indicated an improvement and four (4.8 percent) indicated a
decline. She further stated 94.2 percent of the respondents
rated the county's overall quality of life as good or
excellent. She stated the customer service index indicated
improvement in all five areas from 2001 to 2004. She
reviewed the top five responses to the best things about
living in Chesterfield County and the biggest challenges
faced by the county. She stated the county scored above the
national norm in 25 out of the 39 comparative questions. She
further stated only two questions out of the 24 that were
duplicated from the 2001 survey indicated a decline of five
percent or more. She stated staff will take steps to
communicate this information to citizens and employees and
will work to improve the county's performance.
When asked, Ms. Rohr stated demographic information

6. WORK SESSION
o PROPOSED FY2006-2011 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PRO~RAM
Mr. Jay Payne, Budget Manager, presented a 2004 bond
referendum update. He reviewed approval ratings in each of
the categories and projects to be financed with bonds
authorized through the 2004 bond referendum. He then
presented an overview of the proposed FY2006-2011 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). He reviewed a comparison of debt
ratio and debt service expenditures and the composition of
the proposed CIP, totaling $674,064,200. He reviewed
05-&5
01/26/05
proposed CIP county only revenue and expenditure summaries
and highlighted revisions proposed in the FY2006-2011 CIP.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns relative to $1.6 million
being proposed to purchase right of way for the Powhite
Parkway Extension through Magnolia Green.
Mr. McCracken stated zoning conditions approved with the
Magnolia Green development required the developer to dedicate
120 feet of right of way and reserve an additional 80 feet
for an interchange at a fixed price, indicating that the
county was given 15 years to exercise its option to acquire
the additional right of way. He further stated staff has not
met with the developer to see if he would be willing to
extend the time period for the county to exercise its option.
Mrs. Humphrey suggested that staff meet with the developer to
discuss an extension of the option prior to tying up $1.6
million in road funds.
Mr. Stith stated staff will contact the developer to discuss
not only the extension, but also whether the developer is
willing to donate an additional portion of the 80 feet set
aside for the county to purchase.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. McCracken stated he
believes the zoning condition specified a sales price range
of approximately $14,000 to $20,000 per acre.
Mr. Warren inquired about the timing of completion of the
Route 360 widening project.
Mr. McCracken expressed frustrations with the Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) regarding the Route 360
widening project. He stated the project began in 1999 under
contract with the state, and the county has had to break it
up into phases. He further stated the county had hoped to
complete at least the westbound widening this year. He
stated VDOT wants the county to wait until the utilities are
relocated before advertising the project, indicating that
this will delay completion of the project. He further stated
developers have already provided an additional westbound lane
on Route 360 and staff has been trying since October 2004 to
get VDOT to re-stripe the lane so that it can be used. He
stated the Board appropriated funds in November 2004 for gaps
to be filled in on the eastbound lane so that a third
eastbound lane could begin functioning while awaiting
construction of the larger project. He further stated the
eastbound lane should be complete within a few weeks, but
once again the county will have to wait for VDOT to re-stripe
the lane and provide minor signal adjustments. He stated
staff will meet with consultants on January 28th to move
forward on the bond referendum project, indicating that the
county approached the state in October 2004 regarding
reimbursement for funds being used for road projects, but has
had no success to date. He further stated he estimates that
the county's eastbound project will be completed by 2006, but
he cannot provide details regarding completion of the state
project that begun in 1999.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns
reimbursement from VDOT.
regarding the issue of
05-46
01/26/05
Mr. McCracken noted the county's legislative delegation has
introduced a bill to assist the county with reimbursement for
road improvements. He stated, in the past, VDOT has honored
its reimbursement commitments for road projects and expressed
concerns that this is no longer happening.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns that Chesterfield is not
being treated fairly by VDOT and requested that Mr. Ramsey
and Mr. McCracken set up a meeting with the county's
legislative delegation while the General Assembly is in
session to bring this information to their attention.
Mr. Barber requested that a comprehensive list be prepared
highlighting the county's frustrations with VDOT not
cooperating with local government.

