8.B.5.e. TO CONSIDER A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE
INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN FOR CHESTERFIELD RELATIVE
TO LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS COUNTYWIDE
Ms. Brenda Stewart requested the Board not set a public
hearing on the proposed amendment due to the lack of
community meetings countywide.
No one else came forward to address this item.
Ms. Durfee thanked Ms. Stewart for having. written comments
prepared for the Board. She expressed concerns relative to
the lack of countywide community meetings and stated the
meetings are needed prior to a public hearing on this item.
Mr. Gecker stated the proposal contains deficiencies in
regards to the functional capacity versus design capacity.
He further stated the School Board will be involved in the
countywide visioning process the Board has begun. He stated
a dialogue needs to be in place with the citizens regarding
what level of service standards they would like to have in
the schools and also the size of the schools in the
community. He further stated the Board is premature going
forward with this proposal, knowing the countywide vision
will be worked on in the future.
Ms. Durfee inquired whether the Board could have this
proposal studied by the Planning Commission to allow them to
have the dialogue with the community.
Mr. Gecker stated the schools level of service standards
should be kept at the Board level to prevent duplication of
resources.
Ms. Durfee stated if this item is sent to the Planning
Commission then the Commissioners would have the opportunity
to have community input which would be available while going
through the comprehensive plan.
Mr. Gecker stated work on the Comprehensive Plan should begin
around January 2009, which would be the same time this item
would come back to the Board, and it could be directed then
to the Planning Commission.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Gecker stated the
level of service standards for Schools is still incorporated
within the Upper Swift Creek Plan.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Turner stated
dialogue is under way with the school system.
Ms. Durfee stated community meetings were held in the Upper
Swift Creek area on the level of service for schools, and
this recommendation is separate from those.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Gecker stated the
effects of the level of service standards in the Upper Swift
Creek Plan will not be seen immediately in the school system.
He further stated it will not have a short-term effect on
school overcrowding and the Board will have completed the
08-513
07/30/08
Comprehensive Plan process before any impacts are seen in the
Upper Swift Creek area.
Mr. Holland stated community involvement is important in the
process of building new schools, and the level of service
standards would be best handled in the Comprehensive. Plan
process.
On motion of Mr.
deferred setting
the Introduction
levels of service
for schools countywide to January 14, 2009.
Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland and Durfee.

Ms. Andrea Epps expressed concerns relative to the safety of
the intersection of Charter Colony Parkway and Old Hundred
Road. She stated her inquiries about whether the open space
requirements in Waterford have been met have not been
answered. She requested the Board defer this request for 30
days to allow time to receive an answer from staff.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Ms. Epps stated the
Brandermill Community Association Board of Directors has not
had an opportunity to review this request.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Turner stated the
Planning Commission considered an amendment about two years
ago and the vote was unanimous.
Mr. Harmon stated the request has been reviewed and approved
by staff .
Mr. Aaron Breed, representing Balzer and Associates, stated
this item was before the Planning Commission on April 17,
2007.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Breed stated he was
unaware if the Brandermill Community Association reviewed the
project when it was previously before the Planning
Commission. He further stated he would not object to a
deferral to allow the Brandermill Community Association time
to review the request.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
deferred the designation of a Virginia Department of
Transportation sight distance easement along Genito Road
until September 24, 2008.

ASSOCIATION TO STAGE A FIREWORKS DISPLAY AT THE

displays may contain toxic ingredients which would fall into
the Swift Creek Reservoir. He further stated the Board
should not grant approval for this item until more research
can be performed.
Mr. Michael Brandon spoke in opposition to the request for a
fireworks permit.
Mr, Bill Johns encouraged the Board to take a look at how the
fireworks impact water quality of the reservoir.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Robbie Dawson
stated there have not been any complaints received by the.
Fire Department in regards to the fireworks display. He
further stated in his research he was able to find evidence
of a slight increase of phosphorus, over a 10-year span in a
smaller body of water at Epcot Center in Florida.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Covington stated
there has been no change in the quality of raw water removed
from the Swift Creek Reservoir following fireworks displays.
He further stated changes may be noticed if the fireworks
displays were staged once a month.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Dawson stated
according to Dominion Fireworks, the products in the raw
fireworks do get consumed.
On motion of Ms. Durfee, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board
approved a request for a permit for Woodlake Community
Association to stage a fireworks display at the Woodlake
Pavilion/Amphitheater on August 30, 2008, with a rain date of

In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Chief Mauger stated
there will be additional items that come before the Board.
He further stated the Fire Department had studied what would
be the most cost effective way to correct the problem with
the parking lots at the stations and have found it is best to
08-515

replace the parking lot then to simply patch the problem
areas.
Ms. Durfee expressed appreciation to Chief Mauger for the
Fire Department studying the most cost effective way to
correct the issues with the parking lots.

Services Board for use of their facilities.
In response to Mr. Decker's question, Mr. Braunstein
explained funding for Chesterfield Alternatives comes from
Medicaid, federal and state funding, and rent paid by
consumers, of which some receive disability. He stated the
county does lease space from Chesterfield Alternatives.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Braunstein stated
staff in the homes are Chesterfield County employees funded

Mr. Decker stated the Board was not given information as to
what programs in the county would be affected by choosing the
option to shift the obligation back to the county. He
further stated the county should keep state obligations with
the state.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's and Mr. Decker's questions, Mr.
Stegmaier stated localities were not directed by the General
Assembly which state-funded programs to reduce funding for to
assist with satisfying the county's share of a statewide
J
J
J
08-516
07/30/08
reduction in state revenue. He further stated this could
give the General Assembly a signal that state-aid to certain
programs was not needed and take the chance for them not to
send the aid next year to those programs.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the Board does have the option to not cut any of the programs
and the state will pro-rate cuts across the board to all of
the programs.
Mr. Gecker requested a list of which programs would be
affected by these cuts . He stated he would like to talk to
the delegation regarding these cuts and their ability to
handle this legislatively next year.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the choice selected was the wrong one.
She further stated the county needs to ensure it is paying
for priority programs.
Ms. Durfee stated the revenue reduction could be permanent
unless the General Assembly reverses it. She further stated
the delegation should be followed up with a letter.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Durfee, the Board

for Chesterfield County to satisfy its share of a statewide
$50 million reduction in state revenue for local governments
in FY2009.

8.B.5. SET DATES FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS
8.B.5.a. TO CONSIDER THE CREATION OF A NEW REGIONAL
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT AREA AND CONSORTIUM TO BE
KNOWN AS THE CAPITAL REGION WORKFORCE PARTNERSHIP
FOR THE PURPOSE OF DELIVERING WORKFORCE SERVICES TO
THE REGION
Ms. Jaeckle stated she would like to see the performance
outcomes on the consortium.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Ms. Dickson stated the
Policy Board representatives are designated by the Board of
Supervisors. She further stated currently she is the
designee for Chesterfield County for the Workforce Policy
Board and a representative from Economic Development is the
designee for the Workforce Investment Board. She stated she
would get the outcome information to the Board.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Ms. Dickson stated the
weighted voting method has been in place for the Policy
Board, but has not been activated due to votes and decisions
not necessitating it. She provided an explanation of how the
weighted voting methodology was derived. She stated
currently the governing bodies of the localities involved
have not raised any concerns relative to the consolidation or
weighted voting.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the straight population voting methodology
makes more sense.
08-517
07/30/08
Ms. Dickson stated after lengthy conversations, the
localities working on the consolidation agreed to this
approach which included components other than just the
straight population voting methodology. She further stated
the pro-rata votes are not affected by this method of voting.
The pro-rata is the same now versus prior to the
consolidation.
Mr. Holland stated the weighted voting methodology merits
consideration going forward with this item.
On motion of Ms. Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Board
set August 27, 2008, at 6:30 p.m., for the Board to consider
the creation of a new Regional Workforce Investment Area and

8.B.5.b. TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Steven Haasch
stated staff wants to review the Plan on a consistent basis
and keep it current with county demographics and population
factors.
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. Haasch stated
staff is looking at this amendment as an interim measure to
bridge the gap between the Comprehensive Plan update and
because the current Public Facilities Plan is becoming out of
date. He further stated the Plan could be reviewed again
along with the Comprehensive Plan. He provided an overview
of the anticipated timeframe for the Plan updates. He stated
there have not been any community meetings held for the
Public Facilities Plan, except for at the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors levels.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to amending the
Public Facilities Plan before the countywide Comprehensive
Plan is done.
Mr. Haasch stated the individual departments' recommendations
were used to craft the amended Public Facilities Plan and to
be used as an interim measure.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the county is looking at two to four years before the next
bond referendum.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Turner stated staff
would like to be before the Board in three years with a
comprehensive Public Facilities Plan that would reflect the
vision of the community that is identified during the
Comprehensive Plan update. He further stated this will serve
as an interim measure for staff.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Turner stated the
Board could defer this item, but staff is trying to update
J
J
J
08-518
07/30/08
this document for their own use in making public facility
recommendations.
Mr. Holland stated he preferred not to delay the Public
Facilities Plan.
Mr. Haasch stated the Site Selection Committee has multiple
sites being reviewed for public facilities based on the draft
Plan and awaiting adoption of the proposed Plan.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Haasch stated
delaying adoption of the Public Facilities Plan could make it
difficult for some site acquisitions for public facilities.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Haasch stated the
draft Plan is a substantial departure from how the 2004
Public Facilities Plan was derived since the individual
departments made their own recommendations and it was
reviewed by the County Administration. He further stated the
Planning Commission unanimously approved adoption of the
proposed Public Facilities Plan.
Mr. Gecker made a motion, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, for the
Board to defer setting a public hearing to consider amending
the Public Facilities Plan to January 14, 2009.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she agreed with the deferral because the
goal is to achieve a countywide vision for the county, and
she does not feel six months will hinder that.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Turner stated staff
has work in preparation on the Public Facilities Plan to get
the recommendation ready for the Board.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns relative to the county
departments using this project to set their budgets and
holding them up in their process.
Mr. Holland stated it is important to realize the
Comprehensive Plan is not going to happen overnight and time
is of the essence.
Ms. Jaeckle stated by adopting the Public Facilities Plan,
the Board is agreeing to a 10 to 20 percent increase in
square footage per person for libraries and parks, which
costs money, and she feels the Board needs to review that
information. She further stated she is not prepared to
support that kind of increase.
In response to Mr. warren's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated if
a project comes up in the course of the CIP that would be
influenced by the changes in the Public Facilities Plan, they
would be brought back before the Board, if the Plan is
deferred.
Mr. Warren then called for a vote on Mr. Gecker's motion,
seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, for the Board to defer setting a
public hearing to consider amending the Public Facilities
Plan to January 14, 2009.
Ayes: Gecker, Jaeckle, and Warren.

8.B.5.c. TO CONSIDER PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO COUNTY CODE
SECTION 19-6 RELATING TO CIVIL PENALTIES FOR ZONING
VIOLATIONS
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated staff
is requesting the Board to consider doing away with the civil
penalty side of zoning enforcement and rely totally on
criminal penalty.
Mr. Gecker stated the Board has asked the County
Administrator to work on a Neighborhood Preservation Plan,
which will include proactive zoning enforcement. He further
stated he felt it was premature to criminalize all zoning
violations when part of the Neighborhood Preservation Plan
will be enhanced zoning enforcement. He stated he would like
to have the Board discuss with the judges the importance of
appropriate enforcement of zoning ordinances.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
took no action on the proposed amendment to County Code
Section 19-6 relating to civil penalties for zoning ordinance
violations until the Neighborhood Preservation Plan has been
considered.
Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland and Durfee.

Master Plan update for the airport.

issues relating to transportation, the environment, and

solutions.

there are only seven issues that have been identified to be
resolved. He further stated the Board needs to make a
decision with regard to each of those issues. He expressed
concerns relative to off-site road improvements which he
understands the developer is willing to address. He stated
the issues that have been identified include: stormwater
management; off-site transportation; Ms. Durfee's proposals
of a transportation phasing plan, which would require a new
traffic study at each phase and phasing the commercial in
with residential; size of school in Roseland; reservation of
additional school site; and the Charter Colony concerns. He
further stated as the Board makes decision that will affect
the county, staff, the public and the Board should be given
ample time to look at the requested amendments.. He stated
the Board should take the 30-day deferral to address the
issues identified.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the Board should hear the case because of
the number of citizens who attended the meeting and if it was
going to be deferred, the citizens should have been notified.
She further stated she sympathized with the adjacent
residents, who may have concerns. She stated she would
rather hear a zoning case and then defer if there are
concerns raised.
Mr. Holland stated he regretted that the Board has to defer
the case. He further stated the county has a responsibility
to be exemplary stewards of the public trust, and to continue
to defer cases is not best for the county. He stated
Roseland is a case that merits consideration.
Mr. Warren stated Roseland is a good case, and he would not
have supported more than a 30-day deferral. He further
stated the case will be good for the county and will link the
development in Centerpointe with the Watkins Centre. He
stated Mr. Gecker clearly defined the concerns. He requested
Ms. Durfee to summarize .the issues for the developer and the
Board.
Ms. Durfee again expressed appreciation for the citizens

to Ordinance requirements. Residential use of up to 3.63
units per acre is permitted in a Residential (R-12) District.
The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate
for residential use of 1.0-2.5 dwelling units per acre. This
request lies on 4.2 acres fronting on the southern terminus
of Stockport Place and the western terminus of Hereld Green
Drive. Tax ID 748-674-3597.
Ms. Jane Peterson presented an overview of Case 08SN0159.
She stated the Planning Commission recommended approval,
citing the proposal is compatible with area residential
development, and staff recommended denial, due to the request
failing to address typical quality design standards for lots
having an area less than 12,000 square feet.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Ms. Peterson stated
approximately two-thirds of the property is zoned
agricultural.
Ms. Carrie Coyner, the applicant's representative, stated the
applicant disagrees with staff's recommendation. She further
stated the request has been recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission. She stated this is an infill project.

Subdivision Ordinance allows a reduced lot frontage for cul-
de-sac lots. She explained the Subdivision Ordinance
requires a 200-foot buffer along Route 288.

In Matoaca Magisterial District, CELLCO PARTNERSHIP d/b/a
VERIZON WIRELESS requests amendment to Conditional Use
Planned Development (Case 99SN0257) and amendment of zoning
district map relative to tower height. 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 2.0 units per
acre or less. This request lies in an Agricultural (A)
District on 10.0 acres fronting approximately 98 feet on the
08-547
07/30/08
north line of Genito Road approximately 2300 feet west of
Weatherbury Place. Tax ID 709-689-Part of 3444.
Mr. Robert Clay presented an overview of Case 08SN0236. He
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval, citing
that increasing the height of an existing tower would not
affect area properties. He further stated staff recommends
denial, citing the request does not conform to Public
Facilities Plan or the Tower Siting Policy.
Mr. Chuck Rothenburg, the applicant's representative, stated
the request is to amend a Conditional Use to allow an
existing tower to be increased in height. He further stated
the Planning Commission's recommendation is acceptable. He
stated approval of the request will improve cell phone
coverage in the area.
Mr. Warren asked for public comment.
Ms. Marie Stellar stated the Tower Siting Policy needs to be
reviewed before allowing any new towers to be placed near
residential property.
Ms. Durfee suggested a review of the Tower Siting Policy to
insure that citizens have cell phone service in the case of
an emergency. She stated if the request was for a new tower,
she would not be supportive.
Mr. Gecker stated a substantial amount of time was spent on
the Tower Siting Policy. He explained the increased height
would necessitate lighting of the tower in which case the
impact would be different.
Mr. Holland expressed a concern that adequate attention be
given to proper location of towers in the county.
On motion of Ms. Durfee, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
approved Case 08SN0236.
Ayes: Warren, Jaeckle, and Durfee.
Nays: Holland and Gecker.

18.A. TO CONSIDER PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO PLANNING
DEPARTMENT FEES
Mr. Glenn Larson provided a brief summary of the additional
information provided to the Board, which incorporates the
staff recommendation to set rates for FY2009 and would allow
the County Administrator to adjust the fees no higher than 80
percent.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.
Mr. Neil Lappe, President of Chesterfield Chamber of
Commerce, spoke in the opposition of the increase of Planning
Department fees. He stated the Chamber suggests the county
review the Planning process and consider a different fee
schedule for commercial and residential.

In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated,
at the last meeting, Mr. Gecker requested staff to look into
an option which equalized the 60 percent cost recovery. He
further stated staff received numerous requests from
individual Board members, so there were three options
presented.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Holland stated the
60 percent cost recovery amendment was not reviewed at the
Budget and Audit Committee meeting.
Mr. Holland made a motion, seconded by Mr. warren, for the
Board to adopt the 80 percent cost recovery for residential
and 70 percent cost recovery for commercial.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the county should not try to recover costs
for what the county values. She expressed concerns relative
to the 80 percent cost recovery option.
Ms. Durfee made a substitute motion, seconded by Mr. Holland,
for the Board to adopt an 80 percent cost recovery for
residential and 65 percent cost recovery for commercial.
Mr. Warren called for a vote on the motion of Ms. Durfee,
seconded by Mr. Holland, for the Board to adopt the following

18.B. TO CONSIDER AMENDING SECTION 19-238 OF THE ZONING
ORDINANCE AS IT RELATES TO POST-DEVELOPMENT STORMWATER
RUNOFF IN THE SWIFT CREEK RESERVOIR WATERSHED
~.
Mr. Rob Robinson provided an overview of the three versions
of the Upper Swift Creek Plan Phosphorus Amendment. He
stated the Planning Commission and staff recommend denial of
the original version of the amendment. He further stated the
Planning Commission cited several concerns with the amendment
such as the standard being unattainable, it would create a
hardship on future business development, it would impact
economic development projects and neo-traditional development
in the county, and would put the county at a disadvantage to
the neighboring localities which have a standard of .45.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Robinson stated
the county would monitor the in-lake phosphorus levels using
protocol set up by the state.
Mr. Warren stated there is a feeling among many Board members
to defer this item for many months.
Mr. Gecker stated he would not support a 3-month deferral
because it will not add to the information already before the
Board. He further stated he would support a longer deferral
if the Board is not going to work through the amendment.
Ms. Durfee stated some of the Board members are not
comfortable considering the current proposals. She further
stated it is a very complex issue and the data and formula
needs to be taken into account. She stated a deferral may be
appropriate to allow more time to make a better
determination.
Mr. Warren stated the citizens need to know there is the
possibility the proposal will be deferred. He then called
for public comment.
Ms. Lee Diller urged the Board not to compromise with the
health of the Upper Swift Creek Reservoir.
Ms. Ann Brandon, an area resident, spoke in opposition to the
proposed amendment. She stated the amendment appears to be
an attempt to stop all growth in the Upper Swift Creek Area.
Mr. Michael Brandon spoke in' opposition to the proposed
amendment.
Mr. Jamie Shelton stated saving trees increases home values
and assists with flood protection.
Ms. Carolyn Turner, a resident of Midlothian Turnpike, spoke
in opposition to the proposed amendment and read an excerpt
from the book "Government Pirates."
Mr. Joe Orcutt stated no documentation is available showing
the reservoir is failing.
Mr. Ben Durvin stated this amendment is a direct assault on
the rights of area property owners. He further stated the
documentation provided is inadequate.
08-553
07/30/08
Ms. Carson Kirk stated the reservoir is beautiful and a great
place to live. She inquired why new homes are being built on
the reservoir when there is a chance of them ruining the
county's drinking water. She also urged the Board to make
everyone responsible for the health of the reservoir.
Mr. William Shewmake stated the Upper Swift Creek area
encompasses a large amount of land and the proposed amendment
is not about preserving the Swift Creek, but is seen as an
inappropriate growth management tool.
Ms. Ellen Shelton stated water is an important resource and
recently, Robert Burnly, with the Department of Environmental
Quality stated Chesterfield did not have the water resources
to service large developments.
Mr. Josh Shoze stated he chose Chesterfield County to live
and work due to the county being business friendly. He
further stated the proposed amendment will send the signal
that Chesterfield is not business friendly.
Mr. Michael Bowen, representing 12 families in the Upper
Swift Creek area, spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendments.
Mr. Gary Armstrong spoke in opposition to the Board adopting
the lower standards in the proposed amendment.
Mr. Daniel Hubbard spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendment.
Mr. Chuck Rayfield, a member of Hands Across the Lake, stated
the Board of Directors voted to support .16 phosphorus
recommendation in the proposed amendment. He further stated
the proposal has technical credibility and will reduce
phosphorus levels in the reservoir. He urged the Board not
to accept a compromise on the health of the reservoir.
Mr. Sherwood Dance stated the .16 phosphorus run-off limit is
unattainable. He further stated the consideration has not
been given for area property owners.
Ms. Adel McClain, the Chair of the Conservation Group for
Falls of James Group, spoke in support of the .16 phosphorus
run-off level.
Mr. Tom Winfree, the President of Village Bank, stated he
will be opening a new location for their headquarters soon at
Watkins Centre. He further stated he is concerned the county
will be sending the wrong message to business if the .16
phosphorus run-off limit is adopted.
Mr. George Bryant urged the Board to deny the proposed
amendment, stating it will have an impact on residential
development.
Mr. Joe Owen stated the change in the phosphorus run-off to
.16 will close Chesterfield County to new business. He
further stated the proposed change is not based on legitimate
facts .
Mr. Andy Scherzer spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendment. He stated a change in the policy should be

grounded in facts, and county staff is not recommending this
proposal.
Mr. Joel Bradner, President of Brandermill Community
Association, spoke in support of the proposed amendment to
the phosphorus run-off limit.
Mr. Cliff Bickford spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendment. He expressed concern relative to the Board taking
action that is not necessary. He stated the proposed
amendment would do more harm than good for the county.
Mr. Neal Lappe stated the county will be closed for business
if the proposal is passed and will destroy the county's
ability to attract new business. He urged the Board to vote
no on the proposed changes.
Mr. Greg Koontz spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance
amendment. He stated there is no science to support the
change.
Mr. Billy Barbee spoke in support of the water quality
recommendations as proposed by Hands Across the Lake. He
stated the levels of phosphorus run-off proposed in the
amendment are attainable. He further stated the county needs
to be proactive when it comes to saving the reservoir.
Mr. Jeff Collins, a former member of the Watershed Committee,
stated during the process of setting the phosphorus run-off
limit currently in place an unbelievable amount of data was
presented to the committee. He further stated a compromise
was reached ten years ago with the Board setting the .22 run-
off level and no data is showing that the level needs to be
changed.
Ms. Carol Quinn, a member of the Woodlake Community
Association Board of Directors, spoke in support of the
proposed amendment reducing the phosphorus levels by twenty
percent. She stated adoption of the amendment would help
protect the reservoir.
Mr. Jay Lafler spoke in opposition to proposed amendment,
stating it will show the county is closed for business.
Ms. Kitty Snow spoke in support of more strict standards to
be placed on the reservoir.
Ms. Diana Parker, past Chair
stated she supports the .16
recommended by county staff.

Dr. Betty Hunter Clapp spoke in support of a deferral of the
proposed amendment to allow additional time to study.
Mr. Read Goode Jr., a commercial real estate developer, spoke
in opposition to the .16 proposed amendment.
Ms. Norma Szakal, a Hands Across the Lake member, spoke in
support of the 20% reduction to the phosphorus run-off limit.
Mr. Hugh Woodle stated he was concerned about the future of
Chesterfield. He further stated before adopting a lower run-
off limit, the issue should be fully explored.
08-555
07/30/08
Ms. Lenita Gilreath expressed concern relative to the effect
on economic development within the county if the proposed
amendment were adopted.
Mr. Bill Johns spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment
on phosphorus run-off levels and stated other efforts need to
be made to maintain the reservoir, such as dredging.
Mr. Dave Barthol, an engineer in the county, stated there has
been a down turn in the levels of phosphorus in the
reservoir. He urged the Board not to adopt the amendment.
Mr. Mark Tubbs urged the Board not to accept the compromise
on the phosphorus run-off levels and to keep the current
standards in place.
Mr. Ivan Woo urged the Board to balance the facts before
making a decision on the proposed amendment. He stated water
quality of the reservoir is not in jeopardy.
Mr. Peter Martin spoke in support for a twenty percent
reduction in phosphorus run-off limits for the reservoir.
Mr. Tom Pakurar, President of Hands Across the Lake, stated
the county should have a goal of no pollution. He further
stated technology has been developed to allow achievement of
the goal.
Mr. Stewart Holmes spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendment, stating the water quality is acceptable.
Ms. Carrie Coyner urged the Board to review the facts which
state the reservoir is healthy, to deny the proposed
amendments, and monitor the health of the reservoir.
Mr. Bob Schrum stated if the Board adopts the proposed
amendments, it will send the wrong message to business
owners.
Mr. Bill Woodfin spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendment.
Mr. Mike Harten, a Midlothian resident, spoke in support of a
compromise on the phosphorus run-off limits. He urged the
Board to defer decision on the amendment if more time is
needed to gather additional information.
Mr. David Reel, Executive Vice President of the Homebuilders
Association, stated the association did not send a letter to
residents trying to scare them into opposing the amendment.
Ms. Brenda Stewart addressed the Board regarding finding a
solution to the proposed amendment without putting a burden
on some land owners and not affecting others.
Mr. John Easter, representing the Chesterfield Business
Council, urged the Board to look at the science before making
a decision on the proposed amendment. He stated the
calculations are based on assumptions and not data.
Mr. Mark Smith expressed appreciation to the Board for
serving Chesterfield County.
08-556
J
07/30/08
Mr. Warren closed the public hearing.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to trying to find a
solution without identifying the problem. She stated the
options presented do not take into consideration other
solutions, such as dredging or the impact of lots currently
zoned but not developed on the reservoir. She further stated
if the depth of the reservoir is decreasing perhaps the
county should look into dredging to correct that problem.
Ms. Durfee expressed appreciation to the citizens for
attending the meeting and expressing their concerns.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier provided
a timeline of the history of the .16 proposed amendment. He
stated the Planning Commission voted against the amendment.
Ms. Durfee provided clarification on how the .16 amendment
came to the Board. She restated that she is uncomfortable
with the versions presented to the Board because of the
scientific data and the lack of determination of the
appropriate amount of run-off for the watershed. She stated
the county needs to review the formula used to calculate run-
off levels as well as the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen
in the reservoir. She addressed the statement concerning
being unable to reach lower standards, stating if better site
design were incorporated these levels would be attainable.
She stated she would like to defer this item to allow the
Board to make a solid decision and requested staff to
continue their work and provide the Board with information
regarding the state guidelines for run-off.
Mr. Gecker stated he would consider a deferral, but does not
believe a 90-day deferral would allow staff to provide any
useful information to the Board. He further stated he does
not believe the calibration study done last year by CH2M Hill
is usable. He agreed with the citizen comments relative to
the reservoir not being in a crisis at this time. He stated
the Board has some time to get scientific data to address
this issue. He further stated the environmental overlay is
the key to the watershed. He stated more information is due
to the county in the next year and the county should not
change any of the information that may be used to calculate
the data. He further stated the Board will revisit the land
use plan for the Upper Swift Creek area to discuss the
placement of BMPs.
Mr. Holland stated data should always be driving decisions
and he cannot support a lower number simply because it is on
the chart.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Scott Flanigan
stated one of the reasons the EPA and the Corps of Engineers
looked at the regional BMPs unfavorably was because they knew
there were other methods to remove the phosphorus much lower
than what we were looking at . He further stated the county
will still need to review the Watershed Master Plan and find
ways to remove phosphorus.
Ms. Durfee stated a deferral is needed so that the Board
members can receive the data from staff.
08-557
07/30/08
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Flanigan stated
staff will begin working on the Low Impact Development
manual, which will have tools to allow developers to meet the
.22 phosphorus limit right away. He further stated the
modifications to the watershed master plan will take more
time and more analysis for existing developments and
retrofitting with regional BMPs. He stated it would be at
least a year out.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
took no action on amending Section 19-238 of the Zoning
Ordinance as it relates to post-development stormwater runoff
in the Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed.
Ms. Durfee stated the Board needs to be proactive by having
staff present options for the stormwater management plan.
Ms. Durfee then made a substitute motion for the Board to
defer action on amending Section 19-238 of the Zoning
Ordinance as it relates to post-development stormwater runoff
in the Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed for 6 months.
The substitute motion of Ms. Durfee failed for lack of a
second.
Mr. Gecker restated his motion for the Board to take no
action on amending Section 19-238 of the Zoning Ordinance as
it relates to post-development stormwater runoff in the Swift
Creek Reservoir Watershed, until the stormwater management
plan is received.
Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland, and Durfee.
Nays: None.
Mr. Warren made the motion, seconded by Mr. Holland, for the
Board to suspend its rules at this time to allow
consideration of additional items after 11:00 p.m.
