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.

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.

Staff gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Appeal of the Architectural Review Board (ARB) decision at 306-312 Frederick Street. Ms. Schwartz did and overview of the project, context considerations, site planning factors, revisions to the submission and potential actions. See D17-427for more information. Ms. Schwartz listed the following as potential actions: affirming the ARB decision, reverse the ARB decision, modify the ARB decision and delay of 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.
