productive already, and it is probably one of the only jails
in the state with zero COVID-19 cases. He further stated

that, with COVID-19, this is a very unique time and a different
situation than most people will deal with. He discussed
staffing shortages, which are a problem in the state and the

the jail's most pressing issue is staffing. He further stated
Riverside Regional Jail staff are the lowest paid in the
region, and he is losing personnel to other jobs such as the
federal prison next door.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to when the last
financial audit was conducted, Colonel Leabough stated an audit
was conducted last week. He further stated the budget has a
$500,000 surplus and the inmate accounts fund has an

13.C. SCHOOL FINANCE UPDATE
Mr. Robert Meister, Chief Financial Officer for Schools, stated
preliminary FY20 results show approximately $23 million in
savings versus the revised budget. He further stated Schools
is preparing to return students to in-person learning quickly
which has limited its near-term financial flexibility. He
stated Schools' FY21 position contains several unknowns, but
the Board's appropriation of CARES funds will help with
financial flexibility going forward. He stated a number of
steps were taken to lock in savings to ensure Schools ended
FY20 in a good financial position. He further stated measures
to reduce spending included furloughing temporary and
substitute personnel; freezing hiring for all non-essential
roles; eliminating overtime; suspending third -party custodial
services; saving on fuel and utilities; and restricting
operational expenses such as events and travel. On the revenue
side, he noted a $3 million reduction from the state and a $6
million reduction from the county, which results in a net
savings of $14 million.
In response to Ms. Haley's question relative to which positions
were furloughed, Mr. Meister stated primarily substitute
teachers and temporary work assignments were furloughed.
In response to Ms. Haley's question relative to the $13 million
in salary savings, Mr. Meister clarified the savings was
attributable to not only the furlough, but also the hiring
freeze and the elimination of overtime.
Ms. Haley stated the county took appropriate measures to
furlough employees who could not provide direct services to
citizens, and Schools may have been able to incur even more
savings if it had furloughed employees who are not providing
direct services. She asked to see how Schools employees have
been repurposed to provide direct services to students.
Mr. Meister stated the data is last year's results, and it is
true that Schools has been paying bus drivers with the
anticipation that those positions are incredibly difficult to
staff and there is currently a shortfall. He further stated
those bus drivers who are getting paid are working by either
driving buses for meal distribution, working in kitchens to
balance the shortfall in food services, or helping prepare
buildings for a return to school. He stated instructional aides
who are not teaching are assisting teachers to ensure
instruction is as good as it can possibly be. He assured the
Board that anyone who is being paid today is working and
contributing to the schools.
Ms. Haley pointed out that last year's results went through
June 30, and savings could have been realized for mid-March,
April, May and June. She stated the county had to take a hard
stance to ensure financial accountability to citizens, and it
is troubling to her that Schools' savings could have looked
significantly larger.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to the deadline
to spend CARES money, Mr. Meister stated Schools has additional
time to spend CARES money.
20-692
9/23/2020
Mr. Holland stated in November county staff will be providing
the Board with an update on CARES spending to ensure no funds
are lost and expressed his hope that Mr. Meister will do the
same.
Mr. Meister stated he anticipates coming back to the Board in
November with an update.
Mr. Ingle stated bus drivers and other employees not providing
direct services may have been hurt by being kept on the payroll
because they may have been able to earn more in unemployment
benefits.
Mr. Meister resumed his presentation with a discussion of the
FY21 Cost of Optionality. He stated Schools made several
decisions that limit financial flexibility such as maintaining
the option to re -open within two weeks as conditions allow;
ensuring teachers have access to school buildings; and aligning
instructional support to the in-person model.
In response to Ms. Haley's question relative to student
enrollment numbers, Mr. Meister stated enrollment counts are
taken on September 30, but Schools budgeted for approximately
62,000 students and it is approximately 2,000 below that
number.
In response to Ms. Haley's question relative to the state's
consideration of the higher enrollment number between this year
and last year to avoid an adverse impact on the state's funding
to local jurisdictions, Mr. Meister stated the General Assembly
has chosen not to act on that right now and to wait until
January when the state's revenue picture and statewide
enrollment numbers are better known. He further stated Schools
will use the lower number for planning purposes and pivot if
necessary.
Mr. Meister provided details of the FY21 Financial Position.
He stated the Average Daily Membership (ADM) figure is the
biggest unknown on the Revenue side of the equation. He further
stated Schools anticipates a slightly lower collection of fees
and a lower sales tax. He stated Schools will return to the
Board in November with YE20 and FY21 updates. He further stated
risks on the Expense side of the equation include one-time
expenses such as technology, personal protective equipment
(PPE), absenteeism of teachers and the need for substitutes.
He reviewed ongoing expenses such as counselors and ESL
positions and nurses.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to state funding
for nurses, Mr. Meister stated nurses are not funded by the
state in the current formula.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Meister confirmed
the state is not funding nurses, and CARES funds are being
utilized in the near-term.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question relative to what nurses
are doing presently, Mr. Meister stated nurses are currently
in the hiring process and will start between now and November.
20-693
9/23/2020
He further stated nurses will be available to support the
Special Education population returning to in-person learning
next week.
Mr. Carroll stated Schools is hiring nurses utilizing limited
CARES funds with no commitment to pay for them next year. He
inquired about the plan if the state does not provide funding
for nurses.
Mr. Meister indicated Schools would inform the Board should
there be a need for additional funding for nurses.
Mr. Carroll stated the county's financial position for next
year is unknown, and Schools may have to lay off nurses next
year unless Schools is able to find money in the budget.
Mr. Meister noted that some reduction may occur naturally due
to turnover, but stated he understood Mr. Carroll's point.
Mr. Winslow expressed his displeasure with unfunded mandates
from the state.
Ms. Haley observed the quandary of keeping personnel in
difficult -to -fill positions, such as bus drivers and nurses,
during the pandemic. She echoed Mr. Winslow's displeasure with
unfunded mandates.
Mr. Carroll encouraged citizens to communicate with their
legislators to get state funding for nurses.
Mr. Meister continued his presentation with an overview of
CARES funds allocations and the timeline for spending those
funds.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to the $106,000
allocated for private schools, Mr. Meister explained that, as
the recipient of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency
Relief (ESSER) Funds for the whole county, Schools is required
to make a contribution from those funds to private schools in
the county.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to the schedule
for returning to in-person learning, Mr. Meister stated the
first cohort of highest -need special education students will
return next week. He further stated the School Board will
discuss what comes next at its next meeting. He stated Schools
is prepared to bring back the next three cohorts in two-week
intervals as health metrics and safety allow.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to any unique
transportation arrangements or needs, Mr. Meister stated buses
will not be able to hold as many students. He further stated
the benefit of returning in groups is the reduction in demand
on the buses. He stated Schools has asked the community to help
transport students to school. He further stated transportation
would not be the reason schools do not reopen; it would be
dependent on health metrics.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question relative to health metrics
and the return to school, Dr. Mervin Daugherty, Superintendent
20-694
9/23/2020
of Schools, stated under Risk Management and Health Department
guidelines there is a maximum of fifty percent capacity per
classroom.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question, Dr. Daugherty stated if
the guidelines change to allow a full return, Schools is ready
to bring everybody back. He further stated a full return to
school would help every school district in the nation by
alleviating staffing concerns. He stated principals are told
to prepare like there is a return to school, and virtual
schedules are running the same as in-person learning.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to the number
of teachers lost since March due to COVID-19, Dr. Daugherty
stated Schools has received over 400 resignations.
In response to Mr. Holland's question relative to hiring, Dr.
Daugherty stated Schools has hired more people this year than
ever, but there are a lot more vacancies to fill. He explained
that virtual hiring started early summer. He stated hiring is
a serious problem for Virginia and region wide.
Mr. Carroll pointed out that vacancies and hiring concerns go
along with Mr. Ingle's question relative to Schools' ability
to initiate a full return to school.
Dr. Daugherty stated principals have done a great job getting
ready and being flexible, and he stated all district staff who
are eligible to teach are on a substitute list. He further
stated over 140 people have signed up to fill in.
Ms. Haley stated much of the frustration comes from having
children during a pandemic and assuring them everything will
be alright. She expressed her confidence in the community to
be helpful and forgiving. She stated communication will
alleviate anxiety.
Dr. Daugherty stated he is encouraged by health reports
Ms. Haley expressed appreciation for the update.

