The request is in accordance with all applicable ordinances contingent on approval of the requested waiver.  The overall property is located on the east and west sides of Jones Town Drive (Rt. 637) and contains approximately one hundred sixty (160) acres of land comprised of agricultural, forest and swamp land. Surrounding properties include agricultural and scattered single family residential uses. A complete explanation of the request can be found in the attached Planning Commission staff report. RECOMMENDATION: At its December 16, 2014 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning application and the waiver by a vote of 7-0. Staff recommends the approval of the rezoning request and the waiver. ATTACHMENTS: Planning Commission Staff Report Planning Commission Staff Report Swr Rezoning application of Seward PLANNING REPORT APPLICATION: The application of Jeffrey A. Seward and Melanie D. Seward for a change in zoning classification from Rural Agricultural Conservation (RAC) to Conditional-Rural Residential (C-RR) of 71.55 acres of land located on the east and west sides of Jones Town Drive (Rt. 637) in the Carrsville Election District. The purpose of the application is to create a total of three (3) lots for single family residential use. Tax Map Number 17-01-021 ELECTION DISTRICT: Carrsville LOCATION: The property is located on the east of west sides of Jones Town Drive (Rt. 637), south of the intersection of Mill Swamp Road (Rt. 621). BACKGROUND: The property, which is vacant, contains approximately one hundred sixty (160) acres of land, comprised of agricultural, forest and swamp land. The application request is for the creation of no more than three (3) single-family rural- residential lots which leaves the residue of approximately eighty-eight (88) acres of land. The owner has chosen the sliding scale option for development under the Rural Residential (RR) District. This is three (3) of four (4) residential lots allowed to be created under that option. DESCRIPTION: The purpose of the application is to rezone three (3) lots to be subdivided off the farm. A waiver has been requested to Section 4-3004 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow the lots to contain more than ten (10) acres of land. The applicant has offered a voluntary cash proffer of $4,021, consistent with the revised cash proffer policy, for each of the three (3) lots being created to be paid on or before the time the certificate of occupancy is issued for the single family residence on each new lot. Planning Commission Staff Report Swr Rezoning application of Seward Surrounding properties include agricultural and scattered single family residential uses. ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS: Zoning and Subdivision – The two (2) proposed lots on the east side of Jones Town Drive front on a proposed ingress/egress easement to Jones Town Drive and the lot on the west side of Jones Town Drive fronts on Jones Town Drive. The required lot area in the Rural Residential (RR) zone is a minimum of 40,000 square feet. The minimum lot frontage is 120 feet with 150 feet of lot width at the front setback line. The proposed lots, as shown on the attached zoning exhibit, meet the minimum requirements of the RR zoning district, provided a waiver to Section 4-3004 is approved to allow all lots to contain over ten (10) acres of land. A subdivision plat is required to be approved pending rezoning approval. Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance - The proposed lots are located outside of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. Flood Plain Management District – Proposed lot 1 and 2 contain a special flood hazard zone, however, that does not affect the buildable area on either lot. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The subject property is located in the Rural/Agriculture Conservation District as designated in the Comprehensive Plan. This district is intended to maintain and conserve rural character and farmlands. This area is intended to provide for a full range of agricultural and farming activities and related uses along with some low-density residential development. AGENCY COMMENTS: The application has been reviewed by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and comments provide for the proposed plat of subdivision to provide a ten (10) foot dedication on both sides of Route 637 to bring the thirty (30) foot existing secondary road right-of-way width to fifty (50) feet as required by VDOT and the County for future road widening. Additionally, the plat will be required to contain a note of disclaimer that the two (2) lots not fronting the public road will be served by a private easement Planning Commission Staff Report Swr Rezoning application of Seward and