CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
GREEN RIBBON INITIATIVE
ITEM # 58265 (Continued)
Phase 1 - Ordinances
• Ordinances — November 25, 2008, Council Agenda
• Residential Right -of -Way
• Site Stabilization
• Prohibition of Feeding Wildlife
• Residential Right -of -Way:
• Remove the requirement of sixty -(60) foot' right-of-way, thirty -six -
(36) foot' paved section for minor residential streets
Mr. Frankenfield advised it was extremely difficult to go back and retrofit any existing residential streets.
It will not affect existing residential streets. The goal is to continue with the standard utilized and not
expand it, thereby reducing impervious service and improving water quality.
The City Manager advised the standard for many years has been a fifty -(50) foot' right-of-way and thirty
(30) foot' pavements. This is only an amendment to the City Code to remove the old reference.
Karen Lasley, Zoning Administrator, advised the new subdivisions would have sidewalks and a
doublewide driveway.
• Site Stabilization:
• No occupancy permit without stabilization such as sod, seeding
blankets and/or matting
Staff is requesting the site stabilization ordinance be DEFERRED one week (December 2, 2008) to
continue discussions with the Tidewater Builders Association.
• Prohibit Feeding of Wildlife
• Prohibition on PUBLIC property only
• Posting of signs required — Mount Trashmore Park only site
currently planned
• Maximum fine Fifty Dollars ($50)
• Part of a larger/long term wildlife management program
This proposed Ordinance has been supported by the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals)) and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Mr. Frankenfield advised there are
signs at Mount Trashmore, but the are not enforceable. There have been six (6) repeat offenders in
different locations throughout the City. Mr. Frankenfield advised there was earlier opposition to this
Ordinance. However, by making this Ordinance affect public property only, the opposition seems to have
been resolved. Mr. Frankenfield suggested continued education.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
3:20 P.M.
ITEM # 58266
Tom Leahy, Director of Public Utilities, gave a history of Uranium Mining in Virginia:
• 1973-78: Uranium prices create push to mine uranium in the Piedmont of Virginia
• 1979-82: Three Mile Island and UMTRCA (Uranium Mining Tailings Radiation Control Act)
sensitize public to radiological pollution
• 1983: Virginia General Assembly enacted Moratorium on uranium mining
• 1985: Virginia Coal and Energy Commission (VCEC) formed the Uranium SubCommittee
and an Uranium Administrative Group (US/UAG) which recommended lifting the
Moratorium. Virginia Beach and other localities adopted resolutions in opposition. The
z,oratorium remains in effect today.
Uranium Mining in Virginia: 2007-08
• Skyrocketing uranium prices renew interest in uranium mining in Virginia
• Deposits in Pittsylvania County may be very large, worth as much as $7-10 BILLION
• A Canadian Company, doing business as Virginia Uranium Ltd., is created to "invest and
actively participate in the management, business and operations of Virginia Uranium Inc."
through its representation on the board and its shared management with Virginia Uranium,
Inc.
• Virginia Uranium is conducting a Public Relations and Lobbying Campaign to have the
uranium mining Moratorium lifted
• In the 2008 the General Assembly, SB525 proposed the Virginia Mining Commission and a
study of uranium mining impacts. It did not become law.
• Earlier this month, the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission (VCEC) formed a subcommittee
and asked the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (VCCER) to contract for a study
on the impacts of uranium.

CITY MANAGER `SBRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
ITEM # 58266 (Continued)
Uranium Mining — The Process
• Open pit mine: Uranium ore is excavated
• Pulverizing mill: Uranium ore is ground into sand ANclay-like particles
• Chemical Plant: Uranium is leached out of the pulverized ore
• 1,000 pounds of ore produces 1 pound of uranium and 999 pounds of mill
tailings
• Mill tailings retain eighty-five percent (85%) of the original radioactivity for
» 300,000 years
Uranium Mining Tailings
• Tailings are highly susceptible to transport by air and water
• Tailings are stored as slurries and sludge, then ultimately as dewatered piles
• Non -radioactive overburden, clay, and liners are used to construct
confinement cells and caps to confine and immobilize the tailings
Virginia Uranium Proposal
• 100 -MILLION pounds of yellowcake at 4 -MILLION pounds per year (2,000
tons per year) for twenty-five (25) years
• Current United States. production (all in the West) is 1,700 tons/year
• Current United States capacity (all in the West) is 2,900 tons/year
• Current United States reactor demand is 23,000 tons/year (90% imported)
November 25, 2008

CITY MANAGER'SBRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
ITEM# 58266 (Continued)
Uranium Mill Tailings
• 100 -MILLION pounds of uranium yellowcake will result in 5 -MILLION
tons (30 -MILLION cubic yards) of mill tailings
• Twelve (12) confinement cells, each forty (40) acres, and 2.5 -MILLION
cubic yards
• Mount Trashmore = 20 acres and 1.3 -MILLION cubic yards
• Depending upon groundwater, much of the cell may be below ground
Uranium Tailings Legacy
• Historically, tailings were not properly confined resulting in radioactive
contamination of ground and surface waters
• Legacy of human and environmental tragedy: 1950's to early 1980's
• 1978: Federal government stepped in to remediate —abolished the Atomic
Energy Commission, but created the Department of Energy (DOE) and
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which in turn created the Uranium
Mill Trailnngs Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA).
