CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Adopt the City/School Revenue Sharing Formula Policy
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: The City Council first adopted a City/School Revenue Sharing
Policy (the "Policy”) in 1997. The purpose of the Policy was to provide a stable source of
local funding for the Schools. The Policy shared seven of the City's fastest growing
revenue sources between the City and Schools. Since that time, the formula has been
revised several times to reflect changes in State law and the sources of revenue
applicable to the Policy. The most recent revision to the Policy was adopted in FY 2014-
15 and expired on June 30, 2018.
In July of 2018, the City Manager, with the concurrence of the Superintendent, wrote a
letter to City Council recommending a one-year extension to the existing formula. This
extension was requested to allow the election in November 2018 to be completed prior
to the consideration of a revised revenue sharing formula and policy, which provided an
extension through June 30, 2019.
• Considerations: The City Manager and Superintendent met to define specific
guidelines that would be used to review revenue sharing formula options. The criteria
used are:
• Ensure information is available early in the budget process
• Facilitate long-term planning
• Simplify the current formula
• Share growth in the tax base
• Fairness and equity for both City and Schools
City and School staff developed three alternatives. Each alternative was reviewed using
the criteria outlined above. Based on each alternative's compatibility with the criteria,
staff recommends the use of a straight revenue sharing formula. Using the straight
revenue sharing formula, the City Manager and School Superintendent recommend to
the City Council and School Board a formula that:
1. Includes all local, non-dedicated, General Fund tax revenues consistent with the
current formula; and
2. Eliminates the uncertainty of the Standards of Quality (SOQ) required local
match as a formula component; and
3. Provides 46.75% of the formula revenues to the Schools.
On October 8th, the City Council and School Board received a joint briefing from City
and School staff outlining the recommendation. The recommended Policy implements
the straight revenue sharing formula approach. The School Board approved the
recommended policy at its November 12, 2019 meeting.
■ Public Information: At its October 15th meeting, City Council received public
input on the recommended revenue sharing formula. This item will be advertised using
the regular agenda process.
■ Recommendations: Approval of attached resolution and policy.

EXHIBIT A
Title: City/School Revenue Sharing Policy Index Number:
Date of Adoption: November 19, 2019 Date of Revision: Page: 1 of 5
1. Purpose
1.1. This policy (the "Policy") is to establish a procedure for allocating Local Tax Revenues between the City and
the Public School System revenues estimated to be available in any given fiscal year. It is the intent of this
Policy to provide a planning and allocation tool that yields sufficient funding to maintain Virginia Beach City
Public Schools'academic success as well as the City's strategic goals.
1.2. This Policy is designed to accomplish these goals by providing better planning for school funding by clearly
and predictably sharing local revenues. It provides a balance between the funding requirements for School
and City programming. This Policy seeks to provide a diverse stream of revenues that mitigates dramatic
changes in the economy by relying upon all local General Fund tax revenues that are under the City Council's
control, rather than a subset of those revenues. It also recognizes decisions by the City Council to dedicate
some of these same revenues to City and School priorities outside of the formula discussed herein.
Notwithstanding anything in this Policy, at no time shall the City's funding for Schools be less than that
required by Virginia law for the maintenance of an educational program meeting the Standards of Quality as
established by the General Assembly and required by the Virginia Constitution.
2. Definitions:
2.1. "City" refers to the City of Virginia Beach exclusive of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
2.2. "Schools" refers to the Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
2.3. "Local Tax Revenues" refers to all General Fund revenues generated by non-dedicated local taxes: real estate
(less dedications such as the Outdoor Initiative); Personal Property; General Sales; Utility; Virginia
Telecommunications; Business Professional and Occupational License (BPOL)Tax; Cigarette (less dedication
for Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP)); Hotel; Restaurant Meals; Automobile License; Bank
Net Capital; City Tax on Deeds; and City Tax on Wills.
2.4. "Dedicated Local Tax" refers to taxes that have been previously obligated by the City Council or State law to
support specific projects or programs. Examples of dedicated local taxes that are excluded from this Policy
include, but are not limited to: Tax Increment Financing District Revenues; Special Services Districts
Revenues; taxes that represent"net-new revenues"and are required to be redirected or are the basis for the
calculation of an incentive payment as part of a public-private partnership approved by City Council; taxes
established to support Open Space; Agricultural Reserve Program; Tourism Advertising Program; Tourism
Investment Program,referendum related taxes,and taxes used to support the BRAC project.A more complete
discussion of such dedications is found in the Executive Summary and Operating Budget each year.
2.5. "Formula Percentage" means the percentage applied to the Local Tax Revenues to arrive at the Formula
Revenues.
2.6. "Formula Revenues" means the amount of revenue the Policy provides for funding the Schools.
2.7. "General Fund Balance Reserve Policy" means the Policy adopted by the City Council on May 11, 2004,which
sets a range of 8% to 12% of the following year's budgeted revenues as the required undesignated fund
balance.
2.8. "Net-new Revenues"as used in Section 2.4 means public-private partnership revenues generated by a project
(or property)that exceed the Local Tax Revenues prior to the public-private partnership.
2.9. "Revenue Sharing Formula" refers to the method of sharing Local Tax Revenues between the City and the
Schools.
2.10."Budgeted Local Tax Revenues" refers to the appropriation of revenues by City Council in May each year for
the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1.
2.11."Actual Local Tax Revenues" refers to the actual collected revenues reflected in the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report(CAFR).
2.12."School Reversion Funds" refers to unused expenditure appropriations and end of the year adjustments to
the Revenue Sharing Formula revenues based on actual collections.
2.13."Schools Reserve Fund"means the fund established by the City Council on November 4,2013,which is subject
to School Board Policy#3-28 and is identified in the City's Financial System as Fund 098.
3. Procedure to Calculate the Revenue Sharing Formula:
3.1. Initial Estimate
3.1.1.In October, Budget and Management Services will develop an estimate of Local Tax Revenue for the
upcoming fiscal year.
3.1.2.Estimated Formula Revenues. Using the estimate in the preceding subsection, the City's Department of
Budget and Management Services will provide the estimated formula revenues to the Schools. The
Estimated Formula Revenues is the result of the Local Tax Revenues multiplied by the Formula
Percentage,which shall be 46.75%starting in FY 2020-21.
3.1.2.1.This formula calculation shall comprise the local contribution for the Schools pursuant to this
Policy.
3.2. Final Estimate
3.2.1.In February, the City's Department of Budget and Management Services will develop a final estimate of
the Local Tax Revenues. Using this estimate and the Formula Percentage, the City will derive a final
estimated amount of Formula Revenues, which will be included in the City Manager's Proposed
Operating Budget and communicated forthwith to the Schools.
3.2.2.The final estimated amount of Formula Revenues and the calculation thereof shall be clearly presented
in the City Manager's Proposed Operating Budget and forwarded to the City Council for consideration as
part of the annual budget process.
4. Procedure to Request Funding Above the Revenue Sharing Formula:
4.1. After receiving the Superintendent's Estimate of Needs, the School Board will notify the City Council by
resolution that it has determined additional local funding is required to maintain the current level of
operations or to provide for additional initiatives.The School Board's resolution will provide the following: 1)
that additional funding is required; 2) the amount of additional funding requested; 3) the purpose for the
additional funding;and 4)that the School Board supports an increase in the real estate tax(or other local tax)
should the City Council determine that such a tax increase is necessary.
4.2. The City Council, in its sole discretion may elect to provide revenue to Schools that is not consistent with this
Policy. Such action by the City Council may include consideration of existing dedications or alternate sources
of revenue or tax increases. If, after deliberation and appropriate public involvement, the City Council
determines that additional tax revenues are required, the City Council may adopt a tax rate increase to any
revenue stream within this formula to generate additional local tax revenue.
4.3. Should the City Council dedicate such increase in local taxes, that dedication will be treated in the same
manner as other Dedicated Local Tax. If the City Council does not dedicate the increased taxes, this revenue
will be part of the Local Tax Revenues for purposes of this Policy.
5. Deviations from Budgeted Local Tax Revenues:
5.1. If, at the end of the fiscal year, the Actual Local Tax Revenues exceed the Budgeted Local Tax Revenues, the
amount of excess revenue will be subject to the same treatment as similar revenues in the budget process for
the immediately preceding fiscal year. However, any excess revenue is first subject to the General Fund
Balance Reserve Policy. If such excess funds are not required for the General Fund Balance Reserve Policy,the
School Board may request that such funds be appropriated at the same time as the appropriation of reversion
funds,discussed in Section 6.3, below.
5.2. If, the City, through the Manager or their designee, anticipates at any time during the fiscal year that actual
revenues will fall below budgeted revenues, the School Board, upon notification by the City Manager or his
designee of such an anticipated shortfall, will be expected to take necessary actions to reduce expenditures
in an amount equal to the School's portion of the shortfall.
6. Reversion of Formula Revenues:
6.1. All other sources of funding shall be expended by the Schools prior to the use of Local Tax Revenues.
6.2. All balances of Local Tax Revenues held by the Schools at the close of business for each fiscal year ending on
June 30th (to include the accrual period) lapse and revert to the fund balance of the City's General Fund.
6.3. Reversion Appropriation Process: The School Board may request, by resolution, the reappropriation and
appropriation of funds resulting from the end of the fiscal year.This request should consider the following:
6.3.1.The use of funds whose appropriation has lapsed because of the end of the fiscal year and reverted to
the fund balance of the City's General Fund.See Section 6.2.
6.3.2.The use of excess funds discussed in Section 5.1.
6.3.3.The calculation of actual debt payments for the fiscal year recently closed as compared to the estimated
debt payments upon which the fiscal year's budget was appropriated. If the actual debt payment exceeds
estimated debt payments,the amount of the Schools' reversion funds will be reduced by this difference.
If actual debt is less than estimated debt payments, the amount of the Schools' reversion funds will be
increased by this difference.
6.3.4.The Schools' Office of Budget Development will confer with Budget and Management Services to verify
that there is sufficient fund balance in the General Fund to meet the City Council Fund Balance Policy. If
there is insufficient fund balance according to the Fund Balance Policy,the City Manager shall notify the
Superintendent of this condition.
6.3.5.The School Board resolution may request the use of excess or reversion funds for one-time purchases or
to be retained according to the applicable policy for the Schools Reserve Fund.
6.3.5.1.Upon receipt of the resolution, Budget and Management Services shall prepare an ordinance for
City Council's consideration of the School Board's request at the earliest available City Council
meeting.
6.3.5.2.Following City Council's action, Budget and Management Services shall notify the Schools of the
City Council's decision and shall adjust the accounting records accordingly.
7. Revision to the City/School Revenue Sharing Policy:
7.1. The Superintendent, City Manager, Schools' Chief Financial Officer, and the City's Director of Budget and
Management Services shall meet annually to discuss changes in State and Federal revenues that support
Schools'operations,any use of"one-time"revenues,and any adjustments made to existing revenues affecting
this formula. If they determine that an adjustment is needed, the City Manager and the Superintendent will
brief the City Council and the School Board respectively.
7.2. City Council may revise this Policy in its discretion after consultation with the School Board.
7.3. If no other action is taken by the City Council and the School Board,this Policy shall remain effective until June
30,2024 at which time it will be reviewed and considered for reauthorization.

