Pitt -Lippe Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application of East West Partners of Virginia, Inc., applicant, and Eagle Harbor, LLC and EH2, LLC, Owners, for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Change the Future Recommended Land Use of 80.29 Acres Located on Carrollton Boulevard (Rte. 17) and Channell Way (Rte. 662) from Suburban Estate and Suburban Residential to Mixed Use. Branch Lawson commented that the daily traffic flow on Route 17 nearly equals the population of the County and there are many motorists driving through that area to other places that are not paying taxes in the County. In reference to the concern expressed by the former Chief of Emergency Services that the proposed age restricted community would create an enhanced burden on the EMS Department, the proposed is an active adult community and not a retirement village. Further, in reference to the weakness which lead to a recommendation for denial that a large portion of the proposed development is not consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan, the Plan amendment reads that the proposed land use plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan description and because of its incomplete status it may not be advisable to consider any changes prior to the completion of that process. He concluded questioning what his course of action would be in the future if the Comprehensive Plan amendment resulted in a designation that is not in sync with what he was attempting to do. Chairman McCarty opened the public hearing and called for persons to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed application. Albert Burckard of Titus Point Lane in Carrollton, on behalf of the Carrollton Civic League, advised that when a program Iwas conducted by East West Partners on this development, the general feeling of the League was that this development was good for the community as it was, age restricted and would have virtually no impact to schools, the surrounding historic farm property and the cemetery. Dr. Richard Byrd submitted a petition in opposition to the proposed application noting that the growth threatens the identity of the surrounding community. He stated that while he is not opposed to growth in the community, it does need to be smart growth. He remarked that there are currently two developments approved adjacent to this property which will result in the elimination of trees and loss of the existing rural feeling. He stated safe habitats enjoyed by wildlife will be lost and these species will become vulnerable and misplaced. He concluded that he feels this process is being rushed and will allow for growth without sustainable design. Jessica Swartz of the Carrisbrooke Subdivision stated the standard being set by approving this application is the alienation of young people who want to move into this community and will feel there is nothing productive going on there. She further expressed a concern with increased traffic. R Josh Phillips of the Carrisbrooke Subdivision spoke in opposition to the proposed development citing safety for his children resulting from increased traffic. Patty Cocker of the Carrisbrooke Subdivision expressed concern with the destruction of that community's current peaceful way of life when Whippingham Parkway becomes a major thoroughfare, escalating existing issues with speed on a roadway made of crush and run. Reid Lundie of the Carisbrooke Subdivision voiced concern with increased traffic and stated that the characteristic of this once quiet neighborhood will be changed for the worse because of a desire for more revenue. He remarked that there are two developments approved for this area and traffic on the James River Bridge is already heavy. Cathy Morrow of the Newport District stated that the County does not have a hospital and she does not want to live in a retirement community. She asked for quality first, not quantity. Dixon Morrow of the Newport District cited concern with increased vehicular traffic and understaffed emergency personnel. He added that more housing units and commercial traffic will only destroy the existing peaceful community. Aaron Millikin, East West Partners and a resident of the Newport District, spoke in favor of the application citing benefits of some of the age restrictions to the County. He noted that the County will need communities like the one proposed in the future. Dean Vincent of Gatling Pointe Subdivision commented that no more points of access are being added that do not exist today and improvements to Channell Way are being proposed. Todd Craddy of Rescue stated that growth is killing the beauty of the County and he urged the Board to deny the application. William Riddick, attorney, commented that the Comprehensive Plan was an award-winning Plan. He stated that East West Partners has a great track record as a developer and the land is currently zoned for a development that would be much more burdensome on the community. He stated proffers, the many offered improvements, and 55 and older will generate a tremendous amount of tax revenue without accompanying cost. James Hardin of the Carrisbrooke Subdivision remarked that the proposed development would cause motorists to take short cuts and all the trees and farms will be lost. David Diggs from Newport News stated additional lanes on both sides coming off the James River Bridge might help with the current traffic congestion. He added that he wants to preserve the farmland that currently exists. He concluded saying that congestion delays emergency personnel during incidents. A Rick Gillerlain remarked there is a difference between growth and overgrowth. He recognized the volunteer system currently enjoyed by the County and stated a paid police force would cost a lot of tax dollars. Antonio Viadez Mora of Carrollton remarked that he moved to Carrollton for the rural feel and requested the Board to deny the application. He stated that the traffic issue which already exists in the County needs to be dealt with. Lynn