13.C. FIVE FORKS TRAFFIC CONTROL
Mr. Ramsey stated Board approval for an appropriation, in the
amount of $30,000 from the General Fund Contingency Account to
the Police Department FY87-88 budget, to continue the Five
Forks intersection traffic control with off-duty police offi-
cers was deferred from the July 22, 1987 meeting. He stated
staff continues to recommend that the traffic control be
terminated because the Police Department budget does not
include funding to continue the traffic control, the officers
currently direct traffic for only about one hour of the two
hours on each shift, there have been many complaints from
businesses and citizens about the congestion created on Court-
house Road, and there are other equally serious intersections
in the County for which the County is not providing this
service.
Mr. Mayes stated he felt the service is a safety matter and
should be continued to protect those people who have to enter
or cross Courthouse Road under the existing adverse conditions.
Discussion ensued relative to whether or not there has been
favorable citizen input for continuing the service, if the
shopping center construction at the intersection is generating
additional problems, whether or not the shopping center should
bear the burden of traffic control at the intersection, insuf-
ficient funding in the Police Department budget to continue the
service, the impact of increased traffic due to the opening of
schools, reducing the hours of coverage, the feasibility of
discontinuing the service and monitoring the situation for
several weeks, etc.
Mr. Mayes stated he felt the Board has a responsibility to
ensure that area residents and/or other citizens traveling
through this intersection should not have to endure long
periods of waiting or endanger their well-being to either
access or exit this intersection. He stated he would be
willing to compromise to provide the service for one hour in
the morning and one hour in the afternoon with only half of the
allocation requested.
Col. Pittman stated it would be difficult to obtain adequate
off duty staff to provide coverage for only one hour in the
morning and one hour in the evening.
Mr. Applegate inquired if it would be feasible to discontinue
the traffic control and monitor the situation until the meeting
on August 26, 1987. Mr. Mayes stated he did not wish to
discontinue the traffic control at all because he felt the
service was essential to the safety of those persons traveling
through this intersection.
On motion of Mr. Mayes, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board
approved and appropriated $30,000 from the General Fund Contin-
gency Account to the FY87-88 Police Department Budget to
continue the Five Forks Traffic Control with off-duty police
officers.
Mr. Daniel stated he could not support the motion as submitted
and requested to defer the issue for thirty days without
funding or traffic control so the situation could be monitored
for additional data.
87-603
Mr. Mayes stated he would consider deferring the issue provided
the protection were continued until the matter is resolved.
Mr. Daniel stated it would not be possible to obtain any data
if police officers were at the site. Mr. Mayes stated he would
not take the responsibility for no protection at this inter-
section and requested a vote on the motion to approve the
request.
Ayes: Mr. Mayes, Mr. Dodd and Mrs. Girone.
Nay: Mr. Applegate.
Abstention: Mr. Daniel.

approval of the ordinance. He stated residents of Surrywood,
Forest Dale, Pocoshock and surrounding communities feel there
should be better development controls within the County that
would effectively address issues such as setbacks; multiple
curb cuts; landscaping; hazardously located permanent and
portable, unsightly billboards/signs; etc., which have resulted
in traffic congestion, poor utilization of property fronting
major arterials, incompatibility between existing and adjacent
land uses and the negative impact upon the adjacent residential
neighborhoods. He urged the Board to act positively on approv-
al of the proposed arterial corridor overlay district as
recommended by the Planning Commission with no changes.
Mr. Bob Mooney, President of the Bexley Association, strongly
endorsed the adoption of the Overlay District without amend-
ment. He stated area residents are very concerned that overall
area development be of a quality that is compatible with the
quality of existing surrounding residential neighborhoods and
that such development enhance and preserve property values and
raise the overall value of Chesterfield County.
87-604
Mr. Marshal Driskill stated he felt this action is a progres-
sive move and has been needed for a long time. He submitted a
petition to the Board from residents of the Dale District
supporting adoption of the proposed arterial corridor overlay
district and urged the Board to act favorably on its adoption.
Ms. Martha Butler presented the Board with a letter from the
Brandermill Community Association Board of Directors in support
of the proposed arterial corridor overlay district. She stated
they feel the document is a well-thought-out amendment which
will permit a high standard of development without inhibiting
commercial progress and they endorse the concept of goals and
major requirements as consistent with balanced planning and the
superior quality of life expected in Chesterfield County.
Ms. Patricia Lohr, representing Fuqua Farms Civic Association,
voiced support for adoption of the Corridor Overlay District as
recommended by the Planning Commission and that it be enforced.
Mr. John Morgan, Vice President of the Woodlake Community
Association, stated the community strongly supports the adop-
tion of the proposed arterial corridor overlay district stan-
dards with no changes, as they feel it is well conceived and a
major step in promoting sensible development along arterial
corridors.
Mr. Karl Schlenker, Vice President of the Salem Woods Home-
owners Association, presented the Board with a petition con-
taining in excess of 100 signatures supporting adoption of the
proposed ordinance amendment. He stated area residents are
concerned with growth, safety, better planning for development,
the long range needs of the County, the overall quality of life
within the County, etc. He added that the quality of life in
the County also encompasses the high quality of police protec-
tion to Chesterfield citizens. He noted that the County's
Police Department is a leader in innovation and it provides a
high level of service to a much larger geographic area than
Police in other localities that are better staffed and funded.
He suggested that budget priorities be re-examined and addi-
tional funding provided to Chesterfield's Police Department.
Mr. H. Carter Myers, III, representing the Chesterfield Busi-
ness Council, commended staff for their efforts and cooperation
in the development of the Overlay District standards and stated
the Business Council has endorsed the overall concept of the
Overlay District. He stated, as an independent businessman, he
wished to address concerns relative to several aspects of the
proposed ordinance and requested consideration be given to the
inclusion of amendments relative to (1) control of the total
aggregate signage permitted; (2) language with respect to the
coordinated development of one or more parcels with an aggre-
gate size of ten acres or more; and (3) sign heights.
Ms. Sandra Lovern, representing residents of Gravelbrook Farms
Subdivision, voiced support for adoption of the proposed
corridor overlay district standards.
Ms. Dorothy Armstrong voiced support of the proposed ordinance
and suggested that consideration be given to the extension of
its principals and criteria to all corridors within the County
in the future that might need it. She expressed concerns
relative to landscaping requirements, access, internal circu-
lation patterns, etc. She stated the difference between the
development and exploitation of land must be determined and
considered in the future development of the County.
Mr. Dana Dame, representing the development community, voiced
support for the adoption of the proposed ordinance, as it will
benefit the community at-large, create a favorable environment
for business, protect property values and create a parity in
marketing aspect of commercial real estate that is not current-
ly in place. He urged that if the proposed ordinance were
adopted the Board give consideration after a sufficient test
87-605
period has elapsed to expanding the applicability of the
standards to other areas of the County.
Mr. Will Rogers, a resident of Salem Woods Subdivision, expres-
sed concerns relative to unbridled growth in the County and
stated he felt something should be done to discourage develop-
ment.
Mr. David Sauer stated he felt the proposed regulations for the
Route 10 Corridor should be extended to the Appomattox River.
He stated he felt adoption of these standards would be a step
in the right direction and commended those involved with the
development of the ordinance.
Mr. Steve Perkins, President of the Enon Civic Association,
voiced support for the proposed ordinance and stated adoption
of these standards will be step in the right direction for
improved development in the County. He stated he felt the
proposed ordinance is a phenomenal document and voiced support
for it in the Enon area as amended to Hopewell.
There being no one else present to address the matter, Mr.
Daniel closed the public hearing.
