Chairman Bradby called for a public hearing on the following:
FY1992-97 Capital Improvements Plan
Robert Paul Leber, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Program
Subcommittee and member of the Isle of Wight County Planning
Commission, presented the FY1992~-97 Capital Improvements Plan and
provided the Board with background information used by both the
Subcommittee and the Planning Commission during the development and
evaluation of the proposed Program which he stated was prepared in
accordance with State law and the County's Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Leber stated the Program shall include the Planning Commission's
recommendations and the estimates of costs of such facilities, as well as, the
means of financing them. Mr. Leber further stated in the preparations of
the recommendations, the Chief Administrative Officer, all other department
heads, interested citizens and organizations shall be consulted as deemed
necessary and the County's Comprehensive. Plan requires the Capital
Improvements Program to be structured to support the goals and objectives
of the Plan. Mr. Leber continued the Planning Commission considered the
following objectives while developing the program: (1) to build the
facilities required to support the Count}~s public service responsibility such
as schools, sewers, water, law enforcement, fire protection, libraries,
economic development and recreation, (2) to .support the Comprehensive
Plan's physical development objectives of growth management and
preservation of the County's rural character, (3) to ensure the availability of
sufficient developable land to accommodate .and attract private
development consistent with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, (4)
to improve financial planning by comparing needs with available resources,
estimating future bond issues and debt service and identifying .tax rate

implications, (5) to establish priorities among projects so that scarce
resources are effectively used, (6) to plan public~facility construction so as
to coordinate the timing and functional relationships, (7) to provide a
concise central source of information on all planned public construction and
acquisitions for interested citizens, agencies and other interested. groups,
and (8) to allow the County to use its full zoning authority upon the
adoption of the Capital Improvements Plan. Mr. Leber stated all of these
objectives are important for maintaining the quality of .life the
Comprehensive Plan envisions for the County, particularly the County's
ability to use its full zoning authority because Section 15.1-491-Z-1 of the
Code of Virginia states no proffers shall be accepted by a county unless it
has adopted a Capital Improvements Program .pursuant to Section 15-1=464.
Mr. Leber further stated there are five major components of the Program:.
$32.7 million for public schools or 66% of the total Program; $10.5 million
for Public Utilities or 21% of the total dollars; $Z.1 million for the
development of the industrial park near Windsor and $1.3 million for. the
new Health Department ..facilities which the Planning Commission
recommends be financed through a combination of general obligation and
revenue bonds. Mr. Leber continued the remaining 6% of the Flanned
expenditures amounts to $640,000 in .annual expenditures for the .smaller
projects that reflect the County's historical capital program and consist of
items such as law enforcement, fire and rescue vehicles and recreational
equipment, which would be funded with annual revenues.
Chairman Bradby called for persons to speak in favor of or in
opposition to the proposed Plan.
Pete Green from Zuni urged the Board to examine alternative methods
of taxation such as the consolidation of fire and rescue facilities. in the same
building, a meal tax on prepared foods, a cigarette tax, an increase in the
Machinery & Tools tax, an increase on the tax on mobile homes and a
review of the land use tax. Mr. Green suggested limiting the increase in
real estate taxes to 30% rather .than 60% to cover the cost of these projects.
Chairman Bradby called. for comments from the Board.
Supervisor Cofer thanked the Planning Commission for their many
hours spent on the proposed Capital Improvements Plan and stated the
County has needed this Plan for many years.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the County is in need of such a Plan and
inquired if commercial and industrial growth in the County was taken into
consideration.
1
Mr. Leber stated the Planning Commission reviewed the projections
in the Comprehensive Plan, but as a guide for bringing in public utilities,
there are six projects in the Plan for consideration by the Board. Mr. Leber
further stated there is both water and sewer in the industrial area in Camps
Mill as well as updating the existing water system in the Carrsville area and
the fourth project funds the construction of a well system and water,
particularly to the industrial park in the Windsor area, which is ,concurrent
with the bringing of sewer line down Route 460. Mr. Leber continued the
a~~~ 15 .~ ~ 140
fifth and six projects are for the Benn's Church and. Bartlett areas which
brings water into these areas.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated the .Plan is based on the population the
County currently has and the expenditures the County will. have relative to
water and sewage. Supervisor Bradshaw stressed the Board will need to
bring commercial and industr~.al development into the County to keep the
tax rate as low as possible. Supervisor Bradshaw continued because of this,
the County will need an Economic Development Department to bring
businesses into the County.
Supervisor Edwards stated he believes the proposed Plan does have
merit because the County only has two options in terms of taxation,
residences or businesses.
Supervisor Spady stated he sees no way the County can follow the
proposed Plan unless the County does get new industry.
Chairman Bradby stated he would keep in mind that it is the taxpayer
that will initially pay the. bill and that this proposed Plan is simply a guide.
Supervisor Cofer moved the Board adopt the following resolution:

Wanda Byrd and Pat Gleason requested the status of their earlier
request. to the .Board concerning the installation. of street lights for the
residents of Hunt Club Road.
1
Supervisor Spady stated the Board would need additional information
before they could consider providing additional. street lights because the
County must review information and consider guidelines.
Supervisor Bradshaw urged Ms. Byrd to be patient until the Board
could determine the guidelines because once these are established, other
citizens will be approaching the Board with similar requests.

the matter.
Supervisor Cofer suggested the matter. be tabled until the February 4,
1993 meeting to establish guidelines for installation of street lights.

effort and urged the Board to continue to improve the water and sewer
systems in the County, as well as pursue the State Certification Program for
industrial sites.

Chairman Bradby called for the Community Development report.
W. Douglas Caskey, Assistant County Administrator/Community
Development, presented the following application far the Board's
consideration:
A. Application of Hannah G. Holland, owner, and
Insight Communications Company, L. P., lessee, for
a Conditional Use Permit to locate a guyed tower
one hundred forty (140) feet in height with one (1)
parabolic microwave receiving antenna on the tower
and one (1) receiver at the base, on one. (1) acre of
land being part of a tract containing ninety-nine (99)
acres which is located on the north side of Walters
Highway (Route 258) east of its intersection with
Knoxville Road (Route- 609) in Windsor Magisterial
District.
Mr. Caskey stated during the public hearing held by the Planning
Commission, one citizen did speak in opposition stating his concern about
the potential for hazardous interference -with aerial agricultural spraying
operations and other potential low-flying aircraft, the potential interference
with non-cable television reception in the immediate area, the unsightliness
of the tower given the number of other towers in the area, the potential
glare from the warning lights on the tower and the genexal ill-effect it
would have on the lifestyles of property owners in the area. Mr. Caskey
BONN 15.~:~.1._4?
further stated'the Planning Commission discussed the issues including the
possibility of co-locating the antenna and associated equipment on an
.existing tower at some. other location, the need for warning lights beyond
the Federal Aviation Administration`s applicable regulations for such
lighting, the needs of existing cable customers for enhanced cable services
and the aesthetic affects of the .tower on the surrounding area.. Mr. Caskey
continued the applicants notEd that the Federal. Aviation Administration
had advised that warning lights would not be required on the structure and
advised there was other discussion by the Planning Commission relative to
that issue. Mr. Caskey stated the Planning Commission voted (7-1) to
recommend to the Board approval of the application.
Sharon Corey Winnegar, Manager for Insight Cablevision, stressed the
antenna receiver site that services the County residents is located in
Southampton County and that ideally no cascade should exceed thirty
amplifiers, but is presently amplified fifty nine times to the Windsor area.
Ms. Winnegar further stated this results in poor picture quality and
unreliable pictures and this receiver site, if approved, will keep the longest
cascade in the Windsor area less than thirteen amplifiers. Ms. Winnegar
continued the proposed site is two hundred feet from the main road and is
located in an area with trees surrounding it. Ms. Winnegar stated regarding
the crop dusting issue, the field presently has power lines through the
middle of the field which are more of a hazard. to crop dusting aircraft than
the proposed tower.
Chairman Bradby inquired about the status of installing Cablevision
lines for the Mill Swamp Road area.
Ms. Winnegar stated a line would have to be built from the Smithfield
area, and Insight Cablevision is presently looking into the matter.
Supervisor Edwards moved the Board approve the application.. The
motion passed unanimously. (5-0).
Mr. Caskey presented the following for the Board's consideration.
B. Subdivision plat of Waterford Oaks, Section One-A,
Sherwood Lane, in Newport Magisterial District.
Mr. Caskey stated the subdivision plat represents an additional four
(4) lots in the residential portion of .the Waterford Oaks development which
front on public streets that have been constructed and accepted into the
Virginia Department of Transportation's Secondary System. Mr. Caskey
further stated water and sewer connections have been provided and the
Virginia Department of Transportation has approved the plat, although the
Town of Smithfield must verify to the County that sanitary sewer can be
provided to these individual lots as a condition. Mr. Caskey continued the
Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
proposed plat to the Board.
