[00:05:01]
TODAY. I GUESS I HAVE TO PUT THAT IN THE FORM OF A MOTION.WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. MOTION BY MR. SIMMONS SECOND BY MS. ELDER. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
MR. BROCKWELL, YES, MR. SIMMONS, YES. MRS. ANDERSON, YES. MR. BRESKO YES, MRS. ELDER. YES, MR. JOYNER. AT THIS TIME, MRS. WALTON WILL GIVE US THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR THIS YEAR.
MR. WHITTEN BEHIND TAB FOUR IN YOUR PACKETS TONIGHT IS A STAFF RECOMMENDED FEE SCHEDULE UPDATE.
OVER THE YEARS, THE UPDATES HAVE BEEN DONE TO CERTAIN APPLICATION AND THE CURRENT LANGUAGE IN THE FEE SCHEDULE IS NOT AS AS CLEAR AND AS APPROPRIATE TO MODERN TERMS. FOR SOME OF THESE APPLICATIONS WE'RE SEEING, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE CASES.
AND ALL THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO ONLY CLARIFY EXISTING FEES.
NO NEW FEES ARE PROPOSED AND NO INCREASES IN FEES ARE PROPOSED.
THESE ARE JUST NOTES, CLARIFICATION AND REORDERING OF SOME OF THE FEE CATEGORIES, AND NO ACTION IS ACTUALLY REQUIRED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION BECAUSE THIS FEE SCHEDULE IS IN CHAPTER TWO, WHICH IS ADMINISTRATION.
HOWEVER, THE BOARD WOULD CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR REVIEW AND CONSENSUS ON APPROVAL OR CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS BEFORE WE TAKE IT TO THE BOARD.
SO I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE CHANGES WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU SOME EXPLANATION AND CLARIFICATIONS OF WHAT STAFF'S INTENT IS AND THEN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
AS YOU CAN SEE UNDER SECTION 2-2 FEES, THESE ARE THE FEES THAT RELATE TO PLANNING AND ZONING ITEMS. WE ARE JUST CLARIFYING THE BASE FEE, WHICH IS THE SAME BASE FEE AS WE'VE HAD AND THAT ANY REZONINGS TO PARTICULAR ZONING DISTRICTS ARE AT THE BASE FEE PLUS A FEE PER ACRE.
WE ARE JUST RELOCATING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FEE FROM THE BACK PAGE TO THE FRONT PAGE.
A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO BZA IS JUST A RELOCATION AGAIN AND THEN THAT THE VARIANCE APPEAL OR ANY OTHER BZA PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST.
JUST CLARIFYING WHAT THINGS CAN GO TO THE BZA.
AS YOU'RE AWARE, SOME NEW ORDINANCES IN OUR COUNTY CODE ACTUALLY REFER CASES DIRECTLY TO THE BZA.
SO THE BZA WILL NOW HEAR MORE THINGS THAN JUST A VARIANCE OR AN APPEAL.
SOME OF THE CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN PHASE ARE JUST EXPLANATION AND CLARIFICATION OTHER THAN THE AMENDMENT OF THE APPROVED MAJOR SITE PLAN.
THAT'S JUST A SUBCATEGORY AND IT'S A REDUCED FEE FOR THAT.
TYPICALLY NOW YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL FEE COSTS FOR AN AMENDMENT.
THE CATEGORY SITE PLAY AND READ REVIEW WAS JUST LISTED AT 2,500 PER REVIEW.
[00:10:02]
THAT THAT A NEW FEE DOESN'T APPLY UNTIL THE FORCE SUBMITTAL.SO IF YOU DO HAVE SEVERAL, YOU HAVE UP TO THREE RE SUBMITTALS BEFORE A NEW FEE IS CHARGED .
ON THE SUBDIVISION PLAT WE DO HAVE RE SUBDIVISIONS AND THAT'S ACTUALLY DEFINED IN IN THE CODE.
SO WE JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THOSE GO UNDER THE SUBDIVISION PLAT REVIEW CATEGORY AS WELL.
AND THEN THE REST OF THE LAST SECTION IS JUST SOME MORE CLARIFICATION LANGUAGE OF WHAT TYPES OF PLATS WE REVIEW.
AND WE CHARGE THE SAME FEE FOR ALL THESE PLATS.
AND THAT DEFERRAL REQUEST FEE IS ONLY CHARGED WHEN AN APPLICANT DEFERS THE REQUEST, NOT THE COMMISSION OR STAFF OR SOME OTHER INCIDENT.
