8. NEW BUSINESS
8 . A. APPROVAL OF AGREEMl!~NTS AND FINANCI~.L DESIGNATIONS TO
PURCHASE THE GROurnn> LEASE AT CLOVEE~EAF MALL
Assistant County Attorney Tara McGee provided details of
actions beings requested of the Board to authorize the
purchase of the remaining ground lease at Cloverleaf Mall.
She stated that the sale and approval of the contract would
complete the acquisition of all property at Cloverleaf Mall
and would also settle a pending lawsuit. She stated the sale
contract with Crosland is contingent on a successful rezoning
of the property and potential economic incentives.
~c'
In response to Mr. King's question, Ms. McGee stated the
approximate :':iize of the property is 83 acres.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, I1s. McGee stated the
county would continue to pay ground leasE~ payments, which are
approximately $339,000 a year, but are subject to an
escalator. She further stated the Qnnual payment could
increase to over $400,000 and continue to increase at least
every eight years. She stated the agreement offered by
Millmar needs to be ratified today for acceptance by the
Economic Development Authority tomorrow. She further stated
. ,
If the Board chooses not to approve the agreement, Millmar's
offer at $7.25 million goes away, and the county will be back
in litigation to determine the appropriate measure to
determine the value.
Mr. Warren expressed concerns relative to what will happen
wi th the developer's offer to purchase the property if the
Board does not take the requested action today.
Mr. King expressed disappointment that he was only provided
thirty minutes in closed session to consider the first
purchase at Cloverleaf because of a $600,000 purchase option
that the county had paid without his knowledge. He further
stated he has not once voted against business, and will not
do so today. He expressed concerns that the current proposal
for re-developing Cloverleaf Mall is nothing like staff
originally represented it in closed session, indicating that
he regrets having supported the earlier proposal. He stated
this is the most disappointing issue he has faced in four
years on the Board. He referenced the Meadowville tract and
noted that he voted against continuing to pay those options.
He compared the Cloverleaf Mall proj ect to Branner Station,
indicating that it was his dream for the Cloverleaf property
to be developed as business, and the current proposal
includes almost no business, but single-family dwellings and
apartments. He again expressed concerns that the current
proposal is nothing like what was originally presented to the
Board when he made his original decision and indicated that
he will not support the actions being requested by staff, but
will abstain from voting rather than voting against business.
Mr. Sowder stated, although he lS an advocate of the
Cloverleaf Mall revitalization, in his opinion, the current
Board should not vote on the rezoning of this property. He
further stated the citizens wanted different decision makers
to decide on issues of major consequence, indicating that he
sees the revitalization of this property as one of the major
issues impacting Chesterfield County.
Mr. Sowder then made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey, for
the Board to defer consideration of agreements and financial
designations to purchase the ground lease at Cloverleaf Mall.
Mr. King expressed concerns that the Board is now dealing
with the ground lease after the fact, indicating that this
issue should have been taken care of as part of the original
package. He stated this would not have been acceptable in
private business and expressed concerns relative to the waste
of taxpayers' money as a result of what was, in his opinion,
bad advice from staff.
Mr. Micas stated, if the Board defers this issue, this
agreement will expire by its terms, but the Board may wish to
direct staff to continue negotiating with the developer for
the purchase of Cloverleaf Mall. He further stated, if the
Board defers this issue, it would be appropriate to defer it
until January 9, 2008.
Mr. Sowder clarified that his motion included directing staff
to continue negotiations with the developer.
Mr. Warren stated the new Board would need to be briefed on
this issue before being able to make a decision. He further
stated staff should communicate with the developer concerning
11001
~:
the Board's decision not to approve the agreement at this
time.
Mr. Miller stated the new Board could defer this item to a
later date if further study was needed.
Mr. Miller then called for a vote on the motion of Mr.
Sowder, seconded by Mrs. Humphrey I for the Board to defer
consideration of agreements and financial designations to
purchase the ground lease at Cloverleaf Mall and to direct
staff to continue negotiations with the developer for the
purchase of Cloverleaf Mall. ~

15.A. TO CONSIDER PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO COUNTY CODE
SECTIONS 19-65 AND 19-124 RELATING TO THE OPERATIONS
OF MOTORCYCLES, ATVS AND GO-CARTS ON AGRICULTURAL AND
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
Senior Zoning Inspector Ted Barclay stated the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed ordinance
with a modification to add the word "improved" in front of
the word "path." He further stated this ordinance will
regulate creation of tracks and paths, but will not regulate
the operation of motorcycles, go-carts, and ATVS on
residential property, provided there are no physical
improvements, such as lights, tracks, or pavement. He stated
the ordinance would prohibi t the creation of a track wi thin
1,000 feet of residential property on agricultural zoned
property. He provided a photo and video-clip of a motorcycle
track on agricultural property located behind a neighborhood
off of Harrowgate Road.
Mr. King stated this ordinance does not prohibit anyone
riding a motorcycle or go-cart on residential property,
is strictly about improved tracks.
from
but
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Barclay stated if
staff determines that individuals have created a path or
track from continuous riding, this would be a violation of
the proposed ordinance.
In response to Mr. Sowder's question, Mr. Barclay stated the
track shown in the photo and video-clip would be allowed to
stay because it was created prior to approval of the proposed
ordinance.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Barclay stated he
has benchmarked with other localities, and no other locality
was aware of how to address the noise problems from this type
of vehicle. He further noted that the county already has a
noise ordinance, which is enforced by the Police Department.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Micas stated there
was not enough evidence to determine the impact of dust from
this type of activity on medical conditions, indicating that
this would be difficult to determine because of the
intermittent use.
Mr. King stated residents should not be allowed to build a
track 25 feet from their neighbor's bedroom.
Mr. Miller called for public comment.

11/14/07
Ms. Renee Eldred, a resident of the Bensley community, stated
her children could create a track within half a day in their
back yard, indicating that the proposed ordinance is not
going to work. She further stated takinq away the rights of
the existing residents who ride go-carts in their backyards
is wrong.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Ms. Eldred stated it
comes down to being good neighbors, and this is where all the
problems begin.

Mr. King stated there has to be some mechanism to protect the
rights of those people who have made investments in their
property. He further the ordinance wi 11 prohibi t someone
from creating a racetrack within 25 feet of residential
property.
Ms. Samantha Mentor expressed concern~3 that the current
proposal will not work, indicating it is not fair to the
children who enj oy this acti vi ty in lieu of doing drugs or
getting into trouble. She stated a solution, which is
balanced for all residents, should be considered.
There being no one else to address the issue, the public
hearing was closed.

lS . B. TO CONSIDER PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO PLANNING
DEPARTMENT SUBDIVISION REVIEW FEES
Mr. Glenn Larson, Assistant Director of Planning, stated this
date and time has been advertised for a public hearing for
the Board to consider proposed adjustments to Planning
Department Subdivision Review fees. He further stated staff
recommends a fee adjustment that would bring subdivision fee
revenues to the county's BO percent cost "coverage" target.
He stated the Planning Commission, as it has done with past
fee adjustment proposals, established a commi ttee to assist
in their review. He further stated the committee suggested
to staff an alternative fee proposal that would only cover
the increased cost of the two new subdivision review
positions approved as part of the county's FY2007-08 budget,
and staff projects that this alternative would generate fee
revenues that would cover approximately 63 percent of
projected subdivision review costs for the remainder of
FY2007-08. He stated the Planning Commission recommended
that the Board adopt Planning Department subdivision fee
adjustments, as suggested by the Subdivision Fee Committee.
Mr. Miller called for public comment.
Mr. Tyler Craddock, representing the Homebuilders Association
of Richmond, stated he supports the proposal of the
Subdivision Fee Review Committee and the Planning Commission.
There being no on one else to address the issue, the public
hearing was closed.
In response to Mr. Sowder's question, Mr. Larson stated
substantial changes to subdivision review fees were last made
in FY2004.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, Mr. Larson stated if no
adjustments are made, 45 percent of the cost of subdivision
reviews would be covered. He further stated the Planning
Commission recommends that 63% be covered, and staff
recommends 80% per county policy. He stated, in 2002, the
Board established a policy that BO% of staff costs be covered
through fees.
Mr. Miller expressed concerns relative to taxpayers
subsidizing the subdivision review process, indicating that
he does not understand why the county would not be prepared
to adopt a fee that would cover more than 63 percent of the
costs associated with the review process.
Mr. Miller then made a motion, seconded by
Board to adopt staff's proposed ordinance,
subdivision fee revenues to the county's
"coverage" target.
Mr. King, for the
which would bring
BO percent cost
Mr. Sowder suggested Planning Department fees should be
reviewed on an annual basis in the future, indicating that
reviewing them every three to four years is not practical.

the recommendations contained in the Illegal Immigration
Report and to articulate other potential options and opinions

Mr. Miller called for public comment.
Ms. Margaret Davis stated illegal immigration is not just a
county lssue, indicating that state and federal officials
should be addressing this issue, as well. She further stated
English is the American language and should be the only
language that is recognized. She stated stricter regulations
should be placed on rental property, and social services
should only be utilized by legal residents of Chesterfield
County.
...,....,
Ms. Mary Lou Marple stated she does not condone breaking the
law, but extenuating circumstances bring immigrants here.
She further stated there needs to be a workable solution for
the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants who have
become the foundation of the service industry, agriculture
and construction in this country. She suggested the
possibili ty of a guest worker visa, with criteria developed
to provide these workers an opportunity to become U.S.
citizens.
Mr. Carlos Ojedo stated immigrants contribute to the local
economy, and they pay federal, state and local taxes. He
further stated immigrants come here to work and provide for
their families, which they could not have done in their
homeland.

11/14/07
Ms. Katharine Anderson stated it has become a commonly
accepted misconception that most immigrants are Hispanic and
here illegally, and that they take jobs away from Americans,
do not pay taxes and do not want to learn English, when in
fact economic impact studies have found just the opposite to
be true. She further stated that the Council of Economics
Advisors report states that immigrants are a critical part of
the U. S. workforce and contribute to producti vi ty, growth,
and technol09Y advancement. She requested that the Board
defer any vote in response to the report presented on
September 26, 2007 and explore the costs associated with
illegal immigTants.

private sector.
John Kwapisz, representing the Virginia Immigration Reform
Political Action Committee (VIRPAC), stated VIRPAC welcomes
all legal immigrants that have respected our laws and who
desire to become a part of our nation, state and community.
He further stated the primary cost of immigrants is, in fact,
at the state and local level. He further stated the Board
has a number of proposals to explore.
Ms. Dorothy Bedard stated the economies of individual states
and the United States as a whole benefit from immigration.
<_/
Ms. Karen Ojeda stated everyone has dreams and hopes,
regardless of whether they are immigrants or American-born.
She further stated the immigrants want to be a part of the
American dream and to contribute to th3 prosperi ty of this
country.
Mr. Thomas Clearly stated everyone should live in peace and
help one another. He further stated that no one should be
denied privileges or responsibilities. He requested that the
Board take no actions related to illegal immigration.
Mr. Gerald Sakats stated compliance with the law is
everyone's responsibility, indicating that the county should
not eliminate proper requirements and allow people to become
a burden to society.
Mr. Fidel Rubio stated immigration is one of the most
important social issues facing our count.:ry today. He further
stated immigration impacts every community in the nation. He
stated he supports a comprehensive immigration reform.

Mr. Horecto Harris stated it would be better to have a
commission of people who are interested in this issue come to
the Board and provide more information. He further stated
the immigrants are no different then anyone else; they pay
taxes and learn to speak English.
Ms. Carmen Williams stated the county should not waste time
and resources on illegal immigration because this is a
07-1066

federal issue. She further stated the immigrants are willing
to learn English.
Ms. Julia Torres Barden stated she would like to see from
Chesterfield County be one of the first counties in the
United States to think about diplomacy versus discipline,
indicating that perhaps a multi-cultural advisory commission
could assist with the challenges.
Mr. Michel Zajur stated the Board should be proactive towards
this problem. He stated Hispanics are working in every
industry and fueling the economy in Chesterfield and the
Metro Richmond area.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Zajur stated
universities and communities want to be more diverse and to
build a creative economy, with different ide's and
individuals who can speak multiple languages. He further
stated he would work with the county in anyway possible
regarding this issue.
Ms. Judy Meeks stated there is a great misunderstanding about
those who are against illegal immigration. She further
stated she is against anyone breaking the law by coming into
this country undocumented.
Mr. Ken Miller stated there has been no effort to offset the
cost of providing services to undocumented immigrants with
the benefit of tax revenue collected from these irmnigrants.
He further stated he is surprised that the Board would
consider acting on items that might negatively affect the
lives of the immigrants without fully knowing the future
impact or posi ti ve benefits the immigrants provide to the
county.
Mr. Kendrick Hall appealed to Mr. Warren to defer the
and let the new Board study it further. He stated the

Mr. Rolando Molina stated illegal immigration is a federal
issue and should not be addressed on the local level. He
further stated it is difficult for someone who comes here
from another country to learn to speak English.
Ms. Marilyn Breslow stated much emphasis has been put on the
cost of immigration, and it appears that the study only
looked at costs and not benefits. She further stated there
are many studies that show the net gain from immigration.
She noted that this country has been built on immigrant
labor.

Ms. Jen Hellrung stated this issue is all about resources,
and everyone knows the county has limited resources. She

going to have adequate resources, we must do things to
discourage people from residing here illegally.

Ms. Claudia Garay pleaded with the Board to let the
immigrants be a part of Chesterfield County.
Ms. Nancy Finch suggested that some type of group be created
to study this issue so that the county does not take action
that would be regretted.
Ms. Rebeca Ar:'ias stated she supports immigration, whether it
is illegal or legal. She further stated if everyone had the
chance to be legal, everyone would be willing to pay the
price. She stated that if illegal immigrants are sent back
to Mexico, a lot of jobs will be empty.

Mr. John Kuzak stated the Hispanic culture is a very hard
working culture. He stated provided details of a proposal
designed to provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship
through a one-year transition plan.
Mr. Wayne PaJ~tin stated he does a lot of work that Americans
are not willing to do. He further stated he does not fault
the Hispanic culture for trying to make a better life for
themselves. He stated it is important for the Board to stand
for the immigrrants.
Mr. Buz Grossberg stated his business would not be where it
is today without the Hispanic community. He stated the only
difference between an illegal immigrant and an immigrant is
luck. He stated the immigrants are nE~eded to do the work
that the American people are not willing to do.
In response to Mr. King'S question, Mr. Grossberg stated he
does not believe that any of his workers are here illegally.

Mr. King stated, when the Chairman brought this issue
forward, it was not about the Hispanic community.
Mr. Bland Franklin stated the issue is not about immigrants;
it is about illegal immigrants. He further stated border
laws need to be enforced to maintain order and fairness. He
stated it is not fair to taxpayers to have to support illegal
immigrants.

housing laws. She stated it is important to remember that
not every overcrowded home is occupied by immigrants, legal
or otherwise.

15. E. TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE TAX RELIEF FOR THE
ELDERLY AND DISABLED ORDINANCE CONCERNING PROPERTY
OWNED AS TENANTS IN COMMON BY BOTE[ QUALIFYING AND NON-
QUALIFYING PERSONS
Mr. Micas stated the 2000 General Asserr~ly made a change in
local programs for tax relief for the elderly. He noted that
the amendment will only affect property that is held in
common by both qualifying and non-qualifying persons. He
further stated, of the 2,500 eligible residents, only two
will be affected by this change. He stated those two people
have been informed by the Commissioner of Revenue that, if
they change their method of ownership, they would continue
full eligibility.
In response to Mr. Miller's question, IJIr. Micas stated that
some localities were denying tax relief if one of the members
of the couple were non-qualifying. He further stated
Chesterfield County gave full tax relief if one of the
persons qualified.
