ITEM: An Ordinance Granting One Franchise Agreement for an Open Air Café in the

successfully operated during the initial one-year term, the franchisee may return to
Council upon the expiration of the one-year term and request a five-year franchise
agreement.
• Considerations: Moliar Liquid Assets 2, LLC, t/a Repeal Bourbon & Burgers
Café, is seeking a one-year franchise agreement for the operation of an Atlantic Avenue
side street café at 202 22nd Street.

and through federal lands for visitors, recreationists, and resource users. In November
2013, the Departments of Parks and Recreation and Public Works submitted a grant

the City received notification of the grant approval and the FLAP program will provide
the City with $906,662. Funds are available on a reimbursement basis with Parks and
Recreation providing the local match requirement of $226,666 from CIP #4-064 City
Bikeways & Trails Plan Implementation II.
• Considerations: The Shore Drive Bike Facility Project's scope includes
inserting 4-foot to 5-foot paved shoulders along Shore Drive, which will provide a
continuous paved area along the road for bicycle travel. The project is approximately
3.5 miles extending from Diamond Springs Road to Greenwell Road. Construction of
the shoulder will be within the existing right-of-way. The total project cost estimate is
$2.2 million. This Shore Drive project is partially funded with $1.1 million in existing
appropriations within CIP #2-300 Traffic Safety Improvements. Accepting and
appropriating this grant revenue and transferring the local match into CIP #2-300 Traffic
Safety Improvements will fully fund the Project.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: OCEANA SOUTH COMMERCE CENTER (Applicant & Owner), Variance to
Section 4.4(d) of the Subdivision Variance (creation of a new lot with no
direct access to a public right-of-way), 2509 Squadron Court (GPIN
1495783545). COUNCIL DISTRICT— ROSE HALL.
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2015
• Background:
The applicant owns a 4.4-acre lot that is zoned Conditional 1-2 Industrial. In 2005,
a site plan was approved for the construction of two condominium office-
warehouse buildings. One of the buildings was constructed in 2007, and divided
into 13 condominium units. The second building was never constructed, as the
applicant has not sold all of the units in the first building. It is the intent of the
applicant to subdivide the existing lot, creating a second lot of 1.8 acres from the
area where the second building was to be constructed.
• Considerations:
The second lot, designated as "33B" on the submitted subdivision plan, will be
located behind (to the east) of the existing building. Due to the location of an
existing stormwater management facility (wet pond), a `stem' extending from the
main portion of the proposed lot to Squadron Court is infeasible. As a result,
since `Proposed Lot 33B' has no frontage on the public right-of-way as required
by Section 4.4(d) of the Subdivision Regulations. The applicant, therefore, is
requesting approval of a variance to that section.
Further details pertaining to this request, including Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached staff report.
There was no opposition to the request.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 10-0-1, to recommend approval of this request to
the City Council with the following condition:
The property shall be subdivided substantially as shown on the submitted
plan, titled "Oceana South Industrial Park, Lot 33, Subdivision of Residual
Parcel B1 — Preliminary Subdivision Plat," prepared by JMT, and dated
3/23/15.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Existing Lot: The existing lot is 4.4 acres and is zoned Conditional 1-2 Industrial. A site plan was
approved in 2005 for the construction of two condominium office-warehouse buildings. One of the
buildings was constructed in 2007; the building was divided into 13 condominium units. The second
building was never constructed, as the applicant has not sold all of the units in the first building.
Proposed Lot: It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide the existing lot, creating a second lot of 1.8
acres from the area where the second building was to be constructed. The second lot, designated as
"33B" on the submitted subdivision plan, will be located behind (to the east)of the existing building. Due
to the location of an existing stormwater management facility(wet pond), a 'stem' extending from the
main portion of the proposed lot to Squadron Court is infeasible.As a result, since 'Proposed Lot 33B'
has no frontage on the public right-of-way as required by Section 4.4(d) of the Subdivision Regulations.
The applicant, therefore, is requesting approval of a variance to that section.

LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Office-warehouse units (condominium ownership)on the western portion of the
site; the eastern portion of the site is undeveloped.
SURROUNDING LAND North: • Office-warehouse/Conditional 1-2 Industrial District
USE AND ZONING: South: • Office-warehouse/Conditional 1-2 Industrial District
East: • Vacant undeveloped land/Conditional 1-2 Industrial District
West: • Office-warehouse/Conditional 1-2 Industrial District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND There are no significant natural resources or cultural features
CULTURAL FEATURES: located on this site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Special
Economic Growth Area(SEGA)2—West Oceana. SEGA 2 is generally bound by London Bridge Road,
Lynnhaven Creek, South Lynnhaven Road, and Potter's Road. It includes Lynnhaven Mall, surrounding
retail and office complexes and Oceana West Industrial Park. Much of this area is subject to Navy
restrictive easements and all of this area is inside the AICUZ high noise zone.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
WATER: The existing lot is connected to the City water system. The existing 1.5-inch meter servicing Lot
33 may remain and continue to serve Lot 33A. City water will not front Proposed Lot 33B. A new water line
and meter will need to be installed to service Lot 33B. A 10-foot wide private water line easement will be
established on Lot 33A for the benefit of Proposed Lot 33B.
SEWER: This existing lot is already connected to the City sanitary sewer system, and the system will
continue to serve the new Lot 33A. City sewer will not front Proposed Lot 33B. A variance to allow shared
private sanitary sewer services between two separately platted lots was approved for this site on
December 17, 2014. A 10-foot wide private sewer easement will be established on Lot 33A for the benefit
of Proposed Lot 33B.
Sewer and pump station analysis for Pump Station #583 is required to determine if future flows can be
accommodated.
• •
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states:
OCEANA SOUTH COMMERCE'ENTER, L:PageL C
Agenda Item 8
2
No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably
practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the
ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions
and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by
the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-
inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is
located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance.
4 •
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant desires to create a second lot from the portion of a lot where a second building would have
been constructed based on a site plan approved in 2005. The applicant has been discussing this proposal
to subdivide the lot with the staff of various City departments for several months, and has already secured
approvals for variances to services that will be necessary to market and develop the site—such as
easements for utilities. If this variance is granted, once the new lot is recorded, the applicant will proceed
to market it for uses that are permitted by the Conditional 1-2 zoning of the site, are compatible with the
Greater than 75 dB DNL AICUZ and APZ-1, and are allowed by the Navy's restrictive easements on the
property.
Staff recommends approval of this request with the condition below.
4 .♦
CONDITION
The property shall be subdivided substantially as shown on the submitted plan, titled "Oceana South
Industrial Park, Lot 33, Subdivision of Residual Parcel B1 — Preliminary Subdivision Plat," prepared by
JMT, and dated 3/23/15.
NOTE:Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City
Ordinances. Plans submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan
review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the
Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: DAVID S. and TERESSA A. ITALIANO (Applicants & Owners) Conditional
Use Permit (Bulk Storage Yard), 1417 London Bridge Road (GPIN
1495560786). COUNCIL DISTRICT— ROSE HALL.
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2015
• Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued use of
this 1.09-acre site as a storage yard for landscape materials. The property is
zoned I-1 Light Industrial. Recently, consistent with standard lending practices, a
financial institution requested a Zoning Verification letter from the Zoning Office
of the Planning Department. During the research required as part of that
verification, Staff found that the City has no record of a Conditional Use Permit
ever being granted for bulk storage on the subject site. Once notified of this
finding, the applicant submitted this application.
• Considerations:
Access to the site is currently from London Bridge Road; no new access points
are requested with this application. The site is highly visible from Drakesmile
Road; thus, a vinyl fence supplemented by evergreen shrubs and large canopy
trees will be installed along that frontage.
Further details pertaining to the site improvements as well as the use itself are
provided in the attached staff report.
There was no opposition to the request.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these
conditions, the site shall be developed and maintained substantially in
conformance with the submitted site plan entitled "CONCEPT PLAN,
WHOLESALE LANDSCAPE SUPPLIES BY DAVID ITALIANO", dated
February 11, 2015, and prepared by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers, Ltd.

2. Vehicular access to the facility shall be only from the existing access
point on London Bridge Road, as shown on the concept plan referenced
in Condition 1. The entrance shall be improved as depicted in the
submitted concept plan referenced in Condition 1 above.
3. Plants shall be installed in the area between the right-of-way of
Drakesmile Road and the vinyl fence as follows:
a. Nine (9) large canopy trees evenly spaced with azaleas planted
around the base of each tree; and
b. A row of evergreen shrubs, with a minimum height at planting of
twenty-four inches (24"), between each of the large canopy trees.
4. The site shall be used only for the storage of landscape materials and
equipment associated with the applicant's landscaping business. The use
of the site for the storage of shipping cargo containers, portable self-
storage containers, or any other such storage containers shall not be
permitted, with the exception of the two (2) existing containers used to
store equipment associated with the applicant's landscaping business.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the continued use of the property as a storage
yard for landscape materials. The applicant requested a Zoning Verification letter from the Zoning Office
of the Planning Department. During the research required as part of that verification, Staff found that the
City has no record of a Conditional Use Permit ever being granted for bulk storage on the subject site.
Once notified of this finding, the applicant submitted this application.
Details:
Proposed improvements to the site include the installation of a four-foot high, vinyl fence adjacent to
Drakesmile Road, supplemented with a row of evergreen shrubs and large canopy trees along the
outside of the fence.A chain-link fence separates the existing storage yard from the adjacent parcels to
the north and east. The applicant requests a deviation from the required Category VI screening, as
allowed by Section 221(i)of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow the chain-link fence to remain.
Access to the site is currently from London Bridge Road; no new access points are requested with this
application. The existing entrance into the facility is composed of a crushed gravel surface. The submitted
DAVID S. & TERESSA A. ITALIANO
Agenda Item 3
Page 1
site plan shows that the area of the entrance between the paved portion of London Bridge Road and the
property line will ultimately be paved. Access to the storage yard will be controlled by a gate that is set
back approximately 75 feet from London Bridge Road.

LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Bulk storage yard for landscape material
SURROUNDING LAND North: • London Bridge Road
USE AND ZONING: • Mulch processing facility/AG-2 Agricultural District
South: • Undeveloped wooded area & mini-warehouse facility/
Conditional I-1 Industrial District
East: • Undeveloped wooded area & mini-warehouse facility/ 1-1
Industrial District
West: • Drakesmile Road
• Veterinary Office and Kennel/AG-2 Agricultural District& I-
1 Industrial District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is undeveloped, and the ground cover primarily consists of
CULTURAL FEATURES: a gravel surface. The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay
Watershed. There do not appear to be any significant cultural
features associated with the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being located within the
Suburban Area and within Special Economic Growth Area 3(SEGA 3), South Oceana. Strategic Growth
Area 3 is located in close proximity to Naval Air Station Oceana and has significant economic value and
growth potential, targeting land uses that are compatible with military operations. The City supports
development and redevelopment in these areas that is consistent with the AICUZ provisions as set forth in
Article 18 of the Zoning Ordinance and the City's economic growth strategy(pp. 3-5).
Strategic Economic Growth Area 3 is a large hourglass shaped tract of land encompassing properties on
both sides of Dam Neck Road between Holland Road and Corporate Landing Parkway. In the western
portion, between Drakesmile Road and Holland Road, there are considerable environmental constraints.
Portions of this area are also impacted by high noise zones, accident potential zones and restrictive
easements from the United States Department of the Navy. In this area, the Comprehensive Plan calls for
non-residential, light industrial uses.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for a bulk storage facility. The property has been used in this
capacity for many years, and the changes to the site proposed with this application are, in Staffs opinion
welcome improvements. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for the
Suburban Area, and more specifically with the Special Economic Growth Area 3, South Oceana.
Additionally, bulk storage use is consistent with the industrial character of the surrounding area and is
compatible with the mulch processing facility to the north and mini-warehouse facility to south.
The site is extremely visible from Drakesmile Road. The proposed installation of a four-foot vinyl fence
and the planting of shrubs and trees between the fence and the Drakesmile Road right-of-way will greatly
improve the aesthetics of the site.
Section 228 of the City Zoning Ordinance requires that a bulk storage yard be screened with Category VI
landscaping, which includes a solid fence, not less than six feet in height, with plants along the exterior of
the fence. The submitted site plan shows chain-link fencing along the north and east sides of the storage
yard, which does not meet the Category VI requirement. The applicant is requesting that this deficiency
be addressed through the provisions of Section 221 (i)of the Zoning Ordinance, which allows City
Council to grant deviations from required setbacks, landscaping, height, lot area requirements, and lot
coverage. The City Council may allow such deviations"for good cause shown upon a finding that there
will be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties." Staff concludes that use of a chain-
link fence in the locations depicted on the site plan in lieu of the required Category VI landscape
screening will not adversely impact the adjacent properties, especially given the industrial use of those
properties.
Staff finds that the proposed site improvements are welcome aesthetic upgrades to a site that has been
used as a highly visible storage yard for many years. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow redevelopment of the site for motor vehicle
rentals. A car wash is currently located on the site and has been in operation for many years. As the site
is within the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area(SGA), the applicant met with Staff to discuss consistency and
design details related to the goals and vision of the Hilltop SGA Plan. The property is also located in
Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1)of NAS Oceana. The APZ-1/CZ Master Plan, adopted in 2008 as an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, provides general land use policy guidance regarding the future
use of properties in the APZ-1 and Clear Zone areas. The APZ-1/CZ Master Plan's "General Land Use
WILLIAM FELTS
Agenda Item 5
Page 1
Plan"designates this property for compatible, non-residential uses (p. 30), which includes "automotive"
uses(p. 22).
Details
The redevelopment of the 0.687-acre parcel includes removing the existing structure and constructing a
1,400 square foot building with parking and rental car storage. The proposed building will contain office
space as well as one car wash bay. According to the application, normal operating hours will be 8:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and there will be limited operating hours during the weekends. The
motor vehicle rental business will employ up to four people.

LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Car wash
SURROUNDING LAND North: • Laskin Road
USE AND ZONING: • Shopping center/B-2 Community Business District
South: • Self-storage/B-2 Community Business District
East: • Auto repair/B-2 Community Business District
West: • Auto sales &service / B-2 Community Business District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The property is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As the
CULTURAL FEATURES: site is developed with a car wash and is almost entirely impervious,
there does not appear to be any significant environmental or cultural
resources present.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This property is located in the Hilltop Strategic Growth Area, as identified by
the Comprehensive Plan and the Hilltop SGA Master Plan. On August 28, 2012, the Hilltop SGA Master
Plan was adopted as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The SGA Plan recommends non-
residential mixed use development for this site with uses that are deemed compatible with their AICUZ
designation(p. 13, Hilltop SGA Plan).
The 'Special Area Development Guidelines- Urban Areas' address various site and architectural design
elements. These guidelines should be followed closely for any new development in an SGA. The directives
most applicable to this proposal address parking placement, access and circulation(pp. B-1 to B-2):
• Individual businesses need to be linked to the street, to the sidewalk, to bus stops, to
neighborhoods and each other.
• Parking areas should not dominate the frontage of streets. Off-street parking areas should be
located behind buildings or in the interior of a block whenever possible.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
WILLIAM FELTS
Agenda Item 5
Page 2
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP)/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Laskin
Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a four-lane, divided, major urban arterial. In addition to
the existing four-lane section of road, there are two, two-lane local access roads parallel to the mainline
portion of roadway: one on the south side and one on the north side of Laskin Road. The existing
infrastructure currently exists within a 160-foot right-of-way. The MTP proposes a six-lane facility within a
165-foot right-of-way. Currently, this segment of roadway is functioning over-capacity at a Level of Service
E.
There is a Roadway CIP project programmed for this area: Laskin Road—Phase I (CIP 2-156). It calls for
the construction of an eight-lane, divided highway in a 160-foot right-of-way from Republic Road to
Winwood Drive and a six-lane, divided highway in a 150-foot right-of-way from Winwood Drive to Oriole
Drive with multi-use path and sidewalk. These limits include the intersections at First Colonial Road and at
Birdneck Road. Right-of-way acquisition is complete; however, construction is being delayed beyond 2019
due to lack of construction funding.
TRAFFIC:

Laskin Road 29,392 ADT ' 17,300 ADT '(LOS 4"C") Existing Land Use 2— 1,080 ADT
31,700 ADT ' (LOS 4"E") Proposed Land Use 3—47 ADT
I Average Daily Trips
2 as defined by the existing self-service car wash
3 as defined by proposed motor vehicle rental
4 LOS=Level of Service
WATER: This site is already connected to City water. There is an existing 5/8-inch meter that may be used
or upgraded to accommodate the proposed redevelopment. There is an existing 16-inch City water main
and a 36-inch City water transmission main along Laskin Road.
SEWER: This site is already connected to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station#261 and the
sanitary sewer collection system may be required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. There is
an existing 10-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main and a 42-inch HRSD sanitary sewer force main along
Laskin Road.
Water and sanitary sewer service must be verified and improved, if necessary, so the new building will
have adequate water pressure, fire protection, and sanitary sewer service.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant and Staff met for a predesign meeting prior to the submission of the application. The
applicant was amenable to suggested changes to the original site layout. While recent amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance allow the building to be closer to the street than depicted on the submitted plan, the
relocation of the building from the center of the property, as the car wash is currently, to the 35-foot front
yard setback is acceptable and is consistent with the placement of buildings in the surrounding areas.
WILLIAM FELTS
Agenda Item 5
Page 3
Another important design alteration was the relocation of the parking areas. As depicted on the plan, and
as recommended by both the SGA Plan and the Design Guidelines, there will be no parking areas or
drive aisles between the building and the street. Interior sidewalks shown on the plan provide good
connectivity to the building, the street, and the parking lot. Staff is recommending as a condition of
approval that a minimum five-foot wide sidewalk be installed along Laskin Road, consistent with the
Design Guidelines' recommendations. A right-of-way dedication may be required during site plan review
to accommodate the sidewalk; this will be reviewed in more detail at that time. Consistent with the
Guidelines, Staff also recommends that high quality crosswalks(pavers, stamped concrete with infused
color, or other durable material that differentiates from the driveway and parking lot material) be installed
across the driveway entrance, and that a connection be provided from the handicapped space to the
building's entrance.
Although no plants are depicted on the submitted plan, the vegetation required with the redevelopment of
the property will greatly improve the site's aesthetics. In Staffs opinion, the proposed design of the
building will create interesting facades on the three sides of the building visible from Laskin Road.
Automobile-oriented uses are typically discouraged in the Strategic Growth Areas; however, this site is
located in the APZ-1 and in the Greater than 75 AICUZ. As set forth in Article 18 of the City Zoning
Ordinance, automotive-related uses are one of the few compatible uses in the heavily impacted AICUZ
areas. Further, the applicant has designed the site well, largely adhering to the applicable Design
Guidelines regarding building and parking lot placement and connectivity to the street. The design
principles found in the Comprehensive Plan's 'Special Area Development Guidelines—Urban Areas,'
when implemented, are tailored to ensure projects contribute to improving the quality of the city's physical
environment and overall quality of life. It is Staffs conclusion that the project meets the majority of these
Guidelines, particularly with regard to those summarized below. Overall, this is an acceptable
redevelopment plan for this site given its land use compatibility restrictions, and Staff recommends
approval, subject to the conditions that follow on the next page.
Special Area Development Guidelines—Urban Areas
Site Design:
Setbacks and Building Location—This Guideline recommends that buildings be located close to the
pedestrian street with off-street parking behind or beside buildings. The project meets this Guideline as
there are no parking areas or drive aisles proposed between the building and the street.
Access and Circulation—To increase the ease and pleasure of walking and decrease motor vehicle
use, individual businesses should be linked to the street and sidewalk with pedestrian connections. The
interior sidewalks shown on the plan provide good connectivity to the building, the street, and the parking
lot. Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that a minimum five-foot wide sidewalk be installed
along Laskin Road to fully address this Guideline.
Parking Areas—Consistent with the Guideline and as noted above, the off-street parking is located next
to and behind the building so that the parking lot does not dominate the Laskin Road frontage.
Landscaping—Currently, there is very little vegetation on the site. Quality landscaping, whether it
includes plants,fencing, plazas, etc., is the core principle of this Guideline. The required plantings to meet
current City standards will provide screening and overall improved aesthetics for the property and will
bring the site into conformance with this Guideline.
WILLIAM FELTS
Agenda Item 5
Page 4
Stormwater Management as Landscaping Feature—The preliminary stormwater strategy for the
redevelopment of this site includes underground storage. Unfortunately, this takes away the opportunity
for retention systems to be incorporated into the open space and landscape amenity design.
Lighting—Staff has recommended a condition that a Lighting Plan be submitted during final site plan
review in order to meet this Guideline.
Signs—No information regarding the freestanding sign was submitted with this application. Staff is
recommending a condition below to meet this Guideline with regard to materials, colors, and height.
BUILDING DESIGN &STREET DESIGN:
The Building Design and Street Design Guidelines were developed for multi-story buildings along an
urban street.While the site is located in the Hilltop SGA, an SGA with an ultimate small scale urban
vision, the market has yet to exist for non-residential, higher performing developments that are deemed
compatible with the AICUZ designation. Based on this, the proposal has not been evaluated for
consistency with these Guidelines.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution authorizing a limited waiver of the height restriction on property
located on South Lynnhaven Road (GPIN 1496-27-7044), consisting of
approximately 3.14 acres.
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2015
• Background: JLB Property Associates, LLC ("JLB") is the owner of a vacant
parcel of land, consisting of 3.14 acres, located on South Lynnhaven Road
known as GPIN: 1496-27-7044 (the "Property"). The Property is subject to a
height restriction pursuant to a Total Site Agreement dated December 8, 1978,
that states no building, structure or other improvement exceeding twenty (20')
feet in height may be permitted in a 200' by 200' area of the Property. Happy
Boxes Lynnhaven, L.L.C. ("Happy Boxes") wishes to construct a self-storage
facility on the Property that would exceed the height restriction.
While the City was not a party to the initial agreement, the title company for JLB
requires that the City sign off on the waiver of the height restriction, along with
other adjacent property owners, because the City owns property used for
stormwater ponds (GPINs: 1496-26-7683, 1496-46-8646 and 1496-45-9226) and
the Lynnhaven Mall Ring Road, which were acquired from one of the parties to
the Agreement.
Happy Boxes has asked the City to join in waiving the height restriction for the
Property in order to construct its building. All other restrictions affecting the
Property will remain in full force and effect.
• Considerations: The waiver of the height restriction on the Property will not
affect the City's operation and maintenance of the stormwater ponds or the Ring
Road. The existing height restriction is unrelated to the Navy/City AICUZ
Program and has no impact on those program provisions.
Happy Boxes has applied for a conditional use permit for the development, which
will be handled by a separate item on the City Council agenda.
• Public Information: Advertisement of City Council Agenda.
• Alternatives: Deny the request.
• Recommendations: Approval

23 46-8646 and 1496-45-9226) and the Lynnhaven Mall Ring Road, a public right-of-way.

27 WHEREAS, all other restrictions affecting the Property will remain in full

HAPPY BOXES LYNNHAVEN, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 9
Page 1
Proposal
The proposed structure will be three stories and 108,000 square feet in area. The building will have a
36,000 square-foot footprint, and be situated approximately 15 feet from the east lot line and 10 feet from
the south lot line. To the west of the building will be a recessed loading area which will have two
cantilevered loading canopies.
The exterior of the building is designed similarly to a large-scale office building. The northwest corner will
have a three-story glass façade to clearly direct customers to the front desk area. The remaining façade
area is designed with horizontal banding and recessed and projected planes to break up the mass of the
building.While the center of the western façade steps back 59 feet to accommodate an outdoor loading
area, no exterior garage doors are proposed. All storage units are climate controlled and accessed from
the interior of the building.
Vehicular ingress and egress from South Lynnhaven Road is proposed in the southwest corner of the
site. Vehicles will also be able to access the site from the north, by turning into the shopping center
entrance Braves Trail and continuing to the south through the existing adjacent parking lot. Eleven
parking spaces will be provided between the building and the existing berm; said parking spaces will be
screened from South Lynnhaven Road with landscaping.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The subject site is zoned B-2 Community Business District, the proposed use of an interior self-storage
facility requires a Conditional Use Permit for Mini-Warehouse. Further, the use of Warehouse and
Storage is an allowed use within the subject noise zone of Greater than 75 dB DNL.
The proposed use of the site is compatible with the surrounding development and existing uses. The
scale of the building is consistent with large commercial uses allowed in the B-2 District. To reflect the
retail use of the adjacent shopping center, the design of the building incorporates a large glass entrance
and covered pedestrian entrances, and avoids the use of garage doors.
The proposed parking spaces are screened with landscaping from South Lynnhaven Road. Considering
that the recessed loading area will operate very similarly to a parking lot, it is staffs recommendation that
the proposed landscape screening should extend to the proposed vehicular entrance to the south such
that the recessed loading area is also screened from South Lynnhaven Road. This recommendation is
also supported by the Comprehensive Plan.
Although the proposed use does not generate enough vehicular traffic to warrant a left turn lane on South
Lynnhaven Road, the applicant has called out a "PROPOSED STRIPED LEFT TURN AREA."This area is
currently the gored-out residual from creating the left-turn lane to Brookwood Elementary and does not
appear large enough to contain a turn lane. To use the proposed left turn area, the applicant's consultant
must show how an acceptable storage and taper length can be striped in this area during site plan review.
For the reasons above, as well as the consistency of the proposal with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff
recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH (Applicant), MILLARD F. REID,
CHARLES FREDERICK REID, JACQUELINE S. PRATT (Owner), Conditional
Use Permit (Expansion of a Religious Facility [church]), 2804 Holland Road
and 2821 Bald Eagle Road (GPINs 1495500072, 1494590830, 1494496474,
1494498418, 1494497641, & 1494497720). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS
ANNE.
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2015
• Background:
Piney Grove Church was first established near the subject site in 1870 in a log
cabin on one acre of ground. As membership grew over the years, new church
buildings were constructed and the existing structure is the fourth Piney Grove
Baptist Church. The church has outgrown the capacity of the existing 420 seat
sanctuary and the 62 on-site, paved parking spaces. There is a nonconforming
gravel parking area across Holland Road that can hold approximately 80
vehicles. Trained crossing guards direct traffic flow and assist pedestrians across
Holland Road when this lot is used. During some church services, parking also
overflows onto the public streets in the adjoining residential neighborhood to the
east.
Piney Grove Church recently purchased an additional 1.656 acres of property on
the north side of the church building and desires to expand in order to
comfortably accommodate membership and allow for moderate growth. This is a
request to construct a church addition consisting of a 14,000 square foot
sanctuary with 835 seats, 3,050 square feet of offices, a conference room and a
reception area. Additional on-site parking is also proposed.
Considerations:
This Conditional Use Permit for an expansion was originally submitted by the
church approximately one year ago and the church, City staff, and the
neighborhood have been working to resolve issues, resulting in an improved
proposal. At their June 10, 2015 public hearing, the Planning Commission was
presented with a plan that showed the single-family dwelling owned by the
church at 2821 Bald Eagle Road remaining in place. The church agreed to keep
the dwelling and rent it for single-family use at the request of the neighborhood,
which desired to retain residential use along Bald Eagle Road. This June 10th
plan provided 181 parking spaces on the church site.
I II
PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH
Page 2 of 8
The Planning Commission heard concerns from the adjoining neighborhood
regarding church parking on the public streets and they heard from the City
Traffic Engineer regarding safety issues generated by church attendees parking
in the overflow lot on the west side of Holland Road. Holland Road is currently
being upgraded to a 4-lane divided highway with a 45 mph speed limit at this
location.
After much deliberation, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
request by a vote of 10-1, subject to the dwelling at 2821 Bald Eagle Drive being
removed, that the area be improved for additional church parking and screened
with landscaping acceptable to the Planning Director. The Planning Commission
requested that the church provide a new site plan prior to the City Council public
hearing showing these changes. A revised site plan (`July 14th Plan') has been
submitted that differs from the June 10th Plan (located on page 9 of the attached
staff report) in the following ways:
• The July 14th Plan has 250 parking spaces, 69 more spaces than the June
10th Plan.
• The July 14th Plan increases the buffer along the northern and southern lot
lines adjacent to residential use to 15' and clarifies that Category IV
landscape plant material will be installed. The June 10th Plan had a 10'
wide buffer at these locations. Landscape material will consist of a
continuous evergreen hedge combined with deciduous trees.
• The July 14th Plan includes a detailed landscape exhibit for the Bald Eagle
Road frontage. A high quality 6' fence of treated wood is shown with a
minimum 20' setback from the Bald Eagle Drive right-of-way. The variety
of landscaping shown on the exterior of the fence, including large
evergreen shrubs, flowering ornamental trees and flowering perennials,
should provide an attractive screening buffer. The June 10th plan retained
the existing dwelling along Bald Eagle Drive.
• The July 14th Plan notes that the parking area along Bald Eagle Drive may
consist of optional permeable paving. This alternative is under
consideration by the church because some neighbors expressed a desire
to see asphalt surface minimized. The cost of such an alternative is still
being researched by the church.
• The dumpster has been moved to a location directly behind the church
building.
• A maintenance gate is shown on the July 14th Plan in the fence along Bald
Eagle Drive. Such a maintenance gate is required for a through lot by
Section 201(e)5 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The June 10th Plan showed
a fence with no connection to Bald Eagle Drive.
Further details pertaining to the site and building designs, as well as Staff's
evaluation of the request, are provided in the attached staff report.
There was opposition to the request.

• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the revised site plan (July
14th Plan) by a recorded vote of 10 -1 subject to the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed substantially in conformance with the site plan
revised for the July 14, 2015 City Council meeting entitled, "Exhibit for Piney
Grove Baptist Church, Virginia Beach, VA" by Site Improvement Associates,
Inc., dated 4-17-15, with revisions dated 6-17-15. This plan shows 250 on-site
parking spaces.
2. Landscape buffering and fencing along Bald Eagle Road shall substantially
adhere to the submitted plan entitled, "Exhibit Showing Landscape for Piney
Grove Baptist Church, Sheets 1 and 2 by Site Improvement Associates, dated
June 26, 2015. Two changes to the plan are required. First, Aucuba or Camillia
must be substituted for Heavenly Bamboo, which is an unacceptable invasive
species. Second, the Chindo Viburnum must have a minimum height of 36" at
installation, rather than 24" as shown.
3. The proposed church addition shall substantially adhere to the submitted
architectural elevations entitled "Piney Grove Baptist Church," by Architectural
Innovations.
4. A landscaped buffer with Category IV landscape screening is required between
the church and adjacent residential uses as shown on the submitted site plan.
No structures of any kind are permitted within this buffer area, except fences as
shown on the plan.
5. The church shall provide positive drainage throughout the site such that all
drainage does not impact adjoining residential lots to the east or north.
6. New mechanical equipment, including but not limited to, heating and cooling
equipment and generators, shall not be located within 100' of an adjacent
residential lot line. All mechanical equipment must be screened from ground
level view.
7. The dumpster shall be screened and located as shown on the submitted site
plan.
8. All lighting on the site shall be directed downward and not spill over onto
adjoining residential lots.
9. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the additions, the church will work with
the Zoning Administrator and Traffic Engineering to develop a plan to divert
church traffic to the overflow lot across Holland Road when the on-site parking
is full. The plan will provide for any signs needed to be fabricated in advance
and an implementation strategy to include shuttle service across Holland Road.
This plan shall be activated when construction of the addition commences.
PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH
Page 4 of 8
10. After a Building Permit has been issued for construction, the church will provide
shuttle service across Holland Road whenever the parking lot on the west side
of Holland Road is used.
11. After a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for the new sanctuary, if more
than 40 vehicles are parked on Bald Eagle Drive, Chestwood Drive or other
neighborhood streets for three or more Sunday mornings in succession,
excluding holiday services, the Church will work with the Zoning Administrator to
minimize such off-site parking. Changes to church operations may include, but
not be limited to the following:
• Holding the first Sunday morning service at a later hour so more
members will attend
• Adding a service on a weeknight
• Remote parking
• Valet parking
• Carpooling
• Bus/van shuttle service
12. At no time shall both the new 835 seat sanctuary and the existing 420 seat
sanctuary be used for services simultaneously. It is the intent of the church to
repurpose the existing 420 seat sanctuary into classrooms and offices when
funds are available.
13. The temporary structure currently housing the Day Watch program may be
moved to the north side of the main church property and used until the
expansion construction work has been completed. The portable building shall be
removed from the site when construction is finished.
14. Interior property lines must be vacated and a no ingress/egress vehicular
easement established along the Bald Eagle Road frontage prior to issuance of a
building permit for the additions.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background
Piney Grove Church was first established near the subject site in 1870 on one acre of ground. As
membership grew over the years, new church buildings were constructed and the existing structure is the
fourth Piney Grove Baptist Church. A Conditional Use Permit was approved on April 11, 1988 for the
existing church on 1.94 acres, and the Use Permit was modified in 2009 to add a portable classroom.
The current church contains a 420-seat sanctuary, classrooms, a kitchen, and offices. Sunday services
are held at 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. There are currently 62 paved parking spaces on the church site and
a nonconforming gravel parking area across Holland Road that the church estimates can hold 80
vehicles. Trained crossing guards direct traffic flow and assist pedestrians across Holland Road on
Sunday mornings.
Piney Grove Baptist Church has outgrown the capacity of the sanctuary and the existing on-site parking.
When cars cannot be accommodated on the church site, members park across Holland Road and on
neighborhood streets. Piney Grove Baptist recently purchased an additional 1.656 acres of property on
PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH
Agenda Item 10
Page 1
the north side of the church building and desires to expand in order to comfortably accommodate
membership and allow for moderate growth.
Details
Piney Grove Baptist Church is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of an addition
consisting of a 14,000 square foot sanctuary with 835 seats and 3,050 square feet of offices, a
conference room and reception area. It is the intent of the church to repurpose the existing 420-seat
sanctuary into classrooms and offices when funds are available. The church anticipates this being in
approximately five to ten years.
The proposed sanctuary will be 27'4"in height and will contain two floors of stadium-style seating.The front
elevation of the proposed sanctuary is symmetrical in design and features a large glass entrance to serve
as the focal point of the building and clearly identify the entrance. Exterior materials will include a mixture
of ground and glazed-faced stone and cementious horizontal siding. Said materials are consistent with the
existing church.
The submitted site plan shows that a total of 181 on-site parking spaces will be provided. The City Zoning
Ordinance requires a minimum of 167 spaces for the proposed 835 seat sanctuary. The church will also
maintain the nonconforming gravel parking lot across Holland Road with room to park an estimated 80
vehicles. The church indicates that this overflow parking lot will only be needed on special occasions such
as Christmas, Easter and Mother's Day services.
In addition, the site plan includes the following features:
• A 10-foot landscaped buffer with continuous vegetative evergreen plant material along the
western and northern property lines where the site abuts residential uses.
• An enclosed dumpster area with landscaped screening located at the rear of the site adjacent to
2821 Bald Eagle, which is a dwelling owned by the church.
• Positive drainage is shown throughout the site so that stormwater will not drain towards existing
adjacent homes.
• The dwelling owned by the church at 2821 Bald Eagle Drive will remain in residential use. A six-
foot fence is shown between the dwelling and the property that will be used for church parking.
The church is proposing the installation of this fence to alleviate neighborhood concerns that the
dwelling will be used for church activities. It is the church's intent to rent the home as a single-
family dwelling.
• A new vehicular entrance will be added on Chestwood Drive as far from the intersection with
Holland Road as possible. 'No Parking' signs will be placed along Chestwood Drive to ensure
good traffic flow and visibility.

LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: The east side of Holland Road contains the church building approved in 1988, a
temporary modular building and 62 paved parking spaces. On the west side of Holland Road is a
nonconforming gravel church parking lot and an historic church cemetery.
SURROUNDING LAND North: • Single-family dwellings/ R-7.5 Residential District
USE AND ZONING: South: • Chestwood Drive
• Single-family dwellings/ R-10 Residential District

East: • Single-family dwellings/ R-10 Residential District
• Wooded, undeveloped/AG-1 Agricultural District
West: • Holland Road
• Single-family dwellings/ R-7.5 Residential District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND This vicinity has been the home of the Piney Grove Church since
CULTURAL FEATURES: the early 1870s. The first Piney Grove Church was a log cabin
built on one acre of property. Sunday School was started in 1872.
As membership grew over the years, the church moved from the
west side of Holland Road to the east side where larger church
buildings were constructed. The existing church, dedicated in
1989, is the fourth Piney Grove Church structure in this vicinity.
Some early church members are buried in the historic cemetery on
the west side of Holland Road.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows that this site is located within the Suburban
Area where planning principles call for preserving and protecting the character and stability of residential
neighborhoods. Although this application to expand the existing church is generally consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, the intensity of the expansion with regard to building design, parking and mobility
are significant. The church has worked with the staff and the adjoining neighborhood to minimize traffic
impact and provide landscape buffers.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP)/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): The
Comprehensive Plan's Master Transportation Plan and Major Street Network Ultimate Rights-of-Way
classifies this section of Holland Road as a minor-arterial. This classification calls for a road design with
an ultimate right-of-way width of up to 145 feet to provide four lanes, a shared use path and sidewalk,
landscaped median, and curb and gutter.
This portion of Holland Road is currently being widened to a four-lane suburban minor arterial with CIP
Project 2.158 Holland Road Phase VI. The contractor was notified to proceed with construction on
November 24, 2014. Utility relocation is ongoing, and construction on the roadway began in April 2015.
Holland Road Phase VI is scheduled for completion by October 2017.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Piney Grove Baptist Church is an important Virginia Beach religious institution with strong historic roots at
this location. In recent decades, suburban single-family neighborhoods have developed around the Piney
Grove Church site. Expansion plans include a new sanctuary that will increase seating capacity from 420
to 835. Currently, church parking overflows into the adjoining residential area and expansion plans
generate concern regarding compatibility. The church, staff and neighborhood representatives have been
working together to resolve issues with the following results:
• The 1.656-acre parcel recently purchased by the church has frontage on both Holland Road and
Bald Eagle Road. The property has a single-family dwelling facing Bald Eagle Road with single-
family homes on either side. The plans initially submitted with this application showed the
dwelling being used for church-related activities and future parking. In response to neighborhood
concerns regarding intrusion of such institutional use directly into the neighborhood, the church
has agreed to utilize the home for single-family use only and has shown on the plan a six-foot
high fence and landscaping that will block access between the church and dwelling.
• With the expansion, a continuous ten-foot wide evergreen landscape buffer will be provided
between the church site and all adjoining residential lots. A buffer does not currently exist.
• The rear portion of the church site currently drains toward the adjoining residential lots. The site
will be regraded and positive drainage provided throughout the church site with the expansion.
• All new mechanical equipment will be at least 100' from a residential lot line and screened from
street level view in order to minimize noise impact.
• All onsite lighting will be directed downward and away from adjoining residential uses.
• The dumpster will be screened and located adjacent to the church owned dwelling at 2821 Bald
Eagle Drive.
• The capacity of the new sanctuary was reduced from 1,150 seats to 835 seats.
• The architectural quality of the proposed addition was significantly improved. The original
submittal was for a metal building with little architectural detail.
The primary concern remaining is parking sufficiency and the impact of any overflow parking. Parking and
traffic issues are summarized below:
• Onsite parking will be increased from 62 improved spaces to 181 spaces.While this exceeds the
minimum of 167 parking spaces required by the City Zoning Ordinance for the 835 seat
PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH
Agenda Item 10
Page 4
sanctuary, the Traffic Impact Analysis submitted by the applicant, as well as multiple attendance
and vehicle counts taken by the church, produced an average parking ratio of approximately 1
parking space for every 2.5 attendees.
• The submitted Traffic Impact Analysis(TIA) reports that after traffic stopped entering the church
site on Sunday, September 28, 2014, there were 62 vehicles in the main church parking lot, 69
vehicles in the overflow parking lot, and 49 vehicles that used on-street parking on Chestwood
Drive, Damascus Trail, and Bald Eagle Road. The TIA then states that, "The expansion of the
existing parking area from 62 spaces to 181 spaces should satisfy the parking for the present
attendance."The surrounding neighborhood is concerned that the proposed parking will not be
sufficient once the church experiences growth.
• The nonconforming gravel parking lot across Holland Road will remain, with an estimated
capacity for 80 vehicles. Trained crossing guards will be provided when the overflow lot is used.
With the Holland Road Phase VI improvements, Holland Road will be improved to a four-lane
divided highway with a 45 mile per hour speed limit. The Department of Public Works/Traffic
Engineering is concerned about pedestrians safely crossing four lanes of traffic. The church has
responded to these concerns by agreeing to adjust programming and/or provide off-site shuttle
service if the parking lot on the west side of Holland Road is needed on a regular basis.
• After reviewing the Traffic Impact Analysis provided by the church, the City Traffic Engineer
concludes that traffic flow will not be negatively impacted by the church expansion. Peak traffic
volume for the church occurs on Sunday mornings when all other traffic volumes are low.
• The church currently has two services on Sunday mornings in order to diffuse traffic and better
accommodate attendance. If the impact of church attendance increases following the expansion
to the point where church members are consistently parking on neighborhood streets or on the
west side of Holland Road, the church will alter the service times to better meet parking needs on
the main church site and/or provide off-site parking with shuttle service.
Based on the number of vehicles currently generated by the 420 seat sanctuary, doubling the size of the
church sanctuary to 835 seats generates legitimate concern regarding the number of parking spaces
provided onsite. It is recognized that the church has given up potential onsite parking by amending their
plan and retaining the residential use on Bald Eagle Road. The church has agreed to alter programing
and provide shuttle parking service if parking overflows into the neighborhood and across Holland Road
on a regular basis. Church uses are generally compatible with residential development, and in this
instance the residents and church have worked well together to resolve some difficult issues.
In conclusion, the Planning Department recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions
outlined below which are designed to ensure that the proposed church expansion will be compatible with
the residential neighborhood, will have safe parking for all attendees and will have minimal impact on the
surrounding area. Subject to the recommended conditions and with continued goodwill and cooperation
between the residents and church, the proposed expansion should be a positive addition to the
community with manageable impact.

1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Russo?
2
3 SECRETARY RUSSO: Mr. Chairman, our first hearing is
4 Application Number 10, Piney Grove
5 Baptist Church, for a Conditional Use Permit for the Expansion
6 of a Religious Facility Church on property located at 2804
7 Holland Road and 2821 Bald Eagle Road, District 7, Princess
8 Anne. Our first speaker in support is Mark Ricketts.
9
10 MARK RICKETTS: Mr. Chairman, Members of the
11 Commission, my name is Mark Ricketts.
12 I 'm with the engineering firm of Site Improvement Associates .
13 We represent the owner, the Applicant, Piney Grove Baptist
14 Church. Basically, what I wanted to do was just we talked in
15 the Informal Session this morning about the specific aspects of
16 the application. My job here is to introduce the pastor and the
17 senior deacon so that they can make the presentation from the
18 church' s perspective, but we' re here and the architect, as well,
19 are here to answer any sort of technical questions that you may
20 have about it. So, with that I 'd like to defer to them.
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
23
24 SECRETARY RUSSO: Then our next speaker is Pastor D. L.
25 Williams .
3
1
2 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Good evening to the Committee. First
3 of all, I would like this committee to
4 know that Piney Grove Baptist Church has been a very responsible
5 applicant and we have done all that we can to work with our
6 neighbors in order to get this proposal off the ground.
7 Throughout the process, there are a couple of things that we
8 have valued. One of those things was open and honest
9 communication with our neighbors, as well as a strong
10 willingness to compromise.
11
12 Throughout a few months, we have met with the community on four
13 different occasions . We met with them at large, as well as in a
14 small group setting. The reason we met with the community as
15 much as we did was to give ourselves the opportunity to hear
16 legitimate concerns so that we could address them in a proposal.
17 Once we did that, the proposal we gave you is not the original
18 plan that Piney Grove had for its property, but it became a
19 compromise version. It was jointly put together from community
20 meetings from having healthy dialogues and from intermingling
21 their concerns with our vision to expand.
22
23 Some of those compromises that were made, including us
24 embellishing the buffers to go beyond what is required of us in
25 our buffering with our neighboring residential areas, as well as
4
1 the fencing on our property for 2021 Bald Eagle Road and the
2 strategic positioning even of the dumpster that we ' re going to
3 have proposed on our new project.
4
5 The main issue, however, as you know, is parking. When we first
6 launched this plan, our initial plan after we purchased 2021
7 Bald Eagle Road was to demolish the home and to utilize that as
8 parking. I explained to the community I wanted to take cars out
9 of the community so that we could park all cars on our one
10 central site . After we had the meeting at large, the community
11 voiced a great displeasure for us to tear down the home and to
12 make that parking. The displeasure was basically based upon
13 aesthetics . They didn't want to take away from the beauty of
14 the community.
15
16 So, to compromise, we told them that we would take that off of
17 the table in exchange for their support of our expansion
18 projects . As you can see, we have held to our part of the
19 compromise. So, the parking capacity that we are looking for
20 approval is not initially what the church wanted, but it is
21 rather a result of us compromising in exchange for the community
22 support.
23
24 But now the community is saying to us thank you for compromising
25 and reducing your parking, but now you don' t have enough parking
5
1 for us to feel safe. So, it seems as if the community is kind
2 of putting us in a catch 22 between the beautification of the
3 community and safety. One is a community preference, and, of
4 course, the other one is a need, and they are what I 've seen to
5 be failing to compromise on working with us on both.
6
7 For your information, the 835-seat sanctuary that we are
8 proposing to build, we don' t anticipate filling that sanctuary
9 to 100% capacity for each service. You all know that we have
10 two services now on Sunday, and we are currently only seeing an
11 average of about 610 people between both of those services . So,
12 even if our attendance doubles, we still will have more than
13 enough room to satisfy our demand and it will put our sanctuary
14 at 75% capacity between both of those services .
15
16 Our vision was not to build just enough seating for what we
17 currently have on Sunday morning. Our vision was to build more
18 than enough so that we can have room for growth, as well as have
19 a room for special services such as Mother' s Day, of course,
20 when our attendance really doubles in size, as well as Watch
21 Night Service, New Year' s Eve Service, and some other major
22 church services .
23
24 All of the aforementioned facts that I 've talked about serve to
25 prove that Piney Grove has again been very diligent to not only
6
1 listen to our neighbors but to actively address their legitimate
2 concerns . Throughout this process, we, as an Applicant, have
3 shown readiness and we have shown a great deal of commitment to
4 compromise with our neighbors even at the expense of us getting
5 the short end of the stick in the name of compromise.
6
7 You all know that Piney Grove Baptist Church is a historic
8 presence not only in our community but also in the entire City
9 of Virginia Beach. We have been in our geographical location
10 for almost a century and a half, and with being where we are 145
11 years, Piney Grove has welcomed all expansion projects that have
12 taken place around us within these 145 years, which includes
13 welcoming our neighbors who decided to build their homes around
14 us and to raise their families around us in the name of us
15 becoming one community. That is our purpose. That is a part of
16 our vision for us to exist as one community.
17
18 So, in closing, again, I want to say that considering the
19 compromises that we have already made and the indisputable
20 fairness that we have extended to our neighbors, that if there' s
21 no other motivation behind our community not reciprocating the
22 same level of fairness and compromise that we have already
23 extended to them, that I see no other reason for us to get the
24 opportunity to expand our church and to fulfill the vision that
25 we have for our church.
.7
1
2 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Any questions for
3 Mr. Williams? Yes, Mr. Ripley?
4
5 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: You mentioned you started off by
6 talking about the parking that you
7 would like to have put in on the house that' s to the back of the
8 church.
9
10 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Sure.
11
12 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: And we were talking this morning
13 about the potential if there were
14 parking back there to the extent that you would buffer it, have
15 you thought about that, how you would?
16
17 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Well, again, that was in our initial
18 plan. The initial plan was to create
19 a sizable buffer so that when residents did pass by they would
20 not see a parking lot, per se, but they would see a great deal
21 of greenery. So, we talked about that and we have that in our
22 initial plan, but again, the community just for beautification
23 purposes were just in strong opposition of us having a parking
24 lot there and removing our home. So, we did consider that. We
25 did have a plan for that, and I think we still have that today.
8
1
2 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: Well, I saw a plan. I don' t know if
3 it was the final plan that you
4 submitted, and it did have some landscaping around it. The type
5 of buffering that was mentioned this morning was what they
6 referred to here as category; they put them in different
7 categories, and 6 is probably the highest category, I believe.
8 I may be wrong. And that involves a fence and then landscaping
9 the outside of the fence and maintaining it and those types of
10 things . Is that something that if, I can't tell you which way
11 this is going to go, but I 'm just speaking for myself, if that' s
12 the way this application were to go, is that something you'd be
13 willing to do?
14
15 PASTOR WILLIAMS: We' re more than willing to do that,
16 more than willing.
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Thornton?
19
20 VICE-CHAIRMAN THORNTON: Your initial plan, we saw a copy of
21 it today, was to tear the house down
22 and have parking all back there. And you, in the spirit of
23 compromise, are you saying that you've pulled that off the table
24 for the time being and said to your neighbors "I won' t park back
25 there. We' ll just leave the house back there and let it be a
9
1 rental property"; is that sort of the history of that?
2
3 PASTOR WILLIAMS: That was the term of compromise. The
4 community asked us if they agreed to
5 back our project would we remove that off of the table, and we
6 did that, but when we did it they came back and said "now you
7 don' t have enough parking and we don't feel safe" . So, it' s
8 like they' re presenting a moving target for us that we couldn' t
9 satisfy what they really wanted.
10
11 VICE-CHAIRMAN THORNTON: So, your initial plan would have
12 liked to have had that area to park.
13
14 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Yes . Again, my vision, and I told
15 this to the community at the first
16 at-large meeting, my vision was to have enough parking where we
17 could remove all cars out of the community, period, so we could
18 have all of our members and visitors parking on site and there
19 would be nobody in the community at all .
20
21 VICE-CHAIRMAN THORNTON: Thank you.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Mrs. Oliver?
24
25 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: I have a question, and I read it
10
1 somewhere, but I 'm not sure where it
2 exactly was. But at one point, they were addressing the times
3 of the service, the eight and the eleven. Did you all at one
4 point think about moving the eight o' clock service to a nine;
5 did I read that?
6
7 PASTOR WILLIAMS: We talked about that in the
8 conditions, if parking got out of
9 control, what are some of the options that we could utilize to
10 deal with the parking issue. One of the things I said was we
11 could stagger our service time to make their first service,
12 which is at seven forty-five in the morning, more appealing to
13 people to want to get up and come if we move it to nine. So,
14 moving programming is easy for us to do, so that was one of the
15 options for the conditioning that we talked about.
16
17 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: Thank you.
18
19 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Mr. Russo?
20
21 SECRETARY RUSSO: Pastor Williams, your architect may
22 know this, how many additional parking
23 spaces would you obtain if you leveled the residence?
24
25 PASTOR WILLIAMS: The approximation was around 50 to 60
11
1 parking spaces .
2
3 SECRETARY RUSSO: And just so I 'm clear, Mr. Ripley
4 asked about the fencing. So, that in
5 essence would cut off any access from that portion of the
6 neighborhood so people couldn' t park there and walk on through.
7
8 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Right.
9
10 SECRETARY RUSSO: And I think there' s also some
11 discussion or some question from the
12 neighborhood about the lot across the street across Holland
13 Road, and I think there' s some question about developing that
14 lot to increase the parking in that area. Have you given
15 thought to that?
16
17 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Well, again, we talked about that as
18 other flexible options that we could
19 utilize if the current parking that we are requesting, if we
20 grow beyond that. We have about 1 . 3 acres of land that we can
21 potentially develop over there if we need additional parking on
22 our property across the street, and we talked about with the
23 City having a plan to expand to four lanes, we talked about
24 having a shuttle service to meet the satisfaction of the
25 community who raise questions about people crossing the street
12
1 at Chestwood, I think it is, the corner of Chestwood. So, we
2 talked about we could have a shuttle to satisfy the concerns of
3 the community to shuttle people from that lot over to our
4 on-site property. So, those, again, were conditions that we
5 were trying to compromise on.
6
7 SECRETARY RUSSO: So, the property across Holland Road,
8 you said, is that 1 . 3 acres, because I
9 know there' s a cemetery?
10
11 PASTOR WILLIAMS: It' s actually more than that, we have
12 a cemetery there, but we have
13 approximately about 1 . 3 acres that we can develop. I want to
14 say it' s about 2 . 6, I think, complete, I think, but from my
15 understanding we have about 1 . 3 that we can develop, which from
16 my understanding would give us a parking capacity of about 150
17 more parking spaces if we were to do that .
18
19 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Any other questions? I
20 have one quick one, kind of feeding
21 off what Phil just said. So, would you rather with your initial
22 plan put it where the house is, your parking, or would you
23 prefer to be able to take the 1 . 3 acres across the street and
24 make that a full parking facility?
25
13
1 PASTOR WILLIAMS: I would prefer to have all of my
2 parking on one site for a lot of
3 different reasons; number one, it ' s cheaper, given the new
4 orders with underground drainage. We already have that system
5 on site so it wouldn' t cost us as much to extend our parking
6 where the home is . If we go across the street we' re looking at
7 almost half a million to develop that with the underground
8 drainage. Number two, it will be an inconvenience to how to
9 develop across the street and develop a shuttle system because
10 you have the plausibility of rain and having to deal with people
11 waiting in the rain to get on the shuttle and come across .
12
13 However, again, as I stated before, we made a lot of compromises
14 where we have come on the short end of the stick but we've taken
15 that in the name of partnership and compromise to try to work
16 with our community. So, we 've been trying to do everything that
17 we possibly can to make this project successful for both
18 parties . But I would primarily prefer my initial plan to have
19 all my parking on site, and that would give me about 240, maybe
20 a little bit more, parking spaces .
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mrs . Kwasny?
23
24 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I have an additional question about
25 the parking. So, optimally, if we
I II
14
1 were to use the residential lot, would you continue to then use,
2 would you agree to then use, the lot across the street via
3 shuttle or whatever method possible so that you could still
4 maximize your number of lots? For instance, if you gain 70 by
5 being able to use the residential lot and gain another 70 by
6 continuing to use the adjacent lot, we come pretty close to what
7 some of the figures seem to suggest is the traffic or parking
8 needed.
9
10 PASTOR WILLIAMS: You' re at about 320 parking spaces
11 with both, and given the condition of
12 parking no more than 40 in the community to make the community
13 happy, you' re talking about potentially 350-55 if we' re allowed
14 to still park less than 40 in the community without upsetting
15 the community. So, that would be ideal, but the
16 across-the-street parking will now become on an at-need basis
17 for 10, 15 years from now. We don' t anticipate growing that
18 fast as the community is throwing out plausibilities that we 're
19 going to grow. We have all types of Plan A, Plan B, Plan C-type
20 of plans that can prevent us from having so much traffic into
21 the community. So, that would really maximize us and really
22 satisfy the 835-seat capacity building that we' re attempting to
23 build.
24
25 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: May I continue?
15
1
2 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Yes, please?
3
4 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I 'm just trying to minimize impacts
5 that have to be addressed after the
6 fact and instead take a look at what can be done to minimize
7 impact now, kind of guaranteed. So, rather than, in my mind,
8 I 'm thinking how to get those cars off that road and actually
9 utilize -- if in an ideal world you' re able to Category 6 buffer
10 and remove the access to that property from the residential
11 street, access it from your own site, and then also continue to
12 utilize via a conditioned shuttle service cross the street, you
13 get very close to what the traffic study seems to suggest is the
14 parking that you need rather than continuing to include the 40 .
15 The 40 on the street then would be special occasion kind of
16 parking.
17
18 PASTOR WILLIAMS: That was a condition that was put in.
19
20 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: Would you still be amenable to that
21 condition if you had additional
22 parking on the residential lot to allow for shuttle across the
23 street?
24
25 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Whatever will help us get this
16
1 project done, we' re willing to work it
2 out .
3
4 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: So, you did reduce the size of the
5 building initially, correct?
6
7 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Our initial building was, I want to
8 say, about 1, 100, and we've reduced
9 that, as well, to 835 . Again, that was another sizable
10 compromise that we made to be good neighbors . Again, if we --
11 the church has been there for a long time, and if we are allowed
12 to continue to exist, we have a lot of members in our church
13 that have great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, that are
14 buried across the street.
15
16 We had a plan with the former pastor to go to Salem Road, as you
17 all know; however, our congregation was split on making that
18 decision. A lot of people did not want to leave. So, when I
19 came I inherited that split and decided that it would be in our
20 best interests to stay where we are. It worked out anyway,
21 because the City bought back Salem Road from us and pretty much
22 kind of blocked us from expanding over there. So, the only
23 option we have, which is an option that ' s suitable for my entire
24 congregation, is to stay where we are. And we bought land to be
25 able to do that and whatever we need to do, whatever conditions
17
1 we need to put in today to make that happen, my church is
2 willing to do that today.
3
4 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Mrs . Kwasny?
5
6 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: But your level of expansion won' t be
7 decreased; that ' s not one of the
8 things on the table?
9
10 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Decreased, as far as?
11
12 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: From 835 to 650, just throwing it out
13 there.
14
15 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Well, 650, we haven' t talked about
16 seating. We have enough parking to do
17 more than 835. So, the 835 that we' re talking is already a
18 compromise, and we feel like it will be suitable enough to not
19 only handle where we are right now but future growth and special
20 services .
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions for Mr. Williams?
23 Thank you, sir.
24
25 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Thank you, Sir.
18
1
2 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Richard Ivy.
3 Well, I see you've stated "for
4 questions only" .
5
6 RICHARD IVY: Yes, sir. This is Richard Ivy. I am
7 the architect for the church and have
8 been here since pre-Salem Road times that we've been playing
9 with this . At one time, we had over 1, 200 seats on the present
10 property, but at this point I 'm here to answer your questions
11 should you have any about the history of what ' s been going on
12 and what we can and can not do. But other than that, I 'm going
13 to leave the rest of it to the church.
14
15 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions for Mr. Ivy? Thank
16 you.
17
18 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker in support is Linda
19 Russell.
20
21 LINDA RUSSELL: I 'm Linda Russell. I live in
22 Cardinal Estates, so I might be
23 considered as an outsider here. The reason I got involved with
24 the Piney Grove Church is I came to my neighborhood, the first
25 neighborhood to be built in 1963, just like the City, and my son
111
19
1 was two years old and my daughter was born here twenty years ago
2 in my neighborhood. They not only chose to live in Virginia
3 Beach, they've chosen to live in my neighborhood, okay?
4
5 So, I said, well, if they' re going to live here I want them to
6 know the history of where they live. I don' t have a house or
7 anything, so I have to go -- we have a graveyard in our
8 neighborhood. So, I started there, the wreck in 1800 . I have
9 the Mennonites, the house was tore down where I live, and they
10 come back every -- they' re down in our -- when the development
11 started, they had to go there. They come back every summer, and
12 they visit and they bring me more and more information. And
13 they told me I needed to go to the Piney Grove Church and the
14 graveyard and I will find my answers there. So, that' s how I
15 ended up.
16
17 I started going to the Piney Grove Church. I have walked -- I 'm
18 over 70 years old -- I parked in the neighborhood, apparently, I
19 got the good neighborhood because I parked on I believe it ' s
20 Damascus, I think one road is, yes, Damascus is across the
21 street, so I parked there. The neighbors come out and talk to
22 me on Sunday when I leave and I come. I don' t have a problem.
23 They don' t have a problem. I 've even parked in the parking lot
24 across the street. Sometimes there' s a guard. Sometimes
25 there' s not. I have no trouble getting to this church on Sunday
20
1 morning.
2
3 So, I wish you would do what they want to do because I need them
4 to do my family history so my kids will know where they live,
5 and it all started with the Piney Grove Church.

