AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 10-1 of the City Code to Change the Polling
Location for Central Absentee Voting
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
■ Background: The main office for the Virginia Beach Voter Registrar is moving
from the Municipal Center to 577 Central Drive. Because the office serves as the polling
location for the City's absentee voting, an amendment to the listing of polling locations in
the City Code is required.
■ Considerations: The Voter Registrar plans to move to the 577 Central Drive
location on or about August 30th, which allows sufficient time to prepare for the absentee
voting that commences on September 20th. The proposed action is required to be
completed at least 60 days prior to the November General Election and Special Elections.
■ Public Information: As required by Section 24.2-306 of the Code of Virginia, a
notice of this proposed change has been published in the newspaper once a week for two
consecutive weeks, and as provided in the published notice, there will be a public hearing
at the August 20, 2019 Formal Session.
■ Recommendations: Adopt the proposed change.
■ Attachments: Ordinance

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Add Section 7-58.1 and to Amend Section 7-59.1 of the City
Code to Limit the Operation of Motorized Scooters in Certain Areas and upon
Certain Streets
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: In August 2018, the City first experienced an influx of motorized
scooters. In the intervening twelve months, the City Council has received multiple
reports from citizens, business owners and local physicians that motorized scooters
are directly responsible for multiple skeletal factures and head injuries. The Council
has also received reports that local businesses are hampered and the orderly
movement of pedestrians is disrupted by the operation of motorized scooters upon
sidewalks and the discarding of such scooters upon the sidewalk and other rights-of-
way. The Council desires to address activities that are hazardous to the health and
well-being of its citizens and visitors.
• Considerations: The City Council believes targeted geographical restrictions
upon the operation of motorized scooters prioritizes the movement of pedestrians and
bicycles in a densely-populated area where the citizens and visitors are most likely to
traverse by foot or bicycle. To that end, the attached ordinance provides a
geographical restriction upon motorized scooters in the area bounded by the east side
of Arctic Avenue on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Rudee Loop to the
south, and the north side of 42nd Street to the north.
The Council further believes the limitations upon motorized scooters upon streets with
speed limits in excess of 25 miles per hour will avoid the most horrific and possibly
deadly of injuries associated with the operation of motorized scooters. Accordingly,
the attached ordinance limits motorized scooters to those streets with a speed limit of
25 miles per hour or less.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process. The topic of motorized scooters was discussed at the Informal
Session of August 6, 2019, and that Informal Session was broadcast on VBTV and the
City's website.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Support the City Applications for Funding from the Virginia
Department of Transportation's Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program for
FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: The Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program (TASA) is a
federally funded, state administered program intended to help local sponsors fund
community based projects that enhance the transportation experience by improving the
cultural, historical, and environmental aspects of the transportation infrastructure.
Projects supported within this program focus on providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
The TASA is not a grant, and funds are only available on a reimbursement basis with a
minimum 20% local match. However, a higher than minimum commitment of non-TASA
funds garners additional points during the evaluation process. Beginning in 2017, the
TASA became a biennial application. Thus, City's applications presented herein are for
project award and allocations for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
• Considerations: The following five projects have been identified as candidates
for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and Fiscal Year 2021-2022 TASA funding:
1. Bay Colony Drive Sidewalk — Phase I — This project will provide a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk with a 6-foot wide vegetated buffer along the north side of Bay
Colony Drive from Atlantic Avenue to York Lane, a total distance of approximately
0.86 miles. The proposed improvements will provide a continuous sidewalk
connecting the multi-use path at Atlantic Avenue to the City owned Bay Colony Park,
located between Redtree Court and York Lane. This phase of the project also includes
new accessible curb ramps at seven intersecting streets along Bay Colony Drive.
The total project cost is estimated at $1,571,910. The City will exceed the required
local match with a 31% local funds commitment ($487,292)from the Roadways Traffic
Safety Improvements CIP Program (CIP #2-111). The remaining 69%, or$1 ,084,618,
will be requested in TASA funds.
2. Independence Boulevard / Columbus Street Pedestrian Improvements — This
project will provide an at-grade pedestrian crossing and median refuge across
Independence Boulevard at Columbus Street. Project improvements include removal
of one of the two southbound left turn lanes on Independence Boulevard; installing a
pedestrian refuge area, median and pedestrian signalization equipment on the north
leg of the Independence Boulevard/Columbus Street intersection; striping; and
required accessible curb ramps. The ramp on the northwest corner of the
Independence Boulevard/Columbus Street intersection will be replaced to meet ADA
compliance and better align with the ramp on the northeast corner of the intersection.
The total project cost is estimated at$511,385. The City will exceed the required local
match with a 31% local funds commitment ($158,529) from the Roadways Traffic
Safety Improvements CIP Program (CIP # 2-111). The remaining 69%, or $352,856,
will be requested in TASA funds.
3. Indian Hill Road Sidewalk—This project will provide a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
with curb and gutter and storm water system along the west side of Indian Hill Road
between Shore Drive and Lookout Road. The sidewalk will run approximately 0.55
miles and provide crosswalks at Ben Gunn Road, Battery Road, Bayville Road, and
Lookout Road. Project improvements also include new accessible curb ramps at five
intersecting streets along Indian Hill Road.
The total project cost is estimated at $1,472,971. The City will exceed the required
local match with a 31% local funds commitment ($456,621)from the Roadways Traffic
Safety Improvements CIP Program (CIP#2-111). The remaining 69%, or$1,016,350,
will be requested in TASA funds.
4. Parliament Drive Sidewalk — Phase I — This project will provide a 5-foot wide
concrete sidewalk along the southern side of Parliament Drive from Coventry Road to
Huntington Drive, a total distance of approximately 0.20 miles. The proposed concrete
sidewalk will connect to existing sidewalk at Coventry Road as well as a small section
of existing sidewalk within the project limits. The project will extend the fully funded
Parliament Drive Sidewalk Phase II and provide a continuous path along Parliament
Drive. The concrete sidewalk will be entirely located within existing right-of-way. The
project includes new accessible curb ramps at each intersection along Parliament
Drive; piping the existing ditch; new curb and gutter; and utility relocations. The
proposed sidewalk will provide connectivity and greatly improve safety for pedestrians
walking to area destinations such as Point O'View Elementary School, Parliament
Park, Arrowhead Shopping Center, and two churches.
The total project cost is estimated at $1,083,386. The City will exceed the required
local match with a 31% local funds commitment($335,849)from the Roadways Traffic
Safety Improvements CIP Program (CIP # 2-111). The remaining 69%, or $747,537,
will be requested in TASA funds.
5. Sandbridge Road Sidewalk — This project will provide a 6-foot wide concrete
sidewalk along the north side of Sandbridge Road. The sidewalk will run
approximately 0.20 miles from Red Mill Elementary School to the existing sidewalk at
the City Red Mill Farms Park ballfields. Red Mill Farms Park currently has no sidewalk
connection to the Red Mill Elementary School. The existing Park includes two lighted
ball fields, a playground, and a multi-use path connection to the adjacent
neighborhood of Red Mill Farms. The proposed project will also include a pedestrian
crossing to span over the existing drainage channel. Right-of-way acquisition is
required for the project; however, the City of Virginia Beach owns all adjacent property,
so the acquisition process will be streamlined at no cost to the project.
The total project cost is estimated at $787,602. The City will exceed the required local
match with a 31% local funds commitment ($244,156) from the Roadways Traffic
Safety Improvements CIP Program (CIP # 2-111). The remaining 69%, or $543,446,
will be requested in TASA funds.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Support the City's Applications for the Virginia Department of
Transportation's Revenue Sharing Program Funding for FY 2020-21 and FY
2021-22
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
in Background: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Revenue
Sharing Program was created by the Virginia General Assembly to provide localities
with additional funding for immediately needed priority projects or to supplement funding
for existing projects on the highway network within a locality. The program provides
state funding at a dollar for dollar match with local funds. The Revenue Sharing
Program accepts applications on a biennial cycle. Therefore, the City's 2019
applications and their subsequent allocations are for FY 2020-21 and 2021-22. The next
opportunity to apply for Revenue Sharing Program funds will be fall of 2021. The
Revenue Sharing Program is not a grant program and funds are only available on a
reimbursement basis.
In July 2017 and in December 2018, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB)
revised the Revenue Sharing Program guidelines. Per the CTB policy changes, the
maximum each locality can request is $5 million in state Revenue Sharing allocations
per fiscal year ($10 million per biennial cycle). In addition, the maximum lifetime limit of
state Revenue Sharing funds per any individual project is $10 million. Previously, the
maximum request per fiscal year was $10 million and there was no lifetime limit per
project.
• Considerations: The following three Roadways Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) projects have been identified as candidate projects for Revenue Sharing Program
funds in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22: Sandbridge Road — Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-A
(CIP # 2-078); Shore Drive Corridor Improvements - Phase IV (CIP # 2-118); and Elbow
Road Extended Phase II-D (CIP # 2-153). Sandbridge — Nimmo Phase VII-A is an
existing Revenue Sharing Program project.
Sandbridge Road — Nimmo Parkway Phase VD-A (CIP # 2-078):
The Sandbridge Road — Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-A project will improve safety and
provide an alternate route for travelers accessing Sandbridge. Project improvements
include a two-lane undivided roadway with shoulders from Sandpiper Road to
approximately 1.1 miles west of Sandpiper Road at the eastern terminus of the Nimmo
Parkway Phase VII-B project (CIP # 2-110). The total project cost of the Sandbridge —
Nimmo project is approximately $22.9 million. The City is requesting a total of $9 million
of new Revenue Sharing funding in this application - $5 million in FY 2020-21 and $4
million in FY 2021-22. The project has also previously received $1 million from Revenue
Sharing funds. As a result, if new funds are allocated to this project, then the project will
reach its lifetime maximum. Previously appropriated and programmed funds within the
Sandbridge - Nimmo CIP project will provide the required dollar for dollar $9 million local
match.
Shore Drive Corridor Improvements — Phase IV (CIP # 2-118):
The Shore Drive Corridor Improvements - Phase IV project will improve vehicular and
pedestrian traffic flow along Shore Drive from the Marlin Bay Drive and Sandy Oaks
Drive intersection to the west end of the Lesner Bridge. Proposed improvements include
a multi-use trail, on-street bike lanes and a 5-foot sidewalk. The project will improve
safety within the roadway and intersections, and enhance the overall corridor with
aesthetic elements such as landscaping and lighting. The total project cost is
approximately $14.5 million. The City is requesting $500,000 of Revenue Sharing
funding in FY 2021-22. Previously appropriated funds within the Shore Drive Corridor
Improvements — Phase IV CIP project will provide the required dollar for dollar local
match of$500,000.
Elbow Road Extended Phase II-D project (CIP # 2-153):
The Elbow Road Extended Phase II-D project will provide an additional two lanes
(westbound) of Elbow Road/Dam Neck Road from Salem Road to the Virginia Beach
Amphitheater West Parking Area and the Western Princess Anne Athletic Complex.
This is approximately 1.2 miles in length. The construction of the additional two lanes
with Phase II-D will complete the ultimate four-lane divided roadway configuration on
Elbow Road/Dam Neck Road from Chesapeake City line to the Virginia Beach
Amphitheatre. The total project cost is approximately $27.3 million. The City is
requesting $500,000 of Revenue Sharing funding in FY 2021-22. Existing FY 22
programmed funds within the Elbow Road Phase II-D CIP project will provide the
required dollar for dollar local match of$500,000.
• Alternatives: Without the Revenue Sharing funding, City funding will be
required to fund these projects.
• Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council Agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: A Resolution Approving a Contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia to Provide
Funding for Mental Health, Developmental, and Substance Use Disorder Services
Provided by the Community Services Board
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: The Commonwealth of Virginia, through its Department of
Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), provides funding for Mental
Health, Developmental, and Substance Use Disorder services through a performance
contract with local Community Services Boards (CSB) and Behavioral Health Authorities.
This contract specifies the services to be provided by the CSB, the costs of those
services, all revenues used to support the services, lists all state and federal statutory
and regulatory requirements applicable to the CSB, and contains outcome and
performance measures for the CSB. Under the provisions of the Code of Virginia § 37.2-
509(A)(5), DBHDS requires localities to match a minimum of 10% of the total amount of
state and local funds. The City of Virginia Beach exceeds this minimum.
• Considerations: Pursuant to the Code of Virginia § 37.2-508, the contract provides
a substantial amount of funding needed to maintain important CSB services. This funding
has previously been appropriated by the Department of Human Services through the
City's FY 2019-20 Operating Budget. The funding sources that support the $62,517,190
contract consist of:
o $23,621,139 in total fee revenue,
o $23,149,430 in local matching funds from the City,
o $11,881,438 in state revenue,
o $2,051,908 in federal revenue,
o $1,424,542 in revenue from other sources, and
o $388,733 of regional state funding paid directly to vendors on behalf of the
Virginia Beach CSB.
The contract was approved by the CSB at a board meeting on August 15, 2019.
• Public Information: This item will be advertised as part of the regular Council
Agenda process. As required by law, the performance contract was made available for
public comment for a period of 30 days. The 30 day window expired at the end of July.
• Attachments: Resolution; Exhibit A (Performance Contract Summary)

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $1,667,976 in Fund Balance and to Transfer
$142,240 from the Public Utilities Regular Reserve for Expenses Related to the
Relocation of Staff
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: Following the events of May 31, 2019 there was an immediate
need to relocate the 383 City staff members that were previously housed in Building 2.
Facilities Management temporarily relocated employees to 28 various locations across
the city while identifying appropriate long-term leased space for each department. On
June 18, 2019 City Council transferred $1,250,000 from General Fund Vacancy savings
to CIP 3-149, "Various Buildings Rehab and Renewal IV" to begin to address this need.
Currently, additional appropriations totaling $1 ,810,216 are necessary to complete the
build-out of the newly leased spaces for the Departments of Planning and Information
Technology, for the demolition of the interior of Building 2, as well as for the purchase of
replacement computers for staff relocated from Building 2.
Of the total $1,810,216, the General Fund's need is $1,667,976, of which $219,570 will
be transferred to the computer replacement program, and $1,448,406 will be transferred
to CIP 3-149, "Various Buildings Rehab and Renewal IV." The remaining amount of
$142,240 will be transferred from the Public Utilities Enterprise Fund's regular reserve
to the Computer Replacement Program. Future reimbursement of these expenses from
state and federal grants as well as insurance recovery will possibly occur. A table with
an estimate of current needs is below.
Need Amount
Public Utilities Computer Replacement $142,240
General Fund Computer Replacement $219,570
Build-outs of Leased Space $648,406
Demolition of Building 2 Interior $800,000
Total $1,810,216
• Considerations: The City issued requests for proposals for 50,000 sq. ft of
office space for the Departments of Public Works and Public Utilities. As the resulting
leases, custodial needs, and utility costs are determined, additional appropriations and
transfers may be necessary. In addition, the funding for these expenses are anticipated
to be budgeted in the respective departments' FY 2020-21 operating budgets.
The Department of Information Technology has also indicated that as staff moves in to
more permanent work places, many of the computers within Building 2 will be able to be
repurposed. When possible, the computer replacement program will credit the General
Fund and Public Utilities if computers issued to temporary work locations are returned
and able to be redeployed to staff in another department.
The use of fund balance will slightly impact the Unrestricted General Fund Fund
Balance as a percentage of FY 2019-20 revenues. The Department of Finance is
currently finalizing the Fund Balance numbers for FY 2018-19, and the fund balance will
remain within the City's policy of 8-12%.

of Criminal Justice Services to the Office of Emergency Management for Victim
Services Related to the May 31 Event
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: The City has been awarded $3,000,000 from the Virginia
Department of Criminal Justice Services through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). This
is a federal grant from the Department of Justice that is passed through the Virginia
Department of Criminal Justice Services. The grant's purpose is to provide bridge funding
related to the city's recovery and support as a result of the May 31, 2019 event. The
VOCA funding to be reimbursed must be specifically related to services to direct and
indirect victims resulting from the event.
This funding will be used to support the City's long-term recovery center, the VB Strong
Center. Through a partnership with Sentara, the City plans to open and operate a
centralized facility that will provide a variety of services to victims and their families. The
VB Strong Center will be dedicated to serving as a multi-agency resource and referral
center for victims, their families, city residents, and first responders affected by the May
31 tragedy. This center will be managed and operated by Sentara, with City oversight.
The Center will be staffed by knowledgeable and caring professionals to help people
access resources to help them build strength and resiliency in the aftermath of this
incident. It is anticipated that additional funding for the operation of this facility will be
provided by Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program through the United States
Department of Justice's Office of Victims of Crime.
• Considerations: The total grant amount is $3,000,000. The program period is
May 31, 2019 to June 30, 2021 for obligation of funds.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funding from the Virginia Department of
Transportation State of Good Repair / Primary Extension Program to Capital
Project 2-026, "Street Reconstruction II," for Road Paving Projects
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
■ Background: The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) established the
Primary Extension Paving Program to distribute available paving funding with both CTB
Formula Funds and State of Good Repair funds. Starting on July 1, 2014, localities that
maintain their own primary extension roads can receive a portion of the reconstruction
and paving funds that was previously reserved for interstates and primary roads. The
Primary Extension Paving Program provides funding for qualifying road segments, up to
$1 million per locality. Applications submitted to the Virginia Department of Transportation
are scored via a prioritization process. This is not a grant program, and funds are available
on a reimbursement basis. Any costs above $1 million must be borne by the locality.
The City received $1 million in FY 2020 state allocations to pave the following three
roadway segments:
Total Paving Cost State Local
Allocations Contribution
Atlantic Avenue Northbound & $214,811 $209,000 $5,811
Southbound (66th St. to 80th St.)
Shore Drive Eastbound (Greenwell Rd. $261 ,581 $231 ,000 $30,581
to Marlin Bay Dr.)
Virginia Beach Blvd Westbound (N. $565,549 $560,000 $5,549
Lynnhaven to Little Neck)
Total $1,041,941 $1,000,000 $41,941
The total paving cost for these road segments is estimated at $1,041,941. The City will
use available funds in the "Street Reconstruction II" project (CIP # 2-026) of the Capital
Improvement Program for the balance to complete the project ($41,941).
• Considerations: The aforementioned road segments of Atlantic Avenue, Shore
Drive, and Virginia Beach Boulevard have been identified as preferred candidates in the
City's FY 2019-20 paving schedule.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Surplus Funding from the Virginia
Department of Transportation's Highway Infrastructure Program to Capital
Project 2-049, "Centerville Turnpike Phase II" and Transfer $1,380,901 from
Capital Project 2-049 to Capital Project 2-110, "Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-B"
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background: The Highway Infrastructure Program (HIP) is federally funded
program intended to help local sponsors fund regionally significant highway and transit
projects with a focus on arterial roadways. The HIP is a subgroup of the Regional Surface
Transportation Program (RSTP) and is part of the core Federal-aid Highway program.
The HIP is not a grant program, and funds are only available on a reimbursement basis
with an 80% / 20% split between federal and state funds. The HIP program does not
require a local match. At times, the HIP program has excess funds, which are then
disbursed to eligible and active RSTP projects in the Commonwealth.
• Considerations: The City has received $1,380,901 ($1,104,721 federal and
$276,180 state) of surplus FY 2018-19 HIP funds for Centerville Turnpike Phase II (CIP
# 2-409). The Centerville Turnpike Phase II project is an active, existing RSTP project
that is therefore eligible to accept the surplus HIP funds. The project will improve
Centerville Turnpike, a major arterial road, from Indian River Road to Kempsville Road,
by expanding a two-lane undivided roadway into a four-lane divided roadway.
The Centerville Turnpike Phase II project is currently fully funded. The addition of HIP
funds will result in the project being overfunded. Local funds currently on the Centerville
Turnpike Phase II project can therefore be transferred to another project. Nimmo Parkway
Phase VII-B (CIP#2-110) is an existing Roadways CIP project with a balance to complete
of $28,172,074. As such, $1,380,901 in local funds are proposed to be transferred from
Centerville Turnpike Phase II to Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-B.
The excess HIP funds must be obligated prior to September 2021 or the funds will be de-
allocated and returned to the RSTP reserve account. Centerville Turnpike Phase II will
commence construction prior to this deadline and therefore funds will be able to be spent
for reimbursement prior to the state deadline.

AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: TOWN CENTER ASSOCIATES 9, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Special
Exception for Alternative Compliance (Multi-Tenant Blade Sign) for the
property located at 4556 Commerce Street (GPIN 1477541429), COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BAYSIDE.
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
The property is located within the Central Business Core (CBC) District at Town
Center, an area with unique regulations for signage. There is currently one
elevated public terrace that is located adjacent to the Zeiders American Dream
Theater and creates an elevated mid-block connection between Columbus Street
and Commerce Street. This public terrace is a unique design element and creates
a condition in which three storefronts exist only at the second level, do not have a
ground story presence, and the main entrances are oriented towards a plaza space
not easily seen from street level. Based on this, the applicant requests a Special
Exception for Alternative Compliance to install a multi-tenant blade sign to increase
exposure for the tenants.
• Considerations:
The elevated storefront location makes it impossible to comply with the signage
regulations in two distinct sections of the CBC regulations. Specifically, the signage
location is not on a portion of the building wall occupied by the establishment and
the businesses that the sign will advertise are not ground story establishments.
The proposed signage will be located at a ground story location adjacent to one
set of stairs that will allow access to the storefronts. The proposed sign will also
announce the presence of the public terrace in this location. The request for the
proposed sign is acceptable as it will assist in wayfinding to second story
establishments and the public terrace that may be somewhat challenging to locate
otherwise. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staffs evaluation,
are provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this
request.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission placed
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
Town Center Associates 9, LLC
Page 2 of 2
1. The blade sign shall substantially conform to the submitted exhibit entitled "Premier
Apartments Wayfinding Signs, Sign Permit Drawings Rev. L Final" dated
5/30/2019 and prepared by Advanced Design.
2. The words "Public Terrace" or other name as determined by the Town Center
Advisory Board shall be added as a separate listing on the sign, either above or in
place of "Use Stair."
3. In order to accommodate the additional listing for "Public Terrace," the size of the
sign may be increased up to 12 square feet per face.
4. The sign shall be placed at a pedestrian-oriented height while maintaining a
minimum vertical clearance of eight feet.
5. The sign shall not exceed 12 square feet in size and shall not extend more than
three feet from the building.
6. The bracket used to attach the sign will be finished in a manner to make it blend in
as much as possible with the existing stone color so that it will not stand out when
installed.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The request for a Special Exception for Alternative Compliance for the proposed sign is acceptable.The sign will provide
direction to second story establishments that may be somewhat challenging to locate otherwise.There are a few unique
instances in which second story tenants are accessed through public plaza spaces and do not have a ground story
presence.The pedestrian scale and orientation of the proposed sign aligns with the pedestrian-oriented environment
and urban core setting established for Town Center through the Comprehensive Plan, Pembroke Strategic Growth Area
Plan, and Central Business Core District Design Guidelines.
Therefore,Staff recommends approval of this request as conditioned below.
Recommended Conditions

separate listing on the sign, either above or in place of"Use Stair."
3. In order to accommodate the additional listing for"Public Terrace," the size of the sign may be increased up to
12 square feet per face.
4. The sign shall be placed at a pedestrian-oriented height while maintaining a minimum vertical clearance of eight
feet.
5. The sign shall not exceed 12 square feet in size and shall not extend more than three feet from the building.
6. The bracket used to attach the sign will be finished in a manner to make it blend in as much as possible with the
existing stone color so that it will not stand out when installed.

Alternative Compliance

District—Bayside
July 10, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Ms. Rucinski: All right, thank you. The next item is item number nine. And that is an application
for Town Center Associates 9, LLC, the applicant and owner for alternative
compliance at 4556. Commerce Street in the Bayside District.
Mr. Ward: Hello, good afternoon. I'm Carter Ward.
Ms. Rucinski: And are the conditions acceptable to you?
Mr. Ward: Yes.
Ms. Rucinski: All right. Thank you. Is there any opposition to this site and being placed on the
consent agenda? Seeing none, the chair has asked Commissioner Dave Redmond
to read this to the record.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you, Jan. This is not a very usual application. This is an application for
alternative compliance. This site in the Town Center lies within the central business
core district. The signage requirements within that district are very specific and
very stringent. The long and short of it is a blade sign typically has to attach to a
wall that is adjacent to a particular business. This is a multi tenant blade sign that
will not because there are more than one tenant on it. It needs the alternative
compliance under the ordinance, specifically so we can be placed on this location
near the stairwell which projects into the plaza of Town Center. That's the place to
put sign, if it is to most effectively serve the public interest, which is to allow
people, which there are a lot who move around the plaza center of Town Center
and so it makes eminent sense that the blade sign would be located there. There is
no detriment to having a blade sign at that spot in Town Center. There is the
obvious public benefit to it. There is no opposition and the Planning Commission
feels that this is best dealt with by placing it on a consent. Thank you.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, agenda items one, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and D1 have
been approved by consent.

AGENDA ITEM I
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: August 20, 2019
■ Background:
This application was previously deferred by the City Council to the August 20, 2019
meeting. The applicant requests an indefinite deferral in order to consider
alternative development options for the property.
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.
Anina Budig
Page 2 of 2
■ 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.

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
Anina Budig
Agenda Item D1
Page 2
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

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.

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 D 1 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 D 1 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. Barcoma: 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 D 1 has been approved.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: PRINCESS ANNE HOTEL, LLC [Applicant] CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
[Property Owner] Modification of Proffers (B-2 Community Business District
to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District) for the property located at the
northeast corner of the Princess Anne Road & Community College Place,
(GPINs 1485349414, 1485442154), COUNCIL DISTRICT — CENTERVILLE.
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
The City Council voted to declare this property as excess on March 19, 2019. On
April 16, 2019, the City Council approved the rezoning of the 6.50-acre property
along Princess Anne Road adjacent to the Tidewater Community College.
Unfortunately, the proffer agreement attached to the request referenced the
original exhibits, rather than the revised site layout and landscaping plans, and the
updated sign elevation. This housekeeping item will ensure that what City Council
approved will be in substantial conformance with what it ultimately constructed on
the property.
The project includes the construction of two hotels with up to 226 rooms as well as
a stand-alone restaurant. It is the intent of the applicant to establish a shared
parking agreement between the uses on all three parcels. Vehicular access is
limited to Community College Place, as this section of Princess Anne Road is
identified as a limited access roadway.
• Considerations:
Securing a location for a hotel in the Princess Anne Commons area has been
challenging due to the AICUZ restrictions and the environmental constraints that
exist in the area. This site is particularly attractive as a hotel site as it is located in
the less than 65 dB DNL noise zone, outside of the Floodplain Subject to Special
Restrictions, and is in close proximity to the Princess Anne Athletic Complex, the
Virginia Beach Sportsplex, the Amphitheater, the future Biopark, and various
medical facilities. The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's vision
for Princess Anne Special Economic Growth Area 4, which encourages hospitality
uses.
As recommended by the Plan, the applicant submitted a preliminary drainage
strategy and subject to several modifications, Staff is confident that the concepts
proposed will meet the required stormwater standards. The analysis showed that
the stormwater outfall for the project will be directed to the southeast into a 72-inch
Princess Anne Hotels, LLC
Page 2 of 2
pipe under Princess Anne Road, through the existing stormwater ponds at
Landstown High School, and eventually into the North Landing River. As such,
Staff does not believe that the stormwater from this property will have any impact
on the nearby Buckner Boulevard.
Further details pertaining to the rezoning application, as well as Staffs evaluation,
are provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this
request.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission placed
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• In 1983,the subject site was rezoned from R-8 Residential District to B-2 Community Business District. Since
that time,the 6.46-acre site located at the current entrance to Tidewater Community College has remained
vacant.
• As the property is owned by the City of Virginia Beach,the Department of Economic Development sent out a
request for proposal for development of the property. Two responses were received and the applicant's
proposal was selected.
• The applicant requests a rezoning of the site,which currently consists of two parcels, to B-4 Mixed Use in order
to construct two hotels and a restaurant. Additionally,the applicant intends to subdivide the site to ultimately
create a total of three parcels.
• The parcel located at the corner of Community College Place and Princess Anne Road, as depicted on the site
layout, is proposed to be developed with a nearly 5,200 square-foot stand-alone restaurant.
• The second parcel, also located along Community College Place, is proposed to be developed with a Hampton
Inn &Suites with up to 120 guest rooms.
• The third parcel, located to the southeast along Princess Anne Road, is proposed to be developed with another
hotel with up to 120 guest rooms.
• Access to all three future parcels will be via a single point of ingress/egress along Community College Place. No
access to Princess Anne Road is being requested. Cross-access and shared-access ingress/egress easements will
be established during the recordation of the final plat.
• The applicant has proffered that a new westbound turn lane within Community College Place will be constructed
when the property is developed.
• The site layout depicts the required street frontage,foundation and interior parking lot landscape material.
• The Zoning Ordinance requires one parking space per lodging unit and one space per every 100 square feet of
floor area for the restaurant. As depicted on the site layout,the proposed 5,200 square-foot restaurant requires
52 parking spaces and the two hotels require 208 parking spaces, for a total parking requirement of 260 spaces.
The submitted site layout depicts a total of 265 parking spaces among the three parcels. The applicant is aware
of the potential need of a shared parking agreement amongst the three parcels in order to meet the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff supports this approach.
• The submitted proffered building elevation of the hotel building depicts an exterior with neutral or earth-tone
colors with primary building materials of brick and EIFS. Both of the hotels and the restaurant will feature
similar building materials, color schemes, and architectural style.
• An eight foot tall, monument-style sign with a brick base is proposed for each of the three new parcels.
• The applicant's engineer identified approximately 0.425 acres of isolated, non-tidal, emergent wetlands within
five scattered pockets on the site. This exhibit entitled "Onsite Wetland Exhibit" is found on page 10 of this
report. The applicant has submitted this information to the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers and is awaiting an
official wetland delineation approval. Once a full approval has been obtained, a Joint Permit Application will be
Princess Anne Hotel, LLC
Agenda Item 15
Page 2
submitted in pursuit of filling these wetlands for the development of the property. As a means of mitigating for
the wetlands impacts,the applicant intends to purchase credit from a commercial mitigation bank servicing the
Southern Rivers watershed.

Evaluation and Recommendation
This request to rezone the site to B-4 Mixed Use for the purpose of developing two hotels and a restaurant is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan's vision for Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA)4- Princess Anne Commons. The Plan
encourages hospitality uses which are directly adjacent to the Virginia Beach campuses of Tidewater Community
College,Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University. Securing a location for a hotel in the Princess Anne
Commons area of Virginia Beach has been challenging due to the AICUZ restrictions and the environmental constraints
that exist in this area. This site is located in the less than 65 dB DNL noise zone and outside of the Floodplain Subject to
Special Restrictions;thereby making it ideal for development.
The growth of the area, which includes the Sentara Princess Anne Hospital,the Amphitheater,the Princess Anne Athletic
Complex,the Virginia Beach Sportsplex, along with the future development of the Virginia Beach Biomedical Park, has
further increased the need for a hotel in the southern part of the city. The applicant intends to partner with the
Tidewater Community College Hospitality Management Program to provide real-world training opportunities for
students.
As recommended by the Comprehensive Plan,the applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage study to the
Development Services Center(DSC)outlining the proposed stormwater strategy for the subject site. As a result of the
review,the DSC concurs that while there are still items that need to be addressed during final design, the proposed
conceptual stormwater strategy can be modified to successfully comply with the stormwater requirements of this site.
However, this review is not a formal approval of the submitted stormwater plan. More details will be required and a
formal review will take place during review of the construction plan through the DSC.
Princess Anne Hotel, LLC
Agenda Item 15

In Staffs opinion,the proposed request will provide a valuable commodity that is currently lacking in part of Virginia
Beach. The proposed site layout and elevations provide confidence of a quality,attractive design that will enhance the
Princess Anne Road corridor. Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the submitted proffers.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement(CZA).The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
"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 the Property is developed,the site design shall be substantially in accordance with the Plan titled "Preliminary Site
Layout of TCC Select Service Hotel," dated May 14, 2018, prepared by MSA, P.C.,which has been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community Development.
(hereinafter the "Site Plan").
Proffer 2:
When the Property is developed, the design of the buildings shall be substantially in accordance with the Building
Renderings labeled as"Home 2 Hotel New Build Exterior—Day View", which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach
City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community Development. (hereinafter
the "Building Renderings").
Proffer 3:
When the Property is developed, a Landscape Plan reflective of the location and plant material depicted on the
submitted landscape exhibit entitled "Conceptual Site Layout& Landscape Plan of TCC—Outparcels," dated May 16,
2018, prepared by MSA, P.C., shall be submitted for review and approval.
Proffer 4:
When the Property is developed,the freestanding sign for each of the properties shall be substantially in accordance
with the sign exhibit entitled "Freestanding Sign", dated June 19, 2018, prepared by MSA, P.C.,which has been exhibited
to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community
Development. (hereinafter the "Sign Exhibit"). Said sign(s)shall be monument style, no taller than eight feet in height
and shall have a brick base to match the building.
Proffer 5:
As will be depicted on the final Site Plan when the Property is developed, a new westbound left turn lane with the
appropriate storage and taper lengths within Community College Place roadway will be constructed.
Proffer 6:
Further conditions lawfully imposed by applicable development ordinances may be required by the Grantee during
detailed site plan and/or subdivision review and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies
and departments to meet
Staff Comments:
The submitted proffers provide confidence of a cohesive development with quality materials and design.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan submitted
with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.All
Princess Anne Hotel, LLC
Agenda Item 15
Page 4
applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning/Development Services
Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division,and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy,are required
before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention
techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA)4- Princess
Anne Commons in recognition of the land development constraints and economic development opportunities
associated with this area's location within a military aircraft overfly zone. Focus should be placed on providing locations
for rural or campus-like development, participatory sports,entertainment venues,tourism, biomedical research and
hospitality uses which can benefit from their proximity to campuses of Tidewater Community College and the Old
Dominion University/ Norfolk State University.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters. As previously stated, several small areas of isolated, non-tidal, emergent wetland areas are present on the site.
The applicant is aware of the need for a Joint Permit Application (JPA). There do not appear to be any other significant
cultural or natural resources associated with the site.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Princess Anne Road in the vicinity of this application is considered an eight-lane divided major urban arterial. The MTP
proposes a divided, access controlled facility with bikeway within a 150-foot right-of-way.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
These sites must connect to City water. There is an existing 24-inch City water transmission main along Princess Anne
Road. A City water main may be extended from the transmission main for connection purposes provided hydraulic
analysis supports the potential demand. Plans and bonds are required for construction extension of water system.
Sewer
City sewer is not available to the sites as proposed. Plans and bonds are required for constructing the extension of the
sewer system.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of David W. Lee and Kimberly B. Lee for the
Closure of One-half of an Unimproved Unnamed Alley Adjacent to the Rear of
617 S. Atlantic Avenue in Croatan
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
David W. Lee and Kimberly B. Lee (the "Applicants") own property located at 617
S. Atlantic Avenue (GPIN: 2426-39-5548), in the Croatan neighborhood. The
Applicants have requested the closure of approximately 375 sq. ft. of the platted,
unnamed, and unimproved alley adjacent to the rear of their property (the "Right-
of-Way") for the purpose of incorporating the closed area into their property.
• Considerations:
This street closure request is consistent with City Council's policy aimed at
disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan
community.
Other street closure requests similar to this request have been granted to property
owners within the same block. The Viewers determined that the closure of the
Right-of-Way, with conditions set forth below, will not result in a public
inconvenience. There was no opposition to the request.
It should be noted that the staff report inadvertently quoted the Department of
Public Works as indicating that there are no assets in the Right-of-Way; therefore,
there was no need for a public "drainage" easement. However, it was actually the
Department of Public Utilities that stated there were no assets in the Right-of-Way;
therefore, there was no need for a public "utility" easement. A drainage easement
is needed an will be required as a condition of the street closure.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to City
Council with the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.

Page 2 of 2
2. The Applicants shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the Right-of-Way into the adjoining parcel. The resubdivision plat
must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval. Said plat must include the dedication of a public drainage easement
over the Right-of-Way to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of
the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney's office, which easement
shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicants shall verify that no private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way
proposed for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the
utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved
within one year of the City Council approval, said approval shall be considered
null and void.

Evaluation and Recommendation
A Viewers Meeting was held,that included City Staff from the departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning
and Community Development and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider this application.The Viewers determined
that the proposed closure will not result in any public inconvenience;therefore,closure of this portion of the right-of-
way is deemed acceptable. The Department of Public Works has indicated that there are no assets within the 375
square foot area;therefore,there is no need for a drainage easement.
City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the
Croatan community. Many similar requests have been reviewed and approved by the City Council for the closure of
alleys within the vicinity of the site. In fact,as evidenced by review of the Zoning history,this request mimics a Street
Closure application that was approved by the City Council on the adjacent parcel to the west on June 14, 2000. The
proposed Street Closure is recommended for approval with the following conditions.

