UH, PLEASE LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES.

UM, IF YOU, UH, DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK, CONCEDE YOUR TIME TO ANOTHER CITIZEN, UH, PLEASE, UH, YOU CAN DO THAT IN TWO MINUTE INCREMENTS, UP TO 10 MINUTES IN TOTAL.

UM, PLEASE, UH, IF, IF WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING, PLEASE SIT ON THE FRONT ROW AND, UH, THAT'LL EXPEDIATE OUR PROCESS.

LINDA MOORE, MANNEQUIN SABBATH, VIRGINIA.

UM, WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR, UH, 2024.

I AM TELLING YOU, UH, THAT WE ARE DELIGHTED FOR ALL Y'ALL TO, TO BE, UM, HERE TO DECIDE TO TAKE ON THE FOUR YEAR HITCH, A, A AS, AS MY, UM, MILITARY FAMILY WOULD SAY IT WAS A FOUR YEAR HITCH, AND WE WERE HITCHED TO THE HITCH TO OUR FATHER.

UM, IN MANY WAYS, UM, I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE STANDARDS THAT YOU APPROVED, UH, FOR THE MEETING, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE MEETING.

I LOVE THE TWO THAT YOU ADDED.

UM, I THINK THAT WILL HELP AN AWFUL LOT, UM, WITH HELPING TO FRAME THE INTENT OF THESE, THE, THE PROCESS.

UM, THAT BEING SAID, UH, WE ARE MOVING ON WITH MY COMMUNITY IS DECIDED THAT WE REALLY NEED TO, UM, EDUCATE, UM, OUR CITIZENS ON PROPER WAYS TO, UM, TO ADDRESS, UM, LAND USE CASES THAT USES THE DECORUM, AS YOU HAVE, HAVE SAID, TO UNDERSTAND, UH, WHAT THE REGULATIONS ARE.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UNDERSTANDS DI'S RULE, UH, UH, DYLAN'S RULE, AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TELLS US TO DO.

OKAY? WE ARE IN VIRGINIA, SO OUR CODES HAVE GOT TO MATCH THE, THE CODES FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.

AND, UM, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY REALIZES THAT, BUT WE WILL GET THERE.

WE, WE EXPECT IN APRIL TO HAVE A A, A WORKSHOP.

UM, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR MATERIALS ARE ACCURATE.

AND, UM, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MEETING.

THANK YOU, MR. MOORE.

MARGARET LEVITT, UH, PARKSIDE VILLAGE GOLAND.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND, UM, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU, UH, IN THE FUTURE AS A NEW BOARD.

UM, I HAD EMAILED SOME COMMENTS TO EACH ONE OF YOU, UH, REGARDING THE ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING.

UM, NUMBER FOUR, UM, THE RULES OF PROCEDURE.

AND I WAS HOPING THAT I WOULD HAVE TIME TO, UM, HAVE SOME INPUT ON THAT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU ALL DIDN'T TAKE CITIZEN INPUT, SO I KNOW IT'S ALREADY ADOPTED.

UM, BUT IT IS MY HOPE TO HAVE A BETTER WORKING RELATIONSHIP THAN WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

UM, AND HOPE IS MORE THAN JUST AN EMOTION AND FEELING IT'S AN ACTION.

AND I THINK EACH ONE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN HERE PREVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND THAT, UM, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AND, UM, WE DON'T ALWAYS WANNA BE, UM, AT ODDS.

WE WANNA WORK TOGETHER.

SO THAT IS MY HOPE, AND I HOPE THAT'S YOURS AS WELL.

BUT THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A HOUSEKEEPING ISSUE IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE IF AN APPLICANT CAN COME IN

[00:15:01]

DURING THE HEARING AND PRESENT A CHANGE, THE CITIZENS ARE LEFT OUT OF THAT.

SO I FEEL THAT'S MORE THAN JUST A HOUSEKEEPING ISSUE.

SO WHAT I HAD ASKED IS THAT PERHAPS YOU COULD HAVE SOME CITIZEN INPUT TO TWEAK THAT AND MAKE IT STRONGER TO INCLUDE CITIZEN INPUT.

AND MAYBE WE CAN STILL DO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT.

SO ALONG THESE SAME LINES, UH, I'LL BRING UP SOMETHING THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF NOT GONNA BE A POSITIVE, I GUESS IT IS NOW THAT IT'S OFF THE TABLE.

