The City appealed that decision to the United States Supreme Court. In May 2009, while the appeal was pending, City Council adopted a new set of Code provisions that regulate noise in a way that is consistent with the Virginia Supreme Court's decision. Recently, the United States Supreme Court issued an order in which it declined to hear the City's appeal of the Virginia Supreme Court case. ^ Considerations: This ordinance repeals City Code § 23-47 but leaves in place the replacement noise regulations that were enacted by City Council in May 2009. Those provisions are codified as City Code §§ 26-63 to 23-73. ^ Public Information: This item will be advertised in the same manner as other agenda items. ^ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting DepartmentlAgency: City Attorney M,~ City Manager: ~~:~+~~ A , ~~„~,~,~,~ -P~+.. 1 AN ORDINANCE TO REPEAL SECTION 23- 2 47 OF THE CITY CODE PERTAINING TO 3 NOISE 4 5 SECTION REPEALED: § 23-47 6 7 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 8 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 9 10 That Section 23-47 of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is hereby 11 repealed: 12 13 14 15 16 , 17 ,• 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 , 28 , 29 30 31 32 , 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 , 42 , 43 • 44 45 Adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on this day of , 2010.

The bond sale is composed of portions of the 2008 and 2009 Charter Bond Authorizations previously approved by Council on May 13, 2008 and May 12, 2009 respectively. The bond proceeds from the proposed sale will reimburse previous expenditures for those authorized projects. Based on current market conditions, the City's Financial Advisor, Government Finance Associates ("GFA"), has recommended that this sale take place on April 6, 2010. It is also GFA's recommendation that the City give its bidders the option of bidding, on amaturity-by-maturity basis, either a tax-exempt rate or a taxable rate under the Build America Bond (BAB) program. This recommendation is based on improvements in the BAB market and the fact that the Parity system, the electronic system used by the City to accept bids, can now accept BAB bids. ^ Considerations: The new money sale represents the City's annual general obligation bond sale. The City's Bond Counsel, Troutman Sanders, has prepared the enclosed resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the bonds. The bonds will be sold electronically by competitive bid with the actions of the City Manager being conclusive provided however, that the bonds shall have a true interest cost not to exceed 4.5%. The proposed bond structure for the new money takes into consideration the proposed FY-11 debt service budget. ^ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. The original Charter Bond Authorizations were part of the public information process of the City's Resource Management Plan (Budget/CIP). In addition, the Resolution authorizes the distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement for marketing purposes. Also, a Notice of Sale will be placed in The Bond Buyer, a daily newspaper for the tax-exempt bond market. ^ Alternatives: There are no practical alternative funding sources at this time. This request follows previously approved CIPs. ^ Recommendations: Approval of the enclosed resolution providing for the issuance and sale of bonds in the maximum amount of $60 million. ^ Attachment: Resolution Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Depa ent/Agency: Finance ~ ' ~_., City Manager: ~ ~ ' Q' ~~~ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF A SERIES OF GENERAL OBLIGATION PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT .BONDS, SERIES 2010A, HERETOFORE AUTHORIZED, IN THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $60,000,000 AND PROVIDING FOR THE FORM, DETAILS AND PAYMENT THEREOF The issuance of $68,700,000 of bonds of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City") was authorized by an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City Council") on May 13, 2008, without being submitted to the qualified voters of the City, to finance various public improvements, including schools, roadways, coastal projects, economic and tourism projects, building and parks and recreation projects, $13,143,112 of which have been issued and sold.

It has been recommended to the City Council by representatives of Government Finance Associates, Inc. (the "Financial Advisor") that the City issue and sell a series of general obligation public improvement bonds in the maximum principal amount of $60,000,000.

In the event that (a) the Securities Depository determines not to continue to act as the securities depository for the Bonds by giving notice to the Registrar, and the City discharges its responsibilities hereunder, or (b) the City, in its sole discretion, determines (i) that beneficial owners of Bonds shall be able to obtain certificated Bonds or (ii) to select a new Securities Depository, then the City's Director of Finance shall, at the direction of the City, attempt to locate another qualified securities depository to serve as Securities Depository and authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the new Securities Depository or its nominee, or authenticate and deliver certificated Bonds to the beneficial owners or to the Securities Depository participants on behalf of beneficial owners substantially in the form provided for in Section 5; provided, that such form shall provide for interest on the Bonds to be payable (A) from the date of the Bonds if they are authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, or (B) from the interest payment date that is or immediately precedes the date on which the Bonds are authenticated (unless payment of interest thereon is in default, in which case interest on such Bonds shall be payable from the date to which interest has been paid). In delivering certificated Bonds, the City's Director of Finance shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Securities Depository as to the beneficial owners or the records of the Securities Depository participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Such certificated Bonds will then be registrable, transferable and exchangeable as set forth in Section 7. -2- So long as there is a Securities Depository for the Bonds, (1) it or its nominee shall be the registered owner of the Bonds, (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Resolution, determinations of persons entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, transfers of ownership and exchanges, and receipt of notices shall be the responsibility of the Securities Depository and shall be effected pursuant to rules and procedures established by such Securities Depository, (3) the Registrar and the City shall not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its participants or persons acting through such participants, (4) references in this Resolution to registered owners of the Bonds shall mean such Securities Depository or its nominee and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the Bonds, and (5) in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Resolution and the provisions of the above-referenced Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, such provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, except to the extent set forth in this paragraph and the next preceding paragraph, shall control. 3. Redemption Provisions. (a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City Manager, in whole or in part, at any time on and after dates, if any, determined by the City Manager, with the first such optional redemption date beginning no later than March 15, 2020 as set forth in Section 2 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium not to exceed 2% of the principal amount to be redeemed, such redemption premium to be determined by the City Manager. (b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. Any term bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption upon terms determined by the City Manager. If so determined by the City Manager, the Bonds may provide that the City may take a credit against the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation of any maturity of term Bonds in the amount of Bonds of the same maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation and have not been applied previously as such a credit. If the City wishes to take such a credit, on or before the 70th day next preceding any such mandatory sinking fund redemption date, the City's Director of Finance may instruct the Registrar to apply a credit against the City's mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for any Bonds of the applicable maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation by the City and have not been previously applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for that maturity of the Bonds. Each Bond so previously optionally redeemed or surrendered shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal amount of such maturity of the Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund redemption date or dates for such maturity as may be selected by the Director of Finance. (c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Bonds within such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Securities Depository pursuant to its rules and -3- procedures or, if the book-entry system is discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, (a) the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or some integral multiple thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. (d) Redemption Notices. The City shall cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of the Bonds.

The City shall pay any such required rebate from its legally available funds. 14. Non-Arbitrage Certificate and Elections. Such officers of the City as may be requested are authorized and directed to execute an appropriate certificate setting forth the reasonably expected use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds in order to show that such reasonably expected use and investment will not violate the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and any elections such officers deem desirable regarding rebate of earnings to the United States, for purposes of complying with Section 148 of the Code.

Investment Authorization.

Beach Development Authority (VBDA). On four occasions - 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007 -the Development Authority has issued bonds for such projects as the Convention Center, Town Center Garages, Museum Parking, etc. Due to the current low interest rate environment, it is now possible to refund a portion of the 2002A, 2003A, 2005A and 2007A bonds in an amount of up to $85 million to achieve significant debt service savings. The exact amount and issues to be refunded will be determined at a time closer to the sale date. In addition to the refunding, City Council requests that the VBDA issue "new-money" PFRBs to fund certain economic development projects and equipment leases in the amount not to exceed $17 million. It is possible to achieve interest rate savings by financing these projects together as one financing. ^ Considerations: As with the previous series, the 2010 series will be issued under the Master Agreement of Trust with a Fourth Supplemental Agreement. Under the plan of financing, a Third Supplemental Support Agreement between VBDA and the City will outline the City's annual payments to VBDA in amounts sufficient to pay the debt service on the bonds. The "new-money" PFRB bonds will be sold, electronically, by competitive bid on April 6, 2010, and the PFRB refunding bonds will be sold in the same manner on April 7, 2010 on such terms as shall be satisfactory to the City Manager, provided that the bonds shall have a true interest cost not to exceed 5.0%. The actions of the City Manager shall be conclusive and no further action shall be necessary on the part of City Council. The final terms of the bond sale will be provided to City Council. VBDA will review this issue for approval at its meeting on March 16. ^ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. Additionally, the Resolution authorizes a distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement for marketing purposes, and a Notice of Sale will be placed in The Bond Buyer. ^ Alternatives: There are no alternative funding sources at this time.