IT'S ONLY CHARGED IF THE APPLICANT REQUESTED THE DEFERRAL.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THAT'S THE FEE CHARGED FOR THOSE.
UNDER GROUP HOME ZONING REVIEW.
WE DO A RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH A DIFFERENT PROCESS.
SO THIS IS A RELOCATION FROM VERBIAGE IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO THE CHAPTER TWO FEE SCHEDULE.
THAT'S ALL THE REVISIONS WE HAD LOOKED AT.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND IF NO QUESTIONS, GIVE YOU SOME TIME AND WE CAN LOOK FOR ANY OF YOUR INPUT OR CONSENSUS TO FORWARD TO THE BOARD.
VACATION IS WHEN YOU HAVE MADE A CHANGE.
YOU MAY HAVE SUBDIVIDED YOUR PROPERTY INTO TWO PIECES AND YOU WANT TO VACATE AND PUT IT BACK TO LIKE IT WAS.
SO AS A RESULT OF THIS ANYONE APPLYING FOR A PERMIT IN THE FUTURE AFTER THIS APPROVAL WILL NOT SEE A FEE INCREASE OR A NEW FEE.
[INAUDIBLE] STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING ANY INCREASES OR NEW FEES.
ARE THERE ANY PROVISIONS IN HERE FOR NEW FEES? NO, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ? IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE OR CONSENSUS ON WHETHER THIS COULD MOVE FORWARD OR DIRECTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE STAFF TO REVIEW OR CONSIDER BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT.
WELL, IF THIS THIS IS NO NO INCREASE OR ADDED FEES.
DO WE NEED TO VOTE AS A OR JUST AS A CONSENSUS WE APPROVE IT.
JUST. YOU'RE WELCOME TO GIVE THAT GIVE ME FEEDBACK OR STAFF FEEDBACK AND CONSENSUS ON THAT YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO IT MOVING FORWARD, BUT IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A VOTE.
DOES ANY ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS OR
[00:15:02]
WHITTEN IS THAT'S SOMETHING THEY CAN [INAUDIBLE] I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THEN TO SUPPORT THESE CHANGES.SO MOVED. I MOVE THAT THE COMMISSION SUPPORT THE REVISIONS TO THE FEE SCHEDULE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO STAFF AT OUR MAY 26TH MEETING.
MOTION BY MR. SIMMONS SECOND BY MR. JOYNER CALL ROLL, PLEASE.
YES, MR. SIMMONS YEAH. MRS. ANDERSON. YES.
YES. MRS. ELDER. YES. MR. JOYNER. YES.
NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST OF JOHN AND SHERRY HASS TO PERMIT A
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
TRUCKING COMPANY OFFICE WITH PARKING, STORAGE OF TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT AND TRUCK REPAIR WITHIN A B1 GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.GOOD EVENING. YES, I'M GOING TO PRESENT THE STAFF REPORT FOR THIS REQUEST.
IT'S AS YOU HEARD, IT'S IN B1 GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.
AND IT'S PURSUANT TO THE CONDITIONAL ZONING CASE FROM 2003 THAT WAS CALLED ZM 03-002.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY FOUR ACRES IN SIZE.
IT'S LOCATED AT 7901 COUNTY DRIVE AND IT'S IDENTIFIED IT AS THE TAX MAP NUMBER THERE.
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP INDICATES IT'S PLANNED FOR RESIDENTIAL USES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AGAIN, FOUR ACRES IS OUTLINED IN RED THERE.
IT'S LOCATED IN BETWEEN COUNTY DRIVE 460 AND THE RAILROAD AND GOLF COURSE DRIVE, EAST OF PUMPHOUSE ROAD. ALL RIGHT.
ON HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING MAP.
THE FOUR ACRES IS OUTLINED IN BLUE.
THERE'S SOME THERE'S A PORTION OF B1 ZONING TO THE WEST.
AND THEN THE REST OF THE AREAS SURROUNDING THAT ARE ZONED ARE A FOR RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL.
SO THESE, THESE, THIS LAND THAT IS RED IN FRONT OF YOU IS RE ZONED AT THE SAME TIME.
HERE IS AN AERIAL VIEW, AERIAL VIEW OF THE FOUR ACRE PROPERTY, APPROXIMATELY BASED ON THE COUNTY'S GIS SYSTEM ON THE INTERNET.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE IT'S JUST A PRETTY MUCH A CLEARED PROPERTY WITH TREES ON EITHER SIDE.
I'VE KIND OF TALKED THROUGH THE BACKGROUND A LITTLE BIT THERE.
YOU HEARD THAT THERE WAS A ZONING CASE THAT A TOTAL OF ABOUT NINE ACRES WAS REZONED IN 2003.
THERE WERE CONDITIONS ON THAT ZONING CASE.
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE IN A MINUTE.
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER THAT, IN 2005.
THERE WAS A BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT, AND THAT IS WHAT RESULTED IN THERE BEING A FOUR ACRE PROPERTY IN FRONT OF [INAUDIBLE] SEPARATED FROM THAT THAT NINE ACRE PROPERTY ORIGINALLY.
THEIR GOALS ARE TO CONSTRUCT A GARAGE WORKSHOP FOR TRUCK REPAIR AND CONSTRUCT AN OFFICE FOR THE TRUCKING COMPANIES USE, JUST OFFICE USE. AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARK TRUCKS AND TRAILERS WHEN THEY'RE NOT IN USE ON THE ROAD.
[00:20:03]
CARRIERS, CARRIERS OR OTHER DRIVERS WHO NEED A PLACE TO PARK THEIR TRUCK ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.SO OFFICIALLY IN THE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE, THE THESE THESE ACTIVITIES FALL UNDER THE AUTO REPAIR GARAGE USE AND THE MOTOR FREIGHT TERMINAL USE, WHICH ARE ALLOWED BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT THAT THE APPLICANTS DREW.
YOU CAN SEE NEAREST TO COUNTY DRIVE.
THERE'S I THINK THAT'S THE SMALL OFFICE WHICH WILL THEY'LL BUILD AT A LATER ON IN THEIR TIMELINE IN THE GRAY YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE REPAIR GARAGE THEIR SHOP AND THE GRAY RECTANGLE NEAR THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY.
AND JUST THEY'VE KIND OF OUTLINED THAT WHOLE INNER PART OF THE PROPERTY AS A PARKING AREA FOR FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT, TRUCKS AND TRAILERS. AND AGAIN, LEASING TO TO OTHERS TO OTHER COMPANIES OR INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THAT SAME AREA.
THIS IS JUST A VIEW FROM THE ROAD, FROM THE FROM GOOGLE.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S A CLEARED LOT.
SO PLANNING AND ZONING COMMENTS JUST NOTING THAT THERE ARE ADJACENT USES.
THEY'RE APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET AWAY.
I THINK FROM MEMORY THERE, THE EXPECTED IMPACTS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND ROADWAYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TRAFFIC, OF COURSE, FROM ENTERING TRUCKS, ENTERING THE PROPERTY FOR THE TRUCK REPAIR AND OCCASIONALLY IN PARKING.
THERE WOULD BE OCCASIONAL NOISE FROM THAT TRUCK TRAFFIC.
OF COURSE, THERE WOULD BE VISIBILITY OF THOSE TRUCKS AND TRAILERS AND EQUIPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
SO TO MITIGATE THE EXPECTED IMPACTS, THERE WILL BE FENCE OR WALL AND SCREENING, VISUAL SCREENING OF WHAT'S GOING WHAT IS ON PARKED ON THE PROPERTY OR STORED ON THE PROPERTY AND IN THE ZONING CONDITIONS STAFF RECOMMENDS TO TO HAVE THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES THAT THEY'VE THAT THEY'VE INCLUDED IN THEIR APPLICATION SPECIFIED RATHER THAN IT BEING OPEN ENDED AS LIKE THIS IS A MOTOR FREIGHT TERMINAL AND YOU COULD HAVE ANY NUMBER OF TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT TRANSFERRING SHIPMENTS BETWEEN TRUCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSED TO DO.
SO THE CONDITIONS WOULD JUST REINFORCE THAT.
STAFF ALSO NOTED THAT ITS OVERALL IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, GIVEN THAT THE CURRENT ZONING IS IS BUSINESS AND IT'S LOCATED ON A MAJOR CORRIDOR WHICH IS USED FOR TRUCKING AND COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL, IT'S ALL TYPES OF TRAFFIC.
THE OTHER NOTES ARE THIS THAT IT COMPLIES THIS USE COMPLIES WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE 2003 ZONING CASE, WHICH SPECIFIED CERTAIN USES THAT WERE ALLOWED THAT ARE THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THIS PROPERTY.
THIS IS THESE ARE SOME OF THEM.
AND THEN JUST THERE'S A NOTE THAT THE SITE PLAN IS REQUIRED.
OTHER STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS CAME FROM BUILDING INSPECTIONS DIVISION.
THIS IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
JUST BUILDING PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE FOR ANY NEW BUILDINGS THAT ARE BUILT.
UTILITIES DEPARTMENT NOTED THAT BASICALLY PRIVATE WATER SYSTEM, I.E.
AND THEY NOTED THAT PRIVATE WASTE WATER WOULD BE PERMITTED BECAUSE PUBLIC.
SERVICE LINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO CONNECT TO.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH NOTED THAT THE THAT A AN AOC OR P MUST REVIEW THE WATER SUPPLY NEEDS.
BUT THAT'S THAT'S A STANDARD COMMENT.
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INDICATED THAT A COMMERCIAL ENTRANCE IS REQUIRED.
THAT'S JUST A DEFINED LEVEL OF ENTRANCE, AND THAT'S BASED ON THE EXPECTED TRAFFIC VOLUME.
THAT WOULD BE EFFICIENTLY DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF A SITE PLAN.
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION JUST NOTED THAT.
[00:25:09]
I MENTIONED THAT STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.THOSE ARE, OF COURSE, IN THE STAFF REPORT.
THEIR COMPLETE SET OF CONDITIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS WITH MATCHING NUMBERS HERE.
NUMBER TWO IS IS SPECIFYING THAT AUTO REPAIR GARAGE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OF COMMERCIAL TRUCKS AND DIRECTLY RELATED EQUIPMENT AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE REPAIR OF GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES. SO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE ANY ANY KIND OF VEHICLES GETTING REPAIRED HERE.
THIS IS A TRUCK REPAIR FOR THAT BUSINESS, PRIMARILY FOR THAT BUSINESS.
AND NUMBER FOUR, IT'S JUST AFFIRMING WHAT'S ALREADY REQUIRED.
A SITE PLAN SHALL BE APPROVED PRIOR TO PARKING AND STORAGE ON THE PROPERTY.
AND NUMBER FIVE, AND THESE ARE SUMMARIZED VERSIONS OF THE COMMENTS.
THE EXACT WORDING IS IN THE ORDINANCE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE FINAL CONDITION HERE ON THIS LIST OF HIGHLIGHTS IS THAT THE THEY'LL NEED TO GET CERTIFICATION FROM A SOIL SPECIALIST REGARDING THEIR SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM AND.
OUR BASIS FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IT'S AN APPROPRIATE LAND USE ON THIS CORRIDOR.
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO LIMIT THE INTENSITY OF THE USES ON THE PROPERTY. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR STAFF AND THE THE APPLICANT APPLICANTS, JOHN AND SHERRY ARE HERE AND THEY CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIFIC FOR THEM.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AERIAL VIEW AND THAT'S SHOWN RIGHT NOW, THE HOUSES ARE NOT IN THIS VIEW.
AND I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER VIEW THAT HAS A SCALE ON IT.
I DON'T HAVE A SCALE ON THIS, BUT IT'S SEVERAL, SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY.
THERE'S A TRUCK VISIBLE ON COUNTY DRIVE OUT HERE, SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF THE SCALE.
BUT IN THEORY, THERE COULD BE SOMETHING DONE IN BETWEEN.
YEAH. IT IS THAT BLUE AREA THERE LIKE A POND? YEAH. YES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. GRAVES. THANK YOU.
OKAY. THANK YOU. I DON'T RECOGNIZE THAT POND [INAUDIBLE] VET'S OFFICE OR IS IT ON THE OTHER SIDE? [INAUDIBLE] IS IT VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD? YEAH.
DID YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS SLIDE THAT SHOWED PUMPHOUSE? I THINK TO ME THAT'S WHAT GAVE ME THE BEST LANDMARK TO UNDERSTAND WHERE IT WAS AT.
WHERE DO Y'ALL SEE THAT AT? OH THERE'S THE SCALE.
BUT YEAH, YOU STILL CAN'T SEE THE HOUSES ON THERE.
THERE'S A HOUSE YOU CAN SEE KIND OF SEE THE HOUSES ON THIS SLIDE.
AND ON THIS ONE, YOU CAN SEE PUMPHOUSE.
SEE WHERE YOU CAN SEE PUMPHOUSE ROAD OFF OF GOLF COURSE DRIVE WHERE THE BIG LAKE IS.
SO THIS IS THIS IS RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF PUMPHOUSE.
SO IT'S WELL BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOLF COURSE, IT'S CLOSER TO THE PUMP HOUSE.
[00:30:07]
[INAUDIBLE] I'M JUST SAYING, AS FAR AS TRYING TO ALIGN WHAT PART OF 460 AS THE ONE.THAT'S WHAT I USED AS A GUIDE.
I SAW IT WAS CLOSE TO PUMPHOUSE.
I KNOW ABOUT WHERE PUMPHOUSE IS.
I THINK THE ONLY QUESTION I THINK I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME ANYTHING THAT IS FOR PARKING ONLY NOT OVERNIGHT STAYS A TRUCK AND TRUCK DRIVERS RENT A PARKING SPOT TO SPEND OVERNIGHT. OR IS IT JUST A PARKED VEHICLES? NO, I'M JOHN.
PRIMARILY, IT'S GOING TO BE JUST FOR THEM TO PARK THEIR TRUCK.
AND BECAUSE WE HAVE A YOUNG FELLOW THAT GREW UP HERE IN PRINCE GEORGE, HE WANTS TO DRIVE FOR US AND HE OWNS HIS OWN TRUCK, BUT HE HAS TO PARK IT AT THE LUGS WHEN HE COMES HOME ON WEEKENDS.
AND IF HE COMES TO WORK FOR US OR OUR OTHER DRIVERS, IF THEY'RE TRANSITING THROUGH HERE, THEY CAN PARK THEIR TRUCK WITH THEIR LOAD AND THEN TAKE THEIR PERSONAL CAR, GO HOME LIKE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE.
BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR DRIVERS LIVE IN A MILLION DIFFERENT PLACES AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PARK THEIR TRUCK AND LOAD THERE AND NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IT ALL OVER TO KEEP THEM OFF THE ROAD AND STUFF.
BECAUSE WE HAUL IT FLATBED LOAD BOYS.
I JUST WANTED I DIDN'T LIKE TO ASSUME, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
NO, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE SEVERAL PLACES UP AND DOWN FOR 60 MORE AND MORE.
YOU SEE WHERE THEY'RE HAVING TRUCKERS SPEND THE NIGHT OFF THE ROAD.
YEAH, BUT IT'S PRIMARILY FOR OUR DRIVERS TO HAVE A PLACE TO PUT THEIR TRUCK IN A SECURE AREA OR IF THEY NEED TO WORK ON SOMETHING TO HAVE A PLACE SO THEY CAN DO THEIR WORK AND WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT WHERE THEY CAN GO.
THAT'S OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE FOR IT.
AND THEN DOWN THE ROAD FOR OUR SON AND DAUGHTER TO TAKE OVER AND RUN IT, RUN THE BUSINESS.
HOW MANY TRUCKS WOULD IS IT DO YOU OWN OR WOULD RUN? WE ACTUALLY HAVE ALL OWNER OPERATORS WITH THEY OWN THE TRUCKS, WE OWN THE TRAILERS, THEY RENT THE TRAILERS FROM US.
BUT IF WE HAVE SPARE EQUIPMENT OR LIKE, WE HAVE A PLACE TO PARK IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FIND A PLACE TO HAVE A TRAILER SITTING ANYWHERE AND.
THAT'S OUR BIGGEST THING. JUST SECURITY OF OUR DRIVERS WITH OUR EQUIPMENT AND OUR EQUIPMENT.
BUT HOW MANY I MEAN, HOW MANY TRUCKS DO YOU USUALLY HAVE RUNNING? RIGHT NOW WE HAVE EIGHT.
BUT LIKE I SAID, MOST OF THE GUYS ARE LIVE OUT OF THE AREA, BUT THEY DO TRANSIT THROUGH HERE A LOT WITH WITH THEIR LOADS, ESPECIALLY WITH 95 CART ON 85 LIKE THAT.
AND THEY DO RUN A LOT OF LOADS OUT OF THE PORTS DOWN HERE.
BUT IF WE GIVE THEM A PLACE TO BE ABLE TO SECURELY KEEP THEIR EQUIPMENT.
SO IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE THE GLOVES OR THE PILOT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
THIS BEING A PUBLIC HEARING, I HEREBY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ANYONE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
IS ANYBODY ON ZOOM? THERE'S NO ONE ON ZOOM.
WELL, I HEREBY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IF THERE BEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. HASS TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMISSIONERS FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTION OR DENY IT.
[00:35:10]
MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO FORWARD REQUESTS SE 22-04 TO THE BOARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND THE REASON FOR THIS RECORD MIDNIGHT RECOMMENDATION IS IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CURRENT SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING DISTRICTS.MOTION BY MS. ELDER SECOND BY MR. BROCKWELL. CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE.
YES. MR. JOYNER. YES. YOU DIDN'T CALL ON ME.
I DON'T THINK SHE CALLED ON ME.
MRS. ELDER YES. THIS WILL BE SENT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR APPROVAL.
[COMMUNICATIONS]
OKAY. SO ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.ACTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
ON MAY 10TH, THE BOARD APPROVED A REDUCTION IN THE REAL ESTATE TAX RATE, AND THEY APPROVED THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE STANDARDS FOR BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR THE STAND STANDALONE BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS. ON MAY 24TH, TWO DAYS AGO, THE BOARD APPROVED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO ADD THE SOLAR ENERGY SITING POLICY OFFICIALLY INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THEY ALSO APPROVED THE ASSEMBLY HALL FOR DUNCAN AND SUZANNE FUNG.
THERE ARE SOME UPCOMING CASES FOR JUNE.
THERE'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPLICATION FORM THERE FOR A NEW SOLAR FACILITY.
THAT ONE IS LOCATED ON JAMES RIVER DRIVE.
AND YOU CAN SEE A CONCEPTUAL PLAN ON THE SECOND PAGE THERE, AND THAT JUST SHOWS THE LAYOUT.
AND IT'S APPROXIMATELY IT'S ON APPROXIMATELY 42 ACRES.
BUT THEY STILL ARE SUBJECT TO THAT SITING POLICY, A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN PROBABLY THE LAST TIME WE DID A SOLAR FACILITY. WHEN THAT WHEN THIS ONE COMES FORWARD, THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE PUBLIC HEARING FOR A SUBSTANTIAL COURT DETERMINATION FOR THE COMMISSION TO FIRST DETERMINE IS THIS APPLICATION IN SUBSTANTIAL ACCORD WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TO TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, YOU HAVE THE SOLAR SITING POLICY TO TO TO USE AS A GUIDE.
SO THEN AFTER THAT, THERE WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE ACTUAL SPECIAL EXCEPTION CASE.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE USED TO, BUT THAT'S WHAT TO EXPECT COMING UP.
THE CONTINUING TO TURN IN THAT AND THAT'S THOSE PAGES OF UPCOMING APPLICATIONS.
THE NEXT ONE IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
SE 22-03, THAT'S ANOTHER SOLAR FACILITY AND THAT ONE IS ON APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SITE LAYOUT FOR THAT.
IT'S LOCATED ON PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED ON SOUTH [INAUDIBLE] ROAD.
IT'S ON. IT'S ON AT LEAST 20 ACRES.
SORRY, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE.
[00:40:01]
YEAH. AND THE NEXT ONE IN THIS LIST HERE IS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION SE 22-05.THAT'S FOR A GOLF COURSE LOCATED AT THE FORMER.
WHAT IS THAT? NEXT TO THE CHESTER PLANTATION.
AND WAS THAT PRINCE GEORGE GOLF COURSE? YEAH. YEAH. SO THEY'RE GOING TO USE A PART OF THE FORMER GOLF COURSE LAND FOR A NEW GOLF COURSE.
AND THESE ARE THE SAME OWNERS THAT OWN THE CHESTER PLANTATION BUILDING THAT YOU RECENTLY APPROVED, AN ASSEMBLY HALL AND, YOU KNOW, BED AND BREAKFAST.
SO YOU KIND OF HAVE A COMBINED BUSINESS GOING THERE.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, IS ONLY PART OF THE PROPERTY OF THE FORMER GOLF COURSE, PRINCE GEORGE GOLF COURSE, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE PROPERTY WAS DEVELOPED AS A 5 TO 10 ACRE SIZE LOT SUBDIVISION CALLED FIRST TEE ESTATES.
ALL RIGHT. AND THAT'S THE THIRD UPCOMING CASE FOR NEXT MONTH.
I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR STAFF.
QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
NO OTHER BUSINESS I LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION WE ADJOURN.
YES. MEETING ADJOURNED.
