Short Term Rentals (STR) – City Council deferred a final vote on any STR policy until late May timeframe. On April 3rd Councilman Jones proposed a draft ordinance that permits home-sharing by-right and only requires registration with the Commissioner of Revenue Office. Short term rentals are permitted by-right in the Sandbridge SSD, Ocean Front Resort District, and the North End overlay. In all other parts of the City, short term rentals would require a conditional use permit. Where short term rentals are permitted by-right or where they require a conditional use permit, they must adhere to 11 conditions. Updates on STRs can be found at https://www.vbgov.com/residents/homes-neighborhoods/Pages/online-home-sharing-economy.aspx

REAL-TIME ELECTRONIC SPEED FEEDBACK DISPLAYS EVALUATION: SHORE DRIVE TEST CASE

Posted on by

The Traffic Engineering Division of the City of Virginia Beach (CVB) has conducted a test to evaluate the effectiveness of “Real-Time Electronic Speed Feedback Displays” (RTESFDs) at improving compliance with the posted speed limit. Shore Drive in the Cape Story area was utilized as the test case area and the CVB’s existing trailer mounted RTESFDs were utilized for the evaluation. The purpose of the study was to determine if the devices are effective at improving compliance with the posted speed limit, and if so, to what degree is speed of traffic modified, and is the change sustainable. Locally, the City of Norfolk has utilized these devices, however before and after data were not collected so the performance could not be evaluated.

The eastbound 3600 block of Shore Drive near the intersection of Dinwiddie Road has been reduced to one lane for emergency water main repairs.

In 2007, Virginia Beach leaders divided the Shore Drive project into four phases. The first, between Treasure Island and Marlin Bay drives, was completed in 2008.

The newest phase the city wants to fund is still a ways off from construction – it’s scheduled to start in 2023.

Hopefully, it can be done sooner, said Vice Mayor Louis Jones, who represents that part of the city.

The City Council will hold a workshop to discuss short term rentals on April 17, 2018.

You’ve heard of blockchain and ICO?

Blockchain at Wikipedia:

A blockchain,[1][2][3] originally block chain,[4][5] is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.

ICO at Investopedia:

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks.

One recent example of a technology firm VB Econ Dev brought here.

We’ve heard our Virginia Beach Economic Development team is working with partners to create unique opportunities to create funding sources to help with 3 possible vital items for VB’s sustainable growth & preservation of our unique culture.

Good morning Phil,

After Tuesday’s email, Scharlene Floyd (COE) called to briefly talk about the extension/modification.
She thinks a meeting (w/her and Sheri, DEQ) has merit and suggested later this month at Clark Nexsen.

We think its wise to meet and include the following attendees: you, Chris W, Dave, Danny, COE (Scharlene & Greg Steele (?)) and the DEQ.
In terms of venue/date, we suggest mtg. at Clark Nexsen the last week of March (both the COE and DEQ are open Friday, March 30).

Are you amenable & does March 30th work or do we need another date for you ?

Please advise if you want me to canvass others and/or send an email invite ?

Thanks,

Dan,

The cost was $1,138,799.24 to construct and was designed by Clark-Nexsen (A&E)

There is also a line item to remove this wharf in the amount of $32,142.47

There is about 753,000 lbs. of salvageable sheet pile in the temporary wharf. At $0.20/lb of scrap value that would equate to $150,600.

So, we expect a change order to be approximately ($150,600-$32,142) $118,000.

Thanks,
-Chris

Chris,

Need some cost information and history on the wharf.

What was the cost to construct?

What is the estimated cost for it to remain? (assume we are due a credit for removal labor and disposal cost minus any salvage value)

Was the facility designed by the project A/E or did the contractor design it based on their operational needs and equipment?

That is all.

Thanks,

Dan

Stormwater was scheduled to provide a briefing on Ashville on January 16. That has been cancelled pending the development of more details of the cost sharing with HomeFed. However, please start roughing a presentation out. We may have to do it on February 6.

In its place on January 16, Coastal will provide a briefing on the Lesner Municipal Wharf. Dave does want some cost information about how much this cost us to construct, and how much it will cost us to make it permanent.

The Central Beach District Briefing will have to occur on February 6 because that is the day that Dave is taking the ordinance to City Council. I will discuss with him February 20, but don’t count on that. I will help work on this presentation. We will need to address the issues raised the last time we tried this. My notes of the November 21, 2017 Council meeting are included below:

Have questions about work on Shore Drive & storm water on east side of Lesner ? Join us March 26th!

Posted on by

Thanks to Mr. Vanderwarker for answering a few questions from our meeting last week:

Gentlemen,
Here are a few follow-up answers for questions you had on Friday.

· SAND DUNES and SHORE DR. FLOODING FALL 2016
Mr. Damon, your observations are correct. Cape Henry Beach historically had a wider taller dune field and was a “stable” to “accretional” beach for many years. Historically the toe of dune and shoreline position have been slowly advancing bayward over time.

CIP 8-020 Bay Beaches Resiliency was established in the FY 18 CIP to study and address erosion along Cape Henry and Ocean Park beaches. We are in the early study phase. This projects initiates the preliminary planning, design, and permitting framework necessary for instituting a beach management program for Cape Henry and Ocean Park beaches. The project will determine the required beach profile to provide protection to upland structures, apply for State and Federal permits, and development of a funding strategy for a long-term erosion control and storm protection project.

Regarding the lag effect of groundwater that percolated and inundated some parts of Shore Drive in the Fall of ’16; for a storm of this magnitude, we believe there is little to no correlation between the dune erosion and rainfall flooding. Keep in mind that Tropical Storm Hermine and Tropical Storm Julia supersaturated the soils prior to Hurricane Matthew’s arrival just two weeks after Julia. We understand that neither Isabel nor Nor’Ida (Nor’ida having the largest tidal inundation we’ve seen) were as bad as Matthew for this condition. Citizens have also reported the upward movement of groundwater even over at Cape Story By the Sea at the lower elevation properties (3.5 to 4), as there are adjacent higher properties near 10.0. See attached.

If you have any further questions, please direct them to Mr. Dan Adams, Office 757-385-4783 or DAdams@vbgov.com.

· SHORE DRIVE CITY WEBSITE
Yesterday I provided the Project Manager’s name, Mr. Bill Purcell, (757) 385-4887, WPurcell@vbgov.com if you wish to publish just the plan sheets to the website.

· SHORE DRIVE PH III DRAINAGE NEAR THE ROW LINES
For our meeting with the SDCC March 26th, I will bring you a few Shore Dr. PH III plan sheets and cross sections to show how the project handled drainage near the roadway toe of fill areas, and how either supplemental drainage structures were provided or small ditch systems. (Emphasis ours.)

· NEW DITCH TECHNOLOGIES – NEW PRODUCTS TO ENCOURAGE GREEN BUT BE MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY
Ditches will always need maintenance, as sedimentation is a foregone conclusion… But to fulfill both objectives above is very tough… a concrete lined channel may (not always) be easier to maintain for cleaning, but they are not green. If they break up or deteriorate though, a stream restoration project is usually needed to mitigate.

While natural ditches are green, and can grow vegetation, but in this coastal environment they can try to turn into a wetland area.

While some proprietary products are “hybrid” ditches that allow growth “through” concrete blocks and have a protective lining, sediment still has to be removed. During maintenance operations, the danger is that some of the excavator’s bucket “teeth” can grab the material, thus pulling it up, which can be a nightmare since the mats are overlapped (shingled).

PW OPERATIONS did not have new technology solutions that would fit your request.

· ACCEL/DECEL LANE NEAR WESTMINSTER CANTERBURY
There is a proposed dedicated 150’ right turn storage lane with a 150’ taper transition into the Westminster Canterbury site…beyond that entrance, there is continuous accel/decel lane all the way down to Kleen St.

Best Regards,

Brad

City Council will be deferring vote on STR scheduled for March 20th

Posted on by

via City Council will be deferring vote on STR scheduled for March 20th

The basis for law is a fair and unbiased application. If some Short Term Rentals require Conditional Use Permits (CUP)  compliance while other areas do not, you have an unequal application of the law. If someone violates the CUP, how can the city then hold that party in violation?  Without a fair and unbiased application of the law, you will have no law. If there is a need for a CUP, then all areas need to comply. We should all comply with the same laws equally, if I remember my HS Civics correctly.
