[Additional Item]
RIGHT.AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO, UH, ACTUALLY WE'D LIKE TO HONOR A COUPLE OF OUR PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.
UH, ONE THAT'S ALREADY LEFT THE COMMISSION A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND, UH, ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE LEAVING US SOON.
OH, CARLOS, YOU'RE GOING TO LEAD US OFF ON THAT STORY.
NOW, AS YOU INDICATED TONIGHT, WE WANTED TO JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO RECOGNIZE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ONE CURRENT AND ONE FORMER, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER.
I'M SURE YOU ALL REMEMBER AND RECOGNIZE DON PHILLIPS, UH, BACK HERE, FORMER COMMISSIONER FROM DISTRICT THREE, UH, DR.
PHILLIPS, HIS TERM AS THE DISTRICT THREE COMMISSIONER, UH, ENDED A YEAR AGO, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO PROPERLY, UH, RECOGNIZE HIM FOR HIS SERVICE.
YOU CAN SEE THE DATES, UH, OF HIS SERVICE ON THE COMMISSION, ON THE SCREEN UP THERE, BUT ACTUALLY HIS INTEREST AND INVOLVEMENT IN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN YORK COUNTY, IT GOES BACK A LOT FARTHER.
UH, IN FACT, IT SPANS SEVERAL DECADES LONG BEFORE HE JOINED THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
UH, HE WAS A FAMILIAR FACE AT BOTH COMMISSION AND BOARDS OF SUPERVISORS MEETINGS SPEAKING OUT ON VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS THAT CAME BEFORE THE COUNTY.
IN FACT, UH, I HAPPEN TO BE GOING THROUGH SOME OLD RECORDS ON COVENTRY THE OTHER DAY, AND THERE HE WAS IN THE 1987 BY A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES, UH, GIVING HIS, UH, OPINIONS ON THAT DEVELOPMENT.
UH, SO HE HAS BEEN ACTIVE AND INVOLVED FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, UH, AS BOTH A CITIZEN AND A COMMISSIONER, HE HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR MANAGED GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THAT DELICATE BALANCE AMONG PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, THE PUBLIC GOOD AND RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
THANK YOU, MR. CROSS, JOHN, IF YOU COULD PLEASE COME UP,
ARE WE ON CONGRATULATIONS? UM, I HAVE TO SAY, UH, I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION FOR ALMOST SIX YEARS AND WHEN I FIRST CAME ON THE COMMISSION, I SAT RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
AND WHEN YOU'RE SITTING TO, UH, DR.
PHILLIPS HERE NEXT TO HIM, AND YOU'RE HEARING ALL THE WISDOM THAT, THAT, UH, UH,
[00:05:01]
HE SPEAKING DURING THE MEETING, YOU'RE THINKING YOU'RE VERY INTIMIDATED.THE FORTUNATE THING WAS, IS THAT I WAS ON THE END BECAUSE I WAS NEW AND I GOT TO HEAR DON'S WISDOM BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO, UH, EXPRESS MY OPINION.
SO I GOT TO SAY YOU CHANGED A LOT OF, UH, OPINIONS THAT I HAD BY, UM, BY YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR WISDOM, YOUR KNOWLEDGE, DON, ALWAYS SPECIALIZED IN SAFETY.
THE ENVIRONMENT CLIMATE CHANGE, UH, WAS A REAL ADVOCATE FOR ALL THOSE SUBJECTS.
AND CONGRATULATIONS,
AND I WANT TO NOTE THAT I REALLY ENJOYED SERVING ON THE COMMISSION WITH MOST OF YOU AND, UH, THAT, UM, DISCUSSING AND DEBATING LAND USE ISSUES.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING YOU DO DO FOR THE COUNTY AND AS A, AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
I WANT TO THANK EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF US.
UH, AND WE HAVE MR. JOHN'S OUTGOING COMMISSIONER.
THIS IS HIS TERM EXPIRES, UH, AT THE END OR THE END OF THIS MONTH.
UH, MR. JOHNS HAS ACTUALLY SERVED TWO TOURS OF DUTY ON THE COMMISSION.
UH, FIRST FOR SIX YEARS IN THE NINETIES AS THE DISTRICT ONE OR DISTRICT TWO REPRESENTATIVE BACK THEN DISTRICT WHO ACTUALLY STRETCHED ALL THE WAY FROM THE UPPER COUNTY DOWN TO, UH, BETHEL MATTER.
UH, AND SO, AND THEN AGAIN, HE SERVED, HE HAD SERVED FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS AS THE DISTRICT ONE REPRESENTATIVE, ULTIMATELY SERVING A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 13 YEARS, WHICH IS CERTAINLY A RECORD IN THE 32 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN ALL TIME RECORD, BUT IT VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT IT, THAT IT IS.
UH, AND THAT INCLUDES TWO TERMS AS CHAIRMAN.
