SO AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO CALL ON OUR YOUTH COMMISSION, CHAIRMAN, JENNIFER TSANG, CHAIRMAN GREEN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. MORGAN CITIZENS AND FELLOW YOUTH OF YORK COUNTY.

IT IS MY HONOR TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS BRIEF UPDATE TONIGHT ON THE YORK COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION'S ACTIVITIES, PLANS AND GOALS FOR THE 2020 TO 2021 SCHOOL YEAR.

GOING INTO THESE LAST FEW MONTHS, OUR GOAL WAS TO STAY MOTIVATED AND FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH.

LOOKING BACK ON RESULTS OF THE PAST VIRTUAL SURVEY AND IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT WAS CONSTANTLY BEING RAISED BY TEENS WAS HOW TO MENTALLY TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

WE ESPECIALLY WANTED TO PRIORITIZE, PLACING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AND TAKING TIME TO ENJOY THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF HIGH SCHOOL, FINISHING UP THE FIRST AND HOPEFULLY ONLY, ALMOST COMPLETELY VIRTUAL SCHOOL YEAR AND IMPORTANT EVENT.

THE YOUTH COMMISSION USES TOGETHER A TEEN OPINIONS AND CONCERNS IS THE ANNUAL TOWN HALL MEETINGS THROUGH THESE MEETINGS, BOTH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE SCHOOL BOARD ARE CONNECTED WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS FROM EACH SCHOOL TO DISCUSS VARIOUS CONCERNS AND LISTEN TO IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS.

THE YOUTH COMMISSION SPONSORED FOUR VIRTUAL TOWN HALL MEETINGS FOR EACH SCHOOL WITHIN YORK COUNTY.

WE WORKED ALONGSIDE DR.

HARTLEY, THE PRINCIPALS OF THE RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS AND OTHERS TO HELP COORDINATE AND ORGANIZE THESE MEETINGS.

IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AS WE RECEIVED POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM VARIOUS ATTENDEES AND WERE ABLE TO SHARE HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR TEENS WHO WERE CURIOUS ON WHAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PLANS WERE GOING IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

THE FIRST SCHOOL WHO CONDUCTED THEIR TOWN HALL MEETING WAS BRUTON HIGH SCHOOL FROM THE YORK COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ANSWERING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS.

ANOTHER TOPIC THAT WAS DISCUSSED WAS THE ASPECT OF MENTAL HEALTH.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL STUDENTS TO REMEMBER THAT GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR SUPPORT AND ARE WILLING TO HELP, NO MATTER WHAT SITUATION WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADVOCATE FOR ONE ANOTHER AS WELL.

AND TO SPEAK UP IF YOU KNOW, SOMEONE WHO IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME, RECREATIONAL CENTERS WERE ALSO ANOTHER HOT TOPIC AND PLACES SUCH AS THE YMCA BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND ET CETERA, ARE GREAT LOCATIONS TO MEET UP AND HANG OUT WITH OTHER TEENS.

THE NEXT SCHOOL WHO CONDUCTED THEIR TOWN HALL MEETING WAS GRABBED IN HIGH SCHOOL FROM THE YORK COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ANSWERING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS.

WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SPEAKING WITH THE HONORABLE BRETT HIGGINBOTHAM SERVING DISTRICT TWO AND THE HONORABLE LAUREL GIRLZ SERVING DISTRICT THREE FROM THE YORK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

THIS IS A TOP PRIORITY WE WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO FURTHER FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING SIDEWALKS ALONG HIGHWAY 17 WERE ALSO BROUGHT UP AND IT WAS STATED THAT YOUR ACCOUNTING, YOU MUST BUY PROPERTY ALONG CERTAIN AREAS IN ORDER TO PUT IN SIDEWALKS.

BUT THERE'S ALSO A PLAN IN THE FUTURE FOR MORE SIDEWALKS NEAR YORK HIGH SCHOOL, AND TABB HIGH SCHOOL.

MS. ALSO ASKED FELLOW COMMISSION MEMBERS HOW COVID HAD AFFECTED OUR LIVES.

AND WE DISCUSSED THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME AWAY FROM TECHNOLOGY, AS WELL AS ATTENDING MORE COVID FRIENDLY TEEN PROGRAMS. THE THIRD SCHOOL THAT HELD THEIR TOWN HALL MEETING WAS TABB HIGH SCHOOL FROM THE YORK COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ANSWERING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS.

IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS STOPPED LICENSED TO HELP FAMILIES IN NEED, AND THAT THEY DID SEE A RISE THIS YEAR AS WELL WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING DILIGENTLY TO HELP TEENS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE STRUGGLING DURING THESE TIMES AND PARTNERING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.

AND IF THAT WOULD INCREASE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS LISTED AS A PRIORITY, BUT THERE ARE PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS AS WELL.

A SUGGESTION WAS TO ENCOURAGE YOUTH TO USE THE TROLLEY SYSTEM DOWN BY THE WATERFRONT.

ANOTHER TOPIC HIGHLY DISCUSSED WAS REGARDING IF THERE WOULD BE A GREATER NUMBER OF PROGRAMS OFFERED FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR TEENS AND AS A YOUTH COMMISSION, IT IS ONE OF OUR FUTURE PLANS TO CREATE A PLAN CENTERED AROUND A MORE WIDELY SPREAD TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.

CURRENTLY THOUGH TEENS CAN GET INVOLVED WITH CHURCHES, LOCAL FOOD BANKS, AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS.

WE GREATLY APPRECIATE HAVING THE CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN TOWN HALLS LIKE THESE AND SINCERELY THANK ALL MEMBERS FOR THEIR TIME AND INPUT AS SHOWN IN THE PREVIOUS SURVEY FROM THE LAST PRESENTATION, MENTAL HEALTH IS BECOMING A GROWING CONCERN FOR MAJORITY OF TEENS ACROSS THE COUNTY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE QUARANTINE LOCKDOWN AND SCHOOLS BEING MAINLY VIRTUAL.

MANY TEENS HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS WITH FEELING ISOLATED AS THE YC YC.

WE WANTED TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW TO HELP ANY TEENS WHO NEED HELP IN ORDER TO PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH WELLNESS.

THE YORK COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION HELPED SPONSOR PART OF THE RESILIENCE WEEK.

RESILIENCE WEEK IS A WEEK DEDICATED JUST TO TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.

AND FINALLY, FOR FRIDAY, BOTH A MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE AND A KAYAK EXPEDITION WERE OFFERED.

AS BRIEFLY MENTIONED, THE YORK COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION HELPED A SPONSOR, A FUN WALK AT THE MCREYNOLDS ATHLETIC COMPLEX.

OUR GOAL WAS TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH AND TAKING CARE OF ONE'S MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL.

BY HOSTING

[00:10:01]

THIS FUN WALK, OUR GOAL WAS TO PROMOTE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY, WHICH CAN BE RARE DUE TO THE COUNTLESS HOURS, SPENT AT HOME, STARING AT A COMPUTER SCREEN AND DOING SCHOOLWORK AS WALKING IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO IMPROVE ONE HEALTH.

ONE ONE'S HELP.

WE HOPE TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO COME OUT, BRING A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND ENJOY A SUNNY AFTERNOON AWAY FROM SCHOOLWORK.

AND GOING BACK TO THE MONDAY EVENT, WE HELPED HOST A RESILIENCE WORKSHOP FOR TEENS LED BY MRS. ALISON MONSON ARC IN HER WORKSHOP.

SHE DISCUSSED VARIOUS TOPICS SUCH AS THE STRESS CYCLE, HOW TO CREATE A HEALTHY COPING STRATEGY, HEALTHY COPING STRATEGY, AND VARIOUS TOPICS ON MENTAL HEALTH.

IN GENERAL, THE STRESS CYCLE IS A REACTION TO A POSSIBLE STRESSOR OR STRESSFUL SITUATION.

AND IF LET'S COME INCOMPLETE MAY CAUSE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TENSION, MRS. MONTON ARC EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPLETING THE STRESS CYCLE, INCLUDING ACTIVITIES THAT COULD HELP RELEASE STRESS.

THESE CONSISTED OF LAUGHING, CRYING, MOVING AROUND AND EVEN SIMPLY DEEP BREATHS, MRS. MONTON ARCH FURTHER HIGHLIGHTED, HIGHLIGHTED HEALTHY HABITS FOR TEENS TO LEARN ABOUT.

FOR EXAMPLE, FORGIVENESS LETTING GO OF GRUDGES AND FORGIVING.

OTHER PEOPLE HELPS TO RELEASE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND ALLOWS YOU TO MOVE ON AND GROW TO BECOME BETTER.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK MRS. MONTON ARCH FOR HER INCREDIBLY HELPFUL PRESENTATION, AS WELL AS HER TIME TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO GO OUTSIDE, ENJOY THE WEATHER AND RESPONSIBLY SOCIALIZE WITH FRIENDS THAT YOU'RE AT COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION PARTNERED WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATIONS OFFICE IN ORDER TO SPONSOR THE GRAPHS IN HIGH SCHOOL HOMECOMING, PROVIDING A BLOW-UP SCREEN FOR STUDENTS TO WATCH THE HOMECOMING GAME.

THE HOMECOMING WAS HOSTED AS A DRIVE-THROUGH WHERE STUDENTS COULD PARK IN THE GRAFTON PARKING LOT AND WATCH THE HOMECOMING GAME THROUGH THE SCREEN PROVIDED MASKS WERE ENFORCED IN SOCIAL DISTANCING WAS ENCOURAGED AS WELL.

WE HOPE TO CREATE AS NORMAL A HOMECOMING ENVIRONMENT AS WE COULD TO PUSH STUDENTS TO GO OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE WEATHER AS WELL AS TAKE A MENTAL BREAK FROM ONLINE SCHOOL.

ANOTHER PROJECT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IS ADOPTING A HIGHWAY THOUGH ADOPTING A HIGHWAY HAS BEEN A MAJOR GOAL IN PREVIOUS YEAR YOUTH COMMISSIONS.

OUR YEAR WAS THE FIRST TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL.

AS WE ADOPT THIS HIGHWAY, WE AIM TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND PUSHING THE MESSAGE THAT NONE OF US SHOULD LITTER AND SHOULD KEEP OUR ROADWAYS AS FREE OF JUNK AS POSSIBLE.

AS PART OF ADOPTING A HIGHWAY.

WE PLAN ON HAVING A CLEANUP ON JUNE 2ND FROM THREE TO 5:00 PM, FOR ANY PEOPLE INTERESTED, FEEL FREE TO JOIN AND MESSAGE THE YOUTH COMMISSION FOR ANY OTHER DETAILS OR QUESTIONS.

A GUEST SPEAKER WE ALSO HAD AT OUR APRIL MEETING WAS MR. JACOB, RIZZIO A TEEN REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW STEERING COMMITTEE.

HE SHARED SOME YOUTH SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE INTRODUCED TO THE COMMITTEE.

FOR EXAMPLE, INTRODUCING MORE YOUTH REPRESENTATIVES ON APPROPRIATE COUNTY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AS WELL AS INCREASING COUNTY INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS.

THE INTERNSHIPS SINCE THEN WERE RECEIVED VERY WELL BY THE COMMITTEE.

AND THERE'S ALSO A STRONG PUSH TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE PLAN.

HE FURTHER MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION, AND NEXT WILL BE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DRAFT.

THEY WILL BE DISCUSSING AT THEIR NEXT MEETING AS ALWAYS THE PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND OUR EFFORTS TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND HAVE BEEN DILIGENTLY, MAINTAINING THE YOUTH COMMISSION, SOCIAL MEDIA, TO UPDATE AND INFORM ABOUT OUR EFFORTS AND ANY OTHER IMPORTANT PROGRAMS. WE HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR PUBLIC CONTACT WITH THE ADDRESS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE.

AND AS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS NEARING.

WE AS A YORK COUNTY YOUTH COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR ALLOWING US THE CHANCE TO SERVE OUR COUNTY.

WE ARE BEYOND GRATEFUL TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS CHANCE TO WORK FOR OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND BEING ABLE TO HELP TEENS IN OUR LOCAL AREA.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME QUOTES FROM MY FELLOW COMMISSION MEMBERS.

