HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
INITIAL FINDINGS
(Continued)
To add Alternatives to the Study is a meticulous process with the Federal Government and approval was
received in October 2012. However, we must now determine whether it is feasible and reasonable for
these Alignment Alternatives:
Addition of Hilltop Area Alignment to VBTES
• City requested addition of Hilltop SGA Alternatives(July 2012)
• Request for FTA approval(September 2012)
• FTA approval received(October 2012)
R

yy hr
This is the focus of the current Study's efforts:
Study of the Hilltop Area Alignment Alternatives
Evaluate if a fixed guideway alignment through Hilltop
should be added to the Virginia Beach Transit Extension
Study by:
1. Examining the physical feasibility of putting fixed
guideway transit along Laskin Road/Birdneck Road/First
Colonial Road
2. Determining the ridership potential,cost,and major
impacts of a Hilltop alignment.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS
HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
INITIAL FINDINGS
(Continued)
tg g'
Physical Design and Alignment
Under the original VBTES Alignment to the Oceanfront, the service would depart the right-of-way at
Birdneck Road, travel down 17`x' Street, cut across to the Convention Center and 19`x' Street, continuing
to the Oceanfront. This Alignment cuts through two (2) Navy Clear Zones and three (3) APZ-1 Areas
which is a serious concern for the Navy:

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS
HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
INITIAL FINDINGS
(Continued)
The new proposed Alignment through the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area (SGA) to Birdneck would move
the Alignment out of the Clear Zones and most ofAPZ- 1 Areas. Two (2) new stations could be developed
in the Hilltop Area to increase ridership:

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS
HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
INITIAL FINDINGS
(Continued)
In order for these Alignment Alternatives to be reasonable and feasible, the proposed system must go to
the Hilltop area from the Norfolk Southern Rail Road(NSRR)Alignment. The area where 1-264, Virginia
Beach Boulevard, Laskin Road and the NSRR Alignment converge is a challenging area for any new
transportation alignment. This area is in APZ-1 and APZ- 2, which limits how and where an elevated
structure can be built. Proposed options that meet the physical and development limitations include two
(2) possible alignments along Parker Lane (one along the existing road "at-grade" and one elevated
above the existing road). The third proposed alignment is along London Bridge Road crossing under I-
264. Each of these proposed alignments has pros and cons:
Hilltop Alternative Alignments Under Consideration
• Three options to get to Laskin Road from the former Norfolk
Southern Railroad property near Lynnhaven Parkway
• Parker Lane at-grade,
• Parker Lane bridge,or
• London Bridge Road at-grade
V rg nia Beach Boulevard -'

Any design option must meet the criteria below:
Hilltop Area Alignment Alternatives
• Design Options
• Would require complete reconstruction of Laskin Road including the
removal of the feeder road system.
• Fit within the existing Laskin Road 160 ft right-of-way
• Compatible with the Hilltop SGA Master Plan
• Include areas for multi-use path and enhanced landscaping
• Four Design Options Under Review
• Center/Median Running
• Side Running—North side of Laskin
• Side Running—South side of Laskin
• Side Running—Split on North and South sides of Laskin
February 19, 2013

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS
HILLTOP LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
INITIAL FINDINGS
(Continued)
The Laskin Road "Median Running"design option offers fewer conflicts with existing traffic operations,
as well as fewer lanes of traffic for pedestrians to cross to reach a station. However, most of the storm
drainage would have to be relocated:

The "Side Running"design option will also require a large number of public utilities to be relocated plus
a number of driveway entrances that could create safety issues and impact the amount of property
acquisition:

Below are some benefits of the program:
VIRGINIA STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Benefits
•Allow developers and citizens to obtain permits and deal only with
local inspectors,rather than a combination of state and local officials
• Having the city review,permit and inspect should decrease the
amount of time and confusion for developers and citizens who
currently deal with both the city and state programs.
•City can consistently enforce compliance and deal with violations
without reliance upon scarce state resources.
•New regulations will be more protective of water quality and quantity
•Helping to achieve the Chesapeake Bay TMDL requirements
•Help protect the other watersheds(Atlantic Ocean,North
Landing River,Owl's Creek,Back Bay)
•Reduce the impact to the city's stormwater infrastructure.

.�..;, _...... . .. .
VIRGINIA STORM WATATERI.
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
• Still dealing with pending legislation/or new legislation next session
• DCR responsibilities may move to DEQ
• DCR still formulating training and certification programs
• DCR still creating its e-permitting system
• Department of Conservation and Recreation(DCR)developed a model
ordinance based upon the new state law and regulations.
• In the model ordinance there are mandatory provisions--that the
City has no option but to adopt.
• But there are also optional provisions which the City can consider
changing.

• This initial ordinance DRAFT includes alternatives that are more
restrictive than required,however these drafts will be subject to
citizen input over the next year
• This possible course of action was based on concern for the
Chesapeake Bay TMDL requirements and other waterways,including
Owl's Creek,the Atlantic Ocean Resort Area and Back Bay
• This is only a DRAFT and will be subject to extensive vetting by
numerous stakeholders before it comes to City Council to be adopted

MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Alternative to Land Disturbing Area Threshold
• Mandated
• Any land disturbance,including single-family,in the Chesapeake
Bay Watershed that disturbs more than 2500 s.f.would require a
permit
• In all other watersheds land disturbance exceeding 1 Ac would
require a permit
• Alternative
• Any land disturbance,including single-family in ALL watersheds
that disturbs more than 2500 s.f.would require a permit
• This will increase stormwater quality in areas otherwise
unprotected
• Increase the number of building sites that require VSMP permits

Below are alternatives for Bonds and Maintenance Agreements:
VIRGINIA STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Alternatives for Bonds and Maintenance Agreements
• Mandated
• There is no requirement for a performance bond or a stormwater
maintenance agreement for single family residential
• An enforceable mechanism for future maintenance is required.
•Alternative
•Require single-family residential lots to post a performance bond
and provide for maintenance of any stormwater facility with a
recorded maintenance agreement.
•These additions to the requirements will be more costly for single
family residential development,but will provide greater assurance
of performance without additional public cost.

Relevant Information
• A Conditional Rezoning of the site from Rv-15 to R-7.5
was approved by the City Council on November 25,
2008,and was subsequently modified on January 24,
2012.
• Proffer 9 of the Rezoning requires the installation of
brick monument-style entry signs for the neighboring
Newcastle subdivision.
• The applicant is requesting that this proffer is
deleted, because the Newcastle subdivision is not
able to provide certification of`liability insurance that
is required by the City of Virginia Beach.
• Without the liability insurance,the new entrance
signs cannot be built,as the signs would be within
public rights-of-way.
• The Newcastle community is in agreement with the
deletion of this proffer.

Relevant Information
• The applicant currently has a total of 4
Pomeranians. She desires to add three adult
Labradors, bringing the total to seven dogs.
• Section 223 of the Zoning Ordinance,which
regulates this type of activity, requires that the
area of a parcel used as a residential kennel be
located 100 feet or more from the property line
of any adjacent lot,unless the animals are kept
in soundproof,air-conditioned buildings.
• In this case, due to the small size of the lot and
its confi uration,the widest point of the lot(at
the front is 91 feet.'Staff finds that this does not
allow adequate space for the dogs. Moreover,
there is no proposal to construct a soundproof,
air-conditioned kennel for the dogs.