Street Closure
Adjacent too 617 S. Atlantic Avenue
District—Beach
July 10, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Ms. Rucinski: The next item on the consent agenda is item number four. And this is an application
for David W. Lee and Kimberly B. Lee, the applicant for Street Closure adjacent to
617 South Atlantic Avenue in the Beach District.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Ms. Rucinski, members of the Commission for the record Eddie
Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing the applicants, we appreciate this
application being on the consent agenda, I will mention all the conditions are
acceptable. The second condition talking about a drainage easement over the part
of the property be closed contradicts what's in the evaluation, I am not suggesting
removing it, but having done, you know, scores of these applications in Croatan.
What has been the case in the past is there has been a drainage easement over the
five feet. The last five feet, the rear five feet when you relocate the property line
seven and a half feet back. We've typically had a five-foot drainage easement but
not overall seven and a half feet unless there's actually a pipe in the ground which
I don't think in 90% of these cases they're already pipes in the ground. So if the
conditions are fine, I also want to get on the record that in all the ones we've done
in the past, it's not had a seven and a half foot drainage easement that I have any
knowledge of, usually it's a five-foot drainage easement and so just wants to put
that up.
Ms. Oliver: All right, thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? Okay,
hearing none, the chairman has asked Commissioner George Alcaraz to read this
into the record.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right,just to clear what Mr. Bourdon said, so do we add that there is going to
be five-foot drainage easement.
Mr. Tajan: I believe that based on the report during the viewers, meaning that there was not a
need for the drainage easement. So it could be if you wish to remove that the
requirement for it, Ms. Wilson I defer to you on the condition.
Ms. Wilson: I would keep it in, I don't know whether their private utilities of any kind or other
easements, so if we leave it in that I think we're safer.
1
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, because one of the comments I was going to state in my review was the
public works as indicated there are no assets with 375 square feet. So is that true
or not?
Ms. Wilson: Well, it could be the public utilities don't have in them, but there's a private
easement or there's a private drainage.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. All right, thank you, appreciate it. The property owner proposes to close a
portion of the platted,unnamed and unimproved alley that is adjacent to the rear lot
line. As shown on the submitted street closure exhibit, the applicant is requested
to close half of the 15-foot alley, totaling 375 square feet and incorporated into an
adjacent residential lot. City staff determined that the proposed closure will not
result in any public inconvenience, therefore closure of this portion of the right-
away was deemed acceptable and City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing
of undeveloped rights-of-way to join properties in the Croatan community,
therefore, we recommend consent. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: All right, thank you.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, agenda items one, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and D1 have
been approved by consent.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of John E. Alex and Jennifer K. Alex for the
Closure of One-half of an Unimproved Unnamed Alley Adjacent to the Rear of
536 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
John E. Alex and Jennifer K. Alex (the "Applicants") own property located 536
Vanderbilt Avenue (GPIN: 2426-39-4360), in the Croatan neighborhood. The
Applicants have requested the closure of approximately 375 sq. ft. of the platted,
unnamed, and unimproved alley adjacent to the rear of their property (the "Right-
of-Way") for the purpose of incorporating that area into their property.
• Considerations:
This street closure request is consistent with City Council's policy aimed at
disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan
community.
Other street closure requests similar to this request have been granted to property
owners within the same block. The Viewers determined that the closure of the
Right-of-Way, with conditions set forth below, will not result in a public
inconvenience. There was no opposition to the request.
It should be noted that the staff report inadvertently quoted the Department of
Public Works as indicating that there are no assets in the Right-of-Way; therefore,
there was no need for a public "drainage" easement. However, it was actually the
Department of Public Utilities that stated there were no assets in the Right-of-Way;
therefore, there was no need for a public "utility" easement. A drainage easement
is needed and will be required as a condition of the street closure.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to City
Council with the following conditions:
1 . The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.

2. The Applicants shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the Right-of-Way into the adjoining parcel. The resubdivision plat
must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval. Said plat must include the dedication of a public drainage easement
over the Right-of-Way to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of
the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney's office, which easement
shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicants shall verify that no private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way
proposed for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the
utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved
within one year of the City Council approval, said approval shall be considered
null and void.

Evaluation and Recommendation
A Viewers Meeting was held,that included City Staff from the departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning
and Community Development and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider this application. The Viewers determined
that the proposed closure will not result in a public inconvenience;therefore,closure of this portion of the right-of-way
is deemed acceptable. The Department of Public Works has indicated that there are no assets within the 375 square
foot area;therefore,there is no need for a drainage easement.
City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the
Croatan community. Many similar requests have been reviewed and approved by the City Council for the closure of
alleys within the vicinity of the site. In fact,as evidenced by review of the Zoning history,this request mimics a Street
Closure application that was approved by the City Council on the adjacent parcel to the east in March 23,2004. The
proposed Street Closure is recommended for approval with the following conditions.

3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way proposed for closure. If private

Street Closure
Adjacent to 536 Vanderbuilt Avenue
District- Beach
July 10, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Ms. Rucinski: All right. Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number D1.
And that's an application for John E. & Jennifer K. Alex, applicant for a street
closure, adjacent to 536 Vanderbilt Avenue in the Beach District. Sir can you come
forward and state your name for the record?
Mr. Irwin: My name is Matt Irwin. I am representing the applicants John E. and Jennifer K.
Alex, and attorney RJ Nutter who applied for the application, submitted the
application. In reference to Mr. Bourdon and the drainage easement as some of
y'all know, I'm a retired city planner here for 34 years; I did a number of these
applications myself reports. It has been inconsistent over the years concerning
these drainage easements in the closed portions of the alleys. It is my understanding
now that with sea level rise that type of thing that public works is adamant about
retaining a drainage easement over these areas. I just wanted to bring that up. This
is my understanding now because I had questioned it myself and spoke with several
people within the city and that's the answer I got and the conditions are acceptable.
Ms. Rucinski: They are acceptable. Okay, thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being
placed on the consent agenda? Okay, seeing none, the chairman has asked
Commissioner Mike Inman to review this for the record.
Mr. Inman: This property owner proposes to close a portion of the platted, unnamed and
unimproved alley that's adjacent to the rear lot line on this property,which is located
536 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan. The applicant is requesting a close half of the
15-foot wide alley, totaling 375 square feet and incorporate into the residential lot.
The viewers who are included members of city staff have viewed the property to
consider the appropriate as of the closure and decided that it would not result in any
public inconvenience. And therefore,the closure of this portion of the right-of-way
is deemed acceptable. The Department of Public Works has indicated there are no
assets within the 375 square feet. So therefore there is no need for drainage
easement. City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped rights-
of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. Consequently,we
put this on the consent agenda.
Ms. Rucinski: All right, thank you, Madam Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I
would like to move to that the approval of consent agenda items number one, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine and D1 be approved.
1
Mr. Redmond:Madam Chair, I would like to state for the record that while I'm going to support
this package of consents, I'm specifically abstaining on agenda item number eight.
I don't benefit in any way from it, but I assisted the applicant in some way. So I
should keep out of it.
Mr. Horsley: I second.
Ms. Garrido: Vote is open.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, agenda items one, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and D1 have
been approved by consent.

Item#D1
John E and Jennifer K Alex
Street Closure
Adjacent to 536 Vanderbuilt Avenue
District- Beach
July 10, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- CONSENT
Ms. Rucinski: All right. Thank you. The next item on the consent agenda is item number D1.
And that's an application for John E. & Jennifer K. Alex, applicant for a street
closure, adjacent to 536 Vanderbilt Avenue in the Beach District. Sir can you come
forward and state your name for the record?
Mr. Irwin: My name is Matt Irwin. I am representing the applicants John E. and Jennifer K.
Alex, and attorney RJ Nutter who applied for the application, submitted the
application. In reference to Mr. Bourdon and the drainage easement as some of
y'all know, I'm a retired city planner here for 34 years; I did a number of these
applications myself reports. It has been inconsistent over the years concerning
these drainage easements in the closed portions of the alleys. It is my understanding
now that with sea level rise that type of thing that public works is adamant about
retaining a drainage easement over these areas. I just wanted to bring that up. This
is my understanding now because I had questioned it myself and spoke with several
people within the city and that's the answer I got and the conditions are acceptable.
Ms. Rucinski: They are acceptable. Okay, thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being
placed on the consent agenda? Okay, seeing none, the chairman has asked
Commissioner Mike Inman to review this for the record.
Mr. Inman: This property owner proposes to close a portion of the platted, unnamed and
unimproved alley that's adjacent to the rear lot line on this property,which is located
536 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan. The applicant is requesting a close half of the
15-foot wide alley, totaling 375 square feet and incorporate into the residential lot.
The viewers who are included members of city staff have viewed the property to
consider the appropriate as of the closure and decided that it would not result in any
public inconvenience. And therefore,the closure of this portion of the right-of-way
is deemed acceptable. The Department of Public Works has indicated there are no
assets within the 375 square feet. So therefore there is no need for drainage
easement. City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped rights-
of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. Consequently,we
put this on the consent agenda.
Ms. Rucinski: All right, thank you, Madam Chair that was the last item on the consent agenda. I
would like to move to that the approval of consent agenda items number one, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine and D 1 be approved.
1
Mr. Redmond:Madam Chair, I would like to state for the record that while I'm going to support
this package of consents, I'm specifically abstaining on agenda item number eight.
I don't benefit in any way from it, but I assisted the applicant in some way. So I
should keep out of it.
Mr. Horsley: I second.
Ms. Garrido: Vote is open.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, agenda items one, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and D1 have
been approved by consent.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO ADD SECTION 223.02 AND AMEND SECTION 501 OF
THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO ASSEMBLY USES IN
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
The Zoning Ordinance typically requires properties where events such as
weddings, reunions, retirement celebrations, fundraisers, etc. are routinely held
require a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use. Assembly Uses are not
currently permitted within the residentially zoned districts. Over time, several
property owners of residentially-zoned parcels have inquired about seeking
permission to hold events on their land only to learn that it is not permitted. As a
result, this amendment recommends that Assembly Uses be a conditional use on
lots over three acres in size in the R-30 and R-40 Residential Districts. The use
would still be prohibited in all other residential zoning districts. An additional
requirement is that the property have a building that is either on a National, State
or Local historic register.
• Considerations:
Included in the ordinance amendment are nine requirements in order for a
residentially-zoned property to be considered for a Conditional Use Permit for an
Assembly Use. These requirements are listed below and are included in the
attached ordinance. Generally, the requirements limit assembly use to lots of at
least three acres with a single owner, with conditions that address the location of
activities and parking, and limit the hours and days of operation. The three acre
requirement aligns with the minimum lot size required for agricultural properties to
be eligible to request a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use. The
amendment also supports the City's desire to support the preservation of historic
properties, albeit only an honorary rather than a regulatory designation.
Discussion amongst the Planning Commission resulted in a modification to the
permitted late hour of operation from a 9:00 p.m. stop time as proposed in the
ordinance to now a stop time of 10:00 p.m.This change is indicated by the stricken
and underlined text, and it should be noted that the time can change as conditioned
by a Conditional Use Permit. With the requirements listed below, Staff determined
that there are few residentially-zoned properties that would qualify for
consideration for a Conditional Use Permit. Additionally, the proposed
requirements are deemed reasonable by Staff, and the Planning Commission
Assembly Uses in Residential Zoning Districts

concurred, in order to mitigate factors that may negatively impact nearby
properties.
1 . The property or properties shall be listed either on either the National, State, or
Virginia Beach Historic Register;
2. One owner shall own all parcels being used for the assembly use, except for
off-site parking;
3. The site area shall be a minimum of three (3) acres outside of water, marsh, or
wetlands;
4. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the required parking shall be able to be
provided on-site;
5. Outdoor assembly areas and parking shall be a minimum of fifty (50) feet from
any property line shared with another residentially zoned property;
6. All outdoor assembly use must cease by 9:00 pm 10:00 pm unless otherwise
limited or approved through the conditional use permit;
7. All unimproved areas used for parking shall be stabilized within seven (7) days
after the conclusion of an event;
8. Any localized flooding that arises from the outdoor assembly and/or
unimproved parking areas shall be corrected at the owner/operator's expense;
and
9. Assembly uses shall only be held on the property on Fridays, Saturdays,
Sundays, or Nationally recognized holidays.

City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to recommend approval of this request.

Assembly Use in Residential Zoning
NBCity
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to add Section 223.02 and amend Section 501 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to assembly uses in
residential zoning districts.
Summary of Request
This ordinance is in response to an inquiry from a citizen and moved forward with the consent from the Planning
Commission at their May meeting. This ordinance would make assembly use a conditional use in the R-30 and R-40
residential zoning districts. The use would still be prohibited in all other residential zoning districts.
Included in the ordinance are nine requirements, in addition to being zoned R-30 or R-40,that a property must adhere
to in order to operate an assembly use.The nine conditions are listed below:
1. The property or properties shall be listed either on the National, State, or Virginia Beach Historic Register;
2. One owner shall own all parcels being used for the assembly use, except for off-site parking;
3. The site area shall be a minimum of three (3) acres outside of water, marsh, or wetlands;
4. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the required parking shall be able to be provided on-site;
5. Outdoor assembly areas and parking shall be a minimum of fifty (50) feet from any property line shared with
another residentially zoned property;
6. All outdoor assembly use must cease by 9:00 pm unless otherwise limited or approved through the conditional
use permit;
7. All unimproved areas used for parking shall be stabilized within seven (7) days after the conclusion of an event;
8. Any localized flooding that arises from the outdoor assembly and/or unimproved parking areas shall be
corrected at the owner/operator's expense; and
9. Outdoor assembly uses shall only be held on the property on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or national holidays.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this ordinance. With the requirements listed above, there are few properties that would
be able to have an assembly use on a residentially zoned property. Additionally, the requirements will mitigate factors
that may negatively impact other properties in the vicinity. Staff is also supportive of any opportunity to add a property
on to the Virginia Beach Historic Registry, which this ordinance requires for the assembly use.

