COMMISSION
Youth Commission
Quarterly Report
Mr. James
Noel, III, Chairman, provided the Board of Supervisors with the last
quarterly report of the 2002-2003 Youth Commission. He noted the
Commission was involved with the Historical Committee welcoming the
German Exchange Students. The members spent time planning a County-wide
talent show in May. The final activity for this year’s Commission was
last Saturday's adopt-a-highway project on Goodwin Neck Road. Mr. Noel
stated he was gratified that the Board of Supervisors agreed to provide
educational scholarships to the Outstanding Youth awardees, and he
expressed appreciation to Chairman Burgett and Mr. Shepperd for their
encouragement and assistance to the Commission.
Commendation of the 2002-2003 Youth Commission
Chairman
Burgett provided some background information on the Youth Commission
which was established in York County 20 years ago in the spring of 1983
and which strives to bring the ideas and needs of the County’s youth to
the Board’s attention. He then read excerpts from Resolution R03-68
which was adopted by the Board on June 3 commending the members of the
2002-2003 Youth Commission, and he and Vice Chairman Shepperd then
presented each outgoing Commissioner with a bound and sealed copy.

ROUTE 17 CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENT STUDY
Mr. James W.
Noel, Jr., Director of Economic Development, made a presentation
updating the Board on the efforts of the Route 17 Revitalization
Committee. He provided the Board with a project time line leading up to
the present status and plans for future actions of the committee,
including a field trip to Fairfax County, holding a public meeting to
receive input from property owners impacted by the project, and
finalization of an implementation plan to present to the Board of
Supervisors for consideration. He noted the committee is already
working on compiling baseline data of the properties involved and
videoing the properties and making digital pictures of the entire
corridor and existing conditions. He stated the committee is looking at
beautification easements, identifying and prioritizing properties for
easement acquisition. The committee is also looking at a grant program
to provide assistance with design, facade improvements, sign
improvements, and general property improvements assistance. Mr. Noel
indicated the committee is studying the concept of an overlay district
for Route 17 and looking at the possibility of using revenue sharing
funds for right-of-way and median landscaping. He stated great ideas
are coming out of the committee, and the committee members are very
excited about this project and hope to bring the Board some good
recommendations.
CITIZENS COMMENT
PERIOD
Mr. Donald
Phillips, 200 Dogwood Court, spoke of the proposed King William
Reservoir, noting he first addressed the Board in 1994 to state the
reservoir was a bad idea for many reasons. He stated the County should
look at other alternatives, that nothing has changed much since 1994;
but at that time it was not apparent that the Peninsula would be needing
as much water as is now projected. He stated if focus remains on the
King William Reservoir, it may take a very long time to get anything
done. Mr. Phillips stated it is time to move on, and work with Newport
News and James City County on other alternatives.
COUNTY
ATTORNEY REPORTS AND REQUESTS
Mr. Barnett reported that a week ago he attended a quarterly meeting of
the local chapter meeting of the Virginia Association of Surveyors to
discuss some legislation requested by the County, but withdrawn by
Senator Williams, regarding plats being pre-approved by the County
before being recorded in the Circuit Court. He noted the County might
have some feedback from the Association that could shape whether or not
the Board wants to work with it on a proposal for next year.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS AND REQUESTS
Mr.
McReynolds reminded the Board of a work session scheduled for June 10 on
Route 17 corridor improvements, and the next Regular Meeting scheduled
for June 17.
MATTERS
PRESENTED BY THE BOARD
Mrs. Noll
stated she was very proud of the County’s Youth Commission, stating it
was nice to see how they have grown in their positions over the past
year. She expressed thanks to Lou Lafrenaye, a member of the Drainage
Committee, who spent six hours last week touring District 2 with her
looking at the way the water flows and the potential drainage problems.
She stated people don't realize that when they do something to their
ditches it will have an effect on someone else’s. She noted some
ditches were filled in, and these people will be contacted to have them
cleared. Mrs. Noll thanked the staff who participated in the Relay for
Life program last weekend, noting they put in a great deal of work and
many hours raising over $7,000. She encouraged women who need
mammograms or other preventive tests to have them done.
Mr. Wiggins
stated he, Mr. McReynolds, and Mr. Carter set a date for people who live
in Lackey to participate in a meeting to do something for beautification
in that area. He indicated the meeting would be held on July 16 at the
Community Center at Brown Park, and the notices will be sent out soon.
Various departments will be represented, and it will be a good time for
the residents to get their questions answered. Mr. Wiggins then
mentioned the upcoming election in November, asking the citizens to talk
to their delegates serving in Richmond to find out what they plan to do
for the localities, and ask them if they plan on restructuring the
state’s method of collecting taxes. He stated York County had to cut a
lot of services, but it also had to cut the money spent on schools,
drainage, potholes, and roads. He noted that if the Board hadn't placed
a great deal of emphasis on the County’s businesses and creating ways to
help them, the Board would have had to raise the tax rate. He stated
the County budget didn't survive this year by tightening the belt--it
was done through good planning.
Mr. Zaremba
spoke of an Article in the Daily Press on May 30 concerning the
re-imposition of a toll on the Hampton Roads bridge tunnel, stating a
referendum issue was soundly defeated as to whether or not there would
be taxing authority for roads. The article stated that local
administrators met and have come up with a plan on whether or not to
reinstate tolls on the tunnel at a cost of between $.75 and $4.50, with
the funds to be used to improve the current broken transportation
system. He stated the proposal shifts the responsibility from Richmond
to the local officials and governing bodies to put in place a tax, and
he suggested that the citizens send emails and make telephone calls to
let the Board of Supervisors know whether or not it should be given the
authority to vote on a toll for the Hampton Roads bridge tunnel. Mr.
Zaremba then referred to a letter to the Virginia Gazette that was
printed just before the referendum where the author stated the General
Assembly has abdicated its responsibility by sending the responsibility
back to the localities. He stated the responsibility should be sent back
to the General Assembly, and failure to do so could set a precedent to
give other planning groups taxing authority. Mr. Zaremba noted this is
an election year, and he suggested that a message should be sent to
General Assembly encouraging the members to correct the broken tax
structure and stop expecting the localities to pick up the tab. He then
reminded residents of District 1 that he would be holding an update on a
number of issues impacting the lower District 1 residents from 6:00 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m., June 5, at York High School. He also encouraged residents
to go to the polls and vote in the primary on June 10.
Mr. Shepperd
indicated he wished to add to Mr. Zaremba’s statement concerning the
proposal for a toll on the Hampton Roads bridge tunnel. He stated he
perceived this article to say if anything is done, it will have to go
through the legislature. He asked the citizens to send emails to
General Assembly representatives and tell them how they feel about the
proposal, stating he plans to do that in his district. Mr. Shepperd
then addressed the problem of graffiti, stating that in his district the
power poles have graffiti on them, and they need to be taken care of.
He also noted the trash on Hampton Highway is a problem, and there is
need for cleanup. VDOT has an adopt-a-highway program, but Hampton
Highway is already adopted. He encouraged residents to get engaged and
become part of the VDOT Adopt-a-Highway program. He stated that working
together the citizens can keep the taxes low, and it allows VDOT to
spend this funding on something else.
Meeting
Recessed. At 7:55 p.m. Chairman Burgett declared a short recess.
Meeting
Reconvened. At 8:02 p.m. the meeting was reconvened in open session by
order of the Chair.
PUBLIC
HEARING
AMENDMENT TO YORK
COUNTY CODE: CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT
Mr. Barnett
made a presentation on proposed Ordinance No. 03-16 to amend Section
16-8 of the York County Code to require the submission of fingerprints
to obtain a concealed weapons permit. He indicated that Sheriff Diggs
was present to answer any questions the Board might have concerning
concealed weapons permits.
Mr. Zaremba
asked what is considered a concealed weapon.
Mr. Barnett
stated if any person carries a weapon hidden from common observation, it
is a misdemeanor.
Mr. Zaremba
asked if he needed a license or permit to own a gun.
Sheriff J.
D. Diggs stated that anyone who can pass the background check and is 21
can purchase a gun.
Mr. Wiggins
stated one of his constituents emailed the Board about getting a permit
renewed and complained about having his fingerprints taken. He stated
he asked Sheriff Diggs to call the gentleman, and it seems the answer to
him was not sufficient. Mr. Wiggins asked Sheriff Diggs why individuals
have to have their fingerprints taken for the renewal of a permit.
Sheriff
Diggs indicated that a permit is good for five years. It is possible
that during the five years the individual could commit a crime using a
fictitious name or alias. He stated that a name check only will not
show a criminal conviction.
Mr. Shepperd
noted that the violation is a Class I misdemeanor, and he asked what the
penalty is.
Sheriff
Diggs stated the penalty is one year in jail or a $2,500 fine or both.
Chairman
Burgett called to order a public hearing on proposed Ordinance No. 03-16
which was duly advertised as required by law and is entitled:
AN ORDINANCE
TO AMEND YORK COUNTY CODE SECTION 16-8 TO REQUIRE THE SUBMISSION OF
FINGERPRINTS TO OBTAIN A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT
There being
no one present who wished to speak concerning the subject ordinance,
Chairman Burgett closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Noll then
moved the adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 03-16 that reads:

requirements of federal law, and the remainder shall be disposed of as
provided in § 18.2-310, Code of Virginia. For the purpose of this
section, a weapon shall be deemed to be hidden from common observation
when it is observable but is of such deceptive appearance as to disguise
the weapon’s true nature.
(b)
This section shall not apply to those individuals exempted from its
provisions by Section 18.2-308, B and C, Code of Virginia.
(c)
Any person wishing to obtain a permit to carry a concealed handgun must

Investigation for the purpose of obtaining criminal history record
information regarding the applicant, and obtaining fingerprint
identification information from federal records pursuant to criminal
investigations by state and local law enforcement agencies. Upon
completion of the criminal history records check and return of the
fingerprint cards to the York County Sheriff by the Virginia State
Police, the York County Sheriff shall promptly notify the applicant that
he has 21 days from the date of the notice to request return of the
fingerprint cards. All fingerprint cards not claimed by the applicant
within 21 days of notification by the York County Sheriff shall be
destroyed. Any optically scanned fingerprints shall be destroyed upon
completion of the criminal history records check without requiring the
applicant to be notified. Fingerprints taken for the purposes described
in this section shall not be copied, held, or used for any other
purposes.

MATTERS
PRESENTED BY THE BOARD (Continued)
Chairman
Burgett stated he attended the VDOT Lakeside Drive public hearing which
had an excellent turnout. Mr. Hicks from VDOT and Mark Carter from staff
were present as well as other staff members to answer questions. He
noted that all the information is available in the County offices for
those who weren't able to attend. He stated that this past Memorial Day
the County had a wonderful ceremony here at York Hall, and the
Historical Committee did an outstanding job planning the program. He
noted he also attended a Key Communicators breakfast with Dr. Staples,
the school staff, and citizens to discuss technology and what future
teaching stations will look like. Also discussed were SOLs--next year
seniors will have to pass them in order to graduate. Chairman Burgett
stated he also received a call this afternoon asking why a toll was
being proposed for the Hampton Roads bridge tunnel, and he stated it was
primarily for the five projects defeated in the referendum. He stated
the article in the Daily Press had errors, in that Mr. McReynolds also
voted no. He stated there need to be projects that effect regional
issues.

NEW BUSINESS
APPLICATION NO.
UP-610-02, KENNETH DALE MOORE, AMENDMENT REQUEST
Mr. Carter
made a presentation on proposed Resolution R03-95 to approve a minor
amendment to a special use permit authorizing the establishment of a
mini-storage warehouse facility on 2.6 acres along Route 134. He
indicated staff is recommending denial of the request, which is to
delete a block wall that would screen the warehouse bay doors.
Discussion
followed on the wrought iron fence and landscaping proposed by applicant
and location of the fence and its view from Route 134.
Mr. Carter stated staff’s concern is not the view from Route 134 but the
view from the shared driveway which is the only access to the adjacent
commercial parcel.
Mrs. Noll
stated she thinks Mr. Carter has a valid concern because the property is
not yet developed. Blocking the view might be beneficial for someone
purchasing the property for office space.
Mr. Zaremba
asked if vegetation was placed there with the wrought iron fence, would
it do the same thing in blocking the view.
Mr. Carter
noted a dense screen of evergreens would accomplish that, but Mr. Moore
has indicated he is trying to maintain a line of sight to manager's
office. If there are dense evergreens, there still won't be a line of
sight.
Chairman
Burgett noted that when the applicant originally received the use
permit, the requirement for the wall was in the permit, and now he wants
to change it. He suggested that perhaps the Board should look at the
whole project again. He stated Mr. Moore agreed to the use permit as
conditioned by the Board of Supervisors, and he stated he could not see
a compelling reason to change it.
Mr. Shepperd
stated the applicant probably should have brought this up earlier, but
because of the controversy at the time of the original use permit, he
chose not to. Mr. Shepperd stated he did not know if the wall is
absolutely essential.
Discussion
followed.
Mrs. Noll
moved that proposed Resolution R03-95 denied.
On roll call
the vote was:
Yea: (4) Noll, Wiggins, Zaremba, Burgett
Nay: (1) Shepperd

VIRGINIA
PENINSULA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (VPCC) EVENT
Mr. Wiggins
suggested the possibility of the County having a booth at the VPCC
Seafest Trade Show that will be taking place in September at the Hampton
Coliseum, stating he felt it would be a good place to have the Yorktown
Model on display.
General
discussion followed about the model being very fragile and sensitive to
weather conditions. The Board did indicate that there was a large scale
model of the proposed restaurant that was on a smaller platform that
could be displayed along with the picture boards of the entire project
that would be acceptable.
By
consensus the Board agreed to sponsor a booth at the VPCC Seafest that
would include the scale model of the restaurant with picture boards of
the Yorktown project.
Meeting
Adjourned. At 10:02 p.m. Mr. Zaremba moved that the meeting be
adjourned to 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 10, 2003, in the East Room, York
Hall, for the purpose of conducting a work session.
On roll
call the vote was:
Yea: (5) Noll, Wiggins, Shepperd, Zaremba, Burgett
Nay: (0)
