9.A. APPOIN~4BNT TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEMBER TO PLANNING
CO5~4I~$ION AI~D ITS RELATIONSHIP TO RESOLUTION CONCEP~NING
THE PROPER INVOLVEMEATT OF BOARD MEMBERS IN ZONING PROCESS
Mr. Dodd stated he had originated discussion of appointing a
Board meRlber to the Planning Commission at the Board's
organizational meeting in a response to a ~equest by Planning
Commission members for a representative of the Board to serve on
the Commission. He stated he felt having this representation
would provide a very valuable tool for communication and
education in the zoning process. He stated he had suggested
that Mr. Applegate serve as the ~oard's representative to the
Commission; however, subsequent discussions indicate a consensus
that the Vice Chairman of the Board would be the most
appropriate person to serve in this capacity and the individual
could decided whether or not he or she chooses to vote.
Mr. Dodd ~omi~ated Mr. Mayes for appointment as the Board of
Supervisor's representative to the Planning Commission, with the
decision of voting or not voting left to his discretion, which
formal appointment will be made at the February 11, 1987
meeting.
Mr. Mayes stated, although he was appreciative of the nomina-
tion, he did not feel it fair to other members of the Board that
one member be appointed £ro~ the Boar~ to ~erve' on the Planning
Commission. He stated to have a Board member serving during the
process in which the Cor~ission forms a recommendation on zoning
requests is a violation of fundamental management procedures and
volc~d his opposition.
Mr. Applegate stated, although approval of this action could
possibly be in violation of the zoning Policy, the Planning
commission members requested that a member of the Board be
appointed ae a liaison to provide guidance and a sense of
direction. He seconded Mr. ~odd's motion. ~e ~tated if
appointment is ~ade it may ~e necessaxy to suspend the ~ules to
readcpt the dHtie~ and responsibilities of the Vice Chairman and
to amend the Resolution Concerning the Proper Involvement of the
Board Members in the Zoning Process.
Mrs. Qixone requested that the Williamsburg Accord be brought
back for consideration as it may address the Board members'
relationships toward each other, the way in which the Board may
wish to conduct itself when one of its members is not in
agreement with the other members, etc.
Mr. Micas stated that State law requires that the appointment be
that Of an individual~ said appointment must be for the
remainder of the term coextensive with the Board's term and an
unfettered appointment regardless of the voting determination.
87-37
Mr. Hayes stated he felt Board members should abide by the
majority and~ even though he disagreed with the proposed action,
if he were to be appointed he would abide by the majority
decision.
Mrs. Girone stated she felt it is difficult, when Mr. Hayes has
a problem with the process, to impose such an appointment on him
and expect him to carry out the responuibilities.
A vote on the motion was as follows:
Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Dodd and Mr. Applegate.
Nays: Mr. Mayes and Mrs. Girone.
Mrs. Girone stated she would like to review the Williar~sb~rg
Accord as she previously indicated and requested the information
be provided to the Board at its next meeting.
Mr. Applegate stated the proposed action should also include
adopting the 1984 Resolution Concerning the Proper Involvement
of Board Members in the Zoning Process. Mr. Micas stated, in
order to make the policy consistent with the action of
appointment, the Board should adopt the Resolution Expressing
the Sense of the Board Concerning the Proper Involvement of
Board members in the Zoning Process, as submitted or
appropriately amended.
On motion of Mr. Dodd, $eoon~e~ by Mr. Applega~e, the Board
de~erred consideration of the Resolution Expressing the Sense of
the Board Concerning the Proper Involvement of Board Members in
the Zoning Process and further review of.the Williamsburg Accord
until February 11, 1987, to resolve concerns expressed by Board
members.
Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Dodd, Mr. ADplegate and Mrs. Girone.
Nays: Mr. Mayes.
9.B. MEDe CONTRIBUTION
Mr. Hedrick stated at the November 26, 1986, meeting the Board
considered a request by the Metropolitan Beono~io Development
Council ~er approval of additional M~DC funding in the amount of
$33,824. He stated the ~oard paper reflected there was ~o be an
appropriation made from the General Fund and the minutes of that
meeting re~lected such action. He stated,' however, at the time,
he had indicate~ an appropriation from the General Fund was not
necessary and the funding would b~ absorbed in the Economic
Development Budget.
Mr. Applegate and Mrs. Girone stated their intentions were that
the funding be absorbed by the Economic Development Department
budget, not appropriated from the General Fund.
Mr. Dodd stated he felt funding oi PS,DC is appropriate and
juetified as the County benefits substantially from its
contribution.
Mr. Daniel stated the question before the Board is whether or
not the minutes of November 26, 1986, should be amended or stand
as written.
Mr. Hedrick, in response to a question by Mrs. Girone, stated he
had originally understood the funding to ~EDC could be absorbed
in the Economic Development DepartMent's budget; however,
subsequent to the Board'z action and after further investigation
of ~he department's funding balances, it has been determined the
amount cannot be absorbed.
Mr. Applegate moved that the minutes of November 26, 1986, page
86-898, Item 9.D., Cheeterfield's Contribution to Metropolitan
Economic Development Council (MEDC), be amended to reflect that
87-38
the appropriation of $33,824 ~rom the General Fund was net the
intent of the Board and should read as follows:
"On motion o~ Mr. Girone, seconded by Mr. Applegate, the Board
approved ~ additional $33,824 to the Metropolitan Economic
Development Council (MEDC), which funds are to absorbed in the
Economic Development budget, and authorized the County
Administrato~ to take ~he necessary action to make Chesterfield
County's contribution.
Vote: Unanimous"
Mr. Daniel stated that, since the Board has been informed that
there are no funds available in the ~oonomic Development
Department's budget to absorb the additional co~tributio~ to
MEDC, it would be appropriate to address the issue of whether or
not to fund the addition of $33,S24 from the General Fund
Balance.
Mr. Applegate stated if the money were to be taken from the
General Fund Balance, such action would decrease the percentage
a~ount required to maintain the County's bond rating. He
suggested the funding be transferred from the Airport Industrial
Park Fund to the Economic Development Department's budget
to fund the additional contribution.
There was discussion as to the balance of the Airport Industrial
Park Fund, the appropriateness of ~his transfer, etc.
On motion of Mr. Applegate, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board
approved the transfer of $33,824 from the Airport Industrial
Park Fund to the Economic Development Department Account to fund
an~ ad~itlonal amount to the Metropolitan Economic Development
Council (MEDC) and authorized the County Administrator to take
the necessary action to make Chesterfield County's contribution.
Vote: Unanimous
9.C. APPOINTMENTS
9.C.1. DRUG ABUSE TASK FORCE
Ms. Daniel a%a~ed he would forego Dale District nominations for
the Drug Abuse Task Force at this time.

appointed Mr. Robert E. Brittle to serve on the Board of
Directors of the Metropolita~ Richmond Convention and Visitors
Bureau, whose term is effective i~mediately and will expire June
30, 1987.

NEW BUSINESS
ll.A. CHESTBR LANDFILL GEOTEC~/~ICAL STUDY
Mr. Howell stated proposals were solicited, received and
evaluated for conducting a study of the ground water in the
vicinity of the Chester Landfill which was closed in September,
1985. He stated staff reco~ends Sehnabel Engineering
Associates o~ Riob2nond as the best qualified firm to conduct the
87-39
study, for a fee of $35,000 which was previously appropriated by
the Beard on October 22, 1986.
There was discussion regarding expansion of the contrast to
include studies of other landfills, the diaparity between the
bids, qualifications of the companies, etc.
Mr. Mayas q~estio~ed the scope of the study. Mr. Howell stated
tha scope will include a review of all pertinent staff data and
knowledge surrounding the situation, an electromagnetic study of
the area to provide some indication as to the extent of the
contamination, installation of monitoring wells and ladd
analysis, testing ei certain compounds that will provide an
indication as to the extent of the problem and whether it is
necessary to conduct the entire spectrum of tests, testing for
methane gae~ migration off-site, air samples, eta. He stated
the cost of the study does not include any follow on or
engineering design work and, i~ necessary, that will have to be
negotiated as to the scope and fee.
Mr. Mayas questioned if the ~inal analysis of the study would
provide the Board with a basis upon which to determine whether
or not the water is potable. Mr. Howell stated it would.
Mr. Dodd stated ~e and Mr. Mayas met with staff regarding
concerns about the Chester Landfill and they were informed there
may De other landfill problems in the County, not only in
Chester area but also at the Ben Air Landfill. Be stated he
felt there should be some very preliminary investigations of old
landfills and that the Board, as well as the public, should be
aware that this issue ought to be properly addressed and not
neglected.
Mr. Daniel pointed out Landfill Management is one of the items
on the work session agenda which will be addressed by the Board
in the near future.
On motion of Mr. Mayas, seconded ly~ Mr. Applegate, the Board
approved and authorized the County Administrator to execute the
necessary documents to enter into a contract with Sehnabel
Engineering Associates of Richmond to conduct a ground water
study at the Chester Landfill, for a fee of $35,000, plus $5,000
for contingencies$ and approved the selection of Schnabel
Engineering Associates of Richmond for any follow on engineering
design work which may be necessary at a fee to be negotiated.
Vote; Unanimous
Mrs. Girone stated she was unaware of any problems r~lative to
the Ben Air Landfill and would like to have any pertinent
information that is available.
ll.B. CONFIR/V!ATION OF PREVIOUS APPROPRIATION TO COUNTY MUSEUM
Mr. Hammer stated the Board is being requested to approve and
reapprcpriate $33,333 to permit the Chesterfield County Museum
Committee to complete a book on the history o~ Chesterfield
County under the leadership of Dr. Louis Manarin, the State
archivist and i~inent historian in Virginia. ~ briefly
explained that the author w~o began the p~ject was unable to
complete it and the project has remained incomplete until this
time.
Mr. Mayas stated the Board funded this project in 1982 and,
although the money reverted to the General Fund in 1983, he felt
a moral commitment had been made and the ~unds should be
approved.
Mr. App!egate s~ated approval cf this request would further
deplete the General Fund Balance and suggested the issue be
considered during budget deliberations. Mr. Hedrick stated the
87-40
contribution for this project was made to the virginia Museum
Cer~ittee, however, only a portion of the money was actually
paid out and the balance of that money was not onc~I~bered.
Mr. Mayes stated the Museum committee has moved forward with
~his issue based on the availability of funding and are planning
accordingly; however, denying this request, at this time, would
interrupt the schedule by which it is planned to complete the
book.
Mrs. Girone stated the Beard's intent was to accomplish a book
and agreed with Col. Mayes in that continuity in momentum on
this project should be maintained.
~r. Applegate questioned hew long has staff known about the
problem. Mr. Ha~mmer stated the Museum sta£~ recently inquired
if the appropriation was encumbered, found it was not, and
it became necessary to request the Board to reappropriate the
money. Mr. Applegate reiterated his concern that the only
source of ~unding for this project would be the General Fund
and the fact that the deduction from this particular fund would
decrease the balaRce even further than the limit set by the
Board.
Mr. Dodd stated he felt the Board did commit to the Historical
Society~ however, he suggested that the issue be delayed for two
weeks.
Mr. Daniel requested that the County Administr&tor investigate
and inform the Board if there are any more similar situations of
this nature.
On motion of MJC. Mayes, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board
approved and reappropriated $33,333 from the General Fund to the
Museum Con~ittee~s Donation Account for expenses associated with
the completion of a history book for Chesterfield County, under
the leadership of Dr. Louis Manarin.
Mr. Applegate stated he would not support the motion, as he felt
delaying the project, so that it could be included in the budget
process, would not adversely affect it. Me stated there is a
policy on not going below the 5% in the General Fund which must
be adhered to.
Mr. Dodd made a substitute motion to defer the issue until
February ll, 1987. Mr. Applegate seconded the motion.
A vote on the substitute motion was as follows:
Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Dodd, Mr. ADple~ate and Mrs. Girone.
Nays: Mr. Mayes.

ll,D, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ITEMS
ll.D.1. 1986-87 RURAL ADDITION PROJECTS
Mr. McCracken stated staff is recommending that the Board advise
the Virginia Department of Transportation IVDOT) that no rural
87-41
addition project is requested for FY87 and that the funds
currently designated for rural additions be transferred to other
projects in %rDOT's Six Year Plan or carried forward to FY88. Ee
stated that, although th~ $150,000 VDOT allocation seems
insignificant, ove~ a six year period a significant amount of
funds is provided. He also stated the County has not budgeted
funds for rural additions.
Mr. Dodd questioned if this action would affect Oaklawn Road.
Mr. McCracken stated it would not. Mrs. Girone questioned the
status of Towerlight Road. Hr. Hecrackon stated Tcwerlight Road
did not qualify, as VDOT criteria dictates that right-cf-way be
dedicated or the road open to the public prior to July 1, 1977.
He stated the road might qllalify if the ~esiden~s of Towerlight
Road could produce evidence that the road wes open to the
public prior to that time.
Hr. Applegate stated VDOT only provides a small amount of
funding and the County should continue to address the necessary
rural addition needs.
Hrs. 6irene questioned what would happen to these roads if the
Board were to approve sta~'s recommendation. Hr. H¢Cracken
stated unless additional information could be provided to show
that the roads VDOT determined to be ineligible actually met
VDOT's criteria, the roads would not be eligible for VDOT funds.
He stated that all roads would remain in their current status
with no VDOT or County maintenance. Mrs. Girone stated it may
be wise to work away at these projects and attempt to get them
improved. She stated it may be necessary that the County would
have to allocate funds for these rural addition requests. Mr.
Daniel stated the Budget Committee will be addressing the issue
in the very near future. Mrs. Girone stated if the Board needs
the 1977 date changed, then such action should be included on

Mr. Welchons explained staff has recently completed a sewer
extension to residents along Friend Avenue, Ray,et Road and Jean
Drive and the residents have requested a reduced sewer
connection fee from $2500 to $1700. He stated staff is
recommending denial of the request because the Board has
consistently adhered to a policy to uniformly impos~ ~he
applicable connection fee at the time application for connection
is made and any deviation from that approach would severely
compromise the County's ability to collect uniform connection
fees while at the same time Jeopardize compliance with bond
covenants.
Mr. Dodd questioned if Reverend Edwards had been notified thi~
issue was to be discussed at this meeting. Mr. Welchons stated
there was no separate notification apar~ f~om the information
provided to him at a previous meeting regarding thi~ i~ue. Mr,
Dodd stated he did no% feel this issue should be discussed
without Reverend Edwards present.
On motion cf Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the Board deferred

residents south of Mrs. Heate's property have also expressed
concern that once the easement is obtained a sewer line will be
installed in the same easement. Mr. Welehons stated the
easement is for a water line only and, therefore, a sewer line
cannot be installed in it. Mrs. Girone stated the residents
would also like to know if sewer can be installed on a small
piece of property on Buford Road that does not have sewer and
asked i£ staff would notify the Board of the situation.

across the street from this site, however, pursuant to advice
from the County Attorney, he has been advised there is no
conflict of interest.

fronting approximately 365 feet on the south line of Drewrys
Bluff Road, and located in the southwest quadrant of the inter-
section of these roads. Tax Map 67-3 (1) Parcel 51 (Sheet 23).
Mr. Jacobsen stated the Board, at its December 10 meeting,
deferred this request, at the request of the applicant's
representative, for thirty (30) days to allow time to install
the required solid board fence along the southern property line
of the request site. He s~a~ed a site inspection revealed that
the board fence is being installed along the southern property
line, however, the fence does net meet the original conditions
cf zoning, nor is the required landscaping installed at this
time. Me stated the Planning Commission recommended denial of
this ~equest.
Mr. Dean Hawkins, representing the applicant, stated the current
request is for reduction in the fifteen (15) and fifty (50) foot
buffers along the northern and western boundaries to five (5)
feet to acco~cdate vehicular circulation on site. He stated
the southern bonndary buffer requirement, as originally imposed,
is net affected by this req%lest; however, efforts have been made
to install a fence and screening along the southern property
line, as requested by adjacent property owners.
Hr. Daniel s~ated at the December 10 meeting, the applicant's
agent committed to certain agreements and questioned if those
agreements had been met. Mr. Jacobsen stated the request was
deferred to allow time for the applicant to install a fence on
the southern property line; however, the fence is not completed
and the portion of the fence that has been installed does not
comply with the conditions of zoning.
Mr. Dodd stated he had a problem granting approval of the request
until the solid board fence is installed properly. Mr. Jacobsen
stated the fence being installed is not complete, the fence has
approximately one (1) inch gaps between the boards and there are
larger gaps at the fence supports.
Mr. John Hoseley presented the Board with a photograph of the
subject property and the fence, which indicated the applicant
has not complied with the conditions of zoning. He stated he
does not feel the weather has been a factor in delaying the
installation of the fence, and there has been no landscaping
installed, no plans submitted, no bond posted and nc dedication
of ingress/egress for the County. He stated the difficulties
with this request have required that he make frequent trips to
the Courthouse, everyone is thoroughly disgusted with the entire
situation.
Hr. Daniel sta~ed he had understood there was agreement at the
last meeting relative to this problem; however, it appears those
agreements have not been complied with.
Mr. Applegate inquired about the legal case. Mr. Moseley stated
the case was deferred on the basis cf Mr. Sounders' legislative
deferral rights. Mr. Daniel stated that Hr. Sounders* pledged
in the name of his client that certain commitments would be met;
however, it appears those commitments have not been met by the
client.
Mr. Dodd stated he felt the requirement to install a solid board
fence should be enforced; and there should be no relief from the
buffer requirements. He stated continuing to defer this case
would only cause more inconvenience to the Moseley family;
however, a denial of the case would not alleviate the situation
relative to the installation of the fence.
When q~estioned, Mr. Micas stated the normal course of action is
to proceed in District Court and this case is currently pending
before that court; however, there is nothing that can be done
87-52
until the General Asser~bly adjourns its current session.
Mrs. Girone stated she would not support relief of the buffer
requirements.
Mr. Mayes stated the Moseley family, which has been before the
Beard many times regardinq this particular case, only wants to
live undisturbed from the noise and view of the subject site.
He stated he did net feel the Board should telerate the
disrsgard of h%tman values that have been exhibited by the
applicant in this case.
Mr. Daniel questioned if the zoning that is currently in place
requires that a solid board fence be installed along the
perimeter of the Moseley property. Mr. Jacobsen stated yes and
the zoning also requires cedar plantings. Mr. Daniel stated
he did not feel there should be any discussion relative to
reducing buffers until the fence and plantings installations are
completed.
Mr. Applegate asked, if the court case has been deferrsd until
March, was there any action the County could take te shut down
the applicant's operation until these matters are resolved. Mr.

in Midlothian Magisterial District, WILLIAM R. BRADLEY requested
a Conditional Use Planned Development to permit a mortuary
service business in a Convenience Business (B-l) District on a
87-54
0.5 acre parcel fronting approximately 100 feet on the west line
of Buford Road, approximately 330 feet south of North Providence
Road. Tax Map 18-16 (1) Parcel 43 (Sheet 8).
Mr. Jacobsen stated the Planning Commission reco~nended approval
o~ this request, subject to certain conditions.
Mr. Bradley accepted the recommended conditions.
There was no opposition present.
Mrs. Girone asked if Mr. Bradley would briefly explain his
intention for use of this site. Mr. Bradley stated he is
requezting to permit a mortuary service business in this area
which involves the embalming of deceased htuaal% beings a~d
transporting the remains to funeral homes. He stated there
would be no cremation on the site and, other than viewing of the
deceased by immediate family~ no funeral or ~e~orial services
will be conducted on the premises. Me stated he intends to
utilize the existing structure, in the Convenience Business
(B-l) District and there are no alterations to the existing
structure or new construction planned to accommodate the
proposed use.
Mrs. Girone expressed concern that the proposed use is
inappropriate for thiz particular area as the subject site is
adjacent to a restaurant, an office complex and a townhcuse
complex. Mr. Bradley stated the site will be landscaped and his
business would be neat, clean, dignified and quiet. Mrs. Girone
expressed cencern that the front entrance of the structure, a
former 7-11 convenience store, is the only access ~y which the
applicant intends to enter or exit with cadaver~ and stated she
felt such activity should be confined to the rear of the
building, as is the practice of other larger funeral homes, and
not exposed to the neighborhood and the general public. She
stated that the site is too small for the proposed uss and
permitting the proposed use at this site would only add to the
congestion and activity at an already busy intersection. She
stated she is concerned for the health, safety and welfare of
area citizens and the general public in that this site has a
poor drainage history and she expressed concern that the use of
a septic tank zyztem will be inadequate to accommodate the
proposed use. Mr. Bradley stated he understood that other
funeral homes in the area, that utilize embalming rooms, dispose
waste products directly into the County sewer system and, in
this particular instance, the waste would be treated in the
septic tank before it is disbursed. Mrs. Gircne reiterated her
concerns relative to the appropriateness of the site for suck an
activity and, ii it were d~termined that the site is appropriate
for the use, she would ~eflnitely recommend that it be connected
to County sewer.
Mr. Dodd supported Mrc. Girone's reco~ne~dation for the site to
be connected to County sewer.
Mr. Applegate stated he concurred with Mrs. ~irone and Mr. Dodd
regarding the connection to County sewer and expressed concern
relative tc the problems that could develop ii the septic tank
system were to fail. Re stated embalming fluid is toxic and the
distribution of such a substance, as well as other waste
products, onto a site where there are existing drainage problems
could possibly have far-reachin~ effects. He stated he also
felt the ~ubject site was inappropriate for the proposed use.
Mr. Daniel stated, in his judgment, the propose~ use is
inappropriate and he does not concider approval of the request
in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of
citizens.
Mr. Bra~ley state~ that all waste products distributed into the
zeptic tank would be treated.

Mr. Jacobsen stated the Planning Commission reec~mended approval

at the same time, he would like the flexibility to be able to
respond to business needs if customer demands, dictate it. Mr.
Applegate stated none of the businesses currently operating in
the area are open in the evenings and he did not want this
business to infringe on the residential environment. Mr. Biz
stated he would not like to be restricted from operating his
business in the evenings at some point in the indefinite ~uture.

condition, at some time in the ~uture, the Board could review
the request and consider amending the condition, based upon the

feet from the ultimate right o~ way, the Master Plan may
have to be revised to conform to the setback :equirements.
However, if the existing parking area tO the north of the
site is closer than the required fifty (50) feet, it may be
possible to average setbacks, thereby allowing the driveway
and parking areas to be closer than fifty (50) feet.)

inferior quality, appearance, or detail to any other facade
of the same building. The intent of this requirement is not
to preclude the use of different materials on different
building facades (which would be acceptable if
representative of good architectural design) but rather, to
preclude the use of inferior materials on sides which face
adjoining property and thus, might adversely impact
existing or ~uture development causing a substantial
depreciation of property values. No portion of a building
