CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize the Vacation of a 20' Public Access Easement
Located Along the Eastern Boundary of 2454 Starfish Road Subject to the
Dedication of an Improved Public Access Easement Approximately 140'
Eastward of 2454 Starfish Road, at the Request of Westminster-Canterbury on
Chesapeake Bay
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: November 14, 2023
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: On August 19, 1974, City Council approved the closure of Avenue
A and a portion of Ocean Avenue (M.B. 5, P. 71), subject to a condition that public
access easements to the sandy beach along the Chesapeake Bay be dedicated to the
City. On April 18, 1975, a public access easement located north of the northern
terminus of Starfish Road (the "Easement"), was dedicated to the City as part of the
conditions of the street closure. Thereafter, the Easement was relocated approximately
180 feet westward in 1975 and returned to its approximate initial location in 1982 (M.B.
162, P. 26). The Easement is 20 feet wide and runs along the eastern boundary of 2454
Starfish Road (GPIN: 1590-00-9705), as shown on Exhibit A attached to the Ordinance.
The property on which the Easement is currently located is owned by Westminster-
Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay ("WCCB").
WCCB is requesting that the Easement be vacated and that the beach access be
relocated to a new public access easement approximately 140 feet eastward to the
easternmost property line of WCCB's parcel known as GPIN: 1590-10-0956 (the "New
Easement"), as shown on the Location Map. WCCB proposes that it will construct a new
beach access with an ADA-compliant ramp in the New Easement.
WCCB is seeking to expand its campus eastward and construct a new independent
living tower. The tower is proposed to be constructed over the Easement, as shown on
the conceptual plan submitted to City Council with the modification of conditions to the
Conditional Use Permit approved on September 22, 2020 (the "Modification"). Condition
#7 of the Modification requires WCCB to obtain the approval of City Council "to relocate
the existing public beach access from its current location at the eastern terminus of
Starfish Road to the proposed new location along the applicant's northeastern property
line" prior to the approval of the construction plans.
■ Considerations: City staff reviewed WCCB's request to vacate the Easement
and recommends approval of same, subject to the following conditions:
1. The New Easement will be at least 20 feet wide and located along the
easternmost boundary of WCCB's parcel of land now known as GPIN: 1590-10-
0956;
2. WCCB will construct the relocated public beach access in the New
Easement substantially as shown on the rendering attached to the Ordinance as
Exhibit B, subject to such minor modifications approved by the Director of
Planning;
3. The Deed of Dedication for the New Easement must be approved by the
City Attorney's Office prior to recordation; and
4. The Deed of Vacation shall not be delivered or recorded until the relocated
public beach access in the New Easement has been constructed, inspected and
accepted by the City.
The site plan for the new independent living tower, the site plan for the relocated public
access, and a deed of easement to dedicate the relocated public access are currently
under review in the Planning Department.
A supermajority vote of City Council is required to vacate the Easement because (a) the
Easement has been devoted to public use for access to and from the sandy beach
along the Chesapeake Bay; (b) the Easement is a perpetual easement; and (c) the
vacation of the Easement conditioned on the dedication of the New Easement is
tantamount to a sale, pursuant to 2008 Op. Va. Att'y Gen. 73, 2008 Va. AG LEXIS 9
(Dec. 1, 2008).
■ Public Information: Advertisement for a public hearing as required by §1502-
1800 Code of Virginia. A public hearing will be held on November 14, 2023. Public
notice also will be provided via the normal City Council agenda process.
■ Alternatives: Deny the vacation of the Easement.
■ Recommendations: Approve the request subject to the terms and conditions of
the Ordinance.
■ Attachments: Ordinance, Exhibits, Location Map and Disclosure Statement.
Recommended Action: Approval
Submitting Department/Agency: Public Works/Real Estate

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a License Agreement
with Starbucks Corporation for the Use of Approximately Fifty (50) Square Feet
of City-owned Property for an Outdoor Seating Area at 31 Ocean
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: November 14, 2023
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: Since 2008, Starbucks Corporation ("Starbucks") has licensed
from the City an outdoor seating area of approximately fifty (50) square feet located
immediately in front of and under the roof-line of the Starbucks store located at 31
Ocean, 241 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "Licensed Area").
Starbucks proposes to enter into a new license agreement for the Licensed Area from
the City for a one (1) year term with four (4) one-year renewal options. Starbucks would
be allowed to place tables and chairs in the Licensed Area and be responsible for the
maintenance of the Licensed Area. Starbucks would be required to comply with other
regulations consistent with other outdoor seating areas throughout the City.
Use of the Licensed Area has been treated as a license agreement and not as a cafe
franchise because: (a) this property is not located in the right-of-way; and (b) Starbucks
will not provide table service to the Licensed Area.
■ Considerations: Starbucks has agreed to pay an initial rental rate of$1,168.56
annually for the first year of the agreement, with that amount increasing by three
percent (3%) each successive year. The license agreement would be consistent with
other uses at the 31 Ocean development.
■ Public Information: Notice of Public Hearing will be advertised in The
Virginian-Pilot on November 5, 2023. Public notice will be provided via the normal City
Council agenda process.
■ Alternatives: Approve License as presented, change conditions of the
License or deny licensing of the space.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $18,953,059 to the FY 2023-24 Capital
Improvement Program and $1,142,237 to the City's Operating Budget from the
Sale of Easements for an Electric Transmission Corridor for the Coastal Offshore
Wind Project to Dominion Energy Virginia
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: November 14, 2023
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: Virginia Electric and Power Company, a Virginia public service
corporation d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion") is an electric utility company that
is constructing the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind ("CVOW") project to diversify its energy
supply and advance the clean energy goals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
CVOW is Dominion's offshore wind project that has received approval from the federal
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Virginia State Corporation Commission to
develop a 176-turbine wind farm approximately 27 miles off the coast of the City of Virginia
Beach (the "City"), as part of state and federal clean energy initiatives. For the operation
of CVOW, Dominion is seeking to run electric transmission cables approximately 13 miles
from its cable landing location at the State Military Reservation, located just south of
Croatan Beach, to Dominion's existing Fentress substation in Chesapeake. More
specifically, Dominion proposes to run underground cables from the landing location
through property operated by the Virginia Aquarium, and overhead cables from Harpers
Road through City-owned property and public rights-of-way for approximately 9 miles to
the border of Chesapeake (the "Proposed Easement Corridor'), much of which follows
the alignment of the former Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt ("SEPG") as shown in
the City' s Master Transportation Plan.
The sale of easements (collectively, the "Easements") across 25 City-owned parcels for
the construction, maintenance, and operation of underground and overhead cables and
related facilities within the Proposed Easement Corridor to Dominion Energy was
approved by the City Council on October 24, 2023. Dominion Energy is also including a
tree mitigation fee to clear trees before constructing overhead cables and related facilities.
The City retains the right to maintain its existing public facilities, infrastructure, and uses
that are located within the Proposed Easement Corridor and would establish a system to
efficiently obtain Dominion's consent to locate future facilities, infrastructure, and uses
within the Proposed Easement Corridor that do not interfere with Dominion's facilities.
The public's access to, and existing use of, the Aquarium, public parks, and other public
areas would not be affected once construction of the CVOW project is complete. The City
also retains ownership of at least 150 feet of the 300- foot wide former SEPG corridor for
future uses.
■ Considerations: The City will receive a total of $20,095,296 in revenue from the
sale of the easements. $1 ,142,237 will be appropriated to the Department of Parks and
Recreation Operating Budget for tree mitigation. The remaining $18,953,059 will be
appropriated to the City's Capital Improvement Program to support various transportation
related projects as shown below:

Description
This project begins at Vista Circle,near the eastern end of the Lesner Bridge,and extends eastward through the Great Neck Road intersection and
terminates at Beech Street.This project will improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and safety in the roadway and intersections;improve storm
drainage;include eight-foot sidewalks and on-street bike lanes;and enhance the corridor with aesthetic elements such as landscaping and lighting.
Existing aerial utilities will be relocated to a combination of underground locations at intersections and to new overhead locations along the rest of the
project corridor.
Purpose
Shore Drive is a major east-west arterial in the northern portion of the City.The existing roadway carries 33,700 vehicles per day with a current capacity
of 36,900 vehicles per day.Without this project,the roadway will continue to experience vehicular,bicyclist,and pedestrian safety incidents and restrict
traffic volume due to inadequate stormwater drainage.This project includes stormwater improvement components,including pipe to service pump
stations.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2007-08 CIP.On January 9,2007,City Council established this project with the appropriation of FY 2005-06 fund
balance from the General Fund.This project received$5 million in Revenue Sharing from the Commonwealth in FY 2012-13 and an additional$5 million
from this source in FY 2017-18.This project was delayed for two years,FY 2012-14,until the Shore Drive Drainage Preliminary Design was completed.
Design is underway and will include additional stormwater requirements identified in the preliminary design,supplemental agreements to the design
contract,and coordination with the"Eastern Shore Drive Drainage CIP Project."

History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2007-08 CIP.On January 9,2007,City Council established this project with the appropriation of FY 2D05-06 fund
balance from the General Fund.This project was placed on hold at the Bayfront Advisory Committee's request to re-prioritize"Shore Drive Phase III"in
place of this phase.In the FY 2020 CIP,funds were appropriated to this project to initiate project design activities.The Commonwealth Transportation
Board has awarded this project$500,000 in Revenue Sharing in FY 2024-25.As an existing Revenue Sharing project,"Shore Drive IV"will receive
priority in the next round of Revenue Sharing Awards,currently anticipated to be in the out years of the VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program and CIP.
Therefore,Commonwealth funds were increased in the project and local funds in the outer years of the CIP were redirected and reprogrammed to
"Centerville Turnpike Phase II."Outer year funds have also been re-directed to-Elbow II-B;Elbow II-D;Parliament I;Nimmo VII-B and Pungo Ferry
projects in the FY 2023-24 CIP.

Description
This project provides for modification of existing roadways by constructing turn lanes and bypass lanes,realignment of existing roadways,installing traffic
signals,installing guardrails,installing sidewalks,removing visual obstructions,and funding various other traffic safety improvements.This project also
provides for collecting traffic data,assessing required roadway capacity,acquiring needed property and easements,and constructing safety
improvements.This annual program includes competitively obtained funding for various projects awarded by the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT)through the following grant programs:Transportation Alternatives Program(TAP);Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program(BPSP);
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality(CMAQ);and Highway Safety Improvement Program(HSIP).
Purpose and Need
There are intersections and road segments where minor modifications can increase traffic capacity and safety.Without this project,minor improvements
to upgrade existing traffic safety problems cannot be expedited to meet changing traffic demands.This would delay needed minor improvements to the
City's Transportation Infrastructure System.
History and Current Status
This project first appeared in the FY 2016-17 CIP and continues the activities of"Traffic Safety Improvements III."Beginning with the FY 2012-13 and
continuing through FY 2029-30,this project will receive funding from Dominion Power for use of property in the Norfolk Southern Right-of-Way.By the
agreement,these funds must be used for transportation purposes.

Description
The proposed 12 mile trail is a 10'wide asphalt path with a 2'wide crush stone shoulder on each side and includes three pedestrian bridges(one over
Independence Blvd;two over waterways)travelling within the already acquired former Norfolk Southern Railroad right of way.Additionally,the Virginia
Beach Trail travels along two Federally Designated Opportunity Zones and city-designated redevelopment area,and three socio-economically challenged
census tracts:thus,providing an equitable solution to the need for transportation alternatives in the City of Virginia Beach.This phase of the project funds
the design and construction of a phased section of the proposed VBTrail from Newtown Road to Constitution Drive,or a portion thereof.Construction
funding could be leveraged as matching grant dollars when the opportunity arises for this phase,or other phases of the corridor.
Purpose
The Virginia Beach Trail aligns with two of City Council's top priorities:Transportation and Economic Development.The Virginia Beach Trail is the active
transportation alternative to conned our neighborhoods,across the City,region and beyond by means other than the motor vehicle for a shared-use
network that supports tourism,locals,pedestrians,and bicyclists.The City's 2016 Comprehensive Plan and its Sustainability Plan,Connections Chapter,
have a primary goal to create an inter-connected,multi-modal transportation system providing efficient,safe,and affordable movement city-wide and
linking to regional systems.The Virginia Beach Trail has been a priority project in the City's adopted Bikeways and Trails Plans since 1981 and most
recently listed in the 2021 Active Transportation Plan.The VBTrail is part of a broader regional and state trail network.
History , Current Status
The project first appeared in the FY15 CIP as Transit Corridor Development.In FY19CIP,the title was changed to Rail-to-Trail Shared Use Path
Development to match the new scope of the project. Now titled Virginia Beach Trail,this project was submitted as an Above Target request for FY21,
FY22,and FY23 but was not funded.

(2) An Ordinance to Appropriate Additional Funds for Schools from the
Commonwealth in the Amount of$23,445,223
PUBLIC HEARING: November 14, 2023
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: The Virginia Beach School Board adopted two budget resolutions
during its October 24, 2023, meeting. One request is for reversion and revenue sharing.
The other reflects additional funding for school divisions included in the recently adopted
state budget.
Reversion and Revenue Sharing
The current City and Virginia Beach City Public School's (VBCPS) revenue sharing policy
has been in place since 2019. Section 6 of that agreement outlines the process if VBCPS
ends a fiscal year with additional revenue or unexpended appropriations. In accordance
with the policy, the School Board adopted a Budget Resolution regarding FY 2022-23
Reversion and Revenue Sharing Formula Reconciliation on October 24, 2023. The total
amount that the School Board is requesting to be appropriated by the City Council is
$26,140,809.
The request for the reversion funds is as follows:
1. $14,890,809 to be appropriated to the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program:
a. $3,962,133 as pay-as-you-go funding with a corresponding reduction in
authorized but unissued Public Facility Revenue Bonds;
b. $5,000,000 as pay-as-you-go funding for Project #601018, "Renovations
and Replacements — HVAC Phase III;"
c. $2,928,676 as pay-as-you-go funding for Project #601020, "Renovations
and Replacements — Various Phase III`
d. $3,000,000 as pay-as-you-go funding for Project#601030, "Payroll System
Replacement;"
2. $11,000,000 to be appropriated to the School Reserve Special Revenue Fund to
be set aside for Project #601015, "Princess Anne High School Replacement"
($5,500,000) and Project #601028, "B.F. Williams/Bayside 6th (Grades 4-6)
Replacement" ($5,500,000). These amounts will be requested in the FY 2024-25
Capital Improvement Program; and
3. $250,000 to be appropriated to the Athletics fund.
FY 2022-2024 Biennial State Budget
Governor Youngkin convened a special session of the 2023 General Assembly on
September 6, 2023, and the General Assembly adopted a budget that amended the FY
2024 Direct Aid distributions to school divisions. Governor Youngkin signed the Virginia
State Budget on September 14, 2023. This updated budget provides additional funding
to the School Operating Fund ($3,408,066) and the Categorical Grants Fund
($20,037,157). These amounts must be appropriated by the City Council prior to the
School Board expending the funds.
■ Considerations: These two ordinances have been brought at the request of the
School Board. The Reversion and Revenue Sharing request is consistent with the
City/Schools Revenue Sharing Policy.
When the Schools Reserve Special Revenue Fund was established in 2003, this fund
was to be limited to 2% of the previous year's Schools Operating Fund. The fund balance
of the School Revenue Fund is $15.2 million prior to this appropriation, so the addition of
$11 million will substantially exceed 2% of the previous year's Schools Operating Fund.
■ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process. In addition, this request exceeds 1% of the FY 2023-2024
Operating Budget, so a public hearing has been scheduled for November 14, 2023. The
advertisement for the hearing appeared in the November 5, 2023, Virginia Beach Beacon.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Fund Balance of the Tourism Investment Program
(TIP) Fund and to Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Settlement,
Termination, and Transition Agreement for the Virginia Beach Sports Center
PUBLIC COMMENT: November 14, 2023
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: The Virginia Beach Sports Center (the "Sports Center") opened to
the public in October 2020. The Sports Center provides a strong economic impact to the
City and an opportunity to bring athletes from around the country, most notably securing
the NCAA Division 1, 2, and 3 Indoor Track Championships. The facility also provides
much needed space and programs for the residents of the City.
Based on a City audit completed in early 2023, there was concern about the viability of
the current operation model and the structure of the management agreement with the
operator, ESM VBSC, LLC. Based on the recommendation of the City Auditor, the City
placed the operator in a probationary status and sought improvement in certain
performance requirements of the management agreement.
After further discussion with the operator, the City and the operator have agreed to a
transition and termination of the current management agreement. If approved, the City
will take over the operations responsibilities for the Sports Center. Upon taking over
operations, the City intends to engage with an interim operator while the City develops a
request for proposal process. The primary financial consideration in taking over the
Sports Center is the disposition of certain debts of the facility to include furniture, fixtures,
equipment (FF&E), and the initial start-up budget. The amount required to retire this debt
is $4,604,266.53, and a reserve established in the Tourism Investment Program (TIP)
Fund will provide $2,555,896. The balance will be borne by the fund balance of the TIP
Fund.
In addition to the FF&E and start-up budget, there are amounts owed to the operator for
accrued management fees, cash advances, accounts payable, and unpaid gate receipts.
The proposed ordinance will address payment of these amounts.
If approved, the termination date for the management agreement will be November 30,
2023. Provided the City Council approves this item, the City and the operator will work
expeditiously to resolve the various matters and allow the full transition of facility
operations.
■ Considerations: The source for this appropriation is the fund balance of the TIP
Fund. Consistent with the approval of the management agreement in December 2018, a
reservation in the TIP Fund was established to assist in the City's acquisition of the FF&E.
The attached Summary of Terms includes the material terms of the Settlement,
Termination, and Transition Agreement. If approved, this agreement will serve to guide
the process for the City taking control of the Sports Center.
In addition to the provision of fund balance to pay for the FF&E and amounts to be
resolved prior to the termination date, the ordinance provides for working capital at the
Sports Center for the City and its interim operator. This amount will be used to pay
salaries and a management fee for the interim operator. Last, the ordinance
acknowledges the City's budget maintains a reserve established for the Sports Center
within the TIP Fund. If there are any needs for additional resources during the fiscal year,
this reserve will assist, and the use of the reserve will be reported to the City Council.
If this action is approved, the estimated fund balance of the TIP Fund will be
approximately $41 million.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Add Section 38-9 to the City Code to Prohibit Weapons at the
Housing Resource Center
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023
■ Background: The Housing Resource Center (HRC) opened in 2018. The HRC
serves a diverse population of homeless patrons, including many with a history of mental
health and substance abuse disorders. The HRC houses approximately 95 guests,
including families and children. HRC patrons can receive support and a variety of
services at the HRC. The HRC seeks to provide a safe haven for families and individuals
who lack support, resources and housing. In order to maintain a safe environment,
weapons need to be prohibited at the HRC. Virginia Code § 15.2-915 authorizes the
governing body of a locality to adopt an ordinance which prohibits the possession,
carrying or transportation of any firearms, ammunition, or components or combination
thereof in buildings owned or used by the locality.
■ Considerations: Patrons of the HRC have brought firearms and weapons,
including knives, when seeking shelter and resources. This ordinance is requested to
formally adopt a no weapons policy and to implement screening for weapons with lockers

2024, through October 31 , 2028. The first year of the contract will cost $2,950,000, and
this amount is a 47% increase over the 2023 contract cost. Each subsequent year is
subject to an escalation of 5% or the annual consumer-price-index increase as
determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whichever is lower. The contract includes
the option to extend services for three one-year renewals as well.
The payment schedule of the contract requires a total of six payments for each annual
period, of which two payments totaling 30% of the total cost must occur in this current
fiscal year. The Tourism Investment Program (TIP) Fund has been identified as the
funding source for lifeguard expenses that exceed the 2023 contract cost. The first year
of the contracted services beginning March 1, 2024, will result in payments due in the
current fiscal year of $885,000, which is an increase of $573,734 from the budgeted
amount.
■ Considerations: If this item is approved, the City can complete the award and
contract process for lifeguard services. Future fiscal years will be programmed in
subsequent budgets. The source of this transfer will be unexpended debt service within
the TIP fund. The FY 2023-24 Adopted Operating Budget assumed a bond sale in the fall
of 2023 for the Atlantic Park project. The bond sale will now likely be held in the spring of
2024, creating some capacity within the fund for this transfer.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: WYCLIFFE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions to a Conditional Use Permit (Religious Use) for
the property located at 1445 North Great Neck Road, 2307 Millwood Road, &
parcel between 2307 & 2309 Millwood Road (GPINs 2408098544,
2408098375, 2408191128 ). COUNCIL DISTRICT 8
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2023 (Deferred from October 17, 2023)
■ Background:
This item was deferred at the October 17, 2023, City Council Hearing to allow
additional time for the City Council to review and receive additional input on the
proposal. The Open Space Advisory Committee (OSAC) considered the
application at their October 23, 2023 meeting, specifically related to the 3.88 acre
portion proposed to be removed from the Conditional Use Permit. After
considering several scenarios, the OSAC voted that the City not move forward with
the acquisition of the 3.88 acres, either in whole or in part.
The applicant is requesting to modify the conditions of a Conditional Use Permit
for a Religious Use approved by the City Council in 1966. Previous modifications
for a childcare education center and a church building addition were approved in
1988 and 2000. A separate Conditional Use Permit for a Pump Station was
approved for the property in 1973.
The applicant is seeking to sell an approximately 3.88-acre portion of the property
that is not needed for church use. With the removal of the 3.88-acre portion, a
modification to the Conditional Use Permit is required to remove the use from the
portion of the property to be sold. The church will retain approximately 4.13-acres
of land for the existing church facilities and parking. The 4.13-acre portion to
remain exceeds the minimum three-acre lot area requirement for religious uses,
as identified in Section 240.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
■ Considerations:
The request to remove 3.88 acres from the previously approved Conditional Use
Permit is consistent with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan
for the Suburban Area. In Staff's view, the request is acceptable; however, the
Planning Commission voted to recommend denial of the application.
There were 18 speakers in attendance at the Planning Commission public hearing,
all of whom opposed the request. The speakers raised concerns specifically
Wycliffe Presbyterian Church
Page 2 of 2
related to the potential future by-right development on the 3.88-acre portion of the
property to be sold. The concerns raised were related to the filling of wetlands on
the property, potential flooding that could occur from the proposed by-right
development, and the potential negative impact to wildlife on the property. Staff
received 36 letters of opposition and two letters of concern, all of which expressed
similar concerns. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff Report.
■ Recommendation:
On August 9, 2023, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
denial of this request by a vote of 6 to 4. If the City Council chooses to approve the
request, Staff recommends the following conditions:
1. All previous conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit approvals of
August 3, 1966, and October 15, 1973, as well as the Modification of Condition
approvals of December 19, 1988, and December 12, 2000, shall remain in effect
and Condition 2, as indicated below, shall be added.
2. The applicant/owner shall submit a resubdivision plat to the City of Virginia
Beach, subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning &
Community Development prior to the recordation, which shall be in substantial
conformance to the submitted resubdivision plat entitled "RESUBDIVISION

Background of • • •
• Wycliffe Presbyterian Church has existed on these R-10 Residential zoned parcels since the 1960s. A Conditional Use
Permit for a religious use was granted by the City Council on August 3, 1966 and a separate Conditional Use Permit
was approved for a Pump Station on a 0.045 acre portion of the property on October 15, 1973. Subsequently in
1988 and 2000,the City Council approved a childcare education center and a church addition.
• The applicant intends to sell an approximately 3.88 acre portion of the property that has not been used for any
religious purpose for decades,thus necessitating the Modification of Conditions.
• With the removal of approximately 3.88 acres, approximately 4.13 acres of land, including the church facilities and
parking,will remain under the church's ownership.The 4.13 acres remaining with the church exceeds the required
three-acre lot area requirement for religious uses,as identified in Section 240.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Evaluation • • , •
This request for a Modification of Conditions to remove approximately 3.88-acres from the previously approved
Conditional Use Permits, in Staff's Opinion, is acceptable.The request is consistent with the policies and goals set forth
in the Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban Area, as the existing church complements the existing uses in the area and
provides much needed services to the surrounding community.
Staff does not anticipate any negative impacts from a reduction in the property associated with the church as all the
required parking will continue to be met on the site,and the church will to continue to operate as it has for the past
several decades with the same facilities,access,and parking to accommodate parishioners and guests.
Based on these considerations, Staff is recommending approval of this Modification of Conditions request.

either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability,and effective buffering
with respect to type,size, intensity,and relationship to the surrounding uses.The proposal to subdivide the parcel

