Public Hearings (D17-399 thru D17-403). The regular session was recessed
in order to conduct the scheduled public hearings and immediately reconvened upon their
conclusion.
Citizen Comment. The following speakers participated in the citizen comment
portion of this evening’s meeting.
Nancy Moore – 314 Princess Anne Street, expressed her concern regarding the
impact of the Frederick Street Lofts. She said the project would overshadow the
neighborhood and the warehouse. She was in agreement with the Architectural Review
Board’s (ARB) decision on the scale and massing. She asked the Council to uphold their
decision.
19806
Regular Session 10/24/17
John Rose – 1125 Hanover Street, spoke in support of the Lofts at Frederick Street.
He said Mike Adams and Jon VanZandt would develop quality level homes within the flood
district as well as rescue the building. He asked the Council to reverse the ARB’s decision.
Charles McDaniel – 133 Caroline Street, said he has lived in the City 55 years and he
has been involved with historic preservation and he spoke in support of the Lofts at
Frederick Street. He said he also supports the ARB but said that did not mean they were
always right. He said he does not agree with their decision on this project because the
benefits of this project outweigh the objections. He said he appreciated the economic
benefits, the cultural benefits, the preservation benefits and the idea of having more activity
downtown and he urged Council’s support of this project.
Clint VanZandt – 705 Hanover Street, said he owns several properties in the City.
He suggested that the Council reverse the ARB’s decision because they were saving a 133 year
old building and they were to restore the multi-use activities in this neighborhood. He also
spoke about the developer’s impact on the City. He said they both had personal investments
in the City. He noted that they addressed neighborhood issues related to parking by
providing parking. Mr. VanZandt also commended the developers for wanting to repair old
rundown properties.
Jason Cohen – 1601 Sunken Road, stated that as a resident and business owner it
was great to see two qualified developers with a track record of success in projects that have
enhanced the community. He said he was confident that these developers would create a
beautiful project that would be in harmony with the surrounding area and be economically
viable for the long haul. Mr. Cohen also spoke about large areas of the City losing the HUB
zone and this project is located in a Hub Zone. He thanked and appreciated the hard work
of the ARB. He urged the Council to support this project.
19807
Regular Session 10/24/17
David Primmer – 1509 Caroline Street, thanked the Council for withdrawing the
bike path public hearing.
Beatrice Paolucci – 1500 Caroline Street, thanked the Council for withdrawing the
bike path public hearing.
Ms. Paolucci also spoke on the Frederick Street Lofts project. She said she has
watched the warehouse deteriorate for over 20 years. She said the warehouse was slated for
demolition years ago but the Cymrot Family saved it and Ms. Paolucci urged the Council to
do whatever it takes to save the historic warehouse.
Craig Vasey – 804 Marye Street, asked the Council to reconsider its plans for
changing the parking rules in College Heights and College Terrace. He said the plan to place
two hour parking meters on the east side of College Avenue makes it impossible for the
students and employees to park there. He said the City was giving too much power to the
complainants. Mr. Vasey said if this plan was put into place the street would be empty 75%
of the time. He suggested allowing residents to petition for a reserved space in front of their
homes. Mr. Vasey asked that this be sent back to the drawing board to find a better solution.
David Caprara (D17-404) - 17 Rosewood Drive, Coordinator of the Fredericksburg
Regional Kathmandu Sister City Committee. Mr. Caprara stated that they had just returned
from a two week trip to Nepal. He presented a resolution to the Council that was signed by
Mayor Greenlaw and Mayor Bidya Sunder Shakya of Kathmandu. Mr. Caprara thanked
Mayor Greenlaw who was dubbed “USA’s Mayor” throughout the Nepal press as they were
on the five city tour. He noted that Councilor Kelly shared similar challenges that both the
City of Fredericksburg and Nepal faced alike. Mr. Caprara recognized other members of the
delegation Purna Sherestha, Cathy Herndon, Sue Henderson, Cindy Kelly and Collette
19808
Regular Session 10/24/17
Caprara. Mr. Caprara listed the trip outcomes as follows: execution of Sister City
Proclamation signed by the two Mayors, strong participation by the US Ambassador, the
strengthening of the University of Mary Washington Partnership, development of business
opportunity for our region including River Rock Outfitters and a robust exchange in the arts
community.
Sue Henderson – 110 Old Landing Court, expanded on the cultural exchange that
took place while they were on the trip to Napal. She said there was religious studies, tourism,
they attended and toured schools, they interacted with artist in their studios and they stayed in
the homes of the Napoli people and learned their customs with a focus on learning and
understanding the heart of their culture. Ms. Henderson said they look forward to sharing
what they learned with UMW and their service class scheduled for Nepal. She said they had
over 40 pieces of original Napoli art that they brought back as well at their own photographic
art to display and place for sale at the Fredericksburg Art show at the Fredericksburg
Regional Library in February. Ms. Henderson said this trip was a moving experience and she
thanked the Council for their support.
Perna Sherestha – presented a gift from Mayor Bidya Sunder Shakya of Kathmandu
to Mayor Greenlaw. Mayor explained that the gift was a replica of one of the more famous
windows in Kathmandu.
Jon Gerlach (D17-405) – 809 Charlotte Street, ARB member but speaking as a
resident. Mr. Gerlach spoke in regards to the Fredericks Street Lofts project and he said the
Council had three options: to affirm, reverse or modify the ARB’s decision. He asked that
the Council take note of the design changes he said those changes would show that the
applicant was willing to work with the City on the height concerns. Mr. Gerlach stated that
the changes had just been submitted but there was no ARB decision on the changes in the
19809
Regular Session 10/24/17
design and there had not been any public notice for the changed design, therefore, he thought
the Council could only rule on the ARB’s decision.
JoAnn Obaugh – 314 Frederick Street and her daughter owns 316 Frederick Street,
they live in the small houses on the corner of Frederick and Charles Streets. She said they are
historic and they have a lot going for and against them. Ms. Obaugh said she and her
daughter would like the ARB decision reversed. She said they share a property line with the
project and the developer met with her and they came up with solutions for privacy and
parking and she believes their house would be an integral part of the project. She said they are
very happy with the project.
Amanda Short (D17-406) – 13465 James Madison Parkway, King George, President
of the Off-Campus Student Association read a letter on behalf of the Association and she
urged the Council to reconsider the plans to convert the University side of College Avenue
into two-hour parking spots. Ms. Short stated that this plan would further exacerbate current
parking problems on campus. She said UMW was known for a preserved historical campus
and in their opinion by placing signs or meters it would take away from the integrity and
beauty of the campus. Ms. Short stated that the students, faculty and staff support the City
through patronage of local businesses, volunteering in the community and partnership and
they feel the City wants to enact a plan that will negatively affect those who want to make
Fredericksburg a more appealing community to be a part of.
Hamilton Palmer – 1500 Caroline Street, 401 Charles Street (business) – stated that
he would hate to see the City lose money on the withdrawn public hearing item. Mr. Palmer
said instead of extending the bicycle trail down Caroline Street he suggested moving it over to
Princess Anne Street.
19810
Regular Session 10/24/17
Me. Palmer also spoke on the CPURC item and said the ordinance was written as
taxation without representation as well as a totalitarian government and he wanted
representatives added.
Mr. Palmer said he did not receive his notification on the Lofts project public hearing
until 10 days after the hearing, due to the post office. He spoke in support of the Lofts
project with the condition that the developer work something out with those who were going
to be affected by it, like Nancy Moore. Mr. Palmer said he would like to see if the developers
could get started on the warehouse portion.
Taylor Bricker – 1704 Washington Avenue, spoke in regards to the traffic problems
on Washington Avenue. He said his vehicle was totaled and he was afraid someone on the
trail would be hit. Mr. Bricker gave suggestions of traffic calming measure to slow the traffic
down.
Council Agenda Presented. The following items were presented to Council
for discussion.
7A. Traffic Problems on Washington Avenue – Vice-Mayor Withers

Traffic Problems on Washington Avenue – Vice-Mayor Withers expressed
his concerns for the number of accidents on Washington Avenue near the canal. Chief Nye
informed the Council that they had been monitoring the area for the last two months and
they had found the average speed to be between 20-34 mph.
19811
Regular Session 10/24/17
Mr. King noted that they would continue to analyze what was causing the accidents
but he also informed the Council that staff had recently put together a staff committee to
review things like this and the committee would be taking a look at this area.
Vice-Mayor Withers expressed his concern because there were many young families in
the area and he said he trust the staff would come up with a solution.
Mr. Johnston also added that one of the changes in the area plans was to change the
one way section to two way.
Councilor Devine said there was also a pedestrian concern and she asked staff to take
a look at that as well as the traffic concerns.
Canal Report – Vice-Mayor Withers ask Public Works Director King to give a
brief update on the Canal. Mr. King reported that the Canal was now full of water, the intake
pump was repaired and installed, the aeration system had been reactivated and because of this
work the duckweed was dissipating.
Ward 4 Public Works Improvements – Councilor Frye thanked Public
Works for all the improvements in Ward 4. He highlighted the speed tables and crosswalks
on Airport Avenue, improvements in the area of Charles and Lafayette Streets, Rising Sun
area and the Riverside neighborhood.
The Full Story of Fredericksburg – Councilor Frye said there had been a lot
of community dialog going on since the slave block discussions. He said people wanted to
know more and the story needed to be told correctly and not watered down. He urged
citizens to let the City know of stories that were not being told.
19812
Regular Session 10/24/17
Mayor Greenlaw noted that there were very good stories to be told. She said she had
attending the last Memorials Advisory Commission meeting and they discussed that they
wanted to get the story told.
Public Restrooms – Councilor Ellis stated that the Main Street Board had
discussed the lack of restrooms in the 900 and 1000 blocks of Caroline Street. He suggested
that maybe the City could work with the owners of the buildings to create public restrooms in
the area. Councilor Ellis said he and City Manager Baroody could bring this back to Council
at a later time.

action with applicant’s approval.
Mr. Johnston also noted that the applicant had other applications going to the
Planning Commission on November 8, the applications are for a rezoning, special use permit,
and special exceptions dealing with setbacks. He explained that each of the items would be
coming to Council after they go to the Planning Commission. Mr. Johnston stated that the
property was within the Railroad Overlay district and it would need to be removed from the
district in order to exceed the 40 foot limit.
Councilor Kelly suggested that it would benefit the Council to have a review of the
Railroad Overlay District to inform or remind the Council the original intent of it.
Vice-Mayor Withers said he would like the ARB to review the revisions that were
submitted on October 20 before the Council vote on the appeal. Councilor Kelly reminded
Vice-Mayor Withers that the only way that could happen is if the applicant was willing to give
the Council an extension on the appeal.
19816
Regular Session 10/24/17
Sebina Weitzman, Vice-Chair of the Architectural Review Board, noted that the
comments being made would revolve around the building designs as of September 11, 2017
because those were the plans the ARB voted on.
Ms. Weitzman presented a PowerPoint presentation and in the presentation she
covered the meeting history of the project, staff analysis, building height, size and scale,
recommendations and a review. See D17-428 thru D17-429 for more information.
Mr. Mike Adams, the applicant, said in the first meeting with the ARB they discussed
the height of the building, the need to take the one story structure down and they discussed
the fact that they did not own the property. He said they were trying to ascertain the
feasibility of taking on such a daunting project and they were encouraged to move forward
even though they told them parts of the building would be fifty feet high and a number of
other issues. He said he told the ARB that he did not want another controversial project in
the City and he asked them if they could not support it to let him know and he would leave
the building for someone else. He said it was important to restore the building and he
believes this project would do that. Mr. Adams reminded Council that they had to start a
story up because the first floor could only be parking due to the floodplain. He said he
changed many of the items the ARB requested and he said he received good feedback from
the ARB. Mr. Adams said he had meeting with Darbytown and he met with Ms. Moore
because he knew a project like this would impact the people nearby. He asked the Council to
make a decision on his project and not send it back to the ARB because they were requesting
the removal of an entire floor and he said that was not possible because he was building in a
floodplain.
Ms. Barile, a member of the ARB stated that the ARB never requested any large scale
changes to the project. She said they always thought the design was interesting and
19817
Regular Session 10/24/17
sympathetic to the neighborhood, she said they mentioned the doors and windows and the
only real issue was about the height. Ms. Barile said they did go around and around on the
setbacks and the vegetation but Mr. Adam’s architect said the setbacks were not possible.
Ms. Barile said they did try and wanted to approve the project and she said they would love to
continue to work with the developers.
Councilor Ellis asked when you have the guidelines, floodplain and parking
requirements he asked how do you construct this building meet all the requirements and keep
it above the floodplain as well as have enough units to make the project profitable. Mr.
Adams said with the zoning and variance they could put 32 units but there was no way to do
that and he said he was fortunate to be able to get 17 units.
Councilor Kelly pointed out that all the buildings that the ARB used for comparison
were built before the current building requirements. Ms. Weitzman explained that the built
environment is the context in which they are charged with to take care of and that is the
purpose of the historic district ordinance and guidelines.
Councilor Kelly said there was an issue that deals with the cost and he said part of the
discussions needed to be the cost that it would take to refurbish the building and he said that
needed to be considered in some of the projects. He said in order to rehabilitate some of the
buildings in the City’s historic district it would be expensive and the developers may never get
the return back. He asked how the ARB balances the cost to rehab a building, with making
the project economically viable. Ms. Weitzman said it comes up often. She said it was not in
their purview to look at the applicant’s financial plan. She said they cannot make those
decisions they have their guidelines and ordinance that they use. Mr. Gerlach, ARB member
said they have guidelines that are passed by City Council and they are law. He explained that
is was not relevant for the ARB to look at the cost of a project.
19818
Regular Session 10/24/17
Mr. Adams said it was clear that there are things the ARB would consider in the
guidelines and there are things they cannot. He said that is when they land in the hands of
the Council to consider and make a decision. He said the reason he appealed was because he
believes the ARB’s interpretation was not correct.
Councilor Ellis said there was no way to build anything and try to stay within the
height restrictions when building in a floodplain and with the parking requirements. He said
this would make all building higher than the ARB would like.
Councilor Duffy asked staff how they got passed the percentage issue and Ms.
Schwartz explained that each project was different and they apply guidelines as appropriate.
She said she does not always apply the guideline to some buildings because there are so many
historic examples of buildings in the historic district that do not meet the standard and she
stick to those that are clearly applicable and hold more weight. Mr. Johnston said an example
would be with many of the comparison buildings that were noted and are very close to the
right of way and are modest in height and this building would sit back 40 feet from the right
of way.
Mayor Greenlaw reminded Council that staff recommended approval of the project
and the ARB denied approval. Ms. Weitzman clarified that staff recommended approval with
recommendation for modifications and those modifications were on the setbacks and
anything the applicant could do to reduce the height.
Mr. Adams said in their revised plans they did address those modifications in the
revised plans. He said there was a hyphen on the side of the building and the height had been
reduced.
19819
Regular Session 10/24/17
Councilor Devine said she would like the ARB to review the revisions as a part of the
ARB process. She understands this was a huge challenge to build this project with all the
standards and guidelines, but she feels strongly that the ARB needs to review the revisions.
Mayor Greenlaw asked how the Council could send this back to the ARB without it
being a laborious process and City Attorney Dooley said the other decisions on this project
would be coming to the Council on December 12 and there was an ARB meeting before the
12th and the ARB could provide a report on the revised plans but the decision would stay at
the Council level. She explained that the applicant would have to agree to the extension.
Mr. Adams agreed to extend the deadline to allow the ARB to review and comment
on the revision and get their input back to the Council in order for the Council to make a
decision.
Councilor Devine made a motion to postpone the consideration of the Certificate of
Appropriateness by December 12 with the agreement of the applicant; motion was seconded
by Vice-Mayor Withers.
Motion to Suspend the Rules. In order to continue meeting past the 11:00
