Member: NYSE • FINRA • SIPC
Police Update: Master Officer Ron McClaren Jr., reported
thefts & burglaries are down from last year at this time. A
recent rash of thefts from unlocked cars may be due to a
known perpetrator who has now been caught. Residents
were reminded to hide all valuables left in cars & make
sure doors are locked. There was one aggravated assault
in our area this month.
Presentation: Dominion Power. Several members of Dominion’s management team were on hand speaking to managing & upgrading their power grid & responses to overhead
line damage. David Tuck, Manager of Customer Relations
& Policy (804-771-4232) gave a quick overview of Dominion’s presentation & introduced his team. Bobby Muller,
Dominion’s forester, for the east Richmond district spoke
about Dominion’s comprehensive vegetation plan which
emphasizes the coexistence of trees & wires. Each neighborhood is on an “every 3 years” cycle for tree canopy
pruning. The Church Hill area has been scheduled for
January 2013. Dominion also closely works with city arborists on tree trimming strategy. If residents have a specific
concern about how a tree will be trimmed we are to notify
Dominion so they can put those streets and trees on their
electronic tree trimming plan and more thoroughly evaluate the trees. A suggestion was made for Dominion to also
notify CHA prior to trimming in Church Hill so we can put
the information in our newsletter/website.
Rick Sepca described Dominion’s restoration of power priority systems. Large transmission lines are first priority for
return of power followed by repair of damaged substations.
Third are distribution systems into neighborhoods with critical services restored first – hospital, water plants, police,
etc. Individual houses/buildings are last to be repaired.
Dominion’s outage map can be found at http://www.dom.
com/storm-center/dominion-electric-outage-map.jsp.
Kathy Vick, Dominion’s Reliability Manager, reported on
Dominion’s circuit reconditioning project. She reminded
us that many of the poles & wires which have been in use
since the 20’s/30’s are in need of upgrading. Recently,
much of Church Hill’s overhead electrical system has been
inventoried & inspected. Much of the existing equipment
has been replaced or upgraded, or is scheduled to be
upgraded. Also underway is a load relief project, upgrading systems so that after an outage energy can be brought
back online without overloading area networks.

APPENDIX I
Guidance Statement for the Zoning Committee of the Association
Under Article VIII, section 1, paragraph 3 of the By-laws as amended, the Board of Directors is to prepare a statement for
the guidance of each standing committee. This document is to provide such a guidance statement for the standing committee on zoning based upon the recommendations of the 1995-96 Zoning Committee and the deliberations of the 1995-96
Board of Directors. While this is provided as a guidance document, it is hoped that it will be viewed by future Boards of
Directors and Zoning Committees as reflecting the serious intent that produced it.
1.Given the priority for the Association of zoning and land use matters, there should be standing committee status for a
Zoning Committee on an ongoing basis.
2.It shall be the responsibility of the Zoning Committee to research and advise the Board of Directors on zoning and land
use matters in the city of Richmond related to the St. John’s, Church Hill North, and Chimborazo Old and Historic Districts.
3.The Chair of the Zoning Committee shall be appointed each year by the President and approved by the Board of Directors. If the Committee deems it useful to its operations, it may wish to designate a Vice-Chair to act as an alternate for the
Chair and/or a Secretary to record minutes and assist in correspondence. In selecting a Chair, the incoming President
should give strong weight to experience in zoning matters as well as leadership credentials and potential, with preference
to members of the previous year’s Zoning Committee.
4.Experience has taught that the Zoning Committee requires a mix of experience and fresh ideas, geographic and other
diversities and a size of membership large enough to enable performance but not so great as to become unwieldy. While
the Committee has functioned with varying sizes of membership, an optimal number may be nine, including the chair. A
reasonable balance of diversities and of experience is essential; to that end, in a committee size of nine, it seems desirable
to bring in at least three fresh members each year and retain as many as six from the prior year. It also seems desirable to
include within the nine members, two or more Board members on the Zoning Committee.
5.Just as continuity is important because of the demands of the subject matter for the Zoning Committee, it is also important that the Committee not become hidebound by lack of turnover. To that end, term limits for service of, e.g., no more than
three years service in any five-year period would be an important safeguard.
6.Committee members should be appointed annually, with due regard to the foregoing, by the Chair after consultation with
the President and with the approval of the Board. All committee members so selected shall be members in good standing
of the Association and reside in or near the St. John’s, Church Hill North and Chimborazo Old and Historic Districts and
remain so as to both requirements during their term.
7.The Zoning Committee should normally meet each month in or near the Historic Districts at the call of the Chair, preferably
one week prior to the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors. The meetings should be open to observation by members
in good standing of the Association, preferably upon notice to the Chair.
8.Delinquency. If any committee member fails to attend four meetings in a one-year period, the Chair shall be empowered
to recommend to the President that the member be replaced in the same manner that any other member is appointed.

