UH, SOME OF THE PLANNED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE FOR NEXT QUARTER, UM, VILLA WAY DITCHING, OLD LAKESIDE DRIVE, DITCHING, UH, SHEFFIELD AND EAST BRISTOL.
UH, DITCHING, UH, WE HAVE TREE TRIMMING ON ROUTE 17 FROM THE COLEMAN BRIDGE TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
UH, MATTHEW STREET AND ROUTE 17 WE'RE DITCHING PULLING SHOULDERS AND TREE TRIMMING.
SO IT'S THREE THINGS GOING ON THERE.
UM, 1 0 7 JONE PLACE, UH, TREE TRIMMING AND DITCHING THE OUTFALL, UH, BAPTIST ROAD AND CHURCH ROAD.
WASHOUT REPAIR, UH, SPRINGFIELD ROAD EDGE PAVING.
UH, WE ALSO HAVE THE, UH, ROADWAY SWEEPING.
AND WE ALSO ARE PARTNERING WITH C, PARTNERING WITH CSX, UH, TO REPAIR THE CROSSINGS OF OLD YORK, HAMPTON AND WOLF TRAP ROAD.
SO, UM, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CSX FOR A BIT NOW, TRYING TO GET, UH, TO GET THE, UH, CROSSINGS, UH, REDONE AT THOSE TWO, ENTER AT THOSE TWO ROUTES, RIGHT? UH, WE'VE, WE ARE GOING TO PERFORM ALL OF THE TRAFFIC CONTROL AND DETOURS AND ALL FOR THAT.
THEY'RE GONNA COME IN WITH THEIR CONTRACTOR AND DO THE, UH, CROSSING REPLACEMENT.
UH, THEY ARE SCHEDULED FOR JUNE THE 24TH AND JUNE THE 25TH.
GREAT NEWS TWO, WHAT ARE THE TWO CROSSINGS? O YORK, EXCUSE ME, O YORK, HAMPTON AND WOLF TRAPP.
OKAY, YOU SAID JUNE 14TH, JUNE 24TH, AND JUNE 25TH WITH 26TH BEING A RAIN DATE.
SO IT'S A TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY RAIN DATE ON A THURSDAY.
UH, THE ROAD WILL BE CLOSED DURING THIS, UH, THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE COMPLETE, UH, CROSSING OUT.
UM, BUT WE WILL BE DOING DETOURING, UM, DETOURING PLACE, YOU KNOW, AROUND, AROUND THOSE CROSSINGS.
UM, I CAN'T TELL YOU, WE STILL HAVE A SIT DOWN
UH, WE ALSO WILL SHARE A PRESS RELEASE WITH THE COUNTY ONCE WE HAVE WHICH CROSSING ON WHICH DAY AND DETOUR ROUTES, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
UM, SOME VDOT ADMINISTERED PROJECTS.
WE DID, UH, COMPLETE A ROUTE 180 9 WESTBOUND SLOPE STABILIZATION PROJECT THAT WAS UP THERE AROUND LODGE ROAD, UH, AND ROUTE 1 43.
UM, THAT WAS COMPLETED IN EARLY APRIL.
UH, WE DID THE A DA RAMP REPLACEMENT THERE AT, UH, 17 INTERSECTION WITH FORT HUSTIS AND, UH, YORKTOWN, UH, ONCALL GUARDRAIL REPAIR.
THE CONTRACTOR HAS COMPLETED 19 OF 19 HITS, SO THEY'VE CAUGHT UP THERE.
UM, BUT THAT IS A MOVING TARGET AS I SPEAK.
UM,
SO, UH, BUT THAT
UM, THE ROUTE 1 71, RIGHT TURN LANE
[00:40:01]
EXTENSION THAT IS ON THE KILLING CREEK SIDE FROM, UH, ON VICTORY BOULEVARD, UH, THAT IS JUST STARTING, UM, CONSTRUCTION.AND IT'LL BE COMPLETED, UH, LATE THIS SUMMER OF 2025.
UM, FOR THAT END, WE'RE ALSO ARE STARTING CONSTRUCTION ON THE, UH, WELL, LET ME GET TO IT FIRST.
BUT WITH KE PROJECT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
UM, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED AUGUST OF 2027.
UH, 1 34 BRIDGE REHAB OVER 17 MM-HMM
UM, THAT IS TO START OCTOBER OF 2025.
UM, WITH A COMPLETION IN SEPTEMBER OF 2026.
UH, AND THEN WE HAVE THE COLONIAL PARKWAY BRIDGE.
UM, THAT'S NOT MY PROJECT, BUT WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH THEM A LITTLE BIT FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL OR TRAFFIC LIMITATIONS OPERATIONS ON 17.
THEY JUST POURED THE DECK ON THE 16TH.
UM, SO THAT'S MOVING ALONG AS WELL.
WE HAVE A LOT OF ASPHALT GOING ON.
IF YOU WALK THE STREETS AROUND YORKTOWN, YOU'LL SEE, UH, OUR CONTRACTOR'S BEEN WORKING HARD TO, UH, TO, TO TRY TO GET ALL THE ROADS AROUND YORKTOWN PAVED, UH, IT WENT DOWN, IT, IT GOES DOWN DARK, UM, BUT IT WILL, AS IT WEARS TURN BROWN, SO IT WILL BE A BROWNSTONE TYPE ASPHALT, UH, AROUND YORKTOWN.
UM, WHAT THEY CANNOT GET COMPLETE BY FRIDAY BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY.
UH, THE CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER LABOR DAY, SO THERE WILL BE NO PAVING, UH, IN THE YORKTOWN AREA BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND LABOR DAY.
SO, UM, THEY'RE WORKING HARD TO COMPLETE AS MUCH AS THEY CAN GET COMPLETED ABOUT ANYTHING THAT THEY DO NOT COMPLETE, THEY'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER LABOR DAY FOUR.
UM, WE ARE NEXT WEEK, NEXT WEEK, WE ARE ACTUALLY STARTING THIS WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEK WE ARE DOING, UM, DARE ROAD, UH, WITH A LATEX OVERLAY.
AND THAT WILL, THERE WILL BE A SECTION THAT'S LEFT OUT WHEN YOU SEE IT.
AND THE REASON THAT IS HRSD HAD A PROJECT ON DARE ROAD, UM, AND BRIDGEMAN WAS A CONTRACTOR, THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA REPAVE THAT SECTION.
SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR ME TO, UM, LATEX IT IF THEY'RE GONNA COME IN AND MAIL AND PAVE IT.
SO, UH, THAT YOU'LL SEE A SECTION THAT'S LEFT OUT, BUT THAT'S WHY, UM, IT'LL ALL LOOK THE SAME ONCE, UH, ONCE IT'S COMPLETE.
WHEN AND WHEN DID YOU SAY THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? UH, IT'S SUPPOSED TO START THE END OF THIS WEEK, UM, AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
SO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, UM, BE LIKE TUESDAY, THEY'LL START BACK AGAIN, BUT THEY SUPPOSED TO, TO START THIS WEEK INTO CUTOFF ON FRIDAY.
AND WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT WITH IT NOW? YOU'RE NOT GONNA REPAVE IT, YOU'RE GOING TO NO, IT'S A SEALER.
IT'S LIKE A LATEX SEALER, UM, JUST TO SEAL THE EXISTING EXISTING ASPHALT.
IT'S, IT'S A GOOD ENOUGH CONDITION MM-HMM
UM, THAT IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE MILLED UP AND REPAID.
BUT IT'S AT A PERFECT POINT TO SEAL IT SO IT, IT LASTS LONGER AND IT'S GONNA GO FROM 17, IT GOES FROM, UM, POINT, WE MIGHT AS WELL SAY JACOB'S RUN.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE THIS, BUT ALL OF THE, ALL THE ROUTES AND THE TERMINI FOR THOSE ARE IN THERE AS WELL.
SO IF YOU, IF YOU LOOKING FOR THE SCHEDULES, IT HAS THE, HAS THE TERMINI FOR EACH SECTION OF ROADWAY AS WELL.
UM, 17 NORTHBOUND, I KNOW, UH,
THAT IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS MM-HMM
SO WHENEVER YOU'RE IN THERE MILLING, UM, AND TRYING TO PAVE BACK, YOU KNOW, IT ALWAYS CREATES SOME, SOME SLOWNESS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TO CROSS, UH, A CROSSING, CROSSING LANE.
UM, SO WE WERE HAVING SOME QUEUING ISSUES AT THE, WELL, WE HAVE QUEUING ISSUES WITHOUT PAVING, BUT PAVING IN THAT INTERSECTION MAKES IT EVEN WORSE.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS THOSE PROJECTS, WE HAVE SORT OF A, A, A MILLING TRAIN, UM, THAT COMES THROUGH AND MILLS UP THE EXISTING ASPHALT, UM, TAKES ABOUT TWO INCHES OF THE EXISTING ASPHALT OUT.
SO WHEN IT'S PAVED BACK, IT'S AT THE SAME ELEVATION OR SAME GRADE AS THE PAVEMENT THAT WAS THERE PRIOR TO IT.
UM, SO THAT LEAVES ABOUT A TWO INCH LIP BETWEEN EXISTING PAVEMENTS AND WHAT WAS MILLED OUT, WHICH CREATES SORT OF A BUMPING, UM, AS YOU'RE TAKING THOSE LEFTS OR GOING STRAIGHT ACROSS, UH, 17 FROM
[00:45:01]
VICTORY, UM, USUALLY WITHIN 48 HOURS THEY'RE BACK IN TO PAVE THAT.UM, THE PAVING TRAIN COMES IN AND FILLS UP WHAT'S MILLED OUT.
UM, BUT HOWEVER, SOMETIMES WEATHER OTHER THINGS, OTHER UNFORESEEN ITEMS, UM, SLOW THAT PROCESS UP.
SO IT SITS OUT THERE A LITTLE LONGER THAN WE, THAN WE LIKE FOR IT TOO.
BUT IT IS PAVED NOW AND, UH, SHOULD BE A SMOOTH TRANSITION THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION.
UM, OBVIOUSLY ALL THE ROADS HERE IN YORKTOWN ARE BEING PAVED.
UM, AND I HAVE PRETTY, I HAVE, I THINK GOOD NEWS.
I HAVE A ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A, IT'S A 14 MONTH SCHEDULE.
UM, SO WHAT THAT DOES, WE'RE GETTING READY TO ADVERTISE.
IT PROVIDES THE CONTRACTOR 14 MONTHS TO GET THE WORK DONE.
SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHETHER THE WORK WILL HAPPEN END OF THIS SUMMER OR BEGINNING OF NEXT SUMMER.
I, I REALLY CAN'T AT THIS POINT.
BUT SOME ROADS THAT I'VE GOTTEN IN IT ARE 6 21 GRAFTON DRIVE, UH, SIX 30 ARMORY LANE, UH, SIX 20 OLD WILLIAMSBURG ROAD, UH, SMITHFIELD, I MEAN SPRINGFIELD TERRACE, WHICH IS INCLUDES SPRINGFIELD DRIVE, OAKMONT CIRCLE, RIDGECREST CIRCLE, AND HICKORY HILLS DRIVE.
UM, I, I JUST TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT HOW WE PICK WHAT ROADS TO PAVE, UM, VDO T'S ANNUAL ROAD RESURFACING PROJECTS, PART OF AN OVERALL STATEWIDE PROGRAM IN WHICH THE ROADWAYS SELECTED FOR RESURFACE ARE BASED ON NEEDS AVAILABLE FUNDING.
UM, WE DISTRIBUTE FUNDS AND, AND TARGETS ARE THE INTERSTATE HIGH VOLUME PRIMARIES, LOW VOLUME PRIMARIES, HIGH VOLUME SECONDARIES, AND LOW VOLUME SECONDARIES.
IT'S FIVE DIFFERENT GROUPS, AND THAT'S FUNDINGS ACCORDINGLY.
UH, WE HAVE TARGETS FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE GROUPS OF DEFICIENCY RATINGS, SO WE DON'T WANT TO DROP BELOW A CERTAIN TARGET.
AND EACH ONE OF THOSE ARE SET ACCORDINGLY.
INTERSTATE CERTAINLY HAS A HIGHER TARGET, UM, HIGH VOLUME PRIMARIES.
UM, SO THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE YOUR HIGHEST VOLUMES OF TRAFFIC ON 'EM.
UM, THEY ARE USUALLY AROUND 82, 84.
UM, OUR SECONDARIES, WHICH ARE OUR SUBDIVISION ROADS, LOW VOLUME IS, IS, UH, IS ABOUT 70%.
UM, WE'VE HIT ALL OF OUR TARGETS.
70, 70% WHAT NON DEFICIENT PAVEMENTS.
SO I'LL GET A LITTLE BIT HOW WE DETERMINE WHAT, WHAT A DEFICIENT PAVEMENT IS.
UM, SO EVERY YEAR WE EVALUATE OUR PAVEMENTS.
UH, WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR THAT GOES OUT AND MEASURES LOAD DISTRESS RATING, NON LOAD DISTRESS RATING CRACKS, UM, UM, PUSHES, POTHOLES, ALL THOSE THINGS DETERMINE WHAT THE CONDITION OF THE PAVEMENT IS.
WE TAKE THAT DATA, UM, AND BE ABLE TO ASSIGN EACH ROUTE WITH A CONDITION INDEX, WHICH IS REALLY A, A GRADE, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU'RE GRADED ON HOW YOU, HOW YOUR, UH, HOW YOUR PAS ARE.
WELL THOSE GRADES ARE THE CONDITION INDEX FOR THAT SECTION OF ROADWAY.
UM, ANYTHING BELOW A ROUTE A 60 IS CONSIDERED DEFICIENT.
UM, ANYTHING ABOVE A 60 IS NON, NON DEFICIENT.
UM, SO WHEN WE SEAL PAVEMENTS OR REPAVE OR RECONSTRUCT, THAT ALL ADJUST THE CONDITION INDEX FOR EACH SECTION OR ROADWAY.
UM, SO KIND OF TO GO BACK HOW WE TARGET THIS, WE ARE, WE PRO WE ARE PROVIDED, UM, TARGETS FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
THEY ARE REALLY YOUR LATEX, YOUR SURFACE TREATMENT, YOUR CHIP SEAL, YOUR CAPE SEALS.
WE ALSO HAVE RESTORATIVE MAINTENANCE, WHICH IS YOUR MILLING FILLS OR YOUR JUST YOUR ASPHALT LESS TWO INCHES OR LESS.
AND THEN CONSTRUCTIVE, UH, MAINTENANCE, UM, WHICH IS YOUR CM, WHICH IS MORE OF YOUR RECLAMATIONS, YOUR RECONSTRUCTIONS GREATER THAN TWO INCHES.
UM, SOMETIMES WE'VE DONE SOME SUBDIVISIONS THAT WAY IN YORK COUNTY WHERE WE ACTUALLY MILL UP THE SUBBASE, PUT CEMENT TREATED, CEMENT TREATED SOILS IN AND, AND LIFT IT UP TWO LAYERS.
UH, YOU KNOW, THOSE, THEY ARE YOUR RECLAMATIONS.
THAT'S WHEN YOUR SUB BASE HAS BEEN IMPACTED ENOUGH THAT IT NEEDS RECONSTRUCTION.
WELL, WE RECEIVE TARGET NUMBERS FOR ALL OF THAT EVERY YEAR.
UM, SO WE BUILD OUR SCHEDULES BASED ON LOOKING AT THE CONDITION INDEXES.
UH, WE ALSO DO WHAT I CALL WINDSHIELD SURVEYS WHERE WE RIDE OUR ROADS AND DETERMINE WHAT ROADS WE NEED, UM, AND THEN LOOK AT THE CONDITION INDEX.
AND THEN WE ALSO LOOK AT HITTING
[00:50:01]
THE TARGETS THAT ARE PROVIDED FOR US, UM, ON PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, RESTORATIVE MAINTENANCE, AND FULL CONSTRUCTION.UM, FOUR, ALL FIVE OF THOSE SYSTEMS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
INTERSTATE, HIGH VOLUME, LOW VOLUME PRIMARIES AND SECONDARIES.
AND THEN ONCE WE KIND OF COME UP WITH ALL OF THAT, THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK AT, ALRIGHT, HOW ARE WE GONNA GET THE BEST PRICING? SO IF I HAVE FOUR ROADS IN THIS SUBDIVISION THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY THEY'RE IN THE FORTIES, THEY'RE, THEY'RE CONDITION INDEXES IN THE FORTIES, BUT I HAVE SOME THAT ARE AROUND 60, I'M CERTAINLY NOT GONNA GO IN AND JUST PAVE THOSE FOUR ROADS THAT ARE IN THE FORTIES.
SO WHAT WE WILL DO IS INCLUDE ALL THE ROADS IN THE SUBDIVISION AS PART OF THAT SCHEDULE SO I GET BETTER PRICING FOR MOBILIZATION CONTRACTOR BID PRICES BETTER.
THERE'S ALSO SITUATIONS WHERE MAYBE THE COLLECTOR ROAD, THE MAIN ROAD GOING INTO THE SUBDIVISION THAT RECEIVES MOST OF THE TRAFFIC IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE LOWEST CCI THE CONDITION INDEX OR SCORE.
I MAY JUST DO THAT IF THE REST OF THE ROADS IN THERE ARE SIXTIES, SEVENTIES, EIGHTIES, UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THAT IS WHAT RECEIVES MOST OF THE TRAFFIC.
BUT THAT'S IN SHORT SORT OF HOW WE DETERMINE.
AND THEN THE LAST THING IS THERE IS A DOLLAR AMOUNT SIGNED TO ALL OF THIS FUNDING.
UM, I HAVE TO KEEP EVERYTHING WITHIN THAT ALLOCATION THAT I RECEIVE FOR RESURFACING IN THAT GIVEN YEAR.
SO THAT'S SORT OF HOW WE COME UP WITH WHAT ROUTES ARE PAVED EVERY YEAR.
AND, UM, OUR MAINTENANCE THAT WE DO IS ALSO BUILT ALONG THAT AS WELL.
SO YOU'LL SEE US ON ROUTES THAT ARE COMING UP THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
YOU'LL SEE OUR PEOPLE OUT THERE MAKING SURE THAT THE CROSS DRAINS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, MAKE SURE THAT THE DITCHES WILL WORK THE SHOULDERS AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S GOOD AS WE START PAVING THE NEXT YEAR.
UM, TREE TRIMMING, ALL OF THAT KIND OF FOLLOWS OUR PAVING SCHEDULES AS WELL.
UM, SO YOU HAVE ONE COMPLETE STREET AT THE END OF PAVING.
WE'VE GOT THE ROUTE 17 WIDENING, UM, UH, FROM FOUR TO SIX LANES BETWEEN UH, WOLF TRAP ROAD AND 1 73.
THAT'S CURRENTLY IN PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING.
UM, THERE IS SOME RIGHT OF WAY WORK BEING DONE OUT THERE AS WELL.
UH, ROUTE 1 71 VICTORY, UH, BOULEVARD WIDENING BETWEEN 17 AND 1 34.
UH, THAT IS ALSO, UH, IT'S NOT THE SAME TIMEFRAME BUT IT'S CON CONNECTED.
WE ADVERTISE BOTH OF THOSE PROJECTS ON BOTH SIDES OF 17 ON VICTORY TOGETHER.
BUT THAT IS ALSO UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
UM, AND UH, THAT COMPLETION DATE IS APRIL OF 2026.
SO THIS ONE IS IN SUMMER OF 2025.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE ROUTE 1 71 COM CAPACITY ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN 1 34 17 40.
AND THAT IS LOOKING AT PUTTING SHARED USE PATH AND, UH, AND SOME TURN LANES THAT IS, UM, PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT.
IT WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY, JUNE THE 24TH FROM FIVE TO SEVEN AT THE VILLAGE OF KILLING CREEK RECREATIONAL CENTER.
UM, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR WANNA FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE COME, COME, UH, COME LISTEN TO US OR LOOK AT OUR BOARDS.
UH, WE HAVE THE AIRPORT ROAD, MOTOWN AND RICHMOND ROAD, UH, PROJECT, WHICH IS, UH, YORK COUNTY AND, UH, JAMES CITY COUNTY.
UH, THAT IS CURRENTLY ALSO IN, UH, IN PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING, UH, OR IN DESI.
UH, IT'S IN DESIGN SCOPING PHASE.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE I 64 GAP MOUNT WIDENING PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
UM, I'M GONNA BRIEFLY RUN THROUGH TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STUDIES.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS ME TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL I CAN.
BUT, UH, WE DID A SPEED LIMIT REVIEW, UM, ON ROUTE 180 9 NEWMAN ROAD AREA AND EXTENDED THE 45 CLOSER TO I 64.
SO IT'S NOT THAT LITTLE JUMP BETWEEN 55 TO 45 AS ACTUALLY AS YOU COME OFF 64.
NOW YOU'RE IN A 45 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT.
UH, LITTERING IS A LEGAL REVIEW FOR WATERVIEW, UH, THAT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED.
UM, WE ALSO LOOKED AT LAKES HEAD DRIVE AND THAT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR, UH, ANTI-LITTERING SIGNAGE.
UH, INTERSECTION TRAFFIC CONTROL 17 AT, UH, MATTHEWS STREET.
BASED ON OUR VIEW, UH, WE'RE GONNA INSTALL OR
[00:55:01]
INSTALL CURB BASE AND FLEXIBLE POSTS AS ILLUSTRATED.UM, AND Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THAT, UM, DOWN THERE WHERE IT'S WORKING REALLY WELL.
UM, TAB HIGH SCHOOL CROSSWALK REVIEW.
UH, WE COMPLETED THAT, FOLLOWED THOSE, UH, FILED THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE COUNTY.
UM, WE ALSO HAD A STATUTORY SPEED LIMIT AT GREENLAND SUBDIVISION, UH, SPEED LIMIT 25 SIGNS WERE ALREADY, UH, SO THERE WAS NO ACTION TAKEN ON THAT.
UH, ROUTE SEVEN 18 HORNSBY ROAD ROAD AND ROUTE 31 WATERVIEW INTERSECTION SAFETY REVIEW.
UM, WE REPLACED THE LEFT WESTBOUND STOP SIGNS ON HORNSBY VIEW WITH THE LARGER SIGNS AND, UH, COVERED THE OPPOSITE.
UH, RAILROAD WARNING SIGNS SHAPE, UH, INSTALLED DOUBLE ARROW, UM, SIGNS FACING THE WESTBOUND TRAFFIC.
AND WE REFRESHED THE INTERSECTION PAVEMENT MARKINGS PER THE DRAWING STOP BARS, CENTER LINE PAVEMENT MARKINGS, UH, INTERSECTION SAFETY REVIEW, UH, AT CRAWFORD ROAD BASED ON REVIEW.
UH, WE INSTALLED SCHOOL BUS STOP AHEAD SIGNAGE.
UH, WE INSTALLED CURVE WARNING SIGNS EASTBOUND WITH WATCH FOR TURNING VEHICLE SIGN AND CURVE WARNING SIGNS WESTBOUND ON CRAWFORD ROAD.
UH, PAYMENT MARKING REVIEWS FOR NEWMAN ROAD.
UH, TRAFFIC ENGINEER RECOMMEND INSTALLING A DOUBLE YELLOW, UH, SOLID CENTER LINE PAVEMENT MARKINGS, UM, FROM MELISSA LANE TO, UH, 1.7, 1.477 MILES OF NEWMAN ROAD.
AND THEN WE HAD, UH, NO THROUGH TRUCK DESIGNATION FOR CARDINAL LANE.
UH, THE PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFYING, STUDYING, ADDRESSING ISSUES FOR RESIDENTIAL CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.
UH, WE PROVIDED THAT AS OUR, UH, REVIEW.
AND THEN THE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS FOR, UH, CHEESEMAN ROAD.
UM, IT WAS, WE INSTALLED 25 MILE PER SIGNS ON CHEESEMAN.
AND THEN THE LAST ONE WAS, UH, SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT, UH, STUDY THERE AT QUEENS LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
AND THAT HAD SOME ADJUSTMENTS OF THE SCHOOL ZONE, UH, AND SOME ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE, UH, LAND USE.
WE, UH, FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, UH, WE HAVE REVIEWED, UH, 18 PLAN SETS.
UM, WE'VE ISSUED 33 LAND USE PERMITS FOR THE ROADWAY AND WE HAVE CLOSED ONE.
SO THAT IS CONCLUDING
I'D BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, UH, AND TRY TO ANSWER 'EM BEST I CAN.
UH, BACK TO THE, UM, INTERSECTION OF 17 VICTORY BOULEVARD, WEST 17
NOW THE REASON I I I, I'VE TALKED, I'VE HAD PHONE CALLS FROM MY CONSTITUENT AND I JUST SUSPECT, UH, STEVE HAS 'CAUSE THIS ONE CLOSE TO IT.
BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, UM, YOU GOT, YOU GOT PART OF DISTRICT FOUR, PRETTY MUCH ALL OF DISTRICT FIVE, THE CITY OF POIN, UM, GO THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION AND, UH, I KNOW MANY OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE IN THE ROOM HAVE AT LEAST EVEN THE, UH, THE, THE HIGH SCHOOLERS, UM, HAVE, UH, SEEN THIS.
SO THE ROADS ARE BUILT TO DO TO, TO HANDLE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC.
AND THE ONLY REASON I'M SAYING THIS, BECAUSE IT, IT REALLY UPSET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT MILLING THROUGH THERE THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED WHEN THE BUSIEST TIMES OF THE DAY THROUGH THE WORST INTERSECTION IN, IN THE PENINSULA, AND THEY HIT THAT ROAD.
AND A TRAFFIC SERVICE GOES FROM PROBABLY A C LEVEL, MAYBE EVEN A B AT TIMES BECAUSE IT GETS THROUGH THERE TO AN F
I MEAN, THIS THING IS SO BAD THAT PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA DAMAGE THEIR CARS.
SO I, I WOULD, I WOULD SUGGEST JUST TO SUGGEST IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT, YOU DO IT AT MIDNIGHT.
I MEAN, IT, IT JUST, UH, YOU JUST CANNOT GO SCREAMING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH A TWO INCH DIP, UH, ONCE GOING DOWN AND A TWO INCH DIP COMING UP.
'CAUSE YOU'RE LIABLE NOT TO HAVE A HUB, YOUR HUB CAPS OR YOUR, OR YOUR TIRES WHEN YOU GET THROUGH THERE.
UM, SO I, I'M EXPRESSING THE FRUSTRATION THAT MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS FELT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT WAS HANDLED.
AND I WILL TELL YOU, ROSSI, HAVING SI HAVING LIVED THROUGH THE TIME WHEN WE CLOSED DOWN EVERY CROSSING ACROSS HAMPTON ROADS EXCEPT FOR JAMES RIVER BRIDGE, AND YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE, THAT THIS WAS ALMOST, THIS WAS ALMOST TANTAMOUNT TO THAT FOR THE PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT.
IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS REALLY MISERABLE.
AND IT WAS MISERABLE FOR ANYBODY TRYING TO, TO GET THROUGH 17 OR GET ACROSS 17 BECAUSE PEOPLE, CARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED AND THEY JUST COULDN'T GO TO DOING ABOUT ONE OR TWO MILES AN HOUR.
SO WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THAT.
I'M, UM, THERE NOW I KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING THAT VICTORY BOULEVARD, ADDING THAT ONE LANE AND IT'S GONNA, YOU
[01:00:01]
SAID IT'S GONNA BE FINISHED IN APRIL NEXT YEAR? UH, THE MM-HMMONE, LIKE ON THE, I GUESS IT WOULD BE ON THE SOUTH, UH, THIS NORTH SIDE.
UH, IT'S THE ONE GOING TOWARDS POSA.
UM, THE, THE, THE TREES, I, I GOT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
IT'S LIKE, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS DOING IN YOUR COUNTY THAT LEAVING HALF A TREE STUMP THAT'S MAYBE EIGHT FEET HIGH? WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT? YOU HAVE A GOOD ANSWER.
I WOULD YOU WISH YOU WOULD SHARE THAT WITH THE PUBLIC
SO, UM, ALL OF OUR PROJECTS ARE BASED ON REGULATIONS.
UH, THIS HAPPENS TO BE THAT WE CANNOT CUT TREES, UM, AFTER THE APRIL 1ST DATE DUE TO A ENDANGERED SPECIES THAT LIVES IN OUR AREA, WHICH IS, IT'S A LONG YEARED BAT, UM,
UM, SO WITH THAT, UM, FOR US TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS MOVING, UM, ANY TREE CUTTING HAS TO BE BEFORE THAT DATE.
WE MAY NOT BE READY TO GO OUT AND START GRUBBING OR, UH, WHEN I SAY GRUBBING, THAT'S GETTING THE STUMPS UP OR ADDING LANES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
BUT WE'RE HELD TO THAT DATE, UM, THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE TREES CUT DOWN.
WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE THEM, BUT AFTER THAT APRIL DATE, WE CAN'T CUT ANY MORE TREES.
SO HOW LONG DOES THAT LAST? HOW LONG DOES THAT THAT ION IT LASTS A BIT.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THE ENDING OF IT IS, BUT I KNOW APRIL 1ST IS OUR DATE AND IT PROBABLY RUNS MOSTLY THROUGH THE SUMMER.
UM, SO WE DID THE SAME THING OUT ON 64 GAP.
IF YOU WERE HEADING TO RICHMOND, YOU SAW ALL THE TREES COME DOWN MM-HMM
AND THE SAME THING ALONG GRAFT.
THAT WAS LAST YEAR, BUT STILL, UM, THE SAME THING ALONG GRAFTON DRIVE.
I MEAN IT'S, IT'S, IT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE HELD TO.
SO, UM, OUR WORKAROUND FOR THAT IS TO GO CUT THE TREES DOWN AND THEN AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES AND AS WE, YOU KNOW, START DOING SCRUBBING OR CLEARING AND OTHER STUFF, WE TAKE THE STUMPS UP, WE MOVE ALL THE STUFF OUTTA THE WAY, AND WE START BUILDING A ROADWAY, YOU KNOW, DRAINAGE AND STRUCTURES AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
LAST QUESTION, BUT THAT, YOU ANSWERED THAT LAST QUESTION.
TWO OF THE SUPERVISORS AND OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH RAILROAD CROSSINGS THAT YOU'VE ADDRESSED.
I'M ON THE TPO, THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION FOR HAMPTON ROADS, AND WE GO THROUGH THIS LONG PROCESS OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET THINGS FIXED.
AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, YEARS STRUGGLING TO GET THOSE TWO INTER THOSE TWO CROSSINGS FIXED.
AND I HEARD NOTHING IN ANY OF THE STUFF THAT THE HAMPTON ROADS TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION, WHICH PRIORITIZES ALL THE PRETTY MUCH ROAD PROJECTS OR ANYTHING TO DEAL WITH VDOT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE 17 JURISDICTIONS.
HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT TWO, WE GETTING REPAIRS ON TWO CROSS SECTIONS OR TWO RAILROAD CROSSINGS.
SO, UH, IT DIDN'T JUST START YESTERDAY.
UM, SO MARK AND I HAVE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, AND SOME BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL.
UM, I HAD REACHED OUT TO CSX AND SAID, HEY, THESE ARE OUR PRIORITIES FOR US.
UM, I THOUGHT IT WOULD GET DONE SOONER.
I THINK I EVEN RESPONDED TO MARK ONE TIME, HEY, I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET IT DONE, YOU KNOW, THIS DATE.
AND NOW WE'RE SIX, EIGHT MONTHS LATER.
UM, BUT, UM, WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH CSX, I HAVE SOME CONTACTS THERE, AND I ALSO WORKED FAIRLY WELL WITH THE LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT, UM, OF CSX AND THEY WERE HAPPEN TO HAVE THEIR EQUIPMENT IN THE, IN THE AREA.
UM, SO WE WERE ABLE TO PICK A DATE AND IT WORKED OUT FOR THEM AND FOR US AND, UH, PUT IT TOGETHER.
WELL, I'M VERY GRATEFUL AND I KNOW THEY ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE FINALLY ADDRESSING THIS, BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO ME, UH, THAT'S A HELL OF A WAY TO DO BUSINESS.
UH, I MEAN, WE GOT IT DONE, BUT THE LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION IS THAT WE HAVE SPENT HOURS, WE SPENT, HAD MAKE PHONE CALLS, WE'VE HAD TO TALK TO, TALK TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, UH, AND, AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GETS A, A PROJECT THAT'S IMPORTANT TO A, A LOCALITY GETS COMPLETED, BUT IT'S ON A PERSONAL BASIS.
SO LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THESE ARE RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAYS.
ARE WE UNDERSTAND? SO VDOT DOES NOT DO ANY WORK WITHIN RAILROAD RIGHT? OF AWAYS? WE WERE JUST TRYING TO FACILITATE.
WE WERE JUST TRYING TO, AND YOU WORK AND YOU WORKED THE THING WITH THE, WITH CSX? YEAH.
WE WERE TRYING TO FACILITATE THE REPAIRS WITH CSX AND, AND ABLE TO GET IT HERE.
WE WERE PARTNERING WITH THEM AS IN DOING THE LANE CLOSURES AND THE TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR THEM.
SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CONTRACT THAT OUT TO TRY TO GET THEM SORT OF SAYING, HEY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THIS DONE.
I'LL DO THIS PART IF YOU CAN DO THAT PART.
AND THEY RESPONDED BACK SAYING, YEAH, WE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT.
[01:05:01]
WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WHERE THEY WERE GONNA DO IT, BUT THEY SAID, HEY, WE CAN DO IT IN JUNE.I MET WITH THE, WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, UM, AND WE WORKED IT OUT ON THE CALENDAR AND WAS ABLE TO PUT SOME WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT EFFORT.
JUST A MINUTE BEFORE WE GET TO THE OTHER QUESTIONS.
UH, IF THE STUDENTS WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE WELCOME TO.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE MEETING, YOU'RE ALSO WELCOME TO.
I'LL GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES
WELL, THEY WON'T NEED THAT MUCH TIME.
NOBODY'S GONNA LEAVE THIS POINT.
LAST NIGHT,
THEY GOTTA SEE SOME GOVERNMENT AT WORK AND A COUPLE OF THEM ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING AND THEY WERE FALLING ASLEEP.
NO, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.
I THINK MAYBE WE'RE READY TO COMMENCE.
STEVEN, DID YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? YES, I DID.
SO MS. CARROLL, THANK YOU FOR SOME GOOD NEWS TONIGHT.
UM, SOME OF THIS LONG TIME COMING.
THANK YOU FOR THE REMARKING OF SOME OF THOSE ROWS.
SHOW WALTER ELLA LINDSEY, LATE LINDSEY LAND AND GETTING INTO, UH, BREEZY POINT.
UM, AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN KEEPING YOU AND MR. RAWS BUSY PAST COUPLE, THREE WEEKS.
VDO HAS BEEN VERY POPULAR IN DISTRICT FOUR HERE RECENTLY.
UM, SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE TENSION YOU'VE BEEN GIVING US, HELPING US OUT, GIVING US GOOD FEEDBACK.
THOSE, THOSE HEAVY RAIN RAINS HAVE NOT HELPED YOU
UM, A COUPLE THINGS FOLLOW UP ON ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES FOR THE, UM, SCHOOL CROSSWALK FROM VILLA, UH, WAY TO TAB MIDDLE SCHOOL.
I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A TEAM LOOK AT YES, SIR.
IS THAT STILL UNDER REVIEW? YEAH.
WHAT WE WANT, I'LL SEND IT TO OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS AND THEY TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
IT'S STILL LOOKING AT WARRANTED.
ALSO THEY'RE ON VILLA WAY, PROBABLY STILL UNDER THE SAME REVIEW, BUT THAT THE FLOODING ALONG VILLA WAY AND THAT SHORT ROAD FROM VILLA RAY OVER INTO MOUNT VERNON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IT, IT FLOODS WHERE WE GET ANY RAIN AND IT COSTS US PEOPLE TO WALK OUT THE ROAD AND STUFF.
AND THE, UM, REALLY NEED SOME HELP WITH THE PATCHING, THE RE FIXING THE PATCH PATCH WORK ON GOODWIN NECK ROAD THERE IN FRONT OF THE, UH, SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
UM, WE, WE'VE REACHED OUT TO SOMEBODY IN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND, AND SHE'S DOING SOME, TRYING TO DO SOME FOLLOW UP WITH THE CONTRACTOR WHO NEEDS TO COME BACK OUT THERE.
BUT ANY, ANY ASSISTANT YOU GIVE US, GET THAT FIXED BECAUSE WITH THE, WITH THE TRANSFER STATION ON THAT ROAD, A LOT OF HEAVY TRUCKS AND TRAILERS COME ON THAT ROAD AND EVERY TIME THEY HIT LOOSE PATCHES, IT MAKES AWFUL RACKET FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS THERE ALONG THAT ROAD.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT SQUATTED DOWN.
YOU MENTIONED 64, UM, Y'ALL HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TREES DOWN OUTTA THE MEDIAN AND I KNOW YOU GOTTA DO THAT IN, IN PREPARATION TO WIDEN, WIDEN THE ROAD.
IS THE END VISION OF THAT IS TO REESTABLISH THAT TREE LINE IN THE MEDIAN? WELL, WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE, I MEAN, SO THE AREAS THAT ARE WIDE ENOUGH, YES, YOU PUT TREES BACK UP THERE, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, SO THE CLOSER YOU GOT THIS WAY YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A BARRIER WITH ROCKS AND STUFF OF THAT NATURE.
AS YOU GET OUT TOWARDS JAMES CITY COUNTY, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY MEDIANS WITH, WITH, UM, WITH TREES AND YORK COUNTY AS WELL AND THE UPPER YORK COUNTY AREA.
UH, IT REALLY DEPENDS UPON HOW WIDE THE MEDIAN IS.
UM, BEING THAT WE ARE WIDENING TO THE INSIDE, UM, THAT'S THE AREA THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE AND THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURES ARE ALL IN THE MEDIAN AS WELL.
UM, BUT YES, SO AS YOU AT THE FURTHER YOU GO OUT, THE MEDIAN IS WIDER.
IT, IT DOESN'T TAKE AS MANY TREES OR, OR THERE WILL BE LANDSCAPING INVOLVED IN PART OF THAT.
I WAS DRIVING, I WAS DRIVING THAT RECENTLY AND I SAW THESE TREES TAKEN.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD IT LOOKED NOT HAVING THE TREES IN THE MEDIA.
