Agricultural Limited, approximately 20 acres of land located on the

Newport. Magisterial District.
W. Douglas Caskey stated this property, owned by Crown Creek
.Land Trust (D. Mason Anderson, Trustee), as well as the following.
two rezoning applications, represent three separate rezoning..
applications, all of which are part of the rezoning application
which came before the Board of Supervisors on October 1988. Mr.
Caskey stated that at that time by a vote of (3-2), the .Board of
Supervisors approved the rezoning of the Kings Colony Development
subject to proffered conditions submitted by the applicant
developers. Mr. Caskey continued following this action, the Board
on October 20, 1988 initiated an application to rezone the property
back to A-1 Agricultural Limited to give the opportunity for the
Planning Commission to reconsider aspects based on the proffers
submitted subsequent to the original recommendation placed before
the Planning Commission to allow more study of the various impacts
associated with the proposed development. Mr. Caskey advised that
on March 16, 1989, the application initiated by the Board of
Supervisors was considered by the Board with the Board voting (4-
1) to approve the rezoning to A-1 Agricultural Limited and as a
result of this action by the Board of Supervisors, the applicant
developers of the Kings Colony project entered suit to have the
rezoning overturned with the Court offering opinion that the
rezoning was considered null and void based on the Court's decision
that the property was not- properly posted during the rezoning
process. Mr. Caskey .stated that on April 19, 1990, by a vote of
(3-2), the Board of Supervisors initiated the current rezoning
applications with Supervisors Turner and Bradshaw voting in
opposition,
Chairman Bradby called for citizens to speak in favor.
Robert Kennerley stated he wanted to see quality development
appear in Isle of Wight .County which would pay its own way and
which could be done with proper planning..
Pat Clark stated he believed a high density development of
this nature is not consistent with the County's growth management
plan of maintaining and enhancing the quality and character of Isle
of Wight's natural and built environment.
Herman Jones stated this development was not right or good for

the County..
Chairman Bradby called for citizens in opposition.
Jerry Emrich, attorney representing the-.property owners,
stated this was a downzoning case with very clear provisions of law
relating to the considerations given by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Emrich. continued the Virginia Supreme Court made it very clear
property. cannot. be downzoned under the same conditions in which the
Board of Supervisors can refuse to upzone the property. Mr. Emrich
stated the .Virginia Courts made it clear for the protection of all
land owners that a mistake in judgment is not such a mistake as
would entitle the Board of Supervisors to downzone the property.
Mr. Emrich continued that it was his opinion that it would be
illegal for'the Board to downzone the property.
Chairman Bradby called for comments by Board members.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated these developers were the first
developers to come to the County with these proffers and that the
Board. had passed other big projects. Supervisor Bradshaw continued
that the Board had asked the developers to cut back, which they
did, and there was no way he could deny this rezoning and sti?.1 be
.fair.. Supervisor Bradshaw stated he did not see how the County
could turn one-down, but pass another.
Supervisor Edwards stated he did not think this project was
like other projects and that the Board of Supervisors relied on
assertions made by A. L. Jones, attorney for the developers at the
initial rezoning hearing. Supervisor Edwards continued that when
the Board first voted on the rezoning. the Board did not have the
information it now has regarding the. proffers, which have been
determined. unenforceable by the- Attorney General, and -the
environmental impact the project. would have on endangered species
and the shell fish beds. Supervisor Edwards stated the most
important statements made which the Board first relied on was that
the project would pay for itself, which. the Board now knows will
not pay for itself after the first ten years at best. Supervisor
Edwards stated that the Board was also told that the project would
bring commercial development to the area and that running sewer
lines down Route 17 will do very little in terms of the County's
commercial development. Supervisor Edwards stated that in view of
new information learned by the Board, that the appropriate thing
for the .Board to do is to return the project to its original
zoning.
Supervisor Turner stated that he hopes Mr. Keusal does not sue
the County because, if he won, it would cost the County a lot of
money, but that it is a chance the Board will take based on -the
fact that the Board believes it is right.
Supervisor Edwards moved the Board change the zoning
classification for property owned by Crown Creek Land Trust to
A-1. The motion passed with Supervisors Edwards, Ross and Bradby
voting in favor (3-2) and Supervisors Bradshaw and Turner voting
in opposition to the motion.
County Attorney Crook advised the Board that all three
rezonings could have been read together and if the Board did not
consider them all together, then the Board could now consider #`2
and ,~3 together.
Supervisor Turner moved that #`2 and #3 on the agenda be
considered together at one time.. The vote in favor was unanimous
(5-~)•
2. Change in zoning classification for property owned by i
Daniel M. Keusal from Conditional R-3, Conditional Townhouse
Residence District to A-1, Agricultural Limited, approximately 70
acres of land located on the east side of Route 665, between Route I

for Isle of Wight County.
County Administrator Standish reported that it was properly
advertised and recommended the Board have the public hearing and

