Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Chapter 6 Future Land Use Plan Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-1 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Chapter 6 Future Land Use Plan Introduction: This chapter describes the kinds, locations and intensities of land uses recommended for Accomack County. The purpose of the land use plan is to act as a guide for the Accomack County Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, other governmental bodies and the private sector as they make decisions that affect the county's physical pattern of development. The plan arises from the goals, objectives and policies stated in Chapter Five. Capabilities of the county's natural environment and the capacity of the public services system to support development are reflected in the plan. This chapter contains three parts: the first is a review of the population projections found in Chapter Three and identification of growth areas. The second is a written narrative describing important planning issues and the key concepts of the plan. The third is the Future Land Use Map for the County. Population Projections/Growth Indicators: A profile of past population trends and future population projections for Accomack County is found in Chapter Three, Inventory – The Developed Environment. This population profile indicates that Accomack County's population has increased slowly but steadily in recent years from about 31,700 in 1990 to about 34,500 in the year 2000, and to approximately 36,000 in 2005, based upon recent county trend growth rates (0.8% annually). The County's population is predicted to continue to increase, to 43,800 by 2030 at current trends, or up to 52,300 at the statewide trend growth rate (1.4% annually). Accomack County's growth can be attributed to an in-migration of population, which offsets the fact that mortalities annually exceed the rate of natural increase. This in-migration of new residents to the County and an aging existing housing stock (48% built prior to 1970) are consistent with trends prior to the 1997 plan. In 1996, it appeared that those trends were responsible for an annual increase in new housing that was about three times that of the population increase (2% annual housing increase, 0.6% annual population increase). However, during the 1990's, housing increased at about the same rate as population, as would be typically expected. (Yet, the percentage of houses older than 30 years actually increased one percent, although was off-set somewhat by the percentage of houses less than 10 years in age increasing by two percent). The population per household has also remained steady during the decade between the 1990 and 2000 censuses. Still, anecdotal evidence and larger societal trends would indicate that Accomack will be attractive to retirees in the baby boom generation. As improvements in telecommunications technology enable more workers to live farther from there main place of work (economists call it the "distributed work force") increasing numbers of working adults are likely to choose Accomack County. Based on these factors, the County should prepare for the possibility of Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-2 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 growth exceeding current population forecasts. The majority of residential subdivision activity and new home construction in recent years has occurred in the southern Bayside (Occohannock to Onancock Creek) and northern Seaside (Wachapreague north) portions of the County. Commercial activity has been mostly concentrated in the Accomac-Onley-Onancock area, the industrial park, and scattered along Route 13. Two developments in the 1990s that can be expected to influence future commercial activity are the designation of parts of Accomack County as an Enterprise Zone and progress towards the development of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island. The Enterprise Zone designation and development of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport and Wallops Research Park can be expected to lead to increased commercial and industrial development in the southern portion of the County (including the industrial park) and the Wallops Island/Wattsville areas respectively. Land Demand: The population projections for the County show a need to accommodate between 7,000 and 15,000 additional people during the next 25 years, depending on whether the growth rate is as forecast by the Virginia Employment Commission (less than 1 % annually), or whether the trend growth rate increases to the statewide rate (about 1.4 % annually). The amount of land needed to accommodate these potential future population increases depends on how much land is allocated or required per dwelling unit. This will depend in part on decisions made by landowners and developers, and in part on County policy for rezoning approvals, zoning and subdivision regulations, market demand, and provision of central water and wastewater treatment capacity. Based on current policies and regulations, it is reasonable to assume that the overall average amount of land needed for new residential development would fall within a range from one acre per dwelling unit to three acres per dwelling unit, depending upon the variables listed above. In projecting future residential land demand, as shown in the following table, it is assumed that 75% of new residential growth occurs in urban (town and village) areas and thus is more compact, with an average gross density of one acre per dwelling. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-3 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Projected Future Residential Land Demand (based upon County's corrections to 2000 U. S. Census) Trend Forecast "Trend Plus" Forecast (avg. 0.8% annual) (avg. 1.4% annual) Basic Data: Population 2030 43,800 people 52,300 people Population increase 7,900 new people 15,300 new people Additional Dwellings 3,160 new dwellings 6,120 new dwellings (at 2.5 people per household) Estimated Allocation (urban v. rural): Assume Moderately Compact Growth Pattern 75% "urban" 75% "urban" (25% rural, not (25% rural, not counted counted in this total) in this total) Additional acres needed (at avg. of 1.0 du/ac gross) 2,370 total acres 4,590 total acres Additional acres to be designated in Village Development Areas (two times the specific forecast) 4,740 total acres 9,180 total acres (rounded) 5,000 acres 9,000 acres Notes: Future residential dwellings in the rural, agricultural areas (Agricultural "A" District) are not shown in these calculations because most of the County is already zoned for such development, and it will occur "by-right" in response to market demand and landowner inclinations. (25% of future residential development is assumed to be in the rural/agricultural areas, which assumes a successful effort on the part of the County to attract growth to the designated village areas). The lure of the coastal areas for waterfront development, both in harbor villages and in agricultural areas, is sure to persist, and increase over time. Absent significant incentives to attract residential development to the vicinity of existing towns and villages, further amendments to the Agricultural Districts may be necessary to direct growth to areas prescribed in this plan. These calculations do not distinguish between in-town and out-of-town residential development. It is assumed that at least a small portion of future residential development will occur within the incorporated towns, but no specific estimate is made of that percentage for these calculations. Major Land Use Planning Issues: Several key issues directly affect planning for Accomack County land use. These issues address the relationship between land development and the County's resources. These issues include agricultural and forestry land preservation, groundwater protection, natural resource preservation, physical constraints to development, central water and wastewater treatment, the character of development, and the Route 13 highway corridor – all in the context of continuing population growth. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-4 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Agricultural and Forestal Land Preservation: Agriculture and forestry are important parts of Accomack County's economy and identity. In 1997 the County had approximately 82,560 acres of land in 22 agricultural and forestal districts. In 2007, the acreage was 80,215, nearly a 2.8 percent decrease in ten years. The land in these districts is protected by state "right-to-farm" legislation which prohibits local governments from restricting agricultural uses within the districts. These districts also offer protection from conversion to other non-agricultural and non- forestal uses and interference from surrounding uses. The pattern of development within the County can directly impact the viability of agricultural operations. Some of the most productive agricultural soils are also the most suitable for installation of septic systems. Therefore, agriculture is often in direct competition with residential development for land with prime soils. Much of the County's farmland also occupies land that would be desirable locations for waterfront home sites. Accomack County currently offers land use-value taxation on agricultural land, which bases taxes on the actual use of the land, rather than the fair-market value. This removes some of the pressure for land owners to develop agricultural land, although farm land continues to be subdivided and converted to residential use. This division of land results in pockets of residential development located in primarily agricultural areas. Fragmentation of farm land can affect a farm's viability, leaving tracts of land too small or segmented to farm efficiently. Conflicts often arise between home owners and farm operators over noise, dust, smell, chemical use, and hours of operation. The 2006 Agricultural Zoning District amendments allow clustering of residential development and provide the opportunity to buffer new residential development from intensive agricultural activity. Groundwater Protection: Groundwater is the only drinking water source for Accomack County. In 1976 the Virginia State Water Control Board designated the Eastern Shore as a Ground Water Management Area due to findings of groundwater level declines, well interference and localized groundwater contamination. Groundwater is supplied by the Columbia and the Yorktown- Eastover aquifers. The Columbia is a shallow unconfined aquifer with water quality generally not suitable for drinking, but suitable for irrigation and some manufacturing uses. The deeper, confined, Yorktown-Eastover aquifer is the county's drinking water source. This aquifer is recharged by rainwater infiltration. The 1992 Ground Water Supply Protection and Management Plan for the Eastern Shore of Virginia identified the area that recharges the deep aquifer as strip of land that runs along the central portion of the peninsula. The Plan calls for protection of this groundwater recharge spine from contamination threats and decrease in recharge rate due to creation of imperious surfaces. In 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated the fresh ground water that supplies all drinking water on the Eastern Shore of Virginia as the Columbia and Yorktown-Eastover Multiaquifer System Sole Source Aquifer. The 1999 Technical Analysis and Justification for Ground Water Ordinances on the Eastern Shore of Virginia documents the need to manage new development to protect our limited supply of ground water. Natural Resource Preservation: The County's natural resources base, including forests, fields, marsh, creeks, bays, and barrier islands, has economic, aesthetic, and recreational value, as well as being valuable habitat for a variety of wildlife. High quality surface water is important to the seafood industry and recreational users. The marshes and bays support aquatic life that is important to the development of fisheries. Good soils are essential for productive agriculture. The barrier islands provide important habitat for shorebirds and recreational opportunities for Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-5 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 residents and visitors. These resources, in combination, compose a natural system which is a unique asset to the Eastern Shore. Care must be taken to ensure that use of these resources does not degrade their value. Land that is not suitable for development, such as marsh land and the barrier islands, should be maintained in a natural state. Important habitat areas should be identified and the conservation of those areas encouraged. Best Management Practices should be used to lessen the impact of various land uses on natural resources. Physical Constraints to Development: Certain conditions of the physical landscape affect the suitability, safety and desirability of parts of the County for development. The main physical constraints to development in Accomack County are soil suitability for septic systems, flood hazard, and shoreline erosion. The distribution of soils types has profound impact on the pattern of development in Accomack County. The Town of Onancock and Tangier Island are the only areas in the county served by public sewage treatment systems. Since less than half of the soil in Accomack County is suitable for septic system use, large sections of the county are virtually undevelopable. Some areas of Accomack County experience significant amounts of shoreline erosion. Faced with an eroding shoreline that moves closer to their home each year, homeowners often resort to shoreline hardening structures such as bulkheads, riprap, breakwaters, and jetties. These structures are seldom permanent solutions to the problem and can actually increase the problem. The areas of Accomack County with the highest erosion rates are Bayside marshland and the Seaside barrier islands, which are unsuitable for development. The impact in areas with moderate to low erosion rates can be lessened through limited allowable development densities and shoreline setback requirements. The Route 13 Corridor: The Route 13 highway corridor is a significant feature of the County's landscape. The highway runs north-south along a ridge of high land in the center of the peninsula, dividing the Shore into "Bayside" and "Seaside" segments. The highway carries traffic through the County, supporting businesses along the highway, and it carries local citizens up and down the Shore to employment, shopping and services, many of which are located within the corridor. This mix of local and through-traffic creates a dangerous situation. Traffic lights added on developed sections of the road to increase safety decrease the efficiency of the road for through-traffic. Route 13 is a major thoroughfare and part of the National Highway System. If signals increase to the point that highway no longer functions effectively for through traffic, bypass and limited access alternatives may be sought. The Route 13 corridor should be managed to maintain its capacity to handle through-traffic in order to avoid construction of bypasses or a limited access highway which would further bisect the county and isolate existing businesses. Minimum setbacks from Route 13 should be expanded for all land uses. Increased setbacks will promote safety by improving site lines, allow room for shared entrances, reduce traffic noise, and ensure the availability of vacant land if future access roads are needed. In order to maintain the existing high speed sections of Route 13, future development should be limited to existing commercial centers such as T's Corner, Temperanceville, Nelsonia, Fisher's Corner at Route 176, Accomac, Onley, Melfa, Painter, and Belle Haven. These areas already have traffic signals and reduced speed limits to handle local traffic. Site plan review for development along Route 13 should be used to develop plans that minimize curb cuts, make use of joint entrances, and direct traffic to alternative entrances on collector roads when possible. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-6 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Central Water and Wastewater Treatment: The prospects for achieving a compact, traditional growth pattern that protects agricultural and environmental resources will be greatly increased if central water and wastewater facilities are available to more areas, in concert with the overall future land use plan. These systems could be County systems, Town systems, private systems, or some combination of these, including a new entity such as a service authority. The County will pursue the development of such systems in locations that are consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Wastewater treatment systems must be compatible with the surrounding environmental resources in terms of potential impact on groundwater and surface water quality, must be relatively small in size to be consistent with the County's traditional land use pattern as reflected in the Future Land Use Map, must have financing and management structures that ensure long-term viability, and must be funded mainly by the users of the system. Broad Constraints versus Site-Specific Constraints: The various important constraints to development in the County, such as poor soils for septic systems, and Agricultural and Forestal Districts (AFDs) can be viewed from two perspectives: 1) Broad constraints that apply generally to a large area 2) Site-Specific constraints that vary in intensity within the bounds of a specific tract of land or smaller area. Land use policies should provide guidance for both of these perspectives. Areas with severe and consistent constraints should have generally restrictive policies applied to them (for example discouraging rezonings and infrastructure expansions), whereas areas with variable constraints in which some sites or portions of sites have few constraints while others nearby have severe constraints, could have more permissive policies. Further, some areas have inherent conflicts between opportunities and constraints, such as portions of the Route 13 corridor that fall within the spine groundwater recharge area. In these cases, site-specific policies may be applied that allow for some development while simultaneously ensuring that some land is also protected. In general, the greater the constraints to development a property has, as shown on the land use analysis maps of this plan, the greater the restrictions the County will impose for on-site development of the property. Character of development (traditional patterns, human scale, pedestrian access, etc.) Many of the county's community development and preservation goals can be achieved or enhanced if new development occurs in a compact, traditional pattern, similar to the pattern that exists in the County's existing historic towns and villages. This pattern would feature generally interconnected street networks, mixed uses in the core areas, relatively narrow neighborhood streets, a variety of lot sizes and building sizes, generally deep lots, a variety of front setbacks in residential neighborhoods, and houses typically featuring sitting porches as the most prominent element of the front facade, rather than garage doors. This concept is particularly important and relevant in the expansion areas of existing towns and villages, such as around Onancock and Onley. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-7 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Future Land Use Analysis - Opportunities and Constraints: McHarg Analysis. Accomack County is located on a narrow peninsula, with various environmental and public facility resource constraints that have a generally linear overall pattern. This geography lends itself to a "McHarg" analysis of land use opportunities and constraints. This type of analysis is named after its inventor, the planner and landscape architect, Ian McHarg, author of the classic planning book Design With Nature. In this type of analysis, the major kinds of opportunities and constraints for human settlement are mapped. The maps are then overlaid on top of one another. When combined together into a single, multi-layer map, these overlays visually indicate the variations in levels of constraints for development between various areas. The resulting map shows the most suitable areas for future development. This process was carried out in October, 2006, using the County's Geographic Information System data. The key factors or data layers that were incorporated into the McHarg layers as constraints and opportunities were the following and mapped in gray tones: • Agricultural and Forestal Districts (AFD) • Coastal Buffer (1/4 mile setback) • Conservation lands (lands under easement) • Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection Areas (RPA) • Groundwater recharge spine (recharge to Columbia and Yorktown aquifers) • Wetlands • Soils (Bojac, Munden, others) • Proximity to existing towns (within ½ mile radius) • NASA launch pad buffers (20,000 and 10,000 feet) • Wallops Airport Accident Potential Zones • Existing Zoning (mapped as color layer) In the initial analysis, each of these factors were given essentially equal or proportional weight in terms of importance. During the course of the Planning Commission review, some layers were examined individually, such as Bojac soils and Agricultural and Forestal Districts, in order to consider circumstances in which one factor might overwhelm all other considerations in terms of its importance as an opportunity or constraint to development. The McHarg Analysis is summarized on Map 6-A. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-8 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Map 6-A Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-9 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Public Input. In addition to the GIS data, consideration was given to the input received from citizens at the public workshops in September 2006, regarding land suitability for development and conservation. At these workshops, a total of 15 small workgroups of citizens, representing a wide spectrum of viewpoints and geographic areas, brainstormed their ideas for the future land use pattern in the County, looking 20 to 30 years into the future. The amount of agreement among the groups was striking. The major themes that were broadly shared by the citizens at these meetings were: • Concentrate development around existing towns and villages • Provide for large lots (low density development) close to the water/shorelines • Provide for smaller lots (higher density development) close to services (towns and villages) • Cluster businesses on Route 13 • Preserve wetlands, groundwater, and agriculture. The Draft Future Land Use Map was presented at a series of four public meetings in January and February 2007, and revisions were subsequently made based on public discussion and comments. Ideas and issues discussed at these meetings included: • Affordable Housing • Economic Development • NASA • Subdivisions/Existing Development • Apply Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act to the Seaside • Need for better Stormwater Management and Erosion & Sediment Control Ordinances • Zoning Districts • Zoning Ordinance Review • Land Use Value Tax • Tax Assessment • Water Quality/Shellfish • Agriculture/Seafood/Forestry • Wastewater Treatment • PUD (Planned Unit Development) • Population/Carrying Capacity of the County • Sea Level Rise • Alternative Energy • Waterfront Protection • Public Safety • Public Access • Conservation Areas • Drainage • Infrastructure: Water & Sewer, Roads, Schools, Trash, Fire & Rescue • Roads/Route 13 • Enterprise Zone • Ground Water • Septage Lagoons • DEQ Policies • Mobile Home Parks/Substandard Housing • Poverty Map Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-10 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Future Land Use Plan Concept: The following narrative is a description of the concept for Accomack County's land use plan. The plan is illustrated through the Accomack County Future Land Use Map. Components of the future land use plan are based on: • population projections shown in Chapter 3, • growth and change indicators identified in the inventory section of this plan, • studies done by the Planning Commission in recent years, • input from citizens at large during the plan update process, described above, • the "McHarg" analysis described above, and • the policies set forth in Chapter Five. It is important to note that many land areas in the County are suitable for more than one use, and thus, "trade-offs" must be weighed and judgments made as to priorities. An example is the conflict between the opportunity for development along the Route 13 corridor due to its good access, and the fact that it is also generally the most important area for groundwater recharge, a constraint to development. Another example are areas bordering the shorelines, which need to be preserved in order to maintain water quality for local water-related businesses, yet are also places where many people wish to live, due to the scenic quality and water access. Overall guidelines for the future land use recommendations are generally consistent with those of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan, and are as follows: • Because Accomack County has adopted Agricultural and Forestal Districts which recognize designated land as, "land which requires conservation and protection of food and other agricultural and forestal products and as such is a valuable natural and ecological resource," land in Agricultural and Forestal Districts should be designated as Agricultural on the Future Land Use Map, except for certain areas that may be particularly suitable for other types of uses in the long-term; • Because most development occurring in Accomack County is dependent on septic systems for waste disposal and because the Health Department has identified Bojac soils as the soil type which will best support septic systems, areas which are not located in Agricultural and Forestal Districts and in which Bojac is the predominant soil type should be among those considered for future development. • In order to encourage development which is in character with historic and existing development patterns, location and density of development should be in keeping with the pattern of development around villages and towns and should conform to the comprehensive plans of incorporated towns where applicable. Similarly, land along the Route 13 and Route 175 corridors generally offers good opportunities to accommodate future development. However, one of the major conflicts for land use designations is the fact that the Route 13 corridor generally coincides with the groundwater recharge area. Thus, some trade-offs in priorities must be made. • Because of the importance and sensitivity of water resources to the County's economy, areas bordering the Bayside and Seaside shorelines, areas bordering creeks, and areas of wetlands, are not as suitable for development as most other areas. • Because of the importance of groundwater to the County's future, the groundwater recharge spine is an area that should also be preserved to the extent feasible. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-11 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Land Use Categories: Land use categories were developed for the 1997 Comprehensive Plan to promote a balanced, safe and orderly pattern of development. These categories reflect traditional land uses as well as the goals, objectives and policies of the 1997 plan, and remain appropriate as an organizing framework for the updated plan. These categories are used to develop revisions and updates to the Accomack County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, and in decisions regarding rezoning and special permit approvals. However, these categories are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of districts for zoning ordinance revisions. Any additional categories or sub-categories that promote the stated goals, objectives and policies of this plan may be developed and proposed. The general location of the land use categories described below are depicted on the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use Map designates the most desirable locations for various types of future development. A good deal of development has occurred over time in areas that have been determined to be undesirable for future development based on the criteria provided above. It is recognized that this existing development shall continue to exist in these areas and it is not proposed that areas currently zoned for a particular use be rezoned to a lesser use category. However, in areas where the existing zoning or pattern of use is inconsistent with that designated in the future land use plan, further extension of that use should be discouraged and development in surrounding areas should be consistent with that proposed in this plan. Conservation Areas: The purpose of Conservation Areas is to preserve and protect Accomack County's areas of ecological importance on which development of any intensity would be damaging or unsafe. Areas that should be in the conservation district include marshland and the undeveloped barrier islands. Allowable uses in the Conservation Area would include docks and piers, duck blinds and wildlife observation platforms constructed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Accomack County Wetlands Board. The County's target outcome for the Conservation Area in the long-term is to have no new development through regulations and conservation easements. Agricultural Areas: The purpose of Agricultural Areas is to provide an area for the production of agricultural and forestry products. Regulation of this area should minimize obstructions to the efficient and economical production of these products. Examples of the types of primary uses allowed in this district are agricultural and horticultural uses such as raising of crops, nurseries, orchards, vineyards, raising of livestock, forestry, poultry houses, sawmills, game preserves, and aquaculture operations. Residential uses would include housing for property owners, family of property owners, and those employed full-time on the property. Examples of secondary uses allowed in this area are single-family dwellings, accessory dwellings, cluster development, seasonal farm labor housing, public safety facilities, and other public uses. The County's target outcome for this area in the long-term is to have as little new non-farm development as possible, through zoning regulations, Agricultural and Forestal Districts, cluster Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-12 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 development, conservation development designs, and conservation easements. The target density for individual, developed properties in this area would be no greater than approximately one dwelling per five to ten acres, on average, and a far lower overall density. While a five to 10-acre density would, in theory, still exceed the ideal amount for these areas in the very long term, it would be low enough to limit the most serious and immediate impacts of residential development on natural resource systems, especially if carried out in a clustered pattern using conservation design techniques. However, even a 10-acre average density would be excessive if it occurred on every farm. Further, at current growth rates such a level of development would not occur for several decades. It is therefore critical that the county continually monitor the rate, location, and impact of all rural residential development activity. The county's number one planning objective is to "direct development towards existing population centers". Development patterns should be measured against this objective on an annual basis. If the county observes a multi-year trend of increasing rates of rural subdivisions combined with decreasing amounts of land in Agricultural and Forestal Districts, and/or in agricultural production, it should revisit the zoning regulations for residential development in the rural areas. Rezonings to higher intensities should not be approved in this area. Rural Settlement Areas: The purpose of the Rural Settlement area is to facilitate rural residential growth complementary to and in the vicinity of existing residential villages and hamlets that dot Accomack County's countryside. Examples of secondary uses allowed in this area are accessory dwellings, cluster development, public safety facilities, and other public uses. Clustering options could be provided to allow smaller individual lot sizes if a portion of the development site is set aside as open space. New rural settlement areas should be located along, but not necessarily fronting, existing roads with adequate capacity, on soils with good septic suitability, and/or adjacent to existing settlements or subdivisions. The County's target outcome for this area in the long-term is to blend new development with existing development in clustered, rural residential development that reflects and perpetuates the County's existing, historic land use pattern. Cluster development and conservation development designs are encouraged to blend with existing settlements. The target density for this area would be approximately one dwelling per two to three acres, on average. Rezonings to higher intensities should not be approved in this area. Residential Areas: The purpose of Residential Areas is to allow for new residential development in existing communities for those who chose to live on moderately sized lots. Examples of secondary uses allowed in this area are home occupations, public safety facilities, and other public uses. New Residential Areas should be located adjacent to existing residential areas located outside of flood zones that have roads with adequate capacity and soils with good septic suitability. The County's target outcome for Residential Areas in the long-term is to provide medium density residential development that reflects the surrounding area. The target density for this area would be approximately one dwelling per acre, on average. Rezonings to higher intensities should not be approved in this area. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-13 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Village Development Areas: The purpose of Village Development areas is to allow for a mix of residential and commercial uses in keeping with the traditional development pattern of Accomack County's villages and towns (subject to wastewater treatment capability). Primary uses in Village Development Areas would be single-family residential structures, including a range of lot sizes and densities, churches and parks. Allowable secondary uses would include multi-family structures, small- scale retail businesses, local offices, restaurants, professional services, schools, public safety facilities, and other public uses. These areas should be compact, with interconnected street networks, parks, sidewalks and a mix of uses, convenient to both motor vehicles and pedestrians. The County's target outcome for Village Development Areas is for the vast majority of future residential development to be located there, and that they be the major location of future neighborhood commercial and institutional development. Depending upon the mix of uses and the availability of central water and wastewater treatment, overall residential densities would be planned to be in the range of one-half to one acre per dwelling, on average, including a variety of lot sizes and dwelling types; thus net densities may be four dwellings per acre or higher. Rezonings to higher intensities, including Planned Unit Developments (PUD) should be encouraged in this area, provided that the policies of this plan are met, including the features listed above. The Village Development Areas are designed to meet the requirements of the new state legislation which requires the county to establish one or more "urban development areas" that can accommodate future growth by providing "for commercial and residential densities within urban development areas that are appropriate for reasonably compact development at a density of at least four residential units per gross acre and a minimum floor area ratio of 0.4 per gross acre for commercial development. The comprehensive plan shall designate one or more urban development areas sufficient to meet projected residential and commercial growth in the locality for an ensuing period of at least 10 but not more than 20 years, which may include phasing of development within the urban development areas." Development within designated Village Development Areas should occur in a pattern that blends with and complements the existing, traditional pattern of streets and lots within the historic areas. This would include generally narrow streets, a mixture of lot sizes and building types, generally narrow, deep lots, as well as walkways and on-street parking within the public right-of-way. It is critical that new development, including the extension of central wastewater treatment systems, be phased such that development will generally extend outward from the existing core of existing towns and villages. As development occurs, it is also critical that all streets and walkways be interconnected into a loose, grid pattern in order to disperse traffic, provide multiple routes between destinations, and create a pedestrian-friendly streetscape. In those places where a Village Development Area abuts the Route 13 corridor, it is essential that motor vehicle access be managed so as not to impede the efficiency and safety of Route 13. New development in such areas must keep new access points to Route 13 to an absolute minimum, must coordinate entrances and crossings with adjacent properties, and must provide necessary turn-lanes and any other safety measure that are appropriate to the specific site. Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-14 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Commercial Areas: The purpose of Commercial areas is to provide appropriate locations for a broad range of business activities which may be characterized by heavy traffic, noise, or other factors that could be considered a nuisance to residential uses. Examples of primary uses allowed in Commercial areas would include large-scale office complexes, banks, large-scale restaurants, theaters, large-scale retail stores, gas stations, service garages, recreational centers, warehouses and wholesale stores, funeral homes, large hotels and motels, public safety facilities, and other public uses. The County's target outcome for this area is that it be the location of large scale, intensive commercial enterprises, but that such development be clustered at key access points on Route 13 or Route 175, with managed access, and street connections to adjacent properties. Future commercial development must be required to provide adequate stormwater management and ground water protection, and should be held to reasonable standards with regard to the aesthetics of site design, architecture, landscaping, and lighting to minimize adverse impacts on the surrounding community. Industrial Areas: The purpose of Industrial Areas is to provide a suitable location for industrial activities with minimized interference from or impact to adjacent land uses. Examples of allowable uses would include light manufacturing, food preparation and processing, bottling plants, electronics production, metal fabrication, garment manufacturing, recycling facilities, inter-modal transportation of goods, warehousing facilities, public safety facilities, and other public uses. Industrial Areas should be located near adequate transportation facilities, including highway, railroad, and waterway access points. The County's target outcome for this area is that it be the location of large-scale, intensive industrial enterprises, with managed access, buffers and other regulatory controls to protect adjacent properties, and adequate stormwater management and groundwater protection. Amount of Land Designated: The total amount of land designed on the Future Land Use Map for each of the land use categories is shown in the table below. This total acreage is larger than the estimate of actual land demand, mainly due to the designation of substantial areas as "residential" which are aimed at reducing development pressure on the agricultural and conservation areas, and "rural settlement" areas, which are expansions of existing rural neighborhoods. In addition, some properties within each of the designated categories are either already developed or will not likely become developable in the foreseeable future. The "extra" total acreage suggests that the County needs to monitor development within the village development areas, including phasing development so it occurs as incremental extensions outward from the existing historic cores of each village area. Acreage of Future Land Use Areas Rural Settlement Area 3,002 Acres / 11 sites Rural Settlement Area B 1,424 Acres / 5 sites Residential Area 2,443 Acres / 11 sites Village Development Area 5,141 Acres / 23 sites Village Development Area B 1,821 Acres / 7 sites Commercial Area 887 Acres / 9 sites Industrial Area 1,997 Acres / 15 sites Agricultural Area 182,243 Acres Conservation Area 69,545 Acres Respecting the Past, Creating the Future: The Accomack County Comprehensive Plan 6-15 Chapter Six: Future Land Use Plan Adopted May 14, 2008 Criteria for Evaluating Development Proposals to Implement the Land Use Plan: Proposals for development, including applications to rezone property to a more intensive zoning district, will be evaluated from the site specific viewpoint as well as from the overall viewpoint of the entire designated Future Land Use Area. In making decisions about any proposal for development within any particular Future Land Use Area, the county will seek to achieve the proper balance or mix of land uses within the area, particularly with regard to the Village Development Areas. Because the Village Development Areas are depicted as general locations for a mix of urban uses, the county will monitor the balance of approved uses over the course of time. Thus, the approval of a particular use at a particular time within a Village Development Area does not mean that the same type of use will necessarily be approved later on an adjacent site, because a key purpose of this future land use area is to have the appropriate balance of uses and not necessarily all of one type. Applications to rezone property will be judged in light of all of the goals, objectives, and policies of this comprehensive plan, with the following criteria serving as primary factors. Failure to meet any one or more of these criteria may be sufficient basis to deny a rezoning. The relative importance given by the Board of Supervisors to each criterion will depend on the specific case, and the purposes of zoning as set forth in §15.2-2283 will also apply. 1. Location – the location of the proposal in relation to the Future Land Use Map designations (Chapter 6) and the location policies in the text of the plan (Chapter 5). 2. Supply of zoned land – whether or not the County currently has sufficient zoning capacity in the appropriate locations for the proposed uses, in relation to the projected land demand analysis contained herein. 3. Adjacent uses – whether the proposed uses are compatible with current and planned adjacent uses. (Consideration of proffered conditions to mitigate any incompatible aspects would also be a factor, as indicated in criterion #6). 4. Public facility capacity – the existing and planned capacity of water, wastewater treatment, roads (including traffic safety as well as capacity), schools, parks, emergency services, etc. (in the long term, the County should establish performance standards for public service delivery). 5. Environmental impact mitigation – whether the environmental impacts of the proposed uses can be adequately mitigated by the applicant. 6. Proffered conditions – whether the conditions proffered by the applicant are sufficient to mitigate all of the impacts caused by the development to a reasonable degree. 7. Overall pattern of future development in the Future Land Use Area – whether there is already a sufficient amount of land planned or approved for the proposed use, in which case the county may choose not to approve a rezoning that would add to that existing supply of zoned land. 8. Density – the density or intensity of proposed development on the site, as well as what the effect would be on the density of the overall area. 9. Land use mix – the mix of land uses on the site and what effect the proposed use would have on the overall land use mix in the area.

Hebrew Calendar
Weekly Torah Portion
Charlotte Gordon
I am a convert to Judaism and so when I first started coming to TAA, I worried that people would not accept me. I could not read one word of Hebrew and I had no idea how to follow the Shabbat service. My son was an infant who wiggled around and seemed to cry during every Amidah. I did not know the difference between Shavuot and Sukkot. Now, I feel like TAA is my home away from home; I have gone to Israel with a group from the congregation. My son has been bar-mitzvahed and is a helper in the Hebrew School; I am learning how to chant from Torah. Sometimes, I think all of this could only have happened at TAA.
In my first year at TAA, people I did not know (then) helped me when I was lost during services. Our rabbi taught me Hebrew. Gradually, I came to know people's names. I met their children, their parents. Older members of the congregation took me under their wing and taught me their traditions. I went to bar and bat mitzvahs. I went to the community Passover Seders. When my father died, it seemed like the entire temple came to my house and sat shiva. Never before had I felt such a strong sense of community.
I am typical of many Americans – a half-breed; my dad was Jewish; my mom is not – and I did not know where I belonged. But at TAA, I have learned how to bake a challah and how to sing Torah trope, how to follow traditions and how to change those traditions. Being a member of TAA is like joining a huge inter-generational family. After services, my son munches on bagels and hangs out with his friends while I talk to all the people I have come to know and love. TAA is a place we are proud of, a place that has helped me accept my Jewish heritage, a place that has helped me raise my son and a place that has taught me where I belong – right here, at Temple Achavat Achim.

