Ms. Curtin presented an update of the results of the 2000
General Assembly session. She reviewed County results and
stated that there was a slight modification in the legislative
request on toll facilities of the Richmond Metropolitan
Authority (RMA). She further stated that the County was
successful in getting a study by the joint Legislative Audit
Review Commission of the RMA and its toll operations. She then
reviewed significant legislation relative to the E9-1-1 User
Fee; wetlands; Virginia Transportation Act of 2000; State
Budget; and Constitutional Amendments. She noted that two
Constitutional Amendments will be on the ballot in November
2000 -- one relative to the return of net lottery proceeds to
localities for educational purposes and the other, relative to
the right to hunt, fish and harvest game.
Mr. Wendell Roberts, Assistant County Attorney, reviewed
legislation that would require changes to the County Code
relative to electric utility taxation; natural gas consumption
tax; interest on local tax assessment refunds; minimum fine for
Building Code violations; vicious or dangerous dogs; and
outdoor advertising. He then reviewed optional ordinance
00-387
/28/oo

6.B. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE MASTER PLAN
FOR THE SWIFT CREEK RESERVOIR WATERSHED
Ms. Joan Salvati, Water Quality Administrator, reviewed the
objectives of the Watershed Management Master Plan and
Maintenance Program. She stated that staff feels the project
is equitable and attainable, and will reduce impacts on
wetlands as well as protect both wetlands and streams. She
then introduced Mr. Fernando Pasquel, Project Manager from
CH2MHill, the Consultant who assisted the County in preparing
the Master Plan.
Mr. Pasquel presented an overview of the work that was done to
prepare the Master Plan. He reviewed existing land uses;
ultimate land uses; distribution of existing and ultimate land
use; the impact of changes in hydrology on watercourse erosion
and base flow relationships without best management practices;
an environmental resources inventory and watershed models used
to select water quality facilities (BMPs); and different
scenarios evaluated to identify locations of BMPs. He stated
that the recommended scenario incorporates traditional and
alternative BMPs, including watershed ponds and subwatershed
ponds; riparian stormwater wetlands; streambank stabilization
and buffer enhancement; enhanced floodplains; and riparian
corridor management. He further stated that BMPs are
distributed throughout the watershed, are compatible with
future infrastructure and meet the watershed objectives. He
then reviewed pollutant reduction goals; implementation of the
Master Plan including capital and programmatic costs; and more
than 16 funding alternatives. He stated that the four
selected funding alternatives include the general fund; pro
rata share; stormwater utilities; and grants, and noted that a
program could not be designed around grants. He reviewed
primary funding sources including program elements; a Swift
Creek Utility; and a Countywide Utility. He then reviewed
capital costs for Swift Creek BMPs and stated that the total
cost is approximately $36 million. He further stated that, in
a typical subdivision of 26 acres, the pro rata share for
capital construction costs of BMPs would be approximately $617
per lot, or a total of $42,000. He then reviewed
BMP/stormwater management locations throughout the County.
There was a brief discussion relative to the need to address
various drainage trouble spots in the County.
Mr. Pasquel reviewed SWM/BMP facilities by district and owner
type. He then introduced Mr. Mike Matichich from CH2MHILL to
continue the presentation.
Mr. Matichich reviewed proposed funding strategies for the
Swift Creek Utility and the Countywide Utility; the existing
stormwater management operating budget totaling $2.6 million
per year; and the proposed Countywide stormwater management
program costs totaling $5.0 million per year. He then reviewed
additional funds required to implement stormwater activities
/28/oo
00-388
for three years; revenue requirements over a ten-year planning
period; and revenue requirements and resulting funding
strategies.
When asked, Mr. Matichich stated that ERU is the equivalent
residential unit which is based on the impervious area of a
typical single family residential unit within the County. He
then reviewed the expansion of BMP Operations and Maintenance
with the Swift Creek Utility and the Countywide Utility. He
stated that the Countywide Utility figure is lower than the
Swift Creek Utility because of more efficient use of resources
to mobilize crews and maintain the facilities.
When asked, Mr. Matichich stated, that, with a Countywide
Utility, the cost to the typical homeowner would amount to
approximately $12 per year. He further stated that the purpose
of a stormwater utility is to provide a dedicated funding
source for a municipality's stormwater management program. He
stated that the selected rate structure should be fair, simple
and equitable and that the typical residence defines the base
unit. He further stated that businesses are billed as
multiples of the base unit. He reviewed feasible and equitable
funding mechanisms within typical ranges for the Stormwater
Utility and the Pro Rata Share funding sources both in the
state and nationwide.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the accuracy of the
cost figures for operations and maintenance and the possibility
of future rate increases.
There was brief discussion relative to the studies used in
developing the cost figures.
Mr. Pasquel stated that Prince William County has implemented
this type of fee since 1994 and has not had an increase thus
far. He further stated that the utilities rate typically
remains constant for five to ten years.
Ms. Salvati stated that the County does not anticipate any new
major programs that would cause significant increases.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns relative to the possibility of
new growth paying fer the operations and maintenance fees.
When asked, Mr. Pasquel stated that Prince William County has
a similar structure as Chesterfield in that development pays
for the construction of the BMPs, but the maintenance and
program costs are paid for by the citizens who use the system.
Ms. Salvati stated that the utility fee will pay for clean-up
of the stormwater before it enters the streams which would
include the Swift Creek Watershed, the Falling Creek Watershed,
and the Appomattox Watershed, as well as the 1300 miles of
streams throughout the County.
Mr. Matichich reviewed implementation activities and steps to
implement the watershed management master plan.
Mr. Ramsey reviewed staff's recommendations including setting
a public hearing for October 11, 2000 to consider
implementation of the Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed
Management Plan; conducting education programs throughout the
County relative to Countywide stormwater utility issues;
consideration at the public hearing of whether the County
should proceed to take over the maintenance of BMPs Countywide;
/28/oo
00-389
and investigating other feasible funding alternatives than a
stormwater utility.
When asked, Ms. Salvati stated it is anticipated that the
public hearing on October 11, 2000 would be to consider the
Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed Management Master Plan
including the construction and maintenance funding options.
She further stated that a Countywide Utility would take into
account operation and maintenance of all BMPs throughout the
County, drainage trouble spots, stream restoration and other
items that would directly benefit all County residents.
Mr. McHale expressed concerns relative to the time required to
educate residents outside of the Upper Swift Creek Area
relative to the proposed Countywide Utility covering other
areas within the County. He stated that there is a possibility
the education programs might not be completed prior to the
public hearing in October.
Mr. Warren requested that Ms. Salvati provide more detailed
information at the July 26, 2000 meeting relative to educating
citizens regarding the proposed Countywide Utility,
particularly those citizens outside of the Swift Creek Area.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to taking action prior
to exploring additional financing options.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to assessment of
commercial development at a rate ten times higher than the
average residential development. He suggested that a funding
alternative be explored for commercial development to prevent
a negative economic development impact.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she feels an additional work session
relative to the scientific aspect of the Swift Creek Reservoir
Watershed Management and Maintenance Plan or perhaps individual
meetings with Board members may be necessary.
There was brief discussion relative to assessment of commercial
development for funding of operations and maintenance.
Mr. Warren requested that staff prepare a plan relative to
educating County citizens regarding the Watershed Management
Plan and funding option of establishing a Countywide Stormwater
Utility.
7. DEFERRED ITEMS
There were no Deferred Items at this time.
8. NEW BUSINESS
8.A. ANNUAL CASH PROFFER INFORMATION
Ms. Dickson presented an update on Cash Proffers. She reviewed
summary statistics as of December 1999, including $29.5 million
proffered to date; $4.3 million collected to date; $2.3 million
appropriated to date; 7,998 lots created with cash proffers;
and 1,386 lots paying cash proffers. She then reviewed summary
statistics by magisterial district; amounts collected from 1991
through 1999; collections/appropriations by category; number of
units paying proffers from 1991 through 1999; and net cost
6/28/oo
00-390
trends. She stated that in FY2000, the net cost for providing
capital facilities for new dwelling units is $6,616 and the
maximum cash proffer related to that net cost is $6,200. She
further stated that the new calculated net cost for FY2001 is
$8,163.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the primary difference in
the net costs in FY2000 and FY2001 is due to increased road
costs which were adjusted to reflect recent projects costs.
She further stated that Schools had an increase because of the
addition of improvements at L. C. Bird High School.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the expenditure of
cash proffer funds outside of the district for which they are
collected.
Ms. Dickson stated that cash proffer funds collected from any
district for libraries, parks and fire stations can be spent
anywhere within the County. She further stated that there are
nineteen specific transportation sheds and cash proffers
collected for transportation can only be spent within a
specific shed.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the current maximum cash
proffer amount of $6,200 has been maintained for the past two
years.
There was brief discussion relative to the addition of other
categories for expenditure of cash proffer funds.
Mr. Barber suggested that the proposed Countywide utility might
be considered as an addition to the categories for expenditure
of cash proffer funds. He questioned the possibility of
additional opportunities for the actual payment of cash
proffers.
Ms. Dickson stated that staff will explore the possibility of
cash proffer payment times after the issuance of a building
permit but prior to certificate of occupancy.
Mr. McHale stated that the current net cost trends indicate
that an increase in the maximum amount collected for cash
proffers is necessary, but that he feels it might be risky to
collect the $8,163 suggested by staff. He further stated that
he feels setting the maximum cash proffer amount at $7,800
would bring the County more in line with existing costs and
assist in the development of future facilities.
Mr. McHale then made a motion, seconded by Mr. Warren, for the
Board to adopt the Marshall and Swift Cost Index increase of
4.8 percent for existing cash proffer cases and set the maximum
cash proffer amount per lot for FY2001 at $7,800.
There was brief discussion relative to increasing the maximum
cash proffer amount in future years.
Mr. McHale stated that the issue can be revisited again next
year if the net cost trends increase.
Mr. Warren called for a vote on the motion made by Mr. McHale,
seconded by Mr. Warren, for the Board to adopt the Marshall and
Swift Cost Index increase of 4.8 percent for existing cash
proffer cases and set the maximum cash proffer amount per lot
for FY2001 at $7,800.

8.D.8. INITIATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR REZONING WITH A
CONDITIONAL USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PERMIT USE
AND BULK EXCEPTIONS
Mr. George Beadles, a resident of the Clover Hill District,
stated that he would like to see a policy for the initiation of
rezoning proposals by the Planning Commission and Board of
Supervisors. He further stated that he feels all cases
initiated should be paid for, and if the County initiates the
case, it should be funded with District Improvement Funds. He
stated that he does not feel R-12 zoning should be requested by
the County if the impact on capital facilities cannot be
addressed.
There was no one else present to speak to the issue.
/28/oo
O0-A20
Mr. Warren stated that the proposed request represents an
opportunity for planned, managed growth.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the proposed request was
initiated by Mr. Russell Gulley, Clover Hill District Planning
Commissioner. He further stated that the property owner has
been seeking rezoning in a piecemeal fashion. He stated that,
during the discussion of the initial case for rezoning of a
portion of the parent parcel, it became apparent that if the
entire property were to be rezoned, the County would have major
advantages for improved access at Clover Hill High School, as
well as a shared BMP which would accommodate expansion of the
school. He further stated that the residents of Southshore
Subdivision would also benefit from a better access to their
property. He stated that staff feels there was a significant
public interest in having the Board initiate the application
for rezoning.
There was brief discussion relatiw~ to the fee for initiation
of rezoning.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to loss of revenue and
the County's ability to distinguish applications with
significant public interest from other applications for
rezoning.
There was brief discussion relative to the rollback tax
consequence being avoided for five years when the Board
initiates the application for rezoning.
Mr. Barber requested that a policy be prepared for the County's
initiation of applications for rezoning for the Board's
consideration.
Mr. Jacobson stated that Planning staff will prepare a draft
policy for the Board's consideration.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the County's initiation of the
applicatien will provide the oppertunity te deal with a
significant traffic issue in the Clover Hill High Scheol area.
Mr. Warren stated that he feels staff has sufficient
information to develop a policy for County initiation of
applications for rezoning. He further stated that he feels
there is sufficient evidence to support the urgency of the
requested action.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the only fee that would be
affected by the County's initiation of rezoning is the
application fee. He further stated that all subsequent costs
in terms of site plan or subdivisions would be paid for by the
property owner.
On motion of Mr. Warren, seconded by Mr. Barber, the Board
initiated an application !for rezoning from Agricultural (A) to
Neighborhood Business (C-2), Corporate Office (0-2),
Residential (R-12) with Conditional Use Planned Development on
those tracts plus an existing zoned Neighborhood Business (C-2)
tract on property located at 13924 and 13934 Hull Street Road
(Tax ID 725-672-Part of 1175 and 726-672-Part of 1039).

PARK AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
Mr. George Beadles, a Clover Hill resident, expressed concerns
relative to the expenditure of cash proffer funds to produce a
parks and recreation master plan. He stated that he feels the
funding should come from the General Fund.
There was no one else present to speak to the issue.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns as to the Parks and Recreation
Plan not being paid for by the General Fund.
Mr. Ramsey stated that cash proffer funds have been built into
the County's capital improvement program process. He further
stated that planning for County facilities, in some cases the
acquisition of land, and other up-front costs have been
considered appropriate uses of cash proffers.
When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated that the request is consistent
with the information provided to the General Assembly relative
to appropriate uses of cash proffers.
Mr. Golden stated that there is funding for the Parks Master
Plan two years out in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
He further stated that both the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission and the Planning Commission requested that the
request for funding of the Master Plan be brought forward prior
to the development of the Public Facilities Plan. He stated
that the CIP funds set aside in two years for the Master Plan
would be available for a project.
Mr. Miller stated that he is excited to see the Master Plan
being developed.
Mr. Miller then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the
Board to appropriate cash proffer funds in the amount of
$50,000 to the Parks and Recreation Department to begin the
development of the Department's Comprehensive Master Plan.

FOR REPAIR OF A RESIDENTIAL WATER SERVICE LINE ON
FOX CHASE DRIVE
Mr. George Beadles, a Clover Hill resident, expressed concerns
relative to County funds being used for repair of a residential
water service line when staff feels the County is not liable.
There was no one else present to speak to the issue.
When asked, Mr. Micas stated that District Improvement Funds
could legally be used for the requested purpose, however staff
recommends denial.
There was brief discussion relative to another residence on Fox
Chase Drive where a water leak at the meter had occurred.
6/28/00
00-422
When asked, Mr. Bryant stated that it is his understanding that
the contractor performing work on a County project had agreed
on his own to remove a stump from the property located at 3308
Fox Chase Drive. He further stated that he does not feel the
County could have created any pressures by cutting on and off
the water that would have caused damage to the pipe.
Mr. Warren requested that Mr. Dupler explore the possibility of
a warranty issue with the damaged pipe. He stated that he
feels the property owners' concerns are legitimate and the
County should investigate situations such as this to the
satisfaction of the property owners.
Mr. McHale expressed concerns relative to the private
negotiations between the County's contractor and the property
owner and stated that he questions the County's responsibility.
Mr. Barber stated that he intends to abstain from the vote
based on staff's recommendation.
Mr. Miller stated that he will support Mr. Warren, but he hopes
the County will not continue to approve claims such as this.
Mr. Warren expressed the need for the County to con~nunicate
with the homeowner from a customer service standpoint.
When asked, Mr. Dupler stated that he would meet with the
homeowners to determine if the pipe is subject to a recall and,
if so, assist them with details on how to pursue a claim. He
further stated that it is his understanding that the pipe was
original with the construction of the house.
When asked, Ms. Smith stated that the house was constructed in
1980 and as far as the owner knew, the pipe was the original
one used during the construction. She further stated that she
had a plumbing contractor examine the pipe who determined that
the pressure rating was 160 PSI.
Mr. Warren requested that, if claims arise in the future in
areas where the County is doing extensive work in a
neighborhood, staff should make every effort to communicate
with the property owner and pursue details of the situation.
He requested that the iCounty Administrator meet with the
property owner relative to their concerns.
Mr. Ramsey stated that he will furnish Mr. Warren with a full
repert of Risk Management's investigatien of the situation.
Since no action was taken the matter is deemed withdrawn.

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS
16.A. TO CONSIDER PROPOSED VAN SERVICE
Mr. Stith stated that this date and time has been advertised
for a public hearing to consider the proposed van service which
is intended to connect people with jobs and to provide service
for the elderly, disabled and those without other methods of
transportation. He further stated that some years ago the
County purchased 50 percent of the Greater Richmond Transit
Company (GRTC). He recognized Mr. Rollo Axton and Mr. Freddie
Fuller, representing GRTC who were present at the meeting. He
also recognized Mr. David Mathews and Mr. Danny Smith, two of
the County's three appointees to the GRTC Board of Directors.
He stated that Senators John Watkins and Henry Marsh proposed
legislation in an addendum to the Appropriations Act that gave
approximately $5.3 million to Central Virginia to develop a
study to propose public transportation. He further stated that
in April 1999 staff contracted with a consultant to assist with
the development of a proposed pilot transportation project. He
stated that in December 1999 Mr. Ramsey presented the staff's
recommendations for the development of a two-year pilot
transportation program. He further stated that staff has met
with numerous civic organizations and citizen groups in an
effort to promote the County's pilot program. He further
stated that the proposal develops transportation service on
both Midlothian Turnpike and Jefferson Davis Highway;
establishes two express routes connecting to center-city of
Richmond; allows for a three-quarter mile deviation for the
elderly and disabled upon 24-hour notice; allows transfer of
riders from the GRTC regular routes to the County's system;
provides an additional route from Route 10 at Jefferson Davis
Highway to the Courthouse area and Airport Industrial Park. He
stated that staff recommends the use of approximately twenty
25-passenger vans for the proposed service which will be
equipped to handle the disabled.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the possibility of
delivering disabled citizens within the three-qDarter mile
deviation from the proposed route to their required destination
and the length of travel time necessary for the elderly and
disabled to reach their destination.
When asked, Mr. Stith stated that at this time the County's
proposal does not call for prospects to expand the service to
other areas. He further stated that the cost of the vans is
approximately $850,000 which was provided for by the General
Assembly. He stated that the cost to maintain the service is
approximately $2.2 million per year, $300,000 of which will be
provided by van fares.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to assurance of
extension of funding beyond the two year pilot program by the
General Assembly.
Mr. Ramsey stated that Senator John Watkins made a budget
amendment request at this year's General Assembly session for
extension of funding.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to the possibility of
discontinuing the service before the two year time period if it
did not appear to be working well.

County.
Mr. Miller questioned Senator Watkins as to what assurances he
can give that additional funding will be approved by the
General Assembly.
Senator Watkins stated that all of the funds being used for the
pilot program are designated for mass transit. He further
stated that more funds were designated to mass transit by the
General Assembly this year than ever before in the history of
the Commonwealth. He stated that he feels the General Assembly
intends to see that those commitments are followed through on.
He further stated that the General Assembly has committed for
two years of funding and the adopted budget amendment reads for
a continuation of the funding. He stated that the budget can
only be approved every two years. He further stated that, as
long as he is a member of the General Assembly, he will commit
to attempt to insure that the funding is maintained.

expressed concerns relative to the lengthy van routes,
questionable use of the vans, and future funding
responsibilities. She stated that she has heard a loud cry
from the disabled population for para-transit service. She
suggested that the County modify its proposal by purchasing
fewer vans; provide a trial run along the original proposed
route for the working population in the early morning and late
afternoon hours; and provide door to door service for the
disabled in between those times.
Mr. Joe Cacciotti, a resident of the Midlothian District,
stated that he has no need for the proposed van service. He
expressed concerns relative to the County's role in the
daily/monthly operations of the proposed service; locating bus
stops in compliance with State laws; advertisements on the
vans; trash facilities at bus stops; and who will decide upon
the placement of the bus stops.
Mr. Jerry Harwell, a Dale District resident, expressed concerns
relative to the number of vans being purchased and the cost of
the vans. He stated that the proposal may be a "feel good"

program will be successful, but will require good management
and timing.
Ms. Marilyn Rissel, a resident of Crestwood Farms, representing
Refugee and Immigration Services of the Catholic Dioceses of
Richmond and the Limited English Speaking Partnership, stated

Board's support of the proposal.
There being no one else to speak to the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
There was brief discussion relative to adjustment of routes.
Mr. Barber stated that it is his understanding that the WalMart
on Midlothian Turnpike may soon be initiating a rezoning or
site plan approval which could prove to be controversial. He
requested that the proposed roune for Midlothian Turnpike be
terminated somewhere short of WalMart at the Chesterfield Towne
Center area to minimize future conflict.
Mr. Warren stated that he feels the Board has a responsibility
tonight to indicane support for the proposal and staff's
recommendations. He further stated that staff could be given
thirty days to incorporate some of the comments made tonight.
He stated that he is prepared to support a motion to endorse
the concept of the van plan as outlined by staff subject to
modifications based on comments received tonight plus any
written comments received.
Mr. Barber made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board
to support the concept of the van service as presented, and
request that staff take into consideration the comments
presented at the hearing and come back to the Board on July 26,
2000 with the agreement for GRTC/County authorization.
Mr. Barber stated that surveys were distributed at a community
meeting held in Midlothian last year, and the majority of the
people who completed the surveys supported public vans and
door-to-door transportation for the disabled and elderly. He
further stated that, because there is no data, no one knows
whether or not the program will be successful. He stated that
the proposal represents an opportunity through General Assembly
funding to pilot the program for two years to determine if it
is worthwhile.
Mr. McHale stated that he feels the pilot program will allow
the County to collect data over the next two years. He
requested that Mr. Ramsey provide a report detailing the para-
transit service that will be available under the proposal. He
stated that the business community is very supportive of the
proposal and that he recently met with representatives from a
s/28/oo
00-449
potential new industry considering locating in the County who
expressed concerns that there was no public transportation. He
further stated that the uncertainty of future funding is a
cause for concern, but he feels the Board would be derelict in
its duty not to give the pilot program a chance.
Mr. Miller stated that he does not deny there are residents who
are worthy of such a service, but the program has not received
the support of the constituency in the Dale District. He
further stated that he would support a referendum as a true
test as to whether the County residents are willing to support
the proposal. He expressed concerns relative to the
expenditure of taxpayer dollars for the public transportation
program and suggested that the businesses who support it be
willing to invest in it. He stated that he would like to see
a program that deals with the needs of the elderly and disabled
and that the van proposal is not the answer. He further stated
that there is no assurance that funding will be available for
the service after two years and that, once the program has been
initiated, the County will not be able to stop it. He stated
that he feels there are other ways to address the needs of the
disabled and that endorsement of the proposal would open an
envelope that will be difficult to close. He further stated
that he feels the County should find some way to subsidize the
program further; this is not the proper expenditure of funds;
and he will not support the proposal.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that she does not feel the County is ready
for GRTC bus transit throughout the entire County. She further
stated that public transportation funds in the County that are
allocated for the Matoaca District should be used to improve
the dirt roads where school buses drive. She stated that the
State limits the County's expenditure of public transportation
funds. She further stated either that the Board can act upon
some type of public transportation service with the funds
appropriated by the General Assembly or the State will provide
a service which could include the expansion of GRTC in its
present form. She stated that the proposal was developed from
information that was provided at community meetings throughout
the County over the past four years. She further stated that
Virginia State University has expressed an interest in
accessing the student population to the remainder of the County
and the region and that, as far as she knows, it is the only
university in the State that does not have access to public
transportation. She stated that she will support the motion
even though she feels the County is not ready for mass public
transportation and there are no guarantees for continued
funding, but because she is not comfortable with the State
providing public transportation service in the County if the
County fails to do so.
Mr. Warren expressed appreciation for the public input towards
the van' proposal. He stated that the proposal did not require
a public hearing, but he felt it was necessary. He further
stated that there were numerous people in support of the
proposal who did not speak and recognized Mrs. Joan Girone,
former member of the Board of Supervisors and Mr. Rollo Axton
from GRTC, who were present at the meeting. He stated that the
GRTC program in the metropolitan area has been recognized
nationally as one of the most efficient systems in the nation.
He further stated that he feels the County's proposal will
enhance the efficiency of an already efficient system. He
stated that he feels the proposal is a flexible program that
will provide County residents with an option that he hopes many
/28/oo
00-450
people will take advantage of. He further stated that he feels
a van program can fit into a suburban environment much better
than large businesses. He commended members of GRTC, County
staff and other organizations for recognizing the value in
having flexibility built into a public transportation program.
He indicated that he sees the proposal as a tremendous
opportunity for County residents and stated that he hopes it
will be successful.
Mr. Warren then called fiora vote on the motion made by Mr.
Barber, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board to support the
concept of the van service as presented, and request that staff
take into consideration the comments presented at the hearing
and come back to the Board on July 26, 2000 with the agreement
for GRTC/County authorization.

17. REMAINING MOBILE HOME PERMITS AND ZONING REQUESTS
00SN0240
In Bermuda Magisterial iDistrict, J. K. TIMMONS requested
rezoning and amendment of zoning district map from Agricultural
(A) to Residential (R-15). Residential use of up to 2.9 units
per acre is permitted in a Residential (R-15) District. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
residential use of 2.51 to 4.0 units per acre. This request
lies on 259 acres fronting approximately 4,500 feet on the east
line of Branders Bridge Road, approximately 400 feet south of
South Happy Hill Road and at the western termini of Hickory
Glen and Twin Cedars Roads. Tax ID 786-642-8969 (Sheet 34).
Ms. Beverly Rogers presented a suu~ary of Case 00SN0240 and
stated that the Planning Commission and staff recommend
approval and acceptance of the proffered conditions. She noted
that there was no opposition at the Planning Commission meeting
and the request conforms to the Southern and Western Area Plan.
She stated that the applicant has proferred a condition to
limit development to a maximum of 450 lots yielding a density
of 1.7 units per acre. She further stated that the proffered
conditions address the impact on capital facilities consistent
with the Board's policy and road improvements along the
property's frontage along Branders Bridge Road; prohibits
vehicular access to adjacent subdivisions; requires minimum
house sizes; provides for dedication of 25 feet of land
adjacent to Stoney Glen Subdivision to that homeowners'
association; and addresses phasing of the development with a
cumulative total of 50 building permits issued per year until
January 1, 2005, which is based upon the anticipated completion
of the reconstruction of Branders Bridge Road as a two-lane
facility from Carver Heights Drive to South Happy Hill Road in
2006.
Mr. Oliver "Skitch" Rudy, representing the applicant, stated
that five community meetings were held and the Stoney Glen and
Stoney Glen West Homeowners' Associations are now in support of
the proposed development.~ He further stated that the applicant
has proffered certain improvements to Branders Bridge Road, as
well as proffering cash to address future transportation
impacts. He stated that roads are improved as a result of
increased traffic. He stated that the developer will insure a
6/28/00
00-459
-j
quality development similar to the existing Stoney Glen and
Stoney Glen West Subdivisions and requested the Board's
approval of the request.
Mr. Ralph Gehr, President of the Stoney Glen Community
Association, stated that after numerous community meetings, the
association now supports the request. He further stated that
this is an excellent example of a system that works well.
Ms. Betty Michalek, representing the residents of Branders
Bridge Road from Treely Road south to Whitehouse Road, stated
the residents are opposed to the request for rezoning. She
expressed concerns relative to increased traffic and unsafe
conditions on Branders Bridge Road. She stated that the Sik-
Year Plan is currently proposing improvements on Branders
Bridge Road from South Happy Hill Road north to Route 10 and
expressed concerns relative to the need for improvements south
of South Happy Hill Road. She further stated that concerns
were expressed at the Planning Commission hearing relative to
the cash proffers not adequately addressing the impact on
capital facilities. She expressed concerns relative to the
need for additional schools, parks, libraries, fire stations
and transportation facilities that the proposed development
will create a need for. She requested that the Board consider
the concerns for the safety, health and welfare of all who
travel Branders Bridge Road prior to approving the request for
rezoning.
There being no one else to speak to the case, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Rudy stated that the developer has addressed all of the
capital improvements concerns through cash proffers and
requested the Board's approval of the proposed development.
Mr. McHale commended Mr. Phil Cunningham, Bermuda District
Planning Commissioner, for his efforts towards addressing the
concerns of neighboring subdivisions relative to the details of
the development. He stated that he is familiar with the
challenges in traffic on BSanders Bridge Road and noted that
there are many other roads within the County that need
attention. He further stated that he does not feel the Board
has the ability to deny zoning based on road improvements that
are well off site. He stated that the safety concerns cannot
be ignored and requested that Mr. McCraeken add to the
discussion for the Six-Year Road Plan continuation of
improvements to Branders Bridge from Happy Hill Road to
Whitepine Road.
Mr. McHale then made a motion for the Board to approve Case
00SN0240.
Mrs. Humphrey seconded the motion. She stated that her primary
concern with the original application for rezoning was the
proposed density. She further stated that it is highly likely
that the proposed development may transition to the new Matoaca
High School and that she feels a further assessment of Branders
Bridge Road is imminent. She requested that Mr. Rudy assist
the County through the relationships he has made in the
acquisition of right of way from residents along Branders
Bridge Road.
Mr. Warren called for a vote on motion of Mr. McHale, seconded
by Mrs. Humphrey, for the Board to approve Case 00SN0240 and
6/28/oo

EXISTING PROPERTY AND ADDITIONS
Section 1. Existing property. The real property which is
and shall be held, transferred, sold, conveyed, given, donated,
leased, occupied, and used subject to these Covenants is
described as follows:
All that tract or parcel of land, situate, lying and being
in Chesterfield County, Virginia, which is more particularly
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by specific
reference made a part hereof.
All of the real property hereinabove described shall
sometimes be referred to herein as the "Existing Property".
The Developer intends to develop the Existing Property in
accordance with a Master Plan plaoed on display in certain
model homes and other areas. The Developer reserves the right
to review and modify the Master Plan at its sole option from
time to time based upon its continuing research and design
program. The Master Plan shall not bind the Developer to
adhere to the Master Plan in the development of the land shown
thereon. Subject to its right to modify the Master Plan as
stated herein, the Developer shall convey to the Association
certain properties designated for such conveyance in Article
IV, Section 4 of this Declaration, and, in addition, may at its
option convey to the Association as provided in Article IV such
of those parcels of land designated on the Master Plan as
properties which may be transferred to the Association, as, in
the reasonable exercise of its discretion, it so chooses
without regard to the relative location of such portions or
sections within the overall Plan. Once conveyed to the
Association, these properties shall, become Common Properties.
The Developer shall not be required to follow any predetermined
sequence or order of improvements and development and may bring
within the plan of these covenants additional lands, and
develop the same before completing the development of the
Existing Property. Other than as stated in this paragraph, the
Developer shall have full power to add to, subtract from, or
make changes in the Master Plan regardless of the fact that
such actions may alter the relative maximum potential voting
strength of the various types of membership of the Association.
Section 2. Additions to Existing Property. Additional
lands may become subject~to this Declaration in the following
manner:
00-465
6/28/oo
(a) Additions. During the period of development,
which shall by definition extend from the date hereof to
January 1, 1999, the Developer shall have the right, without
further consent of the Association, to bring within the Plan
and operation of this Declaration, additional acreage adjacent
to or near Stoney Glen West owned or acquired by the Developer
during the period of development. Such property may be
subjected to this Declaration as one parcel or as several
smaller parcels at one time or at different times. The
additions of such property authorized under this paragraph may
increase the cumulative maximum number of Residential Lots
authorized in the Properties by the Zoning Ordinance of the
County of Chesterfield, Virginia, and, therefore, may alter the
relative maximum potential voting strength of the various types
of membership of the Association.
The additions authorized under this and the succeeding
subsection shall be made by recording a Supplementary
Declaration of Covenants and Restriction with respect to the
additional property which shall extend the operation and effect
of the Covenants to such additional property. The
Supplementary Declaration may contain such complementary
additions and/or modifications of the Covenants as may be
necessary or convenient, in the sole judgment of the Developer,
to reflect the different character, if any, of the added
properties and as are not inconsistent with the plan of this
Declaration, but such modifications shall have no effect upon
the Property described in Section 1, Article II above, or upon
any other prior additions to the Properties.
(b) Other Additions. Upon approval in writing of the
Association pursuant to a simple majority of the vote of those
present at a duly called meeting, the owner of any property who
desires to add such property to the plan and operation of this
Declaration and to subject it to the jurisdiction of the
Association shall record a Supplementary Declaration of
Covenants and Restrictions with respect to the additional
property which shall extend the operation and effect of these
Covenants to such additional property. The additions of such
property authorized under this subparagraph may increase the
cumulative maximum number of Residential Lots authorized in the
Properties by the Zoning Ordinance of the County of
Chesterfield, Virginia, and, therefore, may alter the relative
maximum potential voting strength of the various types of
membership of the Association.
The Supplementary Declaration may contain such
complementary additions and/or modifications of the Covenants
as may be necessary or convenient, in the judgment of the
Association, to reflect the different character, if any, of the
added properties and as are not inconsistent with the plan of
this Declaration, but such modifications shall have no effect
upon the Property described in Section 1, Article II above, or
upon any other prior additions to the Properties.
(c) Mergers. Upon merger or consolidation of the
Association with another association, as provided for in the
By-La.ws of the Association, its property, rights and
obligations may, by operation of law, be transferred to another
surviving or consolidated association, or in the alternative,
the properties, rights and obligations of another association
may, by operation of law, be added to the properties, rights
and obligations of the Association as a surviving corporation
pursuant to a merger. The surviving or consolidated
00-466
/28/oo
association may administer the Existing Property, together with
the covenants established upon any other properties, as one
plan. No merger or consolidation shall effect any revocation,
change, or addition to the Covenants within the Existing
Property, including, without limitation, the maximum limits on
Assessments and dues of the Association, or any other matter
substantially affecting the interests of Members of the
Association.
(d) Additional lands which become subject this
Declaration under the provisions of this Section II may in the
future be referred to as a part of Stoney Glen West. Also, the
name Stoney Glen West may be used by the Developer to refer to
other nearby properties not subject to this Declaration.

vote in favor of such proposed increase, it shall be deemed

shall equal the Maximum Regular Annual Assessment on such
Residential Lot for the previous year multiPlied by the C.P.I.

PART I
COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE
OBLIGATIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL
PROPERTIES IN STONEY GLEN WEST
The primary purpose of these covenants, restrictions and
affirmative obligations ("Covenants") and the foremost
consideration in the origin of same has been the creation of a
community which is aesthetically pleasing and functionally
convenient. The establishment of certain objective standards
relating to design, size and location of dwellings and other
structures makes it impossible to take full advantage of the
individual characteristics of each parcel of Property and of
technological advances and environmental values. For this
reason such standards are not established by these Covenants.
However, in order to implement the purposes of these Covenants,
the Developer may establish and amend from time to time
objective standards and guidelines, including, but not limited
to, Building Guidelines, Uniform Sign Regulations, Uniform
Mailbox Regulations, and Landscape Guidelines as such terms are
defined hereinafter, which shall be in addition to and more
restrictive than these Covenants, and which shall be binding on

the proposed location of such building or structure, drives,
and parking areas), and construction schedule shall have been
approved by the Developer. In addition, the Developer may, at
its election, require prior written approval of a landscape
plan. The Developer further reserves the right to promulgate
and amend from time to time architectural standards and
construction specifications (hereinafter referred to as the
"Building Guidelines") for specific neighborhoods and areas or
for all Properties within Stoney Glen West, and such Building
Guidelines shall establish, define, and expressly limit those
standards and specifications which will be approved in said
neighborhoods and areas or within the Properties, including,
but not limited to, architectural style, exterior color or
finish, roofing material, siding material, driveway material,
fencing material, landscape design, and construction technique.
No alteration in the exterior appearance of any building, fence
or structure, including exterior color or finish, shall be made
without like prior approval by the Developer. One (1) copy of
all plans and related data shall be furnished to the Developer

topography of each Property, taking into consideration the
location of large trees and other aesthetic and environmental
considerations, the Developer reserves the right to approve the
precise site and location of any building, fence or structure
on any Property in Stoney Glen West. Such location shall be
determined only after reasonable opportunity is afforded the
Property Owner to recommend a specific site. The provisions of
this paragraph shall in no way be construed as a guarantee that
the view, privacy, sunlight, or breeze available to a building
or structure on a given Property shall not be affected by the
location of a building or structure on an adjacent Property.
1.2. Tree Removal. No trees measuring six (6) inches or
more in diameter at a point two feet above ground level may be
removed without the prior approval of the Developer. Approval

building will be granted unless such removal will substantially
decrease the beauty of the Property.

right to promulgate and amend from time to time landscape
guidelines (the "Landscape Guidelines") which shall establish
approved standards, methods, and procedures for landscape
management on specific Properties in Stoney Glen West, and such
authorized standards, methods, and procedures may be utilized
by the Owners of such specified Properties without prior
written approval by the Developer; provided, however, the
/28/oo
