Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Bookman, Mrs. Girone and Mr. O'Neill.
Absent: Mr. Dodd.
Mr. Bookman stated he felt the Board should not consider
adoption of an ordinance relating to real estate tax exemption
for the elderly and permanently and totally disabled today
because it was being advertised for a public hearing on
December 10, 1980. He also inquired if the proposed ordinance
raised the .income limit for exemption to $13,000. Mr. Micas
stated this had been included in the proposed ordinance. On
motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mrs. Girone, the Board
deferred consideration of this matter until December 10,
1980.
Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Bookman, Mrs. Girone and Mr. O'Neill.
Absent: Mr. Dodd.
Mr. BOokman stated he felt the Board should consider an
appropriation of $25,000 and not $100,000 at this time for
the operation of the Airport and th'eh be presented with a
recommendation regarding the Avionics operation in 30 days.
Mr. Edmondson stated that the $71,O00 is a straight line
projection and that in the winter months there wi. Il probably
be a drop of 20% in revenues. He stated that they are
holding checks at this time that amount to $15,000 and that
there will be an additional deficit likely. Mr. Meiszer
suggested that the entire $100,000 be transferred at this
time to be used as needed to eliminate the need to return to
the Board with this item. Mr. Bookman suggested that since
there is a deficit of $15,000 at this time, a transfer of
$40,000 be made. Mrs. Girone inquired if the $11,000 would
be revenue coming to the County which was listed on a handout
prepared by Central Accounting. Mr. Edmondson stated that
this amount is revenue that will not occur as a result of
terminating Avionics but there was 'also a $29,000 amount in
expenses that would not occur if Avionics were discontinued.
Mr, EdmondsOn stated that the $72,000 on the handout included
depreciation, that ~he $24,225 is actual cash loss for
operation and the $14,000 is a cash deficit at this time.
On motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, the Board
transferred $40,000 from the General Fund Contingency account
to the Airport and further authorized the County AdminiStrator
to prepare a recommendation regarding the Avionics operation
for discussion and consideration in 30 days.
Ayes: Mr. Daniel, Mr. Bookman, Mrs. Girone and Mr. O'Neill
Absent: Mr. Dodd. · ·
Mr, Daniel stated he would also like to have a report prepared
which indicated what benefits were received directly or
indirectly by the Airport from the Avionics section.
80-529
Mri O'Neill stated that he, too, would like to see what is
in the budget and what the cost is today. He stated that
originally it was felt that this would be a benefit to the
Airport which'would bring in more customers and would be an
asset even if it did not actually make money. Mrs. Girone
stated she felt this matter was not handled correctly and
had been presented in a piecemeal fashion. Mr. Meiszer
indicated he had given the Board a memo in August, 1980
which indicated several items that could be accomplished
which would make the Airport more profitable. The Board
inquired if any of the items had been accomplished.. Mr.
Meiszer indicated they had not. It was generally agreed
that this matter should be discussed further in 30 days when
the recommendation was presented.
Mr. Bookman stated the Board had been discussing two items
when considering a vehicle policy which were: l) rising cost
and maintenance of vehicles and 2) the abuse. He stated
that the proposed policy would offset the cost but the abuse
would not be addressed. He stated he felt the Board had an
obligation to the public to address both matters. He
Stated that he felt new employees should not be given vehicles
unless it'was necessary for the completion of their job.
Mr. O'Neill stated he felt a small fee plus mileage would be
a policy that would be equitable to all. Mr. Bookman
stated he felt this was not exactly equitable because it
would be penalizing the person who lives the farthest away
from the Courthouse and suggested a motor pool be established,
Mrs. Girone stated she felt an employee Who drives his
vehicle a certain set number of miles on County business
should be given a County vehicle. Mr. O'Neill and Mr.
Bookman indicated they did not feel mileage could be used as
a criteria for this Policy. Mr. Bookman stated that a new
garage is being built and perhaps a motor pool could be
established at that time. Mr. Meiszer stated a central
motor pool is planned for the new garage.
Mr. O'Neill stated the question is whether or not the Board
wants to establish a vehicle policy and if so, then decide
on an equitable solution. Mrs. Girone stated she felt there
were too many County cars driven home.. She added that she
felt if a car could be justified for an employee, then they
should take it home and not pay any cost. She stated she.
felt the Board was not solving the real problem by imposing
costs.
Mr. O'Neill made a motion that ~his matter be tabled until
December 10, 1980. Mrs. Girone made a substitute motion
that the Board no~ charge employees for the use of County
vehicles, but that the County Administrator reevaluate and
eliminate through attrition those which should not be driven
home and that a motor pool be established. She stated that
she felt this matter could also be discussed at budget
preparation time. Mr. Daniel stated he would like a copy
of a list of those employees who drive their vehicles home.
Mr. Meiszer distributed a listing. He stated that this was
originally discussed because it was felt that gas was going
to rise above $1.50 per gallon and also that a motor pool
would not eliminate improper use. He added that the mileage
or fee was not to get at the abuse but to cut down expenses.
After further consideration, Mrs. Girone withdrew her motion.
Mr, Daniel inquired if a policy for collecting funds were
no~ established, would the County be able to absorb the
funds which were eliminated from the budget. Mr. Ramsey
stated he would have To ask each department ~o absorb their
share of those funds.
Mr. Daniel asked that the County Administrator prepare a
80-530

iO.D.
report addressing all issues discussed with the supporting
information, all of which should be sent to the Board prior
to the Board meeting. The Board discussed some of the employees
wh° w.ere driving County vehicles home according to the list
prepared. Mr. Meiszer stated he did not feel each vehicle
should be discussed individually but there should be a
policy established which would cover the entire County
fleet. Mr. O'Neill stated that the Board would like to have
a plan prepared which is cheapest for the County and also
equitable for the employees~
Mr. O'Neill restated his motion to defer further discussion
of this matter until December 10, 1980. Mrs. Girone seconded
the motion.