Trespass charge dropped against Star reporter who photographed news event at Union Station
Reporter was ticketed after June incident in which he was headlocked and handcuffed for taking pictures at the GO Train station.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A charge of trespassing was withdrawn Friday against Toronto Star reporter Alex Consiglio in connection with a June incident outside Union Station in which he took a photo of an injured GO transit officer.
Crown prosecutor Geoff Kerr told the court Friday the charge had been dropped, three months after Consiglio's arrest drew statements of concern from Canadian Journalists for Free Expression and PEN Canada.
Consiglio had witnessed several Toronto officers rush toward the GO Transit track level at Union Station early on June 2. On the basis there could be breaking news, he followed and took a photo of an injured transit officer crouched beside the track. He was told he had to leave and moved on.
Earlier there had been a skirmish involving a man who had tried to open the doors of a moving train, and two GO Transit officers had been thrown onto the tracks.
After leaving through the station's exit doors, Consiglio saw an injured GO Transit officer being put into an ambulance and took a photo. He was then arrested. A Toronto police officer put him in a headlock before he was handcuffed and put into a police cruiser. His camera equipment and cellphone were taken away.
Although outside the building, he was apparently on Union Station property. Consiglio was later released and given a $65 ticket for trespassing, which he challenged, leading to his appearance in the Ontario Court of Justice. His camera and cellphone were also returned at the scene.
At the time, Anne Marie Aikins, media relations manager for Metrolinx, said news photographers must ask permission to take any photos at Union Station, even though members of the public are often seen snapping shots using smartphones.
CJFE described that as an "unreasonable expectation when there is sudden breaking news" and expressed concern about excessive use of force. "Journalists should not suffer intimidation for doing their job," said CJFE board member Peter Jacobsen.
PEN Canada likewise expressed concerns about Charter rights being violated and pointed out that it's not illegal to take pictures of police doing their duties, or to take pictures on private property that's open to the public, such as transportation centres, unless specifically prohibited by posted signs.
But on Friday Aikins said that there were "misunderstandings'' among GO security officers that day. "We realize sometimes breaking news events happen,'' she told the Star. If a journalist today was to take a photo under similar circumstances, he or she would not be charged with trespassing, she said. As long as the journalist is not putting anyone at risk and is not anywhere he or she is not supposed to be — such as jumping down on train tracks — taking photos of a breaking news event shouldn't be a problem, she said.
Consiglio said he was disappointed the charge was withdrawn because he'd been "looking forward to challenging what, if any, basis Toronto police and GO Transit officers had for cuffing me, charging me and impeding my right to photograph a breaking news scene.''
Based on reports from police and transit officers, Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash said at the time, "If somebody is, in the view of the people who are there, in the way … if they refuse to move back, then they can be arrested and officers are allowed to use reasonable force.
Consiglio said he was never in the way of any officer or paramedic on the scene.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
BEIT SHEMESH – It was only when her sons came at her with knives that she realized keeping quiet was not going to work.
For nine years, her rabbis had told her not to speak up about her husband's verbal, physical and sexual attacks. They assured her the abuse would pass, that if she obeyed his every wish the attacks would end and he would stop telling their grown sons she was a bad mother.
But when her sons began to threaten her, she knew it was time to leave.
Taking her youngest children, she turned to Yad Sarah, a highly regarded Israeli charity founded by former Jerusalem mayor Uri Lupolianski. The organization mainly focuses on medical services, but it also runs a domestic abuse division geared toward Orthodox Jews. A professional there directed her to Bat Melech, a shelter for battered religious women.
"It was amazing," said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous. "I was sure I was not a normal person and they were nice to me."
The wall of silence surrounding sensitive domestic issues in the haredi community has long been seen as an impediment to successfully addressing them. Yad Sarah and Bat Melech have sought to change the situation, and their efforts appear to be bearing fruit.
A decade ago, haredi community leaders rarely spoke openly about violence against women. Now leading rabbis are working with experts to fight abuse in the community.
"We've succeeded in that they talk about it publicly," said Shlomit Lehman, a professor of social work who founded the Yad Sarah domestic abuse division. "There was always family violence, but they kept it secret. Our connection with the community and leadership is stronger. There's discretion and professional care."
Lehman started the division in 2000 with two therapists. Now there are 16 serving 150 patients a month, making Yad Sarah the second-most active domestic abuse center in Israel.
Bat Melech, founded in 1995, runs two shelters and is expanding its Beit Shemesh facility. The Crisis Center for Religious Women, which refers abuse victims to professional care, is organizing an international conference slated for December 2014 on preventing violence and abuse in the religious community.
Until recent years, experts say, haredi rabbis would deal with cases of domestic abuse privately; only rarely would they make referrals to professionals or recommend divorce. Victims often were stigmatized and their children had a harder time finding marriage partners.
Both Bat Melech and Yad Sarah have made rabbinic outreach a central part of their strategies. Yad Sarah launched a rabbinic committee with representatives of Israel's major haredi organizations. Those leaders in turn instructed communal rabbis to refer battered women to the two organizations.
Bat Melech founder Noach Korman says only a minority of haredi rabbis still ignore domestic violence and most support his organization's mission.
Still, discretion remains a paramount concern for haredi rabbis, many of whom still refuse to advocate publicly for the two organizations. Leading haredi papers will not run ads for Bat Melech and Yad Sarah, though online haredi publications do cover them. Haredi schools also do not permit Yad Sarah to run seminars on domestic abuse for their students.
Though growing numbers of women have sought treatment in recent years, Korman and Lehman say work remains to be done. Bat Melech at times has to turn women away, in part because of the high number of children who sometimes accompany them. The shelters have served 800 women and, Korman estimates, more than 3,000 children.
"People aren't waiting," Lehman said. "They come when they're dating or in the first year of marriage, so there are more options. Their entire lives are ahead of them."

with the holy books teaching us how to live our lives, if the Haredi doesn't abide, then they are phony Jews. It is time the Gedolim set up a judicial panel to have abused Jews come to them to seek assistance from their abusers. Judaism is a beautiful way of life and these scum should be excumunicated from it to keep us untarnished and pure.

"He was like everyone else," she said. "He was serious. He wouldn't mess around. He would do what I said. He was quiet a lot and thought a lot. He did everything well."
More than having a hand on the wheel, the year since the formation of the new government has seen Jewish Home and the coalition's other smaller parties driving much of the government's agenda. Netanyahu's Likud party has taken a back seat on everything besides security affairs.

It means how many honors have you received. For example, we're you honored by the French Foreign Legion? Or did you receive the Congressional Medal of Honor? Perhaps you've read all the novels of Honore de Balzac, or earned the "100% Completion" badge in Medal of Honor. Stuff like that.

I'd recommend mixing the lofty with the mundane. Have you honored thy mother and father? Any Cub Scout honor or merit badges? My brother-in-law once received the honor of being Top Employee of the Week at a Denny's Restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. Oh dear, I hope I don't get censored for having offended the editors.

Red Maple Grove formed sixteen years ago in 1999. We have had roughly ten to twelve ADF members over much of that period and a number of other people identifying as Red Maple and various others participating in our activities. That remains so today with new members and participants replacing some earlier ones who have moved on, some to other groves in the Ottawa area. Current members wishing to have a bio here are invited to let me know and send me their bio.
According to our bylaws, elections are held at our Annual General Meeting on or around Samhain, and terms are for two years, from Samhain to Samhain. Those currently serving the Grove in leadership roles include Green (Michael McKenny) as Senior Druid and Sheila Woodgold as Scribe.
Green (Michael McKenny) was born in Ottawa and has lived up and down the Ottawa Valley. He joined ADF at Imbolc 1999 and has been with Red Maple since its beginning around that time. His academic background includes an Honours BA in Latin and Classical Civilization. He is a voracious reader and student of human archaeology, anthropology, spirituality and literature. Some of his encounters in these fields may be observed at: http://www.alsandor.net/solarguard/index.html.
Farrell McGovern (Tecchno Druid)ADF member since 1997 and Red Maple Grove member since 2002, Farrell's hearth cultures are Celtic and Greek. He has served on the ADF Mother Grove, first as Chronicler (Editor-in-Chief of Oak Leaves, then as the first Regional Druid for Canada. Previous to being in Red Maple Grove, he was member of Silver Fox Grove in Montreal. You can read more about him here
Wally Harris member for the past ten years enjoys performing music.
Erin - My name is Erin and I have been a member in good standing of ADF since October 2008 as a member of Red Maple Grove, Ottawa. . I have identified as "pagan" since 1993. I help maintain my grove's website and I write liturgy for the grove. I have been the Deputy Regional Druid for the last 6 months. Currently, I am working on my Dedicant's Path. I also coordinate Ottawa's Druidic Monthly Brunch/Lunch. I am on the mediation triad for my grove, as well as the public outreach triad. Previously, I helped organize Ottawa's "Fire in the Hearth" conference in July 2009 whose featured guest was Isaac Bonewits. I was the facilitator of the children's activities at Kaleidoscope Gathering (the largest pagan gathering in Canada located near Eganville, Ontario) for several years. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Anthropology and a B Ed. as I was a teacher for 7 years in the elementary and middle school Catholic and Public School Boards. I am bilingual in French and English. I am also a recent cancer survivor of 3 stage 4 cancers.
I'm also running for Regional Druid of Eastern Canada.

25.A Boy Juggling a Soccer Ball
after practice: right foot
to left foot, stepping forward and back,
to right foot and left foot,
and left foot up to his thigh, holding
it on his thigh as he twists
around in a circle, until it rolls
down the inside of his leg,
like a tickle of sweat, not catching
and tapping on the soft
side of his foot, and juggling
once, twice, three times,
hopping on one foot like a jump-roper
in the gym, now trapping
and holding the ball in midair,
balancing it on the instep
of his weak left foot, stepping forward
and forward and back, then
lifting it overhead until it hangs there;
and squaring off his body,
he keeps the ball aloft with a nudge
of his neck, heading it
from side to side, softer and softer,
like a dying refrain,
until the ball, slowing, balances
itself on his hairline,
the hot sun and sweat filling his eyes
as he jiggles this way
and that, then flicking it up gently,
hunching his shoulders
and tilting his head back, he traps it
in the hollow of his neck,
and bending at the waist, sees his shadow,
his dangling T-shirt, the bent
blades of brown grass in summer heat;
and relaxing, the ball slipping
down his back. . .and missing his foot.
He wheels around, he marches
over the ball, as if it were a rock
he stumbled into, and pressing
his left foot against it, he pushes it
against the inside of his right
until it pops into the air, is heeled
over his head--the rainbow!--
and settles on his extended thigh before
rolling over his knee and down
his shin, so he can juggle it again
from his left foot to his right foot
--and right foot to left foot to thigh--
as he wanders, on the last day
of summer, around the empty field.

If anywhere, in the deserted schoolyard at twilight,
forming a ring, perhaps, or joining hands read more »
36.In Childhood
things don't die or remain damaged
but return: stumps grow back hands,
a head reconnects to a neck,
a whole corpse rises blushing and newly elastic. read more »