the time it took
The best things about the day were the brisk sunny fresh spring-like
weather and the good time everyone had getting to know and reconnect
with neighbors after the winter’s short days. The well-stoked pot belly stove
only made it better The park house was warm and cozy, chairs circled
around the stove, full of the smells of hot coffee, split pea (vegan and with
ham), potato vegetable soups and chili.
With a wide selection of pumpkin, poppy seed, bran, and corn muffins,
pimento cheese sandwiches, corn bread, a tasty cheese and salami platter, The Hill Café’s hummus, pita and vegetable tray, multi grain (gluten
free) chips, the beautiful fruit bowl, mound of red grapes, sausage biscuits.
Captain Buzzy’s coffee, cold apple juice and spring water rounded out the
offerings.
The dedication, hard work, high spirits and camaraderie were palpable.
The food was wonderful and plentiful.

Libby Hill Park Tree Goals
1. Increase the city tree canopy by planting new and tending older trees
2. Focus on planting shade trees for greater environmental benefit – improved air quality and cooling, reduced erosion and ground water runoff
3. Plan tree placement using early parkl pictures as a guide
4. Use native species and add diversity – the majority of current large trees
are Pin Oaks which are in decline
5. Protect open spaces for games and provide inviting green spaces during the hot summer days

Designer Looks 4 Le$$!
By Kenneth Byrd, Kenneth Byrd Design
Redecorate or design a room from scratch following these 10 simple steps for decorating success.
It doesn’t have to be scary, just need
a little time, a few resources and be
willing to try new things!
1. Ask yourself:
How will I be using the space? Determine your use for the
space and plan accordingly.
How often will I be using the space? If it’s an everyday
room, perhaps durable fabrics are in order.
What is my budget? No matter the size, you’ll want to set a
budget and stick to it!
What is my time frame? Setting a thoughtful and realistic
time frame will help keep you on track.
2. Identify the focal point of the room and build your
design around it, focusing on it. Things like a fireplace, a
large piece of furniture or a picture window with a good
view are all ideal candidates.
3. Sketch a floor plan... don’t worry, only want the ba-
sics here, which you can do! Draw-to-scale using graph
paper (1ft measured = 1 square), include features like windows and doorways. Once complete, make a few
copies. Using simple shapes, like rectangle for sofa and
circle for side table, draw several different layouts on
the floor plan copies. Now compare the various floor plans
and decide which layout will work best for you.
5. Pick an inspiration piece as a jumping off point.
Something you can build the room from and refer back to
along the way. You may have a favorite piece of art, fabric,
rug, picture, etc. I’ll typically use a fabric swatch to
address color palette, draperies, flooring and easily build
from there.
6. Make a mood board to gauge the overall vibe of the
room and create a reference piece. Cut out pictures of
art, furniture, fabric and accessories you would like to use
and apply everything to foam board. By pinning all of
the items together you’ll get a sense of what your room will
feel like and make adjustments from there.
7. It’s time to go shopping, let the fun begin! Make a list
of the items you need, beginning with big ticket items
and working your way down to accent pieces. It’s easiest to
coordinate future purchases if you start with drapes
and rugs. You want a cohesive look to your furniture, but
stay away from matching set. Buy from several
different stores for a more thoughtful and collected look.
For versatility, longevity and value, go with muted solids
and natural tones for large items and simply add the pop
with accessories.
8. Paint the walls now that you’re able to see how the
color story is coming together. Take a coordinating fabric
swatch with you to the store when choosing a paint color. I
recommend buying three different samples to try
side-by-side on the wall. It’s best to select color under the
same light as the subject room vs. fluorescent
hardware store lighting, because paint shows differently
depending on the light cast on it.
9. Add layers of accessories and lighting to enhance
the overall look of room once all of the main
components are in place. Pillows, accessories, artwork
and wall color can easily be swapped out as frequently
as your taste changes, so no big commitments here. Go
bold and experiment with new hues and textures.
10. Throw a party, invite friends over to see the beautiful
room you’ve created following a few simple steps.
