an effort to make the Zoning Ordinance more business friendly, the Small
Business Committee (SBC) has recommended a series of amendments to
Section 9 -1004, Temporary Signs, which was approved by the Board on June
16, 2011. He advised that at the time of the initial approval of the temporary
sign amendment, the Board had included a 90 -day grace period for the
implementation of the civil fines, which was later extended and expired on
January 1, 2012. He requested direction from the Board, which now has
three (3) new members, before proceeding with possible civil action against
business owners who are in violation of the County Code regulations for the
display of temporary signage. He requested the Board provide direction as to
whether or not it supports the temporary sign amendment and implementation
of civil fines as previously approved. He advised that there are a series of
amendments that will require a public hearing by the Planning Commission
and Board and that staff suggests that the minor adjustments to the Zoning
5
Ordinance pertaining to the awards banners be included in conjunction with
the setback amendments.
Supervisor Bailey recommended a grace period and that businesses be
allowed to leave the sign out for 30 days if they want to take it in every night
and put it back out the next day. He stated that he will contact business
owners who have signs out at their businesses and request their input.

from Milt Cummings, Vice - President, Smithfield Soccer Club, to waive or
reduce the field rental fees at Nike Park to allow the Club to hold a Soccer
tournament for the purpose of raising funds for Relay for Life. He advised
that the Club's fees were reduced by the Board last year from $1,430 to $250,
which covered the cost of supplies and salaries incurred by Parks and
Recreation to host the tournament. He advised that depending on the

needed, staff is anticipating the Club's rental fee to be $700.

