6. WORK SESSIONS
o MANUFACTURED HOME PARK PROJECT
Mr. Jacobson presented the strategy recommended by Planning
staff and the Planning Commission to address issues within
manufactured home parks intended to improve the living
conditions within the parks and assist in the revitalization
and improvement of the communities surrounding the manufactured
homes. He reviewed the four major elements of the plan: pro-
active code enforcement; amend MH-1 zoning requirements; create
new MH-3 zoning district; and address substandard mobile home
parks.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that MH-2 zoning allows
homeowners to purchase lots within manufactured home
subdivisions and noted that Millside is currently the only M H-2
zoned area in the County. He showed photographs of well
maintained manufactured home parks as well as older parks that
are not in good condition and stated that the fundamental
issues include crowded conditions and public safety.
Concerns were expressed relative to the existence of multi-
family cabanas within the manufactured home parks.
Mr. Jacobson stated that staff is proposing to lower the number
and extent of standards for the MH-1 zoning, while still
requiring no more than eight units per acre and sixteen feet
between one unit to the other. He further stated that the new
MH-3 zoning will have higher standards which will be imposed
upon any new parks established in the County. He stated that
the plan is to bring the existing parks to the MH-1 standards
over time. He reviewed the standards that are proposed to be
eliminated or reduced from MH-1 including landscaping;
recreational facilities; minimum lot size; street width and
setbacks. He stated that the reason for eliminating or
reducing certain standards is to minimize changes that the
better parks must make to comply.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns
recreational facilities.
relative to
eliminating
8/22/01
01-626
Mr. McHale expressed concerns relative to the impact decreased
street widths would have on public safety.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the requirement for two parking spaces
per unit is not being eliminated and indicated that requiring
one space to be next to the unit and allowing for group parking
will provide the flexibility requested by the park owners. He
further stated that parallel street parking would be permitted
as long as the required sixteen foot street width was not
obstructed. He stated that the method for bringing the
existing parks up to the MH-1 standards will be to require that
spacing standards be met as units are moved out before they can
be replaced, and indicated that certain park-wide standards can
be applied over time after a significant number of units has
moved out and new ones moved in.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to the difficulty of
bringing the existing parks up to the new standards, noting
that units could not be replaced unless coincidentally two side
by side units both moved.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the County's
inability to force the removal of multi-family cabanas from
manufactured home parks and also the proposal for eliminating
the requirement for recreational areas.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Planning Commission recommended
eliminating the requirement for recreational areas after
residents expressed concerns that the requirement might lead to
increased rent.
Discussion ensued relative to the number of rental units within
the manufactured home parks.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the proposal provides an incentive for
park owners not to move units as residents move out; and
therefore a strategy of increased code enforcement and
redevelopment is proposed for substandard parks.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the proposal appears to be more
of a disincentive for units to become rental property with the
necessity for maintenance and improvements. He questioned the
possibility of tying the provision for amenities such as
playgrounds with relief from density issue requirements.
Mr. Jacobson stated that, after extensive research, the Fire
Department was comfortable with the minimum sixteen foot
separation between units.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels it would be worthwhile to have
the flexibility of granting relief to various requirements as
an incentive for providing amenities.
Mr. Jacobson reviewed proposed standards for the new MH-3
District including lowered density to six dwelling units per
acre; the provision for a recreational area; street trees;
sidewalks; streetlights; and underground utilities. He stated
that park owners have expressed concerns relative to the
proposed MH-1 requirements for emergency access and a second
access for parks containing at least ten acres, as well as
setbacks.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to resources for
providing sidewalks in manufactured home parks and noted that
the County has difficulties with developers providing sidewalks
in subdivisions.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Planning Commission did not feel
the ordinance changes and proactive code enforcement under
8/22/01
01-627
existing codes would require owners to improve the poor,
substandard parks that exist in the County. He further stated
that the Commission is, therefore, recommending a two-phased
program: 1) staff is to research all codes as well as police
power codes and estimate impact for Board consideration; and 2)
if the Board approves, request that staff prepare a
redevelopment program for some of the worst parks.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that redevelopment could be
addressed through Community Development Block Grant funds or
through innovative partnerships.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to what would happen to
the residents if the County were to purchase certain
manufactured home parks for redevelopment.
Mr. Jacobson stated that, if federal funding was used, the
County would be required to provide relocation for the
residents and, therefore, a relocation plan would be necessary.
He further stated that additional affordable housing
opportunities are now available in the vicinity of most of the
older parks including Habitat for Humanity ventures and
Winchester Green. He stated that a relocation plan would need
to be developed very carefully to afford residents with better
living situations and indicated that efforts would be made to
encourage single family neighborhoods and businesses to invest
in their community by making improvements.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she is able to distinguish between
the needs of residents living peacefully in their manufactured
homes and manufactured home park owners who have not properly
maintained their facilities. She expressed concerns relative
to the recommendation for lowering MH-1 standards. She stated
that she feels recreational areas should be required in mobile
home parks. She expressed concerns relative to the substandard
living conditions that exist in multi-family cabanas, and
stated that her primary concern is for the current and future
residents of manufactured home parks rather than the needs and
wishes of the manufactured home park owners.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to manufactured home
park owners who have bank notes based on the number of units
provided and the expected revenue and stated that the Board
needs to be cautious relative to the impact of additional
requirements of the park owners.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the fears expressed by
park residents relative to the proposal include increased rent
and redevelopment of the park by the owner which would force
them to relocate.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to misinformation that
was purposely spread to residents of the manufactured home
parks that the County wanted to eliminate the parks.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that there are still a number of concerns
that need to be addressed and expressed her desire to set the
public hearing date for November 14, 2001 rather than September
26, 2001.
7. DEFERR~ ITEMS
TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS ~ ADOPTION OF VARIOUU
ADMINISTRATIV~ POLICIES REOUiRING BACKGROUND Cw~CKS
COUNTy VOLUNTEERS; RESCUE SOUAD VOLUNTEERS AND
VOLUNTEERS/COACHES OF CO-SPONSORED RECREATION GROUPR
Mr. Mike Chernau, Senior Assistant County Attorney, stated that
the Board held a public hearing on April 4, 2001 and deferred
8/22/01
01-628
consideration of amendments and adoption of various
administrative policies requiring background checks for County
volunteers who work with juveniles, rescue squad volunteers and
volunteers/coaches of co-sponsored recreation groups. He
further stated that the Board is being asked to consider three
proposals: 1) the ordinance and policies recommended by the
Volunteer Background Check Committee appointed by Mr. Ramsey
which were approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission; 2) Mr. Ramsey's modifications to the proposals
relative to the search of the Child Protective Service Central
Registry held by the Department of Social Services; and 3) an
alternative proposal recommended by Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller reviewed his suggested changes to the list of
barrier crimes and all other crimes that would render an
individual ineligible to volunteer with juveniles, rescue
squads or co-sponsored recreation groups. He proposed that the
following crimes be considered barrier crimes: any felonies
against the person as defined by the Code of Virginia;
felonious discharge of firearms within or at occupied
dwellings; any attempts or conspiracy to commit any of the
listed crimes in the proposed policy; and any crimes against
minors, whether felony or misdemeanor. He also proposed that
no volunteer be allowed to participate if they have a pending
charge against a minor until the charges have been dismissed or
the person is found not guilty. He expressed concerns relative
to the review of pending charges for barrier crimes against
minors on a case by case basis and stated that he feels that
persons who have been accused of crimes against minors should
be barred until the charges are satisfactorily resolved. He
stated that, although he is a proponent of less government, he
feels this action is necessary for protection of children
because of the County's co-sponsorship of the various
organizations.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to obtaining information
accurately and at a reasonable cost.
Mr. Ramsey stated that the Volunteer Background Check Committee
had recommended both the criminal and Social Services
background checks. He further stated that he recommended
criminal background checks only because most of the groups had
expressed concerns with the extensive information required to
perform the Social Services background check. He stated that
there will be a significant cost savings if the Board
implements criminal background checks only.
Mr. Chernau stated that the cost for implementation of both
checks is estimated at $60,000 to $90,000.
Mr. Ramsey stated that the County implemented a background
check process for its employees who work with juveniles in
November 1999. He further stated that Human Resources has
streamlined the process since its inception.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to regulation of private
organizations by the County. He stated that he feels
background checks are a good idea but does not feel the Board
should be responsible for providing this type of security for
parents simply because it provides ballfields and gym space for
the organizations. He referenced teachers who had been falsely
accused of crimes against minors and expressed concerns
relative to barring individuals from volunteering who have
pending charges.
Mr. Miller stated that he feels it would be irresponsible to
allow a person who has a pending charge for child molestation
to volunteer with children. He further stated that he feels
the best interest of children is the issue that should be
considered.
01-629
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns relative to rescue squad
volunteers with pending drug-related charges and stated that
she supports Mr. Miller's proposal.
