Ordinance 18-10, Second Read, Repealing Restrictions on Parking
on Public Streets near the University of Mary Washington Campus, by
19979
Public Hearing 06/26/18
UMW Commuting and Resident Students (D18-232 thru D18-237). 13
speakers. After staff presentation comments from the public were received.
Rev. Kent D. Rahm – Director of Trinity Episcopal Church, 825 College Avenue,
appreciated the proposal will allow 2 hour restricted parking around Trinity Church. He said
they looked forward to working out details on how to handle parking during large funerals
and other events. He said he was also thankful for the guest passes and for the idea that
some of the proposals may be tweaked in the future if they did not work.
Rev. Anne Jones Martin (D18-235) – Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, 1300
Augustine Avenue, made reference to a letter dated June 26, 2018 (D18-235). She thanked
Mr. Fawcett for his efforts in developing a parking plan that aims to meet the needs of all
the neighbors in College Heights. She expressed her support of the recommendation by the
Parking Committee to accommodate on street church parking. Pastor Martin asked the
Council to support the issuing of a number of visitor parking passes to the church for use by
those attending meetings, functions or events at the church that exceed 2 hours. See (D18-
235) for more information.
Ronald Amon (D18-236) – 1436 Buckner Street, stated that College Heights was
being invaded by both students and church member and he said both populations must be
targeted or no one gets targeted because it would be a violation of the 14 Amendment’s
Equal Protection Clause. He said the City focusing on the UMW students has caused
College Heights west residents, west of Stafford Avenue to be ignored. Mr. Amon said they
have a problem with hordes of church people flooding their neighborhood. He said it was a
waste of time to restrict parking then hand out church exemptions. Mr. Amon was not in
support of the proposed resolution or ordinance.
19980
Public Hearing 06/26/18
Gannon Sims (D18-237) – 3204 Linden Avenue, spoke on behalf of the young
adult community in the College Heights area. The young adults are both students and
church members. He said they rely on parking along Augustine, Stafford and College
Avenues. Many of the students commute in from Germanna and they hold many
community events. Mr. Sims said having some two hour parking along Stafford Avenue and
Augustine Avenue would be helpful to them.
Hillary Casey – 1206 College Avenue, she said she has lived in the City for three
years and she loves living across from the beautiful campus but she talked about the
difficulties with the parking. She talked about how difficult it was to have contractors come
and because of students parking in front of their homes all day and there was no place for
the contractors to park. She said she understand the difficulties of those working at the
college and this may cause them to have to walk a further distance. She thanked everyone
who worked with the Parking Advisory Committee and said the efforts do not go unnoticed.
Ms. Casey asked the Council to approve the proposed ordinance.
Meredith Beckett – 1401 Brent Street, College Heights president, said over the past
15 months the Board of Directors has been working with Assistant City Manager Fawcett
and Councilor Duffy on the parking in College Heights. She said the proposed ordinance
was a result of those discussions. Ms. Beckett said parking had always been an issue since
she has been on the Board as well as during her time served on the Town and Gown. There
was no perfect solution but she said this was a start to correcting the problems.
Harriett Rowe – 1238 Brent Street, asked for clarification on the church parking
along Augustine Avenue and Brent Street. Mr. Fawcett clarified that the parking would be in
front of the church, on Brent Street, Dandridge Street and Augustine Avenue. Additional to
19981
Public Hearing 06/26/18
that across the street from all three of the fronts. Mr. Fawcett also explained that both sides
of College Avenue between William and Hanover were also proposed be two hour parking.
Paul Fallon – 1813 Genther Lane, a professor at the University of Mary
Washington, stated that the City Council was voting on an ordinance that would bestow
privileges to residents of College Heights and College Terrace neighborhoods but would
discriminate against others that work and do business with the University. Mr. Fallon spoke
about the Walker parking report and he said it did not show there was a parking shortage.
He suggested giving those residents without off street parking assigned parking spaces. He
stated that given there was no real issue, he did not see the need for the proposed changes.
Brett Smith – 1508 College Avenue, said there has been a long effort over the past
15 months dealing with parking, but the concern they had was the two hour parking from
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and said this would allow students to park on Friday nights and stay
until Monday morning which would take up parking on the weekends. He said they are the
only single family private residence between 1500-1600 blocks and they are concerned with
the homes becoming more of rental properties.
Nabil Al-Tikriti, professor at the University of Mary Washington, said he agreed
with much of what Professor Paul Fallon stated. He said the parking changes were very
aggressive to the University and its interest in the community. He said the University was
facing many challenges and it did not need this on top of those challenges.
Michael Casey – 1206 College Avenue, said he had attended many of the meetings
and he was in awe of all the work put in by the Civic associations, the Council, Mr. Fawcett,
the Police Department representative, the University representatives and he said it had
restored his faith in the democratic process. He said to see the people come together and
make compromises was amazing. He asked the Council to step back and look at what’s
19982
Public Hearing 06/26/18
being proposed and do the right thing by taking steps that would influence behaviors, and
that were for the betterment of the public. He told the Council they would not make
everyone happy.
Georgia Strentz – 922 Grove Avenue, expressed her concern with the opening of
the University gate on Sunken Road because Sunken Road was so narrow. She said the cars
speed through the area. She asked if the City gave them permission or if they have the right
to open it. She said if this was going to happen there should be speed bumps put in place.
Mr. Fawcett explained that the University had the right to open the gate without
permission from the City. He said the opening of the gate was going to be restricted during
the daylight hours, Monday through Friday and it had been negotiated with the University.
He said there were enforcement issues and they would be able to compare traffic counts and
speed counts and they monitoring those concerns.
John Nere – 1718 College Avenue, thanked the Parking Advisory Committee for all
of their work. He said this had been a fifteen month process and he said the University had
not been ignored through the process. He mention the fact that originally there was
supposed to be metered parking along the University side of College Avenue, now that side
would have no restrictions. He said both the residence and the University had to make
compromises. He said when this is finalized there would be free parking on the streets as
well on the University property.
Councilor Duffy thanked everyone who was involved through this process and he
said it was impossible to have a plan to please everyone. He said he thought this was a good
compromise.
19983
Public Hearing 06/26/18
Councilor Frye asked if the University had considered running a shuttle from their
parking lots/garage and Mr. Fawcett said they had and it was still a possibility. They also
thought about partnering with FRED Transit.
Councilor Frye asked if the City could address the parking issue raised by Mr. Smith
and Mr. Fawcett said the proposal from the Parking Advisory Committee emphasizes that
the program would be for the coming academic period and the Committee committed to a
formal review of the entire program at the end of the academic year. The Committee will
also submit a report to the Council by July 31, 2019 and it would include any recommended
changes. Mr. Fawcett said he would like to wait 3-4 months before any suggested changes
were made.
Vice-Mayor Withers clarified that during the discussions on the parking passes for
the churches it was not a unanimous vote there were three members who did not think it
was appropriate to issue those passes. HE said other than that they agreed on the other
items.
Mayor Greenlaw thanked all the staff, Council, the University and residents who
were involved throughout this process. She said this was a difficult issue and that it was a
common issue for all College and University towns throughout the State.
Councilor Kelly thanked Councilor Duffy, Vice-Mayor Withers, Mr. Fawcett and the
Parking Committee for all of their time and effort. He explained that because the University
was a State institution, unlike anyone else, they do not have to meet parking regulations. He
said the University had not been focusing on parking and he suggested those who work for
the University start asking what the plans are for future parking. In regards to the churches,
he stated that they were already there and there was no other way to address their needs
19984
Public Hearing 06/26/18
because everything around them was built up and there was no other way address their
needs.

19989
Regular Session 06/26/18
W’s, the who, the what, the when, the where and the why and in this case the how and what
comes next. The who is the Potomac Nationals, a Class A affiliate of the Washington
Nationals in Woodbridge, VA. The Potomac Nationals have been owned for 29 years by the
Silber family and they would like to relocate their team to the City of Fredericksburg.
The what, is a multi-purpose stadium that would be privately financed, operated and
maintained in Celebrate Virginia South. The 5000 seat stadium would be a great amenity for
minor league baseball as well as an array of community events, sporting events and concerts.
The when, the letter of intent would come to the City Council on July 10 and if
approved there would be a 120 day study period with hopes of definitive agreement between
the City and the Potomac Nationals. The team would be renamed and opening day would be
in April of 2020. The where, would be in Celebrate Virginia which is a tourism campus.
The why, is because it was consistent with the City goals, it’s a valuable marketing
opportunity, the use of the stadium for an array of events, and it would be a community asset
and it would be a quality of life amenity for the region.
The how, it would be privately financed, City would make a $1.05 million payment a
year for 30 years and staff believes it would be offset by revenue generated from the stadium
and the City would be considered an anchor tenant.
The next steps would include the letter of intent, 120 day study period, stadium
design and finance, legislative approvals, definitive agreements, planning and permitting,
construction and opening day.
Mr. Art Silber, owner of the Potomac Nationals for 29 years, said this had been an
extraordinary experience working with city staff and it enable them to make decision to come
to the City. Mr. Silber gave a brief overview of how it all got started, beginning when he was
the age of 7 and he went to his first baseball game. He also gave a briefing on all the
19990
Regular Session 06/26/18
accomplishments he has had over the years. Mr. Silber said there was a lot of work to be
completed over the next 120 days. He has already engaged an architectural firm, selected a
general contractor, he has worked out a deal for the land with the Silver Companies and they
were about to put the job out for bid to make sure it could be built for $35 million. Mr.
Silber said if he didn’t think this would work he would not risk the value of the ball club. Mr.
Silber showed the pictures of the proposed stadium and described the amenities that would
be included. He also spoke about some of the events that are held at their facilities. He said
they want to provide family affordable entertainment. Mr. Silber said they strongly believe in
this community.
Mayor Greenlaw thanked Mr. Silber and explained that this had been an ongoing
discussion to bring this project to this point and it would continue to be an ongoing
discussion to include the public.
City Manager Baroody stated that it had been a pleasure to work with the Silber’s and
he said he would like to schedule the letter of intent (LOI) to be submitted to the City
Council at the next Council meeting.
Councilor Kelly thanked the Silber family for bringing this unique opportunity to the
City. He said it would enhance the recreational activities, bring community events to the City,
and enhance economic development and bringing a piece of the Washington Nationals to the
City. Councilor Kelly explained that projects like this were normally public/private
partnership and he said this is project was but it was a unique project because most were
community financed and the cities are usually responsible for the maintenance and up keep of
the facility. In this proposed deal, the roles are reversed and it is advantageous for the City.
Councilor Frye extended his thanks to the Silber’s for considering Fredericksburg.
He also thanked the staff for their work on this project and he said having this come to the
19991
Regular Session 06/26/18
City was great and it would expose many kids to something different. This project would also
expose the underserved youth to something they would not normally be able to see or do.
Mr. Silber said they were cognizant that people cannot afford to attend National
games and some cannot afford the minor league games, therefore, every Monday night is
$1.00 night. He said this is the best night of the week.
Councilor Ellis said he was involved heavily on the first baseball opportunity the City
had and this was a far better deal. He said the Council pressed staff pretty hard and here they
are with this great opportunity.
Mr. Silber stated that they hire a lot of the children in the community and many times
it is their first jobs. He said they teach the kids good hygiene, how to get to work on time,
how to dress properly. He said they have created over 6000 jobs over the years.
Councilor Duffy thanked the Silber’s and staff, he said he would be looking forward
to this.
Vice-Mayor Withers thanked the Silber’s family for the opportunity.
Mr. Freehling announced the website for the project
