I
think we ought to act on it today.
Barry Knight: Okay. We've closed the public hearing portion of it. Is there any other
discussion amongst the members? Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: I think it has been improved since the first time we saw it. It still needs a
little bit more improvement, which the applicant admitted to; so, I think he is headed in
the right direction. He has made a significant improvement.
Barry Knight: Are there any other comments? The Chair will entertain a motion.
Joseph Strange: Well, I still think it needs a deferral on it myself. I saw a lot of
improvement there, and we've heard different versions of his attitude towards this whole
thing. We've heard his version today. He seems to be cooperative, and it kind of looks
like it could use a little bit more. So, I think a deferral is needed. That is just my opinion.
Item #18
Terry O'Donnell
Page 3
Barry Knight: The Chair will still entertain a motion to approve or to deny or to defer?
AI Henley: I would like to make a motion to deny.
Barry Knight: Mr. Al Henley made a motion to deny. Do I have a second to Mr.
Henley's motion?
John Waller: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Mr. Waller will second. Is there any discussion? Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I was just going to say that I'm kind of half way on this between the
deferral and the denial. I know it has been deferred once. There have been some
improvements that I think are in the right direction. I think the condition said that the
other conditions had to be done within 60 days. I wouldn't approve it that way. I would
like to see it done before we approve it. But, the other thing that concerns me is the letter
that we received today of the neighbors about the dogs getting loose, and not being picked
up after the dogs in the neighbor's yards, and issues like that. I don't know if that
couldn't have gotten addressed during the deferral. I'm just not quite sure which way.
=
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? Okay. There is a motion on the floor to
deny by AI Henley and a second by John Waller. If you vote AYE, it is to deny. So we
will call for the question.

DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
. Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a home occupation for
wildlife rehabilitation on the site. The applicant has been a rehabilitator for five

applicant daily, and the general public brings animals atvarious times of the day.
The peak season is April through August. Most animals are contained outdoors
in the rear yard. Some baby animals and birds are housed indoors. The number
of animals varies from month to month.
The pens and aviary all have hay bedding, which is cleaned out once a week,
with spot cleaning of excess droppings at least every other day. The ponds for
the waterfowl are drained and cleaned weekly, and chlorinated to reduce the
potential for odors and mosquito breeding.
Staff recommended approval of the request, concluding the proposal, with the
recommended conditions, is compatible with the adjacent residential
neighborhood and the business areas. The applicant provides a valued service to
the community. The conditions recommended by staff are intended to ensure

Item #7
Carol Case
Conditional Use Permit
113 Matt Lane
District 6
Beach
July 12, 2006
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 7, Carol Case. Application of Carol Case for a
Conditional Use Permit for a home occupation (wildlife rehabilitator) on property located
at 113 Matt Lane, District 6, Beach, with five conditions.
Barry Knight: We1come ma' am.
Carol Case: Hi. How are you?
Barry Knight: Please state your name for the record.
=
Carol Case: My name is Carol Case. Thank you. I'm in front of you to apply for a
Conditional Use Permit as a wildlife rehabilitator. As it states in the summary, I have
actually been rehabilitating for five years. I've rehabbed ducks, geese, squirrels, and
possums. I'm about the only one, I think in Hampton Roads area, not just Virginia
Beach, but the area that is actually rehabbing ducks and geese right now. I do have one
other person, and she has health issues right now that normally some of my geese go to,
which is the main topic of the smell in my yard. I will concur with the need for the smell
reduction. I do not like the smell myself. I have read the conditions and I do agree with
them. I don't have a problem with that. It will take a little bit financially to get it done,
but I will get that done. My only main question would be the back pen that I have in my
yard, and I would need some clarification from, I guess zoning, which I will need to talk
with them, as far as what the actual code would be as far as that pen, how far I have to
have it from my fence now? Right now, it is right up against the fence.
Barry Knight: Ms. Christie, could you address that?
Faith Christie: Ten feet.
Barry Knight: Ten feet.
Carol Case: Ten feet. Okay. I have read some of the zoning and it was five feet for a
certain size.
Faith Christie: Less than 150 square feet.
Item #7
Carol Case
Page 2
Barry Knight: She said ten feet.
Carol Case: Okay. We will get that done. I'm not going to be here long. I'm just here.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Ms. Wood, did you have a question?
Dorothy Wood: I have a comment. I certainly appreciate what you do, and I know that it
is important to work with our wildlife, and take care of the possums, and the duck and the
geese. My only concern is I would not particularly like to have this next to my house on a
small lot. Could you not do this in an area like the ASPCA where there is a lot of land
and it is not a residential area? I think most people like the quiet, maybe the fragrance of a
rose bush, rather than an animal. I wonder if it was a possibility that you could do this in
another area?
=
Carol Case: Okay. As far as the ASPCA, my main thing right now is all wildlife
rehabilitation for the most part in this area is volunteers and people who do it in their
homes. There is not a rehabilitation center in the area that this can be done at. I am
actually, to tell the truth, investigating trying to do this. There is a lot involved in order to
get a rehab center. Number one, you have to have a place, like you said, and also
volunteers and financial backing in order to do this. You also have to get the IRS and
your 501C3. That is a very long process. I am trying. I am in the incubation stage for
trying to do this myself. I am discussing it with my peers, and looking through avenues in
order to do this. Unfortunately, that is something that is probably years before it will
happen. Every animal that comes into my care is temporary. As a matter of fact, before I
came here, I had a gentleman come and take 50 ducks that are releaseable. Another issue,
especially with the City of Virginia Beach right now and Mount Trashmore, are the
Muscovy Ducks that nobody seems to like. Every Muscovy duck that comes into my care
goes to a farm. I have people in Suffolk, Smithfield, Ivor and a couple of farms in North
Carolina where all Muscovy ducks that come into my care go to.
Dorothy Wood: What is the top number of animals that you have had at anyone time?
Carol Case: At one time, between the animals that I have indoors, which are anywhere...
Dorothy Wood: Those are your pets?
Carol Case: No. When the first come into my care normally, they are anywhere from one
day to two or three weeks old. I am talking about ducks that can fit in the palm of your
hand. I have separate caging areas that I have to clean twice a day. Believe me, I know
the smell issue. I do my best to keel? and keep that smell issue down. At one time, I've
probably had 150, and that is when I said that no more, unfortunately, especially when
you're talking Muscovy's or any kind of domestic.
Item #7
Carol Case
Page 3
Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias.
Kathy Katsias: The length of time that they stay in this facility?
Carol Case: From hatch to release, a duck is eight weeks old.
Kathy Katsias: And do you get compensated?
Carol Case: No ma'am. None whatsoever. All ofthis comes out of my pocket.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: Just a statement. I am not in favor of home rehabilitation. I believe in
rehabilitation. I think animals need to be taken care of, but I am in favor of what you said
rehabilitation center, an individual home to do it in mass. If you've got more than 10
animals in your yard, you've got too many. That is my opinion. And consequently, I am
not for this. I'm for what you are doing, but I am not for it in a neighborhood. I will be
honest with you. I can't support it in a neighborhood. If you had it any place other than
the neighborhood, I would back you 100 percent. But I can't do it in the neighborhood.
=
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for the applicant. Thank you ma' am.
Carol Case: Just one quick response. The closest rehabilitation center is the Wildlife
Center of Virginia, which is in Waynesboro.
Barry Knight: Thank you ma' am. I will open it up for discussion for any of the
Commission members.
Dorothy Wood: Well I agree with Gene in that there are too many animals. I do feel for
the neighbors. I wish that Ms. Case could work with the ASPCA to keep the animals
there or in some other area. I understand this is not available now. I'm on the side of the
neighbors who are suffering because of the animals. Because of that I won't be able to
support it ether.
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: I'm pretty much in agreement with them, because I think all of us have
compassion for sick animals. I think society as a whole demonstrates by donating
millions and millions of dollars to help take care of animals every year. But I think it is
unfair to ask this lady's neighbors to bear the smell of this. It is not our place to do this,
but I just wonder why some of these other people who are donating millions and millions
of dollars to every year can't seem to get together and find a place to take care of these
animals. It is just a statement I would like to make.
Item #7
Carol Case
Page 4
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: Yes. I would be on the side of the neighbors to, and I certainly hope we
can find other ways to take care of these animals. For the meantime, I would have to
support the neighbor's position.
Barry Knight: Okay. Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I would support the application with the new condition 5 for an annual
review. I believe this is needed in the area. I'm very glad that we have her at the Beach,
and she will do it, and take care of these animals. We have animals allover. Virginia
Beach is developing, and unfortunately, the wildlife gets caught. So, she is there to
rehabilitate. I believe that condition 5 as rewritten protects the neighbors. It is a year
review. This is not just a year review upon the conditions. If they have continued issues,
they can put additional conditions, and if the neighbors still have problems, they could
terminate the use permit. I would be supporting, with how it is written now.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? Mr. Bernas?
=
Jay Bernas: I got a question for staff. How many complaints were received? Is there a
log of how many complaints were received based on the current operation?
Faith Christie: I don't have that information.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? The Chair will entertain a motion.
Joseph Strange: I would like to make a motion that the application be denied.
Eugene Crabtree: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to deny agenda item 7, Carol Case. There
was a first was made by Joseph Strange and a second made by Gene Crabtree. Is there
any additional discussion? I'll call for the question.

