CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance 1) Declaring Approximately 11.7 Acres of City Property Located on
Bonney Road in Excess of the City's Needs and 2) Authorizing the City Manager
to Enter Into a Purchase Agreement for the Sale of the Property to Olympia
Development Corporation
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach (the "City") owns property located on
Bonney Road (GPIN: 1477-52-4516) (the "Property"), known as the former Days Inn. The
Property consists of approximately 11 .7 acres, of which approximately 7.5 acres is not
constrained by wetlands. The Property is located in the Pembroke Central Business
District/SGA, in close proximity to Town Center and Convergence Center. The Property
also abuts a portion of the new Thalia Creek Greenway.
The City acquired the Property in 1996 and planned to consolidate the mental health,
mental disability and substance abuse program on the site, which plan was later
abandoned. In 2001 , the City sold the Property to Branwick Corporate Center, LLC
("Branwick") for $1 .2 million to develop an office complex. Branwick failed to fulfill its
commitment to develop the Property, and the City bought back the Property in 2003 for
the same price.
In October 2017, the City issued a Request for Interest for the sale and development of
the Property and two responsive proposals were submitted. In December 2017, the City
determined that Olympia Development Corporation ("Olympia") presented the best
opportunity to develop a mixed-use project on the Property.
• Considerations: The attached ordinance would make the required excess
declaration, and it would authorize the sale of the property to Olympia for $2,312,000.
The ordinance does not authorize any tax incentives. The ordinance does not mandate
any specific form of development.
• Public Information: A different deal structure for this transaction was briefed to
City Council in open session on April 16, 2019 and May 28, 2019. A public hearing on
the excess declaration and proposed sale was advertised on April 28, 2019 in the The
Virginian-Pilot. The public hearing was held on May 7, 2019, and there were no speakers.
This matter was originally scheduled to be heard on May 21, 2019 and was deferred to
June 4, 2019. This item will also be advertised with the City Council Agenda.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Providing for the Issuance and
Sale of General Obligation Public Improvement and Refunding Bonds, in the
Maximum Amount of $185,000,000 to Fund Heretofore Authorized Public
Improvements and to Refund Previously Authorized and Issued Bonds, and
Providing for the Form, Details and Payment Thereof
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
•Background: Based on a review of capital project expenditures, the Department of
Finance has begun preparations for a general obligation new money bond sale in the
maximum principal of $117,000,000. The bond sale is composed of portions of the
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Charter Bond Authorizations previously approved by
Council on May 12, 2015, May 10, 2016, May 9, 2017, May 15, 2018 and May 14, 2019,
respectively. The bond proceeds from the proposed sale will reimburse previous
expenditures for City and Schools authorized CIP projects and may include FY20
expenditures for Schools CIP projects under construction. A preliminary project list
totaling $112,583,310 is attached with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum based
on market conditions. Based on current market conditions, the City's Financial Advisors,
Public Resources Advisory Group (PRAG), has recommended that this sale take place
on July 10, 2019.
In addition to the new money sale, the Department of Finance and the City's Financial
Advisor recommend that the City issue refunding bonds of up to $68 million to save on
the costs of future debt service. For the bonds that are candidates for refunding,
favorable market conditions allow the City to redeem these bonds and issue refunding
bonds at a significant debt service savings.
•Considerations: The new money sale represents the City's periodic general
obligation bond sale. The City's Bond Counsel, Kutak Rock LLP, has prepared the
enclosed resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the bonds. The bonds will be
sold electronically by competitive bid, with the actions of the City Manager being
conclusive; provided, the Bonds shall have a true interest cost not to exceed 4.0% with
respect to the new money bonds and 4.0% with respect to the refunding bonds. In
addition to the typical terms of a bond authorization resolution, the attached resolution
authorizes the City Manager or designee to forward cash to the Schools for CIP projects
that are subject to this bond sale provided the cash so forwarded is repaid from the
proceeds of the July bond sale. This process is not dissimilar to how the City manages
cash in capital projects, but because the Schools is a separate political subdivision, the
approval of Council is requested.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process. The original Charter Bond
Authorizations subject to a public hearing in the budget process for the applicable fiscal
year. In addition, the Resolution authorizes the distribution of the Preliminary Official
Statement for marketing purposes, and a Notice of Sale will be placed in The Bond
Buyer, a daily newspaper for the tax-exempt bond market.
• Recommendation: Approval of the attached resolution.
• Attachment: Resolution, Project List
Recommended Action: Approval

responsibilities hereunder, or (b) the City, in its sole discretion, determines (i)that beneficial
owners of Bonds shall be able to obtain certificated Bonds or (ii) to select a new Securities
Depository, then the City's Director of Finance shall, at the direction of the City Manager,
attempt to locate another qualified securities depository to serve as Securities Depository and

Depository participants on behalf of beneficial owners substantially in the form provided for in

Bonds shall be payable from the date to which interest has been paid). In delivering certificated
Bonds, the City's Director of Finance shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Securities
Depository as to the beneficial owners or the records of the Securities Depository participants

maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Securities Depository, its
participants or persons acting through such participants, (4)references in this Resolution to
registered owners of the Bonds shall mean such Securities Depository or its nominee and shall

the provisions of this Resolution and the provisions of the above-referenced Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations, such provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, except to the
extent set forth in this paragraph and the next preceding paragraph, shall control.
3. Refunding Provisions.
The City Manager is authorized and directed to select the principal maturities of the Prior
Bonds or portions of such maturities to be refunded and to cause to be called for optional
redemption any such maturity or portion thereof to be redeemed prior to its stated maturity in
accordance with the provisions of such bonds; provided such maturities or portions thereof
selected are expected in the aggregate to provide a minimum savings of 2.00% on a net present

Financial Advisor, is authorized to retain the services of independent consultants to provide
verification reports (the "Verification Agent") on aspects of the refunding and is further
authorized to retain the services of one or more escrow agents (the "Escrow Agent") and to enter
into escrow agreements with them to the extent needed to hold and provide for investment of all
or portions of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and other funds as needed pending their

4. Redemption Provisions.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity
at the option of the City Manager, in whole or in part, at any time on and after dates, if any,
determined by the City Manager, with the first such optional redemption date beginning no later
than July 15, 2029 as set forth in Section 2 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to

mandatory sinking fund redemption upon terms determined by the City Manager.
If so determined by the City Manager, the Bonds may provide that the City may take a
credit against the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation of any maturity of term Bonds
in the amount of Bonds of the same maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered
4
for cancellation and have not been applied previously as such a credit. If the City wishes to take
such a credit, on or before the '70th day next preceding any such mandatory sinking fund
redemption date, the City's Director of Finance may instruct the Registrar to apply a credit
against the City's mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for any Bonds of the applicable
maturity that have been optionally redeemed or surrendered for cancellation by the City and have
not been previously applied as a credit against any mandatory sinking fund redemption
obligation for that maturity of the Bonds. Each Bond so previously optionally redeemed or
surrendered shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal
amount of such maturity of the Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund
redemption date or dates for such maturity as may be selected by the Director of Finance.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for
optional redemption, the maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the City's
Director of Finance in such manner as may be determined to be in the best interest of the City. If
less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Bonds within
such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Securities Depository pursuant to its rules
and procedures or, if the book-entry system is discontinued, shall be selected by the Registrar by
lot in such manner as the Registrar in its discretion may determine. In either case, (a) the portion
of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of$5,000 or some integral multiple
thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing
that number of Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by$5,000.
(d) Redemption Notices. The City shall cause notice of the call for redemption
identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by electronic transmission,
facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail or overnight express delivery, not less than 30

City shall not be responsible for providing notice of redemption to anyone other than DTC or
another qualified Securities Depository or its nominee unless no qualified Securities Depository
is the registered owner of the Bonds. If no qualified Securities Depository is the registered owner
of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be provided to the registered owners of the Bonds. If a
portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof

facsimile signature of the Mayor or Vice-Mayor, shall be countersigned by the manual or
facsimile signature of the City Clerk or Deputy Clerk, and the City's seal shall be affixed thereto

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Support the City's Local Commitment for the Virginia Department
of Transportation Pacific Avenue Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program Project
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program (BPSP) is a core
subgroup within Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) that focuses on non-
motorized safety concerns. The primary objective of BPSP is to reduce the number and
severity of non-motorized crashes as these users are the most vulnerable to injury or
death from a crash. This program is administered by the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT). The main goal of both HSIP and BPSP is to reduce crashes and
their consequences as part the Commonwealth of Virginia's vision that everyone should
"Arrive Alive."
In the 2018 BPSP, the City of Virginia Beach submitted a request for improvements to
Pacific Avenue Pedestrian Improvements. The Pacific Avenue Pedestrian Improvement
project will provide a variety of pedestrian related safety improvements from 5th Street to
40th Street, a total distance of approximately 2.5 miles. The proposed systemic
improvements along the corridor include high visibility crosswalks, flashing LED
pedestrian warning signs, and speed limit reductions. The project also provides for
pedestrian refuge islands from 34th Street to 40th Street as well as street lighting from 5th
Street to 16th Street and 34th Street to 40th Street. The proposed infrastructure
countermeasures will greatly improve safety for pedestrians utilizing the Pacific Avenue
corridor within the Resort Area Strategic Growth Area. The improvements will provide
much needed safety in a heavily traveled pedestrian area.
The City has received a total of$484,570 in BPSP allocations ($436,113 in federal funds
and $48,457 in state funds) for the Pacific Avenue Pedestrian Improvement project. The
total project cost for the Pacific Avenue Pedestrian Improvement project is $1,010,570.
The $526,000 in locally committed funds is budgeted within "Traffic Safety Improvements
(TSI) IV" project (CIP # 2-111) of the Roadways Section of the Capital Improvement
Program.
■ Considerations: The federal and state BPSP funds were appropriated by the City
Council on February 5, 2019. VDOT now requires an additional resolution of support for
the local funding commitment in order to execute the VDOT Agreement and begin project
development.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement between
Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance, the City of Virginia Beach and
Ten Other Regional Localities
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance ("HREDA") has
functioned as the regional economic development marketing organization, and it is
supported by private and public sector investors. The City of Virginia Beach, along with
ten other regional municipalities, provides funding for HREDA in a total amount roughly
equal to the private funds raised by HREDA. In its adopted FY 2019-20 Budget, City
Council appropriated $400,000 to HREDA, subject to entering into an agreement with
HREDA and the other involved localities.
Over the course of the past several months, discussions among regional economic
development representatives focused on the need to reset the HREDA mission and
create updated measurable performance outcomes for HREDA. Recent actions by
HREDA's Executive Committee, including certain key staffing changes, provides City
staff with confidence that the organization is making the organizational and procedural
changes necessary to advance local economic development expectations and goals.
The obligations of HREDA and the eleven municipalities are set forth in a Master
Agreement for Regional Economic Development (the "Master Agreement"). The Master
Agreement sets the funding obligations for the various localities as well as HREDA's
obligation to obtain a roughly equal amount of funding from private parties.
City staff recommends authorizing the execution of the Master Agreement and providing
the level of funding to HREDA as appropriated in the FY 2019-20 Budget.
Considerations: The Master Agreement allows HREDA to pursue its mission of
growing the regional economy to the benefit of all Hampton Roads residents.
If City Council does not believe continued participation in HREDA is in the best interests
of Virginia Beach, the proposed Master Agreement provides for Virginia Beach's option
to withdraw from the Master Agreement after one year at no further cost to Virginia
Beach.
• Public Information: A public briefing on this matter was conducted on May 21 ,
2019. This matter will also be advertised via the normal agenda process.
• Recommendations: Authorize execution of the Master Agreement.

EXECUTION COPY EXHIBIT A
MASTER AGREEMENT
FOR
REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
This MASTER AGREEMENT FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
(as in effect from time to time, "Agreement') is entered into as of July 1, 2019 ("Effective
Date"), by and between the HAMPTON ROADS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ALLIANCE, a Virginia non-stock, non-profit corporation ("Alliance"), the CITY OF
CHESAPEAKE, , a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("Chesapeake"),
the CITY OF FRANKLIN, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia
("Franklin"), the CITY OF HAMPTON, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of
Virginia ("Hampton"), the COUNTY OF ISLE OF WIGHT, a political subdivision of the
Commonwealth of Virginia ("Isle of Wight'), the CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS, a political
subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("Newport News"), the CITY OF NORFOLK, a
political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("Norfolk"), the CITY OF
POQUOSON, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("Poquoson"), the
CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia
("Portsmouth"), the CITY OF SUFFOLK, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of
Virginia ("Suffolk"), the COUNTY OF SOUTHAMPTON, a political subdivision of the
Commonwealth of Virginia ("Southampton"), and the CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a
political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("Virginia Beach;" Chesapeake,
Franklin, Hampton, Isle of Wight, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk,
Southampton and Virginia Beach individually and collectively, whether one or more, "Public
Investors"). Each of the Alliance and the Public Investors are referred to individually as a
"Party"and collectively as the"Parties."
RECITALS:
A. The Parties desire to stimulate growth of businesses, high paying jobs, tax base,
the regional economy and economic opportunity for the citizens, businesses, cities and counties
in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia ("Region"). Accomplishing this objective requires a
regional working relationship that is cooperative, harmonious, aligned and adequately resourced.
B. The Parties have determined that the findings and recommendations set forth in
the report on Inward Investment and Business Environment Improvement Actions (March 2018),
issued by IBM-Plant Location International ("Report"), should be used as a strategic plan to
guide the Region's economic development efforts. The Report recommends that the Region's
economic development efforts primarily focus on the following industry sectors (collectively,
"Targeted Industries"): Shared Services, IT and Software Development, Food Processing,
Transport Technologies, Data Analytics and Transportation/Distribution. The Report also
recognizes that from time to time additional industry sectors may warrant inclusion in the
Targeted Industries and that a portion of Alliance resources should be made available to develop
opportunities in such additional sectors. Examples of such additional industry sectors include
cybersecurity,biotech R&D and manufacturing, data centers and other opportunities arising from
the Region's investment in broadband infrastructure and the transcontinental undersea data
cables connecting the Region and the Mid-Atlantic United States to Europe and South America.
37604815_8
C. The Parties intend to implement a comprehensive regional economic development
program on the terms set forth in this Agreement that is consistent with the following core
principles:
(i) The program will be investor/customer oriented to improve the Region's
competitive position and to better serve the investors in the Alliance;
(ii) Marketing, messaging, regional site preparation/development, workforce
development, cluster development and innovation through business expansion, retention
and attraction will be coordinated regionally;
(iii) The vehicle for this initiative will be a true regional/local partnership
between government, business, education and non-profits in the Region with visible and
active leadership from the highest levels including CEOs, Mayors, Chairs, Chief
Administrative Officers and Presidents;
(iv) Sustainable resources of at least $4 million annually will be provided to
the Alliance, funded equally by business and government;
(v) The Report will be utilized as a strategic plan to guide the Region's
comprehensive economic development strategy; and
(vi) A public-private steering committee will be formed to provide leadership
to advance the restructuring and resourcing of the Region's economic development
program.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants set forth in this
Agreement, the Parties stipulate and agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement begins on July 1, 2019
and expires on June 30, 2022. Thereafter, unless a Party notifies the other Parties that it will
withdraw from this Agreement not less than thirty(30) days prior to the end of the initial term or
the then current term, the term of this Agreement automatically will renew and be extended for
an additional one (1) year period.
2. Fundin i by Public Investors. The Public Investors will provide annual funding
("Public Funding") to the Alliance in an amount approximately equal to the total commitments
for annual funding provided to the Alliance by contributors that are not Public Investors (e.g.,
individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, foundations, parties
providing grants, commissions and boards (individually and collectively, whether one or more,
"Private Investors")). Payment of Public Funding may be made in annual, semi-annual or
quarterly-annual installments as determined by each Public Investor in its discretion from time to
time.
2
(1) Baseline Public Funding. For the fiscal year July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020,
Public Funding for each Public Investor will be in the baseline amounts set forth on Exhibit A
attached to and incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. Beginning in 2020 and
annually thereafter, the Public Investors collectively will determine their respective funding
amounts for the forthcoming fiscal year so that the aggregate amount of Public Funding is
consistent with the principles set forth in Section 3.
(ii) Annual Appropriation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, (i) funding to be provided by each Public Investor pursuant to this Agreement is
subject to annual appropriation in each Public Investor's annual budget and (ii) failure of any
Public Investor to make an annual appropriation of its required annual funding under this
Agreement prior to July 1 of any year in the term of this Agreement will not constitute a breach
of this Agreement by such Public Investor but rather will constitute the automatic withdrawal of
such Public Investor from this Agreement. Any Public Investor that is automatically deemed to
have withdrawn from this Agreement will no longer be entitled to any benefits, or have any
future obligations,under this Agreement.
3. Equal Funding by Private Investors and Public Investors, One of the core
principles of this Agreement, and of the engagement and financial support from Private
Investors, is that sustainable resources of at least $4 million annually be provided to the Alliance,
funded equally by Public Investors and Private Investors. Consequently, if at any time (i) the
annual funding provided by Private Investors is less than the annual funding provided by Public
Investors, then the Public Investors may reduce the Public Funding to a level approximately
equal to the annual funding provided by Private Investors and (ii) the annual funding provided by
Public Investors is less than the annual funding provided by Private Investors, then the Private
Investors may reduce their annual funding to a level approximately equal to the Public Funding.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the Parties acknowledge that it is unlikely that
annual funding by Public Investors and Private Investors ever will be exactly equal due to Public
Investors funding pursuant to budget appropriations on a fiscal year basis, funding from Private
Investors being made on a calendar year basis and the Parties' expectation that annual funding
will take approximately three years to reach approximately$4 million annually.
4. Obliiations of the Alliance. The Alliance will have the following responsibilities
and obligations:
(i) Annual Plan. Establish an annual business plan ("Annual Plan") that includes a
budget, staffing and the programs and actions to be taken by the Alliance during the forthcoming
year, including goals, action items and performance metrics to be used to manage and measure
progress in implementing the Annual Plan ("Performance Metrics"). The Annual Plan and
Performance Metrics will be consistent with the Report's recommendations, subject to available
financial resources and staffing. The Annual Plan and Performance Metrics may be adjusted
periodically by the Alliance Board of Directors. If Performance Metrics are not being achieved,
then the Alliance Board of Directors and Alliance management will assess the relevant causative
factors and implement appropriate measures in response to such factors. Failure to meet any
Performance Metrics will not,by itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement unless the Alliance
fails to develop and implement appropriate responses.
3
f
(ii) Services and Functions. The Alliance will:
(a) Be the lead and single point of contact and information source for outside
investors, Virginia Economic Development Partnership ("VEDP") and other state agencies, real
estate brokers, real estate developers, franchise utilities, the Port of Virginia, site consultants,
workforce boards, educational institutions and all other parties seeking to invest in or be
involved in the Region's economic development.
(b) Develop a regional operating protocol with VEDP.
(c) Manage regional and support local responses to outside investors
throughout the overall site/facility Iocation evaluation and selection process.
(d) Work collaboratively with the Public Investors and other regional

through local, national and international marketing campaigns and business development
activities. Primary focus will be given to economic growth within the Targeted Industries.
(e) Develop and manage the Region's business retention, expansion and
organic growth strategy, in conjunction and collaboration with the Public Investors' economic
development departments and other organizations involved in the Region's economic
development strategy, including growth of business clusters and startups within the Targeted
Industries. This will include monitoring,benchmarking, assessing and directly supporting a local
and regional business retention and expansion strategy.
(f) Support each Public Investor's efforts to close economic development
transactions.
(g) Work collaboratively to enhance the Region's long-term regional business
environment improvement programs and efforts as set forth in the Report, including regional
talent and workforce development, site and facility development, pro-business regulations and
return on investment driven economic incentives.
(h) Organize and manage the Region's economic developer team ("RED
Team"). The Red Team will (A) obtain input from the Public Investors and other organizations
involved in regional economic development into the Annual Plan, (B) develop and implement
marketing and branding strategies for the Region, (C) coordinate with each Public Investor's
economic development department, and other organizations involved in regional economic
development, on implementation of the Region's economic development strategy and
performance of the Annual Plan, (D) ensure that regional and local economic development
efforts are aligned, are complimentary, are cost effective and do not conflict or compete with
each other, (E) develop and implement a regional operating protocol between the Alliance and
the Public Investors to promote coordination of communications regarding economic
development inquiries and (F) develop and implement a regional operating protocol between the
Alliance and the Public Investors to promote coordination of site preparation and development in
support of the Region's economic development strategy.
(i) Work collaboratively with each Public Investor's economic development
department to benchmark local and regional competitiveness and regularly provide data and
4
information regarding matters that could impact each Public Investor's ability to attract or retain
business and employment.
(j) Maintain and develop regional business intelligence (demographic, market
and property data, etc.) in coordination with the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission,
Reinvent Hampton Roads, Go Virginia, the Port of Virginia and local universities, and serve as
an information source in support of regional and local economic development.
(iii) Annual Report. Provide an annual report to the Public and Private Investors
covering the Alliance's activities, budget and achievement of Performance Metrics for the
applicable period.
5. Obligations of the Public Investors. The Public Investors will:

regional economic development organization and single point of contact for regional marketing,
business attraction, client communications and care and (b)work cooperatively with the Alliance
with respect to business attraction, closing in-bound investment opportunities, business retention
and expansion and marketing and messaging in support of the Annual Plan and the Region's
economic development strategy. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not preclude
Public Investors from facilitating the expansion and retention of existing businesses within their
respective jurisdictions or from pursuing leads and opportunities with new-to-market companies
that have selected a specific jurisdiction as their preferred location for business investment. It is
the intent of the Parties that they will have a regional working relationship that emphasizes
communication and is collaborative, cooperative and aligned to maximize economic
development opportunities.
(ii) Funding. Provide their respective shares of the Public Funding.
(iii) RED Team. Direct and appoint their senior economic development officer to be
the primary staff liaison to the Alliance and represent the Public Investor on the RED Team, and
ensure that regional and local economic development efforts are aligned, are complimentary, are
cost effective and do not conflict or compete with each other.
(iv) Engagement in Governance of the Alliance. Designate an elected official (Mayor/
Chair or other elected official) to serve on the Alliance Board of Directors and actively
participate in and represent the Public Investor in Alliance governance and program matters.
This person will serve as the Public Investor's key communication liaison with the Alliance. The
Public Investor's chief administrative officer may serve as an alternate voting representative on
the Board of Directors in the absence of such elected official.
(v) Services and Functions. The Public Investors will:
(a) Actively align and coordinate their economic development activities and
efforts to ensure that such activities and efforts are supportive of the Region's overall regional

the Annual Plan.
5

Industries.

activities designed to promote the Region overall as a business location.

more effective and efficient management and governance for the Region's economic
development program. The Parties and the Private Investors will evaluate and implement a
governance structure that may include, among other revisions, the following:

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing and Directing the City Manager to Execute an
Intergovernmental Agreement Between the Virginia Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services and the City of Virginia Beach Regarding the
Purchase of Agricultural Reserve Program Easements
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: In 2018, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services ("VDACS") determined that the City of Virginia Beach (the "City") is eligible for
additional State funding over the next two years in the maximum cumulative amount of
$111,618.52, as reimbursement for certain costs to be incurred by the City in
connection with the purchase of farmland preservation easements under the City's
Agricultural Reserve Program ("ARP"). The City previously approved the receipt of
funding from VDACS on June 24, 2008, January 27, 2009, February 23, 2010, February
22, 2011, June 14, 2011, January 24, 2012, January 22, 2013, March 11, 2014,
February 24, 2015, February 2, 2016, February 7, 2017 and February 20, 2018. Subject
to the approval of the City Council, the City staff and VDACS have agreed upon the
terms of an Intergovernmental Agreement (the "Agreement") providing for the additional
funding.
• Considerations: The Agreement provides that VDACS will reimburse the City
for certain costs of acquiring ARP easements. Costs eligible for reimbursement include:
(1) the costs of U.S. Treasury STRIPS bought by the City to fund the purchase of the
easements, (2) the cost of appraisals, (3) attorney's fees, (4) the cost of surveys, (5) title
insurance fees, and (6) public notice costs. The Agreement also allows the City to be
reimbursed for other costs that, under current practice, are not incurred by the City in
the course of acquiring ARP easements. These include certain debt service on the
financed portion of the purchase price of an ARP easement and portions of the
purchase price of an ARP easement that the City will prepay.
The Agreement also places a maximum amount on the reimbursement for any single
ARP transaction. That amount, however, is unlikely to be exceeded, and it is thus
anticipated that the City will be reimbursed in any single transaction for 50% of the costs
listed above, up to the maximum cumulative amount of $111,618.52.

necessity, and Grantee shall bear all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Temporary

in case it shall be necessary to file or defend an action arising out of the construction,
location or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein

any encroachment by anyone other than the Grantee.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to

manner provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the
Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City
may charge the Grantee for the use of the Encroachment Area, the equivalent of what

this Agreement, the City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each and every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $300,000 from the Fund Balance of the Parking
Enterprise Fund to the FY 2018-19 Parking Enterprise Fund Operating Budget for
Contractual Services
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The Parking Enterprise Fund is responsible for the management
and oversight of the City-owned parking facilities at the Oceanfront Resort area. These
facilities include surface lots such as Rudee Inlet Loop as well as three parking garages
at 9th Street, 25th Street, and 31st Street. The majority of day-to-day parking operations
and the manpower for parking enforcement is provided through a contractual
arrangement between the City of Virginia Beach Parking Management Office and
Republic Parking Services. The Parking Enterprise Fund generates revenues primarily
through user fees associated with parking of vehicles and has no General Fund support.
During this fiscal year (FY 2018-19), unanticipated costs arose within the Parking
Enterprise Fund and therefore increased the cost of the Parking Enterprise Fund's
expenses. Over the course of the Fiscal Year, the number of hours worked by employees
of Republic Parking Services increased by nearly 6,870 over the amount anticipated to
be worked in the Operating Budget. The bulk of the excess hours worked occurred during
the winter and were associated with the failure of our Parking Access Revenue Control
Systems (PARCS), which was terminated by the City. The PARCS system has been
removed and replaced by credit card readers. This will ensure that automation will once
again be possible this winter of 2019-2020.
In addition to increased staff needs associated with the termination of the PARCS system,
a number of special events required additional enforcement shifts this past year. The
Parking Management Office also participated in several special projects requiring
additional staff assistance to include the Resident Permit Parking Area Survey, the
Cavalier Shores Survey, Parking Preference Surveys, and the Atlantic Avenue
Occupancy Study.
In total, projected staffing overruns for Fiscal Year 2019 from Republic Parking Services
are expected to cost $215,000 above what was budgeted for the fiscal year. The Parking
Enterprise Fund also had to purchase or repair a number of one-time only replacement
equipment items that the combined cost totals over $70,000.
• Considerations: The combination of this year's increased activities within the
Parking Enterprise Fund means that the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Parking Enterprise Fund
revenues are not sufficient to meet the obligations for the balance of the fiscal year. As
a result, a $300,000 appropriation of fund balance is needed to provide adequate funding
to pay for the fund's expenditures in Fiscal Year 2018-19. The current unrestricted net
position of the Parking Enterprise Fund as of June 30, 2018 is $3.9 million. In the past
two fiscal years, the Parking Enterprise Fund has had positive total operating income. As
noted above, the replacement of the PARCS system should ensure that the off-season
staffing needs are not an issue this winter.

AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds to Support Rescue Squad
Operations and Training
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical Services
(VBEMS) receives miscellaneous revenue throughout the year from training services
and special event standby services. State revenues are remitted to local agencies for
offering specific advanced life support classes. Departmental training revenues include,
but are not limited to, registration fees and textbook purchases. Special event funds are
payments made by event organizers to offset the costs of volunteer rescue squad
standby services.
Estimated revenues are projected in the VBEMS Operating Budget; however surplus
revenues have been collected. City Council action is required to accept and appropriate
any revenues exceeding budgeted amounts.
To date, VBEMS has received $21,573 in surplus revenue for departmental training
fees as well as EMT class reimbursement fees. In addition, VBEMS received $110,240
from special event organizers for rescue squad standby services. $40,000 was originally
budgeted in the FY 2018-19 Operating Budget, and has already been disbursed to the
rescue squads. The surplus of $70,240 needs to be appropriated in order to be
distributed directly to the squads.
• Considerations: VBEMS recommends using the additional combined training
reimbursements and miscellaneous revenues, totaling roughly $21,573, to resupply the
training equipment for future classes. Examples of items to be purchased include
instructional materials, training equipment, and disposable medical training supplies.
The additional $70,240 special event funds will be immediately disbursed to the
appropriate rescue squads in recognition of services previously rendered.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate State Funds from the Office of Children's
Services and Transfer Funds to Support the Children's Services Act Program
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The Children's Services Act (CSA) establishes a single state pool of
funds to support services for eligible youth and their families. State funds, combined with
local community funds, are managed by local interagency teams that plan and oversee
services to youth. The mission of the CSA is to create a collaborative system of services
and funding that is child-centered, family-focused and community-based when
addressing the strengths and needs of troubled and at-risk youth and their families in the
Commonwealth.
The City of Virginia Beach CSA program is housed in the Department of Human Services
(DHS). The program receives an annual allocation of state funding from the Office of
Children's Services (OCS) and operates under the guidelines of OCS. A local match is
required and varies based on the category of services being provided. On May 13, 2019,
the Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT), which is the governing board for
the CSA program, voted unanimously to make the supplemental request to the state.
OCS approved the request on May 14, 2019.
• Considerations: An analysis of CSA program spending was performed to include
services approved through the end of the fiscal year and amounts previously encumbered
that will not be utilized. It is estimated that an additional appropriation of $2,021 ,237 is
needed to meet current service demands. The blended local match rate for these funds
is 32.55%. The DHS has, within its current year appropriations, the amount of General
Fund match required to support this request, and wishes to transfer$335,096 in vacancy
savings from personnel to non-personnel appropriations. State funds of $1,686,141 have
been made available by OCS on a reimbursement basis.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $124,449 from the Virginia Beach Library
Foundation and to Transfer $91,000 from the General Fund Reserve for
Contingencies to the FY 2018-19 Operating Budget of the Library Department
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background: The Virginia Beach Library Foundation was established in 1982 to
secure, manage and invest privately raised funds, gifts and bequests in support of the
Virginia Beach Public Library. The Foundation provides funds in support of library
programs, materials and technology. Included in the Foundation's funding priorities, which
align with the Department of Libraries' strategic plan, is the purchase of outreach vehicles.
The Foundation has awarded $124,449 to the Department of the Libraries for the
purchase of a new bookmobile for outreach services.
• Considerations: These funds are being donated by the Virginia Beach Library
Foundation and will be used to purchase a new bookmobile for the Department of
Libraries. Per the administrative directive on accepting donations, a memorandum of
understanding exists between the City of Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach Library
Foundation. The City has agreed to contribute $91,000 to the purchase of the new
bookmobile, which covers 50% of the base vehicle cost. The City of Virginia Beach
contribution of $91,000 will be transferred from the General Fund reserve for
contingencies. If this transfer is approved, the remaining balance in the General Fund
reserve for contingencies will be $244,804.

Total $ 4,811,844 $ 4,924,200 $ 112,356
The department is hereby requesting to make the following adjustments to its operating
budget:
• Reduce appropriations by $344 for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) entitlement funds.
• Reduce appropriations by $90,544 for HOME Investment Partnership Program

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: PINEY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions (Religious Use) at the property located at 2804
Holland Road (GPIN 1494590942), COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
■ Background:
On May 21, 2019, City Council voted to defer the request for a withdrawal to June
4, 2019, to allow time to confirm that recently installed lights equipped with motion
sensors are functioning correctly. Staff has reviewed the lights and has deemed
that the lights are in substantial compliance with the granted Conditional Use
Permit. Since the site is in compliance with the existing conditional use permit, this
application is no longer requested or required. A brief history of the application is
listed below.
City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the existing
church on July 14, 2015. The proposed expansion included office space, a new
sanctuary, and increased parking area. This work was to be done in two phases.
Phase one, which includes the office space and parking area, has been completed.
Phase two, the new sanctuary, will be completed as funds become available. The
initial site plan presented to the Planning Commission showed a smaller parking
area, with an existing home along Bald Eagle Drive to remain. Due to
neighborhood concerns regarding traffic and the congregation parking in the
adjacent neighborhood, it was agreed upon by the church at the Planning
Commission meeting to remove the home and provide additional parking area.
There were 17 conditions included in the City Council approval. Condition number
8 addresses the site and parking lot lighting. The condition reads as follows.
"All lighting on the site shall be directed downward and not spill over onto
adjoining residential lots. All parking lot lighting shall be on motion sensors
at night when the church is not in use. Lighting on the front and rear of the
church building may remain on for security purposes, but will be shielded
from residential neighbors."
This condition was added between the Planning Commission meeting and the City
Council hearing. The purpose of the condition was to protect the adjacent
Piney Grove Baptist Church
Page 2 of 3
residential properties from the impact of exterior lighting, particularly when the
church was not in use.
Through the permitting process, plan review and development of the site, the
parking lot lights were installed without motion sensors. The applicant has
submitted this application for consideration to remove the requirement for motion
sensors on the parking lot lights.
Over the past year, City staff has received complaints regarding the glare of the
parking lot LED lights onto the adjacent properties. To improve the impact of the
lights, shields were installed to the rear building lights and the five parking lot lights
closest to the adjacent homes. All lights are directed downward. A photometric
study of the site was conducted by a certified lighting engineer and reviewed by
City staff; no violations were found to the City Zoning Ordinance regarding light
pollution.
At the January 15, 2019 City Council meeting, the applicant requested to withdraw
this modification request. It was their intent to install motion sensors and meet all
conditions of the initial approval. City Council deferred this item for four months to
allow the applicant time to install new parking lot lights with motion sensors. Since
the City Council meeting, the applicant's lighting engineer has met with City staff,
their City Council member and several of the impacted property owners. A solution
was agreed upon to install new light fixtures on the nine light fixtures in the western
parking area. The new fixtures will be on motion sensors and dimming capabilities.
The applicant installed the required motion sensors on May 15. The Director of
Planning, Zoning Administrator and Zoning Inspector have inspected the site and
have deemed the site to be in substantial compliance with the existing Conditional
Use Permit therefore making this request to modify conditions unnecessary. Staff
will continue to monitor the property to assure compliance with the required
conditions.
• Considerations:
The applicant is in compliance with the existing Conditional Use permit and
therefore this application is no longer required. Staff will continue to monitor the
site for compliance with the existing Conditional Use Permit conditions.
■ Recommendations:
City Staff recommends withdrawal of this item due to the request to modify
conditions no longer being required with the site being in compliance with the
existing Conditional Use Permit conditions.

Background and Summary of Proposal
History
Piney Grove church was established in 1870 on a one-acre site in the vicinity of this site,east of Holland Road.As the
church grew, new buildings were constructed on the west side of Holland Road.A Conditional Use Permit was approved
by City Council and the existing church building was dedicated in 1989. It is the fourth church building to be constructed.
The cemetery containing some of the original church members' remains is located on the church's property on the east
side of Holland Road.
Background
City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the existing church on July 14, 2015.The proposed
expansion includes a 14,000 square foot sanctuary with 835 seats,3,050 square feet of office space, a conference room
and a reception area.This work will be done in two phases as funds become available.
The first phase of the expansion project was recently completed.This includes the office space,conference room and
reception area. Parking was added to the site to accommodate the future growth of the church through the proposed
sanctuary building.The second phase, new sanctuary, has not yet been constructed.
During the Planning Commission hearing on June 10,2015,several residents of the adjacent neighborhoods spoke about
the proposal.The primary concerns expressed adequate parking and minimizing traffic impacts.The initial proposal
brought forward to Planning Commission depicted a portion of the lot being developed to accommodate more parking,
however,the existing home along Bald Eagle Road would remain,and possibly be demolished at a later time.Additional
parking would be accommodated on church-owned property on the west side of Holland Road. During the Planning
Commission meeting,a change to the existing plan was agreed upon by the applicant that included removing the
existing home along Bald Eagle Road and developing the entire northern portion of the site with a parking lot.This
modified plan was approved by City Council.
Modification Request
There are 17 conditions included with the City Council approval. Condition number 8 addresses the site and parking
lighting.The condition reads as follows:
"All lighting on the site shall be directed downward and not spill over onto adjoining residential lots.All parking
lot lighting shall be on motion sensors at night when the church is not in use. Lighting on the front and rear of
the church building may remain on for security purposes, but will be shielded from residential neighbors."
This condition was added to the application between the Planning Commission and City Council hearing.The purpose of
the condition was to protect the adjacent residential properties from the impacts of the exterior lighting, particularly at
the hours when the church was not in use.
Through the permitting process, plan review and development of the site,the parking lot lights were installed without
motion sensor capability.The electrical contractor reviewed the feasibility of retro-fitting motion sensors on to the
existing lights, but this proved to be costly.Additionally,the applicant does not believe that the motion sensors
accomplish the intent of the condition.As the condition is written,the church can keep the lights on while in use,which
is typically until 10 p.m.The motion sensors would be used during the night hours and run the risk of being activated by
animals or other factors out of the church's control. It is the applicant's opinion that turning the six lights in the northern
parking lot off when the church is not in use better protects the neighboring properties.
Due to the considerations above,the applicant requests that condition 8 be modified as follows:

"All lighting on the site shall be directed downward and not spill over onto adjoining residential lots.A-1-1-14a-r-king
lot lighting shall be on motion sensors at night when the church is not in use. Parking lot lights in the northern
parking area shall be turned off when the church is not in use. Lighting on the front and rear of the church
building may remain on for security purposes, but will be shielded from residential neighbors."
Over the past year, City Staff has received complaints regarding the glare of the parking lot LED lights onto their
properties.To improve the impact of the lights on the adjacent residential properties, shields were installed on the rear
building lights and five of the parking lot lights closest to adjacent homes. All lights are directed downward. A
photometric study of the site was conducted by a lighting engineer and reviewed by City Staff; no violations were found
to the City Zoning Ordinance in regard to light pollution.
Additional Information
The church has received a Certificate of Occupancy for the new office space.The church is currently working with the
City to correct a few items to be in compliance with the approved conditions of the 2015 Conditional Use Permit, and
the approved site plan in regard to drainage. Specifically,the Zoning Office is working with the church toward
compliance with landscaping and site maintenance. The Permits and Inspections Office and Development Services
Center are working with the church to finalize regrading necessary on site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this request. In Staff's view, retro-fitting motion sensors on the parking lot lights is not
the most effective way to meet the intent of condition number 8 of the approved Conditional Use Permit. Turning the
northern parking lot lights off when the church is not in use will minimize the impact of the lights on the neighboring
residential properties during the night hours.
Staff is continuing to work with the church to resolve the outstanding landscape and drainage items through normal
departmental procedures.

techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan shows that this site is located within the Suburban Area where planning principles call to create
and maintain neighborhood stability and sustainability. As an element of this, stable neighborhoods should be
supported with complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability
of the Suburban Area is ensured for now and the future.The improvements recently completed by the church created a
better parking and traffic situation, and removed vehicular traffic from the neighborhood.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
This vicinity has been home to the Piney Grove Church since the early 1870's.The first Piney Grove Church was a log
cabin, originally located on the west side of Holland Road. As the church grew,they moved to the east side of Holland
Road where larger buildings were constructed.The existing building was dedicated in 1989, and is the fourth Piney
Grove Church building in this area. Some of the earliest church members are buried in the cemetery on the east side of
Holland Road.

