On June 8, the City of Virginia Beach Department of Planning launched the first phase of an online building permit and inspection tool available via the city’s Web site, VBgov.com. This phase of the project allows citizens and business-people to inquire about the status of a building permit and view inspection results, as well as browse by permit address or contractor.

On Tuesday May 18th I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend a Joint Logistics Over The Sea (JLOTS) demonstration at Fort Story.  It was an opportunity of a lifetime from which I gained much respect for the operations and ability of the soldiers right in our back yard.  The following are some of the photos taken during the event.

There will be a SDCC special projects meeting regarding the following topics:

Oyster Roast Planning
Membership and communications
Fire Safety survey

President Todd Solomon called the meeting to order at 7:40 PM.  Sixteen members and guests were present.

Two candidates for City offices were present to talk to us and answer our questions.

A new telephone hotline has been established by the Department of Public Works to disseminate information on West Nile virus. 

Citizens can call the West Nile virus hotline at 563-1590 to hear information about the virus and its current activity in Virginia Beach. 

The Shore Drive Advisory Committee will meet Thursday, May 13 at 3:30 p.m. but not at the usual location.  This meeting will be in Room 204 of the Hampton Roads Agricultural Research and Extension Center at 1444 Diamond Springs Road. 

If anyone is free on Thursday May 13th, this may be a good opportunity to gather information and voice your opinion regarding the bike trail improvements along Shore Drive on both sides of the Lesner Bridge.  As you all are aware, the last survey performed regarding bike paths and usage showed the Shore Drive trail as the most important in the City by a factor of 2 to 1 over the next highest rated trail.

It would also be a good time to bring up the possibility of adding/hanging a multipurpose path extension on the Lesner bridge.

This meeting is slightly different from the Planning Commission meeting on May 10th and should be a better chance to have our opinions heard.

Dear Sir or Madame,
