committed for by Manager after Manager receives such Appropriations Deficiency Notice shall
not constitute a breach of or default by the City under this Agreement. Any failure by Manager
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not be a breach of or default under this
Agreement if such breach or default results from the City's failure to appropriate sufficient funds

in a local qualified public depository as the City shall direct pending the completion of such
event, with ticket sales revenues and similar event -related revenues attributable to Resident
Company events being deposited in the Resident Company Subaccount and all other ticket sales
revenues and similar event -related revenues being deposited to the Non -Resident Company
Subaccount. Such moneys will be held in trust for the protection of ticket purchasers, the City
and Manager, and to provide a source of funds for payments to performers and promoters and for
payment of expenses in connection with the presentation of such events. Following satisfactory

report within thirty (30) days. Interest earned on amounts deposited in the Event Operating
Account shall be considered Operating Revenues. Bank service charges, if any, on such account
shall be considered an Operating Expense. In the event that the Non -Resident Company
Subaccount does not contain sufficient funds to reimburse ticket purchasers for events (other
than Resident Company events) that are cancelled or otherwise not held or completed and for
which such ticket purchasers are entitled by law to a refund, Manager shall be responsible for
any such reimbursement to ticket purchasers who purchased tickets from Manager or New Era
Tickets, the entities authorized under this Agreement to handle such ticket sales, and the City

more fully provided in this Agreement and in the Operations Manual, separate bank accounts
shall be utilized for Operating Revenues and box office receipts. Payrolls shall be processed
through the Facility Operating Account, reconciled monthly and tested via internal control

shall be paid by the users of the Facility. Advance deposits covering rentals and estimated costs

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to grant a Franchise to Entertainment, Inc. for the use of
City property at the Oceanfront and 15th Street for the operation of the
Virginia Beach Fishing Pier
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background: By ordinance adopted on December 30, 1949, as amended on
February 14, 1950, the Town of Virginia Beach (the predecessor municipality to
the City of Virginia Beach) granted Virginia Beach Amusement and Pier
Corporation the privilege to erect, construct, maintain and operate an amusement
pier and use the sandy beach. Virginia Beach Amusement and Pier Corporation
(a family business) constructed the pier and related facilities. In April of 1962,
City Council issued an invitation to bid for the construction and operation of a
fishing and amusement pier at 15th Street on the oceanfront (the "Virginia Beach
Fishing Pier"). On May 11, 1962, a franchise for a term of 20 years was granted
to the same family business, known as the Virginia Beach Pier and Amusement
Company ("VBPAC"). Since the expiration of the original 20 -year term, additional
5 -year franchises and one three-year franchise have been granted to VBPAC's
successor, Entertainment, Inc. The pier has been continuously maintained and
operated by the same family since 1949.
The current franchise has expired and Entertainment, Inc. has expressed a
desire to continue to operate the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier (including its related
facilities). Accordingly, a franchise agreement has been drafted by the City
Attorney's Office for Entertainment, Inc.'s use of the City's property for the
operation of the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier.
■ Considerations: The term of the franchise will be from October 10, 2007 until
October 31, 2009. Entertainment, Inc. will pay an annual franchise fee of
$14,000, payable in equal quarterly installments.
■ Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by §15.2-1800
of the Code of Virginia, advertisement of City Council agenda.
■ Alternatives: Adopt the ordinance as presented, change any conditions or
terms of the franchise agreement or disapprove the ordinance.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept Eight Positions from the State Compensation Board,
Appropriate $327,330 in Additional State Revenue, and Transfer $145,212 from the
General Fund Reserve for Contingencies to the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget of the
Commonwealth's Attorney's Office
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background: The State Compensation Board approved three new attorney positions
for the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney's Office for FY 2006-07. At the time, the Office
lacked adequate space to hire the new positions and transferred three City -funded positions to
state functions until such time as their space constraints were resolved.
For FY 2007-08, the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office was granted an additional five positions
by the State Compensation Board — two attorneys, two paralegals, and one clerk. Since the
expansion of the Commonwealth's Attorney's office space to the basement of Building 10B is
nearing completion, additional office space is now available for current and new employees.
The Commonwealth's Attorney intends to fill two of the positions as paralegals, one as an office
assistant, and the remaining five positions are anticipated to be filled as attorneys. The timing
will enable the Commonwealth's Attorney to fill several of these new positions with employees
who are currently employed with the Office under grants that are due to expire in the coming
months.
The State Compensation Board is providing $327,330 for FY 2007-08 toward the salary and
fringe benefit costs of these eight positions. The City portion of the salary and benefits for the
remainder of the year totals $145,212, for a total cost of $472,542.
■ Considerations: According to the State Compensation Board staffing standards, the
Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney continues to be understaffed based on the number of
state -authorized personnel. The impact of the space constraints has inhibited the Office from
filling the positions authorized last year. The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office has one of the
highest caseloads in the state, which will continue to increase without approval of the additional
positions. Declining these positions would result in a permanent reduction of the prosecution of
misdemeanor appeals and domestic violence cases, and it would affect reimbursement
amounts from the state.
■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal agenda
process.
■ Alternatives: Staff allocated to the prosecution of misdemeanor appeals and domestic
violence cases would be permanently allocated to the prosecution of felonies, resulting in a
reduction/elimination of these services.
■ Recommendations: Accept eight additional positions approved by the State
Compensation Board, appropriate $327,330 in additional revenue from the State and transfer
$145,212 from the General Fund Reserve for Contingencies to the FY 2007-08 Operating
Budget of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain
elements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision for Pyong Tu Cho. Property
is located at 1212 North Inlynnview Road (GPIN 1498459841). DISTRICT 5 —
LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The existing lot has 1.79 acres, a lot width of 187.07, and is zoned R-40
Residential District. There is an existing single-family house located on the lot.
The lot is impacted by the -Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, Resource
Protection Area. The applicant has obtained approval from the Chesapeake Bay
Board for the construction activity proposed with this proposal.
The City Council indefinitely deferred this application on January 9, 2007 and
again on August 14, 2007, at the request of the applicant. The applicant has now
requested that the matter be returned to the City Council for consideration. The
applicant has submitted a revised subdivision plat (page 7 of attached report)
that reduces the size of the proposed house shown on the parcel from 5,200
square feet to 4,200 square feet. The applicant has also submitted letters of
support and a petition of support for the proposal.
■ Considerations:
It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide the existing lot into two lots and
develop the new lot with a single-family dwelling. The lot that will contain the
existing house lacks the required lot width of 125 feet. According to the submitted
plat, the lot has a width of only 25.04 feet.
Evaluation of this request reveals that the applicant has not met the criteria listed
in Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance for a variance. Application of the
existing ordinances and regulations produces no undue hardship upon the site.
The site can still be used and or redeveloped in accordance with the current
ordinances and regulations. The existing lot shares the same topographical
characteristics as other lots within the area and thus, this is not a valid reason for
granting the variance. The existing neighborhood will be adversely affected with
the introduction of lots smaller in size than those currently existing on the
waterside of the street. While several variances to lot width have been approved
in the past (see Page 3 of 3, below), those requests produced lots varying in size
from 88,000 square feet to 33,500 square feet outside of water, marsh and
wetlands. This request proposes lots of 28,628 square feet and 26,821 square
Pyong Tu Cho
Page 2of3
feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. Thus, this proposal is not comparable
to past subdivision variance actions.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to deny
this request.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is within the Resource Protection and Management areas of the
CULTURAL FEATURES: Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. The applicant received a variance
from the Chesapeake Bay Board on July 24, 2006 for construction
related to a new dwelling on the proposed lot. The following conditions
are attached to the variance:
1. A pre -construction meeting shall be convened with Civil
Inspections prior to any land disturbance, inclusive of
demolition.
2. A 36" wire re -enforced silt fence shall be installed prior to any
land disturbance and shall remain in place until such time as
vegetative cover is established.
3. Permanent and / or temporary soil stabilization as determined
by staff shall be applied to all disturbed / denuded areas prior
to a final building inspection or certificate of occupancy.
4. Construction limits shall lie a maximum of 15' seaward of
improvements.
5. The construction access way shall be noted on the site plan as
well as the stockpile staging area.
6. Stormwater from existing and proposed impervious cover
associated with both lots shall be conveyed to stormwater
management facilities.
7. If and when the shoreline is re -hardened, a rip -rap revetment
shall be constructed in lieu of a vertical retaining structure
(vinyl, timber or steel bulkhead). The toe of said revetment
shall lie at or landward of mean high water or tidal vegetated
wetlands. Said condition shall be so noted on the site plan.
8. Under deck treatment of sand and gravel shall be installed.
9. A maximum of 10% of Lot Y-1 and 5% of Lot Y-2 of the
residual yard area not devoted to impervious cover may remain
in turf. The residual 90% and 95% respectively, shall be
devoted to buffer restoration — approximately 18,086 square
feet for Lot Y-1 and approximately 19,390 square feet for Lot Y-
2. Said restoration shall utilize bayscape landscaping principles
and incorporate a mulch layer of organic material 4" — 6" in
depth. In addition to the aforementioned buffer restoration, a
minimum of 34 trees shall be installed for Lot Y-2 and thirty-
four (34) trees for Lot Y-1, tree species shall be comprised of
50% deciduous and 50% evergreen, and shall be evenly
distributed throughout the lots to the greatest extent possible.
Required buffer restoration and tree installation for Lot Y-2
shall occur prior to final plat recordation. Required buffer
restoration and tree installation for Lot Y-1 shall occur prior to
the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Said condition
shall be so noted on the site plan.
PYONG TU CHO
Agenda Item 7
Page 2
10. A separate landscape / buffer restoration plan for each lot shall
be submitted concurrent with the site plan / preliminary
subdivision reviews detailing location, number, and species of
vegetation to be installed. The landscape plan shall clearly
delineate existing naturalized area (forest floor), planting beds,
and turf zones.
11. The conditions and approval associated with this variance are
based on the site plan dated April 1, 2006, prepared by Gallup
Surveyors and Engineers Ltd.
12. There shall be no pier constructed for Lot Y-1 and Y-2 beyond
what exists today, exclusive of sub -aqueous bottom.
13. A revised site plan shall be submitted to the Department of
Planning, Development Services Center for review and
approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP):
Inlynnview Road is a residential dead end street. There are no traffic counts for the street. Addition of
one home will generate ten (10) additional ADT.
WATER & SEWER: An eight -inch City water main increases to a 10 -inch City water main in Inlynnview Road.
The site has an existing water meter, which may be used or upgraded. A separate water meter will be required
for the new lot.
There is an eight -inch City gravity sanitary sewer force main on Inlynnview Road fronting the lot. The site is
connected to City sanitary sewer. A separate sanitary sewer connection will be required for the new lot.
Analysis of Pump Station 215 and the sanitary sewer collection system will be required to ensure future flows
can be accommodated.
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states:
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
PYONG TU CHO
Agenda Item 7
Page 3
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably
practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the
ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions
and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by
the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-
inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is
located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of this request.
Evaluation:
Evaluation of this request reveals that the applicant has not met the criteria listed in Section 9.3 and
provided above. Application of the existing ordinances and regulations produces no undue hardship upon
the site. The site can still be used and or redeveloped in accordance with the current ordinances and
regulations. The existing lot shares the same topographical characteristics as other lots within the area
and thus, this is not a valid reason for granting the variance. The existing neighborhood may be adversely
affected with the introduction of lots smaller in size than those currently existing on the waterside of the
street. While several variances to lot width have been approved in the past, those requests produced lots
varying in size from 88,000 square feet to 33,500 square feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. This
request proposes lots of 28,628 square feet and 26,821 square feet outside of water, marsh and
wetlands. Staff, therefore, cannot support the request.

Item #7
Pyong Tu Cho
Subdivision Ordinance
1212 North Inlynnview Road
District 5
Lynnhaven
December 13, 2006
REGULAR
Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, please call the first item in our regular agenda for the public
hearing.
Joseph Strange: The next item is item #7, Pyong Tu Cho. Appeal to Decisions of
Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance,
Subdivision of Pyong Tu Cho. Property is located at 1212 North Inlynnview Road,
District 5, Lynnhaven.
Barry Knight: Do you have a representative for the applicant?
Ed Weeden: Richard Bartlett.
Barry Knight: Is the applicant present?
Richard Bartlett: A representative of the applicant.
Barry Knight: That is fine. Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
Richard Bartlett: My name is Richard Bartlett. I'm here on behalf of Mr. Pyong Tu Cho.
This is Paul. This is his son.
Paul Cho: My name is Paul Cho.
Richard Bartlett: Mr. Cho desires to subdivide this property. I could have one of the
slides? One more please. In Lot Y-1, which is left of the green line shown and Y-2,
which is right of the green line shown there. It is presently a residence, which Mr. Cho
occupies. Just below the letter Y to Lot Y-2, and that his is principal residence. The
intent is to subdivide it so he can build another single-family residence on Lot Y-1 for his
son, who is in Chicago. Mr. Cho started this process last spring, and in the spring of
2006, when the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act variance was requested. And I fully
understand the difference between the Planning Commission and the CBPA Board. He
went through the process of the CBPA and the CBPA approved, based on that indication
there, a variance for that CBPA plan on July 24, 2006. The next step after that was to
come before the Planning Commission; therefore, we request permission to legally
subdivide the property so we can move forward on this. In the timeframe from July to
when we made the application on behalf of the Cho's, Paul, Mr. Cho's son, has canvassed
the neighborhood, having signatures or comments in support of this process here, and on
North Inlynnview Road, and if you can go back a little bit? Go back please? On North
Inlynnview Road, you can see it sort of goes to the left where the Crossness property is
and then takes that left at the bottom of the screen. We've contacted about 80 percent of
the residents along there, and everyone that he has contacted has signed a signature page
that was submitted with the application package in support of that. The 20 percent that he
didn't get are where they were not home where did not sign it. They didn't express a
desire not to have it done, but they were either not available or desired not to sign it. He
has received no opposition from neighbors whatsoever in support of this. The other thing
that I wanted to note and it's important. Paul is going to hold this up here. Previous
Planning Commissions have approved subdivision of lots in the neighborhood. I don't
know if you can all see this.
Ed Weeden: Mr. Bartlett? Try to stay next to the microphone.
Richard Bartlett: I'm sorry. Okay. The green arrow here is Mr. Cho's lot. The orange
rectangular coming out is Mr. Cho's lot. All the other red arrows are subdivided lots.
These lots have all been subdivided with approval from previous Planning Commissions.
There was a concern expressed that subdividing Mr. Cho's lot, which is approximately 2 -
acres, and if we can go back again, Y-1 and Y-2 are approximately 1 -acre. I think one is
.92 and 1.04. I think it is about 2 -acres. Several of these subdivisions have also been
split, and that 1 -acre, and specifically Lot 3, have been separated into lots that are 1 -acre,
as well as Lots 5 and 6 have and Lot 8. There have been other lots established through
subdivision process that approximately equate the land area. Mr. Cho's should be
subdivided. What were asking is that the Planning Commission be consistent with past
Planning Commission rulings and apply the same criteria and allow him to subdivide his
lots into two, approximately 1 -acre lots for future residential construction on Lot Y-2.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Bartlett? We don't have any
other speakers do we Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: No.
Barry Knight: No. Okay. Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Bartlett, you do know that we did receive a letter from a neighbor
who is in opposition.
Richard Bartlett: I am not aware of that.
Dorothy Wood: You have signatures from your adjacent neighbors, both of them, and the
people across the street?
Paul Cho: Next door ma'am. We have the adjacent. Yes.
Dorothy Wood: Both sides?
2
Paul Cho: Not both sides, only one side.
Dorothy Wood: And the other side was objecting?
Paul Cho: Yes.
Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: Could you show us on that site plan which neighbor objected?
Barry Knight: There is a laser right there Mr. Bartlett.
Richard Bartlett: This neighbor right here objected. We are not aware of the objection,
because we don't have any record of any objection.
Barry Knight: Would that be Mr. Edwards? Does Mr. Edwards live there?
Paul Cho: Mr. Edwards lives across the street. He lives right there.
Dorothy Wood: Yeah.
Barry Knight: Okay.
Richard Bartlett: His house is for sale.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: Could you show with the laser on that map you got, you have arrows where
there were other subdivisions. Can you use the laser to show as existing lots, which
ones?
Richard Bartlett: This lot right here was subdivided and this lot here.
Dorothy Wood: How big is that lot now?
Richard Bartlett: Lot 3? Let me see. That is a result of a subdivision and those lots were
3.45 acres, 1.5 acres, .92, 1.87, and .97. All of these lots here have been subdivided on a
larger parcel now consist of those five numbers here. So they run the gamut of .92 acres
to 3.45 acres.
Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: So, these two lots that you are trying to subdivide would be just a little bit
more than a half -acre?
z
Richard Bartlett: No.
Kathy Katsias: 25,000 square feet?
Richard Bartlett: No. They would be .92 acres and 1.02 acres.
Kathy Katsias: Okay.
Barry Knight: Is that of high land?
Richard Bartlett: I'm sorry. I didn't hear you.
Barry Knight: Is that total acreage including high land and land that is in floodplain?
Richard Bartlett: That is total acreage of the lot.
Barry Knight: Total acreage. Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I don't know anything about the other variances at all. Since I've been
on here, I don't think we've had any in this neighborhood. I can't recall any. But the staff
had a problem because they couldn't find whether it was a hardship. Can you tell us what
the hardship is that we need to address, because that is really what we need to look at
here?
Richard Bartlett: Right. And I understand that.
Ronald Ripley: What is the hardship?
Richard Bartlett: The only hardship that we are approaching here is that consistency be
applied from previous Planning Commissions.
Ronald Ripley: That is the hardship?
Richard Bartlett: Yes. Let's not single out where other Planning Commissions have
allowed it.
Ronald Ripley: How is that a hardship? I don't understand. Is there a hardship relating
to the property itself?
Richard Bartlett: There is no hardship to the property itself. It is just the treatment of the
individual.
Ronald Ripley: Okay. So this is some sort of policy hardship basically that you are
interpreting?
Richard Bartlett: I wouldn't say policy. Whatever term you want to use, it is the
standards of existence to the City of Virginia Beach.
Ronald Ripley: Okay. I understand. Thank you.
Richard Bartlett: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: When was the adjacent property subdivided? I don't remember it either,
and I've been on for seven years.
Richard Bartlett: These here?
Dorothy Wood: Yes sir.
Richard Bartlett: 1987.
Dorothy Wood: Quite a while ago. The Planning Commissions have changed through
the years.
Richard Bartlett: Yes. I understand that none of you here were on the Planning
Commission in 1987.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions?
Richard Bartlett: A couple of others were after that.
Dorothy Wood: But they are not exactly in the neighborhood, are they, like Brittany
Estates isn't exactly in the neighborhood?
Richard Bartlett: Lot 2, which is right next to it, was done in 2000. It is just acreage. Lot
1, 2005, Lot 2 was 2000; so, we've had subdivisions in that area. My first comments
were those that were comparable areas.
Barry Knight: Mr. Henley has a question.
Al Henley: The lot that will be created where the new home will go, you said it was
roughly little over an acre. Approximately, what area of that parcel is wetland, marsh or
water?
Richard Bartlett: A percentage?
Al Henley: Yes.
e
Richard Bartlett: My recollection of it, and I don't have a calculator but you're look at
about 10 percent or so.
Al Henley: So, 10 percent would be wetlands? The second question is that the resident
to the left, the resident who lives there subdivided that parcel some years ago?
Paul Cho: Next to the left they just built a house, and last year they moved in.
Al Henley: Okay.
Ed Weeden: Mr. Cho, you need to get to the mic.
Paul Cho: Oh, I'm sorry. Right next to the left lot, they built a house, and they moved in
last year. 038 and 481, and all three lots were one owner. They subdivided it.
Al Henley: Okay. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for the applicant? Thank you sir.
Richard Bartlett: Thank you.
Paul Cho: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, you said we have no more speakers?
Joseph Strange: No other speakers.
Barry Knight: We'll open it up for discussion among the Commission members. Ms.
Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I would like to say hello to Paul. I haven't seen you in a long time.
I've known Paul for several years, and his parents. They run a business near London
Bridge, which I frequented several times, and they are - I think the world of Paul and his
parents. So, they are wonderful people. But, I have reservations of supporting this,
because I do not believe it meets the criteria we're supposed to look for a hardship. And,
the hardship is really supposed to be for the subdivision. And the hardship is in the
property and not in finance where it would be convenient for the Cho's to subdivide the
property because they have sufficient land to put their son's house there. I know that is
what they desire, but that is not a hardship. The property is rectangular shaped. It is not
unusually large and I just can't believe, and we've got some letters from neighbors that
say that they believe that it negatively impacts their neighborhood and the character of it.
I just don't think it meets the qualifications.
Barry Knight: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Is there anyone else? Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: As the Lynnhaven representative, I totally agree with Ms. Anderson, and
therefore, I except the recommendation of the Planning staff and support their
recommendation.
Barry Knight: Would you like to make a motion?
Kathy Katsias: I make a motion to approve the recommendations?
Barry Knight: To deny the application?
Kathy Katsias: I mean to deny the application?
Barry Knight: To deny? Okay.
Kathy Katsias: Oh to deny. Right.
Barry Knight: Okay.
John Waller: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor to deny agenda item #7 by Kathy
Katsias and a second by John Waller. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: The only thing that I'm struggling with is, and you're looking at it right now.
You've got three flag logs on the same side of the street, and they are all close to each
other. But I do agree with Commissioner Katsias and Commissioner Anderson's
comments, and it seems like based on this table, that there is a significant area of these
lots that would be in the marsh that are included in the lot size. Based on this table, the
upland area of Y-1 is almost 27,000 square feet. The Lot Y-2 in the rear, the upland is
almost 28,000 square feet. So, to me, I'm kind of struggling with the resulting size based
on the upland area because there are a lot of wetlands that is included in the one -acre lots.
Then you got those flag lots, and they are right there, directly adjacent on the same side of
the street. So, I'm still kind on the fence.
Barry Knight: Mr.. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I tend to agree also, but I think for my point of clarification, Mr. Scott, it
does meet that upland requirement doesn't it?
Robert Scott: It apparently does. It's an issue of width.
Ronald Ripley: Yes. That's it.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? There is a motion on the floor by Kathy
Katsias and a second by John Waller to deny. So a vote of AYE is to deny. We'll call for
the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of CH&B Associates, L.L.P. for approval of a conceptual site
plan addressing the site and building design elements consistent with the
existing commercial designation of property at the northeast corner of Princess
Anne Road and South Plaza Trail in accordance with proffers previously
approved by City Council on September 9, 2003. (GPIN —1476612829). DISTRICT 2
— KEMPSVILLE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
CH&B Associates is requesting approval of a conceptual site plan for a
commercial shopping center. The request is not a change of zoning on the site
for the purpose of allowing the shopping center, as the site has already been
rezoned for that purpose in 2003. Moreover, the site has been designated as
commercial since 1971 as part of a PUD (later PD -1-11) Planned Development
Land Use Plan for the Brenneman Farm. This current request is for approval of
the plan for the site, as required by the proffers of that rezoning. At the time of
the 2003 rezoning, neither a concept plan for the site layout nor elevation
drawings for the buildings were available. Thus, the applicant proffered the
following:
The Property shall not be developed until an application has been
submitted for approval and acted upon by City Council in a timely manner
with respect to a conceptual site plan addressing the design elements
relating to the site, buildings, parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian
and vehicular access.
Thus, the specific purpose of this application is to review the design of the site,
buildings, parking, landscape plantings, and pedestrian and vehicle access to
and from and within the site.
■ Considerations:
The submitted concept plan depicts a traditional strip -style shopping center
(214,417 square feet total), anchored by a major tenant (shown as 48,706 square
foot `grocery store' on the plan), with four (4) outparcels adjacent to S. Plaza
Trail, a cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection of Princess Anne Road
and S. Plaza Trail, and a self -standing restaurant adjacent to Princess Anne
Road. The cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection provides a focal