SO I WAS HOPING TO HEAR YOU WERE GONNA REPLANT AS YOU SURE.
UM, IT, IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS UPON HOW WIDE THEY AREAND AND HOW MUCH IS LEFT.
WELL, I, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ROSSI.
UM, THAT'S GREAT NEWS ON THE, ON DOING THE SHOULDER, UH, STRETCH ON SPRINGFIELD ROAD.
[01:10:01]
LOT OF FOLKS ON THAT ROAD ASK ME ABOUT THAT.SO GREAT TO SEE THAT'S MOVING FORWARD.
I WAS ALSO PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT, UM, SPRINGFIELD TERRACE BEING DONE IN THE 14 MONTH PERIOD.
THAT, THAT'S GREAT NEWS FOR THAT AREA.
SO THAT'S IN THE ADVERTISEMENT WE'RE ADVERTISING THAT PROJECT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW THINGS ARE WITH ADVERTISEMENT? MM-HMM.
IT'S, I UNDERSTAND NOT, IT'S NOT AWARDED, BUT I, I THOUGHT THAT WAS SOME GOOD NEWS THAT, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE REACHING FOR THAT.
THE LAST POINT I HAD WAS, UH, QUEENS LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SPEED, UH, ENFORCEMENT ALONG THERE IS A CHALLENGE.
SO ANY, ANYTHING, ANY WORK YOU CAN DO ON THE SPEED LIMITS IS, IS, UH, HIGHLY RECOGNIZED OR HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
OKAY, WAYNE? YEAH, THANKS ROSSI FOR, UH, THE UPDATE AND THE DETAILS.
UM, THERE WILL BE SOME BACK FLIPS THERE AT THE, UM, RAILROAD CROSSINGS WHEN THAT GETS DONE, I CAN ASSURE YOU MM-HMM
I'VE BEEN, I'VE BEEN CALLED MORE THAN ENOUGH ON THAT.
UM, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY INDICATION OF WHEN THE PARKWAY'S GONNA OPEN ON THIS END? HAVE YOU HEARD? I DO NOT.
I I DIDN'T, I DO HAVE A CONTACT THAT I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IT RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
UH, THE SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR, SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR.
OH, I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS THAT FAR OUT.
UM, SO I KNOW WE TALKED LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE ABOUT HARDWOOD MILLS AND THAT BIG HUMP COMING NORTH, AND I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S EXPENSIVE TO FIX.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE WORKS? ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT THAT? IS THAT 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD? DO YOU HAVE ANY INDICATION OF HOW THAT'S GONNA, THE ONE ON THE FAR RIGHT IS THE WORST.
SO I KNOW WHEN I GO OVER IT, I TRY TO GET IN THE THIRD LANE BECAUSE IT'S GETS PRETTY BAD.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GOTTEN ANY WORSE THAN IT WAS WHEN WE ACCEPTED THE PROJECT.
UM, BUT ALL OF THAT, SO THE FAR RIGHT IS IT'S ALL THAT CURB AND GUTTER, ALL THOSE STRUCTURES WERE SET ALREADY IN THERE.
AND THEY HAVEN'T SETTLED ANY THAT'S, THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS CONSTRUCTED.
UM, I WISH THERE WAS A SMOOTHER TRANSITION.
UM, BUT REALLY A LOT OF ALL OF THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REDONE, UM, TO CHANGE THE ELEVATION OF THE ROAD TO TIE INTO THE, TO THE BRIDGE OR THE BOXES.
SO YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT RAMP? I CANNOT, I CANNOT, I CANNOT GO OUT THERE AND CHANGE THE ELEVATION WITHOUT CHANGING ALL OF THE STRUCTURES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO IT.
IF NOT, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS YOUR ROAD IS GONNA BE HIGHER THAN YOUR CURBING AND YOUR GUTTER AND YOUR DROP INLETS THAT ARE ALL IN THAT AREA.
UH, AND THE LAST THING I'LL GET WITH YOU, I'M GETTING A LOT MORE CALLS FROM MALL BANK, UH, ALL THE POTHOLES THAN MALL BANKS.
THE, THE ROADS STARTING TO CRUMBLE ON THE EDGES.
AND SO MAYBE WE CAN MEET OUT THERE AND RIDE THROUGH THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT, BE HAPPY TO, TO, I HAD A NUMBER OF CALLS WITH THE, THAT WHOLE MALL BANK FARMS THERE, SO I, I CAN GET WITH YOU ON THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, ROSSI.
I'M NOT GOING TO BELABOR THE ISSUE.
I THINK YOU DO A TERRIFIC JOB AND THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH MONEY TO GO AROUND.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
WE JUST NEED THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO GIVE MORE MONEY FOR THE MAINTENANCE THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.
BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING EVERY QUARTER.
[CITIZENS' COMMENT PERIOD]
SOUTHERN AGENDA IS CITIZENS COMMENT, PERIOD.AND I'VE GOT MARSHALL ADAMS AS NUMBER ONE.
JUST, IS THERE SOMEONE, I THINK THAT'S ADAMS, ISN'T IT SEAFORD? MRS. IS THAT ADAMS? IS THAT MRS. NOLL? MRS. DOLL.
I BELIEVE HE WAS WITH THE BOY SCOUTS AND I BELIEVE HE HAS LEFT.
PAM PO SHOW 1 0 3, KIMBERLY COURT OF DISTRICT FOUR.
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES EVENTUALLY TRICKLES DOWN TO ALL OF US.
WE HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS THE MASTER OF GRIFT AND IS BEING SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER TRUMP'S MEME COIN SALE FOR WHITE HOUSE DINNERS AND TOURISTS IS MAKING BILLIONS.
HIS REAL ESTATE BUSINESS IS THRIVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND VIETNAM.
JARED, JARED KUSHNER IS TAKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE SAUDIS AND TRUMP IS ACCEPTING A $400 MILLION QATARI AIRPLANE FOR HIS PERSONAL USE.
OUR TAX DOLLARS WILL BE USED, QUOTED AT A BILLION DOLLARS TO REMOVE ANY SPYWARE AND INSTALL ALL THAT IS NECESSARY TO CREATE AIR FORCE.
[01:15:01]
WE ALREADY HAVE TWO PLANES BEING BUILT IN THE US, TRUMP SAID THE US NEEDED TO HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST IMPRESSIVE PLANE, NOT HIS CURRENT INFERIOR ONE.HE WAS ENVIOUS OF THE MONARCHS AND DICTATORS OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
WHILE THERE HE WAS GUARANTEED THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRUMP TOWER IN SYRIA.
HE THEN LIFTED ALL SANCTIONS FOR BEING A SUPPORTER OF TERRORISM WITHOUT CONS, CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.
TRUMP IS CELEBRATING HIS BIRTHDAY BY SPENDING ABOUT 45 MILLION TAX DOLLARS FOR A MILITARY PARADE TO STROKE HIS EGO.
HE DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HIS TARIFFS COSTING HOUSEHOLDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE INCREASING THE DEBT AND REDUCING TAXES FOR THE BILLIONAIRES.
NOT ONE OF ELON MUSK'S BILLION DOLLAR CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN CUT.
FOREIGN STUDENTS WHO PROTEST NOT AGAINST JUDAISM, BUT THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT'S GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS AND GAZA ARE ARRESTED.
BUT THEN THEY ARE NOT BRIBING TRUMP FOR FAVORS.
TRUMP WANTS TO PURGE ANYTHING THAT MEETS HIS CRITERIA OF DEI.
IF YOU SUPPORT OR WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT LGBTQ PLUS PEOPLE OR THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF WOMEN OR MINORITIES WHO ARE GUILTY AND SHOULD BE FIRED OR UNFUNDED, THE KENNEDY CENTER, THE SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS ON AFRICAN AMERICANS AND NATIVE AMERICANS AND MANY OTHERS ARE ALL ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM WILL NEVER COME TO FRUITION WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
TRUMP FIRED THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS.
IMAGINE THE PURGING OF MILLIONS OF BOOKS.
TRUMP WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS GRANTED REFUGEE STATUS AND FLEW THE FIRST 59 WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS TO THE US WHO JUST DO NOT LIKE LOSING THEIR STATUSES.
OVERSEERS OF AN IMPRE OPPRESSIVE POLITICAL POWER CALLED APARTHEID.
YET THOSE WHO AIDED THE US MILITARY AND AFGHANISTAN, OR ARE FLEEING GENOCIDE ARE BEING SENT BACK TO A GUARANTEED DEATH IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES.
PROGRAMS THAT FUND MEDICAL RESEARCH, HEAD START, SNAP, FOOD, BANKS, HEALTHCARE, THE VA, FEMA, FA, A, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICAID, AND MEDICARE ARE ALSO ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
EMPLOYEES ARE BEING FIRED WITHOUT CONCERN ABOUT THE NECESSITY OF THEIR POSITIONS.
BUT TRUMP'S PLANE IS NOT PALATIAL ENOUGH.
WHEN TRUMP WAS ASKED IF HE WOULD UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, HE RESPONDED, I DON'T KNOW.
HIS ADMINISTRATION IS DEMONSTRATING THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN DUE PROCESS GUARANTEED BY THE FIFTH AMENDMENT.
HIS OATH, HIS OATH OF OFFICE WAS MERELY A SUGGESTION.
MY QUESTION IS, WHY DOES ANYONE SUPPORT THIS TYRA? HAVE YOU NO SHAME.
UH, THAT'S THE LAST PERSON I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR, UH, CITIZENS COMMENT, PERIOD.
IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD CARE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME, IF NOT, I'LL CLOSE THE CITIZENS COMMENT PERIOD.

SHE WAS FIRST SELECTED AS AN ASTRONAUT IN 2017.
SHE WENT TO BRUTON HIGH SCHOOL.
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GIVE ENOUGH CREDIT TO THE TEACHERS WHO COULD SPARK THE IMAGINATION OF OUR STUDENTS AND LEAD THEM TO GREAT GREATER THINGS.
AND HERE THIS YOUNG LADY WENT ALL THROUGH GRUTEN.
UH, HE HAD BOOKS THAT HE LOANED HER AND SHE READ EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
AND SHE DID AN INDEPENDENT STUDY ON THEM AND SHE JUST WENT FROM THERE TO ANOTHER PLACE, TO ANOTHER PLACE.
AND HOW MARVEL IT IS THAT WE HAVE A HOMEGROWN WOMAN WHO IS GOING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.
SO HEADS, HANDS OFF TO EVERYBODY.
I THINK BRUTON HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD DESERVE A SPECIAL PLAQUE.
AND SHE'S INVITED THE TEACHER TO LAUNCHING.
AND I THINK THAT'S SUPER BECAUSE SHE'S KEPT IN TOUCH WITH THEM AND TEACHERS CAN MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE ON A STUDENT.
SO TO ALL YOU TEACHERS OUT THERE, CONGRATULATIONS.
'CAUSE YOU'RE ALL PART OF THIS BECAUSE EACH OF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO A STUDENT SOMEDAY THAT MAY SPARK A DIFFERENCE.

HEY FOLKS, WE'RE READY TO GET STARTED.
[3. Application No. ZM-205-25, Seaford Breeze, LLC. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 25-11 to rezone a 0.16-acre parcel at 111 Shirley Road from Water-Oriented Commercial/Industrial (WCI) to Rural Residential (RR). a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Zoning Map c. Survey Plat d. Elevations and Floor Plans e. Excerpts from March 12, 2025, Planning Commission Minutes f. Proposed Ordinance No. 25-11]
HOPING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS NOW, AND THE FIRST ONE WE HAVE IS AN APPLICATION ZM, UH, 2 0 5 DASH 25 FROM SEAFORD BREEZE, LLC.UM, AND IT HAS TO DO WITH A CHANGE IN ZONING.
SO THIS APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY SEAFORD BREEZE, LLC, IS A REQUEST TO REZONE ONE 11 SHIRLEY ROAD.
THE 16 HUNDREDTHS OF AN ACRE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED WCI FOR WATER ORIENTED COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND DESIGNATED LIMITED BUSINESS.
IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO AMEND THE YORK COUNTY ZONING MAP BY RECLASSIFYING ONE 11 SHIRLEY ROAD FROM WCI TO RR FOR RURAL RESIDENTIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING ONE DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.
SO TO THE NORTH IS BACK CREEK TO THE EAST IS A WAREHOUSE OWNED BY TRUST IN TECHNOLOGIES TO THE SOUTH IS SHIRLEY ROAD AND TWO, DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS BEYOND AND TO THE WEST IS A VACANT LOT, ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.
IN OUR ANALYSIS STAFF EXAMINE THREE FACTORS, PROPERTY SIZE, THE RPA BUFFER AND THE SURROUNDING ZONING.
I'LL START BY DISCUSSING PROPERTY SIZE.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CONSTRAINED BY BOTH PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.
THE PROPERTY IS CONSIDERABLY SMALLER AT 16 HUNDREDTHS OF AN ACRE THAN MOST OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ON SHIRLEY ROAD, WHICH AVERAGE APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TENTHS OF AN ACRE IN SIZE.
FURTHERMORE, AND APPROXIMATELY 909 HUNDREDS OF AN ACRE PORTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DRY LAND.
THE REMAINING LAND IS UNDERWATER BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL SIZE, THE PROPERTY IS UNLIKELY TO BE DEVELOPED AS A WATER ORIENTED COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE.
I'VE OVERLAYED THE SURVEY PLOT SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT, UH, ONTO AN AERIAL IMAGE OF THE PROPERTY TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED.
SO NEXT I'LL DISCUSS THE RPA BUFFER.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ALSO WATERFRONT AND ENTIRELY WITHIN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY RESOURCE PROTECTION AREA OR RPA BUFFER.
UH, RPA BUFFERS ARE 100 FEET IN WIDTH AND PROTECT WATER QUALITY BY REGULATING DEVELOPMENT ON LAND ADJACENT TO BODIES OF WATER.
ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD ENCROACH MORE THAN 50 FEET INTO THE RPA BUFFER REQUIRES APPROVAL THROUGH THE, THROUGH YORK COUNTY'S CHESAPEAKE BAY BOARD.
BY VIRTUE OF THE PROPERTY'S LOCATION WITHIN THE RPA BUFFER, ANY DEVELOPMENT OF OF THE PROPERTY WOULD ENCROACH MORE THAN 50 FEET INTO THE RPA.
FURTHERMORE, A DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE IS LESS INTENSE THAN A COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE AND WOULD HAVE LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WITHIN THE RPA.
SO FINALLY, I'LL DISCUSS THE SURROUNDING ZONING.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS LIMITED BUSINESS ALLOWING LOW TO MODERATE INTENSITY COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING WATER ORIENTED COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES.
THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT IS PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL WITH MOST PROPERTIES ALONG SHIRLEY ROADS ZONED RRR OR USED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
WHILE THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE WEST ARE ZONED WCI, THE PARCEL IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT REMAINS VACANT WITH A SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING.
AND THEN MILLS MARINA LOCATED FURTHER BEYOND ALL PROPERTIES SOUTH ACROSS SHIRLEY ROAD AND TO THE EAST BEYOND THE NEIGHBORING TRUST AND TECHNOLOGIES WAREHOUSE ARE ZONED RR AND ARE RESIDENTIAL REZONING.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO RR WOULD ALIGN WITH THE PREDOMINANT ZONING PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY'S PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS MAKE IT UNLIKELY TO EVER BE DEVELOPED AS A WATER ORIENTED COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE WITH MOST OF THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES BEING ZONED RR AS RESIDENTIAL, OR I'M SORRY, OR USED AS RESIDENTIAL, THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD PATTERN.
THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH 11.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASK HIM? COULD YOU SHOW ME THAT VIEW WITH THE, THE, THE, THE MAP OF THE PROPERTY OVERLAID ON YES, ON THE PLAT.
[01:30:03]
OKAY.I GUESS THERE'S MORE DRAW LAND THERE THAN IT APPEARS.
I, UM, WE DOING FILL IN IS A, A PROPOSED SAND PROPOSED SAND BEACH.
SO THIS IS ALL I, I GUESS IF THEY GET APPROVAL FROM THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BOARD TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES TO, WITH THE PROPOSED RIP WRAP AND PLANTING ZONE AND SAND BEACH.
UH, I THINK THAT, UM, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT AM I LOOKING AT THERE? THE APPLICANT MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU.
AND, UM, OTHER QUESTION BEFORE THAT, IS SHIRLEY ROADS SERVED BY, UM, HRSD AND NEWPORT NEWS WATERWORKS, OR IS THAT ALL SEPTIC AND WELL WATER? NO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE SERVED BY PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER? GO AHEAD, JEANNIE.
WHAT, WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE BEING PROPOSED? HOW MANY SQUARE FOOT SMOOTH? I THINK IT'S ALSO A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
WERE THE APPLICANT CARED TO COME FORWARD PLEASE? THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING.
HI, QUEEN HARBIN 1 25 SHIRLEY ROAD.
UM, CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? UM, THE, THAT OVERLAY SHOWED PROPOSED RIP WRAP PROPOSED SAND BEATS PROPOSED.
IS THAT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
THAT, THAT YOU'LL, YOU'LL DO OH YEAH, I WILL DO THAT.
SO THAT'S YOUR PROPOSAL AND PURPOSE OKAY.
REALLY IS TO TRY TO CONTROL WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ENOUGH PROPERTY TO PUT THE HOUSE ON AND BEING TWO STORIES WITH A DRIVE UNDER FOR, UH, FOR YOUR VEHICLES.
SO YOU GREW UP ON STILTS, OKAY.
DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? SO MY QUESTION WAS AROUND THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE AND I WANNA SAY IT'S, UH, 30 BY, UM, 30 BY 30.
SO, UH, TWO AND THEN IT'S SMALLER ON TOP.
I THINK WE'RE ABOUT 1200 SQUARE FEET.
AND, AND SO WHAT DOES IT SLEEP OR HOW MANY BEDROOMS? IT'D BE THREE BEDROOMS. THREE BEDROOMS. OKAY.
SO, SO JEANIE KINDA KINDA BUMPED IN ON ONE SIDE AND THEN UHHUH BIGGER.
SO MY QUESTION BACK TO JEANIE WAS THE PARKING IS, UM, COMPATIBLE WITH THE THREE BEDROOM APPROACH UNDERNEATH, YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO HAVE TWO CARS UNDERNEATH.
ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BOARD? HAVE YOU GOTTEN CLEARANCE? THAT I CAN'T GO FORWARD TO THAT TILL HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS FORWARD.
TO APPROACH THEN, THEN YOU GO FORWARD AND YOU, THEY STILL MAY SAY NO, WE HOPE NOT.
I I I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WENT THROUGH A LOT TO, TO GET THE LIVING SHORELINE AND SO THAT WE COULD HAVE THAT ALREADY IN PREPARATION.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I GOT ONE QUESTION.
SO JUST, JUST, JUST TO UNDERSTAND THIS, THE JETTY, WELL, WHATEVER THE PICTURE WENT TO, BUT THE JETTY AND THE, AND THE SAND BEACH THAT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY YES SIR.
BY THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
I JUST, YOU NEED US? YES, MA'AM.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CARE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? SEE NONE.
