Having grown upj just outside of Onancock and having myi first job cutting grass (gaining access to this job by canoe by the wayl), having lived in Onançock, and now being a very big supporter of1 the Town and investor ini the Town, llove the place and will always be a supporter of the businesses and people of our great Town -I Isuspect that 75% ofr my! lunchtime budget goes tot the restaurants of Onancock, and lam eternally grateful to be on that meal plan! Icurrently own several properties through various entities in1 Town, and am currently working on some new projects that I believe will be very beneficial if they come to fruition. Our Town is an amazing place. Ihave seen the ups and downs throughout the years. Needless to say, Id don'tt think that anyone would argue that we are needing private capital to assist in continuing the revitalization as the years march on, especially ini the downtown area. The energy around the Main Street Initiative is fantastic and the business friendly pushes of the Town Manager have been very welçome (i.e. BPOL tax elimination But we must remember, in order to continue to attract private capital, we must noti forget that the policies and ordinances we adopt exemplify the attitude and desires of our Town, and are taken very seriously when folks determine where to invest their capital. Onancock is fantastic, but not the first place people look toi invest - continued improvement is needed and the implementation of business friendly policies is still important for attraction and All that being said, Ihave some grave concerns regarding the proposed ordinances the Town is considering at Monday night's public hearing. Iwill be out of town on Monday and will be unable to attend, but wanted to make sure that my concerns were of record andi the Council knew howj just one citizen and taxpayer felt about their actions. With respect tot the paper street ordinance, lwonder if the Council has considered the true cost to private owners of this ordinance. There are individuals in Town that own lots that are close to pulling permits, that now will likely be stuck with lots that are worthless and unbuildable. Does the Council understand that to build a road to VDOT specs could potentially costs tensi if not al hundred thousand dollars depending oni its length (i.e. engineering, permits, VDOT specs, drainage, curb/guttering. Stormwater management, etc...)-we: aren'ttalking a private driveway.we: are talking a major investment that is completely untenable without a large amount of density to assisti in paying fori it. lwonder as well if the Council has considered just how many paper streets are left in Town (by a quick search, it appears that possibly only 3to! 5 areas of concern remain). Isit really necessary' to puts such burden on very few people? Is this truly something in Iknow ofs several lot owners that will be negatively affected by this ordinance located off Kerr Street, lot owners that are wonderful private citizens trying to bring economic development to our town - including the possibility of some affordable housing that we alll know is desperately needed in Town and Accomack County. The proposed ordinance, as  tot the short-term rental Ordinance.  among others). Icompliment you, the Council and the Town Manager for these efforts.  improvements of areas like downtown.  the besti interest of our taxpayers?  1    drafted, is very negative towards private development, private capital and thei is overall not business friendly. Ifthe Town does not want to be on the hook for some oft these paper streets, there is already an option under the law...simply formally abandon the paper street as permitted by' Virginia Code. The issue then becomes one of private concern between private landowners, and does not require such overly burdensome investments for Town infrastructure that clearly has not been aj priority oft the Town for decades given that mosti if not all of the paper street issues at hand are for roads dediçated decades ago. Again, we are talking about 30 or 4 situations at max, so why punish those trying to better our Town? Please know, this ordinance, if passed, will show the public that the Town does not welcome folks willing to take a risk to bring housing to our town. Quite the contrary...to: speak very personally and bluntly, I know of personal opportunities and client opportunities that likely will pause, or even' worse cease, due to such With respect to the Short Term Rental Ordinance - lwonder how much revenue these licenses have provided to the Town VS. how many headaches the short term rentals have caused for our law enforcement or neighbors. Believe me,! acknowledge the importance of zoning and control, andi it surely is due ina areas where current citizens expect privacy and quiet - but aren't we looking to encourage foot traffic in our Town? Don't we want visitors to frequent our businesses and restaurants? Not every' visitor is wild party animal that negatively affects an area. lam but one person, but! Iwonder if there isav way to open our doors to short term rentals in certain zoning districts (downtown maybe? Business? Commercial?) Vs. focusing solely on putting very strict regulations on those just trying to showcase our amazing Town (and an ordinance that to be honest believe has some major legal problems). Icould go on, but I just wanted to share my concerns with you and Council as you make some very important decisions int the coming weeks and months on these important issues. While these may not be extremely meaningful to individual members of Council ori the public, I can promise that the resounding discussion among private investors and the business community, at last the ones that Ihave been talking to recently, see this as an attack on the attraction of private capital. This is not what we want or need for our future. Personally, my appetite for interest ini investing in town is chilled by these proposed ordinances... hope that there is ai full and practical discussion regarding these matters Ithank you, the Council and our Town Manager for your continued efforts to better our Town. Your jobi is a thankless one - believe me -Igetit. But please know the decisions you make are impactful and will have real meaning for our owners, residents, taxpayers, interest in new projects, andi for the perception of our Town to attract private capital in the future. Thank you for your consideration of these thoughts iny your deliberation next Monday night.  unfriendly positions by Council.  before any such negative restrictions are placed on the books.

Please submit this My wife and I own two lots on Marshall Street Extended. The lots are accessed by a paper street. We always anticipated providing our own access to the lots at our expense. We did not anticipate having to build a road to state specs and never considered building a road that connected with Waples Street. The value of the lots we own would not support the cost of aroad built to VDOT specifications, rendering them unbuildable and without value if your proposal passes. In our opinion, the highest and best use for these lots would most likely be some type of affordable housing, whichl believe many council Ina an email last February, Matt Spuck wrote to me; "We would love to have these parcels developed to add to the Onancock community'.lhope the town council's position tonight will be consistent with Matt's welcoming words.  letter to public record at Monday night's meeting.  members support.

Ann Capasso  9    Matt Spuck From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Hil Matt,  Ronald Cicero Captxonceverzonnet) Monday, February 28, 20228:35AM Our Public Hearing Comments  Matt Spuck  engyergmmanarnacom: Captain Ron; Harry Parker  Regarding the Public Hearing to solicit public comment for changes to Town Ordinance 6-1001 to 6-102 taking place on As you know, Nancy and lare currently working towards building our home on lots located at the end of Merry Lane Right-of-Way. Although we would love to attend the hearing in order to provide our inputi in person, that is not possible due to other commitments. Therefore please accept this email with our comments below fori inclusion with other  Monday evening.  peoplescomments in lieu of our attendance. Essentially the main areas of concern are:  1. 6-102.3 requires thei improved ROW to be held1 to a VDOT standard as defined and published by' VDOT for streets matching the size and use of the street post development. It seems to us that the standard for street quality would be more fairly addressed by requiring a quality of construction that is equal to the adjacent street(s) of which the street being constructed willi interface with. It does not seem fair to expect a private individual to install a street of al higher quality and therefore greater cost than that which already exists. And with regard to our specific project on Merryl Lane, iti is a2 200' dead end road that will: supporti ingress/egress to no more than 3 homes. Sot to hold us to a standard that is greater than the streets already in place at that 2. 6-102.4 requires the project to be "formally put to bid";t this does not seem fair or logical in every instance. Government projects typically require this approach in order to deter nepotism, favoritism and fraud however when private individuals or businesses undertake projects, they select the best man/company for1 the job based on meetings, references, capability and cost. Iti is at far more efficient process than putting the project out for formal bid. Considering you are a current business owner, it would: seem that you can understand this to be true. Nancy and lcurrently own 2 successful small businesses and I have over 23 years prior experience int the corporate world performing similar job functions. Had the "formal bid" approach been used for any of my projects over the past 45 years, ity would not have resulted in the same successes. Additionally, there are very few resources in the Onancock area for this type of project; to date we have been able to locate only one contractor that is willing to take on such as small project as Merry Lane's ROW. Although we attempted to engage Branscome Incorporated, a much larger company, the Regional Manager declined interest without explaining his reasoning, we can only assume that our project is just too small for such al large company. Therefore we are left withj just one contractor sO placing our project up for bid would be at total waste of our time, our efforts and our money. If the Town requires a "formal bid" process, then they are more than welcome 3. Itis also our feeling that the Town ordinance should include addressing issues where there are previously constructed paved driveways or structures located within the ROW periphery that would interfere with the new construction project. In all likeliness they would have been built without permits and must be removed prior to start of the permitted ROW improvement project. Responsibility for this action needs to originate from the Town and not bei imposed ont the land owner or developer. Our specific situation is that Merry Lane ROW hasa tar driveway that projects about 15' into the 40' wide ROW which will need to be removed prior to excavation  location is excessive.  to also perform and pay for the ROW improvement project.  ID    and construction oft the new street. The driveway's homeowner should be approached by the Town to address complete removal of said driveway back to their property line and not defer or impose this responsibility on us.  Please have the above entered as our public comment for changes to Town Ordinance 6-102.  Thanks and have a nice day, Ron & Nancy Cicero  I    Sec. 38-77.

Real Estate taxes (see COV $58.1-3321 Notice)  a. The current assessments have increased by an average of 18.8%, many of our residents b. The Town's current Real Estate tax rate is $.32/$100 of Assessed Value : The proposed tax rate int this budget is lowered to $.29/$100 Assessed Value d. The current Year to Date revenue from Real Estate Tax is $397,277 e. The Effective Tax Rate increase, as disclosed in the Notice mentioned above, is 7.4% f. Current Year Actual Real Estate Taxes times the Effective Rate Increase is $426,675 Our current rate of collection on Real Estate Taxes is 93.1% h. The proposed budgeted revenue from Real Estate on the 2023 proposed budget is  have received that notice from Accomack County  $409,037  - The budget is slightly conservative as collection rate may go down slightly with  such a dramatic increase in assessed value.  2. Two strategic recommendations are included in the with Personal Property Tax budget: a. Change tax rate on tax types CE (computer equipment), HE (heavy equipment), FE  (farm equipment), and TP (business tangible) to zero.  This eliminates the liability for personal property taxes on businesses 1. This makes Onancock a less expensive place to do business and should attract and retain high quality businesses to Onancock - This budget proposes a reduction int tax rate on tax type VH from $2/$100 assessed value down to $1.70/$100, easing the tax burden on residents 1. The pre-workshop budget had a rate of $.85, this was per County bill (they bill twice per year per vehicle). The property book we get from the County shows 2 bills per vehicle. The calculation to generate the same amount of tax revenue form the vehicles with the increased assessment  b. The assessed value on personal vehicles (tax type VH) has increased by 22%  decreases the rate from $2 to $1.70 per year.  15 North Street I Onancock, Virginia 23417 I 757,787.3363 I onancock.com  39    ONANCOCK 1680 VIRGINIA'S EASTERN SHORE  Town Council: Ray Burger, Thelma Gillespie, Cynthia Holdren, Joy Marino, Sarah Nock and Maphis Oswald  Mayor: Fletcher Fosque / Town Manager: Matt Spuck  Notice Required by COV558.1-3321 1.

Totalassessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year's total assessed value of real  property by 18.8%.  2. Lowered Rate:  a.

This rate will  bel known as the "lowered tax rate."  3. Effective Rate Increase:  a. The Town of Onancock proposes to adopt ai tax rate of $.29 per $100 of assessed value.
