Transportation, stated the rebuilding. of a section of South Church Street
between Battery Park Road and Smithfield Boulevard is currently underway
and VDOT plans to begin construction to eliminate two sharp curves on
Route 600, Oliver Drive.
Mr. Neblett stated regarding the need for acceleration/deceleration
lanes on Route 17 and Route 32/258, VDOT's recommendation would be
a right-turn lane on Route 661 (Cedar Grove Road), aright-turn lane at the
intersection of Route 662 and Route 17 (intersection nearest the James River
Bridge), and aright-turn lane at Route 661 and Route. l7 (Sugar Hill Road).
Mr. Neblett continued VDOT does have safety funds which could be used

to build one or two of these right-turn lanes. Mr. Neblett continued
because of the plans for the new Carrollton Elementary School, Route 711
would require some widening work and VDOT is now in the process of
working with the County and consultant on what these improvements will
• entail, as well as to include .right-turn lanes and improvements of the
existing left turn lane at the crossover..
Mr. Neblett advised the Board that VDOT has received approval to
..place atwenty-five foot pole to secure a security light at the commuter
parking lot in Carrollton off of Route 669 which should be accomplished
within the next thirty days.
Supervisor Spady asked if VDOT has given any consideration to the
old highway. shed which might be a good location because of its high
visibility.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT is incurring a problem with the location of
the entrance because it does not allow drivers coming out of the entrance
to go left on Route 17. Mr. Neblett further stated it is VDOT's feeling that
the existing site is better because when you approach Route 17 at the stop
light you can proceed either left or right.
Mr. Neblett advised the Board VDOT is now in the process of
developing plans. on the Route 704 Jones .Creek Bridge in anticipation of
holding a public hearing, but the project has been delayed pending a Phase
II Structure Study that the Department of Historic Resources has requested.
Mr. Neblett further stated VDOT has estimated the Study .will cost
approximately $10,000 and generally requires a historic architect be hired
to perform the Study.
. Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Neblett if he has a copy of a similar
study which was performed.
John Thomas McCambridge, Jr., .Suffolk District Environmental
Manager with VDOT, stated he has a similar type study which will give the
Board an idea of what criteria needs to be met. Mr. McCambridge further
stated the Study entails that a history for the type of transportation need be
developed for the County and it must be shown that the bridge is not
eligible for the National Register. Mr. McCambridge continued there are
four criteria which need to be shown and the study. would probably take
:between sixty and ninety days to perform.
Supervisor Spady requested VDOT staff to have representatives of the
Department of Historic Resources. to visit the site and further discuss .the
matter.
Mr. Neblett replied he would contact representatives of the.
Department of Historic Resources. •

results of the speed study in Central Hill.
Mr. Neblett replied he should have a report on the matter within the
next week
Supervisor Spady asked Mr. Neblett if he would be putting the new
VDOT assistant. on the Laurelwood and Ragged Island Refuge area.

the bypass road and requested VDOT to repair it.

had VDOT contacted. and who had VDOT not been able to contact.
Mr. Neblett stated VDOT has contacted the Joyners, but there remains
one Individual that VDOT has not been able to contact yet. Mr. Neblett
continued VDOT would. continue trying to contact the person, but the
majority of the individuals were willing to donate the ,necessary right of
way.
Chairman Bradby requested VDOT to reconsider mowing along the
median strip at the Smithfield Plaza Shopping Center.

current standards although he has been discussing the matter with the
District Engineer who has advised that he should continue mowing to the
current VDOT standards..

Chairman Bradby called for the Community Development report.
W. Douglas Caskey, Assistant County Administrator/Community .
Development, presented the following requests .for the Board's
consideration:
A. Request to amend Lot #1 of the recorded
subdivision .plat of "Waterford" in Newport
Magisterial District
B. Request to amend the "Amended Declaration of
Restrictions and Covenants for Waterford" in
Newport Magisterial District
Mr. Caskey stated the request is to have a no egress, no ingress
easement statement on the recorded plat removed and the original
subdivision plat was approved in August of 1990 by the Board and
subsequently recorded. Mr. Caskey further stated the subdivision plat
delineates aten-foot strip of land that would restrict egress and ingress
from the property directly onto Route 10. Mr. Caskey stated Southern Oil
. Company, the current owner of the property, proposes to construct a
convenience store involving retail sales and the retail sale of gasoline and
has an interest in the ability to have direct access on Route 10. Mr. Caskey
continued the matter was heard by the Planning Commission at their most.
recent meeting and in order for this to be resolved this notation would have
to-be approved by the Board to be removed from .the recorded subdivision
plat. Mr. Caskey stated after discussion and consideration by the Planning
Commission relative to issues pertaining to traffic safety, accessibility and
the fact at the time this property was conditionally rezoned .there were
.discussions by the then developer that there would be restricted access
along the entire subdivision, the Planning Commission voted 6-2 to
recommend denial of the request to the Board.
Mr. Caskey stated there is a second request by the applicant and
current property owner to amend the amended declaration of restrictions
and covenants for this subdivision for this same piece of property. Mr.
Caskey further stated at the time this property was conditionally rezoned
in July of 1989, one of the proffered conditions that was proffered by the
developer was that this. Board would have approval authority over the
declaration of restriction and covenants which were approved by the Board
in July of 1989 with a subsequent amendment approved by the Board in
July of 1990. Mr. Caskey continued Southern Oil Company has proposed
several amendments to the amended declaration of restrictions which .
pertain to their use of the property, in particular amended language for
...Articles 5, 6, 7 and 9. Mr. Caskey stated in reviewing this request, the
Planning Commission determined that these were not unreasonable requests
by the current property owner and that two of these amendments would
bring the property. closer into rnmpliance wi h the County's zoning-
ordinance interms of setbacks and use of the property. IVir. Caskey further
stated the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this
i
eoeK 14 ~~.-37? ~'
request to the Board.
William Riddick, representing Southern .Oil Company, .stated the
greatest concern of the Planning Commission was the safety factor and .
before his client purchased the property they contacted VDOT to request if
it would be permissible to have two fifty-foot entrances on Route 10. Mr.
Riddick further stated an application was then made to VDOT who
approved these entrances and his client subsequently purchased the
property only to find that the easement prohibits access to Route 10 without
the approval of the Board. Mr. Riddick continued he had previously
requested Mr. Neblett to bring a VDOT Highway Engineer, but because he
was detained in a conference earlier this morning and believed. he would
be unable to attend today's meeting, he then contacted Mr. Neblett to
advise him not to bring the engineer. Mr. Riddick stated he believes it is
essential that the Board hear what is being proposed at this location is a
safe proposal and that the access to the property would not be any more
dangerous thak the situation that is already approved on the other side of
the street, and, in fact a stop light is located at the proposed location that
would slew the rate of traffic. Mr. Riddick further stated the only way to
gain access to the proposed property is to turn off of Route 10 an pprpcery
to Canterberry Lane and make a u-turn and come back in to the ro er
Mr. Riddick continued there is no access on Route 10 and VDOT has
required that the median strip be extended which has already been
constructed. Mr. Riddick stated the property was approved as a business
location and in order for it to be successful for a business, there needs to be
an access to the property from Route 10.
Supervisor Spady moved that the matter be referred back to the
Planning Commission oncernin f the safetybissu sn Ther motion passed
they talk to VDOT c g
unanimously (5-0).
Supervisor Cofer stated the County needed to review. corner lots on
these various intersections which are reserved for high visibility service-type
businesses.
Supervisor Bradshaw asked Mr. Casket' If anything could be done in
the future to avoid this same situation from reoccurring.
Mr. Casket' stated when the developer came through with the
conditional rezoning there ~" that there should not be ac ess directly onto .
Resident Engineer to the effect .
Route 10. Mr. Casket' further stated the concerns of the Planning
Commission are not restricted to traffic safety. issues and that the applicants
were fully aware from the beginning there would be restrictive access onto
Route 10 and the Planning Commission also had concerns. about swaying
from this position. Mr. Casket' continued the Planning Commission has .
been working for the past several months on a draft ordinance for a
highway corridor overlay district.
Supervisor Spady stated something needs to be done because the
situation has changed. and the developer at the time was seeing an office-
1~
n
type atmosphere but VDOT has decided that they want the median
extended and the County has decided that itdoes not want an entrance off
of Route 10. .

stated the recent heavy rains has caused ceiling and roof damage to the
museum. Mr. Nogiec advised the roof has been temporarily repaired. and
the .ceiling has been secured to eliminate any further damage from
occurring. Mr. Nogiec continued he has spoken with several contractors
but due to the age of the roof, there may be some presence of asbestos and
the roof will have to be tested and a certificate supplied to the Building
Official before proceeding with a permit to remove the existing roof. Mr.
Nogiec stated there are two alternatives of which one is to repair the
damage and .the second is to cut. the old plaster and replace it with 5/8 '
.drywall which will cost approximately $28,391. Mr. Nogiec further stated
if asbestos is involved, the cost will increase and he has notified the
insurance company who did not have a clarification as to just what
responsibility they will accept as far as making any repairs although some
of the cost will be absorbed by them.

Chairman Bradby called for persons to -speak in favor of or In
opposition to the ordinance.
James E. Joyner of Walters appeared in opposition. Mr. Joyner stated
the amount of money the County would collect for proration would balance
itself out because the County would pickup revenue in some areas and lose
revenues in other. Mr. Joyner further stated regarding the next public
hearing on semi-annual payment of personal property tax, adoption. of this
ordinance would present a hardship for farmers because their, income is
generated at the end of the year.

Supervisor Bradshaw stated he was against adoption of the ordinance
and he would like to see the County keep its current form of taxation on
personal property.

P
individuals because taxes would only be owed to the County for the period
of time the vehicle was owned by the individual. Supervisor Spady further

is required to pay taxes for it .for an entire year, whether it is owned the
entire year or not. Supervisor Spady continued Less .what It costs the '
County to collect it, the Board hopes to reduce the personal property tax up
to a certain amount so the citizens will not have to pay as much in the long
run.

the Board can. reduce the personal property tax rate..
