  • Mayor Bobby Destruction & Deforestation Dyer

    His first act as mayor in 2018 – dissolve the Virginia Beach Department of Environment and Sustainability. Ever since then, raw land has been developed like never before.

    Famous last words of a fool, “We are running out of land,” ~ Worst Mayor in the history of the City of Virginia Beach.

  • ASC is not for we…

    Acoustical Sheetmetal Company (ASC) is the gateway for data centers. While first started in Virginia Beach as STECA, and subsequently ASI (2007).  In  2019, it was acquired by RTK Family Capital LLC and Young Capital Partners LLC private investment firms.

    2025 September – City Council cosigns on the illegal carve-out at Hudome Way, total of 44 acres and 550,000 sq. ft.

    The lie – ASI was acquired by a private equity firm in 2019 to become ASC.  Not the same company, it is owned by a Richmond firm.

    Late 2018 – original owners retire after 25 years.

    2007 – located at Corporate Landing Parkway, 2600 Production Road, as Acoustical Sheetmetal Incorporated (ASI), 5 acres 100,000 sq. ft. facility.

  • Peasants must pay for developer-caused flooding

    The Flood Bond Referendum was the elite’s way of forcing the public to pay for flood protection while simultaneously allowing developers to continue to cause flooding. 

    That is not in jest — builders have been controlling City Council and the Planning Department since they overturned Citizen’s vote for a tree protection ordinance in 1993.  Back then it was Tidewater Builders Association and today they are known as Coastal Virginia Building Industry Association.
    Here’s what happened…

    2019 – City (Citizens) succeed in blocking Argos Properties from developing in floodplains and swamplands.

    2020 – City (Citizens) passes stormwater provisions in compliance with state law.

    Back in January 2020 – before developers intervened

    The public is taken care of…right…? Nope.

    PRIVATE BUILDERS INTERVENE TO BYPASS STATE STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS AND KNOWINGLY HARM THE PUBLIC

    Summer 2020 – Coastal Virginia Building Industry overrides public concern and initiates “ongoing discussions between the city leadership and representatives of the development community who is upset about the stricter stormwater regulations.”

    Unanimous council vote, 73% of the public, and a developer-related organization can override the people.

    Not looking promising, on September 7, 2021, city council unanimously approved a resolution promising residents that if they approve of the referendum council will prevent builders from the ability to cause flooding. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan recommending denial for any development project that generates a net increase in water discharge demand.

    October 8, 2021 – letter to council from Virginia Beach Vision and Ann Crenshaw, President and attorney for Argos Properties.

    Approved by 73% on November 2, 2021 – the City of Virginia Beach still allows developers to violate local, state, and federal law and continue in developer-caused flooding.

    November 10, 2021 – Virginia Beach Planning Commission DENIED the provision.

    Planning Commissioners:
    David Weiner, now on VBDA
    Whitney Graham, TowneBank advisory boardmember notoriously voting on planning items financed by TowneBank pulling a ‘Sessoms.’
    Michael Inman, TowneBank advisory boardmember
    George Alcaraz

    City employees (Bookholt) hold meetings with developers Coastal Virginia Builders Industry Association to override the Citizens’ vote.

    November – December 2021 – Eddie Bourdon argues that developers should not have to abide by stormwater regulations because Virginia Beach would be ‘closed for business.’

    Bourdon‘s admissions, “I was at the City Council meeting when this Resolution was adopted, but there was no opportunity for anybody to discuss. And frankly, couldn’t be more ecstatic and proud of our City for having approved the referendum 70% plus. And I frankly don’t think anybody at that point who cares about the future of the Virginia Beach was going to stand up and start asking questions about what they were doing.”

    So the development community watched the commitments being made to voters, stayed silent so as not to jeopardize the referendum’s passage (which funded $567.5 million in public works from which the construction industry would benefit) and then moved to gut the regulatory commitment after the votes were counted.

    On January 4, 2022 – Council unanimously defers, “to hear additional concerns from the development community.” Not the public – we already spoke at 73%, and this is city councils multi-year screw-over of the public to favor illegal development.

    February 1, 2022 – Council votes 8-2 to defer again after Tuck Bowie (developer) opposes complying with law. The voice of reason, John Moss, makes clear, “What is really desired is developers want relief from having to comply with stormwater regulations.”

    Only three councilmembers are voting with Citizens

    8-3 vote to send the promised amendment back to the Planning Commission on February 15, 2022.

    2024 – Mayor Bobby Dyer states he, “Wouldn’t have voted to include the comprehensive plan amendment if he knew it would increase regulatory costs for developers.” Screw the public who is paying half-a-billion!

    2025 – Home Builders Association of Virginia is upset that regulating stormwater causes upfront costs. Governor Youngkin is quoted, “Why in the world do we have a stack of over 24 inches of stormwater regs?” Yes…seriously, he did.

    2026 – City council passes Comprehensive Plan without the promised amendment AND increased density ensuring developers can continue to cause flooding.

    THIS IS WHY WE FLOOD!

  • Knight’s Atlantic Park Dome

    At the September 20, 2022 meeting of the Virginia Beach Development Authority, Atlantic Park Surf Park requested the issuance of 501(c)(3) bonds.

    The question everyone wants to know, “Who is P3 Foundation, Inc.?” Essentially, P3 Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit set up to exclude bond interest from taxation.

    At first glance, it is a nonprofit whose mission is, “to partner with public and charitable entities to develop services, activities, and programs designed for senior housing, education, health care facilities, affordable housing, and governments.” The address listed on Charity Navigator is 4100 Carmel Road, Suite B, #214, Charlotte, North Carolina which is a UPS Store.

    The organization was founded on July 6, 2017 and has “Corporation Service Company” as a registered agent with a mailing address of 2626 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 550 in Raleigh, North Carolina (a law firm with thousands of registered companies).

    The Articles of Organization show an address of 525 North Tryon Street, Suite 1600, Charlotte, North Carolina.

    For years 2017 and 2018, P3 Foundation Inc. had less than $50,000 in gross receipts with Jeffrey Klein listed as the Principal Officer.

    Seems Kosher, right? Not so fast . . .

    On August 8, 2019, the Foundation was issued over $26 million in Lancaster IDA Revenue Bonds.

    The members at that time were:
    Jeff Klein, President – an asset/investment manager and manager/member of numerous LLC’s organized to transfer funds
    Greg Fawcett, Secretary – the president, managing member, and founder of Piedmont Securities LLC
    Jim Moore, Treasurer – an asset/investment manager and financial advisor
    Kim Wyatt, Executive Director – an asset/investment manager and financial advisor
    Andrew Kittleson, Director – a wealth advisor in ‘alternative investments’
    Christopher Liedel, Director – an investment banking and strategy consultant
    Louise Waller, Director – an asset/investment manager

    In a filing with the IRS, payments to closely affiliated organizations totaled $245,750. These for-profit entities were organized by the Foundation’s board members.

    P3 Foundation Inc.
    Form 990 (2019)

    Edgesight LLC received $96,750 for, “bond-related services,” performed on behalf of the Foundation. Edgesight was organized by the Foundation’s executive director, Kim Wyatt, on 8-18-2018 in Texas, with its principle address in Denver, Colorado.

    NP Asset Services LLC received $145,000 for, “asset management and bond-related services,” performed on behalf of the Foundation. NP Asset Services was organized by the Foundation’s president, Jeff Klein, on 8-2-2019 in Texas. Greg Fawcett and Jim Moore are also managing members of NP Asset Services.
    Associated funds:
    California Municipal Finance Authority


    There are several organizations tracked back to P3 Foundation Inc. in North Carolina, all of which are for-profit investment companies:
    Frame Financial Systems LLC (operated from the same UPS store as the Foundation)
    JSK Enterprises LLC
    Kensington CA LLC (with a principle office at a $3.5 million residence in Charlotte, North Carolina)
    Kensington Capital Advisors LLC registered as a municipal advisor until February of 2019. Principle office is another UPS Store.
    Piedmont Securities LLC a brokerage firm started by Greg Fawcett, the Foundation’s secretary, and located at 215 South Main Street, Suite 304 in Davidson, North Carolina.

    Associated companies:
    Fourth Ward Capital Holdings LLC in Columbia South Carolina.
    P3 CPTC Holdings LLC organized in Delaware with a controlling interest in P3 Foundation Inc.
    CPTC Acquisition LLC located in San Diego, California.
    P3 FMC Holdings LLC located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with a principal address at a UPS Store.




    On August 17, 2021 the Atlantic Park Community Development Authority was created after Rocky Holcomb was seated to VBCC as an $84,000 asset bought by Delegate Barry Knight.


    Closed Session
    July 12, 2022

    Background leading to the approval:

    10/4/2016 VBCC considers bond resolution (fails 8 to 3)


    A slew of campaign contributions from Venture Realty and associates to state electeds sealed their bid (and bond approval) for the Atlantic Park wave pool project.

    On September 29, 2019, Venture Realty registered Atlantic Park Inc. with the State Corporation Commission listing Michael A. Culpepper, Donna L. Whitaker, John L. Gibson III, and Bruce Berlin as officers.

    October 22, 2019, less than a month after the corporation registered and before Delegate Knight reintroduced the legislation, Atlantic Park was the approved contractor for the Dome project.

  • C’est la vie Oceana! XOXO – Kevin Kemp

    Kevin Kemp single-handedly destroyed what the City of Virginia Beach had been working toward for over 15 years—and now, the City’s single-most reliable source of income is at stake.

    Years before Oceana was slated on the endangered bases list the City of Virginia Beach was warned about encroachment on NAS Oceana and its outlying fields (up until 2003, VBCC voted against the DOD’s interests three out of four times).

    In 2005, NAS Oceana was included by a 7-1 vote on the BRAC Commission’s closure list.  Desperately, the City attempted to redeem three decades of irresponsible development against their most reliable income—the military.

    But you cannot have a jet base without an auxiliary field.  It escapes the mind of most that these jets flying overhead are not intended to dock on a runway—the essence of Naval aircraft is their ability to maneuver from an aircraft carrier.  As such, they require an outlying field simulating an aircraft carrier in open ocean—but upon land.

    The surrounding lands to any auxiliary field must remain as consistent with the DOD’s mission as possible. At Fentress, this means touch-and-go’s almost exclusively at night. The restriction against residential structures isn’t merely a recommendation because people complain about the noise—it is a logistical liability.

    Additional persons, vehicles, and traffic equates to increased light and electronic interference. The day isn’t as pertinent as night—hence “residential” and overnight uses being prohibited. You remove the trees and cover, you reveal more lights and reflections. If you don’t top-off the cover you have accidents. Luckily, the pattern has remained the same so the low flyers take care of the tops. Which poses another problem—the planning and zoning departments are allowing two-story residential structures I bet the Navy would be aghast about in over 75 (let’s hope planning is at least following up with those provisions), and new structures where none have stood in over 15 years. From below it may not look like a big deal—but from above everything matters.

    In 2008, the City actively worked to meet the provisions outlined by the Secretary of Defense to rezone, acquire, and naturalize NALF Fentress’s outlying AICUZs and APZs. The joint agreement even redrew the flight pattern so it was easier for both Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to meet expectations. Over the years, Virginia Beach has purchased multiple vacant properties to complete their “Master Plan,” and placed zoning restrictions upon building which can only be overturned upon express authorization of VBCC. That is, until recently…

    Maybe it was due to the untimely departure of Dave Hansen. A people-person he was not—but the logistical requirements of appeasing the military he more than conquered. Or, maybe it is the fact that the City does not educate and update their employees of the varying dynamics which attempt to coexist within their boundary—as City employees remain unchecked, and are even assisted by a City Attorney who affirms their negligent conduct. Regardless, its initiation with Kevin Kemp is indisputable.

    In 2015, there were two vacant lots that sold in NALFF >75 dB—to the City of Virginia Beach.  There were no residential structures built where none existed prior.

    In 2016, there was one vacant lot that sold in NALFF >75 dB—to the City of Virginia Beach.  There were no residential structures built where none existed prior.

    In 2017, Kevin Kemp was appointed as the Director of Zoning—there were two vacant lots purchased in NALFF >75 dB, by Thomas A. Brown (infamous single- and multi-family track home builder).  Three new residential structures were erected in NALFF >75 dB from 2017 to 2019 (not a single one was approved by VBCC).

    In 2018, an additional two vacant lots were purchased in the NALFF >75 dB by builders.  Both are currently slated to build new residential structures where none existed prior—nothing has been authorized by City Council.

    Bobby Tajan was appointed as the Planning Director in early 2019. Five additional purchases of vacant lands during 2019 and 2020 in the AICUZ outlying Fentress—and not a single City employee is even aware there are restrictions in this area that were set in motion fifteen years ago.

    Maybe the City assumed since they missed the 2019 closure list there is no need to continue in their effort.  Unfortunately, the commission can reconvene at any time when the economic conditions so require.

    Maybe the City is, once again, actively working against the Navy as they did prior to 2003.  Whatever the case may be, the sudden and unexplained opening of unchecked residential structures being built upon every lot in AICUZ >75, and even 70-75, needs to be investigated as it will result in the City losing their only source of consistent income in this economic downturn.  But someone, somewhere, must be benefiting…

    (Kevin Kemp? Bobby Tajan? Mark Stiles? Or, all of the above?)

    1964 Fisher Arch – Gee’s Group LLC August 14, 2019 – Planning Commission Meeting

    November 14, 2018


    Gee’s Group LLC requested a deferral back on November 14, 2018 in order to, “address stormwater management.”

    Their request is to build a, “mini-warehouse.”

    About the Developer

    Gee’s Group Real Estate Development has an office at 600 Lynnhaven Parkway, Suite 200 in Virginia Beach.

    There is an extensive portfolio at Gee’s Group which consists of concrete and rooftops.

    So, what can we expect this “mini-warehouse” to be? I will opine before receiving the planning documents that will be along the lines of the Squirrel Away Storage Gee’s built on Baxter Road.