KENDALL ETHERIDGE FROM DISTRICT TWO IS NOT ONLY THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES THE YC YC HAS PROVIDED, BUT SHE ALSO SAYS THAT SHE IS GRADUATING THIS YEAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE SHE NEEDS TO SUCCEED IN COLLEGE BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCES YOUTH COMMISSION HAS GIVEN HER HANNAH NAM KUNE FROM DISTRICT FIVE, EXPRESSES HER GRATITUDE AND BEING ABLE TO POSITIVELY IMPACT YOUR COMMUNITY AND COLE GEORGE FROM DISTRICT FOUR SHARES HIS APPRECIATION FOR THE EXPOSURE AND THE RELATIONSHIPS HE WAS ABLE TO BUILD WITH THE PEOPLE IN HIS COMMUNITY AND THE INVALUABLE SKILLS HE HAS PICKED UP AS A PART OF THE YOUTH COMMISSION FROM DISTRICT ONE, LOGAN RICHARDSON STATES THAT THE YOUTH COMMISSION HAS ALLOWED HIM TO CONNECT WITH HIS LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND HIS FELLOW, AND BE ACTIVE IN HIS COMMUNITY.

AND LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST MICHELLE FROM DISTRICT THREE.

SHE HAS AN IMPORTANT LESSON THAT SHE HAS LEARNED THROUGH THE YOUTH COMMISSION, WHICH IS THAT A

[00:15:01]

SMALL, BUT AMBITIOUS GROUP OF PEOPLE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

THESE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THE WORDS THAT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID, BUT WE ARE STILL INCREDIBLY THANKFUL TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT THE YOUTH OF YORK COUNTY.

AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK MRS. HEATHER SHOT FOR ALWAYS REVIEWING THESE PRESENTATIONS AND HELPING TO SCHEDULE THEM AS WELL.

AND MRS. PAULA HERSH OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS MANAGER FOR HELPING WITH THE OUTSTANDING YOUTH AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS AND MANY OTHERS.

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER ZANG AT THIS TIME.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR COMMENTS? NO QUESTIONS, BUT COMMENTS.

I WANT TO SAY THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.

YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY.

AND YET, HOW MANY ARE YOU HEADED OFF TO COLLEGE THIS YEAR? YES, MA'AM.

I'M PLANNING ON GOING TO COLLEGE WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE, UM, I PLAN ON ATTENDING MIT, LIKE FOR YOU, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE ENGINEERING OR SCIENCE.

IT'S PROBABLY COMPUTER SCIENCE, COMPUTER SCIENCE.

WELL, I HOPE YOUR TIME IN YOUR COUNTY HAS BEEN BENEFICIAL TO YOU.

I THINK THE WAY YOU PRESENTED TONIGHT SHOWS THAT YOU REALLY GOT SOMETHING OUT OF SERVING ON THE YOUTH COMMISSION.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VOLUNTEERING.

THANK YOU, MR. RAMBO, FIRST OF ALL, DID MS. KNOLL VERY PROFESSIONAL BRIEFING AND, UH, THAT'S A GREAT THING TO HAVE IN YOUR BACK POCKET TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT KIND OF A PRESENTATION.

KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU GO OFF TO MIT.

UM, I WAS WONDERING THAT AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN THE PAST, UH, SOME YOUTH COMMISSIONS HAVE WORKED ON A PARTICULAR INITIATIVE AND AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THE INITIATIVE SAW FRUITATION WITH FIELDING IT AS SOMETHING FOR THE COUNTY TO ENJOY.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE MACK REYNOLDS SPORTS COMPLEX DOWN IN 17 REALLY IS THE PRODUCT OF A COUPLE OF YEARS WORTH OF YOUTH COMMISSION ENDEAVORS.

UH, WAS THERE ANY OF THE NUMBER OF INITIATIVES THAT YOUR YOUTH COMMISSION INITIATED THAT YOU HOPE TO SEE AT SOME POINT IN TIME BECOME PART AND PARCEL OF YOUR CHARACTER? I THINK WITH THIS YEAR, THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH HAS REALLY BEEN STRESSED.

AND THOUGH WE'RE KIND OF JUST ONLY INTRODUCING SOME SMALLER INITIATIVES IN HOPING TO SPREAD THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL WELLNESS.

WE HOPE THAT IN FUTURE YEARS, WE CAN ALSO INCORPORATE EVEN BIGGER PROJECTS TO REALLY TEACH TEENS AROUND THE COUNTY, THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS NOT TO OVERWORK YOURSELF OR BE TOO STRESSED DUE TO SCHOOL.

THIS IS NO, YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT.

THERE WAS, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH, WITH CAROL SALLY WHO'S HEAD OF THE WILLIAMSBURG.

WHAT, WELL, I GUESS I PUT IT IN THAT CAL SALE.

SO YOU SPEAK OF THE WILLIAMSBURG HEALTH ORGANIZATION FOUNDATION RATHER.

AND IT WAS AFTER WE HAD OUR MEETING, UH, WITH YOU STUDENTS AND YOU ALL BROUGHT UP THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE AGAIN.

SO I ASKED HER IF HER FOUNDATION MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH MENTAL HEALTH FOR TEENAGERS, ESPECIALLY.

AND SO I'VE GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT MAYBE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU ALL HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY WILL, THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AND COME UP WITH SOME PROGRAM.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.

OF COURSE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE IN TO THE OUTSTANDING YOUTH AWARDS AND OUTSTANDING YOUTH AWARDS.

I'LL JUST SAY, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE SUMMARY.

LET'S GO INTO CITIZEN COMMENT, PERIOD.

DO WE HAVE ANY SYSTEMS WHO'VE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, MR. BARNETT, MOVING INTO ANY REPORTS FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, NO REPORTS, UNLESS BOARD MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY? ALL

[COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS AND REQUESTS ]

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW FEDERAL PROGRAM.

MOVING ON TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, MR. MORGAN.

UM, JUST ONE COMMENT FOR TONIGHT AND A COUPLE OTHERS I'LL BRING UP WHEN THERE'S A LITTLE MORE TIME.

UM, WE'RE STARTING TO RECEIVE

[00:45:01]

THE ACRONYM IS ARPA.

UM, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT, AND I SENT THE BOARD ON FRIDAY, A PRELIMINARY MEMO AND SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

AND IT'LL BE THE FIRST OF A LOT OF INFORMATION WE'LL BE RECEIVING.

AND WE'LL BE HAVING MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT IN COMING MONTHS.

MOVE INTO MATTERS PRESENTED BY THE BOARD AND AS ALWAYS MS. NOLAN, I'LL KEEP IT SHORT, BUT I WANT TO SAY TO THE CITIZENS OUT THERE, IF YOU HAVEN'T TUNED IN TO THE COUNTY TV STATIONS, YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING.

THIS TIME WE'LL

[MATTERS PRESENTED BY THE BOARD]

EVERY TIME THAT I TUNE IN SOMETHING IS NEW AND IT KEEPS IMPROVING DAY AFTER DAY, NOT QUITE BUT YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND I'M VERY PROUD OF ALL THE WORK THAT THE STAFF HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO.

AND I HOPE THAT YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT THEY HAVE.

AND ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING OF COURSE, IS THE NASA PROGRAM IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO THANK YOU STAFF VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO, AND THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PUT OUT FOR OUR CITIZENS, MR. SCHREMPP TUESDAYS.

UM, SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHAT THIS GREAT BIG WHITE EAR OF MINE IS ALL ABOUT.

UH, BUT JUST LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, GROWING UP IN NEW JERSEY WITH THOSE WONDERFUL SPEECHES, WE HAVE UP THERE TO THE JERSEY SHORE AND SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN THE SUN BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.

UH, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I KEPT PICKING AT THIS LITTLE ROOF IN MY EAR, FINALLY DECIDED TO GO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST.

UH, THE RESULTS OF THAT WAS A BIOPSY SENT OFF TO A LAB AND THE RESULT WAS SQUEAMISH CANCER CARCINOMA.

UH, THE GOOD NEWS BEING IS THAT I WAS THEN REFERRED TO A SURGEON WHO DOES SOMETHING CALLED MOE'S SURGERY, WHICH INSTEAD OF DIGGING AT THINGS AND GETTING IT THAT WAY THEY SLICE.

AND THE GOOD NEWS WAS AFTER THE FIRST SLICE OF THAT WENT TO THE LAB, CAME BACK.

IT WAS CLEAR, BUT THE POINT IS, YOU KNOW, SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN SUN, W WE'VE WE'VE, WE'VE HEARD THIS ALL OUR LIVES.

SO I HAD TO STAY THE HECK OUT OF THIS, UH, ELICIT AND PUT A HAT ON OR DO SOMETHING WITH SUNSCREEN AND THE LIKE, UH, BUT HE CAN GET ANYBODY IN THERE.

THAT'S JUST, AGAIN, IF YOU HAD ANY IDEA WHY THIS, THIS EAR WAS BANNED, JUST LIKE THAT, IT COMES OFF FRIDAY, BY THE WAY.

UH, THE OTHER COMMENT I, UH, IT'S GOT MY ATTENTION LEGALLY, UH, IS SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT, INCLUDING MYSELF, IT'S CALLED CRITICAL RACE THEORY.

AND, UH, I KEEP SEEING THIS THING POP UP IN MY EMAILS AND, UH, VARIOUS DIFFERENT KINDS OF MEDIA.

AND IT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S A MARXIST MOVEMENT, UH, THAT, UH, THE MEDIA, AT LEAST REPORTS THAT IS ON THE WAY TO ENCODE INCULCATING ITSELF INTO OUR UNIVERSITIES AND OUR K THROUGH 12 EDUCATION SYSTEMS. SO I TALKED TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TODAY AND I SAID, UH, JIM, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY? AND LIKE, MOST PEOPLE, HE SAID NOTHING.

SO I SAID, WELL, HOW ABOUT DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH THIS AFTERNOON AND SEE WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT OUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME? BECAUSE AGAIN, WE HAVE, AS THE CHAIR JUST MENTIONED, UH, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT, UH, YOUR COUNTY IS SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND RAISE A FAMILY IS OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.

UH, I WAS MOST CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS THING HAD PERMEATED US OUR K THROUGH 12.

I WAS ASSURED BY THE, BY THE SUPERINTENDENT, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, BUT JIM, ANY ADD TO THAT, ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT, NOT REALLY.

I MEAN, YOU ASKED ME TO LOOK INTO IT.

I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO DO MUCH RESEARCH.

I MOSTLY WENT TO WIKIPEDIA AND IT IT'S A, UM, IT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL AND HISTORICAL, UM, AND AN EDUCATIONAL APPROACH, UM, TO AMERICAN HISTORY WHO WAS, LOOKS AT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN, UM, UH, RACISM, UH, BOTH PAST AND FUTURE AND, AND THE LAW AND OTHER SOCIAL STRUCTURES.

UM, AND THAT'S ABOUT THE SUM OF MY KNOWLEDGE OF IT.

AT PRESENT TIME.

I KNOW THAT YOU SPOKE WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OR COMMUNICATED WITH HIM, WHO SAID, IT'S NOT TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS.

IT HAS BOTH ITS PROPONENTS AND ITS, AND ITS CRITICS.

UM, AND THAT'S, UH, BUT IT'S REALLY SORT OF OUT OF MY REALM, UNFORTUNATELY, TO BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON IT IN ANY DEPTH POINT IN TIME, IT MIGHT BE WELL WITHIN YOUR REALM, BUT, BUT THE POINT OF IT IS IT'S A MOVEMENT.

IT'S A MARXIST MOVEMENT.

THAT'S BEEN, UH, SEATED THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY.

AND, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE ABOUT MARXISM HAD TO DO WITH THE OVERTHROW OF, UH, THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE OPPRESSORS BY THE OPPRESSED, SPECIFICALLY, THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROLLED THE PRODUCTION OF, OF ECONOMIC WELLBEING BY THOSE WHO WERE WORKING IN THE PRODUCTION OF, OF WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS BEING PRODUCED AT MINERAL MIDDLE

[00:50:01]

SCHOOL WAGES.

AND YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONS INVOLVING, UH, MORE RECENTLY CUBA, UH, VENEZUELA, THE SOVIET UNION RUSSIA, UH, AND, UH, I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO, WHEN YOU SEE THE TERM, GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT, IT'S A MOVEMENT THAT HAS GONE FROM REPLACING THOSE IN CHARGE OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION TO SOMEHOW USING THE SAME THEORY TO LET US WHITE PEOPLE LET US KNOW THAT WE'RE OPPRESSORS AND ANYBODY OF COLOR IS THE OPPRESSED.