point at that location, which is a desirable design feature under the Zoning
Ordinance's regulations for retail establishments and shopping centers (Sections
243 - 249). Also located within the cluster of small shops is a landscaped plaza
area, which is also a desirable design feature.
Additional details pertaining to parking, vehicular and pedestrian access, building
design, and landscape features are provided in the attached staff report.
The submitted plans provide evidence that the retail center will be of high quality,
consistent with the high quality of design established by the existing retail,
residential, educational, office and institutional uses surrounding the site. The site
and building designs are also consistent with the provisions of the retail design
regulations contained within the City Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
concluded the proposal was consistent with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan and the retail design requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,
staff recommended approval, and there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 with 1
abstention to approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept plan
entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Master Plan, Option X, dated August 30,
2007, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning.
2. The site shall be landscaped in substantial conformance with the concept
plan entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Conceptual Planting Plan, Option X,
dated August 15, 2007, submitted to and on file with the Department of
Planning. The streetscape plantings and features shall consist of the
plantings described on such plan and as depicted on the rendering entitled
"Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to
and on file with the Department of Planning.
3. The architectural design elements, exterior material finishes, and exterior
colors of all buildings located on the site shall be substantially as shown on
the renderings submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning.
4. The primary identification signs for the development shall be located at the
points shown on the plan described in Condition 1. Such signs shall be
monument -style and shall be substantially as depicted on the rendering
entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design,
submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. In no case,
however, shall signage for the site exceed the requirements of the City
CH&B Associates, L.L.P.

Zoning Ordinance.
5. Identification signs for the individual businesses within the buildings shown on
the plan described in Condition 1 shall be located on the buildings
substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the
Department of Planning. There shall be no neon signs or neon accents
installed on any wall area of the building, on or within any windows and / or
doors, awnings, light poles, or any other portion of the site.

outparcels adjacent to S. Plaza Trail, a cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection of Princess

centers (Sections 243 - 249). Also located within the cluster of small shops is a landscaped plaza area,
which is also a desirable design feature.
Parking is well distributed throughout the site in various groupings of spaces, with access to the
groupings provided by an internal roadway system. The result is the elimination of the 'sea of asphalt'
affect typical of older shopping centers. Additionally, parking spaces are located immediately adjacent to
the small and medium-size shops located in the main shopping strip. A total of 1,261 spaces are
provided, which exceeds the number required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Vehicular access to and from the site is provided at two points on S. Plaza Trail, one point on Healthy
Way, and two points on Princess Anne Road. The primary vehicular access point is at the existing
intersection of Brenneman Trail and S. Plaza Trail, where a traffic signal will be necessary. The remaining
access point on S. Plaza Trail and the two access points on Princess Anne Road will allow only right -in
and right -out movements by vehicles. The access point on Healthy Way will be at a new median break on
Healthy Way, and thus, will allow the full range of turning movements for vehicles. There is also an
access point at the end of the cul-de-sac bulb for Healthy Way; however, this access is designated as
being for delivery and service vehicles rather than customers of the center.
Pedestrian access is provided throughout the center, with a number of connections to the public sidewalk
system on Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail. Walkways within the site are adjacent to the internal
roadway system and are connected to walkways that cross drive aisles in the parking lots to connect with
the walkways for each outparcel as well as the walkway fronting the main shopping strip. The walkway
system also provides connectivity between outparcels and allows for ingress and egress from the site via
walkways between that run between outparcels. Additionally, as required by the retail design provisions of
the Zoning Ordinance, a wide landscaped walkway is located within the parking area in front of the
anchor retail building, running from the entrance of that building through the parking lot and ending at the
walkway adjacent to the internal roadway.
Landscape plantings are provided throughout the site and within the parking areas, as required by
ordinance. The 'plaza' area located at the cluster of small shops at the southern corner of the site has
plantings of large shade trees, such as London plane trees, and small flowering accent trees, such as
cherry trees. Adjacent to Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail is a streetscape feature consisting of a
white open -rail fence, crape myrtles, and evergreen shrubs, matching the streetscape feature already
installed on the southeast side of S. Plaza Trail. This feature is instrumental in providing screening of the
parking spaces and drive aisles located between the buildings adjacent to Princess Anne Road and S.
Plaza Trail, as the retail design provisions of the ordinance require such screening when parking spaces
and drive aisles are located between the buildings and the property line.
The proposed buildings possess a mixture of Colonial, Modern, and Victorian style elements, which,
combined, provide an interesting facade with a variety of patterns, materials, and colors. Specific
elements include pediments, cornices, arches, pilasters, arcades, awnings, and a bracketed tower.
Exterior material finishes include brick veneer and exterior insulated finish system (EIFS) with standing
seam metal roofing on the pediment above the main anchor store and on the roof of the corner tower. In
sum, the submitted renderings depict buildings that comply with the requirements of the retail design
provisions of the City Zoning Ordinance.
A condition to be added to an approval of the submitted site plan and the building elevations is
recommended below to ensure that all of the buildings on the site will be of similar design, exterior finish,
and colors.

ZONING HISTORY:
The Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan was originally approved by City
Council as a PUD in June of 1971. This plan was comprised of 241
acres and consisted of mixed residential uses with a total of 1,024 units,
16 acres of commercial development, and a 23 acre office park. No
details of the development were provided other than a general land use
plan. In 1982, the City Council rezoned all properties in the PUD zoning
district in Virginia Beach to PD -H1. In 1992, 15 acres were rezoned from
PD -H1 to R-10 Residential District and a Conditional Use Permit for the
Catholic High School was granted. In 1998, City Council approved
another amendment that resulted in a revised Land Use Plan. In 2003,
the site was rezoned from PD -H1 to Conditional B-2, Conditional 0-2
and A-12 with a PD -1-12 Overlay. That rezoning resulted in all of the
residential uses being on the southeast side of South Plaza Trail. The
northwestern side of South Plaza Trail was rezoned for office (north and
west of the new Bon Secours medical facility) and retail commercial uses
(on the subject site).

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
TRAFFIC: Public Works / Traffic Engineering has reviewed the Brenneman Farms Retail Master Plan dated
June 29, 2007 in regard to the proposed access to the retail center. Traffic Engineering is also currently
reviewing the revised Traffic Impact Study for this retail center, dated August 2007, that shows the specific
retail uses indicated on the Master Plan [NOTE: A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was done in 2003 with that
rezoning; the TIS submitted with this current request is an update to the 2003 TIS based on the specificity of
the proposed concept plan]. A summary of the trip generation for the retail center from the original TIS and
revised TIS is provided below:
Existing TIS: 10.730 ADT (average daily trips) weekday based on 250,000 s.f. retail shopping center.
935 trips P.M. peak hour TOTAL COMMERCIAL
Revised TIS: 5,669 ADT weekday based on 55,446 s.f supermarket
5,747 ADT weekday based on 133,460 s.f. specialty retail
4,396 ADT weekday based on 21,511 s.f. (four) restaurants
986 ADT weekday based on 4,000 s.f bank
16,798 ADT weekday TOTAL COMMERCIAL
1,242 trips P.M. peak hour TOTAL COMMERCIAL
The TIS indicates that a traffic signal will be warranted at the South Plaza Trail / Brenneman Trail / Retail
Center Entrance intersection.
The TIS concludes that a traffic signal will not be warranted at Healthy Way, Traffic Engineering, however,
concludes that with the addition of the retail center traffic, the intersection could possibly meet traffic signal
warrants in the future. Thus, the applicant will be required to post traffic signal bonds at the site plan submittal
stage for both the Brenneman Trail and the Healthy Way intersections.
WATER and SEWER: This site must connect to the City water and sewer systems.
STORMWATER: The original City approved Master Storm Water Plan (MSWP) for the Brenneman Farm,
prepared in 1998, includes a series of eight (8) interconnected wet ponds that ultimately discharge to the canal
along the eastern boundary of the Brenneman Farm [NOTE: canal is located on southeast side of S. Plaza
Trail, between the currently developing residential area and the Timberlake neighborhoods]. One of those
eight ponds, Pond #7, was anticipated along the South Plaza Trail frontage on the commercial property. After
going through conceptual planning for the commercial tract, however, it was quickly realized that the pond as
shown on the original City approved MSWP would have to be relocated toward the rear of the property in order
to achieve the goals of the development. It also became evident that the proposed pond was no longer an
amenity since it was relocated to the rear of the development. The 1998 SWM Plan, however, showed another
proposed small stormwater pond (Pond #3) northeast of the Bon Secours Property on the portion of the
Brenneman Farm zoned Office along South Plaza Trail. From an amenity perspective, it was concluded that a
single large pond on the Office property in lieu of two small ponds located on either side of the existing pond
on the Bon Secours parcel is the best alternative and will provide the best opportunity to create an amenity
using the stormwater ponds. Consequently, it was concluded that Pond #7 should be combined with Pond #3
to provide for the needed storage volume requirements stated in the City approved MSWP. Thus, stormwater
for the subject retail development will be piped to this combined pond, which will be constructed to the
northeast behind the existing Bon Secours medical facility. The result will be a single larger pond that provides
a storage volume equal to or greater than that anticipated with Pond #7 and Pond #3 in the 1998 MSWP.
CH&B
Agenda Item 1
Page 4
The ponds that make up the Brenneman Farm pond system all have the same normal water surface elevation
and are connected by submerged stormwater pipes such that the storage volume (volume in the pond above
the normal water surface) provided in the pond system for runoff during storm events is shared for the entire
Brenneman Farm development. The interconnected pipe and pond system on the Brenneman Farm is
contained within a Public Drainage Easement. The MSWP was designed to establish basic parameters by
which the future development should be based. Since the relocation of Pond #7 from the commercial parcel to
the office parcel maintains the available storage volume for the runoff from the entire Brenneman Farm
development, the proposed change will not significantly impact the existing or future developments on the
Brenneman Farm. In addition, because the existing pipe and pond system is within a public drainage
easement, no further legal arrangements are needed to allow a connection to the system.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
conceptual site plan and building renderings with the conditions below.
Evaluation:
As noted at the outset of this report, this request is not a change of zoning for the site to allow the
shopping center, as the site was already rezoned for that purpose in 2003. Moreover, the site has been
designated as commercial since 1971 as part of a PUD (later PD -1-11) Planned Development Land Use
Plan for the Brenneman Farm. This current request is for approval of the plan of development for the site,
as required by the proffers of the 2003 rezoning. At the time of that rezoning, neither a concept plan for
the site layout nor elevation drawings for the buildings were available. Thus, the applicant proffered the
following:
The Property shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval and
acted upon by City Council in a timely manner with respect to a conceptual site plan addressing
the design elements relating to the site, buildings, parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian and
vehicular access.
Thus, the specific purpose of this request is for approval of the design of the site, buildings, parking,
landscape plantings, and pedestrian and vehicle access to and from and within the site.
Staff concludes that the submitted plans provide evidence that the retail center will be of high quality,
consistent with the high quality of design established by the existing retail, residential, educational, office
and institutional uses surrounding the site. The site and building designs are also consistent with the
provisions of the retail design regulations contained within the City Zoning Ordinance.
CONDITIONS
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman
Farm Retail, Master Plan, Option J", dated August 30, 2007, submitted to and on file with the
Department of Planning.
2. The site shall be landscaped in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman
Farm Retail, Conceptual Planting Plan, Option X, dated August 15, 2007, submitted to and on file with
CH&B
Agenda Item 1
Page 5
the Department of Planning. The streetscape plantings and features shall consist of the plantings
described on such plan and as depicted on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October
12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning.
3. The architectural design elements, exterior material finishes, and exterior colors of all buildings located
on the site shall be substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the
Department of Planning.
4. The primary identification signs for the development shall be located at the points shown on the plan
described in Condition 1. Such signs shall be monument -style and shall be substantially as depicted
on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to
and on file with the Department of Planning. In no case, however, shall signage for the site exceed the
requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance.
5. Identification signs for the individual businesses within the buildings shown on the plan described in
Condition 1 shall be located on the buildings substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to
and on file with the Department of Planning. There shall be no neon signs or neon accents installed on
any wall area of the building, on or within any windows and / or doors, awnings, light poles, or any
other portion of the site.
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 and Standards.
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.

Approval of Conceptual Site Plan
Northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and

September 12, 2007
CONSENT
Barry Knight: Our next portion of the agenda will be the consent items. I'll let the Vice
Chair handle this portion.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Chairman. This afternoon we have 13 items on the
consent agenda. The first item is agenda item 1. The application of CH&B Associates,
L.L.P. This is an application for approval of a site plan addressing the development of
commercial property. It is located on the northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and
South Plaza Trail. It has five conditions. The application is in reference to proffers that
were approved by the City of Virginia Beach Council on September 9, 2003. This is in
the Kempsville District. Welcome Mr. Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much Ms. Anderson. It is a pleasure to be here. For the
record, my name is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney representing the applicant. We
appreciate being on the consent agenda. I appreciate your consideration during the early
morning session. The revised five conditions are fully acceptable to us. I would also like
to state for the record, since this goes to Council, that we have met with the adjacent civic
associations, the Catholic church and Bon Secours. All of them wrote letters in support. I
have left a copy of those for Ed for the file. Thank you very much.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Nutter. Is there any objection to this agenda item being
placed on the consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Henry Livas to
review this application.
Henry Livas: As previously stated, this is for approval of a conceptual site plan for a
commercial shopping center located at the northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and
South Plaza Trail. This site was rezoned to allow for a shopping center in September
2003. At the time of the rezoning, neither a concept plan site layout nor elevation
drawings for the buildings were available. Thus the applicant proffered that the property
shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval. Thus, the
specific purpose of this application is to review the design of the site, buildings, parking,
landscape plans, pedestrian and vehicle access to and from within the site. A submitted
concept plan depicts a traditional strip type shopping center approximately 214,417
square feet, anchored by a grocery store about 50,000 square feet. The Planning staff
recommended approval of the conceptual site plan and building renderings. However,
they did have some problems with the two accesses off of Princess Anne Road, but after
consulting with Traffic Engineering, they determined that it is not as critical on that
Item #1
CH&B Associates, L.L.P.
Page 2
section of Princess Anne Road as other sections, and the Planning Commission has
decided that two access sites would be appropriate; so, therefore, we eliminated condition
6. Therefore, we now recommend approval of the conceptual site plan.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Livas. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to
approve agenda item 1.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. There is a second by Gene Crabtree. Ms.
Katsias.
Kathy Katsias: Mr. Chairman, I have to abstain from item 1. My company does business
with the applicant. Therefore, I will not be able to vote on it.
Barry Knight: Thank you.
David Redmond: Mr. Chairman?
Barry Knight: Yes, Mr. Redmond.
David Redmond: I should also state with regard to CH&B. My company provides work
for that applicant. I do not. However, on the advice of the City Attorney, I need only to
disclose that fact. I do not believe it will affect me in any way from exercising judgment
on it.
Barry Knight: Mr. Weeden. Have you noted Ms. Katsias' abstention? There is a motion
on the floor by Jan Anderson and seconded by Gene Crabtree to approve item 1. I'll call
for the question.

Re: Brenneman Farm Retail
Mr_ Caplan:
The Board of Directors of the Princess Anne Square at Bellamy Condominium Association
reviewed the site plan and pictures of the planned Brenneman Farm Retail Shopping Center to
be located at the intersection of Princess Anne Road and South Plaza Trail in Virginia Beach
at their regular Board meeting on Tuesday,. August 14, 2007. This center is well devised with
a fantastic anchor tenant (Ha;iis Teeter), terrific landscaping and it Will be a great shopping
convenience and asset to the entire Princess Anne Square community when open for operation
in early 2009,
We appreciate your willingness to share this information with the association and we stand in
full support of the plan as presented. Not to be on the selfish side, we are really looking
forward to the installation. of the traffic, light at the intersection of South Plaza 'frail and
Brenneman Drive. This will certainly make ingress and egress to our community much safer
not to mention making the possibility of walking to the shopping area a real_ possibility.
You have the full support of the Princess Anne Square at Bellamy Condominium Association

Re: Brenneman Farm Retail
Mr- Caplan:
The association manager for the Gables at Bellamy Condoniirtium Association shared the
information (site: plan,. etc.) regarding the soon to be built Brenneman Farm Retail
Shopping Center with the Board of Directors at their regular Board meeting on Tuesday,
August 28, 2007. The anchor tenant, Harris Teeter, will certainly be a welcome addition
to the existing merchants in this area of Kempsville_ If these plans are adhered to, the
upscale nature of the structures with the abundance of landscaping will be an asset to the
entire Gables at Bellamy community.
Your willingness to share this information with the association is greatly appreciated.
Too many times things are designed, built and opened with neighboring communities
only guessing until very late in the process. This `sneak preview' was a testament to: your
role as a developer in the Tidewater area.
You have the fbll support of the Gables at Bellamy Condominium Association as the
plans for this project move forward.
Sincerely,
Roy Hughes, President

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of College Park, L.L.C. for a Modification of Conditions for a
request approved by City Council on January 23, 2007. Property is located at
6226 Providence Road (GPIN 1456335185). DISTRICT 1 — CENTERVILLE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The Conditional Rezoning from B-2 Commercial District to Conditional A-36
Apartment District was approved by the City Council on January 23, 2007. A
Conditional Use Permit for Senior Housing was also approved in conjunction with
the rezoning request.
The applicant rezoned the four -acre site to Conditional A-36 for the development
of up to 144 senior housing, independent -living units within two (2) buildings. The
applicant now desires to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type
structure and to add a maintenance structure. Neither the covered parking nor
the maintenance structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is, therefore,
necessary to modify the proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow those
structures.
■ Considerations:
At the time of the rezoning proposal, the applicant was unaware of the desire
among potential residents for covered parking. The layout of the apartment
buildings is not changing. The modifications to the plan are minimal in scope and
will not negatively impact the proposal for senior housing apartments.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
modification to the proffered plan is minimal, the addition of the covered garages
will provide an additional amenity to the development, and there was no
opposition to the proposed changes.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request.

