Jonathan W. Hartley, Director of Planning and Zoning, .referred to the
list of VDOT responses. to action items from various board meetings through ~
October 20, 2005, as confined in the agenda. He also distributed updates on
certain issues up to November 17, 2005.
Supervisor Clark requested that the. inaccurate reporting in a local
newspaper that the County had requested. a traffic light study on Cedar Grove
Lane be corrected. ''
MacFarland Neblett, Resident Engineer, VDOT, advised that Mr.
Hartley had corresponded by letter. dated June 11, 2004. relaying a request
from the Board that there be an investigation into the visibility at the
intersection of Route 17 and Cedar Grove Road due to reports of accidents at
that, location. He further advised that Mr. Caskey had also relayed a citizen's
request for improvements at that intersection, and requested VDOT's
recommendation for any improvements, and what transportation safety funds
might be available. to address any such work. He stated neither the letter
from Mr. Hartley nor Mr. Caskey mentioned a request for a stop light, red
light or traffic control device.
Following comments from Jerry Paulley, Assistant District Traffic
Engineer, VDOT, regarding traffic Lights located on Route. 17, Chairman
Bradshaw moved that the Board direct Supervisor Clark to work with staff
and VDOT regarding traffic lights on Route 17, and direct Mr. Hartley to
develop a map depicting the location and distance between the existing. traffic
lights located on Route 17, to include any additional traffic lights that have
been approved for the future, for presentation to the Board at its December 1,
2005 meeting. Mr. Hartley was further directed to be prepared to address
VDOT's standards for installing traffic lights, i.e., what triggers the
installation of a traffic light. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with
Supervisors Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark, Wright and Ivy voting in favor of the
motion, and no Supervisors voting against the motion.
Supervisor Ivy inquired as to the amount of the bid that was finally
awarded .for Foursquare Road. Mr. Hartley advised that the bid received the
third time was for $2,861,228.51, and it still exceeded the seven percent (7%)
overage of the cost estimate for that project. -
Pat Clark of Twin Hill Lane in Carrollton advised that the inaccurate
article that was printed in the newspaper with respect to the traffic light at
Cedar Grove Road also advised that .one (1) of the traffic lights on Route 17
was privately owned and could not be synchronized with the existing traffic
lights. He inquired if the State has the ability to request the owner of the
private traffic light to synchronize that light with the exiting traffic lights.
Mr, Neblett responded that the traffic light installed by the developer
remains in his ownership until the light has been tested for thirty (30) days.
5
am ~~ •~~~
He stated the timing of the light has been coordinated with the one (1) at the
main entrance to the Eagle Harbor Subdivision. He advised after thirty (30)
days, if there is successful coordination and operation of the traffic light, then

Chairman Bradshaw requested that Mr. Neblett send a statement to the-
newspaper correcting any inaccuracies previously printed in the referenced
news article.

in having a traff c light at the intersection of King's Cove Way and Route 1 ?
installed. He further requested. the .Board's assistance with an additional turn
lane, 'and that the turning lane going towards Newport News be extended to

Supervisor Clark moved that the Board direct Mr. Rogers to request
that VDOT review the feasibility of installing cleft-turn lane eastbound on
Route 17 toward Newport News, and installing aright-turn lane off of Route
17 onto King's. Cove Way, westbound on Route 17, and consult with the
School Board and obtain its endorsement of a left-turn lane. The motion was

At 7:00 p:m., Supervisor .Wright moved the Board amend the regular
order of the agenda in order to conduct the public hearings. The. motion was
adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark,
Wright and Ivy voting iri favor of the motion, and no Supervisors voting
against the motion.
. Chairman. Bradshaw called for a public hearing on the following:
The application of .George R. Pulley for a change in zoning
classification from Rural Agricultural Conservation (RAC) to
Conditional-Rural Residential (C-RR) of 19 ~ acres of land located on
the south side of Peanut Drive (Rt. 649), east of Beale Place Drive (Rt.
646), in the Carrsville Election District. The purpose. of the application
is for three (3) single-family residential lots, as conditioned.
.Chairman Bradshaw called for persons to speak in favor, or in
opposition to, the application.
George Pulley of Peanut Drive in Windsor stated the purpose of the
proposed rezoning is to sell the lots to three (3) of his good friends, and each
of the homes would consist of more than 2,000 square feet.
Thomas Finderson of the Newport District. noted .that the Zoning
Ordinance specifies that. unless otherwise approved by the Board of
Supervisors, .the first two (2) lots shall be located on private-shared
driveways that serve no more than two (2) residences with no frontage on the
public roads. He stated in this circumstance, all three (3) lots contain road
frontage, contrary to the Zoning .Ordinance. He recommended that at least
two (2) of the proposed lots have private-shared driveways. He stated with
respect to Mr. Pulley's proffers that the lots would not be re~subdivided, even
through family-member transfers. He recommends that there be some sort of
proffer for the residual so that the residual can not be subdivided in the
future. He stated that Mr. Pulley's verbal advisement that each of the .three
(3) lots will contain a 2,000 square foot home is not contained in his proffer
letter, nor does he proffer no mobile homes.. He stated there is also- close
proximity to an agricultural district as a portion of Peanut Road is located in
the Courthouse Agricultural District. He noted that the proposed lots are also
remote from fire and rescue.
Pat Clark of Twin Hill Lane in Carrollton stated with respect to the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the three (3) homes per the
nineteen (19) acres are not in keeping with the sliding scale and. clustering
approach. He inquired if nineteen (19) acres are committed to the proposed
three (3) homes with the remainder .being left in .open space, does it prevent
development from occurring. in the future once the total process is used to
arrive at these three (3) homes for the nineteen (19) acres.

Jane March of Zuni distributed a letter for the record pertaining to the
Pu(ley and Dixon rezoning requests. She stated the Planning Commission
did not express clearly its reason for supporting the two (2) applications
which are located outside development service districts, which are areas that
the Board wishes growth to be directed. She noted the applications under
consideration are located in RAC districts where housing is discouraged. She
referred to the County's Comprehensive Plan which states conflicts between
farming and rural non-farming development .should be minimized, and
referred to a new brochure developed by County staff that warns new citizens
that they are moving into a rural county. She stated that the proposed lots
border a working farm, and residential development and density in the ru~l
agricultural conservation district should be minimized to avoid future
conflicts between farming activities and aural homes. She stated- that rural
subdivisions are being created through individual rezonings over time, which
is in violation of the County's growth and management plan. She stated that
the tendency is for new development to be stripped along the roadway, and
the farmstead cluster should be encouraged. She stated. that the owners have
retained the right to further subdivide the. remaining farmland in the future, as
there is no proffer of no family transfer on the remaining farm in the future.
She mentioned. that mail and paper carriers, school buses and service vehicles
will be adding additional traffic on rural narrow roads. She stated that new
residential development should be steered to .locations where adequate public
infrastructure, such as roads, sewer, water, schools, and related facilities are
available or .can be provided most efficiently and cost effectively. She
encouraged the Board to discourage .strip development along County roads
and highways for both traffic safety and esthetic reasons.
Chairman Bradshaw closed the public hearing and called for comments
from the Board.
Supervisor Clark requested that Mr. Hartley address the issue of the
sliding -scale options, and how the residue. is tracked.
Mr. Hartley replied that the rezoning of the above requested three (3)
lots becomes a flag for any further subdivision of the property. He stated that
what is proposed is the maximum number of lots under the sliding scale
system that this property owner is allowed. He stated there can not be any
further subdivision of this property under the current .Ordinance,. with the
exception of family member transfers, which he has proffered not to do on
the lots being created, but there is no such proffer on the remaining ninety
three (93) acres.
Chairman Bradshaw inquired if mobile homes could be located on the
II
lots.
Mr. Hartley replied that singlewide mobile homes are not allowed in
the RR District; however, doublewide mobile homes .are allowed.

motion, and no Supervisors. voting against the motion.

purpose of the application is for 3single-family residential lots, as
conditioned.
County Attorney Stroman verified that the application was properly
advertised.
Chairman Bradshaw called for persons to speak in favor of, or in
opposition to, the proposed application.
William Riddick, attorney for the applicant, stated the proposed
application restricts the subdivision of property to no more than three (3) lots,
with an eighty-five (85) acre residue. He stated the applicant is proffering
full-cash proffers, and the applicant has submitted an amended proffer since
the. Planning Commission meeting that the lots will not be further subdivided,
to include family-member subdivisions. He stated the residue parcel may not
be further subdivided except for one (1) family-member subdivision He
1
stated mobile homes will not be permitted on the lots, and the homes will be
a minimum of 1,800 square feet.
John Graham of 113 Jericho Road requested that the Board approve the
application.

.proposed three (3) separate driveways. He inquired if there were six (6)
proposed lots, would there also be six (6) driveways. He stated it appears to