Item #11
City of Virginia Beach
Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to Assembly Use in Residential Zoning Districts
July 10,2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Mr. Fisher: Our next order of business is item number 11. This is a City of Virginia Beach an
ordinance to add section 223.02 and amend section 501 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to assembly uses in residential zoning districts.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Kemp: Commissioner Oliver, for the record Kevin Kemp zoning administrator for Virginia
Beach. This proposed amendment is to allow assembly uses in certain residential
zoning districts, it was brought forward, the idea was by an applicant Planning
Commission was briefed in May and decided gave staff direction to move forward,
staff looked at this and said,you know there are certain residential properties where
this is a viable and compatible use. We did list nine restrictions on it. The big ones
are that the minimum site area be three acres. We mentioned in the amendment
that is restricted to the R30 and R40 districts which minimum lot sizes are smaller
than three acres. But we feel that three acres is an adequate size where this kind of
assembly use where you're having weddings and parties on a consistent basis
wouldn't negatively impact the adjacent properties. And another big limiting factor
is that the property must be or the structure on the property must be listed on the
national state or Virginia Beach historic registry. So, you know, this is where the
staff was looking for the win-win,because, you know,this would provide allowing
assemblies and residential,would provide a revenue stream for the property owners
to keep the house in good shape,to keep the property,you know,and maintain these
historic properties, which, you know, let's face it, you know, at certain point, they
get more expensive to renovate than to just tear down and redevelop. So by getting
on that registry, providing that revenue encourages the use and continued use of
these historic properties,just to go through real quickly, the other conditions, the
owners, if they're using more than one parcel, they must own all the parcels, you
know, two or three neighbors can't combine to one application. I mentioned site
area three acres, a minimum of 50% of the parking must be able to be held on site.
And that language be able is because off street parking particularly in residential
areas, is an encouraged method to handle events, if you can, you know shuttle
people in that will minimize the vehicular traffic through neighborhoods. The
outdoor assemble use must end by 9 pm. Now,that is the event ending by nine that
does not include the cleanup and, you know, removal of all the materials and that
sort of thing. Unapproved areas for parking must be stabilized within seven days
of event and flooding, any flooding caused by this use must be corrected at the
owner's expense. And that's really; it's also other places in our city code, but you
know,if this event and the traffic and the parking alters the site such that,you know,
it starts to flood the neighboring properties, this is an extra layer of protection that
the property owners are responsible to take corrective measures to secure the other
1
properties. And lastly, let the outdoor assembly uses are limited to Friday,
Saturday, Sundays and national holidays. The keyword here is outdoor. This
limitation is for outdoor only, there is no limitation proposed for events that are
within the structure. That stuff you know, of course, recommended approval, and
I'll stand by for any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Anybody have any questions for Mr. Kemp? Yes, Ron.
Mr. Ripley: We had a lot of discussion about this in the informal session. And a couple of
things I think get out on the record, if you don't mind. Can you explain or explain
why you selected the R30 and R40 Zoning Districts and no others?
Mr. Kemp: We selected that as our director stated in the informal, we started with a smaller,
you know, group of properties. Now the R30 and R40 they're typically larger lots,
you know, minimum 30,000 square feet for the R30 and 40,000 for the R40. We
started small, you know, with just those districts rather than open it up to all
districts. We also consider it as Ms. Wilson said that in the denser the smaller lots,
the R5 and R10, you know, the amount of properties around that may be impacted
are greater and it's also, you know, with the historic requirement and the size
requirement of three acres, you know, it is a relatively speaking, I mean with a
number of properties in Virginia Beach, it's a relatively small number that would
be eligible for this.
Mr. Ripley: You didn't provide us a list of those properties, but choose the total approximate
number you think this might that certain properties might qualify for the use of this
zoning provision, how many do you think,based on what you have here,this could
possibly qualify for?
Mr. Kemp: Well, the study and I apologize that I don't have that that's lost in my office in
Building 2 at the moment, but what I did is I went through a list of houses that are
on the historic, Virginia Beach Historic Register. And I looked at those and said,
how many are above, you know,three acres? How many are in the R30 R40 and it
was between five and eight homes properties. Now, there were other properties,
you know, zoned R20 or R10 and off the top of my head, I don't know if the size
requirement for those was met, I believe the thorough good house might be zoned
lower than R30. I'm not sure, but it was a small. Now there was Marguerite, I
believe briefed you some time ago,there was a study done citywide on the historical
nature of Virginia Beach, and they have recommendations, you know, for each
neighborhood of which houses,you know,are recommended to be on this list. And
you know, so that number five to eight is just the ones we have on the registry just
to get an idea. There may be, you know, many more structures out there like Mr.
Barnes own that even though he's agricultural, that could meet that criteria.
Mr. Ripley: And for the record,we discussed the possibility of looking at the R20 and we talked
about that, or as an example, the point being fair to other people that this might
qualify for, it's not fair to include a myth, if it's appropriately located property that
beats these criteria and as I understand it, you're going to study that and bring that
back to the commission in September?
2
Mr. Tajan: Yes, Mr. Ripley, give us some time to pull the research together, will provide that
additional analysis at your direction and at the September informal meeting.
Mr. Ripley: Thank you. Thank you.
Mr. Kemp: Thank you Mr. Ripley.
Ms. Oliver: Any other questions for Mr. Kemp? Yes.
Mr. Redmond:I also would like to just put a couple of points on the record here, because I think
they're worth keeping on there. I am not comfortable; I'm not going to oppose this
ordinance. Nonetheless, I tend to be uncomfortable with is 9 pm restriction, as I
said, you know, if you're having a wedding, your happiest day of your life, nobody
wants to get told, turn off the music get out. It's 9 pm and I just think that's kind of
too tough on people. So I have a feeling that's probably meaningless, because
nobody's going to go and pull the plug on folks who were you know, who were
dancing at a wedding reception,unless I think we ought to be more sensitive about
that. And I agree very frankly, with Ron, I don't think there's three acres is three
acres, as we suggested. And I think this is perhaps needlessly restrictive in terms
of those two,those two zoning designations, and agree that we ought to look at that
and precisely because I think we have to treat everyone fairly, I think that's what
our principal responsibility is here is to treat everyone fairly, whether you're the,
you know, the biggest brownies developer, the littlest of a little guy ought to get a
fair shake. And we ought not enfranchise some property owners with a revenue
producing activity and tell other ones whose properties are substantially similar, if
not entirely similar. You can't, this is still a conditional use permit process, you
still have to get your use permit. So if you have three acres or more, and you're in
R20, the placement of where you're going to have this activity is still going to be
the subject of a great deal of scrutiny. So all of the parking requirements,the noise
requirements, the all of that is still going to be very carefully considered so. But I
think more than just folks in R30 or R40, ought to be able to avail themselves of
the opportunity to make that case that they get their conditional use permit. So
again, I'm not going to stand in the way of it, but I made a point this morning, I'll
make it again, I think we need to really be sensitive to that and when someone
comes up again, and has this, that we need to revisit this ordinance and not just
blow them off, because I've seen that before too. So anyway, I've said my piece
and don't take more time. Thank you. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else have any comments? Yes Don.
Mr. Horsley: I've kind of echo that I guess I stirred the pot when I mentioned this 30 and 40
informal session this morning. If I need to apologize for it, I'm not. But anyway,
and I kind of agree with Mr. Redmond on the 9 pm, you know, I've been involved
in some outside weddings a few times and, you know, 10 o'clock is really a better
time and I would love to see that 9 change to 10 pm is what I would love to see.
And with the planning director sitting on studied this thing about seeing if some
R20 properties may be possible to put in this and we can amend this thing later on,
in the not too distant future if the request comes for us. So really, I think we could
3
change that 9 to 10. And I'd be happy to approve this as it is today. And then we
move forward and wait for September report. Do you have a problem with the 10?
Mr. Kemp: No, staff would not have an issue if that is what the commission wishes to do.
Ms. Oliver: So I've got along with the 10.
Mr. Inman: I prefer none, but 10 is better than 9 in my view.
Ms. Oliver: So all right, Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Well, I'll just point out it, condition number six says unless varied in the use permit.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, there you go.
Mr. Inman: And consider the circumstances and I'll go along with the 10 pm, but it could be
varied either way.
Mr. Tajan: That was the intent. But we understand that if the commission's direction is to
change that to 10 pm, we can make that and this is a text amendment, initiated by
the Commission, we can change that. Absolutely and the time set, that's the
standard, the general in which everything is.
Mr. Horsley: And that's the point I'm getting at, I mean, it gives the participants a little bit more
latitude if you move this to 10 where was it say, well, we got to stop at 9 and use
permit when you get to use permit, you can you know, they say we don't want to
use 9, we want to use 10 or whatever, you know, anyway, that's just my thinking. I
think it would be simpler and less problems if you moved it to 10.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. All right. Is that everybody, okay, yes sir.
Mr. Redmond:I would ask Mr. Horsley if he wants to make a motion.
Mr. Horsley: So moved.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Mr. Tajan: Noting that the motions will include the alteration to condition number,requirement
number six the ordinance to change it to 10 pm unless it changes through the
conditional use permit process.
Ms. Oliver: All right.
Ms. Garrido: Vote is open.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, item number 11 has been approved.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: DRAYBUN SAJO, LLC [Applicant& Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Assembly Use) for the property located at 5592 Sajo Farm Road (GPIN
1469209187). COUNCIL DISTRICT — KEMPSVILLE.
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow for an Assembly Use on
the Sajo Manor Guest House property, located within the R-40 Residential District.
Both indoor and outdoor events are proposed to be held on the 8.10-acre site to
accommodate up to a maximum of 150 attendees per event. Access to the site is
via a gravel driveway (Sajo Farm Road) from Shell Road. The applicant proposes
to shuttle attendees from a nearby church parking lot to the site when the number
of vehicles per event exceeds 30. Indoor events will not be limited to the hours of
operation or the number of events held per year, while outdoor events will be
limited to no more than 40 per year and only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or
national holidays. The applicant has indicated their intent to pursue registration on
the Virginia Beach Historic Register.
• Considerations:
In Staff's opinion and with the concurrence of the Planning Commission, the
proposal will offer a unique opportunity for Virginia Beach residents and their
guests to experience this historic property. The request is deemed acceptable in
part due to the large size of the heavily wooded property and the substantial
distance to the nearest residence. This reasoning is coupled with the 24
recommended conditions that are designed to address potential concerns.
In terms of lighting, it is important to note that besides the applicant's residence,
the nearest dwelling is approximately 580 feet from the proposed venue area. This
distance, particularly on a wooded lot, reduces the potential for light spillover.
Condition 17 prohibits any activity, including lights for parking areas, etc., from
being within 150 feet of any property line. Furthermore, Condition 19 requires all
lighting be shielded and contained on the property.
To mitigate for noise impact, the applicant proposes to cease all music (provided
by a DJ or live acoustical music) by 9:00 p.m. (Condition 15), and to limit the
number of outdoor events to no more than 40 per year (Condition 7).

Regarding the need for a traffic signal at the intersection of Sajo Farm Road and
Shell Road, the City Traffic Engineer finds that a traffic signal would not be
warranted at the intersection, particularly considering recommended Condition 8
that states "No more than thirty(30) vehicles shall be parked on the site at any one
time." This number would apply to not only guests' vehicles, but also those of the
event hosts, entertainers, and catering staff. In addition, Shell Road is a minor
collector roadway with limited volumes that will not support a traffic signal. Further
details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the
attached Staff Report.
Staff received six letters of opposition and 14 letters of support, as well as a petition
of support with 63 signatures, all of which were provided to the Planning
Commission prior to the public hearing and are also attached below. At the public
hearing on July 10th, there was one speaker in support and six speakers in
opposition, who voiced concerns related to compatibility and quality of life issues.
The opposition noted the potential negative impact of increased noise and traffic,
the possibility of a decrease in property values, and concern regarding emergency
vehicle access. A graphic depicting the location of those property owners in
support and opposition is attached. Based on input from property owners at the
hearing, the Planning Commission modified Conditions 13 and 15 regarding
outdoor events and music, as well as added Condition 24, which will require the
applicant to pave a portion of the gravel driveway that connects to Sajo Farm Road
to reduce the noise associated with traffic. These changes are identified below with
striked out and underlined text.
■ Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of the application. The Planning Commission
passed a motion to recommend approval by a vote of 9-0.

adjacent parcel containing the Sajo Farm Manor House.
2. This Conditional Use Permit shall not be valid unless the subject property is

Evaluation and Recommendation
The subject property is unique in its size, location, and historical significance. A majority of the land encompassed by the
original Sajo Farm has been developed as single-family residential. Fortunately, this large parcel has not been developed
in a similar manner,even though the current R-40 zoning would have have permitted further subdivision of the farm.The
8.10-acre Guest House property has ample room to accommodate both indoor and outdoor events. The site is accessed
via Shell Road, via a long and narrow gravel drive. Besides the applicant, only one additional residence shares this
ingress/egress from the right-of-way. To minimize traffic impacts to the neighboring properties, the applicant proposes
to limit the on-site parking to no more than 30 vehicles. For events with more than 30 vehicles,all vehicles,except catering
vehicles,will be parked at a nearby church (Unity Church of Tidewater) and attendees will be shuttled to the venue. Prior
to each event, the applicant will coordinate with the church to ensure adequate parking are available for both the
assembly use and the church services.
The property is heavily wooded such that the proposed activities will not be visible to the adjacent residential properties.
The nearest residential dwelling measured from the Guest House structure is the applicant's residence (approximately
460 feet away) and the residence that shares the access driveway (approximately 580 feet away). To minimize noise
impact to the neighboring properties,amplified music will be prohibited at events and all events will be concluded by 9:00
pm. Food for the events will either be catered or be provided by no more than two food trucks.Any food trucks,tents, or
structures brought to the site for an event will be removed following the completion of the event, which will be n o later
than 10:00 pm. Furthermore, the use of generators will not be permitted for any event, in order to minimize noise that
would otherwise arise from a generator.
The applicant agrees to limit the number of outdoor events to no more than 40 per year with a maximum of 150 attendees
per event. In addition, no more than one event will be held in a single day. While the number of indoor events is not
limited,the number of attendees is limited to no more than 60 per event.
Factoring in the nine requirements set forth in the proposed ordinance that will allow assembly uses in certain residential
districts, as well as the conditions recommended by Staff and agreed to by the applicant that are described above and
noted below,it is Staffs opinion that this site is appropriate for this specific assembly use. The property will offer a unique
opportunity for Virginia Beach residents and their guests to experience this unique historic property. Therefore, Staff
recommends the proposal be approved with the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
The following conditions are recommended by the Planning Commision at the July 10, 2019 Public Meeting.
1. This Conditional Use Permit is only valid when in common ownership with the adjacent parcel containing the Sajo
Farm Manor House.
2. This Conditional Use Permit shall not be valid unless the subject property is listed on the Federal, State, or Virginia

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being in the Suburban Area. Characteristics of the Suburban Area include
predominantly low-density residential subdivisions; large tracts of land devoted to single-family dwelling units; low-
intensity retail shopping centers, office complexes and employment centers that depend heavily on the use of the
automobile;transportation systems designed for the automobile; and various sized tracts of parkland or open space with
trail systems.
Key planning principles for the Suburban Area that apply to this request include preserving neighborhood quality. This is
achieved by maintaining compatibility with surroundings;quality of site and buildings;attractiveness of site and buildings;

single-family home,and a majority of the site is wooden undeveloped land.The site is located within the Chesapeake Bay
Watershed, Resource Management Area.There is no further development proposed with this application;therefore, it is
not anticipated that there will be any impact on the natural environment.

in Norfolk. The almost 14,000 square foot Manor House was originally part of a 300-acre farm, a majority of which has
been developed.The 3,472 square foot Guest House,which is the subject of this application, is located on 8.10 acres and
was built in 1955.

Subject: Sajo Farm C.U.P. ...A short note from Bill Gambrell
Carolyn,
I apologize for the late note; the tragic events of the past few weeks have not been our friend (or anyone's) in being able
to communicate and share things.
Can you please alert the Planning Commission of the Historic Preservation Commissions support for the use of the guest
house at Sajo Farm to be used as a wedding rehearsal venue.
In general terms we support the adaptive re-use of historic structures that would assist with the preservation of
important buildings and places like the Sajo Farm House property within our city.
As you know.... our history is being threatened at every turn. Finding different and unique ways to help pay the cost of
maintenance, taxes and preservation of historic properties is very important.
Preservation of the entire Sajo Farm property is unique and valuable to our entire community.
The land area that surrounds the Sajo Farmhouse should not be impactfuf to neighbors (considering the total area
surrounding the property, including the guest house ), especially compared to the impact of the redevelopment of the
Bunch's property with traditional residential uses that have been developed over the past few years.
This property is so unique ! It could never be replicated. Several years ago the Historic Preservation Commission was
granted the opportunity to showcase the original Sajo Farm House building for our Historic Holiday Home Tour.
It was our most successful tour(over several years) ;the preservation of this unique property cannot be understated. It
is a hidden gem.
From time to time, when historic properties are considered for adaptive reuse, myself (as the present chairman of the
commission) or future Preservation Commission Boards,
would like to be alerted so that we can provide comments and support when appropriate.
Thanks in advance for sharing our support for this request with the Planning Commission.
Sincerely,
t3 Wi GaNwtrre,LL

1200 Topiary Place
Virginia Beach, VA 23455
RE: Letter to the Virginia Beach Planning Commission
To Whom It May Concern;
This letter is sent in regard to the permit requested for an event venue at a property owned by
Ray and Derinda Bunch on Sajo Farm Road, Virginia Beach
As owners of 1200 Topiary Place, Sajo Farm, Virginia Beach since April 2013, we hereby submit
our opinion on the use of the property as an event venue.
Our attached home in Lakeside Cove of Sajo Farm is on the side of the neighborhood in close
proximity to the property for which permit is requested. The distance is more than adequate to
not present a disturbance. We are separated by water and trees as well as the peninsula on
which the Bunch residence is located.
In our years living here we have come to learn more about their residence, the unique Sajo
Farm mansion house, and all its history. We also learned that had it not been for the Bunch
family who purchased the property 23 years ago and fully restored it to beyond its former glory,
the property might never have been salvaged, its value to the city lost, its historical significance
gone forever. Most residents of Sajo Farm recognize this treasure we have next door and
appreciate not only the value it adds to the city but also to our neighborhood and to our
individual property values.
The Bunch's more recent purchase of the second property on Sajo Farm Road ensures that the
remainder of the original Sajo Farm estate remains intact, thereby further preserving its
historical significance.
We have also come to know the Bunch family and their commitment to excellence in all they
endeavor to do. Their personal investment of time, energy and resources into both their
residence and the second property, as well as their impeccable maintenance of both, further
insures us that they would not jeopardize this investment by misuse of either property. They
have thoroughly researched their concept and planned for all the details. They have set precise
and reasonable guidelines which are all acceptable to us. The fact that they are the immediate
neighbors to the property in question should not be minimized. The Bunch family never disturb
their neighbors because they themselves would not want to be disturbed. They are respectful
neighbors. And we respect them and their intention to leave an additional legacy of excellence
to Sajo Farm.

RE: Conditional Use Permit (Assembly use)
Draybun Sajo, LLC 5592 Sajo Farm Road
Dear Planning Commission,
We live in Sajo Farms subdivision across the finger of the lake where Ray and Derinda
Bunch live. While there is a small group of residents who are making false accusations
about the Conditional Use permit for 5592 Sajo Farm Road, I want to assure you that
they are a small group. Most of us are in agreement and do not feel this venue would
affect us in any negative way. It is their eight acres, with the building on the far finger
of the lake from our subdivision, they should be able to do with that property whatever
they prefer. This site, in question, is a beautiful site for any venue, keeping history alive
and displaying the richness of this huge tract of land are all positives. Also, this venue
would preserve this acreage from future development.
The traffic would in no way affect our neighborhood, as people would not be traveling
thru our streets to get to the Sajo Farm private drive way. They have made
arrangements for over flow parking at the church on Shell Road, which is even further
away from our homes. People bought property here in Sajo Farms Subdivision right
behind a commercial shopping center, with Susan's Kitchen, Subway, and other
businesses, they should expect to hear some noise. But the noises we do hear are
from the base and from traffic on Northampton. Furthermore we have our own Club
House for events such as what the Conditional Use Permit would allow, none of the
residents have complained about noise or traffic when our Club House is being used for
events. We see no difference in the use of these two buildings. If you have any
questions, please contact us.

Dear Virginia Beach Planning Committee,
I am writing in support of the Conditional Use Permit requested by
Derinda and Ray Bunch for an Assembly Us/Wedding Venue at the
Guest House at Sajo Farm. I completely support Mr. and Mrs. Bunch in
their endeavor to host weddings, receptions and similar celebrations to
help offset Sajo Farm costs. They have created a way to maintain the
property for the foreseeable future. It is a beautifully renovated Guest
House on 8 acres of woods and landscaped grounds. The Bunch's are
delightful neighbors to the Sajo Farm community. They are invited to all
our community gatherings and attend as often as they can. They have
family members who live in our neighborhood and have every reason to
maintain good relations and preserve both their property and our
neighborhood.
As stated previously, I fully support the Conditional Use Permit requested
by Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bunch. If you would like to reach me, my address is
above. My cell phone number and email are below. Thank you for
serving our community and city! #VBStrong
Respectfully,

Dear Virginia Beach Planning Committee,
I am writing in support of the Conditional Use Permit requested by Derinda and Ray Bunch for
an assembly use/wedding venue at their Guest House in Salo Farm.I have had the opportunity
to walk the property and see their vision for this venue and whole-heartedly support them in
this endeavor. Any effort to utilize and support the property at Sajo Farm,I find, in the best
interest of the entire community. This spectacular,manicured,beautiful and private venue will
bring joy to so many families in our immediate area and bring attention to the entire Sajo Farm
development.
The Bunch's have always been so supportive of the Sajo Farm development and I think it only
reasonable to reciprocate and support them as they continue to find new and exciting ways to
preserve and protect their property,create meaningful and practical uses for it and positively
contribute to the city of Virginia Beach. Sajo Farm is a landmark and they have done an
exceptional job maintaining it. Providing a public venue in this incredible setting is an unselfish
act that will delight many for years to come.
I support Mr.and Mrs.Ray Bunch's request for the Conditional Use Permit and hope that each
of you will see the benefit of approving it. Thank you for your continued service that keeps
Virginia Beach strong!
Respectfully Submitted,

To The Virginia Beach Planning Commission,
We are writing in support of Ray and Derinda Bunch's permit request to use the Sajo
Farm Guest House as a wedding and upscale event venue. We love all of the renovations
they have done to bring this beautiful piece of history back to life. Their extreme care and
attention to detail is impressive and deserves to be shown off as a piece of Virginia Beach
history.
We would love if this purpose be approved as it would preserve as much as possible of the
original farm. They are wonderful neighbors and members of the community and have
vested personal interest in preserving this home and property in meticulous condition. Mr.
and Mrs. Bunch have thought through all possible concerns of the community and have
gone out of their way to address any and all concerns brought to their attention.
We send our full support to their future endeavors.
Sincere ours,

Re: Sajo Farm Manor House Zoning Request
Good Evening,
We are writing this letter for your consideration to deny the request for a zoning change to allow the
Sajo Farm Manor House to become an event venue. We have been residents of the Sajo Farm
Community for over four years and are strongly against this zoning change.
We believe that the close proximity of this venue will cause hardship to the residents whom
immediately adjoin the area where the events will be hosted. We invite you to view the intended
location and the close proximity of the nearby homes. It will be clear to you that noise at any decibel
would directly infringe on the daily lives of the immediate residents.
As for the Sajo Farm Community,this venue offers nothing but potential problematic issues resulting
from events held at the venue. We believe these problems to include:
• Noise
• Traffic issues to include parking on our community streets due to the Manor House having a
gate that allows entry in Sajo Farms
• Potential crime increase/drunk disorderly persons/fights/domestic related events, etc.
• Increased Litter
• Loss of property values
The approval of this zoning change positively affects only the applicant who stands to financially benefit
at the expense of our community. We believe any financial benefit to Virginia Beach will be mitigated
due to an increase in calls for police services and reduced taxation due to lower property values.
We respectfully request that you stand with our community and vote to deny this application.
Sincerely,
Nancy and Chuck Petty

Subject: Opposed to Rezoning Sajo GPIN1469209187
Date: Thursday,May 23,2019 12:33:12 PM
Dear Planning Committee Members,
I am writing in opposition to the proposed rezoning of the Sajo Manor House to allow it to hold receptions
(weddings,bands,large crowds,etc).
I am a resident of Sajo Farm subdivision since it started(2008). We live in a beautiful,quiet,manicured community
with noise rules. Our residents are very quiet and respectful. Particularly in the afternoons and evenings,our
neighbors walk,bike,run through the neighborhood and enjoy the peaceful environment.
The people living in the Sajo Farm Manor House have assumed themselves as residents of Sajo Farm since their
land was sold to the developers. They are not residents of Sajo Farm. They are fairly obnoxious(rude,yelling at
residents of Sajo,driving around Sajo in their vehicles,walking the neighbor drinking wine,showing up uninvited at
neighborhood functions,placing their trash cans weekly on one of our streets,etc.)neighbors and now they want to
infringe even more on the Sajo Farm Residents. We just cannot tolerate any further invasion by these people.
I am opposed to allowing the owners/residents of Sajo Farm Manor house to rezone their property to hold events in
the building that is actually directly behind Sajo Farm Homes because:
1. The noise level will negatively affect the development and immediate neighbors(within 100 ft)behind the
banquet location.People,cars,bands,live music,etc.(See attached map)
2. Excessive noise from traffic and cars.
3. Unanticipated crime from events carrying over to the community.
4. Parking from event attendees on Sajo Farm streets(overflow parking or people parking in the neighborhood to
be closer to the event location.
5. Loud noise from drunk people,fights,etc.that occur at live receptions.
6. Drop in property values from this venue negatively influencing Sajo Farm subdivision.
Please DO NOT allow the rezoning of the Sajo Farm Manor House and Property. Please help us keep Sajo Farm
neighborhood quiet and respectful!
Thank you all very much!!

Attachments: DravbunSaio.LLC Conditional Use Permt FinaLodf
Importance: High
Dear Planning Commission,
Please find,open and print the provided attachment regarding the Draybun Sajo LLC Conditional
Use Permit that is due to be reviewed by your commission members on July 10, 2019 at Noon.
In our report you will find our reasons for denying the application, as a 5 year home owner at 1366
Front St.,Virginia Beach,Va. 23455.
There are several issues in this proposal that will make our home not the"home"that we purchased
in May of 2015.
We site,with support documents,that the noise element from delivery trucks,transportation vans,
cars,and amplified deejays will change our home environment from one of peace and relative
tranquility,into a noisy, disturbing one for 3 days for per scheduled event,which equals 120 days of
disturbance a year.
(Note that support vehicles for tents,equipment,caterers,etc. will not leave the premises until 10
PM each evening.)
Basically, we will have a profit generating enterprise in a residential community, which will degrade
our property values, disturb our sleep(as our master bedroom is only 55 feet from the single lane
gravel entrance road)and over all quality of life in Sajo Farm.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Draybun Sajo, LLC
Conditional Use Permit (Assembly Use)
5592 Sajo Farm Road
(GPIN 1469209187)
Council District- Kempsville
Dear Planning Commission Members,
As residents of Sajo Farm, whose master bedroom, sunroom, kitchen & living room is just
55-60 ft. from the single lane gravel access road to the 5592 Sajo Farm Rd., we strongly
protest any increased traffic, outdoor amplification for DJ's or any other disturbance that
changes the environmental peaceful character, in any manner during any 24 hour period, from
the home we purchased in May of 2015. In addition, we suspect that our home values will not
increase but will go down and not be able to be sold quickly or easily if the application is
granted. (Please see photos at end of letter for a map of the area. A white arrow marks our
home.)
I. Increased Noise issues:
A. Note the location of the exterior areas where it is proposed for DJ's to perform, in the
rear, or in the front circle driveway area.
B. The driveway area is surrounded by trees which amplify sound by 15 times carrying it
away from the location. (See info from North Carolina State University re: Sound
Travel.)
C. The rear of the home to be used has a peninsula that juts into Lake Lawson. Here is
a two fold problem.
1. Trees magnify sound by 15 times.
2. Water is the fastest magnifier of sound, pushing sound across the lake to
another community, while bouncing off the shoreline trees on the
opposite side and sending the amplified sound to other areas outside of
Sajo Farm.
D. "Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases.
The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the
molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids
are not packed as tightly. And gases are very loosely packed. This enables
sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas.
Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This
is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound
waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster
on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is
cold. " (NC State University, Kenan Fellows Program, Debra Hall & Crystal

II. Additional Traffic Noise impacting daily living.
A. According to the attorney representing Draybun LLC, and to verbal answers from
Draybun LLC at the community meeting held at the Sajo Farm Clubhouse on Monday,
June 3, the following statements were made.
1. 60 people maximum for indoor events.
2. 150 people maximum for outdoor events.
3. One reception per time, per day.
4. 30 vehicles, including vendors would be allowed on property.
5. Additional parking would be at a nearby church.
6. A 12 passenger shuttle would be utilized to move attendees to and from the lot.
7. 40 Events per year would be the max number held.
8. Outdoor activities would conclude at 9 PM.
9. Vendors must vacate, breakdown, and move out by 10 PM.
10. Security would be provided by Draybun at the Shell Road Entrance.
B. 4 Homes, including our own, have their master bedrooms, kitchens, sunrooms,
living rooms located within 40-60 feet from the single lane gravel road.
C. Our backyards, where we relax, grill, etc., are now subject to an abundance of
sound just from the additional traffic alone, limiting our rightful use.
D. The residents all have varying sleeping hours, some of us are up at 4:30 AM which
means that we retire at night about 8-8:30 pm. Some residents are military with
varying sleeping schedules.
E. The occurrences of traffic noise is going to occur more that 40 days a year.
1. Setup by vendors with trucks for tents, chairs, etc. will set up the day
before and breakdown the day after. That alone mean that there is One trip in, one
trip out 3 times per vendor. So that now increases the days of excess noise of
vendors to 120 days per year.
2. 30 vehicles parked on the property, including the vendors on the day of the event
would create a minimum of 30 round trips, or 60 vehicles utilizing the gravel road
until 10 PM.
3. 150 people needing to park at the church parking lot and be shuttled to the and
from the venue, in the fewest of trips would mean 150 divided by 12 passengers
per van load would equal 12-13 trips in, and 12-13 trips out at the minimum. We
believe that not everyone will arrive at the debarkation area at once. That all van
shuttle trips will not be full. That not having full van shuttles is going to increase the
24-26 trips to more than 38 round trips, or 76 passes of the single lane gravel
road behind 40-60 feet from the backdoors of our homes.
F. No sound barrier
The backyards of our homes that align with Sajo Farm Rd. do not have a complete
sound wall of dense evergreen trees that would even come close to muffling the
sound and create adequate sound deflection from the traffic on the single lane
gravel road throughout the year.
To compound matters more, there is an inlet of Lake Lawson to the left of Sajo Farm
Road that is going to magnify the sound of the traffic, then bounce it back through
the trees that line each side.
III. Virginia Beach Code Interpretation
When reviewing the Virginia Beach City Code, several things need consideration.
1. It is our belief that this is a money making proposal for the Draybun Sajo LLC.
Sec.234. - Home occupations.
In districts where they are generally permitted, an occupation may be conducted in a dwelling
unit, provided that:
(a) Not more than twenty(20)percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and
accessory structures shall be used in the conduct of the activity. Provided,
however, this limitation shall not have application to family day-care homes.
(b) No traffic, including traffic by commercial delivery vehicles,shall be generated by
such activity in greater volumes than would normally be expected in the
neighborhood,and any need for parking generated by the conduct of such
activity shall be met off the street and other than in a required front yard.
(c) No sign shall be permitted. However, as an exception,the city council, upon a
finding that a sign would not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood,
may as a condition of the use permit allow up to one(1)sign, not to be
illuminated or to exceed one(1)square foot in area, mounted flat against the wall
of the residence.
(d) No use shall create noise,dust, vibration, smell, smoke,glare, electrical
interference, fire hazard, or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more
frequent extent than would normally be expected in the neighborhood under
normal circumstances wherein no home occupation exists.
(e) The following uses are specifically excluded: Convalescent or nursing homes,
tourist homes, massage parlors, radio or television repair shops, auto repair
shops, or similar establishments.
(Ord. No. 2111, 1 14-92; Ord. No. 3442,4-19-16)
2. Since this is a "home" business venture, it would appear to us that home business
regulations as stated in the city code would apply.\

IV. Home Values
There is no doubt that the homes on Front Street that back up to the Strip Mall on Diamond
Springs do not sell as fast, or at the best price because of the noise, smells and lack of privacy.
Here is a CMA on those homes, plus 1340 next door to us that was not able to sell, but has
become a rental.
https://reinmis.mismatrix.com/Matrix/Public/EmailCMA.aspx?ID=54491068
It is our understanding that the majority of events at the Guest House on Sajo Farm Rd will be
Wedding Receptions.
The majority of weddings happen on Friday, Saturdays which are also peak "Open House"
times for homes that are on the market For Sale.
No one is going to buy a nice home with a backyard that has a busy single lane gravel road
within 40-60 feet from the house which is in nearly constant use, especially on the weekends.

That will be a huge "turn-off" to potential buyers.
The very reason we purchased our home 1336 Front St. is that we have a quick exit out of the
community on Shell Road, and that we had a yard for entertaining and our dog which paid
handsomely to fence in.
At this point we can tolerate the minimum amount of noise that we endure from machines
moving gravel, tree trimming, to home owner cars traveling in and out of the Draybun Sajo LLC
area.
We will not be able to tolerate the amount of noise and traffic on the single lane gravel road
which will devalue our home.
We urge each member of the Planning Commission to VOTE NO on this proposed Conditional
Use Permit under Assembly Use of 5592 Sajo Farm Road, Virginia Beach, Va. 23455.
Thank you for taking our point of view into consideration.

Re: Opposition to Conditional Use Permit Application for 5592 Sajo Farm Road, Draybun Sajo
July 10 Public Hearing,Agenda Item 12
Dear Planning Commissioner,
My wife Karen and I, and we are quite certain others in the Sajo Farm community, request that you
recommend disapproval of the subject permit application. Allowing the desired commercial activities on
the subject property will almost undoubtedly negatively impact the enjoyment of our homes, and
ultimately result in decreasing property values in Sajo Farm.
We are very disappointed at the apparent lack of a thorough vetting conducted by the Planning staff and
subsequent recommendation for approval. Please review this letter to get a more accurate and robust
evaluation and identification of issues that need further vetting.
First, it appears necessary to point out irrelevant statements in the report.
The report indicates that staff received several letters of support from the Sajo Farm HOA
The Bunches have been excellent neighbors to Sajo Farm residents, making many friends in our
community. This explains why some Sajo Farm residents have expressed support for this application. I
believe those who have are likely not directly impacted like others, and are basing their"impact" beliefs
solely on what they are being told, and not any objective evaluation on how this could impact their
neighbors. Essentially they are just supporting their friends,that solicited those support letters (my
understanding from communications with neighbors). This can be the only explanation as there is no
manner in which this endeavor can benefit Sajo Farm or its residents. Those support letters,including
any from the HOA Board,should therefore carry no weight whatsoever. The HOA Board does not
speak for all of the residents of Sajo Farm, particularly those, as described later,that are actually directly
impacted.
(An important point of technicality on the issue of Sajo Farm residents versus those that are
actually impacted (those that should matter in these proceedings). Sajo Farm is a condominium
of some 350 homes—technically all homeowners are"adjacent property owners"therefore, but
only a portion of these actually live in homes in close proximity to the applicant's property.)
The report speaks extensively about the site's historical significance,and suggests the application be
approved in part to offer Virginia Beach residents an opportunity to experience the unique property.
This is an important legal permission, and the decision regarding its granting by the City must be based
solely on objective criteria consistent with the purposes of zoning:compatibility with adjacent and
nearby land uses and residents/property owners, as well as the surrounding environment and
infrastructure. That the property in question has great historical value, or that the Bunches have
poured their hearts and money into its revitalization,is completely irrelevant. The Bunches can
certainly be applauded for wishing to share this resource, but there are other ways that could be
accomplished with less impact to the adjacent homeowners.
The report does not correctly establish the proximity of residential dwellings.
As shown in attached Exhibit 1 (in red outline),there are approximately 35 homes with rear yards within
900 feet of the venue location, many under 600 feet, and several less than 400. 26 additional homes
with front porches (no rear yards)are shown in yellow outline. Further,there are four homes (area in
blue outline)with the gravel Sajo Farms Road driveway directly behind their buildings (about 25 feet
from their back yards). Lastly,there is a street in Sajo Farm that could easily funnel noise into the
central gathering area of our neighborhood (illustrated by orange line, and shown in Exhibit 2).
Noise Impacts
Oddly,there is no direct discussion of the impacts of noise from these events on the nearby Sajo Farm
residents. Yet, many of the recommendations clearly exist in an effort to come to what one can only
assume is some "acceptable level" of annoyance and disturbance to those residents/homeowners. At a
minimum all of these homes are likely to experience a decrease in the enjoyment of their homes due to
a variety of noises emanating from the venue site. One can assume that each event will have noise
impacts from beginning of set-up to end of break-down for several hours such as:
• the noise of vehicles, including trucks pulling trailers,traveling on a gravel road
• loading and unloading of materials
• assembly,setup and breakdown of tents,tables, chairs,etc. (including hammering stakes into
the ground) Notably, breakdown and removal can occur until 10:00 PM
• opening and closing of car doors
• loud talking and laughing of a crowd of people(wedding receptions are celebrations and known
to get quite boisterous)
• Announcements,toasts, etc. over a PA system
• Loud musical instruments (such as percussion, brass)
Each and every one of these owners bought with a high level of confidence that the adjacent Manor
property would be a "quiet neighbor"—seemed like a slam dunk if there ever was one. It's important to
point out that it is not only the volume of noise that can cause annoyance, and the "measuring stick"
here should not be the City's noise ordinance,which is quite lax. Some noises can be tuned out,others
blend. Noises such as the above do neither—they will be quite intrusive into the peaceful enjoyment of
a nearby back yard or patio, particularly for several hours up to 40 times per year.
There shouldn't be any attempt at determining an "acceptable level of annoyance". There is simply no
need to allow this annoyance at all, and the inevitable complaints that will follow. There is no need for
an "annual determination"as suggested in Recommended condition 23—it is a given that this shall
cause problems.
Natural Resources Impacts
There is nothing resembling a reasonable assessment of impacts to Lake Lawson,described as a "self-
contained lake",which is a misrepresentation. It is connected to Lake Smith,flows into the Chesapeake
Bay, and provides drinking supply water. The gravel road which cars,food trucks and portable
bathrooms will travel over comes within feet of the lake at times. It is not reasonable to think that these
vehicles do not represent a huge increase in risk of releasing harmful pollutants into the lake. In fact, as
can be seen in the property boundary map on page 3 of the report,Sajo Farms Road is not maintained
entirely on the applicant's property,traversing through the Lake Lawson property boundary(owned by
the City of Norfolk).
Public Safety
There is no consideration of public safety issues and emergency vehicle access in the report. The gravel
access (Sajo Farms Road) is not wide enough for 2-way traffic and a poor traveling surface at best one
would guess,for a fire truck. It is not hard to imagine incidents occurring that could make the venue
area very difficult to access.
For the above issues the City may be relying on site plan reviews that normally occur for developments,
to catch these items. This proposal seems to fall into a rare crack, however,where these reviews will
never happen because there are no improvements proposed that would require triggering the site plan
review process.
For consideration- it is clear that the previous owners of the Sajo Farm properties,that sold off the
parcel now occupied by the Sajo Farm development,expected the Manor house properties to remain
residential—otherwise they would have kept enough land to provide an appropriate access drive,on
their own property,for a commercial venture.
In summary, please focus on the appropriate issues at hand in a zoning context,with respect to the
residents that would be negatively impacted,filtering out irrelevant information,and simply
acknowledging that this use,as exciting as it may sound, is not appropriate given the property
limitations and environs. As well intended as the Bunches may be,the end result is trying to fit a square
peg into a round hole,and approving this will only lead to future complaints and tensions.

RE: DrayBun Sajo,LLC,Conditional Use Permit(Assembly Use)
I am a resident of Sajo Farm Community and my front porch is less than 800 feet from the event venue in question.Upon
reviewing the Staff Notes,I am disappointed in the misleading statement regarding support for the venue from the Sajo
Farm Community. On May 24,2019,I submitted a letter via email to Mr.Kevin Kemp referencing my concerns regarding
Public Safety and Parking and its negative effect on our community. I attended the June 3rd information session and there
were as many negative as positive concerns regarding the Venue. In addition,the Sajo Farm HOA has a conflict of
interest as one of the 4 members is an immediate member of the Bunch family.
It is also misleading to say that the Guesthouse is not visible from our community.One can clearly see the house and
property from the Common Element at the end of my street,Botanical Drive.The winding single lane gravel driveway
leading from Shell Road to Sajo Farm Manor and Guesthouse crosses 2 private properties and land owned by the City of
Norfolk and Lake Lawson.The 20 foot ingress/egress easement is extremely limiting.
On page 12 of the CUP Application provided to our community the owner writes of the City owned property:
1985 Ingress/egress issues and cost of renovations keep the city from any use of the manor house with Public
Access.
As the same road issues exist today as in 1985,how is it possible to consider the property for public use?
This brings me to the very serious concern for Public Safety.With the lake and its 20 Ft.buffer to the North and homes to
the South a fire truck and other emergency vehicles will not have quick access to the property particularly when
guests/vendors will be trying to exit. With such close proximity,I feel my home would be threatened in the event of a fire.
The barrier between our community and the venue is wooded and during dry weather months could be cause for even
greater concern.With 150 attendees possible at any given event,emergency response,not to mention appropriate fire
sprinlders in the Guesthouse when there is only well water,will be of utmost importance
Assistant Fire Marshall,Deidra Peterson,has informed me that"only the application and viewing online maps were
reviewed at this time and a site inspection will be performed during the site plan review process."She has also stated,"If
roadway improvements are necessary,they will be required during this process. Regardless,relevant fire code
requirements shall be met if the property owner wishes to have wedding events."
In closing,I want to ask you to please consider first and foremost the safety of the 300+families residing in the adjoining
neighborhood and for the public safety of attendees to events held at the Guesthouse.This Venue does not meet criteria
that is compatible with our community and should be Denied or at least Tabled until appropriate and thorough Site Plan
Reviews have been completed.
Thank you,

Ref. 5592 Sajo Farm Road (GPIN 1469209187)
Dear Mr. Kemp:
I am writing to request that the Planning Commission not approve the conditional use permit
referenced above.
My concern is that commercial use of the property at 5592 Sajo Farm Road will disrupt the
peaceful environment of the nearby residential neighborhood of SAJO Farm where my family
lives. We do not need a commercial business in this neighborhood.
We bought our SAJO Farm condo in 2013 with the expectation that we would not have the
encroachment of a commercial entity. And this one is focused on entertainment.
A typical scenario on a weekend with a large crowd of customers drinking alcohol into the night ,
a loud band or dj playing equally loud music. Their business plan will have too many of these
scenarios, I'm afraid.
This business does not belong in our residential neighborhood.
Please do not approve this conditional use permit.
Sincerely.
James M Hughes

Item#12
Draybun Sajo, LLC
Conditional Use Permit (Assembly Use)
55925 Sajo Farm Road
District—Kempsville
July 10,2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Mr. Fisher: Our last order of business is item number 12, Draybun Sajo, LLC. This is an
application for conditional use permit assembly use on property located at 5592 Sajo Farm
Road in the Kempsville District.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Bourdon: Good afternoon. Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, members of the
Commission for the record, Eddie Bourdon Virginia Beach attorney representing the Bunch,
the owners of the LLC that own the two parcels of property 12 and a half acres in size that are
the location of the guests manor house at Sajo Farm on this 8.1 acre parcel adjacent to Lake
Lawson,as well as the manor house which you could barely see the corner of over here on this
4.45 acre parcel again total of little over 12.5 acres of land,the property abuts a fmger of Lake
Lawson, and there are roads on the opposite side, the north side there are no homes located
anywhere around this property other than this dwelling, that's in the middle of the property
where the guest house is located on. The Bunch maintained the access road to the property and
they've maintained this property beautifully during their ownership. We provided Staff with
all the historical information; we provided the adjacent neighborhood the information, which
I know they posted on their community website. This was all one large site and Mr. Kemp
touch on that this morning in the informed briefing, I'm not going to go through all of it, but
it's a gorgeous,gorgeous,gorgeous piece of property. The real estate taxes and insurance alone
on an annual basis is a$75,000 expense. Okay,that's before you get to the maintenance of this
very large,beautiful piece of property. And it's not a complaint, that's life, that's reality. But
having been involved in a number of historical properties over the years in Virginia Beach,and
a lot of you all have some familiarity with this as well. The hard part is maintaining them and
keeping them and having them remain viable. This piece of property can be rezoned,just like
the adjacent piece of property that is where the homes are in Sajo,and they're beautiful homes,
nice neighborhood,no doubt about it. The Bunch do not ever want to see that occur,plain and
simple. And they are simply trying to create a way and they've had a lot of people from the
historical, preservation committee and folks who are into historical preservation in Virginia
Beach,and in even Hampton Roads, at the property various times,and their predecessors have
as well. And everybody says the same thing we've got to preserve, we got to preserve it, was
willing to pay for it. And so that's what this is an effort to do. And is the most perfectly situated
property for that I've seen in Virginia Beach. And I don't know where a lot of other ones are
located. Before I forget the chain of thought that the Bunch are the ones who because they like
to go to bed early. They have suggested, not staff, the 9 pm on this property for events, so no
quarrel with what you will do with the ordinance. The condition in here at 9 pm is their
condition and we aren't asking that to be modified or changed in any manner, shape, or form.
When they came to me with this originally,they had already spoken to the church,they already
had made the arrangements because they don't want a lot of cars out here parked on the site
either. And so that arrangement was made before we ever went down this path, if this is
approved, they will be acquiring the shuttle, they will own the shuttle, that anyone who wants
1
to use this for a venue for an outdoor event, will have park at the church and the shuttle that
will be provided will be part of the cost, to bring people here and take people out. It is
anticipated that most of the events that are outside and there are no more than 40 and we doubt
they'll be 40 in a given year, maybe the years to come, it will be many years before that, it
reaches that number, most of them will take place behind the guest house, the ones that are
outdoors, I'm just really talking about the outdoors on the lake, the front of the nice yard in
front of the guest house can be used for the small amount of parking that is permitted on-site
and people who are working the event and there could be some utilization of this area for an
event, but we expect the vast majority to be behind the house overlooking the lake. I don't
think too many folks will use the front. But that's something that's a possibility and the cars
that we do have will be for smaller events that will be parked in front of the house and indoor
events are limited,as you saw in all the conditions that y'all had a chance to review and become
familiar with. My clients want to make this property be maintained as it is like they have
maintained it;they don't want to see it developed and this is the best way that they know and I
will mention also that my good friend, our commissioner of revenue, he got the idea of doing
his house from the Bunch, the Bunch have been working on this longer than Phil that you all
did approve, and that does have the 10 o'clock. But again that is not what we're seeking to do.
We've also agreed voluntarily there'll be no bands out here, no drums,no bass guitar, the only
type of music that'll be permitted is a DJ, or an acoustic guitar, nothing other than that. We
had a meeting with the adjacent community over a month ago, well attended and take issue
with one of the letters that I read about there being opposition; I've been doing these meetings
for 30 some odd years and never certainly was not the circumstance,but I do think everybody
was extremely courteous and civil at that meeting. We have provided you all, I provided this
morning, there are 14 letters of support, we should hope you get a chance to read them,
including one from Mr. Gambrell for the Historic Preservation Commission. There is a
petition with 63 signatures and the letters are many other from couples and those petitions and
the letters are from almost entirely from residents in the adjacent neighborhood and if we can
put the overall map up, the Bunch, their neighbors, they don't want to see all these trees
removed and houses built,I'm not aware of and don't believe there are any,or is any opposition
from any of the property owners who abut the property. So that's the situation here and Bunch
aren't going to knock these trees down. I mean they have no intention of ever doing that. There
is no ability to access here, unless the owners of the property permitted, that's precluded by
these conditions, and they're certainly not going to allow it to happen. Now, I read in one of
these emails,so concerned aboutfire truck safety,etc. Obviously,if there were to besome type
of emergency event, then the fire rescue, public safety could certainly get through here, we
could certainly let them come through here. But all access will be from Sajo Farm Road,there
will be no access to any event at the property other than through Sajo Farm Road. Now, you
all have revised conditions that were passed out this morning, and I appreciate the revisions
that were made. And I am in full accord with all of them. There is one however,that I brought
up with Mr.Kemp,that was overlooked and with all this been going on,I certainly understand
it; I draw your attention to condition number 16 regarding the use of generators, there will be
no generators used for anything on this site, with one exception. And that is in spring or fall,
especially after daylight savings time, it gets dark and the weather is still nice before 9 pm.
And this is a residentially zoned property just as is the adjacent neighborhood and generators
are completely permitted. And we have electrical power, we have good power, but what we
don't have is the ability to have lighting especially for at night here, if there's not a full moon,
it's you know, there's nothing aroundthis very heavily wooded, we may need to have some
minimal outdoor lighting for safety reasons. So that condition number 16. There won't be any
generators for music, there won't be any generators for food, or anything like that. But there
may be and undoubtedly will be on occasion, need for an hour or two of some temporary
2
outdoor lighting and the only way that we can do it without a generator, we certainly will,but
we are concerned that my clients are concerned that there may be the need for a small
residentially size generator, no different than you have in any of the homes in this adjacent
community. And again, the 10 o'clock everything's dark and again, the 10 o'clock is not for
the event, 10 o'clock is the extra hour to clean up,but that's the only thing that I would request
the commission, I have discussed this with staff this morning that the generator, use of
generators for provision of food, music or anything other than a temporary outdoor lighting
shall be prohibited is perfectly fine with us. But we do not want to have a scenario where
people walking around in the dark for an hour and that's the only situation as far as these
conditions. Most of these conditions, staff has worked very diligently. I want to thank Bobby
and staff, Kevin, on all the work they've done on this. And I frankly agree with all the
conditions with that one clarification on the generator and I'll be happy with that to answer any
questions any of you may have.
Ms. Oliver: Any questions?Yes,Ron?
Mr. Ripley: Well, first of all,I'll just say the generator,I would oppose the using generators
for lighting,I think he should try and then put in his lighting and size that accordingly that just
that's where I would be on that,but the rest of it, I don't have a problem with but the distance
from houses, there were some pretty far long distances I saw there, a lot of them was a couple
of football fields almost. Can you point out what that is?
Mr. Bourdon: The area in here is over 300 feet. If someone wants to suggest that we're going
to have an event out here by the road, which isn't going to happen, that we're not suggesting,
events will be in the house behind the house or, within 25-30 feet of the house. From that
scenario,these homes, which I fairly certain there's zero opposition from anybody along here.
We're talking about close to 300 feet little less the Bunch actually own one of these homes and
they may wind up acquiring another one, the homes along here are well over 300 close to 400
feet and then I know there was a house I measured over here across the water from the manor
house that have express concerns that from their second floor window they could see the front
of the house, which they were well over 600 feet away, looking across heavily wooded,
developed and some open area in front of the manor house. But the closest residence here,my
clients and the owner of that property, get along well for years and again, they've had
discussions for years about.
Mr. Ripley: So its 300 feet from that right there? Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: In this area here. These folks,I know these homeowners are supportive. I know
one of the long letter or email that you received, which I'll reserve for rebuttal, the owner of
that property not even on this picture is over this area far-far away with houses between their
house and the property, I think there may be another party who's in one of these homes on the
end,that's concerned about the amount of traffic coming through the gravel driveway. I would
simply note that on the opposite side of the street is commercial development that's far, far
closer than what would be occurring way back here. So there's just isn't anything close and
most importantly,heavily wooded,forested all this area,completely forest inside. It's going to
stay that way.
Ms. Oliver: Any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Okay,thank you very much.
Mr. Fisher: We have six speakers in opposition and one in support. Would you like for me
to call the one in support first?
3
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Mr. Fisher: Will Mr.Evin Thompson,please come to the podium. You can state your name
for the record to sir.
Mr. Thompson: Evin Thompson.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Thompson: Thank you Madam Chair, members of the commission. I'm Evin
Thompson. Thanks for the opportunity to speak. I support the proposal. I've been a member
of the Virginia Beach Community for over 37 years off and on,a Navy veteran. Thirteen years
ago,I decided to make this community my home. Nine years ago,I decided to make Sajo Farm
my home. I decided to make Sajo Farm my home because of the historical nature of it. Sajo
Farm has a great community. I'll be up front. I live well 1000 yards away from thisplace. I'm
on the other side of Lake Lawson. But I've been around Lake Lawson and what a beautiful,
beautiful setting to have that one lifetime event of a person's life here in Virginia Beach. I
know when I got married 32 years ago,there wasn't such a beautiful location to get married at
here in Virginia Beach at venue like this. I believe the applicant has established satisfactory
mitigating measures in regards to frequency,noise,parking,and everything else going on with
this event. I also believe that the revenue brought in to this will help the Virginia Beach
Community. So to summarize I support this proposal. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Fisher: Mr. Bill Griggs,please come to the podium.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Griggs: Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much for letting me speak. I am
glad that we have the map so I can help point out some things to you. I sent a letter which all
of you should have received. I have several concerns. One, let me show you where I live.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Griggs.
Mr. Griggs: I am sorry.
Ms. Oliver: No, no,you're fine. There's a pointer right there. If you can pick that up it got
a laser on it. There you go.
Mr. Griggs: Okay. There we go. This is my home, right here. There's another home right
here that has been built since this picture was done. So there are 1,2, 3,4, 5 I mean, I got that
right. Oh,it's because the trees out there. Sorry. I think we're all together. Yeah,right. Yeah.
I'm right here. I'm sorry. My fault right there. It's not during the winter.
Ms. Oliver: So great. But I just need you on the mic.
Mr. Griggs: Oh, I'm sorry. So anyway, that's our home. Our problem is, and I would love
to be able to party all night long. Our problem is that our master bedroom, our living room,
our kitchen,our sun room,and all of those homes right there,those four homes on that side are
40 to 60 feet from that single lane gravel road. There is no buffer, no evergreen buffer, we
only have some leaves. I can actually stand in my bedroom and see through to that gravel road.
So that gravel road is going to be a real issue, because it's going to be a sound issue. First of
all,they say they're going to have an amplified DJ and that's fine. But there's also an acoustical
4
issue. And the acoustical issue has to do with sound waves,and this came from the University
of North Carolina that I found. Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids,
liquids, and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the
molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly,liquids are not packed
as tightly and gases are very loosely packed. This enables the sound to travel much faster
through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in or over water
than it does air. This is why whales can communicate over distances in the ocean,sound travels
13 times faster in wood than air. Now you have to understand if you live there, you know it's
different. I moved there in 2015. This was our final home; this was going to be a great place.
I walk my dog every night, every night. And I will tell you we love the four peacocks that are
at the Sajo Farm. But I guarantee you right now when you hit about here, I can hear that
peacock that's here. These trees are going to act as reverberation. They're not dense enough,
lower, they're going to carry that sound from any amplified sound, whether it would be a DJ,
acoustical guitar might be fine. But we're mostly concerned about the sound because this
neighborhood of Sajo Farm is heavily military with different schedules. In my home, one of
us is up at 4:30 that means we're at bed at six. I mean in bed at eight. So it's a very difficult
time.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Griggs, so sorry, but your red light has gone off
Mr. Griggs: Okay, I didn't even know there was one.
Ms. Oliver: You do, you have, so when I started the hearing, I said you had to be mindful
of your time. So just, you know, you have three minutes to speak.
Mr. Griggs: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: And you have a yellow light that blinks,and then the red light. And I apologize,
but we appreciate your letter. And let's see if we have any questions for you.
Mr. Griggs: Okay, sure. Yes sir.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Ripley.
Mr. Ripley: Is there a buffer that could be placed between the road and the back of your
property that might help mitigate the sound?
Mr. Griggs: That's what I was trying to figure out. Because it's going to have to be something
like a cement wall or whatever, because when you look at the letter, you'll see the number of
trips that I've calculated, it is going to take to do for any event. So it's bouncing, that sound
just bounces like crazy. I mean, I hear it when the Bunch do the repair work to their gravel
road, which is great. It's loud as heck. Because and I can hear that scraping, so I don't know
that there's room because there's condo,common land and then what strip that Mr. Bunch may
have, which are side by side, and there's not much there.
Mr. Ripley: I don't doubt you'd be talking about a concrete fence but is there a residential
type fence or six foot fence or something like that, that might make some difference to you?
Mr. Griggs: We put in,we spent a fortune on our fence that was approved by our association
and it's not a solid fence.
Mr. Ripley: So you have a fence there now?
5
Mr. Griggs: I have a fence there now; it's not a solid fence. It's not, they were not in the
approved things for the condos.
Mr. Ripley: What is that like, slap fences?
Mr. Ripley: So you can see through it.
Ms. Oliver: Aluminum fence.
Mr. Griggs: Just a plain aluminum fence. That's all it is.
Mr. Ripley: Aluminum fence.
Mr. Griggs: So you've got, you know, every six inches you've got.
Mr. Horsley: Rod iron.
Mr. Griggs: Yeah, that's all it is. So I mean that, other than paving it that may, that would
probably help with the gravel sound, because it's going to be loud. And when you got heavy
trucks, assembly trucks coming in, because if you bring in tents that are needed for some
weddings, and all of that sort of stuff, they comes on large trucks, and they come in the day
before to set up and they come back the day after the event to remove. And if you've got a van
shuttling people back and forth to the church parking lot,understanding the van only holds 12,
so if it only holds 12 how many trips have you got to make back and forth to that church to get
people in, and then how many trips have you got to make back to get them out. And as you
will know, people travel on their own schedules, and they're not all going to show up at one
time where you can do it quickly and efficiently. So it's going to be a noisy mess from my
perspective.
Mr. Ripley: So my question is,is there a buffer that you would be,you might find acceptable
if that would help mitigate this out? That's my question.
Mr. Griggs: I haven't seen one, other than what I seeout close by Yorktown, by the park in
Newport News Park that goes over to 17, I've seen those types of barriers. They may work,
you know, they're huge. But it's going to take something dense to cover that sound.
Mr. Ripley: Okay, thanks.
Mr. Griggs: Okay. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Fisher: Bonita Barger, please come to the podium. You could state your name for the
record as well.
Ms. Barger: My name is Bonita Barger.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome,you can drop the mic a little bit for you. We'll hear you better. Thank
you very much.
Ms. Barger: My husband Blair Barger and I live in the Sajo Farm community. And our front
porch is less than 800 feet from the guest house area that they've indicated would be parking
and possible venue area.
Ms. Oliver: You want to use the pointer and just show us, is your house visible on this map?
6
Ms. Barger: It is.
Ms. Oliver: Do you mind just pointing to it with a pointer. Thank you. Okay.
Ms. Barger: My house is right there. And my issue is also concerning the road and on page
12 of the CUP application provided to our community by the owners, they write that in 1985,
the property was actually owned by the City of Virginia Beach, and I'll quote"Ingress-egress
issues and cost of renovations keep the city from any use of the manor house with public
access." So the same road exists today as in 1985. The winding single lane gravel driveway
leading from Shell Road to Sajo Farm manor and guest house crosses at least two private
properties. Lake Lawson and property owned by the City of Norfolk, there's only a 20-foot
Ingress egress easement, and that is extremely limiting. So that leads me to what my primary
concern is and that is public safety. With the lake and its 20 foot buffer to the north and the
homes to the south,a fire truck and other emergency vehicles will not have quick access to the
property particularly when guest or vendors might be trying to exit the property since it's only
a single lane gravel driveway. The close proximity to my home and others in my neighborhood
would put us at risk with potentially 150 guests, a house on well water without sprinklers and
surrounded by woodland. The potential for disaster exists. I might also add during dry periods
as we often experience here in Virginia Beach in the summer that's a problem. I spoken to the
fire marshal Deirdre Peterson and she has assured me quote"only the application and reviewing
online maps were reviewed on a site and a site inspection will be performed during the site
plan review process regardless, relevant fire code requirements shall be met if the property
owner wishes to have wedding events." In closing, I want to ask you to please consider first
and foremost, the safety of 300 plus families residing in my neighborhood and the safety of
event that attendees. This venue does not meet criteria that is compatible with our community
and should be denied or at least tabled until proper,thorough site plan review has been coming
to you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Your time is up. I appreciate it. Anybody have any questions?
Okay, thank you very much.
Mr. Fisher: Deborah Partington.
Ms. Partington: I am a Deborah Partington; I'm a resident of Sajo Farms. I never
received proper notice of today's hearing first off,and my understanding is you've received 63
votes in support of the CUP, but I feel that with proper notice from to the other homeowners,
you might have received 100 votes against it, and that 63 only represents 2% of the
homeowners. This CUP is fraught with a laundry list of problems,I'm going to deal with noise
levels, I'll make it more simple than Mr. Grayson. I will say it is unrealistic to think that
wedding noise levels won't exceed the city code decibel levels of 65 decibels during the day,
and 55 in the evening, especially since it is a fact that normal conversation levels between two
people is at 60 decibels to begin with. Now you're adding into the mix 40 to 150 voices
outdoors, it's going to be noisy, there's going to be a PA system for guests to make ceremonial
speeches to toast the bride and groom, no brainer, it's going to be loud, amplified music,
automatically going to excel the noise level. To approve this CUP is not compatible with the
neighborhood community and land use set forth in the city comprehensive plan. Sajo Farms is
a community of military seniors and families. And the CUP will only benefit the Bunch at the
expense of the homeowners. And I forgot to add that about the music,the Bunch held an event
two weeks ago, they had Lewis McGehee at their Carriage House playing for a birthday party
and it could be heard all the way down the street, the words of the music, the words could be
heard. And that wasn't even amplified. I would ask in closing that the Commission error on
7
the side of caution and deny this CUP on the basis that the effect of the CUP won't be known
until the first wedding and then it's too late. And also I want to say that their attorney intimated
that or my understanding is that the purpose they want to do these weddings and have these
assemblies is to raise money to help pay their tax bill. I think they have other options. They
could sell the property. They don't need to hold weddings; it's going to heavily impact the
residents of Sajo Farms. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Is anybody have any questions? Thank you so much.
Mr. Fisher: Deborah Clark.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. Clark: Thank you for having us and allowing us a chance to speak. My name is
Deborah Clark and my husband and I were the fourth home to close in Sajo Farms in 2008. So
we've been there a long time,we've seen the whole community grow up and develop met all of
our new neighbors. And it's really a wonderful,nice,quiet place to live. I want to request that
the board either deny or table a decision until the property meets the requirements of Norfolk,
Virginia Beach, the fire marshal, etc. The residents those 63 people who signed the petition,
had no idea what was going in on Monday when the lawyer submitted another letter to you.
So those 63 people, who signed the petition, have no idea what they just agreed to. Okay,
sorry. I'm a little nervous.
Ms. Oliver: It's all right.
Ms. Clark: In the Virginia pilot online article of June 5, 2009, the whole property was on
the market for$7.9 million and was unable to be sold. So now the owner's solution is to make
money to support the property through a wedding venue. That's disturbing to the residents of
Sajo Farm. My concern is for the peace and safety of the Sajo Farm community. Every day,
we clearly hear the Navy bases morning and evening songs taps. The Navy base was here long
before Sajo Farm was developed. We are about three to four miles away from the base and
every house in the community can hear that. And while we agree that it's pleasant,we all stand
we listen,we sing along. It's meaningful music and it's softly played. Having a wedding venue
will not provide short and soft music across the community and the entire community will be
hearing music. We have no control over the type of music and this could be rap music with
foul language and could potentially be blasted across Sajo Farm. Property values are bound to
drop,we've already heard of neighbors who are planning to move,traffic to and from the venue
as you already heard down the one lane gravel road, I'm concerned with the lack of fire
hydrants on the property will necessitate additional equipment to pump lake water to any fire
on the property. Time and equipment well place the venue customers at risk. The property has
a gate that exits on to Sajo Farm community property and it's a gate that's open people come in
and out of that gate onto our Sajo Farm property. This gate implies at any time, sorry. People
can enter our community which is a private community. There's nothing to stop them from
exiting into our community, by foot or by vehicle. If the venue is approved, this gate should
be changed to regular fencing to prevent customers or residents from entering Sajo Farm
community from the venue and the Sajo Farm Manor property. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Anybody have any questions for Ms.Clark? No. Thank
you so much.
Mr. Fisher: Eddie Evard.
Ms. Oliver: Take your time.
8
Mr. Evard: My name is Ed Evard. My wife Barbara Knight and I have lived in Sajo since
2013. We live across the lake from the Bunch's Manor House about 200 feet as addressed
earlier when they had their party two weeks ago, everything was heard loud and clear. We
bought the home because we enjoy the beauty of the area and the nature; use our deck quite
often to sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet and to hear the sounds of nature. I can't
imagine having to sit every Saturday and Sunday on my deck here and nothing but music.
Imagine having an open house if you try to sell your home and the buyers come by,potential
buyers come by on a Saturday or Sunday and that's what they hear. Music,Music, and music
that's not going to help my property values, couple of questions I have already addressed, but
you know weddings can be loud and boisterous. Guests can be obnoxious, drunk or even
worse. Smoking is permitted,not prohibitedin the venue. Somebody starts a fire as addressed
earlier accidentally; it spread to the dry woods, what's going to happen? We're a private
community. What happens in wedding guests aside a park and streets and cut through our
neighborhood to get to the venue. How are they going to be policed to enforce all these
requirements that have been set forth? Can emergency vehicles safely navigate a 20 foot wide
winding gravel road and in contradiction to what was said in the application,the HOA did not
endorse this venue. They've taken no positions. If you want to ask the president sitting right
behind me, they are not taking a position on to the venue. So I ask as others have that this
venue be denied? Or if not, at least time be given to do a site study and address all the
applications that might affect the environment, safety, egress and code requirements that have
been set forth in the staffs planning document. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do you mind showing us with the pointer about where your house
is located please?
Mr. Evard: I don't know if it's shown,I don't think we're on and if I don't know,noise travels
very quickly and loudly across the water.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Evard: No trouble hearing what's going on,where we're located.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Thank you very much.
Mr. Evard: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any questions? Okay. Thank you very much.
Mr. Fisher: Barbara Evard.
Ms. Evard: Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. I just want to make one
correction.
Ms. Oliver: Before you get started, would you state your name please?
Ms. Evard: Yes. I'm sorry. My name is Barbara Evard. I am a resident of Sajo Farms. I
just want to set for the record. I think it was said that this is part of Kempsville District, it is
not, it's Bayside.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Ms. Evard: Okay. We purchased our home in Sajo Farm, it was the understanding and
validated with the real estate agent that adjacent property was not to be for commercial use. It
was not zoned for commercial use. What is now being proposed is indeed commercial use.
9
The zoning is therefore incompatibility. . Approval of this proposal will provide a conflict
between the venue and the Sajo Farm residential community. We are a community; we need
to speak with one voice. We do not want this commercial venue in our backyard. It must be
noted that Sajo Farm HOA has not approved this proposal as listed in your paperwork. And so
the information presented in the conditional use permit was a gross misrepresentation. Our
Community Board has also decided not to take a position. However, members of the board
have a vested interest in this proposal, as she is an immediate relative of the applicants and
she's a family member of the Bunch, she is on board. At issue is not that this proposal has not
been properly vetted and information presented is not accurate. No site plan has been
performed,which would reveal some major discrepancies issues and misrepresentations in the
proposal. There is no city water or city sewage and the use of portable sewage devices place
near the buffers to Norfolk, Lake Lawson are potential public health violations. Oversight of
the specific limitations or requirements set forth in the permit request will be difficult at best
to police or to enforce. As such,this will cause safety issues and will jeopardize the quality of
our peaceful neighborhood. This proposal will threaten the welfare of the members of our
community and serve as an annoyance, a disturbance, excessive noise, traffic parking issues,
shuttle vehicles,food trucks,music,building issues,multiple serious access road issues provide
serious safety and public health concerns as well as potential environmental concerns. This
proposal threatens and interferes with the enjoyment of my home and my yard and potentially
every Friday,every Saturday and or Sunday will directly affect the property values of my home
bordering on the lake and ultimately the values of the home of my entire community. It seems
this proposal may not have been thought through sufficiently and so we strongly suggest that
the Commission considered denial of this petition or to table this and due diligence in the
review of the conditions and the specifications. A site review would be essential and providing
insight into some serious concerns and 63 people is not representative of a private community
of almost 1000 residents. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do you mind showing us where you live?
Ms. Evard: Again, I live,it's not seen there.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, so you can see your house.
Ms. Evard: The whole community that is behind here.
Ms. Oliver: So you are further to the south?
Ms. Evard: I am on a different fmger of Lake Lawson. However, it is all part of Lake
Lawson. The sound travels across Lake Lawson and when there was a party there about two
weeks ago, every word that was said was heard from my back porch.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Thank you very much.
Ms. Evard: You are welcome.
Mr. Fisher: That's all the speakers we have.
Ms. Oliver: Okay,thank you,Mr. Bourdon.
Mr. Bourdon: The one thing I do want to agree that this is in the Bayside District. I think that
is an error on the report says Kempsville. Is it in Kempsville?
Ms. Wilson: Yeah, it goes up.
10
Mr. Bourdon: Most everybody thinks it's in Bayside,but I guess that's changed at some point.
All right,where to start,I guess the one way to start is that every homeowner in the community,
first of all know the folks who spoke to abuts the property with the exception of Mr. Griggs
and in terms of putting up an eight foot fence or potentially trying to plant a buffer behind his
fence that's something we certainly can look into doing and our covers doing. The rest of the
folks who spoke do not abut the property. The last couple who spoke live in the same duplex
condo out on the point that I referenced before I didn't make copies of this, but they are well
beyond the Manor House across another finger of the lake. The other couple folks spoke are
all the way out at the entrance close to Diamond Springs Road are closed and there's some
personality issues, I'm not going to go down that road. The reality of this situation is that
everybody in that neighborhood, in their pools in their backyard can play amplified music and
our noise ordinance isn't going to bother anybody if they stopped by 9 o'clock, in fact, if they
stopped by 10 o'clock. The city's not gonna do anything to stop it. They can play rap music,
they can play any music they want, I can guarantee you. There won't be a rap concert out or
there won't be rap music, the Bunch own this property, this is their endeavor. It is not
something they're renting out to somebody who doesn't care. They care more about this
property than anybody who's spoken here today and we could have brought, you know, twice
as many people down here to speak about what a good idea this is. We chose not to do that.
We didn't want to inconvenience folks. We will bring up at the city council. But the point I'm
making is you all understand this. This is an excellent use of this property and 9 o'clock with
Lewis McGehee, for birthday party that the Bunch had their property just like everybody else
in the neighborhood can have a birthday party,everybody else can even theoretically have three
weddings in their backyard and these small lots where they can play music. The community
has a pool in a clubhouse,just like a lot of other communities I represent. They have wedding
receptions and parties at the club house far closer to the last two folks that spoke than this is
and no condition that it stopped by 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock. So the Bunchare trying to be a
good,great neighbors and that's why they agreed that everything stops at 9 pm. Everybody out
there can have music in their backyard,past 9 pm and there's not a thing the city can or will do
about it. The Bunch don't want there to be stuff going on their property late at night, they
certainly do not have any desire to see any fires or anything occur,this is their investment. The
last thing they're gonna do is allow somebody to mess with it. There will be no smoking in the
house,there will be a small outdoor area set aside for somebody who wishes to smoke but they
certainly don't want to see people out there smoking,but that's beyond that. They are the ones
who have the most at risk. They're the ones who definitely don't want to see this happen, the
one lady spoke said that she's over 800 feet away and I know a couple of spoker that are even
further away. All the folks that have joined us understand the benefits of this intimately and I
think all the conditions that staff is recommended, protect any reasonable expectation that
anyone could have with regard to if this were developed houses just like theirs, they'd have
people living right next to them, where they can be playing music past 9 pm at night, so this
idea that somehow this has got to be completely silent just doesn't make sense and then Mr.
Griggs, who work with him on his concern, but the notion we all have been doing this a long
time that we're, as I thought I understood him to say his study he was referring to that sound
wouldn't get to his property as quickly if the trees weren't there,just that's what I heard,maybe
I misunderstood what he was saying,but the best thing that's out,the best things is the forested
area,that is the best buffer. But again, as far as the road and the gravel,I think we're better off
looking at putting up a fence or possibly a hedgerow or something like that to muffle the sound
as opposed to paving it, and the fire issues and those will all be dealt with,as you all know,by
the midst, in fact, my clients have the fire department out there every year to inspect because
it helps them not have to pay even more money in insurance on the property. So they invite
the fire department out there every year and they will certainly be doing that with regard to
11
this. The last thing they want to do is take any risk with their property, which they dearly,
dearly love, and it shows anybody's ever been out there by the way, it's maintained.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Bourdon, you addressed the gate between places, can you talked about the
gate a little bit and access who owns the gate is that locked?
Mr. Bourdon: My clients,they maintain the gate,it's their gate,the responsibility to make sure
that people do not come again, anybody who's going to have any type of function here, there'll
be a contract long beforehand will all be explained,what their expectations are,what will have
to happen, the Bunch will be the ones that will be monitoring and involved in putting on
whatever it is,no one will be coming through that gate. Obviously, if there were to be any type
of an emergency circumstance situation,I think 99%they're going to be coming down the Sajo
Farm Road, but they certainly can come through and the gate can be open to allow emergency
vehicle access if that becomes necessary and an emergency.
Ms. Oliver: Is the gate belongs to the Bunch?
Mr. Bourdon: Correct. It's on the manor house property.
Ms. Oliver: And that paper road into the neighborhood belongs to them as well. So that gate
typically is not open for public use, is that correct?
Mr. Bourdon: Exactly correct. And with this condition, this condition, it's only on them, you
know, and they're not going to allow it to be used to access their property for any of that.
Ms. Oliver: And anybody else have any questions? Jan, go ahead.
Ms. Rucinski: So have they taken into consideration emergency vehicles on that small gravel
road? I mean, is it wide enough for two people to go down at the same time?
Mr. Bourdon: There are places where a vehicle can pull off,there is plenty of room for vehicle
pull off,but again, if there needs to be emergency vehicle access that access can come through
the gate.
Ms. Rucinski: The gate goes to any road, it looks like there is?
Mr. Bourdon: Oh yeah, it does.
Ms. Rucinski: What I had here, it doesn't look like it goes to anything? Oh, okay.
Mr. Bourdon: It absolutely does. And I would suspect although I don't know this firsthand,
but I would suspect if there were to be a fire in the Manor House, I believe that I don't know
this, but I think the fire department may very well come that way anyway because it may be
the most direct and easiest way to get there.
Ms. Rucinski: And then I just wanted to make sure that I understand you did indicate that you
or your client was not be opposed to addressing something that's where that gravel joins, and
right behind where those four or five houses are right, okay.
Mr. Bourdon: We're certainly willing to put up an eight foot fence of some sort or potentially
since, I think they may all have open stuff and said Mr. Griggs was talking about certainly
could look at doing a hedgerow that would grow up and again,be a better sound.
Ms. Rucinski: Or even pave a small section?
12
Mr. Bourdon: Or pave, yeah that's a possibility as well. Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Ripley: That's where I wanted to go with it. You know, thinking about Mr. Griggs'
concerns and there will be a lot of traffic coming and going there and it does make noise. I
drove down the road yesterday and there's a nice little road and everything, but it's a gravel
road and makes a lot of noise. That's well maintained, but makes noise and I don't think I
would like it right behind my house like that. So,what I'd like to see you do is paved the road,
past that house, the last house 50 feet or 75 feet or something. By the time you do that, you
could almost put a fence and I mean, cost you about what a fence would cost to do that. It's
not that hard to paved. He's already got the subsurface, we got the rock there. It's simple,
relatively speaking, that's simple for me to do.
Mr. Bourdon: Easy for us to do.
Mr. Ripley: Exactly, exactly. That's what I'd like to see happen, quite frankly, I think it
would, I think it would improve its operations too, sort of transition back out to the road.
Mr. Bourdon: Whatever the commission wants to do with regard of that, if you want to put
that as a condition. Again, I think the best thing would be to have a conversation with all of
the owners along there,but I'm certainly not saying that isn't the solution that they would want.
Mr. Ripley: Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: But I'd certainly, we're not gonna, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you we won't
do that. Because, you know, we may very well, that may be what they would prefer to do.
Mr. Ripley: Sure.
Mr. Bourdon: I don't believe there are any environmental restrictions that would keep us from
doing that because it's already a hard surface to begin with, it's not the Bay, I think you're
absolutely correct. Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Tell me about what's going on in the property in the past in terms of
entertainment. They had Lewis McGehee out there for what birthday party.
Mr. Bourdon: My client had a birthday party.
Mr. Inman: Okay. Was that an event that required any kind of permit?
Mr. Bourdon: No. Their family.
Mr. Inman: No, so there hasn't been any, could they not acquire a special event permit if
they wanted to have?
Mr. Bourdon: If they wanted to have a wedding reception , they could get a special event
permit, but I think you're limited to three in a year.
Mr. Inman: Okay. I understand. So they haven't chosen to do that in the past?
Mr. Bourdon: No, no.
Mr. Inman: Okay. So there's been no opportunity, sort of for a test of how it would be to
have a larger event?
13
Mr. Bourdon: Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I do know that at the Manor House, which is
closer to residents substantially closer to existing residences. There have been receptions and
the historic Review Boards been out there for reception. I'm certain over the years; I was at a
political fundraiser there probably dozen or more years ago. I mean, there are that types of
situation, but I do not believe they've had wedding receptions. Now there may have been the
prior owner of the Manor House,had it was an art gallery and the public can come buy art. But
again, it was not particularly successful. But that was again, couple of decade, more than two
decades ago.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: But I do not believe that there have been any wedding receptions that have been
held and the guest house,which is the older of the two houses...
Mr. Inman: On the wedding aspect, I don't think there could be other corporate functions
somebody want to get out there.
Mr. Bourdon: The birthday party, Lewis McGehee, was done at 8:30. They stopped playing
music at 8:30. I'm sorry, Mike,did you ask?
Mr. Inman: They're not limited to wedding.
Mr. Bourdon: Oh, no, no, but this is, if you know, the Bunch and I think that most of their
neighbors do,they're very,very protected and guarded of this property,they're not going to be
having any animal house parties out here. It's just not going to happen.
Mr. Inman: The organizations that you're thinking.
Mr. Bourdon: They're doing this,because they want to see the property preserved in perpetuity
as it is, as opposed to it having to be sold and developed and that's what they don't want to see
happen. And as I said earlier, they're the ones that gave Phil Pelham, the idea of doing the
same thing right over here. And they've been working at, because the circumstances you all
aware,this has taken longer to come forward because of the fact that its own residential instead
of the zoning that Mr. Kellam had of agriculture.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Don.
Mr. Horsley: I had the privilege a few years ago to assist when the historical, whatever
commission is Historic Preservation Commission,their Christmas tour and the Bunch allowed
them to go into the Manor House and it was a tour. And that was held very nicely. I mean, it
was,in and out,and it was a pretty much all day deal from and things went very well and that's
an area people like historic things, and this is one of the best historic assets in the State of
Virginia Beach and anything we can do to help them preserve it. And that's the problem with
historic places people want to preserve,but,you don't pay up and help preserve them,that's the
problem. So if they've got the means and the ability to do this and do it in a very professional
way, I would have to support them. I do agree with the suggestion maybe that pave that front
entrance would help the noise issue;I think that would help. But in the country,we like gravel
roads, because you know, somebody who's coming to visit you hear them coming, but like I
say I think it's anything we can do to help the Bunch make sure this is preserved and a venue
like this helps get that done. I think we've got a notice from the historic commission that they
are in support of this. So, I've always concerns of people, but you know, like, say everybody
in the area can do certain things throughout the year and I think this will work if it's handled
right and I think Bunch will do it right.
14
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? If not, then thank you
very much and I will close the hearing now, so that we can discuss it amongst the
commissioners. Anybody have anything to say? Not then...
Ms. Rucinski: I just have a quick question. So if we're thinking that they need to do some
either pavement or some kind of buffering,would we need to put that into the recommendation
or?
Ms. Oliver: Yeah,and I think Mr. Bourdon said that he would,do you want to step up here?
Mr. Barnes: Well, let me make a recommendation. I was going to suggest though that the
applicant constructs an asphalt surface on the existing Sajo Farm Road from Shell Road to
approximately the beginning of the first curve in the road, which has just passed the house,
which we get most of the day.
Ms. Oliver: Is that the house that's on the lane, so the one house that's on the lane.
Mr. Barnes: The four houses that are on the backside.
Ms. Oliver: On the backside.
Mr. Barnes: At Front Street. Four houses right there.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Barnes: Go about to the first curve, which is just past that.
Ms. Oliver: I got it. Right.
Mr. Barnes: Yeah, that they minimally pave it, if they want to do more, that's fine.
Mr. Wall: So we're gonna add that as a condition,we probably need to make it more sound
than just to the first to the bend.
Mr. Tajan: For that, say the gravel drive shall be paved from Shell Road approximately 400
feet towards the Manor House that gets it to that location in my measurements here.
Mr. Ripley: If that's what the measurement is, I have no idea.
Mr. Tajan: That's what I pulled up here, it's about 100 feet from the houses.
Mr. Wall: Also, do the Bunch own that strip of land? Because it looks like it's between
the City of Norfolk property, if lake Lawson is City in Norfolk.
Mr. Ripley: With an access easement.
Mr. Wall: Access easements that they can improve if that's.
Mr. Ripley: Well, they improve it now.
Mr. Bourdon: It's an easement that they can improve.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes Mike.
15
Mr. Inman: I have some concerns about the noise. I'm impressed by some of the speakers
and their testimony to what they've heard and what they are likely to hear and why they're
likely to hear it in terms of speaking, in terms of music and, if we'd be better limitation here
have no more than 40 events, outdoor events,no more than 40 per calendar year, and no more
than one event on the same day,now that's helpful because that would only be a little over one
a month. Is that not correct?
Mr. Ripley: One a week.
Mr. Inman: One a month.
Ms. Oliver: It's 52 weeks in a year.
Mr. Inman: Oh yeah. Okay. So we got, so little less than.
Ms. Oliver: That's three a month.
Mr. Inman: That's three a month, something like that.
Mr. Ripley: Three times, 52, about 156, so it's about 25%of eligible time.
Ms. Oliver: When you factor in weather in the month, you're not gonna, it's not going to be
spread out like that, June is going to be a big month, or if it's weddings. I mean, you know, I
mean, it could be anything and then it says right here it says the use of speakers or monitors
permitted between the hours of 9 pm and 12, or there shall be none. And those hours are they
said, or for more than three hours in any one day. So I went out there,Mike, and we toured it
with the city staff, and toured the insides of the building and walk the grounds and walk to the
gravel gate, the roads and it's a beautiful venue and well kept and spend some time with Mr.
and Mrs. Bunch and their family was there, the granddaughter and they're very quiet family,
very well kept, I mean the property is absolutely exquisite, the amount of care that that this
family has put into this piece of property and only concern I have is that, that when we don't
help people with that own piece of property like this to preserve it, then it becomes a
neighborhood it gets developed and would lose in a lot of these things and if this helps the
Bunch and the City of Virginia Beach preserve such a beautiful piece of property,thenl would
want to help that happen with them,truly,and I understand the noise. But I think that,just my
feeling. I mean, it's not a band. It's Lewis McGehee. 9 o'clock. Yes.
Mr. Redmond:I would have a quick questions; first it's not going to work that way. It's not
going to be, you know, one every week or something like that, Dee is exactly right. Every
Saturday and Sunday in June, probably this venue is going to be booked, every Saturday and
Sunday in September and perhaps October, it's going to be booked, nobody is gonna be out
there in February. So it does not gonna work that way. It's just not how those outdoor venues
work and they're not going to have, somefantasy football draft out there, we're really
predominantly talking about weddings. So I would make one suggestion, and that is with
regard to the paving of that road, I think we not leave that 400 foot number etched in stone
before City Council, somebody can do this a little bit more precisely than us just looking at
Google Earth, doing a measurement and obviously in site plan review, that would be a good
time to figure that out. Ron's intent is more specific than just a number that we throw up at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. To the application,I have no concerns about safety. I've been through
12 years of this stuff and anytime somebody posts, some of they say, well safety is going to
suffer, ambulances can't get there, fire trucks will break down and I just don't see any reason
that would lead me to believe that's the case. This venue is two football fields from somebody's
house, there has to be at least some kind of places where you can have a wedding. And it be
16
permissible. Is it supposed to be 1000 feet or 5000 feet or something? I mean,you're that's it's
heavily wooded. It's already screened if you look at the,you know,if you look at the property,
it seems to me ideally,situated for this kind of use and but for the gravel road concern that Ron
rightly found a solution for in my view, it looks to me to be ideal for this kind of use. So I
don't have any problem whatsoever supporting it, we will support.
Ms. Oliver: Jack.
Mr. Wall: I think that the people that spoke had very valid concerns about the noise. I
mean, I live near Mount Trashmore, and I think that that their points are well taken because
sound does travel and I can hear it,you know,I live probably half a mile from where the typical
noise comes from, Mount Trashmore and I can hear pretty clearly, it's not, that noise may be
on a different level than you know,with this wedding has or wedding venue. However,I think
thatwe did set a precedence, you know, a couple months ago withvenues or locations such as
this,even smaller,new piece of property and it was agriculturally zoned,but it's surrounded by
single family residential. So there's precedence in the similar nature of the application last or
last April, and I feel that this,you know,has more conditions than in a previous application of
similar nature. So I would tend to support it. Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Yes,Mike.
Mr. Inman: Jan has pointed out to me,condition number 13 which says between the months
of April through October, no more than two outdoor events shall be held during the same
calendar week and not more than five weeks, during this time period shall multiple outdoor
events be held on the property, not real sure what that second clause means. I know this is an
attempt to place some little more limitation and spread out the events, it also says between
November and through March,no more than one outdoor event shall be held for calendar week.
I guess that's helpful,but I'm not sure someone can explain. Maybe I'm just not picking up on
it and not more than five weeks during this time period shall multiple outdoor events be held
on the property.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Inman we will have Mr. Kemp to describe the condition.
Mr. Kemp: I can explain why that was there is one word that is wrong and that's in the first
part of the sentence and that's each day.What that says is that no more than two outdoor events
can be held in the same day and then any weekend and it is limited to five weeks with full
multiple events.
Ms. Wilson: It can't happen.
Mr. Kemp: Okay, so not more than two outdoor events shall be held during the same week
with the exception of five times per year, they're allowed to.
Ms. Oliver: Please,please come forward.
Mr. Bourdon: That condition is supposed to,I think it says what it's supposed to say although
I haven't studied it other than earlier,what we have said is that there will never be two outdoor
events in the same day, that isn't going to happen and that there would be only five weeks
during the year,May and June,when there might be as many as two outdoor events in a given
week.
Mr. Rucinski: So a Saturday and a Sunday.
17
Mr. Bourdon: Or a holiday, Memorial Day, but during the remaining 47 weeks, there would
never be more than one outdoor event and that won't be one every week,but in any given week.
They don't want to work that hard. So we're saying never two in a day outdoor events and
never more than two in a week and that's only for five weeks during the course of a year.
Mr. Horsley: You are only allowed to have two events during a five week period?
Mr. Bourdon: Right. It could be any five weeks, but that's a part of the scheduling of weeks.
Mr. Horsley: Any five weeks except between November and March.
Mr. Bourdon: Well,yes. You know,we know weather wise; it's unlikely that's the reason that
was structured that way, but also during those months, there's less vegetation, there's less
buffering of sound, as well but again, it's also because it's not likely to be a demand as well.
Mr. Inman: I think that clause, second clause in first sentence of 13 needs to be reworked,
just for clarification,between now and I mean, I don't know that I can fix it right this moment.
Mr. Bourdon: I didn't write it but I knew what was intended and I thought it was okay, but I'm
not averse to staff writing it more clearly, certainly.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Kemp.
Mr. Kemp: The condition was, we can take a look at that and if it needs to be reworded or
tweaked between now and Council we will so that it will cover the intent that Mr. Bourdon
described.
Ms. Oliver: I think that's a great thing. Let's clean it up a little bit so that we all understand
it.
Mr. Inman: It needs some word shifting around in that clause and multiple outdoor events
shall not be held, no except during, work on it please.
Ms. Oliver: All right, anything else? Are we good? Mr. Redmond?
Mr. Redmond:Madam Chair, we are going to move approval of the application.
Ms. Oliver: I have a second.
Mr. Redmond:I'm sorry,with the initial portion up to the curve of that road how you guys want
to work that's up to you to be paved in asphalt.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Inman please go ahead.
Mr. Inman: I was gonna say, I'd like to see a limitation; I mean review time put on this is
like a year or something to come back?
Ms. Oliver: I think it's in there. Mr. Kemp. It's in there.
Mr. Bourdon: It's in here, it's a last condition, it's number 23.
Mr. Inman: Sony. It's on another page. I missed that.
Mr. Bourdon: Yes sir, it is in there. I apologize.
Mr. Wall: Actually, where's that in there? It's in the original one, it's not in the revised one.
18
Ms. Oliver: All right, so it is on,just double check. Yes,may continue to operate on the site
subject to an annual determination by the planning director etc, etc. Okay, on the original one.
Mr. Alcaraz: I will second Mr. Redmond's motion with the revision on the gravel, I mean,
asphalt pavement.
Ms. Oliver: Right. Yes.
Mr. Tajan: I'm sorry, Madam Chairman. The applicant had requested, condition 16 be
altered and there was no discussion about that condition. I know, Mr. Ripley referred that he
was not in favor of changing the condition, but there's no discussion on that condition.
Mr. Ripley: It's not change yet has it?
Mr. Tajan: No sir.
Mr. Ripley: This won't be used.
Mr. Tajan: Just to be clear for the record. The use of generators for the provision of food,
music and lighting shall be prohibited. So that condition is not changing. Is that correct?
Ms. Oliver: No.
Mr. Tajan: And just for clarification, Mr. Bourdon had offered to maintain the vegetation
that was existing on south of the Sajo Farm Road,you noted that that was going to be removed?
Would you state that as being a condition since it was offered in discussion? I'm just bringing
that up for?
Mr. Bourdon: Oh what I was proposing was an in depth discussion with Mr. Griggs and his
neighbors. If the commission believes that the best course of action is to pave that section of
road, then that's the answer.
Mr. Redmond:That was my answer and that's the nature of my motion.
Mr. Tajan: There was discussion about maintaining the existing vegetation on, it was
referenced as a buffer for the residences. I just want to make sure to see if that was still being
offered.
Mr. Bourdon: I don't,we have no intention of removing any vegetation that may be there. We
have a 20 foot ingress-egress easement. I think Mr. Ripley's and commission has to resolve
this.
Mr. Redmond:There was nothing about the generator in my motion, nor was there anything
about vegetation in my motion. I didn't intend for anything to be in there. My motion was
what I intended it to be sir.
Mr. Tajan: Understand.
Mr. Redmond: I second.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. I think we are ready.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, item number 12 Draybun Sajo, LLC has been approved.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: KI KENNELS, LLC [Applicant] KAREN BRUMLEY POOL [Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Commercial Kennel) for the property located at
6444 Knotts Island Road (GPIN 2337815635), COUNCIL DISTRICT —
PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2019
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Kennel on
a 3.24-acre parcel on Knotts Island Road in the southern part of Virginia Beach.
The purpose of the kennel is to provide overnight accommodations as well as
daytime care for up to eight dogs within an existing ancillary building on the
property. The applicant also proposes to have no more than four personal dogs
that will continue to stay within the residence. While the dogs to be kenneled will
be kept primarily indoors, they will also have access to a fenced outdoor kennel
area adjacent to the building. The adjacent neighbor's house to the north is
approximately 200 feet fom the kennel building.
The Zoning Ordinance requires that except where animals are kept in
soundproof, air-conditioned building, no structure occupied by animals shall be
located within 100 feet of an adjacent property line. The proposed kennel is 22
feet from the eastern property line and 37 feet from the northern property line
and, as such, the applicant is requesting a deviation to this setback requirement.
• Considerations:
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and is an
appropriate activity in the rural area of Virginia Beach. While the structure is not
fully soundproofed, it is insulated. The kennel will also be a significant distance
from the adjacent residence. Based on this, the deviation to the 100-foot setback
is recommended for approval by both the Staff and the Planning Commission. In
support of the deviation, the Planning Commission added Condition 6 to ensure
clarity regarding the deviation to the setback. This new condition is indicated by
the underlined text below. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as
Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known
opposition to this request.

• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission
placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of
9-0, to recommend approval of this request.
1. In addition to up to four of the owner's dogs, there shall be no more than eight
dogs for the commercial kennel kept on the property at any time.
2. The dog kennel structure, outdoor dog area, and fence shall be maintained in
a safe and sanitary condition.
3. All animal waste from the dog kennel shall be collected and disposed of in a
lawful manner on a daily basis.
4. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and
immunized.
5. All signage on the site must be in accordance with sign regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance.
6. The dog kennel structure shall be located no closer than 22 feet from a
property line as depicted on the exhibit on page 5 of this report. This location
is a deviation to the 100-foot setback required by the Zoning Ordinance.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Kennel on this 3.24-acre property located
in the southern part of Virginia Beach in the Princess Anne District. The purpose of the kennel is to provide
overnight accommodations as well as daytime care for up to eight dogs within an existing ancillary building on
the property.The applicant also proposes to have no more than four personal dogs on the site, which will stay
within the house and not in the kennel building.
• The property is developed with a single-family dwelling and an accessory building behind the dwelling.
• The dogs on the site for boarding and day care will be kept primarily indoors within the southern half of the
1,000 square foot building that is both heated and air-conditioned. The building has insulation installed on all
sides and along the ceiling to control the temperature and to assist with sound buffering. The northern half of
the building is planned to contain the property owner's office and area for storage.
• The adjacent neighbor's house to the north is approximately 200 feet from the kennel building. On the southern
side of the building, which faces a large cultivated field, a fenced outdoor kennel area is planned.
• Section 223 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that except where animals are kept in soundproof, air-conditioned
buildings, no structure occupied by animals shall be located within 100 feet of an adjacent property line.The
proposed kennel is located 22 feet from the adjacent property line on the east and 37 feet from the adjacent
property to the north and, as such, the applicant is requesting a deviation to this setback requirement.

for this site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
This request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Kennel is acceptable. In Staff's opinion, this kennel, which is
proposed on a rural 3.24-acre parcel and will be within a building approximately 200 feet from the nearest adjacent
dwelling, is compatible with the surrounding uses and is an appropriate activity in the rural area of Virginia Beach. While
the structure is not fully soundproofed, Staff supports a deviation to the setback requirement due to the distance from
the existing residence and the structure as well as the building being insulated providing some sound attenuation. Per
Section 221(i) of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council may approve the deviation. Staff recommends approval of this
adjustment and to the application subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. In addition to up to four of the owner's dogs,there shall be no more than eight dogs for the commercial kennel
kept on the property at any time.
2. The dog kennel structure, outdoor dog area, and fence shall be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.
3. All animal waste from the dog kennel shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful manner on a daily basis.
4. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and immunized.
5. All signage on the site must be in accordance with sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. The dog kennel structure shall be located no closer than 22 feet from a property line as depicted on the exhibit
on page 5 of this report.This location is a deviation to the 100-foot setback required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being in the Rural Area. The Rural Area is located in the
southern half of Virginia Beach, south of Indian River and Sandbridge Roads. It is characterized as low, flat land with
wide floodplains and altered drainage with a presence of agricultural and rural related activities including traditional and
specialty crop cultivation, tree farms, equestrian facilities, wetland banks, fish farms, and other similar uses. An
important objective of the Plan for the Rural Area is to protect and sustain all of Virginia Beach's valuable
environmental, scenic and agricultural resources in the Rural Area against inappropriate activities and intense growth
pressures. In Staff's opinion, the proposed Commercial Kennel is compatible with the surrounding uses and is an
appropriate activity in the rural area
