2. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS
2.A. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Mr. Tim Conner, the engagement partner from KPMG, LLP,
presented the county's FY2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
Mr. Holland thanked Mr. Conner for his efforts in the
auditing process. He also commended staff involved in the
audit process for their great performance.
Mr. Stegmaier also recognized staff of the Accounting, Budget
and Internal Audit departments for their thorough report and
outstanding performance.
Mr. Kevin Bruny, Dean of Chesterfield University, provided an
update to the Board regarding Chesterfield County's Talent
Management .process. He stated the plan is to establish annual
strategic succession management .goals; articulate leadership
competencies; and identify key positions.
Mr. Holland commended Mr. Bruny for his presentation and his
continued efforts relative to maintaining a successful and
talented workforce.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Bruny stated the
analysis focused on individuals who fall into Grade 40 and
above of the county's pay structure. He further stated each
department has its overall workforce planning efforts in
place. He noted the talent management process is geared
towards future potential and ensuring there is bench strength
in place.
Mr. Warren stressed the importance of individuals who are not
in the top salary range and continued efforts to value their
talents in order to remain competitive.
Mr. Holland concurred with Mr. Warren's remarks.
Mr. Decker inquired about obtaining a copy of the Talent
Management presentation.
Mr. Stegmaier then shared with the Board a short video from

Mr. Holland recognized all public safety personal who were in
the audience.
Mr. Roy Covington, Director of Utilities, provided an update
to the Board on the Appomattox River Water Authority. He
highlighted background information and project planning
pertaining to the raising of the Brasfield Dam. He stated
based on the lack of any significant long-term differences in
the frequency of entering into and the duration of remaining
in water restrictions with the addition of the 18" dam raise
compared with the long-term off-site storage facility and the
upcoming capital project funding needs, Appomattox River
Water Authority staff recommends proceeding forward only on a
long-term off-site storage project predicated upon the site
being formalized within the next five years. He further
stated ARWA staff recommends that every five years an
evaluation of ARWA supply and demand be conducted. He noted
since the dam raise project presented the lowest cost per MGD
of reliable service level increase, ARWA staff suggests that
the ARWA Board determines if this is an overarching priority
to continue proceeding with this project despite the expected
difficulty of receiving regulatory approvals.
Mr. Elswick expressed appreciation for Mr. Covington's
valuable service to the county and commended his tenacity.
In response to Mr . Elswick' s question regarding the price of
the off-site project, Mr. Covington stated the project is
estimated somewhere between $90-$95 million, and will yield
five to seven billion gallons of water. He further stated
Henrico has budgeted $280 million for their project, which
will yield an additional 47 million gallons per day withdrawn
from the James River, with an estimated $6 million per
million gallons per day. He stated he does think the
conditions of the new permit are extremely favorable and a
great improvement. He further stated that developing an
opinion and recommendations based on a one-year experience
under the new operating permit does not seem to be reasonable
in terms of what may be needed in 100 years. He stated the
price of the project, benefits of the project and how it
supplements the existing reservoir are known. He further
stated this is an opportunity to take advantage of all the
cost effective tools being made available.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question regarding surrounding
properties on the lowest level of Lake Chesdin, Mr. Covington
stated the water supply plan identified variations of raising
the dam from 18 inches up to 3 feet, and the impacts of the
whole, range were taken into consideration. He further stated
there may be some piers or boathouses that may be affected at
18 inches;- however, 18 inches was selected to minimize
affects to existing structures and cost of wetlands impacts.
Ms. Jaeckle commended Mr. Covington's conscientious and clear
thinking and stated he will truly be missed after he retires.
In regards to Mr. Stegmaier's question, Mr. Covington stated
the 18-inch dam raise still leaves the level of the water
within the land that the Appomattox River Water Authority
already owns.
In regards to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Covington stated
there is no real guarantee that the General Assembly will
continue to match funds in the future. In terms of property
owners, he stated they generally favor and appreciate an
increase in water supply to Lake Chesdin for recreational
purposes. He noted he does not believe additional lots will
be available for water frontage. He stated an ARWA meeting is
scheduled in January to discuss the dam-raise initiative. He
further stated funding of capital projects are generally

(AMENDED) In Bermuda Magisterial District, Twin Rivers, LLC
requests amendment of conditional use planned development
(Case 08SN0111) relative to conceptual plan, uses,
development standards, access and reduction of cash proffers
and amendment of zoning district map in a Community Business
(C-3) District on 67.7 acres located in the southwest corner

Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for

Mr. Turner stated Ms. Jaeckle is requesting a 30-day deferral
to the December 10, 2014 regularly scheduled meeting.
Mr. Brennen Keene, representing the applicant, accepted the
deferral.
Mr. Holland called for public comment.
Mr. Paul Grasewicz expressed concerns with the deferral
request. He urged the Board to hear the case in its entirety
in order for citizens to voice their opinions.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau asked the Board to approve the case with
the original proffers or deny the case because it fails to
cover the cost to the county for the proposed development. He
expressed concerns relative to the deferral request.
Ms. Lisa Beauchamp, vice president of the Surreywood Civic
Association, expressed concerns with the deferral request.
She urged the Board to hear the case in its entirety in order
for citizens to voice their opinions.
Ms. Sandy Brasili expressed concerns with the deferral
request. She urged the Board to hear the case in its entirety
in order for citizens to voice their opinions.
Mr. Bob Olsen expressed concerns with the deferral request
and urged the Board to remand the case back to the Planning

request and the number of times it has been deferred.
Mr. George Emerson, the applicant, stated he has been trying
for over a year to deliver a state-of-the-art community to
the Bermuda District that would be the anchor for the
Meadowville Technology Park. He requested a 60-day deferral
in order to revamp the proposal. He noted the product will
not work with the current proffers and he is at a point that
he may want to downzone it to a "tiny" project, possibly age-
restricted housing.
Ms. Brenda Stewart expressed concerns with the lack of
notification to the citizens relative to the deferral
request.
No one else came forward to speak to the deferral.
14-749
11/19/14
Ms. Jaeckle stated the case was previously deferred due to
the analysis of the proffer policy by the Board of
Supervisors. She further stated it did not seem fair to hear
a case asking for the relief of proffers while the Board was
making a decision about the cash proffer policy and the
multi-family component of the case. She expressed concerns
relative to the applicant's decision to downgrade the
project. She stated the proposal will only enhance the
surrounding area by bringing a high-quality product to the
Bermuda District. She noted citizens that live around the
area are not opposed to the proposal and it will not have a
direct effect on property values. She stated she is inclined
to defer the case.
Mr. Keene stated considering the discussion, a final deadline
should be made to resolve any concerns. He further stated
there has been a lot of discussion relative to the case on
the cash proffer issue, along with ambiguity and uncertainty
throughout the process.
Ms. Jaeckle made a motion to defer Case 12SN0227 to the
February 2015 regularly scheduled meeting.
Ms. Jaeckle noted the case would not be deferred again.
Ms. Jaeckle's motion died due to lack of a second.
Mr. Gecker stated the issue is not the additional proffers,
but the fundamental issue is the economics of the project to
the developer. He further stated there does not seem to be a
sentiment on the part of the Board to reduce the proffers in
the case. He stated he does not believe the issue is specific
only to the Bermuda District. He further stated it was the
sentiment on part of the Board to make a decision on a case
by case basis; however, it was his preference to set some
rules in the road to avoid the uncertainty in an unseemly,
serial process of discussing the same case. He stated if the
case is restyled, as the applicant suggested, it should be
remanded back to the Planning Commission. He expressed
concerns relative to the continuous deferral of the case.
Mr. Holland fully concurred with Mr. Gecker's remarks.
Mr. Warren suggested that the applicant start anew, if he
plans to restructure the case. He stated it is the Board's
responsibility to represent the citizens of the county. He
further stated he is inclined to deny the case and have the
applicant submit a redesigned application.
Ms. Jaeckle stressed the importance of the difference in
caliber of development. She commended Mr. Warren for starting
the proffer policy in the early 1990s, when Chesterfield was
an evenly distributed county; however, developers are not
presently motivated to fully pay cash proffers due to
changing factors.
Mr. Mincks noted the Board can make a substitute deferral
motion or the case can be heard by the Board. He stated the
case can be withdrawn by the applicant.
Mr. Emerson urged the Board hear the case in its entirety. He
expressed concerns with the process. He noted there is
support of area residents for the proposal.
Mr. Keene asked the Board to consider moving the presentation
of the case to end of the zoning agenda.