Mr. Dodd stated he felt the sign district was fine as original-
ly proposed but if such standards were going to be applied they
should be done all at one time for all the major arterial
roads. He stated the way the sign district evolved was a
stepping stone to this point. He expressed concerns relative
to the possibility of small businesses being adversely impacted
by portions of the proposed ordinance and that there should be
some amendments. He stated he felt strongly that there should
be assurances that the ordinance is administered fairly parti-
cularly with respect to the 10 acre parcel and joint access
requirements. He stated administration of the ordinance is the
key to its success.
Mr. Mayes stated he felt the proposal is a step in the right
direction toward ensuring the quality of life in the County and
voiced support for the document as proposed.
Mrs. Girone stated the overlay district requirements have been
in use for over two years on Route 60 from Courthouse Road to
Powhatan County, relative to limiting curb cuts, reducing
signage, etc. She stated she supports the proposal and would
like to see it extended out Route 360 from Otterdale west
within in the Midlothian District on the north side. She
stated she was pleased to see such citizen interest and parti-
cipation in this matter. She expressed concern that these
standards be applied to other arterials and there not be
piece-meal application, and she indicated discussion is needed
regarding signage, limiting billboards, etc.
Mr. Applegate stated he has been involved in many discussions
regarding this matter and felt this ordinance addresses major
concerns such as access, traffic congestion, crossovers, etc.
He stated he has maintained the position for some time that
Route 360 should be developed in a quality manner and this
ordinance provides the opportunity to develop Route 360 in a
manner that would enhance the County and not be compared to
Route 60. He stated there are several aspects of the proposed
ordinance that need further discussion; however, with some
refinements, he felt the proposed Overlay District serves its
intended purpose and he planned to support it.
Mr. Daniel expressed appreciation for the interest and parti-
cipation of those present. He noted that by his talley the
petitions submitted to the Board tonight contained over 1,100
signatures in support of this Ordinance. He stated he felt
adoption of the proposal is a first step toward progress and
quality development for the overall County. He stated quality
development and the perception of quality over the County is
needed in terms of long range goals to ensure that the tax base
87-606
is maximized through good quality business development, for
without this type of development the County would not be able
to support strong residential development.
In response to a citizen request, Mr. Jacobson briefly outlined
the recommended technical amendments to the proposed ordinance.
Mr. Daniel moved, seconded by Mr. Mayes, that the Board adopt
the proposed Corridor Overlay District Ordinance, with techni-
cal amendments as recommended by staff.
There was no vote at this time.
Mr. Dodd made a motion to amend the original motion, to include
approval of the recommended ordinance, the technical amend-
ments, as well as the following modifications:
(1)
Ail uses shall be subject to the use limitations set forth
in the underlying zoning district(s), and, in addition,
uses that have drive-in windows and/or gasoline pumps, all
uses exclusively permitted in the General Business (B-3)
District shall only be permitted when incorporated into a
coordinated development of one or more parcels with an
aggregate size of ten acres or more;
(2)
Spacing between outdoor advertising signs shall be at
least 700 feet along the same side of the same major
arterial road. Additionally, along the same side of the
same major arterial road, outdoor advertising signs shall
be at least 500 feet from County parks, entrances to
residential developments and residentially zoned proper-
ties.
Mr. Daniel expressed concern that Mr. Dodd's amended motion
addressed subject matters that were not discussed during the
work session or the public hearing. Mr. Jacobson briefly
outlined details of a letter from the sign industry relative to
amending restrictions for outdoor advertising signs (bill-
boards).
Mr. Dodd stated the second amendment would be basically Mr.
Willey's letter with the exception of changing 300 feet to 500
feet for the distance of signs to be located from County parks,
entrances to residential developments and residentially zoned
property.
Mrs. Girone inquired if the motion included limitations that
all outdoor advertising signs shall be on a monopole and shall
be no higher than 25 feet above road grade and (2) setbacks
shall be the same as setbacks required herein for buildings (75
feet), (3) shall be 700 feet spacing along the same side of the
major arterial road and 500 feet from County parks, entrances
to residential developments and residentially zoned properties.
Mr. Dodd agreed.
Mr. Daniel inquired if Mr. Dodd would consider modifying the
wording of his motion to include, "except prohibited on Route
10 from the Richmond City limits to the Courthouse unless
otherwise approved through the Conditional Use Process for B-3,
M-2 and M-3 districts".
Mr. Dodd agreed.
Mr. Micas stated the issue before the Board is a new zoning
opportunity and if adopted, can be applied to those areas as
advertised for public hearing and any subsequent areas in the
future; however, they could not make the kind of specific
zoning decisions being discussed when adopting an ordinance of
general applicability. He stated if the Board desired this
they would have to establish Overlay Districts "A" and "B" and
then apply whatever portions of the designated districts to
either option.
87-607
Mr. Dodd amended his motion to include two overlay district
options appertaining to billboards: Option A - adding the
modifications recommended by the sign industry but changing 300
feet to 500 feet for the distance of such signs from County
parks, entrances to residential developments and residentially
zoned properties; and Option B - whereby billboards are prohib-
ited along Route 10 from the Richmond City line to the Court-
house, with the exception of B-3, M-2 and M-3 uses unless
otherwise approved by the Conditional Use Planned Development
process.
Mr. Dodd stated his overall intent was that the districts be
expanded to include the entire County.
Mr. Daniel stated he agreed but from the input he had received
he was very concerned about the area he addressed on Route 10
and he was attempting to ensure that if a motion passed that it
included prohibition of billboards in this area.
Mr. Dodd restated his motion for adoption of the proposed
ordinance with technical amendments, with his modifications and
the inclusion of Option B for the prohibition of billboards
along Route 10, as requested by Mr. Daniel.
There was no second to this motion.
Mr. Applegate stated he agreed that Route 360 is different
perhaps than Route 10 but is no different than Turner Road,
Elkhart Road, Providence Road, Courthouse Road, Coalfield Road,
Otterdale Road and others in the County and if the Board is not
in complete agreement on implementing the ordinance, then
perhaps it should be deferred for two weeks; otherwise, there
will be a problem with enforcement. He stated the decision
rendered on this issue could have an adverse impact on the
small business industry, but with proper controls there is a
mechanism for monitoring them. He stated he felt making an
arbitrary decision to allow restrictions in one area one way
and in another area another way is wrong.
Mr. Daniel stated he would hope billboards would not be allowed
anywhere, but often one has to compromise to get a first foot
forward. He argued very strongly that his constituents wanted
the Route 10 corridor left in tact or have the legal mechanism
to leave it in tact as proposed in the overlay ordinance.
Mr. Applegate seconded Mr. Dodd's motion to allow discussion.
Mrs. Girone stated two weeks ago there was discussion on the
issue of itinerant merchants and the planning that goes along
with that problem and asked how it relates to the overlay.
Mr. Jacobson stated staff is having is having its second
meeting on that issue tomorrow; it is not ready to be presented
to the Board at this time but staff will do so as soon as a
recommendation is ready. He stated if any amendments are
recommended, they will be part of the overall zoning require-
ments because it should apply County-wide. He stated the
purpose of bringing the Overlay District to the Board consid-
eration is its application to certain developing corridors. He
added that an entirely different approach must be taken to
address problems associated with existing development along
Jefferson Davis Highway and the eastern portion of Midlothian.
Mr. Applegate inquired how the proposal before the Board was
advertised. Mr. Jacobson stated, specific to billboards, the
data advertised was the Planning Commission's recommendation
which was to ban billboards within these overlay districts.
Mr. Daniel stated the Chair had accepted both amendments and
inquired if these could be voted on separately.
Mr. Micas stated the amendments were all inclusive to the
motion and Mr. Mayes would have to accept those amendments.
87-608
Mr. Mayes stated the first amendment does not substantially
alter the original and is just a technical change. Mr. Daniel
stated the second amendment does offer substantial change in
terms of billboards.
Mr. Micas stated Mr. Dodd offered that as a complete motion.
Mr. Mayes stated he would accept the technical amendments but
he did not fully understand the impact of the others and could
not accept them.
Mr. Dodd offered a substitute motion for adoption of the
proposed ordinance with the technical amendments and modifi-
cation, as previously stated.
Mrs. Girone inquired about Options A & B. Mr. Micas stated it
includes the original package of amendments by Mr. Dodd which
provides two overlay district opportunies relative to bill-
boards.
Mr. Daniel stated he understood that this application would
absolutely prohibit billboards on Route 10 unless there was a
request for Conditional Use Planned Development for B-3, M-2 or
M-3 but billboards in any other area within the Overlay Dis-
trict would be required to meet the criteria outlined in Option
A.
Mr. Micas stated, if approved, that would be correct.
Mr. Applegate inquired if applicants can go to the Board of
Zoning Appeals for a variance. Mr. Micas stated yes.
Mrs. Girone stated, as a compromise, would it not be better to
give the options of A or B. Mr. Daniel stated it cannot be
given as an "either or" situation if you want it to be prohibi-
ted subject to the Conditional Use process, etc. He stated
billboards will still be permitted if the applicant can meet
the standards as outlined by Mr. Dodd's motion then he can have
billboards in any of the designated areas except for the Route
10 corridor.
Mrs. Girone requested clarification if an applicant could apply
to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to permit a
billboard anywhere. Mr. Micas stated an applicant could use
the Conditional Use Planned Development process to obtain a
billboard.
Mr. Daniel stated that if an applicant applies to the Board of
Zoning Appeals for a variance there has to be cause for a
hardship and he failed to see how such justification could be
provided. He stated if an applicant goes through the Condi-
tional Use Planned Development process, which is a public
process, there may be justifications for allowing a billboard
in a given location; therefore, the opportunity for obtaining
billboards is still available.
Mr. Micas stated that is correct.
Mr. Daniel stated there is still no second to the motion and
asked for one.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
On motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Mayes, the original
motion was amended to include an amendment to Section 21-67.19,
Use Limitations, as well as the technical amendments and the
Board adopted the following ordinance:

into a coordinated development of one or more parcels with
an aggregate size of ten acres or more.
21-67.20. Access and Internal Circulation.
(a) Purpose and Intent. The highway system in Chester-
field County reflects a major public investment which
should not be allowed to deteriorate as a result of
poorly planned, indiscriminate development activit-
ies, or inadequate consideration of future needs
resulting from County and regional growth and deve-
lopment. The County has a public trust responsibil-
ity to manage and maintain effectively each highway
within the County to preserve its functional integr
ity and public purpose. Inappropriate land develop-
ment activities and unrestricted access impair the
purpose of these highways and damage the public
investment in the County's highway system.
Every owner of property which abuts a public highway
within the County has a right to reasonable access to
the general system of highways. This right of access
is subject to regulation for the purpose of protect-
ing the public health, safety, and welfare. The
access rights of a property owner must be held
subordinate to the public's right and interest in a
safe and efficient highway system.
It is, therefore, desirable for the County to estab-
lish, through regulation, a system of access manage-
ment which will protect the functional integrity of
the highway system and the public investment in that
system.
The purpose and intent of this section is to maximize
the functional capacity and maintain the level of
service of major arterial roadways; to minimize the
number of access points to major arterials and other
public rights-of-way; to promote the sharing of
87-616
access and the ability to travel between sites; to
provide pedestrian circulation networks among resi-
dential, commercial, and recreational areas; and to
enhance safety and convenience for users of the
Corridor.
(b) Access to Major Arterial Roads.

tion Department for more than one access.
(3)
At the time of plan submission and approval, if
two or more parcels in existence prior to August
12, 1987, are placed under one ownership,
control and/or maintenance, such assembly shall
be permitted one direct access to the major
arterial, unless an access plan is submitted to,
and approved by, the Transportation Department
for more than one access.
(4)

to site plan approval. Such access plan shall be
drawn to scale, including dimensions and distances,
and clearly delineate the traffic circulation system
and the pedestrian circulation system as coordinated
with that on adjacent properties, including the
location and width of all streets, driveways, access
aisles, entrances to parking areas, walkways and
bicycle paths.

right-of-way.
Architectural treatment. No building exterior
(whether front, side, or rear) will consist of
architectural materials inferior in quality, appear-
ance, or detail to any other exterior of the same
building. Nothing in this section shall preclude the
use of different materials on different building
exteriors (which would be acceptable if representa-
tive of good architectural design) but rather, shall
preclude the use of inferior materials on sides which
face adjoining property and thus, might adversely
impact existing or future development causing a
substantial depreciation of property values. No
portion of a building constructed of unadorned cinder
block or corrugated and/or sheet metal shall be
visible from any adjoining A, R, R-TH, R-MF, or 0

21-67.22. Landscaping Requirements.
(a) Purpose and Intent.
A comprehensive landscaping program for each indivi-
dual lot or parcel within the Overlay District is
essential for the visual enhancement of the Corridor;
and to protect and promote the appearance, character,
and economic values of land along the corridor and
surrounding neighborhoods. The purpose and intent of
such landscaping requirements is also to reduce the
visibility of paved areas from adjacent properties
and streets, moderate climatic effects, minimize
noise and glare, and enhance public safety by defin-
ing spaces to influence traffic movement. Landscap-
ing will reduce the amount of storm water runoff and
provide transition between neighboring properties.

location, material, and color should strongly
relate to building and site design.

shall be encased within a structure that is
architecturally related to and compatible with
the main building(s) and overall architectural
design of the development.
(3)
Landscaping. Landscaping shall be integrated
with each individual freestanding sign. Clus-
tering of plant species shall be required to
provide a pleasing composition and mix of
vegetation. This requirement shall be depicted
on the landscaping plan as required in Section

Mr. Dodd stated the request for consideration of a crossover on

crossover that would accommodate orderly development and be
fair to both sides of Route 10 with the realization that there
is a motel under construction now, for which building permits
have probably been issued, and they should not be delayed in
any way.
On motion of Mr. Dodd, seconded by Mr. Applegate, the Board
deferred consideration of the proposed crossover on Route 10

WHEREAS, VDOT has requested the County to provide $60,000
for the installation of storm sewer on the Hopkins Road widen-
ing project from Meadowdale Boulevard to Beulah Road; and

ship with the VDOT Resident Engineer in Chesterfield County.

the Hopkins Road widening project for storm sewer installation.
Vote: Unanimous
On motion of Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Dodd, the Board
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Chesterfield Board of Supervisors enjoys an
excellent working relationship with the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) Resident Engineer for Chesterfield
County; and
WHEREAS, the County has made significant financial contri-
butions to transportation improvements in Chesterfield; and
WHEREAS, VDOT has a policy for participation in the cost
of constructing sidewalks and storm sewers on secondary road
projects; and
87-643
WHEREAS, VDOT's interpretation of the policy requires the
County to contribute funds on a run off ratio basis for storm
sewers whenever curb and gutter is desired; and
WHEREAS, the use of curb and gutter on secondary road
projects provides no direct benefit to the County but does
benefit VDOT since most urban projects can be constructed at a
lower cost with curb and gutter because less right-of-way is
required thus minimizing the impact on adjoining properties;
and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has provided VDOT with
funds for the storm sewer installation on the Hopkins Road
widening project from Meadowdale Boulevard to Beulah Road.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Super-
visors requests the Department of Transportation Commissioner
to review VDOT's interpretation of the policy and to only
request County participation in storm sewers whenever the use
of curb and gutter is not the most economical method for VDOT
to construct a secondary road.

transportation network, promote economic development, and help
preserve the quality of life in Chesterfield; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
has assured the County that Route 288 will be constructed with
an interchange at Route 10.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Super-
visors of Chesterfield County hereby approves the bid of
$25,557,956.33 for the construction of Route 288 from Route 360
to approximately one half mile west of Route 10, including an
interchange at Five Forks.
