Chairman Clark noted the Board would discuss Mr. Bowles' concerns under the New Business section of the agenda. Joe Joyner of Walters Highway stated that the condition of the dumpster site in Walters is a result of poor management, and could be addressed by additional dumpsters being placed at the site to handle overflow of debris. He expressed concern with the tax assessment now being done every two (2) years. He recommended that the Board implement an inflation index, and save the funds being spent by the County now on assessment efforts. Gina Jones of Carrollton requested that the Board provide additional funding to the school system for the enhancement of the gifted programs. Grace Keen of Berms Church Boulevard notified the Board that the Beautification Committee is desirous of locating two (2) benches, one, (1) on either side of the Courthouse doors, at the front entrance to the Courthouse. She presented a request that one (1) of these benches be dedicated to the memory of the late William J. Edwards, who previously served two (2) terms on the Board of Supervisors. Chairman Clark noted that the .Board would discuss Mrs.. Keen's request under the New Business .section of the agenda. David Rice of Smithfield requested that the Board .provide .additional funding to the school system for gifted programs. Albert Burckard of Titus Creek reiterated the previous request of the Isle of Wight County Citizens Association, the Carrollton Civic League and the Isle of Wight Historical Society, to delay by one (1) year, the demolition by VDOT of its toll booth located at the foot of the James River Bridge, so that possible tenants could be found to pay for the building's upkeep. He again suggested that the demolition might possibly be delayed if Sheriff C. W. Phelps would formally make a request in writing to .Constance Sorrell of VDOT. . Carolyn Bickham of Chuckatuck, and Senior Guidance Counselor at the Windsor High School, requested the. Board fully-fund the needs of the school system. She noted that the "No Child Left Behind- Act" and SOL testing have placed added stress on school system .staff.

The motion was adopted unanimously (5-0). // Chairman Clark called for a public hearing on the following: A. 2004-OS Proposed General Operating Budget Amendments Chairman Clark called for persons to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed Amendments to the 2004-05 General Operating Budget. Sadie Boyer of the Newport District requested that none of the $1.5 additional revenues received from the State be appropriated to the school system. She noted once an additional person is hired, a new. position is created, or a program is expanded, it is difficult to remove. She noted the Smithfield Middle School will cost the County $2.3 million every year in additional taxes, which equates to a $.12 cent increase in the .property tax rate. She noted because payment on the bond is not due until next fiscal year, she would recommend that the. Board. not use any of the $1.5 million additional revenues- from. the- State this year, but hold the money in reserve for the budget next year. She noted that the amount of per school-cost of operation for public education in the County has increased .20.2% in the past two (2) years, and the school analysis reflects an increase in the total budget .from. approximately $28,096,000 to $46,500,000 in 2005, an increase of 63ofo when the number of students has increased only 3.9% in the last seven (7) years and only .64% in the last. two (2) years.. She noted the school's proposed budget for 2004-05 includes eleven (11) new positions, and in the past two (2) years, there have been numerous increases in the school's budget. She stated school personnel .salaries have been increased to make them competitive, making their salaries..: higher than five (5) of the surrounding localities, and only lower than two (2) of the `surrounding localities. She stated the school had over $600,000 left over last year, which equals to $.03 cents on the property tax; however, the school did not return the money to the County or fund the gifted program. She stated rather the School Board gave the entire school system employees a two (2) months' bonus that paid the total staff health premiums for a two. (2) months' period. 7 i~ e . ~ eoo~ 2? :r,::•4f3 She stated the school system- has requested a 6% budget increase this year and received all of that request .with the exception of $165,000. She stated that the school system's request for funding at this time is both unreasonable and unjustified. Dicks Morrow of Walters requested -the Board appropriate additional funding to the school system for the enhancement of the gifted program. Nancy Guill of Rescue stated that some of the items the School Board has spent funding on in the past are disturbing to her. She stated the school system should be spending its funds very carefully and balancing its priorities because while television sets in every classroom are not essential, teacher's aids are. Sharon Hart of the Newport District stated that the school system has spent inappropriately in the past, and many of the County's departments were cut in last year's budget so that funding could be provided to the. school system. She recommended that the $1.5 million additional revenues from the State be divided among those departments that are in serious need, such as the Sheriff's Office and public safety. Michael Uzzell of Central Hill Road advised the Board that he had been unsuccessful in rectifying a problem with staff at Smithfield High School regarding his special needs. child. He noted that the school system is mishandling money and mistreating teachers, students and aids. Joe Joyner of Walters Highway suggested that the Board investigate school system spending. He noted businesses have been- doing more with less, and citizens just want a fair use of the money that is being taken from their pockets. Chairman Clark closed the public hearing, and called for comments from the Board. Supervisor NlacManus .stated his initial adjustments of $250,000 for economic development and funding for four (4) additional deputies within the Sheriff's Office, were intended to address the direct needs. He noted guidance counselors are no longer providing guidance. He stated .the "No Child Left Behind Act" is an unfunded mandate that is requiring schools to do things that they do not have the funds. for because they were never provided, and the SOLs are also requiring many extras that funding was never provided for from the State. He stated -there is a desperate need by the school system for kindergarten teacher aids.. He stated the County has debt requirements of $565,000 on the new school. He stated people do not move to areas with a poor education system, and a good education system is critical to future economic development and quality of life for all citizens. He stated of the $1.5 million. requested by the Board, he proposed $300,000 additional towards the $1.5 million in identified needs. 8 a'ooK 22 {~~=4$4 Supervisor Bradshaw stated in the past he has always been a strong advocate for increasing the funding for schools, but over the past three (3) years the school administration has taken an adversarial relationship with the Board of Supervisors, although the Board has continually provided funding to the school system. He stated the School Board no longer has a vision, and the teachers .and children are the ones to suffer .when political organizations do not get. along. He stated he hopes that the School Board will .accept when the Board of Supervisors extends an invitation to meet jointly with them. Supervisor Bradby stated he has always been a strong supporter of the school system, and he supports Supervisor MacManus' proposal. Supervisor Wright stated he does not agree with the manner in which the School Board has been spending its funding. He noted the school system must learn manage its funds as though it were operating a business. Chairman Clark. stated that during his tenure on the Board, he has never denied a request for funding .from the School Board. He advised that he has received numerous calls requesting that the Board reduce taxes, and .the senior citizens on fixed incomes are the citizens who will be most affected by the $2.3 million obligation for the new Smithfield Middle School. He stated that while he is not sure where the County will come up with- $2.3 million next fiscal year, he does know what the Board can do this. year to soften the impact .for the next fiscal year. He stated it requires more than 30% of the budget to run the remainder of the County offices, and the Board must divide the funds in such. a-way that addresses both quality schools and public safety concerns. He recommended. that the Board place the remainder of the funds received from the State aside to soften the impact to taxpayers for paying for the new $2.3 million dollar Smithfield Middle School next fiscal year. Chairman Clark moved that the Board amend the advertised budget adjustments to reduce the amount allocated to the schools by $200,000, and that that amount be reallocated to the fund balance. The motion was adopted by a vote of (3-2) with Supervisors Bradshaw, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion, and Supervisors MacManus and Bradby- voting against the motion. Chairman Clark called for a public hearing on the following: B. An Application to amend the Comprehensive Plan of Tsle of Wight County, Virginia through the addition of the .proposed Benn's Church Master Plan that is more specifically contained in the publication Benn's Church Activity Center: A 'Roadmap for Growth prepared by Brandon Currence Architects in association .with Urban Design Associates. This Master Plan describes the participatory process, a road map for growth, and architectural 1 1 9 aooK 2? ~r;_r-~~5 guidelines and patterns that are intended to influence and .guide future growth and development in the Benn's Church area. Chairman Clark called for persons to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed application. Patrick J. Small, Director of Economic Development, stated in response to a number of property owners approaching the County with the intent to develop their real estate in the Benns Church area, staff had suggested that these landowners partner with the County on the creation of a set of guidelines for the future development of this area. He stated the Plan does not change or alter the land use of any property in this area; rather, it is merely a guideline for the Board, Planning Commission, development community and staff to utilize in determining how this area may or may not be developed in the future. He stated this tool also strengthens the County's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Highway Corridor Overlay District and he recommended that the Board approve the application. Gina Ippolito of Smithfield stated she was involved as a citizen in all the planning sessions. She stated citizen input, along with. the foresight of County staff, is a powerful tool. She noted this document provides the County with the ability to control and manage growth, and she recommended that the Board approve the application. Thomas Finderson of Sugar Hill Road recommended that the area of approximately twenty-one (21) acres located across the road from St. Lukes be designated a historical .district.. He further recommended that improvements be made to either Tan Road or the road close to the James River Christian Academy, thereby allowing an additional access to Route 10. He suggested the developer be required to build and pay -for the "preferred" road. He stated the attachment contains too many disclaimers .and he recommended that it only contain one (1) map with the "preferred road" and a page of text. He recommended language be included in the Plan. stipulating that residential build out will be over a thirty (30) to forty (40) year period with the commercial section being built as rapidly as possible. He advised that the developer has not included the borrow pits and ponds in his map, as requested by citizens. He stated the lake across St. Lukes Church on Mr. Turner's property is not designated on the map, and no commercial. property. should be built around it, as it is a pristine lake. // Chairman Clark moved that the Board take a five. (5) minute break. The motion was adopted unanimously (5-0). /I 10 s~;QK 22 ~M~t466 Chairman. Clazk moved the Boazd return to open session. The motion was adopted unanimously (5-0). ' // Chairman Clark called for continuation of the public hearing. Dean Vincent, Kimrey, Horn & Associates, noted that. VDOT was supportive of the "preferred" road from a design aspect. Ike stated there aze many more possibilities in correcting the problems that exist today at the present intersection. He stated he intends to meet ~ with VDOT in the next thirty (30) days to seek its approval on the conceptual alignment. Henry Morgan. Isle of Wight Materials and Benns Church properties, noted he was speaking on behalf of Richard Turner and seeking the Boazd's approval. He .commended Mr. Hartley. and Mr. Small .for their guidance throughout the process. He noted they havebeen adamant that the impact of any development through this intersection be considered with respect to the. character of the County. He stated the Planning Commission and citizens have also. participated and an overwhelming amount of public input was .received.. He stated that while the Plan is not perfect, it is a reflection of the County being proactive in trying to deal with problems in advance. Nancy Guill of Rescue noted concerns with transportation with respect to the preferred road. She noted it has not .been determined who will pay for this .road, but. the County and citizens should not be responsible for paying for it. She noted following the approval of the Plan will be several requests. for rezoning, which will add density in that area, and place added traffic on ,Brewer's Neck Boulevard, Route 17 and the shortcuts to the James River Bridge, such as Reynolds Road and Nike Park Road, which aze already in poor shape and hazardous .roads to travel. She. stated the rezonings that are. following want to build. out in five (5) years, and she believes that the transportation issues have not yet been adequately addressed. 'She stated she is also concerned that the Plan is so closely linked to he rezoningsthat they are being discussed as if .they are already a done deal. She noted these rezonings will. add thousands of residents to the Carrollton and Berms Church area, .all within-five (5) years; which is not controlled and planned growth. She stated she also has not seen proposed the diversity of housing in the Plan. She noted that the Plan contains too many conceptual maps that do not seem to serve a purpose. 1 Sharon Hart of the Newport District stated the Isle of Wight Citizens Association voted against the inclusion of the section of the Turner/Morgan property in the Plan that is not currently in the Development Service District (DSD). She noted concerns with road congestion in the. Berms Church area and the. lack of alternatives to move around this area. She stated that representatives of VDOT have indicated thatthere is no money for any new construction, but -.the County and .citizens should not be held responsible for 11 fi 900K i~l.r !r~i~:~4J 1 funding the realignment of this road. She .stated it should be noted that the building of the road should. be the responsibility of the developers and that it is the intent to have the build out over the next thirty (30) years. Chairman Clark closed the public hearing and called for comments from the Board. Supervisor Bradby inquired who would be responsible for paying for the road. Mr. Vincent stated he has. been asked to review the viability and costs associated with relocating the road versus improvements to the existing intersection. Mr. Small advised Supervisor Bradby the County has the ability to accept cash proffers anytime a request for rezoning or a change to the Comprehensive Plan is made. He stated. if a developer is coming into the community and will be making a negative impact on the County's transportation system, staff will look first to these developers to pay their fair share of road improvements. He noted that staff will be working diligently to ensure than any County dollars going into these projects are minimized. Supervisor MacManus noted there are a number of roads in the County that have no present funding basis, i.e., the Benn's Church connector to the Courthouse and the road that connects Nike Park Road to Smiths Neck Road. Supervisor Bradshaw noted that with respect to Ms. Guill's comments about transportation issues, Nike Park and Reynolds Roads are already included in the Comprehensive Plan for future improvements. Chairman Clark inquired about the comments of Sharon Hart with respect to the section of the Turner/Morgan property being included in the Plan that is not currently in the DSD. Mr. Small stated the Plan does highlight some of Mr. Morgan's parcels that do lie outside the DSD and that are attached to his existing property, and Mr. Morgan is proceeding with an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. He noted that the DSD followed natural features versus property lines, and in some cases, these were parcels that were split as a result. Supervisor MacManus moved .the Board approve .the application to amend the Comprehensive Plan through the addition of the proposed Benn's Church Master Plan. The .motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors MacManus, Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion, and no Supervisors voting against the motion. Chairman Clark'called for a public hearing on the following: 12 eodM 22 t~~f468 C. The application of Robert J. Frank and Romayne L. Frank to amend the proffered concept plan of the Benn's Church Development, thirty-three (33) acres. of land .zoned Conditional General Commercial, to allow a self storage facility and retail/office uses. The. property is located on the south side of Brewer's Neck Boulevard (Route 258) east of the Benn's Church Boulevard (Route 10) intersection, Carrollton, in the Newport Election District. Ms. Walkup stated the acres under discussion were previously rezoned to General Commercial in 1987 and, as a part of that rezoning, a master plan was proffered which included a shopping center, motel and office space to .wrap around the Benns Church United Methodist Church. She noted several months ago the master plan was amended to include only a motel addition to the rear of the existing motel, and a restaurant. addition to the west of the motel. She stated the applicant is now filing to amend his concept plan to pursue developing the balance of the property. and include mini-warehousing, office retail space, and future pad sites. She noted the applicant has submitted revised proffers and, for clarity purposes, has amended the proffers with respect to hours of operation and to omit any reference to the Benn's Church Activity Center. Chairman Clark called for persons to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed application. Jonathan Frank of Newport News requested that. the Board approve his application to amend his concept plan to pursue developing the balance of his property, to include mini-warehousing, office retail space and. future pad sites. Chairman Clark closed the public hearing and called for comments from the Board. Supervisor Bradshaw expressed concern with the types of uses allowed under a General Commercial zoning with respect to proffer #5, fast food drive throughs. County Attorney Stroman advised that the proffers are only signed by Mr. Frank and there was an issue concerning ownership which was raised. at the Planning Commission meeting that he would like for Mr. Frank to address. Mr. Frank noted it is a family-owned partnership and he has authorization to sign for Dr. Frank. He advised that there are also other general partners in addition to Dr. Frank. He noted, as Dr. Frank's representative, he had presented this information to Mr. Hartley .some .time ago. i #' 13 9oa~ -2~ ~r;_~-4~9 County Attorney Stroman advised that in a general partnership, all the partners hold equal weight, and he has some concern that staff does not have the signatures of all of these general partners. He suggested in order to address Vice-Chairman Bradshaw's concerns. with respect to sites versus .site plans versus uses -and to ensure that the proffers are in a form that would be legally enforceable, that the Board continue this matter until the Board's second meeting in August, 2004 and schedule a second public hearing. Supervisor Bradshaw stated that because this corridor is located at the entranceway into the County, he would prefer that rezonings are only approved for one (1) particular use, and if an applicant wants to change that use, that they would proceed with the process to have this done. He stated the Board is very concerned about what the. County will look like in the future, and the decisions being made today will impact future generations. Ms. Walkup noted she would work with Mr. Frank and come up a list of permissible uses for the pads to be proffered, in addition to Proffer #5. She noted that Mr. Frank may have drive throughs that may affect some of these uses, and she will list these separately so that they have to come back for. conditional approval. Supervisor Bradshaw noted a concern with Proffer #2, wherein the self-storage facility shall be constructed in general conformity with the site plan and elevations to the. Planning Commission and Board. He requested "general conformity" ue stated and that it be more specific. County Attorney Stroman noted that when he discusses the application with Mr. Hartley, Ms. Walkup and the applicant, the applicant may wish to consider giving the Board some assurance beyond general conformity and make an offer with respect to the type of construction materials. Supervisor MacManus noted tattoo parlors are permitted uses under General Commercial, and the Board could not make any restriction except-for the way the building looks from the Highway Corridor Overlay District. Chairman Clark noted that while Mr. Frank does not wish to build a tattoo parlor at this location, the property could be sold in the future and this would be a permitted use. Mr. Frank noted it was not his desire to have a tattoo parlor, and he generally puts deed restrictions for the protection of his own property. Supervisor MacManus inquired if two (2) of the pads meet the 70 foot setback. Ms. Walkup noted the Highway Corridor Overlay District requires a seventy (70) foot average with a fifty (50) foot minimum. She noted it would have to be determined at the time of site plan review whether this 14 i ~o~x 22 ~~~470 requirement is .met. She further noted staff is .currently .working on a proposed ordinance that eliminates the seventy (70) foot average and proposes a seventy (70) foot setback. Supervisor Bradshaw asked Ms. Walkup to discuss this with Mr. Frank to see if he might be willing to proffer a seventy (70) foot setback. Chairman Clark requested that the landscaping totally block the view of the building from the roadway. Supervisor MacManus requested Ms. Walkup to discuss with Mr. Frank his willingness to proffer landscaping above and beyond the minimum required to hide the entire stucco wall from the public's view. with landscaping, berms, higher bushes and trees. He stated the. fifty (50) foot easement on the back of the property would also .need landscaping to hide it from sight from any future road. Supervisor Bradshaw moved. the Board table the application of Robert J. Frank and Romayne L. Frank, and .direct staff to advertise. another public hearing at the Board's August 23, 2004 meeting. In the meantime, staff is to address specific uses under Item 3 (pad sites), the specific materials to be used under Item 2, landscaping of the front, back and side areas, and the 70 foot setback. The cost of readvertising the application. is to be borne by the County. The motion was adopted by a vote of (5-0) with Supervisors MacManus, Bradby, Bradshaw, Clark and Wright voting in favor of the motion, and no Supervisors voting against the motion. Chairman Clark called for a public hearing on the following: D. The application of Bishop Walter F. Sullivan and Robert J. Frank for a change in zoning classification from RAC to Conditional General Commercial, 6.4 acres of land located on the south side of Brewer's Neck Boulevard .(Route 258) east. of the Benn's Church Boulevard (Route 10) .intersection, Carrollton, in the Newport Election District.: The purpose of the application is for a future retail out parcel and mini-warehouse complex phase II. Ms. Walkup noted that the same issues as the previous application apply to this. site. County Attorney Stroman noted that the Board could continue with conducting the public hearing; however, he would recommend that the Board cancel tonight's public hearing and reschedule it for the Board's second meeting in August, 2004.
