portion of this evening’s meeting.
Harold Bannister (D17-286 thru D17-287), 1901 Fall Hill Avenue, presented copies
of a PowerPoint presentation requesting monitoring of the Rappahnnock Canal. The Fall
Hill Neighborhood requested that a plan be developed to monitor the canal for soil and water
quality, mosquito population and adverse aquatic plants. Secondly, they asked the City to
provide prolong monitoring of mosquito population for hazardous human illness. Thirdly,
they requested the City develop methods for controlling high concentration of duckweed or
other adverse aquatic plants in and on the Canal. Lastly, they asked the City to execute
mosquito monitoring within the month. Mr. Bannister also explained in his presentation why
they were making the request. (See D17-286 thru D17-287).
Jasee Law (D17-288), Maui resident, presented a photo showing the bench in front
of the Visitor Center and he requested the bench be replaced on the sidewalk in front of the
Visitor Center.
Johnny Mitchell (D17-289), 1515 Suttle Lane, King George, VA, 920 Caroline Street
(shop), said he’s had his store for 30 years. Mr. Mitchell spoke about the downtown parking
and stated that he would like to see the parking times changed from two hours to three hours.
He said that would be great for the downtown businesses and its customers. Mr. Mitchell
employed the Council to move to 3 hour parking. He also praised the Council for hiring City
Manager Baroody.
Kathleen Harrigan (D17-290), 1309 Payne Street, thanked the Council for their
service. She spoke on the Highlander Park project. She came to talk about the treatment
loads and she discussed how Hazel Run was one of the most degraded streams in all of the
Rappahannock River basins. Ms. Harrigan said any opportunity the City had to reduce run
19716
Regular Session 08/08/17
off it should be looked at and this project would be parallel to Hazel Run. Ms. Harrigan said
when you buy nutrient credits it does not necessarily fix the stream that it’s potentially
damaging so she suggested the Council ask the applicant to treat as much runoff as possible
on site to give the maximum benefit to the Rappahannock River.
Council Agenda Presented. The following item was presented to Council for
discussion.
7A. Canal – Vice-Mayor Withers
7B. Bench at Visitor Center – Councilor Frye
7C. Violence in the City – Councilor Frye
Canal – Vice-Mayor Withers asked staff to give an update and Public Works
Director King stated that the canal was a jewel for the City and he recognized the importance
of it. He assured the citizens that their concerns had not fallen on deaf ears. He explained
that this year the city had challenges with the canal. Earlier this year the water levels had to
be lowered for a police investigation and when they went to add water back in it was realized
that the pumps were not working properly. Mr. King said both pumps failed at the same time
and this caused an unpleasant situation.
Mr. King explained that last fall the City removed 260 cubic yards of debris and
duckweed from the canal and it provided some relief and during the winter they hired a tree
expert to remove downed limbs at a cost of $45,000. He said they also sprayed for invasive
vegetation in various areas of the canal. Mr. King said that staff had been directed to re-treat
for mosquitos from Dale Street to Fall Hill Avenue and they would continue to do that. He
also explained that the Health Department does not monitor mosquitos and that staff does
not have the expertise to trap and monitor mosquitos.
19717
Regular Session 08/08/17
Mr. King said they have set up a date with the Army Corp of Engineers on August 21
to show them what has happened to the canal and to impress upon them that the City wants
a healthier canal. He hopes to be able to work with the Army Corp of Engineers and explore
some options. They also plan to look at removing more limbs and trees, and to remove the
duckweed.
Mr. King informed the public that the Council made the Canal a Council priority and
staff had a list of task they plan to work on at the canal.
Vice-Mayor Withers asked if there were plans to get volunteers to help with a clean-
up and Ms. Devine said there was a clean-up on the river for September 9. Mr. Withers said
he was concerned with the mosquitos and asked that the mosquitos be addressed. Mr. King
said the staff could work on inserting larvicide to address the mosquitos.
Councilor Duffy said the canal was a great historical resource and it serves as a habitat
and he wanted to know the long term goal. He understood that the duckweed purified the
water and provided food for the ducks. He said he would like to have more thorough
discussions on the topic.
Bench at the Visitor Center – Councilor Frye informed Mr. Jasee Law that he
heard him and he would be looking into the bench in front of the Visitor Center.
Violence in the City – Councilor Frye reported on a shooting that occurred in
the City during Council’s summer break. He noted that more lights had been installed at the
park in order to make the park safer and to deter violence. Councilor Frye also reminded the
public of the gun giveback program.