of the community.
Ms. Haley called for public comment.
Mr. Thomas Bradbury expressed his concerns relative to
insufficient drainage due to impermeability.
Ms. Andrea Crabtree expressed her opposition to the case due
to the negative effect on property values and the precedent it
will set for the Hallsley community.
Ms. Milan Hale expressed her concerns relative to the negative
precedent that will be set in the neighborhood and squeezing
the 3,000 -square -foot second dwelling onto half an acre with
the 4,700 -square -foot main dwelling.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
In response to Ms. Haley's question relative to drainage
concerns, Mr. Jesse Smith, Deputy County Administrator, stated
the additional impervious surface will add drainage, but the
channel located behind the homes is adequate to handle that.
He further stated the county plans to perform regular
maintenance with its own drainage crews next week.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to a study to
determine a negative effect on property values, Mr. Smith
stated staff is not aware of such a study.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to the Resource
Protection Area (RPA), Mr. Smith stated the applicants would
be required to stay out of the RPA, and they would not be
permitted to damage the RPA.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to the county's
routine approval of second dwellings for parents, Mr. Smith
stated this request is very similar to past requests.
Ms. Haley stated as part of the Midlothian Community Special
Area Plan, there have been significant conversations about
auxiliary dwellings or other dwellings on properties that would
not necessarily be restricted to just family. She further
stated that model and that type of use is very attractive in
many other successful areas around the country. She stated the
Implementation Committee will be looking to draft ordinances
to accommodate and allow that type of use. She further stated
the real question is looking at quality and how it works with
the existing design of a property.

In response to Mr. Ingle's question relative to buildable area,
Mr. Ellis confirmed the proposed second dwelling does fit in
the buildable area according to county standards.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question relative to the
installation of a stove, Mr. Ellis stated without a stove, the
building would not be considered a second dwelling.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question, Mr. Ellis confirmed the
decision to be made is whether the applicants can have an
addition without a stove or an addition with a stove.
On motion of Ms. Haley, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
approved Case 20SN0574 subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposed second dwelling shall be developed in
conformance with the conceptual site plan, titled
"Biringer Builders" and attached hereto as Attachment 2.

