2 . COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR' S COMMENTS
O
Mr. Ramsey introduced Mr. Glade Knight, President of the
Chesterfield Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and President of Richmond-based
Cornerstone Realty to make a presentation to the Board.
Mr. Knight, accompanied by Ms. Beth Graviet, presented
each Board member with a letter of appreciation for their
efforts towards the FOXX Video issue and a framed
proclamation in honor of "Family Week."
Mr. Daniel expressed appreciation to Mr. Knight for the
recognition and suggested that the proclamation be entered
into the public record.
On motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by Mr. McHale, the Board
entered the following proclamation into the record:
THE FAMILY
A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD
THE FIRST PRESIDENCY AND COUNCIL OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
WE, THE FIRST PRESIDENCY and the Council of the Twelve
Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is
ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's
plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
ALL HUMAN BEINGS -- male and female -- are created in the image
of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly
parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.
Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal,
mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
99-862
IN THE PREHORTAL REALM, spirit sons and daughters knew and
worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by
which His children coulo obtain a physical body and gain
earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately
realize his or her divine destiny as an heir of eternal life.
The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be
perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants
available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to
return to the presence of God and for families to be united
eternally.
THE FIRST COMMANDMENT that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained
to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We
declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and
replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that
God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to
be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as
husband and wife.
WE DECLARE the means by which mortal life is created to be
divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its
importance in God's eternal plan.
HUSBAND AND WIFE have a solemn responsibility to love and care
for each other and for their chzldren. "Children are an
heritage of the Lord" (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred
duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to
provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to %each them
to love and serve one anot~:er, to observe the commandments of
God and to be law-abiding cltizens wherever they live.
Husbands and wives -- mot. hers and fathers -- will be held
accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
THE FAMILY is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman
is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to
birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a
father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete
fidelity. Happiness in ~amily life is most likely to be
achieved when founded upon the teachings ef the Lord Jesus
Christ. Successful marriageS~"and families are established and
maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance,
forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and. wholesome
recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to
preside over their families in love and righteousness and are
responsible te provide the necessities ef life and protection
for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the
nurture ef their children. In these sacred responsibilities,
father and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal
partners. Disability, death, or ether circumstances may
necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should
lend support when needed.
WE WARN that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who
abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family
responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God.
Further, we warn that the disintegranion of the family will
bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities
foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
WE CALL UPON responsible citizens and officers of government
everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and
strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.
Ayes: Daniel, Warren, Barber, Humphrey, and McHale.
Nays: None.

Mr. Ramsey welcomed the members of the legislative delegation.
He presented an overview of the State of the County including
accomplishments in the County's quality efforts; financial
strengths; and the 250th Anniversary Celebration. He reviewed
population trends and stated that priorities of County services
will change in 2020 when the over 65 population is projected to
double. He then reviewed average daily membership in the
County's school system and noted that the County has the lowest
total cost per pupil. He reviewed growth in building permits
and stated that the increase in the number of multi-family
building permits could have an impact on service delivery. He
then reviewed the use of new State funds including continuation
of police officers funded by expiring federal grants and
construction/renovation of schools.
There was brief discussion relative to the school construction/
renovation projects funded by new State funds.
Dr. Bosher explained how the lottery profits funding for
schools was used.
Mr. Ramsey stated that additional State funding significantly
helped the County address issues in the last budget cycle. He
then continued to present an update of issues including
distribution of use tax revenues.
There was brief discussion relative to possible, solutions for
more equitable distribution of use tax revenues.
Mr. Ramsey reviewed current issues relative to the State fiscal
stress index and stated that the current formula penalizes
efficient localities.
99-883
Ms. Curtin highlighted ongoing State budget issues including
funding for education, transportation and changes to the
operating and capital reimbursement formulas for the Juvenile
Detention Home; the E9-1-1 user fee revenues; and concerns with
the State and Local Tax Structure Commission.
There was brief discussion relative to taxation of mail order
and internet sales and to the importance of the elimination of
tolls on Powhite Parkway as a transportation funding issue.
Mr. Ramsey then introduced Michael Allen, Esquire, Chairman of
the Community Criminal Justice Board to make a presentation
relative to the Drug Court legislative request.
Mr. Allen presented a video which introduced the concept of a
Drug Court. He reviewed the increase in the number of drug
arrests in the past five years and the philosophy behind the
Drug Court. He then reviewed key elements of Drug Court
including eligibility being limited to non-violent drug
addicts; clients must plead guilty prior to entering Drug
Court; clients remain in Drug Court for a minimum of twelve
months; clients appear frequently in court; non-compliant
behavior being immediately sanctioned; and clients failing to
complete the program being convicted. He reviewed the planning
team for the design of the Drug Court model. He then reviewed
recidivism results in both Chesterfield and Colonial Heights
and stated that 111 cases in the County would have been
eligible for Drug Court in 1997. He further stated that, after
tracking the 111 cases, 56 percent of the individuals in the
County returned with a new arrest or conviction within 15 to 27
months after sentencing. He reviewed benefits and costs of
drug court and stated that 69 percent of the offenders
convicted were sentenced to a period of active incarceration
for about six months. He further stated that the cost of
incarceration is $37.00 per day and the cost of Drug Court is
$10.95 per day. He stated that the County has received a
Planning Grant from the Justice Department and is requesting a
Budget Amendment of $125,000 from the General Assembly to
provide matching funds for a Federal Drug Court Implementation
Grant.
There was brief discussion relative to the request for a fifth
judge for the Twelfth District and the percentage of cases that
would be transferred to Drug Court.
When asked, Judge T. J. Hauler stated that the Drug Court
program is not designed at this time to accommodate juveniles.
Discussion, questions and comments ensued relative to the
request for matching funds; implementation of Drug Courts in
the State for juveniles; which locality would realize the cost
savings of Drug Court versus incarceration; and the possibility
of juveniles being transferred as adults to Drug Court.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she would be willing to meet with the
Planning Committee to further discuss the Drug Court issue.
Senator Steve Martin stated that he has been a member of

00SN0146
In Matoaca Magisterial District, BROCK'S PROPERTIES requested
Conditional Use Planned Development and amendment of zoning
district map relative to freestanding sign area and to allow a
setback exception. The density of such amendment will be
controlled by zoning conditions or Ordinance standards. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
general industrial use. This request lies in a Community
Business (C-3) District on 1.3 acres and is known as 11310 Iron
Bridge Road. Tax ID 773-656-8122 (Sheet 25).
Ms. Rogers presented a summary of Case 00SN0146 and stated that
staff recommends approval of the setback exception and denial
of the larger freestanding sign because the larger sign does
not conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. She
further stated that the Planning Commission recommends approval
of both requests subject to two conditions and indicated that
the subject site should be considered separate from the
Watertower Shopping Center.
Mr. Dave Warren, representing the applicant, stated that the
Planning Commission's recommendation is acceptable.
There was no opposition present.
After brief discussion, on motion of Mrs. Humphrey, seconded by
Mr. Barber, the Board approved Case 00SN0146 subject to the
following conditions:
11/23/99
99-905
One (1) freestanding business sign not to exceed an
aggregate area of forty-one (41) square feet and a height
of eight (8) feet shall be permitted. A changeable copy
sign may be incorporated into or abut the sign face of the
freestanding business sign, provided it does not exceed an
area of eleven (11) square feet. (P & CPC)
o
A thirty-five (35) foot exception to the forty (40) foot
rear yard setback requirement shall be granted. (P)
(NOTE: At such time that the adjacent property to the west
is incorporated into the overall Watertower Development,
this condition becomes null and void.)
Ayes: Daniel, Warren, Barber, Humphrey, and McHale.
Nays: None.
99SN0292
In Dale Magisterial District, WEE FOLKS NURSERY, INC. requested
amendment to Special Exception (Case 73A184) and amendment of
zoning district map to amend the hours of operation for a day
care center. 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 2.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This request lies in an
Agricultural (A) District on 1.0 acre known as 6200 Hopkins
Road. Tax ID 780-683-9623 (Sheet 12).
Ms. Rogers presented a summary of Case 99SN0292 and stated that
the Planning Commission recommends approval subject to one
condition. She further stated that the Planning Commission
recommends that the proffered condition requiring installation
of shrubbery along the parking area's southern boundary not be
accepted and that a condition be imposed requiring a fence
along the southern edge of the parking area. She stated that
there has been discussion with the applicant today and a third
alternative would be for the Board to impose a condition to
reroute the traffic flow into the site from Hopkins Road by
entering at the southernmost access and exiting at the
northernmost access which would minimize headlight intrusion to
neighbors.
Mr. Jim Evans, representing the applicant, stated that, when
the original application was submitted, a 6:30 a.m. time
opening was imposed as a condition to the application. He
further stated that, approximately fifteen years ago, the owner
began to open at 6:00 a.m. because of a need in the community,
unintentionally violating the County's requirements. He stated
that, when the owner was notified of the violation, she
attempted to correct the problem by submitting a new
application. He further stated that the applicant is
suggesting a new condition changing the access to Hopkins Road
in an effort to alleviate interference from headlights to the
subdivision across the vacant lot. He referenced a petition
signed by 155 citizens who have no objection to the earlier
opening time and a letter from an adjacent landowner who has
never had a problem with noise or headlights and has no
objection to the 6:00 a.m. opening time. He presented two
pictures showing the proposed entrance and exit and stated that
the rerouting should alleviate the headlight intrusion issue.
99-906
11/23/99
Mr. William Grohursky, adjacent landowner, stated that he
originally proposed rerouting the traffic flow. He further
stated that he now feels there is no diligent way to enforce
the change and that a fence should be installed to prevent
headlight intrusion.
There being no one else to speak to the Case, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Evans stated that there is more than 150 feet between the
edge of day care center and Mr. Grohursky's home. He further
stated that the property owner does not feel a fence would be
appropriate at the day care center and that she offered to
install a fence on Mr. Grohursky's property. He stated that he
feels the traffic pattern change will not present a problem.
When asked, Mr. McCracken stated that the alternative traffic
pattern presents no safety concerns.
After brief discussion, Mr. Daniel made a motion, seconded by
Mr. Barber, for the Board to approve Case 99SN0292 subject to
the following conditions:
The child care center shall not be open to the public
between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Monday
through Saturday. The child care center shall not be open
to the public on Sunday. (P)
(NOTE: This condition supersedes Condition 3 of Case
73A184. Ail other conditions of Case 73A184 remain in
effect.)
Accesses to Hopkins Road shall be designated as a one way
access system, as follows. The southernmost access shall
be designated and signed as an entrance only and the
northernmost access shall be designated and signed as an
exit only. (?)
And, further,
condition:
the Board accepted the following proffered
Landscaping consisting of Ligustrum japonicum shall be
installed along the southern property boundary as shown on the
Plan entitled Landscaping Plan, attached to the "Request
Analysis and Recommendation". This landscaping shall be
installed during the Fall 1999 planting season. (P)

