The following item was removed from the Consent Agenda for
Board discussion:
8.B.l.c. ESTABLISHING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO
EVALUATE THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT OF THE COUNTY
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns that there is only one woman
on the list of suggested members for the proposed committee.
She further expressed concerns that the committee does not
include representatives from the real estate and development
communities or the Ettrick Business Council. She requested
that additional persons be added to the membership of the
committee.
Mr. Miller stated that members of the real estate and
development communities were not included on the committee at
his request so that the committee would concentrate on areas
other than real estate and development.
It was generally agreed that additional members be selected
for the committee.
On motion of Mr. McHale, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, the Board
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, an Economic Development Committee will be
established to evaluate the business environment of
Chesterfield County; and
02- 210
03/27/02
WHEREAS, the committee will be comprised of 12 to 15
Chesterfield business owners and managers, with a goal of
reviewing all business issues that affect companies looking
to expand or locate in Chesterfield; and in addition to
identifying beneficial elements, will identify impediments
that hinder business growth and make recommendations for
improvement; and
WHEREAS, the committee will examine ordinances, laws,
regulatory policies, local processes, taxes and any other
relevant issues, in order to recommend changes and
enhancements that will foster more investment and job
creation in the county; and
WHEREAS, the committee will consist of small, medium and
large manufacturers and non-manufacturers from all areas of
the county; will solicit additional input from other members
of the business community or representative organizations, as
appropriate; and shall meet on a timely basis and conclude
its analysis with a report to the Board of Supervisors within
nine months; and
WHEREAS, staff support for the committee will be
provided by the Department of Economic Development and other
county departments as required.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors hereby adopts this resolution
recognizing its participation in the Economic Development
Committee and acceptance of its purpose and duties.

15. REQUESTS FOR MOBILE HOME PERMITS AND REZONiNG
01SN0189 (Amended)
In Matoaca Magisterial District, DOUGLAS R. SOWERS requests
amendment to Conditional Use Planned Development (Case
88S008) and amendment of zoning district map on part of
property which is commonly known as Greenspring's Gyorgy
Tract. Specifically, the applicant desires to develop this
282.1 acre tract as a single development from the originally
zoned 1,312.7 acre tract. In general, amendments are
requested relative to the approved Master Plan; restoration
of two (2) single family structures (Ellett and Tomahawk
dwellings); provision of a golf course; road improvements and
access; land dedications and reservations; utilities;
drainage; erosion and water quality, plus relief to street
access requirements for more than fifty (50) lots. A mixed
use development consisting of residential, office and
commercial uses is planned. The density of such amendment
will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance
standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 2.0 units per acre or
less. This request lies in Residential (R-9) and Corporate
Office (0-2) Districts lying approximately 1,050 feet off the
east line of Otterdale Road, also lying approximately 1,540
feet off the north line of Genito Road. Tax ID 716-689-9201
(Sheet 9).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 01SN0189 and stated
that the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of
Amendments I through IV and Amendment VII which provide for
deletion of the requirement for a golf course; provide a cash
proffer in lieu of the land dedication in the original case;
delete the requirement to preserve and restore historic homes
on the property; and require adherence to the current water
quality and residential requirements. He further stated that
the Planning Commission and staff recommend denial of
Amendment VI that is a request to vary from the Subdivision
Ordinance requirements and have up to 250 houses without a
second access to the property. He introduced Mr. McCracken
to address Amendment V relative to transportation
improvements.
Mr. McCracken reviewed conditions of the
Greensprings development, as well as Phase
development previously approved by the Board.
original
I of the
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that staff has indicated to
developers that, if they were to request an amendment to the
Conditional Use Planned Development to eliminate the
requirement for widening of the Powhite Parkway from
Brandermill Parkway and the requirement to construct four
lanes of the extension across their property, staff would
probably support the request. He further stated that
development of the property in its entirety will generate
approximately 40,000 vehicles per day. He stated that the
02- 213
03/27/02
densities have not been reduced; therefore the traffic impact
will still be there.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that the developer of the
Phase I part of Greensprings still plans to construct the
loop road. He further stated that the loop road would cost
approximately $2 million to construct.
Mr. Warren inquired about the timeframe for completion of the
proposed loop road.
Mr. McCracken stated that it would be the developer's
obligation and completed within his timeframe. He further
stated that the conditions in effect through the phasing plan
for Phase I would restrict the amount of lots allowed prior
to construction of the road. He stated that the improvements
planned for Genito and Woolridge Roads were included in the
County's Six-Year Plan, but the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) informed the county that they were not
ready to move forward with the project.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns that

are critical to
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that VDOT is not making any
funds available at this time for the Genito/Woolridge Road
intersection improvements, and indicated that he does not
know when the loop road will be constructed.
Mr. Miller inquired about the priority of the Powhite Parkway
Extension.
Mr. McCracken stated that the extension of Powhite Parkway is
a major priority because no other road in the area will be
able to handle a significant amount of traffic as the area
develops. He further stated that VDOT would probably
consider Powhite as a primary road rather than a secondary
road; therefore, the county would compete with other
jurisdictions for road funding. He stated that, unless there
is a dramatic change, he does not anticipate funding of the
Powhite Parkway Extension at the state level; therefore, if
the developer does not provide assistance, he does not
foresee completion of the extension at any time in the
future.
Mrs. Humphrey inquired about elimination of various road
requirements included in the original development during the
zoning process for Phase I.
Mr. McCracken stated that the original Greensprings
development has zoning conditions that apply to the property
in its entirety. He further stated that Transportation staff
has always considered the assignment of the cost of the road
improvements as the property owners' concern, rather than the
county's. He stated that staff's concern is that
infrastructure is available to support the road impacts
created by development. He further stated that staff feels
construction of a road from Genito to the Powhite Parkway
would be a benefit to the public as well as the developer.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns that the obligations for
infrastructure should have been shared as the development
progressed, but were deleted from Phase I. She stated that
she is optimistic that state funding will be provided for the
Genito/Woolridge Road intersection project.
Mr. McCracken stated that the proposed development allows the
Board to choose between two sets of proffered conditions to
impose upon the developer. He further stated that with
~lternative A," the developer has agreed to build a two-lane
02- 214
03/27/02
road from his southern property line north to Old Hundred
Road.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the developer
acquiring right of way from another property owner to
construct the two-lane road in its entirety.
Mr. McCracken stated that a proffered condition provides that
the developer would approach the landowner and attempt to
acquire the right of way, but would also have the authority
to come back to the Board and request the county's assistance
to acquire the right of way with the developer paying the
cost. He further stated that, if the Board chose not to
provide assistance in acquiring the right of way, the
developer would be relieved of its obligation to construct
the road.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns that the road proposed by the
developer would not necessarily remove traffic from Genito
Road, but would simply move it to a different area.
Mr. McCracken stated that, if additional development occurs,
he anticipates a road connecting Genito to Powhite/Old
Hundred would be constructed.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that staff feels, if the
Powhite Parkway Extension is not financed through
development, it will be a critical gap to overcome.
Mr. McCracken reviewed ~lternative B~ whereby the developer
would provide $800,000 to assist with construction of
extension of the Powhite Parkway. He stated that he
anticipates the county's share of the extension would cost
approximately $1.5 million, and indicated that he does not
anticipate receiving anything from VDOT sources to assist
with the construction. He further stated that the only other
source of funding would be through the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) where the Board generally provides $600,000
annually for general road improvements. He stated that the
CIP funds would have to be designated for three years to the
Woolridge Road Project.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns that the project could cost the
county more than $1.5 million and funding would not be
available to address other necessary road projects.
Mr. McCracken stated that no construction plans have been
prepared for the project and that the costs were an estimate
and could well increase.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that the amount of cash
proffers in the shed for the proposed development is not
significant. He further stated that, when cash proffers were
calculated, the Homebuilders Association was adamant that
roads such as Powhite and Route 288 not be financed;
therefore, they were excluded from the cost calculation of
the cash proffers.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to committing future
Boards to paying out $1.5 million or more.
Mr. McCracken stated that the only funding currently
available in the CIP for road improvements is $600,000 per
year.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns that the proposed development
has been piecemealed together since the Planning Commission's
recommendation for denial.
Mr. McCracken stated that staff feels the Powhite Parkway
Extension is desperately needed. He further stated that the
02- 215
03/27/02
other road improvements identified are also needed. He
stated that if the Board must accept one proposal or the
other, then staff's recommendation would be to choose
~lternative B." He further stated that staff would
recommend the case be denied if ~lternative ~' is preferred.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the public should pay a
portion of extending a road such as Powhite Parkway because
it will carry significant traffic unrelated to development in
the area.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that part of the loop road
from Genito Road to the subject property has been graded by
the Phase I developer, but contains no asphalt.
Mr. McHale expressed concerns relative to access to the
subject property.
Mr. McCracken stated that a road connecting the subject
property to Genito Road could not be built until the
Genito/Woolridge Road intersection improvements are complete.
Discussion ensued relative to options for accessing the
subject property.
Mr. John Easter, representing the applicant, stated that the
applicant has agreed to construct Woolridge Road up to the
northern edge of the second property he has under option, and
would contribute $800,000 for the county to pay the per
linear foot cost of the 4,000 feet to link the two parcels.
He further stated that the applicant has not requested any
changes to the existing zoning, but is attempting to access
his property while providing the most important roads to the
county. He reviewed the two alternatives proposed to address
road requirements. He stated that a condition has been
proposed, as a result of concerns expressed, whereby the
applicant would not ask for more than 100 lots unless a
second emergency access was provided. He further stated
that, under both of the alternatives, the applicant would be
required to post a bond that would guarantee that the road be
built in a set time period.
When asked, Mr. Miller stated that the alternative has been
discussed with the Fire Department, indicating that their
preference would be compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance
relative to second public access.
Mr. Easter stated that the applicant has agreed not to
construct any dwellings which would southwardly access Genito
Road, in response to concerns expressed by Woodlake
residents. He further stated that the developer would not be
able to build on those lots until the loop road was
constructed or Woolridge Road is extended either to Old
Hundred Road or Powhite Parkway. He provided a comparison of
road commitments made by the applicant and the developer of
Phase I of the original Greensprings development. He stated
that the applicant attempted to provide a proposal that was
financially feasible while providing a substantial portion of
the property for preservation of a bald eagle.
When asked, Mr. Easter stated that the developer has agreed
not to send any traffic south from the development until the
proposed loop road is completed.
Mr. Miller stated that the applicant was not involved when
relief was provided to the Phase I developer. He further
stated that the applicant has a contract to purchase the
subject property if the requested relief is granted, and
indicated that the relief is not being requested for property
that the applicant already owns.
02- 216
03/27/02
When asked, Firefighter Steve Hall stated that although the
proposed condition is better than originally proposed, it
still does not meet the county's ordinance. He further
stated that the Fire Department does not support an emergency
access and indicated that, if the Board approves the proposed
development, the Fire Department would prefer the access be
paved rather than graveled.
Mr. Miller called for the public hearing.
Mr. Sean Lennon stated that his family owns property on the
corner of Woolridge Road and Powhite Parkway. He expressed
concerns that, if he were to develop his property, he might
be required to provide for the remainder of the Woolridge
Road Extension.
Mr. Mike Divita, Community Manager for the Brandermill
Community Association, expressed concerns relative to traffic
congestion and managed growth in the area of the proposed
development. He stated that developers have typically been
asked to defray the cost of transportation impacts, and
stated that it is difficult to manage growth if piecemeal
development is permitted without an effective plan or with
disregard to previously developed plans. He expressed
concerns that the taxpayers will have to bear the burden of
the Powhite Parkway Extension if the developers are granted
relief from the requirement.
Ms. Belinda Ricketts, President of the Woodlake Community
Association, expressed concerns relative to the dangerous
situation at the Woolridge/Genito Road intersection. She
requested that ~lternative B," providing an additional link
to the Powhite Parkway via Woolridge Road Extended, be
pursued and indicated that the continuation of Powhite
Parkway is critical to future development in the area. She
expressed concerns that the applicant has agreed not to
direct any additional traffic onto Genito Road until a link
is completed to the north. She urged the Board to pursue
improvements to the Genito/Woolridge Road intersection;
completion of the widening of Genito Road at Brandermill;
construction of Powhite Parkway and the bridge on the north
side of the proposed development; and completion of the
widening of Route 360.
Ms. Laurie Newill, a resident of the Clover Hill District,
requested that the Board deny the proposed request,
indicating that she feels approval would be a serious mistake
that could have ripple effects well into the future. She
expressed concerns that additional development would increase
the already congested traffic in the area, and approval of
the proposed development would set a precedent relative to
future developers addressing the impact of their developments
on roads.
Mr. Warren stated that the proposed request is different from
the Phase I request for a variety of reasons. He further
stated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
proposed request with a vote of 5-0, and the 1995 request for
Phase I had a recommendation for approval by both the
Planning Commission and staff.
Dr. Betty Hunter-Clapp, a resident of the Clover Hill
District, stated that managed growth in the area of the
proposed development is a serious problem. She expressed
concerns relative to dangerous conditions at the
Genito/Woolridge Road intersection. She stated that
residents did not object to the Phase I development in 1995
because they were told that Woolridge Road would be widened
with a bridge over the Swift Creek Reservoir and Genito Road
left undisturbed as a scenic bypass. She expressed concerns
relative to uncertainties of funding all of the necessary
02- 217
03/27/02
road improvements, and implored the Board to deny the
request.
There being no one else to speak to the request, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Easter stated that the developer has agreed to provide
over $1 million in on-site road improvements in addition to
$800,000 for off-site road improvements.
Discussion ensued relative to the Planning Commission's
approval of Phase I and the conditions that were imposed in
1995.
Mr. Barber stated that the Board has relied heavily over the
past ten years on the staff and Planning Commission to work
through zoning cases and bring recommendations to the Board.
He further stated that he feels the Board should consider
roads as a local issue on the next bond referendum. He
stated that he is confused about opposition from Brandermill
because he feels the proposal will eliminate traffic in
Brandermill. He further stated that he does not feel
providing some relief in this case sets a precedent because
each request should be dealt with individually. He stated
that he is uncomfortable making improvements to zoning
conditions at the Board of Supervisors level over a number of
months with cases being deferred, and indicated that the work
should have been done at the Planning Commission level. He
further stated that he hopes the Board will not replicate
this mistake as future cases come forward.
Mr. Warren stated that he will not support the request
because it fails to fully address the needed road
improvements; will adversely affect Genito Road traffic; and
further impact school overcrowding. He further stated that
the developer is not paying the full impact of the cost of
public facilities; therefore, the public will eventually have
to pay the cost.
Mr. McHale stated that he, too, is uncomfortable with the
case. He further stated that the condition that Mrs.
Humphrey is prepared to impose, and the applicant has agreed
to, will keep traffic off Genito Road. He stated that the
applicant is making significant contributions towards road
construction. He further stated that if the case is denied
and the roads are not built, traffic will not get any better.
He stated that there is reasonable hope that traffic
conditions will improve if the project is approved, and
indicated that he will support the project.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns that the communities west of
Swift Creek Reservoir can only access Genito Road or Hull
Street Road. She stated that she has looked diligently for
arterial alternatives, some of which will require public/
private funding and some of which will require developer
funding. She also expressed concerns relative to
preservation of the bald eagle on the subject property. She
stated that she feels the Phase I development was approved in
1995 with mislaid conditions and reevaluated roads because
the focus was on Route 288 and preservation of the Swift
Creek Reservoir. She read two additional conditions that she
is requesting the Board to impose upon the developer.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion for the Board to approve
Case 01SN0189 (which includes the Conditions set forth in the
staff analysis), subject to the imposition of Conditions "1
and 2" (now shown as Conditions 6 and 7 in the minutes); the
acceptance of Proffered Conditions 1, 2, and 5 through 9, as
recommended by the Planning Commission; and Proffered
Conditions 3 and 10, as recommended by staff.
02- 218

When asked, Mr. Easter stated
recommendation is acceptable.
that Mrs. Humphrey's
Mr. McHale seconded Mrs. Humphrey's motion.
Mr. Miller stated that he was a member of the Planning
Commission in 1995 when the Phase I request was heard, but
was not in attendance. He expressed concerns that the
current request was not remanded to the Planning Commission;
the proposed development exceeds the subdivision ordinance
requirements for a second public access; and the taxpayers
will eventually be responsible for funding the roads. He
stated that there are numerous road projects in the Dale
District that will need to be funded through the Capital
Improvement Program, and expressed concerns that the funding
might not be available. He stated that he generally supports
the supervisor in whose district the property lies, but
indicated that he will abstain from voting on the request.
Mr. Miller called for a vote on the motion of Mrs. Humphrey,
seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board to approve Case
01SN0189 subject to the following conditions:
