He stated that, on September 15, 1999, the final totals will be announced in the Partners for Progress Campaign. He reviewed new facilities planned for construction and currently under construction at VCU. He requested the Board's consideration of a resolution supporting VCU/MCV's top legislative priority for the General Assembly's 2000 session -- full funding for indigent care at MCV Hospitals. He stated that MCV Hospitals provides $100 million per year in indigent care, which represents one-third of the indigent care in the State, and that MCV receives less than $70 million in compensation. He further stated that, due to changes in managed care, cost shifting of the shortfall is no longer possible. He reviewed efforts that have been made during the 1990's towards the operation of the clinical-care mission and the measures that have been taken due to the challenges presented. He stated that the American Association of Medical Colleges is predicting that over one-third of all academic health centers will be operating in the red by the year 2002. He further stated that MCV needs full commitment by the State of the $100 million in indigent care costs and noted that $6.1 million in indigent care costs goes to County residents who receive free medical care by MCV physicians and hospitals. He stated that the recipients of indigent care consist mainly of people who work in jobs that do not provide health benefits and do not qualify for Medicaid. He referenced the thirty-six living donor liver transplantations that have taken place at MCV Hospitals and stated that they will not continue to happen at MCV if the State does not step up to the commitment they made thirty years ago for funding indigent care at the academic medical centers at the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University. He further stated that, without full funding of indigent care, MCV Hospitals will be in serious trouble in the delivery of health care and training of people in health professions. Mr. Daniel expressed appreciation to Dr. Trani for his informative presentation and stated that he would support the resolution. He further stated that he feels the Board will do its part to bring this issue to the forefront of its legislative agenda. 9/8/99 99-758 Mr. Barber stated that he feels VCU has become an outstanding institution under the leadership of Dr. Trani. He further stated that he would support the resolution requesting full funding of indigent care. 14. RESOLUTIONS AND SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS 14 .A. RECOGNIZING THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF J. G.

REMAINING MOBILE HOME PERMITS AND ZONING REQUESTS 99SN0274 In Clover Hill Magisterial District, HOLIDAY SIGNS, INC. requested Conditional Use and amendment of zoning district map to permit a computer-controlled, variable message, electronic sign. The density of such amendment will be controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use. This request lies in a General Business (C-5) District on .6 acre known as 7607 Midlothian Turnpike. Tax ID 762-706-0354 (Sheet 7). Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a summary of Case 99SN0274 and stated that the existing sign is non-conforming due to the current ordinance limiting the sign to an area of 62.5 square feet to include a reader board. She further stated that the applicant is proposing to remove an existing manual reader board located on the property and replace it with a computer controlled reader board. She stated that a policy was adopted by the Board relative to guidelines for evaluation of the appropriate location for electronic message signs. She further stated that staff recommends approval of the request due to the proposal conforming to the Board's policy. She stated that Planning Commission also has a policy on electronic message signs and that the request does not conform to the Commission's policy, which differs from the Board's policy. She further stated that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the request due to nonconformance with their policy as well as, in their opinion, nonconformance with the County's desire to bring existing signs into conformance with the existing sign ordinance. She stated that there was some indication by several members of the Planning Commission that, if the request had included a proposal to bring the sign into closer conformance with today's zoning ordinance relative to sign and height, they may have been more receptive for an electronic message board at the proposed location. Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to the Commission and the Board of Supervisors having policies relative to electronic message signs. Planning differing There was brief discussion relative to the Board's electronic message sign policy being the County's ultimate policy. Mr. Jacobson stated that staff brought back to the Planning Commission the Board's decision relative to electronic message signs and that the Planning Commission chose to use their own policy in their recommendations to the Board. He further stated that staff bases their recommendations on the Board's policy. Mr. Barber stated that the Board refers to the Planning Commission and staff recommendations when making decisions on zoning requests and expressed concerns relative to how an applicant can understand what standards apply when there are conflicting policies. 99-778 9/8/99 There was brief discussion relative to the Planning Commission having a more restrictive policy than the Board. Mr. Daniel stated that the message is clear that there should be only one policy as to how a process is carried out. When asked, Ms. Rogers stated that the request meets the Board's policy relative to electronic message signs. Mr. Daniel stated that he cannot support the request as proposed and stressed the importance of a resolution of the differing policies as soon as possible. Mr. Alan Thweatt, representing the applicant, stated that the existing sign has been in place for approximately twenty-five years. He further stated that he would like to see one County policy relative to electronic message boards. He stated that the request is to reface a legal, nonconforming sign and exercise what is available within the County's ordinance. He requested the Board's support of staff's recommendation. Ms. Karen Allen, owner of Southern Gun World, requested the Board's support of the proposed request. Mr. John Easter stated that he was a representative on the Planning Commission when the issue of an electronic message sign policy was discussed. He further stated that, before the issue was brought to the Board, there was a substantial difference in opinion among the Planning Commissioners as to a policy for handling the message signs and stated that the Planning Commission's recommendation was actually a compromise position. He stated that, after the Board adopted its policy, there was disagreement among Planning Commission members relative to the policy and that, as a member of the Planning Commission, he suggested that there be one policy, but the majority of the Planning Commission decided to maintain a separate policy. There being no one else to speak to the Case, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to policy decisions that need to be reviewed. He stated that he feels the sign is nonconforming and the size would not comply with current sign sizing requirements. Mr. Warren then made a motion to remand Case 99SN0274 to the Planning Commission for further review of the policies that currently exist. Mr. Daniel clarified the motion made by Mr. Warren for Case 99SN0274 to be remanded to the Planning Commission for review of the current policies as they relate to the proposed request. 99-779 9/8/99 There was brief discussion relative to the Planning Commission being open to any discussion relative to the policy and to making a recommendation to the Board. Mr. Warren suggested that each Board member speak with the Planning Commissioner from their district in an effort to understand the intent of their recommendation. Mr. Daniel stated that the Planning Commission will have to recommend a policy prior to reviewing the proposed request. Mr. Daniel seconded the motion. Mr. McHale stated that he feels any inconsistency in policies needs to be corrected and that he will support Mr. Warren's motion. He further stated that, once the Board has considered policy recommendations by the Planning Commission, and then adopted their own policy, he feels it should be considered the County policy. Mrs. Humphrey stated that she concurs with Mr. McHale's comments and expressed concerns relative to the difference in policies. She further stated that she supports Mr. Warren's motion. Mr. Barber referenced another message board on Midlothian Turnpike and stated that each case is different. He further stated that he will support Mr. Warren's motion. Mr. Daniel stated that ordinances are not to be deviated from and policies are simply guidelines for making recommendations. He further stated that, if the Planning Commission deviated from ~the Board policy" in making their recommendation, they are still operating within their legal framework. He stated that he feels the Planning Commission, in their judgment, presented the Board with the best possible recommendation and the Board has now requested that the Commission review the request again. He further stated that, should the Commission make the same recommendation, he would like to see some of the rationale for the decision. Mr. Daniel then called for a vote on the motion made by Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Daniel, for the Board to remand Case 99SN0274 to the Planning Commission for review of the current policies as they relate to the proposed request. Ayes: Daniel, Warren, Barber, Humphrey, and McHale. Nays: None. Mr. Daniel requested that Case 99SN0274 be advertised as soon as possible in an effort to bring it to the Planning Commission in a timely manner. Before closing, Mr. Hammer stated that Mr. Stegmaier has recently celebrated his twentieth anniversary of service to the County. 99-780 9/8/99 Mr. Stegmaier stated that the twenty years with Chesterfield County have been a great experience and that he is honored to be a part of the local government which is the cutting edge local government in the Country. He expressed appreciation for the Board's decision eight years ago to move into quality management in the County. 18.