To Whom It May Concern:
RE: Carol Case - 113 Matt Lane, Virginia Beach, VA (GPIN 2407743456)
District 6 - Beach
I am the property owner of 2 duplexes located at 108 and 104 Bob Lane,
Virginia Beach, VA.
The back of 113 Matt Lane joins both of my properties. I have received
several complaints from the tenants concerning odors from the animals and
= frequent noise during the evening and daylight hours.
When the tenants are in the back yard having a cookout or the children are
playing, the animals continue to make annoying noises. The noise and odor
are so bad that the tenants cannot stay outside.
Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site as being within the "Rural Area." The Rural Area is defined
as agricultural/rural with uses related to farming, forestry, and rural residential, and other rurally
compatible uses. "From providing a legacy for a future generation of farmers, to providing habitat for
wildlife, keeping taxes low, and maintaining the rural community, the vision for our rural landscape is
important," (p.161, Policy Document).
Commercial development in the Rural Area should consist of locally oriented retail, service, and
community uses scaled to be compatible with the character of the rural landscape. As stated in the
Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 6, "Commercial retail development should be located in existing defined
rural commercial centers, such as Creeds and Blackwater, for supporting the rural community in lieu of
strip shopping center development."
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request with the proffers submitted by the applicant and with the
conditions recommended by staff.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. As
proposed, this use is in keeping with Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for limited locally oriented
development and, as proffered and conditioned, is compatible with surrounding uses. Staff, therefore,
recommends approval of the requests subject to the proffer agreement and the conditions listed below.
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,"
(9107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER 1:
The property will be developed, in substantial conformance with the conceptual site plan entitled "Re-
subdivision Plat of the Beulah Freeman Estate" dated October 1 0, 2005, including but not limited to vacating

streets. Any such lighting shall be directed and deflected down at the ground, and not out horizontally or up
in the air.

STAFF COMMENTS: The proffers listed above are acceptable as they dictate the level of quality of the
project and ensure the compatibility of the use with the surrounding area and its consistency with the policies