AND IF YOU FOLLOW THE MARXIST THEORY TO ITS END, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, OH, THERE'LL BE A REVOLUTION AT THE END OF THIS THING AND AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

BUT AGAIN, I JUST THROW THAT OUT AS A SEED BECAUSE I ENCOURAGE YOU TO, WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, TAKE SOME TIME TO READ IT, ESPECIALLY READ IT FROM PAPERS THAT PEOPLE HAVE STUDIED THE SUBJECT ENOUGH SAID.

SURE, THANKS.

THANK YOU, MR. RYAN, YOU HAVE ONE THING TO SHARE.

UM, LAST YEAR SURF DIGS AND MAJOR MONTGOMERY.

HE SET THE GROUNDWORK TO CREATE THE YORK SHERIFF'S OFFICE, CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND, UM, EVERYBODY THIRD QUARTER LAST YEAR, THAT WAS OFFICIALLY FORMED.

IT IS, UM, UH, UH, STAFF WITH, UH, MEMBERS ACROSS, ACROSS YOUR COUNTY FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

NOW, I'LL READ YOU A REAL QUICK, OUR MISSION STATEMENT, UH, THE CITY, THE CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AIMS TO BUILD SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON MUTUAL RESPECT, TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE YORK PRECOCIOUS SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THIS END, THE CAC SEEKS TO EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY THROUGH EDUCATION THEN ENHANCES A SHARED UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

SO WE WANT, WE WANT TO BUILD A LIAISON BETWEEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITIES BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS AND ALL THE RESIDENTS FOR ANY AND ALL TOPICS AND DISCUSSIONS THAT WE WANT TO PEOPLE WANT TO BRING TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UM, BEING A NEW COMMITTEE, WE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, DOING ALL THE THINGS NECESSARY TO FORM ANY COMMITTEES THAT IN THE BYLAWS, CREATING THE OFFICES, APPOINTED THE OFFICERS AND SO FORTH TO BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION.

SO THIS COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD FOR YEAR, YEAR AFTER YEAR.

UH, YOU CAN FIND US ON THE, YOUR COUNTY WEBSITE, YOUR COUNTY.GOV/CAC, OR EASY TO REMEMBER.

UH, WE HAVE OUR MISSION STATEMENT OUT THERE.

WE HAVE OUR TEAM MEMBERS OUT THERE.

WE HAVE OUR MEETING MINUTES AND AGENDAS OUT THERE.

WE WILL POPULATE THAT MORE AS WE GET MORE ACCOMPLISHED GOING FORWARD, BUT I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION.

UH, PLEASE REVIEW IT.

UM, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US, LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP.

WE WILL BE ADDING INFORMATION ON HOW PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE AND, AND WHERE WE WANT TO, UM, WORK WITH THE COMMUNITIES, UH, GOING FORWARD.

SO PLEASE CHECK THAT OUT AND LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP MR. SHEPHERD.

I'M GONNA MOVE TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

LET'S SEE.

AND THEN WE'RE RUNNING JUST A COUPLE MINUTES AHEAD OF TIME.

UH,

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

UH, FIRST ITEM SIX IS COMMITTING THE CURRENT YOUTH COMMISSIONERS ITEM SEVEN IS COMMITTING TO RETIRE.

AN EMPLOYEE EITHER MADE IS COMMENDING, ANOTHER RETIRING EMPLOYEE ITEM NINE, HIS TAX REFUND TO C O A VIRGINIA.

SO ANYBODY WISH TO HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION ON ANY OF THOSE? NOT ALL MOVED, RIGHT? MADAM CLERK MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO MOVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

YES, SIR.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SHEPHERD IS TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS SUBMITTED MR. ZAREMBA.

THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS.

WE WILL BE BACK SHARP AT SEVEN OH ONE SEVEN OH ONE FROM RECESS.

THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[1 Application No. ZM-190-21, Rhetson Companies. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 21-8 to approve an application to rezone 2.6 acres at 2371 and 2601 Hampton Highway from R20 to GB subject to voluntarily proffered conditions.]

WE'VE GOT APPLICATION NUMBER Z M ONE NINE ZERO DASH 21.

REDSIN COMPANIES.

THIS TIME I'M GOING TO CALL ON MS. AMY PARKER FOR A BRIEF PRESENTATION, 2371 26 OH ONE HAMPTON HIGHWAY.

IT'S A FACILITY MAP OF THE AREA.

THE PARCELS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, UH, ON HAMPTON HIGHWAY, UM, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, UH, TO THE RIGHT OR THE EAST SIDE, UH, HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, OPEN SPACE TO THE REAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHURCHILL ESTATES, SUBDIVISION AND VACANT PARCELS.

ON THE WEST SIDE ACROSS THE STREET IS THE MILITARY HOUSING LANDINGS AT LANGLEY, A VACANT PARCEL BELMONT AT YORK APARTMENTS IN A SELF STORAGE FACILITY.

A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN ZONING OF THE AREA.

UH,

[00:55:01]

THAT ENTIRE SIDE OF HAMPTON HIGHWAY IS ZONED OUR 20 MEDIUM DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ACROSS THE STREET IS LIMITED BUSINESS.

IT'S PART OF A LIMITED BUSINESS NODE CARRIES ON DOWN TO THE INTERSECTION AT BIG BETHEL AND HAMPTON HIGHWAY.

AND THE RMF IS RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.

UH, FOR THE APARTMENTS IN MILITARY HOUSING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY REFLECTS THE ZONING.

IT IS DESIGNATED FOR MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO OF THE PROPERTY.

AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.

IT IS, UM, PRETTY HEAVILY WOODED, UH, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

I DO KNOW THOUGH THE MOST OF THE TREES ARE ALL DECIDUOUS, SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA.

THIS IS STANDING, UM, AT THE BELMONT APARTMENTS, LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET, UH, BUILDINGS TO SEE IN THE BACK THERE, UM, ARE ALONG BAY BERRY AVENUE, UH, WITHIN THE, UH, THE SUBDIVISION ACROSS THE STREET.

UM, LOOKING WEST DOWN HAMPTON HIGHWAY, THAT'S A SELF STORAGE BUILDING.

YOU SEE ACROSS THE STREET THERE WITH THE GREEN, UH, GREEN ROOFS AND LOOKING ACROSS AT BELMONT APARTMENTS AND THE MILITARY HOUSING AND THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION DOWN HAMPTON HIGHWAY.

THIS IS STANDING ROUGHLY ON THE, UH, PROPERTY CORNER, LOOKING AT THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY AND MORE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS BEYOND.

AND THIS IS PRETTY MUCH ON THE PROPERTY LINE.

AGAIN, WORKING THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY TO THE LEFT.

THIS IS OFF THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC AT OLEANDER COURT.

LOOKING TOWARD THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY.

A BUILDING SITE WOULD BE ROUGHLY IN THE CENTER OF THE PICTURE THERE AND LOOKING APPROXIMATELY TOWARD THE REAR OF WHERE THE BUILDING LINE WOULD BE TOWARD THE BACK OF THE HOUSES, THE CUL-DE-SAC AND BACK OF THE HOUSES, SEEING AREA, UM, ON BAYBERRY LANE, THE APPLICANT'S CONCEPTUAL SKETCH OF THE PROPERTY SHOWING A GENERAL LOCATION OR BUILDING AND FACILITIES COULD GO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ACTUAL USE WOULD BE THAT THAT COULD VARY.

THERE WOULD BE 35 FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFERS ALONG THE SIDES AND REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

AND A 35 35 FOOT GREENBELT BUFFER WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR THE HAMPTON HIGHWAY FRONTAGE.

THEY WOULD NEED TO, UH, PUT A SEWER LINE IN EASEMENT ASSOCIATED EASEMENT OUT TO THE BACK, UM, TO CONNECT A SEWER THAT EXISTING SEWER OUT WITHIN THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AREA.

SO SUPERIMPOSING THE SKETCH PLAN OVER THE AERIALS, UM, DISTANCES TO THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES FROM THE BACK OF THE CUL-DE-SAC HERE, UH, PROBABLY APPROXIMATELY 130 FEET AND TO THE HOUSES IN THE BACK, THE END OF A BAYBERRY LANE, APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET.

YEAH, APPLE.

UH, THIS IS THE APPLE IN APPLICANT'S CONCEPTUAL, UH, FACADE DRAWING THAT IS REFERENCED IN THE PROFITS.

MARIE REZONING, APPROXIMATELY 2.6 ACRES FROM OUR 22 GB.

UM, APPLICANT HAS, UM, INCLUDED PROFFERS WITH PRECLUDE.

MANY OF THE MORE INTENSIVE BI-RITE USES.

UH, IT DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY OF THE USES THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THEY HAVE PROFFERED MONUMENT SIGNAGE LIMIT THE HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 8:00 AM TO 10:00 PM.

TRANSITIONAL BUFFER PLANNINGS WOULD BE INCREASED TO TYPE 50, A UP FROM A TYPE 35 FENCING ALONG THE SIDE AND REAR BUFFERS AND A BRICK AND METAL BUILDING FACADE DESIGN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR FACADE PLAN THAT THEY SUBMITTED.

THEY HAVE EXCLUDED SEVERAL BI-RITE USES THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE LIST HERE.

MANY OF THEM WOULD BE MORE INTENSIVE USES FITNESS CENTER, MEETING HALLS, FIRST AID CENTER.

UM, SOME THESE OBVIOUSLY PHYSICALLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO TO GOLF DRIVING RANGE WOULDN'T FIT IN THERE.

UM, ACCORDING TO THEIR PROFITS, THAT PERMITTED BY RIGHT USES WOULD BE, AS YOU SEE ON THE LIST HERE, DISCOUNT STORE CHILDCARE, SCHOOLS, MUSEUMS, RESTAURANTS, RETAIL SALES, SHOPPING CENTER USES THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR AS LISTED ON HERE.

UM, AGAIN, SOME OF THESE USES PHYSICALLY PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO ON THERE, BUT, UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL NIGHTCLUB, BBC STORES, UM,

[01:00:01]

PAYDAY LOAN ESTABLISHMENT, CONVENIENCE STORE WITH, OR WITHOUT GAS PHONES, CARWASH.

SOME OF THESE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO THERE.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS, UM, WITH THE COMMERCIAL USE WOULD VARY, OBVIOUSLY, DEPENDING ON THE USE, UH, THIS CHART, THE TOP WOULD BE THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES, WHICH WOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ZONING THERE IS NOW, AND YOU SEE THE DAILY AVERAGES IN PEAK HOUR.

THERE AMTEN HIGHWAY, UH, CURRENTLY CARRIES AN AVERAGE DAILY VEHICLE VOLUME OF 22,000 VEHICLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HAMPTON ROADS, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

THERE'S CURRENTLY MODERATE CONGESTION NORTHBOUND, OR THE INTERSECTION AT THE PM PEAK HOUR.

AND THAT CONGESTION IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO SEVERE BY 2040, UM, USES THAT COULD BE ALLOWED, UH, EITHER BY RIGHT OR, UM, WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UM, COULD GREATLY IMPACT DEPENDING.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS HERE COMPARED TO THE FIRST-LINE THERE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES.

UH, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION.

THE GB DISTRICT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE MEDIUM DOESN'T, UH, MEDIUM DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GB USES THAT COULD BE DEVELOPED AS NOTED ON SOME OF THOSE LISTS, UH, ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL USES.

UH, WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS LIMITED BUSINESS OWNING ACROSS THE STREET.

UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE TAB AREA HAS INDICATED THAT LB NODE WAS ESTABLISHED AND I'M GOING TO QUOTE TO PROVIDE ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT CONCENTRATION OF USERS ON COMMERCIAL SITES, PREVENT SMALL AND SCATTERED INDIVIDUAL PARCELS, HINDER INTERNAL TRAFFIC, SURREY CIRCULATION, UM, WHAT ENCOURAGED NINE TO FIVE TYPE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD NOT CREATE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS DURING PEAK HOURS.

AND IT IS NOTED IN THE PREVIOUS CHART.

THERE COULD WELL BE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACTS IF THIS WERE TO GO TO GB.

AND I DO WANT TO KNOW THE LB DISTRICT WAS ACTUALLY ZONED GB GENERAL BUSINESS BETWEEN 1995 AND 2007.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE IN 2007 RECOMMENDED THAT THAT GO TO LIMITED BUSINESS.

AND WE ACTUALLY DID DOWN ZONE THAT TO LIMITED BUSINESS, UM, TO ALLOW FOR LESS INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL USES, UH, THAT WOULD BE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL USES.

SO, AS I SAID, WE ARE RECOMMENDING DENIAL.

HOWEVER, IF THE BOARD, WHICH IS TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION, WE DO HAVE A ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 DASH EIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. PARKER? NO, NO, NOT YET.

NO, I'M GOOD.

THANKS, AMY.

CAN YOU TAKE IT BACK TO, I THINK IT WAS LIKE YOUR SECOND SLIDE.

SO ONE SHOWS THE COLOR, UH, LAYOUT THE DIFFERENT ZONING.

OH, OKAY.

RIGHT THERE.

UM, THE CUL-DE-SAC UP ON THE, UH, IN THE MIDDLE THERE, UH, THERE'S A GAP BETWEEN THE PROPERTY.

YOU SEE HOW THE PROPERTY IS DIVIDED UP AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE LOOKING AT.

AND THEN THE, CUL-DE-SAC SEE THE AND THEN YOU GO TO THE RIGHT OF THAT THERE'S RIGHT THERE.

THAT GAP THERE BETWEEN PIECES OF PROPERTY, WHAT IS THAT HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION OPEN SPACE PROPERTY.

SO THAT, THAT IS PART OF THE, THAT'S NOT PART OF STEP STREET OR SOMETHING.

NO, THAT'S, THAT'S A, HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE, UH, WITH THE SUBDIVISION.

AND, UH, AND SO THAT WHOLE, UH, AREA THAT, WHERE THE IS THAT, UH, ALL THAT AROUND THE CULT, EVEN THE UPPER COLD PSYCH IS ALL THE HOA PROPERTY.

THIS IS HOA, THERE'S ACTIVE RECREATION FACILITIES IN THERE.

AND, UH, ALSO UTILITY LINES THAT GO THROUGH THERE AS WELL.

BUT YES, IT'S, IT'S HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PROPERTY.

UM, BUSINESSES HAVE WANTED TO CONNECT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE, UM, ZONING, THE, UH, UM, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ZONING WITH SOME, THE RESIDENTIAL IS THAT YOU RECALL THAT NOT ON THIS SIDE OF THIS, I THOUGHT WE HAD, OR EITHER THAT, OR THEY CAME IN AND WE'VE GOT TO PUT LIKE A TOWER IN A PIECE OF THAT.

HOW BIG A PIECE OF PROPERTY DO YOU HAVE IF YOU INCLUDE THE TWO PIECES THAT, THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR ZONING, AND THEN THAT SECOND, THAT A WEDGE, IF YOU WILL, IT GOES, UH, FURTHER UP TOWARDS BIG BETHEL.

HOW LARGE IS THAT PROPERTY? WELL, THESE TWO TOGETHER, UM, JUST AN M THESE TWO TOGETHER, UM, THAT THE FOUR PARCELS IS JUST OVER TWO AND A HALF ACRES, SO TWO AND A HALF.

SO ADD THAT THAT'S PROBABLY ENOUGH AND PAST, UH, PAST ZONING.

UH, WE'VE HAD PROPOSALS WHERE,

[01:05:01]

UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE RESIDENTIAL, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY PROPERTY LIMITED BUSINESS, THAT A LIMITED BUSINESS.

I'M SORRY.

I, I'M NOT AWARE OF IT.

I THINK WE, THE BOARD MEMBERS SIT HERE AND LOOK AT THAT.

LET'S AS YOU ANSWER A QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

AT THIS TIME, LIKE TO CALL ON THE APPLICANT.

MR. SUTTLE.

I'VE GOT YOU ALSO AS A SPEAKER, BUT AS AN APPLICANT, I CAN GIVE YOU 10 MINUTES TO TALK AS A SPEAKER.

I CAN GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES.

SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE 10 MINUTES TO TALK.

AND IF YOU, IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, UH, YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES TO TALK AS THE APPLICANT.

AND THEN I HAD MR. PARKER AS A SPEAKER TO IT.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

MY NAME IS RAYMOND SUTTLE JR.

I'M AN ATTORNEY WITH JONES, BLUFFTON, WOLTZ, AND KELLY NEWPORT NEWS.

I REPRESENT THE APPLICANT, THE REDSIN COMPANIES.

UM, JOHN PARKER IS HERE WITH ME AND HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A SHORT PRESENTATION, BUT BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I DID WANT TO THANK MS. MS. PARKER AND, UM, MS. CASTLE AND TIM, TIM CROSS.

THEY'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL DURING THIS PROCESS THOUGH.

THEY DIDN'T RECOMMEND, RECOMMEND THE REZONING.

UM, SO FOR RIGHT NOW, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO, UM, MR. PARKER AND LET HIM GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION AND, UM, THEN I'LL COME BACK IF THAT'S OKAY TO SORT OF SUM UP, THAT'S FINE.

MR. MR. PARKER AGAIN, I'M GOING TO COUNT YOUR TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION AND NOT, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, THANK YOU, UH, BOARD MEMBERS.

UM, MY NAME IS JOHN PARKER AND WITH RIGHTS AND COMPANIES, OUR ADDRESS IS 2075 JUNIPER LAKE ROAD, UM, WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

AND, UM, WE LOOKED AT THIS PROPERTY AND, UH, AND TOOK INTO A LOT OF CONSIDERATION, THE SURROUNDING, UH, ENVIRONMENT AND, UH, PUT TOGETHER A COUPLE OF SLIDES JUST TO GIVE YOU KIND OF WHAT WE WERE SEEING IN THE AREA.

AND WHILE WE, WE HAD, UH, APPROACHED THE SITE, UM, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE ARIEL, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT FAR FROM, FROM THE LANGLEY RESEARCH AREA, UM, WHAT ZOOMING A LITTLE CLOSER.

I THINK IF I GET THIS RIGHT, AND THERE WE GO, UM, A LITTLE, A LITTLE UP CLOSE SHOT HERE.

UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HIGHWAY, THE FOUR-LANE ACROSS, UH, FROM US, OF COURSE, UM, SOME GREEN SPACE AND A RESIDENTIAL BEHIND US, UM, JUST SOME STREET VIEWS.

AND I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN SOME SIMILAR ONES.

I DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU, BUT THIS IS A SITE FACING WEST PRETTY BUSY ROAD.

OF COURSE, I THINK EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH IT.

UM, THIS IS BASICALLY ME STANDING IN THE SIDE, KIND OF AIMING DOWN.

AND I THINK MY, MY REAL TAKEAWAY AND WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW THE BOARD WAS THIS HAS BUSY, AND THIS IS A, IT'D BE A HARD SELL FOR ME AS A DEVELOPER.

AND WE DEVELOP STRIP MALLS AND CUSTOM EXOTIC HOMES.

YOU NAME IT.

IT'D BE HARD FOR ME TO WANT TO PUT A HOUSE HERE.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE APPROACHED, UM, THE, THE, UH, BOARD ABOUT THIS.

AND, AND, YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET A LITTLE, A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THESE SLIDES, YOU START SEEING SOME OF THE USES IN THE AREA AND SOME OF THE CONSISTENCY THERE.

NOW, THIS MAY NOT BE SHOWING UP PERFECTLY, BUT MR. PARKER, IF YOU COULD PULL YOUR MICROPHONE UP A LITTLE BIT.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SLIDE HERE, AND IT'S A LITTLE DISORIENTED, BUT, UM, WE DID TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, UH, AS MS. PARKER MENTIONED THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

UM, WE DEFINITELY WANTED TO SOFTEN THE LOOK BY DOING BRICK FACADE, UM, INCREASED LANDSCAPING AND FENCING.

UM, REALLY ANYBODY ON THE PERIMETER OUTSIDE OF THAT SHOULD ONLY SEE TREES AND FENCING UNLESS

[01:10:01]

THEY HAVE X-RAY VISION.

SO WE REALLY WANTED TO SOFTEN THAT UP, UM, KEEP THAT, UH, THAT BACKYARD VIEW NATURAL, UM, THROUGH THOSE EXISTING TREES THAT THEY HAVE THERE NOW.

UM, AND, AND THIS IS THE BUILDING FACADE, UH, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, UM, YOU KNOW, AWNINGS AND, UH, FO WINDOWS OR, OR SHUTTERS ON THE FRONT, REALLY KEEPING THAT HOME KIND OF SOFTER LOOK, ALMOST A BEACH LOOK, AND THERE'S A COLORED RENDERING OF IT QUITE, QUITE ATTRACTIVE IF I WOULD SAY.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THAT WE, WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYONE AROUND FELT LIKE THIS WAS AN, AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE COMMUNITY, NOT A TAKEAWAY, UH, OF COURSE A MONUMENT SIGN WAS PROFFERED IN.

AND AS MS. BARKER DEMENTIA, WE, WE DID REDUCE THE USES DOWN.

THE PROPOSED USE IS DOWN TO WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER TO BE NON, YOU KNOW, ABRASIVE OR LESS, YOU KNOW, UM, INTENSIVE USES SOMETHING THAT WOULD SERVE THE COMMUNITY MORE THAN A HINDRANCE, UM, HERE IN THE, THE OVERHEAD MAP, AS YOU CAN SEE THE SITE THERE, UH, REALLY WANTED TO POINT OUT, UM, THAT THE GENERAL BUSINESS NEARBY AND THE LIMITED BUSINESS ACROSS THE STREET, UM, THAT'S WHY WE FELT LIKE THIS AREA MIGHT BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR REZONING CONSIDERING THE USES AROUND IT AND THE, WHAT LOOKED LIKE INTENT FOR LIMITED BUSINESS ACROSS THE STREET.

UM, AND THESE ARE SOME NON RESIDENTIAL USES DIRECTLY, UM, ADJACENT OR NEAR TO THE SITE.

UM, WE SAW A PATTERN AND WE THOUGHT LIKE THIS EVENTUALLY MIGHT EVOLVE INTO MORE OF A COMMERCIAL USE AREA, UM, BASED ON THOSE DESTINATIONS BEING NEARBY.

UM, JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN LANGLEY AND THAT DRAW.

I THINK A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH IS PROBABLY GOING TO LANGLEY.

I'M NOT SURE.

YEAH, I'M SURE Y'ALL KNOW THE NUMBERS ON THE AMOUNT OF FOLKS THAT WORK OUT THERE, BUT THIS IS A PRETTY BUSY HIGHWAY.

AND THEN AGAIN, SOME, SOME SHOTS OF THE, UH, SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL, SOME WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND, AND REALLY, UH, THAT'S IT, I JUST WANTED TO POINT A FEW OF THOSE FEATURES OUT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.

UM, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PLAN THAT WE WERE PROPOSING AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, MR. SHEPHERD.

UM, SO IN YOUR, THIS APPLICATION, YOU JUST LOOKED AT THESE TWO LOTS.

DID YOU THINK ABOUT MAYBE PURCHASING THE ONES THAT NEXT TO IT? UM, WE, WE DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY, UM, CONTRACT ON THE, THE NEXT LOTS OVER, UH, THEY ARE VACANT.

UM, I KNOW WE HAVE TALKED TO THOSE OWNERS, I DO BELIEVE.

UM, BUT I'M NOT SURE PERSONALLY OF THE POSITION THAT WE'RE IN, UH, ON THOSE LOTS, BUT, UM, I KNOW THAT WE DID LOOK INTO THEM.

MR. RON, YOU SAID YOU WERE BASED OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA.

YES, SIR.

WHERE, WHAT WAS IT THAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THESE TWO PARTICULAR, LOTS OF PARALLELS BETWEEN HERE AND YOUR HOME BASE? WELL, WE, WE SERVE QUITE A FEW CLIENTS FROM STARBUCKS TO DUNKIN DONUTS, UM, DOLLAR GENERALS, WE BUILD STRIP MALLS, AND WHEN WE'RE LOOKING IN A MARKET, WE HAVE EVERYONE IN MIND AND WE'RE LOOKING AT PROXIMITY, UM, TO THE SURROUNDING, UH, OR NEXT STORE LOCATION OR COMPETITION.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD, WE HAVE A LOT OF BUILD TO SUIT.

