MAYOR OBERNDORF: Now, since that was looked at, now
there is another challenge on this
Agenda, and that will be the briefing on the Noise Ordinance,
and Mr. Stiles from the City Attorney's Office will be the
presenter. Welcome, Mr. Stiles.
MARK STILES: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Members of
Council, good afternoon. This is an
informational item for you. And the purpose of this
presentation is to give you some information regarding an
Ordinance revising the Noise Regulations in the City that I
think, with your agreement, will be presented to you for
formal action later this month.
As you know, the City has and has had since the early 1980's a
Noise Ordinance. It's currently Section 23-47 of the printed
Code. As currently written, this Noise Ordinance prohibits
unreasonably loud, disturbing, and unnecessary noise. It is
what is commonly referred to as the Reasonable Man Standard or
an Objective Reasonableness Standard. What that effectively
means is that any noise level that a reasonable person of
ordinary sensibilities would conclude as too loud under the
facts and circumstances that exist at the time that sound is
made is in violation of your existing Ordinance.
Now, this standard is a good standard, in the sense that it
provides flexibility for all kinds of fact patterns and
circumstances that might arise within the boundaries of our
city. It's particularly appropriate in a city such as ours
where we go everywhere from open farm land in the agricultural
areas of our city, to suburban areas, to some more urban
areas, and to our Resort Area, the Oceanfront. We have a wide
range of uses, some of which are mixed together, and it makes
sense to have an Ordinance that allows some flexibility that
still provides a standard by which conduct can be effectively
evaluated and judged.
We have, however, recently had a number of challenges to this
Ordinance; challenges that said on its face this Ordinance is
too vague. Those challenges have all been rejected by the
Courts. The Courts have said this is a perfectly workable
Ordinance. It's a perfectly Constitutional Ordinance, and
they've not, the Court has not, struck it down, despite being
given multiple opportunities to do so. But while we're
keeping the Ordinance on the books, we're not having the same
success with enforcing or getting convictions for violations
of the Ordinance. Because, while the Court says it's okay as
an Ordinance, the Court turns around, sometimes the very same
Judges turn around, and say "but I can't find on these facts
whether or not this Ordinance has, in fact, been violated, so
3
I'm not going to convict under it".
So, that has led my office, the City Attorney's office, to
work with the Police Department and other City staff to
investigate possible revisions to the Noise Ordinance. Our
research has indicated that there are essentially three types
of Noise Ordinances out there. There are Ordinances like our
Ordinance that are Objective Reasonableness Ordinances, the
Reasonable Man Ordinance, and that's all the provisions there
are. There are Ordinances out there in some localities that
rely on sound pressure levels or decibel meter readings for
determining whether or not there had been a violation. And
there are a number of jurisdictions that have a hybrid of
those two. It's a violation to make unreasonable noise, but
it's also a violation to exceed certain specified noise levels
in certain specified places at certain specified times.
What we have seen historically in Virginia is the use of the
Reasonable Man Objective Standard, which you currently have.
That is, giving way over time to some of the hybrid Ordinances
and there is even one case that I'm aware of or one locality
in Virginia that has now gone exclusively to a sound pressure
level or noise decibel limit, but only one. We've looked at
all of those, and the proposal we've come forward with is an
Ordinance that maintains the Reasonable Man Standard but
provides additional information for citizens, for Law
Enforcement, and for Judges, so that they can determine as a
citizen when their conduct violates this Reasonable Man
Standard for Law Enforcement, again, when that conduct crosses
the line, and specific factors that Judges can say "yes, this
is, in fact, a violation of the Ordinance, and this is a
citation that should be founded and a penalty imposed".
The Ordinance that we're proposing is based upon a Model
Ordinance that was prepared by the International Municipal
Lawyers Association, or IMLA. We have taken that Model
Ordinance and we have adapted it in some respects to make it
applicable to this jurisdiction. As I stated, the purpose of
the proposed changes are to maintain the Reasonable Man
Standard and the benefits, the flexibility that it provides,
and at the same time to provide additional information to Law
Enforcement, to the citizens, themselves, and to the Court in
making conviction decisions.
We are not proposing to you the use of decibel meters or
decibel limits for purposes of determining violations. There
are a number of reasons we're not proposing that to you. One,
most citizens don't have decibel meters, and most citizens
don't know what 65 decibels is, so they don't have any way of
conforming their conduct to what a Noise Ordinance that
21
specifies decibel meters would require.
A lot of times, when you get into discussions regarding Noise
Ordinances and how to regulate noise, the Noise Ordinance
violation is likened to speeding on highways, for example, and
a decibel meter is like in that respect to a radar gun that a
Police Officer would use to determine a violation. But
there's one notable difference; the speed limits are posted
along the highways you drive along, and as a driver you have
sitting in front of you a real-time readout on your dashboard
that tells you how fast or slow you're going so that you can
modify your conduct as you go to make sure that you're not
violating the law. That is not possible for the average
citizen under a decibel -based Ordinance.
The Police Department, who we've worked with again in making
this recommendation to you, has Law Enforcement concerns in
addition to that, and for that reason they join us in not
recommending to you a decibel -based Ordinance. One
enforcement, potential enforcement, issue that you may have,
decibel meters do not readily differentiate between sound
sources. They tell you what the sound pressure level is,
that's the technical term, but they're not as good at telling
you what the source of that sound is.
So, it's readily foreseeable where you would have a situation
that three or more commercial establishments, for example,
might be in operation, might be contributing to the overall
sound load in that area. And that sound load might exceed the
stated decibel maximum for that area at that time of day or
night, but how would the Police be able to determine the
relative contributions to that sound level that each of those
businesses made, and, therefore, be able to determine who to
issue the citation to? And even if they could determine who
to issue the citation to, the matter of proving the underlying
facts of that citation beyond a reasonable doubt in our
Circuit Court would be virtually impossible. So, there are
serious enforcement issues that also go into whether or not we
want to go with the decibel -based system.
We also must keep in mind the issue of cost, and that's not
the leading issue here, but it is an issue that you should be
aware of. How many decibel meters does the City of Virginia
Beach need? How much do they cost? Because we're not
proposing a decibel -based system, we have not gone out and
done all of that research, but some very brief research that I
have done suggests that a noise meter of the type that we
would need to use for Law Enforcement purposes can range
anywhere in cost from $350 to nearly $1,000. How many of
those are we going to have to buy? How will we calibrate them
5
so that we can use the results in Court proceedings? What is
the cost to train the officers who are going to use them, both
in terms of time of training and in terms of the actual
training cost, itself? These are all additional concerns
relating to the use of decibel meters.
And finally, someone might suggest to you that decibel meters
are more readily accepted by the Courts. That's not
necessarily true. We could point to a number of cases where
Ordinance based on decibel levels have also been struck down,
because there are a number of questions that have to be asked.
Where do you measure from? How long a response time do you
use? There are three different -- four different rating
scales for sound. Which one is appropriate? All of these are
traps for the unwary and opportunities for the ingenious
lawyer to come in and find a way to strike down the Ordinance
based on decibel levels. So, going to a decibel -level
Ordinance, I would suggest to you, does not buy you any
safety, in terms of enforceability of your Ordinance.
So, if we don't propose decibel meters and we want to continue
using a Reasonable Man Standard, what exactly are the noise
control standards that this new Ordinance would propose?
There are two separate operative sections in this Ordinance.
One would be Number 23-67. It's a general prohibition against
unreasonable noise. The second would be 23-68, which would
provide specific prohibitions that use tangible measurements
of some nature that would allow the Court to be able to look
at concrete facts and determine whether or not under specific
circumstances there have been violations.
Let's look first at the Proposed 23-67, and I think you all
have copies of this presentation in front of you, as well as a
copy of the Proposed Ordinance. As you can see, Proposed
Section 23-67 has sn "a" subpart and a "b" subpart. The "a"
subpart simply defines what the violation is, generally, and,
that is, "intentionally making continuing or causing or
allowing to be made any unreasonably loud or raucous noise or
any noise that unreasonably disturbs, injures, or harms the
comfort, peace, repose, of another citizen of ordinary
sensibility". Again, the standard formulation of the
Reasonable Man Test that is employed in so many different
context in the law. You've all heard of probable cause in
criminal prosecutions; that's a Reasonable Man Standard.
You've heard of -- well, there are several. I won't bore you
with law talk too much, but the Reasonable Man Objective
Standard is well written in the law, and this is in the Noise
Regulation area a pretty standard statement of it.
Subpart "b" is new and provides some very commonsense factors
C.
that a Court or Law Enforcement Officer or even a citizen in
trying to conform his conduct should look to and think about
when making a decision about whether or not he or she is
engaged in an activity in violation of this Ordinance. What
are the changes between this Proposed 23-67 and the existing
23-47? First of all, and it may not seem like a big issue,
but we have deleted the term "unnecessary noise". Some Courts
in other jurisdictions have found that the term "unnecessary
noise" is difficult to objectively define, and it's more of a
subjective issue, and, therefore, the term "unnecessary noise"
has been struck from Ordinances in other localities. We have
been able to keep that in our Ordinance, but just to avoid the
issue we would propose taking it out.
The other major change is the addition of that Subpart "b".
While the Courts utilize their commonsense in making judgments
every day, Judges want to be able to say "the Statute says
these are the things that I should consider, and in
considering these things on the facts presented to me, I find
as follows". So, they want a statement of the fact that they
should consider in a citation under the Noise Generally
Ordinance, and it makes sense.
The time of day, noise that's perfectly acceptable no one
would find unreasonable at three o'clock in the afternoon on a
Saturday would be patently unreasonable at three o'clock in
the morning on a Tuesday. What's the land use? Where is the
sound occurring? You know, sound in the middle of a four -acre
farm down in Pungo where there's not anyone else around
probably is not offensive to a reasonable person of ordinary
sensibilities but might well be at Town Center at four o'clock
in the afternoon when people are trying to do business. These
are commonsense factors that were not previously set out that
would be set out if you enacted this new Ordinance.
Let's talk a little bit about 23-68. This Section is entirely
new, and what you're looking at is a listing of specific
subparagraphs, or the details of specific subparagraphs, in
23-68, which would tie certain types of conduct to specific
tangible measurables. For example, the first line, "Vehicle
Horns", if you for no good reason at any time during the day
or night lay on your vehicle horn for ten consecutive seconds
without an emergency in progress, you're in violation of the
Ordinance. And that's all the Officer needs to know to write
you a ticket, and that's all the Judge needs to know to find
you guilty of the Ordinance; a specific measurable.
"Non -emergency Signaling Devices", the next line, more than
ten consecutive seconds an hour, a repeated noise that's not
of an emergency nature, it's a problem for the community
because it keeps recurring, there's no emergency that it's in
response to, it disturbs the peace, tranquility, and harm of a
reasonable person, but we make it clear that if it's more than
ten seconds per hour any time during the day or not, it's a
violation; again, a specific measurable. And you note over
here, for example, church bells might be an example of this,
but church bells are specifically exempt. Likewise, Public
Alert Systems, you know, I don't know -- I'm not quite old
enough to remember the Klaxons that used to go off when you
had the Air Raid Warnings or the Nuclear Bomb Tests, but that
type of testing device could be tested without violating the
Ordinance.
"Emergency Signaling Devices", car alarms, home alarms, you
need to turn it off if you're not actually being robbed. If
you leave it on for more than ten minutes, again, a specific
measurable; if you've got an emergency you're okay, but if you
don't and you leave it on for more than ten minutes in a
residential neighborhood, you've violated the Ordinance.
"Boom boxes, car stereos, other amplifying devices", musical
instruments, any time during the day or night, if it's louder
than necessary for you to hear and those who are voluntarily
with you and listening, it's a violation. But the specific
measurable here is, if it's audible from a distance of 50 or
more feet from the source it's a violation. Again, it's a
fact that can be clearly articulated and clearly established
by competent evidence. Again, that's a 24 -hour -a -day
restriction, but City events, for example, athletic events,
concerts, Beach Street, any City -sponsored event, or any event
for which the City issued a Special Events Permit, would be
exempted from that.
"Bars, nightclubs, restaurants, other commercial
establishments", again, you have a measurable. One of the
concerns that's been expressed is we don't know what a
violation is by some business owners. Here, we plainly say
after eleven o'clock at night, if you're a commercial
establishment, bar nightclub, restaurant, or otherwise, if the
sound you're creating in your business is plainly audible from
a distance of 50 feet or more beyond the boundaries of your
property, that's a violation; clear, concise, readily provable
or disprovable, clear guidance to the citizen, clear guidance
to the Police Officer, plainly establishable and refutable
facts for presentation before a Court.
"Noise Sensitive Areas", this is essentially a recodification
of another Section that already exists in our Code that says
if you make noise within 200 feet of a school, a place of
worship, or a hospital, and that noise interferes with the
operations, for example, if somebody's outside playing symbols
I
next to the window at school and the teacher can't teach,
that's a violation of this subdivision or sub -provision.
"Loud Speakers, Public Address Systems", I don't expect you'll
see that very often, except at athletic events, which are
exempted; again, that's a time-limited provision, eleven
o'clock at night to seven o'clock in the morning. But if
Landstown is playing Salem and they go to seven overtimes, if
they even have overtime in high school now, and it goes to
eleven -fifteen, that's exempted out.
"Construction Equipment", the Ordinance identifies certain
construction equipment that's very loud and simply says that
that equipment is not to be operated in residential areas
between nine p.m. and seven a.m., except in the event of an
emergency. So, here you have some specific provisions that
complement the general provision, much like other
jurisdictions might use a decibel meter provision to
complement the general provision, gives you some measurables,
gives the Court some measurables and some guidance as to what
you're saying would and would not be a violation.
Now, we've talked about two sections. How would a citation be
written? Some conduct could violate both 23-67 and 23-68.
In those circumstances, what we would expect to see, it could
be written under either section, but typically what you would
expect to see is that if a violation was impacted by a
specific provision of 23-68, it would be written under that
provision so that you would have that tangible evidence that
would be readily proven or disproved. But in cases where
there wasn't a violation under 23-68 but still there's a clear
case of unreasonably loud and raucous noise, you'd write that
under 23-67, and usually in those cases you're going to have
complaints from citizens; it's not going to be a close call.
That would be the intent and the expectation.
So, if a citation is written and if the individual is found
guilty, what is the penalty? Under 23-47, the current
Ordinance, violation of the Noise Ordinance is a Class 4
Misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $250.
Under the Proposed Ordinance, a First Offense would be a Class
4 Misdemeanor, which is -- I'm sorry, a Class 3 Misdemeanor,
which is punishable by a fine of up to $500, and a Second or
Subsequent Offense within one year would be a Class 2
Misdemeanor, which, as you can see, is punishable by up to
$1,000 and a jail term of up to six months.
Now, those are maximums. We would not expect that except
under a case with egregious facts the Court to impose these
maximums, but the Court cannot impose any punishment greater
0
than what your Code allows. And if you compare what we have
here with what other jurisdictions do, you will see that the
trend is consistent with what is being proposed. In Norfolk,
violation of their Noise Ordinance is a Class 2. First
Offense is a Class 2. In Chesapeake, it's a Class 1. A year
imprisonment is the max in Chesapeake for violating their
Noise Ordinance. Portsmouth, what we currently have, a Class
4. Suffolk, Class 2. Richmond, Class 2. Roanoke, Class 2.
Fairfax County, $1,000 fine, up to thirty days, when you
violate their sound levels.
So, while at first brush, this may seem harsh to you, I
recognize that it might, I'm just telling you that while it's
your decision this is not out of line with what other
jurisdictions around us are doing. So, I've run through this
pretty quickly, because I know you've had two other briefings
before me. I'm happy to answer any questions that you have.
Otherwise, I'll wrap up and let you move on to the next thing.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. Villanueva had his hand up,
followed by Mrs. Henley, who has hers
up.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: Thank you, Mayor.
Let me ask you, Mark, in your research, did you -- let me back
up a little bit. As we redevelop our City, particularly at
the Oceanfront and with Town Center, we're having more
urbanized core areas. How do other cities implement specific
Noise Ordinances? For instance, in New York City, when you
have the hustle and bustle of everything, and you've got
restaurants and nightclubs intermixed with residential condos
and apartments and stuff, how do they work in the Noise
Ordinances in their localities?
MARK STILES: It really varies locality by
locality. I just so happen to know
that New York does use decibel levels. But by the same
token, I also know that Miami and Miami Beach use the
Ordinance that we essentially have on the books right now.
So, it really varies, depending on where you look. Certainly,
there are advantages and drawbacks going either way, and
certainly we will go the way the will of this Council tells us
to go, but I think you've got to look at the individual
characteristics of each city in determining what makes the
most sense.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: What I was getting at was, is there a
locality that specifically crafts
Noise Ordinances for how everything is zoned? For instance,
10
like at the Oceanfront where we have different zonings, and
we've got a good mix of commercial and residential, obviously,
if you're moving into that area, you're going to know you're
in the mix of things versus if you're in Pungo and you're out
on the farm and that kind of thing, I just think the way you
presented everything it just seems so broad and that we could
do a little bit better with regards to crafting these Noise
Ordinances to specific zoning areas, particularly since our
City's redeveloping in such a way.
And then, my second question would be, where are most of the
noise ticket's written? Are they in the Oceanfront or are
they near the Amphitheater, or are they near places where
there's high noise area?
MARK STILES: I honestly can't answer that. I
don't know if Captain Zucaro can or
not.
CAPTAIN ZUCARO: I don't have that data readily
available. Certainly, the
Oceanfront, the Resort Area, contribute to a lot of the noise
issues, particularly in the summer months, which is different
than the residential and quite different than the rural
section. I can certainly do some research and provide that
for Council's review.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: That would be good, because I guess
it was today or yesterday's paper we
read about Hunt Club Forest, and there's a Commercial
Application amongst a Residential Area, and we permitted those
folks to house that operation, but, you know, those residents
that are nearby often hear the ghosts and ghouls screaming; we
hear a number of complaints. I've run into a number of folks
that live in the Mayflower near the 31st Street Hotel and
often talk to me about the noise and the conflict there. And
I just see the Town Center, as we, you know, that place
thrives more with the outdoor concerts we're going to be
putting out there in the plaza and those kinds of things, I
see some conflicts. So, if we're going to do this, I'd like
for us to get more specific and craft it better where it's
done in such a way that it reflects the zoning.
MARK STILES: Typically, decibel meter restrictions
are based on zoning, where you have a
mix of uses within a zoning classification, such as Resort
where you have residences, boarding, places of lodging, as
well as other commercial uses all tightly together, that
actually is one of the things that makes it more difficult to
be precise with your decibel level limits. And that's why,
11
one of the reasons, that's one of the reasons we suggest that
instead you have a limit that says how far away can you hear
the sound after eleven o'clock at night. But certainly, if
it's Council's desire for us to look at a decibel based
limitation, as opposed to the Reasonable Man Standard with
these other modifications, we can come back to you probably in
a relatively short time frame and do that, if that's the will
of the Council.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Well, I have a number of Council
People that have indicated, starting
with Mrs. Henley, followed by Mr. Uhrin, and then
Mrs. McClanan, I'm trying to keep a current list of folks who
have a -- Mrs. Henley?
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Well, the decibel matter, as you
described, has a lot of down sides,
but it also kind of leaves it, you know, it's subjective, like
noise is in the eye of the beholder. What's noise to one
person may be a pleasing sound to somebody else. But then, as
what Ron was saying about using it by zoning categories, noise
is one of the factors that has a spillover effect; it's not
confined to just the confines of the property on which it
occurs.
But this was a topic at the Advisory Commission Meeting last
night, when there had been some complaints about some 4th of
July fireworks, things that were done on private property.
And I guess, maybe, in the rural area, noise travels farther,
particularly at night, and it might be not noise to some folks
who are enjoying it but noise to others who are, and I don't
know how we decide these things. When does it become a
disturbance to somebody? Just say, "Oh, you're a grouch. Any
reasonable person wouldn't be objecting." I'm not sure how we
decide.
MARK STILES: Well, I think the violation has to be
under the General Ordinance pretty
severe, such that reasonable people would agree, the finder of
fact, whether it be the Jurist, the Judge, in other words, or
the Jury would have to agree that any reasonable person would
agree this is beyond the pale. The situation, you can think
of a thousand different situations.
What about the guy who's out using a chain saw in his
backyard? That chain saw is going to exceed any reasonable
decibel level limitation, but if he's cutting down a tree that
was damaged in a storm hours ago that's about to fall on his
house, that's still not unreasonable noise under those facts
and circumstances. That's a clearcut case. But what the
12
Reasonableness Standard allows you to do is to take all those
factors into account, and, again, you're only going to get a
finding of guilt for one of these violations where it is clear
beyond a reasonable doubt under the law that this is
unreasonable beyond any question.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Seems like it would have to be an
extreme situation, but our residents
are going to expect us to apply it in more of a not extreme
situation. So, I don't know how we decide this whole thing.
MARK STILES: And, Mrs. Henley, I'll tell you,
we've been looking at this issue for
at least months, and I'm going to say more than almost two
years, I believe it is. And it's incredibly complex and
difficult, so any suggestions that Council has for us we're
happy to listen to. This is just the best recommendation we
can make to you at this point based on the information we
know. We're certainly happy to consider anything that any
other stakeholder or the Council would like to bring to the
table for us to consider.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. Uhrin, and then Mrs. McClanan.
COUNCILMAN UHRIN: Thank you, Madam Mayor.
I certainly don't think that I would recommend going to a
decibel level at all. I think the points that you made are
well taken. I think that in terms of handling the bars and
the nightclubs, the restaurants that have life entertainment
or amplified music, this handles it very well. It would seem
to me that the Police Department can use the 50 feet, measure
it out, and they can actually identify a specific noise, a
specific sound that's coming from an establishment. I would
see that that would be a great advantage to them. I like the
fact that it's already -- it's limited to the times that you
have there.
I would like to point out that four of those parks that we do
have entertainment on in the Resort Area, they are all
specifically limited to the hours of operation that they can
do, and none of them, to my knowledge, exceed the eleven p.m.
time period, and during the week I think that a lot of them
are tighter than that. But Ron's point, there may be other
opportunities that your staff may be able to brainstorm on in
the 23-68 Section that can actually identify additional
issues, maybe some that Barbara would be concerned about,
probably the fireworks would probably be better than illegal
fireworks. I mean, there's already an Ordinance for that.
13
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: But then when they become legal and
they can, you know --
COUNCILMAN UHRIN: Permitted?
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Yes. What one person doesn't find
objectionable, somebody else does, so
that's really hard to do.
COUNCILMAN UHRIN: If they're permitted, then that just
seems like we would have that
opportunity to get that taken care of. But that's neither
here nor there, whether that's the direction to do. But, I
guess, in short, my suggestion would be that maybe we beef up
that particular Section, and there probably are other
opportunities to be specific, which would give a Judge the
opportunity to really rule upon the specifics of whatever the
violation was.
MARK STILES: Yes, sir.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mrs. McClanan?
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: Well, I think this is a difficult
situation, and I think we're going to
see where we're putting a lot of residential development in
neighborhoods where it hasn't been before. Because I've
always handled this when they start calling me about the bars
in my District, you know, a woman calls and says "the
weather's nice and they're opening the back door. What are
you going to do about it"? Well, I either call the Police and
we go over together, and we say "look, you're going to close
this back door after a certain time of night, if you're going
to stay open so late;" and they do.
I've been wondering for years how this didn't bother people at
the Beach and other places in the city, because people over in
my neighborhood, after a certain time, they like to sleep, you
know, if they live in a house and the bar is behind them. And
these neighborhood bars were put there years ago, and they're
there to stay, and the neighbors are there to stay, and I
don't like participating in too many fights and arguments.
I've taken people to the bars and we've sat in there and run
people off. Take a bunch of older women into a bar where
there are a lot of young men, and I'll guarantee you they'll
get up and leave.
But Ron mentioned a couple of things that I've had complaints,
for instance, down at the Mayflower because the sound down at
the Beach apparently does carry up more, far more
14
significantly than I ever realized. I've never been -- the
people that live down there, they hear it, and it's the people
who hear the noise. And I remember when we opened the soccer
field, they had decibel meters out there, the people that were
residents, and they could tell you what the Noise Levels were.
And so, the City may not have them, but some of these meters
are within a category the citizens can afford and they learn
how to use them.
MARK STILES: Certainly. I'm not saying a citizen
can't afford to buy one. I'm just
saying that most citizens won't.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: No, they won't, but it depends on how
uncomfortable they get with the
situation. So, you've hit on a lot of really good points, and
I think it's going to have to be up to the Council as to how
we deal with it. I've never known, for instance, in the
cities in this area how many of them do use decibel levels in
their determination with noise problems. Occasionally, when
things appear in the paper, you can't really tell from the
analysis that's put there.
But I'm impressed with the degree that you looked at this and
you thought about it. And I know you all are faced with the
same problems, because occasionally when I talk to people who
live down there, they mention to me, and it's different
depending on who you talk to. But as more residential units
are built down there, I think you're going to find more
problems, because where people live and where they visit for
their entertainment, they tend to have a different standard.
MARK STILES:
Right.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: So, I just need to think about this a
little bit better, Mayor, including
in context with all of the things that we've heard over the
years from different neighborhoods and different people. It
has some interesting ramifications, I think.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: What Mrs. McClanan didn't tell you is
when she goes away they call me.
MARK STILES: Part of this thought process was
trying to avoid those disputes so you
didn't get those calls. And I'm sure this is not an
all-encompassing solution, but, quite frankly, there has been
a lot of time spent with it. And, again, we would welcome any
ideas that you have to make it better. We'll certainly be
happy to look at those.
15
MAYOR OBERNDORF: We thank you. Mr. Villanueva wants
to have one more.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: I'm sorry, Mayor.
Captain, I think it would nice for everyone to get that data
around the table so that they can see where the areas are more
affected to see that there's high -noise incidents in one area
versus another. Then not to make light of the situation, but,
Mark, where do Ice Cream trucks fit into all of this?
MARK STILES: They probably come under, if we can
go back to the chart, they probably
fall under Non -emergency Signaling Devices; so they've got to
be careful. I think they can blow intermittently, but they
can't go ten seconds, then, you know, wait a second, ten
seconds, etcetera, etcetera.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: But you know that doesn't happen,
Mark.
COUNCILMAN UHRIN: Gives.them ten seconds per hour.
MARK STILES: No, ten consecutive --
COUNCILMAN UHRIN: Lot of business.
MARK STILES: -- ten consecutive seconds per hour.
ROD INGRAM: Depending on if they've got a speaker
and it's playing music, that might be
a Sound Amplifying Device that would come under the
"unreasonably disturbing or audible more than 50 feet from the
source".
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: But every kid in town hopes they can
hear it more than 50 feet away so
they can go get money.
MARK STILES: And certainly, the ice cream vendor
hopes that they can so they can go
get money.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: Are there Court cases right now,
pending, challenging our Ordinances?
MARK STILES: There is a case that is still pending
that challenged both the facial
validity of the Ordinance and the Ordinance, as applied. The
16
Court has ruled that the Ordinance as written is a valid
Ordinance and does not violate any Constitutional provisions
but has left open for a trial whether or not the Ordinance has
been, quote, "selectively enforced".
Now, one of the ideas behind this chart, and the concept
behind this chart is, if you're 50 feet, if you're at the
Mayflower and it's eleven -fifteen at night and you can still
hear sound coming from that stage, it's a violation, and it's
clearcut, and there's no question, and a citation should
issue. If you're 50 feet from a business in the Resort Area
after eleven o'clock, there should be no issue. The point I'm
trying to make here is, the intendment of these specific
provisions is to help the Police Department not have to face
challenges of selective enforcement but to do so in a manner
that doesn't create a bunch of other enforcement problems,
such as the ones I have described. So, that's one of the
concerns that this tries to address.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Obviously, there is great interest by
Members of the Council, and if you
all could make yourselves available when they want to ask
questions and get some of these things answered and resolved.
I really thank you for the hard work you've put in. This is
obviously not just a spur-of-the-moment job. You've done a
lot of research.
By the way, I just signed a letter this afternoon telling
someone that the vendors of ice cream in neighborhoods wasn't
allowed to ring a bell or have music; am I wrong? I mean,
that letter was prepared by staff for me to sign. I don't
want to send something out.
ROD INGRAM: That is correct in Virginia Beach.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Okay, good. I don't know whether I'm
for or against it. I just didn't
want to give the wrong information. Thank you very much.
MARK STILES: Thank you.
(whereupon, the discussion of this matter was
concluded.)