Item #6
Piney Grove Baptist Church
Modification of Conditions
2804 Holland Road
District—Princess Anne
November 14, 2018
DENIED
Mr. Fisher: By the vote of 10-0, the agenda item number two has been approved with the added
condition. Our next order of business is agenda item number six, Piney Grove
Baptist Church, which is an application for a modification of conditions for a
religious use on property located at 2804 Holland Road. Is there a representative
here for the application, come to the podium please. You can state your name for
the record sir.
Mr. Williams: Dave Williams, pastor of Piney Grove Baptist Church.
Mr. Thornton: Good afternoon.
Mr. Williams: Good afternoon.
Mr. Thornton: Give us a quick summary what you are here for and anything that you think we
need to know to help make our decision a little easier.
Mr. Williams: Well, the church has put in an application to have a condition removed which is
the condition that states that when the church is not in usage that we will employ
motion sensors on our parking lot lights to illuminate the parking lot. This
condition was born out of the churches need to have the lights on 24 hours, not 24
hours but all throughout the night as other churches have, so that we can have
safety in our parking lot when the church is not in use; however, when our
building project was completed, we discovered that the lights which we have
closest to the church illuminate the church in such a way that we don't have to
have all the parking lot lights fully illuminated throughout the night. Also, the
church has had a lot of rebuttal from the community about having lights on all
night long. This commission recommended that instead of having all lights on as
a compromise that we would go to the motion sensor lights. We now see that
that's not relevant for us to have those lights being that again the lights closest to
the church illuminate the church in such a way that we have the safety that we
initially wanted. The second reason we want to have that condition removed is
because we feel that having those motion sensor lights would be a further
nuisance to the community. We already had some calls, handful of calls from the
community that complained about our lights going off at 9:50 p.m., right now, we
have an automatic shutoff for our main parking lot lights that cuts lights off at
9:50 and we have had some complaints about our lights being on until 9:50, so we
feel that having motion sensor lights coming on with pets coming through the
parking lot, cars, skate boarders, bikers come through the parking lot, turn the
1
lights on all the time at night early in the morning would be a further nuisance to
the community. The third reason we want to have that condition removed is
because the engineer that worked on our project stated to us that he had never
seen a motion sensor system put on parking lot lights. He said in all his 30 years
its stuff that he had never done, contacted some of his peers and colleagues
couldn't get any information from them as well. From my understanding, there's
no other organizational business in this city that has such types of lights on their
system so because there were some issues with our engineer even trying to come
up with a way to do motion sensor lights. We also feel that it was unfair for that
condition to be placed on us when there is nobody else in the city that has motion
sensor lights on their parking lot lights. So for those three reasons, the church is
putting in an application to have that condition removed so that we won't be held
accountable for honoring that condition.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you any questions of the pastor, Karen.
Ms. Kwasny: You said that only some of the lights are automatic shut off right now?
Mr. Williams: So our main parking lot lights are on automatic shut off, if you can look at this
picture here, all the lights that are in this purple box, those lights are on automatic
shut off. The lights that are closer to the handicap parking and that are close to
the very front of the church, we also have some lights going on the right side of
the church around the back that are illuminated all night long and we feel like
those lights illuminate enough to keep the church safe and that the church is not in
darkness all throughout the night, so those lights that are in the purple box, they
shut off at 9:50.
Ms. Kwasny: Do they have a manual override that you can manually override if you vacated the
property prior to 9:50.
Mr. Williams: Do they have a manual override, yes they do.
Ms. Kwasny: Okay.
Mr. Thornton: So you could put those on a timer that goes off at dark, you can adjust the lights
with the system you have now to go off and keep them off at night?
Mr. Williams: Our main parking lot, yes.
Mr. Thornton: In the purple?
Mr. Williams: Yes.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, you just happened to have them set now at 9:50, you can set them?
Mr. Williams: 9:50 now.
Mr. Thornton: You could set them at 7 o'clock if you want or whenever?
Mr. Williams: We could set them at 7 o'clock. However, we have them set according to the
business operation of the church. The church does not shut down until 9 p.m., all
our ministries they have up until 8:30 so whatever we have 33 ministries in our
2
church so whatever they are meeting for, they have until about 8:30 or 9 to
shutdown their meetings and then we have our lockup person who is responsible
for doing the cleanup. We give people opportunity, give our lockup person the
opportunity to do the final cleaning and he is probably able to vacate the premises
not later than 10, so we have them shutoff by 9:50.
Mr. Thornton: Do you have something going on almost every night?
Mr. Williams: Yes.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, Dee.
Ms. Oliver: That was the question, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: So just about every night of the week, you need those lights on until the last
person leaves.
Mr. Williams: Right.
Mr. Thornton: Okay.
Mr. Williams: And we have a staff person who's staffed Monday to Friday that's there from 5
until 9 p.m., he does his final again cleaning up and he is generally out there about
9:30 or 9:40, so he is on full staff.
Mr. Thornton: Other questions, thank you, standby for rebuttal.
Mr. Williams: Thank you.
Mr. Fisher: We do have one speaker in support as well as Ms. Linda Russell come to the
podium please. State your name for the record please.
Ms. Russell: Linda Russell. Okay, I would like to add this morning that Mr. Frankenfield was
saying some really nice things about this church and I would like to add that they
also have a food pantry and they have that just one day a week, every Tuesday
from 10 until 2 that might be some of the reasons, maybe the lights are on longer
or something because when you get food for the food pantry then, you know, you
have to go after businesses close so I imagine that's not something, I would also
like to say because I hope there is some, this community, I go to this church,
sometimes I'm the only white person there and they treat me really, really nice
and I watch this and I have been here for 50 years in my neighborhood and I do
have some common ground because we know about the shootings and everything
and a week before the synagogue, little is said about the grocery store shooting
and they actually tried to get into a black church, so I hope that they find some
common ground with this and make it work for them and I support what the
preacher wants, okay.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you.
Mr. Fisher: Also have two speakers in opposition. Would Mr. Buddy Sparrow, please come to
the podium?
3
Mr. Thornton: Before we start on the opposition side, I need to make a small announcement.
This application is about changing a proffer for parking lot lights, we have all
gotten lots of information and letters and so forth about other issues, those other
issues are being handled by the zoning office, so today we are only here about the
lights. If you have a comment that has to do with drainage or parking or noise or
whatever that you're concerned about we are not going to take those up today.
They have asked for a modification of a proffer that deals with the requirement to
keep lights on and we are dealing with that matter so you know we welcome your
comments but if you have got lots of comments about things that don't have to do
with these lights, we would respectfully request to you to take those up with
Kevin, with the staff at the zoning level because he is well aware of every
problem that you have brought to his attention and they are working on those
matters, so with that we would like the first speaker to come forward.
Mr. Fisher: You can state your name for the record sir.
Mr. Sparrow: Good afternoon, my name is Buddy Sparrow. I reside at 2813 Bald Eagle Road
directly adjacent to Piney Grove Baptist Church. I believe some of the
commissioners had an opportunity last week to visit the site and see firsthand the
impact it's had on our community. They removed a large wooded residential lot
and replaced it with a parking lot elevated 4-1/2 feet above the original elevation.
The uniqueness of this project justifies examining some unique alternatives to
help this project fit in with the community. Both the community and various city
employees have confirmed on numerous occasions that the property is not in use
every evening. I believe some of you have received emailed photographs
recording that condition. Based on those observations, there seems to be some
disparity with the definition of the term in use. Do the lights in the parking lot
adjacent to the community need to be on if the building isn't in use. Additionally,
in an email to staff, pastor Williams noted when people do come to the site at
night during the week, the car volume is not so abundant that cars will be parking
near the homes, and this is the northern parking lot he is referring to. They will
logically park closer to the building and not away from the building. If this is in
fact the case which is what we as residents have observed, why do those lights
need to be on in the first place? Additionally, as pastor Williams noted there are
several lights not attached to the building that remain on all night. The condition
as written now requires only the lights impacting the building can be on all
evening. There is no request in his modification to have those other lights on all
night along. If manual switching and timers can be replaced by motion sensors,
then the definition of in use becomes quite plain, when somebody enters in the
parking lot, the lights will come on. There has been discussion about the potential
for motion sensors to become a nuisance to the community due to triggering by
squirrels and plastic bags, I am not sure what type of motion sensors the folks
bringing this up have experience with but as a home owner with motion sensors
both in and outside of my house that's not what I have observed. The sensors are
adjustable and you can adjust the sensitivity in the area that they are monitoring. I
believe cost has been raised a concern. The lights that were ordered have an
option for a built-in motion sensor from the factory, it appears that wasn't
4
ordered. In closing, I ask this commission not only to retain the requirement for
the motion sensors but remove the language in use and require that the lights in
the parking lot be on motion sensors all the time ensuring the safety of the
congregation and the community, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any questions of Mr. Sparrow, thank you sir.
Mr. Fisher: We do also have one more speaker Ms. Donna Willey. Please come to the
podium and she is also representing the Holland Pines Group, so she will get 10
minutes.
Ms. Willey: Good afternoon, my name is Donna Willey and I reside at 2900 Bald Eagle Bend
which is directly behind the parking lot in the church facility. Thank you for
having me here today to provide perspective on the proposed modification for
condition 8. I think it's important to note that we are here today because the
applicant never complied with the condition as required. The plans are approved
with assurance that the applicant would fully comply with all approved
conditions. The applicant has now retroactively proposed a modification simply
to avoid original obligations to the community. A proposed change strikes the
portion of the condition that requires the applicant to have the lights on motion
sensors because the scope of the project in the parking lot's location adjacent to
residential area, city council added that condition requiring motion sensors. The
adjacent home owner supported this requirement and continues to support this
requirement. We ask that the modification request be denied and that the
condition requiring motion sensors remain enforced as originally written. We
asked that the nine lights in the parking lot behind the home which is in the
northern section behind our homes remain off and on motion sensors only and to
only be manually turned on when this portion of the parking lot will be used for
events where attendance is high. We asked that the four lights behind the home
be fitted with the shields as required per the conditions. We ask that city council
clarify the meaning in use because the conditions did not provide the use of a
timer with a 10 p.m. cutoff and we do not feel either should be substituted for the
original language of in use. In use is a very standard language defined as, the
facility is being occupied. So perhaps the condition needs to be worded
differently so it's clear and concise and specifically states occupied, otherwise,
it's going to be an ongoing issue of semantics. Our desires can be supported
based on the following factors; the finished grade of the parking lot is now four
feet above the original grade of the land used to construct this parking lot. Every
tree was cut down in the buffer area between the church and the homes; these
were mature, tall trees that were to remain as feasible per the conditions. Those
tall trees would have provided a sizable buffer to screen the parking lot lights, the
shrubs we have now are not healthy as they once were when originally planted
and they are actually shorter than they were at the time of planting. They
typically grow about a foot per year, if healthy and maintained; will be at least 10
years before they reach full height. The planning director believes they will grow
2-feet a year. I understand he wants to believe that but if that was the case, they
would be 6-foot tall today and they are barely 3-feet or under. The light poles in
the parking lot total nine and are 18 feet tall meaning that they stand 22 feet above
5
the adjacent lots. All fixtures are installed facing the homes where the light
shines directly into our backyards and our bedroom windows. The lighting in the
parking lot behind our homes spills over into our yards and homes because of
their proximity and a few lights are still not shielded. The condition states that all
lighting must be directed downward and not spill over into adjacent residential
lots. All lights that remain on for security, also must be shielded. Most
importantly in a direct contradiction to the condition none of the light fixtures are
on motion sensors. Every light fixture was ordered devoid of any option to fit the
motion sensors and shields which were required per the conditions. This is
important because these options would have satisfied the approved conditions for
abating excessive lighting at night and it would also be compatible with adjacent
homes. The motion sensors will control the light and alleviate excessive lighting
and a shield on every light would minimize clear and light spill over. These
options were mandated requirements specifically drafted into the CUP and agreed
to by the applicant at the time of approval. There are nine lights installed in the
parking lot directly behind the adjacent homes, all lights down until 10 p.m. or
later, I am there every night and this is what I am seeing. Out of nine of those
lights, only six light poles have been retrofitted with shields. The light fixture
also remains on all night for security purpose and that light is required to be
shielded per the conditions. We continue to ask city management to ask the
applicant to abide by the condition and then install the remaining shields to follow
the CUP. The height and design of the light cannot be directed downward
without a shield. The church's engineer determined the parking lot lights were all
in compliance and not contribute and to spill over on our properties and for that
reason the city is not requiring shields on the remaining light poles that
determination however was made before any spillover assessment was done and
before any shields were even installed. We eventually performed a spillover
assessment on the church's property only with the lights on to get an accurate
reading of light spillover on our properties, he would have had to be standing on
our property and take the reading with the lights on and then another reading with
the lights off. Councilwoman Henley visited my home one evening and we
turned on every interior and exterior light in my home, my entire house was
illuminated from the backyard to the front door and yet the light engineer was
firm that the parking lot lights were not read into glare and spillover. His
determination was objectively false and the city at its own expense paid for
custom shields for security flood lights on the back of the building and it was also
documented that the city was offering to pay for the cost of all shields for the light
poles in the parking lot as well. This is clearly a condition. The proposed
modification eliminates the requirement from motion sensors in all lights.
However, the motion sensors were included in the condition for specific purposes
of protecting the security of the lot late at night but it also alleviating excessive
lighting when the facility was not in use. Motion sensors are a very practical
solution and rather inexpensive considering the size of the lot. Motion sensors are
installed in a similar fixture in large parking lots in our city such as car
dealerships and a few parking garages and this was confirmed by another
reputable lighting company who said that lighting, motion sensors are very
6
practical solution given this is directly behind residential homes. The motion
sensors are also equipped with adjustable settings so you can calibrate the sensors
in terms of sensitivity, the area monitored and how long the triggered lights stays
on. The lights will not be triggered on and off by a leaf blowing or a squirrel
running, the estimate to install the sensors was 1,800 dollars for all nine light
poles behind our homes; however, the applicant received quite a few other
estimates of approximately 14,000 to 15,000 and that cost is significantly higher
only because the applicant desires to keep the lights on a timer which takes
precedence over the sensors and requires extensive wiring and adding another
circuit, so it can be simply done. Motion sensors could have been added last
January for only 1,800 dollars. So that first estimate was provided to the
applicant in January weeks after the lights were installed. The largest source of
dispute is the meaning not in use. The applicant has stated that the facility is in
use every night until 10 p.m. In January, the city agreed to a temporary solution
where the applicant may have the lights on a timer that would automatically shut
them off at 10 p.m. only until that motion sensors were installed, today that has
not even happened, for four or five months city management was stating to us that
they were requiring the church to install the motion sensors; however, that wasn't
true because the determination letter was drafted, at the very beginning of January
stating that the applicant was opposed to the motion sensors. So for four or five
months, city staff was telling us that they were researching motion sensors, they
were requiring the church to add the motion sensors but that was never done.
Now, the applicant seeks to eliminate that portion of the condition making the
temporary agreement a permanent solution which completely undermines the
spirit and intended purpose of the condition itself. Nowhere in the condition does
it state anything about a 10 p.m. cutoff time or a timer, keeping lights on a timer,
the applicant is left to interpret in use by his own interpretation whereby the
applicant has demonstrated by using the timer, the lights will remain on every
night regardless, which has been the case for almost a year now. These
modifications were unilaterally crafted and implemented by the applicant under
the pretense that the facility is in use until 10 p.m. each night of the week;
however, most nights the facility is not in use and certainly not until 10 p.m. We
are in the position where we feel like we need to physically document this reality
with pictures because the applicant's statement of hours of operation is not a
reflection of reality and what we are actually seeing on a nightly basis and I have
lived here for 22 years and the pattern that remains tonight at night is the same
pattern since the beginning when I moved here 22 years ago. We understand that
can change and we support the church's growth and understand this could change
and the light maybe required to be on when the parking lot is completely utilized
at night, just wanted to let you know we are not oppose to any changes down the
road if they grow larger. We are in the position where we feel the nights the
facility is not used and certainly not until 10 p.m. that we need to physically
document this reality with pictures because the hours of operations are not
reflecting the reality of what we are seeing on a nightly basis, sorry just repeated
that. The facility is not in use on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings unless
7
it's a holiday or special event and those were the nights where we tend to be
outside enjoying our homes.
Mr. Thornton: Can you wind up please; you hit your time limit.
Ms. Willey: Is it 10 minutes?
Mr. Thornton: Already.
Ms. Willey: It's been 10 minutes already, okay.
Mr. Thornton: Just one quick summary.
Ms. Willey: Lastly, the applicant sent an email stating that volume of cars arriving at night
will not be abundant and those cars will not be parking by the homes, they will
logically park closer to the building away from the homes. Given that admission,
motion sensors would best serve the interest of the applicant and alleviate
excessive lighting at night time, there are no cars arriving or staying late at night
for weeknight functions when cars leave around 8:30. There is no cleaning crew
staying until 10 p.m. and the reason for leaving the lights on from 9 until 10 p.m.,
was so his cleaning crew could leave; however, we don't feel that 20 lights have
to remain on when those cars, maybe it's one or two cars, they are parked directly
in front of the church and that is lit from dust to dawn, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, now before you go, does anybody have any questions of the speaker?
Ms. Kwasny: I do.
Mr. Thornton: Karen.
Ms. Kwasny: So Donna I just want to clarify, I know you had a myriad of other issues and
Chairman Thornton had asked that you not delve into those and so first I
appreciated that you kept it focused on the lights, your request is for the lights to
be on the sensor at all times and so not on but on the sensor, correct and it's only
these lights within the purple framework, right.
Ms. Willey: Yeah, if they remain on the sensor, if anyone desired to drive past there or park
there, the lights would motion on and you can keep those on for 10-20 minutes
which is enough time if someone wanted to park back there, also it would save
electricity.
Ms. Kwasny: I just was asking, so I could very clearly state what that is and then the other thing
as you said that not all of the shields have been installed?
Ms. Willey: Correct, according to the conditions all lights must be shielded from the
residential adjacent homes in order to abate light spillover and control the light
downward. The only way is to do that is to shield. We did consult with another
reputable lighting engineer which came out to the site and before the shields were
installed and she is like these, none of the lights have a shield and she has never
done, and she does many churches and she works with these exact light pictures
and she said she has never done any project where the lights were not shielded.
So only six of the lights have shields because their lighting engineer has
8
determined from day one that all the lights are working fine and not contributing
to spillover on the property; however, I sent you a picture before any lights were
shielded and my entire house was illuminated inside and outside, that's before any
shields were added. The city reluctantly allocated the budget and covered the cost
as far as I was concerned of the shields but they said they would only do six
shields because the church's lighting engineer was adamant and said the lights
could not contribute to light spillover but I had another expert lighting engineer
who claims simply the light not be directed downward without a shield, otherwise
that bulb, the lights going to travel sideways, upwards, straight, I mean every
direction also contributing to night glow, so having the shields on the lights which
is better, now that we have six of them on the shields, if it's better and its
controlling the lights where it's forcing downward so there are still three lights
requiring shields.
Ms. Kwasny: Got it, okay, and thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Dee.
Ms. Oliver: I have couple of questions, when did Mrs. Henley come out?
Ms. Willey: She came out to my house in February to assess the lighting.
Ms. Oliver: Would that just be the day .
Ms. Willey: It's like mid February.
Ms. Oliver: Of this past year, okay and so she saw firsthand that the light was intrusive to
your home?
Ms. Willey: Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, question for city staff, the original condition, did that include those light
shields for those poles, my iPad is down so I can't and—.
Mr. Frankenfield: There is a difference between shields and shielding, so we installed shields
as recommended by the lighting engineer where they were recommended they
were needed, we did not install shields where our photometric calculations
showed they did not spillover.
Ms. Oliver: So the ones that we were, that you all that the city thought needed to be in place
were in place.
Mr. Frankenfield: Yes and the city did not pay for those shields.
Ms. Oliver: And when did that happen was that before or after Mrs. Henley was out?
Mr. Thornton: It had to be after.
Mr. Frankenfield: It was after.
Ms. Oliver: It was after and are they helping?
9
Ms. Willey: They are making it better but the lights that are not shielded which are further
placed at the other homes are away from me are definitely contributing the glare
and spillover.
Ms. Oliver: So the next question I have is, were they supposed to have timers on those lights;
I mean motion detectors sorry, motion detectors?
Mr. Frankenfield: That's the condition, yes.
Ms. Oliver: That was the original condition, okay; I just want to make sure, I just want to.
Mr. Frankenfield: When the church was not supposed to be used when the church is not use
that was the condition.
Ms. Willey: I believe yeah, the lights are to remain off on motion sensors only when it's not in
use, that's all I have.
Mr. Thornton: David Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: The lights that are further away from you, are those the lights on the church
themselves, those aren't the lights on the poles correct?
Ms. Willey: No, all the lights I am referring to that still require shields are in the parking lot