AGENDA ITEM J/
ITEM: A Resolution to Delay the Requirement that a Pawnbroker be a Natural Person
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: Pawnbrokers are required to obtain a business license to operate
in the City. The General Assembly enacted 2019 Acts of Assembly c. 238 (the "2019
Legislation"), which requires a pawnbroker be a natural person. The 2019 Legislation
included an enactment ("Enactment 2") that permits a locality to delay the effective date
of the natural person requirement for one year. Of those pawnbrokers that obtained
2019 business licenses, there are both natural persons and corporate entities.
• Considerations: The Commissioner of the Revenue has received guidance that
the General Assembly will revisit the requirement that a pawnbroker be a natural person
in the 2020 Session, and the Commissioner believes it is prudent to delay the natural
person requirement as permitted by Enactment 2. From an operational and budgetary
perspective, this resolution maintains the status quo pending further discussion in the
2020 Session.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached resolution.
• Attachments: Resolution; 2019 Acts of Assembly c. 238

§54.1-4000. Definition of pawnbroker.
"Pawnbroker" means any natural person who lends or advances money or other things for profit on
the pledge and possession of tangible personal property, or other valuable things, other than securities or
written or printed evidences of indebtedness or title, or who deals in the purchasing of personal property
or other valuable things on condition of selling the same back to the seller at a stipulated price.
§ 54.1-4001. License required; license authorized by court; building designated in license;
penalty.
A. No natural person shall engage in the business of a pawnbroker without having a valid license
issued by the county, city, or town in which the pawnbroker conducts such business.
B. The circuit court of any county or city may authorize any county, city, or town to issue to any
natural person, who has not been convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude
in the last ten years, a license to engage in the business of a pawnbroker in that county, city, or town.
No such license shall be issued by any county, city, or town except with such authority. Prior to the
issuance of the license, the applicant shall furnish his date of birth, a sworn statement or affirmation
disclosing any criminal convictions or any pending criminal charges, whether within or without the
Commonwealth, and such other information to the licensing authority as may be required by the
governing body. The license shall designate the building in which the licensee shall carry on such
business.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: Resolution (1) Approving the Execution of a Dome Site Development
Agreement, (2) Authorizing Development and Execution of Supplemental
Documents, (3) Establishing Capital Project 9-068, "Dome Site Development
Acquisition", (4) Appropriating $9,000,000 to CIP 9-068, (5) Directing the City
Manager to Take Certain Supplemental Actions and (6) Making Certain
Findings Regarding the Preliminary Project Plan
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach (the "City"), through its City Manager and
staff, has engaged in extensive negotiations with representatives of Atlantic Park, Inc., a
Virginia corporation ("Developer"), regarding the development of a mixed-use project on
and around property owned by the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the
"VBDA") located in the Oceanfront Resort area commonly known as the "Dome Site".
At the request of the City, on February 21, 2017, the VBDA issued a Request for
Qualifications for the development of the Dome Site (the "RFQ"). After review of all
responses to the RFQ, the VBDA entered into an exclusive dealing agreement with
Venture Waves, LLC, a predecessor in interest to Developer, for the purpose of sharing
costs of certain studies related to the scope of development at the Dome Site.
On January 15, 2019, the City Council and the VBDA approved a non-binding term sheet
dated December 21, 2018 (the "Term Sheet") that addressed the proposed development
of a comprehensive multi-use project on and around the Dome Site (the "Project"). The
Term Sheet reflected the understanding of the City Council, VBDA and Developer of the
terms and conditions for the development of the Project and served as a basis for the
negotiation of a binding development agreement between the parties.
The parties have reached agreement on the terms and conditions for the development of
the Project (the "Development Agreement"), which is attached to the Resolution.
As set forth in the Development Agreement, the parties intend to develop supplemental
documents during the term of the Development Agreement to refine their respective rights
and obligations for the design, construction and operation of the Project (collectively, the
"Supplemental Documents"). The Supplemental Documents include a lease of the Dome
Site from the VBDA to Developer; a Parking Agreement governing the Developer's use
of some of the public parking to be constructed on the Project; condominium documents
to establish the condominium regime that will allow a multi-owner integrated mixed-use
project; a support agreement between the City and the VBDA; and a Loan Cure Rights
Agreement to be entered into between the VBDA and the Developer's lender or lenders
setting forth each party's rights in the event of a default by Developer. Other yet to be
determined documents necessary to implement the development of the Project, under
the terms of the Development Agreement, will also be drafted and executed by the parties
during the term of the Development Agreement. The Resolution as drafted authorizes
the City Manager to execute these documents so long as they are consistent with the
Development Agreement and so long as he has first consulted with City Council.
The VBDA owns approximately 10 acres of land for the Project. However, to realize the
full scope of the Project, additional land will need to be acquired from willing sellers. To
fund these acquisitions, the City proposes to appropriate $9 million from the fund balance
of the Tourism Investment Program Fund ("TIP") to Capital Project #9-068.
• Considerations: The re-development of the Dome Site has been a goal of both
City Council and many members of the public for several years. As detailed in the
Development Agreement, Developer proposes a mixed-use project with entertainment,
retail, office and parking uses, representing an anticipated private investment in excess
of $200 million. The Project would be built under a 60-year ground lease (with two
optional 20-year extensions) from the VBDA to Developer for nominal rent.
Public Amenities. In addition to the land for the Project, the City would contribute
approximately $58,050,000 for parking (to replace the existing surface parking, provide
sufficient parking for the Project and add additional public parking), a $7,500,000
contribution towards streetscapes (common areas in the Project such as plazas and
sidewalks), and $30,000,000 towards a new 3,500 person entertainment venue.
Incentive Payment. City staff, VBDA staff and Developer have also agreed on a proposed
annual incentive payment to the Developer of up to $5,000,000 for twenty years (the
"Incentive Payment"). This payment would come from project-generated: (i) sales and
use taxes (included taxes returned via Knight-Wagner, described below), (ii) meals taxes,
(iii) admissions taxes (exclusive of the entertainment venue), and (iv) additional
admissions taxes and real estate taxes assessed at the Project.
Community Development Authority. The parties also intend to petition the City Council for
the creation of a Community Development Authority ("CDA") as contemplated by §15.2-
5100, et seq. of the Code of Virginia. The CDA would issue bonds to finance public
elements of the Project (such as parking) and those bonds (the "CDA Bonds") will be
repaid with monies received from the Incentive Payment. During the first three years of
repayment of the CDA Bonds, if the Incentive Payment is insufficient to meet debt service,
Project-funded reserves would be used, followed by a City contribution from the TIP.
Thereafter, should the Incentive Payment be insufficient to cover debt service on the CDA
Bonds, Project-funded reserves would first be used and then additional real estate taxes
would be levied on the Project (and only the Project) to make those payments. The CDA
Bonds would not be considered debt of the City or the VBDA.
City Council intends that all of the City's obligations are to be satisfied from the TIP, and
not the City's unrestricted General Fund. Therefore, while the Development Agreement
contemplates the City's share of project-generated sales and use taxes to be 1 .5% of
those taxes, to the extent the City does not receive 1.5% of sales and use taxes from the
Commonwealth, the amount will be paid out of the TIP, not the General Fund.
Knight-Wagner. Section15.2-5928, et seq. of the Code of Virginia authorizes the
recapture of certain sales tax revenues from a sports and entertainment project at the
Virginia Beach oceanfront to assist in paying for that project. This legislation sponsored
by Delegate Knight and Senator Wagner ("Knight-Wagner") requires the City to submit a
report to the General Assembly 30 days prior to the execution of the Development
Agreement. The transaction will not move forward if the General Assembly objects to the
transaction. The summaries of the method of funding and economic benefits are attached
to this agenda item as Exhibits A & B, respectively, and these summaries would be
included in the transmittal to the General Assembly.
Recent changes to federal tax law would allow Developer to receive beneficial treatment
if City Council determines that the Preliminary Master Plan (defined in the Development
Agreement) and preliminary plans submitted by Developer in response to the RFP are
consistent with a master development plan of the City in effect prior to December 2017.
As re-development of the Dome Site into a mixed-use facility, with an emphasis on
entertainment, has been a long-term goal of the City and is reflected both in the Resort
Area Strategic Action Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan (both adopted prior to
December of 2017), the proposed Resolution contains findings to this effect.
The re-development of the Dome Site will lead to economic development around the
Project, attract visitors to the resort area in the off-season and expand the entertainment
options for the citizens of the City of Virginia Beach.
• Public Information: A public briefing of the terms of the Development Agreement
was given on October 29, 2019, and the Development Agreement, along with a summary
of that document, have been made available for inspection by the public since October
30, 2019. There was an opportunity for public comment at City Council's November 12,
2019. Separately, the November 12, 2019 agenda included the public hearing required
for the appropriation of an amount that exceeds 1% of the total appropriation in the Capital
Improvement Program. Having completed the public briefings, public comment, and
public hearing, this item will be advertised via the normal City Council agenda process.

