6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. WATER QUALITY MANDATES
Mr. McElfish reviewed mandates for water quality from the
state and federal levels and discussed their impacts on the
FY2014 Budget and Capital Improvement Program. He stated over
the next ten years, two storm water programs - one state and
one federal - will have significant impacts on Chesterfield's
budget, services and citizens. He further stated the
Chesapeake Bay has a long history of water quality issues,
and numerous strategies have been deployed with limited
success. He stated both mandates require decisions in the
short-term with lasting implications. He further stated the
purpose of the changes is to reduce nitrogen, phosphorous and
sediments that enter waters locally and are transported to
J
J
12-686
12/12/12
the Bay. He stated the state mandated local Virginia
Stormwater Management Program, with more stringent quality
requirements, will begin July 1, 2014, and the federal
mandate will be enforced through the county's M54 permit. He
further stated to meet mandatory deadlines, additional
funding for personnel and associated operations are needed in
FY2014 and beyond. He noted Board action will be needed in
order to fund VSMP operations and Chesapeake Bay Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) investments.
In response to Mr. Elswick's questions, Mr. McElfish stated
an additional three to six employees will be required in the
current fiscal. year to implement the new stormwater
regulations and the VSMP. He further stated the $250 million
is an estimate, but implementing the changes, making the
necessary facility improvements and maintaining the
equipment, will be costly. In regards to the 28 percent
remittance to the state of the base fee, he stated a
percentage will go towards continuous training, upkeep of the
BMP clearing house.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's concerns, Mr. McElfish stated
the previous strategies deployed were thought to be
successful by regulating from the fall line to the east, not
taking into account the rest of the watershed.
Mr. Gecker stated the policy is exceedingly expensive and
does not take into account the difference between urban and
suburban areas and other factors.
Mr. McElfish stated the county will need to create a
Chesapeake Bay Action Plan and hire a consultant to evaluate
what the county is already doing, such as using BMPs or
letting grass grow in certain park areas.
Mr. Warren stated Chesterfield has always been a leader in
the area of environmental protection. He expressed concerns
relative to the cost of implementing another massive plan.
Mr. McElfish stated many localities are concerned with both
mandates to some extent.
In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Mr. McElfish stated
surveys were conducted relative to cost to implement various
programs at the local level. He further stated fees that will
be applied will be drastically higher than the current VSMP
fee. He stated the development community has been involved in
lowering pounds per acre runoff.
Mr. Holland stated he remains cautious to adding costs and
hopes a reasonable approach can be executed to minimize the
costs to the county moving forward.
Mr. McElfish stated both state and federal inspections will
be conducted every five years to maintain program compliance.
Mr. Holland stressed the importance of communication between
the state and federal level relative to incurring significant
capital costs and operational costs.
Mr. Larry Land, Director of Policy Development from the
Virginia Association of Counties (VACo), stated stormwater
management regulations has been an ongoing issue. He further
stated within the legislative program there is a position
that does support giving greater degree of study to the fee
structure. He stated the seventy-two to twenty-eight split is
something that needs to be evaluated, as well as other
important components of the program. He further stated the
12-687
12/12/12
distribution of revenues in the rewrite of the stormwater
management law was not changed.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Land stated there
are a lot of unknowns relative to achieving the desired
result. He further stated most of the provided information is
based upon computer modeling that has been developed over the
last few years and there have been questions to the accuracy
of that model. He stated as localities have gone through the
process of comparing information in the model to actual on-
the-ground realities, discrepancies have been found.
Mr. Holland suggested quantifying operational and capital
costs and looking at various localities that are impacted in
Virginia before making a reasonable decision.
Mr. Land stated some criticism VACo faced regarding the
approach to the stormwater management legislation as the
General Assembly considered it, were concerns that a fiscal
impact analysis was not completed in order for the idea to
proceed.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Land stated he is
not aware of any attempts by the state to receive cost
information from the Environmental Protection Agency. He
further stated he is not satisfied with the federal level
that there is the concern about local fiscal impacts. He
noted it is important that localities communicate the
problems they face with the implementation of the program.