that it is not VDOT’s intent to accept the private easement into the state secondary system of roadways, unless the property owners bring the road to state standards prior to its acceptance into the system; and a note that any entrance off the state road will require a land use permit prior to construction. A proposed drainfield site has been identified on each lot by an Authorized On- site Soil Evaluator (AOSE) and will be reviewed and approved by the Virginia Department of Health at the time a subdivision plat is submitted for approval. There are no outstanding issues that need to be addressed. STAFF CONCLUSIONS: Strengths: 1) The proposal is in accordance with County Ordinances and is compatible with the existing land uses in the vicinity; 2) The proposal is within the guidelines of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan; 3) The applicant has offered the cash proffer for each lot to offset the cost each new lot will have on the County’s services; and 4) The applicant has conditioned delineation of an existing private family cemetery on the subdivision plat and right of access. Weaknesses: 1) None determined at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested waiver to Section 4-3004 of the Zoning Ordinance and approval of the rezoning application. ATTACHMENTS: ■Applicant information ■Site maps Board of Supervisors meeting January 22, 2014 Trenton S. Blowe Big Tow Conditional Use Permit   ISSUE: Motion to Approve a Conditional Use Permit for a Towing Service Storage Yard BACKGROUND: The request of Scott Dillon, on behalf of Robert P. Weeks, is under consideration for the conditional use of a towing service storage yard. A towing service storage yard allows for the temporary storage of inoperable vehicles. The subject towing operation has been operating within the Isle of Wight Industrial Park and was found to be in violation of the County’s Zoning Ordinance because of the storage of inoperable vehicles on the property. Upon discovery, staff determined that the Zoning Ordinance only allowed for inoperable vehicles to be stored in salvage yards; however, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles requires that vehicles that are towed shall be maintained for a certain number days before they can be salvaged.    County staff worked with the applicant to amend the Zoning Ordinance to provide for a towing service storage yard to accommodate for this type of use as a conditional use in the Limited Industrial (LI) zoning district. The Zoning Ordinance amendment was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 19, 2014 and the applicant subsequently applied for a CUP in order to come into compliance with the County’s regulations. RECOMMENDATION: At its December 16, 2014 meeting, the Planning Commission, by a vote of 7- 0, recommended approval of this CUP conditioned on the fence being installed. Staff recommends approval for the CUP. ATTACHMENTS: PC Staff Report ISSUE: Staff Report – Legislative Update BACKGROUND: The 2015 Session of the General Assembly began on January 14, 2015.

Creates a state tax on electronic cigarettes, electronic cigars, electronic cigarillos, and similar products and devices (vapor products) and authorizes cities and towns and certain counties to impose a tax on vapor products. The state tax would be imposed at a rate $0.40 per milliliter of nicotine liquid solution or other material containing nicotine that is depleted as the vapor product is used. All revenues from the state tax on vapor products would be deposited into the Virginia Health Care Fund, into which all revenues from the state tax on cigarettes are currently deposited. Counties, cities, and towns that are currently authorized to tax cigarettes would be authorized to also tax vapor products at rates determined by the local governing bodies. The bill requires a local governing body imposing the tax to base the tax upon the per milliliter content of nicotine liquid solution or other material containing nicotine that is depleted as the vapor product is used. The bill authorizes Arlington and Fairfax Counties to impose a vapor products tax, but at a rate that does not exceed the state tax on vapor products created under the bill. Under current law, Arlington and Fairfax Counties may impose a tax on cigarettes at a rate that does not exceed the state cigarette tax. Any local government imposing a vapor products tax would be required to use the revenues from the tax solely for making grant payments to or funding in support of center-based pre-kindergarten programs or preschool programs designed for child development and kindergarten preparation. The bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2016. DELEGATE SCOTT W. TAYLOR HB 1416 Real property tax assessment; appeal to circuit court.

Staff Report: Proposed FY 2016-2025 CIP; 1/22/15; CBM ISSUE: Staff Report – Proposed FY 2016-2025 Capital Improvements Plan BACKGROUND: Staff will present the proposed FY 2016-2025 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) as recommended by the Isle of Wight County Planning Commission. The CIP has been developed in accordance with Chapter 2, Article II, Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Development Process, of the County Policy Manual. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt the CIP following a public hearing at the February 19, 2015 Board of Supervisors meeting. BUDGETARY IMPACT: There is no budget impact. RECOMMENDATION: Receive the staff presentation of the proposed FY 2016-2025 CIP. ATTACHMENT: Proposed FY 2016-2025 Capital Improvements Plan Qtrly Financial Report 1st Qtr FY15/MT/ B & F    ISSUE: Staff Report – Quarterly Financial Report BACKGROUND: Staff has compiled information relative to the County’s financial performance for the 2nd quarter ended of FY 15. A brief presentation will be made on the status and implications of the County’s financial performance. RECOMMENDATION: For the Board’s information. ATTACHMENTS: Information to be provided at the January 22, 2015 meeting. ISSUE: Staff Report – Tyler’s Beach Update BACKGROUND: At its regular meeting on June 19, 2014, the Board of Supervisors received a staff report outlining three options for the future of Tyler’s Beach. The Board tabled the discussion to the July 17, 2014 meeting and then to the August 21, 2014 meeting, and again to the January Board meeting. Since that time a group of local waterman cleaned up the storage yard; however, within a few weeks, new vessels took the place of the old ones. Recently, approximately one hundred crab pots were left sitting on the property. BUDGETARY IMPACT: Should the Board elect the recommended Option #3, the budgetary impact will include an increase of $85,000 in additional expenditures annually. Staff is also projecting an increase of $73,500 in additional revenues upon full implementation of fees. RECOMMENDATION: Staff continues to recommend Option #3 which includes enhanced enforcement of Policies and Ordinances by a part-time Park Ranger(s) (funded by fees) as well as adoption of the attached policy amendments. ATTACHMENTS: - June 19, 2014 Staff Report - Policy Amendments - Ordinance Revisions Staff Report from the Board’s June 19, 2014 Meeting ISSUE: Tyler’s Beach Solutions and Strategies BACKGROUND: Tyler’s Beach is a public boat harbor that currently houses approximately seventeen (17) boats (private and commercial) ranging in size from twenty (20) to forty (40) feet. A boat launch, maintenance yard, and public beach are also located on the property. The County currently charges $250 per year to moor at the harbor. This fee includes use of the maintenance yard and electricity. In order to accommodate the commercial fishermen’s need to work with the changing tides, the facility is open twenty-four (24) hours a day. Challenges  Bulkhead in need of replacement  Channel is in need of dredging  Damage to facility  No designated slips  Feral and stray animals  Abandoned property at the facility  People living on their boats or camping on the property  Disorderly conduct  Individuals failing to register their boats  Sunken dilapidated boats  Excessive debris in the maintenance yard Steps Taken  Six 40 gallon trash cans have been removed from the site to dissuade citizens from disposing of household waste on the property  Sheriff’s Office has committed to enforcing ordinances such as park facility leash law, public intoxication, and alcohol in park facilities. The Department of Parks and Recreation has not had the resources to enforce policies and ordinances at Tyler’s Beach since 2008. At that time funding for a Deputy to staff the facility twenty hours per week was eliminated from the Sheriff’s Department Budget. The mechanism to enforce the policies and ordinances is vital to the success of the operation of the facility. Staff offers four options for moving forward:  Option 1 – Close facility  Option 2 – Continue to operate as is  Option 3 – Make additional funding available to the Isle of Wight Sheriff’s Office to pay over-time for regular periods of enforcement throughout the year (approximately 800 hours at a cost of $26,000)  Option 4 – Hire a Park Ranger for the Department of Park and Recreation at a cost of approximately $50,000 annually (approximately 2,080 hours). A Park Ranger would have authority to enforce not only ordinances, but policies as well. A full –time staff person would also have an opportunity to interact with patrons on a regular basis. Although Tyler’s Beach would be the main site, this staff person would also have authority to enforce ordinances in all County Parks. Paying for the Future Staff projects an additional $51,000 in revenue. The following fees are proposed to offset the cost of the facility operations:  Monthly slip fees 20 vessels at $150 per month ($36,000)  Boat launch 250 annual passes at $50 ($12,500)  Bid Seafood sales annual lease agreement ($2,500) BUDGETARY IMPACT: The overall budgetary impact would be an increase in expenditures over revenues in the amount of $34,000 ($85,000 in additional expenditures and an increase of $51,000 in additional revenues). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Option 4 which would include hiring a full-time Park Ranger to enforce the proposed ordinances and polices. Additionally staff recommends that the Board take the following actions in conjunction with options 3 or 4:  Adopt the attached policy amendments.  Direct staff to advertise the attached ordinances for a public hearing.  Close the boat yard that was constructed to allow boat owners space to make repairs to their boats. This space can be used to impound delinquent boat owner’s property. Install a gate that operates on a timer (approximately $15,000). Pursue the removal of delinquent and abandoned boats (approximately $20,000). Adjust the hours of operational to dawn to dusk exempting registered boat owner and their agents or guests.  Direct staff to prepare a budget amendment to reflect proposed fees, projected revenue, and costs outlined in this report.  Address major facility renovations in the County’s Capital Improvement Program leveraging Health Department Boating Infrastructure Grant Funds.

BACKGROUND: Commonwealth Engineering (Mitch Wilcox, Engineer) on behalf of Dominion Hay (Mike Coyne, Purchaser) and Charlie Daniels, Owner, is requesting a waiver from Article VI, Sections 6-1010.A of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow for relief from the architectural guidelines set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and to comply with the example shown herein. This waiver would allow for reduced architectural requirements to the proposed building, to be consistent with surrounding buildings, which were developed under a previous version of the Zoning Ordinance. Under the previous ordinance the design standards were lower than the current requirements. RECOMMENDATION: At its December 16, 2014 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the waiver request by a vote of 7-0. Staff recommends the approval of the waiver request. ATTACHMENTS: Planning Commission Staff Report   ISSUE: Staff Report – Recommended Preferred Alternative for the Route 460 Upgrade BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the Federal Highway Administration, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have recommended an alternative route for the Route 460 upgrade that bypasses the Town of Windsor (to the north) and includes a bridge across the Blackwater River in Zuni. The proposed route will potentially have a negative impact on the County’s intermodal park. Additionally, VDOT has advised that at least 15 families, 3 businesses, and 3 farms will be directly impacted by the project. Staff will provide an update at Thursday’s meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Per the Board’s discussion and direction. ATTACHMENT: VDOT Press Release VDOT, FHWA AND U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS MAKE PROGRESS ON ENVIRONMENTAL WORK TO IMPROVE U.S. 460 CORRIDOR IN SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA Recommended Preferred Alternative identified RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have identified an alternative that appears to be the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative to improve the U.S. 460 corridor in southeastern Virginia. The recommended Preferred Alternative would improve 17 miles of U.S. 460 from Suffolk to west of Zuni. A new four-lane divided highway would be built from the U.S. 460/58 interchange in Suffolk to west of Windsor. From west of Windsor to west of Zuni, the existing U.S. 460 would be upgraded to a four-lane divided highway and include a new bridge across the Blackwater River to eliminate long standing flooding problems. Map of Preferred Alternative – 17 miles of improvements from Suffolk to west of Zuni "Secretary Layne has clearly stated his commitment to finding effective transportation solutions that minimize impacts to wetlands," said Colonel Paul Olsen, commander of the Corps' Norfolk District. "The Federal Highway Administration, VDOT and the Corps cooperatively developed a draft Supplemental EIS that ensures environmental resources are identified and fully evaluated against a full range of alternatives. I am confident that with the additional analysis and upcoming public comment periods required by law, VDOT will develop a project that balances the economic and transportation needs of the Region with our responsibility to protect our natural and aquatic resources." Transportation Secretary Aubrey Layne added, “I would like to thank Colonel Olsen, the Corps, and the FHWA for working hand-in-hand with VDOT to come up with a recommended alternative that can move into the permitting process. We still have a lot of work to do, but it is important that we continue to work together to improve safety and hurricane evacuation with an alternative that impacts the fewest possible acres of wetlands.” “VDOT will continue to take a methodical and deliberative approach with the Corps and the FHWA,” said VDOT Commissioner Charlie Kilpatrick. “Engaging with our federal partners is critical as we work through the complexities of environmental work and project development.” The project cost is estimated to be between $375 million and $425 million. VDOT will present the recommended preferred alternative to the Commonwealth Transportation Board this Tuesday, Jan. 13, during their workshop in Richmond. Summary of the recommended Preferred Alternative:  Wetland impacts – 52 acres  Displacements – 22, including 15 residential properties, 3 commercial properties, 3 farms and one non-profit property  Safety – 41 percent lower than the no build alternative  Evacuation capacity – 13,400 vehicles per hour with seven lanes of contraflow versus the no build alternative  Mobility – improves safety and mobility by separating local and regional traffic   Background: VDOT, the FHWA and the Corps developed a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) that evaluated alternatives to improve the U.S. 460 corridor. The public had an opportunity to review and comment on the SEIS last fall. Three public hearings were held and more than 520 comments were received. The recommended Preferred Alternative came from information included and evaluated in the Draft SEIS.

The billboard will entice viewers to go to the Smithfield & Isle of Wight Facebook page to like and share the contest. This campaign increases awareness of the close, romantic, getaways available in Smithfield and Isle of Wight during the month of “love”. All overnight stays dramatically increase the visitor “spend” in Smithfield and Isle of Wight County. In addition, the promotion will be featured on our website and other social outlets with the goal being to capture email addresses for future cost effective marketing.

MEMORANDUM TO: Anne Seward, County Administrator FROM: Ralph Anderson, Solid Waste Division Manager SUBJECT: Solid Waste Division Litter Pickup DATE: January 5, 2015 Solid Waste Division, with the help of the Western Tidewater Regional Jail Workers, continues to make an effort to keep the County roadways clean. Litter pick-up has been limited during the months of September thru December due to the focus on the serving recycling programs, illegal dumping investigation and the limitation on the available number of Work Release inmates from the Western Tidewater Regional Jail.  The following is a list of roads where litter was picked up during the months of October thru December 2014: Route 10: Courthouse Hwy to Ft Huger Dr. Poor House Rd: Courthouse Hwy to Bob White Rd Courthouse Hwy: Poor House Rd. to Red House Rd Central Hill Rd: Courthouse Hwy to Whispering Pine Tr.

Scott`s Factory Rd: Courthouse Hwy to Turner Dr. Bethel Church Ln: Waterworks Rd to Blairs Creek Dr. January 22, 2015/asc/Update Carrollton VFD Compliance with OMD Requirements ISSUE: Staff Report: Update Carrollton Vol. Fire Department compliance with OMD requirements BACKGROUND: At the December 18th meeting, staff presented the Board Dr. Joel Michael’s, the County’s Operational Medical Director’s (OMD), response standards for the Carrollton Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD). This request was originally made to CVFD in April 2014 and the response standards were as follows:  90 second enroute response time by an appropriately staffed medic 90% of the time  100% sanctioning of all ALS providers through the Tidewater Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) Council.  Scheduling of all volunteers on a monthly basis to assure around-the- clock provider availability and determine specific supplemental staffing needs. As the CVFD had not met his expectations in regards to the response standards, Dr. Michael has made the following specific request of CVFD:  Participate in a centralized scheduling program that would include CVFD, Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad (IWVRS) and the Isle of Wight Department of Emergency Services (IOWDES). The first overall schedule to be established and maintained by a scheduler at IWVRS beginning February 1, 2015. At the time of adoption, the schedule shall be consistent with the current IWVRS staffing protocols, all scheduled ALS providers shall be TEMS sanctioned and BLS providers shall be reviewed and determined eligible to provide such care.  IOWDES, in conjunction with IWVRS, to continue to provide precepting assistance to CVFD members. January 22, 2015/asc/Update Carrollton VFD Compliance with OMD Requirements  CVFD provide a roster of their current EMS providers, their certifications and contact information to Chief Brian Carroll by December 31st. In the event that CVFD chooses not to comply with Dr. Michael’s response standards and request, he requests that the BOS evaluate the ability of CVFD to operate as a Designated Emergency Response Agency (DERA) in the county. As of January 12th, CVFD had provided IWVRS with some of the requested information, but not all. A roster of providers was provided, however, additional information on some certifications held by the providers is still needed (clarification on EMT skill level, supervisor capability and EVOC (driver) certification). The roster provided by CVFD identified 5 TEMS ALS, 8 Not TEMS ALS, 5 EMT Enhanced, 26 EMT-B, 16 Driver/EVOC, 2 FF Only and 2 Admin staff. An email was sent to all identified CVFD providers on January 5th requesting their availability for “in station” shift coverage during the month of February. As of this writing, responses were received from 4 CVFD members and only 1 provided station availability. IWVRS is attempting to work with Chief Acree and Lt. Gravel to obtain the additional information needed in order to develop the February schedule, but questions the ability to accomplish Dr. Michael’s directive due to lack of support from CVFD members. Staff will provide additional information at the Board’s meeting on Thursday. BUDGETARY IMPACT: There is no budget impact at this time. RECOMMENDATION: For the Board’s information. ATTACHMENTS: None Intergov’t Meeting Request – Smithfield Town Council; CBM; 1/22/2015 ISSUE: Request from Smithfield Town Council to Hold an Intergovernmental Meeting BACKGROUND: As directed by the Board at the December 2014 meeting, the County Administrator contacted Peter Stephenson, Town Manager for the Town of Smithfield, with potential dates for the intergovernmental meeting in late February 2015. The Town of Smithfield has responded that it would like to hold the meeting sooner than the dates and times provided by the County. Staff will coordinate the intergovernmental meeting with the Town of Smithfield as directed by the Board. BUDGETARY IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction regarding intergovernmental meeting with the Town of Smithfield.