UH, HE ALSO SERVED ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW STEERING COMMITTEE BACK IN THE MID TO LATE NINETIES.
AND TODAY SERVES AS THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF OUR CURRENT, UH, COMP PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE FOR MUCH OF HIS TIME ON THE COMMISSION, PARTICULARLY HIS SECOND STINT, UH, MR. JOHNS WAS THE ONLY MEMBER FROM THE UPPER COUNTY AND HE HAS ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT PART, THAT, THAT PART OF THE COUNTY WAS WELL REPRESENTED THROUGH IT.
HE HAS MAINTAINED A LASER-LIKE FOCUS ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT AND ENSURING THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD.
WELL, THE STORY ABOUT, ABOUT MANI 25 YEARS AGO, I WAS WORKING HERE IN THE COUNTY IN 1995 AND, UH, MANI WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND, UH, NOT ONE TO LET ANYONE IGNORE THE, UH, INTEREST OF THE UPPER COUNTY.
WE WERE IN A COMP PLAN MEETING.
AND I REMEMBER ONE OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS, UH, WERE, WAS TRYING TO SWAY EVERYBODY'S OPINION TO APPROVE SOME ARE TO RECOMMEND A CERTAIN POLICY.
AND THAT INDIVIDUAL ASKED, UH, MANI SAID, MANI, I NEED YOUR HELP.
I NEED YOU TO SUPPORT ME MANI DIDN'T AGREE WITH THEM AND JUST STOOD UP AND SAID, NO, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SUPPORTING YOU, MAN.
AND BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOOD FOR THE UPPER COUNTY AND YOU'VE BEEN STEADFAST, UH, THE WHOLE TIME, UH, WHEN I CAME ON TO COMMISSION SIX YEARS AGO, UH, MY FIRST QUESTION WITH MR. CROSS WAS, I COULDN'T BELIEVE MANI WAS STILL ON A COMMISSION BECAUSE HE WAS THERE 25 YEARS AGO.
UH, OF COURSE I KNOW NOW THAT YOU HAD A LARGE GAP IN THERE BETWEEN ONE THING MANI ALWAYS DID ON THE COMMISSION, WHICH I APPRECIATED.
AND I THINK OUR FELLOW COMMISSIONERS UNDERSTAND THIS, ALWAYS WENT TO VISIT, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM.
TALK TO NEIGHBORS, TALK TO PEOPLE IN A STORE, REALLY GOT A COMPLETE BACKGROUND FROM A CITIZEN POINT OF VIEW, THEN BROUGHT THOSE VIEWS TO
[00:10:01]
THE COMMISSION AND SHARED THEM WITH US THE PUBLIC, AND IT MADE A DIFFERENCE AND MANI, WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING WHEN I CAME ON HERE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU MY, MY REASON FOR SERVING WAS FOR LOVE OF THIS COUNTY.
AND I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER THAN GET INVOLVED, IT'S EASY TO COMPLAIN.
AND THAT WAS MY MOTIVATION TO COME ON BOARD.
MY REGRET IS THAT THERE IS STILL MORE TO DO.
SO I FEEL THAT THAT'S THE PART THAT SADDENS ME A LITTLE BIT, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A TIME TO HOLD AND IT'S TIME TO FOLD.
I APPRECIATE THE BOARD GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CITIZENS, UH, WHO BELIEVED IN ME AND SOME OF THOSE WHO, WHO DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, THAT GOES WITH THE TERRITORY.
YOU GOTTA STAY IN THE KITCHEN, EVEN WHEN IT'S HOT.
AND SO I CALLED THAT MY SUMMER VACATION.
SOME SOMETIMES, UH, I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MATH.
SO, UH, IF YOU DON'T THINK I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, I'LL SAY THAT I WAS 25 WHEN I CAME HERE, BUT I TOLD HIM THAT'S THE STORY ON THAT, BUT LISTEN, IT'S BEEN GOOD.
UM, I'M STILL GOING TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS.
I'LL STILL BE ACTIVE, BUT, UH, THE BOARD, UH, THEIR CONFIDENCE IN ME, MY TEAM MEMBERS, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, WHO, WHO, WHO PREPARES US FOR THESE MEETINGS, THEY HAVE BEEN A PART OF MY SUCCESS.
AND OF COURSE, GOD AND MY PARENTS, UH, WHO INSTILLED THE VALUES THAT I HAVE TODAY.
SO LISTEN, NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU JUST WON'T SEE ME THIS MEETING.
IF WE DO SEE ME IN HERE, JUST TAP ME ON HIS SHOULDER WITH MY MONEY.
YOU'RE NOT REALLY HERE ANYMORE.
AND IT'S EVEN GOING TO BE BETTER.
I'M SURE WITH THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE AND THE NEW LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE COMING IN, GOD BLESS YOUR COUNTY.
AND JUST LAST YEAR ON BEHALF OF THE STAFF, I JUST WANT TO SAY TO BOTH MR. JOHNS, DR.
PHILLIPS, HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED SERVING OVER TWO AND HOW MUCH WE MISSED HAVING YOU ON THE COMMISSION AND HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO MISS HAVING YOU ON THE COMMISSION.
SO THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EXCELLENT OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF YORK COUNTY.
THANK YOU, MR. CROSS, MR. PHILLIPS.
CONGRATULATIONS, MR. JOHNS, CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT MOVES US TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FIVE, WHICH IS OUR CITIZENS COMMENTS.
I WANT TO, UH, EXPRESS THAT THESE ARE CITIZEN COMMENT PERIOD FOR ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR AGENDA.
IF YOU CAME TONIGHT JUST TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION ABOUT, UH, AN UNRELATED MATTER, NOW'S YOUR TIME.
ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION, HEARING NON WE'LL MOVE
[Application No. UP-967-21, Magruder/Tabb Animal Hospital]
TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING IS APPLICATION NUMBER
WELL, THIS IS A REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A VETERINARY HOSPITAL, UH, WITHOUT OUTSIDE RUNS AT 35 25 HAMPTON HIGHWAY.
UM, THAT'S SHOWN HERE IN THE RED.
UM, THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY IS LIMITED BUSINESS.
YOU'LL SEE THAT PINK AREA, UM, FOR THIS PROPERTY AND THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE WEST, UM, IS LIMITED BUSINESS.
UH, THE SURROUNDING ZONING ON THE WEST NORTH AND EAST SIDE IS ALL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR YORK DOWNS.
AND THEN ACROSS HAMPTON HIGHWAY, WE HAVE, UM, THE, THE LIGHTER BROWN, WHICH IS THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL, AND THEN THE DARKER BROWN, WHICH IS OUR RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
AND I WILL NOTE THAT THE CURRENT ANIMAL HOSPITAL IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS HAMPTON HIGHWAY FROM THIS LOCATION.
UM, UH, THIS IS AN AERIAL, UM, SHOWING THE SURROUNDING USES AND THE, UH, USES, UH, AS I SAID, SHORT AND YORKSHIRE DOWNS.
UH, THIS IS THE APARTMENT COMPLEX HERE, UM, TO THE NORTH IS, UH, THE DOMINION POWER LINE EASEMENT.
UH, THERE'S ALSO A RETENTION POND HERE AND THERE'S A WALKING PATH THAT GOES ALONG THIS AREA THAT COMES AND LEADS OVER HERE INTO THIS, UH, RECREATION AREA, UM, TO THE EAST ARE, UH, FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALONG ASCOT DRIVE IN SALISBURY WAY, MELBOURNE COURT, AND THEN ACROSS HAMPTON HIGHWAY IS, UH, A MOBILE HOME PARK.
[00:15:01]
AND THEN, AND ALSO THE DOCTOR'S HOSPITAL IS HERE AND THEN TO THE WEST IS ANOTHER MOBILE HOME PARK.UH, YOU WILL, I WILL NOTE THAT, THAT IT WAS ZONED LIMITED BUSINESS, UH, BUT IT IS A NON-CONFORMING USE AND IT'S ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO STAY, UM, IN THAT AREA.
JUST, UH, JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK PICTURES, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN OVERALL VIEW OF IT.
YOU CAN SEE THE RETENTION POND BACK HERE IN THE BACK WITH THE LITTLE GRASSES THERE.
UM, AND THEN THE, UM, ACTIVITY TRAIL, THE MULTI-USE PATH HERE ALONG THE ROADWAY, UH, THIS IS LOOKING, UM, AND I WANTED TO SHOW THEM THE MOBILE HOME PARK THAT'S ADJACENT.
SO THIS IS THAT LIMITED BUSINESS ONCE.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE MOBILE HOMES, UH, ENTRY AND THE ENTRYWAY.
THERE, THERE IS ALSO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME HERE, WHICH IS, UM, IF I GO BACK ONE, LET ME SEE IF I CAN GO BACK ONE.
SO THAT DARKER AREA TO THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME JUST BARELY THROUGH THE TREES.
SO I, BUT I WONDERED IF WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU COULD SEE IT IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME HERE, UM, ALONG WITH THE, THE MOBILE HOME, UH, UNITS THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTY, UH, DR.
WALLACE HAS BEEN OPERATING FROM HIS LOCATION ON HAMPTON HIGHWAY SINCE AROUND 1989.
UM, AND HE WISHES TO BUILD A LARGER FACILITY ACROSS THE ROAD.
THIS IS HIS EXISTING, UM, STRUCTURE NOW, UM, THE NEW BUILDING WOULD ALLOW HIM TO CON WOULD ALLOW HIM TO ADD MORE STAFF, UM, BUT ALSO CONTINUE THE THINGS HE ALREADY OFFERS LIKE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SERVICES AND LIMITED BOARDING ACTIVITY.
UH, HIS CURRENT, UM, OPERATION IS FROM 7:00 AM TO 6:00 PM ON MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND 8:00 AM TO 12:00 PM ON SATURDAY.
UH, THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY, BUT THEY DO HAVE A SMALL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT COME TO THE SITE FOR THE BOARDING ACTIVITIES.
SO THEY WILL HAVE EMPLOYEES ONSITE DURING, UM, SUNDAY HOURS.
UH, THIS IS THE PLAN THAT THEY SUBMITTED.
IT IS, IT DOES SHOW ABOUT A 7,200 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, UH, PARKING ALONGSIDE THE BUILDING, PARKING OUT FRONT, UH, CIRCULAR ENTRYWAY.
AND THEN TO THE BACK, THEY ARE SHOWING AN EXERCISE YARD.
UH, THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE CURRENT EXERCISE YARD.
SO WHILE WE WERE OUT THERE, WE, WE WENT AROUND AND TOOK SOME PICTURES JUST TO, YOU COULD SEE, UH, THEY RUN A VERY CLEAN OPERATION.
UH, THERE'S NOTHING BACK THERE.
UH, THIS IS A USED PROPOSED WITHOUT OUTSIDE RUNS, BUT IT DOES HAVE AN EXERCISE YARD.
SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUNS AND AN EXERCISE YARD RUNS ARE USUALLY CHAIN-LINK AREAS WHERE THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUILDING.
THE ANIMALS RELEASED CAN RUN OUT THERE WITHOUT ANY KIND OF SUPERVISION.
UH, THE EXERCISE YARDS, UH, WOULD REQUIRE SUPERVISION.
SO THEY WOULD HAVE STAFF OUT THERE AT ALL TIMES MONITORING ANY ANIMALS THAT ARE OUT THERE CLEANING UP AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UH, WE DO, UH, TREAT IT A BIT DIFFERENTLY WITH THIS, UH, BECAUSE IT IS SUPERVISED, UM, AND THE EMPLOYEES ARE THERE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL WHAT GOES ON ONLY ORDINANCE DOES REQUIRE, UH, THESE KINDS OF USES TO HAVE ADEQUATE SOUNDPROOFING AND TO BE CONSTRUCTED SO THAT THERE ARE NO EMISSIONS OF ODORS OR NOISE.
UM, SPECIFICALLY WHENEVER IT'S WITHIN 200 FEET OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE.
AND AS I SHOWED YOU, THIS IS PRETTY MUCH SURROUNDED BY PD.
SO IT DOES FALL WITHIN THAT 200 FEET.
UH, THE EXERCISE YARD MAY HAVE TO MOVE A LITTLE FURTHER BACK AND OVER SOMEWHAT JUST DEPENDING ON HOW, UM, THAT 200 FEET PLAYS IN THERE.
UH, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A SKETCH PLAN FOR THE OVERALL USE.
UH, BUT THE BUILDING WILL HAVE TO BE SOUNDPROOFED.
UM, THEY WILL HAVE TO, UH, BRING FORWARD A WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN.
THAT'LL SHOW HOW THEY PLAN TO DO WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO WITH ANY OUTSIDE, UH, FECES THAT ARE LEFT, CLEAN UP THINGS OF THAT NATURE SO THAT THEY CAN MAINTAIN, UM, UH, A, UM, AN AREA THAT IS NOT EMITTING ODOR OR NOISE, BUT W W WE DID VISIT HIS CURRENT LOCATION.
AS I SAID, I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE AND WE DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T JEANNIE.
AND I WERE THERE NEITHER ONE OF US SMELLED ANYTHING OR EVEN SAW ANYTHING ON THE PROPERTY.
SO IT LOOKED VERY, VERY, WELL-MADE MAINTAINED, UH, JUST A LITTLE QUICK, UH, UNDERSTANDING OF LIMITED BUSINESS CAUSE WE DON'T SEE IT VERY OFTEN.
UH, THE LIMITED BUSINESS IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS ENVISIONED WHERE IT'S, UH, ACTIVITIES ARE OCCURRING ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, UH, LIMITED AND PACS FOR NOISE, LIGHT, AND ACTIVITY, AND CAN BE COMPATIBLE WITH SURROUNDING USES.
NOW THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO HAS A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
UM, AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, HAPPENS WITH THAT AND INCURRING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS IS A LIMITATION ON DAYS AND, UH, CUSTOMER VISITATION.
WALLACE HAD ALREADY HAS A, A SET SCHEDULE.
WE DID CONDITION IT FOR THAT SCHEDULE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, UH, DURING THE TIME PERIODS AND THEN SATURDAY.