cont'act with the judicial system is critical for a youthful
offender.

Road and located directly across from its intersection with
Trout Lane. Tax Map 28-3 (1) parcels ~6 and 27 and part of
parcel 28 (Sheet 8).
Mr. Sowers was present. He stated that he has proffered
four conditions which he feels will address the concerns
of the area residents which relate to the buffer zone adjacent
to Chesterfield County school property, the design and square
footage of the townhouses, widening strips along Providence
Road and the density of the units per acre. Mr. Bookman
stated he had received 12-14 letters and had talked to a
member of the homeowners association and he felt these
proffered conditions wo.uld address their major concerns.
Mr. Keith Cheatham, representing the President and Board of
Directors of Providence Green, was present. He presented a
petition signed by 300 people who were concerned with the
drainage and traffic in the area and were opposed to this
request. He stated they were concerned that the drainage
would not be handled properly and would create additional
problems for the area; that additional traffic will use Newstead
Drive causin~ a new danger to the community and children;
that the identity of Providence Green.will be lost and added
that all residents in Providence Green are opposed. He
stated the already overcrowded school will not accommodate
additional children; that if this should be approved, they
would like a buffer between the two communities as is proposed
between the school and community. He added that they felt every
square foot of Chesterfield County should not be developed
and asphalted and they were opposed to any development of
the area,
Mr. Bookman indicated that the Board could not legally deny
zoning this area for single family dwellings and stated more
restrictions could be required for commercial development.
Mrs. Girone and Mr. Bookman indicated the names on the
petition were not all from the immediate area. Mr. Ben Therrell
stated the petition was signed at the Ukrop's Store and
those who frequent the store, signed if they were interested
in opposing this development. Mrs. Girone and Mr. Bookman
stated they recognized names from such areas as Surreywood,
Brookfield, Reams Road, Greenfield, etc,
Mrs. Girone inquired if the Providence Green owners would be
interested in having the civic association extended into the new
area. Mr. Cheath~m stated that maybe at some future date,
but not at this time.
Mr. Bookman stated that the road and drainage plans would
have to be approved by the County and the Highway Department
prior to construction beginning. He stated he was aware
that there had existed a drainage problem for several homes
when the paving was done behind the development, but since
the ditch had been constructed, he did not know of any
existing drainage problem. He added that be'realized the
people felt she~s of water would run off from the woods,
but that would have to be addressed and corrected.
Mr. Stan Lineback stated that the Highway Department was
using a drain pipe which was not large enough to handle water
where they are widening Providence Road'. Mr. Bookman stated
80-546
there were plans to improve Ruthers Road and the piping will
go under the road and handle this water. Mr. Lineback also
indicated his concern for the children being bused. Mr. Bookman
stated there are plans for redistricting which could
eliminate this busing and there could also be a sidewalk
constructed from A. M. Davis to this area. Mr. Lineback
stated that he was also concerned about the construction equipmen
that would be using Newstead or Providence Road traveling into
the area.
Mrs. Patricia Goodell stated that the residents of Providence
Green are proud of their area and they will not have any control
over how the new area is maintained. She stated that her home
was flooded and she did not want additional water coming
in the area since it had been corrected.
Mr. Buddy Sowers stated that he built Providence Green and that
he, too, is proud of it. He stated the drainage problems
are external and not caused internally. He stated
they would deal with any drainage problems which they created.
He stated that he knew of people in Providence Green who were
not opposed to this development and did not sign the petition.
He stated that they have proffered conditions regarding the
roadways to handle additional traffic and they would also proffer
the modification of Condition #1 as recommended by staff. He
stated that he did not feel it proper to have a buffer
between two identical zoning districts and that at some
point in time, the two may join to form a single area. He
stated he would be willing to leave a I0 ft. common area
around the development in a natural state.
Mr. Bookman stated he understood how the people felt because
Providence Green is a quality development but stated he felt
this would also be of the same quality. He stated that the
proffered conditions regarding drainage, square footage,
buffers, widening strips, etc. would provide the protection
they were looking for. He stated he did not feel the
traffic would present a problem and that this development
would be compatible to Providence Green. He stated he did
not feel the County could require a buffer between the two
areas. He sta~e'd that a fence might be needed at some
point. After further consideration of the matter, it was on
motion of Mr. Bookman, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, resolved
that this request be approved as recommended by the Planning
Commission and further the Board accepted the following
proffered conditions from the applicant:
