02SN0238 (Amended)

In Matoaca Magisterial District, DOUGLAS R. SOWERS requests amendment to Conditional Use Planned Development (Case 88S008) and amendment of zoning district map on part of property which is commonly known as Greenspring's A. E. Howard and Rose tracts. Specifically, the applicant desires to develop this 208.5 acre tract as a single development from the originally-zoned 1,312.7 acre tract. In general, amendments are requested relative to the approved Master Plan, historic structures, provision of a golf course, road improvements, land dedications and reservations, utilities, drainage, erosion and water quality. A mixed use development consisting of residential, office and commercial uses is planned. The density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for regional mixed use and single family residential use of 2.0 units per acre or less. This request lies in Residential (R-9) and Corporate Office (O-2) Districts on 208.5 acres fronting in two (2) places for a total of approximately 2,050 feet on the east line of Otterdale Road, approximately 2,900 feet south of Gamecock Road. Tax IDs 716-691-4229 and 718-691-6889 (Sheet 9).

Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 02SN0238 and stated the request represents the third phase of the original Greensprings zoning case, indicating that the negotiated conditions in the Greensprings case did not include cash proffers, but did include required transportation improvements to support the land use development in this area. He further stated the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of Amendments I through IV and VI pertaining to technical changes to the original zoning on the property. He further stated staff recommends denial of Amendment V because deletion of the required traffic impact analysis might result in all of the roads necessary to support the proposed development not being built. He stated the Planning Commission, on a 4-1 vote, recommended approval of Amendment V, indicating that, in their opinion, the applicant has offered a fair amount of road improvements for the proposed development.

In response to Mrs. Humphrey and Mr. Barber's questions, Mr. Jacobson stated, at the time of the original Greensprings request, the Board did not have the authority to collect cash proffers; therefore, substantial road improvements were negotiated to support the proposed development. He further stated the original zoning offered a land commitment for a school site. He noted the developer is offering a cash proffer of approximately $105,000, representing the subject property's commitment for the original land dedication.

In response to Mr. Barber's questions, Mr. Allan Carmody, Budget Manager, came forward and stated the $105,000 cash proffer equates to approximately ten acres, which is not large enough for a school site. He further stated the original case required a 65-acre parcel to be dedicated, which has been prorated in proportion to the number of residential units on each of the three subsequent cases. He stated there will be approximately $650,000 in cash proffers for schools once the residential units have applied for their permits and made their payments. He further stated the Board would have the ability to acquire a school site once the units are developed. He stated the last Greensprings parcel still has a requirement for a 65-acre dedication, but there will probably not be 65 acres left for a school site. He further stated the Board will have the ability to purchase a school site using cash proffers from these cases at whatever site it chooses to acquire.

Mr. Barber called forward Ms. Cynthia Owens-Bailey, Director of Planning of Chesterfield County Public Schools, to address this issue.

Ms. Owens-Bailey stated the School Board recently approved redistricting for both Watkins Elementary and Swift Creek Middle Schools. She further stated staff will continue to monitor the Greensprings area as it develops and also look at possible sites to locate an additional school.

Mr. Jim Theobold, representing the applicant, stated the proposal is consistent with the existing Greensprings zoning. He further stated staff has requested that the applicant provide a traffic impact study, which could have the ability of stopping or limiting the proposed development. He stated the applicant and the Planning Commission did not believe the traffic impact study was appropriate because the road improvements being offered by the developer address the transportation impact of the proposed development. He provided details of the various road improvements being offered by the applicant.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

No one came forward to speak to the request.

Mr. Miller called Mr. McCracken forward to address the traffic issue.

Mr. McCracken stated staff does not recommend eliminating the traffic impact study because it is not known whether the infrastructure being offered by the applicant will be sufficient to accommodate the impact of the proposed development. He further stated staff anticipates 40,000 vehicles per day will be generated when the entire Greensprings property is developed. He stated staff recognizes that many of the transportation improvements required in the original Greensprings case are a burden that the development community cannot bear and expressed concerns that the original infrastructure is being whittled down as individual zoning cases are approved.

In response to Mrs. Humphrey's question, Mr. McCracken stated the infrastructure required in the original zoning that is not being provided include four lanes of Woolridge Road and the Powhite Parkway extension, indicating that staff agrees there should be a public role in the cost of extending Powhite. He expressed concerns that densities are not changing, yet portions of the original infrastructure approved by the Board are being lost. He stated staff is prepared to support the case with the previous condition relative to a traffic impact study.

When asked, Mr. Theobold stated he feels some conditions are being overlooked, indicating that the applicant cannot provide more than 175 residential units or 20,000 square feet of non-residential uses until a number of road improvements have been made, including four lanes of Woolridge Road, two lanes of Powhite Parkway extended from Watermill Parkway to Woolridge Road extended, and two lanes of Woolridge Road extended from Powhite Parkway to the northern property line. He further stated the applicant has also agreed not to record any lots or site plans for multi-family units prior to July 1, 2005. He stated it will be very hard for road commitments to be financed without knowing the full extent of development that can be achieved. He further stated protective stops have been provided by the developer to delay development of the subject property, indicating that he believes the phasing will address the impact of the proposed development on area traffic.

Mrs. Humphrey stated the Woolridge Road extension has always been a priority of hers because the communities west of the lake have few alternatives to Hull Street except Genito Road. She further stated the completion of Woolridge Road is critical to getting residents to Powhite and off of Hull Street. She expressed concerns about the traffic flow challenge discussed by Mr. McCracken with the proposed commercial/industrial development.

Mr. Theobold stated the proposed commercial area is smaller than the size of a typical mall and is located where the original Greensprings case sited a mixed-use commercial node as reflected in the county's land use plan. He further stated the commercial area will provide a reason for the applicant to begin constructing the roads.

Mr. Barber stated he is thankful that Ms. Owens-Bailey was present to answer questions, and there is a plan to address accommodation of students as a result of the proposed development.

Ms. Owens-Bailey stated that, although the proposed development is being phased, it will still have a significant impact on schools. She further stated, if the proposed development moves too quickly, an additional facility may have to be requested or redistricting may have to be considered for this area.

Mr. Miller stated he is very concerned about the transportation issues raised by Mr. McCracken.

Mrs. Humphrey stated Board members are not comfortable with the phasing being proffered by the applicant, and she feels staff needs additional time to address the transportation issues with the developer.

After further discussion with Mr. Theobold, Mrs. Humphrey made a motion, seconded by Mr. Barber, for the Board to defer Case 02SN0238 until June 23, 2004.

Ayes: Miller, Barber, Humphrey, King and Warren.
Nays: None.

04SN0107

In Dale Magisterial District, JACOBS GLENN LC requests amendment to zoning (Case 00SN0266) and amendment of zoning district map to eliminate the requirement to provide an emergency access. The density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 1.0 to 2.5 units per acre. This request lies in a Residential (R-12) District on 30.0 acres fronting approximately 800 feet on the west line of Newbys Bridge Road approximately 100 feet south of Valencia Road, also lying at the eastern terminus of Jacobs Bend Drive. Tax ID 759-684-2733 (Sheet 11).

Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 04SN0107 and stated staff recommended denial because the applicant fails to address the requirement for a second public access. He further stated the Planning Commission, on a 3-2 vote, recommended approval and acceptance of the proffered condition, indicating that the homeowners' association for the new proposed development should not be burdened to require an emergency access that is needed by an adjacent neighborhood.

Mr. Andy Scherzer, representing the applicant, stated the request has the support of both the community as well as the Planning Commission. He further stated it would not be fair for the existing neighborhood to maintain an emergency access that would serve neighbors to the west. He requested the Board's approval of the proposal.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

Mr. George Beadles expressed concerns relative to the risks involved in allowing development without providing an emergency access.

There being no one else to speak to the request, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Miller stated he will support the request because it has the support of the Planning Commission and no opposition from area residents.

Mr. Miller then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Barber, for the Board to approve Case 04SN0107.

Mr. Barber stated he will support the motion, but believes the connectivity policy needs to be completed so that long-term public safety can be better addressed in zoning cases.

Mr. Miller called for a vote on his motion, seconded by Mr. Barber, for the Board to approve Case 04SN0107 and accept the following proffered condition:

No public road connection shall be provided to Jacobs Bend Drive in the Jacobs Glenn Subdivision. (P&T)

Ayes: Miller, Barber, Humphrey, King and Warren.
Nays: None.

03SN0288 (Amended)

In Matoaca Magisterial District, DOUGLAS R. SOWERS requests rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from Agricultural (A) and Residential (R-25) to Community Business (C-3) with Conditional Use to allow multifamily residential and residential townhouse uses and Conditional Use Planned Development to permit exceptions to Ordinance requirements. The density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for regional mixed use and for residential use of 2.0 units per acre or less. This request lies on 117.8 acres fronting in two (2) places for approximately 1,850 feet on the south line of Old Hundred Road, approximately 750 feet east of Otterdale Road and in two (2) places for approximately 725 feet on the east line of Otterdale Road, approximately 1,200 feet south of Old Hundred Road. Tax IDs 716-696-9418 and 9559; 717-695-0722; 717-696-1097; and 718-696-7128 (Sheet 9).

Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 03SN0288 and stated the applicant has offered an amendment to Proffered Condition 4, which represents a full cash proffer consistent with the Board's policy, and both the Planning Commission and staff now recommend approval subject to one condition and acceptance of the proffered conditions. He noted the request conforms to the Upper Swift Creek Plan .

Mrs. Humphrey inquired whether Utilities staff has looked at how other residences on Old Hundred Road can be served by public utilities from the proposed development.

Mr. Randy Phelps, Utilities Department Senior Engineer, stated water for the proposed development will be coming from Route 60 down Old Hundred Road past Otterdale Road, and sewer for the proposed development will extend from Tomahawk Creek to serve the property, indicating that the utilities will serve a much larger area than just the proposed development.

Mrs. Humphrey stated utilities from the proposed development will minimize the cost of an assessment district for residents of Old Hundred Road.

Mr. Phelps stated area residents have requested cost estimates for providing them with public utilities and indicated that he is in the process of providing this information to the residents.

Mr. Jim Theobold, representing the applicant, stated the recommendation is acceptable, indicating that the cash proffer issue has now been resolved.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

Mr. Steve Harris, a resident of North Hundred Subdivision, stated the residents have always expressed a desire to maintain the rural residential character of the area through low-density development. He provided a map depicting development that is encroaching the area and expressed concerns relative to the impact of the proposed development on the water supply in the area. He also expressed concerns relative to increased traffic and the impact of the proposed development on area property values. He requested that the Board consider a minimum of R-40 zoning on the lots adjacent to the existing homes.

Mr. William McClintock, a resident of Otterdale Road, expressed concerns relative to the traffic impact of the proposed development. He stated through truck traffic is prohibited on Old Hundred Road, but trucks are still traveling on the road.

Mr. Shannon Higginbotham, a resident of Otterdale Road, expressed concerns relative to placement of R-12 zoning adjacent to houses along Otterdale and Old Hundred Roads. He stated he believes a precedent was already set when the Halsley tract was zoned R-40.

Dr. Betty Hunter-Clapp stated a number of citizens who have attended meetings regarding the revision of the Upper Swift Creek Plan have requested that use of R-12 zoning not be allowed in the Upper Swift Creek Area because of its impact on road infrastructure and the reservoir. She requested that the Board take the citizens' request into consideration.

Mr. Theobold pointed out that there are phasing conditions to address transportation issues. He noted there is a condition that limits the density in the R-12 area to two units per acre adjacent to the lots along Otterdale and Old Hundred Roads, consistent with the Upper Swift Creek Plan .

There being no one else to speak to the request, the public hearing was closed.

Mrs. Humphrey stated the condition which limits the R-12 zoning adjacent to Old Hundred and Otterdale Roads to two units per acre should address Mr. Harris and Mr. Higginbotham's concerns. She requested that the Police Department address enforcement of the restriction on through truck traffic on Old Hundred Road.

When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated the condition requires the development of R-12 uses in Tract D not to exceed a density of two units per acre, but does not mandate that the lots be perfectly spaced out to equal two houses on every acre. He further stated staff is comfortable with the density transition. He stated there is no buffer required by the proposed development.

Mrs. Humphrey stated she is considering imposing a condition relative to the lots adjacent to existing development.

Mr. Theobold stated R-12 zoning gives the applicant the ability to work with the land and locate lots in areas consistent with topographical conditions. He further stated the residents will be better able to have their concerns addressed during the site plan process.

Mr. Jacobson stated neighboring property owners can participate in the subdivision process, but staff and the Planning Commission must follow the conditions approved by the Board as well as other county development standards.

Mr. Theobold stated it is the developer's intent to evenly disburse the units throughout the site subject to topographical limitations.