KLEIN'S BOJANGLES, YOU KNOW, YOU NAME IT.

SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOK FOR THAT SPECIAL SPOT.

AND THEN IN THAT AREA, IT MIGHT BE A TWO MILE AREA.

WE START TALKING TO LANDOWNERS AND SEEING IF WE CAN NEGOTIATE A, A GOOD, UH, PURCHASE PRICE, OR FIND LAND THAT MEETS THE SIZE AND CRITERIA THAT WE NEED.

UM, WE HAVE PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED ACRES TO TWO AND A HALF.

UM, BUT I THINK THEY'RE IN THIS TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD AND BRING JOBS AND TAX REVENUE TO THE COMMUNITIES IS GREAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP PUSHING, AND HOPEFULLY IF THIS LOCATION DOESN'T WORK OUT, THEN WE'LL LOOK FOR ANOTHER ONE CLOSE BY.

IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT IT WOULD EVER BE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC WHO WANTS TO LIVE ON BASICALLY A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY.

MY PLEASURE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THAT POINT? ALL RIGHT.

MR. SATO, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME AND BACK CLEAN UP HERE? THANK YOU FOLKS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK I FAILED TO GIVE YOU MY BUSINESS ADDRESS, WHICH I APOLOGIZE.

MY BUSINESS ADDRESS IS SEVEN OH ONE TOWN CENTER DRIVE, SUITE 800 NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA.

SO WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A TOUGH SELL, BUT I WOULD SAY A COUPLE THINGS.

ONE, THIS PROPERTY

[01:15:01]

SO THE MARKET ALMOST DICTATES THAT IT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL USE.

WE'VE TRIED TO LIMIT THE COMMERCIAL USE THROUGH THE USE OF, BY THE PROFFERS CREATING BUFFER ZONES.

I WOULD ALSO REMIND YOU THAT IF ANY OF THE SUP USES, IF ANYBODY WAS INTERESTED IN THOSE TYPES OF USES, THEY'D HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU ANYWAY.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S YOUR PROTECTION.

UH, THE COUNTY'S PROTECTION, THE COUNTY PROTECTION ALSO HAS THROUGH THE PROFFERS, WHETHER IT'S THE DESIGN AND THE USE AND IN ALL THE LIMITATIONS THAT WE PUT ON THERE.

SO WE'D ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THAT, BUT, UM, WE'D ALSO ASK THAT YOU THINK, YOU KNOW, THIS PROPERTY WILL THIS OWNER, UM, WHERE THE CONTRACT PURCHASER, BUT THE OWNER PROBABLY IT WILL BE VACANT UNLESS THERE IS SOME CHANGE TO THE ZONING BECAUSE THE CURRENT ZONING REALLY DOESN'T FIT WHAT THE MARKET IS DICTATING AND WHAT THE, THE SURROUNDING AREA WITH THAT HIGHWAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THERE'S A REASON WHY THAT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ON THESE PROPERTIES, THAT THEY DIDN'T EXPAND INTO THESE PROPERTIES BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE OF THAT TRAFFIC AND THAT COMMERCIAL NATURE OF THAT ROAD.

SO WE'D ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER IT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER AND SEEING THAT THE TWO PEOPLE WHO HAD ALREADY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN AS THE APPLICANT.

UH, DOES ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? SEEING NONE? I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING MR. SHEPHERD FOR THE BOARD.

UM, W WE'VE ALL SEEN THE RECOMMENDATION.

SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT DENIAL, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND FROM THE STAFF, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT HERE THAT I JUST WANT TO KIND OF PUT A MARKER DOWN FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO COME FOR THE BOARD AND DO THIS, UM, TOO, THE SENSITIVITY TO PUTTING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND WE'RE AROUND A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

THREE IS REALLY, REALLY HIGH.

UM, AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, YOU GO, WELL, NO ONE, NO ONE'S GOING TO WANT TO LIVE THERE.

WELL, I DISAGREE COMPLETELY ON THAT POINT.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES HERE IN A MOMENT, BUT THE ONE IMPORTANT PART IS THAT WHEN YOU WANT TO CONVERT, UM, RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL, YOU DON'T WALK OVER THERE AND JUST GO, WELL, THAT'S RESIDENTIAL ESCO C WAS THROW A STICKER ON THE WALL AND SEE IF THIS COUNTY IS GOING TO JUST BUY ON THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, UH, AND A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

UM, THEN YEAH, THAT IS NO, WE ARE.

IN FACT, IT'S EVEN TOUGHER AS ARE, AS EQUALLY AS TOUGH IS WHEN YOU TRY TO CONVERT RESIDENTIAL TO EVEN THE HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WE'VE SEEN UP FROM WALT'S DISTRICT.

SO SENSITIVITY TO WHAT GOES ON AROUND AND ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL.

UH, IS IT PRETTY HIGH? ARE THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTY LIKE LIVING IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, WE 80% OF 79, 80% OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE, LEAVE HERE TO GO TO WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THEY DON'T LIVE.

THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK HERE IN THE COUNTY.

THEY WANT TO LIVE AND ENJOY THE PEACEFUL EXISTENCE.

AND YOU GUYS KNOW THAT.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT THAT DRUM, BUT LET ME GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES HERE OF WHY I THINK THIS COULD BE SOLD COMMERCIALLY.

I MEAN, RESIDENTIALLY, IF YOU GO TO VICTORY BOULEVARD AND IT PASSES THROUGH SHEILA'S DISTRICT PASSES THROUGH MY DISTRICT, AND A LOT OF YOUR FOLKS, UH, IN DISTRICT FOUR, TRAVEL THROUGH VICTORY TO BUSINESS, BUSIEST INTERSECTION, MOST DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS IN THE WORLD, RIGHT? OUR WORLD.

IT FEELS LIKE THE WORLD, BUT IN YORK COUNTY, OUR RIGHT AND OUR WORLD ARE RIGHT THERE.

THE ROUTE 17 AND VICTORY BOULEVARD, ROUTE 17 AND HAMPTON HIGHWAY.

BUT IF YOU TAKE ALL THE FOLKS THAT COME OFF THE EXPRESSWAY, I 64 AND HEAD THROUGH THIS AREA TO TRAVEL DOWN TOWARDS .

MOST OF THEM EMPTY OUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.

AND ONE OF THE BIG BUSY AREAS IS BIG BETHEL ROAD, WHICH IS THIS AREA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, VERY CLOSE TO THAT, RIGHT ON THE CORNER OF BIG BETHEL ROAD AND VICTORY.

THERE'S A HOUSE THAT'S BEEN THERE.

BEEN THERE PROBABLY SINCE THE FIFTIES, BUT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, THEY JUST BUILT ONE THAT'S UP FOR SALE RIGHT THERE.

17, EXCUSE ME, ROUTE, UH, ONE 71 VICTORY BOULEVARD.

I MEAN, I THOUGHT THAT LAW WOULD NEVER SELL, BUT BOOM, IT JUST SHOWED UP.

AND NOW I GOT A HOUSE ON IT AND I GOT A HOUSE NEXT TO IT.

NOW JUST TAKE IT ON DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER TO, BECAUSE SIN AND THE LEGACY OF, BECAUSE IN 600 HOME DEVELOPMENT WITH A 25 FOOT SETBACK OFF OF ROUTE

[01:20:01]

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE PUT RIGHT ALONG THAT CORNER, A FOREST, I THINK HE'S THREE OR FOUR STORY HIGHS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE LOOKING DEVELOPERS FOR COMMERCIAL OR FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ARE LOOKING FOR EVERY PLACE.

THEY CAN PUT A HOUSE.

AND THE HOUSE PRICES IN THIS COUNTY ARE, ARE REALLY SHOOTING UP.

IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE PRICES ON THEM RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE STUNNING.

AND SO EVERY PIECE OF PROPERTY RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN PUT UP, YOU CAN PUT A HOUSE ON IT, WE'LL PUT IT, WE'LL BUILD A HOUSE AND IT WILL SELL.

AND I SAW A LITTLE 1950S HOUSE FOR SALE RIGHT NOW IT'S UP TO 400 AND SOME THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THIS AWFUL YORKTOWN ROAD.

AND IT LOOKS NICE, BUT MAN, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHAT THE DC PRICES LEASE.

I FEEL LIKE IT IS.

SO, YES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT VIC, IF YOU LOOK AT A HAMPTON HIGHWAY HAMPTON HIGHWAY, WE PUT IN THERE AS GREENBELT ROAD AND WE PUT THAT FOR A PURPOSE AND THAT'S TRIED TO HELP PROTECT THE, THE AREA.

NOW THIS PROPERTY IS DATE RATED RESIDENTIAL, AND I REALLY ADVOCATE FOR THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO STAY RESIDENTIAL THERE.

I THINK IT CAN SELL.

UM, ANYWAY, UM, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ZONING PLAN IS WHY WE HAVE A PLANNING COMMISSION AND OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.

I AGREE WITH MR. SHEPARD, BY THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE RESIDENTIAL NATURE OF THAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY, AND ALSO THE APPLICANT TALKS TO TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

AND AS A REASON WHY IT MAY NOT BE DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL, BUT THAT GETS ME TO THINKING ABOUT THE CURRENT TRAFFIC ON THAT ROAD AND PROJECTION FOR TRAFFIC GOING UP TO 2040, ADD IN ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC ON THAT ROAD BY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

ISN'T GOING TO HELP THAT ANY, I THINK WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THE IMPACT OF THAT GOING FORWARD.

UM, SO IT, IT, IT IS CONCERNING THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY ADD TO THAT, THAT PROBLEM BY, UM, UH, REZONE OF THIS AS COMMERCIAL.

SO AGAIN, I AGREE WITH MR. SHEPHERD ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THEIR RESIDENTIAL NATURE THERE AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, THE SNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE DROPPING COMMERCIAL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IF THAT YOU'RE RIGHT, IF THAT AREA OR EVENTUALLY WERE TO BE REZONED IN YEARS TO COME AND THE HOMES DON'T APPEAR THERE AND IT WOULD CHANGE, BUT RIGHT NOW, WHY WOULD WE WANT TO HAVE COMMERCIAL AND PROPERTY ON EITHER SIDE TO ME THAT'S LIKE SPOT ZONING.

AND I LIKE, I CAN'T GO ALONG WITH THAT.

AND I THINK THAT WHAT IS SO NICE ABOUT THAT HIGHWAY IS THAT IT IS A GREEN BELT AND THE TRAFFIC IS HEAVY COMMERCIALLY AT NIGHT IS VERY HEAVY HOURS ALL HOURS ACTUALLY.

SO I DON'T THINK I WOULD WANT ANY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN THAT AREA AT THIS TIME.

SO I'M SORRY.

I, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

AND I, I TRY TO SUPPORT DEVELOPERS IF WE CAN, BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY RATIONAL REASON TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

MR. SORRENTO, THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN THE UPPER COUNTY, UH, UH, UH, ALWAYS LOOK FOR REASONS WHY I DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TOWARD HAMPTON IN YOUR COUNTY, UH, BECAUSE WE CAN SORT OF THE UPPER COUNTY GOD'S COUNTRY, NOT WITHSTANDING THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE WE'RE FACED WITH.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT BOOK, SINCE BOTH THE STAFF AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, UH, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION WEIGHED IN WITH NO RECOMMENDED, NO AND RATIONALE BEHIND THAT, NO, THAT YOU DIDN'T CHALLENGE ANYTHING THAT WAS SAID WITH RESPECT TO, UH, THE BASIS FOR THOSE, THOSE TWO POSITIONS.

AND SO I, I CAN'T SEE A REASON TO OVERTURN THAT THOSE STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS AND I'M READY TO VOTE.

UH, WE'D LIKE TO MATT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION? I'LL MOVE THE RESOLUTION.

THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO MOVE RESOLUTION 21 DASH EIGHT.

YEP.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ZAREMBA IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 DASH EIGHT TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION AS SUBMITTED MRS. NOLE.

MR. ZAREMBA, MR. GREEN ON A VOTE OF ZERO FIVE MOTION FAILED.

[2 Application No. UP-964-21, Orin B. Collier and David R. Chaffins. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R21-61 to approve an application to authorize a tourist home in an existing detached accessory structure at 121 Lafayette Road.]

FOR A TOURIST TOM IN AN EXISTING EX ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT ONE 21 LAFAYETTE ROAD.

I'LL MOVE INTO THE NEXT APPLICANT.

IUPY NINE SIX FOUR DASH 21 COLLIER AND DAVIS AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO CALL ON MS. PARKER FOR A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

OOPS.

SHORT PERSON.

THIS IS AN APPLICATION

[01:25:01]

A NOTE, THIS WAS A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED TOURIST HOME, UH, AND OPERATED AS SUCH BETWEEN 2010 AND 2018.

UM, AT THAT TIME, THE, A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, THE, THE USE DISCONTINUED FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

SO IT EXPIRED.

SO THE NEW OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY WANTED TO REINSTATE THE USE AS A FACILITY MAP OF THE AREA.

THIS IS THE, UH, MOREHOUSE SUBDIVISION, UM, JUST COMPLETE ALL SINGLE FAMILY, UM, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL HOUSES ZONING, OUR 20 MEDIUM DENSITY, SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL.

THE GREEN IS A RESOURCE CONSERVATION.

THAT'S ALL NATIONAL PARK SERVICE PROPERTY.

AND, UH, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, DESIGNATES THIS FOR MEDIUM DENSITY.

THIS IS JUST A, UH, ARIEL OF THE, OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.

UH, APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN RED THERE.

SO CLOSE UP.

KITCHEN DINING, LIVING BATHROOM ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

MS. PARKER REAL QUICK.

I SEE A RED LINE GOING RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THAT HOUSE.

IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD AND THE PEOPLE IN TV LAND, WHAT EXACTLY THAT YOU'RE GETTING THAT I'LL GET TO THAT? UH, THERE IS TWO PROPERTIES WITH PROPERTY LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE, UM, VEHICLE ACCESS IS FROM MOREHOUSE ROAD, WHICH IS THE TOP OF THE PICTURE HERE.

THERE'S EXISTING PARKING THAT WAS THERE FOR THE PREVIOUS TOURS HOME.

UM, AND, UH, THE ACTUAL, WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE FACES LAFAYETTE.

SO THEY'RE DOUBLE FRONTED, LOTS TORE HOME IS A LITTLE BUILDING HERE, DETACHED BUILDING, UH, PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA.

THIS IS ON MOREHOUSE LOOKING AT TECHNICALLY THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

UM, ANOTHER, UH, UH, SHOT FROM THAT, THE TOURIST HOME ON THE LEFT SIDE HERE AND PARKING, THERE IS A NOTE TWO CAR GARAGE FOR THE MAIN HOUSE, ANOTHER CLOSEUP OF THE TOURIST HOME AND NOTE THERE'S FENCING THERE FOR BUFFERING AGAINST THE ADJACENT PROPERTY, UH, W APPLICANT'S PROPERTY ON THE RIGHT, LOOKING DOWN MOREHOUSE AND THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION DOWN MOREHOUSE AND HOUSES, YORK RIVER BEYOND THEIR HOUSES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

THIS IS THE ADJACENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE, UH, THE BACK OF THE HOUSE AND THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO HER.

SO I'M ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PICTURE, AND THIS WOULD BE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE OFF LAFAYETTE, ANOTHER SHOT SHOW IN THE ADJACENT HOUSE, UH, THE PROPERTY TO THE LEFT.

YOU CAN'T SEE IT ALL FROM LAFAYETTE BECAUSE OF ALL THE EVERGREEN TREES THERE.

AND THIS IS THE HOUSE ON THE FAR SIDE OF LAFAYETTE ACROSS THE STREET.

SO IT'S THE APPLICANT SKETCH PLAN.

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SKETCH PLAN WAS TURNED IN, UH, BACK IN, IN, UH, YOUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION, UH, BUILDINGS IN BROWN AND THEN GRAVEL DRIVEWAY.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BETTER SKETCH PLAN OF THAT.

UH, THE TWO PROPERTIES COMBINED 0.4, TWO ACRE, SO ALMOST A HALF AN ACRE, THE TOURIST HOME EXISTING, UH, THIS, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, 456 SQUARE FEET.

THE DWELLING IS 1,872 SQUARE FEET.

AND AS I MENTIONED, THEY'VE GOT A TWO CAR GARAGE, UH, EXISTING, SEPARATE PARKING FOR THE TOURIST HOME AND A EXISTING LANDSCAPE BUFFER THERE.

THAT WAS FOR THE PREVIOUS TOURIST HOME USE.

NOW THE PROPERTY LINE THROUGH THE MIDDLE, UH, THIS IS PART OF THE, UH, MOREHOUSE SUBDIVISION.

IT WAS PLANTED IN 1924, UH, LONG BEFORE WE EVEN HAD ZONING.

UM, I BELIEVE THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN WHAT WAS REFERRED TO BACK THEN AS VACATION LOTS AT THE TIME.

UM, THE, UH, THE PARCELS OBVIOUSLY ARE NON-CONFORMING AND THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN THE LATE SIXTIES.

I BELIEVE AT THAT TIME, AS LONG AS THE SAME OWNER OWNED BOTH PARCELS, WE DIDN'T REQUIRE THAT, UH, THE PARCELS BE COMBINED INTO ONE.

UH, WE DO HAVE A CONDITION OF APPROVAL NOW FOR THAT THE, A TOURIST HOME AND THE MAIN DWELLING REALLY NEED TO BE ON THE SAME PROPERTY.

UM, WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING WITH THESE LOTS, YOU KNOW, AS THEY COME IN FOR PERMITS, WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN, UH, GRADUALLY GETTING, GETTING THEM COMBINED.

IT'S JUST THE, YEAH.

APPLICANT SKETCH PLAN, FLOOR PLAN, LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN BATHROOM, UM, ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THEN A SINGLE BEDROOM SUITE ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN SUMMARY, 450 FOOT SQUARE FOOT TOURIST, HOME AND EXISTING DETACHED STRUCTURE.

IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A TOURIST HOME BETWEEN 2010, 2018, A ONE BEDROOM UPSTAIRS

[01:30:01]

THEY WOULD ONLY BE A MAXIMUM TWO GUESTS AT ANY ONE TIME.

THE LENGTH OF STAY WOULD RANGE BETWEEN ONE AND 14 NIGHTS.

SO NO MORE THAN TWO WEEKS OWNERS WOULD RESIDE ON THE PREMISES AT ALL TIMES, UM, THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING RENTED.

THE TOURIST HOME IS BEING RENTED, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

ONE DEDICATED AUSTRIA PARKING SPACES REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE AVERAGE DAILY VEHICLE TRIPS.

UM, FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BE 9.5.

UM, YOU COULD EXPECT UP TO 10.5 ADDITIONAL FOR THE TOURIST HOME WHEN IT'S BEING RENTED.

UM, TRAFFIC COUNTS FOR MOREHOUSE ARE 240 AVERAGE DAILY, UH, ESTIMATES.

SO WE DON'T FEEL THERE'LL BE ANY IMPACT, UH, ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THAT PROPOSED APPROVAL CONDITIONS.

A SITE LAYOUT FLOOR PLANS THAT WAS SHOWN ON THE, UH, APPLICATION PLANS, UH, MA MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICANT'S NARRATIVE IN RESIDENTS, TOURIST HOME OPERATORS AT ALL TIMES THAT IT'S BEING RENTED.

OWNER MUST BE OWNER OPERATOR MUST BE PRESENT ON THE PROPERTY LIMITED TO ONE SUITE, TWO GUESTS, ONE OFF STREET, PARKING SPACE, PROPERTY LINE VACATION, UH, THROUGH A PLAT BEFORE THE, UH, USE STARTS UP AGAIN.

AND, UH, THE TERM OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WOULD EXPIRE AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP.

AND WE FEEL IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS TOURS HOME BUSINESS.

WE HAD NO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND ALL THE TIME THAT THAT TOURISM WAS THERE, NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING AREA, GIVEN THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL THAT WOULD LIMIT IT TO SMALL SCALE.

AND WE WOULD THEREFORE RECOMMEND APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION NUMBER R 21 DASH 61.

AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. PARKER.

TELL ME, HAVE YOU HEARD FROM ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS, WE HAD NO FORMAL COMMENTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

I WOULD NOTE WHEN I WAS OUT THERE TAKING PICTURES, UM, I HAD PEOPLE FROM TWO DIFFERENT ADJACENT PROPERTIES COME TO ASK ME WHAT I WAS DOING.

AND I MENTIONED THAT THEY WANTED TO START UP THE TOURIST HOME AGAIN, AND THEY WERE FINE WITH THAT.

THANK YOU, MR. ZAREMBA, I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT THAT'S KIND OF TOTALLY IN CONTRAST TO THE PUSHBACK UP AT QUEENSLAND WHEN WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO TOURIST HOMES.

LIKE, SO WITHOUT ANYBODY OBJECTING DOWN THERE.

AND IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN THERE BEFORE, WAS IT CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP? YES.

UH HUH.

I SEE NO REASON TO TURN IT DOWN, BUT THAT'S MY COMPANY, MR. RON.

HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY SINCE THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION WAS APPROVED? NO, EVERYTHING'S THE SAME.

THE APPLICATION, THIS APPLICATION IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION.

IT WOUND UP EXPIRING.

AND, UM, BUT WE DO HAVE NEW OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY NOW.

UM, I'M ENCOURAGED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE OTHER PROPERTY.

LIKE YOU MENTIONED, IT KIND OF DICTATES A VERY LOW TRAFFIC, UH, SMALL, SMALL FOOTPRINT, ONLY TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME CAN, CAN STAY.

UM, SO THAT'S REALLY GOING TO NARROW THE, THE POTENTIAL IMPACT ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THIS AND, AND SEEING HOW THAT EXISTED BEFORE, WITHOUT ANY ISSUES THAT THAT'S ENCOURAGING, ENCOURAGING AS WELL.

THANK YOU, MR. SHEPHERD.

YEAH, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS THE, THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IS THIS GOING TO BE TIED TO THE INDIVIDUAL OR TO THE PROPERTY? THIS WOULD BE TIED TO THE, UH, OWNERS, THE CURRENT OWNERS SO THAT IF THE PROPERTY WERE TO CHANGE, IF THEY CHANGE, IF THEY, IF THE PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS, IT AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRES.

OKAY, GREAT.

AND PART OF THIS, UH, PLAN IS THAT THEY VACATE THE PROPERTY LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE, OKAY.

SECTION 24.1 DASH THREE OH SIX OF THE YORK COUNTY ORDINANCE AS, AS REQUIRED.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE WISHES TO PLEAD, PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES IF YOU, IF YOU NEED IT.

I DON'T THINK I WILL.

I MIGHT HAVE THREE, IF THAT, UM, GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS OREN COLLIER.

UM, I RESIDE AT ONE 21 LAFAYETTE ROAD.

UM, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING.

UM, UM, AS WAS MENTIONED, MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2019 WITH THE, UM, FUTURE GOAL OF RELOCATING HERE, UH, UPON MY RETIREMENT AND MOVING IN, WHICH WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING, WE ARE RENOVATING THE HOME AS WELL AS THE, UM, UM, COTTAGE.

THAT'S ALSO LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY AS YOU, AS YOU'VE BEEN, UH, UM, WE ARE APPLYING FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH

[01:35:01]

UM, OUR PLAN IS TO INITIALLY LIST THIS AS, UH, UH, AIRBNB OR OTHER ONLINE RENTAL.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY IT, UH, AT SOME POINT WE HAVE SECURED A, UH, UM, A URL WEB ADDRESS, AND THEN, UM, MARKET MANAGE IT, UM, AS A, AS A TOURIST HOME, UM, ART SELLS RATHER THAN THROUGH A THIRD PARTY.

UM, WE DO AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

UM, WE THINK THE COTTAGE IS IN A GREAT LOCATION, UM, FOR THE HISTORICAL SITES, NOT ONLY WITHIN YORKTOWN, BUT ALSO IN THE GREATER AREA OF WILLIAMSBURG AND JAMESTOWN.

UM, AS A, UM, FORMER NAVY PILOT AND A VETERAN, I ALSO THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE COAST GUARD, MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE, UM, OVER AT THE COAST GUARD STATION AT TRAINING, HAVING A LOCATION WHERE, YOU KNOW, PARENTS AND OTHER RELATIVES CAN COME AND VISIT AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, UH, WILL BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO THEM.

I'VE ALSO TALKED TO MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

UM, THAT'S A VERY, VERY FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE'RE SO GLAD TO BE LIVING THERE.

UM, AND SOME OF THEM HAVE ACTUALLY SHARED THAT.

UM, AND UNDER THE PREVIOUS SPECIAL USE PERMIT, THEY'VE ACTUALLY USED THAT COTTAGE RENTED THAT COTTAGE FOR, UM, THEIR GUESTS AND VISITORS BECAUSE OF ITS, UH, UH, CONVENIENT LOCATION AND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO, TO THEIR HOME.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THAT'S ALSO AN ADDED BENEFIT.

UM, SO, UM, WITH THAT BEING SAID, UM, I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU APPROVE OUR APPLICATION FOR A, SUPPOSED TO BE JUST PERMIT ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO, MR. RON.

YEAH, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS REAL QUICK.

UH, THE MEETING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES SAID THAT YOUR INTENT WAS RETIRED, MOVED BACK TO THE AREA.

SO YOU WERE LIVING WITH, WITH US HERE ON YOU ALL KIND OF BEFORE OR WHILE WE'VE BEEN LIVING IN, UH, THE GREATER, UM, HAMPTON ROADS AREA FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS IN 2015.

UH, WE RELOCATED BECAUSE OF MY JOB I HAVE NOW RETIRED AND WE ARE NOW ABLE TO MOVE BACK HERE.

HEY, WELCOME BACK.

AND IS YOUR ATTENTION TO RESIDE ON PROPERTY FULL TIME? NOT JUST WHEN IT'S OH, YES, ABSOLUTELY.

THAT IS, THAT IS, THAT IS OUR PERMANENT HOME.

WE ARE, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RENOVATING THAT HOME AND PLAN ON MAKING THAT OUR FOREVER HOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ALL THE WAY.

I'VE GOT TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING HERE.

SO THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING DAY BY WISH TO SPEAK TO THE ISSUE, SEEING NONE.

I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND NOW I'M GOING TO CALL ON MR. ZAREMBA.

MR. ZAREMBA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE FOR THE DISCUSSION ON MOVE OR 2161? ALL RIGHT.

MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO OUR RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU, SHEILA.

21 DASH 61.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ZAREMBA IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 21 DASH 61 TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION AS THE ADMITTED MR. ROWAN.

IT'S NICE TO HAVE A TOURIST HOME WHERE THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION AND, UH, VERY, UH, VERY FRIENDLY AND CORDIAL.

THIS WAS A GOOD FIT.

BEST OF LUCK WITH IT.

AND SEVERAL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS HAD CALLED ME PRIOR WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD YOU LIVE IN AND GOT GREAT NEIGHBORS AND, UH, BEST OF LUCK.

GO TO CALL ON MR. CROSS FOR OUR SIX YEAR SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

NOW WE'LL

[3 Six Year Secondary Road Improvement Program. Receive public comments jointly with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and consider adoption of proposed Resolution R21-68 to approve a project priority listing for secondary road construction for the sixyear period Fiscal Year 2022 through Fiscal Year 2027 and to approve a construction budget for Fiscal Year 2022.]

ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO? AND LET'S GO SEVEN YEARS AGO.

GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD EACH YEAR, THE BOARD NEEDS TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS PROJECTED TO BE ALLOCATED BY V.TO THE COUNTY OVER THE NEXT SIX YEARS.

AND ALSO AS PART OF THAT APPROVED THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION BUDGET FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR IN THIS CASE, I'VE Y 22.

AND IF IT SEEMS LIKE WE JUST WENT THROUGH THIS EXERCISE, IT'S BECAUSE WE DID, UH, NORMALLY WE DO THIS IN MAY, UH, AS WE ARE NOW, BUT LAST YEAR THE SCHEDULE WAS POSTPONED BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

SO, UH, WE BROUGHT THIS, UH, ACTION TO YOU, UH, LAST OCTOBER.

SO SEVEN MONTHS AGO, OUR PROJECTED SECONDARY ROAD ALLOCATION IS A LITTLE UNDER $1.2 MILLION OVER THE SIX YEAR PERIOD.

IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT GETS A LITTLE SMALLER EACH YEAR.

UH, SO NOW WE'RE DOWN TO ABOUT A LITTLE UNDER $200,000 A YEAR ON AVERAGE IN SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS.

AND THAT'S DOWN ABOUT 12% FROM LAST YEAR'S, UH, PROJECTED ALLOCATION.

YES, MA'AM WHAT WAS IT

[01:40:01]

WELL, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK LONGER THAN THAT, IT WAS, UH, LIKE $9 MILLION AND, UH, YEAH, IT'S, THAT WAS, YEAH.

UM, OUR SECONDARY ROAD PROJECT IS ONE THAT, UH, MOST OF YOU ARE NO DOUBT, VERY WELL FAMILIAR WITH, AND THAT IS THE RECONSTRUCTION AND WIDENING OF PENNIMAN ROAD BETWEEN ALEXANDER LEE PARKWAY AND FILLMORE DRIVE WITH A, UH, WHICH INCLUDES A REALIGNMENT OF THE INTERSECTION OF GOVERNMENT ROAD PANAMINT ROAD, UH, FROM A Y INTERSECTION TO A T INTERSECTION.

AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE ADDITION OF FOUR FOOT SHOULDER BIKE LANES ON BOTH SIDES OF PENNIMAN.

SO THAT WOULD EXTEND THE BIKE LANES THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

UH, YOU MAY RECALL, UH, FAIRLY RECENTLY, UH, THE COUNTY WORK WOULD BE OUT TO RESTRIPE, UH, PENNIMAN ROAD TO PROVIDE, UH, BIKE LANES UP TO THAT POINT.

UH, SO WILL INCLUDE FOUR FOOT BIKE LANES, AS WELL AS THE ADDITION OF CURB AND GUTTER.

UH, DESPITE THE LACK OF VISIBLE PROGRESS ON THIS, UH, ON THIS PROJECT, I CAN SHOW YOU THAT CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN MADE IN THE PAST YEAR, BUT IT'S ALL BEEN BEHIND THE SCENES.

UH, PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING IS NOW COMPLETE, UH, RIGHT AWAY.

ACQUISITION IS ALMOST COMPLETE OUT OF 21 PARCELS, UH, VETO HAS ACQUIRED RIGHT AWAY FROM THE 19.

UH, SO THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK ON.

UH, THE, THE, UH, RIGHT-AWAY PHASE IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETE BY THE END OF THIS JULY.

AND, UH, UTILITY RELOCATION, UH, WILL BEGIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

IT'S SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST.

SO WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE SHOULD ACTUALLY SEE SOME ACTUAL ACTIVITY OUT THERE.

UH, THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO BE ADVERTISED FOR CONSTRUCTION MAY 10TH OF 2022.

AND, UH, SO CONSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN LATE SUMMER, EARLY FALL OF NEXT YEAR.

UH, AND SO, UH, AS I, AS I SAY, THE PROJECT IS MOVING, UH, MOVING FORWARD.

UH, THIS IS A, UM, THIS IS A JOINT COUNTY V DOT PUBLIC HEARING, AND GLEN BROOKS AREAS, GLEN BROOKS FROM THE RESIDENCY, UH, IS ALSO HERE.

UH, EITHER OF US CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, UH, BUT WE DO, OUR STAFF DOES RECOMMEND THAT YOU ADOPT RESOLUTION R 21 DASH 68 TO APPROVE THE SIX YEAR, UH, FUNDING PROGRAM AND THE, UH, ONE YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET FOR 22.

THANK YOU, MR. BROOKS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND GOOD EVENING? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.

TIM DOES A GOOD JOB WITH THAT.

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, WE CAN, WE COULD FEEL IT.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

MR. ZAREMBA HAS ONE, UH, UNDER THE REGIME, UH, THE WASHINGTON REGIME, UH, THERE'S BEEN THIS ALLOCATION OF NOT MILLIONS, NOT BILLIONS, BUT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS COMING FROM WASHINGTON TO THE STATES TO MUNICIPALITIES, PRESUMABLY SOME WERE IN THERE, THE VARIOUS STATES BE DOTS.

YOU KNOW, THE, YOUR COUSINS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SOMEHOW ARE GOING TO BE IN RECEIPT OF A BIG CHUNK OF DOLLARS, OR WAS THAT JUST LIKE PIE IN THE SKY, UH, WISHING OR PRAYING.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, BUT IT'S A HOPE.

I MEAN, THERE'S REALLY A HOPE, SO IT WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO THROUGH FEDERAL PROGRAMS. SO I IMAGINE THERE WOULD BE COMPETITION FOR THE MONEY.

WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT THE PROGRESS OF THAT PROJECT.

THANKS MR. RYAN, THAT NEW T INTERSECTION ON, ON PENNIMAN ROAD, IS THAT GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE? I GUESS, I GUESS, I GUESS THE HOPE IS THAT IMPROVES THE, UH, INDUSTRIAL PARK THERE.

THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LOOK AT WHEN IT'S WARRANTED.

SO THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TRAFFIC THERE NOW.

GOOD.

UM, AND MADE HER MISS MR. CROSS BEYOND THE PENNIMAN ROAD PROJECT OTHER TARGETED USES DURING THERE ARE A SIX YEAR PLAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS ANY SPECIFIC.

THIS IS ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

UH, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE MOST OF OUR ALLOCATION FOR THE NEXT FOUR AND

[01:45:01]

A HALF YEARS.

UH, THERE IS SOME OUT YOUR MONEY, 200, $250,000.

THAT IS BASICALLY PROPOSED TO BE, UH, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY, PARKED IN THE, UH, UH, UH, COUNTY ENGINEERING AND SURVEY, UH, CATEGORY.

AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS AT COMING UP WITH SOME SMALL BITE-SIZED PROJECTS, UH, THAT WE COULD APPLY THAT MONEY TO.

SO WE DON'T WIND UP IN THE SITUATION WE'RE IN NOW, UH, JUST DEDICATING ALL OUR SECONDARY ROAD FUNDS FOR YEARS AND YEARS ON END, UH, TO ONE PARTICULAR PROJECT.

I WILL SAY THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN IN THE PLAN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

IT CAME IN BACK WHEN WE WERE GETTING THOSE LARGE, UH, YOU KNOW, MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATIONS, UM, AND IT'S MOVED ITS WAY TO THE TOP OF THE LIST AS PROJECTS GOT COMPLETED.

AND THEN, UH, I FORGET WHEN IT WAS THE LATE NINETIES, UH, THERE WAS DRAMATIC CUT IN SECONDARY ROAD ALLOCATIONS ACROSS THE STATE.

AND SO WE HAD TO WHITTLE OUR, OUR SECONDARY ROAD PLAN DOWN TO TWO PROJECTS.

ONE OF WHICH WAS LAKESIDE DRIVE, WHICH WAS FINISHED A FEW YEARS AGO.

AND THIS IS THE LAST, THE LAST PROJECT FROM THE, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THE GOOD OLD DAYS, LEANING IN THERE, MR. MORGAN, LEANING FORWARD AND TOUCHING THE MIC.

SO I'M GOING TO CUT YOU OFF THERE, MR. CRANKY.

UM, AND THIS IS MAYBE, YOU KNOW, FOR MR. RONAN IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE I, YOU KNOW, SOME OF US HAVE HEARD THIS STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THIS IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF V DOT COUNTY ROAD PROGRAM INITIATIVE.

IT'S NOT THE ONLY TYPE THERE IS THAT, AND THIS PARTICULAR POT OF MONEY WHERE IT USED TO BE MEANINGFUL DOLLARS ALLOCATED BY THE STATES, EACH LOCALITY IN A FORMULA AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.

AND THAT HAS BEEN DOWN, DOWN, DOWN THE SAME TIME THAT HAPPENED, THAT TRAJECTORY STARTED AT THE TIME WHEN THE STATE STARTED REVENUE SHARING, WE DO PARTICIPATE IN THAT AS WELL.

THE DIFFERENCE IS ONLY 50% OF THE MONEY COMES THROUGH THE STATE AND THE OTHER 50% COMES FROM THE LOCALITY.

AND WE HAVE, UH, ACTIVE PROJECTS WITH VIDOT AS A PARTNER, A REVENUE SHARING, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL DIFFERENT ONES.

UH, IN FACT THAT THE, UH, AT OUR NEXT WORK SESSION, WE'RE GOING TO, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE.

AND THEN TIM IS OUR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE, UH, THE REGIONAL, UH, TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

AND THERE'S ALSO A BUNCH OF POTS OF STATE AND FEDERAL MONEY.

THEY GET ALLOCATED THROUGH THE REGIONAL PROCESS THAT MR. SHEPHERD PARTICIPATES IN, UM, C MACK AND THREE OR FOUR OTHER ACRONYMS THAT I, UH, AND SO THERE'S, THIS IS NOT LIKE THE ONLY THING GOING ON IN TRANSPORTATION IS MY ONLY POINT.

THANKS FOR THE EXTRA INFORMATION.

APPRECIATE THAT.

GREAT.

THANK YOU, MR. CROSS, UH, AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE.

THIS TIME I WANT TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

KAREN.

I'M SORRY, MR. SHEPHERD.

I, UH, I I'VE, I'M GOING TO SAY THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I SAID IT LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR PUT IT IN THE IS READ AHEAD.

UM, THIS PROGRAM IS A JOKE.

AND FOR US TO DUMP IT, I MEAN, I'VE TAKEN ANY MONEY WE CAN GET, AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE, BUT THE STATE FOLKS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MONEY IS AT A TIME WHEN THE STATE PUT EMPHASIS ON THE TRANSPORTATION STATE DID NOT, NOT WHERE THEY DUMPED IT ON US TO TRY TO COVER OUR, UH, LIKE IT DIDN'T HAMPTON ROADS OR THEY, WHERE WE HAVE WE'RE SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYERS' MONEY, THE TAXPAYERS BEING, NOT THE STATE, BUT US.

UM, DOWN HERE.

AND THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.

AND, AND I, AND THE, PUT IT ON A BIG PROJECT W FOR IN RELATIVE MONEY ON THIS PROJECT, SUCKS UP A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PUT IT ON PLACES THAT PEOPLE NEED TRAILS OF SIDEWALKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I JUST WANTED, UH, I WANTED TO BRING IT UP LOUD AND CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC AGAIN, THAT ALL THIS DOES IS JUST EVERY YEAR IT COMES INTO IRRITANT FOR ME, I JUST BLOOD PRESSURE GOES UP.

WHEN I, WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS, CAUSE AS SHEILA POINTED OUT AND WE'VE ALL SEEN WHERE WE WERE ACTUALLY IN OUR DISTRICT, IN OUR AREA, BIG BETHEL ROAD AND VICTORY, WE WERE ABLE TO DO A CHANGE THE INTERSECTION FROM WHAT IT WAS JAMMED UP SITUATION.

WHEN WE HAD THE MONEY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO VICTORY BOULEVARD AND BIG BETHEL.

AND THAT SAME PROJECT WAS COUPLE MILLION DOLLARS.

AND WE GOT THAT KNOCKED OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY.

NOW WE'RE JUST UP BUZZ.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY THAT WE COULD USE THEM PROBABLY DISTRIBUTED BETTER, BUT AS BE IT, AS IT MAY, IT IS WHAT IT IS, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN I GOT TO LIKE IT.

I'M GOING TO MOVE RESOLUTION

[01:50:01]

R 21 DASH 68, PLEASE.

MOTION'S BEEN MADE BY MISS NOLL TO MOVE RESOLUTION R 21 DASH 68.

THE MOTION MADE BY MRS. NOLE IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 21 DASH 68 TO APPROVE THE SIX YEAR SECONDARY ROAD SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS SUBMITTED MR. SHEPHERD, MR. ZAREMBA, MRS. NOLE.

I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR IT.

I DON'T LIKE IT LIKE MR. SHEPHERD, BUT YES.

NEXT.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO AMEND THE YORK COUNTY PURCHASING ORDINANCE.

I'VE GOT SALARIES.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 DASH 10 TO ESTABLISH THE SALARIES OF THE BOARD WOULD CALL ON COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR.

LET'S, LET'S GO ON A, UH, LET'S GO ON A

[4 Establish Salaries for Members of the York County Board of Supervisors. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 21-10 to establish the salaries of members of the York County Board of Supervisors effective July 1, 2021.]

MR. MORGAN, UM, STATE COULD, UH, REQUIRES COUNTIES TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING EACH YEAR TO ESTABLISH YOUR SALARIES FORMULA WE'VE TRADITIONALLY USED IS BASED ON THE POPULATION OF THE COUNTY.

UH, AND SO, UM, THIS ACTION CONTINUES, UH, THE BOARD SALARIES, UM, AT THE $9,000 ANNUAL LEVEL WITH A $1,800 SUPPLEMENT FOR THE CHAIR AND A $1,200 SUPPLEMENT FOR THE VICE CHAIR AS IT HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS, I MIGHT ADD THIS TIME.

I'D LIKE TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO, YOU KNOW, ONE WISHES TO SPEAK TO IT.

I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I'LL MOVE ORDINANCE.

NUMBER 21 DASH 10.

UM, CLERK ORDINANCE HAS BEEN MOVED.

THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ZAREMBA IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 DASH 10 TO ESTABLISH THE SALARIES OF MEMBERS OF THE YORK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, 2021.

MR. .

MR. SNOW, MR. YES.

MR. SHEPHERD, MR. GREEN.

MOTION CARRIES.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO AMENDING THE YORK COUNTY PURCHASING ORDINANCE.

[5 Amendment to the York County Purchasing Ordinance. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 21-13 to reorganize and amend the York County Purchasing Ordinance to incorporate provisions mandated by Code of Virginia Section 2.2-4343(A)(12).]

WE'LL CALL ON MR. GREG SMITH FOR A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, THE PURCHASING AGENT FOR THE COUNTY, GREG SMITH, AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST, UM, REALLY WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY IS TO REORGANIZE THE COUNTY'S PURCHASING ORDINANCE TO BETTER FLOW IN THE MANNER THAT THE STATE CODE DOES.

IT MAKES IT EASIER ON MY STAFF TO KNOW WHAT LAWS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING WHEN THEY KIND OF FALL IN THE SAME PLACES BETWEEN OUR ORDINANCE AND THE STATE CODE.

SO THAT'S THE MAIN THING IT DID.

IT ALSO DID SOME MINOR, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE THINGS.

ONE THING I WILL SAY PROBABLY THE MOST INTEREST TO YOU ALL IS THAT IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE DOLLAR LIMIT AT WHICH YOU HAVE TO APPROVE THINGS.

UH, THAT'S STILL ALL THE SAME.

UM, IT DID SOME SMALL THINGS LIKE WHEN OUR P CARDS, THE CURRENT ORDINANCE SAYS THAT THE LIMIT ON A P-CARD OR PURCHASING CREDIT CARD THAT THE COUNTY IS, IS, IS $1,500.

UM, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME EXCEPTIONS IN THE PAST, UM, FOR SOME PERTINENT, UH, SPECIAL, UH, CONDITIONS LIKE FOR OUR IT DIRECTOR AND THE DIRECTOR OF AND THE DEPUTIES, THEY NEEDED A HIGHER LIMIT, AND WE'VE GRANTED IT, BUT REALLY I HAD NO AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.

SO WE'VE ADDED A STATEMENT IN THERE THAT SAYS ON AN EXCEPTION BASIS, THE PURCHASING AGENT, UM, CAN'T APPROVE A HIGHER LIMIT.

SO IT JUST MAKES WHAT I'M DOING LEGAL.

UM, IT'S BEEN THE PRACTICE FOR QUITE A TIME.

SO EVEN BEFORE I WAS HERE, UM, IT ALSO ADDS A SECTION ABOUT BREAD BID, PROTEST AND APPEALS, UM, BEFORE, UH, A VENDOR HAD A SITUATION WHERE THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS AND THAT REALLY WASN'T FAIR TO THEM.

THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME PUTTING PROPOSALS TOGETHER.

SO THIS GIVES THEM A 10 DAY PERIOD THAT THEY CAN AT LEAST COME TO ME AND SAY, HEY, I THINK YOU MADE A MISTAKE.

AND IT GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO, IF WE MADE A MISTAKE TO FIX IT.

UM, IF THEY DON'T LIKE THAT, THEN THEY CAN GO TO COURT.

SO, UM, IT JUST, IT'S MORE FRIENDLY TO OUR VENDORS AND WE, WE NEED OUR VENDORS.

WE WANT TO NOT BE ADVERSARIAL WITH THEM.

UM, THE OTHER THING THAT IT'S DONE AND TO SPEND TWO YEARS LATE IN DOING SO, IS THAT FOR US? OH, LET ME BACK UP THE STATE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SAID THAT THEY DID NOT, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ADVERTISE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS IN YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

WE DIDN'T GET THAT CHANGED.

SO FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE'VE WHENEVER WE DO A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, WE STILL ADVERTISE IT.

IT'S RATHER EXPENSIVE.

THE STATE ALLOWS US TO USE THE STATE'S, UH, ELECTRONIC, UH, PROCUREMENT SITE TO DO THAT.

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING

[01:55:01]

THAT AS WELL.

SO IT'S JUST CLEANING UP SOME LITTLE ADMINISTRATIVE THINGS.

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS WAS TO GET IT ALIGNED WITH THE, THE STATE GUIDE, MISS NOLA, ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS.

THANKS MR. ZAREMBA, ANY QUESTIONS? DID YOU RECALL ANY, ANY INSTANCE WHERE THE USE OF THESE CARDS WAS ABUSED IN TERMS OF FORTUNATELY SPEAKING BY ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES? UH, NO.

NO.

SO I'VE BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR COMING ON FOUR YEARS.

AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE, THE P CARDS DO GET AUDITED BY THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE STAFF.

AND IT'S NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION OF AN ERROR.

UM, AND I THINK THAT'S TO THE COUNTIES.

UH, IT'S ADMIRABLE, BUT THAT'S THE CASE.

YEP.

GREAT.

THANK YOU, MR. RYAN, THE, UH, THE RFPS YOU ADVERTISE IN THE PAPER, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH VIEWER VIEWING THAT GOT? I MEAN, I DON'T IN MY PREVIOUS JOB IN ANOTHER ADJACENT LOCALITY IN NEWPORT NEWS, WE'D ACTUALLY DID A LITTLE STUDY AT ONE TIME TO FIND OUT HOW PEOPLE WERE FINDING OUT ABOUT OUR SOLICITATIONS.

AND IT WAS, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT THE PERCENTAGE WAS LIKE IN THE 90 PERCENTAGE RANGE FOR ONLINE AND THEN ALL THE OTHER THINGS JUST KIND OF PETERED OUT.

SO ELIMINATING THE, THE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A NOMINAL IMPACT IF, IF ANYTHING, THAT'S RIGHT.

BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN WE POST THE ONE TO THE STATE'S WEBSITE, FIRST OF ALL, THAT'S OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE ALSO MOST OF THE VENDORS AT NO CHARGE TO THEM CAN REGISTER WITH THE STATE AND GET NOTIFICATIONS FROM ALL LOCALITIES.

SO THEY, THEY GET, THEY GET NOTICE OF IT.

THANK YOU, MR. SHEPHERD.

NO QUESTION.

THIS TIME, MR. MORGAN, YOU'RE REACHING FOR THE MICROPHONE.

JUST, UH, JUST, I KNOW THE, UH, THE BOARD, MAYBE HASN'T HAD TOO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO GET TO KNOW MR. SMITH.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, UH, WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE, UH, SINCE, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO RECRUIT GREG AND HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB AS OUR PURCHASING AGENT.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

AT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SAY WHEN WISH TO SPEAK TO THE PROPOSED CHANGES, SEE NONE I'M GOING TO CLOSE.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD I'LL MOVE ORDINANCE.

21 DASH 13.

MOTION HAS BEEN MADE BY MISS KNOLL TO MOVE ORDINANCE 21 DASH 13.

THE MOTION MADE BY MRS. NOLE IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 21 DASH 13, TO REORGANIZE AND AMEND THE YORK COUNTY PURCHASING ORDINANCE TO INCORPORATE PROVISIONS MANDATED BY THE CODE OF VIRGINIA MRS. NOLE.
