Ayes: Gecker, Holland, Jaeckle, Warren and Durfee. Nays: None. The following item was removed from the Consent Agenda for public comment: 8.B.l.i. REGARDING THE TIER II DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE SOUTHEAST HIGH SPEED RAIL PROJECT Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to the short period of time allowed for citizen input prior to the Board being requested to approve comments for the environmental impact 10-537 08/25/10 statement. She stated when the issue of high speed rail first came up, she met with the Chamber and was told that the speed would not be high enough to require cross-overs or cross-unders in the closing of at-grade crossings, but later learned in July that the at-grade crossings are proposed to be closed again. She further stated the Board of Supervisors has emphasized that citizen input and data are imperative to its decision-making and expressed concerns-that the Board has only been given 30 days, which has now been extended to 40 days, to provide input on the environmental impact statement, with virtually no data as to ridership on the Charlotte to Richmond route. She stated the details of construction costs are very vague, and there is no hint of what the states will be required to provide for operating costs and what other transportation projects will be sacrificed for this project. She stated she held a constituents' meeting regarding the subject on August 24th and will hold another one at Thomas Dale High School on August 26th because many citizens had indicated to her that the public comment meetings were more like rallies for high speed rail, and they felt too intimidated to ask questions and voice concerns. She expressed concerns about the Board supporting anything when enough time had not been allowed for citizen input. She stated there are seven grade crossings in the Bermuda District, and the closing of the crossings and the building of over- and under-passes would dramatically alter the landscape of the district. She further stated concerns were expressed at her constituents' meeting relative to the impact of the closures on Fire and EMS responses to emergency calls; the opportunity for traffic engineers to study how the re- routing affects the intersections; whether lights and turning lanes would be needed; if there would be pedestrian and bike access; whether fencing would be needed; and if the Chester community would be sliced in half. She inquired why the Board should be required to comment on things of this magnitude within such a brief period of time. She referenced the agreement that has been made in Ashland to slow the trains down rather than close the at-grade crossing and inquired whether that is on the table for Chester. She also inquired whether upgraded gating is a possibility, and what would happen if additional issues arise between now and the final draft in 2011. She questioned whether the Board would have input on the final draft, and once the final draft is out, whether the project would move forward. She expressed concerns relative to residents whose property values will decline as a result of a plan showing high speed rail going through their property. She referenced subdivisions in other areas of the county and inquired whether the Board would be satisfied with a 40-day window to log citizen concerns if these neighborhoods were being impacted. She stated, in her opinion, the Board needs to take a stand and ask for an extension of the public comment period because she has been told that once the resolution is submitted, it will be difficult to make any changes. Ms. Durfee stated the information that has been provided regarding the proposed resolution is somewhat tied to federal funding since the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is scheduled to end September 10th, and the Statement must be completed before federal funding can be utilized for the service. She further stated the Board is being asked to consider language for support of the concept of high speed rail, as well as our desire to J J J 10-538 08/25/10 ensure that we have additional information or clarity on any impacts to Chesterfield. She stated she had an opportunity to speak with the chief of the high speed rail project and was informed that the county will be provided an opportunity throughout the on-going process to have discussion at any point between North Carolina and Virginia and all of the partners about the impact of the project to Chesterfield County and its residents. She provided Board members with copies of suggested language changes to the proposed resolution that she believes will address the Board's concerns and ensure that if there are any issues related to the impact of grade separation or any other impact, the Board would have the opportunity to provide input throughout the process. She suggested inserting "County" after "Chesterfield" and also inserting "address the impact of grade separation and other impacts" to provide a resolution that achieves the Board's support for high speed rail, as well as addressing the Board's concerns for any impacts of the project. She stated it is important to keep in mind that the federal and state governments have the ultimate authority on high speed rail, and the county is in a unique position of making sure that we are informed, as well as keeping the citizens informed throughout the process. She stated high speed rail has been going on since 2008, and the Board has had an opportunity to stay on top of it, noting that the process is going to be ever-changing. She further stated, after speaking to the chief, she believes the language that she has proposed would help the Board achieve the county's ability to communicate with the state and our partners throughout the on-going process about the impacts of the project. In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question regarding citizens who are being impacted, Ms. Durfee stated right now she is concerned about the resolution and the best language that will achieve supporting high speed rail, as well as making sure constituents are kept informed and staying on top of the impact of the project, indicating that she believes the proposed language does that. Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to receiving language in the last 30 minutes and whether it is enough to ensure protection of citizens. She further stated, although the project has been discussed since 2008, the real details did not come out until, at least for the Board's public input, July 26tH Ms. Durfee stated the chief of the high speed rail project indicated that the information has been there since 2008. She further stated the Board must determine whether the proposed language for the resolution best fits its concerns for supporting high speed rail, not to impede the September 10th deadline, as well as looking at all impacts, including the grade separation impacts. She stated, in her opinion, the proposed language would allow the Board to ensure taking care of its concerns regarding any impacts of the project and also the citizens' concerns. Ms. Jaeckle inquired whether the Board's priority should be to support the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for funding rather than to allow time for citizens' input. 10-539 08/25/10 Ms. Durfee stated she believes the Board can achieve both supporting the Statement and providing citizens' input through the proposed language. Ms. Jaeckle stated she does not think this can be done because the language has been too hastily put together. She expressed concerns that Fire/EMS and Transportation staff have not looked at the proposed language, •indicating that she has been told once the locality submits its comments by the deadline, it will be very difficult to add comments afterward once the plan is proposed. Ms. Durfee stated the chief of high speed rail has assured her that the deadline is necessary for the DEIS process and federal funding, indicating that the proposed language would also allow us the opportunity for ongoing communication with the Commonwealth of Virginia and its partners on high speed rail. Ms. Jaeckle stated she would prefer stronger language, such as "we support high speed rail if the requirement to close at-grade crossing is eliminated." Ms. Durfee stated this is an ongoing process, and various things could change. She further stated there will be continued communication between North Carolina and Virginia, which will allow us to ensure that our partners with the state will be keeping us abreast of the project grade separation or any other impacts, indicating that she is unsure whether we can be specific with language at this time. Ms. Jaeckle stated she is not willing to support a resolution that is not more specific. Mr. Warren inquired whether Mr. Sam Hayes from VDOT or Ms. Christine Fix, who works with the Chief of Public Transportation, were present to respond to the Board's questions. Ms. Fix stated, as project manager for the Southeast High Speed Rail Tier II DEIS, she has represented the state in conjunction with our partners in North Carolina for the past several years. She further stated she has worked with county staff to address some of the issues that have been raised. She stated the key goal has been safety, and while 90 miles per hour is being proposed now, they are planning for the future, should the speed increase. She further stated the DEIS is providing the widest footprint possible and addressing all impacts that come with the potential for grade closures, as well as new overpasses and underpasses. She stated Ms. Durfee was correct that the draft document is out for public review and then her office will continue to coordinate with the county directly and all counties involved up and down the corridor to refine the designs. She further stated, if the Board adopts the resolution now stating concerns regarding specific sites, the high speed rail officials will work with the county to address those concerns and try and make the best fit possible. Ms. Jaeckle stated Board members have not had the opportunity to state specific concerns since they are just now hearing from citizens, indicating that some of the impacts are unknown unless you are a resident who is impacted. She J J J 10-540 08/25/10 further stated one of the specifics brought up yesterday at her constituents' meeting was the Centralia Road crossover, how the people who currently live there will have access to the road, and what will happen if the project disrupts property. She expressed concerns that these types of impacts have not been addressed prior to the Board having to agree to the environmental statement. Ms. Fix stated some of these issues will be worked out directly with individual property owners, but at this level, every driveway, bridge, overpass and underpass is not being designed. She further stated the document will provide the widest footprint possible of what will happen during construction. Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns that the widest footprint possible is very disruptive to the Chester community, and she cannot agree to that in any way at this point. She stated there are too many unanswered questions and inquired why the public comment period was so brief. Ms. Fix stated 30 days is the standard time period for federal documentation. She further stated the partners worked together to extend the time for public comment when they learned of the extensive interest at the public hearings. Ms. Jaeckle stated most of the citizens she has spoken with are fearful that they will have no input on the project at the federal level, and she is very reluctant to endorse the resolution with as little knowledge as she has on it. She further stated she didn't understand why alternatives, such as upgraded crossings instead of gates were not provided with the study, and that the study did not even look at alternative rail routes around Chester, or present the possibility of slowing the trains down as has been agreed on in Ashland. Ms. Fix stated two different studies were conducted, and this study is only for the segment from Richmond South to Raleigh. She further stated funding has been applied for a similar study to run the same engineering from Richmond North to Washington, DC, but at this point they are two separate projects, and while they are linked, they are on separate tracks. Ms. Jaeckle stated she cannot imagine the supervisors in Ashland approving something without an agreement that the at- grade crossing was not going to be closed because it would severely alter the landscape of their community. Mr. warren stated he would support the resolution if there was language at the end stating, "eliminate the impact of grade separations and crossings" and inquired whether Ms. Fix would have a problem with that language change. Ms. Fix stated she does not believe so, indicating that they need to hear this so it will come into their comment period into their document, and they will work with North Carolina as well as federal partners to address all of these issues. She reiterated that this is a process and she does not foresee a final document for another year, indicating that 10-541 08/25/10 all of these issues can be worked out and that language included in the document. Mr. Warren inquired whether waiting a month for more opportunity for changing the wording in the resolution would hurt the chances of this project moving forward. Ms. Fix stated if the Board did not adopt a resolution prior to September 10th, it would hinder the chances of the project moving forward and would be almost as if Chesterfield had no opinion on the DEIS. She further stated there is a way it could be phrased as "should additional speeds become in the future higher speeds from the 90 to 100 range, or should speeds over 110 occur, at that time the grade crossing closures would be further looked at and refined and the process continued." Ms. Durfee stated that is the reason she would like to keep the language more general, to keep the door open for the opportunity to look at all impacts and not be secluded at this particular juncture. She further stated it is her understanding that the September 10th deadline is for the Board to show support of the DEIS as a government body. She stated everyone is concerned about any impact of high speed rail throughout Chesterfield County, so whether the project goes from Washington, DC to Richmond to Raleigh or from Norfolk to Raleigh, it is going to come through Chesterfield, so we want to be assured that the language indicates the Board's concerns about having the opportunity to address any impacts of grade separation and any other impacts thereof. She further stated, in talking with the chief, we are talking about speeds of 90 miles per hour, which will not impact grade separation issues. She stated she is confident that the proposed language will provide the opportunity to address the impacts of the project. Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns that the broader the language is, the less specific the Board can be with certain demands. She stated, if the Board does not approve its comments by September 10th, we won't have the opportunity to address issues that may come up, reiterating her dismay at the short amount of time to provide comments for a project of this magnitude. Mr. Warren stated he, too, is concerned, indicating that it is obvious to him that this is an example of the federal government not recognizing the importance of citizens and local government in the process. He further stated he realizes that the Board must not miss the opportunity to comment by September 10th and stressed that the resolution address the concerns that have been expressed, including eliminating the. impact of grade separations. Mr. Gecker stated what is listed in the revision provided by Ms. Durfee to Attachment B gives unequivocal support to the southern route for high speed rail and does not give adequate weight to the Board's concerns. He stated the Board addressed this issue in 2001 by adopting a resolution conditioned on the Board's support of various items, and he thinks the current Board should continue in the process by adopting a resolution similar to the 2001 resolution which supports high speed rail, but conditions that support on various items. He then suggested that the resolution labeled J J J 10-542 08/25/10 Attached B remain as is through the first, second and third paragraphs, and that paragraph 4 read "as Chesterfield County supports the concept of high speed rail from Washington, DC to Main Street Station in Richmond, Virginia," to get the Main Street Station piece in, not just the Richmond piece, which would include Parham. He went on to state "and supports the continuation of high speed rail south of Richmond, Virginia," leave the next paragraph in and then go back to the 2001 resolution and pick up the language of "Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board supports the service he just mentioned, "And, Be it Further Resolved that the Board's support is dependent on provision of the following information and appropriate time to comment," and that would lead to the list that begins on page 1 and runs through the middle of page 2, "And, Be It Further Resolved, that the Board's support is further depended on the following," then the list that appears here and the addition of the "impact of the proposed at-grade crossings must be eliminated," now with that, the Board will be on record as supporting high speed rail all the way from Washington, DC through Main Street Station and down into Charlotte. Mr. Holland stated he agrees that the Board should adopt a resolution today that will allow us to move forward, but expressed concerns relative to the unknowns and information not being readily available. He further stated it is critical to know that there is a window of opportunity for the Board to comment, which may not always be open as the project moves forward, especially given the fact that the funding is coming from the federal government. He stated it is important that the Board be aware that we don't have all the facts and will not have them in 30 days, indicating that he is prepared to move forward on the resolution with respect of having the funding to approve the project. Ms, Fix stated it is her opinion that Attachment A meets their needs, and it is the Board's discretion as far as how detailed they want to get. She further stated, if the Board adopts a general resolution, staff can submit additional comments specifically regarding the design as well as the resolution, and they will work with the county hand-in-hand to go back to the drawing board regarding the design of the project. Ms. Jaeckle specifically asked Ms. Fix about including the elimination of the impact of at-grade designs. Ms. Fix stated that goes back to the federal requirements, indicating that 90 miles per hour, which is being proposed in Chesterfield, would not require the at-grade crossing closures or the overpasses; however, in the future, the design leaves the door open to speeds of 110 or more. In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question about the impact on property values should the speeds increase, Ms. Fix stated she could not answer because .that would be determined. by the market forces, indicating that they would work with property owners by either purchasing their property or providing other avenues to correct design issues. Ms. Durfee stated she agrees with what Mr. Gecker has referenced in Attachment A, although she believes that language in the second page of Attachment B indicates that 10-543 08/25/10 the Board is supportive of the project in working with the Commonwealth of Virginia and its partners in the development of the project. She further stated adding the language, "to address the impact of at-grade separation and other impact thereof" would send a message today that the Board would be assured that they could send a separate list of specifics through the county's Transportation Department. She commended Mr. Kevin Page and others who have attended numerous meetings over the last two years, providing information as well as the willingness to continue to work with the county in the ongoing process, indicating that she is certain everything is going to evolve. She stated Mr. Page assured her that, as long as the Board supports the resolution and places language in it accordingly, then we will be working with our partners constantly throughout the process to protect the health, safety and welfare of residents if high speed rail happens to come through Chesterfield. Mr. Gecker, stated he disagrees with Ms. Durfee that the language is the same in both versions of the resolution because the last paragraph of the language that Ms. Durfee is supporting unconditionally supports the project and says that we will work with the state going forward and do the best we can when, in fact, he does not unconditionally support the project. He further stated he appreciates the idea of high speed rail and supports the concept, but not necessarily the project. He stated if they come in, for example, and close off Woods Edge Road, he does not think the Board could legitimately support high speed rail coming through the county, with that kind of devastating impact. He further stated he wants to specifically condition the support on minimizing the impact of high speed rail on the county, indicating that he thinks it is the Board's role to not provide unconditional support and rely on future boards, since this project was being talked about in 2001. Ms. Durfee stated the language she has proposed supports the concept, indicating that paragraph 4 would be kept intact. Mr. Gecker stated the last paragraph of Ms. Durfee's proposed language stated that the Board supports the project and looks forward to working with the Commonwealth. Ms. Durfee stated the main thing is that the Board is in support of high speed rail, is very concerned about the impacts, and would like to have the information in clarity. At the request of Mr. Warren, Mr. Gecker reiterated his earlier suggestion that paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of Attachment B remain intact; the fourth "Whereas" shifts, "Chesterfield County supports the concept of high speed rail from Washington, DC to Main Street Station in Richmond, Virginia and supports the continuation of high speed rail south of Richmond, Virginia" so changing that paragraph to incorporate the Main Street concept which was not in the 2001 resolution. He stated the next "whereas" stays the same, and then we get to what the Board actually supports: "Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors supports the development of the southeast high speed rail service," again repeating the destination language that we have; "And, Be It Further Resolved that the Board's support is dependent on the provision of the following information and appropriate time J J J 10-544 08/25/10 to comment," and from there, pick up the list beginning at the first bullet point, "a list of all commercial and residential displacements in Chesterfield," and move down through "siding locations clearly identified and confirmation that impacts of sidings have been addressed." "And, Be It Further Resolved, that the Board's support is dependent on the following," and then begin with a list of "Woods Edge Road" and go down, but include a final bullet which that say, "the impact of the proposed at-grade crossings must be eliminated," and that would be the resolution. Mr. Holland stated it was clearly stated that the first priority is safety, and when he thinks of 110 miles per hour, he thinks of safety and what can be done now. He further stated he is comfortable with the resolution because he thinks the Board needs to move forward for the sake of the project . Ms. Jaeckle stated she is finding it very difficult to support the resolution, referencing the Chester Post Office, when the federal government did not work with the residents on keeping it in the village. She expressed concerns relative to leaving ourselves still too open and inquired whether something could be put in the resolution like Ashland did relative to slowing the trains down in Chester. She stated there is still so much more that needs to be addressed, and she is concerned that it will not be addressed, indicating