In Bermuda Magisterial District, Holiday Signs requests
conditional use planned development approval and amendment of
zoning district map to permit exceptions to ordinance
requirements relative to signage in a General Business (C-5)
District on 1 acre known as 2520 West Hundred Road. Density
will be controlled by zoning conditions or ordinance
standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for general commercial use. Tax ID 799-654-0882.
Mr. Robert Clay presented a summary of Case 13SN0105 and
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject
to the condition. He further stated staff recommended denial
because the current sign standards of the ordinance provide
adequate identification for uses on the property and are
designed to bring oversized signs closer to compliance with
current requirements and approval of the request could
encourage other businesses to seek similar exceptions,
leading to proliferation of oversized signs. He stated the
non-conforming freestanding sign identifying an existing
restaurant on the property was recently damaged during a
storm, event. He further stated the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the sign noting it was a
repair/maintenance issue and was not done in malice or with
intent to violate the ordinance. He stated there was
opposition present at the Planning Commission meeting, noting
the sign should be brought into compliance.

Mr. Allan Twedt, representing the applicant, stated the sign
was recently damaged during a storm event and the damaged
sign was dangerously hanging out of the frame. He noted the
signage was not rebranded, only replaced. He stated the
process was followed by guidelines outlaid in the Zoning
Ordinance concerning the re-facing of freestanding signs. He
requested the Board's approval of the request.
Mr. Gecker called for public comment.
Mr. Paul Grasewicz stated the signage should be brought into
compliance with current ordinance requirements. He encouraged
the Board to deny the request.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau stated the sign is consistent with the
signs that are surrounding area businesses. He urged the
Board to approve the request.
Mr. Bob Olsen stated the sign should be brought into
compliance with the current ordinance. He noted many refaced
non-compliant signs handled by the applicant throughout the
county. He urged the Board to deny the request.
Mr. Ralph Carter expressed concerns relative to the current
sign standards of the ordinance. He encouraged the Board to
reexamine their rules and regulations.
There being no one else to speak to the request, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Twedt stated there was a national sign company involved
in the process that was under the impression the sign was
under compliance based on the standards of the ordinance. He
further stated an apology was issued by a representative of
the national sign company at the second Planning Commission
meeting after the company was told the sign was illegally
refaced. He stated the repair was done for the safety of the
citizens. He further stated many high profile businesses in
the county have rebranded and re-faced their signage that has
gone unnoticed. He encouraged the Board to approve the
request.
In response to Mr. Elswick's questions, Mr. Twedt stated it
would cost $40,000 to bring the sign into compliance and
$7,000 to repair the sign. He further stated the face needs
to be removed in order to maintain the electrical aspect of
the sign.
Mr. Elswick stated it was reasonable to allow the business
owner to repair a damaged and unsafe sign.
In response to Mr. warren's question, Mr. Twedt stated an
apology was issued on behalf of the national sign company
based on the understanding it was in compliance.
Ms. Jaeckle noted staff believed the sign had been refaced
and the complaint was closed. She stated a representative
appeared before the Planning Commission to apologize for the
sign being in violation, because it was their understanding
that the signage fit the county's criteria for a re-facing..

refacing was completed based on the ordinance language.

are still larger in square footage than area businesses'
signage. He further stated he does not believe the sign was
illegally refaced.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the sign was repaired due to storm damage
and it poses an unreasonable cost burden on the business to
bring the sign into compliance.
Mr. Twedt stated the national sign company decided to repair
the damaged sign with the understanding that the sign could
be repaired based on the language within the ordinance.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the sign is identical to the previous
signage. She further stated it was reasonable to allow a
business owner to repair a damaged and unsafe sign.
Ms. Jaeckle then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Elswick, for
the Board to approve Case 13SN0105, subject to the following
condition:
The total area of the freestanding sign shall not exceed 179
square feet. The sign height shall not exceed thirty (30)
feet. (P)