7 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you, Mrs. Russell . Anybody
8 have any questions for Mrs. Russell?
9 Thank you for coming down.
10
11 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Harry Lashley.
12
13 HARRY LASHLEY: Good afternoon. I 'm the Chief
14 Administrator for Piney Grove Baptist
15 Church. I 've been a member of the church for over twenty years .
16
17 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, state your name for us .
18
19 HARRY LASHLEY: Harry Lashley.
20
21 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
22
23 HARRY LASHLEY: And I 've served as the Chief
24 Administrator for twelve years to the
25 church. As I 've stated at the community meetings, the church
21
1 stands, we have growth because we ' re a heavily populated
2 military congregation, so people come and go in that process, as
3 they do, and in our church there' s a lot of retired military
4 people who stay in this area in the process of it.
5
6 And as you said, our Pastor stated it first, that we had planned
7 to go to Salem Road with the change in that process of it. And
8 as we had been with the community in that process, we have
9 compromised in every way possible and adding other things, as
10 well. Originally, in that process of trying to delete the
11 traffic in the community, that' s why we did an entranceway from
12 Chestwood. Some of the people would not have to go in the
13 community to go around once the expansion of the highway is
14 done, because once the expansion is done, previously it was not
15 giving a turn-a-way from coming down Holland Road, and it ' s
16 farther to make a left turn.
17
18 So, basically, we did look at the site as how they can develop
19 behind the property, itself, which gave up parking spaces, as
20 well, to do that in that process to add the entranceway back
21 there so they can relieve the traffic to be able to go in the
22 community. So, they come in and turn left on Chestwood to gain
23 entrance in this side of the parking lot.
24
25 So, as stated, we have done all we can do to minimize the
22
1 traffic in the community in the process of it, even doing the
2 traffic study, itself, in the process of it. And as I stated,
3 they went to the community. The traffic, it could be more
4 commuter traffic vice the church traffic, because once you do do
5 that in that process with the lights going to the end of Sugar
6 Maple, it ' s going to make everyone who lives in that community
7 to turn at the red light to go into the community in that
8 process, the church, itself.
9
10 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions for Mr. Lashley? Thank
11 you, sir.
12
13 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Joseph Allen.
14
15 JOSEPH ALLEN: Good afternoon, Chairman, Members of
16 the Planning Commission Panel, as well
17 as Holland Pines Community and my Piney Grove Baptist Church
18 family. Again, my name is Joseph Allen. I 've been in the
19 Holland Pines community for nineteen-plus years, retired
20 military, raised seven kids in that community. It ' s been a
21 great community and the church has been there that long.
22
23 I just wanted to talk about some of the things, I know we talked
24 about times, but 7 : 30 to 08 : 00 for our 7 : 45 services on a Sunday
25 coming in and out of our residences, the residential area,
23
1 that' s not that much traffic out there. So, for people thinking
2 they' re going to encounter some traffic, it' s not that much
3 traffic. Then we have our afternoon service starts at 10 : 30 --
4 I mean, 10: 45, and so between 10 : 30 and 11 : 00 is what I 'm
5 talking about, the transit time. Most of our congregation comes
6 from the Dam Neck area coming into the church.
7
8 So, we' re not doing that much traffic, again. Sunday morning,
9 one day out of a week that possibly as a resident of Holland
10 Pines, you may run into some traffic, but that ' s not saying you
11 will. Also, when we exit, we exit our sanctuary after church is
12 over between 12 : 30 and 1 : 00 you may encounter traffic, but
13 it' s not to that point where it is devastating. Anytime you
14 leave the community you possibly run into some traffic. I just
15 wanted to talk about those things right there .
16
17 Also, as a church, our community involvement, we do a lot of
18 things for the community, itself. We volunteer to feed the
19 homeless . We have an annual blanket drive for the Virginia
20 Beach nursing homes. We have a food pantry that supports those
21 families that can' t support themselves when they' re in need of
22 food or whatever the case may be. We do a partnership with the
23 School Board through a STEM program, a youth program. We also
24 have a ministry that goes out and ministers to those that are
25 incarcerated. Those are some of the things that we do in the
I
24
1 community.
2
3 The church, itself, is going to be a positive impact when we
4 talk about expansion. You talk about people getting out of the
5 services. The pastor talked in terms of holidays, people go
6 into restaurants, the local restaurants here in Virginia Beach,
7 that type of stuff, gas stations, supermarkets, whatever the
8 case may be. The church as a whole is going to be a positive
9 impact. It has been a positive impact on the community and will
10 continue to be a positive impact on the community as a
11 congregation.
12
13 So, I ask the Commission, the Panel, the people, the residents
14 of Holland Pines, take that into consideration, because that ' s
15 what we' re doing. We' re trying to uplift the kingdom of God.
16 That' s what we ' re about.
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Any questions for
19 Mr. Allen? Thank you for your
20 service.
21
22 JOSEPH ALLEN: Thank you, Sir.
23
24 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Joseph Burgess.
25
25
1 JOSEPH BURGESS: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, Panel .
2 I, too, come --
3
4 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, state your name, for the
5 record.
6
7 JOSEPH BURGESS: -- my name is Joseph Burgess.
8
9 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
10
11 JOSEPH BURGESS: I, too, come to bring forth some of
12 the positives that I believe this
13 church has done in the community and will continue to do. Of
14 course, you are well aware that our church is a place for
15 worship for any family in the Tidewater area. That includes the
16 residents that are surrounding the church right now. We invite
17 them to come to our church and see exactly what we' re doing
18 there, and they would find out it ' s a positive situation.
19
20 We have a lot of children at our church, a lot of families, and
21 I think we provide instruction for our children' s future to
22 become positive citizens in this community of Virginia Beach.
23 We also provide missionary activities for the area.
24
25 I 've been a member of this church since 1998; that ' s seventeen
26
1 years . I 'm retired military. I 'm a deacon at the church. I
2 support the church and I support the community as much as I can.
3 As was mentioned by my brother, Joe Allen, I do prison ministry
4 at Indian Creek Correctional Center out in Chesapeake. So, I 'm
5 just an example of some of the positive attributes that Piney
6 Grove Baptist Church presents to the community.
7
8 I believe that this is a positive aspect for the community.
9 This is not a nightclub we ' re building or anything like that .
10 This is a church. It ' s to uplift people, help people that are
11 in need, people that are struggling, and it' s what God would
12 have us to do. I would like to thank you for having me come and.
13 speak before you this afternoon. Thank you.
14
15 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Before you' re seated,
16 Mr. Burgess, I just want to make sure
17 we don' t have any questions for you before you head out. Any
18 questions for Mr. Burgess? Thank you very much. Thanks for
19 your service to our country, too.
20
21 JOSEPH BURGESS: Thank you.
22
23 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is George Minns .
24
25 GEORGE MINNS: Good evening, Mr. Chairman, Members
27
1 of the Commission. My name is E.
2 George Minns . My connection to Piney Grove started when I was a
3 little boy. Piney Grove is the sister church to Mount Zion AME,
4 my family home church. Secondly, Piney Grove has been a large
5 part of support of myself in my fifteen years serving as
6 presiding officer for community institutions . And finally,
7 Seatack, the oldest African-American community in the United
8 States in the Library of Congress records, many of our members
9 of our community are members and descendent members from Piney
10 Grove. With that said, I will simply say that I come to
11 represent Seatack and that portion of Mount Zion AME Church
12 right around the corner as community support for their effort to
13 be of greater service to the City of Virginia Beach in that
14 particular location. I thank you.
15
16 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Any questions for
17 Mr. Minns? Thank you, sir.
18
19 SECRETARY RUSSO: Mr. Chairman, our first speaker in
20 opposition is Kevin Brennan.
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Good afternoon.
23
24 KEVIN BRENNAN: Good afternoon, Members of the
25 Planning Commission. Good afternoon
28
1 and thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today. I am
2 Kevin Brennan. I 'm the owner and resident of 2941 Mimosa Court
3 in the Holland Oaks residential subdivision. I am going to talk
4 to you today on behalf of some of the neighbors and members of
5 Holland Oaks and Holland Pines regarding the encroachment, the
6 proposed application of Piney Grove Baptist Church, put before
7 the Commission.
8
9 While many more residents expressed strong desire to attend
10 today, the scheduled time was not compatible with their work
11 schedules . If the hearing was scheduled in the afternoon or
12 early evening, the representation would be vastly different than
13 what you see before you today. Our community stance is for the
14 Commission to not vote in favor of the application to change the
15 conditional use permit for 2821 on Bald Eagle Road and the
16 existing structure at 2804 Holland Road in its current form, the
17 current form that you have before you.
18
19 The Piney Grove Baptist Church does admirable work. Nobody is
20 against that. However, the conversation and the decisions
21 before the Commission is not about the work or the history of
22 the church. It ' s about the impact the excessive expansion will
23 have on the community and the adverse effects to the overall
24 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan, what really is
25 that? That is something that in essence gives us a way to go
29
1 forward in a holistic manner. It says we ' re going to take in
2 the past, we ' re going to take the current, we' re going to take a
3 future vision and make sure they all match together. It removes
4 from us the shortsightedness or decisions in a now process to
5 alleviate an issue without looking to what the future
6 consequences would be.
7
8 While the proposed plan and recommendation from the Planning
9 Department addresses some of the present issues, it does not
10 address the clearly identifiable current parking issues, the
11 parking issues during construction, or the stark and calculable
12 future impacts this would have. The use of the words "stark and
13 calculable" in describing the impacts were specifically chosen
14 and this is why. Currently, the Piney Grove Baptist Church runs
15 two services every Sunday with the capacity of 420 parishioners
16 per service with 62 improved on-site parking spaces and a
17 non-conforming overflow parking area across Holland Road with an
18 estimated capacity of 80 vehicles .
19
20 In accordance with the Church' s own traffic study, the average
21 attendance rate per vehicle is 2 . 5 occupants in every vehicle.
22 Additionally, the demographic consisted of over 200 vehicles
23 with one breakdown consisting of 62 on the onsite, 69 across the
24 street in the overflow, and 49 within the Holland Pines/Holland
25 Oaks residential street. The proposed expansion only creates 81
30
1 spots . It does not even equal the number required for the
2 current attendance rates that are at the church and the church
3 is on the traffic study. The proposed expansion would increase
4 the capacity of the church service from 420, which equals 200
5 vehicles now, to 835 parishioners --
6
7 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Brown, I have to ask that you
8 start to wrap it up.
9
10 KEVIN BRENNAN: I was told ten minutes .
11
12 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Are you speaking for the Civic
13 League?
14
15 KEVIN BRENNAN: Yes . I was speaking on behalf of
16 everybody for ten minutes, is what I
17 was told, and that' s what I put on the card.
18
19 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Okay.
20
21 KEVIN BRENNAN: Thank you very much.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Yes .
24
25 KEVIN BRENNAN: This creates a shortage of
111
31.
1 approximately 153 parking spaces
2 immediately upon the completion of the project. The
3 nonconforming lot, the City Department of Public Works and
4 Traffic and Engineering has concerns about people crossing a
5 four-lane highway, divided highway. While some concessions were
6 made to preserve the single-family home at the cost of
7 approximately 50 parking spaces, two things were considered when
8 we expressed those conditions; the value impact to our residents
9 when a parking lot gets put next to our homes, and the other
10 thing was that taking down that home was a ten-to-fifteen-year
11 plan. It wasn' t an immediate plan. It was in their original
12 plan when it was going to be 1, 200 people in that church, and it
13 was to make the requirement of 1 : 5 ration for zoning, but it
14 would not be there from the beginning.
15
16 The next is the conditions that are imposed that would help to
17 alleviate some of the traffic problems . Condition Number 9,
18 which only occurred within the last twenty-four hours, Condition.
19 Number 9, the overall purpose of the building plan, shouldn' t it
20 have a condition to say "hey, come up with a plan and then
21 figure it out"? It should be put before you and should be put
22 before the community in phases of the construction so we all
23 have a say of how that goes forward.
24
25 Condition Number 10, I would submit this is an unrealistic
32
1 condition. Any reasonable person given a choice between parking
2 across a four-lane highway and taking a shuttle for an adjacent
3 street and walking, what ' s reasonably going to happen? The
4 person is going to park near it and walk in. They' re not going
5 to sit and wait. So, this is absolutely, given the choice that
6 every expansion would go, it would continue to come into Holland
7 Oaks.
8
9 Now, Condition 11, who would monitor this? The church? The
10 community? The church had an average of 40 vehicles on Sundays
11 already in the neighborhood, and we have approached them many
12 times to alleviate this problem, and they have implemented none
13 of those conditions to date. So, what is the expectation those
14 conditions would be met in the future? On our part there is
15 none.
16
17 These numbers are known and calculable. The Planning
18 Department, the church, and now you, the Commission, know the
19 numbers . It ' s not will it happen or when. It is happening now,
20 and it will only be compounded as the expansion goes on. The
21 Planning Department identified this as moderate growth. We
22 would disagree. Webster defines "moderate" as "limited in scope
23 and effort" . "Stark" is defined as "plain, easily seen, strong,
24 robust, and sharply delineated" . I would submit to you that
25 doubling the size and the calculable requirements of the parking
111
33
1 and its impact to the community is stark. It is a robust,
2 easily seen, and sharply delineated change.
3
4 The last thing before I surmise everything is the Comprehensive
5 Plan, the impact the expansion would have with this plan. Piney
6 Grove Baptist Church and the surrounding community resides in a
7 suburban area, as defined by the Planning Department and in the
8 Comprehensive Plan. The overriding objective of the policy for
9 the suburban area is to protect the predominantly suburban
10 character in the large measure by the stable neighborhoods that
11 exist within the suburban areas .
12
13 A suburban area, in part, is characterized by predominantly low
14 density residential subdivisions and low intensity retail,
15 shopping center, office complex, and appointment centers . The
16 Comprehensive Plan recognizes the primacy of preserving and
17 protecting the overall character, the economic value, and the
18 aesthetic quality of stable neighborhoods in the suburban area.
19
20 The three key planning principles that preside over this, two of
21 them are greatly affected by this expansion plan. They are
22 preserving the quality of the neighborhood and the current
23 suburban mobility. The preserving the neighborhood quality
24 should have among other aspects considered compatibility with
25 the surroundings affecting the site and the building, the
34
1 improved mobility, and the buffering of the residential
2 neighborhoods .
3
4 The property at 2821 Bald Eagle Road is already zoned as an
5 Agricultural 2 with a Conditional Use Permit for a single-family
6 residence. The property was just purchased by the applicant.
7 The Planning Commission recognized in the past the issuance of a
8 conditional use permit for single-family homes would have strong
9 positive results for the quality of the neighborhood, which is
10 in line with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant asks you to
11 essentially grant a conditional use permit to become a parking
12 lot . That' s what that property will then become, a parking lot .
13
14 It is unfortunate the property was purchased for a specific
15 intent; however, why should the needs of the applicant, a few,
16 outweigh the investment, the quality, and the vibrancy of our
17 existing neighborhood, which is already in accordance with the
18 Comprehensive Plan going forward. As has already been
19 demonstrated, the stark increase of the vehicle parking
20 requirements is counter to the site' s compatibility with the
21 surroundings, the improvement of the mobility in the area, and
22 in most glaring misalignment with the Comprehensive Plan in
23 buffering the residential areas .
24
25 The size and intensity of the proposal will drastically and
35
1 irrevocably affect the quality of the neighborhoods surrounding
2 the expansion. The resulting impact in increased traffic and
3 parking, which will occur immediately, is directly against the
4 Planning principles in preserving the neighborhood quality, and
5 in connecting the suburban mobility the intent behind the
6 connecting suburban mobility is decreased congestion and use of
7 residential neighborhoods as through traffic.
8
9 The excessive expansion will increase traffic through both the
10 identified lack of parking and the use of Chestwood Drive as an
11 entrance to the church which currently isn' t occurring but will
12 in the expansion. The resulting congestion in the neighborhood
13 would increase to unsafe levels. This is a foreseeable and
14 would result in an acumen of traffic calming measures
15 immediately. It' s not something we' re going to have to plan
16 for. It' s going to have to occur immediately.
17
18 Over the past few minutes, I 've outlined the tangible and
19 reasonable foreseeable results of the adverse impact to the
20 local neighborhoods and proposed conditional use. We, the
21 community directly affected, ask you to have the courage to vote
22 not to approve this plan for the Piney Grove Baptist Church, not
23 for what the church provides because they provide great things,
24 but because of what this impact of this excessive expansion
25 that' s before you would have on our community.
111
36
1
2 And with these final thoughts, I will leave you to ponder this,
3 because we don' t know: Who is liable if this application is
4 approved? The impacts of the associated hazards that
5 non-compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and the planning
6 guides for our suburban area are clearly identified. Who is
7 liable if this application is approved? When a foreseeable
8 accident or incident occurs as a result of a tangible increase,
9 who is liable for this if this application is approved?
10
11 If the expansion is approved and the calculable overflow of
12 parking continues to encroach into our neighborhoods, and pray
13 to God this does not occur, but a child is struck by a vehicle,
14 who is liable if this application is approved? A parishioner is
15 forced to park across the street or on a side street and is hit
16 by a vehicle while attempting to attend the service. Who is
17 liable at that point? We knew that these things could occur.
18 It was foreseeable and expected. That' s why we encourage you to
19 once again have the courage to vote no on this application and
20 send it back to be redesigned and resubmitted, because at its
21 current rate of expansion it is not something we can take within
22 our community. It would change our community drastically from
23 this point forward.
24
25 And we understand that sometimes the right thing to do isn' t
37
1 always easy. Getting up here and talking against a church is
2 not easy. You making a decision against a church' s desires is
3 not easy, but sometimes it ' s the right thing to do. Thank you
4 very much.
5
6 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you, Mr. Brennan. Are there
7 any questions?
8
9 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: I 've got one.
10
11 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Thornton?
12
13 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: If they can figure out a way to park
14 to satisfy the people in the
15 sanctuary, would you all be willing to work with them on this?
16
17 KEVIN BRENNAN: If it' s a matter of, I mean, we can
18 sit here, ladies and gentlemen, and
19 have negotiations about what we' re acceptable to back and forth
20 and conditions can continue to grow, but at what point are
21 conditions so much that the plan, itself should just be redone?
22 Now, I will tell you this. We' re amenable to the church staying
23 there and having a legitimately moderate growth in its size.
24 Yes, there' s discussions that we can have on that, but at its
25 current rate of expansion there is no way they have enough
38
1 property to satisfy what is identified in their own traffic
2 study the required number of parking spaces . Remember, that 50
3 that they talked about about that house, that wasn' t even in the
4 plan for ten to fifteen years . They were not even going to put
5 that into their plan on the original submission for their third
6 phase of construction whish occurred ten to fifteen years down
7 the road. It wasn' t up front.
8
9 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Let me ask it again. If they build
10 the building that they have set forth
11 and given us to consider, and they have enough parking on that
12 property across the street and as we 've seen and including that
13 piece where the house is, would you all be willing to work with
14 them on this plan?
15
16 KEVIN BRENNAN: I would argue right now on the
17 current plan, no, we' re not, with the
18 size of the expansion.
19
20 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Thank you. That' s my question.
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Are there any other questions?
23 Mr. Russo?
24
25 SECRETARY RUSSO: Sir, our report indicates that with
I II
39
1 the expansion that they go from 62 to
2 181 spaces .
3
4 KEVIN BRENNAN: That is correct. That' s what we ' re
5 tracking, as well.
6
7 SECRETARY RUSSO: Let me ask you this. Do you know how
8 far the parking extends to on Bald
9 Eagle on Sundays?
10
11 KEVIN BRENNAN: It all depends on the number of cars
12 that are backed up. So, it can extend
13 down Bald Eagle past where the parking -- where 2821 Bald Eagle
14 Road is . They also expand into other side streets . It all
15 depends on where they park.
16
17 SECRETARY RUSSO: Where is the longest that you've ever
18 seen this extending to?
19
20 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Use the pointer right there.
21
22 KEVIN BRENNAN: So, here are Chestwood, Bald Eagle,
23 there' s been parking that' s backed all
24 the way up to here, all the way through this development, and
25 all the way down through here at times .
40
1
2 SECRETARY RUSSO: And do you have any idea of the
3 number of cars?
4
5 KEVIN BRENNAN: On the average, the number of cars
6 that park in the neighborhood is
7 between 40 and 50, currently; between 40 and 50, is the average.
8
9 SECRETARY RUSSO: Well, the pastor stated by leveling
10 the house they' re going to obtain
11 about 50 to 60 additional spaces then for parking.
12
13 KEVIN BRENNAN: Yes .
14
15 SECRETARY RUSSO: So, wouldn' t that eliminate the
16 problem in the neighborhood?
17
18 KEVIN BRENNAN: Well, that' s also taking into
19 consideration that people park across
20 the road. Now, if you remove those from the streets around our
21 neighborhood, who' s to say that the ones that currently have to
22 park across the road wouldn't then say "well, now there' s spots
23 available for me to park there, and I don't have to walk a mile
24 into Holland Pines to get a spot" . What you' re saying is
25 pulling off of there to equal the number of spots out of our
41
1 neighborhood would alleviate the problem, and it doesn' t because
2 the capacity that they have within the church requires them to
3 have more spaces than they can put on that limited space of
4 ground.
5
6 SECRETARY RUSSO: Okay. But by eliminating the house
7 and putting up the fencing and the
8 Category 6, you' re restricting people' s ability to walk from
9 Bald Eagle, so they would have to park across the street.
10
11 KEVIN BRENNAN: No, sir. They would continue to park
12 down Chestwood and all the way up Bald
13 Eagle and up through Rose Petal and walk down and enter the
14 church over here, which they currently do. They don' t walk
15 currently through that residence. They walk down Chestwood
16 Drive and walk into the church. Parking is all up this road and
17 then turns up this road into here.
18
19 SECRETARY RUSSO: Are you sure that' s going to happen?
20 It seems like a shorter walk from
21 across Holland Road.
22
23 KEVIN BRENNAN: It already occurs. It ' s not do I
24 think that' s going to happen. It
25 already happens . And I would argue this, you put in that
42
1 four-lane divided highway, how many people here would walk
2 across Dam Neck Road? Dam Neck Road is a four-lane divided
3 highway at 45 miles an hour in most areas . I would argue, you
4 put that in on that road, and their crossing guards, while they
5 do great work, are they really going to stop somebody that' s
6 speeding down that road at 45 miles an hour? That is not
7 expected. Or are they going to wait for a shuttle bus? And how
8 is the shuttle bus going to get in and out of that property
9 across the road? It' s undeveloped.
10
11 SECRETARY RUSSO: Now, as far as the hours on Sunday,
12 what time period is this parking issue
13 a problem?
14
15 KEVIN BRENNAN: The predominant time frames when the
16 parking occurs and it' s bad is at the
17 10: 45 service. But we have spoken with the church many times,
18 and they have never been amenable to changing their hours . Now,
19 I grant it they're saying they will now. That ' s great and we
20 would hope that they do. Let' s see it done first to alleviate
21 the problem they have now as opposed to you say you' re going to
22 do it in the future and all of a sudden we have the problem. It
23 should have been implemented already and it hasn't been.
24
25 SECRETARY RUSSO: And then finally, you bring up the
43
1 Comp Plan, and apparently you
2 recognize the work and the value of the church, but if you
3 restrict the expansion where are they going to go?
4
5 KEVIN BRENNAN: So, the church has already looked to
6 other areas to expand. Why does --
7 because they have a want and a need, they want to expand and
8 they want to expand here. They had wanted to expand at one
9 point someplace else, so it isn' t a -- it ' s their want to expand
10 this site . It ' s not a need to expand this site. They can move
11 somewhere else. The name "Piney Grove Baptist Church" is
12 historical, there ' s no doubt, but they were willing already at
13 one point to move to Salem Road. Why then do their needs have
14 to be met in this location? They've only been at the present
15 location since 1989. And though I loved the 80s, I 'm a child of
16 the 80s, I would say there' s not a whole lot of historical value
17 structures that have come out of the 80s.
18
19 SECRETARY RUSSO: Well, I guess their response to that
20 would be why don' t you move?
21
22 KEVIN BRENNAN: Absolutely. When I bought the
23 property -- was in the neighborhood
24 that are zoned for R-10 or R-75, and that conditional use for
25 2821 was already approved by this board years ago to be
I III
44
1 conditionally used as a property. We bought it with that intent
2 in mind. We have a holistic neighborhood in place. They have
3 the ability to move. They have already desired to do it once
4 before. So, their expansion of their current growth, we ' re not
5 saying don' t expand. We ' re just saying don't expand as much as
6 you are.
7
8 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mrs . Oliver?
9
10 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: I have a question. Right now, from
11 what I understand, and correct me if
12 I 'm wrong, they're parked in the neighborhood streets because
13 the lot that they have is full and the lot across the street is
14 full, correct?
15
16 KEVIN BRENNAN: That is not correct.
17
18 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: The lot across the street is not
19 full? They just choose to park down
20 the street because it ' s closer?
21
22 KEVIN BRENNAN: That is correct. If you go there on
23 a Sunday morning, ma' am, and you look,
24 the parking lot across the street and the parking lot in the
25 church isn' t even full, and they' re still parking on the street
45
1 at that point. The parking lot across, even in their own
2 numbers they showed you, 69. If they' re saying 80 cars can park
3 there, on their own study they' ll have 69 cars parked there and
4 49 parked in the neighborhood. That tells you that their 80
5 spots that they say they have in that area isn' t a true 80 spots
6 that they have; otherwise, the numbers would show 80 people in
7 that spot and less by 20 inside the neighborhood.
8
9 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: So, let' s fast forward a bit and they
10 go to the expansion and they level the
11 house. And where the trees are they make a parking lot, and
12 they keep the parking lot across the street and it' s made so
13 that everybody can park. From what I 'm gathering from you now,
14 it ' s just not a great parking lot, so they prefer to park on the
15 paved streets, right?
16
17 KEVIN BRENNAN: Yes .
18
19 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: Is that what you' re saying?
20
21 KEVIN BRENNAN: Or not walk across a four-lane
22 highway, or two lane, at this point.
23 That' s my only guess . I can' t read their minds of why they
24 choose a neighborhood over that. I just know they choose the
25 neighborhood over that.
I III
46
1
2 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: Right. So, if he expands his parking
3 lot, takes down the house, razes the
4 tree lot, and they have crush and run across the street, do you
5 not think everybody will park in those parking lots?
6
7 KEVIN BRENNAN: No, because you still aren' t going to
8 have enough. The sheer numbers in
9 their own study tell you that. If you gave -- there' s 181 plus
10 50, that get ' s us to about 240-ish, right? And another 80
11 across the road gets us up in to the 300 range.
12
13 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: If he changes his service times,
14 because I go to church on Sundays
15 pretty much every Sunday and I 'm not a 7 : 45 person, I 'm a 9: 15
16 person, 11 : 00 is too late for me, if he changes probably his
17 services, because most everybody likes to go a little bit later,
18 to a 9: 00 and 11 : 00, I 'm assuming his numbers for his 11 : 00
19 service are a lot higher than his 8 : 00 service.
20
21 KEVIN BRENNAN: Their numbers show that, yes, ma'am.
22
23 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: That' s where you' re seeing the
24 overflow, correct?
25
li
47
1 KEVIN BRENNAN: Currently, currently.
2
3 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: You' re not seeing them at the 7: 45 .
4
5 KEVIN BRENNAN: Not -- special occasions, but that' s
6 normal.
7
8 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: Mother' s Day or something like that.
9 That should split the congregation a
10 little bit so that you don' t have that overflow; wouldn' t you
11 think that?
12
13 KEVIN BRENNAN: I would agree that adjusting the
14 times would have some kind of impacts .
15 However, I would argue to the Commission and say do that now.
16 Implement that for the next 60 to 100 days or whatever it takes
17 and see if the numbers change, and have another traffic study
18 done with another application that addresses the residents at
19 2829 Bald Eagle Road and addresses building out a parking lot
20 across the street; not make it as a condition, but make it as a
21 part of the overall plan for them to build so that way a true
22 debate and discussion can be had about what they' re going
23 forward with and why.
24
25 COMrMISSIONER OLIVER: So, am I hearing you correctly where
48
1 you would prefer him to develop the
2 piece of property across the street; did I just hear you say
3 that? I mean, I might have misunderstood you, that if he splits
4 the services and then develops the piece of property across the
5 street to make that his parking lot versus the one next to him?
6
7 KEVIN BRENNAN: I 'm saying that is not something that
8 we have seen in a proposal brought
9 forward to go through the process that we ' re sitting here today.
10 I would argue that they need to go back, that ' s why I say if you
11 say no on this proposal, because this proposal has drastic
12 impacts on our community, we would like the church to go back
13 and rework their complete proposal, not defer it, but vote down
14 it and say you have more options available to you. Let' s take a
15 better look at this and go back to square one and start again
16 and come forward with a realistic plan for an expansion that is
17 moderate, not an extreme, and that takes in the community' s
18 interests, the City' s interests, and the overall suburban area.
19
20 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Dr. Kwasny?
21
22 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: So, you also want them to address the
23 size and scale of the building, is
24 what you' re saying, because you keep using the term expansion,
25 so I 'm assuming that what you mean is that if they were to go
49
1 back to square one, which could be costly for them to do, they
2 would need to address the expansion; meaning, the building, the
3 scale of the sanctuary, as well?
4
5 KEVIN BRENNAN: Absolutely, because part of the
6 expansion of the sanctuary takes the
7 size of the building on a 2 1/2 approximate parcel, when you
8 include everything, 2 1/2 approximate acres . You' re putting a
9 27, 000 square foot building on that property. And the current
10 process that ' s in front of you, even though you put a condition
11 for them not to use the other part of it, if they have a max
12 capacity crowd, and they have that, and they start consistently
13 doing that, from day 1 the size of the scope of the structure
14 and everything else that ' s being placed there far exceeds what
15 can be reasonably expected to be held within that property. It
16 is going to affect everybody else. Our argument is that it
17 absolutely will affect us on the size and scope of what they' re
18 doing. Did that answer your question?
19
20 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: Uh-huh.
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
23
24 KEVIN BRENNAN: Thank you very much for your time.
25
50
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thanks .
2
3 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Martin Cochran.
4
5 MARTIN COCHRAN: Good afternoon, Commissioners . My
6 name is Martin Cochran, and I reside
7 at 1804 Chestwood Drive in Holland Pines. The neighborhood has
8 always been a great host to Piney Grove Baptist Church over the
9 last twenty years, as they have utilized the streets in the
10 neighborhood to satisfy their weekly needs for parking. We do
11 not have a problem with the church being here. We also do not
12 have a problem with the church expanding. The problem the
13 neighborhood has is the scale of this project .
14
15 The parcel in which they are trying to put a 27, 000 square foot
16 building is not large enough for such a building and still be
17 able to satisfy the parking needs to accommodate such a sized
18 structure. This project is going to be 3, 000 square feet short
19 of tripling this size of the building. The church is wanting to
20 expand the capacity from their current 420 seats to 835 seats,
21 practically doubling their occupancy.
22
23 Currently, on any given 10 : 45 Sunday service there are 200-plus
24 cars attending Piney Grove Baptist Church, specifically 217 on
25 this past Sunday. We are aware that the City' s parking
51.
1 requirement is 5 to 1, but based on the numbers given to us in
2 the traffic impact assessment, the counts we have made, and the
3 attendance numbers given to the core group of neighbors by the
4 church in the 5/22 meeting, the ratio is a more realistic 2 . 3 to
5 1 .
6
7 Doing simple math, if you have 835 members with an average of
8 2 . 3 members per car, you' re going to have 363 cars . The
9 expanded church lot is going to be 181 spaces . The
10 non-conforming lot on the west side of Holland Road can
11 accommodate 80 spaces . This gives the church 260 spaces . The
12 remaining cars would be parked in Holland Pines . If the church
13 maxes its potential, we could be looking at 100-plus cars in our
14 neighborhood.
15
16 Based on the TIA Page ES-2 Section 5 under Site Layout, the
17 report states the expansion of the existing parking area from 62
18 spaces to 181 spaces should satisfy parking for the present
19 attendants. The TIA Report is stating that expanding the lot
20 will only satisfy the current parking. The church has mentioned
21 that it isn' t planning to max out its capacity, which is hard to
22 believe that you would build a $4 million building and not max
23 out its potential . If you build a building that size with that
24 many seats, they will come. There is no way to stop them, nor
25 would any pastor of any church want to stop potential guests .
52
1 There is no way mathematically the traffic is not going to
2 either overflow in the gravel lot across Holland Road or spill
3 in the neighborhood more than it currently is .
4
5 In our meeting with the applicant, there has been a notion that
6 they don' t know if they will fill seats and, therefore, don' t
7 think parking will be an issue. Traffic and Engineering doesn' t
8 think Holland Pines and Holland Oaks will see additional traffic
9 in the neighborhood. The church says if parking becomes
10 persistent in the neighborhood and across Holland Road in a
11 gravel lot then they will try other alternatives . With all due
12 respect, the City Officials and all of those involved in this
13 project being treated with all kinds of ifs, maybes, and don't
14 think certain things will happen, we feel this is being treated
15 too much on a reactive basis instead of proactive. As I stated
16 earlier, we don't have a problem with the church, simply the
17 scale of the church. I know my light is blinking.
18
19 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Thank you for recognizing
20 that. Are there any questions for
21 Mr. Cochran?
22
23 COMMISSIONER: Where do you live?
24
25 MARTIN COCHRAN: 1804 Chestwood and Holland Pines .
53
1 Down another block, that' s Bald Eagle.
2
3 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Thank you, sir.
4
5 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is David Elchert.
6
7 DAVID ELCHERT: Mr. Chairman, Fellow Commissioners,
8 my name is David Elchert, and I 've
9 been a resident of Holland Pines for five years. I had some
10 prepared statements, but my colleagues have covered a lot of the
11 points, so I ' ll try to talk only about new things.
12
13 One of the things that I think we haven' t talked much about yet
14 is we 've talked about the parking but not so much about the
15 traffic that could occur in the neighborhood. And as it was
16 mentioned earlier, there ' s going to be a light at Sugar Maple
17 but not at Chestwood. So, what already happens is that there
18 are people that as you know 80% of the people come from the
19 north, and there are already people that are going down Sugar
20 Maple, coming down Bald Eagle, and coming up this way in order
21 to park in the neighborhood.
22
23 Now, there' s going to be a new curb cut for the parking lot at
24 this location here, and so the problem is going to be that with
25 the light down on Holland Road and Sugar Maple people are going
54
1 to want to go through the neighborhood, come around, then go in
2 this new entrance that ' s coming in over here. That ' s going to
3 be a problem, because let' s say that this parking lot fills up.
4 People coming around here and trying to go in there, people
5 coming from Holland Road and trying to go in there and it ' s
6 full, what are they going to do, back up? So, we' re very
7 concerned about the amount of traffic that' s going to be going
8 through the neighborhood. And I think it will be increased
9 traffic because there is already traffic and it will be worse
10 than that.
11
12 And one thing I 'd also like to point out is that, as Martin
13 said, there' s a lot of what ifs . I think even here we've been
14 asking, and Mrs . Oliver also asked some questions about what if
15 we were able to use the parking where the residence is and so
16 on, and there are so many what ifs . I think Martin said it
17 right in that we really are asking for the Commission to not
18 approve this particular application, have the church go back and.
19 figure out one that really works, that satisfies the what ifs,
20 and there ' s a really definite plan to doing that .
21
22 So, thank you for your time. If you have any questions, I 'd be
23 glad to answer them.
24
25 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Thornton?
' III
55
1
2 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: You are aware of the fact, you
3 mentioned the curb cut at Chestwood,
4 there' s going to be new curb cut at Chestwood and Holland Road.
5 That' s not going to be the only way to get in, if you look at
6 that plan.
7
8 DAVID ELCHERT: Right, there' s this one here, which
9 is the one that exists already.
10
11 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: That does, today?
12
13 DAVID ELCHERT: Yes .
14
15 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Well, it ' s going to go into that new
16 parking area. So, you've got the vast
17 majority of the parking for this expansion is going to be
18 through that entrance there, not through the one around the
19 Chestwood the side.
20
21 DAVID ELCHERT: I don' t agree, and the reason is
22 because, as we said in the traffic
23 studies, 80% of the people are coming in this direction.
24
25 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Well, they've got to make a left turn
56
1 or a U-turn.
2
3 DAVID ELCHERT: They' re going to make a left turn
4 here and they' re going to go in that
5 way. And then there' s people that are going to go down Sugar
6 Maple, and they' re going to come down this way to gain entrance
7 to that point, as well.
8
9 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Thank you.
10
11 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Ron Clark.
12
13 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Good afternoon.
14
15 RON CLARK: Good afternoon. My name is Ron
16 Clark. I live on Chestwood Drive.
17 I 'm the second house, second block. I among 98 . 99 of the other
18 residents on Chestwood Drive, Holland Pines, would like to see
19 this entire projects shelved. I saw some conditions this
20 morning for the very, very first time, and, again, I was at the
21 meeting this morning, the first time I had a chance to see these
22 conditions . On the very bottom of the sheet, they' re talking
23 about holding a service on the weeknights; that ' s not going to
24 happen.
25
li
57
1 Remote parking, if that was the case they would have been doing
2 it . They wouldn' t be parking on both sides of Chestwood Drive
3 as they have for quite some time. They'd have done that some
4 time ago. Valet parking isn' t going to happen. Heck, you can' t
5 get sailors to carpool, and you' re going to get people from
6 wherever to carpool? Not going to happen. These are just --
7 and what I heard this morning about all the ideas about
8 compromise, never heard it until this morning, and I 've been to
9 most of these meetings.
10
11 A lot of their numbers aren't right. A lady was trying to get a
12 number count this past Sunday, was met with optimism. My
13 daughter came to visit me this past Sunday, and they' re trained
14 certified crossing guard put his hand inside my daughter' s
15 vehicle. This has been going on and on and on. And I just can'
16 tell you, who, these conditions that I saw today, who is going
17 to modify them? Who' s going to enforce them? Like was said
18 earlier, if there' s all these things that we' re going to do, how
19 come they haven't been done?
20
21 Modifying service times, how come they haven' t been done? I
22 urge you, I besiege you, I 'm not a speaker, I 'm a 29-year Navy
23 Vet, don't ruin our neighborhood by increased traffic worse than
24 it already is . There is parking on both sides of the street
25 down Bald Eagle, and when they double the size, triple the size
58
1 of their sanctuary, it' s got to get worse than what their
2 rough underestimates is. I urge you to listen to the
3 community and table this whole idea and defer it . Just table
4 it. And if you have any questions, I 'd love to try to answer
5 them.
6
7 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Inman?
8
9 COMMISSIONER INMAN: About how long have cars been parked?
10 How many months, years, have cars been
11 parking in front of your house for church services at that
12 church?
13
14 RON CLARK: Not quite in front of my house . I 'm
15 on the second block. They pretty much
16 are on the entire first block and down Bald Eagle, both sides.
17
18 COMMISSIONER INMAN: I 'm interested in what you just told
19 me, but I want to ask again. How many
20 times have they parked in front of your house?
21
22 RON CLARK: My specific house?
23
24 COMMISSIONER INMAN: In front of your house.
25
59
1 RON CLARK: Not yet.
2
3 COMMISSIONER INMAN: Not yet?
4
5 RON CLARK: But we haven' t tripled the size yet,
6 sir.
7
8 COMMISSIONER INMAN: I understand. How long have you
9 observed parking on Bald Eagle Road
10 going on on a significant scale on every Sunday? How long has
11 that been going on?
12
13 RON CLARK: Months, if not years .
14
15 COMMISSIONER INMAN: Can you be a little more precise now,
16 since you live there?
17
18 RON CLARK: I guess, probably since I 've been
19 knowledgeable about this expansion, I
20 guess I 've been more interested in it. Nobody wants a parking
21 lot in their yard. You guys don' t, either.
22
23 COMMISSIONER INMAN: We' re trying to get -- sir, I
24 appreciate what you' re saying -- we ' re
25 trying to get some really precise facts to deal with, because
60
1 that' s what we've got to deal with, so I 'm just asking you if
2 you can quantify at all the length of time that you've seen lots
3 of parking on Sundays, anytime on Sunday, people that appear to
4 be attending this church on Bald Eagle Road, how long has this
5 been going on?
6
7 RON CLARK: Months, if not years .
8
9 COMMISSIONER INMAN: Okay.
10
11 RON CLARK: And wait until it triples.
12
13 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Brockwell?
14
15 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: Do you share your colleague' s
16 sentiment that you would support an
17 expansion just not on the scope that ' s being proposed?
18
19 RON CLARK: I don' t think anybody really has
20 identified that as what they would
21 want. They' re already going to triple the size of that
22 building. They've only got so much place to park. It ' s going
23 to spill right out over back onto our streets as it is, making
24 it difficult to get in and out of our neighborhoods . And I 've
25 asked the pastor this several times, I 've asked the deacons, and
61
1 his staff, if other churches think it' s a good idea to hire a
2 uniformed police officer to direct traffic, such as London
3 Bridge Baptist and Grace Bible, how come they don' t feel it' s
4 important? How come I have personally been cussed at, and how
5 come as late as this past week that individual has put his hand
6 inside my daughter' s vehicle? This guy, while he may be
7 certified, doesn' t make you able to do the job well . All that
8 individual is doing is fostering continued scuffling between the.
9 church and the neighbors who live there.
10
11 The neighbors in that community do not want this expansion,
12 period, do not . We all -- it ' s growing and growing and growing,
13 but there ' s a very strong presence that, well, because the Salem
14 Road project wasn' t afforded to them, now this one is going to
15 get through come hell or high water. That' s what the community
16 people think. I 'm just being honest . There is going to be
17 wheels greased so that this project takes place. The community
18 believes that there' s many backdoor conversations, and this will.
19 happen whether we want it or not. That ' s what the neighbors
20 believe, and that ' s sad. No matter the facts, that' s the
21 perception.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other? Mr. Thornton?
24
25 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Let me make sure I understand what I
62
1 think I just heard you say. Even if
2 the parking gets fixed, the neighborhood and the community does
3 not want this church to grow.
4
5 RON CLARK: You' re making it sound like we' re
6 heartless .
7
8 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: No, no.
9
10 RON CLARK: You' re making it sound like we ' re not
11 God-loving people. I 'm a saved
12 Christian. I attend every Sunday, basically, but what you' re
13 making it sound like, we' re against the church.
14
15 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: No, I --
16
17 RON CLARK: What we' re against is encroaching
18 into our neighborhood. They wanted to
19 leave and chose not to. There just isn't the numbers and the
20 math, the arithmetic, 2 and 2 is never going to be 6. I don' t
21 care how bad the people behind the back doors want it to be, 2
22 and 2 is never going to be 6. It ' s just not. And this school
23 for the bad boys, nobody wants that, as well. That ' s been
24 forced upon us, as well. All these --

63
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, hold your comments .
2
3 RON CLARK: -- anyway, I just want to reiterate
4 the fact that overwhelmingly the
5 community, the neighbors of Holland Pines, do not want that
6 expansion.
7
8 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions for Mr. Clark?
9 Thank you, sir.
10
11 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Lisa Hartman.
12
13 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Good afternoon.
14
15 LISA HARTMAN: Hi . I 'm representing Christopher
16 Farms neighborhood, so do I get ten
17 minutes? I 'm the Vice President of the Home Owners '
18 Association.
19
20 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Sure, yes .
21
22 LISA HARTMAN: I 'm sorry, just one minute. I wasn' t
23 prepared to come right up. I was
24 thinking it was going to take a while for me to come up.
25 There' s no denying the historical aspect of the church. The
64
1 original two churches were actually across Holland Road close to
2 where some of the founding members, the pastors, are buried, and
3 the graves are still existing today. They've been uplifting the
4 community for many years . There is no denying that they've had
5 a positive impact on the community.
6
7 Piney Grove Baptist Church has a conditional use permit for its
8 current AG-2 zoning. The conditional use permit was approved
9 October 12, 2009, and it was for the portable building that
10 actually was only for five years, so that expired in October of
11 2014 . So, I 'm sure that they' re using it and maybe that' s
12 non-conforming anyway. The problem exists with not the church
13 in the community and the people that go there. It ' s really the
14 traffic problem. I know it presents a problem for their
15 neighborhood and Holland Pines and Woods of Piney Grove, but it
16 also is not going to start affecting Christopher Farms .
17
18 On their current three busiest Sundays of the year, they use
19 Christopher Farms Elementary as a satellite site to take people
20 back and forth to Piney Grove Baptist Church. Three days a year
21 is not a big deal, but their current parking lot is not
22 sufficient to meet the needs that they have and then continuing
23 to grow that is also not going to meet the need. While it meets
24 the City' s code, the one space for every five people, in reality
25 it' s more like a 1 : 2 ratio.
65
1
2 And even a lot of the people that represent churches and help
3 them grow recommend one space for every two people. But what' s
4 going to happen is they' re going to start having to use that
5 overflow parking more and more as Holland Road is expanded.
6 Even this past Sunday they were outside of where they've already
7 marked off for Holland Road to be expanded. They were parked on.
8 the Holland Road side of that, even though it was still their
9 property, or actually they may have sold it to the City, but
10 they were outside of that. So, they are exploding. And as
11 wonderful as that is for a church, it' s not great for traffic
12 and the situation of the safety of the parishioners, but also
13 the safety of the people of the neighborhood.
14
15 And now we' re going to add extra impact to Holland Road that
16 we' re spending $58 million. It' s VDOT, it' s not just the City;
17 it' s a State-funded project that combines with the Seaboard Road.
18 and Princess Anne Road and Nimmo Parkway expansion, which is a
19 total of $108 million they've put into this area to redirect
20 traffic. Holland Road is going to be a major thoroughfare in
21 this -- or a minor artery in this area. So, when they start
22 taking people from -- shuttling people to Christopher Farms
23 Elementary, to get to Christopher Farms Elementary, you actually
24 have to drive into our neighborhood. It' s not accessible from
25 Holland Road. So, that' s going to present a problem for our
66
1 neighborhood.
2
3 And traffic is already getting really bad from the new -- from
4 the Holland Road expansion. It' s not going to be finished until
5 2017 . I don't foresee this getting any better with the church.
6 Another thing that I wanted to point out is that while the
7 church has owned the property that it' s currently on for many
8 years, when you pull the deed it' s dated- July 5, 1776. And
9 while I love the history of the church, I 've actually researched
10 a lot of the history with the church for other projects, but the
11 property they purchased adjacent to it actually was just
12 purchased last year, it ' s zoned, it was zoned AG-2, it' s still
13 zoned AG-2, and if you treat that independently one of the
14 neighbors wouldn' t have been able to buy that property, raze the
15 house, and develop a parking lot.
16
17 So, they' re separate properties . There may be some things that
18 are grandfathered because of the date of their deed for the
19 property where the church is, but understand that that property
20 adjacent to it where they want to raze the house and build a
21 parking lot is next door, and it was just purchased. So,
22 putting a parking lot on an AG-2 is not permissible under
23 conditional use nor AG-2 zoning.
24
25 So, I think combining the two, knowing they were purchased at
67
1 different times is a little bit, I don' t know the word I 'm
2 trying to think of, but it' s just by combining the two it ' s
3 almost like they' re trying to force it when really you should
4 look at it in a vacuum. It' s just like if the neighbor next
5 door to that had bought that home and they wanted to put a
6 parking lot, it just wouldn't be allowed.
7
8 Additionally, one of the things about the parking, it was funny
9 because while I 've been traveling Holland Road for many years on.
10 Sundays, and every now and then I get stopped by people walking
11 across to the church, and it' s just something you have to
12 account for on Sundays understanding the time. It wasn't until
13 this past weekend when I was taking my son to a friend' s house
14 in Holland Pines, and when I pulled onto the street it is lined
15 on both sides. The entrance to the neighborhood is lined on
16 both sides; the entire length of the street, both sides.
17 There ' s a median in the middle, so there' s room for one car on
18 one side and one car on the other, but just one car.
19
20 When you get up to where the median ends, I actually had to kind
21 of pull over behind one of the parked cars to let a very small
22 car through. I don' t have a giant vehicle. But there wasn' t
23 enough room for two of us to get through where it actually
24 bottlenecks and there' s people lined on both sides of the
25 street. I was shocked to see how many cars were in that
68
1 neighborhood, I really was . I 've always seen the parking lot
2 full, the lot across the street full, but within that
3 neighborhood it was excessive.
4
5 I just think allowing them to expand beyond their current
6 footprint what they' re actually able to house within their
7 boundaries is not conducive to not only the neighborhood but
8 everybody that travels and that paid for those roads. The $118
9 million that went into those roads to stop a four-lane traffic
10 for people to go back and forth is ridiculous . And also, if you.
11 go to where the median is, the current, there is not going to be
12 access . I know somebody kind of brushed on that a little bit,
13 but there' s not going to be any access turning left except to go
14 onto Chestwood Drive. So, they would essentially have to make a
15 U-turn or turn onto Chestwood Drive.
16
17 And I understood that the conditions would be where the parking
18 lot is that' s all the property that they purchased last year.
19 So, it' s essentially they purchased a property put in a parking
20 lot, but it' s AG-2 . You can' t do that with AG-2, nor can you do
21 that with AG-2 Conditional Zoning, put in a parking lot. They
22 also are using the parking lot across the street. They've been
23 doing that for many years. And just something struck me kind of
24 funny, and I 'm wondering how they' re able to use that weekly
25 without a permit or a special permit, yet in Pungo recently you
69
1 just had the same situation where somebody was trying to use
2 property without a permit, a special permit, and they were
3 actually blocked by police. So, I 'm not sure that I understand
4 why they' re allowed to do it without a permit and other people
5 can't. That was just a side thing.
6
7 So, when you come along, there' s a median. What Traffic and
8 Engineering said is that they can not put two entrances in so
9 that people can access it back from Chestwood Bend making a left
10 into there. It' s too close to the turn into Chestwood. There
11 will not be a light there or a flashing light or anything. So,
12 I mean, it ' s going to be problematic, and I 'm not sure that as a
13 church goer I go to a church that we cross a divided highway to
14 go to the church. There would be no one waiting for a shuttle
15 to go across . I mean, we'd be walking across the parking lot.
16 There' s people now that don' t even wait going to my church at
17 the sidewalk. I mean, they' re just walking across the street.
18 It' s a beach. It' s very busy down there in the summertime and
19 there' s always problems .
20
21 With this being an arterial road in this area and trying to
22 steer traffic away from Princess Anne Road with the building of
23 Nimmo, Seaboard, and expansion of Princess Anne, this is going
24 to cause a problem. This is going to add extra traffic onto the
25 road, and it ' s not just Sunday. They start service at 7 : 45 and
70
1 in-between the services they have a Bible study. It' s going to
2 be weddings . It' s going to be church. It ' s going to be
3 funerals. It' s going to be Wednesday night services. It ' s
4 going to be everything that they do, every ministry that they
5 have is going to affect the traffic in the area. So, I just
6 want that to be considered.
7
8 The 420 people that they currently have, or the 420 seats that
9 they currently have, if they expand to the 835, even if 70% of
10 the people come, if they only fill at 70%, at 80% it feels full .
11 At 70% capacity they are going to need an additional 111 spaces
12 in addition to the 118, based on one space for every two people.
13 So, I mean, I feel like you' re almost setting them up for
14 failure by allowing this to happen. They' re going to expand
15 beyond their capabilities, and then they are going to want to
16 raze the house. Even if they' re not going to now, they' re going
17 to have to or want to in the future just to continue, just to be
18 able to support what they already have, which it will affect the
19 neighborhood.
20
21 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions for Mrs. Hartman?
22 Thank you.
23
24 LISA HARTMAN: Really? That guy stood up here for
25 so long.
71
1
2 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Robert Valentine.
3
4 ROBERT VALENTINE: Good afternoon, Commissioners .
5
6 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Good afternoon.
7
8 ROBERT VALENTINE: My name is Robert Valentine. I 'm a
9 13-year resident of Holland Pines and
10 a 25-year veteran of the Virginia Beach Fire Department,
11 recently retired. It ' s important to know that every concern
12 raised by the residents today all goes back to one key factor:
13 Safety of the community, its residents, as well as the safety of
14 the church parishioners .
15
16 Safety is relative to the insufficient parking which currently
17 exists and will only get worse with the expansion, as well as
18 the increased traffic on our community streets by parishioners
19 where children and residents play, walk, and bike.
20 Additionally, parishioners walk from their cars in our community
21 streets to the church with no sidewalks . We have repeatedly
22 been told that there are some churches in our communities that
23 have no issues like we do. No other church in the City relies
24 on the neighboring for so much of its parking as Piney Grove
25 Baptist Church does with Holland Pines . All of the other
72
1 churches are self-contained and they have adequate parking on
2 their own campus without affecting the surrounding communities .
3
4 In referencing the facts, the TIA' s numbers don' t lie. The
5 City' s guide of five passengers to one car is unrealistic. The
6 TIA figures actually show 2 .3 passengers per vehicle with their
7 current 435-seat sanctuary. Based on those factual figures, the
8 proposed expansion, which will have 181 parking spaces is
9 actually and ironically enough to accommodate their current
10 congregation and their current number of vehicles parking on
11 Sunday.
12
13 Page 9 of the TIA states on Sunday, September 28, there were 62
14 vehicles in the main parking lot, 69 vehicles across Holland
15 Road in the overflow parking lot, and 49 vehicles using
16 on-street parking in the community, totalling 180 cars . Based
17 on the TIA figures, the 835-seat expansion would actually need
18 or require 363 parking spaces . They don' t have the land for
19 this, which means that many more cars will be parked and
20 traversing through Holland Pines and Holland Oaks. Many of
21 these cars will traverse through the communities multiple times
22 trying to access the limited and insufficient church parking
23 again, causing major safety issues .
24
25 Holland Pines has been an exceptionally good neighbor to the
111
73
1 church for 20 years. Having said that, there is a reasonable
2 amount of parking and traffic and then there is unreasonable.
3 Their expansion will create unreasonable increase that affects
4 our safety and quality of life. The church has a dirt lot
5 across Holland Road, which is currently being used on a weekly
6 basis . They have proposed that they could put 200 cars in that
7 lot in the future as a counter measure for parking needs, yet
8 the City has repeatedly said they do not want pedestrians
9 crossing a four-lane road without a stoplight .
10
11 In addition, the community adjacent to this lot could petition
12 the CUP for that lot in their backyards . This possible option
13 to accommodate the expansion is unrealistic. At best, it should.
14 be taken off the table for both of these reasons . Why in the
15 world would the Planning Commission even entertain the expansion.
16 when the church can' t even resolve their current parking
17 problems without relying so heavily on the community? Thank
18 you.
19
20 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions? Thank you very much.
21
22 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Donna Willey.
23
24 DONNA WILLEY: I 'm a little nervous, so, please,
25 bear with me. I did want to comment
74
1 on the statement that was made "well, the church could ask us to
2 move, as well" .
3
4 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Can you pull the mike down just a
5 little bit?
6
7 DONNA WILLEY: In reference to the comment that you
8 made, the church could very well ask
9 us why don' t we move, the church was well aware that these 600
10 homes have resided here before their expansion plans began.
11 We' re not the ones expanding. I just wanted to kind of make
12 note of that. And we have sent pictures that do show cars
13 parking throughout our neighborhood. My church -- I mean, my
14 house is right beside the house that is in question of being
15 demolished, so I can tell you I 've lived there for 18 years and
16 the cars are always parked down my street, in front of my
17 house, in front of other homes, and that' s been continuous for
18 18 years every Sunday. I just wanted to kind of --
19
20 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Can you use the pointer to show where
21 your house is just in reference?
22 There' s a pointer right in front of you there, just for
23 reference.
24
25 DONNA WILLEY: Bald Eagle Road is right here. I 'm
75
1 on the corner of Bald Eagle Bend right
2 here.
3
4 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Okay.
5
6 DONNA WILLEY: My house is right there on the
7 corner. It is right next door to the
8 house in question of being demolished. But I would ask for you
9 all to refer to your pictures in concerns with the cars being
10 parked and how many and how often, because this is a regular
11 occurrence, and I have lived here for 18 years.
12
13 My name is Donna Willey, and I have been a resident of Holland
14 Pines for over 18 years . This is a very family-friendly
15 community where many of us spend many a time outdoors with our
16 families . This expansion at the current proposed size will not
17 benefit our neighborhood and will increase traffic flow and
18 parking on our streets . This desperately needs to be scaled
19 back. We are not opposed to the expansion. We' re just exposed
20 to the size of the expansion and the parking. The church did
21 pursue land elsewhere with a desire to relocate their
22 congregation and did purchase 12 acres . That was their desire
23 in moving farther away from their current site.
24
25 In regards to the pastor stating that Piney Grove Baptist Church
76
1 has 100-plus years history here and how important it is for them
2 to stay here, I find that statement disingenuous . This is a
3 residential neighborhood. Why should a residential lot be
4 considered an option for a parking lot? Ask yourselves, would
5 you be happy with a parking lot next to your house instead of a
6 home? We would like to see the parking issues as part of this
7 application now and not after getting the building permit.
8 These parking conditions are too vague. The parking conditions
9 needed to be clearly stated in these conditions.
10
11 A couple of comments, I did want to bring up adding a third
12 service. Pastor did poll his church members last summer, and
13 out of 600 members only 20 would consider attending a third
14 service. So, that option hasn' t been implemented yet. Shuttle
15 service hasn' t been implemented yet, and there' s still overflow
16 parking in our streets, so those are our concerns.
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: I 'm sorry, your time is up. Are
19 there any questions for Mrs . Willey;
20 is that correct? Yes, David?
21
22 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Mr. Kemp, can you go back to, I
23 guess, the satellite shot? There you
24 go, right there. Can you show us where your house is right
25 there, please?
77
1
2 DONNA WILLEY: Bald Eagle Bend, right here.
3
4 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Okay. So, you' re a little farther
5 down. Now, across the street from
6 you, I know we were there not too long ago, that's woods right
7 there across the street? There' s no houses in there, in other
8 words?
9
10 DONNA WILLEY: This is my house. This is the
11 cul-de-sac.
12
13 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Across the street.
14
15 DONNA WILLEY: Across the street?
16
17 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Yes . Woods?
18
19 DONNA WILLEY: This is a wooded lot.
20
21 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Now, suppose this does happen and
22 those woods go away but that house
23 stays there. You' re going to see nothing but a big parking lot
24 right behind you because all of the trees are going to be gone.
25
78
1
2 DONNA WILLEY: Right.
3
4 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Wouldn' t you rather see something
5 buffered around there to hide the
6 parking lot?
7
8 DONNA WILLEY: Next door to my house?
9
10 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Uh-huh.
11
12 DONNA WILLEY: I wouldn't want a parking lot beside
13 my house. I would like to see a home
14 beside my house. I think that' s --
15
16 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Never heard anything about that --
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Excuse me, sir. Please, hold your
19 comments .
20
21 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Okay.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Mrs . Kwasny?
24
25 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I have a question. So, I keep
1 ill
79
1 hearing, Mrs. Willey, that there ' s a
2 concern about the expansion of the church. But my worry in
3 listening today to your various community speakers is that
4 there' s no way to address the expansion. I haven' t heard any
5 way to address that expansion that would also address the
6 parking and the traffic. So, do you have any ideas for me,
7 because I can understand the concern over the what ifs and that
8 there' s too many what ifs and not enough guarantee?
9
10 And I think there ' s a value to being proactive versus reactive,
11 absolutely, and I think I would feel more comfortable if there
12 was a sense of guarantee, although kind of with the caveat that
13 at some point you' ll have to trust that something is going to
14 work. So, if the church, you know, willy-nilly here, were
15 willing to reduce their expansion, is there a compromise point
16 from the neighborhood? Because while your statement asks "would
17 you want a parking lot next to your house", I 've had to think
18 long and hard about that, and, frankly, if it were buffered
19 Category 6 and it was going to be a parking lot and it had
20 rather pervious pavers and it was well cared for, personally,
21 I 'd rather a parking lot than take my chances on renters. I
22 have no idea who they are and they can be in and out every year,
23 and it' s not a guaranteed residence. So, my answer to that is
24 I 'd prefer the parking lot because that would allow the church
25 to expand close to the way it wants to.
III
80
1
2 But if the church were willing to draw back a little bit, I
3 would feel as though you would also need to figure out how you
4 can help them address the parking that even a minimal reduction
5 would require. Even if they came back 15% to 20%, which is a
6 lot when you' re working on scaling back a building, even if they
7 were willing to come down that little bit, you'd still have to
8 address parking somehow. It still wouldn' t be appeased in your
9 minds using a ratio of 2 : 1; do you see what I mean? So, what
10 kind of offer can come forward from the community if the
11 Commission were to go in a way of deferral, which I know people
12 don't want because it ' s kind of putting off the inevitable, but
13 if the Commission were thinking to themselves "what can we do to
14 start addressing some of these what ifs", I think I need to hear
15 not "no, no, no, nothing is going to do", but what is going to
16 do?
17
18 DONNA WILLEY: Well, in reference to responding to
19 your question as far as having a
20 parking lot, it ' s we bought our homes in a residential area.
21 There is a house next to me. Had there been a parking lot, I
22 wouldn' t have bought it. I just think that should be taken into
23 consideration. As far as asking for the church to reduce their
24 expansion, why is there a need for 835 seats . If they' re saying
25 they' re going to have a third service, even with this house
81
1 being demolished, there will not be enough parking for 835
2 members . So, we' re asking for the expansion size to be reduced.
3 Even when that house is demolished, there is barely enough
4 parking. There were 217 cars last Sunday at the service. I
5 believe adding 40 or 50 more spots, that would only give them an
6 additional 30 parking spaces for anticipated growth.
7
8 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: Okay. So --
9
10 DONNA WILLEY: So, right now, right now they' re over
11 capacity in parking. They do not have
12 enough parking. It ' s an issue. One of the options the Planning
13 Department outlined is "hey, we can still use a residential
14 street for parking", so that' s already showing that ' s not enough
15 parking. Whether they knock the house down or don' t even reduce
16 the expansion, there simply is not enough parking right now for
17 current membership, let alone anticipated growth. So, by
18 knocking down that house, we' re still going to be faced with
19 parking on our residential streets . So, why not address that
20 issue? And I think it kind of goes hand in hand with reducing
21 the expansion. There' s 835 seats . They say they won't fill
22 these 835 seats, so let' s bring it down to 600 seats . Why does
23 the expansion have to be of such proportion, this scale?
24
25 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I guess, that' s where I wanted you to
82
1 go, to give me what your ideas were in
2 mind regarding reduction of the expansion.
3
4 DONNA WILLEY: They want to have 835 seats so they
5 can host weddings and funerals and so
6 forth. Where will all those cars go, even demolishing the
7 house? So, we are trying to work with the church. We have been
8 working with them. We don' t want to see this house demolished
9 to make way for parking. They stated that "hey, in a few years
10 we may outgrow and be gone"; then we ' re going to be faced with a
11 parking lot next door and this huge expansion. So, we have to
12 look into the foreseeable future, as well . I mean, we
13 understand they need a place to worship, but these are our homes
14 365 days a year, as well . We ' re only asking for reducing
15 expansion so that they have adequate parking on site; not
16 seeking parking on additional residential streets. I don' t
17 think a builder or developer could build anything and say "hey,
18 I 'm going to rely on these City streets or these residential
19 streets for parking" . So, why should this be allowed for any
20 other business?
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mrs . Oliver, did you have a question?
23
24 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: No, thank you.
25
83
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Thank you.
2
3 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Dave Willey --
4 okay, then our next speaker is Al
5 Whitehurst.
6
7 AL WHITEHURST, JR. : Good afternoon. I 'm Al Whitehurst,
8 Jr. , and I 've lived in Holland Pines
9 for almost 20 years now. I 'm going to ask that you deny the
10 CUP. There' s a lot of reasons, but I just want to hit on two in
11 the time that I 'm allotted. One, the size and scope of this
12 just does not fit the neighborhood. It ' s way too big. And then
13 property values, if this is approved, you know, we ' ll have five
14 homes .
15
16 You said you wouldn't mind living by a parking lot . I wouldn' t
17 buy a home backed up to a parking lot. We' ll have five homes
18 that now back up to grass and trees that will be backing up to a
19 parking lot. This 10-foot buffer, that sounds nice. That' s 10
20 of my shoes like this . There' s hardly any room to put any
21 landscaping there anyway. You' re still backing up to a parking
22 lot and all the noise, not just the aesthetics, the noise, the
23 lights at night, those homes are clearly going to go down in
24 value. Of course, when they go to sell, we've got to live with
25 their comps if we go to sell our homes . That ' s a lot to ask on
84
1 the community, five homes to back up to a parking lot. That' s
2 an awful lot to ask.
3
4 The parking, I think the thing on this is we' re trying to solve
5 something that can't be solved. We have two different agendas
6 here. The church wants to grow, and that ' s great, but we want
7 to protect our lifestyles and our homes, and that' s also good.
8 Mr. Russo, I thought your question to that gentleman was a cheap
9 shot. He lives there. He works hard to make his money. He
10 pays for that property. You ask him, "Why don' t you move?" I
11 really thought that was outrageous . We 've got two good guys
12 here. This is not like pro wrestling was the good guy and a bad
13 guy. We' re protecting our interests . They' re protecting
14 theirs . There ' s just not enough land to get this done, not
15 safely, and what land there is is divided by what' s going to be
16 a four lane highway, really, because if you think they' re going
17 to go 45 there, they' re going to be barrelling down there at 50,
18 55, and 60. That' s the reality and that' s what you've got to
19 plan for. And even the good pastor, himself, comments on how it
20 was going to be difficult to implement the shuttle program.
21
22 So, I just don' t think we've got something here that can be
23 resolved. Yes, we'd like to take a look at some figures if it ' s
24 scaled down, but it' s hard for us . We ' re not planners . This is
25 not what we do for a living. But we 'd like to look at
85
1 something. I 'm not saying we ' re going to summarily reject
2 everything, but we've got a real problem with the size and scope
3 of this thing. Just to give you an example, if this thing comes
4 through and they have a full house with the parking lot that ' s
5 there now, you' re going to have 182 cars looking for a place to
6 park. If you tear the house down, you' re still going to have
7 132 cars, and then you' re really impacting our neighborhood by
8 paving a parking lot into our neighborhood.
9
10 I see my time is running out. I guess, just the big thing is
11 this. We aren' t opposed to the church at all . We'd love to
12 work out some sort of solution here, but this is just way too
13 big. It' s the definition of bad planning, and, safety, it ' s a
14 prescription for a real tragedy. Thank you.
15
16 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions for Mr. Whitehurst?
17 Mr. Thornton?
18
19 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: If the entire lot were paved, and I
20 know you don' t want that a parking
21 lot, but if all of the parking that can be put on the property
22 that they bought would limit the size of the sanctuary on a 1 : 5
23 ratio so that theoretically all of the cars, all of the people
24 that went to that new sanctuary could park on their own parcel
25 on site, is that something you all would consider?
86
1
2 AL WHITEHURST: Well, here' s the conflict where it' s
3 tough to --
4
5 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: And no parking across the street;
6 that would be Mother' s Day and
7 Christmas and Easter, to keep people from wandering across
8 Holland Road, you limited the size of the sanctuary to the
9 parking on site, would that matter?
10
11 AL WHITEHURST: Well, this is where it' s such a
12 difficult problem.
13
14 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: At a 1 : 5 ratio?
15
16 AL WHITEHURST: The 1 : 5, now, I think is --
17
18 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Twice code.
19
20 AL WHITEHURST: -- 1 : 5 is fantasy land. It ' s about
21 2 . 3 people per car.
22
23 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: I 'm sorry. I 'm going the other way;
24 1 . 3, Code is 1 . 5, so make it 1 .2 .
25
87
1 AL WHITEHURST: Well, 2 . 3 is what the numbers we have
2 for our count has been coming up.
3 Well, I mean, yes, but here' s where the problem is, though, with
4 us is you' re tearing down a house, paving a parking lot into an
5 existing community where you' re going to be putting a parking
6 lot between two homes .
7
8 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Well, the alternative is to keep the
9 cars on the street because there' s no
10 provision to towing people parking on public roads .
11
12 AL WHITEHURST: I guess, the answer to your question
13 is this. I can only answer this for
14 me, personally. I would love to see, we've got a lot of
15 professionals, you people know what you' re doing, got a lot of
16 professionals in the City, if something could be devised to
17 where that lot across the street could be utilized and safely
18 people could come aboard, come across, something like that, I
19 would prefer that versus tearing a house down in our
20 neighborhood and further degrading property values for more
21 homes . We 've got to live with that, and if something, it just
22 seems to be some alternative, shuttle thing sounds possible,
23 some alternative to get the people safely across the street, we
24 have no problem. Me, personally, I do not want that house to
25 come down. I think that would look horrible in the front of our
88
1 neighborhood.
2
3 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions for
4 Mr. Whitehurst? Thank you, sir.
5
6 AL WHITEHURST: Thank you. I appreciate it.
7
8 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Christine
9 Whitehurst.
10
11 CHRISTINE WHITEHURST: Good afternoon. My name is Christine
12 Whitehurst. I have lived in Holland
13 Pines for 20 years . At our community meeting last week, Pastor
14 Williams stated that we, the community, can not have our cake
15 and eat it, too. He stated we had to choose between safety and
16 the character, charm, and integrity of our neighborhood. Why is
17 it that a church that clearly has overgrown their land forced
18 the community to have to choose? We are all happy the church is
19 growing by leaps and bounds, but then, again, why do 500
20 property owners have to give up so much?
21
22 If we allow this to go through as it is, you, the Planning
23 Commission, are being derelict in your duties . By that, I mean,
24 you' re not planning; you' re allowing a church that obviously has
25 overgrown its land to infiltrate our neighborhood. The
89
1 conditions placed on the CUP are only a band-aid on a gaping
2 wound. It is forcing the neighborhood to please the church and
3 this in turn will certainly cause an us-versus-them mentality
4 instead of having the church and the neighborhood work together.
5
6 So, instead of us being able to relax and enjoy our time off
7 from work or being able to attend our own Sunday services, we
8 have to count cars and take pictures to provide to the City so
9 these conditions can be enforced. The new proposal only gives
10 them a total of 181 spots. Now, if we tear down the house next
11 door to put in the additional spaces, let' s say it would give
12 them 50 more spots; 181 plus 50 is 231 spaces . Now, this past
13 Sunday, I, personally counted 217 cars, leaving only 14 empty
14 spaces, based on increasing the spots tearing down the house .
15
16 Again, these numbers are before the church expands and
17 membership grows . They certainly aren' t spending all of this
18 money not to grow. If they were to grow to where they' re
19 filling all 835 seats, that ' s a total of 363 cars for either 181
20 or 231 parking spaces, again, leaving 132 to 182 cars looking
21 for parking. A total of four Sundays had cars in attendance
22 counted either by the church, TIA, or us, the residents . Three
23 out of four of those dates had over 200 cars . That 's 75% of the
24 time they were already maxed out of their expanding parking
25 proposal.
90
1
2 Their per car ratio is 2 . 3 people, based on the numbers that the
3 church has supplied us. It would only take approximately six
4 families joining that church to max out available parking. And,
5 again, the expansion has not even occurred. So, a very short
6 time from now, we have a large church that has placed a parking
7 lot between two homes on an interior residential street and has
8 outgrown its parking expansion. Now, what do we do? Is that
9 how we want our City to look?
10
11 And the CUP application of the Comprehensive Plan states this
12 site is located within a suburban area where planning principles
13 call for preserving and protecting character and stability of
14 residential neighborhoods. It' s impossible to say this CUP
15 proposal does that.
16
17 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Any questions for
18 Mrs . Whitehurst? Thank you for coming
19 down.
20
21 SECRETARY RUSSO: Our next speaker is Sharon Brennan.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Good afternoon.
24
25 SHARON BRENNAN: Good afternoon. Hi. Well, the
91.
1 residents have --
2
3 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, state your name, for the
4 record?
5
6 SHARON BRENNAN: -- I 'm sorry, Sharon Brennan.
7
8 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
9
10 SHARON BRENNAN: The residents have stated a lot of
11 concerns, and I don' t want to keep
12 going over all of that information. You have a lot of the
13 facts . You have the statistics . You have the traffic study.
14 You have that information. I just want to urge you that this is
15 a residential area. We do have kids, and it is a safety issue,
16 as far as once you open up that area on Chestwood that now
17 becomes not a residential road but almost a, I won' t say
18 commercial road, but, I mean, it is for commercial vehicles
19 going to church, because a church is, you know, technically a, I
20 won't say a business, but it is a business, so to speak, I mean,
21 as far as traffic goes . But in any case, I just want to urge
22 you to really think about the safety of our children.
23
24 So, the expansion of the road to a four-lane highway, there' s
25 going to be a divider right here. I know somebody else
92
1 previously said it, but people are going to be coming down Dam
2 Neck and turning, and they' re not going to come, you know, they
3 may come down here and turn in here, but when it ' s time for the
4 church to leave they may also go down this way, down Bald Eagle,
5 down Sugar Maple where there' s going to be a light. There' s not.
6 going to be a light on Chestwood, but there' s going to be a
7 light on Sugar Maple, and they' re going to turn either in or out.
8 of the neighborhood.
9
10 So, I just urge you to just take in all of the facts and take 30
11 minutes of your time, drive out to our area on a Sunday, look at
12 it, look at the traffic pattern, look at what the road is going
13 to look like when they' re finished with the four-lane highway,
14 and, you know, just take a look at all the facts . Look at
15 pictures and everything and just take that time to think about
16 if this was your neighborhood how would you feel about the vast
17 size of the expansion. And there could be potentially triple
18 the amount of cars that are on the streets right now. That' s
19 it. Thank you.
20
21 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you. Are there any questions?
22 Thanks . You may be seated.
23
24 SECRETARY RUSSO: The last speaker is Dave Willey.
25
93
1 DAVE WILLEY: Hi. I 'm Dave Willey. Sorry I was
2 late earlier. Excuse me. I 'm sure
3 that everybody has already covered the main points, but to me
4 I 'm just looking at numbers . I think that when you look at the
5 traffic numbers that we've been given by the City, and this was
6 relatively recently in the last month or so, we didn' t realize
7 it was as many cars as there were. So, when we look at the
8 numbers they have now for the congregation they have now and we
9 see they' re building a church that ' s double that, it seems
10 obvious to most people that the parking would double.
11
12 The CUP you guys have in front of you right now doesn't address
13 that; in my opinion, it doesn' t address it. It gives about a
14 third of the parking places required. There is the parking lot
15 across the street . There' s options for even valet parking or
16 something like that that was put in the conditions yesterday,
17 but those are all band-aids . If you've got a CUP that has a
18 bunch of band-aids on it, I would hope that you guys would look
19 at it and say "go back to the drawing board, come back with a
20 better CUP, and we' ll consider it", but that' s what we' re hoping
21 you guys do for us. See the same numbers we' re seeing, seeing
22 that they set their sights a little too high, and ask them to
23 come back and give you something that makes sense. Is that
24 unreasonable? Like I said, short and sweet.
25
94
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any questions? Thank you, sir.
2
3 SECRETARY RUSSO: Mr. Chairman, that's all the speakers
4 that we have.
5
6 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Williams, would you like a chance
7 for rebuttal?
8
9 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Yes . Again, I want to thank you guys
10 for hearing both sides, those that
11 were for and those that were against .
12
13 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, state your name, just for the
14 record?
15
16 PASTOR WILLIAMS: D. L. Williams, I 'm sorry.
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
19
20 PASTOR WILLIAMS: I think that it should be clear now
21 exactly what Piney Grove Baptist
22 Church has been up against when it comes to trying to compromise
23 with our neighbors. As difficult as it was for you to get a
24 clear understanding from those that spoke oppositional, it' s
25 been just that difficult for us to hit this moving target that
95
1 has been put in our path to try to expand our church.
2
3 A couple of things that were mentioned when Brother Kevin got
4 up, he made some notes on a few words that he highlighted. One
5 word was "stark" . One word was "robust" . He also used a word
6 that I found to be very offensive, which was an "encroachment" .
7 The definition for an encroachment is an intrusion on personal
8 territory. You all know that we are proposing to expand on our
9 property, property that we own. If he considers our expansion
10 an encroachment, that means that he' s considering the
11 neighborhood to be his territory when the neighborhood equally
12 belongs to us all . So, I 'm very offended by that word
13 encroachment. Piney Grove Baptist Church is not encroaching on
14 anything. All we want to do is have the fair opportunity to
15 expand and meet the City Codes and expand on the property that
16 we own.
17
18 Last month, we did have two Sundays where our 11 : 00 service we
19 did see a little over 200 cars; not this past Sunday. A couple
20 of people said this past Sunday we had 217 cars . I will argue
21 that that was inaccurate. We do a count every Sunday of how
22 many worship attendees we have and how many cars we have. Our
23 count was 187 cars for this past Sunday. Now, last month we did
24 have a little over 200 cars . One Sunday, I know for sure we had
25 205 cars, and another Sunday I want to say we had about 211
96
1 cars . However, we had two special services back to back. One
2 service was celebrating our 145-year church anniversary, which,
3 of course, is going to bring a lot of people from other churches
4 to come help us celebrate, as well as we had Mother' s Day, and
5 that' s one of our special services that we have an influx of
6 attendance. People come and worship with their mother.
7
8 Again, on average, we don' t have over 200 cars for our 11 : 00
9 service. Kevin also said that he did a count of 69 on site, 62
10 off site, and 49 in the community. I add that up to be about
11 180 . If we tear the home, which we've been talking about, we' re
12 talking about having 240-plus parking ability on site, not to
13 mention the overflow that we maybe can use for special services .
14 To me, the mouth says that we would have more than enough
15 parking for what we need for that particular service.
16
17 The traffic engineer has already done a professional study. We
18 keep talking about traffic, traffic, traffic. That ' s been a
19 professional study that has said that there will not be a
20 negative impact on the traffic if we do this expansion project.
21 This is a person who' s on your staff. This is a person who' s
22 done this time and time and time again. He has given a
23 professional assessment that we have paid thousands of dollars
24 for to give you the accurate information that there will not be
25 a negative impact for this project.
97
1
2 The question was raised, who' s liable if a child gets hit . I
3 want to argue that with the current conditions that we have it' s
4 more dangerous and more probable that a child would get hit
5 right now than it is if we do this expansion project, which is
6 built to remove cars out of the neighborhood and not have them
7 inside of the neighborhood.
8
9 Last couple of notes, Mr. Ron said that he' s ben to every single
10 meeting that we 've had, and this is the first time that he has
11 heard these compromises or these conditions . Either he zoned
12 out during these meetings or he just wasn't listening very well .
13 He went to sleep. Sister Barbara Henley has been in attendance
14 to every single meeting. Christina Gay has been at these
15 meetings, Brother Doug Smith has attended a couple of these
16 meetings . We've always had staff from the City to attend these
17 meetings . They can attest to the leg work that we have done to
18 work with our community and to come with a compromise. So,
19 that' s completely false.
20
21 The last thing that I want to add is it was said that the church
22 has a bunch of what ifs. The community wants us to value their
23 what ifs, but they want to not recognize their own what ifs .
24 They have a lot of what ifs of their own. One of their what ifs
25 is what if the church grows very fast? What if the parking
98
1 isn't enough that we' re proposing? What if they turn at the
2 light at Sugar Maple? What if they don' t wait on the shuttle to
3 come to cross the street? They have a lot of what ifs,
4 themselves . Reality is that none of these what ifs can be
5 successfully rationalized here today. But the other reality is,
6 if we are good neighbors and if we' re diligent about managing
7 the property that we have, having contingency plans to deal with
8 potential issues that we can quickly put them in place, we are
9 more than convinced that we have what we need for this project
10 to be successfully done.
11
12 Again, we ' re building 835-seat capacity. If we are approved,
13 number one, the City Code requires 100 and I want to say about
14 67 . So, with the 181 that we have, we already exceed code. If
15 we tear down the house, if we make that a condition and add
16 another 50 or so and we have access to about 240 on site, we
17 have almost double, almost double, all right, the City Code.
18 The question is for you, what more can we do? What more can we
19 do to satisfy the City Code? What more can we do to satisfy the
20 community? I 'm convinced I can' t do anything else to satisfy
21 our neighbors. We've done more than enough and I can' t do
22 anything else.
23
24 In closing, I want to add that I had a newspaper reporter come
25 to my office last week who happened, just so happened, to be a
99
1 white Caucasian male. He came by my office and he was
2 interested in our story to expand, and he got wind of the
3 opposition that we were getting from the community. In his
4 mind, the oppositional arguments just didn' t make any sense. He
5 pulled me to the side and he asked me, "Pastor, do you think
6 that the opposition that you are getting is racially motivated?"
7 He said that -- if you will control the crowd and allow me to
8 speak, please?
9
10 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Please, continue?
11
12 PASTOR WILLIAMS: He asked me was the opposition I was
13 getting racially motivated? I pulled
14 him to the side and I told him not at all . I do not think that
15 this is racially motivated at all, and I told him that I don' t
16 want him to print a story and make it out to be that because
17 that' s not our community. I told him what I do think is that
18 our community and our neighbors just aren't simply being fair to
19 us, considering all of the compromises that we have made.
20
21 I don't want to say that there' s anything. They' re absolutely
22 right . No. They answered before I got a chance to answer it.
23 It has nothing to do with race. People outside our community
24 would look in and make it be a black and white thing, because
25 our church is predominantly black and we are centered in a
100
1 predominantly white community. It has nothing to do with race.
2 This is about being fair. And when I asked this Commission
3 today, you said this in your opening statements, that your job
4 is to make sure everything is done fair.
5
6 What I ask of you today is that you be fair to us, consider the
7 facts, and give Piney Grove the opportunity to move forward with
8 the proposal that we have and give the appropriate conditions
9 that you think need to be put in place for us to have the
10 opportunity to expand as a church and remain in the historic
11 position that we've been in in this location and in the City.
12 That' s all I have, Sir.
13
14 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you.
15
16 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Thank you.
17
18 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any follow-up questions for
19 Mr. Williams? Mr. Ripley?
20
21 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: Pastor Williams, thank you very much.
22 Just to be real clear, if you were to
23 be given permission to expand on the parcel that you own on Bald
24 Eagle Way, would you be willing to do that? Would you be
25 willing to buffer it?
II
101
1
2 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Yes .
3
4 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: To the extent satisfactory to the
5 Planning Director?
6
7 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Yes .
8
9 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: That' s the first thing. Second
10 thing, I heard discussion about the
11 time of service. And this is the question, I guess, and I 'm not.
12 trying to make this into a condition, but a 9: 00 service versus
13 an 8 : 00 service would disperse your membership a little
14 differently? I know I would probably attend a 9: 00 service
15 versus 8 : 00, but that ' s a preference, personal preference. It ' s
16 anecdotal . Would that make any difference, you think, if you
17 were to hold those services at 9: 00 versus 8 : 00 or not?
18
19 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Honestly, right now, no, I don' t
20 think it would make a drastic
21 difference. We talked about that as a condition if we outgrow
22 our parking capacity that we are allowed by the City to do, to
23 control that one of the things we could do is restructure our
24 program. Right now, we see about 200, a little over 200 people
25 for our first service, and right at about 390 to sometimes 405
102
1 for our second service. We talk about the possibility of
2 restructuring and reprogramming to stagger our service to make
3 it more inviting for some of our younger families that have
4 young kids. We talk about that and talk about conditions . If
5 we did that, you know, if the City saw fit for us to do that,
6 that' s easy for us to do. We can move Sunday School the very
7 first thing, come with the first service. That' s easy to do.
8 But do I think we need to do that now, given the parking that we
9 could potentially have? I don't think we need to do that out
10 the gate. I think that that should be, however, a condition
11 that' s put on the table to kind of appease the community.
12
13 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: So, you' re saying if you had this
14 additional parking, plus the parking
15 on Bald Eagle Way, you would probably have sufficient to operate
16 the way you' re operating today?
17
18 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Not probably. We will.
19
20 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: For quite some time?
21
22 PASTOR WILLIAMS: I will have it. Not probably. I
23 will have it.
24
25 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: Thank you.
103
1
2 PASTOR WILLIAMS: And if we do grow out, I ' ll have no
3 problem with changing our programming.
4 I have no problem with that .
5
6 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: Thank you.
7
8 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Mr. Thornton?
9
10 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: By your own count just a minute ago,
11 you said when you did a count last
12 week on your parking you were around 200 spaces?
13
14 PASTOR WILLIAMS: No. Last week, I said our people
15 counted 187 .
16
17 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: 187, okay. I ' ll round that to 200 .
18 You' re talking about 62 to 70 on your
19 own existing parking lot. You've got another 50, 60, 70 across
20 the street in the gravel lot, however many you can get over
21 there, and at the end of the day you're somewhere between 40 and
22 50 cars on the neighborhood. So, if you end up with enough
23 parking on your site, take that house down, if we can get that
24 done so that all of your parking can be on site or else across
25 the street, do you think you could politely urge your
104
1 parishioners and congregational folks to not impact the
2 neighborhood as much? That ' s what I keep hearing, when they
3 wake up on Sunday mornings there are a lot of cars in the
4 neighborhood. Is there any way you can control that? I know
5 it' s not legal to put "no parking" signs up, but that to me is
6 the issue because you don' t have enough parking and they' re
7 using the neighborhood. Once you get enough parking, can you
8 control that? Do you think you've got --
9
10 PASTOR WILLIAMS: To the best of my ability, I can use
11 the influence of my voice to ask our
12 members and our visitors not to park in the community and to
13 maximize our parking, as well as you see in our plan we elected
14 to put no parking signs right here so that people would already
15 not park there. So, we've already kind of been proactive with
16 telling the community we ' re going to put no parking signs so
17 that people won't park there. Can I get on the mike and say
18 "listen, guys, let ' s not park in the community, let ' s use every
19 single parking space we have. We've been blessed by God to be
20 able to have this space"; we can do that. We can do that. Now,
21 can I make anybody do anything?
22
23 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: No, I understand.
24
25 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Of course, you know I can't make
10.5
1 anybody do anything, but my voice and
2 my leadership does have influence with our people, and I 'm sure
3 that our people will more than be happy to comply with not
4 parking in the community.
5
6 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Thank you.
7
8 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Yes, Sir.
9
10 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions for Pastor
11 Williams? I have one, and I 'm not
12 sure if you' ll be the one that can answer this . Say this does
13 pass. When are you looking to start construction on this? Have
14 you looked at a timeline?
15
16 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Right now, we need to start our
17 pledge campaign, get that started to
18 satisfy the banks . Our plan was to try to break ground before
19 the end of this year, so that kind of can' t be predicted right
20 now, but as soon as possible, if you will . I can answer that as
21 soon as possible we want to do that.
22
23 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Have you looked at a timeline of how
24 long, and there ' s a reason I 'm asking
25 this, how long it will take from putting a shovel in the ground
106
1 to completing the project? Do you have a timeline on how long?
2
3 PASTOR WILLIAMS: We've been told anywhere from 14
4 maybe to 18 months depending on the
5 weather. I 've also been told maybe 13 months . They' re going to
6 work on the parking lot and the building at the same time.
7
8 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: That' s where I was getting. Would
9 they try to put some of the parking
10 lot in first before the actual structure was being built?
11
12 PASTOR WILLIAMS: We talked about that because we want
13 to really get ahead of the City' s plan
14 to widen the road, so we know that that will make for an ugly
15 situation while the City is kind of tearing up and doing their
16 thing and we ' re trying to do ours . So, we talked about how
17 possible that is for us to build and do the parking at the same
18 time, and our team has assured us that it is possible to do
19 that, and that would definitely cut our building time down if we
20 went that route.
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Okay.
23
24 PASTOR WILLIAMS: All right.
25
107
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions for Pastor
2 Williams?
3
4 PASTOR WILLIAMS: Thank you.
5
6 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Thank you, sir. That was our final
7 speaker. We' ll now close the Public
8 Hearing and open it up for discussion amongst the Commissioners .
9 Mr. Thornton?
10
11 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: I 've got a question for staff. We've
12 all been talking about one of the
13 possible solutions to this parking is obviously to add more
14 parking in an area that is not shown on a plan that we are asked
15 to be part of this application. If it turns out that the
16 solution to this problem is to park on that lot, do we need to
17 have the applicant come back with a new plan? Do we need to
18 wait a month and get another plan to vet, or how do we deal with.
19 that today? Because we've not seen, we only saw anecdotally
20 just quickly passed around this morning a plan that showed
21 parking back there.
22
23 KAREN LASLEY: Previously. That site was
24 advertised. Still, you could include
25 it. You could use a condition.
108
1
2 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Okay. Thank you.
3
4 WILLIAM MACALI: Yes, Sir. And may I add that it can
5 certainly be changed before City
6 Council, any plan can be, as it was advertised, that lot is
7 included in the application. We routinely do that, change plans
8 in some fashion between Planning Commission and Council.
9
10 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Thank you.
11
12 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Brockwell?
13
14 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: I 've got a question. Karen, you
15 might answer this, too. I have two
16 questions for staff, actually. The first is kind of a technical
17 issue that was brought up about these are actually two separate
18 lots, so it may be coincidentally it 's the same owner. But the
19 question of the conditional use permit for this to be parking
20 for an expansion, I just thought you might comment on that to
21 clarify. Is there a precedent for that or is there a land use?
22
23 KAREN LASLEY: I made some notes on that. It ' s all
24 zoned agricultural, the existing
25 church site and this church is a conditional use permit in the
109
1 agricultural district. I had some notes -- separate parcel --
2 the site plan, Stephen? They may be required to vacate that
3 interior lot line because a new building can not go over
4 existing lot line. So, probably by the end of the game, this
5 will all be one parcel. Somebody also brought up that nobody
6 else could use it as a parking lot. I mean, anybody could come
7 in and have a whole separate church on that lot with a
8 conditional use permit. In the agricultural district, use
9 permits include mulch processing, a hospital, a dog kennel, a
10 heliport, an assembly use, besides a church. Zoned
11 agricultural, there' s a lot of uses that could go in there that
12 would be difficult neighbors; a hog lagoon, poultry, livestock.
13 It' s zoned agricultural.
14
15 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: That answers my question. The
16 essence of the question was is there
17 anything untoward about using that as a parking lot to support
18 this church?
19
20 KAREN LASLEY: No. It' s part of the conditional use
21 permit for a church.
22
23 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: And probably, ultimately, that lot
24 line will dissolve anyway as part of
25 the process?
110
1
2 KAREN LASLEY: Yes, sir.
3
4 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: Then my second question was one of
5 those what ifs, actually. The traffic
6 study and the City traffic staff, did you look at the
7 possibility there might be an increased tendency for folks to
8 turn at the light when it' s in place and drive through the
9 neighborhood to make a right turn into that parking lot? Are
10 there any thoughts on that?
11
12 ROBERT GEY: I 'm Robert Gey, City Traffic
13 Engineer. This is Steve Frooman, one
14 of our engineers . Steve is very familiar with the traffic
15 study, so if there ' s any other questions I ' ll help address those
16 for you.
17
18 STEVE FROOMAN: No. The traffic study that was
19 prepared by the church consultant that
20 we reviewed looked really just at the Holland and Chestwood
21 intersection. Because of the low traffic volumes that are on
22 Holland Road on a Sunday, we didn' t think it was very likely
23 that people would choose to cut through a neighborhood when
24 there would be access directly off of a road that' s going to
25 have a median opening, left turns onto it, Chestwood.
111.
1
2 ROBERT GEY: Specifically, we looked at the
3 volumes on Holland road during that
4 hour, and basically it ' s about a car in each direction every 10
5 seconds . So, it' s so easy to make a left turn off of Holland
6 Road onto Chestwood in the morning that it ' s very likely that
7 either the car is going to make a left turn or a U-turn into the
8 parking lot. It' s very unlikely that they' re going to wait at a
9 traffic signal for the duration of the traffic signal and then
10 cut through the neighborhood and go all the way around rather
11 than make a left turn or U-turn at Chestwood. Could somebody do
12 that? Somebody could do that, but they' re going to have to wind
13 all the way through the neighborhood. It' s unlikely that the
14 majority of people are going to do that .
15
16 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: So, this summary, this change in this
17 layout is not going to produce any
18 significant traffic risk; is that fair to say? I mean, you all
19 agree it' s minimal impact?
20
21 STEVE FROOMAN: Our focus was on the impact on
22 Holland Road and the Chestwood and
23 Holland Road intersection. And, yes, a fair summary is that we
24 don' t expect any negative impact on that, vehicularly.
25 Obviously, we have concerns about the safety of pedestrians who
112
1 would be crossing from the opposite side of Holland to the
2 church, but that' s not so much traffic impact that would be
3 looking at in the study.
4
5 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Any other questions? Anyone else
6 like to weigh in? All right. I will.
7 I know for a fact that my mother is sitting in Northern Virginia.
8 watching this on her computer right now, and I know if I vote no
9 on this, this wouldn't be a reason for my vote, but the second I
10 walk out of here I 'm going to get a phone call from my mom going
11 "how could you vote for a church not to be able to expand"? I
12 guarantee you that phone call would happen, but I am
13 legitimately concerned about parking. It ' s obvious, parking is
14 an issue; 1 : 5 doesn't work. The 2 . 5, 2 . 3, whichever number you
15 pick, that ' s real world.
16
17 The ideal situation for me, I would be able to see your church
18 expand, which I wanted to see . I 'd love to see it expand. I 'd
19 love to see the house stay there, and I 'd love to see the lot
20 across the street expand to make up the difference of the 180
21 you have currently, fill that lot up and be able to meet your
22 capacity that way, but I understand that' s not a possibility
23 right now because of financial reasons with the church and
24 trying to develop that piece of land over there. That, to me,
25 would be the ideal scenario. That way you' re not encroaching
113
1 into the neighborhood. You can keep the cars off the
2 neighborhood street. You still have the concern about crossing
3 four lanes of traffic, which is a concern, but that would be
4 ideal world for me.
5
6 And with this proposal right now, that ' s not what we' re voting
7 on. That' s not the ideal world. And I will say probably in the
8 five years I 've been up here, this is probably one of the harder
9 votes I 've ever had to do. So, I am still struggling right now
10 with which button to push. And I hate to recommend a deferral
11 on something when you've had so many people come down and take
12 time off of work to show their concerns, but I also don' t want
13 to rush something through that may need a little help. So,
14 that' s where I 'm torn right now, and I want to see this happen.
15 I 'd love to see your church grow. I 'm just concerned about the
16 residents and the traffic and the neighborhood because I 've seen.
17 the pictures and it ' s there. So, where does that leave me?
18
19 COMMISSIONER INMAN: May I ask the City Attorney a
20 question?
21
22 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Sure, Mr. Inman.
23
24 COMMISSIONER INMAN: There may be folks here that don' t
25 know the answer, and I 'm not positive
114
1 of the answer, myself. So, if we turn down this application,
2 what is the status of the applicant at that point, in terms of
3 submitting another application?
4
5 WILLIAM MACALI: Well, the Planning Commission is just
6 a recommendation. So, the applicant
7 has the right to go to City Council with that application. They
8 can reapply or they can modify this application.
9
10 COMMISSIONER INMAN: They can modify it from between here
11 and City Council .
12
13 WILLIAM MACALI: Yes, that' s not uncommon.
14
15 COMMISSIONER INMAN: That' s an option.
16
17 WILLIAM MACALI: And that' s something that may well
18 happen if the Commission acts on it
19 with something to do about the parking and the lot that ' s
20 occupied by the single-family house now. That would have to be
21 a modification, as well, just of the plan that comes along with
22 it. So, if that answers your question, then the answer is, yes .
23
24 COMMISSIONER INMAN: The followup to that is, what if City
25 Council turns it down, they don' t
115
1 modify it and City Council turns it down?
2
3 WILLIAM MACALI: Well, then it' s substantially the
4 same application can' t be heard for
5 another year, then there would be the opportunity to challenge
6 the Council' s action in court. But short of that, the decision
7 of the City Council is final, subject to a reconsideration which.
8 can be done by any member of the prevailing side in a Council
9 vote within 30 days, then the matter can be reheard. But
10 typically once an application is denied, it can' t be re-filed,
11 substantially the same application, for another year.
12
13 COMMISSIONER INMAN: So, even if they were to come back,
14 if they were denied by Council and
15 they came back and they had reduced the size of the new
16 sanctuary by 2, 000 square feet or 3, 000 square feet and modified
17 the parking somehow?
18
19 WILLIAM MACALI: Well, that ' s a difficult case because
20 the Planning Director has to decide
21 that, and typically it ' s based on whether there' s a change in
22 the use, which there wouldn't be, whether the change is in a
23 site layout, which there could be. It depends on just exactly
24 what the new application would be.
25
117
1
2 I just think we 've got a combination here that will work. The
3 neighborhood, I think if you go back and defer it, I don' t hear
4 a neighborhood that' s really willing to work here. Maybe I 'm
5 misunderstanding it, but there was a lot of discussion here that
6 just didn' t seem like it was a compromise. And I don' t know how
7 the pastor and his congregation reached the size of congregation
8 that he' s designing to. That may be another topic. To me, I
9 just think you've got a combination here if you were to expand
10 the parking and you do a good job and it fits in with the
11 neighborhood with good buffering that is satisfactory to the
12 Planning Director, I think you've got a formula that will work.
13 I 'm inclined to support it .
14
15 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mrs . Oliver?
16
17 COMMISSIONER OLIVER: I know that the neighborhood had
18 addressed the fact that they didn' t
19 want a parking lot in their neighborhood because it devalued
20 their homes . We have two, and I know Bob has attended both of
21 these churches, large churches in our neighborhood, and their
22 parking lots go from the front of one street all the way
23 through. Not as big as your congregation, but they' re full on
24 Sundays and they have three services . And their houses are
25 right up against them, and we don' t have a problem with good
118
1 neighbors with the church and the parking lot. It hasn' t
2 devalued their homes . There isn' t a big noise problem with the
3 parking lot. We had a little problem with the skateboarders,
4 but they weren' t attending church. It sits on a hill .
5
6 But just there' s good buffer, they' re pretty, they've got canopy
7 trees in them; I just don' t see where that is a real problem
8 with a church parking lot in a neighborhood. We 've got two of
9 them right there in ours . So, I 'm sort of there. I sort of
10 want to support the church because it wants to grow, and I 'm
11 with you all on the same issue. I certainly want the parking
12 off the street of your neighborhood. The only way to get the
13 parking off of your street is to allow the church to build a
14 parking lot.
15
16 If you defer it and they don' t, for another 30 days or even if
17 worst case scenario it gets tabled for a year, you' re still at
18 the same problem. You still have the people in the street
19 parking because the church is there.
20
21 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Doctor Kwasny?
22
23 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I think I share your conflict,
24 because that' s how I 'm feeling. I
25 sense that the church has looked at other options to expand
119
1 elsewhere and that this is where they call home; and, therefore,
2 that is why they want to remain in that spot. And they' re
3 trying to, in a sense, because the building is so large, fit a
4 round peg in a square hole, and that' s the community' s concern.
5 And then it rolls down into parking and traffic, and that has to
6 be addressed. So, where I kind of keep finding myself sitting
7 is it' s not ready yet for a decision; that' s how I feel .
8
9 I 'm not sure if deferral is necessarily the answer, but I lean
10 more in that direction than I do in denying because I feel I 'm
11 just, generally, it' s my nature to think there must be a way to
12 come to a compromise, which would be to scale back slightly on
13 the building, perhaps, allow for a little more parking where the
14 building would be drawn back, but then the community also in my
15 mind would have to be willing to allow for an extension of
16 parking into the lot the church owns . So, there would have to
17 be wiggle room on both sides.
18
19 That' s where I am conflicted, because I 'm not sure that that' s
20 -- I haven' t gotten the sense that that ' s possible. So, then I
21 come back to, okay, what kind of decision can we make? Because
22 if it' s not possible to come to a compromise, then we have to
23 make a decision on the application we have, and that' s where I
24 stay conflicted. I haven' t yet been convinced to approve .
25
120
1 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Mr. Thornton?
2
3 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: I, like Ron, I 've been sitting here
4 playing with the math because I think
5 that' s a critical thing to think about, think through this
6 rather than just anecdotally, but the building has gotten
7 smaller. They've reduced it by probably more than 25% . They
8 were at 1, 100. Now, they' re at 835. If you take the 835 and
9 divide it by the current code, they' re required to have 167
10 parking spaces . They' re providing 180, plus they've got another
11 plus or minus 70 across the street. And if this new lot back
12 here is added to it, Jeff and I quickly counted this morning, if
13 we did it properly, somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 more
14 parking spaces . Well, if you just round that to 320 and divide
15 it into the 835, that number is 1 space per -- 2 . 6 spaces per
16 seat in the auditorium, which is essentially half of the code.
17 The code allows 167, and they' ll be providing in excess of 300
18 parking spaces .
19
20 And the two things that they have to do operationally, they've
21 got to figure out how to get people across the street to use
22 those 70 parking spaces without getting run over. And he ' s got
23 to tell his folks essentially "don' t park in the neighborhood",
24 and it' s back to the management of the church. If we can
25 numerically fix the numbers, and I think it' s an operational
122
1 problem, we can' t go down there on Sunday, stand in the pulpit
2 and say "hey, pastor, you've got to use this as a bully pulpit
3 and keep these people off the street" . That' s his job, but
4 that' s just as important, or it' s just as important to not let
5 people get run over going across the street using those 70
6 parking spaces .
7
8 So, there ' s adequate parking there, but it' s got to be managed
9 properly. So, I 'm inclined to go along with this because I 'm a
10 fan of churches, and I love to see them grow and I love to see
11 them do what they' re set out to do, and that' s to provide a
12 spiritual basis for the neighborhood. But it ' s going to take
13 some management at the pastoral level because the neighborhood
14 doesn't like 50 cars in their neighborhood every Sunday
15 wandering around seeing 50 cars in the street. And that ' s
16 something you guys have got to get past and you've got to stop
17 doing. So, those are my points .
18
19 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: Bob, the numbers you used, does that
20 include tearing down the house?
21
22 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Yes, yes . There was an original site
23 plan that showed parking all the way
24 back.
25
122
1 COMMISSIONER KWASNY: I saw that.
2
3 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: We just quickly did a fast and
4 furious number count. We may be off,
5 but it' s still 50 to 70 more parking spaces .
6
7 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: When I asked Pastor Williams earlier
8 "would you rather develop where the
9 house sits or across the street", I was hoping he was going to
10 say "across the street", but I had a feeling he was going to say
11 "where the house is" because it' s cheaper, because I would have
12 loved to have seen that lot expand. To me, again, I go back to
13 that' s my ideal world to do that, but I know it' s probably not
14 financially feasible. Or maybe you haven't done enough of a
15 study on that to say "hey, maybe by the time we look at tearing
16 this house down, maybe the lost revenue from that, plus
17 developing that site, maybe it does make sense to increase the
18 size of that lot over there. I don' t know.
19
20 I live at the Oceanfront in a neighborhood called Shadowlawn,
21 and I understand what it ' s like to have cars. I mean, we don' t
22 have it on Sundays. I have it every day in the summer. Our
23 streets are completely clogged. It' s usually one car can pass
24 at a time. And it' s, to me, I understood that when I bought
25 there in that neighborhood, so I chose to live there because of
123
1 that. And I understand these residents bought and they didn' t
2 necessarily buy because that parking was existing like that when.
3 they purchased, if I said that right . So, I would still love
4 for the church to look into that other parking lot further, a
5 little more depth.
6
7 And just like Bob said, I think it really comes down to the
8 pastor controlling his congregation -- I don' t like to use the
9 word "control", that wasn' t the right one -- but suggesting to
10 his congregation to "please, please, respect the neighborhood
11 and do everything you can to stay out off of the streets there" .
12 So, that' s where I 'm leaning right now. I 'd love to see them
13 put that little bit of extra effort into that lot across the
14 street.
15
16 VICE-CHAIR THORNTON: Let me just quickly weigh in on it,
17 and I 'm not a civil engineer, but our
18 colleague, Jack, might be able to. In July of last year, the
19 State of Virginia passed new storm water regs, and the pastor
20 said that he ' s already got a half-a-million-dollar estimate to
21 drain the piece across the street, if I heard that correctly.
22 He ' s already got a filterra system or one planned for this side
23 of the street, so it' s not -- you just can't go across the
24 street and put in curb and gutter and a BMP and make a parking
25 lot out of an acre and a half. And Doug Smith told us earlier
124
1 in the meeting that there' s maybe no place to put that water, so
2 I think there' s some civil engineering limitations to just
3 crossing the road and building a parking lot when he' s already
4 preparing. I mean, you can look and see the scope of this is a
5 huge parking lot with drainage in place, and it probably would
6 not cost incrementally that much more to include that back
7 there. I guess that' s the reason he gave you the answer he gave
8 you.
9
10 COMMISSIONER BROCKWELL: I think, Bob, he made an allusion to
11 some underground storage. There ' s a
12 note on there about underground storm water storage systems, so
13 I guess that ' s the system y'all are going to use is tanks under
14 the parking lot, which aren't cheap.
15
16 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Anyone else like to weigh in? David?
17
18 COMMISSIONER WEINER: I 'm not going to reiterate what
19 everybody else says, but I 'm pretty
20 much in favor f this . But what I 'd really like to see is, Mr.
21 Ivy, I don't know if you can do this, this is more of a
22 landscape issue, but I would like for you to have a rendering of
23 the house in the Category 6, because a lot of times we like to
24 approve things that are already here, like your elevations that
25 are here. That ' s how we like to see them before it goes to
12.5
1 Council . I think it would be nice if everybody saw what a
2 Category 6 landscaping looked like, because a lot of people
3 don't know what that looks like. I don't really know what that
4 looks like. I would loved to have seen that to help out a
5 little bit. But maybe between now and then, if it goes that
6 far, you could have that to show the community what it looks
7 like.
8
9 KAREN LASLEY: And we have good pictures of that in
10 the office. But, yes, I was thinking
11 between now and Council we can amend this, do a site plan that
12 shows the buffer. And Category 6, it may be better to do the
13 privacy fence and a Category 4 landscaping where you have trees
14 every so many feet with the evergreen hedge in-between. Some of
15 those trees would grow up and help create a really nice buffer.
16
17 COMMISSIONER WEINER: Just a thought.
18
19 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Anyone else before we vote?
20 Mr. Ripley?
21
22 COMMISSIONER RIPLEY: I 'm going to make the motion.
23
24 CHAIRMAN HODGSON: Motion made by Commissioner Ripley.