which is directly behind the homes.
Mr. Thornton: That's the area behind what's shown as existing building.
Ms. Willey: Yes sir, would you like me to point to them?
Mr. Thornton: No, I got it, the lights that are inside the purple box have shields but no sensors
and they are on a timer.
Ms. Willey: There are nine lots total, its right there, right there, they are only showing six.
There are nine lots total in that lot which is not used on the nightly basis, nine
lights total are required to have shields in order to for a light to say it's shielded,
you have to have it shield. I mean it's like having a LED light and reading the
book and without a shield or lampshade, I mean it's impossible, I mean you are
going to have a glare but if you put a shield on the light, that shield is the only
way it can direct the light downward. So there is a total of nine lights in that
parking lot according to the conditions that are supposed to be directed downward
and that can only be achieved with the shield on each light and again lighting
engineer that came and visited the site, she said there is absolutely, virtually no
possible way that the lights can be shielded without the shield and you have to
consider there are 18-foot tall fixtures elevated 5-feet above our properties
making them 22 feet tall. So they are shining directly into our bedroom window.
Mr. Thornton: So my question was the area in purple, I was under the impression they are six
lights, you are telling me there are nine lights, so there must be two more, must be
three more lights out front.
Ms. Willey: So six, seven, eight and there is one here nine.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, so.
10
Ms. Willey: There are a total of nine lights.
Mr. Thornton: But six lights have been shielded is that correct or have shields?
Mr. Frankenfield: Six lights have shields.
Mr. Thornton: Six lights have shields and you are saying there are nine lights over there, so that
means by my math, there are three that don't have shields.
Ms. Willey: Correct.
Mr. Thornton: Okay and then there are lights behind the existing building that have no shields?
Ms. Willey: No, the city paid for those shields and those are extremely bright so the city paid
for the shields of those lights.
Mr. Thornton: Behind the existing building.
Ms. Willey: Behind the building, there is about seven security lights which were outrageously
bright and they still are even with shields, it's little bit better but those lights
protrude right through those homes.
Mr. Thornton: So from a math count, there are three lights that need shields and all lights that
need motion sensors per your argument.
Ms. Willey: We are asking that only nine lights receive motion sensors and those three
remaining lights of those nine, receive shields, because the facility, the parking lot
is completely illuminated up front and back and along the side for anyone arriving
any time during the night, it's fully illuminated from dusk to dawn.
Mr. Thornton: What we are trying to do now is just figure out what might be a solution so if six
lights have shields, three lights don't have shields and none of the lights have
motion sensors, what you are wanting is that six lights that are shielded to have
motion sensors.
Ms. Willey: Nine lights.
Mr. Thornton: Nine lights, nine lights.
Ms. Willey: Though condition states that all, the condition states all parking lot lights must be
on motion sensors, which includes the lights up front but we are not asking for
that.
Mr. Thornton: Just those nine.
Ms. Willey: Just the nine and the cost estimate to get the motion sensors was on about $1,800,
it's a very simple thing, you unscrew the light, put it in there and it has adjustable
settings where you can adjust the sensitivity, the movement, and the distance. So
they won't be going on.
Ms. Oliver: I want to clarify something.
Mr. Thornton: Let somebody else.
11
Ms. Oliver: I just want to clarify something,just, I think we all understand the shields and we
all understand the motion detectors. What I am not clear on maybe everybody
else is but I am not is every night seven nights a week, are those parking lot lights
the ones on the north side of the parking lot on, are they just on.
Ms. Willey: Yes until 10 p.m...
Ms. Oliver: Okay, so they have the switch,they are on until 9:50 p.m. every night.
Ms. Willey: They are on the timer, not 9:50, its 10 p.m. at the earliest.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, so are you asking or is the condition written because I am not quite sure I
am straight with this that you would, that the neighborhood prefers or the
condition asks for them to be on a motion detector instead of them just being on.
Ms. Willey: Yes, because that's what the condition states. The condition states that all parking
lot lights must remain off in the facilities not in use and on motion sensors only.
Ms. Oliver: But if it's in use the pastor of the church turns the lights on.
Ms. Willey: Well what we are saying is if both motion sensors are installed and the timers
removed, then if they have a large event like so in entire year like Christmas Eve,
New Year's Eve and Spring Revival those are the only nights that side parking lot
has been used where it's high attendance, simply they could just turn the,
manually turn them on and then turn them off when they are done and many
churches do that.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, I just, that's all I just was trying to, make sure I understood. No, no, you
are fine, I just wanted to make sure I understood clearly when they are on and
when they are off and what the neighborhood wanted.
Ms. Willey: Can I make another, maybe that might clear.
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Ms. Willey: So a reason for making the request for all the lights to be on motion sensors and
off is because by his own admission, he acknowledged that the parking lot will
never be used at nights except for big events and there is a total of 50-60 spots
directly in front of the church behind and along the side where it's fully
illuminated from dusk to dawn making it safe and well lit for anyone arriving any
time during the night, that's where the front doors are and that's where the
parking now and that's why we are asking this.
Ms. Oliver: Perfect. That's correct.
Mr. Thornton: Dave Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:I would like to try and get, we have gotten away for off field I think talking about
what is, and isn't this, or isn't that. This is all about, this application is all about
that little paragraph right there, and I want to strike one line and add another, I
think it's important that we stay focused on that. She has hit on this which has to
do with whether or not there motion sensors has nothing to do with the elevation
12
of the parking lot, I don't care about that, has nothing to do with that. This
application is about striking that line, motion detectors on those lights and adding
a line that says parking lots in northern parking area shall be turned off when the
church is not in use, I suggest we stick to that.
Ms. Willey: And that's the issue we are having because.
Mr. Redmond:You made that quite clear. You have been quite clear.
Ms. Willey: Okay.
Mr. Thornton: We are good, any other questions for the speaker, thank you.
Ms. Willey: Okay, thank you so much for your time.
Mr. Thornton: Anybody else signed up to speak, okay good, will the applicant care to come back
with any rebuttal, pastor.
Mr. Williams: Very quickly, I want to state for the record and I can be corrected if you can that
our condition does not state that we are supposed to have shields on our lights. If
I am not mistaken that was never put in there. However, there were some
complaints from the community stating that the lights were bright. I requested an
engineer to come out and do a testing because I think according to policy that we
cannot have any spillover of lighting on our neighboring property, that test was
done and there was no spillover in our neighboring property. Our engineer come
out to do a second test and to make sure that the moon wasn't shining and to ask
all our neighbors to turn off their lights so that there wouldn't be a misreading, I
wanted to get as accurate of our reading as possible. He did that, he looked at the
calendar, came out on a day where the moon was not illuminated, turned our
lights on again, did another testing and again there was no spillover so by policy
or condition, the church did not have to shield it's lights; however, because we
heard from the community though there was no spillover, they felt that the LED
lights were still offensive to look at. I instructed our staff to go ahead and
approve for shields to be put on. The lights were already shining downward
alright. There was no spillover at all but to be a good neighbor alright, we
installed the shields. And the reasoning for the shields on six lights instead of
nine is because there is no property, no housing development where these three
lights, they were not shielded are, so we felt that there was no need to put shields
right there because there is no home right there. We put shields on the lights that
will be closest to the residents even though there was no spillover. We installed
those shields anyway alright so they wouldn't be offensive to look at as some of
our residents were saying. The other thing is you know what Piney Grove wanted
initially is to do what every other church in the city does and that's just to simply
keep our parking lights on all night long just like every other church does. We
ride down the street and we see every other church with their lights on all night
long but again to be a good neighbor, we agreed to cut our lights off, when our
lights are not in use, in use is the word that was keeping thrown around does not
mean when there is 50 people inside the building, I interpreted in use to mean
according to business hours. If you are going to McDonalds and you don't see
13
one car in the parking lot, getting burgers or french fries, they don't turn their
lights off because there are no people in there eating, they keep their lights on
according to their business hours. We feel like it's fair that if we don't agree to
cut our lights off and not leave our lights on just like every other church in the
city does, we agree to cut them off at 9:50 when our business hours are over.
Again our last ministries are done around 8:30 or 9, they have that time to come
in, do their rehearsal, do whatever they are doing and we give our cleanup person
who is on staff opportunity to cleanup and get out at about 9:50 or 10 p.m.
Mr. Thornton: Red light came on;just give me a quick windup.
Mr. Williams: So again I just want to make sure that the planning commission is staying true to
the issue, we are not trying to avoid anything, we have gone over and above about
the things that we did not have to do, all we want to do is how this condition to be
stricken off that we do not have to do these motion sensors because it's not
relevant for the church anymore. We feel that we have enough illumination with
the lights that are closer to the church and they keep us safe and that's all I have.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any questions for the speaker, thank you sir.
Mr. Williams: Thank you.
Mr. Horsley: I have one question, would you consider putting the shields on those other three
lights?
Mr. Williams: It doesn't affect me at all; again that nobody lives there, so that's the reason. If it
has been fits to community, the shields that are closer to the people that spoke
those lights are already shielded, so I don't see why these three lights would
further.
Mr. Horsley: They indicate they like to have those three shielded as far I am asking, would you
consider doing that?
Mr. Williams: If they wanna pay for it,the city wants to pay for it, I don't care.
Mr. Horsley: In other words, you don't think that the church wants to do that.
Mr. Williams: I don't think that the church wants to do that because it is not impacting anyone at
all, there is nothing that but trees and concrete.
Mr. Thornton: Okay thank you.
Mr. Williams: Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: With that, we will close the public hearing and make it open to comment,
discussion and possibly a motion, questions,Dave Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:So I think Mr. Frankenfield will confirm, that there are times when things get
through this body and city council that are unintended and have unintended
consequences and sometimes they make your life difficult.
Mr. Frankenfield: I am not answering.
14
Mr. Redmond:But I think it's quite, I think that's clear. I am unaware, any other church, any
other shopping center, any other commercial building, any ball field that has
lights that are required to have motion sensors on them, I have never heard of that
here. I have never heard that in commercial industry and that's the industry I
work in. So to me how this got between planning commission and city council in
here I don't understand how that happened, but I have never seen it. I have never
seen it required of anybody else, I think pastor makes a good point when he says
this requires us to do something that's not required of any other people, I get that
there are neighbors who don't like the expansion of this church, I mean, that's
pretty clear, nonetheless seems to me we would be treating them quite unfairly
and unlike we treat every other commercial operation of which I am aware and I
am unaware of that kind of treatment applied to anybody else, so if that's not true,
let me know by the way because I just don't know, maybe but I have never seen
it, so I just don't know that we do that, so anyway it seems to me that they are
trying to make a good faith effort to shield these lights again I don't want to get
mixed up in your photometrics but to try and minimize the impact of these lights
is common frankly for commercial buildings to have lights on, at a certain time of
night and then turn them off, so that strikes me as sufficient and so I would be
supportive of the application.
Mr. Thornton: Jeff.
Mr. Hodgson: I have a slightly different take, I think sometimes it comes down to being good
neighbors and working together and try to come up with the solution that may not
be the cookie cutter answer all the way across the city, but a unique one, and
when I went to the site, I think it was last Thursday, and I know we're not going
to talk about the other issues but I was kind of shocked at what I saw there and
how I am actually looking into people's backyards from the front parking lot and
if a concession that they are asking for are just those sensors which I have a hard
time believing they are going to be the cause that I was told to put on there, I
don't think it's a lot to ask for what ended up there in their backyard so and it's
what was in the application, so I can go with the neighbor on this one.
Mr. Thornton: Alright, David Weiner and then.
Mr. Weiner: Back little bit on that, I mean, when the application left here and city council, the
residents were thinking sensors and like Jeff said when we drove in there I had no
idea that parking lot was that high, we were not certainly thinking about so I am
kind of torn, and I and Jeff are little torn I don't know which direction to go in, I
feel like they really need to have some type of sensors, it seems like we were
talking about the timer earlier, timers are not working apparently so I am little
torn, I don't know which way to go.
Mr. Thornton: Karen.
Ms. Kwasny: I am not torn at all, I think that condition was put in there and the process of city
council and the community was agreeable to it because it would allow them a
level of comfort and safety and privacy, a sense of privacy and we aren't talking
about the issues that have exacerbated that situation but they are part of the
15
consideration nevertheless and I think the sensors are reasonable compromise to
provide them with a level of quality of life that they are now lacking and so I am
not torn on it, I feel strongly that the sensors are reasonable compromise, they are
inexpensive, they can be put on the sensitivity levels that won't necessitate them
going on when the squirrel crosses the lot and I think it's a reasonable
compromise to add to put it back in or leave it in as it is.
Ms. Oliver: To me, it's obvious that it's affecting the quality of life of the neighbors and we
do try to be good neighbors and when we are looking at people expanding their
businesses and they impact the residential area, we are very mindful of even
though we are not supposed to address it and we are only supposed to address the
lights but we are looking at the landscaping and things like that and it's obvious
that it's missing because that's part of what we apply to these applications to
protect the neighbors from commercial when it butts up against each other is the
landscaping and the lights and the wattage of the lights and is there a shield and
can these people sleep at night and what's the traffic like, what's the noise like
and all of those things factor in and in this case this is affecting greatly when one
of the council members goes in and can see the light shining in their houses and
even with the shields it still affecting them, then I think that you know it's, we
have to look at that strongly and I don't think that asking the church to be good
neighbor is too much to ask, so.
Mr. Thornton: Any other questions, I want if you all will look at paragraph eight, it's kind of
interesting that what has been taken out is all parking lot lighting shall be on
motion sensors at night when the church is not in use and that means when
nobody is there, the lights are off but they can come on if somebody runs across
the parking lot, what they are asking for is that the parking lot lights be turned off
when the church is not in use, meaning there is no way for them to come back on.
So for the neighborhoods sake if the motion sensors are put back there and the
lights are out when the church is not in use, they could come on and go off and
come on and go off all night long if dogs, squirrels, cats, rabbits, or garbage bags
blow across the yard, if they have the condition that they are asking for and the
lights are off, they are not coming back on, the motion sensors not going to kick
them on, kick them off, it's only when it's not in use, the condition for both of
these conditions is not in use. So one not in use conditions is if they are off and
the other not in use conditions is they are on a motion sensor so be careful what
you ask for because if you make the church put a motion sensor in when they are
not in use, they can come on and go off and come on and go off all night long and
whether they will do that somebody has said you can adjust them in the sensitivity
such so just be aware of the way this wording is for the rest of us on this
commission if they are off when they are off and they cannot come back on they
are off, but if they are off on a motion sensor, they can come back on and go off
so I just wanted to point out that these two items are not that different other than
in one case they can come on and go off and come on and go off all night long
and the other condition is that they cannot come back on if they are off, if it's a
switch and they are off they are off. So I want us to consider that when we decide
what to do with this matter, does that make sense, that's the way it's worded
16
that's exactly, it's not saying that they have to be on when the church is, it's not
saying that they have to be on when the church is in use, it's when it's not in use.
Okay, so it's not going to fix much especially if you have a lot of coyotes and fox
and trash bags blown around the neighborhood, they go come on and go off and
come on and go off all night long.
Mr. Horsley: What you say is exactly right Bob but I am not sure that that's going to fix what
these people's problem is, you know, I mean the timer when they go off at 9:50,
they go off and then they come back on at the next night whenever they got the
timer set to come back on. So I mean, but if you put them on a motion detector,
you know, they can come on any time during the night and they will, I mean, and
that would entice people even more to drive, you know, two or three guys go back
in parking and drink beer or whatever at night and the lights come on, you know,
maybe they want them to do that if they are going to do that but I am just saying
that come on, so I think really the situation where they go off with the timer and
they are off for all night, rest of the night.
Mr. Thornton: Anyway that you know if you read it very carefully when they are off, they are
off, when it's not in use, they are off, they have told and they have agreed in both
conditions when they turn them off, when they are not there, they turn them off
and in one case, they can come back on off and on, off and on and in the other
case, they cannot come back on, to put on the timer.
Mr. Horsley: I think in my understanding, the resident should like them to stay on the motion
detector all the time.
Ms. Kwasny: Instead of them being on.
Mr. Horsley: And instead of them being on from 7-10 at night but then they would go on and
off all night along.
Mr. Thornton: My guess is that they will be back here in a few months and you know this is not
right because it's driving us crazy with lights on and lights off and lights on and
lights off.
Mr. Kwasny: You know Bob, we close the public hearing but it might have been interesting to
ask Donna the question as to why she would want something like that versus what
you just explained because I mean that's the concern perhaps that's the concern
the community needs to hear that there isn't that great of a distinction except that
the lights go on at night and if the lights are going on at night because somebody
is in the parking lot that might be exactly what they want.
Mr. Thornton: Well, I don't know the answer to that; I just want to point out what the reality is
once we make a decision.
Mr. Redmond:Ideal would be if they always went off at 10 o'clock and if they weren't in use,
the sensors would turn them on during days of not use up until 10 o'clock so it
almost be a combination of those two, so that you never had, that I don't know if
it could easily be done or not, but the lights would always cutoff at 10 but they
turn on with the sensors up until 10 when traffic or something is seen there,but.
17
Mr. Thornton: They don't have any requirement to turn them off now if they are there. If they
are there, they are going to turn them all on, if one person is there, two people are
there or 20 people, they can do that by right. Dave.
Mr. Redmond:You know we're not writing this from scratch. This is a specific application.
This applicant asked to strike that one line and add the other, so that's we are
looking at. We are not drafting, not sitting down drafting a brand new paragraph
on something like that and any applicant has a right to have their application
heard. I think we should stick to that.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, we will allow the motion, anybody wants to make a motion, hang on.
Ms. Kwasny: Bob, I have a question, I think we should ask Ms. Willey that, Kay said that we
can bring her back up to ask that question.
Mr. Thornton: Okay.
Ms. Kwasny: I mean, you are striking a line to, the applicant would like to strike a line and the
community would like the line to remain in and I think that we should ask her if
you don't see a distinction or one we see as more valuable as a commission, it
would be good to know whether or not, why the community wants something
different.
Mr. Thornton: Glad to ask her back up, would you grace us with your presence in a minute or
less.
Ms. Willey: So I definitely want to clarify that motion sensors are very practical and they are
used in large dealerships throughout the city. The reason being for protection, the
parking lot behind my home it's hidden from the street, it's a very dark corner and
the motion sensors would only come in play with heavy movement such as a car,
they will not be come on and off, you can probably visit a car dealership, they
only come on with heavy movement like if there is a car or car decided to come
back here and the reason we are asking for motion sensors is not because there
won't be any nuisance because they all have adjustable settings where you can set
it at a low sensitivity level from zero meaning it would come on with the leaf or
10 where it would only be come on with car movement and the reason for that is
because we do have cars loitering back there in the middle of the night, throwing
beer bottles, blasting their music loud and I get up and I turn my night floodlights
on, this is happening several times 2-3 a.m. and as soon as I turn that light on,
they leave so that is the purpose for having motion sensors so it gives us that extra
sense of security but you have to understand these are just not like motion sensors
we put in the home, they have all adjustable settings that they are made for this
particular reason.
Mr. Thornton: We got it that answered your question Karen?
Ms. Kwasny: Yeah, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Anybody else, Mike.
Mr. Inman: I will make a motion, we deny the application.
18
Mr. Thornton: Do I have a second?
Ms. Kwasny: Yeah second.
Mr. Thornton: Alright have a motion, have a second.
Ms. Dozier: Vote is open.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 7-3, the agenda item number six has been denied.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: ANINA BUDIG [Applicant] WEBLIN PROPERTIES, LLC [Property Owner]
Conditional Rezoning (R-10 Residential to Conditional PD-H2 Planned Unit
Development (R-10 Overlay)) 5588 Moores Pond Road (GPIN 1468564635),
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE.
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2019
• Background:
On May 22, City Council received correspondence from the State Historic
Preservation Officer regarding this application. With the review of the proposed
use pending with the State Board, Staff recommends deferral of this item to the
August 20 public hearing.
The Weblin property is a 6.54 acre site located on Moores Pond Road in the
Bayside District. There are four existing dwellings on the property: a single-family
home (the Weblin House); a duplex; and a garage apartment. In addition, the site
includes a number of farm buildings including a milk barn, three silos, a
greenhouse, and sheds. The eastern portion of the site is used to grow hops. The
applicant requests a Conditional Rezoning from R-10 Residential to Conditional
PD-H2 (R-10 Overlay) Planned Unit Development in order to provide a total of 15
residential units on the property under a Co-op regime — four in the existing
dwellings, six in two new residential buildings, and five in the renovated milk barn.
The proffered building elevations for the two new residential buildings reflect a rural
architectural vernacular that includes front porches, and a simple gable standing
seam metal roof. Other design accents include a brick foundation, grey cement
fiberboard siding, and beige cement fiberboard trim. The exterior of the existing
milk barn will be repainted in a complimentary color.
The Virginia Historic Preservation Foundation granted a Deed of Easement for the
Weblin House property to the Virginia Board of Historic Resources on October 24,
1997. The Easement provides specific protections and restrictions for the property
and runs with the land in perpetuity, meaning the terms of the Easement apply to
all subsequent property owners. The City of Virginia Beach cannot enforce the
terms of the Easement, as the City is not the holder of the Easement. Based on a
letter received by the applicant from the Commonwealth's Department of Historic
Resources, the proposed development is consistent with the terms of the
easement.

• Considerations:
The proposed Conditional Rezoning is deemed by Staff and the Planning
Commission to be acceptable. The concept put forth by the applicant was carefully
crafted to ensure minimal impact to both the historic character of the property and
surrounding community. The plan, while not a typical suburban-style
neighborhood, respects the Weblin House and the historic structures that are
protected by the existing historic easement. This is evident by the reuse of the
existing historic milk barn and farm buildings, use of rural vernacular architecture
and building materials, and preservation of interesting historic structures. In
addition, the proposed density at 2.29 units per acre is lower than the typical
allowable density of three dwelling units per acre in the R-10 Residential District.
The Virginia Department of Historic Resources finds the concept to be in
compliance with the Historic Deed of Easement. Speakers at the Planning
Commission meeting expressed concerns about the application including the
nature of the future property ownership, compatibility with the surrounding
community, conformance with the terms of the Historic Deed of Easement, and
potential increase in traffic. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as
Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 8-2 with one
abstention.

RE: Weblin House,City of Virginia Beach
Easement File No. 134-0035_ep
Dear Mayor Dyer and Members of City Council: .
As you are aware, the Board of Historic Resources(Board)holds an easement on the Weblin
House property located at 5588 Moore's Pond Road in Virginia Beach. The Department of
Historic Resources(DHR),through its Easement Program, administers the easement on behalf of
the Board.
It is our understanding that Ms. Anina Budig's application for Conditional Rezoning from R-10
Residential to Conditional PDH2 R-10 Overlay Planned Unit Development of the above-
referenced property was approved at a public hearing of the Virginia Beach Planning
Commission on April 10,2019 and that City Council will be voting on this matter at a public
meeting on June 4, 2019.
The conditions and restrictions under the easement are separate and distinct from the conditions
and restrictions promulgated by the City of Virginia Beach(City), as are the processes through
which they are imposed. Accordingly, any approvals or disapprovals made by DHR with respect
to the easement on Weblin House property should have no determinative bearing on decisions
made by the City, and any decision made by the City will have no determinative bearing on
DHR's administration of the easement. To the extent that City Council or the Planning
Commission have relied on communications between DI-IR and the property owner in making
any decisions on this matter,we would like to provide you with the current status of the project

Dear Ms.Budig:
As you know,the Board of Historic Resources(Board)holds an easement on the Weblin House property
located at 5588 Moore's Pond Road in Virginia Beach. The Department of Historic Resources(DHR),
through its Easement Program,administers the easement on behalf of the Board. Administration of the
easement includes reviewing project requests and necessitates Easement Program staff's determination as to
whether the project is consistent with the terms of the easement.
Due,in part,to the recent activity regarding this property,members of the Board have requested that DHR take
a deeper look into this matter at the highest levels in our agency to gather additional information and determine
whether the project,as proposed,is in fact consistent with the terms of the easement. Members of the Board
have also requested that this project be included on the agenda for the upcoming Board meeting to be held on
June 20th at Sweet Briar College.
In order to comply with Board members'requests,please provide us with the governing documents,including
the declaration,for the entity to be used in the proposed cooperative ownership structure and any other
documents or information you may have regarding the proposed project and ownership structure. Any
information that you are able to submit prior to the June 20th Board meeting will be shared with the Board and
will facilitate our review of your project.
We look forward to receiving the requested information. Should you have any questions,please contact me at
(804)482-6093 or by email at Elizabeth.Tune(a'dllr.virginia.gov.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The application was deferred at the February 13, 2019 Planning Commission at the request of the applicant.
There have been no changes to the application since the deferral.
• The property includes the historic Weblin House, named for John Weblin,Jr., who owned the land from 1686
until 1716 and built the house during that time period.The Weblin House is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places, the Virginia Landmarks Register and the Virginia Beach Historical Register. Listing on each of
these registers is honorary and provides no restrictions or regulations.
• H.C. Moore purchased the property in 1924 and continued the agricultural use that had historically been
associated with the property. In 1976,there were 150 acres associated with the house. In 1994, the Moore
family sought to subdivide the remaining 10 acres for development. Despite the historic agricultural use of the
property, the land was zoned residential, specifically R-10 and R-40 Residential Districts. In 1996,the property
was subdivided and the R-40 land was rezoned to R-10. This resulted in 30 individual parcels along the new
Weblin Farm Road. Most of the dwellings were built on these sites in 1998 and 1999.
• The 6.54 acre site currently exists with four dwelling units that include one single-family dwelling, a single-family
dwelling that was converted to a duplex, and a garage with an apartment above. In addition, the site includes
various structures such as a greenhouse, the milk barn, and various sheds.The eastern portion of the site is
being used to grow hops.
• The Virginia Historic Preservation Foundation granted a Deed of Easement for the Weblin House property to the
Virginia Board of Historic Resources on October 24, 1997.The Easement is for approximately 6.5 acres, including
the Weblin House, and provides specific protections and restrictions for the property.The Easement runs with
the land in perpetuity, meaning the terms of the Easement apply to all subsequent property owners.The City of
Virginia Beach does not enforce the terms of the Easement, as the City is not the holder of the Easement. A
letter from the Department of Historic Resources stating that the concept is found to be in compliance with the
easement is provided on pages 17 - 18 of this report.
• The applicant requests a Conditional Rezoning from R-10 Residential to Conditional PD-H2 (R-10 Overlay)
Planned Unit Development in order to renovate the interior of the milk barn and to redevelop the area where
there is currently an existing garage and two vacant farm buildings. A total of 15 dwelling units are proposed—
five in the milk barn, three in each of the two new residential buildings, and four in the existing residential units
on the site. As the existing duplex appears to have been converted without the benefit of proper permits, the
applicant is working with Permits and Inspections to bring the structure into compliance with current standards.
According to the application, the property will be under a co-op ownership with an owners' association
responsible for the maintenance of the property.
• The three existing silos will remain and will be repaired as necessary. The exterior of the existing milk barn will
be repainted.The proffered elevations for the two new residential buildings reflect a rural vernacular that
includes front porches, and a simple gable standing seam metal roof. Other design accents include a brick
foundation, grey cement fiberboard siding, and beige cement fiberboard trim.
• Per the Zoning Ordinance open space requirement, and as stipulated in the proffers and on the plan, a minimum
of 15%open space will be provided, primarily on the northern and eastern portion of the site.This equates to
0.98 acres. This standard is met, as approximately two acres of open space is depicted on the proffered plan. It is
the applicant's intent to maintain as much of the existing plant material as possible. Additional plantings include
a four-foot tall hedge in the rear yards of the two proposed residential buildings in an effort to add more

screening. Any crops or goods that are harvested on site will not be allowed to be commercially sold, as the
property will be rezoned for residential uses only.
• The proffered plan depicts 48 parking spaces, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 30 spaces. In keeping
with the rustic character of the historic property, gravel parking areas are proposed, and will be designed to
support the weight of fire apparatus. Public Works Traffic Engineering has stated that a commercial entrance
with a 30-foot long throat will be required, as multi-family developments are reviewed under commercial
standards. Additional details related to the design of the entrance will considered during final site plan review.
• The proposed stormwater system will include rain garden meadows (bioretention), which are depicted on the
proffer plan to the west and north of the proposed residential buildings.

Evaluation and Recommendation
In Staff's opinion, the proposed request for a rezoning from R-10 Residential to Conditional PD-H2 (R-10 Overlay)
Planned Unit Development is acceptable. The concept put forth by the applicant provides an opportunity to generate an
income stream that will assist with the maintenance of the historic home and its surroundings. Staff believes that the
proposed layout was carefully crafted to ensure the minimal impact to both the historic character of the property and
surrounding community. The plan, while not a typical suburban-style neighborhood, respects the Weblin House and the
historic structures that are protected by the existing historic easement. This is evident by the following design elements:
use of gravel driveway and parking spaces, reuse of historic milk barn and farm buildings, enhancement and
maintenance of existing plant material, use of rural vernacular architecture and building materials, and preservation of
interesting historic structures.
In addition, the proposed density at 2.29 units per acre is lower than the typical allowable density of three dwelling units
per acre in the R-10 Residential District, and is consistent with the pattern of development that has occurred over time
in the vicinity of this property. By comparison, Cypress Point to the north has a density of 3.28 units per acre and the
adjacent houses on Weblin Farm Road were developed at a density of 2.96 units per acre.
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this request, subject to the following proffers.
Anina Budig

"offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.
Proffer 1:
When developed, the Property shall be a residential cooperative containing no more than 15 units and shall be in
substantial conformance with the Master Plan entitled "New Master Plan", dated 10-26-2018, which has been exhibited

Staff Comments:
The proposed proffers are acceptable and provide confidence that the site will be developed as depicted in terms of
layout, density and architectural design.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the Suburban Area. Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to
provide a frame work for neighborhoods and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive. The Plan's primary
guiding principle for the Suburban Area is to create "Great Neighborhoods," and to support those neighborhoods with
complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability of the Suburban
Area is ensured for now and the future.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.There does not appear to be any significant natural resources
associated with the site.
The site has a recorded Virginia Historic easement. The Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Historic Resources
(DHR) manages the easement. The applicant has supplied a letter (on pages 17 -18 of this report) from DHR which
permits and acknowledges the proposed changes to the property. The Weblin House is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places,the Virginia Landmarks Register and the Virginia Beach Historical Register.

Re: Conceptual Review(extension):Outbuildings
Weblin House,City of Virginia Beach
DHR Easement File No. 134-0035_ep
Ms.Peterson
On your behalf,Paige Pollard of Commonwealth Preservation Group requested an extension of the
conceptual approval of proposed modifications to your property,the Weblin House,in the City of
Virginia Beach.Initially issued October 25,2016 and extended on October 25,2017,the approval is
now valid through October 1,2019. The original letter is repeated below for clarity.
Thank you for submitting a project review request to the Department of Historic Resources(DHR)
for the conceptual review of proposed modifcations to your property,Weblin House,located in the
City of Virginia Beach. This information was submitted on your behalf by Paige Pollard of
Commonwealth Preservation Group,and received in our office on October 18,2016.
The submittal included condition assessments of the existing outbuildings as well as schematic
development drawings(undated)for the rehabilitation of the Milk Barn and the proposed two new
single story buildings. These two buildings are agricultural in appearance,but used for residential
purposes and would replace the existing greenhouse/hoop structure,garage and shed,all of which
are in poor condition.
After careful review,our office concluded that,in concept,the removal of the existing garage,
greenhouse/hoop structure,and shed and their subsequent replacement with two elongated,single-
story structures of an agricultural design aesthetic is consistent with the easement provisions and the
Standards for Rehabilitation,and is,therefore,approved. Staff did determine that the existing silos

Conditional Rezoning (R-10 Residential District to Conditional PD-H2 (R-10 Overlay)
Planned Unit Development)
5588 Moores Pond Road
District—Bayside
April 10, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL—HEARD
Ms. Sandloop: Our next agenda item is D1 and Madam Chair, we have 19
speakers for this one.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Let's take a quick break. Just five minutes. The next
application.
Ms. Sandloop: The next agenda item is item D1 Anina Budig. An application
for a Conditional Rezoning from R-10 Residential to Conditional PD-
H2 R-10 Overlay Planned Unit Development on property located at
5588 Moores Pond Road located in the Bayside District. Is the
applicant or the applicant's representative present. If you would
please approach the podium and state your name for the record.
Ms. Oliver: Hello, welcome.
Mr. Dills: Hi, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: State your name.
Mr. Dills: I am Clay Dills, architect and principal with Dills Architects.
Ms. Pollard: I am Paige Pollard, owner of Commonwealth Preservation Group a,
historic preservation consulting firm.
Ms. Oliver: Sorry, will get that adjusted, so if everyone can speak into their mic,
and speak loudly or sound systems used to be a little off today.
Ms. Pollard: My name is Paige Pollard, owner of Commonwealth Preservation
Group, a historic preservation consulting firm.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Dills: So, we're going to start by walking through the project. I don't know
if you have the, do you have the slides?
Ms. Oliver: Here we go. He'll pull them up for you.
Mr. Dills: So, it's a 6.8 acre parcel and we are proposing the development of
six units here and an additional five of varying size attached units
inside a historic milk barn, as Paige will likely elaborate on, there's
a historic overlay easement at the state level that encumbers the
property. That easement has as much to do with the setting, the
agricultural setting of it as it does with preserving the structures
that are on it. So, there's 6 units here, five in the milk barn, there
are three silos here that the state is asked to preserve and to build
back up. There is an existing apartment over garage that will remain
here. This is the historic Moores Pond house. And, there's a duplex
that is existing and to remain on this end of the property. Much of
the impetus for this comes from the fact that the owner would like
to upkeep the property to bring it back and to keep that maintenance
in perpetuity. You'll see where these units are aligned on site, the
planning of this has to do, and I know Paige will talk about it as well,
has to do with two existing structures that are there now. DHR,
Department of Historic Resources, interprets the easement as
preservation of the setting, an agricultural setting. So, we are
removing a feed barn. It's a covered canopy over a feed barn, you
do for cows or livestock and a pole hoop garden structure that is
here and we are putting the units back in their place. We're tearing
down old garage here. This essentially forms the relationship of the
new planned development that we're proposing. Inside of all that
currently inside on the existing site plan, this is the paved area now,
and we're proposing to keep parking, do it all in that same place.
Ms. Pollard: In terms of the historic preservation easement itself, the Virginia
Department of Historic Resources oversees and stewards Historic
Preservation easements that are held by their agency. Whenever
changes made to a historic property for which they hold an
easement, they typically recommend a three-part submission and
review process, schematic design, conceptual design, and then
review of all of the construction documents. When we started this
project, the first thing that we did for them was perform an analysis
of the current conditions of the existing buildings on the property,
and also established age is for the various buildings to the extent
that we could. With agricultural buildings, it's sometimes difficult
to date to a specific year and so we use building materials and
building construction methods to help them that analysis. So, our
first submission to the Department of Historic Resources was an
analysis of the existing structures, including photographic
documentation, and written in documentation. The outcome of that
review was that the three structures that Clay noted for demolition
were modern and/or beyond repair and/or temporary type buildings
that could come down. That allowed us to identify with the
Department of Historic Resources, an area where new construction
could be considered. We then submitted the next round of work,
which was a very schematic layout of what the site might look like,
along with a unit count and preliminary blocking plan for what
might go in the existing milk barn building. We obtained approval
for that, and then we submitted a more fully developed proposal,
which includes the elevation drawings, which I believe are in your
package. We have approval for that as well. Assuming that this
goes well and makes it through City Council, then construction
drawings will be developed. Those will also be reviewed by the
Department of Historic Resources. They will also have to be
approved and then they will perform inspections during
construction and after completion of construction. It's important to
know that they also perform regular inspections as part of their
stewardship program, whether or not there's work going on the
property. Those inspections occur at least every three years, if not
more often, and they result in a stewardship report that identifies
maintenance items that are mandatory for the easement property
owner to undertake so that process will continue in perpetuity even
after this project. Any questions?
Ms. Oliver: Does anybody have any questions?
Mr. Ripley: I do.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Mr. Ripley.
Mr. Ripley: The Weblin House, what level of detail will you be required in
renovating that and to what extent will it be renovated?
Ms. Pollard:At this point, there are no plans to renovate the Weblin House
proper. Under the terms of the historic preservation easement any
and all activity that occurs on the site has to be reviewed by the
Department of Historic Resources. So, if that changed, if there were
interior alterations plan for the Weblin House, we would have to take
that through their review process as well and it's important to
understand this is recorded as part of the deed. So, it's a legal
instrument.
Mr. Inman: Well, are you talking about exterior as well?
Mr. Ripley: Yeah, I'm talking about the exterior as well, the windows and doors
are they original or have they been taken out or newer windows put
in? I don't know.
Ms. Pollard:The windows is actually interesting, you ask that the very first time
I visited the property several years ago, I noticed that the windows
were very modern vinyl replacement windows that we would not
typically see approved for an easement property. After touring the
property and going to review the file that the Department of Historic
Resources has, those windows were installed prior to the
Department of Historic Resources receiving the easement. So,
they're relatively modern windows, they're not something that would
typically be approved, but they pre-exist, the easement
reaccreditation itself.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Question to, say it goes through here, it goes through Council, then
it goes to back to the state, that y'all will review it, review the plans,
review the elevations, review the buildings, if it doesn't meet what
you're looking for, and you want to change them and then has come
back to us?
Ms. Pollard: Right and the approach of this, you know, schematic and conceptual
review is so that there's agreement on what the buildings are going
to look like before it comes to you all, and then the construction
documents are just a matter of the means and methods of actually
putting together the new buildings, and then specifically what
windows selections are being made and what is the profile of the
door trim and what is the material of the door trim, what is
happening on the interior, what are the interior finishes, they look
at all of that. That's at a level of detail that isn't typically developed
until you have a fundamental understanding that you're going to be
successful in your zoning and getting your building permit.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley:Explain the co-op ownership situation here, each individual unit
going to be sold and then it's like a homeowners' association, how's
that gonna work? I'm a little bit confused from?
Ms. Pollard:We're going to defer to the attorney for that question.
Mr.Ruloff; I'm Bob Ruloff. Mike Inman could probably answer that question
better. I'm the attorney. The co-op ownership will be for units. Co-
op is similar to a condominium, this will be a single ownership and
the unit owners will lease their units for at least 30 years, sometimes
50, sometimes 70. So they have the benefits of ownership in the
sense that the unit will pass to the heirs and they can sell their unit
with their selling the leaseholder stake, not a free simple estate.
Condominium you own your fee simple unit just like a single family
dwellings if they were attached generally. This will be similar in the
sense that you can sell it, you make use of the interior of the unit
the way you want, but the unit itself will be owned by a corporation.
So, if there are 15 owners of the unit, owning the leaseholder estate,
they will be stockholders in a corporation, and they'll receive stock
within a corporation leases their specific unit to them and generally
is for a lifetime. Our original intention is at least 30 years. So, you
get financing on those units. Otherwise, it's very similar to a co-op,
the management, upkeep maintenance will be the responsibility of
the co-op association,just like a condo association, so the control of
the structures will be within the unit owners, unit owners meaning
owners of a fee leaseholder stake.
Ms. Oliver: I have a question when you mentioned the, I guess the maintenance
of is that maintenance of the entire piece of property?
Mr. Ruloff: Whole piece and all the units.
Ms. Oliver: And all the units, so the...
Mr. Ruloff: Exterior, people will be responsible, I'm sorry.
Ms. Oliver: You need to speak into the mic because we are not able to hear.
Mr. Ruloff: The exterior, the grounds, upkeep and maintenance will be the
responsibility of the association. Just like a high-rise condo,
everyone pays for the elevators, the hallways and exterior, the
interior walls are your responsibility.
Ms. Oliver: So that would be the entire, I just want to be.
Mr. Ruloff: The whole project.
Ms. Oliver: The new project or the whole existing piece of property with the
Weblin House and the other two pieces on there?
Mr. Ruloff: All pieces will be submitted to the co-op regime.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Ripley: So, if there is a fire, the association actually would have a policy for
that, but the interior will be carried by the individual owner?
Mr. Ruloff: Yes.
Mr. Ripley: Got it.
Ms. Oliver: Any other questions? Okay. Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Excuse me, don't walk away yet. Question for you. Can you
explain some of the landscape improvements right up to them,
including that you're going to maintain the current plant material?
Walk us through a little bit the screening of the site and additional
plant material that you've contemplated here.
Mr. Dills: It's meant to remain as is, especially at the perimeter.
Mr. Redmond: Okay.
Mr. Dills: So a majority of all the plants on site except for foundation planting
on the new units only is going to be handled as historic, and that
you may have seen in the right up where it speaks to an arborist in
a historic context that makes sense. The new plantings are also
going to be done in a historic way where they're compatible, their
species that would have been planted originally in that context and
it's been planned that way.
Mr. Redmond: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: So, we walked the property and there are some sections of it that
could probably use a little more tender loving care. So, my question
is just for clarity. When we talk about maintenance and bringing it
up to the standards of what would have been there and the
plantings, I just, I guess I want to be very specific about the existing
buildings, not the ones that you're going to be redoing, but the
garage apartment and the duplex. Would that also be included in
that landscaping plan?
Mr. Dills: It actually the intent and what we have said to the DHR as well, is
that they will bring all those up to that standard. The same standard
required by the state.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I neglected to ask one question that I thought was important
because I met with some neighbors and we sort of had this question
on silos. What will they look like, what's structural, you know?
Mr. Dills: They're in poor repair structurally as well. So, what you see you
should believe.
Mr. Redmond: Yeah, they look like a strong wind will take them down. How
do you, I mean, how that would preserved?
Mr. Dills: DHR has required that they remain and be made sound again. So
that's the intent, we have to do that.
Mr. Redmond: Okay.
Mr. Dills: I mean, the big picture here is that at the state level, they are
dictating that all of these things have to be done in order to even
think of doing this project and that's why we've gone through
conceptual approval and a schematic approval, where they
essentially dictated to us heights and placements and materials and
what needs to remain or what needs to come up to a standard
compatible with the easement. So that's the intent and what we're
proposing.
Ms. Oliver: So, when we were on this property, there's a section of it between
the garage and the new building that's evidently been used as a
mulch area for a number of years, because we actually walked in it
and it got a lot of bounce. So, I assume that will be addressed also?
Mr. Dills: It has to be. In terms of the co-op and the condo, what Bob was
really getting at is that the ownership group letting things go into
disrepair greatly affects their value.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Dills: Right. So there's an impetus to keep it where it is once it's made
right.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Anybody else? Okay. Great. Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay, first speaker, Jim Arnhold and then Kendall King, and
William Lewis.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Arnhold: Thank you. I thought Planning Commission means we're an
hour and a half.
Ms. Oliver: For an application.
Mr. Arnhold: Chairman Oliver, members of commission, I'm Jim Arnhold,
local developer. I'm in negotiations to construct this project with
Ms. Peterson; I have been involved with talking to the historical
group in Richmond for over five years. The last couple of years have
been by Mr. Dills and everything else and they came up with a plan
that these guys are in agreement with. I just wanted to come up in
and I'll be very brief. The historic resources approval process went
through very many plans, lots of different ideas, lots of different
concepts, and this is the only one that's ever been approved. So, I
think that's a very important point that these guys are protecting
what they believe to be the at least historical significance from a
visual standpoint anyway. This property is in disrepair, I'm sure
you guys did see that when you went there. It's very costly to keep
it up. Mrs. Peterson is 80 years old, she has two children, and both
don't have any desire to take on this obligation. I think that's
important for you guys to know. This proposal, I believe, will
probably preserve at least the visual integrity of this historic
property. Because I see it as an economic issue, more than any of
the other issues that come up with Historical Review, will check all
those boxes. When I look at these, I did a project right around across
from Kellam High School, which was the old Riganto property that
house was built in the front in 1774. And we kept four acres back
then back in 1997. I think we came in for that development in there
and it's now a preschool kindergarten. Obviously my daughter runs
that and she's still doing it. But I would tell you that all these
properties are very expensive to keep up and bring into compliance.
I see this as an opportunity to move from one person to an
opportunity for 15 people to take care of this property and bring it
up to a standard. I think they will make us proud and keep this
house going. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Arnhold? No, okay. Thank you
very much.
Mr. Tajan: Madam Chairman, just to clarify the property isn't subject to the
local Historical Review Board. I believe Mr. Arnhold was referring to
the state review process.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Kendall King, then William Lewis and then Linda Huddleston.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. King: Good afternoon, I'm Kendall King and I'm going to speak in
opposition. When the Navy brought Gayle and I to back in Hampton
Roads in 1979, we chose to live in Virginia Beach. We liked
Charlestown Lake South and Centerville Turnpike, but it got too
crowded, too busy. So, we found a place that's private, Weblin Farm
Road, which is just down from the Weblin House. The wetlands are
there, we share the wetlands with the house, we have good
neighbors, but there are three reasons we oppose this. The impact
on privacy, the impact on quality of life, and the land use issue. As
far as privacy is concerned, the number of new neighbors will
increase our traffic by a third, increase our noise by a third and
since it's a single entry neighborhood that will be the first impression
that people see when they come to into our neighborhood. Second
least the quality of life. I don't know what kind of renters are, I guess
co-op owners that will be able to get but there will be lower income
than the 29 of us that don't $400,000 houses. We just don't know
whether they'll be able to fill those co-ops, and what kinds of people
will be able to fill them with. I think the third aspect of it is the land
use. You have hundreds of apartments, condos and town homes
within a mile of where we live, not sure why we need to have 15 on
a historical property. Just what is that going to do to our property
values and again, what is it going to do to the area? So again,
appreciate your consideration. Thank you for having me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do we have any questions for Mr. King? Thank you
very much. And before the next caller comes up, I just want to
remind everybody that it is a three minute and so the yellow light
will blink and so we're going to, since we have so many people, we're
going to try to, we are going to keep to that time limit.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay, William Lewis and then Linda Huddleston and Charles
Olazach.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome, Mr. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis: Bill Lewis, okay I lived in the subdivision for 20 years and one of the
original owners there. We were promised when we bought as good
as a contract is that you get from your real estate people that this
property would never be developed. It was under the historical
society and there was no doubt that this is going to be like this
forever and that's why we bought there, and we've enjoyed that. The
other things that I disagree with is the size of these units that are
being put in here, you've got four of them, that's going to be under
900 square foot, you've got 6, 1,300 square foot and 3, 1,400 square
foot, they adjacent homes around this area are 2,200 to 3,600
square feet. They're supposed to be 50% brick all have garages, the
town homes that are at the front of the area are all brick, 2000
square foot, the condos that are up there are the same size. So, I
think this is going to adversely affect all of our property values, it
can do nothing but drive them down. You're going to hear a lot.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Thank you for letting me know. Could we pull up the
aerial of the neighborhood? Is that possible? And then we can get
an idea.
Ms. Sandloop: Linda Huddleston and then Charles Olajasz then Anita
Downs.
Ms. Huddleston: Thank you very much for having me. I'm a little more verbose.
So, I'm going to read mine as quickly as I can to make my three
minutes.
Ms. Oliver: Would you state your name?
Ms. Huddleston: My name is Linda Huddleston, my husband and I were
original owners and long time residents of the Weblin Farm Road
and I want to speak to you about the quality of life as our planning
Commissioner, Mr. Graham suggested. Sorry, been there done that.
At the time of our purchase, we were informed that the farm was
considered a historical site and would never be developed, an idea
that we liked because of the quiet nature of our street. I'd like for
you to think a moment about your own home just for a moment
perhaps you enjoy getting in the dirt and planning your own flowers,
cutting your own grass, just the way you like it. Perhaps you pay
someone to fertilize, cut and trim your grass and shrubs. As new
homeowners, you can imagine our interest when our first Christmas
there included an invitation from the residents of the farm for a
holiday gathering. We were excited to see the inside of the barn
where they lived and all of the modifications they made to make it a
dwelling a true home and not a barn and we were not disappointed.
At that gathering, our new neighbor Ms. Peterson made several
announcements as we got to know each other. We were delighted to
learn that her plan was to make the farm a horticultural show place,
which you had the privilege of seeing. She mentioned adding ponds
and exotic plants to the property. Think of your own neighbors. An
announcement like that may spur you to step up your landscaping
game a bit. Now, think if not only that vision were never to come to
fruition, but that the property fell into disrepair. The city was called
on several occasions just to get the grass cut to a reasonable height.
It was rarely trimmed around the trees or shrubs and vines and
weeds grew throughout the property facing the street that
obstructed the view of the buildings. This was not and has never
been close to horticultural showplace. If that neighbor then or to
tell you after 20 years of this, that they were about to build a mother
in law suite or a set of storage structures on their property to make
it into a showplace spoken up so long ago, would you believe that
change would magically give your neighbor the same value you
possessed for the appearance of your own property. Our fear as
residents is the lack of care for this potentially beautiful historical
property would continue with a new structure built there, the
potential for noise and tenants that share the current owner's view
of the poorly maintaining the property would create an additional
eyesore to our otherwise quiet neighborhood. We have no confidence
the plan for imminent improvement after 20 years. And over the
years most residents of work to maintain a neighborly relationship
and enjoyed seasonal gatherings, but the current owner never chose
to join us until the neighborhood watch was implemented last
summer. Our neighborhood is not a large one, but you can see by
our representation today, in the middle of the week, this is an issue
that we feel passionate about. Personally, I believe the paperwork
presented only demonstrates how the use of loopholes has gotten
this rezoning past. One more show place for self promotion at the
expense of those who have had to deal with the eyesore driving into
the neighborhood every day. Thank you all.
Ms. Oliver: Ma'am. Do you mind coming up and there's a pointer and showing
us where your house is in relation to the applicants property?
Ms. Oliver: Okay, Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Olajasz, I'm so sorry, Anita Downs and then Perry Suttle.
Mr. Olajasz:Madam Chair, commissioners. My name is Charles Olajasz. My wife
Brendan and I live at 5381 Weblin Farm Road, which is in the very
back. We are the first property owners of Cypress Point North Park
two, during the process of researching the property, well, my wife
and I worked very closely with the developer Rick McGinnis, the
McGinnis Realty, and a course at that time. We knew the Weblin
Farmhouse was coming up for auction. We were concerned about
it. So Mr. McGinnis assured us not only verbally, but also in writing
from the Attorney General's Office of the Deed of Easement and it
seems like some folks probably haven't read that yet, but if you don't
mind I'm going to, it says no building or structure should be built or
maintained on the easement property other than Weblin Farmhouse
and the other buildings and structures existing on the date of this
deed of easement, building structures calmly and appropriately
incidental to the single family home, including but not limited to a
garage, guest house and garden structures, recurrence of historical
outings or structured with a document if the profession historical
and agriculture investigation to have been located on the property.
In addition, back in August 24th, 1997, there was an article posted
in the newspaper. It was in The Virginia Pilot, it says although the
17th century is Weblin Farmhouse is for sale, it will never be lost
the development. The beautiful brick structures six and a half acres
in Cypress point North has been protected by historical preservation
easement and will safeguard the house forever. I was shocked to
see the rezoning sign go up last year. I had no idea the work that
had been going on behind the scenes as far as the wanting to develop
that property. And according to the deed of easement, it can't
happen. They can't build over there. They can't build condos,
townhouses, apartment complexes. It reminds me of a Motel Six
over there with 48 parking spaces and 15 rented units over there.
October 15th, we were able to get a letter from Gilliam K. Barnes,
and it states fee sample of cottage to be owned by a condominium
association. This project if approved would violate the Pacific terms
of easement paragraph seven states the easement property should
not be divided, subdivided or convey and fee other than a single
track, any new structure must be constructed with paragraph two
and three of the easement. Paragraph three restricts all new
construction to buildings and structures and it did so and accessible
to the Weblin Farmhouse and its historic reconstruction based on
the documentation. Back on September 17, 2015, Mark Reed
preservation planner here, he put down a PowerPoint here, and he
actually says the cottage style dwellings will be built in context of a
single family residential condominium [Inaudible] [04:12:13] states
that the DHR cannot waive any clause as listed above and my time
is up, I wish it wasn't, but the only thing I will say somebody needs
to speak on Ms. Moore's behalf. She's not here. She's here in spirit.
She did it the right way. She donated that piece of property after all
the construction in the 1780s and she donated to the state hoping
that it will be taken care of, somebody needs to speak for her, and I
know she's looking down on us today. But she did it the right way.
There should be no construction especially new construction over at
the Weblin Farmhouse.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Olajasz:Thank you, appreciate it.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much, you have any questions, thank you very
much.
Ms. Sandloop: Anita Downs and then Perry Suttle and Michelle Suttle.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome Mrs. Downs.
Ms. Downs: Hi, Anita Downs. Thank you for letting me speak today.
Ms. Oliver: I'm gonna get you to lean into the mic a little bit please.
Ms. Downs: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Downs: I believe if you're going to donate your historic property to the State
of Virginia with your wishes recorded in a legal document that
protects it from development forever, then that should mean
something. It should be honored. When we moved here 20 years
ago, we chose the Weblin Farm neighborhood because it was strictly
single-family homes. That was very important to us. We would not
have moved into the neighborhood if there were multifamily housing
there. We were concerned about the farm before we bought our
property, but we're told by the developer not to worry, because there
was a historic easement which precluded any subdivision or
multifamily dwellings on the property. The easement we were told
was permanent and forever. So, we felt good about purchasing a
home on Weblin Farm. John Peterson and then her daughter Anina
Budig owner of Weblin Properties, LLC, bought Weblin Farm
knowing this easement was in place forever. We would feel very
betrayed by the City of Virginia Beach and the State of Virginia if
they reneged on that promise, and I believe Clay Dills just mentioned
that the easement addresses the setting. Well, it also addresses the
use just as rusty pointed out, it states basically no structure shall
be built or maintained other than incidental to a single- family
residence. So, call it what you like condos, co-ops, residential units
and a residential area, whatever, I don't care, it's still multifamily
living units. And that's not compliant with the original land use
intended by Dorothy Moore and not something that my husband
and I want our single-family home neighborhood. The Virginia
Beach zoning ordinance Code Section 1124 PD-H2 land use plans
states, the land use plan shall show how the proposed development
of the property would differ from that which would otherwise be
permitted in the underlying zoning district and the public benefit to
be gained by developing the property and a PD-H2 district. Nothing
in the land use plan presented so far addresses the public benefit to
be gained. Today, we've heard numerous reasons why we the public
think it's a bad idea to approve this rezoning. We have yet to hear
a compelling reason why granting this request is in the public good.
Yes, no doubt the rezoning is good for Weblin properties, the
developer and their investors, but who else really benefits. Today,
the LLC is not acting in good faith being already in violation of the
current zoning ordinance. And now they're asking you to override
the city's intent not to create additional PD-H2 districts as published
in the guidelines. I asked why you would even consider this.
Where's the public good? Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Perry Suttle, and then Michelle Suttle and then Zach Suttle.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome Mr. Suttle.
Mr. Suttle: Good afternoon. My name is Perry Suttle. My wife and I have lived
in Weblin Farm for over 16 years now. We weren't one of the original
folks but came in a little bit later after things opened up. You've had
a lot of discussion this afternoon about the easement or the deed of
easement, some of the previous correspondence from DHR and I
wanted to provide copies of that for the members of the Commission.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, you just hand it to Mr. Carl, please. Thank you.
Mr. Suttle: Again, it seems like everything that has been going on is an effort to
circumvent this deed of easement, whether it's do not build anything
else than a single-family home. Everything else whether it's the co-
op agreement, is an effort to get out there, one of the paragraph
seven talks about you will not subdivide and if you look at this
current arrangement looks like this is an effort to circumvent that
and get around it. For several years from at least 2010 up through
2015, the DHR was adamant that you will not build, and they talk
about several instances where it looked like there was an attempted
in run around procedures and policies to get what was desired. Now
sometime between then and now, DHR had a change of opinion, why
I do not know, but again, you know, they have new people who are
working there compared to who was working there in 2015. So, I
can only assume that, you know somebody has a different opinion,
but when you look at the deed of easement, it was written by the
Commonwealth's Attorney General's office; so, you know, if we need
to get further explanation or clarification, I think that's where we
may have to go for this. That's all I have. I just want you to take
this into consideration, uprooted response or recommendation
might be to if you can set aside a decision until we get some final
clarification on this from the state.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Michelle Suttle, Zach Suttle and Bobby Wilkerson.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. Suttle: Thank you ma'am. My name is Michelle Suttle. I live on Weblin
Farm Road and as my husband said, I'm in oppose to the rezoning
of the Weblin Farm property from R-10 to a PD-H2. And Russ also
said, I don't want to go over that again, but the paragraph that the
deed of easement which we all passed down paragraph two and
paragraph seven. But the other one thing I wanted to just say is
DHR explained that this would violate specific terms of both these
paragraphs deed of easement. They then noted that she has
submitted similar proposals in the past and that the DHR staff
repeatedly advises her and writing in meetings with her and her
representatives on three occasions that the deed of easement
precluded subdivision and new residential dwellings. I've lived on
Weblin farm since 2002 and I do not want to see this historic
property turned into multi family dwelling. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Zach Suttle, Bobby Wilkerson and then Christina Jones.
Mr. Suttle: Good afternoon, my name is Zack Suttle. Before I begin, I want to
thank madam chairwoman and the committee for all that they do as
members of the community. I also want to thank the City of Virginia
Beach and the Commonwealth of Virginia for the role they play in
development. I've lived at Weblin Farm since 2002, just down the
street from the proposed area right there. And while this proposal
for the Weblin house property is seemingly a good idea of blatant
disregard for the property easement has managed to completely
circumvent this proposal. Easement specifically states, and I know
I'm reiterating no building or structure shall be built or maintained
on the easement property other than the Weblin House and other
buildings and structures existing on this date of this deed of
easement and other than buildings or structures commonly or
appropriately incidental to a single-family residents, including but
not limited to a garage, guest house and garden structures. The
proposed structures consists of new units that would be added to
allow for multiple families that live on these premises in a
cooperative. These units in no way in body the entity of a single-
family dwelling, it is proposed that since a co-op is you know, it
meets a single family residence; however, Virginia code states 50-
225.02 single family residence means a structure other than a
multi-family residential structure maintained and used as a single
dwelling unit or any unit which has direct access to a street or
thoroughfare and shares neither heating facilities, hot water
equipment nor any other essential facility or service with any other
dwelling unit. The proposed plan does not qualify as a single
residence unit under the Virginia code. Simply given the
maintenance fees paid every month and a co-op or for the service of
maintaining the property and buildings on the property. This is a
service that does not qualify cooperative as a single-family residence.
For some of the same reasons, a condominium is legally defined
differently than a single-family residence. Surely this is not proved
to be in direct contradiction with the easement. Ignoring this
easement the same thing keeping anyone from demolishing the
building is as effective as tearing down the 350 year old house. This
easement is what keeps historic property for generations to come.
Its guidelines must be followed thoroughly and cannot be picked and
pulled apart to suit ones needs. As with many legal documents, the
easement is not perfect, but it was created to keep the six-acre piece
of land for being developed. The authors may not have found every
legal loophole, but they understood the importance of keeping the
property intact, prohibiting splitting up the property and requiring
a single-family residence. The co-op proposed for the property
satisfy the need of splitting up the land something that was denied
with the proposition of condominiums in 2015. However, a co-op is
not a single-family residence; this proposal cannot be allowed to
pass because it violates the easement which land was purchased.
Thank you for letting me to speak against this proposal.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Bobby Wilkerson, Christina Jones and then Robert Patterson.
Mr. Wilkerson: Good afternoon. My name is Bobby Wilkerson and my wife
and I live directly across the street from the farmhouse in front of by
the milk barn and we the original owners move then in 1999, we
purchased a property with the understanding that it would never
that the Weblin Farm historical site would never be developed. And
we live directly across the street from their property. I lived in a co-
op for 15 years in Alexandria, Virginia, the co-op that we purchased
in, we were told initially that they were like one or two other co-op
properties in the State of Virginia. Reason being, there is a problem
with co-ops, you have difficulty selling your property and we did
indeed have difficulty selling our property and that 180 unit co-op.
What happened was the people stopped paying co-op fees which is
the same as kind of ease the property deteriorated and there was
nothing we could do. The people that wanted to move out couldn't
move out because nobody would purchase the property. Nobody
moved in, we lost revenue, couldn't improve the property, couldn't
maintain the property. So, what we ended up doing was converting
it to condominium. Now, I asked you today to look at that property
and take a hard look at if they convert that property to co-op. And
it goes into more disrepair than it is already there. It is an eyesore
today, you visited a property, and I live directly across the street.
I've been making excuses for that property for 20 years and what
they should be considering today is how can they improve the
property? Not how can they build additional units on it, and let it
go into for the disrepair. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Christina Jones, Robert Patterson, and then Thomas Wood.
Ms. Jones: Hello, thank you. My name is Christina Jones and I am one of the
newer residents here. I've only been there for about nine months.
We moved in July, we were also under the same kind of thought that
we would never that piece of property would never re-developed and
that we were happy that we were buying in this neighborhood
because it's surrounded by water. And so we never experienced
further development. So, we were really excited about buying in this
property and then we move in and we find out that is very shortly
the first sign start to pop up and that's oh my goodness, what's really
going on here and we find out that that they want to develop on this
piece of property. Then we go, we further find out this is historical
easement. The historical easement does not allow for this further
development. On top of that, the DHR has already, they have
already broken our public trust, and they're already currently four
individual people that are not part of her family living on that
property. There are four separate mailboxes and this is something
that the DHR has already allowed in the last couple of years. And
to the just recently, one of the units was on Zillow for 1200 dollars.
So how is she already doing this, DHR has already broken our trust
that's the point that I'm trying to make on this is that our trust is
already been broken with the DHR and what is to say that as it goes
further that it's not going to get worse instead of better. Also, the
last thing is that I just want to say is I want to keep the Weblin Farm
historic and that this should not be, this should not just be about
money for the person that owns the property right now. She bought
it knowing what she was getting into and it was historic and that's
what as she bought it that's how it should stay. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Did you just say that there was, it was on Zillow a
month ago, what was on Zillow?
Ms. Jones: One of the units was up for rental. She has four units.
Ms. Oliver: Not for sale.
Ms. Jones: No, she has four properties. This is supposed to be single family, is
supposed to be only person supposed to be living there and her
family. There are four other families living there right now.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Patterson, Mr. Wood and then Mr. Dunton.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Patterson: Thank you. My name is Robert Patterson. How about a 10
second break for a breather? My wife and I moved.
Ms. Oliver: You have to speak closer into the mic.
Mr. Patterson: My wife and I moved to Weblin Farm 331 days ago and we live
right there. And Bobby, who spoke just a couple of minutes ago, he
lives next door to me, it's great neighbor. I have no aversion to living
across from a farm. I was raised in Kentucky. My dad was raised
in Arkansas and my grandfather was a farmer. I was naive enough
to not even ask what would happen to that farm; I just assumed it
was going to be there, but if you live in a nice neighborhood, which
I assume all of you live a nice neighborhoods, think about the fact
that you might have an apartment complex built 200 feet from the
corner of your house and I asked you to vote on your conscience.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Wood, Mr. Dunton, and then Barbara Mytych.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Wood: Hi, my name is Thomas Wood and I abandon my speech, because I
didn't see anybody writing down questions. I haven't noticed a lot
of interest in some of the things we've been saying. So, I'm going to
mention some things that I think should be asked, alright. So right
now, what should be asked is what's been going on inside the house?
What's been done since the place was purchased in 1997? What's
the track record of the owner? What do we know is going to go
forward based on what we've seen behind, somebody brought up the
co-ops, where in Virginia Beach, is there another co-op quiz? Think
it's Atlantic Shores, anybody have an in law or a parent or somebody
that's lived in Atlantic shores, it's been a co-op, the heirs have a
terrible time getting rid of. I'm a former mortgage guy, zero
financing, unless it's from possibly a private investor. It might be is
a way to like in the old days with the coal mine, it might be a way to
get the company and employees to live there for some kind of qui
pro quo although I don't know. Why doesn't the city enforce current
laws? And if you're not going to do that, what's the likelihood that
this neighborhood can trust you're going to go forward and enforce
things? What happens to the silo? If it falls down, who pays for
that? My mom lived in a place in South Carolina and the whole
concrete structure outside fall; she got an assessment for $35,000.
Is that the kind of thing that's going to happen to the leaseholders,
who's going to pay for that? And I don't think the answer is going
to be the people that live in it. I think it's going to be the corporation
and by the way, why is it changed from being an owner, sole
ownership to a corporation? Is that some dodge to get from one
thing to the other? How about age restrictions, children
restrictions? I'm pretty sure some of this stuff doesn't go into your
work. I watched this morning eyeballs rolled when Mr. Redmond,
you know, I'm pretty sure Mr. Redmond against this, pretty plain to
me, he's told us in person and you mentioned this morning that we
don't have a leg to stand on that so many words, but I don't think
you're asking the right questions, really don't. Thanks.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Fletcher Dunton, Barbara Mytych and then William Filbert.
Mr. Dunton: Hi, there.
Ms. Oliver: Hello.
Mr. Dunton: My name is Fletcher Dunton and I've been a resident of Weblin
Farm for a little over two years and I live right there. And we
purchased a home in Cypress Point North because it's a community
with the single, a lot of single family homes and quiet neighborhood.
Before I purchased, I took into consideration and understood that
historic Weblin Farm property would remain that way, the single-
family residence because of the historic preservation easement. So,
I oppose the rezoning request for multifamily use for some of the
following reasons. I agree with everything that people have stated.
So, I won't go back over that. I have a concern that this rezoning
will diminish our single-family property values, and doing the
research, this has been a general trend nationwide, when
multifamily complexes are built close to existing single-family homes
and our homes are one of our most valuable assets, we've worked
hard to achieve the asset and we need to make sure they stay that
way and hopefully appreciate. We've all been through the housing
crisis and the housing bubble and as developers, I'm sure you can
attest to some of that, hopefully not too much. So, with the current
plan, the way it is, there's too much uncertainty and risk with this
rezoning and proposed plan that can negatively affect our property
values and if you look at the number of homes around the property,
there's between 20 and 30 and if the average value was $400,000
that would be between 12 to $20 million in property value, and that's
taxable to VB.gov. So, if that goes down, we as a city lose taxes. So
that's important too, also have another reason the proposed plan
shows there will be a 400% increase in traffic on the immediate
roads in the Cypress point North leading into the historic property.
And my concern with this is that with the increased traffic, there will
be an increased likelihood of safety issues, both for pedestrians and
our residence's vehicles, 400%. Statistics like that are intended to
provide information for decision makers like you guys to keep the
public safe. Case in point has spent many years but I have a niece
that were struck by car and tragically killed in a residential area of
Virginia Beach, much like this, 400% is quite an increase in traffic.
So as public servants, you have our public trust and with this, I
asked you to keep this these lofty and weighty decisions in the
forefront of your mind and with these three points in mind, I
respectfully request that you vote to keep Cypress Point North, a
single family community as it has been for over 20 years and thank
you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Barbara Mytych, William Filbert and then Patty Dunton.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. Mytych:Hi, my name is Barb Mytych, and I stand in opposition to this
planning proposal. This building project would result in a
significant increase of traffic in our neighborhood, especially on our
street. We already have enough vehicles speeding and cutting
through our neighborhood. In 1998, my husband and I bought our
home on Weblin Farm Road because it is tucked away from the main
roads in Cypress Point North. With the proposed 48 space parking
lot and a single entrance and exit on the property in addition to the
increased traffic, we have a concern about the emergency access in
terms of fire and rescue, both to Weblin Farm Road residents and to
the proposed development. Also, my husband and I are concerned
about the decrease property value. Since the dwelling units are
currently proposed, they are not of comparable standards or value.
And finally, because of the increased traffic, this would bring into
our neighborhood; we are also concerned with the potential of
increased crime. And for all of these reasons, this would negatively
impact the quality of life for the Cypress Point North residents.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: William Filbert, Patty Dunton, and Claro Barcoma.
Mr. Filbert: Good afternoon. My name is Bill Filbert. Madam Chair,
Commissioners thanks for letting me speak today. My friends from
Cypress point North lovingly referred to a place where I live as
Cypress Point main. I'm on the upper right hand corner of the map
here, Club Head Road is a part of Cypress point and we're obviously
boring right up adjacent up to the proposed rezoning. I opposed the
rezoning. My friends here have been very eloquent about their
reasons. So, I won't reiterate those, I'll try to be brief. Parking,
traffic and noise all that will have an impact on those houses here
in Club Head Road and for that matter, some of the other houses
further along, we have several embedded multifamily communities
in Cypress Point and to be quite frankly some areas that hasn't
always worked out so well. So that's our point that also mentioned
that I'm here as a private citizen resident, but I am the president of
the Cypress Point Civic Association and I'm also the neighborhood
watch coordinator. So, I've had some more than passing experiences
with some of this stuff. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Question. Can you show us where your house is? I am sorry,
actually there's a pointer right there.
Mr. Filbert: I am up here.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Filbert: These houses here in Club Head Road.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Filbert: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop: Patty Dunton, and then Clara Barcoma.
Ms. Dunton: My name is Patty Dunton, and I live on Weblin Farm Road. I
would like to share my opposition to the proposed rezoning on 5588
Moores Pond Road. We chose our neighborhood specifically because
it was a quiet, safe, single family home community to raise our
family. We were assured that the historic Weblin property would
remain single family property as it was protected by a recorded
preservation easement. Zoning exists for the good of the entire
community. It does not benefit the existing community to rezone
this property that sits in the middle of the very established single-
family home Cypress Point North neighborhood and to allow planned
development with 15 separate dwelling units. This will only benefit
the applicant who does not live on the property. Another great
concern is the planned development will be a co-op. If this was a
good way to structure planned developments, wouldn't you see this
more commonly used throughout Virginia Beach? Existing
homeowners cannot be sure what would be allowed on the property
as they will write their own bylaws. What is allowed with the 15
dwelling units, who will be the voting members that decide what is
allowed on the property? I have asked but not received for a copy of
the bylaws. I've asked but not received for who are potential buyers
for this co-op development. Lastly, a planned development in this
location will increase traffic on Moores Pond Road almost four times
by the city's estimate. It's a narrow road with no sidewalks. There's
no other access in or out of our homes, but through Moores Pond
Road. So please vote to maintain this property's land use as a
single-family home community as it has been for 20 years and I also
would like that everyone here today that is an opposition to this
rezoning request please stand. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: And our final speaker, Claro Barcoma.
Mr. Barcoma: Good afternoon planning commission members, thank you for
your service. My name is Claro Barcoma and my house is the third
house from the yellow border. My wife is here with me and you have
heard all the arguments that my members, my neighborhood have,
you know, have said about opposing the you know the development
in our neighborhood. When we move in this neighborhood back in
1997, when you go drive in towards that road, the Weblin Farm
Road, you can see all the flowers, these days you cannot see any
more flowers, but weeds, so you have heard our plight and it's all up
to the Planning Commission on how you will handle this case and
present it to the city council. Again, you know, it's all up to you and
thank you for your service.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Sarcoma: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: No more speakers.
Ms. Sandloop: No ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, so we'll close this public hearing and open it up to discussion
among commissioners. Oh, I'm sorry. You want to come back in
and you have the time for rebuttal.
Ms. Sandloop: Looks like we have one additional speaker.
Ms. Oliver: We do have one additional speaker?
Ms. Sandloop: Yes, okay.
Ms. Deemer: Thank you. My name is Deborah Deemer. I live on
Meadowside Drive right where.
Ms. Oliver: There's a pointer right there.
Ms. Deemer: I'm sorry, yeah. Right here, and you have to drive. This is the
road in there, very small road on the second house from that street
to get in and the traffic there like is bad because people cut through
and to add more to get into Weblin Farms is going to be a lot more
congestion there, but another reason we have bought our house in
96 and that property then came for sale after that. It has not been
maintained in the historical manner in which Ms. Peterson has
proclaimed that she's doing, it's a mess over there. The rules have
not been followed. She has people living there that shouldn't be
living there. Construction has been done improperly and under the
wire. Her and her daughter lived there for a short time. They had
Halloween parties. So, when we trick or treated with our young
children, you know, we saw the things that they are doing and
there's no permits, and some of the things have not been doing
properly. She also is a property owner in Norfolk that has not had
very good success. I think the term they cause a slumlord, I don't
want to have our properties to be addressed in that way back in that
area, we have a nice neighborhood and we would like rules to be
followed and this to be investigated and she should maintain the
property as a historical piece of property instead of trying to get
others in there that are not going to keep up the property. Thank
you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Hi, how are you?
Mr. Ruloff: Yeah, I would like to just to make a few clarifications. It appears as
though the foundation for opposing is just based on what many say
that the easement states that the dwellings must be, cannot be
single family dwellings. The word single-family dwelling is not found
in the easement anywhere, I have in front of me. What I have in
front of me is easement and I'll read what it says. They are correct
when they say the property cannot be subdivided or divided and the
remaining words that were not mentioned to you today were other
than a single track. So, the easement says it must remain as a single
track. Now there were references or inferences made that the
structures have to be residential. Well, the exact words are no
building or structure shall be, we're trying to restore those buildings,
renovated in any way except in keeping with historic character of
the easement property. So what the easement says it has to be a
single track, which we're following that's why we use a co-op regime,
which has been approved by the Attorney General of Virginia. We
will speak to that in a few seconds and we're making an effort, which
is being controlled by the historic preservation group to keep it
within historical character. Now, there's been also comments,
somewhat condescending comments about owners of co-ops, the
most exclusive units in United States are co-ops. Park Avenue in
New York City is a co-op. The reason co-ops are created and the
difference when it co-op and a condominium is control. In New York
City for example, Nixon, Madonna were voted out, they couldn't get
a lease, but John Lennon was given a lease and there also was a
reverence about co-ops in Virginia Beach. One of the best co-op
communities in Virginia Beach enable seniors to have assisted living
is Atlantic Shores is very prominent, well done. Virginia House in
Virginia Beach with regard to values, which is next to the ocean, is
a two-bedroom co-op. The Virginia House at the oceanfront many
times is more expensive than the oceans condo. Why? Control to
the co-op ownership here will enable these people to maintain
upkeep and preserve the historical nature of this. But single-family
dwelling is not in this document at all. There are references to it
and letters from the State of Virginia, which Paige Pollard addressed,
but since then, the attorney general has a proof of concept. The only
way for this project to work, it's enabled group of people to maintain
it, not let it fall down. They complain about some mess. Well our
effort here is to undo that mess and that takes money. So, we're
getting a group of people to put together as co-op regime so they can
maintain it and live there with pride, the values, the wrong values
and what they say with regard to law and values of property. That's
not true. That's my two cents.
Ms. Oliver: Ma'am, you really can't do that. Please. Thank you.
Ms. Pollard: I just wanted to address the easement co-op.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Do we have any, any questions for the attorney who just
spoke? Okay, I'm sorry.
Ms. Pollard: Sure. My firm was brought in to assist in building treatment plan
for this easement held property several years ago after the 2015
letter that the neighbors referred to, was issued by the Department
of Historic Resources and so before starting on the project, we met
with the Department of Historic Resources to determine what
exactly the parameters would be within easement construct that
might enable this project to go forward. And their primary concern
was to make sure that that relationship at one on one between a
single property owner and the state agency that is the steward of the
easement was maintained and intact, and that they didn't find
themselves in a position where there were multiple property owners.
Therefore, the legal advice was that perhaps a co-op arrangement
would be appropriate, and we asked that question of the Department
of Historic Sources, who in turn asked the question of the Attorney
General's office. The Attorney General's office found that that is a
single entity, single owner, that does maintain the construct of the
easement. So that's why that particular ownership arrangement
was selected. Also, we work on easement properties all the time,
whether it's maintenance upgrades, major renovations, or new
construction in my firm, and there's a very systematic approach.
The Department of Historic Resources is responsible for ensuring
the integrity of the easement document, as well as the integrity of
the historic resource. They view that as a one on one relationship
between the property owner and their agency. I am aware that there
are several neighbors, or at least one neighbor who's got a standing
request with the Department of Historic Resources. So, they are
getting that information, but I think the most important thing to
understand is the Department of Historic Resources takes their role
and stewardship of the easement seriously, as do we. And that is
their role and those are the parties in the easement. This is about
a land use question here. So, if you have any questions, I'm happy
to answer them.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Don.
Mr. Horsley:I have a question. You say they take it seriously, what does that
actually mean? I mean, do they? Do they ever inspect the property
or what do they do?
Ms. Pollard:They do, so their role is to inspect and ensure compliance with the
easement document and to ensure appropriate level of maintenance
so that the historic material on the property is not degraded, they
do not take a property maintenance type role, the way that the city
might have property maintenance staff who were dealing with if
there's trash, or if there's overgrown grass. As an example, on
another easement property, where we helped a property owner, we
noted that there was too much painting too close to the foundation.
That was something that the Department of Historic Resources
noted because it was of consequence to the integrity of the
foundation. So, their role is very strictly defined, based on what the
terms of the easement are and stewardship of those historic
resources. That's their purview.
Mr. Horsley:So, they won't come in and inspect the property and say, you gotta
clean this place up and?
Ms. Pollard: No, no, that is not their role. It legally they don't have standing to
do that.
Ms. Oliver: Yes. Mr. Ripley.
Mr. Ripley: So, the design that we've been looking at the layout of the site plan,
the elevations, does that, in your opinion, preserve the architectural
integrity of the time period of this property?
Ms. Pollard:The evaluation had to do with.
Mr. Ripley: Does it enhance it too?
Ms. Pollard:Yes, it had do with this setting. The space around the primary house
was protected and preserved. The general arrangement of where
buildings were developed on site and then also the scale and
massing and form of those buildings reflect an agricultural
character and those were requirements that the Department of
Historic Resources have consistently imposed even to the extent that
Clay recently. Prior to submitting to you all, he had tweaked the
design a little bit and we sent it back through the Department of
Historic Resources and they were unhappy with the trim detailing.
So we went back through and made revisions to more closely reflect
an agricultural outbuilding in the way that the trim around the
windows was designed. So again, their purview and their review and
their focus is very much about the historic buildings, and the
context and the character of this new construction and its
relationship to the historic property.
Ms. Oliver: So, I have a question. All that being said, the existing building, they
want historic buildings, because I'm assuming that the duplex in
the garage apartment are not considered historic.
Ms. Pollard: Correct. The garage apartment is modern. The duplex cottage is
1930s vintage, if I recall correctly, but it had been worked over pretty
dramatically before the easement was recorded. The three silos are
considered historic and the milk barn is considered historic.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Ms. Pollard:And then the main house.
Ms. Oliver: So, my question. So, when you all speak about restoring and
maintaining, what's to prevent all this being done and it not look
exactly the way it does right now? When I say look in that regard or
the appearance of it, the condition of the property surrounding the
buildings, it's overgrown. I'm assuming you've seen it?
Ms. Pollard: I have spent a fair amount of time on site. I would say that the
concerns about the tall grass that I've heard, for example, are more
of a municipal property maintenance issue. They are not something
that the easement enables the Department of Historic Resource to
police because it doesn't have an impact on the historic buildings.
If there's vegetation that's too close, undermining the foundation of
the historic building, certainly they can.
Ms. Oliver: So, you are only concerned about the integrity of the structure, and
what how that's impacted? So just the general unkemptness of the
property is not a concern?
Ms. Pollard: It's not something that DHR is empowered to enforce under the
easement.
Ms. Oliver: So, I think that what I hear the neighbors saying, one of their
concerns is the fact that it's very difficult to move forward on a new
project with the promise for the last 20 years of the grounds being
kept. As their personal property is being kept and it's not really
reflections specifically on the historic reconstruction of the buildings
as much as it is the way the properties being kept?
Ms. Pollard:And I think that's why I was trying to draw a distinction between
with the easement and whose role that easement, whose purview
that is and what that entails and then the master plan concept and
the site work and the new construction. There's certainly an overlap
there, because there's new construction. And there's proposed new
parking and other site improvements. So, there's certainly an
overlap, but as someone who works with easement properties all the
time It gets very tricky when the line over who's responsible for the
easement and what the easement means gets blurred and so I was
just trying to be clear with you all about that.
Ms. Oliver: No, it's good. I think that helps. Yes Mr. Redmond?
Mr. Redmond: Okay. So, I' have,a question. I don't remember who exactly
passes out this because we're still, I'm still hung up on easement.
This is from 2015, was this an earlier iteration of work that you're
doing? Explain the timeline here for me, because I have something
from 2018 in this packet from the Department of Historic Resources,
it says approved.
Ms. Pollard: So that 2015 letter, I think is, I believe is the impetus for why my
firm was called. So, our work post dates that 2015 letter. In that
letter and in prior submissions, the proposal contemplated
subdividing the parcel.
Mr. Redmond: Okay.
Ms. Pollard:And, as with all of our professional lives, there's language and
there's, details of how you approach things that are meaningful for
regulatory body and the current property owner was struggling with
the responses that they were getting about this subdivision and is
there any path forward? So, we were then retained to try and figure
out what is the status of the easement. What are the restrictions of
the easement? How can we help work with DHR potentially or not?
And so, I've read all of those letters, but I wasn't involved in those
discussions directly. But what I can tell you is the drawings that
were attached violated the easement because they showed land
subdivision which would have put the Department of Historic
Resources in a position where they were dealing with more than one
single property owner and that was their concern. They didn't want
to have six owners of the property that they suddenly all had to
manage.
Mr. Redmond: Okay, thank you. I'm sorry, I do have one last.
Ms. Oliver: Go, go right ahead.
Mr. Redmond: I realized it's five.
Ms. Oliver: It's okay. We're not going anywhere.
Mr. Redmond: Have you had any dialogue with some of these neighborhood
folks in the course of your work because they're pretty exercised?
Mr. Dills: Yeah, we had a community meeting I know that I attended, and we
presented it and met with many of the people here, and no one was
held before that and so I know of two, there may have been three.
Mr. Redmond: Right.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We can't engage in that form. I
understand.
Mr. Dills: My understanding was two, I thought there may have been one prior
to that as well.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay.
Thank you very much. We are closing this hearing for discussion
amongst the commissioners and it is open for discussion. Yes, Mr.
Redmond?
Mr. Redmond: So, I think I have a hand on the easement question if Mr.
Inman wants to come and rescue me at any time. I'd be welcome to
see that, you know, circular float come flying in, but as I understand
it, what they're proposing is based on the easement. I think that
what a lot of folks are exercised about are iterations of this plan that
didn't comply with the easement. In any event, to the easement
question, which I think that gentleman made a good point seems to
be the foundation of a lot of this disagreement and others. To me,
that seems resolved. We have a letter from the state. The state is
the one who administers this easement, not me. It's not her. It's
the state that administers this easement and they sent us a letter
that says, approved. That's what I read. I see head shaking, but
that's what I read. So, 2015 to me is not relevant. What is relevant
to me is the plan that's before us, they came forward with a plan for
subdivision and all sorts of other things, and it doesn't work. It's
not legal under this easement. The state's the ones, so I've kind of
push that aside. I don't know why anyone would not want to improve
this ridiculous eyesore of a property, or how anybody can believe
that in its current state, it does not now today degrade property
values. I have been there three times now. The buildings are falling
down that which is replaced or modern buildings, not historic ones
and they're falling down. So, the idea that somehow riffraff is
suddenly going to be living there, I can't imagine the king and queen
are there today. Traffic, it's a minuscule development, miniscule.
Under this plan, it would be a lesser density than all of the
neighborhoods that surrounded and there are a couple of thousand
homes. So, I can't find, I've asked folks who are opposed to it, tell
me what's wrong with it? Tell me what's wrong with it because I
can't find what's wrong with it? Other than fact a lot of people who
don't like it, and I get that part and have visited with some and I
appreciate that part, but this is a property that cries out for
investment and the scheme that they've defined is where you get
that investment and being rude doesn't help. So, I think you have
to have money to be able to spruce something like this up because
it just doesn't nobody's going to come and give it to. So, I'm still
looking for...
Ms. Oliver: Please. Thank you, go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: It does not help to be rude. Okay. So, what I'm still looking
for is a real credible reason why from a land use perspective and
from an improvement perspective, this doesn't work. I do
understand the objection, which I've discussed with these folks in a
private setting that there is kind of a multi-family element involved
here. How do you drop that in the middle of a single-family home
neighborhood, is that compatible? Or is it incompatible? But it's so
tiny in this context, I thought about this all weekend, but I can't
figure out how that makes any difference whatsoever in my own
mind. So, I am, I have struggled with this for quite some time, I'm
still looking for that reason why this is not a good thing, let alone a
bad thing and not an improvement. I just haven't heard it yet,
haven't heard it yet. So, thank you very much.
Unknown Speaker: Shall I speak?
Ms. Oliver: No sir. I'm sorry. Unfortunately, you might not. I do have a
question and I'm not sure who answers this question, when and it
might be the attorney or the original applicant, because when we
saw this prior, what was it in February? When we saw this back in
February? There was is this not the same applicant or now we have?
Are we just talking? Okay, so it was pulled. So my question is, we
restore the buildings, we restore the buildings, we bring them up,
we clean the property up, who is maintaining this after this is all
said and done? Who is the person on this piece of property that is
making sure that the people who have gone into the co-op and who's
maintaining the property?
Mr. Ripley: It's like a condominium regime.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Ms. Wilson: It's a co-op. It will be a co-op board,just like there's a condo board,
but they will be the people, those people will actually be the owners
that own, that have each dwelling, they are on the board.
Ms. Oliver: So, I guess my question is the applicant will not be, she will not.
Ms. Wilson: She will simply be, I'll look at the attorney, and she will simply be
another one of the shareholders. So, she'll just be a shareholder
just like somebody who buys in the three plex?
Mr. Graham: What percentage of ownership will she maintain?
Ms. Wilson: I don't know, are we doing even ownership for everyone? Yes, they're
doing even ownership for everyone so she will have a 15th or
whatever it is.
Mr. Graham: Will co-op be capitalized enough to be able to maintain the
property into perpetuity?
Ms. Wilson: That will be their responsibility. If they don't then somebody from
the state will come down and make enforce the easement.
Ms. Oliver: And the tenants that are on the property now are they in the co-op?
What happens with the duplex in the garage apartment those
people?
Ms. Wilson: Apparently no, they are not on because they are renters at this time.
Ms. Oliver: And who are they renting to, who receives that money?
Mr. Ripley: Let's have the attorney come back?
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Do you mind coming up? I just didn't know who I'm
supposed to address? Come on up you, you can come up to the mic
please. No, ma'am. Thank you.
Mr. Ruloff: The co-op hasn't been formed yet, will form it once we get approval,
they submit to the State of Virginia, either approved and they also
have their regulations to make sure it's done right to protect the
consumer, but to give statements, budgets in order for this to work,
so it's gonna be very detailed. With regard to enforcement, the board
will enforce it to protect own property values. That's how all co-ops
and condominiums will run with associations.
Ms. Oliver: I understand that part, but the existing tenants on this property?
Mr. Ruloff: They are not in a co-op, because they don't exist.
Ms. Oliver: So, who would they answer to?
Mr. Ruloff: The landlord at the moment.
Ms. Oliver: At the moment, I'm going forward. So I'm just trying to figure out
where?
Mr. Ruloff: They don't have 10, 5 year leases, the lease will run this term. The
lease will be terminated. Those units will be retrofitted if necessary
to meet the standard, then that we offered for sale.
Ms. Oliver: They will be offered for sale?
Mr. Ruloff: The units, the lease as hold, you know.
Ms. Oliver: That duplex and the garage apartment. Okay.
Mr. Inman: Will those units be upgraded? Will they be renovated?
Mr. Ruloff: All units to be upgraded to the standard that's the intention, all
units, and the standard required. I'm not the architect, he can
answer that specifically, but every inch of this property is going to
be addressed to bring it up to a standard to meet the market. So,
we get a good caliber of owners in the units. A lot of money, a lot of
time invested to make it work. The alternative is let it fall down.
That's not good for anybody, no one wins. So, this is not my time,
the architect's time. Mr. Arnhold's time, it's been a couple of years,
we've been trying to make this project work. This is the alternative,
which will never fail. I don't think it's good for the city or anyone, or
even good for the neighbors to drive. They say it's a mess. Well, we
want to have the opportunity to undo that mess to create value. And
I'm sure will tell you the caliber neighbors will be good.
Ms. Rucinski: I have a question. So, what happens if there's not enough
interest for people to want to buy into the co-op?
Mr. Ruloff: The way that works like any other project, the developer retains the
interest, okay until each has sold, it's my understanding. I don't
want to commit to this. There's only one person who signed the
contract about what, I think that is from the neighborhood. We have
two contracts from the neighborhood. So not everyone in
neighbourhood opposed this looks like.
Mr. Graham: I have a question. It's really for planning staff, so when the
applicant moves forward, they'll have to go through site plan
approval process, correct?
Mr. Sanders: Yes sir.
Mr. Graham: Okay and through that process, they're gonna have to get a
building permit. They're going to submit building plans. The other
structures on the property, some of the violations we've talked
about, those are going to have to at that point. I can't talk about for
perpetuity here, but at that point, those are going to have to be
addressed, correct. I mean, these site plan approval?
Mr. Sanders: Yes correct and the applicant has agreed if there are any
deficiencies with the existing structures, they would bring that up
to life safety codes and that's noted in your report.
Mr. Graham: Right. So landscaping is going to have to be cleaned up the
mulch, that's all over probably an acre or two of land.
Mr. Tajan: They would have to be maintained in accordance with this plan and
my opinion, we would have proffers that would be on this property
that we could enforce using zoning, using zoning enforcement and
not relying only on the property maintenance.
Mr. Graham: Which would strengthen the city's ability to make sure that
property is maintained?
Mr. Tajan: I believe so as Ms. Wilson tell me otherwise, but I believe we have an
opportunity to have further inspections on the property with the
conditional rezoning on it, to allow us to inspect and get onto the
property. So, we're not bounded by the additional requirements of
property maintenance, which is visibility from the street and right-
of-away and other things that are not required that allow them not
to inspect the property.
Mr. Ruloff: Okay and the proffers deal with the landscaping and Kay Wilson, we
submitted four rounds of proffers, each time getting more strict,
more clear, more demanding. So this property will have I think some
of the most stringent requirements, because you know the city's
requirements and the DHR requirements. So have two sets of eyes
looking at this, that's more stringent than most other communities.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Ripley: You know, Dave, I kind of listen to what Dave says, I mean, I think,
where you are going to find, you need to find a source to upgrade
this and, I think we've heard testimony that the architecture that's
being proposed is going to preserve and respect the architecture of
the time and the plan itself to me looks like a good plan. I hear the
neighbors and their concerns with the experience they've had with
the property owner and the condition of the property. I hear that
loud and clear, you can see it without a doubt. I like the idea that I
know Jim Arnhold gets involved with it will be done right. Hopefully
that works, it didn't sound like he has an agreement at the moment.
I know if Jim are involved in it, he's going to make sure the details
are right and hearing the plan that concerned for just like trim on
the heaves, etc. I developed some property in Williamsburg years
ago, and they had an architectural review board, and they were
looking at details the top of the chimneys. When you get into those
kind of details, you end up with a pretty good product and that's
what it sounds like it's going on here, the weak link, and it is maybe
the where with all the owner. We're talking about land use here, it's
kind of hard to make that judgment and I have no even though right
to say that, but I will just say that, that appears to be sort of a weak
link, if you will. Hopefully, this plan moving forward with the right
people involved. I think, could be a pretty, pretty really nice plan.
You know, we heard testimony that because I had received calls
about traffic, but you know that doesn't appear the traffic is an issue
really. Schools, it's not an issue. You know, I think land use and
value, boy, when you hear that you really gotta pay attention, does
it affect the value of their properties, and I look at the town houses
that are up on Westland, and they adjacent to this neighborhood
and wrap around it to some extent and I don't think there's a valued
reduction as a result of that. Those types of mixtures, if you will, so
preserving this open space is really kind of unique for the city, I'm
inclined to support it.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Don.
Mr. Horsley:You know, dealing with these old historic properties, we've got one
at home, that it's not registered with the state or anything, but it's
an Old Providence racing with the city. And dealing with these old
properties is a problem keeping them up. People would like to see
them, in good shape and it's, it's been a very trying situation for us
to not just put a bulldozer an tear it down to be honest. If I met my
wife, it may have happened years ago, but and we do the best we
can to keep it up. I can understand this, this property getting in
shape it is not with some of the buildings and also in order to
preserve some of this property. You've got to have a way to generate
some revenue to do that. And, everybody doesn't have a big pot of
money that they can put into to preserve in things like this. If it
continues to stay in, it stays in. I've cleaned up some farms that
have been old buildings and old silos on them and they'll eventually
fall down. Then you've got a mass and ends up these, you put a
loader in and clean this stuff up buried or something like that. All it
all and that's not a very pretty sight either. So, if you get an
opportunity to like we have here to upgrade a property that does
have historic significance and, I think it will help keep the property
values in a neighborhood. I mean, if it continues to go down, you're
going to have a big ask in your neighborhood forever and if we can,
can get it restored to a certain extent and with the direction. This
thing has got to go through a lot of approvals. Today is the first one,
and it's got to go to Council and then it's got to go back to Richmond
and I don't know who else has got to approve it. But before it
happens, I got a feeling that this is a start and we've got an approval
stamp from the first approval, so that it could come through us. I
think that, all said and done, I mean, I know we got a lot of neighbors
in opposition to this thing, but I think deep down and we've listened
to what you say, I wasn't a big note taker in college. I listen to what
people say and we put up here to pass judgment on what we think
and we think. I think it's in the best interest land use and that's
what our decisions are based on, land use. I think it's in the best
interest of everybody if this project goes forward to the next step and
see what happens at that stage. So, I'm going to support the
application and those reasons.
Ms. Oliver: Any one else? Yes. Jack.
Mr. Wall: I think it's an interesting concept. You know, applaud their efforts,
but I think, adding multi-family into the heart of a single family
neighborhood, really isn't the best idea. So, I'm not gonna support
it.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Dave.
Mr. Weiner: This is worse than 7-Eleven. I mean, I've been thinking about this.
I've listened to everybody. I don't take good notes either. I don't
think to write, but I've listened, sit up here and listen, and they read
and brought it up. I don't see how it's not affecting the value of your
homes now. What's there now, it's affecting the value of your homes
now. To have some money to actually want to come in and fix it up
is my opinion, I think it's outstanding, so I'm going to support it.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: I would move approval of the application.
Ms. Oliver: Go second.
Mr. Weiner: Second.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: I will not be able to vote. I have a business relationship with the
applicant in a situation. I'm not involved in this matter. I knew
nothing about it till today, but I have other businesses. So, I must
abstain.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Graham: I have a business relationship with Mr. Arnhold, that's
unrelated. I have no financial gain. I will be voting.
Ms. Oliver: Right, anyone else? Thank you.
Mr. Fisher: Vote is open.
Ms. Sandloop: By the recorded vote of 8-2 with Commissioner Inman
abstaining. Agenda Item D1 has been approved.