Chairman Bradby .called for a public hearing on the Ordinance
to Amend Vicious or Destructive Dogs Running at Large Ordinance.
County Attorney Crook advised that the Board was considering
amending the leash. law and a committee was formed of persons in
favor of the leash law versus those citizens opposed to the leash
law. County Attorney Crook further.advised that this committee had
met an3 decided that the proposed ordinance concerning vicious or
destructive dogs was adequate with the grade of the offense being.
changed from Class 3 to Class 4 misdemeanor and a definition of
destructive dogs being added.
Supervisor Edwards clarified that one of .the major concerns
r
..
~~~~K 14.~.;~-E4~.

was that in certain neighborhoods dogs were tearing up personal
property or real estate and the Animal Control Officer did not feel
that under the current ordinance she could pick these dogs up.
Supervisor Edwards continued that this ordinance allows the Animal
Control person to pick these dogs up, impound the dogs, and the
owner be fined.. Supervisor Edwards stated the only thing not
accomplished with the proposed ordinance was escalating penalties
for second and third offenses because. the County Attorney advised
that the General Assembly does not provide for this in the enabling
legislation.
L. S. Sullivan wanted to know who determines if an animal is
destructive or vicious.
County Attorney Crook stated the Animal Control Officer would
have to make this determination on the spot. County. Attorney Crook
stated the Board of Supervisors elected in view of citizen comment
to have leash laws apply only to zoned residential areas._
Francis Onion stated he lived in Carrollton in a residential
zoned area and wanted to know why the County could not have a full
leash law for the County to protect everyone.
Supervisor Turner stated he thought this proposed ordinance
was a step in the right direction which would allow the Animal
Control Officer the right to pick up .destructive or vicious
animals.
David Joyner of Windsor stated he was one of the committee
members and that it was decided as a majority body that f an
action was taken for. vicious or destructive dogs this would
eliminate the Animal Control Officer from having to be a zoning
officer.
Supervisor Turner moved .the Board approve the following
ordinance:

vote (5-0).
County Administrator Standish stated the Board had previously
entered into an agreement with the Durrant Group for a regional
jail and recommended to the Board that the Board favorably consider
an amendment to the existing contract which would significantly
reduce the scope of the existing agreement relative to the
anticipated expansion of the Clerk's Office, a public safety/911
Communications Center, and revisions and/or expansion of the
Sheriff's offices. County Administrator Standish stated that if
the Board amended the existing. agreement, .the Board would not have
to retain another architect to do the work and the Board would
eliminate approximately $8,000 of a termination fee with the
Durrant Group.
Supervisor Turner stated he .thought the Durrant Group's
expertise was in jails and he was not sure using the Durrant Group
for the above improvements is what the County really needs.
County Administrator Standish stated the Durrant Group is
recommended to the Board because of their experience and
accomplishment in the renovation of historic structures, including
public. buildings.
County Attorney Crook stated the improvements could be done
cheaper, but then you have a different architect and a different
scheme for each building. He stated that the Durrant Group could
provide one cohesive well-planned scheme for the Courthouse
expansion.
County Administrator Standish stated he also recommended the
Durrant Group do a master plan for future expansion done at the
Courthouse complex.
Supervisor Turner stated that he agreed with a comprehensive
plan of the total complex in order that present mistakes could be
corrected and not duplicated in the future. Supervisor Turner
stated he thought a fee of 9$ was too high and that other projects
the County has had done were much lower than 9$.
Supervisor Ross suggested that the Board close out the
existing contract with the Durrant Group, pass on the cost to the
regional jail, and renegotiate with the Durrant Group for a lower
fee.
Supervisor Ross moved the .Board direct the County
Administrator to pay the remaining money due to the Durrant Group
and pass the cost on to the regional jail, then negotiate with the
Durrant Group for a lower fee. The motion passed by unanimous vote
(5-0).
Supervisor Turner moved the Board approve the following

had .any knowledge of what cuts to .expect from the State on aid to
localities.
County Administrator Standish stated he had spoke. with the
Acting Executive Director of the Virginia Association of Counties
and no one knows at this point, .not even the State.
Supervisor Edwards asked if any percentage reductions are
being talked about.
County- Administrator Standish stated he could give two
examples of what occurred in the past. One was that reductions
were held to the final quarter and represented a 2$ reduction of
State funds, and another was that there would. be very few
reductions throughout the current fiscal year, but the following
fiscal year may bring significant reductions. County Administrator
Standish continued .that at .the moment, he had not gotten a good i
reading, but generally speaking, the State sees a $100,000,000 to
$150,000,000 shortfall in past year revenues.
Supervisor Edwards moved that until the State advises as to
what, if any, cuts will be made in local funding, that the Board
