Theater staff estimated to be$300.00.
Council Member Ross-Hammond advised the City has an agreement with the Zeider's Theater which allows
the City to hold twenty (20) City events annually at a cost of$50.00 per event. Council Member Ross-
Hammond asked Council Member Taylor to provide more details for the cost of staff.
Council Member Taylor advised the agreement also includes paying the Zeider's Theater stafffor opening

the extra expenditure.

City Manager Duhaney explained the City Council Policy that requires Council Members to request the
Body's approval, by adopting an Ordinance,for any City event with a cost of$50.00 or more.
Mayor Dyer advised it is important to hold public engagement events, especially with the new 10-1 election
system, and added if a venue requiring payment falls through, there are other venues the City can use for
free.
Council Member Berlucchi advised he does not have any issue with Council Member Taylor's request but
believes the Body and the public should understand the City's public engagement scheduling. Council
Member Berlucchi explained when he hosted an event at the Filipino Cultural Center, the fees for the venue
and staffing were waived and expressed concern if one venue waives the fees to be a community partner
and another venue does not and the City pays the fees, then it can cause a disparity. Council Member
Berlucchi suggested the Body either use establishments that will not charge a fee or use City venues at no
cost.
Council Member Henley advised she held an public engagement event at an establishment, not owned by
the City,paying for it with her personal funds and will not be requesting reimbursement from the City.

in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal
knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local

Surveying, PLLC, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" and to which reference is made for a more
particular description.
Providing however, nothing herein shall prohibit the City from immediately

Encroachment from the Encroachment Areas in the event of an emergency or public
necessity, and Grantee shall bear all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the City may enter upon
the Grantee's property for ingress and egress on an as needed basis in order to monitor
Grantee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement, for routine maintenance
activities upon public property adjacent to 924 Sandoval Drive, or at any time upon an
event of noncompliance with the terms of this Agreement to enforce the terms of this

Grantee, except when there is a threat of imminent harm, personal injury or property
damage. City shall not unreasonably interfere with Grantee's use and quiet enjoyment
of the Property. Any access authorized by this section shall be limited to the property

It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Temporary
Encroachment herein authorized terminates upon notice by the City to the Grantee, and
that within thirty (30) days after the notice is given, the Temporary Encroachment must
be removed from the Encroachment Areas by the Grantee; and that the Grantee will
bear all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its agents and employees, from and
against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
in case it shall be necessary to file or defend an action arising out of the construction,
location or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to enlarge the permission and authority to permit the
maintenance or construction of any encroachment other than that specified herein and
to the limited extent specified herein, nor to permit the maintenance and construction of
any encroachment by anyone other than the Grantee.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to
maintain the Temporary Encroachment so as not to become unsightly or a hazard.
It is further expressly understood that any existing encroachments

obligation of such encroachments.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee must obtain
and keep in effect liability insurance with the City as a named insured in an amount not
less than $500,000.00, per person injured and property damage per incident, combined.
The company providing the insurance must be registered and licensed to provide
insurance in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Grantee will provide endorsements
providing at least thirty (30) days written notice to the City prior to the cancellation or
termination of, or material change to, any of the insurance policies. The Grantee
assumes all responsibilities and liabilities, vested or contingent, with relation to the
construction, location, and/or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Temporary
Encroachment must conform to the minimum setback requirements, as established by

Encroachment and charge the cost thereof to the Grantee, and collect the cost in any
manner provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the
Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City
may charge the Grantee for the use of the Encroachment Areas, the equivalent of what
would be the real property tax upon the land so occupied if it were owned by the
Grantee; and if such removal shall not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by
this Agreement, the City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each and every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed
to continue thereafter, and may collect such compensation and penalties in any manner
provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes.

January 20, 2023, prepared by Waterfront Consulting, Inc., a

Encroachment from the Encroachment Area in the event of an emergency or public
necessity, and Grantee shall bear all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the City may enter upon

all costs and expenses of such removal.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee shall
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its agents and employees, from and
against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
in case it shall be necessary to file or defend an action arising out of the construction,
location or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to enlarge the permission and authority to permit the
maintenance or construction of any encroachment other than that specified herein and

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

such encroachments.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee must obtain
and keep in effect liability insurance with the City as a named insured in an amount not
less than $500,000.00, per person injured and property damage per incident, combined.

insurance in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Grantee will provide endorsements
providing at least thirty (30) days written notice to the City prior to the cancellation or

Encroachment and charge the cost thereof to the Grantee, and collect the cost in any
manner provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the
Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City
may charge the Grantee for the use of the Encroachment Area, the equivalent of what
would be the real property tax upon the land so occupied if it were owned by the
Grantee; and if such removal shall not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by
this Agreement, the City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each and every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed
to continue thereafter, and may collect such compensation and penalties in any manner
provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes.