Faulkner of Smithfield advised that she had recently had a medical emergency and the ambulance was delayed as a result of traffic. William Faulkner of Smithfield asked what the Board wants from its citizens. Citizens got involved with the East West Partners application and went door to door obtaining 200 signatures on a petition and the residents of Carisbrooke were given no time to investigate the information that they received. He stated the reason citizens live in the County are not to live in clutter, congestion with less safety and more crime. Chairman McCarty closed the public hearing and called for comments by the Board. Discussion evolved around the Envision Isle process which is currently underway. Following discussion that the draft Plan does provide for changes in the Comprehensive Plan and would make this development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. It was further noted that the draft Plan does include mixed use and urban residential for this area and that while this application is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it exists today, the application is consistent with the proposed draft Plan, and that staff would be recommending approval of the application because it would be consistent with the new Plan. It was stated that the new Plan has been thoroughly vetted through all the community meetings that have been held with the consensus being that development needs to be concentrated in the DSDs and not allow sprawl throughout the rest of the County. Chairman McCarty moved that the Board table the application until the Board's January 16, 2020 meeting. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Acree, Rosie, Grice, Jefferson and McCarty voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion. Following a recess, Chairman McCarty called for a public hearing on the following: B. Pitt -Lippe Rezoning Application of East West Partners of Virginia, Inc., Applicant, and Eagle Harbor, LLC, Owners, to Rezone 111.39 Acres from Rural Agriculture Conservation (RAC) to Conditional Planned Development - Mixed Use (C -PD -MX) and to Amend the Conditional Zoning and Rezone 3.2 Acres from Conditional General Commercial (C -GC) to Conditional Planned Development Mixed Use (C -PD -MX) to Allow for 340 Age Restricted Residential Units with Approximately Three (3) Acres of Commercial Land. Chairman McCarty opened the public hearing and called for persons to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed application. No one appeared and spoke in favor or in opposition to the application. Chairman McCarty closed the public hearing and called for comments by the Board. Chairman McCarty moved that the Board table the application until the Board's January 16, 2020 meeting. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Acree, Rosie, Grice, Jefferson and McCarty voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion. Supervisor Rosie advised that he would not be present at the Board's December 12, 2019 meeting, but that he would be joining the meeting electronically. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT County Administrator Keaton reported that for the eighth consecutive year, a Certificate for Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to the County by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada which is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and represents a significant accomplishment by a government organization and its management. County Administrator Keaton reported that the Treasurer's Office had received certification of its accreditation from the Treasurer's Association of Virginia in June 2019. UNFINISHED/OLD BUSINESS Antcliff CBPA Exception Request Reconsideration of the Application of Richard and Joanne Antcliff, Property Owners, for an Exception to the Requirements of Section 4002 of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area (CBPA) Ordinance to Allow Encroachment into the Landward Fifty Feet of the Resource Protection Area Buffer for an Above -Ground Pool with Decking and Equipment at 14 Wenley Circle (Rte. 1407). Supervisor Grice remarked that because he believes that the decision made by the Board at its October 17, 2019 meeting sets a precedence, he moved to rescind the Board's October 17, 2019 motion regarding the denial of the application of Richard and Joanne Antcliff for the exception to the requirements of Section 4002 of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance to allow encroachment into the landward fifty feet of the Resource Protection Area buffer for an above- ground pool with decking and equipment at 14 Wenley Circle. The motion was adopted by a vote of (3-2) with Supervisors Acree, Grice and McCarty voting in favor of the motion and Supervisors Rosie and Jefferson voting against the motion. Supervisor Grice moved that the Board follow the Planning Commission's lead and approve the application with the following additional provisions: 1) that the applicant will install and keep in continuous use a salt versus chlorine filtering 9 system; 2) that the approval be applicable as long as the current owner retains title to the property and it is not transferable; 3) that the temporary and transferable condition be lifted if a more advanced non -chemical filtration system is installed and remains in use; and, that this exception not be transferrable and conditioned on the current owner executing the necessary paperwork to show this condition in the land documents. The motion was adopted by a vote of (4-1) with Supervisors Acree, Rosie, Grice and McCarty voting in favor of the motion and Supervisor Jefferson voting against the motion. Supervisor Grice recommended that the Board and the Planning Commission staff and others who have knowledge of the CBPA have a joint meeting during the first quarter of 2020 and establish common grounds going forward (and provide an opportunity to discuss other issues of common interest) and, at the conclusion a policy position statement be drafted and issued.