3. The Project.
3.1. Preliminary Master Plan. The Parties have agreed on the Preliminary
Project Plan and the Preliminary Project Elements described on Exhibit 3 (the"Preliminary
Project Elements", and together with the Preliminary Project Plan, collectively,the
"Preliminary Master Plan"), and, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties pursuant to this
Agreement, the Parties intend to design, develop and construct the Project in accordance with the
Preliminary Master Plan. The Parties may adjust the layout and similar matters pertaining to the
Project and the details of the various components of the Project once the Supplemental Parcels
have been determined and during the course of preparing the Condominium Development Plan
and the Entertainment Venue Development Plan; however, any material deviation from the
Preliminary Master Plan is subject to approval by the Authority as further provided under
Section 5.2.1(a)(viii). The Parties acknowledge that prior plans for the Project provided for
certain facilities to be developed on the Virginia Beach United Methodist Church parking lot,but
that such parking lot will not be part of the Project. Accordingly, some or all of such facilities
may be relocated to property within the Potential Development Area or elsewhere within the
Project Land as may be mutually agreed by the Parties during the Due Diligence Phase, all as
more particularly described in this Agreement. Furthermore,the Parties agree that the square
footage of various components of the Project and the locations thereof may be adjusted if the
Supplemental Parcels are not added to the Project Land or if the Parties are unable to acquire
such Supplemental Parcels on a schedule that will allow them to be developed in the initial phase
of the Project(and not in a subsequent phases of future development),but the Parties agree to
preserve the mixed-use concept contemplated by the Preliminary Master Plan.
3.2. Improvements. The Developer(at its sole cost and expense)will construct
the Developer Improvements in accordance with the approved Condominium Development Plan.
The Developer Improvements contemplated by the Preliminary Master Plan are anticipated to
have a total estimated development cost(which shall refer to the soft and hard costs customarily
included and funded under a typical construction loan budget) of approximately Two Hundred
Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($230,000,000.00). Such total estimated development costs
may be adjusted based upon changes to the Preliminary Master Plan reflected in the Master Plan
and approved in accordance with this Agreement, including adjustment based on the inclusion
6
(or non-inclusion) of the Supplemental Parcels. The Developer will arrange for all equity and
financing necessary to develop and construct such Developer Improvements.
3.3. Construction Schedule. The Parties desire that the Project be completed in
time for a grand opening of the Project on or about the"Target Completion Date"to be agreed
upon by the Parties prior to the expiration of the Pre-Development Phase and set forth on the
Schedule of Project Deadlines attached as Exhibit 4 to this Agreement(the "Schedule of
Project Deadlines"); therefore,the Parties shall undertake their respective responsibilities with
respect to design and construction of the Project in good faith,using commercially reasonable
efforts and on such schedule as is reasonably required to achieve such desired grand opening
date. A preliminary construction schedule will be agreed upon by the Parties prior to the
expiration of the Pre-Development Phase and included as part of the Schedule of Project
Deadlines(as it may be subsequently amended by the Development Plans or by mutual written
agreement of the Authority and the Developer, the "Construction Schedule"). This
Construction Schedule is an estimate of the time required to perform the various components of
the construction process and is subject to modification due to Force Majeure events and
Authority Delays. The Parties will update and supplement the Schedule of Project Deadlines to
include the final, agreed-upon Construction Schedule(including Target Completion Dates for
various components of the Project and any phasing of the Project) as part of the Pre-
Development Conclusion Letter, which will be executed prior to proceeding with the
Construction Documents Phase.
3.4. Failure to Obtain Financing. If the Developer either(i) fails to provide the
Authority with a detailed report summarizing the Developer's progress towards securing
Developer's Financing Commitment(which report shall include letter(s) of interest from
lender(s) regarding such financing)by the expiration of the Due Diligence Phase, or(ii) fails to
secure Developer's Financing Commitment and deliver a certified copy of same to the Authority
by the "Outside Financing Commitment Date"to be established by the Parties and set forth in
a letter(the "Due Diligence Phase Completion Letter")to be executed prior to the expiration of
the Due Diligence Phase, then this Agreement and any agreements referred to in Section 5.14
that have been previously executed shall immediately terminate at the option of the Authority. If
the Authority elects to terminate this Agreement and all other agreements pursuant to this
7
Section 3.4, it shall so notify the Developer in writing, and neither the Authority nor the
Developer shall have any further rights or responsibilities hereunder or thereunder.
4. Due Diligence, Acquisition and Development of Project Land.

Diligence Phase, the Authority will diligently pursue obtaining fee simple title to the Additional
Land; or, in the alternative, the Authority or the Developer will diligently pursue binding
contractual arrangements to acquire the Additional Land on or before the Closing Date. It is the
intention of the Parties that the Additional Land be included in Project Land and leased to the
Developer pursuant to the Ground Lease. If for any reason, title to the Additional Land has not
vested in the Authority on or before the Closing Date, then the Parties agree to amend the
Ground Lease and the Condominium Documents to include the Additional Land in the Project
Land after the Closing Date when(and if) the Additional Land is acquired.

Authority if CDA Bond Construction Proceeds remaining after full funding of the Parking
Construction Fund under the foregoing item(a) are insufficient to complete the construction of
such Authority-owned Streetscapes; and(c) with respect to any remaining portion of the City
Contribution, to the Project Construction Fund for the benefit of the Developer to pay costs of
the Other Project Components. Amounts in the Project Construction Fund may be spent
simultaneously with amounts in the Parking Garage Construction Fund and the Streetscape

the Project Construction Fund will occur only after full funding of the Developer's equity for the
applicable portion of the Project and will either occur prior to or on a pro-rata basis with
disbursements of the Construction Loan as determined by the Authority in advance of closing of
the Construction Loan . Disbursements from the Project Construction Fund will be made
pursuant to the same draw process used by Developer's Construction Lender.

Substation Parcel to the Ground Lease and Project in accordance with this Section 6.15. The
Parties may mutually agree to extend the Option Period for up to three(3) additional years
(which extension may be conditioned upon payment by the Developer of a"carrying cost"option
fee to be negotiated). Upon acquisition of such the Substation Parcel and the removal of any
improvements and completion of any environmental remediation required to permit
development,the Authority will notify the Developer of the date that the Substation Parcel will
be available for development(the "Availability Date"). At any time during the Option Period,
the Developer may notify the Authority of its desire to add the Substation Parcel to the Project,
and upon the Developer presenting a plan for development of the Substation Parcel acceptable to
the City Council and the Authority(as evidenced by an amendment to this Agreement executed
within the Option Period),the Substation Parcel shall be added to the premises leased under the
Ground Lease and incorporated into the Project in consideration of additional rent of$100.00.

included within the Special Service District.
8.1.2 Special Service District Adjustments. The Authority shall request
that the City review the tax rate for the Special Service District as required by Applicable Law,
but at least as frequently as every third year. To the extent that the annual Special Service
District Revenues deviate from the aggregate annual amount needed to satisfy in full all of the
annual obligations of the City or Authority as to the Project(taking into consideration the need to
fund reasonable reserves), the Authority, at any time and from time to time,will be entitled to
request that the City adjust appropriately the tax rate applicable to the Special Service District to
fund those expenses of the Special Service District that are to be supported by the Special
Service District Levy. The Authority will request the City staff to present the cost data to be
considered in connection with calculating its recommendation as to the adjustment to the
Developer. The Developer consents to any such requests by the Authority and acknowledges that
the City in its sole discretion may exact increases or decreases in the Special Service District rate
for such purposes.
8.1.3 Additional Special Service Districts. From time to time,the
Special Service District may need to be expanded, or additional Special Service Districts may
need to be created, to support the obligations as to the Project that may be supported by a Special

ensure that the proceeds of the CDA Bonds will be applied to finance the costs of the CDA
Facilities, to pay capitalized interest on the CDA Bonds during the Construction Period,to fund
the Debt Service Reserve Fund for the CDA Bonds and to pay the costs of issuance of the CDA
Bonds. The Parties agree to request that the construction portion of the CDA Bond proceeds be

the CDA Facilities will be constructed to benefit the property comprising the CDA District and
that the CDA Bonds will be secured in part by the Special Assessments to be imposed on such
property. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties and the City, the CDA District
shall include all of the Dome Properties. As any Additional Land is added to the Project Land,
such Additional Land shall also be added to the CDA District, except as otherwise agreed to by
the Parties. The Developer consents to the inclusion of all of the Dome Properties and any
Additional Land in the CDA District and to the imposition of Special Assessments on all taxable
real property in the CDA District,regardless of whether such real property is owned or subject to

efforts to negotiate, approve and enter into, as applicable, any agreements or other
documentation necessary to impose and provide for the collection of the Special Assessments.

34
debt service on the CDA Bonds and the administrative expenses of the CDA,the Developer shall
irrevocably assign all of its right, title and interest in the Performance Grant Payments to the
CDA. Notwithstanding the limitations in Sections 6.10.1 and 6.10.3,the City will allow the total
amount of Performance Grant Revenues provided to the CDA to be increased over the
$5,000,000 cap to pay the actual costs of administration of the CDA,which is expected to not
exceed $75,000 annually, from its inception through its dissolution, and the City may(at its
election) allow the total amount of Performance Grant Revenues provided to the CDA to be
further increased to provide additional funds for early prepayment of principal of the CDA
Bonds as permitted by the terms of the Indenture. An account will be established by the CDA
Board for the receipt and payment of the funds necessary for the costs of administration of the
CDA.

(a) The CDA Bonds will be issued contemporaneously with
the execution of the Ground Lease and the delivery thereof to the Developer and the recordation
of the Memorandum of the Ground Lease,the Condominium Documents and the Construction
Loan Deed of Trust,provided that the closing of the CDA Bonds may occur after the recording
of these documents to allow for the completion of normal and customary bond transaction
elements, including appropriate disclosures to purchasers of the CDA Bonds.

exceed $5,000,000 and will be structured to achieve level debt service over the final 20 years of
their term.
(c) Subject to the maximum annual debt service limitation set
forth in Section 8.3.8(b), the CDA Bonds will be issued in such principal amount,bear interest at
such rates and be sold at such prices as to maximize the amount of proceeds available to finance
the costs of the CDA Facilities,to fund the deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Fund and the
Capitalized Interest Fund and to pay the costs of issuance of the CDA Bonds.
(d) The CDA Bonds will be secured by the Performance Grant
Payments assigned by the Developer to the CDA. To the extent Performance Grant Payments are
insufficient to pay the debt service during the Pre-Stabilization Period, the required debt service
shall be paid as set forth in Section 6.10.5. Thereafter, to the extent Performance Grant Payments
are insufficient to pay the debt service on the CDA Bonds, the CDA Bond Trustee will draw first
on moneys in the Revenue Stabilization Fund and then on moneys in the Debt Service Reserve
Fund to pay debt service on the CDA Bonds. The CDA Bonds will be further secured by the
Special Assessments, installments of which will be collected in the event, and to the extent,that

basis of the Developer Event of Default to the Construction Lender at the last known address for

GARAGE PARKING AGREEMENT
The Garage Parking Agreement will be a lease of parking spaces in the applicable
parking garage supporting the facility in question. The parking to be leased will be for the
residential components of the Project only. The number of parking spaces will be calculated
based upon one(1) space per residential unit. Rent for the parking spaces will be one dollar
($1.00)per space per year plus reimbursement of applicable share of operation and maintenance
costs (the"O&M Maintenance Contribution") and contributions towards a"Replacement
Reserve" (the "Replacement Reserve Contribution"). The O&M Maintenance Contribution

Garage Parking Agreement will provide for a means of special access for residential occupants
through the access control system for the applicable garage.

lease both reserved and unreserved parking spaces in the applicable garage serving the office
facility in question at the then-current rates for City/Authority owned and controlled parking
garages, as such policies may be modified from time to time.

reserved spaces for specific user groups. The Garage Parking Agreement will specify terms and
conditions for a limited amount of reserved spaces that may be purchased by both residential and
office occupants at then-current market rates. The Garage Parking Agreement will create general
parking rules, establish user access and time restrictions, specify terms for parking rates and
contain provisions defining and addressing payment of the O&M Maintenance Contribution and
Replacement Reserve Contribution.
Users of other components of the Project will obtain access and parking in accordance
with then-current procedures for access and parking for the general public. The Authority will

under the Development Agreement or any other Transaction Document which is not susceptible
of being cured by such acquirer.
(c) The Construction Lender's address for Notice purposes in accordance with
this Agreement is as follows:
Construction Lender:

and thereafter commence or resume the construction of the Improvements pursuant to the
Development Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) If the Construction Lender elects to take over and continue
construction of the Improvements pursuant to the Development Agreement and cure any
Developer Event of Default,then the Construction Lender shall,within ninety(90)days following

associated Developer Improvements and thereafter diligently prosecute such foreclosure to
completion or (ii) pursue such other remedies at law or in equity which the Construction Lender
may have available and to cause the commencement and/or resumption of construction of the
Improvements in accordance with the Development Agreement within sixty (60) days after
obtaining title thereto. The Authority acknowledges that the Construction Lender may be delayed
in proceeding in accordance with the foregoing due to either(A) any requirement to obtain relief
from any automatic stay in bankruptcy or other creditor's rights proceeding,or(B)any requirement
to obtain a final non-appealable judgment in any other proceeding or litigation the resolution of
which is a prerequisite to the Construction Lender obtaining possession of the Developer Units,
title to the above or otherwise effecting a cure.
(iii) If the Construction Lender fails to exercise its option described in
subsection(i) above within ninety(90) days after its receipt of a Declaration of Default Notice, or
if the Construction Lender exercises such option,but thereafter fails to diligently and continuously
pursue such efforts to obtain possession of the Developer Units or to resume such construction
within sixty (60) days after it obtains such possession, then the Authority may, at any time
thereafter, by written notice to the Developer and the Construction Lender, terminate the right of

contracts with the General Contractor(s), and convey all or any portion of the Improvements to a
third party to complete such Improvements and such other actions as may be necessary or advisable
to complete all or any portion of the Improvements.
(c) In addition to the above, if the Developer Event of Default is (x) an event
described in Section 13.3.5 of the Development Agreement, or (y) an event described in either
Section 13.3.6 or Section 13.3.7 of the Development Agreement(any such event being referred to
as a "Termination Default Event"), then if such Termination Default Event has not been cured

Documents(the"Termination Event")by giving written notice(a"Termination Exercise Notice")
to the Developer and the Construction Lender at any time prior to the cure thereof, whereupon (i)
if such Termination Default Event is the Termination Default Event described in Section 13.3.5 of
the Development Agreement, the Ground Lease will terminate and ownership of the Developer
Units will automatically vest in the Authority subject to the lien of the Deed of Trust held by the
Construction Lender, without payment of any consideration or other compensation to the
Developer; or (ii) if such Termination Default Event is a Termination Default Event described in
either Section 13.3.6 or Section 13.3.7 of the Development Agreement, (x)the Ground Lease will
terminate and ownership of the Developer Units will automatically vest in the Authority without
payment of any consideration or other compensation to the Developer, and (y) title to all
Improvements constructed by the Developer will transfer to the Authority, both subject to the lien
of the Deed of Trust held by the Construction Lender, without payment of any consideration or
other compensation to the Developer; provided, however, under either circumstance pursuant to
either(i) or(ii) above, the lien of such Deed of Trust shall be limited to an amount not to exceed
the Mortgage Payoff Amount defined in the Development Agreement. The rights of the Authority
under this Paragraph 3(c) shall be a second lien on the Developer Units and any Improvements

notice(a"Termination Notice")of the occurrence of the Termination Event and the right to acquire
the Developer's former interest in the Developer Units and the Improvements and to take over and
assume the Developer's rights and obligations under the Development Agreement. The
Construction Lender must make such election within ninety (90) days after such Termination
Notice and recommence construction of the Improvements within one hundred twenty(120) days
after such Termination Notice (subject to extension as may be necessary for the Construction
Lender to obtain relief from any automatic stay in bankruptcy or to diligently pursue foreclosure)
and thereafter diligently pursue the Improvements to Completion. Such termination right for the
Authority shall continue to apply following any such assumption, except that the deadlines under
this Agreement (and the Development Agreement) will be extended for the period of time from
the date of such Termination Notice to the date the Construction Lender recommences construction
of the Improvements.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
Construction Lender does not exercise its rights set forth in Paragraph 3(b) above, and the

ITEM: A Resolution to Reestablish the Citizens Committee on Boards and
Commissions
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: The City has been well-served by the hundreds of citizen
volunteers who comprise the City's boards, commissions, committees, authorities,
councils and other advisory bodies. In 2003, a City Council-appointed Citizens
Committee on Boards and Commissions made recommendations regarding all aspects
of the City's boards and commissions. Since then, most of the recommendations have
been implemented, but the boards and commissions could benefit from a fresh look
aimed at identifying potential improvements to the appointment process and best
practices for board operations and staffing.
• Considerations: The committee shall serve in an advisory capacity to the City
Council, and the City Council shall appoint its members. The Committee shall consist of
up to eleven members and should include residents who have served on a City board or
commission, including a designee of the Process Improvement Steering Committee.
Staff support shall be provided by the City Clerk's Office, the Office of Volunteer
Resources, the STIR Office, and the City Attorney's Office.
• Public Information: Via the normal Council agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $227,136 from the Virginia Department
of Criminal Justice Services
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background: The City has been awarded $227,136 from the Virginia Department
of Criminal Justice Services through the Emergency Law Enforcement Assistance
Program. 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
reimbursement funding for first responder overtime related to the city's response as a
result of the May 31, 2019 event for the time period in which the Emergency Operations
Center was open, May 31- June 12, 2019.
As the eligible overtime expenditures related to the May 31, 2019 incident were incurred
in FY 2018-19, this funding will be appropriated to a non-departmental dedicated reserve.
In the event the public safety departments have additional overtime need in the current
fiscal year related to the incident, funding can be transferred to the departments from the
reserve.
• Considerations: During FY 2018-19, all overtime expenditures were absorbed
by the existing operating budgets of the affected departments. Had the May 31 , 2019
event not occurred, unexpended appropriations would have otherwise fallen to General
Fund fund balance.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: GEE'S GROUP, LLC [Applicant] PRINCESSBORO DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY, INC. [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit(Mini-Warehouse)
on property located 1964 Fisher Arch (GPIN 2414219632), COUNCIL
DISTRICT— PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
• Background:
This item is being deferred due to the posted agenda not correctly identifying the
property owner.
The subject 2.57-acre site is located on Fisher Arch near the Sandbridge Road
and Princess Anne Road intersection. The property is zoned B-2 Community
Business District. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop
the site with a mini-warehouse building. In addition, a small office building is also
proposed, which is allowed by right in the B-2 District.
The submitted elevations depict the mini-warehouse building as a two-story
structure. However, internally the building will have three floors with a total height
of 35 feet. The facades include a neutral color brick base and metal panel walls,
storefront windows, porches, shingle roofing and decorative doors and shutters.
The building will meet all the required setback and dimensional requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance. A minimum of 21 parking spaces are required by the Zoning
Ordinance. A total of 39 parking spaces are provided with one vehicular access
point from Fisher Arch.
• Considerations:
The site is located within the Transition Area as designated by the Comprehensive
Plan. The Comprehensive Plan recommends low intensity, low impact uses in the
Transition Area that will serve the surrounding community. The mini-warehouse
use generates much less traffic than a similarly sized commercial development
and has little impact on existing infrastructure, thereby addressing this
recommendation. In addition, it is anticipated that many of the users of the facility
will live and work in the nearby area.
Consistent with the Design Guidelines for the Transition Area, the site layout is
centered on the buildings, with meaningful open space and required buffers
provided. The buildings will have a "rural transitional' vernacular architectural style
with elements such as pitched roofs, metal roof accents, and front porches. While
Gee's Group, LLC
Page 2 of 4
the building footprint of 15,000 square feet is larger than the 10,000 square foot
maximum recommended in the Guidelines, the footprint is comparable in size to
that of other buildings in the immediate area. The building's massing is mitigated
with a unique architectural design that is more reflective of a barn, rather than a
typical storage facility. The building will maintain a substantial setback from Fisher
Arch with extensive interior and streetscape plantings well above the minimum
requirements.
A Preliminary Stormwater Analysis was submitted for review as the property is in
the Southern Rivers Watershed. Staff is confident that the stormwater
management strategy has the ability to comply with the stormwater requirements.
The submitted analysis identified a "dry grass swale detention" facility to manage
stormwater quantity. This type of facility calls only for grass cover and no large
trees would be allowed within the limits of the facility per Public Works
Specifications and Standards. To meet stormwater quality requirements, the
applicant is purchasing off-site nutrient credits. It should be noted that the
modeling provided to Staff was based on a dry detention facility design and did not
account for any evapotranspiration. The only reference to the use of trees as a
stormwater management design feature was a sentence included in the narrative
stating that evapotranspiration in the stormwater facility could assist with flooding.
However, as the facility is designed as a quantity only facility, no trees would be
incorporated into the design and there is no analysis supporting a claim that it will
utilize evapotranspiration methodology. Further details pertaining to the request,
as well as Staffs evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
As the property is located in the Transition Area, the TA/ITA Citizen Advisory
Committee was briefed on the proposal. There were two speakers in opposition
at the Planning Commission public hearing. They questioned whether the use is
appropriate in the Transition Area and noted concerns regarding stormwater
management.
• Recommendations:

Background and Summary of Proposal
• This application was deferred at the November 14, 2018 Planning Commission public hearing to provide
additional time for the applicant to address the preliminary stormwater strategy.
• In 2008,this site was conditionally rezoned from AG-2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-2 Community
Business District to allow development of the property with specific proffers regarding building design, signage,
and on-site lighting.
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to develop the site with a climate controlled mini-
warehouse building. In addition, a separate smaller office building for medical or general use is also proposed,
which is allowed by right in the B-2 Zoning District.
• The submitted site layout depicts development of a 78,400 square-foot mini-warehouse at the rear of the
property, a 4,800 square-foot office building near the front of the site, and a dry detention stormwater
management facility along the east side of the property. The required streetscape plantings along Fisher Arch
are depicted on the concept plan.
• The parking area is located between the mini-warehouse and the office building, with landscaping incorporated
throughout the parking area. A minimum of 21 parking spaces are required by the Zoning Ordinance based on a
requirement for the mini-warehouse of one space per employee on the maximum working shift (3 spaces); and
one space per 270 square feet (18 spaces) for medical office. If general office,the requirement is reduced to
one space per 330 square feet and the overall requirement is 18 spaces. A total of 39 parking spaces are
provided. There will be one vehicular access point from Fisher Arch.
• The submitted elevations depict the mini-warehouse building as a two-story structure. However, the building
will have three floors with a total height of 35 feet. The office building is a one-story structure. The facades
include a neutral color brick base and metal panel walls, storefront windows, porches, shingle roofing and
decorative doors and shutters. The buildings will meet all the required setback and dimensional requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The administrative office for the mini-warehouse will be housed within the facility.The drive aisle and loading
areas will extend along the west side of the building and access will be controlled via a secured gate.
• A proposed freestanding sign is depicted on the submitted site layout. In addition, there will be two building
mounted signs with channel lettering.
• Operating hours for the mini-warehouse will be from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., seven days a week, with up to three
employees on site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
As the site is located within the Transition Area as designated by the Comprehensive Plan,Staff has reviewed this
request for conformance to the Comprehensive Plan's Transition Area Design Guidelines. Below is a summation of that
analysis.
Development and Uses
Design Guidelines recommend that non-residential development should be high quality and limited to low-impact and
low-intensity uses that are scaled to support the needs of nearby residential neighborhoods and are located at a major
roadway intersection. In Staffs view,the site layout and the elevations are in substantial conformance with this section
of the Design Guidelines.The resulting development is located near the intersection of Fisher Arch and Sandbridge Road
and will serve the needs of nearby residential neighborhoods.
Design Principles
This section of the Design Guidelines recommends that development of nonresidential buildings and sites should employ
low-impact development techniques and creative design for stormwater management facilities and design open space
areas as amenities. Building design should be kept low in scale with a maximum of two stories and should have a
footprint of no more than 10,000 square feet. Materials, site design and landscaping forms should be reflective of the
existing traditional rural character.
In Staffs view,and as depicted on the site layout and the elevations,the application addresses most of this section of
the Design Guidelines.The proposed layout is centered on the buildings, with meaningful open space and required
buffers provided in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. As recommended in the Guidelines, the architectural style
of the buildings is consistent with a "rural transitional"vernacular with architectural elements that include the use of
pitched roofs, metal roof accents, and front porches typical of rural buildings. While the footprint of the mini-
warehouse building, at 28,000 square feet, is larger than what is recommended in the Guidelines,the footprint is
comparable in size to that of a number of other buildings in the immediate area. The building massing is mitigated with
a unique architectural design and elevations showing the mini-warehouse as two stories, rather than its actual three
Gee's Group, LLC
Agenda Item D2
Page 3
stories. The building will maintain a substantial setback from Fisher Arch and proposed landscape screening, buffering,
and streetscape will help to ensure conformance with the intent of the Design Guidelines.
Land Use Policies
Given conformance to the Design Guidelines,the use will be compatible with the land use policies for the Transition
Area. Given the nature of the proposed development,the architecture is unique and while less conventional than more
typical mini-warehouse facilities will result in an attractive facility that maintains traditional and rural architectural
elements found in the area. Mini-warehouses also have an advantage over many other similarly sized commercial
development in that they generate less traffic.
Staff finds that the use will be in keeping with the proffers approved with the original conditional rezoning of the
property. These proffers reference architecture, signage, landscape screening, and buffering. The architectural
features, building materials and quality of building design are comparable with the renderings attached to the proffers.
Freestanding signage cannot be greater than six feet in height,with no internal illumination. Category IV landscape
screening and buffering must be provided.
As recommended by the Comprehensive Plan,the applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage study to the
Development Services Center(DSC)outlining their proposed stormwater strategy for the subject site. As a result of the
review,the DSC Staff finds that the proposed conceptual stormwater strategy has the potential 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 the site plan review process.
Based on the evaluation above,Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request, subject to the
conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the exhibit entitled, "CONDITIONAL
USE PLAN,SANDBRIDGE MARKETPLACE," dated July 12, 2019, prepared by Gaddy Engineering Services, LLC,
which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. The elevations of the proposed buildings shall be in substantial conformance with the exhibits entitled, "NEW
FACILITY, SANDBRIDGE MARKETPLACE," dated March 1, 2019, prepared by Covington Hendrix Anderson
Architects, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
3. The storage units shall be used only for the storage of goods. The units shall not be used for office purposes,
band rehearsals, residential dwellings, auto repair,or any other purpose not consistent with the storage of
goods. There shall be no exterior(outside)storage of items on the property.
4. There shall be no mechanical equipment permitted between the storage building and the eastern property line.
5. There shall be no electric or diesel power generator or generator fueled by any other sources of energy located
outside the building.
6. Landscape material shall be installed on site in compliance with the requirements of the Virginia Beach
Landscape Guide.All landscaping shall be shown on the site plan and reviewed by the Planning Department,
Development Service Center's Landscape Architect upon the formal Site Plan review process. Landscaping

(a) Category IV landscape screening along the east property line;
(b) Foundation landscaping along the front of the storage building adjacent to the parking area;
(c)Street frontage landscaping, a minimum ten (10)feet in width, installed along Fisher Arch.
Gee's Group, LLC
Agenda Item D2

7. All exterior lighting shall be low intensity and residential in character. Consistent with Section 237 of the City
Zoning Ordinance, all outdoor lights shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the mini-warehouse
premises; said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded and focused away from all adjoining property. Any
outdoor lighting fixture shall not be erected any higher than 12 feet. A Photometric Plan shall be submitted
during the site plan review process to ensure that all lighting on the site be shielded and directed downward to
limit the amount of overspill outside the property's boundary.
8. Signage shall be limited to one monument-style freestanding sign, and two building signs as shown on the
submitted building elevations and renderings. The monument-style sign shall not exceed six feet in height and
shall be constructed using materials to match the building.
9. All signage shall be externally lit and no neon lighting visible from any adjoining property shall be permitted to
be placed on the Property.
10. There shall be no permanent dumpster located on the property.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as the Transition Area. The Transition Area serves as a unique
land use buffer for the low density Rural Area from the more densely developed Suburban Area by promoting open
space and low-density development. Proposed development within the Transition Area should continue the tradition of
high quality development by adhering to the planning and design principles cited in the Transition Area Design
Guidelines. Non-residential uses in this area should be limited to low-impact and low-intensity with open space and be
"neighborhood-serving".They should be located at major roadway intersections or part of a mixed-use plan of
development located at the entrance or the interior of the neighborhood around a central green or open space. Focus
should be placed on an attractive streetscape view into the site from the roadway. Parking areas should be situated
behind or on the side of buildings and should incorporate landscaping throughout the parking areas. Open space should
comprise a minimum of 30 percent for non-residential development and provide a balance of both "active" and
"passive" open space areas.The preferred architectural design is a "Rural Transitional" theme.
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. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.

Item#D2
Gee's Group, LLC
Conditional Use Permit(Mini-Warehouse)
1964 Fisher Arch
District—Princess Anne
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Yes ma'am. Our last agenda item is D2 Gee's Group LLC. It's an application for
a conditional use permit for a mini warehouse on property located at 1964 Fisher
Arch in the Princess Anne District.
Mr. Weiner: I'm going to be abstaining from this item as the applicant is a client, per the city
attorney, so I'm going to leave.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Enjoy your Labor Day Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Graham: I want to say something; I'm going to abstain because I have a competing use in a
nearby market, so I am going to abstain as well.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Graham and Mr. Weiner have left the meeting.
Mr. Bourdon: All right,Madam Chair,members of the Commission for the record Eddie Bourdon,
Virginia Beach attorney. I'm here representing both the applicant,the Gee's Group
and Mr. David Gianascoli, who's one of the principals and is here with us this
afternoon along with the project civil engineer Michael Gaddy. I've also had the
privilege of representing the owners of this property going all the way back not to
the 1950s when they first acquired the property,but David Callum and Mike Fisher,
1
who a number of you, I'm sure knew where the developers of this Sandbridge
Marketplace and some of the development that long preceded this properties at the
very northern boundary of the transition area adjacent to a lot of significant
additional commercial and residential development. The Food Lion Shopping
Center, which was developed back in the, I believe, late 60s or early 70s. It's over
55,000 square feet and there's the Marketplace that was rezoned 2008-2009
conditionally with proffers under the comp plan as it existed at the time. At that
point, a subdivision plan and subdivision construction plans were all submitted to
the city in 2009, reviewed and approved and all the infrastructure including
stormwater management infrastructure was all approved, all bonded, all built, all
accepted and a number of the properties within the Marketplace have developed
subsequent to that time, including the Tractor Supply. The Tractor Supply is
basically about 15,000 square feet, Anderson's Nursery, and these are ones that
needed use permits, are 24,000 square feet of building and over 11,000 square feet
of greenhouse under roof. All of those properties have developed at the time these
storm water systems for this rezoned B2 property was approved, and all of the
engineering was for 75%impervious cover. I think y'all heard that this morning in
the pre-briefing. The Jana Scolese undertook this project over 18 months ago and
had meetings with staff, meetings with the ITA committee. They had great
feedback. We have a proposal today with a two story structure with three inside
which is very typical of air conditioned, self storage facilities, the newer ones, and
the better ones. There's a big demand, especially in the Sandbridge community in
this area. That's what's brought this on so we've had all these meetings. Well, once
2
we got to the point where everybody really liked the barn, what it looks like is the
rural vernacular, nothing like any facility like this I've ever seen. Then we've been
involved with the stormwater folks for close to a year. As I said,millions of dollars
invested, that's taken all of this infrastructure put in place and if this didn't need a
use permit,this would be approved because we have only 51%impervious surface.
We have added additional BMP on the site, substantial BMP on the site. It meets
all current guidelines, it addresses sea level rise, taken into account and Seth can
talk to you about that if you all want to hear from him, but the owners of this
property who've invested lots of money and have lots of debt, they are going to
develop this property. This isn't new development. This is something that's been
approved for over 10 years,as far as the zoning and almost that for the infrastructure
and it's been built and exists. So we're bettering the situation in every regard, the
use from a traffic standpoint, lot less traffic than your typical B-2 use by a long
shot. We again have reduced the impervious surface down to 51%. The 2008
proffers at that point, I don't think it was in the comp plan this 10,000 square foot
idea because nothing of that appears in the write-up, nothing of that appears in any
of the write-ups of Anderson's Tractor Supply,the 45,000 square foot Harris Teeter
development on the opposite corner. I think that was put in recently and really is
because there's not really anything else in the transition area that could be developed
commercially other than around Pungo. And I think that's where that came from.
That's my recollection anyway, but there's nothing in our comp plan, excuse me in
our proffers or any of the write-ups of any of the development that's occurred with
use permits about this 10,000 square foot idea, but it's in there now. I think it was
3
put in there the last time around because the focus was on potential development
around Pungo,under the study that this council commissioned. So we spent all this
time and effort on stormwater work and it's not new development. Again as I said,
I'm completely sympathetic as our my clients to the idea we don't want this to flood,
never has flooded. We haven't had any flooding problems. In fact, this property
was submitted for use permit application many years ago for a borrow pit because
it's sandy soil. It's a lot of sand under this piece of property. The whole marketplace
piece of property drains extremely well. It's not primarily the hydric soils that were
referenced earlier. The pipes that Steve Barnes showed you all this morning, that's
a project for the city on Sand Bridge Road widening. My clients have cooperated
every time that that's needed to take place haven't gone to court with the city in any
way, have settled everything with regard to additional lands the city has needed,
they've worked with the city. Mr. Callum and Mr. Fisher I neglected to mention
both passed away in the same year with leukemia unrelated but their spouses and
families have inherited this property and it's really been a struggle for them and if
this again didn't require a use permit, if it was by right then it would have already
been approved because we meet all the current stormwater requirements which are
far stricter than when it was approved or then at a time in the past and we won't be
causing any additional flooding. All the water does go to the former borrow pit,
visual BMP, the pit that is called now Red Mill Pond. It does go north, it's design
and from day one has gone north, it does eventually work its way back around to
go into Back Bay, but it's a long process, takes days and days. So this is not a
rezoning for something new on this property that is going to develop. We think
4
this is a very good development where there is a need for in the area. You know,
I can't say it enough and I'm little disappointed when I heard Jared say on the last
application. What Steve is after here, I couldn't agree with more. But the reality is
the snarky comment about I told you so the City of Virginia Beach has slowed down
growth in this area of the city for the last 25 years, very slow growth. I don't know
whether Jared has been to Chesapeake or Suffolk or all the communities in Eastern
North Carolina, whose storm water goes into the same sound system. And Steve
and I've talked about this at some length. You know,it's a regional issue. It matters
to us a lot. It matters to a lot of my friends and clients a lot. You know, we want
to get it right, but we are not the cause. We may have a little bit to do with it, but
Virginia Beach is not the only cause and so I don't think the biggest cause of what
has happened over the course of the last few years because you look at the level
developments, it's very, very small. The ad hominem attack on me I'm not an
engineer, but Sherwood Lakes National Park I did represent and Sherwood Lakes
just to put it on the record,before Sherwood Lakes was a borrow pit, there was just
charging a million gallons of water a day, 1 million gallons of water a day into West
Neck Creek. That's not happening anymore. It hasn't been happening since the
property was developed. So it's not so simple as ad hominem attacks, plain and
simple. Okay. This is a project that's been approved, all the infrastructure has been
accepted, they're going above and beyond for a use that's a low intense use with
51% impervious surfaces at a 75%, which is what could be approved out there.
Now, again the newer rules which we are adhering too, nobody's going to court
with a vested rights argument,because we don't want anything to flood either. But
5
there is one that could be made not doing that. These people want to do a good job
that Gianascoli's have developed numerous properties in Virginia Beach very well,
very successfully. They're great corporate citizens in the City of Virginia Beach
and they've spent the time, the effort, the year and a half to go through this process
and see it through and that's exactly where we are at this point, but you know, the
idea of a deny everything moratorium when you have people who have a lot of
money invested and debt to pay and stop commerce, it just doesn't fit. It may fit
certain circumstances. I'm not saying in every situation that we have to prove
everything, but it's very skewed and it doesn't look at the whole picture of the
problem and against I think Steve is spot on with regard to the need to get ability
for over wash in Back Bay, but Back Bay is getting water coming north from
Northeastern North Carolina and that's a big part of this as well and it's got to be a
regional thing. Virginia Beach can't take the entire Brunner shutting down its
economy and putting people into bankruptcy when they're willing to go the extra
mile which is the case in this situation. I am happy to answer any questions.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions? Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:We have two speakers ma'am, Melani Moreno and then Jared Brandwein.
Ms. Moreno: Hello, Melani Moreno again. This is a theme called the southern watershed today
for the two instances that I've stood before you and I don't want to be up here today
and I don't want to be fighting this but I have to oppose this build until the City
Council prioritizes the resolution that gets the water in the southern watershed out
6
of the Back Bay. Every single build in this watershed is going to add a drop into a
bowl that does not dump out for 85 miles south, that's just a fact. I don't like it.
You don't like it, but something has to be done before we add to it and every, I
apologize, every bill that comes before you for approval in this watershed is adding
to that problem. I feel like it's reckless. There's no formal stormwater plan that can
assure water to be kept on this site. This was originally zoned in 2008. We didn't
have this problem identified in this watershed in 2008. That's a fact, we have to
deal with what's current and what's now and what's now is we're flooding. I cannot
drive off my property, my neighbors can't drive off their property without having a
four wheel drive truck, that's just a fact. And I need to stand before you to support
that you consider that. In review of the transition area guidelines, this bill does not
serve the definition of a buffer for a low density, low density rural area. This is a
bill that would be appropriate for light industrial area. I don't believe that a storage
area would add to the skyline of any child peering out the windows of the preschool
across the street, nor any person traveling or walking that shopping area, it would
actually deter walking. It would be an eyesore and it would not serve shoppers to
spend money or continue past it on a stroll. The last issue I have on this build is
that I don't understand what neighborhood is serving about this build. Where's the
data supporting that? We have huge homes surrounding this proposed build that
exceed 2500 square feet with double garages, how would a facility to store things
serve our neighborhoods in this particular area? That's all I have to say about this
build.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you for coming down again Ms. Moreno.
7
Ms. Moreno: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Jared Brandwein
Ms. Rucinski: Can you state your name for the record?
Mr. Brandwein: Yeah, I'm sorry, Jared Brandwein. I'm with Back Bay Restoration
Foundation. I'm the executive director; we've been in existence for approximately
33 years. This project is a lot easier for me to address than the previous D1 project
because this is in the transition area, an area that Back Bay Restoration Foundation
opposed from its original conception in the late 90s. If you go down there, many
of you don't live there. If you drive past the green line and go into the transition
area, there's absolutely nothing transitional about the transition area. It looks like
every other portion of Virginia Beach that's built out. Fortunately, we still have
area within the transition area that's green, that's agricultural, but there's not much
in the transition area that's transitional. I fully respect Eddie's position, he's been a
worthy opponent. For the three times I been here, I was here in the 80s. I was here
in the early 2000s as a manager of Back Bay, and I'm here now as the executive
director of BBRF. Certainly a worthy opponent because he won most of the time
but the city lost. Look at Sherwood Lakes right now, our council and this planning
commission agreed that open water is the same as open space. I haven't been able
to walk on water yet. You know once again,just because the client is in debt for
putting their money on the line expecting Planning Commission and City Council
to up zone or approve developments that are not in the best interest of the watershed.
This is a capitalist society that's a bad investment. It's not the job of the city to bail
8
out bad investments. We are adamantly opposed to this, but if history is Prelude,
you'll approve it and then in another 10 years or less, we'll be back here saying I
told you so once again. I guess my time is closed now.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions? Thank you, Mr. Brandwein.
Mr. Brandwein: Thanks.
Ms. Sandloop:No more speakers.
Ms. Rucinski: Would the applicant like a chance to rebuttal?
Mr. Bourdon: I would be brief. Jared is a very, very smart guy and he's very pragmatic. And I
certainly, you know, respect what he has to say and what he says and I appreciate
it. But the reality and you all understand this is that this isn't a rezoning today. This
is a piece of property that has been zoned for 10 years and has been fully developed.
It has numerous by right development options that would provide more impervious
surface, less additional added stormwater retention and protection than would
otherwise be required that because it's a use permit, you're getting, excuse me, and
more traffic. All right, the absolute reality is if I were coming in today and asking,
I wouldn't be here if I was asking to rezone this piece of property, I wouldn't be
here. Okay, it's been rezone for a long time. It's at the northern, y'all know where
it is. I won't go over and over again. So this is and again, I get the point and I
actually agree with the point, we need to resolve the issue with Back Bay, it's a
bigger issue is my only point. I didn't stand up here and say you need to approve
this because my clients inherited debt. The point is, it's going to develop and this
is a better way for it to develop. That's my point. All right and that was lost on
9
others, I want to make that very clear. This property can be developed and then
you have to come up here before you to be developed and it can have 75%although
it may not get to 75% impervious surface. No one would ever see it, but they've
got to meet the requirements,but could that happen at 75%? Yeah, it may have to
do an underground BMP, underneath parking lot or something like that, but that's
the point. It's an already developed vested rights piece of property. So that is, I am
sorry to runoff it and again, I'm not up here to try to suggest that the concerned isn't
legitimate, it is but we have to balance that. We can certainly say no new
developments, will we get it resolved if that's what the council ultimately wants to
do, but you can't punish somebody who's been there for all these many years, you
know, for doing everything that they can do to make the situation better,not worse.
Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions? We'll go ahead and close this public hearing and open it up to the
commissioners. Jack.
Mr. Wall: All right, so it's already zone B-2. And, you know, I can't say that I'm in favor of
the land use, you know, within the transition area, the usage of a storage unit, you
know, in the south side of Sandbridge Road, but this corner is already zoned B-2
and I knew with that being said, and with the explanation and would appear to be
sufficient stormwater management plan that I'm in favor of it and partly it's because
of the details and the amount of work that's gone into the elevation views in the
architecture for the facility. And I'm not sure that would be achieved if it were
something else, some other structure at that location. It could be developed by right
by something else and you know, we've heard that before, but I think in this case,
10
you know, with its kind of an somewhat appealing for the area architecture. So I
support it.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, thank you. Anyone?
Mr. Horsley: I think the city is kind of benefited because this property wasn't developed when it
could have been developed back in 2008. We've gotten less of a very, less intense
use and most B zoning, we've gotten a better stormwater plan because of the
additional retention point that we got here on the property. We've got less lot
coverage so that way, and then we could have had back then. I think the city has
benefited and I think that the renderings that we've been provided, you know, the
building for a storage unit is pretty attractive storage unit in my estimation,was the
rip that said my farm needs to look like that storage barn, it's pretty nice looking
barn, but so with all due respect to the needs that we have for storm water and the
problems we got down south, I don't think this is going to add anymore. I think
what we're doing,I think what we're doing with these projects like this,even though
we're approving them, we're bringing more and more attention to the storm water
problems that we've got down south and more and more people are becoming aware
of it and I think we will get some help on it hopefully in the not too distant future
because we definitely need it. But I can't see that these folks that this property
belong to and could have developed it, you know, 10-11 years ago. I can't see that
since they've come in now with this use that we shouldn't approve it. So I'm going
to support the application.
Ms. Rucinski: Great, thank you. Ron.
11
Mr. Ripley: I was initially concerned with the issues about meeting the guidelines of the
transition area and the more I looked into it, the more I think it probably does, I
think the reason why you see the elevations like you see is because of the guidelines.
The guidelines are not something that you must do or have to do, but zoning its
guidelines and the guidelines helped shape looks and uses, although I would say in
this area that mini storage really does serve neighborhoods immediately around
them, and you don't drive across city, the store or something you would do,
generally in the general areas where you use it and also supports the businesses as
well. So it's probably a practical use for it and like Don says there are other uses
that I know came along over the years that were looking at this area before the
transition area really kind of got their hands around what they want to see in there
and I know there's been a lot of housing ideas that certainly wouldn't compatible
with the transition that would like to gone in there. There's a lot of uses and like to
be there,this is,you know, I think again, I'm not enamored by having many storage
here but I don't think it's behind the, it's located behind the buildings that face
Sandbridge Road which will you see and this off the beaten path and if you go down
there a lot and I do, I go by there a lot because I gotta play in Sandbridge and you
know, Anderson's is a great store, but Anderson doesn't do the business Home
Depot does, it's, you know,just to work at it. Some days that parking lot is real
empty. So having a little extra business in the area, I don't think it's going to hurt.
And the fact that we've got by the idea, I don't want to beat the drainage issue.
We've kind of beat that to death today but that was addressed I think so. Anyway,
I'll support it.
12
Ms. Rucinski: This side of the room have any comments?
Mr. Inman: I'll make a motion to approve the application.
Ms. Rucinski: All right.
Ms. Ripley: Second.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By the recorded vote of 6-1 with commissioners Weiner and
Graham abstaining, agenda item D2 has been approved.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you. Is there any further business?
Mr. Wall: I just want to say, you know, I do really appreciate the speakers that have come up
and you've spoken concerning the storm water because it is very insightful and,you
know, it's taken I think very well.
Ms. Rucinski: And they care about the city. I appreciate that. All right,if there is no more business
on behalf of my fellow commissioners,I would like to thank everyone for attending
today and thank the planning director and his staff for their excellent work in
preparing today's agenda. This meeting is adjourned.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of Jeffrey and Paige Madrigal for the Closure of
a 334 Sq. Ft. Portion of an Unimproved Right-of-Way Adjacent to the Rear of 317
45th Street
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2019
(APPLICANT IS REQUESTING DEFERRAL)
• Background:
Jeffrey and Paige Madrigal (collectively, the "Applicant") requested the closure of
a 334 sq. ft. portion of unimproved, unnamed alley (the "Right-of-Way"), located
adjacent to the rear of their property at 317 45th Street, for the purpose of
incorporating the closed area into their adjoining property. There are currently
encroachments in the Right-of-Way, including a frame shed, a concrete pad, a
fence and a retaining wall. When the Applicant submitted the street closure
application, some of the improvements were located in the alley outside of the area
proposed for closure. However, the Applicant has relocated the improvements so
that they are now located entirely within the Right-of-Way, as shown on the
updated exhibit attached to the Ordinance.
■ Considerations:
The Department of Public Utilities indicated that there is an existing public sewer
line located within the Right-of-Way; therefore, a condition was recommended that
a public utility easement be dedicated to the City over the entire area proposed for
closure.
The Viewers determined the closure of the Right-of-Way, with the conditions set
forth below, as modified by the Planning Commission, will not result in a public
inconvenience. The property owner adjacent to the northside of the alley
submitted a letter opposing the closure and the encroachments in the Right-of-
Way. There were no speakers at the public hearing.
Upon dedication of the public utility easement, all improvements would need to be
removed to allow access to the sewer line when necessary. However, the
Applicant requests that the improvements encroaching into the Right-of-Way be
allowed to remain, and the Applicant agrees to remove the improvements if the
City requires access to the sewer line. Consequently, the Planning Commission
modified Condition No. 2 to allow the improvements to remain in the closed area,
but only if the City Council approves the encroachment.

The encroachment request has been submitted to the Department of Public Works,
and is under review by staff. The encroachment request will be scheduled for City
Council's consideration following Council's decision on the street closure request.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 9 to 0.
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership

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 of this portion of the alley will not result in any public inconvenience;therefore,closure of
this portion of the right-of-way is deemed acceptable.The Department of Public Utilities has indicated that there is an
existing public sewer line located within the 334 square foot area;therefore,a condition is recommended that a public
utility easement be dedicated to the City over the entire portion of the alley to be closed. Upon dedication of the
easement,all improvements, including an existing frame shed and retaining wall, located within the easement area must
be removed to allow to access the sewer line when necessary.
Staff received one letter of opposition from the adjoining property owners to the north. The letter outlines concerns
regarding the existing improvements that encroach into the alley,which they note has decreased the vegetated buffer
between the properties that the unimproved alley provided. While they are not interested in pursuing the closure of
half of the alley adjacent to their property,they wish to retain their right to do so in the future. Staff's position is that
once the improvements are removed,the area will naturally revegetate, and the former buffer will reestablish. It should
be noted that if the need ever arises for City crews to perform maintenance or provide repairs to the underground
utilities,the area may be cleared for access.

Jeffrey & Paige Madrigal
Street Closure
Adjacent to 317 45th Street
District—Beach
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Yes maam, next item is agenda item six. Jeffrey and Paige Madrigal, it's an
application for street closure on property located adjacent to 317 45th Street located
in the Beach District.
Mr. Bourdon: Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the record Eddie Bourdon,Virginia
Beach attorney representing Paige and Jeff Madrigal who are here this afternoon
along with Dave Jester who has also come down and to support this application.
Mr. Jester and Mr. Madrigal are prepared to speak. I'll get to that in just a second
and in support of the application if need be. Dave is here because he resided in the
neighboring property to this for many years and on your original staff reports you
may have noticed they were revised today, but they showed one house on what
were two lots that was demolished about five years ago and these two houses were
built. When Mr.Jester lived in the neighborhood,the homeowner of that one house,
the shed that you've seen on the pictures that shed was there, then in this current
location, been there for probably 20 years and he was here too. And he's an officer
of the Civic League and it's never been an issue, shed has never been an issue with
anybody as far as he has any recollection or the neighborhood has any recollection.
The only reason I think you all planned on putting this on the consent agenda that
I'm up here is the last sentence in condition number two that suggests that all of the
1
improvements located within the easement area that's an easement that my clients
are in full agreement to dedicate to the city over the seven and a half feet of alley
we're proposing to close but all the improvements would be removed from that
easement at that time. We would respectfully request that be deleted and then we
have the opportunity to pursue an encroachment agreement with the city that will
be responsible for moving it if and when the sewer line which has been there, you
know, again for decades and has never required even though the shed's been there
for decades that it be removed and everything else be removed in order to maintain
it. If we were happy to remove anything if there's any need in the future and sign
an encroachment agreement which is what happens with the city. I will also admit
and acknowledge as we discuss, you all discussed this morning, the portion of the
shed and the fence wall that is encroaching in the northern half of the alley,which
we're not closing and cannot close, those will be relocated so that we will have no
encroachment and what will remain the seven and a half foot section of alley
belonging to the city, this lane or alleys never been improved. It's been plated for
over 100 years, well over. It's not going to be improved as a road if you've seen
topography; it's a cliff that goes to the north of where these improvements are
straight up, totally heavily vegetated. So again, I just and both Mr. Jester and Mr.
Madrigal are prepared to come up and speak. I got the impression you're supportive
of it and we appreciate staff and the viewers being in support of it, but we would
simply request that the last sentence be deleted from condition number two. The
issue is going to be addressed during the subdivision process, the re-subdivision
process, and we would like to have the opportunity to convince the council that
2
with the appropriate encroachment agreement and the relocation of the shed, and
the portion of the retaining wall, out of the northern half of the alley, that we be
allowed to have those there with sufficient, an encroachment agreement that would
mandate, we remove them if ever, and whenever there's a need to maintain that
sewer line that's underground. We are happy to answer any questions anybody may
have.
Mr. Rucinski: Any questions to Mr. Bourdon?
Mr. Ripley: Yeah, why would you want it? I mean, I understand why you wanted to remove
but why would the city remove it because it is stating the fact that it's there and they
quote, and you could file for an encroachment agreement, I understand, and
hopefully that'll work out the way you want, but though they need to state this as
the way I see it and in the application. I mean, it's a fact right? It's encroaching.
Mr. Bourdon: It's encroaching. We're going to remove the portion that's encroaching in the north
half and we were seeking, will be seeking council's approval for the moving it into
the other,there's a seat,a nice seating area with a fire pit over in this corner. It's all
on the property, and we would relocate this. So it's on and this property line to be
vacated. That's a whole city process of vacating that property line and we,just as
long as that last sentence is removed, then that provides us with the opportunity to
seek to keep the shared efforts relocated part of it on our property but with an
encroachment because the city will have the public utility easement over it and so
if we need to remove it because of their maintaining it, we would be willing to do
that.
3
Mr. Ripley: What if you didn't get the, what if you didn't get the, what if you didn't get the
encroachment agreement? What do you do?
Mr. Bourdon: Well, we would have no choice but to relocate everything onto the property that is
south of the seven and a half feet, we'd be acquiring and, you know, that's up to,
that's ultimately up to city council to where they're willing to allow us to do that or
not.
Mr. Ripley: Thanks.
Mr. Bourdon: But we, we just didn't want it to be, you know, that door to be closed today that
didn't make, to us, it didn't make a lot of sense. And that's the purpose of what Mr.
Jester would indicate too, staff has been there for,you know, 20 years plus at least
the shed has been there 20 years plus and it hasn't ever had to be removed,never in
anybody's way. But we recognized and not fussing with the staff at all, but that's
what the encroachment process is for. And we have lots of those throughout the
city,encroachment agreements that require,you know, insurance and movement of
them have the encroachment on 30 days notice if the city wants to get in there and
do work and we're happy to do that.
Mr. Inman: Is what you're saying that the removal of that sentence doesn't mean you get to leave
it there?
Mr. Bourdon: Correct.
Mr. Inman: If you don't get an encroachment.
Mr. Bourdon: That's correct.
4
Mr. Inman: You know, you're encroaching and you've got to get that.
Mr. Bourdon: That's correct,with that sentence, it closed that door.
Mr. Inman: Which is not necessary?
Mr. Bourdon: Correct, that's I'm just asking that one sentence be removed, not trying to trick
anybody, we would be pursuing an encroachment and, again my client and Mr.
Gesture,you know, if I read you all correctly this morning they don't need to waste
your time speaking if you're going to approve it with that change.
Mr. Tajan: Staff offered an option to Mr. Bourdon and his clients; instead of removing the
sentence, can we add or an encroachment shall be granted or an encroachment.
Mr. Bourdon: Unless an encroachment is granted that's fine.
Mr. Tajan: Unless the encroachment is granted by city council, we do find value and the
condition still being there to reinforce the fact that it does need to be removed
through the process. Mr. Bourdon was correct. It will have to be removed anyway
but there's still value to the condition, but we will just add in the fact that he can
still obtain an encroachment when necessary.
Mr. Bourdon: And also be very clear, we understand that it cannot remain in the northern half of
the alley. We have no rights to have it in that section of the alley. But all I wanted
on the record that I don't want to come up and say we agree to the conditions and
that basically would close the door. We just want to be in a position to pursue.
Ms. Rucinski: So you are agreeable with the addition?
5
Mr. Bourdon: As long as you added the condition that,you know, encroachment is approved.
Mr. Tajan: Sure, that's fine, too.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, Mr. Tajan. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: And the next speaker?
Ms. Sandloop:There are no other speakers.
Ms. Rucinski: All right, we'll close this public hearing and open it up to discussion among the
commissioners.
Mr. Inman: I'd make a motion to approve the application subject to adding to the end of the last
sentence and condition number two, unless an encroachment agreement is reached
with city council.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Mr. Graham: Second.
Ms. Rucinski: Second.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By recorded vote of 9-0 agenda item number six has been
approved with condition as amended.
Ms. Rucinski: All right,thank you. Call the next item please.