that it is very difficult when you don't have things in writing and depend on phone calls and assurances for something of this magnitude. She further stated she is surprised that the Board is willing to agree to something that is being put together at the last minute. Mr. Gecker stated what he is trying to do is help rather than hurt because the Board is required to adopt this resolution prior to September 10th and, by not doing so, could face the prospect of not having any input whatsoever. He further stated adopting the resolution will preserve the county's spot in the process, and he understands that doing it in this form has a slightly greater impact than doing so by letter from staff at a later time. He stated we are trying to preserve the county's voice in the process by providing specifics, so that when the engineers and others in charge go back,- they can say that the Board had legitimate concerns. He further stated he sees no other alternative than putting it on the table, which will place the county in as good a position as possible at this point in time. Ms. Jaeckle stated a lot of discussion has occurred regarding passenger and freight rail not coexisting anywhere in the country successfully. She further stated if enough communities were opposed to the project because they feel it would be too disruptive to their community, then they might look at doing the project in a different way. Ms. Fix stated unfortunately, that is not the point of the DEIS, indicating that it is for specific designs. She further stated many of the issues raised are policy issues at the federal level, which will be worked on with our partners at the federal level and the railroads to assure or at least minimize the impacts between passenger and freight rail, and at the end of the day, the state will either operate or own it. She stated the state only has a say in the design and 10-545 08/25/10 how it comes through our communities, and the Board is telling them to take another look at the design and go back to the drawing board and then involve the county in the continuous process, and that is what will be done. Ms. Jaeckle stated if they would go back and look at their design she could support the project, but could not support it the way it stands now. Mr. Gecker stated the Board is saying they do not support the current proposal with the various items included as conditions in the resolution. Mr. Gecker then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation has released the Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Southeast High Speed Rail Service (Richmond, VA to Raleigh, NC) for public review; and WHEREAS, the document became available for public review and comment in early July 2010, the public hearing for Chesterfield,. along with Colonial Heights and Petersburg, was held on July 21, 2010, and the public comment period is scheduled to close August 30, 2010; and WHEREAS, the SEHSR project is very complex and will result in both direct and indirect impacts to many residents and businesses in Chesterfield County; and WHEREAS, Chesterfield County supports the concept of high speed rail from Washington, DC to Main Street Station in Richmond, VA, and supports the continuation of high speed rail south of Richmond, VA; and WHEREAS, additional information is necessary to fully evaluate the impacts to Chesterfield County proposed in the Tier II Draft Environmental Impact Statement. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors supports the development of high speed rail service from Washington, DC to Main Street Station in Richmond, VA, and the continuation of high speed rail south of Richmond, VA. AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board' s support is dependent on the provision of the following information and appropriate time to comment: • A list of all commercial and residential displacements in Chesterfield County. • Specific plans showing how access will be provided to and from developed and undeveloped parcels impacted by new road alignments and crossing closures. • Noise studies for new road alignments and widening along with specific plans for noise abatement. • Sufficient design details to demonstrate that: - bridges and underpasses will accommodate future road widening - bike and pedestrian accommodations are included J J J 10-546 08/25/10 - landscaping and screening will be provided especially in residential areas - tractor-trailers will be able to safely access the water treatment plant via proposed realignment of Station Road • Specific locations of security fencing. • Adequate traffic analyses to ensure the proposals will accommodate anticipated traffic. • Financing plan to show how and when necessary road improvements will be accomplished by this project. • Details and renderings for the proposed Centralia Road Loop. • Siding locations clearly identified and confirmation that impacts at sidings have been addressed. AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board's support is further dependent on the following: • Woods Edge Road and Marina Drive crossings must be provided grade separations and not be closed as currently proposed. • Passenger rail service at the Ettrick Station must continue regardless of high speed rail service. • The extensions of Pine Forest Drive and Walthall Industrial Parkway must be eliminated. • Relocate the Old Lane crossing and provide a grade separation to align Hamlin Creek Parkway. If this cannot be accomplished, provide additional road improvements to accommodate the increased traffic using Hopkins Road and Centralia Road. • Railroad overpass of Route 1 must be lengthened. SEHSR must accommodate the proposed Petersburg to South Hampton Roads rail service • Funds used for SEHSR should not be diverted from highway improvements. • Impact of the changes to the proposed at-grade crossings must be eliminated. Ayes: Gecker, Holland, Jaeckle, Warren and Durfee. Nays: None. Ms. Jaeckle clarified that she was voting for the resolution because it stated that we are not supporting high speed rail unless those conditions are met. 9. REPORTS 9.A.