Mr. McHale expressed concerns relative to background checks
having a negative impact on voluntarism. He stated that many
jurisdictions throughout the nation have successfully
implemented background checks for volunteers. He further
stated that, although the ordinance may not be perfect, it has
been improved greatly and feels it is necessary to provide
minimal protection of children. He stated that he supports Mr.
Miller's proposed amendments as well as Mr. Ramsey's
recommendation.
Discussion ensued relative to implementation of the process.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels it would be prudent for the
Board to institute a review process for people who are denied
the opportunity to volunteer because of a harmless mistake,
such as the sale of cigarettes to minors, which may have been
made many years ago at a much younger age.
Mr. Chernau stated that limitation of the barrier crime
category concerning minors to felonies might address Mr.
Barber's concerns.
Mr. Miller stated that it was not his intent to include an
offense such as the sale of cigarettes to minors as a barrier
crime.
Mr. Chernau stated that a distinction could be made between
felonies and misdemeanors, with misdemeanor convictions
considered on a case by case basis.
Mr. Barber stated that, if a standard appeals process were
implemented, he feels that only persons with legitimate appeals
would utilize the process, rather than persons who committed
serious crimes.
Mr. Micas stated the policy could include a provision that
persons convicted at least five years ago of misdemeanors
against juveniles could file an appeal for relief from that
barrier crime.
Mr. Miller stated that he feels the possibility of an appeals
process for misdemeanor crimes against juveniles can be
explored later, but indicated that he does not feel the issue
of background checks should be delayed further. He expressed
concerns that certain misdemeanor crimes against minors would
be eligible for an appeal.
Mr. McHale stated that he feels the Board should act upon the
issue now and explore the possibility of an appeals process
after implementation of the policy if concerns are expressed by
constituents who are unnecessarily barred from volunteering.
Mr. Barber stated that he has less reservations with putting
the program into place than with adding an appeals process. He
further stated that he feels the Board should take this
opportunity to set up an appeals process.
Mr. Miller suggested that his proposed language under Crimes
Against Minors be amended to read, "Any conviction for crimes
against the person or property of minors, felony or
misdemeanors, inclusive of the crimes set forth above." He
stated that this would provide a more narrow definition and
address some of Mr. Barber's concerns.
8/22/01
01-630
Discussion ensued relative to the definition of crimes against
property.
Mr. Miller made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board
to approve the administrative policies presented, as amended by
Mr. Miller, requiring background checks for County volunteers,
rescue squad volunteers and volunteers/coaches of co-sponsored
recreation groups and adopt the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE
COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED BY

Ayes: Humphrey, Miller, Barber, McHale and Warren.
Nays: None.
01-631 8/22/01
Mr. Miller clarified that his motion included only criminal
background check, not a Social Services check.
Mr. Ramsey stated that some of the organizations had questioned
whether the County would consider performing Social Services
background checks if requested by the organization.
Mr. Micas stated that, because this request was included in the
agenda item, it should be considered a part of Mr. Miller's
motion for approval unless he clarifies otherwise.
Mr. Miller clarified that he did not intend for the issue of
providing Social Services background checks for organizations
upon request to be a part of his motion.
Mr. Miller excused himself from the meeting.

INITIATION OF A VARIANCE APPLICATION ON BEH~T.m OF
TRI-CITIES HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO BUILD ON A NON
CONFORMING LOT
Mr. George Beadles referenced the Board's adopted policy for
appointing agents for Planning Commission and Board initiated
zoning cases and stated that an agent was not listed in the
agenda item for initiation of a variance application on behalf
of Tri-Cities Habitat for Humanity. He suggested that, instead
of the Board initiating applications, the application fee be
provided through District Improvement Funds, thus allowing the
property owner's name to appear as applicant.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that Habitat for Humanity has purchased
two lots in Ettrick, one of which contains 3.1 feet less than
the 50 foot lot width requirement. She requested that Mr. Kirk
Turner serve as the County's agent for the variance
application.
Mr. Stith stated that the omission of an agent was an oversight
and Mr. Turner will serve as the County's agent.
On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. McHale, the Board
initiated a variance application for a 3.1-foot exception to
the fifty-foot lot width requirement and a 597 square foot
exception to the 7,000 square foot lot area requirement on
behalf of Tri-Cities Habitat for Humanity.

16, HEARINGS QF CITIZENS ON UNSCHEDULED MATTERS OR CLAIMS
O CLAIM OF RETIRED POLICE OFFICER A, V, ~'BUCK" MADDRA
Mr. Micas stated that the claim of retired police officer A. V.
"Buck" Maddra is similar to a claim of eight police officers
heard by the Board in June 1999. He further stated that staff
recommends denial of the claim based on the information in the
agenda item.
Mr. Ned Mikula, representing retired police officer A. V. "Buck"
Maddra, presented a brief history of Mr. Maddra's 34 years with
the Police Department during which he arose to the rank of
major. He stated that Mr. Maddra's claim is being made in an
effort to rectify pay discrepancies. He further stated that,
after the claim was filed, information was received that
indicated an adjustment was provided to Mr. Maddra in October
1997, in the amount of $3,869, as an attempt by the County to
partially rectify the injustices. He noted that the petition
is now being amended to reflect the figure of $53,149. He
stated that he feels it is an uncontested fact that the salary
injustices did occur. He introduced Mr. Jeff Thomas, a former
certified public accountant employed by Mr. Maddra to review
his personnel files relative to compensation, and requested one
additional minute to address the Board following Mr. Thomas
addressing the Board.
Mr. Jeff Thomas stated that, after reviewing Mr. Maddra's
complete personnel file focusing on compensation adjustments,
he has determined that Mr. Maddra's pay was negatively impacted
on two separate occasions that perpetuated over a number of
years until his retirement. He further stated that the County
01-649 8/22/01
Attorney has acknowledged the detrimental impact the salary
practice had to affected employees and the Police Department
acknowledged that the policy was inappropriate and unfair,
changing it in 1994 retroactive to 1992. He stated that both
occasions in which Mr. Maddra's pay was negatively impacted
occurred before the corrective action was taken by the Police
Department. He further stated that, in late 1997, the Police
Department awarded a special salary adjustment to Mr. Maddra of
$3,869 to compensate for the accumulated deficiencies. He
stated that, after reviewing the County Attorney's response,
Mr. Maddra's claim is now being amended to $53,149 to provide
credit to the County for the corrective adjustment made in
1997. He stated that his review of Mr. Maddra's records
suggested that Mr. Maddra has not been compensated fairly, and
requested that the Board approve the claim.
Mr. Mikula stated that he feels, through documentation and Mr.
Thomas's evaluation, a discrepancy in pay has been demonstrated
which deserves the Board's attention, not only because of his
valuable public service, but also because it is the fair and
right thing to do from a compensation standpoint and a
fundamental fairness standpoint.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the Board's hearing of claims
involving County funds is a part of the process that needs to
be followed prior to a claimant filing suit, and indicated that
the County Attorney's office will handle the dispute in court.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Barber, for
the Board to deny the claim of retired police officer A. V.
"Buck" Maddra.
Ayes: Humphrey, Miller, Barber, McHale and Warren.
Nays: None.

district map to permit a stock farm (to allow the keeping of
horses) and horse training and riding facility in a Residential
(R-7) District. 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 1 to 5 acre lots. This request lies on 12
acres fronting approximately 430 feet on the east line of
Branders Bridge Road, approximately 500 feet north of Lakeview
Road, also fronting approximately 500 feet on the north line of
Lakeview Road approximately 700 feet east of Branders Bridge
Road. Tax ID 794-623-5456 (Sheet 41).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 01SN0256 and stated
that the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval
subject to conditions. He noted that the request conforms to
the Southern and Western Area Plan.
Mr. Frederick Yakelewicz, accompanied by Mrs. Marianne
Yakelewicz, stated that the recommendation is acceptable.
Mr· Nell Pearse, representing his Aunt Beverly Pearse, who owns
English Village Apartments adjacent to the subject property,
expressed concerns relative to locating a stock farm in a
residential district. He stated that the apartment complex has
been well maintained for many years and requested that the
Board consider the residents of the apartment complex before
making its decision.

is located in the City of Colonial Heights adjacent to the
boundary line for Chesterfield County. He again expressed
concerns relative to locating a stock farm in the vicinity of
single-family and multi-family homes.
Mr. Barber referenced a horse farm that located in a
residential neighborhood in Midlothian and indicated that it
was a welcome addition to the area.
Mr. Pearse stated that he feels a twelve-acre parcel is
inadequate for operating a stock farm and expressed concerns
relative to the possibility of other farm animals being
permitted on the property. He further stated that he feels the

odor from a stock farm would have a negative impact on the
residential community.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels the twelve-acre parcel is
sufficient for the six horse limit, and indicated that he has
received no complaints relative to odor from the horse farm in
Midlothian.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the conditions would limit
the applicant to six horses, with no other farm animals
permitted.
Mr. George Beadles suggested that providing a farm plan to the
James River Soil and Water Conservation District could be a
standard requirement for any stock farm in the County.
Mr. Yakelewicz stated that he has received no complaints in the
nine years he has lived on another piece of property where he
kept horses.
Ms. Beverly Pearse stated that she had driven by the
applicants' existing facility and did observe an odor when
passing the property.

TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMEND~mNT RELATING TO FAMILY
DAY CARE HOMES
Mr. Stith stated that this date and time has been advertised
for a public hearing to consider an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance relating to family day care homes.
Ms. Carolyn Pacer-Ramsey commended the Board and the Planning
Commission for taking an aggressive approach to the issue of
family day care homes. She requested that the Board adopt the
ordinance and take a stand for County families by providing the
option of quality environments for children.
01-659 8/22/01
Ms. Penny Condrey, representing Memorial Child Guidance Clinic,
stated that the organization supports the proposed ordinance
and feels it will encourage compliance and also provide for a
higher level of care by child care providers.
Mr. Bruce King expressed appreciation to the Board for taking
a pro-active approach to child day care.
There being no one else to speak to the ordinance, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to home day cares being
business uses in residential areas, but indicated that he will
support the proposed ordinance.
When asked, Ms. Beverly Rogers, Assistant Director of Planning
for Zoning and Special Projects, stated that the proposed
ordinance was generated because of concerns expressed by family
day care providers relative to the fee for a conditional use
request. She further stated that it was the consensus of the
day care providers that other providers would be more likely to
comply with requirements of the County Code if the fee were
reduced. She stated that the remainder of the proposed
ordinance is designed to bring the County's ordinance into
compliance with State law which limits the number of children
permitted in the home to a maximum of twelve, but also allows
a family day care provider who keeps less than five children to
have an employee who does not reside in the home.
Discussion ensued relative to regulation of adult day care
providers in the home.
When asked, Ms. Rogers stated that adult day care is not
regulated by the proposed ordinance.
Mr. Barber questioned whether adult day care providers must be
licensed similar to child day care providers. He stated that
the proposed fee structure might also be applicable for adult
day care providers. He questioned whether the State regulates
providers of adult day care in the home.
Ms. Rogers stated that she is unaware of how the State
regulates the use, but indicated that, under the County's
ordinance, adult day care providers would be required to apply
for a conditional use which has a higher fee than that proposed
for family day care. She further stated that she is not aware
of any providers who have applied for, and received, such a
permit.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels it would be wise to prepare an
ordinance for adult day care providers similar to the proposed
ordinance for home child care providers.
Ms. Rogers stated that a special zoning permit would not be
needed for either child care or adult day care if the facility
were located in certain commercial districts. She further
stated that the conditional use is required for residential
districts.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she feels the issue of an ordinance
regulating adult day care providers is much broader than the
application fee.
Mr. Barber requested that staff research the issue of State
licensing and regulation requirements for adult day care and
stated that the County could adopt an ordinance to reflect
State requirements at a fee structure similar to the one for
home child care providers.
01-660 8/22/01
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the State is currently concentrating
efforts on the issue of adult day care versus group homes.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for
the Board to adopt the following ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE
COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED BY
AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING SECTIONS 19-25, 19-65, 19-67,

interest under the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act if she
participates in this matter.
Mr. George Beadles questioned whether events held at Henricus
Park would require permits from both Chesterfield County and
Henrico County if the portion of Henricus that is located in
Henrico is used for the events.
Mr. Micas stated that the lease is for space in the Henricus
Visitors Center only and is unrelated to the land.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. McHale, the Board
approved the leasing of space in the Henricus Visitors Center
to the Virginia Audubon Council and authorized the Chairman of
the Board of Supervisors and County Administrator to execute
the lease agreement.
Ayes: Humphrey, Miller, Barber, McHale and Warren.
Nays: None.
Mrs. Humphrey requested a five minute recess.

18, REMAINING MOBILE HOME PERMITS AND ZONING REQUESTS
01SN0239
In Midlothian Magisterial District, ISLAMIC CENTER OF VIRGINIA
requested Conditional Use and amendment of zoning district map
to permit a private school and child care center in a
Residential (R-15) District. 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 1.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This request
lies on 3.3 acres and is known as 1241 Buford Road. Tax ID
757-712-4347 (Sheet 7).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 01SN0239 and stated
that the case was deferred from the July 25, 2001 meeting so
that a neighborhood meeting could be held. He further stated
that Mr. Barber held a neighborhood meeting to discuss the
issues surrounding the request as well as other issues wider
than the proposed request. He stated that the Planning
Commission and staff recommend approval subject to conditions
and acceptance of the proffered conditions.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to operation of the
school as a profitable business.
Mr. Malik Kahn, representing the applicant, stated that
although tuition is charged, the school's total expenses are
01-667 s/22/01
not met and donations must be solicited to support the school
operation.
No one came forward to speak to the case.
Mr. Barber stated that he held a community meeting at the
Islamic Center and the neighbors were allowed to view the
facility. He further stated that the neighbors had expressed
concerns relative to parking associated with the worship use.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) is working on the parking issue and will
be scheduling a meeting with adjacent property owners to
discuss the issue.
Mr. Barber stated that the applicant has offered to investigate
possibly using a shuttle service or having an additional
worship service in an effort to address parking concerns. He
further stated that the Islamic Center has a tentative plan to
address on-site parking with a goal of providing additional on-
site parking within nine months. He stated that the only
outstanding issue relates to receipt of right of way documents
from the Islamic Center to the County and indicated that
because of the large number of the members of the Islamic
Center's Board of Directors and the requirement that the entire
congregation be notified, the documents have not yet been
received.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that, if the request is
granted, Proffered Condition 1 requires that the documents be
submitted within thirty days or the applicant will be in
violation of the Conditional Use.
Mr. Barber stated that the parking issue along Buford Road is
being addressed by VDOT and indicated that Mr. Kahn has
represented in good faith that the Islamic Center will provide
the proper right of way documentation to the County within
thirty days.
Mr. Barber then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the
Board to approve Case 01SN0239 subject to the following
conditions:
Except where the requirements of the underlying
Residential (R-15) zoning are more restrictive, any new
development for school or child day care use shall conform
to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for commercial
uses in Emerging Growth Areas, excluding buffer
requirements. (P)
The following setback criteria shall apply to any outdoor
play fields, courts, swimming pools and similar active
recreational areas:
With the exception of playground areas which
accommodate swings, jungle gyms or similar such
facilities, all active play fields, courts or
similar active recreational facilities which could
accommodate organized sports such as football,
soccer, basketball, etc., shall be located a minimum
of 100 feet from adjacent property in R Districts.
Within this setback, existing vegetation shall be
supplemented, where necessary, with landscaping or
other devices designed to achieve the buffering
standards contained in Section 19-522(a) (2) of the
Zoning Ordinance.
01-668 8/22/01
If new outdoor play fields, courts, swimming pools
and similar active recreational areas are set back
more than 100 feet from adjacent property in R
Districts, the landscaping or other design features
described in Condition 2.a. may be modified by the
Planning Department at the time of site plan review.
Such modification shall accomplish a mitigation of
the visual and noise impacts that sports or related
activities have on adjacent properties equivalent to
the 100 foot setback/landscaping requirements
described in Condition 2.a.
C ·
Any playground areas shall be setback a minimum of
forty (40) feet from all property lines. (p)
Any child care center shall be conducted in association
with church or other places of worship use on the
property. (P)
And, further,
conditions:
the Board accepted the following proffered
Within 30 days from the date, the Board of Supervisors
approves this request, thirty-five (35) feet of right-of-
way on the east side of Buford Road, measured from the
centerline of that part of Buford Road immediately
adjacent to the property, shall be dedicated, free and
unrestricted, to and for the benefit of Chesterfield
County. (T)
o
Direct access from the property to Buford Road shall be
limited to the one (1) existing entrance/exit. Any
relocation of this access shall be approved by the
Transportation Department. (T)
(STAFF NOTE: These conditions and proffered conditions would
not apply to any permitted use, such as a church or mosque on
the property.)
Ayes: Humphrey, Miller, Barber, McHale and Warren.
Nays: None.
015N0165
In Bermuda Magisterial District, DEAN TED PATRICK requested
rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from Agricultural
(A) to Residential (R-12), plus relief to street access
requirements for more than fifty (50) lots. Residential use of
3.63 units per acre is permitted in a Residential (R-12)
District. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is
appropriate for residential use of 1.0 to 2.5 units per acre.
This request lies on 48.5 acres lying at the northern terminus
of Ironbridge Boulevard and also lying approximately 350 feet
south of the western terminus of Deep Forest Road. Tax ID 777-
658-3136 (Sheets 25 and 26).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 01SN0165 and stated
that the proposed development will yield approximately 1.9
dwelling units per acre which, in staff's opinion, is
consistent with the Central Area Plan. He further stated that
the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the
rezoning and acceptance of the proffered conditions. He stated
that the developer agreed in negotiations with residents of
Autumn Oaks not to extend a road from the development to
provide a second access to the subject property. He further
01-669 8/22/01
stated that the Planning Commission and staff recommended
denial of the request for relief to street access requirements
and indicated that the Planning Commission's vote on both the
rezoning and the street access requirements was split -- two
ayes, one nay, one abstention and one absent.
Mr. McHale stated that the applicant has proposed a 100 foot
boulevard style entrance from Ironbridge Boulevard and has also
agreed not to access the subject property through Autumn Oaks
at the request of area residents.
Discussion ensued relative to development of the Taylor tract
to the north of the subject property.
Mr. Jacobson stated that staff supports the applicant's
proffered condition to extend a stub road from the subject
property to the Taylor tract.
Mr. McHale stated that, if the Board were to grant relief from
the road access requirement and accept the boulevard entrance
proposal, there is a potential for a second access through the
Taylor tract when the property is developed.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the R-12 rezoning of the
Taylor tract did not include a requirement for access to the
applicant's property, but such a requirement would be addressed
through the subdivision process. He stated that only ten lots
on the Taylor property would be allowed access through Autumn
Oaks per existing conditions of zoning on the Taylor property.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to stub roads being made
to look like cul-de-sacs and property owners being unaware that
they reside on a stub road that may be extended rather than a
cul-de-sac.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the concern expressed by Mr. Barber is
a critical issue for Planning staff. He expressed concerns
relative to neighborhood connections that have been made in the
past, and indicated that the Planning Commission has requested
that Transportation, Planning, Fire and Police staff study the
issue in an effort to improve future neighborhood connections.
Discussion ensued relative to a means for providing an
understanding of the future use of stub roads for potential
residents.
Mr. Miller suggested that the applicant be required on the
subdivision plat to provide a notation that the stub road may
be extended to access adjacent property in the future.
Mr. Jacobson expressed concerns that such a requirement would
help, but that prospective property owners usually are not made
aware of restrictions or conditions of a subdivision plat until
after they have already signed a contract for purchase.
Mr. Barber stated that he feels developers should be required
to build stub roads up to, and perhaps even beyond, the
property line of adjoining property when the road is to be used
as a future connector.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Planning Commission recognizes the
issue and plans to address it.
Mr. Andy Scherzer, representing the applicant, stated that the
applicant has addressed neighbors' concerns by agreeing not to
connect to Autumn Oaks and to provide a stub road to provide
future relief to the requirement for a second access for more
than 50 lots. He further stated that the boulevard style
01-670 8/22/01
access should address safety concerns in the short term. He
stated that he feels the case has positive merit and requested
that the Board approve the request.
Discussion, questions and comments ensued relative to the
boulevard-style entrance and future connection of the stub
road.
Mr. McHale stated that the Board is being requested to approve
the proposed development as originally recommended by Mr. Phil
Cunningham, Bermuda District Planning Commissioner, with
conditions and proffered conditions agreed upon by Arbor
Landing and Autumn Oaks subdivisions to include granting the
exception to street access requirements by allowing the
boulevard access.
Mr. Barber requested that the stub road be constructed so that
potential residents will be aware that it will eventually
connect the adjoining parcel.
Mr. Scherzer stated that VDOT requires a temporary turnaround
at the terminus of the stub road.
When asked, Mr. Scherzer stated that the applicant would be
comfortable with providing a notation on the subdivision plats
that the stub road would be used as a connector in the future
and also erecting a sign at the end of the stub road indicating
that it is to be extended in the future.
Ms. Diana Parker expressed concerns relative to protection of
the environment and also the overcrowding of schools in the
area of the proposed development.
Mr. George Beadles stated that he does not feel the developer
should be allowed to construct more than fifty homes until such
time as the adjoining R-12 property is developed. He further
stated that he feels the Board should stop granting relief to
street access requirements when a development has more than
fifty lots.
Mr. Wayne Bell, a resident of Deep Forest Road, expressed
concerns relative to extension of Deep Forest Road to the
proposed development and presented a petition signed by over
one hundred residents of Autumn Oaks requesting that the case
be approved as requested by Mr. Scherzer.
Mr. Bill Kinsley, a resident of Autumn Oaks, expressed concerns
relative to safety issues at the intersection of Deep Forest
and Chalkley Roads and stated that extending Deep Forest Road
into the proposed development would increase the potential for
accidents at the intersection.
Mr. Doug Salvia, a resident of Autumn Oaks, expressed concerns
relative to increased traffic on Chalkley Road and stated that
the infrastructure is not available to support new development.