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution Referring to the Planning Commission Ordinances
Amending the City Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan and
Official Zoning Map re 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone, Interfacility Traffic
Area and Redevelopment in Air Installations Compatible Use Zones
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background: In a joint Navy -City Statement of Understanding issued after the
Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), the City agreed to involve the Navy in
land use decisions at an early stage of the application process. Since then, the City and
Navy have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), pursuant to which a
committee consisting of City Staff and NAS Oceana representatives jointly review
discretionary development applications for property located within Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones. Although the City's AICUZ Overlay Ordinance does not apply
to property in the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone, the MOU provides that the MOU
Committee reviews applications involving property located within the 65-70 dB DNL
Noise Zone.
Since the inception of the MOU review process, City staff and Navy
representatives have jointly developed proposed standards governing discretionary
development applications in the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone. Those standards are
contained in ordinances amending the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan
and official zoning map. The ordinances must be considered by the Planning
Commission prior to final action by the City Council.
■ Considerations: The Resolution refers to the Planning Commission proposed
amendments to the City Zoning Ordinance, the Comprehensive Plan and the official
zoning map. The CZO amendments establish standards for discretionary development
in the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone and the Interfacility Traffic Area and for redevelopment
on all property within the AICUZ footprint. The Comprehensive Plan amendments
reflect the concepts embodied by the CZO amendments, and the zoning map
amendments delineate sub -areas within the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone in I which
different development standards apply
■ Public Information: Advertisement as a normal agenda item. The package of
amendments was the subject of a public City Council briefing on November 13, 2007. If
the resolution is adopted, the amendments would be the subject of advertised public
hearings before both the Planning Commission and the City Council
0 Recommendations: Adoption of Resolution.

Introduction
Page 13
A strong military presence in the community
In 2004, the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Norfolk joined with the Navy and
the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission to craft a regional Joint Land Use
Study. This study, adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan, was approved in May of
2005 by the regional JLUS Policy Committee and all participating cities. It addresses
issues related to land use compatibility and clarifies the strategic and operational
objectives of the participating jurisdictions and the Navy. It also embodies a series of
recommendations regarding policies, regulations and programs designed to balance local
government's land use planning responsibilities and the military's operational readiness
objectives.
Since 2005, the City has adopted and refined a series of Oceana Land Use Conformity
plans, policies and ordinances. These amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Ordinance provide greater land use conformity with military operation
requirements. Further, administrative procedures outlined in a `Memorandum of
Understanding' are in place and have significantly increased the Navy's participation in
the process of reviewing and commenting on pending discretionary developments within
AICUZ affected areas. See map below that outlines noise zones accident potential zones
and special areas of review including the Resort Area, Interfacility Traffic Area and sub-
areas within the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone.
The City Council also created the Oceana Land Use Conformity Committee in 2006 to
oversee progress in this area and to recommend ways to reduce the amount of non-
conforming development around NAS Oceana - assuring that such actions do not
adversely impact affected neighborhoods.
The City's has also made significant progress toward the purchase from willing sellers
of qualified residential properties located in the Accident Potential Zone 1/Clear Zone
and the Interfacility Traffic Area.
These measures demonstrate the city's commitment to retain NAS Oceana as the Navy's
east coast Master Jet Base by maximizing land use conformity while doing so in a
manner that respects the integrity of established neijzhborhoods.

Primary Residential Area
General Booth Boulevard Corridor
Page 103
South General Booth Boulevard Corridor
General Booth Boulevard is the primary road arterial serving the easternmost part of the
Courthouse/Sandbridge Planning Area, north of the Green Line. Three distinctly
different land use nodes exist along this arterial roadway: the Dam Neck Node; the
Corporate Landing Area Node; and the Nimmo Church Node.
Along this corridor and especially within these nodes development proposals must be
consistent with the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance provisions that and should not contribute
to strip commercial development, sprawl, or any disorderly arrangement of uses. Of
particular importance is the need for future development in this corridor area to achieve a
minimum reasonable density or intensity to be consistent with the provisions of the City
AICUZprovisions and infer- to protect and enhance the character of existing
neighborhoods. Such residential development should include affee workforce
housing units.
Page 106
Nimmo Parkway / General Booth Boulevard Intersection Area
Future land use, site design and building architecture should complement the historic
character of this area as defined by Nimmo Church. No structure in this area should
exceed the 60' height of the Nimmo Church steeple. The tract on the northeast corner of
Nimmo Parkway and General Booth Boulevard should preserve and integrate into the site
design the historic Hickman House, an 18th Century tavern. The portion of the parcel on
which the house is situated and the surrounding property is suitable for a range of
compatible non-residential uses including neighborhood office, a quality
restaurant and limited retail uses. The site and building design must respect and
complement the integrity of the Hickman House. There should be no more than one
ingress point on General Booth Boulevard and one on Nimmo Parkway.
The tract on the southeast corner of Nimmo Parkway and General Booth Boulevard is
planned for neighborhood office use for parcels located along General Booth Boulevard
and single-family residential use behind the office use at densities compatible with the
existing residential development in this area. Ipos'bo °:mss g �� sed
"fir � r�.,Y.,
single fawAly deveiepment should eewiee4 to the existing single family area te the east.
Vehicular access for proposed development should be limited to no more than one point
on either Nimmo Parkway or General Booth Boulevard.

An attractive low -intensity and non-residential plan of development is recommended for

Princess Anne /Transition Area
Page 142-A
Interfacility Traffic Area
The western part of the Transition Area, comprising the 65 dB DNL or greater noise
zones, is known as the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA). It is an area subject to frequent
military jet flyovers due to its location along a direct flight path between Naval Air
Station Oceana and ^ hefaa4e Landing Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress. As such,
land use planning policies have been established for the ITA and that restrict additional
residential developmentbeyend that allowed by right. i many eases, e ally � r
to no more that one lot per 15
acres of developable land. Further, these policies recognize appropriate development
opportunities for those non-residential uses and align with the city's Oceana Land Use
Conformity Program, the Air Installations Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) provisions and
general planning principles as outlined in this Comprehensive Plan. It is recommended
that a master plan for the ITA be conducted to provide more land use planning guidance
regarding particular subareas.
In an effort to reduce future incompatible development, the City has purchased a number
of properties from willing sellers in the ITA. As of fall of 2007, over $3 Million have
been used for this purpose In addition the U.S. Navy has received federal approval to
aivropriate of over $3 Million to advance land use conformity goals through voluntary
purchase of property located in the ITA.

VI. Land Use Recommendations
These general recommendations apply to all Sub -Areas:
2. Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) and Accident Potential Zone (APZ):
New development or redevelopment should not include any housing, hotel or other uses
that may be deemed by the city to be incompatible within applicable noise zones or APZ's.
In further effort to address the U.S. Navy's AICUZ objectives and those of the City's
Oceana Land Use Conformitypolicies, residential densities proposed for developments
within the Princess Anne Corridor Study Sub -Areas should not exceed those that exist
within surrounding neighborhoods.

39 The amendments effectively provide that the alternative residential development option is
40 not available for agriculturally-zoned property within the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA),
41 effectively limiting residential development on such property to one (1) dwelling unit per fifteen
42 (15) acres of developable land, as provided in City Zoning Ordinance Section 401.

57
58 Sec. 1801. Purpose and intent.
59
60 The purpose of this article is to regulate, in a manner consistent with the rights of
61 individual property owners and the requirements of military operations at Naval Air
62 Station (NAS) Oceana, development of uses and structures that are incompatible with
63 military operations; to sustain the economic health of the city and Hampton Roads
64 Region; to protect and preserve the public health, safety and welfare from the adverse
65 impacts associated with high levels of noise from flight operations at NAS Oceana and
66 the potential for aircraft accidents associated with proximity to airport operations; and to
67 maintain the overall quality of life of those who live, work and recreate in the City of
68 Virginia Beach.
69
70 Sec. 1802. Findings.
71
72 The city council hereby finds that:
73
74 (a) Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana was first established as an auxiliary airfield
75 in 1943 and was designated as a major Navy jet air base in the 1950s. It is now one of
76 the largest Navy air bases in the country and is the Master Jet Base for the Navy's
77 Atlantic Fleet. NAS Oceana is a vital component in the architecture of the Defense
78 Department's joint service method of operational planning and execution and in the
79 newly -emerging inter -agency approach to meeting homeland defense requirements;
80
81 (b) NAS Oceana is the single largest employer in the City of Virginia Beach. In
82 2003, it had a gross annual payroll of over seven hundred fifty million dollars
83 ($750,000,000.00) and spent another four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000.00) for
84 goods and services. In that year, over twelve thousand (12,000) personnel, comprised
85 of nearly nine thousand eight hundred (9,800) military and over two thousand five
86 hundred (2,500) civilian employees, were employed there. Most of those employees live
87 within the community, infusing additional benefits into the local economy, primarily
88 through spending and spousal employment salaries. When considering the personal
89 impact of the military in the community, the economic benefit exceeds one billion dollars
90 ($1,000,000,000.00) annually;
91
2
92 (c) There are more than thirty thousand (30,000) acres of land in areas within
93 the 70-75 dB DNL or >75 dB DNL Noise Zones and approximately 16,500 acres of land
94 within the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone. Approximately four thousand, twe three hundred
95 (4,200 4,300) acres of this land is encumbered by easements or restrictive covenants
96 that limit the uses of the land to those that are not incompatible with flight operations
97 arising out of NAS Oceana;
98
99 (d) Since the installation's inception, development of a type deemed
100 incompatible under the Navy's AICUZ Program has occurred, such that the Navy has
101 voluntarily modified flight arrival and departure procedures, thereby resulting in flight
102 procedures and training that do not replicate actual aircraft carrier operating procedures.
103
104 (e) In August 2005, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission
105 added to the list of installations to be closed or realigned the recommendation to realign
106 NAS Oceana by relocating the Atlantic Fleet's East Coast Master Jet Base to Cecil Field
107 in Jacksonville, Florida if, among other things, the cities of Virginia Beach and
108 Chesapeake fail to enact and enforce legislation to prevent further encroachment of
109 NAS Oceana by the end of March 2006 by adopting zoning ordinances that require the
110 governing bodies to follow Air Installations Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ) guidelines
111 in deciding discretionary development applications for property in noise level 70 dB day
112 night average noise level (DNL) or greater;
113
114 (f) The closure or realignment of NAS Oceana would have serious adverse
115 economic consequences to the city and the region; and
116
117 (g) In 2004 and 2005, the City of Virginia Beach, along with the cities of Norfolk
118 and Chesapeake, joined with the Navy and the Hampton Roads Planning District
119 Commission to craft a regional joint land use study (JLUS). Among the
120 recommendations of the JLUS was that the city adopt an ordinance applicable in all
121 noise zones greater than 65 dB DNL to help prevent encroachment at NAS Oceana.
122 The JLUS was accepted by resolution of the city council in May of 2005 and the city
123 council directed that appropriate ordinances implementing the recommendations of the
124 JLUS be brought forward for its consideration.

(c) Special re_gulations in the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone. The following-
regulations
ollowingregulations shall apply to discretionary development applications for residential uses on

223 use of such property at the lowest density that is reasonable.
224
225 (d) Redevelopment. The provisions of this section shall not apply to
226 discretionary development applications for the redevelopment of property where the
227 proposed dwelling unit density is the same as or lower than the actual dwelling unit
228 density existing at the time the application is submitted.
COMMENT
The substantive amendments to this section are in subsections (c) and (d).
Subsection (c) provides different standards for granting or denying discretionary
development applications for residential uses within the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone according to the
sub -area within that Noise Zone in which the subject property lies.
Two points must be noted: first, with one unlikely -to -occur exception (outdoor music shells
and amphitheatres), the only uses that are deemed incompatible under the OPNAV Instruction in
the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone are residential uses, which include all types of dwellings,
hotels/motels, trailer parks and dormitories. For that reason, the proposed development
restrictions in the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone address only residential development. Second, the
sub -areas themselves will be shown both on the City's zoning map and on a map in the
Comprehensive Plan as discrete areas within the 65-70 dB DNL noise contour (ordinances adding
the sub -areas to the Plan and the zoning map are being brought forward concurrently with this
ordinance).
The standards for granting discretionary development applications in the 65-70 dB DNL
Noise Zone are increasingly stringent in each higher -numbered sub -area, as follows:
In Sub -area 1 (the portion of the Resort Area within the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone),
discretionary development applications for residential uses may be approved only if the City
Council finds that they meet all applicable criteria of the City Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
In Sub -area 2, such applications may be approved only if the City Council finds that the
proposed development is at a density similar to or lower than that of surrounding properties having
a similar use and no greater than recommended by the Comprehensive, and that it conforms to the
applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. Sub -area 2 generally includes the portion of the
65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone from Rudee Inlet south to Indian River Road and west to Princess Anne
Road near the former TPC course.
In Sub -area 3, the most restrictive area, the same standards apply as in the 70-75 dB DNL
and >75 dB DNL Noise Zones, i.e., no discretionary development application for a residential use
may be approved if there is any reasonable non-residential use of the subject property. If no such

use exists, the City Council may allow the proposed use of such property at the lowest density that
is reasonable. Sub -area 3 includes essentially the remainder of the 65-70 dB DNL Noise Zone,
except for the portion within the Interfacility Traffic Area (which is addressed in Section 1806
below) and an area south of Indian River Road comprised almost exclusively of land in the
Agricultural Reserve Program or on which development is severely constrained by environmental
conditions.
Another significant change made by the proposed ordinance concerns redevelopment for
residential use. Subsection (d) exempts from the provisions of Section 1804 discretionary
development applications for residential uses when the application seeks the same or a lower
density than the existing density on the property. Thus, for example, if a rezoning application
seeking to redevelop property would, if granted, result in the same or a lower number of residential
dwelling units on the same property than actually exist at the time the application is made, the
AICUZ Overlay Ordinance would not apply.
Sec. 1805. Sound attenuation.
Sound attenuation measures shall be incorporated in any use or structure
located in the ►e+r ^, 5 65-70 dB DNL, 70-75 dB DNL or >75 dB DNL Noise Zones in
accordance with the requirements of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.