Virginia Beach Planning Commission
August 9, 2023 Public Meeting
Agenda Item # 6
Wycliffe Presbyterian Church
RECOMMENDED FOR DENIAL
Madam Clerk: Agenda item number six is for Wycliffe Presbyterian Church. It's an
application for modification of conditions for religious use at 1445 Great Neck Road,
2307 Millwood Road, and the parcel between 2307 and 2309 Millwood Road in District
eight.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you for waiting.
Mr. Bourdon: Oh, not a problem. Mr. Chairman, members of the commission. For the
record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney, I'm coming before the commission this
afternoon representing Wycliffe Presbyterian Church. I wanna start by saying this is not
a request for a zoning change. It is a request to remove from a use permit, granted 57
years ago, a 3.88-acre parcel, which is not, and has not been used for a religious use
leaving the church and its facilities, buildings, parking, access etc. On 4.1 acres, the
southern parcel containing 4.1 acres of land of their over eight-acre combination of
parcels. As your professional staff has reported to you, Wycliffe Presbyterian applied
for, and was approved for the use permit in August of 1966, three years after the City of
Virginia Beach was formed. And given that they owned three contiguous parcels at that
time, containing, you know, approximately eight and a quarter acre at that time, they
included all three parcels in their use permit request in 1966. At that time, the
properties were zoned R-3 or R-4, residential, and they are now zoned R-10 residential
all of the property the church owns. Just like the properties which, abut the northern
portion of their property that are also zoned R-10 and developed with houses under that
zoning district. The original 1966 use permit approval did not contain any condition
which restricted or applied any development conditions, landscaping, et cetera, or
restrictions of any kind applicable to the two northernmost of the three properties that
were included in the application. The years later, as staff has reported, the church
obtained modifications to their use permit or amendments to their use permits as
described in the report. Again, no limitations nor conditions were imposed on the use of
the Northern properties owned by the church that are the subject of this request, that
they simply be deleted from the use permit. I will note and correct slightly what Ms.
Coleman told you all this morning regarding a 1973 acquisition by the City of Virginia
Beach from the church of a portion of the Northern property along Millwood Road for a
pump station. The city acquired that property from the church. The city did not require
the church to modify its use permit that has never occurred and then later after having
acquired it, as required at the time, the city applied for a conditional use permit to put a
pump station on the site that they had acquired from the church and that's no longer a
requirement, but that's how that sequence occurred. There was no modification
required of the church in order for that to take place. There is a building on the Northern
parcel, which we are asking to be removed from the use permit that building has for up
until two or three years ago, been used for about a quarter of a century as an occupied
by the Virginia Beach Health Department's infant STEM program, which the church
essentially gave them the right no rent, no reimbursement of costs, et cetera. The right
to use that property, $1 a year lease. The building, which back in the 90s was kind of,
you know, upgraded a little bit by a bunch of volunteers, as I understand it, including
members of the church. The building has deteriorated its condition because the church
can't afford to maintain it. They weren't getting any rent. The city agency didn't
maintain it and the church went to the city 2-3 years ago and asked if the city one would
assist in renovating that building on residential property use for an office use or two,
agree to pay rent and maintain the property if the church invested money to fix up the
building, or three, if the city would buy the property. The city declined all three
opportunities. The church then asked the city, went to the planning department, and
asked the city if the church could rezone that northern property that they're not using for
the church to office and allow it to be sold at for a medical office or some other use
similar to what has occurred on the property for decades. Again, they were told no by
the planning department because the comp plan clearly says that they don't want the
commercial node that is there near Mill Dam between Mill Dam [Inaudible] [58:35] on
Great Neck to be expanded northward into the further than it are and that's a valid point,
I'm not saying this to criticize that, but that is what the church again was told. This 3.9
acres is clearly excess property owned by and has not been used for religious purpose.
The church's [Inaudible] [59:00] is confined to 4.1 acres on the southern parcel of the
property, which exceeds the antiquated three-acre minimum parcel size for a church as
contained in our zoning ordinance for 50 plus years. And I would say that it's clearly
true that far, far less than half of the churches in Virginia Beach actually have three
acres of land. As the church has advised its neighbors, unfortunately, like a lot of
churches with aging parishioners, they've lost a lot of, of parishioners and especially
those families that were sustaining members of the church. Costs are, you know, gone
up for everything. We all know that and frankly, the church cannot continue to afford to
maintain all this extra land nor to rehab, or demo this building that's been used as a
office which zoning actually doesn't allow and their grounds. It's clearly excess. The
church simply asked to be able to sell the excess 3.8 acres retaining the 4.1 acres they
are and have used for a religious use since 1967-68. I'm sure you're going to hear from
the folks that are here today who many are very well intended that they don't want to
see a pond that is located on this excess part of the church's property to be filled. This
application has nothing whatsoever to do with the regulatory process of seeking
approval to fill this pond. The church is not proposing to fill the pond. Repeat, the
church is not proposing to fill the pond. However, it is important to understand that if the
church desired to fill the pond, they could go through the same regulatory process that a
buyer of this parcel will have to go through and obtain or seek to obtain, they may not
obtain it and the purchaser of this property may not obtain it, but they can seek to obtain
approval to fill this pond on their property if they wish to do so. And it would not involve
this commission at all, at all. The church isn't pursuing that, a buyer that's under
contract will pursue that and any buyer I believe will pursue it. The folks that are here in
opposition, for the most part, they have every right, and we told them this at the
community meeting to participate in that process. The church isn't going to be in that
process, but there's a regulatory process that involves the city development services
and public works, the state DEQ and the Army Corps of Engineers, and they're
welcome to participate in that process. But that is not a process that this planning
commission has anything to do with. You wouldn't hear it if the church was pursuing it,
which they could pursue, and you won't hear it if the buyer of this property pursues it.
But that doesn't mean it's going to be approved. But that is again, not what this is about
and there is again, no condition whatsoever on the church's use permit, which involves
or requires that the church maintain a pond on its land that does not exist and if it did,
then and only then would it be before the purview of the planning commission. So just
understand this is not an application to fill the pond and as such an application would
not come before the planning commission. It is frankly an unusual process that brings
us here today. The City of Virginia Beach's circumstance with the pump station I
explained to you, the Virginia Beach Tennis and Racquet Club just up Great Neck Road
that I've had the pleasure of representing for many years, Tom Betts prior to me, on
Thomas Bishop Lane, they had a bubble, if you all, some of you may remember with
tennis courts under it from back in the 70s, I believe, their whole tennis facilities under a
conditional use permit for recreational facility, outdoor recreational facility. A number of
years ago, I represented them, applied for obtained a modification of that use permit to
build a new indoor facility, and it maintained the tennis courts that were under the
bubble as tennis courts in a parking lot, again, a part of the use permit. A number of
years later, Dr Shiflet and the ownership decided they needed to sell some of that land.
I have sown residential for houses on the opposite side of Thomas Bishop Lane, where
the bubble had been with the tennis courts in the parking lot for that bubble had existed,
once again, went to the Bay Board, but there was no requirement from the city that this
private business, if you will have to modify their use permit to eliminate the tennis
courts. There are two other applications, one being the dockside or situations, a
dockside restaurant on Shore Drive, Vista Circle represented the Athee family for years.
Their original use permit for Marina included every bit of their land for a Marina back in
the again, mid 60s. A number of years later, they decided to build a restaurant on their
property, a by right use, but not anything that was shown on their use permit application
or their plans for their use permit. And there was no restriction in that use permit that
said they couldn't put another by right use on their property. Casein Barco, Winston
Salem Avenue, the oceanfront, the exact same circumstance, got a conditional use
permit from the city back in the late 60s for a Marina. He showed a little bait house on
the property that's it. A number of years later when he was building everything,
economy went tanked. He didn't build a little bait house. He came in and built a
restaurant on the property. Once again, a by right use of the property not restricted by
the original use permit, but not shown on the original use permit at all. Did he modify
his application or required to modify his condition use permit? No, no, it's not. This is
an unusual unprecedented, in my view, circumstance that this church is being required
to do this in the first place. The opposition, as I've said, is either they don't want the
pond to be filled, which as I've said, the church could pursue approval of and doesn't
come before this body. And no condition, no condition restricts them from doing that.
There isn't one. If there had been a condition said he want you to maintain a pond on
the property or we want you to maintain all this landscaping here or there, then we'd be
here. But there's no condition on the property that we're seeking to take out of the use
permit, and it's not being and has not for decades been used for any religious purpose
whatsoever. So, again, no one's here on the far as the church is concerned to, you
know, take a shot at the opposition. We had a nice meeting with the folks that came,
most of them were very cordial and very nice. A couple of them tried to tell me that the
church couldn't even close the church and sell the whole property without getting
Planning Commission and City Council to modify their use permit. I politely said that
was not accurate but was told I was lying to them. They either that or they don't want
houses built on the lots that could be created and will be created on this property. How
many, we don't know. It's no more than 12. It might be five or six depends on whether
those agencies I've spoken about agreed to allow the pond to be replaced with another
type of BMP for that development. So, any development of the 3.88 acres zoned R-10
would not come before you and a rezoning would but at this point, there's no what the
indication is that they are not going to seek a rezoning of the property. But if they did or
they wanted to seek a subdivision variance of some type, they would come before this
body. But their recourse is to all the departments and Corps of Engineers and DEQ that
I have cited. So, we've done, the church has done its outreach. The church has met
with the neighbors, explained their predicament, explain their circumstances, and this is
again, the church is not going to be able to survive maintaining this large piece of
property and they got a liability with this building that's in bad shape that the city is used,
but no one's maintained, and that's where we are. I will be happy to answer any
questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. We're gonna go ahead and start with the speakers and then
we'll call you up for rebuttal. Madam Clerk, did you describe the time limits?
Madam Clerk: Yeah, as a reminder, it's 10 minutes for HOA presidents.
Mr. Alcaraz: Are the lights working?
Madam Clerk: Yes, they're working.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Ten minutes if you're representing an HOA and then 3 minutes for
everybody else. We're going to start with Ryan Sallie followed by Michelle Conti.
Mr. Alcaraz: Afternoon. If you can just state your name.
Mr. Sallie: Hi there. How are you doing? My name is Ryan Sallie. I am representing
the Great Necks Lakes Association, which represents about 100 homes that back up to
Great Neck Lake, which is one of the lakes Conrad 2, Conrad 1 and Conrad 3, three
lakes that are associated with our Lakes Association. One of which is on the docket to
be filled in that, Eddie was just referring to and just a little quick background, I'm a 20
year Virginia school teacher, Independence Middle School. Anybody, any locals out
there and I also live on Millwood Road of Great Neck Estates. And Before we even kind
of open up things, I just kind of wanted to thank the board here today because it's, you
know, a lot of times things go on in our neighborhoods that we don't have any control
over, but it's nice to have a public hearing like this, that we're allowed to come here and
voice concerns in this kind of democratic society we lived in and have our voices heard
before just decisions are made. So, there's many people here today and so I feel like
we got bumped to the end. So just kind of want to make sure that those people that are
here today in opposition of the Wycliffe Development just stand up at this point and just
be seen and possibly be heard later on.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you for coming.
Mr. Sallie: That's awesome. Thank you guys for being here. So, as the representative
of many people, and we have discussed this, it's been in the works for about two years
since I think we brought it to our the Lake Association and, you know, we usually have
three annual meetings throughout the year and it's definitely gained a lot of ground just
in this past, I'd say in the past three months. I know, Eddie had said something about
the church reaching out to the neighborhood but that was very recent. So since more
awareness has been raised over the course of these few months, many more people
are coming out of the woodwork to speak, to speak up for our neighborhood. So, the
main point of what you're gonna hear today is that number one, the people that are here
are very concerned and we care about our neighborhood that's number one. And
number two, we're asking the board today just to slow things down and to put a halt on
the rezoning and removing that 3.879 acres because once you guys take away that as a
church religious purpose, it's going to allow the development and in that development
will be the homes will be the removal of wetlands. And it's two fronts that were, that
we're worried about. It's not just the homes. So, I know that that was brought up, but
we are very concerned about that wetland Lake Conrad removal of that lake, which
feeds into all the Great Neck Lake and Conrad too and the other lakes that are affected
by it. So many other areas are affected just by the removal of that wetland area. So
please just consider that because we have many people that are here today that are
passionate and we've got some amazing stories from people that lived in the
neighborhoods for 20, 30 years. So again, it's going to come down to the fact that, you
know, we care and that's why we showed up today to let our voices be heard. Myself
included, I have two little girls at home and I told my father-in-law, I said, go take them
around the corner of the park and that very park could potentially be destroyed where
the infant child center is located and I said, you know, Tom, send me a picture. I can
show the board like this is where my kids are playing right now that we have advocated
for to not be torn down and, you know, that is like our overall lofty goal is that this
property be kept as a green space. Great Neck Estates does not have a neighborhood
park, which in many neighborhoods up and down Great Neck do have parks and we
would love to see that happen. And as a lofty goal to keep this space green and to see
it being bought by the city potentially and have that avenue just be addressed, which in
my discussions with Steve Bishard of Bishard Homes that wants to do the development,
he's definitely open to, but we don't want to take off, you know, take off the handcuffs
per se and allow him the opportunity to do whatever he wants this property when this
rezoning goes on. So we're just asking you guys today to hopefully, you know, slow
things down, give us a chance to get more time to, you know, go down other avenues of
possibly the city hearing some more arguments for buying this piece of property,
because we know that once permission is given to rezone and to build, it's something
that we probably can't, you know, undo, once you fill in a lake. It's, we're not going to
put the lake back together after that. And, you know, hearing Mr. Bourdon talk about
the city denying that area a business permit, you know, why do they do that? You
know, that kind of says, okay, well, somebody at some point said this, this should stay a
pristine area, you know, let's not go against that. Let's not, you know, give someone the
permission to do whatever they want in this area and I do believe that Wycliffe wants to
see. The best go on there and they would not just up and fill in a lake, just because
they can. So what Mr. Bourdon was saying about that, we have a very strong
association. We've put together groups, we put together social events. Obviously, we
collect dues and if there was ever a major issue that was going on, the amount of love
and concern that is there for the lake, you know, if the church and the community
needed to work together to help maintain some property, there's no doubt in my mind
seeing how many people are coming out here today that we could help whatever
endeavors or whatever things that the church needed to see done for that lake to help
maintain it instead of just filling it in just because they could. And back when Bishard,
myself, some other board members and Wycliffe had discussed possible solutions to
selling the property. One solution was that they were going to put in a filtration system,
which to us sounded like a good compromise. All right, we're gonna build these homes.
We're gonna take away this lake, this retention lake, which does prevent flooding and
does help filter the water. They said, Hey, but don't, you know, we'll take care of you
guys. We'll help you put in this filtration system and when we went back to the city to
confirm this, because obviously we're to do our homework and double check, the city
didn't know anything about that. So now here we were stuck on a misled where we
were not going to give our consent to these homes and this whole process without
reassurance that the other lakes were going to be taken care of. So that kind of left a
bad taste in GNLAs, the Lake Association's mouth that we don't know what's going to
happen once, you know, this property gets sold and now that we've been given some
false information. Again, we're taking a step back in this whole process that we want
things slowed down. We want things to be reconsidered. We want other alternatives to
be explored before this property is just kind of designated as residential and whatever
Bishard wants to do, it's going to be get done. So that is our, that is our plea, you are
going to hear about many stories today from very concerned neighbors. So please
keep that in mind that we were trying to slow this process and stop this process so that
we all have time to preserve a wetland lake, park area. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you, Mr. Sallie. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Michelle Conti followed by Ronna Marsh.
Mr. Alcaraz: If you can state your name, please.
Ms. Conti: Michelle Conti. As a 25-year member of the original Wycliffe Congregation,
the philosophy of the Presbyterian Church Doctrine compels me to speak up. We are
called on to be active regarding social and moral issues including environmental
concerns. As a Virginia Beach resident, you only have to look around to realize the
biggest threat we face is the when our sister city is drowning in, water. It constantly is in
the news and our leaders promote ways of dealing with flooding and standing water.
Our city actively promotes retention ponds as a formidable tool to combat stormwater
runoff. As a city, we've spent countless dollars to stay above water. Building
infrastructures that include drainage are a large part of our public works budget. Having
a natural watershed is a priceless blessing. Our watershed was even dredged to
maintain its integrity. The idea that we would fill in a long standing natural watershed
easement in order to build 12 more houses defies logic. In addition to filling in a lake,
the removal of 140 mature trees will only exacerbate the issue even further. The cost
and effectiveness of pumping solutions increases the drainage and financial liability
problems for our city. This decision should not be driven by the monetary income; it
creates for the businesses engaged in the transaction. The church has received over
60 years of tax relief and is now requesting a modification of use and boundary change
to profit at the detriment of the neighbors and wildlife that call this area home and have
for decades. The church is not entitled to a zoning change any more than its neighbors
are. Maintaining the status quo provides reasonably expected stability to surrounding
properties. The financial need of the church does not negate the conditions they
accepted when purchasing the property. The lake was here first and should be the
priority in any encroaching development. The developer who has published plans to fill
the watershed has a track record of over promising and under delivering on their prior
projects and is viewed as a negative impact on completed projects in Virginia Beach.
While the project may look possible on the paper plans, just because it could be built
doesn't mean it should be built. There appeared to be errors in the JPA including use of
an outdoor sanctuary, age of the building and bridge being greater than 50 years, and
the submitted size of the impacted area. These items should be more closely examined
for accuracy as it pertains to environmental regulations. I would suggest the City of
Virginia Beach's large public works budget include regular maintenance of this
watershed. The church could donate or sell the wetland portion of the property to its
financial benefit and realize a goal by relieving itself of any ongoing burdens it may
bear. It would set an example of responsible ownership and goodwill to its neighbors.
After all, isn't that what it's all about?
Mr. Alcaraz: Alright, you've exceeded your time. Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Ronna Marsh followed by Virginia Pissaris.
Ms. Marsh: Good afternoon commissioners. I am Ronna Marsh and I would like us to
start calling it Lake Conrad 2 because it is recognized in the National Wetlands
Inventory. You all got an email from me at about 8:30 this morning because I don't have
the luxury of being able to use the visual boards here. But I am concerned that we are
not calling it Lake Conrad 2 because it is part of what is followed for the MS4 DEQ
permit that the city has to have for stormwater. You all should have this in your emails
from me. This is a pond and it is identified as Lake Conrad 2. This was an inspection
that was done by VBGov staffer, Mr. Barnes. John Barnes reviewed the lake, went out
to it, and he checked it out, and then it's reported on back to DEQ as part of our MS-4
permit for stormwater. This is not just about building homes on a lake. This is about
destroying an asset that is our city's. We citizens have paid for this lake for years. We
have an easement in this lake and that easement runs right through the middle of it
before the current owner owned it, I believe and so what you're talking about doing is
giving up an asset of the city. I pay for this with my taxes, as does everyone in this
room, even though it's on that land there, it is in the stormwater management of the city
and we had a bond referendum for five hundred and sixty seven million dollars that I
spoke in favor of because I've been an active member of Stop The Flooding Now and I
encourage people to vote for that and now we're filling in a BMP a lake, I mean,
everyone I've told that this is happening. They cannot believe it. This is not best
management practices. This is a really poor idea to fill this in and if what you're trying to
do is just rubber stamp another development. Why do we even have a planning
commission? Why do you do the domino effect? Because you don't have the site plan,
you're not seeing the full picture here. That's obfuscated by the developer. He's saying,
Oh, they won't do this. They won't do that. No, you don't know what they're going to
do. Once you clear the red light, once you clear the green light for this to get built on,
then there goes the lake. There go in houses on the lake and that is going to affect our
reputation too, just like the houses at Asheville Park. Remember those houses that
we've all contributed 11 million dollars to fix the problem the developer created? You
know, don't make this Asheville Park too, please.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you Ms. Marsh. Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Virginia Pissaris, followed by Wendy Crutchfield.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hi, can you just state your name in the mic for the record, please?
Ms. Pissaris: Yep. Virginia Pissaris. Okay. Hi, I have lived in Great Neck Estate since
1974, when my father and I moved in. So that's almost 50 years. Okay, give or take
and, I've used Red Bridge on and off for that all time. It is a wonderful, beautiful parcel
of land. And that map over there doesn't give it justice because there's no water on it
and there happens to be wetlands there, okay. And I think it's more than an acre, but let
me get to the point. So that wetland area serves as our watershed for not just our
neighborhood, all of Great Neck Road area, the reserve, Great Neck Manor, the
shopping center area. It is a natural watershed for flooding. All of you were sent a
video that I took in the rain of the water going over the bulkhead into Lake Conrad,
okay. It was pouring in there all day long and that was just from the rain from last
Friday. Where's that water gonna go? Can I ask you? Where, if you're gonna fill in
water, okay, the wetlands area, put houses on it and its 12 houses. The plans have
already been made. The houses have already been shown. We have the plans with
us. So, whatever, their lawyer said, it's not true, just to let you know. So, where's the
water gonna go? And then the other thing is, I'm in-charge of Neighborhood Watch. I'm
also the vice president for the Great Neck Civic League, okay. And one of my
neighbors said she's a single mom. We also have a lot of elderly people in the
neighborhood, single because we're widowed and we've never had flood insurance.
We've never had to have flood insurance. We're really lucky because we have the
wetlands; we have the watershed, the natural watershed, all the water goes in there,
goes into Lake Conrad, flows down to the Lynnhaven rivers and out to the Chesapeake
Bay. So, put homes on top of that, you're going to get pollution. You're going to get all
kinds of stuff. It's going to destroy that area, let alone the problems goes, of course, as
Ms. Marsh said, you've got Asheville Park that this developer was contributing to and
Bow Creek. So, I know I have 28 seconds left. Let me see. Okay, so the flood
insurance is a big problem, is Bishard going to guarantee, is he going to pay for our
flood insurance if this goes through, probably not. And it's not in my budget and I know
it's not in other people's budgets. The other thing I want to point out is I did find an
article from 2020. 1 know that Virginia Beach has received met a lot of money, but
apparently here there's a huge bond, three million grant for wetland.
Mr. Alcaraz: Sorry. Thank you.