for a public hearing to consider the restriction of through
truck traffic on Happy Hill Road between Branders Bridge Road
and South Happy Hill Road.
Mrs. Janet Fisher, President of Stony Glen West Homeowners
Association, expressed safety concerns relative to children
gaining access to the community's playground and stated that
the residents of Stony Glen West are opposed to moving through
truck traffic from Happy Hill Road to South Happy Hill Road.
She recognized eight residents of Stony Glen West present at
the meeting who are opposed to the restriction of through truck
traffic on Happy Hill Road.
Mr. Craig Giegerich, a resident of Happy Hill Road, stated that
he feels South Happy Hill Road is designed to carry heavier
traffic and that he is in favor of restricting through truck
traffic on Happy Hill Road.
Mr. Vernon Cousins, a resident of Happy Hill Road, stated that,
when rezoning was proposed for development of the Stony Glen
Subdivision, the Happy Hill Road residents agreed that if the
developer proffered a new road, they would agree to the
/23/99
99-908
rezoning request. He expressed concerns relative to the speed
limit on Happy Hill Road and stated that he feels truck traffic
should be rerouted to the road designed to accommodate it. He
presented for the record a letter from the developer of Stony
Glen stating that he as aware of the intention of the
improvements of South Happy Hill Road and referenced a list of
people who are in favor of the traffic being rerouted to South
Happy Hill Road. He further expressed safety concerns and read
a proffered condition accepted in 1988 during the original
rezoning process for Stony Glen, stating that "Happy Hill Road
shall be realigned to be routed through the subject parcel in
general conformance with the plan as proposed by the
Chesterfield County Transportation Department."
Ms. Barbara Giegerich stated that, when Stony Glen was
proposed, the Happy Hill Road residents were assured by Mr.

development to reduce traffic on Happy Hill Road. She further
stated that she supports restriction of through truck traffic
on Happy Hill Road.

Happy Hill and South Happy Hill Roads.
Mr. McHale stated that Happy Hill Road is a relatively
unimproved country road and that the Thoroughfare Plan calls
for a four lane road from Route 10 ultimately connecting at
Jefferson Davis Highway. He further stated that he feels the
intention of the past Board of Supervisors, when negotiating
with the neighbors for the development of Stony Glen and Stony
Glen West, was to remove traffic from Happy Hill Road. He
stated that the developer expressed in his letter that he was
11/23/99

Road. He further stated that he feels it is appropriate for

16.C. TO CONSIDER A~ ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR BACKGROUND
CHECKS FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS
Mr. Micas stated that this date and time has been advertised
for a public hearing to consider an ordinance providing for
background checks for certain employees and volunteers. He
reviewed the employee groups for which the County currently
conducts background searches; databases that would be searched
if the ordinance were adopted; and groups of people who would
be searched under the proposed ordinance. He stated that,
since the Board's work session on October 13, 1999, the County
Administrator has worked with the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Contmittee and recommends revisions from the original draft
ordinance including creation of a committee to make
implementation and action recommendations; an appeal process
for accuracy to the County Administrator; mandatory
participation by "co-sponsored" organizations and leagues; all
99-910
11/23/99
costs to be paid by the County; and the search process to be
administered by Human Resources to protect confidentiality. He
further stated that the County Administrator is recommending an
effective date of March 1, 2000 and that a report be presented
to the Board by February 1, 2000 explaining implementation of
the ordinance and other issues addressed by the advisory
committee.

ICBC), stated that the Board of Directors adopted a resolution

background searches until the committee's work is complete and
specifics are presented.

Commission, stated that he feels the Board should defer
adoption of the ordinance until the committee brings back a
recommendation.
Ms. Terry Minor, President of A. M. Davis Athletic Association,
stated that she currently checks all of Davis's coaches under
the sex Offender Registry and suggested that, in lieu of a
complete background searches, the organizations be mandated to
check their volunteers through the Sex Offender Registry. She
expressed concerns relative to limiting volunteers within the
associations; confidentiality issues; and the necessity of an
appeal process. She stated that she feels there should be a
100 percent search of the Sex Offender Registry rather than a
random search.
There was brief discussion relative to associations imposing
Sex Offender Registry searches if mandated by the County.
Mr. Jim Beck, President of the Chesterfield Quarterback League,
stated that the Quarterback League cannot support background
checks at this time. He requested that the Board table
consideration of the ordinance until the committee can provide
further information.
Mr. Otis Green, representing Manchester Rescue Squad, stated
that the rescue squad unanimously supports the background
checks. He noted that the rescue squad currently performs
State Police background checks on all volunteers.
Mr. Harold McManus, a member of the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Commission, stated that he is in favor of the Board
taking some action relative to background checks. He expressed
concerns relative to giving parents a false security by
implementing background searches and the necessity for a high
level of confidentiality.

(CBL), stated that the CBL wholeheartedly supports the
background searches.
There being no one else to speak to the ordinance, the public
hearing was closed.
99-911

Mr. Daniel expressed concerns relative to the necessity for
implementing an ordinance for total background checks. He
stressed the importance of including the leadership of the
organizations involved with children in the committee to make
recommendations to the Board.
Mr. McHale stated that he originated the issue because of
reaction to a particular case and several phone calls from
constituents. He further stated that he feels the Board needs
to take action, but would be willing to defer the issue pending
further information. He expressed concerns relative to the
impact of the proposed ordinance on voluntarism and the
necessity for a universal system.
There was brief discussion relative to the members who would
comprise the committee to make implementations and
recommendations.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she feels the background searches
need to address crimes against juveniles only. She requested
that the committee study the issue thoroughly and bring back
recommendations to the Board.
Mr. Barber stated that Mr. Ramsey indicated at the Board's work
session on October 13, 1999 that this tool would be helpful in
evaluating County employees and applicants and suggested that
the Board adopt the ordinance at this time to require
background searches for employees and applicants only who work
with children. He suggested that the Chairman of the Emergency
Medical Services Advisory Board or his designee be appointed to
the committee and that recommendations be brought to the Board
for implementation of background searches for County volunteers
and co-sponsored leagues.
Mr. Warren stated that he feels employees and applicants need
to be separated from volunteers and that he is prepared to
implement the recommendations at this time for employees and
applicants only.

ordinance with respect to volunteers within the school system
