I am here today representing a group of concerned citizens from Chesterbrook Farms subdivision, Chesterfield County. We are concerned with the duties, responsibilities and policies of the building inspector's office. Perhaps the best way to explain our concern is to use my situation as an example. In July of 1973 we moved into our new home. And as seems to be the natural course of things, there were many items left to be done, both minor and major. In October, 1973, I called the building inspector's office to have~- our fireplace inspected before using it. Upon inquiry, I discovered that the house had never had a final inspection so I asked for one. We were then told that we were living in the~house illegally as all new homes have to have a final inspection and a certificate of occupancy issued before the home can be occupied. We were assured that the county would do everything possible to work with us and we would not be required to move out. We were not aware of such a thing as a certificate of occupancy until this time. This is the responsibility of the builder and building inspector. Mr. ~lano came out the following day and after going over the house~ stated that there were several code violations. The next day, ~. Malano and Mr. May returned with our builder to show him what the violations were and what needed to be corrected. He was given three weeks to get the work dore, One of the major 'violations was that there was a leak under the baseboard in our fifth bedroom. Every time it rains the carpet is soaked. After a hard rain, the entire room is wet and the water has spread to the hallway. Needless to say, we cannot use the room, Apparently, the water is coming in from the outside wall or foundation. Therefore it is natural to assume that something was 'not done properly when the house was being constructed. On December 3, 1973, Mr. Mumma and Mr. Malano returned with our builder. This time to affirm the fact that the leak had not been fixed, Mr. Mumma assured us at that time that the leak should be fixed by Christmas. On J~nuary 8, 1974, I called Mr. Mu~ma and asked if they were going to get the builder to fix the leak. He then stated that 5he leak did not seem to be a direct violation of the code and the builder had said that he would not correct the problem and that there was nothing the building inspector's office could do. In any event, it was no longer considered a serious problem, ~is brings up the question of whether or not a home is supposed to be partly inhabitable or entirely inhabitable, Please bear in mind that the room being discussed is a bedroom or was built for that purpose. Would any of you want a room in your home that had water coming in in great quantities when it rains which makes the room unlivable, I sincerely doubt it. Attempts to correct the problem are as follows: A portion of the drop siding at the area where water is coming in was cut off and that portion bricked up. This was done in November, 1973. January 15, 1974, the drain tile around the house was extended. The drain tile around the house was draining properly to begin with according to the building inspectors, so -this still does not solve 'the problem. The room continues to get wet. it wo,~ld seem feasible that to be sure of where the water is coming from precisely, the ground should be dug out ~ll the way down, at least to floor level to where the water is visible inside the house. The building inspector says he does no'b have the authority to have this done or to see that it is done. Not only is the room unlivable, but the carpet is being ruined and severe damage may be done to the walls that is not yet visible. It should also be considered that if the situation is allowed to continue, the entire lower level of our home may end up wet and unlivable and damage done to the remaining lower level. We would like to know why the wa'her leak was a violation in October, but in January it isn't. This home was built when the previous building code-Volume II, Chapter 14-Buildings-was in existance, the one prior to the statewide code now being used. The code may not state directly that such a leak is a direct violation, but surely the fact that the leak is there and has been for several months, would indicate that the house was not constructed and waterproofed properly. Our particular problem in this situation is unique in this subdivision. However, other circumstances or not. Upon inquiry, several other homeowners in Chesterbrook Farms, called to see if their homes had had final inspections. The result, some had and some hadn't. When the inspections were made, some homes passed and some homes did not. All the homeowners have been in their homes three to seven months. Naturally, certificates of occupancy have not been issued since the homes had not had final inspections and passed. According to the building code, this is a direct violation. Why then were we, the homeowners, told our homes were ready for occupancy, and allowed to December 6, 1973 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Board of Supervisors and County Administrator M. C. Ritz, Director of Planning Residential and Utility Amendments to Zoning Ordinance After the last Planning Commission meeting on the above amendments we sent you a memorandum dated November 27, 1973. Please disregard that memorandum. The errors were different than then noted. We accidentally collated two old sets of amendments with some of the last changes made by the Commission. The attached are the amendments recommended by them. Below are amendments we request to their reoommended amendments; Section Table of Contents 17-1 (1) 4-5 (5)) 6-5 (5)) 9-5 (5)) 24-4 (1) Amendment add "Article 3-12 Residential Lots Without Minimum Area or Width" Substitute "R-40" for "R-i" Change "January 1, 1974" to "~y 1, 1974" After "belt courses," add "ohimneys, canopies," 24.2-3 Substitute "R-40" for "R-i" move in. In one instance, the builder called for a final inspection in Oc%ober~ three months after the homeowner had been living in his home, and the inspection was not made until this month when the homeowner discovered this fact and called for on~ himself. According to ~he.building inspector's office, they were aware that these homes had not had final inspections and were intentionally holding off on them. We want to know why. The purpose behind this reasoning. As you can see it is not a singular case. It is a serious and wide- spread problem and may be a general practice for the entire county, rather than a unique one for Chesterbrook Farms. Since the building inspector's office issues building permits, why then don't they have some procedure to follow up on construction at certain intervals. Granted the office is greatly understaffed for the area they have qo cover. However, if they aren'~ going %o follow up on construction and have inspections themselves wi%hour the builder or home- owner calling for one, what is the purpose of having a building code %o begin with. Even more important, having found that a particular section of the code has been violated, if they don't have the authority ~o enforce the building code, it is not effective and our taxes going towards this office are for nil. It seems that issuing building permits is but a small part of what the department is intended. Why have a building code if it is too va~ue to be enforced and is not effective and pro~ective of every citizen. These are the policies we question and are concerned with. It is answers to these questions that we seek. Hopefully, you the Board of Supervisors can see the need and will take immediate action. If these policies of the building inspector's office are the rule farther khan the exception, something should be done to rectify the situation. Suc~ action or non-action should and will not be condoned 'by the public and t~<-payers off.this county. As of this date, the leak in our home has still not been fixed. Water continues to saturate the carpet and no £urther action has been taken by the building inspector's office. All attempts on our part to correct the problem have not been successful. The board's action to not issue any more building permits to contractors until the subdivisions meet certain standards was a fine move. However, that ac%ion in no way helps the individual who is already in his new home and has been for several months. We are well aware of the fact that the building code now in use does not affect our homes since they were constructed prior to September 1, 1973. However, the previous code does affect us direct!y, even though it is obsolete, and continues to do so as long as we have problems concerning the construction of our homes. And to have the building inspector's office to be so lenient in their enforcement, only magnifies our concern to even a greater extent. My husband and I are paying real estate taxes on our home. This tax is computed partly on the number of rooms in a home. Why should we pay taxes on a bedroom that cannot be used because the room is saturated with water. This Should be another point of interest to the board. I would hope the board recognizes the severity of my particular problem and will seek a satisfactory and just solution. I invite each and every member of the board to come out and see my situation first hand. As for the current and previous practices of the building inspector's office, we, the citizens of Chesterbrook Farms, wish to see such practices as have ~,~ous!y been stated brought to an end. ~ the first page of the prior building code, it states that the state law authorizes boards 'of supervisors of counties to adopt such raeasures as they deem expedient to secure and promote the health, safety and general welfare of 'the inhabitants of their counties. T~ ~ ~s this fact and truth that we are seeking. Although the particular problem of every homeowner regarding their new home may be a minor one, if i'~ is a violation of the ~uitding code, and affects the citizen's health, safety or general welfare, it is important and should be given proper attention. As citizens of Chesterfield County, we will do everything in our power to accomplish this end, and to help the board of supervisors come to a speedy and jus~ solution. Several officials and agencies have been contacted regarding this matter, and all s_re agreed that it should be handled by the local govern- men~ if possible. I appreciate the time you have given me and hope you will see the. need for action in this situation and will take the necessary steps to correct the ma~ter. If it pleases the board, I would like to give you a copy of 2his presentation, Perhaps it will be of some aid to you. Attached is a list of deficiencies in my individual situation. Thank you.

The sun deck, outside steps and rails have to be stained. 2. ~ere is still calking and trim work to be done on the outside of the house. One storm door was not put up properly and is coming apart. We were suooosed to have a cabinet for the sink in the second bathroom. The shoe moulding in two rooms and entrance foyer has never been varnished. ~ ~ T~e driveway still has to be paved. A section of the threshold strip for the front door has never been put down. ~,~ We have extremely large cracks in our hardwood floors because it was not laid properly. These need to be fixed as they will cut your feet when you walk across the floor if you don't have shoes on. There are bubbles in the hardwood floors 'where the floors were not finished properly. 10. When it rains, water comes in under one of our back doors, leaving.a puddle on the floor. 11. Water is coming in under the baseboard in our fifth bedroom. Apparently either through the outside wall or foundation. 12. In every room on both sides of the hallway upstairs, the walls are separating from the ceiling, and there are large cracks.- 13. The brick, neither outside the house nor the fireplace has ever been cleaned. 14. Several brick on the front of the house have to be replaced because there was very little mortar used when it was laid and a few brick are so loose you can just about remove them. · ~ 15. One of the brick columns on the front of the house has to be straightened or relaid because it is terribly crooked and uneven. 16. Our heating unit is not working properly. The two front bedrooms stay cold no matter how many vents we close off in the other rooms of the house. Items 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are major items that need to be done or corrected. Item ll is a very serious problem and may be causing severe damage to the walls that we carmot~see, as the room is either damp or wet at all times.

Still another precaution is used when layh~g hhe floor. A wedge-shapc~ board which has been well oiled is placed be- tween the wall and the floor concrete. When the concrete has set and dried, this wedge is ~:emoved and the space filled with ~,hot tar or asphalt to prevent grotmd water seepage up tJ~rough the joint between the floor slab and the wall. · cut 1o fii Plastic, workable mortar m/x~thoroughl¥ mb~! to r~luce amount of ~ater n~eded---is e¢~ont/al, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY Am TERMINAL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS CONTRACTOR BASE BID ALT.

To date there is over half of a new han~ar spoken for, with many other inquires not written down. There are four peo~ already renting space in the large Tee hangars waiting for an opening for a small hangar. Based on these facts, I would like to also recommend to the Board of Supervisors they approve the advertising for bid of a twenty unit Tee hangar. TSP/bJs Respectfully submitted, Thomas S. Page Airport Manager Chesterfield County Airport cc: Mr. C. G. Manuel MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Michael C. Ritz, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Variance request cf ~'~Boston /~ In Bermuda District Mr. Boston requests a variance to build on a lot fronting on a public road for less than 100 feet. Mr. Boston was advised by me to employ a surveyor and request the surveyor to see me to establish a one lot subdivision for Planning Commission approval. Mr. Boston employed Mr. Townes who prepared a plat without contacting this office and submitted the plat for County Planning Commission approval. County Planning Commission approved the subdivision subject to dedication of 30 feet from the centerline of Point of Rocks Road. Mr. Boston does not want to deicate the right-of-way and if he does, he must add more land to the lot re- quiring more survey costs. To complicate things further the Swearingen Company has a $500.00 deposit from Mr. Boston which they refuse to return because they say Mr. Boston can get a permit. The lot is 99 feet wide on Point of Rocks Road and 176 feet deep (15,840 square feet). This lot is too small because the Sub- division Ordinance requires 150 feet width and 30,000 square feet if no subdivision plat exists and the Zoning Ordinance req~res 100 feet frontage and 20,000 square feet for'i.lots with wells and septic tanks. The man needs variances from both ordinances and has been waiting for a building permit since 9/17/73. I recommend approval of a variance in this instance because of the extreme situation unsolvable without considerable more time and expense to Mr. Boston. In my opinion the developer advised this man incorrectly and he has been advised of this opinion. cc: M.W.

Mr. Smith has contracted to buy a B acre tract from the Estate of Whank L. Wilson: Lucy W. Field and Mamie W. Rob~r- son (Parcel 18, 80 acres).

Poster, Tax Map Sec. 110 (I) part of parcel 45 In Dale Magisterial District Mr. Randall K. Foster requests a variance to build a dwelling on a parcel of land which does not have the required public road frontage. Mrs. Inez Strange, owner of this property, has agreed to convey 1.86 acres of par- cel 45 to Mr. Foster, and to dedicate a 50 ft. x 136 ft. parcel to Chesterfield County for use in extending the previously dedi- cated road to the southwest corner of the parcel Mr. Foster will purchase. The Health Department reports that the new parcel is suitable for the installation of a septic tank and well. Staff visited this site and found that the 50 ft. wide proposed road, as shown on the attached plats, has not yet been built. Staff determined that a similar variance was recently granted to Mr. William N. Anderson on parcel 60 which lies northwest of the new parcel. The subject parcel and adjacent property is occupied as shown on the attached tax map. If this variance is granted, we recommend that it be with the condition that Mrs. Strange, by deed of dedication, extend the existing road easement to the southwest corner of the parcel she will convey to Mr. Foster. This dedication would be with the understanding that the County will not bUild or maintain this right-of-way until it has been brought up to state standards by others. Also, Staff recommends that all future residential development of this parcel be subject to subdivision approval. December 7, 1973 Randall K. & Alease S. Foster 12148 Winfree Street A~t.

However, we prefer their vehicles over ~earse Ambulance Sales for the following reasons: Sutton and Clarke's vehicles have an all steel body and top with 1/4 inch. additional steel ribbing and 4 Inch bar reinforcements in the too. Mearse ~bulance Sales have a steel body with a FIBERGLASS top and MO reinforcements of any tyne. Sutton and Clarke offer custom made cabinets to our soecifications in the back. Hearse and Ambulance Sales have standard cabinets. Sutton and Clarke offers extra heavy duty tires and Hearse and ~A~mbulance Sales have regular van tires. Last but not lest, Sutton and Clarke offers a metal bench in the back and Hearse and B~butance Sales offers only a o].~ood bench.

The hazardous conditions created by' the incident required a major effort on the part of the Chesterfield County' Fire Department, both regular and volunteer units. The purpose of this letter is to commend the personnel involved [n the action and to express my' appreciation on behalf of the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike. Iwas most impressed with the efficiency' in which the operation was handled by' the fire fighting units. Special notice was taken of the promptness in which they' responded to the call, the planning and direction by' the fire chiefs, and above all, the courage displayed by' all personnel. It was indeed a rewarding experience to witness such a well trained and well equip- ped force in action, and this reflects on the sound management of the County' in providing the very' best of services for its residents. My' compliments to you and the fire fighters of Chesterfield County' on a job well done. Sincerely' yours, F. H.