Ms. Pissaris: Okay. Can I give you a copy of this?
Mr. Alcaraz: You can give it to the clerk.
Ms. Pissaris: Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. We got a lot of speakers. Thank you.
Ms. Pissaris: You're welcome.
Madam Clerk: Wendy Crutchfield followed by Martha Thoreau.
Mr. Alcaraz: State your name please.
Ms. Crutchfield: Hi, I'm Wendy Crutchfield and I am a property owner, 1971 member of
the Civic League and the Great Neck Lakes Association. I emailed a very detailed letter
already and I appreciate the time you may have taken to read through the facts
presented. I want to concentrate my comments today on the existing use of the
property and the precedent the city has set for protecting our runoff sites. I'm asking
that you include protection of this necessary Virginia Beach asset. You have received
about 40 letters in opposition and many people here today. There are almost 2,500
signatures on the petition. Not even one of those opponents wants to prevent a
property owner from selling what they don't want. If the church doesn't want to use the
property for religious purposes, that's their right. The fact, however, is that today, as of
the moment of this hearing, the church is still using the property for religious purposes.
Just look at the sign on the property that says Summer Sermon Series continues at 10
a.m. The larger question is if residential housing should be restored as the use of the
property and any proffers that you might apply to that modification, the current R-10 was
established for large tracts of land before the church ever bought the land on this
application. When they requested the conditional use permit, the city granted it
because it had the support of the community. At that time, it was a benefit to the
residents of the new neighborhood of Great Neck Estates. It was also a benefit to the
city who had an existing stormwater drainage easement through the land and into Great
Neck Lakes. When Great Neck Estates was developed in the 50s, the city required the
developer to grant them ownership of the canal for stormwater drainage while they
maintained an easement through the Wycliffe property, which at the time was used as
hunting fishing grounds. The precedent was established then that the city required the
developer to grant ownership for the stormwater drainage facility in the city, just like
they did for Great Neck Estates. Further, precedent was re-established in 1991 when a
property owner in Chicks Beach applied to fill in a runoff lake to build homes. The city
filed for condemnation of the lake and paid the seller fair market value. You can ask our
city attorney, Stiles. That property, Pleasure House Lake, is right now part of the Flood
Protection Program improvements to Lake Bradford and Chub Lake. It is vital to the
stormwater operations in Virginia. Lake Conrad should not be filled in for the same
reason that Pleasure House Lake was purchased by the city. It is an integral part of our
runoff operating system that flows into the river and the bay. Finally, the bridge called
Red Bridge by the community connects two streets in the neighborhood, Millwood and
Poplar Point. It has been used by the public openly and consistently for seven decades
to not only travel to church, but to deliver newspapers, to visit arcades and now
swimming facilities, to patronize nearby restaurants and to swing children, to learn how
to ride bikes and have a solitary moment with God in the outdoor sanctuary and with
nature. We ask that it not be replaced with a few incompatible houses. The
development criteria for that was applied in 1950, defended in 1991, and promised to
the citizens of Virginia Beach in the flood referendum should be applied today, which
would be to grant the lake to the city and to preserve a buffer zone of Great Neck Road.
Thank you for your service and your careful consideration of this recommendation.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Mr. Plumlee: Mr. Chairman, I just had a question of that last resident. I don't know if
now if it is the right time to ask a question. If you want me to wait, I'm fine.
Mr. Alcaraz: This is specifically to her?
Mr. Plumlee: Yes, because she brought up the religious use on the property.
Mr. Alcaraz: Ms. Crutchfield please come forward.
Mr. Plumlee: You said that there is an outdoor like an altar or a seating area with the
cross. Is that where they conduct services, outdoor services?
Ms. Crutchfield: The church itself does not use that outdoor sanctuary anymore. The
residents do, people come by and just have a moment of solitude. But what I was
referring to in my speech was the advertisement, the big sign that's on the parcel that's
on this application to have the modification change. There's a sign advertising current
services and that is a religious use.
Mr. Plumlee: But you're not aware of the church using that area?
Ms. Crutchfield: No.
Mr. Plumlee: Okay.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Martha, followed by Lisa Smith.
Mr. Alcaraz: State your name, please.
Ms. Thoreau:Good afternoon. Martha Thoreau. Things aren't always as they seem and
though some would have you believe that this is a simple housekeeping item, and
Eddie, as in Eddie Bourdon, attorney Bourdon, would have you and us believe that
there is nothing to see here. Indeed, there is much more than meets the eye. You see,
we do not subscribe to attorney Bourdon's explicit opinion that we need not be here that
the matter at hand is unrelated to anything else regarding the church's sale to Builder
Bishard. We all know that that is not the case. There exists hard evidence to the
contrary. So, here's a not so hypothetical question for you. Do you think it wise,
prudent, responsible, etc. to build a house, no make that houses, on a lakebed that was
filled in for the purpose of doing so? Another question, would you buy a house on a
lakebed such as this? Or answer me this one, would you think the city should be held
accountable to any future buyers who bought houses by virtue of the fact that it
permitted such development? Kind of like the Asheville Park boondoggle. It is said that
the Planning Commission's job is to determine appropriate land use for this city. And
while it sounds like you have an easy task before you today, the citizens of this city beg
to differ with you. Already thousands have signed a petition decrying the potential
actions on this property and many are here today to ask you to stop this nonsense in its
tracks. You see, it is not going to go away so easily. We are appalled to even be
having this conversation given our stormwater management problems and costly
advisements. We know that you have been advised and counseled on this matter. We
know who appointed you to this commission and we know that your intention is to green
light this matter for the purposes of allowing a builder who is well connected to the
power structure of this city to move forward with destroying this cherished site that is a
natural stormwater management system for his personal gain. We don't think it wise to
allow this to happen. The question here today goes far beyond changing the
designation of the use of this property. You know that your approval of this item at
today's hearing will green light the project. You know that by approving it you will be
dumping it on council's desk to those public servants to tell us go away, there's nothing
we can do. Integrity matters in all things. Do the right thing here, folks, you have the
knowledge, you have the power. Otherwise, you will be go down the history books as
being complicit puppets of the City of Virginia Beach political system circa 2023. Thank
you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Lisa Smith, followed by Neil Randorff.
Ms. Smith: Thank you very much for allowing us to share our opinions and our
concerns. I'm Lisa Smith, a homeowner in Virginia Beach in Laurel Cove. Laurel Cove
is the neighborhood right next to Great Neck Estates. We also are on bodies of water,
part of Great Neck Lake and by the way, it is not a pond. It has a name, Lake Conrad.
So, I just want you to be sure, it might be small, but it is a lake and it does have a name
and that's part of the Great Neck Lakes. I am here representing a lot of neighbors in
Laurel Cove and for Great Neck Estates in related to stormwater. I sent in, and I
believe you all have seen photos that I sent in about a week ago, showing what Laurel
Cove neighborhood and Willowood Lane, which is one street off of Great Neck Road,
looks like after stormwater. That is what could happen and probably would happen in
Great Neck Estates, and I'm sure they've had stormwater issues. I'm not against what
Wycliffe is trying to do. I'm not against really anything on the development. I am
concerned about what they're planning to do, but I am concerned 100% for Great Neck
Estates and other neighborhoods if the pond is filled, the pond is, Conrad Lake is filled
in. It would cause the stormwater issues to continue and I'm proving it out just on
showing you what happened on Willowood Lane. Thanks again very much.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Madam Clerk: Neil Randorff, followed by Chris Servetus.
Mr. Randorff:Good afternoon, my name is Neil Randorff. I'd congratulate all of you for
still being awake. I've been a citizen of Virginia Beach since 1999 to live on Pineland
Lane, which is in the Great Neck Estates area. I have several comments to make with
respect to environmental considerations of what I'll call the Wycliffe development, which
is the background for this discussion, actually. You can change the use permit, but
where is it really going is the question. For two years, I was president of the Great Neck
Lake Association, which represents 100 homeowners on the lake. During my tenure,
we began a water sampling quality system with the Lynnhaven River now. And we
created the opportunity to hydro-rake the lake and the coves in the areas near shore. I
have a few qualifications on this issue. I studied oceanography at the Naval Academy.
You say, so what that was 50 years ago. I spent 27 years as a nuclear submariner with
emphasis on discharges from that ship into the environment. After retirement, I was
chairman of the International Cable Protection Committee, which represents 97% of the
world's submarine telecommunications and power cables, maintenance, installation,
and all the environmental concerns that go along with it. I was a founding member of
the International Electro Technical Commission Committee 114, which deals with all
offshore renewable energy development techniques. That would include again,
installation, maintenance, and environmental impacts of all those. I was also a founding
member of the Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium, which did all the original
economic and environmental studies for offshore wind Virginia. A couple of items since
that sampling program began almost six years ago; Great Neck Lake has improved in
stability and test results to the point where Lynnhaven said, we don't need six sample
points anymore, we just need three. This is due to the positive response of the citizens
on that lake, and in the areas, paying attention to runoff and waste. Over the years, the
lake has had algae blooms to the point where the algae growth clogged the spillway into
the Lynnhaven, and caused a threat of flooding to all the homes on that lake. I don't
have any pictures. The hydro-raking cost the homeowners tens of thousands of dollars,
but removed tons of debris and silt from the lake, which caused some of the algae
development. We've since developed an annual springtime treatment program, which
does to a great extent deal with a lot of the algae, none of this is financed by the city.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Randorff. Thank you very much.
Mr. Randorff: Pleasure.
Madam Clerk: Chris Servetus followed by Andrew Broyles.
Mr. Servetus:Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for taking the time to hear this.
My name is Chris Servetus. I'm a long time or lifelong resident of Virginia Beach and
longtime resident of Great Neck Estates. And I agree this is an awkward situation and
process. You all have a very focused decision to make, but I believe there's some
extenuating circumstances here that warrant some extra consideration in this whole
process that takes it out of the norm. And I'm sorry to be redundant, but Ronny, you
stole all my thunder. I'm going to have to just try and keep this brief and move on. I
believe there's some extra consideration because, I believe there's unanswered
questions about the potential environmental impact that will result from removing the
religious use of this property. Not only does the proposed development of this site
demand the removal of over 140 mature trees, there's significant stormwater
management implications associated with the decision that I don't think are fully
captured in the application or in subsequent staff reports. Clearly noted as a city asset
complete with a stormwater management ID number an inspection report from earlier in
January of last year details lake Conrad 2 as a well established wetlands wet pond and
an integral part of the city's stormwater management. It has been serving the city
community and neighborhood for years. Simultaneously, the owner has enjoyed the
benefit of this property being off the city tax rolls for years through this religious use
exemption and whether under duress or otherwise, I don't believe that it is proper now
to convey this property that's going to orchestrate the destruction of the city asset for
financial gain. That's my opinion, but I feel this is a city asset that can't be caught up in
this financial transaction to sell the property. So, I ask that you do not approve this
application as it's listed. At a minimum, I'd like to see it deferred indefinitely until we find
a comprehensive wetlands study and environmental impact study on the removal of
Lake Conrad 2. Sure that if you proceed to do this, I would ask that you remove the
portion of the property that contains Lake Conrad so that we can maintain this city asset
for the wellbeing of the community. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Andrew Broyles, followed by Derek Copeland.
Mr. Broyles: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, commissioners. My name is Andrew
Broyles. I'm a property owner at 1533 Custom Street in Great Neck Estates. I'm here
because my parents lived here from the day they retired until they passed and they
loved Great Neck Estates. This application sounds harmless, but the reality is you are
voting to destroy a sanctuary type area for two different businesses financial gain with
this site plan for this development. The blue is the lake, so you see some houses being
built there. This site plan is why all these people are here today. If you are voting I on
this application because you are led to believe you are saving a church, how much do
you really know about the financial dynamics of this church and its congregations or its
trustees and what have they done to better their financial position? And if you are
voting aye because the developer has informed you, like he did us that he gambled
twice with non-refundable deposits and made a pretty big bet that you're voting aye. I
hope you will not be influenced that because I certainly am not. Furthermore, your aye
vote puts fat stacks of money in this developer's hands. According to NHB, the average
custom builder profits 21 to 23 percent, which translates to 1.68 million dollars for the
developer with your aye vote. Considering your aye vote creates building lots on large
amounts of fill is irresponsible. I've been a Class A remodeling and structural repair
contractor in Virginia Beach for 45 years, and I've been the one who has delivered the
bad news, many times to Virginia Beach owners that their house was built on unstable
soil and the repair will be multi-thousands of dollars and sometimes cheaper to tear the
house down. So, I have two questions for you. Would you or your family buy a house
built on this lake fill? Or if you were developing this, would you feel honorable with your
disposable LLC and your one year warranty and care of something drastic happened to
one of your buyers from this gamble? I also wonder why this developer couldn't seek R-
75 zoning and stay out of the lake with houses and streets. Instead, this applicant has
produced one option when there are many, I doubt the original planners or visionaries
for the R-10 status before this source was ever build, ever considered the R-10 zoning
building in a lake but instead would have made it a focal point for the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, the church shows a build on the better part of this parcel. I am
requesting this application be conditioned with a site plan, not this one, and not a
planning commission vote with no site plan, and the condition site plan does the
following. Reduce the number of structures and road to zero that would be built on fill
and retain to lake, included traffic light at Millwood Harbor and Great Neck for the
increased traffic at this intersection. My mother would never turn left at either entrance
coming out of Great Neck Estates and many here will tell you the same thing. It's like
crossing an interstate except worse because of all the cars turning to Great Neck
Estates and Great Neck Manor. My mother drove all the way to Laurel Cove to turn
around to neighborhood to go to the grocery store for 20 years.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you, sir.
Mr. Broyles: Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Derek Copeland, followed by Julia Cherry.
Mr. Copeland: Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Derek Copeland. I am the
acting president for the Great Neck Estate Civic League, which is the neighbor to the
church. But today I'm here just as a resident of that neighborhood and a resident of this
city because of concerns that were brought to my attention through the development,
potential development of the land being presented to you today. A lot of things are
presented in the sense of its only one thing you're doing. What are you doing? You're
just looking at the land to say, can they sell the land? Can we re rebrand it so that they
can sell it not being as church use? I have a five-year-old son and he's currently in the
why stage. And in the why stage, you ask the question, why do I need to do that? Why
do I need to do that? And the easy thing for me to say is because I said so and leave it
at that. But that is not what I teach my children because I believe why is an important
question. It's a question I think you should be asking yourselves today. Why are they
asking to do this? They're not asking just to sell the land. They're asking to sell the
land to a developer. A developer that I learned was a private sale. We were never
even presented the awareness that this land was being considered for sale. It wasn't a
public opening to anyone to be considered for the land. When they first went into, they
decided they needed to sell the land. I respect that. They own the land. They have the
right. However, it never gave us the opportunity to assist them in finding a good
opportunity for a buyer. Someone at the church went out and found someone. Made a
deal with Bishard, and in doing so, a deal was signed, and now the church was
committed. About two years ago, I first kind of found out about this, and when I did, I
thought, well. I'll tell you what, this seems like not the best use case for the land. I
would love to have had a park for my family to go to in this neighborhood. I've actually
had some conversations and discovered that with Parks and Recreation, there's
currently a request to have all neighborhoods be within 10 minutes walking distance of a
city park. We do not fall into that category and here we have land that does meet the
qualifications and we have actually had conversations with Parks and Recreation and
this land does meet that qualification. It is something that there might be interest in the
city. It was stated that they went to the city and they asked them, they did not. You can
probably all tell me right now that the city is not a single entity. You go to one person
and you don't speak to everybody. They went to the early intervention program and
asked if they were interested, not the city at large. The city at large is interested. There
are other parts of it, but right now there's a contract and the church has no ability to do
any kind of a conversation because they are under contract. I think there should be
more opportunity given to them to consider other options and you are here at one more
step to help us achieve that for them. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Julia Cherry followed by Kim Chapman.
Ms. Cherry: Hi. Good afternoon. My name is Julia Cherry. I'm a resident of Great
Neck Estates. My big concern here is stormwater protection. The City of Virginia
Beach has paid a lot of money for the Dewberry study. You've learned that we are
getting tremendous amounts of rain due to climate change. Friday afternoon, last
Friday, when it was raining extremely hard, I went out there and videotaped from Red
Bridge, Lake Conrad 2, and the surrounding area of Wycliffe Church. The water flow
was streaming over the dam into the bigger part of the lake. But Lake Conrad 2 holds a
tremendous amount of water. The four acres of green space absorbs a tremendous
amount of water. I have pictures from before the rain and after the rain. The difference
in the size of the pond. The City of Virginia Beach while the property was under
contract of Bishard went over there to do a cleanup around the lake. They took out
approximately 100 trees, left a lot of the debris around, I have pictures of that too and
what that did when they were taken out trees, they drove heavy equipment over the
dam which caused it to collapse the pipe literally broke. The water in the Lake Conrad 2
actually was made smaller because the wall was lowered, but if out there in the rain, the
delineation lines seem very out of place from what the engineering firm hired to do the
assessment has said. We think the property needs to be re-evaluated by a qualified
engineer that the city finds and redo the delineation lines. I've spoken with Skip Stiles at
Wetlands Watch. He stated he has never seen a lake filled in and this is indeed a lake.
I implore you to look at some of the videos posted on Facebook of the water flowing
over the dam and the size of the Lake Conrad, the water extends probably 10 feet. You
cannot get an accurate account if you go over there and do your site plan and look at
the lake in the middle of the winter. There were a lot of species of trees that Bay
engineering missed. They did not put it on their paperwork and we've gone out there
with a biologist and have counted 140 mature trees and a lot of species of plants that
were not listed on the site plan. So, I have given the ladies over here copies that gives
more detail, but to the knowledge of Skip Stiles with Wetlands Watch, he has never
seen a lake filled in in coastal Virginia.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Cherry: Thank you. Appreciate your time. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Kim Chapman followed by Jim Allen.
Ms. Chapman: Hi, good afternoon. I'm Kimberly Chapman. I live in Great Neck
Estates. I've only lived there for about four years. But I have significant concerns about
what the builder wants to do there, and I understand what your role is in terms of its
religious to residential, but I think the fact that it's been brought up that this property
does have a city asset on it that is a BMP. Lake Conrad is defined as a BMP. I think I
saw it in some paperwork from 1990s and I'm not that familiar with BMPs, though I own
a business on Production Road that has a BMP, and I know we have to keep it well
maintained because otherwise we will flood our neighbors over there on Production
Road. So, it is defined as a non-structural BMP, and it is for the preservation of natural
features. And I know that if we fill in that or do anything to discourage the drainage that
that provides, we're going to have significant flooding in our neighborhood and that's
very concerning. You know, as we talked about, most of us, actually all of us were not
required to have flood insurance. We're in the X area and that would be a significant
burden to us and also the impact that we'll have on Great Neck Road. So, I would ask
you to please, deny their request or as Chris Servetus said to have it revised so that the
city maintains the asset that is Lake Conrad. Thank you very much.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Jim Allen, followed by Susie Rice.
Mr. Allen: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the Junior Peace Planning
Commission. Thanks for listening to us today. We all have some issues.
Mr. Alcaraz: Can you state your name for the record, please?
Mr. Allen: I am James Allen.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Mr. Allen: I live at Great Neck Estates. My family moved there in 1985, so we've been
there for a day or two. When we moved into the neighborhood, we had standing water
in our driveway at the [Inaudible] [01:56:44]. Today, we have standing, well, it finally
drained. But today, if it rains, we have standing water in our driveway. My neighbor
across the street today has a mud hole, he didn't drive up yet. So, we have issues with
stormwater. And my concern is that in regard to Lake Conrad, and you guys should
have been there last weekend when it was raining. It looked a lot like a miniature
Niagara Falls almost, but it was tough. There's a lot of water that goes into that little
lake or pond or whatever you want to call it. And if they close that fill that thing in, I
wonder where the water's gonna go. It's gonna go some of it, for sure, is going to make
it to our community, which is a walking distance from the church, actually, of just a
couple of minutes. We all have issues about that project that's going on up there. We
have a lovely neighborhood, and we just wish that you all would take serious
consideration to how it may value our standard of living in our community. And since
I'm an Army guy and they said, keep it simple, stupid. Then I'm gonna keep it simple
because all of the real main points have already been discussed and if you would do
that, just consider it. We would certainly appreciate it. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Susie Rice, followed by Chris Ledford.
Ms. Rice: Good afternoon. I'm one of those elderly people they were talking about
earlier. I've began my teaching career for Princess Anne County at Celia Elementary
School. I taught fifth grade, and I have lived in Great Neck Estates for 40 years. I live
four lots down from the overflow spill dam out of Lake Conrad 2. So, I have seen a lot
happen in my neighborhood in regard to the property that we're discussing today, and I
am gonna throw a curve ball to the city. Reducing the boundary for Wycliffe
Presbyterian Church is acceptable but allowing the remaining property to be zoned for
lots designated R-10 and not compatible with long established neighborhood of Great
Neck Estates where homes are predominantly R-20 and thus allowing the City of
Virginia Beach to pass the buck to a developer to escape the historical difficulty. The
city has had meeting MS 2017 of the Wetlands Act and revised just recently last month.
Required for land designated as wetland for inspection, dredging, reduction of possible
contaminants and reporting to the DEQ is not acceptable. Also is of concern is that the
area drains stormwater by way of two pipes. They measure 24 inches and 30 inches
directly from the north Great Neck Road. They drain 37 acres, mostly an impervious
land of water into a spillway, into Lake Conrad 2, then into Lake Conrad 3 and 1 , and
then into the Lynnhaven. The 101 Great Neck Lake Association members have worked
for over 12 years to maintain Great Neck Lake or Lakes Conrad 1 and 3 as designated
by the Virginia Beach City. We have dredged, we've reduced pollutants, and we've
maintained the health and provide educational activities for over 25 acres of lake that is
fed by the Wycliffe property. Congratulations to the city for adopting a $567.5 million
flood protection plan that does not include the Wycliffe property. But it is not acceptable
to solve the Wycliffe wetland problem with congested building, adding traffic woes, more
required services and destruction of wildlife and vegetation, and lack of compatibility
with a long established neighborhood of Great Neck Estates.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you, Ms. Rice.
Ms. Rice: Why can't a city of nearly 500,000 people in a $2.5 billion budget find a better
solution.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Chris Ledford, followed by Jamie Curran.
Mr. Ledford: Hello.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hello.
Mr. Ledford: My name is Chris Ledford. I'm a resident of Great Neck Estates. I wanted
to follow up, I think it was really great what Ms. Rice said. It's interesting because I
wanted to touch on those points as well, I was very impressed with Mr. Bourdon's
points, so I wanted to kind of address that. He was very, it was interesting and with his