UH, BUT WE DID LIMIT IT TO JUST CUSTOMER VISITATION AND NOT EMPLOYEES BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE'LL BE EMPLOYEES THERE ON THE, ON SUNDAY TO BE ABLE MAKE SURE THE ANIMALS ARE TAKEN CARE OF.
[00:20:02]
I KIND OF OVERLAYED THE PLAN ON THE AERIAL, SO YOU COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT, IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT DOES GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THINGS ARE SITUATED ON THE PROPERTY.UH, ONE OF THE BIG PIECES THAT WITH WHEN YOU'RE, UM, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS, WHERE HERE YOU HAVE A BUSINESS CLASS FEE CATION UP AGAINST A RESIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION, UH, THERE'S A REQUIRED TRANSITIONAL BUFFER IN THOSE TIMES, UM, BETWEEN LB AND PD IS REQUIRES A 25, 25 FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER AREA.
SO, UH, HE WILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER ALONG ASCOT DRIVE THE BACK PROPERTY LINE AND THIS PROPERTY LINE ON THIS SIDE, UM, AND THAT ACROSS, UH, THERE IS A GREENBELT BUFFER HERE ON, UM, HAMPTON HIGHWAY, WHICH REQUIRES A 35 FOOT UNDISTURBED VEGETATIVE BUFFER.
SO WHAT HE HAS OUT THERE WILL HAVE TO REMAIN, UH, HE IS ALLOWED TO CLEAN IT UP SOME MAYBE, AND SOME ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS IN THERE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UH, THE ONE THING WE LOOKED AT WHEN WE SAW THIS PLAN WAS EVEN THOUGH IT'S LIMITED BUSINESS TO THE WEST AND THAT'S A MOBILE HOME PARK, UH, WE DID FEEL WE WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FOR THAT RESIDENTIAL USE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REQUIRED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WHEN YOU HAVE LB AGAINST LB, THEY'RE THE SAME KIND OF ZONING, SO YOU DON'T REALLY NEED IT, BUT WE HAVE PROPOSED A CONDITION TO PUT A, A TYPE 25 FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE ALSO TO HELP BUFFER AND SCREEN FOR THAT USE.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PARKING LOT IS SHOWN VERY CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
SO WE ARE, UH, WE DID PUT A CONDITION IN THERE TO PUT A SIX FOOT BOARD ONBOARD PRIVACY FENCE TO RUN ALONG THAT PARKING LOT.
SO THAT LIGHTS AND STUFF WOULDN'T SHINE.
UM, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WERE THERE AT SIX O'CLOCK ON A WINTER DAY, UH, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO, UH, WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FOR THAT ADJACENT PROPERTY.
THE, UM, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS OUR REGIONAL BIKEWAY MAP AND THESE YELLOW LINES ARE OUR BIKEWAYS.
UH, THEY ARE THE MULTI-USE PATHS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS APPROVED FOR THEM.
UH, SO IT DOES SHOW HAMPTON HIGHWAY HAVING A, UM, A MULTI-USE PATH ALONG IT.
UM, WE HAVE, UH, PUT A CONDITION IN THERE THAT, UH, DR.
WALLACE WOULD GRANT US OR THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD GRANT S A 20 FOOT EASEMENT ALONG HAMPTON HIGHWAY.
SO IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THAT BIKE LANE IS PUT IN, WE'LL HAVE THE SPACE TO START MAKING THOSE CONNECTIONS.
ONE, ONCE THEY GO THROUGH, I SHOWED YOU THE, UM, THE PATH THAT'S IN TO THE NORTH BACK THERE IN THE DOMINION POWER LINE, UM, THAT IS SHOWN AS A MULTI-USE PATH AND WHERE THE COUNTY IS WORKING NOW TO KIND OF MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT LARGER OF A PATH AND MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS.
AND SO ANOTHER PIECE THAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS MAKE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THOSE TWO, UM, SO THE EXISTING AND THEN THE FUTURE.
SO WE HAVE ALSO, UM, ASKED FOR A CONDITION OF APPROVAL, BE PLACED IN THE RESOLUTION THAT WOULD REQUIRE A 20 FOOT EASEMENT ALONG ASCOT DRIVE THAT WE CAN MAKE THAT FUTURE CONNECTION, UM, UH, DOWN THE ROAD.
NOW THAT DOES IMPACT THE TWENTY-FIVE FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER ON ASCOT DRIVE.
UH, BUT WE HAVE DONE THAT IN OTHER, OTHER PLACES.
SO WE WOULD HAVE 20 FEET OF EASEMENT, BUT THEN HE STILL HAS FIVE FEET WHERE HE CAN PUT HIS 25 FOOT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER IN.
AND WE'VE DONE THAT BEFORE WHERE YOU HAVE A SMALLER AREA, BUT YOU JUST INCREASE YOUR SCREENING IN THOSE AREA WITH PLANTINGS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
UM, AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE CONDITIONS.
UH, THIS IS A VERY LOW IMPACT TRAFFIC GENERATOR, UH, 27 TRIPS IN THE MORNING, 25 IN THE EVENING, ASCOT DRIVE HANDLES ABOUT 1200 TRIPS A DAY, AND THERE IS NO, UM, DIRECT ACCESS ON HAMPTON HIGHWAY.
IT IS OFF ASCOT DRIVE THROUGH THOSE TWO ENTRANCES THAT HE WAS SHOWING ON HIS PLAN.
UH, PARKING REQUIREMENTS PLAN IS SHOWING ABOUT 41 BASIS RIGHT NOW.
UH, THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 350 SQUARE FEET, UH, SUBTRACTING OUT ANY KENNEL SPACE AND THEN ADDING A SPACE FOR EVERY EXAM ROOM.
SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A FLOOR PLAN, WE CAN JUST KIND OF BASED OUR CALCULATION ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING.
UM, SO WE APPROXIMATED ABOUT 20 TO 22 SPACES.
SO HE'S OVER PARKED A LITTLE BIT RIGHT NOW.
SO HE MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT HIS PLAN WANTS TO BE.
PLUS WE HAD ADDED THAT TRANSITIONAL BUFFER ON THE WESTERN SIDE, SO HE MAY HAVE TO MOVE HIS PARKING A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UM, THAT ALL THAT KIND OF THINGS CAN BE FIGURED OUT DURING SITE PLAN REVIEW, UM, IF, IF, IF IT'S APPROVED AND MOVES FORWARD TO THEM.
SO, UM, THE, UH, THE STAFF BELIEVES THE LIMITED BUSINESS AREA, AND THIS IS FOR LOW IMPACT COMMERCIAL USES OFFICES.
I DON'T THINK WE COULD FIND A, A MORE LOWER IMPACT USE.
UH, THERE ARE A LOT OF BI-RITE LB USES THAT COULD GO IN THERE, UH, RETAIL STRIP WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF PERSONAL SERVICES THAT COULD CAUSE MORE TRAFFIC AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
[00:25:01]
WITH THE, WITH THE TRANSITIONAL BUFFERS BEING IN THERE, UM, WITH THE, UM, THE PLAN AS IT SHOWN, UH, THAT THIS WILL BE A VERY LOW IMPACT USE ON THE LIMITED BUSINESS PROPERTY.AND SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS, AND I WILL NOTE IN THE RESOLUTION, UH, NUMBER SEVEN, MR. TITUS BROUGHT THIS UP TO ME, UH, IS, UH, HELD OVER A NUMBER IN THERE.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO REVISE THAT TO, FOR THIS SPECIFIC USE RATHER THAN A HOME OCCUPATION.
SO, UH, WE WOULD GET ASKED THAT YOU, UH, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THEM REMOVE APPROVAL OF THIS, THAT YOU DO THAT THROUGH PC 21 DASH 11 ARE TO REVISE THAT SEVEN WOODS WOULD BE FOR THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS RATHER THAN A HOME OCCUPATION.
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON, ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. ANDERSON ABOUT THIS CASE DOWN HERE? NO QUESTIONS.
WITH THAT, WE'LL OPEN UP TO PUBLIC HEARING.
UM, DO I HAVE, I DO HAVE SOMEBODY SIGNED UP.
JOSEPH WALLACE, 1 56 BREEZY POINT DRIVE.
HI, UH, THE GENTLEMEN PRETTY MUCH COVERED EVERYTHING.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT ANY, ANY ANSWERS THAT YOU MAY NEED.
YOU, UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY UNTIL I GOT APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY IT'S A BIT WHERE IT IS.
AND CERTAINLY THERE'S A LOT OF PLANNING TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF.
AGAIN, I'VE BEEN IN THE COUNTY SINCE 1966.
MY GRANDMOTHER OWNED THE FARM, WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE VILLAS OF SHADY BANKS.
I WAS TELLING THE YOUNG LADY ON THE WAY IN THAT, RIGHT AROUND THE DEPRESSION THAT HER AND HER HUSBAND WERE OFFERED TO BUY ALL OF YORKSHIRE DOWNS FOR 500 BUCKS.
UH, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE $50, MUCH LESS 500.
SO, UH, THAT'S I WAS, I WAS RAISED THERE, BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE COUNTY CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.
UH, YOU MAY FIND THIS FUNNY, UH, I GREW UP ACROSS THE STREET FROM TAB MIDDLE.
MY DAD USED TO LET ME AND MY BROTHER WHEN WE WERE ABOUT 12 DRIVE TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE AND PICK HER UP AND BRING HER HOME, UH, BECAUSE THERE WAS ABOUT TWO OR THREE COUNTY COPS, AND I THINK WE KNEW ALL OF THEM.
AND, UH, SO I HAVE SEEN THE COUNTY CHANGED DRAMATICALLY, AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO TO, TO CONTROL AND MONITOR THAT MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, OKAY.
THE TWO THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE SPEECH BEFORE MY STAFF DO COME IN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS WELL, THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED FOR THOSE ANIMALS THAT ARE EITHER HOSPITALIZED FOR POST-SURGICAL NEEDS, MEDICAL NEEDS OR BOARDING EVERYBODY THAT IS IN AND OUT.
WE DO HAVE STAFF THAT GO, I'M PRETTY PARTICULAR ABOUT HOW IT SMELLS, HOW IT APPEARS.
WE DO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CLEAN UP AS, AS FREQUENTLY IN THE OFTEN AS WE CAN.
UH, AS FAR AS THE REASON FOR THE MOVE, JUST AN ACCOMMODATION TO THE GROWTH OF THE PRACTICE, UH, IT'S BASICALLY WHERE I'M AT.
SO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER, UH, AND BE HAPPY TO BE HAPPY TO TRY QUESTIONS DOWN HERE, MANY QUESTIONS, UH, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR CURRENT LOCATION? NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT AT THIS POINT, BUT MY, AS FAR AS WHEN I'M RUNNING AROUND IN THE BRAIN IS TO MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO A MULTI-USE MULTIFAMILY.
AND MAYBE BECAUSE IT IT'S A, IT'S KIND OF A TWO PART BUILDING AS I BUILT A SMALL PRACTICE TO BEGIN WITH AND THEN ADDED ON AND POSSIBLY PUT A DIVIDER IN THERE AND MAYBE MAKE IT A DUPLEX.
I THINK IT'S, I THINK IT WAS ZONED MULTI-FAMILY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, BUT AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ANY CURRENT THOUGHTS ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
ALL IS THAT'S ALL UP IN THE AIR.
UM, FIRST, UM, THE OUTSIDE YARD, WHICH I WOULD IMAGINE IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT IN THE AREA THAT WOULD BE ONE OF YOUR MAIN CONCERNS, I WOULD THINK, CAUSE THE NOISE, THE POTENTIAL FOR NOISE, RIGHT? UH, WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS, YOUR HOURS, YOU FIVE.
AND WHAT WAS YOUR, HOW EARLY DO YOU OPEN? WE OPENED AT SEVEN.
MOST OF THE TIME I'VE KILLED STAFF.
WE'LL GET THERE TO WALK AND FEED AND WATER DOGS, AND THEY'RE SHIFTING THEM IN AND OUT TO USE THE BATHROOM,
[00:30:01]
BRING THEM BACK YOUNG.UH, THEY GET IN SOMEWHERE ABOUT SIX TO SEVEN AND IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY WE HAVE THERE.
AND THEN WE'RE NORMALLY OUT BY SIX, MY CLOTHES USUALLY THEY'RE THERE.
OCCASIONALLY I WILL BE UP THERE AT NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
IF I HAVE A PATIENT WHO'S IN THE HOSPITAL WHO NEEDS ASSISTANCE LATE IN THE EVENING, YOU MAY, YOU MAY FIND ME WALKING AROUND, OUTSIDE WITH ONE.
BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING AFTER FIVE OR SIX, THERE'S NO ANIMALS OUTSIDE RUNNING AROUND IN THE, IN THE FENCE DINNER.
AND NOBODY'S OUT THERE AND LESS STAFF IS THERE.
UH, AND, UH, I DON'T WANT TO EXTEND IT OUT INTO, YOU KNOW, EIGHT, NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM OUR COMMISSIONERS SEEING NONE.
UM, MR. ANDERSON, WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE SIGNED UP.
ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK FOR THIS APPLICATION? UH, MY NAME IS JOHN STEWART.
MR. STEWART, STATE YOUR FULL NAME, ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? JOHN EUGENE, CHARLES STEWART.
UH, ONE-ON-ONE PONSONBY DRIVE IN YORKTOWN.
UM, I HAVE, UH, I COME UP, UH, IN FRONT OF YOU IN TWO PARTS FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF YORKSHIRE DOWNS MASTERS ASSOCIATION.
UM, AND SECONDLY, UH, MY PETS ARE PATIENTS OF DR.
SO, UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY KIND OF EXCITED PERSONALLY TO HAVE DR.
WALLACE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD, BECAUSE IT'S MUCH MORE CONVENIENT.
UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS, I GUESS, OF REALLY, UH, DR.
UM, WHEN THE, UM, THE BOARD FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND, YOU KNOW, UH, WE AGREE WITH MR. ANDERSON, AS FAR AS WHAT COULD GO INTO THIS PIECE OF LAND.
WE AGREE THAT, UH, THE VETERINARY CLINIC IS PROBABLY THE BEST OF ANY OPTIONS.
AND SO, UM, WE DON'T HAVE, UH, AN ISSUE AT LEAST NONE WAS REFLECTED TO ME FROM THE REST OF MY BOARD.
UM, THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DUMPSTER PAD AND, UM, ABOUT THE RUN AREA AND WHETHER OR NOT THOSE WOULD BE VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD OR HOW THAT WOULD BE LAID OUT.
BUT THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WE COULD WORK DIRECTLY WITH DR.
UM, THOSE WERE REALLY THE ONLY, THE ONLY ISSUES.
THERE WAS A QUESTION, UH, WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC, BUT THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED IN THE, UH, IN THE REPORT.
SO, UM, FROM PERSONAL STANDPOINT, AS A RESIDENT OF YORKSHIRE DOWNS, I'M EXCITED TO HAVE DR.
WALLACE GOT MUCH CLOSER TO US.
UM, AND AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, UM, I HAVE NOT BEEN, UH, PROVIDED WITH ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WITH, UH, WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO, UH, TO THE PANEL.
THANK YOU, MR. STEWART, ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. STEWART, MR. STEWART.
ANYBODY ELSE? WISH TO SPEAK MR. ANDERSON, TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON, APPRECIATE THAT.
THE PUBLIC HEARING BOARD IS THE MATTERS BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
ANY THOUGHTS? THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
ANY IN THIS END, ANY HARD FEELINGS, I JUST LOVE THE IDEA THAT IT'S SO, UM, CLEAN.
IT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT USE FOR SAYING YES.
WELL, WELL PLANNED OUT, UH, TH THE TRANSITIONAL BUFFERS SCREENING DELIGHTING THE HOURS, AND THEN THE COMMUNICATION, UH, WITH THE ADJACENT RESIDENCES IN THE COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.
SO IT'S, IT'S GOOD APPLICATION.
UM, MR. STEWART WAS CORRECT OF ALL THE USES THAT COULD GO THERE BY A RIGHT, WITHOUT A HEARING.
UH, THIS IS PROBABLY THE LEAST INTENSE LAND USE OPTION AVAILABLE.
UH, PLUS THERE'S OVERSIGHT FROM THE COUNTY.
THERE IS CONDITIONS THAT ARE ATTACHED THAT WILL REGULATE THE USE TO MAKE SURE IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE, WITH THE RESIDENTS, UH, WITH ADEQUATE BUFFER SHIELDED, UH, ARE SHIELDING THE, THE APPROPRIATE AREAS FROM THE, FROM THE HOUSES.
UM, AND SO I'M IN FAVOR OF IT.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FROM ONE OF OUR COMMISSIONERS.
I'LL MOVE TO A FORWARD OUR 21 DASH 11 R UH, WITH THE
[00:35:01]
EXCEPTION OR WITH AN ALTERATION FOR NUMBER SEVEN, TO CORRECT THE HOME OCCUPATION AND A MOTION ON THE TABLE, UH, FOR MR. CRINER TO MOVE THE, UH, UM, THE RESOLUTION REVISED RESOLUTION.MR. ANDERSON, PLEASE CALL THE ROW MOTION BY MR. PRIMERS TO ADOPT PC 21 DASH 11 ARE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO AUTHORIZE A VETERINARY HOSPITAL AT 35 25 HAMPTON HIGHWAY, MR. TITUS.
AND MR. CROSS, THIS GOES BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, WHEN THIS WILL LIKELY BE CONSIDERED EDITS JULY 20TH, MEETING JULY 20TH, DR.
MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, OLD BUSINESS.
DON'T HEAR ANY OLD BUSINESS, NEW BUSINESS, NO NEW BUSINESS.
[9. Staff Reports/Recent Actions by the Board of Supervisors]
JEN ITEM NUMBER NINE, STAFF REPORTS, RECENT ACTIONS BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.UH, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, I JUST PASSED OUT THE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY TO REPORT IT'S MAY 18TH MEETING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONSIDERED TWO APPLICATIONS.
UH, ONE WAS THE, UH, REDSIN COMPANIES REZONING ON HAMPTON HIGHWAY FROM OUR 22 GB, WHICH WAS DENIED.
AND THE OTHER IS, WAS THE, A USE PERMIT FOR A TOURIST HOME ON LAFAYETTE ROAD, WHICH WAS APPROVED.
UH, NEXT WEEK AT ITS JUNE 15TH MEETING.
THERE WERE THREE APPLICATIONS ON THE BOARD'S AGENDA.
ONE IS A USE PERMIT FOR THE CHESTER'S CONVENIENCE STORE EXPANSION ON ROUTE 17, THE, UH, TRIPLE FEATURE ASSOCIATES APPLICATION.
