City stll;ff was already exploring options.f(Jr Re(l({j! to Learn and Healthy Families
To capitalize on opportunities and maximize resources, we are creating a new City
entity that will enable us to bring together myriad organization!i, government, non-
profit and community agencies serving pre-natal to live year olds
The vision of this new group, called Virginia Beach GrowSmart, is:
"All children in the City of Virginia Beach will be born healthy, continue to thrive and
enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and in life. "

Low crime, strong schools, green spaces and fun activities are key ingredients for a
happy childhood
By Luke Mullins, August 19, 2009
Virginia Beach is # 1
Jenefer advised re the concept of inviting H (eight) more childc:are centers to participate in QRIS
(Quality Rating and Improvement System) and provide supportfor improvements. The Committee is still
in the process of selecting these eight (8) childcare centers and is utilizing the Smart Beginnings
Regional process. The pilot program is reviewing locally owned childcare facilities (not corporations)
and will assist with the quality aspect and business practices. Many of the applications have been
received, but selection fiJr these eight (X) programs have not been made. In/emts and toddlers are a
concern in the area and the Committee is hoping that out of the eight (H) centers, a minimum of two (2) of
them will provide care for infants and toddlers.
This is afive-year grant opportuni(V. Just because a center might not be selectedfor this first year, it does
not mean the Commiltee would not continue this process.

Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297
Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles,
TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he
does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne
Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and
spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a "personal
interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
March 24, 2009. is hereby made a part of the record.

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
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during his review. he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
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.

Chief Bruce W. Edwards
Virginia Beach Department of EMS
477 Viking Drive, Suite 130
Virginia Beach, VA 23452
Dear Chief Edwards,
I'm writing on behalf of the Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad to request a No-Interest Loan from the
City of Virginia Beach. The loan will be used for the purchase ofa fifth (additional) ambulance for our
squad. Currently, we have four ambulances but our call volume of approximately 8500 calls per year really
justifies the additional unit. As you know, we maintain ambulances at Station 9 and 19 and it is quite
common that both stations are manned. Between required maintenance and unscheduled breakdown we
find it increasingly difficult to maintain operational readiness with just four units. Our squad intends to
decommission Squad 9 when the fifth ambulance is put in service, and hope that this will minimize impact
on your budget and ease concern over the additional unit. We feel the fifth ambulance will be far more
beneficial to both our squad and the city than Squad 9 which is rarely manned and whose mission has
largely been replaced by the Fire Department Squads. We are currently seeking bids for the new
ambulance, and hope to have the new unit in service by the end of this year or very early next year.
We requ.est a loan for Sixty-One Thousand dollars, which we would like to repay in five annual
installments. The requested amount is based on the following:
Estimated price of new ambulance
Equipment & supplies for new unit
Total cost
State RSAF Grant
Squad contribution to down payment, equipment &
supplies
Balance
Approximately
$120,000.00
$10,000.00
$130,000.00
$56,877.00
$12,000.00
Approximately
$61,123.00
On July 1,2009 we were awarded a State RSAF Grant of$56,877.00 to apply to the purchase of the
additional ambulance.
Currently, Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad has two loans with the city:
. Loan # 1 has an annual payment of $1 0,260.00 due February 1st. The last payment will be in
February 2010.
. Loan # 2 has an annual payment of$ I 5,400.00 due June Is1 each year through 2013 with 4
payments remaining.
If you need any further information please let me know. Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is hereby entered into as of this 1st day of July,
2009 (the "Effective Date"), by and between JONES REAL EST ATE INVESTMENT
COMPANY, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (a.k.a. Jones Real Estate Investment
Company, L.L.c.) ("Owner") (index as a "Grantor"), THE REBKEE COMPANY, a Virginia
corporation ("Applicant Developer") (index as a "Grantor"), and the CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Grantee").
WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of record, and Applicant Developer is the proposed
developer and the applicant for the rezoning, of certain parcels of property located in the Princess
Anne district of the City of Virginia Beach, more particularly described as follows:
See Exhibit "A"
Said parcels hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property"; and
WHEREAS, the Property is presently zoned R-20 and 0-1 and is subject to the terms of
the zoning ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and Applicant Developer (hereinafter sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Grantors") have initiated a conditional amendment to the zoning map of the
City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee so as to change the Zoning
Classification of the Property from R-20 and 0-1 to conditional B-2 with the covenants,
restrictions and conditions of this Agreement; and
Page 1 of 10
PARCEL 1 GPIN: 2414-06-7715
PARCEL 2 GPIN: 2414-06-7684
i I II Ii
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantors acknowledge that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the 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 generally not applicable to land similarly zoned B-2 are needed to cope with the situation to
which the Grantors' rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Owner has voluntarily proffered, and the Applicant Developer has
agreed to, in writing, in advance of and prior to the public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of
the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the
existing B-2 zoning district 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 Zoning Map relative and applicable to the
Property, all of which have a reasonable relation to the rezoning and the need for which is
generated by the rezoning.
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Owner, and agreed to by the
Applicant Developer, 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
Page 2 of 10

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 (the "Clerk's Office") and executed by the record owner of the subject Property
at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further that said instrument is consented
to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of 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 Grantors, their successors, personal representatives, assigns,
grantees, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or
exaction from the Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion or quid
pro quo for zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit, or subdivision approval, hereby make the
following declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation, and use of the Property and hereby covenant and agree that this
declaration shall constitute covenants running with the Property, which shall be binding upon the

permits or site development plans shall include the information
specified in subdivisions (A). (8) and (C).
(c) Lot area, setback, heiqht, etc. requirements. Wind enemy conversion
systems shall be subiect to the followinq requirements:
(1) Lot area. Minimum lot area requirements for wind enerqy conversion
systems shall be as follows:
(A) For freestandinq wind enemy conversion systems outside of
Residential Districts, forty thousand (40,000) square feet plus
an additional twenty thousand (20,000) square feet for each
such system in excess of one (1);
(8) For roof-mounted wind enerqy conversion systems, the
minimum lot area specified in the district requlations: and
(C) For wind enerqy conversion systems allowed as a conditional
use, the City Council may approve an application in which the
subiect property fails to meet the specified minimum lot area
requirements upon a findinq that the proposed system is of
such size or in such location, or that the conditions attached to
the conditional use permit are sufficiently restrictive, that the
deficiency in lot area will not result in any adverse effects
upon surroundinq properties. The Planninq Director shall
include in his report to the Planninq Commission the specific
factors, if any, that would support the Qrantinq of a conditional
use permit on lots that fail to meet the minimum lot area
requirements of this section.