B-7 r4 '"- ~ ~~y~7 ~U_ ,~ ~'"`si . ~ ~ ,'LV:~` CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to amend ORD-3053A, which authorized the execution of an Exchange Agreement with the United States of America, to include a restrictive covenant in the Navy's Quitclaim Deed conveying Marshview. MEETING DATE: March 9, 2010 ^ Background: On September 23, 2008, the City adopted ORD-3053A (the "Exchange Ordinance") authorizing the conveyance to the City, in fee simple, surplus property the Navy owns in Virginia Beach, comprising 99 acres, more or less, and generally known as "Marshviev~' (the "Marshview Property"), subject to certain use restrictions limiting the property to park use, in exchange for a restrictive easement on property the City owns in the Interfacility Traffic Area. The Exchange Ordinance authorized the execution of an Exchange Agreement with the Navy pursuant to a summary of terms (the "Summary of Terms") attached to the Exchange Ordinance. The Summary of Terms provided that the Navy would convey the Marshview Property to the City by a quitclaim deed that contains restrictions limiting the use of the property to a public park and prohibiting certain activities or structures that would interfere with the Navy's operations at Naval Air Station Oceana. After the adoption of the Exchange Ordinance, the Navy informed the City that it will require another restrictive covenant to be included in the Navy's quitclaim deed, which covenant would pass along to the City responsibility for complying with federal requirements for archaeological surveys. The restrictive covenant (the "Survey Covenant") would require, among other things, the City to seek prior approval from the State Department of Historic Resources, which serves as the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO"), before commencing any land-disturbing activity requiring digging more than 6-inches deep, and to comply with recommendations by SHPO that an archaeological survey be conducted in order to preserve any as yet undiscovered, significant archaeological sites. The Survey Covenant would be a permanent restriction on the Marshview Property.

The concept for Grommet Park was developed by Virginia Beach businessman Bruce Thompson in response to the need for afully-accessible playground for persons with disabilities in an area that is especially challenging for persons with disabilities to access -the beach. City Council was briefed on Grommet Park on August 25, 2009. Grommet Park will be approximately 15,000 square feet in size, with a concrete slab base and a soft, poured-in-place finished surface with a perimeter boardwalk and walkways extending into the beach, covered by a synthetic shade canopy. The location for Grommet Park was selected through a joint recommendation by Councilman John Uhrin and Mr. Thompson. Grommet Park is estimated to cost in excess of one million dollars to construct. The construction costs for Grommet Park will be paid for by VGF. The City will have no responsibility for any construction-related costs for Grommet Park. VGF has also offered to donate to the City a sculpture known as the Anticipation Statue. The sculpture is approximately ten (10) feet in height, eleven (11) feet wide, eight (13) feet deep, and weighs approximately fourteen thousand (14,000) pounds. It is cast in bronze, and is valued at thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) by VGF. VGF has agreed to pay for installation. ^ Considerations: The City and VGF negotiated an agreement to construct Grommet Park on City property, and to dedicate Grommet Park to the City by July 1, 2010. The City has no responsibility for any construction-related costs for Grommet Park. The agreement contains no provision for maintenance of Grommet Park. The Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking funding for maintenance through the City's budget process. The following City Council-appointed commissions and committees have endorsed Grommet Park: Mayor's Committee for Persons with Disabilities, Resort Advisory Commission, and the Arts and Humanities Commission's Public Art Committee at public meetings. Per Administrative Directive 6.06, the Public Art Committee of the Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission reviewed the sculpture donation proposal. After review and discussion with City staff, the Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission recommended that the City of Virginia Beach accept the sculpture. The sculpture will be installed on the boardwalk near the 1 Sc Street landing area adjacent to the Rudee Inlet jetty. ^ Public Information: Public Information will be provided through the normal process of advertising the Council's agenda. ^ Attachments: Ordinance, Summary of Terms, Rendering of Anticipation Statute, Letter of Endorsement from Arts and Humanities Commission for Anticipation Statute.

The Bayfront Advisory Committee was established by City Council appointment November 28, 2006, to serve as the liaison between the Shore Drive Community and the governing body with specific duties and responsibilities. The Coalition was formed more than a decade ago and represents approximately thirty [30] Civic Leagues and Community Associations along the eleven mile Shore Drive Corridor of Virginia Beach. The Committee and this widely based Coalition continue to seek solutions for area improvements through the mutual collaboration with the City of Virginia Beach. One continuing principle objective has been to improve the safety along the Shore Drive Corridor for the community and its residents. By drawing upon the diversified backgrounds and talents of its engaged civic-minded residents, many issues have been effectively resolved directly improving the quality of life and safety for our residents and visitors throughout the City. With approximately twenty-five [25] percent of the City's population, Shore Drive supports over 20,000 average daily trips by car, and is used extensively by pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to and from beach and numerous park areas along the Chesapeake Bay. As one of the most heavily traveled routes in the City, Shore Drive has also been the site of numerous accidents, incurring a tragically high number of motor vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian fatalities over the past twenty [20] years. During 2009, the Advisory Committee and SDCC heavily promoted improved traffic safety measures for all users of Shore Drive through a number of key initiatives. These include: • The Shore Drive Safety Initiative 2009 (,SDSI `09) assessed and informed the citizens and businesses along Shore Drive on current traffic safety concerns, forged a community consensus for viable near and long term improvements, and continues to work with the City in the implementation of these improvements. Among their accomplishments: o Organized into three subcommittees; traffic, pedestrian and cyclist o Historic problem areas were identified, analyzed and then solutions were sought through a number of meetings between the SDSI Committee, traffic engineering, police and other City officials o Identified bike and pedestrian safety deficiencies along a curved one mile section of Shore Drive. Shoulder improvements are now underway as an interim measure and median improvements are being examined. o Collected historical data for a specific road where a high frequency of accidents had occurred for vehicles exiting the neighborhood onto Shore Drive. Made an excellent technical case for how lowering the speed limit to 35 mph would help reduce these accidents as well as create a better safety margin for residents crossing to and from nearby beach areas o Using a variety of communication methods, kept 13,000 residents informed on traffic safety concerns, the options available to remedy and forged a community consensus in support of a lower speed limit. An SDCC sponsored survey of over 700 residents in August showed an impressive 85% agreement with the proposed measures including the lowered speed limit • The Bayfront Advisory Committee and the Shore Drive Community Coalition encourage and inspire community based solutions. A member of the SDCC Board helped found an idea entitled `Share Shore Drive Day". The principal goal is to raise public awareness for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians using Shore Drive to share it safely • Established and continues to maintain a Public Forum where residents can receive up-to-date information on roadway construction plans, significant crashes, long term trends and efforts to bring about safer traffic conditions as well as share concerns and disagreements The Bayfront Advisory Committee has worked diligently with the Shore Drive Community Coalition to provide an overview of the community group along with copies of newspaper and newsletter articles. SDCC has led initiatives that are reiterated in these subsequent pages. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, William D.