staff, he researched some stuff that goes back a long way. I wish I had time to research
a few things myself, and that's why I'm asking you to defer this today that is my request.
I'm not gonna talk about the lake and swamp and all this stuff. I want you to defer the
request so that we can look into the rezoning. I don't think if you act today, you'll be
doing a service for the city because like Ms. Crutchfield said, and Ms. Rice, there have
been decisions that have been made on North Great Neck Road that depend upon this
Lake Conrad 2 as a BMP. The city has a responsibility to maintain that. I'm talking
about as far back as Silver Hill at Great Neck. I'm talking about the recent Rite Aid. I'm
talking about 37 acres of impervious surface that anytime the development or changes
to that came before this group and there has to be minutes. I just don't have time to
research that. I don't have a legal staff or a paralegal staff. But if you give us some
more time, we will find one and we will find the evidence that we need that shows that
decisions made by this group, this board, previous members, obviously made decisions
that were based upon this property being a city responsibility and a city BMP. In other
words, those main that Ms. Rice talked about are there. They are there to help drain
and mitigate the pollution that comes off of 37 acres of high density commercial
development. Those commercial developments individually over time, used that lake
and those chain of lakes as a reason to be approved. I hope you follow what I'm saying,
that the lake we're talking about here should be separated out from this zoning change
because the city should own it. They should take responsibility. They already have
because they've passed projects that depend on it. I wanna describe for you real quick
that that system of lakes is three levels in elevation. This one we're talking about here
Lake Conrad 2 is the highest level. There's a spillway and a dam that goes into the next
lake. Then there's a spillway and a dam that goes into the Lynnhaven River. I came
originally to talk about my business, which depends upon clean water in the Lynnhaven,
but I'm not gonna have time to do that. So I wanna keep it simple. I want to ask the
same thing that Mr. Bourdon asked, and that is to look at the history of this property and
look at it as something that needs to be, we need time. I think a decision today to
change zoning. I think a decision today to approve the sale of the land, which is what
we're here about. I understand DEQ, Army Corps needs to be involved if a lake is to be
altered. But before that we need to understand that this piece of property actually
should belong to the city. This lake, especially this BMP, the city is responsible for it.
They've made decisions based on that. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Jamie Curran, followed by Mary LaVoy.
Mr. Alcaraz: How you doing?
Mr. Curran: Good afternoon. My name is Jamie Curran. I've been in Great Neck
Estates for 30 years. I wanted to thank you guys for doing what you do. You guys are
really the bottom line as far as maintaining the quality of life in Virginia Beach and what
you do is integral to how it affects all of us. So, thank you for that. As you can see, this
neighborhood and the folks that live there we're passionate. We look just like you guys.
We're black, we're white, we're young, we're old that's not aimed at anybody. The old
part, but it's really about the quality of life in Virginia Beach. And just to clarify a couple
things that, that the lawyer for Eddie, for Mr. Eddie, for Bishard and the church, he's
representing both sides of that. I don't know if you guys are aware of that or not. I think
it should be obvious at this point, seems to me that's a little bit of a conflict of interest
maybe, maybe not, I'm sure he is grinning behind me, shake his head and everything
else. So, we did not, the neighborhood as a whole did not have worded this until about
six weeks ago and then they called a meeting and told us what was going on. So, to
say that we were a part of that decision, is just not accurate. I guess really the main
portion of what we're asking for is that that lake system, the Great Neck Lake system,
gets the runoff from the reserve from Great Neck Manor, all the entities from Mill Dam
Road to Cox High School, both sides of Great Neck Road. So, it's a lot of storm runoff.
It ultimately ends up in the Lynnhaven, which ultimately ends up in the Chesapeake
Bay. So, while this might seem like a little decision about, you know, who's gonna put in
12 houses where, and fill in a lake, not a pond, fill in a lake, we would really ask you to
reconsider, what he's asking for. And obviously he's telling you what you should be
weighing in on, what you shouldn't in true lawyer fashion. So anyway, thank you for
your time. I do appreciate it. I hope that you give this the thought and the attention that
it deserves because it affects all of us ultimately. So, thank you for your time.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Mary LaVoy, followed by Mark Bowden.
Mr. Alcaraz: Is Mary here? Our next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Mark Bowden, followed by Jonathan Cherry.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mark's not here.
Madam Clerk: Jonathan Cherry, followed by Kim Johnson.
Mr. Cherry: Good afternoon. My name is Jonathan Cherry. I'm a lifelong resident of
Virginia Beach, grew up in Great Neck Estates. My mom lives there now. I learned to
fish at Red Bridge. My daughter plays at Red Bridge still. It's got a long history
amongst my family, so to say that it's just a small pond is inaccurate that's not being
used. It's being used still by the community and the building that you say has fallen
apart had just got a new roof four or five years ago. So, I don't know why it would do
that, but my main purpose though, is to discuss the initial environment survey
conducted by a Bay Environmental on the Virginia Beach Lake that may have
overlooked crucial elements of its ecosystem. The survey was conducted during the
winter, potentially missing the majority of native wetland species and underestimating
the area of the pond and surrounding wetland habitat. This raises concern about the
accuracy of the measurements and data collected particularly in the relation to potential
construction projects in this area. By conducting the survey in the winter when many
wetland species are dormant or hibernating, we risk underestimating the true
biodiversity and ecological value of Virginia Beach Lake. This oversight could have
significant implications for any construction plans in the area, particularly in terms of the
structural integrity of homes built on wetlands. I believe a second survey at the least,
should be done to at possibly see if there are any different results. So, we know we're
working with correct data. I propose that we undertake a second environmental survey
on the Virginia Beach Lake within the next 90 days. This timeline allows us to promptly
address concerns raised and proceed with the necessary steps to ensure accurate data
collection. The process will be engaging and a reputable environmental survey firm is
absolutely needed. In conclusion, esteem members of the Virginia Beach Planning
Commission, I urge you to seriously consider the need for a second environmental
survey on the Virginia Beach Lake before we make any serious decisions going
forward, at least within a 90-day period to buy a little bit of time to make sure things are
done correctly. Everything everybody has said about the flooding, that's all accurate
and there's a lot of missed things that could be impact of the environment, economics
and social situations with filling in that lake. Please consider a little bit more time.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Next speaker.
Madam Clerk: Kim Johnson, followed by WebEx Speaker Rebecca Valadon.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hello.
Ms. Johnson:Hello. Good afternoon. I'm Kim Johnson. I do not live adjacent to this
property. I'm a realtor in the city. I heard less than 48 hours ago about this proposal
and I decided that it was time to speak out. I don't have a lot of facts before you. I'm
going to use common sense. An old penny looks dull. A new penny looks bright, but
we don't really call it a penny. It's a US cent, and when you put them together, you
have cents and when you put many of them together, you have, and you can make a lot
of cents. And that is how I'm going to frame this for you today. You also hear a lot
about artificial intelligence and how great it is. You are not artificial intelligence. You
are the people representing the people of this city and will walk out of this room
because you care making a decision. Hopefully, it's correct. Is there a right or wrong?
I'm not sure. But the best decision that you can make to make our community the best
it can be. So, here's the bottom line. This does not make sense. Yes, you have an
edict. You move forward with it. You follow the rules. I believe the builder has already
gone before the DEQ and several other regulatory agencies, and I believe it's the size of
the area that's to be filled in Conrad 2 is a proposal that would mean they can just
bypass all of that. They pretty much have to rubber stamp it. You don't have to rubber
stamp it. You have the power. It's your intelligence and your collective ability to
synthesize the information and figure out does it make sense and does it make a lot of
sense, and you have the power. One of my favorite sayings is that don't ever doubt for
a moment this paraphrased that a handful of people can make a difference because it's
the only thing that ever has. So now what I'm going to do is implore you on behalf of
everyone in our city, because we don't wanna set precedents, et cetera, that are
dangerous to our health and our community and make this a win, win, win, win. You
have the power. You can take, you can allow the ability to sell, and you can allow the
ability to buy. It could even be this particular developer if he wants to, I think the
developer put forth this proposal because he wants to make money. That's fine, that's
the American way. He can make money. The church can make money. The citizens
can have what they need to protect them and the city can benefit from it because the
city sets aside money to create, you know, solutions for stormwater problems, to leave
open space for the community to be able to connect and develop strength and unity in
our neighborhoods, and that's what we need. You have the power today to defer. You
have the power to go, don't tell me that, you know, a contract cannot be amended. I'm
a realtor. I know they can't, and you can move forward and create something really
wonderful for this city, for this community, and for everybody involved. It's possible.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Next speaker,
Madam Clerk Rebecca Valadon, via WebEx.
Ms. Valadon: Hello everyone, I hope you can hear me.
Mr. Alcaraz: Hello, can you hear us?
Ms. Valadon: Hello, can you hear me?
Mr. Alcaraz: Apologize for the difficulties. Do we have another speaker?
Madam Clerk: That's it.
Mr. Alcaraz: That's it?
Madam Clerk: Yep.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right. If you can stick to rebuttals to all 22 speakers.
Mr. Bourdon: First of all, on behalf of the church, who is the only party that I represent in
this matter at all, we appreciate the voices today. I want to clear up one of the things
that was insinuated or said, I did at the public meeting, encourage that the church held,
encourage people to come and speak. Said it's your absolute right to come and speak.
I wouldn't told anyone not to come and speak, but what I absolutely did say is that don't
be angry with members of the planning commission or city staff, if they tell you that this
application doesn't involve anything to do with filling this pond, because it doesn't, the
comment said you've heard today, many of them have potentially great relevance, but
not this commission. You have no jurisdiction over that and I will say this, if there is and
I'm fairly certain that there isn't, but maybe there should be and that's one of the thing,
the comments that was made, I think Chris made it that was a good comment. It is I'm
certain, there's no public drainage easement over that pond. Maybe there should be, I
don't believe it's a regional BMP, but maybe it should be. The reality of this is you all
don't have the power of the purse, the City Council does. All the requests to defer or
not do anything for you all doesn't do anything other than bring this back before you to
hear the same thing over again. The City Council is the body that can solve the
problem in a number of different ways but you all can't. I'm sorry, you can't. You got a
simple application for which there is no precedent. This property has not been used for
religious use. There's no condition that says it has to be. The church, as I said, the
church isn't applying to fill the pond. The church doesn't want to, and it can be, you can
call it pond, call lake, whatever. But the point of that is that if as Ms. Marsh says, it's got
all this, you know, wetlands and other authority that it is a drainage way for other
properties, then it won't get approved to fill it. They're not gonna be able to get the
regulatory approval from DEQ, Corps of Engineers and the City of Virginia Beach, but
they're conflating two different things and been spoken and told to them as clearly as I
can possibly communicate it. And if you all had the authority to do something about it,
then that would be one thing. But to suggest that this church who's not trying to put
illegal aliens in that building, they're not trying to do anything with the property other
than get rid of the liability and if the city wants to purchase it, they have, you know, they
have every ability to do that and if they need to, they have every ability to do it, but you
don't. You don't have the power to make that decision. This body should follow the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, excuse me the planning staff, and
forward this on to City Council and consistent with the law and consistent with the
recommendation that they've made. City Council, they'll hear these voices and I'm sure
they'll hear them when it gets there. They can defer it and they can look for solutions to
this problem but at no point did I suggest that the city indicated they wouldn't, you know,
the staff said they couldn't support a rezoning of the property to office. Someone tried
to misconstrue that, there should be a solution to this and the church hopes that there is
one, but the simple fact remains that this part of their property is not and has not been
used for religious purpose and based on every precedent that exists, this should be
approved, but it's not approving the filling of the pond, as I said in my presentation to
begin with, and you heard exactly what I anticipated that you would hear and the church
isn't telling people not to come and speak their piece. I just simply told them at the
meeting that don't be, you know, upset with you all because this is not what you're being
asked to approve. You're not approving anybody filling anything, that's the point.
You're just simply following the law and allowing the church the opportunity, as a
number of speakers said, they don't begrudge the city, I mean, the church's ability to
sell its property that it doesn't need, that's a liability, that's an expense that they can't
afford and that can help them move forward and stay in business, so to speak, not a
business. But the reality will be that if they can't do this, and however it all shakes out
with the decision makers, then the next thing that would happen theoretically, I'm not,
you know, trying to say the church is about to close shop at all, but they could, they just
say, you know, we're done, we're gonna find another piece of property move. And
guess what, the whole property gets developed at that point and there's still nothing's
happening with regard to the lake and address or the pond and addressing it. But only
City Council can do that, that's the bottom line here and I respectfully request that you
will recommend, as your staff has recommended the church be permitted to jettison, not
to rezone, but simply the use permit was overly broad to start with, and there's no
reason for it to remain under that use permit. The part of the property that is not, has
not, and will not be used for religious purpose and is not being used for one now, and
I'm glad that Mr. Plumlee cleared that up. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, Mr. Bourdon. Any questions Mr. Plumlee?
Mr. Plumlee: I just wanna say for everybody here that Eddie Bourdon is a wonderful
person and a terrific attorney, okay and he's amazing. And it's not about people's
motives, we're all here to do a job together and listen to one another. So my question,
Mr. Bourdon is, I went there, I walked the site. I saw infrastructure for there to be
services outside. I saw there was a cross; I saw there was a seating area. It appears to
have been there for quite some time. I asked the question, it doesn't look like the
church is using it currently, but it appears to have been infrastructure installed for the
purpose of religious activity on that portion of the property, so that's what I viewed. I
don't have anyone else to ask because no one else is here from the church, and so I'll
ask you. What was the purpose of that installation to your knowledge?
Mr. Bourdon: My understanding is and I can't speak to the cross, my understanding is
the property has been to some degree utilized by the community as a park. I mean,
that's the church has been very open. They're part of the community and that's why
they allowed the city to use the building for all these years that's on this part of the
property that's not a part of the church, not a part of its, you know, religious use for, you
know, the infant STEM program. But I'm not aware, I'm told it has not been used since
the church first began back in the late 60s when they hadn't built, you know, the rest of
their facility and they hadn't built a sanctuary, hadn't built anything. So the beginning
onset of the church or its operation for a number of years, that building on this property
is the only building that existed until they built their initial sanctuary and then built onto
that and then got, the school and all those things, but that was all back in the 70s. So
then they tell me that it hasn't been used in any way for religious purpose.
Mr. Alcaraz: Any other speakers for any questions? None. All right. Well, we're
closed for speakers. I'm talking about commissioners right now.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you all.
Mr. Alcaraz: Having said that, we'll close and we'll go into discussion. I'll start. I read
this numerous times, I read all the emails I read, I met with staff, and they're asking
bottom line, they're asking for a modification of conditions and what they're asking for is
reduce their eight acres to 4.13 acres, that's all they're asking for. That's what they're
asking our vote for. What they're asking us is to take this modification and reduce it.
What they do with this property, what it's zoned, what it's currently zoned, doesn't have
anything to do with what this application in front of us is about. It's just asking to modify
the acreage. That is all we're here to vote for. So that's my understanding, but I just
want y'all to think about that. Mr. Horsley.
Mr. Horsley: I agree with what you've said and you know, I'm very passionate about
what all the speakers have said today, but really that's the only thing we are here to vote
on is to divide that piece of property. And use the part that church is using and let the
church do what they want to do with the rest. If they sell it, so be it. If the community
wants to buy it and they can work it out, that's fine too. But that's their decision. I think
that's all we need to stick to.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Parks.
Mr. Parks: Yeah, I just wanna echo both of those. I mean, I've did my entire graduate
thesis on sea level rise and how it affects Hampton Roads. I was integral to City of
Norfolk with their flood planning. I was a part of all the talks, the Dutch Dialogues. So I
understand all your concerns, but like they're saying, we're not here to discuss filling in
the lake. That's not what was presented to us, so that's not something that we can vote
on. I do agree with everybody that came up and spoke. I think everybody has a right to
be concerned with flooding. It is a huge deal for the city, but I also think that that's the
conversation that's gotta go higher than this board. We are not equipped to handle that
kind of discussion here, and that's not what was being presented as a part of this
application.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Any other questions or discussions Mr. Horsley, no. Mr.
Coston?
Mr. Coston: I'm at [Inaudible] [02-28-14] between like everybody up here because of
what's going on, but my church had to sell property last year, and I'd hate to be in the
position where I'm telling somebody they can't sell what they own and I'm going to have
to rely on staff and those who oversee what gets built and make the requirements for
how that piece of property will drain. Now, I've been told that, Virginia Beach has the
most stringent water restrictions when it comes to runoff of anybody on the East Coast
that's what I've been told. So, I expect that I have to trust our staff, that they will remedy
or take care of what is to happen on this property with whomever purchases it and
whatever they do with it.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Mr. Clemons?
Mr. Clemons:Yes, I'd echo many of the remarks that have already been made, and I
want to thank all of the members of the community, who came out to rebut this
application. I have many of the same concerns that you all expressed pertaining to the
runoff and, you know, all of the other associated issues around that. At the same time, I
know that it is important for us to take a look at this and I do recognize the fact that we
do have limited input with respect to that matter. But I would urge the community to be
as vigorous before the City Council as you have been here and I thank you very much
for that.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Any other comments? Ms. Cuellar?
Ms. Cuellar: I wanna thank all of the residents who came out today and everybody who
wrote, especially wanna thank Wendy Crutchfield. She spent time with me, sharing her
memories and learning more about Great Neck Estates. I have a contrary view
because I believe as a commissioner we also have a responsibility to make
recommendations on the plans of what we want our city to look like. Most everyone
who spoke today told me they were homeowner. I'm a homeowner. I'm humbled by
that. So rights of property owners are very important and it's becomes more complex
for me today, as I've thought about this application and as I sit in Focus Groups for our
comprehensive plan, I hear a lot of conversation about stormwater management. I hear
conversation about protecting ecosystems and open spaces. So I will not be supporting
this application in moving forward.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Mr. Plumlee.
Mr. Plumlee: You know, I contacted the VMRC, I checked into the wetlands position of
this. I checked into the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Board position in this, and it
appears that this particular property and these waters are the subject in some great
respect of what we're looking at. We are the planning commission. We look at the
broad picture. We have to take a broad view from time to time that means looking at
what occurs if it is R-10 and there is no hearing that follows on, whether it should be R-
10, then if its modification is allowed, then they will have a right to develop R-10, so that
is the fact. We may not be able to solve the problem. I agree with that statement by Mr.
Bourdon, but we're giving a recommendation to Council is what we're here to do, and
we're to say what we think should happen along with that and I think there should be a
solution to preserve the BMP for these folks that's my position, might be a minority
position on this board at this time, but I have to give my recommendation that I feel
comfortable giving and I think that's where I fall on it.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you. Anybody else? Mr. Anderson, go ahead.
Mr. Anderson: Thank you. I was one of the commissioners that we were able to do a
site visit a week ago and I concur with Holly that it, you know, it's a beautiful site. It's,
you know, we have to do, we do have to look into even though, you know, we were only
supposed to vote on the zoning of, you know, reducing the property. Consciously, I
can't move forward with approving this, you know, I would have to vote no.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Estaris you have something to say?
Ms. Estaris: Yes. I applaud everyone for coming out. I know it's difficult to fight for
something you really believe in. I wanna thank the little girl that was up there. Her arm
must be hurting, holding that poster wherever she is, she is left but thank you for the
support. I appreciate that. As one person spoke, he said you beg to differ that our task
was easy. It is not easy and it is not a rubber stamp back here. Some of you have said
that probably from the previous commissions, but I can tell you, every one of us believe
and read all that has been submitted to us and it takes a lot of time on our part to review
your letters, your emails, and to hear your voices. There has been a lot of information
was submitted today especially from Ms. Ronna Marsh, who has shared information I
was not privileged to or acknowledged, but we do rely on our staff to give us
information, to submit the information so that we can make the decision that we have to
make and reviewing the evaluation, the recommendation and to know that our decisions
based on the reduction of the space. But that alone, as Holly has shared also, is that
we also are part of the comprehensive planning. What is our vision? I served on
Envision 2040 for six years of my life, and so I do have a stake, so to speak, on how this
city is to look like in 2040. So, I too am in disagreement and will not go forward with this
as well.
Mr. Alcaraz: Ms. Byler.
Ms. Byler: Good afternoon. Thanks for coming out and thanks for your voices, all of
you, including attorney Bourdon. So, I'm a property owner also of both commercial and
residential and I respect the rights of property owners. I teach this at the law school and
when you own property, you have certain rights that come with it, right to use it, the right
to convey it, and that's near and dear to my heart. And I've heard some pros and cons
and I don't know if I'm gonna be deciding vote here or not, but I'm concerned about that.
At any rate, I've read the application, I read the city reviews, and I've spoken with the
staff member that reviewed it in detail. I have walked the site, I've looked at the videos,
and this is a tough one, and somebody made the comment. We know how you got up
here and we know who appointed you. And I'm not exactly sure what that meant, but I
will say I spoke with the person who nominated me, the member of City Council, and I
said, before I go in there to hear this, do you have any words you wanna share with
me? And she said, do your job. I trust you that's why I nominated you. Vote your
conscience and that's what I feel I need to do. I also, like most of the other members
here have participated in Focus Groups for the new comprehensive plan. And over and
over again you hear resiliency and open space and a sense of community. These are
real issues for our city, and if I'm going to cast a vote that is going to affect the future, I
have to vote my conscience. Yes what's before us is just to modify the use permit and
to remove this portion of the land from the use permit so that it is no longer for religious
purposes. But I see what will happen next? It's like a chess game. There's one move
and there's another that follows and I'm sorry to the applicant, but I cannot support this.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, thank you. I think everyone's given their opinion and I need a
motion.
Mr. Horsley: Mr. Chairman, we've hashed over this a lot and we've heard it from many
speakers, and I think to do our job today, I'm gonna make a motion that we approve the
application to allow the property to be divided so that the church can sell it if it needs to.
Mr. Alcaraz: I have a motion by Mr. Horsley. I need a second.
Mr. Coston: Second.
Mr. Alcaraz: Second by Mr. Coston.
Madam Clerk: The vote is open. [Irrelevant conversation].
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you for coming. We're adjourned. Oh, no, I'm sorry. We have one
more, one more. Number 12.
Madam Clerk: I need to read this into the record.
Mr. Alcaraz: What's that?
Madam Clerk: I haven't read it into the record yet. By a vote of four to six, the motion
does not carry, which I believe means we need to make another one.

Ms. Wilson: We never heard Kids adventure.
Mr. Alcaraz: No, we're still on this. I need to make, do we need to make a motion to
deny?
Madam Clerk: That motion didn't carry; he made a motion to approve.
Ms. Wilson: Well, if a motion didn't carry, then it's a motion for denial.
Mr. Alcaraz: That is?
Ms. Wilson: Mm-hm.
Madam Clerk: Okay. So, by a vote of six to four, the application has been

I am writing to you to bring attention the following concerns so they can be addressed at the Planning
Meeting scheduled for August 9,2023.
Bay Environmental Inc.'s Wycliffe Subdivision Project Description contains errors.
Specifically the The Joint Permit Application has two items that need further attention.
Item#7 Historic Resources Information:
Historic properties include but are not limited to archeological sites,battlefields,Civil War earthworks,graveyards,buildings,
bridges,canals,etc.Prospective permittees should be aware that section 110k of the NHPA(16 U.S.C.470h-2(k))prevents
the USACE from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant who,with intent to avoid the requirements of Section
106 of the NHPA,has intentionally significantly adversely affected a historic property to which the permit would relate,or
having legal power to prevent it,allowed such significant adverse effect to occur,unless the USACE,after consultation with
the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation(ACHP),determines that circumstances justify granting such assistance
despite the adverse effect created or permitted by the applicant.
The proposed development site has an adjacent historical property which is acknowledged.
It incorrectly states there are not any structures on the building site over 50 years of age. The A-frame was
built in 1966.
There is also a bridge on the property that predates the A-frame and has been used for the totality of its
existence by the neighboring community.
A survey has not been completed to depict the historical structures and protect their integrity. The
proximity of the proposed development has a negative impact on the historical structure. The absence of
historic district status may be a result of not applying for it.
Item#5 Public Notification has not been completed.
With regard to the Modification of Conditions application,the position that is stated is the church has not
used its excess property for any religious purpose for decades.An outdoor stadium style seating area and
cross exist on the proposed development site.
Respectfully,
Michelle Conti

All concerned,
Building on Lake Conrad and watershed at N Great Neck Road and Millwood Road should not be permitted.
The lake is vital part of Virginia Beach's watershed. It is home to a large variety of wildlife including turtles whose
lives span decades.
Setbacks that reflect the importance of both should be in place when considering development.

To All Concerned,
One of the latest,proposed projects by a housing developer,is infringing upon Virginia Beach's beauty,nature and
ecosystem. The project I speak of is Lake Conrad and it's watershed,situated along Great Neck Road behind the
Wycliffe Presbyterian Church.
This area,currently owned by the church,is home to egrets,turtles,dragonflies and a host of other lake inhabitants
that will be killed and/or displaced if this building proposal were to move forward as is. Twelve new homes are
slated to replace our wildlife and their habitat.
Being a life,long resident and property owner in Virginia Beach for over 60 years,I am against this project moving
forward. Virginia Beach must maintain the lake's integrity,and the inhabitants such as the turtles,who have called
Lake Conrad home for over 50 years.
Less housing could be proposed,leaving the lake and some of the surrounding grounds intact,so that both could
coexist.City council is elected by the people to protect all residents and their environment,which includes our
wildlife! Please do not allow this project to be approved as proposed! Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
Gail C.Hilder

Mr. Edwards,
I wanted to share with you this map of the area being reviewed for possible 12 parcels. This
is Great Neck Estates in 1964 per USGS maps, showing Lake Conrad 2, the proposed infill
site, and part of the continuous Lake Conrad /Great Neck Lakes system. Notice the blocks
that symbolize homes. The land may have been zoned R-10 but it was NEVER subdivided
for parcels. Note next the houses across the street in the front of Great Neck Manor. Those
homes do not exist. The City eventually took that land, but I don't know why. But at the
time these neighborhoods were developed, the city agreed that this was good land use.
Never was the LAKE considered a buildable parcel. Never should it be!! I believe that the
city council should make it clear to this developer that they will not consider changing the
land use from church use to 12 home parcels!! There are no upsides to this for VB citizens.
Thanks for including this in your department's consideration when presenting to Planning
and Council.
Have a great weekend!
Windy Crutchfield, resident of Great Neck Estates and home owner on the downstream
Fairbanks Cove of Lake Conrad.

Please,listen to the citizens and your constituents,whom you represent,and do not approve filling in a pond and
building yet more houses on the beautiful Wycliffe property. I don't know why we continue to create more and
more flooding problems by filling in natural drainage areas in favor of concrete. I grew up here and while VB has
grown and grown,with no end in site,it never had the flooding problems we have now. Secondly,I really hate the
thought of disregarding the beautiful nature back there and destroying it for profit,again and again. Don't ruin
every last bit of what makes a beautiful city.Natural areas are important ecologically,visually and functionally.

Ms. Coleman,
It's my understanding Wycliffe Presbyterian Church at 1445 N Great Neck Rd,Virginia Beach,VA
23454 desires to sell four acres, which include a sensitive wetlands area and lake adjacent to their
church.The purpose of the land sale is to build 12 new homes.
Please respond and acknowledge my respectful opposition to this proposal due to the obvious
negative environmental impacts, and loss of precious green space.The International Panel on
Climate Change's evidence for Global Warming is undeniable. We must protect and increase green
space and wild areas globally in order to limit the negative impacts of Global Warming.
This lake and wetlands may not seem important, but they are crucial to larger US efforts. We must
protect the Wycliffe wetlands and lake for future generations of Virginia Beach residents.

Wetlands include narrow forested and shrub dominated zones on banks and benches
along streams;broader floodplain areas that are seasonally flooded and usually
dominated by trees;wet meadows;and seeps near the base of hills. Many small
wetlands have been created or modified by human activity(e.g.,excavation)such as farm
ponds and impoundments.

Hello- I am a long time resident of Great Neck Estates, (48 years) and
although I understand that the church is desperate for money, allowing a
developer to build homes on top of WETLANDS if not acceptable.
I strongly oppose this development project as it is going to further destroy
our open green space and the beautiful wildlife that lives in the front of our
neighborhood. Not to mention, the pollution and lower water quality that
will make its way to the Lynnhaven Rivers and eventually to the Chesapeake
Bay.
WHEN WILL CITY COUNCIL LEARN TO STOP KOWTOWING THE
GREEDY DEVELOPERS IN OUR CITY.
We will look like Detroit before you know it.

In the near future the Council will be
presented with a proposal by Wycliffe Presbyterian Church
on North Great Road to sell approximately 50 percent
of their open space property not now being used for
its intended purpose of religious activities.This
land fronts on Great Neck Road at the intersection
with Millwood Road in the Great Neck Estates
neighborhood.The developer plans a high density
build of 12 houses on the property with each lot
being 10 thousand square feet.
The church entered into the contract with the
developer without any known public announcement
or awareness by the residents of the 150 homes
in Great Neck Estates and Poplar Point which
borders the church property immediately to the
north and east or any other known residents in
the greater Great Neck corridor.
There are several problems with the
proposed development that would be of significant
interest to you considering your historical concern
for loss of open space, increased flooding potential,
damage/loss of wetlands, loss of bird,wildlife
habitat and native/natural plant material.
1.Two of the houses will be built on land created
after 2 lakes/retention ponds are filled.
2. Historical properties on the site will be
demolished.
3. Loss of scarce open space in the densely
populated Great Neck Corridor.This space
could be acquired by the city for recreational
use, particularly by the increasing number of
senior citizens who live in the area.
4.Additional vehicles added to the already dense
traffic on Great Neck Road which is increasingly
hazardous to children and adults trying to
cross this this 6 lane high speed road with very
limited cross walks and traffic lights to access
schools, churches, medical services,and shopping
centers.There have been several fatal traffic
accidents on Great Neck Road in recent years.
5. Potential for increased negative
impact on the area marshes,the Lynnhaven River
and the Chesapeake Bay.
Your consideration of this issue and denial
of the proposal is urgently requested. (There
are other options available to the church.)
Sincerely and Very Respectfully,

Greetings,
I'm writing in opposition of the development proposed by Bishard Homes on the
current Wycliffe Church property.
I live in the Great Neck Estates neighborhood at 2408 Cedar Bark Rd.
I strongly oppose the filling in of any part of the wetlands or Lake Conrad 2.
Our neighborhood is a flood free zone. We depend on the almost 4 acres of green
space filled with beautiful trees and flowing waterways for a natural flood
protection.
It works very well and does an amazing job holding the rainwater.
Today was a perfect example of how much water runoff flows into the storm
water system in place.
I have videos and pics of the water flowing over the dam from today's rainfall.
Please do not approve the Bishard plan to fill in any part in order to fit 12 homes
on the Wycliffe Church property.

Good Evening City Representatives,
My name is James T. Allen and I have lived with my family in Great Neck Estates
since 1985. We have a quiet neighborhood that many would aspire to live in;
however, that may change if the property owned by Wycliffe Church is sold for
development.
It is our understanding that the church is in the process of selling (or has sold) some
of their property, and the storm water drainage pond on that property would be filled,
in order to build houses upon this area. Homeowners in Great Neck Estates already
experience drainage issues that result in standing storm water runoff for several
days. It is present on streets and driveways, and filling in this storm water drainage
pond will create massive flooding issues for the existing neighborhood. I am sure our
community will suffer if this housing development plan moves forward.
Please give serious consideration to this issue.
Thank you for your time,
James T. Allen

Good evening,
I wanted to take a moment to voice my outrage over the proposed filling of Lake Conrad in
Great Neck to build new homes. Our wetlands should not be jeopardized for the sake of new
housing. The environmental impact and impact for potential flooding should be considered. I
oppose that the request to return this lot to housing be denied and that we protect our wetlands

The property should be preserved as it has served Virginia Beach for generations-as drainage

Please see the photos of neighborhood entry area to Laurel Cove neighborhood.
Do not approve 'fill in' of Lake Conrad (part of Great Neck Lake)! Severe rains and Flooding have
increased across our region AND across the US.Virginia Beach, and most communities are requiring
INCREASE in storm water mitigation, NOT reversing with 'fill in'for builder convenience.
Hundreds of home owners and personal property, including potential of threats to life due to rapid
flooding of our Great Neck/Laurel Cove/Lake Trant neighborhoods would be costly and life changing
by'filling in' Lake Conrad -or any other Great Neck bodies of water.
I request that these photos be presented to the Commission meeting on Wednesday. I will be in
attendance, along with others in my neighborhood.

Subject: Agenda Item 6 Wycliffe Modification of Use

Planning Commission,
I wanted to express my Concerns for information not included in the Staff Report, which I believe to be
pertinent to your decision this week on the Modification of Use application. Wycliffe's request is directly
tied to a proposal by Bishard Homes to fill in Lake Conrad 2 off of Great Neck Road. Photos of the natural
setting were omitted from this report that provide a better understanding of the concerns of residents.
The City has been doing a great job in upgrading systems and trying to mitigate flooding problems in our
city in response to the Dewberry Report and through funding from the Flood Protection Program, and I
believe that if this lake is filled in, it will cause great harm to the downstream residents,the Great Neck
community, and Virginia Beach.
I am a property owner(early 1970s) downstream from Lake Conrad 2, part of the 3 connected lakes
system known as Great Neck Lakes,formerly a finger of the Lynnhaven River that stretched all the way
to Great Neck Road. Lakefront owners are organized under The Great Neck LAKES Association, known to
the city formally as Lake Conrad 1, 2, and 3. Exhibit A is a rough sketch added for ease of understanding.
Precedent:
We are not the only interconnected lake system in Virginia Beach created by damming off fingers of the
Lynnhaven River and integral to effective stormwater drainage. I am aware of a precedent set in 1991
when the city prevented a land owner from filling in a lake, presided over by our current City Attorney
Mark D.Stiles. Pleasure House Lake was a privately-owned 4.6 acre lake getting regulatory approval to
create parcels on the lake, when the city stepped in and restored it to it's use as part of our city's
necessary stormwater drainage. It is currently undergoing repairs to it's outfall as part of Phase 1 of the
Lake Bradford/Chubb Lake improvements. I contend that this ruling should be upheld by your
decision this week to not approve residential housing on a natural wetland area.
Conditions for Issuance of CUP:
Staff informed you in their background report that the CUP was granted by the City in 1966. Important in
that statement is that the Church Use was granted because it was a benefit to the city because it
retained the stormwater drainage use that had been in place when Great Neck Estates was developed,
pre-dating Wycliffe Church's use of the property. Highlighted below from the 1950s are the drainage
easements. (Exhibit B)
In addition,the CUP was also granted at that time because it served as a benefit to the residents of
Great Neck Estates.The green space buffer off of Great Neck Road included a bridge connection
between the Great Neck Estates neighborhood streets of Millwood Road and Poplar Point Road since
the 1950s.This path also served the neighborhood residents who attended Wycliffe Church.To date,the
path has not only been been used continuously by residents to get to church, but also to visit neighbors,
walk dogs, swing little children, and to sit at the church's outdoor sanctuary to have a moment of
solitude and prayer(especially during the pandemic).The community has added a volume of
photographs to the VB Great Neck Communities Facebook page taken over the decades that we have
been welcomed by Wycliffe Church to enjoy their beautiful grounds and to come to church!To remove
the CUP now in order to fill in a lake for private homes does not in fact comply with the principles
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and removes a public enjoyment and need.(Exhibit C)
City Investments:
Our city has invested heavily in this property over seven decades of growth and to consider any plan that
would destroy this storm water management facility(SWMF)would be to turn our tax payer
investments over to a private land-owner. Besides expanding the drainage pipes to Lake Conrad 2, the
city has removed trees, dredged the center of the wetpond, conducted water quality studies and
prepared for the installation of a federally-funded hydrodynamic separator to improve these MS4
Receiving Waters.This is a well-working SWMF which includes 140 mature trees and almost 3 acres of
soil and 1 acre of a lake, and despite that still needs the addition of a filtration system.We need to stay
focused on improving the city's stormwater systems rather than removing effective retention systems.
The Modifications should be denied if they will result in destruction of a SWMF asset.
Staff Recommendations:
I ask for some assurance that the Previous Conditions outlined in the Staff Report will run with the land.
Staff recommends the Utilization of Best Management Practices for controlling stormwater runoff which
are reasonably applicable to the development of the site (1988 MDC).The city made commitments to
residents of Virginia Beach in the Flood Referendum of 2021 that they would not approve plans that
added to the demand of our stormwater drainage system.This plan would directly impact the volume of
water flowing into Fairbanks Cove. Currently Lake Conrad 2 and it's surrounding three (3)acres is the
BMP for Great Neck Estates and the BMP for the Great Neck community as a whole.The destruction of
an existing SWMF is in direct contradiction with city objectives. If you approve this Modification, I ask
that you incude a proffer that the SWMF is excluded as buildable lots.
Staff also recommends a 25' dedication for the widening Great Neck Road be retained (1966 CUP). If you
note this map from 1964,five parcels, owned by the City of Virginia Beach, zoned R-10, exist as a buffer
between Great Neck Road and Great Neck Manor, directly across the street from this site.The Staff
Report identified these as "undeveloped lots" but the City Zoning office and real estate office confirmed
that they are not buildable lots. If you approve this Modification, I ask that you include a proffer that
this buffer will be enforced. (Exhibit D)
Staff further recommends that land disturbance be kept to a minimum (2000 MDC).There are currently
140 adult trees and the replacement ratio per the city standards is 3:1.The Great Neck communities will
not benefit by these trees being replaced outside of this area. Reforestation should be required in the
same area of disturbance. I ask that you include a proffer that fulfills this standard if the Modifications
are accepted.
Lack of a government survey:
The Contract Purchaser is obtaining permits based on the lake being less than one acre, using their
survey(submitted with this application).Since the "less than one acre of impacts" is a critically important
criteria in this plan to fill in Lake Conrad 2, the city should have an independent survey done to measure
the lake perimeter.The existing dam was constructed utilizing the last recorded city survey done in
1899.At a minimum,you should defer a decision on this Modification until a government issued
survey is done on the land.
In Summary:
Staff recommended approval of this application on the grounds that it, on it's face,will not have
negative affects on the surrounding community. However, it is currently under contract for purchase by
a developer who will remove a city SWMF. We have grave concerns about flooding downstream and on
Great Neck Road. In addition,the housing development will remove an asset that has been used
continuously by the public for seven decades. Finally,the precedent was established in 1991 when the
city prohibited the development of parcels on Pleasure House Lake and bought the land that is currently
part of the Flood Protection Program improvements. Developing a new subdivision abutting Great Neck
Road, destroying a SWMF, eliminating a natural area that connects two streets in Great Neck Estates,
and removing a public asset that has been enhanced by city, state, and federal funding just to serve the
interests of a developer is not in our best interests. You should oppose the Modification of Use if it is
attached to any plan that undermines the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, as this
one does.
I appreciate your time in understanding the full implications of your recommendations to City Council
this week.
Thank you respectfully,
Windy Crutchfield, Great Neck Lakes home owner

As a 25 year member of the original Wycliffe congregation,the philosophy of the Presbyterian
church doctrine compels me to speak up. We are called on to be active regarding social and
moral issues including environmental concerns.
As a Virginia Beach resident you only have to look around to realize the biggest threat we face
is the one our sister city Norfolk is drowning in,water. It is constantly in the news and our
leaders promote ways of dealing with flooding and standing water. Our city actively promotes
retention ponds as a formidable tool to combat stormwater runoff. As a city we have spent
countless dollars to stay above water. Building infrastructures that include drainage are a
large part of our public works budget.
Having a natural watershed is a priceless blessing. Our watershed was even dredged to
maintain its integrity. The idea that we would fill in a longstanding natural watershed
easement in order to build 12 more houses defies logic. In addition to filling in a lake,the
removal of 140 mature trees will only exasperate the issue even further. The cost and
effectiveness of pumping solutions increases the drainage and financial liability problems for
our city.
This decision should not be driven by the monetary income it creates for the businesses
engaged in the transaction. The church has received over 60 years of tax relief and now is
requesting a modification of use and boundary change to profit at the detriment of the
neighbors and wildlife that call this area home and have for decades. The lake was here first
and should be the priority in any encroaching development. The developer who has published
plans to fill the watershed has a track record of over promising and under delivering on their
prior projects and is viewed as a negative impact on completed projects in Virginia Beach.
While the project may look possible on the paper plans,just because it could be built doesn't
mean it should be built. There appear to be errors in the JPA including use of an outdoor
sanctuary,age of the building and bridge being greater than 50 years, and the submitted size of
the impacted area. These items should be more closely examined for accuracy as it pertains
to environmental regulations.
I would suggest the city of Virginia Beach's large public works budget include regular
maintenance of this watershed. The church could donate or sell the wetland portion of the
property to its financial benefit and realize a goal while relieving itself of any ongoing burdens
it may bear. It would set an example of responsible ownership and goodwill to its neighbors.
After all, isn't that what it's all about?
In closing,the city of Virginia Beach and Wycliffe Presbyterian church should practice what
they preach. We cannot say one thing while doing another. We are all connected in the
outcome of this application, let us make the common sense decision.

Hi!
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out as a citizen of Virginia Beach to express
my concern about hearing the news that there are plans to fill in Lake Conrad and that this
may be made possible if the permit stating what the land can be used for is changed to
residential.
I am in my twenties,having grown up in VB most of my life, and I can see myself living here
for many more years. Already I have seen a lot of changes in Virginia Beach and I support the
development of our society,which I know includes homes. However, filling in a lake to create
room for more housing is far from ideal and should be avoided at all costs. This lake serves as
a valuable reservoir and drainage area,and provides a home to countless wildlife, including
turtles, frogs, herons,ducks, foxes,raccoons,migratory birds,butterflies, and bats.An
important part of keeping Virginia Beach a healthy and thriving place is caring for what's left
of our natural landscape.
Please don't sacrifice this lake for the sake of developers making more money to line their
pockets.
Thank you for your consideration. Have a wonderful day.
Kind regards,

Hello,Why is the city allowing anything to be built on our wetlands.Filling in out wetlands =flooding.It's not
rocket science.It's much cheaper to lose tax revenue from any new properties built on wetlands than deal with a
major flooding issues.We don't want to become the next Houston with hurricane Harvey.But we will if you don't

To the City planning Commission and City Council
I write this email, to you all understand what negative effect it will have on
our neighborhood on the decision for the builder to purchase land from
Wycliffe Presbyterian Church to build 12 luxury homes on wet land!
Why?
My husband and I moved into the Great Neck Estates in October 2014.
We absolutely love our home and the neighborhood. We had looked at
new homes being built further south, Ashley Park developments... Boy are
we glad we didn't buy there! Flooding issues by the same builder who is
considering trying to build again on 'WET LAND!" Why? Who had to help
pay that issue??? Us taxpayers....
The Wycliffe Presbyterian Church no longer needs to sell the land... They
received a hefty endowment!
There are plenty of existing homes to buy, sell, or remodel......TheGreat
Neck neighborhood, (or any neighborhood), does NOT NEED new
development of homes.
I ask you ALL to please hear our plea, Vote NO to this concept of filling in
a lake of wetlands, just for a builder to make money. Prevent a future
headache and :"oops" in the future.
Thank you for your time and understanding, I run a non-profit
organization from my home, it's a ministry of healing, and we, along with
our neighbors, pray that you hear us... DO NOT approve of this selling of
land in Great Neck Estates.

Planning Commission,
I wanted to express my opposition to the potential decision to fill in Lake Conrad off
Great Neck Road, which is part of Great Neck Lakes, in connection with the sale by
Wycliffe Church and allow the area to be developed.
The City has been doing a great job in upgrading systems and trying to mitigate
flooding problems in our City in response to the Dewberry Report and through funding
from the Flood Protection Program, and I believe that if this lake is filled in, it will
cause great harm to the downstream residents, the Great Neck community, and
Virginia Beach.
Additionally, Lake Conrad contains abundant wildlife, more than 140 mature trees, 3
acres of rolling hills and a 1-acre lake that is designated as part of Virginia Beach's
stormwater retention and drainage system.
Approving this project would not only set a dangerous precedent, but also create
more stormwater problems for the City of Virginia Beach. Our city has made
extensive investments in this property for more than seven decades, and any plan to
fill in this storm water management facility would turn our tax payer investments over
to a private land owner.
In its 2021 Flood Referendum, the city committed to the residents that it would not
approve any plans that added to the demand of our stormwater drainage system.
Destroying an existing SWMF would be in direct contradiction with city objectives.
Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing to share my experience of living in our neighborhood since 1998 and the
current consideration of reducing the capacity of the city's stormwater management
facilities regarding a proposal to rezone an area designated for Church use and allow
a developer to build in the area.
As I assume you are aware the Lake Conrad system of lakes were developed during
WWII using POW labor to build dams for the farmers in the Hog Neck area of what is
now known as Great Neck. The dams built held naturally flowing streams to create
ponds / lakes to allow for watering of livestock. We still have barbed wire between
some of the trees in our yard. The ponds / lakes were not built or designed to be part
of a stormwater management facility.
When we purchased our home in 1998 from the original owners they shared many
photographs and the history of the area, one of them was an amateur historian for the
city. As we walked the property they pointed out sinking areas around the dam on the
property. The dam has continued to erode and the emergency spillway has
continued to crack and fall into the larger lake.
When we moved in Lake Conrad 1 was consistently 6 feet deep across the entire
area
7 August 2023
Planning commission statement:
Neil E Rondorf. 2420 Pineland Lane. Captain, USN, (RET).
Citizen of VB scene 1999. 1 have several comments to make
with respect to the environmental considerations of the
Wycliffe Development which is background for this discus-
sion. I do have some qualifications to speak on this subject.
For two years I was president of the Great Neck Lake Asso-
ciation which represents 100 home owners of the shore of
the lake and the waters adjacent to the Wycliffe property.
During my tenure we began a sampling program in coopera-
tion with the Lynnhaven Now and created an opportunity to
clean the lake by Hydro- racking the coves and areas near
shore. I studied oceanography at the Naval Academy and
spent 27 years as a Nuclear Submariner with a constant fo-
cus on environmental discharges. After retirement I was
chairman of the International Cable Protection Committee
which represented 97 % of the submarine telecom and pow-
er cable mileage around the world and dealt with mainte-
nance, installation and environmental rulings world wide. In
addition, I was founding member of the International Elec-
trotechnical Commission - Committee 114 which deals with
the rules for developing all off shore renewable energy tech-
nology and environmental elements of this industry. I was
also a founding member of the Virginia Coastal Energy Re-
search Consortium which began economic and environmen-
tal work for off shore wind energy in Virginia.
1 . Since the water sampling program began almost 6 years
ago, the Great Neck Lake has improved in stability and
test result to the point that Lynnhaven Now reduced the
sampling from 6 points to 3. This is due to the positive re-
■ - . _;.. x .� - -- - - - -- .,. m.,. ■
sponse of the citizens and them paying attention to runoff
and waste.
2. Over the years the lake has had algae blooms to the point
that the algae growth clogged the spillway to the
Lynnhaven and during a major storm threatened flooding
of the homes on the shore. The Hydro-raking cost the
home owners thousands of dollars but removed tons of
debris and silt which fostered the growth. In addition we
have a treatment program done in the early spring to con-
trol the algae to a great extent. None of this is financed by
the city.
3. The development concept being discussed includes a
concept to fill in wetland areas to provide additional area
for development. The Lake Association cannot more
strongly oppose such an action. These wetland areas
provide a buffer for for filtration and sedimentation settling
that protects the health of the lake. We realize there is a
concept to "equitable acreage" to be maintained in Vir-
ginia Beach. Providing an equivalent wetland in Pungo
does nothing to protect Great Neck Lake. The precedent
of allowing wetland fill to provide acreage for development
is a serious threat to the overall wetland ecosystem of the
coastal area encompassed by Virginia Beach.
Thank you for your consideration

Members of the Virginia Beach City Council and Planning Commission,
I am writing to voice my opposition to the application requesting a modification of conditions
to fill in parts of Lake Conrad to create parcels by Wycliffe Church. My name is Jenny Snyder
and I am homeowner along Shore Drive who frequents the Great Neck Corridor. The lake
provides a natural solution for storm water collection,a growing concern in the area. By filling
the lake in,you are decreasing the capacity of the overall lake to manage the natural flow of
water,forcing the water to go elsewhere.
The City just spent$11 million to restore stormwater issues. In this case,you have the
opportunity to prevent similar issues from occurring. We all know that an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.Let's show the citizens that we have learned from previous mistakes
and are holding our developers to higher standards for our beautiful city.
I understand the church has a right to sell their land however I ask that you help secure a more
appropriate plan for the area through a reduction in the number of structures in such a manner
that retains the lake.
I will be paying close attention to how you all vote, as I did for the Westminster Canterbury
tower and the zoning change request Marlin Bay Apartments in Ocean Park. I am an active
voter in our local elections and meaningful,environmentally-focused decisions,particularly
related to our waterways, are a top priority for me.
Thank you.

Have any of you been to this property to see what is going to be destroyed? This is a wetland
habitat! It is a beautiful area that I have enjoyed for over 39 years. I grew up on Cedar Bark Road
where my parents still reside. The thought of all the animal life that will be destroyed to add new
homes over top of this lake is unfathomable. Turtles, birds, otters,snakes, raccoons,opossums,
squirrels, etc. will no longer have their homes or ecosystems. How is this even legal?
Please do not allow this to happen to our beautiful community. The problems that this will cause
should give pause for thought. Flooding will be huge, homes settling that are built over top of the
lakes will be detrimental to the building structures, and all the wildlife that will be destroyed.
Thank you for your time and please do not allow this to go forth. It will be a huge mistake! Please
consider stopping by Red Bridge to admire the beauty they want to destroy. It would only take 5
minutes to see what we all have fallen in love with at this beautiful, legendary area!

We are very concerned that the City of Virginia Beach is putting
developers' profits over the needs of the citizens and taxpayers of
the city. As you know, the beautiful green space of Lake Conrad 2 is
potentially slated to be destroyed and replaced with homes on the
infill. This area is part of Great Neck Lakes and part of the city's own
Storm Water Management Facilities.
Simultaneously, the city is frantically expanding water retention
areas in other parts of the city. Evidently, city management is very
aware of the problem of street/property flooding.
All citizens, including people working in city management, use these
roads that are flooding in ordinary rain events, to say nothing of what
will happen in the next hurricane. Yet new lawn, concrete, and
asphalt are allowed to proliferate. These surfaces absorb little to
nothing, and the rain collects in the streets. (Derelict currently-
developed property could be creatively redeveloped and green
spaces left green.) Please consider the seriousness of this situation
and the need to put common sense above profit. Preserving the
beautiful asset of Lake Conrad 2 is not only desirable, it is a
necessity.

Backaround
As I assume you are aware the Lake Conrad system of lakes were developed during
WWII using POW labor to build dams for the farmers in the Hog Neck area of what is
now known as Great Neck. The dams built held naturally flowing streams to create
ponds / lakes to allow for watering of livestock. We still have barbed wire between
some of the trees in our yard. The ponds / lakes were not built or designed to be part

When we purchased our home in 1998 from the original owners they shared many
photographs and the history of the area, one of the owners was an amateur historian
for the city. As we walked the property they pointed out sinking areas around the
dam on the property. The dam has continued to erode and the emergency spillway
has continued to crack and fall into the larger lake.
When we moved in Lake Conrad 1 was consistently 6 feet deep across the entire
area; now however it is frequently ankle deep except for the center where it appears
to be 4 feet in depth. While the discharge into the lake has increased, the capacity to
hold that water has decreased.
My understanding after reviewing the city code and policies regarding storm water
management is that the facility should be designed to handle a 100 year storm. The
diagram the city provided to the property owners shows what should be in place to
handle the water, the intake as depicted that would divert high water through a pipe
into the larger lake has never existed. The "emergency spillway" is the only route
there is for the high water. The max rate of flow over the spillway is extreme on a
regular basis and a potential liability. Lastly, according the the state of Virginia dams
shall be designed and constructed to hold back a 100 year storm. If water flows over
the top of a dam that is essentially and emergency and dangerous situation. The
water flows over the dam at least 6 times a year, I submitted an emergency call a
couple years ago to have it documented. Nothing has been done and there
apparently are no plans to do anything.
The owners on Lake Conrad 1 each received a written warning to remove vegetation
with in 10 feet of the water edge or be fined $32,500 per day. Once the state DEQ
got copies of the letters they contacted the city to inform them that the city does not
have jurisdiction.
Current Concerns
Reading the 2040 Comprehensive Plan there is welcome discussion and efforts to
increase the Urban Forest. Removing acres of trees and disrupting wildlife does not
support that plan.
In addition to the significant and increasing sedimentation with the current 3 lakes,
removing a critical link in the systems will only add to concentrating sedimentation
into Bradford Cove, reduce the ability of the facilities to remove phosphorus, and add
pressure on an already maxed out system.
Over the past 10 years the amount of algae and aquatic weeds has increased
exponentially. If not for the efforts of the property owners all of Lake Conrad 1 would
be covered in several feet of weeds. We remove by hand 10s of tons for proper
disposal. The same growths are occurring in the coves of the larger lake and will
increase if Lake Conrad 3 is filled in. Many of the residents are elderly, I am a 30
disabled veteran on a fixed income and I will not be able to continue the work as it
gets worse.
Final Thoughts
If you have read this in its entirety I thank you.
If have refrained from any negative comments of any individuals involved and speak
only for myself based on living here for decades.
The capacity of the Lake Conrad system has decreased and allowing for additional
construction WILL make it worse.
The water quality of the Lake Conrad system is degraded and allowing for additional
construction WILL make it worse.
There are significant regulatory and policy issues that have been ignored at many
levels that may place the city at risk if they are not addressed or if made to be worse.
I respectfully ask that you do not approve a rezoning request and do not allow the
lake to be filled in now or ever.

Hello,
We live in Great Neck Estates and do not agree with a developer filling in Lake Conrad in
order to build 12 houses. We are concerned that flooding will become a problem for Great
Neck Road and our neighborhood.

Please share my following concerns at the August 9th meeting.
Good afternoon,
I'm vehemently opposed to the City of VB changing the designation to part of Wycliffe Church's property in Great
Neck Estates from religious/church use to residential use. All so that they can sell land to a developer,who plans on
filling in part of Lake Conrad(that is a wetlands lake)to build 12 houses!!
This makes absolutely no sense to anyone who cares about all the potential problems such as water flooding and/or
future drainage issues.
Who in their right mind builds on a filled in lake. Or wants to buy a house on such property?
To say nothing of the ecological impact. There are plenty of aquatic animals,trees,and flora that will be displaced
at best or totally destroyed at worst!
Please vote down this proposal! Show that the city of VB cares more about its residents and the impact on nature,
than it does about the city's desire to collect tax dollars and the developers's desire for the almighty dollar!!!
Sincerely,
Judy Johnson

To Whom It May Concern,
Good afternoon. I am writing you to voice my opposition to the Wycliffe Development
proposition. My wife and I have lived in Great Neck Estates for 30 years and raised two children
here, who are now 26 and 29 years old. The idea of filling in a lake and wetlands to satiate the greed
of a developer is astounding.The lake at Red Bridge handles to rainwater and storm runoff for Great
Neck Estates, Great Neck Manor, and the Reserve as well as the commercial entities on both sides of
Great Neck Road,from Mill Dam Road to Shorehaven Road(Cox High School). From a taxpayer point
of view, we need not look any further than Asheville Park on Princess Anne Road to see what the
cost of fixing irresponsible development is....$11 million dollars to the taxpayer and how much for
developer(that's a rhetorical question.)
Please exercise responsible judgement and not allow this destruction of a natural wetlands
stormwater prevention system that has been in place for longer than most of us have been alive. To
allow this development to go through would be a crime against nature for the sake of a dollar. We
are praying that you see the development plan for what it is. Do Not Destroy Wetlands For
Development Sake.......please help us maintain the quality of life in Virginia Beach.
Respectfully,
James M Curran

Planning Commission,
I am writing in regard to the Wycliffe modification of use application. I am a homeowner in the Great
Neck Estates community.
Please do not change the conditional use permit on the property to convert it back to residential housing.
This application is tied to a proposal by a developer. The developer plans to fill in wetlands and build
homes on top of it. There is a lot of wildlife in this space. It helps with storm water run-off. This space
must be preserved. It could be turned into a beautiful park.
Thank you respectfully,
Daniel Edsall,Great Neck Estates home owner