IN CONNECTION WITH THE AUTHORIZATION, ISSUANCE, SALE AND

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY OF CHESTERFIELD, VIRGINIA:
SECTION 1. Findings and Determinations. The Board
of Supervisors (the ~Board of Supervisors") of the County of
Chesterfield, Virginia (the ~County"), hereby finds and
determines as follows:
(a) Commencing in 1997, the Industrial Development
Authority of the County of Chesterfield (the "IDA"), at the
request of the County, has entered into various agreements
with property owners pursuant to which the IDA has been granted
options to purchase undeveloped real property for the proposed
Meadowville Technology Park ("Meadowville Technology Park" or the
"Park"), which is located in the Bermuda Magisterial District
adjacent to the James River in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
(b) It is contemplated that the proposed Park
would be developed as an industrial and office park, with an
emphasis on clean, high-tech industries and that parcels of
real property would be sold or dedicated to businesses over
time to construct offices, manufacturing/ assembly plants,
logistical support and related technology facilities within
the Park. Portions of the area encompassing the Park would be
preserved as wetlands or used to build a system of streets and
roads and other infrastructure improvements within the Park,
including an interchange with Interstate 1-295.
(c) The first such agreement was a Development
Agreement, dated December 12, 1997 (the "Meadowville
Development Agreement" or the "Development Agreement"), by
and between with the IDA and Meadowville L.L.C., covering
approximately 1,000 acres of unencumbered land.
(d) Pursuant to the exercise of options granted
under the Meadowville Development Agreement, to date, the IDA
has acquired approximately 142 acres of real property within
the area to be encompassed by the proposed Park.
(e) In addition to the options granted to it under
the Meadowville Development Agreement, the IDA has entered
into option agreements with H.Gordon Peters granting the IDA
the option to purchase approximately 33 acres of real property,
with George P. Emerson, Jr. et al. granting the IDA the option
to purchase approximately 145.5 acres of real property and with
James Associates granting the IDA the option to purchase
approximately 48 acres of real property.
(f) The option agreements grant the IDA the option
to purchase real property from time to time contingent upon
sufficient funding levels being available.
05-49
01/26/05
(g) The County has in the past adopted budgets with
sufficient funding to satisfy terms of the option agreements.
The IDA has from time to time exercised the right to acquire
property through the options and now owns approximately 158 of
approximately 1,227 acres associated with the options.
(h) The County recently evaluated its position in
respect to the option agreements and has found it would be
beneficial to the County for the IDA to acquire the remaining
approximately 1,069 acres within the area encompassing the
proposed Park from the respective property owners at the present
time rather than continuing to purchase real property pursuant to
the terms of the existing option agreements from time to time.
(i) In addition, the County has determined that, by
renegotiating the existing Meadowville Development Agreement
and the other existing option agreements, such remaining 1,069
acres can be purchased now for an aggregate purchase price of
substantially less than the option prices currently provided
for in the existing Meadowville Development Agreement and the
other existing option agreements.
(j) The early purchase by the IDA provides the IDA
complete control of the property in the Park.
(k) Furthermore the County finds it beneficial for
the IDA to acquire the approximately 100 acre Coons parcel, to be
included in the Park.
(1) The County Administrator finds it beneficial
for the IDA to include certain improvements with the
financing for the acquisition of real property.
(m) The County can provide financial support to
the IDA for the financing for the acquisition of real
property and certain infrastructure improvements in an amount
approximately equal to or less than that necessary to
maintain the existing option agreements.
(n) In order to finance the acquisition of the
remaining acres of real property within the area encompassing
the proposed Meadowville Technology Park and the
approximately 100 acre Coons parcel, including the areas to
be preserved as wetlands and used to build a system of
streets and roads and other infrastructure improvements
within the Park, and to finance certain infrastructure
improvements, it is contemplated that the IDA would issue its
revenue bonds (the "IDA Revenue Bonds") in a principal amount
of not to exceed $20 million, including costs of issuance of
the financing, and that, as security for the payment of the
debt service on the IDA Revenue Bonds, the County would agree
to make payments on behalf of the IDA on a periodic basis in
accordance with the provisions of an amended and restated
Development Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Development
Agreement") in an amount equal to the debt service on the IDA
Revenue Bonds, together with related initial and ongoing
commitment and other fees and expenses and other amounts
payable to the provider of any related standby bond purchase
agreement or other liquidity facility (the "liquidity
facility"), to the trustee for the IDA Revenue Bonds and to
the remarketing agent for the IDA Revenue Bonds and together
with the costs of the premiums for any insurance required by
the provisions of the Amended and Restated Development
05-50
01/26/05
Agreement, the agreement of the County with respect to such
payments to be more fully provided for in the trust indenture
or agreement and related documents providing for the issuance
and security for the IDA Revenue Bonds, such payments by the
County to be subject to annual appropriation by the Board of
Supervisors.
(o) The payment obligations of the County under
the Amended and Restated Development Agreement would be
structured such that the County's annual payments would be
approximately equal to, or less than, the amounts the IDA, on
behalf of the County, is currently obligated to pay under the
existing Meadowville Development Agreement and the other
existing option agreements.
(p) By adoption of this resolution, the Board of
Supervisors has determined to approve the amendment and
restatement of the Meadowville Development Agreement, the
amendment of the other existing option agreements and the
support agreement for the IDA acquisition agreement for real
property for the Coons parcel, to authorize the County
Administrator to prepare disclosure documents for use by the
IDA in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale and
delivery of the IDA Revenue Bonds, to authorize the County
Administrator to execute and deliver the Amended and Restated
Development Agreement and the support agreement for the IDA
acquisition of real property for the Coons parcel and all
other documents as shall be necessary or appropriate to
consummate the acquisition of the remaining approximately
1,069 acres of real property for the proposed Meadowville
Technology Park and to finance such acquisition, including
the areas to be preserved as wetlands and used to build a
system of streets and roads and other infrastructure
improvements, and to finance certain infrastructure
improvements and appropriate up to $150,000 from the
Industrial Park Reserve for a portion of the associated real
estate closing costs (including, without limitation, boundary
surveys and legal descriptions, recordation fees, title
insurance and environmental assessments).
SECTION 2. Approval of Amendment and
Restatement of Meadowville Development Agreement;
Authorization of Execution and Delivery of Amended and
Restated Meadowville Development Agreement. The Board of
Supervisors hereby approves the amendment and restatement of
the Meadowville Development Agreement in its entirety (as