and Conditional Use Permit. I thank you for the opportunity to appear before you this
afternoon. Just to give you a little bit of background information, the Freemans settled in
this area back in 1948. With some years, it became evident that the Creeds area had a
need for a fire department, and so Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, who are children and daughter-
in-law to the Freemans decided to deed the property over to the Creeds Fire Department,
for their volunteer fire department. They donated the land for that purpose and had a
clause in the deed, which indicated that once the property was once no longer needed for
that purpose, it would revert back to the family. That happened about 7 or 8 years ago.
Since that time the old Creeds Fire Department building has remained on the site. An
opportunity was presented to Mr. Freeman's brother-in-law to utilize the property for auto
repair work. Unfortunately, Mr. Freeman, at that time, did not realize that he needed to
have the property rezoned. They incorrectly preceded under the assumption that it has
been used by the fire department and that they could continue to use it in that matter.
Once it was brought to their attention in the early part of last year that was not the case,
and it had been cited with zoning violation, they then contacted Ms. Prochilo in the
Planning Department, and then came to see me and asked if I would represent them in
seeking the rezoning. We've done that. I filed a zoning application, and as a result of my
discussions with Ms. Prochilo, who was very helpful and shared quite a bit of insight on
the application, which brings us to the application we have before you today. We have
provided several proffers and,conditions on how the property is to be utilized. There is
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 2
some opposition in regards to, not necessarily proposed use, but maybe some of the
activities that have gone on with regards to the property. And some of the proffers and
conditions have been included as a result of those concerns being brought forward to the
Zoning Department as well as the Planning staff. There are just a few proffers that I
wanted to mention to you. We did agree to limit the hours of operation, which we
originally said 8:00 to 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. We did agree to reduce that
to 8:00 to 6:00 pm. We also had some reports that people may have been living in the
building. There is a proffer now that prohibits anybody using the building for residential
purposes. And in addition, we limited that the work is to take place inside, and that all
equipment is to be stored inside the building. In anticipation of hopefully receiving your
recommendation for approval and City Council's approval, substantial work has been
done with regard to cleaning up the property. It has been a long afternoon, so I won't take
too much more of your time, but if you have any specific questions, I'm available to
answer them. I also have Mr. and Mrs. Freeman in the audience who are available as
well. I thank you for your time.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Not at this time.
Shepelle W atkins-White: Thank you.
=
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Neal and Janet Chaves.
Barry Knight: We1come.
Janet Chaves: Good afternoon. I'm Janet Chaves.
Neal Chaves: I'm Neal Chaves.
Janet Chaves: I live at 5660 Morris Neck Road, across the street diagonally. Do you
want me to use this? Right there. I'm not actually opposed to the business, but they have
been in violation for over a year. It has only been in the last 2 or 3 days that we have
compliance. My concern is that I'm asking for the Commission and the applicant to
comply with the City's rules and regulations, and also the business rules and regulations
for the City of Virginia Beach. I know, I only have three minutes, so I just want to go
down some of the condition 5. Being addressed is auto detailing. Is that going to be
inside? Where are they going to wash? They mention in condition 6 minor touch up.
Does that mean compressed paint sprayers? Will it be sales of vehicles? What about
deliveries? Supplies? What about deliveries of the vehicles on the carriers? What about
industrial waste disposal? There has been an army truck or a military truck for months,
and that is their dumpster. It has never been dumped. It is filled with trash. Personally,
they have been there 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, almost for over a year. So at 6:00,.
does that mean they close the bay doors, and then just the men work on their personal
vehicles? They have used Morris Neck Road, Fitztown Road, and Princess Anne Road as
a test track for their engines. The fact is that when they work on their vehicles, they
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 3
screech out and peel out. They go up to Fitztown Road and do the loop down Princess
Anne Road. Recently, there have been four wheelers and dirt bikes going around and
around the property, and on the adjacent fields that Mr. Freeman owns. He said he wasn't
aware of that. They haven't had a business license at that location since they have been
there. And, I would like to see sound buffers and landscaping, because I have full side
and full view. We don't know how many employees are going to be allowed. What are
the number of vehicles that would be allowed outside? They have lived in, on, and about
the premises for over a year. And, it was mentioned this morning about students. Until
the end of May, there were a lot of young people over there. I never saw any adult
supervIsIon.
Neal Chaves: During this past year, we were concerned that the City has not been able
enforce any of the regulations about living on the property and about the unlicensed
business and so on.
Janet Chaves: We would like to see compliance. We would like for them to use their
property and make money with it but we would like to see compliance. We would like to
know that someone is going to make them come into compliance with that.
=
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Ma'am. You live catty-corner. I
know exactly where you live.
Janet Chaves: One of Jones' old houses.
Barry Knight: With your line of sight, I guess your more concerned with the west side.
Janet Chaves: The west side and the full front. As soon as I walk out my door, that is all
that I see. For the past year, I have seen nothing but a sea of vehicles, congregations of
people, a lot of people coming and going at night, lots of partying. If they want to use it
for a legitimate business and have regular business hours, I don't have a problem with
that, as long as they meet all the conditions and proffers. A lot of things that I mentioned
in here were not even in the conditions for the proffers. What about garbage disposal?
There is no dumpster out there. Where would they put the dumpster? What hours would
they dump that commercial dumpster?
Barry Knight: The applicant's attorney is going to come up here, and we are certainly
going to ask her some of those questions. Are there any more questions? Thank you
ma'am and sir.
Joseph Strange: That is all the speakers.
Barry Knight: Okay. Welcome back.
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 4
Shepelle W atkins-White: Thank you again. Shepelle W atkins-White. In regards to some
of the concerns that she raised, and the first being with the auto detailing, we did restrict
that the auto repair would take place only inside, but I'm assuming if they are going to be
washing cars that would take place outside. In regards to bodywork, we did agree to limit
it to minor touch up. Extensive body detailing work would be taken care of, such as if
you got a big dent in your car, so you won't have the noise associated with those type of
auto repairs. The sale of vehicles... no sale of vehicles are permitted. That is not the
purpose of what the repair shop is for. The industrial waste, and when I spoke to Mr. and
Mrs. Chaves last week, I did learn there was a truck there. I actually went out, and it does
look they are using that to store what their debris is, but I don't know if anybody has had
an opportunity to go out to the site, but it is a very clean site. I certainly don't see that as
being a big issue. With regard to the buffering, our site plan calls for buffering, which we
will address those issues. As for the ongoing compliance, I've given the Chaves my
number as a way to contact if there are concerns. Additionally, Mr. Freeman's brother
lives in the house that is directly next-door. The Freemans live in the area. They have
indicated to me, and I am not certainly minimizing the concerns raised by Mr. & Mrs.
Chaves, but the activity they certainly have not observed anything to the extent that has
been before you. And, certainly with Mr. Freeman's brother living next door that would
certainly present an issue to comply about it as well. Again, I thank you for your time,
and I just ask you to support this matter and vote positively for it.
=
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? I've got a few. As far as trash disposal is
concerned, nobody doesn't want to see a dump truck sitting there, is there anything to be
done as far as the trash collection or disposal?
Shepelle- W atkins-White: I was just thinking off the top of my head. We could certainly
agree to a condition that would require regular disposal of waste in an appropriate matter
rather than having it stored outside sitting in the truck. I'm not opposed to that, and I
don't think the Freeman's would have an objection to that.
Barry Knight: As far as, and probably the appropriate thing there since it is going to be a
business there, is going to have a small dumpster. We certainly don't want that dumpster
being cleaned or dumped anytime other than the business hours. These business hours,
when it says close at 6:00 pm, it is going to mean close at 6:00 pm. It is time for them to
go home.
Shepelle Watkins-White: That is the understanding that I had. That you just don't pull
down the gates and go inside working. The business is closed at that time.
Barry Knight: That's right. Has there been any discussion about the number of vehicles
there? I think we need to put a number of vehicles as far. We don't want a hundred there
of course. You can't operate if you only have two, but if you come up with an
appropriate number and if somebody comes by and counts cars, we will know that they
are out of compliance.
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 5
Shepelle Watkins-White: Okay. I don't have a number off the top of my head. The
gentleman that would actually be running it is not here today. I'm certainly amenable to
it. It is a small site to start with, so I don't think we can have more than 25 cars. That is
probably pushing it.
Barry Knight: That is right. I think outside of the building, I would think 15 would be a
maximum for outside the building.
Shepelle Watkins-White: Outside and then?
Karen Prochilo: There is parking shown on the site layout. There are six spaces shown
outside the building.
Barry Knight: What is you recommendation Karen?
Karen Prochilo: We haven't spoken to them either. That is why we designatged six
parking spaces to ensure that they would be parking in the spaces and not on the grass or
any place.
Barry Knight: I think that is our limit right there then. Six outside the building.
=
Karen Prochilo: Right. Outside the building.
Barry Knight: Six outside the building. A little background. The Freemans were nice
enough to offer this property for many, many years as a fire station. It was very noisy
back in the old days. The siren went off, and the fire trucks were banging their bells and
going back and forth. It was a needed service. It was just a wonderful use of the property
back there. As soon as they get this building cleaned up, it is going to look a whole lot
better than the new fire station we have there, as far as the design.
Shepelle W atkins-White: I had nothing to do with that.
Barry Knight: I understand. Glen Freeman, who lives next door, he works a whole lot.
He is a hard working man. He works a whole lot. If Glen, because I know Gerald and
June Kay, they go out of town a lot, but if Glen will keep a close eye on this property by
living next door, as the neighbors, Glen would walk over there and make sure that is in
compliance, and we invite the neighbors to call if they see any discrepancies whatsoever,
because in the Comprehensive Plan, in rural south, this is a commercial node. They
specifically identify the little town of Creeds. So it is a proper use of zoning down there
if they stay in compliance with these conditions. And, they just need to pay attention. It
is a rural community down there. There is a need for some repair down there but they
have to follow within these guidelines.
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 6
Shepelle W atkins-White: I certainly stressed that, once the issues were brought to my
attention. I spoke with the Freeman's regarding that as well as Mr. McGuire. And
intended to follow up my discussion with him with a nice little letter that spelled out
specifically what the stipulations are and the adherence to those stipulation of what we
required.
Barry Knight: It is going to be because the people down there who live in our neck of the
woods. If they don't like what they see, they are going to take issue with it. We will have
further discussion, but I certainly hope that some of the Commissioners take in mind that
we have nine conditions now. If is in their purview, I would like to see them add a
condition for a dumpster, and also a condition that no more than 6 cars are kept outside.
Mr. Waller?
John Waller: On the six cars, that is in front. Usually with a garage, they certainly like to
park cars in the back. Is there a preference on how many cars they can put in the rear?
Barry Knight: Ms. Prochilo?
Karen Prochilo: We do need to accommodate for employee parking.
=
John Waller: This is just for repair or waiting to repair them and they store them and put
them in the back.
Karen Prochilo: There really isn't any paved area in the rear. It is a grassed in area. So
we weren't anticipating having anyone having parking in the rear, only the designated
parking.
Shepelle Watkins-White: That is correct. That is a grassy area.
Barry Knight: Mr. Henley?
Al Henley: I would like to address one of the comments from the speakers earlier. I lived
across the street, and they mentioned one of the concerns of four-wheelers that were
utilizing the field around the property across the street. If I remember correctly, that is
agricultural field, and more than likely it is grandchildren may be utilizing it, and that is
one of the rights of the property owner. They can four-wheeler it. So that mayor may
not be permitted. I'm sure if they are trespassing, the owners will take that into
consideration.
Barry Knight: Are there any other ~uestions? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: You mentioned a dumpster. I'm looking to see what they are going to
do with their industrial waste. How are they going to dispose of their industrial waste to
comply with OSHA. Does the City have provisions to check these uses regular for
Item #14 & 15
Gerald Freeman
Page 7
disposal waste? I don't know. I think most car dealers and most car repair places have to
have something like that.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree, I can answer that for you. Down at the Back Bay Auto
Repair, and also at the brand new Pleasant Ridge Auto Parts, they are going to have
recycling for motor oil and antifreeze. So, they will have to, of course, have to dispose of
it properly, but they will accept it for them.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay.
Shepelle W atkins-White: There is one other thing, and we do have a condition that limits
no storage of tires and those sorts of things.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: Could we add a condition that it is administratively reviewed after one
year to make sure that there are no parties and other activities that would bother the
neighbors?
Barry Knight: It is certainly would be in within the purview of the Commission.
=
Dorothy Wood: If I could make amotion?
Barry Knight: Sure.
Dorothy Wood: I would like to make a motion to add three conditions. The first one
would be the dumpster, and it would be emptied regularly. Number two would be only
six vehicles on the outside; and, number three, an administrative review after one year.
With that, I would like to make a motion for approval.
Barry Knight: We have a motion on the floor. Do we have a second?
AI Henley: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Mr. AI Henley seconds it. Is there any more discussion? There is a
motion to approve items 14 and 15, Gerald Freeman, with twelve conditions as stated.
First one was made by Dot Wood and second by Al Henley. I'll call for the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Vistacor Partners, L.L.C. - Change of Zoning District Classification,
Northeast intersection of Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road (DISTRICT 7 -
PRINCESS ANNE)
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2006
. Background:
Application of Vistacor Partners, L.L.C. for a Chanae of Zonina District
Classification from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional B-2
Community Business District on property located at the northeast intersection of
Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road (GPINs 1485909486; 1485901501;
1485807898; part of 1485910167;part of 1485910006; 1484999748;
1484091664; 1484092567). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to consolidate six parcels, and portions of two others,
and to rezone the combined 57 acres to B-2 Business. The purpose of the
rezoning is to develop a retail and office center designed to contain an
environment where people can come together to work, eat, and shop. The
proposed development contains approximately 40,000 square feet of office and
482,000 square feet of retail and restaurant uses. There are also two outparcels
of approximately 1 acre each.
The conceptual site layout shows a plaza area at the southwestern corner of the
site, with a large water feature at the Princess Anne Road and Dam Neck Road
intersection. The plaza has retail on both sides and the retail on one side
includes second floor offices. The plaza is enhanced with special paving
treatments, a fountain, flags, lighting, and street 'furniture' to create a "Main
Street" atmosphere.
Connected to the plaza area are "streets" of shops, which face intemal1y to the
site, creating a sense of enclosure. Further discussion regarding the details of
the plan is provided in the attached staff report.
Consistent with the design guidance provided by the Comprehensive Plan, the
site plan depicts open space and landscaped areas. These landscaped areas
include wide landscaped berms parallel to Princess Anne and Dam Neck Roads,
creating aesthetically pleasing views from those roadways while also screening
any service areas of buildings. A wide landscaped buffer and a lake separate the
Vistacor Partners, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 2
project from the adjoining residential neighborhood. The proffered plan also
depicts landscape areas in the parking lot, a large stormwater lake, and a water
feature that acts as a focal point for the project. This feature, located at the
corner of the site adjacent to the intersection of Princess Anne and Dam Neck
Roads, provides a pond with a fountain that serves as part of the anchoring
element at the western end of the "Main Street" plaza. The plaza itself is
designed such that it can serve as a public gathering place.
The architecture proposed for the buildings within the project is also consistent
with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, using a combination of
contemporary retail styling with Colonial-style architectural detailing, including
cornices, pediments, columns, and dentil elements. A variety of quality materials
are used, as well as a variety of colors, on both the front and the rear of the
buildings that parallel Princess Anne and Dam Neck Roads. Since this site is
located at the northem end of the Princess Anne Corridor, the architectural
design and styling is appropriate. The more contemporary elements of the design
are compatible to the modem and, in some respects, "high-tech" styling of the
Sentara offices, LifeNet, and the Higher Education Center. However, the design
also integrates the Colonial elements and materials found at the southern end of
the Princess Anne Corridor within the Municipal Center.
In sum, the proposal meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan's guidance for
this site, addresses the traffic-related issues generated by the development (as
described in the Traffic section of the attached staff report), and provides land
uses compatible with the AICUZ and the area of APZ 2 located at the northern
portion of the site. It is, therefore, Staff's recommendation that this request be
approved as proffered.
There was opposition to the request.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant proposes to consolidate agriculturally-zoned
properties and rezone the combined properties to B-2
Business. The purpose of the rezoning is to develop a retail and office center designed to contain an
environment where people can come together to work, eat, and shop. The proposed development
contains approximately 40,000 square feet of office and 482,000 square feet of retail I restaurant area
and two outparcels of approximately 1 acre each.
The conceptual site layout shows a plaza area at the southwestern corner of the site, with a large water
feature at the Princess Anne Road and Dam Neck Road intersection. The plaza has retail on both sides
and the retail on one side includes second floor offices. The plaza is enhanced with special paving
treatments, a fountain, flags, lighting, and street 'furniture' to create a "Main Street" atmosphere.

"<<> "
Connected to the plaza area are "streets" of shops, which face internally to the site, creating a sense of
enclosure. The site design is not similar to typical 'big box' retail centers, where a large retail center
(150,000 square foot or larger typically) anchors the site and is fronted by a 'sea of parking' that runs
between it and the street or outparcels located on the street. Instead of such a scenario, the applicant's
site design places parking areas between two shopping promenades - one being the specialty shops and
retail spaces running outward from the large retail space in the center of the site, and the second being a
similar row of specialty shops and retail spaces running parallel to Princess Anne Road and Dam Neck
Road. Additionally, the parking areas between the two promenades are not as deep as those typically
seen in retail centers, particularly those anchored by 'big boxes.' Finally, pedestrian pathways cross the
parking areas at strategic points, further reducing any 'sea of parking' affect that could exist. The resulting
affect of all of these factors is one of enclosure and connection.
The proffered plan also includes wide landscaped berms parallel to Princess Anne and Dam Neck Roads,
creating aesthetically pleasing views from those roadways while also screening any service areas of
buildings. A wide landscaped buffer and a lake separate the project from the adjoining residential
neighborhood.
Exterior building finishes use a variety of brick, stone, and Exterior Insulating Finish System (EIFS) in
selected groupings of color palettes. Changes in the building facades to create the visual interest
necessary in a development of this size. The buildings are designed in a mixture of contemporary retail
commercial style with neo-classical and colonial detailing.

The developers provided a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) at the request of Public Works / Traffic Engineering.
Staff reviewed and commented on the initial TIS. Based on the comments, a revised TIS dated May 19, 2006
was submitted. The Department of Public Works / Engineering and Public Works / Traffic Engineering worked
with the developer during the production of the TIS to develop preliminary roadway improvements plans that
are feasible and will be compatible with the upcoming roadway improvements project for Princess Anne Road.
The conclusions and recommendations of the TIS generally are acceptable, and any outstanding issues will be
addressed at detailed site plan review through the Development Services Center, should this application be
approved by the City Council. At that time, adjustments to the plan may be necessary to satisfy staff
requirements.
WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is a 20-inch City water main fronting a portion of the site
in Princess Anne Road. There is a 12-inch and a 16-inch City water main in Dam Neck Road fronting the site.
There are 8-inch water lines in Allaben Drive, Nettle street and in a portion of Winterberry Lane.
SEWER: This site is not within an existing pump station service area. The applicant will be required to provide
pump station analysis for a potential receiving pump station to ensure future flows can be accommodated.
There are 8-inch City gravity sanitary sewer lines in Allaben Drive, Nettle Street, a portion of Winterberry Lane
and in Dam Neck Road.
POLICE:
A photometric plan must be submitted for review during site plan submission to the Development Services
Center.
FIRE: The proposal will be reviewed in detail during site plan review.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers, which are listed below.
Comprehensive Plan:
This parcel is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as being within the Princess Anne Corridor, and is
identified as Sub-Area 1. Recommended land use for Sub-Area 1 consists of "non-residential uses
including retail, service, office, educational and institutional," (Pg 12 Princess Anne Corridor Study). Residential
use is neither appropriate nor recommended for this site due to its location within the 70 to 75 dB Ldn
AICUZ, at the end of Accident Potential Zone II, and along the flight path between NAS Ocean a and
NALF Fentress.
Evaluation:
The proposal, as proffered, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for Sub-Area
1 in regard to both site and building design. The guidance provided in the Plan suggests that a plan
proposed for this site should incorporate as a significant part of the development a "main street" of
specialty shops with wide, attractively landscaped sidewalks or clusters of "pedestrian scale" commercial
retail shops, services, and effectively landscaped parking areas. The Plan also suggests that the "main
streef' affect should provide the major focus of the development, rather than the typical single, large
commercial structure served by a large and relatively unbroken parking lot flanked by auto dependent,
single use outparcels.
The applicant's site design consists of a principal "Main Street" plaza, flanked by specialty shops. The
plaza (street) is enhanced with special paving treatments, lighting, and street 'furniture' (benches, trash
receptacles, flags, etc.). The theme developed at the plaza (street) is then carried throughout the
remainder of the development, primarily through the pedestrian pathways that split the parking areas and
link the principal plaza with the four other shopping 'streets,' two of which are on the Dam Neck Road side
of the site and the other two of which are on the Princess Anne Road side. The retail spaces along these

':,',_. ">"
promenades continue the theme developed at the principal 'Main Street' plaza through the use of similar
building materials and design details and wide sidewalks with similar landscaping, lighting, and street
furniture. The affect will be similar to that achieved at other quality retail centers in the city, such as Hilltop
and Red Mill Commons.
Also consistent with the design guidance provided by the Comprehensive Plan is the inclusion in the site
design of significant open space and landscaped areas. The proffered plan depicts wide landscaped
buffers, landscape areas in the parking lot, a large stormwater lake, and a water feature that acts as a
focal point for the project. This feature, located at the corner of the site adjacent to the intersection of
Princess Anne and Dam Neck Roads, provides a pond with a fountain that serves as part of the
anchoring element at the western end of the "Main Street" plaza. The plaza itself is designed such that it
can serve as a public gathering place.
Finally, the architecture proposed for the buildings within the project is a combination of contemporary
retail styling with Colonial-style architectural detailing, including cornices, pediments, columns, and dentil
-elements. A variety of quality materials are used, as well as a variety of colors, on both the front and the
rear of the buildings that parallel Princess Anne and Dam Neck Roads. Since this site is located at the
northern end of the Princess Anne Corridor, the architectural design and styling is appropriate. The more
contemporary elements are compatible to the modern and, in some respects, "high-tech" styling of the
Sentara offices, LifeNet, and the Higher Education Center. However, the design also integrates the
Colonial elements and materials found at the southern end of the Corridor within the Municipal Center.
In sum, the proposal meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan's guidance for this site, addresses the
traffic-related issues generated by the development (as described in the Traffic section of this report), and
provides land uses compatible with the AICUZ and APZ 2. It is, therefore, Staff's recommendation that
this request be approved as proffered.

Dear Ms. Prochillo:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Conditional

property in Accident potential Zone Two. The Navy's Air
Installations Compatible Use Zone Program considers this retail
development comPatible with airfield operations.
If you have any questions, contact my Community planning
. Liaison Officer, Mr. Ray Firenze. at (757) 433-3158.
Sincerely,
n, R~. Navy

Joseph Strange: The next item is item 5, Vistacor Partners, L.L.c. Application of
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c. for a Change of Zoning District Classification from AG-1 &
AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional B-2 Community Business District on property
located at the northeast intersection of Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road, District
7, Princess Anne, with 21 proffers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Nutter?
=
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much. It is a pleasure being here. For the record, my name
is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney, representing the applicant Vistacor. As you know, you
have been briefed on this application on more than one occasion, including this morning
by your staff. There are a couple of things that I would like to point out to you on this
application that Mr. Scott elaborated on great length this morning, but I would like to
touch on it some more. First, is that this property is currently zoned Agricultural. The
point of this story is that if there is anything certain about it is that the current zoning of
this property is really out of keeping with what is currently in this area. I would suggest
to you that rezoning this property from Agricultural is now in order. As Mr. Scott
pointed out to you, we have had the expansion of ODD. We've had the expansion of
TCC. We've had the City's Higher Education Center built there. We've had a major
facility built by Sentara directly across the intersection, which is under construction, and
which will employ over 4,000 people. This property is segregated from other properties,
surrounded by residential, office, City uses, and so forth. I would suggest to you an
inappropriate site for agricultural zoning in its current context. The second thing that I
would like to point out to you about this application is that we take for granted, and I did
myself until last night, and that is that one piece of property. It is not. This application
represents three years of work to assemble eight parcels and a large number of property
owners. Mr. Scott pointed out to you earlier this morning that there have been prior
applications for this property, and in fact, he is partially correct. There have been prior
applications for portion of this property. There has never been an instance where this
property has been accumulated in one piece. That is very significant. One of the very
things your Comprehensive Plan calls for at this site is to try to accumulate these
properties so they can be developed in a beautiful fashion and not a haphazard fashion. It
is also significant, because if they were developed individually, you would have any
number of access points by-right allowed on both Princess Anne and Dam Neck Road.
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c.
Page 2
This application has attempted to deal with those. So, beyond all the beauty of the
application, all the issues you are going to hear about today, I just didn't want you to
forget those two points. The zoning of this property is really appropriate today. The
assemblage of this property is in itself a significant event that we should take full
advantage of through this application, and finally, on to the developer. This developer,
Vistacor, actually is a combination of partners. Many of them are Virginia Beach, but the
major developer in this is Goodman & Company. Goodman & Company is new to
Virginia Beach. They are based in West Palm Beach, Florida. They have a stellar
reputation. They have over 20 million square feet of retail properties currently owned by
them today. Their owners are some of the original founders of the ICSE Program, and the
closest project they have to this in Virginia, is a project they built called Jefferson
Common Shopping Center, in the City of Newport News, which has been well received.
I am going to pass out a letter from the City of Newport News - if I could, Mr. Livas, I
will start with you and pass it around -- highlighting the quality and how well it has been
received. It's a strong tax based incentive for the city, and most importantly, how
Goodman & Company delivered on every single promise that they made to the city. I
think it is important to know whom you are dealing with. Thank you. Those are some of
the things that I would like to comment on at the beginning. Let me tell you some of the
cooperation we've had on this application, because I'm afraid that the opposition is really
opposition, in my opinion, for all the worst reasons rather than all the right reasons. I
= think it is important that you look at whom we have worked with. First, it is the U.S.
Navy. As Mr. Scott pointed out to you, one of the incidents or one ofthe events affecting
this property, and not just this property, but the property across the street, with the JLUS
Study, and in large measure, as you know the Comprehensive Plan of this property, and
other properties throughout the entire city, along with the entire zoning ordinance of this
city had to be modified to affect the changes resulting from that JLUS Study, and in part
by the BRAC group. I'll be happy to tell you that the U.S. Navy has looked at a full set of
plans that were shown. They are in full support, as much as the Navy can be in support.
By that, I mean they have indicated in writing that is fully compatible with the guidelines,
and they have no objection to it whatsoever. That, for a major piece of property in the
Interfacility zone is no small matter, as well, and for those who are interested in
maintaining a good strong relationship with the U.S. Navy. Finally, we have worked in
close cooperation with the adjacent neighborhood. This case is an accumulation of
neighborhoods, the Landstown Civic Association. It is a number of neighborhoods. Over
952 homes in those residential areas. We have worked with them for over six months. I
am happy to say that their president, Nick Siewers, is here, and he is going to speak to
you shortly. Several of his residents are here with him as well. They are in full support
of this application. In addition to that, and perhaps and no disrespect to the Navy or the
civic league, we have worked in close cooperation with Mr. Scott, even to the point of
being vilified for having done so. But I would tell you that in this process, we have
worked very closely with Bob to make sure that the Comprehensive Plan guidelines were
met. I can guarantee you that this would not be on your agenda if those guidelines were
not met. He would have recommended that. We wouldn't have put it on. We wouldn't
be here if that were the case. There may be disagreement, and I respect the fact that there
=
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.e.
Page 3
could be a disagreement of anything. Lord knows that is what lawyers do. However,
sooner or later somebody has to make a decision, and that is why the Planning
Department is there, to guide us. They are the authors of the Comprehensive Plan, not
myself. They are the interpreters of the Comprehensive Plan, not myself. We all vote on
that, and I recognize that. I'm asking you to confirm the conformance with that plan by
your vote today. So, I also want to thank him, because we've had a number of changes as
a result of this application based on Bob's input, based on the input from the Navy, and
based on the input from the residents. What you see is not a plan that we have proposed -
-take it or leave it. What you see is a plan that has been an accumulation of the Navy, the
neighbors, and the City's own departments. We have met with the major players in the
corridor including Sentara, ODU, and TCe. All of them have said they like this
application. They are happy to see it go forward, and they were anxious to make sure that
we got approved. Having said all those things, with the big picture, I want to turn now to
the application itself, if I could, and point out the factors and try to address some of the
questions you raised in your session this morning. As you know, this is a fully proffered
application. All of the things that we have shown you and that you have in the books
there before you are fully proffered, laid out for you in elaborate detail. So there will be
no change in those unless we have to come back to you all. Let me tell you some of the
highlights of this application that are completely unique to a commercial development of
this nature in Virginia Beach. Bob asked us to make sure that several things occurred.
First, he said, I want a dynamic feature here at this intersection. It is a major intersection
as he indicated, eight lanes and six lanes. I want a dynamic water feature. I want it open.
I want it inviting. I want it lifestyle. I want to visibly see through this site. I want to be
able to have something exciting and destination-oriented at this location. He pointed out
to us that cars going by this site go to the amphitheatre. They go to the Sportsplex site.
They will be going to Sentara's site. They will be going to points further west, and of
course, not to mention the fact they would be going to the entire Municipal Center right
down the road. So, it has to be a dynamic entranceway. The second thing that Bob asked
us to do was to consider putting the buildings up against the right-of-way. I know, Mr.
Waller, that this is an issue with you. I respect your opinion very much, as you know.
One of the features, quite frankly is to comply with the Comprehensive Plan so you do
not have a sea of parking down here. By the way, it is also very expensive to do, because
now instead of one side of a building to dress up, you've got four sides of the building
you have to dress up. It is four times as expensive to address that kind of use, as it is
another type of use. By the way, the buildings are here. I'll address this in just a second
for you. The same is true along here. The other things that staff is pointing out is that it
also results in having much smaller, again, more community oriented, more pedestrian-
oriented parking fields. You don't have the long parking field like you do in many retail
centers. In addition to the shorter field, we have four separate pedestrian walkways here,
here, here, and here. These are all elevated. They are pavers. They are landscaped. Very
inviting so that the public can easily walk.
Ed Weeden: RJ., you have about 45 seconds left.

RJ. Nutter: You might have to give us a little discretion today. Mr. Weeden, I
appreciate that, and I know you follow that more than anybody in the whole City. But
having said that, we provided all those features for you. Finally, Mr. Scott asked us, and
asked us 75 percent of the time on this item, about the design and architecture of this
structure. We have designed them, and staff has helped us. We thumbed through five
different designers for this. What I found, and Mr. Henley, I have a hard appreciation for
heavy colonial architecture, and we're not going to find anything like this. We went
through five different designs, and I will tell you that there wasn't a person in the ring
who could gear up in any situation. What we did find was this -- this was a transitional
site that had colonial features to the south of us and more contemporary features to the
north of us.
Barry Knight: Mr. Nutter?
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir.
Barry Knight: You are out of time, but Ms. Katsias said she would sponsor you for
another couple of minutes.
RJ. Nutter: Thank you. I will just try to address as much as I can in a short period of
= time if I could. But I would note the architecture is fully pointed out in your books. A
couple of things to point out, because I know Mr. Waller, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Henley
you all asked this question. If you're going to put the buildings up against the back we
have to make sure they look really good. Unfortunately, we only have one of the
elevations on the Powerpoint. This is the back of one of the buildings. There is another
elevation in your booklet. It is on Page 4 if you have your booklet that depicts the backs
ofthese buildings along these roadways and with long berming structures. Now, I want
to point out to you that we have the full three-dimensional route structures, varying height
designs, full detail, which is very expensive to do. We've also added brick and stone
features across the back of those features as well, even though in a large measure, they
won't be visible. Mr. Knight, you asked about the berm system along Princess Anne
Road. I will just tell you that we have designed this so that you won't be able to see
anything but the tops of those buildings. Right now, the design is about 6 to 7 feet of
height of those berm and that is not including the landscaping that goes on top 0 fit. I
believe you have the exhibits, Stephen, that shows the berming, if I could. Thank you.
They are designed, and we are proffered to do it by the way, so that the visibility of the
person in the car is 3Yz feet. That is where the visibility line is, and most cars are about
4Yz feet tall. That doesn't include Mr. Knight's truck, but I point out to him that doesn't
include his helicopter either, so he is going to see it.one way or the other. But it does
include a majority of vehicles driving down here, so this is going to be 6 or 7 feet, but you
are only going to see the tops of these buildings and not the bottoms. Nonetheless, we are
still adding the details across the top and the landscaping. So, again it is designed to hide
the parking, make it internally oriented. That is expensive, especially to do these
treatments of the buildings like that. You can see there is one row of parking for
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c.
Page 5
employees along the back. Those will be completely hidden by the berrning system. So
as you are driving down Princess Anne Road, that is what you will see and not the
buildings, which puts all the parking on the inside, and that is what we intended to do Mr.
Waller. I'm just trying to address your concern. We have a lot of things in here. We
haven't even touched upon traffic. But I did want to tell you that our signage is laid out
in the process as well. One thing about the office? We have, and Mr. Scott has
specifically addressed this question. I'm trying not to talk to fast but I'm trying to get it
all in.
Ed Weeden: RJ., You are out oftime.
RJ. Nutter: I know.
Barry Knight: Mr. Nutter? I will ask you about the offices.
RJ. Nutter: Would you mind? Thank you Mr. Knight. It is a question that Mr. Scott
raised. The office, as you know, first, the Comprehensive Plan does not require this being
a mixed used development at all. This could be all retail. It could be all office. It could
be all industrial in some degree. But, what I'm pointing out to you is that what we've
done is that we've proffered 40,000 square feet of office. We have proffered the location
= of about 20,000 to 25,000 square of that office right here. We show the depictions of
how that will be placed. This south parcel, right now, is that we were able to zone by a
separate owner. We do not have full control of this parcel. Weare swapping land with
this individual. He retains ownership, so I don't have the ability to tell you what is going
to be on that piece. It is going to be zoned commercial. I can tell you that he agreed to
comply by the architectural features and the landscape features across the front because
we have to give additional land back to make sure that could be done. This parcel is
APZ-2Iand. This line runs along here. We've agreed with the Navy that we would
comply with the APZ-2 guidelines and the table of compatible uses in 1804 of the Zoning
Ordinance. So as a result of that, office in this was a difficult siting. Some types of
offices are allowed and other types of office are not under Navy regulations, which make
marketing and finance of this site a little bit more difficult. With the other area that we
were looking at the office for, in fact, we promised the City and the neighborhood we
would do this right in this area right here. This is a portion of the property that we are
acquiring. This parcel right now is owned by the City of Virginia Beach. The City has
asked us to take a look at a road from Winterberry, which is the entrance way into the
neighborhood, run it in to the center so that it would be accessed out to this light for
residents to that neighborhood. We have discussed that with the residents of that
neighborhood. They understand that. They are in support of that idea. In the process of
that, we told them that we would rather then use this for road that we would convert in
these, in this area to office uses. So this will be the secondary office location in the event
that we don't or that does not happen for whatever reason, the City decides that it doesn't
want to do that, then we are committed to add another 15,000 square foot of office, in
which case it would probably be in line office space. Now, I would tell you that this is
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.C.
Page 6
their preference. This is what the neighborhood wants. We know that the City wants
this. The City acquired this property only recently. So, when it did so it was to prevent a
commercial use of the property to a 7 -Eleven type of operation. So they don't want that
type of use there. We don't want that type of use there. We can put an office use right
here. It might even be a little bit larger than 15,000 square feet. But I would tell you that
the Comprehensive Plan does not require a mixed use at this location. This site is
uniquely suited for that, and the other important part of this is the availability of other
office space in and around this area, which Mr. Scott touched upon today. The City has
across the street, and it is wise to recognize that those uses across the street are currently
in use for existing city services. However, I would submit to you that even though the
ULI Studies are completed and approved by the City just recently, I should say recently
paid for the by the City, that just a few weeks ago recommended the relation of this very
facility out to points further west of the intersection. So the history of the Farmers
Market is always going to be an issue. But I will tell you that there is available land for
additional office expansion. In addition to that, the City's Public Utilities facility is there
on almost 25 acres, representing additional office expansion there. Finally, I will tell you
that Sentara has over 15 acres that have not been fully planned as part of its first phase.
There are 15 acres there. Finally, I point out to you that across the street, this is also in
the Interfacility zone, where residential has been largely limited. Thus, there also is an
enormous amount of land available for office use. Why is that important? Because quite
= frankly this use can help generate and spur additional office development in this area, and
this is a use that is missing in the corridor, and it is the only major use for business in the
corridor. I will give you a good example of that. Lynnhaven Parkway. When the City
developed Lynnhaven Parkway for the Development Authority, do you know the first
anchor used? Lynnhaven Mall. It is a great success story for the city. It is a great use. It
is a great generator of jobs. This will be the same, but I don't want to mislead you that
retail and nice retail like this plays a big factor in helping generate these very jobs and
uses.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Nutter. Are there any other questions for Mr. Nutter? Mr.
Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: I got just one thing that I want to get in for the record. You and I have
already discussed.
R.J. Nutter: Oh, yes sir. Please.
Eugene Crabtree: That is you and the developer, I believe are in accordance to building
bicycle lockers in this area that are nice and suitable to encourage more pedestrian andtbicycle friendly use. Am I correct?
R.J. Nutter: We are looking at this. Yes sir. We have no problem with that at all. As a
matter of fact, you gave us a website to try and find one.

Eugene Crabtree: I just wanted to get it into the record.
RJ. Nutter: I understand that. I would also point out to you that the sidewalks that we are
putting along are eight feet wide at the perimeter. The interior sidewalks, by the way, for
bike purposes, are 12 feet wide. So, these are not narrow areas left alone.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Nutter at this time? Thank you sir.
RJ. Nutter: Yes sir. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support we have Nick Siewers.
Nick Siewers: Good afternoon. I'm Nick Siewers. I'm the new president of the civic
league. And what I wanted to say was just a couple of things, which I promise not to go
over the time. Anyway, basically I got involved back in February both on the support and
the opposing side. Both sides. The opposition said what their concerns were. John and
RJ., they chose what they showed you. There have been a few changes. It looked very
good. The opposing side sounded like a little bit of competition, which had to do with
Red Mill. But in April, which is when we had our fIrst general meeting, and after we met
with both sides, and we put out our newsletter on what was exactly going on here. This is
= your chance to speak up. Come on out. Well, some folks showed, and RJ. Nutter, John
Dow, and John Richardson were there. They both spoke from both sides. There were a
few concerns that came up after that, and shortly after that, I met with RJ. Nutter and
John Dow just to get a little bit more background information, and to talk to them about
our concerns. Some of the concerns were the lighting and where it was going and even
the traffic. Those were some of the big concerns. How we would be affected. What
would our neighborhood look like afterwards? So anyway, that was in April. In June,
which we are right in the middle of our next membership drive, and I am now officially
the president. But anyway, I received an emai1 from a public relations fIrm trying to stir
things up, which I was just lucky to get that email. I made a couple of calls. I met with
John Dow, as well as with the public relations firm, and kind of got a little bit more
insight of what was going on, what their real concerns were, and again it looks like a
competition issue. So, we had our meeting. And just Monday of this week, we had our
last general meeting again, they were represented, and that would be John Dow and RJ.,
just to make sure that the neighborhood knew what was going on. They answered their
questions, and the bottom line is that the community is looking very fully into this. There
might be a handful that are opposed, but overall, I haven't received a flood of emails
saying, "Hey, we need to shut this thing down", if we can. But anyway, it looks like
something that is going to be very welcoming, and not just for the community, but really
the city. It is a beautiful development. I'm looking forward to it.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Siewers. Are there any questions? Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have John Richardson.

John Richardson: Thank you Mr. Strange.
Barry Knight: Welcome John.
John Richardson: My name is John Richardson, for the record. I'm a local attorney, and
I represent Armada Hoffler Developer. I represent Commercial Real Estate Services,
Ellis Gibson Development, Lakeside Construction Company, David Kellam, who
believed this property probably should be rezoned to commercial. It is zoned Agriculture,
and of course, this Board and Council, there is no duty upon you to recommend it be
rezoned. We believe that this property is zoned Agricultural, and people can do what
they did with it for the past many years. Is that a purview at this point? Probably not.
That is not what the Comprehensive Plan envisioned. The competition issue which was
raised by Nick Siewers has been raised with us a number of times as we have looked at
this application as it has progressed. It is not a matter of competition. It is a a matter of
people to play by the same rules we had to play by when we developed Red Mill and we
developed the Harris Teeter Shopping Center not too far from here. That Harris Teeter
store is the most expensive store in the chain, because we have to follow the City's rules
and regulations. We do not believe this development does that, and therefore, at the end
of this presentation, we ask that the matter be deferred with the applicant's consent to go
back to the drawing board and try to bring this application to where it should be in
= accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, or that you deny it. If I may, I would like to
pass out a copy of the Comprehensive Plan, which you may have in your package, but I'm
going to quote you a couple of lines. Mr. Livas. There is also a letter from the
Comprehensive Planning staff of March 7th of this year concerning this plan. The change
you see before you was an extraordinary effort on behalf of Mr. Scott and his staff. When
BRAC came along the City scrambled to comply with the BRAC order. The city did so,
and as I say, I think Mr. Scott and his staff moved mountains to try to achieve that; so, the
City modified the Comprehensive Plan. On December 20 of last year, the City Council
adopted the modifications. If I could direct your attention to Page 20, this is Sub-Area 1.
The requirements are this. Significant, well programmed, and landscaped open space. If
you look there, you will see a BMP, a mandatory pond. They are required for stormwater
purposes, a fountain, and another small pond to the left. I will take issue of this not being
received. Maybe it is a great lake for parking, but it is a parking lot surrounding a big box
shopping center in the right hand corner of this almost 20,000 square foot shopping
center. The next item calls for reverse frontage. On Page 20, reverse frontage means that
you have the storefront facing the street. You have an attractive presentation to the
Streetscape, and you have an interior communication for shoppers and parking, so it is all
hidden. It is the way Shore Pond was done in Richmond. It is very attractive. It goes on
to say that a significant specialty shops so forth and so on rather than the typical single
large commercial structures served by a large and relative unbroken parking lot framed
auto dependent single use out parcels. If you take out that small plaza in the front left
corner, which is about 3 or 4 acres of the project, what you have is a typical big box
shopping center left, and that is what we think is not appropriate for this development. If
you take that front left corner and multiply that about 5 times, you have a very, very
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.C.
Page 9
attractive, very commercial development that would meet the city's Comprehensive Plan,
and that is all that we ask. If you note on Page 21, Item 3B, you will see that the interior
streets and other areas should have chambered parking. Chamber parking means you
have divided parking with curbs being between so you can't take a car and drive through
one of the parking areas like you can do at Lynnhaven Mall. I believe that is what you
can do here. There is no chambered parking. Twenty percent of the Sub-Area B
attractively landscaped open space. That will be about eleven acres. The only open space
is the pond, so if you get a latte Starbucks, I don't know what you will be able to use that
pond to sit and drink your latte, which would be with your back facing units, the garbage
dumpsters, and then the liquor areas in the back. It is not going to be attractive open
space area. This is not the open area that they want you to accept. When the plan was
reviewed in March of this year, the staff already submitted that the proposed development
has not been designed in accordance with the land use policies outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan. It is recommended that large commercial structures and expansion
of parking be redesigned to incorporate all pedestrian scale development, which we are
asking you to consider today. And again, we need to send them back to the drawing
board, or deny this application. Bill Cashman is here. He was with Langley McDonald
many years ago when Dam Neck Road was designed. He is now with URS Corporation,
which is a 29,000 employee international company. He is the manager of a branch in
Richmond. He has looked at the V AB Study of the applicant, and I ask that he comment
= on the traffic issues, which we think are very, very critical to this application. Mr.
Cashman ?
Barry Knight: We1come sir.
Bill Cashman: Good afternoon. Bill Cashman with URS, 5540 Fountain Street in
Richmond, Virginia. I would like to talk about the impact of the proposed development
on the flow of traffic on Dam Neck Road. This is sort of a brainy exhibit, but it is a
blow-up of the Master Transportation Plan, and in red, I show Dam Neck Road going
from General Booth, and it actually goes farther all the way over to Indian River.
Essentially by plan, Dam Neck is the arterial going east/west across this part of the city.
The City is expanding that. It is one of their projects to add the extension of Dam Neck
Road beyond the amphitheater over to Indian River Road to complete it. So the City is
putting money into this roadway. In addition, and you mentioned my time with Langley
McDonald, we were involved in the design of Dam Neck Road as a City project, City
funds from Holland over just close to General Booth. That road was designed so that it
would operate efficiently as traffic and access came in. People drive along that road, and
they wonder why they see turn lanes here and there. In the design, we put the turn lanes
there so that when signals came in there would be adequate spacing so that traffic
progression could be maintained along in both directions during the peak periods. In other
words, it was designed to operate efficiently. We come now to the proposal that is befor.e
you. It includes a traffic signal at Landstown Court, which is only 850 apart from
Princess Anne Road, and generally to maintain progression and City traffic engineering
will tell you this, you want spacing of a signal to be about 1,200 feet. The 850 foot means
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.C.
Page 10
there is some exception to this, and we looked at the numbers. Traffic has told you that
they think they can maintain progression in there, and whether I agree with that or not,
we'll take that at their word. In their word they add though in the review letter in April,
they also state that they can maintain progression provided that South Rosemont remains
a three-way intersection, which means there will be no access coming from the south.
We look at the application. We say that we accept that analysis that you can make this
work with this being a three-way intersection. So, that creates a need. This rezoning
essentially creates a need for that to stay a three-way intersection. We do not see any
proffer that will ensure that will stay that way. And without something to insure that we
must assume that will become a four-way. When we analyze a four-way, the system
,crashes. This intersection does not work well and the queue of vehicles coming
westbound on Dam Neck backs up about 15 to 20 vehicles deep in the p.m. peak. So
what we suggest, and going back to staffs review letter, is that for this to achieve the
purpose that staff said, which is it can be maintained progression, but it must be a three-
way. We suggested that the proffer should consider including a no ingress/egress
easement along the south side of Rosemont Road on that approach to Dam Neck, and that
way, if we stay a three-way intersection and achieve the combination of purposes that
staff suggests in their review letter. Without that, as I said, there will be concerns with
the progression of traffic, and essentially to accommodate this then you must say that
there will be a cost to the public in terms of additional delay. Thank you.

Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Richardson? Mr. Richardson, you have a
few more seconds left.
John Richardson: No sir. Just as we've said, we don't think this application meets any of
the requirements in the Comprehensive Plan. We simply ask that the matter of the
application be denied or the applicant accepts a deferral and goes back to the drawing
board and make this a true "Main Street" type of shopping center that would be a very
attractive use here.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood.
Dorothy Wood: John, you mentioned that you represented Amada Hoffler. Mr. Dodd,
who was with Armada Hoffler, talked to me, I guess at a meeting, and he told me that as
long as it was high quality, he did not object to this.
John Richardson: He was the President of Armada Hoffler.

Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Waller?
John Waller: I got a concern. I've heard back and forth that this does comply with the
Comprehensive Plan, and the other says it doesn't. I know that the City Council has
given us a lot of flack because we haven't run along with the Comprehensive Plan. Does
this or does it not comply?
John Richardson: Mr. Waller. I am going to take a leap into Mr. Scott's book, and he
said it's kind of like the Supreme Court, that you can interpret it, and quoting my "worthy
opponent", lawyers can argue about what time of day it is looking at the clock. But, I
think if you look at what I quoted from the Comprehensive Plan on pages 20 and 21,
there is not chambered parking. There is not 20 percent of pedestrian friendly open space
in this area. It is a pond, a walk in the pond. You got a big box, 500,000 square foot
shopping center, and not the "Main Street" style shopping center that the Comprehensive
Plan seemed to envision. Prior to BRAC, this was all residential. BRAC made that go
away. So, legitimately, it should be a commercial enterprise. But as it is couched now,
you simply have another big box store, a 500,000 square foot big box shopping center,
with a pretty front. Not the "Main Street" type of development that seemed to be
contemplated by the plan, as we read it.
= Barry Knight: Are there other questions of Mr. Richardson? Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: I got a question for Mr. Cashman.
Barry Knight: Mr. Cashman.
John Richardson: Bill.
Jay Bernas: Based on your analysis of the Traffic Impact Study, the only deficiency you
saw was a no egress/ingress for Rosemont to stay three-way. That was your only
conclusion based on the deficiency?
Bill Cashman: That was the principal conclusion. Yes.
Jay Bernas: But everything else you agree with?
Bill Cashman: Everything else looks like it was conducted in accordance with the
standard practice. I did not take issue with it. We have, I think, as Mr. Lowman and I
both had, some interpretive differences, but I think basically that is the main concern --
the progression of traffic on Dam Neck essentially comes to a screeching halt here if
Rosemont becomes a four-way intersection.
Jay Bernas: Thank you.

Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. AI Henley?
AI Henley: Not a question. Just a comment, and Twill reiterate what my comments were
at the informal session, I just think to remember when in 1980, when Dam Neck Road
was built, and I was employed with the City of Virginia Beach at the time, and involved
in the ultimate construction for 38 years in the city. So, I'm real familiar with the moving
of traffic. And, I'm a stickler on traffic, and I think every application that comes up here,
I have a comment on traffic. Dam Neck Road is going to be relief roadway from east to
west and vice versa, and if we put these additional traffic control devices, stop lights at
this particular intersection, I believe it is going to hamper adequate movement of traffic in
years to come. Once in, it becomes difficult to remove. That is one thing that sits in my
crawl today. I really don't like it in this project, along with some of the other comments
that I made earlier. I think, overall, the zoning for this is great. The architecture, I can
live with, but that's minor compared to some of the, and I'm talking about, and we have
over 400,000 people in the City of Virginia Beach right now, and everyday you don't hear
any positive comments on traffic flow. Everything is gridlock, and I think this is another
gridlock. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions or comments? Thank you sir. Mr. Strange?
=
Joseph Strange: There are no other speakers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Nutter?
RJ. Nutter: I appreciate the opportunity. A couple of things that I would like to point out
to you about the presentation, and it probably boils down to the three points that he made,
and that I would like to address. First, that it doesn't comply with the Comprehensive
Plan. Well, I think your staff has already told that it does. That is the most important
thing that I can tell you about that. It is the best evidence that it does comply, and is
known very well to this Commission. If not, I will be happy to remind you. The
opposition to this case is solely competition. Please make no bones about that. If you
think this is about an admirable attempt to try to save the city from the Comprehensive
Plan amendment somewhere, we are all misleading ourselves. This is about competition,
pure and simple. The best evidence it does comply with the Comprehensive Plan is
because the opposition went through extraordinary historic measures to try and change
the Comprehensive Plan before we got here. So if there some concern that it doesn't
comply with the Comprehensive Plan, why would they go to Council? Why would they
come to Planning Commission? Why would they go to the City Manager and City
Attorney to try and get the Comprehensive Plan changed? The best evidence that it does
comply are their own actions. Notwithstanding that, you have a professional and
responsible Planning Director, and'he is well known not to just say what he wants to get
by here. Bob is well known for his well thought out views that he's looked at carefully.
So, first of all it does comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Second, they want to play by
the same rules. Well my concern for that is that we can look at Red Mill. Red Mill, and
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c.
Page 13
these are very nice. They operate well. They're doing well, and I invite them to compete
with us on that fair stage and not on a political stage. Red Mill was zoned, as you know,
over 30 years ago. It was supposed to be a racetrack. It is unconditional B-2. So, if you
want to play by the rules, come in and submit a conditional application for the rest of your
B-2. We'll play by the rules. They have an unconditional B-2, and they developed it by-
right. They never had to come to this Commission for approval. Second, is the Harris
Teeter Shopping Center. It is a great shopping center. My point to you there is that was
not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Your staff will tell you that. That was
not done that way either. It is a beautiful store. It is a beautiful location. But play by the
same rules we will. Most important is traffic. Let me tell you why, and I am a big fan of
Bill Cashman, but let me tell you why. With the premise to his concern is not applicable
in this case. Jan, I know you're a big proponent of looking at the details with traffic
issues. Let me tell you why I disagree with his assessment. I shouldn't say. Why the
concern he raises, in my opinion is purely hypothetical. It is likely to never occur.
Jay Bernas: I'll sponsor.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you. Let me tell you why. Right now, Rosemont Road, which is right
up here, is a three-way intersection. The reason it is three-way is that it was planned, as
you know, to be a full intersection. There are two reasons why this scenario Mr.
= Cashman raised cannot occur, and the first is, by the way, there is only one parcel left out
there for development. It's a small parcel. It is completely in the APZ-2 zone. It is
impacted by APZ-2 zone. It is also impacted by the 100-foot wide utility easement. The
development of that property is not going to generate a large amount of usage. So, what
they're talking about, the full intersection was intended to come down all the way down
here like it was meant to be. First of all, if anyone was to develop this one piece of
property, they would by the same ordinances, as we live by, have to control the traffic
generated by that development just like we did. So that can't happen for that reason. But
I will tell you the other reason it can't happen. Council voted, because this neighborhood
went in mass to Council, to oppose the extension of Rosemont Road. That has been
permanently cut off as a result of the hard work of the civic league behind us. In fact,
they want to make sure that we didn't even come close to their bike path, which now runs
up that area. So, Council has voted not to extend Rosemont Road, number one; number
two, if development does occur in there, they have to comply and meet the same criteria
that we would have to comply, which they are going to manage that issue. What Bill
didn't tell you is that we're putting in almost 4 million dollars in public road
improvements and dedications to make this work. This is not just us adding a light. So, I
will tell you the scenario that Mr. Cashman raised could not occur for the two reasons that
I've indicated to you. Other than that, that is their major concern. Your staff has told you
this is fully acceptable. They have no problem whether this could work. So, I'm trying to
get you to not go off on a cloud. Yes. Rosemont Road might be rebuilt if they tear out the
whole neighborhood. Y es. We might decide to cut off Princess Anne Road from the rest
of the courthouse. Not likely to occur. Possibilities nonetheless, but I think what we
brought to you is an application that addresses the realities, and I would represent it does

the same. So, as a result, we ask for your support in this application. Mr. Scott, I want to
thank you personally. You have been wonderful to deal with, and to our applicant who is
out of town who had to face opposition that we've never seen before. So, we appreciate it
and we would like your support. Thank you very much.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Nutter? Mr. Waller?
John Waller: On Dam Neck Road, where is your berm to hide the backside of the brown
building?
R.J. Nutter: It is along that landscaped area through there. We have the same type of
stuff that Dam Neck Road is going to be there.
John W aller: You have a lot of space there.
RJ. Nutter: Yes sir. We don't have as much there, but we can accomplish the same
purpose. I can tell you right now, that the staff will make us meet that criteria.
John Waller: Are you going to move the buildings in?
= RJ. Nutter: We'll have to size that berm and landscaping to shield the back ofthose
buildings.
John Waller: My other question is on the two buildings. Are they shops on the front and
the back or is there parking? Where is the berm that protects the back of that building or
do we have a berm or is that back of the building?
RJ. Nutter: This is the back of the building here. The berm runs along Princess Anne
Road here. So, this building, it actually is dressed up a little bit more than these guys, but
there is no berm.
John Waller: So the berm is not going to hide the back of the building?
R.J. Nutter: It shields a lot of it, but in this, you're going to want to see. Can I show the
back of the building? This is the back of the building. We show this to you to show you
that it shows several features. One, you don't see loading docks. These are all individual
single-access doors and they are for fire purposes. They are not loading doors. You have
brick along the base. We have stone columns. We have articulation along here. We
have cornice work across the top, and we have two different height elevations along the
full length.
John Waller: Where do you collect your trash from?
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c.
Page 15
RJ. Nutter: Trash is fully enclosed in cubicles, and most of them are in the inside of
many of these shops. Where we do have dumpsters, we have to fully enclose them on
three sides. It is a center for commercial. This is a commercial center. I don't want to
mislead you. But, by the same token, we are hiding more here than we have anywhere
else in the city.
John Waller: I'm not opposed to the shopping center. I'm just opposed to what you're to
going put there. Like everyone has said, that is going to be a main intersection --
probably one of the most used in the city. I just have a real problem looking at the back
of those buildings.
RJ. Nutter: These you won't see along here. These you will see a little bit. You will
have berm here as well. I drive down Interstate 264 all the time. You might remember
when we did the Carmax application. We came in with a six-foot high fence along the
interstate that hides the cars in the rear. We found out that if we made that fence and
lower it to four feet it, would block the height of the building, which was several hundred
feet the distance. They had a graphic just like we do to show that. I showed it you. It
looked surreal to me. I kind of held my breath to see what was going to happen when they
put in that four-foot high wall. And sure enough, if you drive there today, you will only
see the top of the Carmax building, even though that wall is four feet high from that right-
= of-way. I will tell you that a six foot berm structure has a much bigger effect on
properties behind it than you might think. That is the best evidence that I can give. I
know I held my breath for that application, to see what really was going to happen, but it
really came out okay. I think you are going to be very pleased with this. Newport News
wouldn't have written a letter. We told them what was going on.
John Waller: It is very similar to what they did. You got a lot of back doors.
RJ. Nutter: They didn't have the criteria that we did.. They have a traditional center with
more outparcels in the front. We didn't have that issue. We dealt with that issue. We
only have few outparcels that we've shown you. We put the parking internally. They
didn't have to do that. They did it more traditionally. They made the parking visible
from the right-of-ways. So frankly, we addressed these issues. That is the best answer
that I can give you. I can tell you this -- that there isn't a single center, including the two
that are concerned about this, that meet this criteria, even though they are very nice
centers, and they done their own way of architecture controls and landscape. Nothing to
be taken away from them, this is new. This is the fIrst that has been done.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree has a question for you. NO. Are there any other questions
for Mr. Nutter? Thank you sir.
RJ. Nutter: Yes sir Mr. Knight.
Barry Knight: We'll open it up for discussion. Mr. Crabtree?
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.c.
Page 16
Eugene Crabtree: What I wanted to say, and I think Mr. Scott said it this morning in our
brief, this center here as proposed is going to supply a great need to that corridor that is
already developing as a business and industrial part of our city. Education and medical,
we got it. It is a great thing, along with the neighborhood that is behind it. There are not
many houses out there. I think that is something that is needed. I think it is an appropriate
use of that, and since it is in the corridor that has some APZ, and some of the
ramifications that we've gone through with BRAC, and the Department of Defense
doesn't have any problem with this, it is a good use for this. When time comes, I would
like to make a motion that we approve the application as submitted.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree. We will accept your motion. Do we have a second?
Dorothy Wood: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has seconded the motion. We will open it back up for
discussion now. Mr. Waller?
=
John Waller: I feel that they need to go back to the drawing board and make that
shopping center an attractive center from the street. But, I just have a strong feeling that
the backside of the building, on a main thoroughfare, is just not going to fit. When the
wintertime comes and the leaves falloff the trees, they are going to see back doors,
loading trucks, trash dumpsters. It is just right for that other section. I'm opposed to it.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Waller. Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: I think that it is a nice application. It is very quality development. I
appreciate the fact that Mr. Cashman's only concern was the four-way intersection at
Rosemont Road. He is a very well respected traffic engineer, and I think that I feel very
satisfied with our City staff, and with Mr. Cashman, that was his only concern. So, I'm
satisfied with the recommendations of the traffic impact. So, hopefully that is not an
issue. My only real concern is that I would have liked to have seen, and I guess you call it
the Lifestyle Center, where you have the walking path and the fountain. That small little
area could have been a little bit bigger. I think that is a great feature. I think that is really
neat. Essentially, what you have behind it is really the big box. But, I don't think there is
anything like this in the city as far as development is concerned. It is very high quality. I
appreciate that all the public right-of-way infrastructure that they're putting in.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bernas. Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I just want to address what Mr. Richardson brought up with regard to
whether it does comply with the plan or doesn't. I think that everybody spoke to it. You
can have two different sides, and they will disagree looking at the same thing. But, I do
believe that all, and all the interpretation from the staff that it does comply with the plan
is position that I would take. I believe that our staff does a great job on every applicant
Item #5
Vistacor Partners, L.L.C.
Page 17
that comes in to make sure that they comply, and applicants work with them for long
periods of time to make sure that things are changed and that they comply with the plan.
So, I don't think one applicant is treated differently than the other. I think that staff does
a real good job of making sure that all applicants, when they put their approval on it, has
generally complied with the plan; so, that is my comment on that issue
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? There is a motion on the floor to approve
agenda item 5, Vistacor Partners. A motion was made by Gene Crabtree and seconded by
Dot Wood. I'll call for the question.

WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible
uses conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property
and at the same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses,
certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the

relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall

owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,
that said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
Page 2
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, it's successors, assigns, grantees, and other
successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from the
Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion of Quid pro QUO for

declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenant and agree that these proffers

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ventureast Two Corporation - Change of Zoning District Classification,
Cleveland Street at Newtown Road (DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE)
MEETING DATE: August 22,2006
. Background:
Application of Ventureast Two Corp., a Virginia Corporation for a Chanoe of
Zonino District Classification from 0-2 Office District to H-1 Hotel District on
property located on the south side of Cleveland Street, approximately 450 feet
east of Newtown Road (GPIN 1467260472 - existing; 1467261339 - after
subdivision). DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE
. Considerations:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning for this parcel from the existing 0-
2 Office District to Conditional H-I Hotel District. The purpose of the change of
zoning is to develop the site with a hotel.
The submitted preliminary site plan depicts a 122 room suite style hotel, 134
parking spaces, 6 handicap accessible parking spaces, a swimming pool, a
courtyard, and a putting green. The proposed building is situated 140 feet from
Cleveland Street, 65 feet from Interstate 264, 20 feet from the western property
line, and 50 feet from the eastern property line.
The submitted elevation drawing of the building depicts a six-story structure
constructed of brick veneer (first and second floors levels) and exterior insulation
finish system (EIFS). The proposed roofing material is shown as architectural
grade shingles. Cultured stone veneer, standing seam metal on roof details, and
canvas awnings above some of the windows provide architectural relief and
interest to the building.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within Strategic Growth
Area 3 - Newtown Area. The Comprehensive Plan recommends that
"development in this area should include a mix of mid to high-rise office buildings
as well as lower intensity light industrial and other non-residential uses," The
Plan suggests that uses scaled to support the local employment base are also
appropriate. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's guidance
for this area, particularly since the proposal provides lodging and related uses
that support the concentration of offices in the immediate area. The site design
and building design are of high quality and compatible to the surrounding area.
