4. Building Inspection Office August 2014
17 New single family and modular homes, 1 Manufactured Home, 16
Commercial/Industrial, 17 Accessory Structures (garages, sheds, piers, etc.), 14
Additions and Alterations, 2 Demolition and 122 Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical
permits were issued by the Building Inspection Department for the month of August
2014. Total of fees collected for these permits was $21,318.38. In addition staff
performed 730 various inspections and 67 plan reviews.
DHCD CODE UPDATE TRAINING:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that various Building Inspections staff attended
some of the mandated Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) update
training classes conducted by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community
Development (DHCD) at the Airport Holiday Inn Conference Center in Richmond.
Inspector George Seely attended on Tuesday 12th, George Seely, Paul Koll and Permit
Technician Celeste DeSimone on Wednesday 13th and Combination Inspector Anthony
McMahan attended on Thursday 14th. Additional mandatory training classes requiring
our attendance will be held in September in both the Richmond and Tidewater areas.
VBCOA REGIONAL MEETING:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that he attended the Virginia Building and Code
Officials Association (VBCOA) Region VII meeting held in Saluda on Wednesday 20th.
One of the topics for discussion was the merits of V-zone construction in Coastal A flood
zones and the cost benefits of freeboard. This is a subject that had been previously
discussed on numerous occasions in anticipation of receipt of the new FEMA FIRM maps
and that the various jurisdictions are required to revise their floodplain ordinances in
adopting these new FIRM’s. The Building Official, from Lancaster County, Steve Daum
was unable to attend, but emailed the group stating; “I will not be at the meeting but
believe this would be a good topic of discussion. I am having our new Flood Zone
Ordinance given to my Board for review the 28th. I have three changes that I believe they
will accept. Raise our freeboard to 2', Coastal A construction must meet V Zone
standards, and the Freeboard is to the bottom of the lowest horizontal member in all Flood
Zones. This will automatically give the maximum NFIP benefit, 3'.” Understanding the
hazards associated with the potential 1.5 ft. to 3 ft. wave action, the group voted to
approve the drafting of a letter in support of such construction within the Coastal A zones.
Such letter could then be forwarded to the various governing bodies within the region.
BEECH GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH – ADDITION:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that the building plans that were submitted for plan
review only for the proposed 3,000 square foot addition to the Beech Grove Baptist
Church located at 4073 Cedar Bush Rd. Hayes had been recently denied. Paul Koll met
with the church Pastor, several church leaders and Architect Kay Van Dyke on Tuesday,
July 29th to discuss what could be done for a, future use, second floor to be permitted in
their plans. Paul Koll offered several options in how the architect may revise such

5. construction plans to comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. All
appeared please with the outcome of the meeting. Ms. Van Dyke will revise the building
plans and resubmit for plan review.
BAY TRANSIT FACILITY – SECOND FLOOR BUILD-OUT:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that he and Building Inspector Anthony McMahan
met with Jerry Walker with Bat Transit, Paul Meyer with Innovative Design of North
Carolina and project Architect Bae-Won Koh to discuss the proposed build-out of the
second floor space of the new Bay Transit Office and Maintenance Building located on
Fiddler’s Green Rd. in the Courthouse area of the County. The proposed second floor
build-out would be an expansion of the office and conference rooms for Bay Transit.
Building plans have been submitted for plan review only at this time.
WENDY’S RESTAURANT- ADDITION AND RENOVATIONS:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that the building plans have been submitted for
plan review only for the proposed 400 sf addition and interior and exterior renovations to
the Wendy’s Restaurant located at 7149 George Washington Memorial Hwy. located in
front of the Comfort Inn Hotel. The proposed addition will be an expansion of the existing
dining room. The applicant is Shannon Riell, with Ionic Dezign Studios of Virginia Beach,
VA.
VERIZON BUILDING RENOVATIONS:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that building plans and application for a permit has
been submitted for proposed interior renovations to the Verizon Building and rear storage
building located at 6532 Main Street in Gloucester Courthouse. The applicant is Peter
Notari with IA Interior Architects of Washington D.C. The building contractor is Century
Construction Company, Inc. of Richmond Va.
RACEWAY MARKET:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that building plans have been submitted for plan
review only for a new 2,800 square foot Raceway Market building and an 8,600 square
foot canopy covered fueling area which will cover ten (10) double sided multiple fuel
dispensers. The site is located along the south bound lane of George Washington
Memorial Hwy. (Rt.17), across from the Hess Gas Station at Gloucester Point.
INSPECTIONS:
The Building Official, Paul Koll reports that inspection requests have continued to
increase. July 2014 average inspections per inspector per day was at fifteen (15). As
you know the desired inspection ratio, according to our Insurance Services Office (ISO)
auditors, should be ten (10) or less per day. Also, in addition to the increased number of
inspections scheduled, staff is still required to attend mandated training to retain their
certifications, as well as scheduling their vacation and leave times. As such, we are now
having to schedule inspections two or more days further out than normal.

Interoffice Memorandum
To: Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator
From: Nickie C. Champion, Director of Financial Services
Date: September 8, 2014
Re: Monthly Report for July and August
Highlights from the Finance Department include:
o Finance notified departments and agencies of the need to review their FY 2014 expenditure
transactions for accuracy. The first phase of audit field work was completed by our independent
auditors, Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates the week of July 14th. The auditors will be back on
September 15th to complete their necessary field work. The FY 2014 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report will be completed by the November 30, 2014 deadline.
o The Finance Director and Accounting Manager attended the monthly team meetings to discuss
progress and issues relating to the FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant program. The County is
currently working 8 HGMT grants, and the financial reconciliations and reimbursements reports
were completed at June 30th.
o The County received the arbitrage rebate calculation report for the period ending June 30, 2014
for the $8.91 million Virginia Resources Authority Water System Revenue Bonds (Series 2000B).
The County is not accruing an arbitrage rebate liability at this time. Sections 103 and 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code make the arbitrage rebate calculation a necessity. The IRS code
stipulates that any earnings over the declared yield of a tax-exempt bond issue must be paid to
the federal government. These excess earnings are defined as arbitrage. Failure to comply with
the rebate requirement may result in the retroactive loss of the tax-exempt status of the bonds as
well as other financial penalties.
o The County has received notification from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
that we have received a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2013. This is the
18th consecutive certificate for the County.
o Fitch Ratings completed and released the results of their most recent bond surveillance analysis
on the 2006 EDA Courthouse Refunding Bonds. The surveillance analysis on bonds ensures
Fitch that their rating continues to reflect the most current and up-to-date information available.
The Fitch report upgrades their ratings on the bond to AA- from A+. The implied general
obligation rating was upgraded to AA from AA-. The AA category of scores are issues with very
high credit quality with a very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. The pluses
for the County included our sound financial position, conservative budgeting practices,
consistently positive operating results, and high financial reserves. The County is considered to
have a low debt burden even when including utility debt. The somewhat limited local economy
(meaning the County is largely a bedroom community) was seen as a negative.

Planning Commission
The Planning Commission (PC) held its regular meeting on Thursday, August 7th; the meeting
began with presentation of a plaque to Kenneth Richardson for his 22 years of service on the
Commission – during which time he had served terms as chair and vice-chair, and only missed
five meetings.
The Commission held a public hearing on the update to the County’s Floodplain Management
Plan. Tripp Little, Planner II, provided an overview of the Plan and the recent updates - some
recommended by the Floodplain Management Committee and others made by County staff;
although one member of the Floodplain Management Committee was in the audience, no one
from the public spoke. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward the plan to the
Board with a recommendation for approval.
The Commission elected Seth Baldwin as the new Vice-Chair, since Mark Holthaus, the serving
Vice-Chair, was not reappointed by the Board.
Staff reviewed the changes to the Highway Corridor Overlay District (HCOD) in order to prepare
for September’s joint public hearing with the Board, and also reviewed a proposal for a code
amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance regarding preliminary plat requirements - which has
become necessary based on changes to State Code. The Commission directed staff to move
forward with the amendment and prepare it for public review.
Emily Gibson, Senior Comprehensive Planner and Vice President of Legislative Affairs for the
Virginia Chapter of the American Planning Association, presented a review of the actions of
the 2014 General Assembly - in particular those that relate to planning and land use.
Information on the Planning Commission’s meeting is available at:

Board of Zoning Appeals
The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) did not meet in August; no applications were received prior
to the deadline for the September 23rd meeting date.

39. LONG RANGE PLANNING & OTHER PROJECTS
August 2014
Department of Planning & Zoning
BOS Report

1. Comprehensive Plan Update
Staff has set this as a priority to dedicate work time to complete the final edits to the plan and
maps including formatting and finalizing the goals and objectives for the plan and incorporating
the latest data.
2. Transportation Planning
Garrey Curry, Assistant County Administrator for Community Development, has assumed
primary responsibility for coordinating transportation planning and representation on the
Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization’s (HRTPO) Technical Advisory
Committee; Planning & Zoning is still involved in transportation planning, but in a lesser role.
3. Rural Additions Program
Inquiries and applications – There was one inquiry about the program in August, but no
completed applications were received.
4. Website/Planning Newsgroup
The website is actively maintained to keep the public informed with information on current and
past Planning Commission meetings and upcoming public hearings. The site underwent a
facelift with all other County pages and is also under construction behind the scenes in order
to incorporate the recent addition of the Zoning Division to the Planning website. The Planning
Newsgroup now has a total of 424 members.
5. Sub-Area Plan Implementation
Through a collaborate effort between the Economic Development Authority (EDA), Main Street
Preservation Trust (MSPT), and the County, the EDA contracted with Milt Herd to work with
staff on developing the implementation ordinances for the two sub-area plans. The consultant
has identified many potential changes; several of which will implement the recommendations
from the Business Development Focus Group as well as the two sub-area plans for the Court
House and Gloucester Point/Hayes area. As work continues on this project, staff will form a
technical advisory committee with various stakeholders. Staff is currently reviewing the
recommendations developed by the consultant for specific changes to the zoning districts and
will be meeting to discuss the changes once staff has completed its review.
6. Floodplain Management Committee
The FPMC met on Wednesday, August 13th at the EOC. The meeting was well-attended, with
six County staff, six citizen members, and the Board of Supervisors’ representative, John Meyer
present. There was some discussion of membership, and Cathy Estep, Chair, is going to review
attendance and contact those members who do not attend meetings regularly to see if they still
wish to serve on the FPMC.
The FPMC also discussed the Hazard Mitigation Open Space Management Plan, and potential
uses of the properties acquired through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HGMP), as well

40. as the Coastal Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) that was revised by Garrey Curry, Assistant
County Administrator for Community Development - with input from other staff. The FMP will
be presented to the Board for adoption at the September 2, 2014 meeting.
Creig Moore, Emergency Services Manager, gave an update on the flood gauge grant. He said
that with federal and state contributions, the County’s match would need to be 3% - or $3,000.
The grant does not include money for maintenance. The FPMC’s next meeting will be October
15th at the EOC.

7. Staff Training
On August 7th and 8th, Anne Ducey-Ortiz, Director of Planning and Zoning, and four (4)
members of her staff attended training on using the WebEOC software - which was purchased
by the County as part of its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) preparedness. Based on the
adopted Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), most Planning and Zoning Department staff have
a role in the “Planning Section” of the EOC, and will need to be properly trained to fulfill their
requirements in those roles.
On August 27th, Anne Ducey-Ortiz participated in a webinar entitled: “Under the Influence:
How Policy Tilts the Land Use and Development Market.” The webinar revealed some major
policy issues that affect how and why land gets developed – and that it goes beyond just
conventional zoning. Issues and policies related to water and wastewater, taxing (and
spending) policies, parking requirements, and mortgage lending practices all play a hand in
how land ends up being developed; local land use requirements serve to set the stage.

Monthly Report – August 2014
General
Electrical Services Contract
The Department of Public Utilities, in coordination the Engineering Department
and Central Purchasing, fully executed a new on-call electrical services contract
with Ireland Electric Company. This new contract allows for affordable
scheduled and unscheduled licensed electrical work to be completed by any
department in the County. The scope of work includes motor repair, low and
high voltage wiring, conduit installation, lighting installation, programmable
logic controller maintenance and other electrical services. A kickoff meeting
was held on August 21st at the Water Treatment Plant.
Consent Order
The Utility Department received a Draft Consent Order from The Department of
Environmental Quality intended to replace the current Special Order by
Consent. Discussion and consideration by the regional utility directors will
commence in September 2014.
Engineering
Brent Payne, Utility Engineer & Interim Water Treatment Plant Manager,
coordinated with Draper Aden Associates to finalize rehabilitation and
improvement plans for the Water Treatment Plant. These plans include the
following projects:
 Converting from gaseous Chlorine to liquid Sodium Hypochlorite.
 Rehabilitating a dislocated 16” Raw Water Pipe.
 Installing heat tracing and insulation on the external Raw Water Pipe to prevent
the pipe from freezing.

47.  Retrofitting the Powdered Activated Carbon feed system for improved
performance.
Mr. Payne has also guided alterations to the Surface Water Treatment Plant’s
Superpulsator™ Clarifier system. The alterations are expected to limit product
waste, balance the distribution of influent water and improve mixing.
Water Treatment Plant
Production
The Water Treatment Plant:
o Withdrew a total of 46.3 Million Gallons of water for treatment
 23.0 Million Gallons from Beaverdam Reservoir
 23.3 Million Gallons from Groundwater
o Delivered 38.2 Million Gallons of water to the County distribution system
 19.5 Million Gallons of Conventional Filtration Water
 18.7 Million Gallons of Reverse Osmosis Permeate Water
Additional Projects & Additional Duties
 Mr. Kenneth Dugger, Lead Water Treatment Plant Operator, completed the first
training course in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system
maintenance. Mr. Dugger has been successful in applying his new training to
solving old and new problems for the water treatment plant’s SCADA system.
The training is anticipated to save DPU money by mitigating the need to pay for
costly technical services by outside consultants.
 As of August 28th, all safety recommendations stemming from a VML (County
insurer) inspection of the water treatment plant were completed except for the
raw water pipe rehabilitation. The raw water pipe rehabilitation design is being
finalized and bidding for the project construction is tentatively planned for
January of 2015.
 August 15th, Kenneth Dugger, Lead Water Treatment Plant Operator,
coordinated the rigging, lifting and cleaning of the 300 lb stainless steel raw
water intake screens.
 August 18th, Paul Moyer, Operator 2 replaced the solenoid valve on Raw Water
Pump 3.
 Operators relocated parts and inventory from the water treatment plant’s third
floor storage room into a consolidated parts and inventory room. The former
storage room’s walls were primed and painted. The floors were buffed clean.
The former storage room will become the new dust collection system room.
 Mr. Paul Moyer, Operator 2, and others began installation of the ductwork for
the recently procured dust collection system. This dust collection system will
improve air quality and safety for the explosion-proof powdered activated

48. carbon storage and feed room. Ireland Electric will be routing 3-phase 480V
power to the new system.
 Waterworks Operators performed daily inspections of County Wastewater Lift
Stations during weekends and holidays.
 Gordon Eimer, Class II Operator and David Nunn, Class IV Operator, power
washed the exterior of both water treatment plants and cleaned the exterior
windows.
Sampling, Testing and Monitoring
 All hourly tests and samples for the Water Treatment Plant were within
compliance Virginia Department of Health’s Regulations.
 10 Fecal Coliform and E. coli samples were collected throughout the
distribution system and tested by a third party. All samples had a negative
presence.
 pH, flow rate and Chlorine residual tests were run on samples collected at the
wastewater discharge point for monthly DEQ compliance testing.
 Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) tests were performed on the water treatment
plant’s discharge. All samples were within DEQ compliance requirements.
 Trihalomethane (TTHM) and Haloacetic Acid (HAA5) testing was conducted for
the distribution system. All locational averages of TTHM and HAA5 tests were
within VDH compliance requirements.
Distribution and Collection System Maintenance
The Maintenance crew repaired water laterals on Rt.17, James Dr., York River
Dr., and Cedar Lake Dr. Prepared wet well and assisted contractor repair of
sewer force main at pump station #23. Cleaned grease form wet well at pump