Agreement"), among other things, (a) to provide that the
parties to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement
shall be the County and the IDA, (b) to provide for the

property within the area encompassing the proposed
Meadowville Technology Park and the approximately 100 acre
Coons parcel, including the areas to be preserved as wetlands
and used to build a system of streets and roads and other
infrastructure improvements within the Park, and certain
infrastructure improvements, it being contemplated that the
IDA would issue the IDA Revenue Bonds (as hereinbefore
defined) in a principal amount of not to exceed $20 million,
including costs of issuance of the financing, and (c) to
provide that, as security for the payment of the debt service
on the IDA Revenue Bonds, the County would agree to make
payments on behalf of the IDA on a periodic basis in
05-5~
01/26/05
accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Development Agreement in an amount equal to the debt service
on the IDA Revenue Bonds, together with related initial and
ongoing commitment and other fees and expenses and other
amounts payable to the provider of any related liquidity
facility (as hereinbefore defined), to the trustee for the
IDA Revenue Bonds and to the remarketing agent for the IDA
Revenue Bonds and together with the costs of the premiums for
any insurance required by the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Development Agreement, the agreement of the County

the trust indenture or agreement and related documents
providing for the issuance and security for the IDA Revenue
Bonds, such payments by the County to be subject to annual
appropriation by the Board of Supervisors; provided, however,

interest payable on the IDA Revenue Bonds or with respect to

shall not be greater than three percent (3.00%). The County

ambulances in service; and
WHEREAS, on May 20, 1963, the squad moved from the

WHEREAS, continued growth in northern Chesterfield
County prompted an additional building which was located on
Grove Road and dedicated as Station 2 in June of 1981; and

third station was identified, and a new station was built and
dedicated on December 15, 1991 at 8008 Midlothian Turnpike

begins their 50tn year of service, the squad has grown to a

0 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Mr. Barber requested that Ms. Curtin come forward to provide
an update on General Assembly activities.
Ms. Curtin stated a budget amendment has been proposed
relative to funding of the car tax relief program, and the
fate of this amendment will be known on February 6th. She
further stated two bills have been introduced that could
impact the county's cash proffer authority - one that would
not allow localities to seek or accept payment of any cash
proffer prior to the issuance of a building permit; and
another that would require that cash proffers not spent
05-61
01/26/05
within five years to be turned over to the State Literary
Fund. She stated both of those bills will be heard next week
in sub-committee and probably by the end of the week in full
committee. She further stated a number of bills introduced
relative to the group home issue by both Senator Martin and
Delegate Nixon should be heard in committee early next week.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Ms. Curtin stated we
are getting a lot of support from other jurisdictions for the
bills that have been introduced relative to group homes.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to the necessity to
spend cash proffers within five years, indicating that it
would be impossible to accumulate enough cash proffers in
five years to have an impact on a major project. He
requested that Ms. Curtin communicate to the county's
legislative delegation that protection of cash proffer
authority is our top priority.

In Bermuda Magisterial District, FARRISH PROPERTIES, LLC
requests rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from
Agricultural (A) to Light Industrial (I-l) with Conditional
Use to permit Community Business (C-3) uses. The density of
such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or
Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the
property is appropriate for light industrial use. This
request lies on 4.1 acres fronting approximately 345 feet on
the north line of Old Lane, also fronting approximately 215
feet on the west line of Chester Road and located in the
northwest quadrant of the intersection of these roads. Tax
IDs 786-665-9988 and 787-665-0867 (Sheets 18 and 26).
Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a summary of Case 05SN0103 and
stated staff recommends approval of I-1 zoning but denial of
the request for a Conditional Use to permit Community
Business (C-3) uses. She noted the I-1 zoning complies with
the Jefferson Davis Corridor Plan, but the commercial uses do
not comply with the Plan and would generate higher traffic
volumes in an area of intersections, which have a high
traffic accident count. She stated the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the rezoning and Conditional Use,
indicating that the I-1 zoning complies with the Plan and
that the proffered conditions restrict commercial uses so
05-70
01/26/05
that the traffic impact should be minimal compared to the
uses that could be located in an I-1 District.
Mr. Dean Hawkins, representing the applicant, stated the
subject property is surrounded on at least two sides by
existing C-3 uses and the applicant has proffered conditions
to restrict the more intensive C-3 uses to address
Transportation staff's concerns. He further stated the
entrance to serve the subject property will eventually
eliminate the service road along Chester Road, making the
area better than it currently is.
Mr. Barber called for public comment.
Mr. Bill Young, a resident of Old Lane, expressed concerns
relative to additional traffic on Old Lane, indicating that
excessive car or truck traffic would devastate 01d Lane and
create safety issues.
There being no one else to speak to the request, the public
hearing was closed.
In response to Mr. King's questions, Mr. Hawkins stated
Proffered Condition 7 limits use of 2,000 of the 8,000 gross
square feet, and he believes the remainder of the property
will be developed as light industrial office-warehouse uses,
which will have a much lower density than 8,000 square feet
of potential C-3 uses. He further stated Proffered Condition
1 prohibits restaurants with drive-thru service windows and
nursery school uses, to alleviate high peak traffic in the
area. He stated, once the entrance road to the site is
available and the service road is no longer needed, the
traffic situation in the area will be much better.
Discussion ensued relative to the property owners' loss of
accessibility to their property as a result of the Route 288
construction.
In response to Mrs. Humphrey's question, Mr. Hawkins stated
the entrance road will be located directly opposite the
entrance to the current day care center and will serve all
properties in the entire quadrant, eliminating the need for a
service road.
Mr. King stated, although the proposal does not represent an
ideal situation, he believes it will be an improvement to the
current situation.
Mr. King then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Miller, for the
Board to approve Case 05SN0103 and accept the following
proffered conditions:

requests rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from
05-72
01/26/05
Agricultural (A) to Community Business (C-3) with Conditional
Use to permit motor vehicle sales and rental. The density of
such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or
Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the
property is appropriate for mixed use corridor use. This
request lies on 3.0 acres fronting approximately 300 feet on
the south line of Hull Street Road approximately 630 feet
east of Chital Drive. Tax IDs 727-672-2233, 3038 and 3943
(Sheet 15).
Ms. Rogers presented a summary of Case 05SN0126 and stated
the applicant submitted an additional proffer today that
provides for additional landscaping. She further stated it
would be necessary for the Board to suspend its rules to
allow for consideration of the new proffered condition. She
further stated staff recommends denial because the proposed
motor vehicle sales use does not conform to the Upper Swift
Creek Plan and is not compatible with the adjacent single-
family residential development uses located to the south.
She stated the Planning Commission recommended approval and
acceptance of the proffered conditions, indicating that the
proposed zoning and land uses are consistent with area
development trends.
Discussion ensued relative to businesses
vicinity of the request property.
located in the
Mr. William Shewmake, representing the applicant, stated the
proposed development would be restricted to a high-end used
car sales and repair service, which he believes the area is
in need of, indicating that no other use could be
substituted. He noted that no opposition has been expressed
by the residents of Deer Run. He stated the applicant is
willing to place a three-to-four foot hedgerow along the
western boundary in response to concerns expressed by Dr.
Traywick. He further stated he believes the proposal
represents excellent economic development for the area, and
the applicant is working with the neighbors to make the view
as pleasant as possible.
Mr. Barber called for public comment.
Dr. Don Traywick, whose dental office is located next to the
subject property, stated the hedgerow is a gracious offer,
but he would prefer a six-foot landscape berm to protect the
view of his patients overlooking the proposed car lot.
Ms. Susan Reed-Carr, a dental hygienist who works for Dr.
Traywick, stated she believes the patients' privacy is an
issue because of the large windows in the dental office that
overlook the request property. She further stated the area
outside of the windows has many birdfeeders and is somewhat
of a bird sanctuary. She stated a berm in the area of the
windows would protect the patient's view.
Ms. Marleen Durfee, representing the Task Force for
Responsible Growth, expressed concerns relative to locating a
used car business in this vicinity of Hull Street Road and
requested that the Board consider whether this is the best
location for this type of use. She stated, although the
county needs increased commercial development, the Board
should not be too impulsive when making decisions regarding
the placement of new businesses.
05-73
01/26/05
There being no one else to speak to the request, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Shewmake stated the applicant would have to strip all the
natural vegetation to create the berm requested by Dr.
Traywick, indicating that he believes the three-to-four foot
hedgerow offered by the applicant would address Dr.
Traywick's concerns.
Mr. Miller inquired whether anything could be done to
supplement the hedgerow.
Mr. Shewmake stated the hedgerow is in addition to extensive
perimeter landscaping that is required for further buffering.
In response to Mr. Miller's questions, Mr. Greg Allen,
Planning Administrator, stated the applicant will be required
to provide perimeter landscaping of a combination of large
maturing shade trees, small maturing trees, ornamental trees,
a certain variety of evergreen trees, in addition to the
proffered hedgerow. He further stated the landscaping would
not be of a density that would create a screen, and the
existing trees would count towards the perimeter landscaping
requirements.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Allen stated staff
prefers not to specify landscaping materials, but that
evergreen material in a hedgerow form be at least seven to
eight feet tall.
Mr. Shewmake stated the hedgerow will be one continuous
block, which he believes will sufficiently shield the
automobiles. He further stated he believes the proposal
represents a high caliber development, which will provide an
economic engine for the area and generate a lot less traffic
than basic retail, restaurant or office uses. He requested
that the Board approve the case.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Shewmake stated the
proposed development will not have a visual impact on the
residential area directly behind the subject property.
Mrs. Humphrey made a motion, seconded by Mr. Barber, for the
Board to suspend its rules at this time to allow for
consideration of the additional proffered condition.
Ayes: Barber, King, Humphrey, Miller and Warren.

abandoned house on the subject property. She stated she
believes the additional hedgerow will help preserve the bird
sanctuary on Dr. Traywick's property.

the Board to approve Case 05SN0126 and accept the following

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS
16.A. TO CONSIDER AMENDING SECTIONS 17-2, 17-46, 19-181
AND 19-185 OF THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF
CHESTERFIELD, 1997, AS AMENDED RELATING TO FAMILY
DIVISIONS AND VEHICLE STORAGE YARDS
Mr. David Hainley, Planning Administrator, stated this date
and time has been advertised for a public hearing for the
Board to consider amendments to the County Code relating to
family divisions and vehicle storage yards. He further
stated the amendments relating to family divisions will
clarify the term "circumvention" in the subdivision
ordinance. He stated approximately 40 percent of the plats
that have been created under family divisions were
questionable as to the intent of the division of the
property. He further stated staff is recommending a two-tier
05-77
01/26/05
time frame, including a requirement to own property for two
years before division to immediate family members for land
acquired after January 1, 2005; and a requirement for the
second family member to own the property for five years
before transfer to a non-family member. He stated there are
provisions for property owners to receive relief from these
requirements so that they could dispose of their property
upon need. He noted Henrico County is the only locality in
the vicinity that does not require a holding period following
a family division, but is looking into doing so. He stated
the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the
proposed amendments.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns relative to Planning staff
being able to identify and grant relief from the holding
period requirement under special circumstances.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Hainley stated
Section 17-2(a) (ii) of the ordinance identifies cases of
severe hardship for which relief can be granted. He further
stated property owners could appeal the Planning Director's
decision regarding hardship cases to the Board of Zoning
Appeals. He then introduced Mr. Greg Allen to provide
details of the amendment relative to outside storage.
Mr. Allen stated the companion ordinance amendment provides
for outside storage of vehicles in suitable locations for
citizens and business people. He noted there are not enough
suitable storage locations in the county. He stated, since
drafting the ordinance amendment, staff believes Section 19-
181(h) (5) is superfluous and not necessary to provide
screening standards for outside vehicle storage and is
recommending that subparagraph (5) be deleted if the Board
adopts the ordinance amendments.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Allen stated the
outside storage uses would only be permitted in I-1
Districts.
Mr. Barber called for public comment.
Mr. Gordon Bowers, an owner of mini-storage projects, stated
he has no problem with the screening standards, but does not
believe subparagraph (5) is necessary because other sections
of the proposed ordinance provide for more than adequate
screening of vehicles and the height of a vehicle should not
be a concern.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Allen stated the
Planning Commission adopted the ordinance, indicating that
the issue with subparagraph (5) could be addressed at a later
time. He further stated the Planning Commission gave no
indication that they would oppose the deletion of the
subparagraph (5).
Mr. David Phillips stated he opposes the idea of restricting
family landowners from the sale of their property, and he
opposes the proposed ordinance amendments.
There being no one else to speak to the ordinance amendments,
the public hearing was closed.

Mrs. Humphrey stated she understands that the proposal will
address the abuse of family divisions in the subdivision
ordinance. She expressed concerns relative to limiting the
rights of property owners, but stated the ordinance does
provide for relief in hardship cases.
Mr. Miller also expressed concerns relative to imposing
additional restrictions on landowners. He stated the
proposed ordinance amendment is balancing the rights of
citizens against clear abuses of the family division in the
past. He further stated he will support the ordinance
amendments since the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended it, but indicated that he is bothered by
restricting property owners' rights.
Mr. Warren made a motion, seconded by Mr. Miller, for the
Board to adopt the ordinance amendments relating to family
divisions and vehicle storage yards with the deletion of
subparagraph (5) related to the height of vehicles being
stored outside.
Mr. Barber called for a vote on the motion of Mr. Warren,
seconded by Mr. Miller, for the Board to adopt the following
ordinance:
