AND SO WITH THESE DOCUMENTS, WE APPLY TO ANYONE WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF GLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEE, BOARD MEMBER OR APPOINTEE THE SAME, UH, STANDARDS OF CODES OF ETHICS AND AND SO FORTH.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL MR. CARPENTER, WOULD YOU TAKE THE ROLE, PLEASE? MR. CHRISTIE? YES.

UH, MR. WINFREY? YES.

RECEIVED A BLACK LINE PROPOSED PROPOSAL PREVIOUSLY TO, TO COVER CHANGES.

OUR NEXT RESOLUTION, WE'LL ADOPT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 2025 RULES OF PROCEDURE.

YOU HAVE

[4. Resolution Adopting Board of Supervisors' 2025 Rules of Procedure]

MS. MCGEE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE CHANGES? I WOULD THANK YOU.

UH, MR. WINFREY, UM, THIS YEAR THERE WERE SOME CHANGES PROPOSED TO YOUR RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, UM, SECTIONS ABOUT MEETINGS, AND THAT WOULD BE UNDER THE REGULAR MEETINGS.

THE RESERVE DATE AND THE CANCELED MEETINGS HAVE BEEN AMENDED.

REALLY JUST TO CLARIFY THE PROCESS FOR, UM, PARTICULARLY FOR USING THE RESERVE DATE AND FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER, I DISCOVERED AS WE MOVED THIS HEARING FROM JANUARY 7TH TO TODAY, DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER, THAT THE RULES OF PROCEDURE WERE NOT AS CLEAR AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU COULD USE THIS DATE OR ANY OTHER DATE.

AND SO I SIMPLY STRUCK THROUGH TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

AND THAT IS A VERY INCONSISTENT WITH, EXCUSE ME, VERY CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW.

IT'S BASED ON STATE LAW.

THEN WITH RESPECT TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, THE JOURNAL ASSEMBLY THIS PAST YEAR PASSED SOME CHANGES THAT ALLOWED A FEW MORE WAYS THAT YOU COULD, UH, UH, PARTICIPATE ELECTRONICALLY.

AND I'VE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR RULES THAT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE SHOULD YOU NEED TO.

ONE OF THOSE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, CAREGIVING FOR A DISABLED, UH, FAMILY MEMBER WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL REASON.

THEN WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 2.09, I'VE MADE A CHANGE, UH, WITH RESPECT TO MOTIONS.

AND THERE ARE, UM, TWO THINGS.

ONE IS A CLARIFICATION REGARDING TIE VOTES.

'CAUSE I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS VERY CLEAR WHEN WE HAD A TIE VOTE, WHAT SHOULD SOMEONE DO NEXT? AND SO I ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE THAT I THOUGHT MADE IT MORE EXPLANATORY WHAT THE OPTIONS WERE AT A TIE VOTE.

AND THEN I ACTUALLY ADDED A MOTION TO RECONSIDER, UH, WHICH IS ALLOWED UNDER PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE AND UNDER ROBERT'S RULES, WE HADN'T HAD IT IN OUR RULES BEFORE.

AND I FELT THAT ADDING IT OFFERED A DIFFERENT OPTION FOR WHEN YOU HAVE A TIE VOTE THAT PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE AS CONCERNED THAT THEY'D BE TURNING DOWN A WHOLE CASE, OR IF THEY DID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A WAY TO RECONSIDER IT WITHIN THE SAME BOARD MEETING.

SO, UM, I PROPOSED THAT CHANGE TO YOU ALL AS SOMETHING THAT I SAW BASED ON HOW YOUR MEETINGS HAD GONE, THAT I THOUGHT THIS WOULD IMPROVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR PROCEDURE.

AND THEN FINALLY, WITH RESPECT TO THE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD AND PUBLIC HEARINGS, UM, THERE IS A PROPOSED RULES CHANGE THAT CITIZENS WHO WANT, UH, BOARD MEMBERS TO CONSIDER PRESENTATIONS, USUALLY POWERPOINT SLIDES,

[00:10:01]

BUT EVEN AUDIO AND VIDEO TO MAKE THE MEETINGS RUN SMOOTHER.

AND TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A, A GOOD RECORD OF IT.

THE REQUEST IS THAT THOSE GET SUBMITTED TO THE DEPUTY CLERK BY NOON ON THE LAST BUSINESS DAY BEFORE THE MEETING.

SO THEY CAN BE LOADED UP AND READY AND SAVED TO RUN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BOARD FOR WHEN THAT IS GOING TO O'CLOCK, UH, UH, OCCUR.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO YOUR THIS YEAR'S RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

WELL, FIRST OFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THAT AND CLARIFICATION.

IT'S VERY HELPFUL.

UM, THE BOARD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU'VE RECEIVED THE, UH, PROPOSAL PREVIOUSLY TO, WHICH COVERS THESE CHANGES.

UM, DO I HAVE A MOTION, MR. CHAIRMAN? I'LL MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

AND FINALLY, WE HAVE A RESOLUTION SETTING THE 2025 MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

DO I HAVE A MOTION, MR. CHAIR? I MOVE THE BOARD, ADOPT THE RESOLUTION, ESTABLISHING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 2025 MEETING

[5. Resolution Establishing the Board of Supervisors’ 2025 Meeting Schedule]

SCHEDULE AS PRESENTED.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AND THIS IS, UH, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL, YOU ALL HAVE BESTOWED IN ME.

ANY OPPOSED? ALRIGHT.

UM, LET ME JUST SAY, UM, TO MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES, UH, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE FAITH THAT YOU

[V. Chair's Comments]

UH, TO BE YOUR CHAIRMAN, I'LL WORK VERY DIFFICULT, VERY DILIGENTLY TO, UH, TO EARN YOUR RESPECT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH JONATHAN CHRISTIE AS, AS VICE CHAIR.

AND THANK YOU, DEAR.

IT MAKES IT REAL OFFICIAL NOW, , , UM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

VERY POSITIVE THINGS, UH, NOT ONLY IN OUR COUNTY, BUT OUR COUNTRY AS WELL.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU ALL, BUT I'M STILL EUPHORIC.

UM, AND I'M, I'M VERY HAPPY.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL AND I'LL TRY TO DO MY BEST.

MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE, IF I MAY, I WANNA THANK MR. VAS FOR THE LAST YEAR SERVING AS CHAIRMAN BECAUSE WE, WE, WE WERE A CIRCUS ON TIMES, AND SO WE NEEDED A RINGMASTER.

AND CHARLIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS THERE WITH THAT.

THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES FROM THE LAST SIX WEEKS.

OKAY, MR. CARPENTER, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD JUST, UH, WANT TO PUBLICLY RECOGNIZE

[VI. County Administrator's Comments]

AS YOU KNOW, UH, LAST TIME WE MET, IT WAS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

AND SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD A, A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN.

UH, WATER ISSUES, COLD WEATHER ISSUES, SNOW AND ICE AMONG OTHERS.

AND SO I JUST WANNA PUBLICLY THANK THE COUNTY EMPLOYEE, THE TEAM MEMBERS THAT MADE THINGS HAPPEN, THAT MADE THINGS WORK, AND A GREAT APPRECIATION IS DELIVERED TO ALL OF THEM.

THOSE WE SAW, THOSE WE DIDN'T SEE, THEY ALL MADE IT HAPPEN.

CONGRATULATIONS.

ONE OF THE HAPPY THINGS ABOUT THIS JOB.

VERY WELL.

WE HAVE ANOTHER HAPPY, ANOTHER HAPPY THING TO OCCUR.

UH, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION

[2. Presentation by GCPS Students on Work Based Learning and Workforce Development]

MR. BRUCE WATSON, I'LL, I'LL KICK IT OFF.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. CARPENTER, THANK YOU FOR GIVING OUR STUDENTS TIME TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR WORK-BASED LEARNING PROGRAM AND THE PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM THAT THEY ARE DEVELOPING TO GROW THIS PROGRAM TO WORK WITH OUR DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY AND OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO THEIR AMAZING TEACHER, MRS. YEL PATTON, ALSO KNOWN AS MS EYP.

TONE IT OVER TO OUR AMAZING STUDENTS SO THEY CAN SHOW YOU AT GHS WHAT WBL IS DOING, BUT ALSO WHAT IT'S DOING FOR OUR WONDERFUL COMMUNITY.

I ECHO THOSE SENTIMENTS OF GRATITUDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BEFORE Y'ALL THIS AFTERNOON.

AND THANK YOU, MA'AM FOR YOUR HELP.

AS WELL.

AS WE KNOW, GCP S'S MISSION IS TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF EVERY LEARNER.

IT'S CATCHY, IT'S IMPACTFUL, AND IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER, BUT IT'S MORE DIFFICULT IN PRACTICE.

HONESTLY.

I SPEND A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME REFLECTING ON THE HOW OF THIS CALL TO ACTION.

I SEE MY AMAZING COLLEAGUES ENSURE THIS MISSION, AND I REALIZE THAT THE HEART OF THE CHARGE IS ENGAGEMENT.

AND AS OUR ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF INSTRUCTION, DR.

GEIER ALWAYS SAYS, AND CONSTANTLY ASK US, IS IT WHAT BEST FOR KIDS? I CAN SAY UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IN REGARDS TO WORK-BASED LEARNING WBL IS YES, WE PRESENT IT IN FRONT OF COLLEAGUES, OUR ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL BOARD.

EACH TIME THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THE STUDENTS, WHICH IT SHOULD BE.

HOWEVER, AS I REFLECTED ON THIS PRESENTATION, I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW OUR STUDENTS SUPPORT OUR COUNTY'S GOALS AND THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OUR FUTURE.

THE WBL PROGRAM IS INSTRUMENTAL IN CREATING GLAND'S NEXT GENERATION OF ENTREPRENEURS, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, WORKING PROFESSIONALS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND HOPEFULLY A FEW OF YOUR MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR YOUTH TO WORK IN, GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY, SHOULD BE THE FOCUS OF ANY VIBRANT WBL PROGRAM.

AND IF I MAY FOR JUST A MOMENT, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU AS A CITIZEN AND AS A MOTHER.

MY SON HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR TO GO THROUGH THE SCHOOL'S EMT PROGRAM, WHICH IS DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FIRE AND RESCUE.

HE LOGGED OVER A HUNDRED HOURS WITH EXCEPTIONAL MEN AND WOMEN OF THE FIRE STATIONS ACROSS THIS COMMUNITY.

THE NEXT STEP WAS TO PASS HIS NATIONAL REGISTER EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN EXAM, WHICH HE DID TODAY.

I SEE WBLS OBJECTIVES COME FULL CIRCLE, AND NOW HE RUNS RESCUE FOR OUR COUNTY.

YES, CLEARLY I'M A VERY GRATEFUL AND PROUD MAMA, BUT IN MY ECONOMICS CLASS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT.

I SEE THAT SAME INVESTMENT AND THE WONDERFUL YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN BEHIND ME WHO YOU WILL HEAR FROM THIS AFTERNOON, I'VE SEEN THE IMPACT OF WB ALL ON THEM AS WELL, AND I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THE PROGRESS THEY'VE MADE IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IN REBRANDING THIS PROGRAM.

I'M EXCITED, I'M HONORED, AND I'M EXTREMELY PROUD TO

[00:20:01]

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEMBERS, MR. CARPENTER, MS. MCGEE, AND MADAM DE DEPUTY CLERK.

I'M EVA GARRISON, A SENIOR AT UCHIN HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS AFTERNOON YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT HIGH QUALITY WORK-BASED LEARNING EXAMPLES FROM SOME OF OUR CTE STUDENTS, MY CLASSMATES, AND .

I'M A MEMBER OF A HIGH SCHOOL'S INTERNAL MARKETING FIRM.

MARKET UP.

MARKET UP IS AN EXAMPLE OF WORK-BASED LEARNING, SPECIFICALLY A SCHOOL-BASED ENTERPRISE.

MY TEAMMATES AND I PROUDLY CONTINUE THE LEGACY STARTED BY ALUMNI WHEN WE WERE IN ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE AND SHARE WITH YOU OUR MOST RECENT PROJECT, THE REBRANDING OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL'S HIGH QUALITY WORK-BASED LEARNING PROGRAM, WHICH WE REFER TO AS WBL.

WE BELIEVE EVERY EXPERIENCE AT UCHIN HIGH SCHOOL IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.

OUR WORK IS A TEAM EFFORT.

WE HAVE COLLABORATED FOR MONTHS WITH OUR CLIENTS AND OUR TARGET MARKETS.

THIS INCLUDES LEADERSHIP FROM OUR CENTRAL OFFICE AND HIGH SCHOOL, OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS, FAMILIES, TEACHERS, AND PEERS.

THIS SEMESTER WE WILL MEET WITH MEMBERS OF OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO ENSURE WE ARE CREATING THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE REBRAND POSSIBLE.

SO LET'S GET READY AS WBLS TAGLINE SUGGESTS AND LEARN WHAT TEST, DRIVING AND CAREER IS ALL ABOUT.

MY NAME IS CHELSEA BREEDLOVE AND I'M A JUNIOR AT G-H-S-W-B-L EXISTS TO OFFER EXACTLY WHAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN SCHOOL COORDINATED WORKPLACE EXPERIENCES RELATED TO OUR CAREER GOALS AND OR INTEREST INTEGRATED WITH INSTRUCTION AND PERFORMED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

WBL GIVES STUDENTS LIKE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE CAREERS AND DETERMINE IF THEY'RE A GOOD FIT FOR US.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH WBL IS AN EXAMPLE OF SERVICE LEARNING.

I AM PARTNERING WITH CHEN PAL AND CASA, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT STANDS FOR COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES.

CASA WORKS WITH CHILDREN DURING THE COURT PROCESS TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS.

THIS WBL IS HELPING ME WITH MY FUTURE CAREER GOALS BY INCREASING MY COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION SKILLS.

I WANT TO BE A PEDIATRIC NURSE.

LAST SEMESTER I WORKED FOR THE DIRECTOR OF CASA MS. TOWNSEND TO CREATE THE LOGO ON THE LEFT FOR GUIN PEAN'S CASA COMMUNITY CHALLENGE, A FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

MS. TOWNSEND WAS MY SEVENTH GRADE SPANISH TEACHER AT GUIN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND NOW SERVES AS MY SUPERVISOR.

BEING ABLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE MY FORMER TEACHER WHO IS NOW A-G-C-P-S INDUSTRY PARTNER, HAS BEEN VERY IMPACTFUL.

EQUALLY AS IMPACTFUL AS THAT MY WBL DOES NOT END THIS YEAR.

IT WILL EVOLVE AND SERVICE MY SENIOR PROJECT, AT WHICH POINT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ANOTHER WBL AN INTERNSHIP.

THE CONTINUATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ARE CORNERSTONES OF WBL.

ALL OF THESE EXPERIENCES WILL BENEFIT MY FUTURE CAREER OF BEING A PEDIATRIC NURSE BY PROVIDING VALUABLE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS I'LL CARRY WITH ME.

MY NAME IS MELVIN ROPER AND I'M A JUNIOR AT GHS CHELSEA'S WBO IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE MANY OPPORTUNITIES STUDENTS HAVE WHEN SELECTING A WBO.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, THERE ARE 12 TOTAL CATEGORIES TO CHOOSE FROM.

THESE RANGE FROM JOB SHADOWING FOR CAREER EXPOSURE TO FULL-FLEDGED INTERNSHIPS, APP EXTERNSHIPS, AS WELL AS CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND APPRENTICESHIPS.

MY ROLE IN THIS MARKETING CAMPAIGN WAS TO MEET WITH VARIOUS DISTRICT AND SCHOOL LEVEL LEADERS AND CONDUCT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

WE STARTED WITH THE DIRECTOR OF CTE, MR. WATSON AND GHS PRINCIPAL MR. HAN.

FROM THOSE MEETINGS, MY CLASSMATE PRESTON AND I IDENTIFIED FOUR KEY OBJECTIVES.

INCREASED COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF WBL, EDUCATE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WBL, SIMPLIFIED WBL TRACKING FOR SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND TEACHERS, AND PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS.

ONCE THE GOALS WERE ESTABLISHED, WE KNEW EDUCATING OUR AUDIENCE WOULD BE CRUCIAL TO OUR CAMPAIGN.

TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE CREATED A WBL INFORMATION PAPER FOR PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS TO HELP FURTHER THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROGRAM.

WE MADE THIS PRODUCT WITH ACCESSIBILITY IN MIND TO

[00:25:01]

INCREASE USABILITY.

IT CAN BE HANDED OUT IN PERSON, MAILED TO FAMILIES, SCANNED VIA QR CODE, OR DIRECTLY EMAILED.

WE ALSO IDENTIFIED A NEED TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PAPER TO EDUCATE OUR TARGET AUDIENCE OF THE 12 WBL EXPERIENCES I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS WAS NO EASY TASK AND TOOK MANY ITERATIONS.

MY NAME IS LILY YOKUM AND I'M A JUNIOR AT GLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

I LED THE TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WBL OPPORTUNITIES INFORMATION PRODUCT.

WE KNEW OUR DESIGN HAD TO BE SIMPLE AND THE VISUAL COMPONENTS IMPACTFUL.

I SIGN EACH TEAM MEMBER ONE WBL AND THEY CREATED THE ICONS YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN.

AS A TEAM.

WE HAD EXERCISED A GREAT DEAL OF PATIENCE, COMMUNICATION, AND RESILIENCE.

WE KNEW SELECTING IMPACTFUL ICONS WAS IMPORTANT, SO WE TOOK THE NECESSARY TIME TO GET IT RIGHT.

WHEN THIS WAS COMPLETE, WE TURNED OUR ATTENTION TO GETTING THE WORDS IN THE LENGTH RIGHT.

THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS DOCUMENT WAS STARTED IN THE LIBRARY.

IN THE LIBRARY WITH OUR LIBRARY, LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST, MS. BA.

WE STARTED BY CREATING THE BASE YOU SEE HERE.

ADDING EACH WBLS DESCRIPTION TO THE ICON SPACE CONTINUED TO BE A ISSUE AS THE DOCUMENT WAS OVER 10 PAGES LONG.

WITH EACH REWORK WE REMAIN OPTIMISTIC, KNOWING WE WERE GETTING CLOSER TO THE FINAL PRODUCT.

DURING ONE OF OUR WORK SESSIONS, I WAS LISTENING TO EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKED AND DIDN'T, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE FUTURE.

I TOOK ALL OF THE FEEDBACK INTO CONSIDERATION AND WHILE STUDYING RIGHT THERE, I CREATED THE ONE PAGER.

THEN I TOOK THE DOCUMENT.

AND WITH THE HELP OF DR.

EAST, WE FINALIZED THE PRODUCT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU NOW SEE.

ONCE WE HAD A PRODUCT EXPLAINING WB OPPORTUNITIES, WE HAD TO DEVELOP A WAY FOR FAMILIES TO CHOOSE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS SITUATION AND FUTURE GOALS.

SOME CRUCIAL SKILLS WE DISCUSSED IN CLASS WHEN PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE WORKFORCE AND TEAMWORK AND INITIATIVE.

I WAS A PART OF THE TEAM AND HAD PUT THE FOLLOWING SLIDES TOGETHER, BUT NOT THE LEAD.

OUR TEAM LEADER IS CURRENTLY OUT PLAYING FOR ANOTHER TEAM, OUR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM.

LUKE, WE WISH TO, WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

GO BULLDOGS.

LUKE MANAGED THIS PROCESS IN SUCH A WAY THAT I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE REPRESENTING THE TEAM THIS EVENING.

MY GOAL IS TO BE A LEADER IN THE FIN IN THE FINANCIAL SECTOR.

SO I'M CONFIDENT I WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

AS A TEAM, WE DECIDED A FLOWCHART WOULD BE THE IDEAL RESOURCE FOR CHOOSING A WBL.

LUKE'S ROLE IN THIS PROJECT WAS TO HELP GUIDE US THROUGH THE BUILDING, THE FOUNDATION FOR THE PROCESS FLOW.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE A PROJECT MANAGER.

THE LOGIC BEHIND THE SLIDE, YOU SEE, WAS TO SHOW THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF A FLOW CHART AND TO DISPLAY THE INFORMATION GATHERED.

FIRST OUR TEAM WENT, MET WITH MISS EYP IN THE LEARNING COMMONS AND CREATED SEVERAL PROTOTYPES, WHICH WE LATER CONSOLIDATED.

WE RETURNED TO CLASS MISS UIP AND LUKE FINALIZED THE ORDER OF THE STEPS IN THE CLASSROOM.

WHITEBOARD ALONG WITH THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS, OUR DISTRICT LEVEL LEADERS, MR. WATSON AND DR.

EAST.

JOHNNY AND CHASE, TWO OF MY TEAMMATES WERE FOLLOWING ALONG AND BEGIN BUILDING THEIR FLOWCHARTS IN CANVA.

JOHNNY AND CHASE WILL NOW SHARE WITH YOU WHAT WE WORKED THROUGH FINALIZING THE PRODUCT.

AND APPLY IT IN THE WORKING WORLD.

MY NAME IS CHASE CRANES AND I'M A SENIOR AT GLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

AND MY NAME IS JOHNNY VEGA OLIVERS AND I'M A JUNIOR AT GLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

OH.

TOGETHER WE TOOK THE IDEAS FROM OUR PLANNING SESSIONS AND CREATED THE FLOWCHARTS YOU SEE HERE ON YOUR SCREEN.

OUR GOAL WAS TO PRODUCE A FLOWCHART THAT STREAMLINES THE WBL APPLICATION PROCESS SO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WALK AWAY CONFIDENT IN THEIR PERSONALIZED WBL EXPERIENCE.

TO DO THIS, WE HAD TO INCLUDE ALL STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS, INCLUDING STUDENTS, FAMILIES, TEACHERS, SCHOOL COUNSELORS, WBL COORDINATORS AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS.

WE ALSO HAD TO KEEP THE FLOW CHART SIMPLE FOR THE READER TO, TO UNDERSTAND AND ENSURE ALL STEPS WERE SUMMARIZED.

WE FOUND WE COULDN'T FIT EVERYTHING WE NEEDED INTO OUR ORIGINAL FLOW CHARTS.

SO WE TOOK THOSE TWO DESIGNS AND CREATED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE FLOW CHART STARTING WITH THE FIRST RED BOX AND MOVING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.

FAMILIES HAVE A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THEIR WBO APPLICATION PROCESS.

IT INCLUDES HYPERLINKS TO THE INFORMATION PAPER AND SIMPLIFIES THE HELP AND SIMPLIFIES THE HELP THE STEPS THE STUDENT WILL, THE FAMILY WILL GO THROUGH DURING THEIR WBL.

THE BLACK BOXES ON THE BOTTOM INDICATE WHO THE STUDENT WILL BE WORKING WITH WHILE THEY GO THROUGH THEIR WBL JOURNEY.

NOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE WBLS AND AND HOW TO GET STARTED, LET'S SEE WHAT THESE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WELL, WORK-BASED LEARNING IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ANY SKILL SETS THAT YOU MAY LEARN IN THE CLASSROOM

[00:30:01]

UH, WHETHER IT'S YOUR SAE PROJECT OR YOUR JOB SHADOWING THAT YOU DO FOR, UH, ANY OTHER CTE COURSE.

AND IT HELPS DEVELOP AND MAKE THOSE SOFT SKILLS A LITTLE STRONGER, UH, THAT THAT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED IN TODAY'S UH, WORLD.

SO, UM, THERE'S A LOT OF HUGE BENEFITS AND ALSO, UM, IT GIVES A STUDENT AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, EXPLORE A CAREER PATH SO THAT UH, THEY CAN DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY LIKE THAT CAREER OR NOT.

I JUST THINK IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE TO HELP WITH THIS AND IT WAS ALSO FUN.

I MEAN, THIS EXPERIENCE IS COUPLED WITH LIKE OTHERS THAT WE DO WITH FFA TOO THAT JUST HELP US GET INTO THE COMMUNITY.

UH, SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT OF A HIGH STRESS ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE WE WERE ALL PACKED IN THAT TRAILER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BETTER ORGANIZE THINGS.

AND EVERYONE'S YELLING INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NO ONE'S REALLY IN CHARGE.

UH, AND ONE PERSON WHO REALLY STEPPED UP WAS GIGI.

UM, AND IT WAS JUST, IT WAS VERY GOOD FOR TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD, YOU HAD TO WORK TOGETHER 'CAUSE YOU CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE.

YOU HAD TO USE ALL OF YOUR RESOURCES TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

I JUST LOVE HELPING OTHERS AND I THINK THAT, UM, AS A TEACHER WE HAVE TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND WHEN WE SHOW, UM, PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE'S NEEDS FIRST, HELPING OTHERS, WE CAN REALLY SET THAT EXAMPLE AND SET THAT ROLE MODEL HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THINK OF OTHER PEOPLE AND REACH OUT AND BE PART OF A COMMUNITY.

A BIG INSPIRATION WAS KIND OF THAT SERVICE TO COMMUNITY ASPECT THAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TAUGHT, NOT JUST FROM MY PARENTS, BUT LIKE FROM MY TEACHERS, FROM, UM, STAFF SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT COLONEL, WHO ARE THE SENIOR MARINE INSTRUCTOR AND MARINE INSTRUCTOR FOR OUR SCHOOL.

IT'S JUST THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.

I THINK A BIG PART OF BEING A GOOD CITIZEN, NOT JUST, UM, A VIRGINIAN, BUT JUST AS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN, AS HELPING THOSE IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL YOUR COMMUNITY IS, SOMEBODY OUT THERE ALWAYS NEEDS YOUR HELP.

OUR TREATS IS A STUDENT RUN AND SCHOOL SPONSORED FOOD TRUCK THAT SELLS CULTURAL FOODS DURING THE FOOTBALL GAMES.

I ORIGINALLY GOT THE IDEA WHEN WE WERE BOTH IN OUR SPANISH FOOD CLASS OUR SOPHOMORE YEAR DURING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, WHERE OUR TEACHER, MR. REYES, TOLD US TO GO HOME AND MAKE A SPANISH OMELET FOR A QUIZ WRITTEN TO BRING IN AND SHARE WITH THE CLASS .

I GOT THE IDEA TO SPREAD CULTURAL CUISINES 'CAUSE I KNEW EVERY MONTH HAD A MONTH ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

IT IS A LOT OF REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE AND IT'S ALSO A LOT OF THE THINGS I THINK THEY MISS WITH THE SOFT SKILLS PART OF IT.

UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTUALLY FORWARD FACING WITH THE, THE CUSTOMERS.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO TALK TO 'EM, THEY HAVE TO INTERACT.

UM, IT'S ALSO, WE SET IT UP SO IT'S MORE LIKE A BUSINESS WHERE THERE'S PEOPLE IN CHARGE AND YOU HAVE TO RECRUIT PEOPLE TO WORK AND TRAIN PEOPLE AND YOU'RE TRAINING YOUR REPLACEMENT.

SO IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN IF THEY WERE GO TO GO TO WORK IN A RESTAURANT.

IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF EXPERIENCE.

WE HOPE YOU NOW HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WBO AND FEEL EQUIPPED TO SHARE THE POSITIVE IMPACT THIS HAS ON OUR COMMUNITY FROM PROVIDING A PIPELINE FOR EMPLOYMENT TO ALSO CULTIVATING A CITIZENRY THAT EMBODIES OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT'S VISION TO PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT.

MY NAME IS PRESTON TUTHILL AND I'M A SOPHOMORE AT UCHIN HIGH SCHOOL.

AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, EACH STUDENT'S EXPERIENCE WITH WBL DIFFERS BASED ON THEIR PERSONAL WANTS AND NEEDS FOR THEIR CAREER FIELD.

MY JOB IN THIS PROCESS WAS TO INTERVIEW EDUCATORS AND PEERS.

THE VIDEO WE HELPED CREATE HIGHLIGHTS WHAT STUDENTS ARE DOING WITH WBL REAL LIFE EXPERIE EXPERIENCES AND HOW WE'RE HELPING THE COMMUNITY.

WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS WHO WERE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO FOR THEIR WORK WITH WBL.

WE WILL NOW SHARE WITH YOU SOME PRODUCTS THEY CREATED FROM WORK-BASED LEARNING.

[00:35:25]

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU AND OUR COMMUNITY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE POSSIBILITIES THAT WORK-BASED LEARNING WBO CAN CREATE FOR US.

WE NOW WELCOME ANY GLOWS AND GROWS OR FEEDBACK THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

UM, MR. WATSON, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO GET A PICTURE? EXCUSE ME? WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO GET A PICTURE WITH THESE LY WONDERFUL STUDENTS? ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UH, THEY ASKED FOR SOME GLOWS AND GROWS, WHICH IS A PHRASE I MIGHT START USING MYSELF.

OH, GO AHEAD.

I'M SORRY.

I, I I CANNOT LET IT PASS.

AS, AS A FARM BUREAU DIRECTOR, HOW, UH, PLEASED I WAS TO SEE THE SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE.

UM, DID ANY OF YOU ALL EXPER, UH, PARTICIPATE, ACTUALLY GO TO GILES COUNTY WITH THE PROGRAM? YOU JUST PACKED THE TRUCK, SO I DON'T THINK ANY OF US PERSONALLY DID IT, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE AT SCHOOL THAT PARTICIPATED.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY, THEY REALLY, AS YOU SAW IN THE VIDEO, WERE SPANKED AND PRETTY SOUNDLY, SO YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE FARMS, WE DON'T EAT.

SO, UM, SO I'M PUTTING A PLUG IN FOR MR. ALLEN'S COURSES.

IF YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN 'EM, PLEASE SIGN UP.

UM, AND MAYBE IN THE FUTURE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO IT IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

BUT, UH, THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

UM, IF I STILL WAS RUNNING MY COMPANY, I PROBABLY HIRE ALL OF Y'ALL.

I LIKE THE STRONG SILENT TYPE THERE ON THE END.

I MEAN, I WOULD KEPT WAITING FOR YOU TO BE THE CLOSER TO COME UP AND CLOSE THE DEAL, BUT THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MR. CHAIR.

YES.

UM, THANK YOU.

SO I, I'LL HAVE A, A GLOW AND A GROW FOR Y'ALL.

UM, THE GLOW I, I, I REALLY APPRECIATED LISTENING TO CADET MAL IS MALACHI, DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? MAL MALACHI'S, UH, MALACHI'S COMMENTS ABOUT CONTRIBUTING, YOU KNOW, IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE IT'S SO EASY TO BE A CONSUMER, MEANING YOU EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE HANDED TO YOU, GOVERNMENT'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING TO SEE A GROUP OF FOLKS LIKE YOURSELVES THAT ARE REALIZING THAT NO, WE'RE, WE'RE HERE TO CONTRIBUTE.

WE'RE HERE TO, TO PAY BACK.

I JUST THINK IS AMAZING ON THOSE LINES.

MY GROW WOULD BE, AND MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY GROWN, BUT YOU KNOW, AS I'VE GOTTEN BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW, I SEE HOW POWERFUL OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY IS.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST THINK, OH, THAT'S LITTLE, JUST LITTLE GO, YOU KNOW, RURAL GLAND.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SHARING THIS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS, UH, DISTRICTS IN THE AREA? AND, AND DO YOU, IS THERE ANY SORT OF COLLABORATION SO THAT THIS ISN'T JUST A LOCAL GLAND, BUT A REGIONAL, UH, TYPE EFFORT THAT MIGHT BE FOR ONE OF THE TEACHERS? NONE OF US HAVE.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY LIKE AS WE'VE BEEN GOING ON IN THIS PRESENTATION, LIKE WE STARTED WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD AND NOW WE'RE OBVIOUSLY PRESENTING TO YOU GUYS.

SO I THINK IT'S STILL BE SOMETHING WE COULD GROW ON AND LIKE TALK TO OTHER SCHOOLS ABOUT.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD FEEDBACK THAT WE'LL THINK ABOUT.

[02:26:08]

[02:30:03]

WE WILL NOW RECONVENE THE JANUARY 21ST MEETING OF THE GOSEN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

THE FIRST, UH, ORDER OF, UH, BUSINESS IS FOR CITIZEN COMMENT.

I'LL OPEN THE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD.

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND SPEAK? SEEING NONE, I CLOSE THE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD.

WE WILL NOW MOVE TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS TO CONSIDER A COUNTRYWIDE ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ADJUST ALLOWABLE SIGNAGE FOR OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL PARKS.

MS. JAMIE SHERRY WILL PRESENT.

ONSITE SIGNS FOR OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL PARKS CHANGES TO THE, OR THE, UM, THE FORMAT AND NOTES RELATED TO SITE TYPE OF SIGNS AND TO ADD THE DEFINITION OF OFFICE PARK TO THE ORDINANCE.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING IS A COUNTYWIDE AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, SPECIFICALLY THE SIGN AND DEFINITION SECTIONS OF THE ORDINANCE CHANGES PERTAIN TO ENTRANCE SIGNS FOR SHOPPING CENTERS AND INDUSTRIAL

[XV. 6:00 PM - Chair Calls Meeting Back to Order]

AND OFFICE PARKS.

[XVI. Citizen Comment]

[XVII. Public Hearings]

SO WHY ARE THESE CHANGES NEEDED? THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RECEIVED CONCERNS FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY STATING THAT THE LACK OF SIGNAGE FOR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES STAFF ALSO RECOGNIZED PROPERTIES IN KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREAS WERE ONLY ALLOWED ONE ENTRANCE SIGN.

THERE ARE TABLES WITHIN THE ORDINANCE WITH CONTRADICTIONS, WITH EXISTING NOTES, AND, UH, THERE ARE SEPARATE WALL SIGN PROVISIONS THAT DON'T NOT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER.

[1. Countywide - ZOA-2024-00003 Proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance (County Code Chapter 15), Sec. 15-421 (Sign regulation by zoning districts or location) and Sec. 15-500 (Definitions) to adjust allowable signage for office and industrial parks]

THERE'S A NEED TO CLEAN UP A TABLE WITHIN THE ORDINANCE TO CONSOLIDATE THESE REQUIREMENTS.

AND LASTLY, UH, TO ADD THE OFFICE PARK DEFINITION.

SO OUR EXISTING ORDINANCE, SHOPPING CENTERS, INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE PARK SIGNAGE, THEY'RE LIMITED TO ONE PER ENTRANCE.

AND, UM, THERE'S NO FREESTANDING SIGN WITHIN THESE PARKS.

UH, FOR EACH OF THE USERS, WHAT IS PROPOSED THAT INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE PARK SIGNAGE CLARIFY THAT ONE ENTRANCE SIGN IS PERMITTED PER ENTRANCE.

A CUMULATIVE SIGN AREA FOR SHARE ARE SHARED BETWEEN THE SIGNS TO HELP LIMIT, UH, TOO, THERE BEING TOO MUCH SIGNAGE.

UH, THEY WILL PERMIT INDIVIDUAL LOTS WITHIN A PARK, AN OFFICE PARK, OR AN INDUSTRIAL PARK TO HAVE FREE STANDING SIGNS.

BUT THEY REQUIRE THAT THE ENTRANCE SIGN HAVE, UM, BE GROUND MOUNTED AND DESIGNED TO HAVE BRICK OR STONE, UM, AS THE BASE.

THESE ARE, UH, THESE SIGNS ARE EXAMPLES OF WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED.

UH, THE SIGN MUST BE GROUND MOUNTED, AS I MENTIONED, AND THE BASE MUST BE MADE OF BRICK OR STONE SIMILAR TO WHAT IS ON THE SLIDE.

SO THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT AND IS, IS AN EXAMPLE OF A DEVELOPMENT ON BROAD STREET, UM, EAST OF 2 88.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREAS THAT WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A NEED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE SIGN FOR ONE COORDINATED DEVELOPMENT, FOR EXAMPLE.

UM, IF ONLY ONE SIGN WERE ALLOWED, UH, THERE WOULD ONLY BE ONE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE MANY ENTRANCES TO THAT OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.

SO, SHOP SHOPPING, CENTER SIGNAGE, UM, WHAT WE CLARIFY THAT SECOND.

LEMME SEE IF THAT'S THE RIGHT ONE.

SO THE CURRENT TABLE INCLUDES TEXT TO ADDRESS ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS OR PROVISIONS.

THIS CAUSES A TABLE TO BE, UM, THE OVERLY LARGE AND CONFUSING.

UM, AND THERE'S ALSO INCONSISTENT LANGUAGE USED BETWEEN SIMILAR PROVISIONS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

NOW.

UM, THE ORDINANCE CHAINS WOULD PROVIDE INFORMATION AS FOOTNOTES.

AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM IN GREEN.

THEY RELATE TO A MUCH CLEARER, UH, TABLE IN FRONT OF YOU.

THERE'S LE LESS REPETITION AND IT REDUCES THE TEXT WITHIN THE TABLE.

THIS ALLOWS FOR BETTER CONSISTENCY STANDARDS BETWEEN COMMON SIGN TYPES.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS? UM, DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT IN THIS? WE ARE THE APPLICANT, THE COUNTY, UH, THE COUNTY'S A WE'VE ALREADY.

AUDIENCE AND FROM PUBLIC? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

I WILL NOW OPEN THE FLOOR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

ANYONE FROM THE

[02:35:01]

PERIOD.

UM, IF I COULD, UH, ENTERTAIN A MOTION, MR. CHAIR.

UM, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE OF THIS ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ADJUST SIGNAGE FOR OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL PARKS.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION, MR. IN, IN THE TEXT, AND THIS IS JUST FOR GENERAL INFORMATION.

MM-HMM .

PROBABLY LESS TO DO WITH THIS VOTE, BUT IT REFERENCES PROJECTED SCIENCE.

WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PROJECTED SIGN? HMM.

I MEAN, CAN, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF LIKE ONE THAT WE HAVE.

UM, BASICALLY IT IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, A WALL SIGN WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS FLAT.

A PROJECTION SIGN LITERALLY IS SOMETHING THAT IS BUMPED OUT.

IT'S DIFFERENT THAN LIKE A OH, PROJECTS OUT.

PROJECTS OUT.

LIKE THREE DIMENSIONAL.

THREE DIMENSIONAL.

MR. CHAIRMAN? YES, SIR.

I'M SORRY.

MR. NAR? YES SIR.

IT, IT TALKED ABOUT GROUND BASED SIGNS MM-HMM .

AND I WAS HARD PRESSED TO THINK WHAT WOULD NOT BE GROUND BASED.

A A POLE SIGN WAS ALSO ANOTHER FREESTANDING SIGN.

ONE THAT IS JUST ON A POLE AS OPPOSED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, BEING ACTUALLY MOUNTED THROUGHOUT ON THE GROUND.

SO THE POLE'S ON THE GROUND.

MM-HMM .

POLE'S ON THE GROUND.

SO IT'S GROUND BASED.

THIS IS A, UM, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAME UP WITH.

NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK IF IT WAS SUSPENDED FROM SOMETHING.

YEAH, I, I DIDN'T KNOW.

UM, SO THERE'S ALSO WALL SIGNS? YEAH.

WALL SIGNS.

YEAH.

THEY CAN PUT IT ON THEIR BUILDING.

A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP FOR AN ACCESSORY FAMILY HOUSING UNIT.

NOPE.

NO SIR.

NO CALL.

OH, ROLL CALL ON THIS ONE.

NEXT WE HAVE AN APPLICATION BY LESTER AND KIMBERLY ROBBINS REQUESTING

[2. District 1 - CU-2024-00021 Application by Lester and Kimberly Robbins requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) for an accessory family housing unit, detached, on 20 acres at 5344 Duval Road on Tax Map No. 1-1-0-22-F. The property is zoned Agricultural, General (A-1). The CUP is required by County Zoning Ordinance Sec. 15-102 in accordance with Sec. 15-285.A. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Rural Enhancement Area.]

DETACHED ON 20 ACRES AT 3 5, 3, 4, 4 ROAD.

MS. JAMIE SHERRY WILL PRESENT.

OUR NEXT PUBLIC HEARING IS AN APPLICATION FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IN DISTRICT ONE BY LESTER AND KIMLEY ROBBINS TO ALLOW FOR AN ACCESSORY FAMILY HOUSING UNIT.

DETACH.

THE VICINITY MAP SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITHIN THE RED CIRCLE AND THE AERIAL PHOTO SHOWS A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WHICH IS IN GLIN COUNTY, OUTLINED IN RED.

A PORTION OF THE PARCEL ACTUALLY EXISTS IN LUVANA AND IS LOCATED TO THE WEST.

THE ZONING MAP SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES, UH, WITHIN GLAND ZONED AGRICULTURAL GENERAL.

THE AREAS WITHIN FLUVANNA ARE IN THE WHITE AND THOSE ARE ACTUALLY ALSO ZONED AGRICULTURAL AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN FLUVANNA FOR AGRICULTURAL USES.

THE COMPREHENSIVE MAP SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES IN GLAND COUNTY AS RURAL ENHANCEMENT AREA.

THE PROPERTY SITS ON APPROXIMATELY 40 ACRES.

20 ACRES ARE IN GLAND COUNTY AND INCLUDE THE EXISTING RESIDENCE.

THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS OPEN FIELDS, UM, WHERE THE APPLICANT KEEPS HORSES ON THOSE FIELDS.

THERE'S WOODS AND A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND WITH, UH, RESIDENTIAL STORAGE UNITS AND AGRICULTURAL STRUCTURES.

UM, ON THE GOOCHLAND SIDE, THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN SHOWS THE FULL PARCEL WITH THE COUNTY BOUNTY MARKED WITH A YELLOW LINE.

THE PROPOSED ACCESSORY DWELLING IS SHOWN IN RED WITH THE REAR SETBACK SHOWN TO THE COUNTY LINE, WHICH IS HOW WE MEASURE, UM, A SETBACK IF IT'S IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS.

UH, JURISDICTIONS.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, WITH THE IMPOSED CONDITION, THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.

THERE WAS A COMMUNITY MEETING HELD BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

ONE CITIZEN ATTENDED AS WELL AS PLANNING COMMISSIONER KIMLEY AND BOARD OF SUPERVISOR.

MR. CHRISTIE.

AT THE MEETING THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF, UM, UH, THE FAMILY REQUIREMENT, UH, DRIVEWAY ROAD STANDARDS, EMERGENCY ACCESS, AND WHAT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RENEWAL WOULD BE LIKE AS WELL AS ENFORCEMENT.

OVERALL, THE NEIGHBOR WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS APPLICATION.

AT THE NOVEMBER 21ST PUBLIC HEARING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION WITH A FIVE ZERO VOTE.

NO ONE SPOKE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE CONDITIONS, UH, RECOMMENDED FOR, UH, APPROVAL BY THE

[02:40:01]

PLANNING COMMISSION.

CONDITIONS ONE THROUGH THREE PERTAIN TO THE USE AND OPERATION ALLOWING FOR A DETACHED ACCESSORY FAMILY HOUSING UNIT REQUIRING IT ONLY TO BE USED BY FAMILY AND THAT THE DWELLINGS CANNOT BE RENTED SEPARATELY.

CONDITIONS FOUR AND FIVE ARE RELATED TO SAFETY REQUIRING AT LEAST ONE CARBON MONOXIDE AND ONE SMOKE DETECTOR BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED.

AND FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS TO BE PROVIDED AND MAINTAINED CONDITION SIX RECOMMENDS A 10 YEAR EXPIRATION DATE.

AND LASTLY, CONDITION SEVEN REQUIRES THAT IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO TRANSFER THE PROPERTY EITHER THROUGH SALE OR RENT, THE APPLICANT MUST NOTIFY THE NEW OWNER OR LEASEE ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AND THAT THEY NOTIFY THE COUNTY ABOUT THE TRANSFER.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

OH, THIS MAY BE FOR TARA.

TARA.

IT'S STANDARD NOW THAT FOR THESE IT'S A 10 YEAR RENEWAL, CORRECT? YES SIR.

THAT IS THE PART OF THE UNIFORM CONDITIONS FOR THESE TYPES OF USES.

YEAH.

JUST MAKING SURE ABSOLUTELY.

THE APPLICANTS ARE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM, DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO SAY ANYTHING? OKAY.

SO FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, DO WE UH, YES SIR.

YEAH, I'M NOW OPENING IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT SAYING NO COMMENT.

I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

PERIOD.

BOARD MR. SPOON HOUR? NO.

I MOVE TO APPROVE, UH, UH, DISTRICT ONE CU 2 2 4 0 0 2 1.

APPLICATION BY LESTER AND KIMBERLY ROBERTSON OR ROBBINS.

SECOND.

HAVE A SECOND.

SECOND.

APPLICATION BY DENNIS LEROY HOLMES REQUESTING TO REZONE 12.74 ACRES FROM AGRICULTURAL GENERAL, A ONE TO AGRICULTURAL GENERAL, A ONE WITH PROFFERS TO SEEK EXCEPTIONS TO THE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE.

OUR NEXT PUBLIC HEARING IS DISTRICT TWO RZ 2 24 0 0 0 1 0

[3. District 2 - RZ-2024-00010 Application by Dennis Leroy Holmes requesting to rezone 12.74 acres from Agricultural, General (A-1) to Agricultural, General (A-1) with proffers, to seek exceptions to the County Zoning Ordinance Sec. 15.2-343.C.1 requirement for a public road, and the Sec. 15-353.B.1 & B.2 requirements for left and right turn lanes, at 0 Terry Lane on Tax Map No. 40-4-0-C-0. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Rural Enhancement Area.]

SECTION 15.2 3 43 POINT C 0.1 REQUIREMENT FOR A PUBLIC ROAD AND SECTION 15 3 53 B ONE AND B TWO REQUIREMENTS FOR LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES.

UH, AT ARY LANE, MS. SHERRY WILL PRESENT.

ON THE LEFT IS A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN FROM TERRY LANE FACING EAST ONTO ROCKCASTLE ROAD.

OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING IS A REZONING APPLICATION IN DISTRICT TWO FOR REZONING FROM A ONE THE A ONE ZONING DISTRICT TO THE A ONE ZONING DISTRICT WITH CRAWFORD CONDITIONS.

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS RELIEF FROM THE CRAWFORD, UM, IN THE FORM OF PROFFERED CONDITIONS TO OBTAIN A WAIVER FOR THE PUBLIC ROAD STANDARDS, WHICH ARE REQUIRED FOR MORE THAN FIVE LOTS.

AND, UM, THE PROFFER ALSO REQUESTS RELIEF FROM THE RIGHT AND LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO EXTEND A PRIVATE ROAD TO SERVE ADDITIONAL LOTS.

THIS, UM, THE INTENT IS TO ALLOW FOR FOUR LOTS SUBDIVISION ALONG A PRIVATE ROAD.

THE VICINITY MAP SHOWS THE AREA WHERE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE RED CIRCLE.

THE AERIAL PHOTO SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED.

THE ZONING MAP SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES, UM, WITH THE AGRICULTURAL GENERAL ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE COMPREHENSIVE MAP SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES AS RURAL ENHANCEMENT AREA.

SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A PARENT TRACK AND HAS THREE DIVISIONS AVAILABLE TO IT.

TERRY LANE IS A PRIVATE GRAVEL ROAD WITH A 50 FOOT ACCESS EASEMENT, WHICH PROVIDES ACCESS, UM, TO ROCK CASTLE ROAD, WHICH IS A MAJOR COLLECTOR ROAD.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1700 FEET OR A THIRD OF A MILE NORTHWEST OF ROCKCASTLE ROAD.

THE YELLOW LINE ON THE PICTURE SHOWS THE EXISTING ROADWAY BUILT OUTSIDE OF THE RECORDED EASEMENT, WHICH IS IN PURPLE.

CURRENTLY EIGHT LOTS ARE BEING SERVED BY TERRY LANE.

TWO OF THOSE LOTS ARE VACANT.

[02:45:05]

THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS LOOKING WEST ALONG TERRY LANE.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE IMAGE.

AS NOTED PRIOR, THE BUILT ROADWAY DIVERTS FROM THE ESTABLISHED EASEMENT.

SO THE PROPERTY, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS, UM, SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NOT CURRENTLY ACCESSIBLE.

A SITE VISIT REVEALED THAT THE TERRAIN IS QUITE HILLY AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A CREEK ON THE PROPERTY THAT IS NOT DOCUMENTED ON OUR GIS RECORDS.

THE IMAGE SHOWS ROUGHLY WHERE THE ROADWAY BEGINS, TORT FROM THE, FROM THE EASEMENT.

LEMME KIND OF SEE A LITTLE BIT THERE.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A FOUR LOT SUBDIVISION WITH THREE NEW LOTS.

SO THAT WOULD BE ONE LOT DIVIDED INTO FOUR THREE THEIR LOTS.

ALTHOUGH THE PARCEL HAS DIVISION RIGHTS, THE SUBDIVISION CANNOT BE APPROVED ADMINISTRATIVELY DUE TO THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY REQUIRES A PUBLIC ROAD ACCESS WITH BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES.

WAIVERS FROM THE CODE MAY BE GRANTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RE REZONING REQUESTS.

THE PROFFERED CONDITIONS IF ACCEPTED, WOULD ALLOW FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF THE NINTH, 10TH, AND 11TH LOTS TO ACCESS ROCK CASTLE ROAD THROUGH TERRY LANE.

THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS THE APPLICANT APPLICANT'S PROFFERED CONCEPTUAL PLAN, WHICH IS EXHIBIT A AND WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS THE SAME PLAN WITH THE FOCUS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

IT SHOWS PROPOSED LOTS AS WELL AS THE EXTENSION OF TERRY LANE, APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET AND DEMONSTRATES THE REQUIRED FIRE APPARATUS TURNAROUND.

SO THIS SLIDE IS AN ADDITIONAL LOOK AT THE ROAD STANDARDS.

MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS OF FIVE OR MORE LOTS OR FAMILY DIVISIONS, O OVER SIX LOTS REQUIRE A PUBLIC ROAD THROUGH A ZONING REQUEST.

PRIVATE ROADS MAY BE PERMITTED.

PRIVATE ROADS MUST THEN MEET COUNTY STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDE A SIX INCH OF SIX INCHES OF CRUSHED GRAVEL OR STONE DEPTH, DEPTH MINIMUM OF 20 FEET OF GRAVEL ROAD WIDTH OR MORE IF REQUIRED UNDER THE GLAND COUNTY FIRE CODE POSITIVE DRAINAGE ON A ROAD PROFILE AND CONSTRUCTED AND MAINTAINED TO WITHSTAND VEHICLE'S WEIGHING UP TO 75,000 POUNDS.

SO THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE TURN LANE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE CODE.

SUBDIVISIONS OF FIVE OR MORE LOTS REQUIRE TURN LANES ONTO ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR ROADS.

ENTRANCES ONTO COLLECTOR ROADS REQUIRE RIGHT LANES, ENTRANCES ONTO COLLECTOR ROADS WITH 10 OR MORE LOTS REQUIRE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES.

AGAIN, THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY BE WAIVED WITH THE ZONING REQUEST.

SO IF APPROVED, THE APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE AN ENGINEERED PLAN AT PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT.

POD PLANS ARE REVIEWED BY COUNTY STAFF AND VDOT AS WELL AS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

VDOT MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS, ADDITIONAL PERMITS FOR STORM WATER MIGHT BE REQUIRED AND A MINIMUM 10,000 GALLON CAPACITY.

CISTERN MUST BE INSTALLED TO SER UH, TO SERVE THE SUBDIVISION FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

THIS IS A REQUIREMENT WITH THE CREATION OF THE 11TH LOT.

ANY FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS ALONG TERRY LANE WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED, THE RELIEF OF THE PUBLIC ROAD AND TURN LANE REQUIREMENTS OR TO CONSTRUCT A PUBLIC ROAD OR TO PUT IN THE TURN LANES.

THERE WAS A COMMUNITY ME MEETING HELD IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

17.

CITIZENS, INCLUDING PLANNING COMMISSIONER MR. KIMLEY AND MS. KOWALSKI WERE IN PRE WERE PRESENT.

COMMENTS PROVIDED RELATED TO THE REZONING PROCESS, THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS, A TIMELINE FOR ULTIMATE APPROVAL, AND HOW THE PROPOSAL WOULD, UM, AFFECT FUTURE SUBDIVISIONS.

NO CONCERNS WERE RAISED FOR THE APPLICANT'S SPECIFIC REQUEST AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

A PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 11 AND LAST YEAR, AND THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THE APPLICANT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL WITH A FIVE ZERO VOTE.

STAFF HAS RECEIVED ONE LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION AND ONE LETTER AND CALL BOTH FROM THE SAME APP, SAME INDIVIDUAL, UM, IN OPPOSITION.

[02:50:06]

THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED CONDITIONS ON THE PROPERTY.

IN SUMMARY, THEY ARE A CONCEPTUAL PLAN, WHICH WAS, WHICH WAS DEMONSTRATED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION LANGUAGE, WHICH PROVIDES WAIVERS FROM BOTH PUBLIC ROADS AND TURN LANE REQUIREMENTS, AN EXTENSION OF TERRY LANE, UH, THE TERRY LANE EASEMENT, AND A REALIGNMENT TO THE EXISTING OF THE EXISTING ROADWAY WITHIN THE EASEMENT, THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED TO PROVIDE AN ENGINEERED ROAD PLAN AND THE PLAN MUST MEET THE PRIVATE ROAD STANDARDS AS WELL AS, UH, FIRE ACCESS REQUIREMENTS.

THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROFFERED TO MAIN, UH, PROFFERED MAINTENANCE OF TERRY LANE TO RETAIN THE PRIVATE ROAD STANDARDS AS OUTLINED IN THE CODE MAINTENANCE WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OWNER OR FUTURE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE TERRY LANE EASEMENT.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND, UM, MR. HOLMES IS ALSO IN ATTENDANCE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

I, I'VE GOT A GENERAL QUESTION, I SUPPOSE.

MM-HMM .

ON THE, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROADWAY, I NOTICED THAT IN THE MAP THERE WAS A CUL-DE-SAC AND I, I'M WONDERING, AND CHIEF EDDIE, YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO ANSWER THIS, SHOULD WE ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR CUL-DE-SACS IN THE, THE COUNTY ORDINANCE? SO, UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN, UH, CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY ARE REQUIRED.

THIS IS HERE, UM, MOSTLY TO PROVIDE A TURNAROUND FOR THE, UM, FIRE APPARATUS.

UM, AND THIS IS NOT A FAMILY SUBDIVISION, IT'S A PARENT TRACK? IT IS A PARENT TRACK, UM, SUBDIVISION.

I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME FAMILY TAKING IT, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS JUST A MINOR SUBDIVISION.

MR. HOLMES, UH, DENNIS HOLMES, 3,900 TERRY LANE.

WOULD ANY APPLICANT LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? OH, NO, I WAS JUST, UM, LISTEN, EVERYTHING AND, SORRY, THIS IS NOT MY FIELD, SO, SO THE PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU ONLINE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND USING THE MIC, I'M SORRY.

NO PROBLEM.

UH, NOW THIS IS NOT MY FEAR, SO I'M JUST LISTENING TO EVERYTHING.

THE LAND THAT WE SPEAKING ON IS ALL FAMILY.

I MEAN, IT WAS BOUGHT BY MY GREATGRANDFATHER BACK IN THE DAY FOR $50, AND SO IT'S BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME.

AND THE ROAD THAT WE'RE SPEAKING OF, WE, WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF IT FOR PROBABLY 50 YEARS.

SO, I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN PUTTING GRAVEL ON IT.

WE DRAG IT DURING THE SNOW, WE DO EVERYTHING FOR THIS ROAD.

SO I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT TO GET IT TO WHERE YOU GUYS WANT IT TO BE.

UM, BUT WE ARE WILLING TO DO THAT.

UH, COMMUNITY THAT THEY DEVELOP.

AND LIKE I SAID, EVERYBODY THAT'S LIVING THERE IS FAMILY.

IF IT WASN'T FOR MY MOTHER, SOME OF THEM WOULD'VE LOST THE LAND BECAUSE SHE'D BEEN PAYING TAXES ON IT FOREVER.

SO SHE IS WAITING FOR ME TO HEAR WHAT OUR DECISION IS TODAY.

SO THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

NOW, PUBLIC COMMENT IS THAT COMMENT.

ANYONE WISH, WISH TO SAY ANYTHING? SAME? NONE.

I'LL CLOSE IT.

PUBLIC COMMENT, PERIOD.

NOW, MR. MR. CHAIRMAN? YEAH, I, I MOVE THE BOARD.

APPROVE, UH, REZONING RZ 2 24 0 0 0 10 PR CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED.

SECOND MOTION AND SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YEAH.

YES.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

SO, UM, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE WE DO PUT IN, IN PLACE, UH, RESTRICTIONS OR, OR REGULATIONS SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE ARE, UH, GROWING THE COUNTY THE WAY WE NEED TO SAFELY AND WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED.

AND I'M, I'M THE FIRST PERSON TO LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT TO HELP IMPROVE OUR ROADS AND TO, UH, YOU KNOW, TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO HAVE TURN LANES.

AND REALLY, WE'VE SAID THE ONLY WAY THAT DEVELOPMENT IS GONNA DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT'S GONNA GET US THERE.

UM, IN THIS SITUATION, UH, IN, IN, IN MY DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS PROBABLY THE SAFEST AREA OF ROAD, SECONDARY ROAD THAT I HAVE.

IT'S, IT'S ABOUT A MILE OF STRAIGHT LINE.

THERE'S NO HILLS, UM, HAVING EVERYBODY.

AND I GUESS IT'S JUST THE WAY THIS LOT, THIS $50 LOT , HOW WE'VE LEARNED IS STRUCTURED.

WE'VE GOTTEN OUT 12 HOUSES, AND I DON'T HAVE 12 DRIVEWAYS ON ROCKCASTLE.

SO I FEEL LIKE, AND I'VE, I'VE BEEN OUT THERE TWICE.

UM, THE, THE SIGNAGE THAT THEY HAVE, IT'S A VERY, VERY NICE SMALL,

[02:55:01]

AND I, I, UH, I SUPPORT THIS GOING THROUGH.