Mr. Ryan Ramsey presented a summary of Case 15SN0534 and
stated the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
request because the keeping of a pet pig will have an adverse
impact on adjoining property owners. He further stated staff
continues to recommend that after public input, should the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors wish to approve
the request, acceptance of the proffered conditions would be
appropriate, which would minimize any adverse impacts upon
neighboring properties. He noted staff has received a
petition in support of the case with 556 signatures from the
applicant. He further noted staff has received 4 letters of
opposition and 36 letters of support have been submitted on
behalf of the request.

world. He shared a graphic with the Board of where opposition
and support was located within the neighborhood.

social media likely attributed to public attention of the
case. He noted he has not received a letter of support from
any specific organization associated with Kunekune pigs.
Mr. Mark Johnson stated his family is requesting a
conditional use to permit a residential stock farm (keeping a
pig) in a Residential (R-7) District. He further stated his
family adopted Tucker because his wife is allergic to dogs,
they wanted to teach their children about care taking and pet
responsibility similar to dogs and researched and found pet
pigs have many of the same characteristics as pet dogs with
some advantages. He then reviewed the health and social
benefits of pets. He noted Tucker is registered with the
National Service Animal Registry as' an emotional support
animal deemed necessary to assist his owner. He urged the
Board to review the ordinance to see what other reasonable
pets should be allowed; grant the conditional use permit; and
allow other families to enjoy different reasonable pets that
fit families' needs.
Mr. Holland called for public comment.
Mr. Freddy Boisseau, Bermuda District resident, stated the
applicant has not created a trespass or nuisance on his
neighbors. He noted the applicant would be allowed to have

county ordinance. He then urged the Board to approve the
case.
Mr. Joe Herbst, chairman of the Neighborhood Residents
Council of Brandermill, stated pet pigs may reduce property
values and hurt property sales in the vicinity of the

stated pet pigs have the same characteristics and emotional
comfort of many animals, especially dogs. She asked that the

basis.

use permit to the applicant. He also urged the Board to

not created a trespass or nuisance on his neighbors.

expressed concerns with county restrictions set on animals.

Mr. Robert Pratt, a neighboring property owner, expressed
concerns relative to the containment of the animal and the
subjectivity of media publicity and unwanted attention. He
urged the Board to deny the request.
Ms. Tammy Yancey, a pet owner, promoted the domestication of
pigs as pets. She noted the applicant keeps the pig indoors
and is periodically let outside into a fenced rear yard under
supervision. She asked the Board to reexamine the county
ordinance to allow the keeping of pigs in residential areas.
She urged the Board to approve the request.
Mr. Greg Pearson, a neighboring property owner, opposed the
conditional use permit. He stated the request would set a
precedent for more stock farm animal requests in residential
areas, would reduce property values and hurt property sales
in the vicinity of request, and neighborhood covenants and
restrictions limit the use of certain animals.

to approve the family's request to keep their pet pig. She
also asked the Board to reexamine the county ordinance to

certain animals in residential areas.
Mr. Mark Johnson clarified that Tucker the pig was only
outside on a leash while the fence was being built. He stated
the process has been challenging and emotionally draining on
the family. He noted there is no data to support the idea
that the keeping of a pig will reduce property values in the
vicinity of his request. He stated he suffers from a
physiological disorder and Tucker the pig offers emotional
therapy and support. He urged the Board to grant his
conditional use request.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Warren stated the opinions of those in support and
opposition of the case allows the Board to define the
specifics of the case. He noted that due to the recent
passing of his brother-in-law, he was unable to review all
the logistics relative to the proposal. He stated, while

doing research, he was taken aback by the variety of exotic
pets a person could own. He expressed concerns relative to
the impact and possible precedent of permitting a pig to be
kept in the Brandermill community as well as residential
areas of the county. He suggested deferring the case for 60
days in order for the family to enjoy their time with their
pet through the holidays and continue to look at the input
provided by the public to determine a final decision.
