Homearama at Broad Creek
Build the Vote
celebrates architectural diversity gets a boost
From an early-Williamsburg style
home, House 15, built by WATAB
Construction Co., to the modern Urban
Cool High-Tech Norfolk House, House 11,
built by Seaside Homes, each of the 18
showcase homes at Homearama 2005 at
Broad Creek neighboring downtown
Norfolk has its own unique style.
This is the 24th year that Tidewater
Builders Association has sponsored its
annual display of showcase homes, but
Homearama Chairman J.F. “Jack” Schoch
says the 2005 show features an array of
styles and products never before seen at
Homearama. “It will be a completely new
and different show for regular visitors, with
house designs and styles that we’ve never
had in Homearama before,” says Schoch.
The Elizabeth, House 1, and The
Lafayette, House 2, built by Area Builders
of Tidewater Inc. reflect a modern urban

President’s
fears that if the jets move, the carriers might
not be far behind and you’ve got a major
case for saving the base. Would the carriers
be targeted next? Should the base be saved
at any cost? What is the cost of keeping the
base? Is it worth sacrificing property
rights? And how long will it stay if Virginia
Beach, Chesapeake and the state of Virginia
comply with the conditions?
There are many important unanswered
questions and it’s a wise idea for the
Virginia Beach City Council to proceed
with its plans to do a thorough analysis of
the costs involved in either scenario. I don’t
think there is anyone who envies the position our local and state leaders find themselves in right now.
Broad Creek Homearama
At Homearama 2005, Oct. 8-23, our
association will showcase dynamic but
affordable villas and custom single-family
homes designed to illustrate our commitment to producing quality, affordable workforce housing for a wide range of incomes.
This Norfolk community offers a prime
example of how the public and private sectors can achieve success that neither could
Sign Me Up!
A lot of people have been asking where
Tidewater Builders Association stands on
the issue of the Oceana jet base and the
recent Base Realignment and Closeure
Commission ruling
regarding its future.
While I think we
all want to breathe a
sigh of relief that the
base wasn’t targeted
for closure, the ruling
and the conditions that
came with it bring a
lot of uncertainty
about what should happen next, and what is
best for the future of the community.
We have been supportive of efforts by
our local, state and national leaders to keep
the base open in Virginia Beach. Del. Terrie
Suit has been on the forefront of developing
a legislative package of measures to address
encroachment concerns of the commissioners. We understood how important those
efforts were to keeping the base here, and
we supported them.
There is no doubt the loss of 12,000
jobs and the spin-off economic effects of
losing the base will hurt. Add to that the
accomplish on its own. The 87-acre Broad
Creek development represents a federal
investment of more than $35 million in
HUD monies, which has leveraged another
$200 million in public/private investment.
Broad Creek could become a national
model for developing quality mixed-use,
mixed-income neighborhoods, and it is
already becoming one of Norfolk’s hottest
real estate opportunities.
Past Homearamas featured million-dollar mansions our visitors could only dream
of owning. This event will offer well-built,
amenity-packed homes with a mix of price
ranges that start at $170,000 as well as some
that are selling for over $500,000. It will promote diversity in age, race, income level and
housing type, and it represents a remarkable
commitment from our custom builders and
from the Norfolk Redevelopment &
Housing Authority, developer of the site. We
believe these homes will contribute to the
long-term revitalization and stability of
Broad Creek and surrounding communities,
and on behalf of TBA, we are proud to have
played a role in it.
Brighter futures
While all eyes are focused on the showcase homes at Broad Creek, two
Homearama builders are making time to
build another very special home – the 2005
TBA Scholarship House. Both Sam Cohen
and Chip Iuliano have already built
Homearama Charity Houses, but this time
they have joined forces to support The TBA

Scholarship Foundation by designating one
of their East Beach townhomes toward the
cause. Already, a full contingent of associate members have signed on to help.
These positive developments couldn’t
have come at a better time as The
Scholarship Foundation celebrates its 40th
anniversary. The past few years saw a
decline in investment returns and a lull in
the Scholarship House program, leading to
some concern about the future of the noble
community service program our founding
fathers poured their hearts and souls into.
With the ground breaking of a 2005
Scholarship House and another builder, Ed
Sadler, on deck to build the next scholarship
house, the future is much brighter.
When we presented awards to deserving students earlier this year, they included
the first annual Howard and Nancye
Weisberg Scholarship and the first annual
William Hearring Memorial Scholarship,
resulting from $100,000 endowments on
each of their parts.
The awards celebration also included
remarks and a $5,000 contribution (for the
second time) from past recipient Bill
Fairchild, who owns a commercial construction company in Northern Virginia.
Meanwhile, Michael Newsome, our
Scholarship Foundation chair, started a
Scholarship Apartment effort last year by
signing on Clark Whitehill Enterprises Inc.
to contribute gross annual proceeds from an
apartment to the cause. This year Jack, Jeff
and John Ainslie, and Shane Sullivan of
Crestline Realty are donating proceeds
from another apartment.
A huge thanks goes out to everyone who
is helping reenergize this effort. We hear
from our recipients regularly, and we know
the funds make a huge difference in their
lives and to the future of our community.
Individual contributions are accepted by
The Scholarship Foundation and can be
made in honor or memory of someone you
know. Send your tax-deductible donation to

TBA Builder Services Success Story
PARTIES IMPACTED: Builders seeking building permits for properties with driveways connecting to public roads.
ADVOCATE: Chip Iuliano of Area Builders of Tidewater Inc.
ISSUE: Iuliano was seeking permits for a home in Suffolk and
was told he needed a city apron and VDOT inspections of the
driveway.
ACTION TAKEN: Never having to obtain VDOT clearance
prior to this, Iuliano contacted Claudia Cotton, TBA staff vice
president of Builder Services, to shed light on the situation.
Iuliano
OUTCOME: With the help of Cotton, Iuliano obtained the permits and continued
construction.
COMMENT: “It’s good to know there is someone I can call to help find answers
and solutions to even the littlest of problems. Claudia was able to get answers and help
get me back on track.”
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I AM A stickler FOR details.
WHICH IS WHY I choose TO partner WITH REICO.
Stephen Thomas has been building homes in the Richmond,
VA area for over 25 years, and in that time has earned a
reputation for quality workmanship and his attention to
detail. When he was looking to partner with a kitchen and
bath supplier, he chose Reico. In his words, they were the
only company “that is as demanding as I am when it
comes to getting things done right.” So if Reico can please
a perfectionist like Stephen, they can certainly please you.

The Tidewater Builder
Are corporate duties in the best
interest of companies?
By C. Grigsby Scifres
Counsel’s
Scifres, a partner in the Virginia Beach
office of the law firm of Williams Mullen, is
Tidewater Builders Association’s general
counsel. This column features legal issues
of interest to TBA’s
members.
Directors of corporations, whether
publicly or privately
owned, owe basic
fiduciary duties. When
the corporation is solvent, a director owes
duties to the shareholders; however, when the corporation is
insolvent, in the “zone of insolvency” or in
bankruptcy, then the constituency is expanded to include creditors of the corporation. If
a director violates any duties, then that director can be held personally liable for losses
suffered by the corporation.
board of directors acted appropriately. This
rule protects disinterested directors from
personal liability even though a decision the
director has approved turns out to be
unwise or unsuccessful. If the Business
Judgment Rule is applied, then a court will
not look behind an action of directors but
instead will defer to the board’s business
judgment. However, if a breach of the
duties of care or loyalty is established, then
the presumption of the reasonableness of
the decision is removed and a court will
examine director conduct to assess liability.
Fundamental duties
Insolvency
Stated broadly, every director must discharge duties in good faith and in a manner
that is reasonably believed to be in the best
interest of the corporation. This is often
referred to as the “duty of care.” This
encompasses attending regular board and
committee meetings, obtaining regular and
sufficient information about the business
affairs of the corporation, and making
inquiry into potential problems or issues
that are indicated by “red flags.” Absent
knowledge that would make reliance
unwarranted, a director generally is entitled to rely on management or board committees to perform their delegated responsibilities and their reports, information,
financial statements, financial data and
opinions presented by management, legal
counsel, accountants or committees of the
board on which the director does not serve.
The second basic duty is the duty of
loyalty. This is a fairness concept and
includes the obligation to deal fairly with
the corporation at a fair price whenever a
director has a business dealing with the
corporation. The duyy of loyalty obligates
a director to make business opportunities
available to the corporation, if that opportunity is related to the business of the corporation, before the director may pursue
the opportunity personally. If a director
believes that a potential transaction might
be found to be a corporate opportunity,
then the director should disclose that to the
board. Whenever a conflict of interest
exists, typically arising when a director
(directly or indirectly) has a financial or
personal interest in a transaction involving
the corporation, then the director is deemed
to be an “interested” director. In such
instances, approval of the transaction must
be obtained from disinterested directors.
Consistent with the duty of care and the
duty of loyalty, courts recently have spoken
of another aspect of a director’s duty – the
duty of disclosure or candor. This concept
embodies the idea that directors should furnish the board, and when appropriate
shareholders, with all material information
available prior to a decision.
Traditional tests for insolvency include
the balance sheet test (liabilities in excess
of assets) and the equitable or cash-flow
test (inability to pay debts as they come
due). A further concept is transactions that
will leave the company insolvent or on the
“brink of insolvency.” These situations
often emanate from leverage buyouts. A
complicating factor is whether the company’s assets should be valued at book value
or fair value for purposes of testing for
insolvency.
The law is evolving concerning fiduciary obligations when a corporation is
insolvent. Some courts have suggested that
a stricter business-judgment standard
should apply, and others have struggled
with reconciling the preexisting fiduciary
duty owed to stockholders with sometimes
conflicting duties owed to creditors when
a company becomes insolvent. However,
most cases allowing creditors to recover
for breaches of fiduciary duty against
directors personally have involved situations in which board decisions diverted
corporate assets for the benefit of insiders
(whether officers, directors or shareholders) or preferred creditors to the detriment
of other creditors.
When a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case
naming a company as a debtor is commenced, the law is clear that directors owe
duties of care and loyalty to all of the company’s creditors and equity holders. The
duty of care changes to a duty to protect
and conserve the company’s property for
the benefit of the parties in interest in the
bankruptcy case, and to not act in a manner
that could hinder successful reorganization
of the business.
Enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
as well as increased fallout from Enron,
WorldCom and similar corporate debacles
have focused a bright spotlight on management and board decisions. Although highprofile civil and criminal enforcement
actions have been brought only in cases of
publicly owned companies, directors of
privately owned corporations should not
assume that the basic principles are not
applicable to them—they are.

Scholarship house under way
Getting the TBA Scholarship House
project back on track after a five-year
absence, builders Chip Iuliano of Area
Builders of Tidewater Inc. and Sam Cohen
of Joey Corp. helped break the ground for
the 2005 Scholarship House on Sept. 21.
They have designated one of their townhomes in Norfolk’s East Beach community
for the 2005 Scholarship House.
Both builders have each previously constructed a Homearama Charity House to
benefit local charities, but felt like teaming
up to help assure the future of the
Scholarship Foundation was essential.
“I was inspired to do this by seeing so
many TBA founders and leaders pour their
heart and soul into the Scholarship
Foundation. I realized I needed to help
continue the tradition,” said TBA Past
President Iuliano during the ground breaking ceremony.
“Both Chip and I have kids in college
and we're blessed we have the means to
send them,” added Cohen. “I couldn’t
imagine having a kid with potential and
being unable to send them to school. I want
to make sure these kids continue to have a
way to get there.”
Norfolk City Councilman Randy
Wright and Gene Jones, executive director of the city of Norfolk High Schools,
both shared how TBA and the Scholarship
Foundation are helping to build productive citizens and future philanthropists.
Todd Savage, a past Young Designers’
Competition recipient, echoed the sentiment — reflecting that his entry in the com-

embraces the surrounding city life.