Mrs. Humphrey she will attend the site plan meeting for the subject development and remind everyone of her intent for the area, if necessary.

Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to suspend its rules to allow for the amended proffered condition.

Ayes: Miller, Barber, Humphrey, King and Warren.
Nays: None.

On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board approved Case 03SN0288 subject to the following condition:

03SN0316 (Amended)

In Midlothian Magisterial District, JAMES DORAN CO. requests rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from Agricultural (A), Community Business (C-3) and General Business (C-5) to Community Business (C-3) with Conditional Use Planned Development to permit exceptions to Ordinance requirements. The density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for suburban commercial, planned transitional and village fringe uses. This request lies on 34.5 acres fronting approximately 1,400 feet on the north line of Midlothian Turnpike approximately 400 feet west of Winterfield Road, also fronting approximately 1,040 feet on the west line of Winterfield Road approximately 500 feet north of Midlothian Turnpike. Tax IDs 724-709-2311, 2528, 4210, 5831, 6911, 7661 and 9121; and 725-709-1125 and 7635 (Sheet 5).

Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a summary of Case 03SN0316 and stated staff recommends approval subject to the applicant addressing the impact on capital facilities, indicating that the proffered conditions do not adequately mitigate the impact of the proposed development on school facilities. She further stated staff is also concerned about excessive signage exceptions. She stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions and acceptance of the proffered conditions, indicating that the data submitted by the applicant indicates that the multifamily development will generate less school children than the county-wide average and sign exceptions are appropriate given the unique design of the project.

Mr. William Shewmake, representing the applicant, stated the applicant is requesting an exception to signage because everything in the development is internally oriented and additional signage is necessary for advertising purposes. He further stated the applicant is incorporating strict architectural standards for the signage. He stated the proposal did not initially have any residential units, and the issue of cash proffers arose when apartment units were added. He further stated full cash proffers have been provided for transportation, fire and libraries. He stated the apartments are not designed to bring in children, but for young urban professionals, although the applicant has offered a percentage of cash proffer for schools. He further stated area residents Mr. and Mrs. Knabe oppose the project because of the impact it will have on the northern boundary of their property, and noted the applicant has proffered more intensive landscaping and is willing to build a four-foot berm with vegetation and plantings on top in this area. He stated the applicant is also willing to build a new driveway so the Knabes can access the subject property rather than accessing their property at the intersection of Winterfield Road. He further stated the applicant is downzoning a C-5 area to C-3 and will provide a substantial aesthetic improvement in the area.

Mr. Scott Parker, landscape architect with Design Works, provided photographs of the design for the proposed Winterfield Village development. He stated the mixed uses and outdoor spaces will promote a pedestrian network. He further stated that placing buildings close to the edges of both Winterfield Road and Midlothian Turnpike will define the edges and redesign those streets.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

Ms. Marie Strack, a member of the Midlothian Village Coalition, stated she supports the proposed development, indicating that it follows the essence of the Midlothian Village Plan .

Mr. Peppy Jones stated the proposed development is beautifully designed and will greatly enhance the Village of Midlothian. He requested that the Board support the proposal.

Mr. Gordon Meyer, a member of the Midlothian Development Committee, commended the developer for an extraordinarily designed project and stated he supports the proposed development.

Ms. Amy Satterfield, a member of the Midlothian Village Coalition and representative of the Salisbury Homeowners Association, stated she wholeheartedly supports the proposed development.

Ms. Marleen Durfee, representing the Task Force for Responsible Growth, stated she is glad to see that citizens are getting together with the development community to envision the type of development they desire, indicating that she supports the proposed development.

Mr. Bryan Buniva, representing William and Catherine Knabe, provided the Board with photographs of the Knabe property where the couple has lived since 1949 and stated the Knabes are concerned about the development north of their property. He further stated the Knabes are grateful to the applicant for agreeing to create an ingress and egress through the developer's property and to create a visual buffer. He expressed concerns relative to the overall density of the proposed development and stated the Knabes' greatest fear was that the county could condemn their property for road improvements, indicating that the developer has proffered a condition that would address this concern. He stated he was advised today that after the road improvements at the Winterfield/Midlothian intersection are completed, the curb and gutter will be 14 feet from the Knabe household, creating more of a dangerous situation. He requested that guardrails be extended to provide protection from the additional traffic. He noted the proposal includes a substantial relaxation of the minimum protections and density requirements that currently exist in the county's ordinance for C-3 zoning. He expressed concerns that the proposed development will generate approximately 18,000-20,000 additional vehicles per day, which will create added traffic gridlock in the Midlothian area. He stated the proposed development will eliminate the 50-foot setback on Midlothian Turnpike as well as the 25-foot setback on Winterfield Road and reduce the number of parking spaces required under the existing ordinance. He expressed concerns that the Knabes will be significantly impacted because of the density of the proposed development. He stated the zoning ordinance allows a decrease in minimum lot requirements provided the open space and land is equivalent to that by which each residential lot or building site has been diminished, and inquired whether the proposal includes such an equivalency reduction, indicating that the applicant is eliminating ten acres from the minimum 20-acre requirement for multi-family zoning; doubling the residential density; increasing the density in the buildings from ten to 25 units per floor; eliminating 25-foot setbacks from public driveways; and narrowing public access roads. He provided the Board with a topography map of the property depicting a lake, which is a perennial stream, indicating that 100 feet on either side must be a protected conservation area according to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance. He expressed concerns that the proposal includes restaurants and other amenities on the western boundary of the lake and noted that this should be adjusted according to the provisions of the ordinance. He requested that entertainment from the establishments on the western side of the lake be restricted to inside the buildings and that the noise not be allowed to emanate past the boundaries of the property. He stated he believes the proposal represents too much development for too small of an area, and requested that the Board consider downscaling the proposal.

Mr. Shewmake stated the existing ordinances are not designed for the type of new urbanism proposed; therefore the applicant must use the Conditional Use Planned Development process. He noted the lake on the property is not a perennial stream and, therefore, would not be subject to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance.

There being no one else to speak to the request, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Barber stated, although he is sympathetic to the Knabes' concerns, he believes the applicant has provided numerous protections for the Knabe property. He further stated he is excited about the design of the proposal as well as the community support. He stated the proposal will include the first step of realigning and straightening a dangerous portion of Winterfield Road, indicating that he feels the proposal will serve the greater good of the community.

Mr. Barber then made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, for the Board to approve Case 03SN0316.

Mrs. Humphrey stated the proposed development will revitalize the vacant shopping center and recharge the Midlothian Village. She commended members of the Midlothian Village Coalition for their efforts in preserving the Midlothian Village.

Mr. Miller called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, for the Board to approve Case 03SN0316 subject to the following conditions:

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS

16. A. TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY PRESERVATION ORDINANCE

Mr. Micas stated this date and time has been advertised for a public hearing to consider adoption of amendments to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance. He further stated the proposed ordinance addresses concerns raised by the Board at its February 11, 2004 work session, by allowing developers to hire qualified professionals to make site specific determinations; extending the exception process if there is a possibility of losing buildable lots; allowing the reconstruction of structures that may be damaged; and eliminating any provisions that were in the prior ordinance that were not mandated by the state, including the exclusion of all-terrain vehicles in resource protection areas.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

Mr. Howard Nester, Vice President of the Chesterfield Farm Bureau, expressed concerns that the Farm Bureau did not work with staff on the proposed amendments. He stated he believes the taking of a person's land on either side of a perennial stream would ruin the property and represents condemnation without compensation.

Mr. Ellis Nester, a resident of Newbys Bridge Road, stated he believes restricting a person's use of his property is really confiscation of his property rights and is not morally correct. He urged the Board to defer a vote on the issue until such time as the land has been evaluated and each landowner knows the impact of the ordinance on their land.

Mr. Tom Faris, a resident of Liken Creek in the Dale District, expressed concerns relative to the easements that already exist on his property and stated that, if 100 feet is taken away from his property along with the easements, he will lose 18 percent of his property, although he must pay taxes on the entire property. He stated he has been growing timber for 30 days, and expressed concerns that he will not be able to get into his property and cut the timber if the ordinance is adopted.

Mr. John Cogbill, a Clover Hill District resident, stated he feels the ordinance is unfair because it only affects jurisdictions east of Interstate 95. He further stated he does not have a clear understanding of the new regulations, and he believes there is going to be a problem when landowners are not able to use their property as they thought they could. He stated he owns about an acre, and if the stream on his property is determined to be perennial, he would lose about two-thirds of his yard and the land would become useless. He suggested that the Board take its time in making a decision because of uncertainties with respect to land value. He expressed concerns that, according to the agenda item, the Attorney General has notified the county that it is the only locality in the state that has not complied with the new regulations when there are actually nine localities that have not adopted the regulations.

Discussion ensued between Mr. Miller and Mr. Cogbill relative to Constitutional prohibitions against taking land without compensation and implementation of police power for taking of land for public necessities.

Mr. Warren stated he shares many of the concerns raised by Mr. Cogbill and is troubled by the definitions being presented in the ordinance amendments as well as understanding the impact of the amendments on private property.

Mr. Cogbill stated he believes ambiguities exist in the ordinance and there are risks involved with moving forward.

Mr. Roger Habeck, Bermuda District resident, expressed concerns relative to the ambiguities in definitions and differences between the law, the ordinances and the guidelines. He expressed concerns that upstream circumstances can cause perennial streams to become intermittent or vice versa. He stated proper review, measurement, standards and methodology must be built into the process to prevent disasters from occurring. He suggested that the Board take more time before adopting the ordinance amendments.

Mr. Preston Cooper, Co-Chairman of Hands Across the Lake, stated, although he is sympathetic to landowners, he believes perennial streams must be protected because failure to do so will lead to the demise of the Chesapeake Bay. He noted that Brandermill and Woodlake have many waterfront properties with resource protection areas, and the property values are higher than lots that are further back behind them. He stated Hands Across the Lake strongly supports the ordinance amendments and requested that Chesterfield not be one of the few counties to neglect its natural resources.

Mr. Michael Pace, a resident of Chelsea Farm, expressed concerns relative to the impact of the ordinance amendments on his property and encouraged the Board not to support the proposed amendment.

Mr. David Root, representing the Richmond Homebuilders Association, stated the issue is very complex and touches on a wide variety of concerns including legal issues. He requested that the Board defer adoption of the proposed amendments until the impact of application of the proposed ordinance is fully known.

Mr. William Shewmake, a Midlothian District resident, expressed concerns relative to the expansion of what constitutes a perennial stream. He stated the ordinance amendments could devastate the 288 Corridor, which is the county's economic engine. He expressed concerns relative to the definition of perennial and stressed the necessity for a map depicting perennial streams in the county in order to enforce the ordinance fairly. He requested that any model that is adopted dispositively state that a body of water that is perennial in a normal precipitation year will have an unceasing flow and that the definition of perennial not be expanded. He also requested that the county take a leadership role and lobby the General Assembly to clarify the proposed amendments. He stated he agrees with Mr. Cogbill that jurisdictions west of Interstate 95 should also be included in the mandate.

Mr. Bill Hastings, a Matoaca District resident, stated he supports the proposed ordinance, indicating that preservation of extensive resource protection areas is important to maintain water quality in the county and, ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. He further stated he, too, believes the ordinance should be mandated throughout the entire Chesapeake Bay Watershed, not just jurisdictions east of Interstate 95. He stated adoption of the ordinance appears to be the prudent thing to do in order to be in compliance with state law.

Mr. George Beadles, a resident of Clover Hill District, expressed concerns that this issue has not already been brought to the General Assembly by the county.

Dr. Betty Hunter-Clapp, a resident of the Clover Hill District, stated the proposed ordinance amendments are designed to protect water throughout the state. She expressed concerns that men and women are suffering because of loss in the fishing and recreational industries. She stated she believes giving up the use of land is a worthwhile sacrifice to protect the future of our water supply.

Mr. Chris Salle, a resident of Mount Hermon Road, stated he will lose approximately 26 acres of his property if the proposed amendments are adopted. He expressed concerns that the current ordinance is not being properly enforced along the Swift Creek Reservoir.

Mr. Bryan Buniva stated he recently represented the City of Richmond in defending a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act decision that was challenged by a developer, and the court ruled that the city did not have the power under state law and regulations to impose a resource protection area on the developer's property. He further stated the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court chose not to take it.

No one else came forward to speak to the ordinance amendments.

Mr. Warren stated that Mr. Buniva's comments reaffirmed that he is not comfortable enough with the details to adopt the proposed ordinance amendments and does not know whether the state realizes what they have imposed.

Mr. King stated, as a biology major, he cares greatly about the value of our environment and natural resources. He further stated he was elected to represent the best interest of the citizens, and he does not believe that taking their land and offering no tax relief seems fair or reasonable. He stated there must be a better alternative, and he will not support the proposed ordinance amendments.