• Clean up has cost BILLIONS over three decades — work and costs ongoing
Uranium Mil Tailings Radiation Control Act (Title 1 and 2)
• Twenty-four (24) abandoned sites under jurisdiction of Department of
Energy, twenty-six (26) Licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) or NRC Agreement States)
• All sites, but Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, located in the west — virtually all
in the arid West
• Total of 250 -MILLION tons of tailings
• Sites ranging from 2 to 33 -MILLION tons (except the Pennsylvania
site which is very small)
• Cole's Hill tailings: 50 -MILLION tons
Mr. Leahy displayed a map reflecting the Uranium Mining Tailings Radiation Control Act sites. The
vast majority are in five (5) states: Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
The Past versus the Present
• Virginia Uranium does not dispute past issues with uranium tailings
• They indicate that modern confinement cell design and Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regulations will protect surface waters
• The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations require that
confinement cells be designed for at least a 200 year life or 1,000 years if
"reasonably achievable"
• Hurricane Camille was estimated to have caused 2,000 years of erosion in a
single night

CITY MANAGER'SBRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
ITEM # 58266 (Continued)
Tailings Piles in Virginia
• Unlike the West, precipitation is high and evaporation is low
• Water management is far more complex
• Many historical confinement structure failures caused by inability to manage
water
• In Virginia, storms have generated near probable maximum precipitation
(PMP)
• Probable maximum participation (PMP) can erode and fragment virtually
any earthen structure (man-made or natural)
• Probable maximum participation (PMP) will transport sediments great
distances downstream very quickly
Coles Hill
Poss.ble Uranium Mining Site
Drinking Waler Sources Downstream from
Proposed Coles Hill Uranium Mining Site
Maximum Probable Precipitation
• In Virginia, about 29 inches in six hours
• 1969 - Hurricane Camille — 27 to 31 inches (unofficial estimates higher)
• Like standing under a waterfall
• 2,000 years of erosion in one night
• Mountainsides stripped clean
• 1995 — Madison County - similar intensity but over a smaller area
Mr. Leahy displayed United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps indicating all 23,000 Steam Gages
which were or are now in existence and location of Steam Gages with extreme flood events.

CITY MANAGER'SBRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
ITEM # 58266 (Continued)
Three (3) of the top five (5) most intense 12 -hour storms in the United States occurred in the Mid -
Atlantic region: Smethport, Pennsylvania — 1942; Nelson County, Virginia — 1969; Madison County,
Virginia -1995
Current Radiological Levels
Virginia Beach -Norfolk Water Systems
*Under this level, the Environmental Protection Agency indicates there will never be any radiological
health effects
Worst Case Scenario
• Storm similar to Nelson County fragments confinement cells and transports radioactive
sediments to Lake Gaston
• Radiation levels rise to Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) levels
• Virginia Beach defaults on services contract
• Ultimately, contract is terminated, Virginia Beach liable for stranded costs
• Virginia Beach abandons Lake Gaston Project and builds desalting plant
• Cost to Virginia Beach > $500 -MILLION
• Unlikely but not inconceivable
Virginia Coal and Energy Commission (VCEC) Study
• The Virginia Coal and Energy Commission's (VCEC) appointed subcommittee has no
representation from the Roanoke Basin. However, Senator Frank Wagner (Virginia
Beach) is a member of that Subcommittee
• Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Center Research (VCCER) is heavily weighted by coal,
energy and transportation interests
• No environmental, public health or water supply agency has direct involvement in the study
• No funding has been identified
• The 1985 Uranium Subcommittee and an Uranium Administrative Group (US/UAG)
recommendation to move forward is perplexing given what was going on at the time
Staff Recommendation
• Oppose uranium mining in Virginia, oppose lifting of the Moratorium on uranium mining,
and oppose any attempt to develop a regulatory framework for uranium mining until it can be
demonstrated to the City's satisfaction that there will be no significant release of radioactive
sediments downstream

CITY MANAGER `SBRIEFING
URANIUM MINING IN VIRGINIA
ITEM # 58266 (Continued)
Uranium Mining Impact Study
• Completely open to public scrutiny
• Independent experts who are provided adequate time and resources
• Include modeling and simulation of Probable Maximum Participation (PMP) storms and
tailings cell failure
• Include a peer review group that is independent of the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission
and Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (VCEC/VCCER), as well as including
public health, environmental, water supply and water resource agencies, including the United
States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Councilman Villanueva suggested a City Council Member or Tom Leahy be a participant in the study by
becoming a member of the board.
Mr. Leahy is concerned if Virginia Beach might be a minority voice on this Board. Mr. Leahy referenced
an e-mail signing scoping comments should be prepared quickly for submission to the Subcommittee.
The City Manager advised the Water Task Force has conducted a couple of meetings relative this subject.
There was also one meeting conducted with the Virginia Uranium Mining interests.
Mayor Oberndorf became active in the Virginia Municipal League upon first being elected to City
Council. Mayor Oberndorf and a member of the City Council in Fredericksburg, joined with an alliance
from Orange County encouraging the Virginia Municipal League to OPPOSE lifting the Moratorium on
Uranium Mining. Lake Gaston needs to be protected. Without Lake Gaston, Virginia Beach would not
be the City it is.
Council Lady Wilson advised she contacted Mike Amyx, Executive Director - (VML) — Virginia Municipal
League, requesting he contact Dr. H. Lee Cantor, Cardiologist in Virginia Beach and President —
Virginia Beach Medical Society. He was accompanied by Andrew Lester — Pittsylvania County, who
spoke during the Open Mike Session, on October 7, 2008, relative the details concerning lifting the ban
on Uranium Mining and their public health concerns. Mr. Amyx is very concerned with this issue. This
presentation needs to be shared with others.
Council Lady Henley advised the Water Task Force recommendation should be "strongly" worded and
based on science, as this topic (uranium ruining) is a long term safety and welfare issue.
Resolution to OPPOSE uranium mining in the Commonwealth of Virginia unless and
until an unbiased, conclusive study can demonstrate no significant release of radioactive
sediments downstream
Shall be scheduled for the City Council Session of December 2, 2008.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
4:20 P.M.
ITEM # 58267
Mayor Oberndorf congratulated the new bridegroom, Councilman John E. Uhrin, and wished he and
Kathy great happiness for many years.
ITEM # 58268
Council Lady Henley referenced the FIVE-YEAR FORECAST (FISCAL YEARS 2010 THROUGH
2014) presented at a Joint Workshop of the Virginia Beach City Council and School Board.
Catheryn Whitesell, Director — Management Services, had advised this Forecast was difficult due to the
turbulence in the overall economy. The Forecast depicts a substantial deficit driven predominately by
lower revenues, not rising costs.
• The FY 2010 Deficit
City Schools
$ 38.3 $ 42.9
Total Deficit: $ 81.2
Council Lady Henley advised City Council should be given more information for their critical decisions
that will be necessary over the next two (2) City Council Sessions. The City Council is still concerned re
the current budget year. Council Lady Henley referenced the memorandum of November Seventh re the
2009 State Budget reductions and quoted a particular section: "For all State employees, the Governor
has delayed the FY 2009 pay increase that was scheduled for December 2008 until next July. (Note: that
with the exception of the Sheriff's and Clerk of the Court's employees, all other Constitutional Officer
employees receive City pay raises not State. In the case of the Sherff's Office employees, their pay raise
was advanced by City Council from December 2008 to July 2008 at the recommendation of the Sheriff)"
Council Lady Henley inquired if they are not now going to receive the pay raises from the State until July
2009, does that mean the City Council will be expected to fund the next six (6) months. The City Manager
advised the first five (5) months were paid and the staff is trying to equate the implications. Does that
mean the raise by City Council is rescinded for the last seven (7) months of the year?
Monthly reports are being received from various Departments to achieve the 1.25% reduction over all the
City. Only two (2) Departments have not reported to -date.
The City Departments are encouraged to save 1.25% of their current appropriations.
Council Lady Henley inquired relative the decrease in gasoline and if this would affect the 18 %z% fuel
adjustment from Dominion Power.
The City Manager advised confirmation of Transportation funding. The Governor 's Budget is scheduled
for December 17, 2008.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 58268 (Continued)
David Hansen, Assistant City Manager, advised the October 2008 Interim Financial Financial
Statements will be distributed November 26, 2008. The Annual Audit is now occurring. This should
provide a good understanding of the expenditure rate. Departmental expenditures are 37.9% expended,
which is the same ratio as the prior year, indicating that the City departments are continuing to control
costs. The trend also indicates that reduced expenditures will be able to meet our self-imposed 1.25%
budget reduction. A quarterly report will be provided concerning the 1.25% reduction in January.
Energy meetings have been conducted relative the jointly shared buildings. A test lighting replacement in
the City's Treasurer's oIce is now being conducted and recommendations will be provided.
Relative the Schools Reversion Funds of $33.1 -MILLION, and allocation of some of this funding, the
City Manager advised the Virginia Beach School Board wishes to utilize 25% of this funding for typical
needs at the end of the year i.e. buses. The other 75% of the funding would be reverted back into their
Reserve Fund. The City Manager needs assurances this would only be used for one time expenditures or
placed in the Reserve Fund, City Council adopted this Policy several years ago which requires a two-
thirds vote of Virginia Beach City Council and the School Board for access to these funds. This vote will
be scheduled for the School Board on December 2, 2008, and Virginia Beach City Council on December
9, 2008.
Robert Matthias, Assistant City Manager, advised last week the Commonwealth Transportation Board
last week received a Briefing and they are now reviewing another 60% cut. The new six-year plan should
be received in December. The Federal funds corning to the State is actually being reforecast. The City
Manager and staff have been trying to prepare for a possible Federal stimulus package. Some potential
projects will be identified.
Relative the strategic map with the City Council's goals and visions placed on the City's website, Mr.
Hansen referenced a meeting will be conducted with Lyle Sumek, Facilitator, Monday, December 1,
2008, to prioritize. This information will be forwarded for City Council's review and then posted.
The City Manager will forward topic suggestions for Workshop discussions to City Council for their
consideration.

Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial, and that stock ownership causes him to have a
"personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting

appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of
Goodman and Company and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Goodman and Company's
transactions. However, due to the size of Goodman and Company and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Goodman and Company has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the

The following registered to speak:
Claudia Cotton, represented the Tidewater Builders Association, 2117 Smith Avenue, Chesapeake
23320, Phone: 420-2434, congratulated the Green Ribbon Initiative. The building industry has
seen a growing acceptance of "green" building products in the market and Tidewater Builders
is happy to be involved in this initiative. A new Green Building Council has commenced this year
and Mrs. Cotton invited Members of City Council to attend. Relative the Amendment to §30-59 of the
City Code, Ms. Cotton requested the City Council continue to incorporate flexibility for the Building
Official to issue temporary Certificates of Occupancy if conditions prohibit site stabilization.
Otherwise, Tidewater Builders is in agreement with the Ordinance.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Oberndorf CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ITEM # 58277
Mayor Oberndorf DECLARED A PUBLIC HEARING:
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) Central Business District (CBD) Northeast Tax
John McMullen, 504 Ben Hogan Drive, Phone: 499-3799, thanked Mayor Oberndorf and Council Lady
McClanan for their years of service and complimented their intellect and knowledge. Mr. McMullen
offered a suggestion and solution as he does not agree with extending the TIF across Virginia Beach
Boulevard and bringing the existing line down. The City would be better served by moving the existing
line to the other side. The individuals who will use the bridge should pay the cost.
Sam Reid, 1533 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Phone: 284-1067, registered in OPPOSITION. Pembroke
Mall has not made an actual commitment. This item should be deferred for six (6) months until the
formulation of the Operating Budget, which would reflect available funds. Once the TIF is created, funds
will be taken from the General Fund. Mr. Reid was also concerned relative the $3 -MILLION cost. Mr.
Reid suggested a Special Service District instead of the TIF as another vehicle to provide the funding.
Glen Huff, President of Central Business District Association, 2133 Windward Shore Drive, Phone: 481-
0589, registered in SUPPORT of the TIF. Mr. Huff cited the three (3) main reasons: economic, as the
TIF encourages private industry to invest substantial dollars (which is being contemplated with this
particular TIF); this pedestrian bridge is greatly needed for safety; and, finally the Vision (for more
than two (2) decades the City of Virginia Beach has had a vision to create the City's -soul" in the
Central Business District, composed of four (4) quadrants that would be connected in a pedestrian
friendly way). The infrastructure would be provided without creating a burden on the taxpayers.
Martin Waranch, 111 6611' Street, Phone: 491-3343, registered in OPPOSITION. Mr. Waranch is
concerned, as a citizen, that conditions are not suitable now for this City to incur additional
obligations. Mr. Waranch urged consideration of other economic problems.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Oberndorf CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
The City Manager responded to nine (9) points contained in the Virginian -Pilot Editorial appearing this
past weekend re Tax Increment Financing. The editorial staff indicated strong support of the Town
Center in the past, but "times have changed and Virginia Beach should not proceed with the project in a
recession ". Times are changing and these buildings are not going to be built in the next few weeks. A
three-year process is entailed to design and build Phase IV of Town Center. Hopefully, by that time, the
economic cycle will have "turned". .
The City Manager advised the project, being Town Center, has generated and will generate surplus
revenues over $5 -MILLION per year. With completion of Phase IV, the increase would be approximately
$7 -MILLION per year. This project creates employment and economic opportunity. This is the
motivating purpose of the project, launched approximately ten (10) years ago.
November 25, 2008
Item V -H.2.
PUBLIC HEARING
- 24 -
ITEM # 58277 (Continued)
Concerning the increased financial burden on the public, this comment indicates a lack of understanding
concerning Tax Increment Financing (TIF). In a TIF District, the private sector invests and constructs the
properties and only upon completion of the project does the Development Authority assume ownership.
When the project is completed, the project is on the tax rolls and those taxes pay the cost for the debt
service. Safeguards have been included in the three (3) previous phases of Town Center, coupling the
TIF District with the Special Tax District and guaranteed payments by the Developers. Therefore, the
financial burden to the public is not increasing.
Phase IV contains an additional office high-rise, generating significantly less revenue than retail,
restaurants and residential, which is the reason for the ratio of change in private dollars to public dollars
as the previous investment in other phases of Town Center was higher. There would be a much higher
private — to — public ratio if the residential and restaurant component "is all there is" in Town Center.
When the office towers are introduced, significantly less revenue is generated than the residential.
Therefore, it is important to add office space, so the Town Center serves as the economic engine for job
creation in that portion of the City. The office tower has a much higher parking requirement, which is the
public investment portion of the project. The overall ratio in the Town Center is still quite favorable.
The Developers are providing their own financing. The City, through the Development Authority, is
financing only the public parking, the building platform, the Conference Center expansion and the
streetscapes, those public components of the project. Financing is not provided to the Developer. The
Developer has to provide construction funding.
If the public-private partnership were not in place, development would not occur. There would be no
revenue generated to place in Schools, City services and capital projects.
Space is not available to rent and will not be available for nearly three (3) years. The editorial coupled
the $81 -MILLION budget shortfall with Phase IV in a very inappropriate way. Phase IV will assist in
providing additional revenues. The City is not expending funds that are not available. Phase IV will
provide the revenue required to retire the public debt, economic opportunity and shift the property tax
burden off residential home owners to commercial property. Projects like Town Center are needed.
Councilman DeSteph disagreed Phase I, the office Tower was a much higher ratio. The City is also
guaranteeing two (2) floors of the new office building in a ten-year lease. The City Council was briefed
relative the deficit during the Five Year Forecast.
The City Manager advised there is no relationship between the deficit and the Phase IV project.
Council Lady Henley requested an accounting of all of the City's TIFs (Tax Increment Financing) be
provided. Clearly, economic development is important for the City. The citizens need to be advised.
Councilman Villanueva requested the City Manager place, as one of the City's Hot Topics on the
website, the methodology of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to educate our citizens concerning the
workings and benefits.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant requests the closure of the western 7.5 feet of a
15 -foot wide unimproved alley for the purpose of incorporating the right-of-way into their adjoining single-
family residential lot. There have been several street closure requests granted along the subject alleyway
during the past 15 years. The zoning history map toward the end of this report identifies the specific
properties that were granted street closures for the alley.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND This site does not have any known significant historical, cultural, or
CULTURAL FEATURES: environmental features.
AICUZ:
The site is in an AICUZ of 65-70 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
PUBLIC WORKS: A plat providing a private drainage easement shall be reviewed and approved by the City of
Virginia Beach Public Works Department during detailed site plan review.
WATER & SEWER: No objection.
PRIVATE UTILITIES: Private utility companies indicate they have no facilities in the area designated for
closure.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as Primary Residential. The City's
Comprehensive Plan states that the objective of the Primary Residential Area is to protect the
predominantly suburban character that is defined, in large measure, by the stable neighborhoods of the
Primary Residential Area.
Evaluation:
The portion of the alley proposed for closure is part of an undeveloped alley that runs north to south along
the entire block. Other street closure requests similar to this request have been granted to homeowners
within the same block. The Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not result in a public
inconvenience; therefore, they recommend closure of the right-of-way. City Council 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.
