CITY COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS
VIRGINIA AQUARIUM and MARINE SCIENCE CENTER RENOVATION PROJECT
ITEM # 59758
Council Members DeSteph and Wood, Liaisons to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center,
distributed information and photograph concerning the Aquarium's two (2) Tomistoma crocodiles.
Restless Planet Exhibit. There has been record attendance since this Exhibit opened.
The Aquarium's two Tomistoma crocodiles, Grover and Gloria, must know it is Spring, as they are
exhibiting mating behavior. This is an endangered species. If offspring are produced, it will increase the
number. There is an estimated 2,500 in the wild. Over the next ten years, fifty (50%) of the population
will be reduced due to deforestation and clear cutting for palm oil production. There are only thirty-four
(34) of these rare crocodiles in the United States and seven (7) pairs in that number that are potentially
viable breeders.
Restless Planet has been a success beyond its educational value. The visitation has increased 53% over
the last year for the period of November 21, 2009 to January 25, 2010, with an accompanying revenue
increase of 81%.
Fozzie, the Harbor Seal, was released at First Landing State Park March 11th. Fozzie was stranded
January 19 in Carova, North Carolina. Staff from the North Wildlife Resources Commission rescued
Fozzie and transported him to the Virginia Aquarium Marine Animal Care Center. He was diagnosed wih
severe pneumonia and healing fractured rib. At admission, this weak Harbor Seal was approximately 42
pounds and was almost 70 pounds when released and ready to return to his natural habitat.

ITEM # 59760
K 3. Ordinance to AMEND §111 and ADD §217 of the City Zoning Ordinance (CZO) re
requirements for monument and electronic display signs (LED) (deferred February 9 and
March 9, 2010).
Mayor Sessoms advised the Beautification Commission met with him approximately two (2) hours ago re
the LED.
The Beautification Commission did not feel they were included in the process. He does not believe the
Council Members wish them to have this perception. The Commission has requested Councilman
Members Wilson and Davis commence a process and take action within sixty (60) days. Other groups
might also wish to participate. Mayor Sessoms inquired of the City Attorney if City Council takes action,
would there be no LED signs for sixty (60) days. Then a recommendation could be forthcoming.
The City Attorney, Mark Stiles, advised if substantial changes are made, the Ordinance must be referred
back to the Planning Commission. Sixty (60) days would be a tight deadline. City Attorney Stiles
suggested an Ordinance be in place that provides some guidelines rather than a strict moratorium
Mayor Sessoms said he would prefer ninety (90) days.
Council Diezel would not support a moratorium. Council Lady Wilson advised the Planning Commission
has a Subcommittee.
City Attorney Mark Stiles advised the Planning Commission did not consider a "ban ", not even a
temporary one as a moratorium.
Jack Whitney, Director of Planning, advised twenty (20) applications have been delayed close to a year.
Mayor Sessoms referenced Item No. 8 on page 5: all electronic displays shall remain static for a period
of at least one (1) hour. As a conservative measure, Mayor Sessoms suggested this be amended to
twenty-four (24) hours.
No. 8 on page 5: all electronic displays shall remain static for a period of at least twenty-
four (24) hours one (1) hour.

PUBLIC COMMENT
ITEM # 59766
Mayor Sessoms INVITED PUBLIC COMMENT:
MONUMENT AND LED SIGNS
The following registered to speak in SUPPORT:
Ben Barr, 1015 Maple Street, Danville, IL, represent a company called Watchfire Signs, which is a
manufacturer. He represented the industry on behalf the folks that have permits in currently and also the
taxpayers that cannot be here today because they are running their business. They are a real big part of
the community.
John Yarrington, 5312 Macchonancy Street, spoke stating that he is one of the people that has several
permits that keep getting denied. He has concerns with the new Ordinance, specifically, with several
items under "D", Item 6, 7 and 8. Telling a business owner that they have to purchase a 19 millimeter or
better sign is compared to buying a Volkswagen or a Cadillac. He does not want flashing animation but
feels that limiting the message to one (1) hour is unjust.
The following registered to speak in OPPOSITION:
Pat Bridges, represented the Virginia Beach Beautification Commission. Mrs. Bridges gave a brief
history of the Commission. The group has studied billboards and signage and a committee made up of a
cross-section of citizens, including sign company representation, for a year and a half. The
recommendation to City Council that there be a moratorium on new billboards. Virginia Beach has been
recognized as a Tree City each year that the award exists. He suggested the City Council not lose the
vision and not reverse this project.
Johnnie Miller, Past President of the Virginia Beach Beautification Commission. She served on the
Committee that drafted the original Sign Ordinance. This issue is a serious concern, not only to her, but
too many others that have worked so many years to keep Virginia Beach from looking like so many other
resort cities. After doing some research for the 60th Anniversary, we discovered that at one time, Atlantic
Avenue was called the "garbage guldge ". Virginia Beach has received many awards and achievements
in the past few years: "The best place to grow up in; the sixth best city for the outdoors; top U.S. market
for job growth; the Boardwalk is one of the top ten great public places; the best new environmental
improvement" and many more. The LED signs did not help us in receiving these awards and will not
help the City in the future. They are a blight and put people on sensory overload.
Admiral Tom Ward, 20178th Street. Admiral Ward also a Past President of the Virginia Beach
Beautification Commission. He chaired a committee of the Commission, called the Color Project, and
City Council adopted, the Commission's motto: "beauty is good business. He is also concerned about the
traffic safety of LED signs.
Nancy Parker, former Member of City Council, stated that she could not put her position into better
words than those written by the City Manager in a letter dated February 5, 2010. Since the mid 1980's,
City Council and the community have joined forces in many ways to transform the appearance of Virginia
Beach. Those efforts have paid off, creating high quality of life, which is a critical part in our ongoing

community success and pride. It is also a central foundation of our economic vitality strategy. We do not
need mini billboards with lights and messages changing intermittently. The chaotic cluttered roadside
lined with electronic signs will not add value and quality to our sense of community.
Reba McClanan, former Member of City Council, has been involved with the Council of Garden Clubs
for many years. Mrs. McClanan stated that these Garden Clubs have raised `hundreds of thousands of
dollars for the beautification of Virginia Beach and they deserve to be appreciated. The City has learned
some hard, hard lessons.
Judy Connors, 3958 Whispering Oaks Place, is a thirty-six (36) year resident of the Bayside area. Mrs.
Connors stated that she did not hear the Mayor's State of the City address but read some excerpts from it
where we spoke of his vision for the City. She respectfully requests that City Council have the courage to
vote against any blight along our highways. Please vote for the Ordinance that has the one color
background, similar to what is at Cox High School.
Grace Moran, 2225 Roanoke Avenue, is President and represented the Shore Drive Community
Coalition. If you must have LED signs, the Alternate Version is preferable to the original version. We
support the Alternate Ordinance in restricting the size of the LED display area to fifty (50) percent. We
would also like to see the Ordinance go further in limiting the hours of illumination.
Linda Russell, 1212 Skylard Drive. She stated that she is against the signs.
Betty Kennedy, 2700 Cattayle Run, represented the Chesopeian Colony Garden Club. She is active in
the Civic League in Chesopein Colony and the Garden Club. She supports the Beautification Committee
and is totally against any large signs or lights. She stated that she wants Virginia Beach to be a beautiful
spot for tourists, visitors and, most of all, the residents of this City. The Club is not for the signs, and
hopes that City Council will be able to vote against this request. She encouraged the City Council to keep
Virginia Beach one of the best places for people to live as it has been cited many times.
Robert G. Jones, former Mayor, stated he is in support of the letter received from the City Manager and
feels that it is a real gift to the City. He stated that LED signs are not nice, not necessary, and not
needed. He has spent hundreds of hours in the task of beautification of this City. He feels that the one
question that is before the City Council is "What is best for the City?" He does not feel that these signs
add value to the City, in fact, they detracts. The City is at an important 'fork in the road" in this matter
and he feels if the City Council chooses to allow LED signs, then there is no coming back and the citizens
will have to live with the signs forever.
