conduct scheduled public hearings and immediately reconvened upon their conclusion.
Citizen Comment. The following comments were given and/or submitted to
be read during the citizen comment portion of this evening’s meeting.
Holly Clark, 1504 Winchester Street, stated that she and her family travel by
bicycle and she stated while trying to cross Cowan Boulevard to get to Hugh Mercer her
daughter was almost struck by a car because of someone running a red light. She also
stated that she noticed how fast cars were going in the school zone and she asked the
City Council to look into placing speed cameras in the area during the school zone times.
Ms. Clark also thanked the Council for the reversion of Fall Hill Avenue and
Washington Avenue back to two-way streets. She said it has been great and easier to
get around. She said these changes have an economic impact on the City.
Chuck Koch, 3108 Normandy Avenue, spoke in support of accessory dwelling
units (ADU). He said ADU’s could be used for extra income or a place for extended
family to live. He said this would allow more affordable housing in the area and
development of additional space. He said it would be a win for those looking for tiny
house living.
Dennis Lister, 1108 Rappahannock Avenue, spoke against ADU and he asked that
the process for ADU’s be open and comprehensive. He said Alexandria spent over a
21613
Regular Session 01/10/23
year before making any decisions on ADU’s. He asked the Council not to make this a
quick process.
Sue Sargeant, 1318 William Street, asked the Council to table the vote on ADU’s
and requested that City Council and Planning consider several community engagement
forums to discuss ADU’s. She said forums are best practices to get engagement from
the community. Ms. Sargeant noted that several of the neighbors had studied the
online documents of Fairfax County, Arlington and Alexandria and they still do not
understand the ramifications, positive or negative on the City and neighborhoods.
Ms. Sargeant also wanted to know why the City wanted to do ADU’s by right
instead of by Special Use Permit. She stated that Alexandria engaged the community
with education and information shares but she said they do not see any of this
engagement with Fredericksburg’s proposal. She suggested the City use what
Alexandria had already done instead of reinventing the wheel.
She asked the Council to table this item because they felt like it was being
rushed.
Jack Cianciotto, 1406 Augustine Avenue, said he was not in support of ADU’s.
He said there were already some ADU’s in the College Heights Area and he was not
favorable of them. He did not want to see any other ADU’s in the neighborhood. He
said he purchased a single family home because that’s where he prefers to live. Mr.
Cianciotto stated that there was already a parking problem in the area. He noted that
the increase in population would have an impact of Police, Fire, water and sewer. He
asked the Council to get its spending under control because it was expensive to live in
21614
Regular Session 01/10/23
the City. He said he has the right to expect that his neighborhood would remain a
single-family neighborhood.
James Kotwicki, 1236 Rowe Street, listed 23 corporations that owned homes in
the College Heights neighborhood and he said majority of them do not take interest in
their properties. He said it was clear that ADU’s have potential to be taken advantage of
and can be turned into Air B&B’s. He said he was very concerned about that happening.
He was of the belief that ADU’s would be turned into short term rentals. He said ADU’s
take houses off the market and increase rental prices. Mr. Kotwicki said he was
concerned that the City would not be able to enforce the rules. He encouraged the
Council to put this as a ballot measure.
Susan Pates, (D23-12). 2010 Fall Hill Avenue, stated that she felt the Council
should be encouraging single-family housing. She commented on the large amount of
renter compared to homeowners and the astonishing number of apartments and
townhomes in the City. She even noted that there was plenty of senior living facilities
available. Ms. Pates stated that it would be helpful to have ordinances to control
overcrowding. She briefly spoke of the parking issues and she was not confident the
City would be able to enforce the number of unrelated people in one house. Ms. Pates
asked the Council to table the discussion on ADU’s because there were too many
unanswered questions.
Meredith Beckett (D23-13). 1401 Brent Street, asked the Council to delay action
on the ADU item until staff hold a well-publicized forum to inform the residents about
what constitutes an ADU and to answer questions about the pros and cons of ADU’s.
21615
Regular Session 01/10/23
She stated that she had spoken to many and they have never heard of ADU’s. She
agreed the City needed to address housing but she said more discussions needed to be
held to discuss potential negative aspects of ADU’s such as the strain on water and
sewer use, parking issues and increased populations needing services and schools. Ms.
Beckett stated that public comment period was not the same as a public discussion
which allows for question and answers.
Raymond Herlong (D23-14). 1009 Prince Edward Street, stated that he has heard
the Council discussion on ADU’s but stated that if the Council and staff believe
expanding ADU’s is an improvement to the City they should be willing to convince
neighborhoods and community groups that the benefits outweigh the negatives. Mr.
Herlong noted that ADU’s would not increase residential ownership but it would
increase non-owner-occupied residential. It would also increase the proportion of city-
renters, to property owners as well as increase the use of city services while decreasing
those paying property taxes. Mr. Herlong asked the Council to halt the process and
perform an in-depth study on the full costs and ramifications of expanding ADU’s.
Council Agenda Presented. The following items were presented to Council
for discussion.
8A. Murder Free Fredericksburg – Vice-Mayor Frye
8B. Speeding in a School Zone – Councilor Gerlach
8C. Mary Washington Hospital/ Anthem Dispute – Councilor Devine
Murder Free Fredericksburg, Vice-Mayor Frye stated that he started tallying
murders in the City to get the conversations started about crimes, in particular murders.
21616
Regular Session 01/10/23
He noted that he was on the Council because of a murder he witnessed as a child. He
started the tally in hopes that there would be a point in time where there were no
murders, and 2022 was that year. He also noted that the City has the only program in
Virginia that allow gun givebacks, which is a voluntary gun turn in program. Vice-Mayor
Frye noted that to date there has been 220 guns turned in.
Councilor Gerlach stated that he was appreciative of Vice-Mayor Frye’s
commitment to crime in the City.
Speeding in a School Zone, Councilor Gerlach addressed the speaker’s
comments regarding speeding in a school zone. He said there was a Virginia State
statute that allows the installation of speed cameras in school and construction zones.
He asked the Council of they would be interested in asking staff to look into this.
Councilor Graham stated that anything that could be done to address pedestrian
safety would be great, but he was not sure if cameras were the best option. He did not
want to limit the research to cameras only because there could be other traffic calming
measures.
Councilor Devine agreed that she did not want to limit the research to cameras
only.
Vice-Mayor Frye agreed that something needed to be done but he did not want
to limit the research to cameras only.
Councilor Duffy said he was concerned that speed cameras may not be as
effective as the reengineering of the street. He was supportive of speed cameras to the
21617
Regular Session 01/10/23
extent that they work but he said there were other measures that may be more
effective.
Councilor Kelly echoed the other Council members. He stated that speed
cameras were effective on catching speeders and making money but if the objective was
to slow people he said the focus should be in that direction. He said there were many
other areas that have these issues and this needed to be looked at for all problem areas
in the City.
Mayor Greenlaw noted that the Police Department had been making efforts by
focusing on certain areas and they had written 2400 tickets since October 2021.
Councilor Gerlach thanked the Council and he agreed that the holistic approach
was a better approach but he said perhaps a short term solution would help in the
meantime.
Mary Washington Hospital/Anthem Dispute, Councilor Devine asked the
City Manager to give a brief update on what it was doing although it was not in the City
domain to address.
Mr. Baroody stated that the City was concerned with the dispute between
Anthem and Mary Washington Hospital. He said he had talked with Dr. McDermott
about the ongoing negotiations with Anthem and expressed the City’s concerns. He said
they do not have a consensus. He said he was planning to talk to Anthem to relay the
same message about the concerns because it would have a great impact on the
community. He said if they do not come to consensus by February 28 many people will
be out of network and that was unacceptable.
21618
Regular Session 01/10/23
Councilor Duffy asked the Council if they were in agreement with moving Item
11F up on the agenda.