Re: Disclosure Pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3115(I)
Dear Mrs. Barnes:
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Sections 2.2-3115(I), Code of Virginia,
I make the following declarations:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding Franklin Johnson Group
Management & Development, LLC's application for a conditional rezoning,
modification of proffers, and subdivision variance, for property located at 2737
Princess Anne Road and the eastern adjoining parcel 2529 Allie Nicole Circle for
a multifamily housing development that will be known as The Silo at Southern
Pines.
2. The Franklin Johnston Group is the project developer, and it is a client of Colliers
International. I have a personal interest in Colliers International Virginia, LLC
("Colliers") because I am an employee of the firm, and its address is 150 West
Main Street, Suite 1100,Norfolk, Virginia 23510. Although the Franklin Johnston
Group is a client of Colliers with respect one or more other development projects,
Colliers currently has no involvement in this project, and the applicant's
disclosure form indicates that the applicant does not have a real estate
broker/agent/realtor for current and anticipated further sales of the subject
property.
3. The City Attorney's Office has advised me that although the Franklin Johnston
Group is a client of Colliers, because I do not personally provide services to the
Franklin Johnston Group, the Act provides that I may participate in the City
Council's discussion and vote on this application,upon disclosure of this interest.

Acknowledgments
The development of this plan was spearheaded by the City of Virginia Beach, the Historic Preservation
Commission (HPC), and City Preservation Planner, Mark Reed, with funding from the Virginia Department
of Historic Resource's Cost Share Program. Commonwealth Preservation Group (CPG) was hired to provide
support for this project. The project plan included engagement with the public and stakeholder groups, as
well as the project steering committee. Due to COVID-19, all public meetings and stakeholder engagement
meetings were held virtually. At the outset of the project, there were three stakeholder groups including the
HPC's Student Leaders Committee,the Steering Committee, and a staff group with expertise in sea level rise
and flood adaptation,emergency preparedness, infrastructure improvements,and community development.
Members of each of these groups are listed below. Public engagement efforts included two public meetings
(hosted by the City) to gather input from the community. The City of Virginia Beach Communications Office
provided assistance for the first public meeting as well as the online public survey. This information from the
community was provided to the HPC and staff, and represented the community's priorities, goals, and vision
for the preservation program. Using the results of public engagement as well as the previous Historic Resources
Management Plan(HRMP)and existing guiding documents,the HPC and staff prepared the goals,actions and
prioritization of their work as it is presented in this Historic Preservation Plan (HPP).

Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Plan:Chapter 5 69
can be a successful alternative for a property owner
who is truly unable to maintain an historic building.
This process is also useful for local governments that
own historic properties for which they do not have
an identified use, or do not have the current budget
to support a renovation. Properly mothballing a
building will allow for a lengthy delay in any further
deterioration by securing the building against the
elements and vandalism. Mothballing is also called
"de-activating" and is thoroughly addressed in the
National Park Service Brief#31 "Mothballing Historic
Buildings."
Proper mothballing requires a detailed plan before
the process begins and should be developed by an
architect and an historic preservation professional.
The basic goals of the mothballing process are to
document the property, stabilize it, and secure it
against further harm. Typically, moisture, pests, and
vandalism pose the greatest threats. The end result
must be an historic building which is protected
from these threats and requires only periodic
monitoring and minimal maintenance for a certain,
predetermined period of time.

4) Do the City's current preservation programs serve underrepresented communities(racial,ethnic,and
gender minorities,for example?)
Another key goal of the HPP is to enhance the
diversity and inclusion of underrepresented
communities and resource types in the City's historic
" preservation initiatives. Although the majority of
respondents indicated they are either interested in
local history and preservation or enjoy visiting historic
places and sites, most were unsure if the City's current
preservation program serves underrepresented
communities. These results indicate the need to
continue developing and raising awareness of the
histories of the City's underrepresented communities
and to provide informed objectives tied to
documentation priorities.

Article 13 of the Zoning Ordinance is to preserve the
City's historic and cultural resources, promote tourism
and economic development, foster a sense of place,
and assure compatible design and development within
the Districts. HCDs are the only designation requiring
regulatory review to protect the character of historic
resources and districts. Proposed alterations within
HCDs are reviewed by the Historical Review Board

an HCD requires a zoning amendment for the specific
parcel or parcels designated. It is important to note that
the City does not generally consider adding new HCDs
or expanding the boundaries of existing HCDs without
owner support.