In Clover Hill Magisterial District, Sue Clements, Patsy
Stargardt and Graham Real Estate, LLC request an exception to
Section 18-60 of the utility ordinance for connection to the
public wastewater system, and the Chesterfield County Planning
Commission requests Conditional Use Planned Development for
ordinance and development standard exceptions and/or other
conditions, and amendment of zoning district map in a General
Business (C-5) District on 5.0 acres located at the southwest
quadrant of Genito and Warbro Road. Density will be controlled
by zoning conditions or ordinance standards. The Comprehensive
Plan suggests the property is appropriate for Industrial use.
Tax ID 735-689 Part of 5818.
Mr. Harold Ellis presented a summary of Case 20SN0593 and
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of both
requests; however, Utilities staff recommended denial of
20-706
9/23/2020
Request I and Planning staff recommended approval of Request
II.
Mr. Jim Theobald, representing the applicants, accepted the
conditions. He stated the exception is justified based on the
extraordinary length it would take to connect with no
additional users on the extension because it is all public
property in between.
Ms. Haley called for public comment.
There being no one to speak to the issue, the public hearing
was closed.
Mr. Winslow stated the area is in transition with many mixed
uses. He further stated the fieldhouse design at River City
Sportsplex is an example of how the architecture in the area
is shaping up.
On motion of Mr. Winslow, seconded by Mr. Carroll, the Board
approved Request I and Request II of Case 20SN0593 and accepted
the following proffered condition:
The property owner in this rezoning case (from C-5 to C-5 with
a CUPD), pursuant to Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia
(1950, as amended) and the Zoning Ordinance of Chesterfield
County, for themselves and their successors or assigns, proffer
that the approximately 5 acre property shown on that certain
"Complied Plat of a Parcel of Land Containing 15.747 Acres of
land Situated on the South Side of Genito Road, State Route
604, Clover Hill District, Chesterfield County, Virginia",
dated March 18, 2020, as prepared by Townes Site Engineering,
which is attached to the accompanying textual statement as
Exhibit C (the "Property") will be developed according to the
following proffer if, and only if, the requested rezoning and
the sewer exception requested herewith are granted with only
those conditions agreed to by the owner and applicant. In the
event this request is denied or approved with conditions not
agreed to by the owner and applicant, the proffers shall
immediately be null and void and of no further force or effect.

20SN0595
In Midlothian Magisterial District, Dominion Realty Partners,
LLC requests rezoning from Corporate Office (0-2) to
Multifamily Residential (R -MF) with conditional use planned
development to permit exceptions to parking, access
requirements, and development standards and amendment of
zoning district map on 26.9 acres located 770 feet northwest
of the intersection of Boulders Spring Drive and Boulders
Parkway, fronting the terminus of Boulder Springs Drive.

20-707
9/23/2020
standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for office/hotel. Tax ID 762-710-5792.
Mr. Ryan Ramsey presented a summary of Case 20SN0595 and stated
the Planning Commission and Transportation staff recommended
approval; however, Planning and Fire and Life Safety staff
recommended denial because the lack of a second public road
access reduces convenience and safety for residents.
In response to Mr. Carroll's question relative to the location
of the secondary access, Mr. Ramsey stated it is into the
adjoining office park development.
Mr. Jim Theobald, representing the applicant, stated this is
Phase II of a project approved by the Board 18 months ago. He
further stated the applicant has nowhere to go for emergency
access straight out to a public road. He stated the project is
hemmed in by Powhite Parkway on one side and significant
wetlands on the other. He further stated the applicant was able
to negotiate and document an access easement for gated access
across the office park, which meets the spirit of the policy
and ordinance regarding secondary access for this number of
units. He stated the agreement has been recorded in the Circuit
Court Clerk's Office, it provides for maintenance obligations,
and the access will be hard -surfaced all the way out to the
public road. He further stated the Boulders Owners Association
sent a supportive email, and there was dialogue with the
residential neighborhood to the south. He stated he was not
aware of any opposition to the case.
Mr. Ingle commended Fire and EMS staff for honoring his request
to provide more relevant information in staff reports. He
stated he had a discussion with Fire staff to understand their
concerns about the secondary access being gated. He further
stated Fire staff has no concerns about servicing the site as
long as the access is properly maintained. He stated he would
like to impose a condition requiring that the accesses,
including the secondary, gated emergency access, shall be
properly maintained, including snow removal, so as not to
impede their use by emergency vehicles.
Mr. Theobald agreed to the condition and stated it is
consistent with the written and recorded agreement.
Ms. Haley stated this is another great example of reinvestment
and revitalization in the Boulders area, and Mr. Ingle's
imposed condition is helpful to address concerns.
In response to Mr. Carroll's question relative to the gate,
Mr. Theobald stated gated access requirements can be
accomplished in a number of different ways, and the specific
details of this gate will be discussed and agreed upon with
Fire and EMS during site plan review.
In response to Mr. Mincks' question, Mr. Theobald agreed the
proffered conditions are reasonable under state law.
Ms. Haley called for public comment.

20SNO604
In Dale Magisterial District, Diana and Stephen Berkshire
request conditional use to permit parking and storage of a
recreational vehicle outside the rear yard and amendment of
zoning district map in a Residential (R-12) District on 0.3
acre known as 3817 Grizzard Dr. Density will be controlled by
zoning conditions or ordinance standards. The Comprehensive
Plan suggests the property is appropriate for Suburban
Residential II use (2.0 to 4.0 units per acre). Tax ID 768-
691-5166.
Mr. Ellis presented a summary of Case 20SNO604 and stated the
Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the case
because the parking location of the recreational vehicle (RV)
has substantial visual impact on adjoining neighbors and the
streetscape, and because the proposed screening measures will
not sufficiently mitigate the visual impact. He stated staff
has received no opposition to the case other than the initial
complaint, and two emails were received in support of the case.
Mr. Stephen Berkshire stated he has seen many occurrences of
recreational vehicles parked outside the rear yard. He
requested approval of his case.
Ms. Haley called for public comment.
20-711
9/23/2020
There being no one to speak to the issue, the public hearing
was closed.
Mr. Holland stated the essence of the case is the impact on
the neighbors, and he concurred with the assessment of staff
and the Planning Commission. He made a motion to deny Case
20SN0604.
Ms. Haley seconded the motion.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to screening of
the vehicle, Mr. Berkshire stated the agreement was to install
a fence in the front and on the side.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question, Mr. Berkshire stated he
does not always store the RV with the cover on, but he does
keep it covered in the winter to protect it from the elements.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question, Mr. Berkshire explained
the unsuitability of placing the RV behind the house.
In response to Mr. Ingle's question, Mr. Berkshire stated one
of the adjacent neighbors who supports the case plans to help
him with the fence.
Mr. Ellis stated staff worked with the applicants at length to
determine a way to adequately screen the RV, but the height of
the vehicle makes it heavily visible.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question, Mr. Ellis stated the RV
would be moved to the side of the house, but the concern is
screening it even in that location.
In response to Mr. Winslow's question relative to landscaping,
Mr. Ellis stated there is no way to landscape because the RV
would be parked in a single -width driveway. He further stated
a fence with a gate would help mitigate visibility.
Mr. Berkshire stated the house will block most of the view when
coming up the street, and the only time the RV will be seen is
when directly in front or approaching from down the road.
Ms. Haley called for the vote on Mr. Holland's motion, seconded
by Ms. Haley, to deny Case 20SN0604.
The motion failed.
Mr. Winslow made a substitute motion, seconded by Mr. Carroll,
for the Board to defer Case 20SNO604 for thirty days.

Case
Mr. Bradbury expressed
20SNO574
his opposition to Case
20SNO574 and stated a
second dwelling on a
property that is less
than one acre violates
the County Code, and
the dwelling will cause
problems with
stormwater runoff in
the area behind the
house.

Hale
Case
In reviewing the case
20SNO574
details of 20SN0574, 1
was disappointed to
learn that only
privacy/landscaping was
addressed by the
applicants. As an
adjacent property
owner, I want to further
underscore concerns
voiced during the June
11 virtual community
meeting and request
these concerns be
considered by the Board
of Supervisors.
Size and scale: the
request to approve a
3006 second dwelling
grossly challenges the
zoning conditions for
suburban residential I
use.
• The area under roof is
3006 SF in size. Per Mr
Petrowski ,during the
virtual meeting held on
June 11, the second
dwelling size is larger
than the average home
in Chesterfield County.
• The existing dwelling
is 4752 SF with
additional backyard
hardscape patio and
pool.
• The lot size is only .5
acre.
Precedent
• An approval will set
precedent for the
Hallsley subdivision and
Chesterfield County