and Heritage Park. He advised that the list produced by the two (2) groups
will be used by staff to program the Parks and Recreational Capital
Improvement Plan. He advised that the Heritage Park Committee had
reviewed the facilities with revenue generating potential, the amphitheater
and multi - purpose building. He advised that the Nike Park Committee had
reviewed projects that could enhance current programming, which included
expansion to the parking for the soccer fields and making improvements to
the skateboard park. He requested that the members of both Committees be
recognized by the Board for their service to the County.
Gina Ippolito, Nike Park Committee member, addressed the Board
regarding safety issues associated with the parking at Nike Park due to the
tremendous growth of the soccer program. She requested the Board to
consider the proposed expansion plan recommended by the Nike Park
Committee.
Mr. Furlo distributed a sponsorship book associated with the 2012 Isle
of Wight County for the Board's information and use in distributing to local
businesses. He acknowledged and thanked the sponsors for their donations.
Chairman Casteen commented on the need for restrooms at the
Amphitheatre at Heritage Park for use by the general public.
Mr. Furlo advised that a decision on whether or not there will be
restrooms for the general public will be addressed during the design process.
He advised that he envisions a restroom for the general public in the multi-
purpose building, such as the one at the State Fair.
Chairman Casteen called for the General Services report.
Eddie P. Wrightson, Director of General Services, addressed the Board
regarding water system connection charges at Ashby, Brewers Creek,
Carrollton Forrest, Quail Meadows and Cedar Grove subdivisions, which will
be connected to the Western Tidewater Water Authority water source and
represent 301 new customers. He advised that the County most recently
purchased the private water systems that serve Rushmere Shores, Poplar
Harbor, Ballards Creek and the old Murphy's Trailer Park, which will remain
on private wells and which represent an additional 100 new customers. He
advised that the County Code requires an assessment of a connection fee of
$4,000 for new residential customers to offset the cost of the County's
investment in securing water sources and constructing infrastructure. He
recommended a connection charge not be assessed for those systems that will
7
remain on private wells and a reduced connection charge be assessed for
those systems which will be connected to the Western Tidewater Water
Authority water source. He advised that the total cost to connect Ashby,
Brewers Creek, Carrollton Forrest, Quail Meadows and Cedar Grove
subdivisions to the County's system was $64,722, equating to a $215
connection charge per customer. He advised that in the past, these customers
have been without water and the Authority has a generator which operates the
entire plant. He advised that the water is also tested daily. He stated the
quality and responsiveness of Public Utilities staff to water issues will be
greatly enhanced and the fire hydrants, which did not work previously, will
now work which may allow a customer to enjoy a better rate on their
homeowners' insurance.
Supervisor Darden moved to authorize the assessment of a $215
connection charge to the new County water customers in Ashby, Brewers
Creek, Edgewood, Quail Meadows and Cedar Grove subdivisions. The
motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with Supervisors Darden, Bailey, Hall,
Alphin and Casteen voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting
against the motion.
Mr. Wrightson informed the Board that unprecedented operational
problems associated with the capacity limits of the Windsor Vacuum Sewer
Pump Station and transmission lines are occurring and the Department of
General Services has stopped allowing new connections or increased flow to
the sewer system until such time as improvements to the system can be
implemented. He advised that the Schools have discovered that the existing
Windsor Middle School was only partially connected to the Windsor vacuum
system. He advised that the flow from the new Windsor Middle School is
anticipated to be greater than that from the existing school facility and the
HCP, VA convalescence facility on Route 258 is also connected to the
system and contributes a significant amount of flow. He advised that the
long -range plan is to build a pump station and pump sewer from the
convalescence center to the Hampton Roads Sanitation District force main on
Route 460. He stated that Schools' staff believe a pump station and force
main can be incorporated for the school sewer flow into their new middle
school budget and, they are agreeable, if funds are available, to construct the
larger station that will also accept flow from the convalescence facility. He
stated that the larger station is the preferred approach as it will free up
capacity for additional development in Windsor. He advised that School
officials are requesting a commitment from the Board that if it proceeds with
the larger station and it causes them to exceed their budget on the project,
that the County will contribute its fair share of the cost for the larger pump
station. He stated if the total project bids are within the School's budget, no
contribution for the larger station will be necessary. He advised that the
County's Director of Budget and Finance and the School's Chief Operating
Officer are looking for sources for the needed funds and a possibility is from
the School's bond money, which is currently drawing interest and which may
be sufficient to cover the cost of the project. He advised that the pumping
station is not designed yet, however, staff believes that it will cost
approximately $1 million dollars, of which the School's share will be
$500,000 and the County's $500,000. He stated it is believed that the
County's portion can be covered out of the School's $23.5 million budget.
Mr. Terry advised that the Schools have a budget with the bonds and
they believe they can do what they need to do. He stated with respect to the
cost of the pumping station, staff believes that there should be sufficient
interest over the course of the project to cover the cost of the pumping
station.
Phillip A. Bradshaw briefed the Board regarding the history of the
Windsor vacuum system which initially had grey water and not solid waste
hooked up. He stated that he anticipates the Schools being able to cover the
cost of the project from interest earned on the bond. He stated that he will
keep the Board updated as this project moves along.
Supervisor Alphin moved to authorize approval of the County's cost
share, should it be necessary, so that school officials may proceed with
design and construction of a pump station and force main that will serve both
the new middle school and the convalescence center. The motion was
adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with Supervisors Darden, Bailey, Hall, Alphin and
Casteen voting in favor of the motion and no Supervisors voting against the
motion.
Mr. Wrightson notified the Board of the new Courts Building Silver
LEED certification.
Chairman Casteen moved that staff be authorized to purchase a plaque
in the amount of $500 for display in the Courts building acknowledging the
Silver LEED certification. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5 -0) with
Supervisors Darden, Bailey, Hall, Alphin and Casteen voting in favor of the
motion and no Supervisors voting against the motion.

10
Mr. Robertson briefed the Board regarding House Bill 185 which
proposes to take revenues away from local government and House Bill 166
dealing with zoning matters. He stated that local governments will struggle
protecting itself this year against harmful legislation that may diminish the
County's ability to raise revenues or diminish its authority relative to land
use issues. He stated included in the Board's agenda is a request from a
citizen that the County ask the General Assembly to allow individuals with
medical difficulties resulting in catastrophic costs in the amount of $20,000
upwards to be exempted from their real estate taxes.
Chairman Casteen recommended amending the ordinance section
which currently allows for an exemption or deferral for the elderly or
handicapped to include a third provision for catastrophic medical costs in
excess of $20,000.
Mr. Robertson recommended that the Board wait until next year and
allow staff to study the language which creates the most issue and needs
revision.

VACo for the Board's consideration next year.