I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? I'D LIKE TO MOVE, UM, UM, WHERE WE AT? UH, NUMBER THREE, NU NUMBER THREE 20.
UH, ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.
UM, I, OF COURSE I LIVE IN SEAFORD AND I KNOW THIS PROPERTY VERY WELL, AND MR. HARBIN AND THEM ARE DOING A FAVOR TO GET A HOUSE THERE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT, LIKE THEY SAID.
AND, UM, KAITLYN SAID, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET, UM, ANYBODY TO GO IN TO DO A COMMERCIAL BUILDING.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PURPOSE, UH, TO REZONE IT FOR THAT PARTICULAR HOUSE AND THEY DO A QUALITY JOB.
SO, UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE THAT COMMENT.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ROHN IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH 11 TO REZONE A 0.16 ACRE PARCEL AT ONE 11 SHIRLEY ROAD FROM WATER ORIENTED COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL TO RURAL RESIDENTIAL.
[4. Application No. UP-1046-25, Landon Haywood. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R25-82 to authorize a tourist home in an existing dwelling at 1024 Penniman Road. a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Zoning Map c. Applicant’s Narrative d. Floor Plan e. Parking Sketch Map f. Neighbor Letters of Support g. Excerpts from March 12, 2025, Planning Commission Minutes h. Proposed Resolution R25-82]
AGENDA IS APPLICATION UP 10 46[01:35:01]
DASH 25 LANDON HAYWARD.THIS IS AN APPLICATION FOR A TOURIST HOME IN A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE AT 10 24 PENMAN ROAD.
SUBJECT PARCEL THERE HIGHLIGHTED IN CYAN.
IT'S ZONED HIGH DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
AS IS EVERYTHING SURROUNDING, YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS HERE ACROSS THE STREET TO THE EAST AND THEN TO THE SOUTH IS JAMES CITY COUNTY.
THAT'S JUST AN AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY.
IT GIVES YOU SOME OF THE SUBDIVISIONS AROUND THERE.
WANNA TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT'S SURROUNDING THE HOUSE HERE? CAVALIER BAPTIST CHURCH IS RIGHT HERE TO THE EAST AND THEN TO THE NORTH WE HAVE TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.
THEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH IS GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH IN JAMES CITY COUNTY.
AND THAT'S JUST SOME PHOTOS OF THE HOUSE.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST ISH.
UM, YOU CAN SEE CAVALRY BAPTIST CHURCH RIGHT THERE.
I'M LOOKING DIRECTLY SOUTH ACROSS THE STREET AT GRACE BAPTIST CHURCH IN JAMES CITY.
AND THAT'S LOOKING ACROSS PENMAN ROAD.
AND THAT'S JUST A VIEW OF THE HOUSE THERE.
THE HOUSE ITSELF, UM, KINDA YOUR STANDARD, STANDARD SINGLE FAMILY HOME, THREE BEDROOMS. UM, IN THIS CASE IT'S BEING PROPOSED.
THE WHOLE HOUSE RENTAL BE SIX GUESTS.
MAXIMUM LENGTHS OF STAY WOULD BE TWO CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS TO 29 CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEFINITION FOR TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY.
AND THEN THIS WOULD ALSO HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR FOUR PARKING SPACES.
THIS IS KIND OF THE APPLICANT'S PARKING PROPOSAL.
THEY HAVE A HORSESHOE DRIVEWAY, SO THREE OF THE CARS WOULD FIT HERE, KIND OF STACKED FRONT TO BACK, AND THEN ONE COULD PULL IN THERE INTO THE CARPORT, WHICH YOU SAW IN THAT PREVIOUS PHOTO.
I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THIS APPLICATION RELATES TO THE BOARD POLICY FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOMES.
ONE OF THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED IN THE BOARD POLICY TALKS ABOUT DISTANCES FOR VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS AND DENSITIES BASED ON WHERE YOU HAVE AN EXISTING ACTIVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
IN THIS CASE, FOR R 13, IT'S 750 FEET.
SO I KIND OF SHOWED A BUFFER THERE.
THE NEAREST ACTIVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL IS ONE 13 EIL, WHICH IS A LITTLE STAR RIGHT THERE.
THIS PROPERTY IS ABOUT 1500 FEET AWAY.
SO IT DOES MEET THAT PARTICULAR CRITERIA FOR THE SEPARATION.
DID WE NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE ON PENMAN? UM, IT'S NOT WITHIN THAT DISTANCE.
SO THE, THIS, THE EDL ONE IS ACTUALLY LIKE GEOGRAPHICALLY THE CLOSEST.
ONE OF THE OTHER CRITERIA IS HOME OWNERSHIP, AND PARTICULARLY WHERE THE OWNER IS IN RELATION TO THE SHORT TERM RENTAL WHERE THEY RESIDE.
SO THIS IS AGAIN, THE HOUSE DIRECTLY ACROSS HERE AT 10 18.
PENMAN IS MS. MONIQUE ARMSTEAD.
SHE'S PROPOSED TO BE THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY OR THE MANAGER, WHICH IS PERMITTED UNDER THE TENANTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
IN THIS CASE, AGAIN, THE OWNER WOULD NOT BE MANAGING THE TOURIST HOME.
HE DOESN'T RESIDE DIRECTLY ADJACENT.
UM, INSTEAD HE'S DESIGNATED HIS ADJACENT NEIGHBOR HERE AS WELL AS MR. RANDALL.
AND SO THAT'S JUST A PHOTO OF WHERE THE SUBJECT HOUSE IS.
AND THEN WHERE'S MS. ARMSTEAD? WHO'S GONNA BE THE MANAGER? WE HAVE A CONDITION PROPOSED IN THE RESOLUTION TO THAT END THAT MS. ARMSTEAD MUST BE PRESENT ANYTIME THAT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL IS OCCURRING.
SHE HAS TO BE AT 10 18 PENMAN.
THIS DOES NOT MEET THOUGH THE BOARD POLICY GUIDELINE, WHICH DICTATES THAT THE OWNER EITHER BE IN THE HOME THAT'S BEING RENTED OR IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE HOME THAT'S BEING RENTED.
THIS APPLICATION DID RECEIVE LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT WERE INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET WITH THE MEMO.
ONE WAS FROM 10 18 PENMAN, THE OTHER ONE WAS FROM THE NEIGHBOR HERE AT 6 23 8 QUEENS CREEK.
JUST HIGHLIGHTING SOME MORE CONDITIONS.
A LOT OF THESE WITH OTHER SHORT-TERM RENTAL CONDITIONS, AGAIN, HAS TO BE RENTED AS A WHOLE HOUSE.
CAN'T DO SEPARATE ROOMS. KIND OF YOUR STANDARD FIRE LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
UM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
ONE THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT IS YOU SEE THERE WAS ONE FOR ADDRESS NUMBERS.
HOUSE DOESN'T HAVE THE ADDRESS NUMBERS POSTED UP FRONT.
SO WHAT FIRE WOULD LIKE IF THIS APPLICATION IS APPROVED, THOSE ADDRESS NEED NUMBERS NEED TO BE POSTED AND THEY NEED TO BE VISIBLE ENOUGH THAT THEY'RE DRIVING BY.
THEY CAN IDENTIFY THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN KIND OF AS IS TYPICAL WITH THESE OTHER CASES THAT WE'VE SEEN LATELY, THE USE PERMIT FOR THE TOURIST HOME WOULD TERMINATE UPON THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY BY CURRENT OWNER.
SO SOME CONCLUSIONS, AGAIN AS A USE FOR TOURIST HOMES.
IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR IN SCALE TO THE OTHER ONES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
HOWEVER, THIS IS AN OFFSITE PROPERTY OWNER AND DOESN'T MEET THAT BOARD POLICY.
SO FOR THAT REASON, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL.
THIS APPLICATION, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID HEAR THIS ON MARCH 12TH, 2025 AND THEY VOTED FIVE TO ONE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
SO TONIGHT, IF YOU WISH TO APPROVE THIS APPLICATION, YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 25 82.
[01:40:04]
SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT.I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF.
HE'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE MANAGERS TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT AS WELL.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF? JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE PROPOSAL IS THAT THE HOMEOWNER WILL NOT BE RESIDENT WHILE IT IS BEING RENTED.
ALL OVER THE I DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION FOR STAFF.
UM, THE PERSON ASSIGNED TO LOOK AFTER THE HOUSE DOES NOT APPEAR TO OWN THE NEIGHBORING HOUSE.
SO THE WAY WE WROTE THE CONDITION IS THAT IF, IF THIS IS APPROVED, SHE WOULD HAVE TO, SHE HAS TO BE IN THAT HOUSE WHILE THE HOUSE IS BEING RENTED, BUT SHE HERSELF APPEARS TO BE A RENTER, NOT AN OWNER.
SO, SO THE WAY OUR, OUR, OUR ORDINANCE READS THAT IF, UH, PER, IF THE HOUSE IS BEING RENTED AND THEY COME IN AND I THINK THE RENTAL TIME CAN GO UP TO LIKE 29 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW MM-HMM
SO THAT MEANS THAT, UM, THAT THE NE THE PERSON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MANAGER OF THE PLACE AND OR WHETHER IT COULD BE THE OWNER LIVING NEXT DOOR, ONE OF THESE, THEY HAVE TO PHYSICALLY BE ON THEIR PROPERTY THE WHOLE TIME THE HOUSE IS BEING RENTED.
THE WAY THE POLICY, AND THIS IS IN JUST, I'M REFERRING TO THE POLICY IN THIS CASE.
UM, I I THINK THIS WAS WRITTEN MORE AGAIN, IF YOU'RE LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
SO, UM, ARE YOU, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE CONDITION OF THE POLICY? I DIDN'T, I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTOOD YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY.
WELL, THE POLICY IS WHAT WE'RE, WHAT I'M KIND OF FOCUSED ON HERE.
AND THE REASON I'M BRINGING THIS UP, BECAUSE WE, IN THE PAST, WE TURNED DOWN ONE, I REMEMBER MM-HMM
A GUY WANTED TO GO ON VACATION SOMEWHERE AND HE'D BE GONE FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS AND WHILE IT WAS BEING RENTED AND, UH, HE OWNED THE PLACE AND HE WAS LIVING NEXT DOOR, BUT HE WASN'T GONNA BE HOME FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.
AND, UM, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE HERE? I MEAN, I, IF, IF YOU GET SOMEBODY THAT'S AGREES TO MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY, THEN THEY PHYSICALLY WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE WAY I'M READING THIS, THEY'VE TO PHYSICALLY BE ON THE PROPERTY THE WHOLE TIME THE PLACE IS BEING RENTED.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY COULDN'T WHAT ARE THEY CAN'T GO TO THE GROCERY STORE? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I MEAN REALLY FOR THE, NO, NO, DON'T UHUH.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR THIS CRAP ABOUT YEAH.
I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE WORDS SAY.
I'LL SPEAK ABOUT THE, SO THE CONDITION WE WROTE FOR MS. ARMSTEAD IS WE, SHE NEEDS TO BE LIVING AT THE HOUSE WHILE IT'S BEING RENTED BECAUSE SHE'S THE MANAGER.
SO IF SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO SOMEONE, SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LIVING AT THE HOUSE? SHE NEEDS TO RESIDE IN THE HOUSE AND BE READILY AVAILABLE IF THERE'S READILY AVAILABLE.
SO THAT MEANS THEY HAVE TO BE PRESENT TO BE READILY AVAILABLE.
RIGHT? HE DOES NEED TO BE PRESENT, YES.
AND THEN LIVING AT THE HOUSE, I COULD BE LIVING AT THE HOUSE, BUT GO TO GO OUT TO WITH FRIENDS UP, YOU KNOW, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN OR SOMETHING.
AND THEN SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN.
I MIGHT BE ON MY PHONE SOMEWHERE, BUT THEN THAT VIOLATES THE DISTANCE ISSUES.
SO I'M JUST, TO ME, IT'S KIND OF A QUIRK HERE IN THE WAY WE'VE GOT THE, THIS THING WRITTEN, UH, OF, IF WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE SAYING, THAT YOU HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT THE WHOLE TIME.
SO MR. MR. RANDALL'S HERE, HE'S PART OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM.
SO, UM, I, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR HIM, BUT I THINK HE MIGHT BE.
I SPEAK, I'M NOT, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE RULES.
THE THING THAT WE BASE OUR RULES ON, THE GUIDELINES WE'VE SET FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS.
IF WE ARE, ARE WE REQUIRING SOMEONE TO BE PRESENT AND READILY OR AS YOU SAID, READILY AVAILABLE, WHICH MEANS TO ME COULD HAVE A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION FOR SOMEONE ELSE, BUT MEANS TO ME THAT YOU'VE GOT TO BE THERE, THEY CAN RESPOND MM-HMM
IN, IN A QUICK, TIMELY MANNER.
OTHERWISE THEN WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT SOMEBODY BEING AN X NUMBER OF MILES OR DISTANCE, UH, FEET AWAY FROM THE HOME? WELL, FRANKLY, SIR, SO YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE REG, THE REGULATIONS OF THE ORDINANCE DO PERMIT THAT SITUATION.
YOU'RE DESCRIBING THE POLICY AS THE POLICY IS WRITTEN THAT YOU ALL PASSED POLICY IS REALLY DIRECTED TOWARDS THE OWNER BEING, YOU KNOW, OWNER IN THE HOUSE OR LIVING IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN THAT WAS PASSED BY THE BOARD WAS, THE BOARD'S CONCERN WAS THEY DIDN'T WANT KIND OF THIS ABSENTEE SITUATION OWNING MULTIPLE HOMES.
THEY WANTED THAT PROPERTY OWNER TO BE INVESTED IN THAT PROPERTY.
AND THOUGH THEY FELT THAT, SO THAT ADJACENCY REQUIREMENT OR LIVING IN THE HOUSE, THEY, YOU ALL BOARD'S KIND OF DESIRE THERE WAS TO HAVE THAT INVESTMENT.
CAITLIN, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT IT WAS A LOT OF, LOT OF SMOKE AROUND WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S SORT OF AN INTERPRETATION OF, OF WHAT, UH, WHAT WHAT WE, WHAT THE BOARD WANTED.
WELL, ACTUALLY AS THE PREVIOUS BOARD.
SO THE QUESTION I'M ASKING IS THE WORDING, AS IT SAYS AS IT IS, IS LISTED NOW, THE RESTRICTIONS ON, AND WE'VE, WE'VE ALREADY REACTED TO ONE OF THESE.
WE TURNED IT DOWN BECAUSE THEY VIOLATED THIS POLICY, POLICY GUIDANCE THAT WE LAID OUT.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S WORDS WE'VE GOT IN HERE.
IF WE'RE MEANING YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU CAN LIVE THERE,
[01:45:01]
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE RESTRICTED THAT YOU, YOU CAN'T COME OFF YOUR PROPERTY THANK YOU.OR YOU CAN'T GO AROUND THEN MAYBE WE NEED TO CLEAN UP A WORDING A LITTLE BIT.
BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOTTA BE NOT AT A CERTAIN DISTANCE AND YOU GOTTA BE AT A CERTAIN TIME.
AND THAT'S THE, AGAIN, THAT'S THE POLICY.
IT'S, IT IS A GUIDELINE THOUGH.
AND IT'S NOT A FIXED REGULATION.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GUIDELINE.
IT'S KIND OF SO WHAT'S THE FIXED REGULATION DIFFERENT? WELL, THE FIXED REGULATION IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE ORDINANCE, WHICH WE'RE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS YOU COULD HAVE THE MANAGER OR YOU COULD RESIDE.
IT GIVES THAT FLEXIBILITY TO DESIGNATE THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
THAT'S THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE REGULATION.
SO WHEN I'M REFERRING TO THE POLICY THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR, THE LANGUAGE IN THE POLICY'S A LITTLE BIT LESS SPECIFIC.
LEMME JUST, WE PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HERE.
UH, HOW WOULD THEN THE, HOW DO THEY APPEAL THIS IF THEY DON'T? THE BOARD MAKES A DECISION.
IT GOES COUNTER TO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
THEY CAN APPEAL IT, RIGHT? WHOM? WELL YOU ONE THE COURT FOR ONE THING.
BUT, UH, THE, IS THERE ANOTHER FORM OF APPEAL, BOARD OF ZONING APPEAL? UH, WHAT'S THE OTHER APPEAL THAT WE MIGHT HAVE HERE THAT WOULD GO TO COURT? UM, THE GROUNDS FOR THAT, I THINK, UH, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK, I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY, SO I'M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT IT.
ATTORNEY THERE IS A ROUTE, THERE'S A ROUTE AN APPLICANT COULD TAKE POSSIBLY.
SO IF THEY MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA, MY QUESTION THEN GOES TO OUR, OUR ATTORNEY HERE.
SO IS THIS, IS THIS IS THIS GUIDANCE THAT WE HAVE IN ZONING OUR, OUR, OUR RULES, OUR ORDINANCE? IS IT SO NE IS IT NEBULOUS ENOUGH TO, TO WARN A CHALLENGE? I, I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO, TO SPECULATIVELY COMMENT ON WHAT SOMEBODY MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
BUT, UM, I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT OUR POLICY AND THE BOARD'S DISCRETION AND DECISION MAKING IS WOULD, WOULD UP WITH WITHSTAND A LEGAL CHALLENGE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? WELL, LET ME, IF, IF, IF I MAY, JUST TO HELP ADDRESS WHAT YOU WERE ASKING, IF I'M READING THE RIGHT DOCUMENT, THE, THE VERBIAGE SAYS THE OWNER OF A TOURIST HOME SHOULD RESIDE EITHER IN THE HOME OR IN AN ADJACENT PREMISES.
IF RESIDING IN ADJACENT PREMISES, THE OWNER OF THE TOURIST HOME SHOULD RESIDE WITHIN 3000 FEET OF THE TOURIST HOME.
SO IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF RESIDE? IS IT 24 BY SEVEN OR IS THAT WHERE, SO YEAH, MAYBE WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT LANGUAGE LANGUAGE UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT THAT IS THE CURRENT LANGUAGE OF TRUE THE BOARD POLICY.
SO, I MEAN, I DON'T, MAYBE I DON'T, RICHARD YOU JUMP IN, BUT I RESIDE.
YOU LIVE IN, I DON'T, THERE'S ANYWHERE, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYWHERE IN THE LAW WHERE RESIDE MEANS THAT YOU ARE ANCHORED TO YOUR IN THE HOME LOCATION.
BUT EVEN IF THE, EVEN IF THE RULE REQUIRED THAT YOU BE LIVING IN THE HOME WHILE A ROOM IS BEING RENTED, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T GO ABOUT YOUR NORMAL ACTIVITIES AS LONG AS YOU'RE IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND YOUR AND YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS DEFINED AS YOU BEING THERE, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS.
I'M JUST, I DON'T, I THINK THAT'S THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS BOARD HAD.
I THINK THAT'S THE UNDERSTANDING THAT MOST OF THE MM-HMM
UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMON LANGUAGE OF THE WORD RESIDE.
WELL THAT'S SCROLLING THROUGH THIS WHOLE THING AGAIN.
I'VE READ IT, I'VE READ IT A COUPLE ONCE, JUST ONCE.
SO THE VIOLATION IS THAT, THAT IS BEYOND 3000 FEET? WELL THE GUIDANCE IS THE, BECAUSE WE HAD TO SETTLE YOU, YOU WANTED TO, THERE WAS A DESIRE TO SET A LIMIT FOR WHAT IS, WHAT IS ADJACENT NECESSARILY.
AND SO THE DISTANCE WAS DETERMINED TO BE 3000 FEET.
IS THAT THE, WHAT I'M READING HERE, THE OWNER, THE OWNER DOES NOT LIVE.
THE OWNER DOES NOT LIVE OF ADJACENT.
AND HE DOESN'T, HE DOES NOT LIVE WITHIN 3000 FEET OF THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
THE OWNER DOESN'T LIVE IN STATE.
AND THE OTHER THING TOO, TOM, I THINK THE ONE YOU WERE REFERRING TO, I THINK THAT COUPLE WAS GOING TO BE TRAVELING A LOT.
IT WASN'T GONNA BE JUST TWO WEEKS, IT WAS GONNA BE MONTHS AT A TIME.
WELL, I MEAN, YEAH, THAT WAS THE THING.
THEY WEREN'T, THEY WEREN'T GONNA BE AVAILABLE.
YEAH, THEY WEREN'T BE AVAILABLE, BUT THEY WERE, THEY LIVED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THAT PROPERTY, BUT THEY JUST WERENT AROUND.
BUT THEY JUST WEREN'T GONNA BE AVAILABLE AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY THEY WANTED TO GIVE IT OVER TO, TO, TO MANAGE IT.
I GUESS I'M, I'M NOT SURE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE SET THESE, WE SET THIS STUFF UP SO THAT WE, IT WOULD BE CLEAR, CLEAR CUT TO WHAT WE, WHAT WE WILL APPROVE AND WHAT WE WON'T APPROVE.
AND WE'VE, WE'VE REACTED TO IT ON, ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE GOT SOME CONSISTENCY HERE.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IF NOT, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE FIRST PERSON WHO SIGNED UP IS BRIAN RANDALL.
MY NAME IS BRIAN RANDALL, 7 22 HILLIER
[01:50:01]
DRIVE.I AM, UM, REPRESENTING MR. LANDON HAYWOOD AS THE PROPERTY MANAGER CODE WITH MISS MONIQUE ARMSTEAD.
I HAVE KNOWN LAND FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
I GREW UP IN THE AREA OF WILLIAMSBURG AND THAT HOUSE ON PENMAN ROAD THAT IS AN AIRBNB BELONGS TO ME AS A SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
I GOT MY APPLICATION THREE YEARS AGO.
UM, AND I BECOME A SUPER HOST THROUGH SHORT-TERM RENTALS WHILE DOING SO, UH, WHILE BEING ABOUT 10 MINUTES AWAY, MY MOTHER LIVES NEXT DOOR TO THE PROPERTY AND HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE.
UH, WHEN IT COMES TO RESPONDING TO SITUATIONS THAT COME WITH THE HOUSE, NINE TIMES OUTTA 10 IS EITHER SOMETHING THAT CAN EITHER BE RESOLVED OVER THE PHONE OR MAYBE SOMEBODY, HEY, WE'VE CAN'T GET IN THE HOUSE.
UM, SO THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ISSUES THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE BEING, BEING ABLE TO GET THERE IN A, A FAST, TIMELY MANNER, UM, TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
UM, MR. HAYWOOD IS JUST LIKE ME.
HE'S, HE'S RENOVATED A HOUSE AND DECIDED NOT TO RENT IT OUT.
UM, WE ALL KNOW WILLIAMSBURG IS A GREAT TOURIST TOWN.
UM, IT'S BEEN A, A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE FOR ME WITH THE SHORT TERM RENTAL, UM, THAT I'VE HAD OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS.
AND HIM BEING MY BEST FRIEND, I SAID, HEY, IT'S, IT, IT'S WORTH A SHOT OF US TRYING TO DOING THAT.
AND IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO IT, I WILL MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY.
UH, I'M IN THE AREA, I LIVE IN THE AREA.
UM, MAMA HAYWOOD IS IN THE AREA.
UM, SO THERE, THERE ARE, I MEAN THERE ARE OF COURSE EXTENSIVE SITUATIONS THAT MAY HAPPEN SOMETIMES, BUT MANAGING THE PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE AND I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES AS FAR AS MANAGING THIS PROPERTY EITHER WITH MS. ALSTEAD.
HAVE, HAVE YOU BEEN MANAGING MR. HAYWOOD'S PROPERTY ALREADY TO THIS POINT? I HAVE.
SO AS FAR AS MANAGING, IT'S JUST OVERSEEING WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AS FAR AS LIKE RENOVATIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT OF PATELLA WAS READY TO GO.
OH, BUT NOT MANAGING THAT AS A RENTAL? NO.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION, SIR? I I, I COME BACK TO THE QUESTION OF MY UNDERSTANDING OF, OF HAVING SOMEBODY REPRESENT THE OWNER WOULD BE SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN THE AREA, HAS SKIN IN THE GAME AND IS AN OWNER THEMSELVES.
BUT YOU'VE PICKED SOMEBODY WHO I BELIEVE IS A TENANT.
IS MONIQUE ARMSTEAD A TENANT OR AN OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? ADJACENT A TENANT OF THE, OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY ADJACENT? YES.
SO, SO WHAT IS THE POSITION OF MRS. PUGH, THE OWNER OF, OF THAT PROPERTY? HE'S THE OWNER.
HE'S RENTING A HOUSE OUT TO MS. MON ARMSTEAD.
AND, AND HAS HE ENDORSED THIS, UH, STR APPROACH THAT I DO NOT KNOW.
SO YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS, ONE OF THE DIRECT NEIGHBORS PROVIDING A, UM, A POSITIVE RESPONSE? NO.
YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UH, THE NEXT PERSON I'VE SIGNED UP IS BARBARA HAYWARD.
WELL, IS IT THAT THE, THAT THE OWNER DOESN'T LIVE IS THAT PROXIMITY OF SITE? THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE AROUND WHILE THE PROPERTY.
BARBARA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LONG SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF OF SCHOOL BOARD.
THIS IS TWO, TWO TIMES THIS WEEK.
IT'S TO SEE YOU STANDING THERE.
BUT THIS TIME OF THE DIOCESE SIDE OF THE DIOCESE.
GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS, I COME HERE ON TO REPRESENT LANDON.
AS, AS BRIAN SAID, WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN THAT GROW UP WITH YOURS, UH, AND THEY'RE IN YOUR HOUSE AND FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL, THEY'RE YOUR OWN CHILDREN.
THAT GOES BACK TO THAT VILLAGE.
SO I CAN VOUCH FOR MONIQUE, AND WHEN I SAY THAT I'M LISTENING TO YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT RESIDING AND SO FORTH.
SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.
HER SON, IN FACT WAS THE GRASS CUTTER UNTIL HE WENT OFF TO COLLEGE.
I CAN VOUCH FOR HER BEING THERE.
AND I WANT TO THINK THAT HAVING SOMEONE NEXT DOOR IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE HOUSE IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
THAT YOU ARE, THAT, THAT, THAT THE RENTERS ARE NOT UPSETTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE 2.3 MILES AWAY.
WE'RE ALWAYS AT THE HOUSE, IF NOT CUTTING GRASS OR DOING SOMETHING FOR LANDON WHEN HE MAKES THE PHONE CALL.
SO I'M ASKING YOU TO APPROVE HIS REQUEST.
THE HOUSE SET EMPTY FOR A WHILE AND WHEN LANDON BOUGHT IT FROM THE REST OF THE FAMILY, THE HOUSE BECAME ALIVE.
THE HOUSE IS OVER 75 YEARS OLD AND IT BECAME ALIVE AGAIN.
AND YOU'RE JUST BLESSED THAT HE WANTS TO KEEP THE HOUSE IN THE FAMILY.
AND THE WAY OF DOING THIS WILL ALLOW THAT.
SO I'M AGAIN ASKING YOU TO APPROVE HIS REQUEST OF THIS BEING A TOURIST HOME.
IF THERE AGAIN, ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
[01:55:01]
SAFETY OF THE HOUSE, THE CONDITION OF, OF THE NEIGHBORS AND SO FORTH, WE'RE WILLING TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THAT.ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? IF NOT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? I'LL MOVE THE, I'LL MOVE THE, UH, I DON'T EVEN WHAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE OR SEE WHAT IS IT? UH, OUR, IS IT 25 82? YEAH.
I'LL MOVE IT, BUT THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE A DISCUSSION.
SO NOW FOR DISCUSSION TO GET IT.
OKAY, SO HERE'S MY CONCERN HERE.
I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, BUT, 'CAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST DID THIS AND I WASN'T, I WASN'T, I WASN'T IN LINE WITH WHAT WE DID BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE ISSUE.
AND I REMEMBER A COUPLE TIMES, COUPLE WE'VE, WE'VE SEEN THESE CASES WHERE, UH, ONE YOUNG LADY LIVED UP THERE, WANTED TO RENT HER APARTMENT, AND SHE WAS LIVING WITH A BOYFRIEND DOWN THIS SIDE.
AND WE JUST, AND THEY GET SOME YOUNG, I MEAN OLD GUY THAT WAS GONNA SIT THERE AND TAKE CARE OF IT.
AND THEN, SO WE'VE HAD VARIATIONS OF THIS AND TRY TO GET AWAY FROM THE VARIATIONS.
WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO WAS TO CREATE THE POLICY, OKAY? WHICH WE HAVE, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THIS POLICY.
NOW, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE ESTABLISHMENT'S POLICY IS THAT WE WANT, WE, WE, WE WANTED TO, UH, HAVE BUY-IN PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, WE WANT 'EM TO BUY INTO THE PLACE.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY, THEY OWN THIS PLACE.
THEY, AND, UH, THEY COULD RENT IT OUT.
THEY MAY HAVE MULTIPLE HOMES AND THEY CAN MAYBE MAKE SOME MONEY OUT OF IT.
BUT IT WAS ALSO THE ISSUE THAT WE WANNA TURN YOUR COUNTY INTO VIRGINIA BEACH, YOU KNOW, DOWN AREA WHERE WE ENDED UP WITH A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOODS OF NOTHING BUT RENTALS, SHORT TERM RENTALS.
SO YOU GUYS TELL ME, I'M INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE WITH THIS.
I MIGHT UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING TO THIS AND HOW IS THIS GOING TO HELP US IN THIS COUNTY.
SO MY, MY RESPONSE TO THAT, I GUESS WOULD BE, I'VE HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS WITH RESIDENTS, MY CONSTITUENTS, RESIDENTS ELSEWHERE, ABOUT CONCERNS THEY HAVE WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE IS, IS AROUND ABSENTEE PROPERTY OWNERS.
WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOWHERE NEAR MAYBE ANOTHER STATE, MAYBE ANOTHER COUNTY, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
AND THERE ARE ISSUES THAT HAPPEN WHILE THE PROPERTY IS BEING RENTED, EITHER BY THE RENTERS OR THE PROPERTY ITSELF THAT IMPACTS THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
AND THEY HAVE NOBODY TO TURN TO, TO GO, HEY, PROPERTY OWNER, NEIGHBOR, YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS 'CAUSE THIS IS IMPACTING ME, MY KIDS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
AND SO WE ADOPTED A BOARD POLICY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT BY SAYING, OKAY, IF THE PROPERTY OWNER RESIDES WHILE IT'S BEING RENTED, THE NEIGHBORS HAVE A SOMEBODY TO GO TO TO SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS 'CAUSE THIS IS YOUR PROPERTY.
SO WE ADOPTED THAT POLICY TO HELP GIVE THEM THE, THE NEIGHBORS SOME PEACE OF MIND.
AGAIN, TRYING TO BALANCE LET THE PROPERTY OWNERS DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, BUT ALSO TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ADJACENT.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR POLICY, IS TO GIVE THE NEIGHBORS RECOURSE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS THEY'RE HAVING WITH THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER WHILE IT'S BEING RENTED.
SO WHAT WAS OUR, WHAT WAS OUR POSITION OR WHAT WAS OUR ARGUMENT FOR, UH, NOT, UH, ALLOWING OR ALLOW, UM, WHAT IS IT THE MANAGEMENT FIRMS THAT COULD DO THIS? WHAT WAS OUR ARGUMENT AGAINST THAT SKIN IN THE GAME? THE PROPERTY OWNER.
AS THE PROPERTY OWNER, THEY, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE MOST SKIN IN THE GAME.
NOT SOMEBODY THEY, THEY, I, THEY FARM THAT OUT TOO.
SO WE CREATED, WE CREATED A POLICY THAT GAVE A DISTANCE, WHAT IS IT, 3000 FEET, I THINK.
AND, AND THAT'S WHERE THE, WAS THAT THE LIVE IN OR WAS THAT THE DIFFERENCE? THE 3000 FEET BETWEEN, UH, RENTALS? NO, THAT WAS, WAS 3000 FEET THAT THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER NEEDS TO RESIDE SOMEWHERE EITHER IN THE HOUSE OR SOMEWHERE CLOSE.
AND WE DEFINE SOMEWHERE CLOSE AS WITHIN 3000 FEET.
SO WE, WE WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, COMPANIES COMING IN, BUYING UP, BUYING UP LITTLE HOMES EVERYWHERE, AND THEN TURNING AND TURNING IT INTO A BUSINESS.
AND WE DID THAT BY LIMITING THE DISTANCE ON THESE THINGS, WHICH I BELIEVE THIS ONE COMPLIES WITH.
SO ESSENTIALLY THIS IS A, THIS IS THE, OKAY.
IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT IS A VIOLATION OF JUST SIMPLY BUYING IN THE GAME.
I MEAN, I HAVE THE SKIN IN THE GAME.
UM, THE OTHER, THE OTHER ASPECT WAS STOPPING PEOPLE, AS YOU SAID, LLCS FROM COMING IN, SWOOPING IN BUYING UP LOW, LOW VALUE HOUSING, CONVERTING THEM TO STR AND THEN HAVING NO SKIN IN THE GAME.
THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO AVOID.
BUT THIS DOESN'T AFFECT THAT AT ALL.
THIS PARTICULAR CASE, YOU KNOW? NO, PERSONALLY, I'D BE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE IF, IF IT WAS MRS. HAYWARD AS THE, AS THE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STR, BECAUSE THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE.
IT'S, IT'S SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE THE 3000 FEET, BUT IT'S A HOME THAT THEY'VE OWNED FOR A LONG TIME.
SHE CONTINUES TO LIVE IN THE AREA.
SHE WOULD BE A, A PROPER REPRESENTATIVE.
I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH A TENANT HAVING THE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE I HAVE NO LINKAGE,
[02:00:01]
NOTHING THAT TELLS ME WHEN THAT TENANT LEAVES THAT HOUSE NEXT DOOR, YOU DON'T GET NOTICE OF THE SALE.NOT LIKE THE OWNER NEXT DOOR IS MOVING AND THEREFORE THE SUP GETS CANCELED.
I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE I'VE GOT NO LINKAGE.
THAT TIES IT BACK TO THE RENTER.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE RENTER LEAVES THAT PROPERTY NEXT DOOR? THAT'S THAT'S WHAT IF, WHAT IF WE, OKAY, SO WHAT WOULD BE THE DEAL THAT IF THE PERSON OWNED THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR, IF, AND IT WAS GONNA SERVE AS THE, AS THE RESPONSIBLE AGENT? WELL, THE WOMAN NEXT WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR HAS BEEN LIVING THERE FOR HOW MANY YEARS? 25 YEARS.
THAT'S NOT MY QUESTION IS JUST WHAT IS DIFFERENCE? IF THE OWNER LIVED WITHIN 3000 FEET, THERE WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.
IT'D BE WITHIN POLICY IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
I THINK THE QUESTION IS WHY WOULDN'T YOU ASSIGN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MR. AND MRS. HAYWOOD? BUT SHE'S TWO MILES AWAY.
SHE'S TWO AND A HALF MILES OUT
AND SHE'S NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER, RIGHT? WELL, SHE IS RELATIVE.
SHE'S OUTSIDE TWO AND A HALF MILES, FIVE YEARS.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE POLICY THAT WE'VE CREATED.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO, I LOOK AT HIS GUIDELINES.
WELL, THE, THE ISSUE I'M HAVING HERE IS I'M GONNA, WE, IF WE TELL PEOPLE TO COME IN HERE AND WE SHOOT 'EM DOWN IN THEIR APPLICATION BECAUSE THEY VIOLATE THE POLICY, AND THEN HOW FAR OFF THERA HOW, HOW FAR OFF THIS, THIS POLICY DO WE GO? OKAY.
WELL, AND THAT'S WHY CONSISTENCY IS IMPORTANT BUT NECESSARY.
UM, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THE WELL, I MEAN, RIGHT.
BUT I MEAN, THIS IS, BUT THERE'S A HUMAN VALUE THAT GOES ALONG.
TOM, I THINK THE OTHER PART TOO IS THEY WERE TOLD UPFRONT THAT THIS PROBABLY WAS NOT GONNA GO THROUGH AND THEY DECIDED THEY GONNA THIS WELL, THE STAFF DOESN'T RECOMMEND IT.
AND, AND IT, IT FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE POLICY.
THAT WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TROUBLE.
EVEN THOUGH I DISAGREED WITH IT, WE WENT TO A LOT OF TROUBLE.
I LIKE THE POLICY TO GET IT ESTABLISHED.
I WANT 'EM TO WALK IN THE DOOR.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE FACING, OKAY? MM-HMM
THIS IS NOT A, THIS IS NOT A PICKUP GAME OF BASKETBALL HERE.
YOU, WE, WE'VE GOT THE RULES SET AND YOU GOTTA COME IN AND PLAY THE GAME.
SO, WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS FOR ME ON THIS IS THEY WERE TOLD UPFRONT THAT THIS PROBABLY WAS NOT GONNA FLY.
AND SO THEY WERE GIVEN THAT INFORMATION UPFRONT THAT, THAT THIS BOARD HAS BEEN VOTING AGAINST THESE BECAUSE THERE IS NO BUY-IN AND THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE FAMILY.
UM, YOU CAN DO A LONG-TERM RENTAL.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
YOU KEEP THE, YOU CAN KEEP THE HOUSE IN THE FAMILY NAME FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
UM, BUT I DO, WE'VE, WE'VE SET THIS POLICY FOR A REASON.
AND I LIKE STEVEN, IF, IF WE BEND ON THIS ONE, THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE AND THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE, AND THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE.
SO WE, I THINK WE HAVE TO SET OUR POLICY AND STICK TO OUR POLICY, OR WE GOTTA GO CHANGE THE POLICY, WHICH WE ALREADY THROUGH ALL THAT.
ONLY I GET TO SAY SOMETHING HERE RIGHT NOW.
I WAS, AS TOM, I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT SETTING A POLICY BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING WITH PEOPLE AND WE TAKE SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND WE TAKE EACH CASE AS IT COMES BEFORE US, AND WE, WE LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE CASE, AND THEN WE MAKE A DECISION BY SETTING A POLICY, YOU'RE CUTTING OFF THE HUMAN ASPECT OF, OF, OF A DECISION MAKING PROCESS.
YOU LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU, YOU DECIDE IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS IT, NOT POLICY ALL THE TIME.
IT'S A GUIDELINE AND IT'S A, I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE WITH THE COUNTY BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER WALKED AWAY FROM MAKING DECISIONS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BEFORE.
AND SETTING THIS POLICY TAKES AWAY THAT INDIVIDUALITY.
OKAY? HERE'S THE PROBLEM THOUGH.
THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE OTHER CASE SINCE WE CHANGED THE POLICY.
IT SAYS COME BEFORE THE BOARD.
IF YOU GO BACK TO, YOU GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL VOTE, IF YOU WILL.
YOU AND I VOTED AGAINST THIS, OKAY? MM-HMM
BUT THEN WE BROUGHT SOMEBODY IN HERE, THEY CAME IN, MADE AN APPLICATION.
YOU MADE A, YOU SAID, HEY LOOK, WE JUST A MONTH AGO HAD PROVED, UH, APPROVED THE, UH, POLICY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA KEEP YOUR POLICY? NOW, WHY SHOULD WE DO IT? IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
IF WE'RE GONNA BE A GOVERNMENT OF CONSISTENCY AND FAIRNESS.
IF YOU'RE GONNA SET A POLICY, THEN YOU, WE, WE, WE, WE GO BY THE POLICY.
OKAY? SO I'M AT THIS POINT WHERE I, I DIDN'T LIKE IT THE FIRST PLACE.
I DON'T LIKE IT NOW, BUT HOWEVER, THIS BOARD HAS TURNED DOWN SOMEBODY ON THIS POLICY ALREADY.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU, I'M GONNA BE CONSISTENT.
OKAY? SO I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN, THIS IS THE POLICY, THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN.
MAYBE WE NEED TO GO THROUGH A, YOU KNOW, SOME VERIFICATION OR VALID, UH, SOME ITERATION OF IT.
BUT I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS.
[02:05:01]
SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE.OKAY? BUT I'M, I'M NOT GONNA SUPPORT THE APPLICATION BE SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY TURNED, WE'VE ALREADY SHOT SOMEBODY DOWN OVER THIS.
AND I JUST CAN'T SEE THAT BEING THAT KIND OF IN INCONSISTENCY GOVERNMENT.
THE POLICY ISN'T ABOUT REMOVING THE HUMAN ELEMENT OR OUR ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS.
IT'S ABOUT REMOVING AMBIGUITY.
SO WHEN PEOPLE APPLY FOR THINGS LIKE THIS AND COME BEFORE THIS BOARD, THEY HAVE AN EXPECTATION OF HOW IT'S GONNA GO.
IF WE VOTED DIFFERENT EVERY TIME, HOW, HOW WOULD ANYBODY KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD EVEN APPLY FOR AN SUP? 'CAUSE? 'CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW SETTING THE POLICY, SET THE GUIDELINES SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE LIKELIHOOD OF APPROVAL OR NOT APPROVAL.
SO REMOVING THAT AMBIGUITY IS, IS HUGELY IMPORTANT.
AND THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS JUST LIKE TOM SAID, WE SET THIS POLICY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANNA LOOK LIKE VIRGINIA BEACH AND HAVE AIRBNBS POPPING UP IN EVERYBODY'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND SO WE HAD TO PUT SOME GUIDELINES AND SOME LIMITS ON THAT.
AND, AND THEREFORE WHEN YOU SET A GUIDELINE, YOU NEED TO STICK TO YOUR GUIDELINES.
OR YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE A FREE FOR ALL.
I THINK SOME OF THE GUIDELINES YOU SET, LIKE THE DISTANCE AND HOW MANY YOU WOULD HAVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT I STILL BELIEVE THAT IT'S UP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS AGAINST IT TO BEGIN WITH.
AND I THINK EACH CASE IS, IS AN INDIVIDUAL CASE AND YOU AND I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
I HAVE CHAIR, CHAIRMAN, I CALL THE QUESTION, CALL THE QUESTION, ALRIGHT, ROLL CALL PLEASE.
I'D, I'D LIKE TO GIVE THE APPLICANT A MONTH TO COME BACK AND CONSIDER WOULD THEY CONSIDER MRS. MR. AND MRS. HAYWOOD AS THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THIS HOME.
AND THEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THE OWNER ESSENTIALLY, UM, HAVING CONTROL OF THE HOME AND CONTROL OF WHO COMES INTO IT FROM AN STR.
AND THEY ARE OUTSIDE THE 3000 FOOT LIMIT.
BUT, BUT I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A FAIR TRADE OFF IN THIS CASE WHERE, WHERE THEY'VE OWNED THE HOME FOR 75 YEARS AND IT IS, IT IS FAMILY.
I'M GONNA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
YOU SET THE POLICY, THE POLICY SAYS THE DISTANCE, THEY'RE OUTSIDE THE POLICY.
NOW IF YOU WANNA TABLE IT AND GO FIND SOMEBODY THAT LIVES CLOSER, THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY AND WANTS TO SERVE AS A MANAGER, THAT THEN THEY WOULD BE WITHIN THE POLICY.
AND THEN THE HUGE, THEN THE HUGE PROBLEM IS EVERYBODY THAT WE'VE DENIED SO FAR BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY'RE GONNA COME BACK AND GO, WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THAT OPTION? SURE.
AS WELL THAT, THAT'S A I UNDERSTAND WHERE, WHAT YOU'RE THOUGHT ABOUT AND I GET IT.
I MEAN, I DON'T HOW I'M GONNA FACE THE PEOPLE THAT WE TURNED DOWN AND GO YEAH, WE, WE, WE TURNED DOWN ONE.
WE TURNED YOU WANNA WITHDRAW? YEAH, I WITHDRAW.
SO THE QUESTION BEEN CALLED WILL CALL PLEASE.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SHEPHERD IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 25 DASH 82 TO AUTHORIZE A TOURIST HOME IN AN EXISTING DWELLING AT 1 0 2 4 PENMAN ROAD.
[5. Six-Year Secondary System Improvement Program – FY2026-FY2031. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R25-86 to approve a project priority listing for secondary road construction for the six-year period FY2026 through FY2031 and to approve a construction budget for FY2026. a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Proposed FY2026-FY2031 Six-Year Funding Allocations c. Proposed Resolution R25-86]
ON THE AGENDA ITEM ITEM FIVE IS A SIX YEAR SECONDARY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.AND CAITLYN, IS THIS YOURS AGAIN? THANK YOU.
SO THIS IS AN ANNUAL, UM, JOINT PUBLIC HEARING BETWEEN US AND VDOT, WHICH IS WHY ROSSI HAS VERY GRACIOUSLY STUCK AROUND
AS YOU MIGHT RECALL FROM LAST YEAR.
UM, EVERY YEAR WE GET AN ALLOCATION OF FUNDING FROM THE STATE FOR SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
IT'S AN INSULT, EXCUSE ME, MINUTES AGO.
UM, SO THESE, AS YOU CAN SEE, WHICH WAS, UM, THIS IS A REDUCTION AGAIN, UM, FROM PREVIOUS ALLOCATIONS.
I, I DO WANNA NOTE THAT THE BUDGET OVERALL AND THE SIX YEAR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM HAS, UM, TO MY UNDERSTANDING SHRUNK A LITTLE BIT.
SOME OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF SOME SIT SITUATIONS WITH THE FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT THIS, AGAIN, THIS IS THE SIX YEAR FIGURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ON AVERAGE.
SO THAT WOULD, THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD SEE YEARLY, ABOUT $1,500.
UM, OVER THE PAST, I WANNA SAY ALMOST DECADE, THE SECONDARY FUNDS WERE KIND OF ROLLED OVER YEAR TO YEAR TO USE TO FUND THE PENMAN GOVERNMENT ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT.
UM, THAT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND I BELIEVE IT'S SLATED TO BE COMPLETE, I BELIEVE BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
UM, THAT'S WHAT I SAW ON THE PORTAL.
$250,000 OF THAT WE'RE SET ASIDE.
UM, SO FORTUNATELY FROM WHAT'S BEEN ROLLED OVER THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT LEFT OVER AND THAT'S GONNA BE ABLE TO BE PUT ON THE VICTORY BOULEVARD CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT TO MM-HMM
TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THAT BUDGET SHORTFALL.
SO THAT'S WHERE THE PROJECT IS.
[02:10:01]
REALLY PROPOSING HERE IS WITH THE ALLOCATION AMOUNT, IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE TOO SMALL TO PUT ON A PROJECT.UM, SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS ROLLING THAT MONEY OVER THIS YEAR AND THEN USING THAT TO COVER A, WHICH WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA PROJECT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME OTHER FUND PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PROJECTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE OR WHERE OTHER REVENUE SHARE PROJECTS WHERE OUR BALANCE ISN'T EXACTLY 50 50 AND BRINGING OUR COSTS DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE THAT MORE EVEN.
SO REALLY WITH YOUR ADOPTION OF R 25 86 RESOLUTION, THAT JUST AGAIN, ESTABLISHES THE BUDGET AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND THE DOCUMENT FOR OUR ALLOCATIONS IS HERE.
UM, ROSSI'S HERE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR VDOT AND THEIR SIX YEAR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OR THE SECONDARY PROCESS.
ANY QUESTIONS QUESTION REAL QUICK? YES, SURE.
SO, UM, SO THIS, THIS IS IN THE, UH, VDOT SECONDARY ROAD PROGRAM, RIGHT? IT'S NOT MY, OKAY.
SO, UH, THE USE OF THIS FUNDS HAS TO BE RESTRICTED TO THAT PROGRAM.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SECOND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE AND PUT IT ON SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE A PRIMARY ROAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT DOESN'T FIT INTO THIS TO MY UNDERSTANDING.
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN BE ROLLED OVER ONTO LIKE A ROUTE 17 PROJECT AND ROSSI, YOU CAN CORRECT ME, BUT I BELIEVE SO, YES.
SO SECONDARY ROADS LAKESIDE DRIVE DARE ROAD.
WHAT, WAIT, WHAT'S DEFINITION OF SECONDARY ROAD NUMBERS 600 DRIVER.
UM, HOWEVER, MICROPHONE PLEASE.
MICROPHONE PLEASE, I APOLOGIZE.
UM, SO 600 AND GREATER ROUTES ARE SECONDARY SYSTEM.
OKAY? SO ANYTHING THAT HAS A ROUTE 600 OR GREATER, UM, BUT A LOT OF THE PROJECTS INCLUDE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY.
SO LET'S SAY, UH, VICTORY IN CARIES CHAPEL OR IMPROVEMENTS TO SECONDARY ROAD AND VICTORY.
UM, PRIMARY MAKE THAT WHERE WE CAN USE SECONDARY FUNDINGS ON THAT PIECE OF THE PROJECT.
UM, SO IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE THE ROUTE 17 IS INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT NUMBER THAT THERE AREN'T SOME SECONDARY ASPECTS TO IT.
SO THERE MAY BE SOME ELIGIBILITY.
UM, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH PROJECT TO DETERMINE WHETHER TELE FEES, I MEAN, 'CAUSE THIS MONEY REALLY IS TELE AFE, UM, IS WHAT ALLOCATE OR THE ALLOCATIONS TO THE SECONDARY SIX YEAR PLAN.
AND THAT IS THE, UH, FEE THAT THE UTILITIES PAY TO USE THE RIGHT OF WAY WITHIN THE COUNTY.
UM, SO THAT'S WHAT FUNDS THE SECONDARY SIX YEAR PLAN.
SO YOU COULD PUT THE, SO YOU COULD PUT THIS AGAINST A UTILITY EFFORT? NO, THIS IS A UTILITY FEE FUNDING FUNDED.
SO, BUT IT COULD BE USED ON ANY SECONDARY ROAD.
SO UTILITIES PAY WELL SIDEWALKS FOR EXAMPLE.
YOU CAN USE IT FOR, FOR SIDEWALKS, YOU CAN USE IT FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
UH, YOU CAN USE IT FOR ALL, YOU KNOW, ALL TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION OR IMPROVEMENTS.
SO, AND WE'RE GONNA GET A ROUGHLY 151 K ALLOCATION FOR SIX YEARS FOR A TOTAL OF 907 K.
AND WE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF BANKING THAT UNTIL, IF WE HAVE A BIGGER PROJECT TO HAVE TO BUILD THE MONEY UP TO, TO PAY FOR IT.
AND, AND LIKE KAYLYN SAID, THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS THERE I THINK THAT ARE SMALLER PROJECTS BUT STILL MAY HAVE SOME DEFICIT WITH FUNDING, UM, SOME REV SHARE PROJECTS THAT MAYBE ALSO YOU WANNA LOOK AT DOWN THE ROAD SAYING, HEY, WE NEED TO GAP FUND THIS PROJECT TO PUSH IT THROUGH.
MY ONLY QUESTION ROSSI IS WHY IS VDOT TAKING OUR MONEY BACK?
IT SHOULD BE GOING THE OTHER WAY.
UM, THIS, IT WAS A LOT MORE ROBUST BEFORE WE HAD OPPORTUNITIES LIKE, UM, SMART SCALE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S VRES NEED ON A SECONDARY SYSTEM WAS THERE'S SMART SCALE FUNDINGS THAT GOES TO THAT AS WELL.
UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT USED TO BE A LOT MORE ROBUST MM-HMM
RIGHT? UM, NOW IT'S SORT OF LIMITED TO JUST TELE FEES AND SOME RURAL ADDITION MONEY.
I THINK WE LOST ABOUT 600 GRAND, WASN'T IT? SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT WAS ONE THING YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE BACK.
DOES ANYBODY CARE TO SPEAK TO THIS SUBJECT SCENE? NONE.
I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? MADAM CHAIR? I WOULD, UH, MOVE RESOLUTION 25 DASH 86.
I THINK WE HAD OUR DISCUSSIONS.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ROY IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 25 DASH 86 TO APPROVE A PROJECT PRIORITY LISTING FOR SECONDARY ROW CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SIX YEAR PERIOD
[02:15:01]
FY 2026 THROUGH FY 2031.AND TO APPROVE A CONSTRUCTION BUDGET FOR FY 26.
[6. Hampton Roads Sanitation District Easement. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R25-20 pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.2-1800 to authorize the County Administrator to convey a permanent easement for access and maintenance of utilities to Hampton Roads Sanitation District as necessary following the expansion of its facilities in the County of York in compliance with the EPA Integrated Plan. a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Diagrams provided to HRSD depicting the temporary and permanent easements. c. Proposed Resolution R25-20]
I'LL CALL ON ANGELA WEATHERS HEAD FOR, UH, ANGIE.ITEM NUMBER SIX, WHICH IS THE HAMPTON ROAD SANITATION DISTRICT.
I'M WITH HRSD, I'M A PROJECT MANAGER.
UH, I THINK AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALREADY GOT A PROJECT GOING ON.
IT'S LOCATED BETWEEN TAB HIGH SCHOOL AND THE HOLLY MEAD NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND IT.
WE'RE BUILDING A PRESSURE REDUCING STATION IN AN OFFLINE STORAGE FACILITY.
UM, THIS REQUEST IS IN REGARDS TO THAT WE HAVE A SMALL EASEMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SHE STILL WORKING ON IT? I CAN'T SEE IT.
UM, SO WHAT I HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IN YELLOW IS A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY GRANTED US
THE RED LINE GOING THROUGH THAT TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT IS THE, UH, IT'S THE LOCATION OF A VERIZON FIBER OPTIC, FIBER OPTIC LINE THAT WE NEED TO GET TO OUR, UM, PRESSURE REDUCING STATION.
IT CURRENTLY EXISTS? NO, IT HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET.
BUT WE DO HAVE THE EASEMENT TO BUILD IT.
THE TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT.
UH, WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN, THERE IS A PERMANENT ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WE ALSO HAVE ALREADY BEEN GRANTED.
UM, AND THIS IS SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR FACILITIES.
AS YOU'LL SEE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S THIS, THIS TINY LITTLE AREA HERE WHERE THE RED LINE IS NOT COVERED BY THAT GREEN PERMANENT EASEMENT.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS, IF, IF THERE WAS EVER ANYTHING TO GO WRONG WITH THAT FIBER OPTIC LINE, FIBER OPTIC LINE, WE COULDN'T DIG DOWN TO FIX IT.
UM, SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY IS THIS LITTLE LAVENDER PIECE.
THIS LITTLE LAVENDER PIECE IS THE, UM MM-HMM
PERMANENT ACCESS EASEMENT THAT WE'LL NEED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THAT LINE.
SHOULD WE EVER EXPERIENCE ANY TYPE OF FAILURE THERE? UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF THAT OCCURRENCE IS PRETTY LOW.
THOSE LINES USUALLY LAST FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
UM, BUT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN, WE WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT.
HAVING COMMUNICATIONS TO THAT PRESSURE REDUCING STATION IS IMPERATIVE TO OUR OPERATIONS.
THIS NEXT ONE IS JUST THE ACTUAL EASEMENT.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO EXPLAIN THE LOCATION OF THIS? DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, COULD YOU, COULD YOU GO BACK THAT LAST SLIDE PLEASE? THE CHALLENGE IS WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS SHEET IN OUR YEAH.
SO THE, WE ONLY HAVE THE SECOND SHEET AND IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.
WHAT VERIZON NEEDS TO PUT DOWN.
AND I GUESS TO THE RIGHT, AS I'M LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE, THERE'S A JUNCTION BOX THAT IT ORIGINATES FROM.
SO THERE'S A, BEHIND THAT FIRE STATION, THERE'S A BIG TOWER THERE.
AND THEN TO THE LEFT OF IT, IT RUNS TO WHERE, WHERE'S, WHERE'S IT TERMINATING? IT'S GONNA GO ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT ROAD THAT WE WILL BE CONSTRUCTING.
IT'S GONNA TAKE A TURN AND IT'S GONNA GO INTO THE ACTUAL PRESSURE REDUCING STATION.
SO THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE BUILDING, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING AT HERE THOUGH, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
THIS IS ONLY SHOWING THAT SHORT, SHORT OF THE POWER.
SO YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE EASEMENT YOU NEED FOR THAT TURN INTO THE PRESSURE REDUCED STATION.
AND A LOT OF IT'S ACTUALLY ON OUR PROPERTY, SO WE DON'T NEED AN EASEMENT FOR ALL OF THAT.
SO YOU JUST NEED THE BLUE FROM THE JUNCTION BOX TO WHERE THE PERMANENT EASEMENT'S ALREADY AT.
AND, AND WHO DOES THAT PROPERTY BELONG TO CURRENTLY? YOU, COUNTY OF YA? YES.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? NOT, NOT THAT IT MAKES MUCH SENSE.
UM, BUT THERE'S NO WAY FOR THEM TO TAKE THAT AROUND AND COME IN THE OTHER WAY? NO, BECAUSE THIS BOX RIGHT HERE EXISTS ALREADY.
THIS CURRENTLY, THIS BOX CURRENTLY EXISTS.
SO EITHER WAY WE, WE DON'T HAVE PERMANENT ACCESS, SO YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE PERMANENT ACCESS COMING THAT WAY TO THE, TO THE PHYSICAL BOX THAT'S LOCATED AT THE END OF THIS RED LINE.
SO EITHER WAY YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME OTHER ACCESS.
'CAUSE IT'LL BE A STRAIGHT LINE.
I WAS JUST SAYING IF YOU COULD COME IN THE OTHER WAY, THEY COULD BEND IT AROUND THAT CORNER, BUT IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
HEY ANGELA, MAY I, WHAT? DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? QUICK QUESTION.