Mrs. Humphrey stated she does not believe the ordinance amendments represent good science. She noted that Chesterfield has been a leader in the Commonwealth in addressing water quality and non-point source pollution with its phosphorous loading ordinances and stream programs. She stated she is not prepared to support the proposed amendments without a map and data relative to perennial streams in the county.

Mr. Barber expressed concerns that, as a Dillon Rule state, the county must accept what is passed by the General Assembly. He stated Board members take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia, as well as the laws of Virginia, indicating that the Constitution says, private property cannot be taken by the government without certain direct purposes. He stated the dilemma is whether to err on the side of the law that has been passed or on the side of the Constitution we all embrace, indicating that he has issues with the ordinance amendments as they have been presented.

Mr. Miller stated, according to the Constitution, no property can be taken for a government purpose without the payment of just compensation, except in cases that demand public necessity and the government can exercise police power. He further stated he does not believe the Board should tread lightly when dealing with the protection of private property rights. He stated he does not believe the proposed ordinance amendments represent the best efforts of the state, indicating that a relatively small number of people would be burdened to benefit the larger group of people in the Commonwealth. He further stated he believes the ordinance amendments represent an unfair and unreasonable burden, and are nebulous in many ways, including the definition of perennial. He stated he is not prepared to support the ordinance and feels that it should perhaps be revisited down the road by the General Assembly.

Mr. Barber expressed concerns that the Board is being asked to adopt an ordinance that they could not explain the ramifications of to anyone.

Mr. Barber then made a motion for the Board to table consideration of the ordinance and direct staff to provide mapping of streams in the county.

Mr. Micas stated the Board's procedures require deferral to a certain date.

When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated he believes the mapping process will take longer than six months.

Mr. Barber stated he believes it is vital to communicate to the General Assembly the local impact of the proposed ordinance.

Mr. Barber then amended his motion to defer the public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance until November 23, 2004 and direct staff to advise the Board regarding its progress with the mapping of county streams.

Mr. King seconded the motion.

Mr. Warren requested that Mr. Micas provide additional details to the Board relative to the court case Mr. Buniva referred to.

Mr. Miller called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. King, for the Board to defer the public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance until November 23, 2004 and direct staff to advise the Board regarding its progress with the mapping of county streams.

Ayes: Miller, Barber, Humphrey, King and Warren.
Nays: None.

On motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. King, the Board suspended its rules at this time to consider items after 11:00 p.m.

Ayes: Miller, Barber, Humphrey, King and Warren.
Nays: None.

16.B. TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SALES AND REPAIR IN C-3 AND C-4 ZONING DISTRICTS

Mr. William Poole stated this date and time has been advertised for a public hearing to consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance relating to motor vehicle sales and repair in C-3 and C-4 zoning districts. He further stated staff worked with automobile dealers and the Planning Commission and drafted an alternative to the original proposal (Amendment B-1). He stated the Planning Commission recommended denial of the original proposal that would require a Conditional Use in every district and approval of Amendment B-1 that would leave motor vehicle sales as a restricted use in C-3 and C-4 districts and add an eighth restriction relative to new dealerships located within a shopping center. He further stated a minor change is being suggested to correct a grammatical error in Section 19-159(f)(8), and noted the automobile dealers support the change. He stated staff recommends approval of Amendment B-1, including the language change presented.

Mr. Miller called for public comment.

Mr. Roger Habeck, representing the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce, stated used car lots are essential to revitalizing economic activity in depressed areas. He further stated Amendment B-1 deals with the shopping center issue and has the support of automobile dealers. He requested that the Board approve Amendment B-1.

Mr. Bill Johns, Vice President of AES Engineers, representing Richmond BMW, stated he has designed 14 of the automobile dealerships in Chesterfield County. He further stated Amendment B-1 works very well for everyone concerned and encouraged the Board to support it.

Mr. Jimmy Davis, representing Davis Auto Sales, and President of the Virginia Independent Automobile Dealers Association, stated he supports Amendment B-1. He noted the used car industry is vital to the state and county's economy.

There being no one else to speak to the ordinance amendments, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Barber made a motion, seconded by Mr. King, for the Board to adopt Amendment B-1, including the language change.

Mr. Miler called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. King, for the Board to adopt the following ordinance:
