The matters to be considered at the public hearing are:

(1) The town bodies will receive public comment regarding a proposal from John P. Custis, Attorney, as Agent for Owners, for town approval, pursuant to the Melfa Subdivision Ordinance and a deed and plat to be recorded pursuant to Va. Code §15.2-2275, to, contingent upon approval of certain other proposals described herein, consolidate the Affected Parcels, with the new consolidated parcel containing the former Affected Parcels to be designated as “Lot 1A, ” containing a total of 1.858 acres. If approved, this proposal would vacate the separate interior lot lines separating the former Affected Parcels on plats recorded in the Clerk’s Office for the Circuit Court of Accomack County in Plat Book 3, Page 42, in Plat Book 6, Page 84, and would further vacate such interior lot lines as were also previously shown for the Affected Parcels on a certain plat attached to the deed recorded by the Owners in the afore said Clerk’s Office as Instrument #201403724.

(2a.) The town bodies will receive public comment regarding a proposal from the aforesaid Agent for Owners, contingent upon approval of certain other proposals described herein, to amend the future use map of the Melfa Town Plan to change the future use of current Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12 from “Residential” to “Commercial.” In the current Town Plan, the future use of current Lots 1 and 2 is already “Commercial.” If Proposals (1) and (2a) are approved, the amended Town Plan would designate the future use of all of the consolidated Lot 1A as “Commercial.”

(2b.) The town bodies will receive public comment regarding the following possible alternative to the Owners’ proposal (2a.). In its Resolution of Referral of these matters to the Planning Commission, the Town Council, without, at that time, expressing any predetermination by Town Council as to whether the proposals by the Owners should be approved, modified, or disapproved, asked the Planning Commission to study, the possibility of amending the future use map of the Melfa Town Plan to change the future use of current Lots 1 and 2 to “Residential” from “Commercial.” If Proposals (1) and (2b) are approved, the amended Town Plan would designate the future use of all of the consolidated Lot 1A as “Residential.”

(3a.) The town bodies will receive public comment regarding a proposal from the aforesaid Agent for Owners, contingent upon approval of Proposals (1) and (2a.) to amend the zoning ordinance to rezone current Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12 from “Residential, Mixed(R-2)” to “Commercial, Highway (C-H).” In the current zoning ordinance, Lots 1 and 2 are already in the C-H district. If Proposals (1), (2a), and (3a) are approved, all of the consolidated Lot 1A would be in the C-H district for purposes of the zoning ordinance.

(3b.) The town bodies will receive public comment regarding the following possible alternative to the Owners’ proposal (3a.). In its Resolution of Referral of these matters to the Planning Commission, the Town Council, without, at that time, expressing any predetermination by Town Council as to whether the proposals by the Owners should be approved, modified, or disapproved, asked the Planning Commission to study, the possibility of amending the zoning ordinance to rezone current Lots 1 and 2 from the C-H district to the R-2 district. If Proposals (1), (2b), and (3b) are approved, all of the consolidated Lot 1A would be in the R-2 district for purposes of the zoning ordi- nance.

The Owners have recorded an initial conceptual plan for Lot 1A, which is available for public inspection in the aforesaid Circuit Court Clerk’s Office as the plat attached to the deed recorded there as Instrument # 201403724. In their proposals to the Town, the Owners have amended their initial conceptual plan by adding Lot 9 to the consolidated Lot 1A. In their proposals, the Owners have indicated an intent, if their proposals or alternatives acceptable to them are approved by the town, to apply to the zoning administrator for a permit to initiate use of the consolidated Lot 1A as a church facility. The zoning administrator is enabled by the current zoning ordinance, following the approvals by Town Council which are the subject of the current proceedings, to issue such a permit, upon payment of the fee required by law, for new use of church facilities in either the C-H district or the R-2 district, provided that all requirements of the zoning ordinance (including setbacks, sideyard requirements, adequate off-street parking, etc.), the subdivision ordinance, and other applicable laws have been met.

The public may inspect the Owners’ proposals and the alternatives suggested for study by Town Council at the Town Hall prior to the public hearing.

Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission may provide its recommendations to the Town Council, and the Town Council may act upon the proposals and recommendations without further notice. 32 • Eastern Shore Post • December 9, 2016