[02:20:01]
WHEN'S THIS PROJECT, UH, WHEN'S THE, WHEN'S THE, UH, PRESSURE REDUCE STATION BE DONE? UH, SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION IS IN MARCH NEXT YEAR.FINAL COMPLETION OF IT WILL BE IN MAY.
AND IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE RECENTLY, WE'VE, WE'VE GOT YOUR TRAILS, UH, ALREADY CLEARED.
IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE PRETTY NICE.
IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'D CARE TO SPEAK? IF NOT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD, MR. C? SO I'LL, I'LL MOVE.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SHEPHERD IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 25 DASH 20, AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO CONVEY A PERMANENT EASEMENT TO HRSD FOR ACCESS AND UTILITY MAINTENANCE IN SUPPORT OF ITS FACILITY EXPANSION UNDER THE EPA INTEGRATED PLAN.
[7. Authorization of Salaries – Board of Supervisors. Consider adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 25-10 to establish the salaries of members of the York County Board of Supervisors effective July 1, 2025. a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Proposed Ordinance No. 25-10]
UM, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, UM, IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE AUTHORIZATION OF SALARIES FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.AND MR. HILL, I THINK YOU HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
UH, THIS IS YOUR ANNUAL, UH, RESOLUTION TO APPROVE SALARIES FOR THE BOARD AS YOU'RE REQUIRED TO DO EVERY YEAR.
THE STATE CODE ALLOWS THE BOARD TO ADOPT, UM, BASE FLAT SALARIES AS SET FORTH IN STATE LAW.
MR. BELLAMY HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD GIVE ITSELF A VERY SMALL, UM, PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN THE BASE SALARIES AS PROVIDED FOR BY VIRGINIA LAW.
AND THE RESOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DRAFTED DOES IN FACT PROVIDE FOR, UM, BOARD SALARIES AT THE SLIGHTLY INCREASED RATE PER VIRGINIA LAW.
ANY COMMENTS BY THE BOARD? YEAH, MY, MY SENSE IS AFTER SERVING TWO DECADES ON THIS BOARD, AND, UH, I KEEP THINKING, YOU KNOW, WHY DO WE GET MORE PEOPLE TRY TO RUN FOR OFFICE AND, AND AS YOU, AS WE EXPERIENCED, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GET UP HERE TO MAKE MONEY.
NO, THAT'S, I MEAN, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
BUT IT WOULD, UH, IT WOULD HELP DEFER, UH, ACTIVITIES THAT WE PROVIDE MOST OF US, I THINK, IF NOT ALL OF US, ACTUALLY DO MORE THAN, AND SPEND MORE ON THE GOVERNMENT THAN WE DO, THAN THAT IS BEING PROVIDED.
SO, UM, I KNOW NEIL MORGAN, WHEN HE WAS THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, TRIED TO PUT IT IN AUTOMATIC MODE THAT COULDN'T IT, UH, AND THAT DIDN'T GO, BUT, UH, I MEAN, I, I WILL, I WILL ADVOCATE FOR THAT JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, NOW I JUST SEE IT THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO GROW IT ENOUGH TO MAYBE WARRANT OTHER PEOPLE GETTING UP HERE AND RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT DOING LIKE WHAT THEY DO IN ALEXANDRIA.
WHAT ARE THEY PAYING NOW? 130,000 UP THERE AND GOT A, YOU GET A OFFICE AND A, AND AN AID, BUT, UH, YEAH, THEIR BUDGET'S LIKE $3 BILLION.
BUT ANYWAY, I'M JUST SAYING FOR US, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM SUPPORTING THIS.
IT IT, IT LEADS TO MAYBE A, AN APPRECIATION, UH, NOT ONLY FOR THE BOARD, BUT IT ALSO SAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT, IT KIND OF HELPS OUT WITH THE DEFRAY SOME OF THE COSTS.
I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT BECAUSE HERE WE ARE RAISING TAXES ON EVERYBODY ELSE, AND I DON'T THINK AT THIS, THIS JUNCTURE THAT I WOULD APPROVE A RAISE, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S MY FEELING ON IT.
I THINK YOU DON'T GET IN THIS JOB TO, FOR THE MONEY, AND I DON'T THINK THE SMALL INCREASE IS GOING TO MAKE ONE WIN OF DIFFERENCE WHETHER A PERSON RUNS FOR OFFICE OR NOT.
AND I, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, WE'VE RAISED TAXES THIS YEAR AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RAISE IT AGAIN, I'M SURE NEXT YEAR.
AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO RAISE OUR SALARY AT THIS TIME, BUT I LEAVE IT UP TO THE REST OF YOU, WHATEVER YOU THINK.
WELL, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS THIS YEAR.
UM, I, I, I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE WE SHOULD BE RAISING OUR SALARIES.
I APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION AND I, AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ATTRACTING ALL THE TALENT AS WELL, BUT, UM, THIS IS NOT HOW WE SHOULD DO THAT THIS YEAR.
I WOULD RECOMMEND AN A AMENDMENT.
WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS ONE WAY.
IF WE VOTE NO, THEN THERE'S NO SELLER.
I, I WOULD, I WOULD RECOMMEND AN AMENDMENT WHERE WE, UH, CHANGE THIS TO, UM, APPROVE THE OR ANNUAL SALARY AT, AT THE RATE THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SITTING AT AND, AND NOT AN INCREASE.
I, I BELIEVE THAT, UM, THERE IS AN R RESOLUTION PREPARED THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH PRECISELY THAT IF THAT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD.
I THINK AS OTHERS HAVE SAID, YOU DON'T RUN FOR THIS OFFICE FOR THE MONEY YOU RUN BECAUSE YOU'RE PRINCIPLED AND YOU HAVE, YOU BELIEVE, UH, TALENT TO OFFER OR ISSUES THAT YOU WANT TO RAISE, UH, TO THIS BOARD LEVEL.
[02:25:01]
AND, UH, FOR THAT REASON, I, I'M WHERE MR. RON IS, WE'VE, WE'VE SCRIMPED AND SAVED EVERY POSSIBLE AREA TO, UH, TO CUT OUR COSTS THIS YEAR.I WOULD FAR RATHER SEE THIS MONEY FLOW TO EMPLOYEES.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT, UH, LET ME JUST WING.
UM, YOU KNOW, MY THOUGHT, AND I, I RAISED THIS LAST TIME, I PERSONALLY THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ON A COLA EVERY YEAR.
AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING PEANUTS HERE.
YOU GUYS VOTED FOR THE RAISE, UM, OF THE TAXES AND ALL THAT, BUT WE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS.
IT'S ONE THING IF IT WAS 50,000 OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND, TO ME IT'S THE PRINCIPLE, BUT TO ME, WELL, THE PRINCIPLE IS IT SHOULD BE ON A COLA BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE GETS THAT.
AND IF WE STAY AT THIS RATE, JUST LIKE TOM SAID, I KNOW IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS WHEN I GOT VOTED IN, BUT I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT IT WASN'T QUITE ABOUT THE MONEY.
UM, NO, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, YOU DO WANT TO, YOU DO WANT TO CREATE TALENT, YOU DO WANNA BRING PEOPLE IN.
AND I CAN JUST TELL YOU, UM, THAT'S WHERE I STAND.
I'D LIKE TO SEE IT DONE ON A YEARLY BASIS BY COLA AND IT'S, IT'S, WE'RE TALKING PEANUTS.
SO DO WE MOVE THE ORDINANCE AND VOTE AGAINST IT? OR DO WE MOVE AN R? YOU CAN DO IT BOTH WAYS, BUT PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT WOULD BE TO MOVE THE R NUMBER ORDINANCE AND VOTE.
AND IF THAT FAILS, THEN MOVE THE, UH, I'M SORRY.
MOVE THE MAIN ORDINANCE AND THEN AT THAT VEILS VOTE, MOVE THE R ORDINANCE.
WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO, TO MOVE IT? WHAT IS, OKAY, LET ME, LET ME ASK A QUESTION HERE.
SO THIS THING PROPOSES PAY RAISE, RIGHT? OR DOES IT PROPOSE A COLA? NO, JUST ONE TIME PAY RAISE IS WHAT THIS PROPOSES.
I THINK I AGREE WITH, UH, WAYNE THAT, I MEAN, I WAS THINKING THAT THIS WAS LIKE THE COLA THING, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU JUST, YOU HAVE A, IT'S AUTOMATIC.
YEAH, IT'D BE AUTOMATIC, BUT THE STATE'S GONNA HAVE US COME BACK EVERY YEAR AND VOTE ANYWAY, AND THAT KEEPS US FROM HAVING TO ARGUE ABOUT IT EVERY STINKING YEAR.
IT'S THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE SEEN.
I MEAN, WHY ARE WE SITTING HERE ARGUING EVERY SINGLE YEAR? WE'RE KEEP ARGUING.
ARE YOU GONNA MOVE IT, TOM? THAT'S CRAZY.
I I, IF THIS KEEPS IT, OKAY, SO I I I'M GOING LIKE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO WE, IF IT KEEPS IT AT IT AT WHERE IT IS NOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE A BIG THING OUT OF IT.
I JUST VOICE MY OPINION, OKAY? MM-HMM
SO IF I SAID, Y'ALL MOVE IT, WHAT ARE WE VOTING FOR OR, OR AGAINST IT? YOU'RE VOTING FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT OF ANNUAL SALARY AT THE INCREASED RATE, RIGHT? I VOTE.
AND THEN I THINK MR. HILL IS SAYING THAT'S ONLY A COUPLE OF A HUNDRED BUCKS.
THEN MR. HILL IS SAYING, UM, IF WE VOTE, IF, IF, IF VOTE KNOWS, THEN WE CAN MOVE A SECOND ORDINANCE THAT'S ALREADY PREPARED, WHICH IS BASICALLY 25 DASH 10 R.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE JUST VOTE R AND, AND JUST PUT THE, PUT THE NUMBERS IN AS THEY ARE EXIST TODAY.
CAN I MOVE 25 DASH 10 R? YOU CAN.
RIGHT? SO I'D LIKE TO MOVE 25 DASH 10 R WAIT A SECOND.
WELL, YOU HAVE ESTABLISH THE R THE R, ALL THAT DOES IS THE SALARY IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.
RIGHT? AND THAT'S WHAT WE ESTABLISHED WHEN MR. HILL SAID THAT HE HAS THERE RA AMENDMENT AN R.
AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE, THAT'S THAT'S ALREADY, THAT'S ALREADY ADDRESSES THAT.
THE, YEAH, THE R WOULD READ, UM, SUBSTITUTE IN ON THE EX ON THE, UM, 25 DASH 10, 25 DASH 10 R WOULD READ, UM, 9,000 PER ANNUM PLUS AN ADDITIONAL SALARY OF, UM, 1,200 FOR THE VICE CHAIR AND 1,800 FOR THE CHAIR, WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHAT THE CURRENT SALARY.
WHICH IS? WHICH IS WHAT IS TODAY WHAT THE CURRENT, OKAY.
SO THAT'S, AND THAT WOULD BE WHAT THE R WOULD READ.
I MEAN, YOU GUYS KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 1,350 BUCKS.
YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
THIS IS, THIS IS CRAZY THAT WE'RE EVEN SITTING HERE ARGUING ABOUT THIS EVERY YEAR.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SITUATION WHERE THE EXPENSES AND THE, AND THE REALITY OF OUR ENVIRON OUR, UM, UH, FINANCIAL SITUATION WOULD COST US TO HAVE TO RAISE THE PROPER RAISE TAX AND THEN TURN AROUND AND VOTE MYSELF A VOTE MYSELF.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE, WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS, IS NOT RIGHT.
SO THAT'S WHY I WANNA MOVE 25 DASH 10 RI THINK WE'VE HAD OUR DISCUSSION.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. ROHN IS TO ADOPT PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 25 DASH 10 R TO ESTABLISH THE SALARIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE YORK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, 2025.

THIS IS THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CDR AND THE COUNTY CDR LISA SPACE, THE GRIFFIN YATES CENTER FOR THEIR EARLY CHILDHOOD, UM, FOR THEIR EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER.
UM, THEY ARE BUILDING A NEW EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER A LITTLE BIT FURTHER UP THE ROAD, AND THEY NEED APPROXIMATELY ONE MORE YEAR IN ORDER TO VACATE OUR VACATE.
GRIFFIN YATES IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
SO WE'RE EXTENDING THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR ONE YEAR.
ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
ANYBODY CARES TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE? AHA.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.
UH, PAUL SCOTT, CHILD DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES, UH, RESIDENT OF WILLIAMSBURG, BUT HERE TO REPRESENT CDR.
JUST WANTED TO THANK THE COUNTY FOR THE SUPPORT AND THE TIME ON THE AGENDA.
UM, AS SHERRY MENTIONED, THE PROJECT AT THREE 12 FALLER MILL IS, UH, WAS THERE TODAY.
WE'RE AT ABOUT A 56% COMPLETION RATE.
ANTICIPATE MOVING IN FEBRUARY, 2026.
SO THE ITEM YOU'RE VOTING ON IS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.
UM, BUT WE DO APPRECIATE THAT, THE FLEXIBILITY.
IF THERE'S ANY DELAYS AT ALL, WE'LL CERTAINLY LET THE COUNTY KNOW RIGHT AWAY, BUT WE'RE ON TRACK TO, TO MOVE IN IN FEBRUARY.
ANY QUESTIONS? AND IS THAT WAS YOUR CURRENT TARGET? FEBRUARY? YES, SIR.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT PROGRESS.
WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD? WHO'S GONNA MOVE IT? I'LL MOVE.

ALRIGHT, NUMBER 10 IS THE APPLICATION OF DOMINION ENERGY AND 13 AND 11, PLEASE.
WHO'S GONNA DISCUSS NUMBER 10? UH, HERE SHE GO.
THAT'S A SOLAR APPEAL COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR.
UH, MR. ANDERSON, WOULD YOU MIND, AND I KNOW MS. BRIGHT IS HERE FROM DOMINION ENERGY AS WELL MM-HMM
SO I WANT, IF I WANNA MAKE SURE I GOT MY READING CORRECT OVER ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, SO MM-HMM
THIS WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR SOLAR FARM BACK IN 2019, CORRECT? YES.
AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT WAS ISSUED TO, TO ALLOW THAT, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THERE WERE DELAYS MM-HMM
[02:35:01]
GENERAL ASSEMBLY, UM, PUSHED OUT BY TWO YEARS.I THINK THEY EXTENDED THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT BY TWO YEARS AND THEN DID IT AGAIN TO ANOTHER EXTENSION FOR JULY 1ST, 2025.
AND THAT IS ENDING THIS YEAR? THAT IS ENDING JULY.
THEY DID NOT READ YEAR RIGHT? CORRECT.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF THESE.
SO IN THIS CASE THOUGH MM-HMM
SIX YEARS AGO THIS WAS APPROVED MM-HMM
AND I'M ONLY AWARE OF, THE ONLY THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS A SUBMISSION OF A SITE PLAN THIS PAST JANUARY.
WHICH WAS REVIEWED AND SENT BACK FOR COMMENTS IN FEBRUARY.
AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING BACK SINCE THEN.
THEY'VE BEEN DEALING WITH ROAD ISSUES, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT FINALIZED ROAD SOON.
SO THERE, THERE WEREN'T ROAD ISSUES SIX YEARS AGO.
UH, THERE PROBABLY WERE, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THE PROJECT CHANGED HANDS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND NOW DOMINION HAS IT AND THEY'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO, SO THE REQUEST IS FOR ANOTHER TWO YEAR EXTENSION.
SO IN, IN TWO YEARS, THE EXPECTATION IS THEY'RE GONNA BUILD A SOLAR FARM OR THEY GONNA BREAK GROUND TO SHOW SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN AND AS PER THE DEFINITION OF MAINTAINING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT? YES, SIR.
SO WHY AM I TO BELIEVE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN TWO YEARS WHEN IT HAP HASN'T HAPPENED IN SIX YEARS? RIGHT.
UM, SO HERE, HERE, AND, AND, AND MS. DAN, LET ME JUST, SURE.
MY FRUSTRATION HERE IS THIS IS A REOCCURRING FRUSTRATION MM-HMM
THAT THIS BOARD WILL GET PETITION ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR PROPOSALS TO APPROVE.
WE EVENTUALLY WILL DECIDE TO APPROVE THOSE THINGS BASED UPON THE BENEFIT IT BRINGS TO THE RESIDENTS OF YORK COUNTY.
THEIR EXPECTATION IS THAT WHEN WE APPROVE SOMETHING FOR THE BENEFIT OF YORK COUNTY AND ITS RESIDENCE, THAT THAT THING HAPPENS THEN NOT SIX YEARS FROM NOW.
AND I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE THAT IF WE, IT'S BEEN EXTENDED TWICE, WE'RE GONNA EXTEND IT AGAIN.
THEN IN TWO YEARS, A SOLAR FARM IS GONNA MAGIC START POPPING UP OVER THERE.
SO, UH, WHAT REASSURANCE DO I HAVE IF WE, IF WE, IF WE APPROVE THIS, THAT THE PROGRESS WE GONNA BE MADE THAT WE DECIDED SIX YEARS AGO IS GONNA HAPPEN IN EIGHT YEARS? I CAN'T SAY YOUR, YOUR, YOUR LOGIC IS FAULTY.
IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY WHERE YOU ALL APPROVE SOMETHING AND IT, IT EITHER DOESN'T HAPPEN OR MAYBE IT CHANGES HANDS AND THINGS GET JUGGLED AROUND.
THAT'S KIND OF THE SITUATION HERE WHERE THEY HAD, IT HAD SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO DO IT AND THEN THINGS JUST KIND OF FELL APART.
COVID HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES IN THIS SITUATION.
UH, BUT I'M VERY CONFIDENT THAT DOMINION ENERGY HAS IT NOW AND THEY ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD.
LIKE YOU SAID, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED A SITE PLAN.
UH, THERE WERE NOT A HUGE AMOUNT OF COMMENTS THAT WE GAVE THEM.
SO I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THEY'RE GONNA TURN THAT RIGHT AROUND, UM, WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, IF THIS IS APPROVED SO THAT THEY CAN START CONSTRUCTION OUT THERE WITHIN THE YEAR.
WOULD DOMINION POWER LIKE TO GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK ON, ON THEIR CONFIDENCE ON PROCEEDING WITH THIS? YEAH.
OH, I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT AS WELL.
WE WERE ACTUALLY, AS MR. SCOTT MENTIONED, THERE'S BEEN SOME ISSUES ON THE SITE AND WE ARE WORKING TO GET THEM FINALIZED.
UH, WE ACTUALLY ONLY WANTED A YEAR BECAUSE WE'RE THAT CLOSE, BUT APPARENTLY THE STANDARD IS TWO YEARS TO ASK FOR THE EXTENSION.
UM, WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE CAN, IF EVERYTHING GETS FINALIZED, THAT WE'LL HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AND HAVE THIS DONE BEFORE JANUARY.
UM, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE
IF NOT, WE DIDN'T WANNA RUSH TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND SAY, HEY, WE NEED AN EXTENSION.
WE WANT IT TO BE PROACTIVE WITH THE EXTENSION.
THE SITE PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED.
ONCE THIS IS ALL HAMMERED OUT, WE ARE GONNA HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.
AND IF YOU COULD TAKE BACK TO YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOUR CORPORATE REAL ESTATE AND YOUR ENGINEERING TEAM THAT IS AT, IS EXPECTATION OF THIS BOARD MM-HMM
THAT THIS IS EXTENSION, THINGS WILL GET DONE AND WE WILL SEE PROGRESS ON THAT SITE AS, AS PROMISED AND AS AGREED TO SIX YEARS AGO.
WE ANTICIPATE THIS TO BE DONE BY THE, UH, IN THE FIRST QUARTER, 2026.
MS. BRAID, WHEN DID DOMINION TAKE OVER THIS PROJECT? THAT I WOULD HAVE TO, I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE TOOK IT OVER, I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE THEM INFORMATION TOO.
I JUST WONDERED HOW MANY YEARS YOU'VE BEEN SITTING ON THE PROJECT.
IT'S NOT OBVIOUS TO ME FROM THE WRITE UP.
HAS IT BEEN A YEAR? HAS IT BEEN TWO YEARS? I YOU GIMME ANY INDICATION OF THAT? I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE TOOK IT OVER.
UM, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.
IT WAS LIKE, STEVEN, I I THOUGHT YOU WERE READING OFF MY NOTES
I'M LIKE, WHAT IN THE WORLD? UM, YEAH.
I'M JUST CONFLICTED THAT THIS THING HAS TAKEN SIX YEARS TO GET, UH, SOMETHING SUBMITTED ON ALREADY ON AN EXTENSION AND I GET COVID MM-HMM
AND OF COURSE I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE HOW LONG, YOU KNOW, DOMINION HAS HAD IT, BUT TO HAVE JUST PRESENTED A SITE PLAN IN THIS YEAR AFTER ALMOST SIX YEARS, IT'S JUST CRAZY TO ME THAT WE HAVEN'T
[02:40:01]
DONE SOMETHING PRIOR TO NOW, MAYBE A YEAR AGO.SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN EXCUSE.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING WHY IT'S TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS PUBLIC ROAD ACCESS WHEN IF YOU GUYS KNEW THAT A LONG TIME AGO, WHY WASN'T THAT HAMMERED OUT? RIGHT.
UM, BUT WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS, I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE DO DO THE EXTENSION.
I'D LIKE TO SEE AN UPDATE IN ABOUT THREE MONTHS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN, UH, ASK THE CA HERE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A A, A THREE MONTH UPDATE TO LET US KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AT SO WE CAN ASK THOSE SAME QUESTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING, TODD? YEAH, I, I WANNA KIND OF MAYBE EDUCATE THE BOARD A LITTLE BIT ON, ON THESE THINGS.
UM, AND THIS IS NOT REALLY DIRECTED TO YOU OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, YOU ADD TO IT, YOU KNOW, SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? IT'S DON'T, I MEAN, OTHER THAN IT BEING A PAIN IN THE BUTT FOR THE STAFF TO KIND OF HAVE TO COME BACK UP AND US HAVING TO LISTEN TO IT EVERY TWO YEARS, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? NONE.
NOW THERE COULD BE AN ARGUMENT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE ELBOWED ANOTHER O OPPORTUNITY OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE PEOPLE, THERE'S BEEN NO, UNLESS THERE'S THAT ISSUE IS PRESENTED TO US, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? NOW THERE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS IN YOUR COUNTY, OKAY.
THAT, UH, EVEN BEFORE I SHOWED UP WAY BEFORE I SHOWED UP, THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN PLATTED FOR 30 YEARS BEFORE A HOUSE WAS EVEN BUILT ON IT.
NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE PROPERTY.
IT SAT THERE AND THE PERSON DIDN'T.
THERE, THERE WAS NO SALE OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE DEVELOPER, AS YOU'VE SEEN IN MANY CASES HAVE, WILL SIT ON PROPERTY.
UH, AND BUSINESSES WILL JUST OWN IT TO LET IT SIT THERE.
YES, WE COULD BE LOSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MAKING MONEY ON THE, IN THE IMMEDIATE POINT, BUT THE FACT IS WE DON'T OWN LAND.
THIS PARTICULAR CASE WE'VE GIVEN THIS LAND BELONGS TO RFA, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
NOW THAT'S THE WHOLE SOMEBODY ELSE.
SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF THEY WANT, IF THE APPLICANT HAS TO COME TO US, THE ONLY REASON THEY'RE COMING TO US IS BECAUSE OF THE TWO YEARS.
WE, IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE PUT DOWN THERE.
NOW, WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST.
I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT 'CAUSE WE WANTED TO REVIEW AND SEE IF ANYTHING IN THE ENVIRONMENT OR WHETHER IT BE AN ECONOMICAL ENVIRONMENT, UH, OR THE, THE, THE, THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NATURAL HABITAT OR ANYTHING IS CHANGING IN POLICY.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
NOW WE CAN SIT THERE AND WANNA SPEED IT UP, BUT WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? YOU'RE GONNA SAY, NO, YOU CAN'T DO IT, THEN WHAT? BUT THINK ABOUT THAT THEN.
WHAT? WELL, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IN 2019 WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED? MM-HMM
I'M ASSUMING THAT IT WAS APPROVED BECAUSE IT WAS GONNA BRING SOME BENEFIT TO YORK COUNTY.
IT WAS GONNA BRING DOWN ONLY TO TO YORK COUNTY, BUT TO THE OTHER AGENCIES THAT PARTICIPATED.
SO WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IS YOUR COUNTY HAS NOT SEEN THE BENEFIT IN SIX YEARS.
YOUR COUNTY SHOULD SEE THAT BENEFIT SOONER.
BUT, SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT MAKES.
WE, WE, IT WAS APPROVED BECAUSE IT WAS A BENE BENEFICIAL TO YORK COUNTY AND BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, YORK COUNTY HASN'T SEEN THE BENEFIT.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT MAKES.
SO MY QUESTION, MY QUESTION WOULD BE THEN, SO WE SAY NO, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA SEE A BENEFIT? YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOMEBODY RUSH OUT HERE
I GUARANTEE IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
NO, BUT THE POINT IS, I THINK I JUST HEARD THAT YOU HOPE TO BE DONE.
TELL ME FIRST QUARTER OF 2026.
SO THAT MEANS PANELS ARE UP GENERATING LEC, LEC ELECTRICITY.
SO THAT'S OUR, THAT'S WHAT WE ANTICIPATE.
SO WHEN, WHEN IN 2026, AGAIN, FIRST QUARTER, THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, QUARTER 2026 IN NINE MONTHS.
SHE'S TELLING, SHE'S TELLING YOU THAT.
BUT WHAT HAPPENED? SHE COMES BACK TWO YEARS FROM NOW AND HE GOES, NO, YOU MAY NOT EVEN BE ON THE BOARD.
AND IN THE NEXT QUARTER WE WILL BE WONDERING WHY, WHY HAS IT BEEN EIGHT YEARS? THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT GUYS.
SOME OF THESE THINGS WE CAN WANT 'EM, WE CAN WANT 'EM, WE DON'T CONTROL THE PROPERTY.
WE DON'T CONTROL IT, BUT WE DON'T CONTROL THE PROPERTY.
AND, UH, SO WE GOTTA KEEP IN MIND, I FEEL LIKE WE COME UP HERE, YOU'RE KIND OF BEING THREATENED.
I MEAN, THE POINT IS THERE'S A FRUSTRATION MM-HMM
THAT WE, THERE WAS SOME EXCITEMENT.
I MEAN, I GUARANTEE YOU IN THE NEXT SIX YEARS OR SO, WE'RE GONNA SEE SOME PRETTY BIG THINGS HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT SIX YEARS THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO PROPERTY AROUND US.
AND WE'RE GONNA GET ALL EXCITED ABOUT IT.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN? OKAY.
AND, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME EXPECTATIONS HERE ABOUT THIS.
UM, THAT, THAT WE HAVE A HISTORY OF EXTENDING THESE THINGS A LOT.
AND UNLESS WE'RE GONNA SAY, NO, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT IF YOU SHOW UP HERE AND ASK FOR ANOTHER ONE.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
BUT I MEAN, OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING EXCITED ABOUT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S THE POINT I'M MAKING, TOM, THAT WE HAVE THEM COME BACK IN THREE MONTHS AND GIVE US AN UPDATE.
[02:45:01]
TO BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY OF SOME PROGRESS MOVING FORWARD.AND I, IT IT'S PART OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY.
JUST SEND US A, SEND US AN EMAIL, GIVE US AN UPDATE TO THE STAFF.
YOU VERY APPRECIATE EMAIL YOU.
THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE SOMEONE PULLED AS A FISCAL AGENCY MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH COLONIAL BEHAVIOR HELP.
WHO ASKED FOR THAT ONE? YES MA'AM.
UM, SO THIS, THIS ITEM IS JUST, UM, FORMALIZING OUR AGREEMENT WITH COLONIAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.
WE HAVE BEEN THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THIS AGENCY SINCE 1990.
UM, BUT WE NEVER HAD FORMALIZED WHAT THE RESPONSIBILITIES WERE OF EACH OF THE PARTIES SINCE THAT FISCAL AGENCY BEGAN.
AND SO WHAT WE'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO WAS HAVE LOTS OF MEETINGS WITH MR. BELLAMY, THE CHAIR OF COLONIAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD, UM, MR. RYAN ASH, AND THEN OF COURSE DAVID CO, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE ON BOTH SIDES.
WE'VE DOCUMENTED THAT IN A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE HELP OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.
UM, I'VE VISITED THE BOARD MEETINGS AND WE'VE TALKED THROUGH THOSE, THOSE ITEMS. AND THEY'RE AMENABLE TO THE, TO THE AGREEMENT.
UM, WHICH BASICALLY JUST TALKS ABOUT THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE.
UH, WE DO PAYROLL FOR THEM, WE DO ACCOUNTS PAYABLE MM-HMM
UM, AND THEN WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ON THE, UH, ON THE INFORMATION THAT THEY GIVE US.
UM, AND, AND SOME OF THE RULES AROUND THAT, IF YOU WILL.
SO THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE MOU.
SO MS. GOODWIN, I, I RAISED THE QUESTION.
IT'S REALLY AROUND ARE THEY ACTING THE WAY WE WOULD EXPECT THEM TO ACT? ARE WE DOING ANY SORT OF AUDITING? WHAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY? HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THEY ARE DOING AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO? THAT'S A GREAT, I DON'T SEE THAT IN HERE.
WELL, IT, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE MEMORANDUM WAS ATTACHED, BUT NO, THERE, NO, UM, THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS.
THE MEMORANDUM DOES SPEAK TO AN AUDIT REQUIRED THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO DO AN AUDIT AND GIVE IT TO US BY A CERTAIN TIME EACH YEAR.
THAT'S ALSO IN THE STATE CODE.
UM, SO THAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING.
UM, BUT THERE JUST NEEDED TO BE SOME FORMALIZATION OF SOME OF THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO JUST ENSURE THAT THE TRANSACTIONS ARE ALL RUNNING THROUGH OUR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
SO AS, AS WE SIT TODAY, WE BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE IN FULL COMPLIANCE.
AND THEY'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE SOME CHANGES THAT WE'VE RECOMMENDED.
UM, I WAS AT THEIR BOARD MEETING, EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING TODAY, RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING.
AND, UH, THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH, THEY'RE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THEIR BOARD POLICIES.
UM, THEY ARE GOING THROUGH A, AN, AN AUDIT ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR AUDIT FIRM JUST TO REVIEW LAST YEAR'S, UM, RECORDS.
UM, JUST ONE ADDITIONAL LOOK AT SOME TESTING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THEY'VE, THEY'VE COMPLIED WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE REQUESTED OF THEM.
IF THERE AREN'T ANY MORE QUESTIONS, UH, WILL SOMEONE MOVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR PLEASE? 13 WAS THE ONE WHAT? 13 FOUR MORE.
13 PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDINGS IS TRUE.
HONESTLY, I JUST DIDN'T DO MY HOMEWORK.
BRIAN, I WANTED TO GET YOU UP HERE AND GET YOU NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE PODIUM.
NOW ONLY, ONLY A QUESTION I HAD WAS, UH, THE, THE CONTRACT AMOUNT CAME IN AT 8 34 0 4.
WHAT'S THE CIP ON THAT? WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE LIMIT ON THE C? IT'S IN THE CIP.
THIS IS A MULTI-PHASE PROJECT.
YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I'M SAYING THAT'S, THAT FITS THE CIP NUMBER.
IT'S WITHIN THE, IT'S WITHIN BUDGET.
I DIDN'T GET TO CHECK THAT BEFORE I CAME, SO I JUST MADE A NOTE THAT I'D ASKED THAT QUESTION.
KIND OF FIGURED IT WOULD BE, BUT I'M A LITTLE A DD ON THAT, SO THAT'S OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE LIKE TO MOVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR, PLEASE.
I MOVE THE CALENDAR ROLL CALL.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SHEPHERD IS TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR AS SUBMITTED.
[24. Sponsorship of Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to allow Indoor Firing Ranges in the Resource Conservation (RC) zoning district. Consider adoption of proposed Resolution R25 88 to sponsor an application to consider an amendment to Chapter 24.1, Zoning, of the York County Code, to allow indoor firing ranges within the Resource Conservation District by Special Use Permit. a. Memorandum from the County Administrator b. Proposed Resolution R25-88]
NEW BUSINESS AND THAT'S NUMBER 24, THE SPONSORSHIP OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW INDOOR FIRING RANGES IN THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION ZONING DISTRICT.WHO IS HANDLING THAT? THANK YOU.
SO I, I, I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. ROWE
UH, WE WERE ASKED BY, UH, MR. RONE TO PUT TOGETHER A SPONSORSHIP MEMO OR A, UH, SPONSORSHIP ROUTE.
RESOLUTION FOR YOU ALL TONIGHT TO REVIEW, TO POSSIBLY ADD, UM, FIRE INDOOR FIRING RANGES TO THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION ZONING DISTRICT AS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
UH, SO THIS RESOLUTION OF SPONSORSHIP WOULD SAY TO US AS STAFF, GO
[02:50:01]
DO THE RESEARCH ON IT.TAKE IT FOR A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THEN AGAIN, A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
SO THIS IS JUST A SPONSORSHIP, UH, BY YOU AS THE BOARD TO SAY, GO, GO AND DO STAFF GO, GO DO.
THAT'S PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 25 88.
WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MOVE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING? WE CAN.
MOVE, BUT I WANNA DISCUSS SOMETHING.
SO I, SO LET ME GO, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE OUR 25 DASH 88 SO WE GET INTO DISCUSSION.
SO IT'S MOVED? YEP, IT'S MOVED.
WE'RE GONNA TALK, WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS NOW DISCUSSION.
WHO WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING? SO MY, MY, MY CONCERN IS THAT, OKAY, WE'RE PUTTING THIS, WE'RE PUTTING A RANGE NOW, WEAPONS RANGE IN A, IN A RESOURCE CONSERVATION AREA.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PRO WE'RE PROPOSING OR INSTEAD TO ADDRESS THIS.
UM, I'M WONDERING, MY CONCERN IS A RESOURCE CONSERVATION AREA COULD BE THINGS LIKE SCHOOLS COULD BE PARKS.
UH, THERE'S A LOT OF, A LOT OF STUFF.
IT'S FIVE, BASICALLY ONE HOUSE PER FIVE ACRES.
SO I'M NOT, I DON'T WANNA BE JUST OPENING THE DOOR FOR WEAPONS RANGES.
SO, I MEAN, I WANNA SOMEHOW CONVEY THAT, THAT THAT CONCERN INTO THIS THING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHEN THEY START THEIR, THEIR DELIBERATION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW, HOW WE DO THAT.
AND A COUPLE THINGS TO, TO, TO KIND OF ADDRESS THAT.
THIS IS VERY, THIS IS GONNA BE PRETTY SPECIFIC.
AND TWO, IT'S GONNA REQUIRE SPECIAL USE PERMIT IT SO NOT BY RIGHT.
SO IT JUST PROVIDES THE POSSIBILITY OF WHERE THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO IT AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DELIBERATE AND AGREE OR, OR DISAGREE TO IT IF IT, IF IT SHOULD BE PROPOSED.
SO IT, I KNOW IT'S IN THE PROCESS.
UH, IN, IN THAT, UH, AND THIS IS A FIRST STEP AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE, THE DRIVER BEHIND THIS IS GONNA BE ABLE TO ADDRESS A, UH, A, UH, A CONCERN.
AND, UM, IT'S, IT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S GONNA BE A RARE, UM, ACTUAL WIN-WIN SITUATION IF WE CAN GET TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN BE ADOPTED AND THINGS MOVE FORWARD.
AND I I, I HEAR WHAT EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING AND AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND I, AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND IT.
I JUST DON'T WANT US TO END UP LIKE WE HAD IN DISTRICT ONE UP THERE WHERE A, A GENTLEMAN, WE HAD ONE BECAUSE HE COULD DISCHARGE HIS WEAPON, DECIDED TO HAVE A WEAPONS RANGE ON HIS PROPERTY, BUT IT WASN'T INSIDE, IT WAS OUTSIDE.
HE WAS JUST FIRING ON HIS PROPERTY.
NOW WE HAVE, WE HAVE, I HAVE A FARM IN THAT I DON'T OWN, BUT IT JUST IN MY DISTRICT AND OCCASIONALLY AROUND GOES OFF OVER THERE.
WHO KNOWS WHERE THAT ROUND GOES.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THEN CAUSES CONCERN BECAUSE THEY CALL THE, THEY CALL THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND, AND WHATNOT.
SO I, MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE'RE NOT JUST OPENING UP DISTRICT FIVE TO, YOU KNOW, RC RANGE DEVELOPMENT AND THERE'S GONNA BE SOME, LIKE THIS IS A VERY, VERY FOCUSED MM-HMM
THING THAT'S TIED TO, ALREADY TIED BASICALLY TO A GUN CLUB, BASICALLY.
SO, UM, I DOUBT, I JUST WANTED TO CONVEY THAT SOMEHOW CONVEY THAT CONCERN TO OUR PLANNING COMMISSION.
AND IT'S GOTTA GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
IT'S GOTTA GO THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE PROCESS.
SO THAT CONCERN WILL PROBABLY BE RAISED ON, ON, I HOPE IT IS SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT I THINK YEAH, I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE ADDRESSED.
THIS IS JUST SETTING THEM IN THE PATH RIGHT.
TO THINK THROUGH THIS AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT IF IT'S GOOD OR IF IT'S BAD OR, AND THEN THEY'LL BRING IT BACK TO US ONCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS DONE ALL THE RESEARCH AND VOTED ON IT.
BUT IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A, AN A, A NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUE.
WITH THAT, WHICH WE, WE CAN'T SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
THIS, THIS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO START MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.
AND IT IS, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE AN SUP, SO IT WOULD HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD.
UM, SHOULD I ASK YOU ALL FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION? I ALREADY ALREADY MADE THE MOTION.
THE MOTION MADE BY MR. RON TO ADOPT PROPOSED RESOLUTION R 25 DASH 88 TO SPONSOR AN APPLICATION TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 24.1 ZONING OF THE YORK COUNTY CODE TO ALLOW INDOOR FIRING RANGES WITHIN THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