BUT PROJECT ROCKY.

THEY SAID THEY DON'T EVEN SEE THAT STAFF REPORT BEFORE IT'S FINALIZED.

I, I, WHAT IF THERE WAS AN ERROR? WHAT IF THEY DID HAVE COMMENT? BECAUSE I HEARD, WELL, WE WERE AT THOSE MEETINGS.

I CAN'T IMAGINE THE BIGGEST THING TO GO BEFORE GLAND AND THERE WAS NO COMMENT.

SO I THINK THESE AGENCIES SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE STAFF REPORT AND DO A FINAL SIGN OFF BEFORE IT'S DISTRIBUTED.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT.

THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

THANK YOU, MS. LEVIT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? UH, SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD.

UH, MOVING ON.

WE HAVE IN OUR PACKET THE MINUTES OF THE DECEMBER 5TH, UH, REGULAR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING

[IX. Approval of Action Minutes]

AND THE DECEMBER 12TH TRANSPORTATION WORK SESSION MEETING.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE MINUTES FROM THE, UH, REGULAR MEETING ON THE FIFTH AND THE TRANSPORTATION WORK SECTION ON THE 12TH AS PRESENTED.

THIS IS A VOICE VOTE.

UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR DISCUSSION.

OH, TIME FOR DISCUSSION.

YEAH.

UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

I JUST WANNA LET THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS KNOW THAT, UM, A VOTE.

YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE HERE FOR THE, TO ACCEPT THE MEET THE, THE MINUTES.

YOU'RE JUST ACCEPTING THAT THE WORK THAT THE CLERK HAS DONE.

UM, SO THERE'S NOT REALLY A NEED TO ABSTAIN.

JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.

UH, ANY DISCUSSION? FURTHER DISCUSSION? I'M SEEING NONE.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FROM THE BOARD MOTION OF THE FOUR.

ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR WITH THE VOICE PUT, SAY AYE.

UM, ALL OTHER REPORTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE BOARD PACKET IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

ABSTAIN.

THE MOTION PASSES.

NEXT, WE WILL HEAR THE, UH, VDOT AND BROADBAND REPORTS.

[X. Reports]

SO, UH, STEPPING FORWARD FOR VDOT.

MR. WYNN, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS

[1. VDOT - December 2023]

OF THE BOARD, MARSHALL WYNN WITH VDOT.

UM, THIS PAST MONTH WE HAD 117 WORK ORDERS COMPLETED.

120, HAD SIX CALLOUTS.

I'VE BEEN DOING REGULAR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, ASPHALT PATCHING, POTHOLE PATCHING, SHOULDER REPAIR, PIPE REPLACEMENT, AND CLEANING, UH, DITCHING TREE REMOVAL AND CLEANUP AND TRASH PICKUP.

UM, AS, UH, YOU HEARD EARLIER, WE DID HAVE A LITTLE BLIP THIS MORNING.

I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE ONE THIS WEEKEND, BUT WE'LL BE READY.

UH, THIS WAS A, A SURPRISE THIS MORNING WITH THE, WITH THE RAIN WE HAD YESTERDAY EVENING.

AND, UH, OTHER THAN THAT, I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

OR DO YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER SOMETHING WITH THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS, WHAT THE AREAS ARE? WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? SURE, SURE.

ALRIGHT.

THE COUNTY SPLIT UP INTO TWO AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY.

THE OILVILLE AREA TAKES CARE OF THE ROADS BETWEEN 5 22 AND HENRICO COUNTY LINE.

THE SANDY HOOK AREA TAKES CARE OF 5 22 TO THE WEST TO THE COUNTY LINE.

SO THAT'S THE TWO AREA HEADQUARTERS WE GOT, AND BOTH AREA HEADQUARTERS HAVE LIKE 11 OR 12 PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THAT AREA.

SO JUST WANTED TO LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

UH, NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.

THANK YOU, MR. WYNN.

HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

AFTERNOON, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, PAUL DRUMRIGHT, UH, COMMUNITY AFFAIRS MANAGER.

NOW TO PRESENT, UH, MR. PAUL DRUMRIGHT FOR THE, UH, BROADBAND REPORT.

GOOD

[2. Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and Design Review Committee Annual Report - 2023]

[00:20:01]

UH, AS YOU MENTIONED, THE, UH, BROADBAND REPORT IS IN THE BOARD'S PACKET.

I'M GONNA JUST TOUCH ON A COUPLE HIGH LEVEL ITEMS THAT ARE IN THERE AS WELL AS THAT HAVE CHANGED SINCE THAT, UH, PACKET WAS PUBLISHED.

WE'VE HAD SOME, A COUPLE UPDATES COME IN, UM, SHARED WITH ME.

SO I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD.

UM, SO THE FIRST OFF, UH, THE PROJECT CONTINUES.

THE FIREFLY RISE

[5. January 2nd 2024 Broadband Report]

PROJECT CONTINUES TO BE, UH, ON TRACK IN EXPANDING BROADBAND ACROSS THE COUNTY.

UM, THEY'RE GONNA BE CONTINUING TO DO CONNECTIONS INTO 2024 AND UP THROUGH 2025 AS WELL AS PART OF THE PROJECT.

UH, THAT'S WHEN ALL THOSE GRANT AREAS ARE, UH, HAVE TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 2025.

IS, IS THAT DEADLINE? WE EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN SHORTER THAN THAT, BUT THAT'S THAT FINAL DEADLINE RIGHT NOW WHERE ALL THOSE PROJECTS HAVE TO HAPPEN.

UM, GOOD NEWS IS THE AREA UP IN THE HAYDENVILLE FIFE AREA, UM, HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DONE BY DOMINION CREW.

SO THAT AREA HAS NOW BEEN BUILT.

THAT MIDDLE MILE IS DONE COMPLETE 28 MILES OF FIBER UP THERE.

AND SO NOW THE, UH, THEY'RE GONNA BE FOCUSING ON THE COLUMBIA AREA, SO THE KIND OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF, OF DISTRICT ONE WORKING ON THAT, UM, INTO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024.

AND THEN THEY WILL BE FINISHING UP WITH THE CORROSION AREA AS WELL.

UM, SO, UH, ONE OTHER THING.

THE COUNTY DID SHARE OVER ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, UH, SHARED A POST THAT FIREFLY DID.

UM, BACK IN DECEMBER, OVER TWO WEEKS, THEY EXTENDED A FIBER CONNECTING PALATAN AND GLAND, WHICH IS PART OF THE FIREFLY, GONNA BE PART OF FIREFLY NETWORK, EXTENDED IT UNDERNEATH THE 5 22 BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS GLAND AND PALATAN.

AND SO IT WAS A KIND OF A POST SHOWING THE CREWS AT WORK.

THEY OVER TWO WEEKS, THEY WORKED AT NIGHT GOING UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE TO EXTEND PIPE AND RUN THE CONDUIT IN FIBER UNDERNEATH THERE TO LITERALLY BRIDGE THE DIVIDE BETWEEN GUCCI AND PALATAN AND TO BE PART OF THAT MIDDLE MILE NETWORK THAT, THAT WILL THEN EVENTUALLY GET TO THAT LAST MILE COMPONENT.

SO THAT'S THE PRIMARY UPDATE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AND HAPPY TO, UM, COME BACK WITH MORE INFORMATION.

WE'LL, WE'LL BE BACK NEXT MONTH, AND I THINK WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THE GRANT THAT WE, UM, AUTHORIZED OR THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZED US TO PARTICIPATE IN WITH FIREFLY.

UM, WE'LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT NEXT MONTH BOARD.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MR. DRUMRIGHT? YES, I DO.

MR. LAU? YES.

UH, MR. DRUMRIGHT, UH, IN THERE, AND THIS IS ON THE, UH, PORT 80.

YES, SIR.

I NOTICED THAT THEY PASSED 372 HOMES, BUT ONLY 128 SIGNED UP.

IS THERE ANY REASON THAT, WITH THE CRYING NEED FOR BROADBAND, THAT SORT OF SURPRISED ME.

A A COUPLE DIFFERENT REASONS.

JUST, IT RANGES FROM, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD OF JUST FOLKS EITHER NOT INTERESTED OR THEY'VE ALREADY GONE WITH ANOTHER PROVIDER, SAY STARLINK, UM, OR FOR, SO THERE'S JUST A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THAT.

UM, BUT WE HAVE FOR THAT, WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE CONNECTIONS WE WERE HOPING TO HAVE, BUT THE STATE DOES NOT DINGING US FOR THAT.

SO WE, IT, IT'S, WHAT THEY VALUE IT AS IS PASSINGS.

SO IT'S AVAILABLE IF SOMEBODY WANTS IT.

UH, AND IT'S STILL AVAILABLE FOR INDIVIDUALS THERE.

THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, NOW HAVE TO CALL AND SIGN TO GET HOOKED UP.

UM, THOSE CREWS HAVE REALLY LEFT THE AREA AND WE'RE WRAPPING UP THAT PROJECT.

UM, BUT SO THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEN THE FUTURE SOMEBODY COULDN'T SIGN UP FOR THAT SERVICE.

IT JUST, AT, AT THE, UH, WHERE WE ARE NOW, WE'VE NOT HAD ANY ADDITIONAL FOLKS REALLY SIGN UP FOR THAT.

AND THAT WAS A MUCH SMALLER AREA.

THE FIREFLY AREA OBVIOUSLY IS A VERY, VERY LARGE AREA COMPARED.

SO THE THE TWO PROJECTS REALLY ARE APPLES TO ORANGES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? THANK YOU MR. MIAH.

REGIONAL MEETINGS OR COMMITTEES ON WHICH WE SET? UM, CBTA HASN'T MET SINCE WE LAST MET.

UM, NOW WE MOVE ON TO, UH, BOARD REPORTS.

ARE THERE ANY, UH, COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD ON

[6. Board Reports]

JUST, UM, CONTINUING MY INTEREST IN AGRICULTURAL I, I I WILL MENTION IN PASSING THAT, UH, THE MONON DISTRICT, WHICH I JUST LEFT, WILL HAVE IT'S ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING ON THE 22ND.

UH, THE COMBINATE NOMINATING REPORT FROM THAT COMMITTEE IS THAT JOHN ENSBERG FROM, UH, PALATAN AND SEBASTIAN VOLKER FROM UCHIN WILL BE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.

UH, THERE'S STILL AN AT LARGE DIRECTOR POSITION OPEN.

UH, THE APPLICATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE MONICA WEBSITE.

UH, AND

[00:25:01]

THAT WOULD BE APPOINTED BY THE STATE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT.

UM, I'LL ALSO MENTION THAT THE VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICTS HAVE THEIR LEGISLATIVE DAY ON THE 11TH.

UH, I KNOW WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE, UH, CONTINGENT OR REPRESENTATIVES PRIOR TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY GOING INTO SESSION.

UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR IS ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE ASSOCIATION, THE SOIL ASSOCIATION IS GONNA PROMOTE DOWN THERE.

UM, ONE OF WHICH IS, IS THE, UH, WELL, ACTUALLY THAT'S THE FARM BUREAU AT WHICH I'LL THEN MENTION THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THEIR LEGISLATIVE DAY ON THE 28TH AND THE 29TH SOLAR, UH, COLLECTION FACILITIES ARE BEING RUMORED AND THERE MAY BE LEGISLATION ALREADY FILED THAT WOULD REMOVE COUNTIES FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE LOCATION OF THOSE FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE.

SO, UH, TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS, I STRONGLY BELIEVE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, THOSE KIND OF DECISIONS.

UM, I ALSO JUST MENTIONED IN PASSING THAT THE, UH, CAPITAL REGION LAND CONSERVANCY EXECUTED YET ANOTHER LAND CONSERVATION.

IT WAS IN PALATAN.

UM, THE, UH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE CRLC SAID THAT THEY HAVE EXECUTED, UH, CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN EVERY LOCALITY THAT THEY PARTICIPATE WITH EXCEPT GLAND.

SO I AM TAKING THAT AS A PERSONAL CHALLENGE THAT WE WOULD FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT LAND AND CONSERVATION EASEMENT HERE IN THE COUNTY IF, UH, AT ALL POSSIBLE.

UM, AND THE LAST THING I'LL MENTION IS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED THAT FARM BUREAU IS NO LONGER GONNA WRITE INSURANCE IN GOOCHLAND OR IN VIRGINIA.

AND THAT IS, THAT IS A MISUNDERSTANDING.

UH, NOT TO GET INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT FARM BUREAU HAS MULTIPLE CARRIERS UNDERNEATH ITS UMBRELLA.

ONE OF THOSE CARRIERS IS NOT GONNA CARRY INSURANCE IN THE COMMONWEALTH, BUT FARM BUREAU ASSURANCE IS STILL AVAILABLE.

UH, AND, UH, IF YOU CALL THE LOCAL GUCH AND FARM BUREAU OFFICE, THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO, UH, HELP YOU GET THE RIGHT KIND OF COVERAGE THAT YOU MIGHT NEED FOR YOUR FARM OR EVEN RESIDENTIAL OR HOME.

AND THAT'S THE INFORMATION I CAN SHARE.

MR. CHAIR.

THANK YOU, MR. LYLE.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? BOARD REPORTS.

DETERMINE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN AUGUST.

UM, WE NOW MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

UH, THESE ARE ITEMS OF A ROUTINE NATURE THAT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND DISCUSSED WITH

[XI. Consent Agenda]

THE STAFF.

UH, MR. CARPENTER WILL NOW GIVE A REVIEW OF THE ITEMS FOR OUR CONSIDERATION.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBER OF THE BOARD, YOU HAVE FOUR ITEMS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT.

THE FIRST ITEM, RESOLUTION 59 19 CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS WITHIN TUCKER HOPE BRIDGE.

SECTION ONE SUBDIVISION IS COMPLETE.

BDOT HAS NOTIFIED THE COUNTY THAT CERTAIN STREETS ARE READY TO BE ACCEPTED INTO THE STATE'S SECONDARY ROAD SYSTEM FOR MAINTENANCE.

UPON THE BOARD'S ADOPTION OF THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION, THE ROADS REQUESTED TO BE ACCEPTED ARE 0.36 MILES OF TUCKAHOE BRIDGE DRIVE ROUTE 1235 IN TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS, POINT 11 MILES OF ELLIS FARM DRIVE, ROUTE 1236 IN TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS AND 0.19 MILES OF ELLIS FARM WAY ROUTE 1237 IN TWO SECTIONS.

THE NEXT RESOLUTION 58 69.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING BUDGET.

BUDGET SUPPLEMENTS TOTALING $543,767 AS DESCRIBED BELOW, 442,298 TO THE SCHOOL OPERATING FUND DUE TO STATE BUDGET AMENDMENTS TO SUPPORT TUTORING, VA LITERACY ACT IMPLEMENTATION, ATTENDANCE IMPROVEMENTS, 2% SALARY INCREASE AND REDUCTION OF SUPPORT STAFF CAP AND E-S-S-E-R ESSER GRANT RELATED COSTS, NO LOCAL MATCH IS REQUIRED.

AND THEN $101,469 TO THE SCHOOL FEDERAL FUND DUE TO ADDITIONAL FUNDS RECEIVED FOR TITLE ONE A AND TITLE 1D, AGAIN, NO LOCAL MATCHES REQUIRED.

THE THIRD ITEM, RESOLUTION 59 22.

AT ITS DECEMBER 5TH MEETING, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DEFERRED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE TO FEBRUARY, 2024 TO GIVE STAFF MORE TIME TO RESPOND TO CONCERN TO THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

AFTER REVIEWING THE BOARD MEETING SCHEDULED COUNTY ADMINISTRATIONS REALIZED THE ONLY PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FEBRUARY REGULAR MEETING WAS THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.

THAT IT APPEARS THE BOARD WOULD HAVE ONLY ONE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITS AGENDA FOR THE MARCH REGULAR MEETING.

IN ORDER MORE EFFICIENTLY MANAGE THE BOARD'S MEETING SCHEDULE AND STAFF TIME.

I RECOMMEND THE BOARD DEFERRED THIS PUBLIC HEARING TO THE BOARD'S MARCH REGULAR MEETING.

WHEN IT IS ANTICIPATED, THERE'S ALREADY ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING THAT WILL BE HELD.

THEN FINALLY, RESOLUTION 58 60 A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS WAS ISSUED ON JUNE 22ND TO CONTRACT A FIRM FOR PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES TO DESIGN THE WEST CREEK FIRE AND RESCUE STATION.

THE COUNTY RECEIVED NINE PROPOSALS, WHICH WERE EVALUATED AND RANKED BY AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE WITH OVERSIGHT BY THE PURCHASING DIRECTOR.

A SHORT LIST OF FIRMS TO

[00:30:01]

AFTER INTERVIEWS, THE COMMITTEE SELECTED ONE FIRM TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY AND THEN CONDUCTED NEGOTIATIONS AS A RESULT.

ACTION ITEM MEETING OF JANUARY 2ND, 2024, PAGE TWO, THE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING THE CONTRACT AWARD TO HBA ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN IN THE AMOUNT OF $752,350.

FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT WAS APPROVED IN THIS YEAR'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET AND THEREFORE NO APPROPRIATION FUNDS IS REQUIRED FOR THIS CONTRACT TO BE ACCEPTED.

THE CONTRACT IS ATTACHED AND HAS BEEN APPROVED AS TO FORM BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

The property is zoned Agricultural, Limited (A-2). The CUP is required by County Zoning Ordinance Sec. 15-112 in accordance with Sec. 15-285.A. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Single-Family Residential, Low Density.]

GOOD EVENING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

WE DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, AND THIS IS AN APPLICATION FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN ACCESSORY FAMILY HOUSING UNIT, WHICH IS DETACHED.

UM, THIS APPLICATION IS BY MARVIN AND TAMIN HOWELL.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY, AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE RED CIRCLE ON THE MAP.

UM, MORE SPECIFICALLY, UM, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON ART ROAD, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE AERIAL ART ROAD.

AND THEN YOU HAVE HERMITAGE ROAD.

AND FOR BETTER CONTEXT, YOU HAVE SNEAD ROAD RIGHT THERE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN, IN RED.

THE PROPERTY IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL GENERAL, WHICH IS, UM, THE AGRICULTURAL, UH, ZONING FOR THIS AREA.

AND WE ALSO HAVE THE DESIGNATION FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE SECOND MAP.

AND IT IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOAD DENSITY, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL RECOMMENDATION.

SO ON THE MAP THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

SO I'M GONNA KIND OF DESCRIBE, UH, IT IN COLOR.

UH, I PROVIDED THE COLOR FOR CLARITY.

THE UNDERLYING MAP IS THE APPLICANT'S MAP.

SO THE APPLICATION, UM, IS FOR A PROPERTY THAT HAS CURRENTLY TWO EXISTING DWELLINGS.

UM, THE RED IS THE HOUSE THAT WILL REMAIN ON THE PROPERTY.

IT WAS BUILT IN 1973.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 1400 SQUARE FEET.

THE SECOND, UH, HOUSE THAT'S ALREADY EXISTING ON THE PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.

THAT ONE IS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED.

IT'S AN OLDER HOME BUILT IN 1930 AND IS CURRENTLY UNINHABITABLE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE HOUSE.

IT'S CIRCLED IN THE GREEN AND, UH, PLACE.

THE NEW HOUSE, UM, APPROXIMATELY WHERE THE BLUE CIRCLE IS, UH, THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE TO MEET ALL THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

SO THAT IS AN APPROXIMATE LOCATION.

UM, THIS IS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

UH, IF THIS WAS AN ATTACHED ACCESSORY H HOUSING UNIT FOR, UH, IN-LAW SUITE OR WHATEVER, IF IT WAS ATTACHED, IT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY WRIGHT.

THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO REGISTER IT WITH THE COUNTY.

UM, SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I MENTIONED IS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

LOW IS THE DESIGNATION, WHICH IS A, UM, RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION.

WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT ARE IMPOSED THROUGH THE CUP, IT IS CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THERE WAS A COMMUNITY MEETING BACK IN OCTOBER.

UH, THERE WERE TWO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY IN ATTENDANCE, BOTH EXPRESS SUPPORT.

AND BACK IN DECEMBER THERE WAS A PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON, UM, BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND NOBODY SPOKE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO I'M GONNA RUN THROUGH, UH, THE USES THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS.

OF COURSE, THIS IS UP TO THE BOARD TO, UM, TO EITHER CHANGE ANY OF THESE OR, OR RECOM OR ACCEPT 'EM AS RECOMMENDED.

UM, THE USE OF THE PROPERTY, UM, FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS THEY'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE A DETACHED FAMILY ACCESSORY USE.

UM, ON THE PROPERTY, UH, THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON THE USE.

ONLY FAMILY OF THE PRINCIPAL DWELLING MAY RESIDE IN THE ACCESSORY FAMILY HOUSING UNIT.

UH, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO RENT, UH, BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE, UM,

[01:05:01]

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.

SEPARATELY, THEY MUST EITHER BE RENTED AS A WHOLE AND MAINTAINED AS FAMILY, UM, OR RENTED BY THE APP OR, OR HELD BY THE APPLICANT.

UM, THE SITE PLAN, WHICH I SHOWED YOU, THE ONE THAT I MARKED UP, IT GENERALLY HAS TO CONFORM TO THAT.

AS I SAID, UM, IN THE PRESENTATION, IT WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL THE, UH, ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

DEMOLITION.

SO THIS IS A, UM, CONDITION THAT WAS ADDED.

THAT'S NOT ONE OF OUR NORMAL, UH, STANDARD CONDITIONS.

THIS IS HERE JUST TO ENSURE THAT THE PROPER DISPOSAL AND PROPER PERMITS ARE RECEIVED.

WHEN, UM, GETTING, UH, THE DEMO IN DEMOLISHING THE 1930S HOUSE, UH, NUMBER SIX, CARBON MONOXIDE AND SMOKE DETECTORS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED EMERGENCY ACCESS, UM, UH, TO ALLOW THAT.

UM, BOTH, YOU KNOW, BOTH HOUSES ARE, UM, ACCESS BY FIRE RESCUE.

BOTH HOUSES WILL BE PER, UH, USING THE SAME DRIVEWAY ONTO ART ROAD.

THEY WILL NOT BE ACCESSING HERMITAGE.

SO IT'LL BE USING AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY.

AND FIRE RESCUE HAS, UH, ALREADY REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION.

UH, THE EXPIRATION DATE IS A FIVE-YEAR EXPIRATION DATE.

SO THEY WOULD BE, UM, UH, ELIGIBLE TO RENEW IN JANUARY 20, 29.

AND THE LAST ONE IS OUR TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP.

SO WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT IF THEY WERE TO SELL THE PROPERTY, OR IF THEY WERE TO LEASE THE PROPERTY TO SOMEBODY ELSE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BOTH NOTIFY THE COUNTY THAT THE, THE CHANGE HAS OCCURRED, BUT ALSO NOTIFY THE, THE NEW OWNER OR LEASE THAT, UH, THESE CONDITIONS APPLY TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

'CAUSE AS, UM, AS I MENTIONED TO YOU ALL BEFORE, A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, THE USE DOES RUN WITH THE LAND.

SO IT, IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO THE OWNER, BUT THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

SO THAT IS MY VERY QUICK PRESENTATION.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UH, THE HOWS ARE BOTH, UM, IN ATTENDANCE AND THEY'D BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL.

ANY QUESTIONS TO THE STAFF REPORT RUSH? OKAY.

UM, THANK YOU MS. SHERRY.

OF COURSE.

UH, NOW THAT WE'VE HAD THE STAFF REPORT, WE'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, UPON CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE APPLICATION STAFF MAY ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS NOTED IN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, AS WITH CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD, SAME CONDITIONS APPLY.

UH, PLEASE, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WHEN YOU COME TO THE PODIUM.

ANY COMMENT? PUBLIC COMMENTS, PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

SEEING NO COMMENTS, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, WOULD THE APPLICANT OR STAFF LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? MR. HOWELL? THANK YOU.

HI, HOW YOU DOING? I'M WELL.

ALRIGHT.

MY NAME IS MARVIN HOWELL.

THIS IS MY WIFE TAMARA.

UM, WE AT 7 63 OAK SPRING LANE, MANION.

UM, I'M JUST, UH, I JUST GLAD TO BE HOME.

I, I WANT TO LIVE BESIDE MY FATHER AND MY SISTER AND AS I SEE, UM, AS TIME GOING ON AND, UM, PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT AND I'M ONE OF THE, ALMOST ONE OF THE LAST MOHICANS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW.

AND, UH, I LOVE TO BE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND, UH, HOPE Y'ALL WAS WELL.

THANK Y'ALL FOR COMING.

CAN I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO THE APPLICATION? I SOLE MOVE TO ACCEPT IT.

SECOND, SECOND.