By David Williams, Cape Henry Shores Civic Association Project Officer for SDSI '09 Monday, July 14 marked a subtle but what I think a significant date in the Virginia Beach civic calendar as 15 members of the Shore Drive Safety Initiative 2009 (SDSI'09) held their second meeting in two weeks to further develop a Plan of Action (POA) for their efforts to improve the safety along Shore Drive. I say this day is historic in that there was a subtle but perceptible shift in the atmosphere from the previous meeting on 6 July where two groups met, but both were not quite sure of the other group's motives. After more than three decades, much and varied efforts have been put into improving the safety along Shore Drive, but with limited success. Now, actual progress was being made at identifying and correcting our neighborhood's dangerous areas. While some groups see Shore Drive as a gateway to the oceanfront, other groups see this four lane road and highway as a keeper of the residential neighborhood's image. Some residents want faster commutes, while other residents want to be able to walk across Shore Drive without significantly endangering self, family and tethered canine. As a resident here, I feel that we should not be overly endangered while doing normal outdoor activities, such as walking the family to the beach. Change is difficult to achieve or accept depending on your perspective, but most agree, safety improvements are particularly needed along this section of Shore Drive. Monday's meeting brought representatives from the City and the combined interested citizen groups (Cape Henry Shores, Cape Story by the Sea, Shore Drive Community Coalition, Tidewater Bicycle Association, and Bayfront Advisory Committee together again to consider safety improvements. The Director of Public Works, Mr. Jason Cosby and Mr. Mike Shahsiah , Senior Traffic Engineer discussed possible solutions that could be implemented quickly and possible solutions that would take more study, time and funding approval. But, the key point made here by Mr. Shahsiah, was that safety improvements were doable. After listening to the residents along Shore Drive and understanding our concems, at least now the city was responding with the prospects of "doable", and not with the flat rejections as previous requests had met. We still do not have our speed limit reduction to 35 MPH from N. Great Neck Road to the entrance at First Landing State Park, but I think both the city and the residents have shared a better understanding of both the residents' safety concerns and the city's ability to implement those safety improvements. This safety effort started with some local residents, gained area support and traveled up through the offices of Vice Mayor Jones, Councilman Wood, and Councilman DeSteph who have collectively brought it into the light of city government and into the view of Mayor Sessoms. It is just such a great feeling to know that local government still works and responds with some efforts and some organization. We, the people, will get there safely. The Virginian-Pilot © July 22, 2009 VIRGINIA BEACH Motorists traveling on Shore Drive between North Great Neck Road and the entrance to First Landing State Park will have to slow down in August when the speed limit drops from 45 mph to 35 mph. The change will take place Aug. 3, but signs alerting motorists to the change will be in place beginning Wednesday, according to a news release from the city of Virginia Beach. ~I~ . ..~ ~3~ _.~°- ~~'~~: ~~~ ~~~; ...... ._ b.. __. _ , -.~., .._, ~~'iat3re 2_ _~e ~'st~ ~~.kes ~ctica F~~ure f SDSI members end city af~cia[s €~erforr~n a s~~fet1~ assessment can Staore ~ r~.: 6~ery ~~Jt}=s) Share Shore Drive Day ay Kann; ,aa~~s The Virginian-Pilot © July 12, 2009 A group of about 200 bicyclists rallied Saturday to promote making Shore Drive safer. They biked a 6-mile and 16-mile route, ending with a cookout at Kokoamos Island Bar, Grill & Yacht Club on Marina Shores Drive. The goal was to promote adding bike lanes to Shore Drive and reducing the speed limit to 35 mph, organizer Bill Hart said. "We just feel Shore Drive is very, very unsafe for everybody except drivers," he said. "People are not only getting killed, but they're getting injured, disabled, and we need to do something about it " Since May 2008, two cyclists have died in Vrginia Beach after collisions with vehicles. One was on Shore Drive, and one was on Witchdudc Road. Through mid-April, there were 16 crashes this year involving bicycles and motor vehicles, according to the Police Department. Kokoamos approached the event's organizers and offered to host apost-ride barbecue, Hart said. It provided hot dogs, hamburgers, juice and sodas, manager Aimee Wetzel said. "We do multiple facets of charity and are heavily into giving back to the community," she said. "Our main focus today was to make sure that everyone is safe down here on this corridor." If the Shore Drive area was safer for pedestrians and cyclists, more people could walk and bike to bars, stores and restaurants, Wetzel said. The League of American Bicyclists does not consider Virginia Beach a Bicycle Friendly Community, according to its Web site. The designation goes to communities that meet certain criteria, such as having bike lanes and enforcing bike-safety laws. In Vrginia, only Alexandria, Arlington and Charlottesville are considered Bicycle Friendly Communities, according to the Web site. Virginia Beach would benefit from being added to the list, Hart said. "I think they're hurting themselves in the long run," he said. "People are going green, and they're going to travel places where they can ride their bikes, and Virginia Beach has a reputation where you don't." ~CS u#inn WHEREAS: Tommy Joe Taylo- gave mans thou fifty years oJhis IIJe saving in the Baptist ministry, thirty of which were as the Senlo- Pastor of London Bridge Boptlst Church where he retired lonuory Tenth, Two Thousand Ten; WHEREAS: Tommy !oe Taylor was born in the cool mining Town of Norton, Vlrglnk, with humbk beg/nningt !n the /otter years of the Deprcssksn of the ThiKie; he spent lots of Hme skdding the winding roods of High Knob MountoM and first attended church at the age oJTen only because The Baptist Church hod a gym; WHEREAS: from the early age oJTen urrtll he was Twenty, Tommy !coined many a life's lesson through dolly delivery of the local newspaper to more thou one hundred customers in thh mountain town.

Subsequently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) announced that they would offer reimbursement aid to the City for damages and cleanup associated with the storm. For eligible expenses, FEMA will reimburse the City 75%, VDEM will provide reimbursement of 18%, and the City's portion of the cost is the remaining 7%. ^ Considerations: For an estimated total damage-related cost of $2,500,000, FEMA and VDEM together are expected to reimburse the City about $2.3 million for eligible damages and cleanup, with the City incurring about $175,000. The City's portion will be provided by a transfer from the General Fund Regular Reserve for Contingencies. After this transfer the balance in the Reserve for Contingencies will be $1,201,924. ^ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ^ Alternatives: Since the damages incurred by Tropical Storm Ida needed to be repaired, there are no viable alternatives to seeking FEMA and VDEM reimbursement, unless the City bears the entire $2,500,000 expense associated with the recovery. ^ Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council appropriate $1,875,000 in estimated revenue from FEMA and $450,000 in estimated revenue from VDEM to the FY 2009-10 Operating Budget, and to transfer $140,000 within the FY 2009-10 Operating Budget to pay for eligible damages and cleanup from Tropical Storm Ida. ^ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Finance/Risk Management ~ City Manager: ~ ~ ~~- ~~/ 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE FEDERAL AND 2 STATE FUNDS AND TO TRANSFER CITY FUNDS 3 FOR RECOVERY EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH 4 TROPICAL STORM IDA 5 6 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, 7 VIRGINIA: 8 9 1.

LYNNHAVEN DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: March 9, 2010 ^ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of a wind energy conversion system (WECS) on the roof of the building located on the subject site. Due to the height of the proposed turbine above the level of the roof, a Conditional Use Permit is necessary. ^ Considerations: The applicant proposes to install a white aluminum alloy roof-mounted wind turbine on the northwest corner of the roof of the Cape Henry Plaza Shopping Center located along Shore Drive (above the Hot Tuna restaurant). The City Zoning Ordinance limits the height of roof-mounted wind energy conversion systems to eight feet, unless otherwise allowed by a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed vertical wind turbine, constructed of aluminum alloy, is proposed with a 16 foot high by 4 feet in diameter rotor on a monopole support with a total height of 19.8 feet. The vertical system is designed to catch wind from all directions - turbulent and gusting winds as well as winds as low as 10 miles per hour - to create electricity to power the complex's common area (parking lot lights). If the wind is not blowing, then the property is powered by the traditional energy grid as usual. According to the manufacturer, the design gives almost silent operation at less than five decibels above background noise and is safe for birds and bats. The 1,400 pound system has a purported design life of 30 years. No additional structures are proposed, as any equipment associated with the wind turbine will be housed inside the existing building. Staff concludes that the proposed wind energy conversion system meets the intent and requirements of Section 209 of the Zoning Ordinance, which regulate these systems, and, therefore, Staff recommends approval of this request with the following conditions. There was no opposition to the request. Cape Henry Station, LLC Page2of4 ^ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. If the wind energy conversion system ceases to be operational for a period of one year, the system shall be removed at the applicant's expense. 2. The wind energy conversion system, including all associated equipment, shall be inspected by a wind energy system contractor two years from approval by City Council and then every two years subsequent, to ensure compliance with Section 209 of the Zoning Ordinance and with conditions set forth in the Conditional Use Permit. The findings of each inspection shall be submitted in writing to the City of Virginia Beach Planning Director. 3. All electrical connections from the wind turbine to the building shall be screened so as to be hidden from view. 4. No signage related to the wind energy conversion system shall be permitted other than safety and warning signage. 5. Noise associated with the wind energy conversion system shall not exceed a decibel level of 55dB (A) as measured at any adjoining property line. 6.

Smith REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit (wind energy conversion system) ADDRESS /DESCRIPTION: 2817-2820 Shore Drive GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: AICUZ: 15904016980000 LYNNHAVEN 225,632 square feet Less than 65 d6 DNL The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a SUMMARY OF REQUEST wind energy conversion system (WECS). The applicant proposes to install a white aluminum alloy, 19.8 foot tall, roof-mounted wind turbine on the northwest corner of the roof of the Cape Henry Plaza Shopping Center located along Shore Drive. A Conditional Use Permit is required for roof-mounted systems that are more than eight feet above the roof. Ordinance Regulations Proposal's Compliance with Regulation Professional Engineer A professional engineer licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia must Certifications certify that the tower, blades, etc. meet the requirements of the Building Code and the Federal Aviation Administration, and that the structure upon which the system is to be mounted has the structural integrity to carry the weight and wind loads of the system and will have minimal impacts. The applicant has submitted these certifications and has met these re uirements. Lot Area Roof-mounted WECS shall have a minimum lot area as specified in the district regulations. In the Business District, the minimum lot area is 20,000 s uare feet. The a licant has met this re uirement, as the lot is over CAPE HENRY STATION Agenda Item 3 Page 1 225,000 s uare feet. Setback Nos ecific setbacks are re wired for aroof-mounted WECS. Height The height of aroof-mounted WECS is limited to eight feet unless a Conditional Use Permit authorizes otherwise. As the proposed WECS is almost 20 feet, a condition has been recommended to limit the maximum hei ht of the entire s stem to no hi her than 22 feet above the roof line. Noise The highest level of noise generated by the system, as measured at any adjoining property line, cannot exceed an A-weighted decibel level of 55 d6(A). According the manufacturer's specifications, the design gives almost silent operation at less than five decibels above background noise. The a licant has met this re uirement. Illumination No portion of a WECS can be illuminated unless required by the Federal Aviation Administration. The applicant has met this requirement, as there will be no illumination of this s stem. Siting A WECS must be situated on a site in a manner that minimizes shadowing and flickering effects on any adjacent property. In this case, the height and location of the turbine will result in minimal shadowing and flickering on adjacent ro ert . The a licant has met this re uirement. Electrical Connections All electrical controls, control wiring, and power lines must be located under round or otherwise hidden. The a licant has met this re uirement. Braking Any WECS must be equipped with a redundant braking system that engages at wind speeds that the manufacturer specifies to minimize the potential for wind damage to the system and its supporting structure. According to the manufacturer, the design of this vertical system eliminates the need for this type of braking system as it can withstand 130 miles per hour wind. The manufacturer does recommend that for winds above 100 miles per hour, the unit be hinged down parallel to the roof. At 100 plus miles per hour, there is no power generated. The unit does have manual breaking capabilities that will stop the turbine for maintenance purposes and the manufacturer has offered to add this manual brake to meet this re uirement.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES There are no expected impacts to City services based on this application. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Evaluation: The City Zoning Ordinance limits the height of roof-mounted wind energy conversion systems to eight feet, unless otherwise allowed by a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed, almost 20 foot tall, vertical wind turbine, constructed of aluminum alloy, is proposed with a 16 foot high by 4 feet in diameter rotor on a monopole support with a total height of 19.8 feet. The vertical system is designed to catch wind from all directions -turbulent and gusting winds as well as winds as low as 10 miles per hour - to create electricity to power the complex's common area (parking lot lights). If the wind is not blowing, then the property is powered by the traditional energy grid as usual. According to the manufacturer, the design gives almost silent operation at less than five decibels above background noise and is safe for birds and bats. The 1,400 pound system has a purported design life of 30 years. No additional structures are proposed, as any equipment associated with the wind turbine will be housed inside the existing building. The Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the need to develop new sources of energy, particularly those that are renewable. The Plan promotes energy conservation, provided safety, visual and environmental impacts are consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, and it recognizes the City's unique location to easily capture a readily available, renewable source of energy such as wind. Section 209 of the City Zoning Ordinance requires a certification from a professional engineer licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia that the system complies with all applicable regulations and requirements of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and the Federal Aviation Administration. The Zoning Ordinance requires an additional certification that the structure upon which the wind energy conversion system is to be mounted will have the structural integrity to carry the weight and wind loads of the system and will have minimal impacts on the structure. All of these certifications have been submitted with the application and have been found to be in compliance with the requirements. The proposal also meets the ordinance's requirements related to: setbacks, lot area, height, signage, noise, illumination, siting, and appearance. The ordinance requires that all systems be equipped with a redundant braking system that engages at high wind speeds so as to minimize the potential for wind damage to the system or its supporting structure. According to the manufacturer, the design of this vertical system eliminates the need for this type of braking system, as it can withstand winds up to 130 miles per hour. However, in order to meet the City's requirements, the manufacturer will add a manual brake to meet this requirement. The system will be mounted on a hinged pole, which will allow it to be taken down and strapped to the roof in the event of a significant storm. When wind speed exceeds 100 plus miles per hour, there is no power generation. In addition, the unit comes with a Wind Monitoring System, which allows the applicant to predict exactly when the unit should be taken down and secured. The system transmits data to the manufacturer, Helix CAPE HENRY STATION Agenda Item 3 Page 3 Wind, and is available to applicant at anytime. Staff concludes that the proposed wind energy conversion system meets the intent and requirements of Section 209 of the Zoning Ordinance, and, therefore, Staff recommends approval of this request with the following conditions. CONDITIONS 1. If the wind energy conversion system ceases to be operational for a period of one year, the system shall be removed at the applicant's expense. 2. The wind energy conversion system, including all associated equipment, shall be inspected by a wind energy system contractor two years from approval by City Council and then every two years subsequent, to ensure compliance with Section 209 of the Zoning Ordinance and with conditions set forth in the Conditional Use Permit. The findings of each inspection shall be submitted in writing to the City of Virginia Beach Planning Director. 3. All electrical connections from the wind turbine to the building shall be screened so as to be hidden from view. 4. No signage related to the wind energy conversion system shall be permitted other than safety and warning signage. 5. Noise associated with the wind energy conversion system shall not exceed a decibel level of 55dB (A) as measured at any adjoining property line. 6. No portion of the wind energy conversion system shall be illuminated unless required by the Federal Aviation Administration. 7. The height of the wind energy conversion system, including the pole, shall be no higher than 22 feet above the roofline. 8. The wind energy conversion system shall be equipped with a manual brake. 9. The wind energy conversion system shall be limited to the roof at the northwest corner of the building, above the existing restaurant known as "Hot Tuna" and shall be located no closer than 18 feet from the edges of the building. 10. A letter from the professional engineering company of McPherson Design Group, the firm who prepared the plans entitled, "HOT TUNA WIND TURBINE VIRGINIA BEACH, VA," sheets SK-1 through SK-7, shall be submitted to the Building Official's Office prior to the issuance of the Final Certificate, stating that all work to install the wind energy conversion system was done in accordance with said plans. 11. All other applicable requirements of the City of Virginia Beach Zoning Ordinance shall apply to the CAPE HENRY STATION Agenda Item 3 Page 4 erection of the wind energy conversion system. NOTE: Further conditions maybe required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department ofPlanning /Development Services Center and Department of Planning /Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.

Since the pier is being shared, the Zoning Ordinance classifies the pier as a community boat dock, which requires a Use Permit. This item was deferred by the City Council on February 23, 2010. ^ Considerations: The applicant proposes to construct afive-foot wide pier over 500 feet in length with a 75 foot by 5 foot (75'x5') wide floating pier and two boat lifts. The pier will be accessed directly from Lots 16A and 15A; however, approximately 500 feet of the pier traverses the southern side of Lot 14A adjacent to a flag of Lot 16A that extends to the water. According to the applicant's representative, Lot 14A will continue to utilize an existing pier located on the opposite side of that parcel. Staffs position is that in lieu of two additional piers, one each on Lot 15A and 16A, a shared pier is preferred for both visual and navigation purposes. The proposed pier will be used exclusively by the applicants, and no commercial use of the pier will be permitted. The pier will not have a sewer pump out facility nor will petroleum products be dispensed or stored on site. The applicant is currently seeking approval through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process, and no construction will be permitted until the JPA is approved. There was opposition to the request. ^ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: West Neck Properties, Inc. Page2of3 Permits shall be secured from all appropriate regulatory agencies through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process prior to any development or construction of the pier and boatlifts. 2. The boat dock revisions and extensions shall be substantially constructed as depicted on the plan entitled "PROPOSED PIER, LIFTS AND PILES, PURPOSE: BOATING ACCESS," prepared by Professional Construction Consultants, LLC, dated 10/23/09, or as modified as required by the JPA Permit. 3. No commercial use of the dock shall be permitted. 4. A plat shall be recorded, prior to issuance of site plan approval, depicting a legal means of ingress/egress for Lot 15A and 16A to gain access to the pier on Lot 14A, as shown on the plan identified in condition 2 above. 5. The setback of the pier from the property line between Lot 14A and 15A is determined to be acceptable; however, there shall be no covered boat lifts, covered docks, or other covered structures located anywhere on or adjacent to the pier. ^ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

The applicant proposes to construct afive-foot wide pier over 500 feet in length with a 75 foot by 5 foot (75'x5') wide floating pier and two boat lifts. The pier will be accessed directly from Lots 16A and 15A; however, approximately 500 feet of the pier traverses the southern side of Lot 14A adjacent to a flag of Lot 16A that extends to the water. According to the applicant's representative, Lot 14A will continue to utilize an existing pier located on the opposite side of that parcel. The applicant is also seeking a variation to the side yard requirement for the pier. This request is further discussed in the Evaluation section of this report.

All three sites have wooded, naturalized buffers along the shoreline. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES This request for a shared pier with boatlifts will have no significant impact to City services. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Evaluation: The request to construct afive-foot wide pier, over 500 feet in length, with a 75-foot by 5-foot (75'x5') wide floating pier with two boat lifts is recommended for approval. The pier is proposed with upland access from Lots 16A and 15A, each having a separate access point; however, approximately 500 feet of the shared pier traverses Lot 14 A. An existing pier, located on the northern side of Lot 14A opposite the location of the propose community pier, will remain for the exclusive use of the owner of Lot 14A. As this request for a community boat dock traverses Lot 14A, this property owner is party to the request. Staffs position is that in lieu of two additional piers, one each on Lot 15A and 16A, a shared pier is preferred for both visual and navigation purposes. The proposed pier will be used exclusively by the applicants, and no commercial use of the pier will be permitted. The pier will not have a sewer pump out facility nor will petroleum products be dispensed or stored on site. The applicant is currently seeking approval through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process, and no construction will be permitted until the JPA is approved. Also requested by the applicant is a variation to the required side yard setback for the pier. Such variations are permissible as part of a Conditional Use Permit by the provisions of Section 221(e) of the City Zoning Ordinance. That section notes that such variations may be approved, but there must be a determination that the "conditions attached to its approval satisfactorily offset the negative effects inherent WEST NECK PROPERTIES, INC. / ZIRPOLI Agenda Item 1 Page 2 in the area or dimensional deficiency." Currently, any portion of a pier over 16 inches in height and above mean low water, must meet required yard setbacks. The subject parcels are zoned R-40 Residential District, which requires a 20-foot side yard setback. In this case, Lots 15A and 16A have a very limited amount of actual water frontage, and thus, cannot meet such side yard setback requirements. A recent amendment to the Zoning Ordinance now allows piers to extend into required yards if the pier is uncovered, no more than four feet in width, and does not have any structures attached to it except for uncovered boat lifts. By not allowing covered boat lifts, covered docks, or other structures, the impact on adjacent properties is reduced. In this case, the applicant desires to maintain a pier width of five feet, and as a result, this new provision of the Zoning Ordinance cannot be used for the reduced side yard setback. Staff concludes, however, that the setback as shown on the submitted plan is acceptable, as the ten-foot wide flag of Lot 16A adjacent to the proposed pier provides a buffer between the pier and adjacent properties to the south. Additionally, staff is recommending a condition prohibiting covered boat lifts, covered docks, or other covered structures from being built on the pier as a means of further reducing potential impacts on adjacent properties. In sum, Staff finds that the construction of anon-commercial community pier for the private use of the future homeowners of Lots 15A and 16A is compatible with other neighboring properties and is recommended for approval as conditioned below. CONDITIONS 1. Permits shall be secured from all appropriate regulatory agencies through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process prior to any development or construction of the pier and boatlifts. 2. The boat dock revisions and extensions shall be substantially constructed as depicted on the plan entitled "PROPOSED PIER, LIFTS AND PILES, PURPOSE: BOATING ACCESS," prepared by Professional Construction Consultants, LLC, dated 10/23/09, or as modified as required by the JPA Permit. 3. No commercial use of the dock shall be permitted. 4. A plat shall be recorded, prior to issuance of site plan approval, depicting a legal means of ingress/egress for Lot 15A and 16A to gain access to the pier on Lot 14A, as shown on the plan identified in condition 2 above. 5. The setback of the pier from the property line between Lot 14A and 15A is determined to be acceptable; however, there shall be no covered boat lifts, covered docks, or other covered structures located anywhere on or adjacent to the pier. NOTE: Further conditions maybe required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning /Development Services Center and Department of Planning /Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.

Sarah Woodhouse: Pardon me? I'm opposed. Joseph Strange: Is there a representative on this application? Janice Anderson: The representative is going to speak first. Sarah Woodhouse: Well, okay. I thought he was calling me up? Janice Anderson: Yes, he did. Al Henley: I apologize. Joseph Strange: Is there a representative on this item? Chris Flint: Good afternoon members of the board. Chairman Strange, I'm Christ Flint, Flint Construction. I'm the contractor and the agent for Mr. Zirpoli. He is present here at the hearing. Joseph Strange: Did you want to make any statement? Christ Flint: I agree with the Planning Department's 1 through 5 suggestions for approval of the pier. Joseph Strange: Okay. Is there anyone here to speak in support of the application? Al Henley: We have three speakers in support. The first one is Vanessa Dallas in support. Joseph Strange: Please step to the podium please. Vanessa Dallas: Planning Commission, thank you for letting me speak. I would like you to ( know that I am the only. Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Paget Ed Weeden: Ma'am, state your name for the record. Vanessa Dallas: I'm sorry. Vanessa Dallas. I live at 2928 Estates Drive, and I am the only owner occupant adjacent to Mr. Zirpoli's property. Donald Horsley: Can you show us? Vanessa Dallas: Sure. Donald Horsley: There is a pointer right there. Ed Weeden: There is a pointer next to the microphone. Vanessa Dallas: I'm not familiar with all of these procedures. Is this it? All these kids would know all about this stuff. Let's see. Where am I? I am right there (pointing to PowerPoint). am Lot 12. Joseph Strange: Okay. Vanessa Dallas: I think Lot 15 & 16, are the lots in question here. It is my understanding through the Wetlands, my understanding about wetlands rule is the lot is allowed to have a pier. Well, there are two lots here that are asking for one joint pier versus two piers. I think that is a benefit to our neighborhood. Also, Mr. Flint has built every other pier in our neighborhood, and he has done a beautiful job. They have cleaned up after themselves. To my knowledge, we have not had any complaints. I haven't heard Mrs. Woodhouse's complaints but the fact that even the Woodhouse's are here, I have to find amusing because I have lived with the Woodhouse tenants for three years. They have asingle-family property that has two rental properties on it. It is a 1940s house, and I'm not sure the age of the other house. We have people speeding in and out of the neighborhood that live back there. They have motorcycle groups that go in and out of there. I hear chain saws. I've had to call the fire department on them burning trash and leaves on the property. Simply put, and this is a total understatement, the Woodhouse property is the scourge of the neighborhood. Joseph Strange: Ma'am, could stick to the matter at hand? Vanessa Dallas: So, I'm just going to let that lie. Joseph Strange: Can you direct your comments towards the application itself? Vanessa Dallas: Well, I just wanted to let you know the history. There was also a specific performance law suit between the developer and the Woodhouse family, so there is some bad blood there, but having said that, the Flints do a beautiful job. I'm in favor of a joint pier between Lots I S & 16. I'm sorry I didn't get in about the tenant carrying guns. But anyway, I think it would be a good thing. It will help property values and increase our tax base, which is good for ~_ everybody in the city. Thank you. Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page3 Joseph Strange: Thank you very much for coming. Chris Flint: Sorry, Mr. Chairman, I didn't realize it was my chance to speak. I'll give you a little background on what we propose to do here. Mr. Zirpoli actually lives right here (pointing to PowerPoint). That is his personal house. He developed the entire neighborhood over here, and cleaned up all that farmland. These two properties right here are actually under the development by Mr. Zirpoli. Joseph Strange: Sir, please could you identify yourself again? Chris Flint: Excuse me? Joseph Strange: Could you identify yourself again? Chris Flint: My name is Chris Flint. I'm the agent. I'm with Flint Construction. Sorry. Anyway, what we are doing here and we have worked with staff, and we're trying to create a dual pier, dual; access for two owners. And what is happening here is we're trying to move it over on Mr. Zirpoli's actual lot to keep it out of the creek. That keeps the beauty of the creek, and the wildlife and all the other stuff. The dual access pier would be built to come down here with two boat lifts that these two people would share. And basically that is the argument. I guess the opposition is asking that we actually, and if you could go back to that one shot? That one is fine. I think that we actually build a walk path through Mr. Zirpoli's lot and then start over here with the pier. Beside intrude on Mr. Zirpoli's actual property that he hasn't approved on the other side of the trees, I would be tearing up all the trees into the CBPA area. If I follow the rules with it being 4 feet tall, then it allows the grass and everything to continue to grow under the pier. There is one argument about being four foot wide versus five foot wide. Four foot wide is okay on a normal pier two but when you're talking 600 and 700 feet long, and you have a family with you, two people can walk comfortably down a five foot wide pier, with their children if you want to hold their hand or something. You can't walk two people down a four foot wide pier. Mr. Zirpoli would actually save money by doing a foot less width, but that consideration was taken for the safety of the future residents. That is all that I have to say. I'm here for any questions. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. Chris Flint: Yes sir. Al Henley: The next speaker in support would be Robert Zirpoli. Robert Zirpoli: Thank you for having me. My name is Robert Zirpoli, and I appreciate you having me here. I'm the developer. I developed Estates on the Lynnhaven, and I tried to incorporate everything that was perfect in that development. I think we've done a pretty darn good job there. We've built probably ten docks, and they're mostly fixed, and they're floating at the end. I want to have this cove, so it's opened so people that are going in there, they don't buy it from me, and build two piers going down there. I move the pier completely on my side of the Item #1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page4 property so it is on my side of the cove. Some of it is over land so everybody has their own view. They both will share the pier. They both will have their boat docks so later on down the road I don't have two piers going down hoping that, and I want these people to look out their back door and have a beautiful view. It is a fantastic area, and that is what I'm trying to do instead of trying to do two. I'm trying to make it better instead of worse. Are there any questions? Thank you. Joseph Strange: Thank you. Al Henley: Okay, the next speaker in opposition is Mrs. Sarah Woodhouse. Sarah Woodhouse: Hi. That was lovely. Joseph Strange: Please identify yourself for us. Sarah Woodhouse: I'm Sarah Woodhouse. Joseph Strange: Thank you. Sarah Woodhouse: How long do I have to talk? Joseph Strange: Are you the only opposition? Sarah Woodhouse: I think so. Joseph Strange: You have as much as ten minutes. Sarah Woodhouse: Okay. First, I just want to thank you all for allowing me to come this morning and hear the briefing, and to be here today to express my concern about this matter. You all seem to be passionate about your work at the beach, and I appreciate that. I remember riding the rides at Seaside Park myself. In the interest of full disclosure, I do want to say that we do have tenants living on that property. My family has long roots of Virginia Beach. None of us are currently living here but we're still very emotionally attached to the beach and to that property. And pay $23,731 in taxes this year on the property that we have. I was sorry to hear the concerns about our tenants because we had just gotten rid of some tenants, and moved in new families and the houses that are there, and have done a lot of work on both houses. Maybe that is old news that was being shared earlier. I want to clarify one point from my letter. I think, when I had suggested the alternative plan, I think that some of the members of the Commission thought that I was suggesting that the two lots there be able to use Mr. Zirpoli's existing pier, which wasn't my intention. What I was suggesting was that rather than go through that inlet with that big pier that runs its entire length along our property line that they go around that little inlet, and have their floating boat ramp, sort of where it is now. But it just wouldn't go all the way through that cove. I don't know how many of you were able to go on the tour to see that little inlet but I think the situation is really unique, and is different from some of the other piers that people have __ built. Can you put that other slide up that just shows the plan? Just the drawing? So, I was Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Pages thinking that instead of having this long pier that really and totally is, and nothing against Flint Construction. I know nothing about them. I don't wish Mr. Zirpoli any ill either. It is just huge. This is like more than 600 feet of length of pier going across which is just a lovely little inlet. What I was hoping was there could be a path or a just if people prefer walking on a wooden pier that could come perhaps to this point then just have the pier cross here with the floating pier there. And to me, I feel like that would be better for everybody. I mean, this lot has been vacant since Mr. Zirpoli developed things. I believe, and I may be incorrect here but I believe that this is the Stackhouse that has been sitting there for a couple of years at least. It is so interesting that he would like to make these more marketable. If I were looking at either this lot or this house, I would prefer not to have this whole pier thing because it is really very beautiful. And, with this plan, I was just wondering if they couldn't have access to the bay, and people could still pull up their lawn chair, throw out their kayak and just enjoy this beauty without this massive expansion pier. See, this is running right along our property line in its full extent. So, I just want to clarify that I wasn't suggesting that they be able to use his existing pier but then maybe we could have a situation that would sort of work well for everybody. Earlier at the meeting, Carolyn said that you all had just approved a similar pier in the same neighborhood, and I'm just hoping that maybe isn't exactly true because I suspect that the situation is different in maybe one or more ways. One, I'm wondering if there was a third party whose property would be adversely affected as ours is by this. We still own the predominate section of that little inlet. I think no matter how nice a pier it is, it would clearly be marred by a pier going straight through it. So, I'm wondering if there was a third party who is as adversely affected? I'm wondering if the length of that other pier was in its tota1664 feet. Did it run the entire length of someone else's property? And did it traverse an actual gorgeous inlet. I mean that is my main thing it is just mamng the beauty of this inlet, and that is just running right next to our property. And she suggested that these lots both have riparian rights. I would suggest that is kind of what continual riparian rights are. Maybe there are riparian rights when you have a big waterfront acreage, and maybe it is something different when your lot narrows down to a tiny little flagpole that is only ten feet wide. So, I am kind of curious about that. And, one of the people at the meeting wisely wondered why it had to be shifted over. And I think it is because of the narrowness of those two lots. In the staff report, the evaluation it said they feel that Lot 16A, which is adjacent and is ten feet wide provides a buffer between the pier and the adjacent property to the south, which I'm saying that as the property owner to the south, we don't agree with that. We don't think it is a sufficient buffer, and we don't really see why they should get a variance from the 20 foot side yard setback. And, this isn't the first time that I had to come down here to sort of fend a proposal for a pier when I came once before, the Zoning Board actually found in our favor. And I guess it would be just great if we could just come up with a plan that would work for everybody so we can stop making these visits. So, in summary what is really important to my family is this is a unique case. We're concerned that this pier goes straight through this beautiful inlet, and we just would prefer a path around or a wooden walkway around ending close to the same point but does not go through that beautiful inlet. It might preserve the inlet for everyone's enjoyment including the potential new owners of that lot and that house. So, thanks for your time. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page6 Donald Horsley: I have a question. Ms. Woodhouse, you said the pier is along your property line? Would you show us your property line? Sarah Woodhouse: Our property line is this. But this is only ten feet. I think. So, this is our property over here. And, so this is our property line. Then right there is the pier. Right here, so technically it is one lot over, but because these lots were drawn in a really strange way. It is not really any distance away. Donald Horsley: Can you show us the two houses that you have? Sarah Woodhouse: Yes. Can you go back to the other one? Yes sir. Okay. This is the old farm house and this is the cottage. Kathy Katsias: Now show us your property line now? Sarah Woodhouse: This is the property line in question. I'm not exactly sure where the property line is. Kathy Katsias: So, when you were showing us on the other plat, it was turned around. Sarah Woodhouse: But I think I had it right. Kathy Katsias: No. Joseph Strange: She did. Donald Horsley: I understand where you're coming from. Sarah Woodhouse: Okay. Donald Horsley: But the pier is not by your property line. It is one lot from the removing with the stem, counting the stem is what I'm talking about. Okay. Sarah Woodhouse: But, I mean the stem is all there is at that point. So, technically it is one lot. But it is also less the distance from here to there. The other question that I have is, and you mentioned it, that you would rather have a wooden walkway through there? Sarah Woodhouse: On the other side like not through the inlet. Not through that little inlet. Donald Horsley: Through Mr. Zirpoli's property you just would rather have a wooden walkway to go through there? Sarah Woodhouse: Right. Just because it is just so intrusive to have, and I think a lot of people may agree with me. I think it is very intrusive to have a pier that goes through an inlet. Item #1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Pagel Donald Horsley: I thought that was his reason for moving it over on the property to stay out of the inlet. Is it? Sarah Woodhouse: It does move it more to the edge but look back at the other one again? It is still going through it here. Donald Horsley: Okay. I don't have any other questions. Sarah Woodhouse: Okay, thank you very much. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. The applicant now has three minutes. Chris Flint: Yes sir, just a couple of rebuttal items. The City and the Army Corp have both verified it. Ed Weeden: Your name? Chris Flint: I'm sorry. I have to say that each time. I apologize. Chris Flint, with Flint Construction, and I represent Mr. Zirpoli. The City and the Army Corps have verified. They are both riparian homeowners. Actually, could you go back to the plan drawing please? Those are some good shots showing the woods. I'm going to get these property lines straightened for you all. This is the property line that goes right here and it jots straight out. Okay. This is the property next door. This is Mr. Zirpoli's lot. His pier is totally on the other side of the property. This lot right here is undeveloped because of the economy of course. Ed Weeden: Chris, come back to the microphone and talk about this. Use the laser pointer. Chris Flint: This gets kind of confusing because it is really tight in there. The line right here plus I'm shaking. The line right here the pier actually crosses over into this middle lot and then goes over onto. I can't see it myself it is so tight. Okay. The pier is actually on Mr. Zirpoli's property, and it is just outside of the creek if you're facing the waterway to the right. And, the City of Virginia Beach and the Army Corps have made rules that when you build piers over marsh grass to protect the environment it has to be a certain height. Now all of those rules are going to be followed, so we're not doing any damage to any kind of wetlands. The more detrimental damage would be forme to go through the woods into Mr. Zirpoli's actual property through his woods and build a structure on top of that. That would destroy trees and everything else. So, the way that we are doing it across this marsh grass is approved by all three agencies, and that is how they protect the grass. It grows under. We're not killing anything. I'm just going to drive woodpile through the grass and that is it. That is all that I have to say. Joseph Strange: Does anyone else have any questions? Janice Anderson: I think what we cleared up from this diagram right here is that his property line includes part of that cove. Is that correct? Item #1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page8 Chris Flint: Yes ma'am. His very left hand edge if he is facing the water includes part of the cove. Janice Anderson: The cove. Chris Flint: He has let that pier come over as close to his property as possible within the rights of this jurisdiction to allow the creek to stay open so it is just on the right hand side of the creek. Janice Anderson: Is there any other questions? Phil Russo: If I understand correctly, I think Ms. Woodhouse was asking that the pier actually be started farther down the property line. Chris Flint: Actually, she is asking that the pier start right here. Phil Russo: Yeah. Chris Flint: Well, that would mean that we would have to build something through all of these woods to support the structure. Phil Russo: Right. ~_ Chris Flint: And that would actually be on Mr. Zirpoli's property. Phil Russo: And I think what your saying is... Chris Flint: Were just to the right of his actual property. Phil Russo: But I think you're also saying that would actually create more environmental impacts. Chris Flint: Absolutely. I would be trampling over roots and whatever trees I didn't have to take out in my way, the piling could kill the roots and the trees would die in a year or two. Joseph Strange: Okay. Al? Al Henley: Mr. Flint, one last question. Chris Flint: Yes sir. Al Henley: The creek as we refer to it, on low tide is that amicable? Chris Flint: During the summer. Right now, no, because right now because during December, January, and February the tides are running a foot lower than normal. In the summer, you're talking inches. He could get a canoe in there but no boat. Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page9 Robert Zirpoli: In the past two years there have been at least two feet of water in there. Joseph Strange: Identify yourself please. Robert Zirpoli: Robert Zirpoli. I'm the land owner. For the past two years, since we've dredged, it's gotten fuller and fuller in there, and basically I own half the cove. I've moved all the way over to the right side to get it out of the cove and to get everybody we knew further and further away from Mr. & Mrs. Woodhouse's property. That is it in a nutshell. Chris Flint: We can't move it any farther away basically. Robert Zirpoli: And, I've had a 25 foot boat there in and out many, many times. Joseph Strange: Are there any other questions? Al Henley: There are no other speakers. Joseph Strange: I'll open it up for questions. Jay Bernas: A quick question. In the application it says that you're applying for a JPA. Has that been approved yet? Chris Flint: No sir. The Planning Department won't approve that without this approval. Joseph Strange: Repeat that. Robert Zirpoli: They won't approve it until you all do. Chris flint: That is correct. The City part but the Army has approved it, and the State has approved it, and all that is being verified on this decision. Joseph Strange: Are there any other questions? Thank you very much. Chris Flint: Yes sir. Just to reiterate. I agree with the Planning Department's five conditions. Joseph Strange: We're going to open it up for discussion now among the Commissioners. Ron? Ronald Ripley: Mr. Whitney, if these two lots came in and asked for a separate pier for each lot would they have the right to have those. Jack Whitney: They would not have to come before this Commission. The only reason why they are here is because technically a joint pier is considered for the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance to be a community boat dock/pier. And that requires a use permit. If they wanted to come in individually they would not have to come before the Commission. Item # 1 West Neck Properties, Inc. Page10 ~ Ronald Ripley: I think for the reasons that the staff has stated in there, when you're ready for a motion, I'll be happy to make it on this application. Joseph Strange: Is there any other discussion? Okay Ron? Ronald Ripley: A motion to approve. Joseph Strange: A motion has been made by Ron Ripley and a second by Dave Redmond.

Discontinuance, closure and abandonment of a portion of Market Street Northeast corner of the intersection of Market Street and Columbus Street District 5 Lynnhaven February 11, 2009 CONSENT Joseph Strange: The next item is item 18, an application of Town Center Associates, L.L.C. for a discontinuance, closure, and abandonment of a portion of Market Street located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Market Street and Columbus Street, District 5, Lynnhaven with six (6) conditions. Mike Nuchols: Good afternoon for the record, Mike Nuchols representing the applicant. The applicant is in agreement with alI the conditions. Joseph Strange: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the wnsent agenda? If not, the Chaianan lzas asked Ron Ripley to review this item. Ronald Ripley: Thank you Joe. This is really a housekeeping matter too_ It's a discontinuance, closure, and abandonment of a little small portion, actually the northeast corner of Market Street and Columbus Street at the Town Center, It really kind of squares the block off for this next development that Armada Hofller will be developing, which is a 208-unit apartment building, a hotel, and some retail component. It does include adjacent air space, which is, in the case of zero lot line developments like this, where you build right up to the right-of-way. Sometimes you might impede the right-of-way with your foundations or your beams and this basically it avoids those conflicts. There is method worked out for the City. So, it was very minor matter, and we felt that it ought to go on consent. Joseph Strange: Thank you Ron. Madame Chairman, I make a motion to approve item 18 Janice Anderson: We have a motion by Joy Strange and a second by Gene Crabtree. Mr. Redmond? David Redmond: Madame Chairman, I will be abstaining on item 18, as I have a business conflict. Janice Anderson: Thank you.

Smith REQUEST: Discontinuance. closure and abandonment of a portion of right-of-way known as Market Street, and subjacent air space, at the northeast comer of Columbus Street and Market Street ADDRESS /DESCRIPTION: Property located on the northeast corner of comer of Columbus Street and Market Street GPIN: ELECTION D (STRICT: SITE SIZE: AICUZ: 1477541429 LYNNHAVEN 8 square feet: portion Less than 65 d6 DNL of Market Street 7 square feet: subjacent air space SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant requests closure of a very small portion of the Market Street right-0f-way and subjacent air space in order to square off the comer and ultimately construct a 15-story building consisting of a retail component and up to 208 units as a mix of hotel and apartments. A Conditional Use Permit is required, and follows, to construct this structure. Specifically, the request is to close eight (8) square feet at the corner of Columbus and Market Streets and to close seven (7) square feet of subjacent air space, for improvements to the site. As part of this agreement, the City will receive 36 square feet of subjacent airspace to be conveyed by the Virginia Beach Development Authority. TOWN CENTER ASSOCIATES /VEDA Agenda Item 1:8 Page 1 LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: Undeveloped vacant site SURROUNDING LAND North: USE AND ZONING: Commerce Street, restaurant and retail / B-3A Business District South: Columbus Street, office, open space / B-3 Business District East: Central Park Avenue, apartments / B-3A Business District West: Market Street, hotel and apartments / B-3A Business District NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES The site is within the Chesapeake'Bay watershed. There do not appear : to be any significant environmental or cultural features on the site. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES WATER 8 SEWER: There are no water or sewer lines in the area proposed for closure. PRIVATE UTILITES: Preliminary comments from private utility companies indicate that there are no private utilities within the area proposed for closure. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Evaluation: The Street Closure Viewers met and determined that no public inconvenience will result by approving the requests to close eight (8) square feet of the right-of way and seven (7) square feet of subjacent air space at the northeast comer of Columbus and Market Streets. Most of the streets in Town Center were dedicated with subjacent rights, meaning, a differentiation is made between ownership of property above, below, and at grade. As the subjacent rights are those under the land that, in this case, the City owns, the dosure of the right-of--way includes property below grade as well as above grade in order to avoid possible future legal encroachment issues with underground supporting structures and utilities serving the improvements constructed on adjacent blocks. As many of the buildings in Town Center are constructed with a zero setback from the right-of--way, the foundations for the buildings (some of which are constructed on deeply driven pilings that may not be TOWN CENTER ASSOCIATES / VBDA .Agenda Item 18 -Page 2 driven exactly vertical) and utility facilities serving the buildings may protrude beneath the surface of the adjacent streets. The request to vacate the seven (7) square feet of subjacent air space means that the City will relinquish its rights to the property beneath a small portion of the right-of--way to the Virginia Beach Development Authority (VEDA). Upon closure of the eight (8) square feet of Market Street and the City's relinquishment of its subjacent air rights, the underlying area in which any supporting structures and utilities may be located can be done so without constituting encroachment. As part of this agreement, the Virginia Beach Development Authority (VEDA) will also convey 36 square feet of subjacent airspace to the City. This area was reserved by the VBDA per the 2002 Phase 1-A subdivision plat and related Deed of Dedication. A 2004 resubdivision plat and related Deed of Dedication dedicated an 18-foot wide strip of Market Street immediately to the north of this area, leaving out this portion of the subjacent area. This action will simply clean up and finish off what probably should have been included in the 2004 resubdivision. Staff recommends approval of both the closure of eight (8) square feet and seven (7) square feet of subjacent airspace at the northeast comer of Columbus and Market Streets subject to the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. The City Attorney's Office will makes the final determination regarding ownership_of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to th a City is normally 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. No purchase price shall. be charged~in.this street closure; however, because the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the current owner of the property affected by the street closure) shall reconvey to the City, as consideration for this street closure, any interest in subjacent air space that no longer needs to be reserved by reason of this street closure. 2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal Iqt 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 util ity 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 TOWN CENTER ASSOCIATES /VBDA Agenda Item 9 8 -Page 3 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. 6. If required by the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Department, the applicant shall relocate, in a manner satisfactory to the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Department, the existing traffic signal pole and any other signal equipment now located within the right-of-way proposed for closure NOTE: Further conditions maybe required during the adminisfration of applicable City Ordinances.

APPR V D ~4 TO LE A S F ICIEN City Attorney's Office CA-11326 R-2 November 25, 2009 3 Item #4 City of Virginia Beach An Ordinance to amend Sections 111, 211 and 212 of the City Zoning Ordinance and add new Section 21 1.1 defining the term "Roadside Guide Sign" and establishing requirements for allowing such signs in the public right-of--way February 10, 2010 CONSENT Jay Bernas: The next matter is agenda item 4. This is an application of the City of Virginia Beach. It's an ordinance to amend sections 111, 211, and 212 of the City Zoning Ordinance and to add new Section 211.1 defining the term "Roadside Guide Sign" and establishing requirements for allowing such signs in the public right-of--way. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? Hearing none, the Chairman has asked Deputy City Attorney Bill Macali to please review this item. Bill Macali: Mr. Chairman and members of the Board. This is an ordinance that would allow a very limited number of signs, which we've called "roadside guide signs" because all they do is show the name of an establishment, perhaps a logo or other graphic representation and a directional arrow as well as mileage, which helps motorists arrive at the location they are seeking. These signs are allowed only with the approval of the City Council. There is no such thing as to be able to put one up by-right. And only upon the application of the owner or operator of a user establishment that is operating exclusively for cultural, literary, scientific or artistic purposes, and on anot-for-profit basis. So, you can see that these signs are for a very, very small group of organizations. We don't expect there will be a great number of them. They must have the approval of the City Council. There are other things in here, to ensure they will be small and unobtrusive. They cannot be any greater than 5 square feet in area, 8 feet high including the pole on which they have been placed. The lettering, graphic elements and background have to be approved by the Department of Public Works, and the signs may be put only in the specific locations approved by the City Council. So, we feel that this is not really a very far reaching amendment. It just accommodates certain non-profit scientific, literary, cultural or artistic organizations that are located in places that are pretty much off the main road, and are difficult to find for people who want to find them. So, it was, by the way, the request of two of the members of City Council identified on the ordinance, and referred to the Planning Commission for action by the entire City Council. Jay Bernas: Mr. Chairman that was the last item on the consent agenda. I would like to make a motion to approve consent agenda item 4. Joseph Strange: Do I have a second? Kathy Katsias: Second. Joseph Strange: A motion has been made by Jay Bernas and seconded by Kathy Katsias to put item 4 on the consent agenda.

MEETING DATE: March 9, 2010 ^ Background: The attached proposal to amend the Zoning Ordinance is proposed as a means of addressing requests to the Board of Zoning Appeals for variances to the current setback requirement of 30 feet from the ocean for lots adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean within the R-5R Residential District. ^ Considerations: The proposed amendment establishes a five foot minimum setback from the property line adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean beach for in-ground swimming pools in the R-5R Residential Resort District. The original intent of the increased setback from the ocean appears to have been to protect views. Since in-ground swimming pools do not negatively impact views, the North Beach Civic League supports this amendment. Public Works has reviewed the change and concludes that the reduced setback for pools will not conflict with City seawall projects or negatively impact beach protection. There was no public opposition to the proposed amendments. ^ Recommendations: The Planning Commission, by a recorded vote of 7-3, voted to recommend approval the proposed amendments. ^ Attachments: Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Ordinance Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval. Planning Commission recommends approval.

I'm going to ask our Secretary Al Henley to handle this portion of the agenda. Al Henley: Thank you Joe. The first item is item 6, the City of Virginia Beach. An ordinance to amend the City Zoning Ordinance to reduce the setback requirements for in-ground swimming pools located on lots adjacent to beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in the R-SR Residential District. Mr. Macali. Mr. Macali: Ms. Lasley will address this. Al Henley: I'm sorry. Okay. Karen Lasley: Would you like me to summarize the amendment? Al Henley: Yes. Karen Lasley: This is an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to setbacks from the Oceanfront only for in-ground swimming pools in the R-SR Residential District at the north end. At the north end, the R-SR zoning is unique in that there is a special setback, a 30-foot setback required from the rear property line that abuts the Atlantic Ocean, and that applies to all structures. And what this regulation has done is prevent people from putting in-ground swimming pools in their backyards because they don't have the room with that setback. The 30- foot setback was designed to prevent structures from going into that area closest to the ocean that would obstruct people's views of the ocean. In-ground swimming pools, of course do not cause that problem. So there have been a number of property owners asking for this amendment. Three years ago, we had a package of R-SR amendments, and this swimming pool setback was part of that package, but a lot of things in that package were controversial, and this got deferred along with that. So, today we are just bringing you back this amendment that pertains only to the in- ground swimming pools. Are there any questions that I can answer for you? Joseph Strange: Are there any questions for Ms. Lasley? Okay. Thank you Karen. Karen Lasley: Thank you. Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Chairman, my name is Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney, and I represent some of the folks at the north end who have been trying to get this done for the last three years to put in in-ground swimming pools in the north end. There is no objection to it. As Ms. Lasley indicated the special rules at the north end was put in, this 30 foot no structure rule was put in, in my view because of the significant number of variances that have been granted Item #6 City of Virginia Beach Page 2 over the years. This goes back probably a couple of decades for structures and getting closer and closer to the Atlantic Ocean so they could preserve the views. No one was thinking about in- ground swimming pools, and the fact that it doesn't have any effect on views. This setback, this 5-foot rear yard setback for in-ground swimming pool is the same setback that applies to an in- ground swimming pool in every other residential district, including the R-SR Residential District if you are at Chesapeake Beach, or anywhere else, Croatan, which is R-10 and Sandbridge, which is R-20 all the way around the City, and the 5-foot setback for an in-ground swimming pools if you are on the bay front or the beach front. It is only at the north end that it is different. It wasn't ever intended to be that way, in my opinion to begin with. This just straightens that out, and treats the north end, the ocean front properties the same as any other ocean front, bay front or waterfront property anywhere in the city. Now, when I say waterfront, we do now have the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance which deals with issues on waterfront inland properties and does create some issues with regard to swimming pools. I don't want to misconstrue that but the setback, which is all were talking about here, now would be the same for in-ground swimming pools in every ocean front and bay front community. That is all this is about. Joseph Strange: Thank you Eddie. Are there any questions for Eddie? Eddie Bourdon: Thank you. Joseph Strange: Since there are no questions, we will now open this item up for discussion among the Commissioners. Al Henley: There are no other speakers. Joseph Strange: Chris? Chris Felton: I understand that many different agencies and different individuals have approved this, and say it won't damage the dune line or the stonmwater drainage that is going on. But, just in my point of view and ethically, I cannot vote for this change. I understand that it is there to preserve the views but I'm looking more at preserving the ecological stability that is down there as well. And, then at the same time, I would have probably, if I was back in the day approving the Sandbridge and the Chesapeake Bay, I probably would have done the same thing because I just don't feel right encroaching on those areas. And many of the discussions that we had in the informal brought up a lot of good points. If the City had to go and do some repairs or stuff to the bulkheads, if there was any kind of damage to these underground facilities, would the City have to deal with the cost of fixing those or just the battle and the nuisance of dealing with those damages that happen? Eddie Bourdon: May I approach Mr. Chairman? Joseph Strange: Go ahead Eddie. Eddie Bourdon: I'm just going to suggest to the Commissioner that none of this has any impact on the Coastal Primary Sand Dune Protection Act, which would preclude any alteration of a sand Item #6 City of Virginia Beach Page 3 dune including the rear side of a sand dune for any swimming pool. So there can't be any impact on the sand dunes as a result of this change whatsoever, so just to make that clear. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Jay Bernas: I would like to make a motion to approve. Joseph Strange: Okay. We have a motion by Jay to approve. Donald Horsley: Second. Joseph Strange: We have a second by Don Horsley.

S:, y ~~rJ CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to amend Section 111 and add new Section 217 to the City Zoning Ordinance, defining monument signs and electronic display signs and establishing requirements for such signs MEETING DATE: March 9, 2010 ^ Background: The Zoning Ordinance has no specific regulations pertaining to the use of electronic display elements as part of a sign. As a result, electronic display elements, as part of a sign or as an entire sign face, have made a steady advance across the city when new signs have been installed. As noted above, with the increased sophistication of digital sign technology, the slowly decreasing costs, and the plethora of advertising alternatives electronic display signs offer, such signs are becoming, if not are, the standard for signage. The near future could see the replacement of standard plastic-based sign faces that are internally illuminated with electronic display faces consisting of images that can be easily manipulated. ^ Considerations: On August 25, 2009, the City Council referred to the Planning Commission suggested amendments to the Zoning Ordinance intended to provide regulations for Electronic Display Signs. The Planning Commission, after extensive review and public comment, developed an Alternate Version of the amendments, and at their hearing on January 13, 2010, recommended the Alternate Version of the amendments to the City Council. On February 9, 2010, the City Council deferred action on the amendments and requested a briefing from staff summarizing the issue and the amendments. Staff provided that briefing on February 16, 2010. The City Council subsequently appointed a subcommittee consisting of two members to work with staff on developing a version of the amendments that would be reflective of various issues and concerns expressed during a discussion that occurred after staff's briefing. The intent was to have City Council act on this revised version of the ordinance at the March 9 meeting; thus, the item was advertised for hearing on March 9 as required by Virginia State Code. ^ Recommendations: Since then, two meetings have been held by the subcommittee, with members of staff and the Planning Commission's subcommittee on this issue in attendance. The meetings have resulted in a new alternative version of the amendments. That version will be discussed during City Council's informal session, with the City of Virginia Beach -Electronic Display Signs Amendment Page2of2 intent of voting on the amendments during City Council's March 23 formal session.
