BUSINESS LICENSES/LEGISLATIVE

ELDERLY REAL ESTATE TAX
EXF14PTION ITEM # 26268
Councilwoman Henley and Councilman Baum referenced citizen concerns relative
the Elderly Real Estate Tax Exemption, perhaps raising it to the State
allowable amount. Giles Dodd, Assistant City Manager for Administration
advised same was amended in 1983 and the ANNUAL INCOME was raised from $13,000
to $15,000 with the NET WORTH from $35,000 to $40,000. The State allows a

make recommendations concerning same.
UNKNOWN STREETS ITEM # 26269

Councilwoman McClanan and Councilman Fentress referenced the proposed
RESOLUTION concerning VIRGINIA ELECTRIC and POWER COMPANY to be drafted to the
STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION.
Councilman Fentress advised of a meeting he attended with VEPCO and the
INNKEEPERS ASSOCIATION. It was the assumption upon completion of the meeting
that a RESOLUTION would not be necessary; therefore, same was not included on
City Council's Agenda.
SANDBRIDGE ITEM # 26271
Councilwoman Henley referenced an item mentioned by Vice Mayor Oberndorf on
October 20, 1986, relative a letter from Dr. E. Spencer Wise of the North Beach
Civic League in opposition to a decision by the VIRGINIA MARINE RESOURCES
COMMISSION. Rather than having the City Council ADOPT a Resolution, it would
be preferable to have Jack Whitney, Chief of Comprehensive Planning, attend a
Meeting on Monday, November 11 , 1986 in Richmond concerning House Resolution
46, the Coastal Shoreline Erosion Study, to speak relative the City's concerns
for DUNE protection. The City Staff will notify Senator Joseph V. Gartlan,
Jr., that the City Council of Virginia Beach fully supports the

traffic counts, if all the property in the immediate area was developed.
MOSQUITO CONTROL COMMISSION ITEM # 26274
Councilwoman Parker requested advice as to MOSQUITO CONTROL COMMISSION relative
appointments and consolidation.

CITY MANAGER'S INFORMAL BRIEFING
LIBERY NISSAN USE PERMIT
November 3, 1986
ITEM # 26275
Mr. Robert Scott, Director of Planning, referenced a unique problem arising
from the Conditional Use Permit granted LIBERTY NISSAN on August 11, 1986.
Ordinance upon application of J. BROCK
NELSON/LIBERTY NISSAN, LTD. for a CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT for new and used automobile sales and
services on the east and southest corners of Bonney
Road and Butternut Lane in the Lynnhaven
Borough.
Mr. Scott advised of a discrepancy existing among a number of plats, the first
being recorded in 1902 for the Rosemont Corporation followed by another plat
of an area known as Jacksondale and those two plats conflict. Neither of these
two plats concur with the City's Base Maps, particularly concerning an area
from Chestnut Street down to South Boulevard and basically over to Rosemont
Road. There is no question that Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25 were rezoned by the
City Council to Industrial Zoning. The question arises as to the location of
these lots and depending upon whose records you are investigating, they are
about 93 feet from the Bonney Road right-of-way or about 200 feet from the
Bonney Road right-of-way.
The LIBERTY NISSAN CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT is an accurate description of the
property, if you adhere to the Jacksondale or the Rosemont Corporation plat,
but a discrepancy exists if the City map is followed. The property owner might
be penalized as part of the property the applicant claims to own was rezoned
upon request of another property owner. This problem will be rectified
administratively; however, City Council should be aware of same.

CITY MANGER'S INFORMAL BRIEFING
AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE REGARDING TRAFFIC SCHOOL
November 3, 1986
ITEM # 26277
J. A. Daniel Smith, Clerk of General District Court, advised a free traffic
school has been sponsored for the past fifteen (15) years by the Court.
Section 21-11 (Traffic School for Violators) of the City Code substantiates
said School.
However, the Court now finds itself in competition with the Division of Motor
Vehicles that operates nine (9) schools in this area and charges $30 to $35
tuition. Upon graduation, the individual receives 5-Plus points on their
driving record. The Court's school is free and also awards 5-Plus points upon
graduation. These clases have dropped steadily. Approximately $2,000 a year
is required to support said school.
J. A. Daniel Smith requested the Code be AMENDED to reflect the school be
conducted by the Division of Motor Vehicles rather than the General District
Court.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE SPECIAL STUDY COMMITTEE
ESTABLISHED UNDER SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 47
TO NOT CHANGE THE SUBDIVISION LAW
TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH,
WELFARE AND SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS
OF THE COMMONWEALTH
WHEREAS, the Virginia General Assembly in its 1986
Session adopted Senate Joint Resolution 47 which was to study the
use of private, professional engineers for the inspection of
partial or final completion of certain subdivision facilities;
and
WHEREAS, since the Study Committee has met, it has
expanded its study to include all aspects of the development
process from preliminary subdivision submittal through plan
review and inspection of infrastructure improvements as well as
the individual dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, there does seem to be inordinate delays in
some jurisdictions of the Commonwealth in plan review and
infrastructure facilities inspections; and
WHEREAS, localities may now use either private
engineering firms or local employees for plan review and
inspections; and
WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach reviews the vast
majority of its preliminary subdivisions within 60 days and
provides construction inspections within a timely manner, usually
within 24 hours, and;
WHEREAS, requiring localities to use private
engineering firms for plan review and inspections raises
questions of: 1) independence of a private inspection system from
the developer whose project is inspected; 2) increased costs to
the public and the consumer; and, 3) the loss of control by local
goverriments over an area that is directly related to the health,
welfare and safety of its citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH:
That the Special Subcomittee established under Senate
Joint Resolution 47 examine very carefully the impacts of
November 3, 1986
- 24b -
changing the subdivision law as it now exists, and that
localities should not be required to use private engineering
firms for plan review or inspection; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That the General Assembly of Virginia when it meets for
its 1987 Session consider these same facts.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on
the 3rd day of November 1986.
