Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board authorize an advertisement for

Mr. Casket' stated County staff has prepared a Position Statement for
the Board's consideration concerning the Comprehensive Stormwater
Detention Agreement which recommends that VDOT expand its customary
and normal maintenance of .drainage facilities for public roads in the State's
secondary road system to include Stormwater management facilities which
serve these same public roads.
Supervisor Edwards moved the Board adopt the following Position
Statement and communicate such Statement to VDOT, VACO, the County's
legislative delegation and any. other locality having an interest in this issue:
POSITION STATEMENT ON THE MAINTENANCE OF STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT FACILITIES BY THE
VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Board of Supervisors of Isle of Wight County recognizes. the
historic and customary role and responsibility of the .Virginia Department
of Transportation in properly maintaining drainage facilities associated with
2
so~K ~5.~-~58?
public roads included in the State Secondary Road System, particularly
those public roads serving residential subdivisions.
In light of such responsibility, the Board of Supervisors of Isle of
Wight County calls upon the Virginia Department of Transportation to
expand. its customary and normal maintenance of drainage facilities for
public roads. in .the State Secondary Road System to include stormwater
management facilities which serve these .same public roads.
This statement of position is based on the following points:
1. .Isle of Wight County, along with eighty-nine (89)
other communities, are mandated by the State's
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (CBPA) and its
implementing regulations to ensure that residential
subdivisions provide for the proper management of
stormwater runoff for the protection of water
quality. This runoff is generated primarily by
VDOT owned and maintained public roadways as
well as by adjacent building lots and is normally
directed to stormwater detention or .retention
facilities.
2. All new Secondary Road System projects undertaken
by the Virginia Department of Transportation are
required by the State's stormwater Mana e~ment
~SWM? Regulations to construct stormwater
management facilities. The long term maintenance
of these facilities is the responsibility of VDOT.
3. The technical design and maintenance requirements
of stormwater management facilities for the CBPA
and the SWM regulations are to be identical because
of a recent directive by Virginia's Secretary of
Natural Resources.
4. The Virginia Department of Transportation currently
possesses the expertise and the necessary equipment
to properly maintain .stormwater management
facilities.
5, By providing for the long term maintenance of
stormwater management facilities, the Virginia
Department of Transportation would readily ensure
the protection of water quality from .stormwater
runoff is continuous and unimpeded into the
foreseeable future. A beneficial condition which is
intended by the State's Chesapeake Bay Preservation
Act and stormwater Management Regulations.
In conclusion, the .Board of Supervisors of Isle of Wight County
believes .that the communities subject to the unfunded mandate of the
3
9o~r, 15:~.;~583
.:t .
State's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act should be accorded relief to its
impact on scarce local revenues. A minor relief, particularly for rural
localities, could be expeditiously achieved by a slight expansion of the
Virginia Department of Transportation's customary and normal role of
maintaining drainage facilities for public roads so as to include stormwater
management facilities.
The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Chairman Spady .moved the Board direct County staff to send the
Position Statement to every locality that comes. under the jurisdiction of the
Chesapeake Bay Act. The motion was unanimously (5-0) adopted.
Mr. Neblett requested. the .Board forward .their requests for
improvements in the secondary system to him as VDOT will hold a work
session with the Board in March with a public hearing to follow in April.
Mr. Neblett stated there will be apre-allocation hearing in March to
provide the County an opportunity to make its requests for the primary and
urban improvements.
1
Mr. Neblett stated the Stormwater Detention Agreement refers to
roads that are constructed within subdivisions only that the County
requests VDOT take into the secondary road system. In response to an
inquiry by Supervisor Cofer, Mr. Neblett .responded that the pond on
Battery Park Road was built as part of a VDOT improvement and VDOT is
.responsible for the maintenance of it.
Mr. Neblett stated as a result of the Federal Highway Administration's
plan to convert all regulation, publications, data collection and Federal aid
construction contracts to metric measures by 1996, VDOT is beginning to
convert all of their pre-construction activities to the .metric system. Mr.
Neblett stated after June of 2000, all VDOT projects will be advertised in
metric units.
Supervisor Bradshaw requested Mr. Neblett to continue to follow up
with the former Supervisor Joel Bradshaw's road concerns and inquired if
paving the Carrsville Highway was in the Plan..
Mr. Neblett stated that although portions of Route 58 Business are in
the Plan to be repaved, the program is updated each year and he hopes
VDOT will be able to pave at least a couple of sections in the upcoming
year.
Supervisor Cofer requested a status report on the utility pole on Route
661 in Smithfield

Mr. Caskey stated the Board under separate cover received a report
on the proposed Watershed Ordinance for the City of Portsmouth
concerning the regulation of activities within the designated watershed that
flows into the City of Portsmouth's reservoirs located in Suffolk and Isle of
Wight County. Mr. Caskey stated it is staff's contention that the City of
1
i
~_

eu~K 15 ..:P53
Portsmouth proposes to exceed its authority under the amendments to its
City charter because it proposes the implementation of the protection of
Portsmouth reservoirs by prohibiting certain land. uses that are identified
as high risk activities from locating within the watershed, part of which is
in Isle of Wight County .and requires all other land uses ,within the
watershed to utilize stormwater management practices under a permit to
be issued at the discretion of the City of Portsmouth's Director of Utilities.
Supervisor Bradshaw inquired what impact this would have on
current land users, particularly in .regards to farmers.
County.Attorney Crook explained the City of Portsmouth desired to
amend its charter in an effort to control the watershed around Portsmouth's
reservoirs and, as a result of Isle of Wight Count}~s opposition, Portsmouth
deleted the language giving them authority outside of their lands.. Mr.
Crook stressed that the ordinance does not control the entire watershed and
Portsmouth does not own land in Isle. of Wight County. Mr. Crook stated
that while Portsmouth can adopt the proposed ordinance, it has no effect
in .the County of Isle of Wight, and he would suggest that a letter be sent
to the City of Portsmouth reiterating the actions of the General. Assembly
and the limited authority Portsmouth can exercise.

areas such as shoreline erosion, -land use water quality conflicts, physical
constraints to development, protection of potable water, relationship of land
use to marine resources, public and private access to the waterways,
existing pollution sources and potential areas of water quality improvement
that might be obtained through redevelopment activities.. Mr. Garlock
stated CBLAD regulations require that shoreline erosion and public and
private access to the waterways be addressed and the reason they are,not
addressed in this supplement is because HRPDC has a program underway
for all fifteen localities in the region addressing these items. Mr. Garlock
stated CBLAD has indicated that these areas will be considered at the time }

and local government to work with the HRPDC in technical analysis and
educational activities.

concerns voiced at the public hearing when the Norfolk Southern property
was rezoned.
Mr. Caskey stated concerns were expressed at the time of the Norfolk

Wildlife and the Corps of Engineers because of the particulars of the site
and the application pending before the Federal and State ageBoard and
Caskey stated in 1993 Norfolk Southern came before the

conservation areas do meet the State's requirements.

Street Light Policy
County Administrator Standish stated the Board has had various
discussions relative to the installation and maintenance of street lights along
public thoroughfares in .the County which include re-establishing a street
light policy where such lights are installed upon request of residents; an

requesting such facilities share in the cost of both installation and operation,
regardless of the location. County Administrator Standish stated the Board
may wish to consider an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance at the
same time because as new subdivisions arrive and residents request the
installation of street lights .the. cost escalates considerably because the
Subdivision Ordinance requires underground utilities.

have come from residents who live in subdivisions already. equipped with
poles because at the time the homes were built there was no requirement
for underground utilities.
