What is the Green Line?
Recognizing the importance of preserving Virginia Beach's rural area, in 1979 the
City introduced the"Green Line"urban growth management tool and established
planning policies to channel growth and infrastructure improvements to the northern
half of the city. The Green Line runs mainly along Princess Anne Road.
Land Use South of the Green Line
July 2,
• The Green Line has not changed since it was first established in the 1985
Comprehensive Plan.
• Below the Green Line,the Blue Line is located along Indian River Road and
identifies the area where public utilities ends.
• Princess Anne Commons and the Transition Area are located between the Green
Line and Blue Line:
• The Interfacility Traffic Area(ITA)is a zoning overlay district within Princess Anne
Commons.
• Examples of development below the Green Line are the Municipal Center,
Innovation Park(Li ht Industrial)and several Residential Communities(Heritage
Park,Sherwood Lakes, Courthouse Estates).

• "It is the policy not to spend city funds for adequate public facilities South of the
Green Line except to support the needs of the rural population or to support
development that would expand the tax base or amenity base,and not to encourage
growth that would rely on such facilities"(pg.43).

Real Estate Services ("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 341h Street Suite 102,
Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Because of the nature of realtor and real estate agent affiliation, the size of
Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year,Howard Hanna has an interest
in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal
knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act (the `Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for
each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual
orpotential conflict. If, during her review of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council,she identifies

interest. In order to ensure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government
Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is Council Member Remick's practice to thoroughly review the

PRESENTATION
250`'ANNIVERSARY OF PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY RESOL VES
Mayor Dyer welcomed Alpheus Chewning and Mark Reed — Virginia Beach VA250 Committee, Carol
Chewning,Jon Stull, Gerald Hartis and Charles Wesier- Great Bridge Battlefield& Waterways Museum,
Barbara Smith -Lynnhaven Parish Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)/7th Virginia Regiment
of the Continental Line, Florence Reese—DAR, Suzanne Camden -Princess Anne County Chapter DAR,
Susan Flye- Virginia Beach History Museums and Jerry Hedrick-Defiant Pirate Crew.
Mr. Reed expressed his appreciation to City Council for their continued support and read the following:
"Mayor Dyer, Vice Mayor Wilson, Members of City Council. Thank you for allowing the
Virginia Beach VA 250 Committee time on your agenda this evening. I am Mark Reed and I
have the pleasure of serving as the staff liaison to the Committee, which Council established
one year ago to assist the City in its commemorations of the 250th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. The Committee is fortunate to have Council Member Ross-
Hammond and Council Member Remick as its liaisons.
As we approach the 248th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we would like to
tell you, and the citizens of Virginia Beach, about events from 250 years ago that helped to
lead the American colonies on the path toward independence. In December 1773 in
Massachusetts, Bostonian's had held a Tea Party that did not endear them to the British
Parliament. As a result, Britain closed the Port of Boston, causing economic hardships and
creating social and political upheaval.
Here in Virginia, the House of Burgesses, the representative body of the citizens, recognized
that Britain could just as easily do to Virginia what they had done to Massachusetts. They
drafted a resolution in response to these events and it was published in the Williamsburg
newspaper. Upon reading the resolution, Virginia's Colonial Governor, Lord Dunmore,
immediately dissolved the House of Burgesses on May 26, 1774.
Most of the former burgesses met the following day and agreed to reconvene in Williamsburg
on August 1st to meet as a legislative body. In July 1774 the Freeholders of Princess Anne
County met and prepared a series of Resolves to present to their Burgesses to take to this
meeting in Williamsburg. Anthony Lawson, Esquire, who moderated the meeting here 250
years ago, is on hand to present these resolutions to you this evening.I believe you have a copy
of the original text in front of you. In consideration of the changes that have occurred with
linguistics,Mr.Lawson will provide an edited version for us listening here in the 21 st century."
Mr. Reed distributed copies of the Princess Anne County (Virginia)Resolutions which were ready by Mr.
Chewing acting as Anthony Lawson, attached hereto and made a part of the record.
i
Mayor Dyer expressed his appreciation for the presentation.

Meeting of the Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the County of Princess Anne,v1:640-1
PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY (VIRGINIA) RESOLUTIONS.
At a Meeting of the Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the County of Princess Anne, on due notice
given by one of the late Representatives, held at the Court House of the said county,
on Wednesday, the 27th day of July, 1774, they, after choosing
ANTHONY LAWSON, Esquire, Moderator,
Came to the following Resolutions, viz:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that it is an absolute right inherent in every British
American subject, to have and enjoy such freedoms and privileges as belong to the free people
of England; and that he cannot be taxed but by his own consent, or Representative.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that every attempt to impose taxes by any other
authority, is a tyrannical exertion of power, and a violation of the constitutional and just rights and
liberties of the subject; and that the Acts for blocking up the harbour of Boston; for altering the
chartered Constitution of the Massachusetts Bay; and for the suppression of riots and tumults, are
cruel and oppressive invasions of the natural rights of the people of the said Province, as men, and
of their constitutional rights as English subjects.
Resolved, That the town of Boston and Province of Massachusetts Bay, are now suffering in the
common cause of America, as the said Acts would lay a foundation for the utter destruction of the
rights and liberties of the subjects of British America.
Resolved, That our Burgesses be hereby instructed to use their utmost endeavours at the ensuing
Congress at Williamsburg, to procure a general Association for stopping all importation from, and
exportation to, Great Britain, except such articles as shall be there agreed upon, as the most
effectual means to obtain redress; the non-importation and non-exportation to take place on such
future day as may be agreed on by the general Congress of Deputies from the several Colonies.
Resolved, That our Burgesses be instructed to vote against every motion or proposal for clogging
the usual imports from, and exports to, the West Indies.
Resolved, That our Burgesses be instructed to oppose the importation of slaves and convicts, as
injurious to this Colony, by preventing the population of it by freemen and useful manufacturers.
Resolved, That it be recommended to our Burgesses to vote for the encouragement of raising
sheep, hemp, flax, and cotton.
Resolved, That our Burgesses be hereby instructed to endeavour to procure a general Association
against trading and dealing with every Colony, Province, County, or Town, that shall refuse to come
into the general plan which may be adopted by the several Colonies and Provinces on the Continent.
Resolved, That our Burgesses be hereby instructed to use their utmost endeavours that
subscriptions be opened in the several counties of this Colony, for the relief of the cruelly oppressed
and distressed inhabitants of the town of Boston.
Resolved, That our Burgesses do meet the first day of August, in Williamsburg, to consult upon the
most proper means for carrying these or any other Resolves which may be judged more expedient,
into execution.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the general plan adopted at the ensuing
Congress, ought to be strictly adhered to by the whole Colony; and that this meeting will faithfully
adopt such measures as may be then agreed upon.
Resolved, That the above Resolutions be printed, for the perusal of the freeholders and inhabitants
of this County.
THOMAS ABBOTT, Clerk.