He further stated that the proposed development with the stub
road would address residents' concerns relative to additional
traffic on Chalkley Road. He requested that the Board limit
the number of homes in the proposed development to fifty until
such time as the adjoining R-12 property is developed.
Mr. Scherzer stated that the developer has agreed to pay the
full cash proffer to deal with its impact on area
infrastructure, and has made numerous compromises to address
citizens' and staff's concerns. He stated that the inability
to develop more than fifty lots could force the applicant to
reconsider the compromises. He requested that the Board
approve both the rezoning request and the request for relief to
street access requirements for more than fifty lots.
0 -s7 s/22/0
There being no one else to speak to the case, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. McHale stated that he feels Mr. Cunningham's proposal that
was offered following negotiations with the neighbors and the
applicant makes sense for a number of reasons: it is consistent
with the Central Area Plan; the proffered conditions have been
extensively negotiated with the neighbors; and significant
changes have been made since the original case was presented.
He further stated that he would normally be cautious about Mr.
Cunningham's recommendation for a boulevard access, but he
feels the stub road access to the Taylor tract will provide the
future second access. He stated that he agrees with Autumn
Oaks residents that connecting the proposed development to
Autumn Oaks would create traffic concerns on Chalkley Road.
Mr. McHale then made a motion for the Board to approve Case
01SN0165 as proposed by Mr. Cunningham which would allow the
boulevard access and grant relief to the street access
requirements for more than fifty lots.
Mr. Warren seconded the motion.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she feels Mr. Cunningham's proposal
represents a good compromise and indicated that she will
support Mr. McHale's motion. She stated that the current
zoning process is much better than it was fifteen years ago and
noted that the Board has the responsibility of balancing the
needs of the County, developers and neighbors when considering
requests for rezoning.
Mr. Barber stated that, although the Board occasionally
approves a different proposal than what is recommended by the
Planning staff and Planning Commission, the Board expects and
appreciates the Planning Commission and staff's recommendations
for rezoning based upon zoning ordinances and the Comprehensive
Plan. He expressed concerns relative to the issue of
connecting communities and the need for additional accesses,
but indicated that he will support Mr. McHale.
Mr. Miller stated that connecting communities and the
requirement for additional accesses has been one of the most
contentious issues in the County relative to development. He
expressed concerns relative to the safety issue of eliminating
the requirement for a secondary access for more than fifty
lots, but indicated that he will support Mr. McHale in his
position. He stated that he receives some comfort knowing that
there is potential for a future connection to the Taylor
property.
Mr. Warren stated that growth in the County has decreased by
fifty percent since the 1980's, and indicated that he feels the
proposal is a good example of planned managed growth. He noted
that Mrs. Humphrey's article on growth management in the August
edition of The Observer is excellent.
Mr. McHale stated that he did receive a petition from the
residents of Autumn Oaks, and commended the residents for their
efforts in negotiating with the applicant, staff and Mr.
Cunningham relative to the proposed development.
Mrs. Humphrey called for a vote on the motion of Mr. McHale,
seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to approve Case 01SN0165
and accept the following proffered conditions:
Except for timbering approved by the Virginia State
Department of Forestry for the purpose of removal of dead

district map from Corporate Office (0-2) to Agricultural (A)
with Conditional Use and Conditional Use Planned Development to
permit mini-storage/mini-warehouse use, outside storage of
boats, motor vehicles and recreational vehicles and exceptions
to Ordinance requirements. The density of such amendment will
be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
office use. This request lies on 1.9 acres fronting
approximately 550 feet on the south line of the Norfolk
Southern Railroad right of way, approximately 450 feet west of
Cranbeck Road. Tax ID 741-714-Part of 6684 (Sheet 2).
Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a summary of Case 01SN0255 and
stated that staff has recommended denial of the outside storage
uses and approval of self-storage facility uses. She further
stated that the mini-storage facility use complies with the
Northern Area Land Use and Transportation Plan which designates
the property for light industrial uses. She stated that the
outside storage uses would not be suggested as appropriate by
the Plan. She further stated that the Planning Commission
recommended approval of both requests indicating that the
proffered conditions relating to screening and other treatments
of the outside storage area address concerns of the Plan and
assure the transition intended by the light industrial
designation.
Mr. Jim Theobo!d, representing the applicant, stated that the
applicant has worked with Mr. Dan Gecker, Midlothian District
Planning Commissioner, Mr. Barber and residents of Cranbeck
Road. He further stated that there was no opposition at the
Planning Commission meeting and requested that the Board
approve the request as recommended by the Planning Commission.
