VB Bay Colony property dispute gets court hearing
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Residents upset about a plot of land on York Lane in the Bay Colony neighborhood in Virginia Beach had their day in court Wednesday, with a judge issuing a temporary restraining order against any tree removal on the property until Aug. 1. Virginia Beach neighbors speak out against building permit 10 On Your Side's Andy Fox first learned about the story as a Bay Colony resident, noticing the protest signs against the purchase of a piece of property at 1212 York Lane, as residents have said they are not happy with a decision by the city to allow a home to be built on what's described as a non-conforming lot. They want someone to be accountable. That's why they were in Virginia Beach Circuit Court Wednesday, upset that trees are being destroyed on the property to make way for a house to be built on a lot they say is too small for one to be built on it. Virginia Beach land dispute on how non-conforming lot handled, stop work order possible on property Judge Kevin Duffan came to the rescue, hearing the case after another court got backed up, and then there was a fire alarm that emptied the courthouse. Duffan was able to hear the case, and ruled in favor of the temporary restraining order against any tree removal. The move was seen as a calming down period to iron out some lingering issues, and Duffan made it clear he thought destroying trees before the issues were worked out was not a prudent course of action. The judge also supported fast-tracking a two-day trial on the issue, with both sides agreeing to a date sometime in July. Dawn Kohan lives in the house next to the property in question. Her attorney, Kevin Martingayle said there were three issues to support the restraining order: A boundary line change on the property Deciding whether this property is a corner lot and could impact setbacks for a new development Adverse possession It came out in court that Kohan has been in her house since February 2022, and two other previous owners took care of the property since 1993 when other property when the actual owners did not. Her attorney Kevin Martingayle told us outside court, 'It's obviously very important,' Martingayle said. 'It's not typical to adversely possess somebody else's property according to the way land records read, but if you occupy it, you maintain it, you improve it, and you do these things continuously over 15 years or more, then you can adversely possess property.' 10 On Your Side also interviewed the current property owner Josh Kinas, who paid $295,000 for the property, and will receive some court established bond benefits to help him during the period of time before the trial takes place sometime in July. 'I'm just going to trust in the process,' Kinas said outside court. 'I think the truth will prevail. You'll hear about it in July.' It also came out in court that Kinas' employer, builder Bishard Homes, would fast track the building of the house to have it complete in about two months' time. 'I feel relieved that we can receive some justice in a couple of months,' Kohan said, 'and I know that my team will work as hard as anyone to make sure that happens.' When asked what she would like to say to Kinas, she said 'I just wish that he had come to the house and talk it over or give a heads up as to what was going on.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

A walk in memory of Hampton woman killed by suspected drunk driver
HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — Days after 35-year-old Latonya Foster was killed by a suspected drunk driver in Hampton, the man who was an ear witness to the crime was emotional as he spoke on behalf of her parents. Hampton family mourns life taken by driver suspected of DUI 'It just doesn't make any sense; this is not fair,' said Johnathan Lynch. 'She was so beautiful; we're not just talking about the look of her. We're talking about who she was as a person.' Three months later, the tears continue to flow. April Smith said she was Foster's best friend. 'She was the most selfless person — always there for you, always a phone call away,' Smith said. 'She always showed up.' Foster's last phone call, a call with Lynch, took place during the early morning hours Feb. 22 as Foster took the Settlers Landing road exit on Interstate 64 East. According to police, Theresa Tann was driving her Ford Explorer up the ramp in the wrong direction. 'I heard a breath, and then I heard people knocking on the window, and I'm calling her name like 'Tonya, Tonya,' said Lynch in the interview earlier this year. Her loved ones shared pictures of the remains of Foster's Nissan after a head-on collision. The suspect was treated for rib injuries and was charged with DUI manslaughter. With memories of Foster close to their hearts, loved ones and supporters will gather at Buckroe Beach next Saturday for what they call a . 'For those who don't have nowhere to turn, for those who need therapy, help, whatever it is that you need, just coming together as a community,' Smith said. 'We just invite everybody to come out, take part, whether you knew her personally or simply just believing in a cause, we just hope to reflect on the sweetness you brought to the community, to people's lives.' The walk takes place two days before the suspect, Tann, is scheduled to face a judge. 'We need justice and my friend needs justice,' Smith said. 'And even her going to jail doesn't bring my friend back, doesn't bring the sister back, the aunt back. I feel that the more that we speak out on it, the more awareness that we raise.'
