that it be faxed to the Chairman of the Coalition:
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ISLE OF WIGHT
COUNTY, VIRGINIA ON THE
DIRECTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
VIRGINIA COALITION OF HIGH GROWTH COMMUNITIES
WHEREAS, Isle of Wight County has experienced increasing rates of
growth over the past two decades, reaching 1.8% during the 1990's; and,
WHEREAS, this growth has adversely affected the ability of the
County to provide those services expected by both .existing and new
residents, including the need. for sewer and water, additional schools, and
increased. County support for Fire and Rescue services; and,
WHEREAS, the County has implemented a variety of tools available
under the Code of Virginia to manage growth, and will continue to expand
and refine those tools, as necessary; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors, through their
representative Robert C. Claud, Sr.; has participated in the Virginia
Coalition of High Growth Communities since its organization in January.
1998..
4
Ba~M 18 ~~.~574
-NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of.Supervisors
that the Coalition is encouraged to establish a mission statement as an
organization that can clearly guide the activities and. agenda of the Coalition.
It is suggested that this mission statement be directly related to the capacity,
tools:. and funding sources available to local jurisdictions to achieve balanced
and sustainable growth.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that .the. Board of Supervisors
encourages the Coalition to work with the real estate and development
community, and other key stakeholders, in developing a consensus, with.
particular attention to the following three areas:
• Unfunded Mandates - Maintaining the local capacity to
.undertake .long range planning is something many jurisdictions
find difticult due, in part, to unfunded mandates (such as
Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, Storm Water Management
requirements, etc.}. Establishing. and protecting that capacity is
critical if the tools already available are to be utilized.
• Erosion of .Local Discretion -Maintaining the tools local..
jurisdictions. have and advocating maximum local flexibility
over local planning and zoning documents and ordinances
should be a primary objective. Despite "Dillon's Rule", a great
deal of latitude is available to Virginia localities under existing
statutes. However, the constant revision of those statutes is
eroding that local discretion (i.e. revision for manufactured
homes, right to farm, vested rights, prohibition on special use
permits for residential uses, etc.).
• Growth Related Revenues -Supporting and advocating the
creation of local sources of revenues directly related to new
growth and development sufficient to meet the. capital needs
should be a high priority. New capital needs associated with
growth should .not be borne by existing taxpayers. New
developmec~t should contribute its "fair share".
This .resolution. is to be presented to the Virginia Coalition of High
Growth Communities at their meeting on August 26, 1999.
The motion was adopted with Supervisors Cofer, Bradby, Spady,
Bradshaw and Claud voting in favor of the motion (S-0) and no Supervisors

Alexander Decker.
County Administrator Caskey distributed a report indicating that the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has endorsed the package of
major transportation projects previously presented to the Board.
Dr. Jane T. York, School Superintendent, presented to the Board the
FY2000-2004 Capital improvement Program (CIP) recently adopted by the
School Board. She stated she would also. be requesting funding for two (2)
of the items on the CII', as follows: Item (4) the new northern elementary
.school opening in the year 2001, built for 600 students, .infrastructure for
750, at an approximate cost of $9.6 million; .and, Item (8) a new centrally
located middle school opening in the year 2002,. built .for 800 students,
infrastructure for 900, at an approximate cost of $16.1 million. She stated
based on figures released yesterday from the State, in three (3) of four (4)
core high school subject areas, the County exceeded the State average in
SOL (Standards of Learning) testing. She stated the reasons for the
requested two (2) projects tonight is due to the potential for growth and
inadequate facilities.
Supervisor Cofer stated there are currently approximately 250 seats
available (at the Windsor. Elementary School) and because of this he could
not support the School Board's request tonight. He stated had rezoning
taken place six (6) months ago and the School Board done their job, the
Board of Supervisors would not be considering this request tonight.

students while still maintaining academic standards.
1
~o~K~ 18 ~~:-581
Dr. York stated she is hesitant to provide .the Board with concrete
figures, but the school is in need of a new roof which would cost between
$500,000 and $600,000. She stated new technology. is also needed at this
facility to make it comparable to other schools, as well as new carpet and
painting. Dr. York. noted the infrastructure is also in poor condition.
Supervisor Bradshaw stated he could not endorse this proposal
because of the .magnitude of the debt that would be incurred with the County
and he .believes other possibilities should be evaluated. at this time. He
stated if the current building can be utilized for additional years, while
maintaining the academics, then the Board should consider doing this.
Dr. York stated there is no reason why restructuring cannot take place
for the sake of space, however, compromises would have to be made, as well
as retrofitting of the classrooms if there is to be a comparable program
throughout the County.
Supervisor Claud stated he could not support the request as presented.
tonight from the School Board as he does nat believe it is fiscally
responsible as there are facilities that can accommodate the need for
additional spaces for students for a period of time. He stated regarding the
middle school, he wishes to review all options of the County and as long. as
the Board can assure that all students in the County have the same
opportunity for equal. education then he is willing to look at any option to
accommodate that.
Supervisor Bradby stated the citizens are responsible for the tax
increase if the Board approves funding for additional schools .and he would
hope that the School Board would present another plan that would be more
economically feasible for the residents of the County.
Supervisor Cofer stated there will be a need for new schools down the
road and the Board would. be shortsighted if it does not at least allow some
funding in the Capital Improvements Program, perhaps over the next two (2)
years.
Chairman Spady stated he could not support the plan as proposed by
the School Board tonight.. Chairman Spady stated he is aware of the
overcrowding in the southern and northern ends and he would request that
John Whaley be invited to attend a Board meeting to discuss what Mr.
Whaley's program entails and what he thinks the school population will be.
Supervisor Bradshaw moved the Board deny the request of the School
Board for the two (2) projects as .submitted by the School Board for the
