The Chairman called for citizens comments.
1
Andrew Casey, Carrisbrooke resident and member of the
Planning Commission, expressed disappointment in the approval of
the Kings Colony project, especially since the Planning
Commission had recommended denial of the application. Mr. Casey
stated the Kings Colony proposal will have serious adverse
affects on the County, causing increased taxes, increased trash
disposal, wetlands problems, ovezcrowding of school system,
increased traffic, increased fire, police and rescue services and
the possibility of forced residents relocation on Route 665, the
potential for not being able to enforce the proffers offered by
the developers, the fact this development will serve as a magnet
to draw other such developments to the County. Mr. Casey also
stated there is a serious breakdown in communication between the
Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission. Mr. Casey
presented two sets of recommendations. First, specifically Kings
Colony: (1) we ask you to reconsider your previous vote on Rings
Colony proposal pending completion of further studies, (2)
request that an environmental impact of the proposal be conducted
bx an independent agency, to include a detail description of how
Kings Colony will comply all present and pending legislation
concerning the wetlands, creeks, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
These studies. should now be mandatory for all .proposed
developments in this County, (3) requests that. the
Commonwealth's Attorney General issue an opinion concern the
legality of and enforceability of the proffers made by the
developers, (4) requests that Virginia Department of
Transportation conduct a detailed study of the impact Rings
Colony will have on Route 665 and adjacent roadways and on the
possibility of having to relocate present residents from their
homes along that road. This study should also address both
tangible and intangible effects on those that will be displaced,
(5) requests that any proposal to construct anew road leading
directly from Route 17 to Kings Colony contain a detailed
environmental impact statement prepared by an independent agency,
(6) requests that the School Board, Sheriff's Department and Isle
of Wight Rescue Squads submit detailed impact statements, (7)
conduct a public hearing on the Kings Colony proposal after all
of the above impact studies have been completed and submit a
detailed analysis to the County residents at that time. Lastly,
all of the above studies should be paid for by the developers and
not by the taxpayers. Mr. Casey presented his second set of
recommendations concerning planning in general as follows: (1)
request that a detailed study of all of the developments which
have been passed in the past three years be looked at and their
combined impact be presented to the residents, we should
periodicallX update and publish this big picture so that the
average citizen will be able to understand the true scope and the
impact of these developments, (2) you, as Supervisors, must
decide where your developmental priorities lie; in my opinion we
should encourage economic development and discourage residential
development. It appears that the Route 460 Windsor area is
eooK 14 ~~~~220
highly suitable for economic growth because of the road and rail
network, however, unless you can .provide sewer and water
businesses will be reluctant to locate there, (3) residential
growth can be discouraged by adopting stricter rules for
developers. All studies, such as those mentioned above, should
be completed by independent agencies chosen by the County and
paid for by the developers, with results of those studies being
considered by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors
before approving or denying any new residential proposals, (4)
Supervisors and Planning Commission need to meet at least on a
quarterly basis for frank, open discussions about the direction
the County is heading in. In the past five years we have had
several joint meetings; however, in my opinion we have never had
a productive joint meeting. Now is the time to change that. The
County staff should present at and participate in those joint
meetings and perhaps the County Administrator should periodically
attend Planning Commission meetings so that he could get the
pulse of what is going on at those meetings.
Robert Kenerly, resident at 2 Riverpoint Trail in
Carrollton, spoke in opposition, expressing concern relative to
the Lower James River report and HRSD sewer .lines. Mr. Kenerly
asked the Board to contact Patty Jackson, with the Lower James
River Association, regarding their study and the affect of the
proposed subdivision on same. Mr. Kenerly also stated that a
meeting of this magnitude should be conducted at night rather
during the afternoon when working people are unable to attend.
In addition, Mr. Kenerly questioned a conflict of interest for
Board members, especially the Turners, Richard L. Turner, William
R. Turner, Henry Morgan and Mr. Moore, stating he feels good
judgement should have ruled and this property ownership
disclosed. Mr. Kenerly asked the Board to reconsider their vote
and restudy the Kings Colony proposal.
Martha B. Moore, President of the Booker T. Estates
Subdivision Civic League in Newport District, asked the Board's
assistance in having street lights installed for their
protection.
Brenda Lee, representing the Willing Workers Committee in
Carrollton, expressed concerns regarding water and sewer.
Lawrence Pitt, President of the Isle of Wight/Smithfield
Chamber of Commerce, expressed concerns regarding the proffers to
pursue the HRSD sewer and water lines into the County along Route
17. Mr Pitt continued stating that the Chamber of Commerce
supports and encourages growth in and around the Towns of Windsor
and Smithfield and endorses support of the water and sewer in the
Town of Windsor. Mr. Pitt strongl}~ urged the Board to reconsider
their vote and return the application to the Planning Commission
in order that they may have the opportunity to review the
information the Board members had considered.
Robert Clontz, County resident and artist, appeared in
opposition, saying, "I was dismayed when the application was
approved". He expressed concern relative to high density and
increased .taxes. Mr. Clontz asked the Board to please reconsider
their previous decision because the County does not need this
type of development anywhere in the County.
Donald Gregory, Rescue resident, spoke in favor the
application stating he feels the Board of Supervisors acted in
the best interest of the County.
Randolph Barlow, County resident, expressed concerns
relative to the requirements of the development, availability of
an adequate number of volunteer firemen and rescue squad persons
and police to serve the new development. Mr. Barlow continued
stating that he is a businessman in the County and has talked
with numbers of residents and has not found anyone in favor of
the Kings Colony project. Mr. Barlow also stated that County
residents are happy with the County and the progress that is
being made and asked the Board to reconsider their previous
decision.
Edna Gowan, recent property owner, on Route 667, appeared in
favor of the application.
L''
[1
Pearl Whitehead, Windsor resident, asked the Board's
assistance in obtaining a Yadar system to help control traffic
speeding in the Town of Windsor.. Supervisor Bradshaw suggested
so~K 14 r~~~221
the County Administrator and Sheriff work together on this
project. County Administrator Standish informed the Board that
work is already in progress.

Mark Jones, resident cn Route 665, appeared in opposition to
the Kings Colony project stating he had moved from the Peninsula
to escape what the Peninsula has become. He asked the Board to
reconsider their previous decision.
Herman Jones, resident on Route 665, appeared in opposition
to the Kings Colony project. Mr. Jones asked the Board to stop
fiddling around and trying to tear up the community while there
is still time.
David Smith, a resident at 712 Vellines Lane, appeared in
opposition to the Kings Colony project and asked the Board to
please reconsider their earlier decision.
Chairman Bradby called upon County Attorney Crook to explain
to the Board and to the public what alternatives the Board had in
this situation. County Attorney Crook explained that the
rezoning constitutes an amendment to the zoning district map
which is a part of the zoning ordinance. Therefore, the Board
could not reconsider the previous motion nor rescind the action
at this meeting. The action of the t3oard at the prior meeting
rezoning the properties in question was final. In order for the
Board to consider rezoning the properties in question to A-1 the
Board could initiate an ordinance amendment. This would have to
be advertised for public hearing before the Planning Commission
and subsequently for another public hearing before the Board like
any other ordinance amendment.
1
Following discussion, Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board
initiate an amendment to the zoning ordinance to rezone Crown
Creek Land Trust/Rae Parker, Jr./Daniel Kuesal properties to A-l,
those properties described in items 5 and 6 of the agenda of the
Board of Supervisors meeting of October 6, 1988, to be advertised
for a public hearing for the Planning Commission for study and
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Bradshaw also moved that the Board recess for ten
minutes prior to taking action on the above motion. The motion
for a ten minutes recess passed by unanimous (5-0) vote of the
Board. The Board recessed at 8:21 P.M. and returned to open
session at 8:34 P.M.
//
Upon returning to open session the Board voted unanimously
(5-0) to approve the Board's initiating an amendment to the
zoning ordinance to rezone Crown Creek Land Trust/Rae Parker,
Jr/Daniel Keusal properties to A-1, those properties described in
items 5 and 6 of the agenda of the Board of Supervisors meeting
of October 6, 1988, to be advertised for public hearing for the
Planning Commission for study and recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors.
Hazel Delk, a County resident on Route 626, expressed
concern relative to the naming of streets/roads and asked the
Board to have the road from Smithfield Town limits going to
Sycamore Crossing named Mill Swamp Road rather than the proposed
names of Moonlight Road (short road at the intersection of Route
621 with only five families on the road) and New Road. Mrs. Delk
submitted a petition of thirty-eight residents on the road who
requested the name be changed to Mill Swamp Road.
LJ
Mildred Ramsey, County resident, asked if she should speak
on development in the County if she had expressed her views at
the Planning Commission meeting, to which Chairman Bradby
replied, "Not at this time".
//
Assistant County Administrator/Communit~- Development, W.
Douglas Caskey, presented the following conditional use permit
application for the Board's consideration:
The application of Smithfield Associates for a
conditional use permit to locate a detached business sign
ten (10) feet from the street right-of-way of Route 10, on
the west side of Route 10, between Route 644 and the Route
eoaK 14 ?ac~2~~
l0 bypass, in Newport Magisterial District.
Mr. Caskey stated the applicant is seeking a conditional use
permit that would allow an on premises detached business sign to
be located closer to the street right-of-way than 35 feet, which
is the minimum required in the B-1 zoning district. Mr. Caskey
continued stating that the applicant is requesting the permit to
allow an existing pylon sign, 22 feet, 6 inches in height and
approximately 100 feet in area, to remain in its present
non-conforming location, in feet from the street right-of-way of
Route 10. The zoning permit, Yssued on October 21, 1987,
specifies a required front setback of 35 feet. However, the
Smithfield Plaza sign was located in violation of this setback
requirement, said Mr. Caskey. The Planning Commission expressed
the opinion that the problem was caused by miscommunication
between the property owner/developer and the sign company and
voted unanimously to recommend denial of the application, stated
Mr. Caskey. '

(5-0) to deny the application of Smithfield Associates for a
conditional use permit to locate a detached business sign ten