322 in such applications to the fullest extent allowed by law.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize a Temporary Encroachment into a portion of the City
right of way known as 52nd Street, for property owner, Kathleen Magarity.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
Kathleen Magarity has requested permission to construct and maintain a portion
of a set of concrete steps, upon a portion of the City's right of way known as 52nd
Street, located at the front of 221 52nd Street, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
■ Considerations:
City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachment and has recommended
approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Agreement.
The proposed concrete steps will replace the existing concrete steps at the
residence which are hazardous due to their steep descent from the residence to
the street level. Also, the proposed concrete steps will encroach less into the
right of way than the existing steps, thus reducing the encroachment in this area.
■ Public Information:
Advertisement of City Council Agenda
■ Alternatives:
Approve the encroachment as presented, deny the encroachment, or add
conditions as desired by Council.
■ Recommendations:
Approve the request subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
■ Attachments:
Ordinance, Agreement, Plat, Pictures and Location Map
Recommended Action: Approval of the ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: In the matter of closing, vacating and discontinuing a portion of that
certain street known as "15' x 50' PORTION OF ALLEY TO BE CLOSED (750 SQ.
FT.)" as shown on that certain plat entitled "STREET CLOSURE PLAT PORTION
OF 15' ALLEY ADJACENT TO LOTS 1 & 13 BLOCK 20 CROATAN BEACH M. B. 24
P. 37 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA" District 6 — Beach.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant, Beach Investment Corp., requests the closure,
discontinuance and abandonment of an unimproved alley so it may
incorporate the right-of-way into its adjoining residential lots. The fifteen
(15) foot wide platted alleyway runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean between
Lots 1 and 13 of Block 20 in Croatan Beach.
■ Considerations:
Similar requests to close alleys within this block have been granted during
the past 15 years. The zoning history map within the attached staff report
identifies the specific properties that were granted street closures for the
alleyway.
The portion of the alley requested for closure is one of the few remaining
City -owned portions of the alleyway along this block. The Viewers met and
determined that the proposed closure will not result in a public
inconvenience; therefore, they recommend closure of the right-of-way.
City Council has adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped right-
of-ways to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. All funds
generated from such closures are directed to a Croatan Beach Access
account and ultimately the funds collected are to be used by the City to
purchase additional public accesses to the beach in the Croatan area.
Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
closure will not result in any public inconvenience and there was no
opposition to the closure.
Beach Investment Corporation
Page 2 of 2
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding
ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the
City shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of
City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City
Council. Copies of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines
to incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcels. The plat must
be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-
way proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility
companies indicate that there are no private utilities within the right-of-
way proposed for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements
satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If
the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not
approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-
way this approval shall be considered null and void.

Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as Primary Residential. 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.
Evaluation:
The portion of the alley requested for closure is one of the few remaining City -owned portions of the
alleyway along this block. The Viewers met and have determined that the proposed closure will not result
in a public inconvenience; therefore, they recommend closure of the right-of-way. The request is
compatible with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations as other portions of the alley have also
been closed by individual homeowners. City Council has adopted a policy aimed at disposing of
undeveloped right-of-ways to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. All funds generated
from such closures are directed to a Croatan Beach Access account and ultimately the funds collected
are to be used by the City to purchase additional public access to the beach in the Croatan area. The
proposed street closure is recommended for approval with the following conditions.
CONDITIONS
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee.
The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding
Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Copies
of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed area
into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street
closure approval.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way proposed for closure.
Preliminary comments from the utility companies indicate that there are no private utilities within the
right-of-way proposed for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility
company must be provided.
4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions
within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and
the final plat is not approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way this
approval shall be considered null and void.
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.

CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 6. This is an application of Beach
Investment Corp. It is for the discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of
an alley located adjacent to Lots 1 and 13, Block 20, Croatan Beach, off of Atlantic
Avenue, in the Beach District. Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you again madam Vice Chair. Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach
attorney representing the applicant. We appreciate being on the consent agenda also.
The four conditions as recommended on this street closure or alley closure are standard,
and we agree to all of them. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to this item being
placed on the consent agenda? Seeing none, the Chairman has asked Dave Redmond to
review this application for us.
David Redmond: Thank you. The applicant, Beach Investment Corp., requests a closure,
discontinuance and abandonment of an unimproved alley so they may incorporate the
right-of-way into their adjoining residential lots. There have been several street closure
requests granted along the subject alleyways during the past 15 years. The portion of the
alley requested for closure is one of the few remaining City -owned portions of the
alleyway along this block. This request is also compatible with the Comprehensive
Plan's recommendations as other portions of the alley have also been closed by
individual homeowners. In fact, City Council has adopted a policy aimed at disposing of
undeveloped right-of-ways to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. The
Commission is unaware of any opposition to this application. The Planning staff
supports the application, and the Commission supports it as well by consent. Thank you
Mr. Chairman.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Dave. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion for the approval of
the following agenda item. It is agenda item 6.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: a) Application of Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C. for a Variance to Section
5B of the Site Plan Ordinance, Floodplain Regulations on property located at 2272
Old Pungo Ferry Road (GPINs 2309236398; 2309336649). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS
ANNE.
b) Application of Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C. fora Modification of
Conditions for a request approved by City Council on April 11, 1966. Property is
located at 2272 Old Pungo Ferry Road (GPINs 2309236398; 2309336649).
DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
A Conditional Use Permit permitting recreation facilities, 53 cabins, marina, and
marine sales and service was approved by the City Council on April 11, 1966.
The applicant wishes to modify that Conditional Use Permit to include dry storage
for boats and trailers, a restaurant, and a pool / recreational area for boaters. The
existing restaurant will be demolished and replaced with a smaller building. The
p4ing areas on the site will be paved and landscaped, and a stormwater
management facility will be installed. With the addition of the dry storage building
and the paving of the parking areas, a floodplain variance for minor fill and no
mitigation, and a variance to the Southern Watersheds Management Ordinance
for encroachments into the required 50 -foot buffer are required.
■ Considerations:
The submitted plan depicts a 92,307 square foot boat storage facility situated 98 -
feet from Old Pungo Ferry Road and 30 -feet from the property to the east. The
proposed 3,000 square foot restaurant and pool / recreation area will be located
on the foundation of the existing restaurant. Two hundred (200) parking spaces
will be provided for customers and staff. Street frontage landscaping, parking lot
landscaping and buffering adjacent to the rural residential area is also depicted
on the plan.
The exterior of the proposed dry storage building will be metal panels with
different ribbing width to provide some architectural relief on the building walls.
Decorative window -like accent panels are proposed, some with light fixtures and
some with awnings, to further break up the mass of the building walls. Raised
towers are depicted over some of the double doors of the building and are
Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C.
Page 2of4
reminiscent of older designs for Coast Guard Stations in the region. The
proposed building height is 59 -feet, 2 -inches at the top of the towers. Proposed
height at the eaves of the building is 39 -feet, 6 -inches. The overall average
height of the building is 49 -feet, four inches. The proposed dry storage facility will
accommodate up to 648 boats.
The variance request is to allow fill within the floodplain to accommodate the
proposed dry storage building, the re -paving of existing parking areas and paving
of proposed parking areas, and general rehabilitation of the site. The applicant
cannot mitigate at a one for one replacement on the site as there is insufficient
area outside of the floodplain to allow mitigation. The applicant's request,
therefore, is to allow a variance such that no mitigation is provided on the site.
The proposed request to construct a boat and trailer dry storage facility,
restaurant, and a pool and recreational area for boaters is a valuable service for
the area. The existing facility is a traditional stopping point for many boaters
using the Intracoastal Waterway and is in need of rehabilitation. The proposed
repaving of existing parking areas, provision for additional parking, installation of
a stormwater management facility and landscaping will do much to improve the
appearance of the site and provide for stormwater management where none
currently exists. Installation of a pump -out facility for remnant sewage will help
improve water quality adjacent to the site. The proposed building will be fully
sprinkled and have at least one internal fire wall. The fire suppression system will
be supplied by an on-site water storage facility that will be completely concealed
from public view.
There was opposition to the request. Condition 13 was revised during the hearing
to address the concern of the opposition pertaining to potential damage to wells
in the area.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a motion by a recorded vote of
11-0 to approve the requests with the following conditions:
1. All conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City
Council on April 11, 1966 remain in affect, except the applicant may not
construct the allowed 53 cabins.
2. The site shall be developed and rehabilitated in substantial conformance with
the submitted plan entitled "CUP Exhibit for Pungo Ferry Marina Expansion,
Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by SIA Site Improvement, Civil Engineers,
Surveyors and Site Contractors, dated 7/20/07, except for modifications
enumerated in the conditions that follow.
Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C.

3. The applicant shall use porous pavers or porous concrete in the parking
areas adjacent to the proposed restaurant (38 spaces), the existing general
store (86 spaces), and the rear of the proposed dry storage (30 spaces).
4. The applicant shall install a four -foot high white PVC picket fence with
evergreen trees along the entire length of the eastern property line adjacent
to the rural residential homes and 125 -feet westerly along the frontage
adjacent to Old Pungo Ferry Road.
5. Within the proposed buffer area adjacent to the eastern property line, the
applicant shall plant a row of six to eight foot tall evergreen trees limbed to the
ground, such as Leyland Cypress or Deodar Cedar, 10 -foot on center, and a
row of three to four -foot tall evergreen shrubs, such as rhododendrons or
wax myrtles, four -foot on center. Perennial and /or seasonal annual flowers
shall also be planted.
6. The proposed buildings on the site (dry storage and restaurant) shall be
constructed in substantial conformance with the submitted plan entitled

16) Modification of the Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council on April 11, 1966
17) Variance to Section 5B of the Site Plan Ordinance, Floodplain Regulations
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located at 2272 Old Pungo Ferry Road
GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
23092363980000 7 — PRINCESS ANNE 20.55 acres (19.08 within the floodplain)
23093366490000 and 2.37 acres
APPLICATION HISTORY:
The request was deferred at the September 12, 2007 Planning Commission meeting so the applicant
could address concerns raised by adjacent property owners. The applicant met with adjacent property
owners and the concerns have been addressed.
The Conditional Use Permit permitting recreation facilities, 53 SUMMARY OF REQUEST
cabins, marina, and marine sales and service was approved
by the City Council on April 11, 1966. The Conditional Use Permit has two stipulations:
• Dedication of 40 -feet from the center line along 1,250 -foot frontage (north side), 2,530 -foot
frontage (south side) of Pungo Ferry Road.
• Departmental review and approval in accordance with the site plan ordinance.
The applicant wishes to modify the existing Conditional Use Permit to include dry storage for boats and
trailers, a restaurant, and a pool / recreational area for boaters. The existing restaurant will be demolished
and replaced with a smaller building. The parking areas on the site will be paved and landscaped, and a

stormwater management facility will be installed. With the addition of the dry storage building and the
paving of the parking areas, a floodplain variance for minor fill and no mitigation, and a variance to the
Southern Watersheds Management Ordinance for encroachments into the required 50 -foot buffer are
required.
The submitted plan depicts a 92,307 square foot boat storage facility situated 98 -feet from Old Pungo
Ferry Road and 30 -feet from the property to the east. The proposed 3,000 square foot restaurant and
pool / recreation area will be located on the foundation of the existing restaurant. Two hundred (200)
parking spaces will be provided for customers and staff. Street frontage landscaping, parking lot
landscaping and buffering adjacent to the rural residential area is also depicted on the plan.
The exterior of the proposed dry storage building will be metal panels with different ribbing width to
provide some architectural relief on the building walls. Decorative window -like accent panels are
proposed, some with light fixtures and some with awnings, to further break up the mass of the building
walls. Raised towers are depicted over some of the double doors of the building and are reminiscent of
older designs for Coast Guard Stations in the region. The proposed building height is 59 -feet, 2 -inches at
the top of the towers. Proposed height at the eaves of the building is 39 -feet, 6 -inches. The overall
average height of the building is 49 -feet, four inches. The proposed dry storage facility will accommodate
up to 648 boats.
Variance to Section 5B of Site Plan Ordinance—Floodplain Regulations
Section 5B.5(c): This section of the Site Plan Ordinance does not permit filling within the floodplain
subject to special restrictions. A variance to Section 5B of the Site Plan Ordinance (floodplain variance) is
necessary to allow the fill of the existing area of the floodplain on the property.
Total Surface Area of the site = 894,585 square feet (20.54 acres)
• Total Surface Area within the Floodplain = 831,027 square feet (19.08 acres)
• Total Surface Area covered by Fill within the Floodplain = 244,160 square feet (5.61 acres)
• Percentage of Floodplain Surface Covered by Fill = 29.40%
The Site Plan Ordinance also requires that mitigation be provided at a one for one replacement for the
flood storage volume of the floodplain filled, and that the areas of mitigation or replacement must be
contiguous to the existing floodplain.
• Existing 100 -year floodplain storage volume = 3,125,603 Cubic Feet (C.F.)
• Volume of fill within the floodplain = 549,360 Cubic Feet (C.F.)
• Mitigation Areas for fill volume = "0" Cubic Feet (C.F.)
• Post Developed 100 -year floodplain storage volume = 2,576,243 Cubic Feet (C.F).
The variance request is to allow fill within the floodplain to accommodate the proposed dry storage
building, the re -paving of existing parking areas and paving of proposed parking areas, and general
rehabilitation of the site. The applicant cannot mitigate at a one for one replacement on the site as there is
insufficient area outside of the floodplain to allow mitigation (only 1.46 acres). The applicant's request,
therefore, is to allow a variance such that no mitigation is provided on the site.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is located within the Southern Watershed Management Area,
CULTURAL FEATURES: North Landing River watershed. The site has a sandy beach adjacent to
the river. There is minimal vegetation on the site.
Land records indicate the site was developed in 1919. Residents living in
the area before the site was developed crossed the North Landing River,
between Pungo and Blackwater, via a barge that was pulled back and
forth with an underwater cable. The Pungo Ferry swing bridge was built
in 1953 and was replaced in 1992 with a new bridge span. Several
historic homes and outbuildings exist in the immediate area.
AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of Less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS

WATER and SEWER: There is no City water or sewer available to the site. The site relies upon on-site
sewage disposal and water supply wells. The applicant will need approval from the Virginia Department of
Health for upgrading or replacing these systems.
FIRE: An approved water supply capable of supplying the required fire flow for fire protection is required by the
Uniform Statewide Fire Prevention Code. The water supply system shall consist of reservoirs, pressure tanks,
elevated tanks, water mains or other approved fixed systems capable of providing the required fire flow to a
fire hydrant system. An approved automatic water supply is also needed for the fire sprinkler system that will
be required for the boat storage facility.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
requested modification and floodplain variance, as conditioned below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. The
Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the "Rural Area." The area is characterized as low,
flat land with wide floodplains and altered drainage. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as
agricultural/rural with uses related to farming, forestry, rural residential and other rurally compatible uses.
"Rural areas may be characterized as a balance between the natural environment and human uses with
farms, horse boarding, campgrounds, wineries and open space activities" (Pg.164). The Plan recognizes
this site's continual use over the years for marine -related uses. Its continued use for such purposes is
appropriate within the Rural Area if properly designed to be compatible to the surrounding area.
Evaluation:
The proposed request to construct a boat and trailer dry storage facility, restaurant, and a pool /
recreational area for boaters is a valuable service for the area. The existing facility is a traditional stopping
point for many boaters using the Intracoastal Waterway and is in need of rehabilitation. The proposed
repaving of existing parking areas, provision for additional parking, installation of a stormwater
management facility and landscaping will do much to improve the appearance of the site and provide for
stormwater management where none currently exists. Installation of a pump -out facility for remnant
sewage will help improve water quality adjacent to the site. The proposed building will be fully sprinkled
and have at least one internal fire wall. The fire suppression system will be supplied by an on-site water
storage facility that will be completely concealed from public view. The proposed building, while large in
size, should blend in with the area once the proposed landscaping is mature. Staff, therefore,
recommends approval of the requests subject to the conditions listed below.
CONDITIONS
1. All conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on April 11, 1966
remain in affect, except the applicant may not construct the allowed 53 cabins.
2. The site shall be developed and rehabilitated in substantial conformance with the submitted plan

Joseph Strange: The next items are items 16 and 17. Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C. An
application of Southeast Marine, L.L.C. for a Variance to Section 5B of the Site Plan
Ordnance, Floodplain Regulations on property located at 2272 Old Pungo Ferry Road and an
application of Southeast Marine, L.L.C. for a Modification of Conditions approved by City
Council on April 11, 1966. The property is located at 2272 Old Pungo Ferry Road, District
7, Princess Anne, with 13 conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome Eddie.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. For the record, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach
attorney representing Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C, and also down here this afternoon are
Mr. Paul Martin, the architect on the project, and Mr. Claude Lem with Site Improvements
Associates, the engineer on the project. I recognize that this application was slated for the
consent agenda, and I'll try to keep this very brief. You see the Pungo Ferry Marina site,
where Captain's George has operated for many years. It is a nice beach area, and the marina
that was approved by a Use Permit 41 years ago, and parts of the property looked like they,
and haven't been improved since that application was approved 41 years ago. The applicants
have contracted to purchase the property, and have invested some substantial sum of money
in upgrading the facility, as they are acquiring and operating other facilities along the
Intracoastal Waterway from New England to Florida. The proposal involves the construction
of a dry storage building, and a dry storage building is basically a barn for boats. A very
attractive one, I would assert, along with taking down the existing restaurant and building a
smaller restaurant on the same footprint of the concrete foundation, and also providing a full
playground. The property is a jewel in the southern part of the city, and it is certainly in need
of some refurbishment, and this what application involves. We have been fortunate enough
to have had the opportunity to work with staff, Faith Christie, and the Planning staff, as well
as with two of the neighbors to the property, both Mr. Yoder and Mr. Styron, and have come
up with the conditions that you see in your staff evaluation. There are a couple of wording
issues that I'm going to talk about in just a second. The end result is that you have a marina
that's right up to standards and most importantly these improvements are going to include
providing a dump station for effluent from the boats, not just at this marina but those that
utilize the river, which is very, very, very significant and very needed, and it is an expensive
addition that the client has agreed to install. I think that is something that is worth noting
especially in terms of water quality. The entire property is in a flood plain. We will
minimize those will have to be regrade and upgrade the parking. It involves some minimal to
Items #16 & 17
Southeast Marine Group, L.L.C.
Page 2
fill the floodplain. That is all summarized, and it is recommended for approval. With that,
the only issues that I want to raise, between our issues, and there are two wording questions.
The first deals with the fact that during construction of the new bridge, the Pungo Ferry
Bridge, that is too tall for Mr. Knight to jump off of, without fear of injury, there were
apparently some problems with some well impacts in the area with the driving of those
pilings. This building, which is going to be entirely made of non combustible material, is
entirely sprinkled. It will be built on pilings, not nearly the same level of construction to put
them in as was the case with the bridge, but because of the potential there might be impact,
and condition 13 is acceptable. We would ask that the limitation be basically 500 -feet from
the restaurant site. What we are trying to accomplish in terms of protecting wells. Could you
put up the aerial? The house here and the houses here from the potential that their might be
an impact from the well, and we will test their well water and provide the tests to them and to
the City before construction. If there are any afterwards, we'll again test for any problems
with the wells, and we will replace them. We don't anticipate that at all but as a precaution,
we are certainly willing to do that but the idea is to protect everybody's well around, because
construction is not anywhere near that intense. The second issue is a slight wording change.
Condition 6, the second sentence which begins towards the right hand margin of the fourth
line states that "the building shall not exceed 60 -feet at the highest point and the height at the
lowest eave shall not exceed an average height of 39 -feet". First of all, the word lowest
shouldn't be included in there. It should be the eave height or the height at the eave shall not
exceed an average height of 39 feet, and it is 39 feet six inches. And that is referenced over
in the write up itself on page 2 of the write up where it says the "height of the eaves of the
building is 39 -feet, 6 -inches". That is the average height of the eaves of the building. That is
every one's understanding. I've already reviewed that with Ms. Christie. You can certainly
speak to her about that. I also want to point out that my clients have agreed to limit the hours
of operation of the restaurant, even though it s a by -right use on that piece of property, the
marina is the only part that needs a Use Permit. There is no provision here for a facility to do
boat repair work. But any minor repair that might be done to a boat will be done inside the
building per one of the conditions. But this is not a repair facility.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon at this time? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Yes. We have one speaker who is signed up to speak in opposition. Mike
Yoder.
Barry Knight: Do you care to speak or address us? You are more than welcome to.
Mike Yoder: Hello folks. I'm not good at speaking amongst a bunch of people.
Barry Knight: Welcome. Just state your name for the record.
Mike Yoder: Mike Yoder. I live at 2424 Old Pungo Ferry Road.

Mike Yoder: The only objection I have is what Mr. Bourdon just said, 500 feet from the old
restaurant. My house is more than 500 feet from the old restaurant.
Barry Knight: We'll get your house included Mr. Yoder.
Mike Yoder: Faith and I were just talking a minute ago. Why don't we say something like,
Eddie, from the septic tank field west?
Eddie Bourdon: I mentioned that. I apologize.
Mike Yoder: That's okay.
Barry Knight: Why don't we include the Styron house, the Bright House, and the Yoder
house?
Eddie Bourdon: Anything west of the drain field.
Mike Yoder: That is the only thing west of the drain field.
Barry Knight: Sure. We'll make sure that you're noted in the conditions.
Mike Yoder: That is wonderful. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other concerns Mr. Yoder?
Mike Yoder: No sir. Everybody did a great job. They have all done everything they said
they were going to do. I don't like the building, but it is better than 50 kids chasing my
horses around so, we're in good shape. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Yoder. Are there any other speakers Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon? Do you have anything to add?

Eddie Bourdon: I'm sorry for my lack of measure.
Barry Knight: Could you help us structure condition 13? Would you just like to include the
three homes and name them by owners? Would that make it as easy?
Eddie Bourdon: I think the easiest way to do would be to suggest any wells located to the
west of the drain field site of this property, which is this here. All these houses would all be
located to the west. And we could say north of Pungo Ferry Road, north of Pungo Ferry
Road and west of the drain field for this facility, which is located to the east of the property
that is in question.
Barry Knight: Okay. Are there any questions for Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: That way if they change ownership.
Barry Knight: Okay. Is there any discussion?
Donald Horsley: That map there says Old Pungo Ferry Road over there.
Eddie Bourdon: I'm sorry. That's the old one. North of Pungo Ferry Road.
Donald Horsley: The only comment that I would like to make is that I think it is an
outstanding project, that people in the area have been wondering what is going to happen to
this site for the last couple of years since Captain George's closed. The restaurant amenity
down there is really being missed by a lot of the local people who like to do. I'm glad that
some sort of restaurant is being put back down there. I'm sure it is going to be great. With
that said, I'm ready to make a motion that the application be approved, item 16 the Use
Permit and item 17 the variance to the floodplain regulations be approved.
Barry Knight: Mr. Horsley with the change to condition 6, 39 -feet 6 -inches and scratch out
lowest.
Donald Horsley: Right. And condition 13.
Barry Knight: North of Pungo Ferry Road and west of the draining field.
Donald Horsley: Right.
Barry Knight: Okay. Mr. Henley seconds it. Is there any discussion? There is a motion on
the floor to approve by Don Horsley and a second by Al Henley, agenda item 16 and 17. No
discussion? I'll call for the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: a) Application of Coral Development, L.L.C. for a Variance to Section 5B of
the Site Plan Ordinance, Floodplain Regulations on property located at the
northwest intersection of Atwoodtown Road and Sandbridge Road (GPINs
2413898033; 2413889744; 2413996091; 2413897501; 2413998154). DISTRICT 7 —
PRINCESS ANNE.
b) Application of Coral Development, LLC for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from AG -2 Agricultural District to Conditional R-15 Residential
District with a PD -1-12 Planned Unit Development District Overlay on property
located at 1628 Sandbridge Road, Parcel B Sandbridge Road, 2741, 2753 and 2797
Atwoodtown Road (GPINs 2413898033; 2413889744; 2413996091; 2413897501;
2413998154). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing Agricultural Districts to Conditional
R-15 Residential District with a PD -1-12 Planned Unit Development District
Overlay, and develop the site with 24 single-family lots. The lots will range in size
from 11,128 square feet to 30,767 square feet. The proposed density will be 1.45
units per acre. There will be 2.10 acres of open space area in the proposed
subdivision. The applicant is proffering the setbacks and the building materials
for the proposed dwellings. The applicant has revised the proposed plan since
the Planning Commission hearing, reducing the number of lots from 27 to 24 and
almost eliminating any impact to the floodplain. The attached staff report has
been revised to reflect the new plan.
The applicant's original plan, as presented to the Planning Commission, required
fill within the floodplain to accommodate the proposed roadway and to fill and
pipe an existing ditch which traverses the property from Sandbridge Road to
Atwoodtown Road. The revised plan, however, will require little or no fill, as the
revisions have eliminated the need to pipe the ditch and the previously proposed
roadway no longer crosses the floodplain. As the plan proceeds to more detailed
engineering, there may be a need for fill in a limited number of areas. If fill is
necessary, the applicant has provided a mitigation area at the corner of the
Atwoodtown Road and the proposed cul-de-sac on Atwoodtown Road.
Coral Development, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 2
■ Considerations:
The proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this
area. The proposed rezoning from AG -2 Agricultural to Conditional R-15
Residential with a PD -H2 Planned Development District Overlay is
complementary and compatible to the adjacent established residential
neighborhoods. The proposed homes will be compatible in both size and scale,
and the proposed exterior building materials reflect the materials used within the
residential neighborhood adjacent to this property.
The variance request to fill within the floodplain is acceptable, as any fill that may
be required will be very limited.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-1 to
approve the requests as proffered and with the following conditions:
Should it be determined that fill within the floodplain is necessary, a
floodplain mitigation plan shall be submitted, including a hydrology study
showing no net loss in the flood storage or no net rise in the hydrologic
profile. Proposed mitigation areas shall not be located within the
floodplain.
2. Before any land disturbing activity takes place a Southern Watershed
Management Plan must be submitted for review and approval.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Conditional Change of Zoning
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing Agricultural Districts to Conditional R-15 Residential District
with a PD -1-12 Planned Unit Development District Overlay, and develop the site with 24 single-family lots.
The lots will range in size from 11,128 square feet to 30,767 square feet. The proposed density will be
1.45 units per acre. There will be 2.10 acres of open space area in the proposed subdivision. The
applicant is proffering the setbacks and the building materials for the proposed dwellings.

Variance to Section 5B of Site Plan Ordinance, Floodplain Regulations
Section 5B.5(c): This section of the Site Plan Ordinance does not permit filling within the floodplain
subject to special restrictions. A variance to Section 5B of the Site Plan Ordinance (floodplain variance) is
necessary to allow any fill. The applicant's original plan, as presented to the Planning Commission,
required fill within the floodplain to accommodate the proposed roadway and to fill and pipe an existing
ditch which traverses the property from Sandbridge Road to Atwoodtown Road. The revised plan,
however, will require little or no fill, as the revisions have eliminated the need to pipe the ditch and the
previously proposed roadway no longer crosses the floodplain. As the plan proceeds to more detailed
engineering, there may be a need for fill in a limited number of areas. If fill is necessary, the applicant has
provided a mitigation area at the corner of the Atwoodtown Road and the proposed cul-de-sac on
Atwoodtown Road.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers and conditions attached to the
floodplain variance. The proffers and conditions are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map recognizes this area to be within 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 adjacent stable neighborhoods.
Variance to Section 5B of Site Plan Ordinance (Floodplain Variance)
Section 5B.8 (a) of the Site Plan Ordinance states:
No variance shall be granted unless the City Council finds that:
A. Such variance will not create or result in unacceptable or prohibited increases in flood
heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, nuisances, fraud
or victimization of the public.
B. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental to other property in the vicinity.
C. The circumstances giving rise to the variance application are not a general or recurring
nature.
D. Such circumstances arise from the physical character of the property or from the use or
development of adjacent property and not form the personal situation of the applicant.
E. The granting of such variance will not be in conflict with any ordinance or regulation of the
city.
Section 513.8 (f) provides additional guidance in the evaluation of Floodplain Variance applications. The
section notes that no variance shall be granted by the Council unless the following performance
standards are met:
1. Filling shall be limited to the smallest volume and area possible.
2. Floodplain storage capacity shall be mitigated at a one-to-one ratio of storage capacity created
for area filled to ensure no net loss of storage occurs as result of filling.
3. All floodplain mitigation shall be located on the project site and shall be located contiguous to the
existing floodplain.
4. The general characteristics and functions of the floodplain shall not be adversely affected.
5. Wetlands protection and buffer area requirements set forth in section 7 of the Southern
Watersheds Management Ordinance (Appendix G) are met or a variance there from is granted."
Evaluation:
The proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. The proposed
rezoning from AG -2 Agricultural to Conditional R-15 Residential with a PD -H2 Planned Development
District Overlay is complementary and compatible to the adjacent established residential neighborhoods.
The proposed homes will be compatible in both size and scale, and the proposed exterior building
materials reflect the materials used within the residential neighborhood adjacent to this property.

Barry Knight: Is there a representative for the applicant? Mr. White, would you go wake
up Mr. Nutter?
Barry Knight: Take your time Mr. Nutter. The clock is running.
Ed Weeden: R.J., you got about 7 minutes left.
Barry Knight: Welcome R.J.
R.J. Nutter: The way we were going, I thought I had plenty of time. Forgive me. For the
record, my name is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney. I deny that later I guess. I'm here on
behalf of the applicant, Coral Development. This is an application that we have spent
more time on than I can remember in recent memory. And in many ways, it is a simple
application and in other ways it is complicated. Let me tell you, I think we've addressed
all of the issues. But the comments I'll make really are only going to be complying with
staff requests and some of the things that I've told you all. And that is, first of all, this
property has been in Gail Levine Higgs family since she was a child. Her father actually
purchased the property, and Gail was raised on this property. And so she knows it very
well as with much of her life on it. So, it isn't somebody who bought it or it was some
contractual desire. It was really looking for how the area around was developed and how
Items #18 & 19

Page 2
the property would be developed. The Comprehensive Plan calls for a Primary
Residential Area. We are outside all noise zones. We are above the Green Line, and we
are adjacent to Lagomar, a R-15 neighborhood. So, we filed an application that would
make it R-15 as an infill application consistent with the property right next door. There
are, however, on this property, floodplain. A floodplain, as you know, is anything below
the 5 foot contour and below. Much of this property, a portion of the floodplain here, is
between 4 and 5 feet, with the exception of the ditch. So, this it is technically in the
floodplain, however, it is not really wet. So, as a result we try to look at how we would
deal with that floodplain, and modify this application so that we could leave a lot of open
space, and avoid the floodplain areas. Now, if I could go to the site pian? This is a tough
day for us. Thank you Faith. I will show you a portion of the property (pointing to
PowerPoint). I'll start with this one. This is the same version. The first request by the
city, first of all that we not have access to the property by Sandbridge Road, but that we
access it off of Atwoodtown Road, which is just right here. So, that is fine. We did that.
But of course, that brought us through having a roadway then through this portion of this
portion of the flood water. The part that we are impacting the floodplain is only to
accommodate this roadway right here (pointing to PowerPoint) because if you see, we
have eliminated lots that ran in here. This is, in fact, I'm just noticing this exhibit is not
the same exhibit in your package. Forgive me. As you notice, with the new exhibit in
your package, you will see, we have eliminated a lot. And we did that to avoid, quite
frankly, having the property within the floodplain. So, as a result, we tried to modify this
in every way to eliminate any filling for a lot within that floodplain. So, I can tell you, as
requested right now the only activity that will be filling that floodplain will be for this
roadway system here, and this ditch that Faith talked about during the early session.
Now, this ditch by the way, it actually drains by water to two large pipes. It is city water
through Gail's property. No easement through there whatsoever. We said alright, we'll
do it. We'll ditch it. We'll pipe it for you. We will put it in, but that still counted for
filling even though we were taking City water and running it through our property, and
then bringing an easement to it. So, that has been the nature of the floodplain that we
requested. Now, we didn't know until staff write up, quite frankly that we were
"mitigating" within floodplain area. Now let me tell you what we are trying to do. We
are going to modify it so we're going to comply with staff's request so that the only thing
we're requesting there would be the variance to fill in the floodplain for the road and the
ditch. That is the only thing that we're going to request. Just like staff has recommended
to you. But the reason why we wanted to mitigate within the floodplain area, and
remember I told you how floodplain we had 4 to 5 feet on the contour of these properties,
what we had proposed to do, and it makes perfect sense to me, and that is to propose
deepening those areas so they really could act like a floodplain. They really could receive
water, if in fact, if that occurred, where water needed to run into those properties. We
made efforts to increase the capacity of that floodplain. But that is okay. We won't do
that. We'll take out the lots to do that. And so we will comply with staff s request on
that. So, then, all of a sudden, you have a lot, a property that complies with your
Comprehensive Plan. It has the same exact zoning as the neighborhood next door that
would reduce our number of lots by two, but we have been asked to reduce the number of
lots to 24. My client doesn't like that, but my clients agreed to do that. So, we could
Items #18 & 19
Coral Development, L.L.C.
Page 3
down to 24 lots, where we would take our density, quite frankly on this property below
the densities of the adjacent neighborhood. Could I go back to the site plan for a second?
Okay. I would like to show you one of the features. If I could go to the other one if I
could? Thank you. I'll tell you what. Bear with me. Go to the small site plan in your
packet. This is actually the site plan that is on file. By the way, there have been so many
site plans filed with this. I can understand why staff would just get the wrong one in
here. There must have been 15 of these floating around over the course of the last 2
years. But the point that I want to make to you is if you look along the portion of the
property here adjacent to the existing Lagomar entrance, there is actually 15 lots adjacent
to our property that are in Lagomar. The way that this has been designed, we have
reduced the number of lots adjacent from our property to theirs down to seven. So, as
you see, we only have seven lots that are contiguous from lot line to their property. So,
we tried to minimize any impact on the adjacent property. We have a large amount of
BMP and floodplain area, so we really have been a very good neighbor. All of the lots
adjacent here are 15,000 square feet so that we would have complete congruity with the
adjacent neighborhood. The only reason why we went down to PD -H was because we
were trying to get smaller lots to avoid the floodplain variance. That is why we went to
PD -H. We go down to 24, and we are still within the PD -H requirements. We can still
come down and comply with staff's request for mitigation outside the floodplain, and
therefore, have a property that has a density then of 1.4 units per acre, which is below
what is recommended in the Comprehensive Plan, and below, what is in fact is in the
adjacent neighborhood. So, we have an application that complies with your
Comprehensive Plan with staff recommendations, and your restrictions in respect to
floodplain. We also added a condition to proffers because quite frankly, I rezoned this
section of Lagomar for the neighborhood that are there today. At the time, then Lagomar
objected to that rezoning unless that neighborhood, which was the Centex neighborhood
agreed to the conditions that are in this very proffer, which is our proffer 5. So, as a
result knowing that, we put in the exact same proffer here that we did use previously. So,
these homes will be consistent with the value, quality and materials identical to the
restriction to the restrictions in the adjacent neighborhood. So, my client has really
worked hard to make this work, including dealing with changing interpretation to
floodplains along the way. But I think if we remove the spotlight from this application
and I'm sure you can revisit some of the floodplain regulations down there because we
can bountifully improve the capacity of the floodplain here and not just the technical
definition of floodplain. If we get the right components, but that is for another day. For
right now, we stand ,where we modified the 24 lots. We would agree with staff, and not
to do mitigation within the floodplain. We will do it in the upland areas. And, that is
what we ask. That you make a recommendation for approval. I will be happy to answer
any questions.
Barry Knight: Mr. Horsley?
Donald Horsley: Where would you lose your share of lots?
R.J. Nutter: It is hard to tell with that one because that is the wrong one. There a couple
Items #18 & 19
Coral Development, L.L.C.
Page 4
of examples where staff has indicated that it's possible. I can't quite tell you yet Mr.
Horsley, my sense is that we are probably going to lose some lots at the beginning of this
and that is where I see an immediate opportunity, quite frankly. They sort of have a
bigger entrance there. Staff actually gave us a preliminary one for 24. We've looked at it
and it is really pretty good. So, there would be some modifications, but at the time they
gave it to us, we didn't know about the mitigating problem that they cited in the write-up
that we got on Friday of last week. So, I can't quite tell you yet, but I can guarantee you
that there will be no lot adjacent to that neighborhood that goes below 15,000 square feet
in respect. So, I believe what will happen the smaller lots will get bigger.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Nutter at this time? Thank you Mr.
Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: My pleasure.
Barry Knight: I'm going to make an observation. Faith, could you show us the aerial
again please? That is the one.
Faith Christie: That is not Seaboard Road by the way.
Barry Knight: I understand. That is Sandbridge Road. This is an extremely unique piece
of property where you have the intersection of three roads. You have traffic counts down
there that are tremendously high when the people on Saturdays and Sundays are checking
into the rental units at Sandbridge plus going to Little Island Park and everything else at
Sandbridge. It gets pretty crowded. I know Al Henley knows, because he lives right off
of Sandbridge Road, right down the road, but irrespective of the traffic, if you look on the
left hand side there, that is the Transition Area, I believe, and on the right hand side is
Lagomar, and then you look at this unique piece of property that, for lack of a better term,
is like a horseshoe but it is kind of isolating some people in the middle. They look like
they are utilizing all of the property, every single bit of the property. It looks like they're
getting all the homes in there that they can possibly get. I do kind of sympathize with the
property owner owning this piece of property. It is so unique. But, I'm here supposed to
be looking at proper land use planning, and in my particular mind, this isn't the right
number of homes in there. I would like to see a lot less density in this area. I would also
like to see him try to acquire the middle property, which probably can't be done. I
wouldn't be surprised if they haven't approached them but it probably can't be done. But
still, nonetheless, it is still a unique piece of property. I just don't have a good comfort
level with this one. I am personally not going to be able to support this one. But is there
any other discussion with the Commission members?
Donald Horsley: Is there any opposition?
Barry Knight: No sir. If there is no discussion, the Chair will entertain a motion.
Items #18 & 19
Coral Development, L.L.C.
Page 5
Donald Horsley: The motion would be if we were to approve, it would be for the 24 lots.
Is that correct?
R.J. Nutter: Correct. And it would be only for the variance to facilitate the ditch and the
roadway. We would remove the mitigation from the request for the variance.
Donald Horsley: If I might Mr. Chairman. I will elaborate briefly on this. I look at this,
and I know that we are on the other side of the Transition Area, but this density is part of
the community that is on the Lagomar community the way I see this piece of property. I
think that the density is slightly less than it is in Lagomar, so, I think they made some
adjustments even though it is a unique piece of property. I'm sure if that center piece of
property could be acquired they would have acquired it, but we're dealing with what's in
front of us today. I think they have dropped the number down, and I think the number
that staff has said it could deal with, and make them larger lots that actually border up to
the Lagomar. I think this project could be approved, and I guess I'm going to support the
project. So when you get ready for a motion, I'll make a motion that the application be
approved with the 24 lots that Mr. Nutter has requested.
Barry Knight: We have a motion on the floor by Donald Horsley and seconded by Al
Henley. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Whitney?
Jack Whitney: Does the motion include the floodplain variance item? There were two
items.
Donald Horsley: Yes.
Barry Knight: Agenda items 18 & 19.
R.J. Nutter: As modified, as I will point out Jack, as well.
Jack Whitney: Fine, since we have two items.
Donald Horsley: Both of the items.
Barry Knight: And do you concur, Al on your second?
Al Henley: Yes.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve Coral Development, agenda
items 18 & 19, made by Don Horsley and seconded by Al Henley. Is there any
discussion? I'll call for the question.

by and between CORAL DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company
(hereinafter referred to as the "Grantor"), the current owner of that certain property located in the
City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, which property is more particularly described in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Property"), and the CITY OF
VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (hereinafter
referred to as "Grantee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee, so as to change the classification
of the property from AG -2 to Conditional R-15 with a PD -H2 overlay; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed-use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property and at
the same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses,
certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the
community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned Conditional R-15 with a PD -
H2 overlay are needed to cope with the situation to which the Grantor's rezoning application
gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing R-15 and PD -H2 zoning
districts by the existing City's Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the following reasonable conditions
related to the physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of
said amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia and executed by the record
owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,

the ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, its successors, assigns, grantees, and other

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Virginia Beach Beacon Baptist Church for a Modification of
Conditions for a Use Permit for a Church approved by the City Council on
November 9, 1987. Property is located at 2301 Newstead Drive (GPIN 2414167704).
AICUZ is 65 to 70. DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
A Conditional Use Permit allowing this church was approved by the City Council
on November 9, 1987. No site plan or physical survey showing the location of the
church and related facilities was submitted with the original Conditional Use
Permit.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site to be within 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:
The applicant requests modification of their Conditional Use Permit to allow two
twenty -foot by forty -foot (20' x 40') modular classrooms as a temporary solution
on their site until funding is in place for development and implementation of a
master plan offering a more permanent solution. The modular classrooms are not
an expansion to the church membership, but are additional classrooms for their
growing church programs. The location of the modular classrooms allows them to
be seen as an extension of the church building and be relatively unobtrusive
The proposal for additional facility space is consistent with the land use planning
policies of the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the adjacent
residential neighborhood as well as the business areas.
The original conditions of the Use Permit will remain in effect. Condition 4 is to be
added identifying a physical survey depicting the location of the two modular
classrooms in relationship with the existing church on the site. Condition 1 is to
be modified because the name of the street referenced in this condition has been
changed to Nimmo Parkway.
Virginia Beach Beacon Baptist Church
Page 2 of 2
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
addition of the two (2) modular classrooms is a temporary solution for providing
space for the church, the proposed location of the trailers reduces their visibility
from Nimmo Parkway, 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 the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use
Permit granted by the City Council on November 9, 1987 remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 1 of the November 9, 1987 Conditional Use Permit is
deleted and replaced with the following: No curb cuts on Nimmo Parkway.
3. When the modular classrooms are installed, the location shall be as depicted
on the plan of the existing church and proposed modular classrooms.
4. Applicant shall obtain all required permits and inspections from the Planning
Department's Permits and Inspections Division and the Fire Department. A
certificate of occupancy shall be obtained form the Building Official before
occupancy of the modular classrooms.
5. The modular trailers shall be limited to a period of five (5) years, at which
time, if no complaints pertaining to the trailers have been received by the
Planning Department, administrative approval may be granted for incremental
extensions of two years.

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
requested modification, as conditioned below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within 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.
For future master planning purposes, preserve mature treed areas where possible and design for
landscaping improvements along Nimmo Parkway and Newstead Drive to buffer uses from noise impacts.
Additionally, consider the design of internal pedestrian paths on the site to connect proposed structures
with existing structures and to external sidewalks or trails.
Evaluation:
The request to modify the conditions for two (2) temporary modular classrooms to be located on the
church property is acceptable. The location of the modular classrooms allows them to be seen as an
extension of the church and relatively unobtrusive. The proposal for additional facility space is acceptable
with the land use planning policies of the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the adjacent
residential neighborhood as well as the business areas.
CONDITIONS
1. All conditions with the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the
City Council on November 9, 1987 remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 1 of the November 9, 1987 Conditional Use Permit is deleted and replaced with the
following: No curb cuts on Nimmo Parkway.
3. When the modular classrooms are installed, the location shall be as depicted on the plan of the
existing church and proposed modular classrooms.
4. Applicant shall obtain all required permits and inspections from the Planning Department's Permits
and Inspections Division and the Fire Department. A certificate of occupancy shall be obtained form
the Building Official before occupancy of the modular classrooms.
5. The modular trailers shall be limited to a period of five (5) years, at which time, if no complaints
pertaining to the trailers have been received by the Planning Department, administrative approval may
be granted for incremental extensions of two years.

April 13, 1999
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of The Savin Company, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for
a car wash on property located 820 South Military Highway, approximately 452
feet north of Indian River Road (GPIN 1456253633). DISTRICT 1 — CENTERVILLE.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site
for a car wash. The site was rezoned in 1999 from 1-1 Light Industrial District to
Conditional B-2 Community Business District. That rezoning proposal consisted
of two (2) parcels, totaling 4.20 acres, at the corner of Indian River Road and
Military Highway. Parcel A, the site currently developed as a drug store, is
shaped like a flag lot with the flag at the intersection of the two highways and the
flagpole stem extending north to Alexandria Avenue. Parcel B, the subject site for
this Conditional Use Permit, fronts Military Highway, just north of Parcel A. A
proffer of the 1999 rezoning limits vehicular access to Parcel B from a shared
access with Parcel A.
■ Considerations:
The proposed structure is oriented parallel to Military Highway, and consists of
two (2) 45 foot by 16 foot (45' x 16') automated car wash stations and four (4) 24
foot by 16 foot (24'x 16') self-service stations. A small office and an equipment
room are also proposed, as well as five (5) self-service vacuum stations. The
site plan depicts 18 parking spaces, which satisfies ordinance requirements.
The site plan depicts two (2) ingress/egress points, neither of which is located
directly on Military Highway. A shared entry is proposed with the existing drug
store to the south and a second access point is located on an existing drive that
runs along the northern property line. This drive serves the drug store, this site
and industrially zoned properties to the north.
The submitted building elevation depicts a one story structure with brown, split -
face concrete block on the lower half of the facade that transitions to a beige
vinyl siding on the upper half. A royal blue standing -seam metal roof, that
matches fabric awnings over the automated car wash bays, is also proposed.
The color scheme mimics the color selection of the adjacent drug store building
in an attempt to create a coordinated presentation.The columns of the self wash
portion of the building will be wrapped with split -face CMU block. A band of
The Savin Company, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
darker brown split -face concrete block is proposed at the water table for
architectural interest. Small accents of Exterior Insulation Finishing System
(EIFS) are also shown on the plan, again adding architectural detailing.
When this site was conditionally rezoned in 1999 from 1-1 Light Industrial District
to Conditional B-2 Community Business District, the proffered layout was
sensitive to the residential area to the east. Rather than having the existing
homes back up to the rear of a commercial site, a drive aisle within a 120 -foot
wide ingress/egress easement and a solid fence along the eastern property line
was proffered in order to provide further screening from the residential properties
to the east. The approximate distance from the closest home to the eastern
property line of this site is 150 feet.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
use is appropriate for the site, the provisions of the 1999 conditional rezoning
ensure adequate buffering for the residential area to the east, and there was no
opposition to the proposal.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request, with the following conditions:
When the property is developed, the site layout shall be in substantial
conformance with the plan entitled, "Conceptual Plan / South Military Highway
Carwash / Parcel B-1 / Virginia Beach, Virginia," dated September 27, 2007,
prepared by Massey Design & Associates, P.C. Said plan has been exhibited
to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. When the building is constructed it shall be in substantial conformance with
the elevation entitled, "South Military Highway Car Wash", prepared by G.M.
Frech & Associates. Said elevation has been exhibited to the City Council and
is on file in the Planning Department.
3. The hours of operation for the automated car wash stations and vacuum

Agenda Item 4
October 10, 2007 Public Hearing
Staff Planner: Carolyn A.K. Smith
REQUEST:
Conditional Use Permit for car wash
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located on the east side of South Military Highway, approximately 425
feet north of Indian River Road
GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
14562536330000 2 — CENTERVILLE 0.7665 acres
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow SUMMARY OF REQUEST
development of the site for a car wash with two (2) 45 foot by
16 foot automated car wash stations and four (4) 24 foot by 16 foot self service wash stations. A small
attendant office and equipment room are also proposed, as well as five (5) self-service vacuum stations.
The site plan depicts 18 parking spaces. The automated car wash is proposed to be open 24 hours a day
and only manned during normal operating hours.
The proposed structure is oriented parallel to Military Highway. The site plan depicts two (2)
ingress/egress points, neither of which is located directly on Military Highway. A shared entry is proposed
with the existing drug store to the south and a second access point is located on an existing drive that
runs along the northern property line. This drive serves the drug store, this site and industrially zoned
properties to the north. This drive also provides a spatial buffer to the single-family dwellings to the east.
Parallel parking spaces are depicted throughout the site.
The submitted elevation depicts a one story structure with brown, split face CMU block on the lower half
of the facade that transitions to a beige vinyl siding. A royal blue standing -seam metal roof, that matches
fabric awnings over the automated car wash bays, is also proposed. The color scheme mimics the color
selection of the adjacent drug store building in an attempt to create a coordinated presentation. The
columns of the self wash portion of the building will be wrapped with split -face CMU block. A band of
darker brown split -face CMU block is proposed at the water table for some architectural interest. Small
accents of Exterior Finishing Insulation System (EIFS) are also shown on the plan, again, adding
architectural detailing.

This site was rezoned in 1999 from 1-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional B-2 Community Business
District. The rezoning proposal consisted of two (2) parcels, totaling 4.20 acres, at the corner of Indian
River Road and Military Highway. Parcel A, the site generally to the south and east, is shaped like a flag
lot with the flag at the intersection of the two highways and the stem extending north to Alexandria
Avenue. Parcel B, the subject site for a Conditional Use Permit for a car wash, fronts Military Highway,
just north of Parcel A.
At the time of the rezoning request, the proposed development on Parcel A included a 13,227 square foot
drug store with three (3) drive-thru lanes, 83 parking spaces, and a rear drive aisle which extends from
Indian River Road to Alexandria Avenue. It was proffered that Parcel B would not have a separate
entrance onto Military Highway but rather a shared access with Parcel A.
The following proffers were approved by City Council in 1999:
1. The Property shall be developed substantially in accordance with that certain site plan entitled
"Proposed Eckerd, Preliminary Site Plan, dated January, 1999, prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., (the "Site Plan"), a copy of which Site Plan has been exhibited to the City
Council of the Grantee, and is on file in the Planning Department of the Grantee.
2. The Grantors shall install and maintain on the Property landscaping substantially in accordance
with the plan entitled "Proposed Eckerd, Landscape Plan,,dated January, 1999, prepared by
Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. (the "Landscape Plan"), acopy of which Landscape Plan has
been exhibited to the City Council of the Grantee, and is on file in the Planning Department of the
Grantee.
3. Subject to approval of the Virginia Beach Board of Zoning Appeals, Grantor will construct a solid
fence between the new drive aisle traversing the property designated on the Site Plan as "Parcel
A" and the eastern property line of Parcel A, in order to provide further screening from the
residential property to the east.
4. The exterior architectural design, building materials and colors of the primary building on Parcel A
shall be the same as the exterior design, materials and colors depicted on the rendering entitled
"Eckerd Drug Store, Eckerd Store No, 831 R, Military Hwy at Indian River Rd., Virginia Beach,
VA," dated January 20, 1999, prepared by Lyman Davidson Dooley, Inc. (the 'Rendering"), a
copy of which Rendering has been exhibited to the City Council of the Grantee and is on file in
the Planning Department of the Grantee.
5. When developed, the property designated on the Site Plan as "Parcel B" shall be developed
subject to the following restrictions:
(a) Any freestanding sign on Parcel B shall be a monument style sign, rather than a pylon style
sign.
(b) Grantor shall install and maintain on Parcel B a landscape buffer between Parcel B and the
right-of-way of Military Highway with the same width and spacing and comparable species
of landscape materials as the landscape buffer between Parcel A and the right-of-way of
Military Highway.
(c) Grantor shall screen the heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment serving the
buildings on Parcel B from view from Military Highway.
(d) The primary colors of external building materials used on Parcel B (excluding roof and
accent features), shall be earth tones, so that they comport generally with the primary
colors of the building on Parcel A.

THE SAVIN COMPANY
Agenda Item 4

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within the Primary Residential Area. The land use
planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area.
The Comprehensive Plan Policy document reinforces the suburban characteristics of commercial centers
and other non-residential areas for this area.
The general pattern of land uses along this one and one half mile corridor has remained essentially
unchanged for years. The east side of Military Highway consists of and is zoned for light industrial uses. It
is surrounded by open space areas and stable neighborhoods. The east side of Military Highway
comprises a variety of industrial activities, including truck and automobile oriented land uses, outdoor
storage and warehousing. The Plan states "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" (page 91).
The long term goal for this 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.). Requests
for new and redeveloped uses should contribute to improving the aesthetic of this corridor by
implementing plans that show high quality building design, signage and landscaping (pages 129-130).
Evaluation:
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. Of
concern is the existing residential neighborhood to the east. When this site was conditionally rezoned in
1999 from 1-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District, the proffered layout
was sensitive to this fact. Rather than having the existing homes back up to the rear of a commercial site,
a drive aisle within a 120 -foot wide ingress/egress easement and a solid fence along the eastern property
line was proffered. in order to provide further screening from the residential property to the east. The
applicant also proffered a landscape plan with the 1999 proposal. The proffered landscaping and
minimum 30 -foot wide buffer shown along the drive aisle does mitigate impacts to the residential
properties associated with the commercial uses. The plan included a row of alternating Leyland cypress
and Andorra juniper along the entire eastern side of the rear drive aisle. The row is set back 15 feet from
the property line abutting the residential property due to a utility easement in this location. The
approximate distance from the closest home to the eastern property line of this site is 150 feet. The width
of the drive aisle is approximately 28 feet within the 120 -foot wide ingress/egress that runs north and
south behind this site. Access to the subject site, Parcel B, will be from the interior only, with no direct
access to Military Highway. This allows for a more attractive streetscape along Military Highway, full of
landscaping. In fact, as the facade of the building facing Military Highway will not be solid due to the wash
bays, Staff has recommended a condition that additional plant material be installed along Military
Highway to compensate for the inability to install foundation landscaping as required by the Zoning
Ordinance.
The 1999 proffer agreement also ensures the following: any freestanding sign on this site, Parcel B, be a
monument style sign, rather than a pylon style sign; a landscape buffer between Parcel B and the right -of -
THE SAVIN COMPANY
Agenda Item 4

way of Military Highway with the same width and spacing and comparable species of landscape materials
as the landscape buffer between Parcel A and the right-of-way of Military Highway be planted; the
heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment serving the building on this site be screened from view
from Military Highway; the primary colors of external building materials used on Parcel B (excluding roof
and accent features), shall be earth tones, so that they comport generally with the primary colors of the
building on Parcel A which is now an Eckerd Drug store.
Staff is recommending approval subject to the conditions listed below, which are designed to further
reduce any potential negative impacts to the existing residential neighborhood to the east.
CONDITIONS
1. When the property is developed, the site layout shall be in substantial conformance with the plan
entitled, "Conceptual Plan / South Military Highway Carwash / Parcel B-1 / Virginia Beach, Virginia,"
dated September 27, 2007, prepared by Massey Design & Associates, P.C. Said plan has been
exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. When the building is constructed it shall be in substantial conformance with the elevation entitled,
"South Military Highway Car Wash," prepared by G.M. Frech & Associates. Said elevation has been
exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
3. The hours of operation for the car wash and vacuum operations shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m.
4. All outdoor lighting shall be shielded, deflected, shaded and focused to direct light down onto the
premises and away from adjoining property. A photometric lighting plan depicting such lighting shall
be submitted to the City of Virginia Beach for review and approval with the final site plan submission.
5. In addition to the required landscaping, as per the City's Zoning Ordinance, an additional row of
evergreen shrubs shall be installed along the property line adjacent to Military Highway.
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.

Janice Anderson: The next matter is agenda item 4. This is an application of The Savin
Company, L.L.C. This is for a Conditional Use Permit for a car wash located on property
at 820 South Military Highway, Centerville District. Welcome Mr. Gambrell.
Bill Gambrell: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Mr. Chairman and members of the Planning
Commission, my name is Bill Gambrell. I'm the applicant's representative today. I've
told you this before but I love being on the consent agenda. Thank you very much.
Carolyn did give me a copy of the revised condition, and I appreciate that as well. I just
want to say thank you. If you have any questions, I'll be here for you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the
consent agenda? Seeing none, the Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this
application.
Eugene Crabtree: This application is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a car
wash. It is actually located right off of Indian River Road on Military Highway. This
area has been zoned for light industrial use since 1999. The area has changed very little
over the years, but there is a need for this type of facility in this area, and that is an ideal
location for it to serve the surrounding community. This is an application that has five
conditions to it that the applicant has agreed with. It is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan, and staff recommended approval of this; so, we consequently put it
on the consent agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Gene. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion for the approval of
the following agenda item. It is agenda item 4.
Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor by Jan Anderson and seconded
by Gene Crabtree. Do I have any discussion? I'll call for the question.

CUP for Binge Hall
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Jeb Tolley for a Conditional Use Permit for a bingo hall on
property located at 2644 Barrett Street (GPIN 1497538465). DISTRICT 6 — BEACH.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a bingo hall in a portion
of the existing building located on this site.
■ Considerations:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as Strategic
Growth Area 6 - North London Bridge Area. This area is characterized by a
contrast in commercial quality and activity. In addition, there is a wide variation in
the quality and design of landscaping, signage, parking areas, building
architecture and other visual attributes. While AICUZ provisions impose some
restrictions in the eastern portion of this Strategic Growth Area, some properties
along Potters Road, Dean Drive and Barrett Street are located outside the more
intensive AICUZ zone. These parcels, including those located in the vicinity of
the Lynnhaven Parkway/1-264 interchange and along Virginia Beach Boulevard,
are suitable for a higher intensity of mixed uses including offices, institutions and
limited additional retail compatible with the Joint Land Use Study. The
Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need to provide a range of commercial retail
activities and services to meet the needs of all its citizens, it is equally important
that this be accomplished in harmony with the concept of providing an attractive
and well-maintained physical environment.
There was opposition to the request.
■ 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:
Bingo games shall be limited to the weekends from Friday beginning at
10:30 p.m. until Sunday ending at 11:59 p.m.
2. A cross access parking agreement shall be submitted to the Current
Planning Division prior to commencement of Bingo operations.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Barrett
Street and Dean Street are two local dead end streets. Traffic engineering has no ADT data for either of
these streets. Lynnhaven Parkway in the vicinity of this application is a four lane divided major urban
arterial. This site is adjacent to the existing 1-264 right-of-way, and may be impacted by the 1-264 /
Lynnhaven Parkway Interchange Improvements Project, Phase Il. This is a VDOT project currently in
the preliminary design stage. At this time, Public Works Engineering does not have any comments
regarding right-of-way dedications. The trip generation from this site for bingo games between 10:30
p.m. Fridays and 11:59 p.m. Sundays will not affect the Lynnhaven Parkway weekday a.m. and p.m.
peak hours traffic volumes. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) done in 2002 by URS Corporation for 7 -eleven
documented the crash history and safety issues at this intersection. No improvements have been made
to this intersection since this study was done. Peak weekday hours maybe affected by the gymnastic
facility.

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as Strategic Growth Area 6 - North London
Bridge Area. This area is characterized by a contrast in commercial quality and activity. In addition, there
is a wide variation in the quality and design of landscaping, signage, parking areas, building architecture
and other visual attributes. While AICUZ provisions impose some restrictions in the eastern portion of this
Strategic Growth Area, some properties along Potters Road, Dean Drive and Barrett Street are located
outside the more intensive AICUZ zone. These parcels, including those located in the vicinity of the
Lynnhaven Parkway/1-264 interchange and along Virginia Beach Boulevard, are suitable for a higher

intensity of mixed uses including offices, institutions and limited additional retail compatible with the Joint
Land Use Study.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need to provide a range of commercial retail activities and
services to meet the needs of all its citizens, it is equally important that this be accomplished in harmony
with the concept of providing an attractive and well-maintained physical environment.
Evaluation:
This proposal for Bingo games to be held in a portion of an existing building is compatible with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the Joint Land Use Study.
CONDITIONS
1. Bingo games shall be limited to the weekends from Friday beginning at 10:30 p.m. until Sunday
ending at 11:59 p.m.
2. A cross access parking agreement shall be submitted to the Current Planning Division prior to
commencement of Bingo operations.
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.

Jeb Tolley
Conditional Use Permit
2644 Barrett Street
District 6
Beach
October 10, 2007
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 5, Jeb Tolley. An application of Jeb Tolley for a
Conditional Use Permit for a bingo hall on property located at 2644 Barrett Street, District 6,
Beach, with one condition.
Barry Knight: Welcome Mr. Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. Planning Commission, for the record, my
name is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney representing Mr. Tolley on this application. I will tell
you that I have known Mr. Tolley personally for close to 15 years. But his business has been
in Virginia Beach. He has operated a Gymstrada for thousands of children throughout
Virginia Beach for over 33 years to be exact. And what happens here is at various locations.
This would be a permanent location for them. They train children in gymnastics, and these
children compete. Actually over 110 children are in the program today that compete across
the United States, and actually have gone as far as Mexico for International Competition. In
process of this, they were looking for a larger permanent site to accommodate them in their
growth. At the same time, provide a location that would allow them to raise money for their
travel that these children go through, which is quite extensive. I told you about the
competition but that doesn't count all the trainings, all of the sessions where they get ready to
go to these competitions. So, in an effort to offset the costs of the parents and to provide an
amenity, quite frankly to Gymstrada, they look at buying this particular property. Now this
property is zoned I-1 Industrial. It is 20,000 square foot building. It is an unusual building.
I always thought it was two stories, but is in fact, one-story in height. They have an office
component which is structured right here. The rest of the property is in fact is a warehouse
operation today. That would be converted into their exercise area, training area, and a
portion of it would be used for the bingo. Bingo is restricted in hours as you know, and as
Traffic Engineering reported to you earlier, because of the time limitations placed on this
application, this is going to be occurring during the complete off peak hours of any traffic
that otherwise would occur in this area. As you know, Lynnhaven Parkway is a heavily
traffic area particularly during the weekday and all this activity occurs from Friday evening
through Sunday at midnight. Now, a couple of things that I would like to tell is that first of
all, we have contacted Tidewater Tech, which is located right here (pointing to PowerPoint).
They have no objection to the application. We have been to RK Chevrolet, which is their
body shop for their cars that is located over here. They have no objection to the application.
We have contacted the various auction people, and they no objection to the application. So,
we have been to all the adjacent property owners who have no objection to this whatsoever.
Finally, we are having in fact working on parking improvements with Tidewater Tech and
Item #5
Jeb Tolley
Page 2
probably with the auction facility, as well, just so you will know. Quite frankly, because
during the day we will have 100 spaces, in which we will probably need about 30. They
want to use some of our spaces during the day. And in the evenings, when of course, they
have very little parking needs for their businesses, we will be able to use their parking. So, it
is really working out quite well. As a result, I want to talk to you about the staff, during the
break, gave you a revised condition Mr. Chairman. So there are actually two attached to this.
I would like to change one word in this because I'm not sure. The second condition that staff
recommended says, "A cross access parking easement shall be submitted to the Current
Planning Division prior to commencement of the bingo operations". We would probably
want to change easement to agreement. We're not so sure we can get an actual easement
with them but we will have agreements that will be in place for cross parking and access
between our properties. But otherwise, if that is acceptable, we're very, very happy about
this. The neighbors all around it have no objection to it. And, you're really facilitating a
program that really brings a lot of attention to Virginia Beach with gymnastic efforts and
these children. So otherwise, staff's conditions are acceptable. I'll be happy to answer any
questions that you might have whatsoever.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Nutter? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: Mr. Nutter, I presume that if you use it to go in strictly for Gymstrada, you
can go on by existing by -rights? So, the only reason you need this is because you want to use
it for a fund raising venture?
R.J. Nutter: That is exactly right. The Gymstrada activity would be a by -right. One
important thing is and staff brought this up to you. As you know, we went meeting with the
Navy and the Navy has no objection to this. We're also very excited about that. But you're
absolutely right. All those can be by -right activities.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Nutter? Thank you.
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Ron Smith.
Barry Knight: Good afternoon sir.
Ron Smith: Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission, my name is Ron Smith. I'm
Chairman of the Board of the U.S.A. National Karate Federation of Virginia. And, I don't
know if you guys received the letter in opposition that we sent to the Commission, but
basically there are some simple points here to be addressed. I think the most important thing
is there are eleven charities operating in that exact area, running bingo games on those exact
two days, and approving this would hurt those charities. It is not rocket science. We don't
want to hurt another sister charity. What we want, and currently they are operating a game, I
think west of Independence Boulevard. If they locate to a different place, a different day,
God bless them but if they're putting a game in exactly the area where eleven charities are
Item #5
Jeb Tolley
Page 3
operating on the same two days of the week, and there is only one intent for that, which is to
hurt those charities. Those halls that are currently in the area, support baseball, aquatics,
karate, gymnastics, and softball, just to name a few, and thousands of children benefit from
those games right now. So, what we ask is that you disapprove this request for a variance.
Encourage the charity to find another piece of property or in the alternative, operate on
different days of the week. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Smith? Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: Okay. Also speaking in opposition we have Norman Gantor.
Norman Gantor: That's okay. Just don't call me late for supper.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir.
Norman Gantor: Good afternoon Planning Commission. Mr. Chairman and members, my
name is Norman Gantor. At the present time, I'm a member of Kempsville Branch 99. I
speak in opposition to this plan. We play bingo every Saturday morning at the bingo palace,
which is basically a mile and quarter from this plan here. At the same time, as the gentleman
before me spoke, you also have Lynnhaven Bingo, Bingo Palace, First Colonial, and at each
one of these locations, they use the funds for youth activities in every area that is out there. I
think that the program that the gentleman, who wants to put this in is doing it for a very good
cause. But it is going to take away from the initial planning and use of the funds that are
coming from all of the other bingo people out there. Kempsville Branch 99, just to let you
know, we use those funds to support SA contest in the local area here. I don't know how
many of you are familiar with the SA contest, but we award monies every year to the
students. We also provide scholarship programs with the use of those funds. I thank you for
your time, and I do hope you disapprove it.
Barry Knight: Mr. Gantor?
Norman Gantor: Yes.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question for you.
Dorothy Wood: I have a question for the attorney.
Barry Knight: Oh, I'm sorry. Are there any questions for Mr. Gantor? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: Norm? Of course, I'm a member of Branch 99 also.
Norman Gantor: You poor fellow.
Eugene Crabtree: I know what we do and what we do with our money. Do you really
Item #5
Jeb Tolley
Page 4
believe that the way bingo people are and the way the bingo players are, and almost every
time that you hold bingo you are full, are you not?
Norman Gantor: When you say full?
Eugene Crabtree: Are your seats just at capacity just about anytime you have bingo? Are
you not?
Norman Gantor: No.
Eugene Crabtree: Or close to it?
Norman Gantor: Never.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay.
Norman Gantor: There is one session at Bingo Palace that they 800 and some odd seats. I
think the fullest it's ever at Mr. Crabtree is during the New Years session. All the rest of
them they run about 250 through 400.
Eugene Crabtree: I go by there all the time. I live close to the spot, as you know.
Norman Gantor: Yes sir.
Eugene Crabtree: I go by there all the time. And my experience with the bingo and one
thing or another is that there are enough bingo players out there, enough gamblers in this
world that you could put one on every comer and there are going to be enough to play
because if they didn't Las Vegas would go broke. And Las Vegas hasn't gone broke, and it
is not going broke. I really can't see as where one more venue to make money to support our
children in the city is going to hurt the other venues. It may bite just a little bit but I know
for a fact it is not going to break our organization if somebody else opens up a little bit. It is
not going to break us. I just wanted to clarify that and get that on the record.
Barry Knight: Mr. Redmond?
David Redmond: I'm not sure you have the answer to this but if you do, it would be helpful.
And maybe I should ask Mr. Smith but according to Mr. Smith's letter, which you may or
may not be familiar, currently eleven charities that currently use two halls to raise funds, four
at Lynnhaven and seven at Bingo Palace. Are these other bingo halls non-profit in nature?
In other words, is that there only purpose to raise funds for these charities or are there some
other profit making enterprises?
Norman Gantor: All bingo is non-profit.
David Redmond: Thank you.
Item #5

Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Gantor? Thank you sir.
Norman Gantor: You're quite welcome.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: I just had a question either for Jack or Kay. I thought that we were really
just talking about land use and not really whether or not that the competition with bingo. I
didn't think that we could really make our decision based on competition. Is that correct
Jack?
Jack Whitney: Yes ma'am. The staff conducted its review of this application strictly on its
impact of land use purposes.
Dorothy Wood: We only really talk about land use.
Jack Whitney: Yes ma'am.
Dorothy Wood: Even though there might be a lot of competition, we cannot base our
decision on that?
Jack Whitney: Well, I think you can base your decision on whatever factors you receive and
what to consider. I can tell you though that the staff limits its review to strictly land use.
Dorothy Wood: Land use. Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: The next speaker in opposition is Gerald Martin.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir.
Gerald Martin: Welcome Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. I'm Gerald
Martin. I'm a game manager with one of the charities that conducts a game each Saturday
night at Bingo Palace, and just a little clarification on that, and a couple of comments to some
of the questions. Bingo players are a declining crowd. It is ancient declining crowd. The
commission that regulates these departmental gaming, and has begun to collect its statistics
on that. Our own statistics over four years have shown declining crowds every year, every
quarter. In addition to that we play at a bingo hall that by permit can seat 1,200. We average
250. That is not unusual for a bingo crowd. I'm also a CPA. I've looked at the financial
aspects of this. Bingo is a highly sensitive game to a volume of players. A reduction of 10
percent in the number of players will cut the profit to that charity 50 percent. A decline of 20
percent makes the bingo game break even. It wipes any profits. That is based on our
numbers. That is also not unusual for other charities. I would like to speak in opposition to
it and request that the permit be denied because of the damage that would done to other 11
charities that operate on the same days within about 3 or 4 minutes drive of this proposed
site.
Item #5
Jeb Tolley
Page 6
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. Martin? Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much. Again, just to reiterate, I want to add to what Jack spoke
to, and Ms. Wood, and namely we have had a number of applications for any number of uses,
and only in a few occasions do we have someone raise the issue of competition. It has been
rejected repeatedly, consistently and to my knowledge, unanimously by this Commission and
Council as well as a basis for concern about whether or not there is sufficient market for
anybody. Gymstrada is a charity entitled to do these types of activities just like anyone else.
Let me tell you some things that may, and beyond having said that, let me tell you some other
things that may address some of their concerns. That is, it is there opinion because they are
trying to lease facilities for bingo halls themselves for their own charity and have in the past.
And, they have found that they can't get in. So, I will tell you that there are more charities
looking for spaces then the other one. If there is a decline in activity at a particular location,
I can't speak to that. I don't even know if it is true. But it is true and it may be due to the
fact that whatever is occurring there or the specifics of that particular location or game or
things that are beyond our control. I can tell you that there is demand for more charities to
look for more bingo facilities then there are available on the market today. The second thing
is that Gymstrada will take, and in essence, there are only five opportunities for games during
the course of a week at this location if it is approved with the time restrictions. Of those five,
Gymstrada will take 2 to 3, so it will be only available for two additional charities. So no
one necessarily has to move from one bingo location to another but that will be the decision
of those charities quite frankly. But it shouldn't be a decision. This is a land use process. It
is not a decision on the market. The marketplace decision is left for the marketplace. So, I
will urge you to do follow your staff's recommendation because for all the reasons, this is a
great application. It has the support of all the adjacent property owners. The U.S. Navy and
your Planning Department, and the only opposition is based on fear of competition, which we
all must live through, I'm afraid. I'll be happy to answer any questions Mr. Chairman that
you might have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: Is your client operating this for charity also? If so, are they the same charities
or are they all different?
R.J. Nutter: Of those five opportunities for play, they would be doing this two to three of
those five times would be just for Gymstrada, their charity themselves. The one they operate,
which is to help their kids play in international competition. It is not play. Believe me. I've
seen how they all work, so, having said that, there is opportunity for other charities, at least
two other charities a week to come to this facility. It is their experience that there are more
than sufficient charities looking for locations then there are locations.

Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: I understand that at end you will be available to rent to other charities.
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir.
Eugene Crabtree: We had the one that was over on Baker Road recently had to go the other
way that did not try to buy the building. They are still looking for a place, I know for bingo.
So, but you do plan to rent this space like that.
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. It is open for at least two or three.
Eugene Crabtree: We just had one application recently.
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir you did. I know that application very well, as a matter of fact.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Nutter? Thank you sir.
R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. Thank you very much.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood.
Dorothy Wood: Yes. I understand that the other charities certainly don't want the
competition nor would I if I were in the business. If we were looking at this from the
competition standpoint, perhaps we could vote differently but since we are just looking at
land use, and Gymstrada owns their buildings. I don't know how many groups do own their
own buildings or how many they lease but I think it would be very difficult for them to move
if they do own their building, and because of that, I would like to make a motion that we
approve it.
Barry Knight: There is a motion. Dot? That motion is with the change in language from
"easement" to "agreement"?
Dorothy Wood: Yes sir. It is.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor and a second by Jan Anderson. Ms.
Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: I'm sorry. I have to abstain from this application. My company does
business with the applicant.
Barry Knight: So noted. There is a motion on the floor by Dot Wood to approve and a
second Jan Anderson. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question. Mr. Whitney?

MAYOR OBERNDORF: Next, we have at the request of
Mrs. Henley the briefing on cell
towers. I believe, Mr. Spore, Jack Whitney, the Director of
Planning, and Stephen White, the Planning Evaluation
Coordinator --
CITY MANAGER: They're waiting in the wings, I hope.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Here they are.
JACK WHITNEY: Mayor, Members of Council, nice to be
with you.
Cell phones, about everyone has one these days. They've
changed the way we work. They've changed the way we live.
They've also changed the landscape. In order to make those
little gadgets operate requires a fairly extensive
infrastructure of towers, antennas, and related equipment
throughout the city. We've currently got about 138 active
cell towers in Virginia Beach, 5 more in the pipeline for your
consideration. They require a Conditional Use Permit, and we
have one on your Agenda this evening. We've got two more
tomorrow at the Planning Commission.
We thought that it would be very opportune at this point to
brief you. We briefed you several years ago about cell towers
and technology. We thought that given the number that are
about to come forward that we would provide you a briefing,
hopefully answer frequently asked questions and provide you a
context within which to review these permits as they come
forward. Stephen White from the Planning Department has got a
Power Point to go through with you. We've invited members of
the industry to be here to answer questions, if you have them
for them. With that, let me turn it over to Stephen.
STEPHEN WHITE: Thank you, Jack.
What I want to go through with you today is four main points,
go over the regulations that are in place right now in the
City Zoning Ordinance, the locations that we are aware of
where towers are located, the increase in applications. Why
are we seeing this increase all of a sudden? We've had three
applications a couple of years ago, and we had four or five
last year. We're up to six to ten so far for this year, so I
wanted to take a few minutes and explain that, and then go
over quickly alternatives to your traditional tower, and these
are called Stealth Applications for towers.
Section 232 of the Zoning Ordinance is what regulates
communication towers. Towers need a Conditional Use Permit.
3
There's also the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which
impacts what we, as -- or you, as the City Council, can
actually do in the review of these towers. For example, the
health and safety aspects of towers in terms of radiation and
that kind of thing is a specific item that the Act mentions
that you shouldn't consider in your determination of whether
the location is adequate or not.
When we get an application, the Ordinance requires a site plan
drawn to scale with the details of the tower, a report from a
registered engineer, and a statement from a registered
engineer that the non -ionizing electromagnetic radiation
doesn't exceed the Federal standards, then satisfactory
evidence from the applicant that there is a lack of space on
towers in the immediate area for them to locate on.
For example, this is a couple, maybe three years old. This is
a propagation map for a tower that was proposed but not
approved. Down here, this is Pungo Ferry Road. This is
Princess Anne Road. That's the proposed tower. And these are
various circles where the towers that were in place are
proposed could reach. Service would be good. It's just like
a stoplight almost. The green are the best, yellow, so-so,
red, you're getting in trouble, you're going to fade out and
lose the person you're talking to. And we ask for these to
show that there really is a need for a tower in a certain
location and then we'll work with the applicant to figure out
whether there's some other structure within that circle to
locate on rather than the tower.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Mayor?
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Yes, Mr. Wood?
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Just a specific question. But that
is just for one particular carrier?
STEPHEN WHITE: Right, yes.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: So, for instance, this could be
Verizon but not necessarily Sprint or
AT&T or something?
STEPHEN WHITE: Right, that's true.
Requirements that are in the Ordinance deal mostly with the
setbacks and the height. If it's adjacent to a residential
structure or close to a residential structure, the distance
has to be 125% of the height of the tower. They have to be
painted and illuminated in accordance with FAA Regulations.
4
And landscape plannings are required, and specific types of
landscape plantings are required for different types of
towers.
What we look for and what we're reporting to you when we say
"this tower meets the criteria of Section 232", is whether the
application is for multiple use of a tower. We want to try to
encourage co -location on the towers. Some towers can have
two, some three, some four; depends on the height of the
tower. And the one thing about towers, they've got to be
above the trees. We don't have the topography here, so
everything is flat, as you know, so the towers have to be able
to get past the trees because the trees interfere with the
signal. Report potential users have been contacted; they're
supposed to tell us if they've contacted the other users in
the area and either can't locate on their towers or else those
users don't want to or have no need to locate on their tower.
We look to see if it's going to be in an area where it's
unobtrusive. What we try to do, particularly in areas that
are like a rural area, is locate the tower back in the trees.
Now, of course, the tower, itself, is going to stick up out of
the trees, but there's all that equipment down at the base of
the tower that we try to obscure from view. So, we always try
to push it back in the trees as much as possible. There's an
application on tomorrow's Planning Commission Agenda, for
example, that is going to be deferred because we've been
working with them to push it back farther into the trees so
that the base equipment would be less visible.
This is a map, and I think you got a map in your package on
Friday, and I'm not sure if this is the same map or not. I
think the map you got is a little different from this. This
shows the existing tower sites within the city where cell
antennas are located. The blue dots that you see on there are
proposed towers that have been submitted to us, applications,
and most of them are in the southern part of the city. And
there's one more up here, which goes to the Planning
Commission tomorrow, on Cardinal Drive at the Cavalier Golf
and Yacht Club, and I'll explain that one to you in a second
so you can see why that tower has been proposed.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. Wood has a question.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Is there any way you can tell us how
many of these have co -locations on
them?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes. Well, I've got this map that
ComIT did, and unfortunately there
5
was no way to reduce it, because it was so busy, and give it
to you so you could actually look at it, but this is the
towers that are within the city, plus the water towers that
are within the city, some of which have antennas on them.
And then down here in this table is the key to each of these
numbers, and each of these dots are co -located antenna users.
You've got Alltel, AT&T, Ntelos, Sprint -Nextel, T -Mobile, and
Verizon Wireless.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Then I guess my question is, without
going through each individual tower,
what percentage would you say have co -locations on them?
STEPHEN WHITE: 80o to 900 of them are co -located.
That's the first thing we do when we
get an application or they come in to talk to us, is we look
for co -location.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: So, there's very few that are just
one user, then.
STEPHEN WHITE: The one user ones are usually like a
mono -pole that's got antennas
internal to it that's for a specific user for the purpose of
filling in a gap. Like at the Little Neck Swim and Racquet
Club, you've got those two poles there; those are just mainly
intended to fill in that gap in coverage.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: I think there's four users there.
STEPHEN WHITE: Probably, yes.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. White, I have a number of Council
Members, Mr. DeSteph, Mrs. Henley,
who have questions, if you don't mind.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: My question is on co -location. And
this shows some of the City Water
Towers or all of the City Water Towers?
STEPHEN WHITE: This one actually does.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: That shows, is it, some or all?
STEPHEN WHITE: That's all of them.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: So, on all of the City Water Towers,
we currently have cell phone antennas
now?
I
STEPHEN WHITE: No.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: Okay. Because with the height of our
City Water Towers, if we had cell
phone towers on them, I think it would allow elimination of
other cell phone towers because of line of sight and
right-of-way propagation on the ground.
STEPHEN WHITE: And I'd have to say we agree with
you. We've got some that have
antennas on them because we were looking for just that. I
think you'd have to talk to the Director of Public Utilities.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I think I talked to him last week on
this.
STEPHEN WHITE: Okay. Because he has expressed to us
concerns about keeping our water
towers secure, potential acts of terrorism, etcetera. They've
had issues, too, with the maintenance of antennas that are on
existing towers and the upkeep with those. Some of them have
not been kept up and are causing problems.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I had a long conversation with him on
that, and he's expressed or his
opinion was that they will try to work more with the cell
phone companies wherever possible to put them up on water
towers and then we have our Police antennas, I believe, Insect
Control or Vermin Control or something like that, has in some
of the remote areas towers, as well, that I think would be a
good opportunity to co -locate cell phone antennas on. I think
that would even further eliminate overpopulation.
Have we looked at, up in New Jersey, as you drive around the
New Jersey Turnpike when you get close to New York, I think it
is, there's a couple of Evergreen trees that are really cell
phone towers, and they're really tall but they look like
Evergreen trees. Do we do things of that nature?
STEPHEN WHITE: We have not -- I've got a picture of
a tree in here -- we have not tried
the trees here, and the reason we haven't tried it is because
what we've found out is the height of the towers they desire,
most of the trees around here are 70, 80 feet tall, and these
towers are almost 200 feet tall. So, what you end up with is
this one tree that sticks up above all the other trees,
particularly since we've got this flat topography; whereas, if
it was hilly here, you could stick one of those taller trees
in there and there would be green behind it. We haven't
actually had anybody that wanted to go forward with one of
7
those.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: Okay. I'm sorry, I'm almost
finished. My last point is, when we
sat down today we received a letter, and I don't believe this
is true, but I'm going to read a statement out of here, and
I'd like for you to please quantify or qualify this. It says,
"Carriers do not like --" it talks about "co -location should
be practically mandatory. Several Virginia Beach locations
have towers within throwing distance of each other. Carriers
do not like doing this, as they have to lease space on the
towers. It is cheaper for them to build them", referring to
build towers, "rather than lease space. Whether a tower would
be next to another is not part of their financial equation".
I find that hard to believe that if you look at this from a
financial aspect that it would be cheaper to build a tower
than lease space on a tower or on a water tower or co -locate
with some of the other City towers or facilities that are out
there. I think if we put some kind of a policy out there
stating that where possible, wherever possible and practical,
co -location on existing towers or City -owned towers, being
Water towers, Insect Control towers or our Police towers,
because Police have coverage throughout the city, that that
would probably assist the cell phone companies with making it
easier and allowing more coverage for the little cell phones
all over the city, which I think there's more cell phones out
there now than true point of residence phones in somebody's
house. But if you can, address the question here?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes. I can't -- like you, I find
that statement hard to believe,
because any time one of the providers come in and talks to us,
they'd rather find a location that they could lease some space
on, because building that tower, like you said, is expensive
for them. And the places where we have two or three towers
that are very close together, that is a function more of us,
as the customer, than it is anything else. Because as we
continue to carry our cell phones and use them for roaming the
web, all that kind of activity, it increases, the bandwidth
they need to provide increases, so they have to build more
capacity. So, where they have one tower, they're going to
have to build another tower beside it because the customer is
increasing and demand has gone up. So, I'd have to talk to a
representative to see what their thought on that is, but I
don't -- my experience in talking to them, I don't think
that's an accurate statement.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I had asked for the map that was sent
around to everybody on Friday, and
one of the things was a table on how many 911 calls come via
cell phone and how many come via land line. I thought it was
interesting, it's almost 660 of the 911 calls come from cell
phones, where a third come from point of residence, a
telephone on the wall.
STEPHEN WHITE:
Right.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: But I thought it was interesting, and
I think we really need to look at
this from both Public Safety coverage, the whole -- from a
holistic approach.
STEPHEN WHITE: And I'll take your suggestion about
co -locating on, say, the Police
towers back to them. One of the problems we've had within the
last two years, and it's just something we're going to have to
sit down and talk to the Police and ComIT about, is we route
all of these applications to all of the departments. And one
of the comments we get frequently from ComIT is that the
frequency that's being used, is it going to interfere with our
radio, 911, and Emergency communications.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I think if you could get a good RF
engineer to look at that, because I
can tell you there's ways to filter that out, I mean, it's
done with the Military, it's done throughout the frequency
spectrum across the country, around the world. So, I wouldn't
really buy that very well, if I was getting a professional
opinion from a good RF engineer.
STEPHEN WHITE: We'll go back and talk to them.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mrs. Henley? She's been waiting very
patiently.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: These, I guess, then are just cell
phone towers, because I know the Cox
tower is not on here?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes, ma'am, these are cell phone
towers.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: And these are the City's towers.
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: These are just individual private --
STEPHEN WHITE: Any of the City towers that have cell
E
phones on them are on here, cell
antennas.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Because I know the City's tower on
Pleasant Ridge Road, which I learned
a bad experience from, is a total monstrosity, and it's much
taller than anything else around, extremely visible to every
place, and that's not on here.
Last night at the Ag Advisory Commission, Max Bartholomew
actually approached me before I had a chance to ask him to
tell me that they would be more than happy to work with the
City using, they have a very large, new, transmission line
that comes into the southern part of the city, and he said
they have a telecommunications division that he would be the
contact for it. And they have a lot of capability within
these transmission lines and even at the substations to site
these facilities. And I know we have this new one that just
opened this summer that goes from, I guess, Dam Neck Road in
the Princess Anne Commons area all the way through West Neck
and across the creek and over into the Pungo side probably at
a mile due west of the one that we have before us today.
If we've got that kind of capability, I noticed we approved
one for Sprint on North Landing Road just a couple of months
ago, and that's right in the area where the transmission line
has gone through. I really think, and then, of course, we
have transition lines in other places, as well, but this is a
new one that just has come in this year, and that should give
us a lot of capability that I hope you'll look at.
STEPHEN WHITE: I agree with you. I think you'll be
happy to hear that somebody came in
probably about three weeks ago and wanted to put a tower close
to the Municipal Center here just down on North Landing Road
and approached the property owner. One of the first things I
told him was, "Virginia Power just installed that transmission
line. You're only talking about a half a mile. Why don't you
just go down the street and call Virginia Power and talk about
co -locating there?" So, hopefully, they will follow through
on that, but I think your idea is right on target.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: I thought we had this policy long ago
to require co -location, require that
we look at facilities that might be available; haven't we put
them on stadium lights in high schools and those kinds of
things?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes, I've got a photograph of that.
Yes, ma'am.
1.0
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Are we proactive, as a City, or are
we just taking whatever comes to us
and saying "well, this is what we're going to go with"?
STEPHEN WHITE: I think we're being pretty proactive.
I've got a couple of planners who are
very tough on the providers they won't even take an
application until they're absolutely sure that everything has
been attempted.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: But when I look at the Cox thing, and
it's not even on any maps and it's
sitting there in an area that's 'here we are', I wonder, you
know, I just have to wonder if we're really exhausting all
other possibilities before we're using a new tower.
STEPHEN WHITE: I'll admit to you, there are towers
out there that we're not aware of.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: I know.
STEPHEN WHITE: It's almost like staff or it would be
a good internship project for
somebody to go out there and do an inventory and try to find
all of these towers, whether they're functional or abandoned
or whatever, that we could use. But you're right, there are
some out there, but we do our best. We bend over backward.
I'm sure we have a representative of the industry here right
now that will tell you, it takes a fairly long time to get
through the Conditional Use Permit process, because even
before you submit the application we're going to make sure
that there are no alternatives out there that we're aware of.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mrs. McClanan, followed by Mr. Wood.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: The one I think that kind of borders
on this is the power line up here at
Landstown that just in the last transmission line that
Dominion ran down this way, and there's supposed to be several
attached to that. I don't know how many are. But the problem
is, this is an extremely political -- and what we have here,
AT&T and Singular, I read the article in The Economist when
Mr. McCaw, who's wife is an Ambassador appointed by the
President to some country in Europe, I think it's Austria or
somewhere, but when he borrowed, what was it, $500 million
this last year to expand the world of cell phones with AT&T
and Singular, it was very interesting, the article, and how it
went about how political all these things have become.
11
And it makes it extremely difficult for a locality to try to
encourage people to do things that are right, because the
arguments we used to get were that as you get more towers they
don't have to be quite as tall. And so, then, because I used
to get over there because it was the middle of the city, and
before we had the one on Little Neck we had one there behind
the Plaza, you know Sam's and all that, that's supposedly the
ideal height. When you hear about the ideal height and we're
not going to ask for any more any taller than this, and then
you come down here out in the middle of, you know -- you can't
miss it. You'd have to be blind. And then they seem to think
that they are right or entitled to put these things anywhere
they want to, and the bottom line is it puts people, makes
Barbara look like the bad guy, or whoever happens to be the
Council Member for that District, or if your department
happens to say "well, you know, we want you to be reasonable",
and we don't want our city to have these everywhere.
But some of the things that I've heard said from people who
are associated with the Federal level and other things about
this bother me. It's kind of like the other communications
things that we are supposed to just provide the means to
accomplish the end and shut up and keep our mouth shut and let
them put them where they want to. Because a man told me that
I met with one time here in this city he had a plan for
running them all the way down to North Carolina and into South
Carolina and just straight down and nobody was going to stop
him. The thought that we, lowly Council Members, could stop
him was just totally beyond his thought. He may be right.
I'm not saying that, but I've learned that it's a tough thing.
But if we're going to make these policy decisions, we have to
kind of, if our citizens assume we're looking out for them, we
really do have to have something to base them on. Because,
can you say that we're not going to have any poles any higher
than 195 feet?
STEPHEN WHITE:
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN:
STEPHEN WHITE:
I cannot tell you that.
Or 150 feet?
No.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: The water tower down there behind my
house came up first, and we ended up
the Schools can use the money from putting them on the water
towers and all sorts of good things to make it more palatable.
The bottom line is, when it's your house and your neighborhood
and the pole is next to you, you're the one that's affected,
and it's tough.
12
STEPHEN WHITE: It's difficult, the whole thing is
difficult, because unlike other kinds
of utilities that locate in our right-of-way, this is not a
public utility. But yet everyone that's in this room probably
has a cell phone, and so as we keep using the cell phone and
keep demanding that the cell phone do more, they have to keep
adding the towers. That's why five or ten years ago they said
"we're only going to need this one tower". Well, here they
come back and they need another tower because we keep
demanding more service.
And you're right about the political end of it, because that's
what the Federal Telecommunications Act of '96 was all about
was trying to take you out of the process. Fortunately, you
still have some say in the process, but I'm sure Kay Wilson
could give you a separate briefing, or Bill Macali when he
gets back, on what that Act tells you you can and can't do.
So, there are a lot of factors, and we, as staff, try to do
the best we can in working with the industry to make sure
there are as few towers as possible, but yet they get the
service that they need to serve the customers.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. Wood, followed by Mr. Villanueva,
followed by Mr. DeSteph.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: I think Stephen hit the nail on the
head when he's talking about that it
is customer driven. For example, I won't say what carrier,
but the cell phone I have now gets no coverage here
whatsoever, except when I stand by the window or something
like that, and that's why I'm switching carriers because I
spend a lot of time down here. But a couple of weeks ago we
had that group, and I can't remember, was it -- remember, we
talked about putting the boxes on the telephone poles?
STEPHEN WHITE: Repeaters.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Is that for wireless internet; was
that was that was for, for wireless
phone companies for the data capability?
STEPHEN WHITE: I really don't remember.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: I don't recall. I don't know if Dave
was here, if he remembers that.
STEPHEN WHITE: Do you remember what the repeaters
were for, Gwen came in and gave a
briefing to the Council about two months ago?
13
DAVE HANSEN: I know we have a road capacity issue
related to our current towers. We're
also supporting the Orion System. We just got another $6
million grant associated with that.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: No, but this was a private sector
thing. This wasn't for Public
Safety.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: It had those things that looked
like --
COUNCILMAN WOOD: I mean, because we talked about it,
there was a box, but I --
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: Next G.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Next G, that was the name of it.
STEPHEN WHITE: And I think you're right. I think
what they were doing was they were,
like, a sub for one of the providers, and their purpose was to
go in and install repeaters that would then increase the
coverage for the provider.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: But it was for --
DAVE HANSEN: You're talking about Next G,
Mr. Wood?
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Yes. I'm kind of interested because
a lot of this new tower stuff is
driven by not so much voice communication but data
communication, which is what people are using phones for
nowadays.
DAVE HANSEN: Next G is a cell phone infill
business strategy. In other words,
in the areas where cell towers, and they've really found a
niche in large metropolises that have town centers where they
don't have the cell tower coverage down amongst the high rise,
so they're able to hang these devices, which you saw some of
the pictures in your Friday packet that we handed out to you.
They'll put them on utility poles, they'll hang them on the
side of buildings, at intersections so that they can reach
down this avenue and down that avenue at the intersection, and
they will infill. What they do is they repeat off each.
They'll go to a download. They'll try to and get into a
consolidated transmission switch and then sometimes on a fiber
network and then enter into their transmission system that
14
way.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: Could that possibly minimize
requirements for new towers, I guess,
then, from the provider side?
DAVE HANSEN: I don't know that I can answer what
the business model of Verizon and all
the other uplinks are, but I don't think that in our type of
topography where we're fairly flat and you can get above the
trees, and we don't have a large metropolis center, I mean,
working down, as you know, wireless Wi-Fi down in the Resort
areas seems to be added service that a lot of the hotels are
bringing. But as far as Next G filling in-between there, I
think some of the towers that they've got down in the Resort
area is picking up most of that coverage, so I'm not sure
there's a real profitability for Next G to make a lot of money
in this town.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. Villanueva?
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: Thank you, Mayor.
Steve, I'm probably going to have to agree with Bill and
Barbara that we need to rectify the existing infrastructure
with these cell towers. I noticed, jumping ahead, and since
Bill brought it up earlier about the water towers, is there
somebody from Public Utilities here to address those terms?
STEPHEN WHITE: They're going to be coming to you
soon. I'm not sure when. I had a
discussion.with them. They are drafting a policy on just this
issue, and they're going to be bringing that to you so you
have some say in how they view this. They really feel it is a
security issue, and if it's a last resort, everything has been
exhausted, then they might consider letting a provider install
an antenna on a water tower. But due to the problems they've
had in the past and the advice they're getting from Homeland
Security about insuring that our water towers are secure, they
just haven't been open to it, but they're going to be coming
back to you to talk about that.
COUNCILMAN VILLANUEVA: Walk me through how security is
lapsed on the cell towers. Don't
they coordinate with Public Utilities on maintenance?
STEPHEN WHITE: That, I can't answer. Just from what
I understand, the providers have been
coming to do maintenance, and I think that's just the issue;
they haven't let Public Utilities know that they're coming.
15
We'll talk to them more.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. DeSteph?
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: My former firm did the Drinking Water
Vulnerability Assessments for most of
the large metropolises in the country. So, we had a pretty
good discussion over that in the fact they said "well, they
have access to our water towers, the ability to taint it
there". Well, there are many other easier ways to tamper with
a water source than climbing a 300 foot water tower. So, we
went through that whole aspect of it and came to a consensus
at the end that, well, I was pretty accurate in the fact that
there are many other easier ways to do it, I mean, where
there's no exposure, whatsoever, to being seen or anything
like that. So, once we established that, then it was we
really do need to look at adopting this policy of using our
water towers, which are 200 -plus, 300 -plus, feet in the air.
And I've got to tell you, my cell phone, my computer, I can
turn it on anywhere in this city and it works. My cell phone,
obviously, I guess, I'm with a carrier that does have a lot of
coverage, but whether it's in Blackwater, whether it's over in
Sandbridge on the beach, anywhere I can get pretty good
coverage. And people like me, and I'm probably one that's a
catalyst behind this, I've got my computer on it, I've got my
cell phone, I've got my Blackberry, I'm a heavy user of this,
and I know for a fact that I'm tying up bandwidth. But for
people like me, when you want access, you're going to get it.
There are cities, there are colleges, there are entire
campuses all over the country and counties that actually now
are wired, and you can turn on your computer anywhere and get
a wireless signal. So, I use the Aircard, but without that
there are places in the middle of Mississippi, Oklahoma,
Missouri, crossing the country I flipped it on and I had a
wireless signal not using my Aircard. So, there are just
cities that are wired, and going through a lot of airports and
stuff. So, that's where the future is going, whether we catch
up later or we try to go with the infrastructure now.
But I think what we're trying to say is, if we could put it on
our tallest structures, the water towers, if we can put it on,
as Barbara said, the monstrosities, our towers that are
already up there and have a lot of stuff on it, well, we'll
get a better way to conceal it, but overuse everything you
have that's existing and just do a better job concealing it.
The demand is not going to go down. Like the demand in your
house, when you had a T-1 line, and today you look at a T-1
line and you laugh. That's not enough bandwidth. So, that's
16
why we have fiber to the house. That's why we have fiber to
the desktop in a lot of companies. So, the demand is not
going to go down. It's always going to increase, and we need
to look at a proactive way to go into the future on this, in
my humble opinion, only.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Well, thank you.
Mr. White, have you more to add?
STEPHEN WHITE: If you'd like to see the rest?
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Please?
STEPHEN WHITE: This is a map that was just recently
provided to us by Singular, AT&T, and
it shows their existing towers that are active and then some
proposed towers that they have that are designed to fill in
the gaps that they currently are experiencing. And AT&T, most
of the applications you've got right now are from AT&T, and it
has a lot to do with the money that they have available now.
It also has a lot to do with the fact that the iPhone, AT&T is
the sole provider for the iPhone, so they need to improve and
increase their network.
These are the kinds of maps that we ask for from the
providers. Some are ready, they'll just hand it over. Some
are very reluctant to hand it over, because they feel it's a
trade secret. It would be like Wal-Mart handing you a map.
But we either have a map or we've talked to them and they've
told us "this is where we're headed, this is our general
location".
This is just something, I've got these websites in here for
you to play with when you get home in your spare time, if you
have any. But what you can do with these, these are the main
tower builders. You can go to these websites. This is the
one for American Tower, for example. You can just plug in the
Zip Code. I plugged in 23456. It gives you the map and then
these blue triangles are American Tower's locations. You take
your mouse and you hover over one of these triangles, and a
pop-up comes up. It's a site brochure. It just tells you
everything you need to know about the tower. And then if you
click on "photos", it gives you all the photographs, the
antennas, the equipment boxes, everything you want to know
about that tower. So, this one is the best that I found out
there for the tower construction companies.
The other question we were asked is, "why is there this
increase in applications?" I think Mr. DeSteph told you,
17
himself, as one of the reasons. I'm one of the reasons. Most
of you are one of the reasons. We've got an increasing number
of users. Everyone has got a cell phone, including the kids
now, and they're all using the cell phones all the time,
particularly kids who sit around texting, so the minutes are
going up. There's also new equipment being installed that's
utilizing spectrum that they bought at the last FCC auction,
which was designed to increase the bandwidth; again, the
bandwidth, increased demand for video and other services.
This one, that 4th bullet, there's a new emphasis now on the
residential customer. They want to get into your homes. The
commercial base, they've sort of gotten ahold of, but now they
want to get into the residential base. That's their last
frontier. And then, of course, the increase in the funding;
the money sort of dried up at the end of the 1990's, and now
we've got more money available.
This is an example of filling in the gaps. This is an
application that goes to the Planning Commission tomorrow.
This is at the end of Cardinal Lane, and this is at the Golf
and Yacht Club. This is a tower that's proposed right here, I
think it's next to the swimming pool, and this is designed to
do one thing. This white area is area that has no coverage.
That's Mr. Wood. He's standing right there. He's got no
coverage. The brown area is where you can get coverage if
you're outside or maybe beside the window. The green area is
where you get coverage inside. So, the purpose of this tower
is to fill in that gap. So, now you've got all these people
who previously had no coverage can get coverage inside. These
guys over here, these folks over here, still have to go
outside to get some coverage. But that's the filling in the
gaps that we have right now. That's a monopole and I think
it's 90 feet tall.
And then there's 911, wireless 911; 700 of the population,
probably more now, have a cell phone, and the wireless
providers are required to ensure that we can dial 911 and get
somebody. The next slide shows a chart table that has that
breakdown that we were talking about earlier. As you can see,
there are more wireless 911 calls. Now, I've got to quantify
this or give you a caveat that you may have three or four
people that drive by an accident and all make a call, so
they're all making a call about that same incident. So, that
number, that 70,000, is probably lower, but the point is there
are just as many 911 wireless calls as there are hardline
calls.
These are just some photographs of examples of what I call
"Stealth" technologies. You've got the fake windmill. That
18
silo is actually fake. It just encloses a tower. And this
one down here, that's a repeater that Mr. Wood was talking
about earlier. I see this as being how the companies are
going to break into the residential market a little bit more
and fill in the gaps there, because just like Next G is doing,
they can do this. They're only going to do it, though, when
it is profitable, just like Dave said. If they're not going
to be able to make that profit, they're not going to install
these repeaters.
This is, I think, this is Cox High School, and this is where
the lights for Cox are right there, and then the antenna is up
on the top. And that's an Osprey nest up there. There's
antennas inside this church steeple, and then we have a couple
of these, these are flag poles with the antennas internal. We
have a huge one up at Northampton and Diamond Springs. Here's
the wonderful fake tree. That's the only photograph I can
get. It's sort of unfair because it's in the western part of
the United States, but you can see that most trees would stop
about right in here, so this thing is going to pop up a little
bit higher, and in a flat terrain it's going to be very
visible. This is a fake water tower. So, rather than using
the real water towers, we can always dress them up to be
pretty water towers.
We've already talked about this, so I won't even burden you
with going through that slide. At the end of the report,
there's just some websites you can go to, if you feel inclined
to be more educated about cell towers.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. White, Mr. DeSteph has been
waiting.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: Can you go back to the map of the
Cavalier Country Club, please?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes. Before or after?
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: Either one. Is there a water tower?
Isn't there a water tower in that
area down there?
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes, there is.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: If we went on that water tower,
wouldn't we be able to eliminate that
huge cell tower? The water tower would be --
STEPHEN WHITE: The water tower would
probably -- yes. We're just going to
19
have to sit down and have a discussion with Public Utilities.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I'm more than willing to do it. I'd
share with everybody the Water
Vulnerability Assessment reports, just not open on a camera
because of the sensitivity of providing what accesses there
are. But I think, in this instance, if you put it on the
water tower and allowed it for multiple ones, you'd increase
your coverage of the entire area around there and be able to
hit the increase in demand that we're going to see in the
next, well, today and for the next five years.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Well, I'm sure that none of us have
any objection to your talking, as you
do so often, with staff, but I do want to make it clear that
Public Utilities is looking at this problem, is discussing it
with the Water Task Force, and it is not going without study
and without consideration.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH:
MAYOR OBERNDORF:
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH:
MAYOR OBERNDORF:
Mrs. Wilson?
I did address it with Public
Utilities, as well.
What did I say?
That I discussed it with staff.
I said you had, yes. Well, the staff
is Public Utilities, also.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: It does seem to make a lot of sense
because I know where that water tower
is that Bill's talking about, and it would cover that entire
Bay Colony area, which they seem to be the ones who are
suffering the most.
Lisa, have y'all talked to them about putting it there?
LISA MURPHY: That one has been off limits for a
while, that particular water tank.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: From the City side?
LISA MURPHY: From the City side.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: But what if that changed?
LISA MURPHY: Yes, I think that would be something
worth looking into. I shared with
20
some of the others --
CITY CLERK: Would you go to the podium, please,
and state your name?
LISA MURPHY: I'm sorry. I'm Lisa Murphy, and I
represent AT&T. That, actually, if
you look at, and that might not be a good one, if you look
back at the network map of what AT&T has in the city, there
are three active sites that they originally planned for water
tanks, and this is going on eighteen months ago. There's the
Witchduck water tank. There's a big, beautiful, water tank
along Shore Drive that they'd love to get on. There was a
water tank down in Sandbridge where you see that 302, the blue
dot there; they were looking in that area. Bay Colony,
actually, that water tank is shorter than a lot of the rest of
the water tanks, but that is one that's been off limits for a
while. There's a water tank on Great Neck that doesn't have
any antennas on it, either.
And you know, to a certain extent, I guess, we haven't really
gotten mixed messages in the sense that it's been up to each
department and the answer in the near term from Public
Utilities has been no, but, historically, for some of these
sites like the Bay Colony water tank, the answer was no,
historically. Now, it may be that they don't have enough land
at the bottom, because you've got to have space for the base
station equipment, too, and it may be that that's just too
tight, that there's not enough room. But they do need, each
carrier needs, at least a 12 by 20, at least, space on the
ground to put the equipment and the cabinets that run the
antennas that are on top. So, it does take up quite a bit of
ground space.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Thank you.
Mr. Spore, the recommendation has been made by Mr. Villanueva,
and I don't know if Public Utilities is prepared today to come
and talk in response to the issues that have been raised by
Mr. DeSteph and others on the Council.
CITY MANAGER: I don't think they're here today, but
I know, as you have mentioned, we
have been working at the Water Task Force level to try and
revise the policy to encourage that co -location and yet solve
some of the issues with security and access to the site and
performance of the companies just not doing a good job and not
taking care of the condition of the tank and so on. So,
there's a lot of issues there, but we've asked them to redraft
that policy and that was, I think, they're about a month into
21
that.
MAYOR OBERNDORF:
COUNCIL LADY WILSON:
MAYOR OBERNDORF:
COUNCILMAN WOOD:
Mrs. Wilson?
Mr. Wood had his hand up.
Mr. Wood?
Madam Mayor.
Just a stupid question, because I don't know the technology,
but is it basically a function of the height? I mean, if
you're at a certain height then you're going to get the
coverage; is that how the propagation works?
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: 900 megahertz and 1.2, 1.6 gigahertz,
yes, just line of sight.
LISA MURPHY: Sort of. And you talked about the
taller towers, where you've got vast
areas of the city with no coverage, your basic network we're
looking at just under 200 feet, because you can get the
farthest signal distance; it also encourages co -location.
When you get into, like, parts of, if you put up the map that
shows all the towers in the rest of the city, if you get into
parts of the Great Neck corridor, I counted from Cox High
School down to the Boulevard, there's a structure every mile.
Now, they can be shorter, but that's where you're kind of
filling in the gaps where you've got the most users. So,
there's a difference between your basic network where you just
get basic coverage, and then when you've got your concentrated
users in populations you then have to go back and fill in.
So, you can do shorter. In areas like Little Neck, they would
have loved for those towers to have been taller, but that was
sort of a balance between the community and getting the
signal, which as a lot of folks know the signal isn't carrying
quite as well.
COUNCILMAN WOOD: But I guess my question is, if you've
got a 300 -foot tall water tower that
you can put an antenna on top of, that would solve a lot of
issues?
LISA MURPHY: Yes, but --
COUNCILMAN WOOD: If it's in the right location.
LISA MURPHY: -- but you couldn't, let's say, cover
the city with one 1,000 -foot tower.
COUNCILMAN WOOD:
LISA MURPHY:

go.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Well, today, Mrs. Henley is it your
recommendation that we defer this
until we have a chance to have Public Utilities and others
come back to see how viable some of these suggestions have
been?
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: I would like to do that, because as I
look at this, and this was going to
be my question, I mean, one of my questions, I've got many,
we're looking here at this map of proposed AT&T coverage, but
we've got a number of other carriers, too. And if we do this
same for four or five different companies, what really have we
done? And I think there are a lot of questions out there.
We've got the questions with the water tanks. We've got my
very real feeling that we could utilize the Virginia Power
transmission lines a lot better than we're doing, as well as
other opportunities to hide these, as Bill DeSteph has been
saying.
And I think, really, you know we recognize we need the
coverage, we recognize we need to provide these facilities for
the demand of the market, but I think we have a responsibility
to look at the city as a whole to determine how we can do this
in a fashion that's going to be the least negative impact to
our particularly residential areas. And I think we need to be
in the proactive sense, rather than reactive, and we seem to
be reacting as each of these applications come to us. And I
would really like to see us get an overall broader feeling for
exactly where we're going with all of this, rather than having
to do it every Tuesday one at the time.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Is it the desire of the Council to
want to defer this until we have a
briefing back from Public Utilities and from the engineers who
can give us some idea of how readily they can work with the
transmission lines of Virginia Dominion Power?
23
VICE -MAYOR JONES: You're talking about the Zoning Item?
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Yes.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: We do have one today, and that one's
right here, and I know that there are
a couple of things that are not on the map. Plus, this one I
would really like to see if it wouldn't have the opportunity
to be on this transmission line, because that's right here,
that ends right there, and here we are at this facility. So,
I'm not so sure we've totally exhausted this.
I wanted to ask Mr. White, these pictures of the Stealth
Alternatives, I know the tree is not local, but are these
others local? For example, the antenna within the church
steeple, is that in this area? Don't we also have these
towers on buildings a lot? Of course, that's in the northern
part of the city.
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes. If somebody comes in and wants
to put a cell antenna structure or
really any kind of antenna, communications antenna, on a
building, that's permitted in certain districts, most of the
business districts, the 0-2 and RT Districts where there are
high structures, I think, was the thought. So, there are some
on buildings and they are permitted.
These photographs, although, Mrs. Henley, were taken from a
company that's located in the midwest that specializes in
doing this. And I think that's been part of the problem, is
trying to -- there's not a lot of companies that specialize in
doing this. So, asking a provider to do this causes them some
issues, because they've got to figure out how to make it
happen. It's easier for them just to go with the towers.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: But this one that you mentioned is at
Cox; I mean, that is a local one.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: Yes.
STEPHEN WHITE: Yes.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: I knew there was one at Cox, but this
is, is there something different
about the light tower at the high schools that would make them
candidates but are different from, say, the towers that we
might have at our parks or other --
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: Could I say something about this?
24
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Please?
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: Because I was on the School Board
when we approved the one at Cox High
School, and at that time we opened up a Special Fund so that
all the monies derived from the cell towers went into a
technology fund that served the school to help pay for
technology. And we were a little concerned when we voted on
that, thinking that the people in the Great Neck corridor were
going to complain, and they didn't. Because of the way it was
placed, it really didn't seem to offend anyone or bother
anyone. And it was a really good thing because it does help
the schools with the funding of technology.
STEPHEN WHITE: To answer your question, for example,
we've had a couple of providers
approach us about locating on the tall light poles in our
parks. And we investigated that with our Parks and Recreation
folks, and the answer we got was "we're not interested".
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Why?
STEPHEN WHITE: I'm guessing it's the same thing.
It's a security issue. So, if
Council wants to pursue locating on City facilities, the water
towers, light poles in our parks, the Police Department
facilities, I think it's going to take some discussion amongst
the department heads and the City Council, Mr. Spore, the
Chiefs, and a policy may have to be instituted for us to be
able to go that direction because we've tried and we haven't
gotten a lot of cooperation. I'm not saying anything against
the other departments, but I think they have some legitimate
concerns that need to be addressed before they're open to it.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mr. DeSteph?
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: On the Parks being a security risk,
I'm not quite sure where you're going
with that or where they're coming with that. That doesn't
make a whole heck of a lot of sense, to me, but maybe I'm
missing something.
Jim, any idea?
CITY MANAGER: It's the first I've heard of it. We
will check it out. It doesn't sound
right to me.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: I think that if there is something
25
that's available like that, we should
utilize it.
CITY MANAGER: That's what I thought our policy was,
that we were trying to push
co -location to the maximum extent possible. And I'm really
surprised to hear departments aren't cooperating, and I'll put
an end to that tomorrow.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: Perfect.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: I do think I would ask to have this
deferred until we have a little more
discussion and flesh it out a little bit more.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: Madam Mayor raised the question,
whether we wanted to wait. I think
that we've found that we've got a lot of unanswered questions
here, and these things, once they go up, they're permanent.
And I remember when Barbara was on Council before, and I'll
never forget this expression, she said, "If we're not careful
we're going to become a martian city." And that sort of stuck
with me with all these. It's just given me a mental image,
thinking about that. I think we've raised so many questions
here today that I think it's important to us as a city that we
should go ahead and explore. So, I would support waiting and
getting some of these questions answered.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Okay. Mr. DeSteph?
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: If we do, can we put a time line on
the deferral of this so people don't
push it out for a year? If we could, say, let's defer it 30
days or 45 days, so there's some sense of urgency to get it
done so we're not leaving businesses in flux.
COUNCIL LADY WILSON: I support that.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Mrs. Henley?
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Well, maybe, is 60 days too long,
because I'm thinking of a couple that
we have pending that are pretty -- and I want to give plenty
of time to really do it, but I do think it should have a
definite time. I don't think it should be indefinitely,
because I think we need to work on it.
COUNCILMAN DESTEPH: What's reasonable on this, Jim, 45
days, 30 days, 60 days?
26
CITY MANAGER: Forty-eight hours, as far as I'm
concerned. We can get to it.
Certainly, 60 days is fine.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: And perhaps Mr. Bartholomew can come
and explain to us what he's told the
Farm area about.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: Yes, that should be an easy call. He
said he would be a contact person,
but they have a telecommunications division that actually
works on this and probably bring a lot of expertise.
COUNCIL LADY MCCLANAN: And if there are other people in the
community who have some thoughts and
ideas, because this is not going to go away, and while we're
looking at it we might as well hear everybody. Because I
think that if we don't take charge of it, it's going to happen
to us if we're not ready to work with it. I think what
Barbara's done is good. I think what you all have done is
good.
STEPHEN WHITE: If anybody has an idea, feel free to
e-mail me, swhite@vbgov.com. I'll
consider the ideas.
COUNCIL LADY HENLEY: All right. Thank you.
MAYOR OBERNDORF: Thank you very much.

concluded.)

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use
Permit for a communication tower on a portion of property located at 1052
Cardinal Road (GPIN 2418246584). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN.
MEETING DATE: November 27, 2007
■ Background:
The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower to
be located adjacent to the swimming pool area for the Cavalier Golf and Yacht
Club. The proposed communication tower will host three carriers, is 95 -foot tall,
and is a stealth or "slick stick" style of monopole.
This application has not been through the two new steps for review of
communication towers presented by staff at City Council's November 6 meeting.
Those steps consist of (1) the submission of an affidavit from the applicant
pertaining to their attempts to collocate on another structure or existing tower,
and (2) review of the application by the internal staff working group.
■ Considerations:
The submitted site plan depicts a 525 -square foot lease area adjacent to the
maintenance facility and behind the pool area. A proposed 12 -foot by 20 -foot (12'
x 20) shelter for equipment and the tower are proposed within the lease area.
Fencing and landscaping will enclose the lease area. A 20 -foot access easement
for the roadway to the lease area will be recorded.
Staff determined that the proposed tower meets the criteria specified in Section
232 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The City of Virginia Beach Department of
Communications and Information Technology (COMIT) reviewed the request and
found it acceptable in regard to potential for interference with City
communications.
■ Recommendations:
Due to the need for this application to be reviewed through the two new process
steps established on November 6, a deferral of this application is
recommended.
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 2of2
1. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted
development plans entitled "BIRDNECK POINT, site number NF304A",
prepared by ALLPRO Consulting Group, Inc., and dated 2/2/07. The tower
shall be developed in accordance with the submitted plan entitled "Tower
Elevation", prepared by Thompson and Litton, and dated 10/4/07. Said plans
have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the
Virginia Beach Department of Planning.
2. The proposed tower shall not exceed 95 -feet in overall height.
3. 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 original tower and
for all subsequent users.
4. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
arises from the user(s) 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
cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
5. In the event that antennae on the tower are inactive for a period of two years,
the tower shall be removed at the applicant's expense.

REQUEST:
Conditional Use Permit for a Communication Tower
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located at 1052 Cardinal Road
GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
24182465840000 5 - LYNNHAVEN 525 square feet (lease area)
The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit for a SUMMARY OF REQUEST
communication tower to be located on the site. The proposed
communication tower will host three carriers, is 95 -foot tall, and is a stealth or "slick stick" style of
monopole. The submitted site plan depicts a 525 -square foot lease area adjacent to the maintenance
facility and behind the pool area associated with the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club. A proposed 12 -foot by
20 -foot shelter for equipment and the tower are proposed within the lease area. The equipment shelter
will be 9 -feet, 10 -inches in height and made of metal. Fencing and landscaping are proposed to enclose
the lease area. A 20 -foot access easement for the roadway to the lease area will be recorded.
The applicant states a thorough search of the area was conducted without success for the purpose of
attempting to find an existing tower or structure with antenna space that would provide the coverage
needed. Since the search was not successful, the applicant is requesting this use permit to allow a
communication tower on the site.
LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION
EXISTING LAND USE: The Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club clubhouse, tennis courts, pool, and maintenance
facilities occupy the site.

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as a Primary Residential Area. The land use planning
policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area.
Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services to residential
neighborhoods are considered acceptable uses provided effective measures are taken to ensure
compatibility and non-proliferation of such activities.
Evaluation:
The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Communication Tower is acceptable. The applicant
searched the area for collocation availability and was unable to locate an existing tower or a structure tall
enough to meet the network needs. The applicant provided maps of the existing AT&T network in the city,
the existing network coverage, and the proposed network coverage maps to demonstrate tower locations
and network needs.
The applicant also provided a structural report confirming the tower will be designed in accordance with
the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and will accommodate one carrier. Additionally the
submitted NIER (non -ionizing electromagnetic radiation) report states "...the proposed operation at this
site would not result in exposure to the Public excessive levels of radio-frequency energy as defined by
the FCC Rules and Regulations, specifically 47 CFR 1.1307, and that Cingular Wireless' proposed
operation is completely compliant". The City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and
Information Technology (COMIT) reviewed the request and found it compliant.

REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 7, New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. An
application of New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for a
communication tower on a portion of property located at 1052 Cardinal Road, District 5,
Lynnhaven, with six conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome Lisa.
Lisa Murphy: Good afternoon Chairman and members of the Commission. For the record,
my name is Lisa Murphy, and I'm a local attorney, and I'm here today on behalf of AT&T,
which is formerly Cingular Wireless. The application itself, again, unlike some of the
applications that you heard today, and at other times is really driven by technology. And the
primary issue here is the need for the radio frequency engineer and the network to fill a hole
that they have in their coverage. This is a whole lot like the situation at Little Neck, only on
a smaller scale because you have a situation where you have a peninsula largely or almost
entirely residential. You will see in the center is 304s site location, but this is all Birdneck
Point over here. Some of the surrounding sites over here, you have a site at the hospital is
actually only 72 feet tall. It is limited because it is on a rooftop. Along here, obviously, you
have a couple of high rises at the Oceanfront where they are getting coverage at the
Oceanfront and somewhat away from the Oceanfront. Those high rises, I think are 160 some
odd and 170 feet. Unfortunately, as we're starting to see, and again which is the case at
Little Neck, there have been some spots on Great Neck Road in the residential areas, but now
that we have, I think the numbers are 233 million users, and we've gone essentially from the
technology that is really limited to drivers and folks using them in their cars on the highways
and on the major roadways, we've got an industry now that has matured and almost all users
expect to use their phones inside their homes. So what this map shows is the coverage on
this Birdneck peninsula. There aren't any facilities around it. They have been looking for
awhile to site a facility. There were some controversy on this, but for the carriers, it is
cheaper and easier to go to a structure that is already there. You know, there is a great deal
of certainty. There are no public hearings. Unfortunately, they don't need folks like me.
They can locate on the site. So, in this situation, you got the unique problem of being a
highly residential peninsula, which is really the majority of our users. The site itself, after
meeting with the neighborhood, and what we did at the outset knowing there was a prior
application on this property that was controversial, we sent a post card to all 250 residents of
Birdneck Point, set up a meeting at the country club, which they did very nice job hosting for
us. And we shared with them the application that we had. What makes this application
different, and I think you got a photo, and it is not the exact photo, but this particular design
Item #7
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 2
and what it shows is the design as a pole design. What we had originally proposed, much
like at the high schools, is the flush mounted antennas, where the antennas are right on top of
the pole. In meeting with the neighbors, we talked about a variety of designs. Stealth
designs, flag pole was thrown out. That might be something that would look good. Tree was
thrown out. But largely, what the folks decided was the design where you have a slick -stick
stealth, meaning unfortunately, it is unlike this picture. But you have everything internalized
in that pole. And that is the design they felt most comfortable with. They didn't want a flag
on it because that would flap in the wind. They wanted just to see a pole. The height of this
is right at 90 feet. You've got some new plans, I think. This is still the older plan. But the
new plan shows the top of the structure. You have antennas that are internalized. So there
was some discussion about that in condition 2. The plan itself will be the revised plan that
shows the internalized. We got a picture of that which I can show you. There is actually
opaque material at the top of the pole, the antennas are put inside, so you really wouldn't
know by looking at this what it was designed for. This one is 90 feet. I think the light poles
at Little Neck are 110 feet. Just to give you some frame of reference. There is a pole at the
Wave Church at Great Neck Road that is actually 130 foot pole, again all with internalize
antennas. And what we said to the folks was, you know, take a look at the design at the
Wave Church, which is actually 40 feet taller. And they were comfortable with that design.
So, that was the design that we decided on. And unfortunately, as a result of some
engineering issues we were a little bit slow getting that to Faith, but that was the commitment
that we made to the community. Again, we met with the folks and they felt comfortable with
the design. I don't think there is anyone here today. We respectfully request that you
approve this given that it is a stealth design slick -stick and it is limited to 90 feet. I think, the
staff report says 95 feet, but it is actually a 90 foot structure. And, I'm happy to answer any
questions that you have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Murphy at this time? Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: So Ms. Murphy you would be happy with the deletion of the old number
two condition?
Lisa Murphy: Yes.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Whitney, if you would, in our informal session today, we know there is a
study going on most cell towers, and specifically the ones in rural areas. Can you kind of
summarize for us our thoughts and your thoughts about why it probably wouldn't be a bad
idea to forward with this one today?
Jack Whitney: Yes sir. As you mentioned, staff has briefed the Commission last month, and
yesterday we provided a similar briefing to City Council. There are five Use Permits
applications for cell towers in the process. We thought it was helpful to both the Planning
Commission and City Council to provide information about the latest technology and answer
some of the frequently asked questions about such towers in terms of why they need to be
Item #7
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 3
located where they are and why they need to be as tall. Can they be more stealthy? And
some of the land use impacts to the landscape and the surrounding neighbors have been
raised. There was one cell phone tower application, which was heard by City Council
yesterday. In lieu of that, and those issues, the City Council deferred that application for 45
days and directed the staff to look at alternatives including collocation of these facilities, this
infrastructure on other public infrastructure such as water towers, light poles, and so forth,
and private infrastructures such as private utilities power transmission lines for example. The
item yesterday was in the southern part of the city. There had been some opposition to it. I
believe this one can be differentiated from those. First off, there is no opposition that I'm
aware of. It is not in the southern part of the city. Alternatives for collocation are drastically
reduced, if even present for this particular application. And, they are proposing a stealth type
technology. Slick -stick is a new term for me. So, I think that the fact that they're using
stealth technology, which was one of the issues raised by Council, it is not in the southern
part of the city, there are relatively few, if any, alternatives for collocation here, and there is
no opposition, I think differentiates this from some of the other similar applications that are
in the process right now.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Whitney. Is there any discussion? Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: In accordance with Mr. Whitney's comments, I think I would like to make a
motion to approve this application.
Barry Knight: Is that with the deletion of condition 2?
Kathy Katsias: With the deletion of condition 2.
Dorothy Wood: I would like to second it.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor to approve by Kathy Katsias and
seconded by Dot Wood, also noted the deletion of condition 2. 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: November 27, 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.
On October 9, 2007, this application was deferred by the City Council for 45
days. This application has not been through the two new steps for review of
communication towers presented by staff at City Council's November 6 meeting.
Those steps consist of (1) the submission of an affidavit from the applicant
pertaining to their attempts to collocate on another structure or existing tower,
and (2) review of the application by the internal staff working group.
■ 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 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
Cingular Wireless — Charity Neck Road
Page 2 of 3
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.
There was opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
Due to the need for this application to be reviewed through the two new process
steps established on November 6, a deferral of this application is
recommended.
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
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
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.

WATER & SEWER: Water and sewer are not available. The proposed use does not require service.
FIRE: No comments at this time.
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 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 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.

Item #25
Cingular Wireless
Conditional Use Permit
4021 Charity Neck Road
District 7
Princess Anne
September 12, 2007
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 Anne 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: 3640-41.77 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,
Cecil E. Nichols
