Ms. Curtin presented an update on various legislative

request to clarify issues related to vested rights was
not introduced. She stated that the county's request for
a Joint Legislative Audit Review Commission (JLARC) study
relative to increased Medicaid reimbursement rates for
community services boards did not come to fruition
because of decreased JLARC staffing. She further stated
that a bill was introduced relative to impact fees for
residential development, but was passed by indefinitely.
She stated that Senate Bill 643, which was approved by
both the Senate and House, will permit the Lucy Corr
Village to convert 16 assisted, living beds into nursing
beds which will facilitate the use of those beds and
improve the bottom line for the facility. She stated
that Senate Bill 433 relative to the Underground Utility
Damage Prevention Act has passed both the House and
Senate, and House Bill 1212 relative to manufactured
housing was continued to 2003 in committee. She noted
that the General Assembly also adopted a resolution
commending Mr. Eddie Heussler who attempted to rescue a
county citizen from a burning building. She stated that
a bill was introduced the day before the end of the
session and was approved by both the Senate and House,
which would allow localities to attach a fee on various
court cases to offset the cost ,of courtroom security.
Mrs. Humphrey requested that the Board be notified of any
correspondence or activity relative to House Bill 1212.
Discussion ensued relative to 'the legislature passing by
indefinitely the bill relative to impact fees for
residential development.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the Fire and Emergency Services
and Police Departments are searching for the availability
of federal funding for terrorist activities. She
requested that, now that the General Assembly session has

03/13/02
Mr. Ramsey stated that the Swift Creek Reservoir is at
its lowest level ever for this time of year. He
introduced Mr. Bryant to provide a brief update of the
drought situation in the county.
Mr. Bryant stated that staff is in the process of
developing some voluntary conservation measures for the
Board's consideration. He further stated that the
Appomattox River Water Authority has indicated that Lake
Chesdin is full and, therefore, no action is necessary to
reduce demand on the plant at this time. He stated that,
because Richmond, Henrico and Hanover are experiencing
the same difficulties, the conservation efforts will
hopefully be implemented on a regional basis. He further
stated that, if the weather continues to stay as dry as
it has been, it may be necessary to consider mandatory
restrictions on water use, and indicated that staff is
exploring how the restrictions can be phased in if they
become necessary.
When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated that the voluntary
conservation measures, such as odd/even days for car
washing and lawn watering, are scheduled for
implementation April 1, 2002.
When asked, Mr. Bryant stated that approximately 4.5
million gallons of water is being removed from Swift
Creek daily. He further stated that the Courthouse Tank
has been taken out of service for routine repairs and
service and indicated that after its return to service,
staff plans to further reduce the output from Swift
Creek.
Mr. Warren encouraged Mr. Bryant to communicate staff's
plans for transporting water from Lake Chesdin and the
City of Richmond to make up the difference for the Swift
Creek deficiency.
Mr. Ramsey stated that the county is fortunate to have
three major water supplies, and noted that the
Appomattox Water Authority is in better shape at this
time than any water system in Central Virginia. He
further stated that reduced production at Swift Creek
will result in the transfer of additional water from
Appomattox, and indicated that this will be the
determining factor of the conservation efforts, rather
than the supply issue.
When asked, Mr. Ramsey stated that the county has the
ability to interconnect any part of the system from any
one of the three water supplies.

6. WORK SESSIONS
o FY2003 PROPOSED BUDGET iNCLUDIN~ PRESENTATIONS FROM THE
MANAGEMENT SERVICES DIVISION AND CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS
Ms. Dickson presented an overview of the County
Administrator's proposed FY2003 expenditure budget. She
reviewed percentage of increase in. demand for services from
FYgl through FY2001; FY2000 expenditures per capita; and
FY2001 employees per 1,000 population. She then reviewed the
proposed FY2003 tax rates and stated that the advertisement
of the real estate tax rate at $1.08 would enable the Board
to adopt $1.08 or something lower on April 10, 2002. She
noted that no other tax rates are proposed to change in the
upcoming budget. She reviewed FY2002 adopted and FY2003
projected local taxes per capita. She stated that primary
considerations in preparation of the FY2003 budget included
continued funding of new facilities approved in the 1996 bond
referendum; attempting to address reductions in funding from
the state; placing priority in the areas of education, public
safety and human services; and maintaining commitment to
employees by providing for a three percent merit increase and
50 percent of the healthcare rate increase. She further
stated that the proposed FY2003 budget totals $798,903,800
and noted that the general fund represents 35.3 percent of
the total budget and the school budget represents 51.8
percent. She reviewed general fund[ FY2003 projected revenues
versus FY2002 adopted revenues and FY2003 estimated
expenditures versus FY2002 adopted expenditures.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the proposed increase in
transfer to schools totals approximately $12.9 million in
local new funding. She then reviewed budget initiatives
which support the strategic goal of being exemplary stewards
of the public trust, including adhering to financial
objectives established by the Board; maintaining the county's
AAA bond rating; supporting a six-year $572.7 million
proposed Capital Improvement Program which completes projects
approved in the November 1996 bond referendum and begins
02- 166
establishing projects for the next referendum; and funding
the Reserve for Future Capital Projects at five percent of
projected general governmental expenditures, thereby reducing
dependence on debt. She reviewed budget initiatives relative
to the strategic goal of being the safest and most secure
community of its size in the USA, including funding 18
Firefighter positions and providing operating expenses for
the new Winterpock Fire Station; providing for enhanced
Emergency Medical Services including a quick response
vehicle, additional firefighters at three stations (nine
firefighters) and two medflight paramedics; providing for
enhanced compensation plans in Police, Fire and Sheriff
Departments; providing for final increase to local match for
Federal Law Enforcement Grants for Police Officers salaries;
providing funds for opening of new/expanded Juvenile

safety departments; adding funds for overtime costs and
ongoing maintenance costs for security system at the Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court in the Sheriff's Department;
providing funds to cover the cost of higher regional jail per
diems due to increasing prisoner counts; replacing grant
funds lost in order to continue the Domestic Violence
Prosecutor in the Commonwealth Attorney's office; providing
additional funds to conduct background checks for new county
employees and county volunteers working with youth; and
providing full year operating funds for the new Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court Building. She then reviewed budget
initiatives which support the strategic goal of being the
employer of choice including providing for a three percent
performance-based merit increase for eligible employees;
covering 50 percent of the health care increases for
employees; continuing career development programs in public
safety; a three-year Technology Improvement Program with
commitment in FY2003 for countywide technology initiatives;
committing additional funds for Chesterfield University,
improving access to training opportunities and providing
career enhancement opportunities for employees; and
continuing the county's commitment to aging government
facilities. She reviewed budget initiatives relative to the
strategic goal of being acknowledged for its extraordinary
quality of life, including allocating approximately 69
percent of net property tax revenue to schools, and providing
an increase of approximately $13 million in local funds;
funding the operating costs of new park facilities and
programs and maintaining the annual capital equipment
replacement fund in Parks and Recreation; pro¥iding for the
expansion of the curbside recycling program to all single
family homes; committing funds to various Human Services
areas; continuing the maintenance of existing residential
BMP's countywide; providing for an environmental program to
assist in protecting the community and proactively responding
to environmental issues; and continuing the tax relief for
the elderly program.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the county is not
operating its tax relief for the elderly program at the
maximums allowed by the state. She further stated that if
the county were to operate with the allowable maximums, the
program would cost an additional $3 million to implement.
She then reviewed initiatives to support the strategic goal
of being exemplary stewards of the public trust, including
continuing implementation of the Chesterfield Development
Information System; including funds for Economic Development
opportunities; and continuing targeted tax reductions such as
enterprise zone and Business and Professional Occupational
License Tax reductions. She stated that the proposed FY2003
budget continues the county's commitment to regional
organizations, but noted there is an approximately 20 percent
reduction in support of those organizations.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that she will provide the
Board members with information relative to state funding of
02- 167
non-profit organizations who also receive county funding
within a few days. She reviewed FY2003 General Fund sources
and FY2003 General Fund uses.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the decrease in debt
service represents deferral of two significant projects - a
new financial system and the local jail renovation. She
reviewed new positions and possilble FY2003 state budget
impacts. She the reviewed state budget reductions and the
county budget adjustments that had already been proposed to
address these reductions.
Discussion ensued relative to reduced state funding for
Libraries and Constitutional Officer's.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the budget reductions
from the state did not identify which specific positions
should be deleted.
Mr. Ramsey stated that detailed budgets will be provided to
the Constitutional Officers by the Compensation Board in May
2002.
Ms. Dickson reviewed state budget reductions where no county
budget adjustments are recommended, including Drug Court;
Substance Abuse Reduction Effort .(SABRE); Virginia Juvenile
Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA); Health Department;
Social Services; Mental Health/Mental Retardation/Substance
Abuse; Juvenile Detention Home; and Project Exile. She
provided a summary of budget adjustments including a $601,000
revenue adjustment; $463,000 in additional expenditure
adjustments; and $138,000 in possible total expenditure
adjustments. She noted that if the County Administrator's
planning fee proposal is not adopted and the Planning
Commission's proposal is adopted, an additional $153,000 in
revenue or expenditure adjustments would be necessary, for a
total of $291,000 in expenditure adjustments. She stated
that it may be necessary to utilize expected surplus from
fund balance and possibly hold some expenditures in abeyance
at the beginning of FY2003.
Mr. Ramsey stated that many of the state budget reductions
were anticipated in the preparation, of the budget. He stated
that, at this point, the budget is basically $300,000 out of
balance which he feels is actually good news considering the
pain involved in reaching that amount.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the FY2003 general fund
proposed budget represents a 5.6 percent increase over the
FY2002 adopted budget, and the total proposed FY2003 budget
represents a 4.3 percent increase over the FY2003 adopted
budget. She further stated that revenues and expenditures
have increased by $26.6 million. She stated that no new
programs are planned for the proposed budget.
Discussion ensued relative to additional revenue projected
for the Schools' budget.
When asked, Ms. Dickson stated that the School Board will
receive approximately $25 million in additional revenue and
indicated that the School's FY2003 budget is projected to
increase approximately seven percent. She reviewed priority
items after results of operations, includin~ addressing
potential state reductions in selected areas; Parks and
Recreation field restoration and maintenance; and books and
electronic resources in Libraries. She introduced Mr.
Stegmaier to make the next budget presentation.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES DIVISION
02- 168
03/~3/02
Mr. Stegmaier presented an overview of the proposed FY2003
budget for Management Services. He stated that the proposed
budget totals $72,240,200, representing approximately a five
percent increase from the adopted FY2002 budget, most of
which is in the area of courts and criminal justice
reflecting that public safety is a high priority for the
provision of county services. He reviewed FY2003 proposed
budgets for the Community Services area of Management
Services and noted that revenues generated at the County
Airport cover the cost of the operations. He then reviewed
the FY2003 proposed budgets for the Courts and Criminal
Justice area of Management Services and stated that resources
have been added to the Circuit Court Clerk's Office to
support Drug Court and the addition of judges last year. He
further stated that the proposed increase for the Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court is a result of operating
expenses related to moving into the new facility. He stated
that the major increase for all of the budgets in the area of
Courts and Criminal Justice is due to increased population at
Riverside Regional Jail.
Discussion ensued relative to the costs involved because of
the delay in the state moving its prisoners from the
Riverside Regional Jail facility.
Sheriff Williams came forward and stated that after a
prisoner is sentenced, the Circuit Court Clerk has 30 days to
notify the Department of Corrections that the prisoner has
been sentenced and is a state inmate. He further stated that
there have been delays in that area across the entire state
and indicated that, after notification, the state has 60 days
to get the prisoner out of the county's system. He stated
that the state reimburses the county $8.00 per day during
that time period and also reimburses $16.00 per day for
anything over 60 days. He further stated that delay in
paperwork appears to be an issue across the whole state and
indicated that the Liaison Committee to the Department of
Corrections will address the issue at its next meeting.
Mr. McHale suggested that the Sheriff work with the Circuit
Court Clerk's Office to improve the process of state
classification of prisoners.
Mr. Ramsey indicated that the issue is a workload issue, not
necessarily a process issue, and that the Clerk, with the
assistance of temporary personnel, is working on it. He
further noted that the Clerk's Office is understaffed by the
Compensation Board.
Mr. Stegmaier reviewed the FY2003 proposed budgets in the
financial and support areas of Management Services. He
stated that an energy management position has been added to
General Services - Administration, and indicated that the
position has already paid for itself by identifying
opportunities to save energy costs. He further stated that
the increase in Communications Maintenance is related to
bringing on the new Public Safety Communications System. He
reviewed strategic accomplishments of Management Services
departments in the areas of exemplary stewardship, customer
service, and being an employer of choice. He stated that
community involvement is encouraged for Management Services
employees, and indicated that inspired employees make the
Management Services team national leaders in each of their
respected areas.
Mr. Warren commended Mr. Stegmaier for the excellent
presentation and stated that he feels it could be presented
to business groups to show how county government is becoming
more like a business and operating towards efficiency.
02- 169
03/~3/02
Mr. Miller and Mrs. Humphrey also commended Mr. Stegmaier for
the excellent presentation.
Discussion ensued relative to the ]possibility of allowing the
Print Shop to provide services for outside customers.
Mr. Ramsey stated that there are legal issues involved with
providing services for outside organizations.
COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Mr. Davenport presented an overview of the Commonwealth
Attorney's proposed FY2003 budget. He expressed concerns
relative to state budget reductions for Project Exile. He
provided a comparison of the difference between the number of
courtrooms, judges and prosecutors in Chesterfield and
Henrico, and stated that the county does more with less
resources because it has a seasoned group of prosecutors who
can handle the continually growing dockets. He further
stated that a Juvenile Court Judge was added last year, but
not an additional prosecutor. He stated that the Project
Exile Prosecutor's caseload is growing, and indicated that
because of state budget reductions, it may be necessary to
return to the Board for additional funding for the Project
Exile Prosecutor and his secretary for the second half of the
fiscal year. He further stated that staff is attempting to
secure federal grants to assist with the funding of the
Project Exile Prosecutor. He stated that the Commonwealth
Attorney's Office is committed to being good stewards of the
public trust even with limited resources.
When asked, Mr. Davenport stated that the caseload is
increasing approximately seven percent annually. He further
stated that the addition of police officers has led to more
warrants and, therefore, more court cases.
Mrs. Humphrey expressed concerns 'that funding continue for
the domestic violence attorney.
Mr. Davenport stated that, with the assistance of the
Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, his office has been
able to reduce the amount of time between the arrest and
court date in domestic violence cases from 120 days to under
30 days.
Mr. Miller expressed appreciation to Mr. Davenport for his
presentation.
SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Sheriff Williams presented an overview of the proposed FY2003
budget for the Sheriff's Office. He stated that the
Sheriff's Office is not asking for any additional funding for
FY2003. He reviewed potential revenue from Senate Bill 406,
which allows a jail processing fee up to $25 for all inmates,
and Senate Bill 693, which authorizes an additional $5 for
each court case in the county.
Discussion ensued relative to Board action necessary to adopt
the fees for jail processing and additional court costs.
Sheriff Williams reviewed nationwide and statewide jail
populations, as well as local jail populations. He stated
that the increased populations are due to additional police
officers and, therefore, more arrests. He reviewed the
Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission
(VLEPSC) accreditation efforts, stating that the
accreditation is approximately 75 percent complete and
indicated that the target for completion is January 1, 2003.
02- 170
03/13/02
He stated that, once accredited, Chesterfield County will
join Fairfax County as the only jurisdictions in the
Commonwealth with both an accredited police department and
sheriff's office. He reviewed initiatives relative to
strategic goal priorities, and also reviewed major issues,
including courthouse security and the substantial accord
process and current site plan for replacement of the local
jail.
Mr. Miller thanked Sheriff Williams for addressing the
Branches Trace citizens' concerns relative to construction of
the new jail.

02SN0183
In Dale Magisterial District, DELISA WANDA CURTIS requests
Conditional Use and amendment of zoning district map to
permit a family day care home in a Residential (R-7)
District. 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 1.0 to 2.5 units per acre. This request
lies on 0.2 acre and is known as 8919 Leafycreek Drive. Tax
ID 775-668-7889 (Sheet 17}.
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 02SN0183 and stated
that the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval
subject to conditions.
Ms. DeLisa Wanda Curtis stated that the recommendation is
acceptable.
Mr. Miller called for the public hearing.
Ms. Marsha Armstrong, who owns the home at 8918 Leafycreek
Drive, stated that she feels 12 children are too many to be
permitted in the applicant's home. She also expressed
concerns relative to safety of the children because of two
large Rottweiller dogs belonging to an adjacent neighbor of
the applicant that are not well controlled.
When asked, Ms. Curtis stated that she currently provides day
care for three children and indicated that she has been
informed by the state, if she uses her third bedroom, she
would have a capacity for twelve children.
02- 182
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the state has standards
for internal square footage depending on the number of
children cared for. He further stated that the Board has the
ability, through conditions, to provide limitations more
restrictive than twelve. He stated that there was no
opposition at the Planning Commission meeting and, therefore,
no discussion relative to limitations.
Ms. Curtis stated that her property currently has four-foot
wire fencing and indicated that she plans to erect a six-foot
wooden fence on the side of the property facing the dogs.
She further stated that she has not had problems with the
dogs.
Mr. Miller stated that he is not comfortable approving the
case without further study of the issues raised.
On motion of Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board
deferred Case 02SN0183 until May 22, 2002.
Ayes: Miller, Warren, Barber, Humphrey and McHale.
Nays: None.
02SN0198
In Matoaca Magisterial District, M3~IANNE YAKELEWICZ requests
a permit to park a manufactured home in a Residential (R-7)
District and amendment of zoning district map. The density
of this proposal is approximately 0.08 units per acre. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests the property is appropriate for
residential use of 1 - 5 acre lots. This property is known
as 3810 Lakeview Road. Tax ID 794-623-5456 (Sheet 41).
Mr. Jacobson presented a summary of Case 02SN0198 and stated
that the Board approved a Conditional Use for a stock farm
for the subject property on August 22, 2001. He further
stated that, since that time, the property owner received a
Special Exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals to have a
mobile road repair business from the home. He stated that
because the Comprehensive Plan calls for residential
development, staff is recommending denial of the mobile home
permit and indicated that if the Board chooses to approve the
request, standard conditions have been made available in the
staff report.
Discussion ensued relative to the availability of sewer
service on the subject property.
Mr. Frederick Yakelewicz provided[ the Board members with
photographs of the manufactured home proposed for the subject
property. He stated that he has begun the process to rezone
the property from R-7 to Agricultural, and requested that the
Board approve the mobile home permit.
Mr. Miller called for the public hearing.
Mr. Brian Pearse stated that his mother owns English Village
Apartments in the City of Colonial Heights adjacent to the
subject property. He expressed concerns relative to the
impact of the proposal on the apartment complex's property
value. He stated that his mother also owns another tract of
land in the county and is considering expanding the apartment
complex into that area. He requested that the Board uphold
staff's recommendation and deny the request.
There being no one else to speak to the request, the public
hearing was closed.
Mrs. Humphrey stated that the property has never been
developed for R-7 and has been idle for many years. She
02- 183
03/3.3/02
further stated that the property cannot be served by sewer,
although the City of Colonial Heights has been approached on
numerous occasions relative to extending sewer to the area.
She stated that she usually does not support mobile homes in
residential areas and is concerned about potential state
legislation to allow by-right placement of mobiles in
residential districts. She further stated that the
applicants could wait for the rezoning of the subject
property to Agricultural and not have to go through the
process to request a mobile home permit. She stated that the
property is unique because of its location; is surrounded by
large parcels with other Agricultural uses; is designated on
the County's Comprehensive Plan for one to five acre lots;
and is not typical subdivision type development because sewer
will never be available on the property.
Mrs. Humphrey then made a motion, seconded by Mr. McHale, for
the Board to approve Case 02SN0198 subject to Conditions 1
through 4 and 6 through 8 in staff's Request Analysis.
Mr. Barber expressed concerns relative to the property owner
applying to the Board of Zoning Appeals for an additional use
after receiving a Conditional Use from the Board to permit a
stock farm.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Board of Zoning Appeals has the
ability to approve business activities on property where an
individual resides. He further stated that the Board of
Zoning Appeals has imposed conditions that would not allow
any maintenance of vehicles or storage of vehicles in need of
repair on the subject property.
When asked, Mr. Jacobson stated that the Board of Zoning
Appeals approved the special exception for two years and
imposed conditions which permit four vehicles on the subject
property that service vehicles that break down off of the
property; limit the hours of operation; prohibit group
assembly; limit the number of employees picking up and
returning equipment to nine; prohibit maintenance of
vehicles; impose a 50 foot buffer around the entire perimeter
of the property; and prohibit signs for the business use.
He further stated that, given the size of the parcel of land
and conditions imposed by the Board of Zoning Appeals, staff
does not anticipate any issues with the special exception.
He stated that staff's recommendation for denial of the
mobile home permit is based on land use of the R-7 property.
Discussion ensued relative to special exceptions granted by
the Board of Zoning Appeals and conditional uses granted by
the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Board can determine which uses
are considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals through the
Special Exception process and which uses are considered by
the Board of Supervisors through the Conditional Use process.
Mr. Micas clarified that Special Exceptions are legally
equivalent to Conditional Uses. He stated that, over the
years, the number of Special Exceptions has been chipped
away, and indicated that the Board could take every Special
Exception and turn it into a Conditional Use.
Mr. McHale stated that he will support the mobile home permit
because the applicant has begun the process to rezone the
property from Residential R-7 to Agricultural.
Ms. Beverly Rogers, Assistant Director of Planning, stated
that staff has had discussions with the property owners
relative to seeking Agricultural zoning. She further stated
that staff has advised Mr. and Mrs. Yakelewicz that, because
the long range plan calls for R-88 zoning, staff would not
02- 184
03/~3/02
support the rezoning request. She stated that the property
owners have not made an application to rezone the property.
Mr. Yakelewicz stated that he has contacted Planning staff as
well as an attorney, Mr. Oliver Rudy, relative to the
rezoning process, but has not submitted the application at
this time.
Mr. McHale stated that he would not approve the request for
rezoning to Agricultural unless the manufactured home on the
property looks exactly like the one in the photographs
provided by Mr. Yakelewicz, nor would he support continuation
of the mobile home permit when it expires in seven years.
Discussion ensued relative to the difference between modular
and manufactured housing.
Mr. Miller called for a vote on the motion made by Mrs.
Humphrey, seconded by Mr. McHale, for the Board to approve
Case 02SN0198 subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall be the owner and occupant of the
manufactured home.
Manufactured home permit shall be granted for a period
not to exceed seven (7) years from date of approval.
No lot or parcel may be rented or leased for use as a
manufactured home site nor shall any manufactured home
be used for rental property.
No additional permanent-type living space may be added
onto a manufactured home.
The manufactured home shall be placed on a permanent
foundation with masonry skirting.
6. The manufactured home shall be multi-sectional.
The manufactured home shall be placed on an individual
lot.

Ms. Rogers presented a summary of Case 02SN0170 and stated
that staff has recommended approval subject to the applicant
fully addressing the impact on capital facilities and
modification to Proffered Conditions 2 and 9. She noted that
the request complies with the Eastern Midlothian Area Plan
which generally designates the property for 2.51 to 4.0 units
per acre. She stated that the i~)act on roads and schools
has not been fully addressed and Proffered Conditions 2 and 9
relating to the number of dwelling units which must meet
certain criteria relative to square footage and the
02- 185
03/13/02
architectural treatment of dwelling units are not items that
staff typically addresses; therefore, enforcement will be
difficult and will increase administrative costs. She
further stated that the Planning Commission recommended
approval, indicating that the 14 lots would have a minimal
impact on roads and schools, and noted that the Proffered
Conditions relative to house size and architectural
requirements were provided to address neighborhood
concerns.
Mr. Jim Theobold, representing the applicant, stated that the
request represents classic infill development; is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan; and is supported by the
neighborhood association. He requested that the Board
approve the proposed development.
