//
Chairman Bradby called for the Boards review and adoption
of the proposed Isle of Wight County Budget for Fiscal Year
1988-89 and the Tax Levy Ordinance.
Supervisor Ross commended the County Administrator and his
staff for having done a good job on the proposed budget and moved
the Board adopt the budget as proposed and tax levy ordinance as
advertised.
Supervisor Edwards stated, "My job title is Director of
Advocacy for the Tidewater Association For Retarded Citizens.
Tidewater ARC administers several programs with different
budgets. None of the programs which I administer receive any
funds from the Community Services Board. Our summer camp program
does receive a small amount of funding .from the Community
Services Board. However, I do not administer that program and I
am not paid with any CSB funds. Under these facts, Mr. Crook, do
you believe I have a conflict of interests in voting for
appropriations to CSB?"
County Attorney Crook responded that under Sectfon 2,1-639.7
of the Conflict of Interest Act there would. be a conflict of
interests if the Community Services Board (CSB) was under the
control of the Board of Supervisors or if the Board of
Supervisors appointed a majority of the members on the CSB.
However, since there was no control by the Board of Supervisors
of the CSB nor of the budget of the CSB, there was no legal
conflict of interests on the part of Supervisor Edwards voting on
the County budget even though the budget included. an
appropriation of funds for the CSB.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Chairman Bradby .called for a public hearing on the
following:
1. Application For Permit For Fireworks Demonstration
Alan Nogiec, Director, Recreational Facilities Authority,
appeared to represent the applicant and gave a brief explanation
of the application.
No ®ne appeared in opposition.
On .motion of Supervisor Bradshaw, the Board voted
unanimously (5-0) to approve the permit for the Recreational
Facilities Authority to conduct a fireworks demonstration on July
3, 1988 or July 4, 1988 in case of rain on the 3rd.

Service Office at Isle of Wight
Isle of Wight, Virginia.

Extension
Courthouse,
No one appeared in favor or in opposition.
Supervisor Turner moved the Board approve the request of the
4-H Clubs of Isle of Wight County for a permit to hold a raffle
on September 1, 1988 at 5:30 P. M. at the Virginia Cooperative
Extension Service Office. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
3. An Ordinance To Amend The Isle of Wight County
Code., Chapter 3, Article II, To Increase
License Tax For Dogs
Supervisor Bradshaw opposed raising the license tax for
dogs, stating he felt an increase of $2.00 was enough, because it
could make a hardship for elderly people.
Supervisor Edwards stated he was in favor of raising user
fees instead of having the County subsidizing a handful of
people, such as user fees for things like rezoning. "I am not in
favor of an increase either", said Supervisor Edwards.
Bob Hart, Smithfield resident, expressed concern as to
whether a study had been conducted relative to subsidizing dog
owners with tax money or are the dog license fees now sufficient
t® pay for the dog warden and associated costs.
County Administrator Standish stated, "Right now we could
not possibly raise fees to the extent of haying for animal
control operation, it would be very, very high". This is an
increase to generate just a little more revenue to help reduce
the burden from the tax rate. If you think $10.00 is too much, I
would recommend $7.00 or $7.50".
Following discussion, Supervisor Turner moved the Board
adopt the "Ordinance To Amend The Isle of Wight County Code,
Chapter 3, Article II, To Increase License Tax For Dogs" from
$5.00 to $7.00. The motion passed (4-1) with Supervisors Turner,
Ross, Bradshaw and Bradby voting aye and Supervisor Edwards
voting nay.
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY CODE,
° CHAPTER 3, ARTICLE II, TO INCREASE LICENSE TAX FOR
DOGS
BE IT AND IT IS .HEREBY ORDAINED by the
Board of Supervisors of Isle of Wight County,
Virginia that the Isle of Wight County Code, Chapter
3, Animals and Fowl, Article II, Dogs, Division
2, Licensing Generally, Section 3-12(b) be amended
to read as follows:

BOQK 14 r~~=136
(Kennel fees shall be unchanged.)
4. An Ordinance To Regulate The Burning of Woods,
Brush, Etc. Between The Hours of 4:00 P. M. and
12:00 Midnight
No one appeared in favor or in opposition.
County Attorney Crook stated he would like to offer a .word
of explanation for the ordinance, Mr. Chairman. The statute, as
it now reads, is a State law, but it doesn't apply in the County
unless the County adopts an ordinance to that effect. The County
has adopted such an ordinance to bring this State law into effect
in the County in"the past. I understand that it was done in the
40's and I believe it was done again in the late 60's, but since
your County Code was adopted in 1978, any ordinances not in that
Code was repealed when the codification ordinance was adopted, so
it has not been in effect in Isle of Wight County since 1978.
You need this ordinance to make it effective at this time.
On motion of Supervisor Turner, the Board voted unanimously
(5-0) to adopt the "Ordinance To Regulate The Burning of Woods,
Brush, Etc. Between the Hours of 4:00 P. M. and 12:00 Midnight"<
AN ORDINANCE TO REGULATE THE BURNING OF WOODS,.
BRUSH, ETC. BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 4:00 P. M.
AND 12:00 MLDNIGHT
BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE
$OARD OF SUPERVISORS of the County of Isle of
Wight, Virginia pursuant to Section 10-62 of the
Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, that
during the period beginning March l and ending
May 15 of each year, it shall be unlawful in the
County of Isle of Wight, Virginia for any person
to set fire to, or to procure another to set
fire to, anX brush, leaves, grass, debris or
field containing dry grass or other inflammable
material capable of spreading fire, located in
or within three hundred feet of any woodland,
brush land, or field containing dry grass or
other inflammable material, except between the
hours of 4:00 P. M. and 12:00 midnight.
Any person violating any provisions of
this ordinance shall be guilty of a Class
misdemeanor.
Chairman Bradby asked who enforces this law, to which County
Attorney Crook replied, "Forest Wardens and the Sheriff's
Department" .
5. An Ordinance To Amend The Subdivision
Ordinance To Amend The Definition of
Subdivision Therein
James Robert Cobb, Hardy resident, asked the Board to
postpone its decision and make the citizens aware of ordinance
changes. Mr. Cobb stated, "I don't think the majority of the
property owners in the County realize what changes you ,are
talking about".
County Attorney Crook stated this ordinance to amend the
definition of subdivisions is to make the definition the same as
the State Statute and that is: "Th~~ subdivision means the
division of a parcel of land into threes or more lots of parcels
of less than five acres each for the purpose of the transfer of
ownership compare to the Statute for bu ding development or if a
new street is involved in such division, any division of the
parcel. The term-includes re-subdivision and when appropriate to
the context shall relate to the process of subdividing or to the
land subdivided and solely for the purpose of recognition of any
single division of land into two lots or parcels. A plat of such
division shall be submitted for approval in accordance with
platting requirements of the ordinance". Now, that is the State
definition of subdivisions. You cari have a definition that is
more stringent than that if you wish.. The County°s definition at
this time says to divide anX tract of land into two or more lots
or parcels, any one of which is less than ten acres for the
purpose of transfer of ownership for building development or if a
mew street is involved in such division, a division which-would
BOn~ 1~ 'rAGE~J t
1
create lots or parcels, any one of which is less than twenty
acres. What brought this about is the presentation of plats of
subdivision lots of twenty acres. At this time you are. getting
subdivision plats that have lots of twenty acres and that have
one acre lots taking advantage of the three lots exception and of
course, then lots with road frontage. The Board raised the
question at an earlier meeting of what can we do abut these dirt
road subdivisions and this is what you can do. This ordinance,
if you adopt this definition, -will prevent the subdivision of
land into parcels of twenty. acres with a dirt road. This of
course, is not your three lots exception. That's another
ordinance amendment that you tabled at the last meeting which is
coming up later.
Following discussion, Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board
table action on "An Ordinance To Amend The Subdivision Ordinance
To Amend The Definition Of Subdivision Therein" until July 21,
1988 Board meeting for further study. The vote in favor was
unanimous (5-0~.
5. An Ordinance To Amend The Isle of Wight County
Code Chapter 4, Article III, To Increase Fees
For Inspections
No one appeared in favor or in opposition.
1
County Attorney Crook stated this is not something that is
new. It didn't even just come up under Mr. Standish. The
Building Official has been working on this for-over a year.
County Administrator Standish said it is highly recommended
to bring your fees in line with those throughout the region and
recommended the ordinance go into effect immediately.
Supervisor Turner moved the Board adopt "An Ordinance To
Amend The Isle of Wight County Code Chapter 4, Article III, To
Increase Fees For Inspections". The motion passed by unanimous
(5-O) vote of the Board.