Resolution 23-02, Approved, Initiating Amendments to the Unified
Development Ordinance to Permit and Establish Regulations Governing
the Use of Accessory Dwelling Units Associated with Single-Family
Detached Dwelling Units (D23-22 thru D23-23). Planning and Building
Development Director Johnston presented a PowerPoint presentation and he reminded
the Council that at the December 13 work session there was a consensus of the Council
to begin discussions on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). He reviewed the City
Neighborhood character and history and showed that it had changed over the years and
that ADU’s were more common in the older parts of the City. ADU’s were allowed up
until the 1970’s. Those ADU’s were typically within the structure.
Mr. Johnston showed a map of the identified ADU’s within the City but he
cautioned there were more within the City. He said there were at least 90 but it’s
believed there are over 100. He said the purpose for this change was to legalize usage
that already occur. In the presentation, he reviewed the change to the Accessory
Dwelling Unit ordinance and the Accessory Dwelling Units Standards.
Mr. Johnston recommended the next steps as approving the resolution initiating
Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance amendment process for Planning Commission review
and recommendation, Planning Commission hold a public Hearing on February 8 and the
Commission has 100 days from that date to make a recommendation to Council. The
21619
Regular Session 01/10/23
council can grant an extension to that 100 days and Planning Commission may hold
additional community information sessions.
Councilor Kelly stated that on Sunday he posted a survey about ADU’s and he
had received 178 responses with over 430 comments. He reviewed the stats of the
survey. He said there was a lot of interests and questions on ADU’s.
Councilor Kelly agree the City has a process in place but he felt there should be a
community engagement session before taking this to the Planning Commission. He
stated that the City had become an investment haven and allowing ADU’s would not
really help property values. He said there needed to be more education on ADU’s. He
noted that the Alexandria model was a great model and suggested the City should
follow their model. Mr. Kelly was insistent on starting without a draft and having dialog
with the public first before drafting a policy.
Dr. Duffy said he had heard a lot about the pressures around the college and
what ADU’s might do to the neighborhood. He was in agreement that everyone must
educate themselves about ADU’s and what we want them to do or not do for the City.
He said he would like to find a way to use the expertise of the Planning Commission and
have them responsible for the forums. He would like to do whatever works best for the
City. He was aware that there were many concerns about enforcement.
Mr. Johnston stated whenever discussing complexed issues he finds that if he
starts with a blank slate the discussion falls flat but if he starts with some ideas it
focuses the conversation and gives structure. He said the ordinance was a proposal that
could evolve into something as the discussion occurs.
21620
Regular Session 01/10/23
Mayor Greenlaw explained that there was nothing to discuss until it is initiated
and the appropriate vehicle for discussion was through the Planning Commission. She
said this was a reality that needed to be addressed. She noted that the proper process
was for the Council to send it to the Planning Commission and they would be tasked
with holding the public discussions.
Councilor Devine originally agreed there should be public comment first but she
was appreciative after hearing Mr. Johnston’s and the Mayor’s comments about having
some framework to work from. She had a concern that in the proposal which stated
they may hold additional community discussions and she would like it to say they will
hold additional community discussions. Another concern she had was with parking
because people have more cars and there is not a robust public transportation system in
the City. She said different neighborhoods have different concerns and what works in
one neighborhood may not work in another. Another concern Councilor Devine had
was with enforcement because that was already an issue with enforcing the number of
unrelated people living together.
Councilor Devine said she has had people ask her what ADU mean and she said
that is where discussions need to start. She would like this information posted on the
website to help educate people on the basics.
Vice-Mayor Frye said he had some opinions on the topic but he wanted to make
the public aware that the Council never rush decisions. He said the ADU conversation
has been an ongoing conversation. He said during COIVD there was a conversation on
21621
Regular Session 01/10/23
when a citizen came to City Council for a permit to put an ADU in her basement for her
elderly mother and it was denied.
Vice-Mayor Frye was concerned with lot size and setbacks and he noted that
someone with a larger lot and a smaller home may not be able to do this.
Councilor Graham agreed that this was not rushed. He said there was August 6,
2019 editorial in the Free Lance-Star which stated that he had requested in the August
previously for public dialog on ADU’s. He noted it has been four years since he originally
asked for discussions on ADU’s.
Councilor Graham also spoke on the case that came before Council that Vice-
Mayor Frye spoke about. He noted that all her mother wanted was a stove in the
basement and she could not have that because it was not allowed. He is of the belief
that the City could craft a policy that will not put a strain on infrastructure or parking
and provides a tool to help with housing opportunities in the City. Housing costs are a
concern and ADU’s are one way to address the issue.
Councilor Graham touched on how few starter homes there are and the difficulty
to afford homes and having an ADU could provide the income needed to afford the
home. He was hopeful that a policy, that is right for the City, could be drafted from
everyone’s opinion.
Councilor Gerlach noted that there are so many opinions on this. He said it was
too early to decide if ADU’s are right for the City. He said he would like to involve the
public as robustly as possible. He asked that the Planning Commission look at the
definition of a family, which he said it may need to be modified. He also asked if they
21622
Regular Session 01/10/23
could look at wheelchair accessible floor plans that are found in an ADU market place
and make a recommendation based on that. Finally, he would like the Planning
Commission to consider a pilot program in order to get data.
Councilor Kelly said there are option that the public does not know about before
staff begins with this. Another problem is that there is no community coverage of
what’s going on in the community and he said the City needed to step up and do this.
He wants the City to go out to the community, on their schedule, and answer questions.
Councilor Kelly requested the City start with an educational component even if that’s
through the Planning Commission. Before starting he would like staff to come back and
say how they are going to handle this before moving forward.
Mr. Johnston said he would like to have the Planning Commission have a say in
how this will be handled and Mr. Kelly said that was fine if they are going to recommend
how they are going to move forward with community engagement, but he would not
support them sending a recommendation to Council to move forward on, he would not
be in support.
Councilor Graham made a motion to approve Resolution 23-02, initiating
amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance to permit and establish regulations
governing the use of accessory dwelling units associated with single-family detached
dwelling units; motion was seconded by Councilor Gerlach.
Councilor Kelly made a friendly amendment, before taking formal action on the
motion that the Planning Commission submit a formal community engagement plan on
moving forward with the ADU process.
21623
Regular Session 01/10/23
Councilor Kelly stated that this was an opportunity to reengaged with the civic
community in the City by getting out there to meet with them.
Councilor Graham, the maker of the motion, did not accept the friendly
amendment, he said he wanted to hear from the Planning Commission on how they
want to engage the public. He said if they do not comeback with the level of
engagement that the Council feels necessary the Council could extend the time period.
Councilor Devine said she was of the understanding that Mr. Johnston was going
to have the Planning Commission start the process and come back to the Council and
inform them how they plan to proceed.
Mr. Johnston said this should go through a process and this will be discussed at
the February Planning Commission meeting and he could report back to Council the
preliminary thoughts of further community engagement. He said he would report back
monthly as the Planning Commission goes through the process.
Councilor Devine informed the public that the Council has been looking at this
for some time and they would not rush the process. She encouraged the public to stay
engaged and get involved but keep the questions, concerns and kudos coming.
Councilor Duffy said the importance of public forums was vital. He asked for
clarification on the timing of the recommendation and how the initiation process could
be extended. Mr. Johnston said he would bring it back to Council to amend the
resolution granting additional time for review.
21624
Regular Session 01/10/23
Councilor Duffy said he envisioned the City Council and the Planning Commission
attend forums and give citizens the opportunity to give feedback whether in person or
online. He said this was not the traditional way to handle things.
Councilor Kelly was not in agreement with the proposed process.
Mr. Johnston clarified what he understood, the Council would initiate the
change, he would take it to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on February 8
and the discussion would be how to garner further public comment and he would report
to the Council at the February 14 meeting on how the Planning Commission would be
moving forward.
Councilor Graham clarified that he rejected the amendment because of the
request for a formal report.

21626
Regular Session 01/10/23
Mr. Whitley added that staff had been in touch with the City’s lobbyist in
Richmond and they have asked local delegation to help. He said they met with the
Secretary of Natural Resources in Richmond to get his feedback on the project and they
were pleased with it but additional support did not make it into the Governor’s budget.
He said they were asking local delegation to sponsor a budget amendment in the
current session in the amount of $20 million to see if the General Assembly would
provide additional support for the project.