REQUEST:
Modification of Proffers from the Conditional
Change of Zoning from B-2 to Conditional A -
36 granted by the City Council on January 23,
2007.
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located on the north side of Providence Road, west of Indian River
Road at 6226 Providence Road
GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
14563351850000 3 — CENTERVILLE 4.0 acres
The Conditional Rezoning from B-2 Commercial District to SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Conditional A-36 Apartment District was approved by the City
Council on January 23, 2007. A Conditional Use Permit for Senior Housing was also approved in
conjunction with the rezoning request.
The applicant rezoned the four -acre site to Conditional A-36 for the development of up to 144 senior
housing, independent -living units within two (2) buildings. Senior housing is defined as facilities with
dwelling units where at least one (1) family member is 62 years of age or older. The parking requirement
is modified for these facilities to only one (1) space per independent dwelling unit. It is the applicant's
intent to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type structure and to add a maintenance structure.
Neither the covered parking nor the maintenance structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is,
therefore, necessary to modify the proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow those structures.
The Conditional Rezoning has four (4) proffers:
PROFFER 1:
When the property is developed, it shall be substantially in accordance with the Preliminary Site Plan
entitled "COLLEGE SQUARE SENIOR APARTMENTS, 6226 PROVIDENCE ROAD" dated 08/02/06,
prepared by Engineering Services, Inc., which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and

is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning ("Site Plan").
PROFFER 2:
When the property is developed, the residential structures depicted on the Site Plan shall have the
architectural design and utilize the building materials substantially as depicted and designated on the
exhibit entitled, "PROVIDENCE ROAD SENIOR LIVING UNITS, CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA,"
dated 08/22/06, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the
Virginia Beach Planning Department ("Elevations").
PROFFER 3:
When the property is developed, there will be no more than one hundred forty-four (144) independent
senior housing units provided within the building depicted on the Site Plan.
PROFFER 4:
Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and administration of
applicable City Codes by all cognizant City Agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code
requirements.
Proffer 1 tied the development to a specific plan that did not consider covered parking or a maintenance
building on the property. As such, the applicant is required to gain approval for the proposed
modifications shown on the plan.
The elevation drawing for the maintenance building depicts a mix of vinyl and brick on the exterior with
one (1) garage door and a pedestrian door.

Evaluation:
The addition of both 44 covered parking spaces and a maintenance building is acceptable. At the time of
the rezoning proposal, the applicant was unaware of the desire among potential residents for covered
parking. The layout of the apartment buildings is not changing. The modifications to the plan are minimal
in scope and will not negatively impact the proposal for senior housing apartments. Staff is
recommending approval of the modified proffer agreement as described 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,"
(§107(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:
Proffer number "1" in the 2006 Proffers is amended to read: When the property is developed, it shall be
substantially in accordance with the Site Layout Plan entitled "The Renaissance Senior Apartments, 6226

Modification of Conditions
6226 Providence Road
District 1

September 12, 2007
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 4. It is the application of College Park,
L.L.C. This is for Modification of Conditions relating back to a change of zoning that
was approved by Council in January 23, 2007 on property located at 6226 Providence
Road in the Centerville District. Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Madam Secretary. Mr. Chairman, again for the record,
Eddie Bourdon, I'm a Virginia Beach attorney representing College Park, L.L.C. We
appreciate this item being placed on the consent agenda. Obviously, our proffers are
acceptable to us. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the
consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Al Henley to review the
application.
Al Henley: Thank you. The property is located on the north side of Providence Road,
west of Indian River Road at 6226 Providence Road. The conditional rezoning from B-2
Commercial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District was approved by the
Council on January 23, 2007. A Conditional Use Permit for the senior housing was also
approved in conjunction with the rezoning request. The applicant rezoned the four -acre
site to Conditional A-36 for the development of up to 144 senior housing, independent -
living units within two (2) buildings. Senior housing is defined as facilities with dwelling
units were at least one (1) family member is 62 years of age or older. The parking
requirement is modified for these facilities to only one (1) space per independent unit. It
is the applicant's intent to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type structure and
to add a maintenance structure. Neither the covered parking nor the maintenance
structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is, therefore, necessary to modify the
proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow these structures. Staff recommended
approval of this item. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommend that this item be
placed on the consent agenda with the submitted proffers. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Henley. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion
to approve agenda item 4.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor by Jan Anderson and seconded by Gene
Crabtree to approve agenda item 4. I'll call for the question.

WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes
incompatible development of various types of uses conflict and that in order to permit
differing types of uses on and in the area of the Property and at the same time to recognize
the effects of change that will be created by the proposed modification of conditions to the
zoning, certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection
of the community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned are needed to
resolve the situation to which the 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 a part of the proposed modification to
the existing zoning conditions with respect to the Property, the following reasonable
conditions related to the physical development, operation, and use of the Property to be
adopted, which conditions have a reasonable relation to the proposed modification and the
need for which is generated by the proposed modification.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantor, its successors, personal representatives, 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

approval, hereby makes the following declaration of conditions and restrictions which
shall restrict and govern the physical development, operation, and use of the Property and
hereby covenants and agrees that this declaration shall constitute covenants running with

accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, shall continue

prior to instituting proceedings in court; and

Upon motion by Councilwoman McClanan, seconded by Councilman Baum, City Council
ADOPTED an Ordinance upon application of ST. MICHAEL LUTHERAN CHURCH for a
Conditional Use Permit:
ORDINANCE UPON APPLICATION OF ST. MICHAEL LUTHERAN
CHURCH FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A CHURCH
R04881138
BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
Ordinance upon application of St. Michael Lutheran
Church for a Conditional Use Permit for a church on
the northwest side of Princes Anne Road, 103 feet
northeast of Huckleberry Trail on Parcel One,
Subdivision of Property of Alot Corporation. Said
parcel contains 3 acres. PRINCESS ANNE BOROUGH.
The following conditions shall be required:
1. A dedication of right-of-way for a right turn lane
is required for the site from Princess Anne Road.
2. Improvements to the right turn lane may be required
with future expansion of the church facilities.
The requirement of turn lane construction will be
determined during future detail site plan review.
This determination will be based on the type and
extent of the expansion and the additional need
generated by the expansion.
3. Improvements for two left turn lanes may be
required with future expansion of the church
facilities to provide for safe U-turn movements.
The required left turn lanes will be located
eastbound on Princess Anne Road at its
intersection with General Booth Boulevard and
westbound on Princess Anne Road at its intersection
with Huckleberry Trail. The requirement for turn
lane construction will be determined during future
detail site plan review. This determination will
be based on the type and extent of the expansion
and the additional need generated by the expansion.
4. As an alternative to the left turn lane
improvements, it is suggested that the
representative of the church negotiate rights of
ingress and egress with the owners/developers of
the adjacent property located to the northeast. If
and when this property is developed and appropriate
City ordinances allow for the ingress and egress
of the church related traffic across the property,
the church related traffic will be afforded access
to the traffic signal at General Booth Boulevard
and Princess Anne Road, thereby relieving the need
for left turn lanes for U-turn purposes.

Modification of Conditions
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of St. Michael Lutheran Church for a Modification of
Conditions for a request approved by City Council on April 25, 1988. Property is
located at 2208 Princess Anne Road (GPIN 2404952881). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS
ANNE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
Modifications to the original 1988 Use Permit allowing various expansions and a
preschool were approved by the City Council on October 12, 2004, August 9,
2005, and August 8, 2006.
■ Considerations:
The applicant now requests a modification of the Use Permit to allow the
enclosure of an existing storage / picnic shelter to be used year round for church
classroom space. This enclosure of the existing shelter will not increase the
number of children at the preschool. The new enclosed space will not be rented
out or leased for any outside activities.
The modification is reasonable and will not change the consistency of the original
use permit with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for this area. The use
remains compatible with the adjacent neighborhood as well business areas.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
request will not impact parking, membership, activities at the church or the
surrounding residential neighborhood, and there was no opposition to the
request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. All conditions with attached to the Modifications of the Conditional Use Permit
granted by the City Council August 8, 2006 remain in affect.
2. The exterior of the proposed enclosed shelter shall be designed to be
compatible with the existing exterior materials on the existing building on the
site.

CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda 10. It is the application of St. Michael
Lutheran Church. This is for a Modification of Conditions connected to a Use Permit
that was approved by Council back on April 25, 1998, on property located 2208 Princess
Anne Road, in the Princess Anne District. Welcome sir.
Roger Whitaker: Thank you. I'm Roger Whitaker. I'm a member of St. Michael and
Director of Church Operations. We appreciate you putting us on the consent agenda
today. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them. I think it is pretty simple.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you Mr. Whitaker. It has two conditions. Have you
reviewed those?
Roger Whitaker: I have.
Janice Anderson: Are they acceptable?
Roger Whitaker: Yes. Everything is acceptable.
Janice Anderson: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this matter being
placed on the consent agenda? The Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this for
us.
Eugene Crabtree: As Mr. Whitaker has said this is rather simple. The church has come
before us a number of times in the past years for things that we have approved and City
Council has approved various changes. In October 2004, there was one, August 2005,
August 2006, and all of these conditions and requirements that were put on the church at
that time still remain in effect. However, with this one, they just simply have a request to
enclose this picnic area in order to make it a classroom that they can use for the church
and expand their classroom uses. It does not impact on any parking. It doesn't impact on
any additional number of church membership or activity in the neighborhood. Therefore,
we thought it was a perfect item to be put on the consent agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Gene. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to
approve agenda item 10.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Victorious Living Church for a Conditional Use Permit for a
church on property located at 2180 McComas Way, Suite 113 (GPIN 2404977494).
DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a church to be located
within an office building. The office building consists of a number of suites in a
condominium form of ownership. The applicant's suite is located at the southeast
corner of the building.
■ Considerations:
The church has services and meetings on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00
p.m., Wednesday 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., Friday 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., and
Saturday 8:00 p.m. until 12:00 p.m. There are currently two church staff
members. The church's goal for the maximum number of individuals attending
Sunday morning services is 150.
The proposal to use this unit for a church is, as conditioned below, compatible
with the other uses within this office complex and will not negatively impact
neighboring properties. There are a total of 107 parking spaces located on this
site. The Zoning Ordinance requires 30 parking spaces if the church's anticipated
150 individuals attend a service. As always, the parking for a church use in any
retail or office complex peaks opposite of the retail or office uses. Staff
concludes, therefore, that sufficient parking is available to accommodate the
proposed use and the other tenants.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda, as they
concluded the proposed use will not conflict with the other tenants of the office
building and there was no opposition to the proposed use.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
Victorious Living Church
Page 2of2
The applicant shall comply with all applicable City requirements for building
codes, including fire safety and suppression, required for a change of use
from commercial to a place of assembly prior to the issuance of an
Occupancy Permit for this unit. This includes obtaining a Fire Inspection, a
Fire Code Permit, and a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official's
Office.
2. The number of congregants at any service shall not exceed the occupancy
number for the unit as established by the City's Fire Marshall.

Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 9. That is the application of Victorious
Living Church. It is for a Conditional Use Permit for a church on property located 2180
McComas Way, Suite 113, in the Princess Anne District. Welcome sir.
Rupert George: Thank you and good day. Thank you all the members. My name is
Rupert George. I am the Pastor of Victorious Living Church.
Janice Anderson: Pastor George? This has two conditions. Have you reviewed those
and are those acceptable?
Rupert George: Yes ma'am.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Rupert George: I just want to say real quickly. We are really looking forward to this
happening. We thank God for the privilege of being a resource to the community. Most
of our programs in ministry are outreach focus, so we plan on being a resource to the
community spiritually, socially, educationally and financially. So, we look forward to
this process.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Pastor George. I'm sure it will be an asset to the
community.
Rupert George: Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the
consent agenda? See none, the Chairman has asked Don Horsley to review this
application for us.
Donald Horsley: Okay. This Conditional Use Permit for a church in an office building is
something that happens quite often in our City. It appears that the hours of the church
and the hours of the surrounding businesses in the office do not coincide, so therefore,
parking will not be a problem. There should be adequate parking. So, we think that this
is a good use for that area, hearing no objections we put it on consent agenda.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM .
ITEM: Application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr. for a Conditional Use Permit for an
automobile repair garage on property located at 1128 Barrs Road (GPIN
1459700591). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site
for an automobile repair garage. The applicant currently operates his business on
Connie Lane and Connie Way. A street closure and conditional rezoning recently
approved at that location to allow development of a multi -family project
necessitates the need for the applicant to relocate. It is the applicant's desire to
relocate to the subject property, which has been in his family for over 70 years.
The site is located within Strategic Growth Area 1 — Northampton Boulevard
Corridor Area. The Plan's policies for Strategic Growth Area 1 recognize that this
area has evolved into a major employment center in South Hampton Roads with
exceptional transportation access that serves its corporate and industrial
clientele. A study has been undertaken jointly by the City of Virginia Beach, the
City of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Airport Authority to assess the potential
for comprehensive development of the area in which this rezoning request is
located. The study, known as The Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan
Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been approved by the City
Council. City staff is currently in the process of determining implementation
measures that will allow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for
this area to proceed. The draft study assemblage of land for high-intensity
development, specifically multi -story class A and B office Campus Park with
mixed uses to include flex/office, research and development, and light industrial
and retail.
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to construct an 8,000 -square foot building, 12 parking
spaces, landscaping, and a six-foot chain link fence enclosing the site. The
proposed building is a steel system building, 100 -feet in width by 80 -feet in
depth. The proposed height ranges from 12 -feet to 20 -feet.
While the proposed automobile repair facility would, at first glance, appear
consistent with the development policies established for Strategic Growth Area 1,
Willie Donald Martin, Jr.
Page 2 of 3
a continuation of uncoordinated development efforts such as this are not
consistent with the City's long-term vision and strategy for making this area an
important and evolving office / industrial park. Unlike any of the other office -
industrial parks in the city, the Airport Industrial Park is served by excellent
Interstate and arterial highway access and a key railroad link that provides
access to major external markets located in the region, state, and nation. The
pending Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan /Airport Industrial Park
Expansion Plan for this office / industrial park corridor does not support the
uncoordinated singular land use efforts that are starting to emerge in this office
park.
Additionally, the applicant has several other hurdles to overcome. First, the
applicant must obtain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to
construct the building on the site. Second, the applicant must work with the Fire
Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of Planning to install the
required fire protection systems for the proposed use. Finally, the site is not
served by public water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over
a half -mile away in Burton Station Road.
Staff cannot support this application at this time due to these outstanding issues,
and recommends indefinite deferral, providing the applicant an opportunity to
address the obstacles above and staff time to finalize implementation strategies
for Strategic Growth Area 1.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall file the "Notice of Proposed Construction", Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1 as required by Federal
Aviation Regulation Part 77 with regard to development in the Runway
Protection Zone of Norfolk International Airport. A copy of the FAA
approval shall be submitted to the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department before any site development and building construction plans
are accepted for review.
2. If approved by the FAA, the site shall be developed substantially in
accordance with the submitted "BOUNDARY AND PARTIAL
TOPOGRAPHIC SUREVEY OF 1128 BARRS ROAD — SITE 12,
CORNICK FOARM — 2.71 ACRES for WILLIE MARTIN", prepared by East
Coast Hydrographic Surveyors and Consultants, and dated 9/12//06,
unless modification to the plan is required by the FAA approval. Said plan
has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the
Planning Department.
Willie Donald Martin, Jr.
Page 3of3
3. If approved by the FAA, the proposed building shall substantially conform
to the General Steel Corporation Building Systems elevations submitted
with the request. The sides and rear of the building may be steel building
system. The front of the building shall be a combination of block and steel
as depicted on the elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the Planning Department.
4. The applicant shall work with the Virginia Beach Fire Department and the
Permits and Inspections Division of the Department of Planning to obtain
approval for the required fire protection systems.
5. Any proposed fencing around the building or site shall meet the
requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance Landscape Screening and
Buffering regulations.
6. All parking shall meet the dimensional requirements of the City Zoning
Ordinance parking regulations.
7. All automotive repairs shall take place inside -the building.
8. There shall be no outside storage of vehicles in a state of obvious
disrepair. If vehicles in this condition require storage, then such vehicles
shall be stored within the building. There shall be no outside storage of
equipment, parts, or materials.
9. A Lighting Plan and / or Photometric Diagram Plan shall be submitted
during detailed site plan review. The plan shall include the location of all
pole mounted and building mounted lighting fixtures, and the listing of
lamp type, wattage, and type of fixture. Lighting shall overlap and be
uniform throughout the parking area. The plan shall also include
provisions for implementing low-level security lighting for non -business
hours.

on the north, and comprises approximately 400 acres. The study, known as The Northampton
Boulevard Corridor Master Plan Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been approved

of Norfolk International Airport. The applicant has filed the Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration with the FAA as requied.
• The applicant must work with the Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of
Planning to install the required fire protection systems for the proposed use, as there is no public
water service at this loctaion. The applicant met with Fire Department Officials on-site to
determine a method for fire protection.
• The site is not served by public water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over a
half -mile away in Burton Station Road. This issue is not yet resolved.

WATER and SEWER: City water and sewer are not available to the site. Health Department approval is
required for the use of a private well and septic system.
FIRE: The Uniform Statewide Fire Prevention Code requires an approved water supply capable of supplying
the required water flow for fire protection be provided to the premises upon which the facilities, buildings or
portions of buildings are constructed (Section 508.1). The closest approved water supply is a fire hydrant in
front of 5805 Burton Station Road. It is located over 3,000 -feet from the proposed automotive repair facility,
which is well over the maximum travel distance of 400 -feet for commercial buildings. Based upon this the Fire
Department does not recommend approval of the request.
STORMWATER: The referenced project must develop a stormwater management plan for water quantity and
quality in accordance with the Public Works Specifications and Standards. The Preliminary Site and
Landscape Plan do not show a stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) for the proposed request. It
should be recognized that approval of this plan does not permit the exclusion of installing and adequately
sizing a BMP for the site. If including a BMP impacts the proposed plan, the plan may be required to be
resubmitted for revision approval. The project will need to identify adequate offsite receiving drainage systems.
The proposed stormwater management plan must be designed in accordance with the Virginia Pollution
Discharge Elimination System Permit. The operations of the proposed facility must not impact the water quality
of the downstream receiving storm drain systems. This property is located within a City of Norfolk watershed
area and thus may be forward to the City of Norfolk for their stormwater review.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff cannot recommend approval
of this application at this time. An indefinite deferral is in order.
Comprehensive Plan:
The site is located within Strategic Growth Area 1 — Northampton Boulevard Corridor Area. The Plan's
policies for Strategic Growth Area 1 recognize that this area has evolved into a major employment center
in South Hampton Roads with exceptional transportation access that serves its corporate and industrial
clientele. Proposals located near Norfolk International Airport must meet or exceed local, state, and
federal aviation regulatory requirements as they apply to the proposed use, height, and stormwater
management facility design.
WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR.
Agenda Item 26

Evaluation:
Staff recommends deferral of this request. A study has been undertaken jointly by the City of Virginia
Beach, the City of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Airport Authority to assess the potential for comprehensive
development of the area in which this rezoning request is located. The study area is bound by Lake
Wright on the west, Northampton Boulevard on the south, Baker Road on the east, and Norfolk
International Airport on the north, and comprises approximately 400 acres. The study, known as The
Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been
approved by the City Council. City staff is currently in the process of determining implementation
measures that will allow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area to proceed. The
draft study assemblage of land for high-intensity development, specifically multi -story class A and B office
Campus Park with mixed uses to include flex/office, research and development, and light industrial and
retail.
While the proposed automobile repair facility would, at first glance, appear consistent with the
development policies established for Strategic Growth Area 1, it is unclear how, in the long-term, a
continuation of uncoordinated development efforts such as this will match up with the City's long-term
vision and strategy for making this an important and evolving office / industrial park. Unlike any of the
other office -industrial parks in the city, the Airport Industrial Park is served by excellent Interstate and
arterial highway access and a key railroad link that provides access to major external markets located in
the region, state, and nation. The pending Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan / Airport
Industrial Park Expansion Plan for this office / industrial park corridor does not support the uncoordinated
singular land use efforts that are starting to emerge in this office park.
Additionally, the applicant has several other hurdles to overcome. First, the applicant must obtain
approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to construct the building on the site. Second, the
applicant must work with the Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of Planning to
install the required fire protection systems for the proposed use. Finally, the site is not served by public
water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over a half -mile away in Burton Station Road.
In sum, Staff cannot support this application at this time due to these outstanding issues, and
recommends continued indefinite deferral, providing the applicant an opportunity to address the obstacles
above and staff time to finalize implementation strategies for Strategic Growth Area 1. If those obstacles
cannot be overcome, the application should be denied.
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 and Standards.
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.

Virginia Beach, VA 23456
RE: Proposed Conditional Use Permit Request for Willie Donald Martin, Jr., on
Property Located at 1128 Barrs Road, Virginia Beach
Members of the Planning Commission:
On behalf of the Norfolk Airport Authority, owner of property and a neighbor
interested in the overall development of the Burton Station area of Virginia Beach, I
offer the following comments regarding the subject application:
It is our understanding that the property Is subject to all zoning
requirements applicable to "height regulations" and, specifically, the
Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 (FAR Part 77). This federal
regulation requires the owner of the property to file the applicable "Notice
of Proposed Construction" (FAA Form 7460-1) with the Eastern Region of
the Federal Aviation Administration. The Airport Authority is not in a
position to render any opinion regarding the determination of height
restrictions in the Runway Protection Zone (previously clear zone) or other
applicable surfaces in the vicinity of the Airport. Those determinations
can only be made by the FAA.
2. The property is also subject to an easement applicable to the Airport
which was granted by the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach on
March 24, 1967 and is recorded in Deed Book 1000. Page 104.
3 The Airport Authority would prefer to see this property developed in
keeping with an overall plan approved by the City of Virginia Beach for the
entire Burton Station area rather than in a piecemeal manner that appears
to be occurring. Our Authority has supported a number of studies
undertaken by the City of Virginia Beach to determine the best approach
AIRPORT AUTHORITY LETTER
WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR.
Agenda Item 26
Page 11
Nle;'-ULK Hlh,'NI} HUH raIj: May 'l) Arlt 14.:JY. U2
to coordinating the development of this critical area of the City. Without
such a comprehensive plan for the orderly development of the subject
area, the City will face a potential hodgepodge of development through
piecemeal zoning.
The Airport Authority urges the Planning Commission to deny the subject
application and actively pursue the preparation of an aggressive comprehensive
development plan for the entire Burton Station and surrounding area. The Authority is
prepared to continue its support of that effort.
We appreciate being advised of this matter and for the opportunity to provide our
comments. Please advise if you have any questions or if we can be of further
assistance.
Sincerely.

Conditional Use Permit
1128 Barrs Road
District 4
Bayside
September 12, 2007
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 26, Willie Donald Martin, Jr. An application of
Willie Donald Martin, Jr., for a Conditional Use Permit for an automotive repair garage
on property located at 1128 Barrs Road, District 4, Bayside.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am.
Joyce K. Martin: Good afternoon to the Planning Commission and staff members as
well. My name is Joyce Keeling Martin, and I've read the conditions that have been
handed to me today, and they are in compliance and right in alignment with what we
have received previously. The only thing that I have to address is that I did send the
application to the Federal Aviation Administration, and I sent that by certified mail. I do
have a signature and a receipt copy here, but I haven't received anything from them. My
only concern is how long it will take them to approve it, because I'm ready to move on.
This property has been in our family for I would say for 100 years or so or close to it.
We actively anticipating seeing our elder son, Willie Jr., continue to be an economic asset
in the City of Virginia Beach, where he has been operating for seven years in the auto
body and paint business. And, with the FAA and any time possible, I'll have to add that,
I will make all efforts to get that process and speed it up since those conditions 1 and 3
are directed in that direction.
Barry Knight: Do you have anything to add Ms. Martin?
Joyce K. Martin: Well, as I look at the conditions, and as I have already fore stated to
some of the staff planners, item 4, I think was a standout in the original submission for
the request for the Conditional Use Permit. And, in modern day technology, they no
longer have a requirement for access to fire hydrant to provide water. Because the auto
body and paint industry now, they use what they call an "industrial automatic fire
suppression system", and my son basically explained it to me, since he has been doing it
now for, I guess since he was about 15 or 16 years old and involved with the vocational
program out of high school; so, he's been pretty much knowledgeable having to work for
other persons who utilize this concept because it has the capability of doing more than
watering things down. And, then in combination with that, we also have to meet the
requirements of OSHA, as well as the EPA requirements, being that the type of work that
we're doing in utilization of the product lines that we use with paints and polymers we
use today, we have to meet certain requirements to protect the environment as such. We
are doing a lot of that right now in our present operation. And, we know of the fact that
Item #26
Willie Donald Martin, Jr.
Page 2
we will be submitting a request to the Health Department of Virginia Beach to reactivate,
which is already on the premises, a septic tank system as well as well water.
Barry Knight: Do you have anything to add Ms. Martin?
Joyce K. Martin: I have a lot to add, but I've been with you all day. I've enjoyed your
presence, and I wanted an opportunity to get up here and share, believe you me, because
I've waited along time for this.
Barry Knight: It might be appropriate. I don't believe we have any opposition.
Joseph Strange: Do you have anyone else in support?
Joyce K. Martin: All of them had to leave, unfortunately, because they had other
commitments which they had to address.
Barry Knight: Now would probably be a good time to ask Ms. Martin any questions?
Mr. Redmond?
David Redmond: Mrs. Martin, how long have you been in this kind of line of work?
Joyce K. Martin: Well, my son has been on his own now for 7 years going into 8, and all
of his operations have been in the City of Virginia Beach. Being that he has poured some
monies back into the economic climate of Virginia Beach, and he employs persons in the
City of Virginia Beach, as well as for a long range plan, we're looking at providing a
benefit that was afforded him in high school, and that is to provide a summer work
program, as well as apprenticeship avenues for young men and women who desire to
enter into this occupation as well, because it worked so well for him. My desire was that
he would go to college and do something else but he fell in love with this when he took it
as a vocation in high school. And, as I aforementioned, this property, where it is situated,
has been in our family for some 90 something years or 100 years, if you go back and
being very accurate and trying to go back and streamline the process.
David Redmond: This is your principal means of support, this business?
Joyce K. Martin: Yes it is. It is supports my son, his wife and his daughters.
David Redmond: Thank you.
Joyce K. Martin: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Whitney, I think I see which way this may be going. I note there are
no conditions on here or the conditions will be applied at site plan review? Maybe I
missed them. Excuse me.
David Redmond: Faith seemed to have disappeared.
Item #26
Willie Donald Martin, Jr.

Barry Knight: No, she is there.
David Redmond: Oh there she is. She is right behind Stephen. Okay. She has got a copy
of that and she has handed it out.
Barry Knight: You gave me too many pieces of paper today. Mr. Redmond, you have
looked at the conditions?
David Redmond: Yes. I've looked at the conditions, and unless Mrs. Martin has an
objection to them, they seem appropriate to me. My view is that they owned this
property, and I think Ms. Christie said since 1912. That would be 95 years. We have
been developing a plan for this corridor for also about 95 years. I don't mean to be a
smart aleck, but I think it is time that they had the opportunity to make the most
productive use of this land that they can, unless there is some compelling reason why
they shouldn't, and I can't find any compelling reason why they shouldn't. The staff s
recommendations for a deferral not withstanding, and so, I understand, and I heard in the
informal this morning from the gentleman from Economic Development who said that we
continue to work on this plan. My fear is that we could be, and as he indicated, five years
from now, still be working on the plan, and still have this family and a number of other
families in limbo. I don't think it is fair to them to leave them in limbo. This is a
concrete proposal. What they are proposing is not substantially different from what they
are able to do by -right with the current zoning that they have. It just seems to me a
fundamental issue of fairness that they be able to do that. So, at the appropriate time, I'm
going to make a motion that we approve their application.
Barry Knight: I'll get Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. I understand your point David, and it is well thought of,
and you brought up a lot of issues. But, I just can't support it, mainly because of the
commitment that Economic Development is making towards this area. I would have to
go along with the recommendation of the Planning staff for a deferral on any use that
requires a Conditional Use Permit to be issued on the property. I would just have to defer
it until the Master Plan comes out. Economic Development can give you a time when it is
gong to be and actually put into place. But they are committed to it, and there seems to
be some issues with the Norfolk Airport Authority, which haven't been worked out quite
yet. So, I would take the position for a deferral.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree and then Mr. Livas.
Eugene Crabtree: I agree with David that this has gone on for years. And, we have
penalized the people for not using their property over these current years. We don't
know how long it will take Economic Development people to get a plan that is agreeable
between the City of Virginia Beach and Norfolk and the airport all three. So, my position
is to support it and let them go ahead with their business. And when, and if, this plan
Item #26
Willie Donald Martin, Jr.
Page 4
comes about between the three cities, then we will address to what happens to their
property at that time.
Barry Knight: Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: Yes. I want to state that I support the project too, and we are talking about
our staff's recommendations. They indicated they wouldn't approve it, and this is
because they're waiting on the Economic Development report along with the City of
Norfolk and the City of Virginia Beach. In my notes here, it says that is not a real reason
not to approve something because we're waiting on studies. And, as he has stated, those
studies could take five or ten more years; so, I'm of the inclination to go ahead and
support the project, and I agree with David.
Barry Knight: Mr. Redmond?
David Redmond: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we approve the application of
Willie Donald Martin, Jr., agenda item 26 with the nine conditions that were provided by
staff.
Barry Knight: Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve agenda item 26, Willie Donald
Martin, Jr., made by Dave Redmond and seconded by Henry Livas. Is there any
discussion? I'll call for the question.
Ed Weeden: By a vote of 9-2, the application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr. has been
approved.

CUP for Indoor Recreational Facility
GN
Stu �t z!
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit
for an indoor recreation facility on property located at the southeast intersection
of Holland Road and Warwick Drive (GPIN 1495086742). DISTRICT 6 — BEACH.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site
for an indoor recreational facility within a structure of 115,000 square feet. The
site is zoned B-2 Community Business, allowing a variety of by -right retail
commercial and related uses.
The currently undeveloped site is located in a Primary Residential Area, as
designated by the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan recognizes the importance of
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic
quality of the stable neighborhoods in the Primary Residential Area.
Development adjacent to stable neighborhoods should generally try to reinforce
rather than change the positive character of neighborhoods.
■ Considerations:
This is a proposal for a year-round, multi -sport facility consisting of playing fields
for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and flag football. Also proposed within the
building are a locker room, a party room, and a small gym. A limited amount of
bleachers will be provided surrounding the fields, which is typically used by family
members watching their parents or siblings play. The facility is geared towards
the athlete rather than the spectator.
The site plan depicts a 35 -foot high building located in the middle of the property
with parking on both sides. The bottom portion of the structure will have aqua
color split -face block and beige to gray horizontal metal panels above. A
translucent light band is shown at the top of the walls, just under the roof, in lieu
of sky lights in the roof, to provide natural light into the building. The main,
covered entrance will face Holland Road.
The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for every 100 square feet of floor
area, which results in 1,103 spaces for this proposal. The applicant has indicated
that this number is well beyond their needs and is requesting that the parking
requirement be reduced to 464 spaces. The structure is proposed 60 feet from
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 4
the eastem property line, the property line adjacent to the Scarborough Square
neighborhood. Category IV buffering is proposed along this property line behind
existing residential dwellings. The landscaping transitions to streetscape
landscaping as it fronts Old Clubhouse Road. Landscaping beyond the minimum
standards is depicted on the plan. A dumpster is depicted behind the building,
and Staff is recommending a condition to relocate it away from the residential
dwellings.
The City has consulted with industry -experts Brailsford & Dunleavy to study the
need for and marketability of an indoor sports facility such as this. The general
conclusion of the study indicated that there is a need for such a facility similar to
the size, type and scale of the applicant's proposal. The study does indicate that
the facility may be most successful if it were located within the athletic village of
the City's Princess Anne Commons area in order to take advantage of the
proximity to supporting amenities. The applicant has met with the Parks and
Recreation Department staff and is aware of the findings of the report.
Staffs conclusion is that the proposed use will generate far less traffic than a
typical by -right use, such as a shopping center and will be more compatible to
the neighborhood than most by -right B-2 projects. In addition, the indoor
recreation facility is an accepted and compatible use within the AICUZ, and the
plan depicts landscape material well beyond the minimum requirements.
Further, Staff is confident that the limitations and conditions recommended below
ensure that the proposed use will be acceptable and compatible.
There was opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The development of the property shall be in substantial conformance with the
plan entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoors Sports Complex Preliminary Site Plan,"
prepared by The Spectra Group, dated June 29, 2007, which has been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning
Department.
2. The final landscape plan shall reflect the landscape material depicted on the
plan entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoors Sports Complex Preliminary Site Plan,"
prepared by The Spectra Group, dated June 29, 2007, and all other
applicable landscape requirements. Said landscaping shall be submitted to
the Development Services Center of the Planning Department with the final
site plan.
3. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) shall be submitted with the final site plan. This
study must be approved by the Public Work's Traffic Engineering Division and
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 3 of 4
any recommendations of the TIS must be reflected on the final site plan prior
to approval of the final site plan by the Planning Department / Development
Services Center.
4. The Public Works Traffic Engineering Division must approve locations of any
and all vehicular ingress/egress points as well as the number of
ingress/egress points prior to final site plan approval noted above.
5. HVAC equipment shall be located adjacent to the building along the southern
facade, at least 200 feet from the eastern property line. All HVAC equipment
shall be caged and screened with evergreen shrubs so as to be unobtrusive
from the right-of-way. The location of said equipment and screening shall be
depicted on the final site plan.
6. Any dumpster or trash receptacle shall be located no closer than 100 feet
from the eastern property line.
7. A Photometric (Lighting) Plan shall be submitted for review and approval with
the final site plan submission to the Development Services Center. Such
lighting plan is to include height of poles located within the parking lot, as well
as the location of all pole -mounted and building -mounted lighting
fixtures. Illuminating Engineering Society of North America light standards
shall be used.
8. A full engineering hydraulic analysis of Pump Station Number 548, as
deemed necessary by the City of Virginia Beach Department of Public
Utilities, shall be conducted and reported to the Development Services Center
during final site plan review to ensure flows from this proposal can be
accommodated.
9. Any freestanding signage, other than directional signs, shall be limited to a
monument style sign, no taller than eight (8) feet in height, without movable
copy, and constructed with materials and color scheme that match the
exterior of the main structure.
10.Building mounted signage shall be limited to the comers of the structure as
depicted on the elevation entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoor Sports Complex,"
prepared by the firm baskervill, and shall not exceed 15 percent of the length
or height of the facade. The use of neon or other signage inside any of the
building's fenestration or windows shall be prohibited.
11.A solid fence shall be installed where appropriate, in combination with
Category IV landscaping, along the eastern property line in order to shield
motor vehicle headlights from view. It is understood that the height of the
fence will vary between four (4) feet and six (6) feet in order to meet the
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.

from the eastern property line, the property line adjacent to the Scarborough Square neighborhood.
Category IV buffering is proposed along this property line behind existing residential dwellings. The
landscaping transitions to streetscape landscaping as it fronts Old Clubhouse Road. Landscaping
beyond the minimum standards is depicted on the plan. A dumpster is depicted behind the building, and
Staff is recommending a condition to relocate it away from the residential dwellings.
The elevation depicts a one (1) -story structure, no higher than 35 feet, with a standing -seam metal roof.
The bottom portion of the structure will have aqua color split -face block and beige to gray horizontal metal
panels above. A translucent light band is shown at the top of the walls, just under the roof, in lieu of sky
lights in the roof, to provide natural light into the building. The main, covered entrance will face Holland
Road.

LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION
EXISTING LAND USE: wooded site
SURROUNDING LAND North: . Warwick Drive, vacant woods / B-2 Community Business
USE AND ZONING: District
South: . Apartments / A-18 Apartment District
East: . Townhouses, duplexes / A-18 Apartment District, R -5D Duplex
District
West: . Holland Road, townhouses / PD -H1 District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is predominately wooded. Older growth trees exist along the
CULTURAL FEATURES: east property line; however, these are slated for removal. Other than the
trees, there does not appear to be any significant environmental or
cultural resources on the property.
AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of 70-75 dB Ldn and a small portion in APZ-2
surrounding NAS Oceana. After clarification of the exact nature of the
proposed use as an indoor recreation facility, the application was
determined to be compatible within this AICUZ by both the City and
Navy representatives.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): This
section of Holland Road is shown on the Master Transportation Map for improvements on a 130 foot
right-of-way. These improvements are proposed as part of CIP 2-008, Holland Road Phase VII. This
project is currently shown as "not funded / inactive" in the CIP.
The Public Works signalized intersection analysis report from 2006 shows that the Holland Road and
Warwick Road intersection has a peak hour volume to capacity ratio of 0.81, which indicates that this
signalized intersection currently operates at acceptable levels.

WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an eight (8) -inch City water main in Warwick Drive, a
six (6) -inch City water main in Old Clubhouse Road, and a 16 -inch City water main in Holland Road.
SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an eight (8) -inch gravity sanitary sewer main
in Warwick Drive and an eight (8) -inch gravity sanitary sewer in Old Clubhouse Road. Pump station #548 is
the receiving station for this site. This station has capacity issues and may require system modification. As
such, a full engineering hydraulic analysis will be required during final site plan review.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
This site is located in a Primary Residential Area. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable
neighborhoods in the Primary Residential Area. Development adjacent to stable neighborhoods should
generally try to reinforce rather than change the positive character of neighborhoods. The Plan states
that: "Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services to residential
neighborhoods may be considered acceptable uses on the edge of established neighborhoods provided
effective measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-proliferation of such activities." In general
terms, this means that the established type, size and relationship of land uses, both residential and non-
residential, in and around neighborhood areas should serve as the guide when considering future
development proposals (page 89).
Evaluation:
The applicant has worked closely with Staff in order to develop a site layout that eliminates any negative
impacts to the surrounding property owners, particularly the residential neighborhood to the east. As the
site is heavily wooded, the loss of almost 10 acres of trees will be visually dramatic. Understanding this,
Staff is recommending the below conditions to further improve the proposal. These conditions address
lighting, noise, landscaping, aesthetics, signage and quality of life issues. When originally submitted, the
plan depicted a different layout and more than 600 parking spaces. That initial plan proposed parking
behind the structure, closer to the existing residences, and depicted a larger building. The applicant has
been very open to suggestions for improvement in order to present the best plan possible.
In addition to playing fields, there will be locker rooms, a party room, and a small gym. A limited amount of
bleachers will be provided surrounding the fields. According to the applicant, this seating is typically used
by family members watching their parents or siblings play. The facility is geared towards the athlete rather
than the spectator and as such, was deemed compatible with the AICUZ.
The City has consulted with industry -experts Brailsford & Dunleavy to study the need for and marketability
of an indoor sports facility such as this. The general conclusion of the study indicated that there is a need
for such a facility similar to the size, type and scale of the applicant's proposal. The study does indicate
that the facility may be most successful if it were located within the athletic village of the City's Princess
Anne Commons area in order to take advantage of the proximity to supporting amenities. The applicant
has met with the Parks and Recreation Department staff and is aware of the findings of the report.
Staffs position is the proposed use will generate far less traffic than a typical by -right use, such as a
shopping center and will be more compatible to the neighborhood than most unconditional B-2 projects.
RAPPAHANNOCK
Agenda Item 15
Page 3
In addition, the indoor recreation facility is an accepted and compatible use within the AICUZ, and the
plan depicts landscape material well beyond the minimum requirements. Further, Staff is confident that
the limitations and conditions recommended below ensure that the proposed use will be acceptable and
compatible.

Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Conditional Use Permit
Southeast intersection of Holland Road and Warwick Drive
District 6
Beach
September 12, 2007
REGULAR
Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, the next item to be heard.
Joseph Strange: The next item to be heard is item 15, Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. An
application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor
recreation facility on property located at the southeast intersection of Holland Road and
Warwick Boulevard, District 6, Beach, with 11 conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome back Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. Again, for the record, Eddie Bourdon,
Virginia Beach attorney, representing the applicant. Two of the principals of the
applicant have come down today and are here, both Tom and John Wack. I apologize. I
have a couple of handouts and if you all can share. A lot of the information is going to be
on the PowerPoint but there are a few bits of information in these handouts that are not,
and I'll go over some of the information, and I'll pass these around.
David Redmond: Thank you sir.
Eddie Bourdon: The application is one for a Conditional Use Permit. It is for a proposed
Virginia Beach Indoor Sports Complex. The land itself, which is the subject of the
application, is on the east side of Holland Road at the intersection with Warwick Drive.
It is a 10 '/z acre parcel of land that is zoned unconditional B-2 General Commercial
Zoning District. This is not a rezoning of that commercially zoned property. It is a Use
Permit for an indoor sports complex. The proposal is one that involves a use that the city
very, very, very desperately needs. We have a number of groups and organizations who
are supportive of this request. We did not impinge upon their time to have them all come
out today. They are planning on coming to the City Council hearing on this application.
The facility is one for indoor recreation. It is not a spectator facility. It is a number of
fields, you see what I passed around, it is actually on the PowerPoint, shows the interior
of the facility. It is all indoors. It has indoor recreation fields, larger and small. It is not
like an outdoor field. They are still smaller than that. You're typical game on one of
these fields is going to involve 12 to potentially 16 participants. The sports that are the
primary utilization of these fields are indoor soccer, indoor field hockey, indoor flag
football, and indoor lacrosse, and lacrosse is an activity that is gaining a great deal of
popularity in this area. The use of the facility is 55 percent adult or will be 55 percent
adults, 45 percent youth. There are leagues that use these facilities there are adult
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 2
leagues, year round adult leagues and seasonal adult leagues as well as youth leagues.
Obviously the primary time of the year when this facility will be utilized is during the
cooler weather months, and the winter months, November through March but it is a year
round facility. The peek times that this facility would be used are in the afternoon and
evenings during the weekdays basically from 4:00 in the afternoon until 10:00 and on
weekends pretty much all day 10:00 o'clock until 10:00 o'clock. If you go back to the
site plan, what we have done is that we have designed the facility so that it is centered on
the property. We have proposed one access point with a right -in, right -out on Holland
Road. We got a signalized intersection at Warwick Drive, and again, one access on
Warwick Drive to the facility roughly half way back from the property itself. We set the
building from the rear property line, 60 feet in. The height of the building to the eave is
331/2feet and to the peak of the roof is 35 feet. Obviously it is a pretty flat roof. There is
a little bit of slope there. The parking that we have provided is actually 464 parking
spaces depicted on the plan. Based on their experience, based on the number, again this
is not a spectator facility. This is for participants. You will have some family members
that will come and watch and for that purpose there are some minimal, like three or four
rows of bleachers, but you don't have any real spectators other than family members
there. But the parking that is depicted far exceeds the need at the reduced amount that is
shown, far exceeds what the history of the similar facilities will be. We do not project at
any point in time to have more than 400 people in the facility, which the provision for
464 parking spaces clearly exceeds what we're going to have in terms of people in the
facility. The most optimistic of scenarios, you might have more than 400 but not very
many more than 400. By contrast, a shopping center use on the property would involve a
shopping center potentially being built without anybody's approval, 15 feet from the
eastern property line, the access to the shopping center of this size is more likely going to
be greater but certainly not less than what is shown here. I would point out that we will
doing a traffic impact study to ascertain, if this is approved, with the site plan approval,
whether a turn lane other than on Holland Road where there is another lane is possibly
necessary on Warwick Drive or any other potential improvements that traffic may
deemed necessary on the impact study but based on, as your staff has pointed out, if it
were developed as it is currently zoned for, which we are not changing the zoning but as
a commercial site you would actually have a far greater number of trips per day then the
exaggerated number of trips per day. I don't mean intentionally, but this type of facility
there aren't a huge number of them. My clients have the benefit of operating one in
Fredericksburg and they keep very meticulous numbers on the people who come to the
facility, and so they are able to, and we believe, accurately project the usership of this
property, and the traffic that it would generate. We worked closely with staff on this
application. We have absolutely no disagreement with any of the conditions that have
recommended, with condition #5 on HVAC being revised, as you believe have to 150
feet back from the property. The HVAC will be screened and buffered. We can put it on
the roof or we can put on the ground, either one. We also agree to move the dumpster per
the condition that is shown on the site plan. The dumpster is actually depicted on the
back and that will be moved per the condition. This is where it is shown (point to
PowerPoint) but that dumpster will be moved up in this area here, and will be totally
screened and enclosed. There is a solid fence proposed along the rear property line or the
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 3
eastern property line. In this area it would be four foot high fence because of the
presence of Clubhouse Road with the Leland cypress of whatever trees that will be
planted in the row behind it. In this area of the these single family homes, the fence
would be able to be a six foot high fence versus a four foot high fence, again, all of the
landscaped area to the west of that. The issue, I assume, and I did meet with the civic
league. Frankly, the only comments that I received at that meeting were actually positive
comments but there wasn't a whole lot said. Traffic is the issue. We're reducing traffic
with this application versus what can be done on the property by -right. There is really no
morning peek issue at all. The only traffic that's of any consequence that would have any
affect on anyone would be p.m. peek traffic, and again, it is a far lesser use than the
commercial use that the property is zoned for, although this is a form of a commercial
use. It is in the highest noise zone. And it is in APZ2. Because it is not a spectator
facility, it is perfectly acceptable under the OPNAV and AICUZ and JLUS provision in
our Zoning Ordinance because of the type of the larger on a much large piece of property,
the gym that was approved for the church earlier, similar even though it is not an APZ2,
similar high noise zone, similar type use just on a larger scale. Again, the conditions are
all acceptable. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon at this time? Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: Eddie, the back into the neighborhood. There is no parking up to that
fence right? Is that green space?
Eddie Bourdon: That is all green space Ms. Anderson. From this point back (pointing to
PowerPoint) is all green space. And actually on the ends, it is a little bit more than 60
feet of green space. And this obviously will go away with the relocation of the dumpster,
which is Condition 4 or 6, I believe, in to this area here. The HVAC would be located
towards Holland Road in front of where the dumpster would be or it can be on the roof,
either one.
Janice Anderson: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: It will all be moved forward.
Janice Anderson: Can you just tell me how this facility works? Do people become
individual members? Or like you said, there are groups. Do the groups become
members? How does it work?
Eddie Bourdon: The reality is that you have leagues that are primarily year round
leagues for adults. You have some teams that will rent space and utilize the fields for
practice especially during the bad months. But you are a member if you're on a team or
you can become a member and get on a team but it is basically team oriented. It is not
individually oriented use. It is teams that compete in these different sports or practice
those particular sports as a group or as a team.

Eddie Bourdon: It is plexi -glass. It keeps balls from going over to the adjacent field. It
is a significantly sized facility but when you're talking about playing games with lacrosse
balls or soccer balls, it would disruptive of any type of continuity to the game to have
balls flying across the field from the field next door. That is the purpose for the walls. I
mean indoor soccer, which I have, a greater familiarity with, and you actually play the
ball off the wall. It is part of the game is to play the ball off the wall.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Then the hours would be 10:00 o'clock.
Eddie Bourdon: No. 10:00 o'clock is the end of the peek. There are leagues that will go
in and will use the facility. They will have practice after 10:00 but 10:00 o'clock and
when you look at the numbers of people that are in the facility after 10:00 o'clock, it
drops from 150 to 160 total down into the 60 to 80 range, and then drops off, obviously
midnight, which you don't have in any people to speak of.
Janice Anderson: So is it open 24 -hours?
Eddie Bourdon: No. It is not open 24 -hours a day. It will depend. During the winter
months when there is a tremendous demand because teams can't practice outside and we
don't have the facilities to practice, during the winter months it is certainly conceivable
that you may have people in there practicing even after midnight to say 1:00 o'clock in
the morning. It is not beyond the realm of possibility. But it is all inside. There is
nothing going on outside other than people parking their cars and getting out and going
in. There are no outside activities. There is no one washing their cars, no one pumping
gas. There is nothing happening outside other than getting into the facility and out of the
facility.
Janice Anderson: Okay.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: Eddie, I noticed that King's Daughters owns the property.
Eddie Bourdon: Yes sir.
Eugene Crabtree: Have they pursued somewhere in the past other endeavors for this
piece of property?
Eddie Bourdon: The property was acquired by them for the purpose of developing a
medical complex, and my understanding of this is with the Sentara/Princess Anne
Commons Project, they were prevailed upon to put their assets into that project.

Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Bourdon? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you very much.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Lyn Henry.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Please state your name for the record.
Lyn Henry: Thank you. My name is Lyn Henry. I am a concerned member of the
Scarborough Civic League. I had prepared a whole thing to speak of but after hearing
Hunt Club, and everything that has gone on this morning, so I'm just going to speak. We
just recently won the Raceco issue. And based on that, we are still concerned about this
project. The entrance onto Warwick Drive, I understand there was a car counter there. I
called and spoke with Public Works this morning. They could not give me the totals for
that yet. We are very interested in seeing what they came up with as far as the traffic on
Warwick Drive. It is already a very busy street. It is our only entrance to our
neighborhood. It is our only exit to our neighborhood. Now there are short cuts through
Cardinal Estates but those all go out to Shipp's Corner, and that is a high traffic area too,
without an outdoor Sportsplex and the Moose Lodge getting ready to open on Shipp's
Corner. We have bus stops in the area of the general vicinity of this place. Our traffic
concerns, our trees are going to be gone. They are going to demo everything, all of the
trees on this beautiful lot, and nothing but this building and parking spaces. We have real
concerns about this. We actually got to speak to the Rappahannock representative one
time. We were a little pre -occupied at the time because we had something bigger on our
plate that was coming in front of City Council. We would like, I guess rather than
oppose it, we would like a deferral so we can get some more information and maybe
work a little closer with them on this project. Please take the time to consider this
because it is going to be in our front yard. I mean our main entrance is right there. We're
going to have to pass it every day to and from our homes. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Henry? Ms. Henry, when you're looking
for a deferral for more information, do you have any questions right now that you need
answered or do you know of any questions?
Lyn Henry: We would like to sit down as a civic league and ask the questions. We
downloaded the agenda item off the internet and not all of us have had to time to look at
that. There have been some revisions to what we were originally proposed or what we
were presented with at the civic league meeting. There are a huge number of questions
we would like to ask.
Barry Knight: Mr. Livas and then Mr. Bemas.
Henry Livas: Did you ask some of those questions at the meeting that you had?
Lyn Henry: We did.
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 6
Henry Livas: Were they responsive?
Lyn Henry: To a point. But at that time, our big priority was a different issue and that is
what we were focusing on. Mr. Bourdon represented both issues. At that time, our
biggest issue was the Raceco and getting through that situation. This was secondary at
the time because we have one meeting a month, and the next City Council meeting was
coming up quick on us.
Barry Knight: Mr. Berms?
Jay Bernas: So, just in general, are you concerned about the use that it is an indoor
recreation facility that I would think the young teenagers and the young families would
possibly want to utilize it.
Lyn Henry: If you're part of a league, which we're concerned about it. We are a
moderate family income neighborhood and we're afraid that this place is going to be
priced out of our means that we're not going to be able to have access to it. It is not
going to be like a recreation center like Bow Creek Recreation Center. You have to be
part of a league to be able to even participate and to use this facility. So, anyone of our
children in our neighborhood could not go and use one of the courts or one of the fields.
It is not going to be like that. It is not going to be an open door recreation type center.
You have to be a member of a league and that is part of our concern, the financial aspect
of it.
Barry Knight: Do you a question for Ms. Henry? Okay. Thank you ma'am.
Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Inez Gilles.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. You can tell us your name.
Inez Gilles: Good afternoon Council. My name is Inez Gilles. My concern is the traffic
that is going to come at the entrance of Warwick Drive, just Warwick Drive. And, the
times, and he said something about 10 to 10. The school buses, you know they come, you
know what I'm saying, between that time. And you got kindergarteners, you know that
get out at 12:00. Those are my concerns. The traffic and whether or not this facility will
be an asset to the neighborhood. That is about it.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Gilles? Okay. Thank you ma'am.
Inez Gilles: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Carl Wright.

Carl Wright: Yes. My name is Carl Wright and I live 1144 Mondrian Loop in the
Scarborough Square Borough. As Ms. Henry said, we just fought back an issue there
involving traffic, concerns about safety, the availability for the emergency vehicles to get
in. We have semi -retired group of folks there. We have kids. We have school buses.
You know, basically it is a cul-de-sac. We are bringing in these big boxes and we're
talking about hundreds of cars coming into this community. We are already to the gill on
Holland Road. I came here actually to defer today but after listening to some of the
times, dates and numbers of people and in order to really make this thing work, they are
not going to be able run this thing a couple of hours. We're not talking about one or two
people coming at a time. We're talking about groups and after listening and we're
talking about probably. I don't know what a team is but the numbers they have on teams
but I coached football and basketball and I know with the teams come people. In order to
run a facility like this you got to have a number of people to be able to financially support
it. And, I don't see that really, and he said something about 60 to 80 people being there
at one time, I don't see how that is going to work. I don't see how they are going to be
able to court that every time 60 or 80 people in this facility. We just fought back this
issue with Raceco, and you're taking about coming into a residential neighborhood with
children and things like that. I understand that this is a business effort but we're talking
about putting the value of a child's life or one of these senior folks get sick and they can't
get an emergency vehicle in there or get them out in time. I would hate to be the one that
didn't stand up for this situation if something like that happens. I don't see where it
really enhances the community or it brings any value to the community. These folks
have worked very hard in Scarborough Square to bring this community forward. I don't
see at all how this will bring any value and you shouldn't take way from the community
when these folks have worked so hard to bring it up. I wish I sat down and talked to
them earlier but some other things were coming up and I wasn't able to sit down and talk
to these folks. Bu after listening to what they have planned here, I just don't see that
working in this community here at Scarborough Square. This is a residential community
and we're talking about bringing in almost a commercial operation here for a group of
folks coming into this neighborhood.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Wright? Mr. Horsley?
Donald Horsley: You are aware of the zoning on this property?
Carl Wright: Yes sir.
Donald Horsley: B-2.
Carl Wright: Yes.
Donald Horsley: A lot of very intense things can take place on this property. I mean it is
zoned and they could build a shopping in there next week.

Carl Wright: Yes sir. I'm sure that who ever comes in here will look at the integrity of
the community and try to enhance the community to work within the community as well.
We're not opposed or anything going to open space because people have a right to build
but you shouldn't invade the privacy and the safety of the community itself and the way
this is going to do. I mean bringing in groups. You are talking about soccer teams and
lacrosse teams, and this is a group of people. We're not talking about one or two folks
coming in at a time.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question.
Dorothy Wood: I appreciate what you have done with your neighborhood and how you
have worked so hard to keep it up, and it is a congratulations.
Carl Wright: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Do you think if the applicant was going to be interested that you all could
work something out before Council. I mean, I'm just trying to think of what you could
possibly? You said some people said they didn't have a chance to talk?
Carl Wright: Obviously some folks haven't talked to them. After looking at the plans,
we're talking about hundreds of cars Ms. Wood here. We're not talking about 20 or 30
cars. You got more folks coming here than using the recreation center at a general time.
We're talking about different. They got soccer fields, lacrosse fields. There is no way in
the world you're going to get 50 or 60 folks at any given time to be able to support this
operation. They got to bring in hundreds of folks to support this operation. You're
bringing it to a residential area.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. I was just wondering if we could work something out.
Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: So if was developed as a shopping center, wouldn't you have people
coming and going, more than 50 or 60 people?
Carl Wright: They are just saying it could be a shopping center. There hasn't been a
proposal for a shopping center. They're saying it could be but I'll assure you there would
be some other precautions taken if there was a shopping center there. There are other
things that it could be used for.
Kathy Katsias: For instance?
Carl Wright: Churches, medical facilities and things that enhance and bring value and
helps the integrity of the community itself. But it wouldn't be group of folks coming in
here at 300 or 400 at a time, and then he said 10:00 p.m. He didn't stop there. From
Item #15

what I was hearing they're saying they might be there until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning
for practicing.
Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: I see there is an access on Warwick Drive. If they eliminated that access
and only had access on Holland Road, would you be amenable to that, which wouldn't
create traffic along Warwick?
Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. That would probably help some. I don't know if you have
been down Holland Road lately trying to get down right now. So, if you're trying to get
in this facility off of Holland Road that would even back the traffic up more because at
any given time here at 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock, the traffic is backed up. I'm trying to get out
of Holland Road and Warwick Drive it is backed up clear to Dam Neck Road right now.
Kathy Katsias: Unfortunately, I think any road in Virginia Beach has the same problems.
Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. I'm just trying not to add to it.
Kathy Katsias: So, would you be in favor if it were deferred to get with the applicant?
Carl Wright: Talk. We can talk. I mean, we just dealt with this Raceco situation, and I
mean the concerns of the community, is the fact of the backing up of the traffic. You
know, imposing a big box on the community. You know, you're talking about putting a
six foot fence in folk's front yard. You're talking about a facility that will not be open to
the community. It is a private community. They have the right to do that but we got not
two blocks away there is brand new beautiful soccer field that just opened, and then there
is the Sportsplex that we are really trying to get enough folks to use over there.
Kathy Katsias: But this is an all indoor facility.
Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. I know. You're talking about putting a lot of folks in this
facility and you're still bringing traffic. It is nice to have folks, the parking spaces, but
you're not going to tell me that all the spaces are not going to be used, and them people
are going to park other places other than that facility when they come into the
community.
Kathy Katsias: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Henley has a question.
Al Henley: You've indicated that the traffic is backed up. Is it more of a concern of your
neighbors on Warwick Drive? I realize at times on Holland Road, but that it is primarily
backed up on Warwick Drive. Is that correct?
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 10
Carl Wright: Yes sir. Exactly. The school buses are coming in and out of there. It is a
big problem. Another big problem Mr. Henley is that you do have elderly folks there and
the emergency vehicles. It is almost impossible for them to get through that traffic if
there is an emergency.
AL Henley: I think Public Works Engineering could look at that to, and I'm not saying
where we're going with this today but for some reason if it is approved, Public Works
Traffic Engineering can delay that traffic cycle and adjust that traffic cycle on Warwick
Drive to let that traffic out, and to eliminate a lot of that back up. Because right now it is
limited to a certain, and I forget how many seconds, but they can adjust that and could
help accommodate one of your concerns which is the traffic backup.
Carl Wright: Yes. The emergency vehicles have to get in and out, with the traffic itself,
and the safety of the children. And we're not talking about a couple like 100 to 150, and
we're talking about close to 500 parking spaces. I'm sure they are going to go beyond
that.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Wright? Thank you sir.
Carl Wright: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers.
Barry Knight: I would like to ask Mr. Whitney a question, if I could. Mr. Whitney?
This property is zoned B-2. And, we're not going to downzone the property. The
property is what it is. Can you tell us some uses that are allowed by -right and nobody has
to come other than for site plan review that are permitted uses on this piece of property,
and possibly some hours of operation and possibly some traffic totals on those uses that
are permitted as it zoned today.
Jack Whitney: They are a wide range or retail uses. Everything from convenience stores
to shopping centers, to restaurants, a wide gamut under B-2 that could come onto the site.
None of which, in a by -right situation could have conditions applied to them, as would be
the case under a rezoning or Use Permit application. So, that is one advantage in having
uses that require either Use Permits or zoning changes. You can tailor and mitigate one
of the impacts of that particular use there. Under by -right, that is not available. They
could come in, submit a site plan, we would review it in accordance with the zoning
ordinance and the site plan ordnance, and it would all be done administratively.
Barry Knight: Could you give us some intense uses that could be here and possibly some
hours of operation and some maybe some traffic totals?
Jack Whitney: I'll ask your Zoning Administrator who has got the list in front of her to
review a number of them for you.
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 11
Karen Lasley: You can see the traffic projections in your staff report. With the existing
zoning, I think it is about 1,500 trips per day higher than what they predicted. Uses by -
right in B-2? I would say auditoriums assembly halls but that's up for change so we will
skip that one. There could be any kind of restaurant, a big box Wal -mart, K -marts or any
big box retail. Any kind of retail strip malls. The auto repair and that type of heavy use
are Conditional Use Permits also but probably restaurants and just regular retail. Any
kind of convenience stores, grocery stores, banks.
Barry Knight: Are there any limits on hours of operation?
Karen Lasley: No sir. None at all.
Barry Knight: No limits on hours of operation by -right. Tell me again, if you would, the
traffic counts. You can have some uses here that traffic could be substantially higher
than what is being requested today.
Karen Lasley: Correct. Yes. It is in your staff report. A typical B-2 use generates, I
think it has got 5,500 trips per day. This is predicted to be lower than that.
Barry Knight: 4,000. Thank you. Does anyone have any questions for Ms. Lasley while
she is there?
Eugene Crabtree: I got maybe just one question or may be just a comment. Since this
property was owned by King's Daughters, if they built a hospital there, which would be
under the use 24 hours a day, and would have changing shifts, they would probably have
more than 400 cars going there a day. They would probably generate probably to closer
to 1,000 trips a day that what is generated now. So, even if they were to build what they
originally had wanted to, which was a medical facility, which has to operate 24 hours a
day, and that would really generate more traffic and more goings and comings.
Karen Lasley: That would be hard for me to say. It would depend on the size and the
type of use.
Eugene Crabtree: But the possibility is there.
Karen Lasley: If a big trip was generated with emergency vehicles, and that type of
thing.
Eugene Crabtree: Right.
Barry Knight: Thank you Ms. Lasley.
Karen Lasley: It is a Conditional Use.
Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon?
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 12
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. The traffic numbers are also certain. The
traffic numbers in the city's write up at 4,000 is way over to what it would actually be.
But to answer, and I have a number of comments. First thing, the usage of the facility
during weekday hours, and that is prior to 4:00 pm, the maximum, which is during lunch
hour 12:00 —1:00 o'clock in the winter months, the maximum number of people that
would be in the facility would be 80 people. If they all drove their own car, that is 80
cars. Okay. That is the maximum during the day and that is during the winter between
12:00 and 2:00. There aren't too many school buses that are going in and out of the
neighborhood between 12:00 and 2:00. The traffic leaving the neighborhood peek is in
the morning. That is by far the least amount of usage of the facility. If the facilities usage
is in the pm hours as I mentioned before. The trees that are on the property as Ms. Henry
indicated that our trees will be gone. Well, unfortunately they are not her trees or their
trees. They belong to the property owner. The trees can be gone at any point in time. I
did, in fact, did go to their civic league meeting. I worked very hard to get invited to their
civic league meeting, and frankly, made the presentation on this application. There were
no questions that were asked that were not answered. Frankly, there were very few
questions that were even asked. I was basically rushed out. They really didn't want to,
talk about this application. In fact, I got two questions that were asked. One was by the
gentleman, who I believe who hosted the meeting, at his church facility there in the
shopping center. He couldn't believe it and asked, "you really need a Use Permit for
this?" He was surprised. He was surprised that we even needed a Use Permit to do
something like this. Chandler Scarborough with Green Run Community Association
actually came up to me at the end and said, "he thought it was fantastic, they needed it in
the area." If for some reason if it didn't go here, he hoped that he could find a place in
Green Run for it. The city does in fact need it. I was going to stay and answer any
questions that all were asked, and none were asked.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: The facility is open to the community. It is open to any one who wishes
to use, who wishes to be involved in a team. We're not puling people from mars here.
They are citizens of the City of Virginia Beach that will be using it and not criminals that
will be coming to create havoc for Scarborough Square or any other neighborhood.
Again, I wish we brought all the different groups in who are very, very interested in
seeing this facility built so you could see their faces and hear their words. This is
something that is anything but a negative for the community. Also, I want to mention
that churches are not a compatible land use under the APZ ordinance so this property
cannot be a church as was mentioned by Mr. Wright. At no point in time have I done
anything other than to try to talk the folks, engage in dialogue with the folks. And
frankly, this situation hasn't transpired. I will be glad to continue to talk. I'm glad to
listen but this is a very good land use for this piece of property given all things
considered. It will unavoidably reduce the amount of traffic that is there, at least that
could be there if the property were developed as it zoned for. The last thing I'll mention
because it struck me to hear that it was suggested that this was the only way in and out of
the neighborhood when I heard the same people argue that the neighborhood has an
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 13
entrance over on Shipp's Comer Road and the neighborhood would be used to cut
through, I'm not really sure which way they wish to argue it. But we are not going into
their neighborhood. We're trying to stay out of their neighborhood. The traffic impact
study will determine the appropriate access but everyone has looked at it. It is quite
certain that the access that is shown and is something that is similar to it is the most
appropriate access to the property. If it were developed as a shopping center, or any other
retail use, they would actually likely have a third access and they could have a third
access without anyone saying yes or no actually on Clubhouse Road. So, if you look at
the first application on your agenda, you look at their traffic numbers and correlate that to
a similar facility on this piece of property, the numbers that it would generate in terms of
traffic exceed 5,500 trips per day. Your staff is 100 percent on point with this. I just
don't know how you can argue when it is all indoors, and it is small teams because they
are small fields. It is not outside. Indoors and you're talking about again, 8, 10, maybe
14 participants or 16 participants at the most on any of the larger fields and even less on
the smaller fields. No basketball courts. It is not a basketball facility. Someone mention
something about using the courts. It is not a basketball facility.
Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon, Ms. Katsias has a question for you.
Kathy Katsias: one issue was affordability. Could you give us a perimeter of what the
affordability of the facility is?
Eddie Bourdon: I'm going to have John Wack give you that information. I'm not
familiar with the actual pricing.
Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon, would you get him to introduce himself please?
Eddie Bourdon: Yes. I will. Actually this is Mr. John Wack, one of the principals.
John Wack: John Wack.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Ms. Katsias has a question?
John Wack: Ma'am, typical we sell the activities that we have in our facility last about
eight weeks if it is something for a young child. For instance, one of our soccer
development programs that usually is about $80 to about $100 for an eight week program
where you will be meeting for an hour a week. On some of our smaller fields, we have
programs that are less costly. For instance, we have a partnership with Ripken Baseball
in our facility in Fredericksburg where the kids will have a one hour game once a week
for eight weeks and that is just $45.00. Our use per hour, the cost ranges roughly
somewhere between $5 and $10 and that is true for youth and adults.
Kathy Katsias: Thank you.

Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question.
Dorothy Wood: Do you think you could have a scholarship for some of the people that
live right in the area that we're concerned about? Is that something that you have ever
done?
John Wack: We have not had that situation at our Fredericksburg facility.
Dorothy Wood: Maybe you could even thing about it?
John Wack: But we will certainly be willing to consider it.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: In this whole thing and all has any discussions gone on with our Parks
and Recreation and our existing programs that are going on within the City, and
sometimes in the future plans with Parks and Recreation do you know of anything like
that? I see Mr. Bourdon coming back up here. He seems to know this. Eddie, has Parks
and Recreation been a part of this or any discussion?
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Crabtree, I'm going to give you a disjoined answer but the city has a
study that was commissioned that was done by Brailsford & Dunleavy. In fact, it is
mentioned in your staff write up, where the City has recognized that a lot of us that are
involved in one way or another in athletics and realize for sometime that a facility like
this is desperately needed. In fact, more than one because you got other sports other than
the ones that I mentioned that this is designed for. They are very much interested. They
are very much in communications with my clients. There are no two ways about that.
The city has some other agendas as well, which we are involved in conversation with
them across the board.
Eugene Crabtree: That is why I asked him because I know there are some things in the
works with Parks and Recreation at this time.
Eddie Bourdon: My clients have worked very closely with staff at all levels throughout
this process.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: How do you gain entry? Is there going to be somebody staffed at this
all the time or is it a key entry like a storage unit that you can get in?
John Wack: You go in. You have a card. You don't have access to the facility unless
our staff is there.
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 15
Janice Anderson: Okay.
John Wack: So, we open the facility much the way I would say like a YMCA. Each
participant in the league is issued a ID card, so when you come in for your activity you
present your ID card, we check you in, and then you go to your activity to participate.
Some things like a birthday party won't require that sort of ID check but the host of the
birthday party would come in and say they were there, and we would direct them to their
field or party room but for all the league players will be issued an ID and we check it.
Janice Anderson: Okay. But there are staff members there the whole time?
John Wack: Yes ma'am.
Janice Anderson: Okay. I have a few more. I guess the concern is the green space
between the neighborhood. Is there anyway, since they did mention that the tree buffer
could remain along that and maybe buffer that from the parking lot any perceived noise
that may happen. I mean, it is an indoor facility. The only thing that I could say Eddie is
maybe something from the parking lot maybe concerned if you kept some trees there.
Eddie Bourdon: If we could get the aerial? We don't have any aerial of the site? No
aerial. Okay.
Janice Anderson: There is one in our package here.
Eddie Bourdon: There are issues as we all confront from these applications. There are
issues with drainage and trying to create odds end drainage and half drainage and go
forward as opposed towards the rear of the property. All we can commit to Ms.
Anderson is to make every reasonable effort to retain these trees that could be retained on
that back 40 to 50 feet. I'm not sure on the area where the parking is and this is the best
to view it. I don't know if there are any trees in that area. It is open towards the Warwick
Drive side of the property, which is where that side of the parking. There is parking on
the south side so there would be some potentially some use in terms of helping to screen
it. If we can do that engineering wise, we certainly have no problem to a condition that to
the greatest extent possible consistent with the drainage we have to create. We will do
that or otherwise we will be planting new trees in that area.
Janice Anderson: Okay, because your site plan doesn't show any kind of or does it?
Eddie Bourdon: Category IV landscaping with the solid fence is shown on there.
Category IV is a row of trees that will grow up to 12, 15 or even 20 feet over time, but
that is what is shown on there. We have talked about it and if it can be done, there is no
reason for us to cut down trees and plant new ones if we can maintain 20 or 30 feet of the
vegetation in that southeast corner of the property. We will certainly try to do that. We

said that you have to cut them all down because you have to create positive drainage. We
can drain on them because you have to drain forward to and towards Holland Road.
Janice Anderson: Okay. But if we could, I think buffer with more vegetation maybe that
would stick down. The last thing, I guess, and the neighbors have talked about their
concern of their children in the neighborhood. You originally said that, I guess you were
still working on your traffic impact study and you were going to go over that during site
review. Is that correct?
Eddie Bourdon: The traffic impact study will be prepared and provided to the city during
site plan review to determine whether the accesses that have been shown are
appropriately designed, appropriately in place and if there are any other improvements
that need to be made. The belief is that what is shown is what is necessary and
appropriate but to make certain of that, and that is why. If it was something like where
there was a disagreement you would hear about the disagreement. The general consensus
is that what we are showing is appropriate but we are doing the traffic impact study to
make certain of that, and if there are additional improvements that need to be made or
modifications that need to be made, one of the conditions require that we do whatever is
recommended by the study.
Janice Anderson: Right. Mainly, you will go through traffic engineering and if it is a
public safety issue you are going to make those corrections there.
Eddie Bourdon: Right. If it requires a turn lane off of Warwick Drive. If it requires
striping on Warwick Drive, something along those lines, then that will be done.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: We have a minimal amount of access. There is a right in and a right out
and one off the main road and one on the main road.
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: I just want to make a comment that I agree with Dot Wood. I think a
certain number of scholarships should be available for some of the local kids there.
Something this big and cost looks like it is minimal, would be a nice thing.
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Strange. We can certainly explore that and that request was
certainly not one that was entertained when I met with the civic league. I think it is a
constructive suggestion.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you gentlemen. I
open it up for discussion amongst the Commission members.
Dorothy Wood: I think he wants to say something else and I'll sponsor him
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 17
Barry Knight: You will? Come back up sir and you're being sponsored by Ms. Wood if
it is brand new information.
Carl Wright: Yes it is.
Barry Knight: Okay. Reintroduce yourself please Mr. Wright and just speak to the new
information.
Carl Wright: Yes sir. Carl Wright, 1144 Mondrian Loop. I just want to make this clear
before you all make a decision. If you all approve this and this is not a success, we are
stuck with a great big box on Warwick Drive that we have to look at, and the folks
behind it have to look at it as long as they live there. We know there are a lot of these
boxes around, the old HQs and places like that, and we are just stuck with them until they
figure out what to do with them. So, when you all make this decision, I want you all to
understand that we all live in this community. We're stuck with the situation. I
understand what they're talking about with the scholarships and things like that but we
have one of the finest recreation department in the City. We're talking about sports, and
a lot of the kids in the community don't even participant in them. We do have some kids
that do participate in soccer. It is great. We have a lovely soccer facility right here in
Virginia Beach. I just wanted you to understand that if this is passed, and it is not a
success, we are stuck with this great big box.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Wright.
Dorothy Wood: As you would be with a Wal -mart or a K -mart.
Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. But we we're hearing a lot of hear -says and most of the folks
that I heard Mr. Bourdon refer to didn't have the same comment when it comes to this
facility here. I'm a member of this community and I haven't heard that said.
Dorothy Wood: I know you are and we appreciate it. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Wright? Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: Let me just correct one thing. There is absolutely no indoor soccer
facility located in Virginia Beach or Norfolk or Chesapeake or Portsmouth. None.
Barry Knight: We'll close the public hearing portion and open it up for discussion
among the Commission members. Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: I think to address one of Mr. Wright's issues. I think the City was proactive
in that we hired a consultant to really look at the need before we we're pursuing this, so
the City did hire a consultant to look at the marketability of this indoor sports facility. I
would also like to say that if you look at the traffic counts conservatively by -right, this
will be a reduction of more than 20 percent, if not more. This seems like it is a very
Item #15
Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C.
Page 18
conservative average daily count. So, I think it is a nice facility. I think it is something
that is needed. Our consultants are telling us that the City needs it. There is not one in the
entire region. So, I would be in support of the project.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions or comments? Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: I just want to say one thing. The reason why I asked Mr. Bourdon
about Parks and Recreation, and as Jay said, they looked into this indoor facility or
indoor arena type for things to be put in some of the Parks and Recreation property
around the city. There are things for them to do in the future but it is way in the future. It
is not in the immediate future. So, this does coder the need for the City with indoor
facilities in the meantime before we do get something done by our Parks and Recreation
people later on.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: Yes. I analyze this and the complaints that were brought forth today. The
main concern is traffic. Our staff has looked in to that and they indicated a lot of things
that could be done under B-2, which would generate more traffic, so I would say that the
traffic is not as a big issue as they think it is going to be. So, for that reason, I would
support it.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? The Chair will entertain a motion.
Eugene Crabtree: I'll make a motion that we approve the application as presented.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor by Gene Crabtree and seconded by Jay
Bernas to approve agenda item 15, the application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Is
there any discussion? I'll call for the question.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Cingular Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit for a
communication tower on property located at 4021 Charity Neck Road (GPIN
2411550252). AICUZ is Less Than 65 dB DNL. DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a
portion of a site zoned AG -1 Agricultural for a wireless communications tower,
antennas, and associated equipment building. The proposed lease area will be
developed with a 195 -foot tall communications tower and equipment cabinet. The
proposed tower will accommodate up to four (4) wireless communication carriers.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the "Rural Area" with
uses related to farming, forestry, 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," (Pg. 161).
■ Considerations:
The proposed tower location provides approximately 400 feet from the lease area
to the closest residential property line. The location is beside an existing, tree -
lined buffer along the northern property line, which will be less obtrusive and not
as detrimental to surrounding properties as other locations. An additional buffer
will be planted adjacent to the non-residential uses on the site, consisting of 50%
indigenous grasses and shrubs and the remaining 50% with a mixture of 25%
deciduous and 75% evergreen.
The applicant submitted the required structural report indicating that the
proposed tower's design meets the requirements of the Intemational Building
Code and a Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report (NIER) indicating that
emissions do not result in ground level exposure at any point outside the facility
and is within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards.
In sum, staff concludes that the proposed tower is consistent with the standards
provided in the City Zoning Ordinance for wireless communication towers. Also of
importance in staff's evaluation is the need for wireless communication service in
the southern portion of Virginia Beach, particularly as it pertains to enhanced
emergency response and 911 communications. There are still portions of this
Cingular Wireless — Charity Neck Road
Page 2 of 3
part of the city that are not adequately covered by wireless service, rendering use
of wireless devices for emergency calls moot.
There was opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The tower shall be constructed substantially in adherence to the site plans
entitled "NO60XC833-C VEPCO Structure # 27/289 Sprint, Co -Location
Transmission Tower", prepared by Alcoa Wireless Services, Inc., and dated
9/14/05 (issued for construction). This site plan has been exhibited to City
Council and is on file with the Department of Planning.
2. The tower shall be limited in height to 195 feet.
3. The tower shall not be lit.
4. The applicant and / or owner shall plant Leland Cypress behind the existing
trees on and along the along the portions of the property line shared with the
adjacent property owner to the east of the tower.
5. The portion of the subject property between the tower and the adjoining
property to the east will remain undeveloped and used only for agricultural
purposes except as shown on the site plan.
6. The applicant shall install a board on board style privacy fence in lieu of the
chain link fence. No barbed wire shall be permitted. Landscaping around the
tower shall comply with the City of Virginia Beach requirements.
7. No signs indicating the location of this facility are allowed.
8. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of
Communications and Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency
emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a qualified engineer licensed to
practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended user(s)
will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications
facilities, shall be provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all
subsequent users.
9. In the event interference with any City of Virginia Beach emergency
communications facilities arises from the users of this tower, the user(s) shall
take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the
interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time,
the user shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop
Cingular Wireless — Charity Neck Road

the interference.
10. Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year,
the applicant shall remove the antennae and their supporting tower and
related equipment.

COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: The proposed site design is acceptable. A
frequency spectrum (MHz) report is required to ensure that inference is not encountered with a City -owned
facility located on Pleasant Ridge Road.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the "Rural Area" with uses related to farming,
forestry, 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." (Pg. 161)
Evaluation:
The proposed tower at a height of 195 feet has been designed to accommodate up to three (3) additional
providers, for a total of four (4) antennas. The application, when originally submitted, located the tower at
202 feet from the rear property line of the adjacent dwelling to the east, which was not in keeping with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for these types of towers. Section 232(b)(1) of the City Zoning
Ordinance stipulates no communication tower be located closer to an existing residential structure than
the distance equal to 125 percent of the total height of the tower.
The applicant worked with staff and relocated the proposed lease area for the tower to a point further
west from the original location. The revised tower location provides approximately 400 feet from the lease
area to the residential property line. The revised location is beside an existing, tree -lined buffer along the
northern property line, which will be less obtrusive and not as detrimental to surrounding properties. It is
recommended, however, that an additional buffer be planted adjacent to the non-residential uses on the
CINGULAR WIRELESS - CHARITY NECK ROAD
Agenda Item 25
Page 2
site, consisting of 50% indigenous grasses and shrubs and the remaining 50% with a mixture of 25%
deciduous and 75% evergreen.
The applicant submitted the required structural report indicating that the proposed tower's design meets
the requirements of the International Building Code and a Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report
(NIER) indicating that emissions do not result in ground level exposure at any point outside the facility
and is within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards.
In sum, staff concludes that the proposed tower is consistent with the standards provided in the City
Zoning Ordinance for wireless communication towers. Also of importance in staffs evaluation is the need
for wireless communication service in the southern portion of Virginia Beach, particularly as it pertains to
enhanced emergency response and 911 communications. There are still portions of this part of the city
that are not adequately covered by wireless service, rendering use of wireless devices for emergency
calls moot. The wireless communication providers are required to provide 911 connectivity, and the
antennas located on this tower will assist in meeting that requirement and ensuring the safety of those
living or traveling in this area of the city.
CONDITIONS
1. The tower shall be constructed substantially in adherence to the site plans entitled "N060XC833-C
VEPCO Structure # 27/289 Sprint, Co -Location Transmission Tower", prepared by Alcoa Wireless
Services, Inc., and dated 9/14/05 (issued for construction). This site plan has been exhibited to City
Council and is on file with the Department of Planning.
2. The tower shall be limited in height to 195 feet.
3. The tower shall not be lit.
4. The applicant and / or owner shall plant Leland Cypress behind the existing trees on and along the
along the portions of the property line shared with the adjacent property owner to the east of the tower.
5. The portion of the subject property between the tower and the adjoining property to the east will
remain undeveloped and used only for agricultural purposes except as shown on the site plan.
6. The applicant shall install a board on board style privacy fence in lieu of the chain link fence. No
barbed wire shall be permitted. Landscaping around the tower shall comply with the City of Virginia
Beach requirements.
7. No signs indicating the location of this facility are allowed.
8. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and
Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a
qualified engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended
user(s) will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities, shall be
provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all subsequent users.
9. In the event interference with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities arises
from the users of this tower, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and
eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user
shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.

10. Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant shall
remove the antennae and their supporting tower and related equipment.
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 and Standards.

REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 25, Cingular Wireless. An application of Cingular
Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower on property located at
4021 Charity Neck Road, District 7, Princess Arnie with seven conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am.
Lisa Murphy: Good afternoon. I would say good evening but it is not quite that late. My
name is Lisa Murphy. I'm a local attorney and I'm here today on behalf of the applicant.
I've got to commend Stephen White. He did a great job earlier this morning in trying to
explain to you why you're going to be seeing so much more of myself and the other folks
who do wireless work. And, I thought the best way to kind of give you a sense of what is
going on, and you all have that map. If you look at the map that you have you will notice
all of the white, sort of triangles or existing sites that are on the air. And you will see
they are predominately in the northern part of the city. That is also really where most of
the population is. Where you have those sites you got already your basic network built
out, and what you're starting to see in the northern part of the city is really sort of fill in
and capacity sites. So areas where they find there is a lack in coverage, they come back
and try to complete the coverage. And you will notice, if you look at your maps, if you
look along the interstate just how close those towers are, and somebody has asked the
question, "well how many, how close"? And it really depends on whether or not you're
talking about your basic network, which is what we're talking about in the southern part
of the city or you're taking about filling in sites. So, if you look down to the area where
we are and the site that we're talking about in particular is noted in purple as a proposed
site, and that is 308. If you look around that there are very few of these white existing
sites that are already turned on. There just a lot in there. And that is really going to
mirror what the prorogation maps show on this map. On this map or just sort of spotty
coverage, white is very limited to no coverage, especially none inside buildings and the
green is that good solid coverage. So, as you would expect from the map that shows the
great distance of the existing towers from this particular location, there is a huge area that
is white with no coverage or just spotty coverage in that area. With this particular tower,
we're able to fill in a great deal of that with the green, which is a very good coverage, and
also pick up a whole lot of orange to get us to connect with those other sites that are on
the air. The biggest difference, I think between the heavily populated cities and the
southern parts is that the network just hasn't been built out. Your basic backbone of sites,
and I was thinking about it this morning and it is almost like your power. You start out
with a big transmission towers and as they get into the certain heavily populated area,
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 2
they can get lower and lower with the poles. Somewhat similar to that but except for
with antennas the way they work they have to be up higher than what they are trying to
communicate with on the ground. So, it is not a perfect analogy but that's basically the
technology. The other reason why you're seeing so many of these, interestingly, after
September 11, when the capital markets tanked, so did funding for the wireless
companies. And those of us who do this type of work saw a real dip in the work. And
instead of continuing to build out their networks, the carriers told their engineers that
"hey, we have every limited funding, tell us what your top ten sites are in all of Hampton
Road or all of Richmond, and we'll try to plug in those holes". So, we're now seeing the
funding come back around and that's part of the reason why you're starting to see more
of these applications. The particular application, again, is off of Charity Neck Road just
to sort of orient you. There is Charity Neck Road (pointing to PowerPoint). The tower
site is over here. There is a nice natural buffer of trees in through here. And actually, a
ditch, sort of a water line, that comes in through there, so it actually makes a pretty good
buffer. There are floodplains that run in through here. And, what we've tried to do over
the course of months and working with the property owner, is to try and get this tower
back into an area where we can get some of the benefit of those trees but yet stay out of
the floodplain, and stay far enough off that canal that goes through there and the area
where we can't campus the tower. So, we picked this particular location for the tower, as
it is mentioned in your staff report. It is a 195 foot tower. This drawing shows it a little
bit but there is actually where the sort of tree line comes out. It jets out a little bit here
and then goes back in and jets out again there. So, there is a benefit of a little jet out of
trees right in that area. The tower itself, they're going to put to the absolute corner so it
can make the most use out of that tree line. That shows you that point right there would
be the tower. So, it is far enough off of the tree line to get away from the water issues
there but yet, you see this, where the tree line jets out here, we get some of the benefit of
that putting the tower right in that particular location. The proposed tower is 195 feet. It
is a monopole design, which you all discussed somewhat. The monopole design is
actually fairly standard. It allows for collocation, in this case at 195 feet, we can get four
carriers on it. The carriers all work very closely together. AT&T is the carrier who is
building this particular tower with Cingular Wireless. But there will be others who will
come on and will be able to share that tower. A monopole design is one of the least
visually intrusive types of designs because you got a pole which is essentially 6 to 8 feet
in diameter at the base, and then and you see it tapers as you get to the top, and it can
taper up to 3 feet in diameter at the top. And, then you got the antennas attached there.
So, as far as the pole portion of it, as was mentioned this morning, that tends to blend in
with the background. In the area of, as was mentioned, to the north of this site, there is
actually a City owned tower at the Mosquito Control Center there at Pungo. That tower,
as was mentioned is over 400 feet tall, and it can be seen really quite a distance. So,
we're talking about a tower that is twice the height of our tower. It is a lattice design and
it is painted orange and white, which is required by FAA. So, by comparison, our
monopole will be half the height essentially. We've added as a condition, I think, Ms.
Prochilo provided to you that it will not be lit. I've got a FAA determination that I can
give you that indicates that the tower itself will not pose any type of threat or hazard to
air travel. I think there was initially a question that came in. We got the determination
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 3
from the FAA that indicates no hazard, no lights required. And, I met with the gentleman
in charge of the local airport and he was very comfortable once I had explained to him
and provided him with a copy of that report. In meeting with and communicating with
the directing adjacent property owner, there is a home on this property over there and a
trailer, a one-story structure on that property. And the concern was the view shed to the
tower, and again, as it was mentioned this morning, we've gone back a distance of 409
feet, so it is quite a distance away. But the concern was what would be seen from that
one-story structure. So, what we've done is added conditions that would essentially add
tree plantings. You see, your access is going to come along through here. We've added a
conditional indicating that there will be Leland Cypresses planted along this property line
and then most importantly along this property line. Also, we've added a condition that
the area between the tower and the property will not be used for anything but agricultural
and access, and then the tower itself, in addition to the city required landscaping around
the base, we've actually added a board on board fence. So what will be seen will be very
heavily screened and very heavily buffered from the ground level. And, I'm happy to
answer any questions.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions at this time for Ms. Murphy?
Lisa Murphy: I'm sorry, one other thing. We actually have a petition of folks who are in
support of the tower. I'll pass that out as well.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Murphy? Okay. Thank you.
Lisa Murphy: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have James Diersen.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir.
James Diersen: Good afternoon to the Commission. My name is James Diersen. I live
at 1780 Gum Bridge Road, which is the house that you see just to the left of the blue line.
And, I just have a couple of concerns about this. Since no one bothered to come to the
homeowners around the property and address this, and not to take up my whole three
minutes but I didn't receive my notice about the meeting until yesterday at noon also,
although it was dated August 28, 2007. It is my understanding that the purpose of the
zoning regulations is to protect the health, safety, well being, and property values of the
community. I don't see where this is going to do many of those. I feel that the current
residents are being forced into an involuntary exposure of RF radiation hazards. I have
serious concerns about the flooding issues where they're proposing to put this tower. I'm
happy to have the luxury of having waterfront property several times a year from right
here all the way to here (pointing to PowerPoint). And, I've actually seen this entire area,
which doesn't drain very well now, completely under water. My barn sits right here and
the horses have a high flat area to stand in my yard right there. So, they stand on the hill
and all of this has ducks in it swimming around. I'm concerned that when they put this
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 4
roadway in and they build this tower, it is definitely not going to be below the floodplain,
and all of this that you see right here and this tree line going back drains this way across
this road and out towards Newbridge. When they put this road in this isn't going to
anything to enhance that drain. It is actually going to hurt it. So, I'm questioning on
what's being looked at for that? Has the Army Corp. of Engineers been contacted? The
DEQ? Has there been any environmental impact study done on what this is going to do
in that area? Also, it wasn't really answered by the previous presentation but I'm
wondering in the rural section of Virginia Beach that were supposedly not developing, is
this going to serve existing customers or are they simply putting this tower up with the
idea they will be the first people with tower that can sell space on it, and then that way
when they do start to develop below the green line, they will be the first people with the
tower up and ready to service or are they putting it up for the people already there now
because we don't have good coverage? That is all that I have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Diersen at this time?
Donald Horsley: The only comment that I will make is probably putting it up the hill
helps us to keep coverage and get coverage.
James Diersen: I have Verizon. I get great coverage at my house. I don't know very
much about this and I wasn't going to be involved in it until I was drug into it by local
residents that I talked to oppose it. No one came to and said this is what we're planning
to do. How do you feel about it or anything else? I did Google it. I got 1.2 million hits
on cell phone towers and RF radiation and things of that nature. It is constantly being
studied. There is a lot of stuff going on with it. I was diagnosed with cancer two years
ago. I moved out to the country. I don't particularly want to live next to a cell phone
tower. I don't see where that adds any value to my property. It is going to take away and
you're going to have all these other concerns with flooding and everything else. It is not
just "I don't want it in my backyard" situation. There is a lot of area out there in Pungo.
The airport has opened up. I have planes flying low over my house all the time. Ultra
lights fly over the house. They fly, close enough that they can see us wave in my pool.
So, I have concerns, also. Before they said there is no concern with the air traffic, yet the
planes fly very low. It doesn't bother me. They are old planes. They're nice to look at.
But, the tower would definitely be sticking out above the tree line and it will cause a
hazard.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Diersen? Thank you.
James Diersen: Thank you very much for your time.
Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Maria Benetz.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am.
Maria Benetz: Thank you. Hello. Thank you very much.
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 5
Barry Knight: Please state your name for the record.
Maria Benetz: Maria Benetz. Dear Members of our Planning Commission and all people
present. Thank you for this moment. My name is Maria Benetz and I'm speaking for my
dear mother Elizabeth Benetz, who just turned 85 years young September 7, 2007. My
mother is the landowner of 4001, and my little cottage of 3973 Charity Neck Road. I'm
not only speaking for myself and my mother but for many, many residents of our dear
Pungo. These are residents of beautiful homes on Pleasant Ridge, Charity Neck Road
and new homeowners across from historic 1789 Charity United Methodist Church, and
the residents on and off of Gum Bridge and Dawley Road. All of these residents,
taxpayers and voters of the City of Virginia Beach who have signed this petition against
this 195 foot monopole cell tower on the property of 4021 Charity Neck Road. I am
speaking for all of these undersigned residents who do not wish to walk out of their front
or back doors and look up into the sky and see this 195 foot monopole of Cingular
Wireless because we chose this field and landscape in their natural beauty. God Bless
you! Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Benetz? Ms. Benetz, you live in the top
right hand corner just outside the blue? Is that correct?
Maria Benetz: Yes.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions?
Dorothy Wood: I would like to thank Ms. Benetz for spending her day with us. She was
here when we arrived this morning. You are certainly a lovely lady and I watched you
with your mother today. You're a very lovely lady.
Maria Benetz: Thank you. God Bless you!
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Okay. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers.
Barry Knight: Ms. Murphy?
Lisa Murphy: Just a couple of points. One that I wanted to really discuss especially
sitting through today's applications, the type of use that we're talking about is an
incredibly passive use. There is no parking. There are no crowds. There are no traffic
issues. It is essentially but for the stroke of Congresses' pen, a public utility, although it
is not really a public utility. Once the tower is actually built it will be visited maybe once
or twice a month by each carrier that is on it and that is just to go out and make sure that
the antennas are still working properly. So, as far as the other types of planning uses that
you consider an impact, it is a very low impact use frankly. The added benefit, again,
towards being able to on a large piece of farm land, and this happens so many times in
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 6
rural applications especially, this is farmland that will remain in agricultural use. Most of
the folks that end up becoming landlords, they have large pieces of property. They do it
so they can keep from developing that property. The development is really coming all
around us. And we mentioned to Ms. Benetz when we met with her and to others this
really prohibits this property from being developed in any other way. It is not going to be
a neighborhood. It will be as you see it now for a very long time. That is predominately
because the commitment that the landlord has to the tenant can get up to be a 15 to 20
year commitment. So, that really locks in the use and this very passive use, which I think
is a benefit to the area because it is something again, that won't add traffic. Cingular
Wireless, which is now known as AT&T is licensed by the Federal Government, as you
know to provide wireless services. There are other carriers who are also interested
because they're licensed by the federal government, they have to go through a higher
level of scrutiny, if you will, as far as environmental review, need for review, so they
have to comply with all the federal laws, in addition. When we met with Ms. Benetz, we
offered and asked her to invite the other folks who she said had interest to come to the
meeting at her home, and it was just herself and a relative and another gentleman. So, we
did try to reach out to the group. And again, this is really an amenity and a public utility
for the folks in the area who don't have the coverage and service at this point. I thank
you. Again, staff recommends approval of the application and it does comply with your
Zoning Ordinance.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: Lisa, we couldn't read your signatures.
Lisa Murphy: I have a better copy.
Dorothy Wood: Maybe you could just tell us. We have a lot of signatures on Charity
Neck that are opposed to it, so where are the people?
Lisa Murphy: There are about 50 in support. They are on Pleasant Ridge, Princess Anne
Road, Morris Neck, Gum Bridge, Muddy Creek, Pleasant Ridge, Charity Neck, Mill
Landing, Charity Neck, Charity Neck.
Dorothy Wood: It is hard to believe that there are this many people there that have signed
both. I mean looking around.
Lisa Murphy: Well it is interesting because my assistant, her family lives very close by
and she looked at the list and she said that was one of my teachers in elementary school.
I know that person and sort of a who's who. But I will give staff the original written
copy so that you can see much more clearly. As you all probably know from sitting
through a lot of these, the people who want the service are usually the people who don't
show up at these hearings. I mean it is very rare that folks come to speak in support other
than the carrier who is doing the application, and then the other carriers. I can tell you
that we are actively marketing this site to Verizon and to some of the other carriers to see
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 7
if there is interest. And on some of our tower applications, there will be one or two other
carriers that will be involved.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood, I asked Ms. Murphy to email me her petition because I had the
opposition petitions so I can try to compare them. And, I recognize a lot of names on
both of the petitions. I'm not going to say that it is equally divided but there are a lot of
names on both petitions.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks.
Barry Knight: They are from within the area too.
Lisa Murphy: You know the most striking thing and the thing that folks ask me the most
was "what about the orange and white tower to the north"? Because it is really sort of
stand -out feature that you can see from many directions. My clients have spoken with the
City about that. I confirmed with the City that this isn't a tower that there isn't leasing
space on.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Ms. Murphy at this time? Mr. Horsley?
Donald Horsley: The revised conditions that we have here, I saw you meeting with the
Benetz after our informal session this morning, and did you address these with the
opposition, and are they comfortable with these conditions?
Lisa Murphy: I won't speak for Ms. Benetz but I think she was more comfortable
because this obstructs the view but I don't know that she would ever be comfortable.
Donald Horsley: But you did go over these because they are different then the ones in
our packets.
Lisa Murphy: Yes. The last, I think starting from the tower won't be lit down.
Karen Prochilo: Excuse me. I just want to bring up that the conditions are similar to what
you had provided Lisa Murphy with but we incorporated them into the report and the
numbers are not the same.
Lisa Murphy: Okay. So, I think there was originally a condition about the landscaping
around the base of the tower and to that was the board on board fence. The Leyland
Cypress along the property lines. That was added. The commitment to keep the area
between the tower and the property line in either agricultural use or just as shown on the
site plan, which would essentially be the road. Those were all added. And, also since we
know that the tower will not be lit we added that as a condition as well that it will not
Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Page 8
have a light on it. But those were all things that we offered up and discussed with that
with the property owner.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Ms. Murphy? Thank you. I'll open it up
for discussion. Is there any discussion? I'll add a little postscript on it I guess. Mr.
Chaplain, it is nice to see you sitting here today. I know that you're the property owner.
I see down at the bottom right hand corner where Charity Neck Church is and Charity
Neck Cemetery is, and you're well aware of it because you live across the street. But I
don't go to Charity Neck Church. It is not going to affect my vote whatsoever. But, sure
it would be nice if they could expand there cemetery into your property. So, I just thought
I would put a plug in for the church. Is there any discussion? The Chair will entertain a
motion.
Donald Horsley: I spoke with Benetz earlier on a couple of months ago as they called me
in concern and I told them at the time, and I wasn't being facetious, I said I'm looking out
my back window and where there is a tower and I really don't see a tower. And, I think
the perception and rightfully so, these people just don't know what to expect when one of
these are put up. But, we got use to having a tower, very close and close proximity to
where we live. Unless you really walk out your backdoor and look up in the air, you
really don't even know it is there. A lot of people walk around their yard and they don't
really realize a tower is there unless you look up. Quite often, they have a tendency to
blend in with the sky depending upon the atmospheric conditions. There are needs for
these. The city is changing technology that we have. It is more and more prevalent
everyday so there is a need for more towers in our area. This may not be the perfect site.
It is a site that the applicant chose and that is the one that is before us today and that is the
one we have to vote on. It may be another site that would be a little bit better and even
more easier to pass, but there wouldn't be as much opposition or it may not have any
opposition, but that is not here today. This is the one to pass. I know we appreciate the
concerns of the neighbors but I think the applicant has done all that it can do to make this
thing less intrusive on their property. So, at this time, I make a motion that we approve
item 25, Cingular Wireless Charity Neck Road application.
Barry Knight: And I have a second from Al Henley. So, there is a motion made to
approve the application by Don Horsley and a second by Al Henley. Is there any
discussion? I'll call for the question.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:
Antenna Tower Pleasant Ridge Road-NF308C
Location:
Virginia Beach, VA
Latitude:
36-40-41.77 N NAD 83
Longitude:
76-0-5.53 W
Heights:
195 feet above ground level (AGL)
197 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking
and/or lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed and maintained in
accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 K Change 2.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and. frequencies or use of greater power will
void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power, or the
addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission if the structure is
subject to their licensing authority.

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, since classes at school would have resumed by September 12, 1
will most likely be unable to attend the hearing without taking leave and missing one of the first days of school.
For what it's worth, please note that my wife and I are in opposition to the current location of the tower.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Piccillo —
The Cingular Wireless at Charity Neck is deferred from the August meeting. They are regrouping with some
revisions and will be on the September Agenda. Sorry if there was an error in the delivery. If you are an adjacent
property owner, there should be another notice coming concerning the September hearing date (which would be
September 12th). Thank you for emailing. If you do have opposition it is always important to try to attend the
hearing to voice your concerns.

Dear Ms. Prochilo:
Due to a delivery error to our new home on 4036 Charity Neck Road (GPIN 2411-64-2658) we did not receive
notification of the hearing regarding the proposed wireless tower located at 4021 Charity Neck Road until today.
Please be notified that we are opposed to the location of the tower as currently proposed. It is our belief that at
the very least the tower should be moved further back into the adjacent woods to a less intrusive position so that
the current resident next to the tower location would not have such an eyesore immediately behind their home.
We are also concerned regarding the amount of low-flying air traffic from the Virginia Beach Airport which is due
west of the proposed tower. It would appear that this towers' location may pose a safety threat to the operations
of the airport. Finally, we are opposed to this proposed location as it causes the intrusion of a more commercial
influence in the agricultural atmosphere of this community which was the very reason we purchased our lot on
Charity Neck Road five years ago, built our home there this spring and moved here from the Kempsville district.
I will make every effort to attend the Planning Commission hearing.

Dear Mrs Henley,
I am writing this to express my opinion on the Subject Application for a Cingular Wireless Tower at
4021 Charity Neck Road. I had hoped to present my views at the Planning Commision Hearing on
Wednesday August 8th but unfortunately I cannot attend due to a previous commitment. My property
and home is at 1789 Gum Bridge Road across from the proposed site.
I feel that this Application should be rejected for several reasons:
(1) The proposed site is adjacent to Charity United Methodist Church which although it may not be on
the registry of historic sites is nevertheless a historic site and House of Worship.
(2) My home at 1789 Gum Bridge Road is also a historical property. Although my house is covered
with conventional vinyl siding, it is actually a very old log house made from hand-hewn timbers. As
such, I have had numerous opportunites to register my home as a historic site.
(3) The presence of a communications tower will undoubtedly adversly affect property values in the
immediate area and destroy the historic beauty and simplicity of this important historical
neighborhood.
(4) There is a health hazard for those whose homes are in the immediate vicinity of said proposed
communications tower.
Back in May 1990 a proposal by AMERICAN EAGLE COMMUNICATION to build a Broadcast Tower on
Gum Bridge Road was denied by City Council. At that time I presented to City Council evidence based
on prior studies that living in close proximity to Broadcast Towers is hazardous to human health.
The Cingular Tower will be for the transmission of microwaves which on the surface seem to present
no problem; however, said microwaves are modulated which bring them down to the ELF Frequency
Range which is where the health problems occur. You were our Council Representative at that time so
I attach a copy of my notes from that meeting which give a full explanation of the facts.
To my way of thinking one of the duties of All Government is to insure the health and tranquility of its
citizens. Another important duty is to preserve the historical areas of our city for future gernerations.
I thank You for your continuing service to the Citizens of Virginia Beach.
Sincerely and with Best Wishes,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Greg Smith for a Conditional Use Permit for a home
occupation (making and selling glass bead pendants) on property located at 594
Van Buren Court (GPIN 1486576552). DISTRICT 3 — ROSE HALL.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a home occupation for
glass blowing. The applicant proposes to run a business making and selling
glass bead pendants.
This site is located in a Primary Residential Area as designated by the
Comprehensive Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan states that the objective
of the Primary Residential Area is to protect the predominantly suburban
character that is defined, in large measure, by the stable neighborhoods of the
Primary Residential Area. Proposed development within the Primary Residential
Area should focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character,
economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this
area.
■ Considerations:
Home occupations are typically appropriate conditional uses within residential
areas provided the requirements established in the City Zoning Ordinance are
adhered to, such as, but not limited to, restricting the amount of area that can be
used for the home based business, prohibiting the use of signage, and
generating no additional traffic than what is customary of a residential street.
The applicant's product will be produced in the garage attached to the house,
where the applicant already does glass blowing as a hobby. The majority of the
sales will be done over the Internet. Some of the pendants will be sold to
galleries and stores for wholesale. The applicant is the main employee but does
have some assistance from his wife.
The minimal activity related to this proposal is not likely to adversely impact the
surrounding properties in any way. From the exterior of the house, business
activity associated with the proposed home occupation should be virtually
undetectable. The proposal is compatible with the adjacent residential
neighborhood and consistent with the criteria found in Section 234, Home
Greg Smith
Page 2of2
Occupation, of the Zoning Ordinance. There are no employees, few deliveries,
and only a small number of individuals coming to the house for merchandise.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
concluded the proposed use will not impact surrounding properties, the proposal
is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance's criteria for home occupations, and
there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
In accordance with Section 234 of the City Zoning Ordinance, not more than
twenty (20) percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and accessory
structure shall be used in conjunction with the home occupation.
2. No signs advertising the business shall be permitted on the premises or
installed on the lot or buildings on the lot at any time.
3. There shall be no individuals employed by the applicant to assist with the
home occupation other than one family.
4. Sales to the general public of product or merchandise shall not be permitted
on the property.
5. The home occupation shall not create noise, dust, vibration, smell, smoke,
glare, electrical interference, fire hazard, or any other hazard or nuisance to
any greater or more frequent extent than would normally be expected in the
neighborhood under normal circumstances wherein no home occupation
exists.

CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 8. That is the application of Greg
Smith. This is for a Conditional Use Permit for a home occupation, which is the making
and selling of glass bead pendants. It is located on property at 594 Van Buren Court in
the Rose Hall District. Welcome sir.
Greg Smith: Thank you. I fully accept the five conditions.
Janice Anderson: Can you state your name for the record?
Greg Smith: My name is Greg Smith.
Janice Anderson: And you have reviewed the five conditions and they are acceptable?
Greg Smith: Yes ma'am, I have.
Janice Anderson: Thank you sir.
Greg Smith: Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the consent
agenda? See none, the Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this application.
Eugene Crabtree: This application, basically what it is for a hobby that has grown to the
extent that it has become necessary to be a business and has to have a Conditional Use
Permit in a home garage. It does not affect any other surrounding properties. It doesn't
affect any other homeowners in the area. There is no opposition to it from anyone in the
area. It will not create anymore traffic into the area. There will be no employees other
than family members that will work in this business, so it doesn't really impact
whatsoever on the neighborhood. There will be no signs. There will be no merchandise
sales made directly on the property. They will always be wholesale or on the internet.
Therefore, we felt it was the appropriate thing to put it on the consent agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Gene. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to
approve agenda item 8.

PLANNING ITEM # 55533
The following registered in SUPPORT:
Attorney R. J. Nutter, 222 Central Park Avenue, Phone: 687-7502, represented the applicant and advised
the applicant will dedicate a right-of-way to straighten out Princess Anne Road, in addition to excess
property donated to Nimmo Church for their expansion. Attorney Nutter displayed a large area between
the homes. The existing right-of-way for the Church will remain open space preservation area (a very
large area of tree preservation between the residents and those traversing Princess Anne Road). A
preservation easement will also be dedicated to the City. The issue entails connectivity to the Three Oaks
neighborhood immediately to the south of this application. There will NOT be a vehicle connection with
Three Oaks. However, when the P-1 area is rezoned, Council Lady Henley, representatives of the City
will meet with the neighborhood and determine (although no vehicular connection), if emergency and
pedestrian connections are desired between Matthews Green and Three Oaks. The applicant will pay
the cost of these connections.
Dennis Meligonis, 2256 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 430-4425, President - Three Oaks Homes
Association, advised he would enjoy the upscale neighborhood consisting offorty-nine (49) homes
adjacent to Three Oaks. The community has not had time to meet re the emergency access and bike path.

Joseph Giancola, 2228 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 427-0245, resident of Three Oaks for 19 years,
submitted the original petition to oppose any connection to Mathews Green. The Petition contains the
signatures of 218 homeowners opposed to any connectivity to the Mathews Green community. Said
petition is hereby made a part of the record. The first survey resulted in 189 signatures opposed to a

The following registered in OPPOSTION.-
Renee Swinson, 2200 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 427-1956, over the past few years, numerous
developments have been considered and approved within the Transition Area. With the increase in
density, the need for this development is questioned. During the last three (3) years, over eight
hundred (800) homes have been approved for development in the Transition Area. Kellam and
Three Oaks Elementary Schools will have a difficult time accommodating the students. The cost for
owning a home in Virginia Beach is more expensive and traffic congestion is also increasing. Funds are
not increasing to balance the infrastructure needs with the increased density created by residential
developments.
Mayor Oberndorf referenced the correspondence form Captain P.J. Lorge, U.S. Navy, Commanding
Officer, Naval Air Station Oceana;.suggesting representatives of Mathews Green Association contact the
Community Planning Liaison Officer, Ray Firenze. The Navy's Air Installation Compatible Use Zone
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. Said letter is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Henley advised the Civic Association has suspended meetings for the summer; therefore,
they have not addressed the recommendations from the Planning staff for a pedestrian trail or from the
Fire Chieffor emergency access without a connecting road. As the application for P-1 Preservation area
will have to be considered at a future City Council Session, these accesses could then be considered.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning
District Classification from R-20 Residential District with a PD -1-12 Overlay to P-1
Preservation District on property located at 2217 Mathews Green (GPIN
2404949948). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone a portion of property currently zoned PD -1-12
(R-20) to P-1, as required in the proffers of the Conditional Rezoning for the
entire parcel approved by City Council on August 22, 2006. As part of that
rezoning, the applicant proffered the dedication to the City of Virginia Beach the
portion of property proposed for rezoning to P-1.
■ Considerations:
The relevant proffers from the 2006 Conditional Rezoning are as follows:
PROFFER 10:
Grantor shall dedicate the area shown on the Conceptual Plan as "Open
Space / Preservation Area" (the Preservation Area") to the City of Virginia
Beach, no later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of the first building
permit within Grantor's development. The Preservation Area shall be
subject to restrictive covenants recorded which prohibit the use of such
area for any purposes other than open space use or passive recreational
uses, such as hiking trails, walking paths, or other similar uses which do
not detract from the forestral nature of the Preservation Area. The
restrictive covenants shall run with the land and be in full force and effect
for a period of at least fifty (50) years. The covenants shall become part of
the deed dedicating the Preservation Area to the City of Virginia Beach.
The covenants shall be approved by the City Attorney, or his designee.
PROFFER 11:
Grantor shall file and obtain approval of a rezoning petition to rezone the
Open Space Area to P-1 Preservation District, as defined in the CZO, prior
to the approval of any subdivision plat within Grantor's development or the
issuance of a building permit.

A secondary issue remaining from the 2006 Conditional Rezoning pertains to the
installation of an emergency gate where Kindling Hollow Road ends in the
adjacent residential neighborhood. This gate allows for emergency access
through the open space area of the proposed community, connecting with
Mathews Way. While this is not a requirement of the proffers of the 2006
rezoning, the applicant noted that it would be addressed at this point in the
development process. To provide for the safety and well-being of these adjoining
communities, the details for the provision of the emergency access way have
been agreed to, and thus this issue is satisfied.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it
fulfills a proffer of the August 22, 2006 rezoning, ensures the preservation of a
forested open space area, and there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request.

Item #3
Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C.
Change of Zoning District Classification
2217 Mathews Green
District 7
Princess Anne
September 12, 2007
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 3. It is the application of Mathews
Green Associates, L.L.C. This is an application for a Change of Zoning from R-20
Residential District with a PD -H2 Overlay to Conditional P-1 Preservation District on
property located at 2217 Mathews Green in the Princess Ann District. Welcome.
James Hogan: My name is James Hogan representing Mathews Green Associates.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Hogan.
James Hogan: We are in agreement with what the proffers stated on the application. We
do understand there are some issues concerning this gate at Kindling Hollow Road, but I
think that is an open discussion that will continue from this point to City Council.
Janice Anderson: Okay. It is my understanding that you are still going to work with that
gate issue but the rezoning, that would be straight rezoning on this?
James Hogan: Yes.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the
consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Don Horsley to review this
application.
Donald Horsley: Thank you Ms. Anderson: This piece of property was just recently
rezoned R-20 with a PD -H2 Overlay. And the applicant wishes to change the zoning
classification, a portion of it to P-1, which was required to get the Conditional Rezoning
on August 22, 2007. The part of the rezoning, the applicant proffered to dedicate the
portion of the P-1. So, this is just merely a housekeeping issue as part of the conditions
that were imposed on it in August of this year. The gate that the gentleman mentioned is
still in discussion but I think that is a very easy solution can be put to allowing access to
this preserved area. So, there was no opposition to this application so the Commission
thought it warranted the merits of being put on the consent agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Horsley. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion
to approve agenda item 3.

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

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

relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; 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

300 rental apartments within 12 buildings (18.2 units per acre).
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as part of the Primary
Residential Area and, specifically, part of the Military Highway Corridor. The long
term goal for the Military Highway Corridor is to replace the industrial activities
with other uses that are more compatible with the surrounding residential
neighborhoods. These may include a variety of higher density residential, office,
hotel and institutional uses (i.e. education, religion, recreation, health, etc.).
■ Considerations:
The proposed apartments include one bedroom, two bedroom, and three
bedroom units. Each apartment unit ranges from 798 square feet to 1,243
square feet in area. The 43 foot, 9 -inch (43'-9") tall apartment buildings are
dispersed throughout the center of site, and consist of traditional apartment
styling with Colonial style architectural elements. Exterior materials consist of
horizontal lapped siding, brick veneer, and architectural shingle roofing.
Parking is provided within a lot located in front of the apartment buildings. Ingress
and egress will be provided from Old Providence Road. A tot lot is situated within
the center of the apartment complex. A community clubhouse, pool, open space,
and picnic area is located near the apartment complex entrance off of Old
Providence Road. The applicant will enhance the existing water body located
along the western property line with the addition of a fountain and bridge to
encourage pedestrian traffic over and around the water body. The applicant also
intends to utilize the water body as the stormwater management facility. A portion
of the site along the eastern property line is located within the Chesapeake Bay
Preservation Area (CBPA). The majority of the CBPA is wooded. A pathway and
small portion of two (2) apartment buildings will be located within the protected
Kotarides Developers

CBPA; however, the applicant will not clear any of the existing trees from the
protected area. A 15 -foot wide landscape buffer including Category IV
landscaping and a six-foot opaque fence will be installed along property lines
which abut the business district.
There was no opposition to the application.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as part of the Primary Residential Area. The land use
policies reflect the importance of neighborhood character and its relationship to compatible land use and
traffic management, and focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic
value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the
established type, size, and relationship of land use, residential and non-residential, located in and around
these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development.
The Plan states that: "All development should incorporate environmentally sensitive design that protects
the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, incorporates crime prevention
principles and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, neighboring properties and
community." Page 179
The long term goal for the Military Highway Corridor is to replace the industrial activities with other uses
that are more compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. These may include a variety of
higher density residential, office, hotel and institutional uses (i.e. education, religion, recreation, health,
etc.).
Evaluation:
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the area. The
Comprehensive Plan indicates that the goal of this area is to promote redevelopment with a variety of
higher density residential, office, hotel and institutional uses that are compatible with surrounding
residential uses. The proposed rezoning is more compatible to the surrounding residential area than the
existing business zoning. The proposed density of 18.5 units to the acre as arranged on the site is
compatible with the residential area to the east and the multi -family developments to the south.
The quality of life for residents of the proposed development will be enhanced with recreational and
leisure opportunities located within the complex including a tot lot, walking path, swimming pool, picnic
shelters, gazebos, open space, and clubhouse with an exercise facility and kitchen.
The applicant is enhancing the site's natural resources with the addition of a fountain and scenic bridge
within and over the existing water body, and a pathway integrated throughout the site and the existing
wooded Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area on the eastern edge of the site.
Staff finds the proposed fencing along with a fifteen (15) foot Category IV landscape buffer located
between the proposed apartments and the existing commercial to the north an adequate buffer between
the two uses. Staff further finds that the existing infrastructure including roads, water, access for
KOTARIDES DEVELOPERS
Agenda Item 17
Page 4
emergency vehicles and schools will support the proposed development with the recommendations as
specified in the "Impact on City Services" section of this report. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of

Item #17
Kotarides Developers
Change of Zoning District Classification
920 South Military Highway
District 1
Centerville
September 12, 2007
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 17, Kotarides Developers. An application of
Kotarides Developers for a Change of Zoning District Classification from B-2
Community Business District to Conditional A-24 Apartment District on property located
at 920 South Military Highway, District 1, Centerville with 15 proffers.
Barry Knight: Welcome Ann. We would like to let you know that we have no noted
opposition but this is such a large project so if you could give us a brief synopsis of it,
that would give us a clear picture.
Ann Crenshaw: Yes. For the record Mr. Knight, Mr. Chairman, Ann Crenshaw, I'm at
the Virginia Beach office at Kaufman and Canoles. I have the pleasure of representing
Kotarides Developers this afternoon. Kotarides has been in the business along time.
They acquire, build, maintain and service their apartment complexes. They have over
1,700 apartment homes in the area, and have never sold one. So, they're in for the long
term and they're local folks. The site is 16.94 acres. It is currently a old driving range,
arcade, and a miniature golf facility. It is currently zoned B-2, and I'm grateful for the
exchange that took place with Mr. Bourdon's application because this indeed could be a
shopping center or a big box by -right. Instead my clients have proposed a residential
community. They have asked for an A-24 classification, solely for height purposes. We
have agreed to proffer no more than 18.5 units per acre. There will be twelve three-story
apartment complexes, 300 units including 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments. We have more
than adequate parking. The primary access will be on Old Providence Road. We have
worked extensively with staff to make sure that we have complied with Category IV
buffers. There will be very many amenities that were explained in detailed in the
informal. We have also attempted with this project to fulfill the community need for
workforce housing. We are providing the amenities that would go along with a
languorous apartment complex but we can provide housing for folks who have as little as
$36,000 income per year. And, the rents would be market. There are no subsidies. But,
in short, I will say that what we want to do is eliminate what we believe we're offering is
to generate less traffic then we could generate by -right with a B-2 use. We will be
eliminating large stadium lighting that is currently affects the neighbors. We hope to
perform a service by providing workforce housing that is attractive and an improvement
to the neighborhood.
Barry Knight: Ms. Crenshaw? You did say A-24 zoning?
Item #17
Kotarides Developers
Page 2
Ann Crenshaw: Yes. A-24 but we have proffered no more than 18.5 per unit. We
needed that for the extra height.
Barry Knight: Right. Thank you. Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: Did Mr. Blevins want to make a statement?
Ann Crenshaw: No. If I could just say one thing? We wrote approximately 18 civic
leagues, offered to meet individually. They did not seek to do that. We instead, had a
community meeting and since nobody really wanted to meet with us, we held one
anyway and invited all of these folks to come. We had a few folks appear but none of
whom who were in opposition to the projects.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Crenshaw about the project? Okay.
Thank you. Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: I would like to make a motion that it be approved.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve by Dot Wood and a second by
Kathy Katsias. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question.
Ed Weeden: By a vote of 11-0, the Board has approved the application of Kotarides
Developers.

GPIN NO. 1456-23-0589-000
B. Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of Virginia
Beach by petition of Grantor addressed to Grantee to change the zoning classification of the
Property from B-2 to Conditional A-24 Apartments. The proposed amendment is made pursuant
to the terms of the City Zoning Ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach, adopted April 18, 1988,
as amended and in effect on the date of this Agreement (the "City Zoning Ordinance").
C. Grantee's policy is to provide for the orderly development of land for various
purposes, including commercial purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation.
D. Grantor acknowledges that in order to prevent incompatible land use, reasonable
conditions governing the use of the Property, in addition to the regulations generally applicable
to land zoned A-24 Apartments as specified in the City Zoning Ordinance, are required to
address the project proposed in Grantor's rezoning application.
E. Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing, prior to the public hearing before
Grantee, as a part of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map and in addition to the
regulations specified in the City Zoning Ordinance for the A-24 Apartment zoning district,
reasonable conditions outlined in this Agreement related to the development and operation of the
Property. These conditions will be adopted as a part of the amendment to the Zoning Map
relative to the Property, and have a reasonable relation to the use of the Property as rezoned A-24
Apartment and are needed as a result of the rezoning.
F. The conditions outlined in this Agreement have been proffered by Grantor and
allowed and accepted by Grantee as a part of the amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance and
the Zoning Map. These conditions shall continue in full force and effect until a subsequent
amendment changes the zoning of the Property; provided, however, that such conditions shall
continue if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive implementation of a new or
substantially revised zoning ordinance of Grantee.
NOW, THEREFORE, Grantor, its heirs, successors, assigns, grantees and other
successors in title or interest to the Property, voluntarily and without any requirement by or
exaction from Grantee or its governing body and without any element or compulsion or quid pro
quo for zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit or subdivision approval, makes the following
declaration of conditions and restrictions governing the use and physical development and
operation of the Property, and covenants and agrees that this declaration and the further terms of
this Agreement shall constitute covenants running with the Property, which shall be binding
upon the Property, and upon all persons and entities claiming under or through the Grantor, its
heirs, successors and assigns, grantees and other successors in interest or title to the Property;
namely:
1. The Property shall be used for the purposes and uses permitted in the A-24
Apartment District. Grantor agrees to a density not to exceed 18.5 apartment units per acre for a
total number of apartments not to exceed 300 units. The maximum height of the buildings shall
not exceed forty-five (45) feet.
2. A subdivision plat approved by the City of Virginia Beach shall be duly recorded
to sever all that certain parcel of land leased by Goodrich and Associates to Seaboard Citizens
National Bank described in a Memorandum of Lease dated August 15, 1967, and recorded in the
