Kevin Vonck was on the City of Richmond’s payroll just five months when he was put in charge of its department of planning and development review.
The assignment followed the abrupt departure in January of previous director Mark Olinger, who had led the department for nearly a decade.
Today, Vonck has nearly five months under his belt in his role as acting director, overseeing a department of more than 100 employees that includes the city’s building inspections and permitting bureau, land use and zoning administration, and property maintenance and preservation divisions.

Scott’s Addition is constantly flush with new apartments, but a local developer is trying out a residential product of a different sort: condos.
Spy Rock Real Estate Group is planning a 134-unit condo project at 3406 Carlton St. at the intersection of Roseneath Road and Carlton Street.
The roughly 3.7-acre site is owned by Riverside Brick & Supply Co., a 150-year-old masonry company. Riverside President Mike Wray and Spy Rock Principal Andrew Basham both confirmed that Spy Rock has the land under contract for purchase.