have two structures that connect in the middle, there would be 303 parking spaces, 86,000
square feet of commercial space, 58,000 square feet for office, 9,200 for restaurant, and
18,000 square feet for retail. The project will have a total of 329 parking spaces but they were
only required to have 308 spaces. The proposal would provide parking spaces to the public at
no cost. There would be approximately 263 spaces for the public on nights and weekends and
103 spaces for the public during office hours. The City would contribute 100 percent of real
estate tax increment for 20 years to the developer.
Council had several questions on the project and Mr. Wack explained that the
financing was dependent upon approval of the Memorandum of Understanding. Mr.
Freehling addressed the question on the 20 year lease and stated that the City could decide
they do not want or need parking after the 20 years was up but they could extend for an
additional 10-20 years. The City would have the option to continue for up to 40 years. Vice-
Mayor Withers expressed concerns with paying the full 100% real estate reduction at the end
of 20 years. He said he would like there to be a reduction preset in the original agreement.
There was also concern with the amount of parking available. Councilor Devine was
concerned that the facility may become a self-parking facility for the offices and retail spaces

recommendations for initial implantation. The recommendations could be found in
document D17-314.
19724
Regular Session 08/08/17
Councilor Kelly said he would like to have more conversations before moving
forward with the recommendations. He said there was still information pending from the
survey taken by Main Street and the downtown merchants and he did not want to step ahead
of this information. Mr. Fawcett explained that the Parking Taskforce had a significant
discussion about two hour versus longer than two hour parking and they agreed with the staff
recommendation that if there would be longer than two hour parking restrictions on street
parking that it be done concurrently with the implementation of paid parking in October
2018. He also noted there was three hour parking downtown in the parking garage. Mr.
Fawcett said the staff was ready to move forward and that there had been numerous
discussion, public engagements and taskforce meetings. He said the first thing they plan to do
was change the two hour parking signs in the 500 and 600 block of William Street to read two
hour parking 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and they would begin changing
the others within the downtown.
Councilor Devine asked staff to take into consideration the special events and to keep
the two civic associations in the discussions when changing the signs out around the college
area. Mr. Fawcett said they have had significant discussions and he anticipate parking
restrictions for the resident parking would be Monday – Friday beginning at 7:00 or 8:00 a.m.
and ending near 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. and this would solve several of the issues on weekend
parking. He said it was his understand that the residents did not want 24 seven parking
restrictions and they wanted the restrictions when the conflicts were present.
Councilor Duffy clarified that not all of College Heights would be subject to the
parking restrictions. He said the Parking Taskforce would be maintained and they would be
available to address parking issues in the future. He said the most important things the
parking plan would do was shift the way the parking assets were used and the most
19725
Regular Session 08/08/17
convenient parking would no longer be free and the less convenient would be free and he
believes this would be helpful. This change would cause more turnover on the street parking.
Councilor Duffy believe the changes would strongly improve the parking.
Councilor Frye asked what the decision was on the courts employees and Mr. Fawcett
explained that he had seven meetings with court and City Hall employees but because of
security issues and other items no decision had been made on courts. Mr. Fawcett stated that
he would be meeting with Mr. Baroody on the topic and to inform him of what he had
learned.
Councilor Duffy made a motion to approve Resolution 17-68, accepting the Walker
Parking Action Plan and the City Staff Plan for initial implementation of the
recommendations contained in the Walker Report; motion was seconded by Vice-Mayor
Withers.
Vice-Mayor Withers said he would like to start with the extended two hour in the
downtown but he would like to keep the three hour parking as an option in the future.
The motion passed by the following recorded vote. Ayes (5). Councilors Greenlaw,
Withers, Devine, Duffy and Ellis and. Nays (2). Councilors Frye and Kelly.
Ordinance 17-21, Approved, First Read, Amending Proffers
Associated with Highlander Park at Hazel Run, Accepted in 2003 by
Ordinance 03-25 (D17-315 thru- D17-316). Mr. Craig highlighted the three topics
that were identified for further review and they included the Historic Preservation Plan,
effects on General Tax Revenue and ERI School access. He also discussed the
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance Compliance. See D17-316 for
more information.
19726
Regular Session 08/08/17
Staff addressed a question on the impact to the VCR Trail and Mr. Craig explained
that there would be minor impacts to the trail and that there would be a realignment needed.
He noted that with the reduction in the development would not be much of an impact. Mr.
Craig also explained some of the benefits stating that the developer would be replanting the
resource protection area (RPA) and the developer also committed to replanting an area
outside of the RPA.
Mr. Justin Trottle, Bowman consulting explained why they were only treating one
pound of the run off. He said it would be very expensive for a home owners association to
maintain. Senior Environmental Planner Saunders explained that the City had its own
requirements to meet for water runoff and he said this project was separate from those
requirements. He said that the City does not require developments to go above and beyond
what was required through the state stormwater management. Mr. Saunders said the project
would comply however it was treated and it would not affect the City’s obligation.
Mr. Braun reminded Council that the site currently had no stormwater management
and it was running unfiltered into Hazel Run and this development would improve what was
there.
Mr. Craig addressed concerns about ERI using Young Street to get in and out and he
said there had been lots of discussions with ERI and all impacts had been mitigated. He also
stated that if ERI were to expand, some of the same discussions would have to occur even if
this project was not there. The taper that the developer was proffering was not required but
the developer included it because they recognized ERI’s concerns.
Suspend the Rules. In order to meet past 11:00 p.m. Councilor Kelly made a
motion to suspend the rules; motion was seconded by Councilor Frye and passed by the
following recorded vote. Ayes (6). Councilors Greenlaw, Withers, Devine, Duffy, Ellis and

reduction for future developments. He also stated that the park service was not going to
oppose the project but they weren’t exactly happy with it either. He said they feel as though
this was the least intrusive project for this site. Mr. Kelly said the railroad bed was the most
important piece to them.

Amending Ordinance 14-06, to Rezone Approximately 0.806 Acres
of Land Adjacent to the Unbuilt Bakerfield Lane Right of Way, a Portion
of Former Bragg Hill Parcel B-5, Identified at GPIN 7870-00-3906, from
R-12 to R-2 (D17-317 thru D17-318). Staff explained that the purpose for the
rezoning was to rezone GPIN 7870-00-3906 from R-12 Residential to R-2 Residential. The
property approximately 0.806 acres fronts Wicklow Drive across from the Riverwalk
subdivision to the east and between Central Park townhomes fronting on Rann Court to the
south. The parcel was a flat, undeveloped open field. The Bragg Hill Corporation owns the
adjacent vacant 33.96 acres to the west. Mr. Craig explained that during a rezoning in 2014
this property was not identified with an independent GPIN and was included as part of the
GPIN 7860-90-3994 which rezoned R-1 to R-2. As a result of the discrepancy during the
rezoning process in 2014, City mapping and notification treated the property as part of the
GPIN 7860-90-3994 which was rezoned from R1 to R-2. In December 2013, the City began
issuing tax bills for the property referring to it as GPIN 7860-90-9711 and taxing it as R-12.
In February 2016, Mr. Glazebrook one of the two owners of the 0.806 acres parcel of
land scheduled a meeting with the Technical Review Committee to discuss townhomes on the
parcel under the R-12 designation. The Zoning Administrator later made the determination
that the property was actually zoned R-2. The Board of Zoning Appeals upheld the appeal
findings and said the property was zoned R-12.
Councilor Kelly asked the type of impact there would be on the entire tract if this
property was kept at R-12 and City Attorney said she didn’t see any connection with this
19729
Regular Session 08/08/17
property and the 33.96 acres it connects to. She said the property would not affect the other
property. The other property would remain R-2.
Mr. Kelly asked if the Zoning of the 0.806 acres parcel remain R-12 would the land
owners claim a vested right to develop the 33 acres under the R-12 zoning because of the
0.806 acres. Mr. Clark Leming said there was a vesting issue regarding the larger parcel but
said if this property stayed R-12 it would be removed from the 33 acre equation. Mr. Leming
said the property owner would not try to use the R-12 zoning for the 33 acres because they
were two separate vesting questions.
Councilor Kelly made a motion to withdraw and let the Board of Zoning Appeals
ruling stand; Councilor Devine seconded the motion.
City Attorney Dooley explained the pros and cons for moving forward with the
proposed ordinance and informed the Council of the proposed project that was up for review
by the Technical Review Committee.
The motion was approved by the following recorded vote. Ayes (7). Councilors
Greenlaw, Withers, Devine, Duffy, Ellis, Frye and Kelly. Nays (0).
Resolution 17-69, Approved, Authorizing the City Manager to
